Speaker 1: I have to ask you a question here, Bulky, are
Speaker 1: you are you a Ted Lasso fan? Did you have
Speaker 1: Apple tea? I do not, And I heard it's great,
Speaker 1: never watched it, Yeah, I have never seen it either,
Speaker 1: And I'm always told they're like, Ben, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you would like this movie. It's very happy, go lucky,
Speaker 1: It's very it lifts your spirit up. You walk away
Speaker 1: from it smiling every time you see it. And I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know what that says you think about me,
Speaker 1: but but I might like something like that here. And
Speaker 1: I found myself, having never seen ted Lasso the show,
Speaker 1: watching Hail Mary with Ryan Gosling yesterday at the theater,
Speaker 1: being like, this is like if ted Lasso were in space,
Speaker 1: because I felt that to be two and a half
Speaker 1: hours of just like very uplifting, an inspirational movie. Not
Speaker 1: the kind of thing I'm gonna sound cold hearted, not
Speaker 1: the kind of thing that I typically partaken. But it
Speaker 1: was kind of a nice change of pace for me
Speaker 1: seeing something that I think I normally wouldn't traditionally see
Speaker 1: in the theaters.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't see this in the theater, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I think if we didn't I.
Speaker 2: Think with anything space you have to see in the theater,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: It was worth seeing in theater. Yeah, absolutely, And I
Speaker 1: actually I want to talk about that a little bit
Speaker 1: with you over the course of this show here. But
Speaker 1: I do have to say I think just the general plot,
Speaker 1: there were moments and we'll get into it here, but
Speaker 1: I felt like the first hour and a half of
Speaker 1: the movie they didn't take as advantage of how beautiful
Speaker 1: this movie could look compared to what they did for
Speaker 1: the last hour there where I just thought we really
Speaker 1: saw some truly great spectacles. Was that green screen or
Speaker 1: was that by design?
Speaker 2: Though you know, maybe you know there there could have
Speaker 2: been a crescendo aspect of that, you know, trying to
Speaker 2: because it was it was nonlinear storytelling to an extent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think for.
Speaker 2: The most part, it was like, you know, even with
Speaker 2: you have a nonlinear story, it like sort of resolves
Speaker 2: itself at the at the very end. Sure, we saw
Speaker 2: it with what the Glen Powell movie we just reviewed, why.
Speaker 1: Can't I think, Yeah, the how to make a Comet
Speaker 1: I Medica Killing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so ultimately, you know, you ultimately see the
Speaker 2: last part last, but it went back in time, you know,
Speaker 2: to to sort of set up the stakes of how
Speaker 2: serious this was. And I think at that point when
Speaker 2: you're getting that emotionally involved into it, into this film,
Speaker 2: and then you see, you know how this thing is
Speaker 2: going to resolve itself one way or the other here
Speaker 2: and you know what's at stake, I think just being
Speaker 2: trapped and immersed in that sort of negative sound emptiness
Speaker 2: of space, you know, but with him and Rocky trying
Speaker 2: to like figure this out. I don't know. I I think,
Speaker 2: like this is two and a half hours. If you're
Speaker 2: gonna do that for the whole movie, I think it
Speaker 2: takes away from ultimately the enjoyment of it at the end.
Speaker 1: So towards the end, I'll be honest, and I'm interested
Speaker 1: what you think about this, because I don't want it
Speaker 1: to sound like I enjoyed this movie. I don't want to, yeah,
Speaker 1: like I created it. But I did find myself thinking
Speaker 1: of Avatar a little bit the first Avatar while watching it,
Speaker 1: because my main complaint about Avatar was always Pandora is
Speaker 1: a cool planet and getting to meet the blue people
Speaker 1: is fine. Probably could have knocked it out in a
Speaker 1: half an hour instead of an hour and a half.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, there is not a more.
Speaker 1: Action packed part of the movie, and I found myself
Speaker 1: feeling that way as well. To me, I thought it
Speaker 1: was a very realistic and not to give too much
Speaker 1: of the plot away, because based on the trailers, I
Speaker 1: think this went a route that I didn't necessarily see
Speaker 1: coming in a lot of ways, him getting to know Rocky,
Speaker 1: getting to know the alien creature that is put in
Speaker 1: the trailer there, so not spoiling anything there. It felt
Speaker 1: very real, like if you met another beam that spoke
Speaker 1: an entirely different language with no basis to even start.
Speaker 2: It was pretty cool that that they you know, I
Speaker 2: so initially I think if you're in space and you
Speaker 2: run into an alien, immediately you you assume hostility, right,
Speaker 2: I think that'd be my first reaction. But then to
Speaker 2: like kind of formulate a way for them to communicate
Speaker 2: was crazy.
Speaker 1: And it felt realistic because I don't know how realistic
Speaker 1: it was. Well, I mean, he has he's a.
Speaker 2: Ryland Grace, who was the main protagonist.
Speaker 1: Yeah, his back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a smart scientist, but his background was like
Speaker 2: in molecular chemistry or something like They not in like,
Speaker 2: you know, linguistics or anything like that, where this would
Speaker 2: have been an easy thing for them.
Speaker 1: To Oh okay, yeah, from that perspective, yes, they have
Speaker 1: some technology helping them. But I guess I meant more
Speaker 1: from a there really wasn't a very elongated period about
Speaker 1: being nervous about being killed, and I think the plot
Speaker 1: of the movie kind of takes some of that, some
Speaker 1: of that angst away without saying too much, the threat
Speaker 1: of death really wasn't an issue. Meeting an alien race
Speaker 1: in this movie, oh yeah, totally great. Yeah, I see
Speaker 1: yourself because I'm sitting there. At one point, they connect
Speaker 1: their ships together in the middle of space and it's
Speaker 1: this big black tunnel and I'm like, ah my, my
Speaker 1: horror movie instincts kick in. I'm like, well, cold Day
Speaker 1: and hell have ever going in that tunnel? There's no scenario.
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, there's one scenario I would
Speaker 1: go in that tunnel, and that's that's kind of the
Speaker 1: scenario that he's living through throughout this entire movie here,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, ah, you know, this is one of
Speaker 1: the first times ever that a weird noise happens in
Speaker 1: a dark, scary place and the character goes to investigate
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, I probably would do that too.
Speaker 1: It's not as unrealistic anything else.
Speaker 2: There's something to be said for it. By the way,
Speaker 2: I don't know if we mentioned this. We're talking about
Speaker 2: Project Tail Mary, Yeah, Ryan Gosling directed by.
Speaker 1: I think I said that shortly after this last.
Speaker 2: We haven't talked about the directing team of Lord and Miller,
Speaker 2: who actually handled the directing duties on this. They've done
Speaker 2: a ton of cool stuff with like the Spider Verse movies,
Speaker 2: Igo movies, Like they're really talented. Yeah, anyway, I think
Speaker 2: the the other thing too is I don't do we
Speaker 2: know how long they it took them to get to
Speaker 2: where they were going to this sun?
Speaker 1: Do we know how long it took them to get there?
Speaker 1: Two time periods stick out to me. I heard them
Speaker 1: say eleven years one time, and a different point in
Speaker 1: the movie I heard them say a little over four years,
Speaker 1: So I don't know which one was actually relative.
Speaker 2: So now, granted he was in suspended animation for that, yeah,
Speaker 2: for the trip there, so while it was a long time,
Speaker 2: it maybe did not seem like a long time for him.
Speaker 2: But still the prospect of waking up in space with
Speaker 2: amnesia not knowing how you got there and and sort
Speaker 2: of like the as the memories come back to him,
Speaker 2: we're kind of treated to those memories as well, like
Speaker 2: we're discovering this what he forgot at the same time
Speaker 2: we're learning for.
Speaker 1: The first time.
Speaker 2: But I think that goes into it too, like hostile
Speaker 2: or not. You know, you are trying, you have a
Speaker 2: mission that you need to do. You're in the middle
Speaker 2: of outer space, it took you eleven years to get
Speaker 2: there or whatever, Like why wouldn't you be more open
Speaker 2: to the idea of this could be my death if
Speaker 2: I investigate this or if I, you know, approach this
Speaker 2: alien life form or whatever, you would be more open
Speaker 2: to that, You would be more willing your your courage
Speaker 2: would go way up. And you know, from the standpoint
Speaker 2: of like you're this close to death in space all
Speaker 2: the time, Yeah, you know, so, why wouldn't you take
Speaker 2: the chance?
Speaker 1: And you know so?
Speaker 2: I think that's that's where the courage comes from in
Speaker 2: this aspect.
Speaker 1: Which is a running theme throughout the entire movie, is
Speaker 1: bravery finding a reason to take that race in these
Speaker 1: kinds of things.
Speaker 2: And he was not a brave guy initially. In Uh again,
Speaker 2: at that point in the movie. I don't know who
Speaker 2: would be if you hear the way the mission is
Speaker 2: good luck. But I mean even you know, some of
Speaker 2: these other astronauts that that are super brave or whatever
Speaker 2: that you know went on this flight voluntarily knowing that
Speaker 2: they would not be coming back.
Speaker 1: And then you you.
