Tony is desperate to be desperate to have acting yeah Of any kind.
Speaker 2:Of any kind.
Speaker 1:That's all actors really want. I mean, yeah, and it's kind of like all of them right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we just want to do it. You know, like, I feel like the majority of us don't need to be rich. We just want to do it, we just want to be invited, that's all.
Speaker 1:Yep, that is the central conceit of the actor and that's what I said to him. I am not an actor.
Speaker 2:Couldn't care less.
Speaker 1:Welcome to Hate Watching with Dan and Tony. I'm Dan, I'm Tony. Each week we talk about a movie, we dissect it, we get to its core, we understand what's behind the filmmakers thinking.
Speaker 2:No, don't promise that on this movie.
Speaker 1:Filmmakers.
Speaker 2:You didn't like this one. No, no, I loved this movie. This is a horrible movie. This is a terribly made, terribly written, horrible movie and I had an absolute blast with it, Just had so much fun. I have some notes. I think that it could have been better. It could have been better. It could have been better.
Speaker 1:I find that hard to believe.
Speaker 2:I'll just tell you right now Stop knocking Mark Wahlberg out. Don't make him unconscious for 40 minutes of your movie, because he's the best part of the movie. His creepy, weird, sexual like this guy is making me laugh all through the movie and you keep knocking him out Unbelievable.
Speaker 1:Did you ever believe in what he was doing?
Speaker 2:Who did you believe in this movie? Don't as if that's like some sort of level setting for this movie. Who did you believe? Because I'll tell you what it's not the agent, the main lady. She'd never said one word that I believed. Topher Grace is fine.
Speaker 1:He's just kind of being Topher.
Speaker 2:He's just kind of doing himself. I feel like a lot of the takes are just like yeah, just do whatever you want on this one. Let's see how it goes, because they don't always make sense in the movie. But it's fine, because he makes me chuckle. It's none of the people on the voiceover on the radio or the telephone, because I'm pretty sure they didn't read a script. I'm pretty sure someone just called them and were like hey, just repeat these lines to me, don't worry about context whatsoever. This movie man. This is Mel. What are you doing?
Speaker 1:What are you?
Speaker 2:doing Mel. This movie is called.
Speaker 1:Flight Risk Flight Risk it's a tight hour and 31 minutes of mostly boring exposition. Mostly boring exposition. Mostly boring exposition.
Speaker 2:Yes, because you keep knocking out your only antagonist. If you knock out the antagonist, we got nothing to do. We have nothing to do for 20 minutes at a time.
Speaker 1:The interesting thing is he's often awake when they're trying to make critical phone calls, and he's like yeah and not doing much Doesn't make a peep, right. You know when he's like oh, I'll be polite while you're talking about the phone call, that's gonna help get me to my own death sooner. But you know, when that's done, I'm just gonna talk about, I'm gonna go rage. I'm gonna talk about raping Topher Grace. I'm gonna do so much about rape, it's just like you know how I'm going to rape you.
Speaker 1:It's going to be enjoyable because I'll be raping you.
Speaker 2:I'm good at rape, I'm going to enjoy this. I should have written down how many times he said I'm going to enjoy this, because I feel like that was his motto. He said it probably 15 times throughout this movie. I will say Dan, in his defense, in defense of this character who was quiet during the phone calls the phone calls didn't actually seem that helpful, so he's probably listening and being like I'm fine, I don't even have to worry right now, because these people are all idiots.
Speaker 1:They're all incompetent idiots and they have no idea what they're doing. Well, it is interesting that we'll talk about how this movie gets set up in a minute. Sure, you're always like, oh, he's done something and they're going to trick them. There's going to be. You're always waiting for the red herring or the switch or the turn it never comes. There's nothing, no, pretty straightforward. Yeah, it's like at first we don't know Wahlberg's the bad guy. Then, like within about 30 seconds of meeting him, we're like, oh, he's the bad guy, oh, okay.
Speaker 2:Well, I think at first you're like, oh, he's a bad guy because he's skeecy. But then you're like, oh, no, wait, he's the bad guy. Now it all makes sense why he came into this plane and why he came into this plane. And I was immediately like, oh, this guy is giving me the creeps because he's a bad guy. And Mark Wahlberg not the best actor in the world. So, yeah, he kind of telegraphs it and it's probably script related, but he never comes in and tries to fool you, that's for sure.
Speaker 1:What do you know about the script Tony?
Speaker 2:I don't know anything about it. Was there a script?
Speaker 1:Oh, there was a script. I know absolutely nothing. I did zero research on this. This is one of those scripts that was top of the blacklist.
Speaker 2:Now let's have a conversation, and I'm going to pose it in the framework of if you're outside of Hollywood, but really it's because I have no idea what the blacklist is. But tell the people outside of Hollywood, dan, what is the blacklist? I don't think they understand.
Speaker 1:Understand, oh, but you know what? The blacklist is I.
Speaker 2:It's a thing that I hear about all the time and they're like oh, these scripts, the blacklist, oh, there's a podcast about the blacklist and I'm like I don't. I don't really know what it is. How does a script get to the blacklist? What does it mean if it's on the blacklist?
Speaker 1:oh, how do you get to the top of the blacklist? I know this, but now I there's a um, there's a competition site for screenplays that you can put your screenplays on there and then enter competitions, which I, which I did a little bit of, and I won't say I had success. But you know, occasionally you'd get somebody, you know, some one of your things will be in a contest or something and people will say positive things and you'll move up and you move up. This thing it's Coverfly, I think it's called Coverfly. Okay, it might be the one that gets you to the blacklist, but Coverfly definitely has I think it's Coverfly has a group of scripts that are at the top. These are the ones that have won multiple contests and people have read and said this is good and so at a certain point you get up into this. Vaunted is that the right word Vaunted status of the blacklist or the red list or whatever these lists are.
Speaker 1:And these are the best unproduced, unpurchased scripts that are kind of floating out there and it's usually like 10 scripts that you know everybody's like. Oh, this is the one you know In the case of this script, this is the one where they're flying a guy back and you end up with this tight situation where there's a bad guy and a marshal and a witness. You should.
Speaker 2:It should be tight, it should be. It's a good setup. It's a nice setup.
Speaker 1:It could be a good setup and it could be tense and you could care about something, but this movie, basically the marshal is the good guy, wahlberg is the bad guy who wants to rape the witness. Very bad and the witness had worked for a mob guy or whatever, and then he stole a bunch of money and then ran away. So they're bringing him back to testify against the mob guy. But Topher's character is just a whimpery nerd guy. He never vacillates between allegiances, which is what you would need him to do.
Speaker 2:Well, they kind of just like a very little bit at the beginning, remember, like that first conversation. He's like, hey, I'll give you some money and we'll just not do this anymore and that's it, yeah he doesn't he tried one time.
Speaker 1:Well, well, and also the the bad guy is gonna throw the the marshal out the the window or kill her or whatever. Yeah, and he's, you know, and he like I think he questions tofus, you know. He's like are you okay with that? And he's like what do you know? Sure yeah, yeah you know, and this, this is, this is a point where you see who his character is. Is he? Is he a total dick? It's only about himself.
Speaker 2:But we find out he turns out to be like kind of bonus good guy, which we like yeah, yeah, you know, he's just kind of fine, he's just like hey, I made some bad choices, but uh he said he should be put in the middle of constant moral.
Speaker 1:There's no moral dilemmas in this movie. No one has a moral dilemma for a fraction of a second and without that all we have is just the jeopardy of the situation and the jeopardy of the situation. And the jeopardy of the situation is dopey constantly.
Speaker 2:Well, it's dopey. And also I feel again with knocking him unconscious whenever they need to like divulge some sort of scripty. I just feel like you're losing that urgency. There's no urgency to almost anything that's happening. And these phone calls. I can't wait to talk about these phone calls. But these people on the phone. When she's like, hey, I'm flying a plane and I don't know how to fly, everyone's like, okay, well, let's see what we can do. Huh, no one is like let's get this person on the ground, for the love of God.
Speaker 1:Nobody cares about anything, and when a lot of your major interactions are phone calls, we have we. There was a thing that I don't know somebody taught us in improv. They were like always stand up.
Speaker 2:When you're sitting down, your energy goes down, and when you're talking to somebody on the phone for extended periods, especially who you're not really talking to, like let's, let's keep this in mind these conversations not happening in real time whatsoever oh, so you really think that that they canned all of that?
Speaker 1:they?
Speaker 2:they there's not a. There's not a chance that those people ever talked in real life. Not a chance. I just the the way that the inflections work between the. There's just no way. There's no way, because this person on the plane gets pretty excited sometimes. I don't think she's great, but she has some sort of level of emotion. What's her name? Leah.
Speaker 1:Rimini Leah. Rimini is the woman.
Speaker 2:She never puts any sort of feeling on any words. She's like hey, I sold you out and basically told the bad guy that you're the bad guy. And all leah says is like hey, you know I love you, but thanks, bitch. What, what do you? What do you be upset? She just put a target on your back. You, you're dead. The next scene we never hear from you again and you did not care at all you could.
Speaker 1:You're gonna die and you're like well, that's, that's. Thanks a lot, so bad it's all so bad guess I'll call my children and say goodbye, yeah no, it's just it's.
Speaker 2:It's an embarrassing, all of it's embarrassing, to be honest with you. Also, what's weird? Did you notice that the guy who voices hasan is not the guy who plays hasan at the end? You know, I'm gonna tell you something, tony.
Speaker 1:Oh, oh, please tell me something never saw the end of this movie. Okay, first time ever I haven't finished a movie, though on show. I was to the last five minutes and I think you got onto your account and I got kicked off.
