Mac picture of this. Oh you're dead. I have perish. You have
perished? What was my cause of death? How do you think you're going
to die? I don't know. It's a good question. All right,
we'll get back to that at the end. All right. You are,
you know, going up the escalator through the pearly gates, about to see
whoever you want to see. And to your right, to your left you
are walking through a food court. So like the waiting room of the Pearly
Gates of Heaven is an airport food court? Right, but in your mind,
what food places are you seeing at this food court? You're six six?
Okay? Well, sick allows you to do a pretty easy spread here.
So you have to have Taco Bell in there. Agreed, Taco Bell
has everything a man could ever dream of. If you could just have Taco
Bell, and I'd be happy enough with it. You have to represent fast
food burgers and fries in some way, and like shake Shack in five guys
are too big to be a food court, you'd probably go McDonald's. Who
there. I don't see a lot of McDonald in food courts, though you
see more Burger Kings than McDonald's in food courts. You never really see Wendy's,
which is going to say I was actually at the American Dream Mall over
the weekend. Okay, they had a Wendy's. How about that. I
prefer McDonald's over Wendy's. Okay, so give me McDonald's there, and then
I'll go Popeyes for my like chicken representation there. I love Popeyes spicy chicken
sandwich. I just like Popeyes in general. So that's three. You kind
of get your chicken, tacos burgers. You gotta have some sort of Asian
representation here. I would go like Master Walk Master Walk way back in the
day. I don't even know if they exist anymore. Twenty years ago.
Master Walk was fantastic. Their general goo has always been my favorite, so
I really like that. And then you got to get a pizza element in
there too, And most reputable pizza places aren't going into food courts, so
we're talking chain pizzas here, Like I don't you can't really do a Domino's.
I don't think they have to accept that you're getting a barrow. Yeah,
so I'd go for my favorite York slice a to borrow, which is
not good, but you know, you get some representation in there, and
then the sixth you'd probably have to do like a smoothie dessert. I was
gonna say, some kind of an ice cream right, Yeah, maybe an
ice cream place. Yeah, So for that, I wouldn't really care what
it is. That would be probably a revolving like a pretzel place. Maybe
about a pretzel thin too. Yeah, you could do like an Auntians pretzel
that would be real nice. I'd like that. Yeah, how about you
go. I was just gonna tell you it doesn't matter what I think.
People only care what you think. Over the weekend, Like I said,
I was in New Jersey. I was at the American Dream Mall. That
had one of the best food courts I've ever seen. By the way,
this is the second biggest mall in America, just behind the one in Minnesota.
All of America had a hockey fucking rinking there was crazy, really Yeah.
So they had a Wendy's, they had a Popeyees, they had a
Taco Bell, they had a place that just fried food. They had a
weird pasta place. It really had everything. They had a jolly Bee,
which they don't generally have anywhere. My Filipino family very thrilled about that,
right, So really it really had everything. Not only that, I don't
know if I can recommend this because it's super expensive, but uh, the
Nickelodeon Universe Amusement Park. It's an indoor amusement park. Unbelievable in the mall.
It was in the mall. Wow. So I've never heard of this
place. Maybe because the Mall of America steals it's shined. But yeah,
I was not aware of this place. What it's in new is how close
is it to New York City? It is right across the street from MetLife.
Oh okay, so what's that like? Thirty minutes forty minutes outside the
city. Thirty minutes outside the city. They have a hockey rink, They
have the Nickelodeon Place. They also have a Universal I'm sorry not Universal,
a DreamWorks water park as well on the inside. Wow, this is quite
something. So when you're on your way up to the Pearly Gates, you
just want one last stop of the American Dream Mall, I'm gonna go up
the escalator and say please bring me back to New Jersey. One go three,
yeah, job three. King of Queen Marl Street entertain And I am
mad and we are the Mac and Goo program. We bring you friendship yep.
And today we're doing our world famous what have you been watching lately?
Catching you up? Have you been watch lately? What have you been watching?
What have you been watching? We'll be catching you up on a number
of movies. We have eight or nine here that we've watched from the last
couple of the months, some of them kind of brands making new, some
of them from two two and a half months ago. But more importantly go.
We do have to explain that you are recording from Harry Potter's bedroom under
the once again in the utility closet at iHeartMedia Boston. They call that the
Jeff Frye closet. I think about that could play every position. I voted
for Damon Buford. It didn't like Benjamin. I'm a big fan of Desi
Rellaford, but he never played here. Good hot off the presses. Here
he is some movie news and we'll talk about one of these movies in a
second. We had a Memorial Day weekend aka garfiosa box office weekend, and
this is being billed as the worst box office weekend, Sorry, the worst
Memorial Day box office weekend since nineteen ninety five, thirty years, we got
to go back to find a weekend as bad, and that's not even counting
for inflation. So this is actually worse that weekend. Do the number one
movie at the box office Casper Christina Roel Ghost the Ghost that had. That
movie had a b thirteen year old girls fawning over a ghost played by Devin
Sawa. You know who was the lead in Casper the Friendly Ghost too,
Lizzie Maguire. That's correct, Hillary Duff. Hillary Duff's right, all right,
it'll do it for this podcast, guys. She played Wendy. That
was Wendy and Casper, right, but wasn't the first one also Wendy,
so she was recast as Wendy. No, no, no, Wendy gets
brought into this one. That's when they were crossing over. Wait, so
play just a girl? That's always her name is like the antagonist and fu
girl? Yeah girl, the girl girl interrupted top of your head right now?
Can you name Casper's three uncles? Oh fucking stinky, Slimy and gooey.
I don't know. Okay, you're pretty close and I don't know this
either. Stretch Oh yep, yep, Yeah, Fatso, Okay, sounds
right. Fuck, I don't know the third one. Stinky sounds right though,
stinky sounds right. I remember Fatso because my cousin was not allowed to
watch Casper anymore because he called someone Fatso. Think a trivia question right there.
Put lock that up up there, we'll come back to. Yeah.
I'm gonna put what we do our next spooky stuff trivia that we're not allowed
to do anymore, but we do nineteen ninety five Memorial Day weekend box office
trivia. That'll be one of the twenty questions. I'm gonna put my my
balls on the line here. I'm trying to think of something a little more,
uh, you know, not as crass, but I'm gonna say stinky,
stretch and fatso. That sounds better than what I was saying. So
yeah, I feel pretty confident there. I feel pretty confident all right.
Number one at the box office goo was Furiosa, a Mad Max story,
making thirty two million over the four day weekend, which is obvious. I
think they were expecting in the fifty sixty range and this fell way short.