Speaker 2: Have a Gosling's character where he is not a brave
Speaker 2: guy even on planet Earth. Now he was brave enough,
Speaker 2: And I would like to see more if you know
Speaker 2: you're gonna spend two and a half hours on this film,
Speaker 2: I would have liked to see more exposition when he
Speaker 2: was sort of laughed out of whatever conference he was
Speaker 2: at when he brought up this idea that nobody said
Speaker 2: was was realistic. Or life can exist without water, life
Speaker 2: can exist without water exactly.
Speaker 1: Carbon's hydrogen, oxygen, things like that. So I would have
Speaker 1: liked to see that more. That would have set it up.
Speaker 2: But you know, maybe it's better that we didn't, because
Speaker 2: then that would make him more of an endearing character
Speaker 2: to us.
Speaker 1: And I don't know.
Speaker 2: If we wanted, Like you know, ultimately we think this
Speaker 2: this guy's super brave and he's going to outer space
Speaker 2: to save the world, and then we see these scenes
Speaker 2: with and I gotta remember her name because I want
Speaker 2: to bring her up as well, sort of the female lead,
Speaker 2: and yes, Sondra Huler, Sondra Huler, where she like basically,
Speaker 2: you know, he tells her I'm not doing this, I
Speaker 2: can't do this, and we're like, wait, well, you're you're
Speaker 2: supposed to. This is Project Tail Mary, you have to
Speaker 2: you know. Like so that kind of caught me off
Speaker 2: guard a little bit as well. And then ultimately how
Speaker 2: he ends up going into space. I won't reveal that,
Speaker 2: but that was interesting too. So we're seeing this guy who,
Speaker 2: like we are set up for, he is not brave.
Speaker 2: He is willing to work and help on his expertise,
Speaker 2: but when the bullets started flying for real, he tried
Speaker 2: to cut and run.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, and you won't even hate him for it.
Speaker 1: And that happens because of the non linear aspect. That
Speaker 1: happens fairly late and exactly yeah, and you're like nah, nah,
Speaker 1: At least I was. I was like, nah, I get it.
Speaker 1: I totally get it. And like he is coming at
Speaker 1: it from the perspective I have. You are a family man,
Speaker 1: You're thinking about it from that perspective. I'm just thinking
Speaker 1: about it from a perspective, I want to keep watching movies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he has no family in this movie. He
Speaker 2: has no wife, he has no kids. There's no mention
Speaker 2: of an extended family like of his parents or any
Speaker 2: brothers or sisters. So he is like and maybe that
Speaker 2: was the struggle a little bit like I think they
Speaker 2: There is a line in the mo too where it's like,
Speaker 2: it's easy to be brave, you just have to find
Speaker 2: out who you're.
Speaker 1: Being brave for.
Speaker 2: And he didn't, you know, was he being brave for himself? No,
Speaker 2: it really wasn't. And and then when it came down
Speaker 2: to saving the world, like he had never been. These
Speaker 2: are all faceless people that he was saving. So where's the.
Speaker 1: Two names or two movies come to mind? One makes
Speaker 1: sense thematically, one absolutely does not. The one that does
Speaker 1: not make sense is Brave Heart. All men died, not
Speaker 1: all men truly live, and then Armageddon, every man dies.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be able to die saving the world,
Speaker 1: which is what Ben Affleck says, the exactly things he's
Speaker 1: going to be. The one I was trying to be
Speaker 1: a spoiler alert, Yeah, I was trying to justify to myself,
Speaker 1: like how would I convince myself that this was an
Speaker 1: acceptable route to take, And I think that probably would
Speaker 1: have ultimately been my attitude. It's like, well, Ben, you're
Speaker 1: gonna You're gonna bite it eventually. This is like people
Speaker 1: are gonna have to memorize your name for tests, for
Speaker 1: the rest of your for the rest of humanity. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can pull this off. That's pretty cool. I think.
Speaker 2: I think it like if it were me, I even
Speaker 2: having a wife and kids, I think the decisions kind
Speaker 2: of made for you, you know. I mean, like, listen,
Speaker 2: you are the only guy on this planet and we
Speaker 2: will die within thirty years or whatever it is. If
Speaker 2: you don't do this, Like to me, how do you
Speaker 2: at that point, and this is what it comes down to,
Speaker 2: at that point, how do you live out those thirty
Speaker 2: years knowing that there was a chance you could have
Speaker 2: saved all these people?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it would weigh on me every single day.
Speaker 2: You probably you'd honestly, you probably end up killing yourself,
Speaker 2: you know, and then why would you do that when
Speaker 2: you could have gone to space and it had a
Speaker 2: meaningful death, you know. So for me, I think it's
Speaker 2: one of those it's it's what what's the stages of grief.
Speaker 1: They always talk.
Speaker 2: About denial, anger, bargaining or whatever, and like at that point,
Speaker 2: like you would have had to go through that pretty
Speaker 2: rapidly and then ultimately decided, Okay, I have to do this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they touch. There's definitely an element of whistling
Speaker 1: past the graveyard in this. Like I thought there was
Speaker 1: some pretty good one liners in a movie that really
Speaker 1: isn't a comedy. There were a couple of times where
Speaker 1: my whole theater was cracking up. We don't know that
Speaker 1: that was a great line. There were a couple of
Speaker 1: moments I carry out that it was there was whistling.
Speaker 1: But like, realistically, and this might be a controversial take
Speaker 1: in your opinion, but the only scene where I think
Speaker 1: Ryan Gosling was actually acting well was when he is
Speaker 1: wrestling with the fact in space that he's not going
Speaker 1: to make it back and kind of talking with Rocky
Speaker 1: about it. I'd argue buying large. He was almost like
Speaker 1: when Mark Wahlberg plays a scientist, Like I was like,
Speaker 1: this is just Ryan Gosling in space, Like this isn't acting.
Speaker 1: This is He's like he's kind of like a Paul
Speaker 1: Rudd like fill in the blank. Here like one of
Speaker 1: those actors, Like if you had put Leo in this movie,
Speaker 1: I think I would have felt the impending doom of
Speaker 1: the nature of that chap a lot more than I
Speaker 1: do with Gossling. There was much more of a lighthearted
Speaker 1: That's that's why I started the way I did. There's
Speaker 1: like this lighthearted, care free attitude, well relative somber.
Speaker 2: Plot, and think about the movies that he's in, you know,
Speaker 2: and then think about the movies that DiCaprio is in,
Speaker 2: like they're so you had to know, like, Okay, this
Speaker 2: is the guy from remember the Titans, from the nice Guys,
Speaker 2: you know, from from all these uh you know.
Speaker 1: I think the heaviest thing he did you remember that.
Speaker 1: I think it was called Murder by Numbers.
Speaker 2: You remember that film Michael Pitts Andrew Bullock with, Like
Speaker 2: that's probably the heaviest thing he ever did.
Speaker 1: A drive was super heavy. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2: And I did like Fracture, which I think I brought
Speaker 2: up with you that that was a great movie too.
Speaker 2: But but in that there were these moments of levity
Speaker 2: where he was like this kind of like this cocky
Speaker 2: guy and brash or whatever. I love the the then
Speaker 2: the office style confessionals that he was recording, and Rocky
Speaker 2: has this supersonic hearing.
Speaker 1: There were many good funny moments.
Speaker 2: But I do think but that's Lord and Miller, man.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's what they do. They're they're so
Speaker 2: good at at at really bringing bringing these these little
Speaker 2: moments that break up the drama, break up the intensity.
Speaker 2: Uh and and you actually, you know, can kind of
Speaker 2: catch your breath and remember you're supposed to be enjoying yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, absolutely, And I will say I didn't realize
Speaker 1: that they were involved in the Spider Verse movies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I realized I'm a grown ass man. But I'm
Speaker 1: here to tell you right now, if they stick the
Speaker 1: landing on this third one, that's the best superhero trilogy
Speaker 1: ever made. Talk about it. There was just an update
Speaker 1: on that.
Speaker 2: I think next year they're it's coming out beyond the
Speaker 2: Spider Verse, the third one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was just an update on the news on it.
Speaker 1: If they are you up to date? Have you seen
Speaker 1: the first two? Yeah? Like the first one hit me
Speaker 1: like a ton of bricks. I watched I was like,
Speaker 1: this is great, and then the second one I thought
Speaker 1: was better, And like I went in with elevated expectations
Speaker 1: that felt like they were met. As long as they
Speaker 1: don't return to the Jedi this third one, there's a
Speaker 1: good chance because, like you know, the Dark Knight trilogy
Speaker 1: is fantastic, but there's there's some gripes with Dark Knight rises. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the first Captain America leaves a bit to be desired. Ye,
Speaker 1: this one if they stick it. So I didn't realize
Speaker 1: they were involved in These guys have a talent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs. They did that
Speaker 2: one as well. I also forgot about this, and I
Speaker 2: love these movies. I don't know how you feel about them,
Speaker 2: but they did twenty one and twenty two Jump Street, Yeah,
Speaker 2: which are fantastic.
Speaker 1: I actually use those as two of the last contemporary
Speaker 1: examples of real comedies. Like when I would say, I
Speaker 1: was like, guys, like now, comedies are making a bit
Speaker 1: of a comeback, But I would say, when's the last time?
Speaker 1: I was like twenty two Jump Street, I think is
Speaker 1: the last real comedy, right, it has come out in
Speaker 1: a very long time. But that was especially the first one.
