Like Paul, I was a 86 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.680 tender hearted child, teen and now adult. So I've been 87 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.759 able to experience some movies like Fatal Attraction American Psycho 88 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.879 that I never would have actually watched. Thank you Paul 89 00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:05.680 for doing the good work for those of us who 90 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.840 cover our eyes in anticipation when the dramatic music swells. 91 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.599 That is that is what I'm doing here.

And number two, 100 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.240 Dream a Little Dream, which might possibly have been a 101 00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:39.360 fever dream.

It was written by 126 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:48.600 Dorin Laffer and it reads, Paul and Erica are funny, classy, 127 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:52.600 and astute. I could listen to them review an infomercial 128 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:53.600 and still be entered. 129 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.240 Am I like that? Classy is still coming through? 130 00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.399 Classy is still coming through? Honestly, we should do infomercials 131 00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:03.360 from the nineties. Have you ever watched No, of course 132 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.000 you didn't. You went outside as a kid. Yeah, I 133 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.759 was an indoor kid, and on Saturday mornings after like 134 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.160 after the cartoons were done, they would do like fully 135 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.920 half an hour infomercials where it was like a half 136 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:20.720 hour show about like a submersion blender, like what I like, 137 00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.800 how to make mayonnaise with a submersion blender and shit 138 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.879 like that. I watched so many. 139 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.199 Of those when there was a kid. I don't think, 140 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.240 I like. I think. The closest I've come is seeing 141 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.279 the parodies on SNL like the Bassomatic. 142 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.399 People think, oh, those must have only been like five 143 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.560 minute commercials. No, no, no, no no. They were thirty 144 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:43.000 minute paid advertisements of one product. 145 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:46.560 Were they able to create a story like like did 146 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:47.920 it go from A to B? Or do they just 147 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:50.240 do like the same thing, the same five minute things 148 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.399 six times in hopes of catching someone? 149 00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.800 No, they created stories. So basically they do demonstrations and 150 00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.360 then they'd get like a housewife who's like I used 151 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.680 to not be able to cook, and now woh with this, 152 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:02.319 I was able to. And then they go to the 153 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.959 housewives home and just show her making a meal with 154 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:05.439 the thing. 155 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:06.360 Oh my god. 156 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:09.839 Oh it's a whole production and they were fantastic. 157 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.600 Okay, I love the idea.

I do love a bleep blop movie. 191 00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:53.919 I'll say it. 192 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.720 These were fun movies. And the funny thing too, is 193 00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.080 like I would say, this one is pretty hmmm. I 194 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.639 don't want to use the word realistic. This one is 195 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.840 this one hues to some level of reality that I 196 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.639 can almost understand, like I could almost see happening, but 197 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:17.519 like it's so insane, Like it's so bleep bloopy. 198 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:21.399 All right, So Wargames was written by Lawrence Lasker and 199 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.919 Walter F. Parks Erica. I don't know if those names 200 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.679 sound familiar to you, but those are the exact same 201 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:28.679 authors as our previous movie Sneakers. 202 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:30.759 Dude, I did not clock that. 203 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.000 I did not know that until after this was chosen. 204 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:34.279 I was like, oh, well, I guess we're doing back 205 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:35.879 to back Lascar in Parks production. 206 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:41.080 I had no idea. Okay, there is there are similarities here, Yep, 207 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:41.759 there's an arc. 208 00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:46.720 Wargames was directed by John Badham and stars Matthew Broderick, 209 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:49.559 Ali Sheety, John Wood, and Dabney Coleman. 210 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.919 War Games was nominated for three Academy Awards Best Original Screenplay, 211 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.320 which lost to Tender Mercies. I've never seen Tender Mercies, 212 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:00.960 nor have I. That doesn't sound I'm gonna. 213 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:02.519 Tad it doesn't sound like a hoot. 214 00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:04.440 No, I'm just gonna put that out there. There's no 215 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:10.080 way that's a That's a Gene Wilder comedy. Best Cinematography, 216 00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:13.000 which it lost to Fanny and Alexander. I've seen that one. 217 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:14.399 Definitely not a hoot. 218 00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:16.559 Is that like the eight hour Swedish film it is? 219 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.120 It's a very long it's I don't I don't know 220 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.039 if it's eight is it? It might be, but it's 221 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.720 a very long Bergman film. Yeah. It's a very good 222 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:28.360 film and beautifully beautifully filmed. And it was also nominated 223 00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:30.919 for Best Sound, which it lost to the right stuff. 224 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:32.039 Sure. 225 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.360 The fact that this was nominated for cinematography is kind 226 00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:36.480 of wild actually, now that I think about it, because 227 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:38.960 I at no point while I was watching this movie 228 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.159 was I like, who that shots incredible? 229 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.840 I don't know, like could could all of the computer graphics, 230 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:45.919 which I know are laughable to us now, but like, 231 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:49.120 could the could all of that have been something? I 232 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:52.440 don't know. It's purely purely hypothetical. 233 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:55.440 Like, yeah, but that's not cinematography though, that's that's special effects. 234 00:10:55.480 --> 00:11:00.000 I'd say, right, yeah, production design. Yeah, I that's just interesting. 235 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.840 I'm just curious, is to I would actually now like 236 00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:05.840 to rewatch this movie with that in mind and look 237 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.840 at the cinematography, because I clearly I've missed something. 238 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:10.879 Yeah, yeah, because I like thinking back on it, like, 239 00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:13.720 it's not bad cinematography, it's just not like the attention 240 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.159 getting it don't feel like Erica. Allegedly, John Lennon was 241 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:21.559 interested in playing the role of jaded scientist Stephen Falcon, 242 00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:24.200 but was assassinated while the script was still in development. 243 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.240 Well, if you wanted to fucking kick me in the 244 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.720 balls today, Paul, you've done it. Congratulations. 245 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:30.639 I should have warned you. I should have warned you 246 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:32.240 about the ovary punt that was coming. 247 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:37.279 Holy sh I've never wanted something more that I didn't 248 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:42.440 fucking get. That would have been awesome. 249 00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:43.360 It would have been awesome. 250 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.600 It would have been fucking awesome. Oh man, now I'm pissed. Well, 251 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:47.759 couldn't they have gotten Ringo? 252 00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:49.720 Then you have said that Ringo's a great actor. 253 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.960 Ringo's not bad, Like honestly, of the four, if you've 254 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.399 seen their films, which I have, of the four, Ringo's 255 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.320 actually the best actor. I think Ringo would have fucking 256 00:11:59.399 --> 00:11:59.840 nailed this. 257 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:03.000 To be fair, John Wood, who plays this role, is 258 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.639 the thing that lands this entire plane, solely by himself. 259 00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:10.639 War Games has a ninety four percent critical rating on 260 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:14.759 Rotten Tomatoes and a whoa a seventy six percent audience score. 261 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:17.200 I did not expect to drop. 262 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:18.919 I thought it was going to be high in the 263 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:23.039 audience score. It's hard to figure out, like because we're 264 00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:25.600 so far removed from this, like this is forty years ago. Now, 265 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:27.960 this is more than forty years ago this movie came out. 266 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:29.519 I don't know that I would give it ninety four 267 00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:32.000 percent critically speaking, but I but a lot of that 268 00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:36.399 is just simply because the technology of movies is so different. 269 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:40.799 But I think like overall, it injects enough silliness into 270 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:44.960 this very deep dark plot that it keeps it light 271 00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.480 and it kind of walks the tight rope and manages 272 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.600 to make a point I didn't even realize it was 273 00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:52.919 driving towards pretty well. I would rank it high. I 274 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:54.399 would give it a really high critical rating. 275 00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:56.879 Like the moral of the story is war is futile 276 00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:59.440 and there are no winners in war, and it's told 277 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:04.240 in this very poetic way. Actually, the only slight issue 278 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.000 is is if you're going into this movie expecting like 279 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:13.159 a tight espionage thriller, that is not what you're going 280 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.840 to get. Yeah, I don't think you've seen these films. 281 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.639 So have you ever seen like Doctor Strangelove No. Or 282 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:20.919 two thousand and one. There's a scene in Doctor Strangelove 283 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:22.360 when I can't remember who the characters are. I think 284 00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:25.720 it's the president and like the head of the military 285 00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:28.240 are like fighting each other and someone screams, there's no 286 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:32.480 fighting in the war room. That's what Doctor Strangelove is. 287 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:34.720 That's that. And so there's a lot of that going on. 288 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:36.519 I think in this movie where it's like it's a 289 00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:39.960 little of a parody on top of it's not trying 290 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.840 to be like Trenchant analysis, it's trying to be kind 291 00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:44.399 of funny and lighthearted about it. 292 00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:48.519 Yeah, there's real like like particularly with his parents, because 293 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:50.720 at first I was like, what's going on with his parents? 294 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:53.360 And I was like, Oh, they're a parody of an 295 00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:58.679 American white picket fans, purely comic, stupid creations that have 296 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.080 almost no plot purpose other than to inject a little 297 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:04.080 bit of humor, yeah into the plot. And so yeah, 298 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:06.559 it's it's interesting. It's a really interesting movie. 299 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:09.000 So that's where I think maybe the seventy six percent 300 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.440 is coming from. Where it's people who maybe came in 301 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.559 we are going into this thinking they're going to watch 302 00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:17.240 something that's like really polished, and it's not polished. 303 00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:18.159 It's shaggy. 304 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:21.519 None of it actually makes any sense. No, And I'm 305 00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:23.440 not talking about the computer stuff. I'm talking about the 306 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:28.200 human behavior stuff. None of the human behavior makes any sense. 307 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:31.799 Agreed, Agreed. So when did you first see the movie, Erica? 308 00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:34.440 I thought I had seen this movie. I swore i'd 309 00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:37.279 seen this movie, But I have seen is another Matthew 310 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.200 Broderick kind of computery hackery movie called Project x Ah. 311 00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:44.120 He like helps to free a bunch of monkeys who 312 00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:46.399 are being experimented on in a lab. 313 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:48.679 Okay, I thought that was this. 314 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:52.639 Yesterday. It is the first time I've seen this movie, 315 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:53.320 how about you, Paul? 316 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.159 Yesterday? I had never seen this movie. I never even 317 00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:58.679 heard of this movie. I was not overly aware that 318 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.240 Ali Sheety had a career prior to The Breakfast Club. 319 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:02.919 If you'd asked me, I would have said she had done, like, 320 00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:05.039 you know, she'd probably been in some things, but had 321 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.200 no like feature film career prior to The Breakfast Club. 322 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:10.279 This is this is pre Breakfast Club Ali Shety. 323 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:12.639 And she's amazing. 324 00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:13.639 Playing a wildly different character. 325 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.679 I honestly might big takeaway from this is Ali she 326 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.039 should have been a bigger star than she and she became, 327 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:25.120 because she is so watchable like and there's something really 328 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:26.159 magnetic about her. 329 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.279 I wonder if she kind of like is one of 330 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:32.440 those character actors in a leading woman's body, because Alison 331 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:35.159 in The Breakfast Club is not like the lead like well, 332 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:37.000 I mean, they're all this an ensemble cast, but she's 333 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:38.639 not like the pretty princess girl. 334 00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:38.840 Right. 335 00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:42.600 That's Molly Ringwald. Yeah, Alison's a little darker, like maybe Ali. 336 00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:45.600 Sheety herself is like, I don't want to be the 337 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:47.720 charming movie star. I want to do something interesting. 338 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:50.360 Oh I bet, I bet, and I bet. She was 339 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:53.120 offered a bunch of nonsense and the the eighties that 340 00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:54.919 she was like, can I try something different? 341 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:59.080 So Erica. The tagline for wargames is is it a game? 342 00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:00.279 Or is it? 343 00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:05.480 Oh? Okay, I'm always so happy when there's a good tagline. 344 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:08.799 Such a relief. It's a balm to your soul. It's 345 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:10.840 an actual tagline. It makes sense for the movie. 346 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:11.399 Mm hmm. 347 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.120 The answer is both, it is a game, and it's 348 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:14.679 also real. 349 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:16.960 It's also very fucking much real. 350 00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:19.120 Should I read the iTunes synopsis? 351 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:19.559 Sure? 352 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:24.519 Okay. A teenager bored by traditional high school subjects like 353 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:29.639 biology but fascinated by computers, accidentally taps into the Pentagon's 354 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:34.360 top secret computer, the USA's NORAD system. That's not correct, 355 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:35.960 That's that's not what happens. 356 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:38.440 That's how it happens, and also I don't anyway, keep 357 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:39.320 moving on. 358 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.960 He starts what he innocently believes is a computer game 359 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.240 called Global Thermonuclear War. 360 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:49.480 So much fun you guys so fun.

And Lieutenant Steve Phelps played by Michael Madson, 429 00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:16.079 otherwise known as that guy that is in everything. 430 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.039 Everything, He's in every Quinton Tarantino movie. 431 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:20.519 Hear play this game in the Erica.

Numbers like wow, is 439 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:38.440 in everything well done? 440 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.880 Michael Madson, I actually like have a note that's like, oh, 441 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:44.960 babyface Michael Madson. That's so because I've seen him play 442 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:47.720 like ruthless Killers. Yeah, you had to see him play 443 00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:51.079 like a like a sweet like maybe twenty five year olds. 444 00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:53.440 I don't even I didn't even recognize him. I was like, 445 00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:55.480 that guy looks familiar, but it's in that way that 446 00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:57.680 like every one in the eighties kinds of looks kind 447 00:20:57.680 --> 00:20:59.359 of looks alike now to our eyes, because they all 448 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:01.279 have the same dumb hair cut in the same like. 449 00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:05.279 All right, So Lawson and Phelps head into the cabin 450 00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:08.799 and they are quickly led into an entire complex that 451 00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:12.119 it that's hidden behind the cabin facade, this military complex. 452 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:14.640 Behind this facade, they go up to a window, or 453 00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:16.519 not a window, they go up to a mirror and 454 00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:19.119 they just flash their badges and then we cut from 455 00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:21.599 the other side of the mirror and you see the 456 00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:27.640 entire facility this like all metallic, cavernous, incredible like military 457 00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:30.680 facility behind this window. It's such a cool shot. Okay, 458 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:32.440 maybe now I'm getting that cinematography. 459 00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:35.599 That's true. That's actually the shot of them walking into 460 00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:37.559 the cabin too. There's like I was like, is it 461 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:39.920 a dust storm or is it fog or I actually 462 00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:43.279 couldn't tell what the particulate in the atmosphere are supposed 463 00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:44.960 to be. But it's a very cool shot of them 464 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:47.599 walking in and like all this stuff blows in after them. 465 00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:50.319 So yeah, we're finding that cinematography as we talk, we're 466 00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:55.519 finding it. Okay, they head down into the nuclear command 467 00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:57.759 center to start their shift. They will leave two other 468 00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:01.039 guys and they go into this like sea off room 469 00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:03.759 that's I guess it's not air type, but it's very 470 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:07.000 like pressurized and they are they're isolated. What is the 471 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:09.200 farting protocol in a room like this? Do you think? 472 00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:11.359 I don't know the farting protocol? Paul? But did you 473 00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.279 see the sign that said anyone caught urinating in here 474 00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:15.839 will be immediately discharged? 475 00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:19.279 I did not. Anyone caught discharging will be discharged. 476 00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:23.079 So Okay, here's the thing I do. Have happened often 477 00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:27.440 enough that someone had to go to Kinko's yeah and 478 00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:30.440 be like, don't ask why, but I need a sign 479 00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:31.599 that says this. 480 00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:35.519 Well. Also, because they say it's a twenty four hour 481 00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:38.720 shift and they're in this room and I'm like, what 482 00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:42.039 what is the bathroom protocol? Like, this is the command 483 00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:45.319 center for if the president decides we need to launch 484 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.480 our nukes. Yeah, and it requires two people to turn 485 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:50.000 the keys, which means it really should be a three 486 00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:52.720 person team in there so everyone. If someone needs to 487 00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:55.160 go dump out, they don't have to rush it. 488 00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:57.440 Well. Also, someone just like feints or something or has 489 00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:01.359 as a reaction to the tense stress of the situation. 490 00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:05.960 Yeah, Almost immediately the command comes through, it's time to 491 00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:09.160 launch the nukes. It's time to make the donuts. Let's go. 492 00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:09.839 Ah. 493 00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:13.599 They immediately start going through their routine laws and starts 494 00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:16.559 to sweat lost ins. Leo McGarry eternally middle aged. He says, 495 00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:18.359 I don't want to be responsible for the murder of 496 00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:21.240 twenty million people. He tells Phelps get someone on the phone, 497 00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:23.119 and Phelps like, that's not the protocol. He's like, get 498 00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:24.960 someone on the phone before I launch these nukes. I 499 00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:28.039 can't do it. No one picks up the phone. The 500 00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:30.920 tension is rising, the music is getting more and more dramatic. 501 00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:34.119 Phelps gets angry at his superior officer. He's demands that 502 00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:37.519 he follows orders. The countdown continues. He draws a gun 503 00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:40.279 on Lawson. He says, get ready, get your hand on 504 00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:42.119 that key, and the countdown hit zero. 505 00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:47.160 So tense, so tense. Such a tense scene also slight spoiler. 506 00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:51.000 We're gonna find out later that Phelps, the older man 507 00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:53.400 just couldn't do it, and he didn't launch the nukes. 508 00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:56.240 The younger guy did. And we both know now that 509 00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:58.079 there was like the younger guy was holding a gun 510 00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:00.240 to the older guy's head. The should die if no 511 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:02.200 one gets shot in the scene we find out later. 512 00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:05.319 But like, man, how awkward is their friendship going to 513 00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:05.880 be after this? 514 00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:07.960 I feel like like we don't know how to resolve this. 515 00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:09.440 We just have to cut, We just have to cut 516 00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:09.920 away from this. 517 00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:13.400 Well, it's also it's a great cut because it feels real. 518 00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:16.480 We later will find out it's a simulation. Like in 519 00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:19.200 the next scene we find out it's a simulation. But 520 00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:24.039 like this seems so real and so terrifying. Yeah, and 521 00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:26.279 like it's a great beginning to the movie. Like the 522 00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:29.759 movie just like draws you in immediately, right, And. 523 00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:31.160 They do such a good because these are such two 524 00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:33.400 good actors too, that they're like as they're walking in, 525 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:36.599 they're chatting about like normal everyday stuff. Like they they 526 00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:40.680 create this very lived in camaraderie and friendship that is 527 00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:43.039 destroyed in the space of like ninety seconds. 528 00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:45.279 Yeah, because one guy just can't do can't bring himself 529 00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:48.200 to do the thing his whole life has been pointing to. 530 00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:51.240 Yeah, can I say just one thing? The Cuban missile 531 00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:54.599 crisis was avoided by people refusing to launch nukes. 532 00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:57.559 Yeah, I really know what I think about it. Let's 533 00:24:57.559 --> 00:24:58.759 stop thinking about this right now. 534 00:24:58.839 --> 00:24:59.759 Stop it, stop it. 535 00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:05.000 We smash cut to an incongruously happy, cheerful score. 536 00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:09.519 Think Think John Phillips, SUSA writing a graduation march for 537 00:25:09.559 --> 00:25:10.079 West Point. 538 00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:12.359 It's like one guy holding a gun on another going 539 00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:22.759 launch the dukes, launch the nukes. What the fuck? So 540 00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:27.440 we headed to NOD the North American Aerospace Defense Command 541 00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:28.720 For those of you who don't know. 542 00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:30.640 That, idiots, obviously I knew it. 543 00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:37.640 I'm not learning it now Inside Norad. Doctor John McKittrick 544 00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:40.680 played by Dadney Coleman. I'm always so happy to see 545 00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:45.440 Daphney Coleman. Dadney makes my day every goddamn tom to 546 00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.279 see him. He is debating General Jack Behringer, played by 547 00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:53.240 an excellent Barry Corbyn. Yeah, this is like, this is 548 00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:54.680 my favorite performance in the movie. 549 00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:55.680 It's all really right. 550 00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:58.599 Like, not not that it's the best, because John Wood 551 00:25:58.640 --> 00:26:01.759 is the best, but this guy knows exactly how to 552 00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:03.960 play this character in a way that's funny. 553 00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:06.839 It's also clear because because you have Dabney Coleman, at 554 00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:08.720 least this was my experience. I know it's true of everyone, 555 00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:11.160 but because you have Dabney Coleman, I'm like, I know 556 00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:14.200 that Dabney Coleman's gonna be wrong. He's gonna be like 557 00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:17.839 he's not even the villain, but he's just wrong in 558 00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:19.440 this movie, right, Like, isn't. 559 00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:21.440 Even really a villain in the movie, Like none of 560 00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:23.799 these all these people turn out to be very decent 561 00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:27.680 human beings. Yeah, they're fundamentally wrong and they're bad at 562 00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:30.880 their jobs, but they're not bad people. Yeah, you know, 563 00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:34.079 like none of them are bloodthirsty warmongers. They're just idiots. 564 00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:36.920 They're just idiots. Whereas like Behringer is like he's not 565 00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:40.519 foghorn leghorn, but he is foghorn. He's like half foghorn, likehorn. 566 00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:43.880 It's so close, it is so close, it's really he's 567 00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:49.000 like he's like smoking cigars and so okay. So McKittrick 568 00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:52.720 and Barringer are in front of two representatives from the 569 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:55.039 President of the United States. We never meet potus in 570 00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:57.839 this film, So we learn in this scene that the 571 00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:01.000 scene we just watched was just a simulation, right, that 572 00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:04.000 didn't actually happen. It's something the military puts its men 573 00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:07.880 through to see if they've got basically the medal to 574 00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:11.519 actually launch nukes, and turns out that it wasn't just 575 00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:13.039 these two guys. It was a whole bunch of other 576 00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:15.400 others that they were testing as well, and a full 577 00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:18.440 twenty two percent of them refused to launch the nukes 578 00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:19.440 when the time came. 579 00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:21.880 Does this not seem just like cruel and unusual punishment 580 00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:23.680 to put your soldiers, Like, I understand there has to 581 00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:28.599 be some order, but like, can you imagine launching them 582 00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:34.640 and then finding out it was just a test. That's 583 00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:35.200 hard to come. 584 00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:38.359 Back from Actually, no, I'd be thrilled. I'd be thrilled 585 00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:39.480 to find out it was just a test. 586 00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:41.559 Oh no, I mean like you'd be happy, but like you. 587 00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:43.920 Would be yeah, But then every single time in the 588 00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:46.079 future that I was told to launch the nukes, in 589 00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:48.319 my head, I'd be like, this is probably just a test. 590 00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:50.880 Oh okay, so I didn't think that much about it. 591 00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:53.720 And then that would make it okay for me to 592 00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:54.599 launch the nukes. 593 00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:56.160 Sure I would. 594 00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:58.599 By the way, I would never be put in this position. 595 00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:00.880 This is this is not a job for Erica's. 596 00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:03.039 I would know, not a job for Erica's, not a 597 00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:03.799 job for Paul's. 598 00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:06.000 Erica's would be too like, are we. 599 00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:12.200 Sure this seems hasty? Guys, why don't we all have 600 00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:14.480 a Pina Colada and just have a conversation. 601 00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:20.079 Fucking chill everyone. Yeah. Yeah, So Baron Jared, the military man, 602 00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:23.119 the general defends his men, saying they'll impose stricter psych 603 00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:26.119 exams prior to putting them in that situation in the future. 604 00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:29.480 You know that line from Big Business, Get tougher rats. Yeah, 605 00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:35.039 He's like, well, just get tougher soldiers. McKittrick, who is 606 00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:38.279 a scientist First, he's not a military man. He is 607 00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:42.400 a computer scientist. Scoffed that that head shrink or horseshit 608 00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:43.240 doesn't work. 609 00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:44.680 Yeah, it's great. 610 00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:48.000 He proposes that they take humans out of the decision 611 00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:51.440 making process altogether and make the responses automated to a 612 00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:54.680 computer program, so that once the president makes the decision 613 00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:56.480 as to whether or not to launch the nukes, we 614 00:28:56.559 --> 00:29:00.720 know it's going to happen for sure. Okay, already fascinating. 615 00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:04.119 I'm in I'm so into this this conversation that, like, 616 00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:06.559 I kind of know where this is going because it's 617 00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:09.799 a movie, you know, like, well, we're probably not going 618 00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:13.079 to end in war. I like, but ps spoiler for 619 00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:17.200 Doctor Strangelove that does endure war. I figured that was 620 00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:20.039 this movie wasn't going to go quite that far, all right. 621 00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:24.680 So in order to accomplish this, McKittrick introduces WHOPPER, which 622 00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:28.680 is the War Operation Plan Response, which is a supercomputer 623 00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:33.079 that continually runs simulations on nuclear war. So he's like, look, 624 00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:37.240 this computer is constantly going through every different possibility, so 625 00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:39.680 it always knows what the proper thing to do is 626 00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:44.279 in any situation. Behringer tries to fight back. It's weird. 627 00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:46.200 That they don't bring up the Cuban missile crisis because 628 00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:48.519 I'm like, that happened already. Be like, the Cuban missile 629 00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:52.160 crisis would have gone off if not for humans questioning 630 00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:56.119 orders or like waiting for like the exact right thing before. 631 00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:59.440 But that is interesting, You're right. Maybe they were like, 632 00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:02.039 that's actually too logical for this movie. Once you heard 633 00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:03.079 that argument, you'd be. 634 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:11.000 Like, yeah, yeah, So the decision is made to recommend 635 00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:13.759 the President put Whopper in charge. Okay, I have to 636 00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:16.119 take one moment to talk about my favorite performance in 637 00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:20.200 the movie. There is a man. The character is called 638 00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:23.960 mister Richter. He's played by a man named Irving Metzman. 639 00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:28.359 He is like the Whoppers an custodian. 640 00:30:28.920 --> 00:30:30.759 Yeah yeah, yeah, the nerd, the nerd. 641 00:30:31.400 --> 00:30:33.720 He I do not mean this as an insult. I 642 00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:36.119 do not believe this man is acting at all. I 643 00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:40.559 believe he is actually just an anxious, tiny bit fay 644 00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:46.640 New York overweight jew in this movie. And like Bereinger 645 00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:49.319 is so masculine and tough, and Dabney Coleman is being 646 00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:51.880 Dabney Coleman. But and he is just this guy who's like, 647 00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:52.960 I like computers. 648 00:30:54.759 --> 00:30:58.240 It's a terrific performance. He's a character actor. I've seen 649 00:30:58.319 --> 00:31:00.720 him in a bunch of stuff and he basically always plays. 650 00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:02.039 This guy and he's perfect. 651 00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:07.640 Yeah, like this like beta male. It's very good. So 652 00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:10.759 we cut to an arcade in Seattle where David Leichman, 653 00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:15.839 played by and unbelievably young and charming Matthew Broderick, helps 654 00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:19.160 to young Matthew Broderick is a teenage boy. He's so 655 00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:22.279 well cast because A he's a really really good actor, 656 00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:25.839 like even from the early days, he's a very good actor. B. 657 00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:28.799 He's handsome enough to be a leading man in a movie, 658 00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:32.599 but also kind of awkward enough that I believe him 659 00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:33.519 as a computer nerd. 660 00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:36.240 The only problem with Matthew Brodrick's casting is that I 661 00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:38.559 don't believe him as like a bad boy who like 662 00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:42.000 shrugs off school. That's the thing where I'm like, I 663 00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:46.480 don't quite buy that part of it. But Ferris Bueller, Yeah, 664 00:31:46.519 --> 00:31:49.319 but that's like Ferris Bueller is like there's a there's 665 00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:51.839 an impishness. This is not meant to be ambitious is 666 00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:54.359 kind of I feel like this movie like he's playing 667 00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:56.039 at impish, but this movie wants to be Like he 668 00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:57.359 gets in trouble all the time. He goes to the 669 00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:59.720 principal's office. This is a kid that gets detention. 670 00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:02.880 You figured out though, why he's getting in trouble all 671 00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:04.119 the time. He's doing it on purpose. 672 00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:05.720 Yeah, yeah, so he can so he can. 673 00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:08.559 Find the code. So like once the movie told me that, 674 00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:12.279 I was like, oh, okay, he's not a troublemaker. He's 675 00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:14.200 doing it so that he can sneak in and get 676 00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:17.440 the codes that he needs, Like he's a genius. It's 677 00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:20.200 I really like this before you're right though, Like there 678 00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:23.400 is something about him that like screams I brush my 679 00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:24.359 teeth every night and. 680 00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:27.960 Follow Yeah that's what I mean. Like, like he's also 681 00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:30.519 a degenerate in some like he is an a moral 682 00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:33.839 delinquent also in this movie, I don't know that, and 683 00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:35.960 he gets morals later, but like in the beginning, he 684 00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:37.680 has no concept of right and wrong. 685 00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:44.640 The whole movie is underwritten. I think we should actually 686 00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:49.799 just say that, right, Yeah, every single character is is underwritten. 687 00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:52.079 Yeah, I think the only person who creates that character 688 00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:53.759 is John Wood. At the end, he is able to 689 00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:57.319 even even though that character is also somewhat underwritten, he 690 00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:00.519 is able, Like you get him completely you know exactly 691 00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:01.359 who that person is. 692 00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:03.559 Yeah, just just from a look. But that's an act. 693 00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:06.680 That's like a superlative actor doing doing that job. Like 694 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:09.920 so I I yeah, okay, we'll keep going. But yeah, 695 00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:15.359 this is the movie is about to get real stupid, y'all. Yeah, okay. 696 00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:18.319 So he's in the arcade, he's playing games. He's playing 697 00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:22.599 Space Invaders. Before school, he notices his classmates are leaving. 698 00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:24.319 Wait did you think it was Space Invaders? 699 00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:26.200 I thought it was Space Invader? Which one was he playing? 700 00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:27.759 I thought it was Asteroids? 701 00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:30.640 Oh it might have been Asteroids, or. 702 00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:32.480 It might have been neither one of those. I feel 703 00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:33.920 like a lot of those games look the same. 704 00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:39.680 Well, yeah, it's all like bleep, blooplepleep. It could have 705 00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:42.319 been Frogger. I don't know. Yeah, there is someone out 706 00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:46.480 there who loves this movie now deep to their core, 707 00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:49.839 who is calling us cunts through their phone screen. 708 00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:55.160 I also initially wrote Asteroids as a S. S T 709 00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:57.200 E R O. I yes, And I was like, there's 710 00:33:57.240 --> 00:33:59.400 a whole riff in that. 711 00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:07.920 That is a I would play as put on that thing. 712 00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:12.679 We could change to snatch snatchinators, we could do we 713 00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:17.159 can do a whole a whole like pornographic arcade just 714 00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:17.800 for adults. 715 00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:20.199 He can invade my space, you know what I mean. 716 00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:26.760 He can pack my man, you know what I mean. Yeah, 717 00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:29.239 this is not a terrible idea.

