Episode 236 - Shining Time Station: World War II

[00:00:00] Hey everybody! It's another episode of... Oh, fuck you! You know... No, keep this in. You've done this the last 19 fucking shows where you mimic me, you mouth what I'm saying but you have this pretentious look on your face. And I fucking hate it. Actually, the rest of the time I'm doing it I'm not mocking you. I'm just going along with it. This time I was mocking you for sure. You know your face is stupid. This time it was. I'm Ben Konowitz and with me is this fucking stupid ass motherfucker Brad. Hey that's me! What I was gonna say is welcome to the show everybody. My name is Ben Konowitz and with me is this fucking stupid ass motherfucker Brad. Hey that's me! What I was gonna say is... Welcome to the show everybody. My name is Ben Konowitz and with me is this fucking stupid ass motherfucker Brad.

[00:00:29] me as always is the Quibi to my Apple TV Plus Bradford Roman. Hey, that's me. Quick bites. And you know what, Nate? You're my Disney Plus. You have ESPN. You have Hulu. You've got so much more to offer and you're almost as good as Apple TV Plus. However, Quibi is dead to me. Also, by the way, Disney Plus does not by default have Hulu and ESPN Plus. You have to have the triple bundle. I have that. Yeah, but Disney Plus is not by default.

[00:01:00] What did you say you were? Apple TV Plus. And you think that's the best streaming service? I mean, it's the best show. I would argue it is the best show right now. I think for quality... Percentages, yes. As far as quality, yes. Overall content, no. But percentage of good shows compared to overall shows, it's got to be. The only problem is nobody's watching them. Because they're not putting any money into their marketing. I don't think they are, though. Brad, let me just tell you something. Apple doesn't know how to market.

[00:01:28] This is our industry, all right? TV and film. All right, well, let's get off to a good start. By the way, listeners, right before the podcast started, I had to talk with these two because we've got Captain Groucho Marx over here. What does that mean? Because he's doing comedy? Yeah, it's like Grumpasaurus was doing comedy. He's just angry tonight. He's fighting us on everything. He's been wrong a lot and he won't admit it. You're saying stupid shit. It's going to be one of those episodes.

[00:01:58] And I apologize in advance. By the way, first time ever, I cut myself off saying, I don't even know if this is going to get posted. Yeah, we don't know. I think we're going to start a different podcast. Me and Nate are, actually. We don't need to talk to you about that. Oh, no, that's fine. I can get rid of this dead weight and finally have to get some ratings. It's going to be Go Flix Yourself. The only F part of the show was you. So we're going to drop the F. Yeah, that makes sense. You know what? Go ahead.

[00:02:26] Honestly, I can't wait to see how this goes. It was as bad as his joke. What was the joke you made earlier? It was terrible. It's a pretty good joke. I didn't make a joke. Yeah, yeah, we know. No, we were up around the table. Oh, yeah. What was the joke? Oh, man. I know this is off and inside baseball. It was fucking terrible, though. It was going from phlebotomist to lobotomist. Oh, yeah. I said Ashley's background. She's a phlebotomist. And he goes, Why did you try to be a lobotomist? But he thought it was so funny. He gave me that look. He was looking at us like, Why are they laughing? Guys, isn't that funny? Isn't that funny?

[00:02:56] Like a lobotomist compared to a phlebotomist. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Did you do an edible? No. Wow. Okay, well. I just have golden jokes. That was your time to be like, This is my excuse. Because I would have been like, Oh. I don't need no excuse. The joke was good. That's usually when he gets like, Like giggly. I'm sorry you guys don't appreciate good wordplay. Did you at least bring a sponsor? Yeah. And I don't think you deserve it. Okay, great. Let's play a game then. But you're going to get anywhere. Okay. I thought we'd get through there.

[00:03:25] Guys, I don't know about you, But I'm fucking amped for game days. That's the biggest descriptor When I tell my friends that don't know you. What's Brad like? I'm like, Loves that college football. He gets amped for game days. I don't care whether it's pro football, College football. Three more. Football in the yard. Name two more. Soccer football. Okay, name one more. Nintendo football. All very valid responses. Oh, Tecmo Super Bowl. I love Tecmo. Tecmo Bowl. Jesus. No, no, no, no. You guys are so fucking nerdy.

[00:03:54] Tecmo Bowl was before Tecmo Super Bowl. Yes, that's true. NFL Blitz. I love me some NFL Blitz. Actually, this is a great game. Yeah, it's a phenomenal game. But I've been getting jammed for just watching my team go and score on some points. You've been getting jammed. Are you a Notre Dame fan? You're not a Notre Dame fan. You're a Purdue fan. He's not a fan of anything, Nate. He doesn't watch these things. Boiler up! He doesn't know anything. Woo, woo! Here comes the Boiler Mega Express. Chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga, fuck you! He doesn't know what that means. Yeah, I do.

[00:04:24] It's our train. It's our friend. Anyway, no, I am pumped for the big game. Brad, when the big game comes up and there's a quarterback and he's at the one yard line but he's going the other way. He has to go 99 more yards to score. And he drops back and he's got the ball in his hands. He's in the end zone and he gets tackled in the end zone, in his own end zone. That's called a safety. How many points is that worth? It's two or three, isn't it? I need an answer.

[00:04:54] I'm going to say three. It's worth two. Okay, that was close though. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm just trying to give you an idea of Brad's earnest understanding. How often does the safety happen? Not very often, honestly. So I wouldn't expect the most normal person to know that, but someone who gets excited about game day. It's one of only, I'd say... A hundred rules that you need to know to follow football? No, it's only four ways to score a point, though. So that's why. I like football. What's your point? It's just one of the four main scoring methods. Right, but I didn't... So you don't know much about sports.

[00:05:25] Guys, I don't know about you, but I'm super knowledgeable about sports. But you did start off by saying what? I'm getting so amped about game day. Okay. Not the same thing. Fair enough. Yeah. I mean, if you tell me, oh man, I love cheeseburgers. Oh yeah, how do you cut the meat off of a cow? Yeah, so fuck you, numbnuts. Oh my god. All right. You know what? I'm sorry. You crushed my game day hopes and dreams. That's all I gotta say. Who are you at? Notre Dame or Ohio State next week?

[00:05:55] Neither. Purdue. All the way. Okay. I mean, Nate, you're a Notre Dame fan. I'm a season ticket holder, yeah. I'm guessing that you really like the odds? No. Okay. No. Don't look at the bag. Don't look at the bag. I'm tired of you always telling us what to do. Start separating these. What are you fucking... I try. No, I try. What are you fucking... I try, and then you're like, oh, he brought us loose snacks and Ziploc bags. Yeah, but they're like wet. So pick your lane. Okay, here. Stop being so fucking horrible. Pick your lane.

[00:06:24] Yeah, why don't you buy a ZZZ bag? Because I'm not going to buy you a bag of something. You're going to have one crunch chip, and then you're like, oh, this tastes like a butthole. And then you don't eat it. I'm not wasting my money on your bullshit. You're getting better stuff. Don't look at the fucking bag, you piece of shit. Don't look at the bag. Don't look at... Don't even fuck at you. I'm so sick of this shit. That's very good. I like that a lot. It's some sort of McRib. That's what it tastes like. It's some sort of McRib.

[00:06:55] I'm still angry, but it's good. Nate's already going for seconds. That is good. That is good. Wait, don't go so quickly. Don't look at the bag either. I said it's a McRib. I'm not joking. You think it's McRib? Hey, Nate, stop reading, bitch. I'm not reading. He's looking at the bag. I'm literally trying to grab more, and he took them. Then don't stare at the bag. Because I only get one chance to eat one, and you do two, and then we have to guess, and then you get more. But you can't have the whole bag and be like, you know what? Finally, I've decided what my palate is. It's not a McRib. Go on.

[00:07:24] What kind of rib is it? I like the idea of it being ribs. But a McRib is oddly specific. I'm going to say barbecue ribs. Just in general. Well, you definitely got the first part right, as we could all guess. It's basically a McRib. It's barbecue pulled pork. These are barbecue pulled pork. Easily confused for a McRib in chip form. These are hers. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[00:07:54] You son of a. He finally brings a good one. You sent it back to him. These are hers game day flavors. Carolina style. Hers? Hers chips. H-E-R-R. Carolina style barbecue pulled pork. Where'd you get them? I got them at Dollar Tree. Oh. Were they a dollar? They were a dollar 25, I think. Those are good. They're delicious. I'll let you have some more later. I don't want to hear you crunching. Exactly. I don't know.

[00:08:22] See, but then you do it, and you're really going to drive him up a wall, buddy. Who? Him. No, he'll be all right. Well. Another episode of Go Flakes. I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to be munching on these my next game day when I'm watching my team charge. Oh, my God. Football's almost over. What do you think? Who do you think is going to be the next Bears coach? I don't know. Probably like. Sal Thicklestein. Yeah. Sal, he's been doing a good job lately. And so I feel like if anyone's going to take him to the top, it's going to be him.

[00:08:51] He's coming up from D4, the Orlando Werfherders. And honestly, it's looking good for old Sal. He picked up a great high school student, and he really turned him into a treasure. And I think that he can do the same thing with the Bears. Nate, thoughts? All right. Moving on. He doesn't want to do improv with us, I guess. Fine. Yes, and. There's just nothing there. Wow. I'm mad. I'm pretty sure he's just in a bad mood. Yeah.

[00:09:20] And he's kind of projecting. But now I am. He's not even yes anding. He's just mad. Or nobody. He's just going, fuck you. That's exactly what it is. You took away the chips. And honestly, I'm pretty sure that's what it is. I think that's what it is. You took away my chips, and now. Your chips. Yeah. Yeah, they're my chips. You gave them to me. No, I didn't give them to you. I said, try these. Did they come my way? Is that what you think is yours? Yeah. So then if the offering plate comes by you at church, that's yours? We don't do an offering plate. It's 2025. But you know what I'm saying. No.

[00:09:50] You know what I'm saying. No, we do online giving. We pass around a QR code. Yeah, exactly. Like normal human beings. So when people get appetizers. You think people walk around with cash? What are you, my dad? So when people get appetizers, you think that they're just for you when they reach you, and nobody else gets any? It depends on the appetizer. If everybody's had their fill. If I'm the last, because right now I'm the last in the line. Makes sense, actually. So I would be like, yeah, no, everyone's had some. I'll take whatever's left. Yes. And that's a very giving way of looking at it. You're a very good person. The last will be first. It's Jesus.

[00:10:19] Meek will inherit the chips. I think Frank Bankheimer is going to be a good coach, too. Frank Bankheimer? Mm-hmm. He's got the goods. Okay. I got a game. Name one. I think Charlie Young, Alex Pappas, and Mitch. I think those three specifically like it. The three listeners.

[00:10:48] None of them commented saying, I like the game early in the show. I don't need them to. And we told them to. But I don't need them to. But we told them to. And they didn't. It wasn't important enough to them. By the way, Alex did comment. He didn't comment anything about the games. I say the word film a lot. You did. It was just that episode. I know. But I know. Now he's developed a complex. I do kind of have a complex. I don't know if I should just say the word movie more instead of film. You can vary it. I say keep it what you've been doing because what you're doing is great.

[00:11:18] Yeah, it's whatever. Don't. No, I know. Don't let Alex Pappas dissuade you. I'm in my head about this. Who is Alex Pappas to tell you you can't say the word film? I like Alex though. More than you guys do. I like Alex. Start pronouncing it film. I saw this film. Last week. I saw a talkie. I saw a talkie. Mm-hmm. It's a cinematic adventure. Yeah. Cinematic adventure. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I saw the moving pictures. Yeah. Hey, Ben. Yeah.

[00:11:49] Have you ever seen the show Jeopardy? I have. Do you like Jeopardy? I do. Can we play Jeopardy? I'd love to play Jeopardy. Let's play Jeopardy. What is Jeopardy? Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Let's play a game of Jeopardy. Oh, why? Just wanted to ruin that. Yeah, you did. All right. We're going to watch. I watched a film about somebody. Last week. I saw a film.

[00:12:19] Ends up going to prison. All right? A couple people die. He ends up going to prison. Another person ends up going to prison. I then started researching this, and I was really fascinated by this idea. Turns out prisons really exist. Of films about people that end up in prison. Mm-hmm. Okay? These are real life? Real films. Or inspired by real stories. Right. Based on a true story type of thing. Mm-hmm.

[00:12:45] And so I wanted to play a game called Prison Tales, a go-fix-yourself Jeopardy style game. I love it. And I'm going to give you categories. All right? I'm going to give you categories. Okay. And you pick a category. Sure. And I'll give you the question. But you have to give me the question, or I'll give you the answer. You give me the question in the form of Jeopardy. Right? In the form of Jeopardy. In the form of Jeopardy. I understand everything. Yeah. Thank you. I know how to play Jeopardy. All right. Here's your categories.

