Episode 231 - Gratuitous Shots of Intercourse

[00:00:16] Hey everybody, it's another episode of Go Flix Yourself. My name is Ben Connows and with me as always is the Meg Griffin to my Peter Griffin, Brad Oman.

[00:00:25] Hey that's me! I have a nice hat.

[00:00:30] The Stewie Griffin to my Peter Griffin, Nate Lauchs.

[00:00:33] I have a funny head.

[00:00:35] And the Mr. Herbert to my Peter Griffin, Charlie Young.

[00:00:39] Wow.

[00:00:40] Wow.

[00:00:41] You chose violence this morning.

[00:00:43] I was hoping maybe he would try to do the voice, you know.

[00:00:45] But I don't think...

[00:00:46] I don't know if I can.

[00:00:46] Can anybody do a Mr. Herbert?

[00:00:48] I like the poppin' sounds.

[00:00:50] Get your fat ass back here.

[00:00:52] But there's gotta be a little bit of a whistle to it.

[00:00:54] That's the line though, it's like...

[00:00:56] Get your fat ass back here.

[00:00:58] Yeah, but there's a little whistle to that.

[00:01:00] Chris.

[00:01:01] You know, whistle through your teeth.

[00:01:02] Yeah, exactly.

[00:01:03] Chris Griffin.

[00:01:05] Chris.

[00:01:06] Anyway, it's an episode of Go Flix Yourself with our good friend Charlie Young is here.

[00:01:09] Hi.

[00:01:09] Friend of the pod.

[00:01:10] Hi buddy, it's good to have you back.

[00:01:11] First guest in the new cave.

[00:01:13] Yeah.

[00:01:13] How do you like it?

[00:01:14] I love it.

[00:01:15] How do you like the setup so far?

[00:01:16] It sucks.

[00:01:18] Fuck you.

[00:01:19] But do you miss though, our old cave had a dead frog on the floor?

[00:01:23] Yeah, two.

[00:01:23] Oh yeah.

[00:01:24] Two.

[00:01:25] Two dead frogs.

[00:01:26] I'm more of a wasp man.

[00:01:27] Oh yeah.

[00:01:28] Yeah.

[00:01:29] I don't see any today.

[00:01:30] Yeah, we're good.

[00:01:31] There's probably some mice down here for sure.

[00:01:33] That's okay.

[00:01:33] But I don't hear them currently, so this is good.

[00:01:36] This house was a good investment.

[00:01:38] It's okay.

[00:01:38] We're right next to St. John's Church, so there's probably a wasp down the block somewhere.

[00:01:42] Oh, nice.

[00:01:43] Hey.

[00:01:44] Different kind of wasp.

[00:01:45] I get it.

[00:01:46] All right.

[00:01:46] Having fun with the whites.

[00:01:47] He made that joke last week.

[00:01:48] Dan, Dan, Dan.

[00:01:49] It was a few episodes ago.

[00:01:52] Charlie's got like pulling out receipts.

[00:01:54] Actually Brad, you made that joke three weeks ago.

[00:01:55] That's because all he does is listen to our podcast.

[00:01:57] You're welcome.

[00:01:57] Which is a great thing.

[00:01:59] Why would you make fun of him?

[00:02:01] Literally our only listener.

[00:02:01] Hey, listen, look.

[00:02:02] If all you do is listen to this podcast, just fuck off, okay?

[00:02:04] Oh my God.

[00:02:04] No, it's just Charlie.

[00:02:06] No.

[00:02:06] Listeners, we're recording this at nine o'clock in the morning.

[00:02:09] Yeah, we're not morning recorders normally, but we-

[00:02:12] I'm happy this morning.

[00:02:13] We wanted to get this one out before the Thanksgiving holiday to give you something for your ear holes.

[00:02:19] It's not so much that we wanted to as much as we needed to because we couldn't record

[00:02:22] the normal time because Ben is not the master of his schedule.

[00:02:25] And then forget, what happened on Sunday?

[00:02:27] I was in Chicago.

[00:02:29] Mm-hmm.

[00:02:29] And what happened on Monday?

[00:02:30] I had a screening.

[00:02:31] And then what happened on Tuesday?

[00:02:32] I had a screening.

[00:02:33] Yeah, so it sounds like you are the problem.

[00:02:35] Why didn't we record last week?

[00:02:36] Because I was in Orlando.

[00:02:38] No, that's not why.

[00:02:39] Yeah.

[00:02:39] You weren't in Orlando yet.

[00:02:40] We'll notice that I have not been the central part of any of those things.

[00:02:44] Yeah, Nate, you're never the problem.

[00:02:45] I know.

[00:02:45] You know what you are?

[00:02:46] You're the answer.

[00:02:47] Stop.

[00:02:49] So let's just get right into it.

[00:02:51] It's nine o'clock in the morning, Brad.

[00:02:52] Please tell me you've got something with caffeine in it as far as a sponsor.

[00:02:55] Hey, guess what?

[00:02:56] No, I don't.

[00:02:57] You didn't bring anything, did you?

[00:02:57] Oh, no, I definitely didn't.

[00:02:58] Oh, boy.

[00:02:59] Yeah, so fuck you.

[00:03:00] I have a delicious morning treat.

[00:03:03] He's more cranky than normal.

[00:03:05] And that's saying something.

[00:03:05] Trust me, I'm not cranky at all.

[00:03:07] I'm excited because I'm here and I'm gonna get you hard.

[00:03:09] What the fuck?

[00:03:11] Good morning to me.

[00:03:12] That's a weird segue, but you know what?

[00:03:15] I'll allow it.

[00:03:15] I'm gonna get you hard with treats.

[00:03:17] That doesn't sound any better.

[00:03:19] That tends to do it.

[00:03:19] Mouth treats.

[00:03:20] Even worse.

[00:03:23] Your name's Giggle.

[00:03:26] Alright, here we go.

[00:03:27] Got a treat?

[00:03:27] Oh, boy.

[00:03:28] Got a treat?

[00:03:29] Got a treat?

[00:03:30] You could've just handed it to me.

[00:03:31] Nope.

[00:03:31] These are toss treats.

[00:03:34] Don't look at the label, you asshole.

[00:03:36] Why would you do that?

[00:03:37] Just put it in your mouth.

[00:03:40] I'm doing ASMR.

[00:03:42] Don't do ASMR.

[00:03:43] This is not an ASMR podcast.

[00:03:44] And it's time to eat some.

[00:03:46] Dude, was this in your pocket?

[00:03:47] It's very like...

[00:03:48] Yeah, this is like...

[00:03:49] You saw me grab it right there.

[00:03:51] They're meant to be soft.

[00:03:52] They're truffles, you dumb shit.

[00:03:53] Did you have this in your coat pocket?

[00:03:56] Actually, can I just record the rest of the podcast?

[00:03:58] What do you say?

[00:04:00] It's better than your normal voice.

[00:04:01] This is Ben Connock, and welcome to the podcast.

[00:04:04] These are sugar cookies.

[00:04:06] They're not actually.

[00:04:07] But a good guess.

[00:04:09] I'm sorry.

[00:04:10] This is disgusting.

[00:04:11] Quit chewing it.

[00:04:12] You're chewing it like it's disgusting.

[00:04:14] You know what else is disgusting?

[00:04:16] Your face.

[00:04:19] You guys like that noise?

[00:04:20] I'm not upset about it.

[00:04:21] No.

[00:04:22] I don't like any noises other than human talking.

[00:04:24] What do you guys think about this?

[00:04:25] It's whatever.

[00:04:26] Don't like them.

[00:04:26] Don't like them.

[00:04:27] You really don't?

[00:04:28] No.

[00:04:28] How come?

[00:04:29] One and I'm good.

[00:04:30] Exactly.

[00:04:31] I don't hate myself right now.

[00:04:33] I never want to have that again.

[00:04:35] I never want to have that again.

[00:04:37] On a basic level, they're Lindt chocolate truffles.

[00:04:41] Which I do like Lindt chocolate truffles.

[00:04:43] Yeah.

[00:04:43] I usually don't want more than one, I don't think, right?

[00:04:46] Give me a mint Lindt.

[00:04:47] They're very rich.

[00:04:48] And I'm happy.

[00:04:49] I do love the mint Lindt with cookie crumble too.

[00:04:51] Give me a mint Lindt.

[00:04:52] I can have a couple of those.

[00:04:53] That's fair.

[00:04:54] So these are a new flavor.

[00:04:55] But yeah, they are rich.

[00:04:56] New flavor just came out.

[00:04:56] These are cinnamon roll Lindt truffles.

[00:04:59] Oh, I didn't get the cinnamon roll.

[00:05:00] Cinnamon swirl.

[00:05:01] So it's meant to replicate the taste of like...

[00:05:06] Something with cinnamon?

[00:05:07] A cinnamon roll that has cream cheese frosting on it.

[00:05:09] You can taste the cream cheese frosting.

[00:05:10] Yeah, that's what I was getting.

[00:05:11] And it's more prominent than the cinnamon.

[00:05:13] Yep.

[00:05:14] I think the snickerdoodle one that they have has a more prominent cinnamon flavor.

[00:05:17] I don't think you can say that on the air.

[00:05:19] Do you guys prefer a snickerdoodle over a chocolate chip cookie?

[00:05:22] Yes.

[00:05:22] No, definitely not.

[00:05:23] I'm with you, Charlie.

[00:05:24] No.

[00:05:25] Ben.

[00:05:25] I like a chocolate chip cookie.

[00:05:26] Yeah, chocolate chip cookie.

[00:05:27] You ready for the hot take?

[00:05:28] Yeah.

[00:05:29] Oatmeal raisin over chocolate chip.

[00:05:30] Oh, get the fuck out of here.

[00:05:32] Oh, that's Charlie's last time on the podcast.

[00:05:34] Now we're talking about oatmeal chocolate chip.

[00:05:36] Bring it around all day.

[00:05:37] Bring it around all day.

[00:05:38] Do you prefer the oatmeal chocolate chip over the regular chocolate chip?

[00:05:40] It depends.

[00:05:41] Sometimes I'm just in the mood for an oatmeal chocolate chip, but...

[00:05:44] How about an oops all chocolate where you just eat the Hershey's chocolate chip?

[00:05:47] There's actually chunks like the cookie in there.

[00:05:49] The Nestle morsels?

[00:05:50] Just a bag of Nestle and chocolate chips?

[00:05:52] I wouldn't be mad about it.

[00:05:53] That's what I do.

[00:05:54] Yeah.

[00:05:54] That makes sense.

[00:05:56] But yeah, so these are...

[00:05:57] This is a new flavor.

[00:05:58] It's out now.

[00:05:59] I found it at Target.

[00:06:00] It's probably the easiest place to find it, but it should be everywhere, I think.

[00:06:02] Do you guys know anyone that's ever gotten salmonella from eating cookie dough?

[00:06:06] Or was that just something my mom told me?

[00:06:09] No, you can, but it takes a lot to do it.

[00:06:11] I never heard of that.

[00:06:12] Yeah, I've never...

[00:06:13] I just feel like that's an old wives tale.

[00:06:15] Yeah, my mom was like, don't do it.

[00:06:17] I love cookie dough.

[00:06:18] My mom's like, I'm going to the casino.

[00:06:21] My mom's like, I'm going to die.

[00:06:26] I've eaten raw chicken and I didn't get salmonella.

[00:06:28] Okay, well don't do that.

[00:06:29] What?

[00:06:30] Don't do that.

[00:06:31] To be fair, it was a new Lay's flavor.

[00:06:33] You had to try it.

[00:06:34] Have you guys had the new Lay's raw chicken?

[00:06:37] Raw chicken?

[00:06:37] They got ridges, so it's good for dipping.

[00:06:39] Yeah.

[00:06:40] It's the only Lay's bag you open and just wet inside.

[00:06:43] Yeah.

[00:06:43] It like splashes you as soon as you open it.

[00:06:47] To be fair, most of the bags that have Lay's that Brad open are wet inside.

[00:06:51] I don't know, can you do the logic so I can follow why that makes sense?

[00:06:55] That it's wet?

[00:06:56] Yeah.

[00:06:56] Because raw chicken on the counter is wet.

[00:06:59] No, no.

[00:06:59] He's saying most of the bags of chips that I open are wet.

[00:07:01] Because you fuck them.

[00:07:02] You put a hole in it and you fuck them.

[00:07:04] Okay, let's go back to the history of the podcast.

[00:07:06] When have I ever fucked a bag of chips?

[00:07:09] I rest my case.

[00:07:10] I mean, three weeks.

[00:07:11] I'm trying to decide is it three or four weeks ago, right?

[00:07:13] That's like, you know, Charlie's one of your seats.

[00:07:15] Objection.

[00:07:16] That's conjecture.

[00:07:16] I don't know what those words are.

[00:07:18] Makes sense.

[00:07:19] Bang on you.

[00:07:21] Bang yourself.

[00:07:21] Yeah.

[00:07:22] You bang you.

[00:07:24] Bang you.

[00:07:24] Bangerang.

[00:07:25] Batarang.

[00:07:26] I love batarangs.

[00:07:27] What are we doing?

[00:07:27] What the fuck is this podcast now?

[00:07:28] Word association.

[00:07:29] Welcome to Morning Go Flix Your Suit.

[00:07:31] Not fun.

[00:07:32] Morning M-O-U-R-N.

[00:07:34] Yes.

[00:07:34] Yes.

[00:07:35] Hey, welcome to Weenie and the Butt.

[00:07:37] Weenie and the Butt.

[00:07:38] Weenie and the Butt.

[00:07:39] Weenie and the Butt.

[00:07:41] Weenie and the Butt.

[00:07:42] You were on the radio this morning.

[00:07:44] I was.

[00:07:44] With Weenie and the Butt.

[00:07:45] Yeah.

[00:07:46] How's Weenie?

[00:07:47] How's the Butt?

[00:07:48] Good.

[00:07:49] You know, it's a radio station I used to work at.

[00:07:52] And so it was fun to be back.

[00:07:54] But I'm pretty sure somebody there had COVID they said.

[00:07:57] So we'll see how that goes for me.

[00:07:58] Well, thanks for coming over, Nate.

[00:08:01] I'm getting over it.

[00:08:02] You're fine.

[00:08:02] You're getting over the flu, you said.

[00:08:04] Yeah.

[00:08:04] Are you lying to keep us in the dark?

[00:08:07] No.

[00:08:07] It's whatever.

[00:08:08] It's not even real.

[00:08:10] You know, Ben has asked me to get him sick.

[00:08:13] And yeah, I was like, dude, I just I would love to sleep through the holidays.

[00:08:15] So bring it on.

[00:08:16] You're going to do that anyway.

[00:08:19] Guzzle, guzzle, guzzle.

[00:08:23] So this night will kick in.

[00:08:25] Where's Ben?

[00:08:25] He's taking his old Jackie D nap.

[00:08:28] Jackie D.

[00:08:32] Oh, you know how they leave a leave a bottle of Jack out for Ben and the kids will get great

[00:08:36] presents really crappily wrapped.

[00:08:39] I just thought you should put it in a be wrapped toy like this.

[00:08:44] Why is mine smelling bourbon?

[00:08:46] Don't worry.

[00:08:46] I spill a little bit.

[00:08:47] There is a night before Ben Conowitz Christmas.

[00:08:51] The night before.

[00:08:52] That's a nightmare.

[00:08:52] Nightmare before Ben Conowitz Christmas.

[00:08:54] You don't remember that?

[00:08:54] I do remember that.

[00:08:55] Yeah.

[00:08:55] But you did.

[00:08:56] You had the Jack Daniels.

[00:08:58] I had the Jack Daniels.

[00:08:59] You had it in the in the in your story.

[00:09:01] I did.

[00:09:02] Yeah.

[00:09:02] You have a bottle of Jack out.

[00:09:03] Yeah.

[00:09:04] Nate, what's the last movie you saw, buddy?

[00:09:07] I don't know.

[00:09:10] Good morning, America.

[00:09:12] I don't know.

[00:09:12] I saw a couple movies, actually.

[00:09:15] I'm going to share three of them with you.

[00:09:17] I love to hear it.

[00:09:19] So it is Christmas season and there are a lot of Christmas movies coming out right now.

[00:09:24] But I saw a couple of them.

[00:09:26] Good.

[00:09:27] But one I didn't.

[00:09:28] Okay.

[00:09:30] This is every story that Ender, my eight year old, has told me.

