Hate Watching with Dan and Tony

Hate Watching Uglies

What if living in dorms until the age of 16 and undergoing surgery to become "pretty" was the societal norm? Join us as we humorously unravel the perplexing world of "Uglies," the movie adaptation of the beloved book series. With a dystopian society fueled by poppy flowers and devoid of parents, our critique pinpoints the peculiarities of this bizarre universe. We draw parallels with "The Hunger Games," questioning the execution of the film's plot and its inexplicable elements, all while laughing along the way.

As we navigate through the story, we challenge the logic behind the brain-altering processes aimed at compliance and attractiveness, scrutinizing Dr. Cable's seemingly unfathomable motivations. With witty banter, we expose the irony of the characters looking less appealing after their transformation and the absurdity of beauty-centric societal norms. Our exploration doesn't stop there, as we also delve into unrelated but entertaining topics like our recent obsession with Nintendo's Pokemon TCG Pocket and the comedic intrigue of Chris Rock's "Head of State."

Amidst our roller-coaster discussion, we share whimsical critiques of movie tropes, such as a blood pact between friends and a far-fetched thriller involving a paralyzed woman communicating by blinking. Whether it's imagining fantastical hoverboard adventures or poking fun at storyline absurdities, our episode promises a lively, thought-provoking ride. Packed with laughs and personal anecdotes, this episode offers a playful yet critical examination of the storytelling choices in "Uglies" and beyond.

Speaker 1:

So you finished the movie.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we jumped literally about four minutes ago.

Speaker 1:

The good news is there's like 17 minutes of credits.

Speaker 2:

Well. So when I texted you I was like I'm going to lie and be like I'll probably just stop it early. And then the movie ended with four minutes to spare and I was like cool that's great, there was a lot of credits.

Speaker 1:

I was like, oh nice, a lot of people worked on it All right.

Speaker 2:

On it all right. It's very pretty and not very ugly and not for real. There's like one ugly person in the whole movie. It's there and I won't. I won't single them out, but there was one ugly person in the movie and I was like that person should be the lead of the film.

Speaker 3:

Hate watching with Dan and Tony. It's like watching hell.

Speaker 1:

Welcome to Hate. Watching with Dan and Tony. I'm Dan, I'm Tony, and on this show we watch movies. We watch the latest, the greatest and the most hatest movies.

Speaker 2:

We're so hip, you know.

Speaker 1:

This week I got to pick the movie and I picked the Uglies based on Is it?

Speaker 2:

The Uglies, or is it just Uglies?

Speaker 1:

It is just Uglies, you're correct.

Speaker 2:

I keep calling it the Uglies and I keep getting corrected in this household.

Speaker 1:

Uh-oh, I have a feeling someone in the household read the book. She did she did indeed. All four books and then all the three new books.

Speaker 2:

She read all four books and then all the three new books. She read all seven. Definitely not the new books. She read the originals and she was not a fan.

Speaker 1:

She was not a fan of the originals. Yeah, she didn't like. She read four books based on this.

Speaker 2:

I don't know if she read all four. I know she read the first two, which is Uglies Pretties, but I'm not too up to date on her whole library. It's vast.

Speaker 1:

So Ugly's is one of these books that was written after Hunger Games, I assume. I think it was before.

Speaker 2:

I think this was like one of the first.

Speaker 1:

I'm pretty sure so.

Speaker 2:

Hunger Games ripped this off well, I think it was more like they were like oh, I see what you're trying to do. It's dumb, but I can make it less dumb.

Speaker 1:

Yes, that's kind of what the that's, the uglies came and presented a really stupid idea done badly, and then hunger games was like well, we're going to do this moderately, okay enough so that it can happen for sure, yeah, yeah. I tried watching the new Hunger Games movie like the prequel one or something yeah pretty good, you loved it. You thought it was really good. You loved it. Can't say I finished it can't finish it.

Speaker 2:

That's never a good sign.

Speaker 1:

Fell asleep multiple times.

Speaker 2:

Oh sure Sure.

Speaker 1:

So Uglies is going to present us with a world of the future where everyone that's under 16 is normal looking and lives in magic dorms and doesn't really know their parents. Not sure how all that works.

Speaker 2:

Well, you know, because your parents just ship you off to boarding school because you're too ugly to live. Is that what it is?

Speaker 1:

Okay, wait. So I have a question.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, okay.

Speaker 1:

You know someone that read the books and maybe she could answer this.

Speaker 2:

Well, she's not here, but I'll do my best, Dan.

Speaker 1:

So under 16s, they're there for four years. So they're there from 12 to 16 or so. Yeah, they live in the ugly dorms, the brutalist dorms, and they look across the river and they see the beautiful town that all the pretties live in, because when you get to be 16, they operate on you and give you plastic surgery so you're attractive. They can watch all the beautiful people having a big beautiful party 24 24, 7. They're over there partying fireworks every minute. Yeah, where are their parents?

Speaker 2:

uh, well, I assume their parents are in a different part of town where, like, the old people, all get together as well. You know, because you don't want to, you don't want to mix ages, you know that would be weird. So so 12 to 16 are in the in the ugly dorms. Yeah, 16 to like probably 21 you know, they only get five years in there you only get five years to be pretty and then and then they send you off to like a third place probably.

Speaker 1:

That's like classy dinners and you know boring shit so that's the series of books we want to read, which is like what? Old town, old town, old town, I'm in so, you know, we hear very little about these parents, you know, and it's like if you were stripped from your parents when you're 12.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it would mean something well, I mean you're gonna have some psychological issues probably you know some, some sadness to you, but we wipe it out no, just forget about that yeah, it's fine you know kids, kids separation anxiety, it's fine and so then you get to live in this magical place, and then they created an infinite power source, which is poppies. Poppy flowers are this infinite power source. That's what it is. Poppy flowers. Do you know what poppy flowers are really used for? Tony?

Speaker 2:

Making poppy seed buns for my burgers. Opium, oh sure, my poppy fields, yeah, yeah, no, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

So I thought this was gonna shift into that is some drugs opium dealers, but no, no, instead we're just gonna.

Speaker 2:

It's gonna become like an environmentalist issue a little bit dude. Interesting this this movie.

Speaker 1:

Whatever this movie's a mess. So yeah, so the fossil fuels ruined the world. There were the rusties, who are the old people that I love I kind I'm a Rusty as a nickname.

Speaker 2:

I would be a Rusty any day of the week. I like it.

Speaker 1:

The problem with these movies is that someone movies and books. Is that someone stupid made up all these names?

Speaker 2:

Sure.

Speaker 1:

It's just when you really start at that point, yeah, it's just, it's just never going to recover yeah I mean that's I, I get it, I get.

Speaker 2:

I don't know if I would say that that's the main core issue, uh, but I understand what you're saying.

Speaker 1:

It's, it's, you're off on, you're off to a bad start and uh, the other thing, of course, is when everybody's pretty, then there's no more conflict, because pretty people never conflict with each other.

Speaker 2:

Okay, so this is my biggest, my biggest confusion of the movie. Right, because they're like oh, once, once, you're pretty, all of our differences basically disappear, but like we don't make everyone look the same, nope, right, like we still have race and gender and like we have like all of the social structures are still there, you're just cosmetically enhanced.

Speaker 2:

Yes, that doesn't actually take away any of the reasons I dislike people. I don't dislike people because they're ugly, you know like I know it's weird, it doesn't make any sense. Like America's, not like boy Russians are real ugly. We should start a Cold War with those uggos. Nothing to do with it.

Speaker 1:

Well, the thing you got to remember is everything in a story like this is filtered through the brain of a 15-year-old girl.

Speaker 2:

I mean sure.

Speaker 1:

No hold on as a 15-year-old girl myself.

Speaker 2:

Hold on, let me 15-year-old girl myself.

Speaker 1:

Hold on, Let me rephrase that.

Speaker 2:

This is all filtered through the mind of a middle-aged white man trying to imagine their 15-year-old girl Now there you go, therein lies the crux, probably A guy that really never really went through any of this and it's weird, it's pretty weird.

Speaker 1:

No truth to anything you know no truth to anything. You know no truth making things up because you you talk to girls and you know who girls conflict with all the time girls other girls. Yes, exactly, girls don't conflict with dudes. They they like dudes don't even really exist. Dudes are just no, they're just objects that they may have, either control them or be controlled by them or, to be fair, we're pretty stupid men, boys. You know what I mean. Basically, we don't care about the things they carry.

Speaker 2:

We don't provide much in the intellectual categories, not really.

Speaker 1:

Not really. So just the whole idea that everyone over on Magic Island is going to have perfect lives because they're all good looking, You're like. No, there's always going to be the person that's more good looking, good looking.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I've seen the Housewives of Beverly Hills right Now. Those are some, you know, I guess, subjectively attractive people that are cosmetically enhanced and they don't really get along very well.

Speaker 1:

Not at any moment do they ever get along. So you know, your whole premise is just busted from the beginning, and what we're going to find out later is that when you go through the process they damage your brain with lesions. I mean, it's a frontal lobotomy right.

Speaker 2:

Like is that pretty much the same thing?

Speaker 1:

No, it's not a frontal lobotomy, because there's just lesions on your brain, lesions that can be solved with magic potion.

