[00:01:34] Hi this is Brian Cummings and actually you are listening to Reel Nerds Podcast. Send money and real estate. Welcome to Reel Nerds Podcast Interviews section. I am Zach and with me is Brad.
[00:02:12] Our guest today is the founder of a festival that I've had kind of the pleasure of like really helping like program the last two years. And this year it's changed in a big bad way for the better in order to include other forms of art.
[00:02:30] So I thought we got to get the guy who put this all together on the show. Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to welcome Wade Gardner to the program. Hey Zach. Thanks for having me.
[00:02:42] Hey thank you Wade for let me just say first because I'm the lone documentary nerd in the group.
[00:02:49] So when you put out the call last year for people to assist on programming it was a treat because then you get to watch a lot of stuff that you normally don't get to see within the flows of Netflix, Amazon Prime or even the theatrical circuit.
[00:03:02] So this is a very interesting situation you put together. Can you tell me how this all got started?
[00:03:09] Yeah absolutely and first thanks again this is your second year of helping and you know as we communicated back and forth I really wanted the festival to be able to have a local, I wanted folks from the local community to come and really be a part of it.
[00:03:27] I think unlike most festivals they tend to get people that are there forever and maybe it loses a little bit of freshness so I think what we've done with your help has been great.
[00:03:37] Ten years ago, this would be our tenth year of doing DocuS, how it came about was I actually used to work in corporate land and long story short I hated it and so I was looking, I had a film degree
[00:03:53] and I was looking for something different and I thought well let me see if I can buy a business and long story short I found this art school, I live in Denver but the art school is in Evergreen and I quit my job,
[00:04:04] cashed in my 401k, sold my house, took out an SBA loan and bought this art school. The reason I bring it up is that was in 2008 and my banker still lasts, I got one of the last loans and then the economy tanked
[00:04:18] and so I was out trying to find new business and I ran into a person at the Foothills Art Center in Golden and she knew of my background in film and then also I had started another film festival called First Look while I was in film school that was strictly for college students
[00:04:36] so she knew that history of what I've done and she said, Wade if you could do one festival what would you do? And I just looked at her and we were standing at the top of the main street Jefferson I believe it is that runs in the Golden which we were at the top of it on the hill looking down
[00:04:54] and I said this would be a great place to do it, I'd call it, I'd do a documentary film festival and call it DocuWest and she said let's do it and that's how we got started.
[00:05:04] It's interesting to know that you've had experience prior to it. Now I know a little bit about the process obviously because of helping program and we're not alone in that there's a bunch of people who answered the call to do that including Steve Bissette from Alamo Draft House who came down and helped program someone
[00:05:23] some of the sections of it but besides programming and getting the films and what not, what else goes into getting this thing off the ground each year?
[00:05:32] Yeah another great question for sure and you're right Steve and Kendall also from Alamo and Dio they also helped program as to your point some other folks did too so it was great to have a good team
[00:05:46] mostly everybody is there for the second time which is awesome second season. So other than that it's really been the toughest thing has been getting back to a space where we could reclaim and start to rebuild an audience.
[00:06:03] The festival was in Golden for the first five years then the executive director who was my friend left the new ED there said hey we don't want to make, we have four programs we don't want to make a film festival be one of the four for Art Museum in Golden.
[00:06:19] I was like cool. So then I was kind of out in the woods trying to find a place and I won't get into it but it was you know it was quite a hard road to hoe.
[00:06:29] And then with Alamo opening last year and us being able to have our festival there last year was great. So this year the biggest thing that's been happening is that we've rebranded the festival become the docuest film and music festival.
[00:06:45] And so in addition to the films Zach like you alluded to what we've added is a three night music showcase. I don't have the bands in front of me but it'll be the Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights during the festival.
[00:06:59] There will be three bands each night very well known local indie bands and emissions free so getting all that in place. And we've also started a series that we've just integrated and launched with the help of the Denver Public Library.
[00:07:13] And that's a program called Shelf Life and in Shelf Life what we're doing is we are bringing in over two days Saturday and Sunday in Barfly.
[00:07:27] Each day from noon to five we're going to have four to five authors and they're going to come and talk about their nonfiction books and they're going to sign and sell their books as well because we thought that was a great extension of the festival.
[00:07:42] And then there's just a backstop of do we have all the films or what films do we need and how do we get some printed material done and I have to mark it.
[00:07:54] So it's been a lot of fun being able to work on these different programs now that we've got this great space at Alamo.
[00:08:03] Awesome and then in addition to getting this all together and set up you are also a filmmaker in your own right obviously went to film school.
[00:08:13] And you did a documentary that has made the rounds for the over the past year and a half I want to say because I've followed it but I still haven't seen it yet. I'm called Marvin Booker was murdered. Correct. Could you tell me a little bit about that.
[00:08:27] Me being an office to it as it stands and I cannot wait to see it when I finally get a chance so but tell me a little bit about how that kind of came about. No absolutely. Thanks a lot for the nice words.
[00:08:41] Yeah, I have a film that we are releasing now in 2018. You're right. It's been on the festival circuit for just about a year.
[00:08:50] And for those that don't know the story a lot of folks in Denver heard the name Marvin Booker but for those outside of Colorado and Denver and those who just weren't aware in 2010 a homeless street preacher by the name of Marvin Booker was beaten to death by five Denver jail guards in the city jail.
[00:09:14] That's downtown. And not only did they beat him in front of 20 plus witnesses others being there in the jail and having the event caption on videotape.
[00:09:28] The five jail guards were neither indicted which we know is a very high hurdle but they weren't indicted nor incredibly did they lose one day of pay.
[00:09:40] They actually went back to the job the next day and somebody a few days later said you know the optics of this isn't very good so we're just going to put you guys on paid leave for a couple weeks. So Marvin's story was a watershed story in Denver.
[00:09:55] His death culminated a very fresh up community a very frustrated community who after Marvin's death realized that it was time to take a stand. So Marvin's death actually rallied the citizens of Denver to really start fighting back and questioning law enforcement.
[00:10:19] So in 2014 Marvin's family this beautiful family from Memphis very devout very faithful family with many ties back to Martin Luther King. Marvin himself was a devotee of Martin Luther King so much so that he wrote a book about MLK.
[00:10:43] So Marvin was a very he was able to network and meet people and deal with folks all across also show economic levels. And so in 2014 his beautiful family there are two great attorneys in Denver.
[00:11:03] Darrell Kilmer and Mari Newman from Kilmer Lainen Newman represented them and there was a trial in late 2014 and the Booker family won a 4.65 million dollar settlement from the city of Denver and the five deputies.
[00:11:22] And the tragic aspect outcome of it is even though they were awarded money they obviously don't have Marvin in their lives anymore.
[00:11:32] And they really to this day believe that justice wasn't done and that's why we've also added which I'm sure you'll probably was going to ask me about.
[00:11:43] But that's why we also added a screening during DocuWest of a celebration of Beyond Friday night September that'd be 21st at 7 and it's going to be the Marvin Booker and Michael Marshall search for justice screening.
[00:12:01] And we're going to show a film that played at Sundance and right now is not being screened but in October it's going to be released.
[00:12:09] So we'll get it before it's widely released and that film is called The Sentence and that night will be to remember two citizens who were killed by law enforcement.
[00:12:21] And Michael Marshall is also makes an appearance in our film and his death that happened in the jail months many months after Marvin's has led to some very amazing outcomes with audiences.
[00:12:36] So thank you for mentioning it and I have to say that the film will have a screening in October Zach. I'll let you know it's October 18th but I would love for you to see the film.
[00:12:48] Yeah, I cannot wait. I'm a documentary junkie to say the very least.
[00:12:52] So being that you have made a film within it. Can you tell me a little bit about like what about that genre like really tickles your fancy in the perspective like like I like narrative structure in terms of what I make when I make a film or in terms of what I like to talk about most times with other people because you can go off in
[00:13:14] different directions documentaries while intriguing and engaging also conjure up debates and whatnot so I'm sure that's definitely a factor into why it's a fascinating genre to explore but outside of that even what what what kind of motivates you to go toward that genre as opposed to traditional narrative storytelling.
[00:13:36] Absolutely. I'm going to sound like my answer will be maybe I'll try not to make it too long winded but I want to add something to the narrative aspect which you touched upon and little Eureka moment that eventually went out on my in my mind last couple months here but I'll get to that in a moment but you know the biggest thing I love about the documentary genre.
[00:13:59] Our tagline is we have issues and I think that for and I think that that now with the daily newspapers crumbling that the documentary art form has really been able to maybe fill the gap of finding those stories that are long form just like member back in the day you get a newspaper in your hand and they do a you know a week once a week for one series.
[00:14:29] On an issue for one full week and it seemed like they still you still want to learn more so I think documentary film has filled that gap in his filling that gap but then as that you touched on something about the narrative.
[00:14:43] And what I look at is I look at the editing matter of fact this year we're going to give out an award for editing I think editing is so important but but to tie it back to the narrative question two fold one. Like when I edited Marvin Booker.
[00:14:57] I couldn't wait to edit it as narratively as possible using to your point about structure what I found interesting for me especially for film nerds is that you know use Marvin Booker as an example.
[00:15:14] If you take a narrative scene and you look at and analyze the films from that. A good film from from the scene what you see in each scene and I know I'm being very formulaic but.
[00:15:28] What I love is the beauty of how the scene narratively is written maybe you start with a positive value you know a couple in bed waking up on their fifth wedding anniversary.
[00:15:40] And then you end the scene where they by the time they get in the car to drive each other to work to work on their anniversary they're almost ready for a divorce.
[00:15:50] And in other words than the next scene dances off of the prior from a positive and negative negative the positives so what I'm driving at is. I love documentaries that have that dance to it and I also like to joke that there's no actors here.
[00:16:08] And you know I think that's a very important because if I ever directed narrative film. I definitely want to write one but in the process of writing one but.
[00:16:18] If anybody ever asked how should I play the scene I actually just maybe point them to two or three documentaries of what you're looking for. Because those folks are in the moment and then lastly in for Doc you asked what we're doing is.
[00:16:35] I wanted to add a bio pic. You know or something based on truth so. Our closing night films not to be announced yet but I'll let you know here on the podcast on film nerds that pretty sure it's going to be the film called blaze.
[00:16:54] By Ethan Hawke now the film will already have started its run in Alamo but I was funny I really wanted to bring that film here Steve said hey.
[00:17:04] Coincidentally it is breaking on that Friday and we thought like well let's play it on Sunday as part of Doc you as I really think that that.
[00:17:13] Is the way we can expand the genre and if we get people to more people to come down then you know we can we could take advantage of again celebrating that theme of non narrative type stories right.
[00:17:24] And actually probably that was a poor choice words on my end because it probably should be more dramatization than traditional narrative because dramatization is one thing as opposed to documentary filmmaking as a format in the dark.
[00:17:38] When you're going about through the process of this now with the music element and whatnot do you try to all tie it into film or you diversify it as much as possible.
[00:17:51] You know the idea was to really find the bands that are using art as activism but that wasn't feasible with everybody's schedule. Brittany yeah Brittany from Alamo who helps oversee the bar I believe she's the manager but she's a big part of the of Barfly.
[00:18:10] She did a great job of going out and finding these bands so we discussed having some sort of activist bent I think that we need more of that through music and art because we're not getting it.
[00:18:24] And I think that these bands that we have are really going to energize and to be able to offer them for free so there's no cover that was very important to us as well.
[00:18:34] We really want to make a doc you a same with shelf life we really want to make documents so you can come and explore and just get into the into the genre.
[00:18:46] Well I'm going to wrap it up on one final question because just between us documentary nerds who's your favorite documentary filmmaker. I'm a documentary filmmaker. That's a great question.
[00:19:00] I'll tell you what Sam Pollard is my favorite documentary filmmaker and the cut that he did on four little girls.
