We appreciate your support checking all our other reviews. Sidequest x Men will be
in the feed no news maybe next week, you know. Kirka Patzer spoy
three free not three. I got three spoilers in the movie. Emily Blunt
in the movie. What did you think of The Fall Guy? Because I
feel like this's got a lot of hype. You know, we were big
fans of Bullet Trained. That was a big experience for us. It was
a Golden Geek nominee also as well, so there's a lot of hype coming
in here. David Leech doing this. You got Ryan Goss, Emily Blunt,
and a lot of other great actors Arete Johnson for Taylor. You know,
but what did you what was your experience with The Fall Guy? Fall
in love with The Fall Guy? I fell I don't know if I fell
in love. I definitely had a lot of hype for this movie coming off
a Bullet Train. I absolutely love that. That was like, that was
like some of the hardest I've ever laughed in movie theater. I think,
uh so, for like all those reasons, I was just expecting the big
belly laughs. I think I still got like some somewhat there with the with
the belly laughs. There some moments that really really got me. But I
will say this movie was a lot more of it's a rom com, but
it's a lot more of like emphasis on the rom than I was maybe expecting
versus the com. That makes any sense there, I I don't know.
I just think because I had those expectations for the big belly laughs, it
didn't get as goofy or ridiculous as maybe I was expecting it to be,
just because I thought bullet Train kind of went there. There is goofy moments,
but just not to the full extent that I was kind of expecting.
So that I don't want to say it like caught me off guard because I
just had really high expectations. But it just didn't quite meet those super high
expectations for that reason. But I still think as a movie it was definitely
still a really great time. I think both Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt were
just fantastic in this movie. They were really really great. I really love
their chemistry, and yeah, it was just maybe a lot. It was
really cool to see kind of like a movie, a movie about making a
movie, like especially for like a stunt person's perspective, but also just like
when we were kind of following Emily Blunt's character as the director and just there's
one specific scene it happens throughout the movie, but just so many people on
the crew are like going to her and it just kind of like made me
realize how hectic that job must be of just the director of a movie.
You know, I you know, I've been a part of a movie making
process, but there's definitely for me, there's definitely a lot less movie pieces
than what these large scale, big budget movies would have, and it just
kind of, I don't know, it's like we've seen so many movies on
the podcast, talked about them so much, but to really kind of peer
behind the lens of like what's going on all the movie pieces, it's it
kind of it's easy to forget just just how much is evolved in the movie
making process. So I did like what was shown there, And yeah,
I thought Aaron Taylor Johnson was also really good with the role that he had.
I definitely want Tom in more roles like this. Uh, this doesn't
get me super hype for Craven, but uh, it gets me excited for
maybe more roles like this. That'd be great. Like, I know,
people, it's not comical gack, right, I don't care make craving a
weird own, have aritage on some playing like that, you know. Yeah,
uh but yeah, I think that kind of covers my general thoughts right
now. I'm yeah, I still think it was a really great time.
But my expectations were a little bit, a little bit maybe too too high
for this one. But it was still it was still a great time.
You know, stuntman thumbs up, I would definitely give it right now,
quick rating. There you go, bringing some stuntman slash x me and rating
mister muss, where are your thumbs at? My thumb? I thumb's firmly
up, you know, honestly, Kirkling. With the opening statement you had
there, I I feel like we saw a different movie. I don't know.
I feel like the romance to me was kind of I don't know,
underneath all the kind of action comedy stuff. I felt like that was kind
of the four front of the movie. And yeah, I don't know.
I just feel like the vibe I got, like a very different vibe off
of it than you did, which is interesting. But I really enjoyed it.
I had a ton of fun with this. I like this more than
Bullet Training. That was a great time too. I mean I didn't see
that one in the theater, so maybe that would take away a little bit
of enjoyment because it's such a cinematic type movie. But I had such a
great time with this. I think the acting is just amazing. Like the
chemistry between Gossling and Emily Blunt and bank on her name there is so good.
And that's maybe one of my cons is I wanted more of them,
and I'll explain why I feel that way in the spoiler section. But they
were so good together. Gossling is so fucking funny. He's so good in
this. And then all the other side characters, Aaron Taylor Johnson doing like
McConaughey sort of thing. Impression at times is so good. All the other
side characters some some fun sneak peak sort of characters in there too. I
thought, you know, the action is really great as well. I love
the kind of you know, this movie's not trying to hide the fourth Wally
elements of it. It's very much like a telling this. They're telling you
about the story that the movie is then gonna tell. But I really I
thought that stuff was really well done and really fun and still like creative,
but like the movie like knew what it was too, so it didn't come
across as really cheesy, like they nailed that kind of meta element art part
of it. I think maybe another small con for me, like the really
the cons I do have are like nitpicks. It's just like the ending sequence
like just kind of stretched out longer than it needed to. For me.
There was a particular there was a moment when I thought it would have been
like the perfect ending, and then there's like fifteen minutes more action and there's
like epilogue at bo there's a lot it just kind of keeps going, So
that would be a minor comment. I was having such a good time at
the theater for this one that I didn't even really care. So yeah,
I've I freaking loved this. I had such a good time, way way
more than I was expecting to even so yeah, big big fan, I'll
go next, because I'll leave a mister field last. Yeah, I didn't
expect this movie to be maybe one of our more divisive reviews, but I'm
on the opposite end where this is probably my most disappointing movie this year.
Yeah, I had the expectations too, but I think for me it was
just I had a problem with tone, where at times they felt like they're
trying to be in the real world, and then at times they felt like
they're trying to do tropic thunder. And the movie kept bouncing back and forth
where you'd have Emily Blunt and a producer of a movie who's just a character,
just a regular person, but then come time in action scene, they're
pulling out things like you see a John Wick movie, and I get it
because it's David Leech, and I wish it kind of win in one corner
of the other. I agree the chemistry is fantastic. I agree almost you
could use a bit more of that. I think they gelled really well.
Emily Blunt's just very charming in this. Ryan Gosson always created the like especially
i'd say the past five years doing this since nice guys like the self defecation
humor. I think he's very good at that. I think for me too,
it's just a lot of the jokes, that's all we're humor subjective didn't
hit. It felt like it was a lot of improv that just was on
the set they thought was good and here's a good thing if it's not improv
They played it off very well and very natural. Then the writing just wasn't
good. I did notice the writer because they did very cool credit credits.
If I get in the script in the guy's name, it is true something
I'll find out before the interview. But they were doing them in a highlight
way. It's like, Oh, I wonder if he wrote Bolt Train,
and I'll have to check after. And then as the movie went on,
I went this guy didn't write Bulltrain, and he didn't write Bull Train.
There was just something where Bull Trained to me, felt more succinct tone wise.
The whole time way with this it bounced all over. I didn't laugh
much. I was really wanting to laugh a lot, and there wasn't.
