Seven Land Productions Presents Movie Night, Season three, Episode one, a novel
virus. Hold on, I don't see where the issue is. You don't
see where the issue is with letting your wife sleep with someone else. Now,
when a million dollars is involved, as long as both parties are okay
with it, don't you mean all three parties? Well, we already know
the third party is okay with it. Redford made the offer. Okay,
So Robert Redford shows up to your house and offers one million dollars to sleep
with your wife. You take the deal. But Brad doesn't have a wife.
He doesn't even have a girlfriend. Shut up, Cooper. Yeah,
I'm fine with it. A million dollars is a lot of money. Plus
if that movie was made today, it'd be even more. You know,
inflation. That's not how the hypothetical works. Yes, you have to adjust
for inflation. It's my hypothetical. I don't have to adjust shit, fine,
keep it unrealistic. The answer is still yes, I could use a
million dollars, but I would obviously ask my wife if she was okay with
it. Are you married too? That's irrelevant, No, it's relevant.
We should say you're married to me. More. Josh had that to the
hypothetical, it's not a shopping list. It doesn't matter who he's married to
exactly. But if my wife, whoever she is, is fine with it,
then I'm fine with it. It's still cheating, but I'm okay with
it. Hey, is Robert Redford the guy with the salad dressing? You're
thinking of Paul Newman? So Robert Redford never had salad dressing. I'm sure
he's had salad dressing at some point in his life, but he didn't produce
it, so it wouldn't bother you, Brad, I don't think so.
This is coming from the guy who thinks Ross cheated Ross Ross Perot. If
Paro cheated, then he did it badly. I'm talking about Ross Geller,
who's that on friends. He did cheat. They were on a break,
Brad. But a break isn't a break up. Enough with the semantics what
I don't get it and my hypothetical you're married, I don't even know what
you're arguing. Those are totally different things. I'm saying sleeping with a millionaire
is cheating, but Ross and Rachel on a break isn't cheating. But me
and my wife are okay with it hypothetical wife, thanks Cooper. Okay,
but Rachel wanted the break, Ross didn't, So you don't think that that's
cheating. But two mutual parties agreeing on a sugar daddy is they were on
a break? Hey? No, people hate friends? Now define people and
define hate. Yeah, who says they hate it? Twitter? That's the
younger generation being offended. PC culture sucks. I don't know. I like
it? You do, Yeah, I'm much more comfortable with a PC.
What, Cooper, are you thinking computers? I think you're thinking computers.
I just think Apple's overrated. Cooper, what do you think PC culture is
people who enjoy using Windows? Seriously? What those people who complain about PC
culture usually have Apple products? Is that true, Josh? I don't think
there's any scientific data backing that up. So all this time, when people
talked about PC culture on the news, you thought they were upset or arguing
for your right to use a personal computer. I couldn't believe there were so
many people against it, and you never wondered why that was. I thought
it was just good Apple marketing. And if someone was labeled to be two
PC, I thought that meant they had more than one who words it like
that. I don't know. I don't watch the news. I read Twitter.
People dropping shorten words all the time. The fact that you get your
news from Twitter is very and I mean very troubling. That's not the only
place I get my news. No, no where else read it. Jesus
Christ, you see this, Josh, the future of America right here.
You guys are the same age. Yeah, this is crazy. Right,
I'm super nervous. You want one? No, I'm okay right now.
I'm going to take off soon. Apparently toilet paper is like gold right now.
Honestly, I don't know what that's about. Are you stocked? Yeah?
Me and Josh weren't shopping a couple of weeks ago and got a deal
on toilet paper, so we're good. It should last us a while,
unless Josh decides to head up that Chinese place on fourth Chopstick Buffet. He
loves it, but it does a number on his stomach. You know,
I think it's so cute you two shop together. It's not like that.
Neither of us like shopping, so it forces us both to go, and
it's easier to split the expenses. There's not a lot of trust there.
