[00:00:00] Reel Nerds is a proud partner of the Denver Podcast Network in the shadow of the mountains. We speak. How would you define the mile-high hustle? Well, I don't know what that is. Please tell me. Denver's changed a great deal over the past 30 years.
[00:00:18] Ten years. Five years. Heck, I've noticed some new things pop up since last month. But if you look a little closer, you can see growing businesses, new ideas and interesting people making these changes happen.
[00:00:32] So here it is, a podcast about the businesses, ideas and people shaping Denver today. And we're calling it... Mile-high hustle. Mile-high hustle. Mile-high hustle. The mile-high hustle is a grind. Working your ass off and networking like crazy in like the real way.
[00:00:49] They work like crazy so they can get the weekend off of go skiing. I think it's something different than what's going on in places like Silicon Valley. The breaks are better in Colorado.
[00:00:57] Every other week in the lead-up to Denver Startup Week, the largest free entrepreneurial event of its kind. We're releasing a new episode to help you navigate this dynamic new business landscape. How would you define the mile-high hustle?
[00:01:13] You know, I think the word hustle, I think about how hard it is to work to do anything that you've never done before or that no one's done before. Colorado continues to lead the nation in innovation and change. Mile-high hustle.

[00:03:17] And with me this week is Zach and Henry. And this week we saw 8th grade. 8th grade, yeah. No one else in our group wanted to feel awkward about our younger years. And so we're the brave ones here gentlemen.
[00:03:33] So check that out at the end of the episode where we'll review it and then we'll play the trailer and then we'll review it with spoilers. What else do we do around here? Gosh, we review DVD releases, talk about movie news, what we've been watching.
[00:03:48] And I think first we'll start with what's been going on around town. Hey film buddies, follow me around Denver. This week at the drive-in you can see Hotel Transylvania 3 followed by... My brain just stopped. Hotel Transylvania 3 followed by Christopher Robin and ending with Mission Impossible Fallout.
[00:04:19] Oh they got rid of my brain just stopped that quickly, huh? That's my favorite sci-fi movie this year. And then the Esquire at midnight this week is The Room or Rocky Horror Picture Show. So I'm going to talk about the following week which is September 1st.
[00:04:36] They are playing another movie that is Blanked On Again. Man, another movie I just blanked on. Henry, that's a Norwegian film isn't it? Oh of course. Yes, yes, no I believe Svensson Jorn Svensson is the lead star. He's a heartthrob in Norway.
[00:04:55] It was very close to winning Best Foreign Film in 2003 but eagerly lost to that other foreign film that I can't remember right now because I didn't think this joke through. Yeah but trust me it was a great one. We all know that one for sure.
[00:05:07] It was a wonderful film. You know, I mean it wasn't the lives of others or even a Crouching Tiger hit and drag him but it was pretty good. No, of course, yeah. August 31st and September 1st they're showing Money Python and the Holy Grail
[00:05:22] which is something I should have easily remembered. Ooh, am I not? So that'd be fun to watch with a crowd. Look for that in two weeks. That is a fun midnight to be sure. A swallow carrying a coconut. And yeah that's what's going on around town.
[00:05:38] Right on, right on. Henry has New York. Yeah, it's just, we've had rain, just non-stop, thundering. I woke up one morning to this like an emergency alarm going off and like lightning striking my building. I got up I was like what's going on?
[00:05:55] I checked my phone because my phone had like an emergency alert going on. I was like it's raining. And I was like I ate and just went back to bed so. You just put your phone down. Well I'll go back to sleep.
[00:06:04] You wake up suddenly it's flooded and there's an arc like right up to the window. I read that alert and it was like my apartment's on like the third floor. I was like it's not, it'll be fine. So like.
[00:06:15] Well, more is just like if something happens I die in my sleep I guess. This is fine everything's fine. Yeah. Oh boy. But anyway yeah New York it's great. We had like 18 films come out like this week for like it was like pretty much
[00:06:31] anything at Sundance that was too good to be released in April and like that month but not good enough to be like Oscar contenders. They released them this weekend. So there's like 40 films out in New York only in New York right now.
[00:06:43] Probably the one that won Sundance this year that finally got a release right? Cameron Post. Oh yeah, oh that one I'll talk about that but that one got released here like a month ago. Oh really okay. Yeah. The one that won next that's out this week.
[00:06:59] I have not seen that because I've heard it's very problematic but I'll give you my thoughts whenever I see that. Okay for sure. Cool well what do we want to do next? Do we want to spin some real news?
[00:07:11] No let's get those DVD and Blu-ray releases out of the way. DVD releases and Blu-ray! Well the big release of the week is Deadpool 2. You can get that in 4K, steelbook 4K from Best Buy, regular Blu-ray.
[00:07:29] I'm sure there's a DVD copied out there somewhere for all you people who haven't upgraded yet get with the times people. Also Ash vs Evil Dead season 3 will be coming out on Blu-ray. Final season for everyone there so we'll disappoint there's not a complete series yet.
[00:07:46] Oh we'll get one. We'll get one. I don't want it now. No putting until you eat your meat. That doesn't really work with this. Some of the back releases though. Kino Lobors putting out Deep Rising on Blu-ray so James will be happy with that.
[00:08:06] Warner Brothers Archive is putting out... oh no it's not Warner Archives. Shout Factory, Scream Factory I should say too, is putting out Straight Jacket and the Tingler. If you've never seen the Tingler it's a wonderful William Castle film with Vincent Price saying Tingler a lot.
[00:08:24] And you have to participate in the film by screaming very loud. It's awesome. On the Shout Factory front too we also have Wild at Heart, the Nicholas Cage movie directed by David Lynch. Henry a fan of Wild at Heart?
[00:08:39] It's not Mulholland Drive or... it's more accessible so if you're not a fan of David Lynch you might like that one. So it's David Lynch when he's like not trying. He's still trying. It's like Blue Velvet level.
[00:08:55] On Criterion Front they are reissuing Heaven Can't Wait, the Ernst Lubitsch film in Blu-ray form. So you can finally get that film added to your Criterion collection.
[00:09:10] Also on 4K Front you can get the Jack Ryan collection which includes all the Jack Ryan films including Jack Ryan data analyst. Which is a little nod to when we reviewed Chris Pine's turn in the character. And then yeah...
[00:09:33] Nothing like God's Not Dead 3, A Light in the Darkness. So if you wanted a third affirmation that God's Not Dead... Oh! You can get the three movie collection of God's Not Dead as well. The three pack.
