he's like, well, that can't be true. 88 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,000 So I'm going to go check it out. 89 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,000 He goes check it out and immediately gets laid very much. 90 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000 Yeah, you're you're the new guy. 91 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000 You're the guy on top of a fairy tale. 92 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000 The guy from out of town. 93 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000 But into that market, the double headed elephant. 94 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,000 Fantastic. 95 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,000 All of those eyeballs in that jar. 96 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:21,000 I don't know how many times I've seen this movie, but I know that every time I have seen this movie that has got me to laugh my ass off. 97 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:29,000 Every time. Well, because it's not it's not just it's the it's the weird little popping noise that happens every time the eyeballs irises show up out of nowhere. 98 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,000 Just like it's very kind of like not quite Looney Tunes, but almost like a nod. 99 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,000 No, I think it is very Looney Tunes. 100 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,000 I think that the nod that you're talking I think that is one hundred percent. 101 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,000 I think they were like, no, it was Looney Tunes is shit. 102 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:52,000 And our first look at Princess Una played by Kate McGowan, not to be confused with Kate McKinnon. 103 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,000 If you don't know who Kate McGowan is, you're wrong. 104 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,000 And Ditchwater Sal played by Melanie Hill. 105 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,000 And good God, I love the pricing system. 106 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:08,000 It might be the color of your hair or all of your memories before you were three. 107 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:15,000 That was oh my God, I can't even fully explain how much I love that creativity on that. 108 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,000 I don't think I've ever seen that anywhere before or since. 109 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000 That's that's that's old school fairy. 110 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:28,000 That's like kind of like the old legends of the fairy world that was that you don't know any of them. 111 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:36,000 When you make yeah, when you when you make a deal with the fairy folk, they take the price that you have to pay are obscure things like your, you know, 112 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,000 your name or the memories. Oh, OK. 113 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000 Stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. 114 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:54,000 OK, I can see that. The price for this very particular flower that very much like, wow, the whole movie is based off of this flower. 115 00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:00,000 And like six other things like this movie is so perfectly everything in it is so perfectly tied together. 116 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000 This is one of those you that the studio could not interfere. 117 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,000 Otherwise, everything would fall apart. Like, right. Yeah. This was one of those. 118 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,000 The flower is they still got Claire Danes in the bath, though. 119 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,000 So, you know, some concessions were made that. 120 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000 OK, I never read the book, so I actually don't know if that's part of the book. 121 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,000 So I have nothing to say on that one. I don't know. 122 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000 The price of the flower is a kiss. 123 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,000 Yeah, and then some I like that's like if I can't liberate you, what do you want from me? 124 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:41,000 Nine months later, a baby shows up at the wall. 125 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:49,000 And the look, the look that the guard is giving him when he drops off the baby like, hmm. 126 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,000 This is this is why we don't let people go through the wall. Shit like this happens. 127 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,000 See, they don't have prophylactics over there. 128 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:03,000 Right. Yeah. 18 years pass and Tristan is off to become a man. 129 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,000 And I love the Ian McKellen like this is in the story about how he became a boy. 130 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:15,000 It's the story of how he became a man and man Charlie Cox coming in. 131 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000 The most adorkable care. 132 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:26,000 I think Tristan Thorne is the Thorne is the like most perfectly adorkable character in all of cinema history. 133 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:34,000 He's perfect when he when he puts on the warrior vibe, it makes sense when he's playing goofy and like kind of useless. 134 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,000 It makes sense. He rushed this role. 135 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:48,000 Totally. By the way, in case you're not familiar with who I'm talking about, this is the actor who plays Daredevil all the way back in like his film debut. 136 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,000 Yeah. And Matthew Vaughn fought really, really hard for Charlie Cox. 137 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:59,000 Turned down like I didn't want to Caprio didn't want like any of these big, big names that were coming through. 138 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000 He turned them all down and he fought for Charlie Cox. 139 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:14,000 Sometimes you need to just trust the director often most of the time, most of the time, trust, trust the director. 140 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,000 When he goes up to Victoria's window and then not like throws that rock and they're like, it's Humphrey. 141 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:25,000 And then they come out and they see it's him, just the disappointment. My God, I felt I felt that. 142 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000 I know you did too. Ouch. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. 143 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,000 Just come to like the girl. Yeah. 144 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:38,000 The girl you have a crush on, like

you go up to try to take your chance, come out there disappointed that you're not another person. 145 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:44,000 Oh, oh, God. Oh, that is just painful. 146 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:54,000 And then that did I leave something at the shop? Oh, he's standing there throwing rocks at your window, holding flowers in the street. 147 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,000 And you're like, what do you want? What do you think, bitch? 148 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,000 Poor Tristan, poor, poor, dumb, thirsty Tristan. 149 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:12,000 And God, what a way to just make me think of younger me and how unbelievably pathetic I was. 150 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,000 Oh, I know. Yeah, yeah, it hits. It hits. It stings. 151 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,000 But then Henry Cavill shows up as Humphrey to fence and humiliate. 152 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:34,000 And I think this is the first on screen appearance of Henry Cavill where you actually see the adult version of Henry Cavill that actually is going to be Superman. 153 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:42,000 Because if you go watch The Count of Monte Cristo and you see him as Albert Mondego, he does not look like he's going to grow up and be Superman. 154 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,000 He is one baby faced little pretty boy. 155 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,000 Do you remember that movie? 156 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:55,000 No, no, I don't think so. I'm trying to remember if I ever actually saw it, but I don't remember. 157 00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,000 Very, very. I have to say very, very big mistake if you skipped it. 158 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:06,000 Like that is remember the Titans level like mistake because that one. 159 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,000 I mean, I know. Yeah, no. OK. 160 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,000 Well, we'll definitely get into that one another time. 161 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:22,000 I know. I know. I've seen at least four different versions of the of the three musketeers. 162 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:30,000 So, you know, I know Hollywood has a thing when it comes to to Alexander Dumas books. So, you know, I guess I don't know. 163 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:37,000 And I will say the worst version of the three musketeers movie is probably still my favorite. 164 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:44,000 Oh, you're talking about the one Leonardo DiCaprio, Kiefer Sutherland, Oliver Platt and Charlie Sheen. 165 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:51,000 Yes, that was the man in the iron mask. Yes. No, no, no. I got I got to say that was probably the man in the iron mask. 166 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:58,000 That was three musketeers. The man in the iron mask had Leonardo DiCaprio and Jeremy Irons. 167 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,000 Both that was also I have I don't know. 168 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:09,000 But both those Athos and Aramis were played by Kiefer Sutherland, Oliver Platt and Charlie Sheen. 169 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,000 Oh, I remember that is it is nothing. I wasn't good fun. 170 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:21,000 No, I

remember that. And yeah, I have to agree. It is definitely the worst one, but it is also my favorite. 171 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,000 I'm right there with you. 172 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,000 But I could have sworn that that was that that was that they called that one the man in the iron mask. 173 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000 They didn't call it three musketeers, I thought. No, it was it was three musketeers movie, obviously. 174 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,000 But they but they know I hands down guarantee you. Yeah. 175 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,000 Because that was I saw them too close together. 176 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:45,000 I remember that was the first three musketeers movie to come out after I read the book the first time. 177 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:52,000 So and I will say like the three musketeers movie that came out like 10 years after that dynamite movie. 178 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,000 Absolutely amazing. The sword fights, everything about it was fricking perfect. 179 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:02,000 Wasn't funny. And that's what that's the only reason otherwise perfect movie. 180 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:12,000 It just wasn't funny. But back to this absolute amazing this Victoria showing up to his work and oh, she is horrible. 181 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,000 And he is damn dumb. 182 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:24,000 Dude, that was his job. And just I mean, like he had to know it was going to just had these like I'm going to do this. 183 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,000 It's going to be romantic and she's going to see it and it's going to and she's going to see what she's worth to me. 184 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,000 The movie never explained that, but I feel that's what he thought. 185 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:45,000 Yeah, it's like I take a gamble here because like she's like she's like I don't understand Victoria, honestly, like as a character, like he's kind of conniving. 186 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:51,000 But that will because like, OK, so he's disappointed to see him, but she gets that he's into her. 187 00:16:51,000 --> 00:17:00,000 So first thing she does is start toying with them, showing up at the shop saying, would you like to walk me home knowing full well that he's going to get in trouble for that. 188 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000 And he doesn't just get in trouble. He gets fired from his job. 189 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:15,000 And then when he shows up, like because clearly he's an idiot, he shows up with a full picnic spread of like really good wine and food. 190 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:22,000 He goes along with it and actually starts to seem appreciative, actually seems to like like she kind of likes the guy. 191 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,000 But also at the same time starts telling him about how she's going to be getting married to Humphrey pretty soon. 192 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:33,000 But I think the middle of the movie throws a perfect explanation on to Victoria's character. 193 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:42,000 She's so shallow that Tristan can't even tell Yvain about her. 194 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:47,000 Like he can't even tell her what she's like because she's so shallow. 195 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,000 There's she's not like anything. 196 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:58,000 So I think her character was just shallow and like maybe the prettiest one in the village. 197 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,000 So Tristan was like her. 198 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,000 I guess.

00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,000 OK. No, that was it. 362 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,000 Go ahead. 363 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,000 Can you. Oh, yeah. 364 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,000 My note on this. Bam. 365 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,000 Crashing into a star and then Tristan, I'm a go get it. 366 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:28,000 The princes have their ordeal and Victoria's like, oh, a falling star. 367 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,000 And he's like, I will go get it for you or your hand. 368 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,000 Yeah. And let's let's not lie. 369 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,000 We have all been in that situation. 370 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,000 We are so desperate to protect to impress a girl that we will do. 371 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:45,000 We will vow ahead of time premeditatively to do something profoundly stupid. 372 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,000 And we will follow through. 373 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:54,000 Correct. And the thing that we hopefully learn some point in our life, you can't buy love. 374 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,000 Dumbass. That's not how that works. 375 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:08,000 Michelle or the star falls and first look at witchy Michelle Pfeiffer and and at a shimmering Claire Danes. 376 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:15,000 Again, fantastic casting for a star, which how you even think to cast a star. 377 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,000 But they nailed it. Like, fantastic. 378 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,000 Well, I mean, it did. 379 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:28,000 I remember in the credits, it did say that the Neil Gaiman book was they gave credit both to Neil Gaiman as the writer and another guy whose name I'm forgetting as the illustrator. 380 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000 So I'm guessing this was some sort of illustrated book. 381 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,000 So maybe they just looked at the picture and went, who does this look like that? 382 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,000 You know, very well. I don't know. Having never having never seen it. 383 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,000 I don't know. That's a good question. Yeah. 384 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:55,000 Pfeiffer goes and wakes the other witches, witches played by Joanna or Joanna, Scanlan and Sarah Alexander, who give a decently small hint that a Babylon candle is rare without going too hard in the paint about it. 385 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,000 I like that. 386 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:03,000 And then she's cheating at picking an organ. I have his liver, I have his kidney and I have his heart. 387 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,000 And I love the dirty look that she gets from the other way. 388 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000 They play sisters very, very well. 389 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:17,000 How do you scale? What do you suppose the scaling is when it comes to organs like that? Like, what's you know, I don't know. 390 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,000 But I'm very sure that the heart is the lead. So that's pretty sure. 391 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:30,000 I mean, liver, kidney or I think you'd put liver over kidney because you can survive without a kidney. You can't survive without a liver liver. 392 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,000 Mm hmm. But neither of them work without the heart. That's a good. That's a good point. 393 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,000 Yeah, that's a. 394 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:43,000 I think we just stumbled into what the point system is actually. 395 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,000 Eating the last of the star and then oh. 396 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,000 Michelle Pfeiffer so pretty. 397 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:58,000 I know. So incredibly unbearingly disarming. She is so pretty. 398 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:03,000 And there's a reason why they write songs about her. OK, yep. 399 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:13,000 No, that's the crazy thing about it, too, is like and this happened to, you know, last time I saw that that freaking song, you know, closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen. 400 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:22,000 Like that song stuck in my head for the whole fucking movie because, yeah, the truer words have never been spoken. 401 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,000 Yeah, she gets in your head and yeah, deserves to be. 402 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:32,000 I mean, her and Renee Russo. Oh, my God. The 90s. Oh, my God. 403 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:40,000 David Kelly thinking Tristan is his dad and drops the hint about crossing whoops his ass. 404 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:45,000 And I'm sorry, those kicks. I don't know why those kicks were so funny, but those kicks made me laugh. 405 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:50,000 And then no, a few go. 406 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:56,000 Then we get the we get the we we see like this guy who's been guarding this wall for 80 some odd years. 407 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:07,000 We find out he ain't playing. He he's he's been this is a serious job to him and he he earned his respect for that job. 408 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:16,000 And the funny part is, because Dunstan went through just 20 years earlier, this guy started practicing martial arts when he was 80. 409 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:21,000 So that that might be my favorite part of it. 410 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:27,000 And he's still salty about it, too, that you can tell he's he's like, Mer, one of you got through. 411 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,000 And this time I'm prepared for your ass. 412 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:36,000 And the thing is, the guard has to know that the guard knows that Tristan is from the wall. 413 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,000 So there was always that. 414 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:49,000 Danes as Yvain wakes up and puts on the necklace, which, oh, like that always a crime is like, oh, oh, oh. 415 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:58,000 OK, I mean, I kind of get it. But at the same time, if you if you got clunked on the head by a giant diamond, you'd be like, well, this is mine now, too. 416 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:05,000 They chose me clearly. No. OK, I'll give you that. 417 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:12,000 The letter from mom and

learning about like, well, his dad giving him the full lesson, telling all this. 418 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:21,000 And I think it's it's funny, too, is how he figures it out, like the guard just like the guard just dropped that tiny hint when he just like, oh, I suppose you think you're going to go through, too. 419 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,000 And he's like, what do you mean, too? I'm like, he's like, nothing. No, no one's ever gotten through. 420 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,000 It didn't matter because he figured it out instantly. 421 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:33,000 He he goes home and he's like, OK, dad, talk. 422 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,000 And I like that his dad just gives him the full story of this. 423 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:45,000 And I like the fact that the story was given to him off camera. And then when he finds the cameras, like, oh, just like in your story, like we didn't need that that fast. 424 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000 Right. Exactly. I'm having so close together. 425 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:54,000 And I'm glad that this and this movie made the very, very right decision to go that way. 426 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,000 Matthew Vaughn is good. 427 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:04,000 He's one of the it's got one of the best. Actually, I think he has the best X-Men movie. 428 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,000 I think. OK, which which one? First class. 429 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,000 It's arguable. It's arguable. Yeah. 430 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:17,000 I mean, it's tough with the X-Men movies because they're there because this thing is like when it comes to when he comes to the Sony's X-Men. 431 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,000 OK, let me be clear. I wouldn't. There are good scenes. 432 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:24,000 I'm not counting Logan. I'm not counting Deadpool. I'm not counting the Wolverine. I'm not counting any of those. 433 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:30,000 I'm counting the only the ones that actually have the team up, the X-Men. 434 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:36,000 To be clear. Yeah. OK. I actually in my opinion, I think it's the best one. 435 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,000 OK, I could see that. 436 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:45,000 The way I've always seen it is I've never seen any any one movie like as that great. 437 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:52,000 There have been really good scenes like you can pick individual scenes from the series and go, that was really good shit right there. 438 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,000 The movies themselves on a whole don't really hold up, in my opinion. 439 00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:04,000 No, most of them. Most of them are exactly what you described. X2, I thought was good. First class, I thought was good. 440 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,000 All the other ones had cool moments, but they weren't good movies. 441 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:17,000 But those two in particular, X2 with William Stryker and like Wolverine actually having his rage scene, all that like. 442 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:24,000 No, that was like the first

