Episode 216 - Do You Guys Like Tom Skerritt?

[00:00:00] Hey everybody, Hey everybody, Hey everybody, Go Flix Yourself Hey everybody, it's another episode of Go Flix Yourself. My name is Ben Conowitz and with me as always is the under siege to my executive decision, Brad Vernoman. Hey that's me.

[00:00:33] And I marked for death to my executive decision, Nate Lauches. Hey, that's me. Not bad. Yeah, these are Stevens. These are Stevens with all impressions. You know why executive decision is the best Steven Stylgall movie? Because Kurt Russell's in it. No, because he dies real early.

[00:00:50] Kurt Russell's in it, right? Sure. Executive decision. Yeah, he is. When was that film made? 1994? Executive decision came out in 1996. Correct. Directed by the great director Stuart Baird. Yeah, Stuart Baird. Baird and all the way. Produced by the Boston Bairds. Produced by Joel Silver. Of course. Yeah.

[00:01:12] Starring Kurt Russell, Halle Berry. Halle Berry. Halle Berry. John Leguizamo, Oliver Platt in Steve Stylgall. Yeah, Steve Stylgall dies in the opening scene. Of course. No, not of course. It's the only time he's ever died in a movie. Of course. So there you go.

[00:01:27] That's why I chose that. He's like a Russian citizen. He's a real piece of shit. Is he? He is. I don't know. It seems like he's just doing the Lord's work. Yeah, no. Piece of shit, Steve Stylgall. You know what?

[00:01:41] For like an older guy who knows how to fight. Like, you know, hey, fight me on an ab. Just kidding. I don't know. I could kick Steve Stylgall's ass. How old is he now? Probably 63. I could beat up Steve Stylgall easily. How old do you think he is?

[00:01:56] Holy shit. How old do you think he is? I'm going to say that he's 68. He's 72. Oh, I could easily. Yeah, one hand behind my back. I could beat up Steve Stylgall. But he still walks around.

[00:02:06] Do you ever have a teacher that was this like, I had a Mr. Koffman. Who also taught my dad in high school. And he used to walk around. He was like 70. He used to walk around like he was still in his 20s. Like tough, you know.

[00:02:19] Like just puffed out. Yeah. And it's like nah, buddy. I don't think you said that. I could open hand slap Steve Stylgall who would fall to the ground. But I'd like to do it because he's a piece of shit.

[00:02:32] When you do a Steve Stylgall impression, you actually have to squint your eyes. You do. It actually makes it easier. Yeah, it does. Here's my Steve Stylgall impression when I close my eyes. Or when I squint my eyes. And here's my Steve Stylgall when I don't.

[00:02:47] It's just, I don't want to do it. It's harder to do. It's like you're talking through your thin eyes. Hey, I'm like, hey, hey, bub. I'm gonna kick your butt. He was known to, like he's known in the industry for like actually hitting the stuntman. Like a jerk.

[00:03:04] Like hurting them because he doesn't care and he's. He wants to be tough. Very flippant. I hated those guys that were like, when you grow up and they're in high school and they're like, you know, oh, they're just so cool and tough. And they would purposely hurt people.

[00:03:17] I was at a party when I had graduated high school and there was a guy that was one year younger that will let me named, but he was a high school wrestler. And he, I know who it is. I know it is out of nowhere.

[00:03:28] We were talking at a party. I'm 19, he's 18. And I just said something and he goes, I could probably take you. And it wasn't about fighting. And I was like, we are all drinking obviously. But I was like, okay, whatever.

[00:03:40] And then before I knew what was happening, he shot, you know, with like rest of the shoot. He shot at my hips and took me down at a party. Well, that's not fair. Yeah, I was like, what the fuck is going on? It was so awkward.

[00:03:51] It was so weird. We're like, what the heck bro? Probably back then I was like, dude, don't mess up my piercings on my ear lobes and nose and tongue. You almost tugged my goatee out of my chin into your shell necklace.

[00:04:03] I did not have a book shell necklace. No, no, I have a book shell. Why? You weren't cool. No, I had the frosted tips. Hey, bro, don't mess with my gelled frosted tips. I'm trying to be Mark McGrath over here.

[00:04:14] He looked like the basis from Good Charlotte when I see. Yes. And also I want to point out, I'm not talking about any specific member of Good Charlotte. It's just a general vibe of the kind of guy who would be the basis for Good Charlotte.

[00:04:26] You say the basis from Good Charlotte. Everybody has an idea of what that looks like. That was me. Even if you aren't familiar with the band members of Good Charlotte, you know what that person looks like. I'm not going to lie to you.

[00:04:39] When I see the film Orange County, I think back and say that's when the world was perfect. In the year 2000? Yeah. I'm like, that's when everything was right. Okay, fair enough. It was actually like 2003. Yeah, it was the early years of college. Orange County was 2003.

[00:04:54] But it was like, that was the era of life where I had everything figured out. Well, welcome to the podcast. It's a movie podcast where we're talking about the latest movies we've seen. Some trailers. Sometimes there's a game. There's no game tonight. But sometimes there is.

[00:05:06] How do you know there's not a game? There isn't. Wow, what an episode! Wow, just the listener got excited and then just, you know what? That's fine. That's normal for the show is let's set good expectations and ruin it.

[00:05:20] How do you know you're not going to blow a drop tonight? Wow. Wow. Thanks for setting up nothing. Nothing. So let's see. We always start every episode with Brad bringing the sponsor, of course. So tonight. It takes money to make this happen. People don't realize.

[00:05:35] This is $10,000 an episode. About. It takes almost, we try to cut corners and so it takes large companies like Frito-Lay and PepsiCo to donate to our show. And Ron, those are the same companies. Frito-Lay and PepsiCo? Yeah, Frito-Lay is owned by PepsiCo. Yeah. And that.

[00:05:56] Yeah, but also Enron. Sure. Yeah. Enron Hubbard. Yeah, Elron. Yeah, Elron and Enron. Yep, they're brothers. Yeah. Yeah. But today, Brad. It's a big day. It's a big day. Do you know why, Brad? Hey, Brad. Hey, Brad. Hey, Brad. What's your favorite Canadian memory? Oh, shit.

[00:06:18] I went to Canada. That sounded like a lie. Normally, you lie about having a Canadian girlfriend, but you're just lying about going to Canada. Oh, I've totally been to Canada. I haven't, yeah. Yeah, when you touch the ground, it's all like bags of sand.

[00:06:34] Yeah, no, I've been to Toronto. I've been to the Niagara Falls side of Canada across from Buffalo, New York, which is essentially America. But yeah. I don't remember. Did I ask him? No, but go on. Okay, go on. Just what's your favorite Canadian memory? Well, I'm trying.

[00:06:51] I'm trying to list these places. It's a long lead. And then I went to the western side of Canada, which was, I forget what it was called. Vancouver. No, it wasn't Vancouver. It was the other Victoria something. Victoria Falls? No, not Victoria Jackson.

[00:07:07] That's a seven night live cast member. Victoria Fox? That's Vivica A Fox is what you're thinking of. You're right! You're right! When you're right, you're right! Fuck you, but also, yeah, you're right. There is a Victoria Canada, which is the capital of British Columbia. That's where I went.

[00:07:21] That's where I went. That's where I did the set visit for the Boys 2. The Boys 2? The Boys 2? The Boys 2. The Boys 2 men. Brahms, the Boy 2. Got the Boy 2? Yeah. Brahms, the Boy 2. Victoria Canada seems pretty awesome. No, it's small, but it is. It's very picturesque.

[00:07:37] Oh, Canada's very big. It was a nice place to visit. But yeah. My favorite Canadian memory, honestly, it's a genuine one. It's like my dad's company that used to be American Rubber before it became Unitech, they had a branch in Buffalo, New York.

[00:07:54] And so whenever I wasn't in school, sometimes when I was in school, my dad had business trips and then my mom and I would go and we would just have a mini vacation while my dad was at work and we would just fuck around. Yeah, good times.

[00:08:12] And that was in Buffalo? Yeah, but also in Canada. Now, Brad, this was when your dad was still alive, correct? No, we did this when he was dead. This was last year. Well, the reason that we're bringing this up...

[00:08:25] I gotta tell you, the falls just sucks those ashes right down. He did die going over the falls. We should mention that. Yeah, not on purpose either. Oh, no, no. It was a very slapsticky death. Yeah. Whoa! He was pretending to fall in and then he fell in.

[00:08:41] Hey everybody, look at me. Oh, Ben Cuttlewoods. He was doing an oppression of me when he passed away. Yeah. And he hit and nailed it. He went the way he wanted to. Because if you know Ben, he's basically dead inside. He's dead inside.

[00:08:57] Well, I'm bringing up this because for the first time, I don't know ever, Brad did not bring a sponsor, but he did, but he did the worst. Because I superseded. I went to Toronto, Canada this weekend to visit a different gutter company and Mario is...

[00:09:12] Wouldn't it be funny if that was something that you like regularly did? All the time. This week's gutter visit. And so I went up and I have... Oh, shit. I have some ruffles. Did you bring a... By the way, did you bring a sponsor? I did. Yeah.

