00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:25,680
Welcome to the podcast, everybody, the polarized podcast, the podcast about polarizing movies,

2
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:31,360
the movies that audiences and critics disagree on. According to Rotten Tomatoes, I am James,

3
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:39,000
your host. Welcome in. The movie today is eight mile. If you miss the first seven, it's no problem.

4
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:48,520
They throw you right in and you don't need to worry about it. This is Eminem Feach. From 2002,

5
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:59,400
it has a 75% certified fresh by the critics certified fresh tomato. We got a stinky tomato.

6
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,360
We got a rotten tomato. Tis the namesake. After all, there's got to be some rotten ones out there.

7
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:13,520
It's a 54% from the audience. They do not care for it. Let's find out how we feel today on this

8
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:26,080
podcast. I'm going to bring in my first guy. He's my first guy over here. He's coming. He is the

9
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:37,400
best co-host I have ever had in my life. And let me tell you, I've had just him, but he goddamn it

10
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:43,240
is he the best you could ever compare anything to if you had something to compare it, compare him

11
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,960
to then you would be still be great. Hey, Brandini, how you doing? I'm an

12
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:58,360
uncomparable man. You know, like that. He's an incomparable man. Yeah, so that's me. Hey,

13
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:09,560
thanks, James. Fucking great to be here. He's in. Yeah, well, I'm a man about town and man about

14
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,360
town. Brandon Manhattan. America is one of those towns, you know, you got to see it. America is

15
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:20,960
one of those towns. Detroit's one of those places. And podcasts are one of those things that you can

16
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:29,920
do with your friends. After you watch a movie separately, we come together. Is that my rap is

17
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:36,080
just explaining very obvious things? Well, I mean, that fits the rapping in this movie. Does it not?

18
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:45,520
Hey, just describing what they see. This is what's in front of me. Okay, we're working on it. Anyways,

19
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:51,120
I'm doing good, man. I'm excited to talk about this movie. I'm very excited. It is my first time

20
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,760
seeing it. It is our running theme of kind of music centric movies. I've noticed that we've kind of

21
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:03,400
accidentally fallen accidentally stumbled, which hasn't been like continuous. It's kind of been kind

22
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:09,040
of here and there. We did the doors. We did walk hard. We did walk hard. Now we're going back to

23
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:17,400
serious. Yeah, we shifted. Yeah, a major shift. Now we're shifting back down into the

24
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:23,960
mercury's in retrograde, but with biopics of musicians. Yeah, it's like the eclipse except

25
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:31,200
that the moon is music biopics. Yeah, right. The sun is our glasses. That's why I got mine on. Oh my

26
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:37,960
God, you're wearing your sunglasses. I just noticed. Look at those things. Look at those things. You

27
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:44,040
know what? This is a cool movie and I wanted to be a cool guy for it. So here I am. There's a there's

28
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:49,560
a lot of cool people in this movie. There's a lot of cool stuff in it. There's like temperature

29
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:55,280
wise. Yeah, that's who it does look pretty chilly. There's a lot of jackets. A lot of big jackets.

30
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:03,640
A lot of big jackets. And those big jackets. These fucking huge jackets. Well, just starting. I mean,

31
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,680
what's your favorite jacket? Should we should we break down? Should we get we got to get our

32
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,960
guests on I think for this conversation. Wait, but I'm just personally, you know, I'm for a behind

33
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:22,000
a trash can or whatever jacket. I mean, that's a cool jacket. You know, one of those behind the

34
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:29,160
no trash can ones. I really was into it. I like whether or not you have your mom's spaghetti on

35
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:35,840
your shirt to be able to go through a costume change because he had the potential at that time

36
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:42,160
to convince everyone he was a different guy. I know right. Like he choked and then he could have

37
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,240
like gone to his bag, thrown something else on maybe a little fake mustache and some glasses.

38
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,040
And that's why the dogs in the alleyway were barking at him because he was a totally different guy.

39
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,600
Yeah, there's those dogs that thought he was a different guy. You should have taken the hat off

40
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,440
in that situation. He definitely should have instead of just continuing to blast the Blues

41
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,160
Brothers. I don't know what that was about. And that scene, if anyone is still with us on this

42
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:13,800
reference, we appreciate your. We actually do. And if you are on that reference, you better rate

43
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:21,080
reviewing, you know, you you little devil, you little devil. I think we're a couple or being

44
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:30,680
a couple little devils today. If I do say so myself. This is the little devil that you have

45
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:36,880
stumbled upon as well. Somehow we're doing music biopics with little devils. Yeah, that's our thing.

46
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:42,320
Hey, we didn't sign up for this, but God damn it. Are we going to see it to the end? Right? I don't

47
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,960
even know what that is. But yes, I think we can feel that is what we'll know when it's over.

48
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:57,920
The long and winding road. That leads me to a little devil music biopics.

49
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:06,800
This is this is eight mile the movie with Eminem, the musician. How about that? And this is

50
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:13,280
polarized pod with your we established your cohost Brandon and now let's bring it our special guest.

51
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,240
This is already off the rails, but let's do it. I'm just reestablishing the rules here.

52
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:25,280
I love it. I'm here for and I'm leaving our my introduction to the special guest hanging.

53
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,760
He is returning for yet another app. The last one I can think is death to Smoochie,

54
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:37,520
which was a classic app. Please go go back and visit. Let's bring him in.

55
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:43,200
Years ago. Huh? Two years ago, right? Has it been that long? My God.

56
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:51,120
That's true. Then. Wow. Welcome back, Alex Higgins. Thanks for joining us yet again.

57
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:58,640
Yeah. Yeah. That whole intro was like a long time. Not gonna lie.

58
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:04,320
Thank God you're not lying. Can we just establish there's no lying allowed?

59
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,960
And I'm just started just talking about the movie we're going to talk about already.

60
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:16,880
Yeah, it was a lot of build up to you because you're such a we almost we almost forgot about you,

61
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:22,880
I think you guys are having a good time. I appreciate it. Let's yeah, let's get into

62
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,240
Michael Shannon. You know, that's what we're all about. Yeah, that's where we want to start.

63
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,560
No, we were in the jackets. You're not my real fucking dad, Greg.

64
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:40,000
No, no, he's got a check coming in. He got hit by a car.

65
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,640
He got hit by a car. Damn, did I want to see that come to fruition in some way?

66
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:51,440
I really did not understand why it was so important for his mom to like put on airs.

67
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,360
It's like he didn't know that she was poor.

68
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,320
Yeah, right.

69
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:05,280
Oh, that's just gonna get evicted. I can't. That's too much for me.

70
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,640
Right. Absolutely. Because it's not like he's got anything really going on with him.

71
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:17,200
Yeah, what the fuck? And I can't it was just really a reason to just for him to get upset

72
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:26,400
and for be rabid to. I don't know, like defend his mom. And there's a lot of, you know, his family

73
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:33,760
is what it is. And that's a part of his story. And yeah, I just I

74
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:40,800
I didn't get a lot of it, though, to your point. There is there is so much in that movie that

75
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,520
didn't need to be in the movie, which is surprising because it's not like this movie was long.

76
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:49,600
It wasn't there wasn't. I feel like it could have been kind of a little shorter.

77
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:59,120
That's a TV show. Just how long is it? It's an hour or 45. And I think it just it just needed

78
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:06,400
more meaningful content. It needed more shit in 85 minutes needed more stuff that mattered. And

79
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:13,920
things that would come to some sort of end in fruition in a way that was meaningful.

80
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,440
But Michael Shannon leaves at some point. We don't get to we don't get to see that check.

81
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,240
Man, I wanted to see that check actually come in for you. Yeah.

82
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:34,000
And that's the assumption. You know, it's nothing's going to change.

83
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,600
They were going to use that check to get out of the trailer park and go live in the suburb.

84
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,200
Right. One of my favorite.

85
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,760
I don't even know what I was going to say just now. I'm sorry. It's okay.

86
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:53,920
One of your favorite jackets. What was your favorite jacket? I was I was actually going to say my

87
00:09:53,920 --> 00:10:01,440
first my my first like one of the first notes I wrote was Michael Shannon is way too good for

88
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,920
this movie. I thought that was so funny that had Michael Shannon. Michael Shannon is like

89
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:14,240
I would argue he's like in the top 10 actors like yeah like he's like incredible. I completely

90
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:19,360
agree. And yeah, I mean my introduction to him, even though he was in these movies much earlier

91
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,800
and maybe I'd seen him in the background, but my first big wow moment with him was Revolutionary

92
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:30,720
Road. And that was the same year as Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. And I remember they were both

93
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:36,080
nominated for Best Supporting Actor. And I was like, if Michael Shannon wins this, like

94
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:43,600
I'd be okay with it because he's so good in that movie. He's he's he's fucking amazing.

95
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:50,080
And in that movie and everything else he's in, of course. But I agree seeing him act opposite

96
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:58,400
Kim Basinger gives you whiplash, I think with the acting decisions made because he comes across so

97
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:06,640
natural and she is so put on everything. Unfortunately, which, yeah, I mean, we just

98
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:12,160
right off the bat like that accent man like it doesn't make any contextual sense within.

99
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,600
And that's not I disagree. Or like at least if there was like a mention as to why like,

100
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,600
I don't know, whatever. I disagree. I feel like I just assumed that she was from the South.

101
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,000
Yeah. Right. And she's just living there in the trailer park in Detroit. Yeah.

102
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,960
Yeah. And I guess there doesn't need to be like a contextual plot dialogue line

103
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:40,880
that's attached to it. However, I do think her ability to even have that accent is a little spotty.

104
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:46,160
Unfortunately, Michael Michael Shannons first movie was Groundhogs Day. That's interesting.

105
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:55,680
Oh, yeah. He was a big Chicago guy. He was like dating the love interest, but I'm not sure. I

106
00:11:55,680 --> 00:12:01,040
forget. And then we also watched Vanilla Sky recently and he is in that movie as well. And he is just

107
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:06,560
a tall drink of water that Michael Shannon. Like you see him. Yeah, you see him standing next to

108
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:12,880
Tom Cruise. The man is a tree. He's a redwood. He's definitely one of my favorite.

109
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:22,400
Serious character actors. Yeah. Right. Because like I love like by and large, like if in my mind,

110
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:29,040
if you're more of like if you would ever consider yourself a film buff, character actors is where

111
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:36,400
it's at, you know, because like main stars of movies are pretty vanilla. Sure, they're serviceable for

112
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:42,160
being, you know, getting you through the plot and doing a lot of cool stuff. But I mean, so much of

113
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:48,320
the interest that, yeah, I'm sure we all have in movies is these weirdo characters that are,

114
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:53,600
you know, in the background a little bit. And Michael Shannon is definitely one of those in

115
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:59,200
Revolutionary Road. My God. I love that movie. And that was the first time for me as well.

116
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:06,080
Seeing like who is this guy? Who is Michael Shannon? You know, that's what I keep thinking of

117
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:12,800
is, I don't know why this memory pops in my head, but the scene in the shape of water where he

118
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:20,480
explains why you can't wash your hands twice when you piss. I don't know why that was in that movie,

119
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:25,120
but it's like the first thing I think about. There's a lot of stuff in that movie that you're

120
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:30,080
like, why is this in this movie? It really starts with her masturbating in a tub and you're like,

121
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:36,560
do I need to see this? You know, from jump, you're like, whoa, this is a weird interior

122
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:40,640
into this character that I don't think I needed in order for me to understand her better.

123
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:48,160
But Guillermo del Toro is a weird dude. I mean, I fucking loved Shape of Water. I'll be honest.

124
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:50,480
You're being honest. Thank you.

125
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:58,160
Yeah. I just want to sound like I'm cultured really.

126
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:05,920
I another detail about Michael Shannon, I was watching those like actors going through their

127
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:12,880
film catalog on like fucking Vanity Fair or some shit or like, or whatever those YouTube videos.

128
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:19,280
Yeah. And he was talking about a movie that I actually forget the title of and I hadn't heard

129
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,600
of before even before we started talking about it, but he had such reverence for his like his

130
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:30,080
process and going through making this movie and describing in that interview, he started actually

131
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:36,720
weeping visibly in the interview because he was so taken with the like emotional thrust of just

132
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,680
like describing the plot and the character of that movie. And that's like that may that just

133
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:46,240
affirms so much with me. I'm like, that's my fucking guy right there. Like that guy is the

134
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,680
fucking best, man. And it made me love him that much more. I think it was like 10 years ago. He

135
00:14:53,680 --> 00:15:04,880
his band played like this random fucking dive bar that my band used to play. And I was so excited.

136
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:09,760
And then I found out I was going to be out of town when it happened. I was wrong. I couldn't

137
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:15,280
see it. But yeah, I thought that was so funny that he was just like playing this like 20,

138
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:20,080
like 30 person room, you know, as like this ultra fucking famous star.

139
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:27,600
Older famous, you know, weird sense though, right? Because I think his ultra famousness comes from

140
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:34,160
the superhero stuff from playing Zod, which which funny enough to what James was talking about in

141
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:40,480
the same variety YouTube video. Yeah, you can ask him about Zod. He's like, I don't give a fuck

142
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:48,800
about essentially. Yeah. You learn how to fight on a farm. Like he's just so checked out.

143
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:54,640
Especially with literally he brings in his like probably the state of mind he was in in

144
00:15:54,640 --> 00:16:01,280
being Zod into the interview, which is incredibly checked out. Even though yeah, even like in that

145
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,760
same token, he's very invested in some other movie. But then he talks about Man of Steel,

146
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:11,120
which is one thing. And then he especially gets that point when he talks about the flash, because

147
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:17,040
he's like, at first they talk to me and like, isn't Zod dead? Why do you want me to do this?