[00:09:34] I saw two movies, but one I didn't.

[00:09:36] I had there.

[00:09:37] There was three Lego sets and I had two, but I didn't have one.

[00:09:41] That's exactly how he talked.

[00:09:43] What are you doing right now?

[00:09:44] One of these films was not a Christmas film.

[00:09:46] It was called a...

[00:09:48] That was just turning into a fucking guessing game.

[00:09:51] And what was it?

[00:09:54] I know what it was because it was a New Year's film.

[00:09:57] No, he watched two Christmas films and Das Boot.

[00:10:00] What was it?

[00:10:01] What?

[00:10:02] What was it?

[00:10:02] Do you want me to say it?

[00:10:03] Yeah.

[00:10:04] Nate and I went to see Y2K last week.

[00:10:07] That wasn't even the movie I was seeing.

[00:10:08] What?

[00:10:10] What the fuck?

[00:10:11] I knew as soon as you did it, Brad, I looked over and Nate was like glossing over like,

[00:10:16] oh yeah, we did see that one too.

[00:10:17] I do remember that.

[00:10:18] Yeah, I do remember that.

[00:10:19] We went to Chicago on a date.

[00:10:21] Holy shit.

[00:10:21] We had a great time too.

[00:10:22] We did.

[00:10:22] They did an early screening of Y2K and Kyle Mooney, the director and former star of

[00:10:28] Saturday Night Live was there.

[00:10:29] He also was in the movie.

[00:10:30] Can we just say real quickly though that Nate forgot about it?

[00:10:33] It was a busy day.

[00:10:34] He wasn't even talking about that.

[00:10:36] No, he wasn't.

[00:10:37] What movie were you actually talking about?

[00:10:38] I'm going to talk about that because I do want to talk about this because I have actually

[00:10:41] been talking about this.

[00:10:42] This is a movie that's coming out on December 6th.

[00:10:43] It is a horror comedy that kind of has the vibe of like a Gremlins or a Small Soldiers

[00:10:48] or a Maximum Overdrive.

[00:10:52] Oh yeah.

[00:10:53] Yeah, sure.

[00:10:54] No, we talked about this.

[00:10:55] I can't wait for people to see this film.

[00:10:57] It's so much fun.

[00:10:58] It's really funny.

[00:10:59] There's great practical effects in it.

[00:11:01] If you can go and sit by Brad, you'll even enjoy it even more because you get a contact

[00:11:06] high.

[00:11:06] No, he just is giggling and his laughing was so much fun.

[00:11:10] We're not going to become this reefer ranger where I'm just smoking weed on him.

[00:11:12] I do edibles every now and then.

[00:11:15] Like every other American.

[00:11:17] Like seven shows in a row.

[00:11:18] You're like, did you have another?

[00:11:20] Oh, sorry.

[00:11:20] I like to have a good time.

[00:11:21] He's like, oh yeah, yeah.

[00:11:22] I wrote an hour and a half.

[00:11:24] All right, cool.

[00:11:26] It is my favorite thing though because Brad doesn't do edibles that often honestly on

[00:11:31] the episodes.

[00:11:31] But when he does and he doesn't tell us and we get about an hour in and he gets his permanent

[00:11:37] smile.

[00:11:38] It's a real treat.

[00:11:39] It's a real treat.

[00:11:39] Did you do edibles?

[00:11:40] He's like, yeah.

[00:11:42] It's always too like we're getting into like trailer talk.

[00:11:46] And so he will just be on his own little tip.

[00:11:49] Like he's not even mad that I can't come up with a trailer song.

[00:11:51] He's just sitting there waiting.

[00:11:52] And I'm like, why is he not mad?

[00:11:53] And I look over and he's got this like, dude, like he's a perma smile.

[00:11:56] Yeah.

[00:11:57] It's also just a giggle.

[00:11:59] He's a little giggle boy.

[00:12:00] What is going on here?

[00:12:01] Oh, just after high school, Brad and I used to smoke pot and we would play try not to

[00:12:06] smile.

[00:12:06] See, reefer boy.

[00:12:07] Yep.

[00:12:07] Try not to smile.

[00:12:08] So what I'm hearing is this is a decades long issue.

[00:12:11] Yeah.

[00:12:12] No, you got a problem.

[00:12:13] Well, my bigger problem is heroin.

[00:12:15] Now, look at you.

[00:12:16] No, it's not.

[00:12:17] That's true.

[00:12:18] Are you sure it's not meth?

[00:12:20] No, it's diabetes.

[00:12:22] That's what Tom Segura's got a good bit about that where he goes to the doctor.

[00:12:25] He's like, well, you're you're whatever's are off the charts.

[00:12:29] We normally only see that with people do cocaine.

[00:12:31] He goes, hey, is cocaine something where people lose weight?

[00:12:35] Oh, yeah.

[00:12:36] Never mind.

[00:12:37] So why two K?

[00:12:39] Yeah.

[00:12:39] Yeah.

[00:12:39] So much fun.

[00:12:41] Yes.

[00:12:41] This film.

[00:12:42] I hope I hope it like gets the audience and a.

[00:12:48] So when you go into this film, you have to suspend some things.

[00:12:51] This is a film made today that should have been released in the late 90s.

[00:12:55] Yeah.

[00:12:56] And so not every effect is perfect, but it's but it's intentionally.

[00:12:59] Yeah, exactly.

[00:13:00] And it's and it's absurd kind of humor too.

[00:13:02] That almost sounds like you like you were disparaging the film.

[00:13:05] No, I'm not.

[00:13:06] But I see.

[00:13:07] This is what I'm afraid of is I'm afraid those are going to be critics that are are harsh

[00:13:12] on this film because they don't get Kyle Mooney and they don't get what this film is trying

[00:13:17] to do.

[00:13:17] I think that they'll I think it'll be the more so the former than the latter because

[00:13:21] I don't know.

[00:13:22] Critics are pretty stupid because the movie the movie does lean into like the that certain

[00:13:27] the five movies like a Max Movedriver Gremlins.

[00:13:29] Yeah, but I think that there are some people who don't fully appreciate common

[00:13:32] his brand of humor.

[00:13:33] I think that's where the disconnect might end up being and as SNL fans like we are.

[00:13:37] It does have a little bit of there's elements there where you see Kyle Mooney Kyle Mooney's

[00:13:42] humor from SNL coming out in just different ways.

[00:13:45] Yeah, absurdist kind of impulses there.

[00:13:48] Do you think that Kyle Mooney and Tim Robinson together would be too much?

[00:13:53] Is that like a hat on a hat or do you think that they would go to a little forte in there

[00:13:57] too?

[00:13:57] I mean, Jesus, right?

[00:13:58] Do the old timers, right?

[00:14:00] No, I think that they would probably do something pretty great.

[00:14:02] Yeah, I would love to see that.

[00:14:04] But there this Hollywood get it done when I met Kyle Mooney column.

[00:14:09] That's true.

[00:14:09] I got a number and call Mooney.

[00:14:11] I am.

[00:14:13] Let me say this.

[00:14:14] We got a picture.

[00:14:14] I am significantly taller than Kyle.

[00:14:17] You're significantly taller than ninety nine percent.

[00:14:19] I know, but it really made me feel like a giant in this picture.

[00:14:22] Yeah, it was funny when I cropping it to be like the way it was around us were like Kyle's

[00:14:26] in the middle and we're both taller than him.

[00:14:28] And I was close to the bottom of the frame.

[00:14:30] Did it look like that one shot of like Andre the Giant, Wilt Chamberlain and Arnold Schwarzenegger

[00:14:35] from Conan?

[00:14:36] Yeah, a little bit.

[00:14:36] It's just tiny compared to them.

[00:14:38] That's awesome.

[00:14:39] But we got to go to this show where he and what's the other?

[00:14:43] Evan Winter, the co-writer and producer.

[00:14:45] Let me complain about this, listeners.

[00:14:47] Uh oh.

[00:14:47] Here comes a Brad-ism.

[00:14:49] If you are going to have a Q and A.

[00:14:50] Is that about the movie?

[00:14:51] If you're going to have a Q and A.

[00:14:53] Oh.

[00:14:53] With the directors.

[00:14:54] Get the audio right.

[00:14:55] That Brad and I are stoked for.

[00:14:58] We're just very excited about this because not only are we fans of this film after seeing

[00:15:02] it, and we were excited.

[00:15:03] We actually talked about it on the show.

[00:15:04] Sure.

[00:15:04] We're excited to see it.

[00:15:05] But also, we're fans of Kyle Mooney and SNL.

[00:15:08] Of course.

[00:15:08] Yeah, right.

[00:15:08] So we had so many different things coming together to this film.

[00:15:13] And the sound quality for the microphones on this interview.

[00:15:17] They had a reverb only on Kyle and Evans, and the host was fine.

[00:15:22] And so every time Kyle said something, it was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:15:25] That's what we did.

[00:15:27] It was like being in a baseball game.

[00:15:28] Now, we're saying this.

[00:15:29] It was awful.

[00:15:30] And we have a Q and A coming up with the cast of Prancer on December 15th.

[00:15:34] And we need to be there at 6 a.m.

[00:15:37] And we just need to do the audio the whole time and never turn it off.

[00:15:40] It did remind me to make sure that we have to.

[00:15:42] I love the Civic Auditorium.

[00:15:43] We're not going to combat the reverb at the Civic.

[00:15:45] No, but this was.

[00:15:47] They've updated the audio and everything like that.

[00:15:49] And evidently, if you use their system the way they've got it set up, it's fine.

[00:15:52] But I was just at a Park Foundation thing, and they didn't use the Civic stuff.

[00:15:57] And my God, I'm not joking.

[00:15:59] And it's a very important.

[00:16:00] It's the only important speech that the guy is giving.

[00:16:02] And he's like, hey, you were coming.

[00:16:04] It went money to the one of the we love about.

[00:16:10] And it went on for three minutes.

[00:16:12] And like nobody like I was awkward enough.

[00:16:14] I was in the back of the room and I started walking.

[00:16:16] The speech sucks.

[00:16:18] No one cannot.

[00:16:19] What is it?

[00:16:22] Oh, it's so frustrating.

[00:16:24] So anyway, yeah, that was a frustrating element about this.

[00:16:27] But see this film when it comes out.

[00:16:29] It comes out maybe December 6.

[00:16:31] What's the venue that we can call out on this then?

[00:16:33] Who sucked?

[00:16:34] I think it's just whoever they hired to do the sound for the event.

[00:16:38] The guy was trying to fix it.

[00:16:39] And then they brought in someone else who they thought might be able to help him.

[00:16:42] And they kept messing with the computer, but nothing changed.

[00:16:44] And for some reason, the host didn't think, oh, I should pass my mic along.

[00:16:48] Right.

[00:16:48] But it was so frustrating.

[00:16:50] And Kyle Mooney was so much fun to listen to, especially serious Kyle Mooney.

[00:16:55] Right.

[00:16:55] Yeah.

[00:16:55] So he's talking about the film itself and how much fun they had making it.

[00:16:59] But the performances are great.

[00:17:00] It is just such a fun film.

[00:17:03] It is.

[00:17:03] Dead to my dead, dead, dead.

[00:17:05] My, my, my, my.

[00:17:07] So again, CY2K when it comes out.

[00:17:10] All right.

[00:17:10] What's the movie you were intending to talk about?

[00:17:12] Okay.

[00:17:13] The movie I was intending to talk about is a film called Your Monster.

[00:17:17] Oh, okay.

[00:17:17] Have you seen this?

[00:17:18] I haven't watched it yet, no.

[00:17:19] Yeah.

[00:17:19] This is a 2024 film starring Melissa Barrera and Tommy Dewey.

[00:17:24] Mm-hmm.

[00:17:25] I love Tommy Dewey.

[00:17:27] Yeah.

[00:17:27] He is fantastic in this film.

[00:17:29] We praised Tommy Dewey when we did our episode about the Saturday Night movie because

[00:17:33] he plays Michael O'Donohue in that movie.

[00:17:35] Yep.

[00:17:35] And so this, this film is really interesting.

[00:17:38] It's really kind of a, an interesting take on psychology and a fun take on someone's,

[00:17:49] almost like an imaginary friend.

[00:17:51] Mm-hmm.

[00:17:51] Right?

[00:17:51] And so I don't want to give too much away because you need to watch the film and if I

[00:17:56] give too much, you're going to, it's going to kind of ruin some of it.

[00:17:58] But I had never even heard of this film.

[00:18:01] I was looking for films to watch.

[00:18:03] I saw this.

[00:18:04] I'm like, you know.

[00:18:05] You rented it?

[00:18:06] I did.

[00:18:06] Yeah.

[00:18:06] I saw this.

[00:18:07] I'm like, I watched the trailer.

[00:18:08] I'm like, this looks really interesting.

[00:18:10] Have you even heard of this or not?

[00:18:11] I had heard about it because I got like the emails through the press thing and I was like,

[00:18:15] oh, that seems like it could be interesting, but I didn't go beyond to like to watch it

[00:18:18] or anything.

[00:18:19] Yeah.

[00:18:19] Melissa Barrera is really good.

[00:18:22] And like I said, Tommy Dewey, to give you a hint, looks like almost like Beast from Beauty

[00:18:28] and the Beast in this film.

[00:18:29] Right?

[00:18:29] Oh.

[00:18:30] Where he is the monster.

[00:18:32] Okay.

[00:18:33] And the whole thing is a conversation with a monster that is in Melissa Barrera's house.

[00:18:42] Okay.

[00:18:42] And so elements of it, there's these kind of horror elements, but they're not really.

[00:18:48] But also it's these like Melissa Barrera trying to make peace with herself, these kind

[00:18:52] of things.

[00:18:53] And so the monster plays this role in her life, but really, really fascinating.

[00:18:57] Love this film.

[00:18:58] It's funny.

[00:18:59] It's heartwarming.

[00:19:00] Okay.

[00:19:00] If you get a chance to see it.

[00:19:01] I think it's Christmas themed.

[00:19:04] No.

[00:19:04] Oh, no.

[00:19:05] This is the one that's not.

[00:19:06] Sorry.

[00:19:06] What were the other two that you watched?

[00:19:08] I saw two pretty terrible films.

[00:19:09] Oh.

[00:19:10] Called The Merry Gentleman.

[00:19:12] Have you seen that one yet?

[00:19:13] No, but someone mentioned it in the Slack from Slack the other day and I don't remember

[00:19:16] where the conversation went about it.

[00:19:18] Was it The Merry Gentleman was bad?

[00:19:21] I mean, can anything be bad with Chad Michael Murray?

[00:19:24] Yes.

[00:19:25] Yes.

[00:19:26] Okay, then yes.

[00:19:28] I like that Nate took that as a newscaster being interrupted.

[00:19:32] Like I'm getting, and yes, it could be bad.

[00:19:35] And Britt Robertson.

[00:19:36] I like Britt Robertson.

[00:19:37] I do too.

[00:19:38] And I never can figure out why she doesn't get anything.

[00:19:41] Like now she seems to be kind of the Candace Cameron of Netflix.

[00:19:45] Yeah, I think that maybe what happened is maybe people think that she's discount Jennifer

[00:19:51] Lawrence and I think that that might be where the problem is.

[00:19:54] Not, and I don't mean that in an insulting way, but I think that like.

[00:19:57] I was gonna say, is she now your number two that you would like to marry?

[00:20:00] No, it's just like I think that she has a very similar look and she has a very similar

[00:20:04] appeal as far as like the kind of performance that she gives.

[00:20:06] And part of me wonders if because Jennifer Lawrence is big that people just like they don't,

[00:20:10] you know, not necessarily.

[00:20:11] Brett's discounted Jennifer Lawrence means like, she's approachable.

[00:20:14] Yeah.

[00:20:14] I could ask her now.

[00:20:15] So this film is.

[00:20:16] I would.

[00:20:17] Essentially.

[00:20:18] I would too.

[00:20:18] Sorry, actually.

[00:20:19] Magic Mike Christmas.

[00:20:21] Oh, back in.

[00:20:24] Wait, why did we both get really turned on excited?

[00:20:27] You guys got really excited.

[00:20:28] That was very telling.

[00:20:29] Oh, it's like Magic Mike Christmas.

[00:20:31] What's this now?

[00:20:33] Magic Mike triple X.

[00:20:34] Go to bed kids.

[00:20:36] What am I doing?

[00:20:38] What?

[00:20:39] Channing Tate yum.

[00:20:41] Matthew McConaughey now.

