[00:01:49] Did you watch the... What was it inside the NBA? With Hannah Storm and Amad Rashad Amad Rashad back in the day I know those names I never really watched them I watched it every Saturday Did you watch it? I watched it every single Saturday

[00:02:00] I was never like a game analysis person I just liked watching the games But that was well before the internet So that was how you got your inside information Yeah Oh, you know Michael Jordan's mom liked to make cookies

[00:02:09] I would never know that if I didn't watch Amad Rashad on Inside the NBA There you go He was married to Felicia Rashad Or is married Just wanted you to know that This is a movie podcast Where we talk about the latest films we've seen

[00:02:20] We talk a little about a few trailers If there's time we play a game No one wrote a game this time And guess what? I have a special announcement Because this is technically our... Well, it's not technically This is what we're calling our 200th episode Right now

[00:02:35] Is it the 200th? Well, this is the 200th By numbers it is the 200th episode But it's really the 199th Yeah, because we never did a proper 100th episode So we're still off kilter And we haven't done the proper anniversary celebration So what I'm thinking...

[00:02:47] If you guys are cool with it I think the next time we record it And I'm not sure when that will be Well, it'll be in January The holidays are coming up Yeah It's the holiday season So whoop, dude And Snickety Snout

[00:02:59] Don't worry, I'll bring in the gout Yeah There it, hey Hey Alright, so you're prepping yourself for your song Oh boy No, I'm not done... No, there's no game No, we don't do this song for the game We do it for trailers We've never done that Yep

[00:03:11] It literally happens every episode Do I need to rewrite? Change the time Change the time Do you have to rewrite? Do you have to rewrite? Yeah, let's... Let's pull off... Reel it in Let's pull off the magic And for another couple of half an hours Alright

[00:03:26] What I thought was for the... For our actual 200th episode You're gonna do it live and in the nude Well, yes and no What we should do I wanna bring back like an all games episode So I think that I'm gonna write

[00:03:38] The Leonard Moulton game and the IMDB game And I'll bring a couple special guests And we will have our official 200th episode Where we play some games What do you think? I think that's perfectly fine Although technically it would be our official 100th episode

[00:03:50] And then we still have to do something for two Fair enough So, I love it Alright So anyway Before we get any further into the show I think this is probably one of the longest We've gone without Introducing our official corporate sponsor Brett

[00:10:40] Who gave you the movie Looper No Are you fucking serious? It's the last episode of the year And you couldn't deliver What are you, anti-Santa? Or Santa Anna? No I don't even know what Looper is about He didn't even look at Wow What are you been doing?

[00:11:05] It's like the one time of year I work You're not Santa Claus and it's not Christmas yet Okay So I watched a movie by By the way Hold on, he's about to talk about another movie he watched instead But here's the thing Written and directed by Ryan Johnson

[00:11:21] Also you said Hold on, he's about to talk about And Emily Blunt She's great How did you like her in Looper? She's great She plays Sarah And what does Sarah do in this movie? He's gonna ruin the whole movie Stop looking it up, Jesus No, this was great

[00:11:45] He's gonna ruin the whole movie You know who else is in this? Jeff Daniels I really loved his parts in here What did he do? He was reading the goddamn Wiki What did you watch instead of the movie? Not a lot, honestly There was more than one

[00:12:02] I didn't watch a lot So what did you watch? I'm trying to see if I did watch anything What the fuck, man Again, it's not like they start having church on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Okay, I got a lot of stuff going on right now It's Monday, Tuesday

[00:12:16] That's not even that good of a joke It's not even lent Also, if the same people are coming They're gonna hear the same sermon Just do the same sermon over and over again That's how this works Do we do the same podcast every week? No, we don't

[00:12:32] I mean, Ben does the same trailer song Yeah, that is true You know what? You're getting the same fucking trailer song today It's gonna be the most Wrote, like, derivative song I've ever seen What else is new? Keep adding I did want to go see Wonka

[00:12:51] Here's the list of movies I wanted to see this So it's not true Oh, I did watch a movie I can't remember what it's called Oh my god Jesus Are you serious? John David Washington's in a film that came out recently Sure The creator? Yeah, that's the one

[00:13:15] Do you just have the Wikipedia? No, I actually did watch this one Let me tell you about this one Because I was very excited about the trailer for this I was very excited about it I liked that they were creating a world

[00:13:28] Not a lot of movies do that these days Like a new world that isn't Star Wars Or, you know, some kind of fantasy thing that we've seen I thought there was I liked the kid actor in this She was very good But I didn't think it

[00:13:42] I didn't think it Followed all the way through very well I didn't think it It followed all the way through very well There were some parts there that just didn't fit well So those of you who don't recall, the creator Is set in the future where

[00:13:56] AI has kind of taken over And resulted in a war Where people are trying to stop it from existing and there's this like Inherent bias Naturally It's anti-AI Yeah, exactly People who are half robot What do you have against kids?

[00:14:16] faces. But I really, really wanted to like this film so I think it was still okay. It was disappointing to me so I didn't like it as much. So I had really high expectations for

[00:14:29] this film and I wanted them to create a world and maybe even revisit the world and actually build something of a franchise in this film. I don't think it's that. Yeah, I didn't necessarily need a franchise necessarily and I do think the world building is solid

[00:14:44] but it doesn't feel like it digs deep enough, especially with how often they've done similar stories about robots and AI and apocalypse and that kind of thing. But the one thing that I think that is incredible about this movie is the seamless blend of visual effects with practical

[00:15:01] locations where it's very hard to tell what is real and what is not and just how well industrial light and magic put computer-generated effects into real world locations. I felt about this movie kind of similar to that I did with Adam Driver 65 if you remember.

[00:15:19] They're fine and the lead actors are very good, right? So the problem isn't the acting, it just didn't feel complete to me. I don't disagree but I still enjoyed it definitely.

[00:15:29] Yep, I would watch it again like if somebody wanted to watch it but just not as good as I hope. The only thing you watched? Do you watch any Christmas stuff? I watched this wonderful

[00:15:40] life again. Jesus. Have you seen that? That's really good. What are you doing? Ben, you haven't seen it. I haven't seen it but you said that you have seen this since the last time we recorded?

[00:15:51] No, two times ago when I recorded it. He said again so. Do you like crying? Ashley asked do you like crying? Hey Ben, do I like crying? Yes, so much so that he assigns

[00:16:04] movies that other people will maybe he'll try to get them to cry too or at least be depressed. Hey Ben, did you get depressed the last movie I watched? Are you watched that I recommended?

