little heavy, one's a little sleek, and one's just con between.

That's a lot of hits into.

00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.560
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages.
12
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.680
You are listening to a rat Aligion broadcasting premiere podcast
13
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.760
triple feature and joining me tonight from the halftime show
14
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:36.920
where he performed ball with the BA Ladies and gentlemen. Robert,
15
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.400
he once wants to be a cowboy. Baby he's cocky,
16
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.959
but it ain't bragging if you back it up. Robert
17
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:50.480
the American badass, winfree.
18
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:52.519
Ow, he is raight.
19
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:55.359
Win free.
20
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:58.400
So does that make you my Joe?
21
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:00.480
See, I am sure than you.
22
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.479
Did not expect you to hit me with kid rock.
23
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:09.840
That was.
24
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.159
I wanted I wanted to open this up, Oh good,
25
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.240
I won my bet. I wanted to open this up
26
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:21.759
with uh he does not ball with the ball, but
27
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:26.199
he does Danga Dang diggy. But I thought there's a
28
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:32.479
good chance because I've gotten I can't. I can't. I
29
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:38.759
can't assume Robert Aloisius Winfrey that you know the culture.
30
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.599
You know a lot of things. You know. You know
31
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.680
how many fibers are intertwined in a shredded wheat biscuit.
32
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.199
You know how many times the batmobile caught a flat.
33
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:57.120
Canonically, But you may or may not know Ball with
34
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.719
the Ball from Kid Rock, and you might know what
35
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:02.080
I was having a stroke.
36
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:05.840
For the record, Yes, I know that song, Oh good.
37
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.840
If for no other reason then because it's in a
38
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.759
Simpsons episode where Homer and the family go down to
39
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:16.280
Florida in an attempt to relax Homer after he becomes
40
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.680
stressed and paranoid, only to be in the middle of
41
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:20.479
spring break, and one of the concerts they have there
42
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:21.960
is kid Rock performing that song.
43
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.080
So this so my birthday weekend, like the weekend prior
44
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.680
to my birthday, My birthday is June second this year, well,
45
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.039
my birthday is June second, every year, but my birthday
46
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:35.360
during the week and the weekend.
47
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.719
Where we tracked differently, but on the lunar calendars.
48
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:44.199
Yes, sir, there's two concerts. So last year I had
49
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:48.319
tickets to Metallica for both nights, one with Pantera and
50
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.960
one with uh I think it was them Biscuit, and
51
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.800
I took a kid apiece I took because only had
52
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:58.080
two tickets. I took Lily to the night that it
53
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.280
was nice nine Kills and lymp Biscuit, and then I
54
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.840
took Jonas when it was Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies.
55
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:09.879
And Lily just came away from that with a real
56
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.599
appreciation for Fred Durst as a human being.
57
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:14.960
I don't think we made it in time for a
58
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:15.599
fucking Olympic.
59
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:21.519
I think we were walking from Wells.
60
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:23.240
A terrible UH that I had that was the Friday
61
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:24.839
night show, and I worked till six and then I
62
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:26.319
had to drive there, and then I had to park
63
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:31.519
and walk from roughly uh, Georgia. So you know, as
64
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.480
we were walking into Raymond James Stadium from you know,
65
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:39.680
miles away, Oh my god, they're in overtime, we could
66
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.639
hear Olympiscut playing. He was breaking stuff for Miles away.
67
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.439
We could hear it. He was just like, give me
68
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.720
something to break, and there was like a lamp, like
69
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:51.360
I got something to break, threw over, you know, a
70
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:55.480
cash register. Anyway, the point is that this year, I'm
71
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:57.759
just I'm splitting it into two concerts. I'm gonna go
72
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.199
to one with Erica. Are you having a heart attack? Nope,
73
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:06.120
you're sneezing. So Black Crows tickets went on sale, and
74
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:08.079
I decided I wanted to go to see the Black
75
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.279
crowse my birthday, and that's on any Sunday before my birthday.
76
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:12.800
I'm gonna take Eric go to that because my kids
77
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:16.480
will not appreciate the Black Crows. Nobody, nobody, I felic
78
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:17.920
appreciates the Black Crose Like.
79
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:20.279
You will be the only person in that concert with
80
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.839
your old school with your lighter held high, waving and back.
81
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:26.439
So I'm gonna take Erica to that. But then I
82
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.839
found out. Then I found out not only was Kid
83
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:35.839
Rock performing a halftime show for the turning Point, people
84
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.439
who could not would not in a box, not with
85
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.319
a fox, not over here, not over there, not anywhere,
86
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:49.560
watch a halftime show with American citizen born in Puerto Rico,
87
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:53.160
because it is in fact in America Latin Grammy Award
88
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:58.199
winning artist Bad Bunny and former professional wrestler.
89
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.920
So yeah, you know, the best thing, that the absolute
90
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.959
best thing that has come out of that concert. And
91
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.079
I mean this sincere of that halftime show, that.
92
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:08.959
More people now know that Puerto Ricos are part of
93
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:10.839
the United States, no Mexico.
94
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.360
No. Okay, just people are stupid. I don't care if
95
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:20.360
they don't know that, okay. One, a reminder of how pathetic,
96
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:24.160
stupid and lifeless halftime shows have gone have gotten over
97
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.199
the last like ten years. Therefore, the cameras not for
98
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:32.920
the audience. Two, that Bad Bunny Spanish is so bad
99
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.120
others speakers can't understand him.
100
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.560
Yeah, that was something that I'd actually heard today, was
101
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:39.639
that other people who speak better could understand a fucking
102
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:39.959
word he is.
103
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:40.040
That.
104
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:42.439
But until we get to my point, so people actually
105
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.040
hear the movie review they came for those that are
106
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.240
still here and for those of you that are flipping
107
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:51.199
through on what are these reels the shorts, that's what
108
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:53.879
these are. You're on TikTok shorts and you're watching this.
109
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.480
You're watching this babble about not the movies. We are
110
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.720
getting to a momentarily after I do my opening spiel.
111
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.399
But Kid Rock is now coming to Tampa. He's coming
112
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.240
to Tampa the Saturday before my birth No.
113
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.000
He's a very Florida man kind of guy.
114
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.040
Well, he's definitely a Florida mankind of guy. But I
115
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:16.120
missed Kid Rock the last couple of times he came
116
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.720
through Florida. He I missed him the year he came
117
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:20.560
through and I was on my forty concerts and the
118
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:23.279
single year tour. I missed him the following year when
119
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:25.920
I decided to stop doing that and actually pay bills.
120
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.240
And that was when fiscal responsibility entered your life.
121
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:32.560
Yes, when I was no longer competing with my ex
122
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:36.800
wife for dates, she won by the way I tried,
123
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:42.639
though I did my part in any case, long story short,
124
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.199
too late. I am now going to take my kids
125
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.000
to see kid Rock, and then the next night I
126
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.040
will see Erica. I would think Erica to go see
127
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:52.680
the Black Crows. And that is how I'm spending my
128
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:58.879
fiftieth birthday. I'm entitled. I'm mock Ratlage. Marcus Anthony Rattledge
129
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:03.639
is entired to have his birthday be filled with weirdo
130
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.000
Southern rock rap like kid Rock in the Black Rose,
131
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.519
I'm hard to handle. Do you understand what I'm trying
132
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:12.040
to tell you, Robert Winfrey, I will shake my money maker.
133
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:15.399
I've been trying to handle you for a long time. Mark,
134
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:20.639
I'm aware of the difficulty associated with it. However, allow
135
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:27.560
me to simply say the following, Yes, Sir Lily's reaction
136
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:32.840
to uh, a few of those kid rock songs is
137
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:33.799
gonna be interesting.
138
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:37.000
Yes, everyone is making quite some hay out of his
139
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.720
remarks about statutory rape songs that do not age well
140
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:41.679
for two hundred.
141
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.559
Alex Um Cowboy.
142
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:51.279
Yeah, really, folks, tonight is not a review of my
143
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:54.039
social calendar, though it might as well be. Tonight we
144
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.519
are doing against Roberts wishes, a striple feature of streaming
145
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.440
action movies, one that actually made it the theaters, but
146
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:02.799
we did not see it in time because we were
147
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:06.639
doing something allegedly. Yeah, so we're looking at the Wrecking
148
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.919
Crew starring Big Dave Batista.
149
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:12.080
And drinking Dave Batista.
150
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:14.120
Lobo Jason Momoa.
151
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:18.960
That is the action here. Jason Momoa is the action
152
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:23.679
acting equivalent of Matt Tavin. It's all the same stupid joke.
153
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.200
That's funny for like fifteen morn You.
154
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.000
Ahead of Time. I genuinely like The Wrecking Crew, but
155
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:30.759
that's okay.
156
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:34.279
I'm look, that's a critique of Momoa out of the movie.
157
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:38.759
And then we're gonna look at The Rip starring Endless Lovers,
158
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:40.480
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
159
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:45.159
Somehow not set in Boston. Nothing about the actual setting
160
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:46.240
would lead you to believe that.
161
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.919
But hey, well this is based on a true story
162
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:50.919
that happened in Miami, so they had to you know,
163
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:56.080
not be in No, they didn't. And then finally we
164
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.159
are we're going to review Once upon a Time in
165
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:04.600
a Theater movie Roofman starring Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst
166
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.759
and Holy Cow is kursed and Dunst aged Oi boy,
167
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.200
I mean we all age, but it was visible, visible,
168
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:11.720
I tell you.
169
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:14.000
So.
170
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.000
Just give me a quick line something for the ladies, Robert,
171
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.000
give him show show, show him a little something. Okay,
172
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.639
pull it out and show it to him. When I
173
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:25.279
told you we were doing this, what was your first
174
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:26.360
thought besides fuck you?
175
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.960
Mark Well that one repeated a handful of times.
176
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.720
Fuck you squared.
177
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:43.320
Uh factorialed, what what happened? You?
178
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.519
Just look at this and go the fuck is Jesse
179
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.360
on vacation? What am I doing here? And the answer
180
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:50.320
is you want to go every Monday? Or don't you?
181
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:55.200
So? Look I when we did, we did the schedule,
182
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:57.600
and I kind of just went, Okay, anything that doesn't
183
00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:59.519
have a major release, you know you want to do
184
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:03.279
triple fe just run them by me, and if I
185
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.840
don't have any major objections, I will go along. And
186
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:08.320
much as I, by the way, looked.
187
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:10.840
My thing with that was not to put on here
188
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:14.639
any any strict comedies, like just straight comedies, or anything
189
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:18.519
that was resembling anything that was resembling romance and or
190
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:21.360
comedy or both. I left off of here entirely. And boy,
191
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:23.759
when I look through the schedule so far of streaming movies,
192
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:26.679
that's about all there is. We have one other triple
193
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:29.039
feature that's got action movies in it, and then a
194
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.399
lot of this is it was a lot because I
195
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:35.279
made that rule and okay, that and nothing black. I
196
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.960
was like, that must figure benefit, not mine.
197
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.480
Look, that's for the audiences. That's for the audience's benefit, yes,
198
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.399
and consequently somewhat for yours, because you don't want to
199
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.879
talk with me about weird black cinema.
200
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:54.879
No, you're right, you're you're right. I don't I have
201
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.840
Jason for twice. It's here. But my point is there's
202
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.200
not it's slip picks out there right now.
203
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.799
As I they are. This year, a lot of the
204
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:08.799
streaming slate is like really scaled back stuff. That's true.
