WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:10.519
As we go on, we remember
all the time we spent together, had

2
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:15.039
together spent. We're gonna eventually figure
that out. I don't think it's spent,

3
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:18.199
but it probably should be, right
right, But Mac, today we

4
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:23.199
are recording this episode live to tape
in front of a big old studio audience.

5
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:26.039
Yes, yes, yes, yes, probably hear them laughing all the

6
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:31.679
time, oohing and ayeing at the
marvel that is Mac and Goo. But

7
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:37.399
it is the final day of November, the final day of November, and

8
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:42.679
it just dawned on me today that
I should shave my mustache. Yep,

9
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:45.399
I shaved mine prior to a wedding
I had a couple of weeks ago.

10
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:49.320
Yours is going strong, though.
Yours looks like almost wings of an angel.

11
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:53.159
It's so large. Yeah, mine
right now might be the longest it's

12
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.719
ever been. And it is in
my mouth. Oh, you haven't trimmed

13
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.439
it at all. If you start
trimming it, then it's a take house.

14
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:02.439
You take a little bit off this
end, a little bit off that

15
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:03.920
end. Sure, and I've been
doing that for years. I said this

16
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.400
time, I'm not even gonna trim
it. I'm just gonna shape it.

17
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.680
And that's it. Whatever is hanging
over my lips. That's just But now

18
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.560
I kind of have to call it
quits. So when you go to the

19
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.040
baba, yeah, do you have
him trim you up on? Oh my

20
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.280
god, no way, that's an
xpra ten bucks. Oh but it's so

21
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.640
satisfying and they can get it getting
back over here, he has money,

22
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.799
just a waste on barber shaving his
face. Well, they're already shaving my

23
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.799
head, so I'm coming in at
the low low price of like twenty five

24
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.680
thirty bucks. I could afford another
five ten to fifteen bucks. But every

25
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:41.359
once in a while I'll have him
do the hot tile shave. Goad.

26
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:45.719
It's dynamite. Actually, that's a
good point here, is uh you are

27
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.079
bald? Yes, So when you
go to the barber shop, do you

28
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.159
pay for a normal haircut or just
for a shave. I basically pay for

29
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.079
whatever their bottom one is. It's
like the cheapest one on the menu.

30
00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:01.480
I only go probably, I probably
go every third time. So I'll shave

31
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.439
my head and I'll keep up with
it. And then every once in a

32
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.519
while I get lazy, gross too
long, and I don't feel like doing

33
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:08.879
it at home, so I'll go
to the barber. So yes, I

34
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:15.719
will get back in my cage zoo
keeper. I will once again live in

35
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:21.599
a society, and I will take
this cookie duster down because I've had enough.

36
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:25.360
All right, fair enough, So
next episode, next news dump on

37
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:31.199
Monday. Don't be alarmed, don't
shit your pants when you see this beautiful

38
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:37.639
ghoulish face again, by the way, very very yet another again, very

39
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:43.759
successful November for Ryan Davies. Yeah
but cast, congratulations and good work by

40
00:02:43.800 --> 00:03:00.840
him. One go three, yeah, chop three, King of Queen good

41
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:10.159
Middle Street, entertained time do And
I'm mass and we are the Mac and

42
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:15.439
Goo program. We bring you friendship
yup. And today we're gonna be bringing

43
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.280
you some of the things we've watched
over the last couple of months that we

44
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.960
haven't got a chance to talk about
literally months, six months. We made

45
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:28.680
a list and we have fourteen things. So we have two episodes here.

46
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.520
We're doing half of them roughly today. We'll do the more relevant ones I

47
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.159
guess here and then get to the
ones that no one cares about in another

48
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:45.000
episode. Plainly keep it shut telling
you run now. Thanks the terrible I

49
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:49.120
Also, I think I did the
rundown pretty good by doing something that we

50
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:53.520
both saw. I saw you saw
both saw I saw you saw both saw

51
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.840
little Ping Pong battle here. It's
nice, it'll be nice back and forth.

52
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.000
Uh good, we'll be starting off
today The Killer. The Killer is

53
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:06.159
currently streaming on Netflix. This is
a rated R action adventure in crime movie

54
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:11.280
with a runtime of one hundred and
eighteen minutes just under two hours on roddy

55
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.840
teazgew This is an interesting split eighty
six percent from the critics, fifty nine

56
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.879
percent from the audience. I think
I understand exactly why the split is the

57
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.920
way it is. On Metacritic.
This is a seventy three and go.

58
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.639
This is a notable film number one
because Michael Fassbender stars in. At number

59
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.839
two, it's a David Fincher film. Before I get the Fincher. This

60
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.079
is written by Andrew Kevin Walker Gou
and we would know him from Seven.

61
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.360
He wrote the original script for Seven
that Fincher ends up directing. Of course,

62
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.680
he also wrote Eight Millimeters, which
he notoriously hates, that got bastardized

63
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.800
by the studio in Joel Schumacher.
That movie's not very good. And he

64
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.879
also wrote Sleepy Hollow that was maybe
the year two thousand. He's like barely

65
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:54.240
done anything since then. So I
wonder if this was like David Fincher was

66
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:55.920
like, Hey, I want to
lull you back out, see if we

67
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.879
could recreate that magic. This is
nowhere near seven let me say that,

68
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.439
And of course this is directed by
Fincher. Gut. I think you know,

69
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:08.639
I've obviously like David Fincher. Doork
just did an episode on him a

70
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:13.639
few weeks ago. I think we
might underrate how all time great David Fincher

71
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.680
is. If you look at his
resume, there's maybe two three directors that

72
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.680
might have more, But like if
you looked at his top three four films,

73
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:25.720
that's almost unrivaled by anyone. So
he did alien three. Tough start

74
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.560
for him. But then he's got
seven fight Club, Panic Room, Lords

75
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.279
of Dogtown, which is a very
underrated, one, Zodiac, Benjamin Button,

76
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.639
The Social Network, Girl with the
Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl, and

77
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:40.399
Mink. Now, out of those, I would say, without a doubt,

78
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:43.920
if you're doing a mount rushmore,
you have to include seven, fight

79
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.639
Club and the Social Network. Three
of the I have fight Club a little

80
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.639
bit lower than most, but the
Social Network and seven or two of the

81
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:54.839
best movies of all time. It's
not even like up for debate Gone Girl.

82
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.120
I love Gone Girl. That's probably
I think Gone Girl is the fourth.

83
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.560
That's probably my fourth. I love
that movie. I don't think this

84
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:05.000
movie gets anywhere remotely near that top
four. Yeah, but it definitely feels

85
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:09.519
like a David Fincher movie. So
let me with the fifty nine percent.

86
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:13.759
I think what we're dealing with here
is expectations, right, Yeah, You're

87
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:18.319
you're expecting this big, thrilling moment
that you get in most Fincher films,

88
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.560
and I think this one really lacks
it. It doesn't quite have two that

89
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:26.480
get close, like two scenes that
get close. And I also think that

90
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.439
people went into this expecting maybe a
John Wick like character, which you get

91
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.879
a little of it, but a
lot really not really. Here, here's

92
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.279
how I've described the movie to no
one, because no one's asked me about

93
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:43.639
it. It's a little bit of
like a john Wick meets Bourn ultimatum,

94
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.120
elements of both of those movies,
but not on the level of either of

95
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.639
them. There. So I describe
it to people. No one wants to

96
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:53.800
talk to me about it. I'm
on the subway holding up a sign saying

97
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.879
ask me about the killer, and
no one fucking wants to know it.

98
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.839
Yeah, I'm like that guy with
a sign on Instagram and fucking no one's

99
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.639
assmate. It's been weak. Don't
see see all on emails synopsis good after

100
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:11.839
a fateful apply, Sorry reply all, let's see all after a faithful near

101
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:17.319
miss, and assassin battles his employers
and himself on an international manhunt he insists

102
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:23.079
isn't personal. This stars Michael Fassbender
as the titular killer. I like that

103
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:25.639
they don't really give him a name
at all this movie. He just is

104
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:29.560
what he is. Tilda Swinton as
the expert, and I loved when she

105
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.000
comes into the fold in this movie. Probably comes in maybe about halfway through,

106
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.600
two thirds through something like that.
I'd say two thirds. Charles Parnell

107
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:41.079
is the lawyer named Hodges. He's
sort of like Fastbender's boss for lack of

108
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.920
a better term. And then Arles
Howard plays the client that plays a big

109
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.360
part towards the conclusion of this movie. Like I said, Gou, there

110
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.879
are elements of Fincher movies. There's
a born element in here, a bit

111
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:55.839
Wickian of an element in here,
but it never reaches the highs of really

112
00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:00.720
the best of those those franchises.
And on top of that, the ending

113
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.639
of this movie is kind of underwhelming. It sets itself up for a big

114
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.480
moment, and it does have a
big moment kind of at the end of

115
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.360
the second act, it just never
hits the high you're expecting of it in

116
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.480
the third act of this movie.
Yeah, so it does have the big

117
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.199
action scene. Really only one big
action scene here when he's going into the

118
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.319
fella's house with a dog. Awesome
scene. Yeah, that's an awesome scene.

