WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:00.400 Bucky. 2 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:03.319 I think my favorite kind of sandwich is a pizza broad. 3 00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:08.160 Oh come on now, why would you? Why would you? 4 00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:09.919 You cannot do that? So I was I'm glad you 5 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.400 mentioned this because I'm an appeal to our crowd. Yes, 6 00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:14.599 please do right at the top of the show, please do. 7 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:19.519 The Wisconsin Timber Ratlers and Apton, Wisconsin local minor league team, 8 00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:21.559 one of the best minor league teams in the country, 9 00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.000 has an annual food fight and they ask fans to 10 00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:29.920 submit a recipe for a different item on their menu. 11 00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:31.960 Could be a burger, could be a sandwich, could be 12 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.159 a side, could be you know, French fries. Whatever. So 13 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.039 this year they chose brats, and one hundred and thirty 14 00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:40.600 people submitted and I was lucky enough to be one 15 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.039 of the finalists. Yes, remind me again what it was. 16 00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:47.600 It is the Grand Southwest Grand Slam. Yes, they did 17 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:49.399 not do it the way I wanted them to do it, 18 00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.520 but that's okay because they have really talented chefs there 19 00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.000 that are going to put it together. I wanted a 20 00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.880 Brios roll, okay, okay, and and they put on a 21 00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:02.119 Brioche pun, which means they split the brat in half. 22 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.560 Halopenno cheddar brought from Salomon's Meads. They split the brought 23 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:08.319 in half and they made an X on it, which 24 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:10.400 I think that's why I'm gonna lose, Like I'm not 25 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.120 going to get chosen, because who's going to want to 26 00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.680 buy that right now? I haven't heard people who've actually 27 00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.560 tasted and said, no, it's phenomenal, like this is I bet? 28 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.560 Nick Vitrano from Kiss FM said I crushed it. Leo said, 29 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.239 Leo tried all five of them, all five that are finalists, 30 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.040 and Leo said that mine was the only one with flavor. 31 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:28.879 Is good? All right? But anyway, So it's a briosch 32 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.000 roll uh spread with avocado crema and then you have 33 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.400 this jalapenno cheddar brought on it top with pickled onions, 34 00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.560 roasted corn, and black bean salsa with cilantro on lime. 35 00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:40.239 It's good stuff. Yeah. 36 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:41.760 I mean, I'd never eat any of them, but I 37 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:43.719 also don't eat sandwiches, so I really am not a 38 00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:45.159 good test of character case. 39 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:46.920 So if you're not going to eat it, that's fine. 40 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.560 Here's how I view for yours, and how do you vote? 41 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.239 Timber Ratlers dot com is where to go or If 42 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.120 you follow Tim Ratlers on Facebook or x they have 43 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.200 posts on there, but the easiest way to go to 44 00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.640 timber ratlers dot com.

This is the mission. 52 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.680 Okay, cool. I only came across it because it was adorable. 53 00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:21.319 I never see you on Facebook ever. But now I'm 54 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.280 a social media guy, as you know, in big time. 55 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.800 I don't really again, like I said this, the only 56 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:28.439 time I post on social media is when I'm promoting myself. Yeah, 57 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.080 and now I'm a final five finalists, and now I'm promoting. 58 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:33.840 Myself and your wife is helping. And I saw her 59 00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.199 post and you went underneath it and put thanks honey. 60 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:36.840 Yeah exactly. 61 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.360 And I liked both her post and your post. And 62 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.800 that's the only reason I knew this was happening. 63 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:46.120 Yes, he posted as well, and our good buddy El Grande. 64 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:47.639 Yeah, I'll get it up there as well. Then I 65 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:49.439 want I want to fit in on this too, then, 66 00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.520 but I'm pulling for you. But I was joking. The 67 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.199 pizza brot probably sucks, probably made by a bad person, 68 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:55.360 So don't vote for that. 69 00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:57.560 I'm not I'm not concerned necessarily that. When there's a 70 00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.599 hot honey brought that I'm not too concerned with. I 71 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:03.520 think that two toughest ones are gonna be the poutine. 