Episode 220 - Hot Dog Handshake

[00:00:00] Hey everybody! Hiya Hey everybody, it's another episode of Go Flix Yourself. My name is Ben Conowitz and with me as always is the Langoliers to my Shawshank Redemption, Bradford Oman. Hey that's me! And we're gonna say the green mile to my Shawshank Redemption, Nate Laux. Hey that's me!

[00:00:24] You know what? Fuck you. Yeah, you're the Langoliers. For making yourself Shawshank Redemption. Well I'm the best. I'm the best Stephen King handshake. I'm also scared of the dark so... You're a TV movie, Brad. That's what I did to you. Bitch, I'm the mist.

[00:00:38] No you're not. You're the Langoliers. You could have done like I'm the green mile to his green book. You're the cat's eye. He didn't write green book. I know but that would make him kind of a racist. These are Stephen King novels, Nate.

[00:00:50] No I know but that would make him a racist. I'm trying very hard to make it me and you guys. Brad you're making it very difficult. No but we make him a racist and me awesome. You're the cat's eye, Ben. You're the cat's cradle.

[00:01:00] And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon. You almost said silver moon. The cow jumps over it. Little boy blue in the man on the moon. No it's Ricky Schroeder in the man on the moon. Ricky Schroeder in the man on the moon.

[00:01:14] He was in Silver Spoons. Do you remember that? No I really lost his song. Hey it's another episode of GoFleet2Song. Welcome to Hodgepodge Bullshit. We don't know anything. Movies that we've seen and we talk about some trailer. And we brought...

[00:01:28] I brought a game and Nate brought a game today. We have two games for you guys. And we're only going to play one. No we're going to play both. And we're only talking about one movie we each shot.

[00:01:38] Yeah we're only going to cut it down to one movie and it's not the aside movie. People have been demanding on the social channels. They've been demanding more games. I mean you're not wrong. I know at least one person out there, Brian. Which is our listener?

[00:01:54] Our listener Brian. He loves the games. But before we do that, Brad did you bring a sponsor? It's okay if you did. It's okay buddy. Sometimes we're... Feast of Fam in here. I did but I was told that somebody else brought a sponsor. You're not wrong.

[00:02:12] I was in Omaha, Nebraska this weekend. And I went to the Hollywood Pinball and Arcade Museum. And it's a big candy shop. And they got a lot of other crazy shit. And I saw something that I thought, let's have this be the sponsor on the podcast. Uh-oh.

[00:02:28] And it's not... I don't think he's going to buy crap. It's nothing crazy. Nope, nope. It's Smarties. It's a nerd. It's those little pumpkin mellow creams. Hold on, I'm going to put my... What's going on here? Ben's shuffling through a shopping bag like a grandmother

[00:02:46] who just got back from the souvenir shop. Don't look. I've got to open the thing. What are you doing? Okay, but could you prepare for the podcast? I had to open it first. This is an amateur hour. Okay, there you go. I'm worried though.

[00:03:07] Alright, I smelled the chip. It smells like a... I smell the chip. It smells like a burnt smell. Or like a grilled smell. Yeah, it does smell like a grilled... Like a steak seasoning. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to swirl it around the cup a little bit. Yeah, guys...

[00:03:30] It's disgusting. There's a lot of flavor in these. I would say a bold flavor. There's a good... I actually like this. Well, guys, these are... Hold on! Stop! Stop with this crap! Hey, give me another one. I want to try it.

[00:03:46] I got to figure this out. Yeah, spoiler alert. I'm going to guess that... I'm getting closer. I'm on the case. I'm going to guess that these are all dressed chips. Nope. Okay. Fuck me, I guess. He went like this. He went up with it. Are they steak chips?

[00:04:04] It tastes like a steak chip. These are salt and vinegar, barbecue, onion, garlic, and more. Jesus Christ! They're delicious. They are wrap snacks by Lil Baby. I've seen wrap snacks before. These are Lil Baby's wrap snacks. They're called the All-In flavor.

[00:04:20] I don't need a freaking bag of these. They're not bad. Hold on. I'm reading the back of the bag. No matter what you're going through in life, remember family is everything. Stay solid, stay woke, and take advantage of every opportunity that is provided to you

[00:04:34] because like they say in life, nothing lasts forever. Lil Baby. That's some wisdom from Lil Baby. I've been saying that for years. What's your favorite Lil Baby memory? Oh, man. My favorite Lil Baby memory is when I was a little baby and I had these All-In chips

[00:04:52] and they were just delicious. Lil Baby or Dub Baby? No, it's Lil Baby. I don't know who Lil Baby is, but he is clearly a rapper. And he probably has a song called All-In maybe? I don't think so. It's his quotes. It says All-In flavor.

[00:05:08] So there's a bunch of wrap snacks chips. They had them all. They had everything. Snoop Dogg has his, Rick Ross has one. I don't have ties to their song. This just looked like the most interesting to me. Salt and vinegar, barbecue, onion, garlic, and more.

[00:05:22] Yeah, that's a surprising blend of flavors. That's really good though actually. I was pretty robust. I could taste the vinegar and I don't like salt and vinegar chips so that's the only off-putting part to me but I like the rest of it.

[00:05:34] I think it starts pretty strong with the vinegar but it doesn't finish that way. Is that fair? Kind of like my sex life. Yeah, no exactly. You're very vanilla. And then it finishes with nothing. Smooth. All-In is a song by DaBaby. Little Baby. Sorry, Little Baby.

[00:05:54] It would be weird if it was a DaBaby song. Yeah, it would be. So there we go. All-In flavor by Little Baby. I'd like to extend my sincere thank you to Little Baby for sponsoring today's podcast. Thanks, Little Baby. We appreciate Little Baby's check.

[00:06:08] You are a tiny baby rapper. You are a tiny infant six-pound eight ounce baby rapper. So anyway, guys, let's just get right down to brass tax here. I watched quite a few movies this week which is a little surprising. Me too, fellas.

[00:06:22] I'm going to start this week. I never start. Nate, what's the last movie you saw? What is the last movie you saw, buddy? No, no, you started then. I'm going to start this way. I don't really start all off. You know why I'm going to start?

[00:06:34] Because I was able to text Nate last week and say, hey buddy, I have an opportunity tonight early in the week and I can get my assignment done. Go ahead and just shoot me that way. And you know what he did? He didn't.

[00:06:48] Yeah, actually, Nate texted you back the next day. He did. I got to text the very next day. Okay, I don't sit around my phone waiting for instructions from you like, hey, I'm ready to do something. But you know what me and Ben do?

[00:07:02] We respond to each other's friend texts. I respond when I can. But it seems like lately there's not a when I can. It's when you decide to. We're going to do this right now. I'm going to say, ever since you got a girlfriend,

[00:07:16] Nate, you've been a lot less active in the text thread and you've been real quick to ignore when we're having friendly conversations. Here's the thing is, what I prefer is when I come over here an hour before the podcast and Ben and I

[00:07:28] get some alone time to talk. It has got a nice. I prefer when people respond to text messages when they're directly addressed in said text message but you can't just say, give me a movie now. I'm ready to watch a movie.

[00:07:40] To be fair, he did it at like 6 o'clock and you could have gone back to him at 9 but instead you chose 10 the next morning. Okay, here's the problem. Listeners, we have a list of films that is at least 8000 films long. Oh, it's way more than that.

[00:07:56] And we have to give a film that we enjoy to the other person that they have not seen yet that we have seen. You gave me a movie 14 hours later though. That's not bad. It's not that you didn't see the text. You know what I'm saying?

[00:08:14] So you saw it but it was busy. It was busy. Hold on guys, sorry. We have a bunch of balloons that got lips in the studio. So then you hold a break down here. What you could have said is, hey, I'm busy

[00:08:26] but I'll do it when I can. Just give me a little heads up. You assume if I'm not responding, I'm busy. I also assume that maybe you just gloss over it and you didn't even see it. Because a lot of times, like, I just assumed

[00:08:38] I didn't see it when I responded 14 hours later. Well, for the first 13 hours I was like, I wonder if he's going to give me one. Do I remind him? So are you telling us that you didn't see that message until that morning? No, I saw it.

