Welcome to the Polarize Podcast, baby.
I am your host, James.
This is the podcast about polarizing movies.
Welcome to it.
Reery podcast traveler.
Take a rest by the fire of polarizing movie discussions and let us tell you a tale of
polarizing movies in the polarizing movie kingdom and the polar bears.
All that inhabit that that said kingdom.
We are talking about a movie that audiences and critics disagree on today on round tomatoes,
the movie being things to do in Denver when you are dead from 1995.
This one, the critics and audiences disagree on it.
The critics hate it.
The audiences love it.
It could be vice versa.
It could still apply to our podcast because we talk about polarizing movies, the movies
that audiences and critics disagree on.
It is a 37% by the critics.
It is a 72% by the audience and audience favorite movie, you would say.
And there will be some blokes here to discuss this movie with with me.
This this off disagreed upon movie is about to get revived in the world today to have
another discussion.
And to do that, I will need my trusty co-hosts.
The great brandini get on in here.
Oh, yeah.
Let's get on in here.
And start talking about a crazy movie.
I had never heard about this movie.
I I had the wonderful pleasure of being on a discord wall.
You got to experience this movie for the first time.
Question.
Did you watch it again at all today?
No.
OK, cool.
Yeah.
So we're perfect.
So I would like to say that even after watching it last night, it's like fresh in there.
But also it feels like a fucking fever dream.
So we'll see.
We'll see what's what's actually stayed in there and will manifest it in discussion
today because I feel like there's a lot to fucking talk about.
There is so much to talk about.
We really wanted to get into some of the the weeds of it all.
This is something that is strange and I had quite the time watching it.
God, God, that was the point of this.
I think it'll be worth a discussion, I think, because it seems to be at least how it looks
on the scores here and a little bit of the reviews I looked at that this is kind of a
it's not a cult classic.
Is it?
Maybe it's like super cult classic because I feel like the audience is a is a
jamming with it.
They like it and they and they're like this.
Yeah, this rips.
Yeah, it's all those.
Absolutely.
I'm yeah.
So this I feel like this episode because of especially our guests.
So me and the guests that I'm about to introduce, watch, I guess you say.
And guess I say.
So me and this guest talk about movies all the time.
And it's just it's a weekly conversation.
And time and time again, you know, this guest will be like, I'm going to watch this movie.
I'm like, you know what, I'm going to put on that movie, too.
You know, I work a I work from home so I can have like something up here while I'm doing
work.
I'm like, you know what, I always love to check in on movies and whatnot.
And this movie just had me fucking reeling by the content of it.
And so and then me and this so-called guest, I'm going to get there.
And we're just hypothetically if there were a guest.
Hypothetically, if there were a guest, just saying, I know, you know what?
Anyways, we're jamming on this movie and I was like, we got to do this.
We got to get James in on the convo because this movie is worth talking about.
So without further ado, I'm going to intro the guests.
Please.
I'm in the polar kingdom.
He's your polar daddy.
He is a daddy himself.
He's an all star on the pod.
Mr. Danny Burge.
Daddy, I'm honored.
I did not know I was the polar dad.
All the little polar bears out there.
Yeah.
Huge man.
That's so huge.
Polar daddy presides.
I wear that brown.
Yeah, dude.
I'm going to get a like an iced out chain that says polar daddy.
Polar daddy.
Please.
Yeah.
I'm not taking it.
Okay.
Welcome to the show.
Polar daddy.
Wow.
Polar daddy.
Polar.
Oh, Polar daddy.
Oh, daddy.
Yeah.
He got a dabby.
Daddy got a dabby.
Polar daddy got a dabby.
That's like we got you got your catchphrase.
You dubbed the polar kingdom and the little polar bears, you know, you just.
You're dipping out.
No, no, no, no, no.
Polar daddy sets up upon his mountain and and dibbys out the the Y sings.
So it's so, Danny.
So.
How did you come across this movie?
So again, so he is Danny.
Why are we all here today?
Tell us how this happened?
How did you come to finding this?
This, yeah.
Top of the discussion.
I try to look for like whatever like hidden gems are like around like.
On the world.
I like to dig through a lot of the like the 80s.
The town scout.
Stuff that like I miss.
And yeah, man.
I like metal detector.
Your other name.
One of those that was like last chance to watch before they like dump it off of
the thing.
I've been like in those sections.
Yeah.
I'm like, hey, I'm going to get these while they're hot.
You know, I'm not going to let you know these little.
In this day and age.
Absolutely.
We're always talking about one plan forms this on.
Do I own that subscription?
Yeah.
Who needs recently added?
How about last chance before it just gets lost into the void?
Yeah.
Give me that section.
Lost in the void section.
Lost into the void of streaming.
I'm going to buy it.
Yeah.
Last chance before you get another price tag.
Yeah.
So yeah.
Yeah.
So I just, I came across it and I was just like, I just started reading who was in
it and I was like, all right, like let's, let's just, let's just throw this on.
I'm like, I was like 30 minutes in and I called you.
I was like, dude, you gotta watch this.
Like I would.
Do you remember which part it was?
That you're like, I got a cold brand.
I don't know.
Probably once they were, by the time they were in the diner, like then I was like, dude,
so the, the, the P.
P.
He had their ideas and things and I'm like, you really think, like, you didn't have to do
that.
Like, I mean, I guess they absolutely did not have to do that at all.
It really had nothing to do with anything.
It was an upsetting way to start the movie.
He was upset after his breakup.
solve on film, you know, they just went right into what it
crazy, which is rough because it almost seems like at least
Christopher Walken, but almost like the movie doesn't
counter it at all where it's like the reason that he does this
is because of the breakup. And it's like, Hey, maybe there's
something else going on there. Maybe there's something a little
deeper going on with him than just like, Oh, the fact that a
girl boat, maybe you shouldn't blame the break up. Absolutely.
Because it's
maybe that's obvious. This movie didn't seem like that was an
obvious thing to think that it just like told the story of
Christopher walking just laying down that story and then
you're like, that's about 10, 15 minutes in, you're kind of
like, is that what we're doing here? Is that what this movie
is like setting this up? Wow. It's about it's not even like a
kidnapping. It's not a this is that it's right to find a
pedophile. Like, yeah, there's no good by a good good feels
about like what we're doing at all. Like, there's nothing no
honor in it. Like, it's yeah,
we're starting to get it right into the movie, which I love
because we have a lot to talk about on this pod. Yeah, like
look, so just designating, we're starting the discussion about
the movie, intros, Pito, and then also the business that Andy
Garcia, Jimmy, the saint is running, which I'm just alluding
to is called After Life Advice, I believe is what it's called.
After Life Advice. Yeah.
So the movie has just like voiceover throughout of different
people that are giving us voiceover, but like also
got the guy in the booth.
Well, they do it like with three to four different like
random. They do because it's like, the movie thinks it's so
much cooler than it is by having this like, like tool in
their toolbox, whenever you want to frame a new section or
what the purpose or like kind of thematic elements of a
subsequent scene is I'm going to put in somebody talking to
their loved one about dying. And so there's this ongoing thing
about how they set up with After Life Advice that we're
going to watch videos of people who have ailments talking to
their family members. And that is a cool idea. I want to say
that's a cool idea. But I oftentimes don't think the
movie does like deserves or like earns the heady, deep
concepts that these people at the end of their life are
giving. And I will say too that so much of the business of
After Life Advice is undercut immediately as being a really
stupid business. And that the shit out of me, like the entire
time, knowing that his business about this After Life Advice
just is in debt, not making money. He also is where introduced
to Jimmy the Saint Andy Garcia, our main character by him
pitching his business to this couple. Yeah. I don't know.
The first video that he was the first video he walks by is
some like old dying dad telling his son that women are girls.
I don't know. Oh my god. If you chase a dog and it runs, treat
him like shit. Oh, shit. What I did to your mother, they're
like shit, and they come running. And I'm like, whoa,
immediately you're like, this isn't sweet. Right. This movie
started off with a pedophile and then goes into this. This
movie wants you to hate its guts. What it's doing.
Yeah, because it shows like some of the beautiful the beautiful
side later. But it's so strange that they immediately start
with this like twisted, which the movie is fucking twisted. But
they start with the twisted thing rather than show you like
the probably what happens to the majority of the time is a
heartfelt message from a loved one telling them what they want
to hear before they leave this mortal coil. But then the first
thing they show as they introduce it is like the most
strange fucked up version. So right, which this movie plucked
out of a box is the most strange and weird fucked up movie
you could probably pick out of a out of a bunch as well. So
that's just it's it's a part of it. But that is something that
almost I feel like belongs in like a Charlie Kaufman movie or
something like that or like the eternal sunshine sort of effect
absolutely having that sort of so sci-fi departmentalizing like
those sort of human emotions and feelings into this business and
and all that and and finding a way to mix that in it. There's no
glue holding it together with anything and those videos could
be a lot better. Like what is it when Harry Met Sally, you
know, when it shows like the couple's and everything like
that. Yeah, it's really it's and it comes back in later in
everything and whatever the Dust Bowl or whatever with
interstellar like the people that are talking about the Dust
Bowl and interstellar it's like there's ways to do that.
