Hello and welcome to Generation Video. I'm wes and and
6
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:07.120
welcome back to the show. It's been several weeks since
7
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.120
we've been in the booth. Yes, yes, welcome back everybody,
8
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.040
all six of you, thank you for coming. Yes, attendance
9
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:14.760
was mandatory, so I'm glad you can make it.
10
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:15.359
Yep, yep.
11
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.640
You guys really need to pay your late fees because
12
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.640
we're struggling here. I can only change the address on
13
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:23.560
the mortgage statement so many times. This is track me down,
14
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.079
a deep cut for those of you who are in
15
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:28.480
the know. But we have to We have one light
16
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:30.280
bulb for our studio that we just keep having to
17
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:31.120
move room to room.
18
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:31.599
Yeah.
19
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:33.959
Yeah, As a matter of fact, it's my turn to
20
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:36.640
borrow the light bulb. So you can just go home
21
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:38.319
and get it real quick, bring it back. That would
22
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:38.719
be sweet.
23
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.280
We're gonna have to talk to Tracy about that one.
24
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:43.640
She needs the light bulb to Yeah, that's an automatic
25
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.079
to cliss overlapping schedules with the light. But we're like
26
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:47.159
the Sisters of.
27
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:51.239
Fate scheduled all I'm saying. I had it on the calendar,
28
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.680
all right, cut the table. We can't even afford that, damn.
29
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.840
So what have you been up to lately? See anything good?
30
00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:58.840
Watch that thing? Read anything?
31
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.319
Gosh, I'd see that was the last one that. Yeah,
32
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:04.640
we've we've been off for so long. What was our
33
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.879
last check in? I don't think I've seen too terribly much.
34
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:08.159
I took a little bit of time off from the
35
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.199
theaters because not a lot of good stuff came out.
36
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.159
Then I did the like the scream on scenes as
37
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:14.080
they were coming around.
38
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.199
So yeah, we could talk about the recent one you
39
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:16.759
and I saw.
40
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:19.520
Yeah, I'll do real quick. On the one before that,
41
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:19.800
I did.
42
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:21.120
I don't know if it was a week before, maybe
43
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.800
two weeks before, but I did see They Will Kill
44
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:28.240
You scream on scene, and uh, the movie is pretty decent.
45
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.360
I mean, it's nothing that's like reinventing the Wheel. I
46
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:31.800
feel like.
47
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.280
Every movie just has the same sort of like twist
48
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.719
reveal where it's just like, oh my gosh, it's some sort.
49
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.560
Of cult thing, cult element going on in this unassuming place. Cut.
50
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:45.039
Cults are so hot, right, now.
51
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.360
Yeah, like every movie, there's a freaking religious cult or
52
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:49.960
some fanatic something going on. So I mean, there were
53
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.479
some cool things about the movie, but you know, it's
54
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.400
not one that I would race to see. But we
55
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:57.879
did see something super cool recently, the Scream seen.
56
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.639
This past Monday. I guess as of this recording, it'll
57
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:06.919
be out, but we saw the new twenty twenty six
58
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.520
Faces of Death, so that was pretty cool. Scream Unseen.
59
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:11.879
I had a.
60
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.000
Feeling as it started that I was like, because I
61
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.120
didn't really pay attention online. I guess people were kind
62
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.360
of talking about it, but going into it, then it
63
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:21.639
kind of started, I'm like, this kind.
64
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.800
Of seems like Faces of Death. Oh yeah, it's Faces
65
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:24.159
of Death.
66
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:26.639
Yeah, you nailed that pretty early on, Like I don't know,
67
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.159
we were not even five minutes in, and I think
68
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:30.080
you would not have guessed it.
69
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:30.520
Yeah.
70
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.360
So I mean for gen xers, I think would be
71
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:36.960
most familiar with Faces of Death because it was kind
72
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.199
of a write of passage type rental back in the day.
73
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:41.840
You had to go to the shady video of stores
74
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.439
to find it, and it was just kind of you know,
75
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.719
in recent years, it's kind of been kind of debunked
76
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.479
of like, oh, yeah it was fake, you know whatever. Sure, yeah,
77
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.159
but you know, the way it shot like it's kind
78
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.560
of like Cannibal Holocaust in a way that's like it's
79
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.360
it's pretty damn close to realistic.
80
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.000
So right, and I just I don't want to make
81
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:03.919
this whole intro about many episodes of that, but it
82
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:05.960
was really cool one, so we do have some interesting
83
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.599
thoughts on it. So yeah, I had no familiarity with
84
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:09.960
this movie at all, Like I didn't know what the
85
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.080
movie was going to be obviously scream Unseen, so I
86
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.439
had like I was getting real like on the fly
87
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:15.280
trivia from Wes.
88
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:16.319
I was like, is this real shit?
89
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.959
This website looks real that they're looking one and yeah,
90
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.079
it's like Wes was like, yeah, this is a real thing.
91
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:22.639
And like he was trying to like get me up
92
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:23.759
to speed on what I needed to know.
93
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:25.600
Well, and you know that's the thing too, it's weird
94
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:26.319
to think that.
95
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:28.560
Well, first of all, it's weird to think in twenty
96
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:30.800
twenty six, the Faces of Death Event of all things,
97
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:31.720
is getting a remake.
98
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:35.360
But then I'm thinking, like, what weird member.
99
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.639
Barriers there are in which that they have some of
100
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:42.560
the main sequences from the first film in this movie.
101
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.120
Yes, so they're like the face of death fans like
102
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:46.040
that's their blue.
103
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.360
Milk moment, right, They're like, oh my god, they're doing
104
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.639
the execution there, and that was weird.
105
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:52.839
Some of this, like the most standing out parts of
106
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:55.160
the movie for me were like the the old footage.
107
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:57.199
And I think you mentioned that we did like a
108
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.639
probably won't be released because the audio quality. We didn't
109
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.759
have a discussion on it on the way on the
110
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.720
drive home, but it sounds.
111
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:06.480
Like we were like in the back of a truck
112
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:09.839
tied up. We were fighting for our rival road because
113
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.959
like the audio quality is really bad. We had to
114
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.399
record that one or else our families weren't gonna make it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
115
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.040
that's that's the Patreon exclusive exactly. We'll see there.
116
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.040
But I think you mentioned in that conversation where like
117
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:27.079
I think that movie was served by the limitations of
118
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.120
its time, where like you know, that Granny VHF style
119
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.399
like really landed to that credibility like is this shit
120
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:32.879
really going on?
121
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.079
Yeah, watching it on a CRT TV, like you know,
122
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:40.800
low resolution RF signal VCR type thing, Yeah, it was
123
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.439
just not quite clear enough. Although some of it was
124
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:45.720
pretty fake, like you could tell, like this dummy they
125
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:47.800
threw it off of a building. You know, some of
126
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:49.759
the ship's obviously fake, but then some of it's like
127
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:50.639
it's kind of close.
128
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:52.800
Well, they were clever on the filmmaking aspect of it,
129
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:55.560
because like that there's a monkey one and I couldn't
130
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:55.959
even watch it.
131
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:57.519
I was like, oh my god, let's see.
132
00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:59.279
That's the most infamous one. I would say from the
133
00:05:59.319 --> 00:05:59.759
first one.
134
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.040
It got my heart was racing on that part of like,
135
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:04.839
oh my gosh, next next.
136
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.279
Yeah, talk about being thrown into the deep end of horror.
137
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.639
You know, if you're just thrown right into the Faces
138
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.040
of Death then you had no idea for real. But
139
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.759
also too in the Internet age, like it's interesting because
140
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.639
Faces of Death was one of the first video nasties
141
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:20.399
and was, you know, kind of the one of the
142
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.959
first viral videos, right, and then you go to the
143
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.279
early age of the Internet with like rotten dot Com
144
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:31.160
and seeing all kinds of weird shit. So as a remake,
145
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:34.680
I thought it was interesting because you know, it's basically
146
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:38.519
it's a it's a killer that's trying to recreate some
147
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:40.800
of the the stuff, you know, so.
148
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:41.680
Inspired by it.
149
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.279
Yeah, so they have this kind of meta scream type
150
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.920
element to it. I thought it worked pretty well, very well.
151
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.040
Yeah, it's it's not quiet in this, like it's very
152
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.240
meta like scream, but it's not trying to be like
153
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.560
Campier on the nose about it. It's not trying to
154
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:56.720
have like a big commentary. It just like works like
155
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.639
thematically well within the movie like that. It's I love
156
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.240
movie where it takes place in the universe where movies
157
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.120
exist in that universe, so that always feels lived in
158
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:06.360
and I think they executed well.
159
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:08.560
Yeah, yeah, it was good. I like the design of
160
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.600
the Killer, you know, I just I was. I enjoyed
161
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:11.920
the movie.
162
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:12.519
I thought it was good.
163
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.240
So I would definitely recommend it to horror fans.
164
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:20.399
If there's a particular DreamWorks character that you had to
165
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.319
relate the Killer too, Is there anybody you could.
166
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:28.279
Shrek and human form? It's what's his name from Stranger Things?
167
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:32.199
Is doctor Montgomery Montgommery, Yeah, something like that.
168
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:34.560
Yeah, you sent me that meme earlier today and it
169
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.439
was like like a comment where someone's like he looks
170
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:39.120
like this is him on the red carpet of this
171
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.480
movie where he just looks absolutely jacked. Yeah, he's like,
172
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.480
he looks like Shrek after he turned into a human.
173
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:46.519
And I can't see it now exactly.
174
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:48.439
It's like one hundred percent if they were ever going
175
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.120
to do a live action Shrek just just dressed like that.
176
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:55.560
Please, I didn't need it until now. Okay, that's a
177
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.040
lot on Faces of Death. I'm so curious on what
178
00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:59.079
this next movie is going to.
179
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:03.240
Be, all right, So uh, let's see, I don't know.
180
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:05.600
I'm not gonna give you any hints. I'm just gonna
181
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.000
we're just gonna talk about the history of it, because
182
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.000
if I give you a hints, just gonna spoil it.
183
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:15.199
Okay, So I'll give me some histories. Let's get something going.
184
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.600
Yeah, let me just put it this way. So last
185
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:21.040
week or last episode, really you did spy kids?
186
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:22.240
Yes, So.
187
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.720
That was kind of Robert Rodriguez was on my brain
188
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.879
at that point, and so also the last couple of weeks,
189
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.240
I've been reading a couple of Joe Bob Briggs.
190
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:38.159
Books and like watching some of his old stuff.
191
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:41.840
So I have a guess, what's your guess from Dust
192
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:42.240
till Down?
193
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.279
No, that's a good guess though. Yeah.
194
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:50.440
Yeah, so I was kind of I was in the
195
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.240
grindhouse sort of mood, reading about, you know, old school
196
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:55.080
movies and stuff like that.
197
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:57.120
Okay, I have like two other guesses, but I think
198
00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:00.360
you've narrowed down enough. Whether or not, probably, I'll give
199
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:00.879
you one more.
200
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:07.080
Gosh Planet Terror super close though the other one he
201
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:10.960
did in that double feature. Uh no me, okay, well,
202
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:12.960
I have no other guesses than those would be the
203
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:14.320
only two that I would would go to.
204
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:17.639
Its Planet Terror adjacent So let's just throw the trailer on.
205
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:26.080
They called him machette Ah.
206
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:30.360
Yeah, one hundred.
207
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:39.480
Get in, sigwitch sick. Have you ever killed anyone before?
208
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.960
As you may know, illegal alien such as yourself or
209
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.440
being forced out of our country at an alarming rate.
210
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.759
For the good of both our people, our new senator
211
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.519
must die. And for that I would pay you one
212
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:56.519
hundred and fifty thousand dollars cash.
213
00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:00.279
He was given an offer he couldn't refuse.
214
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.320
That cost the most, because I'm the best there is.
215
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:18.360
Set up, double crossed and left for dead.
216
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.600
I took a vow of peace, and now you want
217
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:24.759
me to help you kill all these men?
218
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:31.039
Yes, bro, I mean padre, see what I can do.
219
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.120
He knows the score.
220
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:44.000
Where are my wife and daughter?
221
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:53.679
He gets the women that he kills the bad guys?
222
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:57.879
Oh yeah, you move that.
223
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:02.159
A Mexican daily a goddamn frowning.
224
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:10.200
But they soon realized they just fucked with the wrong
225
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:26.759
Mexican action, suspense emotion. Please, Father, have mercy, God has mercy.
226
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:32.120
I don't. If you're gonna hire a machete to kill
227
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:36.519
the bad guy, you better make damn sure the bad
228
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:47.000
guy he's at you machete rated X.
229
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:53.720
So that was the trailer from Grindhouse, from the original movie,
230
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.679
because then Machety didn't actually come out until twenty ten.
231
00:11:58.440 --> 00:11:58.720
Nice.
232
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.879
So I have the other trailer here, which is when
233
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:04.840
the movie actually came out. If you want to listen
234
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:05.879
to that, I would.
235
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:08.679
I mean, it's close, but the audience, if you don't
236
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:10.840
want to listen, feel free to skip ahead thirty seconds
237
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:11.840
or a minute, but I want to hear it.
238
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.000
Yeah, it's close.
239
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.320
But the original trailer, though, is I mean, when that
240
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.960
movie came out in the theaters and it was just
241
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:21.919
a fake trailer, basically, it was like, holy shit, this movie,
242
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:22.960
this has to be made.
243
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:27.840
Ple yes. So three years later they made it Eli
244
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:30.600
Rothy that with Thanksgiving too, with.
245
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.039
A much longer time frame. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because that
246
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.279
came out, what twenty twenty three something like that.
247
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.399
I love it when that shit happens. Yeah, give the
248
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.039
people what they want pretty much.
249
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:42.320
Yeah, so here's the here's the actual trailer then when
250
00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:43.679
the movie was actually coming out.
251
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:49.440
Yes, that looks like me.
252
00:12:50.960 --> 00:13:03.559
What's this long heart thing? Why much shit? They set
253
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:05.960
him up? Have you ever killed anyone before him? To
254
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.200
do a dirty job? The senator?
255
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:09.440
I must die now.
256
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.279
I can't make you do this, but I can make
257
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.000
damn sure something happens to you.
258
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.799
If you don't, Now, you gotta work. He's gonna make
259
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:17.480
them pay.
260
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:19.919
I mean to tell me that a Mexican daily or
261
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:20.840
has a damn.
262
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.399
He's good? He is bad.
263
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:30.399
You want me to help you kill.
264
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:34.080
All these men? Yes, Padre, see what I can do,
265
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:36.399
and it's gonna get up.
266
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:39.120
I know the legend.
267
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:41.039
Maybe the lesson is better.
268
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:49.960
I'll be the judge. Robert Rodriguez presents Danny Trell, Steven Segal, Mishins,
269
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:55.919
Lindsey Lowland introducing Don Johnson. You can have texted me
270
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.919
chet they don't, and Robert de niros Cucarasha has got
271
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:02.039
a K forty seven and he's laying waste everything he
272
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:04.360
gets in this path. He sent me a text he's
273
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:05.320
gonna be after us.
274
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.200
That much that they don't text much at the improvise
275
00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:29.840
much day.
276
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:31.240
Where are you going?
277
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:32.720
Dig out the track?
278
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.960
So yeah, you can tell that the new trailer is
279
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:43.080
much like the old one, but with more, you.
280
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.639
Know, of a developed story. Yeah, like and white crests
281
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:49.519
and they like, I don't know the style is there too?
282
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:51.720
Yeah, it's cool and they you know, they had the
283
00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:55.399
same recreated beats from the original trailer too, right.
284
00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.200
And I don't know what the character is. But he's like,
285
00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:59.799
I'll see what I can do, see what I can do, ye, barn,
286
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:02.039
I'm gonna say cheat by the book. I wasn't sure.
287
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:05.159
Yeah, so uh so yeah, have you have you seen
288
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:06.080
Machete before?
289
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:06.639
Yes?
290
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:10.840
I have like a pretty interesting familiarity with us, well,
291
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:14.480
not very familiar, I'll say I have seen it. Actually
292
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:16.720
I've seen it a couple of times, but both times
293
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.559
where I was in college and I used to host
294
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:21.159
like movie nights and things like that, so it was
295
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:23.600
like a very like non serious talk over sort of
296
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.240
environment where we're just kind of like this this movie
297
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:29.879
is uh I guess ripe for sort of memes and
298
00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:33.679
funny moment just because it doesn't take itself like it's intentionally.
299
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:36.559
Yeah, well that's the it's true to the spirit of
300
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:41.519
grindhouse films, which yes, yeah, for younger you know viewers,
301
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:43.440
you probably wouldn't have much of a grasp on it,
302
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:44.879
but you would look at it and be like, yeah,
303
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:45.360
that's funny.
304
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:48.559
Yeah, it's just like weird, campy, cheesy stuff.
305
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:50.840
And yeah, it was so fun to just like everyone
306
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:52.399
have a have a good time and just kind of
307
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:54.960
like make fun of the movie, not like in a
308
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:57.120
loving way, you know, the movie is designed for that.
309
00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:01.039
Well, that's the beauty of this particular genre of grindhouse
310
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:04.440
films is it's stuff that played at drive ins and
311
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.080
you know, stuff that was made on the cheap to
312
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:11.519
make money, and nobody would review them except like Joe
313
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.559
Bob Briggs was starting to review them originally, right, and
314
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:17.919
you know, throughout the years then became like kind of
315
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.279
a cult phenomenon within movies. So yeah, it's kind of
316
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.440
a rite of passage when you first get into like
317
00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:27.600
you know, like your Samurai cop or you know, any
318
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:30.080
kind of shit like that that you discover early on
319
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:32.679
You're like, yeah, this is cheesy, but it's fun. Yes,
320
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:36.600
So I could see Machete resonating with you at that age,
321
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:37.679
because that's kind of your.
322
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:38.159
Version of it.
323
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:41.840
Almost absolutely. Yeah, there were like these movies were kind
324
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:43.279
of dying off. There wasn't a lot of them.
325
00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:43.440
You know.
326
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.279
I was in college in like twenty fifteen or something
327
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:47.440
like that, so the movie had been out for a
328
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:49.840
little bit. So like This and Machette Kills were just
329
00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:53.080
like fun double feature type things just were like, crowd
330
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:53.840
please everybody.
331
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:56.480
I'm still waiting for the third one. Oh dude, I
332
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:58.320
hope that they make it still, because there's a trailer
333
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:02.080
for Machete Goes to Space or whatever.
334
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:03.039
At the end of the second one.
335
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:06.480
It's awesome, so and it's just the trailer is fantastic.
336
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:08.880
So yeah, yeah, you and me are both waiting for
337
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:09.119
that one.
338
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:12.319
Then totally. I mean, look, he's Danny Treyo could do it.
339
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:15.759
He's about the same age as Harrison Ford was when
340
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.680
they made the last Indiana Jones. So just get Danny
341
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:20.920
Treo and put him in front of some green screens
342
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:23.000
and have him do some Danny Treo shit.
343
00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:26.680
Yeah right, that writes itself right there, pretty much cut
344
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:29.920
the check right yet, Yeah, yep, yep, so awesome.
345
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:31.039
What's your familiarity with it?
346
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:31.640
Uh?
347
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:33.640
I mean I was pretty much there from day one
348
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:38.039
because just being a Rodriguez fan up to that point
349
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:40.279
and then finding out that he was doing a double
350
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:44.400
feature with Tarantino and it was called Grindhouse, Like, oh shit,
351
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:46.640
this is gonna be great because this this came out
352
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:50.079
like right when people were sort of rediscovering those movies again,
353
00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:52.799
and so they were kind of just again if you
354
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:54.720
were if you were a fan, you were kind of
355
00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:55.160
into them.
356
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:58.240
So what made people rediscover movies like that? If you
357
00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:00.440
don't mind the side quest, I.
358
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:02.599
Mean, I think it's a combination of things.
359
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:07.279
But also there's just so many films out there that are,
360
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:10.440
you know, either still being discovered or being like.
361
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:14.279
Re released and you know, kind of restored and stuff
362
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:14.400
like that.
363
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:17.440
I think it's just a way to preserve a lot
364
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:20.640
of these movies that were otherwise kind of considered disposable
365
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:23.599
at the time, and there's value to be found in
366
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:27.720
them because they're very It's it's a very different era
367
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:31.480
of filmmaking when you could just make a movie for
368
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:34.480
you know, twenty thousand dollars and put some car chases.
369
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:36.759
In it, some explosions, maybe a little bit of nudity.
370
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:40.720
And violence, and you would just sell it to you know, wherever,
371
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:42.240
and then they would play it at a drive in
372
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:42.720
or whatever.
373
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:46.200
It was just just cheesy stuff that was very much
374
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:49.279
against what the major studios were doing.
375
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:52.400
I can totally see that, and I bet they probably
376
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:54.799
would have documented it all way more if they had
377
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:58.599
known legends like Quentin Tarantino were going to be so
378
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:00.720
influenced by them and talk about them years later.
379
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.400
I mean, it was just, you know, people didn't people
380
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:05.559
didn't go to the drive ins to see that stuff,
381
00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:09.079
like I mean as far as like the you know,
382
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:11.640
sort of the public so to speak, like they look
383
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:13.799
down on these kind of movies and stuff. So it
384
00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:17.279
was it was more for like the Renegades and the
385
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:21.319
Delinquents and the horror nerds, right, But that's what makes
386
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:23.480
it fun and discovering that stuff. And then especially in
387
00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:25.440
the age of the Internet where it's easy to share
388
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:28.880
clips and find copies of the films, like that's incredible.
389
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:30.960
So the fact that it's still.
390
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:31.640
Kind of being.
391
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:36.519
You know, sort of paid tribute to is a testament
392
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:39.079
to like how long it's actually survived.
393
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:41.119
All right, well that side quest was enough.
394
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.359
Two level up, So congratulations, Thank you so much, character sheet,
395
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:46.240
and now'll get back to your familiarity.
396
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:48.680
Yeah, I'll just put all my points in speech craft.
397
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:51.640
Hold on, everybody, he's got a roll stats, hold on, and.
398
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:53.039
I'm dead So dang it.
399
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:55.839
If that was first edition for sure, three health points.
400
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.160
Thank you so much. So anyway, Yeah, so that's my
401
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:00.759
history with it.
402
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:01.240
Day one.
403
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:05.759
Loved it, still love it, so yeah, let's go watch it.
404
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:08.000
Hell yeah, dude, all right, let's do it cool.
405
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:09.039
Be back in a bit.
406
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:20.200
And welcome back. Just finished Machete. That was an experience,
407
00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:21.079
Oh totally.
408
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:23.880
So you'd seen it before, but you were much much
409
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:24.559
younger then.
410
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:27.480
Yeah, And I was like hosting a party for everybody,
411
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:29.799
so I was more or less like it was background
412
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:31.319
and I was making sure everyone's having a good time.
413
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:33.000
So I didn't really get to like give it the
414
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:34.640
attention it deserves, right, Right.
415
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:37.720
So this movie was made in twenty ten. We're recording
416
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:40.319
this in twenty twenty six. So how does this hit
417
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:40.559
for you?
418
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.039
I'm assuming it's been a while since you've seen it. Yes,
419
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.519
it was like a guestimation outs.
420
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:50.720
I probably around like twenty fifteen whenever I watched it,
421
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:55.359
maybe like twenty fourteen at the earliest. But yeah, it
422
00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:00.599
HiT's crazy different. Like I remember mostly just like the
423
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:02.480
over the top action bits. I don't really remember a
424
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:04.720
whole lot of like the plot or like especially any
425
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:08.279
like the political undertones going on. Oh my gosh, dude,
426
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:11.319
it is I don't know, kind of harrowing to see,
427
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.440
like this was what like a fuck absolutely ridiculous movie.
428
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:19.000
Villain was like in twenty ten, and then we've just
429
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:21.359
like not very much time later, has just we've walked
430
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:22.680
through this dystopian hellscape.
431
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:25.319
Yeah, I'll get into it. Well.
432
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:28.119
And that's the thing like when I so after you
433
00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:30.279
did after you pick Spy Kids, and I was trying
434
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:31.720
to think what the next movie was I was going
435
00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:35.480
to do, and I was like, well, the obvious choice
436
00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:37.079
is obviously Machete.
437
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:39.920
Yeah, let's go with Akham on this because you.
438
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:41.000
Know, it's Danny Trejo.
439
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:43.000
It's the same character, even though they say it's not,
440
00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:46.680
but you know, headcanon, like if it if it really
441
00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:48.480
was the same character, of course he's going to say
442
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:49.519
it's not the same character.
443
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:50.799
You know, it's the same character.
444
00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:53.119
He's well, he says, it's like the same character in
445
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:58.119
like a different universe, so like a spiritual tangential s guy.
446
00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:00.839
Like the link is there, It's just like, however you
447
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:01.880
want to find it? I guess.
448
00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:04.839
Yeah, So I wanted to do Machete eventually, so this
449
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:05.920
is the perfect time to do it.
450
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:07.440
So let's fucking do it.
451
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:10.400
I had no idea until I started watching this movie.
452
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:12.240
It's been a long time since.
453
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:14.799
I've watched it. I had no idea how it would
454
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.480
hit in twenty twenty six, and it hits completely differently.
455
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:22.160
Not only I mean, yeah, it's a grindhouse film and yeah,
456
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:26.400
but so much of the shit in this movie is
457
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:31.799
current as far as like social issues, political issues and stuff.
458
00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:32.359
We're dealing with them.
459
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:35.519
Like holy shit, Like you talk about a movie that
460
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:42.359
became completely different after release, and this is it. It's crazy.
461
00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:44.519
So yeah, but here we are.
462
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:47.160
You know, I don't think Robert Riquez was going for
463
00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:51.960
like a like a Paul Verhoven's Paul Verhoven. Sorry, I
464
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:53.920
gotta say, West gave me this twelve and a half
465
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:57.200
percent beer between your last take and where we're picking up,
466
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:00.359
So sorry if I screw up a little between the Yeah, I.
467
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:03.200
Know, we we had a like, what twelve point four
468
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:06.519
percent imperial stout. It was delicious watching the movie.
469
00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:07.640
Yeah, oh totally totally.
470
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:10.759
But yeah so if I of a mind eracer, yeah, yeah,
471
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:12.599
blaming West, but yeah, like it turned into like a
472
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:14.440
little bit of a Paul Verhoven type of movie with
473
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:15.559
like social commentary.
474
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:17.720
I don't think he meant for it to be like that,
475
00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:18.839
but oh my gosh.
476
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:20.960
The stuff that like you would think doctor Evil would
477
00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:23.440
be saying in movies what they're going for. Yeah, like
478
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:26.000
you know, over the top absurd comic bookie kind of villain,
479
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.920
Like it's it's it's real, it's literally what are its present?
480
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:33.319
It's kind of the timeline that we're in, and that's
481
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:34.160
kind of fucked up to.
482
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:35.440
Say it's insane.
483
00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:39.440
Yeah, like this is what like Simpson's mister Burns would
484
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:44.079
be doing, you know, and like it became it's wild. Yeah,
485
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:45.799
like I was not ready for any sort of like
486
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:50.200
existential crisis while watching Grindhouse movie.
487
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:53.119
Totally totally, So we'll get into that, but I wanted to,
488
00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:56.920
uh just kind of briefly run through the history of this,
489
00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:00.559
the backstory, and then we'll get to the plot and
490
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:02.039
we'll kind of discuss from there.
491
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:02.839
So yes.
492
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:06.960
So this movie was made in twenty ten, written, produced,
493
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:10.480
directed by Robert Rodriguez, and also directed by Ethan Mennick.
494
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:14.880
This film was an expansion of the fake trailer that
495
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.519
was included in Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's two thousand
496
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:21.279
and seven Grindhouse double feature Planet Terror and Death Proof
497
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:25.680
Chef's Kiss. Yeah, this was the I believe this was
498
00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:28.519
the first trailer that played during the movies and it
499
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:30.000
was like, holy shit, it's incredible.
500
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:30.720
They need to make it.
501
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:32.680
I thought you were doing that. Yeah, Like I really
502
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:35.200
like felt like I nailed it with Planet Terror. You did.
503
00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:37.400
Yeah, you were very close, very close.
504
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:41.960
So Machete continues the B movie and exploitation style of
505
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:44.920
Grindhouse and even includes some of the footage. So there's
506
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:47.240
some brief shots in the movie that they you know,
507
00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:50.359
took from the trailer upscaled, which is cool, so you
508
00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:51.000
still get those.
509
00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:53.039
I felt like there were some that I like, I
510
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:55.640
were over stylized, I want to say a little bit,
511
00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:57.279
and like, yeah, those were the.
512
00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:58.480
Ones that was yep, yep.
513
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:02.119
This film stars Any Trejo in his first lead role
514
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:03.319
as the title character.
515
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:04.880
Really yep.
