1
00:00:03,799 --> 00:00:08,519
Speaker 1: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to another Geek First Review episode.

2
00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:13,240
This is GV six seventy nine. Just two of us here.

3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,839
We started the Runningman journey. If you subscribed to the

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,280
Patreon you would have seen the retrospective of the original

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,359
running Man starting the great Arnold Schwarzenegger. And we lost

6
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:24,640
a couple of members along the way. It's just the

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,600
two of us. Actually, you weren't even on that episode,

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:26,920
were you?

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:28,359
Speaker 2: I wasn't on that episode.

10
00:00:28,359 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. See you took the place of

11
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:31,839
the other. The other two members that were there, they

12
00:00:31,839 --> 00:00:38,439
got executed exactly depraved, deceased, demonic I think was the third,

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,799
but I think so. Yeah, this time around we have

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,200
the depraved and two deceased end of that passion. Taylor Field,

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:44,679
How you doing.

16
00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 2: I'm doing good, doing good, Happy to be here. It

17
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,119
was fun seeing this movie with you and your your

18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,159
elder father, my.

19
00:00:56,159 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: Elder, senior Patzer exactly, my village elder. Yeah, it was

20
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:03,280
the Three Amigos. Our theater had, you know, a decent

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,280
amount of people in. There wasn't sold out show by

22
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,159
any means, but it was more more seats than I

23
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:09,120
had seen when I bought my tickets earlier today.

24
00:01:09,879 --> 00:01:12,719
Speaker 2: There were no tickets sold yesterday when I looked, so yeah,

25
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,040
like within twenty four hours it it spiked.

26
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,439
Speaker 1: In like the big theater too. So I feel like

27
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:19,319
whenever it's like a day away and it's no seats sold,

28
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:21,159
it's like, oh man, well we'll see how this goes.

29
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,040
But yeah, ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna be talking about

30
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,040
The Running Man today. We're gonna be given our usual

31
00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:29,680
spoiler free leading to a spoiler section. We'll give a

32
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,519
spoiler warning going to an ad break and unravel everything

33
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:37,319
about this movie. But before we get to all that,

34
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,000
just a couple of quick things to shout out. We

35
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,079
had our super successful twenty four hour stream this last weekend.

36
00:01:43,719 --> 00:01:47,120
Lots of lots of fun. We raised basically year to

37
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,480
I guess it wouldn't be year to date, it would

38
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,000
be just lifetime total earnings for BC Children's Hospital, which

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,239
are local children's hospital over twenty grand, super super awesome,

40
00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:00,879
lots of fun playing games and just laugh and raising

41
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:03,120
money and it was so shouts out to everyone that

42
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:07,959
tuned in for that. We had an awesome Weekly Geek

43
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:12,240
this week with Taylor Field and Travis snell. I hear

44
00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:15,840
I this that episode myself. I was a little away

45
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,319
that day apparently. And then Dylan and I also did

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,719
a super fun side quest this week, and my gosh,

47
00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:26,319
what else we got it? Welcome to Darry? Is that

48
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:26,879
what it's called?

49
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: You got it?

50
00:02:27,759 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that show, but you guys are doing

51
00:02:29,159 --> 00:02:31,759
your weekly Did you do a review episode? Also that

52
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,240
day after the stream?

53
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,039
Speaker 2: No, I I put you to the money.

54
00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:39,599
Speaker 1: Don't blame you, don't blame you at all. That was

55
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,080
I was a zombie that after that day after, Yeah,

56
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,240
lots of things dropping on the feeds. Keep your eyes

57
00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:48,879
on all the feeds there. And yeah, I'll mention our

58
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,039
Patreon stuff after we go. Yeah, after we get a

59
00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:55,159
little bit further than the episode. But let's just jump

60
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,159
right into it. Let's start running on this Running Man review.

61
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:00,319
Diego in the chat? Yo, how's going?

62
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:02,439
Speaker 2: Yeah?

63
00:03:02,479 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: Here we are, Taylor, we watched Did you watch the

64
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,840
RNY one? Even though you weren't on that episode?

65
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,479
Speaker 2: I never saw it before, but I managed to squeeze

66
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,280
it in yesterday.

67
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: Actually all perfect, nice and not a direct sequel by

68
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:17,759
any means, but it's nice to kind of have a

69
00:03:17,759 --> 00:03:20,120
little inklean of what's I assume that was your first

70
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:20,960
time see that.

71
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,479
Speaker 2: Was my first time seeing it. Extremely cheesy. I like

72
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,759
those old school iron'd Swarzenegger roles, and I have to say,

73
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,039
I can't, off the top of my head recall any

74
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:37,879
role Whereunld Schwarzenegger has like a like facial hair and hm.

75
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,719
He definitely was rocking it pretty good.

76
00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: He had a little Conan. I think he might have

77
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,360
a little something in Conan. I'm gonna look, but probably not.

78
00:03:47,039 --> 00:03:52,919
He seems very uh yeah, I know, just smooth, smooth face. Interesting, Wow,

79
00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:56,840
the legend of Conan. What is this? Because it's a

80
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:03,479
movie twenty director Paul Verhoeven, I don't even know if

81
00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:06,080
this is a real movie. This has got to be fake. Yeah,

82
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,319
this has got to be a fake movie. He's got

83
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,240
fatial hair here, but it looks very AI generated and

84
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,400
there's no dates or anything, so I'm gonna say this

85
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:16,160
is a real movie. So yeah, I think you're right.

86
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,160
I think there's not a lot of projects that he

87
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:19,920
has facial hair in.

88
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:23,759
Speaker 2: No, there isn't. And I think he was rocking it

89
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,360
pretty good. Actually, I was quite surprised, but it didn't.

90
00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:28,160
It didn't last long on that in that movie. But

91
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:32,800
I digress I right off the hop. I mean, I

92
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,240
feel like this one is definitely more my cup tea

93
00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:38,720
than compared to the original, But it was definitely appreciated.

94
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:42,879
Little easter eggs and the subtleties and one notable easter

95
00:04:42,879 --> 00:04:45,000
egg in the movie, which we'll we'll mention in the

96
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,240
spoilers review, which definitely cracked me up. But yeah, funny thing.

97
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,639
So when I went to the theater, I got there

98
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,839
maybe ten minutes before, you know, their advertised star time,

99
00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:01,480
which is always in Wrecked, so I've been there. There's

100
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,600
two other keys sitting in there, I know, rookie mistake,

101
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,600
I eating my my Twizzlers that I swiped from my

102
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,120
kids saline candy bucket, and uh there's you know, crowd

103
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,439
starts coming in, and there's a guy that walks in

104
00:05:13,519 --> 00:05:15,480
and he's dressed like he's from the universe of The

105
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,879
Running Man kind of and like on the more like

106
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,040
rich side maybe like even more like borderlines borderlines like

107
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,399
Hunger Games, oh like the Capitol fashion. So yeah, he

108
00:05:25,519 --> 00:05:28,079
walks in and he's just he's all alone. And whenever

109
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:29,920
I'm in a movie theater I see someone walking alone,

110
00:05:29,959 --> 00:05:31,439
I always just kind of like take note of it,

111
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,279
just because I'm paranoid.

112
00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: He walks in.

113
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:48,399
Speaker 2: That now, yeah, it's in there. So he walks in there,

114
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,399
and I don't make direct eye contact with him. But

115
00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:55,480
then I would say, maybe like fifteen seconds goes by,

116
00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:59,279
and then a girl walks in behind, and the girl

117
00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:04,079
is I don't know, like he's a very tall individual

118
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,759
and the girl is very much like shorter, but I

119
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:07,759
could tell like, okay, she's walking at a pace that

120
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,600
matches his. They're clearly together, and she follows to wherever

121
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:12,519
he's going, and I leave it at that. I thought, okay,

122
00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:13,959
maybe she went to the bathroom, maybe she was just

123
00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:16,560
taking her time, whatever reason. So they go in. And

124
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,000
then when we leave together at least Syarah goodbyes, and

125
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:23,240
I get into my my vehicle and i'm driving out.

126
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,560
Then I see him walking and he's like thirty feet

127
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,519
ahead of her. He's walking and belining it to his

128
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,920
vehicle like just a normal pace. And then I see

129
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:38,000
her walking and she's walking just very slowly, like just behind,

130
00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:40,399
but like thirty feet away, and I just felt like, man,

131
00:06:41,399 --> 00:06:44,240
it's like he did something like she did something to

132
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:46,439
wrong him, and he's just like.

133
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: He's living farts. The whole movie.

134
00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:51,879
Speaker 2: Well, it just felt really really uncomfortable. Just seems like

135
00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:53,680
there's some relationships.

136
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: That followed them in the mask. What was going on

137
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,720
this guy cuzy business.

138
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if she was looking at my jeep

139
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:01,600
or she knew I was, like I was looking at her,

140
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,199
thinking like, what is this weird dilemma going on? It

141
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,319
was just very very weird. But you know, I like

142
00:07:07,399 --> 00:07:08,720
the people watch when I'm at the movie.

143
00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: I always love your pre movie stories. I feel like

144
00:07:12,519 --> 00:07:17,600
you've had some crack and fun for just cars not

145
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,560
being you know, properly parking break Yeah around, no parking stories,

146
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,199
got stories around your movies.

147
00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: There's always shit going on in the movies. Let me

148
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:26,560
tell you.

149
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,279
Speaker 1: Was she dressed like the Hunger Games or was he

150
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,519
just the only lone soldier? He was just completely standing up.

151
00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: She was dressed like a goths, like a two thousand

152
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,279
and two thousand and nine, two thousand and eight goth girl.

