Speaker 1: Oh, let's take our last ad break and we'll talk
about some Shrek, talk about some trailers, and be it
right back and we are back. So I'm not gonna
I guess I might pull up a picture of it.
So anyways, we're talking about a bunch of teasers and trailers.
But let's talk about Shrek first, a Shrek five.
Speaker 2: And what is this controversy? I gotta hear what's going
on here?
Speaker 1: So Shrek five they revealed it. Let's see if I
can get okay, perfect, I got a side by side.
The biggest thing people are complaining about is the animation,
and they feel like it's like, like this is sacrilege
what they've done to Shrek, that he looks awful, that
you know, there's all the stuff, because I'll get the
side by side, but to me, like, I know, he
looks like a little different and on Donkey too, right,
So this was just the biggest thing that and this
has been talked about everywhere where they don't look the same,
they don't have the same animation style. For me, I
like recognize that, like, okay, they look a little bit different.
I think Donkey looks that way because he's older and
Shrek looks a little bit older. But for me, I
just saw it as like, Okay, this is what they're
doing in twenty twenty five. But this was like an uproar.
On the end of today, we talked a bit about
our discord of like I think because the way the
reason is if you look at the left, obviously that's
the DreamWorks animation, and then the right it's still dream Works.
But I think people are saying it's like almost like
picks our eyes. Tayor thought looked like AI, like I
wouldn't go that far. To me, I didn't think it
looked AI liked the new Shrek stuff. But yeah, it
was a big uproar where there's people saying they they're
comparing to this like ugly sonic deal, like people have
like they don't many petitions, but there's trending tweets of
people being like, maybe we can bully them the same
way we bullied the Sonic feal No legitimately, like people
are starting campaigns to like the hashtags like not much,
like this is like a big thing, And to me
it was just like, oh, it's Shrek animated in twenty
twenty five, Like he's gonna look a little bit different,
I thought, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: Now, Okay, you told me the Taylor thing, but what
did the other good people of our discord thing, because
that's those are people that I trust as having said, I.
Speaker 1: Think was with me that didn't think that, and then
I think other people just agreed that it did look
like it looks different, but it didn't like to me,
it didn't look That's something first, because I watched the
teaser right and right now, the tweet I have right
now is discussing film and that's like a very big
Twitter account, right, and the next tweet was, Oh, they've
redesigned track like them? And I'm like, oh did they?
And I pull them up. I'm like, yeah, like I guess.
But to me, it's just not redesign. It's kind of
like I saw a good thing. I'll see if I
could pull it up. But people are The Defenders were
showing like Nathan Drake from Uncharted three and then Uncharted four,
and it was because the games were so long. It's
just like animations and.
Speaker 2: Production technology, it changes.
Speaker 1: So to me, it's like I kind of get something
that in plays. But even though put some Boots movie
that was animed differently than what he was originally, So
I just I don't get.
Speaker 2: He just looks like a little more detailed version to me. Now,
these is obviously cherry picking two screenshots when it's an
animation not a screenshot thing. Yeah, but I'm gonna be honest.
When I watched the teaser, I didn't notice. And you know,
maybe I was wolfing down some broccoli. I was eating
my dinner, so I didn't notice. But like, I don't know,
I didn't catch it personally. But now I'm seeing it
when you bring it up, like it is noticeable. For sure,
that's different, but you know, but like.
Speaker 1: Is it noticeable like to me when people like look
at that, and what do they do to him?
Speaker 2: Twenty four thousand, he's got wrink likes, that's what they
did to him. Like to me, the poor guy's age.
Let's not the ageist towards Shrek.
Speaker 1: There's three kids. You know that age is like in
a second, you know, but when people bread the ugly
Sonic thing, to me, that is like a that's a
whole different lead like Sonic in that first trailer looked
nothing like Sonic other than he was blue all look
the chat's alive. Now they're waiting again here.
Speaker 2: I know they woke up, their their little Shrek ears
perked up when they're I'm.
Speaker 1: Telling you, people are passionate on the Shrek thing. But
as Buff says, it looks like it's a put some
Boots animation, but with normal frame rate, less stylized borders effects.
At least my opinion, I agree, Like people don't talk
about the pus some Boots like it was different. Super
Mike says, yeah, look fine to me, the last one
was ten years ago off, so your gonna have changes.
So we got some same people here, But I was
trying to find the Yeah, like, here's the thing. Put
some Boots is different, you know, like like it's a
little bit different. But to me, it was just like
the Ugly Sonic thing. He's bluety his Hedgehog shirt, but
he looked so different like the song Like you remember
what Ugly Songic looked like?
Speaker 2: Like, right, yeah, I mean I tried blocking out of
my mind, but I do remember.
