00:03:01.510 - civil rights activist years before, and they're like, 87 00:03:01.510 --> 00:03:03.189 - he knows what he's doing. Mhmm. He basically 88 00:03:03.189 --> 00:03:04.870 - gets a baseball bat and takes care of 89 00:03:04.870 --> 00:03:05.370 - business. 90 00:03:06.344 --> 00:03:08.925 - The movie itself is decently made. 91 00:03:10.185 --> 00:03:11.865 - The the subject matter, of course, makes it 92 00:03:11.865 --> 00:03:12.525 - kind of 93 00:03:13.064 --> 00:03:13.564 - inherently 94 00:03:14.025 --> 00:03:14.525 - engaging, 95 00:03:15.385 --> 00:03:17.784 - and it's got, of course, its its morals 96 00:03:17.784 --> 00:03:18.844 - are in the right place, 97 00:03:19.310 --> 00:03:23.069 - And Mark Wahlberg is so unbearably bad in 98 00:03:23.069 --> 00:03:23.569 - this 99 00:03:23.950 --> 00:03:24.689 - that he 100 00:03:24.990 --> 00:03:26.210 - makes the whole thing 101 00:03:27.389 --> 00:03:27.889 - horrifically 102 00:03:29.389 --> 00:03:31.790 - bad, really bad. I watched Boogie Nights again 103 00:03:31.790 --> 00:03:33.230 - last night as I'm prone to do a 104 00:03:33.230 --> 00:03:34.689 - couple times a year. Sure. 105 00:03:34.995 --> 00:03:36.615 - My God, he's good in that. 106 00:03:36.995 --> 00:03:38.455 - And he is so good 107 00:03:38.754 --> 00:03:39.735 - in The Departed 108 00:03:40.115 --> 00:03:42.115 - for Scorsese, and he's great in The Fighter 109 00:03:42.115 --> 00:03:44.115 - for David O. Russell. Give that man a 110 00:03:44.115 --> 00:03:45.014 - decent director 111 00:03:45.555 --> 00:03:47.474 - who will keep him in line, and you 112 00:03:47.474 --> 00:03:50.090 - got something. But, I think Wahlberg intentionally gets 113 00:03:50.090 --> 00:03:51.469 - people with very few credits 114 00:03:51.849 --> 00:03:53.610 - and no name, so he can just do 115 00:03:53.610 --> 00:03:55.530 - whatever the hell he wants. And so, this 116 00:03:55.530 --> 00:03:57.689 - one, he does, he has like four, he 117 00:03:57.689 --> 00:03:59.949 - has like 14 extra pounds of nose 118 00:04:00.250 --> 00:04:02.250 - on his face. He has this heavy Brooklyn 119 00:04:02.250 --> 00:04:04.504 - accent. He chews on a toothpick the whole 120 00:04:04.504 --> 00:04:05.004 - time. 121 00:04:05.384 --> 00:04:07.245 - It's a big big old cartoon 122 00:04:07.544 --> 00:04:09.564 - in the middle of this very realistic, 123 00:04:10.504 --> 00:04:11.724 - realistically rendered 124 00:04:12.264 --> 00:04:14.905 - dramatic thriller. But in his head in his 125 00:04:14.905 --> 00:04:15.405 - head, 126 00:04:15.750 --> 00:04:17.990 - he's got it that he's killing it. Yeah. 127 00:04:17.990 --> 00:04:19.350 - I think he's got it like, this is 128 00:04:19.350 --> 00:04:21.669 - my Oscar role. Yeah. And those are usually 129 00:04:21.669 --> 00:04:23.910 - the worst performances ever. The ones where they're 130 00:04:23.910 --> 00:04:25.669 - pretty sure. Yeah. This is this is my 131 00:04:25.669 --> 00:04:27.910 - ticket to the

Oscars. I'm really acting. I'm 132 00:04:27.910 --> 00:04:29.750 - really going for it in this one. And 133 00:04:29.750 --> 00:04:31.634 - he's just, so he ruins 134 00:04:32.095 --> 00:04:34.194 - otherwise completely competent scenes 135 00:04:34.735 --> 00:04:36.975 - for two hours. So, like, in another universe 136 00:04:36.975 --> 00:04:39.214 - where it's just another actor doing just regular 137 00:04:39.214 --> 00:04:41.454 - acting, like, it's like a John Barenthall playing 138 00:04:41.454 --> 00:04:43.055 - this role or something. Oh, sure. Yeah. Yeah. 139 00:04:43.055 --> 00:04:44.574 - You wouldn't like the movie much better. He 140 00:04:44.574 --> 00:04:46.936 - ruins the movie. He ruins the movie. I 141 00:04:46.936 --> 00:04:49.504 - spent, I spent more than half of the 142 00:04:49.504 --> 00:04:51.786 - review before he even got to the plot 143 00:04:51.786 --> 00:04:54.068 - talking about Mark Wahlberg because I'm like, this 144 00:04:54.068 --> 00:04:56.350 - is how this is how much he affects 145 00:04:56.350 --> 00:04:58.632 - that movie. This is how badly he throws 146 00:04:58.632 --> 00:05:00.915 - everything off kilter. He's just terrible. So, yeah, 147 00:05:00.915 --> 00:05:01.895 - I was angry. 