kirkle batzer Ah and then Marcaster Domas I'm the Now take it down, Taylor
Field. Very nice, guys. I'll say I'm trussed now I just said
mister Green. But if you haven't guessed, and I guess you haven't seen
the movie. It's something like Taylor's quote. You might not know it,
or if you've only seen it once or twice. But as usual for the
holiday seasons or stuff like that, whenever it comes up, we have an
idea for a patroon poll and they get to throw some suggestions and the patrons
picked our patron producers, so thank everyone on that tier. They get to
pick the movie and lo and behold, Maddie Segs's movie The Night Before won
the poll. So that's what we're doing. We're doing The Night Before.
I should have looked at date, Paul. I think it's like twenty fourteen
somewhere in there. Yeah, it is a Christmas movie if you've not seen
it, and it's seth Rogan just Lovett Anthony mackiew It definitely suggest if you
haven't to go watch that come back, but maybe you're gonna wait for overalls
to hear Hey, is it worth my time? Because I know a lot.
I feel like a lot of people have seen it retroactively because I know
I don't think it did the grays of the box office. But it's a

this dyl Muss. The night before, had you ever seen it before?
And what are your thoughts about it at this current day? December nineteenth,
eight, eighteen twenty twenty two. The night before tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah,
I think I've seen this like two or three times now in my life,
and I think I kind of forget about it because it has just like
the most generic, forgettable name, and that, honestly might be reasonable why
you're saying to do well the Boss Box Office, because I think I like,
here's here's what happened. I watched this movie on Friday night, okay,
and we were meeting on Saturday or Sunday for a podcast, and I
was like, oh shit, what is our what is our movie for the
retro Travis? You said a night before. I'm like, okay, I'll
see if I have time for that. I had forgot the name of the
movie like the day after we had watched it, just by happens thence without
knowing that I was gonna be talking about on the podcast in like three days.
So if anything, that's a sign about you know, my that's my
review of the title. Not a great title. But so you guys watched
it on your own before realizing it was and then yeah, I asked you
about it the next day and just totally blanked on the back that that was
the name of the movie. But aside from that, I I love this
movie. I think it's a lot of fun. It's it's hilarious. Some
goofy stuff there in terms of like I don't know, like the fantasy element
that's just thrown on one character is particularly interesting, but I don't know.
It just like laughs the whole way through. It's caught that you know,
classic Christmas movie vibe of just being like kind of happy in the end and
the classic seth robe and stuff of just all the drugs and whatnot. So
I know it's it's great. I mean, if anyone hasn't watched yet,
I think it's a good classic Christmas movie. If I can ever remember the
name, I'm sure I'll watch it on the a yearly basis. At this
point it's a good one radar two. So people are wondering if you watch
the families highly recommend you don't, like, depends what great age group of
families, but family with kids maybe not. You know, there's there's a
couple of questionable moments and stuff like that. A couple you'd watch this with
your parents or you're in loss. Yeah I've seen this with my parents.
Yeah it's like, yeah, I'm not fucking twelve year old, like,
oh, my god, there's having sex on o't look like you know,
says the guy who's watching the home like lander milk scene with his mom and
things like that. You know, well, you're playing call of duty with
your mom with travels in the room. That's dangerous. We're yeah, worse
experience in my life all one night swearing, be my whole self and then
just say oh yeah, good night mom. She's just sitting there the whole
time while I was just going off of all the traps. Guy's not coming
to your wedding, right. That happened for me. Recently, I was
watching this Robert Pattison movie Travis. You probably know what it is, where
they're like in a space space station. Do you know this one? Yeah?
I was watching that with my mom and dad, and oh my god.
That was a huge regret because it's like fine for the first half an
hour, but that movie is fucked up. Did not recommend it. We
turned it off, and I I mean I wanted to turn it off when
those first couple of scenes happened, and I'm like, this, this was
a huge mistake. I think it's interesting, but in that environment, do
I want to watch it with my mom? That's not not a good vibe
at all. We'll see. I feel like this is like, yeah,
there's some like racy whatever since but they're all like in fun manners and stuff
like that. There quick that one has like long extended scenes that are very
disturbing. Yeah, maybe one time we'll do high life on the podcast.
But yeah, Kirka Patzer, you watched this with your parents? Did you
like it? Then? Did your parents like it? Do you like it
now? Yeah? My parents told I this one slipped through the cracks for
me when it came out in theaters. I don't know what year that happened
on, but my parents saw this before me and then they're like, oh,
you gotta watch this movie. And it was one of those It must
have been the same effect that Dylan was describing, because I remember like seeing
the trailers for this and thinking that it was amazing twenty fifteen. There you
go. So I love you know, I love seth Rogen and like those
types of movies, So I like, I knew it would have been up
my alley, and then I just completely forgot about it, and then they
told me about it, and then sure enough we watched the trailer. I'm
like Oh my god, this is the movie that I just completely forgot about,
and then sure enough we watched it together, and Yeah, I laughed
so hard that first time, like one of those that like really memorable,
like belly laughs were like borderliney can't eave. Like I remember the first time
I watched Horrible Bosses. I had moments like that too, where like I
just I couldn't believe what was going on. And this movie is just full
lutted with it. Really awesome cast members too, Like there's a lot of
people in there that I just completely forgot about, but when they pop in,
it's a great time. This is definitely one of my favorite Michael Shannon
rolls of all time. Yeah, he is so fantastic. I'm so excited
to talk about him. And yeah, like I just just the craziness that
goes on to this. It's it's a nice change of flavor. I guess
you could call it for like a Christmas movie. I've been watching those this
last weekend, watch The Grinch last night, and then slicing this one in
there today. It was Rnch Jim Carrey one. Okay, I know it's
crazy animated one, don't worry about it. It's good. It's good.
It's good if it was on Netflix or something that it's really cute, good
animation. But I don't know it. It's cute if you're a kid,
I think, and I know, I know you're a kid. Still kirk
him, but you know, I just like I think it's just it's it's
fine. It's a fine which animated one. There's anime and there's a hand
drawn cartoon. Taylor, Oh that's the rodoscoping. Actually, yeah, learn
about that this year. But check out our Lord of the Rings rat shoals
Man. Yeah, but finished off my thoughts. This is still just a
great movie. I think. I still like the laughs, don't really like
get dry for me, Like the more I see this movie. It's not
a movie that I watch multiple times in a year, but every time I
watch it like it. It definitely gets me laughing. And uh, yeah,
I love this movie. So there you go. I was gonna say,
you almost can't just because it's Christmas. You watched her this month.
Yeah, you know that gets on the shelf for a year and then you
come back to and stuff. So I feel like this one's so ridiculous and
like late night comedy esque I could just see my cel phone it on.
But there is so many in that genre already that I don't watch regularly,
So I am I just spice spice slice one of those in there, Taylor,
how is this experiencing? So with your mom? It was great?
It's like Prana three D all over again. Yeah. This, uh,
this one kind of always kind of just like sweeps into the radar for me
because I would have seen it not in theaters, I know that much.
