00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:11.199
I'm Susie.
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:12.320
And I'm Craig.
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:14.640
And this is Basket Traffic.
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:18.320
Much better name.
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:21.280
Bastard.
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:26.640
We are back.
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:27.519
We're back.
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:32.159
We're here after this is uh the start of our third season.
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:33.119
You must be excited.
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:34.159
Did you sleep last night?
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:35.280
Uh I did.
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:36.320
Very well.
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:37.200
You did.
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:40.240
Just people weren't sure if we were gonna be back or not.
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:41.200
So this is exciting.
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.280
You know, they're so they were so worried in Paris that they're burning down the city.
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.880
Yeah, well, I and it's no relaxed.
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:49.439
We're back.
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:50.799
We are back to Italy.
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:52.159
How important this podcast is.
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:52.799
Exactly.
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:53.920
People give a shit what we do.
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:55.359
Yeah, apparently.
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:55.679
Yeah.
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:56.000
Yeah.
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:01.840
So third seasons are funny, right, in shows because usually everything goes off the rails in the third season.
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.799
You know, the character and the story arcs are all set up.
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:05.280
Right, right.
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:12.239
And then and then something used there's usually a huge plot twist or a conclusion to a storyline or somebody dies.
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:12.560
Right.
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:13.760
Croshing my fingers over it.
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:16.480
Also like the third generation of a family-owned business, right?
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:18.000
Third generation fucks it up.
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:18.560
Exactly.
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.439
So I expect this this season is gonna be horrible.
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:22.799
Big fucking flaming target.
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.599
It is just dumpster fire.
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:29.120
Anyways, there's a great advertisement for the show.
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:30.159
We're back, baby.
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:31.120
Dumpster fire.
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:31.840
Oh fuck.
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.159
Yeah, we are back though, and we're excited to be back.
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.000
It's gonna be it's gonna be a great year.
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:37.439
And we just had a little time off.
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:38.400
Yeah, we did.
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.400
Now, what did you get up to?
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.319
Well, it's only been five weeks, Shawn.
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.200
So I'm I'm like a dog.
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.040
That is like three, four years from dog years.
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:50.480
Uh well, you know what I got up to?
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:54.560
I bought a new Blu-ray DVD player and I bought Interstellar.
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:58.159
And what made me think of that right now was you know how they get to that planet?
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:02.239
And by being on that planet, one hour is the equivalent of seven years.
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:03.040
Uh-huh.
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:03.599
Yes.
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:04.719
That's what it must be.
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:05.920
I yes, that's what it is.
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:06.159
Exactly.
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.240
That's what happens when good movie poll there.
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:09.039
I'm impressed.
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:09.599
Yeah.
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.840
And I had no idea that uh Timothy Chalamet was in that movie.
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:14.960
I forgot that he was in that movie.
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:16.159
Yeah.
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:16.479
Yeah.
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:17.039
I didn't know.
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:18.960
Okay, so first of all, I didn't know you got a Blu-ray.
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:19.759
So congratulations.
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:20.319
Thank you.
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:24.400
Um, I'm I'm a little upset you didn't ask me to come along and help you with that purchase.
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.000
I mean, you know, have an expert to help you choose the Blu-rays.
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:28.319
Yeah.
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:33.039
Uh, but I'm impressed you got Interstellar because that's one that I didn't think of.
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.639
I was thinking of what I would buy just now.
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.159
And Interstellar is, you're right, it's gotta be I have it's it's gotta be.
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:40.400
Yeah.
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.639
I I think I think of like what comes to mind.
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:43.680
I think of Blade Runner.
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:44.800
Definitely Blade Runners.
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:45.680
Welcome, Susie.
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:46.479
Here we're just Susie.
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:48.560
Oh, how Susie had insurance.
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:56.000
We were gonna put that on live, the insurance uh phone call, but we you know thought it might be a little too exciting for people out there.
00:02:56.240 --> 00:03:00.080
So or or a little too Susie needs what explained?
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.800
Like it's insurance speak, you know?
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.319
It they say one thing, but do they really mean those things?
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:07.840
I thought you were talking to your agent.
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.879
I don't think they're trying to be cryptic.
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:16.240
Well, but I asked for an explanation and she replied without the explanation in email.
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.919
So then I needed to call her back again to say
Load full transcript
what did you mean by that?
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.599
I I thought you were talking to your agent because you were holding out for the third season here.
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:25.599
So it's gl I'm glad to see you at the table.
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:30.000
Yeah, we've noticed you've had some of your requests have been um checked.
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:31.919
One of my requests has been checked.
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.360
There's many others that have not even been looked at.
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.199
We have a brand new table.
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:38.800
It's not a brand new table.
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:39.840
We've refinished it.
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:50.960
And people know this because they were they were really invested in in the show last season, and I brought it up several times that this table needed to be finished, and uh you finally got to it.
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:51.439
So thank you.
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:53.039
Craig talks like we did it.
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:56.400
Oh, I guess you did do a little bit of it, but our daughter did it for us.
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:56.960
It's okay.
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:57.599
Oh, she did.
00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:58.639
Cameron did it.
00:03:58.800 --> 00:03:59.439
Oh, that's great.
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:00.879
Minimize whatever I do.
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:01.520
That's all good.
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:02.240
It's all good.
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:02.800
Zing.
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:03.599
Keep doing it.
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.960
Oh, she did most of the work and then you swooped in and helped.
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.280
Oh, so you took credit credit for it.
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:11.680
He did tell me he did it yesterday when I came.
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.360
He he never mentioned Cameron.
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:15.680
So she did a three anyways.
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.680
She did three pieces of furniture.
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:19.680
That's like when Craig talks about the podcast.
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.600
He's like, Have you listened to my podcast?
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:22.720
Everybody?
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:23.199
Yeah.
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.639
Well, he asked me if I think if I went to his wedding.
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:30.240
You know, we all make mistakes.
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:31.759
Weren't you there?
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:33.040
I don't remember.
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:35.759
Um, so we were talking about your new purchase.
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:36.480
Congratulations.
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:37.519
You got a Blu-ray.
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:39.040
You must be so excited.
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.279
Well, when those come out, 2000.
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:42.720
Ears are hurting.
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:43.600
1995.
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:44.480
It's so loud.
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:45.040
I know.
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:45.680
I know it's not.
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:47.199
Well, that was the inspiration for it.
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.240
So I I
had no so everything that been watching is through streaming, right?
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:51.040
Apple TV, right?
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:52.000
So everything is streaming.
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.279
Even though the 4K looks good, I have this really nice system.
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.480
And then um look going through this, uh watching this YouTube video.
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:02.319
This guy's saying, listen, as good as it looks, it's totally compressed.
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:03.839
The audio is heavily compressed.
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:09.920
It's the only way they can take these massive files and then stream them through you know the internet and at a reasonable size.
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:10.879
So I went, really?
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:11.360
Okay.
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:12.560
So I went and bought one.
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:13.759
They're not very expensive.
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:15.920
The movies are we gave it to you for your birthday.
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:16.399
Oh, sorry.
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:18.959
Oh my god, what is happening here?
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:22.399
He forgot that we bought him that for his birthday.
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:24.480
This is the theme of the show today, apparently.
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:25.759
Yeah, everything's Craig's.
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:26.319
Yeah.
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.920
Um, so I've got a VCR too, if you want it.
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.120
Jeez, dah, wow.
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.759
I mean, like how old is the Blu-ray now?
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:35.920
It's probably been around for a while.
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:36.399
Yeah.
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.279
I'm um probably two and a half decades late on this one.
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:41.600
So, and I've got an eight-track too, if you want it.
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.680
Um so when you say your ears are hurting, what are we talking about?
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:51.120
Well, the sound is so great and uncompressed that Oh, do you want to wave to the neighbors?
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.759
They're walking by our live studio window here.
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:54.399
It's okay.
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:56.000
Um, we they always look in.
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.560
Sorry, the blinds don't work right now in the studio.
