New Episode Alert!
This week on The Popcorn Podcast, Tommy and Ryan sink their teeth into Danny Boyle’s chilling sequel, 28 Years Later!

28 Years Later
- Set 28 years after the original outbreak, Spike (Alfie Williams) and his father journey from a fortified island into a rampaged mainland to find help for his ailing mother, Isla (Jodie Comer)

Mm-hmm. Good old JJ.
00:06:12
tommy cresta
Ugh. I'm mad at him now, but I explained, dude, Sam just had to sit there and listen to my film. Like I was explained like how they're using only the iPhones for 28 years later.
00:06:22
tommy cresta
And she was so invested, but she, she loved it.
00:06:24
Ryan
Yeah.
00:06:26
tommy cresta
She was so scared.
00:06:26
Ryan
Is it iPhones the entire, like everything or just those sweeping, like the bullet time shots?
00:06:30
tommy cresta
No, the whole films on iPhones, which makes it even more crazy.
00:06:32
Ryan
The whole thing is? Okay.
00:06:35
tommy cresta
I, did you like that?
00:06:35
Ryan
Yeah, it's impressive.
00:06:36
tommy cresta
The, the way it would to do yeah, I thought it was really cool.
00:06:39
Ryan
Yeah, the bullet time stuff. I thought it was cool. Yeah.
00:06:41
tommy cresta
Cause it, I mean, Danny Boyle has always been very express ex but but experimental.
00:06:48
Ryan
Thank you.
00:06:50
tommy cresta
And I thought it was so cool for him. This isn't the first time he's done it, though. He filmed another movie on an iPhone. This was the first movie that you had iPhones also use IMAX format, which I don't know how you do that.
00:07:01
Ryan
Okay.
00:07:02
tommy cresta
But.
00:07:03
Ryan
I mean, I'm sure it's like, I'm sure it's like an iPhone, but you just put it on these crazy lenses lenses and stuff.
00:07:09
tommy cresta
Dude.
00:07:09
Ryan
It's, you know.
00:07:10
tommy cresta
the one thing was like as big as Danny Boyle. He was lay like standing behind.
00:07:14
Ryan
Yeah.
00:07:14
tommy cresta
I was like, where is he? And he like leaned out He's like, good guys. I was like, oh.
00:07:17
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah. No, you're not you're not going to go out in your backyard and film something like this.
00:07:22
tommy cresta
And it's not going to look like this movie.
00:07:22
Ryan
That's not, no, not at all.
00:07:25
tommy cresta
He's also, i went looked at some of the movies. I always, I forgot them already. I had like a list of his
Film Ratings and Reviews
00:07:32
tommy cresta
movies. But before I do that, 28 years later, it's currently sitting at a 7.2 out of town IMDb, 89% critic score of Rotten Tomatoes with a 65% audience score.
00:07:34
Ryan
I mean,
00:07:42
tommy cresta
Which is really low, I think.
00:07:44
Ryan
I think it's a lot of because of the trailer.
00:07:45
tommy cresta
I'm in between, though.
00:07:48
Ryan
Yeah, so am I. I'm not I'm not as high on it as Nate and Puff both loved it. They both said like immediate nine out of 10 loved it. I think I'm at like an eight and a half. You know and i mean? Like it was it was very good and I really liked it.
00:07:59
Ryan
But there was just, you know, there's some stuff to be desired. I think ah I think it would have helped with a little bit more action. I like the family drama kind of story.
00:08:07
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:08:07
Ryan
But like, i I really like the story. I should say that. I thought it was it was very good. And Jodie Camare was fantastic, even though it's crazy. She's not in like any of the trailers, like she's barely in anything. And she's.
00:08:17
tommy cresta
And Aaron Taylor Johnson's in most of the trailers.
00:08:20
Ryan
Yeah, yeah.
00:08:23
tommy cresta
Great dad, terrible husband.
00:08:23
Ryan
And also, it makes no sense. but Yeah. No, awful husband. Yeah.
00:08:28
tommy cresta
Great dad, though. had I mean, talk about someone teaching his kids.
00:08:30
Ryan
Yeah.
00:08:31
tommy cresta
I did love that whole first act with him though when they're on the mainland.
00:08:32
Ryan
Oh, yeah.
00:08:36
Ryan
Yeah.
00:08:37
Ryan
No, it was really cool.