153
00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:44,199
Speaker 1: Okay, shuts up the Yeah, you.

154
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,839
Speaker 2: Don't see many of those anymore. I feel like it's.

155
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,839
Speaker 1: I'm not in there. I don't go to where the

156
00:07:50,199 --> 00:07:54,959
goths like watering Hole is. I don't think I'm a recluse.

157
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,199
I don't get out of the house much except for

158
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,439
to go on on a nice vacation somewhere. But cool. Yeah,

159
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,199
what do you think about reunny Man? Yeah?

160
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: This, You know, I was not overly excited with the trailers.

161
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,720
I thought, Okay, I feel like we're kind of seeing

162
00:08:10,759 --> 00:08:13,160
everything that there is to see. But I have to say,

163
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,519
Glenn Powell was absolutely fantastic in this movie. He was

164
00:08:17,839 --> 00:08:19,959
really selling it and he wasn't trying to be overly

165
00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:23,360
comedic at times too, while I'd say the characters around

166
00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:26,079
him were being the comedic ones, some of them more

167
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,519
so than others, like Michael Sarah and whatnot. But for

168
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,279
the most part, he's just playing a very very serious

169
00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:37,120
character and the circumstances are very comedic. But he was

170
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:39,919
delivering some emotional moments that I was really jagving with

171
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,279
and I was really just getting attached to him as

172
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,159
a character and his progression forward. Really liked it, And yeah,

173
00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:48,559
I think that the universe that they created and all

174
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,600
these different things they had going on was really really

175
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,799
good and well done. It puts it into a funny

176
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,799
perspective the narrative because there's a lot of similarities with

177
00:08:58,879 --> 00:09:03,120
how they treat certain people in this universe compared to

178
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,879
the original film. But man, with the AI sora chat

179
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,919
ChiPT these days. Fuck, I feel like there's definitely a

180
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,159
very it's an appropriate time to release a movie like

181
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,639
this because I feel like you can definitely see there's

182
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,480
a lot of common themes here with present day stuff,

183
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,879
right like when you see the Stephen Hawking videos of

184
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,399
him doing flips at the at the skate parks.

185
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,919
Speaker 1: Yes, among others. I feel like that was something that

186
00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:32,799
blew me away so much about the original is the

187
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,080
original movie had that, and that's from like the nineties,

188
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,559
before we even had stuff like this. So now, yeah,

189
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,600
you go on Instagram and go on TikTok or whatever,

190
00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:42,159
like you just are always seeing these AI videos. But

191
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,240
like in the nineties, when they have like Arnie doing

192
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,720
these fake AI videos to like just you know, reshape

193
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,519
what he's saying, it was like, oh, that's kind of funny.

194
00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:55,519
But then like watching that movie nowadays, like holy fuck,

195
00:09:55,519 --> 00:09:57,720
they're way ahead the curve, like that's exactly what's happening.

196
00:09:57,759 --> 00:10:01,399
Speaker 2: When I was twenty seventeen, right, like ystopian future that's when.

197
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,159
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that was the date that was that was

198
00:10:03,159 --> 00:10:05,919
set in that movie. Yeah, you're trying, right, so, but

199
00:10:06,039 --> 00:10:08,679
like to get those videos now, like we're not even surprised.

200
00:10:08,759 --> 00:10:10,679
It's not even like, oh, look at that technology that

201
00:10:10,759 --> 00:10:12,759
was introduced in this movie. It's just like, oh, yeah, no,

202
00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:15,159
that happens all the time every day. We just didn't

203
00:10:15,159 --> 00:10:17,759
see the Sora filter because they paid for the paid

204
00:10:17,799 --> 00:10:23,000
version of the ad or sorry, watermark not filter. But yeah, yeah,

205
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:23,600
that's right.

206
00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 2: But all in all, like I'm I'm excited to break

207
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,399
it down a little bit more. It's a it was

208
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:29,879
a dan good time. I don't know if I'm gonna

209
00:10:29,919 --> 00:10:32,759
rush to see it again in theaters or anything like that,

210
00:10:32,919 --> 00:10:36,279
but you know, if it pops up on streaming service,

211
00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:38,480
I could definitely put it on to play in the background.

212
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,639
But yeah, I think what I recommend you to go

213
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,639
see it in the theaters. I think it was definitely worthwhile

214
00:10:46,639 --> 00:10:48,080
to see on the big screen because it's got a

215
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,240
lot of really decent action sequences and a lot of

216
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,480
really fun things too that are going for it. But

217
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,159
oh you know what, if you've only got enough money

218
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:02,399
for one movie ticket this month, I'm gonna say go

219
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,399
see Pright or Bad lance, Yeah.

220
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: Which I haven't seen yet. You should have told me

221
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,720
that before I saw this, right, which, to be fair,

222
00:11:10,759 --> 00:11:12,360
you did ask me if I had seen it yet

223
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,039
before we watched this movie. We were sitting down the theater,

224
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,080
so you did. You did tell me to.

225
00:11:17,039 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: Do that, do my diligence?

226
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,279
Speaker 1: Cool? Anything else you want to say for the free Nope,

227
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,720
it's all you me, all right? Yeah? No, I I

228
00:11:27,759 --> 00:11:31,159
was really excited for this movie. The trailers. I think

229
00:11:31,159 --> 00:11:33,200
the first trailer really really sold me, like we're off

230
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,519
the gate, so I was like peauk interest off of

231
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:37,639
that first trailer. Second trailer it was a little bit

232
00:11:37,639 --> 00:11:40,039
more story stuff and it was like, okay, well I

233
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,799
already bought my ticket, Like I don't really need to

234
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,440
see this this trailer the metaphorical ticket tickets I hadn't

235
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,120
gone on sale at that point. But no, I like

236
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,840
Glenn Powell. I think he's very charismatic and a good lead,

237
00:11:49,919 --> 00:11:53,759
and especially like watching the original Running Man, I'm like,

238
00:11:53,799 --> 00:11:56,279
all right, I just want some crazy out of this

239
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,720
world action with just some goofy character characters. Josh Brolin

240
00:12:00,799 --> 00:12:03,480
being like the main one with like his big fake

241
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,639
teeth and like spray tan thing going on, Like he

242
00:12:07,039 --> 00:12:09,320
looks like a Hunger Games type host, and that's kind

243
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,799
of what I was expecting. I think, I think this

244
00:12:12,879 --> 00:12:15,559
movie is really really great. I or let me refra

245
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,519
I I think it's really really good. I'll say I

246
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,200
think it's missing some things to make it really really great,

247
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,600
but it's still a really fun time. I think Glenn

248
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,840
Powell is phenomenal in this, Like he's just such a

249
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,440
good lead in this in this lead role, like some

250
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:31,879
of the lines around his character, I don't know whether

251
00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:33,559
it was like some of the stuff with his family,

252
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:37,039
it was like, Okay, this is not the strongest writing here,

253
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,240
but like he's still really great. Like I am rooting

254
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,559
for him throughout the whole movie. He's just a good

255
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,480
lead in these type of action movies. And then I

256
00:12:44,519 --> 00:12:47,799
see like what he's doing with the what's his name,

257
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,320
it's like Chuck Powers or something like that, that football

258
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,919
show that he's doing. I'm just like, man like, like

259
00:12:52,919 --> 00:12:54,399
why are you doing that type of stuff? Like I

260
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,600
guess he's passionate about it. I think he's like a

261
00:12:56,639 --> 00:12:58,799
producer for the show. But it's just like it's just

262
00:12:59,159 --> 00:13:00,919
I don't know, this guy just has so much talent

263
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,200
that I think it was. I haven't seen Scream Queens.

264
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,200
I heard he's phenomenal in that, but Top Gun Maverick

265
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,600
would have been the big kicker for me. That just

266
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:12,399
put him on my radar. And I really liked him

267
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,679
in Twisters also, like he's just really charismatic, so I

268
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,720
do like seeing him in things, and I think the

269
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,679
big standouts for me was him. Coleman Domingo is just

270
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,840
like exuding charisma in this. He's just like Aura Farming

271
00:13:26,919 --> 00:13:29,039
the whole film, and it's just working for me. He's

272
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,159
just such a cool dude. Yeah, and I love his

273
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,240
line delivery, I love his outfits. I don't know. His

274
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,440
character wasn't like a super major integral piece of the puzzle,

275
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,639
but he was still really enjoyable to have on screen.

276
00:13:45,159 --> 00:13:48,080
Michael Sarah and then the second characters with Michael Sarah

277
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,240
I really enjoyed. I thought it would be like maybe

278
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:55,039
too much from the trailers, but it didn't really get

279
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,679
there for me personally. I can understand why some people

280
00:13:57,759 --> 00:14:01,200
might have that pullback, but no humor around him really

281
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,799
really worked for me. And then Josh Brolin was really

282
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,840
really fantastic. I think his character was a lot more

283
00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:11,039
serious that I was expecting, which is like I don't know,

284
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,360
part of me was hoping for like a really balls

285
00:14:14,399 --> 00:14:18,279
to the walls Hunger Games type character of like Josh

286
00:14:18,279 --> 00:14:22,000
Brolin gonna be playing. I think, at like the most

287
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,279
he doesn't get like so crazy, but I think it

288
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,279
fits the overall movie, like like he he exudes like

289
00:14:29,399 --> 00:14:32,159
fear but also like not like yelling, Like he just

290
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,080
has like a certain presence where you don't really know

291
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,039
exactly where his mind's and I think he's a good

292
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,480
antagonist of the movie. So yeah, those were like the

293
00:14:40,559 --> 00:14:44,919
big three I would say that that were standouts for me.