205
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:12.519
So anyway, your thoughts, sir, before we get into the wrecking.
206
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:17.399
Crew, Ah, close your eyes and think of England.
207
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:21.360
There's many, many reasons why you remind me of my
208
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:23.919
ex wife. That's one of them. Hey, this week's triple
209
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:25.919
feature looks at three streaming Eric.
210
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:34.200
How I'm trying trying not to be offended by that one.
211
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:37.000
Trying.
212
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:39.919
That is not my reaction to doing stuff with you.
213
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.360
That's my reaction to this slight of movies.
214
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.480
This week's triple where we're having fun. This week's triple
215
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.960
Feature looks at three streaming era crime and action film
216
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.360
is built around law enforcement and men with guns.
217
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:57.360
Guns, big guns. We start two of them.
218
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.240
We start with the rip flicked crime thriller directed by
219
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.440
Joe Carnahan, reuniting Matt Damon and Ben Affleck and.
220
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:10.440
They were never separated. It's not reunited.
221
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:15.759
It feels so good. Paranoia driven story inspired by real
222
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:20.960
life Miami Dad police scandal involving Captain Chris Casiano. While fictionalized,
223
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.559
the film draws directly from the true prime anxieties about corruption, loyalty,
224
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.080
and institutional breakdown, using star power and then an ensemble
225
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:32.360
cast to anchor its procedural tension from Amazon Prime Video.
226
00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:34.840
The Wrecking Crew pairs Jason Mowe and David Batista in
227
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:37.360
a high energy buddy action film directed by Angel Manuel
228
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.960
Soto designs squarely for streaming audiences.
229
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:44.720
Oh very much so.
230
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:47.879
The film leans into chemistry, spectacle, and bra genre beachs,
231
00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:52.320
prioritizing accessibility and momentum over realism and moral complexity. And
232
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.279
we round out with Roofman, a paramount plus crime drama
233
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:00.559
directed by Derexian france A starring and starring Chance Intainam
234
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:04.080
based on a documented real life criminal case. More restraining,
235
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:07.399
character focused, the film explores crime through themes of consequence, redemption,
236
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:10.600
and ambiguity, offering a tonal counterpoint to the other two
237
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:14.200
entre entries. Together, these films give us a useful lens
238
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:18.159
on how modern streaming platforms approach crime stories, masculinity and resolution.
239
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:21.080
All right, Okay, the last two of those are not
240
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:24.799
present at all. Your ll your your large language model
241
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:25.320
was reaching.
242
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:31.919
Okay, let's get into the wrecking Crew with Big davet e.
243
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.879
Ston Minnesota Wrecking Crew that was brock Lessner and anything.
244
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:37.879
That's what we're doing.
245
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:42.360
Considering that this movie itself makes more wrestling references than
246
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:44.960
we do on an average basis, I don't feel bad
247
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:45.399
about this.
248
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:47.879
So this is the typical, so Depati, this is the
249
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.679
this is the odd Copple solve a murder. At the
250
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:53.919
beginning of the movie. Their dad slash stepdad.
251
00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:56.799
I think, no, no, he's both of their fathers. They're
252
00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:57.679
just half brothers.
253
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.080
Okay, it was the same dad and two mothers. Is
254
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:06.720
that what it was? Okay, So their dad is murdered
255
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:09.879
and it looks like a hit and ron. It smells
256
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:11.279
like a hit and run, but it does not walk
257
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:13.960
like a hit and run. Dave Batista just sort of
258
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:17.159
accepts theff And he's the one who's Navy working in
259
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:20.840
the Navy. He's doing he's training people, he's training seals, not.
260
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.440
Like but like get him to bounce the ball on
261
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:23.840
the nose.
262
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:27.080
Yeah, exactly. He's got a wife, he's got kids, he's
263
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.720
a serious, serious, man doing serious, serious work, and he
264
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:31.279
does not and he's the old man in the mountains
265
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:34.480
and he does not want them painted. Jason Momoa, it
266
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:39.000
stop me if you've heard this one before. It's a cad.
267
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:41.799
He's his life is the best, he's you know, his
268
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:43.679
woman is leaving him, as they do whenever. It's the
269
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.039
start of every one of these movies. And then the Yakuza,
270
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:51.519
because it takes place in Hawaii, comes to kill him,
271
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:53.840
and so he gets a hold of so he goes
272
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.639
to Hawaii. There's a funeral for the dad. He's reunited
273
00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:59.000
with his brother. They do not get along, don't you know?
274
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:03.279
This is an odd couple bit uh movie. And along
275
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.480
the way, Jason Momo was like, but he was murdered,
276
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.960
and Daviatista's like, no, you know what I just said,
277
00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:12.840
you're chaos and I want and I need tidiness and yeah,
278
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:14.960
and I don't need you to upset my apple cots,
279
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.080
and Jason Momo was like, fuck your apple costs. But
280
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.240
along the way, more and more evidence keeps turning up
281
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:24.080
that this was in fact a murder, possibly even a
282
00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:27.000
cover up. So the two of them get investigating things
283
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.639
and like all good action movies and Buddy Coot movies
284
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:33.080
and odd couple movies. They destroy most of Hawaii. So
285
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:36.120
and they complete with the scene with the police captain.
286
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:39.399
I don't need you to loose Cannon's running around here.
287
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.000
Not that's just a detective who's trying to like not
288
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.679
have part of the island blow up. And frankly he
289
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:48.879
be wrong.
290
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:49.679
I'm on his side.
291
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:53.519
I appreciate the fact that that is the same actor
292
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:57.679
that plays watches Nuts from Office Space, the one who
293
00:16:57.799 --> 00:16:59.799
gets the money and retires in the end, the nerdy
294
00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:03.360
guy whose name I can never remember. Yeah, I so
295
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:05.880
in my head, that's the same character. This is what
296
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.319
he did when he got bored after moving to Hawaii.
297
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:10.960
So, just to wrap this up, because I don't need
298
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:12.119
to go, I'm not doing it. That's why I'm not
299
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:14.400
letting you do the plot snops, because it doesn't matter.
300
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:17.680
So the funny, the funniest part of that movie is
301
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:22.920
them the entire I know that, I know that I
302
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.440
get upset when movies delvi into therapy speak. The fact
303
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:28.039
that that scene went out of its way to make
304
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:31.480
fun of that sort of thing, and like Batista and
305
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:36.039
Momoa are kind of in character making fun of it,
306
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:40.680
but also use weaponizing it against the detective. Stephen Root
307
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:44.279
is fucking the funniest part of the movie to me,
308
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:49.279
Like I laughed hard at that scene. So anyway, so
309
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:52.279
they continue, the Akusa keeps trying to kill them, other
310
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:54.160
people keep trying to kill them. At the end of
311
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:56.119
the day, they figure out that the Mayor's in on
312
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.720
it and governor governor, thank you, what would I do
313
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.920
without you correcting me? The Governor's in on it. The governor,
314
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:05.079
of course is the Mandolin.
315
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:07.920
Live a fuller life, but it would be a lot shorter.
316
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:11.799
So the Mandalorian's in on in on the gag, and
317
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:17.599
Boba fet not the Mandalorian, damn it tag in. I'm
318
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:20.680
at this point the heels have beat me to death. Robert,
319
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:24.200
I'm diving for you.
320
00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:32.640
Yeah, it's revealed that, uh, that Boba Fett was in
321
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:36.000
on the gag the whole time. He's trying to there's
322
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:39.359
an evil white real estate developer, because there's always an
323
00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:41.880
evil white real estate developer who wants to build a
324
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:44.720
casino on Native land. But this is Hawaii and not
325
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.319
the middle of Oklahoma. So because no one wanted to
326
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:53.400
shoot the middle of Oklahoma, why would you. And the
327
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:56.160
Governor's in on it because gambling has to be legalized
328
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:58.559
in the state of Hawaii. It's not yet, and that
329
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:00.680
was the dead giveaway that the was in on it
330
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:02.759
and was like, oh, they need to legalize gambling. Well
331
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:04.920
you need the governor for that, not the only thing
332
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:08.759
you need, but it's a real helpful component. So there's
333
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:12.160
a kidnapping because the writer was ripping off Shane Black.
334
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:15.119
There's a big action piece. A bunch of faceless goons die,
335
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:18.440
including one referred to on camera as fat John Cena.
336
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:22.799
Again I laughed at that.
337
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:30.720
There's a big fight. One of the goons dies violently
338
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.079
when Dave Batista violently kills him. There's a big explosion
339
00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:39.960
to kill the white British developer. The governor's arrested. Jason
340
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:45.240
Momoa's character makes peace with his past. Dave Batista's character
341
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.319
makes peace with his past, and there you know, yeah,
342
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:50.519
we had a crappy father, but we have each other
343
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:53.359
again now and that's kind of important. And this is
344
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:55.359
still Hawaii, and it looks like you're gonna get back
345
00:19:55.359 --> 00:20:00.839
together with Marina Bacherin. So it's all good, wonderful tell
346
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:02.319
the sequel when she's leaving you again.
347
00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:13.240
Yes, the women are always leaving all right, what did
348
00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:15.599
I think of this movie? I laughed, I cried, I hurled.
349
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:19.920
I mean it is jonas Lilly and I were talking
350
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:21.880
about because we watched it together. This is our Saturday
351
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:25.480
afternoon movie. Remember those days, Robert, Saturday afternoon with Japa.
352
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.039
You would watch movies together on cable. Now we watch
353
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:29.759
them on streaming.
354
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:33.880
I never really had cable, but so no, but the
355
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.640
sentiment of what you're expressing, I do understand, Yes, thank you, Spock.
356
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:40.599
So anyway, the three of us sat in the living
357
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:44.400
room and we were talking about this movie like this
358
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:49.599
is this boilerplate a buddy action flick as any that
359
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:52.960
you're ever gonna see. It is literally by the numbers
360
00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:54.039
the thing.
361
00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:59.759
As well may as well have had like again generic
362
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.440
movie title number two, Like everything about this is just.
363
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:06.799
It is a It is a warm chocolate chip cookie,
364
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.160
And if you want a chocolate chip cookie, then this
365
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:15.359
is the movie for you. If you don't, then you know,
366
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:23.319
hang on, and if you don't, well you know, then
367
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:23.759
don't watch.
368
00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:31.079
No, no longer distracted. So what carries this movie one?
369
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:33.839
Is the scene or is the setting Hawaii's beautiful. Oh
370
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:36.039
it's has been, probably will be until the heat.
371
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:38.519
Does somehow the humans couldn't make it work. But this
372
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:39.599
movie manages too.
373
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:42.839
So they really shoot in Hawaii because I feel like
374
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:46.359
they've shot that and like, you know, fucking some beach
375
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:54.160
in California. Oh yeah, that that is a historically bad show. Anyway,
376
00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:57.839
Hawaii is beautiful. The setting is beautiful, and they make
377
00:21:57.920 --> 00:21:58.480
full use of it.
378
00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:00.680
We know what happened we finally and what happened to
379
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:04.200
Leilo Mark after her family abandoned her, because that's this
380
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:05.160
core message of.
381
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:10.519
I was gonna say, you know, Lily made that joke.
382
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:12.079
She was like, oh look this is where this is
383
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:13.160
where Lelo ended up.
384
00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:18.799
A minor bit of hope for your daughter there.
385
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:27.319
So anyway, I like the summer in the Hawaiian culture
386
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:35.079
gets well represented. I misspoke, is what I did. The
387
00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:38.480
the ethnic culture of the area is well represented on screen,
388
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:39.880
and it's fun to look at and it makes it
389
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:42.200
a differentiates it from every other movie that does the
390
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:44.839
same fucking thing as this one. So I'm glad. I'm
391
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:48.160
glad they shot in Hawaii. I'm glad they made the
392
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:52.920
local culture a big part of storytelling, because it's one
393
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:55.640
of the few things that differentiates this. Dave Batista and
394