Okay, back 752 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:10.360 to the movie. Back to the movie. So, Okay, David 753 00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:13.599 goes to school. He goes to the science biology class. 754 00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:16.559 Teacher is not helping himself. Okay, the teacher is trying 755 00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:19.840 to talk about asexual reproduction. He's trying to teach them. 756 00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:22.960 I get it, it's something we need to learn. But man, 757 00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:25.360 you know what you're saying is funny. You know what 758 00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:28.960 you're saying is funny. Stop pretending it's not. So. David 759 00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:32.679 tries to David gets there late after a hilariously bad 760 00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:35.719 attempt at sneaking in and unseen. 761 00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:38.239 Just blatantly and frall while the teacher's like, not even 762 00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:39.760 at the board, he's just like looking at the class, 763 00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:41.880 just walks in and like acts like he's sneaking. I'm like, 764 00:36:41.920 --> 00:36:42.639 he can see you. 765 00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:47.480 He's doing like an old timey like black and white 766 00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:50.079 movie villain where he's like sneaking into the. 767 00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:53.760 Roomy versus spy. 768 00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:57.440 The teacher hates David very clearly. David is a disruption 769 00:36:57.480 --> 00:36:59.920 in class. He doesn't like him. He gleefully hands it 770 00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:02.360 is test back with a big giant F on it, 771 00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:05.800 circled and read. Is this innovation of privacy or we 772 00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:07.880 allowed to just tell everyone each other's grades? 773 00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:11.239 I feel like in the eighties when we would get 774 00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:13.079 papers back, they'd be like, you got an A like 775 00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:14.000 they would say, I. 776 00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:17.519 Honestly think, like I remember a couple of times a 777 00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:19.760 teacher being like, I'm going to give out the top 778 00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:22.920 grade first, and like I would get the top grade ye, 779 00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:24.679 and I would have to go up to the front 780 00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:26.639 of the class and collect my paper with the top 781 00:37:26.639 --> 00:37:29.719 grade on it. And it was humiliating, Like I know 782 00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:32.719 it's a good thing to get the top grade, and like, logically, 783 00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:35.559 I'm proud of myself, but like everyone's looking at me 784 00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:38.719 now and it sucks and I'm embarrassed and like, stop, 785 00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:42.280 you're not rewarding good behavior doing this, Like, just let 786 00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:45.599 me get an A plus in silence, please. I don't 787 00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:47.079 know why that. And it's not like I was a 788 00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:49.039 great I mean I was a pretty good student, but 789 00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:51.119 I wasn't great at everything. So like that was not 790 00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:51.760 a math class. 791 00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:53.639 I can tell you don't remember your summer school story. 792 00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:55.480 Yeah, I definitely had to go to summer school at 793 00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:58.199 some point. I think that honestly scarred me a little 794 00:37:58.199 --> 00:38:00.920 bit from wanting to try too hard. Oh okay, So 795 00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:02.519 he gets his test back with the F on it. 796 00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:05.559 Seated directly in front of him is Jennifer Mack, played 797 00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:09.599 by the luminous Ali Sheety. She giggles openly with her 798 00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:12.079 friend while class is going on. She's talking over the 799 00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:15.960 teacher's lesson. Before long, the teacher' is like, oh, you 800 00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:18.880 think you're so funny? How about this big fucking F. 801 00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:21.679 F is for funny, I guess, And he answer her 802 00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:23.960 paperback and she also got an F. So This teacher 803 00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:26.039 kind of sucks on a lot of levels. 804 00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:29.480 Yeah, what is the protocol for handing back papers? 805 00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:31.719 Bully the worst kids? 806 00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:35.639 Yes, but you think that, like I presumed when he 807 00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:38.079 snuck in that the rest of the class had received 808 00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:39.840 their papers and he had it because he was late. 809 00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:44.159 Oh but then Ali Sheedy has also not received her papers. 810 00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:47.239 She wasn't late. So did he hand out like? Is 811 00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:49.360 he just meeting out the p Yes? 812 00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:51.400 You know what it is is he's a petty bitch. 813 00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:54.239 He's giving them out at the end of class. But 814 00:38:54.280 --> 00:38:57.559 he has the f's on standby in case those students 815 00:38:57.800 --> 00:39:00.239 do something to humiliate him, so he can humiliate ate 816 00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:02.920 them back. Yeah, it's psychological warfare. 817 00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:07.199 Is def con one at all times. All right, So 818 00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:10.239 class continues, the teacher has to bring up, like Erica 819 00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:13.800 comment non, the concept of asexual reproduction. He wonders aloud, 820 00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:16.719 who knows where the idea first came up? I don't. 821 00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:19.119 I'm guessing Egypt for Greece. I feel like it's always 822 00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:21.280 Egypt for grease when these questions ask are asked. 823 00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:23.400 It's got to be grease, right, It's got to be 824 00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:25.719 some scientist looking at a flower going now, how did 825 00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:26.480 this get reproduced? 826 00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:28.519 Right? That's got to be what happens, something about athena 827 00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:33.000 jumping from Zeus's head, parthenogenesis, all that, all right? So 828 00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:36.840 David under his breath is like his wife, maybe his 829 00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:39.000 wife came up with a sexual reproduction, right, and all 830 00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:39.840 the kids around. 831 00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:42.199 Him laugh sick burn David Jennifer. 832 00:39:41.880 --> 00:39:45.559 Laughs loudly, which draws the teachers attention. He's like, what's 833 00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:48.719 so funny? And David, because as Erica pointed out, he 834 00:39:48.760 --> 00:39:51.159 wants to get sent to the principal's office, just repeats 835 00:39:51.159 --> 00:39:54.320 his joke full out. You can see this actor playing 836 00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:55.920 the teacher is a good job because when he says that, 837 00:39:55.960 --> 00:39:58.760 you can see he has nothing to say back. He 838 00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:01.199 has been castraighted and his balls have been hung up 839 00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:04.440 on thet kid. He can't he has to retire. He 840 00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:06.360 needs a new job now, Like he can never come 841 00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:07.800 back to this class. 842 00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:10.400 Nor should he. Frankly, yeah, you can't burn back a 843 00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:13.360 kid who's burned you. You shouldn't be a high school teacher. Yeah, 844 00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:14.960 that job is not for the week. 845 00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:17.480 All right. So he sends David to the principal's office. 846 00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:20.880 While David is waiting for the principal. He's sitting outside 847 00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:23.679 the office. He leans over to this desk where a 848 00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:25.639 computer sits, and he slides out one of those things 849 00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:27.480 that used to slide out from desk. It's like an 850 00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:28.679 additional writing surface. 851 00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:29.639 Oh I love those. 852 00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:32.480 Yeah. And when we get to the card catalog moment, 853 00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:34.719 we're gonna have eight minutes. I'm gonna have eight minutes 854 00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:37.400 on a card catalog. Everyone get ready, hah. He pulls 855 00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:39.960 this out and he sees like passwords written on it, 856 00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:42.360 and he in the next password his pencil. It's clear 857 00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:45.280 he's done this before. It's clear that this is part 858 00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:46.000 of a routine. 859 00:40:46.679 --> 00:40:50.800 We cut to after school. David is walking home. Jennifer 860 00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:52.800 putters up to him on her motorbike and she's she 861 00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:55.400 apologizes for getting him into trouble, right, She's like, sorry guy. 862 00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:57.800 He's into the principal's office. He's like, oh, no, big deal. 863 00:40:57.960 --> 00:40:59.639 Does it not look like ali sheet? He's gonna fall 864 00:40:59.639 --> 00:41:01.159 off this mo her bike In the scene when she's 865 00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:02.440 trying to like slowly move it. 866 00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:05.800 She was not given time to prep No, she was 867 00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:08.679 not given time to practice. The motorbikes they gave her 868 00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:10.960 that morning and they were like, do it and she's like. 869 00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:14.239 Okay, okay, it's fine once she's actually going, but when 870 00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:16.599 she's trying to like do this like go slow and 871 00:41:16.639 --> 00:41:19.360 talk to David thing, it's it's worrying. It is touch 872 00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:19.719 and go. 873 00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:26.599 Also, this is the best take. There are forty. 874 00:41:26.199 --> 00:41:34.960 Wiping out that bike blooper reel blooperoo. 875 00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:37.440 Come on, you cowards, give us the blooper reel. I 876 00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:39.840 need to see it. There is at least one tick 877 00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:43.679 of Ali sheet he's just hitting Matthew brought up absolutely right. 878 00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:46.440 There's a couple sext of her hitting the camera like 879 00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:48.000 going too fast. 880 00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:52.840 So she offers David a ride home. He takes her 881 00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:54.599 up on it. They're so cute. There's a lot of 882 00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:57.519 chemistry here. He clearly has a big giant crush on her, 883 00:41:57.559 --> 00:42:01.760 because who wouldn't, because she's adorable. She laments that they 884 00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:03.960 both have to take biology again in summer school because 885 00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:07.440 they're both clearly failing, but David's like, no, I don't 886 00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:08.719 think either one of us is going to have to 887 00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:11.519 go to summer school. And when they get to his house, 888 00:42:11.559 --> 00:42:13.519 he invites her in and they head up to his room. 889 00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:16.079 To be clear, Ali, sheety can take Matthew Broadwick in 890 00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:18.679 a fight easy. We are not supposed to. We do 891 00:42:18.760 --> 00:42:21.039 not have to feel concerned about Ali Sheety's safety with 892 00:42:21.199 --> 00:42:24.000 around David at all at all. So they go to 893 00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:27.119 David's room, which is tricked out with like a ludicrously 894 00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:30.239 extensive computer system. Where does David get the money for 895 00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:32.440 all of this? Where does David get the time? Where 896 00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:35.360 does David get the energy? Where does David get the expertise? 897 00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:39.280 And it's very hackers, but hackers, like they did do 898 00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:41.760 a little of the homework to explain how these kids 899 00:42:41.800 --> 00:42:43.760 are able to do what they're able to do this, 900 00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:45.679 And you know, I have to say I kind of 901 00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:49.199 like this version better where they don't explain it at all. 902 00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:53.719 David is just a like next level computer hacker. But 903 00:42:53.880 --> 00:42:56.159 like the amount of money that that system must have 904 00:42:56.239 --> 00:42:58.920 cost in nineteen eighty two when they made this movie. 905 00:42:58.639 --> 00:43:01.119 Well, that's my question. I'm like, so this kid is 906 00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:04.079 both of his parents' work, which says kind of middle class. Yeah, 907 00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:06.239 but he has an on suite bathroom in his room, 908 00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:10.079 and then can this thousands of dollars in nineteen eighties 909 00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:15.880 money this computer system? He has multiple like stereos and computers, 910 00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:19.760 he has his own private landline that goes to this computer, Like, like, 911 00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:23.079 what is the financial situation here? Is he just stealing 912 00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:24.559 all of this and his parents are too dumb to 913 00:43:24.599 --> 00:43:26.719 notice it, which I actually could see as kind of 914 00:43:26.719 --> 00:43:28.679 being the Explanation's. 915 00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:29.760 That's honestly the best explanation. 916 00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:30.599 Yeah. 917 00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:32.920 So he shows her how he can hack into the 918 00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:36.440 school's computer and change their grades. He goes into his 919 00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:38.719 grades first and he changes the F to a C 920 00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:43.079 in biology, and then he changes her biograde as well. 921 00:43:43.199 --> 00:43:45.119 She's like, no, no, no, no, no, don't do that. 922 00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:46.719 Don't do it. And he's like, what it's not it's 923 00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:48.239 I do it all the time, don't worry, and she 924 00:43:48.599 --> 00:43:50.960 forces him to change it back. He changes it back. 925 00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:53.119 He's like, I'm really sorry. She goes okay, no worries, 926 00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:55.800 and then she leaves. She's a little weirded out, and 927 00:43:55.920 --> 00:44:01.599 after she's gone without her consent, he goes in anyway 928 00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:04.280 and changes her grade from an F to an A 929 00:44:04.760 --> 00:44:06.000 in biology, which. 930 00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:09.360 Is a like, bro, the smart thing to do is 931 00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:10.760 what you did first. It's change it to a C. 932 00:44:11.159 --> 00:44:13.199 He at one point he's like, no one's gonna find out, 933 00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:14.920 and I'm like, well, the teacher's gonna know you didn't 934 00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:17.599 get an A, Like if he gave you an F, 935 00:44:17.800 --> 00:44:21.199 the teacher'll be like, that's not right, he got an F. 936 00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:24.599 Yeah, Like it's way too obvious. But but that's not 937 00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:26.480 the point. The point is he does it without her consent, 938 00:44:26.679 --> 00:44:27.239 and I'm like. 939 00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:30.599 Dude, no, And at this moment in the movie, like 940 00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:33.440 Ali Shety plays this very seriously, like I thought we 941 00:44:33.440 --> 00:44:37.280 were headed for was like Ali Sheety's superpower to balance out, 942 00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:39.159 like David superower with the computers, that she was going 943 00:44:39.199 --> 00:44:42.280 to be the moral compass of this like dynamic duo, 944 00:44:42.360 --> 00:44:44.239 Like no, you can't do that. That, by the way, 945 00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:47.400 is not where the film is heading. Ali Shety is 946 00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:50.800 going to become wildly less interesting. In the her next scene, she. 947 00:44:51.159 --> 00:44:58.840 Is I'm gonna jump ahead here clinically stupid, medically stupid. 948 00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:03.519 She's good. This is the only good decision she makes 949 00:45:03.559 --> 00:45:06.760 the entire film. And it is a fleeting moment and 950 00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:09.719 it is gone. Once it is gone, it is gone forever. 951 00:45:10.280 --> 00:45:15.039 And they changed the characters completely, like you're absolutely right. 952 00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:16.599 I don't even know why they put the scene in. 953 00:45:16.599 --> 00:45:18.639 Why did they bother to put the scene in? Because 954 00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:23.679 I guess to show that what David's doing matters. Yeah, Like, 955 00:45:23.760 --> 00:45:25.920 no one else is reacting to David. It's the only 956 00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:29.280 time where you see anyone reacting to his like hackerism 957 00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:32.519 and so like it's it's the only time we get 958 00:45:32.519 --> 00:45:34.760 someone being like no, no, no, this is wrong and 959 00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:38.440 there could be consequences. Yeah, I guess that's why it's there. 960 00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:41.880 But her character just goes one eighty after this. 961 00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:44.519 All right, So we briefly cut back to Norad and 962 00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:47.639 we see the Whopper. That's the supercomputer being connected to 963 00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:51.199 the nuclear command center where Lawson and Phelps were stationed 964 00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:52.960 in the first scene of the film. So the Whopper 965 00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:55.280 is now control of the no urination box. At least 966 00:45:55.320 --> 00:45:57.000 you know, the Whopper is going to urinate in there. 967 00:45:57.320 --> 00:45:58.760 Yeah, they could take that signed down. 968 00:45:58.719 --> 00:45:59.920 Maybe get signed down. 969 00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:01.360 Maybe post has a return policy. 970 00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:04.960 Yep. So we cut back to Seattle to David's house 971 00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:07.920 that night. At dinner, his parents stand around, and when 972 00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:10.199 I tell you, the parents and both the actors do 973 00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:14.360 a good job, are like the most dumb, white bread 974 00:46:14.480 --> 00:46:17.519 suburban parents you could possibly imagine. There is a scene 975 00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:22.519 there at dinner the father is putting an absolutely unholy 976 00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:24.719 amount of I can't believe it's not butter on like 977 00:46:24.719 --> 00:46:29.920 a piece of wonderbread, like untoasted wonderbread. This piece of 978 00:46:29.960 --> 00:46:31.880 bread in one hand. He picks up his corn on 979 00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:34.320 the cob, which is being held with those little corn 980 00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:36.000 on the cob holders that we all had in the eighties, 981 00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:37.679 those little like mini corns you stuck in. 982 00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:39.320 We still have those in my house. 983 00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:39.760 We eat. 984 00:46:40.119 --> 00:46:41.920 We had corn on the cob the other night with those. 985 00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:46.159 He takes the corn on the cob, he splats it 986 00:46:46.199 --> 00:46:49.079 onto the bread. He like tacos the bread around the 987 00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:52.880 corn to like swirl the corn around to get all 988 00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:54.840 of that. I can't believe it's not butter off the 989 00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:57.880 bread onto the corn. Throws the piece of bread onto 990 00:46:57.880 --> 00:46:58.400 the table. 991 00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:00.760 That confused me. I was like, is that bread just 992 00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:01.480 waste now? 993 00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:03.480 Or this is this is waste on all? This is 994 00:47:03.519 --> 00:47:06.440 the eighties levels of waste peppers, the corn salts, the 995 00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:08.960 corn bites it and then finds out the corn is raw. 996 00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:11.239 Like what is happening at this dinner? 997 00:47:11.400 --> 00:47:14.280 I've seen the bread someone else showed it to me once. 998 00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:16.719 It's like a trick quote unquote trick to butter. 999 00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:20.199 And I was like, okay, you could just take a 1000 00:47:20.239 --> 00:47:21.719 knife and do it like everyone else does. 1001 00:47:21.800 --> 00:47:23.679 But also the amount of butter. 1002 00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:26.760 This man, it's so much butter. It looks like mayonnaise. 1003 00:47:26.840 --> 00:47:29.679 It's half a tub of I can't believe it's not butter. 1004 00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:32.119 That is not going to be a happy bathroom later. 1005 00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:35.559 Like the stuff that is in that, you can't have 1006 00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:41.480 too much of it, remember anal leakage from the Olestra, Like, I. 1007 00:47:40.119 --> 00:47:42.239 Isn't I think it's still a product, so I don't 1008 00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:44.039 want to. I don't wanna. I don't want to get 1009 00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:46.800 in trouble. But isn't like margarine supposed to be like 1010 00:47:47.239 --> 00:47:52.079 partially plastic, like probably the same shit plastic is made 1011 00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:55.880 out of. Like just eat the goddamn butter people. And also, yeah, 1012 00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:57.920 raw corn, that's not a thing. You can't just eat 1013 00:47:57.960 --> 00:47:58.440 raw corn. 1014 00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:02.559 Yeah, now you can't eat raw corn. It's quite toothsome 1015 00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:03.800 but you can eat it big. 1016 00:48:04.159 --> 00:48:04.559 Yeah. 1017 00:48:05.519 --> 00:48:07.000 I made it and you kind of cook it in 1018 00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:08.840 like acid and stuff, so it was like civich it. 1019 00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:10.519 So it softens it up a little bit. And it's 1020 00:48:10.679 --> 00:48:11.039 very good. 1021 00:48:11.199 --> 00:48:13.480 This movie is positing, Paul, that's true that you correct 1022 00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:17.920 a chase situation. This is a bitch put raw corn 1023 00:48:18.000 --> 00:48:21.079 on the table and served it to her family. 