294
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,200
And but yeah, overall, I think the action was really fun.

295
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,240
I think there was some moments I was laughing really hard,

296
00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:53,080
others not so much, Like the humor is just not landing.

297
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,960
I think the third act is might be the like

298
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,480
weakest for me personally. I just feel like we're really

299
00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:04,440
trying to jump through a bunch of extra hoops that

300
00:15:04,519 --> 00:15:08,080
like isn't really necessary, Like it's trying to overcomplicate a

301
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,519
certain like just a story. And I found the First

302
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,320
Running Man to be less simple than I was expecting

303
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,360
and maybe hoping, like I was just like, yeah, let's

304
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,120
just do a Running Man story. But like you know,

305
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,120
spoilers for that old movie. He like starts off of

306
00:15:22,159 --> 00:15:24,399
being framed and then he like escapes jail and then

307
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,559
and then it's like this whole big like arc to

308
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,200
get him just into the Running Man game. And I

309
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,840
guess minor spoiler like, like there is a little bit

310
00:15:32,879 --> 00:15:34,440
of story stuff, but like I feel like we get

311
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,200
into the Running Man portion pretty quick in this movie,

312
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,080
which I was totally down for, but by the end,

313
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,080
it just seems like we're doing a lot of extra

314
00:15:42,159 --> 00:15:44,840
things and it just wasn't the cleanest execution for me.

315
00:15:44,919 --> 00:15:47,879
So a little bit jarring there, but I don't know,

316
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,840
jarring seems too extremely a word. It was kind of minor.

317
00:15:51,639 --> 00:15:54,120
Just just took me out of a little bit. But yeah,

318
00:15:54,159 --> 00:15:58,480
the main meat and potatoes was really fun. Yeah, no,

319
00:15:58,639 --> 00:16:01,159
great action. Definitely would recommend this if you're like an

320
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,159
action movie fan, if you like Glenn Powell, I think

321
00:16:03,159 --> 00:16:04,759
that's also like a big one. I just feel like

322
00:16:04,759 --> 00:16:07,399
he's a certain type of actor that they're like, ohh,

323
00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:09,399
I've seen that guy in Twisters and I just love

324
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,559
him like that, or like top Gun Mavericks, so I'll

325
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,720
like definitely recommend it to those types of people because

326
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,039
he is just really good in this. Yeah, I think

327
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,759
that's kind of all I want to say for now,

328
00:16:20,919 --> 00:16:23,960
So leave it there unless there's anything you want to

329
00:16:25,919 --> 00:16:29,240
shoot into the final I got nothing trying to make

330
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,919
a Running Man fun, but I was it was fleeting me.

331

of those retrospectives, because some of them don't make it

349
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,599
to the main field. I was looking into your eyes

350
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,799
and I said field. When I say the main feed, yeah,

351
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:44,119
very intimate. So yeah, go check that out. But until then,

352
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,960
we're gonna jump to our first outbreaks. We'll bear it back,

353
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,039
all right, Taylor of the fields? Where do you want

354
00:17:52,039 --> 00:17:52,240
to go?

355
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 2: Mmm? My goodness, where to start?

356
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: Big question. I didn't prepare you for this.

357
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna start with. The first East Egg that

358
00:18:02,519 --> 00:18:05,839
made me laugh was the they called it ND bills.

359
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: Right yeah, And I can't remember exactly what they said,

360
00:18:10,519 --> 00:18:16,400
but it was at first I thought it was just like, yeah, yeah,

361
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,200
who is usually like a president, founding member of society.

362
00:18:22,279 --> 00:18:26,039
Does that mean that like he like that same character

363
00:18:26,079 --> 00:18:27,599
as him? Or do you think it's just a funny

364
00:18:27,599 --> 00:18:30,039
Easter egg? He just I think it's the governor of

365
00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:33,039
California is on the one hundred dollars bill.

366
00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:35,319
Speaker 2: I think it's just a funny East Egg. I can't

367
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,279
imagine that character just well, I.

368
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: Mean I thought he was gonna pop up. Honestly, at

369
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,519
some point I thought he was for sure gonna I

370
00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:47,000
don't know, My mind was going all over places before

371
00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:50,920
the ski mask guy got d mask. Part of me

372
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,759
thought he was rolling the whole time. And then I'm like,

373
00:18:52,759 --> 00:18:54,400
they're gonna do some crazy thing where it's gonna be

374
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,839
like Arnie just daged or something. Please don't do that.

375
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,400
So I'm glad they didn't do that. But you know,

376
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,640
he made a small appearance there.

377
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I'm glad they didn't do At the age,

378
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,000
that's some terminator stuff that can stay with Terminator. It's yeah,

379
00:19:08,039 --> 00:19:10,319
it was fun at least striking, and maybe it could

380
00:19:10,319 --> 00:19:15,000
be in the long run a scenario where game winners

381
00:19:15,079 --> 00:19:21,039
become and the hunters and all that crazy shit. Right,

382
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,279
So maybe he did become you know, he was a

383
00:19:23,319 --> 00:19:27,240
game former, game player, and he just becomes someone that's

384
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:32,240
a prominent person, the president in this new dystopian America.

385
00:19:32,319 --> 00:19:34,240
But what it was the quote it's like good people

386
00:19:34,279 --> 00:19:37,839
don't become presidents, they become runners or something like that.

387
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,680
I can't remember what they were how they described.

388
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: It, remember, but yeah, in this movie they dropped that quote.

389
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,839
Speaker 2: I think I thought they dropped it in this. There

390
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,480
was a lot of a lot of a lot of

391
00:19:48,519 --> 00:19:52,599
one liners and lots of stuff from oh my gosh, I'm.

392
00:19:52,519 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: Forgetting his name Orwellian type stories.

393
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 2: Why don't I see his name? You're gonna laugh at

394
00:20:04,279 --> 00:20:07,079
me A Coleman Domingo, Yeah, you.

395
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,079
Speaker 1: Can laugh at Oh, okay, he didn't pop Bobby Thomson.

396
00:20:09,839 --> 00:20:13,279
Speaker 2: Be Bobby t Yeah, Bobby tuh. So many things that

397
00:20:13,319 --> 00:20:14,960
he was saying. It was just it was just making

398
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,279
me laugh. And right off the hop when Josh Berlin's

399
00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:21,680
character is kind of doing this, oh, I want to

400
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,720
help your family, consider this like an investment, you know,

401
00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:27,000
into you or whatnot, sign up for running Man, all

402
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,640
that kind of stuff, And of course it progresses from

403
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,599
there and they just get this like, oh, he killed

404
00:20:32,599 --> 00:20:34,960
these people, he did this, he ditched you know, his

405
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,000
wife was this, you know, works at this clubs and whatnot,

406
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,400
ditches his daughter and all this, and it's like fuck,

407
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,960
they just totally spin it around, and that just really

408
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,640
really made me laugh. And that's where it was like

409
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,039
the AI comparison, right m.

410
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,559
Speaker 1: M yeah, I know they're deep faking throughout the whole thing.

411
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,240
I did laugh in that scene though, it's like and

412
00:20:56,319 --> 00:21:00,359
his wife is working at the filthy whatever bar or

413
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,160
whatever the hell they labeled it. The luck it's some

414
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,599
sort of starian Yeah, yeah, there you go, the Libertarian

415
00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:09,799
And just the way that he said it, especially like

416
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,599
Glenn Pale was already getting heated at the idea of

417
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,720
that earlier on, definitely struck a nerve that one. That

418
00:21:14,759 --> 00:21:18,319
line definitely got me. But Coleman. Coleman's fantastic, and it

419
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,720
was cool to see him in a role where like

420
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,319
you can really just chew up the scenery. That's where

421
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,400
like I just wish he was in it more, even

422
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,960
even for Josh Brolin, Like I think he's fantastic, and

423
00:21:28,039 --> 00:21:30,319
like for the version of the character that we got,

424
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,440
I think it's okay to have the amount, but like,

425
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,200
I don't know, I think I still would have taken

426
00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:38,200
some more scenes of him, like like I don't know,

427
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,920
just like actually behind this behind the scenes of the

428
00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:46,440
running man, uh, just sequences, like just seeing a little

429
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,079
bit more of the planning and what's going on there.

430
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,000
But still, yeah, he was still great.

431
00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, for sure, Josh Brolin definitely could have

432
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,279
been in some more scenes I agree. I think he

433
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,839
I enjoyed everything with him at the end and the

434
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:02,200
and everything and him taking control of it and him

435
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,440
spinning the different dynamics and and scenarios and all that

436
00:22:05,559 --> 00:22:10,720
kind of stuff. And what was that one scene? Uh

437
00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:15,160
he he they were live and he said something because

438
00:22:15,559 --> 00:22:19,160
Domingo passed the torch to him. Uh and so he

439
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:24,160
uh because Bill killing killing killing your Killian Killian, Yeah,

440
00:22:24,279 --> 00:22:26,519
go kill in dank Dan Killian.

441
00:22:26,599 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: So Dan.

442
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 2: He was just like, oh, you know, you're a great man.

443
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,799
We're gonna give you the new show, The Hunter's number

444
00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:37,160
six and all that. Welcome to the network. And quickly

445
00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:42,160
he Glenn Palell's character says something really quick and then

446
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,039
you hear the audience member go what he'say, like fuck

447
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,279
you Dan or something.

