Hello and welcome to the We Recommend Podcast, a movie podcast where every week we recommend a movie for you to watch and then come back here and listen to us discuss.
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:12.000
I'm Jesse.
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:13.279
And I'm Jason.
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:15.759
Cities fall, but they are rebuilt.
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.239
Heroes die, but they are remembered.
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:28.879
Because this week we recommend Deep Impact! It's a really good Morgan Freeman.
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:30.320
Was that a good Morgan Freeman?
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:31.920
I have no Morgan Freeman.
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:34.320
I was like, I guess I'll just try something real quick.
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:35.759
I don't think I've ever tried it, dude.
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:37.200
For the moment.
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:38.719
Morgan Freeman.
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:40.000
Great American actor.
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:41.679
Our president and our god.
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:46.159
Jason, did you enjoy Deep Impact?
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:46.960
I did.
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:48.399
Did it hurt your heart?
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:49.759
A little bit.
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:51.679
It was just it was all sad.
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:53.280
Yeah, so much sadness.
00:00:53.520 --> 00:01:01.520
I I think I've realized that like when I watch movies super early in the morning, like I am emotionally uh sensitive.
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:03.119
I'm just like very sensitive.
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.079
Because it just kept cutting to people crying and like sad faces.
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.719
And I was like, keep it together, keep it together.
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:14.079
Um, so I guess you know, this or Armageddon, Jason.
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:15.040
I don't know, man.
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:15.599
That's tough.
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.519
I mean, I guess Armageddon because it's more fun, but I did enjoy this one.
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.439
I actually I think Deep Impact is my between the two.
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:28.319
Because so, first of all, like 30 something minutes shorter.
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:29.040
Yeah, that's nice.
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:30.159
God bless America.
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:31.200
Let's go.
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:32.159
Hmm.
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:33.920
Um, but I also like this one more.
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.239
It's it's more of a serious look at what might happen.
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:36.560
Yeah.
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:39.280
You know, takes it a little more seriously, which is nice.
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:43.359
It really makes you feel hey, this would suck.
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.680
By the way, did you know this sucks?
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:52.400
Yeah, and I feel it was it was uh it felt comforting in a weird way that Morgan Freeman as president had a plan.
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:53.040
Yeah.
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.280
That wasn't just could you could you just imagine if it happened now?
00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.280
Donald Trump, yeah.
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:06.560
Democrats send a comment straight for sending ice to the comment.
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:07.920
Oh damn.
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:10.719
Um, but I wouldn't object to that.
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:19.680
Uh so like I think it was like the shots of people like watching around the world as president speaks, you know, like whenever he's like, we're gonna die.
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:39.840
And then you just see people just like kind of it's especially like whenever you have the family with um Leo, little uh Elijah Wood, and you got like the two families sitting together, like the super pregnant wife, and they're all just kind of watching around, just like, oh, is is the asteroid gonna like comic gonna blow up?
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:51.439
And then they're all sitting there, and then you just see that no, it's not, and it's just like um everybody just becomes very worried for a second, and it's just it's kind of chilling, especially when it like pans to the pregnant woman.
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:56.080
It's like no blowing up the beat.
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.360
I mean, and then like seeing the kids, it's I don't know.
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:08.319
It's just it I feel like this movie earns the emotional weight of it versus Armageddon, where it's like, hey, you know that shitty guy that's been kind of dumb and you don't really like.
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:20.639
Well, now he's gonna say in a very emotional speech, and we're gonna rev up the sound the soundtrack to make you force you to feel emotions even though we did not earn them at all because this guy's been shitty the whole time.
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:26.400
And but and you know, I guess uh this overall the characters were better in this.
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:27.120
I think so too.
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:27.919
Not as fun.
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:39.840
I do agree that this movie's not as fun because I spent like the last like 30 minutes and like um so do you prefer a more serious take or do you like movies?
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.400
Do you think the this movie should have more action?
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:44.879
I like the more serious take.
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:45.919
Yeah.
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.759
And it's also great that this movie um less than 50 minutes in, you're on the asteroid or a comet.
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:52.319
And it's like, hey.
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:55.439
Hey, we're in space, we're on the comet.
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.360
He's like, we don't need that slow walk to the space shuttle.
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.319
We don't need you to feel like these are heroes.
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.919
It's like instead, this movie's like, hey, these people are shitty right now.
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.840
Uh, but then we're gonna convince you, hey, they're actually just people.
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:11.759
They might mess up just the right way.
00:04:12.000
Load full transcript
--> 00:04:13.039
Yeah, exactly.
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:19.199
Um, so do you think it got um do you think it got how people would react accurately?
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:21.279
I I guess.
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:23.279
I mean, I expected a lot more panicking.
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:30.160
Yeah, they just kind of breeze through and be like, hey, on the news stuff is happening, but not in these characters' lives.
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:30.639
Yeah.
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.560
They gave the announcement and he's like, don't do shit.
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.480
The military's gonna be out there.
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:37.600
We're gonna figure it out.
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:42.720
Rot looting is, you know, we're gonna we're gonna take control of everything, martial law.
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:47.199
Yeah, it's like, hey guys, go to Colorado, go to a mountain.
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:48.720
What is taking so long?
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:53.040
Leave your leave the East Coast.
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.480
Go to mountains, if you've heard of them.
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:57.120
Yeah.
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:58.319
He should have said that.
00:04:58.480 --> 00:04:58.720
Yeah.
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:09.519
I hate it when I write panic, but I also like, you know, we just had the snowstorm and try to ordered Walmart delivery today, and like half the stuff had to be substituted because you know, people panic bought everything.
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:10.160
Yes.
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.560
Which is what would happen if that happened.
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:13.920
Well, we'd probably just all start killing.
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:18.879
I'd like to know he's gonna enforce the uh price, the no price gouging.
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:20.319
I know.
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.639
It's like, hey, it turns out can't happen.
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.519
We learned four years ago that doesn't work.
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.480
And hey, if they go up, they don't go back down, apparently.
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:30.000
Never surprising.
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.639
Um, so uh does this movie not have enough distract destruction?
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:36.160
I don't know.
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.759
I had a lot like the part with the wave is crashing into everyone.
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:40.720
We need more.
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.560
Yeah, that was that was kind of badass.
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.160
Like two to three more minutes of just like, here's things getting destroyed.
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:48.240
Yeah.
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.519
I mean, it's watching, you know.
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.000
But I guess that was kind of the problem with Armageddon too.
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.759
It's like, hey, we want to see the asteroid hit more places.
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:00.000
Why are you just showing like one or two instances?
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.240
Like, we want destruction on Earth.
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:03.680
Like, I don't really care.
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:07.920
That's why um kind of kills me, uh killed me a little bit about Armageddon.
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:13.360
They do all that stuff on the asteroid, and I'm like, disaster movie, I want to hit Earth.
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:18.399
Not I want to spend 40 minutes on an asteroid that just looks the same over and over.
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.279
Well, um, if you think about it though, most of those asteroids are gonna hit the water anyway.
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:24.240
Yeah, because yeah.
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.839
This and these two things could be happening.
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:31.199
What if they were both having both movies at the same time?
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:39.680
The other side of the earth is two shuttles, like the other side of the United States, and these people like send one up at the same time and they meet up there, like, hey, what are you doing here?
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:40.560
Hey, what are you doing here?
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:41.680
It's like, hey, watch out.
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:43.439
We got a guy with space dementia.
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:45.519
By the way, did y'all bring any guns with you?
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:46.879
No, why would we need guns?
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:47.920
We're going on an asteroid.
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:49.040
It's like, I know that.
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:51.199
Well, we brought two.
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.000
Also, one of them's a gatling going, like, what?
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:55.759
Give us all your nukes.
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:05.040
Uh um, so yeah, a line was edited in the president's uh press conference scene.
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:08.480
So President Beck stated, Life will go on, we will prevail.
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.759
Originally, President Beck said Life will go on, we will prevail.
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:13.360
This is not Armageddon.
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:15.439
The producers were like, nah, dog.
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.079
I don't know if you heard Armageddon's coming out.
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:19.360
We can't do this.
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:33.600
Which um, so uh Deep Impact was in development first, as Paramount Pictures and Dreamworks were working on the project before Disney's Armageddon was rushed into production to compete, following the premise of a similar impending asteroid threat.
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:45.439
Um, and apparently, um, while it's not definitely proven as legal theft, Disney widely believed to have fast-tracked Armageddon to directly compete with Paramount Steep Impact after learning of its premise.
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:50.560
Both films featuring similar plots stopping a world uh ending to asteroid.
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:57.759
Um there was something uh so there's like an allegation by uh screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin.
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:04.879
Uh stated that a Disney executive took notes during a meeting where he discussed the film's premise, suggesting the idea was lifted then.
00:08:05.839 -->
00:08:08.720
So yeah, Disney was just straight up, we can do it.
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:10.000
But better.
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:16.800
But ultimately this movie made um so I guess uh Armageddon made 554 million.
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.399
Deep Impact only made 349 million.
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:25.920
But because Armageddon was so much more expensive to make, um what was it?
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:34.559
Yeah, it was like uh So yeah, Armageddon had a hundred and forty million budget versus Deep Impact had a$75 to$80 million budget.
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:38.320
And so it ended up making it was more profitable, as they say.
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:39.360
That's crazy.
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:39.919
Yeah.
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:43.440
Um and let's see, it had a bunch more.
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:49.120
So uh Morgan So yeah, Morgan Freeman wanted his character, President Beck, to be wearing an earring.
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.799
Director Mimi Letter um turned him down.
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:58.720
Later we see President addressing the nation from the Oval Office, his sleeves are rolled up, and one of Freeman's tattoos is showing showing.
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:02.960
The director like this gave the president an everyman look.
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.720
I imagine earrings were very popular back then.
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:07.039
Yeah.
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:10.320
You know what movie I want to see?
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:11.840
They remake one of these, yeah.
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:14.960
Like comet crashing in the earth.
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:22.320
You send the people up there with all the nukes, then they find out, oh shit, uh the comet's not actually gonna hit us, it's gonna miss us by like an inch.
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:25.600
And then the guys up there are like, we got all these nukes.
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:26.240
What are we gonna say?
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.320
How about we give them a hell of a fireworks show?
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.519
You hold the earth hostage for money.
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:34.320
That's true.
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.519
It's like, it's like send us a bunch of cash up here.
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:39.360
Like, where are we gonna spend it?
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:40.320
I don't know.
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:42.480
We'll create an economy on Mars.
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:44.080
Like it's Sky Mart.
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.960
Um, so subsequent to his performance as the U.S.
00:09:49.039 --> 00:10:04.000
president in this film, Morgan Freeman, whose name was added largely largely in jest, received a score in the 90s when a survey of Americans who were asked who would they feel most competent to have a pres as president, he handedly beat all the candidates, including many well-known actual contenders for office.
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:10.960
So people were like, hey, we'd rather have Morgan Freeman as a president than other presidents at the time.
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:11.759
Hell yeah.
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.279
Um you see they're trying to steal Morgan's feet Morgan's thunder.
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.320
With all the penguin pictures that they're posting now?
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:19.919
Oh man.
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:25.039
Who is so there's these a series of photos coming out.
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:32.000
Um and there's like Donald Trump, RFK Jr., like each of them like walking with penguins.
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:41.360
And it's just like famous penguin with a like from a movie where this guy did uh he watched all these penguins and then one of them just kind of walked off to its death, like to the mountains.
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:42.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:42.399
I remember that.
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:48.399
I I think that's what they're trying to, I guess do with the president.
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:49.200
What?
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:49.919
I don't know.
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:51.200
It's so weird.
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:52.559
We live in a weird time.
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:53.919
That's just strange.
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:55.440
We live in a very weird time.
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:02.639
Um, so uh just a couple more things.