00:08:37
tommy cresta
I love those like bloated zombies.
00:08:39
tommy cresta
i I think it's just their design is like perfect. And doing the bullet shots was such a cool way to show like the arrow hitting and stuff like that.
00:08:43
Ryan
Yeah.
00:08:47
tommy cresta
The infrared scenes were disgusting.
00:08:48
Ryan
Yeah.
00:08:51
Ryan
Yeah, it was really freaky. I didn't love the beginning when ah when they were marching over, when they were like intercutting with actual war footage.
00:08:52
tommy cresta
ah
00:08:58
Ryan
like I got it. I understood it.
00:08:59
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:08:59
Ryan
It was kind of like, you can be a little bit more subtle. I get it. You know what I mean? like You're just showing actual
00:09:04
tommy cresta
i did like this I did like hearing in the actual this the speech, though.
00:09:08
Ryan
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:09
tommy cresta
it It is such a terrifying speech.
00:09:10
Ryan
yeah
00:09:12
Ryan
It is. i wonder I wonder if there was a... yeah Both of us. where Why did we do that? It's my fault. we're start We started this in 9.15 at night.
00:09:20
tommy cresta
Oh, yeah, because they're not going to any different.
00:09:20
Ryan
We're both cooked.
00:09:22
tommy cresta
It's still going to post. Yeah, we're recording this on Tuesday. We normally record Monday around 5. It's 9.30 on a Tuesday because I didn't get home until 9 yesterday.
00:09:32
Ryan
Yeah, I'm done. Yeah. But I wonder if they added that after. and There's no reason for me to believe this other than just the popularity of it after that
Plot Elements and Ending Recap
00:09:40
Ryan
trailer came out. If they were like, let's just let's just put this in the movie.
00:09:40
tommy cresta
Yeah, i have I thought about the same thing.
00:09:44
Ryan
Why don't we just do this? you know I wonder if they did that, which would be hilarious.
00:09:46
tommy cresta
i I love the land bridge also. Because that is a real thing.
00:09:50
Ryan
Yeah, it's real.
00:09:51
tommy cresta
that There's places like that. um
00:09:53
Ryan
Mm-hmm.
00:09:54
tommy cresta
But yeah, I really... The whole idea of them going to the island and having... i for i don't remember and well enough in 28 weeks later. Do they explain that they they save the world 28 weeks?
00:10:10
Ryan
How do you mean save the world?
00:10:11
tommy cresta
Like that it's only it's it's only in certain parts of the world that the infected happened.
00:10:16
Ryan
No. So it's, um, it was, so I watched 28 weeks later the night before I saw it. So it's the movie ends with the outbreak getting out. And there's like that little, there's like the last shot at the very end of just a bunch of infected running towards the Eiffel tower.
00:10:31
Ryan
And then it cuts. Yeah.
00:10:32
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:10:32
Ryan
Um, which actually fun fact about them filming that they literally just, the director went to France and just hired like 10 French actors just for a day and just shot it in like three hours, just dressed them up and did it.
00:10:45
tommy cresta
That's Danny Boyle too, right?
00:10:47
Ryan
No, it wasn't Danny Boyle.
00:10:48
tommy cresta
Oh, Danny Boyle only did this one, the first one?
00:10:50
Ryan
Yeah, I believe so. I'm going to, I can double check, but yeah, I'm sure he had something to do with it, but it was, um, uh, Juan Carlos Fresnario.
00:10:53
tommy cresta
He probably produced the second one.
00:11:02
Ryan
Hope I said that right. But yeah. So I was I was curious of how they were going to do it. But then it's just the opening text. I'm just like, yeah, no, we're good. The rest of the world's fine.
00:11:12
Ryan
It's just Britain now, which hell yeah.
00:11:13
tommy cresta
It's just... God, that, i i never thought Brain could get worse, and it somehow did.
00:11:18
Ryan
Yeah.
00:11:20
tommy cresta
Um, but yeah, I, I really did enjoy myself.
00:11:21
Ryan
Mm hmm.
00:11:25
tommy cresta
i I got exactly what i wanted. i definitely, and I was waiting, I was waiting the entire movie. I'm like, how is Danny Boyle gonna make this weird? And right at the end, he comes swinging from the fences.
00:11:34
Ryan
Yeah.
00:11:40
tommy cresta
Um, but it's based off, like, a super, like, um,
00:11:40
Ryan
Oh yeah.
