But speaking of movies, last night, we were 16 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:18.519 invited to go see The Iron Claw, the world premiere of the Hidden Movie. 17 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.359 You don't know that. It will be at the Texas Theater, the 18 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:29.159 beautiful Texas Theater. I'd never been for whatever reason, to the Texas Theater. 19 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.280 I'd never been. That is a jewel. It's incredible. It's right 20 00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:41.400 on Jefferson Ave down in Oak Cliff. I'll start there at that place was 21 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.200 looking good. They had it all so I didn't know how like the setup 22 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:47.719 was going to be. But obviously the Marquis was all perfect, you know, 23 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.359 the Iron Claw. Welcome to Van Eric Country. The other side said 24 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.719 they decked it out all the neon was working properly in a huge uh I 25 00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.760 think it was green, but red carpet area off to the right with man 26 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:02.439 tons of press. It was. It was bigger than I pictured in my 27 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:06.920 head, like the world premiere movie night in Dallas, Texas. I didn't 28 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:08.680 know if it was just a nod to Texas, but this was like the 29 00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:13.680 real national world. I don't know, the first time it had ever been 30 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:17.520 screened to the public. Yeah, national outlets all over this and Entertainment tonight 31 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:23.280 was there. This is a December twenty second release. So, as we 32 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:24.719 said yesterday, I've never seen a movie this early, you know, I've 33 00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:28.680 never I've never been the first, you know, first person to see it. 34 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.080 And that's why I'm excited about this. We're the first people doing a 35 00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:35.439 live radio review of The Iron Flaw. And by the way, the actors 36 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.439 strike, which says real quick, the actors strike ended last night too. 37 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.439 Like I got home and opened up my phone and I was like, oh, 38 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.919 the actress strikes over after one hundred and eighteen days. So the writer's 39 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.479 struck over. The actors made a deal after one hundred and eighteen days. 40 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.639 Yeah, they have live or video of Jeremy Allen White on the red carpet 41 00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.400 being told by a reporter that the actor strike was over and that was his 42 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:58.800 first time hearing it, and he said, cool, dude, put two 43 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:04.719 thumbs up. That's right right as the audio you showed me earlier. Yeah, 44 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.960 we deemed it not worthy of air, but thanks for reenacting it, 45 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.199 we say, Katie will just reenacted. We don't even play the audio. 46 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:14.000 I'm a good actor and I've always said that it's not that hard to be 47 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:19.680 a good actor. Agreed, they're a tremendous actor. So the place looked 48 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.319 amazing. It was there. It was all blocked off, kind of like 49 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.199 the street was half blocked off. There's a lot of fans standing across the 50 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:30.439 street. We had a little security side entrance to kind of go into. 51 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:31.800 I don't know everything about it was bigger than I expected. It was just 52 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:36.360 cool. It was good to see Dallas looking fine, and good to see 53 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.719 the Texas Theater looking gorgeous. That place with a long, wild history. 54 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.199 It's just really cool for it to be the site of something this big. 55 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:50.159 I thought about this, excuse me leading up to it. I wonder if 56 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.000 the actors that were there last night, and we'll get to that in a 57 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.919 moment, but yeah, the main stars of the movie of our Iron Claw 58 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.439 were there, and I wonder if they were fully aware of the history of 59 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:03.919 that theater, if they had been briefed on that. Certainly, right, 60 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:09.240 despite sitting in separate rows, I'm very much closer than yours. I had 61 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.879 the exact same thought from my incredibly good vantage point of the film, and 62 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:15.439 I was wondering if somebody would stand up at the very beginning and sort of 63 00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:20.439 give a quick reset of that, like why Dallas, Texas, which becomes 64 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:26.040 obvious if you see the film, but why the Texas Theater? And yes, 65 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.959 like a one minute recap of the significance of that theater historically and just 66 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.480 how long it's been there. But that didn't happen, So I don't know 67 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.600 that at all, probably not. I fully expected the guy. So they 68 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:42.199 had the guy that kind of mceed I guess or made the introductions to the 69 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.800 of the director, some dudes with a European accent from the Austin Chronicle. 