[00:19:13] That was the cut and the tone that I wanted to emulate the one area I mean trust me my level in Sam's I'm not comparing but Sam Pollard is the best right now I think working documentary and he's got the history in his back pocket.
[00:19:30] But there's this one scene in four little girls where at the end of the scene you hear this like snare drum coming in like rain pummeling the sidewalk and it's done for effect.
[00:19:42] And the person who is great who helped score the film we tried to catch a scene like that but we just couldn't match that so Sam Pollard I got to strive with Sam.
[00:19:52] Yeah no and that was produced by Spike Lee actually I have not seen that one yet no but it's on that long list of filmography of Spike Lee so you but it's definitely like a prominent film in 97 and it's something that unfortunately is a little bit more relevant than it should be.
[00:20:12] That's right yeah. Well one more time Wade can you tell everyone what days the festival is going on and where they can find out more information about it. Absolutely.
[00:20:22] Doc U.S. film and music festival September 19 through the 23rd at Alamo Draft House Cinema Sloan's Lake opening night film is a brew master Barfly of the 19th big film on Friday is the Marvin Booker Marvick Michael Marshall film Saturday we're going to screen.
[00:20:43] Combat Obscura which is crazy off the rails. 180 degree look at what it means to be in the war in Afghanistan.
[00:20:54] They'll knock people socks off and the festival is the 19th through the 23rd and yeah we're just going to make sure that we come out and celebrate nonfiction storytellers.
[00:21:03] Awesome well thank you once again Wade for coming down and giving us an interview we really appreciate it and we really wish you the best of luck on the festival.
[00:21:13] I personally do and I can't wait to come down there and take a look and see what you've put together.
[00:21:19] Well your help was instrumental in putting it together and thank you very much Zach for everything that you've done for Doc U.S. and I look forward to meeting you I think finally in person down there.
[00:21:32] Awesome well thank you very much Wade and on that note that's been a real nerds interview with Wade Gardner for Doc U.S. film festival at the Alamo Draft House Sloan's Lake. Thanks for listening have a pleasant day.
[00:21:45] Welcome to real nerds podcast unofficially the official podcast of Denver Comic Con 2019 and beyond I'm Ryan and with me is Zach and Brad is back. Hey guys.
[00:21:57] Hey Brad welcome and hey whoa whoa whoa I'm sorry let me do that over award winning director editor Bradley Hague is with us. Thank you thank you because the editing is you right. Well Ryan and I both edited Ryan Carroll. But the editing is you right. Sure.
[00:22:15] There's someone here to say. So you're the director though correct. Right. So you sucked those performances out of the best ensemble cast that's right acting so you I know you as a director and you'll be sitting there and you're watching your monitor and you know my headphones down.
[00:22:32] You go you go fucking cut. I'm not buying this. You tell him to fuck off the right way or you know what you can fuck off on this set. You're like you're free to get the hell out of here. You're the James Cameron of Colorado filmmaking.
[00:22:50] No one's working me now. Just get all everyone fuckers and how many Thunderbolt sequels you haven't developed it right now. I'm still waiting for the Thunderbolt feature film. That's why I want to do that really bad. I'm waiting. I'm waiting for the fifth direct DVD.
[00:23:04] You got some checks for the budget. Dude yeah I got a bag of change you want it. Wait wait for it. Nope. Got my hopes up. You did a drum roll for nothing. But who won best overall.
[00:23:20] The co-creators team they made a film called Carrier about a woman who is like a Uber driver. Yeah it's like a service called Carrier. Yeah it's Carrier so Uber and she picks up this recording artist who has a pass connected to her and it's pretty intense. Nice.
[00:23:43] I don't want to spoil it for them. No that's fine. I'd hoping it would be like Bruce Springsteen and she picked him up and he'll say it was one time I was remembering being picked up on the corner by Carrier. Any Bruce Springsteen fans out there? Hello?
[00:24:00] I mean Brad and I should point out though that as much because I love if it bleeds your film. I thought it was awesome and Carrier was saying that because I'm in the room. No no no it's true. Yesterday he said have you seen Brad's new film?
[00:24:13] I said no he hasn't posted online yet and he said it's a fucking piece of shit. But when we do this show tomorrow I'm going to tell him it's great. And then I spit on the ground and said but really I hate it.
[00:24:21] I paid for the box for this shit. But no like so your film is great. Carrier was great but let's be honest Karate Kyle should have taken the win for everything that night. Karate Kyle is the new. Yeah please describe it.
[00:24:34] Yeah Karate Kyle is a karate master in the suburbs who practices his skills on fruit until one day a watermelon becomes sentient. A poetic watermelon comes sentient and they fall in love. And Ryan you'd love it.
[00:24:52] Stuff happens that you go you see their relationship develop and then fall apart literally. Yeah and I never thought I'd see that on a big screen ever like it was it was better than Citizen Kane.
[00:25:05] You've said to me like you know Citizen Kane is overrated now I agree because Karate Kyle is what cinema can offer for us. Awesome. I just love what he bears. I only care about Brad. But no I'm going to be completely honest I care what Brad did.
[00:25:21] But to bring it back to If It Bleeds though that was a smart fucking movie you made. Thanks. I would not. And John script was fucking stellar.
[00:25:32] And Tanya gave a hell of a performance like if it wasn't for the carrier girl I would say yeah I'll give it to her because that's she's she is the lead she's carrying that movie which I don't think I've seen her do that before in the other projects unless I'm misremembering.
[00:25:49] Yeah I mean I feel like a lot of her projects don't have like a lead it's usually ensemble so. Well it's hard when you have to turn around so fast. Yeah.
[00:25:57] And when you start when you start to get teams as big as we're getting you know six minutes isn't a lot of time to devote to one person unless the story is written specifically for one character's arc so right.
[00:26:11] It's easier to spread everything out when you have 13 people on your team rather than just because also you know everyone's there for the weekend giving their free time you don't want to be like. The show is all about this person. And you can be in the background.
[00:26:25] It's like oh I stayed up for yeah so anyway. Well sometimes you got to write what comes to you and maybe next time it'll be one person just walking through an alley. Yeah.
[00:26:35] Next year we're going to wear a 10th one so we've got some ideas of some clever stuff to celebrate that so nice. Sweet. Yeah. Matchbox 20s song where everyone is everyone for being just like they do walking down the street in a small town.
[00:26:53] Just a dude like rubbing his shoulders with a scarf on brilliant.
[00:26:57] So artsy is and he picks up you know like a leaf and then he lets it go in your camera follows the leaf down the street and then it goes to a homeless guy and he like puts it on his bed and it completes his bed.
[00:27:11] At the video. I don't know. This reminds me of that family guy. I don't know why I picked that song either. Yeah I don't think I've ever seen their music for that. I don't think I've either. I thought you were describing it. Nope.
[00:27:22] It's gonna be like you've seen this a lot I was assuming. Like I can see that being a matchbox 20 video. Nope. I have no idea. I think the only one I've seen is the one for Bent where you know he's walking down the street.
[00:27:32] Yeah or he's in like the room right? Or what's the one where he's in the room? He's in the room. It's like he's crazy but he's not crazy. Fuck I can't remember. Yeah. I haven't heard the song I'd know it.
[00:27:41] I'm pretty sure Bent he's walking down the street like he described so. Matchbox 20 email us and tell me. You help me I'm big. I'm so scared that I'll never get put back together. That song plays dude. I had to do it for 30 seconds and that's fucking Rob Thomas.
[00:27:57] That song plays every fucking day. You know when I was writing that song? I don't know how he sounds in real life. I wish I didn't have to hear it every fucking day at work. Which song? The that put back to get bent. Is it really?
[00:28:08] Yeah because it's on that like you know department stores have that like radio station or whatever they like plug into. 20 years. Yeah. No. This is all the hits from the odds. I've heard that and didn't tell you this tonight too many times.
[00:28:22] That is but occasionally I hear a good 70 soul song so that's nice. I got really excited I was I had a ride along today and so I do this thing with right along it's like let's go to Starbucks and talk a bit.
[00:28:38] Why you want to work for us. Starbucks is really busy so I went next door to they would have like a like breakfast place and over the loud speakers around Stuart new song was on. And I know his new songs like really like gaining like airplay.
[00:28:53] Like wow who knew it's the best song you've got it. Yeah. No that's a good song. Dangers of doing drugs guys don't do drugs. He's what 90 years old and that's the message he's working on. Nuts. And drugs. One he's 73. Yeah he's not 90.
[00:29:12] No the song is about a kid overdosing and. Damn man. The troubles that you run into in Hollywood. It's it's about a woman but I'm pretty sure he's writing it about his son who like had a lot of struggles with that.
[00:29:28] And he mentioned when I saw him in concert that you know his couple of his son's friends have died from overdoses. So he kind of wrote a song about what the parents go through. It's pretty good. That shit is not cool man. No don't do drugs.
[00:29:44] I've seen some things and you know the worst thing you can be is to have a cop find you when you're dead from drugs. Pound the you'd notice. No I mean like for your family and stuff and it's not a good look. Yeah. Anyway. Anyways. Yeah.
[00:30:02] Do we talk about drugs on this podcast. Well no. Is that even a good Bruce Springsteen. I don't know what the fuck he even sounds like either. I'm just like. Thunder root. I can't do it either. I can't do it either. Come on up Thunder root. Now.
[00:30:16] Mine's pretty much just Trey Parker singing. Let's see. Come on up Thunder resin. Now you're mine. Man man man. One of these days I'm going to give you the lyrics to the to the wrestler and have you do it in that voice. And then you see me.
[00:30:32] I just love that song. Freedom isn't free. Cause folks like you and me. So we don't throw in a bucko five. Who will. Freedom cause the bucko fan. No you went out of pitch too soon. Freedom cash a bucko.
[00:30:54] I'm thinking what he does is normal voice for the Pearl Harbor song because it just throws me off. I'm like oh yeah it's not. I think that's Matt Stone on the Pearl Harbor song really. I think so. That'd be sweet. They both sing really well.
[00:31:06] Yeah I don't know maybe it is Trey Parker. I'll have to I'll send him an email see what he says. He's from Colorado we are pretty tight. Yeah when you grow some Colorado's pretty. Yeah Don Cheadle he and I get breakfast every Sunday. Totally.

[00:32:55] Then we're gonna watch a Nun kill some celebrities. And then we're gonna watch a shark fight Jason Statham me. Ooo. It has a big bite. That's when you drop the mic. You'll be here all week. I didn't know if that shark is gonna track me.
[00:33:19] You're funny how that shark's going to walk. Are you gonna put a wire on that shark so we can track it? And then the Esquire midnight this week is 2001 A Space Odyssey. Oh wow. I haven't seen so I might check that out. Is it the Nolan restored version?
[00:33:37] I'm assuming so. It's a 4K whatever. Oh yeah it's Christopher Nolan's restored version. They played it all week at the Alamo. I should have gone. Damn it. And then Open Screen Night is September 25th. It's the second to last one so enjoy it while you can. Womp womp.
[00:33:57] And no online submissions anymore so you gotta walk it in yourself. Walk it in and hand it to them. It's gonna be like I want it to be handed to you and I want you to run to the Blu-ray player
[00:34:08] and as you just before you get there you trip and the Blu-ray comes out and it spins in the air. It's like whoosh whoosh whoosh. Shatters against the wall. No then it lands in the tray and it goes in and everyone's like whoa this is amazing
[00:34:21] and their heads explode and you have to clean it up and it's gross. I decided I'm gonna be weird today. I like how all your scenarios end with skinners. Yeah so yeah September 25th 7 p.m. 5 bucks the Bug Theater come check it out. Sweet. Sweet.
[00:34:42] And that's what's going on around town yeah. That's your moped. You know what? I'm tired of this moped stuff. I crashed my moped and I have a moped anywhere Ryan. Why did you have to run over the Yorkie in the road to do it? He was right there.