00:11:45
tommy cresta
Not charismatic. What's it like? Oh, a po this polarizing figure from Britain. That's what those guys are based off of.
00:11:54
Ryan
Okay.
00:11:55
tommy cresta
um But yeah, like it's like a whole thing. And of course, it's the little kid from the beginning.
00:12:00
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:02
tommy cresta
And that hence why he has the upside down cross because it's dead. and
00:12:04
Ryan
Yeah, Jimmy. um
00:12:06
tommy cresta
Great opening too.
00:12:06
Ryan
Which also... Oh, yeah, another great opening. All those little kids getting ripped to shreds.
00:12:11
tommy cresta
ah I love it. Sam, Sam cried during this.
00:12:16
Ryan
During what? I guess the the mom?
00:12:18
tommy cresta
28 years later? with the yeah With the mom. Dude, was not expecting for it to get super like emotional.
00:12:20
Ryan
Okay.
00:12:24
Ryan
I know. Yeah.
00:12:25
tommy cresta

Character Analysis and Speculation
00:12:31
Ryan
No, I thought it was really good.
00:12:31
tommy cresta
And I like... And me and Sam were both like, come on, how did Ralph Fiennes get up there and build these pyramids of skull? And then they later show you exactly how it happened. And I was like, oh, well, makes sense.
00:12:41
Ryan
He just climbs.
00:12:42
tommy cresta
Yeah, he just climbs it. He sets up these... The poles.
00:12:46

ah hu Yeah, no, I like the Ralph Fiennes character a lot, Dr.
00:12:47
tommy cresta
But.
00:12:50
Ryan
Kelson. it was I was expecting him to be more weird, but I think it's it's less so that, like, I think he's just been alone for so long that he's like, yeah, this is normal, you know, and then somebody comes, he's like, hello.
00:12:59
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:13:03
Ryan
It was so funny.
00:13:03
tommy cresta
Dude, when he explains why he's covering himself in the iodine, and then when he goes up the thing he just washes his hands with it, must have been having a blast.
00:13:04
Ryan
but
00:13:08
Ryan
Iodine, I think it was.
00:13:13
Ryan
Yeah.
00:13:17
tommy cresta
And I don't even think he's crazy. He was just doing what he thought was right, and he was just giving these people a proper burial.
00:13:21
Ryan
Yeah.
00:13:23
tommy cresta
It's just when you are are on...
00:13:23
Ryan
Yeah. It's a weird way to do it. I wouldn't say proper Barry.
00:13:25
tommy cresta
It's a weird way to do it.
00:13:26
Ryan
He wasn't Barry and shit. He was burning them. But, you know, it's...
00:13:29
tommy cresta
It was probably easier, though.
00:13:31
Ryan
Oh yeah, no, for sure.
00:13:32
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:13:33
Ryan
But you kind of, you understand he was just doing what he thought, like you said, what he thought was the right thing. He just happens to be a little, a little kooky, but that's understandable if you're alone for, you know, 28 years.
00:13:44
tommy cresta
Yeah. And then what...
00:13:45
Ryan
ah but It's only the infected around him.
00:13:47
tommy cresta
What's the next one called?
00:13:48
Ryan
ah The Bone Temple.
00:13:50
tommy cresta
So it's going to have... is it going to have to do with that mask that that girl was wearing? Is that like a cold or something? i'm so That's the one thing...
00:13:55
Ryan
I don't know. Well, that was the island. Yeah.
00:14:00
Ryan
that was That was them on the island.
00:14:02
tommy cresta
Yeah, I know. I wasn't sure where...
00:14:03
Ryan
That was...
00:14:04
tommy cresta
Why is she wear that mask?
00:14:04
Ryan
That was the mask... Well, I don't know. It could be some... i don't know, just a little cultural thing that they've done.
00:14:08
tommy cresta
Because she was weird. She just didn't do anything. She just stood there and looked creepy as hell.
00:14:12
Ryan
Yeah. But they were also the mask that those kids were using for target practice.
00:14:16
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:14:16
Ryan
Those little cutaways. So...
00:14:17
tommy cresta
So I didn't know if that was like how like they showed the kids what the creature could look like. But...
00:14:22
Ryan
I don't know. It could just be like a little thing. But I did... I thought it was going to be more important because it is a shot in the trailer that you kind of see of like all these people in mask and you hear about, you know, people in the mainland.