[00:08:52] I just couldn't get to it. Sounds like you got to it. I got to it when I could get to it. Hey Nate Dog, I'm heading home right now and I just wanted to say that was the reminder. So I had requested earlier at like 6 p.m.

[00:09:04] and then at 9.30 I was like, hey buddy, just checking in and then just radio sounds. And then so at 10.47 I texted the group. I said I chose the 2023 movie River Wild which is a remake of the Meryl Streep Kevin Bacon movie from the 90s.

[00:09:18] Nate has mentioned this remake over and over again as a turning point in his own life when he felt like he was paddling up a river against a swift current. This movie was the only thing acting that's been going on for a long time.

[00:09:30] So you know, I was just like, you got to get to know the Meryl Streep Kevin Bacon and it was like, okay, I'll definitely come back to it. And then he said, yeah, I could do anything about it if it was fun, but it wasn't any fun.

[00:09:42] So the movie that I saw, I just couldn't get to the end of it. So I did get to know the Meryl Streep Kevin Bacon and it was so fun to see that. I could definitely get to know the Meryl Streep Kevin Bacon. And I'm like, I'm just—

[00:09:54] I'm just like, hey, too high. Three, three, three highs? That's pretty dang good. So then let me add those fours. That's four. So that's freaking hilarious. Four is really good. So then this, then that

[00:10:04] my follow was as this was a good three minutes later, as you're both fully aware, I don't attend his church. However, parishioners have actually mentioned to me in passing that he often quotes from the script and he does call it scripture. Although I'm still

[00:10:16] not sure he knows what that means for the river is bountiful forks lie and wait is what they mainly tell me. And I did look up the script and that's actually

[00:10:24] not part of it. But I think it's best to just let that go. Now, Brad, to that you indicated that you could respond with a thumbs up or thumbs on it. You just put the ha ha.

[00:10:33] Yeah. You didn't actually respond ha ha ha ha. I didn't want to be so was that a funnier for you or no? Did you laugh harder or less hard? No, so I also have a kind of a rule

[00:10:41] with myself that I don't like to be super repetitive with the way I respond to things. So like if I've already done a ha ha ha ha ha then like I'll just do like a

[00:10:48] That was five ha ha's. You did a four. I'll just do a quick like icon ha ha just to keep the fun going. And then Thursday morning at that 10 20 am Ben, you've never seen

[00:10:57] misery. So really a good recap of like all the fun we just had the night before just like hey sorry about that. Those are really funny jokes. You know all that really I was trying to do comedy for you a little bit just real friendly band.

[00:11:09] You know, yeah, just and just a real gloss over. I you know what I expect from you now from now on Nate just my dad's K that's what I expect from now on is a fucking response.

[00:11:20] But I did give you a good film. You gave me a great film. So I'll pull up my notes app here, which I always use to document which movies I've watched. Oh, piece of shit. What are you talking about? Listeners, let me tell you what Ben

[00:11:32] was going to do in order to keep track of the movies that he watched. He was going to write a text message to his girlfriend, not send it, but keep it in there so

[00:11:42] that he could reference it later as opposed to using the notes app on his phone, which is what it was fucking meant for. I just forget the notes app exists. That's getting mad at Ben. What are you actually kids now? I forgot.

[00:11:54] I forgot. I forgot. So I did. I watched The River Wild, which is the remake. You actually did watch the remake. I did watch it. Wow. Oh boy. Taren Killham. Yeah. I didn't realize that was him because he's put on some,

[00:12:09] he's bulked up a little bit. And he's playing Kevin Bacon. He's not though at all. Oh, no. No. Oh, he's playing more of the John C. Riley role. Okay. Because in the original, Kevin Bacon and John C. Riley are the bad guys.

[00:12:24] And I didn't realize that John C. Riley was the bag in the first one. Meryl Streep is hot in River Wild because you know what I did? I watched River Wild after I watched The River Wild because I was like, well, let's see the source material here.

[00:12:38] Wait, had you never seen the original River Wild? Oh man. I saw it. So I'm a little confused. You watched the original The River Wild or you just watched the original? No. He watched the remake and then he watched the original.

[00:12:49] And it's fun to do that sometimes. Obviously, you try to do the remake after the original. So you can just kind of pick up on things. This was a little fun to watch the remake first though because then watching the other one, because I watched it directly after.

[00:13:05] And it was just fun to see kind of like what. And you did that because you had enough time because Nate hadn't responded to your text message, right? Exactly. And so I did that.

[00:13:12] And the original is obviously the better film. But I will say there were some stuff in the remake that wasn't necessarily bad. I heard that there were some interesting things in the remake. It was. It was the dynamic between, so let's just call them Kevin Bacon and

[00:13:28] John C. Riley's characters. Okay. Because they still definitely have that dynamic. It's it's a and Nate, would you look up the cast of The River Wild the 2023? Yeah, I have it right here. It's Taryn Killiman. Then who's the other guy?

[00:13:40] It's husband and wife team Leaton Meester. No, no, no, no. Leaton Meester is the main character. Oh, and Adam Brody. Adam Brody. There you go. Adam Brody plays a great piece of shit. So he's out of jail and he's he's took a job

[00:13:51] with a river guide with his friend, Taryn Killiman's character. And they then there's some an incident that happens and he basically doesn't want to go back to jail. He thinks he's

[00:14:01] going to get blamed for it. Adam Brody's character does. And he goes, he's still got my back, bro. He's doing and it's very much a dynamic between those two characters. So it would be like if

[00:14:09] Kevin Bacon and John C. Riley's characters were really at each other's throats and not wanted in the original. John C. Riley just could the dopey kind of like go along guy and Kevin Bacon. Okay, Kevin. Kind of. He's like, I don't want to hurt your kid.

[00:14:22] But I will. And so it's just a Timmy from Jurassic Park. Joseph Mozello, yeah. Is is is work. The funny thing is when I was a kid, I remember seeing Joseph Mozello in the movie and having already seen Jurassic Park.

[00:14:37] And I wasn't super familiar with Meryl Streep because she's not necessarily making movies for kids. Sure. And I thought that it was the star. No, no, I thought it was Laura Dern Mo from Jurassic Park. So I was like, Oh, fuck yeah. That's amazing. But I'm just figuring

[00:14:51] out that John C. Riley was in films in 1994. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. He was he was a weird. He was a consistently working character actor through the late 80s, 90s. It was no. It was so out of place for me because I'm like, this is a very

[00:15:05] about saying. John C. Ram. Like that can't be. He's in thunder. Yeah. Yeah. That's odd to me. So so the cast is amazing in the original, right? Of course, Kevin Bacon plays a great fucking douchebag. Yeah. Not sorry, not really douchebag. Just

[00:15:21] like a liar manipulator. Sounds like a douchebag. I mean, yeah, but it's like he doesn't come off smarmy like in that way. He comes across like, Oh, hey, someone lying to me and manipulating

[00:15:29] to me. They're douchebags. That's fair. So I think the scene that best describes what this guy is, this character is, is he gives Rourke $200 for his birthday after they just had barely

[00:15:38] met and the dad was like, that's too much money. You got to give it back. And Rourke's like, no, you didn't want to come on this trip. It caused an argument and the character of Wade

[00:15:48] played by Kevin Bacon. He kind of softly looks at the dad figure and he goes, Oh, hey, I'm sorry. I just was trying to make it better. And you can just tell like, fuck you, man. Like,

[00:15:59] but you can't call him out on it because technically he's right. I'm just trying to it's very, very slick character. Meryl Streep though again, gorgeous and wonderful and powerful. What a great performance she gave. I would, yeah, I love

[00:16:16] River Wild is what that was. It's been a while since I've seen it. I saw it the first time when I was a kid and then I watched, I think when I was like in high school or college, but I

[00:16:23] haven't seen it since. Yeah. I think they, in the remake, they kind of try to up the stakes a little bit. There's more murder and stuff like right off the bat. Murder. Murder. But yeah,

[00:16:33] if you're going to pick between the two, watch the original. Well, it's a good assignment, Nate. Yeah, thanks buddy. So I watched the movie. Nate silence is very telling. Yeah. Well,

[00:16:45] I mean, I'll hear from him about 14 hours and get it. Oh no. Got him. So I watched a movie with the boys that actually called luck. Have you heard of this? Yeah, I've heard of this.

