Back From Break Buddy!

WEBVTT
1
00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:20.899
Welcome back to Was. We took a couple weeks off,
2
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:25.359
but we're back, folks. This is the podcast exclusively for
3
00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:29.789
people who know that clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
4
00:00:30.710 --> 00:00:32.310
We're your hosts, as always. I'm Nick.
5
00:00:32.950 --> 00:00:40.409
Hugh Explosions in the sky. I am Andrew LZ, and
6
00:00:40.829 --> 00:00:44.170
thank you, Nick. I mean, he reprised the role of
7
00:00:44.270 --> 00:00:48.600
Coach Taylor for the NFL Netflix commercial.
8
00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:53.960
I'd run through a wall for Coach Taylor, is all
9
00:00:53.979 --> 00:00:56.039
I'm saying. I would run through a.
10
00:00:56.100 --> 00:00:59.200
Wall for Coach Taylor. Towards Miss Taylor.
11
00:01:00.979 --> 00:01:02.240
One thousand percent.
12
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.819
Heidi Britton was like, she's been perfect for a while,
13
00:01:06.859 --> 00:01:09.319
but she's never been, like, she was in the Texas
14
00:01:09.420 --> 00:01:14.269
Sun at golden hour all the time. Yeah, yeah. You had, yeah.
15
00:01:15.870 --> 00:01:18.150
Never more perfect than in that show.
16
00:01:18.549 --> 00:01:22.230
That first season is truly perfect. I enjoy the rest
17
00:01:22.269 --> 00:01:23.370
of the series as well.
18
00:01:23.469 --> 00:01:25.170
I loved the first season.
19
00:01:26.379 --> 00:01:27.120
Second season was bad.
20
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:28.959
Second season was mad.
21
00:01:29.019 --> 00:01:30.040
And then they found it again.
22
00:01:30.420 --> 00:01:34.719
But the second half of the third season got right
23
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:36.019
back to where it was supposed to be.
24
00:01:36.379 --> 00:01:42.030
Yeah, it was over-dramatized high school football in Texas. Like,
25
00:01:42.370 --> 00:01:46.170
if it was just, like, normal high school football, it'd
26
00:01:46.310 --> 00:01:48.530
still be pretty interesting, but it wouldn't be as dramatic.
27
00:01:48.569 --> 00:01:51.420
And this was a drama. This was not just a
28
00:01:51.459 --> 00:01:56.099
football show. It was a drama. Yeah.
29
00:01:56.180 --> 00:01:58.040
Just a great cast in general. Like.
30
00:01:58.859 --> 00:02:00.390
Holy crap. So many people.
31
00:02:00.409 --> 00:02:05.090
I mean, Jesse Plemons was on the damn show. We've
32
00:02:05.129 --> 00:02:09.030
obviously already talked about. We've already talked about Kyle Chandler
33
00:02:09.050 --> 00:02:11.150
and Connie Britton, which.
34
00:02:11.590 --> 00:02:12.590
Crucifictorious.
35
00:02:13.250 --> 00:02:14.650
Yeah.
36
00:02:15.069 --> 00:02:22.560
Landry's Christian rock band. Yeah. Why do I remember that
37
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.919
more than anything else in that show? I don't know.
38
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.000
But crucifictorious. Yeah.
39
00:02:29.150 --> 00:02:30.969
But no, Michael B. Jordan was on the show.
40
00:02:31.490 --> 00:02:34.930
Season four and five for what's it called?
41
00:02:34.949 --> 00:02:36.650
East.
42
00:02:36.909 --> 00:02:37.550
I can't remember.
43
00:02:37.569 --> 00:02:38.969
Yeah, I can't remember then.
44
00:02:38.990 --> 00:02:43.270
And just and then, oh, dude, what's his name? Voodoo.
45
00:02:43.689 --> 00:02:45.509
He's a big actor now. Why can't I think of
46
00:02:45.569 --> 00:02:45.969
his name?
47
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:47.080
Yeah.
48
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:52.659
He was such a dick on the show. You really
49
00:02:52.740 --> 00:02:56.860
hated Voodoo. Just means that he killed it. Yeah.
50
00:02:59.849 --> 00:03:05.879
We just know that they really love their football in Dillon,
51
00:03:06.259 --> 00:03:06.919
West Texas.
52
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:15.860
They sure do, man. I don't know why. When was
53
00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:18.650
their last championship? When were they truly great?
54
00:03:21.310 --> 00:03:25.129
All that matters is, though, at the end of it,
55
00:03:25.370 --> 00:03:28.449
Coach Taylor knows he's going to his next adventure.
56
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.699
Well, I think it was, like, West Texas College or something.
57
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:33.800
Texas State College.
58
00:03:33.819 --> 00:03:34.819
No, it was Pennsylvania.
59
00:03:35.500 --> 00:03:37.990
Oh, yeah, he did? Well, no, she took a job there.
60
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.210
She's taking a job in Pennsylvania, and he's following her
61
00:03:40.250 --> 00:03:40.770
for the first time.
62
00:03:40.830 --> 00:03:43.810
And he follows her, yeah. Yeah. Like, I enjoyed that.
63
00:03:43.930 --> 00:03:45.129
I enjoyed just, like, that.
64
00:03:45.889 --> 00:03:48.650
He's bringing West Texas football to Pennsylvania.
65
00:03:49.849 --> 00:03:50.939
I don't think they can handle it.
66
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:51.379
Good luck.
67
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.419
Good luck. I mean, all those buildings are so old. Yeah.
68
00:03:58.090 --> 00:04:00.830
like i dude i was driving through like we we
69
00:04:00.849 --> 00:04:03.330
took a little bit of time off i visited nick
70
00:04:03.949 --> 00:04:07.270
uh stayed in his cold ass basement no offense uh
71
00:04:07.889 --> 00:04:11.409
it's just like it's underground it i shouldn't expect it
72
00:04:11.430 --> 00:04:14.229
to be cold out cold uh maybe it's just because
73
00:04:14.289 --> 00:04:16.850
i i live in 100 plus degree heat i.
74
00:04:16.829 --> 00:04:19.310
Was about to say it it may be the arizona
75
00:04:19.389 --> 00:04:22.259
of it all yeah and i don't mean the iced tea.
76
00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:24.899
It's good-ass iced tea.
77
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:25.740
It is good-ass iced tea.
78
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:27.959
If you don't know what iced tea actually tastes like.
79
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:35.199
Exactly. If you're a brisk iced tea fan, you'll love
80
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:36.439
Arizona tea.
81
00:04:36.579 --> 00:04:40.329
But I was driving through St. Louis around the airport
82
00:04:42.209 --> 00:04:47.410
doing normal things. Driving away from it and then driving
83
00:04:47.430 --> 00:04:52.000
to it. But as I was driving, I noticed... man, St.
84
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:56.339
Louis itself is old. Like the, like the, the neighborhoods
85
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.699
are old. Yeah. And like, you even go even further East,
86
00:05:00.939 --> 00:05:03.420
like Pennsylvania, they're going to be old as shit. And
87
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:07.279
you like, that's a completely different country. Yeah.
88
00:05:07.899 --> 00:05:10.279
It's, uh, I, I, that's what I want to see.
89
00:05:10.620 --> 00:05:15.399
I want to see a continuation series or just like a,
90
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.470
like just a limited series, like six episodes.
91
00:05:18.490 --> 00:05:20.449
You'd have to do a limited of, of.
92
00:05:20.629 --> 00:05:26.949
Coach Taylor finishing out his coaching career in some Juco
93
00:05:27.009 --> 00:05:29.970
in Pennsylvania or something like that. Like, I think that
94
00:05:30.350 --> 00:05:35.060
that would be cool. With NIL now and, and like
95
00:05:35.100 --> 00:05:37.839
the transfer portal and everything like that. I think that
96
00:05:37.860 --> 00:05:38.860
would be cool to see.
97
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.779
See, I was thinking high school still. I feel like
98
00:05:43.019 --> 00:05:44.459
he's a teacher of young men.
99
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.189
I would definitely be fine with seeing that, but I think,
100
00:05:47.629 --> 00:05:50.259
with what you have going on in the world of
101
00:05:50.379 --> 00:05:51.680
college sports. Yeah.
102
00:05:51.699 --> 00:05:53.779
That makes more sense. I mean, I'm writing a whole
103
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:54.420
thing about it.
104
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:58.300
Yeah. Putting coach Taylor in that situation would be awesome
105
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:02.649
because Kyle Chandler is just like somehow the perfect football
106
00:06:02.689 --> 00:06:04.129
coach for some reason.
107
00:06:04.550 --> 00:06:04.750
Yeah.
108
00:06:04.889 --> 00:06:07.829
Like I, I can't give you specific reasons. It has
109
00:06:07.850 --> 00:06:08.829
to be the voice. Yeah.
110
00:06:09.290 --> 00:06:11.980
He pauses at the right time. Like he puts the
111
00:06:12.009 --> 00:06:14.279
right inflection. And also it's just like, he has just
112
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:18.069
such a weird Southern tank twang. Where is it from?
113
00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:19.379
I don't know.
114
00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:20.839
You don't know.
115
00:06:21.019 --> 00:06:24.399
I've never known. I'm sure it's Texas. But he was
116
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:29.600
born in Buffalo, New York. Who fucking knows about Kyle Chandler?
117
00:06:29.660 --> 00:06:29.800
Yeah.
118
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.420
It's kind of like me. As I've gotten older, my
119
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.040
voice has gotten more southern. I don't know why.
120
00:06:35.899 --> 00:06:39.259
He contains multitudes, just like you, Drew. Contains multitudes.
121
00:06:39.620 --> 00:06:40.240
I think he's got more.
122
00:06:40.259 --> 00:06:41.000
You've got layers.
123
00:06:41.259 --> 00:06:43.019
I think he's got more multitudes. Like onions.
124
00:06:43.540 --> 00:06:45.899
Yeah. Like parfaits.
125
00:06:48.490 --> 00:06:50.389
We can't get on Shrek again. I mean, we never
126
00:06:50.449 --> 00:06:51.329
really got on it.
127
00:06:52.500 --> 00:06:56.420
Speaking of, I was sick for the last, like, four
128
00:06:56.459 --> 00:07:01.959
days straight. Finally had a few days off. Who watched
129
00:07:02.699 --> 00:07:03.899
the first four Shrek movies?
130
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:05.050
I'm sure it was you.
131
00:07:05.730 --> 00:07:06.149
This guy.
132
00:07:06.170 --> 00:07:06.870
Because it wasn't me.
133
00:07:07.610 --> 00:07:08.029
This guy.
134
00:07:08.470 --> 00:07:11.069
I mean, I like all four of them. Like, equally.
135
00:07:13.269 --> 00:07:19.800
I still think that there is something... incredibly special about
136
00:07:19.819 --> 00:07:20.540
the first one.
137
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.579
You know who i think has the funny oh god.
138
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:29.980
It's john lithgow like john lithgow as lord farquad makes
139
00:07:30.060 --> 00:07:36.620
me laugh so much and shrek coming into the town
140
00:07:36.689 --> 00:07:41.709
for the first time and the little like It's not
141
00:07:41.750 --> 00:07:42.769
a puppet show, I don't even know.
142
00:07:42.689 --> 00:07:43.750
What it is. Yeah, I know, it's like a little
143
00:07:43.769 --> 00:07:44.589
marionette thing.
144
00:07:44.689 --> 00:07:49.240
The little marionette thing, and then there's the wrestling stuff
145
00:07:49.339 --> 00:07:54.220
that goes on, and it's just... The best line in
146
00:07:54.259 --> 00:07:57.199
the series is, some of you may die, and that
147
00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:58.959
is a price I am willing to pay.
148
00:07:58.980 --> 00:08:03.110
Do you know what character I feel like steals more...
149
00:08:03.790 --> 00:08:09.670
It always has the biggest laugh for me, movie after movie. Pinocchio.
150
00:08:10.740 --> 00:08:11.399
Pinocchio's good.
151
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:12.860
Pinocchio just makes me laugh.
152
00:08:12.899 --> 00:08:13.779
Pinocchio's good.
153
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.920
There's, at one point, like, I think he's flying through
154
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.399
the air, and he goes, and then he gets turned
155
00:08:20.430 --> 00:08:27.250
back into the puppet again. Yep. It's, like, he steals certain,
156
00:08:27.370 --> 00:08:31.910
I mean, it is Gingerbread Man 2, but they just steal, like,
157
00:08:32.070 --> 00:08:33.710
it's the funniest laugh from every movie.
158
00:08:33.769 --> 00:08:38.740
Well, the ancillary characters are what makes those movies funny. Like,
159
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.710
there's just so many one-off jokes for each and every
160
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.110
one of these, like, little side characters.
161
00:08:45.289 --> 00:08:48.370
Known characters that you've known your entire life, but now
162
00:08:48.509 --> 00:08:50.509
they have, like, a modern voice for the first time.
163
00:08:50.529 --> 00:08:53.529
They have a modern voice and some kind of personality quirk.
164
00:08:53.570 --> 00:08:55.049
Yes. Oh, yeah.
165
00:08:55.269 --> 00:08:58.820
And it just makes it so much funnier. I mean,
166
00:09:00.059 --> 00:09:03.039
what was it? Was it Shrek 3 that we got Puss?
167
00:09:04.019 --> 00:09:05.399
Yes, because he was not. Okay.
168
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.370
Yeah. Antonio Banderas? Is he a trick too? He might
169
00:09:09.389 --> 00:09:11.210
be a trick too. I just watched all four of them,
170
00:09:11.590 --> 00:09:17.269
but Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots is great. Fucking great.
171
00:09:17.570 --> 00:09:21.350
And I defy anyone on this planet to tell me
172
00:09:21.889 --> 00:09:25.769
that that Puss in Boots movie is not fucking brilliant.
173
00:09:26.009 --> 00:09:28.840
I don't remember the first one, but the last wish
174
00:09:28.909 --> 00:09:29.389
I believe.
175
00:09:29.740 --> 00:09:30.049
Yes.
176
00:09:30.149 --> 00:09:32.879
That one, that one was very good. I slept on
177
00:09:32.899 --> 00:09:34.980
that one for a while. It's so good.
178
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:40.700
It's so good. It's so slept on. Um, Yeah, I
179
00:09:40.740 --> 00:09:45.100
watched those. I had a really eclectic few days of watching.
180
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.519
I watched Pacific Rim because I hadn't watched it in
181
00:09:48.570 --> 00:09:52.490
a while. And who doesn't want to watch.