[00:09:47] So if you guys were looking for that then there's your opportunity to know that God's Not Dead. And that's it pretty much on Blu-ray. Oh wait no I'm sorry, this year's release first performed with Ethan Hawke. The new Paul Schrader film is coming to Blu-ray as well.
[00:10:06] I've heard that's really really good. I have not seen it yet but I've been told I will like it. Cool. Alright, let's unspool some real news. It's real news! We'll get the sad news out of the way. James Gunn will not be rehired by Disney.
[00:10:34] They're standing by their decision as reported by Variety. James Gunn had a meeting with Alan Horn but it was more of a courtesy meeting at this point. They were going to stand by their decision regardless.
[00:10:46] So yeah, it looks like whatever Guardians of the Galaxy 3's trajectory is now extremely delayed. It doesn't even sound like from this article that they're going to use his script untarnished. They're going to rewrite this thing.
[00:11:06] So yeah, it looks like James Gunn's going to have to take one of those many many offers he's getting from other studios to make another movie. I have strong doubt that he's actually going to... Because there's a lot of people who are like, oh he'll join DC.
[00:11:22] I have very strong doubts that will happen. I don't think he has too much class for that. Like I don't think he's going to be like, fuck you Marvel then go direct Green Lantern Court. It'll be interesting to see where he goes from here.
[00:11:34] Because I mean, I don't know. It'll just be interesting. I can definitely see them going. I don't know if they're going to delay Guardians. We also don't know when Guardians are going to be released at all even with James Gunn.
[00:11:49] So it could be like it's on track still. Who knows? I honestly just don't know who they would get to be the director and have it be successful. Like at this point, I can't imagine being a Disney executive and thinking that film will be nearly a success.
[00:12:06] Like I think that film's in the same boat as Hans as the solo film was last year for them. Yeah, that's kind of the comparison I had in my mind reading the news that they weren't going to rehire him is like, well...
[00:12:19] I mean like people will go see it and knowing Disney they'll make it like a watchable film, but like it won't be on par quality or even monetarily wise with the first two in terms of how much it makes.
[00:12:33] Because I feel like there's enough bad blood in this whole situation that some people will just like shut off from it. But I don't know. Like... If Dave Patista stands by his pledge to break his contract.
[00:12:46] Yeah, and if that happens that's a whole other can of worms that gets opened in the legal department. So again like I don't know like... I thought no one was going to go see solo because everyone was like buzzing bad about it.
[00:13:00] And I mean it didn't do like last Jedi business or Rogue One business but it did fine. It did pretty poorly I would say. I mean not great. But not like... I'm not talking like it lost that studio millions and millions of dollars.
[00:13:16] Like if there's any loss in there it's like the smallest loss for that company in comparison to everything else they have coming out. So... Oh no, did you see Wrinkle in Time? That was pretty bad. So... I mean I don't know.
[00:13:30] I can't wait to see Ron Howard's Guardians of the Galaxy 3. It'll be an interesting time. Oh my god Clint Howard can be an alien. It's gonna be awesome. Oh it'd be great. Oh just you watch. Those replace Sean Gunn with Clint... Yeah, so...
[00:13:45] Sean Gunn? No. No Sean Gunn with... Wait, yes Sean Gunn with Clint Howard because of the brother motif. And your villain will be Christopher Plummer because let's just get all the replacements in while we're at it. So yeah that's unfortunately not gonna be rectified or anything but...
[00:14:03] So it goes in the movie business. Onto the theater going business. Movie Pass is being sued by shareholders after a huge quarterly loss. I mean, yeah. This fucking... this fucking company. Oh no, I'll tell you because I finally cancelled my service. Really? Really? Yeah. Oh wow.
[00:14:25] Because it got to be the point... Because like I have been a defendant in Movie Pass since the beginning. Because I've saved so much fucking money with this process and I loved it. I loved it up until the end. The end came swiftly and hard.
[00:14:37] But basically what ended up happening was like from my perspective the whole mission possible could happen where it's like you couldn't get tickets that one day. And I was like fuck it, I don't care, I'm on set so it's fine.
[00:14:48] And the next day it was like you can get tickets but just not to that movie. And I was like alright, I'll go 16 times and I did that. And then every day it seemed like it would get worse and worse until eventually it was like...
[00:15:02] Two days before I cancelled it was like hey, do you want to see Slenderman? Because that's all we're going to let you see. That was the only movie you could see with Movie Pass. And I was like no, I don't want to see Slenderman.
[00:15:13] And I was thinking that once they're going to revamp it so you can see three movies a month with it. And I thought alright, well I'll do that to see the three movies that are not at AMC. And I'll get AMCA list.
[00:15:27] And then there was the thing that was like nope, we're sticking with this thing. Where it's we're going to pick three films a month that you're allowed to see. And it's going to be Slenderman, The Spy Who Dumped Me and another film you've never heard of.
[00:15:39] And I was like well this isn't worth my Shimer money so I cancelled. And I joined A-list and it's been great. So fuck you Movie Pass, you've ruined the one good thing in my life. So you've had it for two years?
[00:15:49] One year. It's been one year since it's been out now. Okay so you've spent what, I think it's 90 bucks for a year? 90 bucks for a year but I did the math like not recently but I did the math around like a month before I cancelled.
[00:16:05] And I've saved around $700 with it. Wow. Because tickets in New York cost 20 bucks for just like a standard 2D small screen. And I see like I'm moving in theater like every other day. With Movie Pass I'm moving in theater every other day. Nice.
[00:16:24] Well because of you and other like-minded people, as of four days ago the company stock closed at a value of five cents a share.
[00:16:32] So yeah, and the suit in question by the shareholders is that the company had misled the shareholders in regarding the company's business and its prospects which I don't really feel bad for the audience.
[00:16:46] So they should have just read the news or even more importantly heard the idea of Movie Pass. To be fair, I have stock in Movie Pass still. Because back when it got really bad I was like sure I'll buy 10 cents worth of shares. Henry you're in New York.
[00:17:07] And maybe one day it'll all be worth billions. Probably not. You're in New York though right now. How far are you from- you're not near Wall Street obviously but like you're in New York. You're in New York.
[00:17:20] Do you hear that news and you just decide to repeat the Black Tuesday of Crash of the Stock Market by falling off the building? I just want to say that I probably helped that company through one more day with my 10 cents that I gave them.