00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:59.200
Jason have a really great chemistry. I know you like
395
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:01.920
hate Jason over some odd reason these days, and it's
396
00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:02.799
probably you know a lot of.
397
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:05.680
About the reasoning.
398
00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:09.480
Mark, Yeah, but I have to say, his kind of
399
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:12.599
character could have been so much worse. This one is
400
00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:16.240
not like a Ryan Reynold yapper. He knows when to
401
00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:18.480
shut up. He knows when to act like a man.
402
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:20.559
I mean, and it's not even so much that he
403
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:23.599
doesn't ever act like a man, is that he's This
404
00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:28.680
is more it's less arrested development and more drunk and traumatized. Yeah,
405
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:32.000
And when he's not drunk and traumatized, he's a serious individual.
406
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:38.359
Batista Batista. They they've someone his agent or somebody else
407
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:40.559
figured out with him that the best thing about Dave
408
00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:44.160
Batista is the Dave Batista whisper. Like we all loved
409
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:46.519
him when he was like big bad Dave Batista and
410
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:48.720
running around in the leather vest and you know him
411
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.400
and Johnsena had a great match. But honestly, like as
412
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.119
fun as that was, Dave Batista works very best when
413
00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:59.599
he's understated. He already has like a big personality and
414
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:02.640
a big you don't need him screaming all over the place.
415
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:07.599
So him kind of being the civilizing part of Jason
416
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:10.119
Mooa's act worked really really well. These two has great
417
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:11.880
chemistry together. I would like to see him in something else.
418
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:13.000
I don't need to see him in more of this,
419
00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:15.680
but something else. I wouldn't mind seeing them work together
420
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:19.079
in something maybe is maybe more an opposition of each other.
421
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:25.319
The story is as much that I'm gonna use this
422
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:27.920
joke now it really it really fits the next one
423
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:31.200
even better. This is as the FBI knew, the CIA
424
00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:33.079
was setting up the Dea as any other movie.
425
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:35.119
A little bit, a little bit of that. I was
426
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:37.000
gonna save that reference for the REP.
427
00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:40.960
Because that is the entirety of the rip. This just
428
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:43.400
uses it a bit. The rip that is the plot.
429
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:48.640
Yeah, this I'm kind of largely with you. Like some
430
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:52.000
of the actions, fine, some of it's too stupid, like
431
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:56.279
the freeway chase with the helicopter. I'm sorry, that's too stupid.
432
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:00.480
Again, I I think this was I haven't gotten the
433
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:02.720
numbers on it yet. I'm sorry. Well, when I do
434
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:04.880
this for TikTok, but I want to say it was
435
00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:06.839
like one of the most watched movie of its weekend.
436
00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:12.160
Look, Amazon will claim that, it'll claim that it was
437
00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:15.440
like the most watched thing on Amazon, which, yeah, which
438
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:16.599
you know stalls midget.
439
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:21.000
My point is for for second screen viewing, what kids
440
00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:23.279
and their father are scrolling on their phones are making
441
00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:26.039
AI music weirdly personal.
442
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:30.920
It's an oddly specific demographic and just listed.
443
00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:33.960
All of that action stuff is what the people want.
444
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:37.359
So it's it's stupid. I'm not disagreeing with you, it's unrealistic.
445
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:40.359
I'm not disagreeing with you. But Amazon, I don't know
446
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:42.160
if you've seen their slate of movies. They're not in
447
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:45.000
the business of making things that are realistic. They're making
448
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:47.640
they make They make as crowd pleasing a movie as
449
00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:50.480
anything else. And you can say, and it's like, is
450
00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:52.160
this the worst movie we're gonna see this year?
451
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:52.400
No?
452
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:54.799
Is it the best? No, it's a five. It is
453
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:56.359
a perfectly average movie.
454
00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:57.480
It's a three.
455
00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:01.039
But okay, it's a three on your skill, sir. You
456
00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:05.839
choose to Live on the Moon with Doctor Manhattan. That
457
00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:08.640
was Mars. I know it's Mars. You always say that
458
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:12.400
it doesn't matter, all right, You want to talk about
459
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:13.400
what you thought of the movie, and then we can
460
00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:13.839
just move on.
461
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:21.200
Uh, this is perfectly acceptable, completely disposable, unremarkable, uninteresting action
462
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:27.720
comedy slop. Again the freeway chase I got annoyed at
463
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:29.839
because it was just it was that's where the movie
464
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:32.319
lost me. Like, if there's a spot where it lost me,
465
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:34.880
I was with it for most of it. Oh, there's
466
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:36.880
a big shootout in the middle of the market. Okay,
467
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:44.319
I'll go with you. And like when your stupid action
468
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:47.960
scene would be out of place in Commando, you've jumped
469
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:53.039
the shark a little bit. That is my barometer for this,
470
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.279
by the way, Like how how ridiculous is this? And
471
00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:01.440
is everything about it completely ridiculous? And this movie like
472
00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:04.720
the problem is like that should be very near like
473
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:07.559
your end set piece. When your end action set piece
474
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:12.160
is just stealth takedown of a house, it feels like
475
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:16.400
a letdown because you did the big action set piece already.
476
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:22.359
You frozen or am I No, I'm not frozen. Okay,
477
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:24.240
it looks like you were for a second there. Sorry,
478
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:31.279
So I actually like the house assault.
479
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:34.119
Like Erica and Eric's like, pay attention to me and
480
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:34.400
just go.
481
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:38.200
You don't have to. That's not because I need you
482
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:40.319
to pay attention to me. That's me making sure I
483
00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:47.000
don't have to repeat myself too much. So so I
484
00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:49.160
actually like the Assault on the House a little bit
485
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:56.640
more much then I do most of the other ones
486
00:27:56.680 --> 00:27:59.400
because it's a little bit more grounded. There's only one
487
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:03.759
like really dumb part of that, which is the start
488
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:07.000
of their like homage to old boy to old boy
489
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:10.559
with the hallway fight when Batista opens the door and
490
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:12.880
he sees all the goons and he's got an automatic
491
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:14.839
weapon and then doesn't just start shooting.
492
00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:19.400
That's the other thing. Is as big as Jason Momo
493
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:22.119
and Da Bautista are, they don't make them. You know,
494
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:25.000
neither one of them is Superman in this movie. They
495
00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:27.759
get beat Yeah, they when they fight each other, Look
496
00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:28.880
it looks stiff.
497
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:32.359
Yeah. They do a pretty decent job of that, and
498
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:36.799
I appreciated it. I will always appreciate someone using the canabo,
499
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:39.839
and Batista does use the canabo here, so thumbs up.
500
00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:45.880
I also kind of lost. The other place this movie
501
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:51.279
lost me was British douchebag beating up Jason Momoa. Mm hmmm,
502
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:57.119
because at that point, like we've established Momoa's credentials and
503
00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:01.359
not only am I not buying yeah, this from like
504
00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:03.839
an in universe, Like I'm just I'm not buying that
505
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:09.240
that random real estate developer is that much better at
506
00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:16.319
unarmed combat. And the fact that we have to constantly
507
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:19.279
cut away from him to a stunt double very obviously
508
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:23.920
like no, sorry, no, you'll lost me there.
509
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:29.200
So I want to see if what else angel minwill
510
00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:32.319
Soto has done. He is best known for directing the
511
00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:38.119
film's Charm City Kings and Blue Beetle. Yeah he's that guy. Yeah,
512
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:40.559
you know we used to was a Brett Ratner that
513
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:42.839
we used to say, like when you when you just
514
00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:45.799
need a stage managed, you call Brett Ratner.
515
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:49.880
We joked about him being the AI like the Ratner
516
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:50.880
Tron five thousand.
517
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:53.759
Yeah, it's getting to the point where like there's this
518
00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:58.279
they don't need our tours anymore, they just need stage managers.
519
00:29:58.319 --> 00:29:59.799
And so like a guy, you know, the guy who
520
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.880
directed Blue Beetle gets you know, gets work doing. You know,
521
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:05.720
we have this script, it's going straight to thing. We
522
00:30:05.799 --> 00:30:08.359
don't want to spend a lot of money. Who's available
523
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:11.559
and cheap and competent and can manage a stage well, well,
524
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:14.599
but we have this one guy his like second picture,
525
00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:17.279
where's some shit like? That was a blue beetle? Like,
526
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:20.720
I bet we can get him cheap. It's perfect. And
527
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:23.119
this is This was as every much blue beetle as
528
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:23.960
anything else I've.
529
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:26.759
Seen, right down to the song usage.
530
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:29.240
Yeah, anything else.
531
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:34.079
No, this is again it's utterly forgettable, mostly uninteresting.
532
00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:39.519
I'm not gonna do a full, a full rotten tomatoes thing,
533
00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:41.839
but I do because it's me and you and nobody
534
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:44.839
else fucking cares. But it's me and you. We care.
535
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:47.319
We can, we can take it again. We don't have
536
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:48.880
to go in detail, but we can take a quick
537
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:50.559
look over and see what the critics thought of it.
538
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:52.640
Yeah, I don't need to make put it on screen
539
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:55.480
or anything. It's seventy five on the Tomato meter. Uh.
540
00:30:55.680 --> 00:31:01.160
Top critics, oh my god, Top paid critics, Top top critics, okay,
541
00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:03.960
Top critics who want to be invited to parties, Top
542
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:06.039
critics who don't want to be left out in the cold,
543
00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:08.279
Top critics who don't want to be sacrificed the sky.
544
00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:14.240
Net, Top critics who don't want to piss off Jeff Bezos.
545
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:18.079
All critics. It drops to seventy five percent. I'm sorry
546
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:20.440
when it's that big a discrepancy, I'm making fun of it,
547
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:27.440
and that's unbearably sad. And the audience is sixty nine percent.
548
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:35.519
So there's that. The Wrecon Crew had its world premiere
549
00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:38.839
Regal Times Square Theater in New York City just just
550
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:44.160
in case. It gets nominated for an award January fifty
551
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:53.000
and was released on Amazon Prime January twenty eighth. Website's consensus,
552
00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:55.960
The Wrecking Crew is as brawny and disarmingly charming as
553
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:58.400
its two leading men, smashing through a thin story with
554
00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:01.680
colorful pyrotechnics and the sassy amount of attitude. Right, I'm
555
00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:02.759
ready to move on if you are.
556
00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:06.200
There's a better version of that movie, even as silly
557
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:09.559
as it is, Like that's about fifteen minutes shorter, and
558
00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:12.079
it's a lot tighter, and it's probably better overall.
559
00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:21.640
But all right, the Rip, well, I don't even understand
560
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:24.920
this comment, Ronnie says, Mark your iOS has soft reset
561
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:29.079
like four times this show. What do I keep like
562
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:30.079
freezing or something.
563
00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:33.240
I haven't noticed too much?
564
00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:39.680
Okay? Meanwhile, so the rip, The Rip is based on
565
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:44.240
a truth Okay, the Rip is based on a true story. Uh.
566
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:46.160
There.
567
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:52.440
It deals with a team of cops who uh sees
568
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:57.279
assets from a house, and it's very much who's setting
569
00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:00.559
up who, who's stealing from what At the end of
570
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:03.119
the day, Matt Damon and Ben af Flackwin you want
571
00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:07.960
to fill in any details, No, that's that's.
572
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:10.400
The broadest of all broad strokes. But it'll work.
573
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:17.000
Yeah. I like this movie. I'm glad I watched it
574
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.200
on my iPad by myself when I was when I
575
00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:23.440
was awake, and you know, I could focus on it
576
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:25.480
because I would.
577
00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:28.079
This is this is exactly I'm glad I watched this
578
00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:29.519
movie while I was awake.
579
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:32.000
Well, I mean, like I watched a lot of movies
580
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:36.839
late at night, and I find myself having to like
581
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:40.039
wake up, like I don't know where I am in
582
00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:44.279
the movie. I can't, I can't contextualize what's happening, and
583
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:45.759
I end up having to watch it two and three
584
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:49.079