182
00:09:51.899 --> 00:09:59.240
Giant mechs fight giant monsters. With Charlie Hunnam just screaming
183
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:00.080
random things.
184
00:10:00.340 --> 00:10:04.059
Yeah. And Idris Elba.
185
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:06.000
With a great speech.
186
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:07.460
With a great speech, yeah.
187
00:10:07.940 --> 00:10:09.559
He's great throughout. Yeah.
188
00:10:11.230 --> 00:10:14.269
And then it is the 25th anniversary of the release
189
00:10:14.309 --> 00:10:16.830
of Band of Brothers, which is one of my all-time
190
00:10:16.909 --> 00:10:17.970
favorite watches, period.
191
00:10:18.429 --> 00:10:18.750
Period.
192
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:24.899
I think it's one of the most well-done miniseries of
193
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:29.080
all time. And it's the 25th anniversary, so they released
194
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.210
kind of an overview called Legacy, which digs into things.
195
00:10:33.299 --> 00:10:38.289
And then they released extended cuts of the show, of
196
00:10:38.330 --> 00:10:43.049
the 10 episodes, with more behind-the-scenes stuff and interviews with
197
00:10:43.409 --> 00:10:47.659
the people from uh, easy company. And it's just, it
198
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:51.179
just sucked you back in right, right away. Is there a.
199
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:58.220
Conor Ratliff cut? What? Is there a Conor Ratliff cut?
200
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:00.340
I don't know.
201
00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:03.879
No, wait, it was Band of Brothers, right? Or was
202
00:11:03.950 --> 00:11:08.070
it Saving Private Ryan that he got cut out of because, uh,
203
00:11:08.649 --> 00:11:11.649
that he didn't get cast because Tom Hanks said he
204
00:11:11.669 --> 00:11:12.429
had dead eyes.
205
00:11:13.250 --> 00:11:18.639
No, that was, that was, um, That was Saving Private Ryan.
206
00:11:19.179 --> 00:11:19.509
Was it?
207
00:11:19.500 --> 00:11:21.210
I thought that was Band of Brothers. It was Band
208
00:11:21.250 --> 00:11:23.509
of Brothers. It was Band of Brothers. You're right. He
209
00:11:23.570 --> 00:11:26.330
did get cut. He had a small role, and he
210
00:11:26.370 --> 00:11:30.149
got cut, and he was recast because Tom Hanks said
211
00:11:30.190 --> 00:11:31.370
he had dead eyes. That's right.
212
00:11:31.710 --> 00:11:33.710
I remember that now. I almost want to re-listen to
213
00:11:33.730 --> 00:11:34.590
that podcast.
214
00:11:34.809 --> 00:11:35.990
Yeah, that podcast was good.
215
00:11:36.330 --> 00:11:39.009
It was just like a nice little mini-series. I think
216
00:11:39.029 --> 00:11:40.500
there's like 18 episodes.
217
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:42.740
Yeah, it was very short.
218
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:45.320
Yeah. Very funny, though.
219
00:11:46.110 --> 00:11:51.070
But yeah. And then I ended up watching Uncle Stav,
220
00:11:51.809 --> 00:11:58.240
which was Stavvy's new special. And it's premium.
221
00:11:58.419 --> 00:12:01.580
It's very good. I've seen some extended clips from it
222
00:12:01.620 --> 00:12:03.480
so far. I've heard some of the jokes.
223
00:12:04.220 --> 00:12:07.440
Him talking about how the reason why we don't have
224
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.740
healthcare in this country is because we don't riot enough.
225
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:11.080
Yeah, like the French.
226
00:12:11.659 --> 00:12:16.190
Yeah, like the French. Yeah. It's just perfect. It's a
227
00:12:16.610 --> 00:12:18.570
perfectly crafted Stabby joke.
228
00:12:18.850 --> 00:12:22.960
Stabby is a, he is a craftsman. I hate giving
229
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.159
him that much credit because I imagine he would hate
230
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:30.039
to hear it. But he is a, like, luckily he's
231
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:35.139
very funny, but he's very smart. He's not afraid to
232
00:12:35.179 --> 00:12:40.159
show that he's nothing like what he presents as.
233
00:12:40.179 --> 00:12:46.399
Yeah. He's incredibly smart. incredibly well thought out opinions. Like
234
00:12:46.460 --> 00:12:49.419
he has reasoning behind the things that he says and.
235
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:53.529
Believes he's a son of a, a social worker. And
236
00:12:53.610 --> 00:12:56.470
he also went to school to become a social worker.
237
00:12:56.710 --> 00:12:56.870
Yeah.
238
00:12:56.909 --> 00:13:02.809
He he's worked, he's been there. So in from Baltimore, Maryland, uh,
239
00:13:02.889 --> 00:13:04.750
he's seen it all. Yeah.
240
00:13:05.389 --> 00:13:08.769
Well, yeah. What? One of the jokes is where he's
241
00:13:08.789 --> 00:13:11.730
talking about how he hit rock bottom. But he's from Baltimore,
242
00:13:11.750 --> 00:13:14.129
so it's not real rock bottom. He's seen what rock
243
00:13:14.190 --> 00:13:15.840
bottom looks like in Baltimore.
244
00:13:16.049 --> 00:13:23.299
Yes. I genuinely really love the dude. I enjoy seeing
245
00:13:23.340 --> 00:13:24.320
him on podcasts.
246
00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:27.340
Yeah, I was about to say, all his podcast appearances
247
00:13:27.419 --> 00:13:31.600
have been just primo. He was on Cool Hang with
248
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:37.929
Amy Poehler. That was a good one. Him and Caleb
249
00:13:37.970 --> 00:13:39.509
have a great back and forth.
250
00:13:39.529 --> 00:13:40.250
I don't remember that.
251
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:44.659
Him and Caleb are on podcasts together.
252
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:46.990
No, no. Amy Poehler. I don't remember him.
253
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:48.039
I'm pretty sure he was on.
254
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:50.250
He might be. I don't remember it.
255
00:13:50.950 --> 00:13:55.750
Um, has he been on Conan? No, he's been, I
256
00:13:55.769 --> 00:13:58.769
feel like that would be a really good Conan to watch.
257
00:13:59.710 --> 00:14:03.159
If he's getting there, he's about to get there. Yeah. Uh,
258
00:14:03.259 --> 00:14:06.259
because I imagine Conan would love the shit out of stabby.
259
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:06.940
Yeah.
260
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:07.320
Yeah.
261
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:09.019
I think they'd have a great back and forth.
262
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:15.659
Uh, He is, like, what appearances has he really, really made?
263
00:14:18.980 --> 00:14:22.220
I'd like to see him and Mulaney have a sit-down chat.
264
00:14:23.139 --> 00:14:26.179
That's two different energies. I don't think either person would
265
00:14:26.259 --> 00:14:26.820
enjoy that.
266
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:29.639
I think it would end up being brilliant.
267
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:31.679
I don't think either one of them would like it.
268
00:14:33.230 --> 00:14:35.710
I think we're each deserving of our opinion.
269
00:14:35.730 --> 00:14:36.289
I just.
270
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:39.679
I think that is two different types of energy that
271
00:14:39.860 --> 00:14:43.200
have a chance to do something brilliant together when they mingle.
272
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.740
I agree. Because they're both very smart in their own ways.
273
00:14:49.220 --> 00:14:50.740
But Nick, can I tell you about some of the
274
00:14:50.899 --> 00:14:51.659
stuff I watched?
275
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:53.509
Yes, I would love to hear it.
276
00:14:53.610 --> 00:14:58.629
What I'm probably most excited that I've watched because literally
277
00:14:58.649 --> 00:15:08.320
who fucking knew that literally an award-worthy performance happened in
278
00:15:08.340 --> 00:15:09.659
the movie buddy.
279
00:15:11.139 --> 00:15:13.759
So i have heard the same thing from other people
280
00:15:13.779 --> 00:15:14.419
who have seen it.
281
00:15:14.779 --> 00:15:20.190
Like a serious award worthy performance by kristen miliotti uh
282
00:15:20.809 --> 00:15:28.779
because the movie like almost has barbarian level like transitions
283
00:15:29.100 --> 00:15:33.100
in uh during this movie i i hope that doesn't
284
00:15:33.340 --> 00:15:37.919
like spoil anything for anybody just because I don't want
285
00:15:37.940 --> 00:15:40.970
you to go in expecting Barbarian or something like that.
286
00:15:41.370 --> 00:15:47.669
It's very much a movie about a Barney-like character who
287
00:15:47.769 --> 00:15:52.190
kind of lives in its own world and kind of
288
00:15:52.210 --> 00:15:53.029
goes insane.
289
00:15:53.570 --> 00:15:56.129
It's Keegan-Michael Key that voices Buddy, correct?
290
00:15:56.389 --> 00:16:00.340
Yeah, but I couldn't really hear Keegan. I didn't know
291
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:02.600
it was Keegan until after. He never at.
292
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:06.929
One point just went, Is that clock right? Because I
293
00:16:06.980 --> 00:16:07.600
got to go.
294
00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:14.740
But yeah, the movie is face value exactly what it is.
295
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.230
But you just kind of the first couple scenes of
296
00:16:22.269 --> 00:16:26.370
the movie, you just kind of exist in this world.
297
00:16:27.769 --> 00:16:32.259
And then you zoom out. Oh, wow. And then it, like,
298
00:16:32.299 --> 00:16:36.360
the movie's pretty insane. But like I said, Kristen Milioti,
299
00:16:36.379 --> 00:16:37.740
crazy good.
300
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:38.889
Topher Grace is pretty good in it.
301
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:42.750
Topher Grace has really aged into being just that asshole,
302
00:16:43.230 --> 00:16:47.309
unsupportive husband that he was always meant to play.
303
00:16:47.830 --> 00:16:51.210
Yes, yes. Which is sad because I feel like he
304
00:16:51.330 --> 00:16:54.289
might be the nicest human being in Hollywood.
305
00:16:55.009 --> 00:16:57.789
I've literally followed his entire career.
306
00:16:57.850 --> 00:16:58.970
His entire career, yeah.
307
00:17:00.419 --> 00:17:05.279
I even watched Win a Date with Tad Hamilton, okay?
308
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:06.960
I've seen the shit.
309
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:07.900
Have seen.
310
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:10.519
Yeah, I've seen what he's done.
311
00:17:11.619 --> 00:17:15.839
I paid money to go to a theater and watch
312
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:16.700
Spider-Man 3.
313
00:17:16.700 --> 00:17:20.740
Three fucking times, bro. Three fucking times. Twice, yeah.
314
00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:25.799
Twice for me, yeah. Yeah, so Topher Grace, yeah. I
315
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:29.339
think big ups to him for sure, but... does he
316
00:17:29.390 --> 00:17:32.920
play off Krista Milioti well like is that a yeah.
317
00:17:32.539 --> 00:17:36.460
Yeah I mean they they're dynamic like it makes a
318
00:17:36.500 --> 00:17:38.339
ton of sense and then also at the end of
319
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:44.299
the movie it'll make a ton more sense but genuinely
320
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:53.970
great story campy as fuck like special effects it's like
321
00:17:54.130 --> 00:17:59.289
Barney it's like Thomas the Tank Engine It's it's so weird.
322
00:18:00.089 --> 00:18:03.390
Does it get the feel of watching a CRT television
323
00:18:03.410 --> 00:18:07.119
like a tube television at times? Like does this does
324
00:18:07.170 --> 00:18:10.259
it crop into the four by three?
325
00:18:10.500 --> 00:18:10.759
Yes.
326
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:12.000
Like kind of grainy.
327
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:15.079
I was trying not to like kind of go into that.
328
00:18:15.660 --> 00:18:18.369
Because I know the trailers have shown that.
329
00:18:18.619 --> 00:18:19.119
Oh, does it?
330
00:18:19.220 --> 00:18:21.730
I mean, well, yeah, the trailers have shown the one
331
00:18:21.750 --> 00:18:22.910
point four by three.
332
00:18:22.930 --> 00:18:26.289
At one point it go, it changes from four by
333
00:18:26.349 --> 00:18:28.349
three to wide. Okay.
334
00:18:28.730 --> 00:18:31.829
And that, and that's when you know, shit's about to happen.
335
00:18:32.130 --> 00:18:36.880
Yes. And it's incredible movie. I could like genuinely could
336
00:18:36.950 --> 00:18:39.279
not recommend buddy enough.
337
00:18:40.259 --> 00:18:42.619
You know, the funny thing is the director Casper Kelly
338
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:47.519
is actually most well-known, uh, For an adult swim show.
339
00:18:47.779 --> 00:18:50.150
Yeah, I re-watched it. Too many books. I re-watched it,
340
00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:52.009
and it goes into horror at the very... It's like a.
341
00:18:52.339 --> 00:18:55.420
It's like a one... Well, it was a one-off, basically.
342
00:18:55.539 --> 00:18:56.319
Yeah.
343
00:18:56.859 --> 00:18:59.750
That was parodying 90s sitcoms.
344
00:18:59.869 --> 00:19:03.009
Yeah. It becomes very backrooms-y as well.
345
00:19:03.490 --> 00:19:03.890
Oh, okay.
346
00:19:04.170 --> 00:19:07.819
Yeah. Because stuff starts clipping at the very end of it.
347
00:19:07.950 --> 00:19:08.140
Oh, wow.
348
00:19:08.450 --> 00:19:14.049
It starts imploding, like this... title sequence for a like
349
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:19.049
a 70s or 80s sitcom just keeps going and it
350
00:19:19.130 --> 00:19:25.670
starts colliding like like it becomes almost a body horror
351
00:19:25.750 --> 00:19:28.369
kind of uh thing as well too many too many
352
00:19:28.430 --> 00:19:32.670
cooks goes on a wild ride in like 13 minutes.
353
00:19:33.109 --> 00:19:35.750
It absolutely does i re-watched it a couple weeks ago
354
00:19:35.829 --> 00:19:42.599
yes um But because too many cooks makes you live
355
00:19:43.339 --> 00:19:44.380
in the awkwardness.
356
00:19:44.819 --> 00:19:46.920
Yeah. It just keeps going.
357
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:50.759
Yeah. It makes you live in it, which. I don't
358
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:56.930
think enough movies or television take that risk. Like that
359
00:19:56.970 --> 00:20:00.690
is a risk that I think, well, oftentimes movies and
360
00:20:00.710 --> 00:20:03.849
televisions are averse to because they're like, well, what if
361
00:20:03.890 --> 00:20:07.380
the audience doesn't understand? Like, they do not have enough
362
00:20:07.420 --> 00:20:10.099
faith in their audience. And it's good to hear that,
363
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:12.619
that Casper Kelly has faith in his, in, in the audience.