[00:20:43] Here we go.

[00:20:45] So, so it's about Britt Robertson is a, the daughter of a, she comes back.

[00:20:51] So she like is in New York trying to make it on Broadway or something.

[00:20:57] Of course.

[00:20:57] Like, yeah, exactly.

[00:20:58] Comes home.

[00:20:59] Her parents are going to lose the bar.

[00:21:01] Right.

[00:21:01] They're going to lose the bar.

[00:21:02] Yeah.

[00:21:02] Of course they're going to.

[00:21:03] Yeah.

[00:21:03] Yeah.

[00:21:03] She's got to figure out a way to not lose the bar.

[00:21:05] But guess what?

[00:21:06] What?

[00:21:07] There's a new guy.

[00:21:07] There's a new guy.

[00:21:08] Uh huh.

[00:21:09] Okay.

[00:21:09] A guy moves to town.

[00:21:10] She doesn't know this guy.

[00:21:11] Yeah.

[00:21:11] He knows it's a small town.

[00:21:12] Yeah.

[00:21:12] Everybody knows everybody.

[00:21:13] And he moves to town and she meets this guy and, and what is this guy?

[00:21:18] He's kind of brooding.

[00:21:19] Chad Michael Murray.

[00:21:20] Of course.

[00:21:21] And.

[00:21:22] This was a Hallmark movie?

[00:21:23] No, it's on Netflix.

[00:21:24] No, it's a Netflix movie.

[00:21:26] And so, um, and so she meets this guy and then they're going to close the bar out

[00:21:30] and she gets an idea.

[00:21:31] What's the, oh, what's the idea?

[00:21:32] Britt Robertson's the idea person of this.

[00:21:34] I'm going to fuck this guy.

[00:21:35] No, no, no.

[00:21:35] That's the end of the movie.

[00:21:37] Oh.

[00:21:37] What's the idea to save the bar?

[00:21:39] We're going to do like a men's, like, like Chip and Dale's thing.

[00:21:42] Oh, like Coyote Ugly.

[00:21:43] Like a male review.

[00:21:44] Yeah, exactly.

[00:21:46] And the reviews are in and it's XXL.

[00:21:48] And guess what?

[00:21:49] It worked.

[00:21:50] It worked.

[00:21:50] It worked.

[00:22:18] It worked.

[00:22:18] Of course.

[00:22:19] It worked.

[00:22:19] It worked.

[00:22:22] It worked.

[00:22:23] I've been here for you.

[00:22:23] Thank you.

[00:22:24] Well, you know, you know, how much we love talking about intercourse.

[00:22:27] Well, especially very, very close up shots where the movie pans and it's only the intersection

[00:22:32] of the penis and vagina.

[00:22:33] Yeah.

[00:22:34] And like the beginning of the...

[00:22:35] The curtain's wall thing and the camera just keeps zooming.

[00:22:37] It's literally, the movie starts going...

[00:22:41] Like, I want to see like the blemishes, you know?

[00:22:43] I want to see like...

[00:22:45] The ingrown hairs.

[00:22:46] Yeah, or like the five o'clock shadow

[00:22:48] when they've just shaved a couple days previously.

[00:22:50] Okay, so you guys are focused on that.

[00:22:51] Nate and I are focused on the small town charm

[00:22:53] of saving the bar.

[00:22:56] And here's the problem.

[00:22:57] This was another element, a layer to this film

[00:22:59] that you guys, I forgot to include.

[00:23:01] In the beginning...

[00:23:02] I can't do it.

[00:23:03] I can't do it.

[00:23:04] I can't do it.

[00:23:05] I can't do it.

[00:23:06] In the beginning, she's been trying to make it

[00:23:10] and she's in this Christmas show.

[00:23:13] And the director of this Christmas show

[00:23:16] tells her, you've aged out.

[00:23:19] And so she feels like maybe her dream isn't real anymore.

[00:23:23] How old is Britt Robertson now?

[00:23:26] 76 years old.

[00:23:28] Maybe 30.

[00:23:29] Yeah, aged out.

[00:23:30] That's Hollywood for you.

[00:23:32] But guess what?

[00:23:33] Guess what, guys?

[00:23:33] Go on.

[00:23:34] She hasn't.

[00:23:35] She got a call while she was back at home.

[00:23:37] They need her in New York.

[00:23:39] Oh, so she has this decision to make.

[00:23:42] Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

[00:23:43] They need her back in New York.

[00:23:44] Does she do it?

[00:23:46] Does she do it?

[00:23:47] Only time will tell.

[00:23:48] You'll have to watch the movie.

[00:23:50] You'll have to watch the film.

[00:23:51] All right.

[00:23:52] And then there was another one.

[00:23:53] But you said it wasn't good, right?

[00:23:55] I mean, none of those are good.

[00:23:56] You just watch it because it's the holidays.

[00:23:58] No, thanks.

[00:23:58] Yeah, see, I don't subscribe to that mentality.

[00:24:01] Just because it's the holidays.

[00:24:01] You know how you just watch them because you have to?

[00:24:03] I've never watched a single Hallmark movie.

[00:24:07] Oh, you're missing out.

[00:24:07] No.

[00:24:07] And I'm not going to watch this Netflix movie either.

[00:24:10] Have you watched any Netflix Christmas movie?

[00:24:12] Like, you know, they've gotten into the Christmas Chronicles.

[00:24:15] I haven't watched that yet, actually.

[00:24:16] Not because I don't want to.

[00:24:17] I just haven't gotten into it.

[00:24:18] I actually heard the first one's pretty good.

[00:24:19] I have heard the first one's good.

[00:24:20] It's not bad.

[00:24:21] Klaus is a great Christmas movie.

[00:24:23] Klaus is a great Christmas movie.

[00:24:24] Klaus is a great film.

[00:24:26] Yes.

[00:24:26] I love Klaus.

[00:24:27] Great animated film.

[00:24:28] What else did you watch, Nate?

[00:24:29] The other one was Confessions of a Christmas Letter.

[00:24:33] Oh, for fuck's sake.

[00:24:34] Okay.

[00:24:35] Charlie, what's the last movie you saw, buddy?

[00:24:37] Now, to be fair, hold on.

[00:24:38] It's called Close-Up Intercourse.

[00:24:38] Hold on.

[00:24:39] I want to say, this one does sound kind of sexy.

[00:24:43] This one has Angela Kinsey in it.

[00:24:45] Who's she?

[00:24:46] She's from The Office.

[00:24:47] From The Office.

[00:24:48] Yeah, the blonde lady.

[00:24:49] She's also.

[00:24:50] Oh, Ben, good job.

[00:24:51] Brian Baumgartner.

[00:24:52] From The Office.

[00:24:53] From The Office.

[00:24:54] He played Toby Keith.

[00:24:55] They're both in this.

[00:24:57] On The Office.

[00:24:58] On The Office.

[00:24:59] This one.

[00:24:59] This was a little more fun.

[00:25:01] Okay.

[00:25:01] Who does he play in The Office?

[00:25:03] Yeah, Kevin.

[00:25:04] Kevin.

[00:25:04] Okay, gotcha.

[00:25:05] It is so hard to watch him in anything and not.

[00:25:07] And not see, yeah.

[00:25:09] Especially when he uses his normal voice.

[00:25:11] Yeah, because what's interesting is.

[00:25:13] Hey guys, it's me.

[00:25:14] I'm a guy from The Office.

[00:25:15] Yeah, pretty much.

[00:25:17] Early on, his normal voice on The Office was more prominent in the early season.

[00:25:23] But then he started playing up, like being dumb.

[00:25:25] And so now when you hear Brian's normal voice, it's like weird.

[00:25:28] Weird.

[00:25:28] Yeah.

[00:25:28] So let me jump in here.

[00:25:29] And I know that I am.

[00:25:32] You guys are going to just not.

[00:25:34] You're going to shit on me for this.

[00:25:35] Because I'm going to bring up TV.

[00:25:38] We don't know.

[00:25:39] Yeah.

[00:25:39] You shit on yourself.

[00:25:42] You're calling me out.

[00:25:43] Oh, that you're a hypocrite?

[00:25:44] No, that's right.

[00:25:45] We need to know that.

[00:25:46] Oh, Cassie.

[00:25:47] I shouldn't have done this.

[00:25:49] But it reminded me of something I was going to bring up where a character is kind of typecast in your mind.

[00:25:55] Yeah.

[00:25:56] So I've been watching Shrinking.

[00:25:59] Are you caught up, Nate?

[00:26:00] I didn't watch last night's episode.

[00:26:02] I watched last night's episode.

[00:26:03] Is it good?

[00:26:04] Don't ruin it.

[00:26:04] I won't ruin it.

[00:26:05] But no, no.

[00:26:07] But I will say, second season, so good.

[00:26:09] Oh, it's incredible.

[00:26:12] Bill Lawrence loves to reuse actors.

[00:26:15] Yep.

[00:26:16] He's got a fraternity that he loves.

[00:26:18] And that's okay.

[00:26:20] Unfortunately, right now in Shrinking, they introduce a character who is from another show that he has.

[00:26:26] Oh, I think he's doing fine.

[00:26:27] No, no.

[00:26:28] And this is the first time you're going to see this character.

[00:26:30] Oh, it's not Roy Kent.

[00:26:32] No, it's not Roy Kent.

[00:26:33] That's fine.

[00:26:33] That's an amazing casting choice.

[00:26:34] He's perfect.

[00:26:36] But the person he brings in is from another show.

[00:26:40] And I'm not going to spoil it.

[00:26:42] Is it One Tree Hill?

[00:26:43] Is it Bluey?

[00:26:44] Is it One Tree Hill?

[00:26:45] Is it Chad Michael Murray?

[00:26:46] But I can't.

[00:26:46] This person is so that person.

[00:26:49] I can't.

[00:26:50] This new role, it's not working for me.

[00:26:52] It's so much there.

[00:26:53] So you don't like the second season now?

[00:26:55] No, no.

[00:26:55] Thank God.

[00:26:56] I think it's just a very bit part.

[00:26:58] But it was, in my opinion, miscast because...

[00:27:00] I'm really curious.

[00:27:01] Oh boy.

[00:27:02] It's like, wow, that person is only that to me.

[00:27:04] So I'm very curious.

[00:27:05] Yeah, I'll watch it tonight.

[00:27:06] So anyway, but I do not...

[00:27:08] I love when there's a universe.

[00:27:10] Kevin Smith has his universe.

[00:27:12] I love seeing characters pop up all over the place.

[00:27:14] He does it pretty well.

[00:27:16] Even like...

[00:27:17] Even the...

[00:27:18] What are you...

[00:27:19] The frat pack?

[00:27:20] Is that what it was with Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell back in the 2000s?

[00:27:25] They would kind of pop up in each other's movies.

[00:27:27] Did Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell ever make a movie together?

[00:27:30] No, you're like...

[00:27:30] Like Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, you know, like...

[00:27:33] Are you talking like Wes Anderson films?

[00:27:35] No, like Old School and Dodgeball.

[00:27:37] Oh, okay.

[00:27:38] They called it the frat pack, I believe.

[00:27:39] It was just a...

[00:27:39] I think that was just a label they gave to the people that were making those movies

[00:27:43] because those movies don't actually exist in the same universe.

[00:27:46] That's what I'm saying, though.

[00:27:47] Like, you see guys pop up in each other's movies.

[00:27:50] Or like Apatow and McKay's movies.

[00:27:52] Exactly, yes.

[00:27:53] And so there was a shared crossover of just actors that they would pull from, right?

[00:27:57] Especially for bit parts cameos, things like that.

[00:27:59] The frat pack are films like Bottle Rocket, The Cable Guy, Bong Water,

[00:28:05] Permanent Midnight, Rushmore.

[00:28:06] Oh, so Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and like some early Wes Anderson stuff.

[00:28:11] So basically exactly what I said.

[00:28:13] You can just say, yeah, you were right.

[00:28:14] Well, he said Will Ferrell, but doesn't really...

[00:28:16] He said Will Ferrell and Owen Wilson.

[00:28:18] Owen Wilson is in The Cable.

[00:28:19] Well, no, Owen Wilson's in all those movies, actually.

[00:28:21] The core of this films, or the core of this, are Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller,

[00:28:27] Vince Vaughn, Owen and Luke Wilson.

[00:28:29] You said Will Ferrell.

[00:28:30] He's right there in the...

[00:28:32] I'm right.

[00:28:33] Yeah, I'm reading it.

[00:28:34] He said Will Ferrell.

[00:28:35] Oh my God, I am...

[00:28:36] I won.

[00:28:38] I won.

[00:28:38] Fuck you.

[00:28:39] I win.

[00:28:40] I don't think that's right.

[00:28:41] I know more about movies than Brad Oman.

[00:28:43] Did you read that from the AI portion of The Surge?

[00:28:46] No, from Wikipedia frat pack.

[00:28:49] Yeah, I'm interested.

[00:28:52] I don't know.

[00:28:52] Anyway, back to movies.

[00:28:54] I do think it is weird that they lump Rushmore or something like that into the quote-unquote

[00:28:58] frat pack because it's so unlike old school and cable guy and whatnot.

[00:29:03] I think they're just throwing in there because early Wes Anderson.

[00:29:05] You included Bottle Rocket there too, which is...

[00:29:07] Yeah, also Wes Anderson.

[00:29:09] It's weird.

[00:29:10] Anyway.

[00:29:11] All right, anyway.

[00:29:12] So I saw that film.

[00:29:13] What'd you guys see?

[00:29:15] Charlie, let's go to you, buddy.

[00:29:16] Last movie I saw was Saturday Night.

[00:29:18] Ooh.

[00:29:19] Oh, so good.

[00:29:19] We don't have to go...

[00:29:20] You guys already did one.

[00:29:21] We've done it, but...

[00:29:22] Actually, let's talk about it for 40 minutes.

[00:29:24] What's your take?

[00:29:25] So as a casual Saturday Night fan...

[00:29:28] Because that's kind of what I was going after.

[00:29:29] Because we're diehards, right?

[00:29:31] Yeah.

[00:29:31] But you see...

[00:29:32] To give the people an idea, when's the last time you saw Saturday Night Live all the

[00:29:36] Oh, I'm current on this season.

[00:29:37] So you do this season, but historically...

[00:29:40] Historically, I don't watch it.

[00:29:41] I'm current on this season because it's season 50.

[00:29:44] Gotcha.

[00:29:44] And I want to be a part of season 50.

[00:29:46] Sure.

[00:29:47] But you're not a historian of that.

[00:29:48] No, no, no, no.

[00:29:49] Brad and I used to watch it a lot in the late 90s, early 2000s.

[00:29:52] A lot of Sherry O'Terry and Will Ferrell.

[00:29:54] Sure.

[00:29:55] Good stuff.

[00:29:56] Yeah.

[00:29:56] Jerry Minor.

[00:30:00] Pretty Luke Null.

[00:30:01] Yeah.

[00:30:01] Moved away from it.

[00:30:03] The movie itself, just as a movie, even if it wasn't about Saturday Night, it's a great

[00:30:08] movie.

[00:30:09] It's the way it causes anxiety, the entire movie, without being painful anxiety.

[00:30:17] So it's approaching uncut gems, safety brothers type stuff, but it never really gets there.

[00:30:22] Did you guys ever watch the show Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip?

[00:30:25] Oh, yeah.

[00:30:25] I love Studio 60.

[00:30:26] I never saw it.

[00:30:27] It felt very much like watching an episode of Studio 60.

[00:30:30] Was that Sorkin?

[00:30:31] Yeah.

[00:30:31] That was Sorkin's movie about a show that was like Saturday Night Live.

[00:30:34] No, it was a show about a show.

[00:30:36] Yes.

[00:30:36] Yes, it was a movie.

[00:30:37] And it came out the same year that 30 Rock did.

[00:30:40] Yes.

[00:30:40] Yes.

[00:30:40] It was like the more serious version.

[00:30:42] Yeah.

[00:30:42] And I wish both of them would have gotten made for multiple seasons.

[00:30:46] I would have liked that, but Studio 60's biggest problem was that-

[00:30:49] Matthew Perry's drugs?

[00:30:50] The writer's strike?

[00:30:51] Jeez, he's dead now.

[00:30:52] Give him a break.

[00:30:53] Thank God.

[00:30:54] Oh my God.

[00:30:54] He can't ruin anything else.

[00:30:57] Matthew Perry's great.