other times. So this one I watched Sunday morning. When
585
00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:50.960
I got off I was bright eyed and bushy tailed.
586
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:53.640
And I mean.
587
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:58.160
This could have very easily been a stage play. It's
588
00:33:58.400 --> 00:33:59.960
extremely dialogue heavy.
589
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:02.799
There's not a lot of action, and unfortunately most of
590
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:04.039
the dialogue is not good.
591
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:07.319
The entirety of this movie more or less takes place
592
00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:09.719
in this girl's house and then they have the chase
593
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:12.800
scene at the end. I was two thirds okay with
594
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:15.840
this movie. The last third is so stupid it should
595
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:19.159
be studied. They get to a point where they've got
596
00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:22.360
they pull the switchero. You don't know this yet, And
597
00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:23.800
there's a lot of the movie does this a lot.
598
00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:27.920
The movie leads you one way, pump fakes runs the
599
00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:30.559
other way, and you're like, ah, movie, you had me,
600
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:34.320
but you lost me. There's a bit where that you
601
00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:38.199
think Matt Damon and Ben Afflack are stealing the money
602
00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:42.519
that they seize from this house to drug money, and
603
00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:45.599
they're in the They're in the tank with Stephen youwne
604
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:47.280
And I can't remember the other actor's.
605
00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:52.400
Name, Michael Chandler. Not Michael Chandler, hang on, it's Chandler
606
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:53.760
something or something Chandler.
607
00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:57.599
Hang on, you're probably closer to Michael Chandler. But uh,
608
00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:01.559
Kyle Chandler, Kyle Handler, that's it, thank you. Yeah. So
609
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:04.199
Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Stephen You, and Cole Chandler are
610
00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:08.880
in a tank and they're they're cruising and there's a
611
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:12.000
whole like who side are you on kind of a thing.
612
00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:15.960
As it turns out, they left the women behind, like
613
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:19.239
all good men should and it's Telioni and some broad
614
00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:20.840
with a nose ring who I don't understand why they
615
00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:22.039
would keep her on the police force.
616
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:25.880
But not wait did you just say it's tail.
617
00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:30.440
Oh I'm doing real well tonight. I meant Tiana.
618
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:35.000
Taylor because Tayloni is a white woman about my age.
619
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:36.239
And would have been much better at this.
620
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:39.920
Anyway, Yes, anyone would have never mind.
621
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:41.400
I never want to see end of the movie with
622
00:35:41.480 --> 00:35:46.039
Cianna Taylor in it again, Yes, she really is. She's terrible. Anyway,
623
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:48.480
they left the women behind, and they left them with
624
00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:50.320
the money, and they are off in a different direction.
625
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:53.320
You find out the bags full of it spoilers, the
626
00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:54.679
bags full of phone books.
627
00:35:55.079 --> 00:36:01.079
Rhone books mark the reality is like the biggest anachronism
628
00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:03.280
in this movie, and they get around it by saying
629
00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:05.960
that they're at the house of a hoarder. But phone
630
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:08.440
books and smartphones existing in the same place at the
631
00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:10.480
same time is one of those things that, like, if
632
00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:13.960
you've lived through the disillusionment of the phone book, those
633
00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:15.880
two things don't belong together at all.
634
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:21.840
So long story short, the FBI is waiting for them.
635
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:25.280
They are driving into a trap. And no matter, you
636
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:28.440
don't know yet if Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Steven You,
637
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:32.320
or Kyle Chandler or guilty of anything just yet. It's
638
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:34.519
it's heavily implied. But you shoot, but you sure a
639
00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:37.239
shit don't know, And they're and they're gonna get met
640
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:39.679
by the FBI. And at that point the movie should
641
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:42.119
have been over. But instead we have to have an
642
00:36:42.119 --> 00:36:45.639
asshole shootout and the FB and and the FBI can't
643
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:47.480
contain two guys making a run for it.
644
00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:51.599
A better movie, the movie that's actually confident, would have
645
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:54.880
ended with the dialogue conflict instead of a big shootout,
646
00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:56.519
a run through the swamp.
647
00:36:57.000 --> 00:37:00.400
Right, So Ben Affleck shoots Kyle Chandler because he's really
648
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:04.519
the villain and all this, and Matt Damon blesses Stephen
649
00:37:04.599 --> 00:37:10.360
Youwnan forgives him, and that's that. I by that point
650
00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:12.559
in the movie, I was so I was just exhausted
651
00:37:12.639 --> 00:37:15.480
by the whole thing and so annoyed by the lack
652
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:18.280
of confidence in what they were doing and the belief
653
00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:20.840
that every mope who's gonna watch this movie needs a
654
00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:23.199
big shootout at the end, and for the FBI to
655
00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:26.480
be this in confident that I wasn't paying that close attention.
656
00:37:26.679 --> 00:37:31.159
But yeah, we're apparently gonna have honest engine cop through
657
00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:34.000
this whole movie. Ben Affleck, who's screaming at Matt Damon
658
00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:36.480
for the entirety of this movie, Hey, well, are you
659
00:37:36.559 --> 00:37:38.920
trying to pull over here? I'm an honest cop, don't
660
00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:40.960
you understand? And my brother's in the FBON and he's
661
00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:42.480
gonna get you, all right.
662
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:46.159
So so.
663
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:49.559
They have him murder a guy in cold blood at
664
00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:52.400
the end, and it's okay because you know he's the villain.
665
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:55.320
Mind you, it is in fact cold blood in this
666
00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:57.800
particular case because the guy is unarmed.
667
00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:01.000
No, no, he's not. He reaches for the he reaches
668
00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:01.440
for a gun.
669
00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:04.360
Does he reach for a gun? Well, he look prone
670
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:06.280
to me and he and it looked like mag name
671
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:08.920
and Ben Affleck just shot him in the head. Whatever,
672
00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:10.159
it's it's a bet.
673
00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:13.440
Look, it's a badly put together scene. I was when
674
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:16.639
I got to that point, I've really focused because I'm like, okay,
675
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:19.199
are we gonna have the ball slid? Affleck? Actually just
676
00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:20.639
shoot the guy in cold blood here?
677
00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:23.440
And non shot first.
678
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:25.880
Yeah, so he's like you no, no, I know this
679
00:38:26.079 --> 00:38:28.079
is coming, and as soon as he reaches for it,
680
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:33.000
I'm already like lined up. But tactically speaking, I still
681
00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:35.559
hate it even Yeah, it's it's not well done and
682
00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:36.639
it's kind of stupid.
683
00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:38.199
All right, So let me go back to the beginning
684
00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:45.039
of the movie, the kind of like tense uh pot
685
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:47.880
boil kind of thing where you know, everyone's screaming at
686
00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:50.400
each other and it's very dialogue heavy, and then rebreak
687
00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:52.119
and everyone you know, and it's all cops is hanging
688
00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:55.440
around with no families. It's just just cops drinking beer
689
00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:58.119
at some random house. And it's like, hey everyone, no.
690
00:38:58.920 --> 00:39:00.639
No, no, they're not at a random house. They're at
691
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:02.199
the back of the it's the it's the end of
692
00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:05.880
their shift. They're at the precinct and just waiting for look,
693
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:08.719
there at a house to me now, because the DA
694
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:10.880
has come up, coming up there with the big gig
695
00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:12.960
in tank thing that they drive in like they're there.
696
00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:14.239
They haven't actually left.
697
00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:16.760
Matt Damon shows up and says everyone like, let's go,
698
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:19.880
We're gonna go raid this house. And he says it,
699
00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:24.320
oh because there's a tip. Yeah, everything up to this point,
700
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:26.360
and like, I'm interested to see where we're going. That's
701
00:39:26.360 --> 00:39:28.679
why I'm I'm I'm not trying to recite the plot
702
00:39:28.719 --> 00:39:32.519
at this point. I'm saying everything they're laying out, I'm with,
703
00:39:33.599 --> 00:39:36.000
Like I said, the bulk of this story. The stage
704
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:40.440
is this woman's house and they get there and they're like,
705
00:39:41.159 --> 00:39:43.000
there's something in this house. I don't know what you're
706
00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:46.159
talking about. This is my grandmother's house. I just live here.
707
00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:49.039
And then of course they find something and they're like,
708
00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:53.039
did you know about the money? What money? And then
709
00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:56.639
and so that's the like, that's basically the whole movie.
710
00:39:57.239 --> 00:39:59.800
Every scene, you have no idea if a character is
711
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:03.199
to you or not. And they do do a thing
712
00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:06.360
later on where they play the scene one way and
713
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:09.039
it looks like Matt Damon's guilty. Then they play it
714
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:11.480
the other way and he's clearly not guilty, and the
715
00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:15.000
two girls are with him. They are putting on a scam.
716
00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:19.079
They play the movie one way, it looks like Matt
717
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:21.960
Damon shot Ben Affleck. They play it back the other
718
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:23.639
way and the two of them have a come to
719
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:26.400
Jesus is what really happened? This might as well have
720
00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:31.960
been like done by you know the act British actor
721
00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:38.519
Clue Butler, Tim Curry, thank you. This might as well
722
00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:40.199
have had Tim Curry and it going well. It could
723
00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:42.519
have happened this way, but it really happened that way.
724
00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:45.920
As he's running around in its cul de sac. At
725
00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:49.159
one points they're attacked. There's there's gunfire in the street
726
00:40:49.159 --> 00:40:51.280
and then it stops. And that's the lest you hear
727
00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:51.480
of it.
728
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:55.800
And like I said, that shootout was such a studio note.
729
00:40:56.440 --> 00:40:58.599
Yeah, it was like this's been it's been too long
730
00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:02.119
since we've seen any action here. You know, let's.
731
00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:06.760
We can't possibly try to rely on, you know, tension
732
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:10.559
building and dialogue and atmosphere. Have something blow up.
733
00:41:12.079 --> 00:41:14.840
So here's the good, the bad, and the ugly. From
734
00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:18.880
where I see it. The good, it's well acted, it's
735
00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:23.960
pretty well paced. I was interested in the mystery. I
736
00:41:24.039 --> 00:41:25.400
wanted to see how it would end. I wanted to
737
00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:29.239
see who was guilty. The bad, the entire third act
738
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:35.039
is awful and stupid and unbelievable, which is which matters
739
00:41:35.159 --> 00:41:37.000
when you're watching a movie that's trying to lead you
740
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:39.360
to believe this could actually happen. It's not in the
741
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:41.760
fantasy world. The wrecking cruise, and this is supposed to
742
00:41:41.760 --> 00:41:44.119
be based on a true story, and we leave reality
743
00:41:44.199 --> 00:41:49.480
at the end completely. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck always
744
00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:53.239
have good, good chemistry together, but the other actors like
745
00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:57.599
Stephen Yune's okay, the girl who the Girl in the House.
746
00:41:57.840 --> 00:42:02.159
Uh, the non union Mexican equivalent of Selena Gomez.
747
00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:09.800
Uh. God, she's not even in the main out there. Nope,
748
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:15.639
it's not even in the main cast. Huh. Anyway, Girl
749
00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:19.079
in House is fine, she's fun to watch. But the
750
00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:21.719
bad that I'm trying to get to is Tianna Taylor sucks.
751
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:28.280
She's in one battle after another, but like Hollywood is
752
00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:30.280
just in love with this broad and she can't act
753
00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:30.679
as shit.
754
00:42:33.800 --> 00:42:35.199
She Yeah, she sucks.
755
00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:39.719
There's amazingly she's won two Golden Global Awards and two
756
00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:44.880
Critics Choice Awards, like she is. I gotn't want to
757
00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:46.760
be that guy, but she is every much a DEI
758
00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:48.400
higher as anyone else I've ever seen.
759
00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:52.039
She's awful when her opening line in this is so,
760
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:54.239
what do you think about your captain who got shot?
761
00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:59.480
Is well, she was my bitch? Like bad dialogue, badly delivered.
762
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:01.280
There's no saving any of that.
763
00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:07.920
I will say, I wish they had gotten to the
764
00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:12.599
meat of this a little bit faster. Ronnie speaking up
765
00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:17.400
for the liberals. You're officially that guy. Thanks Ronnie. You
766
00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:23.960
can find Ronnie at any at any rally featuring Democrats, liberals, communists,
767
00:43:23.960 --> 00:43:26.119
and socialists, That's where you'll find Ronnie. He'll be doing
768
00:43:26.159 --> 00:43:28.480
a D and D there, Yes, doing a D and D.
769
00:43:28.639 --> 00:43:32.400
I'm an old man, so anyway, uh waiting for the
770
00:43:32.440 --> 00:43:39.719
next comment from him? Now, who's suddle a bitch? Either way?
771
00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:48.119
Where was I? Yeah, Taylor? Oh yeah, the movie. We
772
00:43:48.280 --> 00:43:51.079
needed Matt Damon to get there a little bit faster
773
00:43:51.159 --> 00:43:56.039
and do a little less trying to fool everybody. Thanks Papa,
774
00:43:56.960 --> 00:44:04.360
you are welcome. And then the ugly. Like I said, I,
775
00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:07.480
this movie doesn't trust its audience. It doesn't know what
776
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:10.239
it wants to be. It's a little confused. I think
777
00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:12.039
if you're not the kind of person who's me and
778
00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:14.719
Robert and does a podcast where you review movies, you'll
779
00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:17.440
probably just accept it as is, as long as you
780
00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:19.599