time like nerd me got to see like nerd stuff in the theaters and I was like, OK. 443 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,000 So maybe OK, there's a lot of bias that's on that statement. 444 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:39,000 So never mind. He lights the candle, travels by candlelight and then bam right into the star and he keeps calling Claire Dane's mother, which. 445 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,000 Right. What a great decision. 446 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:47,000 I mean, she's having a day for sure. 447 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:55,000 Hit in the head by a rock, fall from the sky, then hit in the in the everything by a dude who's like, are you my mommy? 448 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,000 I know what a what a series of events for her. 449 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:04,000 And then she goes off on him about the events that led up to her being hit by a bumbling moron. 450 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:10,000 And he straight up kidnaps an injured woman for Victoria without even thinking about it. 451 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,000 Like it's weird that he doesn't think about it at all. 452 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:18,000 It's like, OK, this is a human person, look, human looking person. I'm talking to you. 453 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,000 I'm going to enslave you and gift you to somebody. And he's our good guy. 454 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,000 Well, he does he does say he's just going to break. 455 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:30,000 He has a promise to keep. He was going to bring Victoria the star and he does stay kind of upfront. 456 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:35,000 Look, I just want to show you to her so that she sees that I did it and that I kept my promise. 457 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:40,000 Then I'll let you go. And he even goes like, I've got this candle that you can use to take yourself home. 458 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,000 And I'm not using it to take us back to town. 459 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,000 The fact that he calls it like she's like, you have a Babylon candle. 460 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,000 Yeah, of course, I have a bubbling candle. 461 00:36:50,000 --> 00:37:00,000 Dude, he is he is the perfect mix of just idiot, like charming, charming and disarming idiot. 462 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:13,000 Plus, I think to a degree that may have been like one of the saving graces of why we didn't see the exposition when his dad told him the story. 463 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,000 And then he's like, oh, I've got here's the letter from your mom. 464 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,000 This is the flower from your story. Oh, this is the chain from your story. 465 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:23,000 Because he seems to uncannily know how to work that chain really, really well. 466 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,000 First try on everything. Yeah, right. 467 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:32,000 So the only way to explain that is to assume that that part of his dad's story must have been pretty elongated. 468 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,000 We just didn't see it. That's a good point. 469 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:39,000 Seems to be a good point. Really know how to use that magic chain without much without much trouble. 470 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,000 Which, by the way, what a fantastic magic chain. 471 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,000 All you got to do is keep cutting that thing and you have unlimited material. 472 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,000 I would have an entire suit of armor made out of that crap. 473 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,000 And it's obedient to is just like here, hold this and it holds it. 474 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:59,000 Yeah, I would that that that little piece of material was wildly I could wildly underutilized. 475 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:06,000 You forget the star. Just give that to Victoria and be and be like, here, your husband's never going to get away with this. 476 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,000 Dude, right. There you go. Yeah. 477 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:14,000 Accidentally poisoning the bishop and that scene. Huge laugh. 478 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:19,000 Strong faking his own death just to get a chuckle. 479 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:26,000 I know Mark Strong has been in everything. He is such a prolific actor. 480 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:31,000 But my God, I don't think I've ever seen him be like this. 481 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,000 There was there was a lot of good, mirthful, funny moments. 482 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:43,000 But my one just full on belly laugh moment was when he's pointing at his brother going like, you thought you were going to be king. 483 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:53,000 Like that was that was gold. But also Jason having it be Mark Strong and Jason Fleming, those two worked perfectly off of each other. 484 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,000 Yeah, that was fantastic. 485 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:03,000 Now that Pfeiffer is pretty again, she wants the home to look good to get everything ready. 486 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:07,000 Make it nice. I wanted us to put the Queens that we are like. Right. 487 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:16,000 Yeah, come on, Diva arguing. Oh, the star interest in arguing about when to sleep and. 488 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:21,000 But this is that scene I was talking about where he calls it a bubbling candle and she's like and she the way she looks at it, 489 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,000 she's like, oh, my God, what kind of idiot are you? 490 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:31,000 Like, it's it's so good. It's so good. 491 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:40,000 Jake Curran getting turned into a goat and then seeing that the magic takes a toll on Pfeiffer and it happens really quick and very succinctly. 492 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:47,000 And even though there was some exposition on it, none of it was needed. 493 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:53,000 Right. Yeah, exactly. And it basically just kind of position also wasn't clunky. 494 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:58,000 Right. Because we see the examples we hear like a momentary comment on it to confirm everything. 495 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,000 This is like, oh, this is known. This is

not a mystery as to what's happening to her. Everybody gets it. 496 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,000 Yeah. And it raises the stakes for her character. 497 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:10,000 It kind of like it basically goes to show she's not just your basic run of the mill evil witch looking to do bad things. 498 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:15,000 No, she's got an actual desperation here because she's you know. 499 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:20,000 This is like she's not living a great existence. She's in a dusty, dark old house, just her and her sisters. 500 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:25,000 They're all decrepit and can barely move. This is her one chance to get back to youth. 501 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:33,000 You know. OK. Dusty, dank old great hall. 502 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:41,000 I mean, come on. Say what you will about the decor, sir, but the architecture, give its respect. 503 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:46,000 I mean, come on, they lived in a frickin cathedral, man. I mean, that's a hmm. 504 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:52,000 I'll take some. I'll take some dank and dustiness if I can live in a frickin cathedral like that. 505 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:58,000 OK, all right. Unless your property. I know it's a cathedral. Property taxes would be low. 506 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:07,000 Seven horses with. Oh, so here you go. Seven horses with Septimus, the seventh brother and Primus, the first brother, 507 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,000 goes it alone, perfectly matching their names. 508 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:15,000 Their clothing had their number like the number of what son they were matched up. 509 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:20,000 And I thought it was great to have the first and the final brother going up against each other in this. 510 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:26,000 And all the in between. I thought that was really clever. I did enjoy that. 511 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:34,000 Them walking through the windows background. Tell me you didn't think the same thing. 512 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:40,000 Oh, no, I didn't. Oh, my God. I didn't notice it. That was exactly I was like that. 513 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,000 That's that's the windows background. I thought the same thing as when we watched toys. 514 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:51,000 I'm like, that's the fucking Microsoft background. Wherever that field is, they love using that thing. 515 00:41:51,000 --> 00:42:03,000 Oh, here we go. Michelle Pfeiffer meets Ditchwater Sal and the whole heads or tails scene and then truth poisoning, the Dark Majesty. 516 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:11,000 And then we kind of see what she looked like in her prime or like when she's like got her like her magic like going. 517 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:19,000 Tiny, tiny bit of world building that just kind of shows you what they may have looked like 100, 100 years ago or centuries ago or in like that. 518 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:27,000 Never explained, never saw again. But Ditchwater Sal calling her your Dark Majesty that gave us our world building. 519 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:36,000 Yeah, God, I love this movie because where we've talked about trusting your audience, you don't need to hammer us with these this information. 520 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:44,000 Put it in the movie. And if we're curious about it, we'll watch it again. That's the thing is like if you catch it, it adds to the story. 521 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:49,000 If you don't catch it, you don't lose anything in the story. That is delicate. That's a delicate thing. Yes. 522 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:54,000 To be able to put something in your story that if it's missed, it doesn't affect the audience at all. 523 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,000 No, that is a tough balance to find. And I do understand that. 524 00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:04,000 But treating your audience like they're frickin morons, that is always the way your film loses money. 525 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,000 Time after time after time after time after time after time. 526 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:14,000 There is almost no example of treating your audience like morons and it winning. 527 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:19,000 Like it's crazy that they keep doing that. But whatever. 528 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,000 The classic. Oh, oh, oh, OK. 529 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:27,000 Well, actually, first this casting a spell on Ditchwater Sal. 530 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:34,000 You shall not see nor touch nor smell nor hear or interact with the star in any way, even if it's right in front of you. 531 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:42,000 Perfectly setting up an incredible scene later on that just melts my heart every time I see this. 532 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:47,000 Now for my true hatred. 533 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:55,000 And I'm not even kidding here, man. I hate this to a degree that I don't know how to properly say. 534 00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:00,000 He keeps calling her Yvonne when her name is Yvonne. 535 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:08,000 You can't get that misconception unless you're looking at the name on paper. 536 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:16,000 If somebody tells you their name, you have the actor in the play, in the movie, in whatever it is, 537 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:26,000 needs to mispronounce it based off of how they heard it, not how they would miss like mispronounce it based off of reading it. 538 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:38,000 Movies and plays and TV shows make that mistake a million times over and not again, not one time has it ever fucking made sense. 539 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:43,000 That is one of the dumbest things that like that like that entertainment does. 540 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:49,000 And how has anybody ever rectified that? 541 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:56,000 I don't know. Is it just me? Does that bother you too? Not really. No, but I get where you're coming from. 542 00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:06,000 I would see how it would bother you for sure. Yes. I mean, I was just I literally like an audiobook that I was listening to not too long ago. 543 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:15,000 And this is

one of those like I don't know how this happens, but the the narrator mispronounced the word idyllic like he was talking about. 544 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:23,000 Like a character was like contemplating his life and he was like, has my life been so idyllic that I can't you know, I can't contemplate these hardships. 545 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:27,000 The narrator said idyllic. 546 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:32,000 Like it literally took a second like has my life been so idyllic? And I'm like, what? 547 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:38,000 Did he mean idyllic? Like and that's kind of like that. That's you know, that bothered me. 548 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:45,000 Like I think I missed the whole next chapter of the book because I'm sitting here going like how can someone go their whole life? 549 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:51,000 Not not ever hearing that word, only seeing it like who where where was the quality control? 550 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,000 Who was his editor? Was there a director in the room? 551 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:58,000 Well, come on, you know, I mean, you know how we do this. There isn't. 552 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:02,000 I am like I am my own editor for my audio work and stuff like that. 553 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:08,000 There are apps that some of the other audiobook narrators that I work with in my classes and stuff like that. 554 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:16,000 They have apps that you run your chapter through and like the app will identify the words that you have mispronounced. 555 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:22,000 So now they have that. They didn't have that that long ago when I was because I was doing audiobooks a few years ago. 556 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:27,000 We didn't have that. We would run up to words of writing, especially when I was doing like metaphysics manuals. 557 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:31,000 And things like that. I was like I auditioned for one. 558 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:35,000 It was a three page audition about a metaphysics manual. 559 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:41,000 And I spent so much time Googling pronunciation of words that I just I didn't even submit the audition. 560 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:46,000 Yeah, even if I got this, I feel you there. I wouldn't want to do this. 561 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,000 Like this is insane. 562 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:54,000 Or was I? Oh, the confrontation with the soothsayer. 563 00:46:54,000 --> 00:47:08,000 I thought that was really good. I thought the the the confrontation with him as he's asking the questions and then Mark Strong turns into a more jovial type of character for a moment. 564 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:13,000 What's my favorite color? Like all of this. Have I ever spared anyone's life? 565 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:18,000 Like, like, he's just he's so jovial about it and having fun with it. 566 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,000 And then, yeah, he kills the guy and then they move on. 567 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:32,000 Right. The transition from those those charms or whatever they call them,

like from him to Michelle Pfeiffer over to right. 568 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:39,000 Tristan and Danes. The transitions there, I thought were absolutely fantastic. 569 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:44,000 It was it was almost like a musical without the musical number. 570 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:55,000 The way there was like it was it was like a one of those marathon type songs where where everyone's going like we're off to, you know, we're, you know, we're going to the Capitol. 571 00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:00,000 And you've got like this storyline. We're going to kill the king in this storyline. We're going to save the king in this storyline. 572 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:08,000 I'm going to marry the princess. And they're all kind of like they eventually sing in tandem with each other, even though there are three separate storylines in different places. 573 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:18,000 It was like that, but no song. It was just it was a sort of weird, like mental, like emotional unification on this journey. 574 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:26,000 And it was. Yeah, it works so well. 575 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:31,000 Rescue Unicorn activate. 576 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:38,000 That that came out of nowhere and I'm like, whatever, we're in Star Wars. 577 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,000 They didn't invite that unicorn to the wedding. 578 00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,000 It died. 579 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:51,000 Oh, that's right. Oh, that's right. OK, yeah. Yeah, we see like this is the kind of movie where you could just randomly have a unicorn pop in. 580 00:48:51,000 --> 00:49:03,000 And there are no questions because of what the movie has done to this point. Any other I swear to God, any other movie, if this would have happened, I would just be ripping it apart somehow. 581 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:18,000 Especially it worked. They. Yeah, well, especially they even though it was not technically a character like that was one of the Claire Danes did really well giving this horse character because when it first shows up, you know, and unlocks the chain and saves her because it's a unicorn. 582 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,000 It can fucking do anything. Yeah. 583 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:26,000 And as you know, she's riding through the forest to eventually go to this in. 584 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,000 He is. 585 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:41,000 She's expositing everything to this horse. He just sitting there going like, and then this asshole tied me up to this and that and the horse is just trotting along going like, I know, lady, I know, I'm humans. Right. 586 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:52,000 Yeah. Like, so this with with no with no need to horse act, Claire Danes just made this horse a character by just being a character to it. 587 00:49:52,000 --> 00:50:02,000 But I will say when the horse saves Tristan's life and then points at the poison, I like I was like, it was making me laugh so hard. 588 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:15,000 I'm like, God, you did such a good job with that horse. Good job. Good horse. Turning the goat into a goat or into a man creating an inn and dude, why did I do the note like this? 589 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:20,000 Bernard Bernard gets at the other side. 590 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:32,000 Like she took she turns Bernard into a goat so she can add two goats pulling her cart. And then when she gets to this, this, you know, this strap she's setting, he turns the goat into a man to be her husband. 591 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:40,000 She turns Bernard back into a man thinks for a second and then turns Bernard into a woman and Bernard does not seem to mind at all. 592 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,000 No, he's very excited. 593 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:47,000 Whoa. 594 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:58,000 The expo dump from the stars while Tristan is sleeping and you get Elliot Sumner as Yvain's sister, which she is really kicking some stuff up. 595 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:04,000 Now, if you take a look at her IMDB, she's been really like her credits are getting bigger and bigger and bigger. 596 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:16,000 So this like I think this is going to be one of those like, hey, look what Elliot Sumner did when she first was coming out like and way to hit the ground running Sumner. 597 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:20,000 Bouncing off. Oh, God. 598 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:29,000 Okay, so when Tristan wakes up from the dream and he starts sprinting towards that and the music is epic and you think like, oh, God, this music, this scene, this editing, something amazing is about to happen. 599 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,000 Nope. 600 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:37,000 Just bounces off the carriage and the music dies down. I'm like, oh, movie. 601 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:42,000 Me again. I've seen this 20 freaking times and you got me again. 602 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:46,000 I just so much fun and I like that. Primas comes up. 603 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:54,000 He's like, the thing was when Primas comes up and he puts the blade to Tristan's chest, you're not looking at comedy. 604 00:51:54,000 --> 00:52:01,000 You're not looking at joy. Jason Fleming put on the actual performance to be a man about to kill. 605 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:06,000 And then he changes his mind right when Tristan is like, you know, whoa, I don't know what I got. 606 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,000 And he sees that Tristan is telling the truth, I think. 607 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:13,000 But the thing was something. Yeah. Yeah. That walk up. 608 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:20,000 Fleming was putting on a performance for a different movie. And that is what I really liked about it is because you saw the dark. 609 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,000 You saw the heavy tone. You saw everything about it. 610 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:31,000 And then you saw them put it away like so it gave you that that feeling of like that eerie feeling that something was about to happen. 611 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:39,000 But you were still living in the joy of a film that is perfectly able to cross

over from children to adults. 612 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:44,000 And I don't think anybody's going to have a bad time. No, no, you're right. 613 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:51,000 I bet is. Yeah. But the line. Maybe Providence sent you to or sent me to you the same as it sent you to me. 614 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,000 His character pulls off some good lines when he needs to. 615 00:52:54,000 --> 00:53:03,000 Like he says the right thing basically every time that he needs to. And I really appreciated that about his character because he was never lying. 616 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:07,000 He never lied to say that say something. He was just being honest. 617 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:13,000 Every step along the way. Same thing as in like Knives Out. You've seen Knives Out, right? Yes. 618 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:20,000 OK. And a D'Armes character like you won by being a good person. 619 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:26,000 That is like the same thing that Tristan that happened to Tristan in this. He just won by being a good person. 620 00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:30,000 Yeah. Love that. 621 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:44,000 When Yvain shows up to the inn and then Pfeiffer invites her in and all that and then she slams the door on the unicorn and they give those like quick staring daggers like right through the door window. 622 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:50,000 She. I want I keep wanting to say this actor crushed this. This actor crushed this. 623 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:56,000 Every single actor in this movie crushed every single thing they did this whole movie. 624 00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:03,000 It is kind of insane. The odds of that happening. That ratio does not. It doesn't. It doesn't. 625 00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:15,000 There's always some kind of like somebody calling it in someone being like I know this is a small part. You know, like Peter O'Toole. He that that was a cameo to beat all cameo roles. 626 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:20,000 He didn't have to stand up. He had so few lines. He probably probably had cue cards for him. 627 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:25,000 I mean, it's the kind of thing where it's like you've got a low budget film and you need your one name actor. 628 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:29,000 What do you do? You cast him in a role where he doesn't have to do anything but be the name. 629 00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:36,000 That was the role that they gave Peter O'Toole, but he did not treat it that way in a film full of a listers. 630 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:43,000 Right. All of a list. 631 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,000 Woman, Bernard Bernard is absolutely creeping. 632 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,000 Oh, my God. Like when he's like, oh, yeah, let's get you out. 633 00:54:49,000 --> 00:55:03,000 And he puts his like he puts he puts her arms around her shoulders and like just so creepy feeling. And oh, man, the magic in the healing bath. 634 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:13,000 Fantastic. I love that. You've never you've never a massage like I don't know why that cracks me up. 635 00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:19,000 I still like it doesn't really make sense to me why that line would get such a big laugh out of me, but it does. 636 00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:33,000 Well, it's it's it's well, it's because we have this weird dynamic going on where we found out that something about this magic of stealing a star's heart and using it for magical powers, whatever it is they want to do. 637 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:40,000 There's conditions like having them, you know, having them be comfortable and happy and carefree helps. 638 00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:45,000 And so that's what Michelle Fiverr is doing. She's trying to pamper Claire Danes. Yes. 639 00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:54,000 She's okay. So what you're saying, though, so the more potent the star, like the more potent the happiness, the more powerful the star is, the star's heart is. 640 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:59,000 But at the end of the movie, like. 641 00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,000 What is a broken heart of a star is better than no heart at all. 642 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:07,000 It can still do something, but if it's shining when it's cut out, it is way more powerful. 643 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,000 So right now, I'm right there with you. 644 00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,000 OK, so yeah, she's trying to butter her up. 645 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:18,000 She's and and so it's like it's weird this sort of like after we've seen her be so evil this whole time. 646 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,000 Now she's like sitting there going like you've never had him. 647 00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:24,000 You must die. I will work those kinks out. 648 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:28,000 Get in the bath. I am. I am here for you, my lady. 649 00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:34,000 This is going to be one because it's like it's a yeah, it's funny because it does open. 650 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:40,000 It opens a huge plot hole at the end of the film, though. 651 00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:46,000 So there actually is there's there's only one moment of this film that I actually think isn't perfect. 652 00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,000 And it actually it is kind of a huge plot hole. 653 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,000 And I'm wondering if you can help fill it for me. 654 00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,000 Well, we'll get there. OK. 655 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:58,000 Saved from a knife under the bed by a knock at the door and Primus and Tristan arrive. 656 00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:06,000 And then, yeah, Primus just like walks in the like walks into the place, sees there's a bath and like, oh, 657 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:10,000 and just dumps jumps into somebody else's dirty bath water. 658 00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:14,000 I'm like, oh, oh, you don't know. 659 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,000 You don't know who was in there. 660 00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,000 That's like that scene from Galaxy Quest. Is there air? 661 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:24,000 You don't know. You don't know who is. 662 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,000 Is there crabs? You don't know. 663