Huh, I know him too well. He never cheated on you, right,
No, but he's bad with the money. That's the reason we're living
together. Speaking of living together, how sharing your abode with the laziest person
in saying Pete, it's a constant struggle. I'm thinking of presenting Josh with
an option whether or not to murder Cooper. No, I'm not there just
yet. Ever, since I found out Miss White was racist, I felt
like maybe we should try finding a new place to live. Really, you
think that's a bad idea. No, it just seems like more of something
I would do. Well, it's not just that with Cooper living here,
things have been a little cramped. I mean, we only live in half
a house. But it's nice and rent is cheap, right, it was
cheaper when I was living alone. Five hundred, that's all. Well.
Miss White liked me, said, I reminded her of her niece. But
you have to pay more now. Rent is double, now double because Josh
moved in. Well, when I first told Miss White about a friend moving
in, she said that she would only raise it a couple hundred, but
then that changed. That sucks, yeah, and all because Josh reminds her
of her ex husband. What about Cooper. I haven't even mentioned Cooper moving
in. She's seen him around obviously, but doesn't know anything more. I
can't afford him reminding her of someone else she despises. That's a good idea,
especially now tell me about it. Well, I mean, not much
has changed for you though, right. You still pay five hundred. Yeah,
Josh handles the other half, but if Cooper was in the mix,
then rent would go up, especially because Cooper wouldn't be able to afford his
portion. There's always a possibility that Cooper could remind her if someone she likes.
Can't take that chance. Hell, I would have never mentioned Josh if
I knew he'd look like a cheating, knit wit with a knack for hussies.
Jesus her words. Good idea of keeping Cooper away, Too bad.
I couldn't keep him further away, like out of the house exactly. I'm
very nervous about what's in store with COVID spreading. Yeah, can you believe
it? There's probably going to be a lockdown soon. I believe it.
I was surprised as he killed her here because Josh said that she was super
nervous about the virus. He thought she'd be staying into the whole thing blew
over. Cooper believes it, yet he keeps going out to a party.
I have not partied. You went to the beach the other day. There
were thousands there for spring break. Yeah, but I wore a mask.
You did? It was a hockey mask. You are a hockey mask,
Coop? What the hell? How does that help? It's scary. So
you were trying to scare the virus the way? No, just people.
Maybe I should clarify Cooper here is trying to become Internet famous. So he
started to create his own scare prank show. He was at the beach in
full Jason get up, jumping out from behind garbage cans. Garbage cans.
Yeah, I wanted to come out of the water. But I don't know
a snorkele? So what about Corona Cooper? It's fine, but I prefer
Miller Lite. I'm talking about the virus. I told you I was wearing
a mask. Hockey mask have holes? You idiot, Cooper. We're about
to go into lockdown the whole state of Florida. This is serious. So
maybe you shouldn't be hanging around large groups of people. Yeah, dummy.
By the way, stay away from me. Killy pulled out a cloth mask
and put it on. Do you think I have it? I feel fine.
That's not how it works. We need to get tested now. Yeah,
and I'm leaving. You still gonna come to movie night Anderson wants to,
but I don't know with Brad and now Cooper, and we'll get tested
beforehand. Okay, let me know. Damn it, Coop, what a
hockey mask. It's scary. Okay, Well, we're getting tested and then
you're gonna have to take a break from the prank videos. Come on,
I just got over one hundred views, Coop. We're about to go into
lockdown. No one's going to be outside anyway. That's true, but we
could still scare people in line to get tested. What I'll get my camera?
Oh my god? Sorry, but there was no more testing over by
the hospital or the mall. I'll try it again next week. Yeah,
we didn't have any luck Tuesday either. What are you talking about? I
got so many scares. Yeah, Coop, that was freaking embarrassing. You
almost got us kicked out of the car line. You're still on that prank
show stuff? Not anymore, Daisy won't let me do it now. I
don't want you around a bunch of people. What about you? Don't worry
about me. They're going down to a skeleton crew, and I think it's
only a matter of time before the lockdown happens. You really think so?