treat it as second screen viewing. Because the minute you
781
00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:21.880
pay attention to this thing and think about it in
782
00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:25.920
any way, it just falls apart. It is perfectly fine
783
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:29.679
as second screen viewing, it does not stand up under
784
00:44:29.719 --> 00:44:30.599
any kind of scrutiny.
785
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:34.320
Robert, I'm a little bit harder on this one than
786
00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:40.599
you are. Affleck and Damon are fine. But I think
787
00:44:40.639 --> 00:44:42.159
if you're gonna go out of your way to talk
788
00:44:42.199 --> 00:44:46.039
about how this is a Miami movie, then you have
789
00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:49.719
to do something with that setting. Nothing about this movie
790
00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:50.519
says Miami.
791
00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:53.400
Yeah, they needed to treat the rip like they treated
792
00:44:53.559 --> 00:44:54.559
La in Training Day.
793
00:44:56.119 --> 00:44:59.519
Well, there's plenty of ways to make the city a
794
00:44:59.639 --> 00:45:03.719
part of of the story. And yeah, Training Day Heat
795
00:45:03.840 --> 00:45:07.039
makes La a big part of what it does. Any
796
00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:09.840
number of Scorsese films actually make use of New York.
797
00:45:11.920 --> 00:45:14.280
And then again, we can go on and on. This
798
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:17.760
could have been set in Portland, Oregon. You could have
799
00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:20.079
told me this was in Portland and I would have gone, okay.
800
00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:22.800
Honestly, that block they shot this on looks like where
801
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:24.760
my wife lives, Like if she lives in a cul
802
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:29.159
de sac. There's houses in half a circle. They there was, Like,
803
00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:34.119
there's certain elements that mark Miami as being architecturally distinct
804
00:45:34.199 --> 00:45:35.760
from the rest of this country.
805
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:38.079
We don't even get a skyline shot.
806
00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:42.199
Like, we don't get a skyline shot, Like I don't
807
00:45:42.199 --> 00:45:44.159
even think that, Like the houses were made of stucco,
808
00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:47.000
Like my dad hates them, Like he's actually, like really
809
00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:49.199
complained about some of the architecture of Miami, like the
810
00:45:49.239 --> 00:45:51.760
way the house is looking in our maid and you
811
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:54.840
don't get that here. These houses could have they could
812
00:45:56.000 --> 00:45:57.960
they could have shot those houses from anywhere.
813
00:45:58.760 --> 00:46:02.840
It's any suburb called to Sack, anywhere in the country.
814
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:08.199
Yeah, keep going, but I'm gonna put Ronie's com I'm
815
00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:10.039
gonna keep puting Ronnie's comments on screen.
816
00:46:11.360 --> 00:46:14.000
So that don't make use of that. That's a real problem.
817
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:19.079
I can't buy into Tianna Taylor and septem Piercing.
818
00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:22.599
That's officially her name, septem Piercing.
819
00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:25.960
Well, you know, like.
820
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:30.159
I I come from law enforcement, Like I've worked in
821
00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:33.039
jails for the prior for the prior thirteen years before
822
00:46:33.039 --> 00:46:35.840
he changed jobs. And it took a lot from my
823
00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:40.239
local sheriff's office to allow tattoos. They're not letting you
824
00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:42.519
onto the force, septem Ring, and they're certainly not fucking
825
00:46:42.599 --> 00:46:45.119
promoting you or whatever whatever thing she is.
826
00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:48.719
So I don't think either of them do a very
827
00:46:48.760 --> 00:46:50.639
good job. They're just kind of there to round out
828
00:46:50.679 --> 00:46:55.639
the cast, because there's no The tension here, to the
829
00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:59.840
extent that it exists is Affleck Damon and Steve Young.
830
00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:05.039
At no point is there anything approximating suspicion or aspersion
831
00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:06.559
put on the on the two women.
832
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:11.599
Yeah, when you think Matt Damon is stealing the money,
833
00:47:12.239 --> 00:47:14.239
you think they're in on it and agreeing to it.
834
00:47:15.199 --> 00:47:17.960
When you don't think Matt Damon is stealing the money,
835
00:47:18.559 --> 00:47:20.719
there's the they're just hanging a route with the dicks
836
00:47:20.760 --> 00:47:22.679
in their hands and then they drive away with the
837
00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:24.320
money to get it.
838
00:47:24.480 --> 00:47:27.760
Yeah, they are. They are functionally useless.
839
00:47:28.280 --> 00:47:31.039
Yeah, they they they're there so they can do the
840
00:47:31.079 --> 00:47:32.880
switch at the end. That's the that's their whole job.
841
00:47:33.039 --> 00:47:35.440
Yeah, they're the I mean in universe, they're there to
842
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:40.480
count money and narratively they're there to again pull the
843
00:47:40.519 --> 00:47:43.079
switch at the end. But they don't actually provide any
844
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:46.639
interesting character dynamics. They don't provide any dialogue beats, they
845
00:47:46.679 --> 00:47:47.639
don't do anything.
846
00:47:48.599 --> 00:47:51.920
The septum piercing has one interesting bit, and you might
847
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:53.639
not find it interesting, but I could keep it in
848
00:47:53.800 --> 00:47:57.280
on it because of what that exchange of dialogue was
849
00:47:57.320 --> 00:48:00.599
trying to do. There's a scene where there's the beginning
850
00:48:00.599 --> 00:48:02.199
of the bit when they realize how much money is there.
851
00:48:02.360 --> 00:48:04.960
Matt Damon's like, everyone give me your phones. At this point,
852
00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:07.519
they are trying to tape her down the scene the seizure,
853
00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:11.559
because at any given time and they're all one of
854
00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:13.639
the subplots of this movie is that a one of
855
00:48:13.679 --> 00:48:16.960
the captains had been shot and they're trying to kind
856
00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:18.960
of backdoor figure out why this is, why any of
857
00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:21.639
this is happening, So this is kind of a setup
858
00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:27.679
and in universe. At the time, Matt Damon's like, I
859
00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:29.480
don't know what to do about all this money. I
860
00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:31.320
don't know who I can trust. Let me get let
861
00:48:31.360 --> 00:48:33.840
me at the very least grab everyone's cell phone. And
862
00:48:33.960 --> 00:48:36.199
she's like, before I give you my cell phone, I
863
00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:38.280
would like to call home and let my daughters know
864
00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:40.440
I'm okay and that I did not abandon them. This
865
00:48:40.559 --> 00:48:42.639
is a very real thing. This is a very real
866
00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:45.639
thing that a parent, you know, if they were supposed
867
00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:47.559
to be with their kids and they got suddenly taken
868
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:49.960
to work, Like if you're if you're on the other
869
00:48:50.000 --> 00:48:51.559
side of that and there's a kid who's like, where's
870
00:48:51.559 --> 00:48:54.719
my dad? Where's my mom? And she doesn't call. She
871
00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:56.800
just seems like a darrel with parent. And if you're
872
00:48:56.840 --> 00:48:58.480
in a situation, I don't want to go and do
873
00:48:58.519 --> 00:49:00.280
a whole thing here, but you're in a situation where
874
00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:04.079
you're in a co parent situation and you and you
875
00:49:04.159 --> 00:49:06.400
seem like a derelict parent, your life is gonna get
876
00:49:06.599 --> 00:49:10.400
exponentially worse. So that's the one good scene she's in
877
00:49:10.639 --> 00:49:12.719
is she's showing in a very short period of time
878
00:49:13.239 --> 00:49:17.280
that panic and frustration and Matt damon, God bless him.
879
00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:19.000
Like you can say he's a bad actor, you can
880
00:49:19.079 --> 00:49:21.320
say he's a good actor in that scene. I very
881
00:49:21.400 --> 00:49:24.559
much believed he was conflicted. It's a little thing. But
882
00:49:24.679 --> 00:49:26.800
in the movie where it's all dialogue and it's all
883
00:49:26.840 --> 00:49:30.360
little things, that was a big moment back to you.
884
00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:35.760
Okay, Yeah, as far as the misdirect goes, and like
885
00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:40.840
who's in it, they inherently limit the scope of people
886
00:49:40.920 --> 00:49:47.559
were worried about. They also this movie does like the worst,
887
00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:49.360
one of the worst things you can do if you're
888
00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:52.920
this kind of movie. It sort of splits its attention
889
00:49:53.199 --> 00:50:02.719
between being a character heavy tension filled like Web of Lies,
890
00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:07.039
interactivity bit and then in the middle of all that,
891
00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:11.320
we like try to splice in assault on Precinct thirteen
892
00:50:11.400 --> 00:50:16.800
for a siege motif and they don't go together. It's
893
00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:19.719
a terrible thing. It removes a bunch of the tension.
894
00:50:20.280 --> 00:50:23.000
It doesn't know that there's functionally no tension here anyway.
895
00:50:23.639 --> 00:50:27.119
It's at a certain point, like I was okay with
896
00:50:27.239 --> 00:50:30.039
what was going on for a while, and then we
897
00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:33.039
get to a certain point and suddenly it's just like, okay,
898
00:50:33.239 --> 00:50:37.199
you're just everything about this is confused, not in a
899
00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:44.239
good way, and we're just and I know you're not
900
00:50:44.400 --> 00:50:47.719
gonna have the creative balls to let Affleck or Damon
901
00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:50.159
be the villain, So that makes it real easy.
902
00:50:50.760 --> 00:50:54.599
Yeah, it's kind of process of elimination. I will read
903
00:50:54.639 --> 00:50:56.719
this one comment from Ronnie because I think it's a
904
00:50:56.719 --> 00:50:58.679
good one. It's a Netflix movie. They have to make
905
00:50:58.719 --> 00:51:02.199
something go boomer. It's not getting made. We've been saying
906
00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:02.719
that all show.
907
00:51:03.599 --> 00:51:05.679
I understand that, I really do.
908
00:51:06.039 --> 00:51:06.480
I just.
909
00:51:09.519 --> 00:51:12.840
So either turn hang on, either turn this into a
910
00:51:13.039 --> 00:51:16.320
bigger action thing again, like actually commit to the siege
911
00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:19.039
motif and let's do a ref onn Assault on Precinct thirteen,
912
00:51:20.119 --> 00:51:25.280
or commit to not doing that. And let's actually, you know,
913
00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:29.039
kind of try and lean into character dynamics and dialogue
914
00:51:29.119 --> 00:51:32.559
intention But also again, the dialogue is bad in this movie.
915
00:51:32.599 --> 00:51:36.280
I mean, the whole opening bits in the police station
916
00:51:38.159 --> 00:51:40.519
is about as generic cop talk as you will ever
917
00:51:40.679 --> 00:51:41.440
find anywhere.
918
00:51:41.800 --> 00:51:44.360
So this is another guy who specializes in straight to
919
00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:47.840
streaming movies. So before this he did Not Without Hope.
920
00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:50.079
That's not what I want to talk about. He did
921
00:51:50.920 --> 00:51:54.199
Shadow for Us. That's not what I want to talk about, Hey, Ronnie.
922
00:51:54.239 --> 00:51:59.280
He also did cop Shop. He directed cop Shop, which
923
00:51:59.360 --> 00:52:02.280
we reviewed. He also Robert, do you remember this one
924
00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:07.119
Boss Level with Frank Grillo.
925
00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:10.400
Boss Level wasn't terrible?
926
00:52:10.760 --> 00:52:13.239
It was not, Hey Robert, remember this one? He wrote
927
00:52:13.320 --> 00:52:14.239
Bad Boys for Life?
928
00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:18.440
Okay, now I want him drug behind a City Bus.
929
00:52:19.239 --> 00:52:21.400
He wrote the new Death Wish from twenty eighteen that
930
00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:23.559
we reviewed that was directed by Eli Roth.
931
00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:25.840
Oh, the one with Bruce Willis. Yeah.
932
00:52:26.679 --> 00:52:32.159
He wrote and directed Stretch. He wrote and directed The Gray,
933
00:52:33.079 --> 00:52:36.920
He wrote, directed, He wrote and directed The A Team.
934
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:40.039
I liked The A Team as a movie.
935
00:52:40.119 --> 00:52:46.239
Actually, he wrote and directed Smoking Aces, narc And He wrote, directed,
936
00:52:46.320 --> 00:52:48.320
and produced Blood Cuts, Bullets and Octane.
937
00:52:50.960 --> 00:52:54.360
Okay, So functionally this is way outside of his wheelhouse. Basically.
938
00:52:54.800 --> 00:52:59.920
Yeah, television, he wrote, produced, and directed State of a Fan.
939
00:53:01.360 --> 00:53:01.480
Uh.
940
00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:04.599
He directed You Got Rodney madd you listen, You listened
941
00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:06.039
cop shopping to screw him.
942
00:53:08.199 --> 00:53:09.960
That's why I did that. That was one of the
943
00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:11.760
ones that meet him and I did before he quit
944
00:53:11.800 --> 00:53:16.360
doing podcasts with me. Uh, Mage, let's look at the
945
00:53:16.480 --> 00:53:19.039
rips rotten. You're done right? You have nothing else to say?
946
00:53:19.239 --> 00:53:22.760
Yeah, I have very okay. If there's one good thing,
947
00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:25.000
one other good thing I want to say about this movie.
948
00:53:25.679 --> 00:53:29.000
Casting Scott Adkins as Ben Affleck's brother was actually a
949
00:53:29.039 --> 00:53:33.000
good choice because Scott Adkins is an actor who I
950
00:53:33.039 --> 00:53:34.920
really wish had gotten a bigger break because he's a
951
00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:37.800
really good martial artist and not a bad actor, but
952
00:53:38.119 --> 00:53:42.000
he never quite hit in the American audiences. So I'm
953
00:53:42.039 --> 00:53:44.320
glad to see him get work all right.
954
00:53:44.559 --> 00:53:48.400
Uh. The Tomato meter is seventy nine for all critics,
955
00:53:48.519 --> 00:53:52.400
Top critics at seventy four, so wild retarded parents.
956
00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:54.719
That's an acceptable level of varians.
957
00:53:54.960 --> 00:53:59.159
Yes, and then we have for all audiences sixty five percent. Honestly,
958
00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:02.039
I think this would bored people. That's the impression I'm
959
00:54:02.079 --> 00:54:05.280
getting is like oh, an action movie with ten Affleck
960
00:54:05.360 --> 00:54:07.320
and Matt Damon old Boy, and then they see what
961
00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:08.760
it is, they're like, oh, this is what I wanted
962
00:54:08.800 --> 00:54:09.599
at all. I want it.
963
00:54:09.840 --> 00:54:15.639
Also, it also sold itself as a act as a
964
00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:19.000
more action oriented kind of movie. Like the marketing gave
965
00:54:19.079 --> 00:54:20.639
you a very different impression of this film.
966
00:54:20.719 --> 00:54:23.000
Yeah this was Netflix is really good at bait and switches.
967
00:54:23.079 --> 00:54:27.960
Remember Mignot's also known as cuties. Yeah, hey, here's supposed
968
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:29.760
to full of girls with the you know, young young
969
00:54:29.840 --> 00:54:33.840
adolescent girls with the crocses out. Oh, well that's terrible.
970
00:54:33.840 --> 00:54:35.960
I'm gonna protest Netflix now. I don't want to watch that.
971
00:54:36.679 --> 00:54:38.920
And you watch the movie and it's not really that.
972
00:54:39.840 --> 00:54:42.360
It's a it's enough that to be a problem, but yeah,
973
00:54:42.400 --> 00:54:45.239
it's not. They they they gave the rest of the
974
00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:48.159
world the French marketing push, and that's not a good idea.
975
00:54:48.559 --> 00:54:51.000
Well that's the thing, if you'll read. I don't want
976
00:54:51.000 --> 00:54:53.360
to get into a whole thing here. But what Netflix
977
00:54:53.480 --> 00:54:56.239
actually did wrong was they had a perfectly good poster,
978
00:54:56.960 --> 00:55:00.119
the French movie poster. It's just the girls, the the
979
00:55:00.239 --> 00:55:02.960
wide angle long shot of them down to French Street
980
00:55:03.559 --> 00:55:06.960
with shopping bags with the worst or two of them
981
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:08.159
may have been wearing a crop top.
982
00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:11.239
I feel like again, I feel like they swapped and
983
00:55:11.360 --> 00:55:15.559
what was supposed to be the French marketing, which is, hey,
984
00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:18.360
let's sexualize children, and what should have been the rest
985
00:55:18.400 --> 00:55:21.880
of the world marketing, which is the drama, the dramatics
986
00:55:21.920 --> 00:55:26.480
around young girls in this profession, we're aspiring to this goal.
987
00:55:26.800 --> 00:55:31.119
Hang on, I don't them, Ronnie, Netflix isn't wasn't in charge.
988
00:55:31.119 --> 00:55:32.239
They bought the film, Ronnie.
989
00:55:32.920 --> 00:55:34.320
Yeah, Netflix didn't commission it.
990
00:55:34.960 --> 00:55:38.559
This is this Mignones was not a Mines was a
991
00:55:38.599 --> 00:55:42.360
French film, sir. And Netflix bought the distribution rights. That's
992
00:55:42.440 --> 00:55:42.639
all that.
993
00:55:42.840 --> 00:55:46.800
Now. Now, look, I'd have rather Netflix bought the distribution
994
00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:48.920
rights and then pointed and laughed and said, no, we're
995
00:55:48.960 --> 00:55:50.440
never releasing this. But that's me.
996
00:55:50.800 --> 00:55:54.880
Well again, I'm don't want to relitigate Mignons in the
997
00:55:54.960 --> 00:55:57.920
middle of our review of the rip. So I'm gonna
998
00:55:58.039 --> 00:56:01.239
end this conversation by saying the following. They had the
999
00:56:01.360 --> 00:56:04.480
movie poster. It was fine. They went out of their
1000
00:56:04.519 --> 00:56:09.599
way to choose a movie slide like one of the
1001
00:56:09.719 --> 00:56:13.119
pictures that because if you look at the poster that
1002
00:56:13.519 --> 00:56:16.079
for the thumbnail that they used. They went out of
1003
00:56:16.159 --> 00:56:18.440