516
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:09.960
Co stars Robert de Niro, Jessica Alba, Don Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez,

Steven Sagal, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, and Jeff ay So
518
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:17.400
is Steven Siegaal's first theatrical release film in eight years
519
00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:19.400
since his starring role in two thousand and two is
520
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:23.480
Half Past Dead. That's a whole other conversation. Steven Siegals
521
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:25.160
just kind of a piece of shit anyway.
522
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:28.359
But that's what I've heard, Like, yeah, just know that
523
00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:30.799
he was a big action star and fell off to
524
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:31.680
like horror.
525
00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:33.920
He's a fucking joke, Like all of his scenes were
526
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:36.720
sped up. He didn't know shit. So yeah, but that's
527
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:37.359
just my opinion.
528
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:39.400
But yeah.
529
00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:42.680
Machete was released in the United States by twentieth Century Fox.
530
00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:48.319
Robert Rodwigi admitted Robert Rodriguez his company Troublemaker Studios. Yeah, yeah, sorry,
531
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:52.440
twelve point four percent beer on September third, twenty ten.
532
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:57.000
A sequel, Machete Kills, was released on October eleventh, twenty thirteen.
533
00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:59.119
Excellent, so at.
534
00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:00.799
Least we got two movies out of it. I really
535
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:04.880
hope that they do Machete Kills again in space who.
536
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:07.039
Knows at least a trailer.
537
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:09.079
Yeah, he pulled it up after the movie wrapped and
538
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:10.759
the next show me and yeah, I agree, we definitely
539
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:11.039
need that.
540
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:15.000
It's like Star Wars Machete crossover.
541
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:17.920
The time is the time is right for it because
542
00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:21.559
Space Balls is finally getting a sequel coming out next year. Yeah,
543
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:23.599
you know that's been in development of Hell forever and ever.
544
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:26.359
So like if you're gonna do it, We're we're at
545
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:30.279
this point, we're eleven years past Force Awakens coming out,
546
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:33.759
So now it's the time is right for like sequel
547
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:38.079
to trilogy riffs and Star Wars ripoffs, right, like where
548
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:38.559
are those at?
549
00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:41.319
I felt like that scene where Matt damon Age is
550
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:43.799
like one thousand towers in like seven second when you
551
00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:45.279
said Force Awakens, was that old?
552
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:47.680
Yeah, yep, yeah, so that would be excellent.
553
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:50.480
Like you mentioned this as well, like Freaking json X
554
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:52.920
and leprechaon like they yeah, they would go to space.
555
00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:56.000
Franchise went into space, well at least most of them,
556
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:00.200
but you know, yeah, that's just what you did when
557
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:02.039
you made multiple sequels.
558
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:03.839
So I need it. Yeah.
559
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:10.680
So anyway, Machete opens along a road along through the
560
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:13.960
Mexican Mesa have a car driving down the road occupied
561
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:18.480
by two federales, Machete Cortes played by Danny Treo and
562
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:20.079
his partner Vic Trevino.
563
00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:22.559
By the way, Cortes is the same last name as
564
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:25.240
the Spike It's family. You'll check out our last episode
565
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:26.200
if you're curious.
566
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:28.880
About you know, they say it's not the same character.
567
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:32.440
Like again, you know, as a viewer, like you're going
568
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:34.960
to form your own opinions when you're watching movies, so like, yeah,
569
00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:37.759
canon explanation is fine, but whatever you're taken in is
570
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.079
like whatever works for you. So, yeah, it's not the
571
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:43.119
same character, but it could be the same character.
572
00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:43.839
Absolutely.
573
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:45.400
Let's just you know, let's just say that.
574
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:47.880
For all intents and purposes, let's say it is for
575
00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:48.839
this one exactly.
576
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:49.960
Yep.
577
00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:52.599
So they're in route to rescue a young woman held
578
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.039
captive by a ruthless drug lord named Torres played by
579
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:59.799
Steven Seagal, who was once Machete's partner in the Federal
580
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:04.119
Machette's current partner is furious at the rescue mission, saying
581
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:06.680
that the girl is probably locked up somewhere heavily drugged,
582
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:09.599
and it's just another of many dozens of kidnapped victims.
583
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:12.519
They do not need to go and rescue her Manchette
584
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:17.240
calmly asked his partner, if notice then who sick.
585
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:21.440
Yeah, that's like standard hero line. He's going into.
586
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:25.480
Somebody's got to do it, right. Yeah, So Machete's cell
587
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:29.079
phone ring, cell phone rings. His direct supervisor, the Mexican
588
00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:32.680
Federale chief, angrily orders that they stop and wait for
589
00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:35.759
backup to arrive. They're not to disobey orders and storm
590
00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:38.000
the place where the girls believe to be held alone.
591
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:41.400
Machette takes the phone and crushes it in his hand.
592
00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:45.599
It was just great, like just yeah, that's what you expect,
593
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:49.000
you know. So roaring into the small villa, the car
594
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:52.039
stops at a three story house with barred windows. Three
595
00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:55.359
men step out of the house, heavily armed Machete throws
596
00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:58.319
Machete throws the car into reverse and backs up a
597
00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:01.559
number of yards. It's part bravely tells Machete that he
598
00:29:01.720 --> 00:29:05.720
is with him, calling a boss. Machete holds up a large,
599
00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:09.240
wickedly sharp machete from which he gets his name, and
600
00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:13.880
says in English, this is the boss. That's a great line,
601
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:16.480
so bad ass. Yeah, just holding up the this.
602
00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:17.079
Is the Boss.
603
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:19.279
And I gotta say, with that cell phone scene just
604
00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:21.319
a moment ago, I like how that sets the stage
605
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:23.799
for We're already like, you know, heightened realism.
606
00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:25.400
Oh yeah, you know it.
607
00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:27.759
Look, if you went to see this movie when it
608
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:29.759
came out in twenty ten, you knew exactly what you
609
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:30.519
were going in for.
610
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:34.640
Well, look, there are some kids who pirated it around
611
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:38.920
circa twenty fourteen, you know, allegedly perhaps pirates around twenty
612
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:42.599
four fifteen yep, yep, and had no idea with like
613
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:45.240
the Grindhouse history or anything like that, and then just
614
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.480
like very much appreciated some clues.
615
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:49.680
And see I love that.
616
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:53.200
I love when a piece of media can transcend uh
617
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:58.400
generations and a completely different groups on picks up on
618
00:29:58.480 --> 00:29:59.720
it for a completely different reason.
619
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:00.279
Yeah.
620
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:03.359
I didn't really explain that very much in our intro,
621
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:04.960
but yeah, I like this movie so much as like
622
00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:07.240
literally because Danny trey Hill is in it. Like even
623
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:09.400
outside of Grindhouse or any of that legacy or anything
624
00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:11.839
like that, I think Danny Treyho himself is just so beloved.
625
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:14.200
You know, people will just watch movie that's in't and
626
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:16.880
like people my age around that time even now, you know,
627
00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:18.960
we're just like Danny trey Hills the man.
628
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:20.960
Like we love that guy. Yeah, we watched movies that
629
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:22.960
he's in, and that's absolute enough for us.
630
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:26.160
Absolutely, And from the opposite side of it, a lot
631
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:28.119
of us that grew up like watching these movies that
632
00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:31.799
he was in. You know, we're just like it was awesome.
633
00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:35.240
It was so good to see that. And I met
634
00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:38.559
him at Horror Hound in two thousand and eight. Yeah,
635
00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:42.200
and he was Danny Troy was the nicest fucking guy ever.
636
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:44.680
Like he was just he was so down to or
637
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:49.319
so cool, so appreciative. Everybody met him at the con,
638
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:52.920
like I got him to sign some stuff, and then
639
00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:57.079
that night everybody, all the celebrities, some of them would
640
00:30:57.119 --> 00:30:59.400
come down and drink in the hotel bar. Cool and
641
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:02.680
so like we'd always hanging out down there, just waiting
642
00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:04.400
to see like who would pop up or whatever, and
643
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:07.480
like here comes Danny Treyo walking in and he's got
644
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:10.079
a drink in his hand, and like everybody's coming up
645
00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:11.440
to him and they're just like, oh my.
646
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:13.759
God, Danny Dreo. He's like, hey, man, how you doing.
647
00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:16.319
You know, just like talking to every single one of them,
648
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:17.799
that's posing for photos.
649
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:19.440
It's just it was so cool.
650
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:24.039
He sounds like a serious like a serious gem in Hollywood,
651
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:25.920
you know, a lot lot of people will want to
652
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:27.559
give their fans at the time of day.
653
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:28.440
Totally, totally.
654
00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:32.119
And then recently in last few years, he h He's
655
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:34.599
spun off a couple of different things. He's got a
656
00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:39.119
trey Hose coffee business. I ordered some coffee and got
657
00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:40.759
a diner mug with his face on.
658
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:41.680
Its cool.
659
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:44.279
And then I think he's got a couple of restaurants
660
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:46.039
in La too. I think he's got some trey host
661
00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:49.960
Tacos restaurants. So if I ever get out that direction, like.
662
00:31:50.119 --> 00:31:52.759
I gotta go there, Yeah, make a stop just for that. Yeah.
663
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:53.640
So that's cool.
664
00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:55.799
There's a you know, I think I got this. This
665
00:31:56.839 --> 00:31:59.359
source is a meme that I read, so fact check
666
00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:03.599
me please on it. But I think Danny Treyo had
667
00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:06.440
like some sort of like clause in his contract saying
668
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:07.440
like he was a bad guy in a lot of
669
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:08.960
movies for a long time, and he was saying some
670
00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:11.240
of the effects like I'm a bad guy, like I
671
00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:12.640
need to die in my movies a lot of the
672
00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:15.839
time to like give some sort of example of you know,
673
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:17.960
the bad guy, like if you're going to be doing
674
00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:20.680
bad thing, you know, selling drugs, are you're gonna be
675
00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:22.880
you know, like you're gonna get your.
676
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:26.519
Come upp ins. Interesting, I could see that just trying
677
00:32:26.519 --> 00:32:27.960
to send a good message to the kiddos.
678
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:28.920
You know, hey, I believe it.
679
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:29.240
Yeah.
680
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:32.039
Well, and also, you know, one of his most beloved
681
00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:35.759
roles was Bubble Boy, which is a film that nobody remembers.
682
00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:38.240
But I think Robin Williams movie.
683
00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:40.039
Isn't that one.
684
00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:42.119
I believe that was it?
685
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:44.319
No, it was.
686
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:48.000
This was the Jake Gyllenhall one from like two thousand
687
00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:51.720
and one. I just remember that Randy met Danny Treyo
688
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:53.680
and talked to him about Bubble Boy, and Danny Treyo
689
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:56.400
was like, oh my god, like, I can't believe you
690
00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:57.240
remember that movie.
691
00:32:58.079 --> 00:32:58.200
Thing.
692
00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:01.359
So I've that celebrities love, especially if there's some movies
693
00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:04.279
that maybe they appreciated a lot or they thought was
694
00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:06.039
going to be really awesome and maybe he didn't quite
695
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:07.960
make the rounds like in the audience reception.
696
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:10.079
I bet things like that happen a lot, and they
697
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:11.880
really love whenever it resonates with a few people.
698
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:14.240
Oh absolutely, But I Uh.
699
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:18.079
This is from a Reddit post from today I learned,
700
00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:21.440
you know, a year ago, so it's semi creditible. I
701
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:23.960
would say, you know, make it like this many like
702
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:26.240
get this many up votes on Reddit. But it says,
703
00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:30.279
uh that shoot, of course, the uh, the thing wants
704
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:33.039
to do an ad right here, But it says Danny
705
00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:35.279
trey Hoo has a clause in his movie contracts that
706
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:38.359
requires his villainous characters to die by the end of
707
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:41.319
the film. He wants children to learn that crime doesn't
708
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:44.400
pay love it. Danny Treyhill's the man, he really is.
709
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:48.799
Yeah, and I again, it's twenty twenty six, and I
710
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:51.440
can only say, like the world needs Danny treyholl more
711
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:51.799
than ever.
712
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:55.519
Yes, So he's like Keanu Reeves, you know, he's in
713
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:56.480
that upper echelon of.
714
00:33:56.480 --> 00:33:59.440
Cool celebrities, you know kind of yeah, like just I
715
00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:02.160
don't know, I'd grab a beer with that guy, for sure.
716
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:07.480
Totally, yeah, exactly. Well that's what his partner's doing right now.
717
00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:11.559
As Machete propels his car forward, racing straight into the
718
00:34:11.599 --> 00:34:13.280
house and a bunch of men in front of it,
719
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:17.079
they open fires the car rowers toward them. Machete's partner
720
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:19.760
firing back through the windshield. The partner's hit by a
721
00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:22.960
hail of gunfire shortly before the car plows through their line.
722
00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:24.039
I don't plot armor.
723
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:27.519
Yeah yeah, plot armor is only good for the main character. Sorry.
724
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:29.519
Yeah yeah.
725
00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:32.440
The Machete leaps away as the car crashes through the
726
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:35.360
front of the house. Matchette apologizes to his partner, who
727
00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:38.559
lays dead beside him. Price you pay for being Machete's
728
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:39.519
partner for real.
729
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:43.400
Yeah, you're in the line of fire, oh pretty much
730
00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:45.719
if you're near Machete, Yeah, you're in danger.
731
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:46.079
Yeah.
732
00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:47.840
So he charges into the house.
733
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:52.119
Machete foils an ambush, slicing off the hand of an
734
00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:53.559
assailant pointing a gun at him.
735
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:54.960
And this is the best part.
736
00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:57.360
Like he catches the gun with the severed hands still
737
00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:01.239
holding onto it, you know, just hiring it, slaughtering all
738
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:04.320
these guys with the gun and the machete, and then
739
00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:07.760
like all four of the guys come up surround him
740
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:09.679
like out of the doors, and he just like does
741
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:12.920
the spin attack and cuts all their heads off at once.
742
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:16.400
The roadhouse, roundhouse. Goddamn Machette.
743
00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:19.400
Like the Zelda move where you charge up the sword,
744
00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:22.920
you just go y yeah, yeah, brilliant just cuts her
745
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:28.280
heads off. Yeah, uh so that's pretty great, and then
746
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:31.199
smashes into the room with the kidnap victim. She's laying
747
00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:34.519
naked on the bed and he's like, you gotta get dressed.
748
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:36.639
She's like, oh no, whatever. So he just picks her
749
00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:38.920
up and just carries her out of the room and
750
00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:41.239
she's all about it. Are you just happy to see me?
751
00:35:41.639 --> 00:35:44.280
Or is that a Matchette? Right? Yeah?
752
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:49.800
But then as uh more of Torres's men start to
753
00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:52.760
enter the house, Matchete puts the girl down. She starts,
754
00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:56.639
you know, feeling around and like, uh sees a tattoo
755
00:35:56.800 --> 00:35:58.000
of her of you know somebody.
756
00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:01.400
She's like, that looks like me. She sees the machete,
757
00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:03.280
She's like, is it sharp? He's like yeah.
758
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:06.119
So she pulls out and like stabs him in the thigh,
759
00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:10.039
knocks him down, and kicks him in the face. And
760
00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:13.840
he's laying there and she pulls a pulls a cell
761
00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:14.480
phone out.
762
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:18.599
Of somewhere, her prison wallet, if you will, Yeah.
763
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:22.400
A prison wallet, cell phone. She's like, I got him.
764
00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:29.239
It's like a double crossed damn yeah, bitches man. So,
765
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:32.960
to Machete's horror, the federal chief walks in, telling him
766
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:36.280
he should have stood down like he was ordered shut
767
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:40.639
a superiors working for Torres. Torres walks in accompanied by
768
00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:43.920
his Uh. I don't know second in command. I guess
769
00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:44.639
you could say.
770
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:46.280
Who.
771
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:47.960
I don't know if she ever has a name. I
772
00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:51.480
don't think she does. She just looks like the like
773
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:53.920
the henchwoman second in command?
774
00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:56.559
Is that the like the Asian lady? Yeah? Yeah, I
775
00:36:56.920 --> 00:36:58.119
don't think she is given a name.
776
00:36:58.199 --> 00:36:58.320
Huh.
777
00:36:58.559 --> 00:36:59.960
And she doesn't does she speak at all?
778
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:02.760
No, she doesn't even get like an action scene.
779
00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:03.039
Really.
780
00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:06.559
Usually the person gets one kind of action scene at
781
00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:07.519
least like a fight scene.
782
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:08.480
But I don't think she has one.
783
00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:11.440
Yeah, exactly, some like ceremonious death scene where they're like
784
00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:13.119
or capable.
785
00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:15.960
But where she fights like a second in command of
786
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:18.559
the good guys. Yeah, no, I don't think she has that.
787
00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:21.639
There's a side quest like you know this, Yeah, the
788
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:26.480
unconfident you know side character has to like overcome their
789
00:37:26.519 --> 00:37:27.719
own personal.
790
00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:30.199
Well, it's like in like uh, like Last Jedi, you
791
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:34.000
have like Captain FAsMA and Finn fighting. You know, you
792
00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:36.239
put the side characters. You give the side characters a
793
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:39.199
fight that you can like cut away from during like
794
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:40.480
the main story exactly.
795
00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:43.719
Yeah, yeah, but nope, she just looked menacing. She's just
796
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:45.079
like mean mugged the whole time.
797
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:45.719
Pretty much.
798
00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:50.280
Yeah so uh yeah, so she rewards the naked chick
799
00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:52.639
for her work in capturing Machete by shooting her through
800
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:57.119
the head. Taurus is disappointed that Machete is the only
801
00:37:57.280 --> 00:37:59.719
one of the federalies who doesn't take the bribe money
802
00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:02.960
to look the other way while he's doing his shady shit.
803
00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:08.480
Everybody else is doing it, you know. Uh so Torres
804
00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:12.599
then brings out Matchette's wife. Of course, we know where
805
00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:13.159
this is going.
806
00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:13.880
Uh.
807
00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:17.880
Machete's machetes horrified as his wife is basically brought in
808
00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:20.039
and decapitated right in front of.
809
00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:24.639
Him, sending a message there, yeah, playball or else the
810
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:25.480
people you love?
811
00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:27.239
Yeah, yep, yep.
812
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:32.920
And then uh, Tour's like, uh, oh, your daughter's in
813
00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:36.000
school right now, right, He's like, no, she's not, So
814
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:39.039
she's already He's I guess he kind of infers that
815
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:41.239
she's already been killed, Like we don't.
816
00:38:41.079 --> 00:38:44.199
See it or hear of it, but it's pretty much assumed,
817
00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:44.880
so right.
818
00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:48.440
So uh and then he's got his He's got the
819
00:38:48.519 --> 00:38:51.360
Katana at Machette's neck and he's like, you know, so
820
00:38:51.800 --> 00:38:53.840
if I behead you, that would be an honorable death.
821
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:57.079
But an honorable death is exactly what he doesn't want
822
00:38:57.159 --> 00:38:59.960
for Machete, So he has his men kick him down
823
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:01.440
and set the house on fire.
824
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:06.119
Leaving him to burn, and then we get the opening credits. Yeah,
825
00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:06.960
and I like that.
826
00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:09.840
It's more of a kind of fill in the gap
827
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:12.880
type of thing there, like you know, he somehow survived.
828
00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:18.880
And like kind of like made it survived. Yeah right, yeah, yeah,
829
00:39:18.920 --> 00:39:22.159
but you know that he has like all the fuel
830
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:24.599
he needs to get his revenge. Oh yeah, yeah.
831
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:27.760
I mean and again true grindhouse style, right, like you
832
00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:31.960
have like the brutal beating and the attacking of the
833
00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:35.039
main character. You take everything away from him and they
834
00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:36.079
just leave him for dead.
835
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:40.239
But he's not dead. He's coming back, and he's pissed off.
836
00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:43.079
That's where you fed up chief, pretty much?
837
00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:46.039
Yeah, pretty much. So we cut to a small day
838
00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:48.039
labor site in Texas. Three years later.
839
00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:52.960
Mexican day laborers are gathered here hiring out performing tasks
840
00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:54.880
that will earn them and their loved ones. A living
841
00:39:56.079 --> 00:40:00.639
radio program is heard playing. The host is interviewing the Jones,
842
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:04.800
Deputy Director of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE Office,
843
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:09.320
SO Jonas, is discussing the ongoing effort to enforce US
844
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:13.119
border security against illegal immigration. Jonah says that battling the
845
00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:15.639
stem of illegal immigration is difficult because of the long
846
00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:18.719
border between Texas and Mexico. He says they need to
847
00:40:18.760 --> 00:40:22.079
dismantle a large, elaborate support network that helps immigrants across
848
00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:25.199
the border and settle into America, finding them jobs, resulting
849
00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:29.559
in American citizens being unemployed and poor. Jonah says ICE's
850
00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:32.119
best agents are investigating the network in an effort to
851
00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:35.840
dismantle it. So this is the part that started to
852
00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:37.840
hit different in twenty twenty six right here.
853
00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:41.920
Absolutely, and it's a slightly dated they they say, IC.
854
00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:46.039
Sure, and I think that was like, oh okay, well
855
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:49.440
I think that's like slightly just dials the clock back
856
00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:50.360
just a few years.
857
00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:54.719
Yeah. Yeah, before it was such like a commonplace, right thing.
858
00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:55.239
Yeah.
859
00:40:55.880 --> 00:40:57.679
But it also it goes to show too though, like
860
00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:02.119
I mean, these were ongoing things that we were talking
861
00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:03.280
about for a long long time.
862
00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:07.159
But then you know, now where we're at in this
863
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:08.239
day and age, you're like.
864
00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:12.239
Oh shit, Like, yes, is this the point where he
865
00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:16.400
mentions like like his actual like kind of specific political
866
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:18.920
endeavors where he wants like the wall and such.
867
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:20.400
I think that's just a bit later.
868
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:22.599
Okay, I want to I don't want to jump the
869
00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:23.000
gun on that.
870
00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:23.440
Yeah.
871
00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:26.079
No, this is just we're just at this point we're
872
00:41:26.119 --> 00:41:30.000
introduced to like we're just being this. The stage is
873
00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:30.480
being set.
874
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:33.920
Yeah, this is Robert de Niro's like ad isn't it.
875
00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:37.159
Uh not quite, but it's pretty close. Yeah all right,
876
00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:39.360
Yeah this is like on the radio interview. But yeah,
877
00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:43.280
carry yeah, uh it's it, but it's setting the stage
878
00:41:43.400 --> 00:41:46.480
for uh, this is the background of where we're at.
879
00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:48.599
And at this point the movie was made in twenty ten.
880
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:52.559
If you go back and kind of look at like
881
00:41:53.079 --> 00:41:58.079
historically ever since like nine to eleven, there was a
882
00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:02.599
lot of anti immigrant stuff that kind of like you know,
883
00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:05.559
that was the topic, right, and so like it kind
884
00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:08.840
of you look at movies like Borat and Machete and
885
00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:12.800
stuff like that that we're specifically tackling those kind of issues, right,
886
00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:16.599
mm hmm. Like Borat, for one, there's no way that
887
00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:19.800
movie couldn't have existed in any other time outside of
888
00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:22.639
the point in which it does, because so many people
889
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:25.639
thought that, like he was a real person, right.
890
00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:28.199
That was that was the sentiment at the time.
891
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:31.679
I think I was in like seventh grade or you know,
892
00:42:31.800 --> 00:42:33.840
sixth or eighth or something like that. I still remember
893
00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:36.159
being in like you know that middle school era. Yeah,
894
00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:38.960
when Bori came out and I dead ass thought he
895
00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:42.119
was a real guy. Like it took me years to
896
00:42:42.159 --> 00:42:44.679
figure out, Like the dude from Talladega Nights was Borat.
897
00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:47.800
It's just like the dude from Sweeney Todd. It's like, yeah,
898
00:42:48.000 --> 00:42:52.920
what's Bora? Yeah, Like I still remember that like mind
899
00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:53.679
blowing moment.
900
00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:56.440
Right, But look at like you said too. Before we
901
00:42:56.559 --> 00:42:58.440
were recording, we were talking about south Park.
902
00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:00.559
To her.
903
00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:04.559
Yeah, same ship, right, That's that was the That was
904
00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:06.800
the the cultural discussion at the time.
905
00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:09.440
Right, Literally, like that freaking took her jobs thing is
906
00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:11.719
like a sound bite in my brain today, Like every
907
00:43:11.760 --> 00:43:14.239
time there's any sort of like mention of that, I
908
00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:16.239
cannot think of, Like I can't help but think about
909
00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:17.239
South Park ripping on that.
910
00:43:17.480 --> 00:43:19.440
Yeah, yeah, super poignant.
911
00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:20.119
Oh totally.
912
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:21.400
So.
913
00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:25.320
As this radio program is playing, we meet agent Sartana
914
00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:29.679
Rivera played by Jessica Alba. She's doing some surveillance taking
915
00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:36.840
photos at a Tacos truck coffee stand run by a
916
00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:39.599
woman named Luce played by Michelle Rodriguez.
917
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:43.039
Yeah, and there's some fellows getting picked up, kind of
918
00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:46.480
like you know where you might your hardware store. People
919
00:43:46.519 --> 00:43:48.960
are just getting rounded up for some some day jobs
920
00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:49.360
here there.
921
00:43:49.599 --> 00:43:50.599
Yep, yep.
922
00:43:51.320 --> 00:43:56.760
Sartana Tartana suspects Loose as the network's kingpin code named
923
00:43:56.800 --> 00:44:01.360
she we see an elderly text and hiring some day laborers,
924
00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:02.599
having him load up.
925
00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:03.320
His pickup truck.
926
00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:07.079
Sartana pauses at the side of a face she finds interesting,
927
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:09.800
a tall, muscular Mexican man with scars and tattoos.
928
00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:14.480
It is Machette. M yeah, it is so taking photographs.
929
00:44:14.559 --> 00:44:17.119
She speaks into her personal recorder saying that she knows
930
00:44:17.199 --> 00:44:19.679
he's new to the labor site and requests that Matchete's
931
00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:23.880
photo be run for possible criminal background. She watches Loose
932
00:44:23.960 --> 00:44:27.840
call Machete over day labor knocks on Tartana's window, asking
933
00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:30.280
him she needs a gardener. She shows them her badge
934
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:31.199
and he hurries off.
935
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:32.440
Yep.
936
00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:36.960
So she is like a no nonsense kind of sticking
937
00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:39.199
to her job over here. Right now, She's on task.
938
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:42.239
Yeah, and it's interesting too.
939
00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:45.920
Again, like when this movie came out, like it wasn't
940
00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:49.440
as I mean, it was still in the public eye
941
00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:52.440
I suppose, but like in twenty twenty six, I feel
942
00:44:52.440 --> 00:44:56.000
like if you made one of the main characters a
943
00:44:56.360 --> 00:44:57.960
somewhat sympathetic ice.
944
00:44:57.840 --> 00:45:00.360
Agent, I think that would be really difficult.
945
00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:03.079
As no audience would ever buy that. Right.
946
00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:07.719
That just shows the disparity between twenty ten and twenty
947
00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:11.440
twenty six, right, Like as far as because you know
948
00:45:11.559 --> 00:45:13.440
later on she says in the movie, she's like, you know,
949
00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:14.920
there's the law and there's what's right.
950
00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:19.800
So yeah, that's a big theme throughout the movie.
951
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:23.239
It's just like there's, yeah, the spirit of like, yeah,
952
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:25.079
we want to keep this place safe, but you know
953
00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:26.079
at what costs?
954
00:45:26.079 --> 00:45:28.119
Who, like, what lives are being affected along? Yeah?
955
00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:32.679
Yeah, So we cut to nighttime across the US Mexico border.
956
00:45:33.320 --> 00:45:35.400
A van is driving a group of immigrants to a
957
00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:38.119
spot to shy of the border, ordering them, ordering them
958
00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:39.599
out to go the rest of the way on foot.
959
00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:42.800
A young man begs for assistance for his wife, who
960
00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:45.559
is both heavily pregnant and ill, but it only gets
961
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:48.440
a gunpoint in his face. By the unsympathetic driver. The
962
00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:51.960
immigrants all start to rush through the border. A jeep
963
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:55.440
rushes to intercept the immigrants, its driver and passengers, whooping
964
00:45:55.480 --> 00:45:59.360
and calling round up time a coldly slaughter several of
965
00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:03.519
the immigrants, says. The others rushback further into Mexico. Out
966
00:46:03.559 --> 00:46:08.079
of the van steps Von Jackson played by Don Johnson Miami,
967
00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:11.239
Vice Fame and Planet Terror and many other things.
968
00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:14.400
Is that the dude with the little striking eyes?
969
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:20.199
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's a playing a wealthy Texan landowner
970
00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:24.280
who despises illegal immigrants. The husband of the pregnant woman
971
00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:26.519
is wounded and she cannot run in her current state.