Speaker 1: The first one killed me.
Speaker 2: This was actually this was the first movie they had
Speaker 2: directed since twenty two Jump Jump Street.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now they were involved as producers with the Lego movies,
Speaker 2: the Lego Batman and Lego Ninjago, but they actually did
Speaker 2: direct the original Lego.
Speaker 1: And even the Lego Like, it takes a lot for
Speaker 1: me to watch a kid's movie, Like, I've kind of
Speaker 1: moved on from that stuff. I loved the first Lego
Speaker 1: and Lego Batman.
Speaker 2: The first Lego movie was awesome. Yeah, like it was
Speaker 2: so so good, and the Batman one was fine. That
Speaker 2: was more of like, you know, okay, you ate your
Speaker 2: vegetables and now you can have.
Speaker 1: Your sugary dessert here. With Lego Batman, it just was
Speaker 1: you know, I've revised this, but it was a running
Speaker 1: gag back in Pittsburgh when I saw The Batman back
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. Yeah, like everyone knew how I
Speaker 1: felt about superhero movies. They're like, well, what'd you think?
Speaker 1: And I said it was the fourth best Batman movie
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, and they were like, that's crazy. You
Speaker 1: didn't like the Batman? Well no, no, But they were like,
Speaker 1: what were the first three? And I said The Dark
Speaker 1: Knight Batman nineteen eighty nine, and then I go and
Speaker 1: fight me the Lego Batman. Oh yeah, but I've since
Speaker 1: revised and I still have it. Third now I still
Speaker 1: like just for nostalgia purposes eighty nine. And then Dark Knight,
Speaker 1: I think is just.
Speaker 2: I just yeah, I mean, that's that's about as close
Speaker 2: to a perfect superhero movie as your.
Speaker 1: Every way Yeah, Dark Knight or The Batman Dark Knight. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: you'll just you.
Speaker 2: Know, the Batman was good. The Batman had elements of that.
Speaker 2: I think the problem, I don't know what what I
Speaker 2: had the issue I had because I think formulaic, formulaically
Speaker 2: if that's a word word, yeah, allow it there. They're
Speaker 2: laid out very similar, the Batman and The Dark Knight, absolutely,
Speaker 2: and for whatever reason, maybe it's just the charisma of
Speaker 2: Heath Ledger probably and that's probably the difference, honestly, uh,
Speaker 2: because Paul Dana was great as the Riddler, right, but
Speaker 2: at the same time, there was just this incredible mystique
Speaker 2: of what Ledger did with that character. Maybe that's just
Speaker 2: obviously the separator between the two.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you when I know we're thoroughly off topic
Speaker 1: at this point, but I don't hate it. Anyone who
Speaker 1: who enjoyed that movie read or watch. They made an
Speaker 1: animated version of it, but check out Hush because that
Speaker 1: was one of the two comments that inspired it that
Speaker 1: if they had done Paul Dano like that Riddler, I
Speaker 1: think there would have been a different attitude towards his character.
Speaker 1: I thought it was very forgettable.
Speaker 2: Did you see the uh the cut scene with Batman
Speaker 2: and the Joker and the Batman?
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty cool. I wish they left it in. And
Speaker 1: it was a three hour movie. I would have waited
Speaker 1: extra three minutes for that.
Speaker 2: Well, they're then they're making a sequel, so I don't
Speaker 2: know if and I forget the guy's name, he's he's
Speaker 2: actually a pretty it's.
Speaker 1: It's the the dude who creates the cult in the Eternals.
Speaker 1: I don't know his name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a Scottish actor. He was he was in
Speaker 2: the oh, what was the Brendan Gleeson Colin Farrell movie
Speaker 2: Banshe's of Insurance. Yeah, he was in that as well.
Speaker 2: And he's in this new movie coming out so I
Speaker 2: think it's just called Heist or the Heist. It might
Speaker 2: be a Netflix movie or whatever, but he's in it
Speaker 2: with it's like a bunch of stars in him. Riley
Speaker 2: not Ley.
Speaker 1: I'll look it up, but I never would remember it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think like it's very difficult unless you're
Speaker 1: Jared Leto to mess up being the joker, and it
Speaker 1: seems like he has a pretty firm grasp on how
Speaker 1: he's going to take that character and they keep him
Speaker 1: in shrouded. Check out the deleted scene. If you don't
Speaker 1: know what you're talking what we're talking about?
Speaker 2: You talking about with with Jared Leto.
Speaker 1: He's the only time that like there was a joker
Speaker 1: on screen that you're like, well, that wasn't captivating at all.
Speaker 2: Barry, Barry Kilgan, Okay, Cogan, I guess is what it is.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know if he's signed on for
Speaker 2: for the for the next band.
Speaker 1: Jared Leto comment offend you. What was the lettle comment?
Speaker 2: I just it was the only time that there was
Speaker 2: a joker on screen it wasn't captivating.
Speaker 1: You were just like, oh, that was forgettable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a little too cartoonish.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like it just didn't do anything for me. But
Speaker 1: Heath Ledger Jack Nicholson even says Romaro Romero in the
Speaker 1: The Old Bat TV show. Yeah, yeah, what's his name?
Speaker 1: Luke Sywalker, Mark Hamill's voice in the animated joke, like, realistically,
Speaker 1: you really can't miss. The only time there was ever
Speaker 1: a miss was I.
Speaker 2: Will say this, the the joker that that preceded Letto's
Speaker 2: joker was Ledgers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you were kind of falling on your sword. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, no matter.
Speaker 2: Anyway, getting back to Project Tail, Mary, Yeah what okay,
Speaker 2: so this I wanted to bring this up with you.
Speaker 2: Executive producer Ryan Gosling, star of the movie, Dominant screen time,
Speaker 2: Ryan Gosling. This is a total Ryan Gosling vehicle. But
Speaker 2: it was tremendous.
Speaker 1: It was It was much better than How to Killing
Speaker 1: Again if you're going to create a vehicle for yourself.
Speaker 1: By the way, he didn't act in it is my problem.
Speaker 1: He acted in it. He cries in a scene. Sure,
Speaker 1: I just I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, Like when when you are in
Speaker 2: that situation, I just feel like anything's possible, Like he
Speaker 2: could have taken he could have taken that character any
Speaker 2: which way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like I said, it just it gave
Speaker 1: me the happening vibes you gave me. Mark Well, Mark
Speaker 1: Wahlberg is a biologist. Huh yeah, yeah, okay, all right,
Speaker 1: that was the vibe. Okay, I'm starting to warm up
Speaker 1: to that a little bit.
Speaker 2: I don't think we talked about this the This is
Speaker 2: based on a film based on a book book written
Speaker 2: by Yeah, we both screwed that up, written by the
Speaker 2: same dude who wrote The Martian, Yeah, which I thought
Speaker 2: also was a tremendous movie. And I don't I don't
Speaker 2: think you could have flip flopped Damon and Gostling in
Speaker 2: those movies, you know what I mean, Like, maybe maybe
Speaker 2: you could have, but I think like this the roles,
Speaker 2: and maybe they just wrote it for Gosling and they
Speaker 2: wrote it for Damon because there there are much more
Speaker 2: heavier moments in The Martian than there were in Project
Speaker 2: Tail Mary, Oh my god. Yeah, which we need to
Speaker 2: find out what other books has this guy written about
Speaker 2: space because we got to figure figure like what the
Speaker 2: next movie is gonna be with both great movies, yeah,
Speaker 2: and and there is you know, my high school chemistry
Speaker 2: teacher always says this, the best sci fi movies are
Speaker 2: the ones and by the way, I don't know know
Speaker 2: if I necessarily subscribe to this. He said, the best
Speaker 2: sci fi movies are the one where there's like one
Speaker 2: piece of scientific information that's flipped or twisted or it
Speaker 2: non existent or whatever. And and he said, when when
Speaker 2: you just have like those one little bit where everything
Speaker 2: else is correct, it's awesome believability with this whole I mean,
Speaker 2: I know we got to suspend, we got to suspend
Speaker 2: disbelief for a film like this, but believability on everything
Speaker 2: that was going on the plot. Did it seem ridiculous
Speaker 2: to you at all? Did it seem like this is
Speaker 2: so nonsensical I can't get around it.
Speaker 1: Not only was it what did I not feel that way?
Speaker 1: But I would argue if there were ever a movie
Speaker 1: where a movie type where you don't have to suspend believability.
Speaker 1: It's a space travel movie because you know what's in space, Balky,
Speaker 1: literally everything is in space. It goes on to infinity
Speaker 1: and somehow it's still growing, so like and that's still growing.
Speaker 1: That's great, Like it's always expanding, Like how does that
Speaker 1: even wrap your mind around that it's infinity? But also
Speaker 1: there's an edge to it and it's growing like this
Speaker 1: is well beyond either of our I'm understanding that.
