00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:22,400
Welcome everybody to the Polarize podcast.

2
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,960
The bad boys are back.

3
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:31,960
The boys are back in town.

4
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:32,960
It's us.

5
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:33,960
The boys are doing it today.

6
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:34,960
Talking movies.

7
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,960
This is the Polarize podcast.

8
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:38,960
Hey everybody.

9
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:39,960
How are you?

10
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,960
Hope you're doing well out there.

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,960
If you didn't know, this is a podcast.

12
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:47,960
I'm sure you knew that part.

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,960
But let me tell you about the part you didn't know.

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,960
What this podcast might be about.

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:53,960
Polarize movies.

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,960
Polarize movies in the sense of rotten tomato scores.

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,960
Sometimes critics eat it.

18
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,960
Sometimes audiences love it or vice versa.

19
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,960
And those are the movies we talk about on this podcast.

20
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:08,960
We like to get into this is the polar zone.

21
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:12,960
It's been dubbed such and if you want to be a polar bear, come on in.

22
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:13,960
Come on into the polar zone.

23
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:16,960
We're going to be talking a great movie.

24
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:19,960
I'm going to just bury the lead a little bit.

25
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:23,960
We're talking bad boys to the score for this movie.

26
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:25,960
For all you numbies heads.

27
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:28,960
This is a 23% on the critic side.

28
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:29,960
Stinky.

29
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:33,960
And then 78% on the audience side.

30
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:35,960
Loving it.

31
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:37,960
Yeah.

32
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:39,960
Polarize movies.

33
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:40,960
Bad boys too.

34
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:42,960
What else do I got to say?

35
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:43,960
Oh yeah.

36
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:45,960
And it's not just me talking to that.

37
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:47,960
At just at any given time.

38
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,960
It's not just me.

39
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,960
There's not sometimes it's only me.

40
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,960
Sometimes there's, you know, our forever gas, my co-host, but no,

41
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,960
it's always going to be not just me.

42
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,960
It's going to be my co-host.

43
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:03,960
I'm going to bring him in now so we can spend the maximum for a

44
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,960
maximalist film, the maximum amount of time talking about said

45
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,960
film, bad boys too.

46
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,960
So I'm going to bring him in now.

47
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,960
Put your hands together for Mr.

48
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,960
James Lindsay.

49
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:15,960
Hello.

50
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,960
Hey everyone. How's it going?

51
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:18,960
Okay.

52
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:19,960
Okay.

53
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:20,960
Easy.

54
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:21,960
Easy now.

55
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:22,960
I know I was here last week.

56
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:23,960
Okay.

57
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,960
I know I'm the forever gas, but we don't have to pay it or to be,

58
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:26,960
but okay.

59
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:27,960
Hello.

60
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:28,960
Thank you.

61
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:29,960
Thank you.

62
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:30,960
Yeah.

63
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,960
This is the one word of this is, this is a two piece.

64
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:33,960
The same as this movie.

65
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,960
I'm a semi bad boy on occasion.

66
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,960
And this is not the, yeah.

67
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,960
This is not the singular podcast brand.

68
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,960
This brand is other podcasts we talked about where you.

69
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:42,960
Yeah.

70
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,960
I'm just screaming into the void.

71
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:46,960
I'm excited for that one.

72
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,960
You're still working on that though, right?

73
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:49,960
I'm still working on it.

74
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:50,960
Yeah.

75
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,960
Right now it's just an audible screaming and yelling.

76
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,960
So, you know, I need to fix the levels and maybe I'll put it out.

77
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:57,960
Yeah.

78
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,960
I mean, that's, that's something where you're, it's hard to get in

79
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,960
touch with your inner, inner self to, to work on that because

80
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,960
it's a, you can't do it alone, but then to, to split yourself

81
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,960
apart into a, you know, wearing multiple hats.

82
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:11,960
I know that's, that's tough.

83
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,960
So good luck with that.

84
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,960
And thank you so much.

85
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:16,960
Yeah.

86
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,960
Screams back for now.

87
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:21,960
For now.

88
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,960
For now we'll just continue to be our semi, semi bad selves.

89
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:26,960
I don't know.

90
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,960
I, how do you, do you relate with this movie?

91
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,960
That's such an excellent question.

92
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,960
I'm so glad you're starting off with it.

93
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:35,960
Yeah.

94
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:36,960
Let's start there.

95
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,960
Let's really see bad boys too.

96
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,960
You're like, listen, this is what I might get me.

97
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,960
I, it just makes me want to be so bad.

98
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:45,960
Yeah.

99
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:46,960
Oh yeah.

100
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,960
Oh, it makes you want to be bad.

101
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:49,960
Yeah.

102
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,960
Cause I don't think I'm as bad as these bad boys all the time.

103
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,960
But man, does it make me want to be bad?

104
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:56,960
Aspirations.

105
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:57,960
Yes.

106
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,960
As the aspirational badness.

107
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:00,960
Yeah.

108
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,960
They really got to, they're like in, in step in this movie more.

109
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,960
Like, I mean, the first one is great for my memory as a

110
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:08,960
well.

111
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,960
I don't remember a lot of it to be, to be honest, but this one,

112
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,960
it just seems like they're just, they just like goes and they're

113
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,960
like together and their chemistry is electric.

114
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,960
We just got to say, say that off the gate.

115
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,960
But yeah, absolutely.

116
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,960
I, I makes me, yeah, it makes me want to be a little bad sometimes

117
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:28,960
too.

118
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,960
It's like, Hey, there's the man staring me in the face and maybe

119
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:32,960
I just want to do it my way.

120
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:33,960
Thank you.

121
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:34,960
Thank you very much.

122
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,960
Oh, but then my way.

123
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:37,960
All right.

124
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:38,960
Frank.

125
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,960
I think Frank would have liked this movie.

126
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:44,960
Yeah.

127
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:45,960
I think so.

128
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:46,960
Yeah.

129
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,960
Like, he's like, Hey, the scenery bed.

130
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:50,960
That's my friend.

131
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:51,960
Yeah.

132
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:52,960
That's your Frank.

133
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:53,960
It's nice.

134
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:54,960
It's good.

135
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,960
Hey, I go down to Miami and, you know, watch this new picture.

136
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:58,960
Yeah.

137
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,960
This, I'm so glad this franchise exists because I mean, first

138
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,960
and foremost, Will Smith in this,

139
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,960
you like this franchise?

140
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:07,960
I like this franchise.

141
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:08,960
Yeah.

142
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:09,960
This is a good franchise for me.

143
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:10,960
And I like this.

144
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,960
I like this will Smith a lot.

145
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Yes.

146
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:14,960
I absolutely agree there.

147
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:15,960
Good.

148
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,960
I was, I was talking, I was, you know, this is kind of like

149
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,960
what screaming a little peek into what screaming into the

150
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:21,960
boy.

151
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,960
It's kind of like, but, but I was talking to myself about and

152
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,960
arguing with myself with, um, is this my favorite Will Smith

153
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:29,960
performance?

154
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,960
And I want to really say yes.

155
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,960
Cause it's the best he ever looks.

156
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:36,960
It's the funnest he ever is.

157
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,960
He's totally tuned in to what's going on.

158
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,960
Like this role is perfect for him.

159
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:44,960
I agree.

160
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:45,960
Absolutely perfect.

161
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,960
He works really well for a Michael Bay movie as well.

162
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,960
And you start to question like Mike, what's Michael Bay's

163
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:51,960
peak as well.

164
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,960
But that maybe is another discussion, but Will Smith,

165
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,960
he's on such a, he's on such a tear.

166
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,960
And I mean, I could argue if this is Michael Bay's best

167
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:01,960
movie too.

168
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:02,960
Sure.

169
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,960
He's on such a, such a tear at this time.

170
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,960
At this time, Will Smith, like, uh, I mean, I guess I'd have to

171
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,960
pull up, you know, what, what, where he's at his place and

172
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,960
everything, but I absolutely love men in black and his whole

173
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,960
sci-fi run and everything like that.

174
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,960
Um, and I guess independence day would be in the, in there

175
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:23,960
somewhere as well.

176
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,960
But this is something where I like how crass it is.

177
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,960
I like where he's a little unhinged.

178
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,960
And, uh, it's, it's, and for my Michael Bay a little bit from

179
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,960
that matter too, there's some fucked up shit.

180
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,960
The humor is a little, it's a little, you know, it's, it's a

181
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,960
little like morose and almost morbid, morbid, some, some of

182
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:47,960
the shit.

183
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,960
Um, and pretty fucked up.

184
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:50,960
Yeah.

185
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,960
But man, if the backbone of this movie and something that they,

186
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,960
I'm not sure if there's a scene that, I mean, I guess there's

187
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,960
some with like the, the drug, the, the gangster bosses and all

188
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,960
that stuff, but like there's really not many scenes without

189
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,960
them in this movie.

190
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,960
And that's such a, a winning part of it is just banking on

191
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,960
their chemistry, them two back at it.

192
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,960
Uh, you know, the boys are back in town.

193
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,960
They're the bad boys and they're back in town for sure.

194
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,960
And it's, you can, you can feel, yeah, you said maximum,

195
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:24,960
maximum list right off the bat too.

196
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,960
You can feel the energy where they're just throwing everything

197
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,960
at the wall and, uh, no one's saying no to all, all Michael

198
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,960
Bay or all Mikey.

199
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,960
Oh my Mikey.

200
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:41,960
Uh, yeah, my God, um, there isn't, there is so maximalist

201
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:46,960
almost doesn't even fall short a little bit because there are just

202
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,960
parts in this movie where I was like, holy shit.

203
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:50,960
There's a lot of parts.

204
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:51,960
How did you do that?

205
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,960
There's, because it's just a lot of this movie is action scene to

206
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,960
action scene to action scene to action scene.

207
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,960
And the way that Michael Bay, and I think we've talked about this

208
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,960
before, but like Michael Bay just briefly, you know, career wise,

209
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,960
like he came from directing music videos to directing movies.

210
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:09,960
He has a very unique style.

211
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,960
We've talked about Bayham, I believe before.

212
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:17,960
And this, this too, I can, I can really get on board with this

213
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,960
being his best is because this is where for better for worse,

214
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,960
he's on his bullshit.

215
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,960
But like, you know, that ends up being such a caricature.

216
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,960
I feel like after this, but this is like the pinnacle of like it.

217
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,960
He hasn't done this enough for it to be you to be fatigued on it,

218
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:44,960
but you can start to see like a little bit of the, this might,

219
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,960
I mean, hearing so much more for like, for show than substance,

220
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,960
you know, because the difference, because I rewatched bad boys

221
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,960
one, you know, in getting ready for this discussion.

222
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,960
And obviously it's an action movie for sure through and through.

223
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,960
And it's an amazing movie, but there's so much more relationship

224
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:04,960
stuff in that.

225
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,960
When you look at like what the runtime of bad boys one is

226
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,960
composed of, it's a lot of really funny them talking about stuff.

227
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,960
Shit, not necessarily them like going on a chase and blowing

228
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:16,960
shit up, whatever.

229
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,960
It's them talking about it.

230
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,960
So there's a lot, there's more meat on those bones than just like over

231
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,960
the top action every which way, just busting at the seams.

232
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:27,960
But I don't know.

233
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,960
It just like it can hit you and it was hit me like when you're

234
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,960
in the mood for that, it doesn't like, you don't necessarily want

235
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,960
the story to get bogged down, right?

236
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,960
Like you don't want to, you kind of just want a bunch of action shit.

237
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,960
You wanted to kind of rip and roar.

238
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,960
This is where the roads diverge, I think, for a lot of people,

239
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,960
why this movie is on this podcast, right?

240
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,960
Where like this is where arguably a lot of the critics would say he

241
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:54,960
is going too far.

242
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,960
No, you've gone, you've pushed it too far.