972
00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:30.360
Terrified woman watches as Vaughn approaches her. She doesn't speak
973
00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:33.559
English and he doesn't speak Spanish. He by choice, as
974
00:46:33.639 --> 00:46:36.679
he says. A cameraman in the jeep takes footage as
975
00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:38.480
Von tells the woman and her husband that they are
976
00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:42.119
trespassing on land belonging to Vn's father. Von then pulls
977
00:46:42.159 --> 00:46:44.320
his gun and shoots the woman in the stomach, mortally
978
00:46:44.320 --> 00:46:48.519
wounding her and her unborn child. More squeamish of the
979
00:46:48.559 --> 00:46:51.519
henchmen and cannot stand the sight, but VN is unsympathetic,
980
00:46:52.079 --> 00:46:54.719
warning it if the woman delivered her baby on American soil,
981
00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:57.920
it would be entitled to American citizenship and all its benefits.
982
00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:01.280
He tells his men that many people consider them vigilantes,
983
00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:05.159
but he sees it as vigilance. He then asks who's
984
00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:09.559
gonna stop him Senator the man Vaughn, addressed as Senator
985
00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:13.639
Robert de Niro, says I am, and guns down the
986
00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:17.320
woman's husband with a rifle, coldly saying welcome to America.
987
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:20.280
He then make sure that the video footage was captured
988
00:47:20.360 --> 00:47:24.559
for the benefit of his wealthier supporters. Yikes, this is
989
00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:28.360
the shit that hits really hard. Yeah, Like rewatching this today.
990
00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:31.639
Honestly, like even as far as like freaking doctor evil
991
00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:34.559
levels of satirical evil goes. Yeah, it's like I think
992
00:47:34.599 --> 00:47:37.760
that's what they were going for, but times have changed
993
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:40.920
so much that this has just become like tragically freaking
994
00:47:41.599 --> 00:47:42.280
sad to watch.
995
00:47:42.519 --> 00:47:46.599
Yeah, I mean it's yeah, I don't even know, like
996
00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:47.280
we're just.
997
00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:51.360
I don't even know how to even get into it,
998
00:47:51.480 --> 00:47:55.920
but it's I did not expect like to have these
999
00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:56.719
kind of feelings.
1000
00:47:56.800 --> 00:47:58.599
Rewatching a grindhouse film.
1001
00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:00.960
Yeah, I wish I was more desense to it. No,
1002
00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:04.440
not really. I wish it wasn't so I think tragic,
1003
00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:05.039
But I think.
1004
00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:08.880
Too, I think it shows the as far as the
1005
00:48:09.559 --> 00:48:13.599
talent of Rodriguez and company and making the movie, because
1006
00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:19.599
they could have just done a cheesy grindhouse revenge film, right,
1007
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:21.760
and it would have been it would have been fun,
1008
00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:25.840
it would have been okay. But underneath all that, there's
1009
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:29.320
a really good story here of you know, like I
1010
00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:32.840
said earlier, about like what's right and like doing helping
1011
00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:35.800
people and doing what's right versus like what the law
1012
00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:38.960
says and hiding behind that kind of shitm hm. So
1013
00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:43.360
I don't know, it's just it's crazy though. Yeah, it's
1014
00:48:43.400 --> 00:48:46.159
crazy to think like where we're at at this day
1015
00:48:46.159 --> 00:48:46.519
and age.
1016
00:48:47.079 --> 00:48:50.440
Yeah, I have not kept out of the politics very
1017
00:48:50.559 --> 00:48:53.119
much throughout my life, except like in the last couple
1018
00:48:53.119 --> 00:48:54.920
of years. Like it's really hard to avoid it at
1019
00:48:54.960 --> 00:48:59.480
this point, so I guess being more politically informed than
1020
00:48:59.519 --> 00:49:00.199
I ever have been.
1021
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:03.559
It's really crazy to see these things, like with all
1022
00:49:03.599 --> 00:49:06.400
the political unrest we're and like as we're recording right now,
1023
00:49:06.480 --> 00:49:08.599
I RAN's a big thing, and Ice has been you know,
1024
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:12.159
just striking out left right and center right, so yeah,
1025
00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:16.480
it's it's this movie is definitely way more emotional than
1026
00:49:16.519 --> 00:49:18.559
it should be. I feel otherwise. It's weird.
1027
00:49:18.679 --> 00:49:22.000
Yeah, because right after this and we cut to the
1028
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:25.280
uh the first of like I think there's two, two
1029
00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:30.480
or three of like the the propaganda television commercials, the
1030
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:31.360
you know, it's like.
1031
00:49:31.719 --> 00:49:33.599
So I said the Paul Verhoven's while we were watching,
1032
00:49:33.719 --> 00:49:35.599
I was like, let's feel a little opening right here.
1033
00:49:35.719 --> 00:49:39.599
Yeah, commercials, the propaganda like Fox News style political ads,
1034
00:49:39.679 --> 00:49:44.559
right and it's like, uh re elect Senator John mcgloughlin.
1035
00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:49.440
You know, it's like he despises ilegal immigration. It's making
1036
00:49:49.480 --> 00:49:53.039
sure it's fought fiercely. And then they're like the commercial
1037
00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:57.480
is like comparing immigrants to parasites and shoes. Yeah, and
1038
00:49:57.480 --> 00:50:00.000
they're showing like, you know, footage of bugs and stuff
1039
00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:02.519
like that. But like all that shit is like that
1040
00:50:02.639 --> 00:50:06.119
shit's real, that shit happens, right, making people believe that
1041
00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:07.079
shit one hundred percent?
1042
00:50:07.320 --> 00:50:10.920
Now is this where they mentioned the wall? Uh believe?
1043
00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:14.360
So yeah, yeah, because yeah he shows uh mcgloffin supports
1044
00:50:14.400 --> 00:50:18.719
building an electrified border fence, and uh yeah, the commercial
1045
00:50:18.880 --> 00:50:25.079
propaganda uh shows pictures of u uh maggots and cockroaches
1046
00:50:25.159 --> 00:50:29.039
whenever the narrator in the commercial speaks of the invaders. Dude,
1047
00:50:29.119 --> 00:50:31.800
but that's the shit that drums people up and you know,
1048
00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:34.679
gets them involved in like this crazy stuff.
1049
00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:37.519
I mean, I don't want to put my foot in
1050
00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:39.719
my mouth here because I'm not like the most politically informed,
1051
00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:42.440
but like, I feel like that is the biggest selling
1052
00:50:42.480 --> 00:50:44.800
point of which Trump got relected the first time is
1053
00:50:44.920 --> 00:50:49.119
basically that message right there, which was absolutely satirical to
1054
00:50:49.199 --> 00:50:50.360
the max in twenty ten.
1055
00:50:50.599 --> 00:50:54.000
Yep. But then Trump goes on about like immigration and
1056
00:50:54.119 --> 00:50:57.199
building the wall for you know, a couple of years platforming,
1057
00:50:57.239 --> 00:50:59.679
and then he gets elected on it, you.
1058
00:50:59.760 --> 00:51:03.000
Know, and people say, like, you know, idiocracy has come true,
1059
00:51:03.559 --> 00:51:04.559
and yeah, that's true.
1060
00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:05.880
We're on that timeline.
1061
00:51:06.159 --> 00:51:09.920
Machete is kind of coming true. But the world needs machete.
1062
00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:11.960
So where is he please?
1063
00:51:12.440 --> 00:51:12.639
Yeah?
1064
00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:17.280
So like just when the world needed him most, he disappeared,
1065
00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:20.440
like the Avatar intro. Yeah, and when the world needed
1066
00:51:20.480 --> 00:51:26.239
him most, he disappeared, Yeah, going into the ice Avatar style.
1067
00:51:26.480 --> 00:51:31.199
Right, So we cut back to daytime, an illegal back alley,
1068
00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:34.559
bare knuckle fights taking place. Bets are being placed as
1069
00:51:34.639 --> 00:51:37.920
one fighter defeats another, victorious fighter points at a passer
1070
00:51:38.000 --> 00:51:41.039
by he sees, whom he considers a worthy appoint opponent.
1071
00:51:42.400 --> 00:51:45.159
The fight promoter calls out to the man it is machete.
1072
00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:48.320
Machete bulks at being invited to a fight, looking at
1073
00:51:48.360 --> 00:51:51.679
the taco and coffee he's holding, but the promoter bates
1074
00:51:51.719 --> 00:51:53.920
him in by offering five hundred dollars for five minutes
1075
00:51:53.960 --> 00:51:57.159
in the alley. It's all right, yeah, I go for it.
1076
00:51:57.440 --> 00:52:01.119
You're locked in here with me, right, So he walks
1077
00:52:01.159 --> 00:52:01.760
into the circle.
1078
00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:03.639
He puts down his coffee, but he keeps the taco
1079
00:52:03.719 --> 00:52:06.760
in his hand. Right, He's dodging punches left and right,
1080
00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:08.639
making this guy look super clumsy.
1081
00:52:09.039 --> 00:52:10.760
He's even taking bites of the tacos.
1082
00:52:10.800 --> 00:52:14.480
He's like just invading every single move right, another day
1083
00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:15.599
in the office, yep.
1084
00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:19.199
Not throwing any counter punches or anything. Finally, this guy
1085
00:52:19.519 --> 00:52:21.760
misses another punch but hits his hand on a solid
1086
00:52:21.800 --> 00:52:24.480
metal beam, breaking his hand, which I say wins the
1087
00:52:24.519 --> 00:52:26.199
fight by default and it's paid the money. As he
1088
00:52:26.559 --> 00:52:27.880
picks up his coffee.
1089
00:52:28.079 --> 00:52:31.400
Dude's hand explodes. Yeah I feel that playing does cough anyways?
1090
00:52:31.800 --> 00:52:35.360
Yeah yeah, So at this point, then a luxury car
1091
00:52:35.719 --> 00:52:38.400
with tinted windows pulls up and windows rolled down. We
1092
00:52:38.440 --> 00:52:42.719
see its driver played by Jeff Fayhee, watching the fight intently.
1093
00:52:43.480 --> 00:52:46.559
So Jeff Fayhee, he's one of those guys that he's
1094
00:52:46.599 --> 00:52:48.320
done a ton of stuff. He was in Planet Terror
1095
00:52:49.360 --> 00:52:52.920
as well. He's done some stuff with Robert Rodriguez before.
1096
00:52:54.559 --> 00:52:57.400
For some of us older fans, you probably know him
1097
00:52:57.480 --> 00:53:00.760
as the lawnmower man from the movie.
1098
00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:03.280
The lawn Man. Yeah. I've never seen the movie, but
1099
00:53:03.360 --> 00:53:06.400
I know of the movie called The Lawnmower many he
1100
00:53:06.679 --> 00:53:09.320
plays the lawnmarwer man. He was unlost for a couple
1101
00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:09.719
of years.
1102
00:53:10.719 --> 00:53:16.440
But who was he in Lost? He was Captain Frank Lapitis.
1103
00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:20.599
Lapitis doesn't ring a bell?
1104
00:53:20.719 --> 00:53:22.000
Is he like one of the original crew?
1105
00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:22.440
Is he like it?
1106
00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:25.199
Like? I think he's a little bit later on all right,
1107
00:53:25.360 --> 00:53:27.239
I don't remember for sure, but I remember like the
1108
00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:29.480
early season as well, but not like whenever they started
1109
00:53:29.519 --> 00:53:30.159
like time traveling.
1110
00:53:30.199 --> 00:53:33.280
All yeah, that's happening. I'll put this later.
1111
00:53:33.559 --> 00:53:35.440
I think he's later in the time traveling stuff. But
1112
00:53:36.639 --> 00:53:39.400
also he was in Planet Terror. He was in Machete
1113
00:53:39.480 --> 00:53:41.400
of course, and Alita Battle Angel.
1114
00:53:41.920 --> 00:53:43.880
I want to get around to watch that one. So yeah,
1115
00:53:45.079 --> 00:53:45.480
plays a.
1116
00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:47.880
Good villain, so good stuff.
1117
00:53:48.840 --> 00:53:51.440
So Machete goes to lose his taco stand and pays
1118
00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:53.719
their five dollars for the taco and coffee that she'd
1119
00:53:53.760 --> 00:53:58.400
given him earlier. She looks over Machete's shoulder and sees
1120
00:53:58.480 --> 00:54:04.239
Sartana approaching scal but all the day laborers, knowing Tartana
1121
00:54:04.360 --> 00:54:07.320
well scattered her approach. She goes to the standard by
1122
00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:10.920
two bean and cheese tacos and a coffee lose the
1123
00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:13.480
sarcastic and unpleasant in her reception of Tartana.
1124
00:54:14.039 --> 00:54:16.079
Two women know each other but don't like each other
1125
00:54:16.159 --> 00:54:17.119
one bit of course.
1126
00:54:17.480 --> 00:54:19.440
Yeah, you can tell they've had a number of interactions
1127
00:54:19.480 --> 00:54:20.000
at this point.
1128
00:54:20.480 --> 00:54:28.679
So Sartana occasionally wants to see lose his credentials to
1129
00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:31.119
ensure that she's still authorized to live and work near
1130
00:54:31.199 --> 00:54:34.599
the labor site, and louis thinking turn about his fair play.
1131
00:54:34.679 --> 00:54:37.360
Then I see Tartana's badge in return, So they kind
1132
00:54:37.400 --> 00:54:42.199
of argue over the morality of Tartana enforcing immigration, sending
1133
00:54:42.239 --> 00:54:43.800
people back to squalor and poverty.
1134
00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:47.519
You can tell they've had this sort of like, yeah,
1135
00:54:47.840 --> 00:54:52.119
conversation a bunch. Yeah, they aren't just like opposite ends
1136
00:54:52.159 --> 00:54:53.400
of the law right now, right.
1137
00:54:53.800 --> 00:54:57.599
But interestingly though, Sartana herself is Mexican, so loose and
1138
00:54:57.719 --> 00:54:59.960
many of the laborers see her acts as treason towards
1139
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:03.559
her own people, so that's kind of kind of an
1140
00:55:03.599 --> 00:55:05.639
interesting approach to it as well.
1141
00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:05.960
Right.
1142
00:55:06.039 --> 00:55:08.039
Yeah, she mentions like, do you feel locking up people
1143
00:55:08.239 --> 00:55:10.320
like your own kind or something to that effect.
1144
00:55:10.239 --> 00:55:10.639
Something like that.
1145
00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:14.119
Yeah, she drops a few not so subtle hints showing
1146
00:55:14.159 --> 00:55:18.000
that she suspects LuSE evading illegal immigrants loose. Finally gives
1147
00:55:18.079 --> 00:55:20.239
Artana to the Tacos, more to get rid of her
1148
00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:23.679
than anything else, of course. So then we see a
1149
00:55:23.719 --> 00:55:27.000
news bulletin reporting on a sharp decline in support for McLoughlin.
1150
00:55:27.119 --> 00:55:29.760
His hardline stance on immigration is wearing thin on several
1151
00:55:29.800 --> 00:55:33.599
of his support groups. Interesting, I can see it.
1152
00:55:34.519 --> 00:55:34.719
Yep.
1153
00:55:35.920 --> 00:55:38.519
Machete arrives back at the labor site. When the luxury
1154
00:55:38.559 --> 00:55:41.280
car pulls up and the driver whose name is Michael Booth,
1155
00:55:42.519 --> 00:55:45.360
not Michael Blooth from arrested Development but pretty.
1156
00:55:45.079 --> 00:55:47.960
Close, it tells him to get in easy mistake.
1157
00:55:48.239 --> 00:55:48.440
Yeah.
1158
00:55:49.239 --> 00:55:51.719
Machete starts to tell Booth about the labor service he
1159
00:55:51.800 --> 00:55:54.079
does and his rates for them, when Booth suddenly asks
1160
00:55:54.159 --> 00:55:57.719
him if he's ever killed anyone before brings Machete into
1161
00:55:57.800 --> 00:56:00.639
a well appointed office and pours him a drink. Slides
1162
00:56:00.679 --> 00:56:04.679
a photo folder across the desk containing a photo of McLoughlin.
1163
00:56:05.239 --> 00:56:10.800
Oh, yes, he describes the assassination. Yeah, totally, Yeah.
1164
00:56:11.079 --> 00:56:14.719
He describes McLoughlin's hard nosed policy on illegal immigrants and
1165
00:56:14.760 --> 00:56:18.000
their labor before giving Machete the pitch. Boots says that
1166
00:56:18.119 --> 00:56:20.960
the state runs on the services provided by these immigrants,
1167
00:56:21.039 --> 00:56:22.920
as their rates are cheap enough to keep the state's
1168
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:27.039
expenditures at a minimum, which it desperately needs. So Boots says,
1169
00:56:27.079 --> 00:56:30.639
since immigrants are being deported in alarmingly increasing numbers, it's
1170
00:56:30.679 --> 00:56:33.039
to both his and Machete's benefit if the Senator is
1171
00:56:33.119 --> 00:56:33.559
rupped out.
1172
00:56:34.679 --> 00:56:37.559
Can't argue with that logic. Hmm, put me in.
1173
00:56:37.639 --> 00:56:41.760
Coach, so Booth produces a briefcase filled with used bills
1174
00:56:41.760 --> 00:56:44.000
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of money, which
1175
00:56:44.039 --> 00:56:47.079
he says he will pay Machete for the job. Machete
1176
00:56:47.159 --> 00:56:49.199
downs the drink and tells him to get someone else.
1177
00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:52.400
Boots says that there's no time left to find another person.
1178
00:56:52.480 --> 00:56:55.039
The job has to happen tomorrow, and he downs the
1179
00:56:55.119 --> 00:56:56.800
drink like it's water.
1180
00:56:57.480 --> 00:57:00.400
Yeah, it doesn't flinch, nothing like straight tequila. Yeah, it
1181
00:57:00.760 --> 00:57:01.480
doesn't bother him.
1182
00:57:02.079 --> 00:57:03.119
So uh.
1183
00:57:03.800 --> 00:57:07.239
He admits that he cannot force Machete to do the assassination,
1184
00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:10.719
but he can make sure that Machete suffers an unfortunate
1185
00:57:10.840 --> 00:57:13.719
accident if he refuses. Once the job is done, he
1186
00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:15.599
gets the money and can disappear and do a lot
1187
00:57:15.639 --> 00:57:16.480
of good with the cash.
1188
00:57:16.960 --> 00:57:18.800
Yeah, and it's like one hundred and fifty two hundred
1189
00:57:18.800 --> 00:57:20.400
thousand or something like that. It's a lot of money.
1190
00:57:20.599 --> 00:57:20.800
Yeah.
1191
00:57:21.880 --> 00:57:23.519
It takes him to a room filled with a lot
1192
00:57:23.559 --> 00:57:27.760
of high tech, sophisticated firepower. This is a good scene
1193
00:57:27.760 --> 00:57:29.760
because it's kind of a nod to escape from New York.
1194
00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:33.559
In the beginning of that when they're recruiting Plisken and
1195
00:57:33.719 --> 00:57:36.320
the camera is panting over like all the weapons on
1196
00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:41.679
the table, same thing. Yeah, so Matchete, you know, he
1197
00:57:42.840 --> 00:57:45.639
picks up the machete of course, like, well, you know,
1198
00:57:45.719 --> 00:57:47.719
that's good if you want to get messy, but.
1199
00:57:47.840 --> 00:57:50.000
It's pretty old school, you know, not really effective for
1200
00:57:50.079 --> 00:57:50.559
this job.
1201
00:57:50.719 --> 00:57:50.880
Right.
1202
00:57:50.920 --> 00:57:54.159
You want see hands him like the assault rifle and
1203
00:57:54.239 --> 00:57:57.000
the cell phone in case there's any problems, and Machete
1204
00:57:57.079 --> 00:57:59.039
takes the cell phone the rifle. He takes the machete
1205
00:57:59.079 --> 00:58:01.880
of course on the way out, as you do. Yeah, yep,
1206
00:58:02.719 --> 00:58:04.360
says he needs to be at the roof at one
1207
00:58:04.440 --> 00:58:07.000
pm sharp fire the shot at one o four pm.
1208
00:58:08.199 --> 00:58:10.159
So as Machete leaves, he gets a call on his
1209
00:58:10.280 --> 00:58:13.079
cell phone. Booth gets a call on his cell phone
1210
00:58:13.519 --> 00:58:17.599
showing us from April. Quickly, he drives to a crackhouse
1211
00:58:17.679 --> 00:58:20.440
and kills everyone there, pulling out a blonde girl played
1212
00:58:20.440 --> 00:58:21.360
by Lindsay Lohan.
1213
00:58:21.599 --> 00:58:21.920
Freaking.
1214
00:58:22.159 --> 00:58:25.119
He goes full one wick on these mother. Basically, yeah,
1215
00:58:25.480 --> 00:58:27.840
he's like in the suit, hair, slick back and everything.
1216
00:58:28.000 --> 00:58:30.679
Huh yep, you have the slick back mullet going on,
1217
00:58:31.039 --> 00:58:33.559
just like boom boom boom boom. All right, grab her
1218
00:58:33.639 --> 00:58:38.079
get out surgical Yeah basically yeah. So yeah, his daughter April,
1219
00:58:38.559 --> 00:58:40.679
who is in the crackhouse. He berates her for not
1220
00:58:40.800 --> 00:58:41.519
coming to him to.
1221
00:58:41.559 --> 00:58:44.960
Get her needs met in April's played by Lindsay Lohan,
1222
00:58:45.639 --> 00:58:49.400
fitting that she was in a crackhouse. Yeah yeah, that's
1223
00:58:49.440 --> 00:58:52.599
pretty topical too. Yeah yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure that
1224
00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:54.599
was like the full rehab era you know she was
1225
00:58:54.679 --> 00:58:56.880
trying to like grapple.
1226
00:58:56.519 --> 00:59:02.199
With Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's interesting when he kind of
1227
00:59:02.239 --> 00:59:03.880
be rates her for not coming to him to get
1228
00:59:03.920 --> 00:59:07.559
her fixed earlier, as if like he probably has been
1229
00:59:07.599 --> 00:59:10.079
supplying her with drugs too, which is that's a whole
1230
00:59:10.119 --> 00:59:11.239
nother fucked up thing.
1231
00:59:11.639 --> 00:59:14.519
Yeah, they have a not so healthy dynamic and lots
1232
00:59:14.519 --> 00:59:14.840
of ways.
1233
00:59:15.199 --> 00:59:20.079
No, so she gives a a groggily gives a tossed
1234
00:59:20.119 --> 00:59:22.280
off sorry daddy as he drives her away.
1235
00:59:22.679 --> 00:59:25.920
Kind of thing. So Yike's part two, Yeah.
1236
00:59:25.800 --> 00:59:26.320
Pretty much.
1237
00:59:26.440 --> 00:59:26.480
So.
1238
00:59:27.519 --> 00:59:30.039
Matchete is sitting on a bench at the labor site
1239
00:59:30.119 --> 00:59:33.320
looking at pictures of his family during happier times. So
1240
00:59:33.920 --> 00:59:36.039
he goes to lose his taco stand, gives her the
1241
00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:38.199
money he was paid one hundred and fifty thousand in
1242
00:59:38.280 --> 00:59:39.960
the briefcase, telling her.
1243
00:59:39.960 --> 00:59:40.639
To use it. Well.
1244
00:59:41.199 --> 00:59:43.960
Machete knows that Luce is involved in the support network.
1245
00:59:44.159 --> 00:59:45.840
They helped him get across the border once.
1246
00:59:46.639 --> 00:59:49.519
Very nice. So that's interesting, honorable man. Hmm.
1247
00:59:49.639 --> 00:59:53.920
Absolutely, we got a Senator McLoughlin making a public appearance.
1248
00:59:54.159 --> 00:59:56.000
This is the site that he's supposed to be killed at.
1249
00:59:56.880 --> 00:59:59.360
Machete gets to the proper rooftop at the appointed time.
1250
00:59:59.719 --> 01:00:03.679
Mcgle often's speech is beautifully crafted propaganda, designed to work.
1251
01:00:03.519 --> 01:00:06.800
His listeners into a frenzy. Boy that sounds familiar.
1252
01:00:08.280 --> 01:00:09.960
So yeah, he.
1253
01:00:10.000 --> 01:00:12.840
Compares immigrants to terrorists who take jobs from honest, hard
1254
01:00:12.920 --> 01:00:16.199
working American citizens that bust their backsides to feed their families.
1255
01:00:16.760 --> 01:00:19.559
His propaganda speech does exactly what it's intended to do,
1256
01:00:19.760 --> 01:00:22.800
stir the passions of his listeners to tempestuous levels.
1257
01:00:24.199 --> 01:00:27.679
Again like twenty twenty six, that's all I say. Meanwhile,
1258
01:00:27.840 --> 01:00:30.639
we have four dollars a gallon. Yeah, yeah, anyway, Yeah.
1259
01:00:31.199 --> 01:00:33.800
Mat is lining up his shot on McLoughlin, centering the
1260
01:00:33.840 --> 01:00:36.039
scope on his rifle. When he happens to glance a
1261
01:00:36.079 --> 01:00:39.000
little to one side, using the scope for a better view,
1262
01:00:39.119 --> 01:00:42.800
he realizes there's a second sniper concealed on another rooftop,
1263
01:00:43.239 --> 01:00:46.679
boots Aid played by Shay Wigham.
1264
01:00:47.079 --> 01:00:48.960
Wigham, Yeah, I think.
1265
01:00:48.840 --> 01:00:49.239
So like that.
1266
01:00:49.400 --> 01:00:51.519
Got's the fella for sure, the dude that was in
1267
01:00:51.599 --> 01:00:52.400
Mission Impossible.
1268
01:00:52.559 --> 01:00:53.840
Yeah, the Mission Impossible guy.
1269
01:00:53.880 --> 01:00:56.000
He one of the actors that he looks like he
1270
01:00:56.079 --> 01:00:58.519
plays like a cop or a federal guy, or somebody
1271
01:00:58.599 --> 01:01:01.079
holding a gun a lot or a double crossing kind
1272
01:01:01.119 --> 01:01:01.400
of guy.
1273
01:01:01.880 --> 01:01:04.679
Yeah. He's played that one part like his entire career.
1274
01:01:04.920 --> 01:01:07.840
He's got the he's got the double cross eyebrow going on.
1275
01:01:08.599 --> 01:01:09.599
Wait you know what I mean?
1276
01:01:09.840 --> 01:01:12.880
Yeah, I have a double cross eyebrow going on. How
1277
01:01:12.920 --> 01:01:13.440
can you tell?
1278
01:01:14.000 --> 01:01:14.639
I can't tell you?
1279
01:01:15.360 --> 01:01:19.360
Oh shit, if you don't know, you do.
1280
01:01:19.960 --> 01:01:20.280
All right.
1281
01:01:20.280 --> 01:01:22.480
I feel like we're now in like the longest game
1282
01:01:22.559 --> 01:01:23.679
of like Clue or something.
1283
01:01:23.880 --> 01:01:29.199
Right, Yeah, but anyway, so, uh, boots Aid aims another
1284
01:01:29.320 --> 01:01:34.280
high powered rifle at Machete. So the sniper's bullet wounds
1285
01:01:34.360 --> 01:01:37.280
Machete in the shoulder. He then quickly turns and shoots
1286
01:01:37.280 --> 01:01:42.639
Senator McLoughlin in the leg. The not Machete, but boots
1287
01:01:42.679 --> 01:01:46.960
Aid shoots the mill leg. Boot calls out and points
1288
01:01:47.000 --> 01:01:49.719
to the rooftop where Machete was perched, and everyone turns
1289
01:01:49.760 --> 01:01:52.440
and sees Machete on the rooftop trying to get away.
1290
01:01:53.119 --> 01:01:55.639
Cameras catch footage of him running away with the rifle
1291
01:01:55.679 --> 01:01:56.320
in his hands.
1292
01:01:57.000 --> 01:01:59.280
Yeah, it's pretty evident that this was like all very
1293
01:01:59.360 --> 01:02:00.760
rehearsed and a like setting him.
1294
01:02:00.760 --> 01:02:01.840
Oh it was a total setup.
1295
01:02:01.960 --> 01:02:02.119
Yeah.
1296
01:02:03.000 --> 01:02:03.199
Yeah.
1297
01:02:03.320 --> 01:02:05.800
Quickly, Matchete sees the whole job was a setup. He's
1298
01:02:05.840 --> 01:02:09.719
been framed for the assassination attempt on Sener Numbercloughlin. Matchete
1299
01:02:09.840 --> 01:02:12.039
must fight and shoot his way past a security guard
1300
01:02:12.159 --> 01:02:14.760
and a number of Boots henchmen to make good his escape.
1301
01:02:15.360 --> 01:02:18.280
As he descends a fire escape and hurries down an alley,
1302
01:02:18.760 --> 01:02:21.679
he's clubbed from behind and knocked down, and two police
1303
01:02:21.679 --> 01:02:24.960
officers pointing combat shotguns right at him point blank range.
1304
01:02:26.199 --> 01:02:30.239
Yeah, at least at least some folks in blaze uniform
1305
01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:31.800
looking pretty official.