Speaker 1: And see if I even say Ugly Sonic and see
if people are talking about right now, because I feel
like people are making the compare. Yeah, look at that,
that's not Sonic that's not good. So people like the
sweet no way shred like this is what I mean,
No way, Shrek and Donkey got the ugly Sonic treatment.
This is not it does I know it's a first kid,
but I've seen other people don't bring this up like
other training tweets. But like, that is not sonic, that
is not so Hedgehog. That's something else. But this that
to me, I could simic, Oh, that's Shrek and Donkey.
That look a little bit different. You know, it's fascinating.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm on your you and spoke side of the equation.
Speaker 1: There's no like I don't see how people see the
sides of this, Like even Donkey, it's like you don't
look that different, like his ears are down, he has
some like I don't know. It's it's a fascinating.
Speaker 2: World where sometimes the Internet is exhausting. This sounds like
one of those times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you ever Jesus Christ, ugly Sonic was something horrendous?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 1: Did you ever see the Chippendale's me that camera during COVID? Uh?
Speaker 2: No, absolutely not.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know if I would get copyrighted for this,
but let me see if I can quickly find it.
They did a good thing here. But while I'm looking
this up, what did you think of also knew a
Shrek's coming. Apparently you know it's gonna be about his daughter.
The rumor is they released this trailer actually early because
Scooper has got that Zendia was in it, so they're like,
I just release it because people know. But Zendia's playing
the main daughter. There's rumors that Lord Farquarts coming back
because you're gonna love this. There's rumors that this movie
features the multiverse. So there you go. But yeah, I
suppose that. Obviously Zendaya is if she's not the main character,
it's like main character a with Shrek. So also it's
a very many teaser. But what did you think about this?
And I'm excited to have Shrek back in your life?
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like, here's the thing. I've never even
seen past number two. Okay, what so there are multiple
Shrek movies I could go right now and watch for
the very first time. So I'm excited about five. No,
I mean, I don't care. I watched the first two.
I love them as a kid, and then I grew
up a little bit more and I was less interested.
And then fifteen years have passed since then and here
we are today, So I don't really care. I think
it's Zenda. I love her, so it's cool that she's
in there bringing back far Quad. You know, I have
some good nostalgic fun members of that guy, so it
all seems good to me. But yeah, am I excited?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, can't. I can't honestly say I am, just because,
like I said, I haven't even gone watch number three
or four, the Holiday special or the Christmas I don't
even know what these series does anymore. But they did
a bunch of Yeah, they they did.
Speaker 1: They had I think a holiday especially in a Christmas
special year, right, and then obviously they had to put
some Boots movie and then put some Boot show.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I haven't even seen the first movie put some Boots.
I watched the second one because it was Golden Geek material. Yeah,
but I haven't even seen the first one of that.
And I'm sure there's like six Donkey movies that haven't
seen those.
Speaker 1: There's rumors of a Donkey movie coming. Actually, but Mike says,
you crushed my anticipation mentioning strict multiverse just a room
right now. So we'll see, but that is I think
how Lord fark Work gets back, I don't know, because
here's my thing.
Speaker 2: Did he die? I can't even remember he did?
Speaker 1: He got aiden by dragon?
Speaker 2: Okay, but that's you know, did you see his dead
body or did he just get eaten by dragon?
Speaker 1: Well, he got aiden. And then in the Halloween special
they talked about how the ghosts of Lord fark Ward
haunts the castle and you for him. Yeah. The reason
too was really cool. When I went to Universal that
was the three the for D ride. That was great,
and then they turned into like a little TV show.
But it's like, uh, like when rats would run by,
you know, feel the rats on your feet. When Dragon
fires like fire was really cool. But what I was
gonna say, as somebody, that's a big you know, before
the MCU started, Shrek was maybe the most successful cinematic universe.
You know, you had multiple Shreks. These specials put some boots.
It's still going strong now, right. But what's interesting to
me People are gonna say it's bullshit, But for me,
what IF's multiverse time travel? It's all the same like
type of bag right, Like to me, a multiverse story
is pretty much a time travel story. In a way,
it's like what could have happened so you didn't get
to four? What happened is in four he meets Rumpel Stillskin,
and of course he gets tricked into some sort of
deal and it's kind of like a what if he
didn't meet Fiona? Right? So then because he like the
whole thing is, he's like at a birth day, h kid,
they had the triplets in three, they're having a birthday
party and there's so many people and Shreks just like,
I fucking hate my family and kids. Like it's like
kind of like that story of like what if I
was alone again? Right? Like I just won my free time.