[00:30:58] Not when he was on drugs, man.

[00:31:00] I don't know.

[00:31:00] I think he did some of his best work when he was on drugs.

[00:31:02] I think that's universal.

[00:31:04] I think he did all of his work while he was on drugs.

[00:31:06] Jesus.

[00:31:07] Jesus.

[00:31:07] I don't know why.

[00:31:09] I started off shitting on him a little bit.

[00:31:12] Brad and I are pro-Matthew Perry.

[00:31:14] Yeah.

[00:31:14] All right.

[00:31:15] But Studio 60's biggest problem was that Sorkin didn't really know how to write comedy well.

[00:31:20] Yeah.

[00:31:21] But Saturday Night is genuinely funny, as was 30 Rock, obviously, because that was more

[00:31:25] absurd kind of comedy.

[00:31:26] But yeah.

[00:31:27] But yeah.

[00:31:28] I love the movie.

[00:31:29] It was a lot of fun.

[00:31:30] It caused me and Taylor to go back and watch the first episode of SNL.

[00:31:34] So that's a great point.

[00:31:36] Ashley and I talked about it.

[00:31:38] I should do that.

[00:31:38] I should do that.

[00:31:38] I should do that.

[00:31:50] That is, by the way, as far as what sketch to choose to lead off the first ever, it's

[00:31:57] a crazy great sketch.

[00:31:59] It's absurd, but it's also short.

[00:32:03] Unlike most SNL sketches these days, it has an ending.

[00:32:06] It was just kind of the perfect sketch to show you what that show was going to be.

[00:32:10] No, it was a great movie.

[00:32:12] Yeah.

[00:32:12] Yeah, we absolutely love it.

[00:32:13] You can rent it now, so go see it.

[00:32:14] I watched it on Brad's iTunes.

[00:32:16] What else did you see?

[00:32:18] Most recently, I saw The Fast and the Furious.

[00:32:22] The first one?

[00:32:22] The very first one.

[00:32:23] Where they were stealing CD players.

[00:32:26] Combos.

[00:32:26] Sorry.

[00:32:27] CD, DVD, combos?

[00:32:28] Not even DVD.

[00:32:30] VHS.

[00:32:30] Yeah, DVD, VHS players.

[00:32:31] They were DVD, VHS players.

[00:32:34] I don't remember, but those are a big deal.

[00:32:35] And actually, to be fair, today, they're probably more valuable, so I think that we could probably

[00:32:38] remake it and have the same plot.

[00:32:39] Dude, let's remake Fast and the Furious, and that is now the retro tech that we need

[00:32:46] to steal.

[00:32:47] I love it.

[00:32:47] Yeah, so it was something I turned on in the background while I was working, and it's just

[00:32:51] fun, and I don't even think they say the word family once in it.

[00:32:57] Right.

[00:32:57] So it's just such a departure from what it became.

[00:33:01] Nobody comes in for the sandwiches.

[00:33:02] Yeah, exactly.

[00:33:03] The tropes aren't fully formed yet.

[00:33:05] Yeah, exactly.

[00:33:06] Oh, that's great.

[00:33:07] It did not age well.

[00:33:08] There's a couple of gay slurs in there.

[00:33:13] And then, what are those slurs, man?

[00:33:18] Freak.

[00:33:18] Freak.

[00:33:19] Oh.

[00:33:20] Like P-D-D, Freakoffs.

[00:33:21] Freak it.

[00:33:23] Freakazoid.

[00:33:24] And then continuing on the car theme I watched.

[00:33:29] Cars?

[00:33:30] Gone in 60 Seconds.

[00:33:31] Cars.

[00:33:32] Oh, Memphis Reigns.

[00:33:34] Memphis Reigns.

[00:33:35] Randall Reigns.

[00:33:35] One of the great character names of all time.

[00:33:40] Memphis Reigns.

[00:33:41] I think, and as much as, and Face Off is great, I think Gone in 60 Seconds is my favorite

[00:33:47] Nick Cage movie.

[00:33:48] Favorite Nick Cage performance or just movie?

[00:33:51] Movie.

[00:33:51] Movie.

[00:33:52] Yes.

[00:33:52] That's tough for me.

[00:33:53] I think his best performance is Face Off.

[00:33:57] The Weatherman?

[00:33:57] I think his best performance is probably leaving Las Vegas.

[00:34:00] Yeah.

[00:34:00] Yeah.

[00:34:01] He was incredible.

[00:34:02] Have you seen that, though?

[00:34:02] I have.

[00:34:03] I have.

[00:34:03] But just the way he channeled his Travolta and Face Off, like he had to be-

[00:34:06] That's a-

[00:34:07] I think that's the most fun performance.

[00:34:09] Yeah.

[00:34:09] For sure.

[00:34:10] Like, he's definitely having a good time.

[00:34:11] That's fair.

[00:34:12] I also-

[00:34:13] I love his performance in The Rock, actually.

[00:34:15] Or the unbearable weight.

[00:34:16] Well, that's incredible.

[00:34:18] Yeah.

[00:34:19] He's just-

[00:34:19] He's all over the place.

[00:34:20] He's all over the place, yeah.

[00:34:21] But yeah.

[00:34:21] So watch Gone in 60 seconds.

[00:34:22] Pig.

[00:34:23] Pig is fantastic.

[00:34:24] Have you seen Pig?

[00:34:25] I have not seen Pig.

[00:34:26] I haven't seen Pig.

[00:34:26] You're going to need to see Pig.

[00:34:27] Yeah.

[00:34:28] And I say that by saying I don't ever really push people to watch movies these days.

[00:34:34] Like, you really get-

[00:34:35] But man, it's fucking good.

[00:34:36] Well, you don't even assign movies when you're supposed to.

[00:34:38] Oh, no.

[00:34:38] I don't.

[00:34:39] You should probably push people to see movies.

[00:34:42] What?

[00:34:42] I got to tell you a story.

[00:34:43] I'm not-

[00:34:44] No, I'm not putting my reputation on like, hey, man, you really need to go out of your

[00:34:47] way to see this film.

[00:34:47] Like, I don't do that.

[00:34:48] Hold on.

[00:34:49] If you're telling someone to watch a movie, you really think you're putting your reputation

[00:34:52] on the line?

[00:34:52] Yeah, because if they don't like it, then it's like, it's a reflection on me.

[00:34:55] So I got to reserve it for very good movies.

[00:34:56] What reputation-

[00:34:57] And Pig is a very good movie.

[00:34:58] What reputation are you ruining?

[00:35:00] It's not good to begin with.

[00:35:01] My reputation of like knowing what a good movie is.

[00:35:04] Like I just said, it's not good to begin with.

[00:35:06] Hey, can you weigh in here?

[00:35:07] Is my reputation shit when it comes to giving moves out?

[00:35:10] Like, is it-

[00:35:12] Oh.

[00:35:12] I mean, I mean-

[00:35:13] Oh, no, no.

[00:35:14] No, you said it.

[00:35:14] Charlie-

[00:35:17] I like you.

[00:35:18] You said, you got-

[00:35:18] Whoa, whoa.

[00:35:20] So a couple weeks ago, Brad asked me to come over to the house.

[00:35:22] I am kind of reeling here.

[00:35:25] And on the phone, he asked me, hey, come over.

[00:35:28] We'll take a look at my movies and we'll take a look at the ones you haven't seen yet.

[00:35:30] Oh, how many conversations have started?

[00:35:33] I feel like I stood up too quick.

[00:35:35] And like, I'm like hearing the-

[00:35:36] Yeah, what else is new?

[00:35:37] What?

[00:35:39] So Brad gets them all over to his house.

[00:35:41] What's my reputation?

[00:35:43] We'll talk about it here in a second, actually.

[00:35:45] Okay, Charlie, continue your story.

[00:35:47] So he asked me to come over to the house.

[00:35:48] He goes, hey, we'll take a look at all my movies so we can see what movies you haven't seen.

[00:35:51] And I didn't even think about like what that meant.

[00:35:54] I was like, yeah, sure, I'll come over.

[00:35:55] Well, there's your first mistake right there.

[00:35:57] I mean, you have to listen to my words and accept them at their face value.

[00:36:00] And we're sitting there, we're watching TV, and he's like, what do you want to do?

[00:36:03] I was like, I don't know.

[00:36:03] What do you want to watch?

[00:36:04] He's like, well, you want to take a look at the movies and see what you haven't seen?

[00:36:06] I was like, yeah, about that.

[00:36:07] Why do I need to take a look at the movies I haven't seen yet?

[00:36:11] He goes, oh, just so I can tell you which ones to watch.

[00:36:14] You guys don't watch the assigned movies, so he has now ventured out past the podcast

[00:36:19] and wanted me to make a list of movies I haven't seen so he could also assign them out to me.

[00:36:23] See, this is perfectly brand.

[00:36:25] This is not the first time, though.

[00:36:26] Everyone needs to see the only movies that I want them to see.

[00:36:29] No, the reason I did this with Charlie specifically is because a while back he had mentioned wanting

[00:36:33] to dig into a lot of movies that he hadn't seen.

[00:36:36] You told me you had him over because he's a piece of shit and he doesn't watch enough movies.

[00:36:39] I said I wanted to start a YouTube channel with you watching movies I haven't seen before.

[00:36:43] Yeah, that was the impetus.

[00:36:45] That was the reason I wanted to get a list together so we could start working on that.

[00:36:48] No, you just wanted to assign me movies.

[00:36:51] Yeah, that's right.

[00:36:52] But it's not an assignment because you don't have a deadline.

[00:36:55] You watch whenever you want to.

[00:36:56] This is the same Brad Omen in which I said a decade ago that if I won the lottery,

[00:37:01] I was going to open a nonprofit theater in La Porte, Indiana.

[00:37:04] And he earnestly told me, Will, if you do that, I can at least help you out by picking

[00:37:10] which movies to play when.

[00:37:12] Wouldn't it be fun?

[00:37:13] The only fun part about running a nonprofit theater would be that.

[00:37:17] You handled waste disposal.

[00:37:19] You handled the staffing.

[00:37:20] You handled the taxes.

[00:37:21] I'm going to pick what you show.

[00:37:23] I'm going to pick the movies you get to show.

[00:37:25] Yeah, here's the thing.

[00:37:25] But here's the thing, though.

[00:37:27] He said it without a hint of irony.

[00:37:29] No, of course not.

[00:37:30] He was perfectly serious.

[00:37:31] I'll help you.

[00:37:32] Wouldn't that be helpful?

[00:37:33] Yeah.

[00:37:34] No, it wouldn't at all.

[00:37:35] It would be the least helpful thing.

[00:37:37] Here's the thing.

[00:37:37] It would be taking the only joy from me.

[00:37:39] Here's the thing.

[00:37:39] Which is what you do every day.

[00:37:40] I'm not talking about programming all the time, just sometimes.

[00:37:45] And also, you're the business guy.

[00:37:47] You're good at that stuff.

[00:37:48] You have awful taste in movies.

[00:37:49] Why would we let you program the entire theater all the time?

[00:37:53] The name of the theater is Reputation.

[00:37:55] Nate, real quick here.

[00:37:58] Going back five minutes ago when I said, What's My Reputation?

[00:38:01] And you were like, I like you.

[00:38:04] I do like you.

[00:38:05] That's not the question.

[00:38:06] I like you.

[00:38:07] Come on, mom.

[00:38:09] I think you're a good boy.

[00:38:10] Oh, my God.

[00:38:11] That's not the question.

[00:38:12] Do you think that I have a bad taste in movies?

[00:38:15] No.

[00:38:16] Not just movies.

[00:38:18] Charlie, is that all you've watched?

[00:38:22] Well, we could talk about Shrinking.

[00:38:23] We could talk about Silo.

[00:38:25] I've not seen Silo yet.

[00:38:26] I've heard it's good.

[00:38:27] Silo's really good.

[00:38:28] It's a show, Ben.

[00:38:29] You're going to be looking at love it.

[00:38:29] Any other movies in there, buddy?

[00:38:31] I mean, these are just same length stories, just cut down into smaller sections you can

[00:38:36] watch.

[00:38:36] Brad, I guess we can go to you on a big screen starring movie stars.

[00:38:40] I'm glad we brought up Ben's reputation with Tasted Movies because the movie that Ben assigned

[00:38:45] to me a couple weeks ago.

[00:38:48] Because I forgot what this is, so now it's going to be...

[00:38:49] I'd probably talk about his assigned movie.

[00:38:51] Oh, that's true.

[00:38:52] Oh, yeah.

[00:38:53] Oh, I'm sorry.

[00:38:54] Did you not watch your movie?

[00:38:55] You had an assignment a couple weeks ago, didn't you?

[00:38:57] I don't remember.

[00:38:58] I watched your stupid movie.

[00:39:00] Okay.

[00:39:00] Good for you.

[00:39:01] I gave you a good movie.

[00:39:02] What did I assign you?

[00:39:04] Hold on.

[00:39:05] Hold on.

[00:39:05] Hold on.

[00:39:05] What movie did you give me, Nate?

[00:39:06] I don't remember.

[00:39:08] Must have been good, though.

[00:39:09] Did you watch your assignment?

[00:39:10] Do you remember what you gave me?

[00:39:11] No, I don't.

[00:39:12] Oh, my God.

[00:39:13] It doesn't count then.

[00:39:14] It doesn't count.

[00:39:15] Those are the rules.

[00:39:15] You have to remember what you gave somebody.

[00:39:17] That's not the rules at all.

[00:39:18] No, it is.

[00:39:19] It is.

[00:39:20] The thing is, assign me movies, guys.

[00:39:22] You assigned me Christmastown on Netflix.

[00:39:24] Exactly.

[00:39:25] You'll just lie.

[00:39:26] Yeah.

[00:39:26] You gave me Pig, and it was great.

[00:39:29] Hold on.

[00:39:29] I'm going to check and see you now.

[00:39:31] Charlie, Pig's about a truffle farmer.

[00:39:33] Yeah.

[00:39:33] And I do want to see it.

[00:39:35] But it's not what you think.

[00:39:36] And most people, when they say that movie...

[00:39:38] I would watch it, but nobody's assigned it to me yet.

[00:39:40] It's not what you think.

[00:39:41] Ooh, this motherfucker.

[00:39:41] I hate when they do that shit, but it's not what you think in the best way possible.

[00:39:45] Ben, let's talk about the reputation thing.

[00:39:47] Just because here's the thing.

[00:39:49] It's really starting to bother me.

[00:39:50] You like films.

[00:39:50] You like films.

[00:39:51] But you like some films.

[00:39:53] But you tend to really like certain films that I know most people won't.

[00:40:01] And those aren't like high art films.

[00:40:04] It's like Jason Statham and Maura's attorney are in a film that just came out that didn't

[00:40:10] get theatrical release.

[00:40:12] It's called Beat Up Revenge.

[00:40:13] No.

[00:40:13] And Ben's like, did I watch that the first night it came out?

[00:40:16] Yeah, I did.

[00:40:16] I rented it.

[00:40:17] I only have limited time now to watch movies.

[00:40:21] And so I do use them more as an escape rather than like a...

[00:40:23] I want to sit down and think about a heavy film.

[00:40:26] I'll admit.

[00:40:27] Nate.

[00:40:27] I have definitely gotten more granular with how I choose these things.

[00:40:32] So I'm like, okay, I've got two hours tonight and that's all I've got.

[00:40:34] So there's an award winner and there's a Jason Statham movie.

[00:40:36] I'm just going to...

[00:40:37] I'm absolutely going to pick Jason Statham.

[00:40:39] However, in the pantheon of films that I have seen, I do have the movies like Albert

[00:40:45] Hitchcock's Rope that is in my top 10 of all time.

[00:40:48] You've got an incredible...

[00:40:48] 12 Angry Men.

[00:40:49] Like, I understand that shit.

[00:40:51] You've got an incredible resume.

[00:40:51] You do.

[00:40:51] I just choose the silly shit now more than ever.

[00:40:55] And you love them.

[00:40:55] That's all.

[00:40:56] So fuck off.

[00:40:57] Nate, you were assigned before Sunrise.

[00:40:59] Oh, yeah.

[00:41:00] Yeah.

[00:41:00] Did you watch it?

[00:41:01] No.

[00:41:02] No.

[00:41:03] No.

[00:41:03] But I will.

[00:41:04] Hey, Ben.

[00:41:04] I will.

[00:41:05] Welcome to the podcast.

[00:41:06] I know.