[00:13:14] Crime pays until it does it. Ooh. Wall Street woes. Drug Kingpins. Based on a true con. Ooh. Potluck prison. Ooh. Instead of potpourri. Mm-hmm. Okay. We're going to start with Ben. I'll do the con one.

[00:13:44] Based on a true con. Do you want 200, 400, or 600? Oh, it's even that delegated out. I like this. You know what? I'll take it for 200, Nate. Based on a true con for 200. Leonardo DiCaprio cons his way through this Spielberg film as a teenage. Did he did? No. That's how Jeopardy works. That is true. Oh, I thought it was just for me. No, you got to pick the- Oh, but I love Jeopardy.

[00:14:14] I know how to play Jeopardy. You fucking idiot. No, no. I mean, I just thought it was our own version. Yeah, you pick the category and everyone buzzes in. That's fair. I thought that it was our own version. That's fair. That's fair. I was just- You did- That's fair. Because he said Leonardo DiCaprio, I would have said the name of the movie. But you didn't. But you didn't. What is the- You hesitated. I hesitate because I thought it was only for me. They don't allow crosstalking during Jeopardy. I would have just waited. What is- I was trying to be polite, Nate. What is- I'm going to cut you off. Catch me if you can. Correct. 200 points to Brad. Thank you. This is just such bullshit. Thank you because I know how to play Jeopardy.

[00:14:43] Just because I'm too nice. I'm going to delete that one. All right. Moving on. Crime pays until it doesn't. Wall Street woes. Drunk kingpins based on R2K. Potluck prison. By the way, you have 200 points. Keep track of your own points. Yes. I'm going to do Wall Street woes. Okay. Is there a varying category for that one? Two, four, and six. I'll do 400. All right. Here's your question. Or here's the answer. Matt Damon plays this whistleblower who- Boop, boop, boop. Yep.

[00:15:14] What is the informant? Correct. You have 400 points. See how that worked, though? You knew what you're doing. Yeah. Now that I know- By the way- Oh, now that you know. By the way, I feel like Brad's buzzer was a little more accurate to Jeopardy. Give it an example of what that- Boop, boop, boop. Yeah. Can you do something like that? I did beep, beep, beep. Because if it's the same sound, how do you know who we were in it? Yeah, I felt like yours was more like- Yeah, yours does sound like a drunk trumpet.

[00:15:48] All right. All right. So you have 400. Keep track of your points. All right. Give me- Give me another- I'll go same category for 600. What category was it? I forget. The Wall Street Woes. Wall Street Woes for 600. Ewan McGregor portrays this derivatives broker who single-handedly caused the collapse of Bering's Bank.

[00:16:24] You wrote a ton. No, you can- Yeah. Yeah, you can be- What's the sound there? Brr, brr, brr, brr. Dun, dun, dun. The film is called Rogue Traitor from 1999. Yeah, I haven't seen it yet. Wow. Mm-hmm. Yep. So you can pick again, Ben. I'll say the same category for 200. All right. Let's close out the category. Okay. Wall Street Woes, 200. Leonardo da Rocha. Yep. What is the Wolf of Wall Street? Correct. For 200. That's how quick it would have been.

[00:16:54] It would have been. For the other one. It's true. But I just didn't know that that was the rule. Oh, I thought you were talking about on the show. You didn't know what you were talking about, though. All right. So Wall Street Woes is now officially done. So we're down to crime pays until it doesn't, drug kingpins based on a true con. Oh, potluck prison. I'll do it. You know, let's go into the con category. All right.

[00:17:22] Based on true con, four or 600? 400, please. Jessica Chastain. Yep. What is Molly's Game? Correct. All right. Keep track of your points. I don't know how many you have. It's too much math for me. All right. Pick a category. Let's close out the con. All right. Based on true con for 600. Christian Bale and Amy Adams star in this. Ah, shit. What is American Gangster?

[00:17:51] Oh, shit. What is American Hustle? Yes. Way to go, buddy. That's a real real abortion mistake there, you know? Shit. All right. Give me another category. Let's do crime pays until it doesn't for 200. 200. This Boston crime boss was played by Johnny Depp while sporting. Yep. Who is John Dillinger?

[00:18:22] I know. I'm looking for the film. Oh. What is Black Mass? Correct. All right. Sorry. Another category? What was that? Was that for 200 or 400? 200. All right. So, crime pays, drug kingpins, or potluck prison? Potluck prison. For two, four, six? For 600.

[00:18:48] Steve Carell, Brad Pitt, and Christian Bale predict the housing market collapse. Oh, Jesus Christ, Brad Pitt. What is the big short? Correct. All right. Potluck prison, drug kingpins, or crime pays until it doesn't. Drug kingpins for 200. Ray Liotta narrates this score. Did it? What is Goodfellas? Correct. By the way, are you impressed with this game yet? I feel like this is- Yeah, no. It's great. All right.

[00:19:17] We should be physically writing down the scores, though, because I lost one, and I forgot that's negative, so I had to take that off, and I'm like, I don't know how many I've got now. I think I'm winning. All right. You are. All right. I have 2,000. I think I have 400. I'm not joking. I wish you had more than that. No, no. I had 800, but I lost it. Oh, because you got one wrong, too. Yeah. I distracted it. See, I have 800, and I deducted my 400, so I'm back down to 400. Okay.

[00:19:45] So, crime pays until it doesn't, drug kingpins, and potluck prison. I'm going to say drug kingpins for 400. All right. Drug kingpins for 400. Johnny Depp portrays this cocaine- Did it? Yep. What is the movie Traffic? Incorrect. Johnny Depp's not in traffic. He's not? Johnny Depp portrays this cocaine smuggler who helped establish the American connection

[00:20:13] to the Medellin cartel. Oh, what is that movie? I don't remember. This film- Blow! Yep. Oh, shit. Oh, fuck, yeah. It wasn't traffic. It was blow. Wasn't thinking about blow. It's okay. All right. You've got 600 for drug kingpins left. Crime pays until it doesn't. Four in 600.

[00:20:43] Potluck prison, two in 400. Let's close out drug kingpin. All right. For 600 drug kingpins, Denzel Washington plays the- What is American gangster? Correct. Shit. Son of a bitch. All right. Crime pays until it doesn't or potluck prison? Potluck prison. Potluck prison, two or four? Four. Miles Teller and Jonah Hill are- Do-do-do. Fuck. Yeah.

For 200, Robert De Niro runs this Las Vegas casino. Yep. What is casino? Correct. All right. We're doing crime pays until it doesn't. Four in 600. 600.

[00:21:40] Based on the Sun Jim gang, this Michael Bay film features Mark Wahlberg. Yep. What is pain and gain? Correct. Oh, yeah. Forgot all about that one. I like that movie a lot. Crime pays until it doesn't for 400. This arms dealer played by Nicolas Cage. Maybe it. Yep. What is Lord of War? Correct. Nailed it. All right. Final round. Category famous last words.

[00:22:10] Before being sentenced- I'll wager it all. Yep. I figured you would. This real life Wall Street criminal- Oh, yeah. Now, the real rules here, we're not buzzing in, right? We just have to give our answers, right? How are we going to do this? Because you could just say- If I say it, then it's wrong. Well, same at the same time. Okay. Sorry. Sorry, Nate. I'm just trying to figure out logistics because I got fucked over there. You can write down on your phone. The very first question. All right. Go ahead.

[00:22:34] Before being sentenced, this real life Wall Street criminal said to his judge, I have been a fool. I have lost it all. I have disgraced my family. What is the film? Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Can you repeat the question? Yeah. Before being sentenced, this real life Wall Street criminal said to his judge, I have been a fool.

[00:23:04] I have lost it all. I have disgraced my family name. Bum-ba-dum-bum-bum-bum-bum. All right. I wrote it down. What is- Did you write yours down? Yeah. How'd you write it down? Just in the notes. I sent a text. So I'm going to send a text. Oh, wait. You sent me a text? Yeah, I sent you a text. He's asking for the movie. No. Yes, he did. He said the movie. Oh, did he? Yeah, dummy. I thought he said the person. I already had Wolf of Wall Street, so.

[00:23:34] No, I thought he said the person. No, that's not it. And he was never, ever, like- I thought he said- It was always about the movie. I thought he said this person. Yeah, but it was always about the movie. Wait, wait. But the question was, this person? You are correct, though. He did phrase it that way, but he said name the movie. The whole point of the thing was that we're on a film podcast. I did the same thing with the John Dillinger thing. Oh, well, then I'm going to change my answer to the Wolf of Wall Street. No, I assume you knew that. Yeah, it's not Wolf of Wall Street, though. I put down Wall Street. The movie Wall Street. Yeah.

[00:24:03] It is actually Jordan Belfort from the Wolf of Wall Street. Why would you have the same answer? That's ridiculous. Why not? Why not? That's not how Jeopardy works. Guess who won? This game is- Because you did. You risked it all. This game is dog shit. You risked it. See, this is a lesson about risking it. The way you ended it- Was amazing. It was bullshit. It was amazing. And I really would like to compliment the game. One of my favorite games of all time. And for that reason, what's the last movie you saw, buddy? You get to go first. This game's fucking dog shit. Why?

[00:24:33] Final Jeopardy is never the same answer as something else that was already answered. It could have been. I would love to go back to the history of Jeopardy and see if that's ever happened. It might have been. The answer is no. A lot of people are saying right now- A lot of people are saying. People are saying. A lot of people are saying that you're one of those sore losers. A lot of people are saying. You're a sore loser. Brad's going to be a lot of people are saying I really won the game. Nobody. Not even Alex Fabius right now is saying you won the game. I mean, he's probably saying it's a terrible game. I started as a fan of this game. It's not a great game, but it was the game that I had.

[00:25:03] Piss poor. I enjoyed the game very much. Even if I- And to be very honest with you, even if I would have lost at the end, I still would have told you I really liked the game. He did because he wrote down Jordan Belfort as his answer. Yeah, that is true. That is true. That was what I'm thinking about. He literally texted you the answer and it was wrong. Nobody won. I won. But still, the question was this person, and that's why I was answering it. But the whole point of the question was name the movie. He's not. He's not. All right. By the way, I don't know why.

[00:25:30] If Alex Trebek would have said this person and got it and Jordan Belfort as the answer, he would have said yes. That's right. I don't know why I'm doing such a terrible Trump impression right now. Just keep on going with it. Just real gravelly. That's what people are saying. All right. So, I did see a film or movie. A film? Lately that I want to talk about. Okay. It is a movie that I rented called The Order. Put them down. Oh, my God. I bet those chips are delicious. They are.

[00:26:00] Don't do that anymore. Why? It's distracting. For who? They're a listener. Well, they're listening to me. They thought this part of the show was over, their least favorite part, and now you're bringing it back. Their least favorite part. I bet you it is. Their least favorite part is Ben's Corner. Ben's Corner. We don't even do Ben's Corner. The rock side. Whenever you talk, it's Ben's Corner. Ben's Corner. And it's bad. What? I feel personally attacked. You want to hear the theme for Ben's Corner? Yeah. Ben's Corner.

[00:26:30] I was waiting for anything else. I got it. That's pretty good. Ben's Corner. Nate, you watch The Order. All right. So I watched a film called The Order. And apparently, Brad in one of his long diatribes of films that he talks about. I don't know. I'm not joking. There have been times when I've phased out. Yeah. Okay. But let's be clear. It's not just when I have long diatribes of movies.

[00:26:59] There's times when you phase out when we're having a normal conversation and you just choose, no, I don't need to listen to this part. And then you'll repeat what we said three seconds later like it's a new piece of information. It is also very accurate, though, that after the 17th French film, I'm tuning out. Oh, yeah. Because The Order is famously a foreign film that I talked about that no one had ever heard of. And it was really boring. We're talking about in general when you start talking about these all. I don't even remember the last time I talked about a French film. It's probably a lot more recent than you think.

[00:27:28] I'm pretty sure you talked about Chocolat. No, I actually have never seen Chocolat. Well, guess what your assignment next time is going to be. I think you're going to have to talk about a French film. We haven't even done assignments in like a month and a half. It's fine. We've been fine. No, it's been really annoying because you guys are just watching shit. But you have not. Oh, no, no. Hold on. Fuck you. You have not once came up and been like, hey, guys, it's been a while since we've done assignments. Let's do that. You know why? Because whenever I realize it. No, no. No, no. No, no, no. You're blaming us. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:27:57] Whenever I realize it. I think it was Mitch that gave us a film and I'm like, we should watch this film. Yeah. And you guys are like, no, that's dumb. First of all, no, not even close. Why do you make up lies? No. I was like, guys, we should really do this. You're so foolish. I value Mitch. I value Mitch. And you guys are like, I don't want to watch that film if Mitch gave it to us. I'm like, that's dumb, guys. He's just trying to create war. Why are you trying to make America and New Zealand go to war? Here's what I'll have to say about this. Because we're going to take it. Here's what I'm going to say. We'll take it like we take the Panama Canal. And Greenland.