I don't as good as that Fury Road movie gets rated, which it gets
it's off the charts at one like fucking fore Cat of Awards. I don't
know if anyone was really wanting a prequel to that movie. It is both
a prequel and a spinoff, but go ahead. Yeah and moreover as good
as Furry Road did, I don't think it made a ton of money until
it started getting rated, like through the roofs. So the Mad Max,
like obviously it's a known ip, but I don't think it's a massive money
maker. Yeah, both of the movies that did not perform as well as
they should have over the weekend, Mad Max and Garfield. Garfield, by
the way, made just barely a million less than Furiosis. They will have
a second weekend to make up for this upcoming weekend because there are no big
movies coming out. Yeah, we got a couple of week run here where
it's it's pretty open yep. Garfield comes in at number two thirty one point
one. That's over the four days. Third, fourth, and fifth was
if Our Kingdom of the Plan of the Apes movie, which made thirteen million.
If was sixteen and then The Fall Guys still making a movie even though
it's out digitally as well, made almost six million at the theater good by
the way, I was about to, and I'll probably cut this up for
like a TikTok video because we need them clicks. We need them clicks.
Do you remember during our fall Guy podcast, our award winning Fall Guy podcast,
I made the prediction that The Fall Guy would have a top Gun Maverick
like Summer. I was wrong. I uh, you were so excited for
that movie, and it's still it's still surprising to me that I liked it
like a little bit more than you did. I don't know. They marketed
the shit out of that movie a lot. So everyone's like coming out about,
you know, Garfield and Furiosa, like, oh, how did it
make that much money? Why is no one writing about The Fall Guy not
making any money? I did people have. I don't know about that.
I don't know what that's not. Why write about The Fall Guy, writers,
you folks. I won't I won't read it, but write about it,
all right? Go first on the docket here today is Garfield. The
aforementioned gar Field just made thirty one million dollars and it's opening weekend. It's
been out for not even a week now. This is a PG rated.
You don't have the little peak behind the curtainer. You did the notes from
the movies he's seen and didn't do it in the style I like doing it,
So I'm going to be all over the map. I also told you
this, I don't know three hours ago you could have changed my notes.
No, you told me this twenty minutes ago when you logged on. You're
giving the people too far peak behind the curtain right now if you could stop
telling them about our personal lives. This is obviously an animated comedy for kids,
but also Garfield's been around long enough that it's it's four folks of our
age and a little bit older too. I also just realized that I crossed
my legs again. If you could point out to me when I'm doing this,
no, because I don't do it intentionally. We're going to need a
super cut after this. On TikTok, how many times you crushed her?
I can't help it. On Roddy T's, by the way, our our
forty one too long? That's pretty good none out for what none o kid
movie too. I'll tell her I've watched a lot of kids movies over the
page is not bad, No, but you need your kids movies to be
an hour twenty five, So you want eighty five minutes, I want eighty
five minutes, all right, fair enough to get in and out. I
don't I don't blame me on that. A movie that's not on this list
is Migration. They got in and out eighty five minutes. My kid loves
it. That makes sense, Yeah, it does make sense. Quite the
split here on roddy Teazgoo thirty eight percent from the critics, eighty one percent
from the audience. Now, of course, the audience is easy to please.
Do you think and this ties into it here? I think it's actually
down down to a thirty on Metacritic. Do you think it deserved this this
low score? Ye from the critics. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this
movie is bad and I did leave with about a half an hour left.
But while watching this movie, I was and I am pretty open to children's
animated movies. I'm pretty accepting of them. As long as I can see
what audience this movie is made for, I'm fine with it. I wasn't
sure who this was made for. With their like it was just back and
forth between being kind of slapsticky but not in a fun way, making weird
references to like the nineteen sixties, you know, comic Run or whatever it
is, or you know Garfield window placards, whatever. So I wasn't entirely
sure, like who would enjoy this movie? I if you're thinking about especially
for over ninety minutes, who could sit through ninety minutes of this and be
like, I'm enjoying what I'm being given on the screen. That's fair?
That is I just did it again? You gonna tell me? So?
This movie is directed by Mark Dindall, never heard of him. Writers on
the movie Paul Kaplan, Mark Torgrove, and David Reynolds. Never heard of
them. Oh. This movie stars Chris Pratt as the voice of Garfield,
who is doing a voice you're saying, right a little bit. It's kind
of like how he changed his voice from Mario just a little bit. It's
not exactly what he gave us as Emmett in the Lego movie, which I
think he actually did a great job with. Oh phenomena in the Lego movie.
Yeah, it's not different from most of his other stuff though. He's
really just doing like Andy Andy Dwyer in the Lego movie, just like a
really excited version of his actual self. Samuel Jackson and Hannah Wattingham also star
in this. Who do they play? So? Samuel L. Jackson is
his father, who is a larger cat who I think is having a little
more fun than what Pratt is with his voice. And Wattingham is the bad
cat. Oh so she's been playing villains recently. Well, she's British.
If you're British, you gotta play a bad cat. Synopsis. After Garfield's
unexpected reunion with his long lost father, ragged ally cat Vic, he and
his canine friend Odie are forced from their perfectly pampered lives to join Vic on
a risky heist. How is Odie in this? I guess you would.
You would look at Odie as like he's us, like he's looking at the
silly situation is like what's going on here? Now? This is a real
Penn and Teller situation with Garfield and Odie, right, because Garfield can speak,
or you think he can, because he says it in his head like
John can't understand him. I don't think, right, But then yeah,
Odie understands it, but Odie can only bark back. Now, of course
we go back to and we were teenagers. We saw two wonderful Garfield films
at the Theaters, in which Bill Murray voiced Garfield. The two thousand and
four movie got a twenty seven a Metacritic. Who was this better or worse?
I can't remember back to that movie at all. Okay, Tale of
Two Kiddies got a thirty seven? Was this better or worse? I like
how they titled the movie, so I'll go with that one. Tail uh
t Jenffery like a cat. Jennifer love Hewitt was in one of them.
I don't remember which one. I think she's in the second one because the
second one. Oh fuck, I know Brecken Meyers in both, Yes,
he is. He plays John Arbuncle. She might be in the second one.
I don't RecA you never more credit in Heartbreakers needs more credit. That's
what we've kind of gotten to here. Heartbreakers deserves more credit. Whatever one
had. Jennifer love Hugh at clearly best Garfield movie ever made. As a
as a fan of Chris Pratt and as a general feel fan of Garfield,
like, I don't mind Garfield. I'm not up or down. I really
have no desire to see this movie. Go. Yeah, I don't know
why they had to go back to the Garfield Well, was it an issue
where like they lose the rights to the property if they don't put a movie
out right now? So they just kind of rushed one out there because even
the story told in the movie, was it necessarily like it had to be
a Garfield movie? Yeah, And I'm sitting here looking at it. So
they put it in Memorial Day weekend expecting it to be this bag numbers.
Yeah, And I like, I don't know what audience they're reading or who
who's leading them down that path because I don't And I am actually looking at
thirty one million as like double what I would think it would make on opening,
So I just don't know where where they're getting their information from. They
got they got duped here. That's that's what I think. Also, my
biggest takeaway like, obviously this movie wasn't made for me. My three year
old son could not sit through one second of this movie. He was just
moving around constantly. I'm handing him snacks to try and keep them going.