[00:17:37] Can you go down to the New York Stock Exchange and just take some video of the stock ticker with Movie Pass's number just going down for us? Sure I can do that. Sweet. Also do me a favor just go in there and start selling.
[00:17:52] Sell, sell, sell, sell, sell. Not for any particular stock just say sell, sell, sell, sell. I'm pretty sure it caused the economy to crash as people were fucking insane. Oh my God. A more financial end of the news. Kevin Spacey's new movie only made $126 on its opening day.
[00:18:12] Yeah, okay yeah. That's what it made box office wise. They released it in like five feeters and they also released it on VOD predominantly so that's not what it actually means.
[00:18:24] Right so yeah of course it was never going to make like $100 million but like they're obviously pointing it out as like oh this is the last Kevin Spacey movie you're going to see for a while so and it only made $126.
[00:18:35] But yeah I guess like the total, like the two day total is $287. I just like it when they do stories about movies that only made like hundreds of dollars.
[00:18:44] But yeah this is unfair given that it's a VOD platform primarily and all that stuff but anyway I'd say that's too bad but he made his choices.
[00:18:57] We got a trailer, not a trailer but an announcement for a movie coming in February with Liam Neeson returning to the action fold called Hard Powder. Or Hard Power sorry I should say. Hard Power? It should be called Hard Powder though.
[00:19:12] And no it is called Hard Powder that's right I'm bad. But it's a remake of a Norwegian film called In Order of Disappearance that has Stonest Garsgard.
[00:19:26] The plot is a character named Nells Coxman, is a local snowplow operator recently named Citizen of the Year of his small Colorado ski town.
[00:19:42] Nells quiet life, what life with his wife played by Laura Dern is abruptly spinning out of control when their son is unjustly murdered by a local drug cartel. So he takes the law into his own hands and he uses his snowplow driver apparently.
[00:19:57] This is a movie I want to see more than anything in the world and as soon as the trailer comes out I want to play it multiple times. I have that much confidence in it. It doesn't matter if it's the dumbest thing in the world.
[00:20:07] I want Mr. Plow the movie. The director is directing the American version and also directed the original version. Yeah it says that here and I saw the trailer for the original version and it looks pretty cool.
[00:20:22] And I like Stellar Skateboard so I'm down to watch that and then compare the two. I've not seen it so I couldn't tell you. Then we both got to watch it and report back apparently. Let's see.
[00:20:38] Blumhouse says they would like to bring the dark universe back from the grave. It's just in. Blumhouse would like to make money. Yeah. Blum, well, unlike... Excuse me, can we take that back? Sorry, I'll read it. Blumhouse wants to do the dark universe back.
[00:21:00] Blumhouse would like to raise the dark universe from the grave according to the headline so they want to make money. And you know, they're smart. They could actually do the monsters pretty well. I mean, like... I don't know.
[00:21:17] Look at the past couple of movies they've done. They're doing okay. I think the silence is that only you care about this. I'm just trying to give us the news.
[00:21:29] I'm just mad because I don't know if Brad's going to do this or not, but I made a funny joke and then Zach was like, let me redo that and then he stole my joke so I'm done here. Burn. No, I'm... But anyway, looks like... It's news.
[00:21:50] Yeah, we got a picture of Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate. She looks just like her. Okay. I guess that takes us to what we've been watching. So yeah, this is the stuff we've been watching.
[00:22:04] Okay, I guess as I'm pulling my list up, I will say that like the first one I saw, Cameron Post, the one that won Sundance, I will say I was not a fan of it. I thought it was fine. There's just... there was nothing particularly good about it.
[00:22:22] Well, that's a joke. I will say, Chloe Grace Moretz... okay, back in the beginning. The message came from Cameron Post, won Sundance this year. It is a gay drama about a high school lesbian girl played by Chloe Grace Moretz,
[00:22:35] who was then sent to a gay conversion therapy camp, which is ran by John Gallagher Jr. and she just becomes friends with Sasha Lane, if you know who those people are. But yeah, it won Sundance and a funny story about this one.
[00:22:52] I was actually going to do an art house hustle for it because I had tickets for it for the Tribeca Film Festival and that's kind of what I'm doing for this now, is that whenever I go to a festival I'll do review stuff.
[00:23:03] But I got my ticket, I got my Uber, which was 30 minutes late, and then my Uber decided to just not take me to the festival. He just took me to a different location. And so I didn't see it then, so I was really mad about that.
[00:23:17] So I walked into this film already having bad memories associated with it, so I'll say that, but I will say that. It's okay. Chloe Grace Moretz is really good in it. That's probably the best performance I've seen from her in her career.
[00:23:29] I've not seen all of her work obviously, but I've seen most of it. And it's definitely her best performance. But beyond that, there's really not much else worth noting for it. I think it's just kind of okay. I'm kind of surprised honestly that at one best film,
[00:23:46] when I've seen much better films come out from Sundance this year, including Blind Spotting, Moshers and Men, I'm hell even sorry to bother you, I liked more. Anyway, that was that. It seems like that film is getting kind of overshadowed
[00:24:05] by the boy erased movie that's coming out later this year, which hasn't really had a festival presence yet either. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it hasn't been. No one's seen it yet, so I don't know. And also, I mean, this one's very indie,
[00:24:18] whereas it looks like that one has a bigger budget. And it's also made by Joel Edgerton, so he has a bit of a backstory, where this film is made predominantly by someone who has no backstory. But anyway, yeah, I saw that one.
[00:24:30] I watched Minding the Gap was the other one I watched, which is... I only watched it because on Letterboxed, it's considered like the third best film of 2018 so far, and I've never even heard of it. It is a documentary on skateboarders that's made by one of the skateboarders.
[00:24:47] It kind of chronicles about these three guys who are skateboarding friends since they were kids, and kind of follows them from like 17 to like 20. And it's about that, but then it kind of gets into the fact that they all come from or are part of domestic abuse houses,
[00:25:04] where their parents are abusive, or their fathers are abusive, or in one case, they are allegedly abusive, and it kind of deals with how they use skateboarding as a way to escape that kind of environment. It's very well done. It's made by one of the guys himself,
[00:25:19] and so it has this very like friend-based kind of feel to it. And the actual cinematography of the skateboarding is actually very well done. If you want to see it, it is a Hulu exclusive, or a Hulu original, and it's... If you're into skateboarding or documentaries,
[00:25:35] I'd check that out. I saw Mile 22, the new Mark Wahlberg Peter Berg film. Anyone else see that film? No, but... You made the right choice. Yeah, I thought so. But like, I didn't even know it was directed by Peter Berg until like Friday. So...