1024 00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:24.559 Cooked corn is already coming out whole. Can you imagine 1025 00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:28.199 what raw corn covered in? I can't believe it's not 1026 00:48:28.280 --> 00:48:30.719 butter is coming out. That is just a fire hose 1027 00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:31.400 out your ass. 1028 00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:34.280 It won't get to my ass because my teeth will die. 1029 00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:38.440 And once once I try to chew on that it's done. 1030 00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:43.159 I'm like, well, now I'm having a dental emergency over all. 1031 00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:46.760 Right, okay, okay, So back to the movie. David sees 1032 00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:49.760 an ad for Proto Vision, which is an upcoming gaming 1033 00:48:49.800 --> 00:48:52.920 system coming out in a few months. He immediately heads 1034 00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:55.159 for his room to set about hacking into the system 1035 00:48:55.199 --> 00:48:57.320 so he can grant himself early access. He's like, new 1036 00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:01.199 games I want to play. He gets their location from 1037 00:49:01.239 --> 00:49:04.599 the ad in Sunnyvale, California, and he sets his computer 1038 00:49:04.639 --> 00:49:07.760 about calling all the different numbers in sunny Vale and 1039 00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:10.360 hopes of eventually connecting to the pro Division computer because 1040 00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:12.840 at that time, I guess computers would actually pick up 1041 00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:16.280 the phone and they emit a certain tone, and then 1042 00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:19.000 David's computer knows that he's connected to a computer and 1043 00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:22.039 not like just a landline of some business or some house. 1044 00:49:22.360 --> 00:49:25.400 So The next day, we're back at the arcade. Jennifer 1045 00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:29.880 approaches David and after her briefcase of morals, she's shrugged 1046 00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:30.280 that off. 1047 00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:32.840 Yeah, thank god, she's reconsidered. 1048 00:49:32.280 --> 00:49:34.079 And she's like, you know what, actually, would you change 1049 00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:35.960 my grade in biology? I sure would hate to go 1050 00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:38.880 to summer school? And what's Ventura? Had? 1051 00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:43.840 Detective? No, wasn't it ace Ventura? When nature calls? 1052 00:49:43.920 --> 00:49:45.760 It's when nature calls when nature. 1053 00:49:46.440 --> 00:49:49.000 Don't rewrite that. If anyone wants to know what we're 1054 00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:51.239 talking about, go listen to our episode on summer school. 1055 00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:54.000 Erica went to summer school where some guy showed her 1056 00:49:54.280 --> 00:49:58.760 his favorite movie, which was ace Ventura When Nature calls. 1057 00:49:59.320 --> 00:50:02.280 Don't say it's that's some guy, Paul. It's the teacher 1058 00:50:03.159 --> 00:50:06.599 man who taught me geometry or whatever. I was there 1059 00:50:06.639 --> 00:50:07.400 for algebra. 1060 00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:10.360 One of my favorite stories you've ever told in the 1061 00:50:10.480 --> 00:50:13.599 entirety of this podcast, genuinely top notch. 1062 00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:15.840 So David kind of hems and haws a little bit, 1063 00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:19.880 and eventually he confesses to her that he actually already 1064 00:50:19.880 --> 00:50:23.400 did change her grade back, and she takes it very well. 1065 00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:26.000 I was so mad. She was like, oh, good, thank you. 1066 00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:28.960 What did I get? She's like hey, and she's like, excellent, 1067 00:50:29.119 --> 00:50:32.239 love that I've changed personalities completely in the last twenty 1068 00:50:32.239 --> 00:50:32.840 four hours. 1069 00:50:33.159 --> 00:50:35.440 There's this They go back to his house and she 1070 00:50:35.480 --> 00:50:37.800 sees like the setup and she's like, well, isn't calling 1071 00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:40.599 all these numbers expensive? And my three Broderick goes there 1072 00:50:40.599 --> 00:50:42.119 are ways around that, and she goes, you can go 1073 00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:43.719 to jail for that, and he just smiles. He's like, 1074 00:50:43.800 --> 00:50:48.039 only if you're eighteen. This he is a degenerate, has 1075 00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:49.039 no morals. 1076 00:50:49.239 --> 00:50:50.480 He is a sociopath. 1077 00:50:51.480 --> 00:50:54.079 Actually, he also doesn't wash his hands after peeing in 1078 00:50:54.079 --> 00:50:55.920 the bathroom. That's another thing that I noticed. 1079 00:50:56.119 --> 00:50:58.440 There's a couple of gross teenage boy things that happened 1080 00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:01.079 in this. Wee also feel very true tolized. I'm gonna 1081 00:51:01.079 --> 00:51:03.199 cut to later later, way later in the movie. Not 1082 00:51:03.239 --> 00:51:05.360 way later, but later in the movie. She comes over. 1083 00:51:05.519 --> 00:51:07.719 She's been jogging, so she's sweaty, and she goes into 1084 00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:10.800 his en sweet bathroom and she just grabs a random 1085 00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:13.239 cup or glass in there and fills it with water 1086 00:51:13.320 --> 00:51:18.960 and drinks it. PSA for this episode. Don't drink out 1087 00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:22.679 of an unattended glass left alone with a teenage boy. 1088 00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:25.679 I'm not saying he did anything gross in there. But 1089 00:51:25.719 --> 00:51:28.239 he one hundred percent did something gross in there. How 1090 00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:30.039 you think it is. It's just gonna be him like 1091 00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:32.480 spitting his toothpaste out into it whatever and not ring 1092 00:51:32.599 --> 00:51:35.280 the cup. The minute she drank from that cup, I 1093 00:51:35.320 --> 00:51:36.400 was like, nope. 1094 00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:36.760 Well she's dead. 1095 00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:39.280 Now she's dead. I honestly don't know what else happened 1096 00:51:39.320 --> 00:51:42.280 in that scene. I'm gonna learn in real time as 1097 00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:43.360 we're reading this recap. 1098 00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:45.639 All right, So they're back in David's room now, she's 1099 00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:47.480 looking at the computer. He explains that he's trying to 1100 00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:51.880 pirate video games like that, this is his stated purpose here, right. Uh. 1101 00:51:51.920 --> 00:51:54.599 He shows her the different computers program is connected with, 1102 00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:58.840 including a bank and the pan Am reservation system. On 1103 00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:02.320 a lark, he makes reservation for them from Chicago to Paris. 1104 00:52:02.559 --> 00:52:05.559 Why are they going from Chicago when they're living in Seattle? 1105 00:52:05.719 --> 00:52:06.760 What's going on? So? 1106 00:52:06.920 --> 00:52:09.400 Okay, So the movie sets it up with a shot 1107 00:52:09.400 --> 00:52:11.599 of the Seattle space needle. Right, So I was like, Okay, 1108 00:52:11.639 --> 00:52:13.480 we're in Seattle, like way back in the first in 1109 00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:15.679 the first scene when we come to Seattle, we're in Seattle. Great. 1110 00:52:16.039 --> 00:52:19.280 Then he buys them tickets from Chicago to Paris, and 1111 00:52:19.320 --> 00:52:22.480 I'm like, are they not in Seattle? And then something 1112 00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:24.519 else is about to happen that makes me again believe 1113 00:52:24.519 --> 00:52:27.199 they're not in Seattle, But they are in Seattle. 1114 00:52:27.559 --> 00:52:30.159 Yes, canonically they are definitely in Seattle. 1115 00:52:30.280 --> 00:52:31.920 Can I take a brief moment with you here to 1116 00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:35.159 try to understand a joke? Because I don't, I genuinely 1117 00:52:35.159 --> 00:52:38.199 don't get it. She says, do we really have tickets 1118 00:52:38.239 --> 00:52:42.480 for Paris? And he says, no, we have a reservation though, oh. 1119 00:52:42.440 --> 00:52:44.760 Yeah, he didn't pay for them yet. This is Oh, 1120 00:52:44.840 --> 00:52:47.880 you don't remember the old days, Paul. No. Yeah, you 1121 00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:50.880 could just make reservations for and then pay for it 1122 00:52:50.960 --> 00:52:53.480 later because there was no system to pay for it. 1123 00:52:53.920 --> 00:52:55.840 Like guess you go and pay when you get there. 1124 00:52:56.280 --> 00:52:58.559 Yeah. I think you could make a reservation for a flight, 1125 00:52:58.599 --> 00:53:00.239 you had a certain amount of time to go pay 1126 00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:01.960 for it, And I don't think you had to pay 1127 00:53:01.960 --> 00:53:03.159 for it at the airport. I think you had to 1128 00:53:03.199 --> 00:53:05.239 go to like a travel agency or something like that, 1129 00:53:05.360 --> 00:53:08.440 or like an office for pan Am somewhere and pay 1130 00:53:08.480 --> 00:53:11.039 for the ticket. Is that bonkers that that used to 1131 00:53:11.079 --> 00:53:12.519 be the way things were done, But. 1132 00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:14.639 It makes sense. That makes because I was literally like, 1133 00:53:14.719 --> 00:53:16.159 is he trying to make a joke about Like, no, 1134 00:53:16.199 --> 00:53:17.880 we don't have the tickets, we have the reservations, we 1135 00:53:17.880 --> 00:53:20.840 don't physically have the tickets, but like Matthew Broderick doesn't 1136 00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:22.519 say it as a joke. So I was literally like, 1137 00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:24.280 I don't understand. I don't understand the. 1138 00:53:24.239 --> 00:53:26.440 Said like he didn't he didn't pay for the tickets. 1139 00:53:26.519 --> 00:53:28.840 Yeah, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. I'm like, are you planning on 1140 00:53:28.880 --> 00:53:31.079 paying for them? Aren't you stealing it? Whatever, it doesn't matter. 1141 00:53:31.320 --> 00:53:35.400 So uh. They find a system that won't allow them 1142 00:53:35.440 --> 00:53:39.079 to log on. So David tries to get help by 1143 00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:43.519 typing in help games, and the computer responds with games 1144 00:53:43.599 --> 00:53:46.760 refers to models, simulations, and games which have tactical and 1145 00:53:46.800 --> 00:53:51.519 strategic applications. This convinces David that he's found pro division. Aha. 1146 00:53:51.599 --> 00:53:54.639 He tells the computer to list games, and the following 1147 00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:57.880 list appeers Erica, let me know when you start to 1148 00:53:57.880 --> 00:54:08.840 trip up a Falcons, Maze, Blackjack, Gin, Rummy Hearts, Bridge Checkers, Chess, Poker, 1149 00:54:09.760 --> 00:54:11.599 Fighter Combat, I'm still in. 1150 00:54:11.760 --> 00:54:15.920 I'm still in Paul Street Street Fighter Yeah sure, uh. 1151 00:54:15.840 --> 00:54:18.800 Huh, Gorilla Engagement, Okay. 1152 00:54:18.639 --> 00:54:21.679 Mortal Combat. I'm still in yeah, there could be a 1153 00:54:21.719 --> 00:54:22.320 game called that. 1154 00:54:22.440 --> 00:54:24.440 Sure, desert warfare. 1155 00:54:24.639 --> 00:54:26.119 There literally is a game called that. 1156 00:54:26.239 --> 00:54:27.760 Yeah, that's that's I'm good, I'm good. 1157 00:54:27.880 --> 00:54:29.119 I'm still in I'm still in. 1158 00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:31.280 Air to ground actions. 1159 00:54:31.679 --> 00:54:34.519 Okay, less and less convinced. That's a game. 1160 00:54:34.960 --> 00:54:37.119 Theater wide tactical warfare. 1161 00:54:37.440 --> 00:54:40.480 Okay, also not really a fun game name. 1162 00:54:40.599 --> 00:54:42.239 Is that like a fancy way of saying risk? I'm 1163 00:54:42.280 --> 00:54:46.320 not sure. Yeah, theater wide biotoxic and chemical warfare. 1164 00:54:46.519 --> 00:54:49.880 Okay, that sounds like a bummer. That sounds a huge 1165 00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:50.679 bummer to play. 1166 00:54:50.840 --> 00:54:55.199 Yeah, and of course global thermonuclear war. 1167 00:54:56.280 --> 00:55:00.800 Once you saw theater wide biotoxic and chemist the warfare, 1168 00:55:00.880 --> 00:55:03.400 you should be like, well, that's a terrible name for 1169 00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:03.800 a game. 1170 00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:05.840 What the fuck are they doing at Proto Vision? 1171 00:55:06.000 --> 00:55:08.360 That should have given you pause to be like, is 1172 00:55:08.360 --> 00:55:10.639 that a first draft of a computer game? What the 1173 00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:14.440 fuck is happening here? So David and Jennifer head for 1174 00:55:14.559 --> 00:55:17.320 I don't know, a computer programming firm I don't know. 1175 00:55:18.039 --> 00:55:21.079 They go talk to adult nerds that David. They get 1176 00:55:21.079 --> 00:55:23.079 there and David tells Jennifer to hang back so that 1177 00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:25.199 she doesn't make them nervous, and she's like what, and 1178 00:55:25.239 --> 00:55:29.679 he's like you'll see. And he goes up to one 1179 00:55:29.719 --> 00:55:31.800 of them and it's okay, it's these two guys, one 1180 00:55:31.840 --> 00:55:33.320 of whom is Eugene from Greece. 1181 00:55:33.440 --> 00:55:33.679 Yep. 1182 00:55:34.039 --> 00:55:35.679 This is where I learned that the actor who played 1183 00:55:35.719 --> 00:55:38.679 Eugene and Greece is perhaps not the most nuanced performer 1184 00:55:38.719 --> 00:55:41.360 of a generation, because it is the exact same performance. 1185 00:55:41.519 --> 00:55:43.840 This is what he does in case you were wondering. 1186 00:55:44.239 --> 00:55:47.119 Because Eugene wasn't a geeky enough geeky enough name, they've 1187 00:55:47.159 --> 00:55:51.039 named him Malvin, not Melvin Malvin. 1188 00:55:53.199 --> 00:55:57.079 Yeah, it's giving Jerry Lewis on crank. It is the 1189 00:55:57.119 --> 00:56:00.360 most absurd performance. Is like a little two real for 1190 00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:03.760 my taste, honestly, Yeah, very angry and selly guy who's 1191 00:56:03.800 --> 00:56:07.159 like who is prone to like violent fits, but is 1192 00:56:07.159 --> 00:56:09.840 also a computer genius. And that one was less. 1193 00:56:09.639 --> 00:56:12.199 Funny, aged beautifully like. 1194 00:56:12.199 --> 00:56:16.159 A fine wine. So he asked them about the list 1195 00:56:16.239 --> 00:56:19.039 of games that they've printed out, and they tell David 1196 00:56:19.039 --> 00:56:21.440 that they're like, the I don't think this is a 1197 00:56:21.480 --> 00:56:23.519 game company. I think you hacked into the military. 1198 00:56:23.880 --> 00:56:28.119 Okay. He is told that he hacked into the military. 1199 00:56:28.360 --> 00:56:30.880 When that when they said that to him, my jaw 1200 00:56:31.639 --> 00:56:35.320 dropped because now, like, I really wonder why they put 1201 00:56:35.320 --> 00:56:37.360 that in the script, because all you'd have to do 1202 00:56:37.440 --> 00:56:40.440 is have them not say it. And he has the character, 1203 00:56:40.559 --> 00:56:42.800 I mean, has deniability of being like he thinks it's 1204 00:56:42.840 --> 00:56:44.920 this game. He genuinely thinks it's a game. He has 1205 00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:48.280 been warned by people who know better than him that 1206 00:56:48.320 --> 00:56:49.880 this looks like the military. 1207 00:56:50.679 --> 00:56:53.159 I guess the only reason they put this in is 1208 00:56:53.199 --> 00:56:55.599 so that it gives him a reason to think, oh, 1209 00:56:55.719 --> 00:56:59.079 this could be military. Later on, he should have come 1210 00:56:59.119 --> 00:57:01.400 to that conclusion by himself. 1211 00:57:01.519 --> 00:57:02.639 Yeah, because he's not stupid. 1212 00:57:02.920 --> 00:57:05.519 He's not stupid. He's actually a genius. Right, you ra 1213 00:57:05.519 --> 00:57:07.880 absolutely right, because now that I think about where this 1214 00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:10.800 is going, this makes no sense that it's in here. 1215 00:57:11.039 --> 00:57:13.639 Yep. So David wonders why it would have checkers in 1216 00:57:13.719 --> 00:57:15.719 chess on it if it's from the military, and they're like, look, 1217 00:57:15.719 --> 00:57:18.800 those games teach basic strategy, so like it makes sense. 1218 00:57:19.400 --> 00:57:22.280 Then they tell him about the idea of a backdoor password. 1219 00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:25.599 I was not expecting Eugene from Greece to make the 1220 00:57:25.679 --> 00:57:28.440 back door euphemism joke about like there's a lady present, 1221 00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:30.519 you're talking about our back doors. I was like, wow, 1222 00:57:30.599 --> 00:57:32.199 okay a lot. 1223 00:57:33.840 --> 00:57:33.960 Uh. 1224 00:57:34.039 --> 00:57:36.039 But the hacker, the other hacker is like, look, I 1225 00:57:36.079 --> 00:57:38.480 always put a backdoor password into any system that I 1226 00:57:38.559 --> 00:57:40.480 create to make sure I can always get in, which 1227 00:57:40.519 --> 00:57:43.599 doesn't fill me with confidence about asking this guy to 1228 00:57:43.599 --> 00:57:46.920 build me a computer system. But whatever they suggest. Looking 1229 00:57:46.960 --> 00:57:49.360 deeper into the guy who created the system, they say 1230 00:57:49.440 --> 00:57:52.119 David should go through Falcon's maze. So that was the 1231 00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:55.639 first game that was listed before, like Poker and all 1232 00:57:55.679 --> 00:57:57.440 of those, and it's the only one that's not like 1233 00:57:57.480 --> 00:58:00.559 a real game or a military strategy. 1234 00:58:00.920 --> 00:58:06.840 We get a montage. We're getting montage and the most 1235 00:58:07.360 --> 00:58:08.519 meat meat. 1236 00:58:11.920 --> 00:58:14.559 It's almost Ross's music from Friends on the score, Like 1237 00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:15.800 it's so close. 1238 00:58:15.639 --> 00:58:20.239 It's a same Pop eight he's montage. Yeah, we're seeing 1239 00:58:20.360 --> 00:58:24.880 David in the librariest as he's coming through microfiche and 1240 00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:27.159 searching the card catalog. 1241 00:58:28.119 --> 00:58:31.960 Every card catalog looked the same, every single one that was. 1242 00:58:31.920 --> 00:58:34.480 The exact Every card catalog I ever went to looked 1243 00:58:34.519 --> 00:58:35.480 exactly like that one. 1244 00:58:35.599 --> 00:58:37.920 It had that it was the same color brown, It 1245 00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:42.320 had the same incredibly satisfying sliding long drawers in and 1246 00:58:42.360 --> 00:58:46.000 out with that gold hook that Oh I can smell it. 1247 00:58:46.320 --> 00:58:47.920 I can smell that card catalog. 1248 00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:49.800 We should go. We should buy one from like an 1249 00:58:49.840 --> 00:58:52.440 antique store and put any and then just I would 1250 00:58:52.920 --> 00:58:54.400 play card catalog all day. 1251 00:58:55.159 --> 00:58:57.320 Oh oh the dream, Oh. 1252 00:58:57.159 --> 00:58:59.119 My god, that would be actually very cool. 1253 00:59:00.519 --> 00:59:02.000 Now that I'm thinking about it. Can we get one 1254 00:59:02.039 --> 00:59:03.400 in repurpose it as a bar or something. 1255 00:59:03.480 --> 00:59:06.039 Yes, you could like put little like passwords and secret 1256 00:59:06.039 --> 00:59:08.599 codes in there for party guests and if you find 1257 00:59:08.599 --> 00:59:10.599 the secret password code, you get a free drink. I 1258 00:59:10.599 --> 00:59:12.400 don't know, justin off top of my head. 1259 00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:15.079 Why does not every escape room have a card catalog? 1260 00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:17.519 Oh? You know what. I have been to escape a 1261 00:59:17.519 --> 00:59:19.480 couple of them that do, though, But they. 1262 00:59:19.400 --> 00:59:22.159 Better have that sliding drawer. It better be a long drawer. 1263 00:59:22.519 --> 00:59:25.719 You best believe they do. Paul. So during the montage, 1264 00:59:25.840 --> 00:59:29.599 David finds out that the maze the game, Falcon's Maze, 1265 00:59:29.639 --> 00:59:33.320 is named for Stephen Falcon, who's an early researcher into 1266 00:59:33.360 --> 00:59:36.559 AI and machine learning. He passed away years ago while 1267 00:59:36.599 --> 00:59:39.719 he was still young. He was like, there's a line here. 1268 00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:42.519 Oh hurt hurts you and your so everyone buckle up. 1269 00:59:42.840 --> 00:59:44.639 This hurt me so much. I was angry. 1270 00:59:45.880 --> 00:59:48.079 I always do something at the television. I was like, 1271 00:59:48.119 --> 00:59:48.639 fuck off. 1272 00:59:48.920 --> 00:59:51.519 He's like. Later, explaining to Jennifer who this person is, 1273 00:59:51.519 --> 00:59:53.920 who Falcon is, She's like, oh, he looks so young 1274 00:59:54.000 --> 00:59:55.960 to have died, and David goes, he's not young. He's 1275 00:59:56.000 --> 00:59:58.760 forty one, and she goes, oh, yeah, forty one is old. 1276 00:59:59.159 --> 00:59:59.559 Yeah. 1277 00:59:59.800 --> 01:00:02.679 No, Irony just said it. I like, just said it 1278 01:00:02.719 --> 01:00:04.400 like it was a thing, and I wanted. I was like, 1279 01:00:04.480 --> 01:00:07.800 you know what, we should force children into work camps. 1280 01:00:11.880 --> 01:00:14.400 Why are we the ones working? Our bodies are so fragile, 1281 01:00:14.440 --> 01:00:16.480 they are young, and supple I break. 1282 01:00:16.400 --> 01:00:19.960 Them young immediately became a Nazi. The minute she said that, 1283 01:00:20.000 --> 01:00:21.800 I was like, I get it, I get I get 1284 01:00:21.840 --> 01:00:23.880 fascism because that made me angry. 1285 01:00:24.519 --> 01:00:26.960 They also met like they show a picture of young 1286 01:00:27.559 --> 01:00:33.800 John Wood here, Jennifer goes, that's him. Wow, he's amazing 1287 01:00:33.960 --> 01:00:38.920 looking and we love and respect to John Wood? Was 1288 01:00:38.960 --> 01:00:39.679 he okay? 1289 01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:42.119 Also like forty year old John Lennon would have been 1290 01:00:42.159 --> 01:00:43.800 in this role too, And I don't I don't know 1291 01:00:43.840 --> 01:00:48.039 about that. I'm sure that is a weird one to write. 1292 01:00:48.320 --> 01:00:51.800 Agree to her eternal credit, she actually sells it. I 1293 01:00:51.840 --> 01:00:54.559 get it, But I'm like, is he amazing looking? Or 1294 01:00:54.599 --> 01:00:55.719 is he just like a dude. 1295 01:00:56.000 --> 01:00:56.960 Yeah, here's the dude. 1296 01:00:57.280 --> 01:00:59.920 So David is trying to figure out the log on 1297 01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:05.360 to Falcon's maze with no success. Jennifer comes over. They 1298 01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:07.920 have that conversation, which is where they talk about how 1299 01:01:07.960 --> 01:01:09.039 forty one year olds. 1300 01:01:08.800 --> 01:01:11.400 Are just old, and where they personally attack us and 1301 01:01:11.519 --> 01:01:13.639 every listener of this podcast where. 1302 01:01:13.480 --> 01:01:16.119 They tell people over the age of forty to just fucking. 1303 01:01:15.840 --> 01:01:18.000 Die already get on the iceberg. 1304 01:01:18.360 --> 01:01:22.280 A Falcon while he was still alive, turns out to 1305 01:01:22.320 --> 01:01:24.960 have lost his wife and young son, whose name was Joshua, 1306 01:01:25.079 --> 01:01:28.280 in a car crash, and David goes, oh my god, 1307 01:01:29.159 --> 01:01:32.480 could it be that obvious? And he types Joshua in 1308 01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:33.639 and it logs on. 1309 01:01:33.880 --> 01:01:37.079 Okay, So David and Jennifer chat with quote unquote Joshua, 1310 01:01:37.159 --> 01:01:40.639 which we the audience know is really Whopper. So for 1311 01:01:40.719 --> 01:01:43.719 the rest of this movie, Wopper and Joshua are essentially 1312 01:01:43.719 --> 01:01:46.519 one and the same thing. David will keep calling it Joshua, 1313 01:01:46.639 --> 01:01:49.119 the military people will keep calling it Wopper. That's the 1314 01:01:49.199 --> 01:01:51.679 same thing in this movie. They sign on to the computer, 1315 01:01:51.800 --> 01:01:55.800 the computer addresses David as Professor Falcon, right, and they 1316 01:01:55.840 --> 01:01:58.519 start to have this conversation. It's been a long time. 1317 01:01:58.599 --> 01:02:02.079 How are you blah blah blah. Despite the clear warning 1318 01:02:02.599 --> 01:02:05.440 from the hackers that this is probably not pro division 1319 01:02:05.480 --> 01:02:09.400 but instead the military, these two Jabbronis decide they want 1320 01:02:09.400 --> 01:02:14.119 to play a game, and Jabbroni numero uno says, global 1321 01:02:14.159 --> 01:02:17.239 thermonuclear war fun fun. 1322 01:02:17.480 --> 01:02:20.079 I mean, in his defense, Checkers does not sound like fun. 1323 01:02:19.880 --> 01:02:20.480 So I get it. 1324 01:02:20.519 --> 01:02:23.599 But Chess, you get it. Yeah, it's sound like funn either. 1325 01:02:23.840 --> 01:02:25.519 I think it sounds like fun to someone like David. 