[00:35:00] I have incisible blood lust. Oh my god he does and now he's eating it. My old man had filmmaker by day. Yorkie where Yorkie by night. This is the strangest old time radio play I've ever heard. Short where Yorkie. Where Yorkie.
[00:35:21] Dude's got a wolf face but his arms and legs are really short. You know you can't do anything. So you'd have like a shot of a POV of stalking a chick and she drops her keys and she's scrambling
[00:35:33] and it gets really close and then it comes to where Yorkie and he goes it doesn't do anything. Just marks and it's really obnoxious. It's up and down like a circle in the same spot. And then she kicks him. I'm supposed to be terrifying.
[00:35:48] I don't think one of the funniest. Just a fake dog like an anchorman. Visual jokes ever is in the Simpsons Halloween special where Lard Lad kicks a dog. And it goes. I think that was in Flanders. Idley hey.
[00:36:07] That's the same one where they had Paul Anka defeat all the effort. That's right. Paul Anka. That's a weird cameo. Last week we found out that Michael Jackson did voice that character on the Simpsons. Yeah. And for it was interesting reading because Matt Granting said he couldn't sing.
[00:36:24] That was like the contractual obligation is he wasn't allowed to sing. So as a. He sang Lisa it's your birthday. No they were they hired a sound to like because he couldn't sing for something for contractually in the interview with was it Matt Granting I think it was
[00:36:42] it was Matt Granting and he said that it was really weird because like Michael was sitting in the recording studio while some guy sounded like him singing the song that he was supposed to sing weird contracts are weird. I remember when we did our first mile high horror
[00:36:59] and I asked Kane Hodder to be on our show he couldn't be on it because of a contract. Filthy contracts are you was lying to me and it wouldn't be on our show. I'm gonna say he wasn't lying because he seems like he's a pretty stand up dude.
[00:37:12] I don't think he would lie to me. I mean I've had people like Tom Savina is like fuck you but. Did he really? Pretty much his his fiance girlfriend made this wrote this book called Zombie Squirts about bullying and she was super nice.
[00:37:26] Maybe she'll get us in good with Tom Savini I said hey Mr. Sivini if you want to come talk on our show he's like no. Maybe he was busy. I'd like to think Tom Savini is on an asshole. He wasn't busy he wasn't signing anything.
[00:37:38] Dang it I was there. Well we got the last laugh here we are and where's he now. Yeah was he done lately he's on the burning Blu-ray features. That sounds like fun though I wish I was on the burning. Who kills for the Friday 13th game.
[00:37:53] Man Spider-Man is awesome. Yeah. Check it out. Yup. Anyways this is movie news. It's real news. The bandit. This better be good Zach. The bandit's no longer with us. Bert Reynolds died at the age of 82 over the weekend. Did you guys have his poster up in
[00:38:20] your room too. Did you. Yeah. Right next to my Rob Lowe where he had like the in the Lost Boys there's like a Rob Lowe poster where he's like has his underwear like around his eye. You know what I'm talking about the Rob
[00:38:40] Lowe poster from the Lost Boys. That Corey Hayme had at his room. You did you see the deep cut did you see the Instagram post that Ryan Reynolds did though where he did the side-by-side of his Deadpool bear skin rug poster and Bert Reynolds.
[00:38:54] He said he did it first and best and naked. RIP Bert Reynolds. Well I read it on the Hollywood reporter when they talked about it he said that that was maybe the worst decision he made because it distracted from deliverance maybe getting the recognition it deserved.
[00:39:10] I don't know. That's a possibility. Deliverance is OK. Yeah but yeah deliverance smoking the bandit being obviously the stand. I like the cannonball run. I like the sequels not bad. Sorry. Starting over longest the original longest chart and the remake actually
[00:39:26] he is in the remake of it too. Yeah. Did you ever create a garbage pail kid called Bert Reynolds. I should. And his burp is just a mustache. For all the roles. Why are we in garbage pail kids we should be pumping this stuff out.
[00:39:42] We need to we have better publicists I don't know. But anyway. For all the roles he had though over the years there's a bunch he turned down that are pretty fucking amazing. He turned down Star Wars. He turned down Die Hard and he turned
[00:40:00] down terms of a deer. So it's hard for me to picture him like a badass action star in Die Hard though. Because he was more of the. He's a laid back smart. Yeah yeah he's more of you know the cool guy. Yeah. And apparently he was Milo Forman's
[00:40:18] first choice to play Jack Nicholson's role in One Floor with a Cuckoo's Nest which I did not know that till today. I'm a dance I'm a dance. Yeah but it was God that was mocking me. Daddy told me not to trust you he said you killed Mozart.
[00:40:32] Mohoo Zot. I kill a lot of people. How many times can I reference last section here on this podcast is my goal. I don't know I think we're in so I think we're up to five billion. Well I mean like overall overall
[00:40:47] my goal is for that to come out like on a super deluxe edition Blu-ray that'll never happen. But anyway Bert Reynolds also Boogie Nights which got him his only Oscar nomination and yeah I still love him in Boogie Nights I think he's great in it
[00:41:02] but apparently he did not like his involvement in it. The last movie he made was the last movie star which came out like a year and a half ago or something like that. Kind of like got dumped on the VOD slot. He was supposed to be in Tarantino's
[00:41:15] new movie. Yeah that's the other thing he was scheduled to play the ranch hand who was I mean. Y'all hippies killing people up there. No I think that's a line. Oh wait no if Charles Manson was playing Al Pacino. No not at all. But yeah 82.
[00:41:34] You're not killing fucking anyone. We did find out like last week I guess that Al Pacino is not playing Manson in that movie which really sucks. But yeah Brett Reynolds like my favorite Brett Reynolds thing ever hands down is kind of probably sound weird.
[00:41:50] He was in Silent Movie the Mel Brooks homage to Silent Movies and he just plays himself taking a shower and it's a big in the shower and then all of a sudden you see a bunch of hands pop up massaging his fucking body with
[00:42:03] soap and then up pops Marty Feldman Dom Delawise and Mel Brooks and then through the soundless dialogue they go how would you like to be in our Silent Movie and Brett Reynolds just pushes up against the glass and screams in horror it's really fucking funny. That setup wasn't.
[00:42:18] Yeah well again I'm not this is an audio podcast that was a visual gag I'm just describing my love for that particular moment. 82 he will be massive guy of cardiovascular stuff fuck which actually sucked though apparently he was also in a bunch of financial trouble by
[00:42:32] the end of his life like selling off stuff property in Florida and whatnot. But yeah. Also he's dead he doesn't care anymore. Dead also noted a contestant on celebrity jeopardy away that was SNL that was Norm McDonald the worst impression of anybody ever for some reason it's
[00:42:52] still really funny. It is really funny. I drew boobs on it in regular news though the upcoming Predator movie ran into a bit of controversy because a scene. A scene's being cut because it the scene featured a registered sex offender who I guess he we were talking about
[00:43:17] apparently he had already he already served his time so but Olivia Munn noticed it and requested the studio remove it and so it's removed. So there's one scene missing now from the new Predator movie. Yeah I mentioned this before I mean I'm not excusing any behavior
[00:43:36] but if you've served your time I think you should have an opportunity to work again. Like I mean you know throw this back to Michael Vick Michael Vick killed over a hundred dogs served two years in prison it was back in the NFL so
[00:43:51] it's a fine line because what he did is not good and when you read the the story about it it's not a good thing I'm not excusing that but I mean how many times I don't know if you serve your time I think you should have an
[00:44:06] opportunity was just going to be like destitute the rest of his life you can't work I mean was going to work at a Traders Joe. Yeah that was yeah I know topical Jeffrey Ellen's man yeah so yeah I understand both positions and I understand you want to
[00:44:23] dissent yourself from it for sure but you can't somebody most people have done something in their place they're not proud of I mean Brad you're at that white supremacist rally you were not whoa whoa whoa what no that's not a no didn't you supply him with the
[00:44:49] Tiki torches oh wait I saw you at the end of Black Clansman I knew that was you this isn't a good time to bring up my secret project Brad's Tiki torch and porium so get your new Tiki torch and Brad's Tiki torch and porium
[00:45:08] take a tour south Broadway take him all your rallies open nine to five every day that'd be a great fake ad to film I wish you know that's really bad taste it'd be so fucking funny though but I don't think that's really funny that you use Tiki torches
[00:45:21] I gotta do oh it was dumb I mean yeah because they're really cheap a Walmart you're saying that they're going to Walmart I was gonna say Kmart but you know Kmart's almost out of business you gotta support corporate America while your rhetoric is vis filled with hate
[00:45:34] and you're marching down the street man yeah yep that's what's going on right now in the world on lighter news anyways don't be an asshole quit breaking the law on lighter news though Nick Castle revealed his one scene as Michael Myers in New Halloween so apparently he's not
[00:45:56] throughout the whole which I figured he's fucking 70 years old he's 70 years old there's some intense scenes I mean you're gonna make a 70 year old doobie like you know break through that door and grab Jamie Lee Curtis and get hit by a car but too old so buddy
[00:46:12] shut the fuck up and get out there oh okay should I drink a Dr. Pepper can like I did the first time yeah that's good it'll be great publicity Jason Blum it's cool I thought he just brought him back I was mentioning this last night
[00:46:28] I love the shot in the trailer where it's just his hand and he spins the knife around to make it so he can make it stabby more oh yeah but yeah he said that apparently the moment that he's in it is actually recreating one of my favorite moments
[00:46:40] from the first Halloween which is when he's admiring his kill and kind of nodding and turning the head but he's also gonna be in the movie throughout because he said in the new one if there's any interesting comparisons I do all the ADR for
[00:46:55] ADR breathing for the shape even though I'm only in a cameo so his breath will be prominent throughout the entire feature the new soundtrack sounds great in the trailer oh yeah like nice little nod but it's a little different that is among the many things
[00:47:12] that has been getting raved about for this film so I am excited as fuckity fuck fuck we gotta look at Captain Marvel yeah it's great I think Brie Larson is beautiful oh yeah and she looks like Carol Danvers like big time oh yeah it's a great picture
[00:47:31] and then we also got within that we also gotta look at the Kree military team the Kree military team leader Star Force Jula gotta look at some scrolls and we gotta look at Nick Fury looking young without an eye patch because there's scrolls in it
[00:47:48] does that mean they're gonna like maybe Avengers 4 says like oh the characters that died were all scrolls possibly that's lame I know well I mean if they blend in secret invasion which was a really cool story they didn't find out their scrolls until they were killed
[00:48:06] so I don't know how they would so in secret invasion when Electra is killed by the hand I think it was when her corpse like falls it turns into a scroll and that's when they realize that they're invading I think they made that the fifth Avengers movie
[00:48:21] that'd be sweet like they found it and they're creating an interesting theory with Spider-Man where him riding on the bus is actually him coming back from the sequel far from home but they didn't go against what Kevin Feige said where it takes place immediately after Avengers 4
[00:48:42] I mean obviously here's the thing is you're not gonna kill Spider-Man you're not gonna kill Black Panther I can see the other people maybe staying dead especially with Dave Batista causing all this thing with Drax so Drax I think Star Lord will probably come back
[00:49:00] actually the one person I hope doesn't is Gamora I think her death is really significant but we'll see yeah I oh spoilers they've had plenty of fucking time to see one of the biggest movies of the year leading though into some more Marvel news Avengers 4
[00:49:21] is still a work in progress according to Mark Ruffalo so they're going into reshoots does everyone think that's like I don't think that's news anymore I mean what major movie doesn't get reshoots no but I think that like they're the way that he described
[00:49:36] is that it's a constantly involving yeah all Marvel projects yeah so and I'm curious if it has anything to do with what happened in July but I don't think so I don't think that they would be be dexter there's a I don't know what movie it's on
[00:49:52] you know I don't I've been really bummed lately the Marvel special features are really fluffy I really want them to get into like the meat of it and it might be because they try to keep everything so secretive and it's saying oh look at
[00:50:04] this cool battle on Wakanda well yeah Infinity War like they shot the four with the same time yeah so it's hard to like pull those behind the scenes out because yeah I mean there's two on like so the first two are okay but then
[00:50:16] last two that kind of deal with Thanos and what he does are pretty sweet you want more like the last Jedi yeah so awesome don't worry when Avengers 4 comes out on Blu-ray you're gonna hear the drunk commentary with the Russo brothers and Kevin Feige all just
[00:50:31] like sipping back whiskey and just going like oh yeah that was fucking tough to film oh yeah I don't know how those guys do it oh god also with Kevin Feige like saying like this is what's gonna happen and this is what I could learn not to trust
[00:50:43] when he says stuff for PR purposes because he always lies to me he's a great man he's a great guy it's always really interesting I was looking at the release schedule and after Spider-Man Far From Home it's Marvel TBD Marvel TBD Marvel TBD