148
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:22,080
And then they convinced me because I they asked me and I said, there's no way I'm going to do it

149
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,320
unless it's okay with Zack Snyder. So I called Zack Snyder and he said it was fine. So I just

150
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:32,800
I said, I guess I'll do it. And then previously for you, it was like it was a beautiful experience

151
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,360
and I enjoyed every minute of it. And this one is just like all clinical and just like

152
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:43,120
it's a paycheck. I don't know. They want to paycheck. Yeah. It's cool to as an actor,

153
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:52,080
I'm sure to have that variety of roles and maybe you can throw away that the money doesn't hurt.

154
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,640
You know, yeah, that's the thing, right? Because like I also can imagine him as an actor being

155
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:02,080
like I would much rather be recognized by the public for some of my more intense and serious

156
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,560
roles and the fact that everybody just keeps calling me fucking Zod. I'm getting really

157
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:16,800
I feel like a lot of people don't realize like there's like a lot of movies where like, you know,

158
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,600
unless they're like big fucking blockbuster movies, like there's movies where the actors

159
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:27,360
don't really make that much fucking money. Even like big actors, like I remember hearing some

160
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:31,600
I think it was like some Wes Anderson movie or something like

161
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,600
I said Anderson. Yeah, it came up on TikTok recently. Yep. Oh, was it that? Yeah. And like

162
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:40,160
someone was like, I mean, like five grand or something. I think was talking was talking about

163
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:48,080
it. Yeah. Like, no, you just like you just need to be there. And that is the extent of it.

164
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:56,720
It's a Wes Anderson. Everything about just me being there is paid for, but profit or huge gains

165
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,720
outside of that. It's not nothing. It's so funny. You're like, it's blessed. You're blessed to be

166
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:06,080
in a Wes Anderson movie. And so you just do it. It's so funny. Like even at that level of filmmaking,

167
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,160
like Wes Anderson, you know, he's obviously like quote unquote, India or whatever the fuck. But

168
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,880
his movies, you know, are still like they're, you know, they're theatrical releases.

169
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:21,440
It's just so funny that good level. Yeah. At that level, people are still getting like the homie hook

170
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:26,880
up. You know what I mean? It's like, I can't afford to pay you like more than X amount. You know,

171
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:33,680
that's cool dude. And that is, it's unfortunate. Game must be, yeah, big part not only doing him

172
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:39,040
him a favor or whatever, but also maintaining your relevancy. I'm sure a few of those guys,

173
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:44,320
I bet are like actual good buddies and all that. But I mean, I'm sure some of them like,

174
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,480
I haven't done a movie in a while and it'd be nice to like maintain my relevancy a bit. And

175
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:53,600
they're doing each other a solid, which is kind of kind of nice. Yeah. And yeah, for the payout.

176
00:18:53,600 --> 00:19:02,960
Maybe they get some residuals or whatever. Yeah. But nonetheless, to, if anything, it's an indictment

177
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:09,680
on the industry because Wes Anderson's movies are only their ceiling of profitability for

178
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:16,320
Wes Anderson movie in 2024 is only X amount of dollars. So you're not getting paid well beyond

179
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:22,080
that to star in it. It is being made as cheaply as a movie that size can be made, which is

180
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:28,480
well, you haven't heard that he's doing flash versus Aquaman. I mean, if that's the thing to

181
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:36,560
bring up is that yeah, so much of big budget movies are things. I well, I also feel like

182
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:42,320
they're cresting now at this point. I'm getting a sense. Oh, you bet Aquaman's cresting. Oh,

183
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:48,480
he's cresting so fucking hard right now. Cresting sounds like some weird masturbation thing.

184
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:58,000
It does. Or like a like a Mormon thing, like a Mormon like soaking. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I can't

185
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:05,920
jerk off. So I like fuck my pillow or something. I just rub against my surfaces. That's the funniest

186
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:13,040
shit ever like God loopholes. Yeah. Right. Because it's something teenagers would fucking or not

187
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:18,480
necessarily teenagers, but like college students would do because it's like the rules are going

188
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:25,200
against human nature. So fucking. And then you just think God's up there just kind of like Santa

189
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:30,880
Claus just like oh, oh, almost. Oh, just a tip. Okay. Just a tip. Okay. I guess we're all right.

190
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,320
All right. Going to heaven. Okay. Premarital sex. Nope. You're all right.

191
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:40,320
There. Yeah. There's just a remit going on. Right. There's these rules in order for you to

192
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:47,200
get put on the naughty list. It has to strictly be penetration in this weird sense of the term,

193
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:52,560
as opposed to just like the idea of it happening. You know, it's so silly. I feel like I would

194
00:20:52,560 --> 00:21:02,560
watch a documentary about about soaking. Yeah. I think I would do. I'm sure there's a vice

195
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:07,200
like half hour dog. You know, if HBO made it, it would be like 10 parts.

196
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,600
You're like, I got it in the first hour. It's like, holy shit. That's like my biggest fucking

197
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:20,160
pet peeve these days is like people just making these fucking absurdly long fucking documentary

198
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:26,240
series that just do not need to be that long. Yeah. Right. Totally. But that's in response to

199
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:31,040
not getting something else made. So you're taking advantage of the system, right? And then it just

200
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:38,000
ends up making a product that isn't like you're taking advantage of the system rather than doing

201
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:44,720
good art. Like good art would be something to say, something that you can make a profit on and

202
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:50,400
continue to make, but it is more profitable to make this long drawn out thing because that's how

203
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:55,280
studio executives and producers are thinking about things. They're like, well, no, it has to be a

204
00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:01,600
10 point series. It's really funny. I was I was like interviewing at this like startup podcast

205
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:08,720
company a couple of weeks ago, and I'm like starting to get to the point where like I actually

206
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,720
like I'm like, like I'll interview with people. I'm like, oh, fuck, I know more than you. That's

207
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:20,800
weird. You know, and and this was definitely one of those. And there was like this point of the

208
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:27,120
interview where the the one the person I was talking to was like, yeah, so we wanted to be like,

209
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,360
oh yeah, they said it's like, oh, we're working on the first episode, but it's not done yet because

210
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:39,840
we want it to be 25 minutes. And I was like, why do you want it to be 25 minutes? And they're like,

211
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,320
oh, it just sounds like a good number. And I was just like, what dude?

212
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:54,480
I mean, if anything podcasts have proven that people willing willing to listen to fucking

213
00:22:54,480 --> 00:23:00,000
two hours, three hours of shit. Oh, no, this was this was she was saying it wasn't that long yet.

214
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:07,440
She they needed it to be 25 minutes long. It wasn't that long yet. And with like with like

215
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,400
narrative, it's it's not like a three person talking thing, you know, it's like a highly

216
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,520
pretty, yeah, like whatever. But yeah, not like our intro, Brandon.

217
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:24,480
Okay, I just thought that was so funny. I was like, people are, I'm like, you're really like

218
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,960
crippling yourself creatively. If you're just like, I need this to be exactly, you know,

219
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:34,160
in this range, like 25 to 27 minutes or whatever. It's like, why? Why? What the fuck?

220
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:40,400
At the same time, I mean, we've talked about this recently in these musician bio picks

221
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:46,640
about how creating restrictions for yourself allow you to operate creatively within these

222
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:52,640
boundaries that ends up creating really great art. Because if you just have, you know, an example

223
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,480
would be like a cold play, for example, because they suck now because they have all the money in

224
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:02,240
the world. So then they just make all of these really generic boring, but very highly produced

225
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,960
and like very great sounding things. But they don't have the restrictions on themselves that

226
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:12,560
most bands have just innately when they start is like, we only have this much time in the studio,

227
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:18,720
so we need to rip it. And as bands get bigger and whatnot, it just, yeah, there's sometimes

228
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,720
restrictions are good. The thing I'll give this movie credit for even comparing it some of the

229
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:30,800
other music kind of movies out there is that it does have those limitations and maybe to its

230
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,840
detriment as well. But after watching some of those movies where and seeing walk heart, of course,

231
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:43,120
where it's like, we need to get through his entire life in this life. It was kind of nice to just

232
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:49,120
have this blurb. That's a key moment in this dude's life where he's about to try to make

233
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:55,840
a name for himself and go off on his own. Maybe that part would be even more interesting as seeing

234
00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:02,960
that element. You don't see that in this movie, but I do. I do appreciate that it is limited to just

235
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:10,960
him losing and chickening out on a rap battle to winning a rap battles is the big arc. And obviously,

236
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:18,080
there's much deeper things at play, but it's not him as a baby all the way up to him being a star and

237
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:23,120
then going through some issues and then falling out of stardom and coming back. It's really,

238
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,920
I don't know how long this probably takes place over a couple of months.

239
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:35,440
Yeah, no, that's a really good point. I never thought about that. Just having this key moment

240
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:42,800
of his life be the whole movie is, yeah, that was a great choice. I definitely

241
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:50,080
didn't need to see baby M&M. There's no point really. But yeah.

242
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:56,960
Yeah. And it's like, I like the ellipsis at the end as well, where you get the idea that

243
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:03,120
there are certain things that you can't maybe change about the maybe the city that they live in,

244
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:09,360
that they're trying to either improve or change or the people around them that they're closest with,

245
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:14,640
that they're also trying to do the same and kind of coming to acceptance and

246
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:21,760
into the things that you can control, which is your own life. However, yeah, I do think, yeah,

247
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:26,640
it could have been a lot deeper on along some of those elements. And I think those limitations,

248
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:35,680
maybe hinder it a bit as well. But him as I mean, what do you guys think of M&M to begin with as a

249
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:41,840
musician? You know, even Alex and I hadn't seen this movie, but I'm seeing it referenced and

250
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:48,400
fucking scary movie three and then other things. And of course, new him as a as a musician. But

251
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:56,400
how about how about you, Alex? What do you think of M&M? Just even pre eight mile and or apart from

252
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:09,680
movie movie stardom? I mean, as like a white kid in like 2000 2001, like, I feel like, you know,

253
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,440
you're just gonna you're gonna listen to M&M unless you're a fucking dork or something.

254
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:24,000
Like he was just gigantic. And yeah, I mean, he he was just like a fucking superstar. I think

255
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:31,040
one of my first one of the first like physical albums I ever owned was probably one of the

256
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:39,120
first M&M records. And like, I feel like I sort of went through a I went through like a sort of,

257
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:44,720
I don't even know what you call it phase, I guess, because like, I liked him a lot. And then for some

258
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:50,880
reason, I got into this phase where I was like, Oh, rap music six for like a year or two, for some

259
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:59,760
reason. And I just didn't like him. And then and then I grew older. And I mean, I don't know,

260
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:06,160
like the first couple records fucking slap, and then his his last couple records are their dog

261
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:12,560
shit. Like, I think that's my main my main thing about him. He's also sort of just become irrelevant

262
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:21,120
irrelevant and like seems to be really trying to stay relevant. And I don't know, it just doesn't

263
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:27,120
seem like it's working out very well. It's hard, though, to say that it's not working out because

264
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:34,480
at the same time he seems to get big streams when he does these new tracks, he gets a little bit of,

265
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:40,640
you know, kind of conversations in the trades about like, Oh, he's talking about this person

266
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:47,680
or he's going after X person and his collaborations are a lot. And that's came

267
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:54,480
collaborations to after, I'd say like recovery was was around that time because I remember being

268
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:59,600
like relatively like, Oh, I think relapse is pretty fun. I don't know. On core was kind of fun, too.

269
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:05,280
It's like, got some freight edges, like it's rough, but I was having fun with it. And then recovery

270
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:10,400
and whole vibe of that album and all the collabs really changed his sound per song

271
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:17,200
that he was on. And I think that's yeah, I definitely definitely lost out on fandom of him

272
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:23,600
and haven't really caught up with him past. Yeah, recovery on, I'd say. Well, I guess like

273
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:31,840
going back to when Brandon was saying, you know, you think it is working out like I

274
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:37,360
that's I guess that's not the measurement I was I was taking in my head. The measurement I was

275
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:44,240
taking in my head is just like, I don't know. It's you know, just if it's good or not. Yeah.

276
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:51,920
I feel like it's it's hard, you know, to in his defense, like you said, it's really hard,

277
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,720
especially like when you get older and you stop, you sort of run out of shit to talk about.

278
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,240
Like, yeah, I feel like I feel like there's a reason why

279
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:08,880
why Andre 3000 instead of doing a rap album came out with like the experimental jazz album,

280
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:16,160
you know, because it just I don't know, like I feel like in certain types of music like punk

281
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:22,320
or hip hop or whatever, like, when you get to a certain age, it's just like, dude, just fucking

282
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:28,640
stop. Like, like, come on, man, like the only the only album that I can think of at the top of my

283
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:38,240
head that is completely like an outlier is is that fucking? What's that? What's the group?

284
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:47,920
tribe. What is it? tribe? Yeah. Oh, I did I guess it right? You did. Yeah. Yeah. Even like if I

285
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:52,560
isn't around anymore, and that fucking album is amazing. And it took forever for them to come

286
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:59,120
back to you. But it's so that's why I think it's an outlier because it's just like every part of

287
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:08,480
that recipe, like with life being dead and like, you know, it being so long after they've released

288
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:13,280
anything, you would think like if someone was like, Oh, do you think this is going to be a good

289
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:18,640
album? I would say like absolutely not. Yeah. But then it comes out and it's like fucking incredible.