There was. There's a few moments. I probably Kirk has more than me,
but I think I have a few moments, but nothing like Bull Training
where it was moment after moment. And I think in general this is kind
of like he did Hobbs and Shaw, and I think it's kind of like
that, Like it feels very better than a fast and furious movie. But
as far as the humor goes. But I've liked a lot of his other
work. I preferred Pulled two to dead Pool one. But yeah, just
something here didn't work for me. I think it's way too long. I
think that like the ending sequence, I think you could cut half an hour
out of this movie. The beginning sequence I think is too long as well.
I think there's lots of other moments that they just kind of skip over
and they lampshade but could be needed. I think that is more with Gossling
and Blunt. So yeah, I think this could have as an hour and
a half could have ripped. But sometimes there's just multiple scenes that go on
way too long. And I think it's different if I think I'd feel a
little bit different, which obviously dil does and who knows about his theater,
but our theater was very quiet, and I would have felt different if everyone
was having a great time, like, Okay, I'm just not enjoying it.
But I felt like us three ones that are laughing the most, me,
kirklen Taylor, and we weren't even laughing that much. So I thought,
Okay, what's going on here? So yeah, it's it was fine.
It's not a fail. Or anything. Would I recommend it, Yeah,
I think you'd have a fun enough time. I don't regret seeing it,
but I don't think I'll ever watch it again. I don't. I
don't think it's gonna be needed another review. It just feels like one of
those kind of alright, action movies that happened, And yeah, I guess
I want to more of the realm and less of the calm. So that's
where I am. I jinxed it the Discord Jinkstick because I was talking about
my movies this year. I'm like, oh, Lisa Frankenstein surprised me and
love Lies Bleeding and greatst hits. I'm like, I'm having a good year
so far, and this will be that anticipated. But in no way is
it bad. There's lots of great they show in the credits, lots of
great practical stunt works. There's lots of great humor if you're in the film
and this the film world, I think they make lots of good jokes about
movies and production, and like Kirkle was talking about with the director, so
I think there's some good stuff in here, but nothing that I'm gonna really
take with me more than a couple of days and then I'll be like,
all right, fall Guy came out this year unfortunately, so that's where I
am Deerfield, where you bring us Home on the non sports abortion. Ah.
I enjoyed parts of this movie, but overall, this is a disappointment
for me. I was not feeling it. I think that it just a
con that I have with that movie. Argyle is that it just was so
long and it kept it kept rolling over and going on and on and on,
and I feel like, okay, like I couldn't tell when the third
act of this movie was because it just kept going on and on and on.
So that was a big con for me. But that being said,
there are some highlights in here. I think some of the jokes they definitely
they worked for me. But the character chemistry was good too, But I
would have liked to have seen things kind of expanded upon. There were some
surprises in there that I wasn't expecting, but just to get a little bit
more expansion on certain characters kind of interacting with each other, it would have
been a little bit nice. But yeah, it just it feels like it
was missing something and just the longevity of this film really just pulled me out
of it, and the way they did the whole end, like very very
end of this film was just and it did. I was, I was
really I was there at the start, I was there for the whole little
but at the end, I was really starting to just feel phased out.
I was not engaged with the with the characters at this point. I wasn't
engaged with the action. I was really not engaged with the story. Uh,
And so I would I would easily put Bullet Train over this. I
think that was just it was consistent, and like you were saying, Travis,
the writers were different, and I feel like that's before we even confirmed
that. I feel like, okay, no, we know, because it
just feels very different from what Bullet Train was. How their their dialogue is
between the characters and and whatnot. So ah, yeah, I feel like
this is just uh too. I don't want to say too short of being
great because it was long, so too long of being great? I don't
know, wow, too short and long of being great? Well that's okay,
but that's I mean though, would you if it ended? Cause they
think we all have the point where we thought would end it would have it
would have ended there? Does that make you more positive, Like, is
it mostly just that third act that that took it down for you? I
wouldn't say mostly just the third act, but it definitely played a heavy hand
in it. If it ended sooner, I think I could easily see this
being a little bit higher up for me. How many points did the end
the third act take off your score? I'm curious, don't give your score,
but how many did it? Just? Honestly, I'd say at least
two points? It was knocked up. I really didn't like how it was
just it felt dragged out. I really didn't like it. I hate when
movies do that, like it comes to an end, but like, oh
no, we're going on and we have the next you hear Mad the King.
Now I'm trying to calculate, like how what Taylor's score is going to
be? Return of the King is okay because it continues the narrative, but
this feels like it concludes and then keeps going on. It's the same thing
Argyle did, and it just I hate that. It's such a weird thing.
And I hope, I hope movies are not jumping on this wagon in
this day and age and doing this because that's that's let's not do that.
Let's write a better ending that just ends where it's it's supposed to. I
felt like it, and this isn't a spoiler, but I felt like when
they were changing the script of the movie, I felt like, this movie
script is changing all the time. But hmm, blow my mind, blow
your mind. Well, I'm gonna say from the set pieces, probably not.
At least the set piece is probably expensive stuff, so they weren't changing
that. But you know, some character stuff. So well, there you
go. So I don't do you recommend it to Taylor. I'd recommend seeing
it at least at least once, maybe twice. I don't know if you
have to rush the theaters, this is probably something. Maybe maybe twice.
Yeah, not in theaters, but theatrical screenings. I mean that's I mean,
if you enjoy it that much, then by all means, yeah,
there you go. There's no spoils. I don't think we helped you any
which way this time and recommending because I feel like we're all over the map
here. But I think if you like these stars and you're like and actually
it's probably sounds like enough, there's for you. But yeah, we'll get
into spoilers. We'll talk some of this out and we'll be right back,
and we're back. So where do we want to start? Here? With
the fall guy, which has multiple meanings as we learned throughout the movie.
You know, he fell, it broke us back then, he was also
the fall guy for the crime. He's also just a stunt guy. So
three on Tondres right there. You know, I'm just I'm gonna pitch a
start here. Aaron Taylor Johnson, I was not like, maybe if they
renounced that he was in here just went over my head and I forgot I
was just on his zone. We definitely talked about it. We definitely talked
okay, because yeah, when I saw him, I was like, oh,
okay, completely just thought this is great, and I would have liked
to see a little bit more when he kind of became more prominent in the
film. But for the most part, his persona, his character, I
was really enjoying. And especially when the start when when Ryan Gosling had his
accident and he's being carried out on the stretcher and you just see like blurry
like he's just thumbs up him. It was really good. Yeah, it
felt like he he had some time while he's doing Craven, because he's definitely
like the Craven bod going on right now, so I felt like he had
some time Craven come over here. And yeah, I've said that before.