70 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.759 I guess he's their media critic down there. He came up to bring them 71 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:55.040 on stage, and I was really surprised that he didn't say something to the 72 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.759 effect of, you know, I can't believe that it's sixty years ago this 73 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.759 month that you know, blah blah, Lee Harvey Oswald, Kennedy, all 74 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.879 that happened this month in November, and not one mention of the history of 75 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:09.480 why it was being held there. Yeah, and quickly on that note, 76 00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:14.040 because we discussed this briefly prior to the movie beginning, I don't know who 77 00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:19.120 that crowd was, Like I think and we I think you and I disagree 78 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:25.360 slightly. I think it was more and we have JJ who can probably answer 79 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:30.279 all this and please do. I think it was almost more industry types from 80 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:35.920 la or wherever A twenty four is based that flew in for this than Dallas 81 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:41.399 sites in there. Not certainly there was a lot of people from this area, 82 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:45.160 but I feel like it was more people from you know that would come. 83 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:46.639 They would come to a movie premiere. They're like what Dallas? Why? 84 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.160 Okay, Sure, it was a mix. Especially seeing it at the 85 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:53.959 after party, I saw a lot of people who I know from the area 86 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.160 media wise, and then I saw like Andrew Frond if you know who he 87 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.000 does this nation, he fluent like he came in and yeah, yeah, 88 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:05.519 you're saying a few people from outskirts here obviously because it's you know, it's 89 00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:10.199 a premiere, it's a it's a world premiere. Because during the opening credits, 90 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.920 you know in every movie they show like five production companies and you're like, 91 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:15.519 why is this? They were getting weird applause and yeah, right, 92 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:20.480 weird for random. Yeah, it was like house productions. I think that's 93 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:24.720 it's kind of exhausting. I think that's kind of a given when you have 94 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:29.000 something that is like, uh, like a world premiere, that it is 95 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.439 going to be a lot of industry people that are either media or connected to 96 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:39.160 the making of the film in some tangential manner that you know, people from 97 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.240 a twenty four Like you said, no, I do agree with that, 98 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.480 but I feel like it was I felt like the majority, and even if 99 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:50.680 it be a slight majority, were people that were from Dallas socialite types, 100 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:59.240 people that may own lucrative real estate firms, law firms, people with big 101 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.839 business in dow Us that have the connections to be able to maybe that people 102 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:08.399 would reach out to. And it's the beautiful people that we don't rub brush 103 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:12.720 shoulders with in our line of work and in our lifestyles that are hanging out 104 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.759 and uptown and all of these these clubs that you hear about but you just 105 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.240 never go. It was definitely the beautiful people, which does explain why they 106 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.480 put you guys in the absolute dead last. He's not ever going to shut 107 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:27.600 up about something so insignificant when he was literally two rows in front of us. 108 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.720 I told the bathroom and they stopped me. I was like, hey, 109 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:32.000 guys, and I looked at the screen and then I look back at 110 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:41.120 that JJ was on the second row because she's big time in forty Answer one 111 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.680 question, yes or no? Okay? Were there any two seats in the 112 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.639 entire theater closer to the bathroom than the two that these guys were sitting, 113 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:53.360 which was a convenience That was actually a because it was tough to get into 114 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:56.920 the bathroom, so it was very convenient for you, Lathom. I told 115 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:01.360 Danny to request exactly pay a picture. As a matter of fact, we 116 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:07.439 were initially by Ashton given your tickets, and because Kevin has micro bladder, 117 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.480 we swapped him out so nobody would know. And our tickets came with wristbands 118 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:16.600 to the after party, yours didn't. Do you think Jeremy Allen White needs 119 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.839 to wear a wristband and get in the after party. I don't need a 120 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.360 risk band to get into the after party. Oh boy, you sure did. 121 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.360 JJ had a wristband, didn't you? I did, Well, I 122 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:28.000 don't. They looked at me and they're like, well, who's gonna stop 123 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.839 this guy trying to do anything? JJ? Did you see Mike at the 124 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:37.080 after party? I didn't. I was interesting. I didn't go. I 125 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.879 went to a different after party that you guys wouldn't even know about Yeah, 126 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:46.840 in my bed with Simon telling him I love him forever, I love you 127 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:52.919 forever and ever that all right, let's get to the damn movie The Iron 128 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.559 Claw. Should we take turns? Because I think we're gonna have some differing 129 00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:01.919 viewpoints here. Okay, let me preface something here as a full setup. 