[00:16:57] It's fine. I mean, it's way too long. It's a two hour kids movie. Yeah, it was crazy long and they were all over the place. It's just called luck. Yeah. It's

[00:17:06] an Apple TV plus original animated movie. Oh yeah, 2022. Yep. And I get it. The moral of the story is if you have bad luck, it's to appreciate the good luck and blah, blah, blah. But

[00:17:18] a real man makes his own luck. It took two hours to get there and it was a long journey. I paused it at one point thinking it was almost over. We still had more than an hour left.

[00:17:27] So not good luck. Not good luck for a bad old boy, but the boys, they loved it. Cool. You're gonna have a lot of fun taking kids to see bad movies. Yeah, no, I get it.

[00:17:38] And then I watched my assignment. I watched Misery, which is what Brad, actually, I got that movie for you. That's true. And I don't know why. I said you'd never seen it and

[00:17:52] you got it for Brad? Yeah, I got it for Brad. No, no, I mean like I got a physical copy of it big. Oh yeah, because it wasn't streaming anywhere. Yeah. And we just mentioned it.

[00:18:00] And so I bought the Blu-ray for you. Thank you for like a birthday or something. Yeah. Anyway, it is now available for purchase because I bought it because that's the only way I could rent it. Thanks, Nate. Just really bad 1000 over here for old buddy boy.

[00:18:11] And no, but Annie Wilkes character, character of Annie Wilkes played by Kathy Bates. And you famously have a crush on love Kathy Bates. Love me some Bates. I mean, I thought I watched Psycho because I heard Bates Motel and I was like maybe she's naked

[00:18:25] in a motel room. Yeah. Well, that's why you loved about Schmidt so much because you were able to give yourself a nice, finally, nice hot dog, Handshake. Fine. A nice hot. Did you just say that? Did you come up with that? Just now? Oh,

[00:18:34] that's nice. Yeah, I know. That's good. That's good. I'm gonna take a minute. I like that one a lot. Hot dog Handshake. My hand would be the spot. You're like making a corn dog, making a corn dog. I like that. Anyway, I see of course

[00:18:57] why Kathy Bates won the Oscar for Best Actress. She is phenomenal. It reminds me of James McAvoy's performance is split. She has a true split personality where she can turn it on

[00:19:10] and off and her her well, if you haven't seen misery, James Kahn plays a writer, very famous, very, very famous writer who always goes to the same resort in Colorado to finish his books.

[00:19:23] He gets in a car wreck. He wakes up in a woman's home and she kind of munch hounds and syndromes it where she has a big snowstorm because he can't get out. And so she explains that and he's fine with

[00:19:33] it at first and she's got like two broken legs and stuff like that. And he's fucked up. But eventually she realizes that he's going to be leaving when he gets better. So she is just keeping him against his will. And he starts to realize that as well.

[00:19:47] So much like the movie Titanic, you know what happens in misery. Everybody in the zeitgeist knows she uses a sledgehammer, she breaks his ankles. That's part of the culture that we

[00:19:55] have. I was so interested in what the actual movie is about then because obviously we know what happens and it's such a more of a character study about these two. They're only that they're

[00:20:06] it's them two in the movie and maybe a little bit of the sheriff. But realistically, it's a movie about two actors facing off with each other. And it was fantastic. And the scene

[00:20:16] is brutal and it's horrible. It's hard to watch. But I loved I love Kathy Bates and this I thought she was phenomenal. It's suspenseful too. It is. Oh yeah, they play it very, very well.

[00:20:26] And then last but not least, I watched last night I watched Twister because I went to the movies today and I saw Twisters. Oh, I saw Twisters as well. Yeah. So guess what fellas?

[00:20:38] I saw Twisters. Oh, so we got a Twister sisters a Twister thon twist twist a thruster. Oh, that's not no let's take that. That thruster is not a good it's a triple twister.

[00:20:53] Thruster just sounds right. What are you in for a thruster? Yeah, pull the thruster on a none. Oh, worse. Yeah, don't do that to nuns. This gets worse. This gets worse. So do you guys want to

[00:21:04] talk about Twisters? Sure. That your fucking ass I do. What'd you think, Brad? Well, first of all, how do you guys feel about the original Twister? So Nate, I haven't seen the original in probably

[00:21:14] 15 years. Oh really not rewatch it. Man, I watched Twister like but I remember here. Oh no, I remember watching it as a younger like you know. So before I forget I want to mention this

[00:21:24] little anecdote friend of the pod Luke Starchy and I have a text message conversation about this movie and he reminds me that his RIP his mom she's a lovely lady but she basically hated Twister

[00:21:36] because of Helen. Oh, that's right. She had said like in that tank top she knew what she was doing and it's like the wardrobe department gives her this and she's supposed to be like no I don't

[00:21:45] want to wear that I know what it would say about me as I was I mean to be fair she does have a choice in the wardrobe. Yeah, the actors can like absolutely can have like I'd say in

[00:21:55] like what their wardrobe is like it's not like they're forced to wear whatever the customer decides Luke that I apologize because I said yeah that's not like she can just push back

[00:22:01] and be like I don't want to wear that. No, she has your chef's glue again. You're not gonna you're not gonna be you know I don't like well he's the raincoat killer. Yeah, I don't want to

[00:22:07] wear a raincoat. Typically, typically wearing that raincoat is a raincoat killer. Typically the wardrobe department comes up with multiple options and presents them to the filmmaker and the star and they like have conversations they figure out what worked best for the

[00:22:19] character but let's be honest it's Helen Hunt known for her seductive dress. That is true. It's very true. Yeah, she was she was doing a lot of tank top and rainwear and so Luke I do

[00:22:29] apologize she could have said no it was Helen Hunt's fault. However, I will say though even though she is wearing tank tops throughout the movie and there are rainstorms it's not as if they don't play it like yeah you're not you're not getting gratuitous like nipples through

[00:22:42] the you got more gratuitous red would remember oh I'm so would Ben you got more gratuitous with Glenn Powell in a white t-shirt in the rain oh yeah 100 nobody complained about that

[00:22:51] I don't complain about that at all yeah absolutely so yeah no I just watched it last night obviously the the the violence of the storm and the aftermath is the thing that really sticks out to me after

[00:23:02] watching it very recently they really did a good job of like rolling into town after the storms have passed and like see the devastation and stuff like that it wasn't as uh it wasn't

[00:23:13] as like I want to say like saccharine as I remember it one less time you had seen it oh I don't know probably five years okay um but I remember as a kid thinking like it was terrifying

[00:23:24] you know the the rattling of the oh yeah the saw they do a great job with the sound yeah um but yeah and so I actually I made sure that my subwoofer and my and my surround sound was working because

[00:23:34] I wanted to hear that last night and it was great like the sound still holds up obviously it's a it's a good movie it's a fun summer blockbuster disaster film it's a it's a bit

[00:23:42] of a silly movie yeah but it's but it's done in a very entertaining way yeah and the cast is wonderful you'll see more Hoffman and Kerry Ellway's and it's just just great absolutely yeah so

[00:23:52] twisters yeah Nate will Nate would you like you like twister right I yeah from what you remember yeah yeah from what I remember I really like twister it terrified me at times because again it's

[00:24:02] supposed to it's it's not a horror movie but it's a disaster film right of course and so you're supposed to get a little bit anxious about what's happening but no I loved it and I was excited

[00:24:12] about seeing this and I took a guest of the podcast son Finley Finley and we went and loved every minute of it hell yeah it was so much fun it was so solid this cast was so

[00:24:28] charismatic and fun the chemistry between the two main actors where is she from so she's she's her biggest role more recently was an adaptation of where the crawdads sing and then she was also in did you watch the movie fresh on hulu with Sebastian Stan

[00:24:47] no I did not well you should because it's great and she's she plays the female lead in it what's that about it is about a woman who gets kidnapped by Sebastian Stan and and that's all I'll tell you

