[00:01:04] This is Reel Nerds Podcast, unofficially the official podcast of Denver Pop CultureCon.
[00:01:10] I am Ryan coming to through to you on Zoom with Brad.
[00:01:17] Hey.
[00:01:19] Zach.
[00:01:20] Hello.
[00:01:21] And Corinne.
[00:01:23] Greetings.
[00:01:25] And every week we see a new movie and we podcast our experience of the world.
[00:01:29] And this week we saw Jiu Jitsu.
[00:01:33] Stay tuned to the end of the show where we'll tell you if you'd see the film or not, play
[00:01:36] the trailer and then spoil the film. We also talk about movies that are coming out on Blu-ray,
[00:01:42] movie news, films we've been watching throughout the week. And also every once in a while we get to
[00:01:48] talk about films that people on this podcast make about beer and karate or whatever form of
[00:01:58] martial arts. Brad, tell us.
[00:02:01] We invented hopsquito.
[00:02:02] Love it. Tell us about your film that people can start watching next week.
[00:02:09] No, it's right now.
[00:02:11] Oh, is it right now? I thought, oh, is it till the next week they can watch it?
[00:02:14] Yeah, from today, which is the 30th through December 6th you can watch it
[00:02:20] on a really complicated address. So let's see how I can condense this so people...
[00:02:27] Tell them to go to our, isn't it on our Twitter feed?
[00:02:30] Uh, I don't know. I didn't... I might have posted it there.
[00:02:35] Post it on our Twitter feed and then pin it to the top.
[00:02:37] Yeah, just check our Twitter feed. You can find it there. That's the way to go.
[00:02:41] We should make a tiny link for it or whatever that bit URL.
[00:02:44] That's the ticket? That what? How do you do that?
[00:02:48] You just go to a bit URL site, put your big link in and it pops out a little link.
[00:02:53] Thanks, Gen Z.
[00:02:54] Yeah, that's how I did it with that. That's how I was able to keep promoting Leather Brown
[00:02:58] was because we just kept putting that... I kept putting that big link into a little link.
[00:03:03] That way I could make a bigger post.
[00:03:06] But, Brad, your film is... This is one people can vote on, right? To move you to the best of?
[00:03:10] Yeah, we need people to vote on it because there's two rounds of voting
[00:03:16] and there's 90 films we're competing against so...
[00:03:20] Holy shakies.
[00:03:21] Yeah, it's a worldwide 48 hour... Well, not 48 hour but worldwide weekend competition.
[00:03:28] Instead of the normal local Colorado one. So, yeah, we definitely need people to...
[00:03:34] I mean, you have to pay eight bucks to vote and watch it at least but...
[00:03:40] But can you watch all of the other films though?
[00:03:42] You can. You can pay 25 bucks for the whole... There's six groups.
[00:03:49] The 90 films are separated into six groups and you can watch all of them with that screening
[00:03:53] pass for 25 bucks.
[00:03:55] That's not bad.
[00:03:56] Yeah, which I bought and so I'm gonna do a screening here one of these nights this week.
[00:04:04] Yeah.
[00:04:05] So you're saying I gotta get excited over another election? Dang it.
[00:04:10] I know. Even if we do make it past the first round, then we gotta go to the next round
[00:04:14] which I don't know how many films that's gonna be in it but...
[00:04:17] It's for audience choice so...
[00:04:20] Yeah, you know what? It's pretty cool.
[00:04:21] It's worth eight bucks. I'll do it.
[00:04:23] Choose the Legend of Drunken Brewmaster if you can.
[00:04:28] What's the name of this festival, Brad? What's the easiest way people define what's the name of the
[00:04:32] festival?
[00:04:33] It's the Four Points Film Project.
[00:04:36] Cool.
[00:04:39] Yeah, like...
[00:04:39] Search Four Points Film Project and then vote for Brad's film.
[00:04:42] Yeah, the word for not the number...
[00:04:45] Well, the...
[00:04:48] Not the F-O-R but F-O-U-R word.
[00:04:51] Four Points Film Project.
[00:04:52] Yeah. And yeah, it's...
[00:04:57] I'm sad for people to see it.
[00:04:58] And you also made a film...
[00:05:00] Your annual Black Friday film, right?
[00:05:02] Yeah, with Zach.
[00:05:04] Yep. I got to get co-director credit this time.
[00:05:09] But yeah, we...
[00:05:09] It must not be that good because Brad doesn't want his name on it.
[00:05:14] Well, I'm the co-director so he's got his name with me so...
[00:05:20] I mean, you don't want to take it all the credit is what I'm saying.
[00:05:23] Hmm.
[00:05:26] Yeah, it's not good enough that I can just claim it entirely so...
[00:05:30] Yeah, he has to share the blame with somebody.
[00:05:33] But yeah, this year was interesting because we didn't feel comfortable trying to go around
[00:05:39] filming the Best Buy again like we had the last two years.
[00:05:43] It was a great idea to like bother commerce that's already kind of on the edge.
[00:05:48] So...
[00:05:48] Yeah. And the last thing we want to do is ruin whatever chance they have of being successful
[00:05:54] with whatever sale they're going to do, which I don't think we'd truly be interrupting it but
[00:05:59] still not smart. So instead, we just filmed something at my house.
[00:06:05] Right on.
[00:06:06] Yeah.
[00:06:06] It's almost done so maybe next week we'll get to see it.
[00:06:10] Yeah. Cool.
[00:06:11] And Brad, you're going to take us around town too?
[00:06:14] Oh yeah.
[00:06:15] Fuck yeah.
[00:06:19] Yeah.
[00:06:25] Actually really just up north to the 88 Drive-In where they are playing
[00:06:30] Elf, a Christmas story and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation through December 3rd.
[00:06:38] So check that out.
[00:06:40] Yeah.
[00:06:40] Brian is a Christmas story, something that's prevalent in your life.
[00:06:44] I guess this also goes for Brad and Corrine as well.
[00:06:48] No. I mean it's what it is. I mean it's fun but it's not.
[00:06:52] I'm not crazy about it like some people are.
[00:06:54] Okay. My dad's really into it so we watched it a lot growing up.
[00:06:59] I don't think I've ever seen it in its entirety. Like I either see it on TV at the beginning
[00:07:03] and then go somewhere or I come from somewhere and then catch the end of it.
[00:07:07] It's super episodic so it kind of doesn't matter where you drive.
[00:07:11] All you have to know is the kid wants a BB gun.
[00:07:13] That's literally the only thing you need to know.
[00:07:15] Apart from that, you could pick it up anywhere.
[00:07:17] It's like literally vignettes about being a child in the 30s.
[00:07:21] Like which means I should love it but for whatever reason it's not.
[00:07:27] It's like it's one I enjoy for a family reason but like if I'm looking at like I'm not going to
[00:07:31] actively watch it on my own so.
[00:07:34] Yeah I watched part of it so I'll get to that later.
[00:07:37] Sweet.
[00:07:38] And yeah that's what's going on around town.
[00:07:42] Cool.
[00:07:43] News in the movie industry is a segment we call Real News.
[00:07:47] It's Real News.
[00:07:57] Alrighty so this isn't any real huge confirmation but it looks like Warner Brothers is negotiating
[00:08:06] for Godzilla vs Kong to be a streaming release.
[00:08:12] It's been reported by the Hollywood Reporter that Netflix made an offer of $200 million
[00:08:16] but Warner Media is looking to take it on over to HBO Max which seems like the more likely route
[00:08:23] given the fact that it's the Warner Brothers movie.
[00:08:27] But yeah I mean this is kind of some news we're going to be seeing even more of down the line so
[00:08:33] this is I honestly wasn't sure how well Godzilla vs Kong was going to do in the theater period
[00:08:39] because I don't know how many people really went to King of the Monsters last year apart from us
[00:08:45] so well I mean I think it's an event film and I think it'd be pretty big and I think it's like
[00:08:50] a movie that probably would play better in the theater.
[00:08:53] Oh yeah like I would want to see that in the theater like that's one I would actively
[00:08:57] want to go to in the theater.
[00:08:58] And it doesn't come out for like six and a half months.
[00:09:01] I would if I was Warner Brothers I would wait as long as I can to see
[00:09:07] how the vaccine and everything is going to shake out you know what I mean but
[00:09:10] Yeah oh yeah.
[00:09:10] I don't have $200 million, $400 million on the line so who cares what I think.
[00:09:15] No that's true you only have about a hundred million on the line.
[00:09:17] That's true I do have an executive producer title on this because I put up so much money.
[00:09:24] Yeah I just don't think that they want to get into the situation like they were in with Tenet
[00:09:28] where like it just kept getting pushed back and pushed back and so they had to keep altering
[00:09:32] the market or like the all the stuff you know like the trailers and everything so
[00:09:38] I could definitely see where it's like you know we're just throwing good money after bad so
[00:09:42] we're either going to release it on this date for sure or it's not gonna it's just going to go
[00:09:47] straight to streaming.
[00:09:48] It's like I said I think at this point I would if I were the movie studios because there's no
[00:09:53] big movies besides Wonder Woman in December I would totally hang out to see if the vaccine's
[00:10:00] actually going to release in December and see how it plays out because you know who knows
[00:10:06] by May with hopefully everything will be somewhat normal where we can go to movie theaters I mean
[00:10:13] we probably still have to go at the mask until it's gone you know way down but we'll see.
[00:10:19] You know in the meantime Warner Brothers can do a teaser trailer for the vaccine itself and get
[00:10:24] people psyched for it you know.
[00:10:26] Yes.
[00:10:29] Big movies are back because of the shot.
[00:10:32] Yeah I was on a call today and the epidemiologist was saying that the earliest the general population
[00:10:43] is going to get it will be May so we'll see.
[00:10:47] Yeah I think it's I think it's a moving needle anyways because you know rightfully so I think
[00:10:54] someone like my wife and vulnerable people should get it for those who don't know my wife is a
[00:10:59] nurse and she has to deal with it almost every day so I feel better if she got it so she doesn't
[00:11:04] actually get it you know what I mean.
[00:11:07] So and then take care of the most vulnerable elderly people and people with pre-existing conditions and
[00:11:13] Yeah absolutely.
[00:11:16] But yeah so anyway the moral of the story is until we get a vaccine wear a fucking mask
[00:11:22] and we'll move on this is news that's prevalent only to Henry and possibly May.
[00:11:31] Netflix is giving David Lynch the green light to do a series with them so cool the show will be
[00:11:38] called Wisteria and that's all we really know about it.
[00:11:41] I honestly bring this up because I found it fascinating that Lynch hasn't gone to them
[00:11:46] already because it seems like given how much they throw money at creatives like him
[00:11:51] that it would have been like an obvious go-to choice but because he worked with Showtime on
[00:11:57] the Twin Peaks revival but it seems like he had some trouble with Showtime over that series
[00:12:02] anyway so maybe this is why he's going over to Netflix and not sticking with another streamer.
[00:12:07] Anyway there you go Henry you can get excited.