Obviously, like that's a more heady movie, but you have
something like Harry Met Sally. It's a romantic movie. You can
you can make it fun and make it uh yeah interesting and this
one is throwing a lot of style at you with these heinous
concepts and asking you to buy in the problem is it just it
just there's never that counter and maybe like this should
be I don't know. There's like there's a Tarantino thing with
this with this movie that I feel like it's trying to be and I
don't want to harp on that for for too long but I feel like
it's it's definitely trying to be this. Let's get it out of
the way. Pulp Fiction sort of sort of movie with the music
record drops of of the music and the type of music and the
narration and the types of characters and like when that
when the pedophile at the beginning of the movie is
apprehended, it starts playing some rock and roll. It's like
ran and it's like this is like going to be a twisted movie
but it's asking you to buy in and in a way that's not I don't
know. It's it's just it's missing the mark in such an
obvious way and you can tell that it's influenced by it and
there's a lot of movies at this time that were but the
clearest thing to me as we were watching Brandon last night
just to get the side of the way is that there was a moment
when they someone had a gun and was like switching aim on
somebody and that was as they were doing it there was a
sound effect and like the speed ramping of the camera as
well and that was just a clear like diner hold up with like
Tim Roth and and bunny you know at the beginning of what
beginning and oh which one is it beginning or the end? I
don't know you're going to find out it's Pulp Fiction but
in that scene the same sound effect as they change aim with
the gun is like
it just like blew my mind some of those things that were
editing or so kind of like uh trademarks at the time in the
nineties because they hadn't been done before and there's
such a stylistic cool sort of thing that I'm sure a lot of
people wanted to jump on and and do that kind of kind of thing
as well so the movie is tinged in that but the story it's
telling is fucked up and weird. I don't know. Maybe it's
trying to take on a little bit of the Coen brothers sort of
effect to a little bit of Fargo or something where at least
fucked up things are happening but there's like a lot of
there's these interesting characters along the way and
they all have these eccentric eccentricities and and all of
that but yeah I'm just talking more as a whole about like the
themes and kind of kind of tones yeah and so a lot of a lot of
battling tones and and and whatnot but that's that's part
of a Tarantino well done Tarantino movie as well but uh how
was your first watching of a Danny and how how many times
did you watch it after? What kind of effect did it have on
you on the first time when you like credits are rolling
warrants, Evans, Blarian, like what was what was your feeling
at that time? It was after you talked to Brandon already?
It was goofy. I mean we were I think we were like we hopped
on discord we were like watching I feel like we were at
least at least I called you right after you finished. No, I
had I had yeah yeah I watched it and then called you back and
I was like wow that wow. It was like like there was just a lot
of swings with this movie and it was it was fun and it it
cracked me up and it was like entertaining to to watch like
I definitely you know like with with the timing of it and and
how you're saying that lines up totally but like this movie
does like you're saying it also hits more than that though.
It had it has kind of try hard try try too hard kind of feel
that that I love in bad movies is the consistent argument I
would make for this movie is that this is not a good movie.
This is the bad movie but it begs you to be like so
confounded by decisions made you know because to James's point
and and you know we're having the discussion about the
influence of Pulp Fiction here on this and obviously it's so
apparent that you know audiences in from an executive
standpoint. Audiences are starved for this Pulp Fiction type
material so I'm going to green light anything that's
similar to it and so this movie gets made and it has all of
these stars in it and there is a conviction to it but it just
time like every which way it just is so confounding the like
decisions made in this movie. It like from top to bottom like the
bare bones of it as a script is fat shit right and then you get
placed upon like these like stylistic notes like hey this is
probably on its bare bones and when you read the script
probably like a drama like a gangster drama sort of thing and
then they see the like maybe maybe but when they see
yeah again when I think when they see the sort of like Pulp Fiction
Trainspotting whatever and they they're like oh we can make
this like plus it up a bit and add some like flavor and style
and not make and not bum people out with the material and try to
plus it up with some yeah and how it ends I don't know like the
very last is this boat drinks is a happy ending even though it's
it's not a happy ending at all but they're like hey have a baby
you know like we want you to have fun leaving the
you know leaving the movie but I think I interrupted you Danny I
don't know if you're trying to say I will real quick real quick
can I just say gentlemen when I shift off this mortal coil can
you guys if you're still around go boat drinks boat drinks hell
yeah boat drinks this movie's done anything then it's it's
giving us boat drinks and you know I just yeah I'll keep
reading through the discussion but things like that are so
visceral in this movie that whether or not they're deserved
totally up to discussion but there are some lines in this movie
where you're like wow what a what a thing it's so like
overwritten that it borderlines like poetic when it's done well but
then the most of the time it's like no one speaks like this no one
yeah what movie are we in what time period I'm not talking to
each other so I was looking at like I was looking at trivia
whatever I guess Scott Rosenberg like it said that he based a
lot of the dialogue off of like biker slang and I saw
that and Vietnamese slang or something like that sure it was
the trivia so take it with a grain of salt but it says
created the distinctive slang based vocabulary used by the
characters in the film by mixing Vietnam slang and biker slang
and adding in some of his own original diction yeah well it
makes a lot of sense though when like some of the stuff is
just like all this like old weird whatever but then
others is like a man armed with only a fork in a land of
means like that's like that's like that's like mean something
in Vietnamese it's like I was dying at that line dude that line
had me like rolling and I'm like I have to that's like I have
to take that on and use that now like when I when I'm in a
desperate situation like I feel like I'm a man with a fork
in a land of I mean we we we got to go through some of the lines
I can start maybe just start with some of the beginning of my
notes like the bitch is bastard is how he's kind of introduced
he does he does the little praise Jimmy the saint the
bitch is bastard the guy I forget his name with the the
mustache and in the diner I'm sure he's a he's a classic old
actor that I'm the Sultan of Segway Sultan of Segway yeah the
silver naked lady is the is the bar you know it's shot in
Denver like I like these these the setting of it because it
does yeah I like the lookie I like them like walking and talking
on the streets and stuff like feels like locales you don't
seen a lot of movies so that made it like interesting and
I'm sure there's some Denver Denver Odians Denver Denver
right right Denver rights that maybe enjoy seeing their city
you know in in the movie as as well and that was kind of
interesting but I would maybe I'll play this but Denver was not
a like a noticeable like feature in the movie though right
like we never got a scabishing shot so anything there was a
couple there's a couple there's a few city establishes stuff
and stuff it wasn't like gratuitous that like it was like
yeah okay take it easy I know we're in Denver but there was a
there's a couple in but I was gonna maybe we can start by
just sharing one of the very memorable scenes we can just
all watch together as Brandon and I and Brandon's watched it
with me and he's watched it with you Danny so he's just he's
become an ambassador for this movie in a way but I'm sharing it
in in the chat here let me know when you guys are ready and
we can and I'm sure you guys at home will enjoy at least
the dialogue and you can get a taste for what the dialogue is
are you guys ready? Yep. Yeah. Here we. That's your name.
Tremendous name. My name is Jimmy and I just have one simple
and positive question. One simple and positive question. What?
At the present time that you're in love. Why? Because if you are
then I won't waste your time. I'm really not the type of man to
impede another man's happiness. However, if you're not
presently in love then I will continue my rap city because if
I may say so, you are most definitely the bees knees. What?
Is that one? Okay, wait, we gotta go back at least on that
one. All right. I know this is gonna be exhausting this
happiness. This right this right here where he says if you're
not presently in love then I will continue my rap city.
That's about me. Say so. You are most definitely the bees
knees. Is this rap ever work? The last in the world. Right?
It's working on you right now. But you haven't answered my
question. I got it. Are you in love? Well, there is someone
but we date. I have memorized his phone number but I won't use
his toothbrush. You're somewhere in between and he's crazy
about me. Your brush should be. You glide. I glide. You glide.
It's a very attractive quality. Most girls they merely plot
along you on the other hand and you glide. Tell me about it.
What's that you got? Alex. I love that. Does he thank you?
Thump. Define thumb and thumb. When you think about him, you
can't sleep. When you smile, you forget about man's humanity.
Does he do that? That's a ridiculous concept. No one can do
that. Girls who glide need guys who make them thumb.
What? It's cold here. It's a beautiful month. Just holding
a segue. Are you gonna make a segue? Girls who glide need
guys who make them thumb. Aren't we the soul of the
segue? It's a beautiful month. Just have a day with me. Are
you gonna make me thumb or die trying? Or die trying. Oh,
wow. She is such a smoke show. Just Danny, calm down. She's
just a beautiful eyes. I'm gonna regret this. And I was
liking her 90s outfits. Yeah. Gentleman. Very, very fit. She
had one that was very Sydney Grafford. But that is the
meet cute that is him laying down the Andy Garcia charisma
and that is some of like those poetic lines that don't work
when you speak them but I'm sure when what's his face got
was right down was just like and that would go well in like a
book or something like if like I will stop this rhapsody but to
be honest, I believe that you are the bees knees like those
does it doesn't work and that's why I was almost like is this
like part like yeah and I get the Vietnamese slang meets
biker slang and I almost want to say like 30s like yeah beat
Nick sort of shit too. There's like because there were
certain times in the movie this movie that I was like what
year is it is the 30s or the 40s or something when they were
going into like hang out in a malt shop. The fecal freaks
apartment. No, no, no, stop. We're not at fecal freak yet.
Okay. I'm just saying his set the set design of that apartment
was like someone in Godzilla. You are Japan in the dust bowl
as well as as well as the the woman who was like hanging
laundry and stuff. I'm like this looks like the dust bowl. I
don't know what's going on. Yeah. And yeah, Scott Rosenberg
wrote the script in two weeks. It was partly in reaction to
the death of his father from cancer is what it says on
IMDB trivia as well and I can imagine the afterlife advice
being a huge element of that. Yeah, that made yeah, but you
decided to just be a yeah. And do sure on everything else
about it. There's like there there are some interesting
there's some interesting concepts at play here like
through this movie. It's just when you think about the like
it's somebody that's why I like I kind of just immediately
categorize him as a do sure is like he's a person who's like
more operating on vibes than operating on in order to really
achieve the vibe you're looking for. You need to do this and
like this and this and this is how the plot should go and
there's just so often this movie where you're like I get the
feeling that you're trying to get at me, but like you aren't
here in the plot. You don't deserve even where like even
when it happens. It just is so crazy, but that's what also
puts it into the bad movie category for me is like
somebody that is so it's like a
stupidly going into situations with a lot of heart and I
know that I there's a story to tell and yeah or maybe 10 and
they try to he tries to tell them all but there's some
commitment to what's happening. There is I think there it does
hit that bingo list for a lot of those so bad it's good sort
of things and I think one of them is like a legendary
performance from like an esteemed actor coming in and
being the and Christopher Walken at the end and he and he
eats up the scenery anytime that he's talking about them. I
think we should at least move past the inciting you know
Christopher Walken getting him in on this you know and getting
his crew together and then at least you know the whole deal
gone bad and in the in the road at least you know get get to
there a little bit and if you guys have anything to say
about that but Christopher Walken lives in darkness Brandon
multiple times said that he might be a vampire and I would
have believed that reveal at some point at the end of a movie
where he just to be like hey at water go get me my blood vial
so that I may feast. Yeah, I mean the introduction to him
and then also him having that straw wheelchair thing was
like pretty wild in in a he owned it. He did not have a
he did pretty good job. I mean as far as like the
physicality of it all in the movement huh but then when they
have him later on in that like sauna and that's like he's
just sitting and that's like I forgot that was the third
location. His hot like a he was only like whipping his dead
legs with all the branches like it's gonna bring them back.