00:05:58.560 --> 00:05:59.439
Blinds broke.
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.839
So, and Craig was explaining all the technology behind it.
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:02.560
And I said, Really?
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:03.839
I just have a string.
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.319
I just pull down on the string.
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:09.519
But yours is computerized and you know, whatever.
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:11.839
So, anyway, sorry, your ears.
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:20.319
So the stereo system is really good that we have, and so um, but the Blu-ray makes it better.
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:22.399
Okay, but what what were you watching?
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.920
Oh, we've watched um So we bought 1917.
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.000
Yeah, 1917 watched it twice.
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:28.879
Of course you did.
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:29.199
Yeah.
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:29.839
Twice.
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:42.240
The second one we were stopping because uh one of our daughters taking a history course in trench warfare and world war one, and so we were stopping and discussing and then going and stopping and discussing and going.
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.160
But oh, how entertaining how entertaining.
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:45.600
Yeah, the first time we didn't do it.
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:49.120
So we we bought they also bought the tr uh Christopher Nolan's trilogy, Batman.
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:49.839
Oh, okay.
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:50.560
Yeah, okay.
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.600
So you've done Nolan, which is who you should probably do.
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:54.399
Totally.
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:55.600
So yeah.
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:57.680
But yeah, and then I have a huge list.
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:02.399
Um, my next one I want to do is um Breakfast uh Oh, Breakfast Club.
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:03.199
Breakfast Club.
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:04.319
I was I thought you were joking.
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:04.879
Yeah, no.
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:05.759
For Blu-ray?
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:06.959
I know, I know.
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:08.000
Because what?
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:13.360
Guess how much it is to get the ultra-high definition Blu-ray version of Breakfast Club.
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.120
Normally, like if you get a you know, movies or how much is it?
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:17.920
Yeah, how much is it?
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.160
It is this like a price is right thing.
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:27.040
Okay, so uh, I'm gonna say if it's this collector's edition, I'm gonna say $69.99.
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:28.560
$80 Canadian.
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.199
So, you know, you're looking at what 60 US, something like that.
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:32.399
Is yeah, okay.
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:33.120
Well, interesting.
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:34.959
How much is 1917?
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:37.600
It was $19.17.
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:39.120
Yeah, no, believe it or not.
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:41.439
It was still like almost close to $40.
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.439
Well, they're all gonna be that much.
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:45.519
Not John Hughes is not one.
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.560
I love John Hughes, but it's not what I would think of for Blu-ray.
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.120
Yeah, but all the music would be great.
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:54.319
John Hughes directed 1917.
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:55.839
No, oh my god.
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:56.959
That would be great.
00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:00.000
Don't you as they're running through the trenches?
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:01.759
Forget about me.
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:03.600
That would be great.
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.399
I just sang that song to him when he was driving me to work the other day.
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:08.639
And he said he was gonna forget to go off on my exit.
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:10.800
And I started and I sent it and he says, Who sings that?
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:12.800
No, no, it's and what movie is that in?
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:14.160
Mockingheads, right?
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.360
Simple Minds, one of my favorite bands.
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.639
One of my favorite bands, so underrated, love them.
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:21.360
So, Shawn.
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:22.240
Yeah.
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:23.839
How are you feeling?
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:25.920
I'll get back to you on that.
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:29.199
Are we gonna pull the trigger on Digger?
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.519
It took me six weeks to come up with eyes.
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:32.000
Nice.
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:32.639
That's all I got.
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:32.960
Nice.
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:44.000
Your idea, you you said to me, because we were gonna do the social reckoning movie, and then you text me and you're like, nah, this there's no energy around this movie.
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:48.720
I think we should do Digger because Digger is turning out to be incredibly controversial.
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:50.000
Everyone's talking about it.
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:56.080
I'm a Tom Cruise fan, always have been, even though his movies have been far-reaching and different.
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:56.320
Yeah.
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.000
Always being a Tom Cruise fan.
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:03.360
Well, we grew up with Tom, so he's kind of a part of our lives in that way, as an absolutely.
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:03.600
Yeah.
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:10.240
It started off with him sliding across the floor in his white indies, you know, and uh with his sunglasses on.
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:11.360
You made the right call.
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.200
How do you know you haven't seen the other movie?
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:15.200
No, it was good point, Susie.
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:15.679
Thank you.
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:16.159
Sorry.
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:17.440
Way to bring it all.
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:18.639
Way to bring it.
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:21.360
It actually's supposed to be a good movie, too.
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.120
That the social reckoning as well, I've heard.
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:25.600
Well, I hear it's kind of like a made-for-streaming style.
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:29.919
This this was this is a cinema experience movie.
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:36.399
First off, there was so much stuff online, it was just being inundated by the this whole narrative.
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.080
First of all, a couple things.
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:42.879
One, I want to I want to give kudos to Warner Brothers for for the way they marketed it at first.
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:45.919
A really big twist in this film that they did not reveal.
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:53.440
And I'm really thankful that they found a way to sell the movie without giving away some of the plot, because they usually do that so much.
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:56.320
We we've all seen these trailers where the whole movie's in the trailer.
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:57.120
Yeah, the best part.
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:57.519
Yeah.
00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:04.799
So and they could have very well decided to go that way because they wanted to sell this and explain what this is to people.
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:06.480
They didn't do that, so I love that.
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:15.279
But the whole thing online was all about how much this movie cost to make and how much this movie stood to lose.
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:20.799
So, and it was 250 I think it cost $170 million to make and then another hundred million in marketing.
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.799
And it it's gonna lose two hundred and fifty million dollars.
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:29.519
In fact, it's gonna be one of the biggest losses in the history of Hollywood.
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:36.240
I think it's comparable to a movie that came out a few years back called, I think it was called John Carter.
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:37.360
It was for Disney.
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:50.480
And it was um uh like a science fiction action movie, and it had uh I can't remember his name now, uh, but a young, hot, up-and-coming guy in it, and they had spent everything they had and the movie just tanked.
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:58.639
So everybody's been online just obsessed with this narrative about whatever the movie don't even talk about the movie.
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:00.320
Look how much money it's losing.
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.679
And I will tell you, I went and saw it on a Wednesday afternoon.
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:09.120
Yeah, ironically enough, it was in the biggest theater in in the in the movie place I went to.
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:12.559
Yeah, and across the hall is Avengers Endgame.
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:13.440
Oh no, right?
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.960
So it's like, and everybody's going into Avengers Endgame, which has already been out.
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:21.200
I mean, once, you know, it's already but and there was three people in the movie theater.
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:23.360
Well, how many were in with us?
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:25.039
Maybe five.
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:26.399
Yeah, we were in the smaller theater.
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.960
It was there's still only about six or eight.
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:29.679
Five or six people.
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.159
And I I walk in and I'm like, ooh, this isn't good.
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:33.600
And this is like the first week.
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:38.240
Now it is a Wednesday, but still I'm like, now I love that because I got the whole theater to myself.
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:43.039
I just picked out a seat, walked around, and like I was like, oh, this is great, but not good for the movie.
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.320
No, in fact, the movie is pretty much gone from theaters.
00:11:46.480
--> 00:11:46.799
Wow.
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.440
And it's been what, four weeks, something maybe?
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:50.080
What's it?
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:51.679
Came out October 2nd.
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:54.159
So yeah, it has, I mean, this is crazy.
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:54.720
Yeah.
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.000
So it's gone.
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:04.159
It's it's like, I think it's still out there, but it's in one theater and it's got like limited showings and yeah, you so you said it was it had a budget of 170 million.
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:04.799
Something like that.
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:06.639
And then there's it's 100 million markets.
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.720
You gotta fly Tom Cruise all over the world to promote it, right?
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:12.960
So it has that ain't cheap.
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:17.039
It has up to this point made domestically 17.5 million.
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.360
Worldwide, it's made 42 million.
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:19.759
Yeah.
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:21.039
Aye, aye, aye.
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:21.919
Yeah.