[00:41:06] I've been bad.

[00:41:07] Captain missing assignments.

[00:41:09] Avoiding assignments.

[00:41:10] I know.

[00:41:10] But you know what?

[00:41:11] There's been a standard set now.

[00:41:13] Okay.

[00:41:13] No.

[00:41:14] We will not engage.

[00:41:16] There's one thing we will not do on this show.

[00:41:17] We will not engage in whataboutism.

[00:41:19] Okay.

[00:41:20] Okay.

[00:41:20] Just because I fucked up.

[00:41:21] I didn't say whataboutit, you.

[00:41:22] I just said you did it.

[00:41:23] There's been a standard set meaning whataboutben?

[00:41:25] He didn't know it.

[00:41:26] No, it wasn't saying whataboutyou.

[00:41:27] I'm just saying this is the new standard now.

[00:41:29] So I forgot what movie I gave Brad.

[00:41:32] I just talked about my reputation as a movie giver.

[00:41:36] Yeah.

[00:41:37] And so, Brad, what?

[00:41:38] How big of a hole did I dig for myself here?

[00:41:41] Ben assigned me the original Crocodile Dundee.

[00:41:47] Did you really?

[00:41:48] He did.

[00:41:49] Son of a bitch.

[00:41:51] Son of a bitch.

[00:41:57] Damn it.

[00:42:03] I did.

[00:42:04] Fuck.

[00:42:04] I did.

[00:42:05] Damn it.

[00:42:05] I just, I can't believe, I cannot believe that I just wrapped myself into a fucking corner

[00:42:11] here and did that.

[00:42:12] Oh my God.

[00:42:13] For those of you that don't know, Crocodile Dundee is a comedy that came out in the 80s.

[00:42:19] Follows Paul Hogan.

[00:42:20] It's a classic.

[00:42:21] An Australian actor.

[00:42:22] Everyone knows.

[00:42:23] Oh, it is a classic.

[00:42:23] All right.

[00:42:23] And he plays this guy from Australia who's your standard outdoors.

[00:42:32] Badass.

[00:42:32] He's a badass.

[00:42:33] Yeah.

[00:42:33] He catches snakes.

[00:42:34] He stops crocodiles and he stops one from attacking this woman who's doing a story about

[00:42:39] him for the newspaper when newspapers mattered.

[00:42:41] And so...

[00:42:42] It's a fish out of water.

[00:42:43] It is a fish out of water story because he eventually gets brought to New York after

[00:42:48] she spent some time with him in Australia and he's kind of experiencing the city and whatnot.

[00:42:52] Here's the weird thing about this movie.

[00:42:56] Like, almost barely anything happens in this movie.

[00:42:59] Yeah.

[00:43:00] So I remember...

[00:43:01] He goes to New York.

[00:43:02] But that's it, right?

[00:43:04] Yeah.

[00:43:04] It's a story about...

[00:43:05] And it's...

[00:43:05] It's not...

[00:43:06] Sorry.

[00:43:06] But I do remember this being what...

[00:43:09] Some studio head was high on coke and was like, what if an Australian guy that was

[00:43:13] really good at the Outback had to go to New York City?

[00:43:15] And they're like, do you want to write about that?

[00:43:17] Like, not really.

[00:43:19] Just do it.

[00:43:20] Yes.

[00:43:20] Because like...

[00:43:20] I want coming to America but whiter.

[00:43:23] It doesn't play it up as much as you might think it would as far as comedically or like

[00:43:27] even the fish out of water angle.

[00:43:29] Like, he's a little out of his element but it's not...

[00:43:32] But he's still a person.

[00:43:32] Yeah.

[00:43:32] It's not like over the top or anything like that but also like he doesn't get caught up

[00:43:36] in like any sort of plot or anything like that.

[00:43:38] A hijinx or...

[00:43:39] They're not trying to convince him to do anything.

[00:43:41] It's not like he's like resistant to doing something in the city.

[00:43:44] He just is introduced to New York and even the romance that's at the center of it

[00:43:49] is like an afterthought.

[00:43:50] Like, it's clear that there's a little bit of attraction there because they kiss early

[00:43:54] on when she's in Australia.

[00:43:55] But then it's not as if there's like this back and forth because her boyfriend is kind

[00:44:00] of a douchebag and she kind of knows that.

[00:44:02] But it's not as if she's forced to choose between them or that he's trying to convince

[00:44:05] her to like pull away from him.

[00:44:07] This is also a movie that stood the test of time because of a few catchphrases, right?

[00:44:12] That's not a knife.

[00:44:13] This is a knife.

[00:44:13] I will tell you what didn't stand the test of time are the two sexual assaults Crocodile

[00:44:18] Dundee commits where he grabs a trans woman by the crotch and then later because of his

[00:44:24] mistake previously grabs a biological woman by the crotch.

[00:44:28] Now we know why Ben loves it.

[00:44:30] That's probably a big part.

[00:44:31] Ladies and gentlemen, you're president.

[00:44:33] So, yeah.

[00:44:35] But it's – I didn't hate this movie but I was genuinely surprised.

[00:44:39] You're confused as to what is going on here.

[00:44:41] I think the most baffling thing to me is why this movie was so popular and why it spawned

[00:44:46] two sequels.

[00:44:47] I think though like most critics agree, this is really just a vehicle for Reginald L.

[00:44:52] Johnson to do his own.

[00:44:54] Reginald L. Johnson does play the driver.

[00:44:58] And that is also the – that's Family Matters and also –

[00:45:01] Reginald L. Johnson's loan from Die Hard.

[00:45:03] Yes.

[00:45:04] Vehicle for him but like – and also you're absolutely right.

[00:45:07] This film freaking killed.

[00:45:09] Yeah, it was a huge hit.

[00:45:10] Like $300 million.

[00:45:11] $320 million on like a $10 million budget.

[00:45:14] And I think back then this was probably your first – other than like Mad Max being an

[00:45:20] Australian literal vehicle.

[00:45:22] I do think that's what it was.

[00:45:23] But it's like nobody had seen a big blockbuster about anybody from Australia yet and they just

[00:45:28] made it about, oh, what if this whole culture came to America?

[00:45:31] Everybody was just like, oh, curious to see what that is.

[00:45:33] And then, oh, it's funny too?

[00:45:35] Cool.

[00:45:35] Also, it was the 80s.

[00:45:36] So like the prime time for like capitalist culture, suburban attitudes, big city living,

[00:45:43] like buying up stuff with credit cards.

[00:45:45] And you bring this guy who's from the middle of fucking nowhere in Australia and he looks

[00:45:49] like – he lives straight in the outback.

[00:45:52] And so like that –

[00:45:53] That juxtaposition is interesting.

[00:45:54] Exactly.

[00:45:54] And that culture clash.

[00:45:55] I think it was – it came a time when people were fascinated by people who were living

[00:45:58] like with such –

[00:46:00] Counterculture kind of thing.

[00:46:01] Yeah, exactly.

[00:46:01] And so –

[00:46:02] I think it was just the perfect storm.

[00:46:03] Yeah.

[00:46:03] Now, obviously, there were what, two sequels?

[00:46:06] Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles?

[00:46:08] I think that was the third one.

[00:46:09] The third one was the second.

[00:46:09] Just Crocodile Dundee 2.

[00:46:10] Yeah.

[00:46:11] And then that's when – it took place in Australia maybe?

[00:46:13] She went there?

[00:46:13] I can't remember.

[00:46:14] I don't remember because I never see –

[00:46:15] Well, that's going to be your next assignment, so don't worry.

[00:46:17] I can't wait to see who he assaults in these.

[00:46:19] It's Dununda.

[00:46:20] Yeah.

[00:46:22] Yuck.

[00:46:23] But no, it wasn't bad.

[00:46:25] It wasn't great.

[00:46:26] Just kind of mystifying, honestly.

[00:46:27] I will say the final scene of the movie –

[00:46:30] In the crowded subway?

[00:46:32] Yeah.

[00:46:32] Pretty romantic.

[00:46:33] Yeah.

[00:46:33] It's actually pretty cool.

[00:46:34] I was surprised how good the ending was, and it felt like it didn't feel earned, but

[00:46:40] it was a great scene.

[00:46:41] For those of you that have never even seen the movie, or we're not spoiling shit here

[00:46:44] because it's 40 years old, but they basically play a game of telephone in a very crowded

[00:46:48] subway platform where it's like, tell her I love her, and it's like the guy has to

[00:46:52] pass that information on, and the crowd kind of gets behind him and helps them do that.

[00:46:56] And then he climbs over the crowd.

[00:46:57] Yeah, it's a crowd surfing.

[00:46:58] It's a really – yeah, again, I think that's a great way of putting it.

[00:47:00] I don't think that the movie earned that ending, but somebody did a great job of writing

[00:47:04] that ending.

[00:47:04] Yeah, exactly.

[00:47:05] So, yeah.

[00:47:06] What else do you see, buddy?

[00:47:07] I've also seen some other things.

[00:47:10] What happened on my phone?

[00:47:11] My kangaroo pouch.

[00:47:12] What happened?

[00:47:13] Yeah.

[00:47:13] Jesus Christ.

[00:47:14] So, I've been going to the theaters a lot because I've been trying to do some catch-up

[00:47:16] on things that I –

[00:47:17] How about maybe you've done some mustard?

[00:47:20] I got you.

[00:47:22] Condiments.

[00:47:23] Don't do that.

[00:47:24] They don't call me Ben Condiments for nothing.

[00:47:26] Hey, no one has ever called you that, and the fact that they haven't is a shame.

[00:47:32] A friend of the pod, Alex Pappas' kids, called me – what, Ben Conduit?

[00:47:37] Yeah.

[00:47:37] Ben Conduit.

[00:47:38] That's cool.

[00:47:39] I'll keep that one, too.

[00:47:40] Because he connects people.

[00:47:41] They call you Chip?

[00:47:42] Chip.

[00:47:42] Nice.

[00:47:42] May I ask you a question?

[00:47:44] May I ask you a question?

[00:47:45] Get it?

[00:47:46] What films did you see?

[00:47:46] Mayo.

[00:47:48] Hey, let's relish this opportunity to listen to Brad real quick.

[00:47:53] Onions.

[00:47:53] See, I knew you were going to do that.

[00:47:54] That's not a vegetable.

[00:47:55] It's not funny when that's the only thing you do.

[00:47:58] Pickles.

[00:47:59] Okay, that's a little funny.

[00:48:01] So, I went to go see We Live in Time.

[00:48:04] I believe we talked about the trailer on this podcast a while back.

[00:48:07] This is the romance starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield.

[00:48:12] And it follows them as –

[00:48:13] I love Andrew Garfield.

[00:48:14] I love them both, honestly.

[00:48:16] Yeah, I do love Florence Pugh.

[00:48:17] Yeah.

[00:48:17] And so, it follows this couple who meet and they fall in love.

[00:48:22] And it jumps back and forth in time as far as their story.

[00:48:25] It's not chronological.

[00:48:26] And she gets cancer.

[00:48:28] And so, it's a bit of a weepy when it comes to that.

[00:48:31] But the performances are so good.

[00:48:32] It's such a charming movie.

[00:48:34] They're phenomenal together.

[00:48:36] I could watch them together in so many movies because they're just so great together.

[00:48:40] They're so authentic and genuine.

[00:48:42] Is this a sad Nate movie?

[00:48:44] You would love this movie, 100%.

[00:48:45] It's definitely a sad Nate movie.

[00:48:47] You would very much appreciate it.

[00:48:49] Would Ben hate this movie?

[00:48:49] I don't think Ben would hate this movie.

[00:48:50] I just don't think he has time for it because he's got to fucking, I don't know, get out

[00:48:53] the Tonka trucks and take the kids to donut practice and whatever the fuck.

[00:48:57] Donut practice?

[00:48:57] I would go, dude.

[00:48:58] If there was a –

[00:48:59] It would be his favorite parenting thing in the world.

[00:49:01] If there was a kids donut league, and I don't even know what this is,

[00:49:04] but I volunteer to run it.

[00:49:06] Not even coach Ben.

[00:49:08] Well, walk it.

[00:49:08] Coach Ben.

[00:49:10] Tell you what, you handle all the scheduling, all the teams, all the coaches.

[00:49:13] I'll pick the flavors.

[00:49:13] He'll pick the donuts.

[00:49:14] Oh, my God, please.

[00:49:15] Yeah, because you have terrible taste in donuts.

[00:49:18] What the fuck?

[00:49:20] I mean, that's a little bit.

[00:49:21] I think we all do okay with our donuts.

[00:49:23] Yeah, I was going to say, look around this table.

[00:49:25] Look at us.

[00:49:26] If there's not a donut expert panel down here, I don't know what we're doing.

[00:49:29] We just started a donut podcast, probably.

[00:49:32] What do you want to call it?

[00:49:33] Donut asked me about it.

[00:49:36] Donut asked, donut tell.

[00:49:38] Is that a robot podcast doing it?

[00:49:40] Donut asked, donut tell.

[00:49:44] Humorbot 2.0.

[00:49:46] Don't bring robots.

[00:49:47] This is Humorbot.

[00:49:48] Would you like to hear a joke?

[00:49:49] You should have seen 1.0.

[00:49:51] Humorbot, yes.

[00:49:52] It just groups people.

[00:49:53] Knock, knock.

[00:49:54] Who's there?

[00:49:55] Humorbot 2.0 interrupter version.

[00:49:58] Humorbot.

[00:49:58] Ah!

[00:50:00] Okay.

[00:50:01] I like Humorbot.

[00:50:04] He's a rascal, but he knows what he's doing.

[00:50:06] Humorbot stays.

[00:50:08] Humorbot stays.

[00:50:09] I also wanted to go see Onora, which, Ben, you'll love this.

[00:50:13] It's an A24 movie.

[00:50:14] By the way, this film came out of nowhere.

[00:50:17] Everyone's talking about this film.

[00:50:18] I had not even seen it.

[00:50:19] What's it called?

[00:50:20] Onora.

[00:50:20] And so the trailer has been playing around.

[00:50:22] I'm surprised you haven't seen it, but it is.

[00:50:24] So yeah, it did hit the festival circuit, and it's been acclaimed by critics.

[00:50:27] It's probably going to end up on a lot of best lists at the end of the year.

[00:50:31] Could be an awards contender.

[00:50:32] It's from Sean Baker, who did Tangerine and Red Rocket previously, if you guys are familiar with those movies.

[00:50:37] You remember that.

[00:50:37] I've seen Tangerine.

[00:50:38] Yeah.

[00:50:38] It was shot on an iPhone.

[00:50:40] Yeah.

[00:50:40] And so this is another movie where it does deal with what people normally consider taboo subjects,

[00:50:46] because he deals with a lot of sexual content.

[00:50:48] And this is about a woman who is a stripper, who also kind of moonlights as a prostitute.

[00:50:53] Okay.

[00:50:54] All right.

[00:50:55] Oh, no, Ben, you will love this.

[00:50:57] More like Double D24.

[00:50:59] But no, so Mikey Madison stars in it, and she plays the woman, and she meets this Russian

[00:51:06] kid who's in his early 20s, and he likes her, and so he's paying her for sex, obviously.

[00:51:12] But then he wants to keep her around.

[00:51:14] And so it starts off as kind of like a pretty woman scenario, but then it ventures into uncut

[00:51:20] gems territory.

[00:51:20] Ben, don't touch your dick.

[00:51:24] And so it's a little bit of risky business, a little bit of uncut gems, a little bit of

[00:51:29] pretty woman.

[00:51:29] And so when his parents find out that they get married in Vegas, then panic ensues, and

[00:51:37] it's intense.

[00:51:38] It's hilarious.

[00:51:40] Everyone is great in it, but it's just this whole thing where he runs away, they're trying

[00:51:45] to find him, and it's really, really good.

[00:51:48] HumorBot 2.0 has an opinion about this film.

[00:51:52] If it is a bad film, could it be called A Snore?

[00:51:55] Or a...

[00:51:57] Is there like a knob that we can change the settings?

[00:52:01] When the person in the film, the Russian boy, takes down his pants and she says, that's

[00:52:05] a real uncut gem.

[00:52:06] It is because he is uncircumcised.

[00:52:07] Oh, boy.

[00:52:09] Yeah, this is...

[00:52:09] You know, HumorBot...

[00:52:11] Do you like that I'm actually using my hands like a robot that no one can see?

[00:52:14] No unprompted jokes.

[00:52:16] Okay.