Speaker 2:

I mean we need to be able to reverse it so that it can't be a lobotomy. That's true. I can't just fill that back in. That'd be cool though.

Speaker 1:

So everyone is made to be compliant and made to be brain damaged so that they can be controlled.

Speaker 2:

By who and what Dr.

Speaker 1:

Cable.

Speaker 2:

You're like is it just DC over there? I don't understand the plan here. Who is benefiting from everyone falling in line, dr Cable, but why?

Speaker 3:

Can you?

Speaker 2:

tell me what makes Dr Cable happy about controlling people. I just don't understand the plan.

Speaker 1:

If you're in charge of everyone, then you're in charge of everyone. People like that.

Speaker 2:

Are they paying money to Dr Cable to live there?

Speaker 1:

No, but she gets to tell everybody what to do.

Speaker 2:

But it doesn't seem like Dr Cable is telling people what to do other than to be pretty, like once they're pretty. It doesn't seem like there's a grander plan.

Speaker 1:

To make everyone pretty, and then she'll be in control of everyone. She's like a cult leader. It's like a cult leader thing.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I guess I just don't see the benefit of it. And where is? Is this the only colony left?

Speaker 1:

No, there's multiple cities, supposedly.

Speaker 2:

Okay, so there's multiple leaders and they all just have their own pretty hives? Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 1:

What is the they all?

Speaker 2:

just have their own pretty hives. Yeah, exactly. I don't know what the point is. Why Do they get together once a month and just talk about it? I don't get it.

Speaker 1:

If you look at the terrible leaders we have, well, yeah, they all just care about money.

Speaker 2:

They care about money, they care about oil.

Speaker 1:

They care about something.

Speaker 2:

But they also care about power and control.

Speaker 1:

I mean, that's true I just don't get it.

Speaker 2:

It's usually stupid. I just feel like let's take Hunger Games, for example. At least they're like the 1% right, Like they're staying rich by keeping people down. I get the hierarchy there In this world. It doesn't seem like that's what it is because they're just like, well, we're going to make you pretty and dumb.

Speaker 1:

Well, world, it doesn't seem like that's what it is because they're just like well, we're gonna make you pretty and dumb. Well, the higher the hierarchy, and then there's no other step to the process. As far as I can tell, there's no real hierarchy, because you're like who's who's doing the farms? Who's who's right? Who's making the fireworks? You know they have fireworks going off over there. Who's the? Who's the schlub that sits in the firework factory? Who's?

Speaker 2:

the pretty person that gets the terrible job.

Speaker 1:

I don't know I don't get it.

Speaker 2:

Because the classism still exists in there. It has to Because some people have to do shitty jobs, some people have to do great jobs, some people probably don't have jobs. I don't know. I don't understand the world.

Speaker 1:

And they do not do any work to explain it to you. No, and they do not do any work to explain it to you. No.

Speaker 2:

I'm curious if the book does better. If anyone's read that book, let me know. I doubt it.

Speaker 1:

I think all the people that read the book and the reviews I read are angry, Angry oh okay, well, that's great then. But you know these are wish fulfillment books, right? You're like, whose wishes? Oh, because teenage girls are all like I wish I was pretty. I can understand the conundrum of wanting to be myself or be pretty and the struggle that that would be. Kids like that I mean here's my other big problem. Yeah, that's your other big problem.

Speaker 2:

Give me your other big problem and my other big problem, dan, is that everyone pre-surgery is more attractive than themselves. Post-surgery they all get uglier and weirder looking. Yeah, every single one of them. Yes, that that movie falls apart. That movie like I don't put process. Do like a she's all that thing. Give Joey King glasses, maybe, I don't know. Do something to just make it seem like she's ugly, because when she turns into this weird AI gold piece of shit at the end I was like, well, she's terrifying she is. She is way scarier than she was just five minutes ago.

Speaker 1:

Well, I I agree with you, but I disagree with you because I think nose slash. Paris is the the real thing we have to look at, because she at least is like yeah, she's attractive girl. She turns into a girl. That's like looks like you've airbrushed her, yeah I'm like that's fine. You know there's a little bit of a difference. You know her skin looks different. You know skin she looks faker she just looks less.

Speaker 2:

She looks less human and less attractive. That seems weird and yeah, okay, continue.

Speaker 1:

The dude knows Knows yeah or petty.

Speaker 2:

He becomes like a freak he becomes like a 90s teen television, sci-fi, horror television monster, like he's like an old vampire that like we used to put as the bad guy in movie. He's not better looking. He doesn't become like a sex symbol. He was cute. He was cute it was in the beginning and then he's just weird as fuck.

Speaker 1:

The rest of the movie. He's got big, weird cheekbones.

Speaker 2:

So wouldn't Joey King's character have seen him pre and then post and been like, well, something's wrong here because this is not what I signed up for. I wanted to have sex with you earlier and now I do not. That seems backwards.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and my favorite part of him. At one point they're showing him and his one eye is wide open and his other eyes sort of half shut.

Speaker 2:

I'm like which is interesting because that's how they described joey king. That's why they call her squint and I. I only saw her do that one time, but I feel like I saw him do it 12 times post-surgery yeah, so so you have your real name and then you have your your nickname which your, which is your flaw.

Speaker 2:

Have your nickname, which is your flaw, I don't know which is your flaw, and her nickname is Squint and I did not see that scene where she seemed to squint, so I never saw her squint, so I was like so she was talking to somebody who was on her left hand side and she turned and her left eye was squintier than her right eye while she looked at him and I was like I think that's just how eyes work. However, it does show that she's squinting in one and not in the other, but that was.

Speaker 1:

I think it was just on accident see now what they should have done was I'm sure the character in the book's name is squint- and so you know it has to be yeah you should have thrown that in the trash and you should have made up something else like, like you know, button nose or like.

Speaker 2:

Button nose, dirty ears, squirrel cheeks.

Speaker 1:

Squirrel cheeks. You know something terrible. You know that sort of accentuates, something that is a little lesser on her.

Speaker 2:

And then what about skinny? I don't understand.

Speaker 1:

Who's skinny Is that, Shay yeah?

Speaker 2:

Shay Shay's called skinny. She's not like Unhealthily skinny. She's not skinnier Than all the other people, she just looks.

Speaker 1:

Pretty normal. Gotta tell you something In our society and in that Society, being skinny not a negative thing.

Speaker 2:

No, no, it seems like a first of all. There are zero fat people here. By the way, there's a line in this movie when Paris, First of all.

Speaker 1:

There are zero fat people here by the way, there's a line in this movie where Paris is or no?

Speaker 2:

no, no, the David. David is like your society glues you to your screens. You don't move, as he's like doing manual labor. And I was like, if that were true, they would all look like me. I'm addicted to screens. I don't move and this is what it looks like, guys. It doesn't look like Paris. It doesn't look like Joey King, it looks like this as stupid as Ready Player One was sure you buy that kind of thing in that you know Ready Player One, totally dopey movie.

Speaker 1:

But you bought a percent. You know you're like the stupid dystopian world in Ready Player One. You're like, okay, I buy this, that's fine. Ready Player One You're like okay, I buy this.

Speaker 2:

That's fine. Yeah, it makes sense to me. I would totally jump into a video game all the time. Hook me up, baby. Give me a feeding tube, because I'm not getting out.

Speaker 1:

Well, there you go. Okay, we've talked a lot about this movie.

Speaker 2:

Sorry, yeah, I'm sorry. Here we go Back to one.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so here she is. Our girl is Tally. She's looking in the mirror. She's like what do you want? Do you want this, do you want that? Then we find out that she climbs up on the roofs and correct me if I'm wrong. Does it say that she sneaks into the city all the time?

Speaker 2:

later on, so I think that there are different parts of the city, right, and I think each layer becomes more secret Cause, yeah, I think they sneak into the outskirts all the time to kind of look in but, I, don't think. I think she's only really been in once, that one time.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

Okay, I just want to make sure. But Dan, dan, yeah, I have no idea.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I just cause they dropped that information later on and you're like wait, what she acted like when she actually got snuck all the way in. She was like what the hell's happening here?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, man, it's confusing.

Speaker 1:

So she climbs up on the roof and there's her bro knows who is going in tomorrow to become pretty and she's all bummed because she doesn't get to go for three months. Yeah, it's so long, so long. And they both have, like, this shared scar on their hands.

Speaker 2:

Which it seems that they did themselves. It was like a blood pact type of thing, right.

Speaker 1:

Well, the one guy accidentally did it and then whoever the other one did it, to herself or something.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like to match and they're like we're going to be best friends forever. Now it's called a blood pact. I'm telling you that's what it is.

Speaker 1:

Now, usually in these movies what you have is you have a what's that word? You know a differential in attraction, right, so she would be in love with him or he would be in love with her, and then that would be a thing in this thing. They're both just like. We're kind of best friends.

Speaker 2:

We don't really ever consider this, then you have the, the, the dynamic of like. When x is pretty, then I'll like you back. You know what I mean. Like I like you, you don't like me, but when, when I become pretty, we're you're gonna like me back, and that's why I can't wait to be pretty so that we can be together.