I love this type of Johnson when he gets to play the weird, oh
make fun stuff. All the Tom Ryters stuff was like throughout the movie,
and I guess he's in it a lot that way because there's posters and scenes,
so they do a good job of sprinkling what they have. But yeah,
I don't know where we'll be at the end of the Golden Geeks,
and I wish he was in it a little bit more because I would fight
for me and supporting. But I really enjoyed him in here. There's some
character stuff that that's where I couldn't understand with the movie if they want to
be real wor alert or not. Because at the end his manager, who
I also really like her. I've never seen ted Lasso, but I've heard
great things about her in that show. Yeah, and I saw this like,
oh, yeah, I get it now. She's great. So I
don't know if I'll get around to ted Lasso, but I really liked her.
It's Hannah Wingraham or something like that. But there's a moment where she's
gonna shoot him. He's like, don't do that. That's my favorite stun
man, like best in the business. But then fifteen minutes earlier he was
gonna burn him alive. So that's where I was like a little like and
then at the end he's just still kind of a piece of shit. When
we got tom of the ending, I did not need. I don't know
why they did that weird post credit, like just have that in the movie.
They already showed Momoa in the movie, so another weird thing with the
ending. But overall I liked Tom Wright, right, I had fun with
him. Yeah you won't you won't find me defending anything past them landing the
car after the jump, But yeah, I think that's all that stuff is.
When I was like, yeah, I don't love how much they're jumping
the shark with these characters being like just true evil instead of like, okay,
there was this misunderstanding they're trying to work it out, and once you
know the plan, like, it is pretty evil what they're doing. But
then when it's just like, yeah, her with a gun and helicopter,
it's a bit much for for this like movie producer type character. And yeah,
I don't. I don't think we needed that last shot of him actually
dying at the end. Yeah, that was maybe a bit excessive because then
at the end, I expected they're gonna do some funny thing where you got
arrested, but they're showing like his recovery and like how he's gonna be a
better person. But they gave him one moment to be a good guy,
to like kill him. So it was it was odd, But I think,
like you said, that's the point we're all at, is the truck
landing. I think we all thought it was ending there, and then when
they revel, oh no, there's a way you can get the record.
I was satisfied. I too. Yeah, then you go into the little
epilog section you kind of explain, yeah, what happened there with the cops
and stuff that that's kind of it. But no, I and show them
having their love scene at the end, going on the beach. But yeah,
I don't, I don't think we needed the the whole helicopter sequence and
where And I feel like it'd be different if there wasn't much action in the
movie, and that Cay for the finale, we really want to go hard.
But there was lots of action in this movie. There was fighting,
there was cars, there's stunts all over. So I don't know what,
I don't know. I guess I just felt like they wanted to go really
hard in that ending and they did. I just, you know, too
much birthday, as the expression is, sometimes you know, yeah, that's
you have now, you have now. It's like too much of a good
thing, you know. It's like it's great that you have these great stunt
people. And like I liked the Gossling fall and they show them the credits
like there's some fun stuff going on. But yeah, yeah, definitely.
Yeah with the with Aaron Taylor Johnson, I'm somewhat with you, Taylor.
I like, I didn't know he was in the movie, but I honestly
thought that was his dead body in the tub when we when we first trailers,
so like I thought he was killed off right away. So when that's
revealed that it's no, it's it's Henry, uh fucking Henry. All that
stuff was good. Throw all the called acts, the footage of Gossling when
he's doing that, Like, yeah, all that's fantastic and like those scenes
reminded me of like Bullet Train, like the humor from that, and I
think I was just one a little bit more of that because all of that
one hundred percent worked for me. But no, Aaron Taylor Johnson, for
what was like his inclusion I guess in this movie. I thought I thought
he was fantastic. I thought he was just super super ridiculous, And like
I said, at moments I wanted this movie to go more goofy. I
feel like he was at like that perfect level. He's just he's just not
in the movie too too much. But uh no, he was. He
was good. And I agree wholeheartedly with what you guys said about just like
the length, Like after the the car landing sequence, it just seemed like
it I don't know, it seemed like they had a lot of different ideas
for for like how to end the movie, but they let's just throw them
all in there. Let's just do it and then we'll throw another one at
the end credit. I thought the credits overall were really cool, just seeing
like the actual just stunt doubles, you know, like people actually doing the
scenes, because I feel like that's kind of rare footage, at least for
me to see, is the actual versions of them shooting. And it's funny
for this movie because it's supposed to be writ in Gosling being the fall guy,
but then seeing the other Fall guys that are doing the falling our fall
guy, Yeah, surprising. They showed some with him too, which I
was like, wow, yeah, he was doing some stuff. Now.
I feel like this is like maybe gonna be one of my favorite like super
niche sub genres, like between this and Once upon Time in Hollywood. Just
like centering a story around a stuntman character is really fun. And yeah,
it's just one of those jobs that goes unnoticed. You're like, one of
my favorite TENACIOUSD songs is called Roady and it's just an homage to the Roadies,
you know, and it is like very much that same thing, and
I just think it's a kind of an hormable thing. I'm guessing you guys
had that little like precursor with David leach And and Gostling, which I don't
really like those. I don't. Thanks for coming to the movies, you
know my good Yeah, I mean this one worked for me because like it
not that we needed them to tell us what the movie was and who it
was for and who was honoring. So it was maybe a bit two on
the nose, but uh, I don't know. I still I think that's
a valiant quest to kind of, you know, give some props to these
guys, and like, yeah, they should totally have an oscar. I
think we've talked about that before, Like there should definitely be a winner category
for best stunt Man every year. I think it's coming for the first time
in like thirty years. They added best Casting age and or Casting Director,
So I think a great call. Yeah, I think stunt will be next,
and yeah, it's a good push and you should also go everyone look
up. Like all the things they've done at the premiere, they've done lots
of different like fun stunt things happening in the middle premiere, like right on
the spot that are surprised. So that's good. And that's one thing.
It's like it reminds me similar to not the exact same extent, but when
we did the Mad Max retro when you get to read about how much they
do in there and what they have to do, and that's a good thing.
Like there's so much practical stuff like there's some definitely CGI stuff here,
Like I'm pretty sure that ending with Emily blundex Comic Con, it's just like
a green screen background because she just did not look there. But that's what
I'm happy with, Like the green screen stuff is that it's backgrounds all locations.
And I'm sure, of course there's always green screen and c I to
you know, spruce things up and whatnot. But when they're showing all that
stuff at the and with the car Roll and everything, like they tried their
best to make everything practical and safe. So I appreciate that because I feel
like we've been talking about that. I think we've been hammering home a lot.