[00:28:28] Here's what I'm going to say. I noticed the last time that Mitch commented, okay, it was pretty brief. And normally, you know, he's a little bit more effusive with his praise. He's a little bit happier. I think that he's a little mad at us, probably, because we didn't. Or no, you know, not mad. Just let down. Well, to be fair, you tried Mitch. The last episode, Nate was praising Lord of the Rings, as was I. And you kind of were shitting on it. No, I was not. I was saying that Mitch gave me praise, as I'm giving him praise now. All I said was don't make him part of the tourist attraction. He's much more than that as a human being.

[00:28:58] You guys are lumping him off. No, he should be proud. He's from New Zealand. He should be proud. He's heard it all before. No, but it's like, you know what? We just did a freaking Prancerpalooza. Like, we're proud of Prancer. He should be even more proud of Lord of the Rings. He is, but I'm sure he's sick of talking about it. You know what? I don't think he is, but I do think his feelings are hurt, because I keep on coming to you guys and saying we should watch this film that Mitch has given us. What's the name of the film, Nate? What's the name of the film? Silverado. No, it's not Silverado. What's the name of the film? That was the last one.

[00:29:28] What's the name of the film, Nate? Silverado was the last one we watched. No, no, Nate, you're so excited, and we've been pushing it so hard. What's the movie, Nate? Don't do this. What's the movie, Nate? Don't do this. Nate, what's the movie you've tried to get us to watch so many times? You know I know the movie. You've texted us so many times about this particular film. Yeah. And the title's in all caps. Yeah. It's all caps and four exclamations. And you've told us so many times that we need to watch it, and we keep telling you, no, what's the movie, Nate? Here's the thing, guys. I watched The Order, which is it.

[00:29:57] Scapegoat over here. We have an Instagram conversation with the four of us, and Mitch is in it, and it's called Mitch's Mistake. And honest to God, that's the most apropos fucking name, because we're so stupid. Mitch, you deserve so much better. It was a mistake for you to be on the show. Come back to America in business sometime. We love you, buddy. We miss you. We've come to our new studio. It's great down here. Brad didn't like it. I do. The reason we haven't done assignments, and why I haven't brought it up, is because it gets around to Wednesday, and I'm like, oh, should we do assignments? And I know if we do assignments. No.

[00:30:27] You're not going to watch it. Nate's going to forget his movie, and I'm going to be the only one talking about assignments. Because this is what you do for a living. You literally just watch movies. That's what you do. What are we going to decide next time? Do you guys want to do it? I think we should do it. I think we should do a mission movie. Okay. All right, yeah. Also- I think we should do a mission movie, and one more. So there's- Don't stop being greedy. See? He doesn't even want to commit. No, because I want to watch other films, too. I watched two films this week that were new films. Hey, when are you going to watch Underwater, Nate? When I watch Waterworld. Mm-hmm.

[00:30:57] Yeah. I'm going to watch them at the same time. Fucking ridiculous. Underwater World. There's one other movie that we need to get together and watch sometime, because long time- No, we're not getting together ever again. Long time listener, Brian, wants us to watch Spice World, ever since we talked about it. But we can't find it. So he has it, and he said that he will give us- He has the physical media? No, no. He has it in his digital library before it disappeared. Oh. And so he said he'll give us access to it. Shout out, Brian. Oh, shit. Very cool.

[00:31:26] And so that we can all watch Spice World together. So we should do it. I'm in. I'm 100% in for that. Yeah, we got to do it at some point. I love me some- I had a big crush. Sporty Spice. Sporty Spice was your crush? No. So sexy. Mine was Baby Spice. Oh, Ginger was mine. Really? Jerry Hallowell or whatever it was? Yeah. Yeah, she's fine. I was all about that. Sporty Spice was so tall and sexy. Emma Bunton is apparently her name. Is apparently her name? Baby Spice. Yeah, no. She did it for me. She was cute. She did it for me. She was- We'd like the whole day in some time.

[00:31:56] Okay, so you watched The Order. Yep. It's a movie about witches. No. You watched the wrong movie. No, this is a film that, Ben, you're going to appreciate. Is this the Cardinal one? No, it's Conkrieg. This is about white supremacy. Good lord, I hate you. More specifically, neo-Nazis. Oh my god. You say a few things online and they get- On the back channels. And they get-

[00:32:25] My screen name gets leaked. They get screenshotted before you take them down because you were drinking a little bit. And then all of a sudden, your favorite guy in the world, Mel Gibson, is a persona non grata in Hollywood. His Reddit username is GoebbelsFoibles. GoebbelsFoibles. You remember that kid show they tried to push back there? Welcome to GoebbelsFoibles. Let's just check in to see if the trains are running on time.

[00:32:51] So anyway, this film is going to be on Amazon Prime, so you don't have to rent it. You certainly can. But it will be on Amazon Prime soon enough. Gosh, what if there was an episode of Shining Time Station where they flashed back to World War II and they had some of the trains that were transporting- Oh no! No, no, no, no. So bad. No, no, no, no. So bad. We're not doing this. I'm not even- Could you imagine? I can't actually. That would be an SNL sketch. I physically cannot imagine that. A stop motion. And honestly, you shouldn't want to either.

[00:33:20] The SNL would do a stop motion SNL sketch with different Thomas the Tank engines. Nope. Nope. You'd have one red train engine. Thomas didn't like his job that day. I didn't want to do it, but it's right there! The caboose is the only red car among the black and white train cars. No! Guys, we got gold here. No. Nate, I promise we'll talk about the order. I don't know if we should. Oh no, no, no. No, so did you like it?

[00:33:50] Because I loved it. Nate wants to leave. He really does. Look at him. I just don't know how to pivot. There's no pivot here. Well, the Nazis. There's a connection. I did love this film. This is a... Sorry, what is this about? Okay. This film is about... By the way, you probably remember when Brad talked about it. You don't at all, actually. And that's not a slam. That's just me not caring. So this is a film starring Jude Law, Nicholas Holt, Ty Sheridan, Journey Smollett.

[00:34:20] And it is... Marc Maron has a small role in this as well. He does. But this is a film based on a true story in the early 80s, 83, I think, where there was a group of white supremacists that I'm pretty sure probably still exist in this part of Idaho, Washington, Oregon, you know, where all the trees are. And they...

[00:34:43] It is about essentially how the FBI and the police catch this guy, this white supremacist, and this group of white supremacists that were even more radical than the regular white supremacists. Yeah. They broke off from like a... We would say like a normal neo-Nazi community and started like their own... They were trying to start a militia and like were planning terrorist attacks.

[00:35:12] There is a normal version of that. Yeah. Well, it is. And that's part of the film is this guy saying you're... Essentially, you're not action-oriented enough. Yeah. Right? I love that meeting, though. Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, we're not going that far. Gosh darn it, Bill. I mean, there's literally a scene with the... Every time you bring this up, it's like, no, we're going to plan a lot first, okay? You can't just go willy-nilly. You know, Leroy Jenkins is running without the team and start killing folk. Can't do it. But at the heart of this film is this...

[00:35:42] It's a study of radicalization, right? Yeah. And I really appreciated how they did this film. It is... It's just very interesting. It does not lag at all. And it's almost two hours, I think? Close. Yeah. It's close to... Does not lag. Jude Law is fantastic in this. Nicholas Holt, always great. Like, the dude just doesn't miss. He doesn't. I just love him so much. He is genuinely one of my favorite actors.

[00:36:13] Love this film. When it comes to Amazon Prime and you see The Order, watch it. It is so good. Yeah. I genuinely love this film. People, unfortunately, have been sleeping on this. Critics haven't been, like, really putting in a lot of, like, lists. And, like, it's not getting a big awards push as far as, like, campaign and stuff like that. But this made my top ten. I did my... And it should because... I did my top ten for Slash Home Daily last week. And it was in there. And it's... This movie is just phenomenal. Films like this also need to have a tone, right? It's hard to do this film.

[00:36:43] Obviously, they've done films about supremacy, about white supremacy. They've done films about radicalization. You know, you think of films like Black Klansman, these kind of things. And they've had these types of films. So, to do it in a way that's interesting, to do it in a way that seems like you haven't seen this film, is unique. And he does. The director, I can't remember who directed it. Justin Curzell. Did a great job. Just really enjoyed this film. And I hope people see it. Yeah, you guys should absolutely see it. Make sure you go out of way to see it.

[00:37:13] The other film I watched, I watched last night with my son, Finley, was a film called Gladiator 2. Okay. Directed by Ridley Scott. Yes. Starring... Paul Mescal. Paul Mescal. Pedro Pascal. Or Paul Mescal, as they say. Paul Mescal. Pedro Pascal. Joseph Quinn. Pedro Pescal. Denzel Washington. This film was good. Yeah.

[00:37:44] Wasn't great. It was good. Exactly. I agree wholeheartedly. That's why I've been putting off watching it. No, don't put it off. It's good. It's fine. Why would I want to see something knowing it's going to be fine? It's better than fine. Yeah, it's better than fine. It's good. You'll be thoroughly entertained while you watch it. It is. It's just not on par with the original Gladiator. Gladiator. I'm not expecting that, but also, if you're going to make a movie and it's not going to be anywhere near that good, it's fine compared to great. I am with you, Ben. I pushed this off as well because I thought the same thing. Yeah. Because unfortunately for them, Gladiator is tremendous.

[00:38:14] It is one of the best films. I love that movie. Which is a high mark to hit, right? Exactly. But this is not that, but it is very good. And it gave me a view of Paul Meskel, who I don't know well. Yeah. And I get it now. Is there a Russell Crowe cameo? No. No, but also, it tells a good story.

[00:38:38] I was obviously looking at the historical connections with the brothers. Joseph Quinn, and I forget who the other person is, play these brothers. Paul Herlitzer, I think is his name. Giamatti. Paul Giamatti. Paul Giamatti. Yep. Paul Walterhauser. Fred Hesinger. Fred Hesinger. Fred Hesinger. You guys were just making up names. No, no. A guy I'd never heard of. Phil Hirschbottom. But they play. Frank Beckenheimer.

[00:39:06] And also, those two, in the running for the Bears head coach position. Yes, absolutely. So they play Emperor Geeta and Emperor Caracalla. Sure. Who are twins. One of them, Emperor Caracalla, who is played by Fred Hesinger, has a mental illness. Syphilis. Syphilis. But that story where he kills Geeta is a real story. Okay. Well, spoilers, guys. I mean, it's a story.

[00:39:36] Yeah, I can remember when you watch it. But also, Morgan Freeman's in this. Does he put him in a Geeta team? Morgan Freeman. Yep. It's just very good. What role did Morgan Freeman play in this? What is his name? I forget. What's his name? I'm sorry. Sorry. Morgan Freeman. Denzel Washington. Okay. Oh, and I'm the racist. Cool. They all look alike. I'm Nate. Cool. Wow. Playing Macroness is Denzel Washington.

[00:40:03] It's so funny, though, because when I was watching this, I didn't know what to do with Denzel Washington as... An old person? Yes. He looked really old in this. Well, he doesn't look really old. No. He definitely looks older than what you're used to seeing, especially compared to the Equalizer. Yeah. We remember him. That's why I think, in my mind, it's Morgan Freeman. It's going to be... Because he is in... He doesn't look that old. No. No, but... But he looks like what Morgan Freeman looked like in Seven, where, you know, like in the 90s, where it's like he's older.

[00:40:31] I don't even want to go that far, because I feel like Morgan Freeman has looked old for like 30 years. Exactly. So 30 years ago was seven. It was 1997. I mean, you're right. But even then, he looked old. I know. And now Denzel Washington looks like that now. Denzel Washington doesn't look like that. That's what I'm saying, though. He does, though. He is starting to look like that. He's starting to look like that. He is starting to look older, but he does not look as old as Morgan Freeman did in Seven. I mean, let's be honest. If we were Denzel Washington's age and we looked as well as he did, we'd be... I saw a photo of him in real life.

[00:40:59] He was at a boxing match, and this was like two years ago, and he had let the gray just kind of take over, and he had a gray goatee, and he looked tired. He was just kind of wearing a jumpsuit, and he's like, the boxing match. Who gives a shit? But all of these people on Twitter were going nuts about how old he looked. He's seven. Because they don't... It was jarring, right? And especially... I was on Reddit and Black Twitter is a subreddit that I'm on, which I probably shouldn't be. What? It's hilarious. But a lot of black people were like, when did we invite Uncle Ray Ray to the cookout?