[00:09:27] But I'm going to open the bag here. Why don't we do two sponsors? And then I can decide which is the best sponsor. I mean, to be fair, what I brought as a sponsor probably wouldn't mix well with what this is. Go ahead and take one there, Nate.

[00:09:37] Bradford? Okay. Go ahead and lean in here, buddy. All right. I'm smelling the sponsor. This is a chip for those that... The chip smell. This is a chip for those that are listening. It's a ruffled chip, which is my favorite type of chip.

[00:09:51] And the brand name is ruffled. It's not like a generic ridged chips. So, Nate, because you didn't see what this is... What do you think this is? Because Brad knows what it is because he looked at it. There is a... Stop shooting in the mic, Brad.

[00:10:06] There is a... Brad. A burnt... Or like a grilled taste to this, correct? Mm-hmm. Oh, we got another chip to eat real quick. Let's not do it in the mic though. Oh, stop! What's wrong with you? I don't know what this is, but it's good.

[00:10:28] We have less listeners every week and you wonder why. Then we get more... That's not true. We get more listeners. Yeah, we love the sounds. Honestly, even though I know it's on the front of this bag, this would be almost impossible based on the taste of the chip.

[00:10:44] Yeah, I would not have guessed this because I don't know what it is. Honestly, so this is the... It's KFC original recipe chicken. Yeah, no, that's not what it was. Honestly, because I brought that popcorn that one time. That was KFC flavored and that actually did taste more...

[00:10:59] So now though, now that it's been on my taste buds for a while, it's now finishing like a little bit of the original recipe herbs and spices. Okay. A little bit. Yeah, I think I can see what you're talking about. When you're eating it, no way.

[00:11:15] But after the aftertaste, you can feel it coming through. So Brad, this is your sponsor too. I didn't bring it downstairs. What is this? Amateur? Listen, this is the first time that I get the limelight to myself. Why don't you pass those chips over then?

[00:11:29] You said they were very good! Yeah, and also you've already got the special ketchup Pringles. Yeah, I brought you ketchup Pringles. I know. And they're sitting to your right. Hello, almost done. Are you serious? Did you eat the whole two? Not all of it, but I almost...

[00:11:46] It's to the point where he has to tilt it upside down to get the rest of the chips. Good... Oh my God! You just shoved the crumbs from the can. They're gone now. Dude, that can is less than 10 minutes old. What happened? Are you okay?

[00:11:59] Anyway, yeah, well, do you taste what I'm tasting now? Yeah, no. At the end? Here's the thing, even if they didn't taste like original recipe KFC chicken, they were still good. I liked the flavor of them, so... No, it's the aftertaste that gets you.

[00:12:14] It reminds me of KFC. There's also a very good crunch to the chip. Yes. Well, that's a ruffle. That's any ruffle. I know, but I think that was a better ruffle than the American ruffle. So thank you Ontario Canadian Ruffles brand chips. There you go. Delicious.

[00:12:29] We're going to have a few sponsors probably coming up, because I kind of went crazy and bought a bunch of stuff that I'd never seen before up in Canada. And you can go to look at Brad's junk on Instagram

[00:12:39] and you're going to be able to find photos of these things because he's going to post them. Oh yeah, I'll be posting about that. Are you going to do that? Yeah, that's why I bought them for him. Yeah, he got like 10 or 15 things

[00:12:47] and a bunch of them I've never seen before. I thought they were for me to eat. I mean, they're for... Sure. They're for you to enjoy a piece of, but again, I really do feel like... Like they're malocious. Yeah, you're good.

[00:13:01] You've had half a beer and you're acting like you're half... You're spilling them all over yourself. You're actually hammered. These are good. Did you drink before this? Nope. Well anyway, so thanks Ruffles for sponsoring. Yeah, thanks Ruffles and KFC. And honestly, even though you sponsored in Canadian dollars,

[00:13:23] they gave us 10,000 Canadian dollars, which is $4.50 US. What is PFC? Is that the French name for KFC? Yeah. It says KFC PFK in the same font. And so that was... Oh. So what is it? Peri-funky chicken. Peri-funky... It wouldn't be fried? No, because they don't say like...

[00:13:47] It wouldn't be fried. The F would not stay ever fried in PFK. No. For a Kentucky Fried Chicken. Okay. It would be... Are you dumb? In funky. In French, PFK is poilette in Kentucky, which is chicken in Kentucky. What's the F? Fried. Fried. Fried. Oh. It's a chip.

[00:14:08] Poilette frite Kentucky. Hey num-nuts, what's the last movie you saw? Jesus Christ. Poilette frite Kentucky. I'm... My name is François and I love Poteet-pour-her-pour-her-bonz-jouler. Okay. Oh, okay. Hi-ha. What? That's a French donkey. Hi-ha. This is a weird episode already. I don't like any of this.

[00:14:37] The French do-it-the-French donkey say hi-ha. Hi-ha. Oh my God. Hey. You idiot. Ben, Ben, get on his level please. Yeah, I'm definitely not punmaster 5000 over here. Yeah, I got the joke the fucking fourth time you said it. The second time I've... Good Lord.

[00:15:04] It is just as good as the first time. Nate, what's the last movie you saw, buddy? Oh. Brad, officially take a couple plays off. I'm on this team. No. Only for a little while longer. You're benched for a bit. So I saw a... 2000... I was assigned a film.

[00:15:24] Wait, did you guys assign me a film this week? Yeah, dummy. What was that? No, I didn't get assigned a film though. Yeah, you did. No, he didn't. Yes, he gave you Alien. He did it on the podcast.

[00:15:35] Yeah, but no, he didn't do it in the text drive where we were actually assigned. Oh my... Oh, so it wasn't official. So you just didn't say anything? You just decided to fucking sit around and be like,

[00:15:43] I'm gonna let him find out I want to do the troll. Do you remember when you were in school? Like, you wouldn't tell the teacher, hey, you didn't assign us homework. I just assigned that in person. I didn't text you it. So you definitely didn't do the homework.

[00:15:54] No, teachers only texted you to follow up the thing they gave you in person. Yeah, he fucking got you. You didn't really actually assign it to me because it wasn't in the syllabus. Oh my... He was just fine with not watching another movie that we assigned him.

[00:16:06] Well, it's a horror movie and so he just doesn't want to watch that. But I did watch a film assigned to me last week. All that jazz. Called Team America World Police. Here we go. We don't have to watch it. We don't have to talk about it.

[00:16:19] You son of a... Now he's trying to use it against me. Listen, I get what he's doing. It's not gonna work. Yeah. It's a 2004 Marionette film. If you like Marionettes and Puppetry. That's how I would convince somebody to watch Team America World Police. Do you like Marionettes?

[00:16:36] It's a 2004 Marionette film. Marionette film. Which is the first film since 1968 made fully in Marionettes. You're welcome. Directed and written by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Matt Stone. The guys that do South Park. And so this film was hilarious. It was so much fun.

[00:16:58] And it's what's great about it. It's an hour and a half. It's a breeze to watch. But it was interesting watching this. And I wondered how it was received when it came out in 2004. We're still in Iraqi war kind of Afghan war.

[00:17:11] So the commentary has to be very sharp. Now I looked this up because I was really interested in the political kind of nature of this film. And the Matt Stone and Trey Parker are both like about libertarians. Which means they don't like war.

[00:17:30] They don't like spending on war. But it also means that they're not afraid to offend either side in the political scale. Right. Yeah. And so you have to remember for those of you that never watched South Park.

[00:17:42] They made fun of Scientology even though Isaac Hayes was a devout Scientologist and was voicing chef on their show. I think to the point where he quit. I say he quit. So they really don't give a fuck in the best way ever. Yeah. And religion.

[00:17:56] They don't care about like there's really isn't anything off the table. They don't ever punch down. You know, they still do punch up but it's all on the table. But what was fun about this film is seeing all the nuances to films like this. Right.

[00:18:12] So we talked about Steven Segold when we started this podcast and the kind of owed to the 90s and 80s action films. 100%. Where the American action star is the hero. Right. And it's what was fun about this is the nuances even in the soundtrack work right

[00:18:33] even the score. Are you talking about America? Fuck yeah. I'm talking about even like that that stuff is really funny but even in like the West Wing type of like orchestral stuff when they're going to talk seriously. Right. Like it was very like purposeful.

[00:18:55] This is how it's played. And so seeing the multiple layers that went into making this film to create the satire that it was was a lot of fun to kind of look behind the curtains. Sure. And this this was a lot of fun.

[00:19:09] It was silly but it was fun. If you had to guess like if you had either a like a cup or a bucket or a swimming pool how much volume of puppet vomit do you think that they used a decent amount here.

[00:19:27] Here's one of the things that made me uncomfortable was the puppet nudity which made me understand why Brad loves this. It's so funny. You like this one though. I love this movie so much.

[00:19:39] It is and like the fact that it holds up even just shows like how good their satire is. This fits Brad so well. It's just great because like they took so many influences from Michael Bay to like

[00:19:49] even lifting like direct lines from his movies basically all the worst parts of the Bible. You know it's just I love this movie so much. No it was written in a time where again America good everyone else bad right right.