243
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:03,960
Mr. Bay, P you stinky stinky P you P I gotta go.

244
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,960
But if this is a lot of what you like from bad boys from my memory

245
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,960
and they do repeat some like fan service sort of things, but it's

246
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:14,960
so much more than that.

247
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,960
And it's so much of so there's so much in this in this movie to pinpoint

248
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,960
it would be my guess.

249
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,960
A lot of these reviews would point to too much.

250
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:27,960
Yeah, too much.

251
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:28,960
All flash no substance.

252
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:29,960
Yeah, for sure.

253
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:30,960
But again, yeah, I don't know.

254
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,960
Like another thing that, you know, could also be featured on

255
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,960
Screaming Into the Void is an argument I was having with myself

256
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,960
about whether or not this is one of the most rewatchable movies

257
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,960
we've done on this podcast.

258
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,960
And I was revisiting, you know, what we have done in the past.

259
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,960
And I mean, this movie is crazy rewatchable.

260
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,960
Like, sure, you don't necessarily have to stay for the whole thing

261
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:52,960
because you fucking get it.

262
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,960
Like anybody gets it right off the bat.

263
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,960
You're like, yeah, it's going to be about them busing a drug dealer.

264
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:58,960
Okay, you get it.

265
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,960
Moving on, you know, onto the onto the next, you know, onto the

266
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,960
next car chase or, you know, house exploding or whatever or

267
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,960
people having a massive gunfight.

268
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,960
And this this might be one of the most rewatchable movies.

269
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:12,960
Let me pause it to you.

270
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,960
The ones that were in contention for me as the most rewatchable

271
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,960
movies that we've done on this pond.

272
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,960
And those would be night at the Roxbury.

273
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:21,960
Yes.

274
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,960
Super Troopers.

275
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,960
And that's in that we Super Troopers.

276
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,960
I would, that would have been like an honorable mention for me,

277
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,960
but like what else it was.

278
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,960
I hit the Roxbury.

279
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,960
Maybe the holiday.

280
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,960
Oh, the holiday. Like really just like very, you know,

281
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,960
not necessarily like my favorite because like, I think fear and

282
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,960
loathing I've watched a lot and I do find it really rewatchable,

283
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,960
but that movie is like kind of long meandering in a lot of places

284
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,960
and like, sure, I like bits and pieces of it, but like, I don't

285
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,960
know when it comes to, if I were to consider most rewatchable as

286
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,960
like, if it was on, I would watch a fair amount of it.

287
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:01,960
Would I finish it?

288
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,960
Maybe not whatever, but like how much of this do I enjoy always

289
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,960
rewatching it? And yeah, then it was like, what else?

290
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,960
It was, it was another one.

291
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,960
There was, there was three, including bad boys.

292
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,960
Men in Tides is pretty great Ace Ventura when nature calls.

293
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,960
I mean, some of these comedies are what I think of.

294
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:20,960
Never say never.

295
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,960
I mean, that was a really special, right?

296
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,960
Special for some bond heads.

297
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,960
Yeah. And those would be it. You're right. Yeah.

298
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,960
So really it's like, it's like comedies by and large.

299
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,960
And then, you know, yeah.

300
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,960
And then this standing out as being both a comedy and an action

301
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,960
movie. But yeah, I don't know, man.

302
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,960
To the polarized collection.

303
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,960
Go on down to the polarized store and pick yourself up a copy of

304
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,960
Fear Loathing. We talk about just how much we love it the whole

305
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:50,960
time.

306
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:51,960
I know. Yeah.

307
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,960
I just mentioned, you were just like, oh my God, River this

308
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:55,960
part.

309
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,960
Right. Yeah. If you're looking, if that's the kind of day you're

310
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,960
having where you want to just hear people talk lovingly about a

311
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,960
thing, hey, let it, we're directing you to the, to the

312
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,960
episodes where that is the case.

313
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,960
And I think, I mean, for this one, I will, I will definitely

314
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:16,960
have criticisms and my fatigue on Michael Bay has had as much, I

315
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,960
don't know, has had almost more to do with me just changing my

316
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,960
taste in some movies, like as I've grown older and everything.

317
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,960
And some of it is just exhausting.

318
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,960
You know, like I watched, we, you and I, we watched ambulance

319
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,960
together and that is essentially, yeah, one long action movie.

320
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,960
And it is amazing for, you know, his, his willingness and

321
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,960
ability to do that. And I've heard some stories about that

322
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,960
movie of his gorilla, kind of filmmaking, so at this late in

323
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,960
his directing career and doing all these, you know, transformers

324
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:54,960
schlock.

325
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,960
He's like, you know, running around and getting certain shots

326
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,960
and just asking really quick on like police just on the streets

327
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,960
if he can shoot real quick.

328
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,960
And that's kind of stuff is admirable.

329
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,960
But man, the, the, the editing process of these movies is, is

330
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:10,960
rough.

331
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,960
I'm just strobe light.

332
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,960
Yeah, it's, it is, it's just rough sometimes, man.

333
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,960
Like I don't know how it's to put in.

334
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,960
It's good for like a daytime sort of thing.

335
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,960
Cause yeah, and you just let it play and kind of walk away for

336
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,960
a second and come back and you're talking about bad boys one

337
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,960
time and having some of that character stuff.

338
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,960
I can see where people would get off, like get off, get off

339
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,960
board for, for this one.

340
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,960
But the set pieces alone in this movie are breathtaking.

341
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,960
I know they're like amazing set piece after set piece, you know,

342
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,960
and you almost like don't even appreciate it for what it is

343
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,960
because it is so chopped up in the editing room and it is so

344
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,960
like stacked with other shit going on too, that it's, it's hard

345
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,960
to resonate some of the stuff he's thrown out there.

346
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,960
But his movies continue to be entertaining even though I haven't,

347
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:01,960
yeah, I've only seen the first transformers.

348
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,960
I don't know if I'm going to get on that train.

349
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,960
I know. Yeah. Same. Yeah. I just, that IP I don't really care

350
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,960
about. So there's no like that.

351
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,960
I don't like that.

352
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,960
I've looked at it for our podcast and it's like, no, they're all

353
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,960
kind of poopy, doopie, snoopy on the reading.

354
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,960
Not to say that dictates necessarily, obviously not.

355
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,960
If it's movies are going to keep going, but that franchise

356
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,960
is going to keep going and they're all like pretty back reviews

357
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,960
on all, like, I know, but they keep, yeah, I keep making them.

358
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:32,960
Yeah. Cause I mean, a quality of this movie for better or for

359
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,960
worse is it kind of feels like a, like you're getting so much

360
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,960
for your money. Yeah. You know what I mean?

361
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,960
I feel like he's looking at it like that too. He's just like,

362
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,960
no, I want them to walk out of the theater like, like, I got,

363
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:51,960
I got multiple car chases, multiple exploding houses.

364
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,960
Like I just, like we're on land, air, water.

365
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,960
We're filling up the Michael Bay bingo car.

366
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,960
And that's just the first, you know, cause yeah, I mean, to get in,

367
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,960
we did a Michael Bay movie on this podcast as well.

368
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,960
I mean, we talked about Armageddon and that's, you know, a lot,

369
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,960
probably a lot of people's favorites, but even that one's on

370
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,960
our podcast, a polarizing movie. I don't know if there's some people

371
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,960
that just don't, don't like, no, like, way more than Armageddon.

372
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,960
That's for sure. I'm sorry. Yeah. This is, if I had to choose

373
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,960
between the two, it's an easy decision for bad boys too. Cause Armageddon

374
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,960
is just so bogged down in the emotional stuff that Michael Bakes

375
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,960
sucks at. Yeah. It's like you want more of that, but then you see it

376
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,960
and then it's not done super well. I mean, the one that would be

377
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,960
possibly in contention, contention for me and I should watch

378
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,960
the rock again. I know a lot of, a lot of people like that.

379
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,960
And I know that I have seen it is, it is good, but I, I like pain

380
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,960
and gain quite a bit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I feel like I mentioned

381
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,960
this on Armageddon episode where that movie is about a bunch of

382
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:59,960
fucking idiots and dumb dumb. And it's in like a locale

383
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:02,960
similar to this, which I also want to say him shooting in like

384
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,960
a beachside town really works with like his cinematography

385
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,960
stylings and like the saturation and everything and like the

386
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,960
sweat glistening and like, so, you know, how bright everything,

387
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,960
like it just works and like Miami or pain and gain, I think is in

388
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,960
Miami, right? Or Florida. I think so. Yeah. But maybe LA, but

389
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,960
like it's either, it's either if Florida. But the thing I like

390
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,960
about that is like, there's like idiots that think they're cool.

391
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,960
Right. And he's like directing and showing that kind of be like

392
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,960
realizing you understand that within the story. There is some

393
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,960
subtext in that movie and like he makes it like, oh, they think

394
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,960
they're all the heroes in their own story and they're like,

395
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,960
when they're really just dumb, dumb, some subtext goes over

396
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,960
his head, I think even, and then that's where it becomes fun

397
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,960
to laugh at it like in a campy sort of way. But yeah, there's

398
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,960
certain other things where it's just like, oh, he thinks this

399
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,960
is really cool right here and you're just kind of like, I didn't

400
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,960
know. Kind of that's where it rubs me the wrong way a little

401
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,960
bit. But the thing that supersedes that is again, Will Smith

402
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,960
and Martin Lawrence together. Martin Lawrence. Holy fuck.

403
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,960
Anything like you put them together. Yeah. And it's oh my god.

404
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:19,960
They're so fucking fun together. Yeah. It's like, oh my god, it's

405
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,960
fun all the time. It is all yeah, I love their relationship.

406
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,960
I love their dynamic. I love their dialogue because you can

407
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,960
tell that Martin Lawrence is being a guy who's written for

408
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,960
shows, starred in shows like he is facilitating the

409
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,960
conversations that they're having and Will Smith is so tuned

410
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,960
into Martin Lawrence because I'm sure they've been friends

411
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,960
for a really long time or whatever. And yeah, their

412
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,960
relationship offscreen shows up on screen in a way that's like

413
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,960
magnetic. Yeah, like, God, these guys have this fun kind of

414
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,960
complicated relationship because a thing that's like.

415
00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,960
Starts to really get like almost to a fault. Make a point

416
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,960
of is how Martin Lawrence is like the the kind of the Danny

417
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,960
Glarker, like a hippie trying to guy. Oh, little bit.

418
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,960
You know, and that because like that's OK. So in the first

419
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,960
one, it's a little more of like he's like the realist is how

420
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,960
I would frame him in one. It's like he's a realist like he is

421
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,960
not wanting to just go in guns a blazing like he wants to,

422
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,960
you know, figure out how to do this and then Will Smith's

423
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,960
like, no, we need to just go in there because the guys right

424
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,960
there. Let's go get the fucking guy. And then, you know, that's

425
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,960
their dynamic. But in this, it's just like him and a lot of

426
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,960
just like doing the therapy stuff, which crops up with Joey

427
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,960
pants is like also on board with the therapy. I love him so much.

428
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,960
I love he's like, like, we just have a.

429
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,960
They're like perfect. Because a lot of and a lot of times he

430
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,960
in like in movies is the number two guy. I don't as I'm thinking

431
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,960
especially of the fugitive and what's the one of Wesley Snipes.

432
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,960
That's essentially the fugitive with the same cast, except

433
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,960
they're chasing Wesley Snipes and then wrongfully accused

434
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,960
that was, you know, he's always like the number two guy and

435
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,960
he's in Tommy Lee Jones. It's just like, yeah, I need this

436
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,960
and set a perimeter and he's just like, yeah, you got it. You got

437
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,960
it to see him as like the exasperated boss. And that's what

438
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,960
so funny is like all those nodes are filled for just for them to

439
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,960
have fun of like you guys, you know, here's, you know, like

440
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,960
the man is Joey pants, but he's just not even necessarily

441
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,960
he is mad, but he's more exasperated.