[00:52:17] At least his operating system is good for commands.

[00:52:21] So we talked about Y2K, obviously.

[00:52:23] I saw...

[00:52:24] Y2K, that was my...

[00:52:25] Oh, no.

[00:52:27] Please do not bring up my ancestors.

[00:52:30] Right now, you're like Gilbert Grapebot.

[00:52:38] That's a good fucking joke.

[00:52:40] If the audience could see my hands, you would absolutely say that is definitely Gilbert Grapebot.

[00:52:45] I killed him, Gilbert.

[00:52:48] Mama, wake up.

[00:52:49] Mama, wake up.

[00:52:50] Mama, wake up.

[00:52:52] It's the Burger Barn Gilbert.

[00:52:55] Is that a...

[00:52:55] Can we do that?

[00:52:56] I don't know that we can do that.

[00:52:57] It's a robot.

[00:52:58] It's a robot, yeah.

[00:52:58] We're going to get away with it.

[00:52:59] We're not doing it.

[00:53:00] We're not doing it.

[00:53:00] The robot did it.

[00:53:01] Get out of here.

[00:53:02] Get out of here.

[00:53:03] It's just bidding cardboard boxes.

[00:53:07] It's Cartman.

[00:53:08] Yeah.

[00:53:09] I saw Moana 2, which is out in theaters today.

[00:53:13] I'm interested in this.

[00:53:14] What are you taking on this?

[00:53:14] Is that just going to be on Disney whatever?

[00:53:17] VOD?

[00:53:18] No, it's in theaters.

[00:53:19] So, but it's not like getting a holiday release from...

[00:53:22] Like the boys are going to want to see it, but I would have to pick them in theaters.

[00:53:24] Yeah, I can't imagine they're going to put it on Disney Plus before January is the earliest

[00:53:27] because they're expecting it to be a big box office hit.

[00:53:29] But so yeah, this is obviously the sequel to the first movie, which has been massively

[00:53:33] successful.

[00:53:34] It is, I believe, the most streamed movie across all streaming services, not just Disney Plus.

[00:53:39] I love Moana 1.

[00:53:40] Moana is fantastic.

[00:53:42] I absolutely adore the first movie.

[00:53:43] The soundtrack is great.

[00:53:44] The story is fantastic.

[00:53:45] You love soundtracks, Brad.

[00:53:46] I do.

[00:53:47] We know this.

[00:53:47] I do too.

[00:53:48] I know Nate, not as much, but Brad really does love them.

[00:53:52] No, he doesn't.

[00:53:52] Not as much as me.

[00:53:53] He brings them up.

[00:53:54] Well, he doesn't.

[00:53:55] You know how I know he loves them?

[00:53:55] He doesn't like anything.

[00:53:56] Because he brings them up all the time where he's like, oh, the soundtrack is just so

[00:53:59] great.

[00:53:59] And I'm like, shut the fuck up.

[00:54:00] But with Moana, I actually agree because I downloaded it and I actually played that soundtrack

[00:54:05] in my house.

[00:54:06] It's the name of Miranda.

[00:54:06] Why wouldn't it be great?

[00:54:07] Of course.

[00:54:07] And unlike a movie like Frozen, I think all the songs on Moana are bangers because there

[00:54:12] are a couple songs of Frozen.

[00:54:13] I'm like, man.

[00:54:14] Didn't you say Frozen 2 had a better soundtrack than Frozen 1?

[00:54:16] That's the dumbest take I've ever made.

[00:54:17] I personally think Frozen 2, with the exception of Let It Go, has overall better songs.

[00:54:22] Not true.

[00:54:23] Not true.

[00:54:23] Charlie, where do you weigh in on the Frozen 2?

[00:54:24] Frozen 2.

[00:54:25] I've not heard the Frozen 2 soundtrack, but I love the Frozen soundtrack.

[00:54:27] You want to listen to it?

[00:54:27] I love the Frozen soundtrack.

[00:54:28] We'll just date night.

[00:54:30] We'll listen to the Frozen 2 soundtrack and then we'll have an opinion about it.

[00:54:32] As long as Humor Bot is there.

[00:54:33] Okay.

[00:54:34] I'll invite him.

[00:54:35] It's really upsetting.

[00:54:37] What is it called when the music stops and it stops and it stops?

[00:54:41] It's frozen.

[00:54:43] What happens when it happens again?

[00:54:44] It's Frozen 2.

[00:54:45] He operates off a disk drive.

[00:54:47] No unprompted jokes.

[00:54:50] Receive.

[00:54:52] Humor Bot is sad.

[00:54:54] This is what I wonder about Moana 2 and you can either confirm or not.

[00:54:57] I think the music from Moana, the first film, plays a really important part in the emotional

[00:55:03] resonance of the film.

[00:55:04] Yes.

[00:55:05] Are they able to do that in the second film or does it just seem more like musical numbers?

[00:55:10] No.

[00:55:11] They do try to make it have that resonance in the same way.

[00:55:16] The shortcoming in the soundtrack for the second movie, even though the songs are still

[00:55:19] pretty good, is that Lin-Manuel Miranda was not involved in the making of the soundtrack

[00:55:23] for this one.

[00:55:25] He's clearly talented.

[00:55:26] Yeah.

[00:55:26] And so they did bring in a couple people who did work on the songs from the first movie

[00:55:30] and they have two new writers who worked on this.

[00:55:34] It's like some kind of unofficial Bridgerton musical they made that apparently was a big

[00:55:37] viral hit or something like that.

[00:55:40] And so the songs are decent, but they're missing some of Lin-Manuel Miranda's magic.

[00:55:45] The early things I've read online about it were that this revolves around a lot of death.

[00:55:50] Is that true?

[00:55:51] Is that a joke?

[00:55:52] No, it's not a joke.

[00:55:53] Like there's-

[00:55:54] I mean, death is in the first one.

[00:55:55] Heavily themed?

[00:55:56] No.

[00:55:57] Okay.

[00:55:58] No.

[00:55:58] I mean, the grandmother dies in the first one, but I don't-

[00:56:00] Yeah.

[00:56:01] No.

[00:56:01] No.

[00:56:01] There's-

[00:56:02] Yeah.

[00:56:03] I mean, yeah.

[00:56:03] I would never say that like death is like a big thing at all.

[00:56:06] Well, then I should not get my news from where I'm getting it.

[00:56:10] Where did you get that?

[00:56:11] Slashville.

[00:56:12] My dad texted me.

[00:56:12] No, that's not true.

[00:56:14] But no.

[00:56:14] So I've heard-

[00:56:16] Wait, your dad texted you about Moana 2?

[00:56:18] We have a married-

[00:56:18] Heard Moana 2s about death.

[00:56:20] Honestly, and then I went K.

[00:56:22] I heard it was more about like the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

[00:56:28] It is-

[00:56:28] That's more on the money.

[00:56:29] Yeah.

[00:56:29] It's about what's going on in Gaza right now.

[00:56:31] But no, it's-

[00:56:32] The movie itself is-

[00:56:34] It's solid.

[00:56:34] It's hard to match the original Moana because it's so good.

[00:56:38] There's a solid adventure.

[00:56:40] The songs are pretty good.

[00:56:42] The animation is gorgeous and it does still have a big heart to it, but it just doesn't

[00:56:48] quite get there.

[00:56:49] It still works.

[00:56:50] It's still-

[00:56:51] There's some interesting new characters.

[00:56:54] What's really interesting to me is, and we have an article about this on Slashville,

[00:56:57] is that in my opinion, and a couple of the people that I talked to who had seen the movie

[00:57:00] too agreed, the best song on the soundtrack is sung by a character who has only been very

[00:57:06] mildly teased in the trailers.

[00:57:09] It's an incredible song.

[00:57:11] The chicken?

[00:57:11] It's not the chicken.

[00:57:13] Hey, hey.

[00:57:13] Hey, hey, he's on the chicken.

[00:57:14] But yeah, so Moana 2, pretty good.

[00:57:17] I think it's still worth seeing in theaters because it's a fun time.

[00:57:20] What else did you see?

[00:57:21] And then the last movie I saw last night, actually, which is a movie called Nickel

[00:57:24] Boys.

[00:57:25] No, I heard about this film.

[00:57:26] This is like when the Nickel Boys became Nickelback.

[00:57:32] No, not at all, actually.

[00:57:34] And once you hear what the movie is about, you're probably going to be really upset you

[00:57:37] made a joke about it.

[00:57:38] No.

[00:57:39] This is a Holocaust film.

[00:57:40] Yeah.

[00:57:40] It's a Holocaust film.

[00:57:41] I guarantee you.

[00:57:42] No, but it is tragic material.

[00:57:44] No, so this is a movie that's based on a book.

[00:57:46] And so I went into this movie.

[00:57:48] The only thing I knew about it was that I'd heard some people on the Slash from Slack

[00:57:51] say it was really good and that it's probably going to be an awards contender.

[00:57:56] And so the movie is fantastic.

[00:57:58] And I liked going into it blind, not knowing anything, because I don't get to do that often.

[00:58:02] And so being able to experience a movie like this and not really knowing what the story

[00:58:06] is or what to expect was great.

[00:58:08] And so I was really, really blown away by this movie to the point where it'll definitely be in my top 10 by the end of the year.

[00:58:15] It is the movie itself follows two teenage black boys who have been sent to the Nickel Academy, which is basically like a juvenile detention center.

[00:58:27] And it's back in like the 1960s.

[00:58:30] And it follows them as they meet each other and they experience life in this place together.

[00:58:36] And like it's the kind of place you'd expect where they like they mistreat like the kids and like they're punished harshly if they screw up.

[00:58:43] Wow, Nate.

[00:58:43] How do you feel about making that joke now?

[00:58:45] It's really difficult to get out.

[00:58:47] They make it seem like there's a way you can, quote unquote, graduate and get out of the situation.

[00:58:54] But what's most interesting about it is it's shot in a first person perspective.

[00:58:59] And so it starts off from the perspective of this kid as he's younger.

[00:59:02] So you get a sense of who he is and then follows him as he goes to Nickel Academy.

[00:59:06] And then it introduces a new character and it switches perspective and shows things from his perspective.

[00:59:11] And then it eventually starts jumping back and forth.

[00:59:14] And so the way it's shot is really interesting because you have characters talking directly to the camera.

[00:59:18] It really makes it feel a lot more intimate.

[00:59:21] The performances are great.

[00:59:23] It is it's really tragic.

[00:59:25] There's there's an element of time jumping to it that may add another like dynamic level to the story as far as like what you experience, what you expect and think is going to happen to these characters.

[00:59:36] And yeah, it's just a real powerful piece of filmmaking.

[00:59:40] I was so impressed by it.

[00:59:41] I see how much Linklater is in this and I know he's probably not one of the good guys, but I really like him.

[00:59:48] Yeah, he's a good actor.

[00:59:49] It's a it's a small role.

[00:59:50] And you're right.

[00:59:51] He's definitely not one of the good guys, but it's it's a it's a good supporting performance.

[00:59:55] He does what he needs to do.

[00:59:56] But yeah, it is.

[00:59:58] If you if you can see this, I think it comes out in the middle of December, probably a limited release before it goes.

[01:00:03] December 13th.

[01:00:03] Yeah.

[01:00:04] But it is it's definitely, you know, a tragic story.

[01:00:09] You know, it's it's tough because this is based on a true story, too.

[01:00:12] And yeah, it's just a glad that this is when you ended on.

[01:00:16] Well, I want people to know about good movies coming because I have good taste in films.

[01:00:21] Ben, you talk about Crocodile Dundee again.

[01:00:24] You kind of after I need a palate cleanser.

[01:00:26] Now I'm just sad.

[01:00:27] What else is new?

[01:00:28] Well, Ben, what's the last movie you saw?

[01:00:31] I saw Bob's Burgers movie, the Bob's Burgers movie last night.

[01:00:35] Yeah.

[01:00:35] Yeah.

[01:00:35] I've seen it.

[01:00:35] I've seen it before, but I saw it again last night.

[01:00:37] OK.

[01:00:37] The boys.

[01:00:37] How did that go?

[01:00:38] It's a it's I forgot how musical it is.

[01:00:40] It's basically a musical.

[01:00:42] Yeah, it's great.

[01:00:42] Did the kids like it?

[01:00:43] They've seen it a couple of times as well.

[01:00:45] OK.

[01:00:45] They liked it.

[01:00:46] The thing is, like, they can't ever get on the same page with what they want to watch.

[01:00:49] Yeah.

[01:00:49] So we don't we end up just picking one.

[01:00:50] And then I'm like, OK, well, you can pick the new one the next time.

[01:00:53] But as soon as they start watching it, they just get these big, dumb smiles on their faces

[01:00:56] like, oh, yeah, this is fine.

[01:00:57] Yeah.

[01:00:59] So, no, it was it was great.

[01:01:01] I saw making them watch Crocodile Dundee.

[01:01:03] No, I'm not going to introduce them that to the other.

[01:01:04] They're not quite ready for the Dundee.

[01:01:06] Oh, but I watched I watched my assigned movie yesterday, Nate.

[01:01:14] You really don't remember, do you?

[01:01:15] I know what it is.

[01:01:16] It has been like three weeks since we assigned movies.

[01:01:18] What movie, Brad?

[01:01:19] He watched once.

[01:01:20] Oh, yes.

[01:01:23] So good.

[01:01:24] You've seen this, Brad?

[01:01:24] Oh, dude, I love this movie so much.

[01:01:26] And I love the soundtrack for this movie as well.

[01:01:28] Yeah, I was being punished by having to watch this.

[01:01:32] Wow.

[01:01:33] It's just it's just it's just an hour and a half of them singing songs to each other.

[01:01:38] And I'm sure it's great.

[01:01:40] You're such an asshole.

[01:01:41] They just it's just genuinely a very good film.

[01:01:44] Yeah, it's such a beautiful.

[01:01:45] Oh, I'm sorry that Jason Statham didn't show up and was like, oh, I'm hunting hornets today.

[01:01:52] The Hornet Keeper.

[01:01:53] I want to see Jason Statham's hunting hornets.

[01:01:55] Yeah, honestly, I want to see that movie.

[01:01:57] The Hornet Keeper.

[01:01:59] That's what I just said.

[01:02:00] Did you say Hornet Keeper?

[01:02:01] Yeah.

[01:02:01] Oh, I missed that one.

[01:02:02] Literally, this film holds a 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

[01:02:05] Of course.

[01:02:06] Ben doesn't like it.

[01:02:07] Yeah, it's not that I don't like it.

[01:02:08] It's not a movie.

[01:02:09] The soundtrack won Grammys.

[01:02:10] It's fine.

[01:02:11] It's such a good soundtrack.

[01:02:13] This film is it's great.

[01:02:16] There is the give and take between the two leads is different than most romantic comedies

[01:02:22] that I've seen because it's not necessarily even a path to it.

[01:02:28] It's not.

[01:02:28] It seems like most trophy types of this film would be like, oh, it's a it's a movie about

[01:02:34] them getting together.

[01:02:35] Yeah.

[01:02:35] We're going to tell it through the song.

[01:02:37] That's not what this is.

[01:02:38] This is really a movie about a busker, a street busker, you know, making it in the big time

[01:02:49] eventually with some true talent that you can't have this movie without having original great

[01:02:55] songs.

[01:02:55] Yeah.

[01:02:56] Like that thing you do that they have original music in there and it's very good.

[01:03:01] Yes.

[01:03:01] That's why that movie is good.

[01:03:02] You can't fake that.

[01:03:03] Yeah.

[01:03:03] And so the fact that these songs were incredible obviously helps it out a lot.

[01:03:08] I like that the woman I don't know any of these actors.

[01:03:12] Her name is Marketa Erglova.

[01:03:13] Yep.

[01:03:14] Okay.

[01:03:14] And both of these both these the main actor and the main actress are musicians themselves.

[01:03:18] Yeah.

[01:03:19] Glenn Hansard is the guy.

[01:03:20] Yeah.

[01:03:20] So they're they're back and forth is incredible.

[01:03:23] She is particularly wonderful in this film because she's not only very Eastern European

[01:03:30] straightforward, but also there's a little bit of tongue in cheek there.

[01:03:34] She plays it very mousy, very, very coy.

[01:03:37] Yeah.

[01:03:38] And I really liked her performance.