Speaker 1:

So he was into her. Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 2:

I'm saying that's what it should have been. I'm not saying I didn't understand their relationship at all.

Speaker 1:

Okay, yeah. Now in the attractional meter, who has the higher ground? Is it her or him? In their ugly face, I would have said he's the more attractive person and that she should be more in love with him.

Speaker 2:

That's how it should be. Yes, because that's our main character. Yeah, she should have to be ugly and want to get prettier.

Speaker 1:

No, no, no, no, the movie doesn't do that. I just mean, when they're both in their ugly, phase, nose and tally, he seems like he's the more attractive one and she should be lusting after him, right? Or she doesn't lust after him because he's not pretty.

Speaker 2:

See, that's the point I think maybe you're overthinking the movie Dan. Okay, I'm overthinking it Because I just don't think that that even exists. You know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

so they should. Their plan is that in 30 days after he gets changed he'll meet her somewhere on the bridge in a way that we don't understand how it could happen right because there's just like a bridge you can go on in between, like, but that seems pretty easy to sneak in.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that seems like bad planning on the city's part.

Speaker 1:

So, boom, the graduation day. And then we find out that there's a secret place out in the hinterlands called the Smoke and there's a dude named David, and, yeah, that's the place where she's going to end up going.

Speaker 2:

That's it, that's the other choice. She going to end up going. That's it, that's the other choice.

Speaker 1:

She's back in her shitty apartment. This is one of my favorite things about the movie. She takes her Toothbrush pill.

Speaker 2:

Oh, for fuck's sake, why would you name it a Toothbrush pill? It's not a brush and a toothbrush isn't what Really cleans your teeth. It's toothpaste. Why would it just not a brush? It's and the toothbrush isn't what really cleans your teeth. It's toothpaste. Why would it just be a toothpaste pill? Why would it be a toothbrush pill? Does it when you pop it in? Is it some harry potter shit? And it like scrubs up your teeth for you? I don't think so. What a terrible name it's. That's embarrassing. That should be rewritten. If I would have wrote the movie, I would have been like're going to make one change from the book, guys, and we can't call it a toothbrush pill, because that's ridiculous.

Speaker 1:

It was great. I loved it. It was great.

Speaker 2:

It's my favorite thing in the world.

Speaker 1:

Now we have the flashback to when they cut their hands.

Speaker 2:

I just don't care. They're in class. They have to give to talk about how the Rusty sucked. What are they learning in school? Just how bad the old world was and how good the new world is. What about math? What about science?

Speaker 1:

No, they're not going to need that, they're going to be partying Because they're pretty people.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and pretty people don't need to learn things.

Speaker 1:

You don't need to trade, let's see. You don't need to trade, let's see. She sneaks out to oh, she sneaks out because she hasn't heard from Nose, so she's like I'm going to sneak to the town. No, no. She sneaks out to go to wait at the bridge. Nose doesn't show up, so then she sneaks across the bridge.

Speaker 2:

So you don't think that they would change their numbers If you go from ugly to pretty, you think you just keep your same phone number. I feel like it's like a fresh start and you get your new number.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

It just seems weird, because their whole point is detaching from the ugly phase of your life.

Speaker 1:

Right, it's pretty easy to give them a new thing.

Speaker 2:

That sort of thing. So like why wouldn't you just get a new phone number so that the people that used to know you can't text you ugly n?

Speaker 1:

yeah it's weird, makes sense it seems weird, I don't know there's a mask laying on the ground, she puts it on.

Speaker 2:

It's a pig, so she's isn't that a fun like metaphor thing?

Speaker 1:

yeah, it's really stupid super weird and then she just it's you know, within minutes finds him on a rooftop party and yeah, like so fast he's good, she's like why didn't you call me? And he's all like you know when you're pretty, you're pretty, and you'll get it when you're pretty. Okay, cool bro.

Speaker 2:

And then my favorite part of the movie happens. What happens? Her face gets scanned and the computer's like ugly person alert. Ugly person alert Police. We have an ugly person. It's great. That's how I feel every day of my life.

Speaker 1:

It says unwelcome individual detected.

Speaker 2:

I'm sorry, unwelcome individual Might as well just say ugly person. She's horrendous Arrest her.

Speaker 1:

Are you okay, tony? Does the world get at you? Do they like people with the parents, with the children, the children point at you.

Speaker 2:

I just want to be pretty Dan.

Speaker 1:

All right.

Speaker 2:

Just give me the surgery, let's go.

Speaker 1:

Well, you can do that all here, right.

Speaker 2:

I don't have any money. All right, you got it. They just do it for free.

Speaker 1:

That's the crazy part, right, they're like well, you're 16. Now you?

Speaker 2:

get all the free cosmetic surgery you want. Congratulations, what a world.

Speaker 1:

So then she's like trying to run away and then she's on the precipice and she jumps off a building. But I guess at some point she stole a bungee jump.

Speaker 2:

I guess when was that hiding? I don't understand man. I think she stole it from somebody.

Speaker 1:

We were just like not paying that much attention. So she jumps and it's like bungee jump, which just means that you don't die when you get to the bottom.

Speaker 2:

Which, by the way, not what a bungee jump is, because a bungee jump you go shooting right back up To where you came from and then you come back down and you shoot back up. She'd be there for five minutes caught, easily caught. That's not a bungee jump.

Speaker 1:

Stupid idiot who wrote this book then she runs, and then she gets to the bridge, and then here come the you know the blade runner, cop cars yeah, yeah, I got it she jumps off or falls off or something's off and then random asian girl saves her on her hoverboard yeah, this was a huge letdown for me.

Speaker 2:

Why was that a letdown? Because the hoverboards were teased in the trailer and I love a good hoverboard and these were bad hoverboards why were they bad? And it just didn't look very good and like when, when we get to the training sequence, it looks, looks really bad.

Speaker 1:

It just doesn't work, Like when the hoverbird goes whoop and then she falls off.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, some cartoon shit.

Speaker 1:

So they escape and she's all like, oh, now we're best friends. Yeah, now we're best friends. Why weren't we best friends before? I don't know, but now we're best friends.

Speaker 2:

It reminds me of the Step Brothers John Stamos Did we just become best friends Like. That's how quick it is and nonsensical, except for it's not played as a joke in this movie. They're like we're supposed to buy in. They immediately become best friends for no reason.

Speaker 1:

Because they break into the kitchen and they eat a lot of food, which I do love doing that Again.

Speaker 2:

No fat people in this movie, though, so the cupcakes that they eat.

Speaker 1:

You think they're like calorie-free, so the other thing. So Tali can use her magic ring and she can go, go, go go, go, go, go, go, go, go go.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, what's she doing? She's twisting a ring. Cupcake she's bending the circuits. I'm bending the circuits of the ring. That's science that makes a lot of sense. Here's what I'm going to tell you. Dan, I play with my wedding ring constantly. I would be controlling shit all the time and not meaning to All the microwaves on. God damn it. So stupid. I did not like this device. It's pretty cool, it's pretty cool, man pretty cool, gives her power everything okay, so they so uh.

Speaker 1:

Shay asked her about the city. She says it's super cool, um, and then yeah, whatever. And they find out they have the exact same birthday. That's weird.

Speaker 2:

Totally unnecessary, it feels, Except for, you know, we have to know that she doesn't show up. I guess I don't know.

Speaker 1:

So they practice. So Shay's going to teach Tally how to hoverboard. They have a practice session and, I believe, does Tally get it perfectly at this point. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Well, yeah, it takes her a couple tries here.

Speaker 1:

Then Shade gives her a book and she's like is this a book? And Henry David Thoreau's Whatchamacallit book? Now this is interesting to me, there are no books, no books. Books are bad.

Speaker 2:

Because pretty people don't read? Yeah, because books are for ugly people.

Speaker 3:

Yes, is that the message that we're?

Speaker 2:

sending. Yes, as the people who are reading a book. Yes, they would be reading a book and being like I must be ugly because I have a book and books are only for ugly people.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

That's a weird message to send to people reading your book.

Speaker 1:

Yes. But you see, that makes the teenage girl go. Oh, I'm a rebel.

Speaker 2:

Now I need to be prettier.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

So this guy's plan just to make a bunch of teenage girls depressed about how ugly?

Speaker 1:

they are. No, they're like I read books and cool Tally reads books and I'll be pretty but I'll also be myself and it'll be just great. But she does the surgery. Of course she does the surgery.

Speaker 2:

The end of the movie she does and she becomes pretty.

Speaker 1:

Yes, because Tony gets a spoiler. He gets his spoilers.

Speaker 2:

Sorry, Spoiler alert everybody Rewind.

Speaker 1:

Okay so, boom, boom, boom. Okay, wait, we got all this. There's so much shit that happened in this movie. Okay so Skinny talks about how she's going to flee to the smoke and not have the thing, but let's Wait what's happening. Oh no, we do the skate part first.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, this is weird.

Speaker 1:

You're able to just magically create an entire skate park.

Speaker 2:

Terraform, you can just terraform shit Out of nothing. I don't get it, dan, it's pretty nice.

Speaker 3:

I don't get it.

Speaker 1:

Sure, they design a skate park and then tomorrow they're going to have some fun, so they sneak out out to the river and then you can cross over, because the river has metal in it.