[00:41:28] That's what he looks like now. And it's like, it's just... I am so used to seeing him in this later stage, bald, right? And shaved goatee, so he looks younger. But the last time that I remember seeing him with hair in a role, I'm thinking of like John Q. And like, you know, Inside Man, right? Wasn't that one that was Spike Lee that he was in? He didn't look old then. And again, that's 20 years ago, though. You know, he's getting up there. He did look a little bit older in Inside Man, though, because I'm pretty sure they gave him some gray in his hair and his mustache.

[00:41:58] But that was like, they tried to make him look even a little bit more advanced than he already was. This is him. He's 70, man. He's an old guy. No, for sure. Yeah. No, it is interesting because Morgan Freeman's, I think, 87 now. Am I boring? Oh, really? Are you fucking kidding me? You are so comfortable that you're not even, we have this thing where you raise your hand and then you just, we have to stop it instead of. First of all, it wasn't that loud. The only reason.

[00:42:28] It was literally. Okay. Nate, no joke. This is how loud it was. Right? Which is a deep inhale on the mic. That just sounds like you breathing. You don't have to take it out. I think this is great. What the fuck was that? I'm not taking it out. What the fuck was that? I'm not taking it out. You want to fart? You want to cough? Anything else? I love farting. Good Lord. Yeah, we know. We remember last week. Yeah, we remember last week. No.

[00:42:58] Leave those fucking, put the tubes down. No, don't do it. You son of a bitch. Shawshank. Morgan Freeman was 57. In 1993. In 94. That's just 10 years older than Ben is now. No, 1993 is when they filmed. Okay, yeah. Okay, so he'd been 56 then, probably. Right. Holy shit. He still looked amazing. Morgan Freeman was 69 when they made Gladiator 2. Nice. No, no. No, not Morgan Freeman. Not Morgan Freeman. Denzel Washington. Good. The fuck? God.

[00:43:28] Nate. It's bad. Look, if you're going to watch movies. Syphilis got to me. He's got this syphilis. But hey. I'm going to start blaming shit on my gout. Yeah, no. Sorry I hit you. I'm going to go gout flare. Got the bad case of the gout. Let's go back to what you're trying to blame gout on. Hitting my kids. Yeah, okay. But what you said, Ben, was a reason why I have not watched this film either. Right.

[00:43:54] The bar, to me, was pretty low because the ratings were fine. The critics liked it. They didn't love it. It's like, why am I going to spend my time on this rather than something else? But do it. Do it. It's worth it. It's worth it. Some of the set pieces alone are great. The opening battle is good. One of the arena scenes is fantastic. Some of the arena scenes, though, I was rolling my eyes. Did they really have sharks? They didn't have sharks, but they did do the water thing in the arena. But they didn't have sharks, which is part of the water.

[00:44:23] Sure, but it's awesome. Better or worse than Troy? I haven't seen Troy, actually. Are you serious? Yeah. It's better. Okay. That says something because I didn't hate Troy. Troy's long, but I didn't hate it. No, it's better. Got anything else you watched? Nope. Nope. That's it. I mean, I'm re-watching some TV stuff, but nothing. Brady Bear, what about you? What are you re-watching? Nope, nope. This is not going to be another two fucking hour episode. It doesn't have to be. What are you re-watching? New Girl. Oh, okay. Cool. That's nice. Hey, did you watch Drinking yet? Is Britney here yet?

[00:44:53] Why do you have to wait for Britney? Did I talk to you about Drinking? Why do you have to wait for Britney? Have I brought it up? Did I say I had watched Drinking yet? Why do you have to wait for Britney? Because we watched the first season together and we love each other. I'm going to. Suits when. Next. Wow. When did she come in? The 16th. So on the 17th, we're just going to text spoilers. Wow. You need us to watch it all night. No, seriously, because I am fucking asshole. So angry at you. Yeah. I'm so angry at you because you don't want to show the first time. You know what? You know what's shrinking? You know what? My patience is shrinking. No, it's your dick. For you to watch shrinking. Your dick shrinking.

[00:45:22] On Apple TV Plus, America's home for high percentage entertainment. That's their slogan. Hey, Brady Bear, what did you watch? What did you watch? Start the process. We've got another hour. Yeah. I watched Le Pond de Vos. Which is a Belgian film. It's a story about a mime who meets a hobo. By the way, that's every French film. So you've got to really delineate. They strike up a relationship on a boxcar.

[00:45:46] And the boxcar is going from Paris to Munich. I was going to say, could you not name another city in France? No, because it's in Europe. There's other countries in Europe. I just thought you couldn't come up with another city like Marseille. No. Okay. Fair enough. So it's the World War II train. That Thomas didn't really want to pull. Right. Gotcha. No, I didn't watch much, but I watched The Beekeeper finally. I hadn't watched it yet. You never watched it? What?

[00:46:16] I didn't watch it. What is wrong with you? I kept putting it off. I lost respect for Brad tonight. Because that's just something tonight. Honestly, why did you put that off? So dumb. I just kept putting it off. I never was in the mood for it. But it's so much fun. No, it is. It is a blast. It's really good. It's Statham doing what he does best. We've only got a couple more years with believable Statham. I don't know. He's not looking old. Look at Liam Neeson. Yeah, but see, that's not believable.

[00:46:45] It's all cut together. Statham still can pull off a little bit of a longer shot. Even in Taken, there's that famous breakdown. They did 13 edits of him jumping over a fence. But that's not because Liam Neeson is old. That's just piss poor editing and directing. I mean, probably a little column A, a little column B. He's an older man. You don't want to make him do jumps by himself. But you don't have to show Liam Neeson hopping a fence in that intricate detail. You don't have to, but again, Jason Statham can still pull that off. In a clean cut, you know that's him doing it. There's no stunt actor. It's more believable. That's all I'm saying. We have a couple more years.

[00:47:15] He's 57. That's my guess. By the way. Look at Tom Cruise. Yeah, but Tom Cruise is a hobbit. He's very tiny. They live longer. They don't hurt themselves and stuff. He's 5'6". But he feels big. But that David Ayer, Jason Statham pairing is coming back. And I sent you guys that trailer. They're redoing Beekeeper just he's a construction worker. Yeah. And I'm very excited about it. The working man. I hope that it like they do.

[00:47:45] A working man. A working man. They do like two or three more of these and then they have all the Jason Stathams come together for like a blue collar Avengers. They just. Is it going to be like the double team with John Claude Van Damme where they play twins? Is that what the. Or will it be more like Eddie Murphy? Or will it be more like Eddie Murphy? Where they play twins? Double Impact. That's it. Yeah. I was going to say I don't think there were twins in the Dennis Rodman one. Or will it be more like Eddie Murphy and Eddie Professor? The clumps take action. I'm in. I'm all in.

[00:48:14] I am excited about a working man because I love beekeepers so much. Of course. And I know. Paint by numbers. Don't care. Don't care. Don't care. Honey doesn't catch on fire. Don't care. It does in this movie. Well that honey does. Exactly. It's very specific honey. I was going to say. I don't care. I don't care. I just. It is. Give me more of that goopy goodness. Ew. No. The honey. Come on. All right. What else did you watch? You're nasty. You're nasty. What else did you watch? You're real freak nasty. You're nasty. What else did you watch? I. Oh Peter.

[00:48:45] Wait what? What did you say? Oh Peter. Oh Peter. I watched Interstellar. Yeah. I have not. Never seen that one. I hadn't seen. I think since I saw it in theaters honestly. Did you give me Interstellar to watch? I don't think so. Probably not. You would have talked about it. Maybe Gravity. I know. But you guys are giving me a lot of space films. Gravity. Yeah. It had been a long time since I'd seen Interstellar. I don't know the rest of the time. The rest is working against me. Gravity. Gravity.

[00:49:15] Good. No. It is. This movie is just really good. It's so good. I forgot how good it was. There are things that I had forgotten that happened in it. There were people that I forgot that were in it. Hey Ben. Do your best Michael Caine. My name is Michael Caine. I buried too many members of the Wayne family. I buried too many members of the Wayne family. That's pretty good. My name is Michael Caine. There's a shaman. You guys just want to watch The Wild Band. Yeah.

[00:49:43] This movie just is fantastic. It's big. It has such a pulsating score. Jessica Chastain is outstanding in it. Matthew McConaughey is fantastic in it. Everyone is just fantastic. I forgot young Timothee Chalamet was in this movie. I. I. Chalamet. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.

[00:50:31] I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.

[00:51:03] I. I. I. I. I.

[00:51:33] I think would anybody would characterize as a miss and it's still like at a 70 percent. And I wouldn't even call it a miss. I just think I think it's not it's not as good as his best. But it was that I don't think a commercial success. Well, it did have the covid struggle. So, OK, I mean, it's still, I guess. Is that like was that like the cha cha slide? Yeah. The covid struggle. Yeah. I mean, it still was three hundred and sixty five million at the box office, but it was a two hundred million dollar budget.

[00:52:01] But still, I have not seen this film and I didn't see it because the reviews weren't as fine. Yeah, honestly, it's like later to I had a lot of I had a lot of trouble with the audio myself. I just and maybe they fixed it in since it's been released on on on Blu-ray or for VOD. Who watches Blu-ray? In the theater. It was just really tough to hear what they were saying sometimes. Just saying. What else you watch? Honestly, that's it. I have been doing. You eat.

[00:52:30] I've been getting a lot of stuff done around the house as I prepare for my fiancee, Brittany. Oh, what's wrong? Your diabetes kicking in? Oh, I'm so sorry. I got to beat this. Fun movie podcast instead of what Brad's packing up in his house. He signed up for a reverse mortgage. What have you been doing? He asked me a direct question and I'm answering. It is rare for him to only do two movies or two movies in a week. It is rare. When I have some spare time to sit and just chill, I've been watching more of the classic seasons of The Simpsons.

[00:53:00] So I've been working on my way through that. I'm on season five now. Nice. And then one thing that I watched that is fantastic, which do you guys watch Abbott Elementary? I do like Abbott Elementary a lot. I'm not fully caught up. I've probably only seen half of this season. Okay. But I did see that they did a cross episode with Sunny. Yeah, Ben, you should watch Abbott Elementary because it's very funny, first of all. But I did see something about a big crossover. They did a crossover with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Yeah, there we go. It has the hit rate of Modern Family for me.

[00:53:30] It is funny every episode. Yeah, it's very, very good. And consistently funny. And it's so good. The crossover episode with It's Always Sunny is perfect. I don't watch It's Always Sunny, but I bet. Oh my God. I love It's Always Sunny. And seeing those characters. Because they're on season 17 or something like that. Something like that, yeah. 19 or 20, honestly. Yeah. I think they're the longest running sitcom ever now. Yeah. Yeah. They fit in with the show perfectly by just being who they are.

[00:53:58] Because it's such a weird way of putting them in this environment. Because they're not really fit for it at all. But it's perfect. And I can't wait to see the other side. Because they're doing an It's Always Sunny episode that's tied to the Abbott Elementary. Where Abbott Elementary people will be there? I don't know how they're going to do. If they're going to have Abbott Elementary cameras. Or if It's Always Sunny episode is just going to unfold with what happens. Oh, gotcha. Because there's... They're going to work that into their plot somehow. I'll ask you a real question, honestly. Yeah. Can I just watch that episode and I would laugh? Or should I...

[00:54:27] Would I need to really know a lot about Abbott Elementary? No, not really. I think you'd be like... You won't... You won't fully appreciate it. A lot of the inside stuff. The one thing that you won't probably understand is how great some of the interactions between characters are because of the type of characters they are and how well they match or don't match per se. But you'll still... I think you'll still enjoy it because you do know that It's Always Sunny characters. Yeah, yeah. And if anything for you, it'll just be like if you watch them go to an elementary school for an episode, you know? Yeah.

[00:54:54] But what's interesting is that Dennis is not in it very much. He's in it at the start and then he... Who's Dennis by the way? Which actor? Glenn Howerton. Okay. He leaves after being introduced and doesn't want to be in front of the camera. And apparently... Oh, is that... Because I've never seen Abba. Is it a faux documentary? It's a documentary style. Yeah. Okay, okay. Gotcha. And so he doesn't want to be there. He's not getting caught on film with an elementary school. Yeah. So he leaves and apparently he's kind of like the key to the crossover and they're going to show what he's doing and what's happening in the It's Always Sunny episode. That's brilliant. Yeah.

[00:55:24] It should be pretty fun. But yeah, it was great. And if you guys haven't watched Abba Elementary, you should because it's really funny. And same with It's Always Sunny. It's Always Sunny. It's hilarious too. It is. Abba Elementary is just... It is. It consistently hits every episode. Absolutely. Ben, what have you been watching? Well, guys, I have a goal this year. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We should probably talk about this. This is a bad idea. Listen, I... No, hold on. I supported you. You guys just got to talk for fucking 20 minutes. Stop.

