Work Challenges and Team Support
00:02:27
Kendahl
life has been crazy. So, I mean, there's been a lot of stuff going on on my side. um So as you guys know, I'm a special education teacher. um You know, just really quickly. ah So typically when you have a building that's got the number of kiddos that I do, we have four teachers. We're supposed to have four teachers that do what I do.
00:02:43
Kendahl
We started the year off with three, pretty much lost one of them very quickly, ended up with two. And then about two weeks ago, the other teacher quit. So I'm going solo and I've got an amazing team of people that are helping me. And um but, yeah, that's my my life got a little crazy over the last few weeks because of that happening. And so i Julian kind of has been graciously helpful and saying, hey, you know, what it's OK.
00:03:12
Kendahl
It's life is life. um But ah I had some other stuff happen, too. So
Vehicle Saga and New Dodge Ram
00:03:17
Kendahl
crazy thing. You guys, if you've been a listener for a long time, you know, about a year ago, I had some issues with my car and it broke down. I was flipping out. We had to go get a new vehicle and...
00:03:30
Kendahl
Then almost right away, we started having problems with that one too. It was in the dealership for almost the first month that we had it. um Then we got it back. Things were good. Time went by.
00:03:41
Kendahl
And then all of a sudden we started having problems again. And we had to take it to the dealership. They said, oh yeah, it's this, this, this. They fixed it. I got it about two weeks later.
00:03:53
Kendahl
Again, it started having issues again. Then oh about, i don't know, about a week later, I finally got it back again. Three weeks later, had more problems with it.
00:04:03
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh my gosh.
00:04:05
Kendahl
Took it back in They said, oh, yeah, it's, you know, X, Y, Z, whatever. They they fixed it. I got it back. Well, if you guys know, again, you've been on the show for a long time. I like to travel and we travel with a travel trailer.
00:04:17
Kendahl
So it gets hooked up. We tow it. We take it all over the country. We love it. Well, I decided that I wanted to test drive it, in a sense, with the trailer on it.
00:04:27
Kendahl
Because every time we had been putting the trailer on it is when we've been having the problems. So they said, hands down, we're good. I said, okay, well, I decided on a random Monday, going to hook this thing up and drive it around the area for about 30 miles, just up and around different streets and highways and so on and so forth.
00:04:46
Kendahl
Last 10 miles, sure enough, it started leaking again, the transmission in the radiator. And I was like, are you kidding me? So my wife says, can you pick it up and throw it at them when you get to the dealership?
00:04:57
Kendahl
And I said, ah I'll try. so I get there, had a long conversation with the guys, pretty much yell and scream and throw a big old fit. And they said, well, go out in the lot and see if you can find something you want. And we'll see what we can do because we know you're having problems. And I was like...
00:05:13
Kendahl
You have a laundry list of things to meet up with to make this happen. Well, I ended up doing the the terrible husband thing. My wife was out of town. I called her up, told her everything was happening. she's That's when she's like, can you throw it at him? I said, yeah.
00:05:29
Kendahl
So I said, well, I think I found a replacement. And she's like, I'm not really interested in doing that. And it has to meet this criteria. We met all the criteria. I mean, it was, we got, so we ended up getting Dodge Ram 1500.
00:05:42
Kendahl
So it's a truck, truck, truck, a man's truck.
00:05:45
Julian Contreras Jr
Nice. All right. Wow.
00:05:49
Kendahl
No, so it met everything we needed. it it met the payment level. They gave us they gave us some money ah back on the car that we had bought. we were We thought we were going to be like terribly upside down, and they kind of made it right because of all the problems that we've had. and So it was it was good. I mean, overall, I'm happy, but that was that was a crazy
Backyard Sod and Miscellaneous Updates
00:06:10
Kendahl
ordeal for quite a while. and um So it was just you know it sucks because that was our main vehicle.
00:06:17
Kendahl
you know that's so That's the way it is.
00:06:19
Julian Contreras Jr
But on the bright side there, you got the the new truck and it's working out for you, it sounds like.
00:06:23
Kendahl
Yeah, well, i yeah, it is. And it's I'm excited about it because it's, you know, it's a truck. It's not a big SUV that can be like a truck. It's a truck that is a truck. And so kind of helps me in that sense. And we just took it. this Actually, we went yesterday.
00:06:37
Kendahl
We went out to a place called Harrisonburg and it's about an hour and 45 minutes away from here. Back roads, drove it all the way out there. I got 20 miles to the gallon in this thing.
00:06:49
Kendahl
It's just crazy in a truck. So, yeah. So, I'm excited. It'll be good. We have a lot of trips planned this summer. So, yeah we're it's It'll be good.
00:06:59
Kendahl
But um other than that, I mean, honestly, life's good. Weather's great.
Entertainment Industry Critique
00:07:04
Kendahl
Did I tell you I put sod in the backyard?
00:07:07
Julian Contreras Jr
ah You said you were outside doing yard work.
00:07:09
Kendahl
Oh, dude. I got it. I'll have to send you pictures. So, we've always had a mud pit in the backyard.
00:07:12
Julian Contreras Jr
i
00:07:14
Kendahl
And now we put sod in.
00:07:14
Julian Contreras Jr
I love a good snod picture. Is
00:07:16
Kendahl
frightened Calm down. Calm down. Anyway, so um
00:07:22
Julian Contreras Jr
that Kentucky blue?
00:07:24
Kendahl
it's... Jeez, I don't even know. It's called... It is Fiskew? I think it's Fiskew. Anyway, um took me two days, some extra manpower, but it got done.
00:07:39
Kendahl
I was excited for it. i'm I'm happy because it's also... We've got a ton of ah yard space now. So... But anyhow, anyhow, enough about me. How about you?
00:07:51
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, man. I've just been nothing on the level of getting a new truck or sod. I mowed the lawn for the first time yesterday. Just cleaned that up. But everything's like ah the last episode with the Matthias and I. It's all about planning for this vacation. Every minute of work is going into it.
00:08:11
Julian Contreras Jr
Every last minute finding somebody to come over and watch the cats and take care of the house and you know just stay here while we're gone.
00:08:19
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:08:20
Julian Contreras Jr
It all just adds up to the to the culmination of leaving. So a lot of stress, but it's going away. So yeah that's about it.
00:08:28
Kendahl
no
00:08:29
Julian Contreras Jr
Nothing too crazy. Just going to work, watching shows, taking notes. That's about it.
00:08:36
Kendahl
You know, and I think, i mean, i I've also been watching some shows, but... um You know, it's nice to kind of be in this point right now because I think we're in like a movie hole. Like there's not a lot of really good stuff coming out right now. I feel like there's a lot of filler movies. Yeah.
00:08:59
Julian Contreras Jr
As I've come to find out, there are a lot of hidden gems in these filler movies ah that you're saying are filler movies. Like, they're not the absolute blockbusters that are coming out, but they're good.