[00:20:04] And the reality is though is they're not afraid to say like there are bad people in this world like King John ill is certainly a bad person right. So in the weirdest thing to me about to America is they take shots across the bow to everybody right.

[00:20:19] Of course they do but I wonder I know that they were playing it up you know with Alec Baldwin and Susan Sarandon. But Matt Damon yeah is sure he's a liberal guy and I figured he might be off limits just because he's not an asshole.

[00:20:40] He's not staunchly weird about his beliefs. He's just a normal person but they really went after him and I always wondered is that is that a specifically so if I if I remember correctly that because

[00:20:50] if you don't know sorry in this movie Matt Damon's character is Matt Damon and Matt Damon. Yeah that's all he says whenever he speaks he says his own name like an idiot. He's a fucking moron right and I'm like in my head I'm like those two should be

[00:21:03] on the same side or those three should be on the same side so. So if I remember correctly I believe and I think it's Matt Damon who talked about this is that initially when the movie came out he like was like he

[00:21:14] he wasn't mad but he felt bad because he was like is this how I come off like in like in the public you know in the media is like he's like it made me be inspected and that sounds like a Matt Damon answer yeah to

[00:21:24] that question but then and then later he talked about he realized like he eventually like took it in stride and like understood those very funny and I think that he's the one who said that either he found either he found

[00:21:34] this out or that Trace Stone and Matt Parker eventually like talked about at some point why was it Trace Parker and Matt Stone. You said Trace Stone and Matt Parker did I oh yeah okay it was pretty great

[00:21:45] well they so they they if they said this though so what the basically what it was is they knew they wanted to do Matt Damon but they got the puppet and they saw how it looked.

[00:21:57] And that is fucking true that's fantastic yeah and I think I think that's what it was is like that's because I know because I can just keep going I can think about this they get the puppet and Matt and Tray are

[00:22:11] sitting there looking at it like yeah that's not really and then one of them goes yeah it's almost like he would only say Matt Damon and they were like oh fuck it that's right yeah we're doing so yeah I think I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere.

[00:22:22] So we just at the arcade we just got in a brand new pinball machine is John Wick and there's of course a cartoonish life like personas of all the characters in in the movie movies all four movies and everybody looks pretty

[00:22:36] detail specific like that looks like Keanu Reeves you know that looks like the actor that played Vigo that looks like blah blah blah and then Ian McShane looks like a melted wax figure for some reason with dead eyes

[00:22:50] and I'm like I'm and he also is the only one much like Richard Dreyfus for Jaws in the pinball re-recorded some lines just pinball specific so Ian McShane saying like you might lose your life or you'll save the ball

[00:23:03] or whatever he recorded these lines and yet his character on the on the artwork looks so melted and shitty that I'm like what a slap in the face of that guy what I loved about when I was researching this film a little bit

[00:23:16] after where I watched it was initially when they wrote this film and they started to film this film they found that you know they made it a lot more slapsticky in the original version of it and they found that it was taking

[00:23:30] away from the actual humor of the film the humor of this film is actually doing a serious film with puppets exactly a hundred percent so like they they they tone down the jokes that they were making and

[00:23:41] actually just try to do a kind of serious film that it's not super serious but it's somewhat serious film take down the slaps funny just let the Marionette when the marionette says the rest of the Bible that's funny

[00:23:55] yeah right it's funny with sorry puppets with grovy tosses funny yeah right so that's it is it and but to your point too it holds up of course you watch it today it's just as funny as it was back then

[00:24:08] what was interesting about it again though is that they had actually filmed a decent amount of you know first act before they realized that so they had to go back and re-film some of this so the film got delayed

[00:24:18] because like this isn't the film we want to make yeah right and also they had never worked necessarily with marionettes before oh no yeah there was tons of trial and error so they were just like yeah we

[00:24:28] want to do a puppet movie and they're like so they hired all the best people that do marionette for real and then they found out like you have to build specific sets and models and these are people that do

[00:24:37] marionettes for film right there just marionette people that do it on the streets of LA that is one of the coolest parts about this is the technical specifics you need to get because you're filming this with it was multiple multiple marionettes it's this isn't

[00:24:53] one or two in a scene like their scenes where there's dozens yeah and I feel like this film has become a cult classic but I think commercially all that successful it made money right I think it was a this is the crazy thing a film with marionettes

[00:25:08] got a thirty two million dollar budget yeah right that's a pretty large I think substance of budget South Park was is still this huge but back then it was enormous right everybody had a kill candy t-shirt on I mean 2004 was the heyday of those guys yeah but

[00:25:23] that's a big risk I'm sure we're gonna make a marionette that is about the war you know essentially bringing in a lot of the elements of I mean at that point trade parker and Matt Stone could just do whatever they wanted to that's how that's my bush

[00:25:35] ended up on Comedy Central you know a sitcom following stupid George W. Bush in the White House so just George W. Bush but we have fun here we're having fun here guys but it only made fifty one million so thirty two million dollar budget fifty

[00:25:48] one million which is thinking about all the things that happens but it's not it's you know it's like anymore if a film doesn't make ten times the budget they're not happy right do you know if there are marionette action figures for

[00:26:01] team America world world police no I don't think they did any action figures when we came out and I would love how about you get probably buy the original props done I did most sequel I did confirm that they did change the Matt Damon because the

[00:26:15] puppet puppet looked bad they didn't have time to do a new one and rather because because the original role for Matt Damon was that he was just as smart and articulate as all so I'm really hoping then that even back then that those two guys

[00:26:28] reached out to me like hey we're gonna do this do you think that that I doubt it no why would you you know usually let it happen it's tough hey good person we're gonna hurt you forever yeah poor format I still say his name like that

[00:26:43] don't you yeah of course why wouldn't I yeah and I like alright the other film I saw I went to the theater to appease my buddy Brad because nobody else is going to theater to see a film called bad boys ride whoa whoa whoa

[00:27:00] lots people went to the theater over the past two weeks the last two weeks but didn't like the thing that he weeks before they're gonna see bad boys yeah actually bad boys did pretty well all things considered all things consider

[00:27:11] it's it's a hundred million dollar budget which is a ton but hundred million dollar budget and it's at roughly 300 million yeah it's doing I feel like that's a success right worldwide business overall good movie so buddy cop you

[00:27:25] know you said it was a good movie I didn't say it was a good movie I said that we said we said the first act sucked and definitely and it's better and the and the visuals and

[00:27:33] action are on par but I don't think it's a good movie you know what I love though stop stop stop stop there was something I loved about this film that I want to talk about because I was watching I thought I'm gonna bring this

[00:27:43] up on the podcast I really like Martin Lawrence in this I thought he was really good yeah he was he was like I think like like genuinely I hadn't seen him in years like since the 90s and he didn't annoy you in the first act no he didn't

[00:27:56] annoy me he was silly and he was old too silly in the first act really yeah I felt like he was doing like a pep do bismol commercial so Nate just real quick big fan of Martin Lawrence in the 90s yeah I mean like there

[00:28:07] was enough Martin Lawrence stuff what does that mean to know there's a definite like the like the man of Martin Lawrence only gonna be in the 90s Martin Lawrence in the in the 90s when he at the show Martin when his costar had

[00:28:20] a restraining order against him and he threatened to kill her and stuff like that wait really didn't happen 100% look it up Google it I haven't heard this yeah he's not a great guy back then now I don't know what has

[00:28:32] happened since but you know you guys you love our Lawrence so really this then Ben Brad and I didn't know it wouldn't see that because we were ignorant why did you go and see it then some a few good men lawyer and right I got lawyer

[00:28:55] and lawyer you guys know me I try to come back I'm gonna come quick with a good comeback I got fucking come quick and that's why there was a restraining order and smart man I didn't know I had no idea I didn't

[00:29:10] know that we were supposed to cancel him kind of a piece of shit back sure look it up you know look it up but at the end of the day so like seriously this is true why did you go and see him

[00:29:22] why did you go see Tom Cruise movies we've talked about this I don't know we said this we said I can't believe you know that's not a butter you keep seeing these Tom Cruise movies and Brad and I have been saying for years

[00:29:33] he's not a great guy but you just constantly keep going Nate I think Nate's weakness is probably Brad Pitt Brad I do love Brad Pitt that's hard it actually I will say this anybody in my life anybody that pours beer

[00:29:48] on their kids is OK in Nate Laugh's book print it put it in the paper I poured your kids tomorrow Nate Laugh couple weeks ago that man I key to the city I watched money ball and I love for him yeah and I poured beer all

[00:30:02] over my kids I said Finn take it you know what this is I OK so let's have that let's have a quick sidebar conversation about this who do you think is the easiest actor to give that grace to Woody Allen

[00:30:24] because I know like I don't give a shit about Kevin Spacey it's easy for me to dismiss him in his acting career I don't need verbal Kent to be you know in my life I don't give a fuck it's harder when it's somebody like Tom

[00:30:37] Cruise or Brad Pitt because of the pantheon of incredible films that they've been in right and been part of so it can be very hard to separate art and arts we've had that conversation but I for me I think that honestly it