148 00:05:02.675 --> 00:05:04.535 - Then you saw a movie called Onslaught. 149 00:05:04.995 --> 00:05:06.995 - Yeah. What's this one? Yeah. This one I 150 00:05:06.995 --> 00:05:09.714 - wish I liked. This one is about a 151 00:05:09.714 --> 00:05:11.175 - third generation Nazi 152 00:05:11.634 --> 00:05:13.895 - who has created a race of super soldiers, 153 00:05:15.259 --> 00:05:15.759 - that 154 00:05:16.139 --> 00:05:19.180 - are just unstoppable killing machines, of course. And 155 00:05:19.180 --> 00:05:21.360 - instead of, like, testing them out overseas, 156 00:05:21.899 --> 00:05:24.160 - they choose a trailer park in the Southwest 157 00:05:24.379 --> 00:05:26.295 - and say, let's just set them out there 158 00:05:26.775 --> 00:05:28.795 - and see what they can what they do, 159 00:05:28.935 --> 00:05:31.014 - you know? And so, it's about this Wow, 160 00:05:31.014 --> 00:05:32.795 - what a premise. I mean, they don't really 161 00:05:32.855 --> 00:05:35.814 - they don't really let them loose intentionally. They 162 00:05:35.814 --> 00:05:37.415 - they get out, but they don't stop them. 163 00:05:37.415 --> 00:05:39.095 - They don't work hard to stop them. Is 164 00:05:39.095 --> 00:05:41.100 - this based on a comic book or something? 165 00:05:41.100 --> 00:05:42.779 - It sounds like it should be. No. But 166 00:05:42.779 --> 00:05:45.579 - it's, and so it's basically these trailer park, 167 00:05:45.979 --> 00:05:46.479 - residents, 168 00:05:46.779 --> 00:05:49.659 - especially Adria Arjona is our heroine. She's a 169 00:05:49.659 --> 00:05:52.060 - a military war vet, and she has a 170 00:05:52.060 --> 00:05:53.894 - a young daughter to protect. It's all very 171 00:05:53.894 --> 00:05:56.535 - the Terminator meets aliens Mhmm. But without any 172 00:05:56.535 --> 00:05:58.454 - of that kind of skill to it. And 173 00:05:58.454 --> 00:06:01.834 - it's weird Trailer park Denzian versus super Nazis. 174 00:06:01.894 --> 00:06:03.628 - Yeah. That's pretty much it. Wow. And if 175 00:06:03.628 --> 00:06:05.574 - it it if it stuck to its guns 176 00:06:05.574 --> 00:06:07.175 - that way, that would have been pretty fun, 177 00:06:07.175 --> 00:06:09.930 - I think. But it's, it also goes for 178 00:06:09.930 --> 00:06:11.310 - too much earnestness, 179 00:06:11.850 --> 00:06:14.250 - and it it it the opening credits, they 180 00:06:14.250 --> 00:06:15.769 - kinda show you they take us through, like, 181 00:06:15.769 --> 00:06:17.069 - a hundred years of American 182 00:06:17.769 --> 00:06:20.009 - combat and and war, and there are some 183 00:06:20.009 --> 00:06:22.425 - really boldly stated themes of, like, how 184 00:06:22.745 --> 00:06:25.625 - terribly the government treats veterans, and it's like 185 00:06:25.704 --> 00:06:27.384 - and so nothing really holds together. It's like, 186 00:06:27.384 --> 00:06:29.384 - well, are we supposed to take this seriously? 187 00:06:29.384 --> 00:06:31.784 - Because these are big robot soldiers with glowing 188 00:06:31.784 --> 00:06:34.264 - eyes that are killing people in trailer parks. 