I don't know when I would have seen it seen initially. It must have
been streaming at some point. I just popped it on and watched it.
But it's one that kind of is not a like traditional watch every year,
but it's one that just kind of may pop up every like two years or
something like that. It's like, okay, like I'm really I am enjoyed.
Hates it like the Guardian special. I don't think she's ever watched that
trash. I don't think she's ever seen it. I'll have to have her
like watch it and get her thoughts on it. Actually, but but wait
a second, you watched it this time, and then you didn't think,
oh, Madison, let's watch it together. You haven't seen it before.
Well, it's just one of those films that just kind of, like I
said, it goes under the radar. I don't think to like, oh
I gotta watch the night before or anything like that. That's not you watched
this for the podcast, right, Yeah, Why didn't you plan to like
watch it with her when you're gonna rewatch it? Oh, because she's working.
Oh okay, she's working at the mill, Travis. She's working hard
days, long hours, you know, comes off just she's actually now yeah,
you know, like usual when we have retro talked to him like,
oh, hey, like I know we're doing john Wick next year. I
spoiled one. Sorry, there you go. You gotta scoop And I'm like,
oh you watch those Yeah, I have seen those wors. I'm like
great, I try to coordinate them. But you know, I was just
watching all this ship. What do you go to work? I gotta pick
my bas I gotta pick my baths. Otherwise I wouldn't have watched it in
times. But you made to watch Guardians, but she didn't enjoy. You
know, it's a weird spectrum going on. Guardians special, Oh the halliway
special. I was like Guardians what like Rise the Christmas Guardians movie, Rise
the Guardians, watch beat you over for watching watching this again? That one
that one just timed out really really well. My voice kind of like it
there, good tim Yeah, but no, this movie is just it does
crack me up. Well, there's probably a majority of my laps for just
with Seth Rogan a lot of the other things that kind of go off and
happened. I'm not finding like super super humorous Michael Shannon though, that's the
exception because it's like innocent humor and he really does hit the lay all on
the head with that. But just Seth Rogan is like one hundred percent of
the win here for me in this movie. He's so fucking funny. Holy
shit. Uh yeah, hundred dollars, get the fucking my well. So
that so none of the Anthey mac here Joseph Gordon loved stuff does it for
you? I just I would Joseph Gordon Levitt. Levitt's character, I know
it's don't arrow, Uh where are we going with this his character. I
just feel like I'm not really laughing at too much of the humorous stuff that
he's trying to instinue it. I just kind of feel sorry for his character
throw most of the movies he's supposed to well I know, I know,
but yeah, but that's I feel like that's why, like Seth Rogan is
just given the spot like so much with his humorous antics. I feel like
it kind of pulls the spotlight away from Mackie and Levett's characters a little bit
because Mackie's just like I feel like, Okay, he's doing his own thing,
but he's just kind of like rambunctious and just you know, Instagram star
kind of a thing. But yeah, as we're talking, I'm literally just
laughing because like I love this movie and they just think about like moments out
of this and yeah, I saw in Peter this name you like, there's
just so many. That's why I think you're red will get into it.
The specific went now, But yeah I saw some theorist of me and Emily
are big into these anything. I don't know what their name is because like
back in the day, like The rat Pack used to be like any movies
that had like Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughan, own Wilson, Luke Wilson,
will Fair like, it was like okay, they there was that error,
right, of like from two thousand and three to twenty ten's like they're always
doing movies together, and that was this where I feel like in two thousand
and what probably six, like when Knocked Up, super Bad happened. You
have the string of all these people doing these movies together. And it's funny
because not too many of those characters in that and this feels like one of
those last type of Rogan ones to do that. Like, obviously we'll get
to with Franco, and I like all this stuff I have to praise with
Franco has nothing to do with him. Obviously he's had some shit, bad
stuff happened in his life. That's more just the writing of the character.
So I'll say that for later, but like there after this, like I
feel like this was kind of the ending of that era, and even like
Levitt like he was in that group because they did fifty to fifty. So
love I love everything from Knocked Up to this. This is the end.
In Varying Degrees, I just love that. Sorry think of scenes of the
movie. Sorry, Oh yeah, I love the group various degrees and whatnot.
And yeah, I'm a big Christmas guy. I love Christmas movies and
Yeah, this for me is like I saw it in the theaters, Emily
loved it, and it's a yearly watch. I never not watch. I
think I always put Home on one and two is my top two, but
this is like my third fair Christmas movie and sometimes maybe my favorite. Yeah,
I just I love because I think the dynamic that they hit really well.
Obviously it's different with Levitt and Seth Rogan because they knew each other for
years, They've done multiple movies. With Mackie, it was interesting because he
had never done that. I don't know how maybe those interviews, how they
kind of got together. They just thought he was good for the role,
but still him being newer, it just legitimately feels like they're friends. And
that's where it's like with that Super Bad Knocked Up crew, It's like,
yeah, that's like when we're gonna make a movie or do stuff. It's
like they all were friends, you know, So it's not like them being
friends. It's like, okay, well that you kind of get that,
but like Mackie, you never did anything else, and so the fact that
they because I remember when I saw it and I was like, hey,
leve it makes sense. Rogan makes sense. With Mackie. He's not really
in this group of films that they've done before, and I guess I was
just going in and thinking it was gonna be kind of something off with it.
But they just feel like legitimately all best friends. They feel like a
unit. There's just back and forth that they're having, whether it's the writing
or they're active with another. It doesn't feel like movie friendship. It feels
like stuff you would say to your friends and everything like that. And Yeah,
I just like I always have this like it's it came out of time
like twenty fifteen, like two years later I had Gwen. It feels very
similar to like a decade like seven years ago of me Leam and Kyle's dynamic
of what we used to get up to and stuff like that. I'd be
minus the drugs. Emily gave him a package of drugs. But I just
remember that movie coming out of that time too, where it's like, yeah,
everyone's doing their different things. I think that's a great thing as a
Christmas movie, but also just like that story of friendship of like okay,
it's also okay, things are gonna change, but it's also like you don't
have to you know, like my favorite thing is to keep going to Joe
screen like, oh, it's your last Christmas, Like, well, it's
not his last Christmas. Like multiple characters say it's your last Christmas and it's
so depressing. It's like, I think it's a good showing of like,
Okay, things are gonna change, but you can evolve your life and friendships
that still keep together. Like Rogan's like, oh, be an adults hard
and you don't have time for anything, and that is true. Like there's
so much stuff, but I feel like that aspect of yeah, sure there's
fantasy and there's a bunch of weird stuff in there, but I that I
wasn't expecting either when I saw the first time, I expected no, like
fantasy, like really weird stuff, And I like that. I think that
fits in like a Christmas type of movie because other than this is the end,
that's not really their shtick, right, They're always very like realistic scenarios
or like bigger scenarios like obviously maybe Pineapple expressesn't realistic, but you know what
I mean, it happens in a real world. So I liked that they
lean the fantastic Little Element and yeah, tech what everyone says here Michael Shannon
is just because I feel like i'd have to look but up into this career.