00:09:10
Kendahl
Well, i'm I'm curious on two of them. And i I've literally almost like, you know, bit the bullet and went to the movies a couple of times. But at the same time, i I don't want to be disappointed and spend 20 bucks on these fillers. Right.
00:09:24
Julian Contreras Jr
Right.
00:09:25
Kendahl
But i'm I'm curious to hear because you did tell me you went and saw a couple of movies. So I'm curious to hear what you what you saw. Yeah.
00:09:30
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, I haven't told you the titles. We'll get there when we get there, but I did to go see two.
00:09:32
Kendahl
Yeah, but that's okay. And then, but i'm i'm I'm also at that point where I feel like there are some some that are coming out soon that are supposed to be pretty good and I'm excited for.
Discussion on 'Invincible' Series
00:09:45
Kendahl
um But then, ah yeah, I mean, I did watch a couple of shows too, but what, you want to, should we just jump into the, you know, the main point of our show, which is, you know, entertainment, movies, TV shows,
00:09:57
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, of course. Let's do that.
00:09:59
Kendahl
Sometimes video games.
00:10:01
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:10:01
Kendahl
Hey, and sometimes, hey we also talk so some ah some radio audio. We've done gone down that route too, music.
00:10:08
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, okay. Yeah. i see where you're going. i was like, wait, what?
00:10:09
Kendahl
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:10
Julian Contreras Jr
so
00:10:11
Kendahl
We've dabbled a little in all the entertainments.
00:10:14
Julian Contreras Jr
That's right. well that's what we're here for.
00:10:15
Kendahl
Ha ha ha.
00:10:16
Julian Contreras Jr
Showing people new windows to look through, I guess.
00:10:16
Kendahl
Ha
00:10:19
Kendahl
ha.
00:10:19
Julian Contreras Jr
But let's jump into one of the shows that for the last three or four episodes, you've been asking me if I've watched it. And I just kind of laugh and say no, but I finally did.
00:10:28
Kendahl
I'm please, please tell me it's Invincible.
00:10:32
Julian Contreras Jr
I did. I got all the way through that.
00:10:33
Kendahl
Oh, good.
00:10:34
Julian Contreras Jr
I watched it. have a strong opinion on it.
00:10:37
Kendahl
Okay. i'm I'm excited to hear this because let's, let's, let's hash back to the beginnings of the conversation because when, when Invincible came out first three episodes, you and I had a very like linear, right on par, same explanation feeling so It sucked, it sucked.
00:10:55
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:10:55
Kendahl
It wasn't that good. It was hard to watch. It was like, a it was like okay, let's let's just pound the pavement, let's finish it out because that's what we do. That's when we start watching a show, we end we you know we go through the end.
00:11:06
Kendahl
But i it was hard. It was hard to get back to it. But I did.
00:11:10
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. Yeah, you did. And then the I dragged my feet.
00:11:12
Kendahl
You delayed. So let's let's hear it. Let's hear your your thoughts.
00:11:20
Julian Contreras Jr
All right. So first three to four episodes, like we just said, I'm not going to say they were awful. They were slow and they felt like they were building episodes for something.
00:11:33
Julian Contreras Jr
And it turns out what they were building for, not actually much. Like, it showed those twins, and then they came back, and then they did one other part, and they took them to the future, you know?
00:11:37
Kendahl
Right.
00:11:44
Julian Contreras Jr
Like, I'm just going to be spoiler-heavy.
00:11:45
Kendahl
So, yeah, I was going to say, i think it's okay to be spoiler-heavy on this one.
00:11:46
Julian Contreras Jr
I don't care.
00:11:48
Kendahl
So that's what I was going to ask you. So being on the spoiler side, so they they they meet up with the Immortal.
00:11:55
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:11:56
Kendahl
And what did you think about that whole scene between Invincible and Immortal in the future?
00:11:56
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:12:00
Julian Contreras Jr
first of all immortals died like four times okay they just keep bringing him back and everyone's gonna be like well his name is immortal true but the way he perishes doesn't seem like that could happen and then it's a whole secret on who the king the king of the worlders or whatever he was
00:12:03
Kendahl
Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:09
Kendahl
Right.
00:12:16
Kendahl
Right.
00:12:21
Kendahl
Mm-hmm. Right.
00:12:22
Julian Contreras Jr
And then they finally showed him and he was begging for absolute death from Invincible.
00:12:27
Kendahl
Right.
00:12:27
Julian Contreras Jr
Because a version of Invincible had left him in charge of everything.
00:12:27
Kendahl
Mm-hmm.
00:12:32
Julian Contreras Jr
And he couldn't handle it anymore. He was doing the wrong things. and But I was like, okay. ah Even that episode, the ending, hit when he just killed him, i was like, all right.
00:12:43
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:12:44
Julian Contreras Jr
Cool. Now what? Now what?
00:12:45
Kendahl
Right? It was like, what was the point of that? Well, I mean, I, so there's a part of me that felt like they brought that in just to build that whole like invincible can't kill someone mentality.
00:12:58
Kendahl
Like he doesn't like killing somebody, but we already kind of know that we already have that built into his character.
00:12:59
Julian Contreras Jr
right
00:13:04
Kendahl
So I felt like it was good. i liked it, but I just didn't feel like it was necessary. Yeah.
00:13:11
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. And then there was a whole Powerplex guy who was super mad because of the Omni-Man Invincible fight where they took down the entire building.
00:13:20
Kendahl
That was my buddy.
00:13:20
Julian Contreras Jr
First of all, they took down...
00:13:22
Kendahl
That was my buddy. Don't be mean. Yeah.
00:13:24
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, know it was Aaron Paul, but... ah It just seemed... dumb. Like, they were focusing on one building when they clearly, in that fight, took down many buildings, plus just squished a ton of people.
00:13:35
Kendahl
yeah
00:13:41
Kendahl
Oh, geez, that whole subway scene. The whole subway scene from the very first season. Just, I mean, they plowed through thousands of people. And, yeah.
00:13:49
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. Yeah. I will say that the very end of Powerplex was like, ah oh my gosh, dude, what are what are you doing?
00:13:51
Kendahl
No, I... Yeah.
00:13:58
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:13:58
Julian Contreras Jr
And he ended up like trying to kill Invincible by using every ounce of power he had, and he made that little, ah I guess it wasn't little, but that huge electrical storm ends up
00:14:05
Kendahl
Bubble thing. Mm-hmm.
00:14:10
Kendahl
Right.
00:14:12
Julian Contreras Jr
frying his own family ah my wife was watching that at the time like she just come in from work or the gym or something she saw she's like what are you watching it's like uh i don't i don't know what's going on like
00:14:12
Kendahl
Frying. Yeah.