I could be my swamp And Rumbullstok's like, ah, wouldn't
it be great? So they do this where he makes
a deal and he sees what his life would have
been like if he didn't meet Fiona, and like Fiona
is like a warrior ogre and Donkey doesn't know him,
but he has to like get Fiona's love back in
seven days or the curse stays forever. Right, So to me,
Shrek four was the lowest grossing and I think it's
everyone's least favorite, but they kind of already did the
like what if in a Shrek movie and they're doing
it maybe again, which is kind of odd. So I
want to see what it is. I'm sure it's just
a book spell, but I think either way, I think
this movie is gonna be massive for a long time.
Shrek two is like the top grossing anime movie. I
think to like the twenty like one of the toy
stories knocked it off. But I think people already love Shrek.
But I think because he's been gone for I don't
know when was Shrek four, I think we're coming on
a couple time.
Speaker 2: I mean, he is still as culturally relevant as he
has ever been.
Speaker 1: Okay, sorek ten when Shrek Forever After came out, and
that's coming out next year, so we're looking at sixteen years.
I think that's a big thing. And I think lots
of people or so, I think this movie has lots
of things because they always were making like pop culture
references and digs and jokes, like when people already were
giving shit like oh my god, they're doing like a
TikTok spoof. It's like, did you not watch the Shrek movies?
Like that was the whole gimmick that they were medieval times,
but they were like making jokes about like regular day
things and pop like why why is snow White singing
like Ozzy Osbourne? That shouldn't happen to medieval times, but
like you know, that happens. So yeah, I'm in Zendaa. Sure,
I'm I guess they probably threw a bag of money
at her just because I thought her career was going
on like a different directory. It's fine, but like like
let's call a space bade Mike Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz,
Eddie Murphy. They were never like gonna be in the
Zendea like Oscar winning type of actress, right, Like they're
massive stars, but they were never that career wise, But
may Zendas want to do it. Maybe she wants to
be like a just a box office drawing Shrek. Shrek
helps with that, So.
Speaker 2: What I mean she probably just grew up loving it
and then someone asked her being it and she's like, well,
hell yeah, that's one of my favorite movies, so I
think it's yeah.
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna set this up. There's only forty seconds.
Chipping Dale's they did this great thing where they were
at a comic con where it's just like old animated
characters or whatnot or something like that, whatever it is,
and they I don't know how they got the right system.
Sure there's a story, but they see Ugly Sonic there
and he's still like a boofy. I'm gonna be up
on that stage too, right beside you.
Speaker 2: Yes, Ugly Sonic, that's the spirit.
Speaker 1: No like me for who I am, not like last
time when the Internet got one look at my humid
teeth and burned the place down. Okay, let's shoot anyway.
Not my luck has shifted. I've been offered a new
reality show where I do ride alongs with the FBI.
Speaker 2: It's called Ugly Sonic Uglier Crimes.
Speaker 1: Really a TV show?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Is that so difficult to believe? Oh uh, I
m that's what Mike was talking about the teeth as night. Yeah,
you know what. That's so kudos to them. That's just
what it's not like for me. The content there funny enough,
like it's all right, but just the fact that god, yeah,
joke within itself is just like, oh that's a smart
Like whoever had the idea of like think about like
old retired like b cless celebrities like having ugly sonic
great stuff there, so good stuff.
Speaker 2: Thanks for sharing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, trailers, that's all. We got a bunch of trailers.
Talk about the surfer, another simple favor, freaky tales, borderline havoc,
and bring her back? Where do you want to start?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, where do I want to start? Maybe
I'll start with I'll start with a low one for
me because I need some context here another simple favor.
I don't want anything about simple favor. What's going on here?
Speaker 1: You were seeing the first one?
Speaker 2: No? No, no, So what's going on here? What's the
like what's the elevator pitch of the first one? And
why are they making a sequel?
Speaker 1: Elevator pitch of the first one? Is nerdy girl gets
be offended by cool girl.
Speaker 2: But cool girl's a monster, like a literal monster.
Speaker 1: No, but like you know that's in this trailer, like
are you is she an aristocrat? Is she a killer?
I didn't know that. I thought you'd seen it, so
I wouldn't have made you watch this.
Speaker 2: This is the same cast or is.
Speaker 1: It like exact same cast? Yeah? OK, so it's everybody?
Speaker 2: Is that a good?
Speaker 1: No? The first one's fantastic, No, first one's fantastic. It's
one of these moods. So it's like when it's it's
Paul Figue and he does all those like like like
look at his IMDb and you'll know what I'm talking about.
For the most part, they're all very you've seen that
type of colmedy movie and he did Bride's Maids, but
I think that's his best one. They're all like different
versions of.