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:15.039
So in a 2016 interview with New York Times, Lori McCreary, president of the Producers Guild of America and uh Morgan Freeman's producer partner, recounted that when Mimi Letter wanted to cast Freeman as the U.S.
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:20.080
president, the studio objected on the basis that it wasn't realistic to cla cast a black person as president.
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.559
McCurry recalled that one studio exec said, We're not making a science fiction movie.
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.200
You can't have Morgan Feeman play the president.
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:39.759
So uh, and like other than the obvious racism and the fact that Obama became president 10 years later, um, the execs were like, or um, the people making the film were like, it is a science fiction movie.
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:41.279
We're going to space.
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:44.879
You think Barack saw this movie and he and he saw Morgan up there?
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:46.159
He's like, that's gonna be me.
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:49.279
Uh uh Morgan Freeman.
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:52.879
He my phrase favorite uh movie president.
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:56.960
I did everything I could to be just like him, even at a tattoo, just like this.
00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:58.080
That'd be sick.
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:00.320
Um, let's see.
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.879
Uh produced by Steven Spielberg.
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:06.240
Um, the movie came into being when producers Richard D.
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:13.120
Zanuk, David Brown, wanted to make remake the movie Worlds Collide, which happened in uh 1951.
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.960
He wanted to do it with Spielberg, with whom he had worked he'd worked on with Jaws.
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:22.320
However, Spielberg had just optioned the 1993
novel The Hammer of God by Sir Th Sir Arthur C.
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:27.360
Clark about an asteroid on a collision course of the earth and uh humanity's attempts to stop it.
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:31.279
And they're like, hey, what if we did both and mixed them together?
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:38.799
Um, this also was the highest-grossing movie by a female director until the movie What Women Want came out.
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:39.360
Nice.
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:40.159
Yeah.
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:49.360
Um, and I guess so the so the film portrays the wave that stuck New York City crashing over and around the towers of the World Trade Center.
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:51.120
How bad do you think it smelled after that?
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:51.840
That wave hit.
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:52.559
Oh, dude.
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:54.559
There's everything smell fishy.
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:55.679
Dead bodies everything.
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:57.919
Bodies and trash and sewer.
00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:58.480
Yeah.
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:04.480
So um I guess the b the buildings were barely above water at the end of the sequence, surviving the wave.
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:10.000
After the events of September 11th, terrorist attacks, some television broadcasts of the film were edited to remove the buildings.
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:15.200
The tidal wave also incorrectly comes from the west from Jersey, not the south from the Atlantic.
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:18.240
But yeah, so they're just like, hey, we can't have the towers in there.
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.480
And it's like, I don't know, man.
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:21.360
Oh, yes.
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.720
Like, I get it, but also it's just like we got maybe not.
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.639
Um maybe it's too soon to play disaster movies.
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:29.039
I don't know.
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:30.000
Yeah.
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:31.360
Uh let's see.
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.320
I think that was there were some other things.
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:35.679
Oh, this one was funny.
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.639
So John John Favros, uh director of Iron Man.
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:39.120
Hell yeah.
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:47.360
Um, said that it was so uncomfortable for the cast to film in the astronaut suits that during breaks they had to be hung on a rack in their suits and brought outside to get air.
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:51.279
This led to some awkward moments whenever a studio tour bus came by.
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:59.360
So they're just literally in their suits being hung up, just like I was like, I thought that was pretty funny.
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:01.440
Um, and uh last thing I'll do.
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:06.080
So the first cut of the film had more scenes with Leo Biederman and Sarah.
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:10.399
However, in response to poorly received sneak previews, these scenes were drastically reduced.
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:14.240
So I guess they had like a kiss and stuff, and people were like, these are 14-year-olds.
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:15.759
I'm like, okay.
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.480
You should have taken those rings and put them in the Mordor.
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:19.120
Yeah.
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:24.320
Um, so did that uh because I remember you're like, oh, don't think it doesn't have like a child wedding.
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:24.639
Yeah.
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:27.120
Do you think it works so for like the reasoning of the film?
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:31.200
Yeah, I mean, it's a good reason to probably think I'm gonna try to save your family.
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:31.679
Let's get married.
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.879
One of the few reasons children might want to get married.
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:35.440
Yeah, right.
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.519
Because it's not like it's like, hey, we don't even actually have to be married.
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:43.200
It doesn't really matter once an astral comet hits our earth.
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:47.759
I think at that point it's like if you just want to hang out on the other side of the arc, you can.
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:49.039
Yeah.
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:58.320
But and I'm glad they didn't cut too much more out because the stuff with like Sarah leaving her family and just like cutting to like the mom crying and stuff.
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:00.080
Yeah, I thought worked very well.
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:00.559
Oh, yeah.
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:07.200
I think adding the little detail of the two families, like just being scared was uh something that Armageddon kind of needed.
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:08.720
Yeah, some feeling.
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:09.600
Yeah, some art.
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:10.720
Some heart.
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:12.960
Not just making everything as stupid as possible.
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:14.240
Hearts explode.
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:22.080
And instead and this movie also gave us a realistic look at what America was, not like a weird 1960s version of America.
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:28.320
Um not saying I mean, we obviously go listen to Armageddon episode.
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:29.840
Uh, I do like that movie.
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:31.519
It's just comparing the two.
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:32.480
I'm gonna nitpick.
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:36.240
Do you think we really have these underground bunkers that can hold millions of people?
00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:39.440
Um if there was a yes.
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:48.879
I you know, I don't want to be like a conspiracy guy, but if we don't think that there's a plan for our presidents and just the 1%.
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:49.759
Yeah.
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.200
I mean, Jeff Bezos, he's probably got like a secret.
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:55.440
He like in Mount Everest or something.
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:57.759
Like, yeah, I just bought it.
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:02.080
It's like Wakanda, it's just uh an image put outside for them to make it look like it.
00:16:02.240 -->
00:16:04.159
Maybe that's why Donald Trump wants Greenland so bad.
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:05.360
He wants to build something up there.
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:07.279
Maybe he thinks that's where Wakanda is.
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:07.519
Yeah.
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.200
Go get all of their super rare or vibranium or whatever.
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:12.080
I love that film.
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:14.000
Wakanda forever.
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.639
I'm gonna be the next Black Panther.
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:21.200
I don't know why I I'm terrible at Donald Trump.
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:24.480
I try to do more of like the gravelly thing, but it's just not working.
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:26.480
Um, two things.
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:29.679
One thing I really want to say about this movie that sucks.
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:30.720
The father.
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:35.039
Boy, could we not have gotten a different actor to be the father.
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:35.519
Yeah.
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:39.919
I mean, like uh Leone does a great job in this movie.
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:44.639
I think it's probably one of my favorite performance performances of her as uh Jenny, right?
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:45.840
Yeah, Tay Leone.
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:49.360
Um, but she has to do a lot of work for that father.
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:54.240
God, every time I pause, I'm like, all these great actors you got in this movie.
00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:58.240
And this is your idea for who should be this guy.
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:02.000
Yeah, the the moment he kissed her on the nose, it was so felt so weird.
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:04.480
There's something off-putting about him.
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:06.720
He's not a very it didn't, he didn't come on.
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:24.240
He's probably probably like a great like actor from whatever country he's from, but like it just did not work in this movie, and it's really such a bummer because that part where she like hugs and says daddy at the end was so heartbroken breaking, but it it would have been even better if it wasn't that guy.
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.359
It's like just give us anybody other than him.
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:30.559
Um, that's my like biggest tip with this movie.
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:32.079
I'm like, I hate this guy.
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:36.720
Taylor kind of looks like the girl Tom Cruise.
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:37.839
Oh, interesting.
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:39.440
She looks like Tom Cruise with a wig.
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:40.640
She really does.
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:42.400
That's so funny.
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:50.400
Um the director is Mimi Letter Leader, L-E-D-E-R.
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:58.160
Um, she's actually kind of like a pretty uh good director, and I didn't even really know of her.
00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:19.519
I mean, mainly she's on this movie, a shit ton of like uh TV series, um, TV shows she's directed, and then she came out with uh a movie in 2018 on the basis of sex is
supposed to be pretty good, and then she was also directed and produced the morning show that's on Apple TV Plus, which um is like a big deal, apparently.
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:29.519
But I was just like, Whoa, I've never heard of her, and I did not know she directed this movie, and then all of a sudden I'm like, Oh, I've seen some of these things she's done, and I'm like, wow, cool.
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:33.920
Someone that no one ever talks about, and it's just kind of interesting that she was pretty good.
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:35.599
Yeah, okay, I think that's it.
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:45.920
Uh apparently, I guess uh the guy who did speed, John Dubaunt, he there's like two more um asteroids hitting Earth movies that were gonna come out this year the same year.
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:55.839
One was called Bright Angel, and it was gonna be uh directed by John DeBaunt, the guy who did speed, and another one was a Native American centered story called Ghost Riders in the Sky.
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:57.119
That sounds badass.
00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:58.480
I know, it sounds great, right?
00:18:58.640 --> 00:18:59.599
They should make that now.
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:02.160
These films were not made because of their staggering price tag.
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:10.640
The DeBaunt project would have cost almost$200 million in 1997, and because Dean Pimpack made it into production ahead of them, they rendered it unmakeable.
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:12.079
So, yeah.
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:14.799
Um they just weren't trying hard enough.
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:15.759
Yeah, exactly.
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:18.960
The other one is like, oh, it's a movie about Native Americans.
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:20.319
Sorry.
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:21.920
We're not gonna do that.
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:29.039
Be great if we did that now, though, since you know, we're uh we could play that song Riders on the Storm.
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:30.160
Hell yeah.
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:31.200
Love that part.
00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:35.759
And uh I think it's the the sequel of Blues Brothers.
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:37.519
Is it people hate that movie?
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:39.279
I watched that movie a thousand times.
00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:40.799
Blues Brothers 2000.
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:42.720
Like when I was a kid, I loved that movie.
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:43.119
Nice.
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:45.200
I'd watch the car crash over and over.
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:51.519
It wasn't until like 10 years later that I watched like the original Blues Brothers, and I was like, this movie's two and a half hours long.
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:52.880
Damn, oh god.
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:53.680
What the hell?
00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:54.880
I never want to watch that again.
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:55.680
It's so good though.
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:56.880
It sounds like two hours.
00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:58.240
On a mission from God.
00:19:59.279 --> 00:19:59.680
So good.
00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:00.880
It is really good.
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:05.039
I've got four whole chickens.
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:08.000
The second movie is not good at all now.
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:10.640
But you know, as a kid, it was a perfect movie.
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:11.359
All right.
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:14.480
Before we get into the plot, think about what the point of the movie is.
00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:16.319
What is it trying to say?
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:17.759
Um, and let us know.
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:21.839
There's a link in the description that you can click on and send us a message.
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:24.079
And at the bottom, there's also our email.
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:26.640
We recommend mailbag at gmail.com.
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:32.960
Um, for we usually get like maybe 10 to 20 uh downloads a day uh a day.
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:39.599
And yesterday, which was a Wednesday, January 27th, we had 200 downloads.
00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:42.480
If you did that, send us a message.
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:43.119
Thank you.
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:46.720
Because I want to know why randomly that happens sometimes.
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:49.359
So if that was you, let me know.
00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:51.680
Um, and thank you, by the way.
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:53.279
Leave us a review.
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.480
So, Deep Impact, 1998.
00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:00.000
Let's see how impactful this impact was.
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.279
So, two Midwestern teens, Leo Biederman.
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:05.279
I have to say Biederman that way.
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:06.319
Biederman.
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:12.240
Um, and his astronomy club partner slash girlfriend, Sarah, detect a previously unknown comet in the sky.
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:17.359
Their findings are sent to another astronomer named Wolf uh for confirmation.
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:20.799
The some bitch won't stop chewing on that pizza, and it's very annoying.