[00:55:53] All I'm saying is I was going to move on from this. Okay? It's not a big deal. No, no, no. But we can't move on from it. In the text thread, I supported you. Brad was very negative about it. He was very negative. Not very negative. I'm... Would you say supremely negative? No, I'm worried because it's a quality of life thing because I know that at some point it's going to become stressful for him. He's not going to enjoy it. I'm enjoying it. I'm enjoying it already. Ben had a whole list of resolutions that he put out on Facebook and there were two that stuck out to me that I'm like, this is a bad idea. I didn't see it because I'm not on Facebook.

[00:56:23] You didn't send me. Why don't you text me your resolutions? The two that stuck out. You sound like my mom. I didn't see it. Why didn't you send it to me? But my mom is on Facebook and she was still saying, why didn't you see it? He wants to... I'll just share it with you and Seal and Liz Bernanke. The people that aren't on social media enough. He wants to watch 365 movies this year and read 52 books. Here's my problem with Brad, with your response to that.

[00:56:53] You were very negative about it. No, but I was not because I specifically said, I was like, Ben, I love these resolutions and they're very admirable. I was like, but I think this is going to make you go crazy. This part. Just the movies and books. But we don't squash people's goals at the beginning. I'm not trying to squash them. I just know for him and I know it... It's a little bit like a squash. He tried and succeeded, I think, right? 2016, I watched 366 movies. However, I watched 366 movies I had never seen before.

[00:57:22] That is the most enormous caveat to this. You're not giving yourself those that same... This parameter this time around is 365 movies in general. And my rule for myself is that they've got to be at least an hour and 20 minutes long. So documentaries do count this year. Well, they should anyway. But then also, I would really appreciate it for myself if the last time I saw it was the first time I saw it. Right? Right? So things like, you know, honestly, Interstellar.

[00:57:50] I could watch that encounter because I've only seen it once in the theaters. And this is going to sound like I'm shitting. I'm not shitting on you. Kind of this is because of you. There's so many times where you tell me, oh man, you really should watch that again if you haven't seen it since it came out. And I do it and I go, fuck. And so then to piggyback on that, we just talked about I watched WALL-E. Yeah. And that's the first time I had seen it since it came out in 2008. Right. And it was a completely different movie for me. Yeah. And I loved it so much. So that's why I think this is going to work because I'm introducing the boys to a lot of films.

[00:58:20] Ashley and I are watching a lot of films. It is a lot of films. It's a lot of films. Here's my thing though is I would much rather you try and fail than to squash the goal at all. But here's the thing though. I don't want him to not try. I just don't want it to become a source of stress for him because when he did this in 2016, granted it was a little more challenging because it was movies he'd never seen before. That was why it was hard. Honestly. It was hard for him and he was much less busy in 2016 than he is now. See, I disagree. I was equally busy just in different ways. I disagree.

[00:58:50] Dude, that was the year I took over the family business. I know. But you still. Yeah, no. You were still very busy but what I'm saying though is you're more busy now. And you were already super busy then. You didn't have kids. You didn't have a relationship like this. You didn't have a new house that you needed to fix. You didn't have several businesses. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Do you think he's doing the fixing of the house? No, but he still has to deal with it. I will admit Brad's right. It's fucking bullshit. I'm going to have to deal with it. So it's like-

[00:59:18] Did you know there's waters coming through the fucking fireplace? Like it's coming into the house? Yeah, you did say that. We talked about that, right? Yeah, no. It's not great. I don't love that. So it's just I don't want him to turn into a burden. And he's going to dislike it. Here's the movies I watched this week. All right? So wait, we're recording this on January 12th. Have you watched 12 films this year? I've watched 15. Bam. Got him. But yeah, so starting off the year, I watched that Buy Now, the shopping conspiracy we talked about.

[00:59:48] WALL-E, Absolution were the three that I watched before we recorded. Since we recorded, don't you fucking do it, you piece of shit. You piece of shit. Hey, at least he's chewing and not yawning. When I talk, yawn. Which one would you like? He coughed, yawned, is chewing. He just, there's no level of respect left for you. You want me to slap my nuts? No, I don't. Oh, put that can of nuts down. That's silly. Ew. Sorry, they're thick. Oh, holo too. Holo nuts.

[01:00:18] All right. So since then, I watched, I've been watching, honestly, Netflix has a plethora of these kind of shiny documentaries that they are- Would you say I have a plethora of piñatas? A plethora of piñatas. No, you can't do it. He can do it. Oh yeah, sorry. Yeah. Sorry about the voice, Brad. I apologize. Wait, I'm Polish. I can do the Polish one. Boo! I got a bunch of piñatas. Nailed it. Got it.

[01:00:47] So yeah, so I watched a lot of these one hour, 20, one hour, 30 minute documentaries, and I like them a lot, but I made this list, and I've got these, it says date watch, you know, out of 10, how many points am I giving it? And then the notes, and the notes the same for all these Netflix documentaries. Didn't get hard. Got too hard. No, it just says shiny Netflix doc makes you think a little bit, but that's it.

[01:01:13] These docs are made for like, it's almost, I don't know what service they're providing other than to kind of bring up an issue and really make you think a little bit. Yeah. But there's, at the end of all of these, and I'll name them here, there's not like, if you'd like to learn more, go here, or here's what you can. They weren't life-changing documentaries. It's not like that. It's just meant to kind of bring up some stuff and make you think about it a little bit. Well, to be fair, a lot of documentaries, they're not necessarily meant to like, they're not, um. They're not called action. Right, right. And that's fair.

[01:01:41] This is just a, much like, you know, I'll talk about another movie that I saw directed by Anna Kendrick. At the end of that movie, they were like, here's how you can help survivors of murderers. Like, that's not what movies are. Right. And so I respect that. But a lot of this is just very, very shiny and some AI generated, you know, artwork to cook. Nice. To go with it. And, uh, but yeah. So I watched Poisoned, the dirty truth about your food. Poisoned. Poisoned.

[01:02:10] I don't know why all three of us thought that immediately. Poisoned. The dirty truth about your food. Oh, okay. So anyway, I wrote on all these, uh, you know, shiny Netflix doc makes you think a little bit, but that's it. Right. And so this one, Poisoned, the truth about your food. Right. All of these, I give a six out of 10. They're all fine, but they're not. Yeah. It's not blackfish. You know, it's not like that. Did you stop eating seed oils? No. Uh, I watched The Misfits. You know what this is? What the, it's like, you know what it is?

[01:02:40] Uh, Pierce Brosnan, heist. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just as silly. I love a good heist film. So that's the thing. So in my notes, uh, I like heist movies. This is probably biased. It should have been rated lower because I gave it a six out of 10. It probably should have been a four, but I love heist movies. So I pipe inflate. Yeah. It's more a comment about how much I like movies. By the way, this film received three nominations on the 40th. Sorry. The 42nd Golden Raspberry Awards. Ooh. Whoops. Yeah.

[01:03:10] I gave it a six out of 10. Because honestly, like I like heist movies. That checks out. I like heist movies. What are you going to say? No, it has a 17%. It's not great. No, it shouldn't be a six. Again, I like heist movies. It's okay, though. It's okay. Um, I will watch a movie like this and another one on this list that I'm going to list because of if there's anything in there that I just haven't seen before as far as a grift or a con, I really do enjoy those scenes. And that will stick with me as like, oh yeah, that was pretty cool. Everything else was shit. But here's a six. Anyway, uh, then I, then I watched a real good one. Uh, watched Air Force One.

[01:03:40] Yeah. Yeah. That was just a throwback. How long had it been since you've seen that? Since it came out. Really? I'd never seen it again. Wow. Forgot that Gary Oldman was in it. I've seen that movie so many times. I watched it a ton after it came out on VHS. Me and Charlie actually used to watch it a lot. Get Off My Plane is the only thing I remembered about it. Wow. Harrison Ford is in this TV show now called Shrinking. Oh boy. Okay. Honestly, man. Like, and I love Shrinking, but you gotta stop. Shut the fuck up. At this point, our listeners are like, I'm never going to watch that show.

[01:04:10] They just talk about it too much. I don't care about the listeners. Whoa. Only about Brad. Oh my God. Whoa. I want you to watch the show. I will. He's going to watch it, man. Jesus. He won't. Fucking. Oh my goodness. He never does. He never does the things I tell him. So, uh, I'll tell a quick, a quick funny story. One of the funniest things. It better be fucking funny. Uh. What the fuck? Oh my God. Jesus. That is the funniest thing Nate Lauchs has ever said. It better fucking be funny. It better fucking be funny.

[01:04:40] If I'm being honest with you. So there's. I mean, if you're going to say, I'm going to tell you a funny story. It better be fucking funny. But there's, there's a shot when Harrison Ford runs up from the, like the second level of the plane to the cockpit. He like does a quick run and jumped up the step. And after we'd seen it like several times at this point, Charlie just fucking nailed like an MST 3K comedy. He just goes, Chewie, get us out of here. And we lost it. Oh. Is that funny enough for you, Nate? Charlie Young. Am I laughing? Whoa.

[01:05:10] Wow. That's a just, that's very, you know what? Let's move on. Uh, I watched, uh. I think he's mad that we shut him up about shrinking. I watched Pain Hustlers. Oh, how was that? I actually liked it. Yeah? It's Chris Evans. Emily Blunt. Emily Blunt. And Emily Blunt plays a down and out. Honestly, she was a stripper and just like. Fuck yeah. Kind of like she. Oh my God. What's wrong with you guys? I didn't say anything. You're laughing, you're laughing, but not in the right way, Nate.

[01:05:40] Because Brad is just so funny sometimes. That was like a laugh of agreement and I don't really like it, Nate. That's all I'm saying. I mean, because in my mind I was thinking, my butt's so cute. And then Brad says. She's wonderfully attractive. So anyway. Do you see her as a stripper though? No. No. Well, nevermind. Oh wait, sorry. In the movie? Yes. Oh, okay. I thought you meant me. But do you see her like overall as a stripper in your head? I'm like, no. I see her as an amazing actress. As a person. I see her as a person. Strippers are people.

[01:06:10] No, they're not. Sex workers are people? No, they're not. Wow. I'm just joking. I visit them all the time. Let me tell you. They're people. Because they touch you. Anyway. I don't know where this is going. She plays a down and out entrepreneur, single mom, had a tough life, is always looking for the next get rich quick type thing. Chris Evans plays a very sleazy pharmaceutical sales rep, part of a company. Does he do a thick Boston accent? You're going to love it because he doesn't.

[01:06:40] He might actually have his natural speaking voice in there. He plays a sleaze ball, honestly. It's even more of a sleaze ball than in Knives Out. He plays a real piece of shit. He's trying to only sell prescriptions. It doesn't matter how it happens. We should prescribe this for everything because we make more commissions. He's the guy that dresses up as the mascot of the needle and goes to the corporate event and dances around on stage. Nice. He buys into it because he makes a lot of money. Yeah, and he has no ethics, I'm going to guess. No ethics whatsoever.

[01:07:09] Andy Garcia is in this and he plays the founder of the company slash developer of this miracle drug that you put under your tongue. But it's basically fentanyl. Okay. And this, by the way, it says based on a true story. Yeah. So Andy Garcia plays this guy, creates a drug because his wife's starting to have cancer. He wants her pain to go away. He develops an under the tongue drip that basically makes her pain go away. And so on paper, that's great. There are side effects. It's fentanyl.

[01:07:37] So it's got to be really meticulously handled. But of course, it starts getting to these pain clinics and these doctors just start prescribing it for, hey, I heard you had cancer. This is great. So in this world, and I'm not sure that this is 100% accurate, but there's got to be a lot of truth to it. It's, of course, the hot drug reps come in and they flirt with the doctors and they get them to write their prescriptions instead of using this, use that. Now, there are clearly slime balls in this world, in this drug prescribing world.

[01:08:05] And Emily Blunt's character finds what they call a whale in the industry. He's willing to get paid to put on clinics and do this. So she hooks him up and they basically start doing it. And the drug is prescribed for this. And it starts going through the roof. Prescribers are prescribing this thing now. Yeah. And it's that rise and fall of the kind of, is this a scam? Should we be prescribing this at all in the first place? And then in a certain point in the movie, they say we need to be targeting other markets like for general pain because pain is pain. Yeah.

[01:08:34] And it's like, ooh, you're prescribing fentanyl to these people. And this really happened. So then Chris Evans and Andy RC are on one side and she's on the other. But she met Chris Evans at the strip club and he goes, I'll pay you $100,000. He's drunk. I'll pay you $100,000. You come work for me. You know, two or three weeks later where she's really down and out, she finds him and says, I want this job. Let's do this. That's kind of the emphasis for their relationship. They never sleep together in the entire movie. Spoiler alert. If you're looking for that. But I like that a lot because it's not about that.