Speaker 2: I couldn't even begin in to but some I thought
Speaker 2: about it for a half second of my head hurts song.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so the idea that we that we saw
Speaker 1: some of this stuff. Like we had a conversation about
Speaker 1: this last week about whether or not you appreciate when
Speaker 1: movies leave stuff up to your imagination or when they
Speaker 1: show you stuff. I thought this was such cool the
Speaker 1: alien ship that you see in this that you think
Speaker 1: that they'll leave up to your imagination until towards the
Speaker 1: end of the movie. Then you get to see it
Speaker 1: and I was like, this is cool as hell, Like
Speaker 1: I really like the way that they are interpreting what
Speaker 1: this looks like. And again, there is none of that,
Speaker 1: Like I always go back to freaking New World Order
Speaker 1: or whatever. It was the Falcon Captain America movie where
Speaker 1: they had to do reshoots and there's a scene in
Speaker 1: a park that's obviously a green screen, right, and I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there looking at this, and I'm like, there's no
Speaker 1: special Like, this is all practical effects. This is absolutely stunning.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they're doing any of this, but
Speaker 1: this is awesome, right, and like I don't know what
Speaker 1: a ship would like. All of it felt real, the
Speaker 1: astrophage or whatever, the new fuel type that they discover,
Speaker 1: they discovered new fuel types all the time. It's absolutely
Speaker 1: within the realm of possibility. I absolutely loved all of
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: The astrophage is what powered the ship to get there, yeah,
Speaker 2: but that's also what was eating the sun.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, all right, yeah, but they found out they
Speaker 1: could also use it to out steal and propel them forward.
Speaker 1: That kind of jazz. But like even even Rick and
Speaker 1: Morty play with with this idea about the infinity of space,
Speaker 1: and that's for you know, it's not for children, but
Speaker 1: it's a cartoon. It's a simple cartoon that plays with
Speaker 1: this idea and it really it expands your horizon that
Speaker 1: like it can look like anything out there. There's one
Speaker 1: alien species in that show that doesn't breathe oxygen. They
Speaker 1: actually sustain off of heroin. And so we're sitting there like,
Speaker 1: you can't use that'll kill you. It's like, no, actually,
Speaker 1: if we if we don't have heroin, we die. And
Speaker 1: that absolutely could exist because enough chemical components. That's basically
Speaker 1: the whole thesis of Ryan Gosling's paper of some species
Speaker 1: might not need oxygen or water or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: And sure enough, that's all we come across in this
Speaker 1: and I thought that was an awesome interpretation. And not
Speaker 1: only they did not subsist off water, but it's subsisted
Speaker 1: off something that we can't even quantify, right, Like they
Speaker 1: were naming it while we were out there. That seems
Speaker 1: since it's infinite, there's an infinite amount of pussibility that
Speaker 1: so signed up for that. Yeah. I loved it. I
Speaker 1: absolutely loved I like from space. It's hard to make
Speaker 1: a space movie where I was like, bah, yeah that
Speaker 1: was garbage. Like it's very difficult for me to come
Speaker 1: out of a space movie that way. Really. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: as long as you put time in it. If you're
Speaker 1: trying to make some bush league Star Wars just to
Speaker 1: make a quick buck, yeah, sure I should mention.
Speaker 2: Lord and Miller also directed the Solo movie, The Solo
Speaker 2: Star Wars movie.
Speaker 1: Very forgetaboy. I saw it one time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it did nothing for me. But I'm not a
Speaker 2: huge Star Wars guy either.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me neither.
Speaker 2: Now I want to bring this up. The guy who
Speaker 2: did the screenplay for Project Tail Mary. His name is
Speaker 2: Drew Goddard. Okay, okay, Drew Goddard wrote episodes for Buffy
Speaker 2: the Vampire Slayer.
Speaker 1: Nice callback.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Angel alias and Lost Okay intriguing. Then he went
Speaker 2: into screenwriting and film do you know What's what?
Speaker 1: Movies?
Speaker 2: He wrote the screenplay for I'm gonna take that as
Speaker 2: a no No, The First clover Field Okay, World War
Speaker 2: Z all right? And The Martian, Oh Cool. And he
Speaker 2: wrote the screenplay for Project Tail Mary as well. He
Speaker 2: won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Martian.
Speaker 2: So this guy's got some chops and this will surprise
Speaker 2: you not at all, Ben. In twenty eleven, he debuted
Speaker 2: as a director, directing the film The Cabin in the
Speaker 2: Woods wonderful?
Speaker 1: How about that? That's wonderful? How about that? That movie's
Speaker 1: way better than this one. But I was.
Speaker 2: Also disappointed that Ken Lung, who actually wasn't lost. I
Speaker 2: was disappointed that he was hardly in this and it
Speaker 2: basically everybody was. The body of Eintrube too, was hardly
Speaker 2: in its own What was.
Speaker 1: That guy's name? Lionel Boyce plays Carl, who's a service
Speaker 1: by far the best character in the movie. I doubt
Speaker 1: he was. He was killing me when he says, are
Speaker 1: you sitting down? Because it's like I wrote the line,
Speaker 1: And anytime someone says something like, that's exactly what I
Speaker 1: would have said in that scenario. I always find that
Speaker 1: to be appealing. He's like, are you sitting down right now?
Speaker 1: And he goes, no, I'm standing like a grown ass man.
Speaker 1: Like no one else in the theater. I was in
Speaker 1: a pack theater. No one else in the theater was laughing,
Speaker 1: and I was like, that was that was my favorite line,
Speaker 1: like like that character. None of the characters were in
Speaker 1: it in any meaningful way, but I thought everybody did
Speaker 1: a good job. I almost say Austin did a bad job,
Speaker 1: but relative to how much screen time he had, like
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have minded a couple other characters having slightly
Speaker 1: larger roles.
Speaker 2: There is an audiobook for Project Tail Mary Okay, and
Speaker 2: Ray Porter voiced Rocky in that. In that audiobook, you
Speaker 2: might know Ray Porter as portraying the villain dark Side
Speaker 2: in Zack Snyder's Justice Leaguer. Oh wow, okay, okay, and
Speaker 2: then you know who else stayed.
Speaker 1: A minute dark Side. He was like he was barely
Speaker 1: in it then.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, no, in the in the Zack Snyder in
Speaker 2: the Snyder cut, he played more about he was more
Speaker 2: okay in that one anyway, and then you know who
Speaker 2: else voiced Rocky in this movie in like an alternate voice,
Speaker 2: because Rocky had a few different voices. Academy Award winner
Speaker 2: Meryl Street.
Speaker 1: That was funny too. Is there anything she can't do?
Speaker 1: Apparently not? Who who did the AT and T girl play?
Speaker 2: She was Elisa il Yakina, who was a Russian engineer
Speaker 2: aboard the Hailman.
Speaker 1: Even recognize her in the movie? Yeah, she was.
Speaker 2: So she was with Ken Lung and like it was
Speaker 2: the three of them Goslin going to space.
Speaker 1: And if you.
Speaker 2: Remember back to when they're introducing the crew, they were
Speaker 2: talking about how they're going to how because they can
Speaker 2: choose how they want to die in space? Yeah, and
Speaker 2: she said, oh, I'm gonna takekay.
Speaker 1: That was her. Didn't even realize that was her. That
Speaker 1: was such a great line. I don't remember what the
Speaker 1: concoction was, but.
Speaker 2: It was like, well, something something like Heroin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, ironically enough, Yeah, it was the Heroin just.
Speaker 2: Like actually was was born in the Soviet Union.
Speaker 1: It was Bekistan Milana Beintrue believe it or not?
Speaker 2: Okay, and now AT and T Lily Yeah, and issues
Speaker 2: on Silicon Valley for a little bit.
Speaker 1: Speaking of the assisted suicide thing here and when they're
Speaker 1: talking about if you're Ryan Gosling, because I found that
Speaker 1: to intriguing. You've accomplished the mission, you know, beyond the
Speaker 1: shadow of a doubt. You've done all you can do,
Speaker 1: You've shipped the things off. Nothing you're going to do
Speaker 1: beyond that, assuming you know you can't find any escape planner.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously there's more to the movie. But he's
Speaker 1: talking about he was like, Oh, yeah, I have enough
Speaker 1: food to last me a couple more years. And I
Speaker 1: even stretch it out and I'm sitting there and I'm like,
Speaker 1: what what the hell are you gonna do with They're like,
Speaker 1: you're really gonna hang out in that? Like me personally,
Speaker 1: once it's mission accomplished, and I know, like I've triple
Speaker 1: checked my work, so I'm not gonna have to double
Speaker 1: back and do anything. I'm probably calling it right there.
Speaker 1: Like the idea that he would be like, oh no,
Speaker 1: let me let me do this for six more years,
Speaker 1: just hang out in this in this omni like this
Speaker 1: omni dimensional beach simulation that I can create, and they're like, nah,
Speaker 1: I think I'm good. I think I'm just gonna call it.
Speaker 2: So so I think there's a lot that goes into that.
Speaker 2: It's a really really I keep bringing up heavy, but
Speaker 2: it's a really heavy.
Speaker 1: Thing it is. But that's when I found myself, That's
Speaker 1: where I found my mind going. While I was watching,
Speaker 1: I'm like, why would I Why would I want to
Speaker 1: keep doing this for a guy who I'm also a
Speaker 1: creature comfort kind of guy? You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Well, let's analyze the character a little bit. I no wife,
Speaker 2: no kids, no family, no no close friends. It seems like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, this is a guy who probably prefers solitude.
Speaker 1: I would imagine. Sure.
