Episode 218 - Outkast's Apollonia

[00:00:00] Hey everybody! Go Flix Yourself! 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 Nicholas Cage performance in Knowing to my Nicholas Cage performance in Pig Bradford Oman.

[00:00:28] Hey, that's me. I know things. You're knowing. And the Nicholas Cage performance in Leaving Las Vegas to my Nicholas Cage performance in Pig Nate Laux. Hey, I've never seen that film. You know it's funny actually leaving Las Vegas is much more like suitable for Ben.

[00:00:49] No, no, it's sad. So it should be Nate. Nate loves it. Yeah but Nicholas Cage is an alcoholic in that movie. Yeah but he's also very sad. He's trying to kill himself with alcohol. See? Very sad. Do you like that film?

[00:01:01] Leaving Las Vegas is the one he won the Oscar for. Yeah, okay. So you like Sadden and Cage? The point of the podcast guys. But for the record, for the record my friends. You do like Sadden and Cage.

[00:01:12] Whatever. The idea here is I'm always supposed to den a great Brad and then make you look better and then I'm still the best. So I always try to pick something that is bad for Brad, great for me and pretty good for you.

[00:01:24] And they know that. And the three of you or two of you just don't seem to get it. Thank you for getting how good of a movie knowing is. It's not like I said Captain Coralie Mandolin. Yeah or Left Behind. Oh that's right. Ghost writer, spirit of vengeance.

[00:01:42] I forgot he was a left behind. Or Next. Oh that's great. I love me some Next. That was a tough one to watch. You know what the best part? I think I've seen all of them. The best part of that movie is he knows what happens next.

[00:01:56] Because he's knowing what happens next. Fart Patrol. Hey Brad. Yes. Welcome to the movie podcast buddy. Thank you. Where we talk about the latest movies we've seen. We talk about trailers. If there's time we play a game. Yeah. There's never any time.

[00:02:14] No we really need to pack some stuff in so that we can get some good stuff. I did receive two kisses on the cheek. Comments from people who said don't worry about how long the episodes are. The longer the better.

[00:02:29] I disagree because I'm at a limited where I can look at your face. No and also I get tighter here in my voice. And they have to. Apparently not. Apparently not. Bates is from your mom. Oh no my mom has not listened to this podcast by any means.

[00:02:46] My mom has been on this show and has never listened. Your mom was forced to be on the show twice. She didn't even realize she was being recorded. She just assumed she was doing something nice for Ben.

[00:02:55] Which I don't know if I shared this after after that episode where my mom shared her opinion about the hitman on not something she enjoyed on Netflix. A friend of the pod sigh reached out and said based I write after meeting your mom.

[00:03:11] I respect your opinion too much. I will not be watching the hitman. Oh boy. So happy. It was good. You're missing it. Okay. It was fun. I mean either you trust Nate Lausier you trust you'll kind of what's going to have to pick.

[00:03:24] You can trust me too because I also enjoyed it. No one cares. He's such a little bitch. How dare you talk about sigh like that. He was on this couch. No I was not even a fortnight ago.

[00:03:35] I was looking at Nate and I was talking about you and Nate wasn't looking at me because he's doing something on the Internet and not paying attention to me. How long ago was a fortnight? Two weeks. Is it? Isn't it? Sure. Nate. Four scores.

[00:03:48] How long is four scores? Four scores. A score is seven years. That was 20 years. Is it? I don't know. A fortnight is two weeks. Okay got that one. Please tell me the score is 20 years. Four score is how many years. 80 years. 80 years. So four score is 20 years.

[00:04:10] It is 87 years total. Okay. There you go. So you crushed that one and I got a fortnight. Brett wants to know he did get one right though. He wants everyone to know. That's fine. How many did you get right Nate? I got the Internet right.

[00:04:24] Yeah he got them both right. Jesus Christ. Fucking Johnny Perfect over here. He didn't even know where the word in big in came from so. He came from the Simpsons. You learned that today. I told you that. Son of a bitch. Hey Brad. No. Hey Brad. Hey Brad.

[00:04:42] Let me ask you a question. What's your favorite fourth of July memory? Oh that's a good question. That's a good one. I mean I had a pretty good recent memory where I got high as fuck at Ben's fourth of July party and I was singing Endless Jingles.

[00:04:57] Yeah and Brad thought he was so freaking funny. Everything he sang he thought it was. Nobody thought he was as funny as he thought. Oh hold on that's not true because friend of the pod Ben Bloom was and Susan Swarner were having a great fucking time.

[00:05:09] No here's a go. They were playing about. They were playing about. They're nice people. Kindest people you need. Oh you know what no I'm sorry. They were just trying to. They don't just laugh at anything. They're not just laughing at any old chuckle fuck over here.

[00:05:19] Oh come on. They were worried. They were worried. Let me tell you something. No I don't even religious. I remember some of the songs that I came up with. After I got hit with a piece of fireworks debris I came up with a song called Ashes and Crumbs.

[00:05:32] It's part of my fourth of July concept album. It's going to be a hit. What's the concept bad music. No it's it's joy and liberty and freedom. I know you don't like most of those things but. You were very high though. Did you do full edible.

[00:05:48] I did a full 20 milligram edible and I'm a lightweight so like the 20 milligrams hits harder than the 10 and I was feeling like a goof troop. You were a goof. You were a goof. The fireworks especially beautiful with your high. They were fun.

[00:06:04] Yeah he had his hand over his heart watching him for two hours. What I loved about that was because I thought I was having a heart attack. So for our listeners Ben hosted a fourth of July party and there was maybe what 25 of us there 30.

[00:06:15] Yeah 30 of us there. What I loved about it is Ben was so dad in this. He walked like dad like you're going back to the fireworks like dad. He swam like dad. You weren't enjoying it like dads don't. I was enjoying it.

[00:06:31] You just do it for everyone else. I was like joy. Who's got the next no no no. What I loved about it is Ben Ben has a girlfriend that has kids and you had a conversation with one of the boys about opening the firework

[00:06:45] and you're like and it sounded just like me talking to my boys. You know you want to say you know what you did you ruin that firework because you opened them up. Hey buddy so this is a firework and I know it's in the box but

[00:06:58] you don't got to open that box up buddy. It was very very nice. He basically grabbed one that you just like and he's like he's just unwrapping the car because everything in cardboard needs to be opened so you get the prize inside.

[00:07:09] And so we just fucking destroyed one of these things and it just exposes it. And I'm like oh hey buddy yeah I know this is one of those things you don't have to I just you know what it's fine. It's fine.

[00:07:19] But we just can't like this one okay. Just don't do it again. Yeah just you know it's okay. You could sit over there. You could go sit over there. Shut down. No. It was it's a lesson right because you didn't know.

[00:07:29] But you were so dad at this event. It was just like Ben sweating going to you know 40 feet away to light the firework. We're gonna start calling comes back. We're gonna start calling you Papa K. Yeah. I say I want to be very clear though.

[00:07:41] I wasn't like my childhood when it was if I did that then it was like what are you doing? That's ruined. Go sit down. Where where's go sit down. Don't touch. Don't you touch another one seal seal seal. Look what he just did.

[00:07:55] Look what your son look what your son just did. Are you sure he's mine. That's it fireworks are over. This is an eighty seven dollar fireworks. Do you know that that is an eighty seven dollar fire. This is for you.

[00:08:09] I thought you were here to have a good time. And you're ruining you know what you're ruining your own good time. Go sit inside. So yeah. My dad never did. But Brad was high. He's dead never talked to him. It's true.

[00:08:23] Yeah I was I was enjoying the fourth of July. It was a great party we had a good time. Did you bring a star spangled treat for us buddy. Oh it's not star spangled but let me tell you it's a great party.

[00:08:35] I think we have you cheering and singing in some very specific way. No I don't know what that means but like yeah I don't be honest with you I don't know any of those. I think he means tangerine the one shot on an iPhone.

[00:08:51] They just they just build a trans people and tangerine. What is it tangerine. Why would be a tangerine is it a Florida project. That's a fun flavor. You think of it. I would have brought a tangerine a tangerine as the thing as if it were a banana.

[00:09:05] Is it a moonlight banana. What's that from is it a banana. Is it the lighthouse. It's from Beethoven. No no. It's the I brought the lighthouse Ben. Good you brought the seal from the lighthouse. It's black licorice shaped like the lighthouse. Okay from the movie The Lighthouse.

[00:09:21] Okay wait wait wait let's talk about black licorice. You probably like black licorice don't you. I do actually. Yeah I used to make someone who liked trash. It does. Hey hey can you take tar and put it in a wax candle so I can

[00:09:33] chomp on it make my mouth look like I just sucked off of tar monster. You know you know that's what I would love you know I would love it to look like an oil rigged in my face. You know hey do you have any black licorice because I

[00:09:44] haven't been punched in the mouth by the shadow of death lately. You know you know the movie Anchorman they made it's a joke that he drinks milk in the heat. It's a fucking joke. That's your life. You're a fucking joke.

[00:09:55] You drink this it's 95 fucking agrees out and you're hot hot your hot pocket. You're hot. Some beans. Milk at all times and you ask you ask anybody whether they would rather have a cold milk on a hot day or a

[00:10:10] piece of black licorice and they will take that black licorice and shove it right back in your face or I choose death. I promise you the percentages are not in your favorite. You're not even close. Black licorice warm milk hot day the devil's gum or

[00:10:26] black licorice you are wrong. Black licorice is the devil's gum. The green is green. So what do you mean? You're like okay that was really that was just really loud. Well I brought a little treat they're called yodels have you ever had a yodel no Nate and

[00:10:48] Ben there's one for Ben and one for you so go ahead and take the package. I just really don't want to hear the package of yodels. You'll see what yodels are when you get them. Don't look at the actually I'm gonna tear the top

[00:10:58] part off so you can't even see what the flavor is tear that I'm just going to give you the container with the yodels on them. Here you go give give Nate his yodel. I don't know if I want a yodel trust me you

[00:11:11] want a yodel Nate you're gonna fucking love this you're gonna jizzle over yourself these are just either little Debbie Swiss rolls or ding dong so at first of all ding dong's are round and flat ho ho's yeah maybe you're Swiss Swiss where's yours I've already had

[00:11:33] them and there's only two in a pack I didn't want to open up a second pack and have you know two yodels to myself as a ho ho brand so it's not just a ho you brought me a you already a discount discount brown hole

[00:11:43] this is a hole because it's a vanilla on the inside like always so Nate Nate is getting closer this is a very specific flavor of yodel it's a new flavor you're right though that yodels a little Debbie Swiss cake mix yodels do not come from

[00:11:58] little Debbie or hostess they're their own brand I believe the brand is Drake's if I remember correctly oh frickin diss track and so what do you think of the yodel Nate it's okay it tastes like off-brand chocolate it's not off-brand it's Drake's is a brand name

[00:12:15] so these yodels are Boston cream yodels yeah yes see can you taste the Boston cream do you get it okay Ben you don't look you're finishing yours I'm not you have the rest of you if you waste that fucking yodel I'm gonna yodel you