Speaker 1:And I was like, oh, I'll go back and watch it again. I'll watch it, you know, this morning, because it was literally five minutes and I forgot that I didn't finish it. And then I was reading the plot description on Wikipedia and I was like, oh, what wait, what happened? I didn't. I'm like, oh geez, I didn't finish it and this was, like you know, two minutes before he went on. So I was like, yeah well, you know, whatever I read, what happened? Nothing. How did you know it was a different guy?
Speaker 2:uh, because I saw in the credits there's two credits for Hasan. There's Hasan and then Hasan parentheses voice and I was like what? Which you didn't see, I assume. But he shows up at the end and he never speaks. It's like there's a slow motion. They make eye contact, he smiles, and then something else happens and he never speaks. I was like well, that's weird. And then you read the credits and there's a guy that played the voice and there's a guy that played the body. I don't understand why that happened. Somebody needs to tell me. But it's not going to happen.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's weird. It's a weird movie. It's a terrible movie.
Speaker 2:But it's a terrible movie. There's a lot of weird choices that I just I would love to talk to somebody who was in this production and just ask some questions. I just need to know some answers how, why, when? Now were they just sitting on a soundstage with green taking off and, like the first veer that they do, that looked like real plane. But even when we do the first entrance of the airport, there's like a some sort of I don't know if it's a- you mean the crash? A drone shot?
Speaker 2:no, no, when we first see the airport and there's a drone shot moving over the airfield and the airplane and then there's a cop truck or something there. Those are both fake, those are both. Yeah, those are both added in post. You can tell because the coloration and the lighting is completely wrong on both of those vehicles and I was like that is so weird. You don't even have money to get a shitty crop duster plane Like what is going on here. Guys, I don't know. So I don't know if that's just stock footage. Maybe that's what it is. I'm just maybe that is just stock foot. That's getty images right there and they're just adding in some elements that they shot on a green screen. I don't know.
Speaker 1:It's um, it's interesting when they talk about, you know, ai movies and all this. And that's where all the ai is going to end up in these weird little bits in in lower level movies that they just need to. You know it's like it's like the because it's cheaper. It's cheaper and like the plugins for bullets, and you know there's all this kind of stuff. It's just it's people thinking that they can have the veneer of something that looks more expensive, but it just makes you go worse.
Speaker 2:It just makes it look so much worse. Just spend $400, rent a plane for the day. Just set it on a street somewhere, I don't even care, you don't even have to rent it, just be like hey guy, is this your plane? You mind if we shoot it and give you a hundred dollars, he'll do it.
Speaker 1:I don't know, but it has to look the right way and they probably wanted that shot later, that's true. All they had was that CGI plane that they paid for.
Speaker 2:But yeah, I have to imagine everything is. They're just in a little cockpit and you got probably just green screen around, blue screen, green screen, one of the two, because I don't think they have enough money to do any sort of digital stuff. But yeah, yeah, it's fun, fun stuff. And the flip side of all that is it never.
Speaker 1:Nothing ever feels real.
Speaker 2:You're just like yeah, I mean even the motel you're about to say hey, we open on a motel, motel fake. Hey, we open on a motel, the motel's fake. That's a fake scene. You can tell Because the sign lights up and it doesn't light up anything around it. It's all fake, man, it's weird.
Speaker 1:But that's the thing, it was interesting. At one point you're like, oh, maybe they'll crash and then they'll have to be in the snow and something will happen. But this movie you couldn't ever crash because you couldn't.
Speaker 2:Well, they do crash, Dan. Did you not see that part?
Speaker 1:Yeah, sort of this little model Like this. Oh, it got stuck. Just leave it in. We only got an hour and 31. We need to leave every second in this movie. Um, but you couldn't. You couldn't spend that money. It's interesting, I was watching this movie guns akimbo oh, daniel radcliffe, I love guns akimbo and so I watched this stupid movie and then I watched most of guns akimbobo last night. Didn't watch the end. Sure.
Speaker 2:That's kind of your thing. You just don't finish movies now. That's fine Well.
Speaker 1:I fell asleep and then I woke up and saw the one girl blew up and I was like, oh okay, well she's gone. Sure, I thought they were going to fall in love, but I, whatever. You can't really fall in love with a psychopath. But, point being, just like everything in that movie is like him crawling out of windows, him doing this Him going through a thing in the movie and being in the movie, right, and that all feels real. It does. So. Here's the movie, right, and that's that all feels real.
Speaker 2:It does. So here's the thing, right. The flip side of that is, like one of the draws of this movie is that it takes place in one setting, right, we're not. The phone calls all happen off screen. You're not cutting to anybody on the, so like it's cheap. Right, there's an episode of friends, the one where no one's ready, or something like that. They wrote this episode because they didn't have. It was like one of those in between episodes they didn't have money for locations, so they wrote an episode that is entirely inside of Monica's apartment. They never leave the apartment and it's one of the best episodes they've ever done.
Speaker 2:It's so tight, everything is so tightly done because it's all right here You're not going anywhere, you're not worried about anybody, but the five people in this room, six people in this room, that's how many people are friends and it's brilliant, right? So, like there's the flip side of things. It's like if you put everything in one room, you would think that the tension would be constantly there because we're never leaving. I should feel claustrophobic, I should feel trapped on this plane with this guy. You need to feel these things because we never leave. But I'm just like, yeah, we're cool, we're cruising to the Bahamas. I don't give a shit. This is the dumbest plane ride I've ever been on.
Speaker 1:Well, that's because there's no relationship between the characters. Oh yeah, 100% because there's no relationship between the characters.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, 100 mark. Walberg wants to rape tofer and maybe, maybe, do something bad to the woman. I think he wants to rape them both okay so, but he really wants to rape tofer yeah like if he was ranking them, tofer would be way up here on the rape scale and she'd be down he'd get five rapes for every three rapes that the woman would get. Yeah, no, it's weird.
Speaker 1:But so that's not a relationship and Topher's like he's uncomfortable and afraid of him, but there's no relationship there Because there's no connection or interaction. You know, if you're like, like I said, if tofer was in between the two and at times had to constantly make choices, and you know, are you with me, are you with her, are you with her, you with?
Speaker 2:his own survival right, like he should.
Speaker 1:He needs to have to like navigate this situation, as opposed to just sitting back and just being like well you know, you know, and at one point tofer should be like I'm I'm gonna kill him, I'm going back's like no, you're not killing, she tases him. We're just like it's constant thing about who has status right. Nobody has status in this. They're all just a bunch of people that are all like, well, I guess what's going to happen with you, know? And she's bad at her job, oh, she's terrible at her job.
Speaker 2:Why is she bad at her job? That's a that's a bad decision she doesn't.
Speaker 1:She doesn't secure weapons, she doesn't secure people right right, she doesn't secure people.
Speaker 2:That's my biggest problem.
Speaker 1:You've got a bad guy back there and you're like well, this piece of leather will hold him. He's up there like she refuses to kill him.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she's like I won't kill him because I'm I'm a better person. He's to go to jail. That's a fine way to build that character. But she doesn't lock him up at one point. She like knocks him out with that flare and from what I can tell, he's just laying in the back for at least five minutes just untethered, just like hanging out enjoying his life. It's real weird.
Speaker 1:Once you set up that, you have autopilot where you can just any. You just click a switch and everyone. You know it's, it's a stage play, you know it's like yeah, wherever you want, do whatever you want, doesn't matter. Go make a cocktail, doesn't? Who cares? You know, it should have been that somebody was always on that had to be on that stick, right?
Speaker 2:yes, so you should always, autopilot should have been destroyed. I don't know how a plane works but autopilot should have been disabled. Mark Wahlberg should have just done that before he got on the plane. He should have just snip, snip. I assume it's one cable, I don't know anything about it?
Speaker 1:Just gotta snip twice. Don't snip once, snip twice.
Speaker 2:One here, one here. Autopilot's done, but you Measure once, snip twice. She almost doesn't need to be in the cockpit at all. She could be in the back like holding a gun and just be like Topher. Hey, look out this window. If you see a mountain, let me know and I'll come fly the plane. Otherwise, we're fine, we're cruising, yeah, you could have had it.
Speaker 1:So someone has to be on the stick constantly, and so when tovar's on the stick, he has whoever's on the stick has some power and control. Yes, and each time it switches we see the power shift, you know, and and you know. So she's on there and tovar's like doesn't want to go back and he's trying to decide, you know, do I want to be with you or with with him? And he's all like, he's like go tie him up, and he's all like no, I'm like go tie him up, and he's all like no, I'm not going to, I'm going to shoot you. Okay, shoot me.
Speaker 1:Then he's coming up to get you, you know, and then you have to shoot it. These are moral conflicts that could happen in this situation.
Speaker 2:There's no moral conflicts in this show at all. Should Mark Wahlberg be there to kill him, or let me pitch something else? Should Mark Wahlberg be there to give him an ultimatum and be like hey, come with me, we're going back to Mr Gio Vetti or I'm going to kill?
Speaker 1:you. There's a big pile of money somewhere. There's a big pile of money somewhere and Gio Vetti, or whatever his name is, he wants the money back.
Speaker 2:Yeah. And so he's got to decide, like, am I going to try? Wants the money back? Yeah, and so he's got to decide like am I gonna try and do the right thing with this government, lady, or life, a crime, and either way I could die. I don't really know like I, I don't know, I don't know, it doesn't matter, it didn't happen.
Speaker 1:I was just wondering, yeah these, these are all things that you know. I, I can't believe this if the script I doubt the script dealt with all these things. I don't believe it. I think that you know. I think those scripts, yeah, a lot of times they're, like you know, kind of sexy. You know, like you said, oh sexy, it's three, three characters and in a triangle and they battle it out.
Speaker 2:Okay, that sounds it should be a nice tight thriller full of character development, moral choices. You're right, because you're not doing action right, like it's not an action movie. So the the conflict needs to come from within. Yeah, it has to be this, this triangle of conflict, and it's just not. It's just not at all, it's a lot of.