72 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.919 There's a poutine one which is great, sounds delicious, and 73 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.080 then the Ruben brought too. I think there's a lot 74 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:11.080 of people that are all about the Ruben. If you 75 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.719 look on social media, if you look on the Post 76 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.599 and the timber Ratlers, you know, when they gave you 77 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.639 the five finalists, it always seems like one. Everybody's saying one, 78 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.000 three and five which is mine, the Ruben brought and 79 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.360 the poutine, and everybody seems to be settling it on 80 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.080 three and five rather than one, which is fine. Yeah, 81 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.400 that's the lame. The Appleton postcrests in the local newspaper. Yeah, 82 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.960 they had a story on it, and they posted the 83 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.840 photo of mine twice in their article, which I think 84 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.840 is good. However, I'm not the main image on that 85 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.199 I think they chose the hot honey brought for that. 86 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:44.560 And then on wl l UK Channel eleven here in 87 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.800 the Fox Valley, they did a story on it and 88 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.840 they used my recipe as the main phoont. 89 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.439 You got to get on your old time slot and 90 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:53.800 make sure that they push it out there as well, 91 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:54.599 because that's yeah. 92 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.039 I mean listen, I've posted on it like I have 93 00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.439 a show. I have a fantasy football show tomorrow, I 94 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:01.560 have one on Friday. I will be pumping that up. 95 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.039 I've had some people that that view my show that 96 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.400 have already said they contacted me on x that they 97 00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.120 voted as well. So okay, we're going nationwide. 98 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:11.960 There we go. I dig that, I dig that. I'm 99 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:13.560 pooling for you, man. We'll see what happens. 100 00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:13.840 Yeah. 101 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.879 I got a good feeling, all right. I honest to god, 102 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:19.839 I could keep talking about this and the show is 103 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.800 called off topic, but I have I have looked forward. 104 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:25.800 Enough to talking about this with you, Balky. 105 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:27.519 I said to you off the air, this was gonna 106 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.000 be my my colde open until I remembered that you 107 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.199 were in the competition. But I was gonna say, like 108 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.240 I'm supposed to be the cynic The Jaded, The Jaded 109 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.879 Movie Guy of the two of us and we are 110 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.360 realistically outside of Anaconda. Twenty twenty six has been a 111 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.439 great year for the podcast really, and these last two 112 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.560 weeks have been absolutely phenomenal. This week of course being 113 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:49.639 and I really have to do this right, good Luck, 114 00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:51.199 Have Fun, Don't Die? 115 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:51.639 Correct? 116 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.240 Okay, yeah, See, to me, having fun is the most 117 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:56.319 important part, so I always want to put that first 118 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:57.560 before good Luck. 119 00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.360 Yeah. It is a little weird, ye you know, to 120 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:02.800 have it, and it comes in into the movie that 121 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.279 there is a this is part of the movie. It's 122 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.639 not just like a random like, oh, we named it 123 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:09.240 this because we thought it was cute. It does have 124 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.360 something new with the movie. But good Luck, Have Fun, 125 00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:16.000 Don't Die is the latest movie that we're reviewing today. 126 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:20.920 It stars Sam rock Bell, Hilly lu Richardson, Zazzi Beats, 127 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.759 Michael Pana. Directed by Gordon Verbinski, who you may remember 128 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.839 directed Rango, the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, 129 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:29.839 and some other things I can. 130 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.759 Which I don't know if you If you knew this 131 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:34.120 about me, I did not know the director of the 132 00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:37.480 Pirates of the Caribean, but the original Pirates is in 133 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.800 my top ten movies. It came out when I was fifteen. 