364
00:20:13.809 --> 00:20:17.049
Yes. And, uh, it kind of reminds me, there was this, uh,
365
00:20:17.089 --> 00:20:21.269
like I feel like for a while, adults, one was
366
00:20:21.450 --> 00:20:26.130
really rolling on these kind of short form, uh, like one-off, uh,
367
00:20:26.619 --> 00:20:34.180
like director driven things. Uh, there's one that Jason Manzoukas, um, produced, uh,
368
00:20:35.190 --> 00:20:40.150
And I gotta find it. Rafi? No. Mr. Neighbor's House.
369
00:20:40.349 --> 00:20:43.650
No, I'm just... Jason Mantzoukas is Rafi. That's what I was... Oh,
370
00:20:43.710 --> 00:20:44.009
I'm sorry.
371
00:20:44.069 --> 00:20:47.410
I did not hear you. Well, I think I heard
372
00:20:47.470 --> 00:20:51.470
Rafi and I thought of... What's it called? The musician Rafi.
373
00:20:51.789 --> 00:20:53.490
Oh, I know what you're talking about. I was talking
374
00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:56.900
about Rafi from The League. Because I, too, have eaten
375
00:20:56.940 --> 00:20:58.839
a hot dog on the toilet before.
376
00:21:00.980 --> 00:21:02.579
I'm sure. I'm sure I have.
377
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:02.680
What?
378
00:21:05.059 --> 00:21:11.059
I've been drunk near barbecues too many, uh, too often,
379
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:14.440
too often for that to not happen. I haven't, I
380
00:21:14.569 --> 00:21:17.490
haven't really been drunk in years though, but, uh, I
381
00:21:17.549 --> 00:21:19.650
do know that I've been drunk enough to eat a.
382
00:21:19.910 --> 00:21:21.309
Hot dog on a toilet.
383
00:21:21.369 --> 00:21:22.609
Yeah. Anyway, I'm sorry.
384
00:21:22.829 --> 00:21:23.849
Uh, Manzoukas.
385
00:21:24.230 --> 00:21:27.839
Yeah. They had this, uh, this like short film called Mr.
386
00:21:27.900 --> 00:21:31.380
Neighbor's house, uh, starring Brian, Brian Husky, where it was
387
00:21:31.500 --> 00:21:36.740
very much like a, um, uh, Mr. Rogers, uh, kind
388
00:21:36.819 --> 00:21:42.220
of meets, uh, what's his name? Peewee. And that starts
389
00:21:42.259 --> 00:21:46.099
going crazy. And then they actually, they got a second one, uh,
390
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:48.980
as well, which, uh, Mr. Neighbor's house too. They got
391
00:21:49.289 --> 00:21:53.069
like in two, uh, two years later, highly recommend those.
392
00:21:53.130 --> 00:21:56.349
Those are Brian Husky is such an underrated comedian.
393
00:21:56.849 --> 00:21:59.869
Yes. You would just wish like he'd find like a
394
00:21:59.910 --> 00:22:01.180
big role. So yes.
395
00:22:01.230 --> 00:22:05.079
Yeah. Yes, I really wish he would because he, again,
396
00:22:06.180 --> 00:22:11.109
super underrated comedian. Yeah. He's great in Children's Hospital when
397
00:22:11.130 --> 00:22:11.750
he's on it.
398
00:22:12.490 --> 00:22:14.529
I forgot all about Children's Hospital.
399
00:22:14.849 --> 00:22:16.609
Children's Hospital is so fucking funny.
400
00:22:17.210 --> 00:22:22.130
I never really watched that show ever in succession. I
401
00:22:22.589 --> 00:22:25.190
only ever just caught Children's Hospital.
402
00:22:25.569 --> 00:22:29.799
Yeah, yeah. He was in Veep, too, as well. Yes,
403
00:22:29.859 --> 00:22:30.480
he was.
404
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:31.259
A journalist, wasn't he?
405
00:22:31.700 --> 00:22:31.940
Yeah, yeah.
406
00:22:32.380 --> 00:22:37.339
Yeah. He's especially in that first season whenever they're at
407
00:22:37.380 --> 00:22:40.480
the ice cream parlor. Yes. And he's trying to get
408
00:22:41.059 --> 00:22:44.380
a comment. And, of course, he gets a scoop because
409
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:51.670
I'm sure someone did something very stupid. I tried rewatching
410
00:22:51.710 --> 00:22:55.609
that show recently. I just need to just restart it
411
00:22:55.710 --> 00:22:57.970
and watch it all the way through. It's been a while.
412
00:22:57.990 --> 00:23:00.509
It's been since COVID since I watched it.
413
00:23:02.099 --> 00:23:09.960
Yeah, it's been a while since I watched it, for sure.
414
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:14.779
He also shows up as a cameo in Superbad, I think.
415
00:23:16.220 --> 00:23:21.519
Brian Husky. I, for some reason, remember seeing him in it,
416
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:23.980
but I can't. That's weird.
417
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:28.579
I also watched 21 and 22 Jump Street. Jesus Christ,
418
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:29.000
they're so funny.
419
00:23:29.019 --> 00:23:29.779
They hold up, man.
420
00:23:30.059 --> 00:23:34.029
They hold up. I watched Talladega Nights.
421
00:23:34.890 --> 00:23:35.410
Pound of Coke?
422
00:23:36.970 --> 00:23:38.789
We don't want to ruin their fucking lives.
423
00:23:39.410 --> 00:23:41.529
Pound of Marijuana?
424
00:23:41.630 --> 00:23:47.609
Best Party Ever. Booyah! I re-watched Talladega Nights just because
425
00:23:47.670 --> 00:23:50.430
I was in a... What's his name?
426
00:23:52.369 --> 00:23:54.089
Will Ferrell?
427
00:23:54.509 --> 00:23:55.769
John C. Reilly movie.
428
00:23:55.789 --> 00:23:57.529
John C. Reilly, yeah.
429
00:23:57.890 --> 00:24:00.490
I've re-watched Walk Hard recently as well.
430
00:24:03.819 --> 00:24:06.359
I want to go back to Ricky Bobby real quick. Okay.
431
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:09.619
Because I was thinking about this the other day. Out
432
00:24:09.660 --> 00:24:15.130
of all the scenes, all the quotable lines in that movie,
433
00:24:15.970 --> 00:24:20.730
for some reason, the one that sticks out to me
434
00:24:20.809 --> 00:24:24.069
the most and that I use the most often is.
435
00:24:26.130 --> 00:24:29.609
How do you listen to the TV while you're listening
436
00:24:29.630 --> 00:24:32.410
to music? Or watch a movie while you're listening to music?
437
00:24:33.190 --> 00:24:34.799
Why do you want to do that? Because I like
438
00:24:34.819 --> 00:24:42.019
to party. And it's just... It's Kyle... It's John C.
439
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:48.559
Reilly just sitting in Ricky Bobby's home because he's taken over... Yeah,
440
00:24:48.579 --> 00:24:49.400
he's replaced him.
441
00:24:49.420 --> 00:24:51.359
He's a driver's wife.
442
00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:56.089
Yeah. And then he's asking Ricky... If he thinks that
443
00:24:56.130 --> 00:25:01.390
his place is haunted. At the end of the phone
444
00:25:01.410 --> 00:25:04.250
call when there's a little voice.
445
00:25:05.670 --> 00:25:06.630
Oh, so funny.
446
00:25:07.569 --> 00:25:15.009
Again, out of all the gags in that entire movie,
447
00:25:15.029 --> 00:25:17.819
which it is chock full of them, that is the
448
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:19.259
one that I always come back to.
449
00:25:19.450 --> 00:25:23.269
For some reason, it's Michael Clarke Duncan for me. Don't
450
00:25:23.309 --> 00:25:24.769
you put that on me, Ricky Bobby.
451
00:25:26.009 --> 00:25:27.730
Don't you put that choo-choo on me, Ricky Bobby.
452
00:25:28.990 --> 00:25:29.890
It's so funny.
453
00:25:29.910 --> 00:25:31.309
Time for tough love.
454
00:25:32.710 --> 00:25:37.410
No, he's always doing this. And then whenever he says
455
00:25:37.450 --> 00:25:39.910
that in such a way, he's been waiting to say
456
00:25:39.930 --> 00:25:44.700
that about Will Ferrell his entire life. Yes.
457
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:48.440
It's one of the two standout roles for Michael Clarke
458
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:51.259
Duncan for me. A lot of people would say the
459
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:53.680
Green Mile, which is brilliant. Don't get me wrong.
460
00:25:53.700 --> 00:25:55.339
Are you going to say Daredevil?
461
00:25:56.299 --> 00:25:58.779
No. You have to put Armageddon on there.
462
00:25:59.220 --> 00:26:04.750
Oh, he's great. I mean, whenever he's riding his motorcycle
463
00:26:04.769 --> 00:26:07.890
through South Dakota. Yes, through the police barricade.
464
00:26:07.910 --> 00:26:08.230
Oh, my God.
465
00:26:08.250 --> 00:26:12.450
Like, with the tassels and stuff. Dude, nobody's looked cooler
466
00:26:12.539 --> 00:26:16.420
on a motorcycle ever than Michael Clarke Duncan. We don't
467
00:26:16.460 --> 00:26:17.619
ever want to pay taxes.
468
00:26:17.660 --> 00:26:22.789
Bruce Willis goes crazy. white horse, and he looks back,
469
00:26:22.910 --> 00:26:25.069
and Michael Clark Duncan's just standing there, and he goes,
470
00:26:25.490 --> 00:26:26.470
White House.
471
00:26:27.410 --> 00:26:27.829
House.
472
00:26:29.130 --> 00:26:31.930
Oh, he wants to stay in the Lincoln bedroom at
473
00:26:31.950 --> 00:26:34.650
the White.
474
00:26:38.059 --> 00:26:43.019
House. Michael Clark Duncan's fantastic. And then, like, man, such
475
00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:46.339
a great crier. One of the best. One of the
476
00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:47.759
best criers ever.
477
00:26:48.059 --> 00:26:48.660
So good.
478
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:50.849
It's like him... Sally Field.
479
00:26:51.710 --> 00:26:52.079
Yes!
480
00:26:55.180 --> 00:26:59.640
Absolutely. Just won an Emmy. We could talk about the Emmys,
481
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:03.019
but let's talk... One second. I also watched Days of Thunder.
482
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:11.220
Holds up, man. It's a movie about ignoring your doctor girlfriend,
483
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:12.720
but winning anyway.
484
00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:17.750
Yep. It's true. Is it wrong that that sounded like
485
00:27:17.809 --> 00:27:21.970
Paul Scheer just said that? Or Jason Manzoukas, actually.
486
00:27:24.450 --> 00:27:28.470
Little Brother with John Cena and Eric Andre. Better than
487
00:27:28.509 --> 00:27:34.480
you think. Found that out. More sincere than you think.
488
00:27:34.660 --> 00:27:37.920
There's a couple crude jokes, but most of the movie,
489
00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:39.240
pretty sincere.
490
00:27:39.259 --> 00:27:45.680
I rewatched Ricky Stanecki a couple weeks ago.
491
00:27:45.700 --> 00:27:46.109
Nice.
492
00:27:47.289 --> 00:27:52.940
And just the entire... thing in the office where William H.
493
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:55.339
Macy is found out to be.
494
00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:57.839
Yeah, all the hand gestures.
495
00:27:58.299 --> 00:28:02.400
Yes. It's still hilarious.
496
00:28:02.660 --> 00:28:06.009
I still love all his songs. All of his songs.
497
00:28:06.109 --> 00:28:08.690
Like his jizz songs or whatever they are. They're all
498
00:28:08.769 --> 00:28:13.450
sex parody songs. Yes. But I think he specifically calls
499
00:28:13.490 --> 00:28:15.130
it jizz rock or something like that.
500
00:28:15.150 --> 00:28:20.220
Jizz rock, yes. John Cena has... the comedy chops, man.
501
00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:23.940
He just was there with the best born with the
502
00:28:24.140 --> 00:28:30.009
body of fucking a God, but the comedy chops of
503
00:28:30.109 --> 00:28:33.809
somebody who has been in the standup circuit for his
504
00:28:33.849 --> 00:28:34.730
entire fucking life.
505
00:28:34.829 --> 00:28:38.269
Fearless. He's a fearless. Like if, if he thinks it
506
00:28:38.309 --> 00:28:39.049
will be funny.
507
00:28:39.809 --> 00:28:40.450
He will do it.
508
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:41.609
He will do it.
509
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:44.200
Coyote versus acne. He was great in that.
510
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:47.880
Yeah. I taught, I taught. You taught, you taught? I
511
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:49.500
don't pay you to tink, you taught. I pay you
512
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:55.160
to talk. Genuinely one of the best written lines I've
513
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:56.599
ever heard in my entire life. I don't pay you
514
00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:58.180
to tink, you taught. I pay you to talk.
515
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:01.859
It's not as good as the sitting duck payoff.
516
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:05.710
I do love the sitting. He is sitting.
517
00:29:06.430 --> 00:29:08.089
That payoff is perfect.
518
00:29:08.109 --> 00:29:08.490
He is sitting.
519
00:29:09.650 --> 00:29:10.529
Payoff is perfect.
520
00:29:11.210 --> 00:29:15.670
It's not the most outwardly laughable joke. but it to
521
00:29:15.769 --> 00:29:16.829
me it was just.
522
00:29:17.690 --> 00:29:22.859
Perfectly crafted payoff is perfect yes and it also goes
523
00:29:22.900 --> 00:29:27.980
to show that yes it's true bugs bunny is the greatest.
524
00:29:29.940 --> 00:29:32.549
He's great always will be apparently that was a last
525
00:29:32.589 --> 00:29:34.650
minute addition but i don't believe that even.
526
00:29:34.630 --> 00:29:38.190
Oh i can't believe that i can't believe that yeah.
527
00:29:38.430 --> 00:29:41.000
I listened to the the director's guild podcast. Once again,
528
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:44.859
there are other podcasts. This podcast is, was the podcast.
529
00:29:44.980 --> 00:29:48.660
Was this a podcast at gmail.com? I'm Andrew LZ, Andrew LZ.com.
530
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:50.980
And that's, that's Superman's underscore Papa.
531
00:29:51.869 --> 00:29:52.349
No doubts.
532
00:29:53.049 --> 00:29:54.769
I mean, he is Superman's Papa.