Speaker 2: Like Ghostbusters, the Heat Spy.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you see then you know what a type
of directory is, right, absolutely, So with the Simple Favor,
it had like a little bit about that, but it
was more drama and it was very well done. It's
a very cool like cat and Mouse like dramedy thriller,
and Anna Kendry and Blake Lively had really great chemistry,
so it was really good. So it was one of
these films that was like a surprise hit when it
came out that year, just like critically and like even me,
I think I saw it because like am I'm like, oh,
I want to see It's like yeah, okay, sure, Like
I had very low expectations. There is a review actually
somewhere in Geek First I liked it as much. I
did a soul review and it's really good. But it's
also a movie that feels like it should not have
a sequel at all. Feels like it ends very like
the book is shut on this chapter, Like many bad
things get revealed about Blake Lively's character. So the fact
that it's like she's at a prison and like wants
her to come to the wedding. Don't know why you
would eat because the whole trailer you've seen this where
it's like, oh, what do you want? You're trying to
get back and be like why would you do? Like
I'm waiting for the Hopefully watch the movie and see
what the other hook is, because why is this person
who all these bad things are revealed about her and
they're maybe after you you're gonna like give them a
second chance, Like I'm sorry, Dan, like a minus for
first one. If anyone in my real life try is
to murder me, I'm not gonna that. There's no second
chances for that person. You know.
Speaker 2: That's what about Taylor. He's tried to murder you many times,
hasn't he?
Speaker 1: The problem? I guess the problem is.
Speaker 2: That always at the cover of nightfall and pen solo
and no.
Speaker 1: You're right, you're right. But the problem is we're contractually
bound by this podcast. I don't see my real life,
so like when he invites me over, like I don't
go there and anything like that.
Speaker 2: So because he might be poisoned the food or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's actually the real reason why we cast like.
Speaker 2: Virtually now, I actually do live in Klona, but we
just do this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all fun because because Taylor is trying to
kill me. So but uh, okay, so in that aspect,
if I wasn't on a podcast with someone, I wouldn't
see them again. But yeah, so for me, I'm I'm interested.
But it's a movie that I feel like they made
too because they got a big paycheck and I don't
even think it's going to box office. It was like
a box office like minor hit. But yeah, sorry, I
would not put that in there if I didn't know
you'd seen. I thought we talked about it at some
point on the podcast or something.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm glad I just learned that. And yeah,
we'll see if I remember it by the time this
movie comes out. Probably not.
Speaker 1: If you never have something to watch and you're in
for like a little fun comedy thriller. The first one
is I think worth your time. There's some good stuff.
Speaker 2: And then the next one I'll bring up is I'll
bring it right back, bring her back. This is the
next movie from the people who did talk to me.
This movie looks fantastic. I am very excited for this.
I love that movie. I think it's really it's I
guess you know, the year before this Golden Geese, we
did like Best Horror Movie. I think that was the winner,
right of that category that we did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we forgot to do that this year.
Speaker 2: I don't think I didn't really forget. I just don't really.
I don't think I had the sauce, and I don't
think that category had the sauce. We just didn't have
enough fuel for it to make it super exciting.
Speaker 1: And we also we also had long Legs and nos
fat to in Best Golden Gee So think hind.
Speaker 2: We tried it in that year, And I think on
certain years, if there's certain genres that are just slammed,
it would be fun to get some bones categories in there.
But I'm glad we did want that one year. But anyway, yeah,
talk to me about Yeah, exactly that could be. It
Talk to Me really great, really interesting movie like visuals
of it are great. Before I even saw that sizzle
thing in the trailer that's reminded me of who the
directors were. It was giving me hereditary vibes. And if
you're good form your hereditary vibes, I'm into it. The people,
the weird naked people touching people a weird way, is
the strange cinematography. I think this looks really great, so
I'm very excited for this one. This is a definitely
like jumped up that into his paid list for me. Now,
I'm pretty stoked for this one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm very excited for it. I love love make feel.
I think I really loved it. I kind of watch
talk to Me again. I want to say I loved it,
but I don't think it was in like my top tim.
I think I gave it like a good score. I
don't know. I remember very much enjoying It's a It's
so hard nowadays to find concepts that are unique, right,
because lots of times it's just like, here's a spin
on this, like I'd like, I got no problem, like
with when made a joy Chrome that's like a spin
on Saw on a Dangerous Game, those like two movies
I like, or franchise, like here's a version of like
what I kind of want to do with it, but
I was inspired by other projects. Right, we're talk to Me.
I'm sure they were inspired by other things, but that's
like a I don't know, a movie where you hold
a hand and talk to other dead peel right, may
there's some are You Afraid the Dark episode in the
nineties or something, and then.
Speaker 2: Like nail that concept so well visually and story wise
and acting wise.
Speaker 1: Right, But so for me, the only thing that helped
me back was it's it's funny because they're already making
uh okay four or five. I gotta watch it again.