[01:09:01] Like she never sacrificed the thing that maybe you think she would to get ahead. It wasn't like that. She took that opportunity and fucking ran with it and then had a guilty conscience. Yeah. It's really a character study about a woman who got to the point where she was very successful and needed that. But then also now looking back goes, fuck, this is too successful. It's a runaway train. I can't stop it. What do I do? And that's why I really respected this movie a lot more than I thought I was going to. This film was critically panned. And what do you think it was the thing that I like?

[01:09:30] I think that it's a little too easy. Okay. A little paint by numbers? It's a little bit out loud. Okay. They're telling the story and you're like, I'm there for it. But it's probably made more for a guy like me where it's like, you're hitting the broad strokes and I'm here for it. But it's a lot of outlandish things. I guess it's a good cast. Yeah. But they're yelling their lines instead of there's no nuance. I think there's a lack of nuance that real critics would consider not amazing. Especially with a heavy topic. Right. Exactly. Based on the opioid crisis. Yeah.

[01:09:59] They're like, this guy is this doctor who's the whale that she signs up shows up in a Ferrari with a slick jacket. Yeah. It's very paint by numbers as far as like, well, wardrobe, make sure he looks like that guy where you could do this in a different way where it's just a piece of shit doctor, but he doesn't need to look like that because the audience is smart enough to understand. Yeah. They hit you over the head. So he walks up and he's like, hey lady. No, the reality is, and you're right, most of the doctors I know prescribing or over prescribing opioids that live in our area aren't driving for hours. Right? Exactly.

[01:10:29] And so it's a little to just hit you over that. What was the movie that we saw with Brad Pitt? Oh. You know what I want to say. Yeah. Seven Years in Tibet. No. What's the name of it? Killing Them Softly. Killing Them Softly. Brad and I saw this in a theater and it's a good movie. Yeah. Not a great movie, but every TV show that's playing in this movie, every TV that's on has these economic news reports and how bad the economy's going. And it's like, we fucking get it, man. You don't need to hit me. What's it called?

[01:10:59] Killing Them Softly. Killing Him? Killing Them Softly. I looked up Killing Me Softly. I'm like, that's a song. That's an erotic thriller film with Heather Graham. But again, you don't need to be hit over the head as an audience member. And this movie definitely hits you over that. And I think that's why critics didn't love it. So another documentary, I watched The Anti-Social Network, Memes to Mayhem. That movie annoyed the fuck out of me. It was very annoying. Yeah. Yeah, it really was. You don't really need to talk about it.

[01:11:28] It wasn't great. Yeah. The Biggest Heist Ever about cryptocurrency. A man and a woman stole what ended up being $4.3 billion in crypto. They got away with it? They did not. They went to jail. Oh. But they stole, because they stole, here's the thing, they stole $70 million worth of Bitcoin. And then of course it became worth $4.3 billion years later. And it's a story about, honestly, it's worth watching in my opinion just for who these people were.

[01:11:56] This woman was so interested in being famous online that she was doing cat videos, but she was the cat. Nice. And jumping around and making weird fucking- That sounds like something I would send you on Instagram. Yeah, it's cringy. Yeah, there's weird stuff like that. And it reminded me, she's making music like Gene Belcher from Bob's Burgers. She's making her own music, and she became this alter ego, like Rathskeller or something, and she tried to make herself popular. Everybody in her life was like, where are you getting this money?

[01:12:26] You guys are traveling all over, da, da, da. And it was very easy eventually to pinpoint, like, of course, you're spending money you don't have. Yeah. It's crazy. So the meeting of them, the two suspects, how they pulled it off, everything, it's pretty well documented, and it's just insane. I gotta figure out how to do one where I don't get caught. Well, there you go. You've got college bills. Yeah. If any of you have any, like, valuable cryptocurrency that you don't need.

[01:12:50] I have a friend that his brother, into computers and everything, got into Bitcoin super early. All right. Gave his brother Bitcoin. His brother threw it away. And he doesn't remember how to access it. It was on a hard drive somewhere, in a dump somewhere, because the number of times people at this point worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. If not millions, honestly. Oh my gosh.

[01:13:19] Because it was like first year, first year of Bitcoin. If you guys are curious about how, if you know nothing about Bitcoin. There's no way of accessing it now. None. The crazy part is, it was a physical thing that would be stored on your computer. So you downloaded it, it was yours. But in order to cash in, you'd have to have the actual computer that it's downloaded on. There's no other way. Correct. Back in the early, I want to say 2010, 2011, 12, there would be like a dart tournament at a bar. And they'd be like, grand prize is one Bitcoin or $25. Yeah.

[01:13:49] And people would take the $25, right? But if you took one Bitcoin right now, I believe it's worth, or it peaked out at like $70,000 or something like that. So if you had like 100 Bitcoins on a laptop, which was a thing you could easily have back in the day. Which cost nothing back then, right? There are Bitcoin multimillionaires, maybe even billionaires. There's another documentary, I haven't watched it, but it's about a guy that had 100 Bitcoins stored on his computer and he threw it away.

[01:14:15] So he has been actively scavenging a landfill for the last decade trying to find it. Oh my God. That's how serious this is. My buddy who's in the port here, whose brother gave him that Bitcoin, he's like, he laughs about it now. He has a good job and everything. He's like, yeah, I didn't think anything of it. My older brother's a nerd. He just gave me this for a present. We joked around about this a couple of episodes ago. We've got a new house. There's a new basement. And one of the storage boxes, Nate, what's that say?

[01:14:44] A gateway computer. So there's the Moo packaging of a gateway computer. Now that computer that was in that was from college. And that computer, I couldn't tell you when I donated it to Electronic World Cycling, right? But it's been 24 years and I still have that box. Imagine that whatever was in that box was worth $70,000. I think I tried to fucking pan out where it went, right? And that's happening a lot of times right now. It's just nuts. So anyway, biggest size ever. Honestly, worth watching just because the people are fucking insane. You're like, there's no way these are criminal masterminds.

[01:15:14] And they weren't. They just, they used social engineering rather than hacking. Can I say this too? So they just found somebody to give them a password. That's all it was. Bitcoin bros drive me crazy. You know, they're like X, you know, it's Twitter. It's not a hot take. It's just another word for a pyramid scheme. Get rich quick, whatever. It's like, you don't. The thing that's sad is I just see people like, I put $10,000 into Bitcoin and it's all gone. I don't know what to do because I thought it was good. Why are you doing like just. You didn't have $10,000.

[01:15:44] You literally spent every dollar. It's gambling. Don't gamble. Just don't gamble. Just don't gamble. Anyway, Terminator 2. Mm-hmm. Now that's. Is that probably. Judgment Day. I'm going to have to go through this list, you know, once a month and be like, I've definitely seen that movie 20 times. Yeah. But Rune's never seen it. Mm-hmm. And so Ender's eight, Rune's 10. And I'm like, screw it. It's a little bit ahead of its time, but I'm going to. What do they think? Let me watch it. Rune absolutely has questions about the timeline. He is just so.

[01:16:14] He's. I waited a pause a few times just because he's 10, right? So he's just, he's getting his head around like, I showed him the recap, a PG recap of Terminator on YouTube just so he knew like kind of what the story was because that's a horror movie, honestly. So I'm not going to do that to him. So we watched T2. He's loving the action scenes, obviously. But then we had. He gets sad at the end. Well, we had to pause it every once in a while just so he could understand like that. So that John Connor is the one that sent him back. And so then he's like finishing the time loop in his head going like that one doesn't make

[01:16:43] any sense. Like, couldn't they always do that? And I'm like, you got to just kind of let it go, you know, at a certain point. But no, it's obviously Ender, the younger one comes in the room. And if it's a scene that I know nothing, because I've seen it so many times that nothing bad is really going to happen, I'll let him watch it. And then, of course, he wants to stay. I'm like, buddy, not yet, man. Like, you don't, you're doing like Jurassic Park, so we can't really do this yet, you know? I am so lucky and fortunate to have these kids right where I've got them as far as age for movies. I'm so going to have these kids right where I got them.

[01:17:13] I got them right where I got them. I'm going to steal all their bitcoins. It is. You wouldn't even know. But man, we are on the precipice here of like, you know, when Ender is like 11 and Rune is like 13, 14, just introducing them to all of these 80s and 90s movies that I just love and are R-rated, but R-rated from the 90s, you know? Like Cliffhanger. Yeah. That's a great movie. Boogie Nights. Or Lord of the Rings. All of the extended editions. Kids. Can't wait for them to watch kids with me. Yeah. Kids. Anyway. I forgot about kids.

[01:17:43] Requiem for a Dream. I watched Lyft. Okay. With Kevin Hart. How was it? Same thing as Heist or whatever the other movie was, The Misfits, where I'm like, okay, this is a big budget movie that is just, oh, we're going to give Kevin Hart this instead of Ryan Reynolds. I didn't hate Lyft. Here's the thing. I didn't hate it. I think I talked about it a couple weeks ago. I didn't hate it. But I wrote, but I wrote, I like Heist movies. This probably should be rated lower. Because again, there are some pretty clever things.

[01:18:13] John Rudnitsky from SNL, isn't that who? Yeah. He's in it, right? He's got a bit part. He's in Red 1. Yeah. No, again, he's popping up as this kind of character actor that is part of the team that's like the funny guy. What is he doing in that? He was the safe cracker. Not in Red 1. No, that's Billy Magnuson. Oh, I thought it was John Rudnitsky. No, it's Billy Magnuson. Oh. Wow. You just confused Billy Magnuson with John Rudnitsky? They look alike. They all look the same. Billy Magnuson is very distinct.

[01:18:43] Are you sure? They look a lot alike. Billy Magnuson in Game Night. I mean, come on. Yeah. Maybe that's why. Dummy? I was like, oh, I've seen him before and I thought that it made it. I don't know what role. Yeah, never mind. Sorry. Wow. Disrespectful of Billy Magnuson. Pull up a, Nate, while I'm doing this next one, can you pull him upside by side? Can you get there? Both are. I know that's Billy Magnuson, but get up John Rudnitsky, whatever his name is, because they look decently similar. And then when he showed me this photo, I'm really like, shit, no, they don't. But I really want to see it real quick. You know.

[01:19:13] They're both white guys. Look at that photo. They're both white. That's not. I don't need to. I know what they look like. But that's not. They're both white. That's not bad, though, man. I mean, they're both white. They're similar. They are. They are similar. Yeah. No. They're both white. That's similar enough for me to confuse them. No. But I've watched this film actually twice now. Wait, wait. What? You've watched Lyft twice? Yeah. What? Only because I watched it right when it came out. And then I watched it again, like, what, a couple weeks ago. It is a perfect in-the-background film, right? Why don't you watch a good background movie?

[01:19:43] I don't know. It's fun. It's not good. It's fun. It's nothing that they enjoy. There's a couple of clever things. Exactly. It has enough for me. It has enough. It felt kind of like that Six Underground or Red Notice or Gray Man. There was this kind of easy. No. And the cast isn't bad, right? You've got Vincent D'Onofrio, Kevin Hart, Google Mbatha-Raw, who's just beautiful. She's beautiful.

[01:20:13] She's gorgeous. Mm-hmm. Billy Magnuson. I don't know if you know he's in this. Yeah. Definitely not from Saturday Night Live. I'm sorry that I confused those. Sorry. Anyway. Yeah. It was fine. I watched Woman of the Hour, which is Anna Kendrick's directorial debut. It is a movie about a woman based on real true events. Of the hour. Of the hour.

[01:20:37] Where she was on the dating game and selected the bachelor number three who was a serial killer. Mm-hmm. Based on a true story, right? Yes. Oh, yeah. Based on a very true story because this guy was supposed ... They proved that he killed nine people. They thought that some accounts it could be up to 130. Yeah. And it was all women and children. He killed eight-year-old girls up to 32-year-old women. Yep.

[01:21:05] And he did it by walking around and taking photos of people and then offering them, oh, yeah, you could be a model. I took photos of models. And then he'd lure them to some canyon up in whatever, California, whatever. And he just would murder them. Yeah. It's insane. But then the crazy part of this movie, and this is the true part, he was murdering these people in the 60s and 70s, and he was caught, I believe, in 1979 or 1980, and he was on the

[01:21:34] dating game in 1978, which just goes to show you that these people are so confident and they're like, I'm never going to get caught, that he was on the fucking ... The world-renowned dating game, right? And Anna Kendrick plays a ... She stars and directs, but she plays a woman who is on her way out of Hollywood because every audition she goes on, you're good with nudity, right? And she's like, not really. I just ... I'm trained at Juilliard and da, da, da. And it wasn't for her.