[00:12:29] we mean it's not good it's not good what's that cake story or are you on this this chocolate doesn't taste good and the filling doesn't taste good it's not a mixture I don't like it there's a great film I'm gonna connect this to our SNL podcast 10 to 1

[00:12:46] scrape there's a great film starting SNL character that yodels is a part of it what film I'll drink my beer while you wait the sip is what did it what is it I don't know do you remember the film click with Adam Sandler that's not a

[00:13:08] live movie no starting an SNL no no work so when you okay Nate let's just real quick wait no when you say you're gonna bring in our other podcast we're currently watching SNL movies so brand I immediately thought this limits us to the only the ones that

[00:13:23] we've been watching it's your fault I said that's not a joke off for assuming I was saying to them it's sense but have you seen the movie click it's been a while yes I've seen it yeah he when he gains weight he gains weight

[00:13:37] by eating yodels are they really yodels yeah I didn't even realize that so it is very popular you dipshit oh cool it was in an Adam Sandler movie so it's popular anyway ho ho's are delicious I believe they are the best these Boston cream meals I think are

[00:13:53] quite tasty though and I think that they're not I think that they are better than the Swiss rolls that little Debbie puts out because I think the Swiss rolls the cake is too flaky in the middle it breaks off in weird chunks and it's not part of fun

[00:14:08] that's not fun can you get it all in your mother once where can you trust me Ben I know you can get at least five hoes in your mouth they send them to you oh I'm more no I found them at the store

[00:14:18] because I wanted to try them because they're brand new I've never seen a yodel at a store so yodels haven't been commonly around here I've noticed that the Drake's brand has actually been popping up a little more in our area I think it just has

[00:14:32] expanded into maybe the Midwest they're an East Coast brand yeah I think it more commonly found in Myers where I found them most frequently but they have started to pop up in Walmarts as well Drake's brand stuff so like snack cakes and treats feel free to

[00:14:47] check them out yodels this is the Boston cream flavor it's brand new and it's out there now hey you know it's a Drake's because it's in a wrapper that's good that's good that's good wait a minute all fucking treats come in wrappers what is it this isn't like

[00:15:03] you buy open hoes from a weird stand hey Ben he's so white Drake's a rapper bread okay that's a pretty good joke of all the wrappers I would anticipate that you like Drake the most so we have a lot in common also of all the people

[00:15:19] that aren't what we both recently been to Canada yeah that's all I meant that is true what you do up there I bought you a bunch of fucking Canadian treats that you haven't brought on the fucking show yet that's why I like that you brought so

[00:15:30] many I bought so many for you you even brought one thing literally like a hundred dollars did you eat them all first of all I'd like to mix it up where the tree oh where's the mix then what do you mean where the streets you know

[00:15:42] a mix is inclusive of one of the things and so you haven't even brought one of them I find the next time I'll bring I'll bring one of the Canadian now don't bother I'll eat him and I'll eat him he's just excited nature's

[00:15:54] exciting because there might be more ketchup based chips I bring one next time then just bring one you'll lay hi-hoo I don't want you ever to do again I'm gonna bring I'm gonna bring more yodels I'm just gonna bring every fucking

[00:16:05] you're gonna you're gonna get so many yodels you know what to do they taste like they're expired you taste like you're expired I sound like I'm expired you look like come on man I'm on medication my eye hey what's the last

[00:16:18] movie you saw that was a lot of you did you actually yeah oh alright well let's let's go actually had not seen the great outdoors in a long time and it's one of my favorite films all time oh so I watched we

[00:16:30] watched that last night watch the great outdoors of John Candy and Dan Aykroyd if you haven't seen this film do not listen to any of the Rotten Tomatoes score it's a 40% on Rotten Tomatoes that is also watching 40% film that is criminally underrated this movie is not that

[00:16:44] great though but so this is this is here's the thing about Rotten Tomatoes when when they judged films back in the 80s right and they give a Rotten Tomatoes score back then I think that films were just better so overall and so if you watch this

[00:17:03] everything in this movie makes sense there's a plot it's well acted there's there's characters that learn lessons it's a fully developed movie there's not a lot of plot holes there's not a lot of it's just it's not the best thing you've ever seen as far as cinema but

[00:17:17] it's a John Hughes but it's a John Hughes movie and it makes sense and it's like it's here's the if Rotten Tomatoes is to be believed it's more good than bad and so it should have a way higher rating because this is not

[00:17:28] a bad film at all also this is also one of those instances where like using Rotten Tomatoes as a barometer isn't necessarily the best because like even if a comedy is decent and like but the reviews not glowing like you might get some reviews that are considered rotten

[00:17:42] even though they're not necessarily rotten that kind of thing this movie is so much more good than it is bad though that's the thing well also I would be curious to know Nate if you're on Rotten Tomatoes right now what are the reviews that the

[00:17:56] audience scores have I'm not on there but I am on the cinema score and it is a B plus which is better right yeah more so the movie if you never reviews Brad 35 on yeah so that's the other thing is like since there are so

[00:18:08] few reviews you're not going to get there's over over 25,000 of the audience score and it's at 71% yeah and that makes perfect sense because this movie is it's first of all debris it's it's an hour and 31 minutes and it gets right into it where John Candy wants to

[00:18:26] take his family up to a lodge in either Wisconsin or Canada because I realized after my 19th time watching this film that's the only thing that I can think that they really screwed up is I'm saying where it is no they tell you but well

[00:18:40] they say things about Canada and Wisconsin so it must be maybe on the Canadian Wisconsin border maybe yeah that's pretty close because and it may be a maybe maybe I'm in the idiot maybe that I miss that line because that so anyway John Candy takes

[00:18:52] his family Wisconsin hold on I'll tell you why then that I think that they screwed up the mounted show up the mountains do show up so they he takes his family application up to a cabin for a week and his brother-in-law so the his wife's

[00:19:06] sister's husband played by Dan Acroyd is a schmoozy Wall Street type guy traitor in Chicago Chicago and he drives up in surprises them to join them and that's so their families are two completely different styles John Candy's family is down to earth wants to go

[00:19:22] row boating and have a relaxing father-son bonding and you know Uncle Roman wants to do a jet boat and buy everything and get lobster tails for the grill instead of hot dogs which are just made of lips and assholes according to him and so it's this big contentious

[00:19:36] debate between what what is vacationing what is not vacationing and in Dan Acroyd is pressing all of John Candy's buttons the entire time and in the movie culminates with Dan Acroyd's children go missing and they have to find them John Candy tells a story about an

[00:19:54] enormous bear that was at that cabin when him and his wife were honeymooning and it scares the kids at first but the bald headed bear it's just it's such a John Hughes film right from front to back and I just remember loving it as a kid and I

[00:20:08] still to this day would love to go on that style of vacation where it's a lake and there's a cabin and I just I've always wanted to do that and it was just so fun to rewatch it actually obviously

[00:20:18] hadn't seen it for years or only watched part of it and we were wrapped with wrapped attention the whole time it was so good yeah I think this movie is just okay um fuck you but I also didn't grow up with it

[00:20:28] I didn't see until I was like in college you know I watched it pretty early on and I think when you have someone people like John Candy and Dan Acroyd in a movie I expect it to be a lot funnier and I don't remember it being like laugh

[00:20:42] loud funny I remember it being amusing you know and it's fine like there's there's fun characters and that kind of thing I think that you're right though there is there is that thing of like this is a good movie like I'm enjoying myself but I'm not

[00:20:52] laughing out loud you know I get it but the part that I was going to speak about where the Canadian thing they go to a restaurant and they're they're gonna bring a birthday cake to a 109 year old man and as it turns out the man is dead

[00:21:08] but he's still sitting in the chair because he died on the way over here which didn't know what to do and John Candy's like okay girls let's get a picture watch go and kiss some other cheek and the bartender comes over

[00:21:20] I wouldn't I wouldn't play on him like that you know he's dead and but they were going to celebrate the 109 year old birthday of the oldest man in Canada they said it out loud the oldest man in Canada oh interesting so that was why

[00:21:36] I thought this was supposed to be in the United States but it was Wisconsin maybe he was just traveling 109 years you know what I want to do I want to go to the great outdoors Wisconsin's very popular yeah people love it when it's Wisconsin

[00:21:52] I hope I don't die on the way and he did not get his wish he died on the way okay well I'm glad you had your fun yeah that was fun I also watched If Cool yep oh so you agree

[00:22:10] I hate that I have to but it's interesting it's bad I don't think it's bad yeah that's a lot to be desired I don't know what movie you guys watched because it was not good it just wasn't good well here's the thing I don't think movies like this

[00:22:26] are necessarily your speed anyway so I think you know I can like a movie like this but I think it takes something special to get you into a family it's a little bit coming to the age a little bit of like even with your newfound Papa Bear sensibilities

[00:22:42] I liked Edge of 17 that's not okay it's coming to me but this has elements of like family comedy like but also like of a girl trying to deal with hard things and she's getting older and things like that listen I get what they were trying to do

[00:23:00] it was just a big swing to miss look at all Ryan Reynolds should never have been an imposter that's an insane thing for them to do in this movie it's such a jarring thing don't do that so then right from the premise it's like what are you doing

[00:23:16] even after that it's such a long burn to figure out what that is and then the actual mechanics of like what is this movie actually really about it's not all that long it's only a hundred and four minutes it feels terribly long for no payoff by the way

[00:23:32] they're missing the scene whatever the scene is that brings it together that emotionally makes it more resonant figure out what this movie is supposed to be though and make that movie you're all over the place with your emotional core and what's supposed to resonate

[00:23:48] and what's nostalgic and not and what is coming of age and what isn't it's so fucking weird I think they created a good world like the world but this is there's some good performance this movie is more bad than good though I think it's more frustrating than anything

[00:24:06] I'm with you the story is frustrating because actually I think the pieces are there for a good film yeah I agree I think that's what it is I was just more mad at it it's almost there someone else needed to see this who wasn't John Krasinski's friend

[00:24:24] and say hey man let's make this make sense you give it to Steven Spielberg and he's like oh this is all you need right and then it fixes the film I'm sure it's not that hard but there's something there

[00:24:38] I would have loved to see if this movie was simply a story of everybody's for some reason everybody's imaginary friend came back into their life 30 years after they went away and everybody had to deal like Bobby Moynihan had to deal

[00:24:54] and the girl is the only one that can see him other than the person that has their own I would have loved that and you're stuck with one but you can't see each others I would have loved that movie but someone getting exhausted by me

[00:25:12] I don't know what to do with it and some are just bonding like they always did and they're having the best time I have to go to work, what are you doing? so do you want to color it? no I haven't colored in 15 years

[00:25:22] I don't have time, why not? I have a job, okay if you ask why not exactly, let's make that movie but I really did like some of the performance you know what this movie should be called? WIF did you really? on Slashroom.com? no I texted you

[00:25:38] did you really? yeah I have more like WIF I don't think you said it I'm gonna look it up right now I did like Fino Shaw I thought Fino Shaw was goodness don't worry we hang out so no I will tell, because I did watch this