[00:16:12] Yes. Yes I did. That makes sense. I tried to give Brad dead dad movies, Ben just any movie that'll make him feel. Or anything cringe worthy? Family Stone is not cringe worthy. It is not. We discovered that. Brad is not cringe worthy, is it?

[00:16:27] No, we had a whole company. I mean there are aspects of it that are cringe worthy but that's the point though and like Ben's problem is that oh didn't feel real. Family Stone do less. Hey everybody, welcome to the podcast.

[00:16:41] I dumped in my pants again. You remember when Ben said that? Yeah, I remember when he did it. I remember when he did it. I'm Nate Lux. That's not me. I remember when he did it. That's not even close. Yeah, geez. Something a lot more handsome than that.

[00:16:58] I remember when he did it. There you go. Now we're talking. Did you watch any movies? I did man. Thanks for asking. Yeah, what did you watch? Well, I watched the Family Stone. Again? Again. I watched Die Hard.

[00:17:14] Did you watch it with a vengeance? Yes, I watched the original Die Hard but I had a real stick up my head about it. I hate watching this motherfucker. How did it hold up? I mean I love that movie so much. It's beyond

[00:17:28] does it hold up for me? Of course the reality of the situation is that he's smoking in an airport and there's a gun on the plane. So yes, these days maybe that

[00:17:38] doesn't fly as well. Those are the good old days. Those are the good old days but man, you can't tell me when there's just so much about that movie that is all-time classic that just all other movies that came after. It's Die Hard on a Bus,

[00:17:57] His Speed, It's Die Hard on a Plan. They obviously had something really original when they did that and Bruce Willis is the perfect mix of wisecracking but not being over the top with it and

[00:18:11] believable even though he's running on glass and kind of is indestructible. It still felt like he was really getting hurt. Yeah. And that was tough because you watch the rock now and he gets thrown through a plate glass window and nothing happens. But at least back then

[00:18:26] you got cut. Hey, I've never looked- At least back then you got cut. I've never taken the time to look this up but I've always noticed it when I watched it. Is there any explanation out there

[00:18:34] as for the drastic change in the color of the tank top that he's wearing? Because obviously it gets dirty because it's white but there's a point in the movie where it looks like it's a completely different color. Like it's literally gray. Yeah or even like an olive green.

[00:18:51] And I don't know that other than they definitely went through the stages of he's crawling through the vents getting dirty. And then of course it's bloody dirty nasty. Yeah but

[00:19:00] it feels like after you see it in that state it goes back to being a little bit whiter. I'm pretty sure that's just continuity cuts. I just wondered if there was a point- It was 1987 when he

[00:19:11] changed or something or that yeah it was strange. Yeah no, I don't think other than like just the fact that they had multiple wardrobes. Okay fair enough. Yeah and then I didn't watch too much other stuff but I did watch my assigned film. Oh and what was it?

[00:19:24] It was The Eyes of March. Oh. Giving me my good friend Brad who I respect enough to actually watch the film Assigned. Thank you Ben. It stars Ryan Gosling. Are you listening? What? Yeah that's what I'm talking about. It stars Ryan Gosling and George Clooney and

[00:19:40] Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Giamatti. Who's the best actor of those four? Go. Yeah probably George Clooney by far. Wow. He's joking. I'm joking. I'm joking. It's a tight race between- Philip Seymour Hoffman is the best actor in that

[00:19:57] of in that film they are very good together. I think Paul Giamatti in that film is my favorite actor. He has less screen time than Philip Seymour Hoffman does but I think I like Paul Giamatti's acting better in that film however

[00:20:14] overall as an actor body of work while Philip Seymour Hoffman is definitely the A there. I think he's got the most eclectic. Paul Giamatti is the B. I think that Ryan Gosling is the C and then George Clooney is the D there.

[00:20:26] Yeah you just don't like George Clooney. I love George Clooney but I think that honestly- There's not a lot of versatility to George. But I would also never say that Ryan Gosling

[00:20:33] like you know five even five years ago would have fit that bill but after the nice guys came out it really changed the way I looked at him. Is George Clooney a better director than

[00:20:40] he is an actor? Depends on the movie but yeah but cleaning more towards no. I think Clooney has more hits as an actor than he does as director. So and even though he's it's a little one note the note's pretty damn good yeah you know

[00:20:55] but in this he plays a presidential or a presidential excuse me he plays a presidential candidate Ryan Gosling and Philip Seymour Hoffman are members of his staff Paul Giamatti plays a member of the opposing side's staff and it's what starts off as a

[00:21:13] bitter race for the Democratic National Convention representative to run against the Republican for the seat of president of the United States turns into more of a loyalty burn down the house that you were in is not really thriller but like there's an definitely more edge to it.

[00:21:39] I don't want to spoil it honestly like I want people to see this movie and then you can well if you get into the kind of the details on the second half of the film.

[00:21:46] It's from 12 years ago though I mean I think if you haven't seen it by now I just don't think I probably don't want to see this. I don't know that a lot of people have seen this film.

[00:21:52] I mean it got nominated for best picture. Did it really? Yeah didn't it? Am I from East remembering? I don't think so. No I could tell you exactly I was actually just looking this up his awards and he has won two awards George Clooney sorry because he

[00:22:08] directed this. He's one or he got nominated for best director for good night and good luck and that's it. That's the only direction that he's one or got nominated for. He best supporting actor he won for Siriana and he won for Argo. What was his role in Argo?

[00:22:28] He played Argo, Ben Argo. He produced it. I forget what his role in Argo was actually. Oh he was in it and he just produced it. Oh I thought you said he was in it.

[00:22:39] He won for it but he was a producer. Oh yeah he was a producer. So that's his second Academy Award. But yeah no I mean it's a very good political movie

[00:22:50] and I will say the Ides of March did win or did get nominated for Golden Globes but that's like the Meyer brand version of the Academy Award. And that's being kind because you know Meyer isn't

[00:23:00] a piece of shit organization. Wow. Just trying to fuck stars. Whoa is there some stuff going on with the Golden Globes? Did they hurt you? I mean they've heard a lot of people

[00:23:10] because they're just trash. It's an award show. How is it trash? I don't get this. That's an oxymoron. There's something to do with getting rid of acne. Wow. So yeah Ides of March. Did you enjoy it?