But ever since we did like the Ny Jones Retrospective, a lot of
like, look how cool this was when they're doing it, and it just
has just says makes those scenes feel better, you know. The one that
really shocked me was them actually showing like the car jump at the end,
because that is just such a wild jump. I was like, there's no
way that's actually legit, But then they show them doing it in the end
credits, is like, holy fuck, that's a big jump. That's insane,
super impressive. That's like hot rod level of stunt level. Stunt's hot?
Is he a stunt guy or what is he? Yeah? He's like,
uh, yeah, okay, he's not a Hollywood stunt here trying to
find more movies for Dyl stuntman but not like a body double stunt man.
I guess that's the differentiation. I guess ghostwriters same thing. A he's an
evil Knievil type. He is Johnny Blaze is So I have to ask,
because then everybody just covered their ears for a second. But Dylan, did
you catch something in this movie? There's a certain sound in there they whether
I like to hear that? That sound is fucking drilled in my brain at
this point. So you did you hear it though? When they're showing like
the metal sword, Oh of course, yeah, no. I mean that's
one thing I loved too about this movie is is the movie within the movie
I thought was just it was the perfect amount of hamminess and just like Dune
mixed with Mad Max, which is such a fun setting, and like,
yeah, seeing the trailer at the end, like that was a really satisfying
thing. I don't know if you guys caught too, but like the producer
credit was in there, for Stephanie Sho's character, Yeah, in the trailer,
so I thought that was like a great touch that they put that in
there. But I love I love the fucking weird look of the aliens and
the goofy voice that the guy had when he got the loudspeaker for a second.
Like all that stuff really worked. I just I love the the setting
of this movie. Yeah, and that reminds me too because it's late,
so might forget some stuff. But a big shadow we're talking about the ending
and things that worked and didn't work worked is when Ryan Gosling's in the trailer
in the suit getting beat up again. She's like in John Wickmo. But
it's fine. But all the sound he just peeks out around the corner,
Oh my god. Like his idea is to like tap her on the shoulder
and then just grab her by the mouth, like some good good stuff in
there. I think that's when Narth gives her the yeah signify that it's him.
She stabs him right in the leg with the pen. He's just like
squealing in pain, but he has like the voice modulator thing on there.
Yeah, and see that that's like almost the ending. It's funny to go
back to that scene when it's the brain like they're going over the breakup,
and that was like, that scene shows the experience of that movie for me.
Half those jokes were working for me and half weren't. And it was
like he went on for too long. But then there's be a joke I'd
like, so I'm like, okay, I'm into it, but then we're
going on for a little longer. So that's where I was like, Okay,
something for me is not exactly lining up here. But how'd you feel
about the Fall guy? You know, he's he's they've set up he's in
love with Emily Blunt. At the beginning, he has an accident which we
learned later as not an accident. They do the class that he grows out
of beer long hair, he's working, and then you know he's set up
to come back for X, Y and Z, which we'll get into.
Yeah. No, I think Gosling was fantastic in this role. I really
really do. I think his chemistry again with Emily Blunt, was was really
really good and just he had a good quality of innocent humor which I can
appreciate. And he looks so good in so many scenes, even though they
were doing like six retakes of him just being lit on fire and thrown in
the rock. I love those slow most scenes of him standing there and the
flames are on, like he'd make a damn fine ghost rider. Let's just
just put that out there. But yeah, I think I think he just
he's so charismatic and he really he really just brings his all in these types
of roles, and I like seeing him in this more action heavy role where
he's using his stunt career as kind of the the I guess the advantage against
these goons, Like whether he's fighting and he's got a gun with blanks in
it totally works out. He fakes dead when he knows how to like stop
the guy getting a way by throwing himself on the car, and the way
he's just climbing around like he's he's not a like a super agent or superhero
or anything like that. It's just he's just the Sun guy. But it's
so cool how he's able to apply all those different types of experiences that he's
had from different movies to the different situations. So I really thought that was
really creative and a lot of fun getting to see how they executed that I
agree, Yeah, I agree with it all. I like the character for
the most part. They this is probably the most Brian Gossling role that it's
ever been, Like, it's Ryan Gosling on screen that reminds me a lot
of rentals and downing when they do certain roles. I'm okay, he's definitely
playing a character here, but especially his humor. In the past five years
since I feel like he's done a lot more of this stuff, and I
just feel like in public, whether it's a facade or all, this is
a lot like him. So I think that works off that way. And
yeah, I think it was a good chemistry with Blunt, and I liked
him and Duke Winston enough. I don't know if I actually needed the whole
Duke Winston character. Again, when I talk about half now, I just
is it not Winston Duke or my other way around? You might be right,
Yeah, none of the movie quotes really working for me. It's just
like those felt like things that were a little forced. And it's fine because
they're in the movie industry, so I do get it. It just wasn't
working for me. And then he there's a really odd plot where the evil
security which I hated, but like they have guys on the set with like
machine guns looking for him, and he's walking around set with no helmets at
some points and they can't find him, and it's just like a weird subplot
of I don't need this around here. But I like them enough together.
So but no, I think Austin does a good job. And they made
him a lovable idiot, I'd say, so that works, and they he
gets a nice little uh kind of monologue at the end they explain why he
always gives the thumbs up. But I thought that that was a good realization
moment. So yeah, and I think he's just so good at the line
of delivery, so like every little sequence, I just thought he was so
funny, and especially like just watching his him on SNL a few weeks ago.
Yeah, and just like he's just such a funny guy, like his
his presence when he wants to be. Of course, he can be a
great dramatic actor too, which is why he's so great and obviously got to
show off this kind of muscle as well in Barbie last year. But yeah,
I just thought he was so good, even like the physical comedy stuff
too, Like I love the section where he just had so much fucking glass
in his hood and that just like kept going on and on like that.
That really worked for me. In the in the apartment there, I thought,
I thought he had really great chemistry with Winston Duke. And I can
agree with some of your character stuff there, but I really liked that that
duo. Yeah, the movie quotes, I don't know, may he was
a bit too much, but I just feel like this whole movie like,
to me, that kind of fit the tone. And even though I don't,
I feel like I haven't seen any of the movies they were referencing.
So the lines were the rings you got that one? Where was the Lord
of the Rings one? At one point over the radio, he yels you
shout up pass. I think it's when they were going to blow up and
stop the SUV's chasing. Yeah, I feel like past. Yeah, so
there you go. Look up for that in another watch. So yeah,
Well, like like Taylor said, I get to watch it twice, So
watching theaters though, you have to see it once in theaters or twice at
home. That's yeah, And you chose once in theaters, so no,
you can't do it. Sounds like you do once at home. But that's
the rules. That's the rules. Yeah, yeah, no. I I
also think that the goss was was super hot and his in his role here,
I think he's fantastic. His line delivery, his charis much everything everything
about him in this in this movie, I think he was just fantastic.
He's fuck, he's he's looking like you're you're shout out Craven the Hunter's physique.