Speaker 2: Okay, so once everything's done, initially my mind and this
Speaker 2: is how my mind works, initially, I'm like, okay, nothing
Speaker 2: that that is hard, that is worth doing, is ever
Speaker 2: done done. Like on the first attempt, something went wrong
Speaker 2: and he didn't realize it. So initially that's what I'd
Speaker 2: be like, Okay, I've done everything on my end, but now,
Speaker 2: as long as I can survive up here, why wouldn't
Speaker 2: I keep this going just just in case, Just in case,
Speaker 2: because eleven years of past or whatever, I don't know
Speaker 2: what's going on. There's another ship coming to me, say
Speaker 2: we need this, We need this, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe there's tech advancements and they come, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I've already tracked off my statement.
Speaker 2: Now, so there's that. And I'm not saying you were wrong.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying no, but you I didn't think about
Speaker 2: it from that perspective. At some point though, Yeah, I'd
Speaker 2: start my anxiety would kick in. You're in it, you
Speaker 2: got again. Absolutely, My anxiety would kick in when I
Speaker 2: see my food reserves running low. Yeah, and I see that, Okay,
Speaker 2: this decision is about to be made for me. Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: So then at what point do I say, Okay, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm not starving.
Speaker 1: I'm not taking that route absolutely, not like you can't
Speaker 1: get new movies. Like it's not like you're gonna have
Speaker 1: new entertainment up there. You're not gonna there's not in
Speaker 1: all likelihood, there's not going to be a second person, right, which, yeah,
Speaker 1: but no, that's fair. That's that's when that's when it
Speaker 1: gets tough for for me.
Speaker 2: Not not right after, but when I see, when I
Speaker 2: see the realization hitting me in the face. That then
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, now now I now it's now it's
Speaker 2: decision time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, yeah, Okay, that's fair. That's fair.
Speaker 2: And I think, like, you know, how long did he
Speaker 2: say he had reserves for?
Speaker 1: He just said years. He didn't put a numbers, Okay.
Speaker 2: So like if you have that, isn't there comfort knowing
Speaker 2: that you don't have to make this decision yet?
Speaker 1: Yeah? There is to do it when you're ready. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And and.
Speaker 2: And maybe at some point and be like, you know what,
Speaker 2: I screw this, I've saved the world. I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: out on my terms now. Yeah, maybe i'd feel that way.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: You have to be suspended light years away from Earth
Speaker 2: for year, get that mind, to get in that mindset
Speaker 2: to find out, like and so, I don't know, it's
Speaker 2: just it's one of those things.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I loved the friendship as well. Like realistic guy,
Speaker 1: I found myself watching the movie. I'm like, oh, they're
Speaker 1: doing an X Men right now, is what they're doing?
Speaker 1: Like an X Men? Yeah? X Men is like it's
Speaker 1: not even subtle, but like X Men is all about
Speaker 1: like racism and like understanding that people are different and
Speaker 1: that we all provide something to society and looking past
Speaker 1: our differences, and this kind of takes it to the
Speaker 1: nth degree. I even talk about it on my show
Speaker 1: all the time, Like I think war is an outdated concept.
Speaker 1: I was like, we all have the internet now, like
Speaker 1: we see what people in other countries are doing, Like
Speaker 1: we're all humans. Like the only time that I would
Speaker 1: be uneasy is if an alien came to Earth. I'd
Speaker 1: be like, well, I don't know what this thing's intentions are.
Speaker 1: Could have an entirely different moral code than what I do.
Speaker 1: Maybe they just need our water. And it's not even personal.
Speaker 1: I don't trust this thing, yea. And so this essentially
Speaker 1: kind of bridge that gap. You're learning from something that
Speaker 1: is entirely different from you, but you realize like he's
Speaker 1: got a wife or a partner, part he's got a
Speaker 1: he's got a he's got once and needs, and this
Speaker 1: is how he eats and this is how it sleeps. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there are all these great scenes there, and it was
Speaker 1: it was a very cool take, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: they're doing an next one. I was like, they're getting
Speaker 1: people to not even realize that it's telling you that
Speaker 1: we have more in common that we realized. But it's
Speaker 1: not heavy handed enough that I think people. I think
Speaker 1: that's why it's got the ratings.
Speaker 2: It wasn't heavy handed at all because I didn't even
Speaker 2: pick up on it. So you think it's reasonable, well
Speaker 2: now I do absolutely. Yeah, Okay, that that was kind
Speaker 2: of my interpretation of it. I loved Rocky as a character.
Speaker 2: I'm not too keen on the design. I wish there
Speaker 2: would have been more pronounced features, I guess, And and
Speaker 2: even that that's not even the best the best way
Speaker 2: of saying it, I don't know. I just felt like
Speaker 2: when I was watching it, it was like such a dark
Speaker 2: blob for for the majority, you know, and I was
Speaker 2: just like, what am I?
Speaker 1: What am I seeing here? What am I seeing?
Speaker 2: What is what is Ryland Grace seeing here? And I
Speaker 2: guess ultimately that wasn't the thing they were trying to bring,
Speaker 2: like the communication and working towards the solid that was
Speaker 2: a goal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And there was one scene where even its top
Speaker 1: half almost moves independent of its body when's walking. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I would have liked more of that, Like you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, it's like that kind of movement. Give
Speaker 1: it a little because I think I might have even
Speaker 1: said this last week, but like, by far, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: the best interpretation of an alien on screen is the Xenomorph,
Speaker 1: and I don't even think there's a close secon like
Speaker 1: the alien aliens. Oh okay, Like I don't think there's
Speaker 1: even a close second to what the alien was. And
Speaker 1: I'm always when I heard it was all practical the
Speaker 1: aliens and Independence Day, that's that second. It's not close.
Speaker 1: Oh really yeah, not close? Yeah, but I do enjoy
Speaker 1: those aliens as well. And they even said welcome to
Speaker 1: Earth two or three times in this movie, and I
Speaker 1: immediately went to Will Smith in my head, welcome to Earth.
Speaker 1: Pitch yeah, welcome to Earth. And I just don't know
Speaker 1: what I call close encounter. Yeah. I don't know why
Speaker 1: peppered the B word in there.
Speaker 2: I just I felt like he was saying that, maybe
Speaker 2: because ever since the slap, I've I've thought, wow, it's
Speaker 2: like that gritty, dirty yeah.
Speaker 1: But I like that was probably the most disappointing part
Speaker 1: of all this to me is I heard it was
Speaker 1: all practical effects, Like there's a movie life if you
Speaker 1: ever saw it, with Ryan Reynolds and a handful of
Speaker 1: other actors the aliens. This CG. I blob. I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's a good movie, but it was like pass or
Speaker 1: you know, fill in the blank.
Speaker 2: What was the movie with Amy Adams and Jeremy Reuner Arrival? Yeah,
Speaker 2: and do we see aliens in that? I don't remember.
Speaker 2: That was a forgettable one.
Speaker 1: I think you see like a silhouette like of it
Speaker 1: through like a light that's almost blinding. But I think
Speaker 1: that's about us and even that, like, I'm cool with
Speaker 1: the leave it to imagination, But in terms of I
Speaker 1: always joked. It's always like, I think my imagination is
Speaker 1: a cool place. I can envision some really cool things.
Speaker 1: But like, very rarely does a movie show me something
Speaker 1: that I haven't thought of that I'm like, that's a
Speaker 1: terrifying creature in the xenomorphm Like, oh, yeah, that's it's
Speaker 1: it's blood is acid, and it's got a mouth inside
Speaker 1: of its mouth and it moves faster than me.
Speaker 2: And what about where to War of the World's Aliens rank?
Speaker 1: Yeah, just garbage free. Yeah, I liked the machinery. The
Speaker 1: tripods were cool, but again that was even from the
Speaker 1: book let alone, Like it's not like they thought of that.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, very rarely, because I always joke, like
Speaker 1: people say, oh, that was the scariest thing I could imagine,
Speaker 1: and like anytime someone says that, I'm like, well, you
Speaker 1: clearly don't have a particularly vivid imagination, because I can
Speaker 1: think of plenty of stuff scarier that I couldn't create
Speaker 1: it in the real world, but I can think about
Speaker 1: it in my head for sure. Yeah, and the Xenomorph
Speaker 1: is one of the only experiences where I'm like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: that's that's a terrifying terrifying In Rocky it wasn't supposed
Speaker 1: to be terrifying, but it wasn't particularly engaging, or.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have made this decision, And clearly they didn't
Speaker 2: make the decision either. What if you make it scarier,
Speaker 2: like not to the xenomorph level?
Speaker 1: Wait's Rocky?
Speaker 2: Yeah, if Rocky comes like is like this dangerous looking
Speaker 2: alien or whatever, and then ultimately is like actually a
Speaker 2: friendly alien. They work together and like, you don't change
Speaker 2: anything in the story.
Speaker 1: Oh, that would have been cool. That would have been
Speaker 1: a better movie for you. It would have been cool
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 2: It would have been all right for mass audiences, don't
Speaker 2: I don't think it would have worked out nicely.
Speaker 1: This won't be a shock to you at all. But
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there waiting for the shoe to I'm like,
Speaker 1: when's it gonna turn out he needs to envelop Earth's
Speaker 1: atmosphere in order for him to get what he needs.