00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:35,000 Like, ah, Galaxy Quest, and I want to see that again now. 664 00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,000 Oh, yeah, it was mentioned to be like, yeah, now there is a movie. 665 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,000 There is a movie. 666 00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:47,000 All the dead brothers see the necklace when you have a comes out and they're like, dude, dude, dude. 667 00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,000 I thought that was great. Like you talk about the peanut gallery. 668 00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:54,000 You're absolutely right. These brothers were brick and perfect. 669 00:57:54,000 --> 00:58:02,000 Yep. By for going after the knife while Primus is bragging in the background about the size, 670 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,000 the some say is the biggest in all the land. 671 00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:13,000 Talking about his dad's carriage and all this is like, dude, oh my God, you were playing this rich boy bragging entitled us. 672 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,000 Oh, well, way to just rush it. 673 00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,000 Fleming and Claire Danes is like, yeah, good for you, buddy. 674 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:24,000 I'm going to I'm going to go now. And he's like, no, but you understand it's a great carriage. 675 00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:28,000 Love it. But then they pass off the water. 676 00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:36,000 So it's a Primus passes off to the wine because until his brother is dead, he won't drink anything but his own wine, passes it off to Tristan. 677 00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,000 And then when Bernard comes, I was like, thanks. 678 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,000 What's your name to the girl? 679 00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:46,000 Bernard. 680 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:50,000 Which I love how Tristan is just like, that was weird. 681 00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:54,000 Oh, well, yeah, he's in Stormhold now. He doesn't know. 682 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,000 Like, yeah, no, like that was so much fun. 683 00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:01,000 The unicorn busting the poison out of him and then pointing at him. 684 00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:10,000 And the only reason we actually were able to get a slit throat in this is, I think, because they changed the color of the blood to green. 685 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,000 Blue. It was blue. 686 00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,000 OK, thin blue looked green to me. Whatever. 687 00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:27,000 OK, well, see that I think they were going for the actual like, again, because that was a you know, that was a nickname for the royalty was the Blue Bloods. 688 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:35,000 Oh, because there was apparently for one specific royal family, I can't remember which one, 689 00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:49,000 because of the many generations of inbreeding in that specific royal family, they had a pretty severe hemoglobin problem that made their blood actual blue because they because they weren't actually able to absorb any oxygen into their blood. 690 00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:53,000 OK, that's crazy. I hope you're not just

making that up. I hope that's crazy. 691 00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:58,000 I'm OK. I'm not making it up. I cannot verify my sources on that, though. 692 00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:06,000 Well, the benefit of not being live. The term blue blood originates from the Spanish phrase Sangre Azul. 693 01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:17,000 It was used to describe the old aristocratic families of Castile, Spain, who claimed to have pure noble bloodlines and had never intermarried with Moors, Jews or other races. 694 01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:26,000 The blueness of their veins, which was more visible due to their fair complexions, led to the term blue blood to denote nobility and high social status. 695 01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:34,000 Over time, the term was adopted into other languages and cultures to refer to people of noble birth or high social standing. 696 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:39,000 Because these motherfuckers had never seen the sun so you could literally see their veins. 697 01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:46,000 That's pretty much OK. That I can buy that a little bit. 698 01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:51,000 I mean, I can also buy the story you said, but I can I could believe that could happen. 699 01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:57,000 But yeah, but I'm still right about I'm still right about blue blood. 700 01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:04,000 You are. You are. You are. That was that was correct, which I thought that was a cop term. 701 01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:09,000 So because of that, because of the movie, the TV show Blue Bloods. 702 01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:17,000 Right. That one I think was adopted later in like the 80s or 90s where cops. 703 01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:22,000 No, I can easily see that so many so many generations of cop in my family. 704 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:28,000 You practically bleed blue. I think it's OK. All right. I can see that. 705 01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:36,000 So, yes, we got Preeness's slit throat and now he's he's a naked ghost. 706 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,000 And I like I like that. Really, they try not to talk about it. 707 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:42,000 None of them are looking. He's the only one that doesn't have a fucked up face. 708 01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:44,000 So what are they going to say? Somewhat true. 709 01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:48,000 I don't know. Mark Healy got poisoned, so he was pretty much exactly normal. 710 01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:53,000 But the way that he shows up naked and then Mark Healy is like. 711 01:01:53,000 --> 01:02:04,000 I can see how he's the comedian of those brothers, because, yeah, I love that. 712 01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:13,000 Trapped in the flames and fight dude, Pfeiffer kicks this performance up like her dialogue. 713 01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:21,000 Very simple dialogue, all that. But that's where like she stopped acting and really kicked in the thespian. 714 01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:27,000 Like that's where like the stage performance started coming in and like, oh, goosebumps and everything. 715 01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:33,000 And this

really showcased the dedication and what Tristan was willing to put himself through. 716 01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:42,000 He put the babbling or the Babylon candle in his hand, but his whole hand in the flames to get them out of the situation. 717 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:50,000 And unfortunately, this is where we say goodbye to the unicorn because, you know, got got by Pfeiffer. 718 01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:59,000 Right. They wind up stuck in the clouds because he told Yvain to think of home and like, and this whole. 719 01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:04,000 What? You stupid cow. Why would you think of? 720 01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:12,000 You said, think of this standing on a cloud in the middle of a lightning storm yelling at each other over. 721 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:17,000 Why didn't you think of my home? Why would I think of your home? You said, think of home. 722 01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:20,000 Outstanding. I really did love this. 723 01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:23,000 And no one's no one's talking in this entire fight. 724 01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:27,000 Neither one of them is going, holy shit, we're standing on a cloud. 725 01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,000 No, that was like, no, neither of them seem to care. 726 01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:35,000 They were perfectly standing on a cloud and just this. This is a this is a situation. 727 01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:39,000 The middle ground to meet Captain Shakespeare harvesting lightning. 728 01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:43,000 Didn't she fucking Captain Shakespeare? My God. 729 01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:50,000 What a character. What an absolutely fantastic character. 730 01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,000 Yeah. No, no way around it. 731 01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:59,000 Just oh my God. I like them. They trapped them thinking they're lightning marshals. 732 01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:03,000 And I like that. Just one mention. Lightning marshals. 733 01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,000 And that gives us an entire aspect of the world building we never see. 734 01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:11,000 We never hear about again, but it gives us more information on the pirates. 735 01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:15,000 Right. And then it doesn't even like it doesn't matter at that point. 736 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:20,000 It's just we're establishing that these are not, you know, the most honest of men, you know, and they're. 737 01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:25,000 And this is a suspicious situation like we don't need to know what the marshal is. 738 01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,000 We just know that this that this is not a good situation. 739 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:32,000 Oh, yeah. That's it. The bonding in the brig. 740 01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,000 And this is what I was talking about earlier. 741 01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:41,000 She affirms the difference between shop boys and boys who just happen to work at shops for the time being. 742 01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:49,000 And the way that that reflects on Tristan's face as he hears his own words said back to him. 743 01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:54,000 But in an affirming way. That's the difference. 744 01:04:54,000 --> 01:05:07,000 I really, really love. Oh, Mark Strong prematurely celebrates when he finds Primus naked in a bathtub just in the middle of the field and of nowhere. 745 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:11,000 Because what's great is that like the whole house was a trap. 746 01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:18,000 The witch set was one big illusion. And so when she's gone, everything's gone except for the dead body in the bathtub. 747 01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:24,000 Just sitting there in the middle of nowhere and his brothers look at that going great. 748 01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:27,000 I love it. I'm king. And everybody kneels. 749 01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:32,000 And then I like the ghost primus is like, yeah, forgetting something. 750 01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:40,000 And yeah, no, you're right, dude. The ghosts in this played such a fantastic part about this. 751 01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:46,000 And then Billy, he finds Billy and Billy informs on the witch and the star and Strong finds out. 752 01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,000 That was Bernard. It was Bernard. Billy's dead. Billy got. 753 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:53,000 Oh, Billy was the Billy was the actual goat. Sorry, sir. You're right. You're right. Right. 754 01:05:53,000 --> 01:06:06,000 Bernard. Bernard's back to normal. Yes. Back to normal and informs on the witch and the star and Strong's response that the this idiot's coming with us. 755 01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:11,000 What a line. Oh, my God. 756 01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:17,000 Bifers going bald and speaking of we mentioned that I mentioned this before, but Claire Dane's having a bad day. 757 01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:24,000 Let's spare a thought for Bernard. Like that poor motherfucker asked for none of this. 758 01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:27,000 He was just minding his own business on his little goat farm. 759 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:33,000 And now he's getting dragged along by all these psychos. That is true. 760 01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:41,000 Like in another movie, Bernard would be the hero where the adventure like happened upon him instead of interested. 761 01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:46,000 But this is Tristan being like the the warrior's journey, the adventure. 762 01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:53,000 What would you what would you call this particular? I mean, it's not quite a warrior's journey, but he becomes one. 763 01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:59,000 So it kind of is kind of. Yeah, a little bit. It's a fish out of water. It's a fish out of water for sure. 764 01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:04,000 Very fish out of water for sure. Yes. Yeah. Very fish out of water, although not entirely. 765 01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:09,000 Like I said, he does seem to get used to using the magic chain really fast. That's what he was. 766 01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:17,000 That's it. It makes me wonder if he has blue blood because we never saw we never actually saw him bleed, I don't think. 767 01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:21,000 No, that's true. This

is a this is a fairy tale. 768 01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:24,000 So it comes down to this is quite the hero's journey or a warrior's journey. 769 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:31,000 Every fairy tale is still in big part a warrior like a warrior's journey, a call to adventure. 770 01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:36,000 I mean, they every fairy tale still kind of fits into one of the sub genres. 771 01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:44,000 I suppose so, but this is a little bit closer to like Alice in Wonderland than anything else, where he's literally just kind of stumbling into everything. 772 01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:47,000 OK, granted, he gets through it better than most. 773 01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:55,000 He doesn't stumble out of it like he looks in the situations and has to work his way out as opposed to sometimes it's luck in luck out. 774 01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:57,000 There is true. 775 01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:03,000 By going bald and then freaking out about it like, where's the star and like rubbing the ring and all this. 776 01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:10,000 But I will say my biggest laugh from Piper is when she's like trying to do her like beauty marks and all this. 777 01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:14,000 And then both of her boobs just sag at the same time. 778 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:22,000 That got a scream laugh from me and it always have as I don't know if it will ever not. 779 01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:25,000 But this is what I was talking about earlier with the tell me about Victoria. 780 01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:32,000 He can't. She's such a shallow person that beyond saying she's pretty, there's nothing to talk about. 781 01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:36,000 And. 782 01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,000 Damn. 783 01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:47,000 But like that, you can't buy love. And then the question, what's she doing to prove her love for you? 784 01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:54,000 Realistically, there are so many great less life lessons in this film. 785 01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,000 Yeah. And they just pop out through the dialers. 786 01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:01,000 And that one is one of those things that even like I'm seeing, like. 787 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:13,000 People are still talking about to this day is that whole sort of like one sided expectation, one sided given, you know, giving that that especially, you know, 788 01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:24,000 especially some of the young folks complaining about dating these days, you know, you know, there's a lot of the whole like, you know, why, why would I make all this effort to date when nothing it's never reciprocated kind of thing. 789 01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:29,000 Like we're seeing that that mentality become kind of more. 790 01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:32,000 What's your answer? 791 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,000 My answer for that. Yeah. 792 01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:38,000 I mean, for me personally, it was always just sort of a time limit kind of thing. 793 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:50,000 Like I was willing to I was willing to, you know, put forth the effort and do that whole sort of like, you know, I will I will be the old fashioned prove myself, you know, buy dinner, open doors, that whole sort of thing. 794 01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:59,000 But then like usually around about like third or fourth date, if I'm not starting to see some of that come back, then I'm like, OK, this is going nowhere and I'm out. 795 01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:05,000 I think that's reasonable. My kind of take home position on that. 796 01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:11,000 Always be the gentleman. Always do this. Always do. Always, always, always, always. 797 01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:18,000 The choosy over who you give that to. You don't just give it to anybody because not everybody deserves it. 798 01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:20,000 No, it's true. That's the thing. 799 01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:29,000 But I think there's nothing wrong with doing all of these behaviors, all of these things, doing everything for your husband, your wife, X, Y, Z. 800 01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:32,000 I don't think there's anything wrong with that. 801 01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:43,000 If those are the things that you want to do for somebody, but it is very important that you find somebody that recharges you in whatever way you need. 802 01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:48,000 It doesn't have to be the traditional stereotypical, any of that stuff. 803 01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:56,000 You like if you got one person who literally does everything and the other person massages their feet once a week and that's all they need. 804 01:10:56,000 --> 01:11:00,000 That is a balanced relationship. It is just about finding the balance. 805 01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:05,000 But don't know, don't do that stuff for people who don't know. 806 01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:14,000 Well, I think that's what people are finding difficult is that when it comes to these things, we are talking investment, even if it's not financial, 807 01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:19,000 even if you're not the kind of person who's going to spend $100 a night on a date or something like that. 808 01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:29,000 At the very, very bare minimum, even at the very beginning of a relationship, you are investing time and you have to invest emotionally. 809 01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:35,000 Because if you're not going to at least cry to like this person, then it's going to fail from the start to begin with. 810 01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:38,000 You have to invest emotionally in this as well. 811 01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:46,000 And all too often people find out that that investment has dead ends half the time. 812 01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,000 Minimum half the people you're going to go out with. 813 01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:52,000 You're going to find out we're not worth your emotional investment. 814 01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:54,000 And that's the investment that hurts the most. 815 01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:57,000 And I think that's how that's what's getting people shy. 816 01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,000 Minimum. 817 01:11:59,000 -->

01:12:03,000 Wow. I know. I'm about to say, man, I'm looking at 98%, 99%. 818 01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:11,000 I mean, realistically, if you are the Marion type, it usually turns out to just be one. 819 01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:13,000 No, it's very true. 820 01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:19,000 But yeah, that's the thing is like that's losing that on that investment is what hurts more than the money or the time. 821 01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:21,000 And yeah, absolutely. 822 01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:22,000 Yeah. 823 01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:27,000 And so after that, I'm not talking about purely the money investment. 824 01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:28,000 I'm not talking about purely the money aspect. 825 01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,000 I'm more talking kind of like access and stuff. 826 01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:32,000 And I get that. Yeah. 827 01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:38,000 But that's what I think is that's what's difficult for some folks is parsing that out. 828 01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:47,000 It's like if we're going to invest in like that whole like love language thing, it's like if you are going to if you're if you do invest in someone emotionally, 829 01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:51,000 that means you're going to be doing the whole acts of service thing or whatever your style is. 830 01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:52,000 Fair enough. And yeah. 831 01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:56,000 And that's that is, you know, yeah. 832 01:12:56,000 --> 01:13:02,000 After you know, if you get two or three in a row of folks that don't reciprocate at all, you start getting shy about it. 833 01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:07,000 You start going. Why can't I know ahead of time if this person's worth investing in? 834 01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:11,000 Oh, that would be a neat trick, wouldn't it be? Yeah, exactly. 835 01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:18,000 Yeah. And so that's where you get a lot of folks just bowing out of the whole dating game because they're just not willing to make that investment anymore because they've lost it too many times in a row. 836 01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:24,000 OK, I can see that. That's sad. I'm going back to the movie. 837 01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:28,000 OK. The married man just brushed that right off. 838 01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:34,000 Exactly. I'm a married man. Why should I be the one to talk about this conversation? 839 01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:41,000 That's like saying like that's like the that's like the rich guy telling like people who don't have money to save money. 840 01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:49,000 It's like I'm not I shouldn't be part of this conversation. Like, what do I have to contribute? Well, I had worked for me. 841 01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:55,000 Ain't no like there's not a lot of people out there that are like me. Right. Yeah. No. OK. Probably. 842 01:13:55,000 --> 01:14:01,000 There are. Yeah, I'm not exactly a unique person, but still. 843 01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:07,000 The De Niro and they're also all married, too. They don't need dating advice either. There you go. 844 01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:16,000 De Niro interrogation. He is properly intimidating while also being comedic. De Niro. 845 01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:19,000 Mm hmm. I mean, yeah, flat out. 846 01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:22,000 But can you this character? Can you imagine how many people were fighting over this? 847 01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:30,000 I mean, I do like a character like Captain Shakespeare with the multitudes and the layers and the performance opportunity. 848 01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:38,000 Like, do you think that maybe like before they started filming, like there was some sort of fistfight between De Niro and O'Toole over who got to play who? 849 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:43,000 I don't know, but I can't imagine anybody. See, here's the thing. 850 01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:46,000 I know that there are other actors out there that could have done a good job. 851 01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:51,000 Nobody would have been Robert De Niro doing it. 852 01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:59,000 And that's why it was amazing because it was Robert De Niro. Yes. Yes, it was. 853 01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:17,000 And I can't think of another movie, another performance where Robert De Niro gave even a quarter of that level of I don't give a fuck to go all the way into the commitment without it being like a hardcore like like taxi driver. 854 01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:22,000 He committed all the way for taxi driver, but that was not like this. 855 01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:29,000 This was a way different level of commitment. And the fact that he did it without blushing red the entire time. 856 01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:35,000 I couldn't do that. I'd be doing that in front of a crew of people. My face would be beat red. I'd be sweating. 857 01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:42,000 I would how he did Robert De Niro. Let me explain what he did. 858 01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:46,000 De Niro goes soft and then oh, sorry. 859 01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:53,000 So he takes your vein to his cabin and he threatens everybody. All right. Anybody else? You're going to get the same treatment. 860 01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:59,000 They're like, you mean you're gonna throw you off the side of the other guy. 861 01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:03,000 Yeah, yeah. No, I'm going to treat you like the other guy that I just threw over. 862 01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:07,000 I'm not going to treat you like the woman I'm supposedly about to make love to. 863 01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:21,000 But then De Niro goes soft and then choose the scenery to bits. It's makeover time. Switching the narrative on on its head by our world being the one that folktales are built on. 864 01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:28,000 I loved how that went because if you think about that, this is a world that they don't have electricity and all that stuff. 865 01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:38,000 So if you're thinking about Mary old London and all of those things that are happening at that time, those would be like folktales to people who are still living in the Middle Ages, essentially. 866 01:16:38,000 -->