Though the actress great job. I think I had like
issues with the third act of what I remember. I
feel like there's some some stumpiness there, but it's still
the point where I'm like, I'm very excited to see
what they do going forward. My only thing was they've
announced that they're doing talk to Me Too. If they
didn't announce that, yeah, yeah, yeah. If they didn't announce that,
I swore that this movie would be like a it's
a sequel, but not a sequel, because it feels like
there's some very similar vibes, Like even the title like
bring her Back. It seems like there's a circle and
they're communicating. You see multiple dead things. So that's that's
not my concern, But I'm just wondering if it's gonna
feel I want to see what the real pitches of
the story, because I don't want to be like too samesy,
Like it feels like it's like another movie. If you're
to show the trailer to talk to me and to this,
and if I were to give you a log line
of it's a movie about communicating with the dead, that
looks like it's not the exact same movie, but they have,
there's like a one to one comparison.
Speaker 2: Especially even like as a creative, you release that movie,
you're working on the sequel in somewhere, are they still
working on.
Speaker 1: The sequel or that they're directing the sequels?
Speaker 2: Yeah, their mind is filled with talk to me, like
it's all over the place, swirling around in that brain.
So I'm sure influences are gonna pop in, even unintentionally.
Speaker 1: And who knows, it might even be like a black
mirror situation where like these don't connect, but they're still
in the same type of universe, which I don't mind
because Tarantino does that and Kim Smith is that where
it's like, yeah, these things are kind of loosely connected.
So no, I'm very intrigued some very creepy visuals. I
think they're much like Neon with long legs, where I
don't know if it's these directors or whoever they're working with.
I think they always get their trailers cut really well,
like I think they do a good job of showcasing it.
So uh yeah, I think I will be there for
and that's this summer too. It's like not too far away.
So I was excited about. I just that was my
only thing, like, oh, this looks like looks looks very
not similar but very in that tame type of tone.
But not a bad thing, because I like to talk
to me. I just wonder, like, same thing now, It's
like if it is similar, like what juice do they
have for talk to me too, because I feel like
you might want to say something. But like I said,
this trailer didn't reveal a lot. I like Sally Hawkins
the actress, so maybe there's just gonna be some wild
swings that we're not even thinking about yet.
Speaker 2: So and yeah, she's another one too.
Speaker 1: I haven't.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen her in anything in recently recent times,
so I'm excited for that.
Speaker 1: What was the last thing to see it was it
the fish movie?
Speaker 2: It might have been, which was like a long time ago.
Speaker 1: Now what the hell is that called?
Speaker 2: Oh god, it won Best Picture? It did.
Speaker 1: Hidden Wow, Creature of the Sea. No, because that's the
with the memes everything like, it just became the fish
sex movie, you know, like that's.
Speaker 2: What's s Puff's in the chat? We're gonna need you
to bailed out here. What the hell is.
Speaker 1: In the chair? Yeah, I won't. I think it's just
it's something sea or oh it's the chat, you can tell.
So I'm not gonna look it up.
Speaker 2: But I just feel like, like Shannon in there, we
got fish sex, we got fish tanks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sally Hawkins game Dero Call not Call.
Speaker 2: Is woman in the title woman the Woman. I can't
believe this is fish in the title fish shape of Water.
Speaker 1: You get a shape of water? Damn it? Good job,
thank you, super bad Mike.
Speaker 2: A pretty good title. A pretty good title too. I
like that title, but I just couldn't.
Speaker 1: It's also the but it's also like words that aren't
like too memorable, right, Like it's something where it's not
it's not like to me, like angle unchain, where it's like, oh,
that's very like that just stands out right, a shape
of water that could be like yeah, soap opera too,
but it's true. All right, we're going next.
Speaker 2: Well, there was a Treage for me, A Freaky Tails, Borderline,
and Havoc that didn't really move the needle for me.
Speaker 1: They're all kind of like details, eh no, not really.
Speaker 2: They were all in that bucket of like excited to
see what the discord thinks of this. But I'm not
gonna be the guinea pig on this one. I'm gonna
wait and see what other people think. But I kind
of have low expectations for all three of them for
different reasons, but I think mostly as they none of
them really had a style that was calling to me
or a concept, which are you know for these kind
of genre is the thing that that really bring me in.
Speaker 1: So Freakytails that's been a movie making the film festival
circuit for a while. Like I think it's one of
those like was maybe done in twenty twenty four or
three even, but it's gotten really good. Like anytime it's
just been shown somewhere, people always like, oh, this is
a really fun anthology movie. There goes my voice. So
that's and I love a good anthology movie, like the
cast of Pagro and some other people, like even the
Iron Hard actresses in there. So I'm curious to see
that all out. But yeah, so I don't know. I
liked the style, like the idea of like kind of
as a little bit adies retro. You could see there
was different God I'm not dimensions. I can't remember on
the ratios. There's different ratios in the stories, so like
I'm curious to see how they tie all together or
if they're not. But yeah, so that one, i'd say,
obviously you're waiting for the discord, but that one, look,
I think that's the most potential because every time that's
a film.