[00:25:58] here it is right here, May 16th, 2024 if more like WIF all caps I did watch this with a a 7 year old and a 10 year old from their perspective it was obviously a lot different they loved it, thought it was incredible Ashley and I were sitting on the couch

[00:26:16] and Ender, the 7 year old is in front of us in a chair so we can't see his face the whole movie and I have no idea what he's smiling at, what he's laughing at crying over and this is not a spoiler

[00:26:28] where you think that maybe all of the imaginary friends have gone away not died necessarily, just gone away and so Ashley and I were talking about the mechanics of that scene and how it didn't work and how it's like oh that's just rough man

[00:26:42] and we're laughing along with like oh man what a choice he's just sitting around with these huge tears in his eyes and he goes what if all your friends died and like oh buddy we're not making fun of them dying no they're not dead, they're gonna come back

[00:27:00] it'll be fine, and like of course 5 seconds later they'll come back but it was just so funny oh buddy listen everyone is gonna die it was just, he was so upset that he thought we were making fun of the fact that they died it broke my heart

[00:27:12] I mean he's such a good kid that do this element of we're getting older and do you remember what it was like to be a kid again those are amland entertainment does it pretty well it just didn't do this as well as I wanted it to yeah agreed

[00:27:28] shame you paid for it because if you waited an extra couple days you should have washed it on peacock no here's the thing I forgot really peacocks get in this we watched this like 3 weeks ago I just forgot to talk about it I also watched

[00:27:40] Beverly Hills Cop Axl F I also watched Beverly Hills Cop Axl F I haven't seen it so guys take me through what do you think? Britt I'll tell you what I think real quick and then you can jump in it was very similar in my complaints

[00:27:54] and love for the latest bad boys movie where the first part what are you doing with the comedy but then I grew on me and I was like oh they should do more Axl fully should do that more

[00:28:06] okay now I'm enjoying it now there's some really good scenes there's some fun cameos some helicopter stuff and it gets bombastic and really exciting towards the end and I really did enjoy seeing Judge Reinhold and I'm not sure what Taggart's real name is but he's

[00:28:22] John Ashton I think he is so old and clearly leaning into it but I didn't hate it at all I just wish it was better as far as the comedy yeah it's pretty good I do think the first act is not anywhere near as

[00:28:34] rough as Bad Boys Ride or Die because there is some legitimately funny stuff in the opening and that opening action sequence is pretty dang good too overall I think the movie is decent I think that the one... Do you think it's better than Rider Die? I think I

[00:28:48] enjoyed it overall more than Rider Die I don't think it's quite as stylish visually or as interesting when it comes to the action sequences. I think I enjoyed the movie as a whole better than Rider Die though yes I agree okay and yeah it's funny Eddie Murphy is

[00:29:04] just he's always great as Axl Fully the dynamic he has with Joseph Gordon Leavitt is really good the dynamic he has with the actress who plays his daughter Jane is very good I don't remember her name off the top of my head I'm sure Nate will find it

[00:29:16] Jane Doe Jane is Taylor Page and yeah so there's a lot of stuff to like about it it does nail the vibe of a Beverly Hills Cop movie pretty well I do think it still suffers from similar to Bad Boys Ride or Die

[00:29:34] and really just action comedies in general is I don't know if studios have just given up on bringing in comedians to punch up scripts to like really like give them some like biting humor and stuff like that and they're just relying on like

[00:29:46] oh the screenwriter did a good enough job it's comedy enough but not real comedy yeah it's not real comedy it's like you know he has a line in the film where he's driving a snowplow and he wrecked a bunch of cars

[00:29:58] this is in the trailer I believe and he goes a lot of blind spots in a snowplow and I was like that's not a joke that's just a statement and it's true so there are things you could do there

[00:30:10] if like I don't know anybody that was a comedy writer could look at that and be like we could make that better I wish they would have those action films in the 90s particularly you know the Will Smith type of action films

[00:30:20] a lot of them did have comedy Martin Lawrence had such good comedy they were comedy films as well I mean and it used to be I don't know if it's not as prominent anymore comedians used to get jobs being hired to specifically

[00:30:34] be in a room with other comedians and add jokes to scripts that already existed I wonder if the studio notes and the director and they sit down and they go well no we're not trying to be 21 Jump Street this is not a comedy

[00:30:50] sure and so they don't want to do that and you're like well no it doesn't have to be like a laugh every second but like the ones that are there make them hit you know 17 jokes in this script why not bring writers and pay them a decent amount

[00:31:04] and then it's you got a 90% of rotten tomatoes instead of a 70 I agree and I do feel like these days that is worth it and I think that for me maybe the biggest the biggest miss in this movie and they realize at the very end I think

[00:31:24] is because Taggart is now the chief of police and because Judge Reinhold spends the movie pretty much out of it you don't get the flavor of what Beverly Hills Cop was of having Axel interact with those two characters who even when they're on the same sides

[00:31:42] they're still at odds with each other and have this great banter and they try to replace it with Joseph Gordon Leavitt and with other assorted characters who engage with Axel spoiler a little bit like at the end of the film

[00:31:52] the three of them are in a car together exactly we never did this we should probably do this and so it's I think that there's a little bit of secret sauce that's missing to make it work I think maybe one of my favorite things about the movie

[00:32:08] is the score because Lauren Balfi did the score for this he's done tons of stuff one of my favorite ones that he did was the original Mission Impossible movie he did the score for that and he does a fantastic job of bringing the synth soundtrack back

[00:32:22] in a way that still has contemporary edge to it it doesn't sound, I mean of course synth is always going to be 80s but it's slowed down there's more bass to it he does a lot of cool riffs on the Axel F theme while still using the real

[00:32:36] the theme properly do you know what other score he did recently hereditary bad boys ride or die not hereditary the 824 film and Argo Ben doesn't like Argo because he's dumb Argo was fun yep it was but yeah I think Beverly Hills Cop Axel F is solid

[00:32:58] I enjoyed it I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it did you, Joseph Gordon love it hey that's fine I love when you get like the little bit of Eddie Murphy where like it feels like he's riffing even though he's not

[00:33:16] one of my favorite moments he has arrested by the two lady cops and he's like making fun of the car, he's like y'all the Lego cops and he gets in and he's like he's like get enough room back there I'd move up my seat but

[00:33:30] I don't really want to and they both just laugh and Eddie Murphy's in the back and he goes oh yeah his comical condescending laugh along is some of the best work he does nobody does it like Eddie Murphy in that way that was very funny

[00:33:46] what else did you watch let me see here I did watch my assigned movie but that was I watched it immediately so that I've got so many more in here what else did I watch I watched take your time, this is good

[00:34:05] this is where the podcast listens to stuff people love to hear the sound of nothing whatever if only there was a device that you could type them where you could see what you watched how do you keep track of what you watched

[00:34:19] I have a document that I keep track of every movie that I watch are you serious you go out all down yeah every year every time you watch a movie you sit down and you watch make sure you update it you never miss

[00:34:31] sometimes I forget when it's a movie that I have in the background that I've already seen but if it's a movie that I actively go out of my way to sit and pay attention to I write it down on the list I introduced Ashley to Mystery Science Theater

[00:34:41] 3000 the movie oh that's fun is that the first Mystery Science Theater 3000 thing she's ever seen she knew about it but she'd never sat through it she didn't really understand why I was laughing so hard and I get it Mystery Science Theater 3000 it's a decently acquired taste

[00:35:01] if you're being introduced for the first time it's kind of like what is this but man this island earth is the crazy stupid movie they make fun of and it's just so good that was really really funny and then I watched The Firm with Tom Cruise

[00:35:17] because last week I was assigned something about a jury what was it? time to kill it's what it was called something about a jury it's a Bonnie Ray song something about a jury in the cell let's give him something about a jury I know you love

[00:35:37] talking about judge judge you love your Tommy Cruise I do call him Tommy so you don't love Matthew C as much but what's the better film um I The Firm is a kind of different it is a different the Firm even though it deals with a law firm

[00:36:01] it's not a courtroom drama no not at all have you ever seen The Firm? yeah I haven't seen it in years though I actually just saw it for the first time so I'm gonna keep going down the Grisham train here because I'm really now back into these

[00:36:17] and I haven't seen them all in a long time Grisham trains my favorite sexual position it's where you read a book during sex yes they're all courtroom dramas or is it just when you go oh no anyway The Firm is not a courtroom drama

[00:36:35] it's about a bad law firm and Tom Cruise is a young lawyer he's the top of the class and he joins this Memphis law firm thing his life is gonna change for the better and spoiler alert it changes for the worse uh incredible performance that I forgot about

[00:36:51] by Gene Hackman that guy he could act my god dude for a guy that no one even in 70s standards would be like hey there's a handsome fella like not one woman is being like Gene Hackman's sex symbol I guarantee you there's somebody out there

[00:37:13] okay that's what you know what I have a girlfriend so I will overrule okay that's fair but he plays kind of a playboy in his 50s probably or late 40s but he's choose a little scenery and he's having some fun Wilford Brimley is in this film

[00:37:35] as an enforcer role which is like way pre-diabetic Wilford Brimley it's just fun to see a lot of these actors that I've had reverence for over years Ed Harris isn't that right? Ed Harris is there yeah as an FBI agent uh is it Donald Sutherland David Stratharen

[00:37:53] Gary Bucey Holly Hunter this is a great cast I'm looking through right now even like you know guys like Dean Norris like they're playing bit parts but like that's a Cruz is Cruz you know he's young Tom Cruz Hal Holbrook is great Hal Holbrook is awesome in this

[00:38:11] I love Hal Holbrook what a great character actor Hal Holbrook was yeah so I loved it you know and that again it makes me think okay I do really want to I want to watch like Run Away Jury and I want to watch the Pelican Brief

[00:38:25] I don't know I can't remember the other ones all the time but he's got like 3 or 4 more Rainmaker where I was David and David John Grisham the client yep it's Tommy Lee Jones and that is the addition now let me read you the films of John Grisham

[00:38:37] so the film was his first one then the Pelican the Pelican Brief The Client a Time to Kill The Chamber what's The Chamber it's a 1996 film directed by James Foley starring Chris O'Donnell what happened to Chris O'Donnell Gene Hackman Batman Forever that's what happened to Chris O'Donnell

[00:38:55] so yeah I don't remember that film at all but I want you to watch it The Chamber the funny part is that we try to give movies that we've seen and like and he's like I don't remember it at all but I'm going to give it to you

[00:39:07] The Rainmaker yep The Jujube Man is that real? are you making that up now? it just sounds like you're like these are John Grisham novels tell me when I'm starting to make them up directed by Robert Altman starring starring Kenneth Branagh Robert Downey Jr. Dale Hannah Tom Berenger

[00:39:27] Robert DeVall yeah this seems like a film I should have heard of if you haven't then again maybe it's not that great especially if it's an Altman movie yeah but also like that's a pretty serious cast well Robert Altman movies tend to have very big impressive cast