Up to this point of his career, I feel like he done nothing
but serious stuff. And I remember, I think they kept it pretty hush
hush what his role was. So I just remember being in the theater and
Michael Shannon popping up and just like the lines that make them say what he
does. And now he's done more comedy, but just like he's such a
talented do but he just delivers like a hundred percent, Like you know what,
screw the givers, Facebook fans. They like the fact that they never
vote him in and never vote them through and stuff like that. He's a
golden character and he's just like one of those side characters I always think and
laugh about. So yeah, I loved it back then, love it now.
It's a great time, great yearly Christmas. Watch so thing we want
to get into or say before we here for sad breaking overalls. I'm just
I'm just looking through Michael Shannon's uh to be. I feel like this might
be like the first movie I ever saw him. I don't know if I
can see like I guess maybe man of Steel. But I don't even know
if I had, really, I don't know when i'd watched that Nimes out
he was in there. Yeah, but that would have been like years after
this. Oh yeah, I guess sorry, right, yeah, that was
like two years ago. Now, I bet you probably saw him when he
was like younger, when he's like in some side like roll, like he's
just probably some bottom. I'm scrolling here and like, I don't know if
I've seen any of these, like maybe maybe not. Yeah, and there's
a guy too, like it's like a good story because like he's gone pretty
popular, like more when in his later years and whatnot. So yeah,
and hey, talking about Matt Steel. He's coming back is odd next year
for Flash. So there you go. You got. I'm sure he is,
Yeah, just like everyone else who's coming No, he no, he
actually he's filmed. This is how many people have filmed stuff in the Cairn
Travis. It's not happening. It's not happening. You will be No,
he is the he's legit. There's an article that like two people got cut
out of the Flash. Yeah, already nobody in the movie. Yeah right,
yeah, I'll believe it when I see it. There you go,
We'll be seeing are you even seeing flash? Are you? You'll never believe
it? I want a trailer, you know, yeah, there, I'll
believe it. Yeah, well, there you goes we're gonna take for Saturday.
Then we're gonna dive deep in this movie. Wheat right back and we're
back. So I don't know where do we wanna? Where do we want
to start? Here? Want a favorite moments characters? Anyone have add I
got? I got a favorite moment? Okay, and this one I totally
I totally forgot about. But it's just catches you off guard. When they
get into the limo of the Red Bull limo and Mackie is like, yeah,
she stole my weed. In the driver the driver is like, she
stole your weed. She stole your weed, like only squeezed the wheel,
and he's like getting all pissed off and jacked. Though. I completely forgot
about that line, I one call me off guard. I always forget about
this too, because I mean, that's Nathan Fielder. He's like, you
know, doing Nathan for you the rehearsal. He's like just one of my
favorite dudes in comedy, so that he for him to have this like random
little cameo roll, and it's so minor of a role that I always forget
he's in it. So whenever I rewatch it, it's just a nice surprise
to see me there, because you're right, he's hilarious. After that,
he when he crashes the limo and he's like, oh, I fucked up.
I'm sorry. So he was like you Taylor and dun the water and
oh yeah, absolutely, Oh that was just funny. You guys should watch
Nathan for you. He's the best I want to at some point, everyone
has good things about you. Never heard are you seriously? Or heard of
it? Every at least every six months, I hear down the least in
one year out the other, but rehearsals his new show check that out.
That's this year, So it's modern with him. I always like, I
watched this year, but I always forget about the Red Bull Driver. So
because he's just like a right like because at first it starts like he's kind
of you feel like they're gonna do the joke where someone's gonna call himut and
tell him to stop listening, because it just starts with him just like listening,
and he's giving like little advice and stuff like that, but no one
really ever calls him out. And yeah, I love everything about like the
fake Anthony Mackie sort of character. Like I love every chance he gets.
He's on social media with the homeless people, and I just love there's one
cut when he's talking. I think it is when he'saked about the Homeless movie.
He's saying about oh, chriss about giving all this stuff and everything like
that, and then Seth Rogan's just over his shoulders something about like I got
to the cock and he's like, oh peace, and like they's just like
and I feel like what I like about this movie is the jokes. There's
moments of levity, but like it's light, but there are like the comedic
talking with the friends, but also just like i'd say serious, but there
are serious moments as far as just like you know, character PROGRESSI stuff.
It doesn't feel like it's always a mile minute joke. That feels like if
there is jokes all around, they're like little things in the background. But
I feel like he can go a stretch of five to ten minutes and the
characters interacting talking about stuff, maybe even arguing and stuff like that. So
I think That's why I like it never feels overbearing the jokes, it's always
perfectly placed with this film. It's layered really well with like the just the
heartwarming moments of Christmas, and like I feel like a lot of that is
kind of emphasized like once you get into like the later half of the film.
But like that's just what makes this movie so special, is like I
could totally just take this for the late night comedy nests and just the ridiculous
humor, because that's that's totally my type of comedy movies. But then it
like catches you by surprise when they have when he's with mister Green on the
roof and he just smokes that like super weed or whatever, and it just
takes them back to like the moment when these like three misfits just like come
together and they like support their buddy and you know they're just like being really
good friends and like just being like having that spirit of Christmas. So it's
just something that I think boosts this movie so much more than like it could
have been already of just just one of those goofy humor type movies. But
yeah, it's very well just spliced in with the humor and the serious stuff.
It kind of happened too with with I guess Chris is Anthony Mackie's characters
name and his mom, and that's kind of like this subplot thing where he,
you know, doesn't want to spend time with her. He's embarrassed or
he thinks he's just gonna get shown around and stuff like that. And I
love that they're going back to play in sixty four. That's you know,
very uh you know, sticks true with me. But I think that becomes
just kind of a wholesome Christmas moment too, where at the end of the
movie she's there at dinner with them and like that relationships all patched up.
But like, yeah, you're right, that's like that does not need to
be there at all, but it just it just adds a little a little
extra spice in there. So I like there's a good amount of layers there.
M fuck that park, it's got crackheads and stuff like that. I
think that's why I like too where it's not I think lots of movies do
this where you have the main character, and maybe it's because all them were
stars at this point. Even though Makie, like, I feel like Mackie.