Speaker 1:So a lot of phone calls and then people giving their weird backstories. I got kicked off of the case because I let a prisoner go to the bathroom alive she was burning alive and I just ran away. You're like, wait a second, right, that's what. That's what the story was, right it's a?
Speaker 2:that's exactly what the story is burning alive, and, and this woman. She ran nothing like yeah, she just ran away. So this is cowardice. She's already already on fire. Okay, like, what am I going to really do?
Speaker 1:But that has to be the sense. You know, if that's your character trait, then that's what she has to get over. Right, she wouldn't run into the fire.
Speaker 2:What a perfect experience to get over losing one of your people, to save this one. But she never has that urgency. She's never like no know I need to keep you alive because I'm not losing another one like you are my redemption. You, you have to live. She doesn't really care, she's like I mean, I want you to live because you, I really want you to testify.
Speaker 1:It would be good for us if you testify please, yeah, this probably helped me get my main job back, but she doesn't seem that invested in getting her job back I don't.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna go on a limb and say she shouldn't get her job back. I'm just kidding. She should never get her job back. She should be at a desk for the rest of her life. I'm sorry she is not good the.
Speaker 1:The best part in the movie is where she's they're like trying to use the radio, all radio, and then she. And then she's like, oh yeah, I got a satellite phone in my pocket.
Speaker 2:I have a satellite phone in my pocket this whole time. She's the dumbest person in the world.
Speaker 1:Okay, we've talked about this movie enough, goodbye.
Speaker 2:Almost 20 minutes, real quick though. So it was on the blacklist. You said yeah. So now I don't know. If you know this, you can tell me. If you don't know, people can just bid on those scripts.
Speaker 1:then on the blacklist and then they just get made. Yeah, it's an unproduced and, I believe, an unoptioned script, so you just walk over there and option it anytime you want. And I believe a few other blacklist movies have been made and I'm thinking the results were equivalent to this interesting.
Speaker 2:We should find a list okay, I'm gonna try to find a list of like all the blacklist movies that were made, and we'll just do them all yeah so we start the movie. That's interesting yeah, let's do it uh snowy day at the igloo motel.
Speaker 1:There's topher grace. He's considered oh, I wrote as an actor. He's considering how to revive his career. This movie.
Speaker 2:Wrong choice. Didn't work out for you bud.
Speaker 1:There's some movie where he played the tech millionaire and he's really good.
Speaker 2:I don't remember what it was, but I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 1:He's making cup of noodles which is not actually called cup of noodles. It's called cup noodles Cup noodles, not cup of noodles.
Speaker 2:Cup noodles, really. Why do we think it's called cup of noodles? Because we're insane. I thought you were going to say it's the Mandela effect. I was trying to lead you into that, but you think it's just because we're all crazy. Yeah, okay, cool.
Speaker 1:He actually wasn't making cup noodles. He was making well, because it's called cup noodles, because it comes from Japan and they just called it cup noodles. We call it cup un-noodles because we're a bunch of Americans.
Speaker 2:Because we're a bunch of hillbilly hicks.
Speaker 1:Yeah, sounds better, I'll get myself a cup of noodles. Well, there was Lipton cup of soup.
Speaker 2:So they're just conflating it yeah.
Speaker 1:And there was one called Mugga Lunch. I can show you Mugga Lunch.
Speaker 2:Yeah, don't eat that one. Mugga lunch yeah, don't eat that one.
Speaker 1:That doesn't sound good at all. Are you going?
Speaker 2:to go get it. You have one. I can't wait for this. Bring us a cup. What do you got?
Speaker 1:There's a vintage.
Speaker 2:Cup of soup Onion.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's why we got a cup of noodles Onion soup.
Speaker 2:Onion soup is the greatest thing ever. That can't be right, dan. What do you put in it? You make it into dip, like a French onion dip.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's how you make onion dip. I didn't know that. You take a pouch of onion soup and you mix it into a thing of sour cream and you have the best dip in the world.
Speaker 2:Interesting Listen recipes by Dan. Thank you, I didn't know that I don't make things. I make meatballs, which is two parts barbecue sauce, one part great jelly, and then you just put it in a slow cooker with some meatballs and they are sweet and salty. Oh my God.
Speaker 1:How do you try that? Oh, you buy pre-made meatballs.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you think I make them. You could also do it with cocktail weenies, if that helps. The little smokies those are good too in there. It's the same sauce, so it's the same ingredients, just different meat, and it both works. I learned two things this week.
Speaker 1:First they're called buffalo wings because they're from the city of Buffalo.
Speaker 2:No way Is that true, that is true.
Speaker 1:They've said this all over the Superbowl oh, I, we, uh.
Speaker 2:We turned that off pretty quick. We were like, ooh, this is terrible. We just watched the halftime.
Speaker 1:Um, that was smart, yeah. And the other thing I learned was that Cindy Lauper saying the peewee, peewees playhouse a theme song Pee-wee's.
Speaker 2:Playhouse theme song. You learned two very different things this week. I love it. I didn't know that either. That's I mean great, great for her.
Speaker 1:You could tell the story about the two things you learned next week on the show and they will be the same things I learned.
Speaker 2:I'll have to seek out something to learn. I don't generally learn things, yeah, so I'll do my best. What?
Speaker 1:are we talking about Cup, so I'll do my best. What are we talking about? Cup noodles? Nope, I don't know?
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's making cup noodles in the hotel.
Speaker 1:Boom Topher hears a noise at the window. He's on the run. We know he's on the run. What's at the window, tony?
Speaker 2:Oh no, you're going to make me name. Is it a moose? Is it an elk? What is it? It's a CGI moose. No, this is a real moose, it's definitely a real moose.
Speaker 1:I love the CGI moose. I was like if this movie keeps this up.
Speaker 2:But it doesn't. It doesn't at the very end.
Speaker 1:At the very end is the big payoff.
Speaker 2:You're right.
Speaker 1:No, you're right, you're right payoff at the end I.
Speaker 2:This whole intro scene is really terribly done, but in a funny way you know what I mean like it's much funnier than the next 85 minutes. No, and then you're right, the end is very funny again, um, but I just wish that it was this level of camp throughout the whole movie and I think I would have enjoyed it a lot have.
Speaker 1:Have you been watching the new Reacher?
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's the thing that I love this week. You spoiled it, Dan. Oh, you don't like it. It's interesting. We'll talk about Reacher later. Okay let's talk about it, let's put a pin in it.
Speaker 1:There's the same sort of officer martial woman in Reacher. She's great, you're just like I love her. She's great, you're just like I love her. Is she doing a Boston accent? Is that what she's doing?
Speaker 2:You think I can name. I can't even do accents, Dan. I can't name an accent of someone else doing it. But yeah, that sounds right.
Speaker 1:Okay. So then he says fucking Alaska. Then the troopers bust in and they grab him and say okay, you're going to testify against the bad guy.
Speaker 2:But wait, where do they put him? This is my favorite part of the movie. They put him in cuffs and then they are going to throw him on the bed and Topher's like not the bedspread, it's crusty. That's the best laugh of the whole movie.
Speaker 1:He makes a bunch of jokes and they're fine. He can deliver a joke.
Speaker 2:Yeah, of course. Yeah, if you let him, which sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
Speaker 1:He wants full immunity. She's like makes a one call, let me call in and see if you can get full immunity. And then they're like maybe.
Speaker 2:Yeah, not how any of this works, but yeah, he goes to the. Can we do this? Hold on On her phone call. What does she say? She says, oh yeah, okay, here it is, I wrote it down. I was like, so she calls it in and we don't hear the other side of the conversation, thankfully. And the first word she says is, yep, clean capture. What does that mean? What does that mean?
Speaker 1:They didn't shoot anyone. What did?
Speaker 2:that person ask her.
Speaker 1:Did you have to shoot him in the nuts?
Speaker 2:That's what I asked. Just the left one, just the left one. He's still got one left, that's my number one question. So dumb, clean capture. No, okay, you're dumb. Sorry, the dialogue's not great in this movie.
Speaker 1:We do a whole setup where he's all like I gotta pee, and then they let him go pee and then that's it. There's not. He doesn't really figure out a way to try to escape again, he just wants no, they're doing the.
Speaker 2:uh, the joke that you've heard a million times, which is like hey, if I have handcuffs, you're gonna have to touch my peepee while I go to the bathroom, and that's like the beginning. And then we're credits because that's a great joke no one's ever done before and it worked really well.
Speaker 1:Oh, Should have had the number two. I was watching something else where they're talking about number two and you're going to have to wipe my ass. What was I watching?
Speaker 2:Sure See, because people make these jokes all the time.
Speaker 1:They did all that stuff in Guns Akimbo.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, yeah, there you go and they do, they did, they did number two, because it's a little more intensive.
Speaker 1:A movie, yeah, and at one point he then what's his name? Helps him put on his clothes and then he's like, uh, he has to eat a hot dog and he's like put it in my mouth and the guy's like he draws the line and put in his mouth.
Speaker 1:Okay, you know, this was funny, it was funny in that movie. You you were like okay, this is, it's a mess and he's got cotton glue to his hands. Yeah, he does Chartered. So we go see the chartered plane they're taking. We do a Spirit Airlines joke and here we meet Daryl Booth, as played by Marky Mark, as played by Donnie Wahlberg, marky Wahlberg, whatever One of the Wahlbergers, mark.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Mark Marky.
Speaker 1:Mark and he plays I'm the world's biggest Yoko. I'm such a Yoko, now why does he play?
Speaker 2:Yoko. Well, right, so they're in Alaska, right yeah? Why does he sound like he's from the South.
Speaker 1:So they're in Alaska, right yeah? Why does he sound like he's from the South? Why does he sound like anything but himself? So as to make them realize that this is like a weird caricature that he's put on to be weird? I?