[00:50:56] TBD is my favorite Marvel Super I mean they're gonna have to slowly announce what's happening because they're gonna have to start filming those movies soon yeah by the way I'd love to direct TBD you'll never know when he's coming in the other film news apparently the writer for
[00:51:15] It Part 2 said that there's a heartbreaker of an ending which you know the ending of it and I know the ending of it by watching the movie like there's not really anything too heartbreaking about the very end I think they're gonna change it because there's no way
[00:51:30] they're gonna make the movie like the book if they literally have a giant turtle in it I'm gonna be really disappointed right but like in terms of just like the writer in an interview said that there was like it's a satisfying by heartbreaking ending I think so
[00:51:43] I think I think at some point to make him scary with adults is I think he's gonna have to kill a few of them mm-hmm just because and like if they deal with the turtle and spoilers for a book that's like 30 years old with the giant
[00:51:59] not joking he fights a giant turtle mm-hmm it was like his one weakness it's interesting in the in the movie and he tries to tie it so all Stephen King movies have like this connective thread throughout them and that one's weird mm-hmm that's why I don't like
[00:52:15] the book it very much I have a hard time with the stand I like his more lean stuff like Gerald's game cycle of the werewolf have you seen the miniseries version of the stand though that's alright yeah I like it I like it a lot yeah
[00:52:31] probably more so than a lot of other miniseries I've watched recently the last bit of news because you're an officer of the law Ryan would you be fun or would you have fun watching another police academy movie because Steve Gutenberg says you get one so
[00:52:48] your opinion doesn't matter in the matter sure the first one's funny but yeah he said the next police academy is coming no details yet but it's in a gift bag being readied the sequel no one asked for yeah was this the 8th one I don't know 7th
[00:53:08] I think it's the 7th that's 7th for this mission to Moscow or citizens on patrol is the last one I think look it up on your google machine the police academy movies also Oscar is ditching the popular film category oh yeah yeah yeah because they're like
[00:53:23] no one understands what it is yeah no one knows what you're talking about well to be to be clear they didn't ditch it completely they're just ditching it for this year so they're not going to institute it again or institute it until after the upcoming Oscars
[00:53:36] and at least that's what they got so much backlash because they're trying to to me it just sounds like snooty studio people trying to throw something towards the best movies of the year whether it be infinity war or something else a movie that is actual
[00:53:50] a huge achievement in cinema I don't care anybody says you can say it's a popcorn film but to shoot a movie like that with all the people and how big it is I think it's a huge achievement in film or even black panther which is a massive achievement
[00:54:02] in of itself just like how like that's the most accessible marble film since age of Ultron for my money because it doesn't necessarily require you knowing every single bit of marble trivia before going in I know I disagree so there's also other films
[00:54:21] that could have been affected by that like Crazy Rich Asians which we might talk about here in a little bit like that's been getting like huge business for a romantic comedy and getting great reviews and then you know other stuff like I mean
[00:54:34] I feel like a quiet place might have even ended up in that category if they were going to go through with that Popular film, yeah Yeah so but again yeah they need to work on what that criteria is so I'm glad that they're not going to do it
[00:54:46] this coming year so yeah so sorry Michael Bay you won't win an Oscar this year I don't know I heard he's secretly filming Thundercats so I heard a rumor that said he wasn't It's like on Netflix or something probably not true Thundercats ohhh
[00:55:04] I mean that's what Michael Bay sounds like I just imagine he sounds like this boom pow pow I'm going to have an explosion in a swoopy camera no one can direct like me just stands on a mountain with an American flag in the background
[00:55:18] well I'm not going to let his action shit's pretty awesome he knows how to direct action oh yeah rest of the stuff he knows how to make a fast moving efficient action movie but he really struggles with comedy and drama I beg to differ with
[00:55:33] pain and gain in terms of comedy that movie is fucking funny okay oh god it's only good because the rocks in it well Anthony Mackie everything he touches is gold Anthony Mackie's good in Netflix too yeah but the rock's better yeah Mark Wahlberg eh he's there he's good
[00:55:50] he actually I would say he's really good but I think he's the goofiest of the three no the movie's good but yeah anyway that's news we also get Blu-ray sometimes are we getting Blu-rays this week? Zach will let us know DVD releases in Blu-ray well I don't know
[00:56:12] do you want Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life on Criterion Blu-ray? if I wanna sleep sure it's a $40 nap Ryan need some white noise that's $40 oh I'm sure it's I'm sure it's the I'm sure it's the 24.99 I just just kick me in the balls that's way better
[00:56:26] Criterion ranges from like 24 to 24 yeah but I'm not a big Terrence Malick fan I mean dude I found a copy of it at work the standard one I wanna rewatch it I remember not like having the same opinion where I'm just like this is boring
[00:56:38] but I'll give it another chance he makes things look interesting yeah for sure and then it's really boring yeah on the new release front though Oceans 8 coming to 4K Blu-ray and boring Best Buy's Got a Steel Book I liked it it was fine
[00:56:52] Caitlyn Chat looks great in it she was great in it did you not see it? I did see it it's garbage sad for you not sad for me I'm sad for people who had to sit through that shit for it sweet could they reference
[00:57:07] Danny Ocean one more time cause that would really make this movie awesome that was the worst part of it for me to make it good he should have shown up at the end I agree what else was George Cline doing selling tequila and making millions of dollars
[00:57:17] as no espresso also yes and saving the world with his new wife I know I was like I can't believe he's married that really like shocked me so no it's awesome because his wife is really attractive and she's like this really awesome humanitarian lawyer yep you're going wow
[00:57:32] that lady is awesome yep but also the remake of Superfly which I didn't know happened but I will maybe check it out so it's like Cronenberg's but they just put a cape on it no no no Superfly is a Zach I know
[00:57:51] okay I actually wasn't sure if you knew that how long have we known each other I know far too long for me to think I'm serious although now I want to see a fly with a cape on it called Superfly be right real-life spot cast
[00:58:09] we're going to get to animating that it's time to buzz to the rescue but I gotta do it in a day because I die just an hour and a half of a fly with a cape just standing on a pile of shit kneading it oddly enough it's our
[00:58:23] it's our attempt to create content for children so he the fly flies down he's like hmm something stinks in this and he's literally on a piece of shit and there's like dead flies all around here a tube on the background he has his powers from radioactive shit
[00:58:42] he turns into a giant like Baxter Stockman type yes that's what I want all my life is Superfly looks like Baxter Stockman but his powers aren't that impressive but why does he need a cape if he can already has wings I don't know
[00:58:56] just gets in the way of his wings it could be a conversation it'd be like a stupid like Aqua Team show where it's just Superfly and it's just you know some random dude's like why do you have a cape if you have wings
[00:59:09] what do you need the cape for kill me is our stem is this water yes we can start drawing this shit Brad mild mannered house fly by day super hero by now wait what oh I'm sorry he died of fly swatter never mind show's canceled kids
[00:59:33] yeah you should move on you can also get Christine and 4k now 4k transfer is pretty good yeah and that steel book actually looks pretty awesome it's like a car add I'll pull it up and show you it's like a car add oh yeah they have that one
[00:59:48] at Best Buy not in 4k but yeah guess I just can ring it over I don't know if I like the movie enough to upgrade though you know what I enjoyed watching it recently just for the special effects is it $30 worth upgrading I don't know probably not Friday
[01:00:05] it looks fine on the on the Blu-ray so yeah from screen factory we've got brain dead with bills yep with the bills and the seventh sign did me more yep you know it son I've seen those movies brain brain dead is really weird I love that cover
[01:00:25] I've never seen this movie um the seventh sign is it's like a normal possession I remember I know it's not that good I think to me more take it in it though to me more in a normal naked possession and then also I guess Halloween's getting
[01:00:41] a steel book at FYE that's interesting why did they get it and I don't at Best Buy who knew FYE still exists yeah that's another good question well there's one in the mills well yeah cause that's the second spin that's where they took all the inventory from the
[01:00:56] Colorado Boulevard store so if you want to pay $5 more than everyone else for your DVDs and Blu-rays it's a place to go also the most recent second to last season the Big Bang Theory on Blu-ray if you guys are interested in that nonsense garbage oh yeah absolutely
[01:01:11] I'm glad it's that you know it's one of the shows that I noticed the laugh track in I love friends my favorite sitcom and there's a laugh track in it but I don't I mean you notice it obviously but it doesn't Dick Van Dyke has a laugh track
[01:01:23] but the Dick Van Dyke and friends sound like real laughter where this one is yeah I'm the green arrow wouldn't ever shoot an arrow like that hahahaha it would fly through the air and stick in the side of the wall and just shatter hahahaha we're nerds
[01:01:41] did you know that creator of Big Bang Theory is the singer on the Ninja Turtles 80's cartoon theme song is he really? well he makes lots of money so it's really my jealousy that something so stupid has been on for 12 years I thought it was more
[01:01:56] I think Jim Parsons has the most annoying voice when he was in that animated movie home and it was in the trailers and he was the alien I didn't want to see it because his voice is obnoxious he's good in hidden figures though like he's tolerable
[01:02:10] I guess I should say no he's fine in hidden figures because hidden figures is awesome because Kevin Costner stops racism yes it does for the crowbar it's amazing also the 4k Robin Hood with Russell Crow he didn't stop racism he just makes that
[01:02:27] black only bathroom accessible to whites that is true does he make the white bathroom accessible to the black people we don't see it on camera so you know what because we don't know maybe the director's cut and anyway that's Blue Rays awesome we also watch movies throughout
[01:02:46] the week in a segment we call We Watch Blue Rays Throughout the Week so yeah this is just stuff we've been watching Brad? well I've missed a few weeks so buckle up boneheads you're going for a ride let's try to get through this list this very long list
[01:03:04] as quick as possible but I want a detailed description of each thing you've watched oh god alright so see what Brad was playing at the Alamo last week one of the greatest credit openings ever totally and that was a lot of fun I had watched a while although
[01:03:22] in the Me Too era it's a little cringy like obviously kids in high school talk and have but the way they talk about being possessive of these girls that they want to date is just like a little you know ten years later like I don't know
[01:03:38] I don't think do you think high schoolers still I think they're probably guessing they still talk they probably say worse stuff yeah very course of hand job who's counting but my perspective watching it you know ten years ago versus now it's just like I see
[01:03:52] I'm watching at a different level I get it I can appreciate it so I mean I watched Philadelphia story and some chick gets smacked by Jimmy Stewart I'm like man he deserved it it was the times yeah wow just today I watched Perfect Blue which is an anime
[01:04:08] about I'm just kidding by the way people think I'm serious what about Jimmy Stewart or hitting one yeah Perfect Blue is an anime from like I think 98 yeah 97 about like you know a pop idol dealing with becoming a Sears actress and the pitfalls with that and everything
[01:04:28] and the psychological torment that goes on it's pretty pretty cool psychological horror I guess also who done it yeah there's a much a merge going on yeah the animation's fantastic I was really into that kind of anime when I was in high school
[01:04:44] and then I kind of fell off it and I mean I remember that one in Ninja Scroll are the ones I really remember I mean I watched The Street Fighter 1 Ghost in the Shell Akira and that one stayed with me because I thought it was different but yeah
[01:04:59] I haven't seen it in a while you just reminded me I watched Akira oh nice but yeah Perfect Blue is not on Blu-ray here really in the States which is a little frustrating so is it on DVD yeah on the DVD and also Ninja Scroll like Manga Entertainment
[01:05:14] I guess got folded into Lionsgate a couple years ago did it really fucking Lionsgate so there's all these rights issues with everything yeah Lionsgate doesn't really shit on Blu-ray so yeah I wish they would get their act together because I'd like to have that yeah Lionsgate
[01:05:28] get it fucking together now so yeah I watched Akira and I didn't realize I was reading the internet that they changed the dub around 2001 so really yeah so a lot of the English stuff that I make fun of it for isn't in the current version
[01:05:45] they did it to teach you all that yeah they don't yell returactively Kaneda and Tetsuo back and forth as much and then it's not Cam Clarke's voice for Kaneda so he voiced Leonardo and Ninja Turtles and also watched Tusk again for the first time since the theaters