1306
01:02:32.719 --> 01:02:33.440
They look official.
1307
01:02:33.519 --> 01:02:33.679
Yeah.
1308
01:02:33.679 --> 01:02:35.599
They take him into the squad car and drive off
1309
01:02:35.639 --> 01:02:39.000
with them, where they reveal that they are also boots accomplices.
1310
01:02:39.199 --> 01:02:42.199
Some of the bitch yep laughing over it because they
1311
01:02:42.239 --> 01:02:43.960
think Machete doesn't speak English.
1312
01:02:44.119 --> 01:02:47.320
I kind of love how he's got it by, you know,
1313
01:02:47.440 --> 01:02:50.360
the uniform thing. But you know he kind of like
1314
01:02:50.800 --> 01:02:52.800
learned from that trick later on in the Moddent.
1315
01:02:52.800 --> 01:02:54.639
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
1316
01:02:54.760 --> 01:02:57.920
The the driver of the squad car says, Machete must
1317
01:02:58.000 --> 01:03:00.880
believe that they're real cops because they first they cuffed him,
1318
01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:02.559
they put him in the car just like real cops do.
1319
01:03:03.960 --> 01:03:06.840
But then the one partner's like, why didn't frisk him?
1320
01:03:06.880 --> 01:03:11.239
Did you? Correction? I didn't, right, His machetes.
1321
01:03:11.440 --> 01:03:14.639
Machete erupts through the chest of the squad car driver,
1322
01:03:15.920 --> 01:03:18.840
the blade having been driven clean through the back rest
1323
01:03:18.880 --> 01:03:20.679
of the seat and the driver's back.
1324
01:03:21.199 --> 01:03:21.760
This is the best.
1325
01:03:21.880 --> 01:03:27.000
I love the Robert Robert Rodriguez sense of humor because
1326
01:03:27.039 --> 01:03:29.559
it's just kind of dark and twisted. But it's just
1327
01:03:29.679 --> 01:03:32.079
funny and that like it resonates with me because I like,
1328
01:03:32.679 --> 01:03:34.199
you know, funny shit like that.
1329
01:03:34.559 --> 01:03:35.239
It's good logic.
1330
01:03:35.719 --> 01:03:39.119
But the fact that like machete twists the blade to
1331
01:03:39.280 --> 01:03:41.880
force the driver's hands to turn the steering wheel in
1332
01:03:42.000 --> 01:03:43.239
such a way to steer the car.
1333
01:03:43.519 --> 01:03:48.800
Yep, we're going left twist. It's like, yeah, I don't
1334
01:03:48.840 --> 01:03:50.719
know how the guy's hands translate to that, but he
1335
01:03:52.159 --> 01:03:52.639
is working it.
1336
01:03:52.800 --> 01:03:53.280
It doesn't.
1337
01:03:53.360 --> 01:03:56.159
But from a film perspective, it's funny. Absolutely, It's like,
1338
01:03:56.159 --> 01:03:58.280
would it be funny if he did this, Yes, let's
1339
01:03:58.320 --> 01:04:04.400
see it. Here's him, Uh, here's the car into I
1340
01:04:04.440 --> 01:04:06.719
don't know, a bunch of boxes. Whatever the trope is
1341
01:04:06.800 --> 01:04:10.119
with car crashes where there's always like exploding boxes.
1342
01:04:10.199 --> 01:04:13.320
Right started with the duke's yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh.
1343
01:04:13.559 --> 01:04:15.920
Machete kicks out the rear windshield and gets clear just
1344
01:04:15.960 --> 01:04:20.039
as the squad car explodes, killing both henchman so double kill,
1345
01:04:20.519 --> 01:04:26.280
double kill. So news stations are reporting on the assassination attempt,
1346
01:04:26.400 --> 01:04:30.599
and he would be killer is of Mexican descent. So
1347
01:04:31.800 --> 01:04:34.039
Booth goes to his office and sets up a laptop
1348
01:04:34.159 --> 01:04:37.599
wireless conference call to Torres. Uses the conference call to
1349
01:04:37.639 --> 01:04:40.039
show him the news footage of the assassination attempt, saying
1350
01:04:40.079 --> 01:04:43.360
that McLoughlin's reelection is now a showin'. Torres is shown
1351
01:04:43.400 --> 01:04:47.000
to have an interest in the re election. As he
1352
01:04:47.079 --> 01:04:50.239
watches the news coverage, Torres notices that the hired assassin
1353
01:04:50.280 --> 01:04:54.719
looks familiar. He backtracks and zooms in, recognizing machete but
1354
01:04:54.840 --> 01:04:57.000
saying nothing about it to Booth, who writes a machete
1355
01:04:57.039 --> 01:04:59.400
off as a day labor of off the streets who
1356
01:04:59.400 --> 01:05:02.559
won't be missed. But Torres warns Booth that he'd better
1357
01:05:02.639 --> 01:05:05.360
be able to provide positive proof that the higher assassin
1358
01:05:05.480 --> 01:05:05.920
is dead.
1359
01:05:07.440 --> 01:05:09.840
Don't think he's dead, be sure he's dead.
1360
01:05:09.920 --> 01:05:10.760
Be sure he's dead.
1361
01:05:11.639 --> 01:05:13.840
As a conference call ends, Booth gets a phone call
1362
01:05:13.960 --> 01:05:17.320
from the sniper saying it's done. He thinks machete is toast.
1363
01:05:17.960 --> 01:05:20.920
Booth sternly orders the sniper to triple check every hospital
1364
01:05:20.960 --> 01:05:24.679
in Morgan the city to verify positively that Machete is dead.
1365
01:05:25.079 --> 01:05:27.360
Right, Yeah, the guy came across like the burning car
1366
01:05:27.519 --> 01:05:29.800
after the dukes of hazards done. So he's like, yeah,
1367
01:05:29.840 --> 01:05:31.159
he's probably.
1368
01:05:30.800 --> 01:05:33.000
He's probably dead. It probably is not good enough. You
1369
01:05:33.079 --> 01:05:33.599
got to check.
1370
01:05:34.079 --> 01:05:38.000
Yeah, Like, my boss has gotta freaking hit me with
1371
01:05:38.079 --> 01:05:42.360
that James Bond chair if you know, yep, it's a
1372
01:05:42.400 --> 01:05:44.360
little to the left type of you know, if you know,
1373
01:05:44.480 --> 01:05:45.760
you know, yep, totally.
1374
01:05:46.519 --> 01:05:49.239
Matchette is being taken to a hospital that specializes in
1375
01:05:49.360 --> 01:05:53.239
discreetly treating illegal immigrants. Two pretty young nurses rush him
1376
01:05:53.280 --> 01:05:55.559
to an er or while carefully telling him that nobody
1377
01:05:55.639 --> 01:05:57.599
knows he's here, and he was brought in as a
1378
01:05:57.679 --> 01:05:58.159
John Doe.
1379
01:05:58.639 --> 01:06:00.840
I just imagine if there's a few this movie, just
1380
01:06:00.880 --> 01:06:03.079
imagine she's like at least like an eight out of
1381
01:06:03.159 --> 01:06:03.960
ten or higher.
1382
01:06:04.119 --> 01:06:07.400
Uh huh. Context, there's a bit of trivia for that.
1383
01:06:07.480 --> 01:06:09.280
We'll get to that later. Yeah, you said that, I
1384
01:06:09.360 --> 01:06:10.960
will watch and I cannot wait to give that Like,
1385
01:06:11.000 --> 01:06:12.119
what is this trivia? Right?
1386
01:06:12.239 --> 01:06:12.360
Right?
1387
01:06:13.480 --> 01:06:16.599
So, Machete is taken to Doc Felix, who was impressed
1388
01:06:16.599 --> 01:06:19.639
that the bullet rebounded off of Machete's shoulder and would
1389
01:06:19.639 --> 01:06:22.079
have lodged in his head and killed him, but it
1390
01:06:22.239 --> 01:06:24.679
was stopped by another bullet that had already lodged there
1391
01:06:24.760 --> 01:06:27.360
from a long time ago, of course.
1392
01:06:27.320 --> 01:06:29.440
By the other things like Robin hood men and ties
1393
01:06:29.480 --> 01:06:31.480
and like the arrow hitting like the bullseye hitting the
1394
01:06:31.519 --> 01:06:31.960
bull's eye.
1395
01:06:32.719 --> 01:06:36.199
The hell yeah, absolutely, yeah, so over the top. It's
1396
01:06:36.400 --> 01:06:39.159
like just perfect enough, just over the top enough.
1397
01:06:39.280 --> 01:06:41.920
I mean, that's what you expect in a movie like this, right,
1398
01:06:42.079 --> 01:06:44.599
like you can you can ignore something like that because
1399
01:06:44.639 --> 01:06:47.800
it fits within the context of the ridiculousness.
1400
01:06:48.119 --> 01:06:51.159
Yes, right, it absolutely does. And it's like he could
1401
01:06:51.159 --> 01:06:54.199
have survived any number of ways. Why not just making
1402
01:06:54.239 --> 01:06:56.159
it like something hilarious like that.
1403
01:06:56.239 --> 01:06:57.360
Yeah, oh totally yeah.
1404
01:06:58.039 --> 01:07:00.840
So MACHETI awakens, Doc Felix tells him in Spanish, So
1405
01:07:00.920 --> 01:07:04.119
everyone in the hospital is part of the network. So
1406
01:07:04.400 --> 01:07:10.119
sniper arrives with the henchman carrying flowers kind of terminator style, almost.
1407
01:07:09.880 --> 01:07:10.760
You know, m hm.
1408
01:07:11.480 --> 01:07:13.559
He tells the reception nurse he's there to visit someone
1409
01:07:13.599 --> 01:07:17.559
who's been brought into ICU suspecting trouble. The reception nurse
1410
01:07:17.599 --> 01:07:20.360
gives directions, but the sniper quickly figures out she's lying
1411
01:07:20.840 --> 01:07:24.039
and the direct directions she gave lead to a back
1412
01:07:24.119 --> 01:07:27.079
exit from the hospital. Starts ahead in the correct direction,
1413
01:07:27.280 --> 01:07:31.800
and the receptionists quietly alerts stock. Felix Machette springs into action,
1414
01:07:32.039 --> 01:07:35.760
collecting a number of surgical instruments used for scraping bones clean,
1415
01:07:36.280 --> 01:07:38.199
which I think is great because every every time he's
1416
01:07:38.239 --> 01:07:40.960
picking something up off the table, like the doctor's explaining
1417
01:07:41.039 --> 01:07:43.679
exactly what it does. Yeah, he's like, oh, no, that's
1418
01:07:43.719 --> 01:07:44.599
for cleaning bones.
1419
01:07:45.039 --> 01:07:45.840
I'll take that. O.
1420
01:07:46.079 --> 01:07:46.880
That one's pretty sharp.
1421
01:07:47.920 --> 01:07:49.480
Those are sharp. Yeah, I'll take those.
1422
01:07:50.760 --> 01:07:52.679
And this is where he pulls the belt off of
1423
01:07:53.039 --> 01:07:57.199
the nurse uniform and then asks Felis to pack him
1424
01:07:57.199 --> 01:07:59.679
in air tank. So something's going on here.
1425
01:08:00.000 --> 01:08:01.760
Oh yeah, he's mcguy for and something.
1426
01:08:01.880 --> 01:08:02.320
Oh yeah.
1427
01:08:03.400 --> 01:08:05.880
So the sniper's on one side of the double doorway
1428
01:08:06.280 --> 01:08:08.880
and through the windows he sees the stretcher approaching the doors,
1429
01:08:09.400 --> 01:08:12.400
so he drops the flowers, reveals a gun hidden among them,
1430
01:08:12.480 --> 01:08:13.440
and fires a bunch of.
1431
01:08:13.440 --> 01:08:15.840
Shots terminators terminator style. Yeah.
1432
01:08:16.680 --> 01:08:19.439
The stretcher pushes through the doors, showing it was propelled
1433
01:08:19.479 --> 01:08:21.880
by an air tank which strapped down to the stretcher
1434
01:08:22.000 --> 01:08:24.960
as it explodes and like you know, passes by them.
1435
01:08:25.199 --> 01:08:27.319
They're like, whoa, that was a pretty good distraction. What
1436
01:08:27.439 --> 01:08:29.760
are we being set up for? It walks back towards
1437
01:08:29.840 --> 01:08:30.159
the hall.
1438
01:08:30.399 --> 01:08:35.199
Yeah, and then so as the as the stretcher passes
1439
01:08:35.279 --> 01:08:37.359
by them, the sniper and henchmen see the ruse, they
1440
01:08:37.439 --> 01:08:41.039
turn around toward the door. But here comes machete in
1441
01:08:41.479 --> 01:08:44.560
just a very obvious second take. Its obviously it's obviously
1442
01:08:44.600 --> 01:08:48.119
he wasn't under it in the first part. Yeah, but
1443
01:08:48.239 --> 01:08:51.560
that's fine, it doesn't matter because it's still hilarious because
1444
01:08:51.560 --> 01:08:51.960
we all know.
1445
01:08:52.279 --> 01:08:53.760
Right, So.
1446
01:08:55.359 --> 01:09:01.079
Machete basically rolls out from underneath the stretcher, stands up.
1447
01:09:01.119 --> 01:09:04.000
He's got the surgical instruments, right, he drops the like
1448
01:09:04.159 --> 01:09:06.079
the sash, the robe sash. Yeah, it was like a
1449
01:09:06.159 --> 01:09:07.960
double bluff. He was, Yeah, in the car at the
1450
01:09:08.000 --> 01:09:10.600
whole time. There's like four knives tied to this like
1451
01:09:10.800 --> 01:09:13.399
robe sash. Right, He's like swinging it around his head
1452
01:09:14.159 --> 01:09:16.680
and he like slashes like two or three guys.
1453
01:09:16.479 --> 01:09:18.680
With it, right, Yeah, just like well blow it right
1454
01:09:18.720 --> 01:09:22.479
in their faces. Yeah. I forgot to mention earlier too.
1455
01:09:23.600 --> 01:09:26.920
There's a there's a great Chekhov bit here where the
1456
01:09:27.079 --> 01:09:30.520
doctors explaining about the length of the human intestine and
1457
01:09:30.640 --> 01:09:31.880
how it's like sixty feet long.
1458
01:09:32.079 --> 01:09:34.359
Is yeah a sixty feet Yeah, everybody knows the.
1459
01:09:34.359 --> 01:09:37.479
Intestine is sixty feet long, so Chekhov's intestines, right, it's.
1460
01:09:37.520 --> 01:09:42.079
Wait, it's ten times longer than a human. Wait, you're
1461
01:09:42.119 --> 01:09:45.479
telling me it's sixty feet yeah, a whole dialogue about it,
1462
01:09:45.600 --> 01:09:46.319
Oh totally yeah.
1463
01:09:47.279 --> 01:09:51.199
So right at this point is when Matchete kills one
1464
01:09:51.239 --> 01:09:53.279
of the henchmen, ripping a hole in his midsection and
1465
01:09:53.319 --> 01:09:56.359
grabbing his intestine using it as a rope to go
1466
01:09:56.479 --> 01:10:00.399
through the window and repel down, which is hilarious to me.
1467
01:10:00.760 --> 01:10:05.119
As someone who's had some like intestinal surgery. I was like, gross, yeah,
1468
01:10:05.880 --> 01:10:06.880
squeamish for that bit.
1469
01:10:07.119 --> 01:10:09.920
You can you can relate ye as someone who watched
1470
01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:11.159
videodrome early on.
1471
01:10:11.479 --> 01:10:15.640
You can relate someone with less than sixty feet yeah. Yeah.
1472
01:10:15.840 --> 01:10:18.960
Yeah. So you're saying, if we need to repel it,
1473
01:10:19.079 --> 01:10:21.159
better be like a first floor window, if we need
1474
01:10:21.239 --> 01:10:22.720
to use your intestines, yeah, I.
1475
01:10:22.680 --> 01:10:26.279
Would recommend someone else. Okay, yeah, if that's maybe maybe
1476
01:10:26.319 --> 01:10:31.800
a garden level apartment possibly, Yeah, Like I'd play it safe, Okay,
1477
01:10:31.880 --> 01:10:32.880
Like I'm a last resort.
1478
01:10:33.000 --> 01:10:35.640
Okay, maybe from like the driver side of a car.
1479
01:10:35.640 --> 01:10:38.520
To someone else is what I'm telling you. Okay, and
1480
01:10:38.600 --> 01:10:40.800
then go for me okay in any case.
1481
01:10:41.079 --> 01:10:44.239
Okay, but if there's if the other girl doesn't have
1482
01:10:44.359 --> 01:10:47.279
any intestines, or maybe we blew them up, we can
1483
01:10:47.359 --> 01:10:47.840
only get so.
1484
01:10:47.880 --> 01:10:48.479
Far with yours.
1485
01:10:48.960 --> 01:10:52.279
Well, we'll try yours first, Okay, perfect, let's.
1486
01:10:52.119 --> 01:10:54.840
Hope we're never there. I agree, Yeah, but anyway, I
1487
01:10:54.960 --> 01:10:56.600
checkos intestines. I thought it was great.
1488
01:10:56.760 --> 01:10:58.920
So yeah, that's got to be like the most brutal
1489
01:10:59.319 --> 01:10:59.920
check offs check.
1490
01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:01.439
Oh totally, yeah, totally.
1491
01:11:01.560 --> 01:11:01.760
Yeah.
1492
01:11:02.199 --> 01:11:06.159
So then we cut to Sartana playing a what's very
1493
01:11:06.199 --> 01:11:10.199
obviously a combination of like We Fit and like Connect Adventures.
1494
01:11:10.199 --> 01:11:10.359
Here.
1495
01:11:10.479 --> 01:11:13.920
Again, this movie was made in twenty ten, so it's it's.
1496
01:11:13.800 --> 01:11:17.640
Pretty obvious that Robert Rodriguez's kids were probably playing We
1497
01:11:17.800 --> 01:11:20.079
Fit or something like that, and he's like, yeah, we.
1498
01:11:20.119 --> 01:11:21.079
Need to put that in the movie.
1499
01:11:21.399 --> 01:11:22.439
Dad put it in a Wii.
1500
01:11:22.760 --> 01:11:24.760
Yeah basically, yeah, Dad, I love the Wei.
1501
01:11:25.800 --> 01:11:29.680
Yeah, so yeah, it basically we're just seeing that this character,
1502
01:11:31.239 --> 01:11:32.840
like this is how she's training to keep it in
1503
01:11:32.960 --> 01:11:33.640
shape or whatever.
1504
01:11:33.880 --> 01:11:34.039
You know.
1505
01:11:34.560 --> 01:11:37.720
She can fight, Yeah, she can fight so she finishes up.
1506
01:11:37.760 --> 01:11:40.239
Her boss Jonas calls her and tells her that McLaughlin
1507
01:11:40.319 --> 01:11:43.640
was shot by an illegal immigrant. Sartana rushes to the
1508
01:11:43.720 --> 01:11:48.119
TV and watches the footage. Is amazed as she recognizes Machete.
1509
01:11:48.640 --> 01:11:50.159
Jonas orders her to bring him in.
1510
01:11:51.560 --> 01:11:54.560
So much you can do? Yeah yeah.
1511
01:11:55.399 --> 01:11:57.920
Matchete is staggering down a street when he's found by
1512
01:11:58.000 --> 01:12:01.000
loose and route back to back home to the taco truck,
1513
01:12:02.039 --> 01:12:05.239
taco stand truck. She tells him that he's all over
1514
01:12:05.319 --> 01:12:08.199
the TV and thatshers him inside her truck, driving him
1515
01:12:08.239 --> 01:12:11.920
to her house. So TV news updates show that sent
1516
01:12:12.039 --> 01:12:15.159
the assassination attempt on Senator mcgloughlin has pushed his ratings
1517
01:12:15.199 --> 01:12:18.159
to a commanding lead in the re election race. That
1518
01:12:18.279 --> 01:12:20.479
he was shot by an lego immigrant is convincing people
1519
01:12:20.640 --> 01:12:24.039
that harshly strict border security is now necessary.
1520
01:12:25.319 --> 01:12:26.039
Scary stuff.
1521
01:12:26.359 --> 01:12:29.439
Yeah, he's definitely manipulating. Thanks you.
1522
01:12:29.720 --> 01:12:33.479
It just shows you how easily propaganda and spread like wildfire.
1523
01:12:33.680 --> 01:12:33.880
Yep.
1524
01:12:34.239 --> 01:12:37.720
So Louz brings Machete into her bedroom, lays him down
1525
01:12:37.800 --> 01:12:40.239
on her bed, breaking open an egg underneath the bed
1526
01:12:40.359 --> 01:12:44.199
so its vapors will help Machete heel sochet.
1527
01:12:43.920 --> 01:12:45.000
Or some superstition like that.
1528
01:12:45.119 --> 01:12:48.640
I don't know, you tell me, yeah, MATCHETI sees various
1529
01:12:48.640 --> 01:12:51.680
newspaper clippings on Loos's bedroom wall showing her dressed and
1530
01:12:51.840 --> 01:12:55.000
armed as a revolutionary soldier, strongly hinting that she is
1531
01:12:55.640 --> 01:12:58.840
the legendary she who leads the support.
1532
01:12:58.600 --> 01:13:03.479
Network one that esca Alva characters been kind of referring
1533
01:13:03.479 --> 01:13:03.680
to her.
1534
01:13:03.760 --> 01:13:07.600
Looking for yep, Louse sadly tells Machete that while she
1535
01:13:07.800 --> 01:13:10.560
is the network's leader, the figurehead of she is an
1536
01:13:10.600 --> 01:13:14.079
imaginary personage she created to give the people she helps
1537
01:13:14.159 --> 01:13:17.399
a sense of hope and purpose. If she really was
1538
01:13:17.520 --> 01:13:22.000
this figurehead, Loose wouldn't be operating a taco truck. Lou
1539
01:13:22.079 --> 01:13:24.680
says she originally just tried to provide food for immigrants
1540
01:13:24.720 --> 01:13:27.319
and try to discreetly get them jobs, but now Vonn
1541
01:13:27.399 --> 01:13:29.880
and his border vigilantes are hunting her and or people
1542
01:13:30.039 --> 01:13:30.560
like dogs.
1543
01:13:31.199 --> 01:13:33.479
Machete tells Luce that she is a fighter and can
1544
01:13:33.560 --> 01:13:38.000
stop the injustice. Hell yeah, let's go yeah.
1545
01:13:38.600 --> 01:13:41.399
LuSE reveals that she knows who Machete is. She's heard
1546
01:13:41.439 --> 01:13:45.359
about the legends. He suggests that maybe the legend is better.
1547
01:13:46.479 --> 01:13:47.640
I'm saying she'll be.
1548
01:13:47.720 --> 01:13:48.279
The judge of that.
1549
01:13:49.039 --> 01:13:57.920
Louse, gets into bed and sleeps with Machete. Then we
1550
01:13:58.000 --> 01:14:01.840
cut to Sartana on Machet's trail, searching for him. Her computer,
1551
01:14:02.079 --> 01:14:05.920
tapping into identification databases finally identifies a photo of him,
1552
01:14:05.960 --> 01:14:09.520
and Sartana is astonished as she reads the file on Machete,
1553
01:14:09.960 --> 01:14:12.279
his background as an ex federale.
1554
01:14:12.279 --> 01:14:13.319
And his credentials.
1555
01:14:14.359 --> 01:14:17.920
So Booth is at his palatial home having breakfast with
1556
01:14:18.000 --> 01:14:22.079
April and his wife June, eating tacos of all things.
1557
01:14:22.159 --> 01:14:23.359
So that's kind of interesting.
1558
01:14:24.079 --> 01:14:27.119
Yeah, you go freaking you don't practic as well as to.
1559
01:14:27.119 --> 01:14:32.279
Breach despite being involved in drug dealing. Booth is trying
1560
01:14:32.319 --> 01:14:34.680
to get April in college to go onto a decent career.
1561
01:14:35.159 --> 01:14:38.319
But April reveals that she models herself pornographically on the
1562
01:14:38.399 --> 01:14:41.159
web and that her site receives a tremendous amount of
1563
01:14:41.239 --> 01:14:45.560
internet traffic. So that's kind of interesting for twenty ten
1564
01:14:45.680 --> 01:14:48.720
and Lindsay Lohan specifically certainly.
1565
01:14:49.159 --> 01:14:51.399
Yeah, I really had to curve there, girl. I gotta say.
1566
01:14:53.239 --> 01:14:57.039
Booth's cell phone rings the sniper's reporting in about Machete's escape.
1567
01:14:57.479 --> 01:15:00.279
Booth furiously orders the sniper to go to the corner
1568
01:15:00.279 --> 01:15:02.199
where Booth picked him a shutty up and find him.
1569
01:15:03.159 --> 01:15:06.880
Sniper corners a day labor and questions him on Loose's whereabouts.
1570
01:15:07.319 --> 01:15:10.600
Laborer says he hasn't seen Lucy yet, she's late. Sniper
1571
01:15:10.680 --> 01:15:15.000
realizes that the laborer didn't mean she, but she and
1572
01:15:15.119 --> 01:15:17.680
the labor knows where she lives.
1573
01:15:18.279 --> 01:15:20.840
I think that part's a little bit loose in the dialogue,
1574
01:15:20.920 --> 01:15:23.640
but just to get the things moving, Yeah, I think
1575
01:15:23.680 --> 01:15:24.560
it's kind of necessary.
1576
01:15:24.760 --> 01:15:26.319
Yeah, it's it's quick enough.
1577
01:15:26.359 --> 01:15:28.159
It's like our guy whatever, I wish they would have
1578
01:15:28.279 --> 01:15:31.399
like spent just like I don't know, ten fifteen more
1579
01:15:31.479 --> 01:15:33.680
minutes is writ in that dialogue out, but I understand,
1580
01:15:33.760 --> 01:15:36.319
like the henchman needs to be on her. Yeah, it's
1581
01:15:36.399 --> 01:15:38.600
just enough to kind of move the plot forward.
1582
01:15:38.399 --> 01:15:40.439
Right, yeah, but if like that's enough to tip her off,
1583
01:15:40.560 --> 01:15:42.760
like why didn't you tip her off? Like why didn't
1584
01:15:42.800 --> 01:15:45.159
that work like in any other conversation you ever had
1585
01:15:45.159 --> 01:15:45.439
about it?
1586
01:15:45.720 --> 01:15:45.840
Right?
1587
01:15:45.960 --> 01:15:46.119
Right?
1588
01:15:46.199 --> 01:15:46.399
Yeah?
1589
01:15:46.439 --> 01:15:47.319
Why now? Yeah?
1590
01:15:47.479 --> 01:15:50.359
But anyways, yep, So the Sniper is arriving with more
1591
01:15:50.399 --> 01:15:54.640
henchman at Luc's house. Matchete awakens alone, finding Loose gone
1592
01:15:55.319 --> 01:15:56.680
and the Texas heat is cooked.
1593
01:15:56.720 --> 01:15:57.760
The egg under the bed.
1594
01:15:58.000 --> 01:15:58.560
So it's hot.
1595
01:15:59.279 --> 01:16:02.840
Yeah, it all like damn yeah yeah, Like I was
1596
01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:04.359
confused about the egg the whole time, and I seed
1597
01:16:04.399 --> 01:16:06.199
to cook it out of the bag and bed. Okay,
1598
01:16:06.319 --> 01:16:10.000
well yeah, it's pretty miserable there, I guess. Yeah. Yep.
1599
01:16:11.279 --> 01:16:14.439
So sniper's henchman automatic weapons at the ready, prepared to
1600
01:16:14.479 --> 01:16:16.720
open fire. As one of them knocks on the door,
1601
01:16:17.279 --> 01:16:19.920
a steel machete bursts through the door, through the henchman's
1602
01:16:19.960 --> 01:16:20.479
forehead and.
1603
01:16:20.520 --> 01:16:21.680
Out the back of his skull.
1604
01:16:22.000 --> 01:16:22.279
Nice.
1605
01:16:22.600 --> 01:16:25.640
Seeing this, the sniper orders his remaining henchman to burst
1606
01:16:25.680 --> 01:16:28.920
in and get him. Machete ambushes one of the henchmen
1607
01:16:28.960 --> 01:16:31.880
and gruesomely killing him with a wine corkscrew. That's a
1608
01:16:31.960 --> 01:16:35.760
good good corkscrew death there, like John Wickish basically yeah.