[00:24:58] because it's a lot of more fun to find out what happens next for it I'll also give you another suggestion she was in a series called a main series called under the banner of heaven with

[00:25:07] Andrew Garfield oh right on FX and that's fantastic it's really good yeah the crime thriller set in I'll just say Mormon town she seems to be an actress on the rise right yes absolutely

[00:25:19] and this will definitely help and of course Glenn Powell is already pretty big but he's getting even bigger after topical Maverick and anyone but you showing that he is just he's a leading man

[00:25:28] he's got it oh the man is dripping with the Riz as the kids say he's not what's interesting about him is he's not like 25 right he's been in the game for quite a while he is in spy kids 3d

[00:25:42] I'm not joking that's a real thing with John C Riley I don't think John C I would believe it but I don't think you uh but no Glenn Powell Antonio Ben Dyer's but I also love twisters this this was

[00:25:56] it's just a blast you know it is everything a summer blockbuster should be yeah 100% I love they put a little bit of a spin on the storm chasing team dynamic adds a little bit more

[00:26:11] intrigue to the plot even though it's pretty similar honestly the movie comes close to being more of a remake than a sequel it's it's it's similar beats has you know similar characters

[00:26:23] and story structure and they're telling a lot of it they're doing it you know there's two highways running side by side here yeah you know and they're both on the way to some awesome fucking tornadoes

[00:26:33] and yeah the effects are incredible in this movie they really are I was super impressed by how well they recreated storms and like the stuff they do especially with you know the final act it

[00:26:43] just it looks amazing they did a great job and they they you know with films like this you don't want too much emotional resonance because you want it to be a summer blockbuster but the

[00:26:53] director and the writers did a great job of feeling enough emotional resonance where you connect to the characters yeah you connect to the story oh and you always like to and you're interested in

[00:27:03] what happens right exactly you you always want to watch a film like this and take it for what it's worth right so you're like okay this is a fun popcorn action blockbuster but then

[00:27:12] it's okay that every once in a while you're watching oh I didn't see that coming yeah and there were a few things and nothing mind blowing no but it's enough of a nice little touch character

[00:27:20] turn where you're like oh I wasn't what I thought I like stuff like that now you guys aren't as it involved in the movie news scene as how dare you we've talked about this son of a bitch so I

[00:27:31] wanted to ask were you at all expecting and then ultimately disappointed by the fact that there's no actual connective tissue to the original twister no I didn't care no I was looking for

[00:27:44] it I thought that when I was I thought when the mom came in it was gonna be maybe Helen Hunt or something like that no I was actually glad they did I'm so glad they didn't so I so I initially

[00:27:57] was thinking that I was kind of wondering if they were going to be able to hide it because it had been reported that they weren't able to get her back Helen Hunt actually originally wanted to

[00:28:05] direct her own twister sequel and they they had a whole idea to do something that was she didn't want to wear the shirt it was like it was gonna have David digs and Raphael Castell

[00:28:16] from Blindspotting in it it was going to be like involve a team from a historically black college and she was like and we were developing at this time when like diversity was like really popular

[00:28:24] but we couldn't get a meeting to like make it happen it's like well that's disappointing but so I actually wondered if that role that that moratieri plays maybe was they hoped of course let's see if we can get it but the director lea Isaac Chung actually

[00:28:39] did an interview and he said he's like no I actually never thought about her for that role he's like because if I wanted Joe Harding back in a twister's movie she would have been in it

[00:28:49] and I wouldn't want her doing that like there's no reason for me to put her on a farm she would have been in it meaning she would have been in it right he's like I don't want her being on a

[00:28:56] farm and like wondering why her daughter is not calling her like I would I would still want to see her out you know of course and so when when he said that I was like okay yeah I like

[00:29:03] that and that that makes sense so I but but it does it's one of those things where it's like it easily feels like they could have fit Helen Hunt into that role so you know you talked about

[00:29:11] misery earlier and that was the first film I ever remember Kathy Bates and and so I've had an uncomfortable relationship with Kathy Bates ever since right I'm not kidding you Kathy Bates makes me nervous every time I see her film and now David Corrin Corinswept

[00:29:28] yes is this the first film I've ever seen him in and I know he's going to be the Superman he's gonna be Superman and I'm gonna dislike him now oh I was like this is dollar store

[00:29:38] Henry Cavill so what's funny is I didn't realize that this that was David Corinswept in this movie and so and I kept thinking I was like man he looks a lot like Henry Cavill yeah that's wild

[00:29:47] I'm not joking I thought that same thing and then we did on Slash when we did a story because the director talked about how he got to see a little bit of what like David Corinswept is

[00:29:55] going to bring to Superman because he was auditioning while they were shooting that movie and he's like every now and then I saw a little bit of Superman a little bit of Clark Kent

[00:30:03] because I knew what he was doing for the audition and so like it's just really funny that like he so in the movie he plays kind of just not an asshole really but just kind of like kind of is

[00:30:12] a little bit of a slight bit of a dick a little little pompous he reminds me of the Wigolvos twins in social network yeah he graduated from MIT he's a storm chaser but maybe not

[00:30:24] cares about the money cares about the progress cares it's cocky yeah cocky yeah and yeah so it was it was a I don't know knowing all that now makes sense but like watching the movie

[00:30:38] that was the one character that I was like it looks like they're trying to give him more to do and they didn't because like they introduced the character I think for the kind of character

[00:30:46] he was he had just enough to do yeah I don't know I agree but there may have been another layer that could have given him and it was with the relationship with Anthony Ramos that could

[00:30:55] have been a little bit more they introduced that a little bit more like that it could have been a little bit more developed as a as an eventual rivalry or something like that but they just

[00:31:03] didn't really give it any any teeth couple other thoughts it was interesting to see more attorney as Tierney Tierney I think you know somebody that I had to crush on

[00:31:15] praying the 90s oh sure being an an older mom now oh yeah but I was still like she could get it like she's like almost 60 but I'm like no no yeah he hasn't seen iron claw yet huh

[00:31:28] yeah nobody is she look great in there well she plays the mom I mean the other one that I calm down the other one that I had a hard time with that I I thought was odd to me was Paul

[00:31:40] Sheeran this okay so that just made me like does he know what is that that's a cameo like that cameo made no sense to me well first of all I don't think Paul Sheeran's

[00:31:50] forgive me famous enough to have a cameo no no no that's not it's just a it's just a fun bit part nope I disagree I think that he is famous enough because I go is that Paul Sheeran

[00:32:00] why is he in this like honestly it was too much I was fine with it no it seemed odd to me so it's a choice to cast somebody that famous to play that bit agreed so that's a that's a cameo

[00:32:11] for 85 cameo made no sense to me for 85 percent of people out there they do not know who Paul Sheeran is and why so why why cast him in that bit part instead of anybody else though that's the thing

[00:32:23] he why I pay Paul sheeran for that I guarantee I mean maybe because like Paul Sheeran the kind of person who still has to audition man you know let me explain you something guys about he gets

[00:32:34] so auditioned not for that role yeah exactly no no that gives two lines let me let me explain something to you about Hollywood because there's this inflated sense of that just because you are

[00:32:43] familiar with somebody they they are famous they don't audition or anything like that people at Paul Sheeran level have to audition for roles all the time especially for roles he doesn't even have an name at airport especially for bit parts in blockbuster movies now in this case

[00:32:58] disagree disagree in this case I wouldn't be surprised if he is like friends with Lee Isaac Chung or something like that or or somebody else and the reason that I'm gonna use your

[00:33:07] own logic against you here is because if 15% of the people do know him and would be jarred by that they wouldn't hire him for that because like that's it's no that's not true at all they should have

[00:33:17] just a character actor in there then instead that's not true at all because they if that many people don't care or don't know then it's not going to hurt anything especially such a minor role

[00:33:25] like that I mean we were but Nate and I were and and Luke who was even like why that's so weird why is he yeah because you guys know who he is yeah but so many people know where

[00:33:34] yeah exactly a ton of people do it was no one cares the way that you do though I'm gonna tell you right now that it's a cameo not a role no it is a cameo by the way it's this is boom but by who