[00:12:11] So there's been some report about the new screen movie that we're gonna get which is just
[00:12:16] called Scream or Scream 5 or it guys is just another screen movie but it appears that unlike the
[00:12:23] 2018 Halloween reboot this reboot cooler whatever is going to directly reference the first four
[00:12:32] screen movies so it's basically just Scream 5 guys they're just not calling it Scream 5.
[00:12:38] I'm surprised like the S isn't gonna be a five.
[00:12:42] It seems like it should have more of like a early 2000s style of making movies.
[00:12:48] So it might look like five cream though.
[00:12:50] Yeah but Ryan like we're in the middle of a pandemic the world's upside down topsy-turvy
[00:12:57] anyway why can't we have a little bit of 2000 retro feel for this right now?
[00:13:02] Like why wouldn't they just call it Screams and make the S look like a five.
[00:13:07] That's that's what we were just oh oh Scream.
[00:13:10] Time at the second S.
[00:13:13] Okay gotcha now that uh well no because Screams isn't the title of the film I think that's probably
[00:13:19] why Scream is Screams would be like what the fuck is that I guess it'd be like Aliens.
[00:13:25] Yeah exactly I mean I'm just gonna go out on a limb here considering I've never seen
[00:13:30] the Scream movies but I'm gonna imagine that more than one Scream is uttered during the films right?
[00:13:38] Yeah you should watch Scream it's good.
[00:13:40] No no no Karin you'd like Scream I don't know if you'd like Scream 2 or 3 but you'd like Scream
[00:13:47] all right and Scream 4 but I was gonna say they should just call it Scream 5 never
[00:13:52] gonna stop Screaming because why not like I mean let's just let's just make the title
[00:13:56] goofy it's a sequel we're in the fives now does Jamie did Jamie Kennedy when he died in two
[00:14:02] when he made that you know how he made the spoilers no no no it doesn't matter Karin's not gonna watch
[00:14:06] these movies when he dies in two and then he has that video in three.
[00:14:10] Talking about listeners Zach.
[00:14:12] Oh okay sorry listeners if you are born after six what I was gonna say is like do you think
[00:14:20] he has another videotape stashed away where he's like so you find yourself in the middle of a reboot
[00:14:24] like that's all I want to know if Jamie can actually that'd be a funny thing to have in the movie
[00:14:30] yeah but they need to I mean they need to not reveal it so guys like if the Scream writers are
[00:14:35] listening out there and they want to add this in that's cool just don't tell me until the movie
[00:14:39] comes out I want to be surprised and also validated moving on so we got a trailer
[00:14:49] on Wednesday that apparently set the internet on fire for like a hot minute it was a very
[00:14:55] controversial trailer controversial in my opinion to very unstable individuals because
[00:15:05] we got a trailer for Clifford the big red dog it's not much of a teaser shows a lot of little
[00:15:10] dogs looking cute but then I'll know what's this this dog's pretty big and he's also an
[00:15:17] interesting shade of red and then they zoom out and it's just a regular looking dog who's red
[00:15:23] and yeah and that's how they introduce Clifford the big red dog the movie's coming out from paramount
[00:15:29] pictures and the response to this teaser has been met with disbelief disillusionment and
[00:15:37] the cries of an insane public during a pandemic because I have never seen so much whining and
[00:15:42] complaining as I have seen over the Clifford the big red dog trailer wait what are people complaining
[00:15:48] about there because the dog looks so regular and normally doesn't look like a cartoon it's similar
[00:15:54] Ryan to how people were angry over the way Sonic the hedgehog looked for the Sonic the hedgehog
[00:15:59] movie now I will give the sonic people a bone because yes that is a weird look that they gave
[00:16:06] him initially and I'm I guess in retrospect yes I'm happy that they corrected it it didn't
[00:16:11] change my opinion of the movie but the Clifford the big red dog teaser I mean it's a dog like
[00:16:18] I mean if you want to make a cartoon Clifford you can make the cartoon Clifford and make it 2D or
[00:16:23] 3D animation or whatever if you're going to make a live action one yeah they're going to follow
[00:16:28] that Marmaduke model with the Owen Wilson movie where they're just gonna you know make it a dog
[00:16:32] who's red so I don't I also don't know why people are surprised that Paramount Pictures is doing
[00:16:38] this because they haven't been able to get an IP right for the last three years so
[00:16:43] it's just do like what they did with the new peanuts movie and just make it like 3D animation
[00:16:51] that's like 2D you know what I'm talking about yeah I agree I absolutely agree Corinne because
[00:16:57] it's a it's a children's book that where the illustrations where your big draw as a child
[00:17:03] and there's a PBS cartoon that I remember being very successful so my question is why did Paramount
[00:17:10] decided to do this way but then my follow-up question is why was the internet surprised
[00:17:15] that this was gonna happen because also you said this was like the biggest like most complaints
[00:17:20] you've ever seen on the internet I just do you remember like the whole controversy about
[00:17:25] like anytime Batman has been cast okay let me rephrase non-Batman related controversies
[00:17:33] that's a that's a legacy Corinne that goes back since before I was born when Michael Keaton
[00:17:39] was going to be cast and everybody said Mr. Mom can't be Batman and they were fucking wrong
[00:17:45] you know the only one I can't remember is I don't think people really cared about Christian
[00:17:48] Bale Brad do you remember people upset about Christian Bale no because they they pushed for
[00:17:54] him um yeah I mean I remember they hated that Heath Ledger was cast as a Joker oh yeah
[00:18:01] that was a big old you know I subscribed to Wizard at the time remember Wizard the magazine
[00:18:09] they had a whole article about if he was right for the Joker yeah that's that's uh
[00:18:17] I was part of the camp of like well nobody can beat Jack Nicholson's Joker and then I was proven
[00:18:22] wrong when I finally watched Batman begins and then you rewatched 89 Batman he goes
[00:18:28] he's okay yeah like this is the thing I appreciate Batman 89 on a different level now but when I saw
[00:18:35] Batman begins and then got very excited at that you know but where he's just like uh he gave us a
[00:18:40] here's his calling card he's like oh look into it like oh I'm very excited and Heath Ledger's also
[00:18:45] a good actor because if you watch Brokeback Mountain you'd notice that he's a great actor
[00:18:49] and he can probably inhabit whatever role he's given um not really good at his zombie now
[00:18:54] oh is it too is it too soon no it's been what 12 years it's been I've been retired for 12 years
[00:19:05] from making those jokes um so yeah now um long story short go guys Clifford the big red dog
[00:19:11] um it made a lot of people on the internet cry and I don't understand why um and then
[00:19:17] the last big piece of news is we had a death another Star Wars death uh David Prouse um who was
[00:19:24] the actor who did the physical work of playing Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy
[00:19:30] passed away at the age of 85 um yeah um uh arguably Prouse has a lot to contribute to that
[00:19:39] performance because he's on screen um I think I think the menacing posture and his imposing figure
[00:19:46] definitely did oh I know like the part where like Darth Vader would always put like his hands on his
[00:19:52] hips like right on his belt I know that that was something that he specifically brought to the role
[00:19:56] because of his time in like bodybuilding and things like that yeah and um I mean like even if you
[00:20:04] watch like if you turn the sound off and just watch watch his physical performance on uh a new
[00:20:11] hope when he's uh interrogating Leia and then trying like trying to find where the where the
[00:20:15] plans are like he's scary as shit even without James Earl Jones' voice um now his if you watch the
[00:20:23] audio with his voice it's clear that they needed to change that voice um but Prouse was not just
[00:20:29] Darth Vader he also played um uh the Frankenstein monster in horror of Frankenstein in 1970
[00:20:36] and then Frankenstein and the monster from hell in 1974 um he was also a bearded torturer in
[00:20:43] carry on Henry the fit in Henry the eighth in 1971 and is an executioner in a movie called
[00:20:50] The People That Time Forgot in 1977 um and he also popped up in small little areas in the
[00:20:56] Beverly Hills, Billy's Doctor Who, The Saint um and so yeah he had he had an eclectic little
[00:21:04] career going on in the 60s 70s and 80s so um and uh I didn't know this apparently he had a
[00:21:10] he had a small hand in getting Christopher Reeves um in the role of Superman so that's pretty neat
[00:21:16] um so yeah but 85 um thank you David Prouse for all the things you brought to a wonderful galaxy
[00:21:22] far far away. Amen. Yeah and now we can eat Star Wars Thanksgiving dinner.
[00:21:30] I just I gotta say like when I heard that news I was so and I'm still just terrified that something's
[00:21:37] gonna happen to James Earl Jones because I'm like oh no like I can't lose both my Darth Vader's
[00:21:42] this year like fuck 2020. It would be interesting because then that would make coming to America
[00:21:49] his last movie because I believe he's in it. Well I mean I know he's like
[00:21:56] ancient he's like 90 I think so. Oh he's immortal the only thing that could kill him is COVID that's
[00:22:02] why we've got to protect him. Yeah otherwise he's immortal. I mean Maggie Smith like just
[00:22:07] nothing happened to either of those two during 2020. I have to imagine Maggie Smith would chase away
[00:22:12] Corona with a broom because that's just how I picture Maggie Smith doing that. No no no no
[00:22:17] she would she would sass COVID so much it wouldn't even get within 10 feet of her. Oh oh
[00:22:24] you know what I think you and Ryan would agree with me on this with Harry Potter knowledge.
[00:22:29] She would scold the virus like very harshly in the middle of a classroom full of other
[00:22:34] wizard children. I'm surprised that Ryan didn't accuse her of like throwing tea on it.
[00:22:42] No because I like her and stuff I don't recognize her in Downton Abbey.
[00:22:47] She's excellent in that show. I'm sure she is. You know in a very
[00:22:54] that is an excellent cast but she is undoubtedly the best I think her performance is the best
[00:23:01] out of everybody. I'm sorry what about Paddington dad Hugh Bonneville is he good?
[00:23:08] His character is kind of a terrible person sometimes so. He added sugar to his teeth
[00:23:15] and you don't do that. No he like gambled the family fortune on a railway thing.
[00:23:22] That was delivering tea. And he like cheated on his wife. He's kind of a with a tea bear.
[00:23:29] No it's one of the maids. Geez Ryan just watch the show if you're gonna make jokes about it.
[00:23:34] No no Ryan he treated on his wife while drinking tea. Totally. What a jerk.
[00:23:42] That's the only way people are British people are allowed to be unfaithful is if they're drinking tea.
[00:23:48] Or if they're at a cricket match. Why do you think they love tea so much? I want Ryan to go to the UN
[00:23:57] and talk about why we should have an embargo on Downton Abbey. A BBC product.
[00:24:04] I'm pretty sure it's like co-made with PBS and that's why they get to air it over here so.
[00:24:10] Yeah but I think it's a co-American production so. I've still got the first two seasons I still need
[00:24:18] to sit down and finally watch Downton so. Watch it. My grandmother loves that show that's why
[00:24:24] I'm probably gonna put it on the front of my TV watching list because my grandmother rocks.