[00:23:24] I did. No I really did. I'm glad. Why did you decide to give me that one? You just scroll through the list? Really? Yeah fuck it. No I was scrolling through the list and like I couldn't find any good Christmas movie that I felt like excited about about

[00:23:34] giving you even though there's plenty you haven't seen and that I really like the Ides of March a lot. It's George Clooney hasn't directed... You love Philip Z. Marhavan? I mean I do but George

[00:23:43] Clooney hasn't directed a lot of... Did you guys know he died? Fuck. George Clooney hasn't directed a lot of like movies that are absolutely great but this and Good Night and Good Luck are two

[00:23:56] favorites of my time. No I will say watching the whole time I was engaged with it the entire time. I never felt like I only wanted to check my phone. I never felt like pausing

[00:24:05] at any moment like it keeps your attention the entire time. Yeah it's fantastic. Do you like this better than Good Night and Good Luck? No Good Night and Good Luck is like an all-time

[00:24:11] favorite for me so I love that movie. There you go so those are the two that I... That's it. It was a busy week. That's all. It's the holidays alright. Brad what about you? Oh hoopy hoop. And Snickety don't. Flippity flop. You didn't watch anything did you?

[00:24:28] No I watched... No I saw some things because I had to do some some catch-up as we got our year-end stuff together for Slashfilm so I watched some things. I did talk about Dead Reckoning part one

[00:24:40] right? No yes in the last episode. Okay all right so what did you watch that Will impress us? Go ahead. Oh gosh I saw the New Star Wars movie it's not even out yet but I saw it.

[00:24:50] It's not even talked about yet. Yeah no one even knows what the title is but I saw all the footage. Handoo. Speaking of Adam, Adam Driver has been on like the interview circuit right now with podcast,

[00:25:00] podcast that I listen to and I am really excited about Ferrari did you see that yet? No but I've only heard Mix Things so I'm not super excited about it. But he's very excited and I like Adam Driver a lot. I think Adam Driver is excited about

[00:25:11] a lot of things that he's in. Actually he says he's not in the podcast he's like I'm just really pushing this because I actually believe in this film but it's not that great.

[00:25:21] I've only heard Mix Things from people who have seen it. I haven't heard anybody like Rantain Raven but like oh my god you gotta see Ferrari. No one talks like that. No one talks like that at all.

[00:25:34] That's not the car sounds. So I watched a movie that is called All of Us Strangers which stars Andrew Scott from Fleabag. Is that a show that you ever watched Nate? Yeah. He plays a sexy priest in that show. He's a sexy priest. He really does.

[00:25:54] And it's Paul Muscal is the other actor and so this is kind of getting some awards buzz and I think didn't Paul Muscal date Phoebe Bridger? You're asking the wrong person buddy.

[00:26:05] This is Andy Music you don't know. Who's Andy Music? So yeah so this is a movie that is it's getting a lot of awards buzz right now and it's directed by Andrew Hay and it also

[00:26:21] stars Jamie Bell and Claire Foy. And this movie is it's kind of a trip because it follows Andrew Scott as this guy who's kind of a little bit like lonely he's living in this like high-rise

[00:26:34] apartment and there's not a lot of people in this apartment complex for some reason and he's having trouble writing a screenplay you know kind of like struggling and for some inspiration

[00:26:44] he decides to go visit his childhood home and while there he sees his parents who are played by Jamie Bell and Claire Foy and they seem rather young for... Say how does that work because

[00:26:57] Jamie Bell is like his age? Yeah so they and it's for the scenario but so he meets them and they you know hang out and that kind of thing and it's been a while since he's been

[00:27:04] home and they're excited to see him goes back to his apartment and then as after he beats Paul Muscal and has this conversation with him you find out that his parents died like 30 years

[00:27:17] previously. Hey Ben my mom died always with the dead mom stuff. I don't know if you knew that Ben and his dad died yeah they're together. I'm the only one that still has two living parents

[00:27:28] on the podcast. I get it and you guys should have done better. I just wanted you to know. So he um he's... I got both lungs too Nate. Gotcha! So he continues to go see his parents and talk to them like he doesn't it's there's no real like

[00:27:48] explanation as to like why this is happening or anything like that. So is it one of those films where you have to like start filling in the gaps it's only giving you little...

[00:27:55] It's like a puzzle piece movie. It's not a puzzle piece movie but like it just you figure things out as he as goes on because like at first you're wondering what why well unless you read the

[00:28:03] synopsis for the movie you're wondering oh why are his parents so young what's going on here and then you realize like it's this thing where he's whatever is happening he's talking to his

[00:28:12] parents and they're they're basically like seeing what he's like as a grown man so they have all these conversations where he's filling in gaps for them about his life and who he is

[00:28:23] and includes things like they didn't weren't aware that he's he's gay and so he has this conversation with his mom as an older man. Brad is this kind of like at the end of Silent Night

[00:28:34] when the protagonist is is on his uh maybe his death bed we won't say if he dies or not but he's looking back through and normally when you're thinking you're dying your life flashes before your eyes but in this film they decided let's make the child's

[00:28:48] life flash the dead child that you're avenging let's make that flash here and so we see things that haven't ever happened where the young child who died at four years old is graduating high school

[00:28:59] it's a kind of like that it's an interesting comparison but no because it's so fucking weird and interesting can we just say that that was so fucking weird uh but yeah so but this is um

[00:29:09] for me this is a really interesting movie because I I wasn't sure what to expect from I kind of went in knowing as little as possible and it's this interesting mix of eternal sunshine

[00:29:18] of the spotless mind in a way at least as far as the style of sci-fi because that's a high compliment from you yeah and then also about time because of like the time aspect and like what just kind of

[00:29:30] like being an older man and being able to go back and have conversations with your parents as they were as you remember them when they were younger and when you were younger you think

[00:29:38] you would have hung out with your parents I don't know in your friend group like if they're like you're you're held you 38 37 so do you think you would have hung out with your parents at 37

[00:29:48] when they would have been in that friend type of people I think probably in college like from the stories I've heard from my parents like as far as like them having parties at my like my dad's

[00:29:57] fraternity and stuff like that how about you know would you in your early 20s your father in his early 20s would you guys have hung out this is a very real no what about you

[00:30:07] I actually think I think my parents changed I think they got there's so much more fun now I know the reverse I think that back then they were very free spirited and I think I think

[00:30:17] the port seawall's gotta change them where they're like this is hard and life should be hard would you say that owning that company makes everyone a worse person yes damn brutal maybe not

[00:30:27] a worse person but definitely you take it less fun a lot more serious for sure uh my dad used to take off and randomly go skiing like he told me a story and we can cut all this but he told me a

[00:30:39] story about when he was like 19 he just got in his car with his buddy and they drove to Colorado with like barely a map just to go skiing and they got all the way to this resort but the road

[00:30:49] was closed so they just turned around and came back like that's a kind of dumb shit I would do it at my deadly you didn't have a map what are you doing with your life this is why your

[00:30:57] mother and I can't stay but he did that kind of shit he used to fucking go wreck diving in Lake Michigan with a guy and like find crazy shit underneath the water my dad's big thing is