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:25.440
So this is my here's here's what I'm coming at you with.
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:29.919
Does that matter to us as moviegoers watching this movie?
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:38.240
Because that was the narrative, and I kept thinking, oh, well, if I were to give in to this, I would say, oh, it's a bad movie because it's nobody's seeing it and it's bad.
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:39.120
You know what I mean?
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:39.840
That was the narrative.
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.679
This and I was thinking to myself, this is when I put my tinfoil hat on here.
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:49.039
I was thinking to myself, does the studio actually want this movie to fail?
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:50.559
Why would you think that?
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.320
The studios, I mean.
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:54.320
Other than Warner Brothers.
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:57.440
Well, and maybe even Warner Brothers, I mean, sure, they want to make their money back.
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:07.600
I'm uh, you know, that would be silly, but but do they want these Maverick directors coming back into power and having control of the studio system?
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:08.240
Interesting.
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:18.159
Or do they want to make or do they want to make more Avengers movies and more sequels and more prequels and more Disney Star Wars movies?
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:19.360
And right?
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:21.519
Do they want to go back to that?
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:45.120
This is similar to like the 70s when they had all of these Maverick directors and they were sort of running Hollywood, and then they did this movie called Heaven's Gate, and it was the most expensive movie ever made, and um it completely tanks, and that was the turning point when this the studio system started to take back over and and make call the shots and take away the power from the directors.
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:52.879
I don't like to know too much about what I'm going into because I don't want preconceived ideas, I don't want to be judging it before.
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:57.919
Totally understand that because I would have I can't say I didn't think it was a loser movie.
00:13:58.080 --> 00:13:59.919
Like I didn't Oh no, we have so much to say.
00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:03.919
I just want to leap off that for a second here and say this is not just another movie.
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:08.159
This this movie Digger is is it's it's another another level of whatever.
00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:09.840
You will either love it or hate it.
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.200
I I don't think there's many many people in between who go, oh no, it's fine.
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:14.799
It's very polarizing.
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:18.159
It's incredibly the critics are so divided on this film.
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:25.440
I mean, they they like you said, they absolutely hate it or they think it's the greatest uh movie ever made, literally.
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:29.279
The critic score for Rotten Tomatoes is 53%.
00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:34.399
And yet the popcorn meter, the people who go to it, it's up to above 70%.
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.200
So there's this really interesting divide.
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:38.799
I I'll just read a couple of these things.
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:40.080
It's gonna kind of make me laugh.
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:48.240
Like this is this was Digger is a failure because it got too smart about something people take seriously and was laughing while it did it.
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:48.639
Uh-uh.
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:56.080
Or maybe it shouldn't be surprising then that men as self-serious as Cruz and Iñorito?
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:57.120
Uh Ignorito.
00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.840
You can pronounce it many different ways.
00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:01.360
Yeah, I've heard it pronounced.
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:09.919
Cruz and Ignorito can't do comedy, but the film's cinematic sleight of hand isn't sharp enough to compensate for the dearth of decent gags.
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:12.240
Like, holy damn.
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:24.559
And yet, if you go to the audience comments right away, it's it took a few minutes to realize the premise of the movie, but ultimately this is one of those gotcha movies made for deep thinkers.
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:26.159
I loved this one.
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:31.759
Don't go into this movie with any expectations and just be just go along for the ride.
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.279
Fantastic cast and direction, really great movie.
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:36.720
Uh it is a must-see.
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:38.080
That's spot on for me.
00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:39.039
Yeah, that review.
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:40.080
That's how I felt.
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.039
I think that this is such a big swing, this movie.
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:45.919
And uh it's so hard to describe.
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.000
It's a this movie's batshit crazy.
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:49.200
It's all over the place, dude.
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:50.159
It's fucking crazy.
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.320
And and if you're listening to this right now and you haven't seen the movie, take the time.
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:59.120
It's not a three-hour epic, it's not Nolan's Odyssey, it's like two hours and nine minutes.
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:02.960
It's a totally watchable uh movie, and it's so interesting.
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:04.320
Here's the problem, though.
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.200
It's very hard for us to talk about this movie without revealing.
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:08.240
There's a twist.
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:08.480
Yeah.
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:12.720
There is a twist about half an hour in, maybe.
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:15.600
Uh, and it's it's totally game-changing.
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.240
And so we sort of discussed this.
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:26.159
We don't ever talk about the podcast before we do them, but we did discuss the fact that I I brought up that I didn't want to reveal the twist.
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:26.480
Yeah.
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:32.639
I I mean it'd be like saying, hey, you know, Bruce Willis is dead in in six cents, like right off the top, right?
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:34.080
So what?
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:35.600
Oh, like like so.
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:36.639
I would be pissed off.
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:43.919
And I'm so glad that when I went to see, like I said, thank you, Warner Brothers, for not revealing that twist because I had no idea.
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:50.159
I did, and so I'm watching this film, and all of a sudden the ground is pulled out from underneath me.
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:55.679
Yeah, and I'm like, holy shit! And it takes it in a completely different direction, this film.
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:56.240
Yeah.
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:57.279
Now you did know.
00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:57.840
I did know.
00:16:57.840 --> 00:16:59.120
Yeah, you blew it for yourself.
00:16:59.360 --> 00:16:59.919
Yeah, I did.
00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:08.559
In a sense, I happened to watch a couple of YouTube videos, and they just kind of threw it out there quite quickly and they didn't give me that kind of spoiler alert.
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:14.480
And I I'm accused of doing the same thing here on this podcast, but uh fundamentally, did it really change for me?
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:15.599
I don't think it really did.
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:19.920
Was it kind of an it would have been a neat, interesting, oh whoa, where's this going?
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:24.559
But more importantly, I walked into this going, oh, I'm taking Susie.
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:26.240
Fuck, she's gonna be pissed off at me.
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:28.559
This is gonna be another beautiful Saturday.
00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:30.240
Sunny Saturday.
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:31.839
She wants to be outside.
00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:36.960
I mean, this is a woman who has to have, she would love to have no fucking roof on her house while she sleeps at night.
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:37.759
She's rather be.
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:42.559
I mean, I'm like, set up a fucking tent out in the backyard if you want to sleep and with fresh air kind of thing.
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:44.400
So here we are.
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:46.640
We gotta take you to the drive, uh drive-out.
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:47.200
Yeah.
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:47.920
There we go.
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:48.720
Convertible.
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:49.519
Well, he won't.
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:51.359
So somebody should.
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:52.480
I and I didn't say much.
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.079
All I was saying to Susa, going, yeah, just kind of like setting her up a little bit.
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.519
Quite sure I told you to stop talking about it because I didn't want to know.
00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:02.000
I said it's a little different, you know.
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:03.200
You know, it's a little different.
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:05.200
Some people say it's weird.
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:06.000
Well, yeah.
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:11.119
I'm sitting in it and I'm expecting to hate this movie, but I start, you hear me.
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:11.680
I start laughing.
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:13.440
I'm fucking giggling through the whole movie.
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:16.480
And then sometimes I would like kind of like a belly laugh going on.
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:17.599
Do you laugh at this movie?
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:21.039
I I laughed hysterically at points, not the whole way through.
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:26.160
No, I think the movie, that's why I love the movie, is that it is a roller coaster ride of all these different emotions.
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:34.079
There's parts of the movie that I thought were kind of off-putting and weird, and yeah, I was kind of like, what the and then other parts were completely hilarious.
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:45.920
And now, if you guys have seen any of Enorito's other stuff, like like um Birdman, like, because this reminded me a little bit of Birdman, because Birdman has some some kind of you know, it was a long time ago when Birdman came out.
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:48.559
Best picture, best actor.
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:53.920
It was maybe my mind wasn't set for these things, and I'm not a cinemaphile like you.
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.559
I think I stopped halfway through Birdman.
00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:58.160
It was too this is over.
00:18:58.160 --> 00:18:59.039
We're out of here.
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:00.480
So it was so weird.
00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:03.119
Craig, you're old enough that we could watch the whole thing.