He just did not care for this. It's fully animated too, it's not
fully animal ones. Yeah, okay, all right, so that's that's not
great for it. Uh And at some point, you're gonna see Furiosha before
me, but maybe we'll review that once it hits streaming. I just I'm
not gonna pay to see that movie again. I don't have much of a
desire to see it, so I'm not gonna spend money. You know that
Garfield doesn't like Mondays, he likes Lasagna. It's very relatable on both fronts.
Yeah, I actually think there's a lot of uh splashback against Lasagna's people.
People think there's too much going on with Lasagna's. Oh, Hannah Wattingham,
she was speaking to one of the uh, you know, the media
companies that is at the red carpet with her, and she was going through
saying that she prefers pizza over almost everything, and they said, how about
Lazagna. Keep in mind your movie is about Lazagna, And she said,
Lasagna has too much going on. It's really it's it's noodles, sauce and
cheese. It's really meat. No, there's layers. Let's say there's seven
layers. Yeah, but like it's just you're just repeating the layers, right,
But you're like three or four different things going on here. Have you
ever had a one hundred layered lasagna. No, there's a place in Harvard
Square that had that. It was pretty good. I am, you know,
may be a connoisseur of pizza. I don't know. Maybe you wouldn't
go that far. You and I both love our pizzas. I do.
I love pizza. I love deep dish pizza. I do think it relates
more to lazangna than it does. You know, a pizza pie. However,
it's the best version. I mean. Also, I think you and
I we have a similar taste in the fact that we love meatball and ricotta
pizza. Yes, which a lot of places call it lasagna pizza. It
is, it is. It does give you lasagna type flavors. So that's
that's fair. Oh. Also, while in New York, I had a
pizza pie that was a chicken caesar salad. Oh ya, yeah, that
is so. I don't think. Here here's my I'm pretty simple when it
comes to pizza. I love a pepperoni pizza. I'm gonna order that ninety
percent of the time. If I'm not ordering that, it's gonna be the
meatball ricotta, maybe a buffalo chicken, maybe a barbecue chicken, maybe a
chicken picken ranch, but I'm mostly going pepperoni. I don't like these these
pizza places that are like making it just so people gonna be like, oh
my god. I commented it on it. That's what I did. I
wanked and I said, oh my god, look at all the pizza.
A chicken caesar salad pizza is not something that I'm going. I walked into
this place and I'm like, give me that meatball, ricotta, give me
this spinach and artichoke, and what is that back there? I wouldn't order
the spinach an artichoke either. They said that is a chicken caesar salad slice
of pizza. Upon ordering it, you realize that what they did is they
cooked it dough, cheese and chicken, and then they added the lettuce and
sauce and creutons. After. If it's green and leafy, get it off
my pizza. Even the little basil leaves. I usually take them off.
It's just it's too much. I don't like. I don't like the texture
in my mouth. Good Next up a movie that came out the week before.
By the way, Garfield second worst movie on the year for me,
really yeah. I put it below Ghostbusters Okay, how many movies are up
to now? I think I'm up to nineteen sixteen or seventeen maybe, all
right. Next up is if this came out May seventeenth, obviously still in
theaters, it's up to sixty three point five million domestically, over one hundred
internationally. It's doing pretty well money wise. This is a rated PG animated
comedy in drama with a run time of one hundred and four minutes, so
longer than Goo Wats and admittedly, uh, maybe ten minutes too long.
But also this is one of those movies that if they had gone down a
different path, I would have been happy for another ten or fifteen minutes.
I had some missus with the movie. On Roddy, t's forty nine percent
from the critics, eighty nine percent from the audience. So again I'm split
here, a forty six on metacritics. So the critics are pretty disappointed,
the audiences generally liked it. Dow, you have your hand up. Yeah.
My question is here because it was teased to us, either from Krazinsky
or from Reynolds as a live action Pixar movie. Do you think it had
that feel? It's pretty spot on, but I don't know if that's a
good thing, and I'll get to that in a second. Because the recent
Pixar if it does feel a lot like the recent Pixar stuff where they've middled
the audience, sort of what you were talking about with Garfield. Too cool,
you get your hand up. But yeah, the movie is rated PG.
Do you think it would have been better with an R rating? No?
I don't think it would have been better as Happy Time Murders. I
don't, okay. This movie is written directed by John Krasinski. Obviously we
know him from the office, but in his writing and directing career A Quiet
Place, Quiet Place Part two. He also has a writing credit on the
third one coming up here in a month or two. Synopsis. A young
girl who goes through a difficult experience begins to see everyone's imagine her friends who
have been left behind as their real life friends have grown up. This movie
stars Ryan Reynolds as cal Kaylee Fleming is Bee, John Krazinski as the dad,
and Fiona Shaw as the grandmother and guy. Here is a hell of
a voice cast here that I'm going to run through. That is, I
would also say that the voice cast is distracting in how many stars it has,
Yes, and though sometimes it's fun to play that guessing game in the
theater too, like trying to figure out who the voice actor is. And
I actually wanted more of these characters for all the voices. Dave Coolier fucking
Chameleon, Steve Carell is Blue, Phoebe Waller Bridges Blossom, Louis Gosset,
Juniors Lewis. Those were our three main ones. They were all very good.
Aquafina as Bubble, Emily Blut as Unicorn, Bradley Cooper as Ice,
Matt Damon as Flower, Bill Hayter as Banana, Richard Jenkins is art teacher
Keegan, Michael Key as Slime, Blake Lively as Octopus, Sebastian Man of
Scalcol as Magician Mouse, Christopher Maloney as Cosmo, Matthew Reese is Sam Rockwell
is Guardian Dog, Maya Rudolph as Alligator, Amy Schumer is Gummy Bear,
John Stewart as Robot and Gugh. Brad Pitt is in here as a character
named Keith, which I really enjoyed doing the prep for this, So in
the movie we see the character, Actually we don't see the character Keith.
The character named Keith has mentioned three times because he's in a visible imaginary Friend,
so it's sort of an ode to Cameo in Deadpool. So that made
me laugh going through this. I wish I had known that going in.
Qu I'm glad you asked me about Pixar. Here my initial thoughts and this
is what I tweeted out like fifteen minutes after I saw the movie is this
movie has some issues. And my main issue with it is it's not as
fun as the premise promises or as that voice cast promises. It's just like
falls victim to that same issue that a lot of the modern Pixar does.