Speaker 2: With context, for sure, you're selling me more than the
trailer did.
Speaker 1: Because even the trailers like Sundance and Sundance is like
a big one. It's like a horror at Sundance, So like,
you know, hey, I'm did I try to submit to Sundance.
I can't remember.
Speaker 2: But anyways, you could put that as one of the
laurels submitted to Sundance.
Speaker 1: They don't give me those ones before. I wish, I wish,
but yeah, and then Havoc, I wish the trail is longer.
But you've never seen any of the Raid movies, have you? No?
The Raid is like one of the most insp inspirational
horror movie or sorry, action movies all time. You would
watch that movie and that would probably be a movie
you'd be like, Oh, this doesn't feel like anything I
haven't seen before. It's because like all the action movies
of like the twenty tens, copy that, like the Very
like the One Takes and Daredevil and stuff, they're all
inspired by the right Like it's that type of style.
So the only reason I'm excited for this is there's this,
and he has a TV show Cone to Paramount. I'm
just excited to have Tom Hardy potentially back in some
good stuff. So other Raid, I'd definitely recommend. It's a
foreign film. There's not even that much talking in it,
but it is maybe worth a watch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But that's that's you know, it's funny when we
were dude, when Golden Geeks recently, and I mentioned Tom
Hardy for his role in Bike Riders, which I was
the only one who had seen that movie, but I
really liked him in there, and it's like a good
reminder of like, oh yeah, Tom Hardy is really good,
like when you put him in something that isn't the
Sony verse. But yeah, it's funny because I saw this
trailer get mentioned in the discord, I think, is this movie?
But then I watched the trailer, I'm like, okay, well,
like I want to see Tom Hardy and something that's
really good, but like, is is that gonna be this
or is this just gonna be like another generic action
flick where he's doing something that anyone else could do.
Speaker 1: This trailer definitely just banked on because they even doll
from the craters or whatever of the of the raid.
It's like they're definitely just banking on. Like, Okay, this
trailer is nothing too special, but if you like the Raid,
go check this movie off. I like Timothy Oliphant, so
I forgot he was in there. Yeah, but but yeah, no,
I happy remind me about Bike Riders because I need to.
I got a list of movies I gotta watch now
that I'm done Daredevil. I just finished my rewatch today,
so I'm gonna start watching like I'm gonna watch The Gorge?
Are you You're not gonna watch The Gorge? Right, because
you say those trails are awful, but everybody has seen
it tells.
Speaker 2: Me the trailers. I thought, okay, it was Kirk oh movies,
Kirk Taylor or Kirkland. I want to check that movie out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I keep hearing good things. So Bike Riders is
one that I have my Amazon list, but I'm hoping
this is good. And then Borderline, I don't know this
is gonna. I'm I got a lot of pieces. Why
I'm curious. I love Samarrow Weaving. I don't mind like
I think this is like a This is one where
we talked about just a second ago. We've seen variations
of this plot right of super fan or stalker kidnapping somebody,
and it's like a wild twenty four to seventy two hours.
But those sometimes can be pretty great. I am very
curious on Ray Nicholson because people should know I love
Jack Nicholson. You tell about classic stars of like old Hollywood.
To me, it's Jack Nicholson, Charle Heston. Those are my guys,
I will like Jack Nicholson. He I just love that man.
I think he's one of the greatest actors of all time.
He's uh, what is it? Record? Oscar winner Dylan only
person him, Daniel Daan and Mayle Streep to win three Oscars.
Very impressive in the acting category.
Speaker 2: Well, I thought Daniel Day was like Eclipse to them
at some point, but I guess.
Speaker 1: No, Jack's right there. Jack. People forget about Jack because.
Speaker 2: He's been more his three wins.
Speaker 1: It was one of the Kucha's Nests, as good as
it gets, and I always forget the first one because
I always think it's Chinatown, but it's not Chinatown.
Speaker 2: But he should away leading or video supporting one in there.
Speaker 1: One's lead, one is supporting, and I think the other
one is a lead as well. So I will find
out in a second. But so I've only seen him
in Smile Too.
Speaker 2: And watch his Oscar winning stuff, because I don't think
i've seen any of those.
Speaker 1: One. Flu of the Cuckoo's Nest is a good Did
you not read that book in school?
Speaker 2: Even I did read the book in school.
Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah, he's a movie. He plays McMurphy and
he's just like he's just giving it. Man, he's a
perfect McMurphy. But what was the other one?
Speaker 2: Murphy?
Speaker 1: It's always a movie that like I forget, which is bad.
Not the movie bad. I just it's bad that I
forget it. Where is it? Hang on? I almost have
it there? It is terms of endearment. Okay, So that's.