189 00:06:34.264 --> 00:06:35.084 - You know, it's, 190 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:37.279 - to the tone is all wrong. And the 191 00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:38.959 - the theme, it seems to be this week 192 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.519 - is, there were this this is another movie 193 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.240 - where, there's an actor whose prosthetics took you 194 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.259 - out of the thing. Right? Oh, yeah. Dan 195 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.579 - Stevens. What on earth is going on? He's 196 00:06:48.884 --> 00:06:51.365 - dressed up. He's a third generation Nazi. Uh-huh. 197 00:06:51.365 --> 00:06:53.524 - So that should make him only middle aged. 198 00:06:53.524 --> 00:06:55.944 - Right. But they basically have him looking like 199 00:06:56.004 --> 00:06:58.805 - Doctor. Evil's grandpa. He's got a bald babe 200 00:06:58.805 --> 00:07:01.444 - and long gray hair, and he's got one 201 00:07:01.444 --> 00:07:04.345 - dead eye, and he's doing this very heavy 202 00:07:06.139 --> 00:07:08.220 - German accent, like out of a Mel Brooks 203 00:07:08.220 --> 00:07:10.060 - movie. And you're like, what on earth? What 204 00:07:10.060 --> 00:07:11.120 - is going on here? 205 00:07:11.579 --> 00:07:13.740 - And it's Dan Stevens, I mean, who's like 206 00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:14.800 - one of the more handsome 207 00:07:15.100 --> 00:07:16.000 - actors around. 208 00:07:16.834 --> 00:07:18.834 - And so again it feels like somebody going, 209 00:07:18.834 --> 00:07:21.014 - yeah here here comes here comes my Oscar. 210 00:07:21.154 --> 00:07:22.955 - I'm gonna wear all this makeup and have 211 00:07:22.955 --> 00:07:25.235 -

a funny voice and kill it. You know? 212 00:07:25.235 --> 00:07:28.035 - Wow. Yeah. Really strange. It's like why not 213 00:07:28.035 --> 00:07:31.660 - just hire appropriately, you know? And then, Fall 214 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:33.019 - two Deadpoint. 215 00:07:33.479 --> 00:07:35.319 - Yeah. This is the sequel to Fall, which 216 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:37.720 - came out in 2022 about two young, 217 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:39.100 - extreme climbers 218 00:07:39.479 --> 00:07:41.079 - who climbed to the top of a 2,000 219 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.180 - foot TV tower and get stuck there. 220 00:07:43.495 --> 00:07:45.495 - And this one ups the ante. That one 221 00:07:45.495 --> 00:07:47.414 - caused trouble for you. That one caused trouble 222 00:07:47.414 --> 00:07:49.274 - for me because I've got some serious vertigo 223 00:07:49.334 --> 00:07:50.154 - going in, 224 00:07:50.535 --> 00:07:52.954 - and that one was really destabilizing. 225 00:07:53.254 --> 00:07:55.115 - Yeah. This one is set 226 00:07:55.509 --> 00:07:57.830 - a little higher. It's 3,000 feet in the 227 00:07:57.830 --> 00:08:00.310 - air, but it's on it's on a mountain 228 00:08:00.310 --> 00:08:01.129 - in Thailand. 229 00:08:02.149 --> 00:08:02.649 - And, 230 00:08:03.110 --> 00:08:05.910 - well, the the height difference is is something. 231 00:08:05.910 --> 00:08:07.589 - And, it's, they get caught on like this 232 00:08:07.589 --> 00:08:09.910 - one of those wooden planks Yeah. That that 233 00:08:09.910 --> 00:08:11.754 - walks you around the mountain where 234 00:08:12.055 --> 00:08:12.634 - a rockfall 235 00:08:13.414 --> 00:08:15.254 - kills, like, one half of the plank, and 236 00:08:15.254 --> 00:08:17.095 - then another rockfall kills the other half. And 237 00:08:17.095 --> 00:08:19.095 - so they're trapped in, like, 20 feet of 238 00:08:19.095 --> 00:08:21.414 - of wood, 3,000 feet in the air. They 239 00:08:21.414 --> 00:08:23.175 - have to get out. But the problem is 240 00:08:23.175 --> 00:08:24.555 - with this one is that 241 00:08:25.750 --> 00:08:28.470 - as oak as decent as the green screen 242 00:08:28.470 --> 00:08:29.449 - effects are, 243 00:08:30.149 --> 00:08:32.870 - we've seen this before. I haven't seen the 244 00:08:32.870 --> 00:08:34.330 - the climbing of the tower 245 00:08:34.789 --> 00:08:36.549 - and where on earth where do you have 246 00:08:36.549 --> 00:08:38.654 - the camera in the I mean, right there. 