134 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.319 It just like hit at the right time. I saw 135 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:44.199 it in theaters. I actually, I think I might have 136 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:46.680 told this story, but I went to the theaters with 137 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:48.759 my family and might show. They were like, what do 138 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:50.079 you want to see? I think it was like my 139 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.319 birthday or something. Yeah, and my dad was like, I 140 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:54.360 really want to see this Pirates movie. And I was like, 141 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.759 sounds stupid, not interested. Let's do twenty eight days later 142 00:05:57.800 --> 00:05:59.959 because this both came out at the same time. Yeah, exactly, 143 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.519 and I picked that. I was disappointed with that, and 144 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:04.879 I saw Pirates two weeks later in theaters. I was like, 145 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.040 this is one of the greatest things I've ever seen 146 00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:08.600 in my life. And I think it made me hate 147 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:11.160 twenty eight thays later even more that it was so good. 148 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.240 But I love those movies. So when you told me 149 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.920 that yesterday, it's the same director that elevated that elevated 150 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.399 my expectations of this movie, and I would say it's 151 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:24.040 still exceeded what I was expecting when I went to 152 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:24.480 go see it. 153 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:27.000 Personally. I read some critics say that there are very 154 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.639 few directors that could have pulled this movie off, which 155 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:33.240 I don't necessarily agree with, but they said Gord Verbinsky 156 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:35.399 was the right guy for the job, and based on 157 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:41.519 our analysis and viewing of this movie, hard to argue. 158 00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:44.439 I mean it like the as far as the direction goes, 159 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:45.959 as far as really everything goes in this movie, I 160 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.839 don't have a whole lot of complaints. 161 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.959 Not at all, and like to me, I agree with 162 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.079 that sentiment honestly that only certain directors could pull this off, 163 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.319 because I think there's a lot of people and I 164 00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.240 will use an example, and this is someone who I 165 00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.959 did deeply respect as an actor. 166 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.319 Yea, Peter Dinklic. 167 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:05.160 Sure he is what I refer to and I did 168 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.120 not invent this term, but I like using it for him. 169 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.759 I refer to him as lol random, Like he's not 170 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:14.560 funny random, yes, Like it's like, oh, look how wacky 171 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.759 I am, but like it's uh, I include Ryan Reynolds 172 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.560 in that conversation. It's like, look, how strange and quirky 173 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:23.519 I am. And it's like, I don't like you're trying 174 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.240 too hard to be that, Like actual quirky people are 175 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.800 just the best example is Hugh Jackman is a strange, 176 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.959 freaking dude. Yeah, yes, he is way more quirky than 177 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.199 Ryan Renolds. But Ryan Reds is like, look how wacky 178 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.360 I am? And then meanwhile, Hugh Jackman, it's a very 179 00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.000 understated like, Ah, that dude's weird and I like him 180 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:40.240 for it. 181 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.120 All Right, So a couple of things I want to 182 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.639 just piggyback on this. Yeah, Ryan Reynolds, I always think 183 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.279 it's weird for him to be living in real life 184 00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:52.279 because I think myself included view him like the way 185 00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:54.480 he talks in movies, the dialogue he has in movies, 186 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:57.800 and he's kind of type cast. Absolutely absolutely, how does 187 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.399 he do that in real life? It's totally different. I 188 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.399 was watching a Denzel Washington interview today and it's like, 189 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:06.560 how do these guys who are so good on screen 190 00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:10.920 with memorizing lines that were written for them? Like, it's 191 00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:12.920 totally different when you hear him talking real life. And Reynolds, 192 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:15.439 I think it'd be a huge letdown because nobody has 193 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.199 the right one liners like he does. 194 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:20.319 It's like Tony Stark versus although Robert Downey Jr. Is 195 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:22.639 a funny dude in real life, but like it's the 196 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:23.759 same idea he did. 197 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:25.759 They did this thing at the Oscars a few years 198 00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:30.279 ago where they were interviewing all these actors and directors 199 00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:32.480 about what drama is and what film is and what 200 00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:34.440 cinema is, and Robert Towne Junior is one of them, 201 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:36.519 and he was the only one that was like and 202 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:39.320 not poking fun of it, but being funny. Yeah, everybody 203 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.519 else is taking it very seriously. So he's kind of 204 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:44.840 like that in real life. And then I don't agree 205 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:49.679 on Peter Dinklic. I don't believe he's like this quirky like. 206 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:51.960 No, I'm saying he was just recently in the movie 207 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.120 Toxic or Toxic Avenger. 