[00:25:55] This film makes no goddamn sense. It's funny. Break it down for me. Basically, the film, by Mark Wahlberg's own quote in the film, it is about this team of military people that when there's a problem you call the police. And when that fails, you call the army.
[00:26:15] When that fails, you call them. It doesn't really make a lot of sense, because the army can't solve it. I don't know why Mark Wahlberg can. So, Mark Wahlberg's part of this team. That's him, Lauren Cohan, Ronda Rousey, and four other tough-looking guys. And so basically,
[00:26:32] they have to escort this one guy who's like, once asylum, and the only reason why they're doing this is because he has like codes to some bomb? I guess? They never really explain it. And they're like, I guess we're just gonna do this now.
[00:26:46] It's about how they escort him to a plane to give him asylum to America and take place somewhere in Eastern Europe. But so anyway, that's the plot of the film. And the problem is that it makes no fucking sense,
[00:26:58] because they started the film as a vehicle for Ronda Rousey. Back when she was popular and becoming the big thing. And then on to Raj happened. And then she immediately was no longer famous and people stopped caring about her. So you're like, ah shit.
[00:27:14] I don't know, let's make this about Mark Wahlberg now. Which could work. But the problem was they had already shot most of the film with Mark Wahlberg as the antagonist. You can't then re-edit the film to have him be the nice good guy, because throughout this entire film,
[00:27:32] Mark Wahlberg is the fucking worst. He beats people, he screams at people, he's Mark Wahlberg. And so it's kind of hard to watch this film be like, go get him Mark Wahlberg when Mark Wahlberg fucking sucks. So you're saying the cinematographer just forgot to turn off the camera
[00:27:51] after they called cut and that's what the movie is? I mean like there's parts where it's like, they try to excuse everyone else in the team, like John Malkovich plays their boss. Of course he does. And people are like, why do we even let Mark Wahlberg
[00:28:04] do these things? He's like, ah, he has Asperger's or something. And then that's the entire explanation. That's not how Asperger's works. And so, yeah, Miles 22. It's not good. Oh this sounds terrible. Maybe I have to watch it now. Not like, maybe like when it's on VOD or something.
[00:28:25] To be fair, I will say this. If you're ever in New York and you want to go see a movie, do not go to the AMC in Times Square, which is where I saw this film. I've seen many films there because it's the closest one to me.
[00:28:37] It is the worst theater on the face of the earth. When I went there, it was like, I'll remind you this is a radar film that I saw at 5.30 in the afternoon. So I walk in and then it's going fine, it's going fine. Everyone's sitting down. It's great.
[00:28:55] Then 15 minutes into the film has been playing. An entire family of six walks in and two of the six are twin toddlers that are maybe four. And then there's this big reveal kind of things get weird at the end of the film
[00:29:10] and I couldn't tell what was happening because both of them were screaming, sobbing the entire time. Probably because the film's hyper-violent. So yeah, you're in New York. Don't go there. There's other theaters. Henry, it wasn't that they just knew the movie was bad too. Sounds like you're Belmar.
[00:29:29] Also, another part of it that's unrelated to it hasn't affected me yet. The AMC in Times Square has bed bugs. So it's fucking half-ung of that I guess. Oh my God. Do they have those cushy seats that unfold flat?
[00:29:47] In the theater I saw it in, yes, but only that one. Every other theater, it's required you sit in this spot that you can sign to you and some of the chairs have been ripped open. And so it's a fun theater. Don't go there.
[00:30:01] Anyway, I also saw Crazy Rich Asians, which is fun and cute. Is that a movie or just people on the street? Whoa. What? Whoa. I missed something. Yes. I asked if that was a movie title or people that you just saw in the street. Oh.
[00:30:19] Because you're talking about Times Square. Yeah, well I mean also true. But yeah, so Crazy Rich Asians, which is fun. If you like romantic comedies it's fine. I don't. It's pure making out to be the Messiah of our time, but it's not. It's just cute. But it's interesting.
[00:30:36] If you've read the book, which none of you have, if you've read the book, they completely changed the ending in the movie, which is interesting because by changing the ending, they eliminate the possibility of them having a sequel.
[00:30:48] Because the entire second book requires them to not have that ending. But anyway. Do they get crazier and richer in a sequel? Kind of. I mean you're kind of. When did you read the book? Yeah, when did you? What? When did you read the book?
[00:31:08] It was like nominated for like a lot of awards like Best Book of the Year when it came out. So I read a lot of movies. When did you find time to read a book? What?
[00:31:19] You watch a lot of movies, so when did you find time to sit down and read a book? At midnight when they're no longer showing movies. Do you sleep at all? If we want to get into my living habits, it is not good.
[00:31:34] The Skype camera isn't HD, but if we had that technology and quality, you'd see like bloodshot eyes out of Henry just like a lack of sleep. You can see my face. It's like bright red because I have very low blood sugar.
[00:31:50] I plan on seeing it at some point, but like. It's definitely worth a watch. It's just like, I don't know. People are like, this is the greatest film ever made. It's not. It's really cool because like one of the first,
[00:32:00] it's the first film since like the 90s have been primarily Asian cast and so it's interesting for that regard. And everyone does a fine job, but it's just, I don't know. It's just fine. It's cute. I used to love rom-coms and I obviously like rom-coms.
[00:32:12] Yeah, but maybe I'll check it out. Yeah. And yeah, I think that's pretty much everything I saw that's worth mentioning. I mean, I see it a lot, but nothing else really worth talking about. I watched more Godzilla films. The one I watched today was on Jet Jaguar,
[00:32:30] which is the pinnacle moment where Godzilla stopped being a good series. And so eventually you'll read about that in part four. No, probably part seven, maybe. Part three will be coming out soon. So I watched this week. Awesome. All right, Zach, what did you watch this week?
[00:32:48] Not a whole lot. I rewatched Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield because it's on Prime. That movie is still fucking funny. I love the ad that Rodney Dangerfield's character has for the clothing store that he runs at the beginning. He's asking the audience, are you fat?
[00:33:10] And he says, when you go to the zoo, do the elephants throw peanuts at you? Just a bunch of crazy lines. And Robert Downey Jr. in that movie, I forgot that he plays the stereotypical on-campus activist type of character and whatnot. And everything he does is super radical.