He's like this is this is my time when my hot somebody just
my dead legs impersonate him getting food fed to him for me
please. Oh yeah man I could have just watched a lot of that
chuchu like just airplane let's do airplane. Yeah he's pretty
fun when he's not letting people to suck his dick.
Danny James just dropped a hell of a quote about the chuchu
or airplane. Do you remember that? Yeah dude that's what
walking's gonna have fun no matter where he is. He's gonna
have a good time. I got to be so like I like that to be like
a little child but be so menacing and evil at the same
time. I thought that he knew that there was something there
in the character to go for even if the movie had a hard time
filling it out. Yeah. Yeah. You're like this guy can still
have fun. Yeah. Are you just like this like he's infantile
in terms of like him and his nurse but then he's also boss
baby in front of all of his in front of all his goons and all
that shit because he's just like yeah I'm gonna kill somebody
but I maybe I want an airplane rather than a chuchu today
but this is just an aggressively like East Coast
movie for Denver as well. I was like all these East Coast cats
like yeah that are transplants I'm sure is the which they don't
really get super into you hear that Andy Garcia has this like
I don't know what the what you would term it but this New
Orleans boss has you know has he owes him something of some
money. Yeah. Which in turn you know Christopher Walken is
higher up which makes him you know Christopher Walken is
calling in the debt on him but I was like yeah where are they
originally from? Are they are they are they you know there's
something something East Coast and he's came this way to do
this and it's not a front it seems to be just him trying to
be clean Jimmy the same. Him go legit. Go legit. Yeah.
Earlier later on the movie there's somebody who says something
about him like back in Brooklyn or whatever and so it may
sound like they all were a crew in the Bronx of Brooklyn or
something and then and then maybe they all transplanted out
here or something but that's where it's like how are they all
here? Yeah. All in down there from back then. Uh huh. It's
like everybody just was like well let's get out of New York
and move to Denver. Like I don't know. It seems so I'm going
to move next to all my gangster buddies that I'm trying to get
away from. Everybody retires in Denver. Denver. Yeah. But
that that was that's not the least that's the least of
the problems but you get this explanation from Christopher
Walken of his son and what is proposed to or just required
of Andy Garcia and you can tell Christopher Walken is not a
man to fuck around with and oh definitely not Brandon. Maybe
you can explain what he's asking Andy Garcia to do you? Yeah.
So or Christopher Walken is calling on Andy Garcia leveraging
him by saying so you own this guy in New Orleans money and
that money is actually mine and so I'm going to call that up
and say hey you need to pay this or you need to do this thing
for me and obviously Andy Garcia doesn't have the money so
then he does the thing and the thing is that Christopher
Walken stun is the Pito in the beginning of the movie and the
reason that he's a Pito explained by Christopher Walken
in a very funny way. I was reminding me of him explaining
a certain story about a watch a little bit but continue.
He is asking Andy Garcia to rough up the new boyfriend of his
son the Pitos ex-girlfriend ex-girlfriend and yeah so that's
mission because he's essentially stalking her and he's like
the dad's now enabling that by taking this other guy out of
the picture and thinking that's going to solve it.
Yeah which this is the stuff about the movie that's such a
problem is like so the goal is to just rough him up if
anything it should have been for him to get killed from the
get go right like in a way that was like mysterious that the
girlfriend was like oh my God now I have this dead boyfriend
I'm going to go back to my old boyfriend you know even that
even if it was that or if it was like taking a beat by Andy
Garcia and being like hey at least consider the any sort of
alternative because he immediately just like I guess is
what I got to do and said and said just be like I don't know
even if he never does it the movie has to exist I get that
but just have a little bit more hesitation with like hey is
there any way I can get the fuck out of dodge and and and like
it and forget about this altogether but maybe that's
a little drastic at the beginning of it maybe he thinks
it's not going to be too much of a problem he gets his crew
together his his motley crew and what I mean there's some good
some good actors I like his second hand guy who has meets
the worst fate of all I think you're not talking about a
foresight you're talking about oh yeah foresight is awesome
I guess he's kind of the second hand guy I was thinking about
the other guy who gets shot in the ass and thrown in a dumpster

they treat these characters like absolute shit shit
it drives me nuts it really looked like his like
Christopher Lloyd has all his fingers like but they got some
shots where it kind of looked like he had no fingers on that
hand no that's the whole thing yeah absolutely I don't know
how they shot that he lost a toe and all this shit too you
son it just and it has nothing to do with what they want him to
serve as a character every character here's a weird quirk
man the guys that pick them up it's like this guy's reading
the deal so he works at a porn place like he doesn't have to
work at a porn place it's a hat on a hat yeah he doesn't have
to work at a porn place and then also not have fingers like
that that's not yeah this movie has so many hats yeah this
movie is like this is like a goddamn a hurry a had her

my favorite were the inside out ones that no longer exists
inside out oh peanut butter outside chocolate on the
chocolate on the inside I'm with that let's down with that
here anything else left to say oh Christopher Lloyd yes can I
quote the one line my favorite line of his I had a snap brim
hat and when I walked into a room forget about it yes yes
that's what I wanted whatever I wanted to room forget about
forget about it that scene I was in tears I was in tears
during that scene like Christopher Lloyd is so good yeah he's
so good he made me really care I was like I could picture him
in that shit in this movie that is so cynical and so up its
own butt and he just like gives you a fucking performance that
is really I wish he would have taken that ticket to Rome I
wish we would have at the end and he was if he's the only one
that made it out I would have been like yeah you know and he's
like tears in somebody and his pinky falls off or something
it would have been fucking hilarious but like I think it's
got a little bit more room there would have been a little bit
more redemption but we'll get to that at the end no this is
yeah it's really dark real quick did you guys know the reason
that fast 10 had their premiere in Rome is because there's a
character in the fast series called Roman yeah they make that
joke like 20 times in that movie we talked about it all of us
here today yeah they're they're big on word play over there I
know guys but I'm still thinking about it I when Roman like
makes that joke he like does it in a way that all of the people
in the audience are reacting the same way that all the other
characters in the movie are acting because he's just like
well I'm gonna head up the the Roman mission because my name
is Roman I'm gonna head up the Roman mission because my name
is Roman get it Rome Roman he does that whole exercise of like
do you get it I will explain it to you now so that will make
it funnier because things are always funnier when you explain
it a little baby birds we're all little baby birds and then
we're just feed it to us feed it to us yes explain the joke to
me I love it I love it I love it the joke is explained to me
to me oh I listened to Coldplay
they got some good songs anyways
they do yeah anyways they're parachutes is great
there's a there's a line about a Russian blood in the head
school you know first two three is a little draw a job off of
you know there's a moment where Christopher Walken
likens the because he's he's talking about being he's like a
liberal now the anti-Garcia character he's like you're such a liberal
and you know you start saving rainforest and that leads to
chugging cock yeah yeah poles yeah yeah just
he goes into him into him about like he's like what's
that he is so homophobic yeah he said yes it's literally
close some V VDs he just calls people VDs a virus breeders
VB yeah VBs right that's right whoa yeah he's the
pillow by the thing dude but this guy's not he's not even
mad or anything he's like just giving his friends shit
this is like he's just going real hard on that like while
I know right so nuts oh balls to the wall about like
he's not like how does he how did he even make it to being a
boss oh off the wall so yeah because it's like you seem in
this big house with no one around it's like how did he get
to this position because he must have been like sharp as
attack at some point I want to see that side we we got to
write a yeah pretty cool Netflix balls oh to the walls oh
I love that title give it a name yes please just looking at
some it's cool it's cool oh my god my god that water that
water that water get over here wow that water crazy as a
shithouse rat is one of the lines crazy as a shithouse
line walking does dance at one point and like a brief
flashback of like the sun's life there's like a little
little glimpse like he's just got a little dance and
everything he's in I love it it's the best amazing dancer I
think it's crazy how many times people say give it a name like
where they just peppered that phrase into everything there's
a bunch of peppering this is this movie over pepper yeah like
over pepper this is black and more pepper than movie yeah
because because then that older gentleman that's like a
mentor or whatever who explains a lot of the explains
boat shoes yeah exposition and a boat that's cool too and
that's cool too hey nice comfortable pair of dog shoes yeah
he's also the gentleman that says that critical bill is piss
pesticide and petroleum jelly full of those veins yikes whoa he
had that one locked and loaded I wonder if he describes that
like uses that for anybody else or it's just critical bill he's
like yeah he made me come up with this great phrase let me tell
it to you this pesticides petroleum jelly that's the only
way to describe him VP PJ this is right after he is he is
punching a dead body as a punching bag oh my god but
that's therapeutic for him right where all I'm and this is
like the oceans 11 thing you're like I gotta recruit my team
alright let's go get critical bill but it did it did it did
and then it's man that it's kind of a bitch and yeah James
just brought up a good point about the plot of this movie so
this is like a heist is the opening they need to obsessively
rough up the boyfriend of the ex-girlfriend right that's it
that's the mission just like send him a message say like
don't go yeah yeah like that's and like like this lady is
gonna just come running back to this dude who's just a real
piece of shit now everything went according to plan it's
still wouldn't fucking work like if they went through all of
it and the Christopher Hawkins like okay well like what's like
why aren't they together now like would he still just be like
it's all your fault Andy Garcia or would he like yeah move on
there on the parent trap these people now yeah you got wait
it's not computer it's called it's called favors you must parent
trap a person in mind yeah they got buckwheat on them which
that book fucking weeds every single fucking character in the
movie said buckwheat for the next 20 minutes dude it's like