01:16:45,000 Like, I love that concept. That was awesome. 867 01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:53,000 Cutting Tristan's hair. Oh, wouldn't that be nice? 868 01:16:53,000 --> 01:17:04,000 That was kind of brilliant. Yeah, it just goes to show like De Niro's character has gotten very good at the styling thing because he just like it's not even like, oh, this is a magic brush. 869 01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:10,000 No, he's just like, let's cut your hair. And then all of a sudden he's got longer hair. And even Tristan's just like, the fuck just happened. 870 01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:16,000 I know. But he doesn't say anything. He's like. 871 01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:27,000 The amount of things this movie did and then never pulled attention to beyond just a look or something like that. Loved it. Absolutely. Fantastic. 872 01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:32,000 Ricky Gervais as Freddie or Ferdy. 873 01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:36,000 Yeah, like out of nowhere with that. 874 01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:51,000 This cast. Oh, my God. There were there were a lot of serious actors playing comedy in this and to have just a true blue comedian like Ricky Gervais go up out of nowhere was weirdly jarring. 875 01:17:51,000 --> 01:18:02,000 And I feel like like being him go toe to toe with Robert De Niro in a comedy scene was it was like something out of Twilight Zone. 876 01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:07,000 But it worked so well. De Niro playing the straight man like that. 877 01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:11,000 Yeah. I mean, that is where De Niro's comedy gold really does come in. 878 01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:15,000 He is a perfect straight man for comedy. 879 01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:23,000 No, that is true. Yes. Just dynamite. So but to watch Ricky Gervais be the one that plays off him. 880 01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:31,000 That was great. I like that. It's like, huh, look, who's having a laugh? You are. 881 01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:38,000 Ricky Gervais. He absolutely killed this decent amount of improv in this, obviously. 882 01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:42,000 And right. Oh, those those there. There was a lot of Ricky Gervais's own lines in that. 883 01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:48,000 Obviously, it was too like too much sideline off the cup comments stuff for all been scripted for him. 884 01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:55,000 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Especially like the line when Pfeiffer comes in about the two headed dog, they can watch the front door in the back door at the same time. 885 01:18:55,000 --> 01:19:02,000 That specifically was tagged as improv from the so no like that. Absolutely. 886 01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:08,000 De Niro learning about the star and realizing immediately that it's Yvain. 887 01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:14,000 And I like this. Kristen shows up and can't handle the smoke or acting like a buccaneer. 888 01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:20,000 Like everybody's waiting to be this guy and he's like, oh, oh, yeah. 889 01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:29,000 And then I'm sorry, Dexter Fletcher, he crushed every single. 890 01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:35,000 He was the first mate pirate that kept rolling his eyes every time. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 891 01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:44,000 Yeah. He you don't even like he does. He doesn't even have his character doesn't even have a name and he still was like a scene stealer every time. 892 01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:52,000 And it's like the saying goes, man, there are no small parts, only small actors. And he like he's proof of that right there in this film. 893 01:19:52,000 --> 01:20:00,000 Like he barely has any lines. Character doesn't have a name. But you will remember him in this movie. Oh, absolutely. 894 01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:13,000 The Skytrip montage of learning to fight and falling in love and the dancing and shining with Yvain and De Niro and then switching over because he says, like, I know what you are. 895 01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:18,000 But then they switch over and Tristan steps in and she starts shining very brightly. 896 01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:26,000 And I'm sorry, moments like this when you get like the big tough guys playing music and looking at the dancing with like a smile on their face. 897 01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:35,000 Those moments crack me up to oblivion. Right. They they just they send me. 898 01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:44,000 But Pfeiffer and Ricky and this was I'm about that bit of improv and he annoys her into being turned into a seagull kind of. 899 01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:55,000 It was more of a cat noise he was making. No, it was it was a seagull because they transition the scene to him making the seagull noises to the seagulls flying as the ship is coming out of the sky. 900 01:20:55,000 --> 01:21:01,000 And it was literally the exact same noise. So I guess I got I don't know for sure, but I do got some confidence on that one. 901 01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:06,000 No, I think you're right. I didn't even catch that. I was just thinking he was meowing like a cat for some reason. 902 01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:11,000 And so I didn't even catch the seagulls. That is that is what I thought at first, too, though. 903 01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:16,000 It was only during the transition that I realized what she turned him in or what she turned his voice. 904 01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:19,000 Landing the skyship. I'm sorry. 905 01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:25,000 The way the music works with the events in this film is so perfectly on point. 906 01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:36,000 This is top tier, top tier. I I do think for the finale, I do think I know the movie I'm going to be fighting for most of the way. 907 01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:39,000 I don't know how not to. 908 01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:45,000 And I'm going to be so disappointed if I wind up fighting against this movie that is going to hurt. 909 01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:49,000 I'm not going to enjoy that. 910 01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:55,000 De Niro gifts Tristan some lightning and perspective. 911 01:21:55,000 --> 01:22:02,000 And he slips up with the bar and the first mate runs and he's like, oh, yeah. 912

01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:10,000 I I could watch. 913 01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:17,000 I wish I had an entire anthology of movies starring Captain Shakespeare. 914 01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:24,000 Yeah, right. It is it is one of the biggest cinema crimes that that is a one off role. 915 01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:29,000 That is that is not that is that is wow. 916 01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:37,000 Oh, then Mark Strong shows up to interrogate Ricky Gervais. 917 01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:41,000 And then he's trying so hard not to be. 918 01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:47,000 And it just was right. He's trying to answer his questions. 919 01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:50,000 Are you mocking me? Kill him. I like. 920 01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:57,000 But the best part of that line after he stabs him and walks away, clean this thoroughly. 921 01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:02,000 Why thoroughly? Why include that line? Just to be perfect. 922 01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:05,000 I swear to God, that was fantastic. By the way. 923 01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:12,000 OK, so when Tristan tackles her into that bush, because people are coming, nobody ever came by. 924 01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:18,000 I seem to remember like hearing noises like they could like who they were wasn't didn't matter. 925 01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:23,000 But it's like I thought I heard sounds of people walking while they're sitting there staring into each other's eyes. 926 01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:31,000 I didn't feel like they were ever quiet enough to indicate that people were walking by or I didn't hear like the people walking by. 927 01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:37,000 I don't know. I just to me, that felt like a I want to tackle the pretty girl moment. 928 01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:40,000 Which we've all been there for sure. Yeah, sure. 929 01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:47,000 But you know, we never we never get to Tristan got to. 930 01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:49,000 That's how you got to have that scenario. 931 01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:55,000 A woman literally has to fall out of the sky and you have to be escorting her after meeting Robert De Niro in drag. 932 01:23:55,000 --> 01:24:03,000 That is that is that is those have to lead up before you can tackle the woman to the. 933 01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:14,000 A straw. Oh, he ruins the moment by bringing up the fact that like immortality, she asked, would you be tempted for my heart and immortality? 934 01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:17,000 And he's like, not if I was alone. 935 01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:27,000 And then like you kind of get the realization, like realization wash over her face like she's never realized that she's been alone. 936 01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:30,000 Which is kind of weird because she's centuries old. 937 01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:32,000 Like, yeah, have you never thought about it? 938 01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:35,000 Like, I thought that was a little bit of a weird moment. 939 01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:38,000 But at the same time, maybe stars aren't alone. 940 01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:46,000 That's the thing is

like, I don't know if it's really like how alone I mean, she doesn't talk about any of the other stars. 941 01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,000 But the other stars talk to him about her. 942 01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:50,000 We saw that. Yeah. And the dream. 943 01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:52,000 Exposition. Yeah. Right. 944 01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,000 They gave him a dream that said, look, our sister's in danger. 945 01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:55,000 Go go save her. 946 01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:58,000 You know, so that's the just that there is some sort of community among the stars. 947 01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:06,000 But at the same time, it does seem like their whole thing from her is that they all just kind of hang out up in the sky and watch everybody down there. 948 01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:13,000 And so and I guess kind of it's all like if you don't know any different, you know, thousands of years old or not. 949 01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:19,000 If that's always been your existence and you wouldn't even know what you were missing until you got to where she is now. 950 01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:22,000 That's a really good point. 951 01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,000 Yeah, I could see that. 952 01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:29,000 The Mark Strong's men versus De Niro's crew. 953 01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:33,000 Dude, that was awesome. 954 01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:36,000 Yes, it was best, best, best fight. 955 01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:40,000 That was the best second best fight of the movie. 956 01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:43,000 OK, yes, yeah, that's true. Yeah. 957 01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:49,000 Hands down, when we get into that fight scene, I am going to just be drooling over the choreography. 958 01:25:49,000 --> 01:26:00,000 But when he's like, like Fletcher, like leads them into some manners and they do that, they take their hats off and then the pirates just go all after, like go all buck in here and all this. 959 01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:14,000 Hell yeah. Yeah, because they know because they know that if you salute this way to the guards, they're going to do their whole like formal military salute that ends with them taking their hats off and bowing so deeply that they're really easy to get and they get them. 960 01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:18,000 Yes, perfect pirate scene, perfect pirate scene. 961 01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:37,000 But during this, Robert De Niro is playing music and he is put on a dress. He has a boa wrapped around his neck. He's got a fan. He turned his very iconic mole into a heart by dabbing stuff around it and he is dancing around the captain's quarters. 962 01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,000 He's having captain time. 963 01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:58,000 It is the best captain time I have ever seen in my life. He was so much fun in that. I could not stop laughing. How Mark Strong, how many times Mark Strong must have done that scene and walked up before being able to do it without cracking? 964 01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:11,000 That had to be the most fun day. Could you imagine being part of the crew on that day to get to watch Robert De Niro dancing in drag like that? 965 01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:21,000 Yep. That is a life highlight moment. Moments like that are the reasons why people get into movies. 966 01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:37,000 I love it. Oh my God, I loved it too much. But then yes, the pirate crew wins the battle against the soldiers. They bust in. Mark Strong runs away out the window into the water and... 967 01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:54,000 Captain Shakespeare is beside himself. Not even just that this manby-pamby prince boy got one over on him and made him look weak by having the knife over him and stuff like that. But when his men came in to rescue him, he's in a dress. 968 01:27:54,000 --> 01:28:08,000 And he's so crestfallen, he doesn't even try to hide it. He just sits down and is like, my life is over. And what does the crew say? You'll always be our captain, Captain. 969 01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:21,000 Exactly. It was absolutely fantastic. But the way that one pirate comes in, his only line in the whole movie, we always knew you were a whoopsie. 970 01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:36,000 The other thing is, yeah, they're funny about it. Yeah, calling him a whoopsie on that one. I get it. That is insulting. However, unbelievably hilarious delivery. I can't help it. 971 01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:52,000 What was the meaning on that one? When the writers and everyone's looking around like, okay, we need to call him what is obviously a slur, but won't be actually offensive. What do we got? Let's hear some ideas, people. 972 01:28:52,000 --> 01:29:08,000 It wasn't until subtitles that I saw that he said whoopsie, I thought that he said boopsie. I thought it was maybe some kind of dancing term for divas or something like that or cabaret or something. I don't know. 973 01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:17,000 But it wasn't until I watched it with subtitles this time, I was like, oh, that's worse, but still funny. 974 01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:30,000 They walk and talk about what do stars do and this is the one moment and I'm glad that Matthew Vaughn included this in the movie where we only hear the book accurate name Tristran being said. 975 01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:37,000 Because in the book, his name isn't Tristan, it's Tristran and they changed it because they figured people wouldn't be able to say that. 976 01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:49,000 But while this is a really difficult name to say, yeah, it is a pretty tough one. Yeah. But when they're talking, she's like, what do stars do? I don't know. Do they annoy boys named Tristran? 977 01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:58,000 Like that was the only time that they actually included it and I thought it was a really good like I thought that was just a really nice way to do a throw to the book. 978 01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:03,000 Even though the entire movie is a throw to the book, but still. 979 01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:08,000 I thought that was really I like that. 980 01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:13,000 Trading a ride with

Ditchwater Sal, who can't see the star or that flower. 981 01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:15,000 And this is what I was talking about earlier. 982 01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:26,000 That flower that his mom gave his dad in exchange for a kiss plus that was to offer against protection from witches and magic and all this. 983 01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:37,000 So Tristan was in a pretty good position this whole movie until now, then he gets turned into a mouse and which I love because we have we have seen before. 984 01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:42,000 We have seen before we get another look at mom. 985 01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:49,000 I'm forgetting mom's name. Kate McGowan. Yeah. What her character's name is. Una. 986 01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:57,000 That's right. Yeah. So we've now seen from when Michelle Pfeiffer was visiting earlier, we saw that Una now is basically living as a bird. 987 01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:00,000 She's only allowed to be human when she's serving Ditchwater Sal. 988 01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:03,000 And then once she's done with her, she's back to being a bird. 989 01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:12,000 So as soon as Tristan pulls the flower out and shows it to Ditchwater Sal and the bird starts going nuts, it's like mom knows. 990 01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:18,000 Mom already knows. Like she like she knows exactly what's happening, you know, and but she's bird. 991 01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:24,000 Which spare a thought for the mom being that close to her child, but not being able to do anything about it. 992 01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:40,000 Right. Yeah. Oh, that's just it just kind of goes to show that it's like three scenes later, she's finally turned back into a person again to do some chores and she immediately jumps into action, not even blinking. 993 01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:52,000 Kind of. Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK. But I see where you're coming from. The it was a very nice confession of love from Danes and her talk over watching Love for Centuries. 994 01:31:52,000 --> 01:32:03,000 And yeah, I bet. Just go watch this movie. Just go watch this movie. It's so many unbelievably charming moments. 995 01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:11,000 And the first mention that her heart belongs to him setting up the end of this movie. And. 996 01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:23,000 I like this. This was a very, very, very smart inclusion because it is expo dump. It is treating the audience like they're idiots, except they never actually explain the results. 997 01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:33,000 So Ditchwater Sal tells Tristan in mouse form when you've been like this for too long, it's going to be jarring. You're going to have like all this comes out of it. 998 01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:40,000 He sees the woman he loves, but his brain is so jumbled that he accidentally says the name of the woman he loved last week. 999 01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:52,000 Right. Yeah. Call it Victoria. Yeah. Yes. And the movie never it does explain why he might say something like that, but it doesn't actually explain that that's what happened. 1000 01:32:52,000 --> 01:33:00,000 And I love that. Again, trust your audience. I will love it every single time. That is a me thing. I have to admit. 1001 01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:06,000 At the end, and he tells her he heard. Oh, my God. Her reaction is wonderful. 1002 01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:11,000 Mm hmm. Yeah. So spectacularly. 1003 01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:23,000 I mean, I mean, look, I know she's done serious stuff since then. Oh, dark 30 and stuff like that. Like we know she is a quality serious actors. 1004 01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:32,000 Zero dark 30. Was it was that the one she was in or am I thinking of something else with the Navy SEALs? She was in like, I think so. Yeah. 1005 01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:38,000 Zero dark 30. What did I say? Oh, dark 30. And I was wondering if there was like something else that I didn't know about. 1006 01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:48,000 Sorry. That's why I was just making sure it was the Navy SEALs one. No big deal. Right. Yeah. But yeah, no, it's like she did like a really serious, you know, you know, drama, you know, things we know. 1007 01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:56,000 She, you know, we know she's got the chops. But I mean, her wheelhouse is adorable. Like that's that's her thing. 1008 01:33:56,000 --> 01:34:05,000 Like she does adorable like nobody does adorable. Like, you know, and I mean that with all due respect. Oh, absolutely. Like that's like you. 1009 01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:14,000 There are a lot of examples of actors trying to be adorable and instead they kind of come across bratty and entitled sounding. Right. 1010 01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:25,000 Even though Daines was kind of, I think, supposed to sound bratty and entitled or any of this never came across that way to me. No, yeah. Not a single time. 1011 01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:38,000 He confesses what the captain had actually said, and it was that your true love is right in front of you. And the fact that he just tells her and he was right. 1012 01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:43,000 Oh, that's some Casanova shit, buddy. That was smooth as eggs. 1013 01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:52,000 He learned a lot on that pirate ship. He learned. He learned to sword fight. He learned to dance. He learned to work it. 1014 01:34:52,000 --> 01:35:03,000 There you go. I love and then they have like we find out that they went into a lovemaking scene through Mark Healy popping through the wall of the slaughtered prince. 1015 01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:09,000 Fantastic to have six slaughtered princes hanging out on the balcony of the slaughtered prince. 1016 01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:13,000 And he pops his head like, hey, guys, you got to come check this out. And they're like. 1017 01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:27,000 Fantastic dynamite. I. Every minute of this, there was a moment that there was too much to talk about in this. 1018 01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:30,000 I love this movie. Yeah. 1019 01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:37,000 Waking up, cutting a piece of the star and leaving a message with the sleepy