1326 01:02:26.119 --> 01:02:27.920 Nuclear war sounds like fun to someone. 1327 01:02:27.719 --> 01:02:32.800 Like apparently, so Joshua asks him if he wants to 1328 01:02:32.800 --> 01:02:36.079 play as the US or as Russia, and David chooses Russia, 1329 01:02:36.159 --> 01:02:38.800 and he and Jennifer slurp tab and choose a couple 1330 01:02:38.880 --> 01:02:42.880 of targets for bombing, like Las Vegas and Seattle, the 1331 01:02:43.440 --> 01:02:45.400 city they live in, which is the other reason. I 1332 01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:48.280 was like, are they in Chicago? What is happening? 1333 01:02:50.519 --> 01:02:52.239 I can't tell you enough. All it is is then 1334 01:02:52.320 --> 01:02:54.559 putting in the names of cities they want to bomb 1335 01:02:55.039 --> 01:02:58.519 and then watching the bleep bloops on the screen slowly. 1336 01:02:59.119 --> 01:02:59.719 Yeahink. 1337 01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:05.400 I'm like, this is so boring, Like this is genuinely 1338 01:03:05.440 --> 01:03:07.840 so boring. I'm surprised She's not like, I gotta go, 1339 01:03:08.119 --> 01:03:10.719 I got I got friends in the mall to go to, 1340 01:03:11.199 --> 01:03:14.719 Like this is bullshit. So we cut to Norrad headquarters 1341 01:03:14.719 --> 01:03:20.840 in surprise surprise, they're like what now the computer is 1342 01:03:20.840 --> 01:03:24.079 telling us that the Russians are attacking Las Vegas and 1343 01:03:24.159 --> 01:03:27.239 Seattle the fuck. Meanwhile, we cut back to those two 1344 01:03:27.320 --> 01:03:31.280 Jabroni's in Seattle and they're interrupted by David's parents, who 1345 01:03:31.320 --> 01:03:34.199 are angry with him for not securing the trash properly. 1346 01:03:34.320 --> 01:03:37.320 They keep telling him, so he decides to deal with 1347 01:03:37.360 --> 01:03:40.599 his parents. Jennifer like laughs because parents are so funny 1348 01:03:40.599 --> 01:03:43.559 and embarrassing, and she leaves and David turns off his 1349 01:03:43.639 --> 01:03:46.840 computer to go help take out the trash. Meanwhile, the 1350 01:03:46.880 --> 01:03:52.760 computer screens at Norrad just go dark YEP, which terrifies 1351 01:03:52.800 --> 01:03:57.039 the military men even more what just happened. They realize 1352 01:03:57.039 --> 01:03:58.920 that their system has been hacked, that the whole thing 1353 01:03:59.000 --> 01:04:02.039 is a simular, but they don't know who hacked them, 1354 01:04:02.239 --> 01:04:05.000 what their purpose is. They're not pleased, and they're all 1355 01:04:05.039 --> 01:04:08.760 they figured out is that the original hacker is in Seattle, all. 1356 01:04:08.800 --> 01:04:11.480 Right, So we cut to the next day. David comes home. 1357 01:04:12.360 --> 01:04:14.400 His mother's like, you get down here and she's like 1358 01:04:14.480 --> 01:04:16.159 and he's like okay, and he comes down and she's like, 1359 01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:19.039 you passed all of your classes? They got they got 1360 01:04:19.039 --> 01:04:21.840 his report card, and like they are celebrating, not that 1361 01:04:21.920 --> 01:04:24.920 he aced all of his classes, just that he passed that. 1362 01:04:25.039 --> 01:04:28.920 Everyone is thrilled. There's this moment where Matthew Broderick, he 1363 01:04:28.960 --> 01:04:32.599 comes in, goes to see his mother. They go into 1364 01:04:32.639 --> 01:04:34.920 the living room. We've seen We've had the camera on 1365 01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:38.519 Matthew Broderick the whole time. Suddenly he has a yo 1366 01:04:38.599 --> 01:04:42.599 yo in his hand. Oh yeah, he yo yos twice 1367 01:04:43.360 --> 01:04:45.519 and then the yo yo just put just goes away. 1368 01:04:46.480 --> 01:04:50.320 Poor k poor k yo yo po Qua. 1369 01:04:50.039 --> 01:04:52.480 Like the performance when he's yo yo ing is very 1370 01:04:52.559 --> 01:04:56.079 like young and babyish and childish. He's like, yes, like this. 1371 01:04:56.599 --> 01:04:59.199 He does the thing in Ferris Vieler too at the 1372 01:04:59.280 --> 01:05:00.800 end of the movie when he talking to his mom 1373 01:05:00.800 --> 01:05:02.280 and he's like, I love you mommy. 1374 01:05:02.559 --> 01:05:02.760 Yeah. 1375 01:05:02.880 --> 01:05:06.000 In that movie, it makes sense. He's like manipulating his parents. 1376 01:05:06.440 --> 01:05:08.920 I think that's what they're going for here, but it Doesn'tah, 1377 01:05:09.280 --> 01:05:10.079 it's weird. 1378 01:05:10.360 --> 01:05:12.960 It's a weird moment. I'm like, was there a further 1379 01:05:13.079 --> 01:05:14.880 joke that got cut? With this, I'm look at. 1380 01:05:14.760 --> 01:05:16.480 It, flirting with your mom? 1381 01:05:16.559 --> 01:05:22.480 What is it happening? So they hear in a local 1382 01:05:22.519 --> 01:05:25.920 news report that NORAD was hacked yesterday and that for 1383 01:05:25.960 --> 01:05:28.039 three and a half minutes, the government basically believed that 1384 01:05:28.079 --> 01:05:30.960 World War three was starting, So he starts to sweat. 1385 01:05:31.119 --> 01:05:34.360 Don't you just love how like the news knows everything 1386 01:05:34.400 --> 01:05:37.320 about the military in this scenario, like the amount of 1387 01:05:37.320 --> 01:05:39.679 times has actually probably has happened if we just don't 1388 01:05:39.719 --> 01:05:41.840 know about it. Yeah, thank god, I'm kind of fine 1389 01:05:41.880 --> 01:05:42.039 with that. 1390 01:05:42.280 --> 01:05:44.360 I am fine with that. You want you want to 1391 01:05:44.360 --> 01:05:45.760 know why I could never have been in that bunker 1392 01:05:45.800 --> 01:05:47.840 because I would have been shitting my pants the entire 1393 01:05:47.840 --> 01:05:50.599 time I was in tummy troubles. Forget about it. I 1394 01:05:50.639 --> 01:05:54.000 can't do this. I would develop ibs in that fucking bunker. 1395 01:05:54.280 --> 01:05:58.119 Absolutely not. So David starts to sweat. He rushes upstairs 1396 01:05:58.159 --> 01:05:59.880 in time to get a call from Jennifer on his 1397 01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:04.679 private line. Jennifer is also watching the news, and David 1398 01:06:04.760 --> 01:06:08.000 is freaking out right, and Jennifer says, look, just throw 1399 01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:09.519 out the number and don't call it again, Like there's 1400 01:06:09.519 --> 01:06:12.519 no way they could have tracked you that quickly, like 1401 01:06:12.559 --> 01:06:14.199 we were online for like three minutes to stort it out, 1402 01:06:14.199 --> 01:06:15.880 and we're done, Like, now we know opes with that. Okay, 1403 01:06:15.880 --> 01:06:18.159 that really is the military. Whoopsie, Daisy, Let's just go 1404 01:06:18.159 --> 01:06:21.719 about our lives. This is the first hint of clinical stupidity, right, 1405 01:06:21.800 --> 01:06:23.719 This is where like this where you're getting the first, 1406 01:06:23.760 --> 01:06:27.159 the first the first Parsley sprig of stupidity on the 1407 01:06:27.280 --> 01:06:31.599 Jennifer Meal. So David's like, okay, he tries to shut 1408 01:06:31.599 --> 01:06:33.360 everything down. He tries to like pull off like his 1409 01:06:33.519 --> 01:06:36.320 murder board of like possible passwords and all that stuff, 1410 01:06:36.599 --> 01:06:40.000 but Joshua is not so easily deterred. The phone rings, 1411 01:06:40.079 --> 01:06:44.159 and the computer has called David. Because remember the whole 1412 01:06:44.199 --> 01:06:47.559 idea of behind this program that doctor Falcon created was 1413 01:06:47.800 --> 01:06:50.519 that the machine can learn, right, So the machine has 1414 01:06:50.639 --> 01:06:55.000 learned that its friend, doctor Falcon lives at this IP 1415 01:06:55.159 --> 01:06:56.440 address or I don't even know if it was an 1416 01:06:56.440 --> 01:06:59.039 ipaddress at that point. This, at this line, this is 1417 01:06:59.039 --> 01:07:02.000 where doctor Falcon is. David tries to tell the computer 1418 01:07:02.000 --> 01:07:04.800 that doctor Falcon is dead, but it insists that the simulation, 1419 01:07:04.960 --> 01:07:08.559 which has fifty two hours left on it, should continue 1420 01:07:08.639 --> 01:07:13.039 until its objective is achieved. And David's like what's the objective? 1421 01:07:13.639 --> 01:07:16.079 And the computer says, well, you should know you programmed me. 1422 01:07:16.239 --> 01:07:17.880 I love. This computer is a little bit bitchy. 1423 01:07:18.159 --> 01:07:22.079 This computer is so sassy with him. This computer's like, baby, 1424 01:07:22.119 --> 01:07:23.119 you know what I'm here for. 1425 01:07:23.599 --> 01:07:26.719 You know what we're doing here? And David frantically types 1426 01:07:26.760 --> 01:07:29.920 in what is the objective? And the computer says, because 1427 01:07:29.920 --> 01:07:31.760 he set up like a voice module with it, now 1428 01:07:32.199 --> 01:07:36.320 to win the game. And David picks the phone up 1429 01:07:36.599 --> 01:07:39.000 and he unplugs the phone cord and he hugs his 1430 01:07:39.039 --> 01:07:41.679 little dial up to his chest and he sits on 1431 01:07:41.719 --> 01:07:42.199 his bed and. 1432 01:07:42.239 --> 01:07:49.880 Is like, fuck, can you even imagine? I'm so averse 1433 01:07:49.960 --> 01:07:52.599 to being in trouble? I know, I know, Like this 1434 01:07:52.760 --> 01:07:54.960 is giving me hives watching this. 1435 01:07:55.840 --> 01:07:57.159 Do you remember when I told you that I thought 1436 01:07:57.199 --> 01:07:58.440 I was going to go to jail if I pulled 1437 01:07:58.480 --> 01:08:00.760 the fire alarm, Like that is how verse I am 1438 01:08:00.800 --> 01:08:01.599 to getting in trouble. 1439 01:08:01.719 --> 01:08:04.679 Yeah, me too. I would just run away and never 1440 01:08:04.719 --> 01:08:07.400 come back. Yeah, I just I would take that ticket 1441 01:08:07.440 --> 01:08:09.360 to Paris and disappear into the night. 1442 01:08:11.800 --> 01:08:13.960 All right, Erica, that is about halfway through war games. 1443 01:08:13.960 --> 01:08:16.079 Why don't we take a quick break here, We'll play 1444 01:08:16.159 --> 01:08:17.640 up more ads and we'll come back and we'll take 1445 01:08:17.680 --> 01:08:28.319 everyone through the rest of the film, and. 1446 01:08:28.239 --> 01:08:33.479 We're back the next day. After David realizes row, he 1447 01:08:33.600 --> 01:08:36.359 is immediately picked up by the FBI. Didn't take them 1448 01:08:36.359 --> 01:08:37.079 long to find. 1449 01:08:36.960 --> 01:08:39.319 Him, which is a bit a bit comforting in this 1450 01:08:39.439 --> 01:08:41.439 entire situation. You're like, you know what that happened quickly? 1451 01:08:41.520 --> 01:08:42.279 I appreciate that. 1452 01:08:43.159 --> 01:08:45.840 Okay. Here's the funny thing, though, we know that David 1453 01:08:45.880 --> 01:08:48.199 is seventeen because he says it earlier in the film. 1454 01:08:48.479 --> 01:08:51.119 The FBI picked David up outside of like a seven 1455 01:08:51.159 --> 01:08:55.920 eleven by himsell he's by himself, and they bring him 1456 01:08:55.920 --> 01:08:58.279 to nor Ad, which is in I want to say 1457 01:08:58.279 --> 01:08:58.880 New Mexico. 1458 01:08:59.119 --> 01:09:01.600 I think Colorado, say later it's in Colorado. 1459 01:09:01.680 --> 01:09:05.199 Okay, So they have kidnapped a teenage boy and without 1460 01:09:05.199 --> 01:09:08.720 his parents, yea, taken him across state lines. I don't 1461 01:09:08.720 --> 01:09:11.640 think that's how anything works. I'm just gonna move gloss 1462 01:09:11.720 --> 01:09:13.760 past that. But that's one of the very few things 1463 01:09:13.760 --> 01:09:15.560 that the government does in this movie that I'm like, 1464 01:09:15.960 --> 01:09:17.760 that's not how government governments, y'all. 1465 01:09:17.920 --> 01:09:18.680 Very questionable. 1466 01:09:18.760 --> 01:09:23.000 Meanwhile, also, something the government does not do while that's 1467 01:09:23.119 --> 01:09:29.359 happening there is Chekhov's tour group from Birmingham. So these 1468 01:09:29.399 --> 01:09:33.159 are ostensibly VIPs who are there to just look at 1469 01:09:33.239 --> 01:09:37.479 our top secret nuclear shit at Norad. Right, I don't 1470 01:09:37.520 --> 01:09:39.960 want to be a dick about this, but I'm gonna 1471 01:09:39.960 --> 01:09:44.279 wear Birmingham having like, like, guess the Tuskegee Institute is there. 1472 01:09:44.600 --> 01:09:48.000 But this these people do not seem like college students, 1473 01:09:48.039 --> 01:09:48.600 do you know what I mean? 1474 01:09:48.640 --> 01:09:51.920 People seem like a tour group from Birmingham, like they 1475 01:09:51.960 --> 01:09:52.680 just signed. 1476 01:09:52.479 --> 01:09:55.399 Up and it's like wildly different ages on everyone. There's 1477 01:09:55.439 --> 01:09:58.760 teenagers on the trip. There's like an older woman that 1478 01:09:58.800 --> 01:10:01.399 they really with at one point. 1479 01:10:01.600 --> 01:10:03.880 So I thought it was a school trip at one point. 1480 01:10:03.920 --> 01:10:06.720 I'm like, they can't be bringing a high school a 1481 01:10:06.800 --> 01:10:10.159 high school, like I don't know, physics class into Norrad. 1482 01:10:10.960 --> 01:10:13.680 Remember Paul, when you were in high school and we 1483 01:10:14.880 --> 01:10:18.359 and we visited the top secret bunker for the president. 1484 01:10:18.640 --> 01:10:21.000 Yeah, remember that trip? That was so nice? 1485 01:10:21.119 --> 01:10:23.479 Well got to hang out in the top secret bunker? 1486 01:10:23.800 --> 01:10:26.039 What the fuck? Like, do you remember when your junior 1487 01:10:26.119 --> 01:10:28.680 high was taken into Fort Knox and everything, like just 1488 01:10:28.680 --> 01:10:30.199 take one piece, you can take one piece? 1489 01:10:30.920 --> 01:10:33.119 Yeah? Remember when you got a moon rock in elementary school? 1490 01:10:33.199 --> 01:10:34.319 You got to go you got to go to like 1491 01:10:34.359 --> 01:10:36.039 the NASA Museum. You got to take a moon rock. 1492 01:10:36.119 --> 01:10:36.760 Everyone got one. 1493 01:10:36.920 --> 01:10:39.399 Everyone got one. Remember remember when we were all shot 1494 01:10:39.439 --> 01:10:44.039 into space? What? None of this makes sense? Why are 1495 01:10:44.079 --> 01:10:45.319 these people at NORAD? 1496 01:10:45.359 --> 01:10:47.119 Remember if you got a high enough grade on your 1497 01:10:47.199 --> 01:10:50.239 like astrophysics test, you got to go to Area fifty 1498 01:10:50.319 --> 01:10:53.239 one and see the alien ships. That that all happened. 1499 01:10:53.960 --> 01:10:58.279 I can't tell the audience enough how little security there is. 1500 01:10:58.439 --> 01:11:01.119 So someone at NORAD explained to the tour group and 1501 01:11:01.319 --> 01:11:05.319 also to the audience that deaf Con means defense condition, 1502 01:11:05.600 --> 01:11:07.239 right like defense readiness condition. 1503 01:11:07.359 --> 01:11:09.560 I also always thought that deaf Con five was the 1504 01:11:09.600 --> 01:11:12.079 worst one, which is not. Deaf Con five is where 1505 01:11:12.119 --> 01:11:13.399 you want to be. Deaf Con one is when you 1506 01:11:13.399 --> 01:11:14.079 shit your pants. 1507 01:11:14.319 --> 01:11:17.720 Yeah, exactly, exactly good point. So we're currently at deaf 1508 01:11:17.760 --> 01:11:21.720 Con four. We're currently at four specifically because of what 1509 01:11:21.800 --> 01:11:22.479 David pulled. 1510 01:11:22.840 --> 01:11:26.319 Does it feel like there should be more levels between 1511 01:11:26.520 --> 01:11:27.439 the should be fine? 1512 01:11:27.720 --> 01:11:31.319 I would like thirty six deaf Cons like deaf I 1513 01:11:31.359 --> 01:11:32.960 would like to be a deaf Con seventy two. 1514 01:11:33.159 --> 01:11:34.279 That's where I would like to be. 1515 01:11:34.720 --> 01:11:38.319 I would definitely like some more layers because we're I 1516 01:11:38.359 --> 01:11:41.239 feel like we're currently at three, right. 1517 01:11:41.079 --> 01:11:43.880 Yeah, I think so. Yeah, that's how that's that's how 1518 01:11:43.920 --> 01:11:44.680 my gut feels. 1519 01:11:45.000 --> 01:11:47.000 So not only are we at deaf Con four because 1520 01:11:47.000 --> 01:11:49.880 of what David did, but the Soviets caught on to 1521 01:11:49.960 --> 01:11:53.880 what happened. Yeah, us with our simulation, and now they're 1522 01:11:53.920 --> 01:11:54.479 on alert. 1523 01:11:54.640 --> 01:11:57.239 Yeah. Now now we're in a dick swinging contest with Russia. 1524 01:11:57.359 --> 01:12:01.720 Fantastic cool. Yeah, So we to McKittrick. That's Stabney Coleman. 1525 01:12:02.319 --> 01:12:05.520 He's getting debriefed on the situation, while Baron Jurr, the General, 1526 01:12:05.600 --> 01:12:07.800 is just enjoying the fact that, like the computer had 1527 01:12:07.800 --> 01:12:09.520 to screw up, right, He's like this is great. He's 1528 01:12:09.560 --> 01:12:12.720 like eating red vines or red ones or something like. Yeah, 1529 01:12:12.760 --> 01:12:17.239 basically mocking McKittrick from the sidelines. Just it's funny but 1530 01:12:17.359 --> 01:12:18.279 not appropriate, sir. 1531 01:12:18.399 --> 01:12:21.720 This is seconds from pushing him into a locker, right, He. 1532 01:12:21.800 --> 01:12:26.399 Is like, shut up one hundred percent. So McKittrick is 1533 01:12:26.399 --> 01:12:29.199 convinced that David has to be working with someone else. 1534 01:12:29.239 --> 01:12:32.119 A high school student could not possibly have hacked his 1535 01:12:32.199 --> 01:12:35.359 way into whopper. McKittrick announces, I'm going to take care 1536 01:12:35.359 --> 01:12:37.840 of questioning David, and he goes to meet David in 1537 01:12:37.880 --> 01:12:40.960 the infirmary where he's being held because apparently NORAD does 1538 01:12:41.000 --> 01:12:44.479 not have like jail cells because it's not a secure institution. 1539 01:12:45.520 --> 01:12:47.640 Yeah, that kind of wigged me out. I don't like 1540 01:12:47.720 --> 01:12:49.359 that at all. I'm like, is there not even like 1541 01:12:49.399 --> 01:12:52.039 a fucking office that you could just lock? Yeah, don't 1542 01:12:52.079 --> 01:12:54.640 put this kid in there with like medical equipment. 1543 01:12:54.760 --> 01:12:56.960 If you actually think he's a spy, which you do. 1544 01:12:57.319 --> 01:13:01.399 They're very very capable, they're imaginative. 1545 01:13:01.520 --> 01:13:04.640 Yeah, they think David is an undercover like Russian agent, 1546 01:13:04.720 --> 01:13:05.640 like a sleeper agent. 1547 01:13:05.880 --> 01:13:08.520 So McKittrick takes David out of the infirm rate to 1548 01:13:08.560 --> 01:13:11.079 his office. He's kind of trying to like he's trying 1549 01:13:11.119 --> 01:13:12.640 to be buddy buddy at this point. 1550 01:13:13.000 --> 01:13:16.279 He's trying to play a good cop with David. Right again, 1551 01:13:16.439 --> 01:13:20.520 Like what McKittrick is a scientist at NORAD. He is 1552 01:13:20.560 --> 01:13:22.600 not a cop, he is not an FBI agent, he 1553 01:13:22.680 --> 01:13:26.520 is not a military, he's not trained to interrogate anyone. 1554 01:13:26.600 --> 01:13:29.479 He is a computer guy. None of this is how 1555 01:13:29.520 --> 01:13:34.079 anything works. And he takes the guy who he believes 1556 01:13:34.159 --> 01:13:38.640 is a secret Russian spy into his office, not a 1557 01:13:38.680 --> 01:13:42.319 secure location, not a room for questioning. People, not even 1558 01:13:42.399 --> 01:13:45.239 like a fucking bat, like just empty space. He takes 1559 01:13:45.279 --> 01:13:48.039 him into his office where all of his shit is 1560 01:13:48.439 --> 01:13:51.239 and he's like, don't pay attention to anything that you 1561 01:13:51.279 --> 01:13:53.479 see in here, buddy, I'm gonna question you now. None 1562 01:13:53.479 --> 01:13:59.560 of this is how anything works. So they start to talk. 1563 01:14:00.039 --> 01:14:03.600 Even in US find out that McKittrick was once doctor 1564 01:14:03.640 --> 01:14:08.520 Falcon's assistant. David tells mickkittrick the truth of everything. He's like, look, 1565 01:14:08.560 --> 01:14:10.359 I am just a punk kid who is trying to 1566 01:14:10.359 --> 01:14:13.279 play a game and I connected to the system. And 1567 01:14:13.680 --> 01:14:15.800 the second time I connected the system, I wasn't even 1568 01:14:15.840 --> 01:14:17.880 trying to connect to the system. The system called me. 1569 01:14:18.600 --> 01:14:21.159 And McKittrick is like, that's not supposed to happen. And 1570 01:14:21.199 --> 01:14:23.800 he's like, yeah, I know, you're the computer guy. You 1571 01:14:23.920 --> 01:14:27.680 tell me what happened. McKittrick is like, nah, you're definitely 1572 01:14:27.680 --> 01:14:33.840 a Russian spy and David's like, no, it definitely was 1573 01:14:33.920 --> 01:14:35.640 a prank. And McKittrick is like, then, why did you 1574 01:14:35.680 --> 01:14:37.520 buy tickets to Paris? Are you trying to flee to 1575 01:14:37.560 --> 01:14:39.600 a country with no ex tradition And David's like, I 1576 01:14:39.720 --> 01:14:40.920 was trying to impress a girl. 1577 01:14:43.159 --> 01:14:44.560 How has this gone so wrong. 1578 01:14:45.560 --> 01:14:49.640 Before the quote unquote interview can continue, because this is 1579 01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:53.319 all at an impasse, mckckittrick is called away and he 1580 01:14:53.479 --> 01:14:57.600 leaves David the Russian spy, the parent person he believes 1581 01:14:57.640 --> 01:15:02.800 is a Russian spy and super genius in his office unattended. 1582 01:15:03.119 --> 01:15:03.600 That's correct. 1583 01:15:04.439 --> 01:15:10.840 Made me boil. It takes so little to just not 1584 01:15:10.960 --> 01:15:15.560 be this stupid, Like, just don't be this is so stupid. Anyway, 1585 01:15:15.600 --> 01:15:16.640 I will move on. 1586 01:15:17.239 --> 01:15:19.960 So we cut to mckittrick's meeting. He's told that someone 1587 01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:22.920 got into the system and stole the nuclear launch codes. 1588 01:15:23.279 --> 01:15:27.960 This is said so casually. Yea, like someone got into 1589 01:15:28.000 --> 01:15:30.800 the system and they refunded twenty dollars to if a 1590 01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:32.560 person didn't deserve it. Like that's the. 1591 01:15:32.920 --> 01:15:35.920 Someone got into the office fridge and stole all the yogurt. 1592 01:15:36.079 --> 01:15:39.479 Yeah, someone ate my lunch. I had it clearly marked 1593 01:15:39.560 --> 01:15:41.920 in the office fridge and they ate it. Like that's 1594 01:15:41.960 --> 01:15:46.319 how this is said. He's unconcerned. He tells us two 1595 01:15:46.359 --> 01:15:50.359 pieces of information. One the system will not launch unless 1596 01:15:50.359 --> 01:15:53.720 they are at Defcon one, and two he can change 1597 01:15:53.720 --> 01:15:56.600 the launch codes in less than an hour. So I 1598 01:15:56.640 --> 01:15:59.479 think with the implication here because I couldn't quite get 1599 01:15:59.520 --> 01:16:03.920 it the first time time Whopper Slash Joshua stole the codes. 1600 01:16:04.039 --> 01:16:06.319 That's how they. That's how they. That's the thing that 1601 01:16:06.359 --> 01:16:09.439 got into take the nuclear launch codes. McKittrick will then 1602 01:16:09.560 --> 01:16:14.039 change them off screen, So these launch codes that were 1603 01:16:14.079 --> 01:16:18.039 stolen have been changed. That's important for later in the movie. 1604 01:16:18.439 --> 01:16:18.840 Yeah. 1605 01:16:19.079 --> 01:16:21.920 This all further convinces them that David must be working 1606 01:16:21.960 --> 01:16:25.279 with someone, and Bhringer takes them to def Con three. Hey, 1607 01:16:25.520 --> 01:16:28.600 you know what, we just found out. The fucking nukes 1608 01:16:28.800 --> 01:16:31.439 can't launch if you're not at def Con one. 1609 01:16:32.039 --> 01:16:34.159 Let's maybe back up to five. 1610 01:16:35.479 --> 01:16:37.560 Let's go back down. 1611 01:16:38.479 --> 01:16:42.000 Def Con should have more levels than the Kidney scale. 1612 01:16:42.279 --> 01:16:43.880 What I'm saying exactly. 1613 01:16:44.119 --> 01:16:46.560 Even the Kinzie scale I think needs more levels. I 1614 01:16:46.600 --> 01:16:49.079 honestly think the Kinsey scale should have like ten. Yeah, 1615 01:16:49.319 --> 01:16:52.399 there's a whole lot on that spectrum of sexual behavior. 1616 01:16:52.600 --> 01:16:55.680 Sure is, let's make deaf Con at least better than 1617 01:16:55.680 --> 01:16:56.520 the Kidsey scale. 1618 01:16:56.560 --> 01:16:56.960 Please. 1619 01:16:57.359 --> 01:17:02.000 Meanwhile, back at mckittrick's office, the fucking kid they left 1620 01:17:02.039 --> 01:17:05.000 alone with all the computers does the thing you think 1621 01:17:05.039 --> 01:17:07.960 he's going to do. He logs into the Kittrick's computer 1622 01:17:08.039 --> 01:17:11.840 to speak with Joshua right again to speak with Whopper again. 1623 01:17:12.319 --> 01:17:14.560 He asks the computer if it's still playing the game, 1624 01:17:14.600 --> 01:17:17.159 which it obviously is. It projects and it will now 1625 01:17:17.199 --> 01:17:20.279 be launching the missiles in about twenty eight hours. Joshua 1626 01:17:20.399 --> 01:17:23.520 tells David that it has been trying to reach him, 1627 01:17:23.560 --> 01:17:26.079 but he was unavailable in Seattle. I missed you, friend. 1628 01:17:26.119 --> 01:17:28.399 Where were you? What the fuck is it? 1629 01:17:29.279 --> 01:17:31.359 The movie does not engage at all with how weird 1630 01:17:31.399 --> 01:17:34.760 it is that the AI is like a living thing. 1631 01:17:34.840 --> 01:17:39.199 Missing its friend. Yeah, so Joshua tells David that I 1632 01:17:39.279 --> 01:17:42.359 wasn't able to reach you in Seattle or at your 1633 01:17:42.520 --> 01:17:48.560 classified address, because remember, the computer thinks David is Falcon, right, 1634 01:17:49.479 --> 01:17:52.800 David's like, oh what, I have a classified address? What 1635 01:17:53.279 --> 01:17:56.960 might that be? And Joshua tells him that doctor Robert Hume, 1636 01:17:57.319 --> 01:18:01.039 an alias of doctor Falcon, currently lives on Goose Island 1637 01:18:01.399 --> 01:18:04.680 in Oregon. At that moment, they all bust into the 1638 01:18:04.680 --> 01:18:07.520 office and realize David's fucking with the goddamn computer again, 1639 01:18:08.000 --> 01:18:10.640 and they've taken back to the affirm infirmary to await 1640 01:18:10.680 --> 01:18:14.760 extra like extraction to a real fucking detention center, a 1641 01:18:14.760 --> 01:18:18.119 real facility. Meanwhile, David is shouting, Hey, guys, I think 1642 01:18:18.159 --> 01:18:20.760 doctor Falcon is still alive. We need to call him 1643 01:18:20.760 --> 01:18:23.880 to fix this. Blah blah blah, backdoor blah. He explains 1644 01:18:23.880 --> 01:18:26.960 to them everything the audience now knows. They ignore him completely. 1645 01:18:27.000 --> 01:18:29.600 They're like, shut up, Russian spy, get in the infirmary. 1646 01:18:29.840 --> 01:18:32.760 So he's brought to the infirmary by this swarthy man 1647 01:18:33.359 --> 01:18:34.600 in full military garb. 1648 01:18:34.720 --> 01:18:37.560 Okay, what is this military though? What military is this? 1649 01:18:37.800 --> 01:18:39.039 I don't know, but I'm into it. 1650 01:18:39.119 --> 01:18:42.279 The man is wearing a navy blue suit with a white, 1651 01:18:42.800 --> 01:18:47.119 silky sheeny looking ascot like it's got like a metallic 1652 01:18:47.199 --> 01:18:49.880 sheen to it, a jaunty beret. 1653 01:18:50.279 --> 01:18:50.960 Uh huh. 1654 01:18:51.000 --> 01:18:53.359 He has a porn stash for the ages. 1655 01:18:53.560 --> 01:18:56.159 He looks like a star of the Falcon videos that 1656 01:18:56.279 --> 01:18:58.199 I always dreamed of watching in the eighties. 1657 01:18:58.560 --> 01:19:00.680 He looks like if there was a poor made about 1658 01:19:00.680 --> 01:19:05.560 sodom Hussein.