Who is this four? Is it four six year olds? Is it four
adults? Because this sort of met in the middle there. Now, the
theater was decently full with kids who mostly enjoyed it didn't really talk through it,
so it did entertain kids enough, but like I wanted either a little
bit more of a serious tone to make it more adult oriented, or go
full all out and spend more time in this like imaginary world, and it
didn't do either of those two things. So there is still like a nice,
hot, heartfelt story at the bottom of this, and like at the
end, you still have a little heartwarming feeling and you laugh a few times
throughout it. Just this was like promise not delivered. You know. I
have it at twenty eight Hot Dogs my number eight movie of twenty twenty four,
and that, like twenty eight range is usually movies that I really wanted
to like and it was disappointing, or movies that should have been terrible but
like kind of outkicked their coverage. I just wanted more from this, and
this is one of the movies I was looking forward to most for this year
because I thought that with Krasinski and Reynolds involved, it was this sort of
passion project that was really gonna hit those two markets for kids and adults,
and you get what they're going for in here. It just doesn't quite hit
the mark. But like it's still like if I didn't go in with my
expectation, I think I would have liked it a little bit more. It's
still an enjoyable movie, and obviously you see that with eighty nine percent from
the audience, but as far as the critics go in the forties there,
I totally totally get that question. Third and final question on this movie,
and if you don't want any spoilers. Gip ahead about thirty seconds. Mac
is Ryan Reynolds imaginary. Ryan Reynolds is imaginary. And that's the other thing
about this is like it's really obvious what's gonna happen in the movie, So
as a little kid, you wouldn't say as someone who hasn't seen the movie,
yes, yes, that was like pretty clear that that was going to
be the whole plot twist. It is a nice so the way they do
that is actually pretty good, even though there you know that's going to happen
the whole time. I really like the way they handle that. It's just
that movie could have been way better as it is. It's good enough,
kind of like and Detective Pikachu he was the dad. Yes, it is
exactly like Detective Pikachu, another Ryan Reynolds movie. How about that it's easy
to make connections sometimes crossing over right there, dude? Next up, Unfrosted.
Unfrosted came out on May third on Netflix, and I have to talk
about you able to sit through this in one sitting. This was one of
the weirdest experiences I've had watching a movie in a while, because I thought
it was gonna be way worse than it was. Granted, this movie is
terrible, don't get me wrong. I was expecting all time bad and it's
not quite that, which is what I want to talk about it. So
this is PG thirteen, like I said on Netflix currently biographical comedy history.
Run time of ninety seven minutes, so it's not super long. Roddy T's
forty three percent from the critics, fifty one percent from the audience, So
everyone's just so fucking confused the way I am. On Metacritic of forty two
this movie. First of all, this should be the main gripe right here.
This movie never should have got made. This is written by Jerry Seinfeld,
Spike Fahrenstein, Andy Robin, and Barry Martyr, the team that gave
you b movie. I don't know why they would ever reunite. I don't
know why anyone would sign off on them reuniting, but they all wanted to.
Again, take twenty five percent credit for this fucking terrible movie. Obviously
we know Seinfeld. Farenston was also a writer on Letterman for years. He
did some Seinfeld stuff. Andy Robin wrote for SNL, did some Seinfeld stuff.
Barry Martyr did a nightstand one of your favorite studius. Yeah again,
I just why on earth would you reunite this crew from what was B Movie?
Two thousand and five, two thousand and six. Yes, and Seinfeld
also recently, like a coward, apologize for the sexual undertones of B movie
Grow. Also, this is Jerry Seinfeld's directorial debut. He didn't want to
know, he wanted the right project. I just everything surrounded this movie is
fucking bizarre. Synopsis In nineteen sixty three, Michigan Business rivals Kellogg's and Post
compete to create We had a Cake that could change Breakfast Forever. This movie
stars Seinfeld as Bob Cabana, Rachel Harris is his wife and a Kabana,
Christen Slater's Mike Diamond, Jim Gaffigel Jim Gaffigan as Edzel Kellogg the third and
actually this movie is has even like a longer cameo list than if does,
so I'm not gonna do. It's not even worth going through. You could
subtitle this movie cameo or Cameo the movie. But what made me laugh like
three times in this movie is Kyle Mooney, mikey Day and Drew Tarvor as
Snap crackle and pop. They were fucking super funny, and that when they
were involved. I wanted more of like that humor. It just they didn't.
They weren't in it enough, and it was it was so heavy on
Seinfeld and Gil. I think we now that we're twenty five years clear of
the end of Seinfeld, I think it's pretty clear that like that show was
funny because of Larry David, not Jerry Seinfeld. Larry David wasn't he wasn't
a writer on the show for all nine seasons. I understand that, but
he was involved in the way that show got made and it being called Seinfeld.
I mean, I think we can I think we can confidently say that
that show was ever as funny as it was because of Larry David. So
maybe that's manifested itself too, because it's not like Seinfeld did a ton of
work after that show, not that he had to. I don't think he
had to do a lot of work after the show. Fair I will say,
I do enjoy comedians and cars getting coffee, but consistently he's the worst
part of that show. The guests are the best part of the show.
But also, I mean, you're going up against three of the best character
actors or sitcom actors of all time. No, I'm talking about comedians and
cars. I'm talking about his character. No, you know what, I'll
say the same thing for that show too. Yeah. Again. Thirty minutes
into this movie, I was like, this could be the worst movie of
all time. But then like the next thirty minutes they did enough funky weirdness
that I was like, oh shit, they should be doing more of this,
and they're just doing a smidge of this. There's a version of this
movie that could have worked if it wasn't written in starring Seinfeld, if there
was someone else in the driver's seat there, I think it could have worked,
maybe not killed it, but worked to a much better degree. I
really did like a couple of the things they were trying to do in here.
They just simply couldn't execute it. But this movie is not like biographically
accurate at all. They just took like two or three breadcrumbs and made the
story from that. So I like the idea, like, who really cares
about the true history of the pop tart? You might as well make a
fun movie, which is what they were going for here. They just didn't
achieve that again, I can't underscore how terrible Seinfeld is in here, and
the writing is also really bad. But when they did and there was a
couple other characters like snap, crackle and pop that killed me, there was
just not enough of that. There should have been more of that. So
I got this at like eighteen nineteen hot Dogs. It's probably there's still two
or three movies on the year I like less than this. I don't think
it's worth watching, don't get me wrong, And obviously eighteen nineteen is not
a good score, but there is for those that have watched it to hear
from them, because I wonder if they would agree with me that there is
a version of this movie that could have worked, but as is, it's
pretty bad. Questions three, you have already kind of answered one of them.
I was gonna ask you was this funny? I laughed a couple times,
Yeah I did. That's good overall not funny though. Number two is
was this just a parody of all of the corporate dramedies that came out last
year? So they are maybe doing that, But again, it was hard
to do parody with Jerry Seinfeld because like, he just should not have been
in this role. He is such an unbelievably bad actor when he's not playing
himself that it's really hard to get behind any scene he's in. So I
do think they were parodying that stuff a little bit. But the more fun
stuff in here was all the people playing these mascots and these characters that like
in nineteen sixties, it's just funny, Like that dynamic was funny. They
didn't do enough of that. I forgot my third question. All right,
good enough. I just it was on Netflix. It was like a fucking
Friday morning. I had nothing to do. I watched on Frost and I
don't recommend it, but if you did, I'd like to hear from you.