[00:33:45] boom wikipedia boom wikipedia that's your big evidence yep yeah screen rant even puts as an article called Paul Sheeran hold on a minute hold on a second shut the fuck up don't bring on this fucking screen rant is run by a shitty fucking conglomerate company that underpays his

[00:34:05] employees and that that places a fucking content farm fuck screen rent and don't ever mention them in this podcast again and that's genuine disdain for screen right then over here yeah if you mentioned screen rat the podcast is getting shut down we're talking to you don't bring it

[00:34:19] don't mention screen don't say it don't say it we're just I've already said it enough it's we've already got a beelge situation on our hands we're talking alone over here real quick

[00:34:25] what's up me okay Nate what's the last movie you saw buddy so it's a cameo he's just mad that it's a cameo and he can't admit it's not a cameo you know how many times people miss use the word

[00:34:41] cameo you have to be a certain level of famous to make a cameo is famous he is famous I said a certain level he's at that level he's at that level in that role it's not a cameo well Paul

[00:34:51] I'm sorry buddy that your friend Brad omen doesn't think you're famous enough to land a cameo in twisters I I think that you do Brad and I met him backstage at a show he was so polite him and

[00:35:01] Jason Manzookas and June Diane Raphael they were sweethearts they didn't need to say hi to us but Brad and I talked we talked about the Han Solo film with them in Chicago backstage they were sweethearts eating pizza they were lovely and how dare you tell me that Paul

[00:35:15] Shear is not famous enough to have a cameo in twisters you go you go to hell wow by the way I'm sorry Paul I'm sorry Paul Paul Shear tweeted out fun movie fact I'm the only actor

[00:35:27] in both twister films and it's not true but I love that I love that tweet now I think it's true yeah you just believe everything of course I do yeah screen ran said it what's grand

[00:35:41] rant it's Anne Ryan's brother screen ran screen ran hey Nate what's the last movie so buddy did Paul Shear make a cameo in it no I did see a film called twisters if you guys want to talk about

[00:35:56] okay so he wasn't listening to the part of the podcast though that's okay yeah it's pretty common I also saw another film given to me by my friend Brad on time thanks Ben wow wow

[00:36:15] given to me it was a 1997 hey Brad you titled these episodes right oh yeah can you title this one 14 hours later that's pretty good no we'll see though a lot of time left a film by Robert

[00:36:28] Semeckis did you give this film to me because you liked the dialogue between science and faith and thought that I might find it a little bit compelling 100% yep yep that was a big reason

[00:36:39] I was excited to give it to you yeah Polar Express so instead of Helen Hunt this star is another 90s star welcome to Marwin Jody Foster um and you know what Jody Foster where you been

[00:36:53] well she's still around she was just in a movie no but she's not been in a ton she's directing now she's a great actor she does she does direct a lot she actually uh she's she was in the most

[00:37:01] recent iteration of true detective that was apparently pretty good true detective night country um and she's a movie called Nigh-Ed about a net bending as a swimmer I figured you gave this

[00:37:09] movie to me for two reasons what what movie contact okay I should say the title of the film I thank you thanks he was doing a long lead slow build up I figured you gave me this film for two reasons

[00:37:20] a the science and faith the atheist uh Jody Foster plays a doctor a scientist that is looking for aliens she has this ongoing conversation with Matthew McConaughey as well like who is a

[00:37:35] philosopher I think right philosopher uh well I think he's he's also like a consultant to the government about yeah but I think it's BHC is in philosophy I think he measures yeah but but also

[00:37:45] other things about doubt about religion about faith about is there something else out there right be it god be it aliens be it like you have people that are constantly looking for

[00:37:58] something right is this existence all we have and now Brad you also know I don't love space movies that's true actually by now famously yeah I don't because they they terrify me because again

[00:38:13] the thought of space and the idea that space goes forever infinity terrifies me and so um space movies just kind of give me an existential crisis I think that's why you believe in god

[00:38:27] because you just think that there's gotta be a guy there to catch you yeah yeah if you were to float away as an astronaut you just need a warm bosom to land in but there's one other reason

[00:38:37] I believe that Brad gave me this film you know what it is uh think the stars somebody else that he knows I love see I haven't seen a movie a long time a guy named Tom scarott

[00:38:51] Tom scarott and we all know that you love I love a good Tom scarott film and so you also really enjoy asking people if they yeah you guys you guys enjoyed Tom scarott you know what I

[00:39:03] know I know for a fact now Brad loves Tom scarott yeah because he gave me alien I think yep and he also now the second film he gave me after alien was contact another Tom scarott film no of

[00:39:13] course and so this film again is about science doubt it's about uh Jody Foster is looking for aliens find them um spoiler alert and um can we talk a little bit about the ending

[00:39:27] sure did you like the ending of this film 30 years ago yeah yeah what did you think of the ending of this film no I love that I love the ending because I like the the intrigue that it creates

[00:39:36] there's a lot of controversy about this ending correct no because I I like the feeling that you get when you have something where like you're left your left light like oh shit yeah because the

[00:39:45] the big thing is that they after they receive a signal that seems to have come from somewhere they figure out that buried within the signal are these plans to build a machine that will allow them to travel across space to where these beings are from and so Jody

[00:40:00] Foster is the one who ends up taking the machine after some some hiccups you know to a wormhole yeah through a wormhole and she goes and she has this experience and she comes back

[00:40:12] and there's a whole government like analysis of what happened and everything and no one believes that she saw anything all the recording equipment they had recorded nothing but static and at the very end when James Woods who's a politician is talking to Angela Bassett

[00:40:27] who is also overseeing the program what is said is like the the intriguing thing I find about this is not that they recorded static but that they recorded 18 hours of static when it was she was

[00:40:39] only apparently gone for just like a split second that the the machine dropped her quote unquote through the wormhole which implies that something did actually happen but they just can't see for whatever reason so what I liked about this film and and actually I was reading

[00:40:54] some reviews of this film and Roger Ebert who I love talks about this film ruined Independence Day for him because this is a film a space film an alien film that makes you think yeah right

[00:41:07] and it does it entertains there there's elements of blockbuster types of like you know fun in this film as well space travel these kind of things going to a different world but it also makes you think in a way that's philosophical existential and I love films like

[00:41:24] this so I really actually loved this film I thought it was fantastic and you know I like Independence Day too so I'm not I don't share that with Robert or Roger Ebert I love Independence

[00:41:35] Day but I get what he's saying film when it's done so well can entertain and also make you think yeah and I believe contact does that 100% there's also a I don't know I won't say famously

[00:41:48] but like at least among like the film Twitter circle who have talked about online there is one particularly incredible shot that is pulled off so well the beer shot yeah that you don't

[00:41:58] even realize how cool of a shot it is don't know how they did yeah it's there's a whole explanation about online the explanation in itself is extremely confusing this is also before

[00:42:06] a lot of digital like yeah right I mean isn't wasn't this a shot like with like physical cameras and everything right this isn't like they CGI'd out right exactly yeah it's it's you have to see

[00:42:19] it to really understand it because if I were trying to explain it you would just be confused but just go go you search contact a mirror scene they'll show you the shot and then though there's an explanation somewhere out there about how they did it and it's it's

[00:42:30] incredible no it's truly amazing cinematography there yep yeah wonderful shot um also this film was uh the story was by Carl Sagan which I thought was really interesting uh really

[00:42:41] really well done I loved this film I did not see it when it came out um but I'm glad I did not awesome I love it when a plan comes together so thanks for giving me a movie on time

[00:42:55] did you watch uh did you watch anything else uh I don't think I did I've been watching a lot of what was happening he's just being an adip shit he's like we told me to watch it I fucking

[00:44:32] all right games times with Brad Ben and Nate's here to the very end I saw dead pool Wolverine okay and I want to talk about it all right guys uh buckle up here's all here's all spoilers

[00:44:47] no Taylor Swift major star Travis Kelsey killed okay here's here's not a spoiler Taylor Swift's not in the movie that's a spoiler in it of itself don't tell me who's not in the movie there was

[00:44:56] there's a lot to talk about don't tell me who's not in the movie Garth Brooks isn't in it Chris Gaines is there you go okay spoiler alert Joe is a serial killer Joe Biden Joe Rogan