208 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.600 Yeah. He also he had a recurring role in thirty Rock. 209 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:02.559 Anytime he said at that yeah really yeah, anytime he's 210 00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.279 in a comedic role, it's like he's like, oh look, 211 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.399 how like Novenger was just loud and obnoxious, Like it 212 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.320 wasn't funny. I didn't enjoy it very much. And I 213 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:15.960 think I would have liked it more if the lead actor. 214 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.639 I think I would have actually been entertained from a 215 00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:21.639 comedic standpoint, because you knew he thought that he was 216 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:25.240 eating the scenery up and I was just like, ah, man, 217 00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:27.159 you just you don't pull. This isn't the type of 218 00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:30.759 person you are, and that's fine. But I say all 219 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:32.759 that to say this movie could have been the Peter 220 00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.320 dinklinch type of movie. You're like, Ah, you're trying way 221 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.039 too hard to be weird. This hit all. I'm like, 222 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:40.200 oh no, this is the exact level of weird. It 223 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:42.440 doesn't feel like you're trying at all. This just flows. 224 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.879 And that's the best compliment that I can give a 225 00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:45.519 movie like this. 226 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.480 Just real quick to put a button on this. You 227 00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:49.679 know who is like that? For me? John ham Like, 228 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.519 why are you describing? Yeah, tries too hard to be funny. Yeah, 229 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:54.759 there is an SNL like within the last couple of 230 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:57.080 years where they're taking questions from the audience and he was, 231 00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:59.080 you know, one of the plants in the audience, and 232 00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:02.480 his question was, am I funny? You know? He said 233 00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:05.840 that to the host And if you did you watch 234 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.039 the Confess Fletch movie, the latest Fletch movie. That's John 235 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:11.799 Hammond stead Chevy Chase. It was weird because he's such 236 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:13.960 a good looking guy and obviously has this reputation for 237 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.720 Don Draper on Mad Men. It's weird to like see 238 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:19.600 him be comedic like it's just you don't know if 239 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.080 it's if he's dead panting, if he's being serious or whatever. 240 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:25.240 He was in Tag I don't remember in particularly. 241 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:29.440 And then getting back to Dinklage, he was the in 242 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:33.720 the comedy Elf, small small role in that, and I'm 243 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:36.039 like racking my brain. I'm like, what other comedies or 244 00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.240 like whatever comedic roles has he been in. I really 245 00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:40.399 can't think of anything, but Ben I'll bring this up 246 00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:43.960 and if you haven't watched it, he hosted SNL during 247 00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.360 the peak of the powers of Game of Thrones, right, 248 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:51.240 he was hilarious. He did this space pants sketch with 249 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:55.519 Gwen Stefani where he was like this weird dancer at 250 00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:57.879 this club while these gangsters are trying to have like 251 00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:01.120 a meeting to like either kill each other exchange money. 252 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.639 And then he did another one where it was two 253 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:08.399 couples out to dinner at a former brothel in New 254 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:13.399 York City and they had glory holes. I don't know 255 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:15.919 if I can say that on the podcast. Okay, I'm 256 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.799 giving it. They had glory holes in this brothel, right, 257 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:20.879 but they when they redid it and made a restaurant, 258 00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:23.679 they never took the glory holes out, so all the 259 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.679 food to serve through gloryholes. So it's like bread and 260 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:29.600 corn dogs and corn on the cob. And he is 261 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:33.759 just he's not trying to be funny, like he's just funny. 262 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.360 Like it's just hilarious, you know what I mean. But 263 00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:38.639 I did not see Toxic Covender, so I got it 264 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:42.759 right now, and I was excited for that. We talked 265 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:43.879 about doing it on the podcast. 266 00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:47.360 Yeah, that movie came and went very quickly in theaters. 