You don't? Other states are already in it. This ship is serious.
Josh came out of his room dressed for work. Please do not lecture me,
Josh what this is real? Yes? But I shall remain as centered
as possible, so that way I don't have to rely on the misgivings of
both CNN and Fox News, Like you don't watch Fox, so you're going
to rely on some YouTube scientists instead. You know, I expect this from
Kelly, but not you. Guys, speaking of the she Beast? Are
we doing movie night because I have a pick? Yeah, I'm hoping we'd
go into lockdown tomorrow so this can be my last shift. Seriously, it's
a skeleton crew. You know what that means, more work for the skeleton.
It's gonna be slow and easy, yeah, but Josh can only handle
hard and fast. Is that a gay joke or a I suck at sex
joke? Two Birds, One Stone? You know my friend tried to do
that one time. Have sex hard and fast kills two birds with one stone,
was it Josh when he decided to start an avian war? No,
my friend Cam. That's horrible, Coop. I don't know. Maybe the
birds deserved it. Sounds like someone still harboring some anger. Yes, at
sail, Josh, let that shit go. No, Josh is right,
they did deserve it. They were attacking Cam's dog. He threw a rock
at him, knocked him out of the sky, both of them. I
was surprised too, and normally I'd be mad, but they were hawks,
and Cam's dogs really cute. All Right, I gotta go. I'm already
gonna be late. Make sure to wear your mask. Sheep. Are you
really on that train? Nah? But I know it annoys all of you.
So you have a mask lax days. I bought a new one with
adjustable straps. I imagine Kelly won't come to movie night if all our phases
aren't properly dressed. And while normally I would joyously celebrate her absence, I'm
assuming movie night would be put on hold without her and Anderson and we can't
have that could still happen? They keep bringing up social distancing. I work
from home. How much more distance do I need to be? You're only
three feet away from me right now. That's not my fault. I was
standing here first. It's my house. Oh so I have to adjust based
on your position. Honestly, I don't even know why you're still here,
Brad, Josh is gone free booze. But okay, you're right. I
can take a hint. That wasn't a hint. I don't think I could
have been more blatant. Damn. Okay, I'm leaving. I'm leaving.
But days, don't cancel movie night. Okay, don't let Kelly's liberal ideology
dictate our future. You must have a really good pick for Friday. I
always have a good pick like me. No, Cooper, you don't,
and everyone knows you don't. We put up with your picks because we all
think your borderline borderline? What just borderline? I'll see you guys. What
does it mean by borderline? Don't worry about it. Hey, can I
really not go out right now? Listen, Cooper, I just don't think
it's wise to go where there's a lot of people. But Josh want work?
Yeah? Work? My YouTube channel is worked too. No, it's
not, huh, Cooper. Please, The last thing I want to do
is get sick right now, Me and Josh have to be around people in
order to pay the bills. And honestly, I think we should put a
hold on movie night for now. Really, I don't know. I'll talk
to Josh about it later. Fine, I appreciate it, And can you
do me one more favor? What's that? Can you get a real mask?
I have one? No, Jason, it's not Jason Myers. No,
okay, Daisy was about to enter a room but stopped. It's a
ghost face. You have a ghost face mask? Don't you want damn it?
Get a real mask? Cooper? Okay. It was Friday night.
All day I was trying to come up with new ideas since I couldn't do
my scarep rings for YouTube now. But I didn't know what to do.
I guess I could try streaming Call a Duty or Fortnite or something, but
I wonder if Josh would be okay with me using his computer multiple times a
day. I got it, Hey, Coop, Coop, you're not wearing
a mask? Are we supposed to? I had to order one online since
all the stores are out, and Daisy won't let me check out the Halloween
aile at Party City. Oh hey, guys, were we doing masks?