[00:39:43] but also it's called The Gingerbread Man which is just different but then somebody's like oh Pelican Brief and that was a good movie Run Away Jury Mickey Mickey is a courtroom drama about Disney? No oddly enough a baseball film drama film starring Harry Connick Jr. as Mickey Mannel

[00:40:07] as Glenn Ryan so what's the Mickey no Mickey is just a courtroom drama about Disney Goofy's on trial for rape I don't know because that's it Mickey and Minnie are there and there's one more film that was John Grisham just written based on a John Grisham book starring

[00:40:31] Tim Allen, Jamie Lee Curtis Dan Akroyd, Cheech Baron Jake P.U.C. Christmas with the Cranks that's right you fools that is right Christmas with the Cranks I tried to watch that movie once yeah I walked out of that movie did you? I was on an airplane

[00:40:51] I was here to do that gotcha take that John Grisham you piece of shit this movie has Christmas with the Cranks 4% 5% screw play written by Chris Columbus that's unfortunate for everybody involved and then the last movie I watched I watched Pig with Nick Cage

[00:41:17] that's what you did before or at the beginning of the podcast you better say more than that okay no so Pig is the story of almost what appears to be a survivalist homeless person almost he's not really homeless he's a home he's a recluse

[00:41:39] see but it's not a house though at all it's a shack in the woods it is sure but it's not homeless I don't know nobody can live in all people can't live in mansions listen and he's also chosen to live this way I'm not debating that

[00:41:57] but you cannot tell me he lives in a home where else are you going to find troubles it's not a home by your standards it's not a home he lives in a lean to shelter no running water, no electricity it's a hobo encampment that he lives in

[00:42:15] but he's by himself exactly he's a recluse hobo I mean he doesn't shower he doesn't bathe all hobos don't shower and bathe probably not clean access to water there's difference between can't and won't fair enough this guy won't he could but he won't see it's a choice

[00:42:39] doesn't really change that he doesn't live in a house anyway that's not the fucking boy in this movie he's a truffle farmer, he's got a truffle pig he loves the truffle pig the truffle pig is a pet basically and somebody steals the truffle pig

[00:42:51] and so his only connection to the real world is the guy that he sells the truffles to so he calls that guy and that guy brings him into the city to look for his pig and the hilarity ensues it's a comedy it is a revenge film

[00:43:05] kind of but not really it's a vengeance movie like he wants his pig back so he'll stop at nothing to get her but at the same time he's not like getting guns and mowing people down it's not like that at all it's a surprising character study

[00:43:19] of a man that used to be a big name in the industry and is no longer a big name in the industry because the food industry because he decided after a traumatic event that he was going to just stop and go live you know as he's living

[00:43:37] and be a truffle farmer so the interesting part about this movie is everything that happens when he hits the city it just becomes more layered and you expose more about who this guy used to be certain people have reverence for him certain people do not

[00:43:55] his conversations with people that either love him or hate him I think that's the best part of this film is that it's not all one of the other it's a real story like well no, you used to be somebody like you and then the other guy's like

[00:44:09] I know I'm a four star Michelin chef but it's you and that's really the nuance of this film that to me was my favorite thing how they slowly peel back the layers of the character as he's on like the layers of a truffle

[00:44:23] I don't think a truffle has layers though never had a truffle I remember we've had a truffle in things but you've never eaten a truffle by itself who gave me a truffle? point them out I've had bacon no not even why is there pigs involved?

[00:44:41] because a pig can find a truffle in the woods what? I didn't get that out of this movie at all imagine you don't get a lot out of the movies you watch I get a good time doesn't sound like it most of the time

[00:44:53] but Nick Cage, brilliant in this incredible so good yeah this was I felt an Oscar worthy performance I think that's that's fair I thought it was directed well I think this film is it's also a quick hit, it's like 90 minutes long it's not long

[00:45:13] for those curious it's directed by the same person who directed a quiet place day one watch this film it's on Hulu it's really really worth your time the only other thing to say about it is I read an article just apropos of nothing

[00:45:33] I was in Yahoo today and I was scrolling and somebody interviewed Nick last page very recently I think it was Vanity Fair or something like that a variety and it said what's the film that you think people should watch and you've done 120 films and he said pig

[00:45:49] that's a performance that I think you should watch which I love that this pig this film was not commercially successful because it came out in July 2021 people still weren't going to the movie theaters anything I think it released maybe on Hulu this is default underrated

[00:46:07] because of a lot of factors people didn't get to see this film much but it only had a budget of $3 million kudos to the filmmakers for this that is a cheap film to do all what they did with this especially how much they did

[00:46:25] with that by the way after knowing that number and they go into Portland they shoot scenes in restaurants it's a real movie this isn't a $3 million budget because they were in the cab there are 19 to 30 scene changes they're in houses and mansions they go to restaurants back alleys

[00:46:45] there's a lot of setup here there's Nicholas Cage does he sign off on this free $3 million isn't covering his salary does he get a percentage of the grosses on this what does deal specifically how much went to his age why would he do this film

[00:47:03] it's the same reason a lot of big name actors do movies that have smaller budgets if the script is interesting enough they're willing to take a pay cut because it's just a character that they're interested in it's a story that they like

[00:47:15] and they want to help get it made because they think that it's just that good that's how a lot of movies that play at film festivals like Sundance and stuff like that they want to take a pay cut to tell a good story

[00:47:27] and do something that pushes them as an actor as opposed to just being a paycheck and that being said specifically Nicholas Cage in his later years now he's really leaned into if it's interesting to me and I think that it's a choice

[00:47:39] and I can act and have some fun with it he's gonna do it he actually has had an interesting mix because he does do that still but then he also still takes the paycheck for shitty movies because he had some tax issues oh 100% that Nicholas Cage

[00:47:55] for every 3 or 4 shitty Nicholas Cage movies that he does there's like a 5th one that's like oh ok there's Nicholas Cage I'll tell you this, this was a string of 3 great movies by Nicholas Cage though Willys Wonderland which I love did you guys see Willys Wonderland?

[00:48:11] yeah he plays Bimble Pig in the unbearable weight of massive talent, 3 Cage movies I haven't seen Willys Wonderland but 2 of those are definitely good should watch Willys Wonderland it's very interesting I love the word oh yeah I remember hearing about that but it's fun, it's a fun film

[00:48:27] so those are 3 films he did and they were great there you go that's what I watched, what'd you watch buddy? well I watched Axl F we talked about it what'd you think? just kidding I watched Purple Rain for the first time the Prince film?

[00:48:41] yeah for the first time ever why? first of all it's the 40th anniversary this year I received a copy of it on 4K 4K is like Roku or another streaming service this film has a 71% of rotten tomatoes so it's not like a terrible film

[00:48:57] it's not a very good joke everyone knows what 4K is the way you said it though, you said 4K I know I was trying to be kind to move past you said it like F-O-R-K-A-Y like 4K? no 4K in the number 4 next to the letter K

[00:49:13] agreed to disagree agreed to disagree anyway I hadn't seen it I've never seen this very familiar with the soundtrack as it's full of Prince Bangers Prince Bangers also my favorite porn star but no this is a very 80s movie no it is super camp super melodramatic

[00:49:41] I could easily see someone doing a parody of this movie so for the listener and Ben Conowitz and my friend Liz Bernacke would hate me what is this who is Prince? I don't know anything about this film Purple Rain is a movie that was basically built

[00:49:59] around Prince and his persona as a musician he plays a character who is strictly known as the kid who is playing in this club in like downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota and he's pretty good but then he's also in competition for spots at the club

[00:50:19] he's kind of struggling because his family life is really dysfunctional his dad's an alcoholic and very abusive to his mom and he's in competition with Morris Day who basically plays a very exaggerated pimp version of himself of the time Morris Day

[00:50:37] because they perform Morris Day in the time songs and his character name is Morris Day but Morris Day is really hamming it up as this pimp-esque villain who is not only a performer but also kind of a producer too

[00:50:49] and he's just a real slick hustler kind of guy and so then there's this young girl who's like 19 years old, she's coming in she's trying to become a star and her name is Apollonia and her real name is also Apollonia

[00:51:03] a lot of the people in this movie did have their own name and so she's trying to be a star and the kid kind of takes a liking to her but then Morris Day offers her the opportunity to join this girl group and so

[00:51:15] there's tension and there's jealousy and there's this romance between them but there's this really melodramatic back and forth and the main struggle for the kid is that he's starting to show the tendencies of his father who also was a musician but didn't make it and so

[00:51:33] that's what he's worried about mostly and so he also shows the darker side and it's just it's very melodramatic, very campy you know Prince has this like magnetism about him like this just inherent sexiness which is very strange when you watch him in this movie

[00:51:51] because he looks like a drag queen pirate and I mean that with all due respect I do somehow you're attracted to him the fact that he was able to be that sexy and confident like wearing a puffy white shirt and like a purple suit and all this

[00:52:05] David Bowie had that same kind of vibe where it's like you just exude confidence and sexiness even though you're dressed like that it goes against every conventional yeah, because I'm like I watch Prince's performances playing the guitar and shit and I'm like fuck yeah

[00:52:21] no the way he moves, the way he plays instruments like the way he sings, he's just electric, you can't help but be like mesmerized by him here's the funny fact about this film I just learned literally right now as I wasn't listening to you

[00:52:33] after the success of his album 1999, Prince confronted his then manager Robert Cavallo and told him he would not renew his contract with him unless he got to star in a studio film every studio that had met with that had met with rejected the premise of a musician that

[00:52:51] film leading Cavallo to produce the film himself, David Gaffin and Richard Pire were among those who passed on the film Prince spent several months writing down the place of parts of the film and then they finally found a director and this was like

[00:53:05] can you imagine going to your Prince who's Uber successful in the musical world at that point going I'm not gonna resign with you until you get me a film right and then like well the fuck nobody wants to do that yeah like sorry buddy

[00:53:19] you're not marketable in the film world he's like well I'm not resigning can you imagine the stress of his agent at that point going what do you want me to do here right it's the movie is very much like if you took the concept of a music video

[00:53:37] and stretched it out into a feature film and it shot a lot like a music video too I like the idea though that like the meeting would be like what's the manager's name Robert Cavallo so Robert and Prince are in a room and Robert's like

[00:53:53] hey Prince I have a seat man Richard Pire I had a past you know on the film why just like scheduling conflict who else everybody everybody passing the film why like I just see Prince as playing Prince doing this all I can think of

[00:54:13] it's just the shyest person yeah why um his character is it's interesting cause like he takes these sudden turns This is a movie from 1984 so I'm just gonna talk about it as if everyone knows because Sure Uh, there's a point when He turns into a dragon

[00:54:31] So him and Apollonia like fall for each other By the way Apollonia, is that not the name of an outcast album? Uh, no that's Stankonia Shit Fuck Um, but close You know the outcast album Apollonia Named after the person from Purple Rain To make you feel better Stankonia

[00:54:52] To make you feel better Is it a parody? No, no, I'll tell you Kanye West does reference Apollonia in one of his songs Okay, maybe that's right Okay, yeah Um, but anyway so they fall for each other obviously