Man, he was looking shredded as are or stunt double here. Just
yeah. Him in the action scenes as well, like I think he's just
he's an action star man, Like, like he looked really good just pulling
off the fight choreography or when he was actually doing the stunts, it all
looked really really awesome. One of my favorite scenes in this entire movie was
when he finally gets a vehicle and then he sees Jody coming out and just
turns on the radio. It's like all too Well by Taylor Swift is playing
and he just like stile like crying to himself. Like it was just I
feel like as soon as he turned on the radio, I kind of just
knew what was going to happen. And then the next moment you see like
a little bit of tears building up in his eyes, and then it like
it's a kind of a longer scene than maybe the way they edit it with
the flashback was really really well done. Actually it feels a lot more extended
and maybe what it is. But no, I thought that was hilarious,
and no, he was. He was just fantastic. So, yeah,
great lead. I think the nice knock of the windo, which I was
hoping for right as okay, oh yeah, no, exactly, like the
scene was like as it was unraveling, and I'm like, I think this
is how it's gonna go, and it went exactly how I thought it was,
and it was it was just chef's kiss. Yeah. And then on
the other side, Yeah, you got Emily Blunt and No, I thought
she was She's just like, I don't know, just kind of a given
like and I think it shows both these people have it. But just the
versatility you look from last year to Oppenheimer to this completely like they are that
she is the same woman, But you could like lie to me and say,
oh, that's like her sister, because like just the versatility of those
characters. Nothing alike that other character. Very dark, sometimes very dislikable to
this one being the exact opposite, where she's bubbly, but not bubbly in
a stupid way. It looks like she always got things going on. She's
very charming with the whole set you're kind of rooting for, and there's times
where she's a jerk tourmain character and it's justifiable or she plays it off in
a justifiable way where sometimes like they can have the other love interest, whether
it's male female, come off as like an asshole or a bastard, you
know, where it's like you're just like, oh, get over yourself,
but it's not so. Again, I wish that we actually saw the breakup.
I hate that it just jumped and they are together for they han't seen
each other for eighteen months. I wish there was a little bit of that.
I wanted a more emotion there because they refer back to that time a
lot and it was like a huge combat. It's something I wanted. But
no, in general, very good good stuff with the direction, good stuff.
I like the reveal of when she finds out it's gossing and they do
this big slow motion moment, but really for her, it's not right away
she's like, get this, like I can't work with them, like there's
no, this is not the guy and stuff. So she has some good
moments there. Karaoke is good. So yeah, I feel like I haven't
really seen her in a role quite like this before, So I was really
impressed to see this other angle of her for all those reasons you described,
And I think that's what I was mentioning where I just wanted more of them
because when you think about it, like they really weren't on screen with each
other a lot, because we have a whole section of this where he goes
missing or she thinks he's left, and then yeah, he is gone for
a while, he is missing, and then they connect and then they have
like a phone call with each other, and I one of my favorite scenes
in the movie is like the split screen section when they're talking about, oh,
maybe I'll do the split screen section of the movie, and then they're
just having this conversation where they're talking about the movie, but they're actually talking
about each other, and Emily Blood just has this fucking huge, like alien
hand on the whole time and all the things she's doing with it, just
like touching random items or just like has her hand on her chin. I
thought was so funny as he's just like broken into this apartment and still just
having this conversation. That was like probably my favorite scene between them, and
that one worked because like they weren't in the same room together, but it
was edited to be as if as if they were. But the rest of
it I just felt like there was too many phone calls between them, and
like, I don't know, I guess I maybe you would have preferred if
that boat scene had somehow been working to way which she was actually there and
they could be there in person with each other. And then another thing was
I loved the sequence when they just got to like film the movie for a
day without any of the really problems going on. Yeah, I thought that
was so much fun. But it was like that was one of the quicker
sequences of the movie. And we talked about how like so much of this
has bloated, and I just I wanted like one more day of them just
working on the movie together, because even in the final sequence, they're not
really together. They're in the trailer, but then he's in the car doing
the stuff, she's on the sidelines, and once again they're just like communicating
via the walkie talkie and whatnot. So I think that's maybe my my big
hold up is like they were just so fricking good together. Chemistry was so
so good that honestly for me, like, I don't I don't feel like
I needed that breakup scene because they were so good at filling in the details
with their acting. And then I thought the dialogue was great between them.
But yeah, I just wanted maybe another scene or two or three or four.
I'll take as many as I can get of them together on screen together
because it was just always highlight for sure, lots of slow motion kisses though
they had a lot of there's like five each time they kissed, very slow
Johnski, I'd be nervous. You know, Ryan, Ryan Goslin, good
looking guy. Nothing against John Zinski. He is too. Yeah, for
sure, he is Goslin. There's Canadian in them, you know, he's
he's a Southern Canadian, I mean Southern Canadian, you know. Yeah,
ah am, I next, are you next circle? Right now? Yeah?
I think I think she's great. I love her in whatever role I
really see her. And I remember, like justin Bureau and then devils forgot
about the adjustment. I thought you said justin Bureau. I was like,
man, he said, justin Troudeau. I'm like, what are you trying
to do right now? But I heard he doesn't like her always you Uh
yeah, the Adjustment Bureau. I really enjoyed that movie, and yeah Devils
Product really loved that movie too. She's just she's great in all these roles.
Yeah, Oppenheimer, you shout it out, So what's up to break?
You can continue a second, Dylan. Have you seen Ryan Gosslin's Drive?
I have not, iother I did. I might have actually, but
I was stun man movie. He plays a stuntman in it. Again,
so I gonna watch that, you know, Taylor continue. I just meant
to bring up half an hour ago and I forgot, so no good,
good call, good call. Uh. Yeah, it's it's just it's wonderful
seeing her portray such a different character, like you guys were talking about in
comparison to previous roles. I think you covered all the bases and just how
she's tackling just the the cheeriness and and the different charismatic features that she has,
and just the chemistry she has on screen with Gosling, which which is
great and other characters too, And I like the the dilemma that she has
with Gail, even though something was definitely off with Gail and her her schemes,
but then that gets reaffirmed obviously near the end of the movie when you
realize she's been in on it the whole time. But uh, yeah,
no, I just I liked I liked her character a lot. I thought
she did a really really good job, and I liked how they gave her
much more like involvement in the whole plan near the end too, because at
the start was like, Okay, is she ever gonna really find out?
You just think, oh, she's just kind of in the backseat a little
bit, and we have this relationship that's kind of redeveloping here between the two
characters, and she's not privy to the whole narrative going on where Gauzing's trying
to go through and figure out what this whole crime thing that's occurred. But
I'm glad that she got brought in and I'm glad that she was able to
actually help and contribute to the whole takedown thing at the end. That was
a highlight for me, and the whole end part I'd say this of this
movie with her contribution to that and her whole plan, because I thought Gauzing
was going to come up with a plan, but her his plan was just
kick the shit out of him and then she managed to get the confession everything
like that. So it's cool to see her kind of bring bring her a
game like that. Never got to really kick the show. They fall a
little bit, but you know, just I kick the shit out of them
pretty good. Yeah all right, different definitions of that, but anything.