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:04.880
Yeah, maybe, yeah, maybe I'm mature enough.
00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:05.599
Yeah, okay.
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:08.960
Yeah, and and and you can explain it to him before.
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:16.480
Um then you've you've also got uh The
Revenant, which is one of my favorite films, and you know, he won Best Picture for that.
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:18.000
Yeah, so I mean that's incredible.
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:23.359
Back to back, I mean Revenant and Birdman, I mean, and best actors for both of those movies.
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:25.519
Oh wow, so he's one hell of a director.
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:31.440
I think the best way to describe this movie is that whether you hate it or you love it, it doesn't matter.
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:32.799
It's a piece of art.
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:33.200
Yeah.
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:34.480
Well, it certainly looks that way.
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:39.599
It's a piece of art, like every scene is so beautifully crafted.
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:41.680
The acting is exquisite.
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:43.519
And you know what's so interesting?
00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:49.599
People hammered Tom Cruise for coming across as arrogant, and I don't get it.
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:51.599
I thought he was utterly fantastic.
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:52.799
I haven't read any of that.
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:55.200
I I think he's a shoein' for best actor.
00:19:56.079 --> 00:20:07.680
It's literally on the comments here by the critics panning him for his his acting and overacting, or I feel like we lost Tom Cruise in the last few years.
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:10.960
Much like we I've talked about we lost James Cameron to Avatar.
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:13.839
Yeah, we've lost Tom Cruise to the Mission Impossible movies.
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:14.160
Right.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:23.599
And and while I I get that he wants to do that kind of stuff too, which which I appreciate because it gets people in the seats and gets people, it's a cinematic theater experience.
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:26.799
I'm so happy to see him back doing these kind of things.
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:28.640
Well, because he you know what we forgot?
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:29.839
He's a really good actor.
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:35.519
So I wish I knew, I wish I could remember exactly where in the movie it was.
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:41.599
But you know he's he's this big personality and he's doing his thing in the movie.
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:50.640
And then at one point he just looks straight at the camera and he has a little half smirk, his Tom Cruise look, and he connects in the camera.
00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:58.559
And I'm it's like, there's the real guy for one second and then right back, like it was little in on the joke thing.
00:20:58.559 --> 00:20:59.119
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:08.640
Without revealing the plot twist, there's uh two sides of Tom Cruise we see, and I thought both of those sides were incredibly cool.
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:11.519
I think we're used to two sides with Tom Cruise already, are we?
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.680
I don't know about you, man, but I don't he was genius.
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:16.319
I I don't know.
00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:17.759
I'm still
thinking about that movie.
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:28.559
And I just his there was a monologue about 10 minutes, and he's speaking to this EU parliament or whatever, and it was extraordinary.
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:28.960
Yeah.
00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:40.000
Well, it was all shot in one take, um, although there are cuts in it, and and it's always fun to see that you know the crowd in that monologue, they pull out their phones and they start recording them, which is so what would happen right now.
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:40.480
Oh, yeah.
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:45.279
But that monologue, I think, will go down as one of the greatest scenes in i in movie history.
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:45.839
I'm not kidding.
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:49.920
Yeah, it is it is how can you not get an Oscar on for that monologue?
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:53.599
And I'm sitting there going, he's talking to me right now.
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:53.839
Yeah.
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:54.079
Yeah.
00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:56.000
Like that's me he's talking to.
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:57.920
Like why is everybody so sweaty?
00:21:58.400 --> 00:21:59.359
Oh, that was a theme though.
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:01.920
With okay, are we gonna reveal it?
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:03.279
No, I don't think we're gonna reveal it.
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:04.880
It's it's a movie about the environment.
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:07.200
Oh yeah, we should tell people what the movie's about.
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:07.839
Yeah, yeah.
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:10.000
It's about uh an oil digger.
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:13.680
Yeah, and Digger Rockwell is a billionaire tycoon.
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:22.400
Yeah, and he is this classic bombastic rich dude who is so eccentric, very eccentric.
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:36.319
He the world revolves around him, and if the narrative around the world doesn't fit his narrative, he just changes the narrative to fit his world, and everyone, like even his cat that's like on the verge of dead or is dead, yeah.
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:43.039
Um he he's just brings in the best of the best, keeps this disgusting thing alive.
00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:48.480
And the cat just wants the cat's just looking at it in the camera, going, kill me, just let me die.
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:49.920
Let me let me die.
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:54.640
And uh, but no, but this is that bombastic nature of this this guy.
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:59.200
He's he's grander than life, but and he's surrounded by very powerful people.
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:03.039
John Goodman, who plays the president of the United States, who also, oh my god, express.
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:06.880
Yeah, so Rizimed and oh my god, great cast.
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:11.759
Ultimately, uh the story is about, and this is how the movie starts, right?
00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:16.160
You got these methane bubbles just kind of coming up from the ocean floor.
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:27.519
The sound is this kind of sonic dissonance, and it's off-putting but alluring and captivating, and you can't quite tell if it's real footage or animated in some way.
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:29.039
It's all it's really, really cool.
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:47.200
Yeah, and then that leads into the whole story about how methane is releasing from the ocean floor and it's causing damage to his oil rigs, and then releases a uh a size of a calving of an iceberg so large that it will basically destroy the world.
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:55.119
There's an absurdity about all of this, but that's you'll see if you watch the movie why it's so absurd without again again giving it away.
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:58.559
And the whole stories around how do you solve this problem?
00:23:58.559 --> 00:24:24.240
I don't think we're revealing too much when we say ultimately we go back to that 10-minute monologue is really cool because one of the reasons why I think I was bothered by that potentially bothered by about this movie, that it was going to be one of those preachy fucking movies that's gonna speak down on you in a self-righteous, smug kind of way, and it wasn't that at all.
00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:26.240
He's not smug, Alejandro.
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:28.720
No, none of his movies are Tom Cruise.
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:32.319
Funny when you listen to the comments, people just kind of like bothered by this.
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:35.839
But I kind of wonder, because Shawn, this is the question I had for you and Susie.
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:42.079
What did you think of the message around uh Tom Cruise's monologue?
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:47.599
So just to set the stage for people listening, okay, and again, I'm not gonna give away a lot, but this is something that I think you should know.
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:55.359
He's about to do a speech and he's surrounded by hundreds of uh EU members of the EU parliament.
00:24:55.359 --> 00:25:00.960
And he uh says, Yeah, I am responsible for all of this.
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:02.079
This is my fault.
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:03.359
He takes ownership.
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:21.279
But then instead of going, yeah, he's the classic kind of stereotypical tropey, you know, white man, oil baron who uh takes on no responsibility, he then flips the conversation and he basically says, Yeah, but you're all at fault too.
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:22.880
Like, I'm digging the oil.
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:24.079
You want me to dig the oil?
00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:25.920
You want, you want the oil too.
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:29.759
You all drove, you know, here in your cars.
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:32.880
And so that's what made it so kind of enjoyable.
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:34.000
What do you think?
00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:35.039
Asked and answered.
00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:37.119
You just asked the question and then answered it all.
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:37.759
Shit.
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:40.160
So so I I I agree.
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:41.200
I agree exactly.
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:48.559
I
I sat there in the theater and went, he's talking about me because I'm not willing to to I'm I'm a slave.
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:50.559
I think that's one of the lines, isn't it?
00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:51.359
Something like that.
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:55.119
But I'm a slave to all of the stuff that makes my life, I think, better.
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:55.920
Yeah, right?
00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:59.519
I like to have heat in my apartment and gas in my car.
00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:02.480
And so am I willing to not do any?
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:06.720
I do look, I'm sure we all do little things like Susie washes out plastic bags.
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:07.200
Yes.
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:08.240
So good for you.
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:09.599
Plastic bag fairy.
00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:11.279
Yes, the plastic bag fairy.
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:12.240
So good for you.
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:14.400
But but you're dad, you're right.
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:15.599
That was the message.