442
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,960
He's done with their bullshit. And for the way that like

443
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,960
massaging his ear lobes and being like after the they go into

444
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,960
his office and he's got like incense burning and shit. And

445
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,960
that's the through line for you for and for Martin Lawrence's

446
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,960
character too. And that's that's a fun comedic through line that

447
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,960
I think works pretty well as all the Woosa Woosa stuff. And

448
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:04,960
and it's, oh my God, it is like, see, seeing is there's

449
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:09,960
there's a tinge of, you know, a Boomer Michael Bay kind of

450
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,960
and his commentary on therapy and what he thinks of it and

451
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,960
and kind of being kind of pedantic and kind of looking down

452
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,960
on it on a little bit. It's a bit of a shit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

453
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,960
Yeah. But it's it's still a way you can like look at the

454
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,960
layers and they're very simple and kind of laugh at it and

455
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,960
however or enjoy the however way you want. But it's also yeah,

456
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,960
there's there's some stuff that I don't know that is very like

457
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:41,960
man boomer mentality like the woman, you know, the with with

458
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,960
big boobs that the that Martin Lawrence like goes into the

459
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,960
sheet with that's dead and commenting all that that's upsetting.

460
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,960
I'm glad you brought upsetting like I don't know we're kind of

461
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,960
jumping around right now, but there's just like no, there's

462
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,960
some like rose medics things that are played for laughs that

463
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,960
are like, ooh, like, yucky. That's where it reminds me like

464
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,960
boondock saints and shit like that, too, where there's just

465
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:10,960
like certain moments and movies like that that you you see that

466
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,960
that got it's an edge. It's that edge Lord like really shitty

467
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,960
mentality of like, you know, a naked chick is a naked chick, no

468
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,960
matter what like that ethos, right, is like just horned up

469
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,960
really. Yeah, non sensitive, non. Yeah, just it's it's shitty

470
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,960
that whole that was so unnerving to me that there was like

471
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,960
attention with the camera paid to him being under the sheet

472
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,960
with a dead body. Yeah, it was a woman that was naked. And

473
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,960
he's like the room smell like shit. And he's just like that

474
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,960
just the depravity of these characters disgusting. And, you

475
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,960
know, like he's saying like, oh, fuck you like but you guys

476
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,960
set this joke up for him to say fuck you and then there's a

477
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,960
close up on this dead woman's boot like fake like how long

478
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,960
and in this movie. But yeah, that's just like stuff like that

479
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,960
that has to be mentioned within the Michael Bay verse of how

480
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,960
he coordinates humor and things like that. And time. Yeah,

481
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,960
it's like a man. It's a manchild. Yeah, he has the

482
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,960
sensibilities of a manchild like to the point of the the

483
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,960
focusing on the corpse's tits being like it's that's what a

484
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,960
13 year old boy would would be like. Yeah, that's his

485
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,960
sensibility. Just commentating on people's physicality

486
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,960
regardless of age, you know, even the daughter and like

487
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,960
humor made of a child child being childhood obesity, you

488
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,960
know, like they're even making fun of that like saying like

489
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,960
enjoy though the perspective of the dad, the crime boss. I

490
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:46,960
was really into his like very rigid of like I think he's

491
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,960
like I think you're beautiful. This is and you shouldn't

492
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,960
want to be these models because they're the devil like you

493
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,960
should be this and then it's really fucking pissed at the

494
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,960
guy. The dead woman of those like it's why even just to set

495
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,960
that up for another character to be like, hey, that's wrong.

496
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,960
But it's like, I don't know. It just doesn't. Do you actually

497
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,960
think it's wrong? Right? Because you're you're spending the

498
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,960
time and attention to have that in like making a point of it.

499
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,960
Like do you even like? Yeah, right. It's like somebody with

500
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:20,960
a shitty sensibility being like pointing out like a moral

501
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,960
thing just to kind of like virtue signal like, see, I'm not

502
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,960
that bad. Like, you know, I can have fun with this or I can

503
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,960
kind of have you cake and eat it too because you have the

504
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,960
joke and you do have the community. It's played for laughs

505
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,960
and community. But then you have a character being like, hey,

506
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,960
hey, hey. But then there's even like even the thing of like

507
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,960
people falling out the back of the fucking van and then Joey

508
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,960
pants has to be like, hey, you got to you can't run over dead

509
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,960
fat people. Why do you have to see the fact Jesus?

510
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,960
Like come on, like, kick them all their day. Like their fucking

511
00:24:54,960 --> 00:25:00,960
organs got harvested and shit. Yeah, it's just weird weird

512
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,960
like undertones of things like that. I'm glad we're at least

513
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,960
mentioning but if we can mention, yeah, like some of the

514
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,960
bigger set pieces and maybe and it's a long movie to go through

515
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,960
all the yeah, but some of the big set pieces like the the

516
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:23,960
KKK with our cross burning fucking Michael, Michael Shannon

517
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,960
with fucking Michael Shannon. Yeah, Michael Shannon love that.

518
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,960
You know what? Before we like fully get into it and I guess

519
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,960
this is getting into it because there it's a drug boss that

520
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:39,960
has, you know, fucking what's his face from black flag?

521
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,960
Oh, fuck, what's Henry Rawlins? Oh, Henry Rawlins. Oh, yeah.

522
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,960
Michael Shannon drug bust with a KKK. You know what? I thought

523
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,960
it was really interesting is that the directed by Michael

524
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,960
Bay in the background is a burning cross.

525
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,960
If you're going to pick if you're going to pick for your name

526
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:04,960
to be on something like what a buzz like it's very

527
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,960
evocative obviously because it's a burning cross, right? Because

528
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,960
it has so much baggage and connotation to it. But like it's

529
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,960
again, just to kind of segue into talk about the sensibilities

530
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:21,960
of Michael Bay is like he's like regardless if that's racist,

531
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,960
it looks cool the way I'm shooting it. So I'm going to put

532
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,960
my name when that happens is really, really insane. But yeah,

533
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,960
I do. I do think that the using it as lighting in the scene, you

534
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:38,960
know, is effective. I can talk about lighting in this movie for

535
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,960
ages because it's so crazy how many times you can tell and like

536
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,960
why don't we just do a flashlight right in Henry Rawlins

537
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,960
face? I mean, I guess they do have flashlights because it's also

538
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,960
the sensibility of like, well, these are beautiful people and

539
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,960
we need to make sure that we can see all of them like regardless

540
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,960
of what they're doing. So it looks like shit. There's some

541
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,960
glory shots, dude. Oh my God, like they're out like on the

542
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,960
having that barbecue and Martin Lawrence's place like Will Smith

543
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,960
is having a conversation with that undercover cop sister of

544
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,960
Martin Lawrence and it's just a gorgeous fucking lighting where

545
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,960
you can see that somebody is like blasting a light on a like a

546
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,960
metal like or whatever those like reflective things and it's

547
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,960
like, you know, you can see the light on the back of the

548
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,960
face of the guy's face so you can clearly see Will Smith, because

549
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,960
yes, of course, he's an he's a great looking dude. And it's

550
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,960
just it's but it again, it's that weird sensibility of like

551
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,960
I'm doing this more so because he's a beautiful person and not

552
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,960
considering whether or not it's actually looks good in the

553
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,960
like whether like you can overcome it looking kind of shitty

554
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,960
from the movie standpoint, because you can clearly see Will

555
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,960
Smith and it is like a sort of experience for you very much

556
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,960
where you're like kind of watching a movie the whole time

557
00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:00,960
because it is so so put on for for show and then also yeah,

558
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,960
like the quick cuts and everything like you don't things

559
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,960
whatever part of the shot that might fuck up or something is

560
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,960
just quick move on to the next thing and then it's oh zoomed

561
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,960
into which slows down for the those glory shots of course and a

562
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,960
lot from like down low looking up at Will Smith doing some cool

563
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,960
fucking pose with usually like he does a lot of dual wielding

564
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,960
guns which looks pretty fucking badass when they pull off all

565
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,960
the robes and everything but just the speed of the edits and

566
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,960
then the and then when they do choose to slow down is is a

567
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,960
roller coaster ride and then already pretty you know disorienting

568
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:44,960
experience. But God, yeah, I find it so funny that ecstasy is

569
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,960
the drug in this movie. I thought so. It's like thinking like

570
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,960
KKK just having a plan rally or something.

571
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:51,960
And then it's rolling.

572
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,960
What the fuck?

573
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:58,960
It's speed obviously like why are but it to me it just like maybe

574
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,960
it's a it just seems like Michael Bay being like people have

575
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:09,960
done cocaine drug movies for ages. We got to do something cool

576
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:15,960
and different and young and ecstasy is that it is this new, you

577
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,960
know, especially in Miami is a place up. Yeah.

578
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,960
Maybe the club scene a huge club scene. Obviously. I mean God,

579
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,960
they have ultra which is one of the biggest music festivals

580
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,960
electronic music vessels. Yeah.

581
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,960
They show the one guy OD but yeah, it looks like they're just

582
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:30,960
eating them like candy.

583
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,960
I know. Could you imagine getting in that club because every and

584
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,960
then the how much they have to is like you see you see so sexy

585
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,960
ways where they're just like Peter Strowmire. Oh my God. Yes.

586
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,960
Peter Strowmire and it's just like fucking love.

587
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,960
Huge mountains of ecstasy.

588
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,960
And you're like none of these people know how this drug works.

589
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,960
You never need any of this.

590
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,960
Like you literally can have a like a gallon ziploc bag and you

591
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,960
could probably get away with the evening by and large for one

592
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,960
club at least. Yeah.

593
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:07,960
Like I don't fucking know.

594
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,960
Like sure people are going to the club and taking two pills in

595
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,960
a night or whatever like. Yeah.

596
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,960
Everybody in the club is getting your shit.

597
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,960
Like why do you know how much is I don't know.

598
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,960
I could see why they'd be upset about two bags when they make

599
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,960
the bus or just like oh we got two bags of ecstasy like who the

600
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,960
fuck. I mean like have you get them off the street.

601
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,960
You know all that stuff but it's like there's just so many

602
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,960
things that mean a lot more weight and money and and and

603
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,960
lives and and and addiction and everything.

604
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,960
It's just a different kind of different kind of different kind

605
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:40,960
of thing. But yeah.

606
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,960
Like the KKK rally and then there's like yeah we got our ecstasy.

607
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,960
We get weird.

608
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,960
It's just like a burning cross.

609
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,960
It's just a weird sort of image.

610
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,960
And then yeah like the one guy that could you imagine if they

611
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,960
were just like rolling and like still hating other minorities.

612
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,960
It's just like it seems like almost impossible.

613
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,960
Up on ecstasy just fucking rolling and just being like yeah we

614
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,960
still fucking hate those other people.

615
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:12,960
You'd be like no man.

616
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,960
Oh man I fucking love you.

617
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,960
You just roll up there like you know what we change our mind.

618
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,960
Everybody's cool.

619
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,960
It just oh god yeah I couldn't get over the ecstasy thing all

620
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,960
throughout the movie because it just it really to me seemed

621
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,960
like what is the flavor of the month rather than what actually

622
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,960
would actually make sense from like a drug dealing perspective.

623
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,960
You know obviously ecstasy is like a classified drug narcotic.

624
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:48,960
Like there are people peddling lots of it but it just weirdly

625
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:54,960
doesn't seem like this is how it would be like kind of yeah

626
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,960
transported and like how much and who would be doing it because

627
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:03,960
yeah it's just like people can be doing coke every single day.

628
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,960
I don't think anybody's maybe not anybody but very few people

629
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,960
are rolling like all the time for it to be one of those things

630
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,960
where you're like we need just like fucking pounds and pounds

631
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,960
of these pills for like I don't know like it just seemed like

632
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,960
they had enough pills for like months.