448
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. A lot of those little humorous point

449
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,279
moments really really hit for me, just like the little

450
00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:58,759
sidelines colding. Domingo had the one really good one too,

451
00:22:58,799 --> 00:23:02,000
and it's like if you check article forty two, clause

452
00:23:02,039 --> 00:23:04,680
six of my contract, and the guy's like looking because

453
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,839
because like the way that he sees, like holy fuck,

454
00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:08,079
does he have U is here? He'll tell you a

455
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,640
fuck off and then he just walks away. It's like, man,

456
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,359
this guy's just badass. I love it. I don't really

457
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,039
know why they wouldn't have just popped him right there.

458
00:23:15,079 --> 00:23:16,720
It just seems like it's such a shady crew. But

459
00:23:16,799 --> 00:23:21,279
still they're a little inconsistent on their severity of of

460
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:22,240
ditionelle punishment.

461
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,599
Speaker 2: It seemed mm hmm oh for sure. Yeah, And again

462
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,359
that's just one of the many storylines where Glenn Powell's character,

463
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,160
I don't feel like he's being himself very humorous or comedic,

464
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,039
which I'm glad. I'm glad that they stuck him to

465
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:41,720
just being this straight up, simple emotional and character, very angry,

466
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,960
very angry, very very angry. And you know, is it

467
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:45,599
two dimensional?

468
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:45,759
Speaker 1: Is that?

469
00:23:45,799 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 2: What I want to say is it's very He's a

470
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,319
very simple character and he didn't have a lot of

471
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,240
layers to him. And I'm happy about that because it

472
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,680
just kind of made it an easy story to unpack

473
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,440
with him, and it easier narrative to kind of get

474
00:23:55,519 --> 00:23:58,960
point A to point B with him, whereas everything else

475
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,039
around him could be sae and he can be serious

476
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:06,279
emotional and can also be comedic, like him watching the Americanas,

477
00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:10,119
which is just this weird reoccurring show man there, and it's.

478
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: Clearly a spoof of the Kardashians. That's what I thought.

479
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,480
I only know that because Shae watches that show out

480
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,519
of like just hate watching, and uh it's like literally

481
00:24:18,519 --> 00:24:20,880
the exact same same intro. And then they had like

482
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,000
just a spoof of Chris Jenner walk in, which is

483
00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:26,359
just yeah that that was kind of goofy, like in

484
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:27,359
a good way. I thought it was.

485
00:24:27,519 --> 00:24:30,079
Speaker 2: So No, why do you think the reason is for

486
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,319
them to be displaying that? Is it just I think

487
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,279
it's like still like a wire people watching this bullshit, Like.

488
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: Why do these people have power in the world? Right,

489
00:24:37,599 --> 00:24:40,519
Like like like what like these types of people that

490
00:24:40,559 --> 00:24:43,200
are just they're just all about themselves and just just

491
00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:46,440
chewing up, uh drama And like even the line right

492
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,440
where it's I'm not even gonna paraphrase it, but it's

493
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,640
just something along yeah, no, I'm not even gonna paraphrase

494
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,279
it's just like the line between the two of them,

495
00:24:55,319 --> 00:24:58,160
and then it's just they're just so like characters of themselves.

496
00:24:59,599 --> 00:25:01,599
That's how it felt, because a lot of the movie

497
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:06,160
is like it's steeling like social commentary on just the

498
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,720
whole classism and like the corporation, there's like a lot

499
00:25:10,759 --> 00:25:13,440
of like you know, good or bad. There's just a

500
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,160
lot of like yeah America, fuck yeah, like in this movie,

501
00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:20,359
but like the overall health of the nation seems to

502
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,759
be like really dystopian because and even the original Running

503
00:25:23,759 --> 00:25:26,000
Man had that right, like they emphasis. I think there's

504
00:25:26,039 --> 00:25:28,480
like a like a crawl at the start of the

505
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,720
movie kind of telling you about the just just how

506
00:25:31,799 --> 00:25:33,799
much control the government has and it's all tied to

507
00:25:33,839 --> 00:25:36,480
the networks and something like the Running Man is just

508
00:25:36,599 --> 00:25:39,359
it's literally like the I mean they even mentioned in

509
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,200
this movie, like the Roman Colisseum, how it just like

510
00:25:41,279 --> 00:25:44,200
keeps public order in check of just having people watch

511
00:25:44,279 --> 00:25:48,839
violence and everybody just loves it all together. So I

512
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,799
don't know that stuff. I feel like there was moments

513
00:25:51,799 --> 00:25:54,759
where it felt a little too forced, but also for

514
00:25:54,799 --> 00:25:58,279
the vast majority, it didn't really feel too out there,

515
00:25:58,319 --> 00:26:01,920
like it didn't seem like they were doing I don't

516
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,079
know more than what would fit the narrative of the movie.

517
00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:08,160
I felt like everything that was spoken about fit the movie,

518
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:13,039
even if it is unfortunately uh also relating to some

519
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,960
things in real life. And yeah, no, so I thought

520
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,160
the overall balancing of that was was done pretty well,

521
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:20,759
could have been much worse.

522
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,559
Speaker 2: M h, yeah, I agree. Uh, you reminded me of

523
00:26:25,559 --> 00:26:28,359
another scene that maybe laugh. I don't want to highlight here.

524
00:26:29,279 --> 00:26:31,400
I want to say. His name was Tim. He was

525
00:26:31,519 --> 00:26:35,440
one of the other one of three of the running people.

526
00:26:35,519 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and uh, I can't remember his last name,

527
00:26:37,519 --> 00:26:38,160
but yeah, Tim.

528
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,559
Speaker 2: Holy fuck. Like not that I sense like a sense

529
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:46,759
of like relate relateness to this character, but because I wouldn't.

530
00:26:46,799 --> 00:26:48,319
I don't think I would ever do this shit that

531
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,599
he did. But there's just a simplicity to it that

532
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,720
just really fucking cracked me up. And he reminded me

533
00:26:53,759 --> 00:26:57,599
of like Vigilante from Peacemakers, because he's You're all supposed

534
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,680
to be hiding and going under ground doing all these things,

535
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,559
but no, he's in this story.

536
00:27:01,799 --> 00:27:06,599
Speaker 1: It's just like, hey, you ever see that short running man? Yeah,

537
00:27:06,599 --> 00:27:09,960
that one got everyone in the theater laugh and oh yeah.

538
00:27:10,039 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 2: And it's just it made it even better because they

539
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,160
filmed it from the perspective of like you're a viewer

540
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:19,440
watching the show, you just have you have Domingo's character saying, oh,

541
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:25,119
our hunters are moving to get him. He's just like,

542
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,839
I'm gonna come back later and ask you this question again, Like,

543
00:27:28,279 --> 00:27:31,000
what the fuck is he doing? What a goofball?

544
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,759
Speaker 1: Yeah? Pretty much a nothing character, right, Like they just

545
00:27:34,759 --> 00:27:37,200
have him in there for humor. I can't remember if

546
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,359
the three different runners, like including Glenn Kyle were shown

547
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,480
in the trailers or not. I thought it was just him,

548
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,920
but like even in the original they have multiple runners,

549
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,079
so that would make sense why they do that. I

550
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,440
was kind of expecting more out of out of these three,

551
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,240
like I'm fine if this guy is just like, yeah,

552
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,359
he's just the quick death. But like, specifically for Katie O'Brien,

553
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,480
I really enjoy I've seen her in I think she's

554
00:28:01,519 --> 00:28:03,759
really great, so I was really bummed that she is

555
00:28:03,799 --> 00:28:05,799
just kind of a nothing character in this, Like she

556
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,400
just fucks fucks off. She doesn't work with Glenn Pale

557
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,680
at all. I was expecting like some sort of team

558
00:28:10,759 --> 00:28:14,480
up at some point, and unfortunately didn't happen. She was

559
00:28:14,519 --> 00:28:17,480
just partying and then it just cuts to her being

560
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,960
burnt alive, and I was like, holy fuck, that's it. Okay,

561
00:28:20,079 --> 00:28:22,559
We're just done with these characters. They're absolutely nothing. So

562
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,559
a little bit disappointing. Not so much for Tim. Yeah, okay,

563
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,759
I'll take the quick, easy death that that was. That

564
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,039
was funny. But then when they go to Katie just

565
00:28:32,079 --> 00:28:35,920
being burnt alive by these children with flamethrowers, it was

566
00:28:37,319 --> 00:28:39,480
not so much funny and just kind of disappointing because

567
00:28:39,519 --> 00:28:42,359
it's like, oh, okays, she's a better actress than this,

568
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:43,880
and I kind of want to see more of her.

569
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,319
So a little bit bummed out by that.

570
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean she's been rising up lately in different

571
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,440
projects and whatnot, so it is it is quite shocking.

572
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,279
And when I saw her, I thought, oh shit, yeah, okay,

573
00:28:53,279 --> 00:28:55,519
we're gonna get some team ups. We're gonna get some

574
00:28:55,519 --> 00:28:57,160
some some stuff.

575
00:28:57,359 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: It was bad because even like in the opening credits

576
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,160
I saw her name, I'm like, oh fuck, I forgot

577
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,400
she's in this. That's never a good feeling. It's like, Okay,

578
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,000
I can't wait to see more of her in this,

579
00:29:06,119 --> 00:29:09,559
but no, nothing really even William H.

580
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,279
Speaker 2: Macy too, Like I knew he was in it in advance,

581
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,079
but I kind of was hoping that he'd be a

582
00:29:15,119 --> 00:29:17,839
little bit more of a bigger role in here, but.

583
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,519
Speaker 1: No, he just got meat grindered. Yeah, I wasn't ready

584
00:29:23,519 --> 00:29:24,599
for that.

585
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 2: No, I saw you turn your head Ice. I think.

586
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: I think it was that in the eyeball thing he pulls.