their way to find the girls in those poses. Boy
1004
00:56:18.559 --> 00:56:22.360
did they that that is somebody doing some fun with photoshop,
1005
00:56:23.280 --> 00:56:25.880
and they it.
1006
00:56:25.960 --> 00:56:29.320
Was a film and a marketing campaign commissioned by Jeffrey Epstein.
1007
00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:36.360
Stop it. My point is they purposely did that there
1008
00:56:36.440 --> 00:56:39.320
there that was intentional. It was we want people to
1009
00:56:39.360 --> 00:56:42.519
see this movie on our streaming site. Make a thumbnail
1010
00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:45.320
that's going to be appealing to people. Turns out, the
1011
00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:49.320
world's full of perverts. So they go, oh, four young
1012
00:56:49.400 --> 00:56:53.239
girls in leotards with the crotches out, wonderful. I will
1013
00:56:53.239 --> 00:56:58.559
watch this movie called Cutis and for more on that,
1014
00:56:58.760 --> 00:57:04.360
you should check out the haranguing I got by Jesse
1015
00:57:04.519 --> 00:57:07.639
Starcher that that cosplayed as a review.
1016
00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:11.760
As that's how Mark, that's kind of how you know
1017
00:57:11.840 --> 00:57:13.559
you're a little bit off base. I don't think you're
1018
00:57:13.559 --> 00:57:16.440
a way off base. You're a little off bass. Because
1019
00:57:16.480 --> 00:57:21.159
even Jesse was like, okay, flag goes in the ground here.
1020
00:57:22.360 --> 00:57:24.360
That was one where he refused. I loved I love
1021
00:57:24.440 --> 00:57:26.000
that doing that show. It's one of my favorite pockets.
1022
00:57:26.039 --> 00:57:27.760
I don't need to make it into a song or anything, but.
1023
00:57:27.880 --> 00:57:29.719
You should you shouldn't. I want to see what that
1024
00:57:29.840 --> 00:57:30.239
looks like.
1025
00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:32.760
Now, maybe I will I did one for resort the
1026
00:57:32.800 --> 00:57:34.599
mail the other day, just on a board of an aggravation.
1027
00:57:34.840 --> 00:57:38.400
But maybe I will just just work on cuties by myself.
1028
00:57:38.800 --> 00:57:41.719
And it's just fucking someone yelling at me.
1029
00:57:42.159 --> 00:57:47.559
No, no, stops working on quties by myself.
1030
00:57:48.440 --> 00:57:52.400
Stop that I'll end up being invited to an island
1031
00:57:52.440 --> 00:58:00.199
that I don't want to go to AnyWho. Uh, Iceland, Yes,
1032
00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:01.280
where all the minerals are.
1033
00:58:02.159 --> 00:58:05.559
Greenland is where all the minerals are. Oh yeah, Iceland
1034
00:58:05.599 --> 00:58:08.119
is where they've you gencized their way out of down syndrome.
1035
00:58:09.960 --> 00:58:14.679
This is the fun podcast. I'm glad we did this anyway.
1036
00:58:15.719 --> 00:58:17.960
They so, I think this kind of a similar thing
1037
00:58:18.079 --> 00:58:21.760
here where. How why I'm linking QTS to the rip
1038
00:58:22.239 --> 00:58:25.920
is Netflix because Netflix is a streaming service and they
1039
00:58:25.960 --> 00:58:29.079
make thumbnails and they want those thumbnails to attract clicks.
1040
00:58:29.960 --> 00:58:31.760
They go out of their way to make this seem
1041
00:58:31.840 --> 00:58:33.840
like it's an action movie when it's not. It's a
1042
00:58:34.480 --> 00:58:35.239
it's a drama.
1043
00:58:36.480 --> 00:58:40.920
Yeah, and marketing is a big important part of what
1044
00:58:41.079 --> 00:58:44.960
goes on there, and Netflix kind of does it poorly, yeah,
1045
00:58:45.079 --> 00:58:49.599
sort of bare minimum they are are They are dishonest
1046
00:58:49.639 --> 00:58:49.960
about it.
1047
00:58:51.920 --> 00:58:55.039
I hope when the AI reads the When the large
1048
00:58:55.079 --> 00:58:58.880
Language model reads the transcript of this podcast, it suggests
1049
00:58:58.960 --> 00:59:02.280
I do a comparing contrast of Mignon's to the Rip
1050
00:59:03.760 --> 00:59:05.559
based on this conversation alone.
1051
00:59:05.559 --> 00:59:06.000
It might.
1052
00:59:06.800 --> 00:59:11.320
It might. That's a fun prompt. Anyway, Speaking of fun prompts,
1053
00:59:11.360 --> 00:59:12.360
let's move on to Roofman?
1054
00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:15.000
Were fun or prompty about this?
1055
00:59:18.679 --> 00:59:19.920
You don't have anything else to say about the Rip?
1056
00:59:19.960 --> 00:59:20.079
Do you?
1057
00:59:21.960 --> 00:59:23.079
No? It's not very good?
1058
00:59:23.639 --> 00:59:26.840
All right? So The Roofman came out in theaters the
1059
00:59:26.920 --> 00:59:31.400
weekend of October tenth. What were we doing October tenth?
1060
00:59:31.480 --> 00:59:32.719
There was a reason why we skipped this?
1061
00:59:32.880 --> 00:59:33.519
Something better?
1062
00:59:34.199 --> 00:59:39.559
No, I doubt that. I sincerely fucking doubt that. October
1063
00:59:40.239 --> 00:59:47.679
tenth was oh tron Aries, Okay, one of your worst
1064
00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:48.599
movies of the years.
1065
00:59:49.519 --> 00:59:51.639
Okay, I will not. I can no longer say better.
1066
00:59:53.360 --> 00:59:54.840
Certainly something bigger.
1067
00:59:55.920 --> 00:59:57.679
So we saw the trailer for this a bunch of
1068
00:59:57.719 --> 00:59:59.199
times when I was taking my kids to the movies
1069
00:59:59.280 --> 01:00:01.960
last year. It was something we we were interested in,
1070
01:00:02.079 --> 01:00:06.239
that we were we were interested in seeing. But it
1071
01:00:06.360 --> 01:00:08.159
came out at a time where it was never gonna
1072
01:00:08.199 --> 01:00:11.760
be time for me to watch it. So, and there
1073
01:00:11.880 --> 01:00:14.800
wasn't a good third streaming action movie that I'm aware
1074
01:00:14.840 --> 01:00:17.519
of to have paired with this in the timeframe I
1075
01:00:17.559 --> 01:00:18.400
wanted to do this, and.
1076
01:00:18.559 --> 01:00:21.320
So yeah, there's well, if we wanted to go like
1077
01:00:21.440 --> 01:00:23.880
back in the history of streaming movies, we could have
1078
01:00:23.960 --> 01:00:26.480
found something, but we wanted to keep this close to
1079
01:00:26.559 --> 01:00:26.880
each other.
1080
01:00:27.039 --> 01:00:28.960
So yeah, there was the Kevin James one that we
1081
01:00:29.039 --> 01:00:30.920
could have done, but I didn't want to talk to you,
1082
01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:33.480
do I nor do I want you know? There was something.
1083
01:00:33.519 --> 01:00:35.519
There was some stuff that came out like late December
1084
01:00:37.039 --> 01:00:41.280
that's getting commercials now and it's got what's his face
1085
01:00:41.400 --> 01:00:44.840
rich and in it. It's called Playdate. I think it is.
1086
01:00:46.079 --> 01:00:48.360
I've literally never heard of this, But if you don't,
1087
01:00:49.079 --> 01:00:50.639
I think you're talking about Alan Richs and the guy
1088
01:00:50.639 --> 01:00:51.400
who plays Reacher.
1089
01:00:51.880 --> 01:00:57.559
Yeah, hang on, playdate. Fuck damn it. Now I'm on
1090
01:00:57.639 --> 01:01:00.800
a dating website. No, I'm just kidding. Playdate twenty twenty five.
1091
01:01:00.840 --> 01:01:03.199
See there's dating is in air quotes there by the way.
1092
01:01:04.679 --> 01:01:09.119
So Playdate came out November twelve, So yes, if I
1093
01:01:09.159 --> 01:01:11.559
had wanted to go back and do another shitty Amazon movie,
1094
01:01:12.079 --> 01:01:13.880
we could have done Playdate with this, but I didn't
1095
01:01:13.880 --> 01:01:16.000
want to. I wanted to actually watch something I wanted
1096
01:01:16.039 --> 01:01:21.599
to watch. Uh so that's the way he landed on Roofman. Roofman. Basically,
1097
01:01:21.800 --> 01:01:28.840
you have a guy who is committ a loser, committing
1098
01:01:28.960 --> 01:01:31.800
robberies to gain money so that he can buy his
1099
01:01:31.920 --> 01:01:34.679
daughter nice things. He has eventually caught sent to prison.
1100
01:01:34.760 --> 01:01:37.280
He then escapes and he gets the book thrown at
1101
01:01:37.400 --> 01:01:40.840
him for like very non violent robberies because the judge
1102
01:01:40.880 --> 01:01:41.840
has a heart on for it.
1103
01:01:42.440 --> 01:01:45.400
Yeah, so it doesn't matter, it's not that relevant to
1104
01:01:45.480 --> 01:01:46.280
the movie. In any case.
1105
01:01:46.360 --> 01:01:48.719
He goes to prison escape, so irrelevant if you've only
1106
01:01:48.800 --> 01:01:50.480
been If they were only going to lock him away
1107
01:01:50.480 --> 01:01:52.639
for like a year or two, then he probably would
1108
01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:53.679
have broken out of prison.
1109
01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:56.679
Well let's talk about that. So he goes to live
1110
01:01:56.719 --> 01:01:59.559
in a toys or rush which is run by Peter.
1111
01:02:00.360 --> 01:02:03.440
He was throwing his weight around. And our poor besieged
1112
01:02:03.480 --> 01:02:05.360
woman in this movie is Kirsten Dune. He has two
1113
01:02:05.440 --> 01:02:08.559
teenage daughters and they are just teenage daughters, and she
1114
01:02:08.719 --> 01:02:11.519
is working hard for the man and so.
1115
01:02:13.239 --> 01:02:13.960
For the money.
1116
01:02:14.440 --> 01:02:17.360
So he figures out how to live in this toys
1117
01:02:17.440 --> 01:02:20.320
r us. He's like hiding behind the bike rack kind
1118
01:02:20.360 --> 01:02:20.880
of makes himself.
1119
01:02:21.440 --> 01:02:23.880
There's part of the display that is just like, yeah,
1120
01:02:24.159 --> 01:02:27.480
not readily visible, So he kind of hides out there,
1121
01:02:28.360 --> 01:02:30.760
and he learns how to turn off the security cameras
1122
01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:34.199
so we can move around, and he just willing nearly
1123
01:02:34.360 --> 01:02:36.480
steals anything from the store that he feels like he
1124
01:02:36.599 --> 01:02:37.280
needs or wants.
1125
01:02:37.599 --> 01:02:41.360
Yeah, so at some point he takes a bunch of
1126
01:02:41.440 --> 01:02:46.519
clothing to a church and he's trying toys. Okay, Yeah,
1127
01:02:46.679 --> 01:02:49.239
so there's a whole thing that set that up with
1128
01:02:49.360 --> 01:02:51.239
Kirsten Dune, who he's trying to get into the pants of.
1129
01:02:53.119 --> 01:02:54.920
I should take a step back and say he says
1130
01:02:54.960 --> 01:02:56.679
something in the movie that kind of sets this all off.
1131
01:02:56.719 --> 01:02:58.960
He was like, I could have stayed back there forever,
1132
01:02:59.039 --> 01:03:01.800
but your brain needs him. It needs to see new things.
1133
01:03:01.840 --> 01:03:03.360
And so he makes a point to say, I gotta
1134
01:03:03.400 --> 01:03:04.719
get the fuck out of the store every once in
1135
01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:06.760
a while or I'm gonna go nuts. What did I
1136
01:03:06.840 --> 01:03:09.519
do all of this for? If I can't leave, I
1137
01:03:09.639 --> 01:03:13.159
might as well just stayed in prison. So he starts
1138
01:03:13.360 --> 01:03:15.880
like taking adventures outside of Toys r US when it's
1139
01:03:16.079 --> 01:03:20.519
when it's fairly available to him. One of those adventures
1140
01:03:20.559 --> 01:03:23.760
that he goes on is toys. He takes toys to
1141
01:03:23.840 --> 01:03:25.960
a church. He is met by one of the church
1142
01:03:26.079 --> 01:03:28.639
members is like, come join our cult. So he does,
1143
01:03:29.199 --> 01:03:32.079
and as it turns out, Kirston Dunst is there and
1144
01:03:32.119 --> 01:03:35.960
he wants to get in her pants, so she goes
1145
01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:37.519
on a date with him, and for the rest of
1146
01:03:37.599 --> 01:03:42.039
the movie they are an ersatz couple. As it turns out,
1147
01:03:44.880 --> 01:03:47.719
the heat is on. They're still looking for him, like
1148
01:03:47.800 --> 01:03:51.639
a month later, because he's now an escape convict. This
1149
01:03:51.760 --> 01:03:54.880
all comes to a head where he's like, I'm gonna escape.
1150
01:03:55.239 --> 01:03:58.679
He can't convince Carston duns to go with him. He
1151
01:03:58.880 --> 01:04:01.079
robs the toys of Russ they work at. She figures
1152
01:04:01.079 --> 01:04:03.599
out that it's him doing it. He takes the money,
1153
01:04:03.679 --> 01:04:06.480
he pays the guy like Keith Stanfield and says get
1154
01:04:06.559 --> 01:04:08.079
me paper, so I get the fuck out of here.
1155
01:04:08.639 --> 01:04:13.440
And then because he's dumb, no, no, you. I don't
1156
01:04:13.599 --> 01:04:15.760
understand what possessed him to do this. But if this
1157
01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:19.840
was based on a true story, uh, Kirsten Dunn's clearly
1158
01:04:19.960 --> 01:04:22.719
being led by the police. Calls him and says.
1159
01:04:22.800 --> 01:04:25.599
Come back, and he says it's Christmas.
1160
01:04:26.199 --> 01:04:30.239
Well, I do enjoy vaginas so I will, and he
1161
01:04:30.320 --> 01:04:30.719
goes back.
1162
01:04:30.760 --> 01:04:32.719
I can never get to see one again for the
1163
01:04:32.800 --> 01:04:33.559
rest of your life.
1164
01:04:33.760 --> 01:04:36.679
And what do you know, the cops are waiting for him.
1165
01:04:36.719 --> 01:04:39.079
The bitch turned him in. The here goes to prison,
1166
01:04:39.119 --> 01:04:42.119
and the movie for some reason, doesn't end here. She
1167
01:04:42.320 --> 01:04:44.199
ends up forgiving him and coming to visit him in
1168
01:04:44.280 --> 01:04:48.360
prison at least once. And you get and I want
1169
01:04:48.400 --> 01:04:51.480
to say this without interruption, this is important as a
1170
01:04:51.559 --> 01:04:54.960
viewer of this movie. I was okay with how this ended.
1171
01:04:55.000 --> 01:04:58.199
I was okay with him. He's terrible, but he's kind
1172
01:04:58.239 --> 01:05:00.440
of like the you know, the uh, the thief of
1173
01:05:00.480 --> 01:05:02.559
the Heart of Gold kind of a situation where it's
1174
01:05:02.639 --> 01:05:05.840
like he stole because he thought this is what he
1175
01:05:05.880 --> 01:05:08.079
should do for his daughter, and he's not a thinker,
1176
01:05:08.639 --> 01:05:10.679
and he you know, and he stayed in toys for
1177
01:05:10.760 --> 01:05:12.119
us because he didn't want to go to prison, and
1178
01:05:12.280 --> 01:05:14.519
he was as nice as he possibly could be, and
1179
01:05:14.599 --> 01:05:17.840
continue to steal because again, he thought this is what
1180
01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:21.039
he should be doing. At no point does the movie
1181
01:05:21.119 --> 01:05:23.840
portray any of this as for personal gain, as such,
1182
01:05:24.599 --> 01:05:26.800
like he's giving money to the kid, he's giving money
1183
01:05:26.840 --> 01:05:28.840
to buy things for the kids, and trying to help
1184
01:05:28.840 --> 01:05:30.960
people here, and it's one of those where like he
1185
01:05:31.039 --> 01:05:32.840
tries to leave the town better than he found it.
1186
01:05:33.360 --> 01:05:37.280
Here's the here's the problem. He does this speech at
1187
01:05:37.280 --> 01:05:39.280
the end of the movie where he's like, I did
1188
01:05:39.400 --> 01:05:42.000
I've done bad things, but I realize now that all
1189
01:05:42.199 --> 01:05:44.639
anyone really wanted of me was my time. I'm at
1190
01:05:44.679 --> 01:05:48.599
my presence, my attention, and i made all of these
1191
01:05:48.639 --> 01:05:51.000
mistakes and I'm truly repentant for it, and you know,
1192
01:05:51.039 --> 01:05:52.440
I'll spend the rest of my life trying to be
1193
01:05:52.480 --> 01:05:55.960
a better person. And Kirsten says, that's great, We'll see
1194
01:05:56.000 --> 01:05:58.199
you in the next Marvel movie, and she goes away
1195
01:05:58.639 --> 01:06:01.320
and the movie ends, you know, and you're left, you're
1196
01:06:01.480 --> 01:06:04.239
this is very important. You're led to believe that, like,
1197
01:06:04.519 --> 01:06:08.599
this guy had to come to Jesus found his way
1198
01:06:08.719 --> 01:06:12.000
and while and even though he's in prison forever, you
1199
01:06:12.079 --> 01:06:13.760
know that he was at least going to honor his
1200
01:06:13.800 --> 01:06:16.159
commitment to be a better person. Then they show the
1201
01:06:16.199 --> 01:06:21.400
crono where it said he escaped two more times, escape
1202
01:06:22.119 --> 01:06:24.079
and then got and then was sent back to prison again.
1203
01:06:24.719 --> 01:06:29.400
And I'm like, oh, so he's an unrepentant asshole who
1204
01:06:29.440 --> 01:06:30.639
I should have never felt sorry for.
1205
01:06:30.800 --> 01:06:34.639
And this movie is highly manipulative and his uh, he's
1206
01:06:34.719 --> 01:06:37.280
up for parole in twenty thirty six to twenty thirty seven.
1207
01:06:37.760 --> 01:06:39.960
So my son and I had the same thought when
1208
01:06:40.000 --> 01:06:41.719
we watched this movie. This was the Friday Night movie
1209
01:06:41.800 --> 01:06:44.159
that we watched, and we both thought, like, what was
1210
01:06:44.199 --> 01:06:47.079
the point When you make a movie based on a
1211
01:06:47.159 --> 01:06:50.960
true story, it's usually because you're celebrating that person or
1212
01:06:51.000 --> 01:06:54.559
there's something about that person worth learning about. What is
1213
01:06:54.639 --> 01:06:56.639
the takeaway from roof Man supposed to be?
1214
01:06:56.920 --> 01:06:56.960
What?
1215
01:06:57.360 --> 01:07:00.360
What is the impetus the motivation to make a movie
1216
01:07:00.400 --> 01:07:06.000
about a guy who steals, escapes prison, steals again, escapes prison,
1217
01:07:06.039 --> 01:07:09.239
steals again, rinse repeats. He never becomes a better person,
1218
01:07:09.840 --> 01:07:12.280
He just keeps becoming He's just the same asshole until
1219
01:07:12.320 --> 01:07:15.920
he dies. And is the point of this movie? Isn't
1220
01:07:15.920 --> 01:07:18.039
it fun to watch Channing Tatum run around to toys
1221
01:07:18.119 --> 01:07:21.239
r us? Because I feel like you could have done
1222
01:07:21.320 --> 01:07:24.119
that and with a different, better movie, and not base
1223
01:07:24.159 --> 01:07:28.679
it on this asshole's real life like Rufman's Okay, until
1224
01:07:28.719 --> 01:07:32.840
you realize this isn't really about a good person and
1225
01:07:32.960 --> 01:07:36.079
there's nothing good being said about this person, and then
1226
01:07:36.119 --> 01:07:38.000
it's like, well then this was a fucking waste of
1227
01:07:38.119 --> 01:07:39.960
my time. Your thoughts.
1228
01:07:41.360 --> 01:07:46.519
I mean, I was mostly disinterested in this movie. It's
1229
01:07:46.719 --> 01:07:53.679
not terribly compelling. It drags a lot. I don't like
1230
01:07:53.880 --> 01:07:58.880
Channing Tatum as a general rule, so I don't find
1231
01:07:58.960 --> 01:08:01.199
him compelling as an act actor or all that engaging
1232
01:08:01.239 --> 01:08:02.239
of a screen presence.
1233
01:08:03.000 --> 01:08:04.599
I throw the call to make him go boom.
1234
01:08:06.840 --> 01:08:12.840
I this was this movie felt. This movie felt like
1235
01:08:13.039 --> 01:08:15.400
a ninety like what should have been like an hour
1236
01:08:15.480 --> 01:08:19.800
long Hallmark special that got stretched north of ninety minutes because.
1237
01:08:20.560 --> 01:08:22.800
Movie this was an else sketch.
1238
01:08:24.960 --> 01:08:28.319
Not quite that bad again, Like there's some like sixty
1239
01:08:28.359 --> 01:08:32.199
minute with commercials Hallmark special about this that makes this
1240
01:08:32.319 --> 01:08:34.920
a little bit like slightly more palatable.
1241
01:08:35.079 --> 01:08:38.800
If you if you focus slightly in more on the technology.
1242
01:08:39.199 --> 01:08:40.600
This is an episode of Black Mirror.
1243
01:08:45.279 --> 01:08:49.199
Yeah, I mean, I don't agree that it fits with
1244
01:08:49.279 --> 01:08:51.399
the Black Mirror general motif, but I get what you're saying.
1245
01:08:51.600 --> 01:08:54.680
Like we're saying anything like anything in seasons whatever the
1246
01:08:55.720 --> 01:08:57.399
season before last was, I don't know.
1247
01:08:57.439 --> 01:08:59.439
I haven't watched Black Mirror in forever, so I couldn't
1248
01:08:59.479 --> 01:09:02.720
tell you, But like, this is an episode of television
1249
01:09:02.760 --> 01:09:04.800
in some respects, you could do it like you could
1250
01:09:04.840 --> 01:09:08.000
make it work as a like, hey, let's follow this
1251
01:09:08.319 --> 01:09:11.560
character and this actor and all that stuff as they
1252
01:09:11.640 --> 01:09:16.399
go around doing whatever they're doing. Like no, no, just no,
1253
01:09:18.119 --> 01:09:18.800
this isn't good.
1254
01:09:19.279 --> 01:09:21.199
Let me address Ronnie's comment here. So they did the
1255
01:09:21.239 --> 01:09:22.840
job of making you feel how everyone in his life
1256
01:09:22.880 --> 01:09:25.239
felt betrayed and confused. Great, I didn't sign up for that.
1257
01:09:26.479 --> 01:09:28.119
That's not how the movie was pitched, and I didn't
1258
01:09:28.119 --> 01:09:30.800
sign up for it. So if the idea is no, no, no, no,
1259
01:09:30.920 --> 01:09:32.720