633
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:29,960
I guess you don't need a shipment for a while like I don't know

634
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,960
what else are you doing on top of this like the clubs must be

635
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:37,960
doing well like ecstasy is a front for your club because yeah

636
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,960
I don't know like it seems like you would do that on top of you

637
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,960
know cocaine or something cocaine for sure it would 100% be

638
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,960
cocaine like that's that's the one that's like yeah you can move

639
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,960
or there's some sort of undercurrent of like oh they've been cutting

640
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,960
the ecstasy pills with with this other shit because it's not

641
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,960
really good stuff and people are like overdosing because it's not

642
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,960
you know like and they're trying to take advantage of people or

643
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,960
something like like that could add some add some add some add some

644
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,960
teeth to it or something like that but now it's just it's just

645
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,960
sexy I mean it it's just really good ecstasy is what they kind of

646
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,960
say is like it's just like really powerful like because you're

647
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,960
set to I didn't I mean that that scene is it pays off and he

648
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,960
didn't die in OD or whatever I seem like he oh my god you know

649
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,960
what that scene made me just so we recently had talked about you

650
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,960
know fast 10 and how there's a scene with Han where he does the

651
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,960
drugs and then it just goes nowhere and I'm like and then I

652
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:39,960
watch this I'm like this is so fun to watch the payoff of like a

653
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,960
straight lace guy like accidentally ingest drugs that aren't

654
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,960
gonna kill him or anything but he's just like has to deal with

655
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,960
this trip or whatever yeah it was a blast like going over to

656
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,960
Joey pants place like him walking around you know him being

657
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,960
like oh I got my dick back and just being like pumped on that

658
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:01,960
shit was so funny that's great him like in the car too like

659
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,960
pulling up to Joey pants place he's like God what is this

660
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,960
oh yeah it is like supple leather oh my god it's supple

661
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,960
leather and then Will Smith reacting to all of Martin Lawrence's

662
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,960
shit on X he was so great because he just I don't know he

663
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,960
handled it oh shit oh shit and then he's just like sitting

664
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,960
next to the statue like showing his nipples and shit and

665
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,960
dripping and sweat and and Joey pants just like his his whole

666
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,960
deal is exasperated ignorant or just like tired like can't like

667
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,960
not attentive to what's going on around him just played for

668
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:43,960
laughs in a really in a way that worked within the

669
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,960
performances from a setup that you know maybe has been played

670
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,960
in a lot of different ways but I think that yeah again the

671
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,960
performances like that very much made it thinking of yeah like

672
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,960
Quailudes and Wolf of Wall Street or something like that

673
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,960
almost reminded me of that yeah it makes me think of like a

674
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:06,960
supple leather you know and then you like points and you like

675
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,960
tries to like bite you got to be normal or whatever

676
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:17,960
I love I just I love how naturally to and that and the

677
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,960
scene with him rolling is is an example of that it's like

678
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:26,960
Joey pants like is looking after him after that like when

679
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,960
they established that he's rolling they like take care of

680
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,960
him it isn't like a poison blow up yeah right like it isn't a

681
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,960
huge blow up it's like okay we're going to try to keep your

682
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,960
body cool and then send you on your way and then they never

683
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,960
talk about it again like it's just I love it like he's and

684
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,960
there's always that air about Joey pants with their with the

685
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,960
guys is that he is all like on the surface very frustrated

686
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:56,960
mad with him but he's like wants them to succeed and cares

687
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:02,960
about them as opposed to being just so doic and so like all

688
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,960
I care about is the results and they kind of skip the part where

689
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,960
like he's like hey man like you know CIA or whoever fucking

690
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,960
sister yeah or someone like yeah DEA is going to come in and

691
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,960
my they're up my ass about all this shit so you guys got

692
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,960
her like there isn't really that discussion until the end when

693
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,960
they have to do the raid on his place in in Cuba and all of

694
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,960
those other places like the Coast Guard and everyone is just

695
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,960
like we're here to help you and then like all the secret

696
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,960
service whatever it's like just like yeah we wanted to yeah

697
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,960
we're going to have just fucking rogue mission and when you

698
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,960
think there's going to be some sort of oversight and they're

699
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,960
just like yeah fuck these guys let's go get them and it's

700
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:49,960
such like a yeah fuck yeah America yeah fuck the Cubans man

701
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,960
and it just glorifies the police in a way to just unmix the

702
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,960
police like like how you know I mean put that emblazoned on

703
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,960
Will Smith's chest when he just looks like such a badass just

704
00:36:59,960 --> 00:37:02,960
all the time you know police under it just he's got so many

705
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,960
badass outfits in this movie too that like oh are awesome

706
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,960
that only that only he can pull off too because there there are

707
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:15,960
some outfits where he is the type of guy where I look at the

708
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,960
clothes that he's wearing and I go he looks incredible in it I

709
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,960
in no way could ever wear like if I were to come out in like a

710
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:28,960
purple suit you'd be like you look like a blueberry or whatever

711
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,960
no I'm just I'm serious like I get it like it's just it's not

712
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,960
like they're just there's a level of cool in which very like

713
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:41,960
gregarious outfits will work well on certain people and like I

714
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,960
can like I don't I don't mind getting gregarious in certain

715
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,960
places but like yeah some of his outfits and like holy fuck

716
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,960
like these are so cool on him and it just is like it just he

717
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,960
is such a crazy built-in cool factor that really just makes

718
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,960
this movie so fun because you're like everything he's doing

719
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,960
is cool and you're like I want to be you I want to like you

720
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,960
know I just I love what you're doing and all of that and it's

721
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,960
great I like it yeah primetime will Smith and yeah and Martin

722
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,960
Lawrence has some jerseys got the Lonzo morning jersey which

723
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:21,960
was fun and Michael victory which like is the time I know

724
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,960
like before all that shit but Michael coming back a little

725
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,960
bit like I think there's enough time between the dog fighting

726
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,960
stuff like he's like an announcer or something on shit I have

727
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,960
no idea I just remember that time like having like when I would

728
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,960
play a little bit of Madden here and there and people but just

729
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,960
like oh man Michael Vicks just broken in that game because you

730
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,960
just fucking yeah he's on the cover to that you don't have to

731
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,960
pass you just run I mean that's essentially who he was on the

732
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,960
field as well but that's my knowledge that's my extent of

733
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,960
my knowledge of football.

734
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:57,960
Downhill for him from there but anyways.

735
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,960
Where so set pieces.

736
00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:01,960
We got to talk about that car that's one of the best car

737
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,960
chases like in any movie ever like with all the fucking cars

738
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,960
just being thrown off that that trailer like that is one of

739
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,960
the coolest fucking things it's repeated with bodies later

740
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,960
because that was what he was feeling at that time for a set

741
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,960
piece but it works much better with cars and that that opening

742
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,960
scene is amazing and then one gets latched on to like a chain

743
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,960
as well and then it's like getting dragged and it looks like

744
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,960
better than the most recent fast 10 like we talked about that

745
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,960
movie there's yeah I don't know the cold open of that movie on

746
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,960
the you know we talked about how poopy kind of looks on the bridge

747
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,960
and everything even worse than what didn't fast five and this

748
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,960
movie just yeah like I my frustration with the editing

749
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,960
just lies with like I wanted to see that last a little bit

750
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,960
longer that shag that shot go a bit longer and when he does

751
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,960
he slows it down but regardless.

752
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,960
Yeah, when you think of it.

753
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,960
So the editing thing yeah it's really a point of contention

754
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:06,960
for something like this because there are so many shots that

755
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:12,960
are fucking way close on people for like a a scene like what is

756
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,960
happening there's so many moving parts in it but we are all

757
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:22,960
almost like not 80% of the time our POV is like in the car and

758
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,960
not just in the car but like up in somebody's shit like

759
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,960
right in their face and then it's editing between everybody's

760
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,960
like eyes and face and just like you know people saying cool

761
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:38,960
stuff and you know being like oh shit oh man whoa fuck go go go

762
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,960
but it's like yeah.

763
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:47,960
I need backup I need backup.

764
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,960
The sweeps that he does on cameras oh man so I loved it your

765
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,960
question I loved it I mean because it just like you might be

766
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,960
my favorite moment in the movie.

767
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,960
Because it lasts for a fucking long time to like it is like and

768
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,960
this and this and this and this and this.

769
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:10,960
Ramps up in a cool way yeah cars are flipping like 20 times yeah.

770
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,960
Blowing up running into each other blowing up falling off

771
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,960
bridges you know just oh yeah it's like multiple different

772
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,960
types of cars doing things like it's just absolutely incredible

773
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,960
and I think it would just like that scene goes down and like

774
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,960
almost movie history.

775
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:27,960
I agree.

776
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,960
Being like holy fuck I can't believe they did this and it looks

777
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,960
so cool that is the strength of Michael Bay like absolute prime

778
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:40,960
like prime Will Smith like just great car chase like that is

779
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,960
on my list as a favorite car chase is for sure.

780
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,960
Oh yeah for sure it almost seems like I'd like it would be in

781
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,960
a Nolan movie or something like that.

782
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,960
Yeah right concept of just like chucking cars and like

783
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:56,960
and sure yeah.

784
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,960
Just play it backwards.

785
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,960
Okay so from there what do we got.

786
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,960
Oh the Haitian thing.

787
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,960
Okay because I have some I have some words about this Haitian

788
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:10,960
like the like the shootout and the like the Haitian house or

789
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,960
whatever you know what I'm talking about.

790
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:13,960
Yes.

791
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,960
Okay so there's a camera.

792
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,960
Yeah let's talk about.

793
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:25,960
Straight up nauseous because it was moving so quickly.

794
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,960
So it just seemed like there's the camera is on it on the on a

795
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,960
track a circular track and then it's just to set people up who

796
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,960
haven't seen it in a while is like okay so bad guys on one

797
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:39,960
side of the of a wall.

798
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,960
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence on another side and then they're

799
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,960
shooting by and large between the wall in certain capacities

800
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,960
all pretty cool but then it gets to a point where it's like kind

801
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,960
of a bit of a standstill and then the camera is put on this

802
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,960
circular track that goes from one side of the wall to the other

803
00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:03,960
side of the wall like sweeping around and it just wraps up at

804
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,960
times where I'm like oh I'm getting like really like I'm

805
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,960
getting nauseous it was so crazy to see this everywhere is

806
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,960
like I don't like this is making me kind of sick because it

807
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,960
just yeah I was spinning the camera around in a circle so

808
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:19,960
quickly.

809
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,960
There's a way of doing that shot yeah and concept is cooler

810
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,960
maybe then in practice and maybe this is like the the matrix

811
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,960
is still kind of feeling its its effects here.