everybody's just like buckwheat that buckwheat this and it's
just oh my god we get it yeah I mean the the scene on the road
we shouldn't that that was I think maybe the best scene in the
movie it was pretty fucking wild like how it how it plays out
I think like the most like successful and accomplishing like
a Taryn Tino feel to a scene not saying that's like the only
thing they wanted to do but that's what this movie reminds me
of and that scene is filled with tension and the dialogue works
pretty well and the ratcheting up of the like all the checks
and balances of making sure that the plan should go well like
they they have like oversight over Christopher Lloyd and
critical bill and the plant and like it's overall going okay and
it just so happens this guy like knows the uniform thing like
knows his rights from Los Angeles and knows exactly what to do
but I love that sort of and Christopher Lloyd playing it's
so well like the being able to like yeah you can tell that just
his tension in his eyes and trying to hold it together yeah I
think that that plays the best and I was blown blown away just
like the girlfriend as what happened yeah and I can attest
to somebody who works with a lot of the movie didn't that
worked audio Lee got to experience this movie with James
where when that stuff happened it was shocking and it's
shocking to me as well but like to yeah to get to hear that
was so fun because again the movie is so brash and so big
and there are some moments in this that you're like holy shit
this is where this movie is going well I was laughing really
hard at him he's being he gets dragged out of the car by critical
bill he's standing against the his car and he's just given so
many chances to just like shut the fuck up and go with the plan
but then he constantly like chirps up and that because like
that's kind of what the movie needs a little bit is is is but
the the the lengths that they go to like drag that out was
hilarious to me because like he's calling them out for it
they drag him out and then he puts a knife up to him and
Christopher Lloyd holds a gun to critical bill like this is
as like gnarly and like ratchet up tension as it could get and
then somehow it's still like the sweet they assuage the situation
home the knife gets dropped or like even sorry even before
that he calls him a cracker and then the knife comes out he
calls him a cracker and then after he beats him up and then
he pulls the knife out then drops the knife after he already
did the like you stupid cracker and then right after he drops
the knife and he's just like okay we're done things are going
to move on and then it just like slowly like looks at the dude
all beat up and just leaning against the car every chance to
shut the fuck up and he's like you stupid cunt fucking like
like it was like it was like it was a situation where he like
has a knife in his wrist that like activates and then he just
goes it was like a little blade yeah yeah but then bingo bingo
bongo girlfriend dead so yeah yeah like then Lloyd just pops
her in the fucking head like that and like man they got like a
shot of like just pieces flying off of her fucking head like
that was that was probably the most shocking part of it but
but then it cuts the fucking it cuts to then like immediately
they're back somewhere else and there was a pedophile at the
beginning of this movie remember that no I meant in that
shocking I yeah that was like obviously like in this in this
stupid way shocking I agree this is like the most like and I
was invested in in the moment yeah I agree but yeah there's a
lot and then it cuts it cuts to like when they're like he's
like the dude's like you gotta clean this shit up and whatever
they fucked us like we're totally fucked all that and then
like it cuts to like critical bill like immediately trying to
explain like why I'm playing the situation yeah he's like you
suck in shit are we gonna are we gonna let people talk shit on
our fucking teammates and you're like so that's why this is
happening like you realize the person's dead that's the
problem here you're like oh here you know what she deserved
it at least I'm right you're like you shouldn't have put me
up front man maybe but I can't believe that fucking happened
in this movie where he pitches himself to do that then
Andy Garcia caves lets him do it fucks it up and then he has
the audacity to just be like dude it was kind of your fucking
fucking and we saw that all in the movie man is so crazy like
you never do you get that in a movie where it's just like this
whole like you made this happen and then you're like you're
an idiot for let me do it I love the baby I can't tell
you man see them in a Marvel movie you're you're an idiot
for letting me do that it was even Batman so like after after
that happens then like we have so meanwhile he's going on
these dates with this chick and that's already happened we're
past that we're he's not been she's gliding yeah no no no but
after that then they have their like their first date when they
go out to that like it's a restaurant that's already happened
but I mean we didn't have but I'm just going to say like that
in the living room yeah in the not even you don't like your
bed in the living room you know the thing is is that it is not
just in the living room which is pretty crazy but whatever I
kind of dug it a little bit but the fact is it's not up against
a wall it's in a corner so it's there's a corner of a room
out of the corner and then and then it's diagonally in the
corner so there's just this empty space in the back of it
and they want to get Denver skyline you get a little Denver
skyline move if she's got a bed in the living room that girl's
a freak dude and that's that's all I'm going to say is that
her rides I mean he's like he's like she's like she's like
there's no the whole house is the bedroom like the whole
apartment's the bedroom that's like that's a wild move man
like that's that's like I don't have a TV I just have my
entertainment yeah yeah alright that's alright so anyways
like but his whole line where he's like you know I don't kiss
on the first date this and this and then he leaves and then he
knocks on her door again and he's like well on my way to the
elevator I saw it was like 12 by one so technically it's our
second date and then boom he's like that do we do we think
Andy Garcia is smooth or do you think these that this is the
cheesiest guy on the planet like no I think he's got charisma
yeah yeah he's got well I think Andy Garcia is very smooth for
the dialogue that he's given everything the dialogue is he's
got those eyes he kind of like furrows his brow looks down a
little George Clooney ish and just kind of like but he he sells
it yeah yeah I think he's smooth the dialogue is batshit I
mean for him for him to have the conviction for the glide
thump line like he sells it as good as anyone can anyone could
this movie for that matter the line where he's like I want to
come in there more than I want the Ascot to come back and
what are these lines line of the movie I brought it up to both
of you I was like bro and he's wearing one later that line
and it's like I want I want it as bad as Ascot's to come back
into style whoa that's that's love baby well so now we get to
the second half of this movie I'd say in the fallout of the deal
gone bad and there is there are like tropes within the movie
I'd say of that at least and like the games gangster movie of
like a deal gone bad and the fallout of it and the boss
having to come and rectify it and follow up and take out
everybody even just recently in the killer that's kind of the
whole the whole thing of the killers is except it's reverse
I guess he's going after the person who hired him but that I
don't know this the second half takes a more yeah I don't
that's that's more straightforward at least of like deal gone
bad just on the run okay that's more straightforward than
like I have to rough up a guy who's dating the girl of a
pedophile who's the son of my boss that's that's so convoluted
and everything in such a weird way right off the bat and
brothers yeah yeah pretty much and then a combined with the
subplot of Farooza Bulk which is a whole separate side thing
that ends up at the end the through line of his arc really
ends with her as well so it's not completely thrown out
because it seems like pretty inconsequential through a lot of
part of it because you're like well he's this is his love
interest but then that falls by the wayside because he is
dealing with some real real kooky stuff but the way that it
ends with Farooza Bulk at the end wow wow right we we can get
semen yes we can get there but yeah I guess the second one
and done kind of guy yes and she I mean she said she she made
it true she is a witch after all from from the craft and so
she said put a baby in me in me and I'm going to tell you the
days so you keep track of it in the movie which I didn't want to
do but now you know now you know that it's done she's good to
go I was and I also like how he booted the other girls nose
after he's like I gotta go and he's like see you later I'd love
you love you want to kiss when you can get a boot you know
okay is that going to be on your bumper speaker boot me big
man I think yeah I think Andy Garcia like I think he he's a
good he's a he's a he's good in this like for what it is
he's curious about it yeah he is he's he's very he's but also
there is like you know there's a sleaziness to him that it
makes him kind of perfect for this role too in a way where you
can see him dancing both sides of these whatever I I think the
the whole perusion ball thing was just a wild like I mean he's
just maybe my favorite part of the movie I don't know there's a
lot of bad had the most to say though right I mean this one I
don't know like he's a good guy I mean he wanted to have
something to leave behind it seemed inconsequential until the
very end it like was like oh this actually means something and
and I don't know maybe if there was I don't know there was this
movie how it paced that along with his his death advice whatever
that is called dude is like those those two things are such
disparate things in this movie that has so much going on in it
at the very core of it and to have these subplots and a love
story on top of it is like it's it's it's a lot to bring all
those things together well and the fact that his plan was so
like so the order comes down that everybody's going to get
fuckwheats which we find out it's like getting getting in the
most painful way possible so people are in agony before they
die which is generally the guy says somebody getting shot up the
ass and it takes him like 15 minutes to die so he's going to
all his guys and giving them giving them an out and telling
them to get the fuck out right yeah and like I mean once
you're at that part first of all I'm going to say that's when
you're really like wait a second so now this is what the movie
is we did we could have gotten here any other way than had a
file like murder this lady like oh that's when you started
question oh that's when you started question.
It was like okay so there's not there's not going to be any
other part of this story that we needed any of that shit for
us so right right on surprising.
I was saying the second half is like simplified for sure.
Well they thought so little about the first half and it's
apparent yeah I think so it was almost like the first half was
just to get to the second half but then you chose this wild
way to get there that yeah and then to then.
Simpler and better it's so weird how you could say it could be
simpler and better right like it gets so all over the place for
no reason.
The script is bananas I don't know how you'd be like oh if you
just did this if you just did that like I don't know I don't
know how you do that with this one.