innkeeper and he's off. 1020 01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:46,000 For folks who haven't seen it, be a little more specific. He cuts off a lot of her hair, not like a pinky finger or something. 1021 01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:53,000 It's still a piece of the star. But then, yeah. So, OK, yes, he cuts a piece of her hair. 1022 01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:58,000 He doesn't take her foot or anything. Yeah. But then Dane wakes up. 1023 01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:08,000 All shiny and whatnot, walking around the inn at wall shining, which they're supposed to keep this a secret, but this is not a secret at any point in this movie. 1024 01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:12,000 No, she's literally glowing like everywhere she goes. 1025 01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:17,000 There's just like this, you know, it's and the innkeeper apparently doesn't notice. 1026 01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:20,000 He's he's just like, hey, I don't know. 1027 01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:23,000 Morning sunshine, I guess. Right. 1028 01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:28,000 The innkeeper, man, I see all kinds of shit glowing. This is a magical kingdom. 1029 01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:31,000 I don't know what you drank last night. 1030 01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:39,000 The innkeeper gives a warped version of the message and is almost exactly perfect. 1031 01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:47,000 It's just if you don't think about it or if you think like that is the way he gave the message was kind of perfect for a misunderstanding. 1032 01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:49,000 And I loved it. Right. 1033 01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:55,000 Well, because most of it didn't even come off in the wording, he may have worded it exactly the way Tristan did for him. 1034 01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:59,000 It was his tone of voice because he's this put upon a whole innkeeper. 1035 01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:05,000 He puts it in the tone of voice that makes it sound more like a fuck you than it meant to be. 1036 01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:10,000 Very, very good decision. But this is what you were talking about. 1037 01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:15,000 So you vain is walking through the market, just all sad, not listening to anything. 1038 01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:27,000 And Una, Tristan's mom, is like screaming at her to get her attention because Ditchwater Sal, they set up the cart, they set up the market and Ditchwater Sal went to go take a nap. 1039 01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:36,000 And you vain just keeps going. So what does mom do? Slams the door shut on Ditchwater Sal and then steals the cart and hijacks the cart to go save the day. 1040 01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:43,000 Outstanding. I loved that. I had fantastic time with that. 1041 01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:51,000 Tristan showing up, no longer throwing pebbles at the window, but knocking on the front door like he respects himself. 1042 01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:59,000 And then insulting Victoria so perfectly and dropping her on the ground. 1043 01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:07,000 And then Superman shows up and just drops the lugs like, apparently you have a death wish. 1044 01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:17,000 I loved it. Loved it. Because Superman shows up to fight, Daredevil pulls out a big sword and Superman just, ah, right. 1045 01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:22,000 Right. Just perfect. 1046 01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:28,000 And I love like, yes, because Tristan's like, I'm free. It's fine. It's fine. 1047 01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:40,000 We don't need to do this. You win. Like, oh, way to just be absolutely humiliated and then crushed by an actual man. 1048 01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:43,000 Yeah, that was how. 1049 01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:52,000 And then that's where we and that's where we get the big important reveal when when Victoria opens the the handkerchief that's supposed to have block of hair in it. 1050 01:38:52,000 --> 01:39:03,000 And it's just a bunch of sparkly dust. And she's like, what am I supposed to do with this dust? And that's when Tristan has his oh shit moment and turns and sprints back to the wall. 1051 01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:09,000 Yep, because magic does not exist in our world. And if Yvain were to cross the wall, she would die. 1052 01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:14,000 So he sprints back to that wall. 1053 01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:22,000 And the anticipation in the editing misleads the timing very much like you think that it might actually be close or something like that. 1054 01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:33,000 And I guess it is kind of close. But still, I mean, the guard is like 100 feet away from the wall because he's already walking away after everything has gone down. 1055 01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:39,000 But the editing that did pull the trick on me. And I got to give it that. 1056 01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:44,000 And everything kind of like kind of meets. 1057 01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:48,000 Ditchwater comes out of the cart and sees her. 1058 01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:54,000 My mom shows up at the hole in the wall just in time to stop her from crossing. 1059 01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:59,000 Yeah. And goes like, you can't do it. You know, and they're about to get into it. 1060 01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:02,000 But, you know, she's like, getting ready to say, like, I'm Tristan's mom. 1061 01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:09,000 She's ready to do it. But then Ditchwater Sal busts out of the cart and is ready to kick some ass because she's just been taken for a ride. 1062 01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:16,000 But then Pfeiffer shows up. And then the exact same thing that Ditchwater Sal said to her earlier in the film, heads or tails. 1063 01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:21,000 And then she just takes Ditchwater Sal's head off, which nice. 1064 01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:28,000 Right. With the added bit of comedy that Ditchwater Sal's body is running around headless for a couple of seconds before it finally goes away. 1065 01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:32,000 You need the comedy. You need it. You need it for like this type of movie. 1066 01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:35,000 It was perfect. 1067 01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:43,000 Tristan shows up and the guard quits. Strong is

shortly behind and everybody is on their way to the Witch's Cathedral. 1068 01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:50,000 And I love the guards whole bit too, where he's like, I've been guarding this wall for 80 years to keep dorks like you out. 1069 01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:55,000 No one told me about the crazy shit that's coming from the other side. 1070 01:40:55,000 --> 01:41:02,000 That was good. Fantastic intro between uncle and nephew. 1071 01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:03,000 Mm hmm. 1072 01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:09,000 Like that was great. I like they charge in and the family is fully back together again. 1073 01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:14,000 And Septimus just goes and tackles Uno without even thinking about it. 1074 01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:18,000 It's like, ah, there's a person and just goes right after her. 1075 01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:26,000 Realizes sister and then all the dead ghost. Ah, sister. 1076 01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:30,000 You are so right, man. You are so right. The ghost. 1077 01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:37,000 Like if nothing else in this movie was was good, the ghost would have made this movie. 1078 01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:41,000 Yeah. Kind of amazing how powerful they were there. 1079 01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:48,000 But then when Tristan almost attacks his mom and then she has that I'm your mother and like all of that. 1080 01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:52,000 That it was tugging at the heartstrings. It very much was. 1081 01:41:52,000 --> 01:42:00,000 I'm not going to lie until she went, go be the man. I know you are. So you don't know nothing. You think. 1082 01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:07,000 Well, you have hopes. Yeah, there's hopes in there, you know, and maybe, you know, there's there's also her dad. 1083 01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:13,000 She's she's probably, you know, she's she's known him for a few hours as a mouse. 1084 01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:18,000 That's it. She don't know nothing about it. 1085 01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:26,000 Strong taking out that first witch by just chucking that huge sword at her. 1086 01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:28,000 That was a heavier moment. 1087 01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:34,000 But with her laughing it off, that's what tied it in to where the kids and the adults can watch this one. 1088 01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:39,000 And that's the thing is like this this had a this handled like like you said, there's the blue blood. 1089 01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:46,000 There was the comedy of the headless witch running around for a movie with such a high body count. 1090 01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:49,000 It's surprisingly kid friendly. Yeah. Right. 1091 01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:53,000 I think just oh, my God. 1092 01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:57,000 But yes, and of course, the dead brothers applaud again. 1093 01:42:57,000 --> 01:43:00,000 The voodoo doll drowning death. 1094 01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:04,000 Wow. Incredibly well done. 1095 01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:07,000 Yeah. The way he looked drowning. 1096 01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:11,000 All of it. Everything was so good. 1097 01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:19,000 Fun fact about this scene, the knife that she's sharpening to cut open your vein and take the star's heart. 1098 01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:25,000 Matthew Vaughn had that glass knife made to go up against Magneto in the X-Men films, 1099 01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:33,000 but they never actually found a reason to use it, so he wound up using it in this instead. And holy crap, it worked perfect. 1100 01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:45,000 Nice. It matched the tone so well, but it did make me wonder what character was supposed to use that glass knife against Magneto in X-Men. 1101 01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:51,000 But yeah, no, Matthew like Matthew Vaughn had that made for the X-Men like for whichever X-Men movies he was on. 1102 01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:58,000 And dude, I'm so happy that he was able to keep that prop and put it in another movie. 1103 01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:02,000 I never I don't even know if I would think about stuff like that. That is incredible. 1104 01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:05,000 I love it. Love it. God damn. 1105 01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:12,000 Now here is potentially my one and only plot hole of this otherwise perfect film. 1106 01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:14,000 In my eyes, perfect film. 1107 01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:23,000 When Tristan shows up and Yvain starts shining super brightly, why didn't they just kill her that very second? 1108 01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:25,000 Good question. Good question. 1109 01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:31,000 That is the only that like literally that is the only plot hole. That is the only thing that I can't figure out. 1110 01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:38,000 If everything that they seem to that they seem to believe in that would that would have been the perfect moment to do it. 1111 01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:44,000 And yeah, and putting it off would have just, you know, been asking for trouble, you know. 1112 01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:47,000 Yeah, that's it. Yeah, I think that basically I think we're just basically going to have to. 1113 01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:52,000 Yeah, I don't think that there is an explanation for that other than because, you know, then the movie would have been over. 1114 01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:55,000 So, you know, small plot hole, I guess is what it is. 1115 01:44:55,000 --> 01:45:01,000 Yeah. So the second which goes down with the animals getting their revenge. 1116 01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:05,000 Yeah, yeah. That's a kid moment. That was good. That's a kid moment for sure. 1117 01:45:05,000 --> 01:45:08,000 Protected by the flowers, so she gets creative. 1118 01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:18,000 And when she pulls that like telepathy or telekinesis or whatever to get that large vase to come forward and hit Tristan, 1119 01:45:18,000 --> 01:45:22,000 Charlie Cox, real world, the actor, got knocked out by that stunt. 1120 01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:26,000 So when he goes down and hits the ground, not a stunt. 1121 01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:33,000 He is like that is that is why that works so well and looked so

good because he actually got his ass knocked out by that vase. 1122 01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:38,000 Wow. Nice. Nice. OK. Well, you know, I liked it. 1123 01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:41,000 We all suffer for our art. You know, very true. 1124 01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:43,000 I've talked I've mentioned this before. 1125 01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:51,000 You know, the division between the world of making movies and workplace safety. 1126 01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:55,000 OK. Yeah, it is a it is a very terse divide. 1127 01:45:55,000 --> 01:46:00,000 But, you know, to say it's it hurts me to say it's necessary. 1128 01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:07,000 As many hours as I want to spend talking about this, I only have one note for it. 1129 01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:15,000 Tristan versus Dead Strong was such a cool scene with the way that it was choreographed and how it was pulled off. 1130 01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:25,000 Oh, my God. The not not just how the stuntman that was playing Septimus, 1131 01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:30,000 not not not just how well he was bending over to do all these. 1132 01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:34,000 That was a good sword fight if he was standing up correctly. 1133 01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:37,000 There was speed. There was precision. 1134 01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:39,000 Everything about that was absolutely incredible. 1135 01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:44,000 And the dude was doubled over from the hip backwards. 1136 01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:51,000 That is that that that might be that might be my favorite sword fight scene. 1137 01:46:51,000 --> 01:47:03,000 Set aside from the technical sword fighting skills, just having it be like entertainment value and just like me just staring at the sword fight, wondering how are they doing this? 1138 01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:10,000 Like this scene got me all the way in. 1139 01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:14,000 The process of elimination with the ropes. 1140 01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:16,000 Because that's how that would go for me. 1141 01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:21,000 It doesn't matter whatever hero you are, you're never going to cut the right rope right the first time. 1142 01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:24,000 I mean, I can't I highly doubt it would ever go that way. 1143 01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:28,000 But eventually it gets it right. And then he tackles Michelle Pfeiffer. 1144 01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:33,000 What a film debut getting to tackle Michelle Pfeiffer and Claire Danes. 1145 01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:39,000 This was this for it was a career highlight for this guy before his career even started. 1146 01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:42,000 He gets to tackle Michelle Pfeiffer. He tackles Claire Danes. 1147 01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:47,000 He's going to be on a date with Sienna Miller. 1148 01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:54,000 Yeah, he's playing a fun nephew with Robert De Niro and a bunch of pirates. 1149 01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:57,000 Mark Strong, Jason Fleming, Kate McGowan. 1150 01:47:57,000 --> 01:48:02,000 I mean, dude, he gets to intimidate Henry Cavill. 1151 01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:04,000 Oh, man, I know. 1152 01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:09,000 I mean, it's amazing. He stayed in the biz after this because he's like, what else am I going to do? 1153 01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:14,000 Yeah, you got to be daredevil, be daredevil. That was the only place you can go after that. 1154 01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:18,000 Was and is perfect. You outstanding. 1155 01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:24,000 Pfeiffer, which with the knife fighting skills, just nice. 1156 01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:30,000 Like that fight was great. And it looked like that was Michelle Pfeiffer doing it. 1157 01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:34,000 Yeah, like the way they edited it, that looked like Michelle Pfeiffer, 1158 01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:41,000 but she was also in witch makeup, so that probably was very easy to do the same makeup for a stunt double and make it that confusing. 1159 01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:43,000 Don't care. They pulled it off. 1160 01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:51,000 But also for someone as seasoned as Michelle Pfeiffer, I would not at all put it past her to do six months of training before filming. 1161 01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:53,000 That's absolutely her style. 1162 01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:55,000 I would absolutely agree. I can complete that. 1163 01:48:55,000 --> 01:48:57,000 Like, oh my God, yeah. 1164 01:48:57,000 --> 01:49:02,000 But then she toys with them by like tricking them into thinking that she's going to let them go, 1165 01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:06,000 which was weird because she had them. Right. 1166 01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:08,000 Yeah. So that is just the Incredibles. 1167 01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:13,000 Like the monologuing thing kind of kicking in. Right. 1168 01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:17,000 I like that. What do stars do? Shine. 1169 01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:23,000 And then a spirit bomb, I guess something like that. Yeah. Yeah. 1170 01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:26,000 But then she went supernova, I guess, basically is what pretty much. 1171 01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:28,000 Yeah. White dwarf, whatever you want to call it. 1172 01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:33,000 And she's like, no star can shine with a broken heart. 1173 01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:35,000 I couldn't have done that without you. 1174 01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:40,000 Just I'm sorry. So beautiful. 1175 01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:44,000 Just so beautiful. I mean, come on. 1176 01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:53,000 Like, it just it reached into that part of me and ripped it out and just went, no, you love this. 1177 01:49:53,000 --> 01:50:01,000 And I'm like, I do. I just oh my God, I was all the way in. 1178 01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:05,000 Tristan goes to pick up the diamond for your vein. 1179 01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:11,000 It turns into a ruby and all of the uncles are like, oh, so what happens now? 1180 01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:17,000 And then, like because there's a new king and all that, which a fantastic moment. 1181 01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:23,000 You got it. Six of those brothers turned into white lights that went up.