119
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.360
And then of course him working with
the client. You get like that

120
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:31.879
gory type of scene right there,
and then the Swinton scene that's really the

121
00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:35.000
standout moment of the movie. And
even not to spoil anything, but just

122
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.639
how they go about the end of
that scene. But what I like the

123
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:45.480
most about this movie, and it's
what Fastbender does best, is it's just

124
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:52.480
this quiet, stress inducing character and
you're watching and like you're waiting for something

125
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.840
to happen. Now. It doesn't
necessarily have that big payoff that say an

126
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:01.679
Inglorious Bastards or even X Men first
Class, and obviously those are just roles

127
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.120
that he plays, but those are
you know, big standouts that you have

128
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.440
with him, and you're kind of
waiting for that. Like you said,

129
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.840
this movie's really well acted in eighty
percent of it, eighty percent of the

130
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.679
story is really well written. I
just feel like he's probably had this idea

131
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.720
or movie for years and never had
an ending to it. And I feel

132
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:24.279
like he said, you know what, I'm just gonna make it without the

133
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:31.200
ending that I usually have in my
movies, because it is like a you

134
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.360
understand why Fassbender's character does what he
does towards the end, but it's not

135
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:41.080
satisfying whatsoever, especially for what happens
throughout the film. So I don't know.

136
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.879
It just feels uneven at the end, and maybe a fantastic finish bumps

137
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.919
it up quite a bit, but
it's just I don't know. I really

138
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.080
liked eighty eighty five percent of the
movie, and then the last ten percent

139
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:58.480
I really didn't like. So I
have it roughly thirty three hot dogs on

140
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.240
the year. It's right around my
dirty dozen of movies I would I would

141
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.639
put it close to Dead Reckoning,
where I prefer the story in this more,

142
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.159
I prefer the acting in this more, but Dead Reckoning has those big

143
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:15.840
spectacle scenes. So what do you
want? Yeah, I liked Dead Reckoning

144
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:20.240
quite a bit more. I've got
those thirty one hot dogs. It's it's

145
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.039
a good movie. I don't think. I think this is hard to dislike,

146
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.039
which is why, well, I
think the fifty nine percent is kind

147
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.799
of bizarre. I could see not
like in the end, like myself,

148
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.960
but not liking the whole thing seems
seems like a mistake. This is my

149
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:35.120
number twenty three movie of twenty twenty
three, and in that range there is

150
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:41.240
like Blue Beetle totally killer. This
is just above like BlackBerry and Theater Camp

151
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.720
other movies that like I enjoyed to
a certain degree, but aren't I don't

152
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:46.960
know, hard to recommend to people. I guess, all right, Mac,

153
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.159
let's move on to the next.
This is more of a television streaming

154
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.879
special, and that is South Park
joining the Panda Verse. Now, yes,

155
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:03.200
is this like Imagination Land level production? Like? Yeah, no,

156
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.440
so what they have? So?
I don't know if you remember this,

157
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:11.039
but they had the fourteen special deal
with Paramount. Oh that's right, that's

158
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.519
right, okay, And this is
one of them. Yes, TVMA forty

159
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.840
eight minutes. I always recommended this
and I'll tell you right now, this

160
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.480
is quality satire. This is really
very very good, yes, because sometimes

161
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.200
they really missed the mark these days. No, I know, I would

162
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.519
say South Park. It's about fifty
to fifty as far as miss Er nails

163
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.679
it these days. So directed by
Trey Parker, written by Trey Parker,

164
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.240
Matt Stone, Brian Graydon, stars
Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and April

165
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:43.159
Stuart. And what this is is
Cartman keeps on having nightmares about him and

166
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:50.720
his friends, him and his classmates
being replaced by diverse women. And the

167
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:58.519
whole forty eight minutes is a great
satire on Disney Star Wars Kathleen Kennedy,

168
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:05.200
and then also the b storyline of
Randy. He can't find a handyman because

169
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:11.000
everyone everyone now has their you know, big big jobs, but since the

170
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.639
pandemic, most people don't know how
to do anything anymore. So the handy

171
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.639
men are all now billionaires and they're
and you know, there's no one to

172
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.960
do these jobs anymore. And then
what Randy needs to do is to go

173
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:30.440
into a multiverse to change things around. So it takes on Disney how multiverses

174
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:35.279
are lazy, and then also how
people can't do shit anymore. And all

175
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:37.879
three of them they hit on all
of them. That's good. Yea.

176
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:43.919
The only thing I'll say to that
is I feel like multiverses are only lazy

177
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:46.960
when they're done lazily or excuse me, no, so that so, but

178
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.720
the whole thing is that. So
there's a point in this. I'm not

179
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.840
gonna spoil anything, but Randy is
going through this multiversal portal and all it

180
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.159
does is change his clothes. So
he just keep going, Oh, no,

181
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.360
we're in different kinds of shorts.
Oh, I'm a Chiefs fan in

182
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.080
this one. It's pretty good.
Yeah, Okay, forty eight minutes,

183
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.919
so that's an easy watch. Yeah, forty eight minutes, easy watch,

184
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:13.159
well paced, it's really funny,
and I haven't watched a ton of South

185
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.600
Park lately, but this was very
good. Yeah. I haven't watched south

186
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.360
Park in a few years, so
maybe'll maybe I'll get that's on? What

187
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.279
is that on? What's on?
Paramount plus Paramount plus paramount plus good?

188
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.519
Next one up. You haven't seen
this, I'll be interested to hear your

189
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:31.600
opinion once you do, because I
think this is one that we both were

190
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.320
looking forward to after we saw the
trailer. This is Bottoms. Bottoms is

191
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:37.639
currently streaming on MGM plus. If
somehow you have that, I don't know

192
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.960
a soul who does. I believe
I paid four ninety nine for it.

193
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:45.360
I'm prime because I was looking forward
to it. Miss. I also put

194
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.919
MGM plus on this because I saw
that. You know, when you google

195
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.000
it, that's what it says.
Yeah, is MGM plus a thing?

196
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.360
I've heard Keith talk about it.
I don't know if it's a thing,

197
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:56.720
but I've heard Keith talk about it. But if it ain't free, it

198
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.960
ain't for keif kude. This is
a rated our comedy and it's been a

199
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:05.879
pretty good year for rated our comedy, So that's another thing here where the

200
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.600
bar set kind of high. It's
only ninety one minutes, which is encouraging.

201
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:11.720
So everything going in you're like,
all right, this is gonna be

202
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:15.559
pretty good. Trailers, pretty good
on Rotten Tomatoes, ninety percent from the

203
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.000
critics, eighty nine percent from the
audience on Metacritic, a seventy four.

204
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.759
So everything is telling you this is
one of, if not the best R

205
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.679
rated comedy of the year, And
boy was I let down. Kud.

206
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:31.799
This is written by Emma Seligman,
she's also the director of this movie.

207
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.159
You wouldn't know her from anything.
It's also written by Rachel Sabnat. She's

208
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:37.200
one of the lead actresses in this
movie. I don't I think she was

209
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.120
in the movie Body's Bodies' Bodies last
year, which a lot of people enjoyed

210
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:46.360
again, directed by Seligman. Synopsis. Two unpopular queer high school students to

211
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:52.039
start a fight club to have sex
before graduation. So a lot of what

212
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.559
you see in this movie has been
done before. It's just sort of a

213
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.759
queer twist on it. So I
get why it gets made. But a

214
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:03.559
halfway through, you're like seeing this
somewhere, I've seen that somewhere. There's

215
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.080
like nothing really new. Go ahead, goo. Two questions. Number One,

216
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.919
is Marshawn Lynch funny in this Marshawn
Lynch is probably the funniest thing in

217
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.799
the movie. But even then,
it's like it's one of those movies where

218
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.919
everything that's great is in the trailer
and pretty much everything else is a letdown.