[00:24:30] First season's great and the second season's even better and then after that it's kind of like
[00:24:35] it's okay. But anyway yeah that's news. Movies come out. DVD releases in Blu-ray.
[00:24:49] Okay. Not like on Blu-ray or anything. No because you guys are really great interrupting me
[00:24:58] so I'm just gonna make it really short now. This just in off the wire this new Blu-ray coming out.
[00:25:03] Except for Brad. Brad thank you for listening intently to everything I have to say. Absolutely buddy.
[00:25:08] Thank you. It's just off the wire a new Blu-ray coming out called Ryan Drinks Tea.
[00:25:16] It's a British film designed specifically to annoy Ryan but in actual news.
[00:25:22] Um Popeye already came out on Blu-ray right the Robin Williams version. I don't think so.
[00:25:29] Well then this might be the first time it's the 40th anniversary so you can pick up Popeye
[00:25:34] with Robin Williams and Shelley DeBall that movie is pretty adorable.
[00:25:39] And it's weird as fuck. But yeah but like it's it's weird because I didn't like it as a kid
[00:25:46] but if you watch it within the context of it just him Robert Altman trying to make a cartoon
[00:25:53] movie he kind of succeeds. It's not great. He just kind of succeeds. But anyway I think the big release
[00:26:02] which you may want to wait on because I think we'll get a better version of it down the line
[00:26:07] is the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Hobbit trilogies are coming to 4k.
[00:26:11] Yeah they already announced next summer they're gonna have
[00:26:18] the special features and new special features for it.
[00:26:21] Yeah so you might want to wait on that but if you can't wait or you're an extreme collector
[00:26:27] you can get two different versions of it in standard and you can also get some nice steel
[00:26:31] books. So there you go there's your options for that. Also on 4k is Beverly Hills Cup
[00:26:38] which seems like that should have happened a while back but better late than never.
[00:26:43] Where's the bananas at?
[00:26:49] Now I'm just thinking of Clark's the cartoon.
[00:26:51] Billy I need your help. All right Axel.
[00:26:56] And then speaking of Eddie Murphy we also have a 4k of Coming to America coming out this week
[00:27:02] tying in nicely with the eventual March release of Coming to America.
[00:27:06] See there's the two in the middle guys. Also yeah I this definitely is the first time for this you
[00:27:12] can get the Blade in 4k so that's pretty neat and then let's see I think the one that Ryan
[00:27:22] definitely has coming and one that I need to still order is the Bugs Bunny 80th anniversary
[00:27:26] collector set and you can get the best part is I get a Funko Pop keychain with it.
[00:27:33] And not only that Ryan I believe it's glittery or sparkly or something.
[00:27:38] Oh dude you didn't even tell me that part.
[00:27:41] I mean some people might say it's the 40 cartoons that it haven't been released on home video but
[00:27:45] I'm gonna go with freaking the sparkly Bugs Bunny Funko Pop.
[00:27:50] Let's be honest they're all gonna toss their Blu-rays in the garbage and just take the
[00:27:54] Funko Pop that's why they're paying a hundred dollars. No you're buying it because you're
[00:27:59] getting nice remastered cartoons that have taken forever to get out to us.
[00:28:06] And I was reading a review of it and they also have I think 12 bonus cartoons from the new Looney
[00:28:13] Toons. Yep and they also have a new documentary on Bugs Bunny I believe so yeah yeah yeah so yeah
[00:28:21] please pick it up because again if we keep buying Looney Toons things they'll give me
[00:28:25] the Daffy Duck 101 that I want and I want that guys every day every day yeah I know
[00:28:32] here's the thing guys if I don't get it I'll keep texting Ryan about it and then Ryan will go insane
[00:28:36] so you don't want Ryan to go insane right? I'm pretty sure he already is.
[00:28:43] Ryan that's silly I just don't give a darn. That was my Daffy Duck I'm glad Zach who's the only
[00:28:50] one who picked up on Crazy Daffy Duck. I knew what you were doing. Not only that Ryan here I'll get
[00:28:58] nerdy for a second Ryan you were totally doing early Daffy Duck when Bob Clampett and then Robert
[00:29:03] McKimson and Tye Verde were all doing that character at the same time. Yep that is actually true
[00:29:09] because I know I can't do Mel Bonk so yeah oh god it's uh Mel could do wacky Daffy but he
[00:29:18] really comes into his form with regular like straight man Daffy for both. Oh yeah yeah that's
[00:29:23] awesome. Like Chuck Jones is like number two for me compared to Bob Clampett but I will always readily
[00:29:29] admit that Chuck Jones has the best written cartoons anyway. You're also getting a Paramount
[00:29:37] Classics is putting out Trading Places and The Golden Child. Hey remember Trading Places
[00:29:43] where Jamie Lee Curtis gets naked? Yeah hey you remember Trading Places where Don Amici and Ralph
[00:29:49] Bellamy are in a movie with Eddie Murphy and I like it a lot. I think the movie is pretty funny I
[00:29:54] can't I haven't seen it in a long time but it seems like it's the Eddie Murphy movie that we
[00:29:59] all acknowledge is great but we don't rewatch it constantly yeah which yeah I'm definitely guilty
[00:30:04] of that so I need to go back to it um and I like Jamie Lee Curtis obviously The Golden Child
[00:30:10] The Golden Child I've only seen once and I do not remember a frame of that movie
[00:30:15] but maybe I will rectify that who knows. There's also a steelbook coming out for a
[00:30:21] 4k release of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon that looks pretty neat steelbook looks awesome
[00:30:27] and then we are getting the original TV series of Mission Impossible coming to
[00:30:33] Blu-ray for the first time or you can go down the Ryan route and James route and
[00:30:38] just watch the movies. I don't know have you watched the series Brian? I'm sorry what series?
[00:30:43] Mission Impossible the original TV series. A long time ago I've been I could tell you a single
[00:30:51] episode about it I used to watch that stuff with my grandpa the time. The only thing I
[00:30:55] know about it is that Martin Lando was on it that's the only thing I remember about it.
[00:30:59] And their letter Nimoy. Yeah that's true. Anywho there's also a steelbook of Leon
[00:31:07] the professional you can get that if you'd like. There's a really interesting steelbook of Chernobyl
[00:31:13] in 4k that yeah I still haven't seen Chernobyl but this artwork is freaking dark so I'm down
[00:31:23] and let's see there's also looks like there's a steelbook of arrival I think just this week
[00:31:29] is steelbook week it would appear so I'll find something non-steelbook hey how about Perry
[00:31:35] Mason season one. Ryan have you watched Perry Mason? No but it's produced by Robert Downey Jr so I
[00:31:43] I that's why I asked if you had seen it yet and we'll go over to the specialty labels then.
[00:31:50] Keita Lorber is putting out a movie called Attack from 1956 with Jack Pallinson Eddie Albert
[00:31:57] so yeah if you want to watch Attack you can get that. Jack Pallinson. I don't know I'm just every
[00:32:06] time I hear about Jack Pallinson I just remember about a bet that I won with my friend Jerry and
[00:32:12] because I won he had to buy me the DVD copy of Man Who Shot Liberty Valence for whatever reason
[00:32:19] he thought Jack Pallinson was in that movie and I'm like no no no he's not in it and he didn't
[00:32:24] believe me so he's like I'll bet you and I'm like okay but you're gonna lose so that's why I have
[00:32:32] that movie on my shelf is because Jack Pallinson so thanks to him. He was not in that movie.
[00:32:40] Ryan did the Top Gun 4K steelbook already come out? This feels like it should have already
[00:32:44] come out. No it didn't because when they first made it fun fact is they put the wrong
[00:32:51] jet on it it wasn't the F-14 so they had to redesign the steelbook and that's why there was a
[00:32:58] delay on it. Those fucking monsters. That actually seems like the dumb you own the movie how do you
[00:33:06] not know what's in the movie? I don't get it. Yeah people are not paying attention. I'm just
[00:33:15] gonna assume that everybody's dumb except for me on that one. Anyway then Criterion is putting
[00:33:21] out Crash from 1996 this is not the terrible Crash that won Best Picture. This is a movie called Crash
[00:33:29] by David Cronenberg and it's about two people who get off and have sex after car crashes so if
[00:33:35] you want that in your life go ahead and get it. It's an interesting movie I would probably not
[00:33:42] want to own it and yeah that's news. I mean that's movies but cool we watch films throughout the week
[00:33:54] we call it what we've been watching. So yeah this is the stuff we've been watching.
[00:34:01] Brad what'd you watch this week? Not a lot just a first off I watched The Last Star Fighter
[00:34:10] which came out on Arrow in a special edition and I'd never seen it before
[00:34:16] but Pop Culture had made me think it was gonna be awesome and it really wasn't.