Kelly and Anderson are apparently Yeah, I guess you guys can do what you
want. What did you say? Kelly and Anderson climbed up the third row
of seats and remove their masks. I guess since they were far enough away
from us, they thought it was okay. They're better. Man and Cooper
were tested yesterday. What about Josh? They ran out when he went We
were tested and we're good. Really want to keep it that way, So
let's get this over with. Let's get this over with. It's movie night,
not a doctor's visit. But I want to avoid a doctor's visit.
I can't afford to get sick right now, I can, but Kelly won't
let me. You really want to miss work? Of course, it's work.
If we weren't together, I'd be willing to make out with patient zero.
That's a long way to travel to get two weeks off. Yeah,
why not just hop on a cruise ship or make out with a bat.
Hey, wait, before you get the door, anybody want to put money
on whether Brad mentions the mainstream media tonight in what capacity? I don't know,
in a negative light? Interesting, Cooper, lock the door real quick,
quietly, I carefully and quietly turn the lock. So what's the bat?
I bet before the movie starts, Brad mentions the mainstream media. That's
too easy. I'll give two to one odds. That's not enough. Shouldn't
someone get the door in a minute, Kelly, he just has to mention
the mainstream media in a negative light. Well, if he mentions the media,
I'm sure it'll be in a negative light. So let's say he just
has to say the words mainstream media before we start the movie. Fine with
me. But then you have to do three to one odds. Fine,
okay, I'll do it. How much you want to wager twenty bucks?
I'm good with that. Really, there's a purse on sale at tgmax forty
dollars, ben eyeing it. Anyone else went in, you don't need anyone
else to come in. If you win against Daisy and Josh, that's already
forty. Yeah, but there's a matching wallet. I could get that too.
All he has to do is say media, mainstream media. So Box
or MSNBC or news doesn't count. No mainstream media. Nah, I'm out.
I'm definitely in. He already shared his opinions earlier this week. Yeah,
but I'm here still three to one, I'm down sixty bucks. That's
enough to buy last of us two. You have enough money for this,
babe. You're putting up one hundred dollars. If you were good at math,
you would realize I'm putting up one twenty. That's a lot of dough
in this time of uncertainty. I'm not gonna lose. Look at the confidence
on Kelly. Kelly. You can't I get him on. I won't.
I won't, but you can't fault me for my mere presence. He starts
something, I'll finish it. Can I come in on this? Do you
have twenty dollars? Cooper? Yeah? On you no, but I can
get it. Money has to be tonight? Yeah, I interest you in
a watch? Is Collateral? Hey? That's my watch? I'm not a
bookie, Okay, Me and Josh are both in twenty bucks. Says he
doesn't say mainstream media before the movie tonight three to one odds and no,
Coake saying deal, all right, let him in, Coop. What in
the actual fuck? Sorry? We were talking. Well, damn, don't
let me intrude. Thought you guys were putting on hazmat suits and did someone
lock the door? I swear I heard someone lock the door. What movie
are we watching? Brad? Yeah, you never replied on the group chat
because I've been thinking, you know how we have that rule that we have
to pick a movie that at least one person hasn't seen. I think we
should change it. I think the movie night should be more of a surprise.
Plus going to the group chat and asking if everybody's seen a movie takes
a long time, especially since Josh never replies in a timely manner. I
always read it and then forget to respond. I think it's early dementia.
Well, I think we should drop all that. If it's your night to
pick a movie, pick whatever you want. Let all other watchers be damned.
So what do you guys think? I don't think any of us have
a problem with that, really, Brad, you were the one who came
up with the rule in the first place. I did, huh, I
wonder why that was. You said you hated surprises. That can't be true.
It is when it's Cooper's night to pick. Oh yeah, now I'm
remembering. That's not fair. I have good movie choices. I think you
formed the rules so that you had time to prepare for Cooper's nights. Yeah,
you're right. Sometimes I would even fast twenty four hours beforehand, like
you were going into surgery. Well, Cooper's picks literally make me sick.