I liked him We're Soldier, but this was the first time I like,
really really enjoyed him, and I think that got me to enjoy Mackie
in MSUE and other stuff down the line. I guess it was kind of
this in Paining game, but because I remember when a soldiers think he's flying,
But I think the pause of what they do is you have Joseph Gore
Levitt, he's the main character, but then like you guys were talking about
with the mom moment or even like Tay, I mean sure earlier obviously with
Seth Rogan and the Jugs, but it's more about the kid. They all
have different plot lines going on, and I get that's the point in the
story of oh, well they're getting busy, but also just feel like they're
semi fleshed out or to the same degree. It's not just okay, main
characters whole plot, and then you have your side friends that have some stuff
going on, but really it's always about you know, Joseph gordn Love,
but it's not It's like it does feel like a three hand or it does
feel like it's like the lead in a sense, but just just the right
amount you know, not too much. So yeah, I really appreciate that
as let's see, look at the poster and it's just he's right afore big
star David right in the front. Yeah. I didn't realize this to seither
until I was just looking it up on IMDb. But I love fifty to
fifty as well. I that's a movie I've revisited a few times. I
didn't realize that it's the same director between those, which makes sense, you
know, likes that pairing. But I love that jose and Gordon Lovett seth
Rogen combo there. Great duo for sure. Oh yeah, really underrated And
I hope that that's what I was saying. Am I hope in like ten
fifteen years we get another This is the end type of movie where you bring
them back, go together most of them, because I feel like now they've
all gone off and they're doing their set, Like when was the last time
any of these hats did these movies together? You know? And I get
that's the point because you want to break off and have these careers. But
I hope there's some sort of reunion of sorts and endgame and open up the
portals all the secrets characters come by. Yeah, yeah, I got the
Rogan crew and stuff like that. You know, everyone wants to be a
thing. I hope that well. I feel like we're even talking about this
recently with Joseph Gordon Levitt. I forget what podcast was on, but just
like, where's he been late? Just we haven't seen anything. He's kind
of behind the camera a lot these days. And even once again going overund
iim to be looking at Seth Rogan. I feel like he's doing a lot
of producing and stuff too, So I don't even know, like what the
last movie he kind of starred in was, and maybe he's been a bit
here. I think it was like right, like that show was producer?
Is he in that as well as uh yeah, yeah yeah, oh he
was just in Oh that's he was in The Fableman's right. He played Seems
Spier's uncle. It was a really weird like it like worked, but it
like it didn't exactly work for me. Like I said, I think Seth
Rogan he has He's not kind of like Jonah Hill. I think Seth Rogan
kind of has a bar of serious acting. I don't think he can ever
get too far past that. And I think this is like a good amount
of stuff. So yeah, Taylor, what where do you want to go?
What do you want to talk about? You? I don't keep talking
about Seth Rogen here. You know, he's he has baby on the way.
He might not be exactly prepared for it. He's the rock, Yeah,
the rock. Yeah. His The stereotypes are what gets me because I'm
a man that I appreciate stereotypes, and I get like this morning, I
appreciate stereotypes. I think, like, really funny you mentioned that you mentioned
this in our last recording. I think it was after nine that Murder Mystery
with will Er Natt and that had like Jason Bavian and the Christmas one,
and there was like there's a very big Canadian stereotype that they did in there,
and I fucking lost it. And I just so when he's just doing
all these like stereotypical things, like I'm trying not to sound like rude,
he's just tailor. I'm not, I'm not touching that, but they're just
like he he's intentionally like the script is playing off of like just these stereotypes
in a very humorous, lighthearted way. And Seth Broken's just absolutely the slang
it with these stereotypes and it's just he just kills me in this movie.
And when he starts doing the drugs, it's just up in the ante when
he's bleeding in people's martinis, or he's just you know, going around doing
fucked up shit, tripping out. And especially I know like this is probably
like the Ace and the holes when he's in church and then my mask baby's
like, fuck, he had it on the baby's mouth. That's like something
that I can that we forgot about some when had happened. It just caught
me off guard. I think my moment of that is when he sees Jesus
and she's like, who's what he's like and he does like the hands of
all the Judaism and Jewish chokes like completely work for me here. Like I
think they are just like on point of not like it's like what they are
playing into, but it's not. I think it's all innocent or like what
people use the stereotypes humor. Like I like when he's like, oh,
yeah, they're gonna think I did it. She's like, yeah, you're
gonna fucking star David and so like. But like Mike Greshandel, I love
when they tie it back. I think this is maybe the one other than
Michael Shannon. The point I laughed the most is when they're at the Nutcracker
ball and he stabs the quarterback backs and you just had this one by Sanchez
says that he can't said I forgot the word. He yeah, it's like
it's happening again. It's yeah. So that all that stuff fucking got me
laughing so hard. I honestly, I think like the Rogan stuff. There's
other there's other parts. I was Billy laughing for sure, but the Rogan
stuff, I my god, they got me got me going so hard.
I think the first time even for me, was when he's like the drugs
are really hitting them and like they're in like that first karaoke bar. It's
when they he like sees Sarah like switches the phone and he's just like they're
all talking to him. He's just like, are you guys all right?
The lights in here just kind of like they're really intense, and he's just
totally freaking out. And then he has to go to the bathroom and he's
just doing lines of lines of coke and it's just going further and further down
This rabbit hole and he's again, this is where it's just he's like climax
on the freaking out of like the baby thing and all of that stuff.
My god, it it that had me laughing, and it like it's in
such like a short amount of time that I never had like a chance to
recover anmalstead of pause that I was laughing so hard. I forgot the other
scene too, when he has to go out and get the wheat from Michael
Shannon's character mister Green, and Green is like, okay, here's you know,
there's this wheet. It'll show you like the future. And they go
into the future and Michael Shan's like, I'm gonna go get a drink,
maybe a dance, And then Saithrow goes and sees his wife and he sits
down. It's like, well, yeah, she's pretty good her daughter and
he's like, what the fuck turn shad and he thumbs up. Oh my
god. And I think that's like a it. I think what they do
is they take that trope because I think you've seen that many times in a
movie, right, like the dad not ready to be a dad and stuff
like that, But they just turn it up to one hundred and stuff like
that. I'magine for most of these Jugs stuff Rogan has actually tried, so
they think there's like a genuine like kind of feeling there. And I also
really like it because way back in they Fineapple Express, they actually wrote him
to be Saul, like he was supposed to be in Franco's role, but
they switched it. And I like that because I feel like this is his
kind of rendition of not exactly because Saul, like he's very cool, like
lever killed, but like he has like some really great comedic moments, but
like Rogan had to be the straight guy in that movie, and I feel
like this was his chance too, because I fel like he does that a
lot where he's very comedic, but he is always like knocked up. He's
the guy with the baby and he has to keep things straight, you know,
pine up, e stress, stuff like that. I think that maybe
closest is like probably Super Bad as well, where he gets to be a
bit characteristic even like you know, like everything like this end, he's always
the straight guy. So I like that he starts as like the straight guy,
but then he just goes on this ride, and I think it's good
because not only is he trying to bounce his friends. I love there's many
times where with both Mackie and Levitt, he's like the peacekeeper. He's trying
to get them not to say certain things like I know this is the best
time to has this conversation, and then they start arguings like I guess we're
doing it. Like I love that he tries his best just to keep things
up. And that's where you're again, like they say he's a lower,
he's a rock. Like so it feels like not only with the wife and
this potential baby, also with his friends. He's trying to keep it there.
