Episode 265 - Happy Birthday, Brad!

Hey, everybody.

Go, go, go, go, go, go Flex yourself.

Hey, everybody.

Hey, everybody.

Hey, everybody.

Go, go, go, go, go, go.

Flex yourself.

Hey, everybody.

Go flex yourself.

Hey, everybody.

It's another episode of Go Flix Yourself.

My name is Ben Konowitz, and with me, as always, is the.

Let's say you are the Good Friday to my Easter Sunday Bradford Omen.

I love Fridays.

That's me.

Yeah.

And then we're going to say that n Christmas morning to my Easter Sunday.

You're so dark and depressing and I'm so happy.

Morning.

This is like the.

Like the description and hey, listen, introduce your friends, the Ash Wednesday boys.

Oh, my gosh.

Boxer day, man.

Boxer day.

I've been wanting this for a long time.

No pressure.

This is my good college friends, my best college friends, Kevin o' Shea and Jeff Spanky.

Hey, how's it going?

That's Kevin.

Hey, Brad.

That's Jeff.

Are you sure?

Yeah,

I'm just gonna call me Ash Wednesday boys.

Anyway, can you guys do anything to differentiate between your voices more so that we.

Yeah, let's hear.

Absolutely, sir.

It's Kevin o', Shea, isn't it?

And this is.

No, I already have to say

no.

Jesus.

No, it's the same.

Let's try this again.

Let's try this again.

One more time.

One more time.

Two, three.

Hello?

It's me.

Good God.

I can tell.

How can they be clearer with this?

Yeah, we got this.

All right.

We're gonna have it.

That was Jeff.

Jeff.

My name is Jeff.

See?

Exactly.

That's what I'm talking about.

It's a birthmark.

Birthmark.

We were talking about this earlier.

I didn't know about this.

So when Roofman came out, I guess Channing Tatum did this promotion to get people to, like, into the theater to see it, where he.

Anybody named Roofman could go for free.

Yep.

Oh, okay.

No.

So he recognized that the 22 Jump street scene where he said my name is Jeff had like ruined a lot of Jeff's because.

Same thing with a key and Peele aa rom.

Exactly.

So for a promotion, anybody who had.

Who was the actual name was Jeff and went to go see Roofman on a certain day, they would get in for free.

And so our other friend Jeff told Jeff Spanky about this.

And what?

Just the cadre of Jeff got together.

So imagine a 42 year old man named Jeff on a Tuesday afternoon, showing up to the movies, buying a ticket for roofman from a 16 year old.

He goes, hey, I'd like a ticket for Roofman.

My name is Jeff.

The guy goes, great, that'll be 950.

He goes, no, no, no, I don't.

I don't think you understand.

My name's Greg.

That'll be 750.

Yeah.

HE WHIPS out his license, he goes, no, I don't think you understand.

My name is Jeff.

The guy goes, that's really great, man.

But still gonna be 950.

This whole thing turns into a 15 minute conversation where he eventually gets in for free.

So he, like the kid realizes that there was a discount in the computer.

It said Jeff.

I hope that he didn't.

I hope that he was just like, you know what, buddy?

I make $9 an hour.

Enjoy.

I don't give a fuck what your name is.

Go on in, it's a Tuesday you're seeing.

If you showed up and said, my name's Aaron, my name's Steve, I don't give a shit.

Please don't piss on the floor like the last Jeff.

How about that?

That's why the floors are sticky at amc.

Jeff.

Jeff.

We all don't piss on floors.

We all don't piss on floors.

Spanky.

You've heard it here first.

Hey, guess what?

You can't prove that.

Well, Brad, what's today's sponsor?

That's a good question.

And I wish that I would have brought it, but today's my birthday and I'm free of all responsibilities.

Yeah, that's not how it works.

Luckily I did tell you, and I believe I said this on the air the last.

You did last time you had an emergency sponsor.

I do have an emergency sponsor that I've got right here.

We got asmr.

So don't look at the.

Don't look at the bag.

Surprise.

I'm glad that you guys brought.

You brought listeners to the show.

People that have actually heard our show.

Yes.

That's awesome.

Regularly, daily.

So the way this works is we have a sponsor on the show that is definitely sent us money to have this episode on.

These are real sponsors.

They really sent us money.

Legally binding.

Legally binding contracts.

It's thousands of dollars an episode and we're gonna thank them by trying their latest snack.

That's what we are.

But you don't know what it is.

You try to guess based on the taste.

Hey, what is this supposed to be there?

It's gummy clusters.

Because all of that's exactly right.

It's almost like you have listened to

the show Ritz Chocolate Covered Drizzle.

Even freaking open these things.

Have you found those yet?

Yeah, they're In West Lafayette.

Mine.

I haven't found them yet.

Well, we have actually written a letter that you can't get them.

There we go.

There it is.

Thanks, I guess.

Don't look at the bag.

Don't look at the bag.

Don't look at it.

Can I look?

What's in the bag?

What's in the bag?

Okay, don't look.

Don't look.

Okay, now we're just beating a dead horse.

I don't think that.

I think they know not to look.

I'll beat your horse eating dead horses.

Here's don't look at the snack.

The sponsor's a dead horse.

The sponsor's a dead horse.

The sponsor's a dead horse.

The sponsored.

Stop.

Stop.

I don't know what's happening.

I don't like this dynamic whatsoever.

And if that means, like, if we're

freaking breaking into song, like, like, you

know what, why are you gonna be upset by that?

You like, for someone who loves Christmas movies so much, they're always breaking into songs.

You know what?

Also love musical theater.

Don't love it here.

All right, calm down.

Jesus Christ.

Why is it the worst?

This is the worst part of the show.

I hate this so much.

Okay, all right.

Another microphone.

My God.

These are okay, but those are good.

These are good.

I like these.

I'll bet you'll get some.

What are they?

Those are chips.

I want to say it's like tomato soup chips.

What do you guys think?

No, I don't know.

Chili maybe or something.

I don't know.

There wasn't enough chili flavor, but there's.

There's a little bit of sweetness to it.

Yeah, it was like a bisque.

Yeah, I'm picking up on the.

I mentioned the bisque.

Yeah, yeah.

Go ahead and look at the front of the bag.

Gazpacho.

It's Italian red meat flavor.

Oh, yeah, yeah, I can see Italian red.

Those are actually really good.

I like them.

We were in Chicago or.

No, we were in Detroit, Michigan last week for a stand up comedian, and we went to a bodega and they had a bunch of these international chips.

And so I got this because it was the closest thing I could find to ketchup flavored.

Flavored Pringles that Nate loves so much.

So I thought we could do that.

I thought you'd enjoy that.

Nate, did you like those?

Okay, good.

Not as good as the ketchup ones, but we.

We had to.

We had to pull them from him.

He was eating them halfway through the show, and we were like, we're Literally.

Still recording Pringles.

Still recording.

The fucking podcast.

Stop eating the microphone.

Yeah, they're so good.

Again, we want to thank Lays as our sponsor for today.

The thousands of dollars you send us, we, we.

We buy some cool shit with it.

Yes.

Thank you.

What did you get?

Huh?

What did you get?

Oh, you mean the thousands of dollars.

Yeah, I paid off some of your student loan debt.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah.

Happy birthday from the future.

Wow.

Hey, there'll be less.

Less debt.

What's the last movie that you saw, buddy?

Thanks, friend.

Well, Brad and I were just talking.