587
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,039
Speaker 2: Yeah behind me, screamed don't Yeah.

588
00:29:40,359 --> 00:29:42,599
Speaker 1: No, he was vocal, he was like, ah fuck, I'm

589
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,519
pretty sure that's that's what he said. The guy behind us,

590
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,599
What was I gonna say next time?

591
00:29:53,279 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: Could you? Bryan Willie Macy?

592
00:29:56,519 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, just like the other kind of side characters. I'll

593
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,839
mention here the one guy named Bradley who was kind

594
00:30:02,839 --> 00:30:06,079
of like the internet personality guy who was like criticizing

595
00:30:06,119 --> 00:30:08,000
the whole games. He was the one that helped out

596
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:09,480
Ben Richards the.

597
00:30:09,519 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 2: Apostle or the Michael Sarah character.

598
00:30:12,599 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: No, the Apostle like the guy that has like the

599
00:30:14,519 --> 00:30:16,559
get up and does like his YouTube videos to hide

600
00:30:16,559 --> 00:30:20,319
his keeps his anonymity, but but helps him out there.

601
00:30:20,599 --> 00:30:23,759
I like his character. I liked how there is just

602
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,799
different people out there that like realize that like, Okay,

603
00:30:26,839 --> 00:30:28,799
just because you have a dollar value on you, like

604
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,000
that's not really gonna help us out, Like they'll probably

605
00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:34,319
just fuck us over, find as guilty doing something. So

606
00:30:35,759 --> 00:30:38,640
like it's not just like straight okay, this guy is wanted,

607
00:30:38,759 --> 00:30:41,559
so therefore the whole universe is after him, like there

608
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,759
is some awareness of just the classism that's going on

609
00:30:46,839 --> 00:30:48,839
in the world and then the corruptness of the network.

610
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,319
I kind of like that, just that little bit of

611
00:30:50,599 --> 00:30:55,079
world building there, So that character was was interesting. And

612
00:30:55,119 --> 00:30:58,119
then yeah, I was gonna go to Michael C. Hall

613
00:30:58,359 --> 00:31:04,079
and yeah, him and his his mom, Michael Sarah, Michael Sarah,

614
00:31:04,119 --> 00:31:13,480
not Michael. Okay, I guess we can go there. Angel Batista, Yeah,

615
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,079
I guess we mentioned that cameo really quickly because he's

616
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,920
easing it even less. But yeah, I was not ready

617
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,039
to see Angel Batista here, coming off the big success

618
00:31:23,079 --> 00:31:26,640
of Dexter. H It's not new Blood was the new

619
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:32,200
show Resurrection Resurrection, especially that I like, just finished Dexter

620
00:31:32,279 --> 00:31:34,200
and I'm like, hey, I'm never gonna see these characters again,

621
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,720
and then here he is just popping because I don't

622
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,519
think I've seen this guy in anything other than Dexter.

623
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:42,079
Maybe maybe without really knowing, but still, Yeah, it was

624
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,039
this funny scene in there. He has the little uh

625
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,960
like hr guy I don't even know. He's like a

626
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,160
manager in this factory shop, kind of cold blooded, you know,

627
00:31:50,319 --> 00:31:52,799
no sympathy, really for this guy and his sick child

628
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:53,400
with him.

629
00:31:53,759 --> 00:31:57,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, kirkling off guard ladies and gentlemen. He was reacting.

630
00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:03,279
Speaker 1: Soon Batista, God, we gotta turn that video down a

631
00:32:03,279 --> 00:32:08,680
little bit. That's learn Yeah.

632
00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 2: Seeing circle back to the Apostle character. There his his

633
00:32:14,039 --> 00:32:17,000
story popping in with his little brother helping him out.

634
00:32:17,039 --> 00:32:18,720
I really really like that a lot. I thought it

635
00:32:18,759 --> 00:32:21,839
was great. And then Glenn Palell's character was just like, Okay,

636
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,319
I'll help your sister out and all this stuff. And

637
00:32:24,359 --> 00:32:27,920
then like he was showing the mom that he was

638
00:32:28,319 --> 00:32:31,359
a good person, and the mom sees one thing on

639
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,400
TV and totally it's just like, Okay, you're out of here,

640
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,759
Get out of here. Because when he's like, oh he was,

641
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,759
Glenn Palell's character was so invested in his message, and

642
00:32:40,759 --> 00:32:42,200
this is before he knew they were going to distort

643
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,640
the truth. We're like, oh, the network is giving kids cancer.

644
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,440
And then he sends his tape him and then when

645
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,920
they play it and Glenn Powell his characters like those kids, Yeah,

646
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,599
I fucking killed their parents, those kids, and the mom's like,

647
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,400
get it out of my house. It's like, how do

648
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,480
you not how do you believe in this ship? Right?

649
00:33:01,599 --> 00:33:04,759
Speaker 1: Like, hey man, there's people that believe crazier things. It's true.

650
00:33:04,759 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 2: That's true. That is very very true. Oh my god.

651
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,559
But yeah, that that cracked me up. And that's when

652
00:33:09,559 --> 00:33:11,319
you get your first daily dose. It was just okay,

653
00:33:11,359 --> 00:33:14,200
they're just like during drinking the kool aid and changing

654
00:33:14,279 --> 00:33:17,119
up the narrative and everything like that. And then yeah,

655
00:33:17,119 --> 00:33:19,839
with Batista's character, I was laughing because that just caught

656
00:33:19,839 --> 00:33:23,160
me completely off guard. Uh, and again I feel like, okay,

657
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,680
he's he's a decent enough name, I'd say. I mean

658
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,759
maybe only I'm saying that because I've watched.

659
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,759
Speaker 1: Nobody would fucking know this guy. If I asked my dad, hey,

660
00:33:33,759 --> 00:33:35,599
you know who that is, you'd say, fuck, no, I

661
00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:36,680
have no idea who that is.

662
00:33:38,039 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: Well, I guess that's yeah, that's fair. Why he's not

663
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,000
any more scenes or anything.

664
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:47,119
Speaker 1: He's riding that resurrection wave, man, he is. Yeah, let's

665
00:33:47,119 --> 00:33:49,240
take another break here and then we'll be right back

666
00:33:49,279 --> 00:33:53,680
to keep going. All right, we are back. Anything else

667
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,839
on Batista or the Apostle, I was gonna go to

668
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,799
the Sarah realm not Michael Sarah. Yeah, this was one.

669
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,920
I was like, I was semi interested, but like kind

670
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,720
of worried in the trailers because it just seemed like

671
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,920
he's gonna be just so goofy and like that he's

672
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,639
gonna be a whole character, and spoiler alert, he kind

673
00:34:13,639 --> 00:34:16,199
of is that. But honestly, it fit like it just

674
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,719
hits so much better for me watching the movie versus

675
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,480
the trailer. I think the biggest part about it is

676
00:34:21,519 --> 00:34:24,119
the inclusion of the mom because there's just so much

677
00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:27,039
chaos going on in the sequence. And it's funny. How

678
00:34:27,079 --> 00:34:30,920
you you mentioned that team character remind you of Vigilante.

679
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,639
I agree, Michael. Michael Sarah's character also kind of reminded

680
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:37,280
me of Vigilante when when he just wants action, he

681
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,199
just wants to kick ass, especially when they go, you know,

682
00:34:39,199 --> 00:34:40,519
in the newer season and they go to the other

683
00:34:40,599 --> 00:34:44,480
realm and he's just ready to fucking take down the authorities.

684
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:49,320
So I was very much reminded of that when he's

685
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,960
got all his booby traps and he fucking hits the buzzer,

686
00:34:52,119 --> 00:34:54,000
like he like stops his mom from doing it, and

687
00:34:54,039 --> 00:34:56,079
then it's like we're gonna get action and he just

688
00:34:56,119 --> 00:34:59,159
hits it. That was that was pretty funny, And but man,

689
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,320
I love this, like deranged mom character that's deaf, and

690
00:35:02,559 --> 00:35:04,960
there's just so many shots of them, like going around

691
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,639
the house. You just hear her like death cackle from

692
00:35:07,679 --> 00:35:11,880
down the hall, she's watching whatever. It's like, Oh man,

693
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,679
I wish I could just have that character like a

694
00:35:14,159 --> 00:35:16,079
like you know in the war zone days, get that

695
00:35:16,199 --> 00:35:18,400
operator skin where you just get that crazy laugh when

696
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,480
you're doing your execution or whatever. Like it's just it's

697
00:35:20,519 --> 00:35:23,280
just such a funny. Character reminded me of the the

698
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,440
Great Grandma and in Legion, which we always are remembering.

699
00:35:27,599 --> 00:35:30,159
So uh yeah, that that was a really fun sequence

700
00:35:30,159 --> 00:35:33,920
for me. I I think I thought he was gonna

701
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,280
die like really quickly, like after he gets stabbed, but

702
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,639
then they kind of fast forward he you know, he's

703
00:35:38,679 --> 00:35:40,280
he's in like the car chase scene and then he

704
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,920
just gets domed. I I think he, you know, he

705
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,639
had his use. He didn't really overstay as welcome. So

706
00:35:47,679 --> 00:35:51,679
the Michael the hemoseet it again, the Michael Sarah appearance.

707
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,800
I ended up liking a lot more than I thought

708
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:54,360
I would.