So the second he has these drugs, now that's gone and he's just
he's just out there. And that's why you could almost argue why the group
kind of not breaks up for a little bit in the middle but has those
issues because if he wasn't, maybe he could have kept them, you know,
like playing safe with one another. But obviously the drugs and losing the
phone was was not good because I got Seff rogan a whole another round and
stuff like that, and talking to Jesus and you know, Travis, you're
talking about how like often these these movies. This group of people like there's
like a realism to the stories too, and this one kind of goes out
of the way to not do that. But one of the things I like
is is the drugs aspect of anything but like super Bad, like the whole
like half the plot of that movie is like I'm just trying to get alcohol,
and that's kind of the lead, how you're leading around. But I
love that his wife just gives them that like you know, little jewelry box
of just all these different drugs in it, and then they like play the
music and chimes there, and then that just becomes like I don't know,
they just yeah, they do like kind of one trope with him being high
on whatever it is, and then they like there's really no story reason,
they just like jump to the next one. He's like, Okay, this
is fucking me up. I need to do this other drug instead. And
I like that It's just that's just so over the top and silly and like
doesn't really feel like he what he would do in a realistic scenario, but
they're just ripping it and like, yeah, letting seth Rogen do the like
his best impression of what each of these drugs would do to you. And
he's just like doing a little cocktail where it's like, oh, like I
was feeling better on the shroom, so let's just do more of it,
Like like various periods of the movie, like he's still freaking out, like
more more so than he could be, and then he just takes like another
tablet of something and like he's just he's just taking these like throughout the movie.
Oh my gosh, he's just setting himself up to for failure there.
But yeah, and that's why, like when he gets a box, he's
like, yeah, fucking measurements are all over the place like oh yeah,
you got weed. Yeah I got wet. He just pulls out like the
one little joints Like that's a fucking joint, man, What am I supposed
to do with the size? I don't know. These measurements all messed up.
But yeah, and that's most of his stuff Offuly gets mixed up with
Mindy Kayley and there's some fun and like that's the other thing too, Like
that still gets me every time is when he's getting the dick pics, Like
I it's all it's the it is, it's a double, it's a pure
writing of Rogan or the performance, but it's also the writing of just like,
oh, you're gonna suck at dictating. He's like, I guess you
know, I'm sucking a nicta. I never thought this happened, Like it's
just like they do it in such an innocent way. It's just it's so
fun the way it happens anything like for a while because he thinks it's some
guy from work and stuff like that, and and I love the classic like
this happens a bull train, and I love the classic of like just the
mix up of like what would you like a dick like this, like of
course I would like look at it, like and he's just feeding into the
James character and stuff, which at the time, it's like that was it
was fun to know, Okay, it's probably gonna be him, and that
was a good payoff. It sucks that it's like not as enjoyable now.
But when I just I separate art from the artists, and I love everything
with like him Kling and Rogan of just like him being the cockpucker just like
all the time, like yeah, I got a bush and she's like dancing,
and I love them when she just breaks serious and she's like, Okay,
dude, you need a fuck right off. Like I love when she
just goes straight mad at him, and but I love like it's like a
fun it's a fun reason to get the phone back, and all the comedic
stuff just works for me in that moment with the cell phone and Mindy Kayling
and all that, yeah, stuff like the dick pic and like him reacting
to the text. That was amazing, But like for me, it just
it peaked when he actually meets James. He's like, oh you're James.
He's just going and he's not even like hiding, like oh yeah, no,
okay, here's your phone whatever. It's just like I was on talking
to you, and then they just had this like really strange dynamic. It's
fantastic. Oh my god, that not like man I was belly laughing that
all that stuff that was so good. Anything else on Oh god, what
am I forgot his character's name? Isaac? Isaac? Anything else on?
Isaac? Any moment? Just like the cocaine blood and the martini that that
one was just the slow mo absolutely disgusting, tastes like copper, and you
know, she like just freaks out, like leaves the bar and like her
friend, you know, they've been there for like five minutes, like they're
all happy to like see familiar people, and all of a sudden, it's
like, I gotta get the fuck out of here. I'm freaking out right
now. And like the last thing she says is she's like you shouldn't be
a father, and she just so like it's great and it builds upon like
already his insecurities. And I wasn't gonna say I like like the whole chase
of the phone because like you guys talk about, he has the whole like
fuck you baby and calls the names I loved in the theater like the first
time, like they just had the wife kind of laugh it off and have
fun with Like I like that moment between the two and stuff like that,
and the crescendos with like you're a fucking dragon right now and all this that
that scene Kirk when you mentioned with uh her leaving after the blood cocktail thing
and she goes to the bathroom and she's like trying to get in and that's
when like the girl inside is with Anthony Mackie and she's like, people are
fucking in here, and that's why that's when hence my neck day. That's
what really got me because like like he's obviously having a good sign. They're
going crazy, and then all of a sudden, like it just stops.
She's just like to take a dump. And his facial reaction was priceless.
So what's so they said, This is what I started to get because if
you look at him as like Sam Falcon and the like Avengers movies, at
point, like he was just kind of there, like he was good,
but like there was not too much he got to work with him though,
So to see him like fully like fleshed out as like this arrogant guy,
but he has like a soft side and like I love all the dialogue.
Oh yeah, what about your friends? Like, oh, friends, you
know, they're just today's news, but fans there forever like he's such a
piece of shit. But it feels like at the end of the movie,
like once he sees eyes to get beats up and he gets of the steroids
all with the friends, like he realized like what's there, and like it's
that a journey that's not been done before. Of course this has been done
thousands of times the movies, but I think it's just like, I like
the idea. Okay, they made him semi famous, and they made it
with this aeroids of which I don't know if I've seen that in a movie
where it's like, Okay, that's the crux of the friendship is they kind
of know why he got better. So now I really like Mackie in this
movie, and like just the mini journey we go alread talk about with the
mom, but the journey of him trying to be a better person at the
end, you know, not so self centered. Mm hmm. Definitely,
uh, what's next? Who's next? I'll quickly shout out Tracy Morgan as
the narrator. I think is a very fun addition to this. And it
mean, it's not like he's in it a whole lot, just kind of
bookends it. Yeah, very much in that like classic Christmas movie way where
you know they're just kind of setting you up and then like letting the story
exists and then capping it off at the end. So I feel like that
fits kind of a nice Christmas trope. But I don't know, I like
that the rhyming at the start is fun and all that, and then it
obviously connects with mister Green in the end, which is a kind of a
funny, funny connection. Yeah, I almost wish they did that, Like
even though like I really have no consent, I wish they did almost like
the rhyming miscals up a little bit more because I like that opening and I
do like that they go on that they kind of lean on the side of
Santa's really like I like movies that kind of do that because if they're already
like introducing an element where Michael Shannon's like getting angel when it's flying off,
it's like, well that moment just commit and I like when it is a
little bit just like grandiose and stuff like that, and the opening is great
other than just man that that wig they give Joseph Gorlaa trying to and look
younger always just stands out to me. It's like, oh, if like
I get what, I get what they're going for, and it's it's not
a big deal. There's only a few minutes scene, but every time they
show them like as their younger versions, it's just like this is there's nothing
like it kind of works. I feel like they're trying to make them all
look really stupid. So yeah, that's true. For me, it actually
kind of fits. I think that's what I was looking like before I got
my haircut, look like Pattison. Oh, we'll take our second ad break
and then we'll be right back. And we're back. And I guess we
should have in case no one else had watched this and they're just listening this
to the first time. You should have said up that they're a group of
friends and what the whole deal is that they've always wanted to get to the
Nutcracker Ball. They like, they're at a bar, they meet this lady
who does like the rhyming about like so many drugs. I'm surprised and survived
all this stuff, and they always wanted to go to the Nutcracker Ball And
this is the last year they're gonna hang on his friends alone. Behold just
scoring, which again you talk about That's what I love about all these like
Rogan Goldberg movies when you look back, like Randall Park is the waiter and
like now it's like, ohvious, he's Jimmy wooing the MQ. But she's
like you see him pop up in a bunch of other shows and movies and
stuff. Now, But at that point she's like he's just some guy,
and I love everything about the the l face and feeling more festive and stuff
like that. But yeah, he's going through ticker, he's going through coats,
gets the tickets. Imagine those people must have been pissed. They thought
they were going to Nutcracker Ball. Now, well it seems like it's pretty
easy to go to the Nutcracker Ball because I mean everyone was going to it
in this movie. So yeah, that was that was like, I don't
mind it because I need it, but like the fact that you know,
the football the quarterback was going there and then like I guess those girls were
only going there because James and whatnot, and mister Green is throwing the party
like it is a little coincidental, but he does say it's getting bigger every
year, so who knows, Maybe it truly was just max capacity at that
point. What did you guys think of that That scene when just Gordon Levit's
character like he's he's the two Santa Clauses and he just gets pissed off at
them because they're like ruining the meaning of Christmas and the representation of Santa and
he drops the one guy can't reraer. The actor's name. He's a funny
character, a funny actor. But he goes in and like grabs the other
guy, and Santa's like, you got a lot of built up rage.