[00:33:32] He's wearing pink hair at one point. It's pretty fun to watch all those guys from back in the day just doing their shtick before they either change careers or, in the case of Dangerfield and Kinnison, die. And Kinnison's thing in...
[00:33:48] Kinnison's bit as the history teacher who's talking about Vietnam is still pretty fucking funny. But yeah, so Back to School is fun. I rewatched Robin Hood, Men in Tights because it's turning 25 this year. And I'm like, I like that movie. So I'm going to rewatch that movie.
[00:34:04] And it's still fucking funny. I still maintained from a couple weeks ago the only joke that doesn't hold up is when Dave Chappelle has to pump issues to fight the bad guys. Because we don't have those anymore. But yeah, and it's fun how that movie... People love...
[00:34:24] You either love two Cari-El-Wes movies. You love them both, but you love one more than the other. I feel like sometimes a lot of people love Princess Bride. And I like Princess Bride, but Robin Hood, Men in Tights is my favorite of the two Cari-El-Wes sloshbuckler movies.
[00:34:40] So it's not that I don't like Princess Bride. I have more fun with Robin Hood, Men in Tights. But on the Mel Brooks front, I actually got Shout Factory put out this collection of a five disc DVD set of a collection of Mel Brooks stuff.
[00:35:00] So it's not his movies. It's a lot of stuff he did outside of film. There's these beer commercials he did in the 60s. There's talk show appearances he did where he did different characters and stuff.
[00:35:15] He did different standard routines he used to do in the Catskills and then later in general music videos. All these things. So they collected them into this big nice book set.
[00:35:26] And they also did a five part documentary where it's just an interview series where they sit down with Mel and talk about each of his films. And so they do, I think it's about an hour per part and it spans over the five disc set.
[00:35:42] So it's really cool to listen to Mel talk about especially his first two films, which are the producers in the 12 chairs.
[00:35:51] Most specifically because he doesn't talk about the 12 chairs a lot, which is a really, really fucking good film that is not like the super laugh out riot that like a blazing saddles or young Frankenstein is.
[00:36:04] But it's a wonderful story based off of a Russian novel about trying to find a sack of jewels sewed inside of one of 12 chairs after the Russian Revolution. It's a wonderful film.
[00:36:16] I need to rewatch it, but I watched it a shit ton in high school because it was the one Mel Brooks movie that I needed to figure out somehow and then when I finally figured out like oh yeah, it's the heartwarming one.
[00:36:30] It's the one that doesn't necessarily have to be too wacky. But there's also some really cool, like I said tonight show clips and stuff like that. They have his music video for To Be Or Not To Be where he does a Hitler rap and it's hilarious.
[00:36:43] And there's also some documentary on him and Carl Reiner talking about the creation of the 2000 year old man sketch, which is really fun listening to Carl Reiner talk about it.
[00:36:58] Because it was like the concept was developed by Carl Reiner as a sketch that they were going to do for your show of shows and all he did was pitch a question to Mel in the writer's room of your show of shows and just Mel responded and then that's how the bit was born.
[00:37:12] It also has the HBO special where Mel Brooks and Dick Cavett talk on stage for an hour and it's hilarious and Dick Cavett ends up being funnier than Mel at a lot of points.
[00:37:23] And Carl Reiner shows up at one point to tell the 2000 year old man story and he's just in the audience as if he's supposed to ask a question like an audience member from the Q&A. Instead he just stands there for 15 minutes. It's pretty solid, pretty fun.
[00:37:36] If you love Mel Brooks I would definitely try to check that out. And then the last thing that I watched was I dug into my In the Mouth of Madness Blu-ray from Shout Factory Scream Factory. That movie's still fucking rocks.
[00:37:52] If you've never seen the movie it's Sam Neal plays an insurance investigator who's hired by a book company to track down an author named Sutter Cain who's like bigger than Stephen King.
[00:38:03] The whole movie is like a mind fuck that also plays as a commentary on Apocalypse by the status of the culture and it's fun. I enjoy it. It's a really good John Carpenter film.
[00:38:17] He's having a lot of fun in that movie as a director you can tell because he's doing some weird messed up stuff with editing, music, sound effects and stuff like that. It seems like it's a fun time for him and Sam Neal is great in it.
[00:38:35] It's one of the coolest costume designs I've ever seen on a character. He's in a hospital gown and it's all covered in black crayon markings of crosses and then all over his face he's drawn black crosses all over his face and arms and stuff like that.
[00:38:57] When I was watching it today I was like I kind of want to do that for Halloween. Even if nobody knew what it was referencing it would still be a crazy costume. But yeah that's all I watched this week. I guess I'll go.
[00:39:15] The Alamo is doing all the Rocky films as double features this week but unfortunately I can only go to the first and second one.
[00:39:26] Which I watched in a theater with a crowd because it's amazing to see old movies that render an audience silent because they're just so enthralling. It shows that they stand and test time and all that stuff.
[00:39:46] I don't know if it's people who don't think the Rocky trilogy changes in quality that much. But it seems like a little devoid of drama. He spends all his money and loses it all and then has to fight again and then wins.
[00:40:08] I don't know if it's just like after watching Rocky which is very slow paced until you get to the very end. And then all the sequels are very like a lot faster paced. I remember two being more episodic than anything else. It's kind of moment by moment.
[00:40:27] It's fine. All the sequels jump around more whereas the first Rocky you get in a scene and it just breathes and you're stuck in there. I'm sitting with those characters. I'm sure they showed like a four. They never restored that in 4K did they.
[00:40:42] Yeah it's in the set you actually have because I've been waiting for the 4K version to buy the whole set. I haven't picked up the or I haven't watched the set yet but I bought it was when it was on sale at Best Buy so.
[00:40:54] But it's only the first one they mastered in 4K. Well yeah. Rocky 5 and 4K. I just have the DVD version. There's like a scene where like the compression is really bad. So yeah I'd like to get away from that quality. Yeah absolutely. But there was one thing in 4.
[00:41:15] Like in 1 and 2 Apollo Creed you know punches Rocky in the face so much that like his eyes are all puffy and like yes get cut and everything. And Rocky 4 presumably the strongest man in the world.
[00:41:31] Hyphen Drago punches Rocky way more than Apollo Creed ever did in the face and he's sort of bruised afterward. So that was a little like yeah no he's about well Stallone was directing and yeah no they don't see my face.
[00:41:48] But I do love how 5 like takes him back down and like back into his life before all the fame and street routes. Yeah.