this movie is good because it succeeded in doing what
1260
01:09:32.800 --> 01:09:35.800
it was doing. Okay, I'll accept your argument. Yes, it
1261
01:09:35.880 --> 01:09:37.920
successfully did what it sent out to do, except that
1262
01:09:37.920 --> 01:09:40.399
then I wouldn't have watched the movie. And I'm and
1263
01:09:40.479 --> 01:09:42.439
this is now the second movie in a row that's
1264
01:09:42.479 --> 01:09:49.439
a bait and fucking switch pagan. Robert, Well, let's I
1265
01:09:49.560 --> 01:09:50.039
froze again.
1266
01:09:50.600 --> 01:09:55.399
No, you're good. I don't like the lack of truth
1267
01:09:55.439 --> 01:09:57.399
and advertising around. A bunch of this stuff is really
1268
01:09:57.439 --> 01:09:59.640
starting to like, I've been annoyed by this for a while.
1269
01:09:59.680 --> 01:10:04.159
I'm it's catching up to everyone else. I'm everyone else, no,
1270
01:10:05.439 --> 01:10:07.840
not just not you specifically, Like I mean a lot
1271
01:10:07.880 --> 01:10:10.079
I've seen that sentiment about a bunch of these things
1272
01:10:10.159 --> 01:10:13.560
more regularly coming to the fore. Yeah, so I'm glad
1273
01:10:13.560 --> 01:10:17.720
about that. Yeah, I don't. I don't have a whole
1274
01:10:17.720 --> 01:10:19.079
lot good to say about that movie.
1275
01:10:19.439 --> 01:10:23.680
Hang On None is emotionally manipulating. But I signed up
1276
01:10:23.720 --> 01:10:25.800
for that. It told me what it was gonna do.
1277
01:10:26.199 --> 01:10:28.279
This guy who really loves Italian food is gonna open
1278
01:10:28.399 --> 01:10:32.880
up a restaurant run by Grandma's and you're gonna cross it.
1279
01:10:34.880 --> 01:10:35.159
Loss.
1280
01:10:35.319 --> 01:10:39.520
Yeah, you big Italian fairy. You're gonna weep like a woman. Okay,
1281
01:10:40.000 --> 01:10:42.000
sign me up. I'm here. And it did, and it
1282
01:10:42.079 --> 01:10:45.760
was successful, and yay, hooray. I didn't sign up for
1283
01:10:45.800 --> 01:10:48.600
that with roof Man, and it didn't tell me that
1284
01:10:48.640 --> 01:10:50.880
that's what it was gonna be. I was led to
1285
01:10:50.920 --> 01:10:55.000
believe it was a zany comedy starring uh Channing Tatum
1286
01:10:55.039 --> 01:10:57.520
and Peter Tinklige, where he was gonna, you know, run
1287
01:10:57.600 --> 01:10:59.800
around and do fun stuff naked and the toys r us.
1288
01:10:59.840 --> 01:11:01.359
That's what I signed up for. That's what my kids
1289
01:11:01.359 --> 01:11:05.239
signed up for. And we get that. But it's amidst
1290
01:11:05.279 --> 01:11:08.920
a drama that ends depressing, and it tells me that
1291
01:11:08.960 --> 01:11:14.119
the main character is not worth rooting for marketing movie
1292
01:11:14.199 --> 01:11:16.199
is a fucking tragedy and supplying to.
1293
01:11:16.239 --> 01:11:21.760
People I'm with you on that, Like, that's not I
1294
01:11:22.199 --> 01:11:23.319
don't disagree with any of that.
1295
01:11:23.479 --> 01:11:26.199
So anything else about Ruffman.
1296
01:11:28.279 --> 01:11:31.920
I think the other reason this got made was the
1297
01:11:32.039 --> 01:11:34.800
amount of nostalgia you can try and milk out of. Hey,
1298
01:11:34.960 --> 01:11:37.439
it's you know, the late nineties slash early two thousands.
1299
01:11:37.560 --> 01:11:40.199
So here's a Toy r Us and there's a blockbuster.
1300
01:11:40.399 --> 01:11:44.000
Everyone's walking around with a walkman, and.
1301
01:11:44.239 --> 01:11:47.479
Uh, look at all these PlayStation games and Xbox games
1302
01:11:47.479 --> 01:11:49.520
that he stole to sell to the pawn shop. Like, hey,
1303
01:11:49.600 --> 01:11:52.319
remember these titles. Here's Simpson's Hit and Run. Wasn't that
1304
01:11:52.359 --> 01:11:56.199
a great game? Yes it was, But it's a bunch
1305
01:11:56.239 --> 01:11:58.520
of stuff like that. It's like, I don't care.
1306
01:11:59.199 --> 01:12:02.000
It was as hiff, Like, the producers of this movie
1307
01:12:02.880 --> 01:12:04.880
really wanted to make a movie about Toys r Us
1308
01:12:05.439 --> 01:12:07.560
and they couldn't find a good script that featured it.
1309
01:12:07.960 --> 01:12:09.920
And then they found that and then like, in googling
1310
01:12:10.000 --> 01:12:13.079
anything about Toys r Us they found this guy lived
1311
01:12:13.119 --> 01:12:14.640
in one, and we're like, we'll make that movie. That way,
1312
01:12:14.680 --> 01:12:16.279
we can feature a Toys r Us in our movie
1313
01:12:17.279 --> 01:12:18.960
and didn't give this any more thought than that.
1314
01:12:21.720 --> 01:12:27.039
Yeah, that that kind of tracks like there's again, there's
1315
01:12:27.079 --> 01:12:29.520
a better way to try and hash some of this
1316
01:12:29.640 --> 01:12:31.600
out if you wanted to explore some of these things.
1317
01:12:31.680 --> 01:12:36.960
But as it stands, no, this was a big mess.
1318
01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:40.279
So I want to read the production stuff here because
1319
01:12:40.279 --> 01:12:43.079
maybe we'll fill some stuff in. The project was announced
1320
01:12:43.119 --> 01:12:46.199
in February twenty twenty four, with Derek cian Franz as
1321
01:12:46.319 --> 01:12:48.880
the director from a script he wrote with Kirk Gunn.
1322
01:12:49.319 --> 01:12:51.439
The screenplay was based on an earliest script by David
1323
01:12:51.479 --> 01:12:55.000
Stephen's and Peter Pertucci. Dylan Sellas and Chris Parker produced
1324
01:12:55.039 --> 01:12:58.800
through Limelight Production Company, alongside Jamie Patrick Cof and Lynette Howell.
1325
01:12:58.840 --> 01:13:02.399
Taylort Uh Channon Tantum was to start and Mendelsin and
1326
01:13:02.439 --> 01:13:04.800
Curson Dunch joined the cast in September of twenty twenty four.
1327
01:13:05.439 --> 01:13:08.720
October twenty twenty four, Miramax quite distribution rights to the project,
1328
01:13:08.840 --> 01:13:12.000
with Paramount distributing on its behalf in the US and
1329
01:13:12.000 --> 01:13:15.760
the United Kingdom, with financing handled by Aperture in like
1330
01:13:15.800 --> 01:13:19.560
a nine hundred other fucking yeah, this was like the.
1331
01:13:19.680 --> 01:13:22.399
Parade of who was involved in We were laughing our
1332
01:13:22.439 --> 01:13:24.880
asses off because the simply because the family guy did
1333
01:13:24.960 --> 01:13:28.680
that joke where it was twenty minutes of fucking production companies,
1334
01:13:29.000 --> 01:13:30.039
and when this movie did it.
1335
01:13:30.079 --> 01:13:33.000
We laughed hard because there were a lot of them.
1336
01:13:34.079 --> 01:13:36.319
All right, Yeah, there's nothing in the production that explains
1337
01:13:36.319 --> 01:13:37.279
anything about this movie.
1338
01:13:38.239 --> 01:13:40.159
Not a good movie does exist.
1339
01:13:41.199 --> 01:13:43.800
Gross twenty three million in the US and eleven million
1340
01:13:43.840 --> 01:13:46.199
and other territories were total thirty four million worldwide, and
1341
01:13:46.279 --> 01:13:51.079
it's opening first total box office run, so it was
1342
01:13:51.119 --> 01:13:54.279
like it was like somewhat profitable, and in a nineteen
1343
01:13:54.319 --> 01:13:57.279
million dollar budget, it made in its total thirty four
1344
01:13:57.319 --> 01:13:58.159
point seven million.
1345
01:13:58.239 --> 01:14:01.119
So yeah, so probably a little short of profitability.
1346
01:14:01.279 --> 01:14:06.359
But yeah, just look at the list. High Frequency Entertainment,
1347
01:14:06.439 --> 01:14:12.520
herding Lane, fifty one Entertainment, Limelight Paramount, first Base Bugs Bunny,
1348
01:14:12.520 --> 01:14:17.079
Second Base Bugs, Bunny. Al Right, he's on first. Yeah,
1349
01:14:17.720 --> 01:14:23.680
And now we go to run tomatoes for a roofman, uh.
1350
01:14:25.800 --> 01:14:28.039
I'm gonna predict that the scores are not in fact
1351
01:14:28.159 --> 01:14:35.000
through the roof. Wah wah, whah, I deserve that.
1352
01:14:35.119 --> 01:14:38.479
That's okay, alright, eighty seven percent on the Tomato Meter.
1353
01:14:39.359 --> 01:14:42.800
Top Critics drops it to seventy six verified audiences eighty five.
1354
01:14:42.880 --> 01:14:44.199
All audiences is eighty one.
1355
01:14:44.720 --> 01:14:45.880
Yeah again, that's about right.
1356
01:14:46.119 --> 01:14:50.000
Yeah. I mean, like, honestly, I was, and I'm gonna
1357
01:14:50.039 --> 01:14:51.399
let you do plugs after this because I gotta run
1358
01:14:51.399 --> 01:14:53.800
in the bathroom. But I was entertained well enough by
1359
01:14:53.840 --> 01:14:56.239
the movie is in terms of like, these are good actors,
1360
01:14:56.279 --> 01:14:58.039
these are good looking people. At like Kirsten duns that
1361
01:14:58.159 --> 01:15:02.279
like chatentating chatting Tatum. I like Peter Dinklinche as kind
1362
01:15:02.319 --> 01:15:06.760
of a drama, drama edy about this guy trying to
1363
01:15:06.960 --> 01:15:07.720
figure a shit out.
1364
01:15:08.079 --> 01:15:09.640
I remember what I was going to say about this
1365
01:15:09.760 --> 01:15:13.520
movie now, because you just you pinged it. Okay, we
1366
01:15:13.680 --> 01:15:16.159
need to have at some point a long conversation about
1367
01:15:16.199 --> 01:15:17.960
the negative effects of ted Lasso.
1368
01:15:19.239 --> 01:15:22.760
Okay, you can keep going. I'll be right back.
1369
01:15:23.560 --> 01:15:27.439
Okay, I don't know that I can just monologue about this.
1370
01:15:27.680 --> 01:15:30.760
But there's a couple of other TV shows that have
1371
01:15:30.880 --> 01:15:32.800
come out in the wake of ted Lasso that are
1372
01:15:32.880 --> 01:15:40.640
clearly aping ted Lasso, which is basically, let's make you
1373
01:15:40.720 --> 01:15:45.359
know thirty minute comedy episodes, but they're gonna be wrapped
1374
01:15:45.359 --> 01:15:48.199
around a core of something sad and you can then
1375
01:15:48.319 --> 01:15:50.439
laugh and cry at the same time and you know,
1376
01:15:50.560 --> 01:15:54.079
smile through your tears as emotional things are revealed, and
1377
01:15:54.279 --> 01:15:59.920
we all get to like process that way. And I'm
1378
01:16:00.000 --> 01:16:02.039
I'm not saying you should never be able to do that.
1379
01:16:02.399 --> 01:16:06.800
I'm saying trying to take everything and turn it into
1380
01:16:06.880 --> 01:16:10.039
that is not a good way to go to go forward.
1381
01:16:10.159 --> 01:16:14.760
And this is very much like sort of a ted
1382
01:16:14.920 --> 01:16:18.680
Lasso approach to it. I mean, if right down and
1383
01:16:18.760 --> 01:16:21.640
it would have landed exactly like that, if you didn't
1384
01:16:21.720 --> 01:16:25.399
have the like title cards at the end that are like, hey,
1385
01:16:25.479 --> 01:16:27.359
and here's what really happened. You know, he tried to
1386
01:16:27.520 --> 01:16:31.000
escape prison two more times unsuccessfully, and the woman that
1387
01:16:31.199 --> 01:16:34.560
you know he had this relationship with saw him only
1388
01:16:34.600 --> 01:16:37.399
again for the first time, like in ten years recently,
1389
01:16:37.640 --> 01:16:42.720
and that fun. And I blame ted Lasso for a
1390
01:16:42.760 --> 01:16:44.680
lot of the tone that seeped into a lot of
1391
01:16:44.720 --> 01:16:45.479
this kind of stuff.
1392
01:16:46.359 --> 01:16:47.960
Okay, I'm sorry I ran away from you. It was
1393
01:16:48.000 --> 01:16:52.600
either that or peda floor what I had to go
1394
01:16:52.640 --> 01:16:53.399
to the bathroom.
1395
01:16:55.720 --> 01:16:58.439
Yeah. I don't like what ted Lasso has done to
1396
01:16:58.800 --> 01:17:02.279
well television, these kinds of movies where it's just oh boy,
1397
01:17:02.359 --> 01:17:04.600
it'll be a little bit like saccharine funny and then
1398
01:17:05.159 --> 01:17:07.680
you'll cry, you'll laugh through your tears as we reveal
1399
01:17:08.079 --> 01:17:10.680
tragic emotional stuff and this is how we all heal.
1400
01:17:12.039 --> 01:17:15.079
That's fine. I don't hate ted Lasso, and be very
1401
01:17:15.159 --> 01:17:18.319
clear about that, Like, I'm not trying to shoot that show.
1402
01:17:19.560 --> 01:17:22.920
I'm saying people took the wrong lessons from it, because
1403
01:17:23.000 --> 01:17:25.159
let's try to make everything look and sound and feel
1404
01:17:25.239 --> 01:17:27.239
like ted Lasso is a bad lesson to take from
1405
01:17:27.319 --> 01:17:31.079
its success. And this is a ted Lasso movie.
1406
01:17:31.960 --> 01:17:37.319
Okay, Yeah, I was enjoying the movie literally to the
1407
01:17:37.399 --> 01:17:39.279
current istat that I saw that he escaped again, and
1408
01:17:39.319 --> 01:17:42.920
then I felt too emotionally manipulated. I was already kind
1409
01:17:42.960 --> 01:17:45.720
of struggling with why are we telling this story? But
1410
01:17:46.279 --> 01:17:51.119
I accepted it because the character in the movie says,
1411
01:17:52.079 --> 01:17:54.119
by the end of this thing, I realized that all
1412
01:17:54.199 --> 01:17:55.680
I ever needed to do was be there for the
1413
01:17:55.720 --> 01:17:58.600
people who love me. Great good ending. I agree with
1414
01:17:58.680 --> 01:18:02.880
that premise. And then and then that's not really what happened,
1415
01:18:03.239 --> 01:18:06.119
and I'm like, why would we go on this journey?
1416
01:18:06.199 --> 01:18:06.319
Then?
1417
01:18:06.960 --> 01:18:08.760
So I've said that three times.
1418
01:18:09.600 --> 01:18:12.840
Well, at that point, what you should do is change
1419
01:18:12.920 --> 01:18:16.239
the names and do inspired by true events. And then
1420
01:18:16.279 --> 01:18:19.760
actually have the character reach the heartwarming conclusion.
1421
01:18:19.600 --> 01:18:23.079
Right, No, instantly, they fucking double and triple down and
1422
01:18:23.119 --> 01:18:25.720
show you what he really looked like, including his fucking
1423
01:18:25.720 --> 01:18:26.920
prison photos.
1424
01:18:27.239 --> 01:18:29.760
Which you should have just done. Like, if you want
1425
01:18:29.800 --> 01:18:31.479
to do that, then just commit to it and do
1426
01:18:31.560 --> 01:18:34.800
it that way from the beginning. Yeah, show the guy
1427
01:18:34.960 --> 01:18:37.840
being a piece of crap manipulator and will all go
1428
01:18:37.920 --> 01:18:38.680
along for the ride.
1429
01:18:38.960 --> 01:18:42.000
That's the thing. If if you don't make him first
1430
01:18:42.039 --> 01:18:43.359
of all, don't put Channing Tatum in this.
1431
01:18:44.000 --> 01:18:46.720
If you if you find with Channing Tatum never working
1432
01:18:46.760 --> 01:18:48.760
again in movies, that's very fine with me.
1433
01:18:49.640 --> 01:18:52.560
If instead you do it with like, you know, today's
1434
01:18:52.640 --> 01:18:55.680
version of Tim Roth, you know, and in the in
1435
01:18:55.800 --> 01:18:59.720
the movie is him being a manipulative, scumbag piece of shit.
1436
01:19:00.319 --> 01:19:04.199
And Blow Blow is a really good example of you
1437
01:19:04.279 --> 01:19:06.439
can have a movie where the whole movie he's terrible
1438
01:19:06.880 --> 01:19:08.600
and you're just kind of following his adventure and in
1439
01:19:08.680 --> 01:19:12.039
the end he's in prison alone hallucinating, being visited by
1440
01:19:12.079 --> 01:19:17.319
his daughter because everyone has abandoned him. Okay, well, then
1441
01:19:17.680 --> 01:19:19.479
the purpose of watching a movie like that is to
1442
01:19:19.520 --> 01:19:23.880
see how crime doesn't pay cool, we get it, you know,
1443
01:19:24.520 --> 01:19:29.119
being a cocaine drug Lord ends badly for most people. Okay,
1444
01:19:29.399 --> 01:19:31.079
I love Blow. I think Blow is a great movie.
1445
01:19:31.439 --> 01:19:35.680
I would watch Blow again right now. If this is
1446
01:19:35.760 --> 01:19:38.920
more like Blow, I'm with you. They went out of
1447
01:19:39.000 --> 01:19:41.920
their way to make him excessively likable, as if it's
1448
01:19:42.000 --> 01:19:44.479
the problem with the world is they wouldn't let him
1449
01:19:44.479 --> 01:19:46.720
get away with stealing once again.
1450
01:19:47.279 --> 01:19:49.079
They tried to turn him into Ted Lasso.
1451
01:19:49.399 --> 01:19:54.000
And yeah, oh, I guess I wasn't gonna ask you
1452
01:19:54.079 --> 01:19:57.000
because I didn't want to hear it. Now I understand
1453
01:19:57.000 --> 01:19:58.640
what you mean by ted Lasso. You're talking about the
1454
01:19:58.680 --> 01:20:03.039
peach dragon effect, you know, I you know, this magical
1455
01:20:03.119 --> 01:20:06.399
creature comes and makes everything you know and leaves the
1456
01:20:06.439 --> 01:20:08.520
town better than he found it and then goes on
1457
01:20:08.640 --> 01:20:12.720
to help another you know, another boy in danger. That's
1458
01:20:12.760 --> 01:20:15.680
what you're talking about. And yeah, I guess I see that.
1459
01:20:17.399 --> 01:20:19.960
Well now again, like I'm talking about a sort of
1460
01:20:20.000 --> 01:20:23.840
a tonal tonal, a system of like tone and execution
1461
01:20:24.039 --> 01:20:30.279
around stories that Ted Lasso does fairly well. But everyone
1462
01:20:30.399 --> 01:20:32.039
decided we're going to try and make all of our
1463
01:20:32.119 --> 01:20:34.920
stories now like this, in this tone, in this style,
1464
01:20:35.520 --> 01:20:38.680
where yes, it's like deeply human and oh, there's so
1465
01:20:38.840 --> 01:20:42.039
much tragedy that you have to cry through. But we're
1466
01:20:42.039 --> 01:20:44.439
going to have a you know, comedic actor like Steve
1467
01:20:44.520 --> 01:20:46.439
Carell in the lead, so we're gonna be laughing along
1468
01:20:46.479 --> 01:20:47.359
the way through our tears.
1469
01:20:47.479 --> 01:20:50.359
Like yeah, no, I can't remember if it was with
1470
01:20:50.479 --> 01:20:52.359
you or somebody else, but it was something I saw
1471
01:20:52.479 --> 01:20:57.760
recently where I compared it to Pete Dragon and that
1472
01:20:58.000 --> 01:21:00.880
was like the whole point of my TikTok. I cannot,
1473
01:21:00.960 --> 01:21:02.399
for the life and me remember what it was, but
1474
01:21:02.439 --> 01:21:05.159
it's a fairly standard, like if that's what they were
1475
01:21:05.199 --> 01:21:06.840
going for here, now that you mention it and I
1476
01:21:06.840 --> 01:21:09.359
you can think about it until now that the movie
1477
01:21:09.720 --> 01:21:10.159
I saw.
1478
01:21:10.119 --> 01:21:12.039
Yeah, I saw your TikTok on it it was about
1479
01:21:12.079 --> 01:21:14.319
how like, okay, you're here until the kid outgrows you.
1480
01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:18.720
Yeah, doesn't, well, well you leave the kids safe for
1481
01:21:18.760 --> 01:21:20.680
them when you found him with a town or whatever,
1482
01:21:23.039 --> 01:21:25.560
you know, that sort of thing. I wish I remember
1483
01:21:25.560 --> 01:21:28.319
what movie I was comparing it to, but it doesn't matter.
1484
01:21:28.520 --> 01:21:31.760
My point is that if this is about, you know,
1485
01:21:31.880 --> 01:21:33.840
here we have chatting Tatum and he will come into
1486
01:21:33.880 --> 01:21:36.640
this town and he will make Kirston's duncan Kirsten dunst
1487
01:21:36.680 --> 01:21:39.000
life better and he will make everyone's life better and
1488
01:21:39.119 --> 01:21:41.520
then he will go to prison because that's what he
1489
01:21:41.600 --> 01:21:41.880
must do.
1490
01:21:43.000 --> 01:21:43.199
Eh.
1491
01:21:43.439 --> 01:21:46.880
Okay, that's not really the story that you told. And
1492
01:21:47.000 --> 01:21:49.880
I don't think Kirson's Kirsten Dunt's life was better because
1493
01:21:49.920 --> 01:21:50.199
of him.
1494
01:21:50.680 --> 01:21:53.840
No, it was like it wasn't. And my problem is again,
1495
01:21:53.880 --> 01:21:57.119
it's kind of a tone thing where it's like, hey,
1496
01:21:57.279 --> 01:21:59.640
look at the look at the good, and then you know, okay,
1497
01:21:59.680 --> 01:22:01.760
there's a lot of bad, but we still having a
1498
01:22:01.800 --> 01:22:04.239
good time along the way, so you can laugh and
1499
01:22:04.359 --> 01:22:06.479
you can cry and you can heal, and everyone's better
1500
01:22:06.560 --> 01:22:10.279
by the end of it. And again, like that, that
1501
01:22:10.439 --> 01:22:13.680
whole thing is just yeah, you not everything should be
1502
01:22:13.760 --> 01:22:16.279
done that way. But because you have to pitch these things,
1503
01:22:16.319 --> 01:22:19.199
you pitch this as okay, But what if ted Lasso
1504
01:22:19.359 --> 01:22:20.960
was a guy who escaped from prison and lived in
1505
01:22:21.000 --> 01:22:21.720
a toys r us.
1506
01:22:22.279 --> 01:22:26.119
See, my pitch would have been okay, misdoubt fire. But
1507
01:22:26.199 --> 01:22:28.760
he's not in drag and he's just a good looking
1508
01:22:28.880 --> 01:22:30.640
guy and he lives in the toys r us and
1509
01:22:30.720 --> 01:22:34.680
it's chatting to what do you think, Oh, well, that's wonderful.
1510
01:22:35.680 --> 01:22:43.520
Except like there's no there's no like conflict between It's
1511
01:22:43.560 --> 01:22:47.199
just like, oh, yeah, this is this is a confused
1512
01:22:47.479 --> 01:22:48.199
not good movie.
1513
01:22:48.560 --> 01:22:52.479
Yeah, well, confused not good is the phrase to pace
1514
01:22:52.520 --> 01:22:55.199
here on the Ratlism Broadcasting Network. So that is the
1515
01:22:55.359 --> 01:22:57.720