Yeah well no I'm not saying that you just said this or that
I'm saying like everything like the motivation of some of the
scenes was probably just so somebody could say one of these
lines like weirdo lines or you know it's like it's like somebody
writing for the sake of like just being able to do this thing
yeah like then I'm going to I'm going to bridge everything to
this play in this island for no reason and like it's like
working backwards it's like little reverse engineered I
guess but what it's engineered where like we have to have a
scene that's like this and pulled fiction and then I got a
reverse engineer but it seems like this second half seems like
a heist or something gone bad or some other job that makes way
more fucking sense because it's a job gone bad but the job is
fucking weird.
The job is weird and they also handle the job like
externalities very quickly by all the bodies just get put into
a fucking grave with a coffin with somebody else and then
it's over.
That was very swarce easy.
That was kind of that was kind of fun.
I love that was like a fun detail not like very morose very
dark but like that's the kind of dark humor that you need in
the thing like this of like guys like lifting the coffin being
like oh this is kind of heavy and dropping and some like this
is like a squarse AC sort of fellows thing for sure.
Yeah that was I really like that shot like it felt like when
the guy was like your hip here like often a little what coffin
TV often TV you know where we're just a coffin flop on no one
yeah.
We're just naked.
Oh yeah.
That really that made me laugh out tonight's little detail I
mean there's little little nuggets of like gems and stuff
but also like the way that they then go from there to like
then he's got to they have the interview see Bishammy's
character Mr. Yeah thank you for bringing that up.
It's like it's supposed to be like the craziest hit man who
does all the buck like whatever yeah.
Yeah a little bit of con air is sort of mysterious deadly
character of like doesn't say much but like we'll fucking
kill you with a look at Rosenberg is has a writing credit on
con air.
Yeah I guess.
Yeah so maybe he's got the whole world.
He's got.
Maybe he's the one who gave us the line of you wore somebody's
head you stayed by.
How do they do that?
How do they do it?
How do you wear a person's head as a hat across to see
line look that's Scott Rosenberg that's hot on a head like
head on a hat.
That's what we're talking about here.
Head on a hat.
Got to be our guy.
Like you know if I know one guy who knows hats on hats.
It's on hats on hats on hats.
But yeah they introduced him and like the best way when he
when he sees like them those guys beating up that kid in the
alley or something and he just like casually like shuts those
dudes down.
That was great.
It seems scary.
And like you still kind of didn't buy him like being like some
deadly crazy hitman until like no you didn't have that was the
establishing scene for sure.
That was that scene was as establishing like oh he could just
like walk up to a crew and fuck him up.
Yeah.
And then he got a big wind in that bar.
That was where he was.
Yeah.
But they are it's a bar that's hiding big win.
Like to take care of him and they think that he's safe and
protected and that guy comes in and like shoots.
From showgirls.
We're all very Hovan fans.
How do we feel about that actor in showgirls.
Pretty crazy role.
Oh is it the guy next to Don Cheetle.
Yeah.
The guy in the suit.
Talk to him.
Yeah.
What a crazy performance.
I guess.
His name in the credits Don Cheetle was spelled D A W N.
Like this dish soap.
Don Cheetle.
Or like Twilight Breaking Dawn.
Twilight Breaking Dawn Cheetle.
Yeah.
He gives Don he gives a Steve Buscemi shit of like coming into
my place dressed like that and he's like you guys are both wearing
suits.
He also has that hat on.
I don't know.
He looks a little torpy with the hat in the briefcase.
But yeah, it's just it's essentially Buscemi running through
the crew.
It's the second half is so methodic in a weird way where it's
Andy Garcia going one by one offering them like hey get the fuck
out and then Buscemi going one by one just offing the crew.
Which is and that's just kind of that's kind of how the second
half kind of plays out.
I.
The moment where he goes to brand when you see critical bills
place which I mentioned earlier the fecal freak.
This is the most upsetting maybe of the movie of just being in
the right with fecal freak James.
Oh, I don't know Brandon because he pissed in a nook jug while
having a conversation.
And you had to like sit there and just take it.
This wasn't like a quick this was just like yeah so anyways let me
just and then you like put it back in the fridge.
It was like milk in that carton and then he just like piss into
it and piss into the milk and then put it back and then it's
like eight fucking tuna can with his bare hands.
I was so uncomfortable.
And then Garcia had had just like a piece of shit and he was
uncomfortable and then Garcia had had just like a piece of paper
like newspaper over his nose.
The smell and I was like is this the 30s.
I don't understand this is this man.
Yeah, it was and then he explains his origin story of being a
fecal freak and how poop it how poop case.
Yeah, it's pretty upsetting.
Yeah, he describes the taste of poop.
Yeah, chewy or whatever the fight is.
Well, but that's why but he's all the way in the beginning when
they get into the fight.
He's like I'm not working with this guy and like he's like he's
a fecal freak.
It's like he's not working on them because he saw him eat shit
one time like dude like whatever like what like it's not like he
like killed your sister or something like that.
It's like so the guy.
I mean, I went over to a guy's place to be like hey you want to
hang out and then he like was like yeah, let me just like piss in
my milk and eat some tuna and be like maybe not maybe we'll
hang out another time.
That's different.
I'm not talking about that.
I'm just saying in the beginning that I wouldn't work with him
just because one time in jail, somebody paid him to eat eat
some shit.
I'm just saying like that's that's a it's just a wild move to be
like I'm going to turn down a 10 grand job.
I feel like that's the top of the list of things against him.
I feel like there's a list and he's just like oh there's this
like that's let me just give you the them.
That was the icing on the cake.
Yeah, that was the last straw.
Fair enough.
All right.
All right, I'm back on board.
I'll go through a couple other notes before we barrel to the
end here and get into some reviews.
Let's see.
He was a fuck was one of the lines.
Hey, Green Louis in my face was a walking walking line.
One of those the hand high five thing that they would just like
not do a high five, but they were just kind of like hold hands
for a second.
It was nice with Christopher.
It made sense with Christopher Lloyd's hand because you can't
really do a hard one.
So you just kind of remember they do that.
They say why they do that.
Oh, did they miss it?
Somebody when you go to visit somebody in prison.
There's glass.
Oh, that's right.
Okay.
Yeah.
Boat drinks.
Boat drinks guys.
And then the the Massachio man in the diner says one of my
favorite lines as well.
We've kind of laid out most of the best ones, but this one was
life is a mustard burp momentarily tangy and then gone in
the air.
Life is a great line.
Life.
This is so good.
It's bad.
Kind of like the dialogue is so earnest in what it's like.
I'm trying to say something deep, but it's like done in the most
like backwards way possible.
Like if the moon were a rack of ribs, would you eat it?
It's like nothing.
It's a mustard burp.
Who cares?
I love mustard burps.
That's why my friends call me chest.
Mustard burp.
Yes.
And then the choo-choo or airplane.
Very good.
And then, and then yeah, begging for his life, you know, that
whole scene was pretty fucking intense.
And then all of a sudden it got hilarious.
It's crazy how like it would get so intense and scary and like,
oh, Christopher Walken, because it starts with choo-choo or
airplane.
So you're already kind of like, and then it gets into like
really intense like, big for your life, big for your life.
And then it cuts over to at water.
And then he's like, yeah, big, yeah, big, big for your life.
And then Christopher Walken is like, yeah, take my dick out.
Take my dick out at water.
Take my dick out.
Flats a dick out of my pants.
Well, I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's also, he said some really
scary shit before that.
Yeah.
We're going to send some, we're going to send some crack
ends over to our house and all this shit where it's like, oh
my God.
And then, he comes over the top with out water with my dick out.
We're like, Sam, this guy's just a boss dude.
It swings between true romance and balls of fury.
I don't know.
I never know which Christopher walking you're going to get.
But wow, what a scene.
I don't know.
There's like memorable scenes in this as like bad of a movie as
this is.
There's like some memorable shit in here with memorable people
and performances and things that are written in a tapestry of a
way that doesn't connect, but then like pops in certain ways
or scenes that just like pop, pop off the screen.
And then yeah, my last note was no cat.
You've got to accentuate the.
I listened to that before I got off the discord.
I love that song.
It's, it's great.
And that's the Bing Crosby version, right?
I have for what a reason it wasn't on Apple music, but I'm going
to find it.
God damn it.
There was like a Perry Como version and like an Aretha, Aretha
Franklin version, but it's a great song.
And there was another like, yeah, guitar riff kind of like Dick
Daley kind of guitarist that were pulp fiction need to me as
well.
But I would like to take a little break.
Unless you guys have any other notes.
Boat, I mean, boat drinks.
That was the end of this week.
Again, there was like, they tried to like remind you of like,
hey, you know, you had a good time list.
Yeah, all these like characters that you got to spend time with
even though they are most of them are no, they're all they're
all dead.
And then Andy Garcia and Pregnates has very powerful
semen.
Very powerful and Pregnates for his ball because of is a big
move and she goes on a bus and leaves Denver and leaves the
child video because he has a oh my God, that's how it all come.
That's how that comes together.
And he gives his list of things to do and Denver before he
no, he doesn't give that list.
He gives some other lists about things to do in life.
But wow, to do all that shit before they got to him, like where
he like knocks her up, he goes, yeah, yeah, all that video and
everything.
And they're like, well, and then he goes and kills the court.
Right.
Yeah, he goes and kills the pet and the Pito and everything.
Like so all that, all that, all that.
And like before anybody could get to him and it's like, I don't
know, it just it just shocked me that he walks into a, an
office with a bunch of fucking people hog ties a man's neck and
threatens him in front of everyone and sees no repercussions.
He just jump cuts to him at the diner.
So they acquitted you.
No, he just says no charges.
No charges.
That scene was just like, oh, that's that just nothing.
That was completely inconsequential.
Okay.
That's cool.
So that just happened.
So it sounds like you're going to pregnant that girl.
I would have, what, okay.
I mean, maybe this is so what if you impregnated both of them?
He's got very powerful.
What if they're both pregnant at the end of this?
It's just like, bam, bam, bam, bam.
That sounds like a dink joke.
I feel like it is.
Oh, hello.
Bam, bam.
I don't know.
That sounds like it.
Sounds like a emerald.