533
00:29:55.509 --> 00:30:00.930
Yes. But yeah, John Cena just has the, just, ingrained
534
00:30:01.089 --> 00:30:05.190
in him the comedy chops uh just a seasoned grizzled.
535
00:30:04.869 --> 00:30:08.880
Veteran yeah and he's also great at drama he can
536
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:12.019
do literally anything you ask him to well i mean.
537
00:30:12.380 --> 00:30:14.660
You can look at at the first two seasons uh
538
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:18.440
of peacemaker uh as an example like it runs the
539
00:30:18.500 --> 00:30:21.329
gamut it's got the drama it's got the stuff that
540
00:30:21.349 --> 00:30:23.049
will literally make you cry it's got.
541
00:30:22.950 --> 00:30:25.009
The most sympathetic character on the show.
542
00:30:25.009 --> 00:30:29.410
Super hilarious stuff yeah and then obviously the action yeah
543
00:30:29.430 --> 00:30:34.529
um I mean, no more gripping scene than when he
544
00:30:34.609 --> 00:30:38.619
finds out John Economos ratted out his father and then
545
00:30:39.460 --> 00:30:45.779
completely improv'd whips off like a hundred names of real,
546
00:30:46.500 --> 00:30:50.700
fake people, dead people, alive people.
547
00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:56.519
I'm not done. But for me, I've been mainly thinking
548
00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:57.720
of that scene with.
549
00:30:59.730 --> 00:31:02.150
What's her name on the bed in the hotel, like
550
00:31:02.170 --> 00:31:05.450
in the season finale season two, uh, where they just
551
00:31:05.470 --> 00:31:08.769
kind of have a heart to heart. And it was her, Danielle, uh,
552
00:31:08.910 --> 00:31:12.430
can't think of her last name right now. Um, yeah, it,
553
00:31:13.650 --> 00:31:18.259
John can do whatever, man. Uh, yeah. The red lion
554
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.980
from Voltron. Ricky Stinecki is a complete, like.
555
00:31:24.380 --> 00:31:27.319
If you didn't, movie is not, movie is not great. No,
556
00:31:27.990 --> 00:31:29.470
But it has some funny moments.
557
00:31:29.549 --> 00:31:31.839
Yeah. I mean, I like the cast.
558
00:31:32.339 --> 00:31:33.420
The cast is funny, yeah.
559
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:37.559
You got Zac Efron and Jeremiah... What's his name?
560
00:31:38.779 --> 00:31:43.279
Andrew....
561
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:41.940
Santino.
562
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:45.559
Yeah, Santino. Thank you. And then we talked about William H.
563
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:54.730
Macy. Yeah. But, Nick, let's talk about what's it called? Lanterns.
564
00:31:55.069 --> 00:31:55.769
Lanterns is....
565
00:31:58.339 --> 00:32:01.740
Well, we've missed a couple weeks, so let's just do
566
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:07.480
a quick overview of, I believe, episodes 3, 4, and 5.
567
00:32:08.309 --> 00:32:14.529
Episode 3 was a flashback episode, so we get to
568
00:32:14.650 --> 00:32:20.779
see how absolutely awful Jon Stewart's childhood was.
569
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:23.240
And they knew it, too.
570
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:26.200
They knew it, and they still chose to do it.
571
00:32:27.420 --> 00:32:31.000
My favorite bit of that was definitely just the, the
572
00:32:31.019 --> 00:32:34.710
father coming to the realization that he's going to hate us.
573
00:32:35.589 --> 00:32:38.630
And just the, the entire scene leading up to that
574
00:32:38.670 --> 00:32:41.089
was great, but it was just like, he, the saying
575
00:32:41.130 --> 00:32:44.710
it out loud part. Yeah. Kind of just breaks your
576
00:32:44.730 --> 00:32:47.009
heart for them, but they're like, this is the best
577
00:32:47.089 --> 00:32:48.190
opportunity for him.
578
00:32:48.829 --> 00:32:50.910
And I like, I liked the rug pull, pull up
579
00:32:50.950 --> 00:32:55.380
the episode because the, the series premiere leads you to
580
00:32:55.440 --> 00:33:01.039
believe that, that this father is fucking nuts. Like, like the,
581
00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:03.380
the series premiere, one of the first things that we
582
00:33:03.460 --> 00:33:07.009
see is a young John Stewart getting taken out to
583
00:33:07.029 --> 00:33:08.869
the backyard and getting William Tell.
584
00:33:08.890 --> 00:33:09.990
Yeah.
585
00:33:10.509 --> 00:33:14.089
And you're like, Oh, this dad's fucking nuts. Uh, and
586
00:33:14.109 --> 00:33:18.289
then the, the complete rug pull of finding out, Oh no,
587
00:33:18.390 --> 00:33:26.390
it's his mom. That's fucking nuts. Uh, and controlling and, and, Yeah.
588
00:33:26.410 --> 00:33:30.950
But her scene with Laura Linney in the kitchen is
589
00:33:31.089 --> 00:33:36.529
so good. That entire episode was just those two people
590
00:33:36.849 --> 00:33:40.150
acting their fucking ass off with sugar.
591
00:33:40.529 --> 00:33:47.410
And I love that this series is going for it
592
00:33:47.490 --> 00:33:52.230
in the fact that it's like... It tells this... What
593
00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:55.420
in the comics is a godlike being and a guardian.
594
00:33:57.730 --> 00:34:02.319
that apparently you don't know shit about fuck because you
595
00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:08.260
come to Earth, to America, and you ask a black
596
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:10.639
man if he's afraid.
597
00:34:10.659 --> 00:34:15.800
In the middle of the night. Yeah.
598
00:34:15.949 --> 00:34:22.690
Thank you for going there as an incredibly Caucasian person,
599
00:34:23.269 --> 00:34:24.800
or as my wife and I like to call it,
600
00:34:24.829 --> 00:34:30.389
a non-practicing white. I obviously don't know what being a
601
00:34:30.469 --> 00:34:34.690
black man in America is like. But representation matters, as
602
00:34:34.750 --> 00:34:37.769
we have talked about on this podcast numerous fucking times.
603
00:34:37.949 --> 00:34:41.159
And I love... Oh, go ahead. Go ahead, no. I
604
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:43.719
was going to say, I love the... We got more
605
00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:47.840
information about the writing of the episode from the writer
606
00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:49.079
themselves because they.
607
00:34:49.099 --> 00:34:51.500
I love those little after-episode things that they do.
608
00:34:51.500 --> 00:34:52.059
With HBO?
609
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:53.679
Yeah. Yeah.
610
00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:58.659
But we got... she got the privilege to writing the
611
00:34:58.780 --> 00:35:02.639
true origin story for John Stewart, because apparently it had
612
00:35:02.739 --> 00:35:07.699
never really been explored. Uh, we would meet John Stewart,
613
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:12.239
probably thirties, maybe, uh, with some information that he had
614
00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:17.519
previously been an architect, uh, and in the military, he.
615
00:35:17.059 --> 00:35:18.019
Was a Marine sniper.
616
00:35:18.340 --> 00:35:21.579
Yeah. So we'd always gotten maybe that amount of information,
617
00:35:21.619 --> 00:35:25.139
but apparently we had never really delved deeper. And this
618
00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:28.449
writer was given the opportunity on this new HBO show
619
00:35:28.510 --> 00:35:32.050
with this brand new showrunner who gives a shit and
620
00:35:32.070 --> 00:35:37.769
is trying to build out an actual well-crafted world. She's
621
00:35:37.829 --> 00:35:40.969
given this opportunity and fucking knocks it out of the park.
622
00:35:41.030 --> 00:35:44.619
Just literally telling you exactly how you would have to
623
00:35:44.739 --> 00:35:48.039
raise a child to have no fear. Yeah. And also
624
00:35:48.059 --> 00:35:51.480
how that would feel if you were first given that
625
00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:55.079
opportunity to ask. Mm-hmm. do you have fear?
626
00:35:55.639 --> 00:35:55.840
Yeah.
627
00:35:55.980 --> 00:35:56.940
And what would happen?
628
00:35:57.659 --> 00:35:57.860
Yeah.
629
00:35:58.440 --> 00:35:59.460
Yeah. I loved it.
630
00:35:59.539 --> 00:36:04.449
Just overall. I think the world building of lanterns is
631
00:36:04.530 --> 00:36:07.050
what keeps me coming back every week. Not, not that
632
00:36:07.090 --> 00:36:10.030
it's a, not a good show. It's a fucking phenomenal show,
633
00:36:10.710 --> 00:36:13.610
but the world building that the, the time that they
634
00:36:13.650 --> 00:36:19.340
are taking to build characters, let you understand their motivations
635
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:23.920
while keeping the central mystery, still a mystery and, it's
636
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:27.960
done so well. And like, you can, you can see
637
00:36:28.019 --> 00:36:32.940
the blueprint for it from Lindelof's Watchmen that was on
638
00:36:33.139 --> 00:36:37.809
HBO years ago. And it just, it works. It works
639
00:36:37.849 --> 00:36:42.030
for these characters. Like they're taking these characters seriously, which
640
00:36:42.090 --> 00:36:48.230
is nice. It's not, you know, all flash and no substance,
641
00:36:48.489 --> 00:36:50.090
which is also very nice.
642
00:36:51.110 --> 00:36:53.869
I've loved aaron pierre on the show obviously we we've
643
00:36:54.610 --> 00:36:57.530
waxed poetic about kyle chandler and we will continue to
644
00:36:57.570 --> 00:37:01.480
but aaron pierre dude he like every single episode he's
645
00:37:01.500 --> 00:37:02.280
so good.
646
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:05.219
Yeah he he comes up with something new that i'm
647
00:37:05.260 --> 00:37:09.519
just like holy fuck that and i defy you to
648
00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:14.699
find me a a person alive that embodies john stewart
649
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:18.659
more than just the look like the 2026 version of
650
00:37:18.719 --> 00:37:22.219
Jon Stewart that we've seen in flash forwards to the
651
00:37:22.260 --> 00:37:26.519
present day. And like just the, the, the goatee, the
652
00:37:26.699 --> 00:37:30.090
tight haircut built like a fucking Mack truck. Like that's
653
00:37:30.130 --> 00:37:31.289
Jon Stewart from the comics.
654
00:37:31.630 --> 00:37:31.829
Yeah.
655
00:37:31.849 --> 00:37:34.869
Like that is like, or if you want to, if
656
00:37:34.909 --> 00:37:37.150
you want to be a nineties, two thousands kid, that's
657
00:37:37.210 --> 00:37:39.170
Jon Stewart from justice league unlimited.
658
00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:43.099
Like, uh, I knew about the green lantern. He was
659
00:37:43.179 --> 00:37:45.239
that green. He was the green lantern. I knew. Yeah.
660
00:37:45.579 --> 00:37:51.139
Um, uh, So, yeah, episode three, I thought... What I
661
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:53.900
also liked about episode three, I should say, is that
662
00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:58.559
it firmly put me in the camp of, oh, we
663
00:37:58.619 --> 00:38:04.559
can't fucking trust the Guardians, which I think is going
664
00:38:04.579 --> 00:38:08.300
to be a central thing moving forward in all of Lanternum,
665
00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:10.800
like whether we just get green lanterns or if we
666
00:38:10.820 --> 00:38:14.139
get yellow lanterns as well or any other spectrum of lanterns.
667
00:38:14.750 --> 00:38:18.750
Like the guardians are not to be fucking trusted. Cause
668
00:38:18.809 --> 00:38:20.409
obviously Hal doesn't trust them.
669
00:38:21.130 --> 00:38:23.710
Well, we've never seen Hal with them. Yeah.
670
00:38:23.750 --> 00:38:25.449
We've never seen Hal interact with them.
671
00:38:26.269 --> 00:38:30.809
All we know is that they want Hal gone. And
672
00:38:31.449 --> 00:38:34.340
from our perspective that we've seen, we kind of see why.
673
00:38:34.829 --> 00:38:36.070
I understand. Yeah.
674
00:38:36.530 --> 00:38:40.920
But Liana is also the only guardian we've seen. We've
675
00:38:40.980 --> 00:38:43.119
never seen her full form from the front.
676
00:38:43.500 --> 00:38:43.659
Yeah.
677
00:38:44.699 --> 00:38:49.989
Are we even sure she's a guardian? Because why does John,
678
00:38:50.010 --> 00:38:53.150
because we find out in episodes five and six, John
679
00:38:53.190 --> 00:38:55.789
has to call his parents or his parents have to
680
00:38:55.809 --> 00:38:58.699
call him to get in contact with the guardians. And
681
00:38:58.739 --> 00:39:00.840
that doesn't make a whole lot of fucking sense for
682
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:01.780
godlike beings.
683
00:39:02.179 --> 00:39:06.199
Yeah. Especially if they're like a ham radio.
684
00:39:07.019 --> 00:39:09.440
Yeah, basically. A ham radio and a satellite dish.
685
00:39:09.500 --> 00:39:09.659
Yeah.
686
00:39:10.429 --> 00:39:13.130
Also, Nick, I got to bring this up just because
687
00:39:13.190 --> 00:39:14.829
we're going to get to it here in a little bit.
688
00:39:15.090 --> 00:39:15.719
Yeah.
689
00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:21.139
Aaron Pierre, also the owner of a character name that
690
00:39:21.300 --> 00:39:27.389
is top tier from the movie Young, is it? Or Old.
691
00:39:29.670 --> 00:39:33.429
His name in that movie was Midsize Sedan. And Nick,
692
00:39:33.510 --> 00:39:35.909
do you know what that reminds me of? A great
693
00:39:36.949 --> 00:39:40.469
movie name. What is that, Drew? One of our great
694
00:39:40.510 --> 00:39:43.519
directors right now, especially in horror, and his movie comes
695
00:39:43.639 --> 00:39:48.219
out this week. I'm talking about Mr. Zach Kreger, director.
696
00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:49.630
Of Miss March.
697
00:39:50.050 --> 00:39:56.139
Barbarian. Weapons. Resident Evil. And Miss March.
698
00:39:56.159 --> 00:39:56.840
Miss March.
699
00:39:57.500 --> 00:40:01.699
And you know what character has the greatest fucking name
700
00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:04.320
ever in this movie? Greg Robinson.
701
00:40:04.840 --> 00:40:07.010
Greg Robinson does. And tell them the name, Drew.
702
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:11.289
It's Horsedick.mpeg. And it's the greatest fucking... And that is.
703
00:40:11.329 --> 00:40:13.329
By the way, is Horsedick, one word.