[00:55:03] And then uh, she tells the kid that he's gonna join Morris Day's girl group That like it's an opportunity Uh, and he just hauls off and slaps her in the face Oh, whoa

[00:55:15] So that's the instance where like you get a sense of oh he's starting to become like his dad You know Gotcha And it, it, it In the 80s that was kind of a more common thing of male characters to do

[00:55:23] And it was just like oh well that's just how it was Um, but like it makes it hard to root for him You just hit women Yeah it just makes it hard to root for him Especially because even before that he has a really mean way of flirting

[00:55:35] Like they go to this He just kicks a woman in the shit They go to this, they go to this lake Uh, and like of course he's like decked out in like his print skier He's got this fucking purple motorcycle that like the Joker could ride around on

[00:55:47] Um, and she's wearing this like full leather outfit And they're at the lake and they're like having these like you know flirtatious talks and everything And he talks As it goes And she, he talks about you know Listen, I've done this date So

[00:56:00] And he talks about like uh wanting to help her but he's not going to And she's like why He's like well first you have to pass initiation anyway Like what's that Like you have to cleanse yourself in the uh, in Lake Minnetonka

[00:56:12] And so and so they're there and so she's like So she starts taking off her clothes And she gets in the lake And No what, no it happens It's freezing cold Okay, go on And she gets out of the lake and he's like

[00:56:26] He's like well he's like there's a problem He's like that's not Lake Minnetonka And she gets That's fucking great She gets mad He gets on his motorcycle and drives away Leaving her naked With her soaking wet at the side of the lake

[00:56:40] And like eventually he trickles back around And stops and wait for her And she just like laughs and plays it off And it's like he's an asshole No, I mean people love Prince more than I've never seen this movie but I have definitely done that date

[00:56:53] By the way, 1984 this film came out Uh, Cisco and Neaver put this in their top 10 films of the year Number four I feel like that's maybe a bit much It's nice to meet you, it's a different time Brad It really is

[00:57:05] Um, Amadeus was number two that year by the way Was it Ghostbusters number one? No Ghostbusters was the natural list Well now I'm just now What were the top 10 films from Cisco and Neaver in 1984? Okay, number one, Once Upon a Time in America Okay, that's fair

[00:57:56] Okay, well, it was a sleep for half that list so No, all those films were like Not heard of, not heard of Yeah, the fact that Ghostbusters is not on that list Like if you go to Hell's Siskel on Neaver Wow

[00:58:07] No, but now I will probably watch all those movies I do though Um, but yeah, so Purple Rain, it's uh, it's interesting Yeah, alright Great, great sound Oh yeah, I was gonna say, soundtrack's gonna be the Um, what else did you watch?

[00:58:19] Uh, and the other movie I watched was a movie that I was assigned by My friend Nate in a movie that I was I was shocked That's me! I was shocked What part about the movie shocked you? To receive this movie from Nate Really? Yeah

[00:58:33] I've seen this movie This does not feel like a Nate Lauch's movie No, but I had to see this film in my film making class In high school, I took a film making class in high school And they let you watch this in high school? Yeah

[00:58:44] I mean, from the technical standpoint it No, no, I understand like what you teach But thematically, holy shit Um, but anyway, let's talk about it So, this is 1999, so this film came out 1997 No I took the class of 1999 So this film was fairly new, right?

[00:59:00] When my teacher, Mike Powers He was just trying to be hip Gave this film to us as like an independent film Right? Like, this is an independent film See what other films can be See how filmmaking can be And I watched this film and I go That movie?

[00:59:15] Jurassic Park too Uh, so we're talking about Cube Was the movie that Nate assigned to me A very un-Nate Lauch's movie This would be a movie that Ben would assign to me This film has a cult following though This film is like It does

[00:59:27] It's very popular in the Indies sense And there's a lot to admire about it Because it kind of has a saw vibe to it Escape room tell- Yeah, very low budget, unknown cast Not the best actors No Some would say poor

[00:59:42] Yeah, that's not why you watch this film No, you watch this film because it's a very interesting premise And if you've never seen Cube The premise of this movie is Six strangers I think it is Wake up In a cube Yeah, wake up in these strange rooms

[00:59:57] That are a cube They have no idea how they got there Some of them remember the last thing they were doing And they're stuck in there And there is a door on each side of the cube room And you go into it and it could be a trap

[01:00:12] Where you get cut up into tiny pieces Or blasted with fire Or suffocate because of gas or something like that Or it's a safe room It's full of puppies And you can go through And so the whole movie basically is them trying to figure out

[01:00:25] How to get out of the cube And involves math and puzzles And figuring things out And much like It's very clever It is, it's a very clever script It's an interesting premise I do wish the performances were better Because they are not great It's such a low budget

[01:00:43] The budget was $300,000 Yeah, it kind of takes you out a little bit Because it's very hammy You just admire what they were trying for Some of the special effects Not terrible for $300,000 No, no, no, they're totally solid If there's one thing I appreciate the most

[01:01:00] It's just how economical the set is Because each room in the cube Looks exactly the same Except for the lighting in it It could be red It could be green It could be blue It changes depending on what room they're going into But otherwise it's exactly the same

[01:01:16] Because you can't see the traps in the room Until you walk into the room And a panel opens somewhere and reveals it So they can reuse Probably two rooms that they built And just keep reusing them And just changing the lighting It's really brilliant

[01:01:30] Yeah, I gave this film to you Because I thought you would like the mechanisms of the film How it's made, these kind of things Did you see the sequel Hypercube? Is that really? No, I didn't see that I saw that, I'll list it on Amazon

[01:01:43] I was curious if it was any good Have you seen it? I've not They also did a remake In 2021 Starring Ice Cube? No Did they really? They did, yeah I don't know if it was Korean Or Japanese or Chinese But I know it's Asian cinema

[01:01:59] So it's not like an American remake Or anything like that That's interesting But yeah, so Cube, pretty good I was interested in it And I was surprised to get it from Nate Alright, Nate, what did you watch this week, buddy? I didn't watch a ton

[01:02:13] I just watched two films The first one I watched was The Real Bros of Simi Valley The movie Oh, this is a movie? Yeah Oh, I thought it was a TV show No, it is a movie And it's based on a TV show

[01:02:28] Or it's like an internet show Oh, okay YouTube, something like that That Jimmy Tatro wrote and directed Please don't know Jimmy Tatro He has a role in 22 Jump Street And he was also the star of The Netflix series American Vandal

[01:02:43] And he appears as one of the leading characters Would you call him a character actor? Or what would you call him? Theater camp Not yet Maybe, yeah, not entirely Too early of a career But I love him He's been around for a while

[01:02:55] He's just not very well known There's something about me Or something about him that draws me to him Like he just makes me laugh He's got that quality to him He's a bro Like he plays this bro really well But also not always lovable But kinda lovable

[01:03:12] He reminds me of people I know He just has this quality to him And so he wrote this film And brought back the cast of this show That he was doing online And they released it on Roku

[01:03:26] So I assume the show is probably down on Roku as well So it doesn't get a big audience But it's like a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes Of the audience score Because I don't think it has any Critics that have watched this film But it is hilarious

[01:03:41] It is so much fun It's like a mockumentary A little bit And I don't watch all those real housewife shows Or anything But it's essentially based on that Or Laguna Beach It's like Laguna Beach 10 years later These kids that were very privileged And they're 10 years older They're idiots

[01:04:09] It's just funny That's all it is It's just fun to see What is the police show that's like this? Reno 911 It's like a Reno 911 a little bit But with... Is it as absurd? Yeah, it's absurd It is hilarious It's just so dumb I'm in

[01:04:27] No, you would love this It is a film that if I was 13 or 14 years old I would be quoting this film like crazy What's it called again? It's called The Real Bros of Simi Valley Simi Valley? Yeah Which is a real area in California Yeah, Southern County, Soco

[01:04:45] In California So it's a... So Jimmy Tatro is kind of obviously the main character as well But you get to know these other sub characters And their relationship It's just Zoe Deutsch who's Jimmy Tatro's real life girlfriend Which I didn't know that by the way Neither

[01:05:06] She plays a role in this one She wasn't in the show but she plays a role in this one There's not much to say about this film In that like it's just silly, it's fun It is a great comedy

[01:05:16] I would definitely recommend if you have the Roku channel To see this film It's also available on 4K I would watch more on Roku If Roku would make their channel Or service available on devices Other than Roku And they should because it wasn't the weird out film release

[01:05:40] It was, it has since been released on physical media And I think you can also buy it digitally But yeah at first it was a Roku It's too bad because this is a film that people should watch

[01:05:49] And if you don't have Roku you won't be able to watch it You can't watch like Ted Lasso though On anything other than Apple TV right? Well, but Apple TV Plus as a service Is available on devices other than an Apple TV

[01:06:01] Yeah I don't have an Apple TV So you can get Apple TV Plus on the PlayStation Network And Xbox Yeah, yeah, you can get it or the Roku Or the Fire Stick Funnily enough actually I don't think it is available on Roku Okay I have a Fire Stick

[01:06:13] I can get it on Fire Stick Yes, it's available on Fire Stick Roku is just a man on an island Roku does have a weird like exclusivity thing Where like yeah Apple TV Plus is not available on it And like yeah I think there's one other device

[01:06:25] I want to say maybe the Chromecast Where you can access the Roku channel But I don't quote me on that But I'm pretty sure there's one other device That the Roku channel is like available on What else did you watch Mr. Nate?