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:28.319
And and it it was delivered in such an effective way that it struck me sitting there that I was like, oh my God, this is the first, actually, I'm kind of ashamed to admit this, but it's kind of the first time I ever thought about it like that.
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:31.839
I mean, I think sub subconsciously I probably knew that all along.
00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:39.359
But it when it was was delivered to me by Tom Cruise And then and when Danger Zone was playing in the background.
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:41.039
I mean, it's true.
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:58.400
Like when you I don't know, you hear about all these um activists in the world and they're and you're you're always kind of like, oh, I should be doing, I could do more, I could do more, but no, but you're like Yeah, you gotta raise your kids, you gotta go to work, you gotta do your thing, man.
00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:02.400
You still have to get up every day and go to work, and you wanna, you know, you wanna drive there.
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:04.559
You wanna go camping in your your trailer.
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:05.440
That's right, man.
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:08.400
You wanna have your coffee imported from wherever.
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:11.359
But you wash the plastic bags, man, the Ziploc bags.
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:12.720
There's the payoff, right?
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:15.680
It's like it's like buying those environmental credits, you know.
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:16.720
You're you're doing your bit.
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:17.759
I'm doing my bit too.
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:18.799
I what do you do?
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:20.319
Um, what do you do, Craig?
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:21.279
I recycle.
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:23.359
Um, I take out the trash.
00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:23.920
Do you?
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:24.400
Yeah.
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:26.400
We do we do our bit.
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:33.839
You know what I thought was funny was that like they had to put prosthetics on Tom Cruise to make him look like a 64-year-old man.
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:35.599
Yeah, you know how old Tom Cruise is?
00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:36.640
64.
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:42.720
Yeah, it took it was six hours to put the prosthetics on, and Tom goes, you got to do it in an hour.
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:47.279
So can you, because he doesn't have time because he's Tom Cruise to go in and do six hours.
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:55.599
So can you imagine they would have 10 people practicing uh like on somebody before Tom got there to make sure they could get it down to an hour?
00:27:55.599 --> 00:28:03.519
It's like a pit crew, yeah, and and like only Tom Cruise would like because he's such a busy person, would be like, No, you gotta do it in an hour.
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:04.400
But it takes six hours.
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:05.359
I need it in an hour.
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:07.279
Yeah, and I'm Tom Cruise, so you're gonna do it.
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:09.279
If you can't do it, then we're not gonna do this.
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:12.079
Like so, isn't that I just thought that was funny?
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:13.839
We gotta make this guy look his age.
00:28:13.839 --> 00:28:15.359
We're gonna need a lot of prosthetics.
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:16.720
Yeah, he looked good.
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:23.119
I I actually thought the the the prosthetics people, whatever they're called, the I'm sure there's a category for it.
00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:28.160
Yeah, it's called makeup, makeup makeup, Oscar, maybe we'll see.
00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:30.000
They did set design Oscar.
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:31.279
I mean, that's 10 out of 10.
00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:34.160
I mean, that like you said, visually, this film is on another level.
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:54.160
Oh, and like the and the the costumes, the clothes, like his outfits, just it's sort of like Poor Things uh meets Mickey 17 meets like here, like this year, Warner Brothers has put out uh weapons, uh One Battle After Another, uh Mickey 17 and this film.
00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:54.960
And you know what?
00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:56.319
They're not all masterpieces.
00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:04.480
I know we've talked about a lot of those movies, but good for them for swinging at this, these kind of films and putting these kind of films out.
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:12.240
Because we talked all last year about the fact the state of the movie industry and all the sequels and the all that shit we're talking about.
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:14.160
And now we're here.
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:16.799
And yes, this movie didn't do well financially.
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:22.720
It's gonna be talked about for years as one of the biggest flops, but I hope that it gets its praise like.
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:28.160
So I wonder does the biggest flop win win an Oscar for a lead actor?
00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:31.759
I I I don't know what else is he's gonna be up against, right?
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:41.359
I just want to go back
to this idea of movies that have flopped in the movie theater, but you know, what gone on to be.
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:54.400
But gone because of VHS, because of DVD and now Blu-ray, these movies became cult classics and incredibly popular, and people went and bought out, you know, millions of these discs or you know, tapes.
00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:57.200
Yeah, there's the streaming model now.
00:29:57.200 --> 00:30:04.640
I don't know if it makes I don't know if that would lead to the same hype creation as a result.
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:07.920
Because you know how on YouTube you see the number of accounts of views?
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:11.599
You don't see that when you're going to Apple TV or other services.
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:14.480
You don't you don't see if this thing is actually doing well.
00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:20.480
All you know is if it's in the top 10 list and and or you know, having conversations around the movie at work.
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:28.720
But other than that, you know, whereas they would go, oh, this deep this has this movie has sold millions on the but why did it not do well in the movie theaters?
00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:30.319
I think this is one of those movies.
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:34.319
Part of the problem is even the trailer couldn't reveal too much.
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:36.799
If it did, it would give away the plot twist.
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:39.279
So they were in this already awkward moment.
00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:40.960
It'll be like a cult follow-up.
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:46.559
But did you see the the uh requisite trailer they put out after the reviews?
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:54.160
No, they had uh they made up a trailer of Tom Cruise reacting from the movie, Digger, of all the bad reviews.
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:57.279
And so it would be like this movie is whatever, whatever.
00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:04.559
And and so then they show a clip of him from the movie going, it doesn't matter what the people think you know or what the critics think, because these are lines from the movie.
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:05.039
Yeah, yeah.
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:08.000
And so they inserted it all as his character responding.
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:09.599
Oh, interesting, and it was brilliant.
00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:14.240
So, like once again, I'm I'm giving crude kudos to the to Warner Brothers for for doing that.
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:17.759
Well, and and I don't think there was a bad actor on set.
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:19.440
I mean, first of all, John Goodman.
00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:20.960
Always, always so funny, yeah.
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:23.119
Fucking he was brilliant, he's lost a lot of weight.
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:26.000
Some of his facial expressions in this film, they're genius.
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:29.920
And you have Ahmed uh Riz Ahmed is so good in this film.
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:31.920
He should get a best supporting nomination.
00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:33.119
I think so.
00:31:33.119 -->
00:31:50.319
His whole character, he is like basically the scientist, the environmental scientist, and who is under this enormous pressure from this bombastic individual of a man of Digger, and but eventually he has this coming out party kind of calling him out beautiful, beautiful moment.
00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:51.200
Good scene.
00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:53.759
And then I Sandra Mueller.
00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:54.720
Oh, Hewler.
00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:56.000
Yeah, Hewler.
00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:08.160
Yeah, Hewler, Hewler, another great movie, but she again just has a nose for great movies, and she had a nose job done, actually, after her last film.
00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:08.720
So there you go.
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:09.839
So you just made that.
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:10.400
Yeah, okay.
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:12.240
But I can never tell with you.
00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:12.640
Yeah.
00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:15.599
Most people get nose jobs in Hollywood.
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:16.880
Uh Jesse Plummins.
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:17.279
Yeah.
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:21.200
Another I'm a And these people are all very limited in the film.
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:22.799
It's really all Tom Cruise.
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:23.920
I think he's in every scene.
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:24.240
Yeah.
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:28.480
And then these people all are very small little roles, but they add a lot to it.
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:28.799
Yeah.
00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:29.279
Right?
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:34.400
So we've we've given away the 10-minute monologue detail.
00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:40.960
Um, there are a lot of other we haven't we've given it away, but we until you've seen it, yeah, you won't believe it.
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:42.319
So you that's what I mean.
00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:44.160
We can't, it it won't blow anything for you.
00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:47.119
No, we haven't really And it's so worth going to.
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:48.720
I want to go to see it again.
00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:51.599
Like I said, it's nice to see Tom back in a dramatic role.
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:58.720
And then I started thinking, like, okay, what are Tom's like five best roles in my in like just thinking about it?
00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:00.240
And I came up with a few ideas.
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:00.480
Okay.