Speaker 1: Like I was waiting for them to be at odds
Speaker 1: and like, I guess that's technically a spoiler. It never happens.
Speaker 1: Like they just build a wonderful friendship and it's it's
Speaker 1: a very nice friendship. You will feel for this inanimate
Speaker 1: object in a way that I think the old It's
Speaker 1: not inanimate, but it's not real to us like it
Speaker 1: is it is, Like it's like I sit there watching
Speaker 1: the original Gremlins and I'm like, God, I want a
Speaker 1: magua so freaking bad. Like it's hard to get me
Speaker 1: to want something that is. It is objectively not a
Speaker 1: real thing. And like Rocky, I wish he looked cooler,
Speaker 1: but like you will find himself pulling for this fake
Speaker 1: thing in a way that you're like, oh right, this
Speaker 1: is a movie. Rocky's not a real ring like and
Speaker 1: that's a that's a feat in and of itself that
Speaker 1: that I think should be acknowledged. What was her name,
Speaker 1: Sandra Huller?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Heuler. I think there's a umlaut on it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so yeah, so Culer who. I'm gonna look it up
Speaker 2: right now. I assume she's German, but I don't want to.
Speaker 1: Be without a doubt. UM love to German.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you could be so anybody with an umload
Speaker 2: on their last name is German.
Speaker 1: Yeah what?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's actually okay? Are you speaking facetiously or legit?
Speaker 1: I guess technically the internet exists and someone could prove
Speaker 1: me wrong, but I feel I took German for five years.
Speaker 1: I feel confident.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, well you you are more experienced than
Speaker 2: I am.
Speaker 1: Do you want to take a guess how old she
Speaker 1: is in real life? Forty one? Okay, you went the
Speaker 1: wrong way.
Speaker 2: I thought she was much older than what she is
Speaker 2: in real life, and you thought she was much younger.
Speaker 1: She's forty seven. Well no, because you asked me, because
Speaker 1: there was even a point where I thought, did they
Speaker 1: age her in the movie? Maybe they did, because like,
Speaker 1: she looks older at points in the movie, and I
Speaker 1: was thrown off by that. But yeah, no, I'm not
Speaker 1: surprised by that age at all.
Speaker 2: I think it was I think it was crucial that
Speaker 2: you can't have a romantic relationship developed between Gosling's character
Speaker 2: and her character because it would kind.
Speaker 1: Of ruined the hole. Who are you being brave for?
Speaker 2: Like where he he's going up there to save the
Speaker 2: world and he doesn't really have anybody worth saving in
Speaker 2: his own life, So you couldn't develop that relationship. But
Speaker 2: I think there was a friendship there a little bit.
Speaker 2: I thought they were going to lean into a love
Speaker 2: story there.
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 2: She just looks so old. She looked like his mother
Speaker 2: to me.
Speaker 1: But like how old Ryan Gosling, he just looks young.
Speaker 1: Oh that could be yeah, but anyway, go on, you
Speaker 1: had more to that, Yeah, well, now I have to
Speaker 1: look up Brian Goslick's age. He is forty five. Yeah, okay, Canadian.
Speaker 2: By the way, So I was watching an interview with her.
Speaker 2: Now you know the karaoke scene in this movie?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: So I was watching an interview with her and I
Speaker 2: can't remember where it might have been Conan, No, it
Speaker 2: wasn't Conan. I don't know, it's not the point. And
Speaker 2: she was talking about they she got to pick the
Speaker 2: song for that scene that she sings.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, And.
Speaker 2: She was looking through like play and stuff that she had,
Speaker 2: and she was looking for something sad because it was
Speaker 2: sort of like supposed to be a sad scene and
Speaker 2: she found this one and it resonated. No, you know what,
Speaker 2: I think it was Ryan Gosling telling this story about
Speaker 2: it and that's and so anyway, so she picked it
Speaker 2: and it was this Sign of the Time song by
Speaker 2: Harry Styles, which was the first single off his first
Speaker 2: solo album, which came out I don't know how many
Speaker 2: years ago now, like ten, maybe more than that. I
Speaker 2: don't know what's interesting about this is and I don't
Speaker 2: know if SNL did this on purpose. Gosling hosted SNL
Speaker 2: to promote this movie. Sure the following week, Harry Styles
Speaker 2: was hosted musical guest. So in the monologue when Gosling hosted,
Speaker 2: Harry Styles is sitting in the audience and Grian Gosling's like,
Speaker 2: what are you doing here? You don't host still next week.
Speaker 2: He's like, oh, it's been a while since I've done this,
Speaker 2: trying to get back into the well. The thing that
Speaker 2: they had planned for the monologue was this epic song
Speaker 2: dance outer space routine of Gosling and these women singing
Speaker 2: Sign of the Times or whatever, and and he's trying
Speaker 2: to do it in front of Harry Styles, it was
Speaker 2: very very love that.
Speaker 1: I love that I'd never heard that song before, and
Speaker 1: I was really yeah, it was like I might do
Speaker 1: this a karaoke like this is a.
Speaker 2: Good song, and it's a good song. He he, he's
Speaker 2: saying it the first time. He was a solo host
Speaker 2: on on SNL and uh, I mean it's a good
Speaker 2: I heard.
Speaker 1: Like the way it was marketed, it was like it
Speaker 1: was like.
Speaker 2: Bowie meets Queen or something like that, like for that song,
Speaker 2: because it did. It does have this epic sort of return.
Speaker 2: But there is a I read about that that it's
Speaker 2: supposedly about, And I don't know if Harry Styles wrote
Speaker 2: I think somebody else wrote it. But it's supposed to
Speaker 2: be about this woman who's pregnant and giving birth and
Speaker 2: the doctor tells her. He comes in and he tells her, Look,
Speaker 2: your baby's healthy, your baby's gonna be fine. You are
Speaker 2: not going to survive this. So it's her coming to
Speaker 2: terms with this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a heavy freaking movie. Guys. Well yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I mean this that's the specific song. Now.
Speaker 2: I don't know if Sandra Huler knew the backstory of
Speaker 2: that song when she picked.
Speaker 1: Well the lyrics matched the plot, Like you're sitting there
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, she's singing about what's happening. Obviously
Speaker 1: it fits to what you're describing as well, but it
Speaker 1: absolutely was going along with the vibe of that scene
Speaker 1: in the moment, and even at that point, Gosling didn't
Speaker 1: even know he was going. He didn't at that point.
Speaker 2: And so now that karaoke scene was that, like how
Speaker 2: far how far in advance was that of the launch?
Speaker 1: Was the launch the next day? No, because I don't
Speaker 1: even think the things that had happened that pushed Gosling
Speaker 1: into needing to go.
Speaker 2: Had had Okay, so we're talking about like weeks before,
Speaker 2: they're just getting together just to blow off steam. And yeah,
Speaker 2: because the astronauts are getting a little lit that night too.
Speaker 1: Right, And even they even bring it up in the dialogue.
Speaker 1: He's like, you know, I'm surprised how jovial they all are,
Speaker 1: and they kind of explained why. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: cool moments like that that make it worth it. Now,
Speaker 1: I will say, and this is actually how I meant
Speaker 1: to start the show, and now I remember what my
Speaker 1: cold open. But we got there forty five minutes, in
Speaker 1: which at least we got there? We are When did
Speaker 1: this come out? Will this Friday be three weeks ago days?
Speaker 1: I believe that's accurate. I went on a Tuesday showing
Speaker 1: as I am wont to do. Yeah, I had to.
Speaker 1: I got there five minutes for the movie started eause
Speaker 1: I had a ton of crap to do. I had
Speaker 1: to pick a seat in the second row. I have
Speaker 1: never sat this close to a screen, did you. I
Speaker 1: mean it was a dream lounger. So I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm over here like this and I'm doing the thing.
Speaker 2: Isn't that kind of a cool way to watch this
Speaker 2: specific movie?
Speaker 1: Though, I'm gonna be real with you, I was getting
Speaker 1: a little nauseous at times, really because the cameras spins
Speaker 1: and like it's done in a way that wasn't a
Speaker 1: planetarrea no. Like I I kind of liked it, but
Speaker 1: at the same time. But I say all that to say,
Speaker 1: if it were a lesser movie, this would have been
Speaker 1: a much angrier podcast today, because I think if it
Speaker 1: even were average, I would like it lessened the experience.
Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna cold open with you about
Speaker 1: was how the experience watching a movie impacts the movie itself,
Speaker 1: even though it's the same.
Speaker 2: Are you still doing the thing where you go to
Speaker 2: the gym right before? Not as much as I would
Speaker 2: like to be that because you're maximized or you're minimized,
Speaker 2: or you're not minimizing, but you're not maximizing your enjoyment
Speaker 2: of us. So if your theory is to be proven
Speaker 2: true that you are in a better mood than you.
Speaker 1: Feel better after much I will say. They threw Running
Speaker 1: Man on YouTube TV. I caught it over the weekend
Speaker 1: and got that movie's good. Yeah, this guy's so good.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, I feel that. But so I'm up
Speaker 1: close and there's a lot of scenes where like they'll
Speaker 1: have it sideways and then they turn it while they're talking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I am not emotion sick this guy, especially watching
Speaker 1: something definitely not to well.