[01:06:36] I was assigned another film, a 1997 film Starring the great John Cusack And one of my favorite actors of all time Alan Arkin I love Alan Arkin And Dan Aykroyd And Mini Driver Big crush on Mini Driver always Big crush on Mini Driver

[01:06:54] I fell in love with her in Goodwill Hunting It was a little weird because Mini Driver has an American accent in this film And bring the British accent I know you don't like British accents I hate them And that's why she's the most attractive

[01:07:06] She'll ever be in this film Oh really? Because I give me the Mini Driver With a British accent Who do you like better? Mini Driver or Baby Driver? I love Baby Driver Why do you keep supporting Kevin Spacey? You didn't do anything wrong So

[01:07:22] I don't know why that made me laugh so hard Gross Point Plank Yeah For the record Kevin Spacey's piece of shit Hitman 90s comedy Black comedy Almost Black comedy, almost rom-com-y at times Yup Very Cusack This is very Cusack It is so Cusack

[01:07:42] And I watched this film like I don't even know how to describe this film Because I went into it expecting It almost to be an action film It's definitely not an action film Honestly, you know what it is It's kind of in the vein of Hitman

[01:07:55] A little bit, yeah I get that Agent 47? If you talk about that stupid fucking video game franchise Whenever I read Hitman Timothy Oliphant? That reminds me of growth They're just two Hitmen That's the only crossover Brad Why would you think That Timothy Oliphant's character of Hitman Agent 47 Hitman

[01:08:14] From the PlayStation series Would be like Gross Point Plank This is why You're interrupting Nate's time No I'm not Because he needs to keep going This is Nate's time I'm going to cut you off later And make sure that you don't talk Nate, continue

[01:08:28] So just like the first film Was going to a 10 year reunion This film is also going to a 10 year reunion And John Cusack's character Who is an assassin A paid assassin Is going to his 10 year reunion At Gross Point, Michigan And the whole point is he's going home

[01:08:46] Right But there's this juxtaposition Of an assassin going home Dan Aykroyd is also an assassin Who wants to essentially unionize the assassins He plays this kind of sub character That keeps you John Cusack's character connected To the assassin world He's like the foil It reminds you of

[01:09:05] There are actual stakes here Or else you're just Because most of John Cusack's lines And his plot is involved In making peace with the place he was That he grew up in with the girl That he liked these kind of things Friends that he had

[01:09:22] Clearly nobody remembers him Because he left and joined the military And disappeared Another person in this that I really liked Was Jeremy Piven This is pre-Douchebag Piven Piven's almost a nerd He is And he plays it so well Like I love Jeremy Piven in this

[01:09:41] The kind of guy that was a nerd In high school That grew up a little bit Got a little thicker And now he's not so much of a nerd He could probably get a girl But he's still nerd on the inside

[01:09:54] Still wants to be a part of things though So much wants to be a part of things So much So this film had me laughing But more than that it had me interested Like it was just a lot of fun It just kept going The scene with

[01:10:06] And John Cusack again I'm gonna say this Was just fantastic He was delightful in this film The scene with Cusack And Acquired at the diner With the guns on the table In just their dialogue And it's so snippy And they're getting heated They don't trust each other

[01:10:21] But then they're not getting heated I love that scene so much It's just It's a great tension builder Anything could happen That film overall is wonderful John Cusack plays John Cusack's handler Basically secretary slash We're gonna set these things up Just a great cast

[01:10:41] And a lot of fun Hank is areas in this as well It was just It's just a good 90s If you want a film that is fun to watch This is not a romcom This is not an action movie This is not a thriller

[01:10:52] This is a John Cusack film Yeah But it is all of those things in one Like if you're expecting a serious film There's high fidelity with a high caliber But it's also not It's like 106 minutes It's not super long either So you breeze through it

[01:11:10] A lot of fun Loved this film Great recommendation Thank you I love that Wow, great recommendation, Brad I got a great recommendation Also loved the soundtrack to this It had some really great Purple Rain, finally enough Is also on the soundtrack Well, Joe Strummer

[01:11:28] If you guys know who Joe Strummer is He did the soundtrack for this Like he came up with the songs Joe Strummer was, I think, the drummer For the clash Joseph Strummer was the drummer No, he was the lead vocalist That's right That was the main sense

[01:11:44] Hold on, let you have it Gross plant, like, go see it In all seriousness, no But fuck you for the hitman joke I forgot all about that So you heard it here first BradfordOmen.com hates Timothy Oliphant Not even close Yeah, that's exactly what he just said

[01:12:05] Hey, Brad I was once alone with Timothy Oliphant In his trailer Easy Were you really? Really? Huh? Is he a good looking? He's a handsome fella He seems like an all-american handsome Tough to crack You don't want to Really? He didn't want to talk to you?

[01:12:20] I think I told the story on this podcast At the very least, I've told Ben before Again, you got to make sure that There's a restraining order You can't really talk about this on there You know he's really good friends with Conan I didn't know that

[01:12:31] That's really interesting So there was a movie he did Called I Am Number Four I think I remember this It's a sci-fi movie It's based on a young adult novel I went to visit for it back in the day He's in it And so I was on set

[01:12:45] And I was the first of the group of reporters That were going to be on set to arrive I was the only reporter on set Other people's flights were delayed And so I was waiting I was watching them film And one of the publicists came over

[01:12:59] And they were like So we actually have time with Timothy If you were able to do that Obviously no one else is here But you can go talk to him I was just Hold on No I don't Yeah Any other time Like sure But I'm waiting

[01:13:14] Because like in these situations You're basically doing what's the equivalent of round table Where everyone's asking questions I'm not prepared to talk to Timothy Olyphant one on one Because I haven't been Pre-pre-pre-prepared to do this So I'm like Oh okay Sure And so they literally usher me

[01:13:29] Right then and there Yep To determine the Olyphant's trailer Hey, hey Can I call you Tim? What What's your favorite summertime memory? So yeah So I sit down at like the little Like dining table that's like in his trailer With him I'm just right across from him

[01:13:45] With my fucking recorder Oh And so it's not terrible But like You can tell he's the kind of actor Where like unless you ask like the right question He's not going to give you much to work with And eventually like He warmed up and it worked out

[01:13:58] It was fine Did you bring up the fact that it was awkward Because this was different than normal Or did you have to play it like No definitely not No This was still pretty early In my career doing You didn't have the confidence of like

[01:14:11] What you would do now Yeah exactly Also Timothy Alva doesn't like that stuff Again this is his interviews on Conan He wants nothing to do with Hollywood He just wants to act Exactly He's that guy that just wants to act And I very much got like

[01:14:24] That was very clear Like doing the interview It's like he does not like Doing press junket kind of stuff So But yeah it was an experience And I'm glad I met him Because he's a cool dude So Was he mean to you? No he wasn't you know

[01:14:36] He was just No he's just not a scene Just not a scene Just yeah just not super engaging Dispondent But not in a way where like It felt like he was being an asshole No he's a guy that I think Based on again Him and Conan being close

[01:14:48] He does interview with Conan A couple times He does like almost once a season On this podcast And I think he wants to act Or be with his family Yeah that's all he wants to do Exactly And I get it I mean Screw that guy No honestly like

[01:15:03] The press circuit for the most part Like it's got to suck When you're like an actor Because you are getting a lot Of the same questions It's the same thing over and over And you get a lot of stupid questions And you have to repeat yourself a lot

[01:15:12] You know I just wish it was soul It's the elephant's not worried About getting his name out there right He knows who he is He knows what roles he's going to get I just wish if If I was a famous actor I just wish you could

[01:15:22] Just be like Oh yeah I would ask that Try something different But just keep going But here's the thing That also sucks though Is you as When you're working for an outlet Like you have stuff that You know like they want to hear about And you have readers

[01:15:34] That maybe haven't heard that somewhere Or haven't had Didn't know that he's been asked That somewhere else It's a very weird line You have to ask those questions I get it Yeah It's a very weird line to walk That's what makes it so hard Honestly It's because like

[01:15:47] There's some stuff you know You have to do Even though you don't necessarily Want to And like you might get Like an answer That you know somebody else Will also get But like because it's yours You gotta make sure That you get it Hey what was it like

[01:15:59] Working with your co-star If you could steal a smooch From anyone in Hollywood But yeah This interview's over So Tim and the Olofant Hey oh I watched I rewatched something I wanted to bring up Because it had been a while Since I watched it

[01:16:12] And I think it holds up Pretty well But I watched a kick-ass Oh yeah What'd you think It's still really good It's fun It's a good It came at a time When like superhero movies Weren't tired It's a great dark spin You know on What was happening

[01:16:27] Like with superheroes At the time Like some maritan Definitely better Are you sure? Yeah I guess Yeah I guess No Aaron Taylor Johnson Is getting this movie Chloe Moretz I mean her even being so young In this movie Like seeing her in this role Like you could tell

[01:16:43] She was just gonna be a fantastic actress Nicholas Cage is doing A really fun Adam West Batman kind of thing A very eccentric kind of character Mark Strong You know he's doing His typical villain thing But it really Mark Strong Really works here Christopher Mintz-Plas Another one who

[01:16:59] He has fun with the role Being like this The douchebag villain son What happened to him He's in a band now actually He's not doing much acting As far as I can tell But he's got a band And he tours and stuff So he's doing that I guess

[01:17:14] But yeah He never looked like an adult Is that the problem Probably I imagine that's part of it Or just that everybody Knows him as one character Only and he'll never escape it Cause even the character He plays in role model Is very Micklevin-esque you know But yeah

[01:17:31] He's great in kickass And the movie is good too Has a great soundtrack You know it's good stuff From Matthew Vaughn And if you haven't watched it in a while I'd recommend giving it a rewatch Is it on one of the services? No I own it

[01:17:44] It might be on Whoa A little bit of a brag bear It might be on a Stringy service A Brad Bragg Wow A Brad Bragg Not only do I own it But I put on the blue ray disc Was it on a 4k?

[01:18:00] Can we call that a fork? I have the 4k But I put in the blue ray Cause I don't have a 4k player Well that's from Toaster of Forest of 4k Why don't you have a blue ray player? No I have a blue ray player

[01:18:13] I don't have a 4k player Why not? I watch all my stuff on HD DVD That's cool The library is pretty limited It's coming back It's coming back So yeah that's pretty much it Except for some TV Oh no no no no no Hey hey hey

[01:18:35] Oh here real quick Let's do a little sidebar Sidebar We don't have time for this We went long way John Grisham sidebar I'll allow it I'll allow it I'll allow it Brad? Yeah What you want? I watched so far anyway

[01:18:50] I've seen the first few episodes of Sausage Party Foodtopia I think it's called a Sasage Party Sasage No no It's not Sasage Sasas This is the TV series follow up to the animated movie from I believe 2016 Timely Well it takes a long time to do animation

[01:19:13] This follows the same food characters from Sausage Party Which was a very raunchy animated comedy with the voices of Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Michael Sarah And basically almost every famous funny person you've ever heard of Is in that movie

[01:19:29] Plus Edward Norton in a surprise role as a very Jewish bagel David Kremholtz at some pita bread There's a lot of really funny voice work in that movie Animations a bit cheap But the whole point is that the movie is just super dirty and hilarious

[01:19:44] And the show picks up right where the movie leaves off Like literally picks up pretty much right after the movie Same kind of raunchy inappropriate fun Tons of food puns really clever stuff too And yeah I'm enjoying it so far It comes out on Prime Video this month

[01:20:03] So make sure you check it out It's pretty good so far Overruled Yeah I guess I'm doing a rewatch of the bear That's not a court show No we're just doing the TV show I'm still I'm in season 5 of 30 Rock the rewatch that I'm doing

[01:20:21] Also restarting the bear before I watch the third season Well I'm proud of you I'm just trying to be a member of the tribe here The bear is great I was just talking about TV for no fucking reason Trying to fit it in and make fun of me

[01:20:33] Do you still watch stand up? Yeah What's the last special you watched? Taylor Tomlinson's new one Does that just come out? 2024 Oh okay I mean so yes this year but it's been months I just watched Dimitri Martin's 2024 special Oh yeah good I watched that as well

[01:20:48] I've watched that three times Three times? Oh wow Have you guys heard of Kosh Singh? No No He's an Indian comedian from Texas But I just watched I found him on YouTube But as I do now with a lot of stand up people

[01:21:05] Because there's a whole culture of stand up right That are making significant YouTube special Oh sure At 6 million views It's never been easier to put out your own album Yeah And some of these are going super big you know So I watched his special