Speaker 2:don't know, I don't know. It's bizarre. Why does he have hair? Why is he wearing a toupee under the hat? Because he's going to take off the hat and he's bald. Why is he wearing a toupee under the hat? Because he's gonna take off the hat and he's bald? Why is he wearing a toupee under the hat? They don't know who he is. It's a big. The hair isn't doing anything.
Speaker 1:They don't have a thing where it's like look out because one of mariotti's guys is around. He's he's weirdly bald. He's got sort of a friar tuck haircut. Watch out for the friar tuck man also.
Speaker 2:Just a hat accomplishes the same thing. You don't need a fake toupee to have the little tuft coming out. I don't. It's super weird man now, is he?
Speaker 2:wearing a bald cap no, so this is the only thing that I looked up, because I was like man, this looks really weird because it doesn't quite look like a bald cap, but it also looks like they didn't make up it at all, because it doesn't. His face two tones right, it's like super pale. The top of his head has never seen the sun before in his entire life and then his face is nice and tan and I was like, if he's an actual bald man, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. So I had to look it up and he shaved his head. Yeah, yeah, he shaved his head every day before filming. That filming only lasted 22 days, so it wasn't that much of a sacrifice. But uh, yeah, he'd be in the makeup chair and they would shave spots in his hair because he didn't want to wear a bald cap, because he thought it would look bad. And then it turns out it looked bad anyhow, and I'm sure that's embarrassing for him. It's one of those things you probably instantly regret.
Speaker 1:I mean, it happened I mean a good makeup person should have been able to put some makeup on that big pedipal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you would think that you not even that much. Just maybe powder, it, maybe put on like a foundation, I don't know Just to match the colors, because again, he is a person with hair, so his head has never seen the sun before in his 54 years of life. I made that number up.
Speaker 1:Why are you so pale?
Speaker 2:I'm pale everywhere, though it matches, because I don't go outside. I'm afraid of it. All right, I stay indoors at all times.
Speaker 1:I'm like the best tanner in the world. You know that right.
Speaker 2:Are you a bronzer? Do you bronze? No, I burn.
Speaker 1:It's like I go out there in the sun. I just turn like the perfect color.
Speaker 2:Everything's perfect so I didn't mean you, do you use bronzer? That was confusing. I mean, does your skin get like a nice golden brown, or whatever they call it? Yeah, because I don't tan. Yeah, I just go straight to burn.
Speaker 1:Yeah that that's because you come from an Arctic climate.
Speaker 2:I do, and I sure do, probably going back there soon. I'm a sun person. You're an LA native. People don't always know that about you, dan.
Speaker 1:Well, southern California, they take off. He's Daryl Booth. Okay, oh, he's the bad guy. It's bumpy Because he's bald.
Speaker 2:Topher makes a joke about that, that it's something about it's worse getting raped by a bald guy. I don't remember exactly what the line is, but it's in there somewhere and I was like that's really offensive.
Speaker 1:Because that's embarrassing. It's like if I get raped by a guy with a full head of hair.
Speaker 2:That's good looking, it's okay, it's fine like it wouldn't be great, but I'm you know it's fine. At least he's good looking, but as soon as you're bald, it's like this is the worst thing that's ever happened unbelievable, these people man oh man, that must sting.
Speaker 1:They take off. They put on headsets. Wahlberg and the marshal put on headsets, so they're talking. And now Topher Grace. They can't hear Topher Grace because it's really loud In a plane like that. It's very loud, 100% yeah. Even though it wasn't very loud in this movie, of course.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, because that would be a lot for the audience. And if we had to do this thing where it's loud until someone puts on the headsets and then it quiets down, as if we're the ones with headsets, I mean that's just a lot of post work. So we're not going to do it, don't got it.
Speaker 1:They hit a bird, so they fly higher. Then Topher sees the thing on the floor. It's the actual pilot's name and picture, and so now we know he's the bad guy. Then he tries to get her attention so he finally bites off a button spits it at her, which is pretty incredible to think about.
Speaker 2:He went one for one. Nicely done Well, but he could have bounced off and she'd been like what is going on?
Speaker 1:She doesn't care. Wahlberg gets a barf bag and then she.
Speaker 2:There's a moment, dan, where they're talking, the two people up front are talking, and then we cut to Topher doing like mocking them oh, I'm this relatively attractive person and I'm doing that. And then we cut right back to the people up front and he is in a like he wasn't doing that at all. So I think there's just a really funny moment to me where they're clearly filming inserts of this scene and like Mel must have just been like Topher, do whatever you want on this one, do whatever you want. And then they just cut it in. But he doesn't do it in the wide, so it doesn't match up. So he's like doing this and all of a sudden he's like this, looking out the window as you cut in the middle of the conversation. It's unfortunate, but they really wanted to get that joke in there, I think um, then she, the Marshall's starting to suspect.
Speaker 1:She's like how'd you know about seattle? Because you're a yankee and yankees always want to go back to the lower 48s.
Speaker 2:Please stop does he say the lower 48s? Because that's actually a pretty good line. Of course it's a good line. Um, okay, damn good. So you know what else is a good line that he says? At some point he says, and I quote you remind me of this gal I used to fiddle with, which is one of the grossest ways. I've ever heard anyone say something like that and I was like, okay, that's kudos to whoever wrote that line. Probably Mark Wahlberg, let's be honest, but it was gross. It turned me off immediately. Probably Mark.
Speaker 1:Wahlberg, let's be honest. But like it was gross, it turned me off immediately. So then she asks the whole, like the most classic trap thing. When I flew up here I flew with this pilot, mcgurky, and McGurky says that blah, blah, blah, and then he's all like oh yeah, mcgurky.
Speaker 2:he's a real good guy. We used to hang on out down at the barn, McGurky wasurk.
Speaker 1:He's a real good guy. We used to hang on out down at the barn McGurk. It was a lady. Let's fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, let's fight.
Speaker 2:She loses, she gets knocked down, yeah, pretty handily, and then Walbert gets to lay out the plot.
Speaker 1:Mr Mariotti is angry and Cofar's like I'll give you a million in crypto. And then he's all like there's reasons why I would rather rape you than get a million in crypto. We're never gonna talk about what these reasons are. There's no history, but I he says a really funny line.
Speaker 2:He's like do I look like the kind of guy who fucks around with crypto, which was a good line? The problem is then toffer immediately pivots and says, well, I can get you cash I have I could do cash. That's where it fell apart. If crypto was the only thing that he could offer, because that's like I don't know, maybe that's the only way he's liquid, or whatever. That's I great. This guy doesn't understand crypto. I don't understand crypto.
Speaker 1:Yeah, not that I understand anything but there's always this intimation that there's some deeper connection between these characters.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but there's not. But there's not Other than the sweet, sweet loving that Mark wants to do with the two of them. That's all he cares about, which outweighs every other logical decision he'll have. He wants to rape them so badly that he refuses to kill the cop blade. He's going to disappear. He wants to rape them so badly that he refuses to kill the cop blade he's going to disappear. He wants to kill, like just kill them both and then just leave. But he wants to have sex with them so badly that he can't even do his job properly. That's weird.
Speaker 1:That's a weird thing. He does say I do this for fun, I do this for free.
Speaker 2:I know it's weird, it's really weird this is weird.
Speaker 1:If you're, if you're setting up a character that weird in your movie, you gotta, you gotta get. You're gonna give every other character a bunch of backstory that they talk about. You don't give him any backstory and doesn't he do a whole thing. It's like you don't know what my real name is and we, yeah, something like that yeah figure out what his real name is, because no one cares what your name I don't why would I care what your name is?
Speaker 2:to me, you're a guy on a job. That's all. That's all I know so far, that's good for you.
Speaker 1:I don't need to know the name of the person that's interested in raping me because, even if you did, it wouldn't mean anything, because he doesn't matter to anything um, and then I guess she just wakes up and then attacks him and tases him. Is that what happens?
Speaker 2:well, she's kind of awake for a while like you see her pull out the taser and get ready wake up now. Wake up now and yeah, you know the use she gets tased and he's he returned.
Speaker 1:He turns out bald, then he's talking about raping her, then he tases her, then she tases him, and then she tases him more than he tased her.
Speaker 2:So her tasing I mean she tases him at that last one for a good 20, 20 seconds, I think. And I don't know. I've never been tased. No, I'll just I'll. I don't know, I've never been tased. No, I'll just I'll let you know that my wife has been tased because she took a self-defense class and one of the things is they make you get tased, so you know what it feels like. Anyhow, I don't think you're supposed to tase somebody that long. I think that's really bad for them.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, you can kill, I would assume.
Speaker 2:But he's fine, Other than his chest is literally smoking when we see him next. Other than that he's fine.
Speaker 1:I watch the cop videos sometimes and it's always the best when they tase people. There's like this one where this guy's running across the lawn, they hit him with the taser and literally he just face plant Flat out, he just nothing in his body continues to work, oh man. Bam, he's just bam. He's on grass. But yeah, there are people that can take a tasing. And then there's a lot of people who are just like I'm done, Done, done, done.
Speaker 2:For sure, I'm definitely the latter, but I do. I feel like Mark Wahlberg would be the former. I think he's 40 seconds on him, 40 seconds on him, 40 seconds.
Speaker 1:But of course, during all this, now the plane is crashing, she pulls up. They don't crash, they click on the autopilot.
Speaker 2:Dan, can you tell me something about airplanes? Yes, so this airplane is basically in a nose dive, almost right. Yes, shouldn't they be? Maybe not zero G, but shouldn't they be? Maybe not zero G, but shouldn't they be lifting off their seats a little Like I hit turbulence in a plane for like one second and I'm off the seat a little? Shouldn't there be some sort of distortion?