00:14:33
Ryan
And then when they're on the island or when they're on the mainland, it's cutting between that. And then you realize that, oh, no, that's just the island that they live on. So, you know, so i don't know what that's going to be, if that's going to be like.
00:14:45
Ryan
Maybe some special, quote-unquote, special unit they have to go in and fight. If other people from the mainland try to attack them, they're like the people who can fight back the hardest. I don't know. Making shit up. But I don't know if that's going to be an actual thing or if it's just a little, you know, something that looks cool.
00:15:04
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:15:04
Ryan
Which I wouldn't blame Danny Boyle for just throwing something to be like, this is a cool thing, right?
00:15:07
tommy cresta
damn him Yeah.
00:15:09
Ryan
You guys want to buy this mask?
00:15:09
tommy cresta
He's like, this looks cool.
00:15:11
Ryan
Yeah, yeah,
00:15:12
tommy cresta
Some marketing. um So what did you say? 8.5. So what? 85. I
00:15:18
Ryan
Yeah, I think 85 works for this.
00:15:20
tommy cresta
gave it an 86. So we're right about the same again.
00:15:23
Ryan
Yeah.
00:15:23
tommy cresta
What did give How to Train Your Dragon?
00:15:26
Ryan
I It's a kids movie. It's the same movie. It's good. It was fun.
00:15:30
tommy cresta
Oh. Oh. Oh, but when i when I say that about Super Mario Bros., I'm the bad guy.
00:15:37
Ryan
You said Super Mario Bros. was bad. You didn't say, oh, it's a kids movie.
00:15:40
tommy cresta
Yeah, i also but I ah said that not knowing anything about Mario, so it didn't like... None of it like...
00:15:45
Ryan
Yeah, you've never played Mario. It doesn't make any sense.
00:15:49
tommy cresta
Dude, i all the only game I played when i was little was Madden and MLB The Show.
00:15:53
Ryan
You never had any, any sort of Nintendo thing ever. No Wii, no DS, no...
00:15:59
tommy cresta
I had a PlayStation 2, then I had an Xbox, and then I had an Xbox One, then a PS5.
00:16:05
Ryan
Wow.
00:16:06
tommy cresta
I was always a console guy. I never had games on my phone, really. I never had laptops.
00:16:09
Ryan
Well, yeah, but I mean, Wii GameCube is a console.
00:16:12
tommy cresta
Yeah, I always thought it was like weird people playing
00:16:17
Ryan
Wii rules. let's Let's make that clear.
00:16:19
tommy cresta
those. Like, I was jealous of the Wii once I actually got to play the Wii.
00:16:20
Ryan
Wii is incredible. yeah
00:16:23
tommy cresta
The Wii was, because i I think I associated people that like Bakugan and Pokemon. and
00:16:31
Ryan
Fuck off. Bakugan ruled, dude.
00:16:34
tommy cresta
Oh, I bought, i had I had them.
00:16:34
Ryan
You'd roll him out? Hell yeah.
00:16:36
tommy cresta
I got them. I had a whole steel like travel case of them.
00:16:37
Ryan
Yeah, Bakugan was awesome.
00:16:41
Ryan
I had a case. I don't know where that thing is.
00:16:43
tommy cresta
Like Beyblade. Like I thought to me those were like nerds.
00:16:46
Ryan
Beyblades were badass. Yeah, they are nerds, but what's wrong with that, Tommy?
00:16:49
tommy cresta
Nothing.
00:16:50
Ryan
hear the biggest yeah You're the biggest fucking dork I know.
00:16:50
tommy cresta
I'm a nerd.
00:16:52
Ryan
Are
00:16:53
tommy cresta
I'm wearing a Phillies hat and a Phillies jersey.
00:16:55
Ryan
yeah
00:16:55
tommy cresta
For the podcast right now. And I have an entire basement of movies.
00:16:58
Ryan
you kidding me? You're in your fucking basement and you're like, I'm on the team, dude. They need me. I need to dress up.
00:17:03
tommy cresta
You're wearing a always have the buttons buttons.
00:17:04
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah, I'm not buttoned up. You have all the buttons up. You have the top button buttoned. It's ridiculous.
00:17:12
tommy cresta
Um, yeah.
00:17:14
Ryan
Houston got a hit. Damn it.