I think it was the movie no Other Choice.

What is that?

I don't even know what that is.

Korean film, Brad.

Correct.

And so I started.

Wait, south or North?

It's a Korean film.

This actually matters.

We're gonna.

We're just gonna say south.

We're gonna south.

South.

South.

Korean film.

It is.

Never mind.

It's.

It was.

It was fabulous.

I have a friend who every time he calls me up and says, I'm going to see this movie, I say yes, because I trust his instincts.

I.

So he takes me to this art house cinema and we saw no Other Choice, which is critically acclaimed and it's about a paper executive who loses his job and the upper scale lifestyle of his family is threatened.

And as a way to preserve his life, he creates a fake paper company, solicits applications for this new company, and then systematically kills every applicant for the job.

Yeah.

Anyone who might be qualified for the job.

Over him.

He is trying to kill him.

This is all part of the job.

This is all part of the blurb.

There's no.

There's no spoilers here, but it's.

It's about a man.

I was gonna say.

That sounds decently spoiler heavy.

No, no, no, no.

That's.

That's the basic five minutes of the film.

The premise of the.

It's not the.

That's the plot of the movie.

But the trailer of the movie says.

Yes.

What are you willing to do to preserve?

Much like Titanic is like the boat sinks.

Right.

But the movie Saving Private Ryan, like, they tell you the plot, right?

Yeah.

They tried to save Private Ryan, right?

Yeah.

You're gonna get him.

I get it.

But yeah, the whole point of the movie is like, what are you willing to do to preserve the life that you've come to know?

Anything.

Everything.

Yes.

Even though, you know, even.

Even including killing the people.

Yes.

Yeah.

So it was.

It was fabulous.

It's a Park Chan Wook movie.

Who did Parasite, old boy?

No, sorry.

Yeah.

Think of A different filmmaker.

Who's the filmmaker that did Parasite?

What is his.

The name of the Parasite director?

Kevin?

It's not Francis Ford Copeland.

Yes, yes.

How do you say it?

Yeah, it's.

Honestly, I'm not trying to be weird.

I don't want to say the name because it just sounds like I'm making up an Asian name and I'm not doing that.

Yes, that's it.

I couldn't remember the order because it's the.

It has.

They have changed how people say it recently in the past couple years.

But it's a great movie, too.

I saw it and it's.

Yeah, just great.

Dark satire and like, just enough Thriller vibes, and it's just.

It was laugh out loud funny.

It was also brutal.

I wasn't familiar with the filmmaker or his body of work.

I don't know Jeff all that well.

And like, I thought you were being.

Thought you were doing a bit like, it was laugh out loud funny.

This guy's just murdering people.

No, it really is.

It was.

It was laugh out loud funny.

But it was also really timely because he's working for this paper company.

So it's this.

Comments on sort of a dying industry.

And what do you do when the life that you've come to appreciate is taken away from you?

So whether it's because of paper not being a thing or because the job that you have no longer exists.

So, no, I really enjoyed it.

Cool.

Kevin, how about you?

Let's move.

You saw, bud?

Oh, great question.

So kind of transitioning away from these existential questions of dying.

I don't like friends.

I don't like either one of them.

I think they need to be better than what they're doing right now.

Because I don't like this.

I say this daily about myself.

That's kind of my mantra in the morning.

You wake up in the morning, you

need to be better.

You need to.

Great, great question.

But it's the fucking question we ask every.

No, it's a great question.

Fucking guest.

That's a good one.

Kevin's a big NPR guy.

Yeah, thanks.

And we're back.

Well, again, thank you to our sponsors.

Korean Lays.

Korean Lays.

Green Lays is also my favorite massage parlor.

What do you mean by that?

Yeah, explain the joke.

Oh, sex massage.

Oh.

Oh, Those are illegal in this state.

It's his birthday.

Are we letting him go?

Okay, yeah, we'll let him go to a sex parlor.

Yep.

Actually.

Come on down, girls.

Oh, no, no.

Oh, my God.

It is the birthday boy.

It's just a bunch of Nice ladies wearing Hawaiian leis around there.

That's all it is.

And then you all watch me get.

No.

What?

No, nobody.

That.

Stop.

That's.

But it's too far.

That's too far.

You can't watch.

No, I don't even want you to talk about this.

That sounds horrible.

What?

Just that whole premise is.

Kevin, what's the last movie?

Oh, great.

So the last movie I saw in theaters was Zootopia 2.

I think it has a lot of similarities to what Jeff is talking about here.

Laugh out loud.

Funny, brutalist at times.

Right.

A lot of deep commentary on social media, political things that are going on in the world right now.

What was it like?

He's not wrong.

No, I'm not.

What was it like being the only man over 30 alone in the theater by yourself, watching with families?

Bold assumption.

Bold assumption.

We saw it in Fowler, Indiana.

I don't know if you've ever heard of it.

Oh, right north of West Lafayette.

About right now.

It's 25 minutes north at the historic Fowler Theater.

Hey, don't.

Hold on.

Don't do that.

I'm sorry.

Don't make your friend Jeff laugh.

No, no, no.

Like you know what you're doing.

I made him laugh.

What the fuck are you doing?

What the fuck are you doing?

What was that?

What the fuck are you doing?

That's an insane.

First of all, that's a racist accent.

You were doing it.

You just did.

Happy birthday, Brad.

The girls could make it.

So whenever you're ready for this massage.

Oh, just start going.

Or just.

Well, yeah, we'll let you do it yourself.

Did you guys bring lube?

Nope.

He couldn't make it either.

Yeah, no, but we have chips.

Do you need those?

Oh, is she hot?

I don't like any of this, actually.

Now they've grown on me.

I love your friends, Nate.

What's the last movie you saw?

Did you like Zootopia too, though?

I actually really did enjoy it.

Yeah, I saw it as well.

It seems good.

Yeah.

What did you really.

Oh, no, sorry.

I saw bad guys too.

I apologize.

Oh, that's a different.

Yeah, they're both kids movies.

Whatever.

They're both kids movies with animals.

Oh, so they all look alike.

Yes.

Racist Ben again.

Are you Brad inviting us to the podcast?

Yeah, I know.

Sorry.

Sorry.

I didn't know you guys were coming to a clan meeting.

Yeah, no, I think we're gonna take

the Flag is for rebels.

Like it sing Same thing.

Animals Don't Tread on Me.

It said like.

There's so many talking Animal movies.

I'm sorry.

Wow.

Yeah.

But did all of the talking animal movies have, like, an allegory of, like, most.

A police state?

Most of them do.

Oh, dang.

I need to watch more animal movies

sometimes, guys, there's no other choice.

I see what he did there.

That's viral marketing.

Yeah.

I'm so tired right now.

Nate was the last movie you saw,

buddy, so I saw a film called Send Help.

Have you seen this yet?

Oh, yes.

Cannot wait to see this.

Were you going to talk about it?

No.

Okay.

Like, it was.

You did not tell us you've seen this.

Brad's like, it wasn't good enough to

talk about, but I'm pretty sure I did.

It's with Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'.

Brien.

Yeah.

Yep.

It is so good, actually.

And this is, like, a film.

Where is that?

Like, they're the only two in this film besides a couple other scenes.

Yeah.

So they have to carry this whole film.

It is a, like, survival film, horror film, but also has a ton of humor as well.

Rachel McAdams is fantastic in it.

I loathe Dylan O'.

Brien.

But he's so good.