704
00:40:13.769 --> 00:40:13.989
Yes.
705
00:40:14.150 --> 00:40:16.369
Dot, spelled out, D-O-T.
706
00:40:16.630 --> 00:40:20.800
Yes. Mpeg. Yes. Don't you forget it.
707
00:40:21.480 --> 00:40:21.639
Yeah.
708
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:23.900
Also, I think he has a micropenis in the movie.
709
00:40:24.510 --> 00:40:25.239
Yes, I believe so.
710
00:40:26.630 --> 00:40:29.610
But I feel like Aaron Pierre's character's name in that
711
00:40:29.670 --> 00:40:34.230
movie was kind of a loose reference to Horse Dick
712
00:40:34.250 --> 00:40:34.829
got in bed.
713
00:40:34.929 --> 00:40:36.369
I hope so. I hope so.
714
00:40:36.389 --> 00:40:41.099
Maybe M. Night Shyamalan just liked the whitest kids you know.
715
00:40:41.260 --> 00:40:44.880
Yeah. Maybe he was a big fan. Yeah. No, episode
716
00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:50.800
four brings us back into 2016.
717
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:54.079
Mind games, a lot of them.
718
00:40:54.360 --> 00:40:58.340
Yeah, mind games are being played. You know, they get
719
00:40:58.400 --> 00:40:59.380
caught on the ranch.
720
00:41:01.019 --> 00:41:03.079
Have to draw a dude nude.
721
00:41:03.159 --> 00:41:07.369
John draws a dude nude. You can do it from memory. Yeah.
722
00:41:07.750 --> 00:41:15.289
But I did love seeing Aaron Pierre... the construct of
723
00:41:15.349 --> 00:41:16.190
that drill.
724
00:41:16.710 --> 00:41:16.949
Yes.
725
00:41:17.010 --> 00:41:21.530
To get to the weenie, if you will. Which he
726
00:41:21.570 --> 00:41:25.230
got to the weenie. Well, no, he also got to
727
00:41:25.269 --> 00:41:26.010
Macon's weenie.
728
00:41:27.650 --> 00:41:28.570
Yeah, he really did.
729
00:41:29.300 --> 00:41:31.639
But that drill was so intricate and cool. And it
730
00:41:31.699 --> 00:41:35.639
shows you, like from the comics, the cool thing about
731
00:41:35.699 --> 00:41:40.769
Jon Stewart is he, because he wasn't an architect because
732
00:41:40.809 --> 00:41:43.829
he's a Marine sniper and so diligent and an artist,
733
00:41:44.630 --> 00:41:47.570
he builds constructs from the inside out.
734
00:41:48.050 --> 00:41:48.269
Yes.
735
00:41:48.969 --> 00:41:52.469
So everything is a working piece within his constructs. So
736
00:41:52.510 --> 00:41:56.409
his constructs for at least the earth green lanterns, we
737
00:41:56.449 --> 00:42:01.239
find out later that he's just that fucking imaginative and good. Um,
738
00:42:01.460 --> 00:42:06.699
like they are the most complex constructs of, of the lanterns.
739
00:42:07.260 --> 00:42:10.260
So it was cool. for them to play on that
740
00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:11.119
in the series.
741
00:42:11.780 --> 00:42:14.909
That kind of makes me think about Kyle Chandler so
742
00:42:14.969 --> 00:42:16.349
far of what we've seen.
743
00:42:17.170 --> 00:42:17.909
Yeah.
744
00:42:18.309 --> 00:42:19.869
What have we seen him conjure?
745
00:42:20.949 --> 00:42:27.110
A shield, some bubbles, some more bubbles, and some more bubbles.
746
00:42:27.130 --> 00:42:28.050
He can't build it.
747
00:42:28.150 --> 00:42:30.780
A bottle opener and a $ 20 bill.
748
00:42:31.059 --> 00:42:37.090
Yeah. Whenever we watched, what's his name? Aaron Pierre get
749
00:42:37.190 --> 00:42:40.510
tested by the guardians before by the watch. Yeah. Yeah.
750
00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:42.199
He was told you got to build it from the
751
00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:48.320
inside out. So with that, all we've seen Kyle Chandler
752
00:42:48.360 --> 00:42:51.860
do is build some pretty simple stuff. Yeah.
753
00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:54.840
So, and I do believe that this is on purpose.
754
00:42:55.059 --> 00:42:57.599
Like I wholeheartedly believe this is on purpose.
755
00:42:57.800 --> 00:42:58.639
Yeah.
756
00:42:58.820 --> 00:43:03.409
They're, they're, they're building to something and it, We got
757
00:43:03.429 --> 00:43:04.250
three episodes to get there.
758
00:43:04.269 --> 00:43:08.039
He's conjured a shield as well. Yeah. Like a giant dome.
759
00:43:08.260 --> 00:43:08.739
A dome.
760
00:43:08.940 --> 00:43:09.139
Yeah.
761
00:43:09.380 --> 00:43:13.840
A couple of those. But yeah, episode five was more
762
00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:19.670
set up for the big reveal. We know who the
763
00:43:19.690 --> 00:43:25.190
Manhunter is. And episode six was basically just.
764
00:43:25.949 --> 00:43:27.869
Five.
765
00:43:28.269 --> 00:43:32.119
Thank you. Thank you. Episode five, which... What a great
766
00:43:32.219 --> 00:43:34.489
ending to episode four, by the way, before we go
767
00:43:34.510 --> 00:43:38.349
to episode five. Because Kyle Chandler knows who the Manhunter is.
768
00:43:39.150 --> 00:43:40.710
And he just wants to make sure he and John
769
00:43:40.730 --> 00:43:44.969
are on the same page. And John doesn't give the
770
00:43:44.989 --> 00:43:49.610
Manhunter up. So Kyle Chandler wrecks the fucking rental car.
771
00:43:50.690 --> 00:43:53.670
And I thought it was just a perfect ending to
772
00:43:53.710 --> 00:43:57.510
that episode. We pick right back up from there. And
773
00:43:57.550 --> 00:43:58.650
it's just all out war.
774
00:44:00.269 --> 00:44:03.619
And I don't fully understand it. I don't.
775
00:44:04.539 --> 00:44:06.260
Okay.
776
00:44:07.090 --> 00:44:10.989
What is the purpose of all those satellites taking out
777
00:44:11.030 --> 00:44:17.090
the town, basically? Without any kind of rhyme or reason.
778
00:44:17.590 --> 00:44:21.309
So our Manhunter says in the beginning that the goal
779
00:44:21.510 --> 00:44:24.610
is to run the ring's power down to zero and
780
00:44:24.630 --> 00:44:25.710
then kill Hal Jordan.
781
00:44:26.150 --> 00:44:28.690
Okay. So it's just trying to get them to shield them?
782
00:44:29.340 --> 00:44:31.039
The way the Manhunter is going to do that is
783
00:44:31.619 --> 00:44:35.659
they're going to throw everything at Hal Jordan, whether that
784
00:44:35.719 --> 00:44:38.889
be collateral damage of the people of the town or
785
00:44:38.949 --> 00:44:43.469
right at him. Like, uh, Hal's going to have to
786
00:44:43.610 --> 00:44:46.269
use his ring and it's going to, he's going to
787
00:44:46.289 --> 00:44:47.670
run out of power and then she's going to come
788
00:44:47.710 --> 00:44:47.980
for him.
789
00:44:48.650 --> 00:44:51.710
Okay. Um, and. Okay. So that makes more sense now.
790
00:44:51.849 --> 00:44:52.829
I was not sure why.
791
00:44:52.869 --> 00:44:58.090
It's also, it's also important to note that, uh, manhunters
792
00:44:58.510 --> 00:45:04.780
like they are vicious like they self-preservation is high on
793
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:08.420
their priority list and if a manhunter is threatened they
794
00:45:08.460 --> 00:45:12.199
will do whatever is necessary to get to preserve yeah
795
00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:15.699
to persevere so i think it's a combination of those
796
00:45:15.820 --> 00:45:20.409
things uh we get a great fight scene uh between
797
00:45:20.849 --> 00:45:24.050
john and and how yeah in the motel near the
798
00:45:24.110 --> 00:45:30.099
end of the the episode uh of sunday's episode And,
799
00:45:31.019 --> 00:45:32.119
you know, we end with.
800
00:45:32.139 --> 00:45:35.760
John owes the Manhunter a favor, technically. Yeah. Even if
801
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:36.320
she's dead.
802
00:45:37.139 --> 00:45:42.559
Yeah. Well, I... And that's the thing. The Manhunt... That
803
00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:45.679
Manhunter may be dead, but... I know. That is not
804
00:45:45.699 --> 00:45:55.280
the final Manhunter. But I'm excited to see... Because the payoff...
805
00:45:56.000 --> 00:46:00.590
Knowing what we know from 2025 Superman, being that Guy
806
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:08.170
Gardner is the Green Lantern of Sector 2814, we know
807
00:46:08.190 --> 00:46:10.809
that John doesn't have the ring either. So the payoff
808
00:46:10.869 --> 00:46:14.289
of him going into the bar, Laura Linney being there,
809
00:46:14.789 --> 00:46:17.150
and he's like, here's your fucking Manhunter heart, here's your
810
00:46:17.190 --> 00:46:23.500
fucking ring, I don't want it. Because John doesn't trust anybody.
811
00:46:24.690 --> 00:46:27.409
He doesn't trust the Guardians. He didn't trust the Manhunter.
812
00:46:27.739 --> 00:46:31.699
He doesn't trust Hal. And I don't think he trusts
813
00:46:31.739 --> 00:46:32.360
his parents.
814
00:46:32.920 --> 00:46:36.380
No. He's a man with no country.
815
00:46:37.059 --> 00:46:42.190
Yeah. So I'm truly excited. We are now, you know,
816
00:46:42.809 --> 00:46:45.710
the lead up to episode six. We're coming back to
817
00:46:45.710 --> 00:46:48.289
2026 for the next episode.
818
00:46:48.309 --> 00:46:48.949
Oh, are we?
819
00:46:49.110 --> 00:46:53.460
And the fallout of 2016 and everybody being dead, like,
820
00:46:55.139 --> 00:46:59.400
We're going to see what's going on now. And we
821
00:46:59.440 --> 00:47:04.469
know Nathan Fillion will show up in Episode 6. So
822
00:47:04.530 --> 00:47:08.809
we'll get... Now, if you also notice, I think it's
823
00:47:08.849 --> 00:47:14.329
important to notice, in 2025 Superman, in Peacemaker, and in
824
00:47:14.449 --> 00:47:19.280
the trailers for Lanterns, Guy Gardner's ring is not Hal's ring.
825
00:47:20.820 --> 00:47:25.000
So Hal's ring is still out there. So I think
826
00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:30.340
one of two things. One, Jon is checking Hal's hand,
827
00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:34.900
the frozen Hal-sicle, if you will, to see if the
828
00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:37.480
ring came back to him after he gave it back
829
00:47:37.500 --> 00:47:38.139
to the Guardians.
830
00:47:39.639 --> 00:47:39.920
Okay.
831
00:47:40.820 --> 00:47:47.030
Or the Guardians had his ring. Still. So, for all
832
00:47:47.070 --> 00:47:49.730
intent and purposes, we know that Jon gets the ring
833
00:47:49.769 --> 00:47:53.780
in 2026. Yes. Because in the trailers for the last
834
00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:57.480
half of the episodes, we see Jon wearing the ring
835
00:47:57.820 --> 00:48:02.480
in present day. Can't wait to see him in costume.
836
00:48:03.300 --> 00:48:03.519
Yeah.
837
00:48:03.860 --> 00:48:06.099
I just, I don't know how it happens and I'm
838
00:48:06.139 --> 00:48:08.260
excited to see. Because this is building.
839
00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:09.199
What, him peeing?
840
00:48:10.239 --> 00:48:11.360
Yeah. Sorry.
841
00:48:12.179 --> 00:48:12.380
Sure.
842
00:48:12.860 --> 00:48:15.119
No, it's just a mystery still.
843
00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:15.960
Yeah.
844
00:48:16.480 --> 00:48:19.659
Because we thought the Manhunter mystery was going to be
845
00:48:19.679 --> 00:48:23.179
the whole season. And it's obviously not. We got three
846
00:48:23.260 --> 00:48:27.360
episodes left of a season where episode five.
847
00:48:27.280 --> 00:48:28.639
Seems like a season finale.
848
00:48:29.019 --> 00:48:29.239
Yeah.
849
00:48:29.800 --> 00:48:30.760
It's episode five.
850
00:48:31.139 --> 00:48:37.559
It's only episode five. So I think we're going spacebound
851
00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:44.099
by episode seven. I think Sinestro's going to come up.
852
00:48:44.940 --> 00:48:49.239
I think Oa's going to be seen. I think episode
853
00:48:49.340 --> 00:48:53.320
six will maintain... mostly earthbound, and by the end we'll
854
00:48:53.340 --> 00:48:54.039
be heading to space.
855
00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:57.360
Okay. I wasn't even thinking that we were even going
856
00:48:57.409 --> 00:48:58.699
to get there, to be honest.
857
00:48:59.690 --> 00:49:01.469
Well, if you look at some of the trailers, there's
858
00:49:01.489 --> 00:49:06.369
a shot of John and I'm not sure who it is.
859
00:49:06.429 --> 00:49:11.429
It could be Hal. It could be a Halogram. The clone,
860
00:49:11.469 --> 00:49:16.590
the Halogram of Hal. But they're on a two, either
861
00:49:16.699 --> 00:49:21.530
sunned or mooned planet. There are two celestial objects in
862
00:49:21.570 --> 00:49:24.989
the sky behind them as they walk forward. So, like,
863
00:49:25.590 --> 00:49:28.579
we are definitely going off-world. Awesome.
864
00:49:29.820 --> 00:49:32.639
Yeah. I can't wait for the rest of the season.
865
00:49:32.739 --> 00:49:36.619
I'm happy we still have three episodes left. Yes, very true.
866
00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:38.440
Speaking of TV.
867
00:49:39.769 --> 00:49:40.730
The Emmys.
868
00:49:40.750 --> 00:49:43.349
I love the Emmys. We can just run through some
869
00:49:43.409 --> 00:49:46.730
of our favorite categories and moments. I think, Nick, I
870
00:49:46.769 --> 00:49:48.250
know what your favorite moment was.
871
00:49:48.550 --> 00:49:50.110
My absolute favorite moment.