[01:06:04] it's on Netflix now oh but I thought that was a movie that no one what oh wait no you like Tusk never mind or enjoyed it I thought Tusk was fine okay and it's still fine my favorite part is when Michael Parks dresses up in the Wallris suit
[01:06:17] he's gonna fight me just to Wallris so you will die so but yeah Wallis is such a piece of shit that you're like I don't care if he's a Wallris or not yeah yeah yeah I think it's pretty fun I love the scenes between the two
[01:06:34] it falls apart at the end for me when they go visit him in the zoo I think is lame but he's actually said on this recent podcast that like that's a lot like that's a common feedback for him like it should have ended when
[01:06:47] you know with Johnny trying to shoot him yeah but I still appreciate it because I think it's the first time I think Kevin really tried something different mm-hmm I mean his other stuff was pretty much the under the same and this is like a coat I guess
[01:07:04] I mean I have different stories but raunchy comedies whether it's Zach and Mary or Dogma it's still at the end of the day is you know a poop monster and someone getting pooped on red states like the transition and then just because the full-on transformation no pun in
[01:07:19] no connection intended on that one but I I like the ending like the very end of it because I like the way that they bring it back to that amazing scene with Genesis Rodriguez in the movie but I haven't watched it in a couple years so
[01:07:34] when you watch the shit out of it when it came out oh yeah fucking decompress a little bit yeah exactly call me back in ten years so you know the Netflix I watched Young Guns which why was that cool doesn't work it's just like
[01:07:50] the whole movie is hey we got these actors in it yeah and it's like a revenge thing and they're like criminals but not I don't know well it's basically reimagining of outlaws in the old west to make them like a brat pack kind of outlaws where they're all
[01:08:10] look how cool Billy the kid is and I mean Billy the kid in real life is a fucking murderer so I mean and then I also watched Silverado which is is that the Antenno Banderas no that's Kevin Klein oh okay that one I'm thinking of Desperado
[01:08:29] which I never really hear anyone talking about as as far as westerners go so it's better than Young Guns but still it was the only cool thing I thought about it was how like the four characters that come together I'll have disparate stories and then they
[01:08:47] actually flow through one another pretty well but other than that it's pretty standard western fare and then had this get made when I went to the live show one of them was for swordfish so I watched swordfish on Netflix haven't seen it since theater
[01:09:05] I couldn't tell you anything about it and it's pretty dumb still what is is it a huge act like a hacker he's that right I can't remember a single thing he's like he's a huge nerd hacker yeah like one of the most attractive nerds ever and then
[01:09:23] John Travolta is a guy who's trying to like he might work for the government as a shadow like he starts fights with terrorists because the American can't do it it's really strange because it's literally pre-911 so like but the whole movie makes you think that he's the villain
[01:09:50] just cause he's trying to like go bank heist or whatever but it's really to like create this like false flag attack and then it gets away and changes identity and stuff and the weirdest part when I first watched it was when that scene
[01:10:02] when he goes to like the wine cellar and then he sees like the other John Travolta corpse I don't remember this at all but how this game made highlights like so Don Cheadle's this, I don't know, FDI guy Don Cheadle being in it yeah so they're on
[01:10:20] Hugh Jackman's trail at one point and they're like chasing him and then he runs to like a fence that's on a beach and then there's like a 200 foot drop to the beach and he's he decides to jump over the fence anyway and then rolls down the hill
[01:10:36] and it like ends up rolling down the hill for almost two minutes and then Don Cheadle's like fuck it and follows him so they're both rolling down the hill and then Don Cheadle's whatever like yes men follow him around he jumps too
[01:10:50] and so they're rolling down this hill for a good two minutes and then once Hugh Jackman gets down at the bottom totally clean no dust on him not exhausted just gets him to run away and then is merely hit by the car from like the last FDI agent
[01:11:03] it's like if you could just drive down the hill like why did everyone roll down like they're probably dead cause of a straight drop but yeah so anyway I don't have to watch this I mean I saw it once 18 years ago so or 17 would it come out 2001 2001
[01:11:20] yeah so it's been over 15 years since I've seen it yeah and then like their version of hacking is like a 3D model of a cube that like you unlock the different it doesn't it's ridiculous sounds about accurate the way they test him when they can
[01:11:33] do the first hack is fucking bizarre and they blew all their budget on that one explosion scene that 360 matrix so don't remember yeah is it on Netflix? yeah okay now I have to watch it that's how I watched it and then last Netflix thing
[01:11:50] I watched was season 3 of love which was nice little less about Gus and Mickey and more about her roommates and they got show the birthday boys but I think it's done I don't know this is the show with Jillian Jacobs right? yeah
[01:12:09] yeah they said they were ending it yeah so I haven't seen it but that's what they said and then the theater I don't know I finally watched G.I. Joe the movie the cartoon the cartoon movie from the 80s which you know much like Unicron comes to town
[01:12:29] like a big bad Megatron gets sidelined in this movie there's like Globulous or whatever voiced by Burgess Meredith he kind of puts a Cobra Commander in his place actually turns him into a Cobra and then I think it was Hot Rod after Optimus Prime dies
[01:12:51] Hot Rod kind of becomes like the new main transformer in this movie Duke gets shot but he only gets into a coma so Lieutenant Falcon voiced by Tom Johnson kind of takes the reins and I think Brian Cummings is Captain he's one of the Cobra guys like mind
[01:13:16] mind changer or something I'll have to look at that Captain Mindfuck something like that yeah might be exactly that awesome I think something like that I see Brian was going to be like dude I love you Captain Mindfuck yeah they somewhat like this apparently Earth was ruled by
[01:13:29] plant people for the longest time plant people and then humans took over and now Globulous is back he's going to use the Cobra as to turn the earth back into like the vegetative paradise that once was so vegans rejoice yeah plant people either
[01:13:51] it went so I needed to get into the theater and the only noble thing is that even though there's like six of us and I had the front second row to myself one dude bought the other seat at my table what yes
[01:14:08] this is another table in my row how does it have other chair right next to me at my table how do they fucking know each time well I just laugh because that means he's presented with a map of the theater yeah and he's like man there's
[01:14:19] five people in here and it wasn't like I bought mine well you didn't have it before me I bought it like a month or two months ahead of time and he goes you know what I bet this guy needs someone to sit next to me so he's like
[01:14:30] that's my fucking seat so me personally if I go to the Alamo or a signed seating and I'm by myself I don't sit next to someone because I think that's weird yeah if you don't have to who I mean if it was sold out yeah
[01:14:42] I would get it but it was nowhere close to sold out did you get leaked go and say hey can I get another seat I almost did I was actually because it was the same day that Zach was seeing King Cohen I waited outside Zach's theater
[01:14:56] and like right up until my movie started because I was going to like surprise him and hoping that he would come so I could be like actually I was hoping my friend could get this seat he was also dressed like Sean Connery wow from the movie yeah
[01:15:11] I'm here to watch the movie he sat down and was like it's a dog's name in Indiana remember that remember that in this movie and they're like dad what dad and it wasn't that awesome and then there's a fire that'd be sweet if he did that
[01:15:24] I'm like if he did do that he just he just had a conversation but it was a lot of me like I'm brooding in my head you know that's like short answer and all he's like I just want a friend and he starts quoting other Sean Connery movies
[01:15:36] that's what I feel bad about like maybe he is like super lonely but I don't have that capacity at in that moment yeah and then you said hey man why'd you sit here it's the last one that's a different movie that's the Alamo way so more current stuff
[01:15:56] did I talk about Summer of 84 yet no podcast no I don't think so so that's a horror movie it's kind of like a kind of a Goonies style movie there's like four kids they live in this cul-de-sac and they I think every night like around sunset they play
[01:16:17] how's this game I guess it's like tag but there's like different rules to it and suddenly like some of them start getting like the kids in town start getting abducted and the police chief played by Rich Summer he's like the main suspect from most of the movie
[01:16:37] which you'd think like of course that would be the culprit because they're making so much of a big deal that he's it so like the whole movie is basically the one the like the main kid he starts trying to solve the mystery himself and then
[01:16:54] it kind of gets his friends in trouble for doing that who did this movie again I'm sorry I don't know who did it he's done another like little it's like an acronym like R.K.S.S. or something he did a movie I like
[01:17:07] but it's got a great like 80s feel I wasn't satisfied with it especially with the very end like after you find out that like the whole movie they think the police chief did it and so they're like trying to always like put walkie-talkies in his house
[01:17:24] and like sneaking around town and everything and did Turbo Kid really? yeah huh I guess the music makes sense but there's three people credited as a director so you're like constantly waiting to find out like who else actually did it then you find it is the police chief
[01:17:43] and then almost the finale makes it seem like they added it as an afterthought because he didn't seem terrifying enough throughout the main movie because throughout the whole movie he's like doing a job of deflecting and being pleasant then he gets you know he kidnaps to the kids
[01:17:59] and like dumps them on this island and they like then one of the kids gets his throat slashed and he's like wow this took like a really really sharp turn and that kid was awesome like why does he even need to die like for this
[01:18:16] to wrap up like this and then it just leaves you with this dread of also how did he sneak in the house after the parents got back out and stuff like that didn't make sense but and then also watched Blood Fest another horror movie it's by rooster teeth
[01:18:35] or whatever oh the red versus blue guys yeah and that was like so there's this kid who's like really into horror movies and he watches mom die like by from a home invader so he grows up and his dad becomes like a psychologist to
[01:18:54] like denounce his horror movies and the kid wants to go to horror fest and the dad's like no you can't go cause like how's that gonna look I'm trying to sell this book and you know like kid loves horror so the kid goes anyway he finds like
[01:19:06] a celebrity to get him in and then so imagine like Lala Palooza but like for like horror movie stuff so there's like or like a theme park where there's like slasher land and then there's like you know the conjuring land you know they're all different
[01:19:22] like genres of horror but it's run by this guy who is like a Charlie Day character and then so there's always people gathering at horror fest and then that guy introduces like for this one special night it's all real and then a bunch of people
[01:19:40] the chainsaw start killing everyone in the park and you're like how is how's it getting away with this like and how are the cops not showing up and then like there's a zombie area and then people start like rising out of the ground and like being undead
[01:19:54] like aren't these just supposed to be actors like how are they actually so like if instead of like enjoying the movie the whole time and just be like how is that possible how is there actually an end here like over analyzing because it doesn't make sense
[01:20:05] what's the twist and you know there's like you know Jurassic Park style there's like a central command center where there's like tech guys who actually control like what gates open like having cameras are like yeah it's like like a shitty cabin in the woods basically this movie is
[01:20:23] yeah and then they're like well how are the guys in the command like okay with killing all these people like how are they like how getting paid and why are they in on it then you find out like they aren't like so it's like what's their incentive
[01:20:35] like some people think it's all fake like they also hire like hackers to like they actually they think they're playing a video game that's like so realistic and like has the best graphics and they're controlling the zombies yeah so yeah and then turns out it's the dad
[01:20:54] who's actually like why are you spoiling movies for me that I'm never gonna see because you're not gonna see it yeah and the dad basically in got together with the guys in got together with the Charlie Day guy but like his whole plan is to make horror
[01:21:13] like create a crisis so terrible that people will like ban horror from you know everyone's lives and it's like okay whatever I think I like if it bleeds better yeah I saw Teen Titans Teen Titans go to the movies yes I still need to see this
[01:21:35] and that's just just total zaniness it is the only part I really like are like the nods to like DC Universe lore and everything because there's parts like oh this is the hotel oh is the Green Lantern symbol slept like that but
[01:21:48] like the music's super catchy I think but overall it's just like Robin wants to have his own movie and he goes around killing superheroes and doing it yeah that's pretty dark one and they send dad and his parents to get killed when he throws the