290
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,960
It's like as good as their other stuff. It's insane. It has no right to

291
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:31,200
it's better. It's better. Yeah, I think the the only thing I don't I think the one thing that I

292
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:38,960
don't like about Eminem and it's not even really him as a person. It's more his fan base is Eminem

293
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:47,120
has sort of become like and it's you know, I'm saying this as someone who's like almost 35 years

294
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:54,080
old, but like he's like the old heads like, oh, God or something. You know what I mean? It's always

295
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:59,360
like, yeah, they don't they don't make you know, the rappers aren't like back in the day when it

296
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:04,880
was like Eminem and and you know, all these guys or whatever. And it's just like, that is like the

297
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:11,280
laziest fuck. I fucking hate that shit so much. It's the laziest shit like, oh, they don't make

298
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:17,600
music like this anymore. It's like, well, so shitty. Maybe it's awful. Spend 10 minutes looking. Yeah,

299
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:23,520
straight. It's been 10 minutes and you'll find good shit. There's more music than ever.

300
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:31,040
Every moment of your life, there's there's more. Just like with, you know, I'll continue to say

301
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:36,800
that Coldplay fucking blows and just like how Coldplay blows. That's how I feel about Eminem

302
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:49,760
too is that there is a immature like phase in perspective that has continued to be your staple

303
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:56,880
that you always carry into the next thing because that's what you think people want. And to a degree,

304
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:02,560
they do because there's a lot of very immature or non complex fans that listen to Coldplay or listen

305
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:11,680
to Eminem where I it made sense at the time like why he was so big because he was taking the piss

306
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:18,880
out of shit and 90s early 2000s was all about being edgy and taking the piss out of stuff,

307
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:25,360
never being too serious. But then also to he incorporated a different side of what hip hop

308
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:33,200
could be, which is very much more like thought process emotional stuff in a different way,

309
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:39,520
as opposed to being very descriptive of your environment and talking so so great in hip hop

310
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:46,480
about what's going on at the time. But you're not evolving at all. You're just using a lot of what

311
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:52,000
you've been doing into your new stuff. And I would just argue with, you know, that it's,

312
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:57,520
it's definitely possible because there's plenty of artists that do this is, but we're growing up,

313
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:02,400
like you're growing up, we're growing up, I have interests and I have things that I'm,

314
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:07,760
you know, thinking about considering now at a different age. And there's no reason why an artist

315
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:13,200
couldn't represent that in lyrics as they get older as well. But the fact is, is that you just

316
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:20,080
hold so much on to what made you popular, which it doesn't work for me. It's just this old hat.

317
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:28,880
It's this very contrived. It just sucks because I get that it makes you money, but it just has

318
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:35,840
nothing interesting to say. And so much of M&M stuff has been that for me is like, I don't,

319
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:41,360
you're not saying anything interesting. You're really just trying to like capture more of

320
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:48,720
what people liked about you 20 years ago. And that's wholly uninteresting to me to watch somebody

321
00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:53,440
not be able to come to terms with their own reality and think that they can just continue to bank

322
00:34:53,440 --> 00:35:01,200
off of their past reality. That just sucks. Anyway, you look at it. So like, I, but also too,

323
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:06,720
like my M&M upbringing as well as like, I was always the guy that liked hip hop music through

324
00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:13,840
and through. And I was like, this guy is fine. This guy's okay. You know, I'm,

325
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:24,720
I can get on board with a new perspective for sure, but I am not going to, I've never been. And I,

326
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:31,120
this is my opinion of a lot of M&M fans is he's such a great lyricist. He says things so quickly.

327
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:38,320
He says things with, you know, there's so many words in a stanza or in a, you know, whatever.

328
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:43,920
And that I couldn't give a fucking shit less if there's a lot of words in there. You're saying

329
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:50,320
nothing in how, with however many words it takes like that. Like then I don't care.

330
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:56,240
That's the Anthony Ketus approach. Yes. And Anthony Ketus is a great example of this of doing

331
00:35:56,240 --> 00:36:01,520
the same thing where it's like, Oh, I just people like reading the tea leaves wrong and going like,

332
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:08,480
Oh, the reason we're popular and we make money is because of words and music sounding like what it

333
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:17,520
did 20, 30 years ago. No, people were interested in you because you encapsulated a feeling encapsulated

334
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:23,520
a sound of that time. And I'm going to ride and die with you because of that, but I'm growing up.

335
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:31,520
I need you to fucking grow up and stop being this little bitch guy that just fucking things said

336
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:37,520
he's so cool because he was popular then or they were popular. Fuck you. Coldplay again.

337
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:45,520
Like Jesus. I just like, I would put coldplay in a fucking body bag because it's

338
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:53,520
wow. It's the same shit that he did. Like, okay, I'm going to Coachella this year. I'm going to Coachella

339
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:59,520
next week. And I was just telling James about this. Now with TikTok, there's this whole fucking thing.

340
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:05,520
There for Brandon of the slamming the fist. I can hear the. Okay, sorry. There's this whole thing.

341
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:11,520
There's this whole thing on TikTok now where it is people who they start the TikTok going,

342
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:17,520
I've went to the last three Coachella. So I had figured it out. Let me tell you about how to do it right.

343
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:23,520
And you're just like, wait a minute, you're not considering way more time than it's been that it's

344
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:31,520
existed. You're just solely like, oh, I only want, you know, I like I'm, I'm going to be an expert based on

345
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:39,520
little like little information or little time period going on. And I'm going to just say, oh, these things are good.

346
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:48,520
And one of those with new Eminem fans and new Coldplay fans or whatever is it's like, it's, it sounds really good.

347
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:59,520
It's really well produced. But at the end of it, it's like, you don't have an experience because if you did, then you would have a more complex understanding about how you're working through life and how a band and yourself can grow.

348
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:13,520
And if that band's not doing that, just because the music sounds popular, like it did 20 years ago, who gives a shit like you're not, you're not growing, you're not being interesting, you're just giving people what they want.

349
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:28,520
And I get that Aldis Hussle said it right instead of Orwell where it's like, let's just give people what they want. That's all that, that's, you know, that's how you get popularity.

350
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:47,520
You know, that's how you appease people is to just give them what they want. But I'm such a firm believer of like push people if you care about somebody like give them something interesting to chew on rather than just the same shit that they're always going to like.

351
00:38:47,520 --> 00:39:01,520
And yeah, overall, that's my opinion of Eminem is like, yeah, it was recognizably good because of the fresh perspective back in the day. But he has just continued to just give the same shit over and over for decades now.

352
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:14,520
And I just don't understand how you can be like, Oh, I'm still going to hold him to high regard because he was good 20 years ago, even though he's made complete shit recently.

353
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:34,520
I just don't get it. I am not familiar enough with him to know like his entire catalog. I'd say the first phase what drew me to him was the shock value and was the storytelling in the in the conceptual ideas behind his albums.

354
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:49,520
And the little interstitial things that catered to the out yeah the whole album listening experience as an edgy teenager hit at a time and then growing along with him.

355
00:39:49,520 --> 00:40:09,520
Yeah, as you're saying he grew and everything and I I'm sure there's at this point he's done so much he's had to be repetitious with some of his stuff but I would say that like that recovery portion was definitely a departure from his sound and his ideals and ways of writing music as in terms of being

356
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:27,520
more poppy and more collaborative and his lifestyle of course and in the concept behind that was very different than very different than relapse which so was silly and and drugging about murder and all this other fucked up shit which I kind of prefer.

357
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:39,520
And but it's a matter of whether you like those changes or not I guess because yeah I don't and Coldplay is another band that I don't know.

358
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:57,520
And I think they're more recent changes but you know even going through our Max Martin thing we went through Max Martin as a producer and even going back to Coldplay and hearing a little bit of Max what Max Martin did with them was cool to see them bring in a new sound and them being very purposeful and trying to do maybe something different but also something

359
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:17,520
different and I think both Eminem and Coldplay are very from my knowledge guilty of wanting to be mainstream be relevant when they're I think they're kind of way past their their heyday both of them and this for Eminem is like his his absolute heyday I mean this is like right before on core which I think

360
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:32,520
where things start to die so he is like working like he gets this I think it's floated the script and idea of making this movie I think when he's doing Marshall Mathers and then agrees to do it.

361
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:52,520
Yeah around Eminem show I guess but yeah he was taking taking meetings with Jimmy Ivey right because because Eminem wanted to be a movie star because that's how popular he was and he's like I can you know because you get that Eminem's a very smart guy a very savvy guy

362
00:41:52,520 --> 00:42:21,520
not that bad of an actor either. He's a great performer I mean he's done a lot of yeah you can if you watch his music videos and everything like he knows how to act in front of a camera it gets a little one note I guess at certain points but he carries the movie for a starring role like very well and it gets you excited about him as an actor if he ever if you would ever wanted to do or take it more seriously and he's done other cameos that are great as well

363
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:27,520
but I was yeah I very impressed and I get why this movie was hot shit you know.

364
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:50,520
I mean so much of that benefits from having a I think it was like three months period of time leading up to the actual filming of this movie where the director worked on him being able to act and like really going through a lot of the movie and working with him to do it which is an incredibly smart idea.

365
00:42:50,520 --> 00:43:11,520
And I mean I've also heard from plenty of actual established actors that they would love for you know there to be a month or two month period of time before shooting, where you just get together as a cast start, you know getting into the characters kind of this more free expression

366
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:33,520
situation where you can work out stuff before cameras actually start filming and so glad this happened because yeah I would agree by and large that this movie isn't by Eminem at least other people sure but like Eminem at least is not poorly acted.

367
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,520
I think Eminem does a pretty good job.

368
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:46,520
I enjoy his performance he carries a lot and I think he's all I wanted more of was to see more of him rapping well with music attached.

369
00:43:46,520 --> 00:44:13,520
There was a nice like build up to that and to get him in the final rap battle with a beat rapping I'm like, man I wish almost like I had the whole movie of this and of course he's doing you know, little kind of acapella stuff here and there little battles in front of food trucks and and what now with exhibit but I was just wanting a little bit more of him doing what he's best at as

370
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:31,520
well. Although I was very impressed with his acting and I think the yeah the weakest was was probably Kim basing your for for me unfortunately and I think just I chalk it up to just being a little bit more melodramatic with some of her acting decisions.

371
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:43,520
And that's where it just starts. Yeah, like it it starts to tell you how dramatic things should be and how dramatic or how sad you should feel rather than having it just kind of develop naturally.

372
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:48,520
It seemed a little forced when she was on on screen.

373
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:49,520
Yeah.

374
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:50,520
Yeah.

375
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:56,520
Yeah, there definitely seem to be a little bit of that.

376
00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:14,520
I mean, did you think of like his his like actual performances and everything like in rapping like when he did get the chance to show off that side of himself did you how did you enjoy that did you like this like some of those rap battle scenes like in the parking

377
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,520
garage and whatnot.

378
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,520
I thought that most of them were very uncomfortable.

379
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:22,520
Very cringey.

380
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:23,520
Yeah.

381
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:31,520
Like, which is funny because it's like I I like rap battles. I think that's very entertaining.

382
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:39,520
One of the one of the things about the rap battles when there was music with it. It really seemed like no one was on beat.

383
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,520
Yeah, which is really fucking weird.

384
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:50,520
Yeah, I felt that definitely with the acapella stuff which is naturally you don't have like a common thing but I know what you mean.

385
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,520
Why does no one.

386
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:57,520
You know, it's like it's like they they weren't rapping to the music that's playing.

387
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,520
Probably accurate.

388
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,520
Absolutely movie totally.

389
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:15,520
Didn't have like a monitor or something to like the sound to them because you get the crowd reacting and all that and scenes but I almost imagine the others not a feed coming to them where they can hear it well enough for me.

390
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:16,520
Do we want to.

391
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:17,520
Idiard.

392
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:21,520
Yeah, let's just key notes.

393
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:40,520
Yeah, I mean, I guess since we've just been talking so big about Eminem and all these things we don't have to go piece by piece but definitely like we can we can go through this opening portion of him in town broken up with his girlfriend and choking at this at this

394
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:47,520
rap battle and getting getting the shitty car and meeting Michael Shannon.

395
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:52,520
I'd say yeah if we have any notes kind of for this first first portion.

396
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:58,520
I have written down arms getting tired practicing rapping.

397
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:02,520
Yeah, right because he's doing he's doing this in the mirror.

398
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:07,520
Yeah, it's like, you know, it's it's a full body performance.

399
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:08,520
Yeah.

400
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:15,520
And then and then I just wrote the name Jimmy rabbit because I thought I think it's so funny. I don't know why it's Jimmy Wabbit.

401
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:30,520
It's funny. It's very it's very childish and silly. And it's one of those things that I never really got over during the movie because there's some really serious and gangster parts of this movie and people continue to just refer to him as be

402
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:35,520
rabbit or rabbit in general and you're like man this is just not that cool.

403
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:55,520
That's where a lot of the parody came from at least in scary movie three I remember. I forget exactly what they call him but also robot chicken there's a robot chicken sketch I remember where it's a Bugs Bunny doing a rap battle with Daffy duck just based on just because of the name.

404
00:47:55,520 --> 00:48:12,520
That was one of the first things that I remember like I remember thinking about in the movie was like, is that scene from one of the scary movies where they they talk about the difference in a mouse and rat, which is like, you know, what you want to

405
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:25,520
do is you want to be like, I don't know about how can you wake up dead. No, let's say let's say some stuff about scary movie because we're in particular talking about scary movie three, which was a very nasty movie in our lives.

406
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:33,520
I feel like in particular, the first two was a little bit before us, but three really hit us at the right time.