1609
01:16:36.560 --> 01:16:38.920
Hearing the man's death scream, the sniper reaches into his
1610
01:16:39.039 --> 01:16:41.560
car and pulls out a wired C four brick, hurling
1611
01:16:41.640 --> 01:16:46.079
it through one of the windows. So this is one
1612
01:16:46.079 --> 01:16:49.600
of the funniest parts is for me. So as machete
1613
01:16:49.720 --> 01:16:51.920
kills one of the remaining henchmen by throwing like a
1614
01:16:52.279 --> 01:16:55.720
meat thermometer into their necks. Oh yeah right, And then
1615
01:16:56.760 --> 01:16:59.319
as Sartana drives up to the house, looking in question
1616
01:17:00.640 --> 01:17:03.960
loose about machete. She sees the sniper drive off as
1617
01:17:04.039 --> 01:17:09.239
Los's house explodes, hurling the dead henchman to land right
1618
01:17:09.319 --> 01:17:11.399
on the hood of her car. And he's still got
1619
01:17:11.439 --> 01:17:13.720
the meat thermometer in his neck and it just goes
1620
01:17:13.800 --> 01:17:15.319
all the way up to the top where it says
1621
01:17:15.439 --> 01:17:18.600
like extra crispy, and then just rolls off the car.
1622
01:17:18.760 --> 01:17:20.479
It's just such a blink and you miss a moment.
1623
01:17:20.680 --> 01:17:25.520
But what a great like Simpson's level moment of dark humor.
1624
01:17:25.640 --> 01:17:29.479
Yeah, thats like almost like an outlier on how like
1625
01:17:29.680 --> 01:17:31.680
zany or wacky everything has been so far.
1626
01:17:31.880 --> 01:17:34.640
Yeah, yeah, but it's fine, like this is this is
1627
01:17:34.640 --> 01:17:36.560
why you're here. You're watching shit like this right, Like
1628
01:17:36.680 --> 01:17:37.880
it's ridiculous, but it's fun.
1629
01:17:37.960 --> 01:17:38.159
Yeah.
1630
01:17:38.159 --> 01:17:40.000
I mean, if you're gonna use a meet me throwmometer
1631
01:17:40.039 --> 01:17:43.159
to kill somebody, like, there's gotta be some reason for that.
1632
01:17:43.560 --> 01:17:44.000
Mm hmm.
1633
01:17:44.479 --> 01:17:47.239
So she screams in horror and James Unfuller Verse driving away,
1634
01:17:47.520 --> 01:17:50.800
so we see Manchette limping away from the house. When
1635
01:17:50.880 --> 01:17:54.159
Sartana finally finds him, pulling her gun, she orders him
1636
01:17:54.159 --> 01:17:57.560
into the car and calls him agent, revealing that she also.
1637
01:17:57.479 --> 01:18:00.720
Knows who Machete is. Cat's out of the bag, huh.
1638
01:18:01.680 --> 01:18:05.119
Sartana drives, she and Machete talk. Sartana reveals that she's
1639
01:18:05.159 --> 01:18:07.520
with Ice, but she doesn't plan to bring Machete in.
1640
01:18:08.039 --> 01:18:11.840
She wants information that she knows Machete has. Sartana's looking
1641
01:18:11.880 --> 01:18:14.960
to transfer to a different job. She's tired of working
1642
01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:17.640
over lews and the laborers who gather at her taco stand.
1643
01:18:17.680 --> 01:18:20.600
Admitting that the guilt arising from her own Mexican heritage
1644
01:18:20.640 --> 01:18:23.880
is getting to her. She questions Machete on the assassinate
1645
01:18:24.039 --> 01:18:27.359
assassination attempt and tells her that he was planning to
1646
01:18:27.439 --> 01:18:30.439
just shoot Macgoffin in the neck, rendering him mute, and
1647
01:18:30.600 --> 01:18:34.680
to stop him from saying that awful shit fair, that's fair.
1648
01:18:35.079 --> 01:18:35.279
Yeah.
1649
01:18:36.279 --> 01:18:38.359
He then reveals it was all set up and another
1650
01:18:38.399 --> 01:18:41.840
shooter was there. Sartana May's Turnstorre was Machete and asked
1651
01:18:41.880 --> 01:18:45.840
who it was. At this point, taking advantage of the distraction,
1652
01:18:46.640 --> 01:18:50.399
Machete grabs the the handbrake and yanks on it, causing
1653
01:18:50.439 --> 01:18:53.439
the car to spin around, before he grabs her gun
1654
01:18:53.840 --> 01:18:54.520
points it at her.
1655
01:18:54.840 --> 01:18:57.319
He tells her to just keep driving.
1656
01:18:58.239 --> 01:18:59.920
So you're now my hostage.
1657
01:19:00.199 --> 01:19:02.479
Yeah, I'm the captain now pretty much.
1658
01:19:03.640 --> 01:19:06.399
Uh, calming down, Tartana reveals that she knows what happened
1659
01:19:06.399 --> 01:19:08.760
to Matchetti's family, but she begs him to trust her
1660
01:19:09.239 --> 01:19:11.720
because she believes the system works here. She started in
1661
01:19:11.880 --> 01:19:14.920
Ice as a janitor, working her way up through translator
1662
01:19:15.039 --> 01:19:19.279
assistant into her current position as special Agent. Machete, however,
1663
01:19:19.399 --> 01:19:24.319
dismisses this as another method for Sartana's superior. Sartana's superiors
1664
01:19:24.520 --> 01:19:25.760
at twelve percent beers.
1665
01:19:25.479 --> 01:19:25.920
Getting to me.
1666
01:19:26.680 --> 01:19:31.039
Yeah, that's that's a tricky t it is there. Yeah, yeah, superiors.
1667
01:19:30.560 --> 01:19:35.760
Tatana, Sartana's superiors her continue taking out the trash. That's
1668
01:19:35.760 --> 01:19:37.960
a good line too. It's like it sounds like they
1669
01:19:38.039 --> 01:19:39.720
still got you taking out the trash.
1670
01:19:40.079 --> 01:19:42.840
Right, yeah, Like I know you think you've risen the ranks,
1671
01:19:42.880 --> 01:19:44.640
but it seems like, yeah, you're still giving these like
1672
01:19:44.720 --> 01:19:45.439
real tough But.
1673
01:19:45.439 --> 01:19:47.239
Is that kind of something that kind of true of
1674
01:19:47.359 --> 01:19:49.800
like a lot of jobs like that where people sell
1675
01:19:49.880 --> 01:19:52.039
out and they're like, I'm doing this thing now.
1676
01:19:52.159 --> 01:19:54.119
It sounds like they're still making to take out the trash.
1677
01:19:54.600 --> 01:19:57.399
Yep, you've risen the ladder, but like what cost, Like,
1678
01:19:57.560 --> 01:19:58.800
look what you're doing right now? Yeah?
1679
01:19:59.079 --> 01:20:00.479
Who do you step on the the way up?
1680
01:20:00.800 --> 01:20:04.199
So uh, She continues trying to plead with him, looking
1681
01:20:04.239 --> 01:20:06.520
to put Machete into witness protection if he just tells
1682
01:20:06.560 --> 01:20:09.039
her who hired him for the hit on McLoughlin. But
1683
01:20:09.199 --> 01:20:13.760
Machete doesn't answer, mom Man, So Booth and the sniper
1684
01:20:13.800 --> 01:20:16.880
are getting a fax that identifies just who the nobody
1685
01:20:17.039 --> 01:20:20.319
day laborer was they hired for the hit, finally understanding
1686
01:20:20.359 --> 01:20:21.720
that he is serious business.
1687
01:20:22.720 --> 01:20:24.760
This is one thing I like about older movies.
1688
01:20:24.960 --> 01:20:28.159
I love the technology of a fax machine, how slow
1689
01:20:28.279 --> 01:20:31.520
it takes it to come through, and there's just especially
1690
01:20:31.600 --> 01:20:35.039
when like it should be a trope no matter what
1691
01:20:35.720 --> 01:20:38.439
era the movie's in. But if there's a fact coming
1692
01:20:38.520 --> 01:20:41.359
through and it's taking forever and you realize, like that
1693
01:20:41.479 --> 01:20:43.239
the guy that you were trying to kill is actually
1694
01:20:43.279 --> 01:20:46.680
a badass, Like it should be delivered by facts so
1695
01:20:46.800 --> 01:20:48.600
you can shit yourself as it's coming in.
1696
01:20:49.239 --> 01:20:52.279
Yeah, through it this suspense is perfect.
1697
01:20:52.439 --> 01:20:55.239
Yeah, because what's he sailors? Like, he tell me that
1698
01:20:56.039 --> 01:20:59.600
this this day labor is a goddamn feder rally is
1699
01:20:59.640 --> 01:21:01.319
it's just coming off the fax machine?
1700
01:21:01.520 --> 01:21:03.960
Yeah, And He's pissed. He's like, yeah, I feel like
1701
01:21:04.000 --> 01:21:06.039
he's got hustled in this job basically, right.
1702
01:21:06.359 --> 01:21:10.800
Yeah, So wireless conference call on Boot's laptop is connecting
1703
01:21:10.880 --> 01:21:13.199
him to Torres, who asked if the sniper is the
1704
01:21:13.279 --> 01:21:14.319
man Booth as signed.
1705
01:21:14.159 --> 01:21:14.840
To kill Machete.
1706
01:21:15.800 --> 01:21:19.760
He's disappointed at boots tolerance for failure, but Boot says
1707
01:21:19.800 --> 01:21:24.079
he's not tolerant and proves it by choking. Yeah, choking
1708
01:21:24.159 --> 01:21:26.039
the sniper to death right in front of the monitor
1709
01:21:26.119 --> 01:21:27.000
so Torres can see.
1710
01:21:27.479 --> 01:21:27.680
Yep.
1711
01:21:27.840 --> 01:21:32.239
So Booth then announces he's calling in Osiris. I'm on
1712
01:21:32.399 --> 01:21:36.079
poor the deadliest, most notorious professional hit man in Texas
1713
01:21:36.319 --> 01:21:40.239
to deal with Machete, played by horror legend Tom Savigni.
1714
01:21:40.560 --> 01:21:42.319
I feel like this would be a role for Jodahn
1715
01:21:42.359 --> 01:21:44.319
Baker for some reason. Oh God, like it's been a
1716
01:21:44.359 --> 01:21:45.800
while since we've seen him in anything.
1717
01:21:46.199 --> 01:21:48.640
No, this is one hundred percent Tom Savigni, like all
1718
01:21:48.720 --> 01:21:51.000
over the place, like we saw him in from Dustill
1719
01:21:51.039 --> 01:21:54.600
Dawn with the crotch gun. If you go farther back
1720
01:21:54.680 --> 01:21:57.880
and watch nineteen seventy eight Dawn of the Dead, you
1721
01:21:57.960 --> 01:22:00.800
see Tom Savini riding a motorcycle through them all chopping
1722
01:22:00.920 --> 01:22:02.199
zombies up with a machete.
1723
01:22:02.279 --> 01:22:03.880
Oh yeah, that is him, isn't it. Yeah?
1724
01:22:04.479 --> 01:22:07.319
Uh so, you know, a badass dude of course.
1725
01:22:08.600 --> 01:22:11.319
So unfortunately this is not enough to get Booth off
1726
01:22:11.359 --> 01:22:13.399
the hook, though Torres warns Booth that he has twenty
1727
01:22:13.439 --> 01:22:16.119
four hours. After that, Torres will be forced to come
1728
01:22:16.199 --> 01:22:19.000
up to Texas himself, and I've asked to do it. Then,
1729
01:22:19.800 --> 01:22:22.199
after he kills a machete, he's going to kill.
1730
01:22:22.079 --> 01:22:25.960
Booth as well, So do not wake the dragon.
1731
01:22:26.239 --> 01:22:27.399
No, pretty much.
1732
01:22:27.800 --> 01:22:30.479
Tartana's brought Machette home and is fixing him a meal
1733
01:22:30.520 --> 01:22:33.600
and hopes it will persuade him to talk. Machete doesn't
1734
01:22:33.640 --> 01:22:36.239
know Booth or who he is, just that he's not Mexican,
1735
01:22:36.439 --> 01:22:39.479
and Loose doesn't know anything about him either, meaning the
1736
01:22:39.560 --> 01:22:43.960
network isn't involved in the assassination attempt. Machete tells Tartana
1737
01:22:44.039 --> 01:22:45.880
that Booth paid him one hundred and fifty thousand to
1738
01:22:45.960 --> 01:22:48.039
do the job, though he doesn't tell Sartana why he
1739
01:22:48.119 --> 01:22:52.479
took the money. Sartana continues trying to reason with Machete.
1740
01:22:52.960 --> 01:22:55.359
She knows that he's essentially a man with no country now.
1741
01:22:55.479 --> 01:22:58.319
He has no legal papers for American residents and couldn't
1742
01:22:58.359 --> 01:23:01.359
hope to return to Mexico. She can get him documentation,
1743
01:23:01.680 --> 01:23:04.439
but he needs to work with her, starting by telling
1744
01:23:04.520 --> 01:23:09.520
her who hired him for the McLoughlin hit. So, seeing
1745
01:23:09.560 --> 01:23:12.319
that Tartana's hand has edged close to the knife that
1746
01:23:12.399 --> 01:23:15.279
she used in preparing the meal, Machete points her gun
1747
01:23:15.359 --> 01:23:17.439
at her again and tells her that he's going to
1748
01:23:17.520 --> 01:23:19.920
find the man who hired him and deliver him to
1749
01:23:20.039 --> 01:23:23.239
Sartana to win her trust. He hands Tartana's gun back
1750
01:23:23.239 --> 01:23:27.119
to her before leaving her house. She's kind of sardonic
1751
01:23:27.199 --> 01:23:29.800
at the exit, saying, oh, she knows that he took
1752
01:23:29.840 --> 01:23:32.119
the bullets out of the gun before returning it, but
1753
01:23:32.199 --> 01:23:34.359
then she checks the clip and finds she was wrong.
1754
01:23:34.720 --> 01:23:37.800
Macheti returned the gun to her, fully loaded, trusting her
1755
01:23:37.880 --> 01:23:39.479
not to use it to arrest him again.
1756
01:23:39.680 --> 01:23:44.359
Who yeh did you say Sardana was sardonic? Yeah, you
1757
01:23:44.560 --> 01:23:45.159
son of a bitch.
1758
01:23:45.920 --> 01:23:49.319
Sartana was sardanak pretty close? Yeah, close enough.
1759
01:23:50.560 --> 01:23:53.399
So he got to a day labor named Julio played
1760
01:23:53.439 --> 01:23:54.720
by Darryl Sabara.
1761
01:23:55.640 --> 01:24:00.119
Spy kids of course, Yeah, Junie is little and the
1762
01:24:00.720 --> 01:24:03.199
trivia for that he was described as and this is
1763
01:24:03.279 --> 01:24:06.479
Robert Rodriguez's words, Junie's a cholo in this one.
1764
01:24:06.680 --> 01:24:08.840
Yep, yep, I can see it. I can see it.
1765
01:24:09.720 --> 01:24:14.960
Uh so yeah, yeah, Juny and a friend. I think
1766
01:24:15.000 --> 01:24:17.680
his friend is played by one of Robert Rodriguez's kids.
1767
01:24:18.479 --> 01:24:20.039
I think I saw that in the trivia.
1768
01:24:20.199 --> 01:24:22.319
Well, he's just chilling in the background for the last part.
1769
01:24:22.560 --> 01:24:22.760
Yeah.
1770
01:24:24.760 --> 01:24:27.520
So they arrive at Loz's house horrify, horrified to see
1771
01:24:27.560 --> 01:24:30.640
it in ruins, but Luce comes up behind them, showing
1772
01:24:30.680 --> 01:24:32.520
that she is alive and well and can't be taken
1773
01:24:32.560 --> 01:24:35.359
down that easily. She thinks that Vaughn was behind the
1774
01:24:35.399 --> 01:24:37.920
bombing of her house and tells Julio that Vaughn's gone
1775
01:24:37.920 --> 01:24:41.319
to war with them. Smiling, she tells them she wants
1776
01:24:41.399 --> 01:24:45.000
to show them something she does not notice Tartana driving
1777
01:24:45.079 --> 01:24:49.279
up to the house. Luz takes Julio and her friend
1778
01:24:49.319 --> 01:24:53.079
to her grog, showing an impressive arsenal of high tech firepower. Still,
1779
01:24:53.199 --> 01:24:54.960
she says it's not enough.
1780
01:24:54.840 --> 01:24:55.560
For the revolution.
1781
01:24:56.239 --> 01:24:58.039
She's not going to be around forever and if something
1782
01:24:58.119 --> 01:25:00.760
happens to her, she says Julio needs to find Machete
1783
01:25:00.840 --> 01:25:03.760
and tell the people that they need him. See, we
1784
01:25:03.840 --> 01:25:04.840
need to tell him we need him.
1785
01:25:05.399 --> 01:25:11.000
I think that goes right now exactly, Like, yeah, you're
1786
01:25:11.079 --> 01:25:14.079
the savior of the people, Danny Tray.
1787
01:25:13.920 --> 01:25:17.479
Hope please, Yeah, you're my only hope exactly, Danny Treyo,
1788
01:25:17.560 --> 01:25:21.800
You're my only help me. Danny Treyo like his long
1789
01:25:21.880 --> 01:25:24.560
hairs and like the Princess Leah Butns he's got like
1790
01:25:24.600 --> 01:25:25.279
the white dress on.
1791
01:25:25.439 --> 01:25:27.960
I'll put my hair in Princess Leah Butns and I'll
1792
01:25:28.039 --> 01:25:30.520
ask Danny trey Hoe tell him that he's my only hope.
1793
01:25:30.600 --> 01:25:33.600
Yeah, and we'll just see what happens.
1794
01:25:34.520 --> 01:25:37.359
Can you imagine Danny Treo just like telling grindim Off
1795
01:25:37.399 --> 01:25:39.039
Tarkin that the rebels are on Dantuen?
1796
01:25:40.159 --> 01:25:44.680
Yeah, you know, I can't Actually they're on Danen. The
1797
01:25:44.760 --> 01:25:47.680
rebels they're in yeah, Washington, d C. Right.
1798
01:25:47.880 --> 01:25:50.239
Yeah. So uh.
1799
01:25:51.680 --> 01:25:54.359
Sartana walks in and confronts Lou's gun drawn, and she
1800
01:25:54.439 --> 01:25:56.840
asks where Machete is. There's a brief moment of panic.
1801
01:25:57.359 --> 01:25:59.880
Julio is certain that Tartana is looking to deport them.
1802
01:26:00.600 --> 01:26:04.520
Sartana assures Julio and Lou's that Machete has told her
1803
01:26:04.640 --> 01:26:07.800
they were not involved in the McLoughlin shooting. Still, she
1804
01:26:07.960 --> 01:26:10.000
knows that the garage is a hiding place for something,
1805
01:26:10.039 --> 01:26:14.079
and she wants to know what. Rarely Lous shows Tartana everything.
1806
01:26:14.319 --> 01:26:17.319
The garage is her headquarters for the network. The walls
1807
01:26:17.359 --> 01:26:20.439
are covered with corkboards, on which are placed photographs with
1808
01:26:20.560 --> 01:26:23.880
notes on people she's helped get across find work, make
1809
01:26:23.960 --> 01:26:26.439
sure that they all do their part becoming productive workers
1810
01:26:26.479 --> 01:26:29.199
that help others in turn. She also has a board
1811
01:26:29.279 --> 01:26:32.479
for people that are missing, presumably to Vaughn and his vigilantes.
1812
01:26:33.119 --> 01:26:35.720
Another board has photos and clippings of Vaughn and his men.
1813
01:26:36.560 --> 01:26:38.880
Louis doesn't know who's funding them, but Vaughn's efforts are
1814
01:26:38.920 --> 01:26:41.800
making a mess of Luce's operations. Her network does go
1815
01:26:41.960 --> 01:26:44.920
very deep, including lawyers, priests, and doctors of all backgrounds
1816
01:26:45.000 --> 01:26:45.439
and races.
1817
01:26:46.159 --> 01:26:48.319
Yeah, so as much as she said like, oh, I'm
1818
01:26:48.359 --> 01:26:52.000
not she, you know, she's just an idea, seems like
1819
01:26:52.159 --> 01:26:55.159
she really is she. Yeah, which I think, by the way,
1820
01:26:55.199 --> 01:26:57.399
I'm just kind of having this realization. There's like this
1821
01:26:57.720 --> 01:27:01.760
gen Z term where's like you're bro, you're him. It's
1822
01:27:01.840 --> 01:27:04.159
just like I feel like Robert Ririguez had that first.
1823
01:27:04.239 --> 01:27:06.760
But just like role reverse where it's just like, you know,
1824
01:27:07.000 --> 01:27:10.279
Michelle Rodriguez's character Lucy, you know she is she you know,
1825
01:27:10.359 --> 01:27:11.359
she's the badass she.
1826
01:27:12.199 --> 01:27:14.359
And that's an interesting way to look at it, because
1827
01:27:14.359 --> 01:27:17.680
I look at it differently, like it's more almost like Shay,
1828
01:27:17.880 --> 01:27:21.720
like Shay Guavara almost, and even the posters kind of
1829
01:27:21.800 --> 01:27:24.760
have that same sort of like the color look to
1830
01:27:24.880 --> 01:27:26.399
him and kind of the revolutionary look.
1831
01:27:26.720 --> 01:27:28.319
Well, I'm not sure who you're referring to.
1832
01:27:28.600 --> 01:27:32.159
So yeah, yeah, go look up, look up some some
1833
01:27:32.319 --> 01:27:35.159
revolutionary history like Shay Guara Vara, stuff like that, and
1834
01:27:35.279 --> 01:27:37.800
like you'll see kind of the parallels too, right. So
1835
01:27:38.199 --> 01:27:39.600
that's why it's important to study history.
1836
01:27:39.640 --> 01:27:41.359
I don't want to do homework. You have to.
1837
01:27:41.479 --> 01:27:43.239
If you don't study history, you'll repeat it.
1838
01:27:44.079 --> 01:27:47.199
HM. Unfortunately it happens flat circle anyway.
1839
01:27:47.840 --> 01:27:48.000
Yeah.
1840
01:27:48.119 --> 01:27:53.159
Yeah, So anyway, Soar kind of reassures Julio that she's
1841
01:27:53.199 --> 01:27:55.000
not going to blow the whistle on what she's learned.
1842
01:27:55.079 --> 01:27:57.640
She's gonna walk away quietly and pretend that she hasn't seen.
1843
01:27:57.479 --> 01:27:58.359
It, and she leaves.
1844
01:27:58.399 --> 01:28:00.399
She tells Luis and Julio to let me CHETI know
1845
01:28:00.479 --> 01:28:03.800
that she's looking for him, Machete goes to the Catholic church.
1846
01:28:04.279 --> 01:28:07.640
The padre there, cheech Marin, was once a fellow federal
1847
01:28:07.880 --> 01:28:10.880
with Machete, who is retired from that business and has
1848
01:28:10.960 --> 01:28:14.079
joined the priesthood. And yet he's the one Machete is
1849
01:28:14.119 --> 01:28:16.439
now turning to for help with Booth and all his henchmen.
1850
01:28:17.600 --> 01:28:19.279
This is one of the best scenes. This was one
1851
01:28:19.279 --> 01:28:21.199
of the best scenes in the trailer, and still gray.
1852
01:28:21.199 --> 01:28:24.560
He's like, you want to be too quillo. All these people, I.
1853
01:28:24.600 --> 01:28:25.359
See what they can do.
1854
01:28:28.199 --> 01:28:31.000
So Pottery says He'll try to help Machete however you can.
1855
01:28:31.800 --> 01:28:34.119
There is very unenthusia having to call on his former
1856
01:28:34.199 --> 01:28:35.039
skills once again.
1857
01:28:35.439 --> 01:28:43.319
So and worth mentioning he's not just he is Magette's brother.
1858
01:28:44.760 --> 01:28:45.760
Yeah, that's true.
1859
01:28:46.239 --> 01:28:51.560
Ermano, Ermano, yes, so in Spanish. So I don't expect
1860
01:28:51.600 --> 01:28:52.600
much from me in that department.
1861
01:28:53.560 --> 01:28:56.520
So Potter takes Booth to his office in the church.
1862
01:28:56.880 --> 01:28:57.000
Uh.
1863
01:28:57.560 --> 01:29:01.720
Turning on the TV, he shows Uh Matchette footage of
1864
01:29:01.800 --> 01:29:04.399
McLoughlin and Booth giving a press conference shortly after the
1865
01:29:04.399 --> 01:29:07.760
assassination attempt. Machete points Booth out as the man who
1866
01:29:07.880 --> 01:29:09.960
hired him and finds out for the first time just
1867
01:29:10.039 --> 01:29:13.880
who Booth really is. He's an aide to Senator McLoughlin himself.
1868
01:29:14.640 --> 01:29:17.279
Booth comes into Padre's church a lot to make confession,
1869
01:29:17.479 --> 01:29:21.359
mostly for improper and indecent fantasies involving April, his daughter.
1870
01:29:21.800 --> 01:29:25.399
H Pottery gives Machete a file he compiled on Booth
1871
01:29:25.520 --> 01:29:29.640
type transcripts and cd RAM recordings of confessionals, showing that
1872
01:29:29.720 --> 01:29:32.239
Booth has confided a great deal of his life's goings
1873
01:29:32.279 --> 01:29:35.359
on to the Padre. Pottery has been keeping this file
1874
01:29:35.399 --> 01:29:37.159
ever since he found out Booth was running his own
1875
01:29:37.199 --> 01:29:40.640
drug cartel, a dealing Padre believes that even McLoughlin doesn't
1876
01:29:40.680 --> 01:29:45.079
know about. Question at this point is which neither Machete
1877
01:29:45.159 --> 01:29:47.319
nor Padre have any idea on at the moment, is
1878
01:29:47.359 --> 01:29:49.920
why Booth would hire Machete to kill McLoughlin. At the
1879
01:29:50.000 --> 01:29:54.359
Senator's Boot's own boss Pottery tells Machete that his presence
1880
01:29:54.399 --> 01:29:57.319
and the church isn't safe for Pottery himself.
1881
01:29:57.520 --> 01:29:58.880
Yeah, He's like, you gotta get the fuck out.
1882
01:29:59.239 --> 01:29:59.439
Yeah.
1883
01:30:00.039 --> 01:30:03.560
I'm like, you're fine, I get it. I'm not Please leave,
1884
01:30:03.680 --> 01:30:05.000
it's not safe for you to be here. He's like,
1885
01:30:05.039 --> 01:30:06.640
what do you mean, no, no, it's not safe for
1886
01:30:06.760 --> 01:30:10.439
me for you to be here. It's a great line, excellent.
1887
01:30:10.640 --> 01:30:10.840
Yeah.
1888
01:30:12.039 --> 01:30:15.199
So he gives Machete a hurried, tossed off church absolution
1889
01:30:15.399 --> 01:30:18.920
and ushers him out. But its Machete leaves tells Pottery
1890
01:30:18.960 --> 01:30:21.840
he's borrowing his car a hearse that Pottery keeps for
1891
01:30:21.880 --> 01:30:23.720
a side business funerals.
1892
01:30:24.720 --> 01:30:27.880
Yeah, and and nice little detail like, uh, there's like
1893
01:30:28.039 --> 01:30:30.680
monitors or whatever right at his house and they're.
1894
01:30:30.479 --> 01:30:33.279
All uh billttle CRT monitors. Yeah, they're set up in
1895
01:30:33.359 --> 01:30:34.399
like across yep.
1896
01:30:34.520 --> 01:30:37.000
Yep, Yeah, just a bunch of little PVMs just like
1897
01:30:37.920 --> 01:30:38.600
set up. Yeah.
1898
01:30:38.720 --> 01:30:42.279
Feels quick essentially like Robert totally that. Yeah.
1899
01:30:43.399 --> 01:30:46.239
Then Machete goes to boots house. He arrives in the hearse.
1900
01:30:46.359 --> 01:30:48.399
The hearse just pulls up right at the front. It's
1901
01:30:48.399 --> 01:30:50.680
got the big like orange siren on the top and
1902
01:30:50.760 --> 01:30:52.840
everything just could not be more of a hearse if
1903
01:30:52.880 --> 01:30:56.720
it tried, you know. He finds his way to the shed,
1904
01:30:56.880 --> 01:30:59.560
grabs some gardening tools so he can post a hired gardener.
1905
01:31:00.520 --> 01:31:01.840
Oh yeah, this is a good scene.
1906
01:31:01.880 --> 01:31:02.079
Yeah.
1907
01:31:02.079 --> 01:31:04.720
Two of boots guards let him past, directing him tour
1908
01:31:04.760 --> 01:31:08.119
of the backyard to clean up there. Uh, And as
1909
01:31:08.239 --> 01:31:11.199
Machete goes on his way, the guards resume their idle conversation.
1910
01:31:11.439 --> 01:31:14.319
One is sardonic about how people let any Mexican person
1911
01:31:14.399 --> 01:31:17.079
into their home when they're carrying gardening tools, but in
1912
01:31:17.159 --> 01:31:19.960
fact they could also have a chainsaw or a machete.