That's perfect sodom Hussein, 1663 01:19:22.479 --> 01:19:25.600 So David's in the infirmary. He immediately starts to plan 1664 01:19:25.680 --> 01:19:30.079 his escape, while sodom Hussein s O d O M 1665 01:19:30.399 --> 01:19:33.920 starts sexually harassing the woman that's like working at her 1666 01:19:33.960 --> 01:19:37.760 at her desk close by the door. David mcgivers his 1667 01:19:37.840 --> 01:19:40.880 way out of the prison using only a couple of scissors, 1668 01:19:40.920 --> 01:19:43.560 a tape recorder, the duct system, and a lot of luck. 1669 01:19:43.680 --> 01:19:46.439 I can't get into like all the different steps, but 1670 01:19:46.439 --> 01:19:49.039 when I tell you that he absolutely should not be 1671 01:19:49.079 --> 01:19:54.479 able to make it out of Nord, please believe me. 1672 01:19:54.960 --> 01:20:00.560 He bleep bloops himself out of is wild. 1673 01:20:03.199 --> 01:20:07.119 He manages to masquerade as a member of Chekhov's Birmingham 1674 01:20:07.159 --> 01:20:10.079 tour group and hops on the departing bus with them, 1675 01:20:10.079 --> 01:20:11.319 and he makes it out of Norad. 1676 01:20:11.840 --> 01:20:14.199 So we cut to David hopping out of like a 1677 01:20:14.199 --> 01:20:18.399 semi right, he's hitchhiking. He then like jury rigs a 1678 01:20:18.560 --> 01:20:22.319 phone call using a top of like a tab from 1679 01:20:22.399 --> 01:20:24.800 like a coke co can, like an aluminum co can. 1680 01:20:25.199 --> 01:20:27.720 But like this scene actually super interested me because I 1681 01:20:27.720 --> 01:20:29.399 actually think that might be a real thing, and I 1682 01:20:29.439 --> 01:20:31.479 just don't know, I think it was. Yeah, he like 1683 01:20:31.560 --> 01:20:34.520 takes the bottom off of the payphone and then like 1684 01:20:35.399 --> 01:20:39.239 tricks it into letting him bypass making a payment because 1685 01:20:39.239 --> 01:20:41.159 he doesn't have any money, so he tries to call 1686 01:20:41.279 --> 01:20:44.239 doctor Robert Hume and doctor Stephen Falcon. There are no 1687 01:20:44.319 --> 01:20:47.680 listenings for either. He calls Jennifer and he's like, I 1688 01:20:47.680 --> 01:20:49.319 need I need your help. I need you to buy 1689 01:20:49.359 --> 01:20:51.800 me a ticket to fly from Colorado to Oregon. I 1690 01:20:51.840 --> 01:20:54.479 need money.