407
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:45,520
I loved all all three of it like I, yeah, I watched all three of them coming out but yeah, I mean I remember I tried to rewatch the first scary movie like a year couple years ago and it.

408
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:51,520
Holy shit it is incredibly cringy and problematic.

409
00:48:51,520 --> 00:49:02,520
So bad. Everything is a fucking is a some kind of homophobic or or transphobic like everything. It's so funny.

410
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:22,520
There's just like there's like a fucking homophobic joke like every two minutes. But yeah, that just that like bit of like those guys was so was fucking funny like the and I couldn't stop thinking about their their characters from scary movie three, which

411
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,520
obviously is very early Kevin Hart. Yeah.

412
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:29,520
Yeah, especially that scene when they're shooting the paintball gun.

413
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:39,520
Right. And then he like he pulls out the roller brings out a roller and then just rolling paint on people driving.

414
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:53,520
That's a shit where it's like yeah, I'm watching the parody before the actual original thing, but it still hits which goes to show how funny that that movie was and it was coming coming from a funny place.

415
00:49:53,520 --> 00:50:06,520
I think the paintball thing is is just such a great little colorful part of the world of this movie that is not is like inconsequential to any sort of plot or anything.

416
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:19,520
Oh, but it also has like a nice tension to that scene to or like they hear the cops coming the car breaks down. It's almost like a Tarantino sort of thing that could that could build up from there.

417
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:29,520
But yeah, either more of that or a little bit more depth in other areas areas could have been nice. But you get the camaraderie with with these guys. You can tell like they've grown up together.

418
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:39,520
They're they're vying for rabbits skills and in certain ways. I thought that so so future.

419
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:45,520
Is that before or after I know that we know so well. Yeah, these days.

420
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:50,520
Definitely before his fame. Yeah, I don't know if it's.

421
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:54,520
But yeah, I couldn't stop thinking about that either.

422
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:55,520
Right.

423
00:50:55,520 --> 00:51:06,520
The future. The rap name is also wrote Captain America is not good at rapping.

424
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:08,520
Yeah.

425
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,520
I forget his name. Anthony Mackie.

426
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,520
Oh yeah.

427
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:18,520
That's maybe that's what I'm feeling like he's a presence.

428
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:33,520
It doesn't quite work. But then finding out at the end that he is a prep school guy or something that kind of helps its case a little bit more where it's like he seems a little little odd man out because maybe because he just was never like saying much and always just kind of standing in the background.

429
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:38,520
I'm like, I want to find out more about this character, but they're not really giving much. So I guess he's just.

430
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:47,520
That was definitely a huge that was definitely a huge problem with the movie is that there's no like really defined antagonist.

431
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:54,520
Yeah, I guess you could say it's like the the other like the opposing rap crew or the world.

432
00:51:54,520 --> 00:52:11,520
But like, if you should at least like focus on one of the characters in that crew, and you could have done it with Anthony Mackie. I feel like the payoffs of like him talking about how he's a prep school kid would have been better.

433
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:22,520
I still like I still love that moment, you know, just as like as an audience member who's like rooting for the, you know, the main character, you know, we all fucking loved him like getting fucking.

434
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:32,520
Shit or whatever. But but they definitely would have been more satisfying if we if we followed Anthony Mackie a little more in the movie.

435
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:49,520
Absolutely. And I was also thinking about the way this movie could have been set up that was more interesting because I think I'm getting a sense that you know I'm not alone in that there's a lot of just things in like what this movie is trying to do and it doesn't get deep with it or doesn't fully

436
00:52:49,520 --> 00:53:07,520
accomplish. Like, what needs to actually happen in order in order for this to be an interesting story. And one of those things is the idea of like the big boss, where he is battling his way up to the, you know, the ultimate.

437
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:29,520
I did enjoy that there was a game almost in this movie with the rap battling where the rabbit has to work his way to the top through his rap skills. I did like that idea but the way this movie does it is so minimal and so quick.

438
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:42,520
I had kind of mixed feelings about it because yeah it's like he choked on the first rap battle that's how the movie started but for him that to be the fruition of the movie for him to do well and win a rap battle was something that he was putting off and denying for a long time and

439
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:57,520
seemed that he wanted something different. And I guess that rap battle is kind of like the first step in going down the direction that he wants to go in but that him not choking I guess is another antagonist you know like living at home.

440
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:11,520
There's just a lot of different like factors that are all kind of holding against him and then like even the things that should be good in his life end up kind of souring so it really is just him at the end which is a weird feeling kind of at the end of you know.

441
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:12,520
Well, it's got nothing.

442
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:21,520
That's the other thing is like you set up this movie and like it's set up really well. I love I actually love the first like the first scene.

443
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:31,520
Yeah, I love that he would have started a classic. It's a classic story like you know, here's here's our protagonist here's the issue that he's having.

444
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:36,520
You know he's not confident enough in himself so down and out.

445
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:48,520
He's he's super he he does he's he doesn't believe in himself and like that's what he to me that the first thing is saying this is what he needs to overcome in order to like gain whatever he wants to gain.

446
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:58,520
But the thing that personal self confidence. Yeah, the thing that they lost is like, I don't I don't remember any parts of the movie where like where he's like working on that.

447
00:54:58,520 --> 00:54:59,520
No, not at all.

448
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:08,520
Shit just kind of like happens and then he is not choking anymore. There wasn't really any like thing that he had to get over in order to not choke.

449
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:09,520
You know what I mean.

450
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:33,520
I know totally which is like what we want but in order to get a good performance out of M&M we just kind of need better actors to happen upon him so that he can react in this very linear way of like where the this shit sucks you're going to rise above it and you

451
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:44,520
never get a lot of growth or interior into how he's feeling about stuff that I feel like would be so beneficial to the movie.

452
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:53,520
Yeah, it's kind of him trying to survive and then it comes down to am I going to go with future and try to do more of these rap battles am I going to go with this other guy.

453
00:55:53,520 --> 00:56:12,520
And then he starts getting outside pressure from trying to having to contribute. If he's going to live with his mom and then he starts to go with more the other other direction but even that was like out of necessity to show to save face for his mom was like oh I'm trying to record an album with this guy that

454
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:28,520
wasn't anything that he really wanted to do in his own art and soul it seemed like and then the if there was any big turnaround. It was when they were talking with his friends and he essentially calls them all out like we guys keep fucking talking

455
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:33,520
and talking and we don't do fucking shit about ass.

456
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:45,520
In between in between all that you know it's there's this whole other subplot about this house, you know where some bad shit has happened and then they go to burn this the house down.

457
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:57,520
Like that's a whole other side quest of the fucking movie that is interesting creates a nice vision I really like the visual the burning house and then dancing on the outside and just like the commentary on.

458
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:08,520
Yeah Detroit at this time. If I knew what, like, what that was a metaphor for.

459
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:25,520
I would I would have I would have loved that scene, but it's like, there's just like a bunch of like metaphor shit that happens but like the movie doesn't present a meaning for no there isn't enough depth I completely agree there isn't enough depth I get that they're trying to maybe

460
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:41,520
like there's there's a little bit of like the broken windows thing of like things that shit wouldn't happen if that house wasn't there if they're if you we didn't wake up every day and see our city look like fucking shit and maybe this bad shit wouldn't continue to happen because people live like they treat

461
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:56,520
it as a whole other side of how it's how it looks so let's burn it down and like that I like that idea of that was there subtract addition by subtraction for the city of trying to make a difference in in in their world and how they

462
00:57:56,520 --> 00:58:01,520
had to fuck do we post to keep peace you guys remember that.

463
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,520
And remember it's so cold in the D.

464
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,520
We got to look up that.

465
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,520
Okay, so old music video it's funny as fuck.

466
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,520
It's funny as fuck.

467
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:23,520
That makes me think too about how Detroit plays a factor into this, because this movie is repping Detroit.

468
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:26,520
You know what, yeah, it's a huge part of the movie.

469
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:40,520
I'm like I'm trying to understand and the movie does. Okay, I just wish it did better of like what are the influences happening in Detroit that make be rabbit sound the way that he does.

470
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,520
I would have been interesting to go down.

471
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:52,520
I wanted some of that where it was like, I love that they're talking about the dynamics of West Coast East Coast in the car conversations.

472
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:53,520
Yeah.

473
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:59,520
What is the connective tissue that makes Detroit sound in particular, like unique.

474
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:04,520
Yeah, because I love the idea of them go to like a house show or something.

475
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:09,520
Right, like some sort of representation of like this is what's also happening in Detroit.

476
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:11,520
We get none of that.

477
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,520
Like we really only get the rap battle place.

478
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:19,520
And then there is a house party, but they're just playing to pocket.

479
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,520
Oh yeah, that was the other Detroit house music or something have like some Detroit house music.

480
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:38,520
Something like something that may like that's like this is where like Eminem's influences like this is what Detroit's about, you know, yeah, seriously, like the only fucking music this is like it's like.

481
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:40,520
That was like smalls and to box.

482
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:44,520
Yeah, it's just it's like very, very, very popular.

483
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:46,520
East Coast.

484
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:47,520
Yeah.

485
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:57,520
I love that's very expensive to license on the soundtrack. You know what I mean? Yeah, Eminem, Eminem put it together all himself. And I mean, there are some there's some good songs. I mean, the far side and.

486
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,520
There's obviously, yeah, there's definitely good songs.

487
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,520
I would have.

488
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:07,520
Representative there, but they're, but they're so obvious. You know what I mean? They're just like all fucking.

489
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:12,520
Yeah, this is what was popular on the radio when this movie, you know, the time period this movie.

490
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:13,520
Yeah.

491
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:25,520
But where is the going to the club, right? Where Eminem isn't just rap battling. He's also M.C. maybe or like doing something else in Detroit.

492
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:33,520
Like our POV to all of this movie is so five places and is making cars.

493
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:34,520
So small.

494
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:40,520
He helps make cars. How much Detroit can you get? Michael Shannon has a Ford t-shirt.

495
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:41,520
I know.

496
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:44,520
He does. That's so funny.

497
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:53,520
Yeah, that going back to like some kiss sort of the start of them is that we're kissing the movie is that I really wish.

498
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:55,520
It's very rock city.

499
01:00:55,520 --> 01:01:07,520
I really wish that they would have explained why it's like I get okay his mom's an alcoholic and she's like, yeah, you know, he's not very good at life or whatever, but like.

500
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:22,520
She's I wish they would have explained the backstory of their relationship more because what it comes off as without that explanation is that is that Jimmy Rabbit is just a fucking brat.

501
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:33,520
You know what I mean? Like in my perspective, like this time. Yeah, I picked this up this time. But what I would say is like as a kid seeing this when it came out, you don't pick up on that.

502
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:34,520
Yeah.

503
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:46,520
You know, you're like your mother is just being a piece of shit and you're frustrated at your plight in life. But totally this time around, I was like, he's actually kind of a fucking stinker.

504
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:58,520
Like he's a fucking brat. He goes in there. His mom is nice enough to give him give him the car. And he's like, yeah, give him a fucking car.

505
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,520
Like it's a car. I know that it doesn't.

506
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:10,520
Yeah, I know it's a beater, but she gives him a fucking car and then let's says, oh, you can stay here as long as you want.

507
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:19,520
And then his like one of his first reactions is he opens the fridge and he's like, no milk. Yeah, that was a little bit much.

508
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:21,520
What a fuck. Yeah.

509
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:32,520
Can you fucking calm down, which is like it would make sense if you had like a backstory of like how she was never around when he was growing up or something like that.

510
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,520
Like you assume that concern for his little sister.

511
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:37,520
Yeah, I can wear that.

512
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:45,520
Also that too. Is that his little sister or his daughter daughter, his daughter with his with his girlfriend. Is that Oh, I thought it was.

513
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,520
So one of those little trailer.

514
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,520
I thought it was little sister.

515
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:53,520
That is one of the most confusing fucking plot. I guess we are confused here.

516
01:02:53,520 --> 01:03:04,520
If it was daughter, man, I thought he would be a lot more hands on very loving, very loving, but he comes across as like older brother to me, but I don't know.

517
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:08,520
I was so fucking confused because I was like,

518
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:24,520
if that is your daughter, why have you been away for so long? Exactly. Because obviously, obviously you care about kids because you you let your chick have the apartment or whatever because she's pregnant and the car let her have the car, which we find out that is not true.

519
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:26,520
Right.

520
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:35,520
I don't that that whole thing is so fucking confusing because she comes to his work and she's like, me me me and he's like,

521
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:39,520
Oh, he saw her in the club and she was drinking.

522
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:45,520
And then I feel like there's this whole moment where he's like, she's full of shit.

523
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:48,520
What the fuck is the point of all that?

524
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,520
In my mind, it was a situation of she's.

525
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:52,520
Let me put on my top.

526
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:53,520
Don't like his voice.

527
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:57,520
I she's just crazy bitch.

528
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:05,520
And like, that's the whole thing is that she wants him to be around.

529
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,520
So she comes up as a plane.

530
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,520
And like he's she's she's trying to trap him like in.

531
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:21,520
Trap him in Detroit and say she's pregnant and that's why I really don't think that's his daughter because.

532
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:31,520
I don't know that would just play differently, especially at the end to where he's like, I'm on my own, I'm making my own way and then he just walks off into the night and like no mention of that he's got a he's got a child.

533
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:34,520
That's what I'm saying is that the end of the movie.

534
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:41,520
First of all, the yeah, that they we never get to fucking know what happens like.

535
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:42,520
The rabbit.

536
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:46,520
Like, it's it's never it's like the shit with his bombs not resolved.