[00:31:08] if I would say well I just thought I was gonna and he'd stop me say no son the problem is you weren't thinking that's his big deal yeah you know I'd say well if I just had more time or

[00:31:16] if I just went ahead of a better car and my dad would say you know if a frog had a glass ass it would only help once ah I think of course yes and you have that uh just burned into your

[00:31:26] skin just tattooed on my lower back for all to see uh so but yeah so so this movie uh it's it really is beautiful and like there is there is an aspect of it too that I think appealed

[00:31:37] to me more because of thinking about uh my my dad you know because he has passed away and it's well it's one of those things where after my dad died and I rewatched back to the

[00:31:46] future I saw back to the future in like such a new light because I was thinking about it in a way of be like oh man how fucking cool like would it be to be able to go back in time

[00:31:57] and like hang out with my dad when he was you know like in high school or college or something like that and so this kind of like it tapped into a different thing and like it's it's not

[00:32:06] exactly the same but thinking about like what it would be like to be a grown man whose parents died when they were like 10 years old and to be able to like have that experience of having

[00:32:15] them see what you are like as a grown man is like it's it's it's it's why it was wild and it really just like just like tugged on my heart strings but yeah I really liked it a lot so if

[00:32:24] you get a chance to see it all of us strangers it's it's very very good just go back to the when I was like my my my uncle Jerry and my dad at like 22 hey look at that oh great awesome this is a lot

[00:32:36] of fun thanks dad and uncle Jerry um I also watched a movie called anatomy of a fall which is another movie that has been getting some awards attention as well like golden globes awards attention no like real awards attention because we've never heard of any of these movies

[00:32:51] yeah I'm talking about like a like a circle jerk from a form for a dance on the sun or whatever I love to dance on the sun how'd you see it no this is a french courtroom drama thriller it is

[00:33:02] oh so pass it's it's actually wait did you have to read do you have to read this movie partially there's a good chunk of it that is in english yeah I've been in a hard pass

[00:33:12] nah you love reading I do though um but yeah this is a it's a courtroom courtroom drama and basically uh the the premise is that it's about a uh the legal drama that unfolds after a woman's

[00:33:25] husband is found dead outside of a house that they're renovating it appears as if he fell from the like top story um room that he was fixing up and hit his head on the way down

[00:33:39] and is dead but after it's examined by the police they believe that he could have been struck by something before he fell and it wasn't actually hitting anything on the way down that killed him

[00:33:52] and he was murdered it's this it's there there's a bit of intrigue about it but really what it just comes down to is kind of like basically putting a marriage on trial and there's a

[00:34:01] little bit of gong girl to it without the the sensationalist satire that comes from David Fincher in the movie because I love gong girl this is a little bit more grounded but the way it

[00:34:10] approaches the idea of how like a uh an entire relationship is portrayed to the public and like what the media sees and what the courtroom sees and how you like explain to somebody like

[00:34:21] how you argue with your significant other and like you know how how dramatic things can get and what it means when you say certain things and trying to make it so that like people understand

[00:34:30] like you know of course you why would you want to kill your husband or something like that no I only said I'm gonna kill you you stupid but it's it's a very compelling very very well

[00:34:39] acted drama and I did really like it didn't end up being like one of my favorites of the year or anything like that but it was it's very good and then I also watched May December which is

[00:34:49] oh yes this is the uh it's excited no I've been hearing a lot about this no no no it's about this oh wait does it make you sad uh Mary Kay Latterno right her story yeah yeah this this

[00:35:03] fast okay you're okay all right you know what go ahead go ahead Nate so Christmas movies and movies remember watching about Mary Kay Latterno when uh like my mom was still watching Oprah she was

[00:35:15] oh wait I mean she was a live huge story back yeah and so I'm really fascinated by this I've heard it's very good did you like it uh for the most part yes it's it's a little bit strange

[00:35:25] because of how director Todd Haynes chose to tell the story um and so if you if you don't know this movie stars Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore uh and Natalie Portman it plays an actress who is

[00:35:36] coming to visit Julianne Moore because she's going to star in a movie that is telling her life story and Julianne Moore is playing a woman uh who got impregnated by a seventh grade boy she's the

[00:35:46] Mary Kay Latterno right yeah and have had an inappropriate relationship with this kid uh and they had the child they're now married they have kids they have a family so I know this is not a

[00:35:56] bit back up a little bit this is but this is the story of the actual Mary Kay Latterno no no it's not it's not meant to be but it's but it's sorry I'm so sorry I thought this was like a biopic or

[00:36:06] whatever no no okay there are very similar biologists there are scenes that are directly taken though from this their story right that's that's the situation that the movie is yeah okay I'm sorry uh and so you basically watch Natalie Portman as she learns who Julianne Moore's character

[00:36:21] is how that relationship came about trying to figure out her and like craft her performance and that kind of thing uh but it is presented as a melodrama which can be a bit jarring if you're not

[00:36:31] anticipating it um equally strange as some people might see this movie uh and think that it's supposed to be a comedy because it did get an award in the comedy category at Golden Globes

[00:36:42] which again Golden Globes are bullshit uh and some didn't the Martian win a Golden Globe for comedy and some of it is how the Golden Globes allow studios to define what their movie is categorized as which is really stupid but having said that there are moments in the

[00:36:57] movie that are funny and the way it's played is you could easily conceive of it as being a comedy in that way especially because the way the score in this movie is structured is it's

[00:37:07] intentionally very over the top like very moody piano in certain parts and it plays it up for melodrama but it's meant it's still meant to be dramatic but it's not played in like the most uh

[00:37:21] like emotionally charged deadly serious dramatic fashion and that's something that I think a lot of people aren't used to and I'm I'm not fully you know used to that and so like even even understanding that it still feels odd to me every now and then I'm like that's

[00:37:35] that's a really weird like that you chose to put the in there uh so but the Natalie Portman Julian Moore are great in it um I just don't know if I really like the style of how the

[00:37:47] story and also Charlie Melton who plays the the boy who is now a grown man and is like you know in the relationship with Julianne Moore is fantastic in this movie too did they do do you

[00:37:57] think that they did a decent job all right I don't know how much the movie is focused on this but the actress going to prepare for a role with the real person it's based on for sure did they do

[00:38:06] a good job of like how that probably really does work in the in the movie industry I mean to an extent like I don't necessarily know the ins and outs you know how every actor does it differently

[00:38:14] but like there is an aspect that part was believable though yeah absolutely believable and and it adds kind of a layer of um I don't know does it give like oh well I that I would know I would