Go next up movie. I have still yet to see. I've almost
pulled the trigger a couple of times Challengers. Challengers hit theaters on April twenty
sixth. This is an R rated sexy tennis drama with a run time of
one hundred and thirty one minutes just over two hours on Roddy teez eighty nine
percent from the critics, seventy three from the audience, and eighty two on
Metacritics, So critics are very much enjoying this. The director Luca Guadarninho is
always done well with critics written by Justice Justin Kurridziki's It's a nice Greek name
for you there. This stars Mike Feist, Josh O'Connor, and Zendeiya in
their sexy Threattle synopsis. Tashi, a former tennis prodigy turned coach, turned
her ex husband into a champion, but to overcome a losing streak, he
needs to face his ex best friend and Tashi's ex boyfriend, right right,
right, So first off, number one, the biggest thing here, it
is being sold as the sexiest movie in a long time, not that sexy.
I don't know if it's being sold as a sexist movie of all time,
but it's not all time. But like recent history, a lot of
critics are a lot of critics are starting their thing that this is so sexy.
It's not that sexy, Okay. My main question here, yeah,
is how many time jumps there are in this movie? Oh this is a
yeah, it's yeah. It's a nonlinear timeline of just going back and forth
between now back then, you know, making the characters look a little bit
younger. Zendeia is great in this and the two other actors are also very
good. I'm not the biggest fan of the Trent Reznor score in this.
I think a lot of people love it and they think it plays up the
action. I think it's actually kind of distracting when watching the movie. I
also don't love the action of the tennis in this. They do a lot
of pov from the ball, which I don't necessarily love. I found a
lot of it, and I've seen people that love the fact that the conversations
it's like a tennis match of going back and forth. Gotcha, gotcha.
So they're saying the writing is the strong, but I would argue that every
conversation is people talking back and forth. Yeah, but not in a tennis
match way. Some people don't care about when they are losing the point.
I would argue most conversations of people just trying to run out the clock.
Here. It's like me on this podcast. Yeah. I was pretty excited
when this movie got announced, and then as it got up to it,
I was less excited. But then it was scoring really well with critics,
and then when you saw and kind of gave me that review, it kind
of knocked me down another peg. So I haven't paid to see it.
It should be streaming pretty soon, I'm assuming. But this is like,
if you look up best movies of the first half of twenty twenty four,
a lot of critics, a lot of critics like this. The audience,
what do you say the audience gave it? Yeah, I think a lot
of the audience is like they love certain parts of it, they don't necessarily
love it. And I would also I thought a lot of it was pretty
obvious of what was gonna happen, because you're you're dealing with you know,
it's a bit of a love triangle where you have an alpha and you have
a beta. Where do you think that this strong female character is gonna often
go to? Yeah, no, that's true. Now, I did hear
they hang down in this movie? Is that true? Right? So also
keep this in mind. I think movies moving forward is that when you see
that there's nudity, strong graphic nudity, just assume cock uh. Nothing from
Zendea though, right, here's some thought action. There is some seed through
shirts. Let me ask you this. Now, this is a movie that
I don't think we'll have time to talk about the end. But you did
see recently, yes, anyone, but you Sidney Sweeny. A couple sexy
scenes in that was that movie sexier than this movie? Might give it the
sexy edge, just a slight sexy edge, anyone, but you over this,
yes, slight sexy edge, all right, Well that movie was sexy
though, Yeah, that sexy. No I okay, I said it is
sexy, just not the sexiest movie in a while. I've seen sexier movies
recently. And then also, they do something at the beginning of this movie
and I'm like, I bet that's gonna come back into play later and it
does. Okay, all right, so you it sounds like your main gripe,
honestly, is the direction you didn't care for Luca Guadino's POV. I
guess my main gripe is the lack of sexiness, because I was expecting I
was expecting a porno full yeah, constant penny. But I think it has
to do with that. You you're pissed the day it didn't go air tight,
the story of settling on the simp and assuming that she's just gonna stick
it out with this guy that that was that was never gonna happen. I
think people get bored, they're regular You know what this movie. Have you
heard of book talk? Gu It's mostly like thirty year old women plus that
are like seeking sexiness in their life, so they love these sexy books.
That's what this movie is for, isn't it. It's for those of us
who love Bridgerton? Uh? What did you give this for? Dogs?
By the way, I think around like a thirty Like, once again,
I don't hate it. I just wanted more sex fair enough. Who couldn't
agree with that? Also? What a what a deceiving trailer as well?
What a deceiving trailer? They show these three on a bed and you're like,
Oh, we're gonna see something here, Yeah, we don't. Maybe
a little skiing action, yeah. Next up is Abigail. Abigail came out
able nineteenth in theaters. I believe it's digitally streaming right now. I don't
know if it's that one where you gotta pay the full fucking twenty bucks or
if it's at rentable status in the moment. This is a rate in R
Horror and Thriller with a runtime of one hundred and nine minutes on Roddy.
T's eighty three percent from the critics, eighty five percent from the audience a
sixty two on Metacritic, which is probably more how I'm feeling about it.
Written by Steven Shields and Gary Busick not Busy but Busick, Oh guy,
Sorry, not Gary, So that would be a massive change there. You
know, you might know him from Ready or Not Castle Rock in each of
the last two Scream movies five, Cream and Scream six. This is directed
by the team behind those three movies Ready or Not in the last two screen
movies, Matt Bettanelly Open, and Tyler Gillett. So these are guys that
have sort of been making these pseudo horror movies the last decade or so.
Synopsis. After a group of criminals kidnapped the ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld
figure, they retreat to an isolated mansion, unaware that they're locked inside with
no normal little girl. This stars Melissa Barrera as Joey. You would know
her from those two screen movies, Dan Stevens as Frank, who's pretty good
in this. Alicia Ware plays the titular character Aba Gil William Catlett as Rick,
Catherine Newton as Sammy. Kevin Durand is Peter Angus Cloud which I believe
Duran He's the one that durand is also the one that does the mocap for
the mean guy in the Apes movie. I believe this is Angus Cloud's last
movie. Here Goo as Dean, John Carlasposito as Lambert, and Matthew Good
as the father. So pretty strong cast, and I would say they were
all pretty good. I just didn't really care about the type of horror in
this movie. So she's a vampire, The little girl's a vampire. The
whole premise of this movie is they kidnapped this little girl for a ransom and
then like twenty five minutes in they realize she's not a little girl, she's
a vampire and they're stuck in this out with house with her. So a
fun enough premise. But I like my horror movies like really really scary,
and anything vampire centric is not at all for me. So the characters are
good in here, like each character type is like established well and you you
also know exactly what's gonna happen because of the character types. There are gonna
be some people that like this movie a whole lot more than me that if
you like these like sort of pseudo horror movies that aren't really horror, but
are kind of darkly funny. This might be up your alley. Like when
I watched this movie, I was like, I bet Keith's really gonna like
this movie. That was my main takeaway. I got it at twenty six
hot Dogs. It's my number ten movie of twenty twenty four. I'll say
there's plenty of good stuff in here to make it a baseline like decent movie.
I just hate vampire stuff. It doesn't do it for me, So
I want different horror movies personally. Yeah, you get nothing on that out.
It sounds great, It sounds Dracula. Next up, Civil War.