Speaker 2: It's in space, like there is no like up down
Speaker 2: and what I.
Speaker 1: Feel it in my stomach at times like oh, is
Speaker 1: this because I'm freaking seven feet from this giant screen
Speaker 1: or is this because of how they shot it? I
Speaker 1: can't tell, but like I'm definitely feeling it with this one.
Speaker 1: Which again there's a lot of production value stuff that
Speaker 1: did not go unnoticed during my viewing, and I have
Speaker 1: to say, to have that kind of a theater three
Speaker 1: weeks almost after the fact, I think this was the
Speaker 1: first weekend that it was dethroned by the freaking Mario movie.
Speaker 1: Of course, but it had been killing it in the box.
Speaker 1: By the way. They love it. I'm sure they love it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, it seems like it's just sugar in movie form,
Speaker 1: so I'm sure everyone loves it. But but yeah, I
Speaker 1: just I didn't want to. I always like adding how
Speaker 1: into it it seems people are, and clearly a lot
Speaker 1: of people still interested in seeing this one almost three
Speaker 1: weeks out. Could be a testament to how weak the
Speaker 1: competition is or word of mouth spreading about this. I
Speaker 1: have no idea, but yeah, I've never had to sit
Speaker 1: that close, not even just in the Fox Cities, but
Speaker 1: in general, I've never been that close to a movie
Speaker 1: screen in my entire life.
Speaker 2: So I sat in the front row for I sat
Speaker 2: in the actually I sat in the second row, the
Speaker 2: furthest over to the left.
Speaker 1: That you can get.
Speaker 2: And this was like in the ultra screen days when
Speaker 2: it was a huge theater. So if you were sitting
Speaker 2: way off to the sure it was not comfortable. Armageddon
Speaker 2: is where I sat for that ironic, ironic, Yeah, second
Speaker 2: second roll, way to the left. I also sat in
Speaker 2: the front row for I believe Star Wars episode one,
Speaker 2: or maybe it was three now I think it was three.
Speaker 2: I think it was the last one of that of
Speaker 2: that trilogy, and that was not great. I sat in
Speaker 2: the second row next to my father for the James Bond,
Speaker 2: the the last one that Daniel Craig did No Time,
Speaker 2: No Time to Die or whatever it was. I know
Speaker 2: you're not, I know you're but I sat next to
Speaker 2: him for that and we were sitting pretty up close,
Speaker 2: and I was like, my dad is never going to
Speaker 2: go for this.
Speaker 1: But he made it. He made it through.
Speaker 2: I mean it was like in his mid sixties at
Speaker 2: the time or late sixties at the time.
Speaker 1: He made it through.
Speaker 2: It's not comfortable like sitting that close at all.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, not at all. And again, if it were,
Speaker 1: if you had seen Phantom Menace that closed. I already
Speaker 1: hated that movie Phantom Menace. That you hated. Phantom Menace,
Speaker 1: the first one of the sith Yeah, well here's the
Speaker 1: dealboll I thought. The second one, I can't remember what
Speaker 1: it's called, the Wars Attack of the College Clones. Yea, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was the worst thing that was garb. Yeah, agreed.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. First one came out in ninety nine.
Speaker 1: My uncle and my aunt took me to go see it.
Speaker 1: I still remember it like it was yesterday, and I
Speaker 1: went with my brother. It was the four of us,
Speaker 1: and like, like we just said earlier in the podcast,
Speaker 1: not a huge Star Wars guy, No one in my
Speaker 1: family is. And that was the last time I saw it. Yeah, well.
Speaker 2: Nine, I'll be honest with you, I was totally so.
Speaker 2: I had a lot of Star Wars super fan friends
Speaker 2: in high school and they made a big deal out
Speaker 2: of it, and as a result, I kind of made
Speaker 2: a big deal out of it, but not nearly to
Speaker 2: the degree that they did.
Speaker 1: So I was. I was keen on seeing it.
Speaker 2: Dude, my Star Wars fan has waned so much that
Speaker 2: the episode nine, which was the final Adam Driver, I
Speaker 2: can't remember her name now.
Speaker 1: The ray I don't remember, Yeah, razy.
Speaker 2: Daisy, Yeah Daisy, I can't think of it. Four or
Speaker 2: five years after it had been released. Yeah, that's when
Speaker 2: I finally saw it. I just I could not. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm out.
Speaker 1: I'm with you, man, I I'm right there with you
Speaker 1: with those movies. That's so I said it's possible to
Speaker 1: make a space movie. I'm like, that was mediocre and
Speaker 1: it's Star Wars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think Star Wars is and it all
Speaker 2: comes back to Marvel. They're kind of undergoing the same oversaturation,
Speaker 2: you know, with the TV shows and spin off movies
Speaker 2: and everything.
Speaker 1: And I still maintain, and my diehard Star Wars fans
Speaker 1: hate for friends hate when I say this, best Star
Speaker 1: Wars movie ever is the original Guardians of the Galaxy.
Speaker 1: I think I said that last week. Yeah, I still maintain, like,
Speaker 1: give me that over any of them. My I freaking
Speaker 1: saw the Last Jedi, yeah, the eighth one, yeah, the
Speaker 1: second one with Ray and I went with a diehard
Speaker 1: Star Wars guy that I was worked in sales with
Speaker 1: and that came out at the same time there was.
Speaker 1: It was the first time I saw the trailer for
Speaker 1: Infinity War. And so we go to work on Monday
Speaker 1: and all my coworkers asked me, like, you saw the
Speaker 1: Last Jedi, what did you think of it? I said,
Speaker 1: the most exciting part was the Infinity War trailer. I
Speaker 1: did not care about any of that movie, right, and
Speaker 1: my friend like, you don't listen to him. It was
Speaker 1: fantastic and pop up, up, up up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to bring this up when you talk
Speaker 2: about a crowded theater three weeks in. Yeah, and you
Speaker 2: saw it on a.
Speaker 1: Tuesday, Yeah, which is the cheap day, which is encourages
Speaker 1: more people. But still but you didn't see it at night,
Speaker 1: right Nope? Yeah, no, two thirty so the same time
Speaker 1: as my Dunnis appointment. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: My kids hate me when I when I bring that up.
Speaker 2: And anyway, my one of my other companies I work for,
Speaker 2: we have a slack chat, you know the slack app
Speaker 2: where you can kind of like keep up and you know,
Speaker 2: it's like an ongoing record. It's like an I Am
Speaker 2: like an instant messenger thing, but it's categorized and you
Speaker 2: post on certain things and certain categories. So we have
Speaker 2: this random category and occasionally we'll bring up TVs or
Speaker 2: movies or stuff like that. And one of my friends
Speaker 2: or co workers in there brought up, by the way, guys,
Speaker 2: not not if you're looking for a new movie project
Speaker 2: tail Mary is pretty good. And then like three other
Speaker 2: people chimed in, Oh, yeah, it was awesome. I loved
Speaker 2: that movie and I said, how I was. You know,
Speaker 2: our this episode is going to be out coming out
Speaker 2: Thursday afternoon, and I said, you guys can listen to
Speaker 2: it or whatever. And I said in that it will
Speaker 2: be so refreshing to talk about this movie as opposed
Speaker 2: to the three previous ones we've had, where they've all.
Speaker 1: We've been really down on them, you know, like just
Speaker 1: now it was three weeks ago. I know we hated
Speaker 1: Undertone and Ready or not Ready or another one. I remember,
Speaker 1: Oh the Bride, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which was the loss to the loss of the
Speaker 2: an so so so and and just really effusive. And
Speaker 2: I think this movie appeals to pretty much everybody, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: no matter what type of movie you.
Speaker 1: Like, human character development, original, true hero's journey story. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean like, it's very impressive visually with not without
Speaker 1: going too high into the to the tech thing. There's
Speaker 1: a lot. Again, I thought there were moments where it
Speaker 1: dragged a bit, but again I also am just messed
Speaker 1: up internally, so there might be people, you know, I
Speaker 1: I think that maybe it dragged a little bit, I guess,
Speaker 1: but I think that that not that I want to
Speaker 1: defend the filmmakers.
Speaker 2: But I think sometimes you need in a in a
Speaker 2: with an idea, with a plot like this, I think
Speaker 2: when it drags and it feels like, you know, boredom
Speaker 2: seeping in, that's kind of what the characters are experiencing
Speaker 2: as well, Shostling and Rockney. And whether that's intended or not,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Right now. You sound like the directors of the Darkest
Speaker 1: Thrones episode. Ever. No, it was that hard to see because.
Speaker 2: Right exactly, I said, and I said, I don't want
Speaker 2: to defend him because I don't know if they made
Speaker 2: this choice, you know, but I'm just saying, like, well,
Speaker 2: maybe that.
Speaker 1: They don't let him get away with it, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: So so in any event, that's my point, Like, no
Speaker 2: matter what type of movie you like, this this really
Speaker 2: appeals to everybody. And I don't know anybody who has
Speaker 2: seen it that was like, oh, yeah, this is an
Speaker 2: overrated piece of crap.
Speaker 1: You know, if there was one.
Speaker 2: Complaint, I'd have two and a half hours and we
Speaker 2: basically got to see one.
Speaker 1: Character get developed. Yeah, and that was Gostling.