I think it's directed at something else. And he's like, no, I
have a lot of anger and it's all because of this. I'm paraphrasing him,
of course, but it just cracked me up. Yeah, those two
rob Wiggle, I think is when you're looking for And then the other guy
that punches him is Jason Sadeika. So I fucking love when he's like Jason,
I didn't even recognize him. Then, Oh yeah, shit, yeah,
I'm a teacher. I'm shaping our youth. It's like I like the
moment just because it's a show. Pissed off he is, and I like
how he tries to do later on kind of deflect of why it happened and
stuff like that, like you didn't even pick the fight the SAMs. But
then one of his friends he's just like, yeah, they they mugged me.
It's like, oh, well, did they get the tickets or your
wall? Well no, they didn't do Like well they beat you up.
It's like it just kind of happened. It doesn't matter. But yeah,
yeah, Jason Jones, what's gonna say that cannot be correct? That's why
I didn't recognize that. No, not the ticket, Sorry, no other
way, Jason. That's what I didn't recognize. Who's either guy, Jason
Jones? What do you like the guy that actually like headlocks him? No,
Jason, I was thinking as well, Yeah I was wrong that.
No. I was thinking Jason Sidakis for Jacus man Sucus. Jason Man Sukus.
He's like just like he's getting more popular now, but he's in a
bunch of commedy roles. But he's in one of my favorite podcasts, how
this gip made. It's just him and a couple other people are being like
terrible movies and they have a good time with it. But yeah, no,
I like this Senus like it's good in the moment to what else are
you gonna do? Seth Rogan's running after the phone. Mackie is running after
the girl, which again that the girl whatever I can't remember the character's name
is like the fan that's like another I think, like fantastical element because I
feel like you can make an argument that she's not even real in a sense,
like she doesn't interact with Peel. She's just there to like teach him
a lesson, Like at one point where she has I can't remember what happens
he's on the ground. She's like, your friends want to spend time with
you on Christmas even you're out here, like you're such a fucking loser.
Like the whole she's just there too, you know, like it is in
a very crash. She says like, Oh, I'm like the greens and
stuff, but she's another kind of fantastical element. I like that when she
jumps off the building, and I like the idea of it. Oh yeah,
I like, I liked I like the micromachine she so I like the
character, and I like the idea of her maybe being not real because it's
like she doesn't have to be, you know, it's true, like who
would walk around with micro machines. Yeah, there's a lot of micromachines too.
If she had watched Home alone, truly, you like, wearing a
necklace like a pearl night would probably be much better because you can just wear
that normally. Instide of the pocket full micro machines does the same thing.
Plus, remember too, if if a pearl because I was watching on one
too. If it breaks like that a bunch of little pieces, it's fake.
It's not a real pearl. They break, they break singularly. They
would never break like that all and scattered and stuff like that. So there
you go, fun fat there. The more you know, the more you
know. Yeah, just quickly on those two Santas and like, yeah,
it is a good spot. I guess to have some screen time with JGL.
But I feel like also it is like a good like story point though,
because it's just like showing the viewers like his like pent up rage.
I guess that his friend like he's really feeling that his friends are just betraying
him in a sense, and like you know, that is sprinkled throughout,
but like this is kind of the breaking point where he's actually just resorting to
like punching people. He's like looking for fights at this point. So I
think that scene is actually really good for what it is, and what a
great reaction from those those two drunks Santa Claus people. They could have just
beat the shit out of him, but really it's just like I don't want
to fight you, man, And then the one guy's like I want to
fight him. He sucker punched me, but they just kind of leave it
at that. It's definitely coulda gone a lot worse. So uh yeah,
but I I don't know. I quite like that scene for just having it
gives like when they all meet up again, like like for him, U
sorry, a reason for him to really pissed off his friends because he actually
got like physical damage. I guess he could call it. So, yeah,
what do you guys thinking about the dynamic of the reason him and whatever
her name broke up with him forgetting everybody's names here but Diana, Yeah,
wouldn't he wouldn't be Yeah, yeah, what do you think about that dynamic
of the whole kind of back and like the oh are the is she asking
about me? No, she's not asked about me. Later on we get
that revealed, Like, okay, she is asking about I'm Like, I
think there's a fun back and forth the whole movie, And I actually think
for the miniature times they're on screen, they got good chemistry. So because
they don't they have like only I think like three scenes, but they mean
the bar Miley Cyrus scene, which I fucking love, Like there's another joke
of like stop calling me mind what I should I call you, Hannah,
and it's just like like theyve it hanging there for like five seconds, like
I'm just fucking with you, I'm so drunk and stuff like that. But
I like there's like literally the bar, the my thing, and then the
parents, and that's like all you get to those three, you know,
for those two. Yes, Yeah, I feel like I really like that
actress. And I've only seen her in like a handful of things, one
being Cloverfield being Girls and I guess this but now you see me too.
She was in that right, Oh yeah, that's right. She replaced what's
what's her face from the first one, but uh yeah, but yeah,
no, I I don't know. I think she's great, and it's kind
of a shame that i'ven't seen her in more things because I think every every
time I have seen her, like she just has really good on screen chemistry
with the characters that she's interacting with. And this is definitely another one because
as you mentioned, there's only like three maybe a little bit more of like
on screen time with her or like scenes like between her and jg L.