219
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.639
So this hands up against the second
question, are you not the audience

220
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.440
for this movie? Not that like
it should be able to hit with some

221
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:33.279
more? Okay, but I also
am I'm not gonna say in touch with

222
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.720
the queer community, but I have
queer friends, like I enjoy a lot

223
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:43.279
of these niche comedies like this and
this. Really i'd like to hear some

224
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:45.919
queer opinions on it, but of
course we don't have that are on the

225
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.440
program. Maybe we'll get back to
you in a couple of weeks with that

226
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.679
dude. This stars Rachel Snat as
pj i owe A Debris as Josie.

227
00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:56.799
She's the girl from the Bear and
you saw her and I think you should

228
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.240
leave this past season. She's sort
of an up and comer. Also in

229
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.200
here, Ruby Cruz as Hazel Callahan, Haven Rose Lou as Isabelle, Kayak

230
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:07.120
Gerber as Brittany, and Marshawn Lynch
plays mister G. Like I said,

231
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.639
everything going into this, and you
know what, this also struck me of

232
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:15.279
good because it's that niche sort of
queer comedy. I think people are afraid

233
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:19.279
to say they didn't like it because
it's it's like filling a void. Is

234
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:23.639
not many queer movies, so I
think people are afraid to say they didn't

235
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.080
like it. Because I didn't like
this movie. I didn't hate it,

236
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.320
but I didn't like it, and
maybe it's an expectations thing. And on

237
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.600
top of it, like I mentioned, this has been a pretty damn good

238
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:38.159
year for R rated comedies. You
really liked what the hell is the name

239
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.720
of that movie? Joy Ride?
I really like No hard Feelings. I

240
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.559
have them actually both pretty similarly rated, but those are two of the better

241
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.480
R rated comedies we've seen in the
last few years, and this falls well

242
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.039
short of those two movies. Like
Going In, you would have thought this

243
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.639
had a chance to be the best
R rated movie of the year, maybe

244
00:16:55.720 --> 00:17:00.480
best comedy of the year. And
ultimately it's mostly lazy, pretty unfunny.

245
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:06.559
There's like a few huh but no
like lols. So other than like it

246
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:11.359
being a queer story, there's nothing
legitimately new in here or innovative. It

247
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:15.240
just was really disappointing. So I
have this at twenty three Hot Dogs,

248
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.880
my number thirty five movie of twenty
twenty three. It's just just above it

249
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.160
is like Knock at the Cabin,
The Little Mermaid, Rise of the Beasts,

250
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.759
movies that just weren't that good,
but I didn't hate. Just below

251
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.839
it is Asteroid City, another movie
that was a pretty big disappointment. This

252
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.160
year for me. So I guess
this is the depointment disappointment range, and

253
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.359
I don't know, you know,
I'm if I'm totally off base, someone

254
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.759
please tweet at me. But I
I have a hard time seeing someone loving

255
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.000
this movie. So the ninety eighty
nine really threw me off. Now let's

256
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.000
go on to another R rated comedy. We are in quite a stretch,

257
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:55.240
and that is strays. Strays.
I'll tell you what stray is really stray

258
00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:00.000
far from the forty dog rating here
goo. This is currently streaming on Peacock.

259
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:03.000
It is a rated AR comedy again
with a run time of ninety three

260
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:06.200
minutes, just over an hour and
a half, so sort of that sweet

261
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:10.559
spot, especially for R rated comedies. On Rotten Tomatoes, fifty three percent

262
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:15.960
from the critics, sixty nine percent
from the audience. Now this is hard

263
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:21.119
to understand. For the opposite reason, this movie's not good. I understand

264
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:26.359
the sixty nine percent from the audience. The critics at fifty three percent this

265
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.559
struck me after viewing as like a
twenty percent from the critics, This movie

266
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:34.279
fucking sucks. See I don't I
don't outright hate it the way you do,

267
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:38.519
but I enjoy it. This movie
is so void of comedy. This

268
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:45.480
movie is like a child wrote it. This thing is not funny at all

269
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:51.359
and everyone involved should be embarrassed.
A fifty four on Metacritic is pretty high

270
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:56.079
for an R rated comedy that you
or I didn't like. I would have

271
00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:00.200
thought, again, this was twenty
percent maybe in the thirties on met a

272
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.960
critic based on what I watched.
Now, I don't know, like I

273
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:06.240
don't really know what the critics are
seeing in this to say, oh,

274
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:08.240
this is pretty good. I recommend
this. And again it's only fifty three

275
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:11.920
percent, but that's close enough to
like almost being the tipped over popcorn.

276
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:15.759
Sixty percent would have said, hey, this is all right? Oh what

277
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:21.119
a dogs do? I think they
shit a lot? They humps? Can

278
00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:23.279
we do that for ninety minutes?
This movie is lazy, the definition of

279
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:29.240
laziness. Yes and gou this got
teased. It's on like the movie poster

280
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:33.839
from The Humans who Brought You Cocaine
Bear in twenty one Jump Street now number

281
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.839
one. I don't know if I
would brag about Cocaine Bear so quickly,

282
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:38.920
but twenty one Jump Street is legit
one of the better comedies in the last

283
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:44.720
twelve fifteen years. Cocaine Bear compared
to this is like, here's looking at

284
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:48.480
you kid. The fuck that movie
is Casablanca. But let me ask you,

285
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:52.000
gu how they can claim that when
this movie is written by Dan Perrault.

286
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:55.759
He's a former writer for Screen Junkies
and Honest Trailers, two things we've

287
00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:02.559
all liked for the last fifteen years. He also created Created an American Yeah,

288
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:07.079
uh so I don't know when went
astray here? Goo, oh,

289
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.240
I get it. You see that
the movie They're good? Yeah. This

290
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:15.200
is directed by Josh Greenbaum, and
this should have been my red flag here.

291
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:19.160
He's done a bunch of New Girl, but he directed Barb and Star

292
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:22.160
Go to Visa del Mar, which
is one of my least favorite movies ever,

293
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:26.279
So that should have been I shouldn't
have watched this movie. But Will

294
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:29.880
Ferrell's attached to it R rated,
so it wrote me in. But again,

295
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.079
go with those two that I just
talked about and none of them being

296
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:37.720
related to Cocaineber At twenty one Jump
Street, Ah, the fuck are they

297
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.160
claiming that this is from the humans
who made cocaine Beer? In twenty one

298
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:47.480
Jump Street, dogs have red penises. You know that synopsis of this movie,

299
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:52.400
an abandoned dog teams up with other
strays to get revenge on his former

300
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.759
owner. This stars Will Ferrell as
Reggie, a dog, Jamie Fox's bug

301
00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:03.759
a dog Maggie. Also we know
they're all dogs, Randall Park as Hunter,

302
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.160
the fourth dog in the crew,
and then go Will Forte is Doug,

303
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:11.839
Reggie's owner. Even Will Forte was
not that funny and a role that

304
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:15.400
he should have been fucking hysterical in. Yeah, I hated this. I

305
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:19.640
hated every minute of it. There's
really not much to say, honestly,

306
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:23.680
other than what Goose. I'll just
add I didn't hate it, but it's

307
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:27.599
incredibly lazy and it does not capitalize
on the R rating at all. It's

308
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:32.319
it's very lazy. Not only did
I not laugh at this movie, I

309
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:36.400
didn't even chuckle once I got a
few chuckles. I must admit that's because

310
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:38.599
you're stupid. That's because you're an
eighty. It never claimed to be smart.

311
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:44.839
I gave this twenty Hot Dogs School
fifty percent number thirty eight movie of

312
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:48.720
twenty twenty three for me right now, there's I only have two movies lower

313
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:52.279
than this on the year. I
dislike this so much that I didn't even

314
00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:55.079
put a hot dog score to it. I just put it at the bottom

315
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:57.440
of my list. It's your least
favorite of the year. Yes, Uh,

316
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:00.200
have you seen We Have a Ghost
yet? I haven't seen We Have

317
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.920
a Ghost? Movie is fucking horrible. That movie's worse than this movie.