130 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:07.639 I'm thirty five. I've worked with older people, seemingly my entire adult life, 131 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.799 and someone like Ben Rodgers, who was there last night on the been 132 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.519 In Skin Show, who was a big von eric fan growing up, but 133 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.639 as a guy who only liked wrestling for a couple of years when I was 134 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.440 like twelve, in the era of Stone Cold, the Rock Cane, Undertaker, 135 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:26.159 Mankind, gold Dust. Okay, so a lot this form of wrestling 136 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.080 a little foreign to me outside of what we've heard our good listener and friend 137 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:37.879 Brody talk about. So first and foremost went in knowing some of the history 138 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:43.759 about the von Erics, but not the details very clearly, and just kind 139 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.919 of didn't want to know going to watch the movies. I just wanted to 140 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:48.600 take it for what it was. And I want to say that I think 141 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:54.159 anyone who is under the age of forty and might have heard their parents talk 142 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.919 about the von Erks. Should go see this movie just for that alone. 143 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.840 Before I talk about anything about the movie. I want to get that out 144 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.200 there because I think there's a lot of people who are younger Zach Effron's age 145 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.720 in real life who just like, the hell the von Erics. What a 146 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.559 wrestling? Regional wrestling? What's that even mean? And I think it's this 147 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:18.039 helps you. It made it very easy to go understand what's going on and 148 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:22.360 follow along with the story if you didn't know the ins and outs of it. 149 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.159 I think that's a good point, a fair point. It's a broad 150 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.240 because it's different. I mean, here, the von Eriks are you know, 151 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.000 to at least one generation of people. Gods, yes, And that 152 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.480 doesn't apply to me because I wasn't here at the time age wise, Danny, 153 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:39.759 I guess it could apply to you, but it's not right in my 154 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:45.120 wheelhouse. The problem for me was with wrestling. I was way into it 155 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:50.120 in the early eighties or mid eighties, early eighties, kind of like in 156 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.600 their heyday that the thing was growing up out in you know, central West 157 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.600 Texas. We didn't get Dallas local channels. We did not we got which 158 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:03.039 TAF we got Abilene, but like the sublocal channels like your Channel twenty one's 159 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:09.759 Channel twenty seven's where the Sportatorium events would have been televised, we did not 160 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.679 have access to those. The only wrestling that I had access to was from 161 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:20.279 the superstation WTBS at the time Turner Broadcasting Network out of Atlanta, So we 162 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:28.080 had wrestling from the omni and our mercer, Bill Mercerill mercer. Our Bill 163 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.080 mercer in my wrestling world was Gordon Soley. He was the announcer. He 164 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.720 was the guy that interviewed the wrestlers. So I wasn't privy to Dallas wrestling. 165 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:39.039 Of course, I knew who the von Erics were, and you would 166 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.440 see them in news clippings and ever once in a while they might when they 167 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:48.159 would tour that you might see them fight the fabulous free Birds. But it 168 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.960 wasn't a cultural thing for me growing up where I was just all van Erks 169 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.960 all the time. In my wrestling circle. I want KT to go first, 170 00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:01.200 Okay, I fing loved it and I don't even care if there are 171 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:05.120 some inaccuracies that I'm not sure of. I think hardcore wrestling people may have 172 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:07.399 some questions about what did that happen? Did that happen? Did he go 173 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:11.480 down like this? I thought it was awesome, And I think for a 174 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.799 story that does have that many dark moments in it, it never dragged. 