But he's so freaking good.

And it's like you loathe him because he plays such a good asshole.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Or did he do something that we need to hate him for as an actor?

No, no.

These days you have to be very clear about that.

No, he is like the young CEO that takes over for his dad, and

he's just a bro.

He's like a tech douche bro.

He thinks that he can, like, yeah,

I'm better than my dad.

I could do a business better than my dad.

Hey, hey.

You know, not just like, not every Jeff pisses on the floor, not every second generation business owner is a bad person.

So.

So you thought it was good?

I didn't see it, but, I mean, I. I'm fascinated because you're dealing with, like, two actors who.

This is, like, their comeback film for, like, both of them.

Right.

I don't know.

Rachel McAdams hasn't really needed a comeback.

Like, Game Night was pretty big for her.

It was 2019.

I was saying, how many years ago anything that's pretty.

Oh, sorry.

It takes years to make movies.

It's so tough.

Was pretty big for.

That's true.

Mean Girls was a hit.

Listen, let me.

Let me ask you.

Hold on.

Let me ask you a question.

When John Travolta got Pulp Fiction, where

you're like, oh, hold on.

He was in look who's Talking.

That's a racist voice you did.

He's pretty much just still in the public eye.

Or did you say, oh, wow, it is a comeback?

Because that's a. Rachel McAdams hasn't been.

No, in my mind he never left, but.

Dylan o'.

Brien, I. I'm not familiar with much of his work post Maze Runner.

No, it's.

It's been mostly small and, and selective.

The one that broke his back.

Yes.

Okay.

And that's a little bit of an explanation for maybe why he didn't do that.

He did step away for a little while because of that, but also he's just been doing more low key stuff in.

Because of his back years since then.

No, honestly, just because he didn't want to get stuck in like the franchise route or like constantly trying to be like a big leading man.

He was in a Great Film in 2024 where he played Dan Aykroyd.

That's true.

On the Saturday Night Movie.

Yeah.

Wait, was he played Dan Aykroyd?

Yeah.

Oh, that's right.

Yeah.

Did he do Love and Monsters?

Yes, yes.

I love him in that.

Love him.

So he's great in that.

And then also there's a movie that came out last year that's on Hulu called Twin List where he actually plays twin brothers.

And it's like it's this interesting, dark, humorous kind of thriller.

Well, it's the kind of movie too where you want to go in and know as little as possible because there's a really interesting turn that you don't expect.

And it just like colors the second half of the movie in an entirely different way.

Cool.

What is it?

It's called Twin.

This?

No, no.

What's the twist?

I'm never going to watch it.

You will.

You actually really like it?

I didn't say that I wouldn't.

I just said I'm probably going to watch it.

But this is his first sort of step out of the.

Yeah, he's smaller.

Yes, for sure.

Indie films, 100%.

So, you know, one might call that a comeback.

I mean, I don't know.

Yeah, it's certainly.

I said my Rachel McAdams.

Dylan O'.

Brien.

I agree with.

Okay.

But.

But it was good.

I've heard it's fantastic.

And I want to also give to Rachel McAdams her due because she was also in Eurovision Song Contest.

Which favorite.

But even that's been a few years, hadn't it?

2020.

Yeah.

And you like this?

I did not see this, but are you there?

God, it's Me mom played the mom, so, I mean, but you're right, though.

She's not in a ton.

And it's always like a.

In a secondary role.

She carries this film and she's.

She's equal bits lovable and crazy.

It's so good.

She.

We saw these chops in Red Eye, which was not, in my opinion, a great film, but I like Red eye.

But even 15, 20 years ago, she.

I did too.

But, you know, it's clear she's capable

of doing with Jodie Foster.

No, that's Flight Plan.

Flight Plan.

It's the same movie.

She's genuinely.

It's a Dante's Peak volcano situation, but

one's going to space with snakes.

Not space camp.

Space on a plane.

Based on a plane.

God, I would kill for space on a plane.

Right?

Man, I would love more space on a plane.

I've had it with the zero gravity on this motherfucking plane.

That's the worst.

That's who.

Everybody shut.

Everybody shut the up.

Let's take a moment.

Let's take a moment.

Brad, Happy birthday.

What you had, you had.

You could have said anything there.

And the.

The.

The.

The string.

The string of nouns and adjectives.

And that came out of your mouth just now.

That's what you chose.

Our gift to you was letting you get that out.

We were literally like all bated breath over here.

Everybody held their breath.

And Brad came with that.

Listen.

Movies called Space on a Plane, so.

Oh, no.

Please explain.

So if you describe the space in the same way that you describe the snakes in the movie of Snakes on the Plane.

But you, you misquoted it.

You changed the.

No, I said I've had it.

With this zero gravity on this motherfucking plane.

No.

Okay, do it again, but with the voice that you did.

Yeah.

No, cuz there was a voice.

No, I'm.

I can do that voice.

You're way.

No South Korean.

What?

You were doing South Korean.

Wow.

You assumed that was a South Korean.

Brad, this isn't the Olympics.

Like, trying hard doesn't mean you're gonna succeed.

Like you can't do the voice.

Tell that to Team usa.

What?

I don't know what happened.

I don't know either.

Like, this might be the last episode of the show we ever did.

Why?

I'm.

I don't know anymore what this is.

I don't even know.

Because you're getting.

I don't even care, Jeff.

It's your fault.

Whatever.

It is my fault.

More importantly than actors, Sam Raimi.

This is his first film that he's done something.

I mean, it's the first film he's done since Doctor Strange and movies take a while.

Well, I'm just saying that was.

That was sick.

Or four years.

And then before that it was 2013's Oz the Great and Powerful.

So he's only done three films in 13 years.

He's busy.

Right.

I mean, what's he doing?

Yeah, exactly.

He's had fun.

Cool.

Like, Brad, what's the last movie?

Somebody.

Oh, the lamp.

No.

Thanks though.

The last movie I saw was the Strangers Chapter two, and it was bad.

Why would you watch that movie?

Well, cuz I saw Chapter one.

Oh, yeah.

Cliffhangers.

I thought, oh, that's next.

So I watched it.

You flip the page.

Yeah.

And so Chapter Threes in theaters.

And so my mom and I wanted

to watch does Chapter two take off right where Chapter one and.

Oh, God, I don't care.

Yeah, no, you're right though.

It does it just like.

Oh, and the next day.

And it's not even the next day, it's the same night.

Okay.

Yeah.

Picks it up.

Killers on the chase again.

I watched the Housemaid.

Oh.

Oh, it's so good.

Yeah, good.

We had a date night last night with the kids were at Nana's.

And so we're like, let's watch an actual movie aimed at adults.

And then we got done with the porn and then we watched the House, which honestly should have started with that.

What was the point called?

It was called Maid of House.

Oh, it was South Korean.

Yeah.

And it was, it was fantastic.

There's no other choice.

Yeah, it was no other choice.

No other choice.

You just got to watch Made of House.

Like.

Yeah, the synergy here is like very synergistic.

A lot of vertical integration in the movie.

That's more horizontal integration.

Okay.

If I'm being honest.

So this movie is.

Is very good.

It's also a kind of an outlier, I think, because it's definitely more than two hours long.

And so for a tight thriller to normally be, you know, 90 to 100 minutes, that's what you really need.

So looking at the runtime, I was like, everybody likes this.

We're gonna watch it.

But I'm like, how the fuck are they gonna keep this going?