872
00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:55.039
I absolutely know. Because, Nick, whenever it was happening, I
873
00:49:55.079 --> 00:49:57.559
had to take my dog out because she just had
874
00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:01.300
to go. Of course. He was talking. I had been
875
00:50:01.340 --> 00:50:03.579
there for probably about a minute, close to a minute.
876
00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:06.780
Took my dog out, who takes her time, came back in.
877
00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:10.289
I was like, is he still talking? He was.
878
00:50:10.929 --> 00:50:11.699
He absolutely was.
879
00:50:11.710 --> 00:50:12.510
And he was on a roll.
880
00:50:13.170 --> 00:50:16.960
I believe it was DJ Khaled who said.
881
00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:20.000
So funny.
882
00:50:20.860 --> 00:50:23.940
No, my absolute favorite moment of the night was John Mulaney.
883
00:50:24.219 --> 00:50:28.300
And if they do not, if some awards ceremony, big
884
00:50:28.420 --> 00:50:32.260
awards ceremony, if the Globes or the Emmys or the
885
00:50:32.460 --> 00:50:36.840
fucking Oscars don't give this man a chance to host,
886
00:50:36.900 --> 00:50:39.550
they're cowards. Because.
887
00:50:39.630 --> 00:50:43.630
No, I'm sure he has been asked many times. I
888
00:50:43.670 --> 00:50:48.070
think he's not into it. Maybe. Because it's a huge undertaking.
889
00:50:48.469 --> 00:50:48.719
It is.
890
00:50:48.820 --> 00:50:52.360
It's a lot of stress and he's an act.
891
00:50:53.420 --> 00:50:54.340
I'm just saying... I.
892
00:50:54.820 --> 00:50:56.539
Think he's protecting himself there.
893
00:50:57.000 --> 00:50:58.659
The man's brilliant.
894
00:50:58.820 --> 00:51:02.789
I fully agree. I think it's a full self-preservation.
895
00:51:03.130 --> 00:51:05.610
It may be. It may be. But that entire bit
896
00:51:05.789 --> 00:51:09.789
about how quote, men are underrepresented in television.
897
00:51:10.050 --> 00:51:13.650
Ever since the existence of it. Yeah. There was just
898
00:51:13.670 --> 00:51:15.070
beauty pageants.
899
00:51:16.329 --> 00:51:20.190
And puppet shows with children. And then in the 60s,
900
00:51:20.269 --> 00:51:22.030
men said, wait a minute.
901
00:51:25.900 --> 00:51:29.719
It was a great time. I think, what's it called?
902
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:37.449
What was her name? The girl from Hacks. Megan Stalter
903
00:51:37.469 --> 00:51:44.190
showing up as an Emmy with the globe and the wings.
904
00:51:45.789 --> 00:51:50.019
One of my favorite bits on the entire broadcast.
905
00:51:50.420 --> 00:51:51.179
It was very good.
906
00:51:51.840 --> 00:51:54.400
No, Jean Smart, absolutely. She's, I think, the only person
907
00:51:54.559 --> 00:51:58.000
ever to win all five years that she was nominated
908
00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:01.639
for the same role. I get it. She only ran
909
00:52:01.659 --> 00:52:03.280
for five years. I get it.
910
00:52:03.320 --> 00:52:04.119
Hacks was great.
911
00:52:04.750 --> 00:52:09.780
Yeah. So, I mean, totally happy for her. I mentioned
912
00:52:09.820 --> 00:52:15.380
it earlier. What's her name? Sally Field won for Remarkably
913
00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:20.849
Bright Creatures. I loved her speech. Also, I just love
914
00:52:21.849 --> 00:52:25.989
Sally Field. Widow's Bay was a huge winner.
915
00:52:26.010 --> 00:52:27.739
Huge winner. Huge winner.
916
00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:30.739
Literally the best show that came out this year.
917
00:52:31.460 --> 00:52:34.829
It was Outstanding Comedy Series. I think Stephen Root won
918
00:52:34.869 --> 00:52:36.010
for Best Supporting.
919
00:52:36.030 --> 00:52:36.099
Yes.
920
00:52:36.329 --> 00:52:38.289
Or Outstanding Directing won.
921
00:52:38.329 --> 00:52:39.570
Matthew Rhys won.
922
00:52:39.849 --> 00:52:40.929
Matthew Rhys won.
923
00:52:40.949 --> 00:52:42.230
Kato Flynn won.
924
00:52:42.289 --> 00:52:51.619
Outstanding Writing for a Comedy. Yeah, Kato Flynn won. You're right.
925
00:52:53.139 --> 00:52:55.139
Betty Gilpin won for Guest Actress.
926
00:52:55.619 --> 00:52:58.420
Yes. That was on, that was not on the broadcast.
927
00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:02.780
That was on the, uh, the creative arts. I mean,
928
00:53:02.800 --> 00:53:06.750
it's the two nights before. Um, yeah, totally. I mean,
929
00:53:08.050 --> 00:53:09.769
incredible night. A lot of fun.
930
00:53:10.190 --> 00:53:10.730
It crushed.
931
00:53:11.269 --> 00:53:16.110
People criticize Shailene Woodley's outfit. I think it was just bold.
932
00:53:16.190 --> 00:53:18.880
I think it was just weird. And I'm, I don't
933
00:53:18.940 --> 00:53:22.519
hate it. I just kind of accepted it. It's a
934
00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:25.840
stylish decision of what she should wear.
935
00:53:25.860 --> 00:53:30.860
Rhea Sehorne winning for Pluribus I thought was awesome.
936
00:53:31.199 --> 00:53:32.340
Love Rhea.
937
00:53:33.119 --> 00:53:34.260
Along with.
938
00:53:35.780 --> 00:53:36.460
Noah Wiley.
939
00:53:36.940 --> 00:53:38.570
Noah Wiley won. Yeah, thank you.
940
00:53:40.070 --> 00:53:42.269
One of the best parts of John Mulaney's bit was
941
00:53:42.309 --> 00:53:45.829
whenever I think he brings up Bluey. And in the audience,
942
00:53:45.929 --> 00:53:49.989
I think Noah Wiley says, I like Bluey. Yeah.
943
00:53:51.349 --> 00:53:54.590
I loved seeing Pluribus and Vince Gilligan specifically.
944
00:53:54.690 --> 00:53:54.929
Yes.
945
00:53:54.949 --> 00:53:59.750
The guy who brought us Breaking Bad and Call Me....
946
00:54:00.909 --> 00:54:01.599
Better Call Saul.
947
00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:06.719
Better Call Saul, excuse me. Better Call Saul. Two television
948
00:54:06.780 --> 00:54:09.159
shows that are widely known as two of the best
949
00:54:09.219 --> 00:54:13.400
television shows ever. This was his first Emmy win, I believe.
950
00:54:14.739 --> 00:54:16.320
Yes, for writing, too, yeah.
951
00:54:16.360 --> 00:54:17.420
Yeah, for writing, yeah.
952
00:54:18.190 --> 00:54:24.769
It was long overdue. The what's it called? Stephen Root's
953
00:54:24.949 --> 00:54:27.949
speech was great. I did miss, I believe, like the
954
00:54:28.010 --> 00:54:31.960
first half hour of this because I decided to get
955
00:54:32.019 --> 00:54:35.340
in a quick run before. Yeah. Emmy started crazy early
956
00:54:35.380 --> 00:54:35.699
this year.
957
00:54:35.719 --> 00:54:36.719
They did. They did.
958
00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:40.719
And also that night I chafed the shit out of
959
00:54:40.760 --> 00:54:44.599
my my thighs. So much I had to start wearing
960
00:54:44.639 --> 00:54:46.780
a different pair of shorts to bed.
961
00:54:46.940 --> 00:54:47.300
Awesome.
962
00:54:47.500 --> 00:54:48.639
To get more.
963
00:54:50.139 --> 00:54:56.130
DTF St. Louis won quite a few in limited series. Harbor,
964
00:54:56.590 --> 00:55:02.409
as well as Linda Cardellini. They won writing and outstanding
965
00:55:02.530 --> 00:55:07.570
limited or anthology series. And directing, I believe, for that
966
00:55:07.639 --> 00:55:13.349
as well. So that was definitely cool to see. I
967
00:55:13.369 --> 00:55:19.639
think Matthew Brees won for The Beast and Me as
968
00:55:19.699 --> 00:55:21.199
well for a limited series.
969
00:55:21.260 --> 00:55:25.320
He cleaned up. To win for both Outstanding Actor in
970
00:55:25.340 --> 00:55:28.699
Drama and Comedy. Yeah.
971
00:55:29.380 --> 00:55:33.699
And then obviously it was nice to see Stephen Colbert
972
00:55:34.019 --> 00:55:36.440
win even after the show was cancelled.
973
00:55:36.800 --> 00:55:41.980
He was on, I think, Kimmel last night and Kimmel
974
00:55:42.079 --> 00:55:47.340
asked him Has anybody from CBS reached out to congratulate
975
00:55:47.380 --> 00:55:50.280
you on your Emmy win? And says, I'm not familiar
976
00:55:50.320 --> 00:55:56.650
with that organization or that company. It was great.
977
00:55:57.710 --> 00:56:00.170
It was good to see Desi win for The Daily
978
00:56:00.210 --> 00:56:01.110
Show as well.
979
00:56:02.469 --> 00:56:03.449
I must have missed that one.
980
00:56:03.769 --> 00:56:07.070
Yeah. She won for Outstanding Performer. Oh, Desi.
981
00:56:07.239 --> 00:56:10.119
I love Desi. It took me a second to remember.
982
00:56:12.139 --> 00:56:16.159
I love Desi. Yeah. I do love Klepper a lot.
983
00:56:16.599 --> 00:56:17.800
I like when he's on the desk. Oh, yeah.
984
00:56:17.820 --> 00:56:18.840
Jordan Klepper's great.
985
00:56:19.389 --> 00:56:21.690
Josh Johnson every once in a while gets the desk.
986
00:56:22.070 --> 00:56:23.530
Ronnie Chang gets the desk.
987
00:56:24.289 --> 00:56:25.679
All of the guys who fill in are.
988
00:56:25.949 --> 00:56:28.949
I don't think Dolce Sloan gets the desk, though. Does she?
989
00:56:29.110 --> 00:56:29.190
No.
990
00:56:29.210 --> 00:56:31.670
I think she's just a correspondent. I don't think so.
991
00:56:31.690 --> 00:56:32.760
I love Dolce Sloan.
992
00:56:35.659 --> 00:56:40.139
But, yeah. Let me show one. Outstanding directing. Outstanding writing.
993
00:56:40.280 --> 00:56:43.840
Outstanding variety series. The Muppet Show won.
994
00:56:44.159 --> 00:56:44.400
Yes.
995
00:56:45.320 --> 00:56:49.000
A couple, or three Emmys, I think. Some of them
996
00:56:49.039 --> 00:56:50.000
may be in front.
997
00:56:50.440 --> 00:56:56.519
Creative Arts, they were all. Nick, whenever Matthew Ries won
998
00:56:57.579 --> 00:57:01.699
for comedy actor, whenever Martin Short, they cut to Martin
999
00:57:01.719 --> 00:57:07.449
Short tearing up his speech. His speech. God, Martin's great.
1000
00:57:08.090 --> 00:57:09.389
I love Martin Short so much.
1001
00:57:09.840 --> 00:57:10.519
Uh, you know what?
1002
00:57:10.559 --> 00:57:13.380
I do take it back though. My favorite moment was
1003
00:57:13.539 --> 00:57:14.440
not John Mulaney.
1004
00:57:14.900 --> 00:57:15.159
Okay.
1005
00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:18.840
Although I apologize. That was my, that was my second favorite.
1006
00:57:18.860 --> 00:57:19.659
I just thought about this.
1007
00:57:19.860 --> 00:57:20.059
Okay.
1008
00:57:20.360 --> 00:57:27.909
My favorite moment was the Catherine O'Hara tribute.
1009
00:57:27.929 --> 00:57:33.110
Like with, with math, uh, with Macaulay and Dan and
1010
00:57:34.250 --> 00:57:37.090
I know her name. I talked about her all last night. Um,
1011
00:57:37.980 --> 00:57:39.840
She was so good on Schitt's Creek.
1012
00:57:43.460 --> 00:57:45.400
I'm going to let you try to figure it out.
1013
00:57:46.300 --> 00:57:52.000
I'm just going to. Annie Murphy. Those three were great.
1014
00:57:52.059 --> 00:57:53.989
I mean, Macaulay got, I think, most of the time.
1015
00:57:54.010 --> 00:57:57.710
I mean, Dan went on for quite a while, but
1016
00:57:57.750 --> 00:58:01.789
Dan also knew Catherine literally his entire life.
1017
00:58:01.989 --> 00:58:05.809
Yeah. I've heard the anecdote.
1018
00:58:05.869 --> 00:58:11.210
Catherine and Eugene were like, the best of friends forever.
1019
00:58:11.530 --> 00:58:14.059
So like Dan knew Catherine his entire life.
1020
00:58:14.480 --> 00:58:17.440
I had heard the anecdote my, uh, before, but him
1021
00:58:17.480 --> 00:58:24.079
talking about how, uh, anytime the night before shooting, she'd
1022
00:58:24.119 --> 00:58:29.170
send an email, just Dan, some thoughts on the script.
1023
00:58:29.369 --> 00:58:32.329
And then it'd just be a complete rewrite. And like,
1024
00:58:32.349 --> 00:58:35.030
you couldn't deny it because it was great. And because
1025
00:58:35.050 --> 00:58:36.710
she was Catherine O'Hare and she was brilliant.
1026
00:58:36.769 --> 00:58:43.039
So, Never say no to a wig wall. To wearing
1027
00:58:43.079 --> 00:58:45.559
a wig as a hat. To naming a wig. Or
1028
00:58:46.639 --> 00:58:48.500
to giving a wig a name, excuse me.
1029
00:58:49.639 --> 00:58:56.639
Incredible tribute. I also really loved... Nope, lost that one too.
1030
00:58:56.900 --> 00:58:58.900
I had it when we were talking about the... Oh, no,
1031
00:58:59.000 --> 00:59:04.159
Mariska Hargitay. People were giving her crap, saying it was bad.
1032
00:59:04.239 --> 00:59:08.610
But I think the brand... for the night for her
1033
00:59:08.659 --> 00:59:12.800
hosting was awkward. I think it was her kind of
1034
00:59:12.840 --> 00:59:18.099
finally not just being Mariska Hargitay from whatever show she's on.
1035
00:59:18.400 --> 00:59:19.900
Law & Order SVU.