318
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:10.799
But I'll probably like that because it's
so stupid and bad. That movie is

319
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:12.759
really bad. I forget what the
other movie I have underneath. Oh,

320
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.839
we'll talk about this in our next
What have you been watching? The other

321
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:19.839
movie I have lower than this,
and I watch you to watch it because

322
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:23.680
of your reaction to this is old. Dad's the Bill Burr movie. Now

323
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:27.880
that movie, and I'm the biggest
bill Bird either is in the world.

324
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:33.279
That movie is fucking terrible. I
heard this, I say, I heard.

325
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:36.480
It's very lazy. Oh, it's
lazier than strays Goo. It's a

326
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:40.400
tough watch. Don't get me triggered
right now, Mac, that's a line

327
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:44.319
from the movie, right I saw
the trailer. It's bad. It's very

328
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:48.119
bad. Let's move on to another
R rated comedy fresh on the pecock and

329
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:55.519
that is Please Don't Destroy the Treasure
of Foggy Mountain. One hour and thirty

330
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:59.880
two minutes rated are on Rotten Tomatoes
forty percent from the critics, ninety four

331
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:04.000
from the audience Metacritic forty nine percent. Is that good again for an R

332
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:11.200
rated comedy made by the video Short
Guys from SNL forty nine on Metacritic,

333
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:14.799
I would say is high. I
would have expected thirty five forty, So

334
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:18.640
thank you for describing them. By
the way. The video Short Guys from

335
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:26.839
SNL director Paul brig Anti writers is
Martin Hurley? He is it just Hurley?

336
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.039
Hurley? He Hurley? He I've
never heard his last name before,

337
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:34.599
John Higgins and Ben Marshall also starring
those three. It follows three friends who

338
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:38.720
live together and then go on a
treasure hunt in the forest of a rumored

339
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:49.400
buried treasure. If you have seen
either anything from Lonely Island or from Tim

340
00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:57.680
Robinson or from Even Derek Comedy,
Donald Glover's old comedy Troupe, this is

341
00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:03.920
worse. Okay, So is there
anything redeeming about it? Yes? So

342
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:07.559
there are a couple funny things in
here, but like you said, there's

343
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:11.359
nothing really original here. Conan O'Brien
is one of their fathers. That's pretty

344
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.720
funny, but it's the over the
top acting that you get, say in

345
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:21.359
Mystery Team, Yeah, and I
find those funnier. And maybe if I

346
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:25.519
watch those now, I wouldn't find
them as funny. But it's just it's

347
00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:30.000
the over the top comedy, the
recurring jokes, and like, I'm not

348
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:36.400
the biggest fan of these three to
begin with, but this is solid enough

349
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:40.880
to not say it's bad. But
it's almost just like imitation of the other

350
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:45.200
three. Like they do things in
here that you might find funny, but

351
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:48.400
then you sit back and go,
that's a Tim Robinson thing, and if

352
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:51.880
he did it, it'd be funnier. So we started off this podcast talking

353
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:53.319
about how good of a year it's
been for R rated comedies, and we

354
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:57.200
just gave fun pretty bad ones.
We just fucking ruined ourselves. We are

355
00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:03.480
such hypocrites. A lot of it
is, actually is I love an R

356
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.160
rated comedy when it hits right,
it's the there's nothing better. However,

357
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:11.079
it becomes a crutch in a moment
where you're trying to write funny stuff and

358
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:15.240
you just revert to an R rated
something a swear, a sex thing.

359
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.160
Yeah, And it almost stunts comedies
sometimes. So there are versions of these

360
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:22.400
movies that might have been better if
they were PG. Thirteen because they would

361
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:27.240
have had to write more creatively.
And that's always the line you're towing with

362
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:30.720
an R rated comedy. So I
would say, because if you have Peacock,

363
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:33.000
go and check this out. If
you don't like, if you like

364
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:37.200
their sketches, go and check this
out. Okay, all right, but

365
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:41.039
not my favorite. I'd probably have
it somewhere in the middle of the pack.

366
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:44.400
I would take No Hard Feelings over
it because I think No Hard Feelings

367
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:48.680
was more adventurous, took more chances. No Hard Feelings wasn't lazy goo.

368
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:52.640
I'll tell you that. Like I
don't love No Hard Feelings. I think

369
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:56.960
there's a twenty minute stretch in that
movie that's actually dynamite, But I would

370
00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:00.079
take that and the chances that it
took over this. The other thing about

371
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.680
No Hard Feelings, even though you're
not a Jennifer Lawrence guy, but two

372
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:07.680
main leads in that act really well, which goes a long way. That's

373
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:11.039
also the best part about joy Ride
is the main characters. They're all well

374
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.519
acted, so great. When you
get well, you know, Bottoms,

375
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:19.160
it wasn't that Bottoms was poorly acted. Bottoms was just so disappointing. It

376
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:26.200
was I feel like a sixteen year
old could have written Bottoms, and it

377
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.119
felt like me to me, it
was gonna be a little more complex than

378
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:33.759
it was. So maybe it's an
expectations things. But again, anyone that's

379
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:36.920
seen Bottoms, I want you to
tweet at me and tell me your opinion,

380
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:40.400
because I would be I would be
shocked if you liked that movie a

381
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:42.440
lot. I mean, tweet at
us and give us your opinion on anything.

382
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:45.880
Really, we're all ears actually that
one and this next one. Goo,

383
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:49.559
that's a nice transition right there.
Goo. Yeah, the creator up

384
00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:53.920
next is the creator. Right now, this is only video on demand and

385
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:57.319
you gotta buy it. You can't
rent it right now, so those fat

386
00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:03.519
cats in Hollywood just take our money. This will be a good tease for

387
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:06.160
when it is rentable in a couple
of weeks, because this is another one

388
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:08.039
I actually want you to watch.
I want to have a conversation about this,

389
00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:11.720
maybe a longer conversation next time,
maybe in the awards. Our awards

390
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:17.000
are coming up fast and furious that
movie won't be in it. But still,

391
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:19.799
there actually is one award worthy thing
in here that I'll get to in

392
00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:25.359
a few This is a PG thirteen
action adventure in drama. It didn't list

393
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:29.079
sci fi, but this is very
sci fi. One hundred and thirty three

394
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:32.759
minutes, so two hours and thirteen. On Rotten Tomatoes, this is that

395
00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:37.720
middling. I think everyone's confused.
Sixty six percent from the critics, seventy

396
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:41.720
six from the audience. So not
bad but also not good. How do

397
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.920
you feel about this movie? I'm
just so fucking confused. On Metacritic,

398
00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:49.519
this has a sixty three, so
again in that range where it's not bad

399
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:55.359
but they're not really recommending it to
you. This is written by Gareth Edwards,

400
00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:59.839
his first writing credit since twenty ten
a movie called Monsters, and also

401
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:03.119
Chris White skew this this is a
career that you're really gonna like. He

402
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:07.160
wrote ants Nutty Professor to the clumps, Stop a boy, I'm in.

403
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:11.839
I'm in right there. You had
me at Nutty Professor. Two. After

404
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:17.359
Ants, he wrote twenty fifteen's Cinderella. He also wrote Rogue one, which

405
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:19.680
we loved, most people loved,
and the Pinocchio movie that came out a

406
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:23.319
year or two ago. This is
directed by Gareth Edwards, who of course

407
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:27.759
directed Rogue One, another great sci
fi movie in Godzilly. He did twenty

408
00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:33.279
fourteen's God So I told you I've
touched the Sun. I will not write

409
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.599
again. Gareth Edwards is kind of
mostly operating in these sci fi worlds,

410
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:41.559
and I think he's got a pension
for it. But like The Nutty Professor

411
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:47.799
two has quite possibly the best fart
scene of all time. That's the Janet

412
00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:48.880
Jackson one, right or she in
the first? Yeah? No, that's

413
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:53.200
the Janet jacksone. That's when they're
in the restaurant and the father starts a

414
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:56.400
big old fire. I know you
like fires, starts a big old fire

415
00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:00.359
because he farts on a candle.
Janet Jackson looks so good in this movie.

416
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:03.160
Who's the Who's the woman in the
first one? I don't know.

417
00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:07.839
I know that Dave Chappelle's in the
first one. Are you talking about Dave

418
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:11.000
Chappelle? Someone let us know about
that one? Go synopsis of the creator.