And they do a really good job the way they tell the story.

It goes from thriller to kind of like almost 50 shades of gray type sexy thriller to almost straight up horror to back to thriller.

There's.

There's a little bit of comedy.

Not much, but it's just a Little levity, little.

Little break in the, in the, in the stress, I guess, more than anything.

But it wraps up and it, it tells the story from a few different perspectives, and I highly recommend it.

I was jarred by.

By a lot of stuff that ended up happening in this film based on where it started, on its journey, let's say.

Do you think Sydney Sweeney is a good actress?

No.

Yes.

Good.

No.

I mean, that's a great question.

That's why.

No.

So we don't think.

Yes.

We watched this show.

Answer honestly now.

No.

So, Mike, I was actually going to ask you.

Ben, like, in my opinion, I've not seen the movie, but Amanda Seyfried would blow her out of the water.

Well, she does.

Does.

That's what I'm just confirming.

So we've not seen the film.

It's so it's.

It's challenging to answer that because it really is honestly.

Because, like, when you're casting for somebody like that role, you want the most perfectly buxom, wonderfully.

Like, anybody would fall for that woman.

You need to believe that.

And so you got to cast somebody super freaking hot, and they do.

But she's just so fucking boring.

Like, she's just so boring when she delivers her lines.

Even when things are, like, heightened and weird.

It's like the choices that she makes when she delivers these lines.

I might get somebody emotional about something out of a cardboard box here.

So it's just so damning when we're thinking about.

Right.

This is an established property of a series of books.

Right.

So if they're wanting to continue it, that kind of momentum is needed.

Who would you have put instead of her to add that gravitas question.

Because you have to look at who is still going to be able to.

If this is moving forward, like you just said, as a series, and they're going to do this for the next five years.

Okay.

You need somebody who can age into it and not.

And still kind of movies take a long time.

Yeah, I've heard that.

So let's say that you're going to do four movies over 10 years, right?

So who's in their mid-20s right now that's still gonna look the part in their third.

You know, that's.

You're looking for a younger actress.

And so Sydney Sweeney is that person.

But this would have been a perfect thing for like Jennifer Lawrence or something like.

Or Rachel McAdams or Anna Kendrick maybe.

But they.

Maybe they are, quote unquote, a little too old to do that.

So now because of, because of what it's going to mean for the series.

So Ben over under Sydney Sweeney, after 43 years of age, makes seven and a half movies.

Like by the time she's that.

So she's 43.

Okay, I like this question.

Are those movies cinema releases or are we talking made for Hallmark?

Great question.

I'm not even sure what cinemas are gonna look like when Sydney Sweeney.

So you're saying when.

When Sydney Sweeney hits 43 years of age.

From that point on, she makes more or less than.

I'm trying to make an argument that Amanda Seyfried can make movies when she's 80s.

Yeah, she's gonna be one of those actresses, Cor.

She's Judi Dench, Helen Mirren.

Yeah, she's Sydney Sweeney.

She's 43.

How many movies is she going to make after 43 and 40 or 38.

Yeah.

The hope is that she finds a different gear and actually, well, I mean, for her, you know, like, seriously, like in.

As an actress that wants to be taken seriously as this is my craft, like, she should be looking for, okay, maybe I'm going to try to get better at this because men or women, looks fade and you need to actually have something in your bag to go to.

And if you just kind of like biting your lip and having big boobs, that's not gonna.

Do you think she takes herself seriously as an actress?

I think she does.

Do you?

I really do.

I really do.

I think that just like watching her in interviews and stuff, I obviously don't stare at this stuff because.

Well.

No, well, you stare at you.

I think she loves being in the moment she's in and she should.

I mean, she's incredibly successful, but I'm not convinced she considers herself a great actress.

I think that she.

I think that if you were to ask her gun to her head, lie detector test, she would say, I absolutely am an actor.

Like, I am an actor.

Well, and this movie is successful, right?

Like it was successful in the box office.

But I also.

I'm not sure if it's successful because of it's not or because the book series was very popular.

In the same vein, I don't think when you are a list or successful in any capacity, you are going to take those accolades regardless.

Right.

I think she, at this point now, because of the success of the movie, thinks more of herself in being an actress.

Well, in the movie she made this year that I think was a testament to.

That was the one that I'm sure four of us of the five have not seen, which Is the one where she was the boxer.

Christy.

Christy, yeah.

Who saw that?

No, I missed it.

Right.

Nobody did.

So on a film podcast.

That's not even the only one.

There's.

There was.

I think there's two other movies that came out last year with her there.

What was the one with Echo Valley?

Netflix.

Echo Valley.

That was one of them.

Then there's Americana with Paul Walter Hauser.

Yeah, yeah.

What was the one?

Americana came out in 2023.

No, no, it was a festival release.

Okay.

So maybe anyone but you.

Well, that was a.

That was.

That was commercially what I'm saying.

Anybody, anyone but you was the movie

that was a big hit with Glenn Powell.

Yeah.

And that.

It was Netflix.

Okay, sorry.

When?

I think I saw it on Netflix later then.

Yes.

So.

But I think that that was her first.

Like, oh, people are taking me like, oh, yeah, it's sexy.

But also, I've got a career here.

Right.

And the things that she tried to do after that maybe were above her pay grade because holy shit.

I think that.

So we're.

Let's mix our two opinions here.

I think that that's true.

I think that she got in over her head thinking, like, they're like, oh, yeah, we're cast her and everything because she's.

She's the new hot girl, but, oh, shit, she can't act.

Oh, no.

Well, so.

So Charlize Theron was the new hot girl 20 years ago and then wins an Oscar for Monster.

Absolutely.

Right.

Sydney Sweeney comes out with what was.

I don't even know what it's called was the boxer movie.

Christie.

So.

And we have not seen it on a film podcast.

So I think it speaks to that.

That, like, so even so, I think that Sydney Sweeney should hope for.

Yeah.

A Cameron Diaz, like, career.

So she showed.

She showed up.

She showed up.

She's back.

She's back.

She showed up.

Now that's what I call a comeback.

Right.

She showed up in the mask as.

As this, as the hot Young thing.

She transitioned to an actual A list actress that did work and wasn't really hated on for her performances.

Like, she was fine.

So I don't think that she ever won an Academy Award or anything, but I think that she was respected enough.

She didn't get accolades for stuff like

she was in Vanilla Sky.

So she did work is what I'm saying.

Like, would you call her an actor?

Yeah, she's.

She does work and she's an actor.

She takes herself seriously.

I think Sydney Sweeney wants that path.

I agree with that.

Here's somebody who's not.

She's gonna be able to do it.

Here's somebody who's not an actor.

Actor.

Rob Schneider.

Chris Kattan.

That's mean.

Don't do that.

He's not gonna.

Chris Kattan's nice.

Okay, then I say yes.

Rob Schneider.

Good.

Great point, Brad.

Thanks.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday, buddy.

A couple.

You're right.

It's funny because on the Rotten Tomatoes of Christie, it's like everyone.

The reviews are such that this is clearly her best acting performance.

Yeah.

And none of us have seen it.

And it's still cardboard.

Exactly.

What's the score, though?

65%.

Critics.

Yeah.

What's audience?

I don't know.

Interesting.

65% for Christie.

It bombed hard, though.

It was literally one of the lowest theatrical openings of all.

Almost as if people wanted something they didn't get.

Well, it came out during COVID What

do you mean, came out this year?