709
00:35:54,599 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, uh yeah. I I I feel like he

710
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,360
did not over day is welcome. He was in there

711
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:02,800
for the right amount of time. I thought he was

712
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,360
gonna die sooner when he got killed, like stabbed in

713
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,079
that hallway. But it just caught me up guard when

714
00:36:07,079 --> 00:36:10,760
he got sniped in the head. Uh gave him, gave

715
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,360
hi Glen Powell instructions and where to find this bunker

716
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,000
and it's just a fucking developed areas totally irrelevant now

717
00:36:17,039 --> 00:36:19,880
I'll dug up. So that was funny. But yeah, when

718
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,400
he's introducing Powell and like to his house and just

719
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,960
showing him in, and the moment he walks in and

720
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,320
you just hear the cackle and you see Glenn Powell

721
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,000
like Richard's on the TV on the network, and the

722
00:36:32,039 --> 00:36:34,119
mom is watching it and she's.

723
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,039
Speaker 1: Like, I hope they get that fucker and then kill

724
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,039
What the fuck?

725
00:36:38,639 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Everything about that was just so good.

726
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,480
Like when he wakes up in the morning and I

727
00:36:43,559 --> 00:36:45,679
was actively like I was checking the hallway light to

728
00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:47,559
see if it was on. He could see. Oh, he

729
00:36:47,599 --> 00:36:49,280
steps out and the light turns on, and she's like

730
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,360
halfway creeped up, like I knew you were fucking in here,

731
00:36:52,559 --> 00:36:56,760
Like Jesus Christ, this one is a whole fucking ten

732
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:01,000
right now. It was so funny. But yeah, when Sarah

733
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,679
got just so he got so absorbed in his mission

734
00:37:04,679 --> 00:37:06,960
to like redeem his dad, I guess, and it just

735
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,559
it pulled me out a little bit. But it fits

736
00:37:09,599 --> 00:37:12,119
with the zaniness of the universe too, so I can

737
00:37:12,199 --> 00:37:14,840
let it slide with him being the one to slap

738
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,519
that that button and be like, oh, Ben Richards is

739
00:37:17,559 --> 00:37:20,360
in my house. Uh, And then all the goons come

740
00:37:20,559 --> 00:37:22,639
and he's just having a hell of a fun time

741
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,719
just taking them out with like electrocuting the floor and

742
00:37:27,199 --> 00:37:30,960
the staircase, like it's a whole fucking Kevin McAllister house. Yeah,

743
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,880
like amped up. So I was getting the kick up that.

744
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,920
It was really really funny. Yeah, yeah, So I think

745
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,360
he did a good job. And apparently again with the mom,

746
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,800
that's just what really made it that much better. And

747
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,840
I'm glad the mom wasn't in the trailers because that

748
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,920
was a really and funny surprise.

749
00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:50,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that was That was a great moment. Definitely

750
00:37:50,519 --> 00:37:52,599
probably the funniest for me in the whole movie. Just

751
00:37:53,039 --> 00:37:56,719
those death those death laughs. Man, it's just so terrifying,

752
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:02,079
like put yourself in Ben Richards's shoes, were like like yeah, okay, Michael, Michael,

753
00:38:02,119 --> 00:38:05,519
Sarah's like, oh, she's deaf, like totally fine, the lights

754
00:38:05,519 --> 00:38:08,199
are off here, totally fine. But then like every moment

755
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,719
she had just like we're gonna fucking kill this motherfucker.

756
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,159
It's like I'd be a little bit nervous too, and

757
00:38:14,199 --> 00:38:17,360
then of course when she confronts him, So yeah, that's fantastic.

758
00:38:18,679 --> 00:38:21,840
A side character that actually got a lot more piece

759
00:38:22,159 --> 00:38:25,480
to the movie, which I was not expecting and didn't

760
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,760
really care for it. Just like nothing against the actress

761
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,880
or anything, but it just was like, where did this

762
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,880
even come from? Is arly? The Actus's name is Amelia Jones.

763
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:39,360
She played I'm a Emilia Williams or whatever you would

764
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,360
say that name. She was the one in like the

765
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,639
self driving car that he like hijacks and then he

766
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,960
just keeps her like hostage the whole movie. And then

767
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,360
she has like a hero turn and like helps him

768
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,400
out and is like with him to the end. You

769
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:51,800
know she jumps out of the plane, I guess. But

770
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,239
just like, like why not just have like a character

771
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,039
we've already been introduced to in this role was kind

772
00:38:59,039 --> 00:39:00,599
of my thought on it, just because like it just

773
00:39:00,599 --> 00:39:03,679
seemed like really quickly to be introduced as character. Okay,

774
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:08,679
she's like a snobby higher up, so blind to the

775
00:39:08,679 --> 00:39:10,800
fact that what's really going on in the world. But also,

776
00:39:11,159 --> 00:39:13,239
you know, play my own devil's advocate. Maybe they wanted

777
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,119
a character like that. It's a showcase like the people

778
00:39:16,199 --> 00:39:18,639
that are well off that are just completely oblivious to that,

779
00:39:18,679 --> 00:39:21,039
because that definitely happens. You know, people get so caught

780
00:39:21,079 --> 00:39:22,920
up in their day to day that they don't really

781
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,800
think about just how others are not doing so well

782
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,840
as them. So yeah, I guess it defend I'm defending

783
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,960
my own point to a certain extent, but still it

784
00:39:32,039 --> 00:39:34,440
just seemed I feel like that was also the part

785
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,280
of the movie where we just had a lot of

786
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,119
stuff going on, like adding on so many extra layers

787
00:39:40,199 --> 00:39:42,840
to like the idea of the running man. Okay, just

788
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,679
survive thirty days and that's it, Like that's really just

789
00:39:45,679 --> 00:39:50,199
what I want. I just want high octane action thirty days.

790
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,440
Let's do it almost like a crank style, like we

791
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,199
don't need any extra juice. It's just these are the rules.

792
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,800
Go fucking play. And then it's just like, oh, but

793
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,599
now we're gonna make you the hunter. You're gonna get real,

794
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,400
Like there's just so many extra layers to make it

795
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,199
more complicated, and I think that's where I just I

796
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,079
wasn't checked out of the movie by any means, but

797
00:40:08,119 --> 00:40:10,239
I was just less gripped by the story and uh

798
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,800
and what was happening there, And because I was going

799
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,800
through those moments, that's when you get introduced to this

800
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,400
Amelia character that I wasn't necessarily vib with no shouts,

801
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,360
no shots against her. I think she was really good,

802
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,239
but just a weird thing to just have in the story.

803
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,519
So it's my little piece there.

804
00:40:29,519 --> 00:40:33,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I feel like if there's a character like

805
00:40:33,559 --> 00:40:36,880
that was introduced earlier on, then it would make sense.

806
00:40:37,199 --> 00:40:39,480
But at the point where she was introduced, it was

807
00:40:39,519 --> 00:40:42,760
definitely like the cusp of the ending of the second act.

808
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,760
Going into the third act, it's like, Okay, here's a

809
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,000
new like main character. She's getting a lot of a

810
00:40:48,039 --> 00:40:50,679
lot of scenes, and she plays a pretty important role

811
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:55,239
with Glenn Powell's mission here at the end. But yeah,

812
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,000
then they just send her out in the parachute and

813
00:40:58,039 --> 00:40:59,960
she has one last line into the TV like stop

814
00:41:00,039 --> 00:41:03,119
fucking filming me. So it was definitely like she came

815
00:41:03,199 --> 00:41:06,760
as she left as quickly as she came. So yeah,

816
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,039
but I appreciate that they were able to showcase and

817
00:41:09,199 --> 00:41:11,920
maybe it was supposed to be like a foreshadow showing that, Okay,

818
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,400
people can change. Once people kind of break off and

819
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,639
they stop watching that garbage and they kind of just

820
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,280
like get a little bit more taste of reality and

821
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,320
they see things. They see things with their own eyes

822
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:26,000
instead of watching the TV and being told they're seeing

823
00:41:26,039 --> 00:41:29,760
something in real life and making a decision based on

824
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,679
that information that they see for themselves and how they

825
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,599
interpret it. Which, you know, the network didn't want any

826
00:41:35,639 --> 00:41:39,559
of these public head haun shows to go in there

827
00:41:39,599 --> 00:41:41,280
and get the kills right. It has to be done

828
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,639
on network TV has to follow this certain certain code.

829
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,920
So uh yeah, yeah, I liked I like, I liked

830
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,280
her for the most part, but it definitely story wise,

831
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:52,360
it was kind of out of place.

832
00:41:54,800 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 1: Agreed. I guess the other thing we didn't talk about, actually,

833
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,280
let's talk about the Hunters here. We have like some

834
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,039
character Hunters. I think they have like a set number.

835
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,880
It's like the five Hunters. I feel like they're making

836
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,880
Glenn Pall the sixth. A lot of emphasis on on

837
00:42:15,039 --> 00:42:19,440
Lee Pace's character Evan McCone. Apparently that was his name,

838
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,079
I don't know, the Ski mask guy. I had a

839
00:42:22,079 --> 00:42:24,360
lot of yeah, as I already mentioned, just theories of

840
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,119
who was gonna be behind the mask. I feel like

841
00:42:26,119 --> 00:42:28,519
when the reveal happened, I was just like, oh, okay,

842
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,079
Like I don't know that like should have should have

843
00:42:32,119 --> 00:42:34,079
had a bigger effect maybe, like maybe they should have

844
00:42:34,079 --> 00:42:37,639
shown like I did like the reveal that he was

845
00:42:37,679 --> 00:42:41,920
the original runner from season one that made it twenty

846
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,719
nine days kind of had one of those thoughts bounce around.

847
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,199
I'm not gonna say I figured it out, but it

848
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,159
just seemed like a likely scenario, especially when it wasn't

849
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,360
Arnie or you know, it wasn't Josh Brolin. It's like, okay, yeah,

850
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,239
this guy's probably just the og runner, which he was.