Civil War came out April twelfth. This is an R rated. I'm having
trouble classifying this movie based on what you have said about it. So it's
an investigative journalist drama essentially, that's what you would call it. Run time
of one hundred and nine minutes, so under two hours on roddy teaz,
eighty one percent from the critics, seventy from the audience, seventy five on
Metacritics. So again, the critics are liking this, not loving it,
but liking it quite a bit. Uh. The writer and director is Alex
Garland, who's done a number of pretty good sci fi projects to this point,
is this Is this a lot of sci Fhi? Is it not much?
No, it's it's a post It's not apocalyptic. It's like a post
It's in the future of like, hey, what could happen here? Okay?
The stars Kirsen, duns Wagner, Mora, Kaylee Spanning, Jesse Plemmons,
and a couple other womens does not star on this movie. He is
in one scene. All right, fair enough, well, plemonade. He
made plemenade this if not for nothing, we got plemonade out of this movie.
Synopsis A journey across a dystopian I think that's the word you were you
were searching for. I did put this in there earlier. Yes, dystopiansopian
future America, following a team of military embedded journalists as they race against time
to each Washington, d C. Before rebel factions descend upon the White House.
Now that synopsis and this trailer make this movie out to be like this
heart like a Sacario type actually is what I felt like. This was gonna
be. Heart racing wise. By the way, I haven't seen this movie
yet. For the folks at all. I think the biggest issue here is
what we saw in the trailers, what we saw on the movie posters,
and also the name of the movie being Civil War, and you're expecting this
to be more about the war. Why are we at this? Civil War?
Is a side being picked as to you know, like how we got
here. But the fact that this movie really has nothing to do with the
Civil War, Like they go out of their way to have it be Texas
and California that has left the nation, and that is that is the side
of obviously two states that don't agree in real life. So this movie really
just has to do with those reporters trying to go from New York to Washington
to get a quote from the president who was in his third term. That
is the only thing that they kind of put their neck on the line.
You can go beyond two terms in this world now too, nick Offerman,
Yes, that's interesting. Now, this movie gets less and less interesting as
a day's pass. I missed the screen for this, and then the minute
I heard what this movie was about, I was like, oh, I
don't think I'm gonna see that one for a while. If you had to
give the folks a recommendation. First of all, what's your dog score for
this? I think I have it around like a thirty one. Once you
get past the fact that this movie really has nothing to do with war or
about Iron Man versus Captain America or about the Guns N' Roses song. Sure,
like, Okay, this is a very well acted movie. All four
leads are great in it. And then of course the plemb in seed is
one of the best heart racing scenes that you'll see in a while, but
I don't think I loved it. And also, like I said with the
Zindia movie, there's some really predictable stuff here that once you get to it,
you're like, oh, I was waiting for this. So my question
then is obviously two movies that you kind of found middling, what would you
recommend, like if these were both streaming digitally tomorrow Challengers or Civil War?
Maybe Civil War because I love that plembing scene. Okay, so well you
didn't ride the fence there, so credit to you. You made it,
You made a decision. I could have rowed defense like the makers of this
movie. The title, by the way, the title really is the most
disingenuous title sense, no Time to Die where James Bond had more than enough
time to die. Did this did the movie lose like two dogs because of
the title of the movie. I really think like he got people in the
door with civil war and then everyone sat there and said, where is my
civil war now? Just based off the way you've described the two movies,
I would lean Challengers strictly for the Zundeia thong scene over the plemonade scene.
I don't know in this movie who anyone was rooting for, like what side
anyone was on, So that I will what I did read about this movie
because I was interested when it first came out. That was very intentional.
They didn't want anything like that, to be clear. They basically wanted each
viewer to have I kind of appreciate that, like the pleming scene, you
don't even know what side Plemons is on, and he's a horrible person.
It's a really bad guy. Yeah. Is there is there any Zindeia type
of thong scene in this thong in this movie? Too? They no,
No, nothing sexy in this movie. But also they never told this this
movie was sexy. It's true that did to tell you it was a ward
filmed tell me was one failed on the sex aspect, one failed on the
war aspect. Is that my own personal problem where I'm like, I was
expecting this and we didn't get this. No, so I so I think
on civil war, Uh, that's an everyone problem, challengers, that seems
to be a little more personal for you. Yeah, but I sexy.
I want sexy. So this is both a commentary on you and I and
the people reviewing these movies. The amount of hours logged into porn between you
and I, based on the people reviewing this movies means that automatically that is
not going to be as sexy to us as it is to them. No,
I think that in a regular movie that is not pornography, if you
do something a little sexy, I'll give it a little like, oh,
that's that's pretty sexy, Like the girl next door? Can I come in?
I'm away, Can I come in? Yes? That's my first thought
immediately is always the girl next door. Well, I'm trying to think of
like a non R rated sexy movie. That's all right. First thing came
up, is it? Yeah? R rated? And then you watch the
unrated version? Two? All right, Well, there you go. We're
experts on sex over here. A sex part program. Next up, speaking
of X Godzilla X Kong, the New Empire. This hit theaters on March
twenty ninth. It is currently digitally streaming. It is a PG thirteen action
adventure in fantasy just under two hours. That's one hundred and fifteen minutes on
roddy teaz again a big split, fifty four percent from the critics, ninety
one percent from the audience. The critics gave it a forty seven on Metacritic.
And to put that in context, because this is the fifth movie in
this franchise that began in twenty fourteen. Godzilla in fourteen got a seventy six
sixty six split, Skull Island got a seventy five seventy split. King of
the Monsters in twenty nineteen got a forty two to eighty three split. That
movie's not very good. I don't know how that has had the highest audience
score up to that point. Godzilla verse Kong in twenty twenty one, which
I thought was better than King of the Monsters are probably not as good as
Skull Island that got seventy six ninety one. A lot of people really like
that. However, that movie I think is like skewed By that was one
of the bigger releases after COVID, so I think people just really wanted to
see a popcorn movie. And on Metacritic, the twenty fourteen Godzilla got a
sixty two, Skull Island got a sixty two. King of the Monsters of
forty eight, Godzilliver's Kan of fifty nine. So I think, really those
first two Godzilla and Skull Island are a little bit different than these last three.
These last three have been sort of crossover or bigger, really actual monster
movies as opposed to those first two, which are monster movies but rely so
heavily on the human characters for better or worse. This movie is written by
Terry Rossio, who you would know from Aladdin, Shrek, a couple Pirates
movies, Deja Vu, and Godzillaver's Khan. Quite the career he's had if
you like him. He's doing the upcoming Johnny Quest movie as well as one
of those Pirates reboots or spinoffs, whatever direction you're going there. Adam Wininguard
and Simon Barrett. Simon Barrett wrote VHS and Blair Witch. This is directed
by Adam winding Guard, who directed VHS Blair Witch in Godzilla Verse Kong Synopsis.