No, no, he's joking,

Ben.

Your humor.

Also, she does seem to understand executive producing, because the films that she does executive produce, including the Housemaid, anyone.

But you have done very well.

She's got like, three, and she's done commercially.

Those films have done very well on minimal budgets.

You know, I know we're probably not interested in this, but she did also launch her own lingerie line recently.

It was denim, right?

No.

Oh, no, that was the Good Genes campaign.

That's a different one.

Sorry, I'm conflating those.

That was.

Yeah, that was.

Yeah, Good Genes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That joke didn't go over very well.

All right, next.

What are we doing?

What's next?

Where do we go from here?

Oh, I want to talk about a movie real quick.

But you already talked about the last

movie, so shut up.

Ugly.

So I saw a great.

Ben, I don't think you're ugly.

Yeah, actually, can we put in, like, since this is an audio, like, parenthesis medium.

Ben is very attractive, and this is Kevin talking.

I also agree that Ben is very attractive.

I, Kevin, am attracted to Ben.

Jeff likes him, too.

I appreciate you.

I saw.

This is gonna be a little bit of repeat for Jeff and Kevin.

So I told them about this earlier.

Why would you do that?

I saw a movie called Nirvana.

The Band, The Show.

The movie.

Well, wait, what was it?

Which one was it?

Get ready for a story.

Nirvana and I. Fuck you, Joe.

Hey, guys.

Guys.

Hey.

Do we want to hear this or no?

Like, Jeff held up a finger gun to his head.

He was like, it's a birthday.

It's a birthday.

Yeah, Tell us your memory, Brad.

Happy birthday.

What was the.

So it's.

I didn't.

I didn't know.

Wasn't familiar with this beforehand.

I saw the teaser trailer in theaters and it was hilarious.

It had a Borat meets Lonely island kind of vibe.

They were like doing guerrilla style shooting.

It was funny and they were interacting with real people.

Like it was.

It was not necessarily pranks, but it felt like they were shooting a movie and like having real people involved without them knowing and it just looks hilarious.

It looked really funny.

So I heard good things went out of my way to see it.

And so I found out after I saw the teaser trailer that it was based on a show.

And the.

The premise of the show is almost the exact same thing as the movies.

These two Canadian comedians, Matt Johnson and Jay McCarroll, they're a musical duo of sorts where Jay, like plays the piano and improvises and then Matt Johnson, like, comes up with like lyrics to the songs.

They never actually written a song or recorded a song or released a song, but they're dead set on performing at this Toronto venue called the Rivoli.

So each episode of the show, Matt has some kind of new scheme of how they can play a show at the Rivoli.

And it's never anything that, like, should be something that gets them a show at the Rivoli.

But it's all trying to get their quote unquote band, Nirvana, the band, famous.

And I was barely listening.

Is this.

This is.

No, this is a.

This is a scripted thing.

It's not a documentary.

Yeah, full on scripted.

And it's.

It's.

And it's a funny, funny show.

And it exists.

So the movie is basically.

It takes the same premise of the show, but it's movie form and it is a makeshift version of Back to the Future.

And it's hilarious.

And the way the things that they do and like how they pull stuff, post certain gags off and everything is amazing.

And because they also did this with a lawyer to make sure everything was covered under fair use as parody because they do some stuff that is exactly Back to Future, including a score that Jay McCarroll composed that is like a perfect sound alike without actually taking the exact composition of the score from Back to the Future.

In their movie.

Does the mom try to fuck the son?

Yes.

And succeeds.

Okay, where.

Where some would say Back to the Future failed.

Right.

Okay.

And they did it.

Who says that?

Exactly.

Is there like a group of people that are demanding Back to the Future?

Redditors.

Redditors.

Okay.

Yeah.

You know, there is so, Brad, like,

in this film, though, like, who plays Kurt Cobain?

Oh, so bad news for you.

Nobody.

Bang.

Well, not because of that.

Oh, it's not really about that.

Oh.

Oh, yeah.

But no, it's.

This is.

This movie is.

Was so funny.

There's one moment in it I was.

I like.

I laughed out loud so hard in the theater.

The whole theater was roaring.

It's such an unexpected turn.

But what was the funny part?

Oh.

So describe it in detail.

So a guy comes in and he's wearing, like, a.

Like a Italian, like, wig and mustache.

And he said.

And he comes in and he's got his can of, like, tomato juice, you know, and he cracks open, he says, hey, that's the spicy sauce.

You proud of that one?

Sponsored by lay's.

Italian red meat.

Red meat sauce, chips.

You just crunch, right?

All right.

But no.

Well, that's the show, everybody.

Thanks for being here.

The movie should be expanding.

I actually went out of my way to set up an interview with Matt Johnson because I love the movie so much and to find out how they did some of these things and everything.

Like, it really is, like, you would

like it a lot.

It's.

It's so funny.

I hope.

Like, please go see it.

Okay.

Please.

Called Nirvana, the Band, the show, the money.

Yeah.

Okay.

What is it called?

Nirvana, the Band, the Show, the Movie.

The movie, yeah.

You always confuse V and N. You always do.

I know that about you, Bev.

Yeah, it's true.

That was.

That was on point.

That was good.

Come on.

The quickness.

Of course.

Kevin liked it, too.

Yeah.

Yeah, he did.

He's having a good chortle over there.

Everybody loves Kevin Kenan.

Kevin.

I like Kevin better.

Hear me.

I like Kevin.

Put the cookie down.

What was that voice?

Yeah.

Well, do your impressions again.

Chat real quick.

Arnold Sorcerer.

And go.

And take two.

And go.

All right, here we go.

This is my friend Kevin.

Is he deaf?

You cannot see my hands right now that I'm signing.

He's deaf.

You know what?

You.

You know, actually, you sound like.

You sound like Arnold Weisenheimer from Doug.

Doug the movie.

The cartoon.

Doug the ABC Family.

Oh, no, Weisenheimer.

That's the voice that you're doing, which is the fake Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I didn't have a tv.

Yeah, you did.

Don't you fucking do that.

Don't you do this stupid bit of yours where you pretend to be a poor boy.

You should see the look on Jeff.

He is.

He is flummoxed.

He is perplexed, and he is surprised

oh, you had a color Game Boy, didn't you?

Wow, Nate, I can't say that anymore.

I didn't have a Game Boy.

I didn't have a Game Boy.

You didn't have a colored one anyway.

I didn't have.

Dude, you can't say color and then colored.

I didn't have any Game Boy.

I skipped a Game Gear

before I told you.

I played Sonic all.

He didn't just have a tv.

He had a small TV in his hands.

Yeah, I never had that.

That adapter.

I asked for it every year.

My dad had an inn in South Korea.

We got all the game tech early.

No other choice.

No other choice, baby.

They want to do trailers.

Yeah, but we have to do a trailer.

So I actually have a trailer song.

You.

Wait, what?

I just thought that I.

No, no.

I literally just.

No.

God, no.

Okay.

But it's easy this time.

Oh, no.

Because it goes a little something like, It's trailer time right now.

Let's watch some trailers and talk about them.

Than Nate and Brad and Dev and Kevin.

Let's watch some trailers and talk about them on the show.

All right.

Thank you.

Because that was.

Happy birthday.

I got it.

Yeah, get that.

That's my birthdays.

Yeah.

They make me do a trailer song every time, and it sucks every time.

You guys know.

You listen to the podcast.

This is a podcast.