00:14:22
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:14:25
Kendahl
Yeah, that I mean, that episode... i Okay, I agree. The whole... i felt like I felt like they spent a lot of time on PowerPlex because it was like, here was one of the big... It was like a big star that they could bring into the episode and I felt like they kind of...
00:14:41
Kendahl
over accentuated that factor because it was Aaron Paul. I don't know.
00:14:45
Julian Contreras Jr
I mean, he he did help with the all the other Invincibles. He did take down one.
00:14:51
Kendahl
Later on.
00:14:51
Julian Contreras Jr
oh
00:14:51
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:14:52
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah. So hopefully he got that out of his system and he's not crazy anymore.
00:14:56
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:14:57
Julian Contreras Jr
But...
00:14:57
Kendahl
But yeah, I mean, I, but I felt like, I felt like the episode was kind of useless, but the ending I think was designed to draw you back into like the, what can happen next.
00:15:11
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, and I'm just going to jump ahead. i mean, if you guys want to watch Invincible, you got to power. You got really, really power through those duds.
00:15:19
Kendahl
this This season was a little rough.
00:15:20
Julian Contreras Jr
Honestly.
00:15:21
Kendahl
Honestly, the last two two, three episodes, like six, seven, eight, I think that was the like absolution of what Invincible is.
00:15:33
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes, that's that's where I'm getting to. When they brought in Conquest as the...
00:15:38
Kendahl
Oh, yeah.
00:15:41
Julian Contreras Jr
biggest villain that Invincible could fight. And this is written by Robert Kirkman, right? Created, written, all that.
00:15:54
Julian Contreras Jr
Do you know who voiced Conquest, right?
00:15:57
Kendahl
ah Yes, it was same guy from yeah from Walking Dead.
00:16:00
Julian Contreras Jr
Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Yes.
00:16:03
Kendahl
Yeah, i played... um Give me a second. Give me a second.
00:16:06
Julian Contreras Jr
Come on, my my guy.
00:16:06
Kendahl
Played Negan. Negan.
00:16:08
Julian Contreras Jr
Thank you. Thank you. I had to pause when he said a few of the lines and I was like, wait a second.
00:16:14
Kendahl
Yep. Yep. Right there with you.
00:16:15
Julian Contreras Jr
I know that.
00:16:16
Kendahl
Yep.
00:16:17
Julian Contreras Jr
So I paused it and I was like, oh my goodness, it is JDM. And I was so stoked.
00:16:21
Kendahl
Yep.
00:16:23
Julian Contreras Jr
I feel like Robert Kirkman, I have these in my notes right here, that he wanted Jeffrey Dean Morgan to do it. And he just said, be Negan.
00:16:29
Kendahl
Yep.
00:16:32
Kendahl
Yep.
00:16:32
Julian Contreras Jr
Bring him back. Say the exact same stuff. Call him Sweetheart.
00:16:36
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:16:36
Julian Contreras Jr
Call Adam Eve Sweetheart.
00:16:37
Kendahl
Yeah. We...
00:16:38
Julian Contreras Jr
Call him Puddin'. Like all these other little Southern dab nicknames.
00:16:40
Kendahl
wait When he was... when he was it was just all those little things that he was saying to just piss off Invincible. To just...
00:16:52
Kendahl
poke at him, right?
00:16:54
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:16:54
Kendahl
That when all of was like, wait, oh my gosh, I know who this is. And I had to double check myself because I was like, this this sounds like Negan. And if you guys, okay, if you guys know anything, ah you've obviously if you've been here a while with us, I loved Walking Dead, but I stopped watching when Negan came in because I just, I couldn't stand what he was doing to the show and I didn't like it.
00:17:17
Kendahl
And it was hard for me.
00:17:17
Julian Contreras Jr
And I absolutely loved it. it was That's how so different we are.
00:17:20
Kendahl
Right. Yeah.
00:17:22
Julian Contreras Jr
In The Walking Dead, I felt like Negan was running his... Let's call it a community. Because there's no other words for him.
00:17:28
Kendahl
Right.
00:17:30
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes, he was ruling with an iron fist and fear. But in that community, it was functioning.
00:17:37
Kendahl
For what it was, yeah, exactly.
00:17:40
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. So, I feel like... If it comes to that, and the whole world is like... zombies and stuff that's dead i don't know like if i run into a person like that or i don't want to say i would become that person but you know in those situations we don't know what we're going to do like right now we're us but extreme situations yeah
00:18:01
Kendahl
Or what you'll stand for, right? Or what you'll like actually, what do you want to say deal with?
00:18:07
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah exactly i mean it's crazy but i personally liked negan the whole aura of negan was insane
00:18:08
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:18:16
Kendahl
Well, and then, and then so in, so so in, was it, okay, so did Conquest come in at the end of six or seven?
00:18:16
Julian Contreras Jr
In a good way.
00:18:24
Julian Contreras Jr
at The end of six and then i feel like seven and eight were all conquest.
00:18:27
Kendahl
Yeah. Yeah. And so, um again, sorry, not going be spoiler free. when When he kills Eve, Adam Eve,
00:18:38
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh my.
00:18:38
Kendahl
that
00:18:39
Julian Contreras Jr
ah
00:18:41
Kendahl
that was what?
00:18:41
Julian Contreras Jr
Go ahead.
00:18:43
Kendahl
what Too much spoiler?
00:18:44
Julian Contreras Jr
No, go no, no, that's fine. I just remember him punching her in the face and the way they artistically made her face go. i was like, oh my gosh, she is done.
00:18:53
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:18:55
Kendahl
Done. Yeah.
00:18:56
Julian Contreras Jr
And then the next move is he punches through her and organs and stuff are falling out the backside.
00:18:58
Kendahl
Right.
00:19:02
Julian Contreras Jr
And I feel like they drew him like letting go of stuff.
00:19:05
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:19:06
Julian Contreras Jr
I was like, oh, okay, this must be what Kendall was about. Because you had told me somebody dies.
00:19:12
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:19:14
Julian Contreras Jr
And i couldn't remember if that was her not, if that's who you were talking about, because we didn't talk about
00:19:18
Kendahl
Yeah, that was who I was talking about. Because we never came back to it. We never came back to it. But yeah, I was like, holy crap. and Because at the end, well, okay. So when I texted that to you, that was at the end of the one episode just prior to what you would find out in episode eight.
00:19:34
Kendahl
And so, yeah, I mean, there was it was it was crazy. Because I was like, holy cow, how can they how can they do this to the one of the like biggest characters of the show?
00:19:42
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:19:43
Kendahl
I mean, for goodness sakes, they gave her own little spinoff for one episode. So how how are they how are they doing this?
00:19:47
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, I remember watching that.
00:19:51
Kendahl
And um anyway, I won't spoil too much more because I think there are some parts to 8 that are really good. But 6, 7, and 8, especially everything with Conquest, that was Invincible.