00:17:16
tommy cresta
Yeah. Uh, but yeah, 20. This, I was surprised with how much I ended, because I got a little nervous when I saw how high the ratings were, because i feel like horror movies sometimes, horror movies, this is, this is a zombie movie more than it a horror movie.
00:17:28
Ryan
Mm-hmm.
00:17:33
tommy cresta
But, ah you, i always get a little nervous. I know it's like in the same genre, but.
00:17:36
Ryan
yeah
00:17:38
tommy cresta
I always get little nervous. I'm like, oh, if it's this high, I'm probably not going to like, like, because I feel like there's like that high class horror that everyone talks about. And I was waiting for it to be something like that. And it wasn't. It was really enjoyable.
00:17:49
tommy cresta
eve I mean, because I feel like Sam's Sam likes film more than like the average person. But she's like, I feel like she's a good person, like uses like the average for like people I talk to. And she loved it.
00:17:59
Ryan
Yeah.
00:18:02
tommy cresta
I mean, she was so excited that they're making two more.
00:18:05
Ryan
Good. Yeah.
00:18:06
Ryan
I was surprised that Nate and puff liked it so much. Cause Nate, Nate literally asked me before uh, we saw it. He was like, is this like a chill, like fun zombie movie? I was like, yeah, yeah, for sure. These are nice, slow, easy zombies, you know, just lied to them.
00:18:06
tommy cresta
And
00:18:20
tommy cresta
These things should just butt ass an ass.
00:18:23
Ryan
Yeah.
00:18:23
tommy cresta
Oh
00:18:24
Ryan
Yeah. And puff actually really puff like the movies before. So he was excited to see it.
00:18:29
Ryan
Um, Yeah, that was like, yeah, he said, well, he said he did. And then the next day he was like, oh, yeah, I never saw him before. I watched him at work. I was like, you said you saw him. He's like, I thought I did. I don't know what I watched.
00:18:29
tommy cresta
yeah, because he likes the other ones, right?
00:18:40
Ryan
I was like, what?
00:18:42
tommy cresta
If I watch World War he's like, where's Brad Pitt?
00:18:42
Ryan
God knows what he actually watched, but he thought he watched the movies.
00:18:48
Ryan
Yeah.
00:18:49
tommy cresta
Underrated movie.
00:18:51
Ryan
Books better.
00:18:53
tommy cresta
and Oh, way better.
00:18:54
Ryan
Wait, it's cooler.
00:18:55
tommy cresta
and It also has nothing to do with the movie. It nothing like it.
00:18:59
Ryan
Yeah, no, the movie is just, they just took the title and were like, this is the this is the story now.
00:19:03
tommy cresta
And Brad Pitt's going to do it.
00:19:03
Ryan
Okay. It's Brad Pitt now.
00:19:06
tommy cresta
And then the sequel's going be directed by David Fincher.
00:19:10
Ryan
Are they still trying to and do a sequel?
00:19:11
tommy cresta
No.
00:19:12
Ryan
Yeah, I didn't think so.
00:19:14
tommy cresta
I am excited to see Cillian Murphy come back. Because and it is confirmed he's in the second one.
00:19:17
Ryan
Yeah.
00:19:18
tommy cresta
And then if they make the third one. Because they still haven't gotten it done yet.
00:19:22
Ryan
Yeah, I'm sure they will.
00:19:23
tommy cresta
The second one's already filmed. They filmed them back to back.
00:19:26
Ryan
Mm-hmm. Yeah, they said, Danny Boyle said, I saw in a quick interview, he said that um Killian Murphy is like briefly in the second one, and then the third one is like his movie again.
00:19:37
tommy cresta
Yeah, because he said he's like, <unk> like how can I not bring him back?
00:19:38
Ryan
So...
00:19:40
tommy cresta
I needed somehow to get money. If I say Kelly Murphy's in, I'll get all the money I need.
00:19:42
Ryan
yeah
00:19:46
tommy cresta
But yeah, for anyone who doesn't, like how we we keep talking about the iPhone and stuff like that. If you want to see what we're talking about go look it up on Instagram, YouTube, Google, and you'll it'll show you. It's laid like a rig. I think it's 17 iPhones.
00:20:00
tommy cresta
But it's just a long like thing. The two guys just hold it and walk with it. It is really
Danny Boyle's Influence and Works
00:20:05
tommy cresta
cool.
00:20:05
Ryan
Yeah.