419
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:15.359
Do you want us to do a
Nutty Professor podcast? Tweet at us

420
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:19.079
right now and let us know you
can do that. Smash that subscribe button

421
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:29.359
that on so and then dress up
as me in honor of the Professor so

422
00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:33.440
it's two people, but it's just
Goo doing both. You know what,

423
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:34.920
I have to do it all in
post or can I do it all live?

424
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:38.640
I don't that would be That would
be very like I asked you a

425
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:44.559
question like three two one, and
then what do you think about this two

426
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:49.039
one? It would take you months
to edit that episode. That might be

427
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:55.039
something I want to do. I'm
not gonna lie. What do you think

428
00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:59.880
of that farts scene? Bets the
bets? It's fine, that's pretty good.

429
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:03.440
I was just like that was me, it wasn't mac guys. Against

430
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.640
the backdrop of a war between humans
and robots with artificial intelligence, a former

431
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:11.960
soldier finds the secret weapon a robot
in the form of a young child.

432
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:17.720
Now, robot is not really the
word for them. They look like humans

433
00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:21.559
for the most part, so I
don't know what the word. Yeah,

434
00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:26.839
okay, that's a better word.
This movie stars John David Washington as Joshua

435
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:30.400
Madeleine Una Voiles as Alfie Do.
This girl just turned nine years old,

436
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.160
so she was seven or eight when
they shot this. This is our first

437
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:38.720
IMDb credit. This girl was unbelievable. Carried the movie because you usually hate

438
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:42.640
children, not only but general This
girl was the best part of the movie.

439
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:48.920
Jemma chan as as Maya. Jemma
chan is usually always good. Alison

440
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:55.079
Janny is Colonel Howell. She plays
a bad guy, which a lady colonel,

441
00:30:55.680 --> 00:31:03.519
a lady colonel at Fi. Ken
Nave as Harun you might remember him

442
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.720
from Inception or many number of other
things. Stergel Simpson good Big year for

443
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:12.720
Strogier Simpson as Drew. He plays
Joshua's like old soldier Butts. It's almost

444
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:15.839
like when they casted this movie,
they just picked actors and then said always

445
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:19.480
good, Like these are people that
are always good. Let me get to

446
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:23.519
that. Because I have a massive
issue I really want I didn't read.

447
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:26.960
I really wanted to like this movie. I wanted to love this movie.

448
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:32.920
This movie looks and feels awesome and
the way Rogue One does the visuals are

449
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:37.839
awesome. You're playing with some cool
sci fi concepts and ideas. However,

450
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:42.200
I really really didn't like John David
Washington. In fact, I might have

451
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:48.160
hated the performance. Oh he was
so stale, devoid of emotion. This

452
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:53.000
was a poor casting choice. In
general, I have liked John David Washington

453
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:56.440
in the past. You can't say
I've loved him, but he hasn't bothered

454
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:01.559
me. Mac loves Ballers. Gude. He was so bad in this and

455
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:07.160
I like a better performance in that
role would have catapulted this movie up,

456
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:09.480
like three or four or five dogs, like that's how much it brought it

457
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:14.359
down. Because it's him and the
young girl for eighty percent of this movie.

458
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:20.480
It really and especially like the young
girls acting her ass off and jdw

459
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:23.880
is just he's a cardboards piece of
cardboard. It bothered the shit out of

460
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:27.599
me. And once again I really
want to underscore that the child actor was

461
00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:31.119
incredible. If this movie was a
little bit better, you know, judging

462
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:37.000
off those critics scores, I think
she would have gotten Oscar consideration. That's

463
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.000
how good she was. She was
really fucking good. Additionally, gu it's

464
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:44.880
in that weird realm of at one
hundred and thirty three minutes, which is

465
00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:47.319
not a short movie. I actually
felt like it should have been longer.

466
00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:52.920
We needed some more time in the
sci fi world, that atmosphere. We

467
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:54.759
need to play around with that a
little bit more. And we also because

468
00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:58.680
the story is kind of heavy handed, we needed a little bit more of

469
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:01.240
the emotional part of the store because
by the end, it doesn't quite hit

470
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:04.839
the way you want it to.
It's a nice conclusion, but it doesn't

471
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:07.440
hit the way it probably could have. So I think we needed more time

472
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:12.920
with both of those things. Because
the story of the movie is a nice

473
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:16.799
sort of like three headed Battle,
It's an intriguing story. So I have

474
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:22.480
this at thirty two hot Dogs,
number fifteen of twenty twenty three. Just

475
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:25.240
above it is No Hard Feelings joy
Ride. Just below it Screamed six,

476
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:30.079
Elemental, They Cloned Tyrone, TMNT, Mutant Mayhem, and Full Disclosure.

477
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:34.480
I gave all of those movie thirty
two hot dogs. It's in this range.

478
00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:37.799
You can kind of adjust those as
you see fit, but this is

479
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:40.240
sort of in that tier where I
really liked most of the movie, but

480
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:44.279
it had one or two things that
really bothered the shit out of me,

481
00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:47.359
and it just didn't reach its full
potential all of those movies, Like I've

482
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:52.039
been thinking about this movie a lot
since I saw it, which is what

483
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:55.079
I don't usually say about a thirty
two dogger, Like this movie felt like,

484
00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:59.640
ultimately at the end, if it
had a better main performance, it's

485
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:04.319
like five thirty six that the main
performance just fucking killed it. It's it's

486
00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:07.200
leaving like a sour taste in my
mouth. Now, the script's not perfect

487
00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:09.840
either. It could have been a
little more concise or, like I said,

488
00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:14.360
spent more time. But to me, the main thing that drags us

489
00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:19.360
down is John David Washington. Now, let's go to Disney's latest question market.

490
00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:22.880
They've done another one since because they
fucking shit these out. But uh,

491
00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:25.440
live action remake. That's on a
live action remake. Well you said

492
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:30.199
it after I said that. How
about you let me finish my sentence,

493
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:36.039
mac the Little Mermaid, the Marmay
before you say anything else. King Triton

494
00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:39.880
is just slanging dick all over the
world. It's got seven daughters for the

495
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:44.599
seven and they're all of different nationalities. Love that love that for him,

496
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:46.880
taste a little bit of everything.
He knows it, he gets it tast

497
00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:52.320
This is not Disney Plus. It
is a rated PG. I don't even

498
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:55.400
know what you would. I didn't
put the genres. That's on me one

499
00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:59.199
hundred and thirty five minutes, so
two hours and fifteen minutes. It's not

500
00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:02.360
short, short at all. Rotten
Tomatoes sixty seven percent from the critics,

501
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:07.239
ninety four percent from the audience to
interesting scores on Metacritic of fifty nine.

502
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:15.199
You're right. This is written by
David McGhee. You might know him from

503
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:19.280
Finding Neverland, Life of Pie,
Mary Poppins Returns, and a man called

504
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:23.559
Auto, So I also know that
his brothers Wendell and Willie. This is

505
00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:28.239
based, of course, on the
story by Hans Christian Anderson and the animated

506
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:31.400
screenplay by John Musker and Ron Clements. This is directed by Rob Marshall,

507
00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:36.400
who has a penchant for musicals.
You'd know him from Chicago Memoirs of a

508
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:39.880
Geisha, Pirates on Stranger Tides into
the Woods, and Mary Poppins Return so

509
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:45.280
he has He's pretty accomplished director at
this point. Synopsis. A young mermaid

510
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:49.000
makes a deal with a sea witch
to trade her beautiful voice for human legs

511
00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:52.760
so she can discover the world above
water and impress a prince. This stars

512
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:59.039
Halle Bailey as Ariel, Jonah Howard
King as Eric, Melissa McCarthy as Ursula,

513
00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:02.280
Javier bardam It's King Triton, David
Diggs as Sebastian, who I loved.

514
00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:07.000
Jacob Tremblay as Flounder was pretty good. Aquafina as Scuttle didn't bother me.