Oh, he's the emerald.
You're banging.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's getting off the road.
This was too much for Danny.
That's when you know.
Let's take a little little break.
You break.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Sorry, Sonny.
Sorry, Louis F.
My friend제가lyn.
So, thanks.
Well, that's it for this video.
spawnlessly.
Alright, so this is a video.
we'll be right back in Dr.
Right back open.
You
don't know this story.
And so
Dracula style.
Nothing else in.
Hello.
OK.
So we're back in a really big way, but Danny is not back yet.
But he told us in his stead while he's away, he.
To let our special guest.
Take some time and give us some insider info.
We have a new special guest.
Yeah, we got a new special.
I know.
This is quite the episode.
This is the things to do in Denver when you're dead about all polarized.
That's what I'm saying.
I've been saying that.
There's interesting layers.
There's layers.
There's poor writing.
Anyways, so we got some insider info.
We got an insider from Denver crime unit.
And this person.
Wow.
No way.
It's been a fan, apparently.
A benefit of the pod.
Really?
Kind of new.
They called it was tuned in tuned in.
Yeah, tuned in.
They heard the last episode.
They're in the know.
And they.
Wow.
Just demand it.
That they be on the pod.
And so.
In Danny's.
Still like being a dad doing, you know.
Noble ass shit.
Mind you.
But.
We want to introduce.
It's a noble ass shit for sure.
Brandon.
Thank you.
It's noble ass shit.
But.
We want to introduce.
I don't know.
I'm sorry.
What's your name?
The omelet is what they called me on the streets.
The omelet, sir. Hey, welcome. Welcome to the pod.
I grew up in the Denver organized crime scene.
I was, I was big.
I was big in organized crime.
In the, in the nineties.
In Denver.
Yes.
I can tell you.
I can tell you out of any movie about.
You know, mafia.
Anything like sopranos.
Donnie Brasco.
I don't know.
No.
There's no bad news about the criminals.
Danny Brasco.
What things to do in Denver when you're dead
is the realest look at how organized crime really used to be.
Right.
This is how people talk.
This is what people did.
This is how people acted.
If you, if you,
if you needed to beat something up,
call me the young man. The omelette. I have a question. Yeah.
Have you ever served as like a consulting producer on any of these fine programs or
movies that you have that you have discussed? Or have you just been so
and embalmed in the street knowledge of it all that you've been embalmed?
But I haven't even been I have been embalmed. I mean, don't think I haven't been
involved. I mean, like I've been involved. Sorry. In the streets, of course. But have
you have you taken in into the that baptized into Hollywood?
I've been involved, but I've been baptized to like you could say I pretty much spent my life
being in it and baptized and involved, you know. Wow. What is Jimmy the same based on anybody?
You can say that. You could say that. It's easy to say that.
Yeah. So it sounds like you're saying that question I have for you. Mr. Omelette.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Our most crime organizations in Denver run by cripples.
Oh, I all of we don't use that term.
Yeah. Yes. So it's a use that term. Thank you. Thank you, James. Thank you, James.
Yeah. It's like to be to be to be better. You could say the the the able or the the
what is it the the is it able or not non able? It sounds like you're you're kind of a social
I'm not a lot of words to jump to the conclusions of using words like Brandon would.
But but you know, I'm not gonna say what you so quickly said is on sand.
Well, would you stereotype my bosses in Denver as a certain ilk race it race or handicap otherwise?
I mean, you know, this day and age you've got them all, you know, but but but really,
you know, any anything any any crew that's worth assault is going to be run by somebody.
There's a lot of mentally handicapped or physically handicapped.
You know, that's how it goes. That's how it goes, you know, like we don't make the rules.
So if you had to pick like the most accurate mob movie, I feel like we're on one of those
vanity videos. This is the one. This is pretty much what is this movie do that other movies don't
so well what it does what it does is it's so much as to say like it it it it paints the picture that
you know, you don't have to do nothing if you just say a lot of stuff in the meantime,
you know, like you say it while you're doing just a few things and then those few things seem like
a lot of things like right. It's easy that way. Are you do you have a cold? I feel like it's kind
of your clear up for a second and then there's like a frog or something. I don't know. Let's say
who's ever supposed to be my voice and my journey enough as much as it shouldn't.
You know, that's not it's not my fault. It's it's it's your people like, you know, your people
said they protect me, you know, I was going to be giving complete anonymity. Yeah, it's our
attack. It's our attack. Yeah, with my anonymity, Brandon, like, you know, wait, wait, just a second.
Can I ask the tech me, you know, Mr. Omelette, how did you get that name? I prefer to be the
senior omelette, please. Okay, why senior? Thank you. Why? Why? Well, I feel senior has more
gravitas. You're not wrong. Part. Thank you. Thank you, James. But why? Why? Why? Why? And what
is the chicken or the egg? You got to break a few eggs, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, because like you got to mix some, you know, you got to break some eggs, make some cheese, like, you know,
because it takes a whole mess of things to get me in my place, right? Like, you know,
Hey, senior, I think you hear Danny wrapping at the door before you leave. Who is your favorite
character? Who's your favorite character in the movie? My favorite character is William Forsyte.
You know what Mr. Forsyte? Like, like, like that guy, that guy, like, I just hear such an intensity,
like everything in his face is just so intense, intense, crazy. And seeing him all tatted up and
stuff from the beginning, I was like, Yeah, I got f**ked. Like, I got f**ked some s**t up, you know,
like, you know, and look at that nickname, his nickname is franchise. Yeah. And franchise, like
franchise, yeah, that's my dude, dude. I want that franchise, dude. I'm like, what's your nickname,
senior Omlet? Omlet? You think I'm gonna come? I thought that was your name. You think my mama
gave me Omlet? Yeah. No, man. Okay, well then what's your real name? My nickname's Omlet. What's
your real name then? My nickname? Or is that gonna put you on blasts? Are people gonna come after you?
You know what? It's been so long. And you know, I'm pretty sure ain't nobody coming after,
coming after old Omlet. Senior Omlet. That's right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, King.
Like, thank you, King. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you, King. Like, senior Omlet. That's right. No, my real name,
you know, is Frederick Feinstein. Frederick Feinstein.
Yeah, they say you do put the Feinstein. Feinstein. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, all right. Yeah, you
are taking easy, Mr. Senior Old Omlet, man. Don't tell nobody what I told you here. I had to
protect my identity. Now you know why it's so important to hide myself, you know,
if they knew where I was at, they'd come get me. Final question. Final question. Score out of 100
for things to do in Denver. Wait, wait, wait. I mean, from me, from little old me.
Little, little senior Omlet. I'm gonna give it a give it a 83 out of 100 out of 140.
All right. Yes. 100. That's right. There's this guy that will scale, but you wouldn't,
you know Danny, right? Oh, I wouldn't do that. I'm not like who's gonna go break the scale,
you know, you know, I know. I was like, zero to 100. Like that's it. Don't tell him I told you,
yeah. I'm not telling him. What do you think of Danny? What do you think of Danny? He's a nice guy.
He's cool. He's cool. I like him. He's got, he's got some beautiful children. That is true.
That is true. He does. That he does. Yeah, he's a good father. Real, real, real, real, real great
children. Well, I'm going to make sure I tell him that he looks like he's, he's ready to jump back
in and we were three max podcast as, as we've done in the past. So you enjoy your day, Mr. Omelette.
I got to hop on the stand. I got to go. Anyways, what a character. I can't believe we've had just
a little call in from a little stop by from somebody driving a drive by fruiting a drive by
fruiting. I mean, I don't even know his real identity besides Frederick Feinstein.
I wonder, I wonder if I'll be able to, to talk to him again in the future of our podcast would be
interesting to check in and if we ever do another gangster movie or something because he seems like
a pretty invaluable resource for, for consulting about gangster movies. I could have had him here
all day. Danny, you're back. Danny, you're not going to believe this. You missed the most fascinating
individual. Oh, no way. No way. Yeah. Yeah. The nicest thing to say about you as well. Yeah.
Oh, wait. You guys talk to Fred. You guys talk to Fred. Frederick Feinstein, otherwise known as
a real cool guy. I met him at my synagogue. Yeah, he's a real cool guy. All right. Yeah.
Yeah. Just the nicest thing to say about you. He says things to do in Denver before you're dead
is the most accurate movie, but still just gave it an 83. We didn't even know that's like his favorite.
Oh, wait. Is he back? No.
Oh, what? What?
I'm wearing some technical audio technical difficulties.
That's a loop. That's a loop. It's a blip. It's a blip. Let's get into some reviews from
some critics that hated this shit. Let's start with 37% from the critics.
Jonathan Rose. Jonathan. Jonathan Rosenbaum from Chicago Reader says, Alas, most of the surprise
and the wit to be found here ends with the title. Oh, show them a fan. And then you'll
Levy says, the Tarantino effect at its worst yet another movie about a relentlessly violent gang
reportedly based on a bet the director made with Tarantino. I know what that story is.
I'm curious. From Washington Post, Rita Kempley gave it a 10 here on Metacritic as I'm broadening
the search a bit ought to be the subject of an obituary not a review. Wow. A creepy film noir
modeled on Tarantino's reservoir dogs. It was a stinking stiff on arrival. Yish, poopy. From
Christian Science Monitor, like a nicking poop version of the usual suspense. Science Monitor.
I'm trying to get all my hot chicks. Oh, they're on it. They're a verified critic.
San Francisco examiner. What's that? What's that omelet? God, it's weird. It just keeps on like
its audio is coming in. I don't know. San Francisco examiner says things to do in the
movie theater until you mercifully die of boredom sums up this witness response to the ordeal of
sitting through this movie. Wow. Entertainment Weekly.
It's a. It's great. It's achievement is that there isn't a single convincing scene in it.
Whoa. I mean, so that's kind of like answering wrong on all the multiple choice answers.