[00:34:23] I know I watched that movie when I was a kid because my dad really liked it and I don't
[00:34:28] know like I think I see what you're talking about because it isn't really compared to Star Wars
[00:34:33] it's kind of lame but I think it kind of has like a certain charm to it. No one talks about the CGI
[00:34:40] in it this is like 86 I think. Yep yeah there's like PlayStation level like PlayStation 1 level cut
[00:34:49] scenes for a lot of the spaceship flying around in the movie and it's uh yeah no one seems to
[00:34:57] ever include that in the early CGI discussion. It's interesting that Nick Castle was kind of
[00:35:05] in a weird forefront of trying to do special effects movies that were way too ambitious for
[00:35:10] the years they were made because like he does this and the radio flyer like he he he he
[00:35:19] does some little like tricks with special effects are interesting I guess he learned a lot from
[00:35:23] Escape from New York. I mean if it's 1986 like you know and all you've really seen is Tron and
[00:35:28] Star Trek II for CGI uh yeah it's way impressive. Oh and actually it's 1984 but still that makes
[00:35:36] it even more impressive. Yeah so yeah that was kind of I mean it doesn't make the movie better but
[00:35:44] I mean it was probably impressed the hell out of people in 84 um but yeah the story is just not
[00:35:51] kind of what I expected I mean I'm not sure I should expect anything out of a movie I haven't seen but
[00:36:00] you know the course animated show that's a kind of a parody of it I'd say is more entertaining than
[00:36:08] you know the fact that he's recruited by that the you know this agency
[00:36:14] um for his video game playing skills is actually quite like a small piece of the movie
[00:36:23] right I thought it'd be you know the biggest part of it you know there's there's no after he gets
[00:36:29] recruited uh into you know the special agency and then goes into space to fight you know this
[00:36:36] horde of uh creatures that are attacking um he spends so much time trying to not be the hero
[00:36:46] and he's he displays no like no confirmation of like why he he was so good at the game like
[00:36:55] like he wasn't even that good at the game he he got the high score after someone else had
[00:37:00] already got the high score in that unit so it was a fluke um so yeah he after he gets up there he
[00:37:10] he waffles around and tries to get out of uh being the last starfighter and then um I missed
[00:37:17] the part where I guess the other starfighters got eradicated like I looked away for a second
[00:37:24] and came back and suddenly he is the last starfighter um and then the the evil man from ocp
[00:37:31] and robocop is the guy under the makeup for the the alien helping him um yeah and then meanwhile
[00:37:39] there's this side story of they clone him so that he has a clone on earth while he's away
[00:37:45] and it interacts with his girlfriend and I'm just like this story doesn't need this at all like
[00:37:51] she could just not she'd just be waiting for him to come back like I don't know why they needed to
[00:37:57] see him with this like this creepy clone um it's horrible it's been awesome if they added weird
[00:38:02] alianca vicks I think i'm a clone now while it happened then it totally worth it and I had to
[00:38:07] wait like seven more years for that song but yeah uh like they even show the clone growing um
[00:38:15] like under the covers of his bed is just like this creepy prosthetic like ununfully grown clone
[00:38:25] yeah it's thought it'd be cooler it isn't but what can you do um yeah and then they uh
[00:38:37] the really awesome thing I watched finally is all of the mandalorian nice wait so you're all caught
[00:38:45] yeah I binge that shit yeah it's so good isn't it yeah like um the amazing thing I think is that
[00:38:53] the stories individually aren't that special like they're mostly episodes from other
[00:39:01] sci-fi shows I've seen before um but some they're like there's something about it how so stripped
[00:39:07] down it is that it's it's done you know they don't have characters saying like explaining everything
[00:39:15] that's going on through dialogue like they actually let this show breathe and like let this silent
[00:39:20] character like just through his actions um you know be the show uh yeah and like I think my favorite
[00:39:29] part is the actually the credits like the Ralph McQuarrie style credit art oh yeah it's awesome
[00:39:36] that recaps the show like wow like and the song's awesome too yeah I mean it's in almost every episode
[00:39:42] yeah like that that theme is great and just like this is the star wars like we've been like the
[00:39:48] the grown-up more mature star wars we've been waiting for for the past 20 years um and uh I
[00:39:55] wish I could go to spoiler territory but um yeah don't like Corinne does I'd appreciate it I'm
[00:40:01] like I was one episode so um I'll just say that I'm so delighted as a fan of the books in the 90s
[00:40:10] that they are being embraced so as Evan inspired this last episode so I'm super excited and yeah
[00:40:20] it's just wait have you not watched rebels I haven't watched the clone wars or the rebels
[00:40:26] okay yeah you should probably do that I watched a little bit of clone wars um before force
[00:40:32] awakens came out and I actually was surprised how much I liked it I haven't seen rebels yet though
[00:40:38] yeah I'm sure it's good because I think the thing you're referring to in your comment about the
[00:40:44] books you will want to check out rebel season three okay so I haven't seen all of rebels I've
[00:40:54] seen like clips in a couple of episodes but I really want to watch it now because I'm like
[00:41:01] I think it's all connected I think at some point I heard that that made it into an animated version
[00:41:08] but I'm I'm really excited you know after you know the the the sky the reason Skywalker trilogy
[00:41:16] you know eradicated that storyline so I'm excited to see it come back into the canon
[00:41:26] so I assume the Mandalorians canon
[00:41:31] yes so yeah they don't kind of ties in with like everything from rebels and clone wars
[00:41:39] because a lot of the characters that have made recent appearances appear in those properties as
[00:41:44] well yeah I imagine that the the the two characters from those stories that are the same ish
[00:41:53] probably won't be included but you know there's other stuff going on in that
[00:41:59] that line of books that it'll be cool to see play out um yeah so Mandalorian I mean
[00:42:09] so cool like just so simple so cool and it's like not even that long um like less than a day
[00:42:17] I can watch I got caught up so yeah just cool stuff and just like more mature Star Wars it's great
[00:42:28] um yeah and then I watched chris the story and um chris vacation at the drive-in and like I said
[00:42:36] and like I said I still haven't watched chris the story in its entirety like I came in late
[00:42:42] at the drive-in so did you not have cable growing up as a kid because if you didn't or if you did I
[00:42:48] don't know how you miss that movie because they used to do those marathons all the time yeah there's
[00:42:53] one channel that plays at 24 hours a day I think it's tbs it is tbs I don't know if they still
[00:43:00] do it because I don't have cable anymore that I think that's the only way they make their money now
[00:43:06] yeah I didn't I really seek out Christmas we used to watch it was always just if it was on it was on
[00:43:10] you know if someone else put it on and like I said I think you missed this part before the show but
[00:43:15] I always either started it and then we went into something else or I came in like late
[00:43:22] on it so like I did this time so but it's it's like Zach said it's episodic um
[00:43:28] you know it's just about it really embodies just kind of like the feel of Christmas
[00:43:34] it's based on the memoirs of the guy who narrates it yeah like it just feels like it like just gives
[00:43:40] you that courtesy feeling but you know it's not like the the stories are that compelling you know
[00:43:47] there's a lot of like I think the humor from that film ultimately comes from the idea of like
[00:43:52] like an upbringing in the 30s versus how we would view it in the 80s and now if we watch it today it seems
[00:43:58] like 10 times more abusive then yeah it's a slice of life and you're I'm definitely sitting there most
[00:44:06] of the time going like oh god like the patriarchal attitudes some of these people like just
[00:44:15] I will say there is there is portion there are portions of that movie that I do love because
[00:44:20] of childhood memory like when he uses the decoder ring and it turns out it's just an
[00:44:26] ad for oval team that's funny as shit I remember being freaked out by uh scut farkas as a kid
[00:44:34] and getting yellow eyes honest to god yellow eyes and when uh when Ralphie beats the
[00:44:41] shit out of him I remember getting freaked out about that as a kid that and the tongue
[00:44:46] on the pole that also was just unthinkable as a child but yeah I always love how his brother gets
[00:44:53] like so bundled up that he can't even he just falls over because he's so top heavy yeah it's yeah
[00:45:01] there again there are fun memories of it but I mean as Brad said like it's not something you're
[00:45:05] gonna actively seek out unless you grew up grew up with it or the lamp lamp's pretty good
[00:45:12] yeah and then christmas vacation is just like the best like I think everything that goes on
[00:45:21] that movie that everyone has experienced at some point in their lives regarding christmas
[00:45:27] um I was trying to think like what would I do differently for this movie and I couldn't
[00:45:32] like I was like they put everything in there I don't know where else you would go with it
[00:45:36] no it's it's pretty much everything you'd want out of a vacation movie that's set at home like
[00:45:42] yeah it hits it hits the spirit very well only the odd only the odd number of vacation movies are good
[00:45:51] the opposite of star trek
[00:45:54] right she passed away 30 years ago the blessing
[00:46:02] I pledge allegiance to the flag oh my gosh I love that movie
[00:46:10] but she's my favorite character in it she's so weird yeah I think my favorite part is just the
[00:46:16] squirrel in a tree like they can't find any turns around it's on his back the whole time
[00:46:20] yeah yeah anyway I love I love cousin eddie in that movie like that's that's the only good cousin
[00:46:27] eddie performance to me it's hard to watch given like yeah oh yeah randy plays a weirdo yeah he is
[00:46:34] a wackadoo um yeah so that's why I watched mandalore's awesome check it out if you haven't already
[00:46:43] ran okay well just jump off of what brad just said yes I watched the most recent
[00:46:50] episodes in the mandalorean um since y'all got on my ass last time for spoiling things and that's not
[00:46:59] my fault I'll just say I wait it is your fault if you spoil things it's your fault no it's not my
[00:47:05] fault that you're behind and it's not my fault that you listen when I told you to cover your ears
[00:47:11] or like leave the room or something it is your fault you don't you don't have to say the computer
[00:47:15] for like a minute ryan jeez you don't have to say anything you could just say it's really great
[00:47:20] again not my fault that you're behind anyway the how far behind are you right uh i'm just an episode
[00:47:30] behind so i know what happens in chapter 13 all over the fucking internet but yeah okay so why can't I
[00:47:37] talk about it because he wants you to be better than the internet room current well too bad there's
[00:47:44] no spoiling bargain on this the only thing that's on the internet is rosario dostens character
[00:47:48] i don't know the context of it so that would still be a spoiler if you told me the context of why
[00:47:53] she's there well I think it's pretty obvious why she's there that character's been around for for years
[00:48:01] yeah like i'm a huge fan of the clonor series so
[00:48:06] seeing that character making appearance my little my little star wars fan heart just grew three
[00:48:12] sizes that day I want I want you to do a critical essay on star wars called my little star wars fan heart
[00:48:23] oh man with a space guitar there are a couple of things about the episode I didn't like but just
[00:48:29] the fact that she made an appearance that we got some really cute scenes and I was just like don't
[00:48:35] care this is this episode is perfect I don't need it anymore honestly this could have been the
[00:48:39] series finale or season finale and I would have been fine with it but apparently we get three more
[00:48:44] episodes so that's cool I guess so yeah the Mandalorian is amazing and everybody should check it out
[00:48:54] Zach all right fine I'll watch the Mandalorian will you please let my dog go
[00:49:03] I just texted my sister for the Disney plus info so I can get on my computer and start
[00:49:08] watching this boom do it I know my mom and sister started because so my younger sister's been watching