[01:22:03] the soda thing and drowns Aqua Baby yeah yeah the Soda Rings but it's like so fast based on Xanadon like I saw like three weeks ago at this point it's out of control and yeah the Slade voiced by Will Arnett also his powers he can like distract him
[01:22:27] it's really like goofy yeah I don't remember in the comics having mind control powers no I don't think that has anything I just think it's they're trying to make it goofy yeah it's just it's so goon goofy and fast paced it's like it's definitely like not
[01:22:39] I'm not the audience for it yeah I mean I had fun with it and it's I mean they use trikes to go back in time I don't know how they do it I'm shocked it's Warner Brothers but they had the you know back to the future is universal
[01:22:49] and they had the full on back to the future March oh yeah in the movie so I was like Stanley Stanley cameo Stanley that was funny although it went on to long I was like if it just stayed in the background that would be great
[01:23:01] but then they had to pull into the front and actually have dialogue and then the last thing as I was the happy time murders which I missed from the last episode and I thought that it was it's funny but like it's kind of like a funny one time
[01:23:14] thing and then the murder mystery is great up until the end yeah because it does it doesn't hold and I mean I thought it's an OK movie it doesn't hold very well at the end because I was telling Zach it seems really like choppy because it says
[01:23:28] oh there's Elizabeth Banks and then you go wait so she's not involved but she is involved there's a lot of logic gaps and like hold not I wouldn't say plough but logic gaps in terms like well we saw her blow up in the car so like
[01:23:41] was this a UC then she appears and then she disappears right again right right but she's not in on the thing to kill them all I didn't make any sense to me yeah it's like like you're so you're involved with the female puppet I don't get it
[01:23:53] and also like as I said last week it's lacking an emotional core that it desperately needs but I love like Joe McKell's character in it because he's so stupid put the gun down I did OK oh sorry sorry I was taking off sunglasses so yeah I wish the
[01:24:12] murder mystery had been like it starts out great like I mean but then it falls apart by the end it seems like they had to get to their runtime and wrap it up and I was like finish the story because all yeah like it is like
[01:24:29] I'm waiting for the murders to like make this important point yeah I agree and it's just like oh well the girl wants money wants money it's too generic for the film it's for the film that it's supposed to be and like yeah there should have been
[01:24:44] I don't know like maybe 10 15 more minutes of this movie to kind of like fill in some of these holes like I wouldn't mind it an hour and 40 minute movie but they really wanted an hour and 31 apparently alright great that's it for me Zach? cool well
[01:25:02] with Brad I saw Commando at the Alamo oh yeah that's about my list which I hadn't watched in a while I still love it it's not my favorite Schwartz and Nager movie it's awesome why is he carrying all those trees at the beginning yeah yeah it's awesome
[01:25:17] I love that the house has made all logs so I guess he needs them yeah the opening montage where he's just petting the deer with his that just drew some of the biggest laughs in this auditorium but like yeah it's fun I enjoyed rewatching it
[01:25:31] and I liked watching it on a big screen too because I've never seen on a big screen that'd be fun it was nice and like I don't know what the transfer level was on that but it looked fine in terms of quality the one thing
[01:25:44] I had never noticed before because again not my favorite Schwartz and Nager movie since been a while since I've seen this but when he's doing the final assault on the compound he's got a rocket or a grenade launcher rocket launcher he's got a launcher
[01:25:58] and is over his hand and he's like shooting it off and then he just drops it and it sounds like a milk carton dropping on the floor yeah but they didn't add the effect like the rocket launcher is actually made out of plastic yeah
[01:26:12] no one replaced the sound effect yeah it's literally just like a situation of just like oh wait you can't add a big thump to that but yeah and then but the rest of the movie is awesome just like him fucking like I love 80s action movies
[01:26:28] just there's some sort of charm to them that you can't replicate anymore even the shitty ones like Cobra I think it was on my 87 film explosion oh yeah because it's just dumb but in Commando it was pretty fun he just those movies we just got to watch him
[01:26:42] and have fun because if you try to overanalyze it then you're missing the point it's a big muscular dude that kills people because they threaten to kill his or they canap his daughter yeah the guy is like mainly focused on like dispatching with John Matrix though
[01:26:57] he's like really he really wants to kill that kid he's incredibly creepy but but yeah so that was fun please don't wake up my friend he's dead tired that was my 100th movie of the year wasn't it really nice nice I rewatch Cinderella Man on Blu-ray
[01:27:16] because I got a bunch of Blu-ray from work I still love that movie I hadn't seen it in a while though it's not the best Russell Crowe movie by Andy Strash it's the best Russell Crowe movie oh I really like a beautiful mind but
[01:27:29] glad Eater's really fucking good yeah nice guys yes but like I don't hold it as high as the other ones because I grew up with the other ones yeah it's number seven on every list but I still love it it's set in the 30s
[01:27:47] so it caters to me specifically but Paul Giamatti is great in that fucking flick like he's he I think he's Ron Howard right? yeah Ron Howard and nice for us I watch Negotiator and there's Paul Giamatti in it but he's great in this one he was nominated
[01:28:06] for best supporting actor that year too so that's pretty fucking cool for him rewatch Dread on Blu-ray as well awesome movie yeah that's a sling that's a slick efficient flick that I want a sequel to yesterday and we'll never get it I hope they
[01:28:21] come through that TV show but it looked amazing but they have the the Blu-ray has the 3D version on the same disc as the 2D version so like I hadn't seen Dread since theaters so for the first couple minutes I was like did I activate the 3D version
[01:28:40] because I've got a 3D player on my setup so but then I was like I don't know this is how it's supposed to look like fucking bright and colorful as shit and I watched Spy for the first time Paul Fieg's flick with Melissa McCarthy that movie's fucking funny
[01:28:56] I loved it I hadn't really I wish I had seen it in theaters this is probably my favorite Jason Statham anything other than crank movies that's pretty great in them yeah he he keeps telling Melissa McCarthy you're gonna fuck this up
[01:29:13] and then like the very ending is awesome because he just walks off like the lone hero even though he's done absolutely nothing throughout the entire movie does he know that's a lake? have a fuck to architecture lake but Rose Byrne is really good in it too she's awesome
[01:29:29] I love her and Melissa McCarthy working off each other I wish that they'd do another one together and Jew Law's really fun in it too for the portion he's in and also Melissa McCarthy's friend that works in intelligence with her is funny as shit
[01:29:46] when she tackles 50 cent to the ground as a distraction it's fucking funny I picked up the IFC midnight film Ghost Stories on a whim on Blu-ray because there's only 12 bucks that's fucking that's a fucking contender for film explosion it's really fucking good it's based on a British play
[01:30:09] and it co-stars Martin Freeman so that's pretty much your selling point on the poster but it's basically a a skeptic investigator who has his own like documentary TV series is called upon by his life hero to investigate three cases that he could never solve
[01:30:28] and basically it's an anthology movie I got this on your recommendation with my gift card so if you made me waste my gift card on shit I'm gonna be pissed I don't think you're gonna wait, shite because it's English I don't think you're gonna be disappointed
[01:30:39] I think you'll like the way it moves and flows this film's obviously like it's not like it's not shittily shot it's actually like gorgeously it's not gorgeously it's gorgeously shot but you can tell it's a low budget because they shoot it economically but that works in its favor
[01:30:57] so they rely more on tension, letting stuff breathe out but the movie is only 98 minutes so like they're very they're efficient while being patient which I really appreciate and the last 20 minutes is fucking insane it's wonderful martin freeman's astounding in it for the portion that he's in
[01:31:17] and andy neiman the guy who plays the lead throughout the entire movie is great the ending is I won't spoil it because ryan hasn't seen it yet but I feel like while I wasn't like amazed by it at first I thought about it later on
[01:31:31] and I was like no that's an interesting ending especially for a anthology movie because anthology movies to me in the horror genre specifically never tend to like they always kind of seem to be on their own they have very little connective tissue
[01:31:46] other than trick or treat I think but this one's like the anthology element is kind of like a gimmick to get you into this full rounded story so it's interesting I highly recommend it I got the universal monster box set so I've been going through those
[01:32:01] I've already talked about those films in the past so I won't go through each and every one of them but the one I had the most fun we watching was the mummy because I hadn't really I did like the quote you pulled from it on
[01:32:13] when you posted it on Facebook on Instagram I didn't tweet it with my tweeters no it's the one that I don't watch the most so like I like watching it now I think it's the weakest of all of them yeah but it's essentially a remake of Dracula but
[01:32:31] and it even opens with the same swan lake queue for its music at the beginning but Karloff's great and he's obviously the one to watch Zita Yo-han though who plays the girl that he's convinced is Ankh-sunamun is really fucking good and when you hear about her
[01:32:50] stories and troubles with Karl Freund the director you realize oh shit she was a Me Too Warrior before anybody today but yeah I'm going to keep going through them because I've gone through some of the main classic ones I haven't gotten into the sequels yet
[01:33:03] which I have not seen in a long ass time so I think the next one I have is Ryder Frankenstein and then Werewolf of London and Dracula's Daughter oh yeah so on the new front though I saw Operation Finale which is Oscar Isaac playing a Nazi hunter
[01:33:19] who takes down Ben Kingsley playing Adolf Heikman it's okay it's not anything groundbreaking it's like a it's like a TBS afternoon thriller to watch like that kind of thing like it's fun it's serviceable and it makes you think but it doesn't like demand to be seen
[01:33:42] like right away there's more powerful movies out there right now that are covering the similar subject and doing a more effective job of it but if you don't know this story of how they caught Adolf Heikman it might be worth your time to take a look
[01:33:58] and Ben Kingsley is really good at playing Adolf Heikman like he plays him like an asshole which cause he was cause he's a fucking Nazi and Oscar Isaac's good in it too and the girl from Inglorious Bastards who plays Shoshana Melanie Laurent isn't it
[01:34:17] but she's kinda underused in the film which kinda sucks and then also Nick Kroll's in it too and he's actually really fucking good in the movie he doesn't have like a huge big dramatic moment but he's like he's kinda like David Cross in the post where he's serviceable
[01:34:35] and helps get things done so I appreciate it I saw Crazy Rich Asians which I was walking into going like oh this is gonna be another dumb romantic comedy and I don't like romantic comedies anymore cause they got ruined by Katherine Heigl this was a lot of fun
[01:34:55] I really enjoyed it it reminds me of an old fashioned rom-com from the early 30s or 40s and stuff like that where in terms of like it's not afraid to embrace glamour in a classy way the soundtrack is really interesting mix of modern music and also classical
[01:35:13] kind of like jazz jazzy kinda numbers that are sung in Chinese so it's really fucking cool and the two leads are awesome the one thing this movie does so well is that the characters that you're following throughout the entire film you are set up to love them instantly
[01:35:32] because they set them up rather than kinda just thrusting you and expecting charisma they give you reasons to like them or to want to follow their story and Aquafina who was in the Ocean's 8 movie she's again the stand out part of the movie
[01:35:50] she's really fucking funny in it so yeah I recommend it Henry said it's his number 2 on his list I love to see this on the list cause it made me like studio rom comedy again or at least like gives me hope that they could do
[01:36:04] a good job with that genre going forward I also saw the Meg which I didn't watch the week before or the two weeks before when you guys saw it it's dumb but fun like you said it's a sci-fi movie on a large budget
[01:36:23] Jason Statham is probably the only reason I'd rewatch it he's pretty good in it yeah I like him there are certain shots that are really fucking cool especially near the end where he's like nearly avoiding the sharks mouth and stuff like that
[01:36:36] I think my issue with the film honestly is that it should have been an R rated movie full of blood and guts and gore and shit it shouldn't have been this tame PG-13 bullshit so I and from what I read after seeing the movie Statham and Turtled
[01:36:51] John Turtletop were apparently really pissed about having to bring it down to PG-13 cause that wasn't their intention that sucks rewatch Black Clansman great movie check it out if you haven't seen it yet and the last thing I saw before I connected to Ryan
[01:37:11] I rewatched Contact this morning which I hadn't seen in a long did you need to sleep? no I actually I liked the movie but I hadn't watched it in a fucking long time there's something out there yep that's Contact it's much more watchable than what you're describing
[01:37:30] but it's a it's a mechism like I said it's a mechism I don't go back to a bunch so it's boring no it's not really it's a little long but it's not boring like I wish it would who did she talk to at the end?