[00:38:26] tell this person this because she's my understudy in this moment to have they like it builds that layer of trust you don't have to earn yeah but she's but Julianne Moore's character is also very

[00:38:37] apprehensive about how she's going to be portrayed okay and so she's maybe like it's more reserved and so Natalie Portman's character does have to draw it out of her a little bit more uh yeah in

[00:38:46] some ways but it's it's also just like it's a struggle really to like get a get a good picture of like who she really is and like trying to see if there is this like I don't know uh unsavory or

[00:38:59] like like you know side that no one has seen like trying to find like maybe the skeletons in the closet there but this what what what makes them the story itself so compelling is that this is

[00:39:09] a woman who doesn't seem like a flat-out villain like the way you often see people who have groomed children or like our child abuse and stuff like that it's like a lovely bones kind of like oh

[00:39:20] he's the hit that's a creepy guy or that's you know that's a creepy woman she's a very normal yeah and so like the fact that like she was able to get away with what she did and like hey most of us are

[00:39:30] normal Brad you were complicated characters in the tapestry of life but yeah it's uh so it's I I liked the story I like the performances it's the the presentation a little bit I'm not necessarily

[00:39:40] sure why they went for the the melodrama uh route but yeah I mean so it's on Netflix if you want to watch it feel okay there you go Nate what movies have you seen buddy oh wait none I got one

[00:39:50] more because uh my my friend Nate assigned me a movie yeah and I respect Nate so I watched the movies that he assigned me here I got a quick question for Nate do you remember without looking at

[00:39:58] anything what movie you gave Brad not at all actually I don't know how did even watch his own okay remember what you gave me inside baseball how many times do I gotta ask you guys after

[00:40:09] you assigned me a movie what movie did you assign me never and then you don't watch it no I asked you at least two or three times a time hey guys I don't remember what did you assign me again

[00:40:17] you're like oh come on I don't remember things I know it's okay it's fine it's it's whatever all right we still love you I guess you're gonna do the trailer songs let's wait uh Nate assigned me cars too

[00:40:28] I love it I love it they go so fast they go so that should be the tagline cars dude they go so fast uh so no Nate assigned me the happiest season yeah so dupe did dupe

[00:40:44] so it's uh the happiest season this is a movie that's available on hulu came out in 2020 because you you had assigned me I think a christian stewart film right I did and you do remember that

[00:40:54] good and it was technically a christmas movie because it does take place at christmas I assigned you Spencer and so you decided to give me a christian stewart movie that takes place

[00:41:01] christmas and I'm not upset about it because it was actually a very good I enjoyed this one too you um did you see this when it came out Nate or did you yeah I did I saw I haven't seen I haven't

[00:41:10] watched it this year yet I had completely forgotten this movie existed until you assigned it to me I was like oh I never got around to watching this uh so what's cool about this I didn't

[00:41:18] realize this is this is directed by uh Cleo Duvall do you know who Cleo Duvall is Nate I don't like I've heard the name but I don't know what she's done so she Shelley Duvall's mom

[00:41:28] she would actually have to be Shelley Duvall's daughter because she's yeah exactly or no yeah but she not no no she doesn't she plays the the sketchy kind of goth girl in the faculty if you

[00:41:40] remember that oh yeah remember the fact oh yeah John Stuart yep John Stuart's the most famous person in that he is my farm who else is in the faculty josh hartnett found could jansen

[00:41:51] who john steward is by back then he was the most famous person not at that time he was huge no he still wasn't but you think john stewart's the most famous person in death of smoochy too huh

[00:42:03] well alive fair anyway so clay duvall ron directed this and it starts christian stewart mckinsey davis they play a lesbian couple where mckinsey davis invites christian stewart back to her family's house for christmas because christian stewart's parents are dead that's why nate loves it

[00:42:22] um and so but uh it's true is that you're so sad i would have hug you right now but then mckinsey davis starts to regret it because she hasn't yet come out to her parents and told them that christian

[00:42:35] stewart is her significant other and her father victor garber uh is like Victor garber is in the is in the running for uh for a political uh seat and so elison breeze in this too yes elison

[00:42:47] breeze and i was going to get to that and thank you very much for interrupting my next one did you know that uh but they uh so basically they they go and they spend oh i had to look up victor garber

[00:42:58] he's a fun character he's a nice guy he's a quick character so they go they go to uh mckinsey davis's family and spend christmas there and the family dynamic is it's a little bit uh stilted because

[00:43:06] they're they're obviously trying to like uh you know be good for victor carbridge reputation in that kind of thing very waspy yeah absolutely very waspy and uh it's what i really like about

[00:43:17] this movie is that it has the the makings of what could have been an over-the-top holiday comedy with all the the family silliness and rigmarole but it's subdued with a like in a

[00:43:31] an indian movie sandwich basically but it still feels christmasy it does uh and it's still very funny without going over the top without doing the like you know crazy wild antics that you see and stuff like christmas with the cranks and deck the halls and all that bullshit

[00:43:45] but it is it's very enjoyable and man alison brie she plays an ice queen yeah in this movie she is just just really just being a winch i think i'll go out of limb here alison brie pretty attractive

[00:43:56] and i'm probably the only one thing so that's a bold it's a bold statement bold plan yeah uh but this i really very holland has some funny scenes in there she's the third sister oh yeah she is

[00:44:05] very funny i like her whenever she pops up and stuff um but yeah it's it's uh it's funny it's it's charming dan levy is in it and he's also a delight is this amazon primer hulu i forget

[00:44:15] it's on hulu yeah me love doppelganger dan levy i wish that nat had the eyebrows of dan levy i wish i did too i do have to get my eyebrows trimmed every time i go to the barber though

[00:44:28] he's like those do those things are getting a little a little hand buddy a little a little a little hand when it is amazing how much dan levy's eyebrows are eugen levy's eyebrows yeah no he inherited those yeah those are some big puffy catapults hereditary eyebrows for real

[00:44:43] it's wild yeah that's funny so uh but yeah i i i like this movie a lot i'm glad i watched i'm glad you assigned it to me i'm glad you watched it very charming very enjoyable i give you good movies

[00:44:52] too much you do ben gave you a good movie and you just shed on it and then tried to spoil it for yourself by reading the wikipedia what you get i was nervous for you like don't read any

[00:45:01] further man it's a really good reading about it yeah but i will yeah and there's some fun twists in it too so like don't ruin it okay don't ruin you can step on it me yeah you better

[00:45:10] watch it over the christmas season i will yeah it's a christmas movie night yeah so loop-de-loop see a loop hickory hawk it's about time travel so oh boy uh i guess we'll do trailers now