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:27.359
Wolf finds to his horror that the comet the kids discovered is in orbit that will impact Earth.
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:31.839
A distracted wolf takes its disk drive data and rushes off to warn their authorities.
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:39.039
I was like, did we ultimately we didn't have CD, we had beta.
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:40.319
We had to have it.
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.640
I mean, but like at that time everybody had like the floppy disk, though.
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:45.920
It was like the main way.
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:48.480
Good old reb reliable floppy discs.
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:54.640
I used to love playing with them because you know you get that little metal piece that you can kind of move back and forth, and it's like, hey, don't touch the piece under it.
00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:56.559
I'm always like, touching the piece.
00:21:57.359 --> 00:21:59.759
Um but uh Wolf is killed in route in an accident.
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:01.359
Collision with a truck.
00:22:01.599 -->
00:22:03.440
The truck driver was so dumb.
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:04.319
It was hilarious.
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:08.400
So this movie, the point of the movie is don't smoke and don't text and drive kids.
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:14.400
At least it's kind of a more believable version of uh why a car crack.
00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:22.960
I remember Army of the Dead, the Zack Snyder movie, directed movie, where it's like, how did the whole zombie apocalypse start?
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:27.839
Um, the most ridiculous uh blowjob in a car scene ever.
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:29.359
It was so obnoxious.
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:31.440
I was like, so stupid.
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:40.640
Um then it's a year later, MSNBC journalist Jenny Lerner is on the trail of what she thinks is another Washington, D.C.
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:41.920
sex scandal.
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:42.640
Haha.
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:47.920
Can you tell that who our president is was when this movie came out?
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:49.039
Bill Clinton.
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:49.599
Clinton.
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:50.000
Yeah.
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:56.400
She also learns from her mom that her estranged father has remarried and is a bad actor.
00:22:57.119 --> 00:22:58.960
That's the worst part, Bob.
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:04.960
She's investigating a story she thinks is about a senior cheating on his wife with someone named Ellie.
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:09.119
They confront him and he says it's the biggest story she will ever break.
00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:15.279
Um, then she's like kind of driving, and then like the F some FBI corner her and it's like, get in the car.
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:16.480
That was kind of scary.
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:16.880
Yeah.
00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:18.640
Probably, yeah.
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.160
I mean, well, definitely happened, I'm assuming in real life.
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:28.559
Probably not as much to the media, but I'd be so scared if they told me to pull off into a closed-off off ramp.
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:30.720
Yeah, I'd be like, I'm just gonna drive through it.
00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:32.079
Yeah, just go.
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:34.880
So then we meet the U.S.
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:36.640
president played by Morgan Freeman.
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:46.240
He personally takes Ginny aside and asks that she sit on the story and something else until he has a chance to hold a White House press briefing.
00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:51.279
Gin Lee reluctantly agrees, but only on the condition that she gets asked the first question in the press room.
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:53.200
She does not know what Ellie is yet.
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:55.519
She still thinks it's just someone cheating.
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:57.440
And I kind of love that about this movie.
00:23:57.599 --> 00:23:59.759
Oh, where she has no idea.
00:23:59.920 --> 00:24:03.119
Like she just is accidentally in this situation.
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:08.000
That's why, oh man, that's why
she's so like shocked whenever she's at the press conference.
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:08.480
Okay.
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:09.440
I thought he told her.
00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:25.759
Well, no, oh no, she goes in like um, yeah, because later she learns through some classic 90s internet research uh dinosaurs that what she thought was Ellie, this new name is of the senator's mistress, was actually an acronym ELE, an extinction level event.
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:31.359
And some of the things like on the side, like the ads or whatever, it says a wave's coming for you, and things like that.
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:33.759
And it's like, oh, that's what happens in real life.
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:35.440
That's what happens a wave comes for.
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:40.720
Um, so the ELE in question is comet Wolf Biederman.
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:41.519
Yeah.
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:43.119
I love the last name Biederman.
00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:45.920
That sounds like that comet should have glasses and a pocket protector.
00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:46.480
Right.
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:48.720
Get bullied by other comets.
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:51.359
Hey, Wolf Biederman, you nerd.
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:52.880
Why don't you go hit Earth?
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:54.640
I do love the name.
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:55.519
Maybe I will.
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:56.960
Like all day today.
00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:58.960
I've just been in my head, Biederman.
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:00.079
Biederman.
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:01.039
Bieterman.
00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:03.839
Uh, which will impact Earth in a matter of months.
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:05.279
Apparently, the late Dr.
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:08.400
Wolf's findings were salvaged in his crash wreckage, I guess.
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:09.839
Floppies are tough.
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:11.599
Apparently, the whole car was on fire.
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:12.799
Yeah.
00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:21.680
Um, the impact of Wolf Biederman is expected to be the most devastating world event since the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:33.359
Um, so sworn to silence until the press conference, a clearly agitated Jinny has a tense meeting with her divorced father, her uh father that's been divorced to her mother, who remarried a much younger woman.
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:39.359
Ginny unapologetically tells her father that he needs to reconcile with her mother, and she abruptly leaves.
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:40.640
Yeah.
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:45.200
Um I love the daughter being like, I know you probably hate me.
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:47.200
It's like you don't get to say that much.
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:48.640
Don't say anything.
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:55.039
When this is an event of like, hey, you're the same age as the daughter, you're just like, I know you don't like me.
00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:55.839
I'm so sorry.
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:56.799
Let's try to be friends.
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:03.039
This
is what's if at any point you want to talk, yell at me, and maybe we can make some sort of relationship here.
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:03.759
We can try.
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:05.119
If not, I totally understand.
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:09.119
Yeah, don't try to act like the stepmom to an adult woman.
00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:10.799
You need to respect me, honey.
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:11.279
Okay.
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:13.599
I'm your mother-in-law.
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:16.400
Just be like, that will never happen.
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:21.519
Um, so at the White House press briefing, the president tells all, including two plans.
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:27.519
Oh, well, not too just including a plan to deal with the pending castar catastrophe?
00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:30.400
Cat Oh my god.
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:33.440
Reboot beep boot my beep catastrophe.
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:34.880
Dial up.
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:45.200
Um, the first is in an international manned space mission called Messiah that will carry powerful nukes to blow the comet's core into smaller pieces.
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:46.720
Um, I'm sure it'll work.
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:47.200
Fuck yeah.
00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:48.160
Worked in one movie.
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:49.119
Could work in this one.
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:53.200
Uh, the president says that life will go on and that humanity will prevail.
00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:56.480
He also says that both Wolf and Biederman both died.
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:59.519
Uh, but they learned that Leo's alive and he's gonna have a lot of sex.
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:00.160
Nice.
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:03.119
Yeah, that's that guy yells out the stadium.
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:11.519
Apparently, that was an ad-libbed line, and like everybody behind him, like all the hooting and cheering, that was all that like people were like, we didn't know he was gonna say that.
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:12.960
So they all started cheering and stuff.
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:13.920
I was like, that guy?
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:15.200
Hell yeah, man.
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:17.680
That's exactly what a kid would say in that.
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:19.119
Yes, yes.
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:26.799
Um, but I also love that whenever they're watch the Bieterman family's watching on the news, and like people start coming outside, he's like, He's dead.
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:30.640
Let's go, let's go agitate this family now.
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:40.400
Um, the press conference, um it'd be nice if we could have a press conference that's handled that well, you know.
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:41.200
Oh yeah.
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:42.640
So like I don't know.
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:50.480
I guess that the last president that would have done a good job at a press conference where a national either comment's gonna hit us would have probably been Barack Obama.
00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:54.799
Yeah, I would've I'd rather hear it from him than this guy.
00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:56.000
You're all fucked.
00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:57.920
We're all gonna die.
00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:06.160
No, he'd probably have like a his own line of like Trump life preservers and jackets like don't work.
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:06.480
Yeah.
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:08.000
You just sink.
00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:19.839
So um also the spaceship messiah, they call it the messiah, um, because I guess they named it after the first space shuttle that was built.
00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:26.720
And I guess the astronauts who went in it, it was so big they're they um they said like Jesus Christ really loud.
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:28.640
And people are like, oh, let's call it the Messiah.
00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:33.279
And they got that name and named the spaceship that's the first one explode.
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:34.480
Don't know.
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:35.200
Probably did.
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:39.119
I just felt like I had enough hurt, so I didn't want to see any more death.
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:42.720
So the spaceship, Messiah crew, a cocky young team of U.S.
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:50.000
astronauts with one Russian cosmonaut, reluctantly add a plus one to their ranks, an Apollo era veteran named Sturgeon Tanner.
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:52.480
Um, Robert Duvall, ladies and gentlemen.
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:53.759
Robert Duvall, I love him.
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:55.759
It's just he's so good in this movie.
00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:57.599
Yeah, he's such a calming presence.
00:28:57.680 --> 00:28:58.640
It's great.
00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:01.519
So and his whole thing is like, I'm old.
00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:03.119
I'm old, but experienced.
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:05.039
I know what I'm doing, okay?
00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:15.920
So Tanner reminds his new crew that he is the only one among them who's ever landed on the moon and space station, and that's the and that skill would be particularly handy on their mission.
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:19.519
They have only done it in simulations, and he's like, This isn't a video game.
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:24.640
The way he says the video game is so it's like one of them video games you've been playing.
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:28.559
Back in my days, we didn't have video games.
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:30.319
It sticks.
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:35.599
Um, but yeah, because they're all kind of just being like, he doesn't need to be up there.
00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:39.119
It's like we don't need to be like looking after him and stuff, you know.
00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:41.519
Just because he's older doesn't mean he's gonna be any better at this.
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:43.519
And he's like, I can hear you.
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:44.400
I'm over there.
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:46.000
So dope.
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:48.160
So then we cut to five months later.
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:51.440
Pretty uh great little skip of time there.
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:54.799
It's uh I'm glad they didn't show any more, and we cut some time out.
00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:56.960
This weird the the time thing.
00:29:57.119 --> 00:30:08.480
So whenever um Tay Leon meets up with Morgan Freeman and he tells her about the extinction level event, he's like, a year ago we knew about this.
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:10.319
Yeah, and that's when the Biederman stuff was happening.
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:11.200
That's when that was happening.
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:20.000
Yeah, that's the wolf the so like the wool, the very beginning, the little prologue happens with Biederman finally and Wolf dying, and then it cuts to a year later, TA Leon.
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:22.240
And then this is five months later after all that.
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:22.880
All right, yeah.
00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:24.799
I missed the year later part, I guess.
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:25.279
Yeah.
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:26.799
Um I'll yes.
00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:29.200
Because it doesn't tell you.
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:31.440
He just says it in that line of dialogue, I think.
00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:33.119
Um so it's five months later.
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:38.559
Ginny is promoted to anchor, and the Messiah spacecraft reaches the comet with Wolf Biederman.
00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:40.400
Fucking love saying it.
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:42.240
And things go horribly wrong.
00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:42.799
What?
00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:43.839
Comet though?
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:46.799
The fucking comet looks so good in the movie.
00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:47.680
It does look really cool.
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:50.160
And like the little spaceship there, and I'm like, whoa.
00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:51.200
Nice.
00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:54.400
Like how they had like the harpoons shoot out of it to help it land.
00:30:54.559 --> 00:30:55.599
Yeah, it's really cool.
00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:57.039
I know, I was like, cool.
00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:01.279
It didn't need to be the most intense fucking thing on the history of the planet, like an RBM.
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:08.880
It got every it's like this movie is very efficient in getting everything that it needs to to be like, oh, that's pretty good.
00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:09.440
Yeah.
00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:16.720
Which is maybe why it just does enough to do that, but doesn't go like above and beyond, which would be make it great.
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:23.839
Why wouldn't they get together with all everybody who's got space power to go all the as a team?
00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:24.960
Go into space.
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:25.599
All right.