[00:42:00] Because like sitting through three and four like seeming like in a mansion like wearing suits and stuff it just like after just watching the first Rocky just feels so out of place. And then it's I feel like I feel like that when I watch Creed not necessarily five.
[00:42:16] I feel like that when I watch Creed or even Rocky Balboa like yeah he's got money but it doesn't necessarily show in the way it shows in three and four. Yeah. But in Creed also he's looking older so that's kind of helping my perception so.
[00:42:32] Yeah the other movie I watched was one of my screen factor or Shaft factory DVDs that I bulk bought and that was Robo Jocks or a robot Jocks. Yeah which is is sort of confusing.
[00:42:43] Oh I thought it was going to be actually really using amazing as it sounds is what I wanted to hear. Yeah like the trailer looks amazing but it could easily be a mystery science theater watch. So what I gather is so there's these gladiatorial mechs like Pacific Rim.
[00:43:05] That it's Russia versus America and they're fighting over Alaska and its resources. So they have these robot gladi like the people in the suits are called Jocks.
[00:43:16] And they fight but in the opening fight the main American contender in order to save they have spectator bleachers outside in the Nevada desert that there's they're going like. They're fighting these with these robots jumps in front of the fist missile that the Russian robot shoots out.
[00:43:43] He deflects it but he also falls over into the stands and kills a bunch of people. And so he gets traumatized by it and bows to never fight again. But then there's a female gladiator that's been genetically engineered to fight.
[00:44:00] And for some reason he doesn't like that idea like. He's also a Star Wars fan. Yeah so he comes out of retirement just to ruin her chances at fighting.
[00:44:15] And then I got lost again and they team up sort of or he fights in her place and he's sort of in love with her. And then they fight the Russian one again. And at the end they become friends.
[00:44:33] It sounds this whole plot sounds like it was for though. I was going to say it sounds like a bot wrote an incel love story. Yeah. And there's a there's I've seen this in so many of the Mystery Science Theater sci-fi movies that they review.
[00:44:49] There's like one of the it's the future and there's like all these tech guys right. But in the in the lab or the mission control there's the Texas guy. So he's got the the jumpsuit the science jumpsuit but he's wearing you know the Dallas hat.
[00:45:04] And he's got the really thick Texas accent and surprise surprise he's the one who's been sabotaging the matches. And he frames it on the Asian guy. Does he does he take off the lab coat to reveal it's actually a business suit.
[00:45:20] No he's in the lab cut the whole time. But once he does get caught for murdering the Asian guy and framing him. He's like you'll never catch me and like brushes off his two captors then just jumps out a window to his death.
[00:45:35] It's like they're going to take away to execute him. Like he was like I'm going to escape to kill myself like Hitler on Danger 5.
[00:45:45] There's a there's a French avant-garde film called Mr. Freedom which is a film about an American superhero who like it's like a James Bond film but like a superhero.
[00:45:57] And it's all about like the whole point is this ridiculous film about how America views itself and it kind of being like anti imperialism and that and how that view. But it sounds like the exact same thing like where it's like this is what America thinks it is.
[00:46:11] Like the amazing thing is like the robot mechs and everything.
[00:46:15] Like that's the cool part like their stop motion animated and like they look like they're in the real world and you know in Pacific Rim it's like it looks like a matte painting that they're composited onto and they in sort of in 3D but this feels like they built a huge room to like put an elevator in like put the guys up in the mechs for.
[00:46:38] So and it was I think it's from 89 and 90. So it looks like a movie from the 70s but it came out in late 89 and 90 so that's like wow. No no I just like it just this sounds like not even just an MST 3K episode.
[00:46:59] This is like how did this get made. Like this is like for Henry and I this is a we hate movies episode. This sounds this just sounds too much fun. It's on shout to. That's yeah the shop factory collectors edition.
[00:47:13] I didn't get into the bonus features yet but yeah let them explain themselves. The film quality looks great like the transfer and yeah the production design though like not so much. And the last thing I saw was a midnight movie this week.
[00:47:30] I'd never seen I know what you did last summer. Not a scary movie but it was definitely fun who done it with an unsatisfying result.
[00:47:42] I mean that's kind of full yet like that's how like that era of like horror films was it was more mystery than anything like.
[00:47:48] Like I think like Final Destination which is like it's not really scary it's more just like trying to figure out what the fuck is happening. Yeah mystery and teens who know too much. Like even when they do get all slashy it's almost like censored.
[00:48:00] Yeah like when Sarah Michelle Geller gets it she just ends up being buried in tires. Well I'm pretty sure it's a PG 13 release isn't it. Those rated are because they say a bunch of them. Then I'm wrong. I remember it.
[00:48:13] I remember it's being the like one I've watched the least of that like 90s teen run and whatnot. But yeah I guess it's been 20 years so I like so Jennifer Love Hewitt and a bunch of her friends her characters Julie James.
[00:48:27] They are in a North Carolina fishing town and then while they're partying on the Fourth of July they run over a dude.
[00:48:35] And the two guys that they're with are like well we don't want to go to jail for this you know the cops won't believe it was an accident.
[00:48:43] So we're going to dump them in the ocean and he wakes like the body wakes up just as a thing dunked in the ocean. And then he's like floating down there Jason Voorhees style but doesn't bother to swim back up. So that's weird.
[00:48:58] That's how I hope I die by the way guys like a bunch of teenagers run me over and decide it's not best to report it to police. Yeah it's really weird. No no it is.
[00:49:08] And so they take care of that and then you know a year goes by and then Julie James starts getting letters. I know you what you did last summer. Ah the title.
[00:49:17] And so the rest of the movie is whoever this person is starts just screwing with them like he doesn't even murder them begin with. And for some reason they murder their friend who wasn't involved with it at all.
[00:49:29] They should then start sending him letters of say I know what you did yesterday. What's that. What they should do is just reply to the letter saying I know what you did yesterday which is totally. Yeah just scare the shit out of them.
[00:49:40] No that's a that's a plot hole that needs to be filled in this movie. Yeah and then like there's at one point that guy does get murdered is in the back of Julie's trunk with a bunch of crabs.
[00:49:52] And she runs to Sarah Michelle Geller's house presumably like maybe a five minute run comes back and the trunk is empty and all the crabs are gone like in broad daylight in the middle of a neighborhood. Like how the killer do that.
[00:50:06] I can see that getting put into the trunk overnight but. Well I mean it's the same question you can ask multiple times with this is like well yeah he's still alive only just swim is busy that badly hurt was his bones that broken.