Speaker 1:of gravity. I don't know that makes sense. I hadn't thought about that. But yeah, I mean, flying a plane is very hard. You have to keep the nose right, you have to keep the airspeed right because you'll stall out. There's all sorts of terrible things that happen.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've played a lot of flight simulators in my day.
Speaker 1:It's tough, is it?
Speaker 2:It's tough yeah.
Speaker 1:But are you playing Piper Cubs or are you doing like jets?
Speaker 2:What did you just say, piper?
Speaker 1:Club Piper Cub. Piper Cub is like a small, you know, single fixed wing.
Speaker 2:No, I'm flying jets, mostly military jets because they're fast. I like to pretend I'm in Top Gun. Is that really so bad? Jeez guys, it's pretending.
Speaker 1:Winston's freaking out. He's pissed himself. We never really deal with the piss, or see the piss.
Speaker 2:It dries immediately. From what I can tell, because we can see his legs he's got no pee-pee on him at all.
Speaker 1:She has to cut off her restraints and Winston helps her. Winston's like, shoot him. And then she's like I'm not going to kill him. She goes and searches him, she ties him up, she finds a paper on him and then she's all like she looks at the one paper and goes, oh, and then he's all like what's on that piece of paper?
Speaker 2:What is it, what is it, what is it.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, no, no. It's like could you telegraph your emotions a little more to the person who doesn't need the information.
Speaker 2:I don't think she could. I think, even if she tried really hard, I think she's at a 10. I really do. There's no room for up, there's only down.
Speaker 1:This is the only time she ever pulls up to 10. You know, it's like make sure that Topher understands.
Speaker 2:You really need him to ask about this piece of paper, really sell it. And on that piece of paper is a picture of his mom's house and the address why would this guy have a picture of the mom's house and the address in like another state that he's not in? Yeah, I guess. My only guess would be like to try to persuade Topher to do something, but he's not there to do that, he's only there to kill him. So it's confusing.
Speaker 1:Okay, he's freaking out about his mom. Then she tries to use the radio. She talks to this one guy and his first thing so she's on the radio this guy says you don't sound like a pilot. After one line he's like you don't sound like a pilot.
Speaker 2:Well, she didn't do a call sign, dan. All right. It's like if you get on a cv radio and you do, you try to talk as a human and they're like what the hell's this? Get off the radio, boy.
Speaker 1:You know that sort of thing uh, then she, she realizes you know when they, when they lose this guy. Oh, I have a satellite phone in my pocket. She talks to a guy, she talks to a person, and the person is like we're going to find you a pilot, and then Marky Mark wakes up. Wake up, they point a gun at him, and then we realize he is psycho. Sure, yeah, Talk about. Hass up, wake up, they point a gun at him, and then we realize he is psycho.
Speaker 2:Sure, yeah, talk about hasan, the person that's helping her fly. I okay, there's something wrong with him and I don't know what it is. Maybe we'll get into it in the sequel, right, but he is not a real human. I know that. I know it's got to be. The machines are trying to do something. I don't know what the, what, the whole plan is, but the ai wants to for grace, and that's what I got from this movie.
Speaker 2:This guy can't deliver a line and sound human to save his life. She is. She's not a pilot, she's flying a criminal and he's just the weirdest fucking thing. He's like oh okay, yeah, sure you, we should go out to dinner sometime. What's happening? Why is he? Why is he hitting on her a little bit, but also not really at all. He, it's the. It's embarrassing. It's the worst voiceover work I've ever heard in my entire life and I'm so glad that the guy that shows up in the movie isn't the guy doing that. But I'm going to tell you right now, if I was the guy who shows up as Hassan at the end of the movie, I would be fucking livid that everybody thinks I just delivered that performance. That would be the most embarrassing, gut-wrenching moment of my life. If I saw this movie at the premiere and I was like who the fuck did that voiceover? Why are they pretending it's me? Because it's terrible.
Speaker 1:More importantly, if this is your movie and someone gives you that performance, you're just like we got to do this again.
Speaker 2:Mel, just do it yourself, buddy, I don't even care.
Speaker 1:Just do it yourself, buddy, I don't even care, just do it yourself, man, mel could do it, I mean, and she doesn't even kind of react to it, right?
Speaker 2:Because they're not. I'm telling you.
Speaker 1:right now they are not talking, but one of them has to go first and then hear the other one, right?
Speaker 2:Do you mean logically, or you think that's really happening in the movie? Wait a second.
Speaker 1:So she's just responding to. So both of them are responding to voices that don't exist.
Speaker 2:Exactly. I guarantee you that someone is reading off camera for her, so she is not hearing this Hassan guy deliver those lines. Someone is reading next to her outside of the cockpit Got it. Is my guess.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't know anything that makes more sense.
Speaker 2:I would be even willing to wager. Nobody is saying anything and they're just kind of going blind. But I don't know, I can't prove that.
Speaker 1:Because he's so weird, so creepy. He's so weird and it's like you were talking.
Speaker 2:You used to be like you turned it over, and you'd be like we are in trouble, something's going on on the ground. We are in trouble, they're trying to murder us. That's what I would say.
Speaker 1:So all these parts. There's no acting available to anyone. She can't act because she's not acting against someone. I'm telling you.
Speaker 2:That has to be the case.
Speaker 1:She's not acting because he's not acting against her performance. No everybody's in separate buildings.
Speaker 2:Oh, I think we're isolated and I think we're just slopping it together in post and it does not work.
Speaker 1:It's so terrible.
Speaker 2:But also I am willing to wager that Mel did not do the help with the voiceover work. I'm going to give Mel Gibson the benefit of the doubt which I guess I shouldn't, because he's a bad guy, right that he was not there for whatever. If it was a phone call or a Zoom and they're just recording it, I don't know what it is, but there's no way that the director is there and listening to that and is like, yeah, that'll fit in my movie.
Speaker 1:See me, because none of them do. So you're saying some guy just self-taped this and shipped it in.
Speaker 2:I swear to God, this is my educated guest, dan. Wow, this is what I'm telling you. I could be way off. Who knows, maybe they have a boom mic and the guy's standing right outside and they're really doing it, but if that's the case, it's the worst acting that has to be more than the movie cost to make.
Speaker 1:It does not say on Wikipedia how much was spent making this movie.
Speaker 2:There's no way. It's more than $20 million.
Speaker 1:Really.
Speaker 2:You can make this off of $2 million, well, but you got Mark Wahlberg.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, I mean ignoring the salaries, yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, that's got to be all of it, though, right, don't you think?
Speaker 1:I mean, I don't know the main lady. I guess there's a question. If you're not paying, you know if we, if we just have, you know actors, nobody knows like you and me and and suke, yeah, we're the three characters. I'm playing walbert, you're playing toffer grace and suke's playing marshall. I'm incredible, um okay, I okay. Well, I'm gonna tell suit, kate, you said that uh, unfortunately, I'd probably play the programmer and you'd probably be walmart, wouldn't you?
Speaker 2:yeah, you do. I'm already bald.
Speaker 1:You know it's working out in my favor all we need to do is get you a hat. Um, how much would that movie cost us to make?
Speaker 2:I mean, obviously there are different levels, but to make it at, this level, I mean you're looking at two mil right Like not a lot but, more than we can afford.
Speaker 1:No no, no, I understand, I'm just saying However To do all the stuff they're doing without paying exorbitant prices for actors you could do it for about two million dollars.
Speaker 2:I'm going to tell you right now, though we could make this movie better and just never show the outside of the airplane, because that's where you're gonna sink a lot of your money. Right, you get an airplane set, you, that's it. That's pretty much 90 of your movie. Right, and then you rent a motel that's 100 bucks. Right, you can do. You can do this movie very cheap, but the outside's gonna look even worse, which is shocking because it already looks terrible, but it would look worse because you know we're not good. We're not good at it, but you can. You can make this movie for relatively cheaper okay, uh, he starts singing.
Speaker 1:Who's singing? Oh no, hasan tells him to head to the head to the coast, and then turn left.
Speaker 2:Okay, we're mark walberg starts singing a little.
Speaker 1:He does some singing. Now we do more rape talk. Then he sees that this knife that was there at the beginning of the movie is underneath one of the chairs.
Speaker 2:Now we need to talk about this. Okay, so the knife flies out of Mark Wahlberg's hands earlier and hits Topher in the forehead. Okay, the butt of the knife hits him, which is a classic joke, right?
Speaker 2:And then it falls to his feet slightly under the seat. Yep, he knows where the knife is. Yes, and it just happens to be right next to the piece of paper with the license, or whatever the aircraft license of the pilot which he picks up and gives to the lady. Yep, nobody picks up the knife, it's laying right next to it.
Speaker 1:I believe she went looking for the knife and couldn't find it.
Speaker 2:It's right next to it.
Speaker 1:Dan, it's perfectly exposed right on the floor that anyone could see. And they show it several times and I believe she did go looking for it at one point where it would have been in the same spot and could not find it. It's ridiculous, because she goes looking for it and then has to use the crappy scissors in the first aid kit.
Speaker 2:He can't see it, she can't see it, but he knows where it is. That's what bothers me. He literally hit him in the face, fell to the ground. He knows exactly where it is and that's where she looks also.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's bad. No, she's a terrible agent.
Speaker 2:She is really bad. She's incompetent at best Okay.
Speaker 1:Boom, he starts singing. He sees the knife. They're heading towards the mountain. Turns out they got to go higher. They go higher, but they don't go high enough, and so this plane flies through a big pile of snow and keeps going.
Speaker 2:It's totally fine. Listen, I've never done it right, so I don't know exactly what would happen. Maybe it could work. Maybe it could work. I'm betting it wouldn't. And to the point where, if someone was like, hey, it's going to work and you should try it, I'd be like no, sir, because there's no way that's actually going to work and I'm going to crash.