812
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,960
No it wasn't necessarily like slow mo but it was almost like

813
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,960
a table low a little bit yeah maybe because because he's doing

814
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,960
that like dual wielding cool wielding one on one side yeah

815
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,960
both out like that and Martin Lawrence is kind of behind them

816
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,960
just like and that's that's a good line too isn't the trailer

817
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,960
just like oh you want to talk like you can't talk because

818
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,960
they're shooting at you and all that all that shit and then

819
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,960
like the whole time I'm like are they going to shoot through

820
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,960
the wall and then he does and I was like satisfying of like

821
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,960
him like figuring that out of like looking through the mirror

822
00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:02,960
and like shooting through the holes I was like and then because

823
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,960
yeah cool you have that idea and then he gets the idea and

824
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,960
it's like oh yeah good I'm was worried that he wasn't going to

825
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:13,960
do that cool right there that is such a great thing to

826
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:18,960
articulate into of like a very satisfying thing a director in

827
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,960
a movie can do is that the main characters in a situation

828
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,960
and then in real time with you trying to figure out how you

829
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,960
would get out of it the character figures out how to get out

830
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,960
of it and when they succeed in it because obviously they're the

831
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:32,960
start of the movie so they're going to succeed in it like

832
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,960
it's just so fucking like rewarding and feel so good and

833
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,960
they're both kind of figure that out because he started the

834
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,960
other then he's kind of shooting through the holes first

835
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,960
he sees it and then the guy that puts his eyes through and

836
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:48,960
he caps him but then yeah there's that weird kind of dark humor

837
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,960
Martin Lawrence just like well let's ask this guy you know he's

838
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,960
fucking yeah it's just kind of like whoa this is this is dark

839
00:44:55,960 --> 00:45:01,960
I mean it's it's it's somehow it like kind of works but it just

840
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,960
puts you in a place as a viewer where you're like not really

841
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,960
sure how Michael Bay feels about it he thinks it's funnier than

842
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,960
it actually is rather than like oh yeah maybe this is this is

843
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:16,960
like this guy's life where they just deal with deal and death

844
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,960
so much that this just become humorous to them which is kind

845
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,960
of fucked up but true to their character maybe too I don't know

846
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:28,960
as placement I guess I don't know yeah I like there's a part of

847
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,960
it that I guess like I feel like what it's doing is that it's

848
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,960
giving Martin Lawrence is coming off as being like such a like

849
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:42,960
pacifist in this movie and when he get and I think the movie is

850
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,960
trying to do this thing where when he gets riled up he

851
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:50,960
overcomes his pacifism and like gets really like aggressive

852
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,960
and heated about that which could feel cool like him having a

853
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,960
win essentially to not like be so bogged down by his pacifism

854
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,960
and just being like yeah you know what that guy's fucking

855
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,960
dead you know and like really being aggressive and

856
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,960
he's like trying to keep everyone alive and it went to shit

857
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,960
and he's like fuck like just yeah that's right that's what I'm

858
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:13,960
saying yeah and he's trying to like get this guy this last

859
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,960
change like my buddy's about to catch like blow your head off

860
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,960
like you know you see how well it worked out for everyone else

861
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,960
but you saying yeah like a dead person doesn't talk a live

862
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,960
person doesn't talk and then they find the camera and then

863
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,960
like they had there's that whole scene in the video store where

864
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,960
they throw the porno on the let's talk about that such like Michael

865
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:36,960
Bay humor that is so dumb that is like that that scene

866
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:41,960
a moment not no points off the score for me because it sucks

867
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:46,960
so hard that's because first off like ultimately the culmination

868
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:53,960
of this is this bit where they're having a sensitive moment as

869
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,960
partners and as friends together and then every and then the

870
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:01,960
movie is making is like making fun of that as like that's gay

871
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,960
like having like a really hard to heart with your body.

872
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:09,960
Oh yeah the latter half of that yeah that and that's that's so lame

873
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,960
both of those scenes are so forced the first one you know just

874
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,960
for forcing that a porno to be up on the screen was just such

875
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,960
like oh what if that happened let's find out let's pigeonhole

876
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:22,960
and find out exactly but then the transition from that scene

877
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:27,960
into the next one was like gives you a head spin because

878
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,960
there's so much uproar over the porno and then it quickly dies down

879
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,960
and there's no background noise and it goes just to them with

880
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,960
very quiet like dulcet like background noise all of a sudden

881
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:40,960
like oh I thought a bunch of people were upset then all of a sudden

882
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:42,960
they're just quiet and then you're list with rapt attention

883
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,960
listening to everyone in the background when the owner was

884
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:46,960
just getting super pissed about changing the channel like

885
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,960
what's going on so it just it betrayed the logic of that they

886
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,960
just set up seconds earlier and then also what is this room

887
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,960
what is this room?

888
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,960
Yeah, this room.

889
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,960
I just check out our soundproof room where you can practice

890
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,960
or check out our new video cameras but yeah this is some

891
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,960
supple leather on those couches and just like what is what is

892
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:09,960
this room for?

893
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:11,960
Just like a confessional booth in the back.

894
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,960
Yeah, I mean that seems just from the jump doesn't work for me

895
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:19,960
because of the fact that no store clerk is ever going to

896
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:23,960
just immediately be like I'm going to attach a camera you

897
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,960
bring in to all of the TVs in the store that will never happen.

898
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:28,960
It would never happen.

899
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,960
It changed to the porno he tried to turn it off and hit the

900
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,960
button on accident to put it on every single screen which is

901
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,960
just such a goof but it's so forced.

902
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:43,960
Yeah, it's way too forced and then the button on them you know

903
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,960
the two guys having a sensitive conversation being gay and

904
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,960
that's inappropriate is so fucking so yeah I'm glad you brought

905
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:55,960
that up because yeah that whole bed just it sucks so hard.

906
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,960
It's where Michael Bay is like dumb shitty sensibilities

907
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,960
really comes out where he's just like oh my god this is going

908
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,960
to be so funny we got we have to do this it's in the fucking

909
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,960
movie we have to do this and it just sucks so hard.

910
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:11,960
And what does Will Smith say?

911
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:16,960
We were like we don't have to fully digest it but yeah it's

912
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:20,960
like it's because it shows two gay men commentating on it and

913
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,960
being like that poor man is pouring out his heart to him and

914
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:26,960
then Will Smith is like take all this shit put it in the box

915
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,960
and throw it in the ocean and they're like oh that poor like

916
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,960
he's not listening and then it's just like oh so you have to yeah

917
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,960
it implies that you have to be homosexual you have to be gay

918
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,960
in order to have feelings is essentially and be able to talk

919
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,960
with another man about your feelings and about something going

920
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,960
in your life like you have to essentially like that's a

921
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,960
little bit of a man.

922
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,960
Essentially fuck therapy a lot.

923
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,960
Fuck therapy yeah fuck therapy you know what men do is they

924
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:54,960
put all their emotions in a box throw it in the ocean don't

925
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:56,960
ever tell me this shit and it's like so.

926
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,960
That's how you get to Will Smith and cool fucking badass Will

927
00:49:59,960 --> 00:50:00,960
Smith.

928
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:05,960
Right and like I don't know I the problem is like if the movie

929
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:09,960
had a better sensibility or was smarter like you would rag on

930
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,960
Will Smith in that situation like he's the problem like Martin

931
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:17,960
Lawrence is just telling Will Smith his best friend an issue

932
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:19,960
he's having in his personal life.

933
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:24,960
Yeah like that's not unreasonable for a friend to like talk to

934
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:26,960
another friend about who especially they thought that they

935
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,960
were in you know private or whatever they were in a sound

936
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:33,960
booth I don't fuck again what is that room actually what's that

937
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:37,960
room about is that room in the video store watch this be so

938
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:42,960
mad I know fucking so weird that must have been a thing do you

939
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,960
remember any of those I feel like maybe there were those types

940
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,960
of rooms like at you know remember those stores that would

941
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,960
be a TV stores video store maybe yeah but I just I don't

942
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:54,960
understand it being enclosed in this it really want to show

943
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,960
off the audio fidelity of this video camera like right but

944
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,960
that's not what it was about yeah it was it was weirdly very

945
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:05,960
strangely set up the whole the whole it is sole purpose of

946
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:10,960
that room is for you to record yourself and like are you

947
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,960
going to send people that recording after they leave the

948
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:19,960
store like what's the deal? What is the goal there? Like

949
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,960
what do you get out of that you're like yeah okay and how

950
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,960
did you get a direct feed into that room did they hit a camera

951
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,960
button like inside there like because it was switched to the

952
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:33,960
that other camera there's that was broken well you switch to

953
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,960
a camera in that room why the dad came over to stop it why

954
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,960
does he not know how to work the system as well did he

955
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:42,960
accidentally switch it to that video like what what is

956
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:46,960
happening you're forcing this joke down our throat that's not

957
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:50,960
even funny yeah exactly yeah so probably the lowest part of

958
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,960
the movie is what we just discussed I would easily say

959
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,960
the worst part of the movie it's just like a big on like a yeah

960
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,960
you know pretty pretty good like a Will Smith mug yeah

961
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:04,960
yeah wow look at Will Smith he's such a bad he looks okay

962
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,960
what is oh just a bad bad hair day or some bad no he's just

963
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:13,960
an emotionally stunted like homophobic dude yeah uh oh

964
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:20,960
oops anyways just like how that seems sucks a life out of me

965
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:24,960
a little bit almost like their dynamic almost is kind of close

966
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,960
so when I think of like lethal weapon where like Mel Gibson

967
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:31,960
is kind of kind of hot shot sort of attractive like single

968
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,960
sort of dude that doesn't you know that is a little bit more

969
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,960
just destructive or doesn't have as much love and Danny Glover

970
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:43,960
is family man and a little sensitive more considerate yeah

971
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,960
has a wife that he loves and understands which is like yeah

972
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,960
I mean I remember Mel Gibson like giving him that much shit for

973
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,960
that I just remember it just just him trying to push him more

974
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,960
to like do more totally I mean maybe we're like there's a lot

975
00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:59,960
of Danny Glover giving Mel Gibson they're giving but they're

976
00:52:59,960 --> 00:53:02,960
both giving each other shit I'm sure I don't think there's ever

977
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,960
been a time in lethal weapon where Mel Gibson's like you're

978
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:10,960
being a homo for like right liking maybe I don't know liking

979
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,960
something that is like sensitive or you know emotional or

980
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,960
whatever I don't I don't remember that ever happening and

981
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,960
it's definitely what just happened in this movie is just

982
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:24,960
like you're like homo and very derogatory about it if you are

983
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:28,960
talking to your friend about your yeah essentially like his

984
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:30,960
sex life with his wife where he's having a hard time getting

985
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:34,960
out because he's just scared and guess who's fault that is

986
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,960
guess who's fault that is he's like this is directly and he's

987
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,960
like I don't want to fucking talk about it he's like you're the

988
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,960
one who shot me in the eyes which was that was kind of a funny

989
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,960
slo mo or just you see the bullet like it was such a cool

990
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:53,960
slow mo dude. It follows the bullet like all the way to the guy

991
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,960
it was like all of that slo mo which must have cost a shitload

992
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:01,960
of money all for an ass shot. That's gotta be funny to know

993
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:05,960
we're like we're spending so much for an ass shot.

994
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,960
Can we take a look at how many people were just like it's not

995
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,960
even a big deal and he's just making such a huge deal about it

996
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:17,960
and just being like I've been shot I'm dying I'm dying and

997
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,960
then everybody's like not even a big deal but yeah and they

998
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:25,960
have like and figure it out yeah it's like you shot he's like

999
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,960
what I mean I was shooting but they're back and forth with

1000
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,960
I'm gonna take a bathroom break and let's take a break we'll be

1001
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:40,960
right back. We are back. Yes. I was trying to think of like

1002
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:44,960
you know besides conflict there's the conflict with

1003
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:48,960
our main villain and then the only conflict really between them

1004
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:54,960
has to do with the little you know love interest Gabrielle Union

1005
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:58,960
is she in the first one it's been it's been a while.