Speaker 2: Why I'm not a movie. I go back to the
shape of water like titles forgettable.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, but so his son, it's strange always on
the spell.
Speaker 2: Too, that's his son is the main guy in Ray Nicholson.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's a weird, like if you were to say,
like draw Jack Nicholson from memory, because sometimes he looks
very much like his father, but then other.
Speaker 2: Times I didn't notice it at all.
Speaker 1: To be algeist, it's when he had his hair pulled back,
and when he smiles he looks like Jack. I think
the throw off though, is that he doesn't sound like
his dad at all. So I'm just gonna maybe this
is pure just like.
Speaker 2: Have you seen him acting any and yet smile too?
Speaker 1: He had a small role, small role he's an abusive boyfriend,
which he was a good ad. But like it's like
just a small role. But so this is like me
like bringing like net.
Speaker 2: Being type cast as the abusive boyfriend one percent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is somewhere I'm bringing nepotism as a
fan and I'm just hoping. But uh, I still like
tres Is calling him an industry plant. I'm not saying that,
but sometimes it happens. That can happen. And Jack Nicholson's
your dad. I'm sure it's opened up a lot of doors,
but what you know what you still have to do though,
you still got to have the hood spot like that
go through.
Speaker 2: I listened to an interview with Claw lately and she's
just I've never seen an interview before and she's just
so delightful and fun and just seems like the best
person ever. And it was so cool in that interview
she was talking about like, yeah, you know what, a
lot of the opportunities I got NEPO baby stuff. But
then she backs it up by being a badass actor too.
So I don't know what that is really related, but
just shows.
Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to like this sounds mean. Colin Hanks,
I like the guy. He seems like a good enough actor,
but like you don't see him in a bunch of
stuff nowadays, right, like he's here and around his you
can make his argument that his dad's one of the
greatest actors all the time, two time Academy Award winner,
And that's where it's like, I think Colin Hanks is
a good actor, but he was not his dad. And
that's where it's like if you don't.
Speaker 2: You say that because I saw him in two movies recently,
but they're both it's Tenacious D and King Kong, which
are you know, old old movies.
Speaker 1: At this point, how big is his role in Tenacious D.
Speaker 2: He might have been cut from the final thing actually seen,
it's like he's like a he's like a frat bro,
like throws a cant at Kyle's head.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so we'll see this. This is a movie though,
could easily be like a two out of five on
letter box, Like I had those type of vibes. I'm
pretty sure some are we things like husband is like
writing and or directing it, which can be a good
or bad thing because sometimes you work well with each
other and sometimes it doesn't. So we'll see.
Speaker 2: Yeah it it gave me Woman of the Hour vibes,
only in the sense that, you know, Woman of the Hour,
Kendrick and on the best really great, but the male
guy like kind of let me down and kind of
made the whole thing kind of come down to cold.
And that's kind of the vibe I was getting here
with this one. Was I wasn't loving mister Nicholson's situation
that he had going on here.
Speaker 1: Dang well, want to see. The thing that worried me
was I was more happy, like I guess because the
pitches that he's kidnapped her and they're gonna get married,
so you need all these people. But I got less
interested when I met the other people because they felt
very very over the top, like there's that girl that
has like a present with her and she's blood on her,
and there's some like of course, big lurching dude. So
I don't know. And then there's only one trailer we
have talked about, so I don't know if that's a
good thing or bad thing for you. The surfer me well.
Speaker 2: One Also, I saw that on the Patreon you had
a fear street and then you didn't put that in
the notes to me.
Speaker 1: I did. I took it off all you did. I
took it off after I saw it, I'm like, I
just don't need to make don't watch this because it
was it was literally just a day announcement. But I'm
excited for more fir Street. I liked those first three, so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. I mean, you know, once again, they're
kind of going down like, hey, what are some tropes
that have been done before, but like we're gonna spice
it up and make it fun, and so they're doing
it again, which yeah, excited for that. But the Surfer,
you know, save the best for last, potentially. I think
this is a really great trailer. I think this movie
looks like super duper fun. I mean, I think Nick Cage,
I mean, this guy's always doing like seventeen projects a year,
so it's hard to keep track, but I feel like
he's on a run that I'm really enjoying right now.