1036
00:59:20.260 --> 00:59:26.030
Yes, that one. Exactly the one you said. She's not
1037
00:59:26.159 --> 00:59:30.780
just Mariska Hargitay from Law & Order SVU, correct? Um,
1038
00:59:31.320 --> 00:59:34.420
and yeah, but she is also the Mariska Hargitay that
1039
00:59:34.460 --> 00:59:39.840
we saw during the NBA playoffs. Uh, and that, and
1040
00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:42.469
that she's fun and that she can wear a shirt
1041
00:59:42.670 --> 00:59:47.349
made by Alana Haim. Um, yes, that was the theme
1042
00:59:47.389 --> 00:59:50.550
of the night was just, Hey, I'm more than just
1043
00:59:50.829 --> 00:59:55.760
law and order SVU. Exactly. Yeah. I'm fun. And it
1044
00:59:55.800 --> 00:59:58.840
was the Stephen Colbert writers. And I thought they were,
1045
01:00:00.260 --> 01:00:02.440
it fit the bill. Yep. I agree.
1046
01:00:03.539 --> 01:00:04.940
It was a good show. It was a good show.
1047
01:00:05.539 --> 01:00:08.519
Um, I don't think the crowd really liked, uh, Rachel
1048
01:00:08.559 --> 01:00:11.500
Sennett and Odessa Azeon, uh, at first.
1049
01:00:11.539 --> 01:00:12.280
Unfortunately not.
1050
01:00:12.639 --> 01:00:15.699
But I think, I think, I think after, yeah, I
1051
01:00:15.739 --> 01:00:18.070
think after they did that little head thing, I think
1052
01:00:18.110 --> 01:00:20.610
they did fine. Uh, but I don't think that they
1053
01:00:20.630 --> 01:00:22.349
had a great first impression. No.
1054
01:00:23.309 --> 01:00:25.269
Um, you know, the sad thing is we talked about
1055
01:00:25.309 --> 01:00:29.150
how the Muppets won multiple Emmys. Disney came out, late
1056
01:00:29.190 --> 01:00:31.429
last week and basically said, we don't know what to
1057
01:00:31.489 --> 01:00:33.409
do with the Muppets so that we don't have any
1058
01:00:33.489 --> 01:00:34.389
new plans with them.
1059
01:00:35.429 --> 01:00:37.199
Bullshit. You can do anything with the Muppets.
1060
01:00:37.219 --> 01:00:39.219
How do you not know what to do with the
1061
01:00:39.360 --> 01:00:43.059
fucking Muppets? They're the Muppets.
1062
01:00:43.159 --> 01:00:44.119
They work everywhere.
1063
01:00:44.539 --> 01:00:46.880
Yes. They took Manhattan.
1064
01:00:49.480 --> 01:00:53.400
They had a Treasure Island. Great Tim Curry performance.
1065
01:00:53.460 --> 01:00:54.599
And a Christmas carol.
1066
01:00:56.510 --> 01:01:02.650
There were ghosts. I know. I just rewatched the Muppet
1067
01:01:02.690 --> 01:01:07.010
movie as well. It's so good, man. Like a fork
1068
01:01:07.050 --> 01:01:11.650
in the road. Like I'm lost. Hare Krishna. Um, like,
1069
01:01:11.690 --> 01:01:16.070
have you, have you thought about Hare Krishna? Every single,
1070
01:01:16.110 --> 01:01:19.260
like it's the weirdest running gag through that entire movie,
1071
01:01:19.300 --> 01:01:21.860
but it always gets me, uh, a bear in its
1072
01:01:21.920 --> 01:01:22.739
natural habitat.
1073
01:01:23.300 --> 01:01:23.420
Yeah.
1074
01:01:24.039 --> 01:01:26.969
A Studebaker. Uh, God.
1075
01:01:27.010 --> 01:01:28.750
So good. So good.
1076
01:01:30.110 --> 01:01:33.329
Gotta love Fozzie Bear. I don't care. Fozzie Bear is
1077
01:01:33.369 --> 01:01:36.369
my favorite character. He's a bad comic, but I love
1078
01:01:36.409 --> 01:01:39.079
him so much because he is such a bad comic.
1079
01:01:40.860 --> 01:01:43.880
Fozzie's great, don't get me wrong. But... I.
1080
01:01:44.940 --> 01:01:49.440
Understand anybody else loving whoever they love. I love Fozzie Bear.
1081
01:01:49.920 --> 01:01:51.199
Please tell me who you love.
1082
01:01:51.840 --> 01:01:53.590
It's either gotta be Gonzo for me.
1083
01:01:54.820 --> 01:01:57.429
Great song in the first movie. Yeah. So good.
1084
01:01:57.630 --> 01:02:04.289
Or I don't know. There's just something special about, about animal.
1085
01:02:04.489 --> 01:02:05.710
I know it doesn't say anything.
1086
01:02:05.969 --> 01:02:08.650
Totally get it. As I've gotten older. Do you know
1087
01:02:08.710 --> 01:02:17.010
who I've loved even more? Fucking piggy, dude. Piggy. She's like,
1088
01:02:17.929 --> 01:02:18.849
just because.
1089
01:02:18.610 --> 01:02:20.809
She's, she also contains multitudes.
1090
01:02:22.409 --> 01:02:27.019
You can see them all. Um, but there's like, she,
1091
01:02:27.199 --> 01:02:30.440
I feel like exists the best in the outside world
1092
01:02:30.559 --> 01:02:33.860
because like, there's that one thing she did with Martha Stewart,
1093
01:02:33.880 --> 01:02:38.000
like 40 years ago. And it's one of the funniest, like,
1094
01:02:38.440 --> 01:02:41.880
like interactions I've ever seen in my entire life. This
1095
01:02:42.000 --> 01:02:46.719
Martha Stewart, almost getting into an actual argument with Miss Piggy,
1096
01:02:46.739 --> 01:02:49.860
who I'm sure was Frank Oz down there. Most likely.
1097
01:02:50.699 --> 01:02:54.119
But you're right though. Miss Piggy makes like, she somehow
1098
01:02:54.199 --> 01:02:57.429
makes the most sense in the outside world, like outside
1099
01:02:57.510 --> 01:03:00.969
of the Muppets. But like, I gotta say, I said Animal,
1100
01:03:01.550 --> 01:03:06.400
is there a better fictional band than Dr. Teeth and
1101
01:03:06.460 --> 01:03:07.500
the Electric Mayhem?
1102
01:03:08.079 --> 01:03:11.420
I think they played the Superbowl. Technically, this past year. No,
1103
01:03:12.099 --> 01:03:14.719
they played, I think, the FIFA World Cup.
1104
01:03:14.980 --> 01:03:16.059
They played the World Cup, yeah.
1105
01:03:16.119 --> 01:03:19.119
Halftime. I think they appeared at the very beginning of it.
1106
01:03:19.139 --> 01:03:21.639
Like the Electric Mayhem, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem,
1107
01:03:21.659 --> 01:03:26.119
that's a great fictional pin. It's up there with Lone Rangers.
1108
01:03:26.559 --> 01:03:29.079
Thank you for pluralizing it. I was going to call
1109
01:03:29.119 --> 01:03:29.900
you on it if you didn't.
1110
01:03:30.000 --> 01:03:33.679
No, you have to pluralize it. It's a sticking point
1111
01:03:33.840 --> 01:03:35.179
in the movie, Drew.
1112
01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:40.960
I know, but... It's an easy mistake to make. It is.
1113
01:03:41.079 --> 01:03:41.980
You're right. You're right.
1114
01:03:42.000 --> 01:03:44.780
It's so easy that it's so perfect that it's dumb.
1115
01:03:44.800 --> 01:03:47.519
God, I love that movie so much. I'm not going
1116
01:03:47.539 --> 01:03:49.500
to lie. I love that movie so much. That is
1117
01:03:49.559 --> 01:03:51.429
a guilty pleasure if I've ever had one.
1118
01:03:52.050 --> 01:03:53.230
I don't even consider it a guilty pleasure.
1119
01:03:53.250 --> 01:03:55.829
I don't even know if it's guilty. Brendan Fraser.
1120
01:03:55.929 --> 01:03:58.570
Mandy Patinkin. Adam Sandler. Mandy Patinkin. Yeah.
1121
01:03:59.050 --> 01:03:59.150
Oh.
1122
01:04:00.269 --> 01:04:04.969
David Arquette. Yeah. He escapes but didn't want to.
1123
01:04:05.929 --> 01:04:06.630
Chris Farley.
1124
01:04:09.280 --> 01:04:13.849
So funny. Bernie Hudson? Wait, wasn't Chris Farley... Oh, no.
1125
01:04:13.889 --> 01:04:16.250
Chris Farley, I think, is the same character in Airheads
1126
01:04:16.369 --> 01:04:20.250
as he is in Wayne's World 2? Not really.
1127
01:04:20.269 --> 01:04:21.889
He's a cop in Airheads.
1128
01:04:22.429 --> 01:04:25.110
I know. But isn't he also a cop in Wayne's
1129
01:04:25.139 --> 01:04:25.380
World 2?
1130
01:04:25.360 --> 01:04:27.539
No, in Wayne's World 2, he's one of the roadies.
1131
01:04:28.619 --> 01:04:30.820
In Wayne's World 1, he's a security guard.
1132
01:04:31.760 --> 01:04:34.400
I think he's the same character in one. Or Mr. Big. Yeah,
1133
01:04:34.460 --> 01:04:36.460
I think he's the same character in two movies.
1134
01:04:36.719 --> 01:04:39.380
But yeah. He's a, he's a cop and Ernie Hudson's
1135
01:04:39.420 --> 01:04:40.019
his captain.
1136
01:04:40.440 --> 01:04:40.699
Yes.
1137
01:04:41.260 --> 01:04:42.650
Or his Lieutenant or something like that.
1138
01:04:43.469 --> 01:04:49.309
I love airheads. It's so good. Uh, yeah. Uh, but no,
1139
01:04:49.369 --> 01:04:51.250
the Muppets could exist anywhere.
1140
01:04:51.269 --> 01:04:56.800
Uh, Disney's just being stupid. Uh, Hey, some quick bits
1141
01:04:56.820 --> 01:05:00.000

1142
01:05:00.039 --> 01:05:01.820
want to talk about with you, uh, at the end,
1143
01:05:01.860 --> 01:05:05.090

easy to just be on the right side, dude.
1150
01:05:32.980 --> 01:05:36.539
You don't even have any openers anymore. They all dropped
1151
01:05:36.579 --> 01:05:37.099
your ass.
1152
01:05:37.360 --> 01:05:42.639
They were all Irish. What do you expect? They actually know. Yeah.
1153
01:05:43.320 --> 01:05:46.280
So, yeah. Get body. Go fuck yourself out of cheering.
1154
01:05:47.340 --> 01:05:52.320
An Irishman who's raised in England. He doesn't know shit.
1155
01:05:54.739 --> 01:05:56.039
Spider-Man Brand New Day.
1156
01:05:56.059 --> 01:05:56.659
Yeah.
1157
01:05:57.610 --> 01:06:01.460
Highest grossing domestic box office of all time. And it's
1158
01:06:01.480 --> 01:06:02.000
not surprising.
1159
01:06:02.360 --> 01:06:05.719
Pretty insane. It's a great movie. Still in theaters. Still
1160
01:06:05.780 --> 01:06:08.239
in theaters. I could go see it again, but you
1161
01:06:08.260 --> 01:06:12.420
know what the fuck I'm going to go see, Nick? Tomorrow? Tomorrow?
1162
01:06:12.619 --> 01:06:14.179
The day this comes out?
1163
01:06:14.199 --> 01:06:16.480
That's what I want to talk about.
1164
01:06:16.599 --> 01:06:19.019
Guys. It's been hailed.
1165
01:06:20.539 --> 01:06:25.500
The heat coming off of Zack Krieger's Resident Evil cannot
1166
01:06:25.579 --> 01:06:26.679
be denied. No.
1167
01:06:29.090 --> 01:06:33.980
It's like red hot, like all the, like I heard,
1168
01:06:34.079 --> 01:06:36.880
I read a review, like a short little Twitter review
1169
01:06:37.239 --> 01:06:41.300
from a actual journalist who I follow, who I've communicated
1170
01:06:41.340 --> 01:06:43.639
with quite a few times. Her name is Courtney. She's great.
1171
01:06:46.579 --> 01:06:50.969
What's it called? Two minutes after she tweeted, I saw
1172
01:06:50.989 --> 01:06:56.079
it talking about how it's just literally him exploring the
1173
01:06:56.119 --> 01:06:59.019
world of resident evil, every single thing that you like,
1174
01:06:59.380 --> 01:07:03.780
like the problem with resident evil games and movies is
1175
01:07:03.940 --> 01:07:06.269
most of the time, actually more recently, they've been a
1176
01:07:06.289 --> 01:07:09.610
little bit more out in the open. They always keep
1177
01:07:09.809 --> 01:07:13.829
the monsters a little hidden or just glimpses of them.
1178
01:07:14.809 --> 01:07:18.090
And she's like, Gregor's like, no, fuck that. I'm giving
1179
01:07:18.139 --> 01:07:20.980
you as many as I can. And you're going to
1180
01:07:21.019 --> 01:07:25.190
see how well lit they are. Yeah. So, He's not
1181
01:07:25.289 --> 01:07:28.949
shying away from showing you the thing that you're afraid of.
1182
01:07:30.090 --> 01:07:31.469
It's so it's office.
1183
01:07:32.489 --> 01:07:36.070
Go ahead. It's so it's getting such good reviews that
1184
01:07:36.110 --> 01:07:39.489
my sister who loves horror movies, but hates like dead
1185
01:07:39.590 --> 01:07:42.610
things coming to life and doesn't like body horror too much.
1186
01:07:43.269 --> 01:07:46.809
She's like it. The reviews that I'm seeing sound so
1187
01:07:46.909 --> 01:07:50.179
good and everything that I'm afraid I can't see it
1188
01:07:50.280 --> 01:07:54.860
because those are the things I don't like to personally see. Um,
1189
01:07:55.199 --> 01:07:58.420
just because I get it. Um, yeah.
1190
01:07:59.639 --> 01:08:04.170
Global box office on Twitter and they're completely non-spoiler, uh,
1191
01:08:04.250 --> 01:08:07.909
just tweet review, I guess said Zach Krieger's resident evil
1192
01:08:08.050 --> 01:08:10.929
is not only the best and most gigantic resident evil
1193
01:08:10.969 --> 01:08:15.050
movie yet. It's also Zach Krieger's best film, the best
1194
01:08:15.269 --> 01:08:19.300
horror film of the year, which may I remind you
1195
01:08:19.939 --> 01:08:23.829
this year had obsessions. Which Drew and I have talked
1196
01:08:23.890 --> 01:08:27.760
about for about 12 total hours on this podcast alone.