How did you get every single one? And you know what? Like, like that person could say like,
at least Christopher Lloyd had a little bit of heart. Like, you know, that's where it's like,
there's like people. I'm sure picking some of these reviews. Maybe they put some other flavor
in there, but overall, I'm not a single convincing. That guy really, yeah, that guy had a bad day in
the theater. Why is that? Brim hat, Marty? I had a separate one. I walked in the room. Forget about
TV guy magazine gave it a 40 largely vapid borderline homophobic and surprisingly treat.
Yeah. Yeah. Borderline. No, it's homophobic. It's not hiding.
It is not not hiding that in the room with Christopher walking for two seconds. Yeah.
Let's hear some positive reviews from the audience who gave it an average score of 72%
on rotten tomatoes. A five star review from Connor Marshall says probably my favorite movie.
I may be biased because I'm from Colorado and enjoy the setting, which if you are from Denver,
you will recognize a lot of iconic Denver things. Big head Todd and the monsters music union station,
Bluebird Theater, five points, the Denver Natural History Museum. That is where they have a date.
Lakeside, Flat Irons, Denver High Rises and more truly amazing how
despite its stellar cast, great soundtrack in my opinion, an authentic mob feel. I mean,
that's what I'll let you know. Yeah. Growing up in Denver, my dad and I seem to be the only
people who knew about it. I actually kind of like it that way. Something about the simplicity of the
action or job they are ordered to do for Christopher walking eludes to how the mob used to operate.
$50,000 just to intimidate the boyfriend of his son's first love. The action goes terribly wrong
and now Jimmy the saint and his crew with many notable actors, including Christopher Lloyd are
doomed to be buckwheat by the famous hitman, Mr. Shush. And a romantic comedic and sad tale ensues
as Jimmy tries to redeem himself and make amends. I find it very artistic, entertaining,
authentic and highly underrated. Boat drinks. Drinks. That's right. Boat drinks.
From Travis Sims, five stars. One of the greatest appeals of this film is its vernacular,
aside from being cast beautifully by talented actors in diverse roles set in an interesting
story. It's a dialogue that is extremely memorable. That and its great title. And with such a great
cast and dialogue, I'm absolutely stunned as to how this great little film slipped through the cracks
and didn't get a wider audience. Its theatrical run here in Toronto was limited.
Actually, I'm making an assumption. I don't recall listening for it, but before you knew it,
it was gone. Perhaps it wasn't marketed well or supported strongly enough.
What are the outcomes, sir?
This is. Yeah, we'll do one or two more from P flow, five stars top film, one of my all time faves,
boat drinks. Boat drinks. Is trying to get his best to go legitimate until he's dragged back back
into the world of crime for one last seemingly simple mission. They keep on saying simple. I'm
blown away that this is the second time someone has said simple, describing the mission of
roughing up this Pita or sorry, the boy, the love of a Pita like simple. I can't even explain it
quick enough. All Jimi and his eccentric cronies have to do is intimidate their target, but they
make a disaster series of mistakes that result in the death of a woman connected to a powerful
gangster. Before long, Mr. Shush and notorious assassin who never slips up is sent to take down
Jimi and his partners. I am Godzilla and you are Tokyo.
Japan. It's Japan.
He didn't even spell Tokyo right. They spoke to.
K. I didn't. Oh, that guy in that weirdo didn't stick the landing.
Yeah, for your favorite movie, you would think it would. No.
I'll do one more from Japan. Ryan Barber, five stars under appreciated crime drama from the
90s that holds up to this day. Give it a watch. You'll not be disappointed. Then you can fetishize
it like a hipster. You found something remarkable few people have heard of. Wow, spicy. Yeah. Wow.
He's taking swings at everybody. Do you think he'd be mad at us talking about it?
After just finding out about it, you motherfuckers don't even know.
Oh, we don't. I'm the hipster that fucking drank this up and I'm sure I wonder how hipster are
we think about. I wonder if the omelet seems like a more real dude. He doesn't fucking care.
If you watch this movie, I'm sure I'll be like, good, it's a good movie. You should.
You should watch it. Good for you. Ryan Barber is trying to be gatekeeper about it.
Get over it. Take a jail pill, Ryan Barber. Well, I think the polarization.
This kind of is a cult classic I'm realizing. Like I feel like that word gets thrown around
like that phrase. Throwing out around a bit because like, but then those cult classics end
up being just like fucking classics. A lot of the cult classics, if you like, have gotten me.
And so to actually be a cult classic and only like few people love it and the people that do
are really vocally like strong and strong like it. And to hear your review of someone from Denver
was pretty cool too. But that's my read on it. Danny or Brandon, if you want to give
any sort of thoughts on the polarization side of things and then Danny, you're welcome to start
with your review as well whenever you're ready. Yeah. All right. Brandon, you want to go? You want
me to go? Me? Yeah. I just like to like, if you guys have anything to, because I think like hearing
those reviews, knowing that this is a polarizing movie, like why that is a little bit, I like to
touch on that a little bit, but then yeah, just get into some final thoughts. I mean,
let's keep it to a letter box, Danny. Let's keep it to like one or two sentences. Like
why would this movie polarizing? I mean, I'd say, you know, I think your final thoughts maybe. Yeah.
I think you got a lot of like, if you look at what it is entirely, then it's a mess. It's got a lot.
If you want, you want it to be, you want it to be good. It's got a lot of good people in it.
And there it is. There it is. There it is. There it is. There it is. There it is. There it is. There
it is. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. There you go. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Totally. Any final thoughts, a score
you would, you would ascribe to it that I know we got an 83 from omelet already. So I'm curious
to hear how yours compares. Yeah. I mean, I'm, I'm going to say, you guys seem like tight.
Yeah, we go pretty far back. I mean, yeah, we, I've, he's like since, since his kids bomb it's
fun. Yeah. Yeah. However, I could tell some tension when like he could not leave the room
quick enough when you were coming in. Oh, really? Yeah. Two ships passing in the night. Yeah. I
don't want to turn, but we'll, you know, we'll, we'll let that relationship develop.
So yeah, he had some, he had some good points. I'm going to say I come in and maybe, maybe just
an even 80, you know, just keep it, keep it nice. And I mean, there was, there was a, there was
some stuff I liked in this, I'm going to say that a senior omelet are tight. And I mean, like that
80 is also saying like, you know, it's not a great movie. Like we were saying before, but
how much was I entertained and how much fun I was having? I had no problem watching it again. So,
you know, that's where it's like, there, there is some, there's some fun things happening here.
And, you know, it, it feels like a little bit of like a hidden gem in the treasure box that is
like the nineties cinema. So like, you know, I had never heard about it until like maybe like
a couple months ago. Cause you're a fucking hipster. I'm such a hipster. I'm glad you did hear about it.
Yeah. Yeah. Me too. You get 80%? Yeah. I'm going to throw an 80 at it. Call it a D.
Excellent. Excellent. Mr. For me, this movie falls into the category of a good bad movie.
A lot of the stuff in the plot is confounding. It's fun to think about why somebody would make
such a confounding decision for like a direction in the plot. And the things that people say are
so memorable in a way that is also kind of meme-ish and ironic. And that too makes a good bad movie.
And I'm so down to be a part of the cult that is fans of this movie because even though it is
stupid and gross and weird at times, it's not nearly as gross and weird as from the beyond that Danny had me
with. That movie's awesome. And so for that, I give it a 79%. Holy shit. You guys are spacing on this movie.
You guys are writing me? Yeah, I think so. You went over. I'm sorry. This is a surprise to me. I
thought this movie was worth a watch in a group setting with a little drinky or a little smoky
and with some buddy, buddy old pals. That sounds so fun. But maybe just once for me. I do not see
myself wanting to watch this again. This movie was like overall the subject content was upsetting for
me. This was like a down, trodden, dark movie filled with some unredeemables. Maybe just Christopher
Walken. Maybe, yeah, critical Bill and Fiekelfreak was a little rough. But this was like something
to behold. This was something that was weird and just I thought that road shootout scene was a pretty
good little bit of filmmaking in terms of ratcheting tension, having a shootout, having something that
changes the stakes in a big way that alters the second half of the movie. Those are situations
in a movie that I enjoy a lot. But in the context of everything else, it wasn't worth it. Even the
so bad it's good things like aren't going to be worth it for I think the majority of people because
it starts on a really fucked up twisted note. Like right off the bat and then then citing
incident to propel things along is even weirder. And then the second half is kind of strangely
generic. It's such a strange movie. I'm happy I watched it mainly for the fact that I know that
you and us we were going to talk about in the fact that Brandon and I got to watch it together.
That was worth it. I'm glad it was brought to our attention, but I don't think it's a good movie.
I find it tough to rank in the typical sort of way of like, yeah, watchability as well as,
you know, whether it's good or not. But I do think it's not as watchable for me comparing
how you guys kind of expressed it. And I do think it's a bad movie. So I'm going to go pretty low
on this. I think I'm going to go 38. Not 38. I think it's pretty bad. But man, was it fun to
talk about? Was it was it pretty fun to take it in with you, Brandon? But a lot of times I was just
like, Oh my God, is this really fucking happening right now? Like, Jesus Christ. Like, are you serious
movie? Like, I cannot believe what was happening to jail. Yeah. And it goes right to jail. But
I don't know. It's a night. Yeah. It's a 90s Pulp Fiction knockoff that has some really memorable
moments and scenes and is really fucking weird. And more and more, I've been wanting to broaden my
movie horizons and my what I've seen and just to add this to the list, I think was yeah,
it was worth it. And it had some actors that were giving their best performances. I don't
know, Christopher Rock and give it his all. Andy Garcia, I want to watch more of his performances too,
but you know, to close this out. So I would say this is the Southland tales of the 90s. Holy
shit. I mean, you would be the one to judge. So yes, we'll go with that. The brandini. We got to
talk about something. I think it's a magnetized movie, but I feel like we just got to like have a
bonus set of talking about that or something or a commentary or something because that's
it. Like I could do a whole podcast just about the hours. Yeah. Oh my God, what I love to do
is scene by scene. But for now, I want to take one more quick break and I was going to come back
for a little game if you guys are game. Cool. All right, I'll be I'll be quick.