What do you guys want to shout out or talk about next year? I'll
shout out another great actor in This is the Dog. I love this little
side character. Yeah, Jean Claude. There just this, yeah, this
this stunt dog who's like trained with only French words and somehow gossing knows like
like you expect him to know the basics, but then he's like like was
like fluent man. He sounded good. Yeah, I and that was I
don't know, just the way he would pronounce those things too, was just
hilarious to me. So that was a really great uh companion there. I
like that the dog made it out, made it out okay, So yeah,
show us the Dog. I like that was just something that I remember
seeing in the trailer that I was looking forward to seeing, and I assumed
that it was actually gonna be a more minor role than it was. Like
it is a side character for sure, but Jean Claude was like he was
in quite a lot of the like the final act type sequences, you know,
not just in the the car chise sequence kind of when he's first set
up there and he bites a lot of gonuts in this movie. Just really
yeah, murdered a lot of people with that bite. But he was fantastic.
Good shout out. Yeah. That was the only thing. Too many
ball too many ball bites. There's like too many, too many, too
many. I think after three, I'm good. And there was almost like
once he was introduced each set of bad guys, he had to do it.
I get it. But he was trained to do I know. I
just wasn't laughing. I just wasn't there. I was over it at this
point. It's okay, good little Mac with the ko punch. He's got
the nut the nutbrap. Yeah. But people would say that I use some
of those punches a little too much, a little bit, you know,
I agree with everything. Guy said that the dog was fantastic, and I
love how Yes, there was a lot of the ball grabbing, biting,
but there was definitely an interesting, extensive knowledge this dog had and it was
just this certain tasks the dog was doing. When Ryan Gosling tells the dog
in French to get the water bottle and it knows to get the water bottle
up from under the pedal, what do you do? Like, that's just
yah, what are you doing? You gonna go save he? That was
just that was really really good. I like how prominent of a character this
dog became. Mm hmm. What do you guys feel about the drug sequence.
I'm like mixed on it because I think went on a bit too long.
It was visually yeah, but it was so it took me not it
took me out. It was bad. It was just nothing like that ever
happens in the movie again, and nothing before. It's such a different type
of scene. It's it's it's much like Kirk when we reviewed Creed at three
and how there's some people that hate the fights in that because all of a
sudden it gets like really anime. It's like a different type of fight.
So I didn't dislike it. I was just like, this is quite a
choice, and I thought, oh, it is the rest of the movie
gonna be not of course drug feel but very stylized. And it didn't end
up being that. So I don't know how he felt about all, but
visually very cool though. Yeah, visually it was fantastic. I love the
like the fighting that went hand in hand with it, just highlighting like the
punches or or max that were that were being released by the goss All that
was great, But I was really expecting to like not being how we were
perceiving it. Actually I thought it was. I thought it was just like
a drug effect that he thought he was kicking ass and then it was just
like reveal that he just got his ass handed to him. Like I was
waiting for that moment to happen, but he just like the first action scene,
yeah exactly, he goes full John Wick Jason Bourne level where I'm like
this, surely this can't be it like this the stunt devil guy like he
can take a you can take a hit. He can uh you know,
drive a boat with his hands tied behind his back facing the opposite director direction,
but just take on all these like jack dudes there's no way. So
I was like waiting for the reveal to happen, but it didn't. He
was just was actually popping off while he was on these drugs. So for
that reason, it seemed a little unnecessary because it's not like it like really
like hindered him too much. It was just like emphasizing like the fight already.
So it was kind of a strange in that sense. I did like
the unicor, but just kept popping up, And like I think when he
first breaks into the the apartment or maybe it was the hotel that's he walks
in, there's just like a unicorn to the side, subtle enough that it
doesn't really like interfere with the scene, but you know that he's still on
drugs. Yeah, when you see those unicorns. So I thought that was
funny, But yeah, it was. It was a little strange, just
initially, but the execution was great. I like when the split screen pulls
away when she hangs up the phone and then the unicorns just like wait where
she was in a conversation. Yeah, I liked it. I I don't
know, I guess there wasn't a lot of just like straight up hand to
hand combat in this it's more like about the bigger set pieces, so that
was maybe a nice welcome change. I just like all the neon and the
bright lights of it, so yeah, I thought it was fun. And
that was when I didn't feel like went on too long, So yeah,
it was it worked for me. I think it was really really fun,
just getting like the neon colors and just yeah, the slow mow kind of
effects of him. Just the different shots too, just like the cork coming
out of the bottle and everything in that fight. Sequ was. I really
really enjoyed it. I thought that was definitely a highlight. I was laughing
when the unicorn was popping up, but I wasn't sure, like, Okay,
how long is this kind of gonna go? But it was fun just
how the unicorn was following him. It definitely made me laugh at times.
So yeah, I think the fact that it wasn't touched upon again later on
was a little peculiar, but I think they just really were just the one
the unicorn to come back, no, like just the the whole like the
fact I guess you don't need to drug him multiple times, but it just
felt like it was a one un done and the one undone was just done
for the comedic approach where he bumps into Jody and he has that comedic conversation
with her, and then he's just dealing with this unicorn that just pops up
every so often. So it was really only serving a point of just being
like a laughing thing. But I guess you learn later on that, oh,
they were drugging him because they were maybe gonna kill him, But that's
Ryan gos like speculating about that. We don't actually know, and even the
guy says too, like we're just supposed to drug you. So I don't
know really what the whole plan was. Maybe they were going to capture him
there. I don't know. It seemed like it was a pally thought out
plan. I don't Yeah, I don't think the drug was on purpose.
I think that was just the drug dealer guy, because they just need him
to go to the hotel, right, They didn't need him to be drugged.