00:20:05
tommy cresta
and
00:20:06
Ryan
I mean, it's the bullet time thing from the Matrix. You just line up a shit ton of cameras and just go shot by shot in a row.
00:20:12
tommy cresta
Yeah. I like the – and I love the sound of this movie. Like the sound design, the score.
00:20:21
Ryan
Yeah.
00:20:22
tommy cresta
But again, any if anyone watches Danny Boyle movies, which I'm going to, this is now why I'm going to have these movies up. Where'd we go? I lost the thing I was looking at
00:20:35
Ryan
That sucks.
00:20:36
tommy cresta
Shit.
00:20:41
tommy cresta
Sorry, everyone. But yeah, he's done Trainspotting. He did Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours, The The isn't very good speech isn't a very good
00:20:50
Ryan
Mm-hmm.
00:20:52
tommy cresta
But if you guys are looking for a bad Leonardo DiCaprio movie that's, I mean, weird, weird, that I actually, I have like a soft spot it because it was one of the first rated R movies that I watched. Dude, it was always on HBO at like 7 in the morning.
00:21:06
Ryan
Yeah.
00:21:06
tommy cresta
I tell you no, it's never a good movie.
00:21:08
tommy cresta
it's on If it's on HBO in the morning, it tends not to be good.
00:21:11
Ryan
That's true.
00:21:12
tommy cresta
um Oh, he directed yesterday.
00:21:15
Ryan
Yeah, you did. You love that movie.
00:21:16
tommy cresta
Which, I do love that movie. I, So I i definitely am on the side of liking Danny Boyle. And a lot of people, I mean, because he is a polarizing director.
00:21:26
Ryan
Yeah.
00:21:28
tommy cresta
People love him, hate him. He also directed the Steve Jobs movie.
00:21:33
Ryan
Yeah. Well, which one?
00:21:34
tommy cresta
ah
00:21:35
Ryan
Fazzbanner or so which one?
00:21:36
tommy cresta
I think it's the Fazzbender one. Yep, Fazzbender one.
00:21:40
Ryan
Gotcha.
00:21:41
tommy cresta
The better one.
00:21:42
Ryan
Yeah, because there was the Ashton Kuchar one.
00:21:43
tommy cresta
Not as good.
00:21:45
Ryan
This is like, weren't they the same year too? It's crazy.
00:21:47
tommy cresta
Yep.
00:21:49
tommy cresta
Weird.
00:21:50
Ryan
Yeah.
00:21:51
tommy cresta
But where you um where do you think they go with this next movie? Do you think Aaron Taylor Johnson in it?
00:21:57
Ryan
Yeah.
00:21:57
tommy cresta
Because the way he talked, it didn't sound like he did interview and he said he pointed to the case like, yeah, he filmed the second one.
00:21:57
Ryan
No, I think.
00:22:03
tommy cresta
So I was like, is he not in this one as much?
00:22:06
Ryan
I mean, maybe not as much, but I figured it would be him, you know, tracking down, trying to find his son. Or maybe he's not in it because the, you know, the the rule in the beginning is if you come back, we'll let you back in. But if you don't come back, we're not sending anybody to go after you.
00:22:21
Ryan
I assume Aaron Taylor Johnson is going to try to break that rule, at least try. But whether he actually does it or is allowed to do it, but you know, we'll see. But.
00:22:33
Ryan
I assume that he's going to be in it trying to, trying to get his son back. But if not, then, you know, it'll be, it'll be interesting to see why. Cause it, it won't be, it'll be them like holding him back or like preventing him from going.
00:22:45
Ryan
I don't think it would just be him like giving up being like, Oh, well spike will figure it out, whatever. So yeah, don't know.
00:22:54
tommy cresta
But yeah, i I'm excited to see where they go with the second one. Because I want to know where the story is going to go. Is it just going to be Spike just kind of going off? Because he just wants to see.
00:23:03
Ryan
Yeah. i mean, yeah. I mean, you get Jack... um What's his name?
00:23:08
Ryan
Jack O'Connell.
00:23:08
tommy cresta
Jack O'Connell.
00:23:09
tommy cresta
First off, perfect casting for to for this character.
00:23:09
Ryan
I'm sure...
00:23:12
Ryan
oh yeah. The the fact he got third credit, though. The credits rolled. I was like, the motherfucker got third credit? He's in two minutes. But, yeah.