515
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:12.480
So, oh she's dunk. Oh
she stunk. But as Scuttle,

516
00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:15.559
that's that's sort of what you're getting
in Scuttle. So I accepted it for

517
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:20.159
what it was. I thought Halle
Bailey as Ariel was great, but yeah,

518
00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:22.679
she carried the majority of this.
You know what would have been a

519
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:28.400
great prank in this movie is when
Halle Bailey when she asked Ursula played by

520
00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:30.119
Melissa McCarthy, who actually was not
bad as Ursula, is this is the

521
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:32.880
type of role that she can get
into because it's an outlandish role. It

522
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:37.039
would have been a great prank if
when she asked for human legs, then

523
00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:39.679
she looked down and she goes,
I still have fish to it, tell

524
00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:46.039
ya Goode. I actually came away
from this movie and I heard I heard

525
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:51.760
nots of great things going into it. I came away thinking the first sixty

526
00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:53.760
to seventy five percent was pretty good. Yes, I enjoyed it, not

527
00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:58.119
great, but pretty good, watchable, and then the last like thirty forty

528
00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:04.199
minutes pretty bad. Really, the
final battle and leading up to the final

529
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:07.320
battle bad G looked horrible, right, and it hurt my eyes And I

530
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:10.480
was watching it on a plane.
The best way to watch a movie.

531
00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:15.559
I too, watched it on a
on an aeroplane. That's really like,

532
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:19.719
it's hard to talk say anything new
about The Little Mermaid, but that's my

533
00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:22.800
takeaway. If you had made this
shorter, so at two hours and fifteen

534
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:28.599
minutes, if you got this down
to an hour fifty you probably have a

535
00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:31.599
pretty darn good movie. And even
at that, those those rotten Tomato scores

536
00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:36.360
are crazy. Yeah, I don't
know. I don't know how this got

537
00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:38.639
ninety four percent from the audience.
Honestly, it doesn't deserve it. But

538
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:42.760
on it I found it quite enjoyable
for the most part. For the most

539
00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:44.800
I liked a lot of it.
Granted, I will say this, I

540
00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:49.239
did skip most of the songs.
The music wasn't great, Okay not great,

541
00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:52.480
which is I mean, it's not
like The Little Mermaid is the best

542
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:55.599
musical anyways from from Disney, so
it's you weren't expecting much out of it.

543
00:37:55.719 --> 00:38:00.280
But again, like this was right
there. This was like bordering twenty

544
00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:02.320
eight to thirty dogs for me as
we were going through, and then the

545
00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:06.760
last thirty minutes put it down.
It's it might float. I got it

546
00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:09.360
at twenty four hot dogs. It
might float. It's it's like number thirty

547
00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:13.199
four, Get Way twenty three for
me, So I do have it at

548
00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:16.079
twenty eight hot Dogs. I did
really enjoy the you know, first ninety

549
00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:21.280
ish minutes of this movie. I
would definitely take a Laddin over it.

550
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:23.119
Aladdin, I think is a better
live action one. Yeah, and then

551
00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:27.400
this and The Lion King back and
forth. I might take this just I

552
00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:30.360
like the human elements much better.
I don't like how they are animals and

553
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:35.440
they can emote. Lion King was
much better. The best scene in The

554
00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:38.559
Lion King is the beatle pushing the
pile of poop. Lion King just did

555
00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:42.239
what the original one did and it
worked. Now, so that was good.

556
00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:44.440
But it's better than this. And
then I have it. I don't

557
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:57.960
know whatever on the year, it's
somewhere in there. Let's get into Maxack

558
00:38:58.119 --> 00:39:00.000
and ma sac could be anything.
It could be a boat. And this

559
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:09.679
week watching Keep It Short Till You
Run, Now, it's the exact same

560
00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:15.400
thing we just did this episode anything
Mack. I know I brought this up

561
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:17.760
many of times on the show,
but I have a three year old son

562
00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:22.039
who is beginning to consume media,
and you know, comprehend what's going on.

563
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:25.480
So it is the holiday season.
Whooped? He do hibbitty dop,

564
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:31.000
And I have been showing him some
I would deem Christmas classics. Okay,

565
00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:35.199
all right, what do he got
on getting a gage? On? How

566
00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:37.599
he feels about? How are you
doing it? Doing like one every couple

567
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:39.599
of days? Like it depends on
how much time we have at night.

568
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:44.960
Actually say right now, we showed
him Elf and he's never sat through an

569
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:47.960
entire live action movie. Watch the
whole thing. He loved it. Love

570
00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:52.000
that, love that. He's a
good one. You know what His favorite

571
00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:58.159
scene was when Buddy the Elf threw
up in the trash can because he went

572
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:01.440
to New York one time and he
threw up to uh relatable relatable. Yeah,

573
00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:06.079
so goo, I might have told
you this before. Yeah, one

574
00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:07.960
of my college roommates was from New
York just outside of the city, but

575
00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:12.400
do the city pretty well? Yeah, And his two favorite moments in the

576
00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:15.280
in the movie are when Buddy almost
gets hit by the cab it kills him

577
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:19.440
because it's like actually a thing that
happens every day in New York City.

578
00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:22.360
And that was unscripted too, was
it really? Oh? Speaking of fun

579
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:27.440
facts, before we go any further, save your l thoughts, because we'll

580
00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:31.239
have a full ELF podcast at the
end of next week and we'll be doing

581
00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:36.920
this episode from the Alamo Draft House
down the sea. Oh how about that

582
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:38.519
for a tease? Right there?
It's right, so watch it on YouTube.

583
00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:42.679
It's gonna look beautiful. Big time, Timmy Jim, big time,

584
00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:46.039
Timmy jin big time. Let's go
on to a movie that not really a

585
00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:49.639
movie. It's forty five minutes long. You can watch it on YouTube.

586
00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:52.920
And my kid loves this. I
love it as well. It might be

587
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:57.039
the most ambitious crossover of all time
until we get to cartoon All Stars to

588
00:40:57.079 --> 00:41:01.400
the Rescue, and that is Muppet
Family Crisp from nineteen eighty seven. Just

589
00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:07.320
everything about this. This is great
family fun. It's a great family movie.

590
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:10.320
I'll give you that. I'll give
me Muppets, Fraggles, Sesame Street.

591
00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:17.119
You have a pre Rizzo voiced Turkey
going nose to nose with Gonzo fighting

592
00:41:17.239 --> 00:41:22.159
over a chicken. I'm sorry,
are you frozen? No? I thought

593
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:25.519
you were gonna go on a tangent. I will say this though, is

594
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:30.599
that Karmit's nephew or son? The
little frog that's there Yeah, Yeah,

595
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:37.920
it's a fucking wiener. He stinks
speaking of things that I don't quite understand,

596
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:44.119
and that is nineteen sixty five's Charlie
Brown Christmas. I don't get it.

597
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:47.920
I'll echo your thought here on Charlie
Brown in general. I don't get

598
00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:52.599
it. Charlie Brown. Well,
I should say Woodstock and Snoopy were like

599
00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:54.920
my grandfather's favorite characters. Yeah,
I sort of get it, but Charlie

600
00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:59.360
Brown in general don't really get it. Number one, my son loved this,

601
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:01.440
so credit to him. He's more
complex than I am. I guess

602
00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:05.519
it's just this how bored people were
in the sixties that this was. Like,

603
00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:10.760
this is twenty seven minutes of Charlie
whining, just NonStop the commercialism of

604
00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:16.519
Christmass This is like mean, I
think, Chris, I think what Kaiu

605
00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:20.920
is to our generation, that's what
Charlie Brown is. Just a whiny fuck

606
00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:25.360
Linus is a loser, yes,
confirmed? And then like, do I

607
00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:30.199
need more of the backstory? Why
are all these kids so mean to Charlie

608
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:34.519
Brown. They all call him dumb, they all call him an idiot just

609
00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:37.679
for buying a tree, Like,
what is what is happening in this tough

610
00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:43.119
message for the kids at all.
Yeah, and then I even watch because

611
00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:46.559
my son loved this one. I
watched the follow up, the sequel to

612
00:42:46.639 --> 00:42:51.920
this, the Spiritual Sequel. I
don't know, but it's Christmas again,

613
00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:55.039
Charlie Brown from nineteen ninety two,
and it seems like the people that wrote

614
00:42:55.079 --> 00:43:01.159
this one didn't see the one from
nineteen sixty five. The character mode has

615
00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:05.400
made no sense was fucking twenty seven
years later. There was one part in

616
00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:07.880
that though, where Snoopy took a
candy cane and he danced like he had

617
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:12.960
a cane. So that's good.
Snoopy and Woodstock might be the two best

618
00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:15.519
characters, and they're in Charlie Brown. Maybe five percent of it, ten

619
00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:19.199
percent of it. You get a
little vignettes off to the side. Let's

620
00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:22.840
move on to nineteen ninety six,
and this just popped up on my Paramount

621
00:43:22.880 --> 00:43:25.119
Plus as my son was eating breakfast. I'm like, yeah, you can

622
00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:30.480
watch this, and that is Sonic's
Christmas Special from nineteen ninety six. And

623
00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:36.880
the best thing sucks really yeah,
it's crass animation. It is just slapped

624
00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:39.039
together, the voice over work,
the writing, none of it. It

625
00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:43.960
all feels cheap and half ass is
probably right around where the animated series came

626
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:45.360
up. This is the animated series, yes, okay, and this is

627
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:49.079
the sillier one. I think there's
two of them, but whatever, they're

628
00:43:49.079 --> 00:43:55.360
both voiced by Erkle. And why
is Sonic in this episode in this special

629
00:43:55.920 --> 00:44:00.760
riding a bike in snowboarding? Those
things are cool? I get it.