537
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:50,520
The shit with fucking the little kid is not resolved.

538
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:53,520
The arc is that he had to win this competition.

539
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:58,520
And that's where this movie really boils down to like a sports movie.

540
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:02,520
Or like a talent show like a talent show that you got to win.

541
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:07,520
With a sports movie, they get increasingly better throughout the movie.

542
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:10,520
With this, it's not the case.

543
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:11,520
He doesn't get better.

544
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:15,520
He at least does a couple of battles that are to James's point.

545
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:17,520
He does a couple of battles.

546
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:18,520
Yeah.

547
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,520
We have the parking lot.

548
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:22,520
We have the food truck.

549
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:27,520
I just want to know why I'm rapping occasionally to Cheddar Bob.

550
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:33,520
And I just want to know why he why he gets over his fear.

551
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:34,520
Oh, totally.

552
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:36,520
That is an incredible.

553
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:40,520
That's kind of manufactured out of nowhere because that's the only time I can think

554
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:44,520
is where he has that he gets mad at them of like we're not really doing shit.

555
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:48,520
And Cheddar Bob getting shot, I think just gets him pretty frustrated.

556
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:52,520
He's like, man, this is annoying.

557
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:57,520
But there no, there really isn't a huge instance besides just wanting to get out.

558
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:02,520
I mean, the Brittany Murphy thing like that, all that shit goes awry as well.

559
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:08,520
But then it just boils down to either sitting on the bus with his notes or or just like

560
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:15,520
holding in and just like visually and nonverbally, the movie is telling you like, OK, now he's

561
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:17,520
really focusing on getting better.

562
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:22,520
But like you're saying, there's no it's not a lot of actual proof in the pudding.

563
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:27,520
And to my original point, like you only get at the very end him like, I don't know, actually

564
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:33,520
being M&M rapping, I feel like a lot of his other rap battle stuff is like not rhythmic

565
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:38,520
like you like you were you were saying, and it is very truncated and like in it and it starts

566
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:39,520
and stops a lot.

567
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:43,520
And it's really just like, what is that Nick Cannon show?

568
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:45,520
Or they just diss each other?

569
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:47,520
It's just more like they're just dissing each other.

570
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:54,520
Yeah, roasting each other rather than I just wish that like is like from what I understand,

571
01:06:54,520 --> 01:07:01,520
or from what I understand, the entire the entire narrative of the movie essentially is like.

572
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:06,520
It's about him like kind of growing up, I guess.

573
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:12,520
And like you see these things and it's like, here's the reason why I'm not growing up like

574
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:13,520
Detroit sucks.

575
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:15,520
My mom sucks.

576
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,520
You know, the shitty situation.

577
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:20,520
My plan life is tough.

578
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:21,520
Yeah.

579
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,520
Yeah, all this stuff sucks.

580
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:29,520
And it but the ending is so fucking confusing because it's like Brady Murphy's Brady Murphy's

581
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:34,520
supposed to be in my opinion is supposed to be like a wake up call like you're running

582
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:35,520
out of time.

583
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:40,520
You got to fucking you got to like, you got to get out of here so you can so you can do

584
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:41,520
something.

585
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:42,520
Right.

586
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:45,520
And you're and you're sort of like resting on your laurels almost and depending on other

587
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,520
people a lot, I guess, but like you do need help for people.

588
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:54,520
But he ends up doing the rap battle and going back to work.

589
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:56,520
So it's like help from he did.

590
01:07:56,520 --> 01:08:00,520
He like ends up being like, you know what future I do, you know, but he pursues his

591
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:04,520
dream, but he also is responsible at the end.

592
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:05,520
Right.

593
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:06,520
Wow.

594
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:07,520
Which is so funny.

595
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:10,520
Like if they actually did that and it was like, you can do both.

596
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:14,520
But you can have a full time job and pursue your dream.

597
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:15,520
You don't need to.

598
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:17,520
You know, to be a fucking loser.

599
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:19,520
Like you can just like sit some down.

600
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:23,960
It's like, hey, you just got to stop hanging out with your jerk off friends getting fucked

601
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:28,240
up all the time and maybe and maybe focus a bit more and then you can accomplish your

602
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:29,240
goals.

603
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:30,240
Yeah.

604
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:31,240
Yeah.

605
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:33,760
Your friends named Cheddar Bob.

606
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:35,200
Let's talk about Cheddar Bob.

607
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:36,960
Let's talk about yeah.

608
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:39,800
And then what the fuck is the point of Cheddar Bob?

609
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:41,960
Why is he is he mentally challenged?

610
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:43,960
Why is he mentally challenged?

611
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:44,960
Yeah.

612
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:45,960
I don't know.

613
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:46,960
I don't know.

614
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:49,400
Because it's like they don't go all the way with it.

615
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:51,960
They don't go to borrow a.

616
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:52,960
Yeah.

617
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:54,960
They borrow a Downey Junior ism.

618
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:55,960
Yeah.

619
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:56,960
And you know, they also is.

620
01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:01,960
I am never going all the way is there is a scene in which B.

621
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:07,960
Rabbit goes into Cheddar Bob's house after he cowardly like looks through the window

622
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:10,960
and like and he's like, oh, he's fucking in there.

623
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:14,960
And then he goes into Cheddar Bob's place and then it's about to have a really great

624
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:19,960
moment, but then it just cuts and the movie give a shit less about that.

625
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:23,960
And it bug me the hell out because I was like, this could have been a moment where

626
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:27,960
you had B. Rabbit tell Cheddar Bob a simple 10.

627
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:34,960
How like just unload all like how movies stereotypically do where there's the

628
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:39,960
protagonist just unloads all of their emotional trauma or what they're thinking

629
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:40,960
about onto a simple 10.

630
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:43,960
And then the simple 10 is going to button the scene with a joke of like,

631
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:45,960
I'll get what you're talking about.

632
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:50,960
I'm retarded.

633
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:56,960
I just don't understand why they can't just go like the normal route of the movie

634
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:58,960
with the movie would like auto correct.

635
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:02,960
If the AI wrote it would be he's not going to fucking shoot himself.

636
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:05,960
The gang is going to fucking shoot him.

637
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:09,960
Have they just the game shoot him or fucking main him or something like not

638
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:13,960
permanently, whatever, but have them injure him so they have a reason to fucking

639
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:15,960
really go after these guys.

640
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:17,960
And so he didn't shoot his dick off, right?

641
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:19,960
No, I'll just hear on his leg.

642
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:22,960
Yeah, but it's maybe if he does they do shoot him.

643
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:23,960
Maybe it gets bigger than that.

644
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:30,960
But like I just him shooting himself is like almost played for laughs adds nothing.

645
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,960
They don't feel anything but just like, well, fuck, our friend shot himself.

646
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:34,960
That sucks.

647
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:39,960
There's no that that provides no antagonistic source like for them to like rally around.

648
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:41,960
They're just like, well shit.

649
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:44,960
And it was completely we have an idiot.

650
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:46,960
Yeah, we have an idiot on our team.

651
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:50,960
Yeah, yeah, it's and yeah, it's like brick.

652
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:54,960
That just happens like it just happens for no fucking reason.

653
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:59,960
Like he just shoots himself and then they're like they're like kind of joking about it,

654
01:10:59,960 --> 01:11:03,960
but they're like, oh man, our friends in the hospital and then.

655
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:07,960
Yeah, and then nothing like nothing really comes with the movie fucking slows down

656
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:12,960
and they leave him at the hospital and this is really at the point when like he should

657
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:19,960
Eminem should be doing something about his life and he does, but there's just no point to it.

658
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:24,960
There's no there's and this is just catering to your point where it's like there's nothing to really like push him

659
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:26,960
besides cheddar shooting himself.

660
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:34,960
It's like that's the like sequentially what happens before, but there's it's not a reason enough for him to actually.

661
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:41,960
Yeah, maybe like have a montage of him like it almost gets there with the start with the lose yourself song.

662
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:45,960
And I really like how that's mixed into the moment.

663
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,960
You guys think of the little bit.

664
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:53,960
I'm doing like the the remix of that song where it's like he's writing it.

665
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:55,960
You know, I'm talking about I kind of liked it.

666
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:57,960
I kind of liked it too.

667
01:11:57,960 --> 01:11:58,960
It was pretty creative.

668
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:03,960
It's cool to hear a different like I think you like a sign and it's like building on itself, you know,

669
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:07,960
you know, yeah, the song like sort of working itself out.

670
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:12,960
I was convinced that it was going to like come up at the end in the right.

671
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:20,960
Yeah, like he would like he would do that's what my girlfriend said to she was like so he doesn't he doesn't fucking do the do this song at the end.

672
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:24,960
Yeah, it's everything was leading up to that.

673
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:26,960
It's the end credit thing.

674
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:28,960
I was convinced because he's working on him.

675
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:36,960
Okay, we're going to get there. We're going to get there like he's working on it in the scene. It's like, okay, so he's going to but and so when the the DJ was like playing records.

676
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:38,960
I'm like, how are they going to mix in that?

677
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:42,960
He's like, I got a certain track that I want you to play and he's going to slide it to him or something.

678
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:47,960
Didn't do it for the first battle and then he had to work as well as like, oh, he's going against Anthony Mackie.

679
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:52,960
This is for sure going to be a very new sound you've been looking for.

680
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:55,960
You know that new sound you're looking for.

681
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:58,960
You got to lose yourself in the moment right now.

682
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:02,960
It's Dr.

683
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:05,960
Dr.

684
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,960
Mr. Dre his brother.

685
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:10,960
Dr.

686
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:12,960
It's easy. I guess you guys aren't ready for that.

687
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:13,960
But your white counterpart.

688
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:15,960
Love it.

689
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:17,960
Oh my God.

690
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:18,960
For sure.

691
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:20,960
Yeah, I don't know.

692
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:26,960
This movie just kind of goes through the motions a little bit. I'm realizing I just I was kind of surprised at how

693
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:35,960
a vatrolic it kind of got with him and Brittany Murphy and the other guy and him kicking his ass and then getting his ass kicked in return.

694
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:38,960
I didn't expect it to get so ugly with Brittany Murphy.

695
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:40,960
I thought they would have a little bit more of a happy.

696
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:42,960
I know she gets. Yeah.

697
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:43,960
Right.

698
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:45,960
That was a really interesting like sort of.

699
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:55,960
Period piece kind of thing because like I'm sure that when I if I saw that movie when it came out I'm sure I would be so stoked that he beat that guy up.

700
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:59,960
Because like you know I'm like 12 years old and I'm like yeah there you go.

701
01:13:59,960 --> 01:14:00,960
Yeah.

702
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:01,960
Right.

703
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:10,960
But now I'm like oh wow he's a fucking psychopath like this is not his girlfriend why why does this guy deserve to get beat up like he's obviously just

704
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:11,960
Has a heart twice.

705
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:15,960
That was a bad fucking look for our main character.

706
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:21,960
Fucking look they fucked in a dirty automotive warehouse like I don't know.

707
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:24,960
Let's let's let the yeah that seems so long.

708
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:26,960
Yeah it was really long.

709
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:28,960
Very close to completion.

710
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:31,960
And then a lot of just.

711
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:40,960
And just like it doesn't like cut like there's a lot I mean speaking of Revolutionary Road I mean that movie is like one pump and done.

712
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:44,960
Yeah but he's yeah no he's pumping.

713
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:45,960
He's here.

714
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:51,960
Also what where the fuck does he not has he never kissed someone before.

715
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:53,960
He kisses so weird.

716
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:57,960
Like he's like all like his whole mouth.

717
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:02,960
Just very like it's very like 14 year old summer camp make out sesh like.

718
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:07,960
Yeah and all the clothes are like still on like he just just barely.

719
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:10,960
Everything's just like pushed that was unreal.

720
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:16,960
Are pushed down and shirts are pushed up and nothing's ever taken off and it's in the cold fucking dingy.

721
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,960
Car warehouse where they have overnight shifts.

722
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:23,960
Is that but it's so but it's overnight shifts at the factory.

723
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:26,960
Yeah because he was going to work one.

724
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:27,960
Remember after the show.

725
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:32,960
Oh I know in the movie but I was just asking like yeah I guess in real life they do overnight factory shifts probably.

726
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:33,960
Sure.

727
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,960
Yeah they got to make bumpers.

728
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:43,960
So to the down.

729
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:48,960
You just got to do your job and shut the fuck up and the fuck up.

730
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:50,960
I was thinking about it.

731
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:52,960
I was like hey this band.

732
01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:55,960
Like a light or something.

733
01:15:55,960 --> 01:16:02,960
The fact that they have to say up and down every single time is that I feel like there's a better way to do that.

734
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:07,960
There's like you know just like a light you go OK like down.

735
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:12,960
Yeah like you have to say up and down to do what they're doing.

736
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:13,960
Jesus.

737
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:14,960
Yeah.

738
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:15,960
Yeah.

739
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:19,960
Did you notice who the boss was Brandon.

740
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:20,960
No who's the boss.

741
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:23,960
It's the owner of the club and walk hard.

742
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:26,960
I expect you to dance erotically.

743
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:27,960
Yes.

744
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:32,960
Yes.

745
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:36,960
He's like wants everyone to be dancing very erotically and he has such boss energy.

746
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:37,960
He doesn't.

747
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:38,960
He's big.

748
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:41,960
Why is he always giving me shit.

749
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:43,960
And then that's that's bonza.

750
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:48,960
Well you need to shut the fuck up.

751
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:56,960
You know what you know it walk hard kind of borrows that from a little bit that that scene where they're like they're doing that is.