So what trailers you want to talk about?

You know, not the ones we watched.

Oh, let's talk about the original trailer.

The Big Green.

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you, Jeff.

Thank you.

The Big Green.

So Wonder years wraps in 1994.

Olivia Diabo's looking for work.

Disney calls her and says, hey, I gotta hotcut this movie about soccer.

We watched the trailer for two family friendly films.

Yes.

Kind of.

Yeah.

Mandalorian and Grogu is pretty family friendly.

Yeah.

This is the new Star wars movie that is acting as a sequel to the series the Mandalorian on Disney.

Disney plus brings back both characters back in the Star wars universe, bringing some more of Dave Filoni's characters from, like, the Clone wars series and Ahsoka into play for it.

And this.

This is a solid trailer.

It's fun.

It's very enjoyable.

What did you guys think of this?

Enjoyable.

If you've seen it.

If you've seen the Mandalorian and you're steeped in Filoni lore.

Yeah, I agree.

I think my fear would be for those that have no current on ramp.

I, of course, know what Filoni lore is.

I know that.

But for the people listening, that are kind of dumb.

What.

What's Filoni lore?

Filonian.

Yeah.

What's that?

Filonian tubes.

Yeah.

What is that?

Dave Filoni is.

What's the difference between the filoni and a misdemeanor sauce?

Okay, so Dave Filoni is basically George Lucas's protege.

Like, he really learned everything he possibly could from George Lucas's storytelling style and about Star wars specifically.

Then why does this look good?

Would you call him.

Hold on.

His Padawan?

Yes, Nate, thank you very much.

So he was one of the key creative forces with the Clone wars, which was an animated series.

Now, I've heard that is excellent.

It is.

It's an excellent show.

And so that, like, has cemented him as a very big creative foresight Lucasfilm.

And so he is one of the co creators and executive producers of the Mandalorian, along with Jon Favreau.

Gotcha.

And this looks, by the way, my two cents here is as not as big of a Star wars guy as you.

This looks great, like, even for a passing fan that kind of hasn't seen.

Because you're like a season and a half behind.

I don't even watch the Mandalorian anymore.

I watched the first season.

It was great.

And I just, you know, did other things.

But this looks great.

It really does.

And it ties in for me as, again, just a tangential relationship to the Star wars universe.

I like seeing the huts.

I like seeing stuff that I've seen before.

And it's not.

It doesn't seem like there's a lot of scenes in the Senate.

This is.

I guess my concern is like, they're.

They constantly do this thing where Dave Filoni specifically, he's either bringing in characters that people recognize from the Clone wars that he wants to see further their story, whether it's, you know, Ahsoka or anyone from Star Wars Rebels, which is the sequel series that followed.

And it's a lot of what they call on the Internet, glup, shitto stuff of.

It's like.

It's like, oh, it's this fucking character from episode five of season six of Clone wars.

And they brought him back for the Mandalorian and Grogu.

Wow.

And it's just.

I don't need this constant reference back.

I had the same concern, because when you watch it, you have to think to yourself, how much homework do I have to do before I go see this movie?

And that's my concern of it, right?

Like, I want to go just see a Star wars film without having to crack Open the textbooks of the deep lore.

Yeah.

Now, let me ask you, like, not a bit from my perspective, looking at this trailer and seeing, like, the hut, whatever hut that would have been.

Right.

Like, I know that reference is.

Is, you know, the hut, and now there's huts.

I don't also know anything about if there was a character in that trailer that was a deep cut.

And I don't think that I need to know that's.

I was right.

So doesn't matter.

Get it or.

Yeah, yeah, you don't need to.

But it's.

I guess it's just, like, I just would prefer that they were trying to establish and move Star wars forward on the big screen with something that, like, it doesn't require referencing back to the stuff we already know, a new story that exists in the universe and doesn't have these, like, forced ties to stuff that just because we're familiar with it.

Does it feel like a money grab to you?

A little bit.

No.

I mean, it's in some way.

I mean, Star wars movies, they're kind of always a money grab, you know?

And, like, they're definitely capitalizing.

Let's be fair, all movies are money grabs.

Like, everybody wants them to be successful for the housemaid.

But no, they.

They definitely are capitalizing on the popularity of the Mandalorian and Grogu, because, I mean, that's just merchandise, you know?

Now, for those of you that know what a Grogu is, because I. I know what it is, but, like, I've heard that it's a baby Yoda.

Well, I mean, so that's.

Because that's what they call him.

But he's not Baby Yoda.

He's not baby Yoda.

And the actual species for Yoda or Grogu that has not been named.

So we don't even know what kind of.

I was doing a bit there, but I really thought.

I thought that the.

That the race of alien species was.

Was Grogu.

No, that's his name.

And I thought that it was like, Yoda is a Grogu.

No, no, no.

Okay, well, see, this is why you have to do your homework.

Yeah, I don't like this anymore.

He's a little guy.

Hey, Nate, what'd you think about this trailer?

I'm excited.

This is the first film that John.

I love John Favreau.

This is the first film he's directed since Lion King, and so I'm excited to see him back.

That's because he's been busy producing the Mandalorian.

Yeah, I know, but it's just good to see him.

30 years since he's good.

What is.

He's an idiot.

I just don't understand him sometimes.

Yeah.

I'm sorry that I love Jonathan Taylor Thomas's performance in that movie.

Who doesn't?

But come on.

I'm kind of like these guys.

It looks fine.

The trailer looks great.

But the story for me, it's like, I'll go see it.

For sure.

It's a Star wars movie.

But nothing about it was like, I have to see this.

I also don't see going to see.

I don't see anything in it that makes it feel like it's.

It needs to be a movie.

I'm gonna say the same thing.

Why is it not just a Disney plus continuation?

And I think that's my fear is I'm gonna go pay movie prices for being in the theater in this economy.

No Jeff discount for you.

No Jeff discount this time.

No, I'll show my ID still.

Yeah.

They'd probably say Kevin, but it'll say Keviv Kevin, and they won't even let you pass on the floor.

And that's.

Honestly, that's very jarring to me.

Yeah, but it's gonna feel like, should this have just been on Disney plus

Jeff, where are you at on Mandalorian and Grogu?

I'm kind of with Ben.

I've.

I watched the first maybe two seasons and really liked it.

But no, everything you guys are saying, I agree with.

I don't know why it's a movie.

I don't like the fact that we saw so much of his face in the trailer.

They did show it a lot.

And, you know, it just seems to be a nod to people who know who Pedro Pascal is as a star.

It's a reach for the marketing department to be like, hey, man, I know that he's only in this movie without his helmet for like, three scenes.

And we're going to show all.

Everything because we have to to get bus in the seats.

And it's because when the Mandalorian came out, I don't think Pedro Pascal's face was as recognizable.

And so it's just.

It's just the latest example of.

We're going to capitalize not.

Not off of a story or narrative, but off of, like, a phenomenon of this actor who just happened to be in the Last of Us, which was really popular.

So it's like, hey, this is the guy in that HBO show.

Oh, my God.

You said something so smart.

What was the story we picked up from the trailer?

That's.

They're being very vague.

There's no, like, plot.

There's.

Bounty hunting.

Yes.

There's just no other choice.

Well, no, there was like.

We find out that he's a member of Slytherin and he's got a title, the Snake.

There was also.

There's an anaconda.

There was a he.

He turns into the Rocketeer.

That's kind of fun.