00:20:07
Kendahl
That's what we watch Invincible for, is those last three episodes.
00:20:09
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. Not all those little ah spin-off mini-episodes within the episode, the time gaps. Which I felt like I don't even remember him and it doesn't add to the story at all.
00:20:19
Kendahl
Mm-hmm.
00:20:20
Julian Contreras Jr
So I'm hoping in the next season when they wrap this up because Cecil, the bad guy, voiced by Mr. Walton Goggins, who I'll get into another show. i love that actor too.
00:20:33
Julian Contreras Jr
And the way he voices this old guy. You cannot trust him. And I don't know why Invincible even did.
00:20:39
Kendahl
Mm-hmm.
00:20:40
Julian Contreras Jr
He's like, burn it. Like with the body.
00:20:44
Kendahl
hu
00:20:44
Julian Contreras Jr
And he's like, okay. And then he walks out. He's like in his little cast. And he's I'm like, why? Why are you letting him? Fly him out to space. Throw him into the sun.
00:20:53
Kendahl
Right.
00:20:53
Julian Contreras Jr
Do not trust this man with anything. And sure enough, the very end of the episode, they have him ah in some sort of prison. And like he's just going to come back.
00:21:03
Kendahl
right
00:21:05
Kendahl
Well, and...
00:21:05
Julian Contreras Jr
And they're going make him stronger.
00:21:08
Kendahl
ki Okay, so the the elephant in the room for this this this season, it it started off... Well, okay, the end of last season started off with Alan the Alien going to see Omni-Man.
00:21:23
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah In jail.
00:21:23
Kendahl
And yeah, yeah.
00:21:24
Julian Contreras Jr
Is that what talking about? Okay.
00:21:26
Kendahl
and And then this whole season, it like barely brought in the idea that that was a part of the storyline, yet that was the draw in for season three. And i felt like they never really brought that storyline to a head.
00:21:42
Kendahl
Like there was that one part of the episode of where they like were basically breaking out of that prison
00:21:48
Julian Contreras Jr
They finally break out and they get the ah the new character Beastmaster? Something like that.
00:21:53
Kendahl
I think that's what it is, yeah. and But it's like... It never goes any further than that.
00:22:00
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:22:01
Kendahl
You know what i mean? and So I feel like... I feel like this season was just an amalgamation of garbage. Except for those last three episodes that really drew everything we wanted into the the season.
00:22:14
Kendahl
And so... i i don't know. It was i was and's good. i I think you and I are on the same page. Fun season to watch. if you power through the first four and a half episodes, season five is fun with all the, the counter invincibles, or i mean, I'm sorry, episode five, um episode five is really good with all the counter invincibles coming in and everything that kind of happens there.
00:22:42
Kendahl
Um, the, the one character, I can't think of his name all of a sudden with, um, Sterling K Brown, um,
00:22:52
Kendahl
what's his name? The Big Brain.
00:22:55
Julian Contreras Jr
oh I don't remember there's so many characters they just keep bringing them in so yeah
00:22:56
Kendahl
You know meant? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what talking about. know I'm talking about. Anyway, so, yeah, I mean, there's just, don't know. So, enough about that show. I feel like we we just really overdid this one, but ah I don't know. i was a little at disappointed with the season.
00:23:12
Kendahl
I was a little disappointed with season.
00:23:12
Julian Contreras Jr
so was I but it ended super strong so I feel like if it ends super strong that's that's the ah what have you done for me lately in my brain
00:23:20
Kendahl
Okay, yeah, I'll stay.
00:23:21
Julian Contreras Jr
So now it's going to be like, oh, the new season's coming up Oh, yeah, remember when he punched Adam in the face and then killed her and then they had this huge fight?
00:23:25
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:23:29
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:23:30
Kendahl
I mean, I'm definitely going to be drawn into season four with that question.
00:23:34
Julian Contreras Jr
Right. I mean, we have to now, but if basic hopefully they don't start it the same way.
00:23:36
Kendahl
Yeah. yeah
00:23:39
Julian Contreras Jr
Hopefully it's... yeah I don't even need eight episodes of this cartoon animated show. ah Give me five strong ones and we're good.
00:23:50
Kendahl
Yeah, give me five.
00:23:50
Julian Contreras Jr
I don't need...
00:23:51
Kendahl
Like, I mean, even the even the the audio for the last three episodes, the music was good.
00:23:58
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:23:59
Kendahl
It was like it drew you in. So yeah, exactly. Give me five solid episodes like that. Just did okay. Did you also see that there was a difference in animation between the last two episodes?
00:24:09
Julian Contreras Jr
ah No, I'm not that good at spotting...
00:24:11
Kendahl
Man, there was a difference in the animation between the last two episodes and the first episodes. Like, I don't know what they did, but the way they drew Invincible, it was different. And i like I went back and forth and you could see it. like i i would I would implore you, go back, look, you'll see it.
00:24:28
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:24:29
Kendahl
It was weird. Anyway, okay.
00:24:29
Julian Contreras Jr
right. Enough about Invincible. We'll but drop that one. What else have you been watching? I got a few. I got like three quick ones.
00:24:37
Kendahl
alright so ah All right. So i'm I'm actually in the very last season of Last of Us.
Review of 'This Is Us' COVID Season
00:24:43
Kendahl
I'm still watching that. um It's good. It was really good. I was really curious how they were going to play out the whole COVID thing because the second to last season played in COVID.
00:24:54
Kendahl
um And I thought they did a really good job of it. you
00:24:56
Julian Contreras Jr
Wait, what? What show?
00:24:58
Kendahl
Last of Us. Not Last of Us. I'm sorry. This is Us. This is Us.
00:25:02
Julian Contreras Jr
i was like, what?
00:25:03
Kendahl
I'm thinking of Last of Us because that's we were going to talk about that too in a minute. But um This Is Us. This Is Us, the TV show. and There's six seasons. I finished season five, which was the COVID season.
00:25:14
Kendahl
um They actually did all the production during in the midst of COVID. um And I think they did a really good job because there's a lot of shows that did... episodes during COVID and it was garbage and you just kind of wiped away the season. We're like, forget that. Nevermind. Move on.
00:25:30
Kendahl
This was not, this was, it was a, it was a whole season that really built everything around the character still. And didn't, you didn't really lose momentum for the show. I didn't feel like, Oh, it was like, oh I'm done.
00:25:42
Kendahl
i don't want to watch this no more. It just,
00:25:43
Julian Contreras Jr
I do have a funny story. I came home from work one day and my wife was home and she was watching TV and came in, took my shoes off and I looked at the TV and it was Mandy Moore and I instantly went, are you watching Kendall's show?
00:25:57
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:25:58
Julian Contreras Jr
she
00:25:58
Kendahl
Mm-hmm.