[00:50:19] I mean yeah and I was hoping it was someone like closely related like it'd been fun if it actually was a Freddie Prince genius character had been like overwrought with guilt or something. And because they make a big deal about like everyone being separated for that whole year.
[00:50:34] Like that would be more interesting than oh it was this fisherman guy who we never saw his face in the in the beginning and he is the villain he's never really been around town the whole time.
[00:50:46] Yeah so and then the bodies in the ice in his boat like like they don't look like the stars of the movie at all. They were like mannequins cheap molding. Sony did this film I can't remember if it's Sony or something else but.
[00:51:02] But the cliffhanger is pretty good so like I'm kind of like I'm hoping to find a way to watch the next one because I don't know how. I still know what you did last summer. I don't know how she gets out of the end of it.
[00:51:12] Yeah yeah the best trilogy is ever made. Yeah I always know what you did last summer. Wait really just three of them. Yeah that's actually the title of the third one. Yeah I'll always know what did you did last summer. How did I miss that.
[00:51:26] Well I think it was direct. It was not theatrical. It was a direct DVD. It has the same people in it. Oh god I'll look it up right now. It's not really true. It's not like almost a decade after the first one. Yeah maybe just Freddie Prinze.
[00:51:38] What else is he doing. Maybe and. He had all that Scooby Doo money. He was fine. He just sits there counting it every day. Thank God for that talking dog. And then there's that part where Ryan Philippe is getting chased by his own car
[00:51:55] through the through like the populated Main Street or whatever and it crashes into him and the killer stands over him and then just goes to black and he wakes up in the hospital like. Perfect opportunity to kill him right there but.
[00:52:09] Nah I just want to watch him squirm like a worm on my hook. It doesn't seem like he blacked out. It just seems like we just left the scene as an audience so it's like why doesn't it seem like
[00:52:19] Ryan know where that guy went who was standing over him. Yeah so weird. Anyway that's why I watched this week. I just want to point I looked it up. None of the original cast are in the third one. Oh what a shock.
[00:52:34] But what I did find out that was interesting. The director of Always Know What You Did Last Summer is the same guy who directed Slenderman. Last year he was a son. He's still getting work guys. Oh my god. It's really called Always Know What You Did Last Summer.
[00:52:47] Because I was sitting in the theater going like what would the third be and I came up with that title. Great minds think alike right. I think the fourth one would have been like I sort of know what you did last summer.
[00:53:00] Anyway the fifth ones I'm getting a little fuzzy on what you did last summer. According to Letterboxed everyone who's in the film it's their most famous film so. This week on Real News Podcasts we watched eighth grade. Henry should people watch eighth grade.
[00:53:17] I have a lot of thoughts about this film. And I also said that I'm around a month removed. So it's been a little bit. But yeah I think it's really good. I think you should see it. Zach. Yeah this is a. This is a really good film.
[00:53:35] It's also the best horror movie in years. The scariest horror film in years and we'll talk about why I say that after the trailer. Yeah this movie is the most like. The movie has made me the most like clawing at my own skin. Because it's so awkward.
[00:53:52] In parts and that obviously intentional. And it's a sweet story. It's a little slice of life glimpse. Into the world of eighth grade that even as a thirty six year old man. I was invested in so. People should go see eighth grade. And here's the trailer.
[00:54:12] Hey guys it's Kayla back with another video. So the topic of today's video is being yourself. Being yourself can be hard and it's like aren't I always being myself. And yeah for sure but being yourself is like not changing yourself to impress someone else.
[00:54:31] A lot of people like call me quiet or shy or whatever. But I'm not quite. Most quiet. Kayla Day. I don't talk a lot at school but if people talk to me and stuff they'd find out that I'm like really funny. And cool and talk to.
[00:54:47] By the way I like your shirt a lot. It's like so cool. What. Kayla. One more week of eighth grade huh? I said one more week of eighth grade right. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah huh. Okay so growing up can be a little bit scary. And weird.
[00:55:16] We will begin to explore these changing bodies of yours. It's gonna be lit. As always make sure to share and subscribe to my channel. Gucci. I think you're so cool. Maybe you just need to put yourself out there a little. I'm gonna stop eating with you.
[00:55:34] You said I could say one thing. I'm really like nervous all the time. I try really hard not to feel that way. But you just need to face your fears. And black people know they're really you. Just grab my phone. How to charge you.
[00:55:56] Yeah I mean sometimes I charge it too. But my phone. Just cause things are happening right now doesn't mean they're always gonna happen. What was in there? Just sort of my hopes and dreams. Right. I was a complete mess when I was your age. Really?
[00:56:15] Eighth grade is the worst. You never know what's next. And that's what makes things exciting. And fun. When did you get snacks at? What grade? Fifth grade? What grade? Yeah and for all the reasons that you stated that's why I was like and I say that jokingly.
[00:56:37] Like it's uncomfortable at so many moments. There's very little room where you breathe between awkward situations of any type in any situation. Like there is at least at minimum three moments.
[00:56:53] That's the minimum that you can at least relate to on the purest emotional level just on having grown up period. Like it's not related to like these are just problems in general.
[00:57:08] And this little girl Kayla goes through them all like within the span of her final week of eighth grade. Which seems like Bo Burnham instilling torture. But yeah the movie is it's very thoughtful film too. I like that it's not what do you call it?
[00:57:28] It's not afraid to shy away from where a certain scene might cut away in a bigger film or a high school film.
[00:57:39] I always think high school films tend to be a little bit more like fantasy films as well because they delve into what we want high school to be.
[00:57:49] This is the one high school film that I've seen or middle school or high school film whatever like young person film that I've seen in a long time where
[00:57:58] they're they don't I doesn't feel like they're lying to them that they're lying to about the situation like everything that happens in there is like.
[00:58:05] The result is the same like there's there's disappointment for how much uplift there is in any given moment like the moment she makes the friend at the high school when she's shadowing her at the high school.
[00:58:19] There's an uplift in that because she's made a friend like or like she thinks she's made a friend and she thinks she's gonna figure this all out and then the following scene after that is like the most awkward and even the most like scariest of the entire film in my opinion.
[00:58:33] But yeah I mean and I don't know if I saw the whole film as a whole like I saw 80% of it and the rest of the 20% was me looking down at my table or like shying away with my eyes because I'm just like I just don't want to I just don't want to look at the result here.
[00:58:54] There's too much embarrassment going on. Yeah I had to look away from the screen sometimes I was just like so. Yeah it's it's she's giving a really good performance to this what's her Elsie Fisher or something like that.