00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:27.759
I know, right?
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:29.359
It's just like all the spacecraft.
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:30.079
How about this?
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.119
If this one fucks it up, we got another one coming right earlier.
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:34.559
But they don't want to have time.
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:42.640
Well, if like all of them, like, all right, we get China, we get Japan, we get Russia, we get America, and whoever else also
has a lot of space.
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:46.640
America will go first because you know, America first, baby.
00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:50.880
And then it's like, all right, so that one kind of worked, but didn't really work.
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:52.720
So, all right, next team, go.
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:54.160
And it's gotta keep breaking it up.
00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:56.400
Just keep crashing into it after one after the other.
00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:04.079
Yeah, but um probably they only use America's team because America.
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:06.079
Hell yeah, right?
00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:08.400
Nobody else is really that worried about it.
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:09.440
Yeah, I guess.
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:29.200
Um, and uh also like comparisons to Armageddon versus uh this movie, the they successfully land pretty easily, which is yeah, I mean not very easily, but uh it's also nice to see like everybody wearing, worrying, and then Robert Duvall is like in charge and then he like lands it and he's like, oh, fucking did it.
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:30.400
I had to do it.
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:33.920
Otherwise, all the everybody'd be like, they shouldn't have sent that old man up there.
00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:36.240
But yeah, so the missiles successfully lands.
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:43.119
Two specialists from the ship are or three are lowered uh down to the comet's unstable surface in order to plant the nukes deep in its core.
00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:45.839
However, the comet is denser than anticipated.
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:54.799
Um yeah, so they seem to be able to drill into an asteroid comet pretty easily with just by being astronauts and having one little thing drill.
00:32:55.359 --> 00:32:57.279
Got one of those interesting crank drills.
00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:57.599
Yeah.
00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:00.000
It's like they press a button and it's drilled itself.
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:02.720
It's like we didn't need to take an entire team up here.
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:10.319
Um, they at first um they're struggling to get the one drill messes up.
00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:14.960
So you got one team doing a drill, and the other team, of course, one has to mess up.
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:24.640
And then you have the guy from Super 8 uh in the movie that's like goes down into the hole and like flip kicks it down a couple times, then gets out.
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:27.200
But they're also kind of rushing against the sunset.
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:30.160
Oh, yeah, which is fucking crazy cool.
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:31.200
It's so good.
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:36.240
Um, and so like as the sun's rising, he's coming up out of it, and they're all like, shit, sun.
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:44.640
So they all turk put their visors on, and the guy comes out and he's like, My eyes, my eyes, not the bees, not the bees.
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:50.960
Um that reminds me of I wonder if that's where the V S and Butthead uh movie got that.
00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:51.359
What?
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:53.279
They burn their eyes from looking at the sun.
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:54.319
Oh, maybe.
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:54.799
Well, I don't know.
00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:57.759
It's just kind of like a thing that we're always told growing up, don't look at the sun.
00:33:57.920 --> 00:33:59.519
And uh, it turns out it's right.
00:33:59.920 --> 00:34:05.920
Remember when we had that eclipse, that like really rad eclipse, like around 2016, 17, something like that?
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:06.559
I don't know.
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:12.800
Um everybody had to be like, don't look at it with your eyes.
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:14.480
Look at it with binoculars.
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:19.599
And then the number one search after the eclipse was my eyes hurt.
00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:20.800
Yeah.
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:22.079
Is that an issue?
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:24.000
Did you look at it with your eyes?
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:24.239
No.
00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:25.440
Well, why didn't look at it?
00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:28.559
I did uh the whole because I didn't have glasses, which really sucked.
00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:29.840
Did you do the box thing?
00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:37.039
No, I just um I had like a really old shitty phone I was about to replace, so I didn't care if it got like the camera or anything got messed up.
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:40.960
So I just kind of turned my back to the sun and I put my phone facing me.
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:42.239
I just kind of looked over that way.
00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:43.679
Did a selfie with the sun?
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:44.239
Hell yeah.
00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:47.039
I didn't take a selfie, which is a really dumb decision of me.
00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:48.880
But probably wouldn't have been able to see your face.
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:51.920
I didn't really want to like miss the whole eclipse happening.
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.559
Uh still one of the coolest things I've experienced.
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:55.599
It was really great.
00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:59.039
Um but yeah, then he comes out.
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:03.199
Uh they but they successfully did the nukes at depth and they book it off.
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:11.440
But one of the astronauts, uh medical officer specialist Gus Partenza, Don Favravo, is killed at high speed debris during the ship's escape.
00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:23.599
Uh the and as they're getting out, I love um just another reason that like I kind of makes me like this movie more than Armageddon is there's the part where the cosmonaut, the Russian guy, is like, hey, we have to go back and get him.
00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:30.960
And he's like kind of getting revved up and just Robert Duvall, uh Tanner, whatever his name is, is like so like calming him down.
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:34.000
It's like we can't, we got this, we don't have enough fuel to go get him.
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:35.760
And then he's like, We have to go get him.
00:35:35.840
--> 00:35:37.519
He's like, It's okay, it's okay.
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:40.079
It's just like the way he says it's okay, like three times.
00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:45.039
I was like, and then the cosmonauts like realizing he's like, We can't, we can't do it.
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:46.960
He's he's just gonna be floating in space.
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:50.719
Just a very, very good actor dude.
00:35:51.440 --> 00:36:08.079
I love directing, and it really does show it's like the difference between a male director and a female director in terms of you know how emotional one is versus how just like, hey, aren't these dudes weird?
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:11.920
This guy has sex with underage girls.
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:15.519
No I'm a boy.
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:30.320
And this girl's like, yes, well, um, one of the one of our characters is gonna have like an issue with the divorced parents, and we're gonna have um, you know, just very sensitive scenes in here, and it's like, I don't know.
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:33.280
It's just funny to kind of see them both like side by side.
00:36:33.360 --> 00:36:40.000
It's like the same movie, female director and male director, and it's like, wow, you can really tell the difference between sensitivity between the directors.
00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:43.039
She's like, get back in there and kiss Elijah Wood, or I will.
00:36:43.199 --> 00:36:43.840
Yeah.
00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:48.239
He's a child.
00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:49.039
I know.
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:52.880
So she's just as bad, but she just didn't film any of it.
00:36:54.639 --> 00:36:59.119
Oh but I I will say there was so much tension.
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:10.000
There, I felt way more tension, weirdly, even though this scene was only like five-minute scenes on this comet than I felt the entire time they were on the comet or asteroid in Armageddon.
00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:11.280
Yeah, it's all exploding and shit.
00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:12.000
It's wild.
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:18.400
It's like all this like forced uh action and dumb decisions is supposed to be like, oh, I'm on the edge of my seat.
00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:22.320
But I was like, I was actually more on the edge of my seat on this like five-minute little scene on the comet.
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:23.199
It's crazy.
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:27.760
Um, also, I love when they cut to them breathing in their spacesuits.
00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:29.119
Sounded like monkeys.
00:37:33.679 --> 00:37:35.920
So the nukes are eventually detonated.
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:38.159
The president goes live with the news of the mission.
00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:40.079
I love it because we don't know if it worked or not.
00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:42.400
Obviously, it didn't because it's only halfway through.
00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:47.519
But the comet is not vaporized, it's merely split into two smaller chunks that remain on the same trajectory.
00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:48.719
Yeah.
00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:50.320
Trajectory
towards Earth.
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:52.719
He tells America, plan B.
00:37:53.039 --> 00:38:01.119
So the second plan involves a series of giant underground caves deep in the American heartland that will serve as an arc in case the Messiah fails.
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:13.679
The arc will preserve key specialists, foodstuffs, animals, seeds, cultural artifacts, and a random group of citizens drawn for a lottery, some not random, because you know they're it's like, ah, yeah, we gotta take Bob Dylan.
00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:15.519
You know, we gotta get him out of there.
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:20.639
And then also these very important politicians that have to live.
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:21.519
Oh god.
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:25.519
Um, and then nations around the world are also doing the same thing with caves.
00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:31.840
So plan B with the underground art goes into the full effect, and the lottery results are announced.
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:35.679
The effects of the modern the random lottery are devastating.
00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:40.639
Young married couples are kept together, but people over a certain age will not be followed into the arc.
00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:41.519
That was messed up.
00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:48.800
It's like anybody over the age of 50, and then you cut to um Ginny's mom just being like well shit.
00:38:49.599 --> 00:39:02.880
I mean, uh, like that's what is so good about this movie is just like things like that where like oh if it and but if an asteroid's gonna hit me, I hope it does it before I'm 50.
00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:10.079
Cause you know, it just like kind of made me think like, oh man, like if I got picked and my mom didn't.
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:11.280
That'd be crazy.
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:14.880
Cause I always thought, like, oh, Sarah wanting to stay with the parents.
00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:16.159
I'm like, don't be stupid.
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:18.000
But then I'm like, I don't know.
00:39:18.239 --> 00:39:18.559
Yeah.
00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:19.119
Right?
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:29.840
It's like, would I rather just live and forever feeling terrible that I just left my mom to die from a giant tidal wave or ice age, new ice age that's gonna happen, you know?
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:30.400
God damn.
00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:32.480
That's a uh fun movie.
00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:42.800
Um, so yeah, um, Ginny is selected, but Beth, a rival coworker, that's kind of like, I can't believe you got a front row seat.
00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:43.920
The White House lady.
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:44.400
Yeah.
00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:50.079
Uh um co-worker with a newmore baby is not uh Leo Biederman and his family are selected.
00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:53.360
Uh the comment was this covery, so of course he's gonna be picked.
00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:57.360
Uh, but his girlfriend Sarah and her family are not fucking brutal.
00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:00.239
It's so crazy if they didn't put him.
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:00.639
Yeah.
00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:01.440
Leo.
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:03.840
So we actually picked a family, you're saying.
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:04.159
Hey.
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:05.519
Hey, come on.
00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:08.320
Everybody's gonna say, hey, you remember when Bieterman hit us?
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:11.440
And he's like, whatever happened to him, uh Biederman hit him.
00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:14.400
Stop hitting yourself, beaterman.
00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:17.760
So the messiah's discussing what they should do.
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:24.000
They have enough fuel to make it back to Earth, but uh, due to the damage of the radiation shield, they'll be glowing in the dark.
00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:24.800
Hell yeah.
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:28.719
And then being crushed by an asteroid, but they're all like, let's fucking go home.
00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:28.960
Yeah.
00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:32.480
Like we're all gonna don't want to be stuck in space with no earth, right?
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:33.119
I don't know.
00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:36.239
Because you fly around a little bit, see if you can land a little later.
00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:37.679
I don't know, right?
00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:38.480
Right.
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:43.119
And then you can like wait until you have to go down and then just kind of show up.
00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:43.679
Yeah.
00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:45.679
It's like, do you really want to go?
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:48.480
But they all have families, of course, so that's why they all want to go.
00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:55.119
But it's one of those things where it's like, you really just want to go down to entire earth being looted and everybody going insane.
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:55.519
Yeah.
00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:57.920
Everybody's gonna hate you because you didn't get the job done.
00:40:58.159 --> 00:41:02.480
Well, you didn't die in the initial impact, so you're gonna be you're gonna have a head start.
00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:06.239
Yeah, it's like, uh, we'll land after the asteroid hits.
00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:08.400
We'll see what's going on down there first.
00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:10.800
Yeah, you go to the arc, you're like, hey, remember us?
00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:11.199
Yeah.
00:41:11.679 --> 00:41:12.159
Let us in.
00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:13.119
We're astronauts.
00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:14.800
I think that's why you have to kind of go down.
00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:16.719
It's like, all right, we didn't destroy the asteroid.
00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:20.960
If we get there fast enough, I'm sure we'll be on the arc, even though we don't know about the plan, I'm sure.