00:25:58
Julian Contreras Jr
She laughs and she's like, yeah. I'm like, oh, okay. She's like, do you me to start it over? i was like, no, i'll just I'll just watch from wherever you're at right here. it's It's okay.
00:26:09
Kendahl
it
00:26:10
Julian Contreras Jr
I could see how you would like it ah
00:26:13
Kendahl
yeah
00:26:13
Julian Contreras Jr
the siblings i understood now that they're all siblings and the parents there's time jumps in between mandy more and her new husband and what's the dad's name jack yeah and so i was like okay well i don't think i'm getting all these puzzle pieces put together but i think i'm good yeah
00:26:33
Kendahl
yeah it's a good show. so um So anyway, i was watching that.
Recommendation for 'Zero Day' on Netflix
00:26:37
Kendahl
um i started I started watching Zero Day on Netflix.
00:26:41
Julian Contreras Jr
I have not started that one yet. You're going to have to fill me in.
00:26:43
Kendahl
It's pretty good. So the premise of the show is an outside source. We don't know who yet in the show um basically does a cyber attack upon the United States and just...
00:26:57
Kendahl
just that like we're literally just ah destroys all communication, all electronics for just a brief few minutes. But it's enough to where it kills like 3000 people in a single day. It's like 9-11 all over again.
00:27:12
Kendahl
But in this way, it was, you know, trains didn't know how to how to go and train. you know, systems that were in airplanes to stop them from, you know, crossing paths stopped.
00:27:25
Kendahl
Cars didn't know where they were going. Lights didn't work, like just all this stuff. And so thousands of people died all within a single moment. um And so there's there's all this craziness. And now they've brought in Robert De Niro, who is this ex president slash um lawyer.
00:27:47
Kendahl
And now he's trying to figure out who did it. And it's kind of neat. It's it's a thriller. um it's it's I don't want to say it's political because, um I mean, there if you want look into it as being political, you can. But the reality is there isn't a political side that it's either talking about or not talking about.
00:28:06
Kendahl
um It does talk about how politics is is playing a part in it, but it doesn't talk about the political part to it. um So it's still really good. I really recommend it. um It keeps you going. And i'm I'm all the way through the second episode, and I just i i just want to keep watching.
00:28:23
Kendahl
So it's very, very, very good. They're about an hour long. and Like I said, it's on Netflix. The first episode is a little dry, um But if you get towards the end, it really kind of gives you an idea of like, okay, something's about to start moving faster.
00:28:41
Kendahl
And then the second episode just starts right in and it it gets going really quickly. So yeah, highly recommend.
00:28:46
Julian Contreras Jr
cool. I'll give that a shot. I got a few shows that I've wrapped up, so i have room on the docket for new ones.
00:28:48
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:28:54
Kendahl
All right. All right. So you started watching a show that I had told you about. ah This is...
00:29:01
Julian Contreras Jr
Correct.
00:29:02
Kendahl
the The Bondsman.
Appreciation for 'The Bondsman' Series
00:29:04
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, I didn't know if you could say that legally.
00:29:06
Kendahl
Now I can. So because it's aired, so this is this is an episode that I got a preview of prior to it being um put on Amazon. And I got to watch the very first episode of this about, what was it, about four months ago?
00:29:23
Julian Contreras Jr
It was a while ago. I remember you talking about it and then you couldn't say who the actor was on air.
00:29:27
Kendahl
Correct. Yeah.
00:29:28
Julian Contreras Jr
But you did text me who it was.
00:29:28
Kendahl
So... Yeah, so it's it's Kevin Bacon is the main character. um There's a lot of, I think, familiar faces in this in this show. um that that there's' a lot There's a few familiar faces that that pop up.
00:29:40
Julian Contreras Jr
No. The only other one I knew was ah Jennifer Nettles.
00:29:44
Kendahl
The mother.
00:29:45
Julian Contreras Jr
No. The ex-wife wife.
00:29:48
Kendahl
Oh, okay. So the mother is pretty well-known, too. um But anyway, so the point is... This is a show I got to watch.
00:29:59
Kendahl
I couldn't talk a lot about, but I will tell you right now, the presentation of the first episode is very different from the one I got to see.
00:30:10
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, I'm sure it was because you told me it was all weird and stuff. You told me the premise a little bit and then I got to watching it and I saw, okay, first of all, the thumbnail on Prime looks not like Kevin Bacon.
00:30:16
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:30:25
Kendahl
Correct.
00:30:26
Julian Contreras Jr
It looks like a Jack Quaid or somebody like that.
00:30:28
Kendahl
Yeah, I actually didn't even recognize that that was the episode, that was a show, because they didn't give me a name. They just, they they just, it was called something else.
00:30:37
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. And the only reason I clicked on it is because I turned it on and then went to go make my son dinner. And the preview started playing, you know, leave it on the thumbnail. It starts playing the trailer.
00:30:46
Kendahl
Mm-hmm.
00:30:47
Julian Contreras Jr
And then it's, I heard Kevin Bacon's voice and then I heard the bondsman and he was hunting demons. was like, Oh, that's, that's that show.
00:30:56
Kendahl
Mm-hmm.
00:30:57
Julian Contreras Jr
And so I sat down. was oh, I'm going to see if my wife wants to watch this. So we were just sitting there. it was one of our in-between days of soccer and everything busy. Like, hey, do you want to watch a show with me?
00:31:10
Julian Contreras Jr
She's like, don't remember. She said something like if it was white lotus or something. But like, no, it's not that. So I just started. I didn't tell her what it was at all. Okay. Okay.
00:31:21
Kendahl
Right?
00:31:22
Julian Contreras Jr
And you've seen the first episode, and I will tell all you listeners right now that if you jump into this, I am not going to give it away. Because all we're going to talk about is this first episode. The first five minutes, something happens that's intense and insane.
00:31:37
Julian Contreras Jr
And as soon as it happened, like it went black, and then said The Bondsman. My wife turns over, she's like, so the show's over then, right?
00:31:47
Kendahl
and right
00:31:48
Julian Contreras Jr
I was like, ah no, it's not.
00:31:52
Kendahl
i Well, I'll tell you, in the preview that I got to see, i that same... So the very first, like, i don't know, half of the of the first episode is roughly the same as what was in the preview. I thought the same thing. I was like, okay, so they're going bring Kevin Bacon in for this first few minutes, and then, okay, show's done.
00:32:09
Kendahl
All right. ah Just, what else is there?
00:32:10
Julian Contreras Jr
Right.
00:32:12
Kendahl
And... But it's good, though. I mean, I enjoyed the first episode, but um the funny thing is... The show goes down a much more dark theme in the first episode than it did in the preview.
00:32:26
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, yeah.
00:32:29
Kendahl
A very much darker theme.