[01:21:22] I cannot remember what it was called But if you look up Kosh Singh on YouTube You'll find it really funny He does really good crowd work as well Which is a lot of fun I love people that do good crowd work But his position is always from like

[01:21:38] I think he's trying to be a little Bill Burr at times You know like kind of a little gruff little I'm gonna say things that people don't say But he does it fairly well Actually almost Bill Burrus But he also brings in a lot of humor about

[01:21:53] You know being a minority Being Indian these kind of things I really really enjoyed him Brad you're listening You're about to be a minority in Texas I'm a minority wherever I go Because I'm half Mexican Well but you're about to be a minority in Texas

[01:22:05] I wanted to say one thing about Demetri Martin's 2024 special because it is very good It's an interesting approach that he takes with it Especially when it comes to the editing And how he frames the special In the form of like video actually

[01:22:19] But the one part that I was initially like Oh this isn't as good as it used to be But then I was like oh wow So Demetri Martin if you don't know him One of his famous things that he does

[01:22:31] Is he always has a big large drawing pad On stage to bring to them If you're old enough it's like you're playing a game Of Win-Lose or Draw Yeah I didn't know Demetri Martin was still doing things by the way Oh yeah

[01:22:42] Oh yeah he is still very funny too He has this big drawing pad that he has on stage And he does jokes that are very simple drawings On these drawing, the drawing pad And they're very funny They're extremely clever It's the same kind of dry you know

[01:22:57] Like humor that he does with his normal stand up And in this case he's doing it I'm like this doesn't feel like it's as strong As it normally is And he does this incredible thing Where he goes through like maybe I don't know 10 or 12 drawings

[01:23:12] Doing the bits explaining the graphics That he's created with just simple marker And then he's like but actually You know what I'm going to go back and do this Because I actually have some more jokes over here And he goes back to the drawing pad

[01:23:24] After doing like a little bit in the middle And he does a completely different joke For every single drawing going backwards through it And it's brilliant It's a long setup Yeah but it was very much worth it Like once I saw that I was like wow

[01:23:39] That's fucking incredible So yeah Dimitri Martin is still very good It's hard to innovate in stand up And he's an innovation in a way Especially and it's even harder to innovate Your own shtick When you've already been known for doing something

[01:23:54] And like that's your quote on what voice That's the thing you do And he's like how do I not lose my core audience And improve upon my shtick That's tough He's brilliant, he really is I was surprised though and I wonder if he did this on purpose

[01:24:07] He did one joke that he did I'm pretty sure from his original Comedy Central presents Or maybe his first full special And it's the I saw a sign over a door that said exit only So I entered it And I said I have good news

[01:24:26] You have severely underestimated this door By like 100% I didn't know that was a recycled joke It is, because for a second I was like I've heard it before I was like where did I hear that I was like oh it's his own joke from

[01:24:40] And I didn't go look up exactly where it's from But I Wait you know I know But you didn't go and look it up Because he's got another joke That is like there's a sign on the door That says use other door And he goes no no

[01:24:56] The other door is like no no That door's fine, fuck that door That's not the joke? No This was the exact same It was the exact same wording And that's why it hit Because it's a joke I had heard so many times

[01:25:09] Because I loved Demetri Martin's early stuff And I had watched There's a bunch of Comedy Central presents That I had watched over and over again Like I was obsessed with them Back then and his was one of them Well welcome to boring ass stand up corner

[01:25:22] Of go boring ass stand up corner We break down your jokes Good Got it Nate do you have a game? No Do we have trailers? Oh I feel like I don't know I feel like Brad you and I have done A lot of the trailer songs lately

[01:25:50] So maybe it's time for Ben It's not even remotely true Yeah the percentage of trailer songs Definitely falls on our side So Benny Bear Trailer songs Trailer songs Time for trailers With your boy Ben and Brad and Nate Nate the great On a plate Brad's bad

[01:26:14] And he said He literally knew one part of Purple Rain Saying that to the tune Oh was that Purple Rain? I'm glad you picked up on that I didn't know the cadence necessarily That was not Purple Rain The first part he definitely got the Purple Rain

[01:26:29] He's off key so you don't fully get it Didn't really know I thought that would come to me Like the rest of it Purple Rain Purple Rain And then he says like No it's like It comes down in the plains of Spain

[01:26:44] You always have done it to the tune of when Doves Cry Which is also in that film right? Yeah What do you guys like better Purple Rain or Doves Cry? When Doves Cry Oh my eye I actually like Let's Get Crazy at the most Good song

[01:26:59] I'm not the biggest fan of Prince's Ballads Let's get crazy in here Let's get crazy in here I'm Prince Oh fuck That's it though right So we watched the trailer for Trailer time it's trailer time Trailer time with Ben and Brad Seems like he's doing Devo now

[01:27:20] Trailer time for me and you Yeah I think that was Devo Which was closer to what We should do a game where Ben sings a trailer song Everyone has zero points at the end Hey here's an idea Let's not Fuck you We watched the trailer for

[01:27:43] Brad Pitt's new movie Called F1 Or Fun Or Fun Yeah Fun What? Why would we call it? Because this movie looks fun It doesn't look fun No it doesn't look fun It looks pretty intense It looks like the Top Gun of F1 Racing Okay

[01:28:02] And the trailer really gives you A Top Gun Maverick vibe Especially because of how it does The cool thing where it lingers on a Shot of Brad Pitt in the actual Driver seat of an F1 race car Because Brad Pitt actually did do Legit, crazy high speed

[01:28:20] Formula 1 racing for this movie And he's actually competed legitimately In several F1 races So it's cool when you can actually see That it's the real actor And they're not doing visual effects You know green screen or anything like that It does give you a certain

[01:28:36] Feel of authentic intensity However I will say The trailer didn't necessarily thrill me I like the approach they're doing And the fact that Brad Pitt is doing his own driving But the use of Queens We Will Rock You In this trailer

[01:28:50] It felt like it was the worst cliche Almost like it was a fake movie trailer It was like the trailer was cut And sent out, right? And they're like this is what we're going to do We want a vibe like We Will Rock You

[01:29:05] But there's no music over it whatsoever And that's what they're going to do And then somebody at the last one was like Throw that all over the top Because Queens not cheap So I don't know if it's maybe They just thought

[01:29:19] Well no one's used We Will Rock You In a while, maybe we can get away with it It wasn't like a cleverly edited trailer too Where they try to like Match the beats I wouldn't call that clever That would be the most basic way of doing it

[01:29:33] But they didn't even do that though The current way doesn't work either But no, I mean like It looks, you know, I'll see it Because this is the kind of movie you do want to see On the big screen with like a huge sound system

[01:29:45] Like that's going to be incredible I'm sure Nate, you said something while we were watching it That you find it hard to get into racing movies Don't love racing movies, they're just not my favorite I care zero bits about F1 Have we assigned or have you seen Rush?

[01:29:59] Yes, I saw Rush, I think With Chris Hemsworth? Yeah, I think you assigned that to me Daniel Brull? I don't hate the films, but I just don't care about them But have you seen Rush? No, but have you seen Driven with Sylvester Stallone? I actually haven't seen Driven

[01:30:17] Oh, I have boys And? Let me tell ya, it is Fucking terrible Stallone's the driver right? Oh yeah He wouldn't even fit in the car It would be like me trying to get in one of those cars

[01:30:31] I could pick one of those cars up and run around the track with it That's a lie I did like the one that came out last year with Gran Turismo Ford vs Ferrari? I didn't watch that Ford v Ferrari is good I did not watch that

[01:30:49] Damon's best performance But I'll probably see this because There's Brad Pitt, Javier Arvind, and I mean this is As As much money as you can put In an F1 film This is what you're gonna get Did you watch Ferrari with Adam Reber?

[01:31:07] No, I haven't seen that one yet either Really? That's not like a full on racing No, no, it's a What they call a biopic So the reason also too That this does feel like a Top Gun Maverick Esk movie Is that it is directed by Joseph Kuzinski

[01:31:23] Who did direct Top Gun Maverick So it has that going for it This is an F1 Tom Cruise control But I do hope that They come out with a better trailer Because It's a teaser, you know Again, what I Saw was one thing

[01:31:41] What I felt and heard was another But the film doesn't come out for another whole year Also this has been delayed for quite a while And it's got a huge Budget because of this It's pushing 300 million now I think that I read in an article

[01:31:55] Well I think it got pushed because of the strikes 300, no there's no way this film costs 300 million Look it up, I think that the delays That would cost 300 million The delays themselves cost money And this is F1 in and of itself is the most

[01:32:11] Expensive sport on the planet And they're clearly using real cars and everything So yeah Our friend John Cessna is big into F1, my buddy John Blackburn is big into F1 They're bringing it into the United States more There was a race in Vegas That did not go well

[01:32:27] This night time they're going to race F1 through Vegas And people are Suing because of how poorly the event went Oh wow And so they're trying to make this thing a huge in America Because there is room for it After that Netflix series

[01:32:41] I can't remember what it was called It was behind the scenes and people started Being like oh this is really cool And it is, I mean you were going over 220 miles an hour In something with A thinly veiled protection It's dramatic to watch

[01:32:57] You've got all the big personalities And all the money in the world behind these things It's time for this movie to come That's why they did it in the first place But I feel like I don't know how you're going to Recruit your budget at all

[01:33:09] With all the delays, this is insane Apple's releasing this on the Apple platform Oh well see that's another They don't give a fuck No it's 100% true, we talked about this off air A little while back is basically Apple loves spending money on movies

[01:33:23] They can and because even if they have a loss It's not really that big of a loss for them Sure it sucks to lose that kind of money But they're willing to spend that amount of money Because they want the prestige, they want the attention

[01:33:33] But they bought the film for 140 million And then they spent another 250 to pick it? No I mean They bought it I think already made They bought it in June 2022 So according to Wikipedia Well no it wasn't finished It wasn't finished? No they purchased the rights to it then

[01:33:51] They already made and then the filmmakers Shopped it around to try to sell it This wasn't one of those cases Nothing about this film Excites me too bad other than Or too much other than the actors in it But I'm not excited about a race car film

[01:34:05] But I'm sure it'll be fine Again this is a teaser But I will agree there That not a lot of teasing Just like yeah But there's a few cuts of Some guys They're very old F1 car There we go So Is that good for the listeners

[01:34:37] I love that Nate's technique is Moving the mic And then Ben's technique is moving his entire body Work hard not smart buddy I get to Rub my back against this Actually a grizzly bear Brad It's not bark on a tree though It's leather Oh it's leather It's microfiber

[01:35:01] This has been another episode of Everybody can go We also watched the trailer for Heretic A new A24 horror movie Starring Hugh Grant As a man who takes two Female Mormon missionaries Hostage and has some kind of Scary test for them This looks like a great

[01:35:21] Role for Hugh Grant I am very excited to see him in a role like this It looks like It definitely has the Hallmarks of an A24 movie Where there's something scary and terrifying that's happening But it's got a little bit more bubble Beneath the surface

[01:35:37] As far as what this guy is doing Whether or not it's supernatural Or if it's just him being Just a weird fucking guy Somehow A24 will ruin it Where the house is a demon And it just kind of creepily whispers at the end

[01:35:51] And we should know it's an allegory to a 13th century poem That no one's ever read It'll be so great This is a great trailer by the way Because you don't know enough Plus it has Sophie Thatcher in it Who is phenomenal on Yellow Jackets The Showtime series

[01:36:07] I want to see this And I'm so sad that I'm not gonna like it See you can't just go into movies with that No, Brad, like you say I want to I go into every film It's just a let down Because they're just pretentious pieces of shit

[01:36:23] It doesn't sound like you wanna enjoy it though But they just bought this film It's not like they made this film They bought the film Oh so they found something pretentious and they're like yep that's on our alley Let's buy that Did you see the boogeyman?