But it's one of those things too, where like I feel like it shouldn't
really work for me. But it does, and maybe it is just because
that on screen chemistry just does really work. It's you know, it's it's
kind of convenient that like the last few years, like she just hasn't really
moved on. It seems like she's she's kind of doing fine, and this
kind of loser that's just you know, hasn't been able to commit for what
do they say, was it like a year or was it a couple of
months that that she hadn't seen him, might have already been a couple much
Okay, okay, never mind, then maybe maybe I'll take that back.
Maybe that is a little bit uh you know, I guess it's an appropriate
time for them to have this rapport or whatever, just I don't know,
strengthening their relationship or whatnot. But yeah, I liked it, and I
you know, for what the movie is, I think it works well.
And that's why, like you said, like when you had the no with
Rogan and his wife, where uh like that. I like that shift.
So she didn't get match just accepted. That's what I liked in the movie
when they did the proposal and she said yes, And you're expecting this movie
more. But then really when they pull aside, She's like, I'm not
gonna fucking marry you, Like I just said this because yeah, yeah,
I know what embarrassing you mileys. They're like I love that because like they
could have just went through it. But I feel like that happens in so
many movies. Oh yeah, good, they're and love, they're married,
they're gonna be happy. But and then later on they're retroactively like talk and
then she goes and meets the parents. So I really like that kind of
switch roo of things that she says, yes but just kind of like just
to be nice, not to like fucking throw a knife in this guy's hard
in front of like thousands of people, you know. So I'm looking up
her IMDb because I'm curious. I haven't seen her anything recently, but totally
forgot she's a disaster artists, Like, do you guys remember what she does
in that movie? I can? Is she not just when the interviews the
disaster artist at the beginning when I remember the interview, a bunch of the
cast and they're like, so long I've watched it, I don't know.
It's like she was in the interview as well, So she's low key kind
of part of this cruise. Yeah, those movies. Yeah, the interview,
I remember she was like the person that's set up. Nope, she
was like the CIA person and whatnot. But no, Kirkles, I was
saying the same thing to Emily, like I wish I would see her in
more things, you know. So yeah, I mean I think she's maybe
the one character who doesn't really get to do anything particularly fun and is so
it's hard to like, yeah, point out a scene or a line that
is I don't know, funny in the way that every other character has one
of those moments. But I think, yeah, the the setup of that
story ties nicely into you know, like part of the reason why he didn't
want to move in with her, didn't want to meet the parents because he
kind of want to hold onto this period of his life with his friends,
and it kind of all comes together in the end. So yeah, I
think it worked well. But you're right, there'sn't really like a ton of
scenes there. But I think that's almost more impressive at how like the chemistry
between them and how well it seems to work for how little you're actually really
shown. I Mean, they talk about it a lot. I guess,
so you're kind of implied a lot, even when scenes when she's not there.
But I don't know. I think she's pretty good in that role in
storyline works. Well, yeah, it feels something like if you've watched a
couple for multiple seasons of a show and then are agetting back together but we
haven't seen those multiple seasons and stuff like that. They I think they have
a good job, Like the friends always dropping lots of lines of familiar so
it's not like a we've seen that movies where she's like, that's its own
plot line. The friends don't really talk about but multiple times they're just like,
you screwed that up or you let her go, like oh you could
have done this, and stuff like that. So it'll as the viewer to
and informed stuff. Oh hey, the two people I trust the most tell
them this is a bad decision, so we in tune should also think that
it's a bad decision because you know, something good for him. So okay,
sorry, I'm going IMDb surfing. Apparently she's in Freaking Geeks too,
which is like the origin of this whole crew, and I totally forget,
oh yeah, what she was in Freaking Geeks. I I, Yeah,
I couldn't. I've watched it once long time ago. I need to rewatch
the thing, like as like an older adult now that will retain and stuff
like that. I think it was just like, oh, they've done the
show and then I just binge it all like a weekend as like a young
youth and stuff. So yeah, yeah, uh we sh probably about mister
Green. I don't know what there is to talk about other than just like
it's just like us just just getting this guy praise and whatnot. But it's
it's yeah, it's one of my favorite Michael Shannon Rolls. Every scene is
perfect with him, and again he's not into that much, but every car
scene, I love the great gasby Swore reveal, even the Angel I just
remember the theaters of being what the fuck is going on right now? It's
like I believe I've earned these and he just looks like like okay, But
every dialogue of how I Love he'll just be very monotone and quiet and then
just like I said at the beginning, just like give one hundred dollars,
get the fuck out of my car, like you don't like fus like and
that's I love it. The first time you watched it, you didn't know
whether to trust him or not. I love like when you rewatch he's like,
oh, I got a party, you want to come and just back?
He's like no, like and he's like he nice, is like oh
I got other stuff going on, but he's it's so good. I like,
like I said, he has done more comedian things of years go on,
But I would love to see Michael Shannon just more comedy because he does
the Crossbrown like knives out where it's like it's serious, but there's comedic moments
he can do and stuff like that. But more stuff of just like straight
calling for Michael Shannon, I will absolutely take. I feel like this character
is like the exact equivalent of Jesse Plemons and Game Night, and I just
I just love. That's my favorite type of character in these movies. Who's
yeah, not in it a whole lot, but just so strange and you
just want to know more. Yeah, it sounds like a terrible deal for
Frudo's leg yea three. I know too. He's so we gotta do retro
for that, Yeah we do. Yeah, just the way they're like semi
insane, way maybe try to kill his wife or something. It's like,
oh man, that's why I like when Michael Shanno same thing. It's like
he's friendly, but then he's not. You just don't win the first time
you watch. It's like you don't know what route it's gonna really go,
Like I don't think anything. We're gonna get killed by just mean like when
he does like snap and get a little serious, like Okay, what's gonna
be the pay off here? And doesn't, it's just kind of that's he's
a weird dude. You know, Santa's son. Technically that's what they set
him up in the cannon here sa son, So Santa's son. When Mackie
gets into the yeah, mister Green's vehicle, and uh, he just keeps
talking about like the weed of Christmas present or the weeds of president or whatever
present. And he kept yeah, he keeps like going his like like his
little finger thinging from him like present present. Like he just keeps saying,
mack He's like, what the fuck's going on? But then when he's like,
yeah, you know, get some get some weed for you know,
the Messiah, and he's so serious, like there's only one Messiah. Lord's
Sager Jesus Christ you're using that it's very pretty blasphemous. Like it's just he
sells that so well, holy shit, it doesn't matter what he's saying.