00:32:30
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, I've... I feel like they got the okay to go darker because after that first 10 minute opener, it was like, oh, you guys have kicked the door wide open.
00:32:34
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:32:39
Julian Contreras Jr
Go ahead and do whatever you want now. Because I knew what it was about going forward, but I didn't tell her and like Amazon didn't tell you.
00:32:48
Kendahl
Right.
00:32:48
Julian Contreras Jr
So as soon as you see that happen, you're like, okay, yeah, the show is over. What's going to happen now? And so when he wakes up in the wall, in the wall
00:32:59
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:33:00
Julian Contreras Jr
And he's being brought back to life and you'll figure out why. She's like, is this like a zombie movie then? I was like, nope, nope. I know it's not zombies.
00:33:09
Kendahl
Yeah. yeah
00:33:11
Julian Contreras Jr
So, but we're, she likes it a lot, which is really cool. Cause she doesn't like a lot of shows that I watch that we watch together.
00:33:19
Kendahl
So so going going forward into the episodes, because I haven't haven't watched the other ones yet, um because i was I was just curious to see, like, what's the what's the the shift between what I saw and what it was, right? And that's kind of what I love to do is I love to watch, okay, what did they show me?
00:33:34
Kendahl
And then what do they actually produce to the public? Because sometimes those are very drastically different things. So um ah what is the one with... um and Dang, what's his name? David.
00:33:48
Kendahl
Big guy that plays Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy.
00:33:56
Julian Contreras Jr
Dave Bautista? Yeah.
00:33:56
Kendahl
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he plays in My Spy. Is that what it is?
00:34:00
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:34:01
Kendahl
Yeah. So the the episode they show or the movie they showed me before when I got to watch that as a preview and what they put into the public, very different because my spy was much more violent than in the preview.
00:34:16
Kendahl
And I was like, if you're telling me this is for like 14 and under family. No, this is not 14 and under. Like you can't do that. Like I get a PG-13. That's fine. But like this is much more than PG-13 that you're showing me.
00:34:31
Kendahl
And they did. They drew it down a lot. They drew down a lot of the violence. And it was pretty good. You know, it's fun. But, and this one, it' was it's interesting because they upped the ante on the darkness for the first episode, which is fine.
00:34:44
Kendahl
But it was like, so then why did you show me the other one? Because that was, I don't to say a different storyline, but it it it kind of drew into this almost supernaturalist like element, not the TVMA like really dark element that would become what the episode was.
00:35:00
Julian Contreras Jr
oh yeah every one of these episodes is rated 18 plus so far yeah it's it's really good i like that the episodes are 32 to 27 minutes you can get through them real quick that doesn't lose your interest it it may have some plot holes but just ride the ride it is so much fun
00:35:00
Kendahl
So yeah, for her reasons.
00:35:10
Kendahl
Yep.
00:35:17
Kendahl
Yep.
00:35:21
Julian Contreras Jr
It's Kevin Bacon. Come on. People my age, Kevin Bacon was our guy.
00:35:23
Kendahl
Right. You can't go wrong with him. Yeah. And I think he plays and I think he plays a pretty good like I like him in this in the show.
00:35:27
Julian Contreras Jr
Tremors.
00:35:30
Kendahl
I like him.
00:35:32
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. So, yeah, go out there, watch The Bondsman, Amazon Prime. It's a fun ride. Short little episodes. Really fun. That's all going to say about that one.
00:35:41
Kendahl
Yeah. Yeah. All right. So what else you got?
00:35:46
Julian Contreras Jr
right. So, just this morning, I saw, or yesterday morning, I was watching a something on Peacock, and I realized that there is a new UK Traders season out.
Excitement for UK 'Traders' Series
00:35:58
Kendahl
Okay.
00:35:59
Julian Contreras Jr
And i was like, I swear I'm caught up on all of these seasons, but yeah it doesn't show me anything, so I'll have to click the first episode and see if I recognize people. Sure enough, I have not seen this season, so I was super excited. I'm like, oh, sweet, a new season for me to watch. The whole thing's out there.
00:36:16
Julian Contreras Jr
And they out do my absolute favorite thing, where they have... nine to five people non-celebrities on there i feel like it makes the game so much more fun because no one knows who you are there's no clicks there's no anything like that it's just people meeting up for the very first time and having to get along and play this game are you being truthful are you being a liar it's i love it absolutely love the traders i know you don't but new season uk season three
00:36:26
Kendahl
Okay.
00:36:50
Kendahl
I've tried it.
00:36:53
Julian Contreras Jr
um what else do i got i finished up white lotus season three hbo max that one wrapped up last week nine out of ten absolutely love that entire season if you're a fan or if you want to just check it out i would definitely recommend starting from the beginning because you do need to know who these people are now
00:36:59
Kendahl
Okay.

00:37:24
Kendahl
coming out. And so i did I did go back and I now have Max again because I i didn't have it for a while. and There was nothing really interesting on Max for me. So i I took it off of my subscriptions for a while. But um now that Last of Us is back on, I was like, yeah, sure. So I saw that. And the very one of the very first things they recommended to me was White Lotus because like, oh, that's right.
00:37:46
Kendahl
Because I started watching the first season back with our you know our girl. And so I i haven't gotten back to finishing that season.
00:37:53
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:37:55
Kendahl
And I, you know, I never watched the second one. So, yeah, I think that's something I might catch up on this month, too.
00:38:00
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes, please do. And now that you have Max, I'm going to... Okay.
00:38:05
Kendahl
Sorry, um my my my screen was all messed up here. So just it's it's all good. Anyway, keep going. Yeah.
00:38:10
Julian Contreras Jr
Since you have HBO Max, you need to also start, because it also wrapped up last a couple of days ago on Thursday, The Pit with Noah Wiley, the hospital one.
00:38:12
Kendahl
yeah
00:38:20
Kendahl
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's ah that's another one that that popped up for me.
00:38:24
Julian Contreras Jr
IGN has given us a 10 out of 10, and highly agree. This show is absolutely amazing. It takes place all in one day of this hospital.
Praise for 'The Pit' Medical Drama
00:38:35
Julian Contreras Jr
All this stuff happens with patients and they they get very visceral in what they're going to show you, like medical-wise.
00:38:42
Kendahl
Okay.
00:38:42
Julian Contreras Jr
I mean, obviously someone's supervision is probably not done for real.
00:38:47
Kendahl
Mm-hmm.
00:38:49
Julian Contreras Jr
But seeing how some of this stuff is done... It's crazy. And the drama is amazing. I also give it a 10 out of 10. You got to see the pit.
00:38:59
Kendahl
Okay.
00:39:00
Julian Contreras Jr
If you like hospital shows.
00:39:00
Kendahl
I'll watch it. i like I like medical dramas. I like medical dramas. I'll definitely watch it.