630
00:44:01.760 --> 00:44:06.119
But he runs fast? Yeah,
but he can still enjoy a nice snowboarding.

631
00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:08.719
Why is he slowing himself He's on
a mission. Why is he slowing

632
00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:14.440
himself down by snowboarding? I don't
think. Well, I haven't seen I

633
00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:16.400
haven't seen the property, so I
don't know what his goal is. But

634
00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:22.840
maybe he's just enjoying a nice leisure
snowboard. Robotic creates a robot Santa,

635
00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:27.760
and he kidnaps regular Santa. Hear
me out, Yeah, maybe he can't

636
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:30.000
run in snow. It doesn'tenough snowshoes. Are you saying I wasn't paying attention

637
00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:32.679
enough to the fucking plot of the
show. He might have explained it.

638
00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:37.920
That's a good chance that happened.
Also, Sonic never once said did I

639
00:44:38.119 --> 00:44:45.960
do that? Snapped the suspenders?
A fucking idiot? This thing's stunk.

640
00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:47.960
I hated it, you know,
what doesn't stink? You know what is

641
00:44:49.159 --> 00:44:53.880
great? Yeah? Season two,
episode fourteen from nineteen ninety two, Rugrats

642
00:44:54.079 --> 00:45:00.320
the Santa Experience. Angelica is a
bad ca and she even says it bad

643
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:04.639
guy. She is talking to herself
in the corner and she's like, Cynthia,

644
00:45:05.079 --> 00:45:10.159
I'm so bad, I'm so bad, Cynthia. She learns her lesson

645
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:15.000
though, because bad kids don't get
gifts, they get coal. Did Raffi

646
00:45:15.159 --> 00:45:19.679
watch this one as well? Raffi
has watched it several times now, so

647
00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:22.679
he's in on the Rugrats. He's
in more specifically on this episode. He

648
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:24.480
likes it because Santa shows up at
the end. Don't want to spoil nothing,

649
00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:29.920
but Santa does show up at the
end, and Angelica does get her

650
00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:35.320
Cynthia dream house with the Jacozzie and
satellite television. But when she opens the

651
00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:40.679
garage, little piece of coal,
Little piece of coal. This doesn't really

652
00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:45.960
send a message though, if you
got what you also Charlotte in this episode

653
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:51.480
Electric Oh yeah, Charlotte. She's
on her cell phone for fifteen straight minutes.

654
00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:54.960
She's talking in the background of the
scene for fifteen straight minutes. I

655
00:45:55.039 --> 00:45:58.920
guess that makes sense, though.
The wealthy folks in ninety two probably did

656
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:02.159
have a cell phone. This is
her talking herself up too for fifteen about

657
00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:06.280
you know, being a powerful woman. Do you remember the first time you

658
00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:09.000
saw a cellular device saved by the
bell? No, I mean in real

659
00:46:09.079 --> 00:46:13.119
life. No, I've seen beepers. I remember, like a beeper.

660
00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:15.880
My cousin had a beeper. Everyone
had beepers. I remember my uncle this

661
00:46:16.039 --> 00:46:22.800
must have been ninety seven, had
a car phone, so it was like

662
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:24.239
a cell phone, but it was
like mounted in the car. I thought

663
00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:28.079
it was the coolest fucking thing ever. The babies also set a trap to

664
00:46:28.159 --> 00:46:31.960
catch Santa. But what happens is
they catch Chazz dressed as Santa. Chazz.

665
00:46:32.320 --> 00:46:40.039
Chucky too, fucking Wiener family,
Chucky, It's just me. Next

666
00:46:40.119 --> 00:46:44.760
time your wife wakes up with her
hair, il Fragiley tell her she looks

667
00:46:44.760 --> 00:46:51.159
like Chucky. Just both of them
is whining constantly. Drew's pretty good too.

668
00:46:51.159 --> 00:46:54.119
I like Angelica's entire family. Also, the parents once again same age

669
00:46:54.119 --> 00:46:59.360
as us, so feel good about
thirty four thirty three. Wow, we're

670
00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:02.679
older than the older than the parents
on And actually I really like the parents

671
00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:07.039
on the rug Rats because it seems
like they're doing everything for their children,

672
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:10.039
but they're just doing it for themselves. Yeah, they get to hang out.

673
00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:13.159
That's why all the kids are hanging
out. That makes me think of

674
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:20.760
myself once again. Also another electric
character. I'm sorry to hang myself up

675
00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:24.320
on this episode. This is a
great episode of Nickelodeon television. You're talking

676
00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:28.599
more about this than any of the
movies we just talked about. Grandpa lou

677
00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:34.320
fucking amazing in this. He tosses
out two or three lines that are just

678
00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:38.039
gangbusters. One of them. So
they are getting a cabin for all of

679
00:47:38.119 --> 00:47:42.159
them to stay at for Christmas,
and they're like, I'll call the travel

680
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:44.960
service, I'll do this, I'll
do this, and then Grandpa goes I'll

681
00:47:45.079 --> 00:47:50.159
drink some magnog and fall asleep on
the couch. Classic good. I'm trying

682
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:52.559
to think that doesn't make me feel
that old thinking about it, Yeather than

683
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:58.440
the rug Rats' parents are the same
age. I always feel old watching Friends

684
00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:00.079
and thinking about how old they were
Season one of Friends. What are they

685
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:02.800
supposed to be? Twenty five something? In Season one of Friends? That

686
00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:07.159
makes me feel old. I think
when I first felt old was when I

687
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:12.159
realized that I was older. Than
the youngest athlete in the NFL. You

688
00:48:12.239 --> 00:48:15.360
felt old at twenty one somewhere around
there. When I realized that Cam Newton

689
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:19.199
was younger than me, I'm like, a fuck, I should probably buy

690
00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:22.400
a house or something. I think
the next thing for us feeling old,

691
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:25.840
as in when we're older than every
athlete, every professional athlete. Brady was

692
00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:29.679
saving a lot of folks. Yeah, we're getting up there, though once

693
00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:31.639
we get thirty eight, there's only
going to be like an NFL kicker younger

694
00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:36.199
than us. And then finally an
episode that my son really couldn't sit through

695
00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:42.320
because well, it is about someone
trying to get someone a secret Santa gift,

696
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:45.119
and that is reuniting him with his
daughter who he hasn't seen in two

697
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:51.519
decades because of a war. And
that is the Hey Arnold Christmas Special where

698
00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:55.519
Arnold gets mister Huynn as a secret
Sanna and what he tries to do is,

699
00:48:55.800 --> 00:48:59.559
you know, like I just said, reunite him with his daughter that

700
00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:04.119
were separated. It's an amazing episode. Did I cry? I fucking cried

701
00:49:04.159 --> 00:49:06.760
again. I believe you. I
believe you by the end of the episode.

702
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:08.840
Don't want to spoil nothing, but
yes, he does get mister Huynn

703
00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:12.719
back with his daughter. I believe
her name is ma. I want to

704
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:16.559
say, Okay, the one the
biggest distraction in this episode, and I

705
00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:22.719
don't remember this from like later episodes, Helga's lisp is insane. Yeah,

706
00:49:22.920 --> 00:49:25.239
I guess she's got a slight one. I wouldn't. I don't recall her

707
00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:29.400
having a massive one though. Watch
this episode you'd be like, what is

708
00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:32.480
happening with these characters? I don't
remember this? Yeah that I haven't seen

709
00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:36.480
an episode of Hey Arnold in quite
some time. Paramount plus, you have

710
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:42.400
great jokes from Gerald, who gets
all of his family ties. What do

711
00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:45.679
you do these days for family gifts? Does your family we don't do gifts

712
00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:46.880
anymore. Yeah, that's smart,
that's the way to do it. At

713
00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:50.119
a certain age, you don't need
anything. We talked about this the other

714
00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:52.639
day. You get yourself what you
want. Well, no, so we

715
00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:55.639
do gifts for my parents, sure, and yeah, we've been so good

716
00:49:55.679 --> 00:49:59.880
at getting them gifts the last like
three or four years that we are setting

717
00:49:59.920 --> 00:50:02.000
up ourselves up for failure this year. Sure, Bill's gonna be disappointed.