175 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:20.480 I mean that was I was never sitting there looking at my watch like can 176 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.559 we go and I get up early tomorrow morning? I mean, is pretty 177 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.399 in that entire time. I thought it was great. Thought the performances were 178 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:33.000 great. It's a great casting job. I want to give Lily James a 179 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.600 bit of a shout out as Pam Kevin on Eric's Wife, because she looks 180 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.759 nothing like she did when she was Pamela Anderson and Pam and Tommy on it. 181 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:46.399 He plays Pam's Yeah, it's her thing. Yeah. When they make 182 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.519 the Office movie, she's actually playing Jenni Fisher's role. I man, I 183 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:54.679 walked out of that thing. And maybe it's just being there and it being 184 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.039 a special event last night and getting to see something a month before the rest 185 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.919 of the world could see it. But I told you guys, there are 186 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.600 no five dumplings because nothing is perfect. Four and a half out of five 187 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:11.159 dumplings. Wow, four and a half out of five loved it all right? 188 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:15.559 And I don't even like wrestling that much. I don't care about it. 189 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.000 I think that's interesting. Yeah, I wonder if that how much that 190 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:24.799 impacts things. UH did not love it, did not hate it. I 191 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:30.200 thought it was so close. I thought they missed the mark, but they 192 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:33.360 were so close to hitting it. Man, I agree with Kevin really well 193 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:41.840 cast. I thought the sleeper performance was Harris Dickinson, who played David, 194 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:46.519 the guy that really wasn't into wrestling but wanted to play in a rock band. 195 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.919 I thought his performance was outstanding. I thought it was too long, 196 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.279 and not because of the duration of the film, but because I thought that 197 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.960 with the limited the way they kind of microscoped, or the way they condensed 198 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.720 all of this vast material, they could have made it even even shorter film. 199 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.799 I thought with that, with a running time of two hours and ten 200 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:11.919 minutes, I thought they could have hit on some some more threads that they 201 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.960 left out. I think they could have expounded on some some storylines that that 202 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:22.480 might have been more relevant to to the overall narrative. One of the problems 203 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.559 that I did have is I feel like that Kevin was so involved in this 204 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:33.600 film as far as consulting, and I think that the filmmakers and the actors 205 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.000 wanted to pay so much respect to the to the von eric family. I 206 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:45.279 think there was so much deference paid to that cons or that that idea or 207 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:50.440 that ideal, that they avoided getting as visceral and dark as they could have 208 00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:56.440 at what a at the tragedy of this family. I thought it was really 209 00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:03.039 glossed over. Some of the darkness and mental health aspect and addiction aspects and 210 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.200 the suicidal aspects of this film were kind of PG. Thirteen To me, 211 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.120 it didn't feel real. I never I always felt like I was watching a 212 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.519 movie, and I don't like that. I want to get lost in it. 213 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:18.279 I want to feel like I am watching something that really happened. And 214 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.360 I thought I was kind of watching a caricature of events. I thought that 215 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:28.559 the hairstyles were funny and maybe not necessarily accurate. I thought it felt like 216 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:33.600 a caricature of that era to me, without being funny. But that's like 217 00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.919 analytical garbage that nobody really cares about. I enjoyed the film. I think 218 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:41.039 I would have enjoyed it better had they kind of gone a little harder. 219 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:45.879 I think they had an opportunity there, and they just missed it. But 220 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:52.120 it was good. It wasn't great. You ready, she can't, she 221 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:56.799 can't. Jjy's a part of the Yeah, she can't review it. Not 222 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.840 as part of the press, No, she can foreign press. I'll say 223 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:07.919 this because I tweeted this j on air Best Picture nom question mark. WHOA 224 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:15.480 Really? I was thinking that too. I can see it without seeing Killers 225 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:17.559 of the Flower Moon. Yet I was sitting there going, I can see 226 00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:22.840 it really the best movie I've seen it outside, man, I had one 227 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:29.200 Tenny caveat Outside of a couple of skyline views and the recreation, whether it 228 