1569
01:25:57.600 --> 01:26:01.279
Marketing push, so yeah, oh, nothing about it.
1570
01:26:01.880 --> 01:26:07.600
It's uh romantic comedy starring Kevin James. He gets stood

If you want to, if that has to be done,
1580
01:26:33.039 --> 01:26:35.439
like on one of the adult websites, because of the
1581
01:26:35.479 --> 01:26:36.319

TikTok feed is now full of muppetdaches.
1598
01:27:26.039 --> 01:27:29.479

like no pants on and be like, oh my god,
1602
01:27:37.000 --> 01:27:38.680

1603
01:27:38.800 --> 01:27:39.279

1604
01:27:40.159 --> 01:27:42.600

A miss I'm gonna let her come on, I'm gonna
1610
01:27:54.960 --> 01:27:56.359
let her say her thing. I'm gonna beat her up
1611
01:27:56.399 --> 01:27:59.279
too much. And then because I because here's the thing,
1612
01:27:59.399 --> 01:27:59.840
I don't have.
1613
01:28:00.159 --> 01:28:01.920
Let her get her hope spots in early before you.
1614
01:28:03.760 --> 01:28:07.800
I don't. Here's the thing. Essentially, tomorrow night, it's a
1615
01:28:07.960 --> 01:28:11.319
dark match, and she's gonna get a lot of offense
1616
01:28:11.399 --> 01:28:14.640
and and I'm gonna take the bumps accordingly, and then
1617
01:28:14.680 --> 01:28:17.319
we're gonna edit it for TV. And that's easy, is TikTok.
1618
01:28:18.319 --> 01:28:19.840
And it's gonna look like I beat the ship out
1619
01:28:19.880 --> 01:28:20.079
of her.
1620
01:28:21.319 --> 01:28:27.800

1622
01:28:32.239 --> 01:28:42.640

1626
01:28:50.960 --> 01:28:55.159

1627
01:28:55.239 --> 01:28:58.079

1633
01:29:10.239 --> 01:29:17.279
else's podcast, despite despite being being said of me that
1634
01:29:17.560 --> 01:29:19.600
everyone hates me and that I've pushed everyone away. I
1635
01:29:19.680 --> 01:29:22.840
alienate people is the word that was once used. And
1636
01:29:22.920 --> 01:29:24.800
it's not just coming from some quarters, It's coming from
1637
01:29:24.800 --> 01:29:27.359

1671
01:31:54.439 --> 01:31:56.279
not entertained by my frivolity?
1672
01:31:57.680 --> 01:32:01.640
I was trying to provide a little bit of uh
1673
01:32:03.039 --> 01:32:05.239
reaction to the titles you've chosen, but I didn't know
1674
01:32:05.319 --> 01:32:07.479
how to mime something about the way we were so.
1675
01:32:10.279 --> 01:32:13.279
Like looking in the past, the way we were. Anyway,
1676
01:32:14.399 --> 01:32:17.239
love songs for your sweeties. It's done by AI and
1677
01:32:17.359 --> 01:32:21.359
my wild imagination. That's what you should be listening to anyway.
1678
01:32:22.079 --> 01:32:24.520
Finish off the plug cs that Rob can talk UH.

Society of Magical.
1687
01:32:55.840 --> 01:32:59.479
Necros that makes things awkward and.
1688
01:33:01.319 --> 01:33:07.119
They cloned Tyrone. Robert going on in your world very little.
1689
01:33:07.920 --> 01:33:10.239
I cover mixed martial arts and professional wrestling over at
1690
01:33:10.239 --> 01:33:13.239
four one onemania dot com. This last Saturday was UFC
1691
01:33:13.680 --> 01:33:18.840
Vegas one sixteen, headlined by Mario Bautista and Venezia SOLOVERA
1692
01:33:20.359 --> 01:33:22.399
full report in the mmas on a four on Onemania
1693
01:33:22.479 --> 01:33:25.079
dot com. The four to one one Pound MMA podcast
1694
01:33:25.199 --> 01:33:29.479
now goes live on Sundays on the four on one
1695
01:33:29.520 --> 01:33:33.560
Wrestling and Entertainment YouTube channel. So go give that a follow.
1696
01:33:34.079 --> 01:33:36.880
I'm gonna start doing that at a slightly more reasonable hour,
1697
01:33:37.000 --> 01:33:39.920
I think, because the last few weeks it's been very
1698
01:33:40.000 --> 01:33:42.079
late for a variety of reasons. But I should be
1699
01:33:42.119 --> 01:33:44.800
able to get on the schedule. There there's no UFC
1700
01:33:44.920 --> 01:33:48.640
event this Saturday, but I cover SmackDown on Fridays. This
1701
01:33:48.800 --> 01:33:53.039
last SmackDown was actually uh solid, would have been a
1702
01:33:53.079 --> 01:33:56.920
real killer two hour show. As a three hour show,
1703
01:33:57.279 --> 01:34:01.319
it fell short of very good status. But that's where
1704
01:34:01.359 --> 01:34:04.119
we are. SmackDown desperately needs help. It's needed help for
1705
01:34:04.199 --> 01:34:08.640
a while. No one just wants to admit it, but well,
1706
01:34:08.720 --> 01:34:11.720
here we are, and hey Mark. This Friday, Jade Cargill
1707
01:34:11.800 --> 01:34:14.800
is having her first defense of the WWE Women's Championship.
1708
01:34:15.439 --> 01:34:16.399
How long has she had it for?
1709
01:34:19.359 --> 01:34:31.079
Last year she beat Tiffany Stratton at Oh Not Survivor Series?
1710
01:34:34.920 --> 01:34:37.239
Was that long ago? And she hasn't had a single defense?
1711
01:34:38.279 --> 01:34:44.439
Yes, that's kind of the problem. Hang on, let's see
1712
01:34:44.760 --> 01:34:57.039
she won. She won it Saturday night's main event, which
1713
01:34:57.079 --> 01:35:03.399
would have been uh November first.
1714
01:35:05.640 --> 01:35:09.439
This company is run by monkeys. Speaking of monkeys, thank
1715
01:35:09.479 --> 01:35:12.399
you for joining us here in triple feature. He's Robert.
1716
01:35:13.279 --> 01:35:16.920
I'm not watching basketball anymore tonight. Be well, be safe
1717
01:35:18.760 --> 01:35:22.800
you will. No, I I turned the game off when
1718
01:35:22.920 --> 01:35:25.680
Yale beat Howard, and I've been focusing on you, my love,
1719
01:35:25.760 --> 01:35:26.720
the entirety of this one.
1720
01:35:26.760 --> 01:35:29.119
No, No, I'm that's not what I said. You said,
1721
01:35:29.119 --> 01:35:31.520
I'm not watching any more basketball tonight, and I'm saying, eh,
1722
01:35:31.600 --> 01:35:32.760
you're gonna turn something else on?
1723
01:35:33.199 --> 01:35:35.439
No, no, no, no. The wife is waiting for me
1724
01:35:35.560 --> 01:35:38.000
in the bedroom. So and I don't have anything to
1725
01:35:38.039 --> 01:35:38.800
bet and I'm not betting.
1726
01:35:38.920 --> 01:35:41.800
At what point would that stop you from turning on basketball?
1727
01:35:41.920 --> 01:35:44.399
In the background, hear me out, I don't have any
1728
01:35:44.439 --> 01:35:47.800
further bets this evening. So I won the one bet
1729
01:35:47.880 --> 01:35:49.880
that I placed. I'm not placing another one. So no,
1730
01:35:49.960 --> 01:35:51.199
I have no reason to watch the NBA.
1731
01:35:51.359 --> 01:35:53.800
I appreciate the fact that you don't actually care about
1732
01:35:53.840 --> 01:35:54.279
the sport.
1733
01:35:55.479 --> 01:35:59.119
The NBA is so bad and it's this close is
1734
01:35:59.199 --> 01:36:01.199
just starting like a whole new podcast with you where
1735
01:36:01.199 --> 01:36:04.079
all we do is yap. But as the kids would say,
1736
01:36:04.199 --> 01:36:06.880
but yeah, the NBA is so bad right now. It
1737
01:36:07.000 --> 01:36:10.159
is utterly unwatchable. Like the college game I watched between
1738
01:36:10.239 --> 01:36:13.720
Yale and Howard was more interesting that I watched the NBA.
1739
01:36:13.880 --> 01:36:19.039
And it's two hours of overpaid morons bricking basketballs like
1740
01:36:19.119 --> 01:36:21.840
I used to an elementary school. It's awful.
1741
01:36:23.520 --> 01:36:25.439
I'll take your word for it. I haven't actually like
1742
01:36:25.600 --> 01:36:28.800
watched or followed an NBA season in like these.
1743
01:36:28.640 --> 01:36:31.000
Guys play the worst game of horse I've ever seen,
1744
01:36:31.439 --> 01:36:34.680
as they shoot around the key and nobody drives into
1745
01:36:34.720 --> 01:36:37.039
the goddamn paint. And and on the occasion that they
1746
01:36:37.079 --> 01:36:39.880
do the other the basketball and net hates them so
1747
01:36:39.960 --> 01:36:41.319
much it rejects the dunk.
1748
01:36:42.439 --> 01:36:45.600
And everyone gets fouled a left, right, and center. No
1749
01:36:45.680 --> 01:36:46.479
one calls flopping.
1750
01:36:47.600 --> 01:36:50.159
Look whoever's playing right now, I can foul them from here.
1751
01:36:51.800 --> 01:36:55.039
It's that they they've adopted the soccer posture.
1752
01:36:55.560 --> 01:37:00.720
Yeah, along with the flopping. Yep, it's it's unwatchable. I
1753
01:37:00.800 --> 01:37:04.119
would rather at this point, I've shifted my my betting
1754
01:37:04.239 --> 01:37:08.479
focus to tech, ladies tennis, and soccer because I'm more
1755
01:37:08.520 --> 01:37:11.079
successful there and they're more interesting sports to watch. Those
1756
01:37:11.119 --> 01:37:12.720
women kick some ass.
1757
01:37:13.159 --> 01:37:15.640
I assume you've not been gambling on the Olympics, then
1758
01:37:16.199 --> 01:37:20.560
I have not. Of all the things you could have gambled.
1759
01:37:20.199 --> 01:37:23.960
On ladies, tennis and soccer, Internet.
1760
01:37:23.680 --> 01:37:26.119
You should have been gambling on the Americans and curling.
1761
01:37:26.159 --> 01:37:27.319
We're kind of doing real well.
1762
01:37:28.960 --> 01:37:31.279
Why how are the women's hockey teams? Are they any good?
1763
01:37:31.880 --> 01:37:34.960
I don't know. I don't think they've done hockey yet.
1764
01:37:35.039 --> 01:37:37.239
I think hockey is the back they were doing hockey
1765
01:37:37.279 --> 01:37:38.119
today women's talking.
1766
01:37:38.199 --> 01:37:40.279
Okay again, I don't know. I haven't watched a lot.
1767
01:37:40.319 --> 01:37:41.920
I only know that because I went to put tennis
1768
01:37:41.960 --> 01:37:43.520
on and there was like an icon on my Roku
1769
01:37:43.600 --> 01:37:47.079
box to care watch the Olympics.
1770
01:37:46.680 --> 01:37:50.159
And no, I don't want to watch athletic excellence.
1771
01:37:51.359 --> 01:37:52.920
No, I want to watch stuff I can gamble on
1772
01:37:53.640 --> 01:38:01.239
and win money quickly, which I did today. He word, yes, No,
1773
01:38:01.439 --> 01:38:02.159
I didn't bet.
1774
01:38:02.079 --> 01:38:05.279
On you Mytory month. You bet on Yale.
1775
01:38:07.159 --> 01:38:09.640
Listen. It was a timing thing. There was a lot
1776
01:38:09.720 --> 01:38:12.640
going on with this, a very it's a very mathematical thing.
1777
01:38:12.680 --> 01:38:15.880
I'm doing, Mark Nott. We know where Mark stands.
1778
01:38:15.960 --> 01:38:19.840
Everybody stop trying your bike.
1779
01:38:19.960 --> 01:38:21.920
Lee sitting courtside is so disappointed.
1780
01:38:23.680 --> 01:38:26.079
You're happy now you got your digs in? Can I go?
1781
01:38:26.680 --> 01:38:27.479
Are we done? Now?
1782
01:38:28.039 --> 01:38:29.720
You're the one who controls that, not me.
1783
01:38:29.960 --> 01:38:32.239
Do say you're You're the one still doing bits there.
1784
01:38:34.880 --> 01:38:36.520
I didn't get enough of him out of my system
1785
01:38:36.560 --> 01:38:37.880
talking about the terrible movies.
1786
01:38:38.159 --> 01:38:41.760
He's Heckel, I'm Jekyll. This has been this fucking triple feature.
1787
01:38:41.840 --> 01:39:03.079
Good night cat the gin Catkin got got Catkin