1006
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,960
No she's not she's not she plays she plays Martin Lawrence's

1007
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:07,960
and sister will Smith's love interest and then you know that's

1008
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:12,960
where it kind of tiff that happens near the beginning of the

1009
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:16,960
third act with the last two big big fucking set pieces that

1010
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:21,960
just keep this movie going another half hour to 45 minutes

1011
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:27,960
but her involvement also is as you know a mole and someone

1012
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:32,960
who's trying to infiltrate and essentially front as someone

1013
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,960
who's taking care of their money laundering issues that they're

1014
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:43,960
having the lead antagonist bad guy and yeah that that whole

1015
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,960
involvement and keeping everything it seems like in house

1016
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:53,960
with all like the small cast of characters it works fine I think

1017
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:58,960
and I think she is just so great and like to include her within

1018
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,960
how great all the chemistry is between Will Smith and Martin Lawrence

1019
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:05,960
she's definitely included within that because there's scenes with

1020
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,960
you know with with her and will Smith her and Martin Lawrence

1021
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:12,960
and then all of them together that just works well within that

1022
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:16,960
kind of awkward funny dynamic of that whole kind of thing that

1023
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,960
could come off as like a little more contrived and kind of like

1024
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:24,960
a trope of you know having you know the that's a lot of states

1025
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,960
and everything too but yeah and her her standing on her own

1026
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,960
and actually being involved and being able to you know tell them

1027
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,960
to stand back while she's trying to get shit done they're

1028
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,960
kind of mucking it up as well I think that adds a nice dynamic

1029
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:43,960
to her that's not just those things I mentioned as far as being

1030
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,960
you know love interest in brothers she's also a big part of

1031
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:51,960
the story otherwise as well and yeah I mean and it's I just

1032
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,960
think it's cool that she's with Dwayne Wade I think that's a

1033
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:58,960
fun little fun little thing oh fun oh wow I don't know

1034
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:03,960
for you know Miami and he just got inducted into the Hall of

1035
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:10,960
Fame recently so congrats to him yeah yeah he's great great player

1036
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,960
yeah and we're in the lawns and morning jersey and all that stuff

1037
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:18,960
with her right there oh that's that's fun yeah anything anything

1038
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,960
about that and you like the do you like the villain I like that actor

1039
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:25,960
as well that you know and he drops like the other dude Peter

1040
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:29,960
Stormair's buddies like body and a barrel right next to him that

1041
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,960
scene was like pretty intense there's a good amount of like dark

1042
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,960
like grizzly shit for in this Michael Bay movie which he's kind

1043
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:40,960
of a master of PG 13 movies and like PG 13 action movies I feel

1044
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:45,960
like he's really good at keeping keeping the action and a PG

1045
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:49,960
13 rating and the things that he does choose to push it into

1046
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:53,960
that our section is interesting you know obviously just you

1047
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:57,960
know just having having a lot of you know topless women is

1048
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:02,960
going to be one one thing but then also yeah just like body parts

1049
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,960
just getting blown up you know like those guys that and it's

1050
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:09,960
such a stupid they like oh what is this weird like toy that came

1051
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:13,960
up to visit us and we're playing soccer oh what is this oh let's

1052
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:17,960
play with it and they just blow some this is just some of that's

1053
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:21,960
all this sort of setup stuff is just such a it's such a movie

1054
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:25,960
movie where yeah again you know you're watching a movie with some

1055
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:27,960
of this stuff because it's just you gotta throw a logic out of

1056
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:30,960
the window a little bit and things move so fast that you

1057
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:34,960
can't you can't resonate with with a lot but what did you what

1058
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,960
did you think about yeah the whole the whole antagonist plot

1059
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:43,960
and him and and the the drugs to in in caskets to Cuba and

1060
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:48,960
whatnot yeah I thought it was really interesting the like so

1061
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:54,960
a lot of the time spent with the main villain it's like family

1062
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:59,960
stuff it's I don't know there's there you get a sense that he

1063
00:58:59,960 --> 00:59:04,960
is wanting to prove himself and it isn't so much about like

1064
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:09,960
being totally like evil and bad like stereotypical that I

1065
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:11,960
think there's a little bit more depth and a little bit more

1066
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:16,960
time paid in the movie to like show his frustrations show

1067
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:23,960
like the you know how he wants to be this main player because

1068
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:30,960
of like a sense of like not honor but you know bringing you

1069
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:34,960
know bringing value to his family and I think there's a you

1070
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,960
know with the stuff that the scenes with his daughter and

1071
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,960
just the stuff at his house and his and the villain's mother

1072
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:45,960
and all of that I just yeah I don't know it it seemed like

1073
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:50,960
seemed unique I dug it I guess so like at the same time he is

1074
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:55,960
trying to take more control but also leave to guess is

1075
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:59,960
interesting where he's like right sign very like broad

1076
00:59:59,960 --> 01:00:02,960
sort of just like set over control for everything is like

1077
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,960
kind of what he's just like control of everything don't

1078
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,960
worry about it I get all the clothes all the clubs are mine

1079
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,960
and it's just like one document just like boom your buddy's

1080
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:19,960
in a barrel yeah document that doesn't yeah that's how that

1081
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:23,960
works Peter sign this paper Peter Strowmare going out is a

1082
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:25,960
little anticlimactic but it's cool that he does get a like a

1083
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:29,960
little bit of like a last final like oh fuck you and he just

1084
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:33,960
shows up drunk and then just get shot down I mean it's kind

1085
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:35,960
of funny just crashes his car drunk to the whole thing and

1086
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:39,960
that's just like oh it's more chaos into this into this moment

1087
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:44,960
but yeah that's and then he seems kind of just strung out

1088
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:48,960
the whole movie I guess I mean I could see it just being just

1089
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,960
exhaustion from staying up all night looking over your shoulder

1090
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,960
eyes and all that stuff but in his yeah he just looks like

1091
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:59,960
is he just doing ecstasy in a different way than he almost

1092
01:00:59,960 --> 01:01:05,960
had it again it's just so weird that ecstasy is the drug that

1093
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,960
you don't see he's not like sitting there scarface so

1094
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:12,960
yeah I don't know he's he's got the biggest glass of was it

1095
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,960
Brandy oh yeah that's not why that's Brandy or that's a

1096
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,960
fucking Brandy glass I was essentially have a bottle I'm

1097
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:23,960
sure how big that glass was and I'm glad they got a picture of

1098
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:28,960
him taking a sip because it was just like and then Peter

1099
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,960
Storm air like grabs the paper and spills some of his because

1100
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:36,960
it's like yeah what are you gonna do top heavy glass and then

1101
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:38,960
he's just talking shit on the house all time and about how

1102
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,960
his house is gonna be perfect and if we're getting like near the

1103
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:46,960
end of this movie I'd say the one thing is like I take some

1104
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:50,960
qualms with the fact that there's like just two big fucking

1105
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:53,960
set pieces one after the other which kind of rival each other

1106
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:59,960
in a very similar way one they're going in as a raid to just

1107
01:01:59,960 --> 01:02:03,960
you know but like a drug bust essentially and get the guys

1108
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:08,960
second one is to save you know someone who's who's kidnapped

1109
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:12,960
but both of them essentially accomplish the same thing and I'm

1110
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,960
just I just really question in a two and a half hour action

1111
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:20,960
movie of combining the best elements of those two two things

1112
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:24,960
into one and whatever if he kidnaps or have him kidnap her

1113
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:26,960
earlier in the movie and then have it just revolve around

1114
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,960
both of those things but having that whole drug bust thing and

1115
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:32,960
then have him get away to Cuba and they gotta it's two hours

1116
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:36,960
and then they gotta go to fucking Cuba I was like wow and it

1117
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:39,960
does blow my mind just how quick Michael Bay does this we're

1118
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:41,960
just Joey pants and the Coast Guard and everyone comes in

1119
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,960
we're like yeah we're gonna fucking do it no question like

1120
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:47,960
this is the gonna be the quickest like hostage situation ever

1121
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:49,960
that we're ever gonna we're going under all the red tape

1122
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:52,960
like yellow tape whatever like it's it's all good we're gonna

1123
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,960
figure it out and they do and they go on this mission and

1124
01:02:55,960 --> 01:03:00,960
it's just a whole another raid and and bus and and and they

1125
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:04,960
save the day and and they and save just completely blow up

1126
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:09,960
his mansion in Cuba my god I'm just so curious what it is

1127
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:11,960
that just an actual man explosion they're just allowed to

1128
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,960
just blow shit up there I don't know that's a good question

1129
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:19,960
yeah I don't it seems almost like a set like a hastily but

1130
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,960
it does also seem like a house I don't know and there's a lot

1131
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,960
of rocket launchers the effects are like spot on but it's

1132
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:31,960
cool to see just like people just like pull out of like those

1133
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:35,960
guys pop out of the ground and they just like that's the

1134
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:39,960
fucking inaction movie that's just as a as a Michael Bay it

1135
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:41,960
just strikes me as a young boy because as a young boy just

1136
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:45,960
be like fuck they got rocket launchers cool right

1137
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:50,960
absolutely God and it's fun to see on screen I mean yeah

1138
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:54,960
just this whole movie cranks along and there's not too much

1139
01:03:54,960 --> 01:04:00,960
of the slow down stuff that yeah I don't know it's fun it's a

1140
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:04,960
fun movie man it's a really good movie yeah I in a lot of

1141
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:12,960
ways it's a it's a representation of you know someone

1142
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,960
I in my mind people not saying no to Michael Bay and there

1143
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:19,960
and that would be my criticisms and it shows or I think my

1144
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:23,960
overall feelings towards Michael Bay has kind of changed as

1145
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,960
my life has gone on a better understanding but also like

1146
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,960
subjectively and better understanding of my taste in

1147
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:35,960
movies and it's it's a hard thing to decipher exactly

1148
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,960
which where you know where the line is drawn and everything

1149
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,960
but I think more and more of these movies are kind of

1150
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:46,960
exhausting but just absolutely breathtaking set pieces and

1151
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:52,960
action and the chemistry between all the leads is one of the

1152
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,960
more memorable buddy cop movies you could fucking get for

1153
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,960
great for the bargain and the money is all on the screen

1154
01:04:59,960 --> 01:05:02,960
it looks you know like these these again that car chase is

1155
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:07,960
fucking nuts and you could be like which one you know sure

1156
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:13,960
yeah but which mansion which yeah which explosion all of that

1157
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:17,960
mm-hmm there it's there this movie is yeah over stuffed with

1158
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:23,960
yeah yeah that's all the things yeah and more let's get into

1159
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:31,960
some reviews again this is a movie from 2003 is a 23% from

1160
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:35,960
critics a 78% from audience let's check out some critic reviews

1161
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:40,960
first and see why they were so poopy doopie snoopy it says

1162
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:43,960
zero from Peter Travers on Rolling Stone so let's start in

1163
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:49,960
the bottom oh wow Peter and he he is harsh literally says

1164
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:54,960
what we just said but he he gives it a bad bad rating because

1165
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:58,960
it goes a different direction zero from Peter Travers he says

1166
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:05,960
bad boys to has everything everything loud dumb violent

1167
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:10,960
sexist racist misogynistic and homophobic that producer Jerry

1168
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:14,960
Brackheimer and director Michael Bacon think of puking up on

1169
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:21,960
the screen. No spank you thank you from TV Guide magazine

1170
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:26,960
Matlin McDonough 20 there's at least one ending too many Union

1171
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,960
regularly vanishes for long stretches is the movie and director

1172
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,960
Michael Bay's unmitigated pandering to viewers who whoop with

1173
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:36,960
Glee whenever someone gets it between the eyes is genuinely

1174
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:42,960
distasteful. Yeah, it's the distaste thing that's just

1175
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,960
like I feel like keep cropping up where you're like oh yeah the

1176
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:48,960
way that they treat dead bodies the way that they treat you

1177
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:52,960
know I don't know yeah a bunch of different like groups of

1178
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:56,960
people very poorly yeah like yeah they're all like casualties

1179
01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:01,960
in the yeah they're all just like in the crossfire casualties of

1180
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:07,960
this go go go exploding movie yeah like USA Today My Clark 38

1181
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:12,960
says appallingly mean spirited. Oh interesting yeah that's

1182
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:14,960
something that we've talked about that's funny that neither

1183
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:17,960
that we didn't have we're overlooking that or at least I am

1184
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,960
that is interesting okay that is a criticism that we love me

1185
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:26,960
against movies a lot especially comedy comedies and maybe even

1186
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,960
horror movies to an extent you know using people as as fodder

1187
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:36,960
in ways. Yeah, he's definitely guilty of it and I just there's

1188
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,960
there's certain things of this that just rise above all the

1189
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:43,960
all the other bullshit that is totally a lot of movies and even

1190
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:47,960
something like I remember seeing six underground and like

1191
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:50,960
being like this is a bad movie but somehow like I just sat and

1192
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,960
watched all of it and it was like really dumb and entertaining

1193
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,960
at the same time and bad I don't know it's just it's all it's

1194
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,960
all of those things like somehow it just keeps you keeps you in

1195
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:05,960
there. No this movie is much better. I'll do maybe one more

1196
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:11,960
from let's do the globe and mail from Rick grown. Smith and

1197
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:14,960
Lawrence and gave it a 38 Smith and Lawrence enjoyed some

1198
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:17,960
amusing chemistry in the 95 original but their molecules

1199
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:21,960
sure aren't jibing here. It's a full hour into this behemoth

1200
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:25,960
before there's anything resembling a belly laugh.