[00:45:07] okay oh okay as Joe Biden I now we're talking I often get them confused no I often get them confused so dead but yeah dead pool Wolverine I went to the press screening by the way hard

[00:45:16] that was my Jiminy click I often get them confused that was pretty good I once you dead pool Wolverine last night at a press screening in Chicago who's dead with you by the way friend of the pod Charlie

[00:45:26] Young came with me because you didn't invite Ben invite me uh well Nate it wasn't your turn I'll invite you to like some like really serious hey you a Ben do you have time I'm going to

[00:45:55] see a movie Brett he almost died that day yeah first of all he almost dies every day my girlfriend tells me that she like I basically don't breathe at night but uh yeah I saw dead Wolverine the embargo is up so I can talk about it

[00:46:12] and I'm not going to say any spoilers so don't worry about that but you can it's fine no I love I want to know I loved this movie it is uh it is the funniest movie in the franchise um it is whoa

[00:46:24] it's the funniest of the three dead pool movies or just in Marvel Cinematic Universe well I mean those are the same thing buddy oh I mean oh sorry sorry sorry I apologize I apologize yeah I'm gonna

[00:46:33] take that back we'll take it back technically the first two dead pools were not in the MCU and it could go against the war and technically now it's the same and yeah it could dance with

[00:46:40] Thor Ragnarok it is I think funnier than Thor Ragnarok um I do think it's funnier than the first two Deadpool movies wow Hugh Jackman is not phoning it in here he is all in uh he just he

[00:46:51] just gives it and he's fantastic in this movie uh he gives it plenty of heart there are a lot of really fun cameos in this movie sure um some that you will not be expecting and they will

[00:47:03] absolutely blow your fucking mind awesome um it is uh I will say it does shut Kevin Feige calling in papers uh no I think cameos no I don't I mean not necessarily because he wouldn't

[00:47:16] necessarily he would have some sway to like make it happen but I think it's just what they do in this movie is it's the kind of thing that you want to be a part of especially if you

[00:47:26] like you'll understand what I mean so it's more than like the um multi-verse of madness X-Men kind of like lip service cameos correct so it's more impactful than that yeah it's a

[00:47:38] lot more fun than that okay um and those are silly and I liked them yeah and and there's some silliness with these ones too but they do serve a purpose in the story I will say

[00:47:47] the one thing uh the movie does suffer from here we go it's a couple things here we go Nate isn't there my son and then here's Nick man hey uh come on down to nitpicky brad's corner

[00:47:58] nitpicky brad's corner sponsored by dicks one guy that's and this is like Nate is able to say things like oh it was okay when it's like one of the greatest films of all time but then he's like

[00:48:08] oh nitpicky Nancy you know what you are nitpicky Nancy you are nitpicky Nancy that's your new name hey hey hey Nancy what's up nitpicky Nancy you guys are just pissed you can't see dead pool

[00:48:22] in old reenia yeah I am little bit yeah fucking asshole freaking Charlie the uh young you're dead to me I see when public it's on I'm not gonna give you the the Charlie young we got that you got that

[00:48:34] we got issues what's a good issue son stuttering Stanley what are you where aren't you gonna give him huh butter fingers brown something back from Omaha fucking idiot uh the movie does suffer from the same shortcomings that most Marvel movies have had issues with uh the villain is

[00:48:49] not particularly strong and their motivations are like okay um and there are some story things that are like uh that doesn't entirely make sense uh I don't know why that's happening but everything

[00:49:02] else that is happening is so much fun and the movie is so entertaining that like it didn't really bother me probably because Ryan Reynolds famously paid out of pocket to have the screenwriters

[00:49:10] on set for the first dead pool and now he's like I need that money so no screenwriters no no it's uh it that's really I think honestly the reason is because this one is bigger in scope

[00:49:22] than the other two dead pool movies um and it kind of has to be because they're joining the MCU so there's a lot more going on exactly um so it's the it's not a perfect move any means and I

[00:49:33] it's one of those things where like the the narrative is more of an excuse to make certain things happen and everything else is so satisfying and entertaining and it doesn't matter yeah I

[00:49:44] was totally fine with it cool I'm curious to see how it holds up on a second viewing just to see if like because there's when you're seeing a movie for the first time like this there's a certain

[00:49:51] like charge and like your serotonin and like the excitement and like seeing it for the first time and then once that goes away yeah you just really want to do it a second time to just

[00:50:00] shit on it you know just to make sure that hey any joy any any like any happiness that I had let's just ring that out so I can give it a real I want to find all the things I really

[00:50:10] want to hate about it just like let's go black and white with this thing and just make sure that I take the joy out of life they're not doing a black and white cut of this movie

[00:50:16] actually it's going to be by the way I'm a little shocked at the the rotten tomatoes rating so far it's only 79% and most of the things I've seen on twitter have been super positive it's uh there

[00:50:26] but there are some people who like where the reactions is they uh I think for whatever reason some people aren't necessarily on Deadpool's wavelength there are even some people who did enjoy the first two Deadpool's that feel like this one just doesn't deliver in the same

[00:50:38] way um the guy who reviewed it for slash film chris evangelista who he can occasionally be be picky about certain superhero movies and he's not quite as lenient uh as like someone like me

[00:50:48] or something like that um he didn't think it was particularly funny um and he and uh didn't think Sean Levy didn't necessarily did a good job as a director as far as making it visually

[00:50:58] interesting and I do see the visual aspect of it um I just completely disagree with the comedic aspect obviously um because it's not shot as well as like something like Deadpool 2 where David Leach is an incredible action filmmaker and not only are the action scenes

[00:51:11] cool as far as the coreography is concerned they are cinematically pleasing as well yeah that's one of the things that I loved about that film yeah and and Sean Levy is not necessarily as adept at

[00:51:19] shooting action sequences the fights themselves are still very good um but they're not necessarily shot in those huge car crash scenes and like these big set pieces uh there's still big set

[00:51:29] pieces but it's just like it's a wide shot the whole thing no you'll understand I think what I mean when when you see it is it's just it's just not shot in a visually dynamic way

[00:51:39] hey you know what despite that I'm still gonna see it yeah no it's uh it's a lot of fun it really it is just a lot of fun I had an amazing time watching it I was I plenty of times where I was

[00:51:49] laughing and excited and just yeah and can't wait it's it's a very good time at the movie so make sure you see as soon as possible especially because there's a lot of things that can be

[00:51:57] spoiled for sure so it's one that you want to see as soon as you can what uh what else did you see I also I fact to mention this last week actually well we're out of time we're out of time

[00:52:07] and uh nope you forgot last week you lost the chance you're so ugly I saw ghost posters after life like three weeks ago and I forgot to do the stunk upon it hey guess what it sucks so no one cares

[00:52:18] it was not good but you know what I did see that was great long legs oh daddy long legs mommy daddy Nicholas Cage does that in the movie and it's creepy this movie is fantastic

[00:52:32] I don't want to oversell it because the marketing's already kind of doing that and they might make your best horror movie in decades yeah and it's not because it's not good but it's just it's it's hyping it up too much because because there's comparisons to silence of the

[00:52:43] lambs and silence lambs is one of the greatest crime tale of all time um and you should go in expecting that it is a movie that is very similar to silence of the lambs and structure and the

[00:52:52] story it's telling in that kind of thing it's not five of beans it's not quite as as good as as good as silence of the lambs but Mike Monroe is fantastic in it she's from it follows and

[00:53:04] she was also an independence day resurgence if you're looking for a more mainstream movie that you might recognize her from um and it's a movie where she's an FBI agent and there's a serial

[00:53:11] killer at large and they're trying to figure out what their deal is and how to find them and all that jazz uh but there is an interesting there is an interesting uh plot like um

[00:53:25] um twist I guess you could say that like makes it different from silence of the lambs and that's largely why I ended up like digging it you know accepting that even though it's not as good

[00:53:37] as silence of the lambs it does something different with that style of movie is she a big fat person oh wait or she a big fat person um but it's it's awesome Nicholas Cage is fantastic and he's

[00:53:47] doing a very Nicholas Cage creep fest performance I used to play for I used to play for the Buffalo Mills that's what he says in that movie yeah I remember when he said that