[00:49:14] it too but my youngest sister my mom haven't seen it yet but I guess over Thanksgiving they're like
[00:49:20] all right well we're finally going to check what this is about and I guess they watched the first
[00:49:24] episode together but then my sister got distracted with other things and my mom just went ahead
[00:49:29] and watched like three more episodes without her she's like this is too good I can't wait for her
[00:49:36] this is why I can't watch TV shows with family members because I'm just like look I'm not
[00:49:40] I'm not going to play catch up like it makes me selfish but I'm not I won't back down from this one
[00:49:50] so I'll get the next thing out of the way we had the sort of season finale of the Blacklist
[00:49:58] so this is as far as I understand it's fucking Christ shut up Ryan the more you complain the
[00:50:04] longer this is going to take so shut up okay so this as far as I understand the episode that
[00:50:12] premiered last week was supposed to be the series or the season finale last year before all the
[00:50:19] COVID stuff happened and they had to shut down production early so it was like you kind of got
[00:50:26] the sense like you know there were big things going on and it was kind of wrapping all these
[00:50:30] things up but on the other hand it just kind of felt really weird because I'm like eh
[00:50:37] we already knew this was going to happen like it's I don't even care anymore
[00:50:41] wait so they went through a whole new season and then ended the new season with the unfinished
[00:50:47] episode from last season well I mean they just kind of had to they basically just delayed it
[00:50:56] so instead of these these most recent two episodes ending at the end of last season
[00:51:01] they made them the beginning of this season because they are like well we still need this
[00:51:05] story to wrap up before we move on to whatever we had planned for season eight that's what I'm
[00:51:12] imagining has happened and we're not going to get the next episode until January sometime so
[00:51:18] don't worry Ryan you get a little bit of a breather but so they didn't start a new season
[00:51:23] they just no they did yeah this is season eight but it was kind of like I said it was supposed to
[00:51:29] be the series finale or the season finale last year for season seven the episode that aired
[00:51:36] a couple weeks like two weeks ago was supposed to be the season finale for episode or for season
[00:51:43] seven so they went back in time to like re-explain what happened to like no no they just
[00:51:52] like I said production got shut down so they weren't able to film those episodes at the time yeah
[00:51:57] so when production came back this fall that's those are the two episodes they filmed they just aired
[00:52:03] them you know in season eight so then what was that animated thing they did at the beginning of
[00:52:09] the COVID and all that that's what we're talking about right no no this is not that episode
[00:52:15] they just left that episode alone oh so yeah the episodes of this new season
[00:52:26] like they didn't get done right now got done right yeah so that so what ended up being
[00:52:34] the season finale last year they had like half the footage shot already before everything shut
[00:52:40] down so they were like okay so what should we do should we wait to like finish this episode
[00:52:46] whenever we can come back or should we just try to fill it in with this animation or something
[00:52:51] so that's what they opted to do but they still had like episode 21 and 22 to film after that
[00:52:59] so obviously they didn't get any footage so they had to wait until they came back this season
[00:53:05] to film those episodes so this was Katarina Verstova conclusion
[00:53:11] how many episodes were in this new season is season eight yeah I have no idea we're only two
[00:53:19] episodes in I don't know so this season so this season's not over no season eight is not over
[00:53:30] okay they just started brass they just started season eight no at some point I thought you said
[00:53:35] that you know we were talking about the season finale so Ryan didn't have to worry about it
[00:53:40] after well it's like the break it's like the fall finale basically but it was supposed to be
[00:53:48] you know how they always do like the conclusion is like the series or the season finale
[00:53:54] you know no it makes me more sense now I know that this isn't the season finale it's
[00:53:58] the fall fall finale yeah right I was like we had like 21 episodes prior to this and like the
[00:54:06] they went back to the last season to finish it like yeah that's why I was confused so
[00:54:11] anyway it was really really dumb as expected um but and Brad I don't think you care about
[00:54:20] spoilers so I'm just gonna say that red shot Katarina Verstova and killed her
[00:54:26] oh that's not surprising at all nope what happens to everybody yep I know right and they try to make
[00:54:33] it out like is he gonna kill her because they make this whole thing about like you know Liz says
[00:54:38] you know if you kill my mom then we're done like I'm never gonna speak to you I'm never gonna
[00:54:42] work with you again and Katarina is like you're not gonna kill me because you know if I if you
[00:54:48] did you know Elizabeth would hate you and so then right when Elizabeth is like running to
[00:54:54] like go save her mom and she's like 20 feet away Red just shoots her mom and then he just leaves
[00:55:02] and that's how the episode ended it's definitely something he would do yep and they tried to make
[00:55:07] it like slow mo and all dramatic and it was so stupid I just which is so unfortunate because
[00:55:15] it's like this character and I was honestly like expecting her to stick around a lot longer
[00:55:21] than she did but unfortunately that didn't happen and they're just like whatever she served her purpose
[00:55:27] she can die off now Ryan are you okay so what oh thank goodness still alive don't worry bread
[00:55:40] it missed I guess so that weird he's not a good shot but okay
[00:55:49] at close range
[00:55:53] he wanted to live to see that Halloween sequel I guess so yeah that's right Ryan don't Ryan don't
[00:55:58] you've got a bright future ahead of you Halloween kills and then Halloween ends
[00:56:03] thank god
[00:56:08] so like I said oh my god it's all I haven't we'll have another new episode until october until
[00:56:15] january so you get a bit of a reprieve I do you think it's kind of weird that they just came back
[00:56:20] for two episodes and now they're on another like month and a half long hiatus but whatever that's
[00:56:25] why I was so confused I know it's so stupid Corinne I'm trying to figure out which is more
[00:56:31] convoluted Terrence Malick's the tree of life or the black list I think as we've discussed it's the
[00:56:37] resident evil series oh that's right yes that is the most convoluted even though I haven't seen
[00:56:42] anything past the first one yes no I'd say the black list is still the most convoluted like
[00:56:47] Corinne and I were messing to each other I totally forgot she had a sister oh yeah
[00:56:51] she's got a half sister floating around somewhere that was like I don't even remember what happened to that
[00:56:57] actually all actually it actually is reminding me of all my circuits from Futurama
[00:57:01] where everybody's an uncle or a second cousin twice removed he's gonna kill Calculon
[00:57:06] yeah that's what it feels like at this point I want Calculon in the black list now
[00:57:13] I'd watch it so uh one more tv show for you we got the most recent episode of Hanyono
[00:57:20] Yasha Hime the Inuyasha sequel um it's it's still pretty interesting like I'm still sticking with it
[00:57:27] still haven't gotten a lot of answers but I think the dynamics between the three main characters
[00:57:34] are really starting to kind of click and the like the humor is pretty good so I'm excited for
[00:57:40] the next episode um and then so two movies I'll talk about real fast I rewatched The Great Race
[00:57:47] which is um family favorite grew up on it if you've never seen it it's from the 60s and it
[00:57:55] stars Tony Curtis Jack Lemon and Natalie Wood and they are all members of like they're all
[00:58:03] daredevil kind of people back in like the early 1900s and they want to do this race
[00:58:09] from New York across the United States to you know across the ocean and across Asia and Europe
[00:58:17] to Paris man I hope Natalie Wood doesn't take a boat Ryan she doesn't she floats on an iceberg oh god
[00:58:33] anyway see that's a Natalie Wood died joke yeah oh yeah Ryan we knew so I was talking with my dad
[00:58:45] while we were watching it and we're getting into like the trivia and stuff and we found out that
[00:58:51] Charlton Heston had actually been offered the role of the Great Leslie which is the role that
[00:58:56] Tony Curtis plays and my dad and I were both just like this isn't like no Charlton Heston
[00:59:02] like he's great but he would not have been good it's The Great Leslie like that's just not
[00:59:06] kind of the role that he probably wanted to shoot he probably would have demanded to shoot
[00:59:11] people with a gun in the middle of the race so maybe um but um my dad mentioned like you know who
[00:59:19] would have been good that that uh Kerry Grant guy he would have been good in it and he actually didn't
[00:59:26] even say that Kerry Grant guy he said you know that guy from uh what's the one with like the
[00:59:32] submarine movie and I'm like I don't know what you're talking about so he looked it up and
[00:59:36] he's like Kerry Grant that's who I was thinking of and I have to admit he's right Kerry Grant would
[00:59:42] have been perfect as The Great Leslie except he was too old by that point and he was never too old for
[00:59:49] anything Grant I'm pretty sure Kerry Grant still he was retiring around that point he was yeah so
[00:59:56] he would have been he only retired because he wanted to raise his daughter he didn't die
[01:00:00] because he's old oh yeah no he didn't retire because he was too undashing or older elderly
[01:00:06] he retired because he was fed up with everything and like yeah anyone to spend time with his
[01:00:11] daughter who he had 1966 I think yeah and also Faberge eggs pay more than movies yeah
[01:00:18] shitload more yeah Ryan that's what we should do get into Faberge eggs just because like them
[01:00:25] like there are a lot of stunts in the movie there's a lot of like set pieces and everything
[01:00:29] like the role would have just been too demanding for him by that point in his life so
[01:00:33] like if he had been like you know in his 30s or 40s he definitely could have done it but he was
[01:00:37] like in his what 60s by that point but you never lose your vaudeville training Corinne so I'm
[01:00:42] pretty sure he could have done whatever the role required with his yeah I'm pretty sure he ran
[01:00:47] for like 10 minutes in charade yeah I did forget that scene where Stanley don't have to run
[01:00:55] track for 10 minutes might be confusing him with Tom Cruise Ryan I know they get you know you have
[01:01:02] man crush some of them so oh you know what I'm in your head you know what it would have been great
[01:01:07] if Kerry Grant had lived into the 80s like like the 80s no like far into the 80s like up to 1986
[01:01:15] no the 1980s is what I meant like get him in a movie as Tom Cruise's father yeah I know what I'm
[01:01:22] telling you he lived till to 1986 so it's perfect except Creighton Nelson and all the right moves
[01:01:28] Kerry Grant I've been with Tom Cruise have been big enough to be in a movie at that point in 1986
[01:01:34] I guess yeah color of money and top gun so yeah all right cool never mind let's make this happen
[01:01:41] in our minds Ryan anyway the great race is awesome and I highly recommend everybody check it out
[01:01:48] it's kind of long but I feel like it has a good pace to it and keeps you engaged so it doesn't really
[01:01:54] feel as long as it is it's a fun time I think it's one that you've listed as one you wanted to talk
[01:01:59] about on the show so definitely I could talk about that movie all day I love it okay so um
[01:02:05] I'll talk about this one holiday rom-com I watched on Netflix called The Holiday
[01:02:12] hey before you do that fun fact of holiday um the lady who wrote that script
[01:02:19] is the second person to die in Jason Takes Manhattan
[01:02:24] but really yeah so sometimes your career she went from an actress and she does uh
[01:02:30] she writes screenplays and directs movies now so she has a nice career what's her name
[01:02:37] something some lady yeah the the script actually isn't like for the genre I think the script is really
[01:02:46] strong but it's just it falls into a lot of the same tropes that you're used to seeing in like
[01:02:51] Christmas rom-coms so it's okay um it's better than most of the Christmas rom-coms I've seen
[01:03:02] but it's still like you know you have to know what you're getting into which admittedly it is rated R
[01:03:09] or TVMA or whatever there's like the first thing that the main character says on screen is fuck