[01:37:45] she talks to her father but it's not her father because they're trying to create a comfortable environment for her so they can explain what's going on when she enters the universe I need two and a half hours to get there all I know is
[01:37:58] I'm not saying it's aliens but it's aliens and I was saying you need two and a half hours to get there your hair isn't the perfect like you're for that but it took two and a half hours to get there I forgot Jake Busey's in that movie though
[01:38:09] and he's the guy who blows up the first interdimensional portal that they do and he's just all kinds of fucking nuts and he's got that that Busey stare it's a family thing and he just like they've got like expressive eyes and expressive teeth
[01:38:26] I don't know how else to explain it but the Buseys do have that and Matthew McConaughey I think honestly is the like lame as part of that film even though he should be a more efficient part of it because he's supposed to provide these great arguments
[01:38:39] but they don't spend too much time with him instead we spend more time with dickish Tom Scarrett who then dies honorably so it was fun I enjoyed it and then the last thing I saw with Ryan was The Nun yes The Nun the sixth film
[01:38:53] fifth film in the Conjuring Universe fifth fifth yeah because Annabelle II and Conjuring IIs but anyway we saw The Nun yeah it was alright yeah so it takes place at the demon Valakou is I guess he's like the main demon throughout kind of the series
[01:39:13] it's basically tracing how he got set free in this Romanian church no it's a what we call the nunnery nunnery? is that right? is that what they're called? I was in catholic a place where nuns live and so actually the opening is pretty great the nun shed
[01:39:37] the nun house the opening is great with these two nuns they're attacked by the demon and this one nun kills herself I won't spoil why she kills herself but you kind of figure it out throughout the film I love the way they shot that scene
[01:39:51] suicide of Sinekens God oh but you see that's an important part of this movie yeah so they send a priest a rabbi they send a priest and a shenanigan that would have been an amazing movie if it was by Mel Brooks that's what would happen
[01:40:07] I'll give you The Nun who hasn't been ordained what do they call I don't even know what they call being taking her vows she hasn't taken her vows so she wears white she wears white instead of black and white yeah so she's pre-nun she's pre-nun
[01:40:23] and the movie I mean it's it's shot well it's a guy trying to tape off of James Wan and he doesn't pull it off quite as well where you watch a conjuring film James Wan is really good at setting up the actors
[01:40:39] this guy tried to set him up but just not quite as effective and he does this thing where he's trying to do the out of focus like let your eyes focus into the scene thing where it's out of focus but then in focus and he does it sporadically
[01:40:51] and in weird places that don't make sense in the movie yeah so when James Wan has stuff going on in the background it just happens in this one every time Valak showed up in the background it went he just gave a cue and I get they're trying to
[01:41:06] make sense of the audience thing but it was alright if it's a better than Annabelle but it's not better than the conjuring too is how I put them or Annabelle creation or Annabelle creation yeah so I think yeah I still have to see creation but I no it's
[01:41:25] I don't it's enough to keep me interested in that universe yeah it's an interesting story and the thing is I don't like I don't think I necessarily needed a prequel for the nun but it's okay for what I got yeah it's fine
[01:41:40] I like the way they connected it to the first conjuring at the end yeah it's not really scary because you kind of know where you're going yeah you know I rewatched the opening to the conjuring to see and that it's exactly that way
[01:41:52] I didn't know if they maybe reshotted or reedited it for the nun oh my I guess not but it's actually I really like the character of Frenchie I'd like him because at the beginning oh he's just the well he disappears for a minute too
[01:42:08] but he's kind of cool at the end I didn't like the super over the top supernatural stuff with they deal with the blood of Christ in it and it's just it's too far-fetched where the conjuring is so grounded in reality I do like that moment though where she
[01:42:24] does what she does what Jesus is blood yeah I know it's cool it looks great spoilers you need Jesus's blood to defeat evil guys it looks great his actual blood and even scary also I thought Demian Barshere who if you don't know him he was in hateful eight
[01:42:39] in that Paul White's movie about a gardener in LA but I wish they'd given him more to do yeah because he seemed kind of like a tool like or like I don't know how to put it like he doesn't like he has a backstory
[01:42:56] involving an exorcism that went wrong but I don't really get a lot of time with that that I would have liked he's I don't feel his guilt very much and also Tessa Farmiga's character who's really good in the movie she's really good but
[01:43:12] her character is kind of ill-defined at moments it is it makes more sense when you find out the twist what's really going on with why she's there yeah but even then I'm still kind of like well you didn't really do a great job at giving
[01:43:25] I don't need you to tell me but give me some breadcrumbs to follow to the gingerbread house that you're creating yeah it is alright yeah I mean it's definitely worth watching yeah but you know caution it's not gonna blow your mind nope conjuring three will apparently though
[01:43:43] we'll see also I want to make a college comedy called none house done I watched a few things on Netflix they released a cartoon called Paradise PD about it's made by the guys Brickleberry without Daniel Tosh so just the same animation studio and writers it's about this
[01:44:03] inept police department it's really raunchy but it's really funny the opening is this kid his dad's super cop and he's this chief of the police department and so all he wants to be is be a cop like his dad and one day his dad's like fucking his mom
[01:44:21] and the kid comes in and he thinks his mom's in trouble because he hears like and he's like daddy I'm a cop like you and he has his gun and so he pulls a trigger and blows off one of his dad's balls and then they show it
[01:44:35] it's like a scrotum and he does it again and it's tons of curse words there's a dog like Brian from Family Guy but all he does is do drugs and so he's a drug sniffing dog but he only stays in the evidence room and does drugs and then
[01:44:49] he gives I forget what drug he gives to all the dogs in town but it has chocolate in it so he's like what am I going to do and then the scene cuts and it comes into the chief and says I forget the dog's name
[01:45:01] he says sorry to tell you all your friends committed suicide they're all found dead in their dog houses with the same suicide note it's like this it's just a bunch of pop prints it's stupid shit like that it's not pretty accurate to your experience yeah very
[01:45:16] it's not like a great cartoon but it's pretty funny so I think I've watched three episodes I think there's ten available I haven't made like a huge like binge straight through for it but if you're want to watch something that's totally disposable it's great and tons of cursing
[01:45:35] there's hobo cop they pick up this hobo guy and deputize them because they're going to they use them for because they can't afford a a bomb robot so they but they deputize homeless guys defuse a bomb so that they blow up they don't care wow yep it's funny
[01:45:56] you know so it's hobo cop and he's like robocop but hobo cop I also watched tag which is it was funnier than I thought it was going to be I wasn't sure on it I know you guys mentioned it so I first time I ran a movie
[01:46:10] I had red box in forever and yeah it's it's pretty funny it has an emotional core I wasn't expecting but anything with Jeremy Renner was great when it did like super slow mo and he says he thinks I'm going to he's going to catch me by surprise
[01:46:23] but he's not just goes back and forth just a goofy movie and it's pretty fun Hannibal Burris is funny as fuck he is pretty good I mean the opening is great where Ed Helms takes a job as a janitor to just attack John Hamm's character
[01:46:42] how'd you feel about the Leslie Bibb going into the miscarriage scene because that was funny that was it was funny but it was the one moment where I was like oh where's this going and then it then it flips the way it does yeah it's yeah it's fun
[01:46:57] I mean it's cool spoilers because she's you know I like that she's part of the game yeah even though she's not supposed to be and then the end was really fun when they're in the hospital I wish for she to Jones had more to do
[01:47:09] because I really like her and I thought her character was kind of just a foil you know that's alright it's fun she just shows up I don't like a lot of it yeah but the movie's fun it's more fun than I thought
[01:47:20] it would be especially for a premise of playing tag for the first time and you know I even laughed at the end where all bets were off at the wedding and they did that slow-mo of Ed Helms running up and then it got really serious like oh
[01:47:34] isn't this funny good stuff though I watch Operation Petticoat with Kerry Grant where he's in charge of a submarine in World War II that is out of commission so he has Tony Curtis shows up and steals all these parts from the naval yard
[01:47:51] so they can get it going it's a pretty goofy movie but Kerry Grant's really great in it he plays a more of a subtle kind of comedy throughout the film and it's really good at it it's him and Tony Curtis right yeah it's uh
[01:48:05] Tony Curtis is great in it I don't remember if I've seen that or not I probably not I'll have if you want to try I didn't know all of made signature collections of Blue Rays because I know all of usually it's out movie only editions
[01:48:17] and so Operation Petticoat came with like a slip cover and it has three hours of special features it's pretty awesome maybe they do it for some of the older films that they still own I know they have Father Goose too they're really expensive so I don't really
[01:48:29] I only got one one million dollars I watched Hereditary which I think is not good I I like slow burn horror films I do but this one takes way too long to get to where it's going and then it just falls apart at the end
[01:48:49] I don't think it's scary people said it's like the scariest ending ever no that's not the scariest ending ever because I've seen too many films or someone's crawling on the walls someone's acting have you seen it Brad? no no it's the only part that
[01:49:04] was really well done is there's a death in it that's pretty horrific and I think the reaction is pretty cool not cool like oh this is awesome what happened but how it's shot and how it's handled yeah but it takes so long
[01:49:21] for the film to tell its story and I'm not impressed with the story it's something I've seen before and then it goes bat shit crazy and it tries to over explain stuff and I just don't like I don't like horror films like that
[01:49:35] I have the same problem with the shining the shining over explains itself where people think the shining is really ambiguous I think it's stupid I like the film which is the shining but then it's just too much at the end and I feel the same way about
[01:49:51] hereditary because it goes off the rails and they give you supposed to give you clues throughout the film but they do I mean I I wish you had loved it because then we could have geeked out about it together I like it a lot but my frustration
[01:50:09] the frustration I had with it is at the end of the day it is another Rosemary's baby ending or devil devil cult movie yeah but I like the way they execute it yes it is long but I guess for me when I saw in the theater
[01:50:27] I didn't notice the time it's it's two hours long and it feels the pacing of it the direction the cinematography makes it feel way longer and I'm not shocked by stuff that happens and I guess I'm supposed to be shocked when she saws her head off
[01:50:42] I guess I'm supposed to be shocked when he smashes his face into the desk but I just the whole time I'm like meh did you like the Babadook? yeah I love the Babadook I feel like what I liked about hereditary and again
[01:50:56] you're probably going to disagree on this but I think like hereditary like Babadook does a good job at not just operating as a horror movie it operates as a interesting look at a family declining but I will agree I don't think it's the scariest film of the year
[01:51:11] because in order to do that you'd have to actually challenge a trope of horror like the way something from Blumhouse has been doing the past couple of times well here's the difference too the Babadook is dealing with a family dynamic of the mom deteriorating
[01:51:27] and is the Babadook real? I would say no I think the Babadook is not real I think it's the mom not getting sleep and not being able to deal with her husband dying and trying to raise this child who needs special care whereas hereditary
[01:51:42] hereditary decides that it's going to be straight horror which is fine I don't have a problem with it but then I mean it breaks its rules but doesn't explain the rules it's breaking right I'm going to explore McSound care so Tony Collette plays a woman
[01:51:57] whose family suffers from schizophrenia and has problems with it or dementia so she suffers all these tragedies and then at the end of the film I don't want to say why she goes this way so she starts, she's the one who's crawling on the walls