267 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:50.240 But nevertheless, I say. 268 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.000 That, so circle this, circle this back here. You're just 269 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:57.679 saying like, basically, there was a possibility where there could be, 270 00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:01.320 like the movie itself could be trying too hard to 271 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.639 be quirky, to be unique, to be funny in sort 272 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.799 of a I don't know. 273 00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:09.919 The best way I can describe it is when it's 274 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:11.600 when it but it was, it was. 275 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:11.720 It was. 276 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:15.000 It's like when a drama club kid tries to be 277 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:19.000 too weird and you're just like, ah, this sucks. That's 278 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:20.080 that's the way I look. 279 00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.519 At I was watching mal Rats clips the other day, 280 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.240 mm hmm. And this is true of clerks, like any 281 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:29.759 like early Kevin Smith stuff. The dialogue is so weird, 282 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:32.519 so forced, and I don't know if that was intended 283 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:35.519 or not, but like seeing guys like Jason Lee and 284 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.080 Ben Affleck and Ethan Sutley and and I can't remember 285 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.639 it was Jason or Jeremy Lonnon and that it just 286 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.200 it looks like you're watching like a high school yeah, 287 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:46.879 you know. And I don't know if that's intended or not, 288 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:49.600 but it is a little like watching it now. Yeah, 289 00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:53.600 there's there's a certain nostalgic aspect that I enjoyed it, 290 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:56.480 but it's still a little off putting. And I don't know, 291 00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:59.279 I don't know, I mean, is that just I don't know. 292 00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:01.840 I like this tangent and I promise we'll get back 293 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:03.440 to the movie to those of you listening, But I 294 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:09.279 will say I believe Quentin Tarantino changed dialogue in movies 295 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:12.159 all of a sudden. You'd have people in movies talking 296 00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:14.759 about movies talking. We talking the way you and I 297 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.000 do right now, but it would be dialogue in a movie, 298 00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:19.320 and you never really saw it like that before. To me, 299 00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:23.159 Kevin Smith watched that and was like, I'm gonna do that, 300 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.480 but he's not Quentin Tarantino. And I love Kevin Smith, 301 00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:27.720 I love Jay and Silent Bob. I love Clerk's Clerks. 302 00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:29.159 I think the budget for the first one was like 303 00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:31.600 ten thousand dollars made one point six million. I love 304 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.399 that story. Ye, but it's what happens when someone who 305 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.320 maybe isn't as much of an a tour as Quentin 306 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.879 Tarantino is kind of tries his hand more traditional sounding dialogue, 307 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.639 but it just kind of sounds cheesy and outdated in 308 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:47.240 a lot of ways. 309 00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.440 One of my favorite nineties sitcoms is news Radio. I 310 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:52.559 think I've read heard up to you before, and there 311 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:55.559 is one episode where two people were arguing over who 312 00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.240 Mushmouth was and who dumb Donald was on the old 313 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:00.320 Fat Albert Show. Yeah, and all of a sudden, another 314 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.600 character says, Okay, now I feel like I'm gonna Quentin 315 00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:04.840 Tarantino movie because that's the kind of stuff you have, 316 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:08.200 just this random stuff. The whole big Back conversation in 317 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:10.759 the car between Samuel Jackson and John Travolta. Pulp fiction, 318 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:13.679 What the hell's the point of that? But it's legendary now, 319 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.320 like it's it's like it's like baked into like you 320 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:19.120 think of pulp fiction, you think of Libig Meca. 321 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:20.759 You know, like literally a Simpson scene where like they 322 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.480 don't call it a krusty burger with cheese. 323 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.759 So so, so anyway, you could be right on Tarantino 324 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:32.200 because like his his films are you know, it's a 325 00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:32.919 Tarantino movie. 326 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:34.799 When you're watching immediately just from the you don't even 327 00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:36.000 need to watch it, you just need to hear it 328 00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:38.759 and you're like, no, that's uh, that's exactly what I 329 00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:42.879 think exactly. But but yeah, so, I mean, I don't 330 00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:45.240 know how we got on to Kevin Smith from. 331 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:47.559 I don't know either. It's not important. Let's get back 332 00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:50.320 to this movie. The gist of this, the setup of 333 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.879 this is a man from the future claiming to be 334 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:55.159 from the future. I should always say that to set 335 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:57.200 you up. Maybe is from the future, maybe he's not, 336 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:00.519 but he claims to be from the future. And he 337 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:04.559 walks into this Los Angeles diner ten ten at night. 