You ever think that maybe you take this shit a little too seriously, says
the person who's hiding in the corner. Are you sure that's ten feet six
six? The preferred distance is six? Well, my preferred distance from you
would be one hundred maybe even two hundred feet, Really, Daisy said,
You asked if me and Anderson were coming, Not because I enjoy your company,
because I knew Daisy would cancel the whole thing if you guys didn't show
up. What's the fucking movie, Brad? Contagion? Brad held up The
Blue Contagion. Don't you think that hits a little too close to home?
COVID is worldwide and the world is home. I thought being topical put a
nice spin on movie night. And you say I pick weird movies, not
weird bad. You pick bad movies. Uh? The Happening, The Marine,
Blood Rain, Meet the Spartans, Dark Tide, the remake of The
Fog Eight Legged Freaks. Yeah. Well, while that is hardly a good
movie, I will say at least it was a step in the right direction.
I didn't know you were Soderberg fan, Brad. The guy makes some
kick ass films. I don't like the way his films look. You don't
like the direction or cinematography. No, I don't like the color schemes.
You like black and white? No, but his color prott is so limited
limited. Each film has a signature style. No, each film has a
signature hue, usually falling into a shade of either blue or yellow, although
it's mostly a variation of yellow. So he's taken from the book of Fincher.
Wait which came first, Fincher or Soderberg? The egg? I agree
with Josh. We watched side effects not too long ago, and it was
like the movie of a shot behind a church window. Have you ever heard
of a little movie called Solaris? Well, of course there are exceptions to
the rule. It's not a rule, it's a style. It's over saturation,
that's over exaggeration. I've seen Contagion. It's mostly yellow and green like
pea soup, but more yellow. I would say it was even a bit
lighter, kind of like a for Scythia blossom. For scythia that might have
been on purpose. I don't get the reference. You see contagion. No,
well, there you go. What the heck is for scythia blossom?
It's a color? How do you know of it? It's the color of
the per se one. I don't get what the problem is. I've never
heard any complaints when we watch Fincher because Fincher's movies are all darker in tone
to a blue black tint works for them. He uses hues to accentuate the
subject matter. He uses monochromatic schemes. What does monochromatic mean? It means
a variation of one color like red? Was that an example? No,
it was a color. Brad Fincher uses color to accentuate a subject or character.
His monochromatic scheme, as Daisy put it, allows for him to convey
a world in which his crazy characters can thrive. He also uses discordant colors
to break up the schames. What does discordant mean? It means incongruous?
Oh right, Daisy, Yeah, what does incongorus mean? It means jarring,
like jam, are we doing word association right now? Or I think
you're being totally unfair to Soderberg's work. Soderberg works on different genres but sticks
with the same hues. It doesn't always Fitch, especially with something like Aaron
Brockovich. And what kind of hue should he have used for that? I
don't know, but nothing like for Scythia Blossom? What about Grant Grant,
that's my favorite hue? Okay, well, I think Fincher could learn a
thing or two from Soderberg when it comes to color. Yes, color me
surprised. What does that mean? It's an expression? I know that,
Kelly, But why are you so surprised? Because you always have to go
against the grain, the film grain. You always have to be different.
Yeah, sometimes I think you're not necessarily a film snob, but just an
asshole. That's not true. I don't know, man, you are always
the one that has to have a different point of view. I know what
this is about what COVID? Oh, Jesus tell me I'm wrong. You're
all mad because of my views on COVID. Daisy and Josh looked at each
other. I think they were worried that Brad might mention the mainstream media.
No, no, no, we are talking about film, but it's the
subtext. I just want you to know I could find a middle ground between
believing the virus is dangerous and not wanting to turn my life upside down.
We're really talking about film, Brad. Uh huh. Sure you're all looking
at me like I'm Jude Law, a pedal and fake medicine, but I'm
not. I'm more of a Damon, cautiously careful but not blind. Was
that Damon's character treat I feel like you're projecting, you know, Brad.
For every Damon right now, there seems to be ten Jew laws and you're
a law. Shouldn't the comparison be winslets to laws? Either? Or why?