[01:03:41] But when you talked about like the fact that like it doesn't lean into like what you

[01:03:44] would expect as far as a romance, I think my favorite thing about this movie is that it's

[01:03:48] a love story, but it's a love story about music and how two people can come together and create

[01:03:53] something beautiful and they don't necessarily fall in love with each other.

[01:03:56] But they the connection they have results in something that is like still beautiful and

[01:04:00] a different way.

[01:04:01] And that's the that's the chemistry they have.

[01:04:03] And you want the chemistry to be between the two people.

[01:04:06] But you realize that the chemistry is actually in the music.

[01:04:08] Yeah.

[01:04:09] Thematically, this is the same movie as two people got together and had a child.

[01:04:13] And the music in this is the child.

[01:04:15] They came together, made something incredibly beautiful that could only have been made by

[01:04:19] these two people.

[01:04:20] Yeah.

[01:04:20] And it's going to withstand the test of time.

[01:04:23] It's going to grow.

[01:04:23] It's going to get to more people.

[01:04:24] But they don't end up, you know, it's not it's not a movie about their love necessarily.

[01:04:28] And no, there's that's a very it's a nuanced take because you can obviously watch this movie

[01:04:34] in a lot of different ways.

[01:04:35] Just watch it for, you know, the I think my favorite part about this from the business

[01:04:40] side of things.

[01:04:41] Right.

[01:04:41] The entrepreneurial part where they go to the bank to get a loan, a small business loan

[01:04:45] to like and they don't know what they're doing.

[01:04:46] But he buys she buys a suit.

[01:04:48] You know, he puts on a suit to do it.

[01:04:50] And and then the the they spend a weekend in the recording studio.

[01:04:53] Yeah.

[01:04:54] That is such a fantastic scene where the the audio guy is like, oh, what the fuck is this?

[01:04:58] And then all of a sudden he realizes they're pretty good.

[01:05:00] So he leans into his job and starts actually doing it.

[01:05:01] And then, of course, like because like their time is up and he is like, no, let's keep

[01:05:05] going.

[01:05:05] Yeah.

[01:05:05] Because like he likes he gets it.

[01:05:07] Yeah.

[01:05:07] And then he wants to he piles them all into their car.

[01:05:09] So we got to do the car test.

[01:05:10] You know, like there's just a lot.

[01:05:11] There's a lot of love about this.

[01:05:13] And it's very character driven, obviously.

[01:05:14] But it's it's more than anything.

[01:05:16] It's driven by original music.

[01:05:18] And it's it's wonderful music.

[01:05:19] And let me say this, too, because I remember when this film came out, this was kind of the

[01:05:23] little film that could.

[01:05:24] It was a hundred and fifty thousand dollar budget.

[01:05:27] Yeah.

[01:05:27] Super indie written.

[01:05:30] You can see where I mean, they shot it on.

[01:05:32] There was no steadicam work.

[01:05:34] And that was probably by design.

[01:05:35] Yeah.

[01:05:35] But also by budget.

[01:05:36] But even that final shot that they do was done in like such a makeshift way where they

[01:05:42] had like the camera pull away from the apartment and get onto like a crane lift.

[01:05:46] Yeah.

[01:05:46] Like a guy just holding the camera.

[01:05:48] Not like any professional equipment necessarily.

[01:05:49] It was great though.

[01:05:50] And lift it up in the sky.

[01:05:50] But it all it gives it that greediness.

[01:05:52] It gives it that realness.

[01:05:53] And that actually worked for it.

[01:05:55] And the soundtracks written by the two actors.

[01:05:57] Yeah.

[01:05:57] The two main actors.

[01:05:58] Yeah.

[01:05:58] They actually did create the music themselves.

[01:05:59] And they I believe they won the Oscar for best original song.

[01:06:03] They did.

[01:06:03] Yeah.

[01:06:03] And then they had a relationship for a little while.

[01:06:05] Yeah.

[01:06:06] There was just so much mystique around the film when it came out.

[01:06:09] And there was never.

[01:06:10] And in 2007, you know, I would have been I would have literally been going to California.

[01:06:13] So that was not a that was not a year that I watched a lot of films.

[01:06:16] It was a big transition year for me.

[01:06:18] Yeah.

[01:06:18] So I clearly missed this one.

[01:06:19] But I'm glad that I watched it.

[01:06:20] Nate, thanks, buddy.

[01:06:21] Yeah.

[01:06:21] I love this movie so much.

[01:06:23] And Glenn Hansard, if you are interested, aside from the soundtrack, he's made some other

[01:06:28] great music, too.

[01:06:28] He actually has a really great cover of Justin Timberlake's Cry Me a River.

[01:06:32] That's like an acoustic version of it.

[01:06:35] That's that's really good.

[01:06:36] But he's got solo work.

[01:06:37] And then he's also the lead singer of a band called The Frames.

[01:06:39] Yeah.

[01:06:39] And the director of this movie would go on to do other great movies that you've enjoyed,

[01:06:44] Ben, that we forced you to watch, such as Sing Street.

[01:06:46] I like Sing Street.

[01:06:47] And Flora and Son.

[01:06:49] And Begin Again.

[01:06:50] I don't think I saw that one.

[01:06:51] Begin Again is with Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightley.

[01:06:54] Also deals with music in the record industry.

[01:06:55] It's really good, actually.

[01:06:57] And then I also I rewatched Margin Call.

[01:07:00] Oh, OK.

[01:07:01] Which is a kind of based around the 2008 financial collapse.

[01:07:05] But it's not about the housing market.

[01:07:06] It's about two analysts that uncover something that is going to wreck their firm.

[01:07:13] And it's a billion dollar hedge fund or whatever.

[01:07:14] So they basically bring.

[01:07:15] I think you've talked about this before.

[01:07:16] I have.

[01:07:16] They bring.

[01:07:17] I love this film.

[01:07:18] And it's because the actors.

[01:07:20] The acting is absolutely incredible.

[01:07:23] Demi Moore is a bit role for her.

[01:07:25] But she chews it up and spits it out.

[01:07:28] Demi.

[01:07:28] Sorry.

[01:07:28] Demi.

[01:07:29] Demi Moore.

[01:07:30] I don't know.

[01:07:31] I don't know.

[01:07:33] Fuck you.

[01:07:35] But no.

[01:07:36] Talk about a who's who.

[01:07:37] This is Stanley Tucci plays an analyst that gets fired.

[01:07:40] Zachary Levi.

[01:07:41] Zachary Quinto.

[01:07:42] Sorry.

[01:07:42] Zachary Quinto.

[01:07:43] Don't want to confuse those two guys.

[01:07:45] Spock himself.

[01:07:46] Zachary Quinto plays one of the analysts.

[01:07:50] Jeremy Irons plays the head of the whole thing.

[01:07:53] Kevin Spacey is fantastic in this.

[01:07:56] And I hate it because he's another reminder.

[01:07:58] We all agree.

[01:07:59] Kevin Spacey is amazing.

[01:07:59] He's a great actor.

[01:08:00] Oh, my God.

[01:08:01] And this one, he plays a bit against type because he's not the ruthless asshole.

[01:08:05] He's not the Glenn Gary Glenn boss guy.

[01:08:07] Glenn.

[01:08:08] Actually, that's not going to leave that in.

[01:08:09] Glenn Gary Glenn boss.

[01:08:10] Yeah.

[01:08:11] Because he was the boss in there.

[01:08:12] He plays a guy kind of fighting for his team and disagreeing with how they're going to fuck

[01:08:17] the public or whatever.

[01:08:18] It's a very it's it takes place in one night overnight.

[01:08:21] And so they get together.

[01:08:23] These head honchos get together two, three, four o'clock in the morning before the markets

[01:08:26] open.

[01:08:27] And there's so there's a there's a time limit on everything.

[01:08:29] So it's just it's kind of a powder keg type movie.

[01:08:31] And it's very, very good.

[01:08:33] This movie has a firm place in humble bread history.

[01:08:36] Oh, boy.

[01:08:36] Because when I was writing for for showing dot net, me and Alex Billington, the guy who

[01:08:41] owned and ran the site, became friends with Dana Brunetti, who's a producer on this

[01:08:46] movie and who started his career as Kevin Spacey's assistant and then became producer

[01:08:49] of like the social network margin call and became a pretty big name producer.

[01:08:53] And he was a first showing dot net reader.

[01:08:56] He became friends with us.

[01:08:57] And so margin call premiered at Sundance and we went to the premiere just for work.

[01:09:02] But he also invited us to the after party.

[01:09:05] Nice.

[01:09:05] And so everyone was there.

[01:09:07] And so like he specifically went out of his way to introduce us to Kevin Spacey at the

[01:09:11] time, which was before.

[01:09:12] Right.

[01:09:12] A big blow up.

[01:09:14] But yeah.

[01:09:14] And so like and what was actually really cool was Kevin Spacey looks like he would smell

[01:09:18] like cigarettes.

[01:09:19] He didn't.

[01:09:20] OK.

[01:09:21] But I feel like Old Spice.

[01:09:23] Also, another thing.

[01:09:25] So obviously because Demi Moore is in the movie.

[01:09:27] It's Demi.

[01:09:29] And Ashton Kutcher was obviously a big part.

[01:09:32] At this time, I had a strange connection with Ashton Kutcher because Scientology.

[01:09:37] He started following me on Twitter at like Twitter's like ultimate.

[01:09:40] He was the first one to hit a million followers.

[01:09:42] He was a big deal.

[01:09:43] Eight plus something.

[01:09:44] Yeah.

[01:09:45] A plus K.

[01:09:45] And I connected with him on Twitter on this time when he was doing that.

[01:09:48] And so at a time he was shooting a movie overseas.

[01:09:51] He was up early in the morning when I was up early working over summer.

[01:09:54] And I would reply him just being funny.

[01:09:56] And he literally responded.

[01:09:58] He was like, he's like, dude, you're funny.

[01:09:59] And he followed me.

[01:10:00] And because of that, all of a sudden, like, oh, my God, because everyone that that celebrities

[01:10:05] were following at the time, people were like, oh, we have to follow these people.

[01:10:07] Yeah.

[01:10:11] Yeah.

[01:10:13] It's a weird surreal thing.

[01:10:14] So yeah, margin call.

[01:10:14] And then did you talk about that?

[01:10:16] Like, I'm that guy?

[01:10:16] No.

[01:10:17] Yeah.

[01:10:17] A hundred percent.

[01:10:18] I'm that funny guy.

[01:10:19] I'm the funny guy.

[01:10:20] I'm the funny guy.

[01:10:21] I at replied you a few times and you really did respond.

[01:10:24] That was awesome.

[01:10:25] But yeah, so that was a good night for old Brad.

[01:10:27] Do you get to hang out with Bruce Willis at all?

[01:10:30] Is it awkward?

[01:10:31] Like, is it awkward?

[01:10:32] What's that?

[01:10:33] He's having some weird memory issues?

[01:10:34] Wow.

[01:10:34] Is it weird that your dick's been in the same place as John McClane?

[01:10:39] Did you try fists with your toes?

[01:10:41] Did you say try fists with your toes?

[01:10:43] Yeah.

[01:10:43] Did you try fists with your toes?

[01:10:45] Why did you go there?

[01:10:46] That's the thing from Die Hard.

[01:10:48] Fists with your toes?

[01:10:49] Yeah.

[01:10:49] That's how the guy on the plane tells him you make fists with your toes to relax.

[01:10:53] Oh.

[01:10:54] Sippy, you made it weird because it was like a sex thing.

[01:10:56] Exactly.

[01:10:56] That was the joke.

[01:10:58] Yeah.

[01:11:00] A little A to D there.

[01:11:01] You know, a little too much of a jump.

[01:11:03] A to de me.

[01:11:04] No, I like that one a lot and I'm not going to laugh, but that's pretty good.

[01:11:08] That's pretty good, Brad.

[01:11:09] All right.

[01:11:10] Do we have time for trailers?

[01:11:12] Sure.

[01:11:13] Why not?

[01:11:14] We watched a couple trailers.

[01:11:16] We did.

[01:11:16] The first one.

[01:11:17] Wait, do you want to hear the trailer song?

[01:11:19] Oh, yeah.

[01:11:20] Do.

[01:11:20] Not only do I want to hear a trailer song, I want it to be good.

[01:11:23] This is going to be my favorite trailer song because I'm going to allow Humor Bot 2.0 to

[01:11:26] do it.

[01:11:27] Oh, no.

[01:11:28] A guest.

[01:11:28] We have a guest.

[01:11:30] Humor Bot 2.0 trailer song.

[01:11:32] Take one.

[01:11:34] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

[01:11:36] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

[01:11:38] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

[01:11:40] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

[01:11:41] Trailer.

[01:11:44] You were back.

[01:11:46] You could probably hear the look on my face.

[01:11:50] It's hard.

[01:11:51] Charlie is so heavy.

[01:11:53] If for no other reason, I just made Charlie's whole fucking month.

[01:11:57] It's so hard.

[01:11:57] You were about to be my new favorite.

[01:11:58] On one hand, I hate it.

[01:12:03] On the other hand, pretty cute.

[01:12:06] On the other hand, damn it, do I respect it.

[01:12:09] He made a choice and he followed his heart.

[01:12:12] And he followed it through.

[01:12:13] And you know what we didn't have to do?

[01:12:15] Six minutes of arguing with him to do the trailer song.

[01:12:17] That's true.

[01:12:17] If anything, I appreciate the ambition and the effort more than anything.

[01:12:20] So what trailers did we talk about?

[01:12:23] The first one we'll talk about is the first trailer for Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning.

[01:12:27] Mission Impossible 16.

[01:12:29] You're right.

[01:12:30] This is the ninth, I think.

[01:12:34] Is it the ninth?

[01:12:35] That's insane to think about.

[01:12:36] But yeah, I believe that Dead Reckoning was eight.

[01:12:39] Yes.

[01:12:40] All right.

[01:12:40] We've got Mission Impossible, Mission Impossible 1996, Mission Impossible 2, Mission Impossible 3,

[01:12:47] Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol.

[01:12:48] Let's see if we can do them.

[01:12:49] Mission Impossible.

[01:12:50] Rogue Nation.

[01:12:50] Rogue Nation.

[01:12:51] Mission Impossible.

[01:12:51] Mission Impossible.

[01:12:52] Mission Impossible.

[01:12:53] Mission Impossible.

[01:12:53] Then seven is?

[01:12:54] Dead Reckoning.

[01:12:55] Part one.

[01:12:56] So this is eight.

[01:12:57] Okay.

[01:12:57] And then the final Reckoning.

[01:12:59] And so Dead Reckoning was initially called Dead Reckoning Part One.

[01:13:01] And so you would assume that this would be Dead Reckoning Part Two.

[01:13:04] But I think that they realized giving the first movie a part one title made people a little

[01:13:08] like, we'll wait.

[01:13:09] Right.

[01:13:10] And so, but the fact that this is called the final Reckoning, I'm wondering, based on some of

[01:13:14] the things you see in the trailer, how much of this is really going to actually

[01:13:18] be a final outing for Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt?

[01:13:21] Because it does feel like it's pulling in some different things from the previous movies.

[01:13:25] They literally showed the knife from the very first film.

[01:13:29] They did.

[01:13:30] If they're doing a trailer like this, you're kind of blowing your load here.

[01:13:34] You can't do this again next time and say, now we're going to bring everybody in.

[01:13:37] Right.

[01:13:38] You're exactly right.

[01:13:39] It feels very final.

[01:13:40] Now, or very final.

[01:13:43] The other thing about this is Tom Cruise is not a young man, right?

[01:13:46] And so to hang out of a biplane or whatever the fuck he's going to be doing this time at

[01:13:49] 60 years old, I don't know what.

[01:13:51] He's close to 70, I think.

[01:13:53] No, he's not.

[01:13:53] No, for real.

[01:13:54] He's not.

[01:13:55] How old is Tom Cruise?

[01:13:56] Tom Cruise is like 64.

[01:13:57] He's 62.

[01:13:58] Close to 30.

[01:13:59] Close to 70, you said?

[01:14:01] Close to 30.

[01:14:01] You said close to 70.

[01:14:02] And you were being honest.

[01:14:03] I wasn't.

[01:14:03] You were being earnest.

[01:14:04] No, but he's 62.

[01:14:06] So he filmed this when he was 61, whatever.

[01:14:08] I mean, that's an old man doing these stunts.

[01:14:10] I mean, Mike Tyson was in the ring at 58.

[01:14:12] We're like, I don't know.

[01:14:13] You should be doing this.