[00:46:06] that makes sense ben i'm concerned about you no it's i've just been a daily a daily shitter my entire life let's tell me about it every single day once a day you want to do the the trailer

[00:46:17] it's an hour and a half long daily shitter yeah you brought your friend you brought the friend you gotta do the the trailer son that's not how come on and you have a trailer song for us of

[00:46:58] do you know why i do ben can't make songs up because he smells like poo you know trailer i guess it's better than i did like the trailer it's better than like the renditions of that he's done before

[00:47:13] yeah and by the way again by the way neither one of you chuckle fucks joined in with your normal you fuck ass well there was no melody there first we don't know what the melody is that's

[00:47:23] when brad and i do it we know where each other's going here's where you do it we don't know what path you're going on in life here's the dirt bullshit of it all is that brad will go like

[00:47:33] tray he'll get that far and it goes you don't even know where he's going at all you just start with a and i get fucking two sentences in and just fucking a guff falling dead silence

[00:47:48] to trailer time i'm dreaming of some movie trailers just like the ones i used to watch do with those movies clips playing and children saying i want to see that next time we're at the show

[00:48:13] the show but for now we'll sit back we'll relax on the couch see he's the and let it snow we don't know what the song is doing anymore oh you went to a new song come on actually hard to follow when i

[00:48:26] don't know a song you're sick where was remix all right we watched some trailers you're all welcome we're gonna talk about some trailers one is fun and the other one you're wrong about maybe fun i don't

[00:48:41] know it's gonna be great we're gonna watch the first one we'll talk about is called if this is an upcoming fantasy family comedy that is written directed by john krasinski i love john starring

[00:48:52] ryan reynolds and a cavalcade of stars as the voices of imaginary friends including steve correll and emily blunt and john stewart ban your favorite he's also in this bb waller bridge keep going matt damon my rudolf yeah sam rockwell sebastian manis callow let's calco let's go to christopher

[00:49:14] meloni richard jankins aquafina vince vaughn john c mcginley fred harris bill duke but bobby moanhans in this as well i love i love me somebody and he's actually not doing a voice he's playing a person yeah so anyway but this is basically a movie where imaginary friends

[00:49:35] actually exist in there yeah it's what it stands for they exist in a world separate from our own and something is happening to them and only this little girl can apparently help save them

[00:49:47] and i i'm not high on this one like you guys are you're wrong it's great um moving on i don't so my biggest gripe uh other than the fact that i don't think steve correll you don't like ryan

[00:50:00] reynolds i love ryan reynolds um i don't first of all i don't think steve correll's voice fits the imaginary friend character why you think that i thought you did great it's it's a

[00:50:10] dreamworks problem to me this isn't a dreamworks movie but like dreamworks often has an issue where they they cast big names for characters and their voice doesn't always fit the characters uh and i

[00:50:19] i hear steve correll's voice and it just doesn't match the way that big furry character looks to me because it doesn't sound like steve correll doing a voice it just sounds like steve correll uh so

[00:50:30] it's just odd to me and i don't really didn't really like that uh additionally have you ever heard of fosters home for imaginary friends of course this is basically a poor man's version

[00:50:41] of that animated series it's supposed to be inspired by sure but being inspired by it and just being a knockoff of it that doesn't look anywhere near as good is another so i want to i want to get

[00:50:50] through because you said dreamworks animation isn't really good at casting voice actors not that they're not okay because shrek shrek is a dreamworks animation hold on not that they're

[00:50:58] not really good at but no you you you put it all in one category you said you know what else is doing this is bad casting because it's like a dream how to train your dragon great great voice

[00:51:09] acting not all dreamworks movies have this problem but there there are freaks great there are frequent issues i don't is the cruise tree works yeah this you know that nate's looking at a little literally right now i would say that as one actually that i think the voices

[00:51:23] work very well i don't i don't really like the cruise is great i don't just like the cruise nicholas cage is the as a paycheck of that i will give you trolls isn't great

[00:51:31] okay um but that's it anyway uh i don't i just i'm not very excited about this i was hoping that to like this it sounded like a fun idea but it really just does feel like that they are

[00:51:43] like taking fosters home from imaginary people and just not doing as give a job imaginary people or imaginary friends um i yeah i don't know i'm just i'm not i'm not high on this one

[00:51:52] i'm glad you guys are i guess this is fun it looks fun it looks great it just looks great it has two great jokes and i will say the the marshmallow joke was hilarious and it is

[00:52:02] technically a teaser trailer though for sure but i i don't like most of what i see in this teaser trailer wow i don't understand what wasn't to like yeah it was fantasy it was whimsy it looks

[00:52:12] it looks like they put money behind it there's a good budget there yep the the characters and the and the cgi blend seamlessly it's a teaser trailer and you're you're gonna blend seamlessly it look it blends really fucking well like the character the characters

[00:52:24] teaser trailer is where you're like wow and we have to comment like well it's probably unfinished it almost looks like finished cgi i mean the characters are meant to be cartoonish in a

[00:52:32] real world so like it's kind of hard to compare to visual effects that don't look as good when they're supposed to look realistic just saying it looks like a finished product already i am just

[00:52:41] i'm not fully on board i would love to be convinced otherwise i hope that it turns out to be better than it looks i'm just not on board yet sorry what is wrong with you i like foster's home for

[00:52:50] imaginary friends better it's a cartoon made for kids what do you think this is an adult movie made for adults ew do you like do you like jan krasinski films usually i love the first two quiet places

[00:53:03] which are the only movies he's made that's not true what else is oh brief interviews with hideous men i have not seen that and the hollers oh he did direct the hollers yeah well those movies

[00:53:13] are nothing like this one but did you like those or no uh yeah i haven't seen brief interviews with hideous men but i do like the other three so i think maybe you should trust him you're wrong

[00:53:30] saying you're wrong i hope the movie is bad so that you have to just here's the thing that is anymore i just love ryan reynolds so much that i will watch pretty much anything he's in

[00:53:38] because i just i'll see it i enjoy him i'll see it no you won't you've already you've already said it's terrible movie i'll see it i would i would love to be proven wrong here's the thing

[00:53:48] if i think something looks bad i would love for it to turn out that that it's good i would much rather watch a good movie than a bad movie i would much rather be wrong than predict a movie that is

[00:53:57] bad and have it be bad but do we have a lot of theatrical releases that are kids movies like this that are full of whimsy no and i i i'm all about that i would love for that to have more

[00:54:06] often i'm just not sure that like doing a live action version of an animated series that already is not live action it is it is spire yeah i know it's not a direct adaptation but the concept is