851
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,159
I don't know. I found their boss battle to you

852
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,159
like a little bit anti climactic, but it was okay,

853
00:43:03,199 --> 00:43:08,400
I guess for for the overall story. Yeah, yeah, I'll.

854
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:12,079
Speaker 2: Say it was climactic as well. It definitely was just

855
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,119
you know, it was on a plane, and I thought

856
00:43:14,159 --> 00:43:16,400
it was clever to him doing the parachute stunt. But yeah,

857
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,400
it wasn't anything to really write home about.

858
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: Remind me of like Alien or like Alien four specifically

859
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,960
when like the hybrid gets sucked out in the space. Yeah,

860
00:43:26,599 --> 00:43:28,639
I was waiting for him to just get sucked out,

861
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:36,119
but no, they didn't have that. Yeah. Something else I

862
00:43:36,119 --> 00:43:39,440
was gonna say was what was I gonna say?

863
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:39,639
Speaker 2: Oh?

864
00:43:40,159 --> 00:43:43,599
Speaker 1: Uh, the other your Hunter character, the one that stabs

865
00:43:44,679 --> 00:43:47,719
Michael Sarah and he's like, I'm slash your achilles. Yeah

866
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:52,440
you mind him? I like, okay. It's one thing for

867
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,880
Ben Richards to want to like say fuck you to

868
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,679
the network, like I'm not going to execute this guy

869
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,480
in front of the camera, like for your own show.

870
00:44:00,519 --> 00:44:02,320
So he turns and shoots the camera. It's like a

871
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,960
big cool moment there. But like at the same time,

872
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,119
if he kills his hunter, doesn't his family get like

873
00:44:07,119 --> 00:44:09,199
an extra like ten grand or something like why would

874
00:44:09,199 --> 00:44:11,199
he not just do that if this guy's already chasing

875
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,480
him And then literally like three minutes later they have

876
00:44:13,559 --> 00:44:17,480
this like fucking a Night's Tale jousting match on the bridge.

877
00:44:18,119 --> 00:44:21,360
It's just like this is so bizarre to me, Like

878
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,000
I don't know, like he's already killed so many people,

879
00:44:24,039 --> 00:44:26,119
just fucking execute this guy who's like already like a

880
00:44:26,159 --> 00:44:28,360
psycho killer. He's hunted him down all the times. It

881
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,480
just seems so unnecessary for him to not kill him

882
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,639
there and then to just kill him afterwards with the

883
00:44:32,679 --> 00:44:34,719
giant pipe bombs and the jeep.

884
00:44:35,599 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 2: I'd say circumstances changed. Michael Sarah gets killed at this point,

885
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,719
and so maybe there's a few things to just kind

886
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:46,920
of change change for him. But I do agree.

887
00:44:47,079 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: They do try to like build up that he's like

888
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,039
a hero character. You know, he's been he's been fired

889
00:44:53,079 --> 00:44:56,280
because he saved a guy on like the oil offshore

890
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,760
oil rigs that like fired me because they broke the harness.

891
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,079
Just just like oh yeah, just grimy fucking business deals.

892
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,320
But like at the start, when he's going to training

893
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,800
day essentially, and he's like in the lineup and this

894
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,679
guy just like coughs up blood passes out, and he's like,

895
00:45:11,679 --> 00:45:13,559
we had a fucking doctor over here. Like it just

896
00:45:13,559 --> 00:45:16,320
seems so random that this is happening, and they just

897
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,280
they just and this guy's just immune to electricity. He

898
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,760
just fucking palms all these electric batons and like they

899
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,280
just beat the shit out of him. He's like back

900
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,199
to the line and that's all that happens. So it's like, Okay, yeah,

901
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:31,519
that was a necessary little detour there. Uh it was

902
00:45:31,599 --> 00:45:34,119
kind of goofy to me, but I guess they're putting

903
00:45:34,119 --> 00:45:35,880
the point across. He's a hero. He's a good guy.

904
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:40,239
But yeah, he's no problem killing many people after the

905
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,440
fact there, which I guess wasn't all his fault. Right

906
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,000
when when they're in the house that explodes, he's like,

907
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,280
he takes a quick moment and say stop shooting. The

908
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,480
house is gonna blow. It's like, hey, these guys are

909
00:45:50,519 --> 00:45:53,239
not fucking listening to you, like they're they have fucking

910
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,440
memories bring back memories in their air pods as they're

911
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,719
just mowing down with their giant machine guns in this

912
00:45:58,800 --> 00:45:59,480
house right now.

913
00:46:00,079 --> 00:46:00,760
Speaker 2: Uh.

914
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 1: Man, I heard that song the other day in the wild,

915
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,840
and I was like, I kind of forgot that was

916
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:06,599
a real song because I just think of the fucking

917
00:46:06,639 --> 00:46:14,880
Venom Venom three outro. But yeah, memory memories bringing back you.

918
00:46:15,159 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 2: I won't forget you, buddy.

919
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: What's so echoey?

920
00:46:18,559 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 2: It's because we got the two previews going on, so we.

921
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,280
Speaker 1: Oh, I know it screws with you. I won't forget you, buddy.

922
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:28,199
Speaker 2: Yeah.

923
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,679
Speaker 1: And then I mean we're kind of just bouncing places

924
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,000
to places I'm going I'm gonna keep bouncing here. Uh.

925
00:46:35,079 --> 00:46:36,960
I didn't really talk about too much the opening with

926
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,360
his family. I I thought him and his his his wife.

927
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:45,840
Jamie Lawson is the actress's name. Who is she in Marvel?

928
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,360
Is she a Marvel character? Like? Is she like Photon

929
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:49,880
or whatever her name is? Spectrum?

930
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:51,159
Speaker 2: Ah?

931
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 1: Let's she looked really familiar.

932
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 2: She's in The Batman, She's in Sinners.

933
00:46:56,679 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: Okay, let's see. So in the Batman she's the president.

934
00:47:01,519 --> 00:47:04,880
So we just saw her in Sinners. But I thought

935
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:05,480
there was something else.

936
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 2: We just saw her in The Woman King.

937
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: Okay, she's really good. Not a lot of stuff for

938
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:17,079
her to do in this movie, unfortunately, but yeah, I

939
00:47:17,119 --> 00:47:19,679
don't know. I thought they still a good chemistry. And

940
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,320
this is where like, Okay, it's pretty quick for him to, oh,

941
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,519
my child's sick, can't do too much. I'm gonna go

942
00:47:27,559 --> 00:47:29,800
do the Running Man, and like there's so much emphasis

943
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:31,280
on like, oh, I'm not gonna do the Running Man.

944
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,000
I just do a different game show, which was reminding

945
00:47:34,039 --> 00:47:37,880
me of White Men Can't Jump and Woody Harrelson's girlfriend

946
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:39,920
in that movie. That's like all about the wheel of

947
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:44,920
fortune that they just give me that vibes because he's

948
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,800
like studying the games. But it just seemed like one

949
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,000
of those things where it's like, Okay, the movie's called

950
00:47:50,039 --> 00:47:52,400
Running Man starring Glen Palell. We know he's gonna be

951
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,440
the Running Man. Why are we fucking doing this dance?

952
00:47:54,599 --> 00:47:56,599
Just get him on the Running Man. So I even

953
00:47:56,639 --> 00:47:59,199
though he was short, I still was like, man, this

954
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,119
isn't short enough. Just give me the Running Man. I

955
00:48:02,159 --> 00:48:05,239
felt similarly to the original one and this one. So

956
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:11,840
that's just my thoughts on the structure of the Runnyman there. Nice. Nice.

957
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 2: I don't think I have anything really else to that,

958
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:18,440
to be honest.

959
00:48:19,199 --> 00:48:22,519
Speaker 1: Any big action set piece scenes that stood.

960
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:26,159
Speaker 2: Out to you, ah, my goodness.

961
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,679
Speaker 1: I did like the scene when he's he gets like

962
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:32,280
the hotel and then he flees like boss or something

963
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:36,280
gets the grimy hotel and there's like that homeless guy

964
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,880
out by the like the mailbox is just going crazy,

965
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:41,840
and then he just like keeps looking up in the window.

966
00:48:42,159 --> 00:48:44,000
That was a pretty freaky little moment there. And then

967
00:48:44,039 --> 00:48:47,000
he goes and checks again and it's buddy, it's emin

968
00:48:47,159 --> 00:48:50,079
him just looking at him in the window. Uh. He

969
00:48:50,199 --> 00:48:51,880
was just really selling it. Man, he was. He was

970
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:57,239
fucking crazy. He was, he was pulling it off.

971
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:00,199
Speaker 2: But yeah, and I like that scene. I like that lot,

972
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,960
and definitely freaky, considering that just at any point they

973
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:05,719
can just fucking get you. And how they were just

974
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,920
lighting up outside his door. He noticed that they were

975
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,360
coming and everything like that, And yeah, him just being

976
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,239
but ass naked and hanging off the y up on

977
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,360
the roof and him going down trying to get back

978
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:19,760
into his room and get his gear, like he learns

979
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,599
as he goes. But even staying at that fancy hotel

980
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,400
for as long as he did that, I was just

981
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,039
freaking out thinking about that, like God, damn, you gotta

982
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:29,760
you gotta keep moving. But he played it smart, like, oh,

983
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:31,599
sign me up for three more days of this hotel.

984
00:49:31,639 --> 00:49:34,679
But every time he didn't send a letter, they were

985
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:37,519
always on him when the show was about to start streaming,

986
00:49:37,599 --> 00:49:39,079
right our show was about to go live.