00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:26.480
So as time passes, Ginny is constantly reporting on looting, killing, and other shit that would totally happen.
00:41:26.719 --> 00:41:36.079
Leo comes up with a plan to marry Sarah so her family and her so her and her family can come with pretty clever plan, pretty quick, quick planning there, Leo.
00:41:36.719 -->
00:41:38.079
Also they gave him a plus one.
00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:40.079
Uh they gave him a plus like five.
00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:40.639
Nice.
00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:41.360
Yeah.
00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:46.239
Um, as the comet looms ever closer, Ginny's lonely mother commits suicide.
00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:46.719
Sad.
00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:47.360
Damn.
00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:50.320
Uh, Ark Slecky, Leo decides to marry Sarah.
00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:51.840
The I already said that.
00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:56.639
Um, oh yeah, so she commits suicide and Leo decides to marry Sarah.
00:41:56.719 --> 00:41:57.599
We see it happening.
00:41:57.679 --> 00:41:59.360
It's like, oh cute, whatever.
00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:02.239
And everybody's like, yeah, we're all gonna make it and live.
00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:06.880
So, and on the Messiah, Tanner and Manash bond in a sweet little scene.
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:09.280
They're discussing their life, and Tanner reads them Moby Dick.
00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:09.920
Yeah, that was cool.
00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:10.880
That was such a good scene.
00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:12.559
I was like, read to me, papa.
00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:13.280
Really worried.
00:42:13.360 --> 00:42:15.280
He's like, You guys don't have real books here.
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:22.239
Like, we have Moby Dick and stuff, and then they kind of talk about their lives and stuff, and then it's like, all right, chapter one, Moby Dick.
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:30.159
And then they kind of start laughing, and I'm like, ah, fucking just letting people be decent characters in the movie.
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:31.519
It's so sweet.
00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:32.480
It's wild.
00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:39.760
And I think that's what what really makes doing this little project that we're doing with these four movies like so in fun and interesting.
00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:47.440
It's like, hey, we get to see the comparisons and like what works better and what the difference between me and you are in terms of like, hey, what what we like and don't like.
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:50.159
Um, so hopefully people listening also like that.
00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:50.880
Yes.
00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:58.320
So the Bietermans and Sarah families are being picked up, but her family, including her newborn baby brother, are refused permission.
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:00.719
Sarah's like, I ain't going, I'm dying.
00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:02.320
Check again, please.
00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:03.119
Yeah.
00:43:03.679 --> 00:43:04.880
Hell of a breakup.
00:43:05.360 --> 00:43:09.039
You know, it's like, uh, I'd actually rather die here than go with you.
00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:11.039
We're getting a divorce.
00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:22.480
Um It's like just being a parent at that point, like, um, if you were like Sarah's father, right?
00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:26.239
And she's like, no, I'm staying with you, and you're like, fucking go, right?
00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:28.239
Or would you be like, yeah,
come die with me?
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:29.679
Come die with me.
00:43:29.840 --> 00:43:31.599
Or would you be like, don't leave that bus?
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:34.320
I'm throwing her in there, handcuff her and to Leo.
00:43:34.639 --> 00:43:39.039
Yeah, I think I would have just um made her go if I could.
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:40.559
Right, just like throw her on the bus.
00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:41.440
Just get in there.
00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:41.760
Yeah.
00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:46.800
So Ginny learns that her mother has committed suicide and then decides to go sit out in the rain.
00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:49.440
Uh, because it's like, how do we show someone sad?
00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:57.280
Um, and her father goes to talk to her, but she refuses, says, I'm an orphan.
00:43:57.519 --> 00:43:59.599
Um, so Leo decides that he's going back to.
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:07.840
Sarah and leaves the arc, um Ginny Fathers uh goes to her work to show her photos to show that she isn't an orphan.
00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:13.119
And I was just like, oh, this would really work if it was a better actor as a father.
00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:14.719
It would work so well.
00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:21.280
I mean, it kind of works, but it just doesn't I would be like curled in a ball if they actually got a decent father.
00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:27.360
It would be funny if if she was they're hugging and it's really sweet and they're about to die, and then the stepmom shows up.
00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:28.960
It's like, gotcha bitch.
00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:31.360
She pushes her out of the way.
00:44:31.679 --> 00:44:37.039
But it turns out uh he she left him because it's like, uh, hey.
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:38.000
End of the world.
00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:38.639
End of the world.
00:44:38.719 --> 00:44:40.239
Am I gonna hang out with this old man?
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:42.400
It's like I got a few months to live.
00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:45.280
I was I was hoping you'd die and I get the money, you know?
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:46.159
Yeah.
00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:53.280
Um so yeah, they uh so they decide they're gonna shoot more nukes at the at the two pieces of the comics.
00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:59.119
Uh this is like the president telling them that it's like their last resort situation, but they fail and they're still heading toward Earth.
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:01.039
The president makes one last speech.
00:45:01.199 --> 00:45:05.599
He tells them that the smaller of the comets will first land and it will hit the Atlantic Ocean.
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:10.639
It will cause a wave like over a thousand feet high and it will hit Washington 40 minutes later.
00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:11.199
Hell yeah.
00:45:11.360 --> 00:45:13.519
And destroying everything on the East Coast.
00:45:13.679 --> 00:45:17.840
The second comet will hit Canada and will cause everything to go dark for two years.
00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:20.559
All plant and animal lives will be gone within a few months.
00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:22.880
Good night and good luck to us all.
00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:25.599
Or that uh atomic winter.
00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:26.079
Yeah.
00:45:26.159 --> 00:45:26.880
Uh potentially.
00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:30.079
It's uh I don't think it will be a good time.
00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:31.840
No.
00:45:33.199 --> 00:45:36.400
But thank God for the messiahs up there.
00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:40.239
Yeah, it's like a reference to the ship and also like goes.
00:45:41.280 --> 00:45:44.719
Um, the messiah team decides on one final course of action.
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:56.880
They will impact the messiah spacecraft on the largest of the two chunks of inbound comet using the craft's own nuclear-powered Orion pulpulsion system in hopes of vaporizing the larger fragment because they have like four nukes also on it.
00:45:57.360 --> 00:45:59.920
But this in turn is a suicide mission.
00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:01.360
Look on the bright side.
00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:03.280
At least we'll have schools named after us.
00:46:03.440 --> 00:46:04.800
Yeah, oh, they will.
00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:07.039
Because that's what happened to the people that died.
00:46:07.280 --> 00:46:10.239
Uh um in that one space explosion.
00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:11.679
They named schools after them.
00:46:11.760 --> 00:46:12.159
Yeah.
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:19.039
Um, so the news crew we have been hanging out with is taking Ginny and six people to higher ground.
00:46:19.119 --> 00:46:21.280
Uh Ginny to the arc, the other people to the high ground.
00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:23.199
So they have to draw sticks to see who goes.
00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:26.800
And everyone that has the shorter sticks gets to go, the others don't.
00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:36.159
Um, and then we see like the rival like uh journalist Beth and her newborn draw the long sticks, and it's like, no, she just gets to go, okay?
00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:38.000
Um, Ginny feels bad.
00:46:38.159 --> 00:46:53.119
Jenny decides to give up her seat uh at the arc for Beth, who is like, uh, because like they're going to go get into the plane, and then Beth's sitting in like the little kids section of the newsroom or whatever, and she's like, What are you doing here?
00:46:53.199 --> 00:47:00.639
It's like there's traffic jam, we won't be able to get home, and my daughter likes it here, and it's like, God, uh, damn it, dude.
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:01.840
Holy shit.
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:05.280
It's like little things like that is something that I absolutely love.
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:05.679
Yeah.
00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:06.239
Yeah.
00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:08.159
Um, just a little bit of humanity.
00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:09.039
Exactly.
00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:09.760
You know?
00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:14.639
Um, but yeah, so she gives up her seat for the uh Beth and her baby.
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:17.599
Um, and then Jenny's-let her end but kick the baby out.
00:47:17.760 --> 00:47:20.480
Yeah, it's like, you can't get in
here, bitch ass baby.
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:23.119
Yeah, looking at me all smug.
00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:25.519
It's like, yo, what you looking at?
00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:27.119
What you looking at, baby?
00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:27.440
Huh?
00:47:27.599 --> 00:47:28.639
Baby's out of here.
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:30.639
Somebody give me some baby handcuffs.
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:31.760
Get this baby out of here.
00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:33.119
He's unruly.
00:47:34.639 --> 00:47:35.360
Oh, yeah.
00:47:35.440 --> 00:47:38.400
We had to uh I can't.
00:47:38.480 --> 00:47:42.800
I was gonna try to do my Obama, but like uh yes, we uh had to.
00:47:43.039 --> 00:47:44.320
Damn, I've completely lost it.
00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:45.920
So fuck it, cutting this.
00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:51.840
Um, so Jenny is left on the helipad looking at pictures of a father as a fleet of helicopters fly off.
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:54.159
And it's a dope fucking shot.
00:47:54.480 --> 00:48:01.599
So Leo takes Sarah's father's dirt bike and finds Sarah's family hopelessly gridlocked in traffic as people flee in a blind panic.
00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:06.320
Sarah's mother gives Sarah her baby brother and tells Leo to take care of her children.
00:48:06.559 --> 00:48:13.360
Leo takes his young wife and the baby on a bike as they head for higher ground, leaving Sarah's mother heartbroken and crying.
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:14.719
Such a good scene.
00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:16.000
Ah.
00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:27.679
And in probably the saddest scene of the movie, um, Ginny reunites with her strange father on the very beach where they once played when she was five years old.
00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:31.360
And it's in the picture that we see earlier.
00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:34.000
Um, they're apologizing and things like that.
00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:39.679
As the comet hits the Atlantic, a giant, freakishly large tsunami is about to crash upon the shoreline.
00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:47.440
Ginny, her voice trembling, cut clutches her father's closely and says with the vulnerability of a frightened little girl, Daddy.
00:48:49.039 --> 00:48:54.079
It is fucking fantastic, bro.
00:48:54.639 --> 00:48:55.519
It was really good.
00:48:55.760 --> 00:48:57.039
It's fucking urn.
00:48:57.920 --> 00:48:58.960
It looks rad.
00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:01.280
It's just like that.
00:49:01.599 --> 00:49:08.559
That is what I think when someone's writing a script, that's the thing they saw first in their head when they're gonna write a script, right?
00:49:08.719 --> 00:49:10.320
Um first ones to go.
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:10.719
Yeah.
00:49:10.960 --> 00:49:24.639
It well, it's just like, you know, if you think usually whenever people think this is how I was when I thought of like script ideas and things like that, there's always just a scene or just like a picture in my head that I'm like, oh man, if I could just make something around that.
00:49:24.719 --> 00:49:24.880
Yeah.
00:49:25.039 --> 00:49:27.039
And I feel like That's the smoke.
00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:36.800
If someone was writing a script, it'd be like they started off with um father and daughter hold each other as a giant wave crashes into them from an app, a comet.
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:39.920
And it's like, I know, that was awesome.
00:49:40.559 --> 00:49:45.039
When it was like when the the tide or like it's what do you call it, the undercurrent or whatever?
00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:46.880
Yeah, yeah, it kind of comes in parts underneath.
00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:50.320
So good.
00:49:50.639 --> 00:49:54.480
Have you ever like um watched anything about tsunamis and things like that?
00:49:54.639 --> 00:49:56.159
It's so interesting how they work.
00:49:56.320 --> 00:50:02.159
Like, I remember because I guess it was the one that hit Japan like a decades ago or something.
00:50:02.320 --> 00:50:05.119
They're they knew it was coming, I guess, or something like that.
00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:07.679
Or is this like are people who research tsunamis?
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:14.880
They had like a boat out in the middle of the ocean, and they're like, Hey, why the fuck did you not tell us there was a tsunami coming?