Speaker 2:

I believe they tell us that there's metal in the river it's the classic, like the dan goodsell just give them a line. Just give them a line, it'll work. Sometimes it doesn't work.

Speaker 1:

I don't need it sometimes well, you give them a line that makes some, you know, like if we crawl down here, you we're like under where the fence senses. You Like okay as opposed to there's metal in the river and they can't detect you. Oh, okay, oh there's metal.

Speaker 1:

It's fine guys, you know there's like a you know a pipe that you crawl through. Ah, now we're on the other side of the fence. They look back, they see the fence, oh, we're on the other side. So they go surfing down the river, which is pretty cool, sure, sure. And then they get to the rusty ruins and they see Chicago and they go up on this one building and then they light a fire so that David knows that she's there to leave, and Shay's like come with me. And she's all like nah, I want to be pretty, okay, I'll see you later. This is like my other favorite thing. And here she hands her. This piece of paper are secret directions on how to get to the smoke that only you'll understand that only you'll understand.

Speaker 2:

But then she reads them later and it's like no, they make pretty, they make sense, I get it. I get it too. I could have escaped, and I'm pretty dumb.

Speaker 1:

You are Okay, so you got the thing Right the way she cries what's Tally's last name?

Speaker 2:

Do they say it? Oh, they do. Oh, they must. When they announce Her name? Oh no, they don't. I don't know what's her last name Youngblood. Like the musician, I wonder when Youngblood chose his name. I wonder if he chose it based on this fucking book series.

Speaker 1:

Maybe he did.

Speaker 2:

I hope he didn't. That's a dumb last name.

Speaker 3:

So here we are.

Speaker 1:

The magic day of transformation, everybody gets taken except her. She gets flown to the super mansion under special circumstances.

Speaker 2:

Did you have a problem with this man's voice, that he talks like this?

Speaker 3:

Talia.

Speaker 2:

Why is it so weird and they don't show his face? He's like headless for almost the whole time and his voice is just so Muppety. It's really weird. I don't know.

Speaker 1:

That just shows he has a lot of control over the situation. Oh, okay, Okay yeah, then we meet Dr Cable and I was like is Dr Cable a robot? Dr Cable is played by Laverne Cox. Yeah, who's a trans woman? Sure, yep, and she's the only evil person we have. Yeah, I just found it weird. It is weird that it's.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I think a trans woman should have all opportunities to play everything, but when you have a trans woman as your main evil villain character who's doing brain damage to all the young people so as to control them, that's just a weird.

Speaker 2:

It a weird message. That's weird message. Not only that she's in charge of a system that, like, transforms your body, but that is a negative thing in this, in this world. It's socially. It's a weird choice. It choice. It's a real weird choice.

Speaker 1:

I mean, you know, we want her to have opportunities 100%.

Speaker 2:

And she's great. Let's be clear she's great in the movie.

Speaker 1:

She's spooky and creepy and weird.

Speaker 2:

She is spooky yeah.

Speaker 1:

And you're like oh okay and intimidating and intimidating and unsettling and it's great and she plays the role incredibly well, but it's just like from a political sort of social political standpoint, it just seems like a weird place for her to be. Seems a little weird. Did it tilt the movie? No, because the movie's terrible, but it just seems like there were people that could give this movie a lot of grief because of this. And since no one knows this movie exists, nothing happens.

Speaker 2:

Right, right, are they going to make a sequel? You think, speaking of nobody, knowing it exists? Not a chance.

Speaker 1:

This movie very hated, very, very hated, very hated.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to give it two thumbs up on Netflix, just to see if I can. You know, twist the algorithm a little, get a sequel.

Speaker 1:

You know how many things on Netflix do they like, not do anything else on, and they spent a bunch of money on this.

Speaker 2:

I mean it looks pretty good. We haven't talked about that, but I think in general it looks pretty good and the soundtrack is a vibe man. I love the soundtrack. At some point there's's like this wonderful Postal Service cover Really knocked it out of the park.

Speaker 1:

Well, it is a McG.

Speaker 2:

Oh he's the director McG directed this Well, see, there you go. He knows how to make a vibe. Can't fix stupid, though. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

You have to give McGcgee an actual script because he is not going to.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, figure out where the problems are, he'll jazz it up you know he'll make it look fun, but the certain you know, below the surface we have a lot going on and I mean that's the thing about this movie.

Speaker 1:

Is this terrible movie? Terrible movie but not a terrible movie to watch? I, I was not, it's not a terribly made film?

Speaker 2:

No, which is, you know, it's a well-made film based on an awful script and a horrible premise. Yes, because even like the acting's solid, you know, I don't have anyone that I feel like wasn't bringing their weight. It looks good, it sounds good, it's just real dumb.

Speaker 1:

And you know, maybe in a different age, you know, a movie like this could have gone into theaters and only been seen by the people that should be seeing it, which is 16-year-old girls. Those are the only people that should be watching this movie.

Speaker 2:

Well, I watched all of those movies. But here's the interesting thing I watched them all too, you have to Of course.

Speaker 3:

I've watched. I know, Mr Twilight. I've watched Twilight's the greatest film of all time.

Speaker 1:

I've watched all the Maze Runners. I watched Insurgent, oh God.

Speaker 2:

Dylan O'Brien Love that guy.

Speaker 1:

The Maze Runners were about the best ones, I think. I mean other than the first Hunger Games which is a great movie, but the Mace Riders were okay. You were like I like all these characters and it's weird and interesting yeah no, totally Again, a world that I enjoyed.

Speaker 2:

It doesn't make a ton of sense, but I still enjoyed it. But what you bring up an interesting point when you think about it in that lens is all of these movies or all of these books that were all kind of around the same time. They all got made into movies 15 years ago. Oh yeah, too long. There has to be a reason this one didn't get picked back then you know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I'm sure it's been in development hell like yeah because?

Speaker 2:

because every time they make a script, they're like well, this is bad, it's not as good as these other ones we already did, guys, we can't release it and netflix.

Speaker 1:

I mean, that's the thing about netflix, is they just have to keep firing shit at the wall and then whatever hits?

Speaker 2:

thank goodness they do, because on it, like on a night where I don't know what to do, I just turn on some bullshit on netflix. You know it's fine, do you see?

Speaker 1:

that new one where the woman is paralyzed and she can only communicate by blinking. No, no she didn't. It's like a serial killer's out to get her and he's poisoned her and she can't move her body, and so then she has to survive somehow.

Speaker 2:

By blinking?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, by blinking Does she crawl along the floor, opening and closing her eyes like a worm. That would be a scene I'd like to watch 45 minutes. She's like, goes two feet.

Speaker 3:

No, there's like a prospector or something you know.

Speaker 1:

Guy with a beard no, oh what's happening? You young lady, you know blink.

Speaker 2:

Oh, you're saying yes, with one blink and two no, two blinks please tell me this takes place in the year 2025 and there's a prospector the year 2025.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I see what you're saying. I thought you were saying like in 1825, and this is no.

Speaker 2:

No, I want it to be today, and there's an old-timey prospector, a woman who can't move but blink. This is a movie that I want to see.

Speaker 1:

What a great film okay, okay, so so look.

Speaker 2:

Uh, so dr cable explains that shea is missing, and so she was just wondering if she knew where she was oh, right, yeah, this is the first time and there's like a heart monitor in the back so they know that she's lying or something sort of. They don't really bring it up and they don't really use anything against her, so and there's like a heart monitor in the back so they know that she's lying or something Sort of.

Speaker 1:

They don't really bring it up and they don't really use anything against her. So she's got to be a little cautious. I've got to be cautious about what I say.

Speaker 3:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

So they send her back to the dorms, and this is another great scene. She's going back to the dorms and then you have like the whispering off. You know, like the people, what is she doing back here? Why is she back? She's going to be here forever?

Speaker 2:

Is that even possible? Of course not. Like. Are there some 30 to 40 year old kids like just hiding out in their dorms because they never got chosen?

Speaker 3:

I don't understand.

Speaker 2:

I would love to like if one of the things that kids do on Halloween was like visit the old witch lady. That were from you know, I don't know. I would love to like if one of the things that kids do on Halloween was like visit the old witch lady. I don't know, it's interesting.

Speaker 1:

Those would all be things that could happen if this movie was interesting.

Speaker 3:

She's been here for 45 years. Can you believe?

Speaker 1:

it. Nose is in her room and he's all like you've got to help.

Speaker 2:

So she decides to help and then she doesn't realize this is a setup. How dumb is this girl? She's very, very clear. She wants nothing to do with you. And then, on the day that the doctor cables like I need your help, he just happens to crawl in your room.

Speaker 1:

Okay, Hold on, hold on. Let's go back to 16 year old Tony. How dumb was 16 year old Tony.

Speaker 2:

Pretty much the same amount of dumb as I am now. I don't believe that. It's pretty dumb, Dan. I don't believe that.

Speaker 1:

I do not believe that you had the same understanding of the world.

Speaker 2:

What did you?

Speaker 1:

think was going to happen in your life when you were 16?

Speaker 2:

Same thing, I think, happens now. I'm going to be a famous actor, dan, so you're completely delusional. For now and ever. You better believe it. When I was 17, we were trying to impress some girls, so we stole my dad's muscle car.