1913
01:31:21.840 --> 01:31:24.640
Oh shit, yeah, they're just like, why do the clipboard
1914
01:31:24.680 --> 01:31:26.319
and the vest? Right? Yeah?
1915
01:31:27.000 --> 01:31:28.920
The guards whirl around just in time for one of
1916
01:31:28.960 --> 01:31:32.760
them get whacked by a throwne tool. Machete knocks both
1917
01:31:32.800 --> 01:31:33.439
the guards out.
1918
01:31:34.039 --> 01:31:34.159
Uh.
1919
01:31:35.039 --> 01:31:40.119
I think this is when he's like, uh, death by million,
1920
01:31:40.159 --> 01:31:43.319
because yeah, you know this string turmer is probably hurt.
1921
01:31:43.399 --> 01:31:45.920
I'm just saying, yeah, you're not gonna die from it,
1922
01:31:45.960 --> 01:31:47.399
but it's gonna it's gonna.
1923
01:31:47.199 --> 01:31:48.079
Piss you off. Yeah.
1924
01:31:48.840 --> 01:31:51.000
MACHETI knocks the guards out, ties them up, dump them
1925
01:31:51.000 --> 01:31:53.359
in the in the high foliage around the front yard,
1926
01:31:54.479 --> 01:31:57.199
finds his way to the swimming pool, where April is
1927
01:31:57.199 --> 01:31:59.600
setting up a hidden video camera to shoot more footage
1928
01:31:59.600 --> 01:32:01.960
for her out with someone to post on the internet,
1929
01:32:02.840 --> 01:32:05.960
and this time her mother June, is going to join.
1930
01:32:05.800 --> 01:32:06.680
In for a threesome.
1931
01:32:07.600 --> 01:32:09.800
So April and June note that Matchete is not the
1932
01:32:10.000 --> 01:32:13.560
usual usual gardener, but deciding that he looks more than
1933
01:32:13.640 --> 01:32:15.000
ruggedly handsome enough, they.
1934
01:32:14.960 --> 01:32:16.199
Invite him into the pool.
1935
01:32:16.760 --> 01:32:19.800
Machete is shown holding a bottle of Scorpion tequila before
1936
01:32:19.840 --> 01:32:20.800
he starts undressing.
1937
01:32:21.439 --> 01:32:23.479
I can't believe my man, Danny trey Hill is used
1938
01:32:23.520 --> 01:32:27.720
like a piece of meat like that for Internet clout.
1939
01:32:28.000 --> 01:32:31.000
It was in the trailer, you know, so just saying,
1940
01:32:31.119 --> 01:32:34.119
all right, I guess I can believe it. Then yeah, Machete.
1941
01:32:33.800 --> 01:32:35.760
Gets in the pool making out with both April and
1942
01:32:35.880 --> 01:32:38.920
June He's hadn't seen, taking the video camera and depositing
1943
01:32:38.960 --> 01:32:41.720
April and June, both still naked and now unconscious from
1944
01:32:41.720 --> 01:32:44.520
the drug tequila, into the back of the hearse.
1945
01:32:44.560 --> 01:32:46.479
Yeah, whenever he approached him, he had like a bottle
1946
01:32:46.520 --> 01:32:50.720
of liquor. Yeah he had. He recovered roughly half a
1947
01:32:50.760 --> 01:32:51.479
bottle of liquor.
1948
01:32:51.600 --> 01:32:52.319
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1949
01:32:53.239 --> 01:32:56.680
He goes to Boots office and steals a number of CDRs,
1950
01:32:56.840 --> 01:33:00.359
which he knows contained a lot of sensitive information. All
1951
01:33:00.479 --> 01:33:02.680
he finds that they are encrypted, so he cannot access
1952
01:33:02.760 --> 01:33:05.720
them and view them on Boosts laptop. Finally, he puts
1953
01:33:05.800 --> 01:33:08.720
the video camera with a sticky note saying watch me
1954
01:33:09.079 --> 01:33:10.079
into the box where.
1955
01:33:09.960 --> 01:33:11.279
Booth kept the DVDs.
1956
01:33:12.000 --> 01:33:12.880
Yep, I love that.
1957
01:33:12.880 --> 01:33:14.880
That's such a great, great moment.
1958
01:33:15.600 --> 01:33:18.039
And his freaking his password. I don't think we're not
1959
01:33:18.159 --> 01:33:19.079
there just yet.
1960
01:33:18.920 --> 01:33:21.319
But such a weird yeah, totally.
1961
01:33:22.159 --> 01:33:22.279
Uh.
1962
01:33:22.520 --> 01:33:25.039
Machete brings the still unconscious April and June to the
1963
01:33:25.159 --> 01:33:28.640
church Patdre's incense, but is reluctant for Machete simply dumped
1964
01:33:28.640 --> 01:33:31.079
the two women in the street Somewhere. He's like, the
1965
01:33:31.199 --> 01:33:34.960
church could always use, you know, some some more people. Yeah,
1966
01:33:35.760 --> 01:33:39.039
some A very cheach Marin type response, right, some super
1967
01:33:39.079 --> 01:33:42.119
hot naked ladies in the back. I mean we could
1968
01:33:42.159 --> 01:33:43.039
use the extra hand.
1969
01:33:43.119 --> 01:33:45.560
Yeah, we could probably find something for him to do. Yeah,
1970
01:33:45.600 --> 01:33:46.279
sure yeah.
1971
01:33:47.279 --> 01:33:51.399
Booth arrives home, disconcerted at finding the whole house seemingly unoccupied.
1972
01:33:51.840 --> 01:33:54.399
He goes to his office and sees the DVD box open,
1973
01:33:54.800 --> 01:33:56.920
finds the video camera, and plays the footage as the
1974
01:33:57.000 --> 01:33:59.800
note directs them to. Shocked and horrified as he sees
1975
01:33:59.840 --> 01:34:02.279
the footage of April and June making out with Machete,
1976
01:34:02.960 --> 01:34:07.560
boots cell phone rings, thinking it's Machete, he furiously demands
1977
01:34:07.600 --> 01:34:10.479
to know where his family is. The call, however, is
1978
01:34:10.560 --> 01:34:13.640
from o Cyrus. He's found out about Padre and his
1979
01:34:13.800 --> 01:34:19.640
relation to machete. Cut to the next propaganda commercial. Re
1980
01:34:19.720 --> 01:34:23.399
election TV commercial for McLoughlin has shown exploiting the shooting
1981
01:34:23.520 --> 01:34:28.039
for sympathy votes. That's interesting in this troubled time, isn't it.
1982
01:34:29.000 --> 01:34:31.680
The narration mentions that after taking a vow to defend
1983
01:34:31.720 --> 01:34:35.199
the state constitution, he now also has taken a bullet
1984
01:34:35.319 --> 01:34:35.600
for it.
1985
01:34:36.960 --> 01:34:43.039
So I gotta say there's another political he's oddly.
1986
01:34:42.840 --> 01:34:47.520
Familiar to, not even a fucking scar on his ear.
1987
01:34:47.560 --> 01:34:47.840
I'm just.
1988
01:34:49.600 --> 01:34:53.359
So nighttime at the hospital where McLoughlin is still recovering,
1989
01:34:53.720 --> 01:34:56.159
gets a call on his cell phone he's been keeping hidden.
1990
01:34:56.279 --> 01:34:56.800
It's Vaughn.
1991
01:34:57.680 --> 01:34:59.880
Vaughn has heard that McLoughlin has a problem that Von
1992
01:35:00.079 --> 01:35:03.880
can help fix. Despite the clear business relationship between McLoughlin
1993
01:35:03.880 --> 01:35:06.439
and Vaughn, their civil relationship is not quite so cordial.
1994
01:35:06.880 --> 01:35:09.800
McLoughlin needs to keep it any hint that he's ever
1995
01:35:09.880 --> 01:35:12.640
spoken Von at all, quiet and under wraps lest Vaughn's
1996
01:35:12.680 --> 01:35:15.520
bad reputation is a border vigilante rub off on him.
1997
01:35:17.840 --> 01:35:20.079
Oh yeah, we would not like that image being spread
1998
01:35:20.119 --> 01:35:20.399
out there.
1999
01:35:20.560 --> 01:35:23.279
Yeah, that sounds kind of familiar, especially considering that like
2000
01:35:23.600 --> 01:35:28.399
the main guy like recently quote unquote retired. But that's
2001
01:35:28.399 --> 01:35:32.000
a whole different thing. So Von's talking to his right
2002
01:35:32.079 --> 01:35:35.920
hand man Billy about the shooter. Von knows he's gone underground.
2003
01:35:36.000 --> 01:35:40.399
He tells Billy that he has to find that he
2004
01:35:40.439 --> 01:35:42.359
has a way to find him and find the network.
2005
01:35:42.479 --> 01:35:44.319
He says they need to call their special friend and
2006
01:35:44.439 --> 01:35:46.640
ask him to send a lot of heavy firepower if
2007
01:35:46.680 --> 01:35:49.760
he's serious about wanting the border shut down. A monitor
2008
01:35:49.840 --> 01:35:53.359
near Vaughn lights up to show his special friend. It's Torres.
2009
01:35:54.359 --> 01:35:58.199
Of course, of course, Machete brings all the evidence he
2010
01:35:58.279 --> 01:36:01.439
has on Booth to Sartana plays them on her laptop.
2011
01:36:01.680 --> 01:36:03.319
One video shows footage.
2012
01:36:03.399 --> 01:36:04.840
One shows video footage.
2013
01:36:04.439 --> 01:36:07.800
Of Booth explaining the assassination idea of all people to Padre,
2014
01:36:09.079 --> 01:36:11.840
motive is set up. Motive for the setup is finally revealed.
2015
01:36:12.359 --> 01:36:15.039
If an assassination attempt on the Senator by a Mexican
2016
01:36:15.159 --> 01:36:17.720
was foiled and mcglofflin ended up with only a flesh
2017
01:36:17.760 --> 01:36:20.800
woe in the leg, enough public sympathy would be generated
2018
01:36:20.840 --> 01:36:23.239
to not only get mcgofflin reelected, but even become a
2019
01:36:23.359 --> 01:36:27.560
viable White House candidate. So this is I think we're
2020
01:36:27.560 --> 01:36:31.880
we're talking about with the the password part. Oh yes,
2021
01:36:32.640 --> 01:36:37.920
where they can't access the encrypted subfolders, but the confessional
2022
01:36:38.079 --> 01:36:41.840
contains a hint to the password, so Machete types in uh.
2023
01:36:42.479 --> 01:36:46.359
He looks at the footage revealing boots twisted sexual desires
2024
01:36:46.399 --> 01:36:49.600
for his daughter and guesses the password because they try
2025
01:36:49.640 --> 01:36:52.960
April first. It doesn't work, so he tries I Heart
2026
01:36:53.119 --> 01:36:57.560
or April and it unlocks instantly, of course gross, so
2027
01:36:57.760 --> 01:37:01.119
instantly the encrypted file snap opens. Tana's astonished at what
2028
01:37:01.199 --> 01:37:05.159
they reveal. Everything comes together now, the partnerships between McLoughlin
2029
01:37:05.239 --> 01:37:08.920
and Booth von Jackson and Tores Macheti's grim as you
2030
01:37:08.960 --> 01:37:11.359
find out. As he finds out that Taurus is the
2031
01:37:11.439 --> 01:37:15.920
kingpin behind everything, Tartana finds that Taurus is funding mcgloughlin's
2032
01:37:15.920 --> 01:37:18.760
re election campaign because he actually wants the electrode border
2033
01:37:18.840 --> 01:37:22.800
fence built. But the DVD also shows special weak spots
2034
01:37:22.840 --> 01:37:25.760
along the fence, spots that would allow Torres to gain
2035
01:37:25.880 --> 01:37:29.199
complete monopoly control over all legal drugs.
2036
01:37:28.840 --> 01:37:31.159
Being run from Mexico into the United States.
2037
01:37:32.359 --> 01:37:33.479
That's interesting, isn't it.
2038
01:37:34.119 --> 01:37:38.920
Yep, So Sarta bears right there, we cannot let that happen.
2039
01:37:39.000 --> 01:37:42.159
Right, Sartana drinks as she puts the whole plot together,
2040
01:37:42.319 --> 01:37:45.640
and by the time everything is figured out, she becomes intoxicated.
2041
01:37:46.239 --> 01:37:48.479
Machete takes her shoes off her feet and lays her
2042
01:37:48.520 --> 01:37:50.840
in her bed sleepily. She invites him to come lay
2043
01:37:50.880 --> 01:37:54.159
with her. Machete slowly takes off his leather jacket gets
2044
01:37:54.199 --> 01:37:56.880
into bed, which you thought you.
2045
01:37:56.920 --> 01:37:59.039
Thought he was sleeping with her. I'm like, he's a gentleman.
2046
01:37:59.119 --> 01:37:59.800
It's not well.
2047
01:38:00.079 --> 01:38:02.319
She had like come on, and then she's He's like, no,
2048
01:38:02.439 --> 01:38:05.479
you're too drunk. But then he, like you know, gentlemanly
2049
01:38:05.640 --> 01:38:06.760
comes and laid her down.
2050
01:38:06.960 --> 01:38:10.479
She just wants somebody. She just wants some companionship, you know.
2051
01:38:10.720 --> 01:38:10.920
Yeah.
2052
01:38:10.960 --> 01:38:12.960
But after turning her down for some like stuff in
2053
01:38:13.000 --> 01:38:15.279
the other room, laying her down, she offers like, hey,
2054
01:38:15.319 --> 01:38:17.159
come to lad laid but and then he does lay
2055
01:38:17.199 --> 01:38:17.720
down with her.
2056
01:38:17.800 --> 01:38:22.239
So I'm like, diddy nope, diddy nope. So Louise is
2057
01:38:22.279 --> 01:38:25.319
closing in uh or Lucy's closing locking up her garage
2058
01:38:25.399 --> 01:38:29.199
when she's confronted by Vaughn and Billy. Vaughn believes that
2059
01:38:29.439 --> 01:38:31.960
Luis is behind the shooting of McLoughlin. He's found out
2060
01:38:32.039 --> 01:38:33.960
she's with the network and believes she's at the head
2061
01:38:34.000 --> 01:38:37.600
of practically all of McLoughlin's problems. Louise tells Vaughn that
2062
01:38:37.680 --> 01:38:39.920
she doesn't work that way, but if Vaughn wants a war,
2063
01:38:40.319 --> 01:38:43.319
she'll give him one. Vaughn suggests instead of an eye
2064
01:38:43.399 --> 01:38:46.680
for an eye, before pulling his gun out and shooting
2065
01:38:46.760 --> 01:38:49.720
Lose right in her eye, leaving her barely alive and
2066
01:38:49.840 --> 01:38:54.560
clinging to life in the road. So Osiris enters the
2067
01:38:54.680 --> 01:38:58.359
church with the Henchman very much. We were talking about
2068
01:38:58.359 --> 01:39:00.600
when we were watching the movie. Out of the four
2069
01:39:00.640 --> 01:39:03.800
Henchmen walking into the church is kind of like Rodriguez
2070
01:39:03.920 --> 01:39:07.239
is homage to Tarantino in Kill.
2071
01:39:07.159 --> 01:39:07.800
Bill Part two.
2072
01:39:08.359 --> 01:39:11.159
Yeah, when the Deadly Viper assassination squad is walking into
2073
01:39:11.199 --> 01:39:12.279
the church in the beginning this.
2074
01:39:12.399 --> 01:39:14.840
Movie, it felt like very thematically like Kill Bill with
2075
01:39:15.319 --> 01:39:18.640
freaking Steven Sagal being Bill basically and kind and Danny's
2076
01:39:18.640 --> 01:39:20.600
trayo on like the Bride kind.
2077
01:39:20.479 --> 01:39:21.720
Of yeah, kind of yeah.
2078
01:39:22.159 --> 01:39:24.960
It just that's again this time period of movies in
2079
01:39:25.000 --> 01:39:28.000
which these two were kind of riffing on each other
2080
01:39:28.159 --> 01:39:31.239
making movies, you know, and including each other in different
2081
01:39:31.439 --> 01:39:34.279
homages like that's cool. You don't see that as much
2082
01:39:34.279 --> 01:39:36.960
anymore these days, but if you know the history of
2083
01:39:37.000 --> 01:39:38.920
it's just like an extra little Easter egg, right.
2084
01:39:39.119 --> 01:39:39.319
Yeah.
2085
01:39:40.079 --> 01:39:44.680
So Padre sees the henchman coming on the security camera
2086
01:39:45.159 --> 01:39:49.560
he's installed, Knowing immediately this men are bad news, Podrey
2087
01:39:49.600 --> 01:39:52.640
grabs two loaded high powered shotguns. Another shot from the
2088
01:39:52.680 --> 01:39:54.399
trailer here is he grabs them out of the trunk,
2089
01:39:55.399 --> 01:39:58.000
getting ready to put his former skills in ex federal
2090
01:39:58.199 --> 01:40:03.520
A to the test. So this is the one part
2091
01:40:03.600 --> 01:40:06.319
from the trailer where he's got the guy on the ground.
2092
01:40:06.359 --> 01:40:08.199
The guy's Hi, please have mercy, and he's like.
2093
01:40:08.720 --> 01:40:12.239
God has mercy. I don't bloats his head off. Like
2094
01:40:12.319 --> 01:40:13.039
what a great line.
2095
01:40:13.279 --> 01:40:15.439
Again, just think that was the ship that when we
2096
01:40:15.520 --> 01:40:17.520
saw the trailer, Like, yes, I cannot wait for this
2097
01:40:17.640 --> 01:40:18.279
movie for.
2098
01:40:18.319 --> 01:40:20.399
Really it's like on level of like, okay, Gods for
2099
01:40:20.479 --> 01:40:20.840
the Lord.
2100
01:40:21.319 --> 01:40:22.600
Yeah, totally totally.
2101
01:40:22.680 --> 01:40:22.880
Yeah.
2102
01:40:23.760 --> 01:40:26.039
Knowing the layout of the church grounds far better than
2103
01:40:26.079 --> 01:40:28.720
the would be assassins, Padre gains the element of surprise
2104
01:40:28.840 --> 01:40:32.199
and takes out all the henchmen, leaving Osiris alone against him,
2105
01:40:32.600 --> 01:40:35.720
or so Padre thinks. Padre nearly gets the drop on
2106
01:40:35.800 --> 01:40:38.039
o Cyrus as well, but his leg is suddenly gravely
2107
01:40:38.079 --> 01:40:41.159
wounded by a firearm blast coming from Booth, who coolly
2108
01:40:41.239 --> 01:40:45.520
walks in and greets Padre sardonically. Lots of sardonic greetings
2109
01:40:45.560 --> 01:40:46.079
in this movie.
2110
01:40:46.319 --> 01:40:48.479
Yeah, that's like I've not heard that word in a
2111
01:40:48.520 --> 01:40:54.520
long time. I've heard it three times tonight, right, sardonically too. Sorry, Yeah,
2112
01:40:54.640 --> 01:40:56.319
I don't even I'm not gonna say it again. I
2113
01:40:56.640 --> 01:40:59.439
fuel to the fire. I'm gonna stop sounding like a
2114
01:40:59.479 --> 01:41:01.079
word if I anymore.
2115
01:41:02.159 --> 01:41:02.199
So.
2116
01:41:02.319 --> 01:41:05.399
Booth and Osyrus crucify Padre, nailing his arms to the
2117
01:41:05.479 --> 01:41:09.680
cross at the church's altar, interrogating him to learn Machete's whereabouts.
2118
01:41:10.239 --> 01:41:12.439
Padre is a guess at the thought that Booth hates
2119
01:41:12.520 --> 01:41:15.840
Mexican people that much, but Booth denies this. It's all
2120
01:41:15.880 --> 01:41:18.960
about money and profit. A more secure border that only
2121
01:41:19.079 --> 01:41:22.079
Torres knows how to circumvent, limits drug supply and drives
2122
01:41:22.159 --> 01:41:25.640
prices up. Always about fucking money, dude.
2123
01:41:26.039 --> 01:41:30.359
This is just breaking news today. So like it's very
2124
01:41:30.479 --> 01:41:33.199
much like ah wish washy roller coaster thing slight side
2125
01:41:33.279 --> 01:41:36.119
quest here, But did you hear about like the horror
2126
01:41:36.119 --> 01:41:38.880
moves ceasefire? A little bit?
2127
01:41:38.960 --> 01:41:40.600
I had there was a horror moo SI's fire going
2128
01:41:40.640 --> 01:41:42.640
on right now, Like you know, the horror moones have
2129
01:41:42.720 --> 01:41:45.279
been like closed straight, Horney has been closed. Iran's like,
2130
01:41:45.279 --> 01:41:47.079
we're not gonna do it. You've been crazy baster. Then
2131
01:41:47.119 --> 01:41:50.279
Trump is like, well, blow up your entire civilization if
2132
01:41:50.319 --> 01:41:52.680
you don't open it up. And now there's a ceasefire.
2133
01:41:52.800 --> 01:41:55.560
And then like right after Trump has done this crazy
2134
01:41:55.880 --> 01:41:59.319
like war and Iran like unjustly, he's like, hey, Iran,
2135
01:42:00.079 --> 01:42:02.640
we open it up, and uh, you and I both
2136
01:42:02.720 --> 01:42:04.680
start charging people to use this straight we go to
2137
01:42:04.840 --> 01:42:05.600
business together.
2138
01:42:05.680 --> 01:42:07.840
How about that? Chief? It's like you just killed their
2139
01:42:08.000 --> 01:42:10.039
entire family. Now you just want to go into business
2140
01:42:10.119 --> 01:42:10.800
over there with them.
2141
01:42:10.920 --> 01:42:12.319
It's always about fucking money.
2142
01:42:12.439 --> 01:42:14.560
So like this literally what we're describing here is like
2143
01:42:14.640 --> 01:42:17.800
evil comic book villain type shit is like in reality.
2144
01:42:17.479 --> 01:42:22.359
Now unfortunately, yeah, so, uh, I don't want to live
2145
01:42:22.399 --> 01:42:23.680
on this plane, right Yeah.
2146
01:42:24.640 --> 01:42:27.760
Even mcloffin himself doesn't know that Boots about Boot's connection
2147
01:42:27.840 --> 01:42:30.640
to Torres and being so heavily involved in the drug trade.
2148
01:42:31.159 --> 01:42:33.399
Booth gives Padre one last chance to tell him where
2149
01:42:33.439 --> 01:42:36.520
Machete is, but Padre tells him nothing, knowing he's dead.
2150
01:42:36.600 --> 01:42:39.520
Either way, driving morenails in as hard as he and
2151
01:42:39.600 --> 01:42:41.920
o Cyrus can booth gives Padre his death.
2152
01:42:42.760 --> 01:42:46.039
I respect that man going down, yep, like with his honor.
2153
01:42:46.359 --> 01:42:47.239
Yep, yep, yep.
2154
01:42:47.960 --> 01:42:51.279
So Donad wakes up sober, finding herself snuggling with machete
2155
01:42:51.399 --> 01:42:53.840
and surprised at it. She hears to check all our clothes,
2156
01:42:53.880 --> 01:42:56.279
sighing with the relief seeing that he did not take
2157
01:42:56.319 --> 01:42:59.159
advantage of her while she was drunk. It's finally at
2158
01:42:59.239 --> 01:43:02.119
that realization she turns over and snuggles again, putting her
2159
01:43:02.159 --> 01:43:03.199
head back on his shoulder.
2160
01:43:03.680 --> 01:43:05.439
I have a slight side quest here.
2161
01:43:06.039 --> 01:43:08.479
Jessica Albo is one of those very like first girls
2162
01:43:08.520 --> 01:43:10.880
I remember being like an it girl growing up, Like
2163
01:43:10.920 --> 01:43:15.319
I would say, you know, Jessica Albert or not just sorry,
2164
01:43:15.680 --> 01:43:18.880
what's her name? Gosh, I can see her, Megan Fox.
2165
01:43:19.000 --> 01:43:21.159
You know, she was like a hot girl for a while.
2166
01:43:21.319 --> 01:43:24.640
Jessica Albos like the earliest one that I can remember. Okay, yeah,
2167
01:43:24.760 --> 01:43:26.760
what about you, Wes, what's the who's the first, like,
2168
01:43:27.479 --> 01:43:30.439
you know, hot it girl that you can remember coming around?
2169
01:43:30.880 --> 01:43:34.159
Uh, Jennifer Connelly career opportunities?
2170
01:43:34.239 --> 01:43:36.960
Good answer, Yeah, she was. She was super hot.
2171
01:43:37.279 --> 01:43:43.039
Yeah, yeah, and then Requiem for a Dream and it's like, oh, okay, yeah,
2172
01:43:43.359 --> 01:43:44.720
if you haven't seen that, you should watch it.
2173
01:43:45.720 --> 01:43:50.000
On the list put her on the list, so right, yeah.
2174
01:43:50.600 --> 01:43:54.199
Uh, Machete slowly awakens and starts to roll Sartana off
2175
01:43:54.239 --> 01:43:57.119
of him. She's reluctant, but Machette is not being merely
2176
01:43:57.199 --> 01:43:59.880
modest this time. He sees silhouettes through the curtain windows.
2177
01:44:00.279 --> 01:44:03.800
More assassins have found them. Machete and Sartana spring it
2178
01:44:03.880 --> 01:44:07.439
to action, killing all there would be slayers, Sartana winning
2179
01:44:07.479 --> 01:44:10.159
a hilariously choreographed one on one battle using a pair
2180
01:44:10.199 --> 01:44:15.119
of stiletto heeled shoes as weapons against the luchador mask
2181
01:44:15.279 --> 01:44:18.159
leader of the assassins, which is always great.
2182
01:44:18.319 --> 01:44:19.600
Yeah, bad matchup for that guy.
2183
01:44:19.800 --> 01:44:21.880
Yeah, so it's it's kind of fun to use the
2184
01:44:22.239 --> 01:44:25.239
high heels. I think at one point she uh pokes
2185
01:44:25.279 --> 01:44:28.960
out an eye with one of the heels. A lot
2186
01:44:29.000 --> 01:44:31.000
of eyes being shot and gouged.
2187
01:44:30.720 --> 01:44:34.359
Out here, Yeah, I mean, you know, but again gratuitous.
2188
01:44:34.439 --> 01:44:36.600
You know, kill Bill did that a few years before,
2189
01:44:36.760 --> 01:44:39.920
plucking eyes out, and you know, different things. So yeah, yeah,
2190
01:44:40.000 --> 01:44:40.800
it's just a thing.
2191
01:44:41.199 --> 01:44:44.119
Like literally, you got one eye left, I'll take you that, yep, yep.
2192
01:44:44.680 --> 01:44:47.359
So she pulls off the luchador masks done to recognize
2193
01:44:48.159 --> 01:44:53.279
this guy as Culebra Cruzado, an elite professional hit man.
2194
01:44:53.960 --> 01:44:56.720
Sartana and Machete realized that if he was called in,
2195
01:44:56.880 --> 01:44:59.479
then Booth knows about Sartana and is looking to have
2196
01:44:59.600 --> 01:45:04.239
her take out as well. Machete suddenly mumbles me Romano
2197
01:45:04.600 --> 01:45:05.479
and rushes off.
2198
01:45:05.359 --> 01:45:06.439
To the church with Sartana.
2199
01:45:07.680 --> 01:45:09.960
Mm hmmm, gonna be good. Yeah.
2200
01:45:10.560 --> 01:45:13.600
Staring at Padre's crucified body, Machete takes out his cell
2201
01:45:13.640 --> 01:45:17.199
phone Booth gave him. He sends Booth a stern warning
2202
01:45:17.399 --> 01:45:19.039
via text message wait.
2203
01:45:18.920 --> 01:45:21.760
Wait, wait, wait much that it don't text.
2204
01:45:23.199 --> 01:45:24.319
Much? At they don't text?
2205
01:45:25.720 --> 01:45:26.800
How do you text this thing?
2206
01:45:32.359 --> 01:45:38.000
How much that they don't text much?
2207
01:45:38.079 --> 01:45:39.680
At the end basis.
2208
01:45:42.800 --> 01:45:46.039
And just now you gotta imagine Danny Treyhill's sausage fingers
2209
01:45:46.199 --> 01:45:47.000
beating up the phone.
2210
01:45:48.000 --> 01:45:48.880
Do you on the trash?
2211
01:45:53.439 --> 01:45:55.760
The sh texts say.
2212
01:45:58.000 --> 01:46:00.159
You just with the wrong.
2213
01:46:03.399 --> 01:46:04.399
He's coming after us.
2214
01:46:04.880 --> 01:46:07.079
No, he's coming after you.
2215
01:46:07.880 --> 01:46:09.840
Yeah, correction. Yeah.
2216
01:46:10.960 --> 01:46:13.199
I love the turnaround in that it's like yeah, earlier
2217
01:46:13.279 --> 01:46:15.720
on like Machelle don't text, but it's like.