[00:30:49] would probably if I if I was truly concerned with the problematic behavior of somebody but I give them a pass because of the movies it's Tom Cruise it's just over and over again I mean he's definitely the one that I

[00:31:01] give the most most yeah the way and we should you guys admit he's a piece of shit he is he is a piece of shit you can't discount psychology but you guys do love his and I love his movies it's I

[00:31:14] love his personality actually bread hates his films loves his personality yes sir so for me probably the person that I give the biggest pass to is Steve Correll what's fuck off easily he's just like famously one of the nice I was going to I thought you

[00:31:31] could just say Tom Hanks and be done with it yeah you know what I do I give Tom Hanks a lot of gravity time or gravity test wrong word a lot of grace yeah fuck off no there are those people though

[00:31:44] right that we make I'll still what listen hot take I'll still watch Mr. Rogers old episodes do you watch films of Brad Pitt's and I'm still well yeah okay do you either are there anybody that you won't watch films with because they're at that's actually that's

[00:32:02] a great that's a really good question I don't know that oh you know what I don't go out of my way if I'm on if I'm on the on the fence about a movie that Mel Gibson is in honestly because I

[00:32:13] love action films and he is still doing those things where like revenge films and like I'm coming back I'm gonna kill you cuz you hurt my family I will definitely not cuz you're black I don't care that you're wearing a armor Duke

[00:32:26] I think Mel Gibson is fine with black people he doesn't like Jewish come on who's that's not me come on me yeah that is you know no fucking leave that in you were so quick to say that it wasn't you we're leaving me

[00:32:40] you as I saw you frantically pushing me fuck you anyway I honestly I will I will specifically take a pass on his films like and mostly because mostly because they are no longer what they used to be as far as like this is not you know this is

[00:32:56] Vince Vaughn and sublock 99 whatever which I watched that film and I actually really liked it but he does these kind of like they're not be movies but they're all movies yeah you know and so I can take him or leave him if Mel Gibson was in an

[00:33:09] A-list move let's say that George Miller got him to like be the bad guy in the third Mad Max Fero saga film yeah I would probably see that film but it's easier for me to take a pass on the some of the bullshit these dragging

[00:33:23] out now you know what if it's him directing lethal weapon 5 you're seeing that you're standing lover yeah of course I'm in if it's Dan lovers and I'm in okay he's a skilled director I mean again you cannot discount a lot of these people in there in their artistry

[00:33:39] would you watch Chesney Mel Gibson movie with milk is that our short snagers start well come on man fuck off of course I would no Gibson's only directing it yes of course that makes it easier right because you only direct me I don't

[00:33:54] see him Mel Gibson is funding the movie with money from the Nazi party but the problem is you don't know who funds most movies but you know this one how would I know I told you entertainment news reporter either now hey man see they're making movies

[00:34:11] with Nazi gold start all around right now whose father was a Nazi is that all you watch Nate I did watch one more film we got it was at the first movie the second okay I watched the film called if hold on hold on hold on

[00:34:32] I'm readjusted Ben had a cramp from sitting right this is a film written directed in starring John Krasinski indeed I've either of you seen this film no I talked about on this podcast and you know the answer I really wanted to

[00:34:48] hated this film wait I didn't hate this film but I didn't love this film there you go so it was in a good film no I don't think it's a good thing I think it's a fine film okay you guys with your fine you're good

[00:35:05] what is your very adjective for no no no describe your feeling on something hold on Brad Nate is John Krasinski behind me is he somehow doing the office thing was looking over here like slightly wicked the fucking camera like oh Jim help you fucking weirdo why whose

[00:35:25] feelings are you fucking protect it's fine it's a fine film it's a good it's a fine there's a lot to like about this yeah there's some movies that they're just fine that don't say bad because so for me no fuck you but you

[00:35:37] both say fine it's bad it depends on the tone I like the tone of this film that a creator world that I liked I created what I liked you can't disagree between them oh I just didn't feel like the story impacted

[00:35:50] me the way that it should have yeah I liked the plot like I like where they were going with a lot of this you also like was in the 1990s I can't trust your opinion there was a lot to do in this film and it was a

[00:36:03] bit did you fund if like why is it defensive of this I'm just I'm just I'm just so mad that you guys can't say it's a bad movie first of all I was very no he I was pretty negative about it yeah he just likes to

[00:36:15] Martin I think yeah I think I liked it a little bit better than he did because there were some emotional elements to this film that I like for sure and I think a man a man bears his soul making a movie for his

[00:36:26] kids and you just I just you know how hard it is to make a film do you know how hard it is to wake up in your million dollar mansion and and go and do a movie about the you just have to

[00:36:36] you get to phone it in well I don't think he's going then I do think you had that's directly from slash from dot com you said I didn't know because he phones this one in it's actually a little bit reminded me of

[00:36:48] where the wild things are did you guys see that film I did where there was a little more to the film that I wanted to exist than existed yeah and I thought they almost got it they almost got it but there was just it

[00:37:03] didn't hit it I'm not doing a bit was it was it just because it was literally it was too much of a this is an important film this is a nostalgia this is a this is a Gravitas laden oh my kids type

[00:37:16] thing where they push it was he pushing that angle too hard no so this film was an hour or four minutes I think they would have made it an hour for yeah it's not an hour and four minutes I mean six 64 minutes yeah it's

[00:37:29] not an hour sorry sorry a hundred four minutes sorry if they would have made it is probably a hundred twenty minutes I think they could have included some of the emotional elements that I was missing in this film see that

[00:37:40] see for me I wish they would have cut it down to sixty four no no no no I think every time they got a little like the film one of you wanted to be longer to make it better one of you

[00:37:52] wanted to make it shorter to make it better I just think that there was more to this film that could have happened like it was shot beautifully I think it's a finally shot film oh no it looks great because I mean the he got Janusz

[00:38:02] Kyminski is a very good director Ben's gonna let me like oh yeah Janusz Kyminski Janusz Kyminski is a phenomenal cinematographer who has worked with Steven Spielberg a bunch I thought you were gonna say he's working with Steven Segola and by the way

[00:38:16] you guys it was a finally shot film just say it was a goodly shot film um but like I said but some of the the voice acting was very good I just didn't resonate with some of the like they would get you connected to a character

[00:38:31] and then not finish the story exactly yes right and so it was like did those characters both have both parents no oh okay well there's a dead parent story so for me I'm good right dead mom I'm there you're fine but and then

[00:38:47] it was almost a dead dad so I thought well spoiler alert no this late it has there was enough there that you almost got it you almost got it just didn't get it for me yeah exactly it it didn't resonate with me for whatever

[00:39:01] reason and I think it's because both sides of the coin felt half baked like that they didn't just they didn't quite weren't able to tap deep enough into either one to really to make either a good family fantasy adventure or a really good tiered jerking family movie

[00:39:19] yep agreed in it existed in the in-between and it didn't hit the Mars for either one yeah though there were some things about this film I really liked I think Kayleigh Kayleigh Fleming I think is her name does very good in this

[00:39:32] film she's a good actress I actually really liked Fiona Shaw on this as well she was she was the grandmother yeah I think she did some really good things in there there was good voice in this film sure Ryan Reynolds you don't need Ryan Reynolds in this film

[00:39:46] that's the hard thing when you have Ryan Reynolds in a film you're expecting a certain thing in a film yeah now because of Deadpool because of things and I actually think having him in the film almost hurt the film because you didn't get any Ryan Reynolds in this

[00:40:00] film right like of the of the traditional Ryan Reynolds type yeah and so I almost think there could have been a different actor in this that would have fit that role a little better but it needed a little more emotional resonance that didn't

[00:40:14] exist in this film which saddens me because I think this could have been a really important film right it's about growing up and losing losing our imagination better movie our sense of wonder better movie which if or the atom project Wow I actually like the atom project

[00:40:30] I really like the other I think I think I did end up enjoying the atom project more but it's all but more than it but yeah but I had but I also have that where they know where they were still on the cusp of doing something that could

[00:40:44] have been really cool but it didn't quite stick the landing yeah I mean that project was like a 70% Ryan tomato so it was I think a better reviewed film but and I think I think that needed Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Reynolds did really well especially when

[00:40:58] you put that kid in there who is like a mini Ryan yeah they just had a great chemistry and so they had the chemistry there and so I liked that element of it I don't think it was a groundbreaking film or anything I think if could

[00:41:10] have been a film could have been a film that taught kids a lot about growing up will the sequel be an adult then they're just dead on the vine they gave a little fart laugh okay yeah a little puppy laugh so yeah I just

[00:41:29] didn't think it was great I wanted more from it the trailers were better than the film was I still I didn't regret seeing the film but I understood what you were saying about the film so it's not just me it was it was fine

[00:41:43] it was fine take that Krasinski it was sorry John again you leave now giving me that that look off camera like but again Krasinski directs like I call him crass the problem with this film was not as directing it was just writing would you agree like

[00:42:03] yeah the film looks great imagine if you just really did know like imagine if Brad wrote a film and he and he was being very famous and and directed it and then Nate and I watched it and then went back stage afterwards and we're like hey man