Speaker 1:

You- stole your dad's car. You stole your dad's car.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so he had some. It was like a red Camaro, like a real sexy Camaro. How are you alive? He didn't find out about it. My mom found out about it and she is. You know, she's my mom, she doesn't.

Speaker 1:

She's a sweet lady so she's like I'm not gonna tell him, but you really shouldn't do this so yeah, well, okay, your dad has never found out you stole his car. He might, might know now I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I know that he didn't know then because he let me drive it to prom that year, so he would have never done that if he knew that I took it without asking Stole your dad's car. That is terrible, like that's rare, please. People do it all the time, yeah. People don't survive, wasn't there a news story about like a six-year-old that like stole their mom's car and drove to Target or something recently there.

Speaker 1:

Absolutely was there absolutely was.

Speaker 2:

It's the same idea you know?

Speaker 1:

Okay. So they tell her that David is developing a weapon to destroy the city. You need to go undercover. Here's's like a magic pendant that you can signal us, and she's like I'm all in Dan.

Speaker 2:

So this pendant shot out bright light or something right.

Speaker 1:

You mean when she threw it in the fire?

Speaker 2:

No, because they held it out and they were like look at it. And then she looked at it and then it like flashed and she was like ow my eyes. Oh, I don't remember that. I didn't understand what was happening.

Speaker 1:

Magic, magic.

Speaker 2:

All right, it doesn't matter, I was just confused.

Speaker 1:

Now we're going to get to Tony's favorite scene. She goes out into the wild.

Speaker 2:

and there was this roller coaster we saw and the start of the thing that she has to do is she has to hoverboard on the roller coaster until you fall off. Uh-huh, um. Okay, dan, why I'm? Why would everyone fall off at the same spot? Because there was like it was broken right there. You couldn't she couldn't make the joke okay, because I don't know if you know this, but roller coasters don't have an ending right, they're a loop, they're an infinite loop. That's kind of their thing.

Speaker 1:

If you take an axe. But you're saying it was broken. If you take an axe, yeah, it was broken in a couple of spots. She made the one jump and then that was a big gap and then she fell through.

Speaker 2:

So couldn't you just kind of look at it and be like, okay, well, there's where I would fall off. And then here are train tracks, I'll just go down those. Why would you have to ride the whole thing just to find the part that's empty?

Speaker 1:

Not as dynamic.

Speaker 2:

You got me there. I can't argue that.

Speaker 1:

Why would you be going full speed, wouldn't you be like?

Speaker 2:

Right, you're on a roller coaster.

Speaker 1:

It's pretty dangerous without your seat thing down when I don't know where I'm going. You know what I do? I slow down.

Speaker 2:

I go faster Because I'm a YOLO. Do people still say YOLO? No?

Speaker 1:

She finds some train tracks, follows the train tracks and then she's in nature. She climbs Half Dome, she jumps a chasm, Then she falls asleep in Poppy Fields and then they get set on fire.

Speaker 2:

Right, right, what I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Meanwhile, back at the town, dr Cable is taking nose and she's giving him Wolverine surgery.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, now, that's the one I would do Super soldier serum.

Speaker 1:

But you got even more lesions on your brain. You're dumber, I'm fine.

Speaker 2:

I wouldn't worry about it. That's true. I wouldn't worry about it, it's okay, but you don't really know it. You know what I mean. You're not aware of how dumb you are. So that's fine, ignorance is bliss.

Speaker 1:

So she wakes up. The poppy field is on fire. David saves her and she's all like uh-oh. He scans her for tracking devices. There's one in her bag, but the signaling device does not come up.

Speaker 2:

Right, but then it still works right, because that's how they find them later, isn't it?

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, when she throws the thing in the fire, it's going to alert them to where she's at.

Speaker 2:

Because it's that signal when it flashes.

Speaker 1:

That's the signal If you stomp on it, it's still going to tell them where you are. It doesn't you know? You can't destroy it. She should have just. She's just buried it in the ground. That's what I sure she should have. Put it in one of those caves, like deep in one of those caves, that's what I did?

Speaker 2:

the terranium. What? What kind of metal did he say was blocking it? Oh, did he turn? He said some sort of he. Oh yeah, they can't see this because there's turnostinium.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, there was turnostinium in there. It's good metal. The bad guy said two specials to go follow where the signal was.

Speaker 2:

Oh, they're called the specials. That's the third book, oh, is it? Well, I don't know. You said specials, isn't that so it goes? Ugl't know you said specials, isn't that so it goes. Uglies pretties specials extras.

Speaker 1:

Extras.

Speaker 2:

Is that what it is?

Speaker 1:

I believe it is.

Speaker 2:

Alright, okay, so does she become all of those things? Is that what this is about?

Speaker 1:

You know she's got to save society a lot of times. Oh no, maybe I think the third set of books is called. The second set of books is called Imposters. They wrote three of those, so there's seven books.

Speaker 2:

So does that mean the first four books don't have a true ending?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean I'm assuming at the end of the second book. There's probably kind of an ending.

Speaker 2:

I guess you're going to have to read them. And let me know, Dan, because I'm not going to read this. Yeah, that's never happening.

Speaker 1:

So boom, she gets there. They take her to this little place before the smoke and there's Shay, and you know Shay's gone full jungle because she has a little piece of burlap on the top of her outfit.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, a burlap on the top of her outfit yeah, she fits right in. Let's, let's be clear. Can we talk about just for one second, dan, how good looking david is. He's? In my opinion, he's the best looking person in the film. Um, oh, you don't think so who do you you like?

Speaker 1:

I mean, I'm trying to think if there was anybody.

Speaker 2:

Wow, Dan truly believes they all are ugly Wow.

Speaker 1:

No, I mean he's attractive. I didn't find him charismatic.

Speaker 2:

I mean that's fine, yeah, that's okay.

Speaker 1:

Didn't find him charismatic. So it turns out, let's see, she's got some burlap. Shay's all like where'd you get that necklace? Where'd you get that necklace? What's up with that necklace? Oh, necklace, necklace, necklace, necklace, necklace.

Speaker 2:

And then don't worry about it. Don't worry about it, it's cool.

Speaker 1:

And she tells you she's like I just came to bring you back, shay. That's it, shay's like. I just came to bring you back, shay. That's it. Shay's like really, okay, I don't want to go back. Don't tell anyone. So it turns out that the flowers that give them infinite power are ruining the Earth. They're like a plague, and everywhere they go our planet, it just leaves dead Earth. And so they have a helicopter and then they fly over the helicopter hold on, they have a solar powered helicopter oh, did it say solar powered?

Speaker 1:

because they're all environmentalists.

Speaker 2:

They're like don't worry, it doesn't use gas anymore, it's solar powered tony, I'm gonna tell you something right now.

Speaker 1:

The fuck does that work?

Speaker 2:

I'm about to tell you something right now. The fuck does that work, Tony? I'm about to tell you something. Tell me something.

Speaker 1:

No no Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm.

Speaker 2:

I saw it in the movie. I saw it in the movie. They did it.

Speaker 1:

It's like we get infinite power from poppies and somehow we're going to put all those batteries in the helicopter and then the helicopter's going to pick them up.

Speaker 2:

And it's fine. Yeah, it's doing great. It flies all over the place.

Speaker 1:

What they do is they fly in their little helicopter with a flamethrower, tony.

Speaker 2:

That I assume also doesn't use gasoline. Is that what you're going to tell me right now? That's my question.

Speaker 1:

I was going to ask you. It's a solar powered flamethrower. That's so stupid and then they fly over there and flamethrower the the boppies, and then the the bad guys show up and then she falls out and then tally's all like let me grab this rope and rappel down and then pick up shea, and then you'll pull me up. Pick up Shay, and then you'll pull me up.

Speaker 2:

But hold on, there's more steps in here, because these fast moving blue people, the blue man groups, coming in hot Right and she throws the bag, a bag that she used to bring the rope down. I didn't totally understand, but she throws a bag and hits one of them. So, he's within throwing distance of a bag he got bagged she grabs her friend, tugs the rope, gets pulled up in the helicopter all before that. Guy can close five feet.

Speaker 1:

Hit by a bag.

Speaker 3:

This guy's totally disoriented right now. That's.

Speaker 1:

Achilles heel. You know Wolverine's coming for you, Throw a bag at him. Throw a bag. No, not the bag. I watched the Wolverine and Deadpool movie.

Speaker 2:

Oh fuck, I still haven't seen it. No spoilers, but how is it Not great? Oh, no, really.

Speaker 1:

It's fine, it's funny, you know.

Speaker 2:

Okay, I mean, funny is good.

Speaker 1:

You know it's fine and funny, but it's just. And what's her name? Emma, as the bad woman, she good.

Speaker 2:

Emma.

Speaker 1:

Thompson, corrin.

Speaker 2:

I don't even know who this is.

Speaker 1:

She's young. We watched the show with her where she plays a detective computer hacker person, which she was good, and then she played Princess Diana in the Crown.

Speaker 2:

Oh, okay, okay, Interesting she's, which was, she was good, and then she played princess diana in the crown.

Speaker 1:

Oh, okay, okay she's interesting she's, but the movie left me wow okay, I'm gonna try, I'm gonna.