752
01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:01,960
Is it was it don't be a menace or is like looking at you getting freaky on the dance floor.

753
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:04,960
And they're like actually fucking like.

754
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,960
They're dancing erotically in the movie too.

755
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:08,960
It's so funny.

756
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:09,960
It's dude.

757
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:11,960
I love it.

758
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:18,960
This is sort of like a small part but I don't know why me and my chick kind of.

759
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:25,960
Pointed this out to each other was that Brittany Murphy like is dancing.

760
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:29,960
Dancing with the like the only other white guy.

761
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:31,960
At the thing.

762
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:36,960
So she just doesn't doesn't like to use his up.

763
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:39,960
But then she fucks that guy so.

764
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:41,960
So there he was.

765
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:42,960
Right.

766
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:48,960
But I mean what you're saying is like we needed her to fuck more black guys before that happened.

767
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:55,960
Oh no I just thought it was funny that like the only other guy that she's like kind of hitting it off with is also white.

768
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:56,960
I know.

769
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:58,960
Very predominantly black club.

770
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:00,960
I just thought that was fucking hilarious.

771
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:04,960
Speaking of white guys too is that the writer of this movie is a white guy.

772
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:07,960
You know it's produced by Brian Grazer.

773
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:11,960
Yeah which is not nuts and the director of Ellie confidential.

774
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:12,960
Yes.

775
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:18,960
The director of adaptation which is like a cool ass art film.

776
01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:20,960
No that's Charlie Kaufman.

777
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:21,960
What's Charlie Kaufman.

778
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:23,960
Wait who does.

779
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:30,960
No because I swear to God it's not on the fucking on the on the Amazon fucking blue to blue or whatever the fuck.

780
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:35,960
After the movie was over it showed like you know the different people that were involved in making the movie.

781
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:38,960
And one of them had something to do with adaptation.

782
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:40,960
I don't know if it was the director.

783
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:42,960
He is a character in the movie.

784
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:43,960
Oh wow.

785
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:45,960
Oh weird.

786
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:46,960
Yeah.

787
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:47,960
Charlie Kaufman.

788
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:48,960
Yeah.

789
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:50,960
That's so funny.

790
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:54,960
That's so funny that I thought the same guy who did adaptation.

791
01:18:54,960 --> 01:19:03,960
Could you literally like one of the handful of movies and I'm not saying I'm like a tough guy or whatever but one of the handful of movies to make me cry adaptation adaptation.

792
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:06,960
When the when his twin.

793
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:08,960
Oh yeah.

794
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:17,960
We did I'm thinking of ending things which is another Charlie Kaufman movie but that guy is a fucking trip he wrote a book I've thought about.

795
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:19,960
The fuck off.

796
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:21,960
I'm thinking of ending things.

797
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:26,960
Well then that makes sense why it's polarizing because I like to.

798
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:29,960
I like to do but I hated the ending so much.

799
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:33,960
Way way way unnecessarily confusing.

800
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:34,960
Very confusing.

801
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:40,960
Because I thought because I remember I read like what I like I went online and I read like what actually what happens or whatever.

802
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:43,960
And I was like that's amazing if I would have known that the.

803
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:48,960
I love that movie just told me a little clearer.

804
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:52,960
I remember liking a lot more after I read about it as well.

805
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:53,960
That's what I'm saying.

806
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:57,960
I thought the movie was great but then the ending is like unnecessarily fucking confusing.

807
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,960
What's the deal with this pig.

808
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:04,960
Turns into a cartoon.

809
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:08,960
Well looking through the last of my notes we got we got a rip it baby rip it.

810
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:12,960
We got to get the fuck out of my house get the.

811
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:16,960
Out of my house.

812
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:22,960
I like how she I like how she she wins like three thousand dollars and she's like that's the end of her story.

813
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:28,960
You want pancakes like that's that was the that was the meal after you win three thousand dollars.

814
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:30,960
That was her arc. Yeah.

815
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:31,960
And that's not even you didn't even buy it.

816
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:32,960
You didn't bring home pancakes.

817
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:36,960
You're gonna make that's very fiscally responsible like for someone who's not.

818
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:37,960
Three thousand.

819
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:40,960
She's in debt.

820
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:43,960
I like three grand and.

821
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:49,960
I don't know that could probably pay for rent at that trailer park for like six months trailer parts man are fucking nuts.

822
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:57,960
I there's this really great like radio lab episode about how trailer parts are literally the worst investment possible because you don't.

823
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:07,960
The thing with houses is that you own the land like you appreciate you own the plot of that land like legally on the plot but with the trailer.

824
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:17,960
Somebody else owns the plot and you're just putting a thing on there and it just is the literally the worst investment to just take advantage of yourself a double.

825
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:22,960
You're in here.

826
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:27,960
What were you gonna say James. Oh, I was just sorry to interrupt.

827
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:42,960
I just had to say this quote that I liked a lot when they were talking about the guy was there's a one character in their friend group that is seems to be a little bit more socially responsible and ethically aware and politically aware of the world.

828
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:57,960
But he's talking about how getting a record deal is like a good good idea because you get a lot of benefits. And then his other friends, his other bigger guy friend says, Hey man we talking Bentley's and Benjamins not blue cross and blue shield.

829
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:00,960
That was a very.

830
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:04,960
Yeah, that was someone someone wrote that was pretty proud of that.

831
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,960
Yeah, yeah, that's over.

832
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:12,960
Some super hip white old white.

833
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:15,960
Over the writer of this movie has also written.

834
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:20,960
He has written the new Joker and the previous Joker movie.

835
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:22,960
Oh God, Folly.

836
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:30,960
Did all the other dude has a Scott Silver screenwriter credit.

837
01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:37,960
Phoenix. Okay, wait, hold on. What a time to be alive.

838
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:44,960
Before I forget, taking of the guy, the socially conscious dude in the in the friend group, who was gay.

839
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:47,960
Or were they just making fun of them.

840
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:49,960
No, no, there's a lot of them.

841
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:53,960
They did make fun of the one guy at the factory. They're making fun of him.

842
01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:54,960
I did.

843
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:55,960
He was cool.

844
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:57,960
He was cool. The exhibit was making fun of him.

845
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:00,960
Yeah, how he was smoking cigarettes was cool. There's something about him.

846
01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:06,960
Did in his in his defense, he did defend him. Yeah, which is true.

847
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:08,960
And his outfit was I like that.

848
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:11,960
He also used the the the F word.

849
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:14,960
Yeah, many times while doing it.

850
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:18,960
Well, it's fucking hilarious.

851
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:20,960
Going back to that guy.

852
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:22,960
Going back to that guy.

853
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:28,960
He is do you remember when that's what woke meant?

854
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:34,960
Was a dude was a dude that could that like was like some somewhat socially conscious.

855
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:37,960
That's what that's what we used to mean.

856
01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:38,960
Yeah, it is.

857
01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:39,960
I can use that term now.

858
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:45,960
It's he was like right like we shouldn't be into religion.

859
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:49,960
We should start like not hurting the earth.

860
01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:52,960
She's a woman, but it's okay.

861
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:55,960
She was like,

862
01:23:55,960 --> 01:24:02,960
so like woke used to mean like that you sort of adhered to like some

863
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:07,960
conspiracy theories and and like you were you you sort of knew about the

864
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:09,960
government like local government or some shit.

865
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:14,960
But now it's just like, you know, you're your Joe Biden.

866
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:19,960
That's who's now you don't know.

867
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:22,960
If you're a centrist, you're fucking.

868
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:24,960
Yeah, you're absolutely.

869
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:25,960
Yeah.

870
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:32,960
If you want to like have people taken everyone get along and woke exactly like

871
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:37,960
if you if you would rather a hospital like taken a guy who's dying before he

872
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:39,960
paid than your work.

873
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:40,960
Yeah.

874
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:44,960
And broke as well.

875
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:48,960
He uses the.

876
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:50,960
I'm like it's here.

877
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:54,960
We got we got the pencil suspense suspense full rhyme was in like the last

878
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:59,960
rap battle, which he uses in without me been so suspenseful with the pencil

879
01:24:59,960 --> 01:25:03,960
since like Prince turned himself into a symbol.

880
01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:05,960
Oh, that's a great.

881
01:25:05,960 --> 01:25:07,960
I wish that was in this movie.

882
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:09,960
Well, he does the pencil, the pencil thing.

883
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:11,960
He's repeating that.

884
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:12,960
It's not as cool.

885
01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:16,960
No, it's like it's like the guy from Nutri Milk Hotel talking about come on the

886
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:17,960
mountains or whatever.

887
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:18,960
Totally.

888
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:23,960
You know, I bring that up like three times and now it seems the non pops.

889
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:26,960
It's like he loves that that fucking visual.

890
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:31,960
It must be kind of fun like to do things in such like a heightened heavy way,

891
01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:36,960
but then you're just singing about stupid shit that must come that like and then

892
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:39,960
someone's like worshiping worshiping me that you're in the background.

893
01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:42,960
You're just kind of like fucking you.

894
01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:45,960
You're worshiping mountain song.

895
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:47,960
No one was the walrus.

896
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:49,960
I made it up.

897
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:51,960
I mean, that's kind of I guess I'm in them.

898
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:53,960
So stick a little bit to you.

899
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,960
But I like how he makes fun of the Beatles.

900
01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:59,960
Hey, dude, you should have been with us for the walk.

901
01:25:59,960 --> 01:26:08,960
Why are you so dark and when I'm so efficient whimsical acid?

902
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:12,960
You're lucky we still have to play.

903
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:17,960
My guitar gently whimpers.

904
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:23,960
Anthony Mackie doing pretty well for a 15 year old with a wife and baby.

905
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:30,960
Yeah, can't make a make a house of candy you will melt in the sun.

906
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:34,960
You know what I think that the hardest I laughed during that movie was is the

907
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:38,960
the scene where all the dicks are just appearing in a hotel room while he's

908
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:39,960
talking on the phone.

909
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:42,960
Yes, not all it's just like it's just burnt.

910
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:44,960
I was I was in the theater.

911
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:48,960
I remember like I was like crying fucking hard.

912
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:53,960
James James posted it 100 percent by the way.

913
01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:57,960
James posted it in the discord.

914
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:06,960
But in Roger Ebert's review of the walk hard, he makes this addendum at the

915
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:10,960
end and he's like just so everybody knows there's a penis in this movie.

916
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:15,960
And then it's like a paragraph long where he like also kind of creates this

917
01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:20,960
like, you know what this scene can use a penis in the upper upper right corner.

918
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:26,960
And it is so funny to just have this very sterile, like almost puritanical

919
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:30,960
mind being like, guess what everybody is in this movie.

920
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:35,960
And the best is yeah, he overall just been like, oh, you know who at hands,

921
01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:36,960
the devil.

922
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:40,960
He's the for holding.

923
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:46,960
The guy hears the song and he throws up.

924
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:48,960
Just kidding.

925
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:49,960
It's good.

926
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:52,960
It's just like want to take that approach that an Ardrey Ebert took with like

927
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:57,960
other jokes and like other like obvious jokes in movies that are like.

928
01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:00,960
Why did Ron Burgundy have that boner?

929
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:01,960
That was very strange.

930
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:04,960
That was just an uncomfortable moment that I don't know.

931
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,960
Somebody should call the pants store and let them know.

932
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:12,960
Yeah, what this thing needed was a news anchor who can't read the news.

933
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:16,960
Wow, that's believable.

934
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:18,960
What have been a body bag?

935
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:19,960
What's with movies these days?

936
01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:25,960
It'll make them like they used to.

937
01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:29,960
Yeah, Anthony Mackie, his real name is Clarence.

938
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:33,960
I thought that was just a funny burn of like this guy's name is Clarence.

939
01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:37,960
Yeah, it was so funny.

940
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:38,960
He just completely shut down.

941
01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:41,960
Yeah, he pooped his pants and cried and ran away.

942
01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:42,960
Wow.

943
01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:48,960
I thought I thought that the doing like the thing where he brings up all of the

944
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:54,960
disses that the other guys probably going to say I liked it was like was like.

945
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,960
Art of war like sun zoos.

946
01:28:57,960 --> 01:29:02,960
Like what gently like that was fucking that was so fucking smart.

947
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:03,960
Like.

948
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:10,960
Let me all of all of my ineptitudes so that you can weaponize them.

949
01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:11,960
Yeah, you can.

950
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:12,960
Wow.

951
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:13,960
So he is emotionally growing.

952
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:19,960
Sure, but I want to please chart that a little bit better than that.

953
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:22,960
No, we're going to get the sequel and it's like 10 years later and you're still in

954
01:29:22,960 --> 01:29:23,960
the same position.

955
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:26,960
But he's like, Hey, you remember when I won that one rap battle 10 years ago?

956
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:28,960
That was pretty cool.

957
01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:29,960
I went to.

958
01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:31,960
Let's go to the record label.

959
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:35,960
Signed a record label, but he's still like works like 60 hours at the factory every

960
01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:36,960
week.

961
01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:39,960
And that record just people down next room.

962
01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:41,960
People on the radio.

963
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:42,960
Man, I did like that.

964
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:44,960
Are you just going to say, OK, let's see this room.

965
01:29:44,960 --> 01:29:46,960
OK, OK, fucking.

966
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:48,960
I don't know, but he had like devil hair.

967
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:49,960
Did you see that?

968
01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:51,960
And it's like, you look cool as fuck.

969
01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:53,960
These devil.

970
01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:55,960
Came out.

971
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:57,960
Awesome.

972
01:29:57,960 --> 01:30:02,960
That kind of music.