00:39:05
Julian Contreras Jr
right. And then the last show that I have that I need to jump into now that my docket is open. Black Mirror new season just came out Thursday.
00:39:11
Kendahl
Oh, man. That's right. I totally forgot. I haven't watched any of it.
00:39:15
Julian Contreras Jr
I think it's only like six or seven episodes. I could be wrong on that. But, you know, I'm definitely going to catch up on that and we'll talk.
00:39:19
Kendahl
Oh, man. that's I am going to be watching that this week.
00:39:23
Julian Contreras Jr
I hear there's a two-parter.
00:39:25
Kendahl
Okay.
00:39:27
Julian Contreras Jr
Either it's a two-parter in this season or it's a callback to older episode. I can't remember what they were saying.
00:39:31
Kendahl
Oh, i heard there was it was I heard there was a callback, for sure.
00:39:35
Julian Contreras Jr
All right. Oh, we absolutely huge fans of Black Mirror. You guys that have stuck with us for 59 episodes know that.
00:39:43
Kendahl
Maybe one of these days we'll do a... We tried. Actually, i remember as we were both... We were like, okay, let's do our our favorite Black Mirror episodes or something like that. Oh my gosh. Like, it just... Our brains...
00:39:53
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah you can get too much black mirror it's it'll mess with you anyway i think that's about all tv shows have you been to the theater
00:39:54
Kendahl
It was just too much.
00:39:57
Kendahl
Yes.
00:40:03
Kendahl
Okay.
Fun in 'Minecraft' Movie Discussion
00:40:05
Kendahl
No.
00:40:06
Julian Contreras Jr
not at all okay so i'm gonna i'm gonna go ahead and jump in here the first one we saw was a minecraft movie is this one you wanted to see with your kids
00:40:17
Kendahl
That's right, yeah.
00:40:20
Kendahl
I debated it, but I wanted to hear i wanted to hear results because, see, this is one of those movies that could be either really good or just it's only good because you're five.
00:40:31
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, I get that.
00:40:33
Kendahl
Mm-hmm.
00:40:33
Julian Contreras Jr
So obviously I'm not five. So my son wanted to see this movie. My wife was like, we haven't taken him to a movie in a while. Let's just, let's go. It looks fun. It's Jason Momoa. It's Jack Black.
00:40:46
Julian Contreras Jr
Not too much can go wrong with that, right? Turns out that is correct. Not a lot goes wrong with this movie. I liked it a lot. It was outlandish. It was over the top.
00:40:58
Julian Contreras Jr
But like you said, it was meant for kids and teens. And my favorite part, there's no hidden meaning. There's no lesson to learn. It is pure video game fun.
00:41:10
Julian Contreras Jr
I don't even like playing Minecraft on any console at all. My son does, that's totally fine. I don't get it, but for the movie, I knew enough to understand what was going on.
00:41:22
Kendahl
Okay.
00:41:23
Julian Contreras Jr
The fact that they didn't show us the reason Jason Momoa looks like he does on the poster, wearing all that stuff and the hair. And you're like, where's where's my Dothrakian god?
00:41:31
Kendahl
Okay.
00:41:35
Julian Contreras Jr
Where's my tattooed Aquaman?
00:41:37
Kendahl
yeah
00:41:38
Julian Contreras Jr
I mean, heaven forbid, he doesn't even take his shirt off in this movie.
00:41:43
Kendahl
Okay, I like it little better now. Oh,
00:41:45
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay, geez.
00:41:48
Julian Contreras Jr
But it turns out he is a video gamer from like 1985 or 89 who got really good at this one co-op fighting game and that's what he's based his entire life on that's why he's wearing the stuff from that video game because he runs a video game store so once you see that you're like okay i can see why he's dressed like that now and it was i liked it a lot i will definitely watch it again when it comes out streaming
00:42:03
Kendahl
okay. Okay.
00:42:09
Kendahl
Mm-hmm.
00:42:12
Kendahl
So it's good? Okay.
00:42:19
Julian Contreras Jr
I don't know if I'll purchase said movie, but I had a lot of fun. And ah it's one of the ones that liked when it was a full sold out theater of families.
00:42:31
Julian Contreras Jr
There were kids and the clapping was fun. The laughter, hearing everyone laugh at certain things.
00:42:39
Kendahl
Everybody's screaming chicken jockey.
00:42:41
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, there's that. i i I didn't have any of the craziness that you've seen online.
00:42:46
Kendahl
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:42:47
Julian Contreras Jr
But I was like, how do these kids know what's coming up? Because I felt like when Jack Black got on there and he and does his introduction, he goes, my name is... The whole theater yelled Steve.
00:43:00
Julian Contreras Jr
And I was like, I look back. I'm like, well, what's going on? It was kind of fun. But how did you guys know it was coming? So, anyway, Minecraft, if you have kids, go see it. If you are a huge fan of Minecraft, is it going to stick to the video game? Probably not.
00:43:16
Kendahl
yeah
00:43:16
Julian Contreras Jr
But it's fun. And Jack Black sings.
00:43:21
Kendahl
Okay.
00:43:22
Julian Contreras Jr
I mean, he was Bowser. He gave us Peaches, Peaches, Peaches.
00:43:25
Kendahl
Yep.
00:43:26
Julian Contreras Jr
And now he's given us Lava Chicken.
00:43:30
Kendahl
Okay.
00:43:31
Julian Contreras Jr
I don't know if you've heard the soundtrack, but it's a good song.
00:43:32
Kendahl
I haven't. Not yet.
00:43:35
Julian Contreras Jr
It's funny. All right on the other foot, I went to a movie by myself just Friday morning because this movie barely came out. It's A24's Warfare.
00:43:49
Kendahl
Oh my gosh. we I almost went saw that this weekend.
00:43:52
Julian Contreras Jr
You should have. You made a huge mistake not going.
00:43:53
Kendahl
Dang. I like seriously on Friday, my wife and I, it was like 630. And i was like, well, we've got 45 minutes before the movie starts. Should we go get it? And she's like, I haven't seen anything on this. I didn't heard anything on it. And I was like, yeah, because we were the hard part is 24 is like either really over the top or they're super good, like Civil War.
Review of A24's 'Warfare' Movie
00:44:15
Kendahl
And I was like, oh, maybe it's like a Civil War. So we were again, I was waiting to hear something else. So tell me.
00:44:21
Julian Contreras Jr
Hey, this is why you are a season ticket holder for this show.
00:44:25
Kendahl
i know
00:44:25
Julian Contreras Jr
Because you know I'm going to go see everything A24.
00:44:26
Kendahl
I know.
00:44:28
Kendahl
i know.
00:44:30
Julian Contreras Jr
So, but what can I say? I have written down in my notes, OMG. Because describing this movie was like being there. It was intense. It was so realistic.