Speaker 2:

I'm gonna have to watch it asap didn't watch the last 10 minutes.

Speaker 1:

I'm gonna get around to it, but didn't.

Speaker 2:

Didn't even finish the last 10 minutes dan it's just wrapping it up. You got to see how it finishes. Good Lord, you got problems man.

Speaker 1:

Was that generally unenthused about the movie?

Speaker 2:

Didn't finish it Like oh we got 10 minutes left, Eh, nah, Later. Nah, that's too much work right now. I've watched an hour 57. I'm done.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so they get there, they inhale all this smoke unaffected, cory cory. This other dude, bald dude, doesn't, still doesn't trust them, and then shay's gonna be like sure what the smoke is all about and dan I have.

Speaker 2:

I have a question because they get mad at uh joey for leading those people there, but if they're out torching fields of poppies, that these people use.

Speaker 1:

It's almost like a thing you might notice.

Speaker 2:

They would know, they'd be like okay, I know exactly where they are, I don't understand.

Speaker 1:

Don't you think you'd have people guarding your poppies or paying attention to them? Sure.

Speaker 2:

Even if not guarding, you would have someone that checks on them every once in a while Because you've got to. Who collects them? Robots maybe? I don't know, you don't show me anything, but someone would notice and be like, well, that wasn't torched yesterday. That seems weird.

Speaker 1:

So I say you're sitting there watching this movie with a person sitting next to you that read the books. Yes, you didn't think to ask her any of these questions.

Speaker 2:

Listen. Sometimes if I ask too many questions, sometimes she gets mad at me.

Speaker 1:

Why does she get mad at you? What does that mean? She gets mad at you.

Speaker 2:

She's trying to watch the movie. She's so into it. Not that she's into it, but she's like why are you still talking to me? I'm trying to listen to the movie, you know.

Speaker 1:

She doesn't have to listen to the movie, she can just read the subtitles.

Speaker 2:

She listen, I she sometimes she says things about like cause she reads the subtitles. She's like oh, I can't believe he said this and I'm like what do you mean? That's what he said. I didn't even hear that. But she knows so much more because she reads it. I can't do both.

Speaker 1:

So you don't listen or read the subtitles.

Speaker 2:

Well, so we watch this show called Below Deck. We're hitting that hard and some of these people have strong accents because they're from around the world and I'm not great with accents because I'm from Minnesota and I'm not cultured.

Speaker 2:

You're terrible and sometimes I'm just Minnesota and I'm, you know, not cultured. You're terrible. And sometimes I'm just like I, I don't know what they're saying, but instead of being curious, I just tune it out. You know what I mean. I'm just like, ah, it probably can't be that important, I'll get it on the next scene. And then she's like oh, did you hear what he said? That's so crazy. I don't know what you're talking out right now. He didn't say. All I heard was blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, like the Snoopy adult characters.

Speaker 1:

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, Wah, wah, wah wah. So she's having a fitful night because she's starting to be conflicted over how perfect the smoke is and how terrible the world she came from was.

Speaker 2:

Yeah. So here's what like her two choices right are like this Stepford Wives bullshit or a hippie commune. I mean, neither are great choices.

Speaker 1:

So she walks out of the tent and there's naked David in the lake masturbating.

Speaker 2:

Wait, is that what he's doing?

Speaker 1:

That was a test, Tony.

Speaker 3:

Listen, not only do I believe it, but I support it.

Speaker 2:

Good for you, guy, because he's got free will. All right. None of those pretty people are over there choosing that. Come on now.

Speaker 1:

They go to the smoke and they talk about we grow food and everyone has to choose to be here and you're going to have to work and be a part of our society. And then she battalions there under circumstances looking for the weapon. So she searches for the weapon and she goes into places she can't and Corey sees her and Corey's like none of your business.

Speaker 2:

Okay, that's basically all he says. She like. What is that? He's like? Don't worry about it, she's okay, do they? That's it. That's the scene. They never go back to that place, do they never, once no no, but, dan, there's a line here where she's like you'll be amazed at how good the food tastes.

Speaker 3:

Yes, because you're not when to grow it yourself.

Speaker 2:

And here's what I'm going to tell you, and this might upset some people. So I feel terrible. Organic food tastes like dirt. There's not more flavor no, no. There's not more flavor. Let me tell you. Let me tell you what If I eat. No, let me tell you what If I eat.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

Yes, because I need high fructose corn syrup, extra sugar, extra salt, otherwise it tastes bland. I need it. Well, I'm just going to say, okay, yeah, tell me.

Speaker 1:

If you get strawberries. We used to go to the strawberry stand in Orange County. Okay, no, you're going to be right, strawberries. We used to go to the strawberry stand in.

Speaker 2:

Orange County.

Speaker 1:

Okay, no, you're going to be right you go to the real strawberry place as opposed to the. If you buy the world's biggest mutant strawberries. Those mutant strawberries taste like shite.

Speaker 2:

You get good strawberries. You're just like oh my God.

Speaker 1:

It's the greatest thing I've ever tasted.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, okay, I'll agree with fresh fruit, so shut up, and maybe vegetables, but is that all they're eating? Wait a second.

Speaker 1:

Hold on. So what you're saying is, their candy bars aren't going to be as good as our candy bars Candy bars are going to be bad.

Speaker 2:

Their fast food's going to be terrible. All right, taco Bell is not going to be very good. How am I supposed to get delicious ground beef? That's only 10% meat.

Speaker 1:

All right, this is Stanley. Your Taco Bell is terrible, thank you.

Speaker 2:

This Crunchwrap Supreme is not very good.

Speaker 1:

Crunchwrap Supreme is what I call it. Oh Okay, at dinner David gives a big speech. We must achieve our goal. David spends time teaching her crossbow. It was good that she knew the crossbow for the end of the movie, when she needed to crossbow so much.

Speaker 2:

Maybe that's coming in the sequel. She crossbowed one dude, oh okay. It didn't seem to stop him, though. You know what I mean Like, so it wasn't that great of a skill.

Speaker 1:

He gives her these gloves.

Speaker 2:

Did he make a big deal out of it?

Speaker 1:

No, he's just like here's some gloves.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

Here's some gloves.

Speaker 2:

When she had them and the friend is like that's a huge deal, I didn't even remember it happening. I was like I guess he did give her the gloves, but I don't remember there being like a moment with it.

Speaker 1:

Well, there wasn't really, because there wasn't a moment. All right, yeah, all right, cool he should have like stroked her hair and goes like here's some gloves. Oh, that's sexy, yeah, gloves.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

These two scouts, the two of their people, show up. The scouts have been attacking. And who administers the field first aid? Joey King, because she probably learned a lot of first aid, first aid. Where did she learn first aid I?

Speaker 2:

guess in school, but she didn't know how to make a fire, like those two things. I know they're not the same, like I understand that, but I just feel like where would you learn some survival skills and not other survivals they would have no survival skills you gotta wrap it to stop the clotting or help the clotting. And I was like, why would you know? That she would not know. I don't know, I don't get it.

Speaker 1:

Boom, david preaches to her about social change and then she's all like blah, blah, blah. In the dorms they say you have a weapon. He's like come on, and he goes to see his parents and her parents are old and his parents are doctors. And then they give us all the back story about how there's lesions on the brain. They were against Dr Cable and then they had to flee. But they've been here and they've figured out how to make a thing to fix everything. But there's a super magic special second component that's only in the city and they've got to go get that yeah, it seems a little complicated well, it's no, it seems very straightforward.

Speaker 1:

See, that's. It's the exact opposite of complicated. It's like if we just put these two compounds together, everything will be solved but how do they know that, having not done it, you know? What I mean scientists? Well, they don't know, because they're gonna have to test. I don't understand science here well, right, but so.

Speaker 2:

But they make it sound like they know it's gonna work, but we haven't tested it. But like you don't know, you don't know what's gonna happen when you put these things together. Also, when they call it her lab over and over again, it's not much of a lab Hunt.

Speaker 1:

Dirty Hunt.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's a bad lab.

Speaker 1:

Would you really want somebody doing science in that, operating on you?

Speaker 2:

Well, no, because it should be a sterile room, and that's the opposite of sterile. What's the opposite of sterile, dirty that room.

Speaker 1:

Bacteria-ridden.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, like you're dead, You're going to get sepsis so quick.

Speaker 1:

We were watching that TV show Rome. Did you ever watch that show on HBO? I did yeah no, yeah, hbo Rome. Yeah, we watched it. What's-his-name gets in a fight and he gets hurt. He comes back to what's-his-name the other guy's house and they have to bring in the doctor and they cut open his head because his head is bleeding. Oh God.

Speaker 3:

I couldn't watch it.

Speaker 1:

Shannon, who can do anything right.

Speaker 2:

Shannon's just like yeah, whatever, it's fine, I get it, I get it.

Speaker 1:

She's like oh my God, Too much. Oh my God, oh my God, I'm just like this.

Speaker 2:

I'm like hiding from it. You know this show, you're just like ah, so stupid, give us something visceral, something we can keep our teeth into. Yeah, come on. Children's movie.