[01:03:15] Christmas or like fuck the holidays or something like that it's like holy shit wait I think it'll
[01:03:20] hold up my daily conversations I know right but I thought oh you know this is gonna be one of
[01:03:26] those like knockoff hallmark Christmas movies oh no first thing out of the gate is the F bomb
[01:03:32] okay well I gotta change my expectations and then they you know either talk about or insinuate like
[01:03:39] sex acts and the guys finger gets blown off at one point there's just a lot that happens
[01:03:46] um but I will say I appreciate the fact that it does kind of pivot around Christmas and
[01:03:52] Thanksgiving you know the Christmas season but it does cover other holidays so it doesn't feel like
[01:03:59] just a Christmas movie like you get a little bit more diversity of your holidays the premise is that
[01:04:05] these two people are tired of their shitty situations and their love lives and they decide
[01:04:12] that they're gonna just have like a casual platonic um hangout like on the holidays that
[01:04:19] basically they get to hang out together no pressure no expectations and they you know of
[01:04:26] course fall in love and all this stuff but it's pretty fun like I said I thought that some of the
[01:04:34] some of the humor was pretty clever but like I said you just have to know what you're getting into
[01:04:40] but didn't we have this this area covered with no strings attached and um friends with benefits
[01:04:48] like those Christmas movies no I guess yeah I guess the angle is it's a Christmas version of those
[01:04:53] movies yeah pretty much you know and I thought people would be more surprised if my rom-com
[01:04:59] holiday knowledge I just dropped I'm I was surprised I just didn't say anything Tiffany
[01:05:06] Paulson like I I I didn't realize she was in Jason takes I don't remember that but yeah she's uh
[01:05:13] the girl on the boat at the beginning do you follow her on Twitter or something how do you
[01:05:17] know that Ryan well no he's just an adjacent head yeah that and so uh I'm working on my top 20 releases
[01:05:26] of uh this year so I have a really really big like uh Friday the 13th review that I'm writing
[01:05:33] and so um I do research and um so I brought up the IMDB page of Jason takes man hat and
[01:05:42] and um I go through the actors and see what's going on and yep that's when I found out she's
[01:05:48] the writer on holiday oh have you seen it uh no okay are you going to recommend those movies to me
[01:05:57] well maybe you and Laura watch it one night when kelin's gone to bed maybe one day
[01:06:05] so anyway that's what I've been watching cut to tomorrow Laura just goes Ryan let's have a holiday
[01:06:13] no you know what Ryan maybe I need to maybe I need to send her a message and be like you know
[01:06:19] what you should watch the world you guys should watch the holiday it's super cute you would
[01:06:23] like it I picked up a shift that night
[01:06:28] Ren why are you why are you devious towards Ryan's marriage and you know what else Laura you should
[01:06:34] you should check out the blacklist I think Ryan would love that movie it's about law enforcement
[01:06:40] and like hacking into the criminal mind James Spader he was Ultron remember
[01:06:47] Zach would you watch this week all right I'm gonna take it away from the blacklist and bring
[01:06:56] it over to Kerry Grant for a minute if you don't mind yes so um I kind of talked a little bit
[01:07:02] about it last week but I wanted to elaborate further I rewatched a movie called only angels have
[01:07:06] wings um which is a uh Howard Hawks film I hadn't watched the criterion before and the transfer
[01:07:13] looked fucking incredible um I was it's one of those ones that when Ryan was talking about it I
[01:07:21] would be like oh yeah that movie is good and then I just waited way too long to revisit it but that
[01:07:26] movie is wonderful the visual effects in that movie are astounding and what was even more
[01:07:32] astounding was the on that criterion there's a special feature with Ben Burt and um a special
[01:07:40] effects guru I don't remember his name what they go through pretty much every shot that's a special
[01:07:48] effect shot in that movie and talk about how important it is for laying the groundwork of
[01:07:54] visual effects and when you watch it like they're pretty seamless even to this day like nothing
[01:08:00] really truly feels like it's a model like everything is working well in that picture like it is
[01:08:06] astounding um and Kerry grants obviously great in it as is Gene Arthur my my new um uh one true love
[01:08:15] but um the one that I was amazed walking away from was Sig Ruhman who um Ryan he you know who he is
[01:08:24] he plays the guy who runs their plane operation but he's terrible with the money yeah yeah he's
[01:08:31] in in normal Hollywood golden age Hollywood standards of Sig Ruhman is a guy who's usually
[01:08:37] a stuff shirt who kind of like bumbles and like is like a like upper crusty like you know like
[01:08:45] snooty society guy like the most obvious role he's ever played that you would know him from
[01:08:52] is at night at the opera he plays the head of the opera company and Groucho gets into
[01:08:58] a bunch of teta tets with him um but he's allowed to have like I've never seen him do this in a movie
[01:09:06] before where he's like he has actual like emotion and depth as a character like so it's like so bizarre
[01:09:12] but then it's like wow Sig Ruhman's making me cry in this movie this is fantastic um so yeah
[01:09:18] if you haven't seen only angels have wings um it's very wonderful and it talks about the
[01:09:23] importance of airmail guys you gotta support airmail um and then um did the film club this week
[01:09:31] they showed a double feature of goodbye mr chips and the philadelphia story um and goodbye mr chips
[01:09:38] still very amazing I hadn't watched it in a while and I actually forgot that his kid dies in the
[01:09:44] middle of it um but it's it's uh it's Robert Donat like it's a it's a movie that like it's
[01:09:53] it's very tough in the year 1939 to single out the greatest performance in a movie because you have
[01:10:00] in that same year mr smith goes to Washington jimmy stewart but if you watch goodbye mr chips and
[01:10:06] you don't cry you're not a human being um and I would question your ability to function in
[01:10:12] society because he's amazing in that film and the trials that he goes through in that film um
[01:10:20] where it's basically he goes to work at this university and he you see in a whole entire life
[01:10:26] unfold in the span of two hours and it's still incredible um and Robert Donat who was in the
[01:10:32] 39 steps and um uh went went went further and beyond in his career but he didn't do that many
[01:10:39] films because he was perpetually ill most of his life uh he ended up dying in the mid 50s but like so
[01:10:46] there's one of those things where i'm like you know jimmy stewart is wonderful in mr smith goes to
[01:10:50] washington but i'm really glad that the academy recognized Donat for that performance because
[01:10:56] I don't know what other time they would have had to do it given his what we now know is like
[01:11:01] in retrospect it seems like the best choice um but then we went over to the philadelphia
[01:11:05] story which is still a romp and ryan and uh I maintain I don't know how ryan feels about this but
[01:11:11] I maintain that jimmy stewart won that oscar because of his drunk acting because that's some of the
[01:11:16] funniest drunk acting you will ever see in your life um when he goes when he barges in on uh ck
[01:11:23] dexter havens um house and just starts shooting off that letter while drunk it's some of the best
[01:11:30] it's just I've watched this film so many times before like I that scene is still incredible
[01:11:37] and we were talking about it like the fact that jimmy stewart and kerry grant weren't in other
[01:11:42] movies with each other baffles me like they should have been in other movies together like it's
[01:11:49] it's it's quite frustrating that they're not uh like yeah and in talking about it with people
[01:11:57] like the one of the best ways you would have done that get alford hitchcock to direct them and both
[01:12:02] in a movie together that would have been like one of the greatest things ever like I don't know what
[01:12:06] the movie would have been but it would have been wonderful um but if but if you haven't seen the
[01:12:11] philadelphia story it it's a wonderful delight of a film um where the uh ever ever frustrating
[01:12:18] but ever-relevable tracy lord um is uh is preparing for her wedding and also trying to hide uh keep
[01:12:26] a story keep a story she's no c-daxter haven is trying to keep a story out of the newspaper
[01:12:33] about tracy's father by allowing the reporter's access to her wedding and uh high society as it
[01:12:39] were unfolds into chaos um and ryan do you remember the movie like all too well like
[01:12:45] to point out each character how do you mean i'm sorry um so you remember tracy's little
[01:12:52] sister dina right yeah okay she when though the i i've seen this film so many times but this is the
[01:12:59] first time i've ever looked at it from this perspective this whole movie is basically the
[01:13:03] machinations of an 11 year old child because when she says i did it my plan worked i did it i'm
[01:13:11] like oh my god she is the most devious child until patty mccormick in the bad sea because
[01:13:16] she lets chaos reign all over that place um but yeah that movie's the movie's incredible you've never
[01:13:23] seen it you it's it's a delight it's kind of frustrating to watch people of rich upper class
[01:13:30] act this way for comedy but katherine heppard and karry grant and jimmy steward itself to
[01:13:36] shed out of it so yeah i mean that's where katherine heppard came from anyway she came
[01:13:40] from a really wealthy family oh yeah very much so like and you know what's amazing about that film
[01:13:46] besides the film itself is actually how heppard had to work her ass off to get it made because she was
[01:13:52] box off i always love the line in the aviator but i'm box office paul is on like uh but she was not
[01:14:00] well received at a certain point her career and this was her big comeback um and i can't remember
[01:14:06] did she specifically request grant based off of sylvia scarlett ryan uh she did um
[01:14:15] and grant would only do it uh for 130 000 which he donated to the war relief effort in england
[01:14:24] his all the money he made in that film he donated yep so the opposite of uh of joe
[01:14:29] biscapolis is what you're telling me um uh yeah so yeah that that was a load of fun
[01:14:36] and then um on thanksgiving i worked um and so i decided you know what i need to laugh this
[01:14:43] holiday season so i rewatched the coconuts and animal crackers and monkey business i did a marx
[01:14:49] brother's triple feature um yeah i these are films that i want to that i could never tire of like
[01:14:56] any of them in the paramount set those are five practically perfect films for what they are like
[01:15:02] the marx brothers are one of those like rare exceptions with movies where
[01:15:07] i don't have to think too hard about what's going on i'm literally there to watch these these performers
[01:15:13] do something that they've honed for years on stage on film um i mean ryan when you once you
[01:15:21] start cracking into the box set like i want to start talking with you about some of the stuff
[01:15:25] that's pulled in monkey business because it's some amazing stuff um and uh i also rewatched
[01:15:31] horse feathers which is my favorite of favorite of their films even though it's the one that's missing
[01:15:36] the most footage um and uh has kind of the worst quality of the films apart from coconuts because
[01:15:46] horse feathers for whatever reason is the one that got kicked around or something in the
[01:15:50] in the late fifties and sixties because there's moments in that film where the film still looks
[01:15:55] like they had to stabilize the hell out of things like images are warped um and there's a scene in the
[01:16:03] movie where um groucho and felmita are in her uh in her boudoir um commiserating and you have
[01:16:12] chico and harpo running in and out of the place dropping ice out of windows or playing the piano
[01:16:18] but if you look at the editing your it's obvious that stuff's missing because it's just been
[01:16:23] lost for decades like due to dare tear wear and tear degradation so um but yeah these are all just
[01:16:29] wonderful films uh if you listen to the commentaries on them they're even more incredible uh bill
[01:16:35] marx who is harpo's son is on the commentary from monkey business and it's wonderful listening
[01:16:40] to talk about his father um uh and then the last thing i rewatched was night of the hunter
[01:16:47] um which you know i mean ryan and i have both talked about it on this show it's it's a wonderful
[01:16:53] film it's it's it's 93 minutes of nightmare fuel for like it's it's the it's i really the more i watch