00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:33.080 be CGI or or actually a set build of the Sportatorium, I didn't really 229 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:37.840 feel like Dallas was represented in the film. It was obviously it was a 230 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.679 lot of ranch stuff people on ranches, But outside of a couple of aerial 231 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:47.440 skyline shots and then the skyline behind the Sportatorium, I didn't really feel like 232 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:51.639 I ever thought, oh wow, there's Dallas at all. Yeah, there 233 00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:55.960 was a great external shot a couple times of the Sportatorium. And look, 234 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.639 anyone who has been to the Sportatorium or saw the one Eric is gonna go 235 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:03.559 see this movie and that will give you nostalgia I would imagine. That's incredible. 236 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:06.039 I assume that's exactly what it looked like. I wouldn't know. I 237 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.400 heard that it was reversed. That when you're looking in the movie, you 238 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:12.920 look at the entrance of the Sportatorium, the front facade, the skyline in 239 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:17.960 the background. It was supposed to be back It was originally backwards. Yeah, 240 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:19.160 that if you were at the rear, looking at the rear of the 241 00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.079 Sportatorium, then you would have seen the skyline. Otherwise you would have looked 242 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:26.039 at South Doubt. It had a cool like Old I imagine that was c 243 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.160 g I Old and the Old Dallas skyline. I imagine that it was accurate. 244 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.759 There's a couple helicopter drone shots of Old Dallas, right. Uh, 245 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:37.559 it was really cool. That's us to nitpick the rest of the nation, 246 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:45.799 doesn't. That's just me local dingu making a studio a Christmas time release that 247 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.640 I think that's important. Yeah, this is a Christmas time released movie, 248 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:53.200 a holiday blockbuster film potentially. Yeah. I just felt like, if it's 249 00:17:53.240 --> 00:18:00.319 going forward, it's such a tragic, dark, horrible story and it didn't 250 00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.720 impact me as such. I felt like it they could have gone to some 251 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:08.519 deeper, darker levels to really send that message home. I hear what you're 252 00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:12.000 saying, but I disagree with that a little bit in that I feel like 253 00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:17.960 the whole thing was I didn't love it, and I went in there. 254 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:21.359 It's more excited maybe than you guys, because I like wrestling and I just 255 00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:23.480 watched it. And maybe it's because I just watched a documentary on the von 256 00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:29.119 eerics of the night before to get my head right for it, because a 257 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:33.880 couple of the tenants of the movie are I know, to be false in 258 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.559 a good movie, right from Trevian von Eric's mouth, like he is vehement 259 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:42.519 that there's no von Eric curse. There never was one. But in the 260 00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:47.200 movie it's all about this family's cursed. And I get it. I get 261 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:52.279 you have to embellish. But and maybe it's because that I knew I was 262 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:57.400 in real time noticing things that were inaccurate. There's no doubt you were doing. 263 00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:00.119 Yes, I was, and that's why I really am more curious. 264 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:04.279 And I think Kevin's and Danny's to an extent review is more accurate than mine 265 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.640 because they're watching from a different viewpoint. I mean, there was a von 266 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:12.400 Eric brother that was not in this movie of Chris van Eric, who committed 267 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:18.519 suicide, was never mentioned. I thought about that all night that I was 268 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.480 like, what I thought? I did think that that was weird. But 269 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:25.880 the director had made a comment about that. There was an article came out 270 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:30.839 he said he didn't add him in because of time. Yeah. I knew 271 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:36.039 that watching it live. And it's like, did this movie need another brother 272 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:37.960 that they loved the committed suicide that shot himself in the head, right, 273 00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:42.960 Like we had that a plenty. Yeah, rule of threes. But I 274 00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:49.000 thought the movie was I guess by design slow. Fine, Yeah, it 275 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:53.880 was sad. Obviously, it's an incredibly sad story. But Christine and I 276 00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:56.799 talked about this, dude, I warned her before the movie. I'm like, 277 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.640 and she knows it. I'm like, I cry, I'm a crier, 278 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.720 and if this movie is a jerker, I told her to go ahead 279 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:06.440 and take a picture of me when I'm balling. It might be funny because 280 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:11.200 I cry. I never even came close to crying for a movie