[00:54:01] but if you haven't seen Long Lays it's doing very well at the box office for a low budget horror movie and yeah it's it's got legs we'll see how long they are coming up next on Gene

[00:54:12] Shellett's shitcast it's not what his podcast is about um I also watched a movie that was signed to me by Ben Ben let me ask you when is the last time you saw this movie that you

[00:54:26] assigned me you'll have to remind me what it was oh good I got one of those lazy Ben assignments where I was like oh yeah I've seen this and I don't remember shit about it that's the

[00:54:35] thing I don't like it I might take a little time to give you the assignment but I think about it I pray about it hold on hold on Nate this isn't time for you to dig out of your hole

[00:54:43] I I gave this movie to you like a week ago when I was supposed to so it's been a week oh it's been you've drank a lot since then I guess slept a lot not really drank a lot sure

[00:54:52] um one of those is true traveled with children it was a lot old step dad Ben old step daddy Ben step daddy long legs so little gorilla hands Ben but seriously what is the film summer of Sam

[00:55:09] oh yeah yes I remember really liking this film okay when when the last time you got when it came out in 1998 99 okay okay film thanks no not good no no uh it's pretty good

[00:55:25] what was this only only has a 50% what was this whole lead up then 50 or 15 50 what's this whole lead up then your reaction like like oh what's that something something it's a piece of shit

[00:55:34] they're like no that's pretty good no it's because it's not who are you right now it's not a movie that I ever would have anticipated that you would have enjoyed very much it's a it's a slow

[00:55:42] burn it is a slow burn yeah um it's I was expecting this to be much more ingrained in the killings that David Berkowitz perpetrated during this time and what is all the summer so you think because

[00:55:55] it's me giving it to you it's going to be some action packed schlockfest no no I didn't think it was gonna be because I'm a piece of shit and I don't I don't like any nuance in my

[00:56:03] movies first of all okay fine you know what sometimes I like art first of all I wouldn't have expected a movie about David Berkowitz to be an action packed schlockfest um but I did expect

[00:56:14] it to be more so directly about the murders but instead because it's like Lee movie um it's actually focuses on characters who are essentially just living out their their life of the 70s during a huge blackout during well not a blackout but just the the power hours right

[00:56:32] was not a big part of it there's one part where there's power I'd best not I thought that would like the the murders took place and then like a big big part of this was like

[00:56:40] also the power is out for a lot of this no not for a lot of it oh well I just remembered them but uh there's good movie though good movie but um it's it mostly follows John

[00:56:48] Leguizamo and Mira Sorvino and an ensemble cast as they're living their their lives and it's the 70s so it's like it's kind of grungy and freewheeling and like lots of sex very

[00:57:00] horny lots of lots of drugs that's there you go no no the sex part was what probably convinced me because there's just as much sex in this movie as there is in boogie nights um and that's saying

[00:57:10] something uh go on um but it is uh it's it's a solid movie I I appreciate what Spike Lee's trying to do here because it's this interesting time capsule where a lot of times when you see

[00:57:23] movies that are focused uh in eras like the 60s or the 70s it's nostalgic for like oh it was such a different time it was so so great you know and this is so perfect in sacrosis pulling back the

[00:57:33] curtain and it's it's pulling back the curtain in a way where it's nostalgic for the seetier part of the 70s of like of the stuff that was like really don't don't remember when time square was time

[00:57:43] square when you could just go and get a glory whole beach um juliani but it's um it's it's two and a half hours long I think it overstages it is a little bit yeah um but the performances

[00:57:57] are good and it has a it has a fantastic 70s driven soundtrack um I knew you'd like that and by the way you gave him a two and a half hour movie don't ever complain about the length of

[00:58:06] movies I give you okay fiddler calm down but it's yeah I like overall overall liked it um I are you glad you watched it yes I had I had wanted to watch it for a while honestly

[00:58:21] the types of movies that I like to get like I really do try to strive to give you are the ones where you if you don't love it it will still fill in some kind of like institutional knowledge

[00:58:31] oh yeah because I do as much as I give you shit I do care about you and your career and so like seeing the rest of Spike Lee's film oh no for sure you know that's the kind of stuff so

[00:58:41] I also know that I do tend to like well that's a revenge film from 1997 and I fucking loved it like yeah there's only so many of those I can try to give you yeah and Spike Lee is one of

[00:58:50] the directors you should probably see most of his films yeah he's a very important filmmaker for a lot of reasons and not just because he's very talented but he's got a he's a filmmaker that

[00:58:59] actually has something to say which is very rare it's true I was very surprised by Adrian Brody's role in it he plays John Leguizamo's brother and he's what did John C Riley do um hey guys this is the powers out I'm David Berkowitz

[00:59:20] John C Riley as David Berkowitz I never you ever shoot you honestly I wouldn't mind seeing John C Riley play David Berkowitz I bet you could pull it off I'm sure you could he's a little too

[00:59:30] tall but but no yeah but so was you Jackman for Wolverine and that worked out pretty fucking well that's a good point um Adrian Brody plays John Leguizamo's brother who he's part of this

[00:59:40] like very stereotypical Italian family lots of yelling and wanting to fight each other in the streets and he but he is into the London punk scene and so like he wears has like crazy spiked hair and

[00:59:54] wears like a Union Jack tank top and he tries to talk with like a British accent everyone's like why the fuck are you talking like that what are you doing but he's also strips at a male

[01:00:03] strip club and does like gay escorting and stuff like that so he's like kind of like an outsider in the community and it was just it was I was not expecting to see Adrian Brody in a role like that

[01:00:13] which was really interesting to see but uh but yeah no it's like I said I'm glad I watched it and I appreciate that you gave it to me all right do you see anything else uh no that's pretty much

[01:00:22] it actually all right yeah um do we have to do we have to talk about the trailer not only do we have to talk about the trailer you have to sing the trailer song oh my god no I don't

[01:00:33] think that I wrote a game though so I'd have to sing the game song so you should like Nate and both wrote games so we have to sing a song you have to sing the trailer song because we have

[01:00:42] game songs trailers or game songs to write oh that's how it works oh it's only fair you're the only one that didn't bring a game you have to sing the trailer song when you call my name I like to

[01:00:59] watch a trailer I watch it on the web I like to watch it twice and you show me the movie and sometimes I like it but it's a lot better when I'm watching the trailer yeah okay all right

[01:01:15] yeah I was gonna cut you off oh it didn't sound like you okay you're a little late there but that's kind of apropos for you so oh shit double whammy we're on a ball tonight folks

[01:01:26] on a ball we are on a ball tonight folks we are just knocking it mailed it oh anyway uh Joker Florida grass Joker I'm gonna start calling this movie froker for french joker Joker photo grass is a film Joker

[01:01:56] de grassy Joker de grassy um junior high this so I've talked about this before and I gotta say I thought the first trailer was pretty insufferable but then I saw this trailer and um I I'm not sure

[01:02:09] if a movie can feel more pretentious if you if you are truly actively looking forward to seeing this film and you're being real about it I don't want to be your friend I I'm not gonna go that far

[01:02:21] because I know I have a lot of good friends with bad taste um and I just I don't understand like the the hype behind this because like it doesn't look particularly engaging or good

[01:02:33] and it just feels like it's trying so hard to be like oh you know we're just the real like we're the deep comic book movie you know you they've really seen a joker like this and it's just

[01:02:42] like uh you know what I don't fucking care I I'm so over this movie already and like I wish I wasn't I wish I was excited because walking Phoenix was good in the original movie

[01:02:52] see that's the thing I don't want people to think you know that that we're shitting on his performance because it was an excellent performance in a in a super pretentious film yeah it was just like which doesn't which doesn't really know what it's trying to

[01:03:04] tell you know it's farted in a jar and sniffed at the entire fucking oh my god and he's been sniffing farts just like all these past few years anyway so we saw the trailer and it's

[01:03:14] more pretentious ever can we be done with it please Nate what do you think about this because you haven't seen the original joker right no I told you guys one of you should