So yeah. Another another thing that I thought plot wise was a bit
strange was this this plot that Gail had like set up a flight for him
to leave leave the city, like, because at first when it happened,
I was like, this doesn't really make sense for her and then by then
when it flipped around and the heel turn happened for her, like, oh,
I guess this makes sense. But then I thought about afforts, like
I still don't really understand even from her perspective, with the purpose of like
like did she actually get a flight for him? If so, that would
probably not help the case against him when the cops are doing all their investigation
of this thing after it's all set and done. But then like, I
don't know, they like they just needed to, like they had they sent
the garbage truck after him. Well, no, I guess the garbage truck
was more going after Stephanie shoes there. Yeah, because they're on the phone,
which is like he had the phone, so that's why I shouldn't have
on it. Same thing. She can kick butt. So I think she
did buy him a flight and I don't know what the but they had to
kill him there in Sydney, so he wouldn't have left. Maybe the plan
that was to intercept him while he was on the way to the airport and
they would know him like, hey, I've given him tickets airport, he's
gonna go there in the next few hours. Risky plays to get him,
but at least it's like you can't get him on the set, so it's
like, you know, from the set to the airport, there's like a
route he's probably gonna go geuse. Maybe that's what she was thinking of get
him. These guys are gonna get the phone, the other guys are gonna
get him, and then it's all gonna come together. Yeah, I guess
the But then the other side of it is like from our perspective, it's
it's making it look like like Gosson his character is is actually like gonna leave,
and he's like, well, I guess this is fun and all,
but like, ah, this is just a fleeting dream that it is not
actually gonna happen. So I guess I'll leave, and then shit just goes
crazy. So he doesn't end up leaving, and we never even hear him
say that. Really that like, oh, I was never gonna leave,
even though it kind of feels like he wasn't. So that was the one
plot point that I was a little confused by, even though it reveals at
the end didn't really fix it for me. It's a kind of a nippick.
It doesn't really matter, but just kind of a minor thing and he
wasn't gonna leave right because he did get back to karaoke ran with uh John
Claude right all yeah, I mean that was after like everything, and that
kind of changed the situation. But yeah, yeah, I agree. It
is strange, just her like main motivation, I think, to get him
out of there. I kind of just read it as maybe they were hoping
he would look more guilty of like trying to flee the country. Yeah,
and then with that lineup with the suicide storyline they were going for see No,
yeah, I wouldn't like it's just more gonna look guilty. Yeah.
I don't know. It was strange. Something that got me because I thought
for sure this was gonna happen. When he was text her another thing,
I laughed, when he's got a pickle. I got that got me.
I thought the whole plot point because I had that going on and the phone
gets shot, I thought, how they're gonna get out of it was that
he texted her the video Because the phone went in the water, we wouldn't
get to see that till oh it dries up and magically she has it.
But that wasn't the case. But I thought for sure that's why they did
this whole plot point of the phone going in the water and really didn't just
I guess to delay her from calling. And but that was a good moment
because it gets shot. And yeah, of course, the way they like
get him to admit it is very, very huge and over the top of
you're gonna have to get him in a car and you're gonna do the stunt
and he's gonna be wired up and yet but at that point it's like,
Okay, I'm going with it. So they got me a couple ways there.
I think we Luckily, I worried we're gonna go longer because they're doing
this like a minute montage of showing everyone reacting to him being and then luckily
it ended with him swimming. I was like, man, I don't need
ten minutes of this movie. Everyone think he's dead and then he shows up.
I thought we were going that route, so I'm glad they didn't.
Like, there's a version of this movie where someone gets in the car there
Ta Johnson. He takes off his glasses and it's like, oh my god,
he's alive. So I was happy right away they showed Okay, no,
he's still here. Because I was getting a little worrying, Like em
he blunts a great actress, but you don't need to make her depressed and
crying right now, you know, we're having a good time. But luckily
they didn't. So that's another pro for me. She had a lot of
faith in him, given that he had been gone for so long that maybe
she could have felt like, I don't really know this guy anymore, Like
maybe he did this murder, Like just believe that. Very certain. Yeah,
because that cockroach thing, remember let him out, that was the ceiling
deal. Yeah, And one thing I'm surprised never came back up was his
back because he has scars on his back. They showed the beginning movie is
stretching. He had those things, whatever they are. I thought at any
point there might be like an injury, whether it be the stunt or the
fight, and he's he's just good to go. So it's kind of surprised
by that. So he's got adamantium bones man, he does. Yeah,
very resilient. Yeah. Yeah, maybe he just just needed the confidence and
he got that once he did the car flip at the yeah, near the
beginning of the movie there, which is screwed up at first broke a camera.
You know he made it up though, Yeah, and same another thing
that fake. Now. I thought for sure she was gonna realize it was
him when she heard his voice over the radio, but didn't because he says,
like all the sands to whatever, and I thought she's gonna clue in,
but she didn't. That moment got me too, When he's get ready
to go, he's like, bad sand, No it's not it's not gonna
work. Go wait for the time to come in. Yeah, especially how
over dramatic it was of him like picking up the sand. Yeah, but
then and it's like slow mo but then it just cut out and he just
like throws the sand and then yeah, has that line. It's good.
Another kind of running gag I liked was in like the first half an hour
of this movie, or like once he's passed the depression phase and he's just
then off to Australia. He just he just really wants a cup of coffee
and just no matter what, he just can't get one. Where we're Ale's
coffee machine is broken and like especially the timing too, where she comes in
she's like, oh, don't use that, it's broken. Like after it's
already blown up. Or then when yeah, he gets into the apartment and
then that lady with the sword comes after him, he does the flip over
the couch and there's just nothing left in that mug. Then he finally gets
it when he's in the hotel at the end, which is like a not
at the end, but later on, which is a nice cathartic moment.
That was fun. Also, I love I Love Mamoa's cameo. I thought
that was very fun, especially with the dune connection there and this being like
a very dune like movie. But that was like a perfect kind of yeah,
four minutes sequence of him in there. I thought that was a perfect
casting for something like that. And they held that sticky note at the middle
too to allude to rightma Momoa, yes, yeah, which is funny.
In my notes, I wrote his name the wrong way too, which I
didn't even realize how I maybe would screw up spelling that name until it happened.
I did it all the time. But the sticky notes. I liked
that gang as well, Like when they get in there, it's just they
say it's like Memento, but when you get there, it's everything. The
little notes they had and Oscar Baby, Oscar baby. Yeah, but yeah,
yeah, no, I I enjoyed everything with his little loaf there.
I was trying to read, like all the notes. That's that's something.
If I were to watch it on streaming, I would definitely pause and try
and read all those nights. I had one of those guys in my theater
that just like says the things that he's reading on screen, and so like
he would just read out some of the sticky notes or he was he like
that text. He was like, I'm a pickle. I just like laughed
about that. Those are the words, you know. Just keep your thoughts
to yourself. It's not even like an interesting thought. It's just you reading
out with something you see on screen. Man. Yeah, anything else to
show up, specifically scenes, moments, characters. I mean I could just
show buns of jokes, but that's not really worth doing. Yeah, it's
just comedies, right. These reviews are always gonna I found it very funny.