[00:42:21] the problem isn't that you directed it the problem is that you wrote it it would be so damaging to his psyche but hopefully John Krasinski I think that I just love John Krasinski the weakness in the film is not the pressure

[00:42:37] hey if someone's gonna be honest with him you know the weakness in the film is not how it looks it looks to protect his feelings in that regard the film script for instance like Steve Carell's voice character there he's a

[00:42:51] major part of the trailer and he's a major part of the film but there's times where he just disappears yeah right well he's an imaginary creature so he would disappear no but like but you need to have that you didn't have that if character that was the

[00:43:05] the main character yeah right I mean you kind of at the end it kind of buttons it up a little bit but like during the whole of the film it's like well where did that character go yeah 100% is that everything you watched that's all I watched

[00:43:17] Brad when are you gonna see Inside Out 2 this week Finn asked me yeah hurry okay yeah don't wait well you want to talk about with somebody or what I just want other people to see it okay I heard it was just okay yeah I heard it was fine

[00:43:31] your trash you're not talking to John Krasinski so back it up back that asset what's the last movie you saw Num Nuts I only watched one this week so I wanted to get you to say your nine movies first oh I didn't watch nine movies I watched 12 exactly

[00:43:49] I only watched a few I watched Bratz which is based on the doll it's an anime film that was released on I honest to God I wish you had a bit where you like wrote down all of these weird animated movies Bratz goes to Hollywood Bratz versus Predator

[00:44:13] and that's not the movie you think it is that is a very Chris Hansen like I'm gonna show up and it's more of a doll it's more of a PSA than anything I'm still in these mics hearts aren't gonna drink themselves Bratz no so I watched time

[00:44:37] oh wait did you go to check it we don't lose this gold check in the cash make sure you put the time code in I watched The Watchers in theaters this is the first movie from Ishana Night Shyamalan she's a film maker now

[00:45:17] and she made her first movie and it very much feels like an M Night Shyamalan movie in that way is this just kind of a twist no there's I mean it would be amazing she's like I don't want to go full dad but the turn is

[00:45:33] they were brothers it's not necessarily the kind of twist you would expect from an M Night Shyamalan movie there is a twist but it's a little bit different if that makes sense like once you see the movie you'll understand how it just feels like

[00:45:49] just a normal twist and not specifically an M Night Shyamalan twist those are mindfights good or bad they're mindfights but it's pretty good for a first film like this she's definitely a style very ambiance and like set the tone and everything I'm just not sure that I was

[00:46:11] super into the story it was more fantasy tinged than I expected almost like if M Night Shyamalan and Guillermo del Toro made a movie together so more lady in the water ask not quite because the tone of lady in the water has more of a fairy tale

[00:46:33] approach to it and this is very much like full fantasy horror full Lord of the Rings Pan's Labyrinth not Lord of the Rings but fantasy sure but not the same kind of fantasy this film was not reviewed all that well no it got mixed reviews

[00:46:51] but for the most part I enjoyed it I liked the kind of thrills it had offered the mystery was compelling enough I was curious about what was happening I was like I'm gonna go get some money because you're shitting all over he's right behind you

[00:47:07] and what a twist so but enough that you think is it ashanna has a unique enough perspective that she can become she is fully capable and this was a promising debut it's her first film very interested to see what she does

[00:47:29] I didn't know if it was written by her but I knew it was so there you go I also saw Hitman which is a movie that Nate talked about recently it is the latest film from Richard Linklater starring Glenn Powell my mom hated this film

[00:47:49] I don't know how you hate this with Adira Arjona who have just the massive truck did you just clear your throat it really got worse somehow it did get this is Nate's new character a guy that has a guttural vibe on everything blah blah blah blah blah

[00:48:11] no no I did like this film apparently Ben's mom did not she hated it she was just so boring are you kidding me this is so much fun it has like a 96% of ride in tomatoes yeah and it has the vibe of the kind of like

[00:48:27] mid 90s movie that they don't really make anymore Glenn Powell is just magic in this for the first 10-15 minutes I was like oh ok he's playing a quirky character that's fine and then he started getting into the different Hitman characters

[00:48:41] and I was like oh ok Glenn Powell is fucking awesome you get him right you're like oh I get Glenn Powell now this dude is a leading man yeah exactly this movie is a lot of fun I'm honestly kind of surprised that your mom didn't like it

[00:48:53] but you have also like smaller character Reda does really fun things in this right in the chemistry real quick mom hey did you watch that movie did you watch that movie Hitman on Netflix with Glenn Powell yes and what did you think it's

[00:49:15] the scene stretched out too long it was somewhat entertaining but they just played everything it was too long we talked about it and I thought you said it was boring yeah kinda kinda boring so much back and on for though overall did you like it or not

[00:49:37] well we watched it well Tim liked it better than you full disclosure you're on the podcast right now I just called you randomly because we're talking about this movie and I said my mom didn't really like it and they're like why

[00:49:51] I just thought it could have done better and like I said I thought each individual scene stretched out way too long did dad stay awake the whole time he did oh well then it's a good movie that is true and the ending if I recall I'm like what

[00:50:07] the ending was kinda lame but I don't remember what it was now to be fair my mom does watch like 19 movies a week so she's conflating two different movies right now because you are officially a cinephile now that you are retired well thank you very much

[00:50:21] for answering my call I will talk to you very soon love you see you so you said she hated it well okay maybe I maybe it's for effect captain exegerando over here so my mom clearly maybe liked it a little bit more than I let out

[00:50:39] however she did say that it drug on a little bit do you agree with that or not no I didn't think that yeah I mean you dragged it on honestly please don't ruin it for me but do you think she just because she's

[00:50:51] 67 so she was confused by the ending or she just didn't get why I get why she didn't like the ending okay I will watch this next week and I will come back and be like I agree with my mom I understand why she didn't like the ending

[00:51:05] I guess so yeah but again though Glenn Powell in this he just continues to impress yeah he's fantastic I'm very excited to continue watching and their chemistry in this film is just electric yes they have very sexy oh it's a it's a very sexy comedy yeah way sexier

[00:51:25] chemistry and like vibe between him and how yeah here then Sidney Sweeney what's her name a there are whole okay again you're not allowed to say that Brad Andrea Argen she's in the new film I really like Andrea Argen you know one of the things I really

[00:51:45] like about Andrea Argen is the way that she licks Glenn Powell's taint she's in the new film starring Zoe Kravitz or not starring directed by Zoe Kravitz Blink twice starring and she's in that and she's been in a lot of other things she's

[00:52:01] like she's one of those people that you can tell has a budding career yeah has done quite a bit of stuff okay 100% I also saw step up hold for a pause I was just the dance movie yes the dance I thought this is like a new movie

[00:52:18] did any of us like give you that yeah what my fiance Brittany gave me this movie no she's as obviously as a girl growing up in the early 2000s she got very invested in speaking of Channing Tatum yeah no I've only seen step up to the streets

[00:52:38] now should I go back and watch you get a lot of lower building okay yeah in step up you know it really sets the stage I what's the come I really do feel like it's called step up to the streets it is okay thank God yes

[00:52:52] but it's step up the number two cop holding the streets no no I think it's just step up to the streets ooh yeah exactly here's a great thing about this is there colon step up ahead of like a 12 million dollar budget mm-hmm and they made like yeah 20 million

[00:53:10] huge huge huge hit step up to several more colon the streets yes so this movie is directed by any Fletcher of all people who directed a little movie that I know Nate loves called the proposal and Channing Tatum stars in this as does his now ex-wife Jenny

[00:53:30] Dewin this is actually how they met Jenna Jenna sure more like Jenna doing Channing Tatum on the set will not anymore not anymore on the set well maybe though I mean about the prior professional clearly not you don't think that they were not

[00:53:44] all they boned on the set on the set at least in a trailer on the set she also directed a film called dumpling if you guys ever see that one I haven't the film with Amy Schumer and Jennifer Anderson right Jennifer Anderson I didn't know Amy

[00:53:58] Schumer's in it but Jennifer Anderson is for sure we're by Amy Schumer cool you guys want to keep talking or so step up is serious no so cheesy and it's so funny because there's been a few times now where Brittany has had me

[00:54:16] watch like one of those like quintessential teenage movies and she realizes how bad they are and this was one of them she saw it when she was 14 yeah exactly but she's like the dancing isn't even as good as I thought he was you know

[00:54:30] so what's the one with not not Kirsten Dunst but the woman that's in Julia Styles what's that one save the last dance yeah that is if you look at just go over YouTube dance scene save the last dance and that's some real tough well but the trick

[00:54:52] well the trick is is they're blending hip hop with ballet it's it's rough but again film that like made 10 times of course because every 12 year olds 14 to 16 year old girls like yes they can do it so cheaply they make these films very cheap yeah 10 million

[00:55:10] dollars because they pay actresses that can't dance no actually Jenna doing this not gonna do what I'm talking about I think Jenna doing was actually a dancer she's a professional dancer yeah she had a body to prove it mom I'm trying to do this

[00:55:22] that she couldn't know Jenna doing though anyway she was doing lots of okay that's the that's my joke that you just repurposed yeah but mine was clean and that's what Jesus like is that really you watch no oh my see I told