Speaker 1:

So she's convinced, she throws the necklace in the fire. She confesses everything to David, but David says it's fine. Then he's like what do you want? She's like I've done bad, maybe I deserve to be beautiful, be ugly. And then he's like you're beautiful. Then he kisses her. Was that too much? You didn't like that, did you?

Speaker 2:

No, I liked it.

Speaker 1:

Okay, you liked it.

Speaker 2:

Okay, yeah, no, I thought it was nice. You know like that when he does that soft petting on the cheek.

Speaker 1:

I would have succumbed as well, Next morning they come out of the same tent.

Speaker 2:

Yes, Are they doing it? Phoning Right Like come on A little loose Loosey-goosey you probably put a baby in her. Oh, maybe that's the fourth movie. She's like 16 years old, that's all.

Speaker 1:

Maybe that's the fourth movie. She's like 16 years old. That's what I'm saying, man. How old is Joey King, though? She's probably like 22 or something.

Speaker 2:

Oh, she's gotta be. I thought she was like 27, but I'm sure I'm wrong. Joey King 25, right in between what we thought.

Speaker 1:

And then the scouts attack. Everyone gets captured Except them. David and her who who are seven feet away, watching from behind something with their heads completely apparent.

Speaker 2:

And wouldn't those be the two that you're definitely trying to capture? Oh, they're yelling at all the people.

Speaker 1:

Where's David? Where's David? David's like he's right over there. He's right there, I see him.

Speaker 2:

He's right there. There, I see him. He's right there. Where is he?

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, good stuff. They bring out the parents and then Nose kills the dad.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's tough.

Speaker 1:

And then they run out. We're running out. And then, of course, she immediately Confesses everything to Dr Cable. You didn't tell me that people get hurt. What did you? Think was going to happen More importantly, what recourse do you expect by saying that to her?

Speaker 2:

Sure, you'll be like oh shoot, you're right, my bad, oh, we can't bring them back, let everybody go.

Speaker 1:

Oh, why would You're right?

Speaker 2:

My bad, oh, we can't bring him back. Let everybody go. Oh, why would we?

Speaker 1:

do it. So Shay is betrayed, everyone is betrayed, except, I think, corey. I think Corey's good with it. He's all like well, I knew it.

Speaker 2:

He's pretty chill. Yeah, he's a chill dude. I'd hang out with him.

Speaker 1:

So Dr Cable's like we're going to take you all back. Getting procedure tally runs, starts a fire, blows up things, um, the bad guy smashed the lab and then Her and David just sort of get Away. How did they get away?

Speaker 2:

yeah, how did they get away? They just walked, I think. As far as I could tell, they just kind of Took off in a direction and no one Followed. And now, well, because Because dr Cable's like don't worry, she'll Come to us seems Like a bad plan why?

Speaker 1:

why would she come to us? Seems like a bad plan.

Speaker 2:

Why, why would she come to us? Because she's capturing all her friends.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, that's true. David is now mad at her. Every word you said was a lie. I didn't mean for this to happen, I'm so sorry. And then she's all like and then he's not mad, he's not mad, he's not mad. Well, he needs her now.

Speaker 2:

This is one of my favorite lines of the whole movie. Okay, all right. He's like I can't trust you and she says you don't have to trust me, you just have to follow me. Which is pretty much the same thing, because you're going to have to trust someone to follow them. You don't have to trust me, you just have to follow me and do what I say and basically trust me. Otherwise you're going to die. You're fucked. Terrible line, horribly written.

Speaker 1:

They take the copter, they land the copter like right up behind the dorms. They go, they get the three kids and they're all like, okay, you three kids, you're now part of the rebellion. They're like, yeah, rebellion, yeah, part of the rebellion. They're like, yeah rebellion.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean she just happens to find the three people that would definitely say yes, but it's pretty lucky because she's.

Speaker 1:

They've also set up that she doesn't have any other friends in the whole of the system also true no yeah, she's not great at making friends, it's true so they're going to create a diversion, and so you know what they do in big letters, flaming letters, which I don't know how they have flaming letters, material sitting around. You have 30 seconds to create a version. What I'm going to do is I'm going to light up the sky with smoke, with burning letters that says the smoke lives.

Speaker 2:

You could just do that. You had that ready. That's unbelievable. I have what luck, what luck do we have here that you were just ready for fire letters?

Speaker 1:

That's what I have right here in my room. I'm ready for that Any moment you say damn Fire letters.

Speaker 2:

I'm like you guys aren't gonna believe this. Done, I've got great news. I am ready.

Speaker 1:

This is my true favorite part of the movie. I was excited, I liked it. I was like this. Here we are.

Speaker 2:

This is also again the music, the score. Here I'm like I'm jamming, I'm like all right, revolution is coming, and then it doesn't really. No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it kind of lets me down, like the it builds, it builds nicely, and then it's just fizzles out they go into the city, they hoverboard down this thing and they drungy jump down it, and then they go to level seven and she can't get the magic ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring. And then the door just opens and there's a dude, and then David just knocks him out.

Speaker 2:

Well, he doesn't he like throat punches him, doesn't he? She does throat punch him, which is crazy, very vicious.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I loved it. Uh, they saved the kids. Oh yeah, cory still wants to kill her, because cory's, cory's what? Just listen to, cory. You should just knife her in the throat beginning of the movie. Hey, everybody just listen to cory um, they find out that shea is at surgery. They go to surgery and there is Shay. Talk to me about Shay.

Speaker 2:

She's terrifying she's so scary now she looks so scary. Well, now she's got big boobs and crazy hairdo that I didn't really understand. It's like kind of tight here, but then like poofs, I didn't really get it. She's way uglier.

Speaker 1:

It's what you call the OnlyFans machine. Wait what? It turns your people into prostitutes or adult film stars Not prostitutes, adult film stars, because she's wearing a silver mirrored sex dress.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, the dress is crazy, it is so.

Speaker 1:

Fredericks of Hollywood. It just it's so I don't know. It just felt so low rent and her hairdo felt so low rent and it was just like I don't know. It was just it's embarrassing, it's just embarrassingly slutty.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, 100%, and it's not. I don't know. It's weird. It just makes everybody uglier. I don't get it. I don't get the idea.

Speaker 1:

Okay, and then Dr Cable shows up. She's got nose with her and amazingly it's mom and David and Tally and there are three chambers, so they put them all in the chambers. They're all gonna get get, uh, gets, get, get it. Right now they're gonna. And then go and get it. Lo and behold, somehow in the two minutes it took them to walk up to this chamber yeah, cory and the others have gone all the way back across the river to the dorm, fired up the solar-powered helicopter and driven the solar-powered helicopter. Know?

Speaker 2:

exactly where to go. But how do they do it so fast?

Speaker 1:

How close is this camp that?

Speaker 3:

nobody could find I don't know, I don't even know if they're that fast.

Speaker 1:

Within seconds, you can be anywhere.

Speaker 2:

Just ask, marty.

Speaker 1:

McFly, you go so fast.

Speaker 2:

I love hoverboards.

Speaker 1:

You can go, even travel through time properly with a hoverboard oh, that's.

Speaker 2:

I hope that comes up.

Speaker 1:

So he flamethrowers through the thing and they're able to escape to the roof. And then David fights, knows and doesn't do well, but something happens. Oh, they throw a hoverboard at him and he goes to the edge and then he falls into the river.

Speaker 2:

And then it seems like he might squeeze the concrete too hard and shatter it.

Speaker 3:

Yes, Is that what he does I?

Speaker 1:

thought he was going to let go and say I've made mistakes, yeah.

Speaker 2:

It was weird because he's like. He suddenly then remembers and he's like hey, mouse, what's her name? Wink Squinch, squint, squint. He's like hey, squint, I love you. And then he crumbles the rock and falls then he crumbles the rock and falls.

Speaker 1:

I don't get it, man.

Speaker 2:

I don't understand what just happened but he falls into a river, so he doesn't die. So that's oh, he'll definitely be back.

Speaker 1:

Foe show and then they all just fly away on the helicopter, like literally through where the scout ships are. Right, don't they fly?

Speaker 2:

yeah, right by them, yeah yeah, it's fine, it a helicopter, so they don't see him.

Speaker 1:

It's a helicopter, then they go. For some unknowable reason they go back to the buildings where they lit the fire. That was weird.

Speaker 2:

Sure, yeah, I don't yeah.

Speaker 1:

And then they're all like oh and mom stole the second magic compound, while they were in the place, which was great.

Speaker 2:

It was just sitting out ready to go and the best.

Speaker 1:

thing was it's in this case, that's probably like 16 by 16 by 14, let's say yeah, yeah, yeah, she opens it up. It's just a little vial. She's like I'll put that in my pocket. And then they're like okay, we gotta transform somebody, let's do it as Shay. And then they're like okay, we got to transform somebody, let's do it as Shay. And then they're like no, we can't do it against your will. She has to say yes.

Speaker 2:

Okay, tony Well because you know how are these books going to work?

Speaker 1:

right, if you got to, have free will aren't they going to have to like gas like a whole city?

Speaker 2:

Well, they'll have to just convince everybody. But they're all brain. You have to free will they're all brain damaged. They don't have free will but you could still say yeah, well, because the parents said that they went through the transition right yeah, I don't know about that but they don't look like they did. You know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

They said they undid it. Oh no, it was multiple. You had to go through a bunch of times and then they stopped at a certain point.