[00:59:07] She's solid in this flick and and it's clear that Burnham who I've never seen anything of his prior to this like I've never seen his YouTube videos to stand up specials anything like that.
[00:59:18] So if this is what he has to offer in just like a debut film and whatnot I clearly need to sit down and watch something of his because he he gets it he nails it like to a T.
[00:59:32] Like it's not like it obviously it's most relatable if you're like an adolescent girl but you know there's like there's awkwardness he presents about like guys in there too like the the kid who's who she becomes friends with at the end.
[00:59:48] Like he kind of plays on that awkwardness of like trying to talk to anyone boy or girl or whatever.
[00:59:55] He also has the most adorable scene where he's like offering up like as many like chicken McNuggets sauces as possible because he doesn't want to be rude and only offer one. So Henry what did you think of it. You had a bunch of thoughts.
[01:00:09] So basically going off with Zach said I also be the residential Gen Z here but basically if you're I don't know I followed Bo Burnham's career since like kind of his inception like way back in the day back when I was in like elementary school.
[01:00:29] And I will say that I don't like him. I don't like his humor. I don't like any of his work. I honestly can't stand really anything he's done and so and the trailer did not do anything for me either.
[01:00:41] So I was like I actually I remember the day I saw it was like opening day in New York and I told my roommate like I'm going to go see this movie. I'm going to hate because like I'm going to go into it.
[01:00:50] I'm going to walk up and be like it was fine but I don't like it at all. It's me a ladybird situation for me or a law institution for me and then I got back. I remember it was like what do you think?
[01:00:59] I was like it's best film. It's so good. I was really surprised how good it is. It's very not like the rest of his work.
[01:01:07] If you want another if you want like an identifiable thing that Bo Burnham's done he has his own Netflix TV show called American Vandal. That's like a parody of making a murderer. Yeah Ryan was watching it.
[01:01:20] So if you want more of his stuff there's that he also had an MTV show for a little bit that people liked. And then if I mean his Stan is special things you need to watch if you want to see more of him.
[01:01:30] But yeah I just want to say like if you're if you don't like Bo Burnham and you did not like the trailer you might like this film because I like this film quite a bit. I thought it was very heartwarming. I cried twice in the film.
[01:01:42] I thought it was very nice. The dad character Zach didn't mention too much and he stole the show in my screening and what I love. Pretty much every part with him I thought was amazing.
[01:01:55] It's interesting there's been also a lot of talk about like because it was Ray at R for many reasons. And a lot of people are like it shouldn't be Ray at R. It should be between PG-15 school and middle school can actually see it.
[01:02:07] I'm on the flip side. I'm going to be contrary into this. I don't think I think this film works better if you've already been through it. If you're currently going through it I don't think you will. I don't think the home will really affect you as much.
[01:02:17] I think the film was really designed for people who have already gone through this experience. And I talked to my sister who saw it as well and she'll be graduating high school this year.
[01:02:25] And she thought as well it's like it wouldn't be helpful if you saw it as you were going through it. It's a lot better to see it as someone who's already gone through it to be able to think like okay it wasn't just me essentially.
[01:02:40] No that's actually a valid point in like I don't necessarily agree with you on it.
[01:02:46] But it was a point that I brought up to Brad when we were discussing it afterwards was like even if it's not helpful would someone of that age see the film as like making fun of their generation rather than being like a helpful tool or even like just a simple like good story they can relate to.
[01:03:06] I kind of tossed around with that in my mind all day today.
[01:03:10] I think the answer is it's just it's going to be viewer by viewer basis like there's never going to be like you know like you can't like narrow it down to like oh this entire section is going to love it and this entire section is going to hate it because like as Ryan always says like film this objective so that you can like you know the individual is going to probably appreciate it sometimes more than the whole.
[01:03:36] I will say though that outside of the one scene which is really hilarious involving the father and her discussing whether or not she likes bananas and what happens before that this film doesn't like necessarily need to be rated R.
[01:03:55] I don't think like that's the only reason I could think why they could slap our rating on there.
[01:04:00] Yeah language but yeah but you know like I've seen them move around a bunch of different ways with language on other films and I think that this this being as low budget as it is and stuff like that there's obviously a bias within MPA 8 and not give it a favorable rating.
[01:04:17] But I'm sure that obviously obviously the scene where she's trying to learn that thing on the computer and then get the banana is you know are we are we not spoiling the film is that what we're doing.
[01:04:27] No no I guess we're spoiling a blow job sorry it's a weird scene. But when I saw the film like boy guys New York is a very liberal city and people were doing whatever the fuck they want here.
[01:04:39] There was a family that was at my screening in like some of the members like five five year olds shouldn't be seeing this scene. Yeah this kind of movie.
[01:04:50] No yeah but like that's like a discretion like at your own discretion thing but like when she so she's trying to find an object that looks like a penis and she finds the banana and her father comes in.
[01:05:02] And they have a discussion like I thought you didn't like bananas and whatnot like the funniest fucking line in the movie happens when she after she eats the banana and then like vomits it out she just throws that banana Jake Williams just goes fine I don't like bananas.
[01:05:15] Yes. Like Brad and I were like the only two cracking up at this like outburst of anger it was so God. But yeah that father's really fucking good he's like he's in that class of on screen dads who give the best monologue near the end of the movie.
[01:05:36] Like whether it's a Michael Stullbar again call me by your name or fucking any of the parents and Lady Bird. So yeah I'd like to see more of that guy. I don't know if he's been in anything else. Henry has he.
[01:05:52] He's very much like an indie like Sundance actor. I think this is the only time he's played like a dad but like he's been in a lot.
[01:05:58] So Ryan just wrote in saying that he thinks eighth grade was awesome and the dad is amazing and James agreed with it. So yeah no I mean there you go. Yeah so there you go.
[01:06:14] He's the breakout star of the film not the person going through the eighth grade trauma. What we see next week guys. There's something I remember thinking like oh that's what they're going to see. Is it happy time murders.
[01:06:29] Oh maybe right or Axel everyone loves Axel the Robo dog movie the film that has the exact same plot as monster trucks is probably not nearly as fun. Monster trucks the final film screened and the Obama administration. That's the only factoid I have about that film.
[01:06:47] Yeah it looks like it's happy time murders. There we go. Right on. No sesame all street. Brian Henson entertain me. All right well until next time. Henry really podcast Henry thanks for coming back.