1182 01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:26,000 And then Septimus turned into a red light that went down. 1183 01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:31,000 I did not catch that. No, that is that is pretty good. That is pretty good. 1184 01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:36,000 I think this is the first time I noticed that because I was paying so hardcore of attention. 1185 01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:40,000 But when I saw that red light, I was like. 1186 01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:47,000 You are your host. This movie is all I love it. I love it so much. 1187 01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:56,000 The Royal Wedding and Superman's got the hots for Captain Shakespeare. 1188 01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:04,000 I love that Henry Cavill threw the wank to De Niro, which also great moment for Cavill's early career. 1189 01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:06,000 Right. Come on. That's true. 1190 01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:13,000 And then Sienna Miller's just. Oh, it's so good. 1191 01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:23,000 So good. A Babylon candle as a wedding gift from mom and dad and mom and dad are now back together and seeming very happy. 1192 01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:27,000 I love that. It's I mean, you could not. 1193 01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:31,000 I mean, they're like we talk like fairy tales having the happily ever after type thing. 1194 01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:36,000 Like this is happily ever after times six is what happens right here. 1195 01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:39,000 But nothing doesn't make sense. And that is just. 1196 01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:43,000 God, what a movie. Last two notes. 1197 01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:54,000 They ruled for 80 years and after their grandchildren were grown, they left for the sky because as Yvain eluded earlier, he has her heart. 1198 01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:57,000 Her heart belongs to him because they're in love. 1199 01:51:57,000 --> 01:52:02,000 So Tristan is never going to age. He's going to live forever. 1200 01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:09,000 And after 80 years, they shoot off into the sky and just what a beautiful movie. 1201 01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:11,000 What a beautiful movie. 1202 01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:13,000 Now, this is people. 1203 01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:19,000 People may talk shit about like overly saccharine, sappy, happy ending type thing. 1204 01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:22,000 But I mean, when if you pull it off, it's there. 1205 01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:30,000 Yeah, when you can't you can't deny that like this is a this this is a movie that makes you feel good in every way. 1206 01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:33,000 And that's what that's what it's there for. 1207 01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:38,000 Wow. Being you know, it's got good life advice in it and all that sort of stuff. 1208 01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:44,000 I mean, yeah, you'd be very, very, very hard pressed to find anything wrong with this movie. 1209 01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:46,000 You can't you know, no reason not to show it to your kids. 1210 01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:48,000 No reason not to watch it on a date. 1211 01:52:48,000 --> 01:52:59,000 No reason to just have it playing on the background for the rest of your life where you're working because fucking a you know, there's no there's no scenario that this film would not be appropriate. 1212 01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:08,000 Yeah. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, like I mean, a regular ass day of the year, feeling bad, feeling good. 1213 01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:13,000 This movie is there for I mean. 1214 01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:16,000 What are the what are your final thoughts on this? 1215 01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:19,000 I mean, good God, all we did was gush about this for two hours. 1216 01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:22,000 Right. No. Yeah, I'd say this is a must see. 1217 01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:25,000 It's a it's a it's a timeless fairy tale. 1218 01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:36,000 It's right up there with The Wizard of Oz as a movie that that, you know, will live on for 100 plus years, I think, is a classic everyone should be. 1219 01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:45,000 Yeah, I don't know if it's got that same sort of like it doesn't it doesn't use like CG for the animals like the bird that the mom was. 1220 01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:48,000 That was a real bird. It was just the transition. 1221 01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:55,000 So the CG is not going to like there was no CG in this set aside from maybe some flames and stuff. 1222 01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:58,000 It's not going to age. 1223 01:53:58,000 --> 01:54:02,000 Yeah, no. Yeah. And yeah, no. 1224 01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:06,000 Well, yeah, I mean, I think that basically it sits in the same place as Wizard of Oz for me. 1225 01:54:06,000 --> 01:54:07,000 It's a modern day Wizard of Oz. 1226 01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:17,000 It is a timeless classic that everyone should see. Everyone should be watching as kids on holidays. And yeah, 100 percent. 1227 01:54:17,000 --> 01:54:25,000 All right. And it's and I think it's like I think, yeah, I think we can I think we can safely say there's at least one movie like that every 100 years. 1228 01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:27,000 Seems to be the case. 1229 01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:31,000 If it is this one, I would not be surprised. 1230 01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:34,000 I do not believe this movie is ever going to disappear. 1231 01:54:34,000 --> 01:54:45,000 It's too good. And even if it does kind of disappear from the zeitgeist, anybody who goes and watches it is going to flip out and go to all their friends and go, dude, have you seen this? 1232 01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:48,000 It is one of those. 1233 01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:58,000 All right. And part two of tonight's episode is going to be The Golden Compass, directed by Chris Weitz and somewhat Ann Ann Tucker, 1234 01:54:58,000 --> 01:55:12,000 written by Chris Weitz based on the novel Northern Lights by Philip Pullman starring Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Dakota Blue Richards, Ben Walker, Freddie Highmore and Sir Ian McKellen 1235 01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:24,000 with Ava Green, Jim Carter, Tom Courtenay, Ian McShane, Sam Elliott, Kathy Bates, Simon

McBurney and Christopher Lee. 1236 01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:28,000 I mean, another bang up cast. 1237 01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:33,000 Oh, absolutely. The cast. Yes. The cast. Amazing. 1238 01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:45,000 So apparently, see, here's the thing. I haven't read it. But apparently this book series, like Northern Lights is the first of a series that apparently is called the His Dark Materials series. 1239 01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:46,000 Yes. Yes. 1240 01:55:46,000 --> 01:55:50,000 I have heard very, very good things about this book series. 1241 01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:52,000 As have I. 1242 01:55:52,000 --> 01:56:07,000 No one has been satisfied with this adaptation yet. This movie was apparently, I read somewhere that this movie was the reason why George R.R. Martin refused to let Game of Thrones be made into a movie. 1243 01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:16,000 That is actually my first note that George R.R. Martin, you're right, cited this as one of the main reasons he wanted Game of Thrones to be a series instead of a movie. 1244 01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:21,000 One hundred percent. And I can completely see why. 1245 01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:31,000 Right. And the series that they did do on Showtime for this was pretty good. I thought it was definitely better than the movie. 1246 01:56:31,000 --> 01:56:38,000 But apparently even that, the people who are fans of the book, apparently even that was unsatisfactory to the book's fans. 1247 01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:54,000 So when I told, I watched this movie and because it was one of your recommendations, kind of, and I'm realizing now that the conversation, it actually wasn't one of your recommendations. 1248 01:56:54,000 --> 01:57:02,000 But I was confused and I went ahead and bought it on Amazon Prime. 1249 01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:03,000 Yes. 1250 01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:09,000 And here's the thing about Amazon Prime. Once it's in your library, you can't remove it. 1251 01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:17,000 So I will always have the reminder of having bought this and I'm never going to watch it again. 1252 01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:19,000 You know, here's the thing I remember. 1253 01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:20,000 And this is what I remember. 1254 01:57:20,000 --> 01:57:22,000 Oh, the point, the point, the point. 1255 01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:29,000 So the point for me bringing that up, I'm never going to watch it again, is I wasn't able to watch this movie twice to take notes on it. 1256 01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:33,000 I watched it once and went, no. 1257 01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:38,000 So all of the notes that I have are just kind of trivia about it. 1258 01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:46,000 Yeah. Well, and I know, you know, because, okay, first of all, let me, let me just recap real quick. 1259 01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:58,000 The week that I have had, okay, as you may remember last week, I was, for fear that I was not going to be able to perform last week, I hyped myself up on caffeine in order to get through the show. 1260 01:57:58,000 --> 01:58:00,000 Yes. 1261 01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:04,000 That was a substantial mistake. 1262 01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:12,000 That was a life error because after the show was over, I did not sleep that night. 1263 01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:20,000 I like, I did not even start to get sleepy until about 7 a.m. that the next morning. 1264 01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:21,000 Whoa. 1265 01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:32,000 Yeah, that has fucked my life up to an unbelievable degree since then, trying to work, trying to do things. 1266 01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:33,000 I've been forgetting to take my meds. 1267 01:58:33,000 --> 01:58:38,000 Like, I have not been able to get my feet back from under me since then. 1268 01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:42,000 I made a huge mistake. 1269 01:58:42,000 --> 01:58:55,000 So when you said to me, because you watched the Golden Compass like right away, like almost right after the very next day after that show, after we agreed to do this. 1270 01:58:55,000 --> 01:58:57,000 And you were like, are you sure that you want to do this? 1271 01:58:57,000 --> 01:59:03,000 And I just kind of offhandedly went like, hey, you know, I know, I know that we say that we're not that kind of show, but you know what? 1272 01:59:03,000 --> 01:59:07,000 It's probably good to toss it up once in a while and not gush over every movie. 1273 01:59:07,000 --> 01:59:12,000 You know what? I was. Thank you for bringing that up because I was so confused by that. 1274 01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:16,000 I'm like, I think I see where Doc's coming from. 1275 01:59:16,000 --> 01:59:23,000 But oh my God, I don't want to do this to myself again. 1276 01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:25,000 But I had not watched it yet. 1277 01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:31,000 I did not actually have a chance to get myself to sit down and watch it until this morning. 1278 01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:35,000 Oh, so. 1279 01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:44,000 Yeah, I made a huge mistake and I'm still like I said, I'm still not fully recovered from my big mistake last week. 1280 01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:48,000 And so I know you asked me to go ahead and be the one to take notes on this. And I tried. 1281 01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:51,000 I really, really did. 1282 01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:56,000 First of all, I can't even read my own handwriting. 1283 01:59:56,000 --> 01:59:59,000 I get that. That's why I switched over to typing. 1284 01:59:59,000 --> 02:00:06,000 I'm. Yeah. Second of all, I don't think these notes would have been that much that helpful anyway. 1285 02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:11,000 We can tell we can we can we will do what we can. 1286 02:00:11,000 --> 02:00:15,000 So some of the things to kind of talk about it in the abstract, we can. 1287 02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:21,000 I mean, I think because I think we're both in agreement that what it's going to come down to is we're going to basically say, don't bother with this. 1288 02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:24,000 Oh, don't bother with this movie. Absolutely not. No, no, no. 1289 02:00:24,000 -->

02:00:31,000 Like, yes, everybody will say the book is better than the movie. This one don't the movie. 1290 02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:36,000 The director didn't like it. The actors didn't like it. The the author didn't like it. 1291 02:00:36,000 --> 02:00:44,000 Nobody liked this movie. And the thing is, is that it's it's not even you can't even say it's entertainingly bad. 1292 02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:50,000 There's nothing that is outwardly bad about the movie. There's just nothing about it that's good. 1293 02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:57,000 Everything out of it, everything in this movie is just kind of meh, you know, and they tear through the story. 1294 02:00:57,000 --> 02:01:01,000 I assume, you know, must be a pretty epic tale in this book. 1295 02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:08,000 They pound through the plot so fast that you're kind of left going, what is even the point of any of this? 1296 02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:17,000 Like, I think one of the notes I do remember writing down was that our main character, her name is Lyra. 1297 02:01:17,000 --> 02:01:28,000 Lyra seems to have chosen one syndrome, meaning everyone just sort of assumes she's the hero of the story upon meeting her. 1298 02:01:28,000 --> 02:01:36,000 There's no like even like Sam Elliott's character. He's like hanging out in the docks, sees her sitting over there and goes. 1299 02:01:36,000 --> 02:01:39,000 He looks like she might change my life. Hey, little girl. 1300 02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:44,000 Yeah, that was very, very awkward. How about I do whatever you ask forever now? 1301 02:01:44,000 --> 02:01:49,000 And that's how this whole movie goes by. She doesn't even help the bear get the armor. 1302 02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:57,000 She just tells him where it is, which is in the most obvious place that it possibly could have been. 1303 02:01:57,000 --> 02:02:05,000 Like this movie was so dumb. Like, it seemed like a Harry Potter ripoff. 1304 02:02:05,000 --> 02:02:07,000 Which I think probably was what they had in mind. 1305 02:02:07,000 --> 02:02:14,000 I'm like 90 percent sure because this movie came out like right in the middle of the Harry Potter franchise fame. 1306 02:02:14,000 --> 02:02:19,000 Like maybe I want to say like Harry Potter four maybe had just come out, maybe five. 1307 02:02:19,000 --> 02:02:22,000 Whatever 2007. Right. Yeah. 1308 02:02:22,000 --> 02:02:30,000 And so, yeah, I think this is probably another, you know, another studio's hope that they're going to get in on the young adult magic book series franchise. 1309 02:02:30,000 --> 02:02:38,000 And they went for all the young adult movie, movie book tropes and everything. And none of them worked. 1310 02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:41,000 Yeah, none of them worked. 1311 02:02:41,000 --> 02:02:55,000 Director Chris Weitz has spoken on his annoyance from studio interference and how his original film was trashed due to requirements of runtime, casting and toning down religious subtext. 1312 02:02:55,000 --> 02:03:00,000 See. OK,

now here's the thing. That's the point from what I've heard again. 1313 02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:03,000 I've got friends that are huge fans of this. Oh, yeah. From what I was. Yeah. 1314 02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:09,000 Of this book is the fact that religion is a problem in this world. 1315 02:03:09,000 --> 02:03:20,000 Like this is this takes the, you know, not so much now, but definitely in like the Dark Ages type thing of the the church versus scientific advancement and blows it up a thousand fold. 1316 02:03:20,000 --> 02:03:28,000 Because that is the entire point of the story. So to say we need to tone down the religious subtext, it's like, where the fuck are you even making the movie then? 1317 02:03:28,000 --> 02:03:34,000 Chuck Norris condemned this movie as anti-Christian. 1318 02:03:34,000 --> 02:03:38,000 Well, OK, so Chuck Norris was right this one time. 1319 02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:52,000 OK, well, see, here's the thing. The studios jumped in to tone down the religious subtext and the Christian community still boycotted this film anyway. Don't do that. 1320 02:03:52,000 --> 02:04:00,000 Like they're going to lose their minds anyway. Don't try to appease them. Make your art. 1321 02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:09,000 Just make it. You're not going to make you're not going to make everybody happy. That's not freaking impossible unless you're making Stardust. 1322 02:04:09,000 --> 02:04:15,000 But you're not going to make anybody like everybody. 1323 02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:21,000 I'm so. You can't make everyone happy except Stardust. That one will make everyone in the world happy. 1324 02:04:21,000 --> 02:04:27,000 I need to find a person who doesn't like Stardust. I need to find that person because I need to know why. 1325 02:04:27,000 --> 02:04:34,000 And dissect their brain. I do. I cannot understand how you can rationalize not loving that movie. 1326 02:04:34,000 --> 02:04:43,000 OK, so Dakota Blue Richards, she won this role in a 10,000 actor open casting call. 1327 02:04:43,000 --> 02:04:48,000 And because they really, really thought she was going to be the next Hermione Granger. They were so sure of it. 1328 02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:55,000 It really. Yeah, they really. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't even know if she became a better actor. 1329 02:04:55,000 --> 02:05:00,000 I did not think she gave a good performance in this. And I know it's kind of rude. 1330 02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:04,000 It's mean to slam child actors and stuff like that. They're child actors. I get it. 1331 02:05:04,000 --> 02:05:10,000 But we have many examples of child actors absolutely crushing it. 1332 02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:24,000 And I mean, Watson, for example, Emma Watson, for example, the like the amazing young woman who crushed it in The Borrowers and then just retired from it. 1333 02:05:24,000 --> 02:05:27,000 Retired from acting. Right. Yeah. 1334 02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:33,000 Like, no, open casting calls can work. This time, I just don't think it did. 1335 02:05:33,000 --> 02:05:40,000 And if you love this little girl's performance, that is, I guess this is subjective. 1336 02:05:40,000 --> 02:05:47,000 This is not a factual I am not an acting coach or critic or anything like that. 1337 02:05:47,000 --> 02:06:01,000 This is just it comes it comes down with the rest of the like her performance like and honestly, so was everyone's performance like even even, you know, Daniel Craig was just kind of so what in this whole movie? 1338 02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:09,000 Like, Daniel Craig was in this movie so little. If he wasn't Daniel Craig, I would have forgot that that character was in the movie. 1339 02:06:09,000 --> 02:06:12,000 No, that's a good point. Yeah. No. Yeah. 1340 02:06:12,000 --> 02:06:18,000 Like that's the only reason I remember half of these characters is because they were played by really famous people. 1341 02:06:18,000 --> 02:06:23,000 Yeah. But all the performances and all the characters were all very kind of so what? 1342 02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:29,000 So, yeah, I mean, it was like I don't think it was a good to say an Ian McKellen performance did not land on me. 1343 02:06:29,000 --> 02:06:32,000 That is weird. Yeah. 1344 02:06:32,000 --> 02:06:43,000 That is not something that I ever thought I would say that was especially that character. That was a character that should have been an absolute meal for someone like like Ian McShane. 1345 02:06:43,000 --> 02:06:47,000 But McKellen, McKellen, sorry. 1346 02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:54,000 Ian McShane is also in this, but he had top billing for the film and he only had one line in the entire movie. 1347 02:06:54,000 --> 02:06:58,000 Right. Yeah. 1348 02:06:58,000 --> 02:07:03,000 Wait, no, wait a second. Isn't Ian McShane the Bear King? 1349 02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:10,000 That was one of the that was one of the trivia things that I came across was the fact that he said that he only had one line. 1350 02:07:10,000 --> 02:07:14,000 So I maybe that trivia was just wrong. 1351 02:07:14,000 --> 02:07:19,000 But I think you're right. He was he was the other Bear King. I thought. Yeah. 1352 02:07:19,000 --> 02:07:24,000 Okay. I thought that's who I recognized as his voice. Then was it Christopher Lee that only had one line? 1353 02:07:24,000 --> 02:07:30,000 Maybe it was Christopher Lee that only had one line. Okay. I may be I may be getting that one mixed up because I didn't write that down. 1354 02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:36,000 Pierce Brosnan even does a whole hum job in this for a character that he should have been making me a love. 1355 02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:42,000 Pierce Brosnan was in this? Wasn't that wasn't that Pierce Brosnan is the the old man, the the the father. 1356 02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:45,000 What's his name? Father. 1357 02:07:45,000 --> 02:07:47,000 I was mistaken him for somebody else. 1358 02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:50,000 Pierce Brosnan? 1359 02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:52,000 Are you thinking of the right actor? 1360 02:07:52,000 -->