[00:55:40] you 19 movies no because I was assigned a movie by my friend Nate who knows this means that I was probably assigned a movie that I didn't watch because I honestly wrecking my brain I was in a stand I watched it dummy it's me

[00:55:52] that I signed you okay we'll get there then did you really forget I really know I'm not doing a bit I really this motherfucker I was in Toronto I had to go see see all my I bought you so many fucking snacks for your junk

[00:56:04] page I had to have fresh maple syrup from the forest what oh I had to go see the red wings play that's Detroit and my fucking idiot my old hockey lake who is this carrot Canadian man that's an old woman and you know it well you know

[00:56:24] that's Betty white from Lake Placid if she lived in Canada Canadian Ben has seen some shit I don't talk like this eh I watched a movie called lean on me that Nate assigned me this is a movie starring Morgan Freeman and it's directed by John G. Alvidsen

[00:56:42] who directed some movies you might like Ben have you ever heard of a little movie called Predator Rocky I thought it was the long or a movie called the karate kid never heard of these no good for them well let me tell you

[00:56:58] something okay actually now I need to look that up because like it's karate kid three I think it's the next karate kid with what's her nuts he did karate kid part two she died with the neck injury with inclinations right who I think it was

[00:57:16] oh I was right okay yeah because you made me second guess myself because I was like oh yes the loan could have directed but who's the who's the actual swank oh millen dollar baby yes that's that's the movie I was talking about but the next karate kid was

[00:57:28] Hillary swank the next million dollar baby me um do we when's he moving to Texas when are we getting into co-host couple weeks okay so this is a movie that is definitely fits into a sub genre of dramas and that is the this is a quintessential

[00:57:46] 80s movie for me yeah this this is the story of the teacher who takes over a completely like chaotic and just down try to beat the hell school with like the worst city school yeah they just need some guidance you know we got they either need

[00:58:00] Morgan Freeman or would be Goldberg yeah I'm sorry or Michelle Pfeiffer yeah that's the one it's based on a true story right yeah this is based on a true story and so like it follows in the same footsteps as like you know a dangerous minds or

[00:58:14] it doesn't follow in the footsteps because this came first and then deliver yeah I said movies like no you said you did not do that yeah I did play it back you can't do that oh sorry it's not like a thing

[00:58:28] well you know the listener heard you so it's not the NFL anyway how was Michelle Pfeiffer um so this uh this movie is solid for sure um I was not expecting Morgan Freeman to be such a tyrannical yeah he really is yeah he plays a character

[00:58:46] named Joe Morgan yeah Joe Clark Joe Clark I thought you were doing a weird bit no no I've seen this movie like four or five times yeah I watched it quite often actually when I was younger I didn't realize how much of this movie

[00:59:00] uh high school high it was based on yes because there are so many other movies like this sure and I was like oh yeah it's just the generic like someone coming to help an urban school you know parody movie what's funny is is like you really

[00:59:12] I went and looked and like these were really prominent from like the mid 80s to the mid 90s there was like almost like one a year save the school movies yeah exactly and like the tough teachers got teach the kids lessons so they can get good life

[00:59:26] and then also uh the parodies of course high school high and all but then Cartman on South Park of course yeah how do I teach these how do I reach these keys yeah exactly um so but this was it's a good

[00:59:38] movie though you know it's uh Morgan Freeman doing what Morgan Freeman does yeah he man he's got some monologues in this movie totally totally Morgan Freeman vibe um and chains on the doors yeah just like and honestly it's not I was I was thinking that it might

[00:59:52] have uh not aged very well because of how it deals with it but honestly their approach to like kids who come from troubled backgrounds and stuff like that like it's a hard you know lesson that he and how he's teaching it you know and and he learned

[01:00:06] lessons too of like the bad way to do it but honestly I feel like it's still you know resonates today with you know the kind of problems that people have in education and things like that you know yeah so so yeah Joe Clark as a whole is that's

[01:00:25] a real fart bended so Joe Clark as a whole is is this like former drill sergeant in the military and and I think what I loved about it is there was he certainly is the hero of this film but he does have to learn

[01:00:46] some things as well right and so um I don't think it ages perfectly like you know uh the pedagogy isn't perfect and no of course not but I loved Morgan Freeman this film this is the first time I saw Morgan Freeman in I think

[01:01:00] that I or at least the first film that I saw Morgan Freeman in that I thought that guy is magnetic right um and there was enough about this film that just kept me interested even as a kid when I saw it yeah

[01:01:12] um I do I remember seeing it as a kid and I was I saw it before I went to high school yep yep and so I just thought again you're right the heyday of these films we made but this is by far one of the

[01:01:24] if not the best version for sure so I'm glad you liked it because I did I thought it was a good film yeah it has a good soundtrack and Nate you want to talk into the microphone instead of just around it I do talk in the microphone

[01:01:36] no I don't know I feel like the listener once get what is it be of all the people by the way that doesn't talk in the microphone it's been it's just you're just over here talking just just we tell the guests when they're here yeah

[01:01:50] you gotta talk into it you know what Nate Ben's right why don't you be a professional like him and pour your drink into them oh fuck off with the whole ruffles of first of all our fans like that they don't they don't they specifically

[01:02:04] tuna I promise you expect the comedy to come from the there is a on most apps there is either a 15 second or a 30 second fast forward I promise you I hope somebody actually comments this that yes I do hit the 30 second fast

[01:02:18] when I'm gonna guess they're like I'm gonna guess no there's no fucking the fun of the sponsor but they definitely don't want to hear you pissing into a cup while you're they definitely don't want to hear your stupid fucking jolly disgusting mandible bullshit

[01:02:34] I guarantee you here's a review right here I hate the fact that they chew into the microphones great now five star apple podcast thank you dolly llama movie knowledge this team is jammed packed with movie knowledge trivia and rare facts mostly been making them up lol great people

[01:02:52] so that means they love us they don't love you read a review that had nothing to do with what I talked about no but came up with but then please mention it as a bad thing yeah implicit in that review though

[01:03:04] is they love Brad and I this is you putting words in people's mouths which here's the thing is and Brad are so fucking good at they named you as the one that makes up things yeah there's a lot of reviews and you pick the one that I'm

[01:03:16] called out on okay here's another one lol lol Whitby seven one of my favorite podcasts love these guys not bad that's not even a dead no no that last sentence doesn't exist they don't love these guys is there but yeah yeah what but not Ben exist

[01:03:36] there no but that's implicit in you I don't know that you you understand what the word implicit means no I know what it means here's Brad oh okay we'll do one more and then we gotta move on all right here's another one by our friend

[01:03:50] I don't know why I'm alive with having he's gonna be like here's another by our friend blah blah blah Ben sucks and the rest of the plug is great alright I'm with the prior internet website review guy Andy Toshki shout out to our long-time listener Andy Toshki

[01:04:02] they're special their guys their lads and their cool just not Ben these are not that that last sentence doesn't exist in any of these it sounds legit did you watch how many more did you I should know I shouldn't say like did you

[01:04:16] watch any of those what else did you watch that's it actually alright so without further ado what was the movie that was supposed to watch the edge huh yeah not the cutting edge the skating tomorrow oh there's a 17 yeah dipshit

[01:04:34] I did I want because I watched it the first day he gave it to me yeah I watched it immediately so I wouldn't fuck that I watched it like on Tuesday I really did you may have watched it yeah my favorite part about this movie is Woody Harrelson

[01:04:44] by far yeah but you're like you're big into the Woody stuff so I love Woody from Toy Story I love Woody Woody Allen for sure I do no so friend of the podcast Luke Starkey I texted him after I watched

[01:05:12] this and I go have you seen The Edge of 17 and he said bits and pieces and I said please watch it because you are that teacher because Luke has the driest like there's a scene in this so this movie is a young woman it's

[01:05:28] Brad's favorite coming of age sorry that sounds weird Brad's favorite here's a movie about a 16 year old girl Brad's favorite but kind of because you love coming of age and so yes that actually rings true but she's clearly upset because her father and mother aren't together

[01:06:00] and her mom is frantic and weird and it's just funny because she comes in she's so depressed and anxious and she tells her teacher clearly they have a relationship outside of just normal teachers and stuff but she's I'm gonna kill myself

[01:06:18] and he just looks at her while eating a sandwich and just so dryly just I remember him being like oh my god that's crazy because I here on my lunch break was writing my suicide note and I mention you as the reason

[01:06:34] that I'm killing myself so not only does he understand what she's going through he's on her side but their dynamic and their back and forth is the reason to watch this film yeah sure there's a lot of other good things here but

[01:06:48] I haven't so this is a very what could be paint my numbers story and the thing that elevates it is how far they go with a few of the things that they do I was I literally was watching it with my girlfriend and I said

[01:07:02] I paused I said this is what's gonna happen next because I was so like early on like I can tell what's gonna happen and then I unpaused it and two things happened I was right but also I laughed because it was different that you know yes they got

[01:07:16] there to the thing I thought they were gonna do in a way I didn't expect so that was pretty much the entire movie I know where this is going but I don't know how they're gonna get there and I really did enjoy it yeah