[01:22:03] I think one of the coolest moments of this movie, Pete Holmes has a bit part as the neighbor. And so Pete Holmes and Anna Kendrick, they run lines together, and he is perfect as this kind of annoying ... The scene you meet him, he's talking to this elderly woman, and if it's a callback, then it means that I can be a serious regular. And he's bending her ear, and she's this blue hair with a plastic bonnet on, and he's just looking for anybody to talk to.

[01:22:30] And so she walks in and sees him and turns the corner back away and like, fuck, I've got to go down this hallway. Oh, I don't want to see him again. And they have this ... That's a fun scene, and their dynamic is very good. Overall, I like this movie a lot. I think Anna Kendrick is incredible in this film. I think it's well-directed. They do time jumping, where they put it 1978, 1961, whatever. They cut back and forth between the narrative. I think that could have been done ... If I've got to critique that, because I know what I'm doing.

[01:22:59] That could have been done a little bit better, because even though they said what year it was, it was still kind of a little hazy to see ... And I get what she was doing. It's like, by design, you don't know which one is which, where this is coming from. And it is slightly like, okay, well, I'm not sure where to place this. I think ... So what you're saying is this could have gotten the 91% on Rotten Tomatoes to maybe like 95? It's a very good film.

[01:23:26] I think the reason that she did it, and I don't know for sure, it's my guess, is that she wanted to create a narrative structure where it showed he's been doing this for a long time. No, and I get that wholeheartedly. I just ... And this is probably more of an audience problem than her, is that I'm the kind of person that really wants to set things. And it's okay to have a mystery of what's going to happen, but the timeline in my head, I'm like, I don't even know when this is happening.

[01:23:55] And maybe it's just me being done watching a movie, but again, it was very well done. I was super happy. There's one scene in this movie that I have never seen anything like it in any of the movie before, and I was just like, oh my God, that is fucked up. It's pretty early on in the movie. Yeah. No, I know exactly which one you're talking about. I've never seen it before myself, and I'm like, what's the purpose? Yeah, I was like, what's he doing? Exactly. Oh, no. Yeah. So anyway, it's worth seeing just for that. All right. All right.

[01:24:21] And then the last one, another documentary, I watched Hack Your Health, The Secrets of Your Gut. Oh, good. And I got a big gut, so I wanted to know the secrets. They say that gut health is like brain health. So the only thing I'll say about this is, again, shiny documentary, whatever. But one of the things that I don't fucking dare. We're talking about gut health, and you're just going to, okay.

[01:24:51] Barbecue, pork. They are finding that gut health is vitally important. So here's the thing. Of all of the, what I would call anecdotal evidence and all of the whatever, twin studies and this and that. Okay. But. Twins? There was a study. That's where I'm going. In this study, there was, or sorry, in this documentary, there was a study. And they took identical twins, one who was a bit portly, one who was just natural thin. And they took the gut microbes.

[01:25:20] This whole movie's about microbes. What's in your stomach, bacteria, good, bad. And they were, they were positing that like, yes, you can eat an apple and I can eat an apple. And we both say that it's worth 100 calories because that's what's on the package. And realistically, your gut bacteria will determine how well you process that. So I could have a real trouble processing that. And I would, I would hold on to all the fat stores of it. But you would not. You would, you would just breeze through it. And you, and that's metabolism, right? That's what we call metabolism. And so you have people that struggle to gain weight.

[01:25:49] And then people who just gain weight by looking at a pie. Heard that. Me too. And what they did was in this twin study, they extracted the microbes. You say twin. Is that, are you talking double lined? No, no. I'm talking about twins. Oh, the actual twins. Actual twins. So a portly twin and a, and it's like these guys are in their thirties. So experience counts, right? Yep. One dude worked at a bar and drank and ate, whatever. The other guy ran marathons. They didn't get into that. They just said, here's a guy that is fat and here's a guy who's thin.

[01:26:19] And we're going to extract these microbes. But they share, they share very similar DNA. They're identical. Yep. We're going to inject these microbes into rats and we're going to see what happens. And so the, the interesting part to me, and I would love to read a little bit more about this study, but if I'm believing this documentary, they inject the gut microbes into the rats and on the same exact food, the same exact food, the fat one got fat and the thin one stayed thin. Now I'm not a scientist, right?

[01:26:47] But that's alarming to at least see that like that might actually play a role in obesity and like all this other stuff going on. Of course, I'm going to sit down and drink some Jack Daniels and eat a pizza and I'm a piece of shit and I'm fat. Right. But there are people out there that are not like me that are doing their best and they're eating broccoli and they're there, but they just can't seem to get ahead of it. Yeah. And this, this is important enough to talk about where it's like, that's mental health

[01:27:15] struggles and things because they say, I'm just, I'm just a fat person and I just can't do anything about it. And everybody else is so quick to be like, we'll just fucking eat a salad, bitch. Calm the fuck down. There is more science. Yeah. A lot of people are really mean about it. It's a, and you know, you and I have developed pretty thick skin, literally. Yeah. Where we can handle ourselves. But people keep coming up to us and they're like, eat a salad, bitch. They say, and I'm like, dad, again, you're retired. Yeah. Find a hobby. This is Menards. You're following me around. I don't love it.

[01:27:45] To your point though. You're a fan piece of shit. About your weight. To your point though. Do you guys like my Vinders t-shirt? You know what? Do you like my Vinders t-shirt that I'm wearing? Yeah. Especially like that doesn't fit. I love it because it really doesn't. And my gut's kind of sick. You keep on having to pull it out. Like, look at my belly. I keep pulling it up a little bit. And then I pull it down.

[01:28:13] And then when it doesn't pull down all the way, I keep feeling a little self-conscious for real. And then I try to adjust myself without you guys looking. But then you keep looking. And then I'm like, oh no, it's really empty. You know why? Because you have a big fucking minion on your fucking chest. So it is interesting. Guys, I'm doing really great. Let me say one thing. I hate the idea of hacking your health. I hate this idea. Because it makes it seem like it's secret, right?

[01:28:40] The whole idea though of like gut microbiome is like that's real. That's real science, right? We don't know a ton about it. And we're learning a lot more about it. But like for instance, my doctor talked about I just took antibiotics because I've been sick. And like my gut health is terrible right now because the antibiotics kill a lot of the – so I'm on a probiotic now. I'm trying to get like the right gut health.

[01:29:09] And like it for me can seem woo-woo a little bit. And I push against woo-woo. But the data is actually pretty clear that like mental health – there's these weird connections between mental health and physical health and all these things that seem to exist in our gut. I don't like the idea of hacking it. But it seems to be enough to say we should probably pay attention to it.

[01:29:33] The thing that I – the takeaway for me as a big fat guy was that yes, microbes are important for your gut health. They really are. And eating a plethora of foods, honestly, like a bunch of variety differences. It's because in this documentary – I don't eat enough green – Pepperoni pizza. No, no. Supreme pizza. Meat lovers pizza. Here's the – I know you're fucking around but here's the crazy part.

[01:29:57] This woman who is very strict about her diet, she got her shit tested literally and they were like, hey, you need to start introducing potato chips and bad foods into your diet. Wow. Because – but again, and this is not a joke. She eats like three potato chips a day now because the idea is your gut health is made up of – you need a forest. You need all of these different things. But if you just introduce like the same three plants, like eat a kale salad every day, that's not healthy. Yeah, exactly. So it's not more complicated than just like – You do need a piece of bologna.

[01:30:27] You do need sugar. You do need – but it's all of these things that you need and of course the ratios, right? You need a lot more of this than that. But it's not saying – We err on the wrong side, the three of us. But – Well, that's why at 4th of July you can have a hot dog, a burger, and a steak. I love that you said that because guess who's in this documentary? Guy Fieri. Nope, but it has to do with hot dogs. The hot dog champ. Not Joey Chestnut, but the original one, Takeru Kobayashi, is in this documentary. Wow.

[01:30:55] And they talk about fiber and you watch him eat hot dogs and they document him in Japan talking with his friends and family. And his friends and family are like, how is it that you think you're unhealthy? We go out to dinner and we eat so much more than you. And then every once in a while you eat bad, right? Because he's an eater. He's an eater. But then he sent in his shit and stuff and he's not healthy. And he's like, I've been living like an American three days a month and it has impacted me.

[01:31:24] And now he's in his late 30s where when he started he was in his teens basically as a competitive eater. That's very interesting. So there's a lot of – actually this one was one of the ones I enjoyed a little bit more. It presents some questions, right? Yeah, because there's a lot of questions to ask about this stuff. But the takeaway here is, yes, calories affect everybody differently. But you cannot look at it like, well, it doesn't matter. You know, I'm going to eat a slice of pizza that's going to stay on me. But that motherfucker's lucky. At our sizes, it really is calories in, calories out no matter what. I don't know. I think we've got to get some of these gut health things. That's also part of it though.

[01:31:54] You can start to look into that. But right now, I mean, nobody's going to be like, hey, Ben, get some better gut microbes. Yeah, nor should the three of us be like, you know, we'd lose some weight, more weight if our gut was – I also love that he's – Yeah, I love he's including himself. Like the fucking Abbott and Costello. We've got two Costellos over here. Yeah, seriously. Hey, Abbott. There's the door. Hey, three Chubby guys hosting podcasts. We literally say that we look like the number 100 standing next to each other, and you know that. Yeah.

[01:32:23] Hey, Chubby boy. He's got like the slightest beer belly because he has actual beer. Yeah, it's a real dad bod that women are attracted to. And then people tell me like, yeah, dad bod. Like, yeah, the dad is going to die next week. Like, it's not good. Yeah, exactly. He's not doing great. Three wild, crazy Chubby boys. Nope, not even a little bit. Look at us having fun. No. Talking about our guts. I like how this podcast has gone to who's on whose side. Yeah. We do that a lot where we just team up. Wearing large shirts. I wish. Large shirts? Guys.

[01:32:53] Hey, Brett, what's the last time you've showed up? Fourth grade. I was going to say, it was sixth grade for me. I got a Boston Bruins t-shirt that's an L, and I was like, no, it's got to grow out of it. Ben, I think you have a trailer song for us. Oh, absolutely. As always, I'm utterly prepared for this moment. I've been thinking all week about it. Yes. And I just know. I know that you got something. You've been cooking something the same way that a chef cooks a nice, delicious meal for the president. Cousin.

[01:33:23] Play a song. The president's cousin. No? No, it's The Bear. It's from The Bear, which is a TV show. You should watch The Bear. Yeah, you like it, Brad. What's it about? It's about bears. Oh, okay. I'm in. Yeah. It's on me? Well, you said you were prepared. No, no. I was. Cousin. Cousin. I thought somebody else was going to cut me off because now I am prepared, so then maybe you want to steal my thunder. No, no. No, I was just waiting for you to do your song.

[01:33:52] Are you going to do a trailer song or are you just going to sit here and just finger your butt? No, I thought Nate was taking over there. No, he's trying to fill the air. He's trying to fill. You're just doing dead air over here, dumb fuck. Jesus. I tried to tell you that I'm more prepared this time for a trailer song than I've ever been before. Just start the song. All right. Roll, roll, roll the film. Let's watch a trailer.

[01:34:20] Everybody come over here and sit on my lap. Whoa. Roll, roll, roll your lap. I'm having a time with trailers. Brad and Nate and Ben will be here, but everybody's on my lap. Roll, roll, roll. I mean, we can do the roll. I thought Brad was going to pick up on that one. I don't remember the lyrics. I didn't either. I was just bumbling. It's a lot of sitting on my lap. Yeah. It seems like it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, I'm not upset, I guess. No. I don't know.

[01:34:47] Because some thought and prayer went into that. Some good vibes. Some good vibes went in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you want to sit on my lap later? Sure. Can I see that? Yeah. Me sitting on his lap? Absolutely. I wouldn't have it any other way. Yeah. We watched two trailers. We did. We did. We watched two of them. The first one we watched is called Death of a Unicorn. And this is an A24 movie. So Ben was super jazzed about it, of course. I'm so excited to watch this piece of shit. No. I bet you are excited to see this because this does look pretty dang good.

[01:35:17] So I say that being, I always have this fucking, I bemoan, you know, when I see A24, okay, fine. This looks so fucking fun. Yeah. It looks great. It looks like a great dark comedy. Yeah, yeah. Jenna Ortega, Paul Rudd, Will Poulter, Naomi Watts. It just looks like a... If you haven't seen the trailer, obviously we want you to watch it, but the takeaway here is I love when movies are very grounded.