The movie 1693 01:21:00.600 --> 01:21:03.279 bypasses all of that, right, Yeah. He gets to Oregon 1694 01:21:03.399 --> 01:21:06.079 to go meet with doctor Falcon and she's there to 1695 01:21:06.119 --> 01:21:07.840 meet him. He's like, what are you doing here? And 1696 01:21:07.880 --> 01:21:10.159 she's like, I drove down from Seattle because you're in 1697 01:21:10.199 --> 01:21:12.279 trouble and you need help. And then she looks at 1698 01:21:12.319 --> 01:21:16.960 him sincerely and sincerely asks, hey, David, are you in 1699 01:21:17.000 --> 01:21:21.239 trouble with the FBI because you changed my grade in 1700 01:21:21.319 --> 01:21:24.560 biology from an F to an A. And that is 1701 01:21:24.600 --> 01:21:25.960 the moment David should have been. 1702 01:21:25.880 --> 01:21:28.239 Like, oh no, oh no. 1703 01:21:28.199 --> 01:21:30.680 You need to go back to school.

You need 1706 01:21:35.800 --> 01:21:39.800 to learn things because you are clinically stupid. You were 1707 01:21:39.880 --> 01:21:42.680 with me when we broke into the government, right, you 1708 01:21:42.880 --> 01:21:46.000 saw that part. You were there, you saw you helped 1709 01:21:46.000 --> 01:21:51.760 me almost nuke Las Vegas. But you think the whole 1710 01:21:51.880 --> 01:21:56.279 ass government is after me because I changed your biology. 1711 01:21:55.640 --> 01:21:59.239 Grid, specifically yours, not ours. Are you in trouble for 1712 01:21:59.439 --> 01:22:03.800 changing grades? Maybe? Maybe then maybe. 1713 01:22:03.359 --> 01:22:05.079 He should have put her back on the bus and 1714 01:22:05.119 --> 01:22:07.479 been like, I do not care how attractive you are. 1715 01:22:08.000 --> 01:22:10.640 You need to learn things before we can ever engage 1716 01:22:10.640 --> 01:22:11.760 in a conversation. Again. 1717 01:22:12.000 --> 01:22:14.920 Well, it's funny because I heard the line and I 1718 01:22:14.960 --> 01:22:17.199 was like, why did they have for Why didn't they 1719 01:22:17.199 --> 01:22:18.960 say no? Ali, like you have to do it, like 1720 01:22:19.039 --> 01:22:21.119 you know, that's not the reason. 1721 01:22:21.479 --> 01:22:23.560 It's a joke, make light of the situation. 1722 01:22:23.640 --> 01:22:27.600 Yeah, it's Jennifer making a joke to David because it's 1723 01:22:27.680 --> 01:22:29.479 kind of funny the way she's not it's not like 1724 01:22:29.520 --> 01:22:32.479 a failure as a joke. It just so undercuts the 1725 01:22:32.560 --> 01:22:34.800 character that she says it, like, is it because you 1726 01:22:34.880 --> 01:22:37.640 change my grade? Supposed to be like, oh, you're in 1727 01:22:37.640 --> 01:22:39.720 trouble the FBI, Probably because you change my grade. Right, 1728 01:22:39.760 --> 01:22:42.880 that's a big deal, like something like that, and acause. 1729 01:22:42.600 --> 01:22:45.279 We almost started World War three in your room, I 1730 01:22:45.520 --> 01:22:47.479 literally out loud to my computer. I was watching this, 1731 01:22:47.520 --> 01:22:55.479 and my computer went I was so angry. 1732 01:22:55.520 --> 01:22:58.520 All right. So the two barely make the ferry to 1733 01:22:58.600 --> 01:23:02.279 Goose Island and David explaining that Falcan's still alive and 1734 01:23:02.319 --> 01:23:05.279 he's the only one who understands Joshua and he might 1735 01:23:05.319 --> 01:23:07.359 be able to stop the computer from trying to win 1736 01:23:07.399 --> 01:23:10.479 the game of global thermo nuclear war that they started. 1737 01:23:10.960 --> 01:23:13.159 And Jennifer at first is like, I don't know, and 1738 01:23:13.159 --> 01:23:14.920 then finally she's like no, no. He starts to really 1739 01:23:14.920 --> 01:23:17.039 freak out, and she's like, Okay, I believe you. I 1740 01:23:17.119 --> 01:23:20.600 believe you. They have this this weird moment where like 1741 01:23:20.640 --> 01:23:22.880 they kind of look at each other and they breathe 1742 01:23:22.920 --> 01:23:25.239 into each other's mouths. Can remember that's very hot in movies, 1743 01:23:25.239 --> 01:23:28.199 And you breathe into each other's mouths, and then rather 1744 01:23:28.279 --> 01:23:31.279 than kiss, she like kisses him on the cheek. It's 1745 01:23:31.319 --> 01:23:33.920 a very I can't quite figure out the reason for 1746 01:23:33.960 --> 01:23:36.520 it because it seems like a kiss moment. It's like, 1747 01:23:36.560 --> 01:23:38.520 I believe you, and then I'm like, okay, maybe it's 1748 01:23:38.520 --> 01:23:41.239 because he's so freaked out it read is too weird. 1749 01:23:41.319 --> 01:23:44.359 If she kissed him, Yeah, I think so, because she's 1750 01:23:44.479 --> 01:23:50.279 dumb enough to believe also emotionally intelligent to read the 1751 01:23:50.399 --> 01:23:52.119 room and be like, now is not the time for 1752 01:23:52.159 --> 01:23:55.039 a bake out, Sash, Now is the time to calm 1753 01:23:55.199 --> 01:23:55.640 him down. 1754 01:23:56.039 --> 01:23:56.239 Yeah. 1755 01:23:56.279 --> 01:23:58.359 I cannot get a read on this character. 1756 01:23:58.560 --> 01:24:01.319 Yeah, like, maybe maybe it's her hug him at this point, 1757 01:24:01.359 --> 01:24:03.680 he can just hug him. Okay, I believe you. I'm here, Like, 1758 01:24:04.159 --> 01:24:07.520 we'll figure this out together. We two intrepid teenagers will 1759 01:24:07.560 --> 01:24:12.960 somehow stop global thermer nuclear war. Ah. They arrive on Goose. 1760 01:24:12.760 --> 01:24:20.680 Island, can't even stop a motorbikes, Like, where are the 1761 01:24:20.840 --> 01:24:21.960 breaks on the game? 1762 01:24:22.279 --> 01:24:24.319 Because that was my fault, that was my problem. Are 1763 01:24:24.319 --> 01:24:27.199 their breaks on the game? No, I wouldn't. 1764 01:24:26.840 --> 01:24:29.399 Trust Jennifer to fix any situation. 1765 01:24:34.199 --> 01:24:37.439 They arrive on Goose Island, they make their way to 1766 01:24:37.479 --> 01:24:41.199 the address that Joshua gave them. As they walk up 1767 01:24:41.239 --> 01:24:43.199 to the address, by the way, this features one of 1768 01:24:43.239 --> 01:24:46.039 our favorite things, which is when the characters are walking 1769 01:24:46.039 --> 01:24:48.359 at dusk and then we just change and suddenly it's 1770 01:24:48.399 --> 01:24:52.880 full daylight, Like, there's what happened? Okay, fine, they see 1771 01:24:52.920 --> 01:24:56.079 a pterodactyl flying through the air. Now, Erica, I am 1772 01:24:56.119 --> 01:25:00.079 at this point so bewildered by this movie and so 1773 01:25:00.199 --> 01:25:02.720 like anything could happen that I'm like, are they about 1774 01:25:02.720 --> 01:25:04.079 to have like a fucking dinosaur? 1775 01:25:06.119 --> 01:25:07.720 Is this a Jurassic Park moment? 1776 01:25:07.840 --> 01:25:10.319 I literally was like, I know, we have a mad 1777 01:25:10.399 --> 01:25:13.279 scientist and I'm like, is this gonna be something like 1778 01:25:13.319 --> 01:25:16.039 he's he has a pet pterodactyl. Because I'm like, it's 1779 01:25:16.039 --> 01:25:19.399 the anything could happen? And they actually got me for 1780 01:25:19.399 --> 01:25:24.560 a second. After wildly underreacting to the pterodactyl, David and 1781 01:25:24.680 --> 01:25:29.439 Jennifer come across doctor Stephen Falcon played by the great 1782 01:25:29.439 --> 01:25:32.359 and good John Wood. He is piloting the pterodactyl, which 1783 01:25:32.359 --> 01:25:33.760 turns out to be a robot. 1784 01:25:33.960 --> 01:25:38.239 What a really fucking realistic looking pterodactyl? Like, yeah, it 1785 01:25:38.279 --> 01:25:39.279 looks fantastic. 1786 01:25:39.520 --> 01:25:41.279 It looks good enough that it made me think this 1787 01:25:41.359 --> 01:25:44.279 is the eighties telling me that this is an actual 1788 01:25:44.359 --> 01:25:47.800 fucking pterodactyl. Like I did buy it. I will admit 1789 01:25:47.840 --> 01:25:49.800 that I might also be clinically stupid for saying this, 1790 01:25:49.880 --> 01:25:51.640 but I will be honest that I did have a moment. 1791 01:25:51.840 --> 01:25:54.439 Okay, I can't look since we're being real, Since we're 1792 01:25:54.479 --> 01:25:56.600 being real. I saw this in the movie, and I 1793 01:25:56.720 --> 01:25:59.479 for my first thought was pterodactyl. Yeah, it looks so 1794 01:25:59.640 --> 01:26:02.760 real that my second thought was even dummer pul. My 1795 01:26:02.880 --> 01:26:05.760 second thought was, are there birds that look like pterodactyl? 1796 01:26:07.479 --> 01:26:10.119 Is there a hawk or something that looks like a pterodactyl? 1797 01:26:10.239 --> 01:26:12.239 Well, I think we would have been helped if they 1798 01:26:12.319 --> 01:26:14.720 had reacted to it, if they were like, what the 1799 01:26:14.760 --> 01:26:18.720 fuck is that? Like like, but they don't. And then 1800 01:26:18.720 --> 01:26:20.439 at one point it like swoops down. They just dive 1801 01:26:20.520 --> 01:26:22.039 to the ground to avoid it. But at no point 1802 01:26:22.079 --> 01:26:22.640 it's either one. 1803 01:26:22.600 --> 01:26:24.520 Of them like, that's a fucking pterodactyl. 1804 01:26:28.760 --> 01:26:31.880 There's this great thing I learned in when I was 1805 01:26:31.920 --> 01:26:35.119 writing more about like you can have your character shoot 1806 01:26:35.199 --> 01:26:37.319 like lightning out of his hands or her hands, right, 1807 01:26:37.720 --> 01:26:39.479 And the thing that tells us the most about the 1808 01:26:39.520 --> 01:26:41.920 story you're telling is how the person next to them 1809 01:26:41.960 --> 01:26:43.840 reacts to them shooting lightning out of their hands. 1810 01:26:44.000 --> 01:26:44.399 Yeah. Right. 1811 01:26:44.399 --> 01:26:46.399 If the person's like holy shit, you just like, okay, 1812 01:26:46.439 --> 01:26:48.000 so that's real. And if the person's like, oh yeah, 1813 01:26:48.000 --> 01:26:50.239 I can do that too, you know so much more 1814 01:26:50.279 --> 01:26:55.000 about the world that you're inhabiting and this is a pterodactyl. 1815 01:26:55.039 --> 01:26:56.199 Have them react to it? 1816 01:26:57.000 --> 01:26:57.479 Ha ha. 1817 01:26:58.159 --> 01:27:00.079 I mean, honestly, I would have been very sea And 1818 01:27:00.119 --> 01:27:02.960 if Jennifer was like, do birds look like karad Actor? 1819 01:27:05.760 --> 01:27:08.239 I would have been like, Okay, Jennifer, you know what? Yeah, 1820 01:27:08.520 --> 01:27:09.359 I see you girls, I. 1821 01:27:09.319 --> 01:27:13.039 See you girl. That is a good question, all right. 1822 01:27:13.119 --> 01:27:17.840 So Falcon is eccentric and stand offish, but when David 1823 01:27:17.840 --> 01:27:20.920 says he came because of Joshua, Falcon stops and he 1824 01:27:21.039 --> 01:27:25.119 allows them into his house. Meanwhile, back at Norad, things 1825 01:27:25.159 --> 01:27:28.560 continue to escalate, and Behinger takes them to deaf Con too. 1826 01:27:29.000 --> 01:27:31.319 You guys, I'm gonna make a number two at deaf 1827 01:27:31.399 --> 01:27:31.760 Con two. 1828 01:27:32.399 --> 01:27:33.960 What what? What are you doing? 1829 01:27:34.039 --> 01:27:34.560 What are you doing? 1830 01:27:34.640 --> 01:27:38.960 Who? By the way, is this the one guy who 1831 01:27:39.039 --> 01:27:40.720 gets I get that? He's also the chairman of the 1832 01:27:40.800 --> 01:27:42.600 Joint Chiefs. They said that at the beginning of the movie, 1833 01:27:42.640 --> 01:27:46.039 which is hilarious because he's such a buffoon. Can we 1834 01:27:46.079 --> 01:27:48.960 get Ronald Reagan on the horn and just make sure 1835 01:27:49.000 --> 01:27:51.479 he's he buys into all of this for a minute 1836 01:27:51.520 --> 01:27:54.239 before we fucking go to deaf Con too. 1837 01:27:54.640 --> 01:27:58.359 I actually wonder if this just based on what I 1838 01:27:58.399 --> 01:28:01.920 know of their politics from their movies. If if the 1839 01:28:02.000 --> 01:28:05.760 fact of like the president being like an absentee president 1840 01:28:05.840 --> 01:28:07.800 with these idiots in charge is meant to just be 1841 01:28:07.840 --> 01:28:10.600 another hit on Ronald Reagan by thee. 1842 01:28:11.920 --> 01:28:14.720 And also the movie could just have not Ronald Reagan, right, Yeah, 1843 01:28:14.960 --> 01:28:16.359 it could cut to a guy in a white man 1844 01:28:16.359 --> 01:28:18.159 in the White House. But they the movie doesn't do 1845 01:28:18.239 --> 01:28:21.800 that because they show a photo of Ronald Reagan in 1846 01:28:22.159 --> 01:28:24.479 Berenger's office. I think there's a moment that show a 1847 01:28:24.479 --> 01:28:27.920 photo of and I'm like, okay, so we're in the 1848 01:28:27.960 --> 01:28:32.119 world were president. Yeah, it's not a cut to like 1849 01:28:32.239 --> 01:28:36.840 some actor. Bizarre, very bizarre. Meanwhile, back on Goose Island, 1850 01:28:36.920 --> 01:28:39.159 Falcon tells David and Jennifer that there was a time 1851 01:28:39.199 --> 01:28:42.199 when dinosaurs ruled the earth. He's showing them like like 1852 01:28:42.319 --> 01:28:45.880 stop motion, claiming it is Yeah, it's like a like 1853 01:28:45.920 --> 01:28:48.840 a film reel to teach people about dinosaurs, right, that's 1854 01:28:48.840 --> 01:28:52.479 his new obsession. So he starts waxing poetic about the dinosaurs, 1855 01:28:52.520 --> 01:28:55.520 and then he pauses and says until nature decided to 1856 01:28:55.560 --> 01:28:59.600 start again, and then he starts to get real fucking dark. 1857 01:29:00.159 --> 01:29:01.880 And he tells them that and byther itay with a 1858 01:29:02.000 --> 01:29:05.319 very cheerful, middle aged man smile on his face. He's 1859 01:29:05.399 --> 01:29:07.960 confident that when it's time for humans to no longer 1860 01:29:08.039 --> 01:29:11.079 rule the earth, nature will kick us off and like 1861 01:29:11.319 --> 01:29:15.199 start again, probably with bees. Next time. It's probably gonna 1862 01:29:15.199 --> 01:29:21.399 go dinosaurs. You know what eightes? Human beings? Bees is 1863 01:29:21.439 --> 01:29:23.359 the next is the next step? I'm like, I think 1864 01:29:23.359 --> 01:29:27.800 it's cockerroaches. But moving on, David gets very serious with 1865 01:29:27.840 --> 01:29:30.119 Falcon and says, if Joshua sets off a nuclear war, 1866 01:29:30.239 --> 01:29:34.479 it will be his fault. Falcon is unmoved, and he 1867 01:29:34.520 --> 01:29:37.119 says he could never get Joshua to learn the most 1868 01:29:37.119 --> 01:29:42.560 important lesson, which is futility, the futility of war. Jennifer 1869 01:29:42.640 --> 01:29:46.199 is like, huh what, just fucking stop the machine? 1870 01:29:46.199 --> 01:29:46.880 What's wrong with you? 1871 01:29:48.000 --> 01:29:50.159 And Falcon's like, do you play tic tac toe? And 1872 01:29:50.199 --> 01:29:52.920 she's like no, And he's like, why don't you play 1873 01:29:52.920 --> 01:29:55.840 tic tactoe? She goes because it's boring, there's always a tie, 1874 01:29:55.840 --> 01:29:57.800 there's never a winner, like I stopped playing it when 1875 01:29:57.840 --> 01:30:01.399 I was four. Falcon says, exactly, that game is pointless, 1876 01:30:01.399 --> 01:30:04.079 but the war room believes that there are winners in 1877 01:30:04.199 --> 01:30:07.640 nuclear war, so they keep trying to find out who wins. 1878 01:30:07.800 --> 01:30:09.960 Even though they don't, they do not realize that it 1879 01:30:10.000 --> 01:30:14.840 is also pointless. Yeah, movie gets very philosophical when some 1880 01:30:14.880 --> 01:30:16.159 real fucking shit is happening. 1881 01:30:16.319 --> 01:30:19.560 And john Wood is so good in this scene because 1882 01:30:19.600 --> 01:30:24.199 it's like he's giving this air of like your most 1883 01:30:24.239 --> 01:30:29.640 beloved college professor. Yeah, kind of gently telling you the 1884 01:30:29.760 --> 01:30:33.000 truth about something that's really hard to understand. And he's 1885 01:30:33.159 --> 01:30:36.239 teaching them. And the movie earlier says, like, after his 1886 01:30:36.319 --> 01:30:39.079 son died, like he changed, and like it's clear that 1887 01:30:39.159 --> 01:30:42.880 like he he lost the ability to like hope in 1888 01:30:42.960 --> 01:30:45.279 some way after his son and his wife died in 1889 01:30:45.319 --> 01:30:48.399 like that horrible car crash, right, And the movie really 1890 01:30:48.439 --> 01:30:51.560 like trusts john Wood and the audience to get all 1891 01:30:51.600 --> 01:30:54.960 of that because they never highlight it. They never like 1892 01:30:55.119 --> 01:30:58.880 lampshaded at all, which is I liked about it all. Right, 1893 01:30:59.039 --> 01:31:01.720 So if you thought it was dark before, buckle up, everyone, 1894 01:31:01.720 --> 01:31:03.760 get on and get on your night vision goggles. We're 1895 01:31:03.760 --> 01:31:08.279 about to go into that night. Falcon goes on to 1896 01:31:08.319 --> 01:31:10.640 say that extinction is part of the natural order, and 1897 01:31:10.720 --> 01:31:14.239 David's like that's crazy. Falcon says, no, don't worry, I've 1898 01:31:14.239 --> 01:31:17.279 thought ahead. We're only three miles from a main target. 1899 01:31:17.840 --> 01:31:20.119 All we'll see is a moment of bright white light 1900 01:31:20.359 --> 01:31:24.239 and then nothing. We'll be spared the horror of survival. 1901 01:31:24.800 --> 01:31:28.000 Who we're not gonna be in the Walking Debt, don't worry, 1902 01:31:28.079 --> 01:31:30.359 We're gonna be those people who died before that happens. 1903 01:31:30.479 --> 01:31:33.800 Jennifer says, if your son was still alive, you'd call Naurad, 1904 01:31:33.880 --> 01:31:36.840 you'd stop them from doing this, and Falcon says, well, yeah, 1905 01:31:36.840 --> 01:31:39.439 maybe that would buy us a few years, maybe enough 1906 01:31:39.479 --> 01:31:41.359 for you to have your own son that you could 1907 01:31:41.399 --> 01:31:44.039 watch die. But if there's one thing that humanity is 1908 01:31:44.079 --> 01:31:46.520 insisted on, it's planning our own destruction. 1909 01:31:47.039 --> 01:31:49.119 Okay, look, this movie does not age badly. 1910 01:31:49.520 --> 01:31:51.000 No, no, it does not. 1911 01:31:51.600 --> 01:31:54.920 Man, that is some dark ass shit. And then they 1912 01:31:54.960 --> 01:31:57.319 cut to late Matthew Broadwick and they're like, please say 1913 01:31:57.319 --> 01:32:01.560 something funny. It's like, make this okay. David asks what's 1914 01:32:01.600 --> 01:32:04.560 the last thing you cared about, and Falcon looks to 1915 01:32:04.560 --> 01:32:07.039 the side but doesn't answer. The horn of the Last 1916 01:32:07.039 --> 01:32:09.279 Fairy sounds and he offers to let them sleep on 1917 01:32:09.279 --> 01:32:12.000 the floor. He says good night. David and Jennifer are like, 1918 01:32:12.119 --> 01:32:14.680 fuck this noise, and they leave. They go in search 1919 01:32:14.720 --> 01:32:16.680 of a boat so they can get off this fucking island. 1920 01:32:17.159 --> 01:32:19.640 As they wander the beach, Jennifer proposes that they swim 1921 01:32:19.720 --> 01:32:22.479 for it and like it's three miles away and Jennifer. 1922 01:32:22.720 --> 01:32:24.000 Jennifer's like, I could do it. 1923 01:32:24.079 --> 01:32:24.720 I can do it. 1924 01:32:24.880 --> 01:32:28.399 I do aerobics. Yeah, And there's a bit here where 1925 01:32:28.479 --> 01:32:29.840 he's like, I don't want to do it and she's like, 1926 01:32:29.840 --> 01:32:31.439 come on, it's our only hope. I don't want to 1927 01:32:31.479 --> 01:32:33.079 do it, and then he finally admits to her that 1928 01:32:33.079 --> 01:32:36.479 he can't swim. There's all these like callbacks to older movie. 1929 01:32:36.479 --> 01:32:39.920 Have you ever seen Butch Cassidy and The Sun Dance Kid. No, Oh, 1930 01:32:39.960 --> 01:32:42.960 you're gonna love that movie. I highly recommend that. That's 1931 01:32:43.000 --> 01:32:46.840 a great movie. Very funny moment in that movie where 1932 01:32:46.880 --> 01:32:50.279 the punchline is I can't swim. There's no way that's 1933 01:32:50.319 --> 01:32:52.840 an accident. They're pulling that in for because it doesn't 1934 01:32:52.840 --> 01:32:55.039 go anywhere. It doesn't let really, I'm like, this is 1935 01:32:55.119 --> 01:32:59.439 just a Butch Cassidy moment. It's actually a Sun Dance 1936 01:32:59.520 --> 01:33:00.359 Kid moment. Anyway. 1937 01:33:00.680 --> 01:33:02.880 Anyway, he says he didn't he didn't know. 1938 01:33:02.840 --> 01:33:04.840 That this was coming. He's like, I always plan to 1939 01:33:04.920 --> 01:33:08.239 learn how to swim someday. But I thought I half time. 1940 01:33:08.279 --> 01:33:10.039 I didn't think the world was going to end by 1941 01:33:10.079 --> 01:33:12.800 the time he was seventeen, and starts to get really emotional, 1942 01:33:12.800 --> 01:33:15.439 and he's like, I thought I had time. I have time. 1943 01:33:15.520 --> 01:33:17.079 I want to learn how to swim. I want to 1944 01:33:17.079 --> 01:33:18.960 be able to be an adult. She tells him that 1945 01:33:19.000 --> 01:33:20.520 she was going to be on local TV and then 1946 01:33:20.520 --> 01:33:22.960 following week with her dance class. She's like, I'm going 1947 01:33:23.000 --> 01:33:25.600 to miss that now because I'll be dead, and the 1948 01:33:25.640 --> 01:33:28.239 two of them are like, like kind of commiserating over 1949 01:33:28.319 --> 01:33:30.680 how fucking horrible this is, and they kiss. 1950 01:33:31.079 --> 01:33:32.039 Now now. 1951 01:33:33.520 --> 01:33:35.960 Honestly, though, Jennifer, I see her point where she's like, 1952 01:33:36.000 --> 01:33:38.119 how many hours do we have left? I have a 1953 01:33:38.159 --> 01:33:41.199 couple of bucket items, like things I want. 1954 01:33:41.000 --> 01:33:43.800 To check dying a virgin, Yeah, thinking about nuclear the 1955 01:33:43.960 --> 01:33:45.920 global nuclear war, and get in me. 1956 01:33:46.439 --> 01:33:49.920 I will teach you how to swim after we fuck twice. 1957 01:33:50.720 --> 01:33:54.119 As they're kissing, a helicopter appears and they flee before 1958 01:33:54.119 --> 01:33:59.000 realizing that it's actually falcon Right. They've actually convinced him 1959 01:33:59.039 --> 01:34:02.000 to save the world. He take he's been turned around. 1960 01:34:02.239 --> 01:34:04.359 He picks him up and they take off for nor Ad. 1961 01:34:04.520 --> 01:34:07.119 We cut back to nor Ad. The computer reports that 1962 01:34:07.159 --> 01:34:11.199 the Soviets have launched missiles. Behreinger announces they're going to 1963 01:34:11.319 --> 01:34:18.279 def Con one, and Whopper recommends a full scale retaliatory strike. Meanwhile, 1964 01:34:18.439 --> 01:34:21.920 Russia is still claiming that they have launched nothing. All right, 1965 01:34:22.000 --> 01:34:26.159 now we've skipped something because we cut outside nor Ad. Jennifer, 1966 01:34:26.359 --> 01:34:30.479 David and Falcon are being driven by a soldier towards 1967 01:34:30.479 --> 01:34:32.760 the Norrad base, which is going into shutdown mode. They 1968 01:34:32.840 --> 01:34:35.720 only have a certain amount of time to get into 1969 01:34:35.760 --> 01:34:38.159 the base before it shut down, which means they have 1970 01:34:38.359 --> 01:34:42.920 contacted somebody to be like, hey, Falcon is coming. And 1971 01:34:42.960 --> 01:34:45.960 this is further backed up because McKittrick has an assistant 1972 01:34:45.960 --> 01:34:47.840 who's in. She's in throughout the movie. I cut her 1973 01:34:47.840 --> 01:34:50.119 out of the recap because she's she's not really plot 1974 01:34:50.159 --> 01:34:53.319 crucial to any point, but she's trying to slow everyone 1975 01:34:53.439 --> 01:34:55.720 down from shutting down the doors so they have time 1976 01:34:55.760 --> 01:35:00.279 to get in. They know he's coming, Just let him 1977 01:35:00.319 --> 01:35:02.960 get there. What is happening? 1978 01:35:03.359 --> 01:35:06.119 None of this is how anything works in any case. 1979 01:35:06.279 --> 01:35:09.399 They get in, they burst into the control room and 1980 01:35:09.479 --> 01:35:12.399 McKittrick immediately walks up to them and Falcon tells him, Look, 1981 01:35:12.439 --> 01:35:15.000 this is a bluff, and McKittrick is like, what are 1982 01:35:15.000 --> 01:35:17.119 you talking about. This is not a bluff. So Falcon 1983 01:35:17.199 --> 01:35:20.680 shouts to Behringer, look, this is a simulation. The computer 1984 01:35:21.159 --> 01:35:24.159 is doing this, and McKittrick consists that there is nothing 1985 01:35:24.199 --> 01:35:26.840 to indicate that. But Falcon walks up to Behringer and 1986 01:35:26.880 --> 01:35:30.920 he tells him, look, are you prepared to completely destroy 1987 01:35:30.960 --> 01:35:33.520 the enemy? And Behinger says yes. And he says, well, 1988 01:35:33.520 --> 01:35:36.199 don't you think they know that? They know that to 1989 01:35:36.279 --> 01:35:40.000 attack is to assure their own destruction. An unprovoked attack, 1990 01:35:40.079 --> 01:35:42.920 particularly one of the scale that the computer is saying 1991 01:35:43.000 --> 01:35:45.880 is happening, which is basically like all the nuclear armament 1992 01:35:45.920 --> 01:35:48.760 of Russia is descending upon America, is essentially what's happening. 1993 01:35:48.840 --> 01:35:52.319 The US is now suddenly completely surrounded by submarines. 1994 01:35:52.479 --> 01:35:54.039 Yeah, all of a sudden, it's like little. 1995 01:35:53.880 --> 01:35:56.119 Bleep bloops coming towards us from the sky and little 1996 01:35:56.159 --> 01:35:58.760 bleep bloops coming at us from the ocean. 1997 01:36:00.680 --> 01:36:04.439 So he says, an unprovoked attack makes no sense. Ride 1998 01:36:04.439 --> 01:36:08.079 it out, Do not respond with a scorched earth counter strike. 1999 01:36:08.159 --> 01:36:11.119 You don't need to. You are listening to a machine, 2000 01:36:11.760 --> 01:36:14.560 don't act like one. John Wood is so good. 2001 01:36:14.800 --> 01:36:17.600 Every actor in this movie is punching so hard above 2002 01:36:17.680 --> 01:36:19.760 the weight of the movie to make all of this work. 2003 01:36:19.880 --> 01:36:22.119 Barringer looks at him and he announces that they're going 2004 01:36:22.159 --> 01:36:25.680 to hold off on the retaliation, do not launch the 2005 01:36:25.720 --> 01:36:26.319 counter strike. 2006 01:36:26.680 --> 01:36:29.920 So the countdown to impact continues. There's a woman they 2007 01:36:30.000 --> 01:36:31.920 keep cutting to this one woman whose job it is 2008 01:36:31.960 --> 01:36:34.840 to do that, which is very funny to me. It's 2009 01:36:35.479 --> 01:36:38.479 like a human being who's like ten seconds to impact, 2010 01:36:39.640 --> 01:36:42.720 nine seconds to impact, Like what if she coughs and 2011 01:36:42.760 --> 01:36:48.640 then she's like seven six six sorry, five hour five? Fuck? Wait? 2012 01:36:48.640 --> 01:36:49.159 How what time? 2013 01:36:49.239 --> 01:36:49.479 Stat? 2014 01:36:49.560 --> 01:36:55.720 Three? Three seconds impact? They hit zero, nothing hits. No 2015 01:36:55.880 --> 01:36:59.600 Soviet missiles. All the guys who are sitting there shooting 2016 01:36:59.600 --> 01:37:00.239 their pants. 2017 01:37:00.239 --> 01:37:02.159 Get not a clean pair of underwear and that in 2018 01:37:02.159 --> 01:37:03.119 that control room. 2019 01:37:03.319 --> 01:37:06.399 Are like, hey, guys, we're alive. Nothing happened. Nothing happened 2020 01:37:06.399 --> 01:37:09.359 at this army base. We're fine. No impact, nothing in 2021 01:37:09.399 --> 01:37:12.239 the sky. We actually you skip something that is actually 2022 01:37:12.239 --> 01:37:15.439 crucial to this moment, Paul. Earlier in the film, it 2023 01:37:15.479 --> 01:37:18.000 looked like a bunch of missiles, the first set of missiles. 2024 01:37:18.039 --> 01:37:20.800 We're going to hit Alaska, right because it's the closest 2025 01:37:20.800 --> 01:37:24.000 to Russia, and so Barreger sends like a bunch of 2026 01:37:24.039 --> 01:37:27.319 like like F sixteen's out to go, like intercept the 2027 01:37:27.319 --> 01:37:31.119 missiles or whatever, and the fighters, the flyers are like 2028 01:37:31.119 --> 01:37:34.840 like Maverick and Goose out there. Yeah, are like, there's 2029 01:37:34.880 --> 01:37:37.439 nothing out here, sir, we don't see anything. And they're like, no, 2030 01:37:37.880 --> 01:37:40.840 I'm seeing it on the computer. There's missiles being launched 2031 01:37:40.920 --> 01:37:44.199 right at you. And they're like, sir, we don't see anything. 2032 01:37:44.680 --> 01:37:46.880 That is a crucial piece of information that should have 2033 01:37:46.880 --> 01:37:49.199 been used to connect the dots at this moment where 2034 01:37:49.199 --> 01:37:51.319 the guys should have been like, oh wait a minute, 2035 01:37:51.359 --> 01:37:55.319 this has actually happened. This happened ten minutes earlier in Alaska, 2036 01:37:55.359 --> 01:37:58.840 so maybe nothing's actually going to hit anywhere else. Yeah, 2037 01:37:58.880 --> 01:38:02.960 there's much rejoicing. Barringer finally realizes, Okay, everyone's correct, this 2038 01:38:03.079 --> 01:38:05.960 is just a simulation. He calls off all the bombers. 2039 01:38:06.000 --> 01:38:10.880 Everyone stand down, no missiles. We wildly overreacted to some 2040 01:38:10.960 --> 01:38:12.880 bleep bloops over here. We're very sorry. 2041 01:38:13.239 --> 01:38:18.199 Unfortunately, Joshua is still trying to win the game of 2042 01:38:18.279 --> 01:38:22.439 global thermonuclear war. It has locked them out of Whopper 2043 01:38:22.920 --> 01:38:25.439 and is trying to decipher the launch code so it 2044 01:38:25.479 --> 01:38:28.239 can launch the missiles and win the game. They determine 2045 01:38:28.279 --> 01:38:32.119 they have five minutes to stop it. Barringer, who now 2046 01:38:32.159 --> 01:38:33.640 is basically like, well, all I can do is bend 2047 01:38:33.680 --> 01:38:35.520 over and kiss my ass goodbye. She pulls out a 2048 01:38:35.520 --> 01:38:39.039 cigar and is like, Hey, McKittrick, I've come to the 2049 01:38:39.039 --> 01:38:41.319 conclusion that your new defense system sucks. 2050 01:38:44.840 --> 01:38:46.279 I really like this performance. 2051 01:38:46.399 --> 01:38:51.000 It's great. David, Jennifer and Falken frantically try to figure out. 2052 01:38:51.039 --> 01:38:54.800 Jennifer's contributing a lot how to get They're trying to 2053 01:38:54.840 --> 01:38:57.600 figure out how to get back into Whopper because the 2054 01:38:58.039 --> 01:39:00.640 military took out the back door pass codes, so Joshua's 2055 01:39:00.680 --> 01:39:02.680 not working anymore, and they need to figure out the 2056 01:39:02.720 --> 01:39:05.840 new passcode to get back into Whopper and to talk 2057 01:39:05.880 --> 01:39:09.640 to Joshua. Right, this whole scene is it's so John 2058 01:39:09.680 --> 01:39:12.640 Wood is so good in this movie. It it becomes 2059 01:39:12.760 --> 01:39:17.760 very clear that he starts to view David as a 2060 01:39:17.880 --> 01:39:21.640 sun figure. He starts to love David because David obviously 2061 01:39:21.720 --> 01:39:24.439 like you know, computer hacking and all that stuff, like 2062 01:39:24.520 --> 01:39:27.840 he's He's the next generation, right, and and it he 2063 01:39:27.880 --> 01:39:30.920 imbus like every look at Matthew Broderick with such like 2064 01:39:31.119 --> 01:39:36.600 love that you're somehow making this Bonker's plot like kind 2065 01:39:36.600 --> 01:39:38.920 of emotional for me, And it's really incredible. 2066 01:39:39.239 --> 01:39:42.479 It's true. I mean it. Also, Matthew Broderick is adorable. 2067 01:39:42.520 --> 01:39:47.119 Yeah, he looks like Bambie. So David remembers that Wopper 2068 01:39:47.199 --> 01:39:50.199 is built on games. So he starts trying chess as 2069 01:39:50.199 --> 01:39:54.000 a log on, and poker doesn't work, and then there's 2070 01:39:54.039 --> 01:39:55.880 a logic leap here. I'm not quite sure how he 2071 01:39:55.920 --> 01:39:59.000 makes it, but he says, like the game missing from 2072 01:39:59.039 --> 01:40:02.279 the list is tick tack toe, so that must be 2073 01:40:02.359 --> 01:40:06.319 the log on. Sure types in tic tac toe. This works. 2074 01:40:07.039 --> 01:40:09.520 He starts to play tic tac toe with Joshua, but 2075 01:40:09.600 --> 01:40:12.319 of course it always ends in a tie, and he 2076 01:40:12.439 --> 01:40:15.319 realizes he has to make it play itself so it 2077 01:40:15.399 --> 01:40:18.600 can learn. It can learn futility through tic tac toe. 2078 01:40:19.079 --> 01:40:21.800 So the Whopper starts running Tic Tactoe games against itself. 2079 01:40:22.119 --> 01:40:24.680 It's going into a loop just as it cracks the 2080 01:40:24.760 --> 01:40:26.920 launch codes. So now they're like, fuck, it has the 2081 01:40:27.000 --> 01:40:29.319 launch codes. It can launch the missiles at any moment. 2082 01:40:29.560 --> 01:40:34.439 Our resistance is futile unless it learns from tic tac toe. Right, 2083 01:40:35.319 --> 01:40:38.600 the computer suddenly like sparks and there sparks fire off it, 2084 01:40:38.680 --> 01:40:40.680 and then we see it. The screens come up and 2085 01:40:40.720 --> 01:40:45.000 it starts running simulation after simulation of the game Global 2086 01:40:45.039 --> 01:40:46.039 Thermonuclear War. 2087 01:40:46.560 --> 01:40:48.680 I didn't pause did you pause it all during this? 2088 01:40:49.079 --> 01:40:49.239 Oh? 2089 01:40:49.319 --> 01:40:54.199 To see the different so terrifying, like like it's like, oh, okay, 2090 01:40:54.239 --> 01:40:57.000 let's try an Asian attack. Oh okay, let's try this attack. 2091 01:40:57.119 --> 01:40:59.520 I'm like Jesus fucking Christ. And it goes to them 2092 01:40:59.560 --> 01:41:01.720 so fast that you realize these have all been like 2093 01:41:02.039 --> 01:41:05.399 pre programmed in, and I'm like, oh my god, this 2094 01:41:05.520 --> 01:41:06.359 is terrifying. 2095 01:41:07.079 --> 01:41:10.399 It learns that there is no way to win Global 2096 01:41:10.439 --> 01:41:14.079 Thermonuclear War. It takes the lesson of futility from Tic 2097 01:41:14.159 --> 01:41:19.279 tac toe and applies it to Global thermonucular War. All 2098 01:41:19.279 --> 01:41:22.600 the screens go blank, and then the computer greets Professor 2099 01:41:22.640 --> 01:41:26.439 Falcon and says, Global Thermonuclear War is a strange game. 2100 01:41:27.000 --> 01:41:30.960 The only winning move is not to play. Would you 2101 01:41:31.000 --> 01:41:32.119 like a nice game of chess? 2102 01:41:34.000 --> 01:41:36.680 There's so many other ways to learn futility though, Yeah, 2103 01:41:37.039 --> 01:41:38.800 we didn't have to get it to play Tic tac toe. 2104 01:41:38.880 --> 01:41:40.840 Yeah, yeah, try to get John Travolta to come out 2105 01:41:40.840 --> 01:41:41.000 of the. 2106 01:41:40.960 --> 01:41:46.640 Closet, try to lose ten pounds after the holidays. Like, 2107 01:41:46.680 --> 01:41:50.520 it's just futile. You tell the computer to try try January. 2108 01:41:50.520 --> 01:41:54.079 It's never gonna work. Yeah, yeah, Thank god David was 2109 01:41:54.119 --> 01:41:58.119 playing as the Russians, right, because if David started playing 2110 01:41:58.159 --> 01:42:03.640 as the US, this would have gone oh badly. Okay, 2111 01:42:03.680 --> 01:42:06.159 So the computer is decided the game is unwinnable. It 2112 01:42:06.239 --> 01:42:13.239 stops playing simulations over everyone is rejoicing. McKittrick shakes Falcon's hand, ruffles, 2113 01:42:13.560 --> 01:42:15.039 he ruffles David's hair. 2114 01:42:15.439 --> 01:42:17.319 Yeah, weird, weird. 2115 01:42:18.840 --> 01:42:23.079 David ruffles his hair back and then kisses Jennifer as 2116 01:42:23.199 --> 01:42:27.760 Barringer takes Norad back up to Deafcon five, moving it 2117 01:42:27.840 --> 01:42:28.560 roll back up. 2118 01:42:28.800 --> 01:42:29.520 Yeah. 2119 01:42:29.840 --> 01:42:32.439 End of movie, Sweet Dreams. 2120 01:42:32.479 --> 01:42:39.000 Everybody, all right, stick around, We're gonna come right back 2121 01:42:39.000 --> 01:42:42.840 with our random observations and final rankings for war games, 2122 01:42:51.720 --> 01:42:55.079 and we're back Erica. Do you have any last last 2123 01:42:55.079 --> 01:42:57.600 bloops you'd like to bleep about wargames? 2124 01:42:57.760 --> 01:43:00.359 Speaking of bleep bloops, did you notice the eyes of 2125 01:43:00.399 --> 01:43:03.920 the floppy disc? Oh my god, Roderick loads into his 2126 01:43:04.680 --> 01:43:09.560 he needs two hands fucking pizza carton. I was like, 2127 01:43:09.800 --> 01:43:12.800 what the fuck? We're flopping disc to nineteen eighty three. 2128 01:43:13.079 --> 01:43:15.600 It's the size of like a pancake that I hop 2129 01:43:15.680 --> 01:43:19.359 cells is like a giant pancakes, so big. 2130 01:43:22.039 --> 01:43:24.600 There you go, Why is it's so big? Some of 2131 01:43:24.640 --> 01:43:28.199 the like technology in the movie, actually there's I'm we're 2132 01:43:28.199 --> 01:43:31.159 a little too old for this, but also some of 2133 01:43:31.199 --> 01:43:34.880 it still does kind of resonate, Like the drive for 2134 01:43:34.920 --> 01:43:37.279 the floppy disk still kind of looked like the ones 2135 01:43:37.279 --> 01:43:38.920 we used when we were a little bit older, but 2136 01:43:39.000 --> 01:43:40.720 like just smaller.