[00:54:17] basically like to bring it into live action i had numbers i only found this out when i was researching the film that's fine so that's what i'm saying so like this is gonna have a far

[00:54:27] wider reach than that little cartoon you just talked about little cartoon yeah i mean it was a pretty little card they didn't make a movie out of it uh i just yeah i don't know i was i

[00:54:38] was hoping for something more and maybe i'll be proven wrong and i would love that to happen so i was at steve corral is a pretty good voice actor so he is yeah here he's not doing a different

[00:54:51] voice in his own so he didn't with grew either he what just that's what this is normal voice he puts on a voice in the office oh that'll be pretty impressive uh well the other trailer we

[00:55:03] watched uh is is an adult movie for adults it is an adult movie for adults beverly hills cop axl f maybe not the best title for this movie yeah i honestly would have preferred if they just called

[00:55:13] the beverly hills cop axl for lee i mean that would have been better than what axl f is that your joke no no i mean i mean it is my drug i just thought you were like saying like really that's

[00:55:22] what you're going with no but then you came up with it or do you read that on twitter no that's mine okay um but i uh i like this for the most part i do think that uh and maybe i'm just not

[00:55:32] remembering to bring in all the guys back bringing everyone back it really is bring everybody back maybe i'm not remembering the beverly hills cop movies as well uh as other people might

[00:55:42] because i've only seen them a couple times same and i haven't seen them in a long time i don't remember them being having quite as big of actions at pieces as it seems in this trailer

[00:55:51] right ben you've probably seen them before i've seen these movies a lot and uh so our resident action film there there are like this kind of this kind of feels um it's not quite as big but it kind of

[00:56:03] feels like they put axl foley into bad boys so yeah that's good this is uh in the in the original beverly hills cop uh the biggest action set pieces in the film uh where him causing chaos

[00:56:19] and havoc it wasn't necessarily him like in a helicopter right you know paragliding down and to save uh whatever or getting a huge car chase action blow up or whatever but it was him destroying things

[00:56:31] in like a store or whatever and so now they've obviously got more budget and and as the as the series progressed it got bigger and bigger i feel like they are making this an action movie

[00:56:41] first and then they're gonna like dial in the comedy if they can but you're right i watched this trailer i'm like there's not a lot of laughs to be had but then again the if you watch that if you

[00:56:50] go back and watch the trailer for the first one and it's it's eddie murphy being eddie murphy and it's what audiences knew back in the 80s what he was going to be so they knew it was going to

[00:56:58] be funny right nowadays eddie murphy doesn't necessarily equate to direct comedy because he's done so much so back then though they didn't need to rely on oh yeah throw eddie murphy in an

[00:57:06] action movie he'll it'll just be funny now you don't know what you're gonna get so i really do feel like it'll be funnier than you think i really hope though what they do lean into was

[00:57:15] the best parts of Beverly Hills cop which was his fast talking making other people uncomfortable playing with social norms that and you can update that for 2023 for sure i don't think

[00:57:26] they're gonna do that though i think they're gonna be lazy and be like he's gonna do the eddie murphy laugh as he i don't know repelled down from a helicopter the premise has enough built

[00:57:36] into it where he can do it right joseph gore letovitz his partner who dated axl's daughter who's a public defense attorney so obviously she's defending the criminals it's so there's enough there that i think comedy could happen in the the the whole thing of the

[00:57:53] first one was fish out of water and then they went from there but the fish out of water was the smartest one in the room i hope that he still is the smartest one in the room and he's not

[00:58:01] down on his luck it is hard to be like why haven't you advanced and it is the same shtick as always with john mclean yeah it's the same thing you know i just break too many

[00:58:10] rules where i get promoted and i get knocked back down because i can't follow the rules it's they're the same character in that way uh whereas john mclean is more wisecracking and

[00:58:19] ass kicking axl folia is more schmoozy and talks his way out of this if anything this feels more like a rush hour movie then with big set pieces and i don't know that that's what i want but again

[00:58:31] this is the first trailer we'll see what happens i'm all in i can't wait to see i don't remember what taggert's name is the actor yeah but uh judge uh rinehold yeah i want to see the team

[00:58:41] back to you that's fun to see the what where they are ashton is john ashton i want to see where they are you know literally 25 30 years pal riser back to i want to see it you know yeah this ashton

[00:58:50] returns the role after 35 years from bergahill's cop to paul riser after 35 years from bergahill cops to uh bronson pincho pyrrhusche pin chat um after 28 years from bergahill's cop three so

[00:59:07] then kevin baggins in this one yes yeah um yeah i don't know i i don't dislike this trailer i think i think it looks like it'd be fun i'm definitely interested to see if they give it a budget which

[00:59:16] is good you know and uh so brad would you like to see this get a theatrical release because right now they have not determined whether it will or not obviously it's going to go to netflix i'm

[00:59:25] but netflix might give it a week or two in the theaters i am always supportive of any movie that gets released in theaters before it goes to streaming i would love to be able to see this in theaters

[00:59:34] the first three movies so you would see this in theaters oh i would i would actually go out of my way to see this and i know i don't say that a lot but something like this that is just pulling

[00:59:42] it nostalgia for me okay i if they really and i know that uh obviously you know notwithstanding mel Gibson if for some reason they did a lethal weapon five i would go see in the theater

[00:59:52] like i want to die hard nine i'll go see that like i want to see those i don't think they're gonna make a dying those things that i saw in the theater growing up though that's the things that i want

[01:00:00] to come back and support because i love the idea that those have fresh ideas and stories to tell i know that in hollywood everybody you know wants to just take what already works and keep going

[01:00:11] that's why they're you know jason born and uh you know matt damon came back with paul green gre- what pal paul greengrass for the jays born movie that nobody needed yeah right that could

[01:00:21] though been great i'm always willing to give him a chance you know and i don't i'm also one of those people that doesn't think that a bad uh legacy will ruins the original trilogy yeah i don't care at all

[01:00:32] and so i want to see them remake everything because what if it's good would if they did another lethal weapon and mel Gibson was in it would you see it i would okay i love that

[01:00:41] see and again i think that i think that lethal weapon gets slapped on a little bit as far as what it did for what action movies are and what body cop films are i think that the original

[01:00:50] lethal weapon is almost untouchable as far as what it did for buddy cop movies i'm not sure if anyone sleeps on it i mean everyone was pretty well regards lethal weapon has been like one of the

[01:01:00] greatest you know buddy but he actually i think they get overlooked honestly do these days all right so big fan of mel Gibson we have a set multiple time give him another chance hollywood

[01:01:14] yeah so Beverly Hills cop axle f when to come out and they don't know yet they actually have not released a date is there really not a release date nope oh so like i said there's no