[01:14:14] In the trailer, I made a joke and it landed for us pretty well.

[01:14:18] I'm really glad you told the people that it landed.

[01:14:20] Because they would have been worried.

[01:14:21] No, no.

[01:14:21] Because I'm going to say it and you're not going to laugh because you've already heard

[01:14:24] the joke.

[01:14:24] And so I'm just trying to set up like this did work.

[01:14:26] He's trying to let me know that we did laugh at one point.

[01:14:29] So there is a scene.

[01:14:31] You were about 1.0.

[01:14:31] By the way.

[01:14:32] Yeah, where was 1.0, by the way?

[01:14:34] This is how to make a joke unfunny.

[01:14:38] Anyway, there is a scene in the trailer where Tom Cruise is running down a plane that is

[01:14:43] taking off.

[01:14:44] And I said for the first time, it looks like, oh, no, he can't catch it.

[01:14:47] But it's just because he's old.

[01:14:51] Thanks, Charlie.

[01:14:53] But it does look like.

[01:14:54] And to Nate's point, he was like, Tom Holland is going to catch that plane.

[01:14:58] You know, like we don't believe him as much anymore as being the guy that could technically

[01:15:03] not me save the world.

[01:15:04] I don't believe in Tom Cruise.

[01:15:05] It just he's he looks old.

[01:15:07] You know, he's shown his age and that's fine.

[01:15:09] He's an older guy.

[01:15:10] Yeah.

[01:15:11] Do you know what I don't like about this film already?

[01:15:13] You couldn't run to catch a tank.

[01:15:14] I don't run to donuts.

[01:15:18] But I do not run.

[01:15:20] But there's a thing I really don't like about this film that I just discovered.

[01:15:23] Tom Cruise.

[01:15:24] Well, you know, I don't like Tom Cruise.

[01:15:25] But like another thing, this film has a budget of four hundred million dollars.

[01:15:31] Is that without marketing?

[01:15:32] That makes me angry.

[01:15:33] Without marketing.

[01:15:34] Like that genuinely makes me angry.

[01:15:36] It is an outrageous budget.

[01:15:37] But at the same time, at least you can see where the budget went in a movie like this.

[01:15:41] Because doing.

[01:15:42] Four hundred million.

[01:15:43] Four hundred freaking million.

[01:15:45] Doing the stunts that they that they are able to pull off.

[01:15:48] They were in jets in Maverick.

[01:15:50] In jets with cameras.

[01:15:52] And it didn't cost four hundred million dollars.

[01:15:53] This is a biplane that you can get at La Porte Airport.

[01:15:57] Yeah, but it's an artifact.

[01:15:59] So it costs more.

[01:16:00] This is our complaint.

[01:16:01] Why are you defending Tom Cruise?

[01:16:02] I don't even.

[01:16:03] Always defending the millionaires.

[01:16:04] Yeah, what is it with you?

[01:16:05] I like the one percent.

[01:16:08] Milk?

[01:16:09] You do love one percent milk.

[01:16:11] I do love one percent milk.

[01:16:12] We've talked about this before though.

[01:16:13] It's thicker than skim.

[01:16:14] Not as thick as two.

[01:16:16] Don't talk about thickness of the skim and the milk.

[01:16:18] Just creamy enough.

[01:16:19] I will literally throw up.

[01:16:20] If you talk about the thickness of the skim.

[01:16:23] God, milk.

[01:16:26] But the cost of films pisses me off a little bit.

[01:16:29] No, that's fair.

[01:16:30] I do agree that people are like, well, this wasn't a success because it only made half

[01:16:34] a million dollars.

[01:16:35] Well, yeah, because the budget is...

[01:16:37] Don't spend so much.

[01:16:38] Exactly.

[01:16:38] And that just drives me crazy.

[01:16:39] Especially when you can make 100 films for four million.

[01:16:42] And I bet you 20 of them would be excellent, right?

[01:16:45] It was the same problem with Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny.

[01:16:47] If they would have pulled the budget back by half, then they still could have made

[01:16:51] a good Indiana Jones movie.

[01:16:52] And it's still a freaking huge budget.

[01:16:53] 200 million would still be a huge budget.

[01:16:55] Yeah, exactly.

[01:16:56] But no, I'm very excited for this movie.

[01:16:58] There's one very specific detail that I am super intrigued by and it ties into the kind

[01:17:03] of legacy referring back to sequels thing.

[01:17:05] There's a shot in here where Tom Cruise is reaching for the rabbit's foot, which is the

[01:17:10] device that was the MacGuffin in Mission Impossible 3.

[01:17:13] Which is your favorite Mission Impossible.

[01:17:15] It's not my favorite Mission Impossible, but I love it more than most people do.

[01:17:17] I think it's very good.

[01:17:19] But so that shot is not from Mission Impossible 3.

[01:17:23] And if you look in the background, that looks like a digitally de-aged Tom Cruise.

[01:17:28] And so I'm very curious as to what the impact of...

[01:17:31] Do you think they'll throw in Philip Seymour Hoffman?

[01:17:33] No, I don't think so.

[01:17:34] As a digital de-aged...

[01:17:36] But what's interesting about that scene is in Mission Impossible 3, you don't see how

[01:17:42] he gets the rabbit's foot because he goes into the building and then there's a time jump

[01:17:48] because the team is waiting for him to exit in the parachute.

[01:17:51] And then you just see him jump out the window.

[01:17:53] So I'm wondering what they're going to show in that sequence that ties into whatever happens

[01:17:57] in Final Reckoning.

[01:17:58] It's a very Rogue One movie.

[01:18:00] Yeah.

[01:18:00] Yep.

[01:18:00] They fill in the little blank.

[01:18:02] Yeah, I'm really interested in that.

[01:18:03] You like that little Star Wars reference, Charlie?

[01:18:04] I saw that.

[01:18:05] Tom Cruise's last time playing...

[01:18:07] I honestly think it could be because Tom Cruise says it's not.

[01:18:10] Sure.

[01:18:11] Just because he's like, if they want to pay me $100 million to learn how to fly in outer

[01:18:17] space...

[01:18:17] But at his point, if Harrison Ford can still play Indiana Jones...

[01:18:20] At 78.

[01:18:21] I mean...

[01:18:22] Well, but he just finished.

[01:18:23] You know what I mean?

[01:18:24] So we got another 17 years with Tom Cruise playing Mission Impossible guy.

[01:18:28] The rumor going around was that Tom Cruise, whenever it happens, would like Glenn Powell to

[01:18:33] step up and take over the Mission Impossible franchise.

[01:18:36] Okay.

[01:18:36] I'm okay with that.

[01:18:38] Me too.

[01:18:38] But also, I think my hesitation is that I'm not sure if Mission Impossible as a franchise

[01:18:44] is as appealing if you don't have...

[01:18:47] Tom Cruise.

[01:18:47] Not only Tom Cruise, but that crux of doing dangerous stunts in reality.

[01:18:52] Well, maybe Glenn Powell's down for it.

[01:18:53] He's not.

[01:18:54] He actually specifically said that he...

[01:18:56] And I don't blame him.

[01:18:57] I think he said that.

[01:18:58] He's like, yeah, my mom's not going to let me do that.

[01:19:00] That's really funny.

[01:19:01] And I don't blame him.

[01:19:02] Why would you do him?

[01:19:03] One thing I do like about this film series is finally there's a guy that has aged into

[01:19:12] just normal life.

[01:19:13] Me and Ving Rhames are on the exact same trajectory as far as getting older and fatter.

[01:19:18] And he just looks like shit.

[01:19:20] And I'm here to say, I look like shit.

[01:19:22] I appreciate that.

[01:19:23] They've got a normal guy in with the Cruiserverse.

[01:19:27] I'm just saying, let's be kind to Ving Rhames.

[01:19:30] He doesn't look like shit.

[01:19:32] Time has not been kind to Ving Rhames.

[01:19:33] He's 65.

[01:19:34] I don't think it's been unkind.

[01:19:35] He's just a big boy.

[01:19:37] I mean, what's going to happen if you do the voiceover for Arby's?

[01:19:42] We have the diabetes.

[01:19:44] That's what it's going to sound like.

[01:19:45] We have the sweats.

[01:19:47] Yeah.

[01:19:48] Meat sweats, we've got them.

[01:19:49] Of course we do.

[01:19:50] Meat sweats, you want them.

[01:19:51] But yeah, so I'm always down for the new Mission Impossible.

[01:19:54] I'm very excited to see what happens.

[01:19:56] What I'm not excited for is the other trailer that we talked about, which is the first trailer

[01:20:00] for the live action remake of How to Train Your Dragon.

[01:20:04] Holy shit.

[01:20:06] Just when you thought the Disney remakes were too lifeless, here comes How to Train Your

[01:20:11] Dragon.

[01:20:11] I said it when we watched it.

[01:20:14] You have the exact same dragon, basically, because it's an animated dragon.

[01:20:18] Yeah.

[01:20:18] And now you're just putting a live action person in place of the cartoon.

[01:20:22] It's like an AI filter.

[01:20:23] It's weird.

[01:20:23] It's just weird.

[01:20:24] It doesn't need to be done.

[01:20:25] The fact that they took the exact same character design for Toothless and just added photorealistic

[01:20:31] skin and eyes is very unsettling.

[01:20:34] I don't know why you don't try to change it a little bit.

[01:20:37] Make it like a real looking dragon.

[01:20:39] Yeah, make it look dangerous.

[01:20:40] And here's the thing, and this just goes to show you how shitty the other side of this

[01:20:45] is that I'm sure they didn't because they've heard the complaints about how weird it is

[01:20:48] watching photorealistic lions and African animals talk in the Lion King live action remake,

[01:20:53] you know, or any of the Disney ones that have talking animals.

[01:20:56] And so they're like, well, let's keep the cartoonish aspect and just make everything else

[01:20:59] that realistic.

[01:20:59] But like, it doesn't make it any better.

[01:21:01] It just further shows, especially when you're doing the exact same shot compositions.

[01:21:06] Like, what are you doing?

[01:21:07] What's the point of this?

[01:21:08] That's the thing.

[01:21:08] Who is this for?

[01:21:09] There's no point to this except for to make money.

[01:21:12] Yeah.

[01:21:12] There's nothing original here.

[01:21:15] It's a carbon copy, but just with live action.

[01:21:18] So what are we doing?

[01:21:19] I wouldn't hate this film if it was an original story.

[01:21:22] Exactly.

[01:21:23] Like, I wouldn't hate this if, or just even a reimagining of the first story because you

[01:21:30] need to introduce these characters.

[01:21:31] But this is a cover band.

[01:21:33] Yeah.

[01:21:34] Why is a cover band playing the exact same song when the original exists still?

[01:21:38] Yeah.

[01:21:38] So why?

[01:21:38] And it's not a good version.

[01:21:39] And again, it's not even like you're redoing a historic film or an old film like Lady and

[01:21:45] the Tramp like they did, where they're taking an old cartoon and making it live action.

[01:21:49] And getting rid of the racist Siamese cats.

[01:21:51] But this is a film from like 2010 that they're redoing as a live action film.

[01:21:55] It's just weird.

[01:21:56] This film isn't old enough.

[01:21:58] It just doesn't need to be done.

[01:22:00] And it also doesn't have any color, apparently.

[01:22:02] Because that's what you do when you do live action remakes.

[01:22:04] It's like, yeah, let's get rid of the colors that made the animated movies so cool.

[01:22:07] Really monochrome.

[01:22:07] Yeah.

[01:22:08] Zack Snyder got involved.

[01:22:10] I am not excited for this at all.

[01:22:12] I would rather just watch How to Train Your Dragon.

[01:22:14] Well, ended with this, what are you excited for?

[01:22:15] What's coming up in the holiday season that the people should be watching?

[01:22:18] What movies are coming out?

[01:22:19] By the way, there's one thing you're going to be excited about.

[01:22:20] Oh, no.

[01:22:21] What the fuck?

[01:22:21] What the hell?

[01:22:23] He dropped his drink.

[01:22:23] Why do you do this?

[01:22:24] Are you serious?

[01:22:25] Just a little bit.

[01:22:27] You know what you're going to be excited about, though?

[01:22:28] In this film, the only good thing about this?

[01:22:30] Tell me.

[01:22:32] Julian Dennison's in it.

[01:22:34] Yeah, but even that's not enough to...

[01:22:36] Oh, but he was so good in Y2K.

[01:22:37] For those who don't know, Julian Dennison is the kid from Hunt for the Wilder People who has now grown up.

[01:22:41] We didn't mention him for Y2K, but he is...

[01:22:43] He is very funny in Y2K.

[01:22:44] And there is a scene in Y2K that he just steals.

[01:22:48] Yes.

[01:22:49] And he's also in Deadpool 2, if those previous references didn't work for you.

[01:22:53] But when you go to Y2K, you're going to see a scene with him in it.

[01:22:57] And you're going to go, oh, that's...

[01:22:58] With a great 2000s throwback.

[01:23:01] So going back to my point, what should people be excited to see, Brad?

[01:23:04] What's coming out?

[01:23:06] Y2K.

[01:23:06] Y2K, actually.

[01:23:07] People should be very excited to see that.

[01:23:08] Okay, fair enough.

[01:23:09] What else is...

[01:23:10] I mean, Moana 2 is in theaters right now, and we're getting into awards season.

[01:23:15] I'm surprised you haven't seen Wicked yet.

[01:23:17] I was going to, but...

[01:23:18] I've heard great things.

[01:23:19] Holy crap.

[01:23:20] The first weekend was so big at the box office, I tried to look to see...

[01:23:24] Because I wanted to go see it in Portage, where the theater's better.

[01:23:26] And there was only front row or single seats for almost every showing on Sunday, which is

[01:23:32] when I was going to see it.

[01:23:33] Everyone I know is going to see this film.

[01:23:35] So I will see it soon.

[01:23:37] And I'm curious to see how it is, because I've heard mostly good things, some mixed things,

[01:23:41] and I'm interested to see how good it actually is.

[01:23:44] But yeah, otherwise, there's not really a big other holiday release that I'm looking forward to.

[01:23:49] Mufasa?

[01:23:50] Like I said, there's not really another big holiday release that I'm looking forward to.

[01:23:55] When does Dead Reckoning or Final Reckoning come out?

[01:23:57] Dead Reckoning doesn't come out until next July, I think.

[01:24:00] Oh, so it's next year.

[01:24:01] Yeah.

[01:24:01] Okay, gotcha.

[01:24:02] Well, nothing to look forward to.

[01:24:03] I guess stop the podcast.

[01:24:04] May 23rd, the final...

[01:24:05] There you go, May.

[01:24:06] There you go.

[01:24:06] Okay.

[01:24:07] Birthday.

[01:24:08] Birthday, Charlie.

[01:24:09] Charlie Birthday times.

[01:24:11] But yeah, that's the show, I think.

[01:24:13] You know, we...

[01:24:14] We did it.

[01:24:14] We covered all the bases.

[01:24:15] We did it.

[01:24:17] Thanks for listening, as always.

[01:24:18] And like, subscribe, ask questions on Facebook, send us messages.

[01:24:23] I just...

[01:24:23] I love you guys, listeners.

[01:24:25] You're my favorite people in the entire world.

[01:24:26] Brad might not respect you if this is the only show that you listen to, but I do.

[01:24:31] I'd like to also thank Demi Moore for her kindness.

[01:24:34] Yes, to me.

[01:24:34] To me.

[01:24:35] Mm-hmm.

[01:24:35] Yeah.

[01:24:37] Charlie Young, thank you so much for being here.

[01:24:38] We love you, buddy.

[01:24:39] We love you, love you, love you.

[01:24:41] Humorbot.

[01:24:41] Humorbot, two point.

[01:24:42] Ben, thanks for Crocodile.

[01:24:43] Well done, T.

[01:24:44] You're very welcome.

[01:24:45] Yeah.

[01:24:45] You're very welcome.

[01:24:46] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[01:24:46] Yeah, I got 90 minutes.

[01:24:48] It's not coming back to me.

[01:24:49] And Brad, thanks for the film you gave me that I still can't remember the name of.

[01:24:53] Well, take us out there, Humorbot 2.0.

[01:24:55] Bye, everybody.

[01:24:57] Bye.

[01:25:04] Nah, cheating, eh?

[01:25:05] Bye.

[01:25:05] Bye.

[01:25:06] Bye.

[01:25:06] 만�stitch.

[01:25:06] Thank you.