[01:52:12] but so how could she crawl on the walls? I thought it was because the schizophrenia element was a red herring like communism in order to distract from the fact that it was just a straight up devil cult because that's what if it's a devil cult and she's possessed
[01:52:29] that's fine so she's possessed and she can float in the air and saw her head off my yes so when did she go and dig up her mom's grave that is another thing they don't explain I don't explain anything in this film
[01:52:43] and I guess it's trying to be ambiguous but it just it just leaves me wanting more and I thought the most interesting character disappears in the film 40 minutes into the film but she's technically in that whole movie her presence is there and she's
[01:52:59] she's supposed to be the demon is supposed to be in her right and I get that part but I don't I get what you're saying it's too ambiguous I won't see Rosemary's Baby I refuse to see Roman Polanski films right but but I know enough of Rosemary's Baby
[01:53:18] and I know enough of what happens in it and this movie just didn't do it for me I get why people like it it's at the end of the day it's artsy people trying to make a horror film and they way over complicate it and don't explain enough
[01:53:34] and so it's an excuse to say oh well this is an artsy horror film this is a film that's artsy and we can pass it off with a gore and the over-the-top stuff but it doesn't explain it would make more sense to me if she suffered from schizophrenia
[01:53:48] and it was like the grandparents in the visit where they suffer from dementia and you think it's some supernatural thing but it's really not supernatural it's just you know the disease I'd like to rewatch it again with your review of mine
[01:54:01] I mean I like the film a lot and that's fine I'm definitely in the minority on hereditary yeah but I will concede even when I saw it I was like it turns it turns too traditional by the end but I do that film
[01:54:16] I think you might even concede that it's beautifully shot oh yeah there's nothing wrong with the way the film is made it's just the way it's just boring yeah well for sure well it's boring I mean it's a movie I think if you like horror films
[01:54:30] you should see it I'm gonna write a book to change your mind that's alright done Zach you know I don't read throwin' at me this week on Realners podcast we saw Peppermint Brad should people go see Peppermint? I don't know I didn't see it alright
[01:54:44] Zach should people go see Peppermint? Matt and A or Netflix I don't think you need to go pay a full price for it Jennifer Garner's the reason to watch this for me the story while dark I felt like it's uneven for me and there's some twists that happen
[01:55:08] that I don't understand because they're not fleshed out enough but I had my eye was fixed on that screen the entire time because Jennifer Garner's performance is so awesome that it's worth watching for that I missed watching her kick butt so I actually really enjoyed this film because
[01:55:27] a part of me misses action films that are just mean and violent and this film is really mean and violent because it's a driving force behind why Jennifer Garner's character is who she is there's a great scene in a pinata factory that's really fun or sell a warehouse
[01:55:47] I don't know what it is lots of pinatas are in there there's a countin' money there yeah it's a front for drugs but yeah I liked it and I think if you're looking for a mean, brutal action film there's not very...
[01:56:01] is there any funny parts in this movie? I don't think there is other than the beginning of the flashback and one moment where something from the beginning of that flashback pays off again we'll talk about it in a second there's some fun things
[01:56:13] but it's more just lean, mean balls to the wall she's going around killing people here's a trailer for Peppermint who's my girl? has love in her heart and snow in her eyes and peppermint in her blood happy birthday kiddo Mrs. Noyce I'm very sorry for your loss
[01:56:43] we have three suspects in custody but they're all linked to the Garcia cartel no witnesses have been willing to step up these quarantines are not going to be a good thing they're not going to be a good thing to step up these cartels are no joke
[01:56:57] they've got everyone in their pockets you've been through a terrible tragedy maybe you didn't see what you think you saw that's him maybe you've made a mistake number three number five number four they did it the possible that your recollection isn't what you thought it was
[01:57:19] the evidence is insufficient to hold the defendants over for trial you think that you're going to have justice make them all pay five years ago Riley North just disappeared completely off the grid so she spends the last five years doing what training well that's new
[01:57:43] to be honest I think Riley North did this today's the five year anniversary of her family's murder she's back we're up judges dirty cops what do I want I want justice it's not a coincidence that makes this area low crime it is low crime because of her
[01:58:09] at least somebody's doing something find her I don't care if you have to burn the city down watching someone take everything from you it turns you into somebody else social media is lit up with support for her she's a multiple homicide suspect not to them she's not
[01:58:29] out man and out gun how you really think this is gonna go I will kill every one of you and then I'll pretty much wing it from there the two funny moments are involving good so Jennifer Garner's character is a mom who has to work a job
[01:58:52] and her husband has to work a job basically the kid their kid is like in a girl scout troop of some kind there's this uppity suburban or I want to say wealthy mom from Beverly Hills from south Beverly Hills that's where I want to be
[01:59:14] but she gets in her face and Jennifer Garner is polite about it and just kind of firm with it and the kid says you should have kicked her you should have punched her in the face and then that pays off right afterward
[01:59:26] when she does come to her all bloodied up and punches her in the face and then actually the line where she says I'm gonna set your house on fire right now with you in it is pretty fucking funny to me but then she says I'm just kidding
[01:59:38] so yeah in the movie Jennifer Garner plays a mom named Riley she Zach alluded to it her daughter has a birthday party but the bitchy mom had the whole school so no one goes the little girl's birthday party which is honestly sad
[01:59:56] and like made me like punch things cause the little girl is really cute so her husband too he's gonna decide that he might rob this cartel then he decides not to but the guy who runs the cartel doesn't care they go to the Christmas festival
[02:00:10] and her family's mowed down not before she orders peppermint ice cream so the peppermint comes from the ice cream and so Jennifer Garner finds out that this whole system's corrupt corrupt lawyers, corrupt judges they dismiss the trial and she's gonna put on a mental health
[02:00:29] hole and she breaks out she disappears for five years trains like an ultimate fighting comes back and just starts killing them if I say I'm why one complaint I guess about this movie actually cause I really like the movie is they've spent so much time with a dude
[02:00:45] to like shot her and then she's like I've seen at the beginning where she was that dude's like you remember me and she like blows his brains out but then she hangs them from like a ferris wheel predator style
[02:00:59] but you don't see how she got the rest of them yeah I would have been awesome I wanted to see her like hunt the rest of these guys down but yeah she comes back and just starts fucking killing drugs people it's pretty awesome to me
[02:01:13] yeah no yeah and those parts are great I'm not dis I will never dispute you too is she 47 46 oh I think maybe even a year younger than that I think she's like 45 but she's in like I don't know I'll text Ben Affleck and find out Freaking muscles man
[02:01:30] actually that was that was rude of me they're no longer together anymore I'm sad also get well then you're in rehab he's busting out and he's been working out like Batman I think he's gonna be in the new Batman movie but anyway but my issue with the film
[02:01:45] is that I'm not going to go near Jennifer Garner because she she gives her all in each thing she's given to do it's everything else around her I don't like so there's a detective who is assigned to her case when the family's first murdered
[02:02:01] and he seems like he's on the up and stuff like that cut to five years later he's like a depressed alcoholic or something like that like pouring liquor in his coffee and then gets like it seems so the twist is that he's been working
[02:02:17] for Garcia the entire time Garcia is the cartel I kind of like you because I think they set up enough where maybe it was his partner that's what I wanted to be was the partner not wanted it but it seems that one seemed to obvious
[02:02:32] I mean it's going to turn out it's going to be the you know the Hispanic partner is going to be working for which would have at least that would have made more sense. No that's what makes I think he's telling him to be careful who he
[02:02:45] talks to and he's really the bad guy and so So then did he set her up or set it up for her to fail the first time? So yeah so my guess is he followed he got into the ambulance with her
[02:02:58] because he's going to get rid of her Okay so he like followed her out and he was like her family just died I think it was I thought it was just he joined the cartel because he got hit with the with the I'm angry now
[02:03:13] I interpret differently I know maybe you're right but I don't know like again like it even if he gave me like an extra 10 minutes I wouldn't mind this being like a two hour movie. I just want to see her hang those dudes up like Predator Yeah that too
[02:03:28] but also like I don't know like I mean just like there's nothing really necessarily wrong with like the way they're executing it because again like this this reminds me of a mean as you said a mean action flick it's it just seals too similar to stuff
[02:03:44] that I prefer to watch I don't know I mean there's I don't think I'll be going back to this anytime soon as opposed to say like I'm not a big fan of taken but I'd probably go back to taken before I go back to this
[02:03:58] I do like to so a lot of times action films I mean they have in this two words cut cut cut cut right but there's some badass moments like they're in that pinata factory and she pushes over a shelf and it pins a dude against his
[02:04:09] and just pulls a trigger and it doesn't cut it just like going boom and his brain's blowing out I like when it's similar it's in the same scene as the pinata when they're like in the store like the aisles she goes down on the ground
[02:04:22] and the feeder sticking out from underneath the shelf and she just shoots and then his or the feet explode it's oh god it is a pretty badass scene also I like the way she disguises herself as a homeless cart lady to slice those fools up at the front
[02:04:36] of the pinata store because she's like another cart lady comes by and she's like I got an idea you know what's funny though is you watch enough movies that were or shot in LA you start recognizing so the judges house is Buffy's house
[02:04:49] I believe from Buffy the vampire slayer I always know when they go up Mulholland because oh by the way that scene with the judge where she's like I like that scene a lot no she's really good again like this has it's really good in that
[02:05:05] because she goes into the judges house and she says I'll let you live if you can remember my name and he can't remember her name well also his mouth is so even if you remember she already made her fucking mind up but yeah again like
[02:05:21] and I mean maybe when it comes out on Netflix I'll rewatch it again for to find out what the cops situation is but like at the end of the day like it's not doing anything too unique that I haven't seen before in terms of like that
[02:05:37] so maybe that's why I'm not as enthralled by it also I mean I know that it's important in the context of the story but the social media thing fucking bothered me I don't know why like they spend too much time with it
[02:05:51] like if you had just kind of like alluded to that painting that fucking badass mural of her and made that more the center of the situation and then also the cell phone scene those are enough for me but like they spend a lot of time on like
[02:06:03] explaining that people are learning about her where I'm just like I get it through all like I know how the internet works so I know that they'll do research and find out oh she was involved in another case so now before she's avenging her family
[02:06:16] but like they take a solid 30 seconds to explain them and it's like chop that out put something else and like her stringing up those guys on the ferris wheel that's how you cut and replace shit and I don't know what it is
[02:06:26] but again it just it rubbed me the wrong way but and also there's a great scene where they set the I guess the drug warehouse and it blows up and they think she's in it and the drug cartel guys like that's awesome
[02:06:43] and then they cut to this news reporter and she said you saw Riley North get out he says oh yeah man she was fucking pissed she stole this dude's car and drove off fast and then it just cuts to this other breaking thing
[02:06:56] like it was a weird cut but it's really effective in terms of just like insanity of this the villains good what's the deal with his daughter later on like does she get away okay I guess so I hope so she'd be like oh you know what this is