At the end, Grogu was tired of this gravity.

This motherfucking spaceship.

Yes, thank you.

Right.

Thank you.

They have the spaceship from Mack and me right in there.

It just.

It's a real who's what?

I think.

But no, that's actually a really great point, Kev, that the title of the movie is the movie.

What's the movie?

It's the Mandalorian Grogu.

This reminds me.

Mac and me.

McDonald's was such a big part of the movie.

We know.

Mac and me.

Yeah, yeah, we all know that.

Very famous.

Everybody knows that.

Did they.

Did they do a Big Mac and Me promotion?

Happy birthday, Brad.

Because if they.

If they didn't.

They didn't then.

Well, they did that with Jurassic Park.

Nate's leaving.

That joke didn't do any.

He got up and left.

Bye, Nate.

Bye, Nate.

We'll see.

Did you know not to nerd Catch

on the flippity flop.

Do you know that Jurassic park was the first movie to branch off into super sized meals?

Is that true?

Yes, it is.

I'm not making this up.

In 19, after the release of Jurassic park, they thought to brand the movie.

They would partner with fast food restaurants to literally dino size their meals.

That's right.

And so this was the first movement to, like, jumbo size fries.

Dino sized fries.

Dino sized drinks.

Wow, I forgot about that until you just said it.

That's.

Yeah, I don't make this stuff up, man.

How did you stumble upon this?

This is what I bring.

It's just.

It's all up here.

It's all up.

He says as he taps to his head.

You did have to go to the register and say, can you Ellen Grant me a dino sized meal?

Let me pay with my Jeff Gold doubloon.

And then the worker would say, I don't know what you're doing.

It's 9.99.

Sorry.

Let me give you my license.

What size fry do you want?

Dino size.

I wish Nate was back here.

I wish Nate was sitting next to me so we could look at each other like we always do when you do one of those stupid jokes.

What stupid joke?

And we just go.

Yeah.

No, I mean when three or more people are gathered in Nate's name, he manifests.

It's true.

Hum.

Hey, prophecy, do you want to play our game?

I would love to play game, but we have another trailer to talk about first.

I can't wait to do that too.

Okay.

We also watched the trailer for Toy Story 5.

Nate, what'd you think about it?

Oh, he's gone.

Hey, you know what?

I've got a lot of ideas and thoughts about this.

I do.

Well, Toy Story is one of the

movies when we watch it.

Look, babes.

You know how NATO is this, Babes.

It's his go to.

That's why I say all time.

I do.

It's right.

Babes.

Good God.

So Nate's really excited about toys doing five.

It's the fifth time they've done it, isn't it?

What's the story, morning glory?

Listen, I didn't think Toy Story 4 was necessary at all.

It was better than I anticipated.

Are you for real?

Yeah.

When we watched three, and that was the emotional arc of three, I think that when four was announced, like, okay, well, how could they possibly make this?

And they didn't make it as good, but it's still pretty damn good.

It is still pretty good.

I enjoyed it.

I liked three was daycare.

They peaked at three, in my opinion.

Where you think they're gonna die?

Four was Charlie McCarthy dolls.

Yes.

Okay.

Right.

And now five is Woody's bald spot.

Right.

Okay, okay, okay.

Keep going.

So you didn't think four was necessary?

I think four was necessary because three was so good and it felt like such a great ending for those characters.

Okay.

But then four happened.

Four happened, and it was fine.

I didn't dislike it.

I didn't.

I didn't love it.

But you know, this I'm more intrigued in because I think the premise is better than four was.

And I feel like that they're doing a good job of tackling something that's current and bringing it into these characters that we're already familiar with.

Five will be the lowest ranked of the series.

You think so?

100%.

How come?

I think every parent who sees it will be with their kids who are on their devices in the theater, and they will despise the attempt to tell them how to be parents.

Yeah.

I'm not speaking about the quality of the film or the intelligence or the.

No, no.

But I'm thinking in terms of audience reaction.

It will be panned, but for being politicized and too preachy.

But I think that there are enough people who, a, have that mindset about too many screens.

Hey, man, as long as Buzz Lightyear ain't kissing no man in this one, I think we're gonna be good.

And then B. Yeah, Lily.

That's the girl's name.

That's fine.

They can kiss all they want.

They kiss on that screen like I do every night.

I'll kiss that pass.

She'd been winking at me, but no,

I think I'm gonna meet Ham behind that dresser.

You know what I'm saying?

I think that they're also.

Boy, make you squeal like a pig.

Yeah.

Put that money in that bank.

I think there are also a lot of people.

Put that money in that bank.

Shut up, you pervert.

I want to get with that pig to infinity.

The bank?

Yeah, the.

The pig bank.

He's got slots.

He's got slots.

Oh, my God.

No, that Bo Peep chick.

She can peep me peeping that.

Yeah, get on.

You know, get on my.

Do Slinky dog.

Well, hey, guys,

you know what?

I just want to say I'm.

I'm part of this throuple.

You sound a little bit more like Sling Blade.

Sling Blade.

Not Slink Dog.

Sling Dog.

Slink Blade.

Sling Dog.

Brad, you were making some sort of point.

Yes, sure was.

I don't know if you know this.

I try to interrupt his points as

often as I did.

Notice that I think there are also enough people who think screens are bad, despite the fact that they still use them and won't think that they're being criticized because they're just like, yeah, we use screens, but we also do it reasonably.

But those people don't want to spend money.

They don't want to spend $50, take their family to a movie and be told that what they're doing is wrong.

Maybe.

But I also think that if they're going to do that, using the Toy Story characters to do that is a great way to make it seem not as harsh of a message.

Every parent loves to be pointed out the mistakes they're making.

That's true, Brad.

Good.

Right.

Well, also, what about Woody's bald spot?

Let's.

I mean, it's a great bit.

It's really funny.

But.

Yeah, if there's one concern I have,

it's that they sound 75.

They do sound older, but I'm worried that Woody was supposed to have a send off in four, and then now, oh, he's already back for toys.

And I think that's the critique.

Yeah.

The other part, too.

Is like the world is rich.

Right.

Like the idea of moving toys.

Phenomenal.

We could have like spun off into a different set of characters that are tackling that.

Yeah.

Like maybe like cars that come to life.

Oh, I love that.

Just pitching it.

Or Monsters Incorporated.

Part of it.

They're a part of a corporation.

Yeah, right.

Or, or what if we took a look at A Bug's Life?

Or what if we went inside out?

Right?

Yeah.

And then Coco after that.

Oh, sorry, sorry.

Yes.

Right.

Yo, you go inside out and then you go up.

Right, Gotcha, gotcha.

I. I mean, again, I'm not speaking about the quality of the movie.

I think the trailer looks fun.

But.

But I'm saying that as a 42 year old.

No, that's.

This, this trailer is appealing to people who have been watching these characters for 30 years.

Yeah.

It does not, I think, have the same cultural resonance as it did in 92.

Maybe.

But that's what they said about 3 and 4 and it did just fine.

And they, you know, that isn't.

It did.

But.

But here we are saying that four was unnecessary.

Yeah.

But I do think that's an interesting point as to whether or not people, parents will be offended by the subject.

I'll chime in on that and say I think that I have to agree with birthday boy a little bit more.

Only because it's that thing of, oh, they're not talking about me.

Yeah.

Every single person is so wrapped up in how good they are as a parent.

They're like, well, of course my kids watch.

But it's not like that.