Speaker 1:What are you supposed to do? What is every other decent movie that does this exact same bit?
Speaker 2:This is a bit that's a common bit. What do they do? They just barely make it and they hit a little bit of stuff. Maybe they lose their wheels or something. That's what happens they lose Something that doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1:They lose their landing gear, which does matter, that's the word, which means that it's going to be harder for them to land when the time comes.
Speaker 2:It's already pretty hard, dan, she does not do a good job. Yeah no, this plane goes straight through. It's so weird.
Speaker 1:I don't know. The knife slides all the way back right to where Mark Wahlberg is. And what does he do with that knife?
Speaker 2:It's my second favorite part of the movie. He grabs the knife with his feet and then is trying to throw it up to his body with his feet behind and nobody notices this and it's hilarious to me.
Speaker 1:And then what does he end up doing with that knife? Once he catches it, does he do anything? No, he never catches it and we forget about the knife. Okay, that's what I thought. Yeah, yeah, he just like gives up, right, I have no idea.
Speaker 2:He gives up because he grabs it with his feet, he throws it up and like it hits and rolls down his body and he's like, ah, shoot, or something like that. Nobody's paying any attention. He's back here like trying to get the knife, and then I think he just forgets about it. He's just like, ah, too much work, I'll figure out another way, because I'm back here and nobody's watching me anyhow, so it's fine.
Speaker 1:Then he starts talking to her. He talks to her about how she killed a prisoner. She freaks out that he knows about her life. Okay, she attacks him. How do you know that? How do you know that? And then we talk about burned alive and wails on him. She punches and punches him and then, when she gets tired of punching him, she leaves. And it turns out that he has now pickpocketed her glasses.
Speaker 2:Her sunglasses. First of all, I forgot about the glasses.
Speaker 1:We need to go back and talk about that, because she's not wearing sunglasses in the beginning of this movie oh, I don't know, but if she puts them on, not in the big she puts them on, she puts them on yes, she does so after she has no sunglasses on for the first 20 minutes of this film.
Speaker 2:Right, then they have the little scuffle and she locks him up in the back. Yeah, and at some point she just pulls aviators out of her pocket and puts them on. For no other reason, except for in two scenes Mark Wahlberg needs to steal her aviators in order to escape. She pulls them out of nowhere. Maybe the sun came out. It's just totally random, Well she has like an fbi pouch, but you have to establish that earlier I don't care.
Speaker 2:You can't establish it right before you need it. That's dumb. You got to put just make it simple, because I didn't even know where she got them from. I thought maybe they were mark walberg, because she just like found him, was like, oh, these are cool. Now I'm a pilot, because why does she have aviators to begin with? It's all weird.
Speaker 1:She has sunglasses. You need sunglasses to look cool.
Speaker 2:If you're a marshal, she doesn't, though, because she drives outside into to the airport. She's outside for before the airport never has sunglasses on, but now that she's inside the plane, after about 30 to 40 minutes, she's like you know what? I guess I need sunglasses now, you're such a continuity bitch.
Speaker 2:But CB, that's what you'd call me, for sure. But moving forward, she's punching him in the face, dan. Okay, very ineffectively, we'll say, because he's not bleeding at all at first, and she's punched him three or four times, but then she hugs him. There's like this weird that's how he gets the glasses, because his hands, remember, are up here, yeah, so she's punching from a standing position and then basically leans forward, so he's grabbing her boobies and then she's like wrestling him in like a headlock situation, which that's not even a move you would do when someone's tied up, and then she gets away and then she elbows him and then he finally bleeds and then she goes back up front like nothing ever happened and he's just like now I got your sunglasses. How would she not notice that he has sunglasses in his hand? It's all weird, it's terrible. It was terrible. You love this movie. It's terrible. This is terrible. You love this movie? I do. I had a great time, you can't tell.
Speaker 1:I'm having a blast.
Speaker 2:So then he takes apart the glasses and then is going to use them as not to pick the lock but to scrape the To saw through, saw through. I don't really know anything about it, but that seems hard.
Speaker 1:Then she finishes the story about what happened where there was the, the prisoner. She let pee and then they threw a molotov cocktail in there and then she ran away as the lady burned to death I, I like that you chuckled on that line.
Speaker 2:It's funny, as she burned to death. Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 1:It's weird man so now she's like, okay, there's a, there's a mole in the department, and so she thinks the mole is her boss. And so then she calls the director and then the director's assistant's like, hey, that is Summerhouse. And then she's all like you get him on the phone and people are gonna die.
Speaker 2:It's so weird that one he just has like an assistant that doesn't know anything that's going on. It's really bad, Like wouldn't she be at the office maybe and like see all these other people freaking out? I mean, when you were running, like a giant it's not like this is like a gigantic operation.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think that the, the, the assistant to the chief, would would know you know, probably know a little bit, maybe not the particulars of the case. That's the person who has to know the most.
Speaker 2:Well, you're right, so whatever, Super weird, who are you?
Speaker 1:What's happening? I don't think so. He's barbecuing today.
Speaker 2:He's so busy, so busy in the sun.
Speaker 1:That's the thing about it is you're setting up these obstacles that are just dumb obstacles, Say, oh my God, he's out at his house. We have trouble getting reception out there. We're going to probably have to send an agent out there with a satellite phone to get him or something. There's a million things you can do that aren't like. You know how incompetent we are.
Speaker 2:We're really incompetent, You're going to have to prove the dumbest agency ever. Us Marshals Waste.
Speaker 1:Okay, they get to the coast, they call Hassan and then she's figured out Now she refigures out that it's not her boss. That's bad, it's the director. That's bad. So she calls her boss and it's like hey boss.
Speaker 2:But she already told the director that it was her boss.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so the director now wants to kill the boss, because then that'll.
Speaker 2:Doesn't really make any sense. She's the perfect scapegoat.
Speaker 1:So Topher pulls out. So they're flying along the coast and he's trying to figure out where they are. So they see a shipwreck, and then Topher pulls out his binoculars.
Speaker 2:From they are. So they see a shipwreck, and then Topher pulls out his binoculars From the same place that she got her sunglasses.
Speaker 1:It's Felix the cat's magic bag. Everything is in there, Whatever you need we got.
Speaker 2:What do you need? What do you need? Reach in the bag 30 minutes to Anchorage.
Speaker 1:The point at which they say it's 30 minutes to Anchorage, I'm like good God.
Speaker 2:What are we going to do for 30 minutes to Anchorage? I'm like good God. What are we going to do for 30 minutes? We've got 30 minutes left. Holy buckets, daryl is free.
Speaker 1:Oh, so this is what the knife was for. Daryl gets free, he runs up there and he stabs Topher in the chest twice. Yeah, whoa, and that's bad, right, I've never been stabbed, but like one is in his gut and then one is for sure in his lung. Um, I don't know. We'd have to ask shannon, like what, how long you could survive she's been stabbed, no, but she worked her boss used to work the. He was like the gunshot guy you know he'd oh wow, do all the really think?
Speaker 1:so she went for a heart, but I think she also. I think Greg was the gunshot guy. He did all the big ones. When you came in with 100 bullets in you, he'd take them all out 50 Cent. He worked on 50 Cent.
Speaker 2:Did he do 50 Cent?
Speaker 1:Yeah, but yeah no, I mean, it feels bad yeah.
Speaker 2:That's all I'm going to say.
Speaker 1:So, and then Topher, I think he pulls the knife out and maybe stabs him, and then she-.
Speaker 2:It doesn't stab him, he cuts. So Mark Wahlberg is choking her with a seatbelt. Oh, okay. And so Topher pulls out the knife out of his chest and then slices the seatbelt with one swoop, like it's some sort of sword.
Speaker 1:You don't want to pull the knife out first of all.
Speaker 2:No, because then blood's going to just flow on out of you, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 1:There was a police show. Might have been Homicide. There was one where what's his name? Not the guy who plays the Hulk. Who plays the Hulk? Lou Ferrigno. No, the new guy.
Speaker 2:New Mark Ruffalo.
Speaker 1:Might have been Mark Ruffalo. It was somebody, okay. And what happened to them is they were in the subway station and then they fell down on the tracks and then the subway rolled their whole bottom of their body between the platform and the thing. So're oh my god your head and you got all this, but you're all. Your intestines and legs have been, have been wound up into a ball, and so oh yes this is a horrifying episode are you talking about?
Speaker 1:oh my, god he's alive, but in like super amounts of shock and if they pull him out, he dies instantly. Well, sure they have to like kind of, yeah, you're gonna be fine. Oh, my god and I think that might be the whole episode is sort of being down there with him as as he dies that's first of all.
Speaker 2:I will never watch whatever that was, because that sounds horrible.
Speaker 1:That sounds way too intense, but you know he pulls the knife out similar to this yeah, yeah, he's fine, don't worry about him I believe she shoots him with her gun twice and shoots him with a flare gun yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So I don't, I don't know, I'm gonna let me tony, I'm gonna tell you something about guns I don't know anything about guns you don't want to get shot with a gun you don't.
Speaker 2:Well, you know, there was a long time. No one, do this, please. I wanted to get shot with a gun. I wanted to get shot in a place that, like, wouldn't cause permanent damage, and a buddy of mine was a cop. Uh, he became a cop after college and I was like I really want you to shoot me, dude. I want to know. And he's like there is no spot, this is a true story.
Speaker 2:This is a true story. I was, I had weird, I was messed up as a, as a young adult Anyhow. So he like sat me down and he was like listen, there's no spot where I can shoot you, that I can guarantee that nothing will happen to you. And I was like okay, but what are the?