Speaker 2:

Okay, you know what? I don't know, man.

Speaker 1:

So they got perfectly slutty hair, but they didn't get perfectly slutty faces.

Speaker 2:

They didn't get the cheekbones.

Speaker 1:

Maybe they just have the hottest ears in the world.

Speaker 2:

So what's weird to me is that Joey King's character is when she's saying at the end that she's like yeah, yeah, just you'll turn me back and they're like but you're going to be transformed. She's like don't worry about it, I'm strong. Yes, shay was weak. That's what she said. I'm strong, shay was weak. I know who I am. Shay was confused as fuck. Don't worry, I'm going to be fine, it doesn't make any sense. Yeah, that's all. That was all. I just know.

Speaker 1:

She, she, has so much willpower because she's, she's, she's tally youngblood, she's not like the others right.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, she's unaffected. Why we'll see in the next. How is that possible?

Speaker 2:

they'll probably have to like deprogram her.

Speaker 1:

They'll probably have to like steal her from the place and then like smack her around smack her around.

Speaker 2:

Sometimes you got to do what you gotta do. I know you're in there, you I?

Speaker 1:

know You're in there. You're in there. You're in there. She's already said she's in there. No, I'm fixing it, yeah.

Speaker 2:

In there. I'm doing it. I don't know. I don't know. It's real weird, but I guess I mean honestly, if you think about it, she's already given them the permission.

Speaker 1:

Oh, if you sign the form. Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2:

Right, Like. If you sign the form, then changing my life is too late.

Speaker 1:

Too late.

Speaker 2:

You sign on the dotted line.

Speaker 1:

You sign the form. So she's gone through the transformation. Everything about her is golden. She lives in like this golden apartment and Q Music Movie's over. You've got to wait for the next one.

Speaker 2:

But it's not, it might not come out yes, it's never coming out.

Speaker 1:

No, I, I want to see more. No, she gets me ready. She has to be a pretty forever, pretty forever.

Speaker 2:

Well, so that I mean, that is interesting, right, if you think about it, because they're they're saying that they can undo the brain lesion thing yes, but they don't undo the physical transformation. They do everything oh, they do undo the physical transformation? No idea, because that would be weird. That feels very dangerous. Let me just make you uglier again. Let me tear open your body a second time within two months here and see if you heal.

Speaker 1:

Well, if your wife would have been nice enough to actually talk to you, she would have told you what happens?

Speaker 2:

I'll ask her later. I'll text you the answers. I'll ask her later. I'll text you the answers. So that's the end. I'm scared.

Speaker 1:

This movie was pretty great.

Speaker 2:

Pretty great Again. I really like the musical choice and I'm going to find that cover of the song. I like Postal Service and I'm going to listen to it. Yeah, so if nothing else came out of this movie, whoever made that song gets one more listen.

Speaker 1:

And it makes me go back to my lab and work on the toothbrush pill.

Speaker 2:

Fucking hell man. It's not a toothbrush pill.

Speaker 1:

It's a toothpaste pill I saw it, it's a toothbrush pill.

Speaker 2:

Or just, you know, mouthwash pill. Why isn't it mouthwash?

Speaker 1:

It's a pill, because it does what a toothbrush does, but it's in a pill form.

Speaker 2:

Toothbrush pill. It does not, it doesn't do that.

Speaker 1:

Tony, talk to us about something you like this week.

Speaker 2:

Well, you're going to be mad because it's not a movie or TV, but Nintendo has released. Pokemon TCG Pocket, which is kind of their response to Marvel Snap. I'm addicted. I love it.

Speaker 1:

Is it on the phone?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's on the phone. It's a simplified version of the full TCG. Oh wow, I'm going to need a ranked mode at some point, because you're just kind of playing for no reason at this point, but they're leaning heavily into the collection of it all, like they make you tear open the pack on the screens. Very satisfying, they know what they're doing. But I'd like a ranked mode so I could show people how good I am at Pokemon.

Speaker 1:

How much money have you spent on this game? Thousands.

Speaker 2:

I won't worry about it, dan, I won't worry about that. No, no, there's a welcome pack that was like $29.99. That's all I've done so far, oh, okay.

Speaker 1:

Can you sell cards for $1,000?

Speaker 2:

No, you don't own stuff. But they've talked about bringing in trading, if that does anything for you.

Speaker 1:

Okay, interesting, I don't know, but it's fun. Okay, sorry, maybe I'll watch it on the YouTube somebody playing.

Speaker 2:

I'll post it, I'll play it you watch it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you won't do that. We've been watching a lot of police body cam footage.

Speaker 2:

People are obsessed over that. It's pretty funny.

Speaker 1:

I've been watching this one judge. He's David Fleischer. He puts people in jail for multiple DUIs. Oh my god, he yells at people. Oh, he yells, and yells, and yells.

Speaker 2:

Well, he should yell at them if they're doing multiple DUIs. I mean, listen, no, duis is bad, but if you do one and you do a second one, that's worse. One mistake is all you get.

Speaker 1:

I watched a body cam footage this morning. Police roll up on this lady who has left her kids in the car to go gamble in the casino.

Speaker 2:

Oh, fuck me, what Are you?

Speaker 1:

serious A seven-year-old and two 18-month-olds.

Speaker 2:

I'm not laughing because it's funny. I'm laughing because it's shocking.

Speaker 1:

It's shocking, that's horrible. She's like, they're all like ah, you know they get to the point where they're going to arrest her and they're like do you have anything else? You know she's like no, nothing else. This is the first first time ever, and the great thing about these is they always do the research and it pops up on the screen. She has had seven other, you know, but you know she's lying to them. They all lie everybody, of course.

Speaker 2:

The amount of lying that occurs.

Speaker 1:

It's just like it's all lying. These people, these people, live their life with lies. It's's terrible. Oh, that's bad. It's pretty great, though. I love it.

Speaker 2:

It's pretty, you know, because it's not you right, oh yeah. You can look at it and think that it's wild.

Speaker 1:

They'll never catch me.

Speaker 2:

I'm the gingerbread man.

Speaker 1:

Tony, we need a movie for next week, preferably one that's as enjoyably bad as this movie we just watched.

Speaker 2:

I can't promise this. I also don't. I have a list of all the movies we've done and this movie isn't on that list. But for some reason I swear to God we've done this movie, but I'm hoping we haven't.

Speaker 1:

Well, if you, but let me set the scene for everybody. Do you have a backup, in case we have done?

Speaker 2:

it. I do have a backup. I have a backup plan, just in case you're like no idiot we've done that movie. That's enough. It is November 2nd in our timeline.

Speaker 1:

It is November 2nd in our timeline.

Speaker 2:

Which means in thrice days we have a presidential election. By the time this episode posts, we probably won't know who the president is, because it's supposed to be Wednesday.

Speaker 1:

The day after we will know oh.

Speaker 2:

I don't know.

Speaker 1:

I don't know. Oh, you mean this episode, this one, yeah, this episode.

Speaker 2:

So, regardless, I wanted to do something about a president, oh okay. About politics, just to be in the game here. So I went with this movie starring Chris Rock. Does this sound familiar? Yet, oh, I've seen this movie and it's called Head of State. Oh yeah, We've absolutely we've never done a Chris Rock movie.

Speaker 1:

We've never done a Chris Rock movie. Absolutely have not done a Chris Rock movie.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely not. I don't think so, I mean maybe he was.

Speaker 1:

no, I don't think we've even had a movie where he was like I thought we did do.

Speaker 2:

Did we do Chris Rock, where he plays himself twice? I think we did, but that's not this movie either way?

Speaker 1:

No, no, that was Did we do? We did the. Do we do a Martin Lawrence, not a Martin? Kevin Hart Do we do a Kevin Hart movie like that?

Speaker 2:

First of all, we've done a bunch of Kevin Hart movies. It doesn't matter, didn't we do one where?

Speaker 1:

he like runs like a garden center or something.

Speaker 2:

I'm trying to wonder if we did the garden center one or if I just watched that movie. I don't know what the garden center. One is we've lost the thread, so this is uh wait, what did you say?

Speaker 2:

this is head of state. It did you say this is Head of State it's. Chris Rock as a politician yeah, that's all I remember. I definitely saw this years and years ago. I think I saw it in the theater.

Speaker 1:

I believe the premise is that there's a guy named Joe Smith and Joe Smith dies, and so he and his miscreant friends run him as Joe Smith. So it'll show up as Joe Smith on the ballot.

Speaker 2:

Yes, Yep, that's exactly what it is. Yeah, they die in a plane crash and he runs under that name. Yep, that's exactly what happens. That's the movie. So that's the movie we're watching.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's going to be Chris Rock, so it's going to be jokes that are actually jokes.

Speaker 2:

That's exactly. I think it'll be fun. Yeah, I don't think it'll be good, necessarily, but I think we're going to have a great time with it and we're going to need it after Wednesday, tuesday, I don't know what day this thing's on Tuesday, yeah so, yeah.

Speaker 1:

so, head of State, that's our next movie. It'll be fun watching, and certainly we'd all take Chris Rock as our president.