1197
01:08:27.779 --> 01:08:33.020
I paid Cooper Tomlinson 50 bucks to talk to him, basically.
1198
01:08:34.819 --> 01:08:39.770
And Columbia Pictures' best film since... Once Upon a Time
1199
01:08:39.819 --> 01:08:41.149
in Hollywood, Drew.
1200
01:08:41.170 --> 01:08:46.050
Tight 90 minutes, too. Tight 90. Guys.
1201
01:08:49.520 --> 01:08:52.500
This movie is going to be bonkers good.
1202
01:08:52.859 --> 01:08:53.220
I hope so.
1203
01:08:53.220 --> 01:08:57.489
And I'm not afraid to say. Domestic box office is
1204
01:08:57.689 --> 01:09:02.140
looking like it may be around. $ 50 million opening weekend.
1205
01:09:03.140 --> 01:09:08.840
Which I believe would cover what the movie costs to make.
1206
01:09:11.840 --> 01:09:14.180
It kind of creeped up on me how quickly it came.
1207
01:09:14.199 --> 01:09:15.600
Yeah, same.
1208
01:09:15.619 --> 01:09:21.510
But You know what? I'm not complaining. Can't wait to
1209
01:09:21.550 --> 01:09:21.960
watch it.
1210
01:09:21.989 --> 01:09:22.680
Absolutely not.
1211
01:09:22.689 --> 01:09:25.829
Like I said, by the time this comes out, I
1212
01:09:25.869 --> 01:09:29.869
will probably be heading to the theater in like five hours.
1213
01:09:31.390 --> 01:09:34.329
I mean, we've been talking about this movie since we
1214
01:09:34.369 --> 01:09:36.029
heard Krieger was attached to it.
1215
01:09:36.189 --> 01:09:38.149
Yeah. Since Weapons.
1216
01:09:38.890 --> 01:09:39.890
Yeah, basically.
1217
01:09:40.449 --> 01:09:41.800
We've been talking about Weapons for a while.
1218
01:09:42.850 --> 01:09:46.140
I mean, we talked about Barbarian for an entire fucking year.
1219
01:09:46.380 --> 01:09:47.000
Yeah, we did.
1220
01:09:47.659 --> 01:09:50.949
Our end of the year pod rated it as one
1221
01:09:50.970 --> 01:09:52.689
of our favorite movies of that year.
1222
01:09:53.109 --> 01:09:53.310
Yeah.
1223
01:09:53.569 --> 01:09:56.970
So like Krieger is just knocking it out of the
1224
01:09:57.109 --> 01:09:58.909
fucking ballpark, man.
1225
01:10:00.149 --> 01:10:03.770
And he seems okay. My favorite thing. And I mentioned this,
1226
01:10:04.689 --> 01:10:07.880
one of my favorite things about him is literally the
1227
01:10:07.939 --> 01:10:11.340
interviews that we get. He it's clear that he cares.
1228
01:10:11.779 --> 01:10:14.640
He cares about the writing. He cares about the process.
1229
01:10:14.680 --> 01:10:18.140
He cares about getting it right. He's not like, and
1230
01:10:18.239 --> 01:10:23.050
I love the directors that I love. He gives me almost, uh,
1231
01:10:23.560 --> 01:10:26.789
Guillermo del Toro energy about the energy of the current
1232
01:10:26.810 --> 01:10:31.710
project he's on. And I, what I've heard from other director,
1233
01:10:32.130 --> 01:10:36.310
like some of these newer, younger directors getting advice from
1234
01:10:36.489 --> 01:10:41.369
people like Steven Spielberg and, and, um, George Lucas and
1235
01:10:41.390 --> 01:10:45.939
stuff like that. They're like, you, every single movie, whenever
1236
01:10:46.020 --> 01:10:48.819
you're thinking about it, you need to think, this is
1237
01:10:49.539 --> 01:10:52.920
my best movie. Because this is what you're working on
1238
01:10:52.979 --> 01:10:56.359
at the time. You always need to have that kind
1239
01:10:56.399 --> 01:11:00.739
of energy. But I never really see that energy from
1240
01:11:00.960 --> 01:11:05.399
those directors talking about it. Because they're all kind of cool, calm,
1241
01:11:05.439 --> 01:11:09.399
and collect. Because they've been doing it for 40 fucking years. 40, 50,
1242
01:11:09.399 --> 01:11:10.079
60 years.
1243
01:11:10.939 --> 01:11:14.829
Some of them created Jaws and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Yes.
1244
01:11:15.210 --> 01:11:18.220
But what I get from Zach Kreger during any interview
1245
01:11:18.340 --> 01:11:22.279
is him talking about how much he cares about this
1246
01:11:22.319 --> 01:11:26.760
script that he wrote. Uh, he is a very passionate
1247
01:11:26.840 --> 01:11:31.930
writer and luckily he's a very talented director as well.
1248
01:11:32.470 --> 01:11:37.189
So I cannot wait to see this. Austin Abrams also
1249
01:11:37.250 --> 01:11:42.319
having a big couple fucking years. Um, with weapons he's
1250
01:11:42.399 --> 01:11:45.680
in whale fall later this year as well resident evil
1251
01:11:45.779 --> 01:11:49.640
he's got another movie coming soon um he was in
1252
01:11:49.680 --> 01:11:52.710
scary stories to tell in the dark yep he's he's
1253
01:11:52.750 --> 01:11:55.069
having a nice little come up i'm happy for that
1254
01:11:55.109 --> 01:12:00.210
kid um and then yeah and just a couple little
1255
01:12:00.229 --> 01:12:04.479
things i guess at the end snl uh yep martin
1256
01:12:04.600 --> 01:12:08.899
unfortunately has departed but ashley padilla and jane wickline have
1257
01:12:08.979 --> 01:12:11.369
been promoted Thank.
1258
01:12:11.229 --> 01:12:14.569
You for promoting both of them, but especially Ashley Padilla.
1259
01:12:14.930 --> 01:12:20.039
If I could get just a second Cyclops skit at
1260
01:12:20.100 --> 01:12:25.720
some point in season 52, I would be incredibly grateful.
1261
01:12:25.739 --> 01:12:28.439
It doesn't have to be Cyclops' guys. You could choose
1262
01:12:28.479 --> 01:12:30.020
a different monster if you want.
1263
01:12:30.039 --> 01:12:33.619
Yeah, her and just... What can I think of the.
1264
01:12:35.079 --> 01:12:37.340
I had her name, but I can't... She's a new
1265
01:12:38.319 --> 01:12:38.649
cast member.
1266
01:12:38.659 --> 01:12:38.779
No!
1267
01:12:40.449 --> 01:12:43.029
The answer is not door.
1268
01:12:44.760 --> 01:12:53.680
Not door. You may take the treasure. And she hands
1269
01:12:53.720 --> 01:12:56.539
him a key. I got the treasure.
1270
01:12:59.979 --> 01:13:01.850
We also are getting two new cast members.
1271
01:13:02.270 --> 01:13:02.510
Yes.
1272
01:13:03.289 --> 01:13:06.539
Grace Ryder. I hope I'm saying that correct. Yes. I
1273
01:13:06.600 --> 01:13:11.520
apologize to this next cast member because I'm most likely
1274
01:13:11.560 --> 01:13:18.319
going to butcher your name. I'm sorry. Sada Belosaje. It's
1275
01:13:18.439 --> 01:13:20.319
the best I got. I'm sorry if I got it wrong.
1276
01:13:21.560 --> 01:13:24.380
They will be joining the cast, though, for Season 52,
1277
01:13:24.380 --> 01:13:25.460
which comes.
1278
01:13:25.819 --> 01:13:26.720
Can't wait to see what they do.
1279
01:13:27.340 --> 01:13:30.520
Yeah, I believe Jalen Brunson is going to be your
1280
01:13:30.640 --> 01:13:32.479
Season 52 opening host.
1281
01:13:35.899 --> 01:13:39.680
Yeah, it's super. I mean, it makes sense. It's New York.
1282
01:13:40.720 --> 01:13:42.180
Just won the title.
1283
01:13:42.239 --> 01:13:46.189
Basketball season will be coming up very soon. So he
1284
01:13:46.310 --> 01:13:51.550
doesn't have to be technically getting ready yet or in
1285
01:13:51.590 --> 01:13:53.930
the middle of a season. So he has a week.
1286
01:13:55.109 --> 01:13:58.569
I look forward to it. I don't know how stiff
1287
01:13:58.710 --> 01:14:04.609
he is. Athletes typically aren't really the best hosts. There's
1288
01:14:04.630 --> 01:14:08.029
been some gems. There's been some good ones. Peyton Manning.
1289
01:14:08.630 --> 01:14:09.909
Peyton Manning.
1290
01:14:10.050 --> 01:14:12.770
I really hope Jalen Brunson can be one of the
1291
01:14:12.789 --> 01:14:14.550
good ones because you don't want anybody to be bad.
1292
01:14:15.149 --> 01:14:16.449
I don't want him to be bad. I'm sure he
1293
01:14:16.470 --> 01:14:16.979
doesn't want to be bad.
1294
01:14:16.989 --> 01:14:19.260
I don't want Jalen Brunson to be the Steven Seagal
1295
01:14:19.300 --> 01:14:21.659
of athletes is what I'm saying.
1296
01:14:23.840 --> 01:14:29.220
Watch any Steven Seagal behind the scenes people talking about
1297
01:14:29.239 --> 01:14:31.640
the week that he hosted. Jesus Christ.
1298
01:14:31.720 --> 01:14:33.039
Apparently the week of hell.
1299
01:14:33.350 --> 01:14:38.130
Yeah, there's been multiple weeks of hell at SNL. And
1300
01:14:38.829 --> 01:14:41.109
usually they didn't involve the drugs. The drugs would have
1301
01:14:41.130 --> 01:14:46.729
helped those weeks. Yeah, for sure. But I can't wait
1302
01:14:46.750 --> 01:14:49.810
to see those two new cast members. It sucks that
1303
01:14:49.850 --> 01:14:54.949
Martin's gone. Loved him. His little digital shorts the last
1304
01:14:55.029 --> 01:14:58.409
two seasons have been some of my favorite things I've
1305
01:14:58.449 --> 01:15:01.569
returned to on YouTube. So it sucks.
1306
01:15:02.930 --> 01:15:05.390
I just think it sucks that please don't destroy is
1307
01:15:05.430 --> 01:15:12.270
now basically gone. Like Ben's all that's left. And like,
1308
01:15:12.970 --> 01:15:16.520
I thought the, please don't destroy things or some of
1309
01:15:16.539 --> 01:15:20.840
the funniest things in like the, the season 47 season
1310
01:15:20.840 --> 01:15:21.739
48 timeframe.
1311
01:15:23.739 --> 01:15:23.899
Yeah.
1312
01:15:25.119 --> 01:15:28.119
It's a great cast. I mean, we haven't heard anything
1313
01:15:28.180 --> 01:15:32.819
about Che and Jost. So I, I.
1314
01:15:32.779 --> 01:15:35.260
Would assume that they're going to still be manning the
1315
01:15:35.319 --> 01:15:35.960
update desk.
1316
01:15:37.000 --> 01:15:41.100
I love them as writers. What's his name? Michael Che's
1317
01:15:41.500 --> 01:15:44.939
conversation with Mike Birbiglia just came back up on the feed.
1318
01:15:46.420 --> 01:15:50.180
He always seems so surprised that he's considered a great
1319
01:15:50.239 --> 01:15:56.159
joke writer, but dude, Michael Che's incredibly funny. His jokes are...
1320
01:15:55.439 --> 01:16:00.180
His sketches are some of my favorites. Tough notch. I
1321
01:16:00.220 --> 01:16:00.800
got nothing else.
1322
01:16:01.399 --> 01:16:03.579
Yeah, I'm done, man.
1323
01:16:03.819 --> 01:16:04.319
I got nothing.
1324
01:16:06.380 --> 01:16:07.199
Where can they find you, Drew?
1325
01:16:07.239 --> 01:16:11.720

1328
01:16:20.859 --> 01:16:23.199
but let's get them in the second. If you didn't
1329
01:16:23.220 --> 01:16:25.680
hear them then, maybe I talk too fast. Who knows?
1330
01:16:26.619 --> 01:16:29.619
I probably talk too fast. But I like talking fast.
1331
01:16:29.649 --> 01:16:31.869

Shoot us a line.
1335
01:16:41.260 --> 01:16:43.859
We'd love to talk to you about movies and TV
1336
01:16:44.380 --> 01:16:48.319
and all things in between. Drew, it's been a great
1337
01:16:48.380 --> 01:16:49.899
time talking to you. I hate that we missed so
1338
01:16:49.920 --> 01:16:52.079
many weeks in a row, but glad to be back
1339
01:16:52.140 --> 01:16:52.560
on track.
1340
01:16:53.010 --> 01:16:57.270
Yeah, sorry. I got totally distracted because one of our
1341
01:16:57.430 --> 01:17:03.880
league members said, was proposing a trade to me. And
1342
01:17:04.140 --> 01:17:07.739
I think I rejected it because it was Parker Washington
1343
01:17:08.380 --> 01:17:13.989
and Chris Rodriguez for Chubba Hubbard. And I'd be getting Chubba.
1344
01:17:14.010 --> 01:17:17.310
But I think I'm going to sit on Parker for
1345
01:17:17.329 --> 01:17:17.649
a while.
1346
01:17:18.229 --> 01:17:22.109
That league member tried to offload Chubba on me as well.
1347
01:17:22.229 --> 01:17:26.659
So I gotcha. I said no to that trade also.
1348
01:17:27.279 --> 01:17:30.319
I thought about it. I actually put the, those two
1349
01:17:30.380 --> 01:17:35.119
together for Chubba because to give him a running back,
1350
01:17:35.159 --> 01:17:37.300
but I think I want to hold on to Washington.
1351
01:17:37.359 --> 01:17:39.340
I think Washington's got a good season.
1352
01:17:39.439 --> 01:17:44.460
He wanted, he wanted Nico for Chuba. So I said, no, no,
1353
01:17:44.680 --> 01:17:45.439
that's not.
1354
01:17:45.520 --> 01:17:49.600
Yeah. Because who else is CJ throwing? Well, it actually
1355