Speaker 1:give me like, give me the odds and he's like I'm not doing it pretty, tell where the best place would be yeah, like, let me percentage of survival, and not even just survival, just permanent damage.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean. Like I don't want to be permanently damaged, but I want to have like a cool scar, like in lethal weapon, where it's like oh yeah, I got a buckshot right in my abdomen and I'm fine, that's. That was always. What I wanted was a cool story to tell. I'm over it now, right to be clear, like I'm over that phase of my life, I don't want to do it anymore. I'm scared of needles, so I can't imagine what a bullet would feel like.
Speaker 1:But you've you've told a lot of stories of this show. That's a doozy. That's right up there you watch a movie like Lethal Weapon. It's like I won't be like that man.
Speaker 2:Because it's cool man, it's cool Battle scars, right that's a cool story, but it's not a battle scar.
Speaker 1:You didn't do anything.
Speaker 2:But when I tell the story, the same way it happens when I tell the story about my torn knee, when I tore cartilage in my knee, I tell everyone it was a surfing accident. I wasn't surfing, I was watching my brother surf and taking pictures and I got taken by the tide and I tore my ligament in my leg. But that's not what I tell people. I tell people I was surfing and it was a surfing accident. So it would be the same idea.
Speaker 1:He was taken by the tide. Oh, he was taken by the tide. Oh yeah, tony, so scary.
Speaker 2:You're insane. Sorry, I didn't know what we were talking about.
Speaker 1:You know, there's an artist, chris Burden, who has a piece of performance art had himself shot.
Speaker 2:See, and people probably thought it was cool. Chris is very cool, see, I just wanted to be cool. All right, she just picked up smoking.
Speaker 1:Okay, winston's dying. They first date him a bit. They give him morphine A bit, she gives him one piece of cloth.
Speaker 2:It's like put pressure on it, that's not going to do anything. One slice of gauze. First of all, he got stabbed twice, so one slice of gauze isn't going to cover both of them. And then she's like hey, I'm going to give you morphine Now again. I don't do a lot of shots, shots, shots, shots. But can you everybody, can you do shots through clothes? Sure, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:I just always assume, because they always roll up my sleeve. And then you know why do they roll up your sleeve?
Speaker 2:I assumed, so that I wouldn't get it all over my clothes so they can.
Speaker 1:So they can. They can put alcohol and make sure there's right like you have all sorts of crap so it's crawling on top of you saying you want to. You want to clear all that stuff, kill it all with alcohol and then okay, and then stick it into a nice.
Speaker 2:Theoretically, she could just go right through my clothes and it'll be fine, okay, I never knew that that's a true story. I don't know.
Speaker 1:I mean, I'm sure there's some clothes that are, you know, because you gotta remember, you know your needle right is a. It's a piece of metal that has a little hole through the middle and then then the tip thing's cut off and then there's. It's kind of a weird way. I'm not sure how the end is, but yeah, that's the thing. You don't want to blunt that needle by going through a blue jet or something, yeah sure.
Speaker 2:That's just going to make it Mess up the rest of it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because that's the thing when they go into you, for when they're tapping into you for blood, there's all sorts of different sizes of needles, and the bigger the needle, the more painful it is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I don't like that either. And the really good.
Speaker 1:People just use the little tiny needles to just get it right in there.
Speaker 2:But then doesn't it take longer, like while I'm doing the?
Speaker 1:rolly thing? Yeah, of course, Because it's smaller, I want to be.
Speaker 2:I want to be in and out. Just cut it, just slice it, pour it over a goblet Like they do in the movies, and I'll be out.
Speaker 1:The phlebotomist. That's the person who takes your blood. They're the phlebotomist.
Speaker 2:Oh, that was a real word.
Speaker 1:All right, okay, he's dying. Morphine's him up, she says thank you. And then he's like you know, you should have shot him when I told you to shoot him. She's all like well, and the answer is duh, that's a given. They call Hassan. They're like you can pick up the speed, but they don't have a lot of fuel. But they're like okay, we're going for it.
Speaker 2:And you're all like, okay, that's cool. Uh, he's hasan, doesn't really care about anything that's happening, so he's just like, yeah, you're gonna run out of fuel, but okay, good luck uh, she unlocks tofer.
Speaker 1:You know, now we know they're on the same side. We never really thought they weren't on the same side, but now we thought they're in the same side, sure didn't and then he does a whole. I could have done anything, but instead I turned into a big jerk that did crime stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I hate this speech. I liked it. His whole speech is I went the easy way. Yeah, I don't think working for a crime boss, hiding his money and then embezzling money is the easy way to do anything.
Speaker 1:It's lucrative but, I don't think it's easy. He's thinking that's like the shortcut, it's the quick, risky way really.
Speaker 2:Yeah, sure, I'm okay with that. I don't know, Easy. Just felt like the wrong word. That is the wrong word.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I liked it, I thought this was nice and I thought he acted it well, he's a good actor. He's a good actor and you're like, and I was like, okay, now he has to die.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but he's not going to Dan.
Speaker 1:What do you mean he has to die in this movie. He's not going to die, he has to die right, Doesn't he have to die?
Speaker 2:He should. Yeah, he doesn't die, it's fine, don't worry about it, okay Sad.
Speaker 1:And then he wants her to go see his mom and the score on this movie is terrible.
Speaker 2:Some of the worst I think we've ever heard.
Speaker 1:Okay, some of the worst I think we've ever heard. Okay, that's yeah, because I was like this is, this is an emotional scene that you have to underscore, yeah, to bring it home, and I'm like they're not doing anything and then they just go into some other music and you're like, oh, that's part of the reason why this movie is so bad is they haven't spent any money on a score yeah, it's.
Speaker 2:It's. It's bad. Yeah, real bad, especially after seeing oblivion not too long ago, which is just a 10 out of 10 score. I'm still listening. I listened to it all week going, going to work back.
Speaker 1:It's beautiful so she calls the the big. So the her boss is dead, but the big boss she calls him and is all like. I'm onto you. Bitch Topher told us about this $25,000 a month that you were getting this guy. This guy ruined his entire career and was taking a gigantic risk. For $25,000 a month, Well, sure, but over a year, that's more money.
Speaker 2:Risk for $25,000 a month? Well sure, but you know, over a year that's more money. That's probably almost another salary. What is that? $250,000 plus $300,000? That's what? $300,000? That is not a lot of money. No, it's not a lot of money.
Speaker 1:They're eight miles out. Tune the radio. They're on the radio. Marky Mark's still alive. Why didn't you kill me? This military plane comes up and they're all like, what's with the military plane? This is gonna bring you in. And then marky mark's like, oh, that plane is there to destroy you if you try and crash into a school yeah, which is actually kind of the same thing.
Speaker 2:He doesn't even really give a counterpoint, he just kind of explains what it means. He's you know what I mean like he's not getting under their skin, it's just like, well, yeah, I mean, if you veer, off course they're there to make sure you don't. You know, like one way or the other, they're here to bring you in. That's what they all said, the same thing.
Speaker 1:I I was really confused on why he thought this was the antithesis to what they were saying he thought he was truth bombing them and that they needed to do what he wanted them to do, which was yeah, land the plane normally yep, but everyone just wants to get on the ground, so I don't.
Speaker 2:I'm very confused.
Speaker 1:It's very weird scene um, there's a big crosswind. So hasan's like, yeah, we should probably do a practice run. And then she's like, no man, I'm going for it. Marky Mark has now pulled his hands through the cuffs and he's got these bloody weird hands.
Speaker 2:He does this cool. He breaks his thumb. Does he break his thumb? Yeah, he does that pop and then he's able to slide it because the thumb is just hanging out. He does that like pop and then he's able to slide it because the thumb is just like hey, it was pretty cool.
Speaker 1:It was like one of the only times I was like whoa, that didn't look good.
Speaker 2:And then she shoots him three times and then Hassan on the radio goes were those gunshots? Yeah, he said that, Just totally dead.
Speaker 1:Were those gunshots. Did someone just fire a Just totally deadpan? Were those gunshots? Did someone just fire a gun? Oh my God, Is everything okay, hey?
Speaker 2:what's going on up there? Are you guys in some sort of trouble? Yes, Hasan, we are in trouble.
Speaker 1:Let me play you some cool jazz to get you through the night. Coming on 104. They run out of fuel. He says that's a good thing, and here's the one line in the movie I liked. He's like that means you'll be less flammable, less flammable which is a great line. It's a great line.
Speaker 2:Delivered so poorly again, but a great line, maybe. Maybe you know what I'm just gonna. I'm gonna say maybe that's the only line that made it from the original draft and the writer's not the worst writer in the history of the planet, maybe.
Speaker 1:Good line, I don't know. So she brings it in Wheels fly off. All the fire trucks are chasing them, which you're right.
Speaker 2:The wheels should have already been off, so this should have made more sense. Yeah, Whatever? Yeah. Anyhow yeah, whatever, yeah, anyhow Did you see that plane up in Canada that flipped over. Yeah, I did, Everyone made it right.
Speaker 1:Everyone lived Last.
Speaker 2:I checked.
Speaker 1:Every one of those people is getting $30,000 free and clear and can still sue or pursue whatever they want. Oh, wow.
Speaker 2:Okay, they want, oh wow.
Speaker 1:Okay. So it's like they're like we're going to front load you a bunch of money so that maybe you don't hate us as much.
Speaker 2:Sure, yeah, I mean listen, I'm glad everyone's okay. Get the compensation you need, friends.
Speaker 1:Daryl flies out the open window. Now. What a disappointment. What do you mean as he's getting up the firetruck? It was fucking great.
Speaker 2:Sure, but he needs to be thrown out of the plane.
Speaker 1:Oh, she needs to throw him out.
Speaker 2:Here's the thing she's on this whole, like I'm not going to kill him.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to kill him.