973
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:03,960
Yeah.

974
01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:05,960
Oh my God.

975
01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:10,960
I think.

976
01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:11,960
Yeah, any final.

977
01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:16,960
I had a couple committing arson and the not leaving his wilds is what I wrote.

978
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:17,960
Yeah.

979
01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:20,960
I thought about that scene and I was like, if the cops came up, I'd be like, I just

980
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:22,960
got here 15 minutes ago.

981
01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:24,960
That's a good point.

982
01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:27,960
I came out to see this building burning.

983
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:28,960
Yeah.

984
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:29,960
Yeah.

985
01:30:29,960 --> 01:30:30,960
I live next door.

986
01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:31,960
The building was burning.

987
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:32,960
Just got here 15 minutes ago.

988
01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:33,960
Not my deal.

989
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:36,960
Anyways, the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire.

990
01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:37,960
Yeah.

991
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:38,960
15 minutes.

992
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:45,960
Well, anything else before you guys want to take a little break on this movie?

993
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:48,960
I think we're just going to wash it off.

994
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:52,960
I didn't take too many notes either because there's like not a lot that happens and it

995
01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:56,960
doesn't get too deep and you can kind of take it all in at a face value.

996
01:30:56,960 --> 01:31:01,960
Before we go on a break then, it's like, I just want to, I just want to make the point

997
01:31:01,960 --> 01:31:08,960
of like this being a like indie feeling movie for somebody who was a major hip hop pop

998
01:31:08,960 --> 01:31:14,960
star was the right move because especially getting hip hop into major motion pictures

999
01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:21,960
was still not something that was done almost ever and add some validity to it and to like

1000
01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:23,960
someone's never seen breaking.

1001
01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:28,960
Put them in a body bag.

1002
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:31,960
Hey, we did poetic justice on this podcast.

1003
01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:34,960
He ever seen breaking.

1004
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:37,960
You see a bit.

1005
01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:39,960
This is a bit of a bit.

1006
01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:42,960
If anyone knows Tom like this, you're going to have to know Tom like this and you're going

1007
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:45,960
to have to know comedy bang bang and you will be good to go.

1008
01:31:45,960 --> 01:31:46,960
Yeah.

1009
01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:48,960
As well as I think you should leave.

1010
01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:50,960
I think as what might have been another one.

1011
01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:55,960
We should have like an asterisk with all the requirements like pre prerequisite reading

1012
01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:58,960
for our podcast could be good.

1013
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:01,960
Yeah, I think that's all my notes.

1014
01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:02,960
Yeah.

1015
01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:03,960
Excellent.

1016
01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:06,960
Well, I'm going to take a bathroom break and we shall return.

1017
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:08,960
We are back everyone.

1018
01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:09,960
Welcome back.

1019
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:11,960
Let's get into some critic reviews.

1020
01:32:11,960 --> 01:32:14,960
They gave it a 75% certified fresh movie.

1021
01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:19,960
Joe Morgan, Stern from Wall Street Journal said, it's easy to like Jimmy Smith as well

1022
01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:26,960
as to admire him because Mr. Mathers lets us in with no sign of calculation on the kindness

1023
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:31,960
even tenderness that Jimmy conceals for most of the people around him.

1024
01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:36,960
Oh, Alex, what do you have to say about that?

1025
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:39,960
I didn't get that at all.

1026
01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:43,960
He was he was very emotionally available to his friends.

1027
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:47,960
I don't feel like he was ever like trying to be a tough guy or anything.

1028
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:52,960
That wasn't like a team in the movie I ever saw.

1029
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:53,960
I agree.

1030
01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:59,960
From Nathan Rabin, a V club since his ascension to pop culture royalty, Eminem has transformed

1031
01:32:59,960 --> 01:33:03,960
the messy emotions of his life into musical black comedy.

1032
01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:07,960
In eight mile that life becomes an equally riveting drama.

1033
01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:08,960
Why?

1034
01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:09,960
Why use that term black?

1035
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:10,960
Why is it black?

1036
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:12,960
Through me for a loop.

1037
01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:18,960
Richard Schickel time magazine, because it rejects easy victories, this may be one of the few

1038
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:22,960
inspirational movies that could actually inspire someone somewhere sometime.

1039
01:33:22,960 --> 01:33:29,960
Oh, what to keep their day job, but also press bumpers.

1040
01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:34,960
Press up down, Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago reader.

1041
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:39,960
The movie has some of the braggadocio of its white trash hero building to its competitive

1042
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:45,960
climax as if it were a gladiatorial sporting event and it carried me all the way.

1043
01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:46,960
Wow.

1044
01:33:46,960 --> 01:33:47,960
Hello.

1045
01:33:47,960 --> 01:33:48,960
Nice.

1046
01:33:48,960 --> 01:33:51,960
The audience did not care as much for this movie.

1047
01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:52,960
They gave it a 54%.

1048
01:33:52,960 --> 01:33:54,960
Let's hear some negative reviews.

1049
01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:55,960
Stinky, stinky, pew pew.

1050
01:33:55,960 --> 01:33:56,960
Stinky, stinky, stinky.

1051
01:33:56,960 --> 01:34:05,960
That's what we classify on the polarized pod as stinky, stinky, dipy, pew pew land.

1052
01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:06,960
Dirty, dipy.

1053
01:34:06,960 --> 01:34:11,960
They really got to do like a diaper symbol on rotten tomatoes, rotten, rotten, dipy.

1054
01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:15,960
From John Williams, one star.

1055
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:18,960
Oh, John Williams.

1056
01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:22,960
John Williams.

1057
01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:24,960
My favorite gave it a one star.

1058
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:26,960
John Lam's composure.

1059
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:28,960
And commenter.

1060
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:29,960
Reviewing on Google.

1061
01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:32,960
This is on the Google, on the Google.

1062
01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:33,960
On the Giggles.

1063
01:34:33,960 --> 01:34:35,960
My favorite documentary about Stuart Little.

1064
01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:37,960
My boy Billy Ray killed it.

1065
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:41,960
Plain Dre Snoop Dog can make a very convincing Beethoven.

1066
01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:42,960
The dog specifically.

1067
01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:44,960
Overall, I love you mom.

1068
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:47,960
Shout out to the twins Tia and Tamara.

1069
01:34:47,960 --> 01:34:50,960
Hey, when's twitches three supposed to come out by the way?

1070
01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:53,960
It's kind of messed up how you guys just left us in the dust like that.

1071
01:34:53,960 --> 01:34:55,960
But hey, say a lot of V I guess.

1072
01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:57,960
Really confused me too.

1073
01:34:57,960 --> 01:34:59,960
See a lot of V.

1074
01:34:59,960 --> 01:35:00,960
Sorry.

1075
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:01,960
Yeah.

1076
01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:02,960
No, say love me, man.

1077
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:05,960
From Super C crow one star.

1078
01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:07,960
This is all about rapping.

1079
01:35:07,960 --> 01:35:09,960
There's nothing about distance running.

1080
01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:10,960
What a waste of time.

1081
01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:13,960
I'm marathon training.

1082
01:35:13,960 --> 01:35:15,960
He thought he thought he was cooking.

1083
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:18,960
He thought he thought he let him cook.

1084
01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:19,960
Let him cook.

1085
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:21,960
From not.

1086
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:24,960
He's like, oh, this is a crime.

1087
01:35:24,960 --> 01:35:28,960
Well, he typed.

1088
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:29,960
Yeah, I see there.

1089
01:35:29,960 --> 01:35:30,960
I see this.

1090
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:33,960
Well, I guess that was just like involuntary.

1091
01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:34,960
Can help.

1092
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:38,960
Oh, from Namgay, Dorje, one star.

1093
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:40,960
This movie is awesome.

1094
01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:42,960
What more can I say?

1095
01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:45,960
One star.

1096
01:35:45,960 --> 01:35:47,960
I'm speechless.

1097
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:49,960
Stand for life.

1098
01:35:49,960 --> 01:35:54,960
One star.

1099
01:35:54,960 --> 01:35:59,960
Ten people found this review helpful.

1100
01:35:59,960 --> 01:36:04,960
So Namgay, Dorje.

1101
01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:09,960
From Sanjoy Bose.

1102
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:11,960
One star. Disgusting.

1103
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:16,960
Look what they have done to the beautiful English language.

1104
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:17,960
Oh God.

1105
01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:22,960
I'll do one more here from Roberto J.

1106
01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:24,960
One star.

1107
01:36:24,960 --> 01:36:27,960
This film loosely illustrates the rise of Eminem within his local

1108
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:30,960
community. I found this movie to be very hard to watch and did

1109
01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:32,960
not have much substance to it.

1110
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:34,960
There were too many scenes of Eminem and his daughter in extreme

1111
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:38,960
poverty. The film can continue to force feed me with these scenes

1112
01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:41,960
disregarding how hard they are to watch and the rumination of

1113
01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:43,960
them in the mind of the audience.

1114
01:36:43,960 --> 01:36:45,960
Rumination.

1115
01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:49,960
Did they even think about how hard this would be to watch for me?

1116
01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:52,960
I should have.

1117
01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:55,960
One of them says one stars this movie is just the last samurai,

1118
01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:57,960
it's epic rap battles.

1119
01:36:57,960 --> 01:36:59,960
One star.

1120
01:36:59,960 --> 01:37:02,960
One star.

1121
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:04,960
That's the next portion of our show.

1122
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:06,960
Now we got to find these people.

1123
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:10,960
Alex, what would you rate this bad boy zero out of 100?

1124
01:37:10,960 --> 01:37:12,960
Any final thoughts as well?

1125
01:37:12,960 --> 01:37:14,960
You'd like to attach?

1126
01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:16,960
Let's see.

1127
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:20,960
Or you can pass it along to Brandini or me as well.

1128
01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:22,960
If you'd like to go second or third.

1129
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:23,960
Yeah.

1130
01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:25,960
The great Brandini.

1131
01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:27,960
Yes.

1132
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:29,960
He's going to be following David Blaine very soon.

1133
01:37:29,960 --> 01:37:31,960
Yeah.

1134
01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:33,960
I would say.

1135
01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:35,960
55.

1136
01:37:35,960 --> 01:37:37,960
55.

1137
01:37:37,960 --> 01:37:39,960
Yeah.

1138
01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:41,960
Why would you give that?

1139
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:45,960
Very fair because it wasn't like a terrible movie.

1140
01:37:45,960 --> 01:37:47,960
Sure.

1141
01:37:47,960 --> 01:37:51,960
It wasn't. It was like a little below.

1142
01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:53,960
Like.

1143
01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:56,960
I don't even know what the fuck I'm thinking about.

1144
01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:58,960
Like.

1145
01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:00,960
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah.

1146
01:38:00,960 --> 01:38:02,960
5560 just because.

1147
01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:04,960
You know,

1148
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:06,960
it's kind of like rotten.

1149
01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:08,960
It's a little stinky.

1150
01:38:08,960 --> 01:38:09,960
You know,

1151
01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:11,960
might need to change the diaper on that.

1152
01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:13,960
Yeah.

1153
01:38:13,960 --> 01:38:15,960
I just feel like.

1154
01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:16,960
From a story.

1155
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:17,960
I don't know.

1156
01:38:17,960 --> 01:38:18,960
I don't know.

1157
01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:21,960
Yeah. I just feel like.

1158
01:38:21,960 --> 01:38:23,960
From a story telling perspective, like.

1159
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:25,960
It's going to be our new segment.

1160
01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:27,960
Change the type.

1161
01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:29,960
You don't change the type.

1162
01:38:29,960 --> 01:38:32,960
I have like a pet peeve about like.

1163
01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:34,960
About.

1164
01:38:34,960 --> 01:38:35,960
Like.

1165
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:37,960
Plot lines that.

1166
01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:39,960
Don't go anywhere and that don't serve anything.

1167
01:38:39,960 --> 01:38:40,960
God.

1168
01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:41,960
What a tyrant.

1169
01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:43,960
What a tyrant.

1170
01:38:43,960 --> 01:38:45,960
Why the fuck did you make this?

1171
01:38:45,960 --> 01:38:47,960
Why did you make me watch this? Like.

1172
01:38:47,960 --> 01:38:50,960
You know what I mean? I definitely thought there was some

1173
01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:53,960
entertainment value. I didn't, I didn't like hate watching it.

1174
01:38:53,960 --> 01:38:55,960
You know,

1175
01:38:55,960 --> 01:38:57,960
I definitely.

1176
01:38:57,960 --> 01:38:59,960
Yeah.

1177
01:38:59,960 --> 01:39:01,960
But that's, I think that's the end of my.

1178
01:39:01,960 --> 01:39:03,960
Very well thought out review.

1179
01:39:03,960 --> 01:39:04,960
Nice.

1180
01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:07,960
I'm in the same boat. I think that.

1181
01:39:07,960 --> 01:39:11,960
This movie was like just enjoyable enough to get through in like an

1182
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:13,960
hour, a little over an hour and a half.

1183
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:18,960
I really like.

1184
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:22,960
Unfortanately didn't get deeper where I wanted it to.

1185
01:39:22,960 --> 01:39:26,960
But I guess that didn't hold it back from being like breezy in

1186
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:29,960
for a drama, like for a drama.

1187
01:39:29,960 --> 01:39:32,960
And everything like it was a kind of kind of breezy and I didn't

1188
01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:33,960
end up like.

1189
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:37,960
Carrying too much about a lot of the characters. I liked, you know,

1190
01:39:37,960 --> 01:39:39,960
obviously the main, our main character M&M.

1191
01:39:39,960 --> 01:39:42,960
I'm concerned with what's going on with him.