He has like the same monot monetized voice, and I it's yeah, it
goes. It goes so like far for what he's delivering. And I think
just like his body language and the fact that he does just remain like that
same monotone. And they do like a lot of interesting like camera cuts,
especially like this, like the first time that Anthony Mack he's like in the
car keeps like zooming in at like an like an angle like on Michael Shannon's
face, and then it'll like go back and then like do like a different
angle on him. Just all those little details. It just it boosts like
the the mystery effect of what this is. And like when they enter the
car, you don't know what's gonna go on there. I just remember we
said so many times, yeah look my finger lut my finger boxing at the
cot just because the whole talk before that's really nice and stuff like when he
has him by the head, what he's like looking into your soul and like
that's it's great when you're watching the first time, you just think he's sucking
nuts, but when you rewatch it, oh, he might actually be like
having me like because he's like sometimes I get high and I see the future
and sometimes these things come true and just like you're they completely make him out
to be a weirdo and then obviously the thing when they would be like it's
his party, you kind of Okay, this doesn't make sense. But what
I like is be cause like I feel like there's tons of obviously tributes,
like we talk about the Girl where she tributes Christmas movies, and I feel
like there's sense of soundtracks, moments and stuff like that. But I feel
like they use mister Green as like we joke about so much in homeolone one
and two when you get like the Boots guy, like this this the old
guy that's just doing the salt, and then you got the Bird Lady and
Home Alone two, where like I feel like they took them kind of had
a fun spino where it's like those are characters that when you meet them they're
untrustworthy, right, but at the end it's always revealed they're a good person
and they like had a hidden meeting. Now of this is like to a
bigger degree with being an angel and the great gassy thing. But I feel
like they're kind of playing on that trope of we want to introduce a mysterious,
dangerous but at the end of the day, they're going to be a
friendly individual. And I think I said, that's another thing I'd love just
know how did the Michael Shannon of it all come about? Like how did
that, like, how they approach him, how they like we see the
initial idea because it just seems like a perfect casting and stuff like that.
And yeah, he's every time holidays come around, I go, man,
I just think about mister Green and I can't wait to watch those scenes,
and they all always deliver. How many times I see him, they just
always deliver, you know. So Yeah, I feel like everything he says
is just so quotable throughout this movie. A couple of ones that I remember
to shout out though, was when like Mackie gets in there. I mean,
Taylor already mentioned the uh, the Jesus Christ from Blasphemous One, But
when I think it's yeah, Anthony Mackie is like just he's like basically saying
that he's he's buying drugs, Like with his friends or whatever. He's like
seeing you kids hanging out getting stoned. So it's like, just makes me
so damn proud, and like just this like weird father like dynamic that he
has with him. The other one, he's like, I just see you
guys as my babies. Do you ever see me as a father figure?
It's just like you he's weird too. Yeah, he has no idea what
to say. He doesn't know if there's a right or wrong answer here.
Right. And then the last one was just when he's like you and I
both know Miley was flawless. Yeah. Good that other there's that one more
too, when cith Throe gets in the car and he's just like, I'm
a cop. He's already tripping out so hard. He's having such a bad
trip. Like the entire movie, Oh goodness, oh good stuff, anything
else, anything else to shut out character moments. See. I like Seth
Rogan's wife. I forget the actress's name, but she's she's really good in
this of just I don't know, being like this mom uh mom to be,
I guess, And just like the dynamic between her and Seth Rogan and
him being like the rock for her it's just like, go have fun.
And I mean Taylor already brought up like the church scene, but when just
the chaos of that ensues. I like how she's never really like freaking out
for him, like doing these sort of decisions or whatever. It's just like
because he's doing these decisions around like her family, it's like, you know,
like he just she wants to keep them separate. And yeah, I
just I really liked that actress in the role. That's the most mad she
gets my family? Would hear you gotta got like a funk off, Like
I'm serious, right now, where do I go? Just get the fun?
Are you coming back? He walks, He does like a circle around
like I was just talking to whatever in his family and everything like that,
which, like I know it's a thing, but like because of the midnight
Mass Netflix showing this all power to you. But every time I hear midnight
Mass, like, man, people go to midnight mass, like I could
never I cannot imagine staying up midnight to do that. It's like every time
I hear, my, wow, that's a lot of commitment and stuff like
that, but we'll stay for midnight for cod But you know exactly there's my
church. What what was it that she said? Like I'm trying to remember
how she put it. When he's gonna puke and she says, farf bags
and he's just ripping through all the Bible, just like just the people,
just the people around and they showed on the chair so many times again the
line that just gets me. She's like, we did not do that,
we did not kill Jesus, and I I guess also I was gonna say.
What I like is that they get the ending. They're all happy and
they jump in your head and they show that they're all still together for Christmas
in a varying degree, but they got the multiple families and it's a good
ending and they sing the baby, So I like that. I like the
quick little You know, movies are tropy nowadays for doing the how many years
jump? But I think this was a good warranted one. So yeah,
definitely nice epilogue. Kind of Yeah, Kirk, pats are final thoughts and
uh, how would you get this? Said Tim if you want to rate
it final thoughts? Yeah, I had such a fun time watching this movie
and I feel like, I I don't even know if I enjoy it more.
The more I watch it, but it's definitely like still at that same
caliber. Maybe it helps that I don't watch it like too often. So
it's, like I mentioned multiple times on like just talking with you guys,
there's a lot of humor and jokes that I just completely forgot about. So
it was really fresh and new going through it. And I love the cast
in here, and yeah, it's it's surprisingly like very much a Christmas movie,
Like it totally hits that that bar. And yeah, I I love
it so much. I think I'll give it maybe like a nine out of
ten. Maybe the reason it's not a perfect is just because I think while
watching it there's certain moments when I think I wasn't fully sold on, like
why the characters would kind of break off do their own thing, like it
just it just needed to happen to like because it was written that way.
I think it could have been executed a little bit better. But still like
it's it's really good. So yeah, still nine out of ten. Could
ebb and flow up or down, but probably not down. It probably only
ebben up, but for now nine at ten and dealing final thoughts, not
really that's a good one. I'll probably watch it every year, I remember
that exists there you go to a field. I Yeah, talking about it
with you guys definitely made me retrospectively enjoy it more. And I think,
like, this is something I feel like we could watch all together and it
would just be an absolute, like gall holy shit, it'd be just a
hoot. So I'd I'd give it. I'd give it an eight out of
ten because there's so many things that just again the gap between having seen this
last and then watching it recently, it just totally hit me hard, just
the the innocent humor and Seth Rogan's just maje your trip, you know,
seeing his wife like a dinosaur, seeing Mackiw's mum with tentacle arms. Like,
There's just so much weird, like random shit that happens, and it's
so funny. So it's it's definitely a gem and I recommend it. I
think a lot of people will get a kick out of it. Yeah,
no, I know much to say praise this movie, bunch, don't really
have any cons. I'm dropping the big old ten on it. It's to
me, like, I just love this movie. I get so much enjoyment
out of it. I'm always looking forward to watch it again, and yeah,
thank you Maddy very much for recommending, because I feel like this is
this came about after nine Before and I saw you just recently locked in the
letter box, so I feel like after or I feel like the Night Before
has come up multiple times in the Geek for his history. It's like,
oh, what a good movie, or talk about that. But so it's
fun to reminisce and talk about it a little bit. So yeah, that's
that's it. I think this is the last. Yeah, it's the last
Wretcher for the year too, because January's coming up and then after that we're
gonna get into some fun ones next year. And I proise you, we
approase you will not be boring and Merry Christmas. Christmas