Speaker 1: He's doing someeen good projects a year now, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but I think this looks so fun, like
everyone just kind of constantly gawking at him or like
making fun of him or like terrorizing him. But then
like it's creepy, and then like some of the cinematography
is like wild and interesting and I'm very intrigued. I
also love just how silly the concept is, like he
just goes surfing again, realize he loves it, and like
buys a beach house to go surfing again, and then
like people are mad at him about that. But then
it seems like it's going to get existential or trippy
at moments like what's not to love? It looks fantastic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just trying to see what else this? Uh
Lorc and Finn again, what else if he's directed anything
or if he's a new director. Twelve things he's directed,
but I think they're they're short, so they almost look
like some forest so so nothing really like he directed
like a segment on Nightmare Radio. Don't know what that is,
but there you go. So yeah, so getting his baby
first crack here. Yeah, this is awestly because like I
like Nick Cage and it was funny, like I talked about,
like he's doing good stuff now. I like, I think
it was last year and Long Lengths came out. He
did an interview and he talked about like all those
straight to DVD stuff he did, and he was just
honest that he said, like he was in a lot
of debt and he didn't get to choose what he like,
like he chose, like he wasn't choosing. He was just like,
what can I do to like make a bunch, Because
this is a guy. At one point, I'm pretty sure
he owned an island, and I'm sure in the nineties
he was rolling in it like again, another guy people
forget he won Oscar. I'm sure in the nineties he
was like one of the biggest stars and you know,
you might make a couple of bad purchases. So I
liked this, Like, hey, back then, I couldn't really pick.
I just did to take whatever I could get the money.
But I feel like maybe a little before then, but
ever since, uh god, what's the movie he did with Pedro?
I'm awful today with.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, No, I'm on the spot.
Speaker 1: It's like something something Talentless or the Incredible Talents, Right,
it's like.
Speaker 2: The U of massive talent. Okay, yeah, let the record
be known.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel like ever since then, which is kind
of a funny starting point because I was kind of
making fun of Nick Cage as like a person. Since then,
it's been great and this and that looks very fun.
I this is on my radar for a different reason.
The guy that's like the main He looks like the antagonist.
The guy has like the red hoodie on all the time.
I've talked about this many times. Show I absolutely love
the TV show Niptok from the two thousands and the
show but Plastic Surgery and oh fuck, I forgot we
talked about him. He was he's Doctor Doom. Remember that's
the Doctor Doom actor from the original Fantastic Four. So
he's in here. And the thing I told you guys
I kept because I feel like you guys all thought
O was liear. I'm like Julie fan like can be
a great actor. This is a guy who was like
the same time Daniel Craig was auditioning for Bond, he
was too like he can have the goods. I think
he just made some had asient calls or his agent
made some bad calls on projects, but like he has
the hoods pun he looked very fun. And what I
love about this is like he looks like he's an antagonist,
but it looks like they're gonna go through a big journey
of like trust and not trust, because it did look
like he was like they never turned it to like
and now I'm gonna try and kill him, Like it
never got to that level. It just always looked like
they were at each other's next but in like a
real life situation. At the end, it looks like, Okay,
we might get a little crazy with some drugs or
whatever Na Cage is doing by this fire pit. But yeah,
I can't wait it comes up. Man, I don't know
if I'll see this in theaters. I have the way
till word of mouth, but it's definitely gonna be seeing it,
and I cannot. I cannot wait, and hopefully I hope
it comes up like maybe Golden Geeks or something. Also
looks like a movie could be incredibly like disappointing, but
it did the festival run and got some some good
word of mouth. But yeah, it's feeding my Julia mcmahanonisms
because like same thing like the past few years, he
was like an FBI, which is like a CBS like
NCIS show. It's like I can't watch this, Like it's
always like he's doing stuff like that where it's like
I can't watch you an FBI, Like I love you,
Julia McMahon, but like do something else and he just
looks good. So I'm hoping this is like, uh, something
might seem kind of like Eric Dane when he did
Euphoria and now he's like in this and that. It's like,
oh yeah, I like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what trailer was Eric Dane was? It? Was it
the one of Sam Weaving?
Speaker 1: It is he's heard security detail that like loser, so
he's trying to find her. So that sold me too.
It's like, oh, Eric Dane, he's like the supporting tough guy.
That's great. So the same thing since Euphoria he had
a little run, So I'm hoping this is that. But
I'm happy we'll see. I'm sure we'll talk about it
because it's Nick Cage. Taylor usually sees those, and like
I said, maybe we'll talk about next year. Maybe I
would you know, the satisfaction I get to have Julie
McMahon and the Golden Geek's best villain just as it.
Speaker 2: Would be so fun. That would be a great full
circle kind.
Speaker 1: Do I think it's gonna happen? No, I don't, but
I'm hoping the movie is so unaniable that you know,
could happen.
Speaker 2: But uh, I mean, the competition's fierce this year. We
got Lex Luthor out there, Galactus ser surfers. There's a
villains this year.
Speaker 1: Right, we do have those. Yeah, who knows, but uh,
Waltley's gentlemen. That's it. We did Dylan anything else say
if round here?
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. That was a great, great episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're back together on Monday. To a side quest,
I should put this the beginning for the gimmicks back.
We'll be doing that. And yeah, lots of good specials,
lots of good things. We appreciate the support on everything
we do. Thank you very much. We'll talk to you
next week and I'll not be boring