02:07:54,000 Maybe. 1361 02:07:54,000 --> 02:07:56,000 It's been a long week, man. 1362 02:07:56,000 --> 02:07:58,000 You did say that you might have to cut this bit. 1363 02:07:58,000 --> 02:08:02,000 You might have to cut this bit out depending on how embarrassing I'm getting this. 1364 02:08:02,000 --> 02:08:04,000 This ends up being there. 1365 02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:10,000 There's like I actually had some weird crossovers this week because I watched Gladiator this week, too. 1366 02:08:10,000 --> 02:08:18,000 So one of the one of the church members was the the guy who played Gracchus in Gladiator. 1367 02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:22,000 Oh, I was wrong. It was Tom Courtney. 1368 02:08:22,000 --> 02:08:25,000 Okay. For some reason to the whole movie, I thought he was Pierce Brosnan. 1369 02:08:25,000 --> 02:08:28,000 He just because he looks like a really old Pierce Brosnan. 1370 02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:31,000 I thought it was I thought it was Pierce Brosnan playing an old man. 1371 02:08:31,000 --> 02:08:38,000 Okay, I come I I'm not going to watch this movie again to find out who you're looking at. 1372 02:08:38,000 --> 02:08:41,000 Are you talking about just send me a picture of the character? 1373 02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:43,000 Just God, no. 1374 02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:54,000 No, it was the guy the guy who when the witch shows up, which, by the way, you know, when my God Ava Green. 1375 02:08:54,000 --> 02:08:56,000 Wow, Ava Green. Yeah. 1376 02:08:56,000 --> 02:09:04,000 Ava Green shows up literally out of nowhere and asks a little girl, are you little girl prophecy, which, you know, hello. 1377 02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:06,000 How are you? Nice to meet you. 1378 02:09:06,000 --> 02:09:15,000 And then says, I want to prove to me that you can use the compass. Tell me which one of the men on this ship used to be my lover. 1379 02:09:15,000 --> 02:09:18,000 Lady, we just met. 1380 02:09:18,000 --> 02:09:23,000 Also, this is a child. Maybe you don't want her looking at that. 1381 02:09:23,000 --> 02:09:27,000 But also, Ava Green. The answer to the question was this guy. 1382 02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:32,000 Oh, oh, OK. OK. OK. Then now I know who you're talking about. 1383 02:09:32,000 --> 02:09:37,000 But also speaking on Ava Green's character. 1384 02:09:37,000 --> 02:09:41,000 Her character in this film story is so weird. 1385 02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:46,000 The studio wanted reshoots, but Ava Green is deathly afraid of heights. 1386 02:09:46,000 --> 02:09:51,000 So getting up on the wires and doing all that the first time was something that she really had to push through. 1387 02:09:51,000 --> 02:09:56,000 So when it came time for reshoots, Ava Green just flat out said no. 1388 02:09:56,000 --> 02:09:57,000 Right. Yeah. 1389 02:09:57,000 --> 02:10:07,000 So the reason why her character is so little in this film is because they just they couldn't get her back up on those wires when they were demanding the reshoots. 1390 02:10:07,000 --> 02:10:12,000 So.

Good God, this movie was right. 1391 02:10:12,000 --> 02:10:21,000 I mean, OK, so when I was giving the cast and crew on this one and I mentioned that somewhat director, Annan Tucker, 1392 02:10:21,000 --> 02:10:29,000 the reason why he's a somewhat director is because Chris Weitz got so pissed off with all the interference and everything like that that was happening with this film that he left. 1393 02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:36,000 So then Annan came in and then he got so pissed off and so frustrated with everything that he quit. 1394 02:10:36,000 --> 02:10:40,000 And then Chris Weitz came back. Wow. OK. 1395 02:10:40,000 --> 02:10:48,000 Like this movie was a disaster all the way through and through behind the scenes and everything. 1396 02:10:48,000 --> 02:11:01,000 So much so that this movie caused the downfall of New Line Cinema as an independent film company, forcing it to join Warner Brothers after going bankrupt in 2008. 1397 02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:15,000 So New Line Cinema, which gave us in Red Bull, a lot of my favorite films, the 1989 slash 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, 1398 02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:24,000 one of my favorite New Line Cinema, the original Mortal Kombat movie, New Line Cinema, Blade, New Line Cinema. 1399 02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:29,000 And when it came to Lord of the Rings mainstream. 1400 02:11:29,000 --> 02:11:40,000 Yeah, when it came to the kooky non mainstream stuff that studios didn't want to touch, New Line Cinema were the ones they were brave enough to actually do, you know, new shit. 1401 02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:45,000 And just look, look at everything that they did before joining Warner Brothers. 1402 02:11:45,000 --> 02:11:49,000 Everything you just listed was an adaptation. I said even though everything you just listed was an adaptation. 1403 02:11:49,000 --> 02:11:54,000 Doesn't matter. When it was in their hands, they crushed it. Yeah, no, that's true. 1404 02:11:54,000 --> 02:12:02,000 Like it just doesn't matter. This was an adaptation. How well did they do? No, yeah, no, you got a point there. 1405 02:12:02,000 --> 02:12:10,000 Okay. And just, okay, my final note, because like I said, I barely took anything. 1406 02:12:10,000 --> 02:12:15,000 I wasn't going to watch it again. I wasn't going to do the scene by scene breakdown. 1407 02:12:15,000 --> 02:12:22,000 I'm so sorry, guys. I just could not bring myself to do this because multiple reasons. 1408 02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:28,000 One, I hated it, but it was also so bad that I just couldn't imagine that any of you enjoyed it. 1409 02:12:28,000 --> 02:12:37,000 So I didn't see the point. Even and even if you are someone who is curious about the book series and want to get like an easy taste of it, 1410 02:12:37,000 --> 02:12:45,000 go watch the Showtime series, better TV series out there. Yeah, there's a much, much better TV series out there that they only did two seasons before got canceled. 1411 02:12:45,000 --> 02:12:50,000 But it covers, I think, the first book and a half. And that's that's good. And I enjoyed it. 1412 02:12:50,000 --> 02:13:06,000 So, you know, well, that does that does say something. But this movie winning an Oscar for Best Visual Effects when it came out the same year as the first Transformers movie and Pirates of the Caribbean. 1413 02:13:06,000 --> 02:13:13,000 Are you Rick or Pirates of the Caribbean 2, the one with Davy Jones? 1414 02:13:13,000 --> 02:13:26,000 What this this won the Oscar over? Yes, over Bill Nye as Davy Jones. That does not make sense in any capacity. 1415 02:13:26,000 --> 02:13:33,000 Even Transformers was wildly, obviously, somebody got blackmailed. Somebody. 1416 02:13:33,000 --> 02:13:45,000 This was, oh, my God, is to this day, Davy Jones is some of the in my mind, like the Pirates of the Caribbean. Davy Jones is insanely amazing. 1417 02:13:45,000 --> 02:13:50,000 Yeah, it's crazy. Like I don't I haven't seen it's been what? 1418 02:13:50,000 --> 02:13:56,000 Almost 20 years and I still haven't seen anything that compares to it with all the new technology we've got. 1419 02:13:56,000 --> 02:14:03,000 I yeah, this that this is an Oscar winning movie. 1420 02:14:03,000 --> 02:14:07,000 That flanked the studio that destroyed a studio nearly killed a franchise. 1421 02:14:07,000 --> 02:14:17,000 But I do kind of understand why you may have accidentally upon wanting to watch this while you're in China. 1422 02:14:17,000 --> 02:14:27,000 New Line Cinema sold the overseas rights to this film, which is what would have actually saved New Line Cinema. But they sold but they sold their overseas rights. 1423 02:14:27,000 --> 02:14:33,000 So the two hundred million dollars that it made overseas, New Line Cinema didn't get any of it. 1424 02:14:33,000 --> 02:14:40,000 Dude, what the fuck? And they had they had to sell some of their rights just to get this film made. 1425 02:14:40,000 --> 02:14:51,000 They like literally this film destroyed New Line Cinema. The production of it and the release. 1426 02:14:51,000 --> 02:15:02,000 You know, I would say just from the historical standpoint of it, to see a studio go down, a studio like New Lane go down, you might want to see the movie that made it happen. 1427 02:15:02,000 --> 02:15:06,000 But don't you have you have like it's not worth it. It's not worth it. 1428 02:15:06,000 --> 02:15:08,000 You have better things to do with your life. 1429 02:15:08,000 --> 02:15:14,000 No, that is why you watch the show. So we can tell you the stuff like that. 1430 02:15:14,000 --> 02:15:27,000 Just go watch the trailer. Go watch the honest trailer. Go watch everything wrong with go watch anything other than this movie, because you're not going to get that time back. 1431 02:15:27,000 --> 02:15:34,000 And I just don't think you're going to feel good about yourself or the film industry after watching this. 1432 02:15:34,000 --> 02:15:42,000 Yeah, like there's nothing you're not going to. Yeah, it's not even like I said, it's

not even anything in there that's comically bad where you can have a good time laughing at it. 1433 02:15:42,000 --> 02:15:47,000 Like it's just the whole thing is just boring. 1434 02:15:47,000 --> 02:15:57,000 But I know it won the Oscar and I'm going to say that it's snubbed Transformers and Hearts the Caribbean 2. 1435 02:15:57,000 --> 02:16:04,000 But some of the CG for these animals was pretty damn good. 1436 02:16:04,000 --> 02:16:09,000 Some of it. They definitely put it like the polar bears, for instance, definitely came off really well, I thought. 1437 02:16:09,000 --> 02:16:15,000 I agree. The fight scene between the polar bears. Oh, yeah, that fight scene was. Yeah, that. 1438 02:16:15,000 --> 02:16:22,000 The intro scene where he's working the fire and stuff like that. That was kind of impressive. 1439 02:16:22,000 --> 02:16:27,000 I thought that was done. Well, yes. Yeah. But the lack of blood in this. 1440 02:16:27,000 --> 02:16:34,000 Oh, my God. You had a bear fight where they're covered in white fur and there's no blood. 1441 02:16:34,000 --> 02:16:39,000 And they're clawing each other and one dude literally gets his jaw ripped off. 1442 02:16:39,000 --> 02:16:45,000 No blood because it because it's supposed to be a kid's movie, even though again, see, this is another example. 1443 02:16:45,000 --> 02:16:56,000 Like we said, Stardust high body count, kid appropriate. This one also high body count crying badly to be kid appropriate. 1444 02:16:56,000 --> 02:17:02,000 Yes. And trying badly, like I said, like that whole scene about Eva Green asking like a nine year old girl, 1445 02:17:02,000 --> 02:17:09,000 tell me who I used to hook up with little girl. That's weird. 1446 02:17:09,000 --> 02:17:17,000 Like you're trying to go for a kid friendly and you wind up doing the like the most non kid friendly thing you could have done. 1447 02:17:17,000 --> 02:17:25,000 Right. Yeah. Just what a way to miss the mark and completely not understand what you were going for. 1448 02:17:25,000 --> 02:17:32,000 I. What else do you want to talk about with this one, Doc? 1449 02:17:32,000 --> 02:17:37,000 I mean, I don't know. Maybe if I had read the book, I could say something about that. 1450 02:17:37,000 --> 02:17:44,000 And I keep meaning to like I said, I know a few people that just absolutely go nuts over the series. 1451 02:17:44,000 --> 02:17:49,000 The series. Sure. Oh, wait, wait. The book series or the TV series? 1452 02:17:49,000 --> 02:17:56,000 The book series. No, his dark materials. I have heard great things about it and I may still go watch or read it one day. 1453 02:17:56,000 --> 02:18:04,000 I'm going to need time to forget this so I don't have the visualizations from this movie in my head while I'm reading the book. 1454 02:18:04,000 --> 02:18:11,000 That would definitely paint the book for me. Right. So I'm going to need some time. 1455 02:18:11,000 --> 02:18:20,000 How about this? Let's look. We can do this a little bit roast style and we can try to, I don't know, 1456 02:18:20,000 --> 02:18:26,000 bring up other movies that this one has reminded us of or something like that. I don't know. 1457 02:18:26,000 --> 02:18:31,000 Yeah. Well, I mean, there was a whole slew of them because like after the whole Harry Potter thing, 1458 02:18:31,000 --> 02:18:38,000 all the studios were trying to do their young adult super series and we got a bunch of them. 1459 02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:42,000 We got this, we got the Descendants from Disney. 1460 02:18:42,000 --> 02:18:44,000 Nautico. 1461 02:18:44,000 --> 02:18:50,000 Interesting concept. I never saw any of it. I think it was one of those Disney Channel exclusive. 1462 02:18:50,000 --> 02:18:55,000 I know we got like Twilight and like the Divergent series. 1463 02:18:55,000 --> 02:19:00,000 Divergent was another one. I saw the first Divergent one. I thought it was interesting. 1464 02:19:00,000 --> 02:19:03,000 I saw the first one. 1465 02:19:03,000 --> 02:19:08,000 Oh, the Maze was another one. Maze Runner. There you go. Maze Runners. Yeah. 1466 02:19:08,000 --> 02:19:10,000 Percy Jackson. 1467 02:19:10,000 --> 02:19:16,000 Percy Jackson, which I know a lot of folks have. Yeah, you're right. They really went hard in the paint on that one. 1468 02:19:16,000 --> 02:19:19,000 None of them succeeded. 1469 02:19:19,000 --> 02:19:25,000 No, I mean, Percy Jackson, I think it's still going. I hear they just started and they just rebooted it on a TV series again. 1470 02:19:25,000 --> 02:19:28,000 Okay. So, well, okay. So it's not still going. They started over. 1471 02:19:28,000 --> 02:19:31,000 Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But but yeah. 1472 02:19:31,000 --> 02:19:46,000 Yeah, none of them. None of them caught the same caught the same fire that Harry Potter did, which is weird because like I can't because even as someone who's seen most of the Harry Potter movies, not all of them. 1473 02:19:46,000 --> 02:19:49,000 I've seen them all a couple of times. 1474 02:19:49,000 --> 02:19:50,000 Yeah. 1475 02:19:50,000 --> 02:19:52,000 Never read the books. 1476 02:19:52,000 --> 02:20:04,000 I could not I could not tell you what it is that makes it work. That's the thing. I mean, it's I've tried and it's a little weird, especially like the more interviews that I see with JK Rowling. 1477 02:20:04,000 --> 02:20:08,000 I don't get how she was able to come up with any of this. She's kind of stupid. 1478 02:20:08,000 --> 02:20:14,000 She wrote. She wrote Harry Potter for her children or like for her children. 1479 02:20:14,000 --> 02:20:23,000 And from what I understand, she I mean, she just kind of stole everything from everywhere and just put it all in one book. 1480 02:20:23,000 --> 02:20:26,000 Yeah, yeah, a little bit of that. Yep. 1481 02:20:26,000 --> 02:20:29,000 That's that's from what I understand. 1482 02:20:29,000 --> 02:20:38,000 But at the same I mean, and I don't really feel too bad about like knocking JK Rowling because she's kind of