Speaker 2:I'm better than that. She has to kill him. That has to be her arc there'm not gonna kill him. I'm not gonna kill him. I'm better than that. She has to kill him. That has to be her arc there. She has to kill him. Instead, it just like god is like yeah, all right, you know what? He's a bad guy, I'll do it for you, since you're too chicken shit to do it. It's a cool death, but she needs to be the one that like kicks him out of the plane and then he gets run over.
Speaker 1:Hasta la vista, bitch here. Here I'll read the runway fuck, that's what I just said.
Speaker 2:That's pretty good, that's pretty good. And then firetruck, firetruck, firetruck.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's fun, and this is when I stopped the movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, you don't miss a ton. That's not true. You did miss another great moment. So they slide to a stop right. Eventually toffer has been unconscious hey, fans, that's how I imagine this guy sounds. So toffer wakes up and he has a you know funny line. That's like hey, we landed, cool, great little bit. And then the, the paramedics come on the plane and they're like oh, we got to get him off because he's been stabbed twice. So they unhook him. And then one guy just grabs him around the chest and drags him out of the plane, which, like, not careful at all, they don't bring in one of those gurney things and lay him down and slide him out, he just bear, wrestles him out of the plane. Could not have been comfortable.
Speaker 1:They couldn't afford one of those stretchers Very expensive.
Speaker 2:And then they bring him into the ambulance and then leave the ambulance completely unattended. They don't immediately rush him off to the hospital, they just put him in the ambulance, stabbed twice, bleeding out. So what?
Speaker 1:you're saying is they do not affect any life-saving medicine on him Not?
Speaker 2:even one.
Speaker 1:Not even a little bit. You're in the protection of an ambulance, right, this magical ambulance.
Speaker 2:So you are fine, you're fine, so you are totally fine.
Speaker 1:Once they get you to the ambulance, you're good.
Speaker 2:It's a healing. It's kind of like being in the pokey center in your pokeball. They just put you on a little conveyor belt and you're healed. So he's bleeding out in the thing and then Hassan comes out of the car and does like a yay, we did it thing and they have a moment.
Speaker 2:And then a bad guy walks behind Hassan and gives him eyes, and so the lady, the marshal's like oh, I'm clocking that. He goes into the ambulance, which is again completely unattended no one is looking at Topher Grace, who's been stabbed twice and shuts the door and she's like, well, that's weird.
Speaker 1:It's time to shut the door.
Speaker 2:He's a random dude. Close the doors. So she's like, well, that's strange. So she goes over and opens the door and this guy has got Topher Grace in a plastic bag and he's oh, I can't breathe. So then she shoots him three times, kills him.
Speaker 1:How does she have all those?
Speaker 2:bullets. Listen, I don't have any idea.
Speaker 1:Maybe they gave her a new gun.
Speaker 2:So then she takes the thing off Topher and he gets a great line. He says this fucking day, which was very funny.
Speaker 2:And then the movie ends in a reverse, shot out the back of the ambulance of all of these EMT workers slowly coming and being like what just happened in here? They're all just curiously looking Did someone get shot? What happened over there? And then credits Mel Gibson. It was so weird. I don't understand what they were all looking at. As far as they know, one of their EMTs just got murdered, in front of them Probably, and nobody cares. Nobody cares at all how did Mel Great movie?
Speaker 1:Did Mel direct a real movie like the passion of christ?
Speaker 2:or something, movies yeah, he did passion of christ, he did braveheart he did um hacksaw ridge was like the last one he did.
Speaker 1:That was really good hold on the guy who directed this movie directed braveheart yeah, baby, come on.
Speaker 2:You don't know anything about mel's, pat mel's. I can't, I can't, be pro mel in the world. Um, I'm anti mel as a human. Let me just be very clear filmmaker I love it. He's done some good stuff back in the day, so let's go, let's go over his directing thing here. Uh, man without a face, braveheart. Passion of the Christ. Apocalypto, apocalypto I can't even say the name of that. Hacksaw Ridge and Flight Risk Really went down there. Hacksaw Ridge was nine years ago, so it's been a minute. He has lost the ability.
Speaker 2:For sure I haven't been on stage with comedy and I haven't lost my my kind of better now than it's ever been you know, I had a dream, really just a few nights ago, that we were on stage doing improv and I was just, uh, totally frozen. Yeah, I had, I had complete stage fright. I was like I can't think of anything to say. It was weird, I've never had that dream before.
Speaker 1:But I was killing.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, you were crying. Yeah, yeah, don't worry, you were slinging them out, you were setting me up and I was just striking out the whole time. I don't know what was going on.
Speaker 1:I like the good old days. Those were good old days.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they were. Anyhow, this movie was great. Thanks for letting me pick it. It was terrible.
Speaker 1:But you know, when I see an hour and 31, I'm like God bless Tony.
Speaker 2:You love it right? Yeah, I saw that the other day when it came out and I was like a cool 90?. Yeah, we can do this. This will be fun.
Speaker 1:And I didn't even watch the last five minutes, so it didn't matter, You're a good 85 and under baby. Okay, something we like this week. Maybe I talked about Saturday Night Live last time. I don't know if I did or not. I don't think you did. Watching all the Saturday Night Live, 50s stuff, just great. Yeah, there's this one about Sandberg did this one about anxiety, this song about anxiety that I'm just oh, oh, interesting, okay, so good.
Speaker 2:And then like was that on the nsl 50s? What did I just say?
Speaker 1:it was the snl 50 digital short they did for the 50 I'll have to watch the episode everybody on on the show having anxiety. You can just watch all the clips. It's all on.
Speaker 2:YouTube, which is great.
Speaker 1:And then I started to watch all the Sarah Sherman desk bits and she is just phenomenally funny and all these people that I I'm never going to be good game, blah, blah, blah. No, Saturday Night Live is the same. It's like Tim Robinson was. Saturday Night Live is the same. You know, it's like Tim Robinson was on Saturday Night Live. I watched the thing with him and he talked about it. He was on for one year and struggled.
Speaker 1:They did a thing for him that they've never done for anyone, and they were like you can finish out your contract as a writer, so he wrote for another three years. Oh, I guess I didn't even remember him being huge talent he was on, yeah, one year they brought him in and he struggled, he, you know, he, it was rough, very rough for him, um, but then, you know, he got three more years writing, learning, learned, you know, learned to really learn really how to write. And then went and did detroiters and then um which is great I can never remember.
Speaker 1:I think you should leave now which I did not like at first and I have come around on that and it's one of the best sketch things ever created I still feel the same way, which is there's too many poop jokes, but when he's not doing poop jokes, I think it's very good there's just some. You know, I rewatched the. The one, I mean there's two, the two will forte ones.
Speaker 1:The one where he's on the plane yeah, and then the one where he there's a car parked in the in the in the side in the sidewalk and he crawls under it oh yeah it's like yeah, that's good one of the greatest catches gets his ponytail cut. You're just like. These are some insanely broken people making some.
Speaker 2:We watch two of them on regular rotation. When our life is bad, these are two things we turn to. It's the one where he sees the pig his neighbor's pig and he thinks it's like some sort of monster. And he's like like the first thing I thought of when I thought I was gonna die was that, oh, I'm so glad I don't have to go to work tomorrow. What have they done to us? That that's my first like that. That sketch is a 10 out of 10 for us. And then there's one, the one where he's driving and he's like he's driving poorly and the guy behind him's honking, him honking. And he's like don't you know how to drive? And tim rolls down the window. He goes no, I don't. Actually it's one of my favorite moments ever, ever scripted. Just no, I don't know how to drive. It's great.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's, he's wonderful, yeah and we'll see how the the crazy uh movie with uh paul rudd is I've watched the trailer.
Speaker 2:It's. It looks weird.
Speaker 1:I'm ready for it that trailer is like we're not going to tell you if this is a comedy or a horror movie and we're really not going to give you any real. We're going to have clues of what it could be, but we're not telling you with this trailer what this movie's about.
Speaker 2:I'm very ready for it, very excited.
Speaker 1:What do you got for us, Tony?
Speaker 2:We talked about Reacher, so let's talk about Reacher. Season three dropped. The first three episodes have dropped. We watched them all Thursday night immediately and we love it. But what's good talking?
Speaker 1:I don't like watching shows where you can get caught and you have to, you know, constantly fool people. I don't like that. That tension makes me uncomfortable. I've watched.
Speaker 2:I think this is not the season for you. I've watched like that tension. That tension makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 1:I've watched this is not the season for you. I've watched most of it and I don't think he's great at selling that. He's actually working for that guy. You're like he, just he's not very good at being undercover. You're like I would be like I am not trusting you at all. Instantaneously.
Speaker 2:There's something off about you guys. Well, I think I mean not to. I don't want to give anything away, but people do seem to figure it out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then you know he has to get rid of them. It's just it's a little too. It's a little too. I got it. You know, he, he, he needed, he needed to be a little more, a little better at undercover. But you know, when he walks out of the water and is wearing his underwear in front of what's her name, she's just like and I was feeling the same way. Yes, I know you were.
Speaker 2:Tommy, I mean the body dude. It's unbelievable, this guy.
Speaker 1:It is a very fun character and you know, when he's putting the beat down on people it's always very oh, it's great yeah, the fight, the fight scenes are just so good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and the yeah, all right. Yeah, we, we're love, we're having a great time. It's it's sillier than the other two seasons a little, you know, like it's not jokey, but it's just like a little. It's just a little further down the unbelievable scale than the other two seasons, but we're having a blast and we can't add this Pauly guy, this giant Pauly guy that's somehow a foot taller than unbelievable.
Speaker 1:I cannot wait for them to fight that's going to be an epic fight.
Speaker 2:I'm just looking forward to it.
Speaker 1:So I had one movie picked out which we're going to have to do at some point. And I was like, no, I don't want to do that. And One movie picked out which we're going to have to do at some point and I was like, no, I don't want to do that.