Two ancient titans, Godzilla and Kong clash in an epic battle as humans
unravel their intertwined origins and connection to Skull Islands mysteries. This stars Rebecca Hall
as Eileen Andrews. We saw her in the last movie. Brian Tyree Henry
is Bernie Hayes. We saw him in the last movie, I believe too,
Dan Stevens' new character as Trapper, and Kaylee Hoddle as Gia. We
saw her in the last movie as well. So the big thing here is
in the last movie they introduced this like hollow Earth concept where all these monsters
came from, which is like neither here nor there. It's like, I
guess when you come to these movies, you obviously have to suspend disbelief,
but at a certain point, like things gonna make sense too. And I
feel like nothing in this universe makes sense. Yeah, I have not been
pulled in to see this. There's like there's nothing. And I liked the
last movie to a certain degree. I really liked Kong Skull Island, but
the Godzilla stuff just doesn't do it for me. Yeah, I agree,
the Zilla stuff is the weakest stuff. That twenty fourteen Godzilla movie. I
don't even know if I've seen it from beginning to end in one sitting.
I've definitely seen the movie, but I think it's like over six sittings a
skull Island. I think I gave it twenty seven hot Dogs, which I
liked it, but that felt like a wasted opportunity with the actors they had
in that movie. No, no, John c Riley was pretty sweet.
They just wasted him though, Like I don't know now, he came in
right at the right Tom Hddlston Brelas and John c. O'Reilly, and neither
were John c Riley O'Reilly, fuck you, oh oh'iley. King of the
Monsters. I had and like nineteen or twenty didn't care for that. The
most recent movie, Godzillivers Kan twenty twenty one. I think I gave that
twenty five, so just above the equator, but like it's your classic popcorn
movie, like it tried to do a little bit too much of the human
story, and this is a lot like that one. I have this at
twenty four hot Dogs, number twelve movie of twenty twenty four Again, they
really love inserting the human characters into this fucking gigantic battle among these titans.
You get introduced to a group of people that have been living in this hollow
earth. Like some of it's just like ah, right, like mole people.
What's that? Were they mole people? No, you just want to
get to like the big monster fights. So like, it does a decent
job with that. The villain is probably better, The monster villain is probably
right. Yeah, it's like a different type of Epeh who's been living in
hollow Earth for thousands of years, and Godzilla gets a metal upgrade on his
arm. They also introduced an ice dragon to battle against Godzilla. So like,
once you get into the thick of things here, there's a decent like
monster movie. Again, there's just way too much human stuff. So it's
a lot like the last one. If you liked the last one, you're
probably gonna like this. If you didn't like the last one, I don't
think you're gonna like this. But if it's once it's free streaming and you're
looking for a popcorn movie, this this might be up your alley. Next
one up late night with the double y March twenty second. This was in
theaters. Briefly, this is currently streaming for free on ABC Plus. Otherwise
you got to rent it. This is a rate and R horror movie with
a run time of an hour and thirty three minutes ninety three minutes. Pretty
crisp, in and out on Roddy t's ninety seven percent from the critics,
eighty one percent from the audience on Metacritic of seventy two. The writers on
this movie are the same as the directors, Cameron Carns and Colin Karnes.
I'm assuming brothers, maybe lovers. Who knows? This stars David Desmalchin,
Laara Gordon, and Ian Bliss. The premise, a live television broadcast in
nineteen seventy seven, goes horribly wrong on leasing evil into the nation's living rooms,
gues right off the top here. My favorite thing about this movie was
that it was kind of set in the real world nineteen seventy seven, like
they allude to real life things. I enjoyed that. So I love the
feel of this. I love how it's a period piece. I love David
dismalshon, I love the ninety minute runtime, and I like how the the
horror was not over the top. It felt like, so there's a possession
in this movie. But it didn't. It wasn't this like crazy, this
couldn't happen type of thing. It was just a little girl was taken over.
I thought this was on the verge of being a great movie, but
it just sort of never really crossed over into great territory to me. I
enjoyed it. I was intrigued by it the whole time. It just never
did anything that made me say, oh, that was cool or oh that
was awesome. It just was like it was perpetually like, ah, this
is decent. I would say the last five ish minutes. I'm not even
sure how long that last sequence was. It was like a fever dream at
the end. There. The fever dream at the end had me saying,
what the hell? Yeah? What? Which was great. I actually I
really liked that sequence. So a lot of this movie is build up too
to that last like fifteen minutes, and that last fifteen minutes is definitely the
best part of the movie. I just could have used more of that last
fifteen and a little less of the build up. They really want to immerse
you in this nineteen ninety seven nineteen seventy seven era and they do a good
job of that, however, that takes a while. All of that is
a while, and you're also pretty intrigued in the relationship between des Melchin's character
and the psychologist. Yeah, and you don't get really any backstory to that,
which was obviously a decision they made. I bet there's another cut of
this movie that's like twenty minutes longer that has more of that. I didn't
need it. Though, I didn't need it. I needed a little something
to punch it up. I liked this movie, but I thought it was
gonna be great and just never quite got there. So I gave this thirty
hot dogs. That might be a little low, This might be boring like
the thirty two range number seven movie of twenty twenty four for me, But
this is pretty good and more of the horror I like. Now. It
is dealing with possession, but they they they keep it in an element of
realism for long enough that you're like, Okay, I'm buying into sort of
what they're going for here. I also love how the entire you feel like,
Oh, David iss Melchin's character, he's a really nice guy, but
you can also tell that he's a great, big television phony and doesn't really
care what anyone else thinks besides himself. They also purposefully and again that's why
I say there's definitely another version of this movie that maybe the directors intended originally.
They set up this whole thing with him in the woods in California,
stuff that you feel like they're gonna pay off at some point, and they
just don't. Well, they kind of do at the end. No,
they don't just go. It goes by the wayside, because then you're thinking,
in your head, Okay, this demon is sort of connected to that
group of people, and they just never make that connection. They just never
do that. So that was a little frustrating too. So I did feel
like this got cut up a little more by the studio than the directors would
have wanted. I feel like the director's cut of this movie is probably four
or six dogs better than what we got. Did anything in this movie scare
you no? And that was a little little frustrating too. Again, it
was getting to the point where I was uneasy, but I was never really
scared. Like it may be uneasy enough that I was like on the edge
of my seat, but like I never was outright scared. Of what was
going on screen. Yeah, the uneasy stuff is definitely there because I love
the look of like the vasilyne camera of what the nineteen seventies was, and
then it was more just interesting than anything else by the end. Yes,
that's a good word for it. The girl that plays the main like horror
character here, she did a great job. She was fucking great and most
of what she had to do was just like facial work, you know.