1201
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:29,960
Rick really looking for those belly laughs. They laughs. Yeah,

1202
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:33,960
give me a belly laugh for you don't get a good rating. I'm Rick

1203
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:38,960
Rick. Rick. Rick. And I grown occasionally as well. Let's check

1204
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:45,960
out some positive reviews from audience members. I have two

1205
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:48,960
here from FlubberTuberTube and fuck the police that both say

1206
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:56,960
epic just one word epic. 10 out of 10. This is a 10 out of 10

1207
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,960
from magnesium do possibly one of the worst movies ever but

1208
01:08:59,960 --> 01:09:01,960
it is funny as hell and everyone party people of nervous

1209
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:04,960
dispositions should watch this probably not worth buying but

1210
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:11,960
one of the best worst films of all time. Wow. Okay. Yeah.

1211
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:15,960
From Oswald Ferrera a 10 out of 10. One of the funniest most

1212
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,960
energetic buddy action films out there bad boys to is certainly

1213
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:22,960
cliched but damn is it satisfying to watch the action

1214
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:25,960
scenes are like controlled chaos the cast is a solid job.

1215
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,960
The plot is actually comprehensible unlike most action

1216
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,960
films today. If you still nurture that part of you that

1217
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:37,960
likes to see ass kickings shootouts explosions crashes hot

1218
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:41,960
women etc. Then you'll have a hard time finding anything much

1219
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:46,960
better than this. Wow. Seven out of 49 users found that

1220
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:52,960
helpful 42 people did not find that helpful. There's so many

1221
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,960
of these that just say epic. There's just like yeah one word

1222
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:59,960
epic epic epic from from a lot of people and I feel like

1223
01:09:59,960 --> 01:10:03,960
that's like a one word copypasta that's forming and I love it.

1224
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:07,960
The Godfather's son gave it a 10. It's been almost 12 years

1225
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:10,960
since bad boys to hit theaters and blew my mind. This was

1226
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:13,960
written in 2015. I don't even remember the noisy first movie.

1227
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:15,960
I just didn't like it that much even though it has higher

1228
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,960
ratings bad boys to completely changes the game by throwing

1229
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:23,960
in more drugs sex and stupendously bloody violence and boy was

1230
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,960
it was it entertaining. Michael Bay is one of the most

1231
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:30,960
dislike directors. Okay. But with BB to he totally has

1232
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:34,960
realized a new genre of action thrillers on their own. For

1233
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:38,960
example, the car chases are the most best chases I've ever

1234
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:42,960
seen in movie most best. He blends lethal weapon and boys

1235
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,960
into hood and pineapple expressed together and

1236
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:48,960
experiments with his movie elements. The result is a lush

1237
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:51,960
Miami setting. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence at their

1238
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:57,960
comedic best a drug field story car and gun chases in sexy

1239
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:02,960
women. It's car and gun chases Jesus and sexy women's gun

1240
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:08,960
chases. What more could you do? The guns chasing.

1241
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:13,960
The God's gonna get me. What more could you want from

1242
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:16,960
action movie? It's not a movie for serious critics or people

1243
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:19,960
don't like action movies. BB to is a hidden classic action

1244
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:24,960
flick. It's well. Yeah. Smiley rim and brilliantly acted.

1245
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:27,960
The appeal is beautiful and it still technically holds up

1246
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:31,960
in 2015. I hope the third one is good. The nose fun you will

1247
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:34,960
have watching a movie period. I must be most fun. The nose

1248
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:38,960
fun. I was gonna say, well, you could have some nose fun

1249
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:43,960
with this movie and probably enjoy it. No, this is the

1250
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:48,960
next to see movie Brandon. Oh, yes, right. Sorry. Yeah,

1251
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,960
well, some feelings. I mean, for the for the critics as to

1252
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:56,960
why they didn't like it. Yeah, I mean, it's the Peter

1253
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:00,960
Travers. He's always a fun one to bring up and it seemed like

1254
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:03,960
you really didn't like the sensibility of Michael Bay at

1255
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,960
this point and a lot of you know, even the things that we

1256
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:10,960
criticize and yeah, I don't know. So somehow it's just maybe

1257
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:13,960
because we've grown up with these movies a bit more but able

1258
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:16,960
to like overlook some of those things and and for the higher

1259
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:22,960
purpose of a fun action movie, the idea that I mean, maybe

1260
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:26,960
this is this is this isn't full cop out, but these characters

1261
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:29,960
not being Boy Scouts, you know, especially the bad guys and

1262
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:33,960
you know, police officers that are you know, flying like

1263
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:36,960
fucking shit up in the face of the law and going thing by

1264
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:38,960
the you know, their own rules and everything. It's like,

1265
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:41,960
there's gonna be some, you know, gray area there and there's

1266
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:43,960
gonna be some shit that's not so savory and that almost

1267
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,960
kind of works. Yeah, again, for the characters and at this

1268
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,960
at this time and the sensibilities may not reach

1269
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:54,960
everybody but it it never really was made for the critics.

1270
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:58,960
It was it's a it's a block-borne blockbuster movie. We come

1271
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:02,960
around this point a lot as far as you know, especially this,

1272
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:05,960
you know, this time of year we've been doing this as well.

1273
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:09,960
This is part of extensively is a series of doing these

1274
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:14,960
blockbuster movies and this is, you know, a great use case of

1275
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:18,960
you know, it's understandable why the critics don't like it,

1276
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:22,960
but there is I yeah, I think if you're going to a movie to

1277
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:26,960
be thrilled and entertain, there's a lot of stuff in here

1278
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,960
that doesn't require dialogue. It just requires shooting

1279
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:32,960
things that are not just shooting it from a director or

1280
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:35,960
standpoint, but shooting it with a gun standpoint that is

1281
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:39,960
very thrilling and is something that is fun to go see,

1282
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:41,960
especially when the weather's hot and the theaters are cool,

1283
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,960
like, you know, you want to just see, yeah, I don't know,

1284
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:47,960
people get into some shit that's really wild and crazy with

1285
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:51,960
bazookas and exploding houses and like car chases and all of

1286
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:56,960
that. And then yeah, very fun. There's some excellent action

1287
01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:59,960
and yeah, if if I can just roll into my review, I'd say

1288
01:13:59,960 --> 01:14:03,960
some of my qualms would probably be, you know, that like I said,

1289
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:07,960
the editing is something that watching Michael Bay movies at

1290
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:10,960
this point in my life, I feel like I do have to be in the right

1291
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:16,960
kind of mood after seeing like things progressing away from

1292
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,960
this even with the born movies and whatnot to the point where

1293
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:24,960
like editing and quick cuts got, you know, untenable and action

1294
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,960
movies to the point where it was just it was too much and too

1295
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:30,960
quick and too shaky cam and all that stuff and this kind of

1296
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:34,960
has the writing on the wall and this movie for what's to come.

1297
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:38,960
And that's a movie that has Liam Neese. Is it like that's

1298
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:42,960
like taken to your four while I think it's like where there's

1299
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:45,960
like what is it? It's like 19 cuts for just him jumping over

1300
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:49,960
a fence. Yeah, that kind of stuff. Yeah, you show me that clip

1301
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:51,960
a while back and that's that's exactly what I'm talking about

1302
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:55,960
is like where that's that's what that's leading to.

1303
01:14:55,960 --> 01:15:00,960
And in Michael Michael Bay has been doing this for a long time.

1304
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:04,960
But I just in the same way that this is maximalist in a lot of

1305
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:08,960
good ways like I like that this is a big big movie with a lot of

1306
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:14,960
set pieces. And somebody that is having fun and doing what they

1307
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:18,960
want. But yeah, it definitely has consuit as well where I think

1308
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:21,960
they could have wrapped those two set pieces together. Like I

1309
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:23,960
just said they're like a lot of them but still like, you can

1310
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:26,960
find a way to put them together at the end. I didn't mention

1311
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:29,960
that fucking Hummer going down and just blasting through all

1312
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:34,960
those favelas and like, oh my god, that shit was amazing like

1313
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:38,960
that. I know it just looks it looks good. Like he was really

1314
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:41,960
crashing into stuff again all these fast and furious movies

1315
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:44,960
like he's going down a dam and it you know it's a crazy idea

1316
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:47,960
and conceptually and everything but just looks doesn't look real

1317
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:49,960
and then Michael Bay it's like I just want him to hold on some

1318
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:51,960
of those shots but still it just looks so cool seeing that

1319
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:56,960
cards blast down that hill. But anyways, yeah, those those

1320
01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:59,960
tighten some of those things up and like consolidated a bit

1321
01:15:59,960 --> 01:16:04,960
and and let me see some some more hold hold on those shots a

1322
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:08,960
little bit more. You know, yeah, definitely the sensibility of

1323
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:10,960
Michael Bay is something I'm always going to have qualms with

1324
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:13,960
and qualms with and there's always going to be now it's

1325
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:15,960
never going to be a perfect score for him because the guy

1326
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:21,960
just definitely not is not ever going to get get it completely

1327
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:23,960
right for me. I don't think ever and that's that's just like

1328
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:27,960
no fault of his own few few people do and you know anybody for

1329
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:31,960
finding like a perfect movie or anything but as good this is

1330
01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:35,960
really like as good as it kind of gets for him and in a lot of

1331
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:39,960
ways and the reasons I do like pain and gain as as well kind of

1332
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:42,960
come out in this one but I think the cast is is better in this

1333
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:48,960
one. Even then, then pain and gain, you know, and it does come

1334
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:52,960
across as cool still like Will Smith is so like just looks so

1335
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:55,960
fucking cool and they're yeah, I can't mention enough them

1336
01:16:55,960 --> 01:17:00,960
together is gold casting it's it's Will Smith and Michael

1337
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:04,960
Bay together work as an action duo at this time and both of

1338
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:08,960
their careers it just it's electric what's on screen and so

1339
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:11,960
it's it's going to get a positive review for me from me. I'm

1340
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:17,960
I'm feeling a 72 like a a nice 70 70 range is feels feels right

1341
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:21,960
for it. I feel like that's positive and I think there's

1342
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:26,960
enough in this movie that I do have criticisms of that I wouldn't

1343
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:30,960
you know push it too far past that but I would recommend it

1344
01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:34,960
for sure for a for an action movie if you got two and a half

1345
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:40,960
hours to to get into something but it's a yeah it's a fun action

1346
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:46,960
movie for sure. Yeah. Okay, yeah. I guess I can look at my

1347
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:49,960
notes real quick before you move on. Let me see if there's any

1348
01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:54,960
fun quotes. I'm sorry. I just cut you off and keep the oh I

1349
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:58,960
think I just done got mad. Jesus fuck. I like that one. I've

1350
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:02,960
been using that one since I watched it. This some sick shit.

1351
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:08,960
It's about to get sicker. Yeah, that one puckered up my butthole.