00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:16.079
They're like, What do you mean?
00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:17.599
It's like, how did y'all not know it?
00:50:17.679 --> 00:50:29.440
It's like, I mean, we had like a little wave earlier, but it wasn't anything because it was just like so, like in the big part of the ocean, you know, the deep part, it's just like but then like it just gets sucked in and it comes over there.
00:50:29.679 --> 00:50:42.960
It's like, I don't know, kind of learning about tsunamis was like very interesting and also hard to it's hard to watch videos of people seeing a tsunami coming in there and they're like they didn't know it was coming, and they're like, Oh, look at the water, isn't that cool?
00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:45.280
People are walking toward it and they're like, Oh shit.
00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:46.639
Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.
00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:48.480
Wait, why water get bigger?
00:50:49.920 --> 00:50:51.760
I know, and it's just like uh brutal.
00:50:51.840 --> 00:50:54.320
There's apparently, I think it's called like impossible or something.
00:50:54.559 --> 00:50:57.679
Got Owen Wilson and Naomi Watts, I believe, in it.
00:50:57.760 --> 00:51:02.320
Apparently it's supposed to be a pretty good um like they're in a tsunami situation.
00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:02.960
Oh, cool.
00:51:03.119 --> 00:51:09.519
I wanted to like recommend it with this movie, but wow, hey, where'd where'd all the water go?
00:51:09.679 --> 00:51:10.239
Wow.
00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:12.400
We got it in there, baby.
00:51:12.639 --> 00:51:13.119
We got it.
00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:14.480
You just have to.
00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:20.400
So oh so the comets fragments.
00:51:20.639 --> 00:51:21.679
The comet's pregnant?
00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:30.239
The comet fragments oceanic impact sees Washington,
D.C., New York City underwater as submerged landmarks and skyscrapers break off and float away.
00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:35.920
Yeah, I love how the Statue of Liberties just sitting there and it gets and you see its head like floating down the street.
00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:39.599
Cloverfield's like, hey, that was gonna be me.
00:51:40.719 --> 00:51:43.039
You only had to wait 10 years.
00:51:43.599 --> 00:51:45.599
That was my head to knock off.
00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:53.599
Um, but yeah, and then of course you get the Twin Towers, and it's just impossible to not watch some of these older movies when the Twin Towers gets hit.
00:51:53.679 --> 00:51:57.039
That it's just like fuck, fuck, right?
00:51:58.320 --> 00:52:05.360
Um, so most of the crew of the Messiah are given chances to say their tearful goodbyes to their spouses and loved ones in mission control.
00:52:05.840 --> 00:52:07.840
Fuck me, it worked so well.
00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:11.519
Um, before they commit talking to the baby, yeah.
00:52:11.840 --> 00:52:12.480
Oh god.
00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:12.800
Yeah.
00:52:13.039 --> 00:52:19.760
And it's like before they're essentially gonna like uh commit suicide by saving the world from Wolf Biederman.
00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:25.119
All the crews get to say goodbye except Tanner, but he says goodbye to his uh, I'm assuming, dead wife.
00:52:25.280 --> 00:52:29.840
I could for a second it made me seem like I thought I was like, wait, were they divorced or dead?
00:52:29.920 --> 00:52:33.920
But yeah, she was dead because he was when he was talking to his sons, I think he mentioned it.
00:52:34.159 --> 00:52:34.800
Yeah, yeah.
00:52:35.039 --> 00:52:38.239
Umash's wife and baby show up last second.
00:52:38.400 --> 00:52:43.199
Uh, he gives a very uh heartbreaking speech.
00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:44.880
It really worked.
00:52:45.039 --> 00:52:48.400
Um uh I put I'm dead inside while writing this.
00:52:48.639 --> 00:52:54.559
So they collide with the asteroid as Manash says, uh finishes saying goodbye to his newborn baby.
00:52:54.800 --> 00:53:01.199
Oh, they said after that, all this heartfelt stuff, they just say like bazinga as they crash.
00:53:01.519 --> 00:53:02.159
Bazinga.
00:53:02.960 --> 00:53:04.320
Oh bugger dude.
00:53:04.880 --> 00:53:11.199
Um the plan works! The larger comet chunk is vaporized and the messiah is destroyed in the process.
00:53:11.360 --> 00:53:14.000
Flooding from the impact reaches deep inland.
00:53:14.239 --> 00:53:16.159
Untold millions of people are killed.
00:53:16.320 --> 00:53:19.920
Eventually the waters recede and a small measure of balance is restored.
00:53:20.079 --> 00:53:24.800
Leo and Sarah survive and watch as the giant meteorite explodes overhead.
00:53:25.679 --> 00:53:35.840
We then see a uh like ending uh epilogue with the White House and the Capitol being rebuilt as President Morgan Freeman gives his inspiring speech.
00:53:36.159 --> 00:53:38.480
Cities fall, but they all rebuilt.
00:53:38.639 --> 00:53:40.320
Heroes die, but they are remembered.
00:53:40.480 --> 00:53:42.400
I feel like I almost went JFK on the one.
00:53:42.960 --> 00:53:43.440
The end.
00:53:43.920 --> 00:53:47.519
Little did he know that 12 years later he'd be playing the president again.
00:53:47.920 --> 00:53:51.760
Man, what doesn't it suck to like all those people stuck on the road?
00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:59.679
Is that if 10 minutes earlier, if they just got out of their cars and ran up the hill, they would have been fine.
00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:03.039
I mean, they know it's gonna be big water.
00:54:03.360 --> 00:54:04.000
Fucking brutal.
00:54:04.400 --> 00:54:09.280
Especially if like you're Sarah and um Leo, it's like they could have made it.
00:54:09.679 --> 00:54:11.119
They could have just made it.
00:54:11.280 --> 00:54:14.159
If they just like So Sarah, you don't think Sarah and Leo made it?
00:54:14.400 --> 00:54:15.280
Well, no, they did make it.
00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:17.760
They got it up the hill and you see them like looking over the room.
00:54:18.000 --> 00:54:22.559
Yeah, everybody's gonna be like her parents could have just ran up the if they ran up the hill an hour earlier, they'd been fine.
00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:24.880
What if Leo was just like, follow us?
00:54:25.679 --> 00:54:27.440
Yeah, hey, take that card, take it in the woods.
00:54:27.519 --> 00:54:28.320
I don't know.
00:54:29.119 --> 00:54:31.519
Um, but yeah, that's deep impact.
00:54:31.599 --> 00:54:34.000
What do you think the point of deep impact is?
00:54:35.119 --> 00:54:36.400
Definitely has a message.
00:54:36.960 --> 00:54:37.440
I don't know.
00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:46.880
I was I was thinking about this, and a lot of people and a lot a lot more people in this movie kept kept cool heads, I think.
00:54:47.519 --> 00:54:48.079
Which is nice.
00:54:48.559 --> 00:54:58.719
It's like, what if we didn't get like everybody that scored a two on the IQ tests did stuff in a movie instead of Armageddon where it's just like, yeah, we got our dumbest people on it.
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:00.880
I don't know.
00:55:01.119 --> 00:55:09.280
Um at the same time, they could have moved everybody off of the everybody should have left their homes way earlier.
00:55:09.440 --> 00:55:12.239
Yeah, if they would have let them know, like early warning system.
00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:13.039
That's the point.
00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:17.840
Those were like the those were the plot holes that kind of was like I had to ignore.
00:55:18.000 --> 00:55:21.760
Like while watching him, like, guys, you've had a year to prepare.
00:55:22.159 --> 00:55:26.400
I know like all this is being like, hey, they might destroy the comet, so let's not worry.
00:55:26.719 --> 00:55:29.920
Like, ah, they got that little nuke situation that they're gonna try.
00:55:30.079 --> 00:55:30.880
Don't worry.
00:55:31.119 --> 00:55:37.119
But then, like, once the nukes don't work, it's like, all right, like wherever
the nearest mountain is, I'm going.
00:55:37.199 --> 00:55:37.440
Yeah.
00:55:37.679 --> 00:55:39.119
All right, I'm going to Gallenburg.
00:55:39.360 --> 00:55:40.639
Everybody move to the mountains.
00:55:40.800 --> 00:55:40.880
Yeah.
00:55:41.039 --> 00:55:41.599
That'd be cool.
00:55:41.679 --> 00:55:45.360
Um for me, I thought I think the point of the movie is to appreciate what we have.
00:55:45.599 --> 00:55:46.159
Like that's true.
00:55:46.320 --> 00:55:54.159
You know, like throw away all the hate that you have for someone or others and to come together as one and good things will happen.
00:55:54.239 --> 00:55:56.960
Ginny and her father are like the astronauts on the Messiah.
00:55:57.039 --> 00:56:00.719
Gin or Ginny and her father, and like the astronauts on the Messiah.
00:56:00.880 --> 00:56:09.679
Ginny got to be held by someone she loved before the world ended, something that she would have not gotten to do without learning to like forgive because of the asteroid and stuff.
00:56:09.840 --> 00:56:13.920
And if the astronauts didn't learn to work with Tanner, the entire planet would have been destroyed.
00:56:14.079 --> 00:56:16.400
Stop the fucking bullshit and let's come together, darn it.
00:56:16.719 --> 00:56:17.039
Yeah.
00:56:17.280 --> 00:56:18.719
Marry a child.
00:56:19.360 --> 00:56:21.760
If the world's gonna end, then it's okay.
00:56:22.079 --> 00:56:22.639
I don't know.
00:56:22.880 --> 00:56:25.360
After you said that, maybe we should get hit by a comment.
00:56:26.480 --> 00:56:28.559
Marry a child if you are a child.
00:56:28.880 --> 00:56:30.800
Let's let's put that part in there too, Jason.
00:56:31.119 --> 00:56:31.920
Let's make that very clear.
00:56:32.159 --> 00:56:33.679
Let's have our children get married.
00:56:34.559 --> 00:56:35.920
Two other children.
00:56:36.239 --> 00:56:37.760
Ooh, actually, one more point.
00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:43.920
Um, so there's the part where the bigger comet gets blown up, and then like Ginny and Leo and Sarah make it.
00:56:44.000 --> 00:56:48.800
They're standing like on the mountain, and you see all the pieces of comet like fly over.
00:56:48.960 --> 00:56:50.079
Great, beautiful.
00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:52.960
She signs, she then she divorces him on the spot.
00:56:53.360 --> 00:56:54.159
We're too young for this.
00:56:54.400 --> 00:56:56.000
Actually, I'm marrying my baby brother now.
00:56:56.159 --> 00:56:59.440
Oh, you're too old for me, Leo.
00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:04.639
Uh dumb, dumb joke.
00:57:05.280 --> 00:57:11.519
All right, uh, before we get into our next category, I want to know your rankings of the four movies we did.
00:57:11.840 --> 00:57:17.039
Armageddon, Deep Impact, Volcano, Dante's Peak.
00:57:17.519 --> 00:57:19.840
I think it goes Deep Impact, Armageddon.
00:57:20.239 --> 00:57:21.679
I thought you like Armageddon more than this.
00:57:22.079 --> 00:57:28.719
Well, I mean, I like this movie more, but Armageddon's more fun to watch.
00:57:28.960
--> 00:57:32.239
It's something like if it was on, you'd be like, oh yeah, I'll just check out wherever it's at.
00:57:32.719 --> 00:57:37.840
When it's in the background, Deep Impact, you'd be like, I don't feel like crying, I'm gonna watch Deep Impact.
00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:39.119
I don't want to hurt.
00:57:39.679 --> 00:57:39.840
Yeah.
00:57:40.079 --> 00:57:40.800
Okay, yeah, I get it.
00:57:40.880 --> 00:57:41.280
All right, go ahead.
00:57:41.360 --> 00:57:41.599
Keep going.
00:57:41.760 --> 00:57:42.159
Sorry, interruption.