So credit to her. She's gonna have a pretty good acting career. I'm
guessing I didn't notice her from anything prior than that. But I liked this
movie. Again, I think there's a much better version of it. This
was it was trending down that path. But it is a fun little horror
movie. I got it at thirty two, Yeah, so maybe that's what
I should have it. I got a thirty, but I think it's in
that range. Next up is Snackshack. Snackshack was in theaters briefly I think
March thirteenth, currently streaming digitally. This is a rated R like nineteen seventies
nineteen eighties period piece. When is this early nineteen nineties nineties hour and fifty
two minutes just under two hours on roddy t seventy seven percent from the critics,
eighty eight percent from the audience, a sixty four and Metacritic. Written
and directed by Adam ray Meyer Remier Ramyer. I don't know how to pronounce
that. Nebraska City, nineteen ninety one. Two best friends get the chance
to run the swimming pool snackshack that later comes to be the perfect scenario for
transgression, fun, personal discovery, and romance. The stars of this are
Connor Sherry, Gabriel Label, and Mika Abdalla. This movie is like spiritual
sequel is not the word, but it operates in the same world that like
what Hot American Summer does, but not in that silly fashion. So are
you thinking this is more like Days and Confused type? Yes, absolutely,
I think it's more like that. And this movie because I had no knowledge
of it, it just popped up. It was an absolute pleasant surprise.
I had a really fun time with it. I thought all of the actors
and it were great. I thought some stuff was a little over the top
and the you know, like when the girl first meets the boy, she
starts calling them like shit pig or something like that, like break the or
something like people. People don't do the whole movie. Yeah, people don't
don't do that. They're just a little bit nicer. And while there is
something in this movie that I hate, I hate the ending of it.
I hate what brings the characters back together. Yeah, the last like ten
minutes sucked at I hated that. But there was a scene in this that
I absolutely loved. And that is because both of the main characters you forget
this at points, because they're running a business and they have a gambling thing.
At the beginning, they're trying to sell booze at one point, but
they're fourteen year old boys. Yeah, and there's a scene where they're just
shopping with their moms and they run into each other, and I fucking loved
that scene. And the main characters are shopping with his mom and he picks
up a bag of Popper's like can we get this? I don't know why
I thought that was so good. I thought it was so charming of like
I remembered back to being like that and just being like, hey mom,
can we get this? Yeah? My so I agree. There there's like
a thirty to forty minute span this movie where it's a lot of fun.
Yeah, I just had such a hard time buying into that girl, who
is a very attractive female, even giving the time of day to these two
fucking nerds like that was never gets a lot Like Challengers, she would have
been definitely more interested in the lifeguard kid that we've seen in a couple of
things before. I like this movie. This movie had the fun vibes.
Yeah, it just never so I guess it's yeah, I guess you're right.
It's probably is More Days and Confused. But it's not nearly as good
as that. No, no, no, it's not as good as that.
It doesn't have the same type of characters throughout any of the memorable characters
they need. They needed more, like how Dais and Confused has like forty
characters. They needed to round out their characters more instead of keeping it so
contained. I mean, I think it's a charming period piece, and I
like the coming of age story of it, and I just love the fact
that, like every once in a while, you forget how old they are
and then they pop They're like, oh, it's it's just a kid.
Yeah. I had a little bit of a trouble with that too. They
felt like they were seventeen, not thirteen. It felt at points like they
were about to be going to college or something as opposed to be just be
going to high school. If they felt more super bad age, then they
did fucking freshmen in high school. So yeah, that was a little tough
to buy as well. I did like the dynamic between the two and again
like the high jinks that gets involved with the snackshack is pretty good. They
just should have they should have done more. But again, this is a
pretty small budget movie. Yea. I think if if this had had a
bigger budget, it would have been better. But I agree a generally enjoyable
movie. I was expecting this to be like a fifteen dog movie, and
I gave it I think twenty seven. Yeah, I would say I'm right
around like twenty eight, twenty nine. It's much better than it has any
business being. I have it, so it's my number nine movie of twenty
twenty four. It's definitely it's enjoyable enough to give it a free It's just
that something happens so abruptly with fifteen minutes left. Yeah, that you know,
brings all the characters back together that I hated, and the two friends
are a bit too extreme, like they should have been a little more similar
than they were. That was like the shithead friend, it's too big of
a shithead for me, Like that was a little much, But again,
we're dealing with low budget and actors most of us have never seen, so
for that, it does a pretty damn good job. Let's get into Masac
Maxak could be an, it could be a boat and Mac, has this
ever happened to you? You're walking around New York City, the air is
just it's too moist, and your hair cannot handle it. Moist and your
hair just can't handle it. Your your big bouffont is just flopping in your
face and you need to leave your family to get a haircut. I can't
say that's ever happened to me, but I will say the humidity of Memorial
Day weekend was quite high, and as a fellow that was just trying to
tan his bald head bald head, I had to wear a ball cap most
of the weekend to catch the sweat. It was warm out there. If
you look at last episode, I have a full head of hair which I
would love to get more haircuts, but they're too expensive and work schedule not
great with when barbers are open. I was in New York and I was
losing my mind. If there was a razor on the subway, I would
have bicked my head. Yeah. This is for for a fella who cares
a lot about his hair. You I almost threw it all away. I
didn't care choice. So you went to a random barbershop in New York City
and just got a haircut. I said, hey, can you please cut
my hair? Yes, please cut my hair now? And what's what's what's
the uh the what's the word I'm looking for? What's the general consensus on
the haircut? I have the issue of when I don't pay attention to it
and I just wake up, it turns into a fauxhawk. And my wife
thinks it looks stupid. Okay, all right. From this perspective, looking
at you in Harry Potter's closet, I think it looks fine. You know
what I tell fine? Well, thank you. I actually I actually brushed
my hair this morning. I spent time and I brushed my hair. You
know what I did is I then took the brush and I brushed my mustache.
Your mustache does look very nice and feathered out. Thank you. Thank
you. I took the time and I thought to myself, I might buy
a mustache comb. Well, if you're going to continue to wear the stick
as you're currently wearing it, you definitely need one, that's for sure.
Now that I'm staring at your hair, yeah, I agree with your wife.
There's less natural gooflop and more uppity faux hawk types. That's because I
said take as much off the top as possible. I was in a panic
on Saturday, so it was so basically now, I did grow my hair
out long enough once, but more hockey flow back and less up and yeah,
you look like Benjamin Franklin. Essentially. What happens was your hair just
too heavy. My hair was just it was too heavy. And it was
happening to like my wife too, but she at least has like the mid
part. Yeah, and it was just flopping over my face and it was
it goes beyond my nose, So I'm like trying to pull it over and
shit, you looked like Battinson. Yeah. I could not handle it.
I couldn't handle it. Oh man, Yeah that's not great. No,
it's I hated it. Do we even need your part of the sac?
I thought, well, I feel part of it is. Uh So,
May was supposed to be a pretty good month for movies and it turned out
to not be so much and on the horizon is not great good. The
next cup the first couple weeks of June, we get Bad Boys for the
Watchers, which is the Shammelain Daughter movie, and inside Out So maybe inside
Out two is our next movie episode. Yeah, it's a weird in between
here prequel. That's the beginning of July. It might be the end of
June, might be the last week of June. Yeah, and then Deadpool
two I think is first week of July or second week of July. Uh
So, we have what shamping up to be a good couple months of movies
and it's ending up not being so good at all. But again, maybe
Furiosa is that movie that we've both missed. So I don't know, but
yeah, we gotta we gotta figure out what we gotta do. The next