[01:36:37] Yeah, I saw the boogeyman Same writer, right? Of this film I liked Vincent Marre That's the last 824 film that I really enjoyed Did you like A Quiet Place? That's not an 824 film No, no, but this is the same writer, director Okay again, I'm talking about 824

[01:36:55] Let's stay on topic here No, this looks really good honestly I will definitely go out of my way to see this I won't see it in the theater I'll see it on VOD, like a normal person If you're not going to theater

[01:37:07] You're just gonna be sitting at home Just picking your ass while you're watching it Going out of my way to see it Means I'll choose this over something else Why don't you choose to be a better person? Can't, yeah That's my religion

[01:37:21] The last thing we'll talk about real quick Is the trailer for a TV show Called Agatha All Along We're talking about this because it's a Marvel show And everybody loves Marvel these days Everybody loves Marvel except for Half of the people that don't love Marvel anymore

[01:37:35] And they're struggling hard Yeah So my I like Conceptually what the series seems to be offering This is a spin off of WandaVision Yes, it follows Catherine Hahn's character Turned out to be the villain of WandaVision And this is following her In the aftermath

[01:37:59] Where it seems Wanda has Obviously as we saw at the end of WandaVision Has kept her trapped in the town And has used her magic to make her Think she's in Some kind of TV show Similar to what WandaVision did For Wanda by keeping her stuck there

[01:38:15] In various TV programs Sitcom specifically And this one has a true detective Mirror of East Town framework Before she is able to bust out of it And try to get her witch powers Back basically I like that first approach

[01:38:31] I'm not sure what exactly the second part of that is going to bring I just And I find it hard to get really excited Because this feels like a show that's coming too late That and also I'm just I am now burnt out on All of this

[01:38:47] They've run out of their goodwill Exactly Used to be able to trust No matter what the Marvel property was going to be It was going to be awesome They've had so many misfires now Like I'll see the tentpole stuff On Demand I used to demand Thursday night

[01:39:07] Opening night No matter what the latest Marvel movie was You'd go see it What was the last time that you Still do that I think that the last time that I felt like that was probably end game Maybe Spider-Man Yeah It's been a very Very Fast decline Yeah

[01:39:31] Nate, what do you think? Are you interested in this at all? I'm actually Surprisingly interested in this because it feels different To me It's scary though But it's going to come out around Halloween Which is fun It's going to be a Disney plus show

[01:39:47] So it's not going to be so scary that I don't want to watch it Did you actually Watch Alien or did you watch it on YouTube In like segments No, I watched the whole thing with Finn He wanted to watch it Actually I didn't dislike Alien at all

[01:40:03] You know that But if they release this And it is I hope they give this permission To be its own thing Because sometimes I think they pigeonhole shows Because they've got an overall narrative They're trying to build Or a world they're trying to build

[01:40:21] And they don't allow a show to have its own culture Or its own feel enough To be what it needs to be I actually really liked WandaVision I thought WandaVision was a great show And it was really unique It was a very unique Disney plus show

[01:40:35] I did too, that was before the series To me had jumped the shark So what I'm hoping is that they give this permission To be weird or to be different To take on its own feel I could see this working If it has a feel like Moon Knight

[01:40:49] Where it isn't forced to be connected To anything else that's happening And it can just let it work on its own terms Exactly, and there's enough shows That deal with the supernatural That this could be there It could fit into that Wednesday or

[01:41:05] These kind of shows that are in the supernatural Fun, they have enough comedy They have enough seriousness That it could live in that world For viewers I just don't know if they'll do that Because I don't know what they want out of this show I'm hopeful

[01:41:21] I really like Catherine Hawn To me this feels like The television version Of the movie Black Widow Where it came out years later And I don't care I would agree with that Sorry, Nate I'm hopeful I'm not expecting much Like Drake from Canada would say Sorry

[01:41:45] I'm always hopeful when it comes to Marvel Because I need them to come back I'm always hopeful because I need To be better Papa needs his superheroes No, but they do need to figure out how to fix that Come on, Feige Yeah, come on, Kev

[01:42:03] You got it, we believe in you Kevin Feige has his own Custom Escalade that is Affitted To allow him to watch Rough cuts of Marvel movies On the go Okay Like Not just like having a DVD player In his Escalade No, this is like a real thing

[01:42:29] Kevin Feige is I'm not joking, I was like It's called a You were gonna do something No, it's a legit thing He really is Hard working and working all the time So I will, so this has Approval nothing here This reminds me and it's not a bit

[01:42:49] So Phillip Rivers is a quarterback I know this is more stock Quarterback for the Chargers but he lives in LA And so he plays in San Diego There's about a two to an half hour drive And he had an Escalade outfitted So that it was a film room

[01:43:03] So he could sit in the back and watch a film So Phillip Rivers retired years ago Years ago He had outfitted it so his driver would drive him Either coaches or whatever Would ride with him and for the two and a half

[01:43:15] Hours there and back they would watch game film Anyone study so it was a mobile office basically And I'm sure if he does the same thing The highest best use of his time is that So I'm not, I honestly Feel like that's a business expense

[01:43:27] Oh no of course, yeah, I mean especially If he has to watch so many things at any Other time why wouldn't you do it when you're just sitting in a car Is it like though like Pimp My Ride Where it's just like a cinema type

[01:43:37] Oh I haven't seen it, I just heard about it Is this like Air Force One where it's like Custom built for him and there's like a There's previews and there's popcorn and shit I don't think he needs Trailers to watch rough cuts of the movie

[01:43:49] But that would be fun for him Sure Coming this summer Garfield too Do you guys trust Kevin Feige? I don't trust him as much as I would have Five, six years ago I feel like they need something new because Yeah, I know that he's

[01:44:07] His ambition and he knows that there are things That he needs to fix, you know I mean we hear stuff from behind the scenes and like He knows certain things aren't working And he knows that they have to course correct Kevin Feige is the guy

[01:44:19] May I look at my eyes please Kevin Feige is the guy that had the original plan And that it worked And then Everybody assumed That that second third ninth phase That he really did have it dialed in just like he had the first phase

[01:44:33] But in my head I'm like All right here we go Wait, we get to keep going And now he's just there It's so hard to like It's wrangling cats I think from what I understand one of the bigger problems Was that Disney Plus was the one who really

[01:44:49] Pushed Marvel to do so many shows Because they wanted to make Disney Plus feel valuable And So you leveraged that brand but you Spent a lot of money on it You dilute the brand And it was too much for Kevin And it made things too complicated

[01:45:05] And it made Marvel feel a little Less special just like I'm sorry but I just don't see a way back Unless you're gonna try to like Cut and kill everything So that essentially that is The way back not cut and kill everything But like they have already acknowledged

[01:45:21] In the press that they will pull back The number of shows and movies they do Each year again because they know it's too much I mean this is what they have for TV Shows on the docket And they see what releases But in 2024

[01:45:35] They're supposed to release obviously Agatha Along Ise of Wakanda which is in production That's not coming out this year I know but there's no way it comes out this year Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man That's the animated series so that's not the same thing No but here's the thing

[01:45:51] Everything that's released that has anything To do is it does though Well no it's not true because X-Men 97 Is not tied to the MCU and the Spider-Man series Not tied to the MCU either No I get that but there are certain people

[01:46:03] That would say like that's a lot of content No matter what it is Oh sure Daredevil born again That will be coming out Iron heart next year We'll see It's been sitting on a shelf for two years now Marvel Zombies That's an animated thing And then Wonder Man

[01:46:25] We'll see Though it's casted It's been cast but they've not made it yet So it was Batgirl They were shooting Batgirl No they made it right? They made the whole movie We'll never get to see it just like the Looney Tunes movie

[01:46:42] I'm more upset about that than anything else Actually I'll say this with Wonder Man Principal photography began in April 5th of this year Or of 2023 last year Yeah so it got delayed by the strikes So maybe they'll call it a wash who knows But Yeah you know

[01:46:58] Who knows What about Zachary Levi and James And the Purple Crayon or whatever the hell that is James and the Purple Crayon I think you mean Harold and the Purple Crayon What's James famous for? A giant peach And Zachary Levi is famous for supporting Robert Kennedy for president

[01:47:16] Because he's a fucking idiot So what you're saying is this is going to go Really well for all parties in bulk And he's getting into like conspiracy theories Like I don't know what happened There's a reason Zachary Levi started making Faith based films recently After Shazam

[01:47:32] Oh he's right He's just saying Yep Not Bar Jones So as part of the right wing conspiracy Nate how do you feel about Zachary Levi supporting your views We welcome them all Come on We got Reacher who else do we got Come on in

[01:47:54] No he's not that guy He's the other guy he's like super liberal But he's a Christian Yeah but he's like a super liberal He's like the other way But he is he's the part he makes faith films though Come on in the brain worms are warm And dead

[01:48:10] The thing about Zachary Levi That kind of drives me nuts is He's got a like a smarter than you Kind of vibe right You know those things and you just don't know them Right things that drives me crazy Like oh you're just not as evolved As I am

[01:48:26] Oh you just don't get it I talk fast I'm gonna over talk ya You know my My beliefs favorite part of the guy Doesn't even wear jeans He doesn't know that Brad I feel like every joke I made This episode no response

[01:48:45] I just don't think about things on that level What level is that I mean I literally I make these I look over and you are just so pissed That I made like even that I attempted it Yeah I think mostly what it is

[01:48:59] Is like you say them and they don't even register Jokes because they just sound so stupid I mean I'd say you're doubling down but this is who you are As a person Yeah at least with you With your mom too I've heard your conversations You should apologize

[01:49:17] Mom doesn't even make jokes like that I know but you still have that out of this one I don't know what that means If they made that joke it would be hilarious Yeah What the How did you turn on me buddy

[01:49:31] I thought we had a good thing going tonight That's fair all right well we've done it We got through another one I'm sorry this one wasn't funny at all because Brad didn't laugh at any of my shit I mean he left it like a couple things

[01:49:43] There was a joke that you made I acknowledged the Drake joke was solid Once I realized you were making the joke You liked that joke But you didn't finish your yodel so That yolk is fucking terrible I love you

[01:49:57] I finished your yodel and I've got a lot of gas That's because you drank two beers grandpa I did Yodel-ee-poo Come on There it is there's the groan that I'm used to All right well anyway this has been This has been fun You guys are fun