00:57:42.400 --> 00:57:45.360
And then uh Dante, then Volcano.
00:57:45.599 --> 00:57:49.920
So mine was gonna mine's uh Deep Impact, then Dante's Peak.
00:57:50.079 --> 00:57:54.000
Nice Dante Speak for me is just like it's not the best movie.
00:57:54.320 --> 00:57:55.039
Let's be real.
00:57:55.199 --> 00:57:59.760
Um, but like if I was like home and like, oh, Dante's Peak's line.
00:57:59.920 --> 00:58:01.840
Let me just let me just check out where it's at.
00:58:02.000 --> 00:58:05.440
It's it's kind of like a warm blanket movie, weirdly for me.
00:58:05.599 --> 00:58:05.920
I don't know.
00:58:06.159 --> 00:58:06.719
Old peers.
00:58:06.960 --> 00:58:09.280
Um and then I'll do Armageddon, then Volcano.
00:58:09.360 --> 00:58:10.480
Poor Volcano.
00:58:10.800 --> 00:58:16.320
But I will always remember Tommy Lee Jones taking that man's jackhammer.
00:58:18.159 --> 00:58:18.559
What's up?
00:58:18.719 --> 00:58:19.199
I done right.
00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:25.519
When you think someone's not jackhammered enough, you go take that jackhammer and you jackhammer harder, damn it.
00:58:26.960 --> 00:58:29.360
It's like, dude, the machine does all the work for you.
00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:30.239
Why are you taking it?
00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:36.559
You're not doing your reminded me of the when he played uh Too Faced in Batman Forever.
00:58:36.800 --> 00:58:37.119
Yes.
00:58:37.280 --> 00:58:40.960
Oh, still the crazy Too Faced there is.
00:58:41.679 --> 00:58:43.440
Way better than Dark Knight's Two Face.
00:58:43.679 --> 00:58:44.960
Um I agree.
00:58:45.599 --> 00:58:46.719
Way better.
00:58:46.960 --> 00:58:51.760
Um God, that'd be great if you turned into Too Faced and he just started acting like Tommy D.
00:58:51.920 --> 00:58:52.559
Long's too far.
00:58:53.039 --> 00:58:57.920
He just they splash acid on his face and they just remove him and just replace him with the totally gun.
00:59:00.239 --> 00:59:02.159
Hey, work work for me.
00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:06.480
All right, so we're gonna hit our next category: the good, the bad, the ugly, the fine.
00:59:06.559 --> 00:59:13.519
It's where we discuss the good of the film, something we liked, the bad, something we didn't like, the ugly, something that didn't age well, the fine, something that did age well.
00:59:13.840 --> 00:59:17.599
Um so for the good for me, I put the serious sad tone of the movie.
00:59:17.679 --> 00:59:19.679
Uh, it fits more with what is happening.
00:59:20.079 --> 00:59:20.719
Yeah, I think so.
00:59:20.800 --> 00:59:21.760
That was kind of mine too.
00:59:21.840 --> 00:59:29.519
Like the a lot of the characters have like deep introspection and like a lot of character building going on.
00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:30.559
And development, right?
00:59:30.960 --> 00:59:31.679
Yeah, that's what I meant.
00:59:31.920 --> 00:59:39.519
The only character development in Armageddon is uh pretty much just Bruce Willis being like, you know what?
00:59:39.760 --> 00:59:41.599
I actually do like Ben Affleck.
00:59:42.000 --> 00:59:43.440
I like Ben more than you now.
00:59:45.920 --> 00:59:46.559
Yeah.
00:59:46.800 --> 00:59:50.320
Um, so for the bad, I put the father, just the actor.
00:59:50.480 --> 00:59:53.360
He just oh, it's just such a weak point of the movie.
00:59:53.519 --> 00:59:54.639
I don't know what it is.
00:59:54.880 --> 00:59:57.599
Maybe maybe he is acting good and I just don't like his face.
00:59:57.679 --> 00:59:58.400
I don't know.
01:00:00.159 --> 01:00:02.639
As far as bad goes, I don't know.
01:00:03.039 --> 01:00:07.840
Seeing it was bad that Elijah Wooden didn't immediately turn into Frodo back in the street.
01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:08.239
That's true.
01:00:08.320 --> 01:00:09.119
He would have rings.
01:00:09.280 --> 01:00:10.239
He would have really sucked it.
01:00:10.719 --> 01:00:12.079
She goes, Yes, I will marry.
01:00:12.320 --> 01:00:13.840
He tries to grab one ring out.
01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:14.880
Yeah.
01:00:15.119 --> 01:00:17.119
Or she puts it on and becomes invisible.
01:00:17.280 --> 01:00:17.519
Yeah.
01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:17.679
Yeah.
01:00:19.760 --> 01:00:21.199
This isn't the right movie.
01:00:21.920 --> 01:00:26.079
I actually want to look up who Maximilian Shell is, the guy that played the father.
01:00:26.639 --> 01:00:28.159
See what I know him from.
01:00:28.480 --> 01:00:29.599
I will say what my ugly.
01:00:30.480 --> 01:00:32.960
My ugly was going to be the name Rittenhouse.
01:00:35.360 --> 01:00:35.760
Really?
01:00:35.920 --> 01:00:36.400
Why?
01:00:37.519 --> 01:00:38.960
Because of the shooter.
01:00:39.360 --> 01:00:40.000
I know.
01:00:42.559 --> 01:00:43.840
That has not aged well.
01:00:44.239 --> 01:00:45.360
Not aged well.
01:00:46.079 --> 01:00:46.719
Apparently.
01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:47.440
Oh, I'm not.
01:00:47.519 --> 01:00:47.760
Nope.
01:00:47.920 --> 01:00:50.960
Not a political podcast, but I understand.
01:00:51.440 --> 01:00:55.280
Uh, what didn't age well for me is uh sorry, bro, but the father.
01:00:57.119 --> 01:00:59.840
Hey, that this guy's taking so many cheap shots from me.
01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:02.639
He did pretty good facial hair, if you know if nothing else.
01:01:02.880 --> 01:01:03.199
He did.
01:01:03.280 --> 01:01:03.679
He did.
01:01:03.840 --> 01:01:04.159
He did.
01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:06.719
So he aged well as a person.
01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:10.320
Um and the fact that most people find
Armageddon better.
01:01:10.559 --> 01:01:13.599
I just two there's totally different.
01:01:13.920 --> 01:01:20.159
I mean, I'm just, it doesn't like not age well, but I just wanted to put something other than The Father because poor guy.
01:01:20.320 --> 01:01:23.440
But if you do like Armageddon more than this movie, hell fucking yeah.
01:01:23.599 --> 01:01:24.239
Way to go, guys.
01:01:24.400 --> 01:01:32.159
I heard I heard someone else talking about this these two movies together, and Armageddon is like right wing, deep impact's definitely left wing.
01:01:32.320 --> 01:01:33.119
Right, yeah.
01:01:33.360 --> 01:01:33.679
Right.
01:01:33.920 --> 01:01:36.480
It's so wild how that happened.
01:01:37.280 --> 01:01:41.519
Um it's just the difference that a little empathy can can bring to a movie.
01:01:41.599 --> 01:01:42.880
I think you don't have empathy.
01:01:43.039 --> 01:01:44.400
What Republicans don't have empathy?
01:01:44.639 --> 01:01:45.440
Empathy running.
01:01:46.159 --> 01:01:46.800
I have no idea.
01:01:47.039 --> 01:01:48.320
It's not a political podcast.
01:01:48.480 --> 01:01:53.039
If you are a Republican, but it could be go watch Arm Again and have a hell of a time.
01:01:53.599 --> 01:01:55.920
I'm looking at like a camera, I guess.
01:01:56.000 --> 01:01:58.639
I'm like looking away from you, thumbs uping the wall.
01:01:59.039 --> 01:02:00.000
Doing the Fallout Boy?
01:02:00.079 --> 01:02:00.320
Yeah.
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:01.920
Like good show, though.
01:02:02.159 --> 01:02:02.639
Not the band.
01:02:03.199 --> 01:02:04.000
Show kicks ass.
01:02:04.079 --> 01:02:05.199
Yeah, the season two's coming out.
01:02:05.280 --> 01:02:06.239
I think I'm just gonna wait for it all.
01:02:06.960 --> 01:02:08.000
We're almost done with season two.
01:02:08.239 --> 01:02:09.440
Wait, did he release all of them?
01:02:09.599 --> 01:02:10.480
Oh, not all of them.
01:02:10.639 --> 01:02:11.119
Oh, okay.
01:02:11.280 --> 01:02:13.519
Well, we've gotten like eight episodes in or something.
01:02:13.679 --> 01:02:14.400
Oh, snap.
01:02:14.639 --> 01:02:14.960
So good.
01:02:15.119 --> 01:02:16.320
I can't wait to watch it again.
01:02:16.480 --> 01:02:17.760
Um, what aged well?
01:02:18.000 --> 01:02:19.519
Morgan Freeman is president.
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:20.639
All right.
01:02:20.880 --> 01:02:21.199
He does.
01:02:21.280 --> 01:02:23.840
I mean, we actually did it again in Olympus Fall.
01:02:24.239 --> 01:02:24.559
Yeah.
01:02:24.719 --> 01:02:26.400
He's been president like three or four times.
01:02:26.639 --> 01:02:27.840
Yeah, what else has been in as well?
01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:30.239
He's God and he's our God and he's our president.
01:02:30.480 --> 01:02:30.960
Oh man.
01:02:31.199 --> 01:02:32.000
Morgan Freeman.
01:02:32.719 --> 01:02:34.400
I just can't help but look up to this guy.
01:02:34.719 --> 01:02:35.360
Yeah.
01:02:35.840 --> 01:02:38.239
It's just there's so much regalness to him.
01:02:38.639 --> 01:02:43.840
Or there like he seems like he should be in charge of everything.
01:02:44.079 --> 01:02:44.239
Yeah.
01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:46.239
Yeah.
01:02:46.400 --> 01:02:49.039
Like leader that everyone looks up to.
01:02:49.280 --> 01:02:50.400
Love the old boy.
01:02:50.719 --> 01:02:52.000
Do you have anything else for the fun?
01:02:52.480 --> 01:02:52.639
No.
01:02:53.599 --> 01:02:56.239
Alright, we're gonna hit up our next category, double featured.
01:02:56.400 --> 01:03:00.800
It's where we recommend a movie movie that goes alongside this movie.
01:03:01.280 --> 01:03:01.920
You want to go first?
01:03:02.079 --> 01:03:03.119
You want me to go first?
01:03:03.360 --> 01:03:06.639
Uh mine is going to be uh Melancholia.
01:03:06.960 --> 01:03:07.679
Have you seen this one?
01:03:08.079 --> 01:03:08.559
Shit, I haven't.
01:03:08.639 --> 01:03:11.760
That's Bar uh Bars Von Trier?
01:03:12.159 --> 01:03:12.400
Bars?
01:03:13.199 --> 01:03:14.239
Lars Von Trier.
01:03:14.480 --> 01:03:14.639
Sorry.
01:03:15.920 --> 01:03:16.559
Yes, it is.
01:03:16.719 --> 01:03:17.280
Yeah.
01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:18.960
He makes weird ass movies.
01:03:20.079 --> 01:03:21.920
It's like at uh Kristen Dunst.
01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:22.960
Kirsten Dunst.
01:03:23.119 --> 01:03:23.840
Kirsten Dunst.
01:03:24.000 --> 01:03:24.320
It's like her.
01:03:24.480 --> 01:03:25.039
She's at a wedding.
01:03:25.119 --> 01:03:25.760
She's super sad.
01:03:26.000 --> 01:03:26.960
She's so depressed.
01:03:27.119 --> 01:03:29.199
And it's like, hey, there's a we're all gonna die.