We're a little too 2139 01:43:43.920 --> 01:43:45.880 young for some of the technology in the movie, but 2140 01:43:45.920 --> 01:43:50.279 some of it resonates. Oh yeah, we're so dewey dewey eyed. 2141 01:43:50.439 --> 01:43:52.720 I just assume I'm old all the time. You're right, 2142 01:43:52.760 --> 01:43:54.159 but I meant to say we're too young. 2143 01:43:56.640 --> 01:43:58.880 There. Jennifer has a line at the end when they're 2144 01:43:58.880 --> 01:44:01.600 trying to figure out it's the final the final thing. 2145 01:44:01.600 --> 01:44:03.560 They're trying to figure out the tic Tactoe thing.

And he goes, trajectory trajectory heading. 2161 01:44:54.680 --> 01:44:58.199 I missed that one tragic tory is what she says. 2162 01:44:58.359 --> 01:45:04.000 She is seventeen, She's not six, She is seventeen, and 2163 01:45:04.119 --> 01:45:07.239 she does not know how to read the word trajectory. 2164 01:45:08.279 --> 01:45:10.560 She's like Sean Connery on Celebrity Jeopardy on. 2165 01:45:10.640 --> 01:45:14.159 Us it el, what is a tragictory heading and he goes, 2166 01:45:14.199 --> 01:45:16.399 it's a trajectory heading where the bombs are gonna hit. 2167 01:45:17.359 --> 01:45:19.119 And he says it in such a way where he 2168 01:45:19.159 --> 01:45:22.079 thinks she should well you're the fact that you're too 2169 01:45:22.119 --> 01:45:25.640 dumb to live is actually pretty charming, and I'm like, no, girl, 2170 01:45:25.760 --> 01:45:28.680 go back to school.

But the other thing that accompanies is 2174 01:45:37.960 --> 01:45:39.760 the score that we didn't talk about is the title 2175 01:45:39.800 --> 01:45:43.920 font used in this in this movie, which I cannot 2176 01:45:44.039 --> 01:45:48.479 express to everyone enough is the bricks from Super Mario 2177 01:45:48.520 --> 01:45:55.079 Brothers spelling out words. It looks like you're suddenly in 2178 01:45:55.159 --> 01:45:58.840 like like what's a military comedy like Stripes or Major 2179 01:45:58.960 --> 01:46:03.800 Dad or something like that. It's so incongruous. 2180 01:46:04.439 --> 01:46:07.000 Was that cutting edge technology in nineteen eighty three though? 2181 01:46:07.039 --> 01:46:08.520 Was that like the coolest they could make it? 2182 01:46:09.399 --> 01:46:12.399 Maybe? Like, but when we were kids playing Super Mario 2183 01:46:12.560 --> 01:46:13.359 that looked cool. 2184 01:46:13.840 --> 01:46:16.199 Something about nineteen eighty three that is a positive though, 2185 01:46:16.840 --> 01:46:20.159 is cigarettes were seven dollars a curtain at seven eleven. 2186 01:46:20.319 --> 01:46:20.840 Oh damn. 2187 01:46:20.880 --> 01:46:22.880 I love when people are in like a real seven 2188 01:46:22.920 --> 01:46:25.600 eleven or a real like store in a movie because 2189 01:46:25.600 --> 01:46:27.399 I like pause and I start to look at the 2190 01:46:27.439 --> 01:46:29.600 prices of everything.

Did you notice David has a dog. The dog 2202 01:46:56.079 --> 01:46:58.800 runs up to greet David and Jennifer when they first arrive. 2203 01:46:59.319 --> 01:47:03.119 There's barking, but the dog's mouth ain't moving, just like 2204 01:47:03.199 --> 01:47:06.039 in just like in that Jean Wilder Gilda Radner movie 2205 01:47:06.560 --> 01:47:09.479 Hunted Honeymoon does bark, bark, bark? That dog's not barking. 2206 01:47:12.640 --> 01:47:13.600 That's hilarious. 2207 01:47:14.399 --> 01:47:17.119 There is a scene okay, actually okay. For as clinically 2208 01:47:17.199 --> 01:47:20.279 stupid as Jennifer is, there is good female representation in 2209 01:47:20.319 --> 01:47:22.479 the film, although for the life of me right now, 2210 01:47:22.479 --> 01:47:24.840 I cannot remember the character's name where the actress's name, 2211 01:47:25.159 --> 01:47:28.920 So it's not great female representation. It's Dadney Coleman's assistant. 2212 01:47:29.239 --> 01:47:31.520 Oh, I don't know what her I think she's just 2213 01:47:31.560 --> 01:47:35.880 missed something. But the actress's name is Juanine Clay okay iguana, 2214 01:47:36.000 --> 01:47:37.600 but I n at the end rather than a. 2215 01:47:37.840 --> 01:47:42.239 She's wonderful the whole throughout the film. She is his assistant, 2216 01:47:42.520 --> 01:47:45.159 but she knows a lot, right, Like he knows how 2217 01:47:45.399 --> 01:47:48.359 how this the computer system works. She understands Wopper better 2218 01:47:48.399 --> 01:47:50.840 than any of the military people. She starts to help 2219 01:47:50.880 --> 01:47:53.680 de escalate the situation. At the end she's helping figure 2220 01:47:53.680 --> 01:47:56.199 out how to like stop it from getting the launch code. 2221 01:47:56.239 --> 01:47:58.199 So she's really savvy with everything. 2222 01:47:58.279 --> 01:48:00.079 So yeah, very competent, more than. 2223 01:48:00.119 --> 01:48:02.720 Your typical like I'll get you coffee assistant. 2224 01:48:02.800 --> 01:48:02.960 Right. 2225 01:48:03.199 --> 01:48:08.680 There is a weird dynamic I do her and McKittrick 2226 01:48:08.840 --> 01:48:12.199 that I could not figure out. I'm like, are they married? 2227 01:48:12.960 --> 01:48:15.520 Is that the thing? Are they actually like a married 2228 01:48:15.560 --> 01:48:18.279 couple who also work together, or is the idea that 2229 01:48:18.279 --> 01:48:20.560 they've worked together so closely for so long that they 2230 01:48:20.640 --> 01:48:23.159 kind of interact with each other like an old married couple. 2231 01:48:23.520 --> 01:48:26.600 Because there is a moment in the film when he 2232 01:48:26.720 --> 01:48:29.359 has to go like make a presentation and she's helping 2233 01:48:29.439 --> 01:48:32.600 him like straighten his tie and stuff. Again, all very 2234 01:48:32.720 --> 01:48:35.439 like I am a I've worked as an assistant. I 2235 01:48:35.479 --> 01:48:38.439 have never straightened anyone's tie, Like that's your jobs are 2236 01:48:38.680 --> 01:48:41.359 straighten your own goddamn tie. Like she's training his tie, 2237 01:48:41.399 --> 01:48:43.560 she's helping him clean up. And then she holds out 2238 01:48:43.600 --> 01:48:45.800 her hand and he spits his chewing gum in her hand, 2239 01:48:46.840 --> 01:48:48.239 and she's like, all right, you're ready to go. Go 2240 01:48:48.359 --> 01:48:50.600 and he heads off to his meeting. She takes the 2241 01:48:50.680 --> 01:48:54.479 chewing gum, the pre chewed chewing gum, puts pops it 2242 01:48:54.560 --> 01:48:57.319 in her mouth. Yeah, walks away. They didn't have to 2243 01:48:57.359 --> 01:48:59.439 put that in the movie. There was absolutely no need 2244 01:48:59.479 --> 01:49:01.960 to put that in. It doesn't make any fucking sense. 2245 01:49:03.439 --> 01:49:06.560 Who are these two people to each other? Who does 2246 01:49:06.680 --> 01:49:09.880 that pre chewed gum? Even if it's been in someone's 2247 01:49:09.880 --> 01:49:13.159 mouth for four seconds? Ye, done, It's done. The gum 2248 01:49:13.279 --> 01:49:17.199 is finished. There's no everlasting gob stopper at this moment 2249 01:49:17.239 --> 01:49:19.479 in time that will make it okay to put that 2250 01:49:19.520 --> 01:49:23.000 in your mouth. It is going to taste like spit all. 2251 01:49:23.079 --> 01:49:25.640 It's gonna taste like I'm gonna I want to escalate 2252 01:49:25.640 --> 01:49:28.760 this just slightly because she hasn't. She has her hand 2253 01:49:28.800 --> 01:49:30.840 out and he says, here, take this, and puts a 2254 01:49:30.920 --> 01:49:33.479 gum in her head. So it's not even like I 2255 01:49:33.479 --> 01:49:36.119 don't even know she was expecting the gum. I don't. 2256 01:49:36.119 --> 01:49:38.399 I don't know what the dynamic is supposed to be. 2257 01:49:38.479 --> 01:49:40.159 There is this like. 2258 01:49:40.119 --> 01:49:41.640 A BDSM situation. 2259 01:49:42.039 --> 01:49:48.119 I know it's very odd, but it's it's funny. It's 2260 01:49:47.640 --> 01:49:50.520 it's funny, like she does it in a way that's funny. 2261 01:49:50.760 --> 01:49:52.840 Well, honestly the way you just said it, because I'm 2262 01:49:52.880 --> 01:49:55.199 remembering it wrong. I'm remembering it as her being like, 2263 01:49:55.239 --> 01:49:57.800 to give me your gum. But if he's the one giving, 2264 01:49:57.880 --> 01:50:00.279 if he's like, she's not planning on it. He's like, here, 2265 01:50:00.279 --> 01:50:02.159 take this, and he hands with her gum. Maybe she's 2266 01:50:02.159 --> 01:50:04.880 making lemonade out of lemons. Sure, he's like, yeah, my 2267 01:50:04.920 --> 01:50:07.000 boss did just put his gross gum in my hand. 2268 01:50:07.600 --> 01:50:10.079 But I'm a chewett. I'm gonna I'm gonna get some 2269 01:50:10.119 --> 01:50:12.399 calories out of this to keep going with my day. 2270 01:50:12.479 --> 01:50:12.960 I don't know. 2271 01:50:13.399 --> 01:50:14.760 Yeah, who knows? Who knows? 2272 01:50:14.800 --> 01:50:18.239 Goddamn weird. There's just too many moments like that in 2273 01:50:18.279 --> 01:50:20.760 this movie where I'm like, what is happening? 2274 01:50:21.039 --> 01:50:23.840 Yeah? I feel like they're trying to inject comedy into 2275 01:50:23.840 --> 01:50:27.479 a very dark thing, and like it's dark because of 2276 01:50:27.520 --> 01:50:30.439 her and also Dabney Coleman, because again you see Dabney Coleman, 2277 01:50:30.520 --> 01:50:32.279 like that's the bad boss from nine to five, Like 2278 01:50:32.279 --> 01:50:36.000 that's I presume what most people first think of when 2279 01:50:36.039 --> 01:50:38.760 they see him, and like it's such a Dabney Coleman thing, 2280 01:50:38.800 --> 01:50:40.079 Like did he come up with that? It was like, hey, 2281 01:50:40.119 --> 01:50:41.319 let's do this, this will be funny. 2282 01:50:42.079 --> 01:50:44.920 Oh possibly, that's always an improv moment and the actress 2283 01:50:45.000 --> 01:50:46.760 was like, I'm gonna guess and the shit out of 2284 01:50:46.760 --> 01:50:49.880 this and pop it in my mouth. Maybe it could 2285 01:50:49.880 --> 01:50:51.039 have stayed on the cutting room floor. 2286 01:50:51.039 --> 01:50:55.960 Though, while we're on the topic of female NORAD employees, 2287 01:50:56.119 --> 01:50:58.000 I do want to talk a little bit more about 2288 01:50:58.039 --> 01:51:01.079 we kind of glossed over the sexual harassment moment of 2289 01:51:01.439 --> 01:51:04.640 Sodom Hussein and the woman who is sitting outside the infirmary. 2290 01:51:04.640 --> 01:51:06.760 I presume some sort of medical professional if she's sitting 2291 01:51:06.760 --> 01:51:07.640 outside the infirmary. 2292 01:51:07.920 --> 01:51:11.079 You mean Sodom Hussein, the military man dressed like a 2293 01:51:11.119 --> 01:51:12.319 Belgian bakery owner. 2294 01:51:12.520 --> 01:51:15.520 Ye, the guy that's dressed like the Disney prince who 2295 01:51:15.560 --> 01:51:17.239 doesn't get the princess at the end of the movie. 2296 01:51:17.359 --> 01:51:21.319 Yeahhh yeah, the guy who's seconds away from initiating a 2297 01:51:21.399 --> 01:51:22.399 duel with his glove. 2298 01:51:22.600 --> 01:51:30.199 Yeah, yes, that guy. So he puts David in the 2299 01:51:30.239 --> 01:51:32.760 infirmary and walks out. We stay with him for a 2300 01:51:32.800 --> 01:51:35.159 minute and he walks over to the woman at the 2301 01:51:35.199 --> 01:51:38.960 desk and she's not immediately put off. That happens like 2302 01:51:39.039 --> 01:51:42.359 later in the scene. You hear that more than see him. 2303 01:51:42.359 --> 01:51:43.720 He's like, oh, you want me to leave.