1352
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:11,960
I'm not a forward facing middle finger to some guys as you

1353
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:13,960
walk and pass like those two guys that like always give them

1354
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:16,960
shit in the office and everything like facing a little finger.

1355
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:20,960
If that makes sense like the hands facing forward. Why don't

1356
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:26,960
you exercise your right to shut the fuck up? X man they keep

1357
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:29,960
on calling them the X man which I just thought was just funny

1358
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:33,960
it's like dealing X to see and just like yeah that X man.

1359
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:38,960
It's just Wolverine just dealing X to see them be great.

1360
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:42,960
I've spinning shot during standoff of course. What is this

1361
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:48,960
video camera room? Yeah. Okay. Oh yes the rats fucking.

1362
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:52,960
Yeah, just had to mention that real quick. I think the line

1363
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:56,960
they fuck like us is pretty great and the fact that they had

1364
01:18:56,960 --> 01:18:58,960
to get like animatronic they look like animatronic or

1365
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:02,960
puppet puppeteered mice to like go missionary style and

1366
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:06,960
it's such a weird little boy six sense of humor. I don't

1367
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:09,960
like edge the word. Yeah, for sure. But they fuck like us.

1368
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:14,960
I think is a great great line. Yeah, the finger with the

1369
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,960
jokes. He's got his finger like hanging out like in the office.

1370
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:19,960
He's like, hey, get me a print on this. I'm like, that's a

1371
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:23,960
human being's finger. Jesus fucking Christ. And the one guy

1372
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:26,960
is like, can you teach me how to shoot people asks him when

1373
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:29,960
he's like walking away at one point? He's just a weird like

1374
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:33,960
hey, can you teach like show me how to be essentially and

1375
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:37,960
then Dan Marino shows up for a second hand to mention him.

1376
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:41,960
He's asking how the S would know it's not as good as a cat.

1377
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:44,960
It's a cat. It makes me think your matrix reloaded really

1378
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:47,960
draw that same car and then I would love this another great

1379
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:53,960
fucking car chasing with that car. The cat like at the time.

1380
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:58,960
Yeah, cinematography works for Miami. That boy bit me in the

1381
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:04,960
train scene to do and then that whole thing where they like

1382
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:08,960
grill the guy who's trying to take out the daughter, right?

1383
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:11,960
That's I think that's a great scene where like Martin Lawrence

1384
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:15,960
answers the door. He's like you like in these grilling the guy

1385
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:17,960
who's trying to take his daughter out and then Will Smith

1386
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:21,960
comes up with a bottle on there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You smoke that

1387
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:23,960
shit. You smoke that you're like asking me to smoke sweet and

1388
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:26,960
stuff and like Will Smith is like playing like me.

1389
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:29,960
Got on that little kid and the kid just like pointing the gun

1390
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:33,960
on everything. Yeah. I don't know handles it really well.

1391
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:36,960
It is. It is funny and just like Martin Lawrence is just so

1392
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:39,960
funny and then one of his other lines ain't going to be no fucking

1393
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:43,960
tonight. Yeah, ain't going to be no fucking tonight. No fucking tonight.

1394
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:47,960
I think is is is also great. He has Pepto just ready to go and

1395
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:50,960
the scene with all like the dead bodies. He's like I need some

1396
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:52,960
Pepto and he's pulled up. Yeah.

1397
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:56,960
Pepto bits. I'm so dummy and Will Smith is talking about all

1398
01:20:56,960 --> 01:20:58,960
the dead bodies and he's how he learned it from the learning

1399
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:03,960
channel and shit. It's yeah. It's it's interesting humor.

1400
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,960
And then how does he not see the pills that he's drinking?

1401
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:10,960
Whatever. Supple leather. Yeah, that's pretty much it. They

1402
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,960
use like the cats in the Guanas to trip the white. Yeah, there's

1403
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:17,960
just some funny goofy shit in this movie. Goofy shit.

1404
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:20,960
That's all sorry. No, no, no.

1405
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:26,960
As I pulled up my notes to and it's just like my notes are, you

1406
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:30,960
know, that's a funny shit. Martin Lawrence getting shit on is pretty

1407
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:34,960
funny. Man. So many ecstasy pills.

1408
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:37,960
I have to say like Blue Streak is one of my favorite action

1409
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:40,960
comedies like ever as well. Like that movie is endlessly

1410
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:43,960
rewatchable for me as well. And I just I threw it on recently

1411
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:48,960
and yeah, love it. Love it. He's so good in it.

1412
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:53,960
Okay, so for me that as he says, as Luke Wilson, I probably

1413
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:56,960
sound like Luke Wilson more so in that movie where I sound like a

1414
01:21:56,960 --> 01:22:00,960
square. Believe that. Believe easy. And that's what he says.

1415
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:02,960
Believe. Okay, I'm done.

1416
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:04,960
Okay.

1417
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:08,960
Yeah, so like this movie for all of its action and highlights,

1418
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:11,960
this is a relatively hollow movie because there are a lot of

1419
01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:14,960
sensibilities from Michael Bay that are really dated,

1420
01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:19,960
unfortunate, grating, you know, and it's a tough thing to wrestle

1421
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:22,960
with because again, like we've just been so steeped in with our

1422
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:28,960
series of summer movies is that there is this like the seesaw

1423
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:32,960
or this kind of, you know, exercise that you have to go through

1424
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:35,960
of like, it's okay to turn your brain off and just really enjoy

1425
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:38,960
a lot of stuff being put on the screen and that's okay. And you

1426
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:43,960
don't necessarily need to it doesn't need to have like, you

1427
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:46,960
know, it doesn't need to be perfect. Things don't need to be

1428
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:51,960
perfect. Right. But ultimately, this movie has a lot of stuff in

1429
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:57,960
it that is really hollow, that is so showy, that is so just like

1430
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:01,960
has this undercurrent of like really kind of a shitty persona

1431
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:05,960
to it that really detracts a lot of this from this movie for me.

1432
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:09,960
But the highlights of it are really high. So it's almost like

1433
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:12,960
there's really high highs and really low lows. So when I'm thinking

1434
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,960
about the score of this is like, I really just want to put this

1435
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:19,960
like you did like a firmly in the 70 range because like, I don't

1436
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:22,960
know if you were to just kind of cut this or watch it on TV and

1437
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:25,960
beat for parts of it. It's like, man, this is some stuff that

1438
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:29,960
you really couldn't get anywhere else at this caliber and the

1439
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:35,960
style at this level. And so it just is it's such a, there's, yeah,

1440
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:41,960
it's also too it is difficult to not bring baggage to

1441
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:46,960
this Bay movie, having lived a life where Bay has made a bunch

1442
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:51,960
of movies now like this and to much worse effect because it's

1443
01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:55,960
like really too glossy and really annoying in the editing.

1444
01:23:56,960 --> 01:23:59,960
The color correction is absolutely absurd, which in this

1445
01:23:59,960 --> 01:24:04,960
movie, it's pretty absurd to there just scenes where the background

1446
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:08,960
is blue and then the foreground will be yellow. And then

1447
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:11,960
there's just all of this weird, you know, color stuff that's

1448
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:14,960
going on that just makes this movie come off as this very

1449
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:20,960
glossy Ferrari. Like this movie is is Will Smith's car in this

1450
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:25,960
it's it's actually not the best car. But what when you see the

1451
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:29,960
car on the road doing stuff, you can kind of forget that it's

1452
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:33,960
actually not the fastest car or it's not the best car because

1453
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:36,960
it's just doing cool shit on the road and it has a sleepiness

1454
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:40,960
dude that's really, you know, it can be very captivating. And so

1455
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:43,960
I think for me, I want to almost lean, especially since we're

1456
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:46,960
going to get into more movies that are really big, you know,

1457
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:51,960
and we've been doing that. But like. I just fundamentally, I

1458
01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:54,960
think I want to recommend, I like put this a little bit higher

1459
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:59,960
because the dynamic between Will Smith and Martin Lawrence is

1460
01:24:59,960 --> 01:25:04,960
so good. And I just really hang my hat on that a lot. And then

1461
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:07,960
obviously it's supplemented by the you know, some of the

1462
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:10,960
insane action sequences in this. But I don't know, I think their

1463
01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:13,960
relationship is really just so fun because I think that this

1464
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:16,960
movie could have been a one hander where it is much more

1465
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:20,960
like hard boiled, grittier, you know, in a sense, let me

1466
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:24,960
mean maybe more boring, but this movie has a lot of comedic

1467
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:28,960
flourishes in it that allows you to carry from, you know, it

1468
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:32,960
maybe shakily at times, but carry you from one action sequence

1469
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:36,960
to the next in a way that's really enjoyable. So like, I

1470
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:39,960
think for me, I'm going to give this a 79 is how I'm feeling

1471
01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:44,960
about this. I think to leave it bad boys too has a lot of

1472
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:49,960
cool shit in it. And yeah, I think if you were to just kind

1473
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:54,960
of like do a men in black remove the movies that Michael

1474
01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:57,960
Bay have done after this. And if you were to just be in the

1475
01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:01,960
moment when this movie came out, I think you could relinquish a

1476
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:04,960
lot of baggage that would allow you to go like, wow, this is

1477
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:08,960
something I haven't seen a lot of which I make a great sequel

1478
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:13,960
as well. I mean, we like to make a sequel a sequel that

1479
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:16,960
arguably is even better than the first bolder. A lot of people

1480
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:20,960
probably just watch this one. And I don't know, I feel like

1481
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:23,960
people cite this one as like all bad boys to is the one to

1482
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:28,960
watch. But yeah, I mean, we're in the we're in the same same

1483
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:33,960
same range. And this was this was one that we threw on my

1484
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:38,960
bachelor party recently like late night. And it was like, it

1485
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:41,960
was fun for that to just like casual and then the night sort

1486
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:45,960
of thing. And I don't have to think too hard about it. You can

1487
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:49,960
see some cool show. Some funny stuff. And I think that's yeah,

1488
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:51,960
I know people say mean spirit and some of the criticisms and

1489
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:56,960
everything, but there is like a joy to him as well. And what

1490
01:26:56,960 --> 01:27:00,960
he's trying to do is is trying to be fun, you know, even if it's

1491
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:04,960
at the cost of some people sometimes. But great, I had a

1492
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:09,960
fucking awesome discussion. Again, like, I got to say one more

1493
01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:12,960
time, man, my car, that car chasing, I got to make like a

1494
01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:16,960
list of letterbox or something of favorite car chasing. But

1495
01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:18,960
that one, that one's going up there now. I'm thinking like

1496
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:21,960
Matrix who loaded even brought up like what tenant earlier,

1497
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:25,960
even that car chasing or whatever, like you think about

1498
01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:29,960
that movie, the car chasing is is where it where it hits for

1499
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:36,960
sure. All right, well, for next time, please join us as we do

1500
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:44,960
another sequel, a screenquil, if you will, we're going into

1501
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:48,960
spooky territory for just just an episode, I believe it is

1502
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:55,960
screen to from 1997, it is a polarizing movie, it is a

1503
01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:59,960
critically favored polarizing movie, which makes it extra

1504
01:27:59,960 --> 01:28:04,960
fun. It is an 82% from critics certified fresh, and a

1505
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:09,960
poopy doopey snoopy 58% from the audience. What's going on?

1506
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:12,960
We will discuss it and we're very excited. We have a

1507
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:16,960
special returning guest and just put it into perspective.

1508
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:19,960
The original screen was an 81 from critics and an 80 from

1509
01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:23,960
audience. Yeah, so we'll see what went wrong here for the

1510
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:28,960
second one for that that audience side of things. For us

1525
01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:31,960
aren't my honest opinion about it because I agree. I think a

1526
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:33,960
memorable point in my life listening to all the music again

1527
01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:36,960

highly recommend you look him up. He's done a lot of cool