Because I do my own research, That's exactly why? Or is it
because I'm not a sheep of the mainstream Brad? Hey, you can't do
that. What that's cheating? What the hell is going on right now?
Nothing? I just wanted to keep you on track. No, you wanted
to derail the conversation. No, he was getting sidetracked more like railroaded.
What's with all the train phrases? Should we get back on track. I'd
like to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Yes, I
don't get it. Is there a train in this movie or no, there
isn't. I don't know what that was. That was me letting some people
here know that they are not allowed to interfere with what. Don't worry about
it, Brad, I know this has to do with me, and I
know it has to do with this novel virus. They what a book about
it? Cooper, I'm talking about covidd thinks he knows everything. No,
but I'm doing my own research on the matter. How can you be a
fan of contagion and still think that way? You make fun of us for
social distancing and that's literally in the movie, along with washing hands and quarantining.
Hey I'm not saying don't do that stuff. Wash your hands. They
believe it not only travels through the air, but through famites as well,
famites objects that can carry infection, so basically through touch. Ah, there's
that winslet. I just don't think the CDC knows enough yet they can't even
calculate the spreadability, says who says me, Yeah, because you know how
to calculate for infection spread Maybe Brad's just uninformed. Are not? Are two?
No? I'm answering Kelly, are not? They are not? As
how scientists determine the spreadability of an infectious disease, But the CDC keeps changing
their information. They don't know. You know what I think? What I
think? You watched Contagion and now you think you know more than scientists.
Hey, it's pretty accurate. The movie is good, you just wait and
see. Not only that, but it has an awesome cast, great direction,
and a kick ass score. Honestly, the electronic SyncE score is one
of my favorites of all time. Is it as good as it follows?
It's almost as good as Thief? Thief? That heist movie is con Gon
Thief as a Star Trek film. Thief is a Michael Mann film. I
meant James con Coupe, not Ricardo montalban I've never seen Thief. You owe
it to yourself. For the soundtrack alone. It's Tangerine Dream, so you
know it's good. I bought the vinyl and sometimes I just keep it on
repeat. How do you keep vinyl on repeat? You know what I mean?
I moved the needleback, damn, and I probably shouldn't say this,
but screw it. It's the only soundtrack I've literally masturbated to. Gross.
How do you masturbate to a soundtrack? Trust me? I didn't think it
was possible either, but it kind of just happened. The problem is now,
whenever I watch the movie, I get a heart on. Well,
let's make a mental note to keep thief off the watch list for a movie
night. Mock me all you want, but you owe it to yourself to
light a few candles, put on some tangerine dream and flick that bean.
Oh God, Brad, keep my bean out of your filthy mouth. Trust
me, that is not a problem. Canna we start this movie now.
Kelly and Anderson put their masks back on before going into the kitchen. Bradward
of the bathroom while we all got set. You know, I'm ashamed of
you two. Kelly was talking to Daisy and Josh. First, Josh media
blocks me, which was a for sure win, and now you too,
rushed to get the movie started. In all fairness, I was just tired
of hearing about your being fair enough. But two can play at that game.
You can't egg him on. I'm telling you, guys, I don't
need to. We're about to start the movie. You're really not worried?
No, in fact, all up it to thirty if you want why?
I really want the matching wallet. The movies about to start. Still not
worried? Fine with me. Sure we all grabbed snacks and drinks and then
took our seats. You're all in for an eye opening experience. An eye
opening experience with a bland color palette. Shut it. Yeah, guys,
I really want to see this movie. Go ahead and start it. Yeah,
now, Brad, wait, I have one more thing to say.
Oh no, this is going to show you what a real virus outbreak is
like. Is at it? Yeah? Both Josh and Daisy seemed to relax
as Brad grabbed the controller. Then maybe all y'all will stop listening to the
mainstream media where it is? What what? What? See? Honey?
I got a new purse and a wallet. Congratulations, babe, Seriously,
what is going on? Just forget it? Yeah, Brad, just start
the movie. Movie Night written by Robert m Lamb, edited by Robert M.