[01:03:22] assign it to me and you both said no we would not do that to you it's that bad but I might do it to you why I don't know just because I know you like I mean you like sad performance stuff so there you go

[01:03:34] you also like things about you know moral questions so to me this feels almost it's not an indie film but they're trying to make it seem like an art film oh yeah for sure 100 but it has a 200 million

[01:03:46] budget which confuses me what are they spending 200 million dollars on other than like some explosions the salary the set I mean it's a huge production yeah but it's 200 million like the rights to the

[01:03:59] name Peglisi films are too expensive hold on so what is that his name is that not the name say it again Peglisi what's Peglisi the sad clown Polly Ache is that what it is yeah

[01:04:12] Brendan Gleason in the joke like you should see the the the clown that's coming to town yeah sir I am yeah Polly Ache oh that's Peglisi Jesus Christ he says it in Watchman out loud

[01:04:24] wait what the Rorschach tells that joke in Watchman the movie oh the movie I've seen once when it came out in 2004 but even besides that that's a famous thing I thought it was produced

[01:04:40] no that'd be like if you're staying the Eiffel Tower is that not he say that in Perry that's how you say it Jesus Eiffel Tower and Perry well anyway so anyway the rights to

[01:04:53] Peglisi cost a hundred million dollars if you call it Joker 2 maybe I go see it but then you call it it I don't want to see this Nate do you want to do you want to do your game first

[01:05:08] hey can I get two tickets to Joker Folly Dukes I'm Joker I'm Joker I'm Joker I'm Joker Ben and make games all the time you go buddy all right let me pull it up here now wait are you guys going to

[01:05:20] sing the game song but Ben is but then you'd have to send a separate one do you want to try to do like a together song yeah oh a duet it's not often Ben gets assistance from Nate for the song

[01:05:34] that's very true why don't you sing Peglisi's theme song here we go we're gonna play a game play a game with Nate and Brad here we go we're gonna play but here's the thing I like that what I don't like is that all Nate did was

[01:06:03] it's I was going to go with this one much like this podcast I was trying to go faster and faster until the fucking wheels came off I was really happy that you did bring the famous Madagascar

[01:06:14] song Afro Circus into is that what that is? Nate gets that because he has kids no Chris rocks zebra character in Madagascar he goes that that that Afro Circus I thought you I like to play some games I like to play some games there you go all right

[01:06:33] you want me to do my game first yeah go ahead buddy yeah mine's the worst game I can promise you no that's not true this one is called you've not heard my game yet this one is called

[01:06:41] Misery this one's called who's nuts are these and it's just we're gonna turn off the lights I'm gonna put some in your hand you can tell me who's nuts the planters or Ben Conowitz is

[01:06:54] Misery sequels is what this game is called in the novel in the movie adaptation Paul's character another guy that is the writer writes a few different books about the character named Misery

[01:07:05] okay yep yep which one of these is the actual title of a mystery novel that he wrote in the film because there are eight of them I remember all of them because I'm gonna give you three choices

[01:07:17] per and you just have to chime in which with what you think so I'll go Brad I'll go Brad then they than Brad then all right so which of these three is is a novel that Paul wrote in the movie adaptation

[01:07:30] of misery yeah ready yep Misery's journey Misery's quest or Misery's echo Misery's journey wrong okay Misery's quest I was gonna say I get the point make yeah so this is

[01:07:45] going to be a game where if you get it wrong the other person gets a point yeah I got one point Misery's discovery Misery's search or Misery's secret Misery's secret wrong Brad gets a point

[01:07:57] it was Misery's search he literally just said the rules no but you have to guess the no he just said if you get it wrong the other person gets a point are you deaf no I'm gonna be honest

[01:08:09] I wasn't listening he literally didn't listen to have you confirm the thing that he just said and then actually benefited you to start and that's why I thought you were paying attention

[01:08:20] no I was it no it's because Nate goes no that's what I was going to say so he thinks that's why I got the point oh idiot all right Brad ready Misery's challenge Misery's purpose or Misery's past isn't it misery oh

[01:08:39] I wrote Misery too by the way said what he said yeah you know it's no Misery's challenge Misery's challenge Misery's past or Misery's purpose Misery's purpose it is wrong Misery's challenge so Nate you have two points right now I'm not gonna lie not the most creative titles

[01:08:58] for these books I know that's why it's fun all right here we go Nate Misery's fire Misery's trial Misery's stand yeah that's easy uh Misery's fire it is Misery's trial so now you

[01:09:13] do it too oh boy all right Brad you ready yeah Misery's triumph Misery's wish Misery's truth oh Misery's wish it is Misery's triumph Nate this is like flipping a coin yeah eventually you've got to call heads and it'll work right

[01:09:33] all right we got three more in eight here you go Misery's choice Misery's dilemma Misery's need no this is uh what was the first one choice yeah it's Misery's choice it's Misery's dilemma Brad this is your last shot at it uh yeah here we go

[01:09:50] Misery's creation Misery's love Misery's heart oh it's Misery's love it is Misery's love all right Nate your last chance here buddy you can tie him you ready Misery's future Misery's child Misery's loss Misery's lost Misery's child it's Misery's

[01:10:09] child yeah it is Misery's child I remember that one because that actually is yeah that's the one she makes him right oh yeah that's right that's how she brings them back all right uh now I've got a

[01:10:19] one off because I started to write a second game I will say I think that game should have been called Misery loves company that's good that's good I'm glad you said that I started writing a second

[01:10:27] game called Misery loves company and I'm not joking about this so I only was able to do one because I ran out of time so but I'm and of course because we're only doing Misery this

[01:10:36] time oh okay I'll just do the one all right so you uh I'm gonna need a buzzer um Kiki you got Kiki and all right so here we go so Misery loves company Kathy Bates won the Oscar for her performance as the

[01:10:48] villainous Annie Wilkes but she isn't the only person to win an Oscar for playing a baddie you tell me the actor or actress after I give you a string of words that you can put together

[01:10:58] to suss out who I'm talking about you ready sure all right HBO's yellow brick road Zootopia's yellowish fur commercials yellow colored treat I've got no answer so this is an Oscar winner for playing a villain and they also are associated with HBO's yellow brick

[01:11:27] road oh uh Kiki yep Zootopia's yellowish fur and commercials yellow colored treat Ernie Hudson incorrect oh I still have no answer all right so how about HBO's Oz yeah that's what Zootopia's lion

[01:11:45] and commercials yellow Eminem um oh I'm guessing no Idris Alba no it's JK Simmons that's why I said yellow Eminem and he's also the lion in Zootopia he's also in HBO's Oz I thought Brad Garrett was

[01:12:01] the yellow Eminem nope is it really JK Simmons yeah and before that it was uh John Goodman the red Eminem was John Lovitz and now it is someone different it's um it's Billy West

[01:12:13] yeah Billy West there you go I looked it all up Brad Garrett actually wasn't uh in those I always thought he was the the yellow Eminem yeah sorry buddy okay so there you go that was

[01:12:24] the first one but I found the yellow yellow yellow thing was uh clever enough it was trying for that all right it's funny uh yeah because yellow misery loves company though right because like yeah no it's

[01:12:35] good yeah yellow treat I thought you were talking about a twinkie which oh that's fair yeah that's right yeah I'm ready for your game yeah fuck yeah I am dude all right we're gonna call this Hollywood handlebars guess the star these are Hollywood handlebars these are famous actors

[01:12:52] that often wore mustaches and films based on my love of Tom Scarlett okay I was gonna say where is this what's the impetus for this and now we know you get a point if you guess the star

[01:13:05] and then you get another point whoever does the best impression of that actor or no there's no actresses of that actor okay you have to say it's gonna be really weird if there's actresses in here

[01:13:18] so for instance I will I will do an example for you I would say three men and a little lady in and out Magnum PI blue bloods and you would guess Tom scarott I'd be wrong because it would be

[01:13:29] Tom Salek correct then it's Farina so I will start you have fun looking up the fact that I was right about the yellow and then Brad no I was responding to a tweet I bet you were and I will I will give you

[01:13:42] the point for who does the best impression because I did look up the yellow I'm in anything before that I know you didn't I know he didn't believe you not at all so I didn't what I was surprised