[01:17:02] it the more i'm like man tim burton like stole a lot of shit from charles laughton because that
[01:17:07] movie is basically a uh a great early tim burton movie in the respect of like how much
[01:17:13] it has to do from the child's perspective how much of the visual creepiness is instilled into the aesthetic
[01:17:20] like that riverboat scene after they get away from the from uh from preacher is just
[01:17:27] uh is still astounding filmmaking um and mitchem is just a god awful like he gives you nightmares
[01:17:36] to this day and this movie is over 70 years old at this point um so like eight or like 60 70 years
[01:17:45] old but it is just remarkable i'll tell you the one thing that i hadn't watched in uh watched in a
[01:17:51] while though um since getting the release was charles laughton directs which is that bonus
[01:17:56] discs on the criterion um i think if you are a filmmaker listening to this podcast for whatever
[01:18:03] reason and you want to learn a lot about not just directing but also understanding what directing
[01:18:10] entails from multiple points of view that is one of the most undoubtedly wonderful resources you
[01:18:16] can have at your disposal it's two and a half hours of the outtakes where you hear laughton
[01:18:21] directing his actors and it is just remarkable um and it also dispels a lot of those rumors
[01:18:27] about him being annoyed with the children or having difficulty with the actors like he's
[01:18:33] he's just as demanding but loving as any director who's gotten positive reception from his actors so
[01:18:42] you know it's it's kind of a shame that laughton got um had that film get kicked around the way
[01:18:48] it did by the studio but anyway that's all i watched this week um yeah i only watched three things but
[01:18:58] i finally was able to finish my oven in the chip monks quadrilogy um with uh the road chip which
[01:19:07] is the fourth and final film of this incredible franchise wait ryan you didn't see it opening
[01:19:12] weekend instead of that star wars movie i know i know i know um ryan how many brain cells would you
[01:19:22] say you've lost while watching these movies like just just ballpark it was even though so in this one
[01:19:28] david is going to miami but he only has a plus one but he has three uh chip monks at his house
[01:19:37] who's he gonna take uh his new girlfriend and her son is a punk ass teenager who's mean to the chip
[01:19:45] monks wait you believe it you can't be mean to the alvin simon and theodore are american treasures
[01:19:52] you can't be abusive to them but then they team up because they think that david is going to propose
[01:19:58] to his girlfriend down there and they don't want to be a family together so then they create havoc
[01:20:04] but guys i'm not going to spoil this for you but they might work out their differences towards the end
[01:20:11] of the film but that sounds ridiculous ryan why would they ever do that yeah i doubt that that's
[01:20:18] gonna happen i'm pretty sure that they're all just gonna go their own way and be miserable how does
[01:20:24] you how does david cross fit into all this so david cross isn't in this one oh he he escaped
[01:20:31] yeah tony tony hail is the uh bad guy oh come on yeah so uh if i had to rank the chip monk movies guys
[01:20:40] it's alvin and chip monks is the best uh the squeak wool is a second best road chip follows and then
[01:20:48] chip rekt is probably the worst but it does get the most laughs with david cross because he plays
[01:20:53] this like uh seagull on a cruise ship and he doesn't wear anything else throughout the whole film except
[01:21:00] this seagull costume so it's pretty funny um and he knows that it's stupid so you know oh yeah he delivers
[01:21:09] every line is super hammy so it's kind of fun you can't you you can't give shit to david cross or
[01:21:14] tony hail because they need a paycheck like i'm not gonna you know uh it's funny kellen loves these
[01:21:20] movies and they're what i mean they're harmless family movies but they're not that great i liked the
[01:21:27] first one in the second one was okay yeah i think they're okay they're not great they exist yeah
[01:21:34] i love the cartoon when i was little oh yeah i don't know if i'd i don't know if i'd still like it i'd
[01:21:38] have to uh have to have to watch it i don't know do you have the do you have a dvd of it like
[01:21:44] did they know i haven't seen them in 30 years probably um i mean i could still sing the theme song
[01:21:51] but you know that's that's about it i mean no matter how much time goes on they'll still want a hula
[01:21:58] hoop for christmas so that's right uh and the only two other things i watched is you know i i worked
[01:22:07] 12 hour shifts all week and so i would just when i get home and wake up at like after only sleeping
[01:22:13] three or four hours i just scroll through my streaming stuff and i would mark things that came out this
[01:22:19] year that i haven't seen um so i watched palm springs which is um a lonely island movie that andy
[01:22:27] samberg is in with um the lady who plays the mother from how i met your mother and i was sure
[01:22:35] it was weeks ago right and then i never got to talk about it for some reason no uh jk simmonds
[01:22:41] is also in it um basically it's like uh edge of tomorrow and crowned hot day where it's this really
[01:22:51] weird um time loop that andy samberg is trapped in at his girlfriend's friend's wedding and so he
[01:23:01] relives the wedding over and over again but by the time you get to um where andy samberg is he's
[01:23:08] already done it over like thousands of times so uh yeah it's actually really funny and it's
[01:23:15] funny in a way that isn't that obvious that's funny um like subtle like subtle humor i don't know if
[01:23:25] it's subtle but it's it's not as outlandish as the other lonely island stuff okay so like not like
[01:23:32] pop star never stop never stopping yeah redness they have silliness where uh he's about to hook up with
[01:23:41] um the one lady and then jk simmonds shoots him in the ass with an arrow and and that's how she
[01:23:50] goes into the cave because he crawls away while he's bleeding out to get back into the cave that
[01:23:55] can transport him back to the it's real there's lots of rules um and she follows him in and
[01:24:00] she gets stuck too and they work the whole time to get out of it uh while they fall in love but
[01:24:07] then there's some darkness to what's happening as well did you like it karin yeah i thought it was
[01:24:12] pretty good it has a certain charm to it and i i actually like the idea that you have multiple
[01:24:19] people stuck in the same loop together yeah and i thought jk simmonds like his the existence
[01:24:27] of his character kind of made it unique for me because it's like he is stuck in the loop but he
[01:24:33] doesn't have to be in the same location as them every time yeah and it's it's you know it's really
[01:24:39] funny when uh him and andy sandberg meet at his home and he talks about how he really loves the day
[01:24:47] even though he won't see his kids get grow up it's a really interesting story but uh i assume
[01:24:54] how he was like constantly cleans uh like waters the dog shit just weird shit going on in the film
[01:25:02] did you see the post credit or i don't know if it was post credit maybe it's like
[01:25:06] mid-credit or something where he comes back to the wedding at the very end yeah i was like oh
[01:25:13] okay okay okay i was like i wondered about him i was like i hope that they don't just leave
[01:25:17] him in the loop i know i thought about that the whole time when they got out i was like oh
[01:25:21] man poor jk simmonds he's stuck um but and then the other thing i watched was also on hulu is uh run
[01:25:30] that has sarah paulson in it and oh snap i've been hearing about this yeah it's it's a pretty good
[01:25:37] movie it's sarah paulson plays a mom of uh of a lady who has a lot of has a disability and has a lot of
[01:25:46] um uh it's not just a little bit like asthma i guess disease is asthma she's uh confined to a
[01:25:53] wheelchair she gets skin rashes and she needs um a lot of medication and she's about to go off
[01:26:01] to college and there's i really don't want to talk about the movie because there's a lot going on in it
[01:26:07] and a lot of it goes into spoilers but it's made by the guy who made searching so it's uh
[01:26:15] really well directed and uh the pace is really great it's i think it's maybe only an hour and 25
[01:26:21] minutes it moves really fast um and it's it's a good movie i think everyone should check it out sarah
[01:26:27] paulson's really great in it the young lady who plays her daughter is really really great in it
[01:26:35] but yeah it's just about a mom and her daughter going through life while her daughter is handicapped
[01:26:43] but a very smart and capable young woman and yeah that's all i'm gonna say about it because you really
[01:26:50] should just watch it because if i say any more than it gets spoiler-ish so um yeah just watch it sarah
[01:26:57] paulson's great in it sweet and that's what i watched this week i mean i did show my kid
[01:27:05] predator but that's cool too wait when he was done with the movie did he say dad you son of a
[01:27:12] bitch no so all week he's been my he's been calling himself my pet predator because i've
[01:27:19] been playing predator hunting grounds on playstation and he thinks the creature is really cool so he's
[01:27:26] been jumping all over our house on cabinets on the tables and using his claws to climb up stuff
[01:27:33] so uh he thought it was a really cool movie like man this movie's kind of inappropriate but man um
[01:27:41] so ryan what you're saying is that we might get that little pred movie and kellen the predator
[01:27:51] kellen frost as little pred dad goes away on an intergalactic hunting trip but he has one stove
[01:27:59] away if it doesn't eat its vegetables we could kill it
[01:28:02] yeah theaters 2022 and then there'll be little pred to where danie glover has to fight the little
[01:28:13] predator um this week on real news podcast we streamed jiu-jitsu i did because i didn't even
[01:28:23] know that was the movie until two hours ago rad should people stream jiu-jitsu uh speaking of
[01:28:30] the predator uh yeah if uh if if you've always watched the predator from 1987 and wished that it
[01:28:39] had martial arts less gore and nicholas cage in it then this is the movie for you i did not enjoy it
[01:28:47] i would rather watch the predator uh zach should people watch jiu-jitsu no but i want to thank
[01:28:59] this movie uh in the deepest possible way imaginable because it made me it really made me realize that
[01:29:09] you need to start going back to these type of junkie direct-to-streaming action flicks because
[01:29:17] some of them are films that are bad but they're a good time and this was a bad movie that was
[01:29:24] not even worth my time apart from one of my features of which is nicolating whatever he's
[01:29:33] being in this movie but outside of from that no it's it's pretty junkie garbage i i will talk about
[01:29:41] it but there's just there's a lot of issues from production all the way down to uh like it just
[01:29:47] doesn't it's not fun like if it were fun i would probably be giving it a recommend for
[01:29:52] if it goes to netflix but i can't even do that so now i'm sorry yeah this is uh definitely one of the
[01:29:59] worst movies of the year um so yeah i mean i i got mine on sale for four dollars i hate you i know right
[01:30:10] so key and um carmen yeah it's it's just garbage because i don't how do i say this i don't know
[01:30:21] what it's trying to accomplish and when a movie is this over the top you either have to embrace it
[01:30:32] or you're gonna get lost in it they this movie takes itself way too seriously yeah and i don't know if
[01:30:39] it is you i don't know if this or scoob is the worst movie of the year or 365 days but it's one
[01:30:46] of them here's the trailer for jujitsu you know what i don't understand how the hell are you still alive
[01:31:01] this made a pretty bad fool the comet you see in the sky right now past it is over the earth every
[01:31:08] six years and causes a portal but when it's open we get a visitor from a distant galaxy
[01:31:15] a poet warrior in the sci-fi sense the spaceman
[01:31:22] when he comes here looking for a fight with you
[01:31:27] the chosen jujitsu if he doesn't get it he stays and he kills everything that is alien politics five
[01:31:35] from 15 now you are all the chosen jujitsu fighters but as long as you die bravely no one else will have to
[01:31:54] he's crazy like me there's no honor in killing crazy fly too uh jujitsu is a story about
[01:32:37] some alien that comes through a comet every six years and he has to fight through martial arts this
[01:32:44] temple of martial artists i don't know do you even know what the fuck is going on in this movie
[01:32:50] ryan you don't understand the aliens are the ones who gave us jujitsu but and also isn't
[01:32:56] i don't think they're using jujitsu i thought jujitsu was a grappling martial art yeah yeah