247 00:08:39.055 --> 00:08:41.715 - But, we've seen Tom Cruise climbing mountains for 248 00:08:41.774 --> 00:08:43.855 - twenty five years, you know. We've seen we've 249 00:08:43.855 --> 00:08:45.615 - seen a lot of jungle adventures where they 250 00:08:45.615 --> 00:08:47.774 - have to cross the wooden plank. Uh-huh. So, 251 00:08:47.774 --> 00:08:49.535 - there's nothing really new here, and so when 252 00:08:49.535 --> 00:08:51.215 - it was like, don't look down, and I'm 253 00:08:51.215 --> 00:08:52.654 - looking down, I'm like,

yeah, but I've been 254 00:08:52.654 --> 00:08:54.274 - scared of that before. Yeah. 255 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:56.919 - It's not a bad movie. It's it's decently 256 00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:58.620 - made. The acting isn't great. 257 00:08:59.319 --> 00:09:00.940 - But it's moderately it's moderately 258 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:03.100 - suspenseful for what it is. 259 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.720 - It's just it didn't, it didn't do much 260 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:07.565 - for me. It was like, we've been 261 00:09:07.945 --> 00:09:09.785 - here. And not just because it's a sequel, 262 00:09:09.785 --> 00:09:12.125 - but it's like, no, I've I've seen this 263 00:09:12.504 --> 00:09:14.184 - Stand By Me. Stand By Me is the 264 00:09:14.184 --> 00:09:15.705 - scene where the kids cross the bridge, you 265 00:09:15.705 --> 00:09:17.384 - know, and the trains come. It's like, even 266 00:09:17.384 --> 00:09:18.985 - that had a little bit more peril than 267 00:09:18.985 --> 00:09:20.924 - you'll ever find in this one. So 268 00:09:21.304 --> 00:09:22.610 - And it's been a while since you've seen 269 00:09:22.610 --> 00:09:24.370 - an Anne Hathaway movie. It has been, like, 270 00:09:24.370 --> 00:09:26.769 - three weeks. Three whole weeks. Yeah. Yeah. I 271 00:09:26.769 --> 00:09:29.009 - was I was missing her. Uh-huh. So I 272 00:09:29.009 --> 00:09:30.929 - saw Mother Mary.

Mhmm. This is based 466 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:25.720 - on a true story. Mhmm. This uprising actually 467 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:26.940 - did happen. Yes. 468 00:16:27.735 --> 00:16:30.774 - At some point, the studio, like, a week 469 00:16:30.774 --> 00:16:33.914 - or so ago decided to rename the movie. 470 00:16:34.134 --> 00:16:34.634 - Mhmm. 471 00:16:35.335 --> 00:16:37.115 - And now it's called the uprising, 472 00:16:37.654 --> 00:16:40.860 - the origins of Robin Hood. Except it's not 473 00:16:41.179 --> 00:16:43.579 - again because that changed again. They changed it 474 00:16:43.579 --> 00:16:45.659 - again? They changed it again. Because this has 475 00:16:45.659 --> 00:16:48.059 - not the story has nothing to do with 476 00:16:48.059 --> 00:16:49.899 - Robinhood. Here's what I just learned this morning 477 00:16:49.899 --> 00:16:51.259 - because I I did do a a bit 478 00:16:51.259 --> 00:16:52.860 - of a dive into this one is that 479 00:16:52.940 --> 00:16:56.004 - it wasn't the studio. It's the American marketing 480 00:16:56.004 --> 00:16:58.325 - team. There's a English marketing team and the 481 00:16:58.325 --> 00:17:01.045 - and the American one. And what about a 482 00:17:01.045 --> 00:17:03.524 - month ago, like you said, yeah, the the 483 00:17:03.524 --> 00:17:05.684 - English version, the American version was gonna come 484 00:17:05.684 --> 00:17:08.565 - out with the Robinhood subtitle. Okay. And everybody 485 00:17:08.565 --> 00:17:11.460 - in England said, hey we're not doing that 486 00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:13.640 - because it has nothing to do with Robinhood. 