So the movie thought enough ahead to know 2346 01:54:01.840 --> 01:54:04.520 that people in the audience are gonna be like, well, 2347 01:54:04.560 --> 01:54:07.680 they could just unplug the machine. He's like, that's not 2348 01:54:07.720 --> 01:54:10.319 gonna work. You have any other bright ideas? And then 2349 01:54:10.760 --> 01:54:14.399 best line in the movie, Barridger looks at Mikitchen and goes, 2350 01:54:14.479 --> 01:54:16.520 I'd piss on a spark plug if I thought I'd 2351 01:54:16.520 --> 01:54:21.479 do any good well done, never changeinger. 2352 01:54:21.680 --> 01:54:24.039 With the amount of urine that's flowing in that thing, 2353 01:54:24.119 --> 01:54:25.800 maybe that maybe that is the best thing to do. 2354 01:54:25.840 --> 01:54:29.920 Just everyone start pissing on the computer.

I'm gonna google it. I will find it. 2377 01:55:39.640 --> 01:55:42.600 There's some bird right now in Africa that looks exactly 2378 01:55:42.640 --> 01:55:43.520 like a pterodactyl. 2379 01:55:43.640 --> 01:55:45.760 The we're just looking fucking two. Can you've ever seen? 2380 01:55:47.399 --> 01:55:49.479 How about one to ten bleep bloops. 2381 01:55:49.079 --> 01:55:52.560 Bloop, bleep bloop. We should do this one. 2382 01:55:55.119 --> 01:55:58.119 Has been boops, We've done, has had has had a 2383 01:55:58.159 --> 01:55:59.079 moment of bleep bloop? 2384 01:55:59.439 --> 01:56:01.039 Do you want to go? Shall I go first? 2385 01:56:01.239 --> 01:56:02.840 Why don't you bleep bloop this one first? 2386 01:56:02.840 --> 01:56:05.640 All right? Okay, so there's no gay representation in this movie. 2387 01:56:05.640 --> 01:56:07.279 That's fine. We don't even need to say anything else 2388 01:56:07.319 --> 01:56:10.319 about it. There's nothing. I mean, Joshua was obviously queer, 2389 01:56:10.319 --> 01:56:13.159 but I think that goes without saying there is something 2390 01:56:13.359 --> 01:56:17.680 specifically gay about a man or a computer named Joshua 2391 01:56:17.720 --> 01:56:19.880 that refuses to stop playing the game until it's done. 2392 01:56:19.920 --> 01:56:21.760 Like that that I've been at those game nights with 2393 01:56:21.800 --> 01:56:27.960 those people. A female representation, it's mostly a sausage fest. 2394 01:56:28.359 --> 01:56:31.199 Mckittrick's assistant is whose name I can't remember. 2395 01:56:31.399 --> 01:56:34.319 I'm googling it right now because it's bothering me that 2396 01:56:34.479 --> 01:56:37.520 she's the only other really major female role in the movie, 2397 01:56:37.560 --> 01:56:39.399 and I cannot remember this poor woman's name. 2398 01:56:39.680 --> 01:56:41.239 But the fact that neither of us can remember it 2399 01:56:41.279 --> 01:56:44.000 also speaks to how major of a role it actually is. 2400 01:56:44.359 --> 01:56:49.039 Hat Healey hat Heally played by Juan in Clay. 2401 01:56:49.479 --> 01:56:53.920 So that's not great. I would have loved, at least 2402 01:56:54.000 --> 01:56:58.600 if if Jennifer could have had something that she did 2403 01:56:58.680 --> 01:57:04.960 in the movie that actually made her participation necessary, which 2404 01:57:05.319 --> 01:57:07.239 I do think the movie set itself up for with 2405 01:57:07.399 --> 01:57:09.439 like that, that her being like the moral one, and 2406 01:57:09.640 --> 01:57:11.399 like what if she was the one who was able 2407 01:57:11.439 --> 01:57:14.439 to argue Falkan into actually coming back to help like that, 2408 01:57:14.439 --> 01:57:17.119 that would have been the thing that David couldn't do that. 2409 01:57:17.159 --> 01:57:20.720 He needed Jennifer for you're giving her quite a tragictory. 2410 01:57:23.760 --> 01:57:27.119 I love a character on a tragictory. I love a 2411 01:57:27.199 --> 01:57:31.680 character on a promontory. I love a character on a tragictory. Okay, 2412 01:57:32.079 --> 01:57:35.239 racial diversity, so this one's is a little more interesting 2413 01:57:35.359 --> 01:57:37.119 than you might think. Even what we've talked about. There 2414 01:57:37.159 --> 01:57:39.680 are no major characters of color, but the movie is 2415 01:57:40.319 --> 01:57:43.840 populated with people of color throughout the whole thing. Like 2416 01:57:43.880 --> 01:57:47.560 the guy that plays Sandra Bullock's boss and best friend 2417 01:57:47.600 --> 01:57:49.560 and While you Were Sleeping is in this movie. He 2418 01:57:49.560 --> 01:57:50.920 has like five lines. 2419 01:57:51.239 --> 01:57:52.840 Oh yeah, he's the military guys. 2420 01:57:52.920 --> 01:57:55.199 Yeah. The woman who does the countdown is a black woman. 2421 01:57:55.399 --> 01:57:58.680 The woman who they play that horrible prank on who's 2422 01:57:58.760 --> 01:58:00.279 part of the tour group where they're like, why do 2423 01:58:00.319 --> 01:58:03.119 you press that button? And she's like, ah, yeah, she's 2424 01:58:03.119 --> 01:58:05.760 a woman of color. Like, So, because this is nineteen 2425 01:58:05.800 --> 01:58:07.840 eighty three, I don't want to award too many points 2426 01:58:07.840 --> 01:58:11.520 for that, but like, it does feel like this movie 2427 01:58:11.640 --> 01:58:14.079 very could have easily been a sea of white faces 2428 01:58:14.239 --> 01:58:15.239 and it isn't. 2429 01:58:15.920 --> 01:58:16.520 That's fair. 2430 01:58:16.640 --> 01:58:18.880 I've seen enough movies from the early eighties now where 2431 01:58:18.880 --> 01:58:20.800 it makes me feel like someone at least was like, 2432 01:58:20.920 --> 01:58:23.359 we have no black people anywhere in this film. Can 2433 01:58:23.399 --> 01:58:26.680 we just get some hiresome day players to come in 2434 01:58:26.720 --> 01:58:30.319 and do this? Like and which is it some? It's something. 2435 01:58:30.439 --> 01:58:32.279 It's not everything, but it's something, right. 2436 01:58:32.359 --> 01:58:32.960 Yeah. 2437 01:58:33.159 --> 01:58:38.640 Outside of that, we age horribly and the movie has 2438 01:58:39.359 --> 01:58:43.479 only become more upsetting, terrifying. 2439 01:58:43.399 --> 01:58:46.079 Terrifying my stomach talking about it, honestly. 2440 01:58:46.520 --> 01:58:48.880 But that's not the movie's fault. That's that's the movie 2441 01:58:48.920 --> 01:58:51.159 doing its job right. That's that's what that's the story 2442 01:58:51.159 --> 01:58:53.960 they set out to tell. And I really think that 2443 01:58:54.079 --> 01:58:59.840 John Wood performance is excellent, like like really next level. 2444 01:59:00.239 --> 01:59:01.960 Like I think everyone in the movie is good, but 2445 01:59:02.000 --> 01:59:04.880 like he's he's a whole new level. All the weight 2446 01:59:05.119 --> 01:59:09.359 of the philosophy and the life lessons, it's all on 2447 01:59:09.479 --> 01:59:13.800 him to do what essentially amounts to like three scenes basically, 2448 01:59:13.840 --> 01:59:14.479 and he does it. 2449 01:59:14.800 --> 01:59:17.279 And he has to turn on a dime too, because 2450 01:59:17.279 --> 01:59:20.279 he goes from being totally nihilistic it's being totally like 2451 01:59:20.640 --> 01:59:21.119 bought in. 2452 01:59:21.399 --> 01:59:26.319 Yeah. So I'm going to rate this relatively high despite 2453 01:59:26.319 --> 01:59:28.000 it kind of falling down. I think on some of 2454 01:59:28.000 --> 01:59:31.039 our the major things that we talk about, like Jennifer 2455 01:59:31.079 --> 01:59:32.199 is in a lot of the movie, but I want 2456 01:59:32.239 --> 01:59:37.479 to call her like amazing female representation. I'm gonna give 2457 01:59:37.520 --> 01:59:40.319 it you know what, I'm gonna give it a seven. 2458 01:59:40.439 --> 01:59:43.199 I'm gonna give it a seven because despite the ways 2459 01:59:43.199 --> 01:59:46.239 that it doesn't age well, there's ways that it does 2460 01:59:46.319 --> 01:59:49.000 age well that I think balance that out, which sometimes 2461 01:59:49.000 --> 01:59:51.279 we don't have. Like sometimes we have these things where 2462 01:59:51.279 --> 01:59:53.359 like there's even if it's just like sins of omission 2463 01:59:53.439 --> 01:59:57.039 or something, then the movie also is a bit of fluff, 2464 01:59:57.079 --> 01:59:59.039 which I love. I love a bit of fluff movie too, 2465 01:59:59.119 --> 02:00:01.880 But you're like, well, there's nothing, there's no ballast on 2466 02:00:01.920 --> 02:00:05.119 this to like balance this out, Whereas this movie has 2467 02:00:05.199 --> 02:00:10.239 a real point, and it's a point that ages beautifully. 2468 02:00:10.279 --> 02:00:11.960 So I'm going to give it a seven out of ten. 2469 02:00:11.960 --> 02:00:15.319 Bleep loops for war games? What do you think? 2470 02:00:15.439 --> 02:00:17.760 You know? Thing? One reason I think at Ages really 2471 02:00:17.800 --> 02:00:21.159 really well is because it's meant for teenage boys to watch. Sure, 2472 02:00:21.840 --> 02:00:24.079 this is not meant for an audience of adults. This 2473 02:00:24.119 --> 02:00:26.239 is meant for an audience of children because it's the 2474 02:00:26.319 --> 02:00:29.520 main character is a teenage boy and the protagonist is 2475 02:00:29.520 --> 02:00:32.319 like a computer hacker, you know, And so it was 2476 02:00:32.399 --> 02:00:35.920 meant for like fourteen year olds to watch in nineteen 2477 02:00:35.960 --> 02:00:38.960 eighty three, and I think the messaging then gets even 2478 02:00:39.119 --> 02:00:44.119 more important and it's educational in like a really good way. 2479 02:00:44.359 --> 02:00:46.239 I always complain when you do those movies that are 2480 02:00:46.239 --> 02:00:48.880 meant for children that they're the messaging is fucking horrible 2481 02:00:48.880 --> 02:00:51.720 because the audience is children and not adults. This movie 2482 02:00:51.720 --> 02:00:54.600 gets it right because the audience it is adults too, 2483 02:00:54.920 --> 02:00:57.439 but it's it's meant for kids to watch. This is 2484 02:00:57.479 --> 02:01:01.880 meant for teenage boys. I think specifically to I like 2485 02:01:01.920 --> 02:01:04.079 that it gets dark, like I do. I actually like 2486 02:01:04.199 --> 02:01:06.359 that it gets dark, that it like it goes there 2487 02:01:06.359 --> 02:01:09.800 and it explains the ramifications of war, and it explains 2488 02:01:09.880 --> 02:01:14.239 the like you can't not care, you have to care, right. 2489 02:01:15.680 --> 02:01:17.359 That is all kind of beautiful. So I think it 2490 02:01:17.439 --> 02:01:20.600 ages really really well in that regard. To me, where 2491 02:01:20.640 --> 02:01:23.359 it really falls down on is the female representation, because 2492 02:01:23.359 --> 02:01:26.039 it's it doesn't pass the Bechtel test. It's got three 2493 02:01:26.079 --> 02:01:28.119 women in it if you include his mom, who has 2494 02:01:28.680 --> 02:01:32.119 one line, and then you have Jennifer, who's this if 2495 02:01:32.119 --> 02:01:36.159 she were not played by Ali, sheety being like like 2496 02:01:36.560 --> 02:01:39.039 a light in in the middle of the movie. If 2497 02:01:39.079 --> 02:01:43.239 she was played by a more dull actress. I would 2498 02:01:43.439 --> 02:01:47.239 hate this role. Like Ali, she's doing a lot of 2499 02:01:47.279 --> 02:01:50.840 work to make this like really watchable. And then you 2500 02:01:50.880 --> 02:01:56.439 have miss Healy Pat Healy, who is great and wonderful, 2501 02:01:56.479 --> 02:01:58.560 but like like you said, she's a small part and 2502 02:01:58.640 --> 02:02:01.439 like she's easily forget. She's so forgettable. And I watched 2503 02:02:01.439 --> 02:02:03.840 this movie yesterday could not remember her name. I cut 2504 02:02:04.239 --> 02:02:07.840 recap yeah, yeah, and so like it. It really falls 2505 02:02:07.840 --> 02:02:11.319 down in that regard. And again, I know the target 2506 02:02:11.399 --> 02:02:15.279 audience was probably teenage boys, so they're gonna put like 2507 02:02:15.319 --> 02:02:17.840 a cute girl in there, and then like a lady 2508 02:02:17.880 --> 02:02:21.199 at the at the a lady at Norrad who sort 2509 02:02:21.239 --> 02:02:23.399 of acts like a surrogate wife to the guy who's 2510 02:02:23.439 --> 02:02:26.760 head of nor Ad. That's not great. And those all 2511 02:02:26.800 --> 02:02:30.399 seem like unconscious choices that the writers made, Like I 2512 02:02:30.439 --> 02:02:33.800 don't think they meant to do any of that. They did, right, 2513 02:02:33.880 --> 02:02:35.560 So every woman in the movie is kind of like 2514 02:02:35.600 --> 02:02:38.560 a mom figure almost except for Jennifer, who's just this 2515 02:02:38.760 --> 02:02:42.479 like that bid girlfriend figure. So that's not great. That's 2516 02:02:42.640 --> 02:02:44.800 that sucks for girls who are fourteen who had to 2517 02:02:44.800 --> 02:02:48.000 watch this movie and didn't get to see themselves on screen. 2518 02:02:50.000 --> 02:02:53.399 But like I said before, like everything else about the 2519 02:02:53.439 --> 02:02:58.239 movie ages so well and the messaging is so good, 2520 02:02:58.479 --> 02:03:00.359 I'm going to stick with you on this. I'm gonna 2521 02:03:00.359 --> 02:03:02.239 give it a seven. Okay, we're gonna give it a 2522 02:03:02.279 --> 02:03:04.840 seven out of ten bleep loops. And also, I'm not 2523 02:03:04.840 --> 02:03:07.560 gonna give a palette cleanser because this is not my genre. 2524 02:03:07.600 --> 02:03:09.319 I've talked about this in the other films we've talked 2525 02:03:09.359 --> 02:03:11.680 about this month, where I don't have much of a 2526 02:03:11.720 --> 02:03:14.560 poll to be like, the only thing I could say 2527 02:03:14.600 --> 02:03:17.520 is that if this is not your genre of film 2528 02:03:17.800 --> 02:03:22.119 they have, they are so clearly taking from Doctor Strangelove 2529 02:03:22.720 --> 02:03:25.439 in this movie, like it is very clearly, and so 2530 02:03:25.600 --> 02:03:27.279 I would I would suggest if you're kind of into 2531 02:03:27.279 --> 02:03:31.159 classic movies and you've missed Doctor Strangelove, it's I think 2532 02:03:31.199 --> 02:03:36.039 Kubrick's funniest movie, which is not a hard Bart, not 2533 02:03:36.119 --> 02:03:38.960 a hard Bard to clear, funnier than than Eyes Wide Shut, 2534 02:03:38.960 --> 02:03:41.159 I'll tell you that. But yeah, I think Doctor Strangelove 2535 02:03:41.199 --> 02:03:44.119 would be a really good, like other film to watch 2536 02:03:44.119 --> 02:03:47.399 along with with this one. So yeah, how about you, Paul. 2537 02:03:47.720 --> 02:03:49.239 I wasn't going to offer a palate cleanser. I think 2538 02:03:49.279 --> 02:03:50.760 this is a good movie. I think it is it's 2539 02:03:50.800 --> 02:03:52.680 it's it's and it has a point and it makes 2540 02:03:52.720 --> 02:03:55.720 its point well. And I admit I was a little 2541 02:03:56.319 --> 02:03:59.960 concerned until John Wood arrived because I was like, I've 2542 02:04:00.119 --> 02:04:03.439 wasn't sure where the plane was landing until suddenly he 2543 02:04:03.920 --> 02:04:06.600 arrived and was like right here, and I was like, okay, 2544 02:04:06.840 --> 02:04:10.560 we are good here. Like I think, like, these are 2545 02:04:10.560 --> 02:04:14.520 the same writers that did Sneakers, and I think it 2546 02:04:14.680 --> 02:04:19.399 feels to me like watching younger writers learning watching the 2547 02:04:19.439 --> 02:04:22.439 progression between those two movies, because like in Sneakers, it's like, okay, 2548 02:04:22.479 --> 02:04:26.359 we've we've turned down the heat on like how bad 2549 02:04:26.399 --> 02:04:28.079 this is going to be, so we can turn up 2550 02:04:28.119 --> 02:04:31.279 the heat on the comedy because like if it goes bad, 2551 02:04:31.319 --> 02:04:33.640 it's it's not global thermer nuclear war. 2552 02:04:35.920 --> 02:04:38.399 Well yeah, but also there's like a philosophical bent to 2553 02:04:38.439 --> 02:04:39.079 both films too. 2554 02:04:39.159 --> 02:04:43.560 Yeah yeah, all right, So that is the end of 2555 02:04:43.600 --> 02:04:46.119 our show.

I have only a few 2607 02:07:19.600 --> 02:07:22.079 moments to spend with you today. I'm in the midst 2608 02:07:22.239 --> 02:07:25.880 of a whirlwind of appointments to prepare for my appearance 2609 02:07:26.119 --> 02:07:27.600 at the Oscars this year. 2610 02:07:28.439 --> 02:07:30.560 Oh, Piggy, you're going to the Oscars? 2611 02:07:30.800 --> 02:07:31.000 Oh? 2612 02:07:31.119 --> 02:07:34.319 Being sure me, little chickadee.

Did you know 2616 02:07:43.880 --> 02:07:48.159 that film was based on my experiences in Hollywood? Oh? 2617 02:07:48.239 --> 02:07:50.239 I thought the film was more of like a metaphor 2618 02:07:50.279 --> 02:07:52.159 about female experiences. 2619 02:07:52.720 --> 02:07:55.600 Oh oh, are you one of those women who try 2620 02:07:55.640 --> 02:07:59.640 to erase other women in a vinglorious attempt to lift 2621 02:07:59.680 --> 02:08:03.279 yourself or are you prepared to name another star of 2622 02:08:03.319 --> 02:08:06.640 my stature that has seventeen old bodies with the stuffing 2623 02:08:06.800 --> 02:08:09.359 rapped out shoved into the back of her boudoir. 2624 02:08:10.439 --> 02:08:14.000 Okay, not off the top of my head. We agree. 2625 02:08:14.359 --> 02:08:16.680 The gay film of the year is a meditation on 2626 02:08:16.840 --> 02:08:20.279 more and More alone.