1192
01:39:42,960 --> 01:39:49,200
being able to look at it like that, I appreciated just going through this brief moment in time,

1193
01:39:49,200 --> 01:39:55,760
but also it doesn't get very deep and it doesn't warrant any sort of higher score because there's

1194
01:39:55,760 --> 01:40:00,080
many more movies that are able to go much further in that direction.

1195
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:04,600
The things that I do love about it are obviously Eminem's performance and I thought there were

1196
01:40:04,600 --> 01:40:11,320
like a lot of great crowd scenes of the rap battles, like great crowd work and having

1197
01:40:11,320 --> 01:40:19,160
that energy and a lot of the shots within those moments is I think tough to have lively

1198
01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:25,240
crowd work in those kind of moments and I appreciated that in some of those climactic

1199
01:40:25,240 --> 01:40:29,920
scenes that that worked pretty well.

1200
01:40:29,920 --> 01:40:35,240
And there was a certain look that somehow the cinematography looked pretty good at sometimes

1201
01:40:35,240 --> 01:40:40,920
and it reminded me of a time and a place of movie making, which was very gritty and kind

1202
01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:44,680
of like embrace that a little bit.

1203
01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:48,000
And I think it was those those sort of rap battle scenes and then the house burning,

1204
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:49,600
I thought were like some good moments.

1205
01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:52,720
But yeah, it's going to be just fresh for me.

1206
01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:57,040
I think I do like a little bit more than than that, but just push it into like the fresh

1207
01:40:57,040 --> 01:41:00,440
region of like, yeah, 67.

1208
01:41:00,440 --> 01:41:02,480
I'll do a 67.

1209
01:41:02,480 --> 01:41:04,480
Sounds good to me.

1210
01:41:04,480 --> 01:41:12,880
So these little pew pew type, but you know, you can let it go a little bit before you

1211
01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:13,880
change it.

1212
01:41:13,880 --> 01:41:14,880
The shark.

1213
01:41:14,880 --> 01:41:28,080
Yeah, so yeah, I might get some chaffage.

1214
01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:36,040
So with this movie, I think it is interesting the choice of him being as popular as he is

1215
01:41:36,040 --> 01:41:42,720
to make a very rounded story, biopic of a rap artist.

1216
01:41:42,720 --> 01:41:51,480
I think it's not lost on me that in this period of time, it was very difficult to do and overall,

1217
01:41:51,480 --> 01:41:57,720
this isn't like it's cringe in a lot of ways, but it's not super lame.

1218
01:41:57,720 --> 01:42:06,280
And I think that is like kind of what it needs to at least get to and it does.

1219
01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:09,400
But the story is so wholly uninteresting.

1220
01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:17,720
And there's so many introductions of characters that would fill out this life of Eminem as

1221
01:42:17,720 --> 01:42:27,200
an artist that would just hold so much weight that even a non rapper person could appreciate.

1222
01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:31,960
And this movie doesn't do that.

1223
01:42:31,960 --> 01:42:39,040
You know, and this movie does not do that.

1224
01:42:39,040 --> 01:42:49,080
But I'm so glad this movie isn't a incredibly blown out like pop artist shit that it could

1225
01:42:49,080 --> 01:42:51,320
have been given where he was at.

1226
01:42:51,320 --> 01:42:57,880
I'm glad that he chose to work with the director to become an actor to do this movie, which

1227
01:42:57,880 --> 01:42:59,200
is very small.

1228
01:42:59,200 --> 01:43:03,040
I think that is in the situation, the right move.

1229
01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:06,400
But it doesn't necessarily make the movie good.

1230
01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:10,360
And I don't think this movie is that good.

1231
01:43:10,360 --> 01:43:15,240
So where I'm going to leave it at is 55% is how I'm feeling.

1232
01:43:15,240 --> 01:43:17,240
Yeah, you guys are holding hands.

1233
01:43:17,240 --> 01:43:18,240
Very nice.

1234
01:43:18,240 --> 01:43:22,760
55 buddies, five is good number.

1235
01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:27,800
This has been the eight mile episode and it truly has been a blast.

1236
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:31,760
Let's play a little game before we mosey on out of here.

1237
01:43:31,760 --> 01:43:34,520
It's what's that ranking eight mile addition.

1238
01:43:34,520 --> 01:43:42,520
I am going to give you a category of ranking that eight mile is on the list of it is up

1239
01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:48,960
to you to figure out where eight mile ranks on the list of movies within this category.

1240
01:43:48,960 --> 01:43:50,640
It'll make more sense as we go along.

1241
01:43:50,640 --> 01:43:52,040
Let's get to the first one.

1242
01:43:52,040 --> 01:43:53,040
Alex.

1243
01:43:53,040 --> 01:43:59,520
For as far as best movie fights that don't involve violence or dancing, where would

1244
01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:06,520
eight mile rank out of 14 movies in that category?

1245
01:44:06,520 --> 01:44:13,960
Best movie fights that don't involve violence or dancing, where does eight mile rank out

1246
01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:17,040
of 14 movies?

1247
01:44:17,040 --> 01:44:20,800
So like that would leave like yelling.

1248
01:44:20,800 --> 01:44:24,240
Yeah, rap battling would be the thing.

1249
01:44:24,240 --> 01:44:31,200
Yeah, now it's not violent and there's a little bit of head bobbing, I guess, but not dancing.

1250
01:44:31,200 --> 01:44:34,320
Someone like two people having a heated argument that would be hard.

1251
01:44:34,320 --> 01:44:35,320
Yeah.

1252
01:44:35,320 --> 01:44:39,280
I wonder what number one I can find out what number one is after we after we learn.

1253
01:44:39,280 --> 01:44:41,880
Oh, I guess I just gave away that it's not number one.

1254
01:44:41,880 --> 01:44:42,880
So there you go.

1255
01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:49,160
Yeah, I didn't think it was going to be number one.

1256
01:44:49,160 --> 01:44:54,120
I'll say, I don't know.

1257
01:44:54,120 --> 01:44:56,120
Number 10.

1258
01:44:56,120 --> 01:44:58,120
Okay.

1259
01:44:58,120 --> 01:45:00,520
I'm going to go number four.

1260
01:45:00,520 --> 01:45:04,800
Brandon, you picked number four and it is number four.

1261
01:45:04,800 --> 01:45:09,000
You frickin did it, my friend.

1262
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:10,000
You frickin did it.

1263
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:13,320
You got it on the money.

1264
01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:16,840
For the sake of the game, lasting a bit longer, I'm going to give you one point, but well

1265
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:18,000
done.

1266
01:45:18,000 --> 01:45:19,000
Cool.

1267
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:21,440
Because I think we're just going to do two out of three today.

1268
01:45:21,440 --> 01:45:23,600
Let's go on to number two.

1269
01:45:23,600 --> 01:45:31,040
Brandon, where does eight mile rank as far as the best 11 movies about talent shows?

1270
01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:36,280
About talent shows.

1271
01:45:36,280 --> 01:45:41,880
Eleven movies were put on the ranking of ten movies about talent shows.

1272
01:45:41,880 --> 01:45:42,880
Ten.

1273
01:45:42,880 --> 01:45:44,960
That's such a funny way to put it.

1274
01:45:44,960 --> 01:45:46,280
Isn't that sort of funny?

1275
01:45:46,280 --> 01:45:49,840
It's funny.

1276
01:45:49,840 --> 01:45:53,200
It's like pitch for perfect this movie.

1277
01:45:53,200 --> 01:45:55,640
All right.

1278
01:45:55,640 --> 01:46:00,680
So we got a 10 from Brandon best 11 movies about talent shows.

1279
01:46:00,680 --> 01:46:01,680
To you, Alex.

1280
01:46:01,680 --> 01:46:06,920
I mean, it seems like the original reviews of this movie were pretty, pretty positive.

1281
01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:12,320
And I'm assuming that Ron Tomatoes sort of.

1282
01:46:12,320 --> 01:46:14,320
That's part of the aggregate or whatever.

1283
01:46:14,320 --> 01:46:16,680
So I'm going to say like five.

1284
01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:17,680
Five.

1285
01:46:17,680 --> 01:46:22,280
We're on a roll today, folks, because it is number five.

1286
01:46:22,280 --> 01:46:26,200
So both of you guys are getting the exact numbers on both of these.

1287
01:46:26,200 --> 01:46:30,160
So it's blowing my mind because even if I did give you two points, Brandon, Alex would

1288
01:46:30,160 --> 01:46:31,160
be right there behind you.

1289
01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:36,960
So let's do the tire breaker right here to figure out who wins my very special game of

1290
01:46:36,960 --> 01:46:39,600
what's that ranking.

1291
01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:45,000
To you, Alex, where does eight mile rank on the 15 movies that you swear words for filthy

1292
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:46,000
brilliance?

1293
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:53,760
Oh, I don't like the way that's put 50 movies that you swear words for filthy brilliance.

1294
01:46:53,760 --> 01:47:03,440
Healthy brilliant how many how many movies is 15 brilliantly filthy movies because of

1295
01:47:03,440 --> 01:47:04,440
swear words.

1296
01:47:04,440 --> 01:47:09,840
I'd say seven seven.

1297
01:47:09,840 --> 01:47:13,160
For all the Ken Kaboodle.

1298
01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:14,640
What is your answer?

1299
01:47:14,640 --> 01:47:17,560
Brandon 10 is going to Alex.

1300
01:47:17,560 --> 01:47:24,760
It was number eight on 15 movies that you swear words for filthy brilliance.

1301
01:47:24,760 --> 01:47:29,440
The other categories were Brittany movie, Brittany Murphy movies ranked this was four

1302
01:47:29,440 --> 01:47:35,960
out of 42 and best hip hop movies of 2000s, which was number one of 21 different.

1303
01:47:35,960 --> 01:47:40,080
Oh, was there a couple of other categories?

1304
01:47:40,080 --> 01:47:41,080
What's that?

1305
01:47:41,080 --> 01:47:47,520
Or some other ones in there for eight mile for for the best hip hop movies.

1306
01:47:47,520 --> 01:47:50,080
The best hip hop movies of the 2000s.

1307
01:47:50,080 --> 01:47:52,400
Let me bring that up here.

1308
01:47:52,400 --> 01:47:58,200
Let's pull that up and I will find out there are 21 movies.

1309
01:47:58,200 --> 01:48:02,920
Number one being eight mile number two being get rich or die trying.

1310
01:48:02,920 --> 01:48:05,400
Number three notorious.

1311
01:48:05,400 --> 01:48:07,600
Number four, the lackness.

1312
01:48:07,600 --> 01:48:09,680
Number five, hustle and flow.

1313
01:48:09,680 --> 01:48:11,320
No, I'm not.

1314
01:48:11,320 --> 01:48:13,960
And notorious are both way fucking better than this move.

1315
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:19,600
Number six, Brooklyn Babylon, number seven, Malibu's most wanted.

1316
01:48:19,600 --> 01:48:20,600
Jesus.

1317
01:48:20,600 --> 01:48:22,360
I'll a boozy.

1318
01:48:22,360 --> 01:48:27,080
Number eight, ATL number nine to hip hop, which it's starting Eminem.

1319
01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:31,240
Number 10, Brown sugar and number 11, feel the noise.

1320
01:48:31,240 --> 01:48:33,840
Dude, the wackness fucking rules.

1321
01:48:33,840 --> 01:48:35,320
I'm not seeing that.

1322
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:37,200
I love that movie too.

1323
01:48:37,200 --> 01:48:38,840
Ben Kingsley.

1324
01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:41,440
Ben Kingsley, Josh Peck, farm cut Jensen.

1325
01:48:41,440 --> 01:48:45,480
I really enjoyed notorious to you as I'm surprised that that when.

1326
01:48:45,480 --> 01:48:47,120
Right.

1327
01:48:47,120 --> 01:48:49,040
This ranking site is interesting.

1328
01:48:49,040 --> 01:48:54,120
It's I think here voted in a variety of ways.

1329
01:48:54,120 --> 01:48:58,080
So it's like kind of just almost random and it's makes it fun for games because it's

1330
01:48:58,080 --> 01:49:00,080
like not always obvious pick.

1331
01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:02,200
I feel like.

1332
01:49:02,200 --> 01:49:04,040
But we've been having fun with it here.

1333
01:49:04,040 --> 01:49:05,600
I had a blast today, Alex.

1334
01:49:05,600 --> 01:49:06,600
Thank you again for joining us.

And yeah, I hope it was worth it to at least check out this movie for the first time.

1338
01:49:21,920 --> 01:49:24,600
Is it you get everything you wanted to say?

1339
01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:28,120
Is there anything else you wanted to plug or anything before we take it out?

1340
01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:34,400
Yeah, because we all the people out there, all the people, all the people.

And the surrounding areas.

1344
01:49:41,640 --> 01:49:44,160
I can't think of anything else.

1345
01:49:44,160 --> 01:49:47,160
Yeah, Jimmy Wabbit.

1346
01:49:47,160 --> 01:49:48,400
Good shit.

1347
01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:50,400
Good shit.

1348
01:49:50,400 --> 01:49:51,400
Good shit all around.

1349
01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:52,400
And you're not even.

1350
01:49:52,400 --> 01:49:55,400
Yeah, you're not even lying about that.

1351
01:49:55,400 --> 01:49:59,800
Oh, to be honest, it was good shit.

1352
01:49:59,800 --> 01:50:02,480
Yeah, not gonna lie.

1353
01:50:02,480 --> 01:50:04,240
Right.

1354
01:50:04,240 --> 01:50:05,600