[01:35:46] I love when people would really do the things that the characters would do, what real people would do in that situation. Also, sorry, Taylor Leone, not Naomi Watts. Yeah, I was wondering where Naomi Watts was going to be. Yeah, me too. Yeah, yeah. Morgan Freeman was in it, too. Yeah, you're so racist. But I love this because in this trailer, there's a real, quote unquote, unicorn, right? And the characters are saying things like, there's a scene where it's like, it seems to

[01:36:15] be some sort of horse with a protrusion. Yeah. And they don't want to say it, and somebody's like, are you fucking unicorn? It's a fucking unicorn. I love that scene so much because it's so grounded, and they're building a universe, and now I hope that they stay, A24 is famous, though, for just going off the rails here, so I trust it, the trailer so far, but I'm really hoping they stay with a very grounded narrative because that's the most fun. Yeah, and the unicorn's a monster. Yeah, yeah. He's a big-ass beast.

[01:36:42] Basically, I hope that this is what the movie that happened before we see the unicorn in Cabin in the Woods. That'd be awesome. That'd be great. But no, yeah, cast is great. Richard E. Grant's also in this. Apparently, Anthony Kerrigan is in it, too. Will Poulter. Yeah, he's in the trailer. Oh, did he? I missed him. This is a moment where Nate says something that has already been covered. So you said Will Poulter? Yeah, I know. And then Nate was just not in paying attention. But he said Anthony Kerrigan, and I said he's in the trailer, and he is. The people didn't watch the trailer with us, so. Yeah, they did.

[01:37:10] But also, he said Will Poulter first, and then you said Will Poulter's in this, and you're Oh, yeah. A lot of what he says I don't listen to, but he did say Anthony Kerrigan, and I saw Anthony Kerrigan. You know how I know it's Anthony Kerrigan? He's bald. He's got no eyebrows. Who's the guy that I told you that I love, the character actor, and you say E. Wilter Grant. What was his name? Richard E. Grant. Richard E. Grant. I don't know. I can't name the films, right, that he's been in. The epitome of a great character actor. Yeah.

[01:37:38] Somebody like Toby Huss, where you see him, you're like, I love that guy. And Richard E. Grant is a little bit more than a character actor. Who's saying Richard E. Grant is a character actor? Well, I mean, he's not a well-known name. Yeah. The roles that he typically takes are character actor roles, but he does feel like more than a character actor. I think it's because he's probably a little bit bigger in the UK than he is in the United States. It's super fair. I'm not trying to be a spanking. He's been nominated for an Academy Award, Golden Globe. A lot of character actors have been.

[01:38:05] So what's great, actually, and this is going to make you enjoy this even more. He won Screen Actors Guild for Gosford Park. Richard E. Grant plays the Spice Girls manager in Spice World. Yeah, that A-list actor, Nate, that you're so worried about. Actually, the reason that he did get that role is because he's a big actor in Britain. There's a lot of famous Brits in the Spice World movie. Well, now, can I talk to you over here? Yeah, no, yeah. Nate can't hear us right now. I need you to stop.

[01:38:32] Every time that you undermine me in front of him, I feel like he loses respect for me. And here's the thing. I want him to respect me. No, I get it. So what's going to help with that is if he don't say stupid fucking shit like he said. Yeah, but he didn't know it was stupid until you brought it up. Well, no. I mean, he gets it internally because he just thinks probably automatically, oh, that sounds stupid that Ben said. That's not at all how this works. Honestly, I think you know that. No, I know how it works. Nate, sorry, buddy. How you been? Also, Roger Moore is in Spice World. Yeah. Bob Hoskins is in Spice World.

[01:39:00] A lot of very famous British actors are in there. Even though they're not A-list necessarily, they're in it. The Spice Girls are in Spice World. That's what I heard. But yeah, I'm very excited about Death of a Unicorn. Who's your favorite Spice Girl? We talked about this earlier. Yeah, I said. You said what? You guys know. Ginger Spice? Yeah. And you said what? Baby Spice. And I said Sporty Spice. Yeah. Okay. You're the worst choice. Yeah, no. Whoa. She's the worst one. Mel C is the worst one. She's not. No, I disagree. I like turmeric spice.

[01:39:31] These are the jokes. Late in the episode. These are the jokes. And you're here for me. These are jokes. Late in the episode. What are you doing with your hips? Shaking them. With my minion t-shirt. Showing my baby. What's the other trailer? We also watched the trailer for a new action thriller. But the one that's comedic. Called Novocaine. Novocaine. This is starring Jack Quaid. Who you might know from The Boys.

[01:40:01] He's kind of a rising star. You might have seen him in one of the Scream movies as well. And he's getting a lot of play these days. He's going to be in another movie called Companion that looks pretty compelling. Coming out here in February. Son of one of Ben's favorite actors. Mel Gibson. Oh. Nephew of my favorite actor of all time. Randy Quaid. And so this movie follows Jack Quaid as a guy who kind of falls for a girl who works at the bank that he works at. Is there a catch? There is. What's the catch?

[01:40:30] He can't feel pain. What? So when the people who robbed his bank kidnapped the girl that he likes, he's like, well, I got to try and do something about this. But he's kind of bumbling and obviously isn't a hero. But he's trying because he can't get hurt. Well, he can get hurt, but he just can't feel pain. But he can still die because obviously he still bleeds. He could get stabbed in the leg and he would not feel it. Right. But he would still bleed out. Yeah. Exactly. So you guys probably didn't catch us from the trailer.

[01:40:57] But the girlfriend is played by Amber Midthunder, who is in a film that you guys would love called Pray. Okay. No, but you know that I love that movie. I actually didn't realize that was her. I didn't actually know that was her. But yeah, she's great. And this movie looks like a lot of fun. I said that it looks like Nobody Hurts. Yeah. And that because Nobody is a film kind of like this. It's called Mr. Nobody. It's not, though. It's just called Nobody. I'm pretty sure it's called Mr. Nobody. It's just Nobody with Bob Odenkirk. Isn't it called Mr. Nobody?

[01:41:26] It's not. You fucking idiot. I think it's Nobody. It's just Nobody. What if it's Mr. Nobody, though? And it's a play on Everybody Hurts by R.E.M.? Yeah, Nobody is a 2021 film. Mr. Nobody. And you didn't laugh. But that's a good play on words. It's a good play on words. It's not great. It's an okay play on words. No, it's not great, but it's good. And you didn't even give me good because you incorrectly thought that it was Mr. Nobody. That's on you, though. It is, but it doesn't make the joke better.

[01:41:55] Well, by everybody. No, I think this looks like a lot of fun. No, it looks, this looks in the same vein as Nobody. It looks in the same vein. So. Violent Night. Like there are these kind of, I'm going to call them a little upscale revenge style. Heightened action. Fish out of water action. Exactly. These are $15 million films, right? They're not super expensive films. But this will make $100 million. But no, but you don't know. Is it? Is it?

[01:42:25] No, I don't know. That's the question is, is it because Paramount did this? Is this going to Paramount Plus or is this actually getting a wide release? I'm pretty sure it's getting a theatrical release. Okay. I didn't know because again, this could be a film that's getting. Mark my words. This thing does $75 million. That's my guess. That's a lot lower than $100 million. It's not. It's $25 million less. No, but when you're talking about it. These days, that's tough. I don't know what the budget is, but I'm going to guess $15 to $20 million. I'm going to say it's going to make $75 million. Mark my words. Okay.

[01:42:53] We're going to come back after Novocaine comes out. When does Novocaine come out, Nate? March 14th. All right. We're going to come back here just before St. Patches Day. And we're going to see what the book says. You can't because that's when it comes out. But they'll know by opening weekend. They'll be able to predict how much it's going to do. They don't know what the legs are. No, they do actually. They don't. They're literally people who this is their job. Where they see how much a movie makes an opening weekend. They say things like, oh, we can't believe that Barbenheimer was a big deal. Well, no. No one ever said that because everyone knew Barbenheimer was going to be a big deal.

[01:43:22] Actually, the one you should have mentioned is that. And this is the. Inside Out 2. Nope. Not even that one. Elemental. There you go. That's the one you're looking for. I forgot about it. Elemental was the one that had long legs where the opening weekend box office wasn't that great. And they're like, well, it seems like Pixar might have another, not a flop, but it just wasn't doing as good as they thought. Another good dinosaur in our hands. But it had real long legs at the box office and ended up being a pretty big success for I saw. More like Jurassic Lark. I saw. But these kinds of movies. That's what I call a good dinosaur. Novocaine. It didn't do that well. Novocaine. I call it Jurassic Lark. Yes. You know I like good dinosaur, but.

[01:43:51] Novocaine isn't the kind of movie that really has long legs typically because it's an R-rated movie and that's harder to get people in for as opposed to a family movie. 75 million. By the way, this, or I was talking on the podcast about does a lot of people want to go see Moana 2? Is this a film that we need to? And you had said, no, they're going to do really well. I think they're inching up towards a billion. Yeah. It's just crazy.

[01:44:19] It's in the mid 900 millions, I think. Yeah. Nate, will you go see Novocaine in theaters? Yeah. If it comes to theaters. Ben. Oh, yeah. You'll go see it in theaters? I saw Violet Knight in theaters. Are you going to see more movies in theaters this year with your new endeavor? Honestly, probably not. I'll say even less because it's harder to go to the theaters to take that kind of time. What would you rather see? Novocaine or Death of a Unicorn? Novocaine. Novocaine. But I will tell you, to your question, Brad, I do want this to be a good idea.

[01:44:48] It's going to be a year where- You go to the movies more? With the boys. Oh. Like Brad and Best? Yeah, like me and Nate? They have not historically gone to a lot of movies, and I want to change that because I love the theater experience. I want them to. They've honestly only been to a handful of films in their entire lives. I remember when we were his boys. It's just not something that was on their map. There isn't one of the movies anymore. But no, I think that we're going to- When are we going to go to the movies again? We haven't been to the movies together in I don't even know how long. Ender and Rune and I are going to plot out a few films that they want.

[01:45:18] I'm going to show them some trailers. I'm going to be like, what do you guys want to see this year? Novocaine? Violent Night. We're going to start there. That's not in theaters. No, I'm going to show them that at home. Okay. Do you like this? And they're going to be crying. And they say, okay, well, we'll go see Novocaine. Start with Mr. Nobody. They'll like that one. I can't believe you forgot the name of the film. Because they'll think it's like a Sesame Street character. Nobody cares. That's not the name of the movie. It's called Nobody. Can I end this, please? Are you going to go see- Your life? The new dog. Yes. What did you say? The new Dog Man film.

[01:45:48] Oh, yeah. I don't know. You know what? I saw the trailer. Dog Man looks awesome. It looks pretty funny. Yeah, it looks funny. Those Dog Man books, trust me, I've had to read quite a few of them. They're great. You didn't listen to the audio books? Pilkey? Dave Pilkey, I think, is the author. He's a very, very talented person. So are you, buddy. By the way- But yeah, that and Minecraft we're going to have to see because the kids are just clamoring. In less than a month, a film is coming out to the theaters that I'm very excited about. What is it?

[01:46:19] Less than a month, and we're recording in the middle of January, so a February movie- February 7th. Yeah, I don't know. Pickle Buns. Love Hurts. I think that's a movie that came out on Netflix in 2021. Nope. Nope. No, this is the new movie with Kei Hui Kwan. Oh. Looks great. Oh, yeah. I'm so excited. I watched this trailer again the other day, and I'm like, this looks great.

[01:46:48] See, again, another kind of actioner that's silly and fun. Action comedy. Exactly. I love it. Really, really excited about it. I love it. I am excited to see that one as well. Well, guys, it sounds like we finally came to something we can all agree on. What is it? You know how many times that we get- Man, the fact that you guys just play off each other, and you know when somebody's going to talk and the other person isn't, and it's just like, it's so seamless. And then that moment was like, oh. Yeah. What the fuck is wrong with you?

[01:47:17] Well, I don't know what you're doing, because it seemed like you were leading something that had- Yeah, ending the show. Yeah, but you said, we always, and it's like, what? Yeah. It's something we all agree on. It's time to end the show. But I didn't say that. All right. All right. I wasn't going to say it. Research the scamdemic. Let's go. God, hell. I'm so sorry, listener, for this disjointed episode of Go Flix Yourself. We started on a very sour note, and then-

[01:47:47] Yeah, you bet we did. No, and then Nate made it worse. No, you made it worse. No, no. Nate made it so much worse. No, because I don't think- You made it weird. Yeah. See what I'm talking about, Brad? And what, you're on his side still? You're making it so hard, Nate. But you did interrupt the intro to say, fuck me. Yeah. It was jarring, wasn't it? Yeah, you started off hot. Yeah. I did. And you know what? No apologies. Guns were blazing. No apologies. I don't know. I just don't- You know what's even weirder than that? Bye, everybody. Bye.

[01:48:17] I'm still here. Nah, cheat saying, eh?