487 00:17:13.859 --> 00:17:15.859 - Right. Just so you know. Right. Robinhood was 488 00:17:15.859 --> 00:17:18.180 - like already established Hundreds of years. When the 489 00:17:18.180 --> 00:17:20.359 - peasants were Right. Happened. Right. 490 00:17:20.660 --> 00:17:23.144 - And I and I guess the Americans counter 491 00:17:23.144 --> 00:17:24.825 - with, you know, yeah, but it's gonna help 492 00:17:24.825 --> 00:17:26.985 - with the business. And then of course, but 493 00:17:26.985 --> 00:17:27.485 - forgetting 494 00:17:27.945 --> 00:17:29.865 - that that Hugh Jackman Robin Hood movie that 495 00:17:29.865 --> 00:17:31.884 - came out made like a dollar 50. 496 00:17:32.424 --> 00:17:34.985 - Nobody cared. We're over Robin Hood. And so, 497 00:17:34.985 --> 00:17:36.765 - yeah. And so, I think, 498 00:17:37.144 --> 00:17:37.805 - you know, 499 00:17:38.130 --> 00:17:41.170 - Saner Saner has finally prevailed, and they've dropped 500 00:17:41.170 --> 00:17:44.049 - the Robin Hood ness completely. Okay. Now Well, 501 00:17:44.049 --> 00:17:47.250 - I would I'm stupid little I'm very, very 502 00:17:47.250 --> 00:17:48.769 - happy to hear that because I thought that 503 00:17:48.769 --> 00:17:50.210 - was one of the dumber things I'd read 504 00:17:50.210 --> 00:17:51.650 - in the last couple of weeks. It seemed 505 00:17:51.650 --> 00:17:53.664 - absolutely stupid. We'll get people to go to 506 00:17:53.664 --> 00:17:55.424 - the movie if we make them believe it's 507 00:17:55.424 --> 00:17:57.845 - a Robin Hood movie Yeah. Which it isn't 508 00:17:57.985 --> 00:17:59.525 - because because it couldn't be. 509 00:17:59.985 --> 00:18:02.785 - What in the world? Yeah. Apparently, yeah. He, 510 00:18:02.785 --> 00:18:04.945 - at some point, Andrew Garfield, like, wears a 511 00:18:04.945 --> 00:18:07.730 - green outfit and and does something Robin Hood 512 00:18:07.730 --> 00:18:08.929 - ish, I guess. I love it. Okay. But 513 00:18:08.929 --> 00:18:10.450 - that's the extent of it from what I 514 00:18:10.450 --> 00:18:10.950 - understand. 515 00:18:11.250 --> 00:18:13.089 - So Any other movies? There's one other that 516 00:18:13.089 --> 00:18:15.809 - I'm gonna catch. It's a Korean monster movie 517 00:18:15.809 --> 00:18:16.549 - called Hope 518 00:18:16.929 --> 00:18:17.250 - that, 519 00:18:17.970 --> 00:18:19.730 - got some pretty great reviews out of the 520 00:18:19.730 --> 00:18:22.845 - Cannes Film Festival of all places. So hope 521 00:18:23.304 --> 00:18:25.384 - in the room in a remote South Korean 522 00:18:25.384 --> 00:18:27.244 - village called Hope Harbor, 523 00:18:27.784 --> 00:18:29.005 - the police chief 524 00:18:29.464 --> 00:18:31.304 - and an officer are called to find a 525 00:18:31.304 --> 00:18:33.704 - mysterious creature that has wreaked havoc on the 526 00:18:33.704 --> 00:18:34.204 - village. 527 00:18:34.549 --> 00:18:37.210 - In the nearby forest, a bunch of hunters 528 00:18:38.069 --> 00:18:39.589 - set out to track the beast and find 529 00:18:39.589 --> 00:18:41.049 - themselves hunted instead, 530 00:18:41.429 --> 00:18:43.509 - but not as all as it seems as 531 00:18:43.509 --> 00:18:44.970 - perceptions can be misleading. 532 00:18:45.589 --> 00:18:46.970 - What begins as ignorance 533 00:18:47.589 --> 00:18:49.210 - plants the seed of disaster, 534 00:18:50.115 --> 00:18:52.994 - escalating through human conflict into a tragedy of 535 00:18:52.994 --> 00:18:53.494 - cosmic 536 00:18:53.795 --> 00:18:54.295 - proportions. 537 00:18:54.674 --> 00:18:57.154 - The trailer is killer.