[01:07:26] I like this and felt great oh she's wonderful chemistry that her and Woody Harrelson have is just it's off the charts like I liked her in true grit you know which is like her big break through the like that and you know she was

[01:07:38] she was a fine young actress but this is good yeah for sure Oh so good in this case I mean I'm using fine and like the like oh upstanding fine that's how she was 12 she was 20 she was playing 12 no in true grit no I'm talking

[01:07:56] about edge of 17 no you were not you both were just talking about her true great oh my god he's just really your favorite coming of age going for the low hanging fruit tonight yeah clearly so are you yeah the low hanging fruit of the looms um so

[01:08:14] at just 17 was like the movie where I was like oh my gosh like she's like incredibly talented you know like and she's she's only gotten you know I feel like better you know it's her her manic slash frantic parts yeah are perfect you know um the endearing

[01:08:30] stuff with her mom and how hard that is was great yeah but her do you remember the actress that plays the best friend yeah actually her name is Hailey Lee Richardson because I interviewed her for after-gank oh cool so there she's another talented actress

[01:08:46] yeah they're they're back and forth was phenomenal yeah she plays like so in the movie the Hailey Steinfeld Steinfeld and her best friend um her uh Hailey Steinfeld's character is older brother who is the golden child Blake Jenner starts to date her best friend

[01:09:08] and there's an enormous falling out um and they early on you're kind of on the side of Steinfeld's character we're like the golden boy what a piece of shit I'm sure he's an asshole and of course as the movie progresses you realize

[01:09:22] oh he's actually not a bad guy she just hates him because she thinks he's special and she's not yeah it's really not that case he's been the man of the family ever since dad died yeah and so that's that's the turn in this film that I

[01:09:38] didn't expect because typically when you're doing this in these coming of age movies the brother is a dick he's just getting away with the word and about the realism here is what pulls you in and I really did respect that and honestly what's his name Jenner

[01:09:52] whatever Blake Jenner crush it yeah great great great great actor uh in this film so yeah no I have nothing better I wanted to have bad things to say about this he was so exasperated when he found out it was another coming of age movie

[01:10:04] I was so fucking tight I said I said you even see the age 17 he was like no and I can't wait to watch another coming of age movies you know what hey that's your best bad impression ever because that's

[01:10:14] exactly I was like oh yeah because I can't wait to watch another stupid fucking paint my numbers uh coming of age movies that you fucking love for no reason not no this one was good because they're all good no it's only like they're not all good

[01:10:26] it's all only like a hundred minutes so it's a no it was yeah and honestly it was it just like so if you uh if you if you like comedy and you like coming of age films this is right up your alley if you can't if you

[01:10:38] haven't seen it go see it and honestly if you if you don't think you'd love it because you're like me you're probably gonna like it it's very john Hughes esque I felt your way to you know yeah he was pretty close then

[01:10:48] I actually do uh this is not a bit I do have a hot take I saw Abigail okay I did not like it well that's wrong but sorry I did not love it I I liked it enough but there were so many

[01:11:04] problems with it you call it a good movie it was fine interesting it was fine but you like it but you also like Melissa Barreira I actually don't really have like a infinity from Melissa Barreira if she's in a movie cool she's not then

[01:11:22] I recast this film as I was watching it I was like they couldn't get her so they got him they couldn't get you know first of all everyone I mean Melissa Barreira is the straight man in this movie I'm not gonna do anything special this is a becast

[01:11:34] everyone else yeah but they're so good I mean Dan Stevens is a Dan Stevens is fucking great in this movie Dan Stevens is good Kevin Durant is great in this movie all dead guy August Clouder whatever his name is is fucking horrible he's he plays

[01:11:48] he plays his character perfectly no no he doesn't this is so over the top it's embarrassing and if you if you are like this movie is about you kidnapping a young girl finding out she's a vampire she kills everybody I get it but in the very

[01:12:02] first opening scene they kidnapped this girl they put her in the van and you got this fucking Mack Miller insane copy going get ready we go go accelerated and then he's speeding there's no reason for him to speed but he's a dipshit there's plenty of dipshit

[01:12:18] in this world it's there are like it's insane that they especially in this line of work we hired the best of the best and you got this guy but they didn't though they know they did they said you guys are all professionals that are

[01:12:30] of course they're saying that but like they don't care because all they done is hire them to get killed by Abigail the premise of this film is that you you got these people that are are good at their jobs right

[01:12:42] but maybe some aren't and maybe they just got somebody who that they was available so that her Abigail could feed the whole but that thing if you are making this movie and you're you're trying to piss me off you're gonna piss me off because everybody

[01:12:58] you're thinking too much about it exaggerated over the top yeah but that the movie is intentionally like the tone of it does it has a comedic angle to it like it's it's a horror comedy but but yeah but I disagree that like this just

[01:13:12] could have been so much better like there's so much perfectly good the way it is and plenty of people have enjoyed it no I'm sorry that you didn't have fun with this one there is I just I hate did you have a fight

[01:13:23] before you watch no I hate logistics it don't make sense the the blonde chick falls in a pool of dead bodies and doesn't vomit she she comes out she's she doesn't shower she sits next to everybody where she gonna shower no well nobody

[01:13:37] mentions the smell they just this is this normal you have you literally with a pool of dead bodies and filth that is would literally make anyone physically vomit in wretch if they were next to you and she they just act like oh her

[01:13:49] hair is perfect like what it was not perfect just just be more realistic I know it's a vampire movie but good Lord you're gonna fall in a pool of dead bodies and she's just like this is disgusting and then sit next to somebody

[01:14:01] and they're not even gonna mention that it smells this they have bigger fish to fry stuff like that just made me man bigger problems sure it just it wasn't you can make a movie like that and actually be a little bit more grounded if you complain

[01:14:15] about the smell then like you're not dealing with the most urgent problem which is a vampire girl that wants to kill you bigger fish to fry go on so yeah I give it a you know it was fine that's it Nate what do you think

[01:14:36] when you watch again I have not seen this oh no he wasn't paying attention all the time he doesn't give a shit that is also true do you want to talk about some trailers okay as long as somebody Brad yeah I put my finger in my nose

[01:14:54] Brad oh Nate did too oh fuck yeah you're in no one said that was even a thing go go what do you turn this on why we're kind of tired it's getting late let's go you're tired all the time yeah well I'm getting eye surgery tomorrow

[01:15:10] so I need to go to bed they're putting you know what they're putting me under if this is the last time you hear my voice I die on the operating table wow wouldn't that be sad I want you to know this

[01:15:22] and hear this from me I would be sad thanks buddy how long though for like a day and a half yeah until Evelini gets back well it's true it's true um who has time for this is what it feels like right

[01:15:42] when you guys fucking force it on me and now you're like I can't think of anything that's awkward yeah it is do it though come on do it take me away I don't mind but you better believe me when I say it's trailer time

[01:15:56] bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow Nick closed his eyes Brad got away with doing a guitar riff instead of a second verse and I'm fine with it I wasn't sure what the song was

[01:16:14] I wasn't either actually I was in the time by Huey Lewis in the news from Back to the Future and I didn't in your head you got it though you knew that but I love that for you whatever happened you were digging it

[01:16:30] so like don't act like this is like because here's the thing is you and I vibe on the same level so yeah bad ass wrong wrong so wrong if you created this song I would still go buy one I thought that that's what that was

[01:16:44] so there's plenty of people out there who know Back in Time Huey Lewis in the news again I hope that people agree with me that nobody has a review that says except for Ben and then the second thing they agree with me

[01:16:56] is that a lot of them did not know what you were doing if you knew that that song was back in time Back to the Future we love hearing your comments no one ever fucking comments I'm gonna kill myself somebody comment tomorrow I'm gonna kill myself

[01:17:14] there was another time you were singing upstairs do you remember he were yeah get in watch some trailer time wait wait oh my you just said I'm gonna watch some trailer time yeah it's the trailer no trailer time is the same

[01:17:46] no time because it goes with the song oh my god oh my god that was so good you fucked that up so quickly no we watched a segment trailer time I just read some let's just see Brad's neck flexed he was picking up dumbbells

[01:18:06] he's so ready and then he fucked it up so many we're gonna watch some we're gonna watch some trailer time what the fuck are you doing because I matched with the lyrics of the song oh my god I actually liked what you were doing yeah I know that

[01:18:22] there's been heartache and pain you gotta change the words or do you anyway to have this trailer time there you go I wanna watch some trailers I love it I'm gonna watch trailer time no! god damn it oh my god we did watch some trailers

[01:18:48] the first trailer that we watched is for a movie they're all from movies that's actually not true the second one is very specifically for a TV show oh I didn't notice got em cha-ching the first one you don't remember you really don't remember do you shut up mate

[01:19:10] I was waiting for you to do anything you're gonna watch a Robert Eggers film and the witch you're gonna love it I can't wait for Nosferatu to be like black and white you saw that it's not black and white no no just him for some reason

[01:19:30] technically Nosferatu is always in black and white and then he lives on an island and he's a pirate now I'm Bobby Eggers Nosferatu who no one calls him Bobby only his best friends anyway this looks like it has the perfect Robert Eggers