turned into a monster. 1483 02:20:38,000 --> 02:20:42,000 Yeah, she she has not aged well, it would seem. 1484 02:20:42,000 --> 02:20:46,000 No, and she's completely doing it to herself around every corner. 1485 02:20:46,000 --> 02:21:00,000 Nobody is asking her these questions. She's just going on social media and just letting everybody know, which it's weird to be the magic person and then also be the person who's upset about people changing gender. 1486 02:21:00,000 --> 02:21:02,000 That's weird. 1487 02:21:02,000 --> 02:21:12,000 If you're just right, just objectively speaking in your story, you write about a girl like like people switching genders, magic, all of this stuff like that. 1488 02:21:12,000 --> 02:21:17,000 That's part of your imagination. All of these things. 1489 02:21:17,000 --> 02:21:20,000 But do you hate that? 1490 02:21:20,000 --> 02:21:24,000 Yeah, well, objectively speaking, that doesn't make sense. 1491 02:21:24,000 --> 02:21:29,000 If I were to put on my armchair psychologist hat, 1492 02:21:29,000 --> 02:21:35,000 I have I have I've worn it on many occasions. 1493 02:21:35,000 --> 02:21:37,000 What do you got? 1494 02:21:37,000 --> 02:21:45,000 He is the absolute trademark classist. 1495 02:21:45,000 --> 02:21:56,000 And I say this based on like when people have asked her what her like influences and fantasy were when she was like writing Harry Potter and stuff like that. 1496 02:21:56,000 --> 02:22:00,000 She never admitted to reading any fantasy in her mind. 1497 02:22:00,000 --> 02:22:05,000 Fantasy was for children was for the lower classes. 1498 02:22:05,000 --> 02:22:06,000 Yeah, I've heard this before. 1499 02:22:06,000 --> 02:22:14,000 Yeah, she's she's you know, she's someone who literally believes that the fans of her own work are beneath her. 1500 02:22:14,000 --> 02:22:29,000 She is a person who believes that there is a class inherent class system. Classes are supposed to be structured and rigid. And if you take a look at where all this starts, she's a classist. 1501 02:22:29,000 --> 02:22:35,000 And yes, it you know, racism, sexism, all of these things. 1502 02:22:35,000 --> 02:22:46,000 These are all just branches of classism. It's about there are people who are inherently up here and people who are inherently down here. And any attempt to shuffle that around is an offense. 1503 02:22:46,000 --> 02:22:59,000 Even if like J.K. Rowling, you are a woman and you are not at the top of that class system, you will still defend it because you are not at the bottom and you will not put up with anyone trying to shuffle that up. 1504 02:22:59,000 --> 02:23:02,000 I do see where you're coming from with that. 1505 02:23:02,000 --> 02:23:09,000 I am 100 percent old school British classist. That is that is who she is. 1506 02:23:09,000 --> 02:23:12,000 And I do. Yeah. 1507 02:23:12,000 --> 02:23:16,000 Which is amazing considering she was someone who used to be unemployed. 1508 02:23:16,000 --> 02:23:27,000 She wrote Harry Potter while on welfare, unemployed, raising her kids as a single mother. And yet he is the most classic of classists. 1509 02:23:27,000 --> 02:23:31,000 That to me is amazing. 1510 02:23:31,000 --> 02:23:40,000 That does suck. I mean, but there are like there are a lot of writers out there that just really are awful people. 1511 02:23:40,000 --> 02:23:50,000 And they well, I mean, it's come out. We just got done talking about Stardust. Apparently Neil Gaiman's been exposed. And that's unfortunate. 1512 02:23:50,000 --> 02:24:01,000 I saw that I saw that coming when I when I saw him in interviews, when I saw that I was like, he kind of had the vibe of a creep. And I was like, oh, man. 1513 02:24:01,000 --> 02:24:10,000 It's because you're considering how heartfelt and all of his work is, you know, it really is upsetting to. 1514 02:24:10,000 --> 02:24:17,000 Yeah. To find out that someone who's able to create like it's one thing to find out that Ernest Hemingway is an asshole. 1515 02:24:17,000 --> 02:24:24,000 It's like, oh, Ernest Hemingway. So, yeah, it's it's it's one thing to find out Ernest Hemingway is an asshole. 1516 02:24:24,000 --> 02:24:28,000 And you're just like, oh, yeah, that makes sense. You can see it in his work. He's a dick, you know. 1517 02:24:28,000 --> 02:24:40,000 But when someone that is that like so philosophical, so imaginative, so heartfelt, so sensitive to humanity in their work, 1518 02:24:40,000 --> 02:24:47,000 to find out that they are a shallow prick in real life to the to a nearly abusive level. 1519 02:24:47,000 --> 02:24:50,000 What what are the things that you're referencing? 1520 02:24:50,000 --> 02:24:58,000 But because I don't know any of this, I just like I said, just in interviews, he just kind of, yeah, seem like a guy that I don't know exactly what's going on. 1521 02:24:58,000 --> 02:25:05,000 It's one of the it's one of those things that as the news of it starts to pop up, I'm like, I cannot take another one of these. 1522 02:25:05,000 --> 02:25:11,000 I'm going to look away, like I like especially if it was somebody like Neil Gaiman that you kind of look up to. 1523 02:25:11,000 --> 02:25:17,000 I can understand that. But apparently the I was going to say, is he was he at ditty parties or Epstein Island? 1524 02:25:17,000 --> 02:25:19,000 Like what's going on? Nothing like that. 1525 02:25:19,000 --> 02:25:30,000 More like taking advantage of of folks at cons and stuff like that to the point where hush money needed to be paid. 1526 02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:35,000 I don't know what the details are, like I said, when they first start to pop up, I looked away. 1527 02:25:35,000 --> 02:25:42,000 But what I did catch was that there were hush money payments made and that it was that bad. 1528 02:25:42,000 --> 02:25:48,000 Well. Hmm. That's one of those things. 1529 02:25:48,000 --> 02:25:53,000 Hush money doesn't necessarily mean something really bad. 1530 02:25:53,000 --> 02:25:58,000 It can just

not a great. No, it's not a great sign. No. Oh, my God. It's not a great sign. 1531 02:25:58,000 --> 02:26:04,000 But it can be as simple as something humiliating. 1532 02:26:04,000 --> 02:26:21,000 Like. Say like, say a billionaire has a kink that like, I don't know, like likes to have troll dolls watch or something like that, you know, and then paying hush money to people just and having them sign NDAs. 1533 02:26:21,000 --> 02:26:22,000 Oh, my God. Don't. 1534 02:26:22,000 --> 02:26:25,000 That's you embarrassing kink. You have got a sheltered life. 1535 02:26:25,000 --> 02:26:30,000 I'm being very gentle because I'm going to edit and post this. 1536 02:26:30,000 --> 02:26:34,000 So I'm still I'm still I'm you know. 1537 02:26:34,000 --> 02:26:38,000 Do you have OK, so. 1538 02:26:38,000 --> 02:26:40,000 Why don't we do this? 1539 02:26:40,000 --> 02:26:44,000 Yeah, what's the movie fight? 1540 02:26:44,000 --> 02:26:52,000 The movie between these two movies. Really, really, dude. 1541 02:26:52,000 --> 02:26:57,000 Oh, it's not it's not even nice. It's not even fair. 1542 02:26:57,000 --> 02:27:01,000 The Golden Compass forfeited before they even got into the ring. 1543 02:27:01,000 --> 02:27:06,000 True. It was very, very bad. 1544 02:27:06,000 --> 02:27:12,000 Covering covering like it for me, covering movies should not hurt. 1545 02:27:12,000 --> 02:27:16,000 No, no, that's true. I love movies. 1546 02:27:16,000 --> 02:27:22,000 That's that. Yeah. Well, and that's that's why I keep saying we're not going to do we're not going to do the how did this get made? 1547 02:27:22,000 --> 02:27:28,000 Shit like people keep trying to get us to, you know, audience recommendations are always these objectively bad movies. 1548 02:27:28,000 --> 02:27:31,000 They want us to tear apart. I'm not going to do that. 1549 02:27:31,000 --> 02:27:39,000 Like that's when I when I have to like I get there are people out there who enjoy watching the train wreck of bad movies and laughing at this. 1550 02:27:39,000 --> 02:27:42,000 I get it. And there is value in that. If that's your thing. Great. 1551 02:27:42,000 --> 02:27:46,000 For me, I feel like my time has been stolen. Yeah. 1552 02:27:46,000 --> 02:27:53,000 You can't even roast Golden Compass because the good actors are still giving good performances. 1553 02:27:53,000 --> 02:27:58,000 You don't really have bad things to say about them. The cinematography is not horrible. 1554 02:27:58,000 --> 02:28:04,000 The movie was cut to absolute shreds to where you don't like the story doesn't make sense. 1555 02:28:04,000 --> 02:28:12,000 This is a movie to put a toddler in front of and just have them be distracted by the pretty images. 1556 02:28:12,000 --> 02:28:16,000 Yeah, no, for sure. And that's about all it's good for. Yeah. 1557 02:28:16,000 --> 02:28:32,000 And that is that is saying that is a movie with Daniel Craig, Nicole Kidman, Kathy Bates, Sam Elliott, Ian McShane and Ian McKellen and some to say that

about a movie with that kind of cast. 1558 02:28:32,000 --> 02:28:38,000 And it's not an anime. It's not Rio. It's not. It's the first time. 1559 02:28:38,000 --> 02:28:45,000 It's the first time ever, ever seen Nicole Kidman in a movie where she is fully dolled up. 1560 02:28:45,000 --> 02:28:54,000 We're talking dress, hair, makeup. She could not look any more like a star than she than she has in this movie. 1561 02:28:54,000 --> 02:29:00,000 But even he was whatever. Like I like I like. 1562 02:29:00,000 --> 02:29:04,000 I was bored with her and I am not bored with Nicole Kidman. 1563 02:29:04,000 --> 02:29:08,000 No, something is wrong. Yeah. Yeah. 1564 02:29:08,000 --> 02:29:13,000 This was this was rough. Round one. Who do we care about more? 1565 02:29:13,000 --> 02:29:27,000 Pretty clearly, it's Tristan and Yvain and oh my God, Robert De Niro is in this movie for just a few minutes and you unbelievably care about anything and everything that may ever happen to him. 1566 02:29:27,000 --> 02:29:33,000 Exactly. Yes. You fall in love with Peter O'Toole in half a second. 1567 02:29:33,000 --> 02:29:36,000 Right. Even though he's an evil bastard, you still fall in love with him. 1568 02:29:36,000 --> 02:29:41,000 The evil brothers that are killing themselves. You can't help but root for them to kill each other. 1569 02:29:41,000 --> 02:29:47,000 I mean, no, you actually care. It's crazy that you care about everybody. 1570 02:29:47,000 --> 02:29:53,000 Except who the movie wants you to not care about. You care about Bernard. 1571 02:29:53,000 --> 02:29:57,000 You care about Bernard. Billy the Goat Man, I felt for. 1572 02:29:57,000 --> 02:30:03,000 No, like Stardust. My God. Round one. Who do we care about more? 1573 02:30:03,000 --> 02:30:09,000 Stardust. Round two. Which one succeeded? Technically. 1574 02:30:09,000 --> 02:30:21,000 I mean, neither one of them did anything technically wrong, except maybe the editing, you know, depending on Golden Compass. 1575 02:30:21,000 --> 02:30:36,000 I think if there are explanations, if there are explanations in the book about how that boy wound up in a random snow town to be found by the Golden Compass, why? 1576 02:30:36,000 --> 02:30:45,000 Not even a random snow town, a random snow shack in the middle of the fucking tundra with nothing around for miles. 1577 02:30:45,000 --> 02:30:48,000 Let's start with what that shack is even doing there in the first place. 1578 02:30:48,000 --> 02:30:59,000 Right. I mean, good God. No, like when the opening scene with like the bear fight and all the stuff. 1579 02:30:59,000 --> 02:31:09,000 Yeah, sure. There was some. And then you should care about like the. Everything you should care about in Golden Compass, you just don't. 1580 02:31:09,000 --> 02:31:15,000 Right. Exactly. So my God, just round two goes to Stardust. 1581 02:31:15,000 --> 02:31:24,000 As far as recommendation. My recommendation for the Golden Compass is to not watch it. 1582 02:31:24,000 --> 02:31:36,000 Exactly. You have a must see versus must never see. Exactly. Yeah, it is. Wow. 1583 02:31:36,000 --> 02:31:46,000 So yeah, three for three Stardust. Just no contest. 1584 02:31:46,000 --> 02:31:59,000 Yeah. It was like so it's so badly beaten, I almost feel sorry for it, except if not for the fact that it somehow won an Oscar against the Davy Jones special. 1585 02:31:59,000 --> 02:32:06,000 That doesn't make sense. That dude, it should not have won an Oscar against that. No, it should not have won an Oscar against Bumblebee. 1586 02:32:06,000 --> 02:32:12,000 I'm sorry. Like, no, you have like I know you're only talking about the Pirates movie and you should be. 1587 02:32:12,000 --> 02:32:19,000 I'm not discounting that. But the first Transformers movie, I feel like that was absolutely incredible. 1588 02:32:19,000 --> 02:32:26,000 I went to the theaters and saw that and I was blown away by how great Michael Bay did with the special effects on that one. 1589 02:32:26,000 --> 02:32:35,000 I mean, it was nothing but a big old bang bang movie, but the Transformers looked incredible. That's undeniable. 1590 02:32:35,000 --> 02:32:42,000 So as far as that goes, no, this movie didn't even beat Transformers. 1591 02:32:42,000 --> 02:32:51,000 It's kind of weird. Yes. But definitely. Oh my God, Davy Jones and his crew. 1592 02:32:51,000 --> 02:32:59,000 Right. The Kraken. The Kraken alone should have won special effects that year. 1593 02:32:59,000 --> 02:33:08,000 Yeah. No, no, no, pure snub. But no, Stardust, on the other hand, absolutely outstanding. 1594 02:33:08,000 --> 02:33:13,000 Well, and it was like it was like you said earlier, there wasn't a lot of CG in there. 1595 02:33:13,000 --> 02:33:17,000 They and some of the magic stuff, but they had real animals instead of animated ones. 1596 02:33:17,000 --> 02:33:25,000 They only used CG where they needed to. And it wasn't half-assed or cartoony when they did it. 1597 02:33:25,000 --> 02:33:34,000 So it was, you know. No. Oh my God. Once again, once again, once again, once again, once again, the drowning of Septimus in the Voodoo doll. 1598 02:33:34,000 --> 02:33:40,000 And then his sword fight afterwards. Like, yeah, like there was like, I mean, come on. 1599 02:33:40,000 --> 02:33:44,000 Oh, no, I'm just talking like the visual effects. The sword fight was incredible. 1600 02:33:44,000 --> 02:33:49,000 The choreography, absolutely. That is quite possibly my favorite sword fight to ever watch. 1601 02:33:49,000 --> 02:33:59,000 It's amazing. But it's like, how did they do that? Like you said, like they must have had, they must have had the guy on wires while he was fighting to be able to stand like that. 1602 02:33:59,000 --> 02:34:11,000 But still, to be able to like to successfully pull those movements off while, yes, even like being on wires, but doubled over backwards, staring behind you, still pulling those moves off. 1603 02:34:11,000 --> 02:34:18,000 I mean, the fact that he

was doing that without looking, not just bent over backwards, not looking. 1604 02:34:18,000 --> 02:34:25,000 That is literally a man who could whoop your ass bent over backwards with his eyes closed. 1605 02:34:25,000 --> 02:34:33,000 Fantastic. All right. So just 100% through and through. Stardust is taking it. 1606 02:34:33,000 --> 02:34:39,000 Real quick. All right. So next week, what do you got for me? 1607 02:34:39,000 --> 02:34:46,000 Well, it's Christmas time. So I have what I think could be the new like Seminole Christmas movie. 1608 02:34:46,000 --> 02:34:49,000 It's a newer one. It only came out in like 2019. 1609 02:34:49,000 --> 02:34:54,000 So but I haven't heard enough buzz about this movie. I don't hear enough people talking about this movie. 1610 02:34:54,000 --> 02:34:58,000 I think this should be a more like well-known traditional. 1611 02:34:58,000 --> 02:35:03,000 I think this should be the movie that you should show your kids every Christmas for years to come. 1612 02:35:03,000 --> 02:35:10,000 I've already watched it every Christmas since 2019 when it came out. It's called 8-Bit Christmas. 1613 02:35:10,000 --> 02:35:17,000 And it is like for if you're my generation, you know, the Christmas story, the old the old Christmas story. 1614 02:35:17,000 --> 02:35:20,000 Yeah, everybody knows the Christmas story still plays every year. 1615 02:35:20,000 --> 02:35:23,000 Who just right. Who just wants his red writer be begun. 1616 02:35:23,000 --> 02:35:32,000 This is a movie about a guy telling his daughter the story about how the about the one Christmas in the 90s when all he wanted was a Super Nintendo. 1617 02:35:32,000 --> 02:35:37,000 It is a phenomenal, phenomenal movie. 1618 02:35:37,000 --> 02:35:42,000 And I and I look forward looking forward to your reaction to it. 1619 02:35:42,000 --> 02:35:47,000 Fair enough. It's kind of funny that you say people from your generation 1620 02:35:47,000 --> 02:35:53,000 because every bro from my generation has the leg lamp from a Christmas story. 1621 02:35:56,000 --> 02:35:59,000 So that movie did not stop with your generation. 1622 02:35:59,000 --> 02:36:05,000 My generation, my generation did learn the lesson of the leg lamp when we watched that movie. 1623 02:36:05,000 --> 02:36:08,000 We all thought it, but we all thought it. 1624 02:36:08,000 --> 02:36:10,000 But none of us took the step forward. 1625 02:36:10,000 --> 02:36:14,000 We knew better. However, the fragile Italian. 1626 02:36:14,000 --> 02:36:20,000 Yes. No, no, no. That that that joke has been said a million times over for you. 1627 02:36:20,000 --> 02:36:23,000 OK, so you have a new Christmas movie. 1628 02:36:23,000 --> 02:36:29,000 I guess my response is going to be the best Christmas movie of all time. 1629 02:36:29,000 --> 02:36:32,000 A Muppet Christmas Carol. 1630 02:36:32,000 --> 02:36:37,000 You're not even going to try to go for something undersold that needs more attention. 1631 02:36:37,000 --> 02:36:41,000 You're going to write for the mainstream, the most mainstream ever. 1632 02:36:41,000 --> 02:36:45,000 I see. Here's the thing. 1633 02:36:45,000 --> 02:36:49,000 Throughout my life, every single year I have watched a Christmas Carol. 1634 02:36:49,000 --> 02:36:56,000 It does not matter when I was in Iraq, when I was in Kosovo, when I was traveling as an actor, as a photographer. 1635 02:36:56,000 --> 02:36:58,000 Did not matter when Christmas came around. 1636 02:36:58,000 --> 02:37:00,000 I watched a Muppet Christmas Carol. 1637 02:37:00,000 --> 02:37:08,000 The amount of people that have come by me like when I'm traveling, when I've been around people, what the hell is that? 1638 02:37:08,000 --> 02:37:10,000 They've never seen it. 1639 02:37:10,000 --> 02:37:15,000 A Muppet Christmas Carol is not as popular as you may think it is. 1640 02:37:15,000 --> 02:37:18,000 Should be. It does not make sense. 1641 02:37:18,000 --> 02:37:19,000 My mind is blown. 1642 02:37:19,000 --> 02:37:21,000 It does not make sense. Why it isn't? 1643 02:37:21,000 --> 02:37:28,000 But I have had far too many people have no idea that the Muppets ever did a Christmas Carol. 1644 02:37:28,000 --> 02:37:30,000 And it is the best. 1645 02:37:30,000 --> 02:37:32,000 Well, then I guess this counts as doing a service. 1646 02:37:32,000 --> 02:37:35,000 Best.