[01:01:22] i read as i was researching for that that they're still debating whether or not they want to release it in the in the theater at all like you know they're thinking about doing that so they have

[01:01:31] not even can they have not committed to a date to release it yeah because 2023 those questions haven't been asked i wonder if they're going to let the Beverly Hills cop tv show be canon

[01:01:44] because they did establish that eddie murphy has character has a son played by brandon t jackson of tropic thunder fame and don't know if they're going to include that or not i don't know if i

[01:01:57] guess is no i don't know if we said this before but if comes out may 17th so that'll be a early second it's may summer blackbuster no yeah may is now usually the beginning of may it's

[01:02:08] marvel made that happen when the star wars the two years before that yeah i don't know i made that up i think you're probably right passives come out that someone probably came out in may probably do anything coming out right after the first of

[01:02:21] the year probably yes but nothing good wonk is out now i haven't i just i don't know that i can sit through three hours and uh 59 minutes of killers or a flower moon i just don't know

[01:02:33] that i can want to watch it you know it's not four hours long it's three hours and 45 minutes or whatever is it really that long i just don't know that i want to watch it's ridiculous it's it's so

[01:02:42] good seriously and if you can party and if you can pause it stop being a baby i mean come on don't pause it just be just be shut up nate four hours it's not four hours it's three hours and

[01:02:53] 54 it is with credits it's it's three hours and 26 minutes that is dumb that is down that's not you watch titanic nate i hated it you know that did you watch it yes i you made me that was only

[01:04:05] i got it wow we got to sound like sequels you really did that was mine mine mine what i did say at the beginning was i want to write a lot of games for our

[01:04:18] 100th episode next time no no in our text thread you said i got a game for tonight and then i decided to watch my movie instead oh cool so you lied he didn't finish it because i

[01:04:27] came in and the movie wasn't done it was the last scene the last 36 it was not done It was not the last three days. It was like literally the last three days. Go up there and see where the film is. Ryan got like sitting in his chair

[01:04:37] and he's about to say something in a camera. And that's it. That's all I missed. This mother fucker. It was, I got all the way, that's the whole movie. He's not gonna say anything. He's gonna go like, and it's gonna cut the black. Exactly, no, it's almost done.

[01:04:50] And it was like literally a third of the way. I've seen enough movies. He's not gonna go and be like, well let me just ruin everybody's lives. He's gonna say, God damn thing, it's gonna cut the black. I bet you stopped usual suspects

[01:05:00] before the last scene too, didn't you? You fucking jiggily. If this movie ends up having a big reveal like that, that it's shocking to me, I will eat my half. There's no way it did that. It's so predictable that that was never gonna happen. Remember when he said,

[01:05:13] I don't wanna give it away because of this boy there's... I don't even, because I haven't seen it. Because you haven't seen it? No, I didn't wanna give away the abortion stuff or the fact that it was the governor's baby and all that stuff.

[01:05:23] He doesn't even finish movies anymore. I mean, this is just... I saw it all the way up to the last scene in the last 30 seconds of the film, Brad. Do you guys even wanna do the podcast anymore? Nate's not watching his movies. Ben's watching half a movie.

[01:05:35] I watched 90, literally 99% of it. You don't even know. I'm telling you right now, I know exactly how... It just, it'll fade to black. I guarantee it. I can write the ending to that film. I'm gonna find two new co-hosts because it's just not working out anymore.

[01:05:49] Do you think he'd ask Mitch? Mitch McConnell? Oh, Mitch from New Zealand. Oh, yeah, actually. Hello, my name's Mitch. Well, first of all, that's a British accent. That sounds nothing like this. I bet Mitch would watch his movies and he would appreciate them. Mitch, you would.

[01:06:08] He's a good guy, I'm a guy. He couldn't even say that. I know. Because it's Mitch and I love him. How do you fucking not... By the way, you guys should just meet Mitch. You gotta meet Mitch. We did, we were here.

[01:06:18] No, no, I mean literally on the podcast. I'm talking to anybody else in the world. If you run into a very handsome gentleman who's in his late 20s... Who's coming to America? ...from New Zealand, man. Coming to America. Just give him a hug for us.

[01:06:29] Yeah, well, Mitch will be back in the United States really, really soon. He's probably not gonna make it over here, but Mitch, if you're out there, we love you. Wait, if? He's out there. Mitch is out there. I don't know.

[01:06:39] I haven't checked his Instagram in the last couple of minutes. Mitch, I love you, buddy. These guys might not, but I do. Who said that? You... Nate and Brad. What? You said you didn't love him. I never said anything. I never said that.

[01:06:51] We'll talk about this off air. I love him more than you. That sounded like drunk red. Also, just to be clear, I mean on two different levels. I love him more than you love him, and I love him more than I love you. Whoa! Okay, you know what?

[01:07:04] We're gonna end on that. Nate, Merry Christmas, buddy. Hey, Merry Christmas. I love you very much. Brad, I do love you very much. Oh, Merry Christmas, but I love you too. Yeah, I love you too. Hey, you're the apple of my eye. You are I-apple.

[01:07:17] Ashley, we're really sorry you had to be a bit of a killer for this episode. I do apologize. I apologize for nothing. I know you don't. That's actually true. I'm really on brand for you. Where can people find you online, Brad? Always online. Okay. Nate.

[01:07:34] At Ethan underscore, and it's on Twitter slash from dot com is where I'm always writing about movies and TV shows. Make sure to check it out. And yeah, whatever. Who cares? Nate, you're on the Twitter? The ex? Yeah. Yeah. It's just getting worse. It is.

[01:07:50] It's like my whole algorithm, and I don't like these things, but it's like getting more right-wingy all the time. Is yours as well? No. Mine about it all. Yours is just showing Joe Rogan over and over again. It feels like it. It feels like it.

[01:08:01] Or just Elon Musk. Stop listening to Joe Rogan's podcast, and maybe that'll happen. My thing for me that sucks is I just hate seeing just terrible ads from just the worst companies. And also when you go to see someone's tweet and look at their replies, just seeing

[01:08:14] all the stupid blue checks of people who are just fucking crypto bros and just sex or shit. But I don't want crypto. I love my pillow. All right, guys. Well, hey, to our listeners out there, if you want to give us an early Christmas

[01:08:29] present, you can just smash that subscribe button, buddy. You could just pull over the car, tell the kids to shut the fuck up and give us five stars. We would love you forever. Anything else? Was that too awkward? No, I'm just waiting for you to end the podcast.

[01:08:45] They don't know what else to do other than I'm just sitting watching. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. Bye, everybody. Bye. Nah, I cheated saying no.