338 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:06.679 I don't know if that was crucial or not, but 339 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:10.080 they made a point of yeah in the movie, and 340 00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:13.679 he basically is dressed kind of weird. He looks very homeless, like, 341 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.159 you know, like he's dressed like a homeless person, and 342 00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:18.519 he claims that the right combination of people are in 343 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:21.559 that diner to save the future of the world, because 344 00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:23.519 he knows what the world turns into and we could 345 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:26.840 save it tonight. And then the whole thing is trying 346 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:29.080 to recruit people. Some people go along with them, some 347 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:32.200 people don't, and the adventures start. I said on your show, 348 00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:34.559 we were talking about this non linear storytelling. We get 349 00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:39.000 some backstories, flashbacks to how these characters came to be 350 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:42.159 in this diner, how they came to be the people 351 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.960 that they were to a certain point, I mean that's 352 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.399 a huge degree. And then we actually get the the 353 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.759 the process and the result. But and maybe we get 354 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:57.080 into themes right away. Obviously the theme hand heavy handed 355 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:01.919 on the role of artificial intelligence. Yeah, and phone usage 356 00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:05.120 and phone usage. And speaking of phone usage, I'm watching 357 00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:07.320 this and I'm on my phone on my phone right now. 358 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:09.120 I'm on my phone all the time then, and I 359 00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:11.919 feel like, God, I I have got to stop. 360 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:14.799 So can I say so, as you know, I'm a 361 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:15.879 TikToker now. 362 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:19.600 And follow me every because like you do that for work. 363 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:22.039 No, but no, no, no. So I posted something that 364 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:25.200 kind of hit minutes before I went into the theater, 365 00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:27.840 and so like I would bring up TikTok, and it 366 00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:30.200 would be like seven more likes, and I'd wait four 367 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:32.600 more minutes and be like thirteen more likes. I'm like, oh, 368 00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:35.120 I think this might catch a little fire here. And 369 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:37.440 for the first half of the movie, I'd say every 370 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.399 five minutes I was checking to see and then and 371 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.559 I've never been that guy ever and the theme of 372 00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:49.879 the movies, You're so pervasive talk fifth, fifth, yeah, but 373 00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:53.200 so like it actually did okay, And I'm sitting there 374 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.200 watching the movie, watching how the kids aren't putting the 375 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.720 phone down, watching the opening scene when they show you 376 00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:01.080 every table and the server walks by and everyone's on 377 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:03.120 their phone, and I'm just like, it didn't resonate with 378 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:05.240 me until about halfway through, and I'm like, dude, this 379 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:08.440 movie's good. Check this out when you get home. And 380 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:10.839 I put the like I had to actively, and had 381 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:12.920 we been watching Send Help, I don't know that I 382 00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:13.720 would have made that. 383 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:14.880 It was heavy handed. 384 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:16.960 Yeah, I don't know that I would have made the 385 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:18.839 connection that I need to put this down and just 386 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.519 enjoy the freaking movie, especially given the fact that it 387 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:24.240 was two hours and fifteen minutes and it felt like 388 00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:26.039 I was there for like thirty. 389 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:32.480 It flew really didn' drag. I read somewhere human evolution, 390 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:35.799 and I think there's a mural of human evolution posted 391 00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:37.720 in this I know what you're gonna say, Yeah, but no, 392 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:39.599 you don't know what I'm gonna say. I'm just in references. 393 00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:44.680 But the final part of human evolution is in this 394 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:48.079 mural that's depicted in the movie. Is this guy with 395 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:51.839 one of those heads VR headsets on and his head 396 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:54.319 is slumped down and yeah, you know, just walking and 397 00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:57.079 it's like the evolution of man, you know whatever. I 398 00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:59.359 read an article and I can't remember where this was, 399 00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:03.960 and they wanted make it abundantly clear that this is 400 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:08.839 not anywhere near happening. But if people continue to walk 401 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:12.319