I think that's all my notes, Travis. This Metal Storm movie that
was shown, I was just like, it's reminded me of Rebel Moon a
little bit. And uh, I don't know, this looked better than maybe
Rebel Moon could have been I'm more interested in this world. Yeah, yeah,
a little bit. I can see what you're saying there. So I
again, I haven't seen Rebel Moon Part two, but I would happily take
a movie of a Metal Storm because it just the fight scenes that they were
doing look super cool. I love you can find some equivalent on Netflix or
Prime Video of a metal Storm. This has like fifty thousand dollars. Well,
this looked like I had like a pretty good budget to it, like
just the effects and all that, and just the way like the ships were
coming in the background and the whole war was happening down below. I was
like, this is really cool. I like this the scale setting. I'm
glad we got the trailer at the end of this movie just to kind of
indulge in it. That was that was really cool. I thought for a
second we were gonna get a tropic thunder all movie moment. When the thing
came up and it's like the balloon it showed the title. I was like,
Oh, they're gonna do some sort of thing that this was a movie,
But they didn't. Just the trailer, so poor stunt guy has to
sit in the crowd you know, it doesn't even to go up with her,
you know. Yeah. Also, by the way, it is just
like a That's why I wish it was a bit more cheesier. But they're
talking about so much about careers and ending things. The idea that they think
this movie would come out if their stuntman was murdered by the other stuntman,
like that movie, w'd be fucking it'd be done ski And then even more
so, what happens with like Tom right, like for someone's first time directing
movie. I just laugh and like, oh, we gotta figure this out.
We're gonna in trouble. It's like, already someone's died on the set.
There's been this big thing. It's just so obviously it's a movie,
so it's all fun and dandy. But I laugh and they're like, we
gotta be really careful. It's like, already this would be persona non grata
of huge controversy like Tom Ryder. That'd be the equivalent of like, what's
the next that'd be in this movie fall guy Ryan Goslin killed a stunt guy
and then it just went on and I don't know if it could become the
biggest movie of that song. You know, so maybe maybe that news wasn't
officially public that Tom Ryder was doing this movie. True, yeah, true,
could have been a secret because they they did replace some of my moment
by the end of the movies not even know. It's just a trailer,
so it's yeah, the movie is still yet to come out. Yeah,
I guess they did replace them. So, you know what, maybe I
take it It depends how far along there, because we saw the deep fake
technology. I mean, they can just take all those scenes and put Momoa
in there easily, right. They did that, do that with the movie
with the Color of Money. When Kem Spacey had all his trouble, they
reshut all his scenes. Now he was just a supporting character, so it
is possible. But this is you know, it's all good. But yeah,
that's all the notes I have, Jesus, all the sticky notes.
Ah yeah, my cameras turn it against me. Anything else from you boys?
Mm hmm, all right. I will give this six point seventy five
out of ten. That's where I am one to try to get it to
some maybe one day. I probably will see this again if Emily wants to
see it. So I shouldn't put as the I'll never see it again,
but out of my way. It's not gonna be like bull train. We're
like, oh you gotta see this. Like we'll get to an eventually when
it's on a streaming service or Netflix. So had a good enough time with
Fit, but yeah, definitely, Uh, definitely. What I'm gonna look
back is, uh, all the tools and the pieces were there, but
they just didn't quite fit together. U two thirds of a puzzle done and
the rest of the pieces are kind of missing. So that's why I'm six
point six. Kirklin has a big puzzle, guy, do you agree with
that puzzle analogy? Big puzzle? Have you even finished that puzzle you're working
on Star Wars? I don't think he's there to finish it. He's there
to the journey. That's like the process. I have not finished that one.
Yeah, it's too hard. Taylor just speed ran that puzzle. You
can watch the TikTok. I've been studying your walkthrough and I don't know how
you got pausing it second by second liked and to you on YouTube like the
millisecond on TikTok jumping by frames exactly. Yeah. For for my rating on
this film, I think I'm gonna go eight out of ten when solid stuntman.
Yeah, no, I think I still think this is really great movie
with some just great chemistry on screen. I think my biggest hold ups were
just I was expecting a very goofy, just straight comedy that didn't have these
romantic elements to them, which you know, I like rom comms. I
just had to I had to set my little my tuning bar to the rate
genre for this one. So I do think, like, I am excited
to watch it again. Shay wasn't wasn't there tonight to see it, so
I'm excited to watch it with her, and I think it'll I think it'll
be one that I may be like more and more with each viewing. But
yeah, as of right now, eight out of ten, those Dune references,
those that was just so fucking good, ghostling crying in the car,
like like there there is some really great comedic moments that really got me in
this one. But yeah, Taylor, what he got. I am feeling
I was feeling a smidge lower than Travis, but you know, I think
I'm gonna I think I'm gonna match him with a six point seventy five I
feel like that's a pretty good not overly generous and not overly negative either.
On the film. Again, I had a fun time. I'm glad that
I did not see this alone. I'm glad I saw it with you guys,
but I feel like it made it a little bit. Yeah. I
mean I did see it alone and I had a great time. So maybe
you should have seen it alone. Actually that guys, Oh yeah, yeah,
you had somebody. But I think this movie it has its It has
its moments that are are emotional and upbeat, and and has comedic strides to
it too. That an action, it has so many different things going forward
that I think it's definitely something that people will watch at least once and they'll
either enjoy it or the long enjoy it. I don't know, but it's
something you should at least watch once because it definitely has those things in it
that I feel like a lot of people can kind of come together and appreciate.
Like you said, Travis, if you are informed with the whole movie
scene, you're gonna pick up on a lot of different things and enjoy it.
And for us especially the Dune cries was just great, and that's that's
just embedded in my in my memory, and I wonder at what point they
decide just to toss that in. I know, it's just a sound effects.
They could have done that at like like probably a week before they distribute
this to the theaters, probably for all they wanted, like care it.
So I doesn't know yet we got to put the scream and put it in.
Yeah, yeah, I wonder if it was before or after doing too
because it also Done two is coming up. But then, like Dune two
is now the biggest movie of the year, so I wonder if that enhanced
it because it it's not needed, but it's such a good such a good
cure you, So I'm happy there. So we gotta we gotta do our
own version. Sometimes I did not expect that I'd be the highest on this
movie going in at all, because you are the bullet trained trio. But
yeah, I definitely had a great time with this. Guys, get this.
I'm gonna give this a nine out of ten. Wow, I'm giving
a number I'm creating back for a special occasion. We'll see, we'll see.
I was just watching this and I was like, I just feel like
giving this a number, and I was out of ten for a while,
and then the ending. I didn't lose two points like Taylor, but I
think I lost one point plus some other minor things. So yeah, I'm
happily giving this a big stuntman thumb up in a knea, there's original score
would have been eight point seventy five. I guess without that ending. Yep,
and I was ending for me crazy. It's all about the ending,
folks, for thank you very much for tuning us. Let us know what
you thought about any questions, anything we missed, because we've also got newscasts,
and after nins, i'm sure we'll talk about this again. And thank
you very much for tuning in. When you hear from us next, it
won't be boring. Bye bye by