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:01.759
And I was like, okay.
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:06.079
So I'm gonna say I love Tom Cruise and Collateral.
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:08.079
Okay, so these are five things.
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:09.039
Do you remember collateral?
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:11.039
That's another that'd be another great Blu-ray DVD.
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:12.559
That's incredible with Michael Mann.
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:15.359
Where he plays the hitman with Jamie Foxx, okay.
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:17.359
He's driving around LA in the back of a cab.
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:18.960
Incredible.
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:25.519
And I probably put Jerry Maguire on that list because that was a comedic and a dramatic performance.
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:28.000
He did get a nomination for that, by the way, for best actor.
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:28.480
That's right.
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:32.799
And then I would put um I would put Magnolia on that list.
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:34.799
He's so good in Magnolia.
00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:40.319
And then I'd probably put Digger on this list, and I would put still my number one.
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:42.160
I would go back is Born on the Fourth of July.
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:43.839
He was so good as Ron Kovic.
00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:44.640
Yeah, he was talking about it.
00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:47.359
And that's not top gun for that.
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:49.519
Top gun is back to uh acting?
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:49.920
No.
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:51.279
Great movie.
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:52.400
I mean, for our childhood.
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:54.480
Top gun for just watching.
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:54.720
Yeah.
00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:56.079
It's just looking at him.
00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:56.480
Yeah.
00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:57.279
He looked great.
00:33:57.440 --> 00:33:57.599
Yeah.
00:33:57.599 --> 00:33:58.960
I know the dramatic role.
00:33:58.960 --> 00:33:59.359
I don't know.
00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:00.880
Just talking, just look.
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:10.800
But it but it was it was nice to to to be back in that realm again and you know, not see him hang off the side of a plane or something like that, you know.
00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:16.239
And just get that one little wink of him, of all good old Tom Cruise, too.
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:21.920
It's just like, oh, he's there, and then oh and don't worry, he'll be back, you know, yes, running from an explosion in no time here.
00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:22.800
I'm sure his next film.
00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:25.360
Well, I don't yeah, this guy doesn't seem like he's gonna retire anytime.
00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:26.400
Oh, God, no.
00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:27.119
Getting me?
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:30.719
I I I I think fundamental will be dead before Tom Cruise retires.
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:32.800
And he'll die on set somewhere.
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:35.440
He will die doing what he loves doing.
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:39.519
Wouldn't it be funny if he died on Digger and didn't die on Mission Impossible?
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:40.480
Right?
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:49.440
He fell down a set of stairs or something, and he didn't die from an explosion on an airplane or uh falling out of a cliff or jumping off a train over a yeah.
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:52.800
This movie did feel like it was a satire of satire.
00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:56.159
It's like Doctor Strangel, a little bit, kind of meets something else.
00:34:56.239 --> 00:35:04.239
Yeah, you know it was like poking fun of people poking fun or satirizing the people who satirize or are cynical.
00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:09.679
And this is where I do wonder the these these critics
who were really quite hard on this movie.
00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:12.800
My take is this, and I I I don't know if it's true.
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:14.559
I'm kinda curious to what you think.
00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:30.079
It seemed to me that the narrative was fundamentally we're all responsible and that we can't just easily because in our world today it's so polarized, it's so easy to go, you're at fault.
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:38.559
You this this person or this group that they're responsible and then and we're not gonna take any responsibility or culpability.
00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:40.400
Yeah, everybody wants to play at the blame game.
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:54.719
Yeah, and what I liked about this movie, it kind of went, no, pulled back the curtain and went, nah, we're all in this together, and if we're gonna find solutions, we actually have to work together with this instead of just pointing fingers and blaming.
00:35:54.719 --> 00:36:00.559
And and I wondered if that's where you get some of these uh individuals who found it, you know.
00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:07.519
I I still can't get over the critics not liking this film because this film is brilliant.
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:09.840
Yeah, I mean, it it's put together so well.
00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:12.000
Yeah, so why why would half of the rotten?
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:17.039
That's why my my tinfoil hat comes on, like like the fix is in or something.
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:24.000
No, it's it's like because I think it breaks that narrative of the rich dudes are are at fault.
00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:27.039
And somebody's got to be at blame, and it's not us.
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:27.760
Yeah, it's not us.
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:36.960
That the mirrors that Innerito is putting this mirror up, and then and that's causing others to go, oh, oh, uh, and make them uncomfortable.
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:38.079
I it's the only thing I can think about.
00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:39.920
That's the key, Craig.
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:44.079
I would say to anybody, is that this film made me uncomfortable.
00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:46.000
And I loved it.
00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:52.960
I enjoyed the ride, but there was something deeply in the pit of my stomach made me uncomfortable while I was watching it.
00:36:52.960 --> 00:37:08.639
I think that that art I mean, this is gonna sound so pretentious, but I think art like questions everything and that you believe and it pushes against everything and it makes you feel kind of uncomfortable, but also happy and also sad and also, you know.
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:14.800
So uh I think that's that's what cinematic experiences are supposed to be about.
00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:21.119
Now, having said that, it's great to just go watch something you can just laugh at, not turn that off once in a while.
00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:22.320
But can't you have it all?
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:24.159
Can't you have all of that coming?
00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:25.599
This one seemed to have it
all.
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:28.320
Oh, I think I might be buying this on Blu-ray, there's no doubt.
00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:28.880
Oh, yeah.
00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:30.320
I think you're gonna buy everything.
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:32.000
I I think that you've got a problem.
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:32.719
Oh yeah.
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:37.360
And I didn't fall asleep in this movie, so that's there's the Susie thumbs up.
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:38.239
There's the stamp of approval.
00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:39.760
That's it.
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:41.360
Susie did that's what the critics said.
00:37:41.360 --> 00:37:43.199
Susie didn't fall asleep in this film.
00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:44.239
The Susie meter.
00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:44.559
Yeah.
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:44.880
Yeah.
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:45.440
I like that.
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:48.639
I've been awake for quite a couple, maybe a couple years now.
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:51.280
We're all very proud of you.
00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:51.840
I know.
00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:53.280
I am mostly proud too.
00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:55.119
Yeah, you're like normally a narcoleptic.
00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:58.639
Don't worry, we'll find you some movies to fall asleep in coming up.
00:37:58.800 --> 00:37:59.119
Yeah.
00:37:59.360 --> 00:37:59.679
Yeah.
00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:08.320
And like I said, Digger uh being this artistic important movie, but doesn't mean I'm not excited about movies like Miami Vice, 1985.
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:10.000
I just saw the the shoot.
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:12.480
Oh my god, I saw Austin Butler in the outfit.
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:14.159
And man, does he look good?
00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:18.960
He's in the he's in the white blazer with the with the baby blue shirt underneath.
00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:21.199
And the it's got full Don Johnson.
00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:22.800
It's looks so good.
00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:25.119
Well, I think we've covered the main bits.
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:30.400
We can only go so far considering that if we say anything more, we'll kind of reveal the big plot twist.
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:35.760
It's a tough, tough one to talk about, even though we did choose to talk about it, but it's tricky.
00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:39.679
And this is one of those movies that I feel like I wanted to promote out there.
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:44.960
If you haven't seen it, um it's important, I think, that everybody, I mean, sees this, and I hate to say that too.
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:46.159
I mean, it feels kind of cheap.
00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:46.480
Yeah.
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:48.079
But but I'm like, you gotta see this movie.
00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:50.639
We're not getting any revenue out of this thing at all, obviously.
00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:52.239
And once and neither are they.
00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:58.719
But if you go, the it'll help you know cut their losses a little a little less.
00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:01.280
I'm gonna see it 800 times before.
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:06.000
Um, but it's an honestly, all kidding aside, this is it's important.
00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:07.360
This film is important.
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:14.239
I don't think there's another actor out in this in the world that could do what Tom Cruise just did in that movie.
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:14.719
I do.
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:15.280
I think so.
00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:15.760
Really?
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:16.159
Yeah.