Right.

It's not like what they're talking about.

That's somebody different.

I guarantee you that that's the narrative.

Because people are pretty dumb.

Again, I'm not talking about the film itself or is its merits.

I think it's.

I think it's gonna be great.

I think it's probably gonna be the smartest in terms of its comment on culture.

Because the first one was not a comment on culture, the second one was a comment on capitalism.

But this one's gonna be, I think, the most poignant commentary.

And if there's anything about animated social commentaries, it pisses people off.

I mean, I think you're giving people a lot of credit to have the self awareness to be like, oh, they're talking about me.

I think I'm giving people very little credit because I think any adult who's pissed off by a cartoon is small.

That's fair.

But I think there's gonna be a lot of grown ups that's fair.

I mean, I think we already saw that happen with Pixar films, right?

Like, we saw that with Wall E. The outrage at the time of people who were so mad at the commentary of the overly obese on those floating chairs just watching their screens.

It wasn't well received at the time.

It is a cult favorite now of Pixar films.

Right.

It's the art bro film of Pixar.

It's the only Pixar movie in the Criterion Collection.

Well, exactly.

Right.

So I think we have a blueprint of what that kind of outrage looks like.

It also seems like they're pretty clear that that's why they're making it.

So what was the cultural commentary that made a good dinosaur bash?

Oh, you talking about Jurassic Park?

Three

people just don't like dinosaurs anymore.

Evidently not.

Yeah.

Not the mama, you know.

Yeah, it's fun.

Did you really bring a game?

We did.

I would love to play a game.

Can we play?

Yeah.

It's me, Nate.

I'd love to play a game, too.

Good God.

I want to always do this now.

All right, so.

It's me, Nate.

Laos, isn't it?

Can we play without Nate?

Hey, you want to solve mysteries?

All right.

I'm a pastor.

I don't know.

I can't say pastor in a British accent.

Pasture.

I'm a pasture.

I'm a pasture.

Hey, Bo Peep can go watch Ben get his dinky in the little slaughter.

Whoa, whoa, easy.

Well, he's a piggy bank that he's trying to put his cock in.

You can't call her a piggy.

Come on.

He's a man.

Now that's disrespectful.

Isn't he a man?

Oh, boy.

The bank.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was right.

You're wrong.

This game.

Yeah, it's called.

Hold on real quick, Brad, you got to do the song.

Are you fucking kidding me?

You got to do the song.

He's trying to tell you the name of the game.

No, no, but we always do it.

We do a song for the game.

Just do the fucking song.

Yeah, do the song.

What song?

The song.

Come on, man.

Here's your note.

Here's your note.

Kevin, come here.

Yeah.

Oops.

I played a game again.

It was about movies, and we answered questions.

Oh, yeah.

Oops.

Okay.

All right.

Now do the second verse, then.

Can find my ba.

What is this?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right, well, this.

Sorry, I made him do that.

No, no, I'm not.

This game is called comments section.

Oh, and the purpose of this game, Kevin and I have selected five films that you may or may not have seen exist.

And we have comments that may have appeared on YouTube about these films.

They get increasingly revelatory as we go.

Okay, the goal now again, for those that are a little dumber than me, what does revelatory mean?

So, like, there's five clues.

There's five comments that Kevin and I wrote as if they would have appeared on a YouTube comment section.

The first one might be vague.

Okay.

By the time we get to the fifth one, it's somewhat clear what the film is.

It's a bit more relatory.

It's a bit.

Bit more purgatory.

So the winner is the person who guesses the film or the earliest, fewest amount.

Do we have to buzz in?

Yes.

And by that, you just say buzz.

Okay.

Or just shout the name out.

There's really.

Can I say Woody?

Okay, so we should.

By the way, just real quick, we should clarify that Nate really is gone.

Yes.

He had to leave to go pick up his son.

So we are sans Nate for the rest of the episode.

Yeah, I got here in it.

I just like that we end.

You, Brad and I just end everything with ID It.

And that's how we do a British accent now.

Hey, Nick.

Remember that?

Yeah.

Well, you're gonna.

You're gonna read them.

So just to be clear, these are not actual clues on YouTube.

These are clues that Kevin and I wrote as if they.

I love it here on YouTube.

We're gonna start off with a movie, and we're gonna alternate clues.

So this is the first comment you'd see for this film's trailer on YouTube.

This is adorable, by the way.

Just watching these two interact.

I love it.

Fake.

So that's the first fake comment about this movie.

And it would be that.

Any ideas what the movie is?

Jurassic Park.

Woody.

But Woody's not a movie.

He's trying to buzz in.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Because Buzz is his thing and I got you.

Yeah.

Jurassic park is the guess.

I'm going to say Cloverfield.

Incorrect.

Both.

Okay, we will continue.

Is it that one?

Okay.

What that mouth do is the second comment.

Okay, just a reminder.

It is what that mouth do.

Dune.

Ben Dune Part 2.

Both of those are very not close and also incorrect.

Kev, the third clue.

Clue number three.

It's too wet.

Fake.

What that mouth do.

It's too wet.

Woody.

Anaconda.

Anaconda is the guess.

I got nothing.

Good.

Both of those are incorrect.

Okay, good.

Okay.

The fourth clue.

Boobs were just different back Then.

So we got fake.

What that mouth do.

It's too wet.

And boobs were just different back then.

Wow.

What is going on right now, man?

This is.

This is based on the trailer, or

this is based on, like, the trailer that you would see on YouTube for a film.

Okay.

Or seen from the film.

Whatever.

Woody, pass.

We are the Millers.

Incorrect.

And then for the fifth clue, this is the one that should really give it away.

Okay, here we go.

Sucks.

We didn't even see the shark till the end.

Wow.

Yeah.

Jaws.

You should buzz in, though.

No, I don't need to.

They said I can get more buzz the MiG.

Close.

Ben.

The answer is Jaws.

I mean, I figured it was.

Oh, yeah, definitely also Jaws.

Should we go to Film two?

Yeah.

All right, Film two.

I'll start off.

This is almost as good as my game was last week.

All right, Film two.

There is a theme here, by the way, for our birthday boy.

Oh.

The first clue that you might see on YouTube when seeing this trailer.

Oh, my God.

I've seen it once, and I just didn't enjoy it.

Schindler's List.

Whoa.

Okay, Ben.

Close Encounters.

Both incorrect.

Because I think I know what the theme is.

As I thought.

Dude.

She wasn't in Little Miss Sunshine.

She wasn't in Little Mission.

War of the Worlds.

ET the correct answer is War of the World.

What's your name?

Brad.

Brad.

You're thinking about Dakota Fanning, who's not Abigail Breslin.

Very good.

Just for the record, the remaining three clues were.

He.

He just runs a lot.

Why did Andy Dufresne have to die?

And the alien sounded weird.

Yep.

All right, our third movie.

This is great.

Kev, start us off.

All right.

My cousin saw him once.

My cousin saw him once.

Woody.

Catch me if you can.

Lincoln.

Ben, out of the gate.

The correct answer is Catch me.

The remaining clues were.

I really thought we'd see him fly more.

Maybe they thought they were watching the 80s.

Yes.

Was this her first movie?

Amy Adams or Elizabeth Banks?

I was thinking Jennifer Gardner.

Oh, there's a lot of options.

A lot of options.

I really thought they were going to kiss when they were arguing.

The mom and the son or Tom Hanks and.

Oh, sorry.