00:44:44
Julian Contreras Jr
The sound felt like you were inside. Like, the way they did the fade-ins. And, like, they get hit with a bomb. And they're their hearing goes away, so our hearing goes away.
00:44:55
Julian Contreras Jr
And then it starts coming back with that ringing noise, you know, like when you hear really loud noise.
00:44:58
Kendahl
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:45:01
Julian Contreras Jr
And then just just the way they made the soldiers look when they were injured, that's all I'm going to say.
00:45:08
Julian Contreras Jr
And at one point, the shooting, like they're shooting and there's a huge machine guns going off. It got so loud. I'm like, even I was like, okay, this might be a little too loud, but it's it's great.
00:45:21
Julian Contreras Jr
So good. It's directed by a former soldier. So at the very end of the movie, he's going through and showing these actors like what to do when they come out of the building and how he wants them to use their weapon.
00:45:38
Julian Contreras Jr
It's really cool. And it shows the side by side, obviously, of the soldiers that lived it and the actors.
00:45:46
Kendahl
because this is based on true story.
00:45:48
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. And it says right there beginning, like based on memories of what happened. and All these soldiers got together and told their story of every little piece that they can remember that what happened.
00:45:59
Kendahl
So the one thing I did see, and I mean, okay, so remember, guys, I... There are times that I would love to go see movies individually. Like I'd love to see it on my own, but I don't, I don't have as much of an opportunity to go see it on my own. So I typically take my wife and if my wife says, eh, I want to hold off in here, then that's where we typically wait.
00:46:17
Kendahl
But one of the things that I was reading about it is that this is just a visceral experience, like just overall, very visceral experience.
00:46:21
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. Yeah, you're you're in the room with them doing it. It's like like you're there. um The guy who plays Eddie from Stranger Things, his character, he gets pretty injured and and he's screaming for almost like five, six minutes straight.
00:46:32
Kendahl
Yep.
00:46:42
Julian Contreras Jr
But you're like, okay, like it doesn't need to be so loud with him screaming, but at the At the same time, you're not going to understand what they lived without hearing him scream. You can't just put him in the pat and like the background noise.
00:46:58
Kendahl
Right.
00:46:58
Julian Contreras Jr
You need to be there.
00:46:58
Kendahl
it's There's a truth to it. Yeah.
00:47:00
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:47:00
Kendahl
There's a reality to it. Yeah.
00:47:02
Julian Contreras Jr
it I definitely go see it. i
00:47:05
Kendahl
Okay. Okay.
00:47:07
Julian Contreras Jr
It was so good.
00:47:08
Kendahl
All right. Well, I think that's what I'm going to see a in the next week or so, for sure.
00:47:14
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah I highly recommend Anybody out there, if you're into those type of movies, intense, warlike movies, definitely go check this one out.
00:47:25
Kendahl
Yeah. I can be honest. I'm i'm i'm sad that we didn't because, like I said, we were on the fence and um it was the it was like at that point of do we do it or do we not?
00:47:39
Kendahl
Cause we had, like I said, only like 40 minutes before ah the film started and we weren't too far from the theater either. We could have gone. It's just, I didn't see any reviews other than like, there were a few reviews and they all said really good things, but a 24 typically gets really high reviews and it's
00:47:56
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, because there's super fans like me that will see the good in everything they do.
00:47:58
Kendahl
correct.
00:48:02
Julian Contreras Jr
um Gosh, what was I going to say about that?
00:48:07
Julian Contreras Jr
So was it 45 minutes before the movie started? Or like the showtime was 7.45, so it was 7?
Upcoming Break and Future Podcast Ideas
00:48:14
Kendahl
No, no, no.
00:48:14
Julian Contreras Jr
Or did you time out the previews?
00:48:16
Kendahl
So we were 6.30 and showtime was 7.15.
00:48:20
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay, so yeah you still had like the extra...
00:48:20
Kendahl
So we still had like an hour before actually would have started.
00:48:23
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:48:24
Kendahl
Yeah, no, no, no, no.
00:48:25
Julian Contreras Jr
Gotta love those previews.
00:48:26
Kendahl
So we just, but it was it was at that point where, um i don't know, I was, like I said, I'm a 50-50 person on A24 movies because sometimes they're good and sometimes they're like, that's that's crazy.
00:48:26
Julian Contreras Jr
They give you that time to be late.
00:48:41
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, I will tell you at the very beginning of this movie, it kind of caught me off guard.
00:48:41
Kendahl
That's just crazy.
00:48:45
Julian Contreras Jr
Like they're soldiers, right? They're there. They don't have a lot of entertainment. They're all gathered around this TV and they're watching this jazzercise video.
00:48:54
Kendahl
yeah
00:48:54
Julian Contreras Jr
And it's playing like this really popular song that's out right now. I don't remember what it was right now, but you'll see it. And it just gets so loud in the theater. And it's like a rave moment. They're like jumping up and down, waiting for the beat to drop.
00:49:09
Julian Contreras Jr
it was It was fun. I was like, okay, is this what this movie is going to be like? Because that was loud.
00:49:15
Kendahl
I think i think this was that was really what the one of the things I did read was not along the same lines with it being visceral they said the sound the sound design in this movie was was ah was like another actor and in itself
00:49:29
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, I can't even imagine seeing this in IMAX. You have an IMAX theater, right?
00:49:34
Kendahl
uh sort of it's it's like a it's like a dx screen or something like that yeah
00:49:39
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. So if you see it in that one, take the opportunity because I would like to hear how loud those ones get because mine was just the regular one.
00:49:47
Kendahl
okay yeah yeah
00:49:47
Julian Contreras Jr
It wasn't the XD theater or anything. So I think that's about all I got. I am so glad that you are back. um I am going out for a little bit, but I will be...
00:49:59
Kendahl
I'd say so. We are going to be gone for just a little bit due to the fact that we're both ah kind of taking a break for from life to do our own thing.
00:50:02
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:50:07
Kendahl
So we'll probably be back in a couple more weeks. um So we do apologize ahead of time for that. But um we both have some really good ideas coming up and we've talked about them. And I think um some of the things we've talked about in previous episodes, we're going start covering in this one too. So
00:50:23
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. ah Stay tuned to shut off, turn on on Instagram. I will post photos from where I am going.
00:50:30
Kendahl
Nice.
00:50:30
Julian Contreras Jr
I will try to do some lives if I feel like it.
00:50:33
Kendahl
yeah All right.
00:50:33
Julian Contreras Jr
We'll see how crazy busy it is there, I will definitely post fake pictures. So, All right. Anything else for us, buddy? All right.
00:50:43
Kendahl
Absolutely not. Absolutely not.
00:50:45
Julian Contreras Jr
I know at the risk of starting another riot, and I know you've already said this quote, but until next time, ah chicken jockey.
00:50:54
Kendahl
And remember, turn on something good.