00:39:16.159 --> 00:39:17.280
Well, Daniel Day Lewis.
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:18.320
No, it's Daniel Day Lewis.
00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:19.119
He could do it.
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:19.679
Yeah.
00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:20.719
Okay.
00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:22.159
Well the fuck do I know then?
00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:23.599
Well, I'm just giving my opinion.
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:26.800
Yeah, no, okay, I definitely that's what this show is about opinion.
00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:30.159
I mean, Tom did it really, really well.
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:31.039
No, I love Tom.
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:33.920
I I I couldn't picture anybody else doing it after seeing him do it.
00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:34.239
You're right.
00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:35.199
Yeah, it's hard to get it.
00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:40.239
But I could see that they probably had, you know, I mean, I think he wrote this with obviously with Tom in mind.
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:42.159
That's what I've heard that he came to Tom.
00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:47.519
Oh no, the story is that Tom wrote his motorbike from San Diego to LA.
00:39:47.519 --> 00:39:55.599
He was shooting Maverick, this Top Gun movie, and he drove his bike to go and talk to Alejandro about this film.
00:39:55.599 --> 00:39:57.760
And Alejandro was writing it for him.
00:39:57.760 --> 00:39:58.800
So there you go.
00:39:58.800 --> 00:39:59.599
It was meant for him.
00:39:59.760 --> 00:39:59.840
Right.
00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:02.800
Speaking of Maverick, there's gonna be a part of the Top Gun.
00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:03.360
Of course there is.
00:40:03.360 --> 00:40:03.679
Yeah.
00:40:03.679 --> 00:40:06.880
You have the biggest gross, one of the biggest grossing movies of all time, right?
00:40:06.880 --> 00:40:07.599
The second one.
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:10.719
So there's no way the studio is not gonna let that happen.
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:11.039
Yeah.
00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:16.000
And you've seen the Days of Thunder sequel that's on the shelves coming coming to us now.
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:18.400
So gonna be lots of lots of that stuff.
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:20.719
So it's nice to have Tom doing Digger.
00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:33.039
Shawn, I I think a good way to kind of finish this off is talking about Catherine Holmes.
00:40:33.039 --> 00:40:36.880
I mean, we've been talking about Digger Rockwell, who is this fictitious character of this.
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:39.360
It's Elizabeth Holmes, but thanks for playing.
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:43.599
Catherine Holmes is uh a porn star, I think.
00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:50.480
We're talking about um Digger, and and we, I think, I hope, gets nominated for Best Picture.
00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:53.920
Uh, and certainly Tom Cruise will be nominated for best actor, I hope.
00:40:53.920 --> 00:40:54.880
And he may even win it.
00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:58.480
We don't know who he's gonna be up against at this point, so we'll leave that open.
00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:14.239
But I think there's gonna be big change at the Oscars this year because I think that a documentary may, for the first time, be put in the best picture category, not the best documentary category.
00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:25.840
They do, but it's a possibility that this movie is so big, and it this, of course, is the Elizabeth Holmes movie, um, and it's called Everything You Can See.
00:41:26.400 --> 00:41:30.960
And uh And you forwarded this uh I did forward this to you a few weeks ago.
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:33.840
Of the part of the documentary, I'm assuming.
00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:36.159
Yeah, and it's Nathan Fielder who's you didn't watch it?
00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:36.480
What?
00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:38.400
No, I haven't seen this on the theater soon.
00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:39.679
Oh, I mean you didn't watch the clip, did you?
00:41:39.679 --> 00:41:40.239
No, I did.
00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:40.800
Oh, you didn't.
00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:41.599
I had to tell him.
00:41:41.840 --> 00:41:45.840
It's listen, I had to tell him I sent it to the let's get into the Instagram account.
00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:48.239
We have this Instagram account.
00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:51.920
I've been sending something every day for the last 82 days.
00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:53.039
I have no response.
00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:56.559
This should also be admin on the Instagram account with you.
00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:57.760
Yeah, like you care.
00:41:58.239 --> 00:41:59.199
Anyways, he had no idea.
00:41:59.199 --> 00:42:05.119
I sent it to the Instagram account, and um, he finally saw it after I told him I sent it to the Instagram account.
00:42:05.119 --> 00:42:07.440
But, long story short, we'll cut that.
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:08.880
I never look at it.
00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:09.360
I'm sorry.
00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:10.960
I'm terrible with social media.
00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:13.039
So Nathan Fielder is a comedian.
00:42:13.039 --> 00:42:18.400
He's done a lot of just out there stuff, and and he's a sketch comedian, and he's he's quite brilliant.
00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:29.039
But nobody knew that he was shooting, nobody in the industry knew he was shooting this documentary where he basically lived with Elizabeth Holmes 14 days before she's going to jail.
00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:34.719
It is this documentary is all centered around him in the house with her, and I guess her husband's in it.
00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:38.559
And this movie is blowing people's freaking minds.
00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:41.360
And it's, first of all, it's three hours long, so it is a commitment.
00:42:41.360 --> 00:42:46.800
You're going to see a three-hour documentary in the theater, but everybody's coming out of this going, What did I just see?
00:42:46.800 --> 00:42:50.079
Like, much like like Digger, like we're talking about with Digger.
00:42:50.079 --> 00:42:53.679
And and so this is another movie that people are mind-bending.
00:42:53.679 --> 00:43:00.639
But but I love the fact that it um premiered at like Telluride or Sundance or somewhere, and nobody had a clue what the movie was.
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:01.679
They're like, What is this?
00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:02.559
Is it comedy?
00:43:02.559 --> 00:43:03.840
Oh, did he put out a comedy?
00:43:03.840 --> 00:43:09.440
Is it and then they realize, holy shit, this is the Elizabeth Catherine Holmes story.
00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:09.920
Yeah.
00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:15.360
Who's Catherine Holmes?
00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:16.639
Um, porno.
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:19.920
It's a porno story.
00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:20.880
I'm in.
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:26.079
Um not gonna look at cowboy boots the same way.
00:43:26.079 --> 00:43:29.599
Oh, and they had the popcorn, the popcorn cowboy boot.
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:29.920
I see.
00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:31.920
Which they have now for everything, you notice.
00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:35.840
Yes, every movie has some sort of popcorn vessel.
00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:40.480
My favorite Tom Cruise moment was when he comes out of that.
00:43:40.480 --> 00:43:42.960
We were talking about that the monologue that he has.
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:44.719
He goes into that room.
00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:45.280
Yeah.
00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:47.679
And he does fires the fucking cowboy.
00:43:48.480 --> 00:43:50.159
Bite me! Bite me!
00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:52.960
It's I think it's in the trailer.
00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:54.239
Uh it's so good.
00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:55.679
Just classic Tom Cruise.
00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:59.840
And then he comes in, and the other guy is super drunk, been just a bad idea.
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:01.360
And that's drunk.
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:03.760
That's why I think he should be nominated.
00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:03.920
Yeah.
00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:11.840
Because that drunk scene where he's giving Tom shit about fucking his responsibility and all of this is so great.
00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:12.559
So good.
00:44:12.559 --> 00:44:13.119
Love it.
00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:14.079
So good.
00:44:14.559 --> 00:44:15.519
All right, Shawn.
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:16.639
And Susie.
00:44:16.639 --> 00:44:16.960
Yep.
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:17.519
Good to see you.
00:44:18.239 --> 00:44:19.199
Yeah, I'm here too, Craig.
00:44:19.199 --> 00:44:20.000
Don't forget about me.
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:21.039
It's not just your show.
00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:23.760
He couldn't see you behind the puppet show theater over.
00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:25.679
Susie, I see you every day.
00:44:26.159 --> 00:44:27.519
You're just disappearing.
00:44:27.679 -->
00:44:27.840
Yeah.
00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:28.639
No, no, no.
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:30.159
And so that's it.
00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:36.320
And very excited to um get into our next week's topic, which Craig is planning as we speak right now.
00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:37.679
What is that topic, Craig?