2218
01:46:16.000 --> 01:46:20.800
Okay, how do you text on this thingses.
2219
01:46:19.640 --> 01:46:22.399
He's the teenine seriously just like beating the hell out
2220
01:46:22.439 --> 01:46:22.840
of the phone.
2221
01:46:24.800 --> 01:46:29.600
I love the like how just matter of factly like, uh, Jeffy,
2222
01:46:29.680 --> 01:46:33.119
he's characters like Michelle sent me a text. He's just
2223
01:46:33.399 --> 01:46:35.640
like like the text back and forth or something right,
2224
01:46:37.119 --> 01:46:39.239
and then he's just like surprised. He's like, you just
2225
01:46:39.479 --> 01:46:41.640
fucked with the wrong Mexican, Like what.
2226
01:46:42.199 --> 01:46:43.439
Yeah, he's reading like a.
2227
01:46:45.119 --> 01:46:50.159
Right, yeah, totally so good. Uh So, Machete leaves the church.
2228
01:46:50.239 --> 01:46:52.840
Tartana glances up happens to notice a security camera that
2229
01:46:52.960 --> 01:46:57.760
she realizes caught footage of Padre's murder. Damn, So, Booth
2230
01:46:57.800 --> 01:47:00.680
receives Machete's text, knowing that Michelle is coming after him. Now,
2231
01:47:01.199 --> 01:47:04.520
Torres appears on Boot's monitor via a conference call. Behind
2232
01:47:04.560 --> 01:47:07.560
Torres has a view of the Texas Capitol Building, showing
2233
01:47:07.640 --> 01:47:10.520
that he is in Austin. He's come to kill Machette,
2234
01:47:10.600 --> 01:47:12.960
and he tells Booth that Machette's death is the last
2235
01:47:13.000 --> 01:47:16.560
thing Booth will see. In desperation, Booth tries to bribe
2236
01:47:16.640 --> 01:47:19.239
Torres by telling him about Sartana, saying that she is
2237
01:47:19.279 --> 01:47:22.319
an ice agent who is now now has enough evidence
2238
01:47:22.399 --> 01:47:25.479
on both Booth and Torres to bring down the entire operation.
2239
01:47:26.239 --> 01:47:26.600
Yikes.
2240
01:47:27.079 --> 01:47:31.199
Machete storms Booth's home, taking out the bodyguards. Bodyguard chief
2241
01:47:31.239 --> 01:47:34.159
hands Machete a GPS device that will lead Machete right
2242
01:47:34.199 --> 01:47:37.279
to McLoughlin's limo, and Booth is with the senator now
2243
01:47:37.520 --> 01:47:39.439
he's due to be released from the hospital.
2244
01:47:39.520 --> 01:47:41.560
It's like when you're getting the ope key items at
2245
01:47:41.560 --> 01:47:43.279
the end of the game, right, yeah.
2246
01:47:43.520 --> 01:47:45.439
You kill the one guard that's got the key card
2247
01:47:45.479 --> 01:47:45.880
that you need.
2248
01:47:46.119 --> 01:47:48.000
Mm hm yeah, it's like this whole time. Sound of
2249
01:47:48.039 --> 01:47:49.159
a bitch, yep, yep.
2250
01:47:50.079 --> 01:47:52.720
Sartana's on the phone with her boss Jonas, telling him
2251
01:47:52.840 --> 01:47:56.319
all about the conspiracy she's uncovered. She listens in complete
2252
01:47:56.359 --> 01:47:59.680
disbelief as Jonas rails on only about Machette being Mexican
2253
01:47:59.800 --> 01:48:02.840
and an I legal alien. Telling Jonas that she's going
2254
01:48:02.920 --> 01:48:04.920
to do what's right, she hangs up and walks up
2255
01:48:04.960 --> 01:48:08.600
to a Spanish language news building exact A Mundo, which
2256
01:48:08.720 --> 01:48:11.960
is kind of a play on the real life Telemundo
2257
01:48:12.079 --> 01:48:16.920
channel Nice. She hands over an envelope to one of
2258
01:48:16.960 --> 01:48:20.720
the news correspondents. McLoughlin is scheduled to be interviewed by
2259
01:48:20.760 --> 01:48:23.239
the press. As he's released from the hospital, he and
2260
01:48:23.359 --> 01:48:26.319
Booth argue over TV coverage of Patter's murder and that
2261
01:48:26.399 --> 01:48:29.920
appears that Machete was involved. McLoughlin is no longer buying
2262
01:48:29.960 --> 01:48:32.880
Boot's argument of Machete being a nobody and a cockroach
2263
01:48:32.960 --> 01:48:34.079
that will soon be squashed.
2264
01:48:34.600 --> 01:48:37.680
He knows Sardana handed off a package to a newsperson,
2265
01:48:37.760 --> 01:48:39.359
so she's got some scheme cooking up.
2266
01:48:39.520 --> 01:48:40.720
Hyeah, yeah, oh yeah.
2267
01:48:41.880 --> 01:48:43.960
He knows that Machete is a one man killing machine.
2268
01:48:44.000 --> 01:48:48.039
He doesn't want to be next wise, So as he's
2269
01:48:48.359 --> 01:48:50.760
being released from the hospital, McLoughlin goes to meet with
2270
01:48:50.840 --> 01:48:54.359
the press, Booth besides him. But as he's walking on
2271
01:48:54.439 --> 01:48:58.000
the steps and Booth gives him a cane, He's like, oh,
2272
01:48:58.079 --> 01:49:01.000
your cane, so that he can like immediately hunch over
2273
01:49:01.119 --> 01:49:03.399
and feign a much more serious injury to milk the
2274
01:49:03.479 --> 01:49:08.640
crowd for sympathy sell So McLoughlin launches smoothly into his
2275
01:49:08.720 --> 01:49:12.640
anti immigrant propaganda, quickly bringing out heavy artillery words of
2276
01:49:12.800 --> 01:49:15.920
terrorists and invader. Again in a post nine to eleven
2277
01:49:16.039 --> 01:49:19.600
world like this, this stuff rang true at the time,
2278
01:49:20.319 --> 01:49:23.439
for like the rhetoric that was going around right but
2279
01:49:23.560 --> 01:49:27.359
in twenty twenty six, it hits totally different because now
2280
01:49:27.399 --> 01:49:29.000
I feel like we're living through this.
2281
01:49:29.560 --> 01:49:32.720
Yep. I mean they're just using literally the same keywords again.
2282
01:49:32.880 --> 01:49:33.640
Yeah, totally.
2283
01:49:34.600 --> 01:49:37.399
The correspondent who met with Sartana is attending the conference
2284
01:49:37.520 --> 01:49:40.199
and she quickly lowers the boom on mcgloflin and Booth.
2285
01:49:40.720 --> 01:49:43.640
Press coverage quickly shows everyone video footage not only of
2286
01:49:43.680 --> 01:49:47.239
Booth murdering Padre, saying out loud that he was martyring
2287
01:49:47.319 --> 01:49:50.800
McLoughlin to get the border fence built, but also mclofflin
2288
01:49:50.880 --> 01:49:53.640
cold bloodily killing the young Mexican man and his pregnant
2289
01:49:53.640 --> 01:49:55.000
wife in the border shooting.
2290
01:49:54.720 --> 01:49:55.520
With Von Jackson.
2291
01:49:56.319 --> 01:49:59.520
Yeah, that is definitely your comeuppance mm HM.
2292
01:50:00.560 --> 01:50:03.800
McLoughlin and Booth race out of the hospital into McLoughlin's limo,
2293
01:50:03.880 --> 01:50:06.159
where they have it out in a heated exchange of words.
2294
01:50:06.680 --> 01:50:10.680
Booth furiously shouts that he was practically McLoughlin's personal Jesus
2295
01:50:10.840 --> 01:50:14.680
and virtually owns his soul. McLoughlin angrily pulls a gun
2296
01:50:14.760 --> 01:50:17.039
out and shoots Boots several times in the chest before
2297
01:50:17.159 --> 01:50:21.479
carjacking a taxi to make his escape. Machete arrives then
2298
01:50:21.560 --> 01:50:24.359
his trademark Machete, ready to carry out his own execution,
2299
01:50:24.960 --> 01:50:28.239
but finds himself late to the party, Booth mortally wounded
2300
01:50:28.319 --> 01:50:31.399
in the rear seat, and McLoughlin nowhere in sight. Like
2301
01:50:31.479 --> 01:50:35.399
a sinner making deathbed repentance, Boot tells Matchette everything he
2302
01:50:35.520 --> 01:50:38.359
needs to know about the partnership with Torres, using the
2303
01:50:38.520 --> 01:50:41.520
orchestrating shooting of McLoughlin to ensure that Torres would gain
2304
01:50:41.560 --> 01:50:44.920
complete control over the Mexican drug ring runs into the
2305
01:50:45.039 --> 01:50:48.319
United States. He begs to know where April and June are,
2306
01:50:48.720 --> 01:50:52.960
and Machete only says with god dryly remarking that he
2307
01:50:53.000 --> 01:50:55.520
won't be seeing them. In that case, Boot dies from
2308
01:50:55.520 --> 01:50:56.399
the gunshot wounds.
2309
01:50:57.359 --> 01:50:59.560
That is kind of like, I guess I won't be
2310
01:50:59.560 --> 01:50:59.960
seeing him.
2311
01:51:00.399 --> 01:51:02.800
Equal parts of epic, equal parts cheesy, Like I don't know,
2312
01:51:03.000 --> 01:51:04.640
I don't know which it's side of the line to
2313
01:51:04.840 --> 01:51:05.239
put it on.
2314
01:51:05.479 --> 01:51:07.479
It's fit like he knows where he's going. He's like,
2315
01:51:07.640 --> 01:51:08.479
I guess I won't.
2316
01:51:08.239 --> 01:51:09.840
Be seeing it. Yeah, I guess I won't see them.
2317
01:51:10.880 --> 01:51:12.319
Just dies because he's going to hell.
2318
01:51:12.479 --> 01:51:13.039
Yeah yeah.
2319
01:51:13.880 --> 01:51:16.560
April June finally wake up from their drug stupor, finding
2320
01:51:16.640 --> 01:51:19.239
himself still naked and on the office uh in the
2321
01:51:19.279 --> 01:51:22.239
office of Padre's church, June picks up the phone to
2322
01:51:22.319 --> 01:51:24.680
call for help and notify her husband, only to receive
2323
01:51:24.760 --> 01:51:27.920
the grim news that Booth is dead shot by Senator mcgloffin.
2324
01:51:29.079 --> 01:51:31.960
Staring in sick grief and anger, April fixates her gaze
2325
01:51:32.039 --> 01:51:34.199
on a nun's habit hanging on a clothing hook in
2326
01:51:34.279 --> 01:51:34.800
the office.
2327
01:51:35.880 --> 01:51:39.159
Oh nuns, what habit? I don't know, that's outfit?
2328
01:51:39.319 --> 01:51:43.079

what everyone wears a holidays a habit?
2331
01:51:47.560 --> 01:51:50.479
Yeah, just a regular nun outfit. I guess they make
2332
01:51:50.560 --> 01:51:50.920

2333
01:51:51.159 --> 01:51:55.279

Yeah, tune in for more financials. Ye.
2337
01:52:03.319 --> 01:52:06.439
So at von Jackson's compound, men are rehearsing combat drills.
2338
01:52:06.920 --> 01:52:10.319
Mcgofflin calls Vaughn, who's infuriated at TV coverage that has
2339
01:52:10.520 --> 01:52:13.159
revealed his ties to Trre as his drug cartel. Yeah,
2340
01:52:13.239 --> 01:52:17.039
your career is over, yeah, he holds mcloffin responsible mcglofflin
2341
01:52:17.039 --> 01:52:19.600
says Machete has to be smoked out and he wants
2342
01:52:19.640 --> 01:52:22.399
to personally put the bullet in Machete's head. Says he
2343
01:52:22.479 --> 01:52:25.000
is joining Vaughan as men for one last ride along
2344
01:52:26.399 --> 01:52:30.560
Daylight Yeah. Day laborers are gathered at Loose's taco stand,
2345
01:52:30.760 --> 01:52:35.319
laying reeths and memorials. As Machete arrives. Julio quickly finds them,
2346
01:52:35.399 --> 01:52:38.039
telling him that Von's vigilantes killed Loose and are now
2347
01:52:38.119 --> 01:52:42.680
after Machete. Speaking like a leader himself now, Julio tells
2348
01:52:42.720 --> 01:52:45.159
Machete that the people need him to spearhead the war
2349
01:52:45.279 --> 01:52:49.399
on Vaughn. Despite being adopted, he wants to help. Machete
2350
01:52:49.479 --> 01:52:52.560
starts to rebuff Julio's offer when Julio stuns Machete by
2351
01:52:52.600 --> 01:52:56.319
repeating Matchett's own words three years ago to his slain partner.
2352
01:52:56.880 --> 01:53:00.680
If not us, then who strongly applying the Julio's the
2353
01:53:00.800 --> 01:53:03.399
son of the partner killed at Machete's side in the
2354
01:53:03.520 --> 01:53:04.079
encounter Ra.
2355
01:53:04.159 --> 01:53:07.560
Torres three years prior. Very nice, I didn't pick up
2356
01:53:07.600 --> 01:53:07.760
on that.
2357
01:53:08.000 --> 01:53:11.640
Yeah, it's very very subtle, but kind of cool. Yeah,
2358
01:53:11.880 --> 01:53:13.880
like that line spurs him into action, you know.
2359
01:53:14.319 --> 01:53:17.880
Yes, and it's like, you know, whatever backstory may have had,
2360
01:53:18.119 --> 01:53:19.800
you know, between those two kind of feels like there's
2361
01:53:19.800 --> 01:53:20.439
a little payoff.
2362
01:53:20.560 --> 01:53:22.880
Yeah, there, your mind can fill in the blanks, right, Yeah.
2363
01:53:23.439 --> 01:53:26.520
Julio takes Machete to an auto chop shop where he works,
2364
01:53:27.079 --> 01:53:29.039
which is funny because on the on the side you
2365
01:53:29.079 --> 01:53:32.439
see the sign briefly it says Machete's chop Shop, which
2366
01:53:32.560 --> 01:53:35.439
was the name of the like the LLC that they
2367
01:53:35.560 --> 01:53:38.239
established to make the film, which is pretty hilarious.
2368
01:53:37.960 --> 01:53:40.399
And I feel like a nod to where the character
2369
01:53:41.199 --> 01:53:43.640
did a whole lot of initial debut on screen and
2370
01:53:43.720 --> 01:53:46.399
Spy Kids where he had Machete's spy shot.
2371
01:53:46.520 --> 01:53:49.680
Uh huh, same thing, same character, yep. Telling you you
2372
01:53:49.760 --> 01:53:50.239
can say.
2373
01:53:50.119 --> 01:53:53.439
It's not, but it is. I just like I'm with you.
2374
01:53:54.279 --> 01:53:58.279
Robert Rigoz can suck a bag of him the same.
2375
01:53:59.760 --> 01:54:02.239
So as coworkers have all the firepower that Loose was
2376
01:54:02.319 --> 01:54:04.800
keeping stash at her garage and are preparing for war,
2377
01:54:05.319 --> 01:54:08.640
Machete tells Julio that attacking Vaughan will lead them to Torres.
2378
01:54:09.760 --> 01:54:12.920
So Sartana arrives at the Taco Stan trying to question
2379
01:54:13.039 --> 01:54:16.159
the day laborers about Machete but the laborers, none of
2380
01:54:16.199 --> 01:54:19.039
them trusting Sartana any further than they can throw the
2381
01:54:19.119 --> 01:54:21.840
taco stan, quickly turn their backs and walk away from her,
2382
01:54:22.399 --> 01:54:24.600
until Sartana finally climbs up onto the hood of her
2383
01:54:24.680 --> 01:54:27.279
car and passionately begs the workers to join forces and
2384
01:54:27.319 --> 01:54:29.119
fight against the people who are trying to get them
2385
01:54:29.119 --> 01:54:33.039
expelled from America. Finally renouncing everything that she's worked for
2386
01:54:33.119 --> 01:54:35.479
in front of the laborers and defining the difference between
2387
01:54:35.600 --> 01:54:38.720
laws and what is right and wrong. Sartana wins over
2388
01:54:38.800 --> 01:54:41.960
the laborers and earns their respect. They shout in unison,
2389
01:54:42.319 --> 01:54:44.560
ready to organize the whole network into action.
2390
01:54:45.279 --> 01:54:48.119
Kind of a weird, brave harr moment, but yeah, it works.
2391
01:54:48.359 --> 01:54:51.239
Yeah, I mean for that character though, I mean that's
2392
01:54:51.479 --> 01:54:54.399
it's good in that moment for her to like take
2393
01:54:54.439 --> 01:54:57.319
a stand for what's right and not just hide behind
2394
01:54:57.359 --> 01:54:57.640
the law.
2395
01:54:57.760 --> 01:55:00.439
Yes, character growth, she was so like rigid and beginning
2396
01:55:00.520 --> 01:55:02.520
that she realizes the error of her ways.
2397
01:55:02.600 --> 01:55:03.119
Yep, yep.
2398
01:55:03.920 --> 01:55:06.600
None of them noticed one man congratulating Tartana on her
2399
01:55:06.680 --> 01:55:10.319
speech and likening her onto Machete, saying she's Machete's kind
2400
01:55:10.319 --> 01:55:10.680
of person.
2401
01:55:11.479 --> 01:55:11.720
Dead.
2402
01:55:12.560 --> 01:55:17.079
That man is torres No cell phones spring to life
2403
01:55:17.119 --> 01:55:20.039
all across the city. Mexican laborers spreading word is the
2404
01:55:20.079 --> 01:55:24.399
Spanish language notesious news station reports on boots murder at
2405
01:55:24.399 --> 01:55:27.239
the hands of McLoughlin after the revelation of Torres having
2406
01:55:27.319 --> 01:55:31.720
funded McLoughlin's re election campaign. At the chop shop, Julio
2407
01:55:31.800 --> 01:55:34.840
tells Machete that McLoughlin and Torres have gone to Vaughan's
2408
01:55:34.920 --> 01:55:38.479
armory to prepare prepare for battle, and that Tartana is
2409
01:55:38.560 --> 01:55:42.920
now Torres captive. Getting into cars and onto motorcycles, the
2410
01:55:43.039 --> 01:55:44.239
laborers all followed behind.
2411
01:55:44.319 --> 01:55:47.359
Machette and Julio. Get the lowriders out.
2412
01:55:47.640 --> 01:55:48.720
I love, We're going to war.
2413
01:55:49.199 --> 01:55:52.880
This is awesome, like bouncing up and down right, Machette,
2414
01:55:52.960 --> 01:55:55.960
the freaking hoistes. Machette is in the air at one
2415
01:55:56.000 --> 01:55:57.840
point like handheld.
2416
01:55:57.479 --> 01:56:00.239
High also too, Like I mean, at this point point
2417
01:56:00.399 --> 01:56:02.479
in twenty ten, I think this is where we were
2418
01:56:02.560 --> 01:56:06.239
with like car culture and like you know, custom rides
2419
01:56:06.359 --> 01:56:11.279
and you know, just like super decked out, tricked out cars,
2420
01:56:11.720 --> 01:56:15.359
right just you know, with all kinds of hydraulics and
2421
01:56:15.760 --> 01:56:18.640
crazy shit going on. So it's cool, it's cool to see.
2422
01:56:18.720 --> 01:56:21.159
And these hydraulics were like the cool ones with like
2423
01:56:21.279 --> 01:56:23.399
the one wheel and one up and shit too right,
2424
01:56:23.520 --> 01:56:24.279
right the hard ones.
2425
01:56:24.520 --> 01:56:24.720
Yeah.
2426
01:56:26.000 --> 01:56:29.880
So McLoughlin arrives at Vaughan's compound but finds the welcome
2427
01:56:30.000 --> 01:56:33.239
nowhere near as warm as he'd hoped. Considering McLoughlin in
2428
01:56:33.319 --> 01:56:36.279
the league with Mexican illegal immigrants and guilty of trees
2429
01:56:36.399 --> 01:56:40.640
against the state of Texas. Vaughan is preparing to McLoughlin executed.
2430
01:56:40.239 --> 01:56:42.279
And the execution broadcast on live TV.
2431
01:56:43.079 --> 01:56:45.640
As McLoughlin has led away, Billy orders all the other
2432
01:56:45.720 --> 01:56:47.720
men to their posts to prepare for the assault that
2433
01:56:47.800 --> 01:56:50.319
they know machete is going to lead on the compound,
2434
01:56:51.640 --> 01:56:54.199
So tied to a chair in the shed, McLoughlin is
2435
01:56:54.239 --> 01:56:55.880
forced to announce in front of a camera that he
2436
01:56:55.960 --> 01:56:58.319
has betrayed his oaths of office and deserves to die
2437
01:56:58.319 --> 01:57:02.199
as a trader. Meanwhile, the convoy of laborers turn revolutionaries
2438
01:57:02.239 --> 01:57:05.560
arrives at Vaughan's compound. Julio's car is fitted with hood
2439
01:57:05.600 --> 01:57:08.960
mounted RPG launchers that blow open the gate and take
2440
01:57:09.000 --> 01:57:11.359
out a high tower suitable for Vaughan's men to launch
2441
01:57:11.479 --> 01:57:15.680
artillery fire of their own. Naturally, Naturally, the revolutionary is
2442
01:57:15.800 --> 01:57:19.239
charged into the compound and the battle erupts slowly. The
2443
01:57:19.279 --> 01:57:21.680
battle starts to turn cheesier and camp here as the
2444
01:57:21.720 --> 01:57:25.720
reinforcements arrive for the Mexican people, Doc Felix's ambulance, his
2445
01:57:25.800 --> 01:57:30.119
two sexy nurses picking up discarded automatic weapons and commencing
2446
01:57:30.159 --> 01:57:34.279
fire on Vaughn's men nurses right and out of the
2447
01:57:34.319 --> 01:57:37.520
ambulance steps Loose, alive and well an eye patch over
2448
01:57:37.600 --> 01:57:40.079
the eye she was shot in, dressed in armed like
2449
01:57:40.239 --> 01:57:41.039
Rambo's daughter.
2450
01:57:41.239 --> 01:57:44.399
Too much plot armor, Baby, you can kill me not
2451
01:57:44.520 --> 01:57:46.039
Miche Nope.
2452
01:57:46.960 --> 01:57:49.640
Vaughn and his firing squad must postpone the execution of
2453
01:57:49.720 --> 01:57:53.319
mcgofflin and rush outside to help battle the revolutionaries loosen.
2454
01:57:53.359 --> 01:57:56.039
Some revolutionaries find their way into the shed, where Lous
2455
01:57:56.079 --> 01:57:58.680
tells McLoughlin that if he wants to live, he needs
2456
01:57:58.720 --> 01:58:02.159
to become Mexican quickly, happy to fight for whatever side,
2457
01:58:02.199 --> 01:58:05.439
we'll ensure his own survival. Mcgoffin don's denim clothes and
2458
01:58:05.439 --> 01:58:07.640
a hat similar to revolutionary attire.
2459
01:58:07.359 --> 01:58:11.800
And is given a pistol. So we're ready to go, yeah.
2460
01:58:12.119 --> 01:58:15.159
Battle quickly escalates into a hilarious blend of Rambo meets
2461
01:58:15.239 --> 01:58:19.760
the A team Vondsman slowly being decimated by the revolutionaries
2462
01:58:19.920 --> 01:58:22.239
loos and machete bagging the most.
2463
01:58:22.079 --> 01:58:25.159
Casualties, Billibo versus the A team, who would win?
2464
01:58:25.640 --> 01:58:27.600
Oh Man, that's that's a tough one.
2465
01:58:30.279 --> 01:58:33.199
Seconds ten seconds. Rainbow does have prep time. He has
2466
01:58:33.279 --> 01:58:35.560
like a day of prep time. Okay, but so does Hannibal.
2467
01:58:35.920 --> 01:58:38.279
Rambo has prep time, but the A team also has
2468
01:58:38.479 --> 01:58:39.560
the montage scene.
2469
01:58:39.680 --> 01:58:41.119
Yeah, they each have their own prep time.
2470
01:58:41.279 --> 01:58:45.399
So although Rambo has his own montage of building traps,
2471
01:58:45.560 --> 01:58:49.680
the A team kind of has their montage of building
2472
01:58:49.760 --> 01:58:52.119
the trap. So really it's probably a stale mate. In
2473
01:58:52.199 --> 01:58:54.840
the end, they both combined forces and work together against
2474
01:58:54.880 --> 01:58:55.600
the greater evil.
2475
01:58:57.000 --> 01:58:59.359
That's that's a cop out. That's every copy that's ever
2476
01:58:59.439 --> 01:59:02.439
happened in all time. I need a real answer, Wes. Look,
2477
01:59:02.800 --> 01:59:05.600
I mean, there's no way that Rambo and the A
2478
01:59:05.720 --> 01:59:08.960
team like it's a stalemate. They're both evenly matched four
2479
01:59:09.159 --> 01:59:17.159
versus one. Yeap, No, I don't I picked the third option.
2480
01:59:17.359 --> 01:59:20.800
That's the cowards answer. I'm gonna say.
2481
01:59:22.479 --> 01:59:26.239
A team wins because there's absolutely no way Rainbow can
2482
01:59:26.279 --> 01:59:27.000
predict Murdoch.
2483
01:59:28.199 --> 01:59:32.720
Okay, that's probably true, but I don't know it's hard
2484
01:59:32.760 --> 01:59:35.279
to say. But which Rambo we're talking like First Blood?
2485
01:59:35.359 --> 01:59:37.840
Are we're talking First Blood Part two? Rainbow three?
2486
01:59:39.000 --> 01:59:44.119
Uh? Rambood? I don't know. Well, yeah, first Blood is fine.
2487
01:59:44.159 --> 01:59:45.680
I don't know. Like he's pretty bad ass for the
2488
01:59:45.680 --> 01:59:47.960
first one. Yeah, I mean that's the most serious one
2489
01:59:48.039 --> 01:59:51.840
of all. Yeah, so i'd say, But still Murdoch is
2490
01:59:52.199 --> 01:59:54.319
like the wild is the ace to sleep. He's gonna
2491
01:59:54.399 --> 01:59:59.479
like just crash his helicopter into what's gonna happen. Yeah, yeah,
2492
01:59:59.800 --> 02:00:03.640
but that's not gonna kill Rambo. You can't you can't go. Yeah.
2493
02:00:04.000 --> 02:00:06.319
So anyways, yeah, it's cyclist. Yeah.
2494
02:00:06.600 --> 02:00:10.640
Anyway, Billy flees the armory with a few men, abandoning
2495
02:00:10.720 --> 02:00:13.359
the rest. McLoughlin is suddenly struck by a hearse that
2496
02:00:13.479 --> 02:00:17.199
pulls into the compound. The fallen senator isn't quite sure
2497
02:00:17.279 --> 02:00:19.479
he trusts his own senses when he sees a beautiful,
2498
02:00:19.560 --> 02:00:22.239
young Catholic nun to walk up to him, pleads with
2499
02:00:22.319 --> 02:00:25.079
her to give him last rites, thinking he's dying, but
2500
02:00:25.199 --> 02:00:28.000
the nun is April, wearing the habit she's taken out
2501
02:00:28.039 --> 02:00:31.000
from the Padre's office and ready to carry out her
2502
02:00:31.039 --> 02:00:34.600
own form of justice. She shoots McLoughlin three times in
2503
02:00:34.680 --> 02:00:37.279
the chest before picking up an automatic weapon and joining
2504
02:00:37.399 --> 02:00:40.640
the battle. Seeing that he's lost the war, Vaughan gets
2505
02:00:40.720 --> 02:00:43.159
to his jeep, gunning down a few Revolutionaries as he
2506
02:00:43.479 --> 02:00:46.399
seeks to escape the compound. He barely gets past the
2507
02:00:46.479 --> 02:00:49.239
door when he sees loses reflection in the rear view mirror.
2508
02:00:49.680 --> 02:00:53.199
It's the last thing he sees is blood splatters onto the.
2509
02:00:54.680 --> 02:00:55.319
Steering wheel.
2510
02:00:55.520 --> 02:00:56.279
Epic. Yeah.
2511
02:00:57.119 --> 02:00:59.560
Machete, however, has one last battle to fight.
2512
02:01:00.159 --> 02:01:04.159
Torres confronts him his henchwoman holding Sartana, who is bound
2513
02:01:04.239 --> 02:01:08.319
and gagged. Torres uses his katana to free Sartana before
2514
02:01:08.479 --> 02:01:11.159
ordering both women to back up and watch the duel.
2515
02:01:12.119 --> 02:01:16.840
Torres bates Machete as they battle Torres's katanas against Machet's machetes.