that that's 281 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:15.480 sad, and I never came close. I did, Yeah, I did 282 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.799 too, Yeah, okay, and that's yeah, there's no right or wrong 283 00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.720 here. It's obviously different viewpoints. You guys all have like good valid points, 284 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.200 but you also have to keep in mind of it's based on a true 285 00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:32.640 story. I think people forget that this is still Hollywood. No, you 286 00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:37.240 you know fee to you know that Hollywood crowd, and yet they're taking bits 287 00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:41.200 and elements of their people's lives to create this story. Thinking like people thinking 288 00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:45.880 this is exactly how it went. No, that's why they put based on 289 00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:48.720 a true story. At the beginning of it, I've always known this is 290 00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.920 actual everything that yeah, of course, that's that's understood for sure, and 291 00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:55.279 I know that I don't, like Kevin said, don't let the facts get 292 00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:56.920 in the way of a good movie. And I'm fine with that elimination of 293 00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:03.000 Chris, okay with that. The problem was the actual story is so much 294 00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:11.599 more impactful and emotion pulling than what they adapted. Like, if you just 295 00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:17.559 tell the story and make it feel real, then that's enough, man, 296 00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:19.599 and that's gonna kick you in the gut. I think the emotion would have 297 00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:25.480 been offset by a higher highlighting of their rise to power and when they're at 298 00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:30.240 the top, which was essentially just kind of covered in a montage with Rush 299 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:34.720 playing. You know, like the Freebirds. Again, I don't need a 300 00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:40.400 wrestling documentary, but their battle with the Freebirds was fun and funny and that's 301 00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:45.359 what sparked their popularity in this town and that nationally. And the Freebirds were 302 00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:48.680 just in a match at one point randomly, and that's okay. I don't 303 00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:51.240 need it. It's not a document about the Freebirds. But then we have 304 00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:52.640 Rick Flair, and even the guy who played Rick Flair. I was like, 305 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:56.119 I don't know, this is kind of how I think. I'm like, 306 00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:59.960 you have to nail Rick Flair. He was there, by the way, 307 00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:08.759 the guy who played Rika. I also think this is this reminded me 308 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:11.759 of a little bit of of the Queen Movie because some of the kickbacks I 309 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.359 was getting from people and could I think Skin is the one I think talked 310 00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:18.119 about it with the last time when the Queen Movie came out, and he 311 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.160 was like, there's just so much they left out, and I was like, 312 00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:25.599 you can't tell that story. And this is why TV shows are getting 313 00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:30.039 increasingly more popular than movies. You need ten hours, you can need ten 314 00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:32.759 episode. You can't tell your life story in two hours. You just can't. 315 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:36.880 You have to. You have to figure it out. And yeah, 316 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:40.640 and then on top of that, because he's von Eric, Kevin is so 317 00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:42.599 involved in this movie, like y'all say, you have to think of him, 318 00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:47.680 to think of how he's sitting there and having to relive thought of him 319 00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:51.839 the entire time moment like these these tragic moments of his life. Yeah, 320 00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:53.440 and he was witting right there the people he cared for the most. He 321 00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:56.880 has to say, here, we live it. And I thought that the 322 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:02.079 director did a great job of kind of tatering in that, but also still, 323 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:06.119 look, you know, I think they did that to the detriment of 324 00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:08.240 the film. I do. I think they catered too much to the emotion 325 00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:14.039 and and what Kevin Vaughan Eric would think having a relive those real, real 326 00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:17.519 moments, and they avoided making a real, real film. And it's fine, 327 00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:18.960 it's a good movie. It's cool. I liked it enough. I 328 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:22.720 didn't love it. It could have been better, in my opinion. I 329 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.599 went in with incredibly high expectations and I enjoyed it, no doubt. And 330 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:30.160 maybe I was just throughout it. I was thinking the whole time Kevin, 331 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:32.799 Like I was thinking of Kevin sitting there going O, well, that didn't 332 00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:37.960 happen Nope, that's not true at all. Well, my brother is just 333 00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:41.240 eliminated from this movie.