00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:38.880
Ancient history.
00:44:39.760 --> 00:44:40.079
Okay.
00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:41.119
That's that's vague.
00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:41.920
Riveting.
00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:44.000
It's a four-part series of ancient history.
00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:45.119
Ancient history.
00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:46.639
That covers a lot.
00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:47.519
That's right.
00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:51.280
Focus on all the different philosophers of ancient history.
00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:52.079
Well, we kind of.
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:53.039
I did that already.
00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:55.519
Shawn, we're gonna sit in the back of the room for this one.
00:44:55.920 --> 00:44:57.440
I'm not I'm gonna be sick for that one.
00:44:57.440 --> 00:45:00.320
Say it.
00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:04.800
I'm like, I'm I coming up with nothing especially for this one.
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:06.639
And then you feel stupid.
00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:09.199
And you know, and so Craig, you carried this one for sure.
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:09.920
This was yours.
00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:11.599
Yeah, I mean you need a 20-minute monologue.
00:45:11.599 --> 00:45:15.280
Your monologue was was better than Tom Cruise's monologue in that last one.
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:16.320
You're too kind.
00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:17.199
I'm not sure it was better.
00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:17.760
I didn't even know.
00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:18.960
You're right, it wasn't better.
00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:20.000
Did I talk that much?
00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:22.320
It was actually not better, but it was long, it was as long.
00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:23.599
I you shouldn't meet it.
00:45:23.679 --> 00:45:23.840
Yeah.
00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:25.519
You you you know, you carried the ball.
00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:27.840
No, I I I sometimes black out when I talk.
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:29.760
It's probably what the students see when they see me tease.
00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:31.360
Is that why we have to pick him up off the floor?
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:32.480
Yeah, yeah.
00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:33.519
Sometimes.
00:45:33.519 --> 00:45:42.320
No, I mean, it it you definitely had a perspective um on this one, and you you, you know, you brought your your knowledge to it.
00:45:42.320 --> 00:45:44.800
I I kind of threw a blank on this one.
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:49.280
I tried to um I was gonna try to review today, but to take it.
00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:50.480
Because you don't give a shit.
00:45:50.639 --> 00:45:51.599
Well, I do give a shit.
00:45:51.760 --> 00:45:52.400
No, you don't.
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:53.360
That this is what we do.
00:45:53.360 --> 00:45:55.920
We have on your tag is you just don't want to be
here.
00:45:56.480 --> 00:45:57.039
Oh my god.
00:45:57.360 --> 00:45:57.519
Okay.
00:45:57.519 --> 00:45:58.559
Wait a minute.
00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:00.000
If I didn't want to be here, I wouldn't.
00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:00.880
You wouldn't be here.
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:02.159
I think it's fucking funny.
00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:08.719
No, but um, I'm also in between the cinephile and the historian.
00:46:08.719 --> 00:46:10.000
And that's too far away.
00:46:10.239 --> 00:46:13.119
You can just say between the asshole and the other asshole.
00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:17.920
I am not the fucking sh what is it called?
00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:18.639
Choda.
00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:19.679
Whoa.
00:46:19.679 --> 00:46:21.199
Wow.
00:46:21.199 --> 00:46:23.119
Damn.
00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:28.079
If you feel like you're the choda in this relationship, okay, I'm speechless.
00:46:28.079 --> 00:46:28.639
That's funny.
00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:30.159
You know what I think we should do?
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:32.639
I think we should have those You're not putting that out, by the way.
00:46:32.639 --> 00:46:38.559
We should have those have those styrofoam bats, and then you can just hit Craig whenever he's talking too much.
00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:46.880
Um, you know, Craig was going on talking about about Digger, and I just thought, I'm not gonna get to say anything during this podcast.
00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:47.760
Oh, I'm sorry, sorry.
00:46:47.760 --> 00:46:52.239
I can't even I I but you're lucky because I had nothing to say.
00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:54.159
Well, you can't say it without ruining it.
00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:54.559
That's it.
00:46:54.559 --> 00:46:55.119
Well, you know what?
00:46:55.199 --> 00:46:55.679
I was surprised.
00:46:55.679 --> 00:46:58.719
I'm surprised you didn't go on, you know, talk about Tom Cruise and his things.
00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:00.960
You just Well, I mean, I did.
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:03.519
Uh you blacked out while I was talking about it.
00:47:03.519 --> 00:47:07.519
I did mention five performances that you guys said nothing about, by the way.
00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:10.320
You just went like no feedback on any of those.
00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:11.679
You're like, uh-huh.
00:47:11.679 --> 00:47:12.639
Uh-huh.
00:47:12.639 --> 00:47:13.840
Yes, that was a movie.
00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:16.960
I feel like you always say that for you.
00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:19.599
I was so that was to engage a conversation.
00:47:19.599 --> 00:47:25.760
I said the top five Tom my top five Tom Cruise performances, and I expected that could have been 30 minutes.
00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:29.679
I thought I was gonna get pushback or I was gonna get, no, you're right.
00:47:29.679 --> 00:47:31.039
You remember this or that?
00:47:31.039 --> 00:47:31.679
Nothing.
00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:32.880
Fucking nothing, dude.
00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:36.000
Craig's thinking about his next fucking monologue over there.
00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:36.559
You know?
00:47:36.559 --> 00:47:42.480
He's like, geez, maybe I could talk about the social relevance of the uh environmental uh thing.
00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:48.000
Like, and I'm like, dude, hey, shut off the machine for a second and engage.
00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:48.960
I'm sorry.
00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:50.639
You know, this is an engaging thing.
00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:56.559
We're supposed to be engaging and talking and like we're it's not all facts and figures, okay?
00:47:56.880 --> 00:47:59.119
Well, you reference movies that I hadn't seen in a long time.
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:00.400
You've never seen Jerry McGuire.
00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:02.559
Your one no no no, I've seen the other one.
00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:03.519
Your one.
00:48:03.519 --> 00:48:08.639
Show me the money! Your one contributor was not Top Gun.
00:48:08.639 --> 00:48:13.519
That was that was what you contributed today, okay?
00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:15.119
I'll do better.
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:17.599
Here I am thinking, oh, this is great.
00:48:17.599 --> 00:48:20.400
I'll do the my I'll do my top five, Shawn's list.
00:48:20.400 --> 00:48:23.519
It'll be a new segment for the third season of the fucking podcast.
00:48:23.519 --> 00:48:24.320
Shawn's top list.
00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:25.280
I'll have top five.
00:48:25.280 --> 00:48:29.920
And Craig will write some really cool music around it, and it'll engage this conversation.
00:48:29.920 --> 00:48:30.559
Nothing.
00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:31.199
Zero.
00:48:31.199 --> 00:48:32.000
Susie's?
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:34.000
Yeah, you too.
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:35.280

Me too, what?
00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:36.800
Me too what?
00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:37.519
No, not hashtag.
00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:41.119
I think you guys are just like, uh when is this gonna end?
00:48:41.119 --> 00:48:41.840
You know?
00:48:41.840 --> 00:48:45.599
Well, I'll explain to you all about Tom Cruise's movies.
00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:49.440
I love that you think he's a great actor, but you haven't seen anything he's done.
00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:51.039
So wonderful.
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:59.039
Craig started the whole podcast off about talking about how big a Tom Cruise fan he is and how great Tom Cruise is.
00:48:59.039 --> 00:49:02.079
Never seen any of his work, but thinks he's fantastic.
00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:02.880
Top Gun.
00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:04.320
Seen Top Gun 28 times.
00:49:04.320 --> 00:49:05.039
That's right.
00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:06.079
That's it.
00:49:06.719 --> 00:49:07.440
All right, dude.
00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:08.400
It was good to see you.
00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:11.519
Um I I don't feel like you meant that.
00:49:11.519 --> 00:49:14.800
That was an automatic response.
00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:19.119
Typical closing of the talk show.
00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:21.599
Hey, dude, it was good to see you.
00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:35.840
Hey, move your pants again.