Speaker 2: That was it. Rocky is is. I don't know how
Speaker 2: much character development there was there? Yeah for him, I
Speaker 2: mean I guess there was something, but there was nothing
Speaker 2: else in this movie. I mean, this is like, seriously,
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty minutes of Ron Gosling. And if
Speaker 2: you like Gostling, and I do, you're gonna like this
Speaker 2: for sure, you know.
Speaker 1: So Yeah, my two cents on that. Yeah, I dig that.
Speaker 1: And again, I think it's the I think that's why
Speaker 1: part of it felt like it dragged is because we're
Speaker 1: essentially watching a two character but technically one character. Yeah,
Speaker 1: work here for lack of a better term, But I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't have a whole hell of a lot more
Speaker 1: to say about it, but like I'm at a point
Speaker 1: where I would say, easy eight and a half, Like
Speaker 1: eight and a half is what I was gonna do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't gonna put it nine because I felt
Speaker 2: like there was still some meat on the bone here,
Speaker 2: especially when you have all these elements of space and
Speaker 2: the visual stuff was cool, probably could have been a
Speaker 2: little cooler. You have an alien in this movie, could have.
Speaker 1: Been a more interesting alien.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you had other characters that really weren't explored.
Speaker 2: So easy eight and a half borderline to nine. But
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give it eight.
Speaker 1: And a half. Yeah, and like what's funny is because
Speaker 1: like now I'm measuring everything up against the only ten
Speaker 1: I've done on this, which is that good Luck.
Speaker 2: Don't no, I thought the only ten you ever did
Speaker 2: was the Rachel mccadams one.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right. I think, in my heart of hearts,
Speaker 1: I'm mad. I want to give that a nine and
Speaker 1: a half and give yeah good luck half. Thought that
Speaker 1: was just such a fun movie, and like so that's
Speaker 1: that's but again, that is a subjective measure, like, you know,
Speaker 1: the kind of stuff that I like, and this definitely that. Again.
Speaker 1: I don't think I would have seen it if it
Speaker 1: weren't for off topic in theaters. In theaters, I just.
Speaker 2: I feel like with a space movie like this, with
Speaker 2: as big of a budget, with as good a reviews
Speaker 2: that it got, and we haven't looked up the tomatoes,
Speaker 2: have we obscene?
Speaker 1: I actually looked it up just now because we were
Speaker 1: talking about it ninety four ninety six.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with that, I mean, wouldn't you. I mean you're
Speaker 2: doing yourself a disservice not seeing in the theater. You know, now,
Speaker 2: I get it if it's like some sort of but.
Speaker 1: I only know this now that I've seen it because
Speaker 1: you don't look up the ratings before very rarely. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, I get it. Yeah, I get it. And
Speaker 1: that's yeah, that's kind of where I stepped. Honestly, if
Speaker 1: we weren't doing off topic outside of Ready or not too,
Speaker 1: I probably would have laid low the last couple of
Speaker 1: weeks movies wise. Right, That's why I like doing this
Speaker 1: because it forces me out of my comfort zone a
Speaker 1: little bit. Even if you're like, God, that sucked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it makes you appreciate the good ones even more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I agree, and it makes me more
Speaker 1: well rounded. So I'll take that any day of the
Speaker 1: week now. Yeah, in terms of next next week, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got somens in her I do. Okay, well, what
Speaker 1: do you have?
Speaker 2: How familiar are you with the Faces of Death franchise.
Speaker 2: I'm not Faces of Death came out. I remember, this
Speaker 2: is a big thing in the nineties, like when I
Speaker 2: was growing up, and it was these videos these like
Speaker 2: that were shot that allegedly showed real life.
Speaker 1: Murders being taken place.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, and that was a big thing that would
Speaker 2: come out in Halloween or whatever and all. Look, oh
Speaker 2: there's new Faces of Death. You gotta check it out.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I was like, you know, you will talk about R
Speaker 2: rated and NC seventeen rated. This was like beyond NC seventeen.
Speaker 2: So I even in my heart of hearts, I never
Speaker 2: would even you know, because like, oh it's rated R.
Speaker 2: I can't wait. I can't wait to see it behind
Speaker 2: my parents. But I wouldn't even have contemplated watching.
Speaker 1: Right, I'm familiar with this, okay?
Speaker 2: All right, So there is a movie called Faces of
Speaker 2: Death opens up this weekend wide release. Barbie Ferrera is
Speaker 2: starring in it. You may know her from Not On
Speaker 2: Anymore Euphoria season three.
Speaker 1: Now I'm not a sixteen year old girl, you know that.
Speaker 2: That's that's so ridiculous that that you would say that
Speaker 2: how many episodes of Euphouri have you watched?
Speaker 1: Exactly?
Speaker 2: They have nothing you have, You have nothing to stand on.
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: So season three comes out this Sunday, but she's not
Speaker 2: in it anymore.
Speaker 1: She left the show.
Speaker 2: But she's the star of this and I believe she's
Speaker 2: hosting some she doesn't host. She's like a monitor and
Speaker 2: it's they don't use YouTube, but it's another you know,
Speaker 2: like YouTube type, okay, and she's like a monitor of
Speaker 2: this and these videos are popping up anonymously, and she's
Speaker 2: starting to get the inkling that these are not stage,
Speaker 2: they're not set up, that these are actually really people
Speaker 2: dying in real life.
Speaker 1: Oh that comes out this week. Okay.
Speaker 2: Other than that, there's a lot of limited releases that
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're going to hit the Fox
Speaker 2: Valley or we could go back to Scream seven as well. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so unless you have something else.
Speaker 1: The only thing I was going to suggest, and I'm looking,
Speaker 1: I looked up Faces of Death and the failing New
Speaker 1: York Times articles the first thing that pops up here,
Speaker 1: and it just says Faces of Death set the bar
Speaker 1: for hardcore horror. It's back. And I was just like, well,
Speaker 1: that's probably enough for me to be on board with this.
Speaker 1: The only thing I was going to suggest is the
Speaker 1: person who we reference in this podcast quite often, John
Speaker 1: Jordan on WAPL, came up to me. He never comes
Speaker 1: to my desk. I normally have to walk up to him,
Speaker 1: and he physically walked up to my desk on Monday
Speaker 1: and he goes Pizza movie and I went the comedy
Speaker 1: that just released on Hulu, and he was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's starring the heavier set kid from Stranger Things. I
Speaker 1: don't remember what his name is now, with the curly
Speaker 1: hair and the speech impediment.
Speaker 2: Oh Gavin, Yeah, it's got a real E'TI.
Speaker 1: In any event, it's starring him. And it's basically like
Speaker 1: this generation's Harold and Kumar, Like they get incredibly messed
Speaker 1: up and they have to go downstairs to get the pizza.
Speaker 1: And it's the adventure that they go on trying to
Speaker 1: get the pizza from downstairs. And he said, I have
Speaker 1: not seen a comedy like this in so long, and
Speaker 1: I did not know that this Face as a Death
Speaker 1: movie came out and that's streaming. It's available on Hulu
Speaker 1: right now. So we could do that on a back
Speaker 1: burner at a time where we're really desperate. I can
Speaker 1: very easily be talked into Faces of Death because that
Speaker 1: was my pizza movie thing. I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: actually good or not. This is a John Jordan recommendation,
Speaker 1: but that would have been my suggestion for where we
Speaker 1: head with this from here.
Speaker 2: So okay, so based on what you're saying, I agree
Speaker 2: with you. We should do Faces of Death. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: we should keep Pizza movie in.
Speaker 1: The yeah, on the back burner in case. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then if I won't watch it until we decide that
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it for a podcast, and then I'll
Speaker 1: check it out then and we can go from there.
Speaker 2: So the so number one that's Star Wars is Daisy Ridley.
Speaker 1: Oh, I never would have remembered Ridley. I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: real with you.
Speaker 2: Gayton Matarazzo is the is the character from Stranger Things,
Speaker 2: the heavier kid.
Speaker 1: I never would have got that. I was talking about
Speaker 1: what was his name in Stranger Things, like forget you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Oh he was dust Dustin Henderson. Okay,
Speaker 1: there is okay, yeah, please real names, get out of here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. So that'll be the plan and then well
Speaker 2: we'll figure it out in two weeks.
Speaker 1: But Faces of Death yeah all right, yeah, yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: excited about that. I like that. I'm I feel like
Speaker 1: I've like I'm glad we're doing this. I'm glad we're
Speaker 1: doing this year. I can't believe you suggested that. I
Speaker 1: can't believe I didn't even know. There's not a whole lot.
Speaker 2: Yes, that is it, and I feel like there's like
Speaker 2: a horror a new horror movie coming out like every
Speaker 2: two weeks. Now, it seems like that's bankable.
Speaker 1: Well no, well that's uh, that's always been the case
Speaker 1: because they're so cheap to make. They want to compete
Speaker 1: with the actual ratget movies, so you release. Now, that's
Speaker 1: why all the R rated horrors come out in September
Speaker 1: because you're really not h it like one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty million, and it blew all the records out of
Speaker 1: the water for horror. So like that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: Face is a Death, Gonna go check it out, Definitely
Speaker 1: look forward this one that's bulky. I'm bad and this
Speaker 1: is off topic. We'll talk to you guys next week.