718
00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:06.480
This year. We got Bill a
fucking seventy five inch television last year.

719
00:50:06.559 --> 00:50:08.320
Yeah, but doing eighty five this
year, I bought him an iPad.

720
00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:12.000
Oh it's pretty good. That's not
bad, right, Yeah, that's pretty

721
00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:14.079
good. Hopefully he's not watching this, even though I already gave it to

722
00:50:14.159 --> 00:50:19.480
him. And then my mom,
we have gotten her like two years ago

723
00:50:19.519 --> 00:50:22.239
because she was working from home and
she was working in like the dining room.

724
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:28.800
I would sneak upstairs every single night
and I was I was making her

725
00:50:28.840 --> 00:50:31.559
a home office. And then on
Christmas Day? How did she not notice?

726
00:50:31.800 --> 00:50:35.440
I was very very sneaky. Yeah, but she never just opened the

727
00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:37.760
door. No. And then on
Christmas Day I brought her upstairs and she's

728
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:40.280
like, how did you build an
entire office in here? And I'm like,

729
00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:45.239
whose room is it? Was it
formerly Elena's old rum? Okay,

730
00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:49.519
is your room still there? Yes? My room is still there. My

731
00:50:49.679 --> 00:50:52.960
brother has my old room. Yeah, my brother's old room is now filled

732
00:50:53.119 --> 00:50:58.760
with just garbage. It's just a
storage room. My parents do the worst

733
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:02.559
job with, uh, you know, utilizing the square footage of the house.

734
00:51:06.239 --> 00:51:09.239
It's just all storage rooms. No, it's not. We meant to

735
00:51:09.280 --> 00:51:13.760
call A and E in there soon? Is that the station as hoarders yeah,

736
00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:16.639
I think so. I meant to
call them up soon because I'll tell

737
00:51:16.639 --> 00:51:22.559
you what, Hoarders is a show. It's it's it's rare to make me

738
00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:28.280
uncomfortable. That show makes me very
uncomfortable, very uncomfortable. So I recommend

739
00:51:28.360 --> 00:51:30.320
out of these. We'll talk about
Elf next week. Mup at Family Christmas,

740
00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:35.559
yes, Charlie Brown Christmas No,
and come right at me. I

741
00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:37.960
don't care. I don't like it. I don't like it one bit.

742
00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:43.199
It's not entertaining to me. Like
it's loose gobbledygook animation. I don't like

743
00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:47.760
it. It's a technical term.
Sonic Christmas is terrible. It's so much

744
00:51:47.800 --> 00:51:52.400
better or worse than Charlie Brown.
Charlie Brown's better. Charlie Brown is better.

745
00:51:52.079 --> 00:51:54.360
And then uh, top of the
list. Actually know, hey,

746
00:51:54.440 --> 00:51:59.239
Arnold's probably the best one there.
But Rugrats, I love it. What

747
00:51:59.320 --> 00:52:01.800
would Raffie have? Number one?
Rugrats? No? Muppet Family Christmas.

748
00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:05.199
He loves it, Okay, all
right, I like that. There's a

749
00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:09.360
part of the Muppet Family Christmas where
Kermit's wieneror nephew is singing jingle bells in

750
00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:15.039
a very soft tone, and then
Electric Mayhem comes in and jingle bell rocks

751
00:52:15.079 --> 00:52:21.039
It love that. Yeah. Also
the first appearance of Muppet Babies Mappe Babies.

You are lining my pockets. Check
us out start a next week news

764
00:53:12.840 --> 00:53:15.880
dump. There is some great Bob
Eiger blame game going around that I just

765
00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:22.519
want to just get in there.
He's He's amazing right now between him,

766
00:53:22.280 --> 00:53:27.239
who else is going crazy? Zack
Snyder talking all sorts of nonsense right now.

767
00:53:27.360 --> 00:53:30.119
So I would fight Zack Snyder.
I think he's moved above Ryan Johnson

768
00:53:30.199 --> 00:53:32.440
for me. I mean, I'm
a I'm a huge Snyder fan. I'm

769
00:53:32.440 --> 00:53:37.039
the Snyder fan of this podcast.
I love the fact that he said he

770
00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:42.840
would do a DC movie if it
was The Dark Knight. Well, just

771
00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:45.400
because you dove right back in on
Ryan Johnson immediately too. I'm a huge

772
00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:52.360
fan of him saying that he would
do Daredevil if asked. Zack Snyder,

773
00:53:52.719 --> 00:53:55.039
Zack Snyder fan. You know,
well, I'm not gonna say because Scorsese

774
00:53:55.159 --> 00:53:59.440
hasn't changed, but what Scorsese does, he is better than Zack Snyder.

775
00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:05.480
A lot of filmmakers adapt and change
and innovate and make new technologies. I'm

776
00:54:05.480 --> 00:54:09.039
thinking of Peter Jackson, I'm thinking
of James Cameron as someone who is kind

777
00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:12.480
of on my shit list too,
but at least they're doing the new things.

778
00:54:13.000 --> 00:54:16.280
Zack Snyder has done the same fucking
thing, same techniques for twenty years,

779
00:54:16.480 --> 00:54:20.639
and it worked. It was cool
twenty years ago. Three hundred was

780
00:54:20.719 --> 00:54:23.840
cool. Fucking sixteen years ago.
You know it's not cool that stuff.

781
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:28.159
Now that stuff is not cool anymore. Do something new. I think my

782
00:54:28.280 --> 00:54:30.760
favorite director is tell me to go
fuck myself, and that if I don't

783
00:54:30.840 --> 00:54:34.719
like what they're doing, I'm stupid. I kind of respect that. I

784
00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:37.880
respect. It doesn't mean I'm gonna
like you. Ridley Scott and James Cameron,

785
00:54:37.880 --> 00:54:44.760
you guys are my two favorite listen. I think James Cameron's a moron,

786
00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:50.119
but at least he's an innovator.
He's using and creating tools that other

787
00:54:50.199 --> 00:54:53.840
people can now use like Peter Jackson's
done, but man Zack Snyder's been using

788
00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:57.360
the same shit for twenty years.
Do something new, Brick. I think

789
00:54:57.400 --> 00:55:02.119
it goes by jim Cameron, doesn't
he You might Jimmy John Cameron. All

790
00:55:02.199 --> 00:55:05.400
right, and I'll do it for
this episode. Check us out next week

791
00:55:06.920 --> 00:55:16.239
Tuesdays or Gruesdays. I abuse Kangaroo. Heye, please flip the cassette over

792
00:55:16.320 --> 00:55:21.079
to side B to continue the adventure. One of these days you might have

793
00:55:21.199 --> 00:55:27.480
to explain the abuse Kangaroo is thing
that's from like five years ago, six

794
00:55:27.599 --> 00:55:29.920
years ago. We're still recording right
now. I can just do it right

795
00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:32.599
now, a little postmac and good
credit here. That is from when I

796
00:55:32.719 --> 00:55:38.159
filled in for Davy in the eight
episode of Dork. Oh, so that's

797
00:55:38.239 --> 00:55:44.800
twenty seventeen, I think twenty seventeen, six years and Weei ships out a

798
00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:50.639
transcript of their generated transcript of the
recording, and I don't know, I'm

799
00:55:50.679 --> 00:55:54.719
so much of a fucking mushmouth that
it said that I said I abuse kangaroos.

800
00:55:54.760 --> 00:55:59.440
So that's just my catchphrase now.
It towards the end of the episode

801
00:55:59.480 --> 00:56:02.119
for whatever, and you could go
in and see that it had Goo saying

802
00:56:02.239 --> 00:56:07.639
I abuse Caker Bruce. There's nothing, there's no phrase even like that.

803
00:56:07.079 --> 00:56:09.800
I don't even know. It was
one of the funniest things ever, Like,

804
00:56:09.880 --> 00:56:13.360
what the fuck? All right,
bye bye,