987
00:49:39,199 --> 00:49:41,280
Speaker 1: Because I had to do them daily. So that tells

988
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,159
me that he wouldn't have missed one. I don't think

989
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:43,719
he did.

990
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 2: But the last time he did one, we didn't see one.

991
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,440
After he went he's supposed to go to the bunker

992
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,320
and he was in the development and he put the

993
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,159
envelope down. He's like, you nail it for me.

994
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

995
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 2: I think that's the last one that he did.

996
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a good little moment there. Uh. It

997
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,079
seems like such like a hard thing to do, like

998
00:50:01,679 --> 00:50:05,159
because people could just fucking camp the mail boxes, you know, and.

999
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,119
Speaker 2: I think that's what they do, right, and they's already

1000
00:50:07,119 --> 00:50:07,840
aerosol thing.

1001
00:50:08,199 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's already so like so hard. It's it's literally

1002
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:15,360
like playing Warzone and you get the most wanted bounty,

1003
00:50:15,599 --> 00:50:17,280
you know, and then you're just running till you till

1004
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,840
your squads revive. Like that's that's literally what this game is.

1005
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,519
The cards are not in your favor. But yeah, that

1006
00:50:23,519 --> 00:50:25,800
that was an added step where I'm like, fuck, this

1007
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,199
is hard enough. Yeah, hey, what's your strategy? You don't

1008
00:50:29,199 --> 00:50:32,480
have to, you know it, give deep specifics, you know,

1009
00:50:32,679 --> 00:50:34,360
if this is really real and you're trying to keep

1010
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,519
it close to chess, But have you thought about it?

1011
00:50:36,519 --> 00:50:38,599
You get twelve hours head noticed. I think they gave

1012
00:50:38,639 --> 00:50:41,000
you the change of clothes and all your gear that

1013
00:50:41,039 --> 00:50:42,679
you need to do your mailing videos.

1014
00:50:44,079 --> 00:50:46,679
Speaker 2: Twelve hours. I could make a dent for sure. I would.

1015
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,159
I do the pre recording stuff, and I would find

1016
00:50:50,199 --> 00:50:53,000
someone I could trust to drop these things off.

1017
00:50:53,039 --> 00:50:55,280
Speaker 1: I think that's the play boxes, getting people to drop

1018
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:55,679
them for you.

1019
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just got to make sure you can hold

1020
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,880
out somewhere for thirty days, which I've got a couple

1021
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,039
of places that I know too where I could I

1022
00:51:03,039 --> 00:51:06,000
could hold out. But uh, yeah, it's getting the layers

1023
00:51:06,039 --> 00:51:08,320
in the mailbox that's gonna be the most hardest part.

1024
00:51:08,639 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, And like I get it, he like lives in

1025
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,559
the city, so like he's he's going off city strategy strategies.

1026
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:18,280
We're pretty spoiled here in the BC Wilderness. I'm like, fuck,

1027
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,719
I could just go in those deep woods and no

1028
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,880
one's gonna fucking find me. Sam squanch is gonna find

1029
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:24,639
me before these fuckers find me. I'm gonna come out

1030
00:51:24,679 --> 00:51:27,400
of the woods my billion dollars and my my bigfoot

1031
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:32,280
Pelton and uh we'll be rocking because it just seems like, yeah,

1032
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,519
you just go to somewhere super isolated and you're totally fine.

1033
00:51:35,559 --> 00:51:40,000
But key thing is, uh get those mail boxes. And

1034
00:51:40,159 --> 00:51:42,360
we all know Canada Post is striking every fucking day

1035
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,079
here up in Canada, so my mail probably wouldn't even

1036
00:51:45,079 --> 00:51:49,199
get delivered. And I probably won't get any money, but that's right. Yeah,

1037
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,400
and I will say too, like the little training montage

1038
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,840
I did enjoy. It was a little like Wipeout and

1039
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:57,320
Fuse with some MXC and fuse with some like squid

1040
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:00,880
game type type things where they have like their get ups.

1041
00:52:01,039 --> 00:52:02,559
I've found it funny how they like going to get

1042
00:52:02,559 --> 00:52:04,360
their track suits and it just has like the game

1043
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,599
show that they're going on, like on their on their

1044
00:52:07,679 --> 00:52:08,679
jackets on the back.

1045
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:09,039
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1046
00:52:09,119 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I did like that portion of it, the

1047
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:16,679
little training montage sequence which he was killing it. You know,

1048
00:52:17,079 --> 00:52:19,000
he would be the running man. He won like every

1049
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:20,199
competition I think they showed.

1050
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he sure.

1051
00:52:23,599 --> 00:52:26,119
Speaker 1: Did all right. Closing thoughts Taylor.

1052
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:32,079
Speaker 2: Closing thoughts paralleling what I said at the start. I think, yeah,

1053
00:52:32,119 --> 00:52:33,719
you could see this in theaters, but if you only

1054
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,400
have enough money to go to one movie this month

1055
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,320
in the theaters, I go see Right or bad Lands.

1056
00:52:38,599 --> 00:52:42,840
I think Glenn Powell was an absolutely knockout in this movie.

1057
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:44,719
I think he was definitely bringing.

1058
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: He's looking fine too when they had him in that bathrobe. Shreds.

1059
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:53,599
Speaker 2: Yeah and yeah. Shout outs obviously to Domingo and Josh

1060
00:52:53,639 --> 00:52:57,039
Brolin and then all the other characters and cast members

1061
00:52:57,039 --> 00:52:59,559
in here, because I think that they definitely were able

1062
00:52:59,559 --> 00:53:03,000
to do a good job at building this universe iuort

1063
00:53:03,039 --> 00:53:06,559
of building this world and really selling it while it

1064
00:53:06,639 --> 00:53:10,280
being a bit zany and dystopian, I still really enjoyed it.

1065
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:14,840
And yeah, I think my only con really would be

1066
00:53:15,039 --> 00:53:19,320
the what was my con that I had earlier?

1067
00:53:24,079 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: Sorry, I don't remember.

1068
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't remember either, but I know it's there.

1069
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:32,599
I know there's a con. Yeah, I would say if

1070
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,039
you could go see it in theaters, like I said earlier,

1071
00:53:35,039 --> 00:53:37,159
but this is one I'm not going to be revisiting

1072
00:53:37,159 --> 00:53:38,880
in theaters. Is the one I'm gonna wait and probably

1073
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,360
put on the background is just some filler noise or

1074
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,760
something when it comes to streaming, or I'll put it

1075
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,800
on and I'll get it, get a watch it with

1076
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,400
my wife whatnot, because I think there's parts of it

1077
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,280
that she would enjoy. Obviously there's a lot of gory

1078
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:56,960
parts that are graphic. But in terms of rating, I

1079
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,840
think I would go a seven and a half out

1080
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:02,519
of ten. I feel pretty good about that.

1081
00:54:03,639 --> 00:54:11,599
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, seven and a half very reasonable. Oh gosh,

1082
00:54:11,639 --> 00:54:14,039
I think I'm gonna go seven point seventy five here,

1083
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,440
not quite to an eight might be a little bit lower,

1084
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,199
but uh and I said this, there's like a good time,

1085
00:54:19,679 --> 00:54:24,679
really solid, good action flick like like like nothing that

1086
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,320
really brings down other than like the third act, and

1087
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,519
I think across the board there could have just been

1088
00:54:30,559 --> 00:54:32,440
a little bit of extra pizaz to it. I don't

1089
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,000
really know what that is. I think just a little

1090
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:40,000
bit more flavorful uh script, maybe as blanket as that sounds,

1091
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,800
not very specific there, but yeah, I just wanted more

1092
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:48,039
of Rolin, more of Domingo, more like maybe less of

1093
00:54:48,079 --> 00:54:50,400
the family, and like more of some other stuff. So

1094
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,599
I think I just needed some rearrange of things, even

1095
00:54:52,639 --> 00:54:54,800
though I did like the overall pieces that were there,

1096
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:57,719
and by the third act, when they were just really

1097
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,440
trying to over complicate things, like I don't need this,

1098
00:55:00,559 --> 00:55:02,400
Like you could have literally just have him doing the

1099
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:05,400
running Man and then he just he just gets more

1100
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,280
cohorts that help him out to the point that like

1101
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,840
he still has his little revolutionary thing that's like brewing

1102
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,079
as it's going on, and it's it's not you know,

1103
00:55:13,599 --> 00:55:15,719
the fucking fighter jet that's going into the building and

1104
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,800
then they say they're gonna defend it with a miscule,

1105
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:20,320
and then it just cuts to black and then he

1106
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,440
just survives somehow and it's like the Joker to or

1107
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,920
something where he just has all his revolutionaries everywhere. Yeah,

1108
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:31,199
it just seemed way too much for not really a

1109
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,719
good payoff there, So I think that's why I'm I'm

1110
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,360
down in the sevens but still seven point five, you're

1111
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,360
seven point five. We definitely both enjoyed it enough, and

1112
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:43,559
uh it's good theater flick, good popcorn movie, and uh yeah,

1113
00:55:43,599 --> 00:55:45,320
I'll definitely put this on at some point in the

1114
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,519
future when I get it on streaming. It's just there's

1115
00:55:47,559 --> 00:55:51,719
some fun moments in it for sure. Nice already, folks.

1116
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,079
That is all we have today for The Running Man

1117
00:55:54,119 --> 00:55:58,840
spoilers GV six seven nine.

1118
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 2: Sacks, some sacks.

1119
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:04,119
Speaker 1: Episode seven nins. I don't really know what we have next,

1120
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:07,519
so until then we will see either. Bye.