Well,
well, you got your character in.
I started losing the voice. So fun.
That was not really went off the rails.
That was great. Was it not bad? No, it was. Yeah, it was great. I loved it.
I love the shit out of that. Yeah, okay, cool. Yeah, we can bring him back for other guys
should I lose and stuff? I think it was the armlet because it was said Denver.
Uh huh. Denver omelet. Uh huh. It's got peppers. You never brought up peppers. I mean,
is that what's in a Denver omelet? That sounds more like that's like a New Mexico.
Like no, that's a Denver omelet. What's in the omelet, James? Denver omelet would be ham.
It's bell peppers, right? No, that sounds like a Santa Fe. No idea. Yeah. Ooh, that sounds more
like a Santa Fe. Sounds like a Santa Fe. Denver, I feel like maybe some never be like some ham.
Well, I'm thinking moons over my hand is my problem. Really? And that's that's not sort of meat.
It's kind of has some meat. All right. Uh, a Denver omelet has steak and a like steak or some
ham and Canadian bacon or yeah, bell pepper, bell pepper too. So we were both right. We were
both half right. You had the bell pepper. I had the ham together. We were making it bell pepper.
James is our sweet, sweet onion and together we're cheese as well. Don't forget the three of us are
a Denver omelet, you know. Yeah. What part of a Denver? Oh, Denver omelet are you? I'm the bell
pepper. I'm the ham. Cheese or should I be the egg? Yeah, yeah. You can't have an omelet without some egg.
You can't make an omelet. You are such a dirty dog. You can't make a omelet without cracking a few gregs.
No.
I think I'll be fun. I think it'll be fun.
Oh, you bitch is bastard.
He's like, he's the bitch's bastard. All right, let's see.
This pen.
One tip score.
Yeah.
Yeah, she.
Okay.
You guys ready, Freddie?
Yeah, I'm ready.
One more of these.
One finish.
And on off my Glenfitty tonight.
Oh, you turned it on.
And welcome back everybody. We're going to play a game of polarized pods, smoke or fire,
movie or movie edition.
Oh, no, I don't have a. Okay, let me go get a drink.
You don't need a drink, but if you got one, I'm going to get a drink.
If you smoke them.
If you got them, smoke them.
Damn it.
I did it backwards.
Shit.
If you smoked them.
Got them.
That's what I was going to say.
Anyway.
Have you smoked them?
Got them.
Maybe I have already gone there, my friend.
I'm going to get a drink.
I'm going to get a drink on there, my friend.
Maybe I've already started with one or two.
I don't know which step it is anymore.
Smoking them.
Got them.
I like that.
You haven't played this one with us, Danny.
I don't think this is essentially my version of what I've tried to do with the card game.
If anyone's played it out there.
I remember smoke or fire.
Yeah.
What I essentially have tried to do is equate that to the
Ron or Fresh.
But it's
a fire for
I guess I could call it Ron or Fresh.
But it's smoke or fire.
So the scoring system, I'm still figuring out, but I think it'll be fun.
So we're going to give it a shot here.
Let me know when you guys are ready.
I'm ready.
Does smoke mean fresh or fire mean fresh?
I guess fire would be fresh.
Fire would be fresh and smoke would be like P you smokey do do.
And it's going to be pretty straightforward.
I'm not even going to have to explain because I'm going to ask you very direct questions and it's going to work.
So we'll start with Danny.
We're doing all Andy Garcia movies today on Smoker Fire.
So they are all Andy Garcia movies.
So we'll get into the swing of things. It's really just going to be me.
I'm just going to ask you right off the bat.
What is the first movie we're going to start with is the Untouchables.
The Untouchables with Andy Garcia.
Danny, I want you to guess the closest of you can to what the critic score is for the Untouchables.
Oh, I'm going to say a 92.
92.
I'm trying to decide how many points I would be. I would say like three points at least because it's a big thing.
If I get exactly right, then somebody's got to stretch.
One article in clothing is coming off.
But Brandon loses.
You said 92?
Yeah.
So Brandon, is it higher or lower?
Higher.
It is lower.
So then I win.
I'll give Danny a point here.
All right.
I'm going to drink.
There you go.
Okay, so wait, what is the next part?
Okay, so it's, so it is 83.
Just so we know the critic score is 83.
And then Danny.
No, this question would be for Brandon.
Brandon.
Is the audience score higher or lower than the critic score?
I'm trying to work this out. Sorry if this is complicated, but is it?
No, that's okay.
It's higher.
That is correct. So you get a point.
And there would be, there could be some drinks being passed around here too. If you guys, if you guys are feeling it.
All right.
I'm going to dab when I get it, when I get it wrong.
If the audience score is higher, what is that audience score?
Um,
going to go with 92.
It is not.
It is higher or lower than a 92 Brandon.
It is higher.
It is not. It is an 89.
So then I got a point.
Yeah. So I gave you a point. So now it is two points to Danny, one point to Brandon.
I'm figuring it out. I feel like I'm working out like the, uh, who I should be asking which question to at which time.
But I'm working it out. So we're going to move on here to the second Andy Garcia movie.
And we're going to start with Brandon instead because we started with Danny last time.
So Brandon, what you got to do is you got to guess what the critic score is of Godfather part three.
53.
It is not a 53 Danny is higher or lower than that.
I'll say higher, higher. You are correct.
Okay.
And then I would ask Danny.
Is the audience score higher or lower than the critic score?
Which is.
I'm going to say, uh, higher.
You are correct.
Wow. That was a tricky one though.
Not a lot of good recession to that.
Oh, wait, I was supposed to ask you if what the audience score was. Damn it. I'm messing this up.
Damn it. Okay.
I'm going to go with the audience score.
I was supposed to ask you if what the audience score was. Damn it. I'm messing this up.
Damn it. Okay. I'm slowly I'm want to make this game work so bad, but I'm sorry.
I says right now I'm winning. So I am happy.
This is a trial run.
Um, Brandon, I'll give you a chance. What is the audience score for Godfather part three?
62 percent.
It was a 67. You were close.
All right, we're going to try this again.
Is this is are we having are we having fun yet?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
What is the critic score for Ocean's 11?
Danny.
And the the new.
Okay.
A critic score.
Ocean's 11.
I'm going to go.
Oh, 87.
87. It is not 87.
Brandon is a higher or lower than 87.
Higher.
That is incorrect.
Fuck.
It is an 83.
Do I get is the correct score?
So now I ask.
Yeah, Danny, who what is the audience score of Ocean's 11?
I'm going to say 87.
That is incorrect.
Brandon, what is the audience score of Ocean's?
There.
Is it higher or lower than 87?
You think it's higher than 87 for audience?
Yeah.
That is incorrect.
Got him again.
It is an 80 is the audience score for Ocean's 11.
Wow.
So critics like it more than August.
I got to get the question questioning part down a little
bit tighter and what questions I ask in what order.
But I'm going to try one more and we'll and we'll call it.
I could do two.
I have extra bet.
We'll do one more.
Geostorm Geostorm.
Brandon, what is the critic review score for Geostorm?
It must be a critically favored.
56 56 for Geostorm.
It is not a 56.
Ganey is a higher or lower than a 56.
Lower.
That is correct.
Damn.
It is a 17.
Brandon is.
Whoa.
Is the audience score higher or lower than a 17.
Higher.
That is correct.
See now I guess that's the question I've been missing on some of these.
I'm sorry.
Is that one is because that's the polarization part of it.
I'm sorry everybody.
This is rough.
This is rough, but this is how we do these.
Okay.
And then now we go to Danny.
What is the audience score?
Of Geostorm.
Oh.
I'm going to say a 38.
That is close, but incorrect.
Is it higher or lower than 38?
It is higher.
It is a lower.
It is a 35.
Wow.
So Danny has a lot of points here, but we could do one more just for the
hell of it.
If you guys are gay and then we'll wrap it up.
What is the critic score for Mama Mia?
Here we go again.
Danny.
Oh shit.
They, uh, I got like a 78.
It is not a 78.
Is it higher or lower than a 78 Brandon higher?
That is correct.
It is a 79.
You were fucking.
Yeah.
Close Danny.
You were very close.
Danny.
Uh, what is the audience score for Mama Mia Brandon?
It's a 83.
That is incorrect.
Is it higher or lower than an 83 Danny?
Higher.
It is lower as a 66.
Oh wow.
Okay.
It was four to eight.
Danny, I believe was the final score.
Still working out the kinks of the game.
Thank you for joining us.
Right for smoke or fire movie edition.
Trying to work it out.
There's some, uh, okay, I'll stop.
I'm harping on it too long.
It's been a pleasure with you guys talking about things to do in Denver.
When you're dead and you're dead things to do in the polarized kingdom.
When you're alive is talked about.
Yeah.
That shit movies.
With your good buds like Danny and the omelet.
Um, it's a double guest time on this podcast.
Danny, we really appreciate you joining us.
Is there anything else you want to add before we wrap things up?
Or thing else you didn't get to say.
You know what?
I think, you know, uh, you know, what hasn't been said.
The only thing I could say.
Yeah, man.
Bo drinks fellas.
Bo drinks.
Clank, clank, clank.
Chin chin.
Clinky clinky.
Now I will announce our next movie.
If anyone wants to join us next time, we will be watching 1984's Dune directed by David Lynch.
A critically panned movie at 37% and audience favored movie at 65.
I don't know if that's completely favored, but it's definitely better than a 37.
And it was pretty divisive when it came out.
And with the release of Dune part, uh, I think it's a little bit more.
The release of Dune part, uh, Dune done, I believe is what past guest chip had slated it as.
There were a couple others that were really good that he was, he was pitching some Dune
sequel subtitles for.
Um, but we will be, uh, watching the David Lynch movie that he hates to fucking talk
about and we will be talking about it.