01:03:29.679 --> 01:03:30.400
There's a planet.
01:03:30.559 --> 01:03:31.599
They hidden behind the sun.
01:03:32.000 --> 01:03:32.880
It's gonna kill everybody.
01:03:33.119 --> 01:03:34.239
I really do gotta watch it.
01:03:34.480 --> 01:03:36.320
It's so sad and depressing.
01:03:36.559 --> 01:03:38.079
A lot of his movies are.
01:03:38.400 --> 01:03:40.559
I would say his movies are not easy to watch.
01:03:40.639 --> 01:03:42.480
Have you ever heard of the movie Antichrist?
01:03:42.880 --> 01:03:43.199
No.
01:03:43.519 --> 01:03:45.039
So like the beginning of that movie.
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:46.159
Spoilers for Antichrist.
01:03:46.400 --> 01:03:47.039
Peter Teal?
01:03:47.119 --> 01:03:47.760
So no.
01:03:48.079 --> 01:03:51.760
It's like uh Peter Teal knows about the Antichrist.
01:03:52.079 --> 01:03:54.559
It's this um it's a movie.
01:03:54.800 --> 01:04:00.079
It starts off, it's got um uh he plays Green Goblin.
01:04:00.320 --> 01:04:03.199
I'm blanking on his name in the Spider-Man movies.
01:04:03.440 --> 01:04:03.599
Yeah.
01:04:04.000 --> 01:04:08.079
Um I'm so sorry, guys.
01:04:08.719 --> 01:04:10.480
My brain just doesn't fucking work.
01:04:10.800 --> 01:04:12.159
And neither is my computer.
01:04:12.320 --> 01:04:12.880
Let's go.
01:04:13.280 --> 01:04:14.960
Now I'm gonna have to edit.
01:04:15.199 --> 01:04:16.000
Damn it.
01:04:16.320 --> 01:04:17.440
William Defoe's
in it.
01:04:18.320 --> 01:04:21.280
And uh another actress that's good um in it.
01:04:21.360 --> 01:04:27.920
And like it starts off with like William Dafoe and this character having sex um while there's like a with the green goblet.
01:04:28.320 --> 01:04:35.840
While there's a child like walking around and the child gets like out of the crib and like falls to his death out of the window, and it's all about grief and like blaming each other and stuff.
01:04:36.000 --> 01:04:47.360
And then so they're like, hey, we're gonna go out to like this cabin, and uh the wife kind of starts going, they they both kind of start going a little cuckoo, and um there's some genitalia violence in it.
01:04:47.599 --> 01:04:48.079
Whoa.
01:04:48.960 --> 01:04:59.199
I remember hearing about the movie from my friends, and they're like, You should watch it, it's fucked up, and I was like, Okay, and then I was like, it's kind of boring, and uh don't want to watch any more of it.
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:01.920
Um that was my first Lars Frontier movie.
01:05:02.000 --> 01:05:07.199
Then I also watched his movies called Nymphomaniac, which is kind of about this girl and her journey through sex and stuff.
01:05:07.440 --> 01:05:08.159
Does she have sex with that?
01:05:08.880 --> 01:05:12.960
And um, she's like a uh Well, that's that's necrophilia.
01:05:13.679 --> 01:05:15.760
Uh she's like addicted to sex and stuff like that.
01:05:15.840 --> 01:05:20.960
Um then it just has it just has like a shitty ass fucking ending.
01:05:21.199 --> 01:05:25.119
Everybody pumped those movies up to me, and I was like, I don't know, man.
01:05:25.360 --> 01:05:26.639
It was fine.
01:05:27.039 --> 01:05:31.679
People like it was such a good ending, and I was like, Ah, it just seems like a dumb ending.
01:05:31.920 --> 01:05:36.960
Anyways, I don't watch a lot of his movies, but I have always wanted to watch that.
01:05:37.039 --> 01:05:38.239
I heard that was really good.
01:05:38.400 --> 01:05:45.760
Um, my double feature is a movie that people had issues with because it was nominated for an Oscar and we couldn't disappreciate that it was a decent movie.
01:05:45.920 --> 01:05:46.800
Don't look up.
01:05:46.960 --> 01:05:48.400
Yeah, yeah, it's kind of the part.
01:05:49.440 --> 01:05:51.760
It's not like this movie.
01:05:51.920 --> 01:05:57.599
It is people doing what would really happen if this had a situation happened in our today world.
01:05:57.760 --> 01:05:58.159
Yeah.
01:05:58.320 --> 01:05:59.840
Um it's fucking awesome.
01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:00.320
Yeah.
01:06:00.559 --> 01:06:05.599
And what and if there would be another recommendation, it would be uh a friend for the end of the world.
01:06:05.920 --> 01:06:06.960
Oh, Steve Krill?
01:06:07.119 --> 01:06:07.280
Yeah.
01:06:07.360 --> 01:06:07.519
Yeah.
01:06:07.760 --> 01:06:08.639
That one's really good too.
01:06:08.880 --> 01:06:09.920
Yeah, I remember that movie.
01:06:10.880 --> 01:06:12.159
Um Don't Look Up.
01:06:12.239 --> 01:06:14.400
I didn't I actually never watch that movie, but it's pretty good.
01:06:14.639 --> 01:06:16.000
Don't look up Adam McKay.
01:06:16.159 --> 01:06:17.440
He did Step Brothers.
01:06:18.079 --> 01:06:18.800
Cool, right?
01:06:19.039 --> 01:06:20.320
I fucking love Step Brothers.
01:06:20.559 --> 01:06:22.079
Um but yeah, the cast fucking rules.
01:06:23.920 --> 01:06:28.239
Jennifer Lawrence has maybe like some of the like the best joke in the movie.
01:06:28.400 --> 01:06:32.000
It's because this one guy, it's like this general or whatever.
01:06:32.079 --> 01:06:35.679
He's like, hey, can you buy me like this bag of chips?
01:06:35.760 --> 01:06:38.719
And they buy them it, and then it turns out they get the chips for free.
01:06:38.800 --> 01:06:40.800
And like it took 10 bucks from them.
01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:41.280
Yeah.
01:06:41.519 --> 01:06:42.800
And it's so funny.
01:06:42.960 --> 01:06:44.800
It's it's just like such a classic thing.
01:06:44.960 --> 01:06:51.360
Comedy is a three, because she mentions it three times, and on that third note, when it hits, it hits so good.
01:06:52.480 --> 01:06:54.800
Also has a really good, sad ending.
01:06:54.960 --> 01:06:59.039
Um, and just so fucking the past crushes it.
01:06:59.760 --> 01:07:06.000
And Jason, man, there's our little that was our little four-movie little project we did there.
01:07:06.159 --> 01:07:07.679
It wasn't as deep as I thought it would be.
01:07:07.920 --> 01:07:08.320
What?
01:07:08.559 --> 01:07:09.119
The impact.
01:07:11.360 --> 01:07:12.320
It was fun though.
01:07:12.480 --> 01:07:15.039
It was it was cool to watch movies that are like other movies.
01:07:15.199 --> 01:07:19.519
I'd if I ever find out there's four moon like two more movies like each other, we'll do them.
01:07:19.679 --> 01:07:24.400
That was there's there's like 14 movies that are like this.
01:07:24.559 --> 01:07:33.360
It's like Alephis has fallen, and then uh what was the other one that came out like uh newer ones like that just aren't as good.
01:07:33.679 --> 01:07:35.199
They all just kind of look like shit.
01:07:35.440 --> 01:07:40.639
It's like, even though I guess all these were technically considered shitty for the time, they're all poorly reviewed.
01:07:40.800 --> 01:07:44.159
Uh, but you know, still I fucking liked all of them.
01:07:44.239 --> 01:07:48.159
I mean, just volcanoes are sorry, but sorry, volcano.
01:07:48.480 --> 01:07:51.840
It was still fun, they're all fun movies, and that's what disaster movies are supposed to be.
01:07:52.559 --> 01:07:53.119
Magma.
01:07:53.199 --> 01:07:54.320
I've never heard of magma.
01:07:54.559 --> 01:07:55.280
What color is it?
01:07:55.440 --> 01:07:55.840
Red?
01:07:56.880 --> 01:07:58.480
But it's coming to the end.
01:07:58.639 --> 01:08:00.320
So uh, you know what?
01:08:00.480 --> 01:08:02.480
I'm ready for some fucking zombies, right?
01:08:02.719 --> 01:08:03.840
Yes, yes.
01:08:04.159 --> 01:08:04.400
Boom.
01:08:04.800 --> 01:08:08.239
28 days later is what we're doing next, baby.
01:08:09.440 --> 01:08:11.599
The best zombie movie.
01:08:11.760 --> 01:08:14.880
It's more of a virus movie, and uh, but who cares?
01:08:15.039 --> 01:08:15.760
It's a zombie movie.
01:08:16.159 --> 01:08:16.880
So much, I guess.
01:08:17.119 --> 01:08:18.239
Yeah, it's great.
01:08:18.399 --> 01:08:22.960
The soundtrack, oh, the song, this the just the score of it is so good.
01:08:23.119 --> 01:08:23.680
Love it.
01:08:23.840 --> 01:08:29.199
Um, and it has one of my favorite I accidentally turned into a zombie scene.
01:08:29.359 --> 01:08:29.680
Whoa.
01:08:29.920 --> 01:08:30.800
With the crow.
01:08:31.039 --> 01:08:31.680
Oh, yeah.
01:08:32.000 --> 01:08:32.399
What's up?
01:08:32.479 --> 01:08:34.560
Great meta moody R.I.P.
01:08:34.640 --> 01:08:36.720
baby in the movie, not like in real life.
01:08:36.880 --> 01:08:39.840
Well, you were gonna say when he looks up and the blood drops in his eyeball.
01:08:39.920 --> 01:08:40.239
That's it.
01:08:40.319 --> 01:08:42.079
Okay, it's like a bird's like pecking.
01:08:42.239 --> 01:08:45.039

01:08:45.359 --> 01:08:45.680
No.
01:08:46.000 --> 01:08:46.239

I hope you enjoyed our little four-movie stint here that we did.
01:09:21.119 --> 01:09:30.640
Um, if there's any other type of like theme, like a monthly theme or something, like I want to do this year, like the three man with no name uh movies.
01:09:30.720 --> 01:09:32.079
That's the Clint Eastwood movies.
01:09:32.159 --> 01:09:36.800
It's like cool uh uh for a few dollars or whatever the first one's called.
01:09:37.039 --> 01:09:38.399
And then like the good, the bad, the ugly.
01:09:38.560 --> 01:09:39.359
Uh I've seen that one.
01:09:39.520 --> 01:09:40.319
Fistful of dollars.
01:09:40.560 --> 01:09:43.600
That's what it's called, and then a few dollars more, and then the good, the bad, and the ugly.
01:09:44.079 --> 01:09:45.520
Um, they're all three good.
01:09:45.760 --> 01:09:48.880
And uh it's that classic like spaghetti Italian Western films.
01:09:49.600 --> 01:09:50.800
Oh lost so good.
01:09:50.960 --> 01:10:04.159
And then maybe uh we'll probably also I have an idea of like after doing those three movies, maybe doing like one a month and then the next month do Tombstone to just be like a shot in the face of like, oh shit, that's an American movie.
01:10:04.960 --> 01:10:06.079
Completely different.
01:10:06.399 --> 01:10:19.680
Um but yeah, if you have if anybody has if you have any ideas of like a little like monthly list of movies, if you want us to be like, hey, do four movies from this director, you guys pick or whatever.
01:10:19.840 --> 01:10:20.960
Um, that'd be fun to do.
01:10:21.119 --> 01:10:23.760
Let's do all the Lord of the Rings in one episode.
01:10:25.039 --> 01:10:27.119
Uh well, I we could do it.
01:10:27.680 --> 01:10:29.039