[01:33:01] and and nick was k g even makes the joke about like you know what's the most important thing about
[01:33:06] jujitsu leverage yeah this uh in this world jujitsu is just a technique a random all encompassing
[01:33:19] technique that the aliens train humans to be able to do because they want to have
[01:33:26] like awesome opponents to fight against and so
[01:33:31] the that alien comes to earth and if you don't fight him uh the best he will i guess eradicate
[01:33:40] other people who aren't those people in that cult i guess i don't know well spray you like wake
[01:33:46] explain the movie better than the fucking movie did it which is amazing because that's all the
[01:33:51] movie does is explain itself and then do some martial arts action yeah i get that but like it
[01:33:57] it's like they would walk and they go oh and you have to fight a one by one but but why like it
[01:34:03] doesn't make any sense so the government or the army i love their patches too it said army
[01:34:10] and special intelligence army uh and and this is my biggest complaint about it is if you're
[01:34:18] gonna make a movie like this you need to make it way over the top because it's just it's just not fun
[01:34:23] enough oh did you see uh crossbones give the alien the finger when he died that was fun oh no not just
[01:34:31] one he gave him both fingers yeah before he gets before he gets taught like blown away and then all
[01:34:39] you hear is the slight sound design of frank gillow going like it's you know what ryan talks
[01:34:46] about like the get him the gold and the magnificent seven this is some shitty wild line slash ad r of
[01:34:52] frank grillo dying well even why was the army in this movie like is that just a random setup
[01:35:01] like i feel like this movie could have just it's because of the amnesia plot line brad is that
[01:35:06] we got amnesia yeah you know why does that dude even have amnesia it's because he fell into a
[01:35:12] river that's what happened he fell into a river and when you hit a river you get amnesia what makes
[01:35:17] it really stupid is the reason there is so much uh exposition in this movie is so they can tell you
[01:35:25] why uh he's forgetting stuff so they can tell you the movie but they don't tell you everything
[01:35:34] in the movie and then it's you have to go through i don't know five more minutes of exposition
[01:35:41] and then some martial arts and then i don't know it just wasn't fun enough i mean i thought
[01:35:49] the part where they had the go pro from the first person perspective was interesting
[01:35:53] but then i get really distracted because they would add cgi blood and like smoke everywhere
[01:35:59] am i crazy or did the camera man die at one point like did he actually get shot by friendly
[01:36:06] fire and then the camera picked up and then moved to someone else yeah that are you talking
[01:36:12] about the moment where he gets he gets pummeled to the ground and then you see another person get
[01:36:16] up in front of where the camera man was flat on the ground dead i mean i feel like there was
[01:36:21] a couple different parts but there's this one part where i was watching and the camera is
[01:36:25] following our hero um and you know he's following the same movements and then the camera just
[01:36:31] kind of falls to the side and stops like doesn't move at all and then um you know the hero approaches
[01:36:39] the camera and then absorbs that perspective and then goes on like he had to pick up the camera
[01:36:45] for the the dead cameraman yeah yeah yeah i know it's not but yeah i know yeah i
[01:36:52] so it's not what he's telling you that there is another person who's filming this
[01:36:57] yeah and he's just been killed by crossfire oh it's the it's the best form of meta brad don't you know
[01:37:04] yeah and her name was the alien too oh can we talk about his face for a second because
[01:37:09] i know i'm gonna say that she looks like some old asian guy i i have a i have a great way to
[01:37:14] describe this imagery for the listeners he has two different faces it's either an old man
[01:37:20] smiling or an old man constipated on the toilet it's one of the two it can't be any other
[01:37:25] he has no other expression i have no idea what this face is it kind of looks like the poster for
[01:37:30] brain scan ryan yeah there's a weird composite for that just like it would have been cooler just to
[01:37:37] not have a face at all but with that because the body is actually an avatar and he's never
[01:37:43] actually there he's just fighting through this robot well no because he killed it
[01:37:48] after yet maybe i don't know he he's stuck he stuck grenades it looks like it's got blue
[01:37:53] blood or whatever you know i guess he's not dead because the one army guy was like c in six years
[01:37:58] i was like did he just blow up which is funny that uh the the token black guy in it um was also in
[01:38:06] the road ship so oh you you got a double dose of that but i i yeah every cliche character from
[01:38:15] the 90s that has an age well is in this movie like it and like also the so the whole amnesia thing
[01:38:23] bothers me because like the until we get to nicholas cage and he starts explaining stuff in the only
[01:38:28] the way he can the majority of the movie is him trying to figure out who he is and what he's
[01:38:34] supposed to do and it's the equivalent of all his friends trying to remind him of what he did
[01:38:39] when he was drunk like there is like no no remember this was your plan this was your plan
[01:38:45] my my plan yes your plan like i don't know how much longer i could have stood it until
[01:38:51] nicholas cage showed up and started fighting the shit out of him and then explaining it while
[01:38:55] smoking a joint what was really funny is if you watched it they'd only have nick cage in
[01:39:00] the close-up shots but anytime it was fighting or there's a wide shot it was totally not
[01:39:05] nicholas cage oh oh also also the reveal after nicholas cage dies there's a big reveal guys
[01:39:13] there's a big reveal nicholas cage was our hero's father the entire time and then it dissolves into
[01:39:19] black and white and shows not clearly not nicholas cage playing delightfully with jiu jitsu with
[01:39:25] this child and then it comes back and he goes he didn't want me to know
[01:39:29] like the dude who's in the lead is freaking awful
[01:39:35] he's uh he's he's in stuff like he's in that kickbox revenge thing or whatever oh yeah yeah
[01:39:41] and it's directed by the same guy who did kickbox revenge yeah it's it's just interesting that this
[01:39:49] the thing that i found fascinating about it was that this movie is
[01:39:52] like it's not like it's poorly shot like in certain angles of it like they clearly have a some form of
[01:39:58] budget but like there's sound design missing in the first fight when they're in the in the military
[01:40:04] installation where just some just the random army guys just come from the hallway and
[01:40:09] instead of shooting the dude they decide they're gonna you know do karate yeah well
[01:40:15] good because men want to make sure they can also fight with their fists or something i don't
[01:40:19] know but the bottom line is is like they're hitting the ground in that uh that place where
[01:40:24] he's being held i don't hear any thud whatsoever from coming out of that coming out of the
[01:40:30] speakers in my television like i'm like what the heck like you couldn't add a thud remember
[01:40:34] what i remember and tony just storms the compound and uh well before he storms the
[01:40:39] compound he walks up and the one guy can't like fumbles for his holster like yeah for the longest
[01:40:47] time like isn't he a trained professional but they're not expecting jujitsu rad they're not expecting
[01:40:54] jujitsu nobody expects the jujitsu inquisition or whatever i do um oh and the comic book wrap
[01:41:01] around the comic book wrap around like that was the most useless shit i've ever seen way to get
[01:41:06] around using special effects i guess so but i i had a thought in my head i'm just like is this
[01:41:12] how snobby people is this what they think comic book movies are because i could i could understand
[01:41:19] it if this is all the only thing they've ever seen out of comic book because like it's like
[01:41:23] the angley hulk movie where i'm like that's cute but you don't need it and then it just appears
[01:41:30] by the end like they kind of stop using it like halfway through until the final one where it's
[01:41:36] the uh the military guy who's drinking to celebrate like oh yeah he had to be the most
[01:41:41] important image in the movie like it feels like yeah the director and the lead actor from kickboxer
[01:41:50] kickboxer vengeance were like hey let's just go away for the weekend and like shoot a bunch of cool
[01:41:55] karate um and we'll just we'll we'll edit it into something yeah oh and i've got nicole's cage on
[01:42:02] speed dial he said he'd come over and party with us and bring over a few kegs so why don't
[01:42:06] we just bring him along for the trip for the ride we can score like two million dollars in capital if
[01:42:11] you know we have a name attached to this movie so who's free this weekend yeah it's like okay let's
[01:42:16] see there's ton toni ja well he was gonna come over anyway but now he'll definitely come well we
[01:42:22] need we need international cred so we can sell it in asia okay yeah so juju shan uh toni ja
[01:42:28] oh wait oh wait we need we need an mcu star one who isn't being properly utilized outside of
[01:42:34] the mcu oh frank grillo's on the line let's get him here um yeah like oh yeah and let's get rick
[01:42:41] yun because why not drag him into this um i i don't know what's going on here um i looked in
[01:42:48] the distribution of this like paramount has its name attached to this i want to know why
[01:42:54] and who and what like what if they're doing international i'm worried about paramount's
[01:43:01] business model right now i don't know why there i i i mean like i will say though like
[01:43:12] there are some fun dumb moments with nicholas cage outside of that no nicholas cage is fine
[01:43:19] i think he realized is what he's doing he's just in there to be seen chewing chewing you know
[01:43:25] yeah no he he's he's embracing what he's been embracing the past four years like it's
[01:43:31] interesting because i one of one of my favorite movies from this from this year has been the color
[01:43:36] out of space where he is doing that intentionally to add to the movie that he's doing and then nope
[01:43:45] i gotta put back on the silly hat and just you know go for broke and he delivers as usual um
[01:43:52] just i i love the line he was like uh get my piano
[01:44:02] want to take that out of context and make it my ringtone like um yeah don't see this movie guys please
[01:44:12] yep this budget was 25 million dollars guys what are we doing with money oh man 25 million
[01:44:20] dollars it's a lot that's that's an obnoxious brad we could have made our black friday video
[01:44:26] a billion times over with that wow that is so much for that yeah and what we get 25 million
[01:44:35] dollars buys you a shitty portal with a shitty explosion after you stuff grenades in a
[01:44:40] shitty cgi alien that's what it bought you i bet ten of it was just nicholas cage
[01:44:46] probably i mean and you know what he earned every penny um yeah so next week um can we just
[01:44:58] watch the predator next week i was actually thinking well i guess we did watch predator two earlier this
[01:45:05] year um i was thinking that uh that mel Gibson santa claus movie where the kid hires a hitman
[01:45:14] to kill him is streaming um that sounds weird doesn't look it didn't look like something i want to see
[01:45:23] but yeah i guess so what is it like an action is it a comedy i have no idea it's mel Gibson so it might
[01:45:30] be insane it's it's called fat man um because i was talking to brad this week and one of the
[01:45:36] reasons we picked jujitsu it's a new movie from 2020 and it's only six dollars yeah
[01:45:44] we kind of felt like we could either go back to neerdemik but we also have a film swallows to do
[01:45:49] and i think people need more movies through the list um although i don't think those movies are
[01:45:55] going to make the list but you know we should at least you know try to include as much 2020
[01:46:02] stuff so yeah i mean that was at the landmark greenwood village right before we shut down again so
[01:46:10] um i know you guys will boom me immediately but manx coming to netflix on the fourth
[01:46:18] boo i don't know what that is this is david fincher's new film no we should probably include that at some
[01:46:24] point okay but beyond that i mean like yeah i guess if it's fat man i mean
[01:46:31] trying to see if there's anything else and i don't think i'm gonna like i mean i know wonderwoman
[01:46:38] we're gonna do wonder woman when it goes to hdl match holiday actually i'm kind of curious about
[01:46:43] the holiday now that i know there's a friday the 13th connection i i did not know that ryan thank