2516
02:01:17.479 --> 02:01:21.319
Torres speaks about their past together as Federal fellow federalies,
2517
02:01:21.439 --> 02:01:24.840
before Torres went for power instead of honor. They killed
2518
02:01:24.840 --> 02:01:27.560
a lot of bad guys together, but now Torres is
2519
02:01:27.640 --> 02:01:28.279
the bad guy.
2520
02:01:29.000 --> 02:01:32.399
You've become what you sought to destroy. It's kind of
2521
02:01:32.439 --> 02:01:34.319
true for Steven Sigall in general, isn't it.
2522
02:01:35.640 --> 02:01:39.239
Unfortunately, Yeah, I would I wouldn't say unfortunately, are talking
2523
02:01:39.239 --> 02:01:40.920
about the waistline of his or what it?
2524
02:01:41.520 --> 02:01:42.720
Well, that's just in general.
2525
02:01:42.960 --> 02:01:45.159
He only made one good movie, which was under Siege.
2526
02:01:45.520 --> 02:01:46.079
That was the first.
2527
02:01:46.119 --> 02:01:48.439
Well, okay, he executive decision was pretty.
2528
02:01:48.159 --> 02:01:49.960
Good because he dies in that one pretty early on.
2529
02:01:50.239 --> 02:01:51.760
But everything else has been shipped.
2530
02:01:51.960 --> 02:01:55.439
Was he in the Lethal Leffn movies at some point?
2531
02:01:56.159 --> 02:01:56.199
No?
2532
02:01:56.439 --> 02:01:58.720
Okay, nope. I thought he'd maybe like a villain in
2533
02:01:58.760 --> 02:02:01.880
one of them along the way. He's just a villain
2534
02:02:01.960 --> 02:02:02.520
in real life.
2535
02:02:03.560 --> 02:02:07.319
But I heard he's like still thinks he's really big
2536
02:02:07.439 --> 02:02:09.319
and like makes you know, appearances.
2537
02:02:09.399 --> 02:02:14.319
He's Russia. Yeah, like he's big in Russia for whatever. Right, Yeah,
2538
02:02:14.560 --> 02:02:15.560
super weird. Yeah.
2539
02:02:15.960 --> 02:02:19.520
So Machete makes a lunge for Torres, who disarms him
2540
02:02:19.520 --> 02:02:22.319
and throws him to the ground. He prepares to behead Machete,
2541
02:02:22.439 --> 02:02:25.600
but Machete's blade is close by. He grabs it and
2542
02:02:25.680 --> 02:02:29.279
drives it clean through Torres's middle, acting like the wound
2543
02:02:29.359 --> 02:02:31.960
is hardly serious and that he could kill Machette now.
2544
02:02:32.600 --> 02:02:36.000
Torres instead relents, tossing his katana aside and going to
2545
02:02:36.079 --> 02:02:40.399
his knees, grabbing the machete and disemboweling himself, committing harror
2546
02:02:40.520 --> 02:02:44.359
Curry in front of all the combatants. The henchwoman, sole
2547
02:02:44.399 --> 02:02:47.079
survivor of the altercation who was against the immigrants, walks
2548
02:02:47.119 --> 02:02:47.600
off alone.
2549
02:02:48.079 --> 02:02:51.359
Yeah, he straight up does this like 'tis but his
2550
02:02:51.479 --> 02:02:54.159
flush wound like Black Knight style, he like gets impaled.
2551
02:02:54.520 --> 02:02:56.119
And and by the way, that fight is like a
2552
02:02:56.159 --> 02:02:58.840
samurai duel, like very much like ends in like just
2553
02:02:58.920 --> 02:03:01.760
two strikes basic, you know, like quick moment.
2554
02:03:01.880 --> 02:03:03.520
Yeah, because you were saying you were kind of disappointed
2555
02:03:03.560 --> 02:03:03.760
by that.
2556
02:03:03.880 --> 02:03:04.960
Yeah, I was hoping there was going to be like
2557
02:03:05.000 --> 02:03:07.880
a little bit of a like a final showdown between
2558
02:03:07.920 --> 02:03:13.560
Machette and the Big bad but yeah, Torres his name Torres, Torres.
2559
02:03:13.279 --> 02:03:15.520
Yeah, yeah, and Torres leaves the game.
2560
02:03:15.840 --> 02:03:19.359
Yeah, he just freaking seriously, I think they have two exchange,
2561
02:03:19.399 --> 02:03:21.600
like two collides or something like just a handful of
2562
02:03:21.680 --> 02:03:24.840
them at that nest, and then Machette just drives in
2563
02:03:24.920 --> 02:03:27.399
Machette through him, and then he has that freaking Black
2564
02:03:27.439 --> 02:03:28.840
Knight here's but a flesh wound speech.
2565
02:03:29.159 --> 02:03:30.640
And it is a good speech though, because he's like,
2566
02:03:31.560 --> 02:03:34.960
you know, I could kill you, but then I'd see
2567
02:03:35.000 --> 02:03:36.439
you in hell, you know, I.
2568
02:03:36.520 --> 02:03:38.119
Just know you come down to get me in hell,
2569
02:03:38.159 --> 02:03:40.319
and just twisted and yeah, yeah.
2570
02:03:40.319 --> 02:03:42.279
That's pretty epic. I'm not gonna lie that's that's a
2571
02:03:42.319 --> 02:03:43.159
badass way to get.
2572
02:03:43.079 --> 02:03:46.560
It's kind of funny, Yeah, Matchette Loose and Sartana. I'll
2573
02:03:46.600 --> 02:03:49.720
climb up on car hoods as the victorious revolutionaries raised
2574
02:03:49.760 --> 02:03:51.439
their weapons and cheer in victory.
2575
02:03:52.359 --> 02:03:52.840
Let's get it.
2576
02:03:53.279 --> 02:03:54.960
In the middle of the night, at the wreckage of
2577
02:03:55.039 --> 02:03:58.319
the Armory, ex Senator McLoughlin awakens. He's been given a
2578
02:03:58.359 --> 02:04:01.760
bulletproof vest by Loose, which protected him from April's bullets,
2579
02:04:02.159 --> 02:04:04.039
though his leg and hip are still hurt from being
2580
02:04:04.079 --> 02:04:07.479
struck by the hearse new Lis on life. Using the
2581
02:04:07.680 --> 02:04:09.680
cover of night, he goes to the border looking to
2582
02:04:09.840 --> 02:04:12.520
escape into Mexico, where he's found by Billy and the
2583
02:04:12.560 --> 02:04:15.920
few survivors of Vaughn's army who escaped the compound. Not
2584
02:04:16.119 --> 02:04:19.279
recognizing McLoughlin due to the darkness and McLoughlin still wearing
2585
02:04:19.359 --> 02:04:22.720
the laborer clothing, Billy and his men gunn McLoughlin down,
2586
02:04:22.880 --> 02:04:26.079
leaving him entangled in the barb wire fence. Billy, repeating
2587
02:04:26.159 --> 02:04:29.760
mcgofflin's own quote from the border shooting, welcome to America,
2588
02:04:30.800 --> 02:04:31.359
and I.
2589
02:04:31.439 --> 02:04:34.960
Would say, from my view, he dies with a smile
2590
02:04:35.079 --> 02:04:37.279
on his face, So I think he's like, even though
2591
02:04:37.319 --> 02:04:40.039
he's dying, I feel like he feels somewhat satisfied that
2592
02:04:40.279 --> 02:04:42.680
he still has some zelops out there, kind of keeping
2593
02:04:42.720 --> 02:04:43.359
the message alive.
2594
02:04:43.640 --> 02:04:43.880
Yeah.
2595
02:04:44.439 --> 02:04:48.159
Yeah, that's a whole nother thing, isn't it. I hate it.
2596
02:04:49.680 --> 02:04:52.760
I wish he got like just shot down and had
2597
02:04:52.880 --> 02:04:55.399
no satisfaction. He's not a bad guy that deserves any
2598
02:04:55.439 --> 02:04:58.359
sort of like victory, right Yeah.
2599
02:04:59.319 --> 02:05:02.039
Cut to mache driving down the road on a motorcycle
2600
02:05:02.079 --> 02:05:04.199
and a police car pulls up behind him and blares
2601
02:05:04.239 --> 02:05:07.600
at siren. Machette stops and Tartana steps out of the car.
2602
02:05:08.159 --> 02:05:11.199
She's pulled some strings and gotten Machete legal documentation for
2603
02:05:11.319 --> 02:05:15.319
permanent resident status in America, but Machette refuses the papers,
2604
02:05:15.800 --> 02:05:17.600
saying he has no need to become a real person
2605
02:05:17.680 --> 02:05:20.760
again now that he's already a myth among Mexicans struggling
2606
02:05:20.840 --> 02:05:23.640
to make a life in America. Saying she'll ride with
2607
02:05:23.720 --> 02:05:26.960
him wherever he goes. Tartana climbs onto the motorcycle and
2608
02:05:27.079 --> 02:05:30.680
starts making out with Machete as he drives off. Fade
2609
02:05:30.720 --> 02:05:33.520
to black with a narrator giving the obligatory of course,
2610
02:05:33.560 --> 02:05:36.239
the entire world will cease to exist unless you get
2611
02:05:36.319 --> 02:05:40.199
the entire crap ton of sequels pitch plead with appropriate captions.
2612
02:05:40.800 --> 02:05:47.680
Machette will return in Machette Kills and in Machette Kills again.
2613
02:05:49.199 --> 02:05:51.880
Do you think that's where Avengers and Marvel got their shit?
2614
02:05:52.079 --> 02:05:54.359
Oh yeah, they totally ripped a machete off, son of
2615
02:05:54.399 --> 02:05:59.800
a bitch. So and that is Machette.
2616
02:06:00.319 --> 02:06:04.600
Do so, who I want Machette in the MCU right?
2617
02:06:06.600 --> 02:06:10.640
Oh no, context whip the ship out of everybody. Yeah, yeah,
2618
02:06:10.760 --> 02:06:14.079
Machete in a Deadpool film would make total sense honestly.
2619
02:06:13.880 --> 02:06:16.439
Because he likes Jimmy Kachanga's and stuff too, Like, yeah,
2620
02:06:16.479 --> 02:06:18.399
there's some crossover material.
2621
02:06:18.239 --> 02:06:19.840
Jimmy Changa, I can show you would make it.
2622
02:06:20.000 --> 02:06:21.279
I can make it a Jimmy Changa.
2623
02:06:21.520 --> 02:06:23.119
He chops his hand off, He's like, don't eat that.
2624
02:06:24.039 --> 02:06:28.239
Totally totally no movies badass though, Like it's such a like,
2625
02:06:28.680 --> 02:06:30.720
there's not movies this fun anymore.
2626
02:06:30.840 --> 02:06:33.840
No, And I again I was I was not prepared for.
2627
02:06:36.159 --> 02:06:40.000
How how differently I would interpret this film in twenty
2628
02:06:40.079 --> 02:06:40.600
twenty six.
2629
02:06:41.119 --> 02:06:45.960
So yeah, yeah, the doctor evil moments in real life.
2630
02:06:45.880 --> 02:06:48.359
It works on multiple levels if even if you don't
2631
02:06:48.520 --> 02:06:51.800
know the grindhouse side of it, you watch it like
2632
02:06:52.079 --> 02:06:55.479
and come away with a different, different interpretation of it.
2633
02:06:55.560 --> 02:06:58.800
It's like, damn, this this movie is wow. All right,
2634
02:07:00.119 --> 02:07:02.359
I can't even I can't describe it, but like it's
2635
02:07:02.479 --> 02:07:06.239
just I was I was not prepared so for for.
2636
02:07:06.239 --> 02:07:08.439
A movie it's supposed to be as non serious as
2637
02:07:08.479 --> 02:07:13.640
it is. Yeah, it's weird to have like real life feelings. Yeah,
2638
02:07:13.920 --> 02:07:16.560
but that shows like the quality of the film that
2639
02:07:16.680 --> 02:07:18.760
they that they were going for. They could have just
2640
02:07:19.479 --> 02:07:21.720
taken the easy route and just made something cheesy, but
2641
02:07:22.079 --> 02:07:24.760
like there's a there's a story here, and there's you know,
2642
02:07:26.079 --> 02:07:30.239
there's characters getting their come up and and and repenting
2643
02:07:30.359 --> 02:07:32.279
and changing and like there's a lot to it.
2644
02:07:32.880 --> 02:07:35.920
Yeah, And clearly he was very very well informed and
2645
02:07:36.000 --> 02:07:37.760
on the nose with like the message he was trying
2646
02:07:37.760 --> 02:07:39.439
to put out there on like where things were heading,
2647
02:07:39.520 --> 02:07:42.159
because we've alluded to throughout the entire episode, like we
2648
02:07:42.319 --> 02:07:42.720
got there.
2649
02:07:42.920 --> 02:07:43.119
Yeah.
2650
02:07:43.640 --> 02:07:47.600
Yeah, So how about some trivia, got some good I
2651
02:07:47.640 --> 02:07:48.880
guess some good trivia bits for you?
2652
02:07:49.079 --> 02:07:50.880
Hit me with I need to know about the hot
2653
02:07:50.960 --> 02:07:51.680
Ladies trivia.
2654
02:07:51.760 --> 02:07:53.880
Oh, we'll get there, we'll get there, hurry up.
2655
02:07:55.720 --> 02:07:58.720
So, as Robert Rodriguez tells it, After conceiving of the
2656
02:07:58.800 --> 02:08:02.039
character of Machete and tell Danny Treyo about it, Rodriguez
2657
02:08:02.079 --> 02:08:04.800
started receiving phone calls at random hours of the day
2658
02:08:04.880 --> 02:08:07.640
from Danny Treo trying to convince him to make the film.
2659
02:08:08.279 --> 02:08:10.560
One day, Robert said to Danny that he was busy
2660
02:08:10.680 --> 02:08:13.319
and asked why Danny can't just send a text message
2661
02:08:13.359 --> 02:08:17.319
instead of constantly calling, to which Danny Treo replied, Machete,
2662
02:08:17.479 --> 02:08:20.880
don't text. Brilliant Machette says this exact phrase in the
2663
02:08:20.960 --> 02:08:23.600
film top tier trivia right there.
2664
02:08:23.720 --> 02:08:25.079
That's so good, so good.
2665
02:08:25.439 --> 02:08:27.159
As soon as he heard that line, he's like, I'm
2666
02:08:27.199 --> 02:08:29.920
making this movie, and that's the first thing that's making
2667
02:08:30.000 --> 02:08:30.359
the script.
2668
02:08:30.560 --> 02:08:31.439
Yep, totally.
2669
02:08:32.119 --> 02:08:35.319
This is Danny Treo's fifth movie appearance as Machete Cortes,
2670
02:08:35.760 --> 02:08:39.399
the first four in the Spike Kids films. However, the
2671
02:08:39.479 --> 02:08:41.920
Spike Kids character in the movie's character aren't the same person,
2672
02:08:41.960 --> 02:08:44.600
as their backstories and family connections are completely different.
2673
02:08:44.800 --> 02:08:47.960
Plus again, read into that as you will as an
2674
02:08:47.960 --> 02:08:48.640
audience member.
2675
02:08:48.840 --> 02:08:52.720
So, as we've already declared on this channel, yeah that's false.
2676
02:08:52.880 --> 02:08:56.439
Yeah, So here's what's crazy, though, Rodriguez wrote the script
2677
02:08:56.520 --> 02:08:58.800
for this movie back in nineteen ninety three after he
2678
02:08:58.880 --> 02:09:03.000
wrote Desperado like it'd been it'd been like sitting around
2679
02:09:03.079 --> 02:09:06.560
and stewing for that long. So that just shows you,
2680
02:09:06.880 --> 02:09:10.279
like how how much we've been fighting these same battles
2681
02:09:10.319 --> 02:09:10.800
over and over.
2682
02:09:11.399 --> 02:09:14.199
Right, did he have any sort of working relationship with
2683
02:09:14.279 --> 02:09:17.039
Danny Treyho at that time or did that not come until.
2684
02:09:17.720 --> 02:09:22.319
Well, Danny Treo was in Desperado, so that would have
2685
02:09:22.399 --> 02:09:25.159
been about the first time that he probably worked with him,
2686
02:09:25.199 --> 02:09:27.119
and then he was in from Dustil Dawn, which would
2687
02:09:27.119 --> 02:09:28.159
have been ninety six.
2688
02:09:28.319 --> 02:09:30.640
Well, you haven't showed me Desperado. Yeah, I'm only familiar
2689
02:09:30.680 --> 02:09:31.399
with El Mariatta.
2690
02:09:31.439 --> 02:09:31.640
Yeah.
2691
02:09:31.880 --> 02:09:32.760
Yeah, we'll get there.
2692
02:09:33.840 --> 02:09:35.600
Slack Alagon, I'm sure. Yeah.
2693
02:09:36.319 --> 02:09:40.359
The two boys who hang out around Loose are played
2694
02:09:40.359 --> 02:09:42.359
by Darryl Sabara and Gilbert Treho.
2695
02:09:42.399 --> 02:09:42.760
I'm sorry.
2696
02:09:42.840 --> 02:09:47.079
Gilbert is Danny Treo's son, not Robert rodriguez son. And
2697
02:09:47.479 --> 02:09:49.279
throughout the whole film he never wields a weapon and
2698
02:09:49.319 --> 02:09:51.520
never says a word, but he's in the movie, so
2699
02:09:51.600 --> 02:09:52.000
that's cool.
2700
02:09:52.239 --> 02:09:56.159
Darryl Sabara, Yeah, that's Junie Spike kids JUNI.
2701
02:09:56.319 --> 02:09:57.880
Yeah, yeah, love it.
2702
02:09:58.560 --> 02:10:01.920
So when Sartana pulls up Matchet's file on her laptop,
2703
02:10:02.000 --> 02:10:07.439
it shows the following information. Birthname Machette Cortes, nationality Mexican race,

02:10:47.800 --> 02:10:51.079

02:11:34.159 --> 02:11:38.439
Cheap so filmed at the same time As predators in twenty,
2730
02:11:38.520 --> 02:11:41.199
ten which was originally supposed to be directed By Robert,
2731
02:11:41.279 --> 02:11:43.680
rodriguez who had to turn it down because he was
2732
02:11:43.720 --> 02:11:49.119
already slated to direct this. Film, Instead rodriguez Produced. Predators
2733
02:11:49.319 --> 02:11:52.279
he also stated in The PREDATORS dvd commentary that the
2734
02:11:52.359 --> 02:11:55.239
sets were side by side when filming the. Movie they
2735
02:11:55.279 --> 02:11:57.880
were constantly competing for, daylight as a set For predators
2736
02:11:57.920 --> 02:11:59.439
would block out the sun for most of the.
2737
02:11:59.560 --> 02:12:05.520
Day so one of The hungarian bodyguards was played by
2738
02:12:06.479 --> 02:12:09.640

Trejo brilliant so that's something that's also, like uh, yeah

Movie, yeah, yep.
2745
02:12:24.279 --> 02:12:26.840
Yep, Okay so here's the one you were talking, about
2746
02:12:26.880 --> 02:12:30.680
the the hot chicks and everything. Right Robert rodriguez said
2747
02:12:30.760 --> 02:12:33.840
in AN mtv interview that his, sister who was also co,
2748
02:12:34.119 --> 02:12:36.600
editor told him during production that he needed to add
2749
02:12:36.680 --> 02:12:37.119
more hot.
2750
02:12:37.239 --> 02:12:40.119
Chicks so he, did, well there you.
2751
02:12:40.239 --> 02:12:42.880
Go you, KNOW i don't know what TRIVIA i was,
2752
02:12:42.920 --> 02:12:45.279
expecting BUT i was not expecting the sister to, say
2753
02:12:45.319 --> 02:12:46.359
add more hot. Chicks.
2754
02:12:46.520 --> 02:12:50.840
Yeah that feels, like you, know someone At hooters gave
2755
02:12:50.920 --> 02:12:52.880
him that, tip you, know like not your.
2756
02:12:53.000 --> 02:12:53.319
Family.
2757
02:12:53.520 --> 02:12:57.199
Yeah rodriguez inspiration for the film Was John Woo's Hard
2758
02:12:57.279 --> 02:13:01.520
boiled And The, killer both classics of the genre as.
2759
02:13:01.560 --> 02:13:04.520
Well John, Woo, yes so we talked about this one.
2760
02:13:04.560 --> 02:13:07.399
Already After booth hires, machete the scene cuts to a
2761
02:13:07.439 --> 02:13:09.960
table full of weapons and, gadgets which is an homage
2762
02:13:09.960 --> 02:13:13.199
To escape From New, york in which When hawk has
2763
02:13:13.279 --> 02:13:16.960
Hired pluskin to rescue The. President so originally this movie
2764
02:13:17.079 --> 02:13:19.760
was intended as a bonus feature on The Planet TERROR
2765
02:13:19.880 --> 02:13:23.279
dvd until the decision was taken to release it, theatrically
2766
02:13:24.640 --> 02:13:28.159
so this is remains the only Steven sagall movie to
2767
02:13:28.279 --> 02:13:30.840
have a certified fresh rating On Rotten. Tomatoes his other
2768
02:13:30.880 --> 02:13:33.800
two movies with fresh ratings Are Under siege And Executive
2769
02:13:33.880 --> 02:13:35.479
Decision That's Gotta Be.
2770
02:13:35.600 --> 02:13:35.800
Rough.
2771
02:13:36.279 --> 02:13:39.640
Yeah this is also the first time Steven sagall's character
2772
02:13:39.720 --> 02:13:42.479
has lost a duel against another character in a, film
2773
02:13:42.960 --> 02:13:45.119
although it's done in a way that suggests his character
2774
02:13:45.239 --> 02:13:46.239
chose to lose.
2775
02:13:46.079 --> 02:13:49.079
Rather than getting killed. Unwillingly so that to.
2776
02:13:49.159 --> 02:13:53.039
Me says that Steven sagahal had something in his contract
2777
02:13:53.119 --> 02:13:55.319
to be, LIKE i never lose a, fight.
2778
02:13:56.760 --> 02:13:59.720
But in this, case you, know that's why he kind
2779
02:13:59.720 --> 02:14:02.199
of worked his way out of, it you. Know, yeah
2780
02:14:02.239 --> 02:14:04.760
he like chooses to, die you know, WHAT i just
2781
02:14:04.840 --> 02:14:05.159
put my.
2782
02:14:05.199 --> 02:14:07.920
Sword down because you're gonna find me, anyway and just
2783
02:14:08.000 --> 02:14:11.159
takes the easy way. Out so, again just, yeah he
2784
02:14:11.239 --> 02:14:14.720
can't even admit. THAT i, mean half the movies that he's,
2785
02:14:14.760 --> 02:14:16.800
in they speed up his fight scenes because he can't
2786
02:14:16.840 --> 02:14:20.119
even like he can't do any martial, Arts like he's
2787
02:14:20.199 --> 02:14:21.960
just a hack.
2788
02:14:22.119 --> 02:14:26.840
Fraud. Terrible kind of reminds me of, like someone please
2789
02:14:26.880 --> 02:14:28.399
fact check me on, This But i'm pretty sure The
2790
02:14:28.520 --> 02:14:30.720
rock has it in his contract that he can't like
2791
02:14:30.840 --> 02:14:32.159
lose a fight or something like.
2792
02:14:32.279 --> 02:14:38.439
That, Probably, yeah, yeah yeah it's. Lame So Steve skall is.
2793
02:14:38.479 --> 02:14:40.920
Lame that is the moral of the. Story it. Is
2794
02:14:41.720 --> 02:14:43.439
BUT i mean he works as a villain in this so.
2795
02:14:43.760 --> 02:14:47.199
Yeah but, yeah this this movie is as much like
2796
02:14:47.399 --> 02:14:50.479
political undertones as you know has charged it is in that,
2797
02:14:50.960 --> 02:14:53.720
respect it's still like a really freaking fun.
2798
02:14:53.800 --> 02:14:55.640
Movie it. Is it's a it's a great.
2799
02:14:55.760 --> 02:14:59.039
MOVIE i, Mean Robert rodriguez made entertaining, movies so like
2800
02:14:59.439 --> 02:15:02.159
you can't help but just not enjoy a film like,
2801
02:15:02.239 --> 02:15:04.840
this you, know just drink a strong beer and watch
2802
02:15:04.880 --> 02:15:07.000
it with a couple of friends and have a good
2803
02:15:07.079 --> 02:15:07.359
time with.
2804
02:15:07.479 --> 02:15:07.520
It.
2805
02:15:07.720 --> 02:15:10.039
Exactly, yes they have a twelve and a half percent.
2806
02:15:10.119 --> 02:15:14.079
Beer oh, yeah just, one, yeah, yeah specifically.
2807
02:15:14.159 --> 02:15:16.960
One and, honestly like there are a lot of moving
2808
02:15:17.000 --> 02:15:19.159
parts of the, movie but it's just like it's just
2809
02:15:19.239 --> 02:15:22.039
can't be, enough AND i, think you, know this is
2810
02:15:22.239 --> 02:15:24.199
this is definitely one where if you want to just
2811
02:15:25.199 --> 02:15:27.239
have a good, spec put a popcorn movie. On you,
2812
02:15:27.319 --> 02:15:29.560
know you don't want to think too terribly hard and
2813
02:15:29.680 --> 02:15:31.399
you just want to enjoy it for you, know all
2814
02:15:31.439 --> 02:15:33.359
the moving, parts you, know all the spectacle of.
2815
02:15:33.439 --> 02:15:37.159
It, yep it's, nice. Totally so so that's ALL i.
2816
02:15:37.239 --> 02:15:41.439
Got anything else you want to? Add can you think about? It,
2817
02:15:41.560 --> 02:15:43.279
NO i don't think. So this one is it was.
2818
02:15:43.399 --> 02:15:45.920
Fun it was like nice to go From Spike its to.
2819
02:15:46.000 --> 02:15:47.600
THIS i think that was a nice.
2820
02:15:47.640 --> 02:15:49.640
Compliment, YEAH i, mean how else AM i going to
2821

2825
02:15:59.560 --> 02:16:01.000

Much so what do you got for us on the next?
2827
02:16:02.880 --> 02:16:06.439
SHOW i Think i'm going to keep it a, surprise
2828
02:16:06.600 --> 02:16:12.000
but it's DEFINITELY i don't. Know the clue That I'll
2829
02:16:12.279 --> 02:16:15.000
i'll leave you with is it feels like my generation's
2830
02:16:15.119 --> 02:16:22.600
version Of Dark? City oh? Hmmm is It? Looper it's.
2831
02:16:22.680 --> 02:16:25.359
Not looper's a cool, movie though it is a cool.
2832
02:16:25.439 --> 02:16:29.199
Movie is It Minority? Report it's. NOT i feel like
2833
02:16:29.279 --> 02:16:30.279
that's slightly before.
2834
02:16:30.399 --> 02:16:32.920
Me maybe it's hard to.
2835
02:16:32.959 --> 02:16:37.600
Say it's two, thousands two, Thousands, OKAY i kind of figured,
2836
02:16:37.760 --> 02:16:41.440
yeah as most of my picks, Are, Yeah i'm gonna
2837
02:16:41.440 --> 02:16:43.879

revisiting these films and talking about.
2855
02:17:30.399 --> 02:17:31.840
Them this is how we'd be anyway without the.
2856
02:17:31.920 --> 02:17:37.559
Microphones so you, know hopefully you enjoy us bantering and
2857
02:17:37.680 --> 02:17:40.399
talking about these films and maybe it encourage you to
2858
02:17:40.520 --> 02:17:43.360
check them. Out because, again even if you've seen a
2859
02:17:43.440 --> 02:17:47.120
movie and it's been a long, time you, know as
2860
02:17:47.200 --> 02:17:49.680
your your taste change and you change throughout your, life
2861
02:17:49.760 --> 02:17:52.239
like sometimes it's worth going back and revisiting these things
2862
02:17:52.840 --> 02:17:55.040
and and kind of looking at them in a different
2863
02:17:55.120 --> 02:17:59.719
light because you never, know like what's gonna come true
2864
02:18:00.159 --> 02:18:01.600
versus what you thought was gonna come.
2865
02:18:01.680 --> 02:18:03.479
True, YEAH i think more.
2866
02:18:03.559 --> 02:18:07.159
So even if your taste don't change all that, much
2867
02:18:07.239 --> 02:18:09.120
sometimes the world around you change is a lot and
2868
02:18:09.200 --> 02:18:10.920
makes the movie quite a bit more. Poignant SO i
2869
02:18:10.959 --> 02:18:12.520
think this one fell into that camp.
2870
02:18:12.920 --> 02:18:14.360
TOTALLY i was not expecting.
2871
02:18:14.399 --> 02:18:16.360
That so, yeah from The grindhouse movie.
2872
02:18:16.840 --> 02:18:22.639
Exactly so, anyway that's the. Show SO i guess until next.
2873
02:18:22.600 --> 02:18:24.559
Time i've been your.
2874
02:18:24.600 --> 02:18:24.799