[01:19:48] ambiance that I want for a remake of Nosferatu Willem Defoe is in it which is just oh yeah if you want a super up close shot of madness Defoe saying Nosferatu love it cool I like Robert Eggers to the filmmaker what specifically did you love the lighthouse

[01:20:14] what was your favorite part about it the performance is on it I'm sorry that you don't get it oh yeah what's there to get you'd know if you watched it I did watch it but she didn't really watch it anyway fine so this is remake of Nosferatu

[01:20:34] starting with Willem Defoe and who else Nicholas Holt Renfro himself or whatever he's playing Brad Renfro in this movie Renfield 2 Nosferatu there's something there Nosferatu the streets Steak Up 2 that's the episode title Renfield 2 Steak Up 2 the streets no Renfro step up Renfield Nosferatu the streets coming in with

[01:21:14] who's the woman that was in the Lily Rose Dep where have I seen her Johnny Depp's Nutsick why would we cut that we would cut her do you realize that Brad is just letting a lot of stuff go to why do we have to cut that

[01:21:34] normally you'd be the one like we have to cut that Lily Rose Dep literally came from Johnny Depp's Nutsick and that's where you'd recognize her from because you love Johnny Depp's Nuts what the fuck is going on right now is she been in something else up for real

[01:21:46] I mean she was in Silent Night did you see that I did and she was in that Kevin Smith movie was in the movie what was she in what was she in what was she in yeah she plays the one opposite Kevin Smith's daughter are you sure

[01:22:06] yes 100% I'm sure that's probably where I saw her love the late Kevin Smith movies hate his early work love what he's doing now yeah that's a good take from honestly from cop out to now is the only Kevin Smith you need to see he's so brave

[01:22:30] Aaron Taylor Johnson's in this as well he is there's a quick shot of him in the trailer what do you think for real I'm definitely it's not made for us we're not smart enough it's like Nate in the horror movie

[01:22:44] he's very much smart but you don't like horror you like horror films and this doesn't attract you no because I know that I just it's another like the scariest movie you've ever seen it's a new England folk tale it's called The Witch

[01:22:56] you're more of a fan of like horror films like that follow it you're like I don't need artsy horror films I want to see paranormal activity I want to see the Blair Witch project I want to see things that make me scared not this eerie bullshit

[01:23:10] they cut to somebody cackling in the darkness and you're like oh it's so creepy it's like this is just self-filandering bullshit like you're just jacking your own dick and calling it art it's not it's so esoteric it goes over Ben's head exactly the green night was perfect

[01:23:28] I'm too perfect if you throw an axe in the woods and the next scene it's on your back and you don't describe it you can't just call it artsy it's a fucking continuity error but nobody knows it's that shit

[01:23:42] in movies like this because they don't want to call it out those movies are full of these things and nobody gives a shit because it's like it's not a fucking choice it's a mistake and you're too fucking sucking the director's dick to realize it I can't wait until

[01:23:56] Ben gets his like YouTube rant show going where like this is what you get all the time but here's a question imagine what it's like to date me where I just do this I don't hate myself that much Ben are you more or less excited to see this

[01:24:14] than you were in the Munsters I want to see the Munsters still you haven't seen it? it's a 2022 film wait did you watch it? no but I don't watch horror films the Munster you know what I don't watch horror films and that's why I will never watch Casper

[01:24:32] I will never watch Casper I've watched Casper so many times exactly idiot the Munsters is a horror film maybe that's the title the Munsters is a horror film the Munster is a horror film what's next? we watched a trailer and the reason we did watch this

[01:24:52] is because it's a follow up to The Batman I thought this was a movie the new Max series The Penguin it's a series it's a limited series that will have Colin Farrell back as The Penguin looks great I love this performance from Colin Farrell

[01:25:08] I love that he disappears Colin Farrell you guys like him no wonder he's also one of the nicest guys in Hollywood what do you have against Irish people? I have nothing to get to I was hoping there was something I was hoping there was something

[01:25:26] didn't he sleep with the Prostitute once? no that was Hugh Grant probably also Colin Farrell but are we really going to crucify a guy? what's your favorite Colin Farrell movie? why is it SWAT? yuck yuck you're serious about that though right? I mean I love SWAT

[01:25:46] it's just a silly movie it's easily after Yang for me after Yang is very good I love the man named Bruce he is great named Bruce that's very true and honestly lately The Gentleman the series on Netflix? nope the movie doesn't he play? yeah he's a bit part

[01:26:08] that's true I think mine might be The Banshee's In the Miniature I still need to see that I don't know if you'd like this how about Daredevil I think he would because even though it does have the vibe of a movie that Ben might not like

[01:26:24] I think the dark comedy will be enough to keep him around is it not as awkward as it could be? it's not awkward the only reason I wouldn't like it is because it's awkward but it is what you would call an artsy movie as well

[01:26:36] no and again I don't hate artsy films I hate bad artsy films that are pretentious you have to let the film unfold right and it can be a little slower and that's fine don't be judgy Ben I just said that I think his favorite performance of mine

[01:26:54] wait what my favorite performance of him my favorite performance of him why is it not coming out right? how am I not myself it's me and him in the movie I smell toast I like him in Bruges and that's not a blockbuster film

[01:27:10] there's a lot of nuance to the character and it's a slow burn and I like it what about The Lobster that was not that was to me I saw The Lobster and I saw Swiss Armyman around the same time and I really enjoyed the Swiss Armyman

[01:27:28] and I didn't love The Lobster I love them both for different reasons anyway remember we're still recording right you gotta keep going do you know what film I did love though back in 2002 when it came out a film called Hearts War do you remember that one

[01:27:48] with Bruce Willis who's a bad actor he's not a great actor but like you guys think he's a good actor he's a good actor stop it we are not doing this again you're talking about films you saw no it is we're talking about the trailers

[01:28:06] my god we've moved on what are you doing Nate? Nate's been on his computer this whole time we're still talking about the movies you saw we've done two by the way Nate we've done two trailers so anyway it's Pat I didn't love it he's short circuited

[01:28:24] I thought I was having a stroke but no I'm excited for the penguin it looks great and again even though we don't love to talk about TV shows no Brad I love talking about it this mimics the the cinematography of the Batman so well

[01:28:40] and it's so well produced that it will be worth watching and that's the thing too is like for a show that is essentially a spin off from a bigger movie and you getting rid of that lead character for it to still look this good

[01:28:56] you would normally think that it would be like the B movie version of that this looks A list all the way through and it has what you need in a series like this without needing Batman and we've never done like a film or TV show

[01:29:12] on the penguin specifically so it would be fun for many of us that I don't know a ton about the penguin right? you guys are discounting March of the Penguin that was a pretty good Batman villain movie that was a pretty good origin story yeah

[01:29:30] and then we'll watch something with Will Ferrell what's the title? oh yeah we can talk about that one because I had not realized this was a movie and the trailer is like a month old but we'll bring it up real quick you were cordially invited

[01:29:42] and this is a comedy starring Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon seemingly a romantic comedy but that has some edge to it where Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon are these people who they're both parents and the hotel has double booked their children's weddings so they're now at odds

[01:30:02] and Will Ferrell in the trailer says if I look at that doc and there's a woman being married and it's not my baby girl I will dump that bitch into fucking water and from that moment I'm like oh this is our ridded and I'm in

[01:30:16] yeah this looks really funny it's a quick trailer written and directed by Nicholas Stoller oh well that explains it yeah Forgetting Sarah Marshall get into the Greek which is aged fantastically did you ever see the 5 year engagement two accounts did you ever see the 5 year engagement I did

[01:30:36] it was fine it's more than fine but it's not quite as good as Forgetting Sarah Marshall no God no I love neighbors I still watch neighbors so these are good coming we complain that there's a lack of R rated studio comedies so this is one it's like

[01:30:56] this is the guy you want him to do 100% and it's so popular that it's a month old and Brad didn't even know it existed so real and really hitting the cultural zeitgeist rough pumpkins but this trailer looks really funny I can't wait to see this

[01:31:14] I will seek it out it comes out on Amazon Prime January 30th 2025 I thought it was coming out this summer why would they release a trailer so early yeah now I don't give a shit I'm gonna be sad in the winter especially when it's going to be on

[01:31:32] this is what I love about Netflix they release a trailer like 3 weeks before it comes out exactly they do a teaser a month ahead a final trailer 2 weeks ahead watch the show we don't care and then I wake up and it's playing on my phone

[01:31:46] I don't have to even put it on you're cordially invited also who it also starts I'm excited about Jimmy Tatro I love Jimmy Tatro from American Vandal oh yeah I love that guy also theater camp it's a different movie

[01:32:06] theater camp which I thought he was just being tiresome he's hilarious he's just a guy that when he's in a film he does some great stuff did you? I did just making sure I really did I really watched it did you watch Alien

[01:32:24] I wasn't officially signed it through the oh jeez you know what you're gonna love it it's fine you scared the fricking but jeez is out of me yeah and that's a good thing like have some emotions for once in your life there's so many emotions