00:23:19
tommy cresta
He's Jack O'Connell.
00:23:21
Ryan
Sinners came out, and they were like, we gotta pay this man so much money now. God damn it.
00:23:27
tommy cresta
I think he's going to big role in the second one.
00:23:29
Ryan
Yeah.
00:23:30
tommy cresta
that i mean, yeah, because he's going to, they're going to be traveling together.
00:23:30
Ryan
i think I think it's gonna be... Yeah, I think it's going be Spike kind of like exploring, finding different groups. i think he's going to run with those guys for a little bit and then maybe find somebody else.
00:23:39
tommy cresta
And what do you think at the end, he runs into Killian Murphy?
00:23:42
Ryan
Yeah, maybe or just like on the way because they said Killian's not going to be in it much in the second one.
00:23:48
tommy cresta
Yeah, so that's why I'm maybe thinking like maybe at the end, that's when he runs into him.
00:23:48
Ryan
So we'll see how much.
00:23:52
Ryan
Maybe in the end or maybe.
00:23:52
tommy cresta
And then maybe they're together for like the rest of the next movie.
00:23:54
Ryan
Yeah.
00:23:56
tommy cresta
Because assuming this kid's going the main character of the Still the Hole.
00:24:00
Ryan
Yeah, I assume so. Or he gets fucking torn to shreds in the first like 10 minutes.
00:24:03
tommy cresta
Can you imagine? just
00:24:04
Ryan
That'd be something. Yeah.
00:24:05
tommy cresta
Just gets ripped apart.
00:24:07
Ryan
It'd be great.
00:24:09
tommy cresta
Oh, I love this movie. I love the CGI deer stampede. know
00:24:14
Ryan
It looked, when it was far away, it looked fine. When it was, when they had that like closer shot, it looked awful.
00:24:17
tommy cresta
It was terrible. Because this doesn't have a big budget, though.
00:24:22
Ryan
No. And then the effects are all practical.
00:24:23
tommy cresta
want
00:24:25
Ryan
Like all the zombies and stuff. It's all, you know, looks great because it's real. So the deer did not look good.
00:24:29
tommy cresta
And... Yeah, the deer did not know... How much... What do you think the budget is?
00:24:37
Ryan
I don't know. I might i might say like 50 on a high end, honestly. 75. Wow.
00:24:42
tommy cresta
seventy five
00:24:44
Ryan
Damn. oh
00:24:50
tommy cresta
Yeah, the whole film is shot on an iPhone 15 Pro Max.
00:24:54
Ryan
they
00:24:55
tommy cresta
That is... Danny Boy, you are awesome. Alex Garland also... I love, love you. I'm so happy they're continuing directing. Because what, his next thing's Elden Ring, isn't it?
00:25:09
Ryan
Yeah.
Video Games and Personal Preferences
00:25:10
tommy cresta
That's a wild game to add ah to an adaptation on.
00:25:11
Ryan
How the fuck?
00:25:14
Ryan
Yeah, that's I never played it because I, you know, I prefer not destroying things, but I don't.

00:25:34
Ryan
hmm.
00:25:35
tommy cresta
like there's like There's that feeling like every gamer has done with like sitting back and they're like, that's fine.
00:25:40
Ryan
Yeah, that deep breath.
00:25:42
tommy cresta
It's where I was sitting there holding, like putting down my control. and like, I'm later going to walk up to this TV and just punch a hole through it. like There's not gonna be anything left.
00:25:50
Ryan

00:27:07
tommy cresta
That's you.
00:27:08
Ryan
He was not packing like that. Yeah, no, that's way closer to me than Solomon.
00:27:11
tommy cresta
No. Yo,
00:27:14
Ryan
Yeah. I have no shame in saying I'm not fucking that guy. whoever Who played Solomon?
00:27:20
tommy cresta
shout out to that guy. But I like how they they explain that it's like a steroid.
00:27:24
Ryan
ah
00:27:26
tommy cresta
It makes you stronger.
00:27:26
Ryan
Chai Lewis. chi i don't know if it's Chi or Chai, but I'll say Chi Lewis Perry. Congrats, man. Congratulations. That's incredible.
00:27:35
tommy cresta
Or he's wearing a prosthetic.
00:27:35
Ryan
Maybe. Maybe.
00:27:40
tommy cresta
That butt.
00:27:40
Ryan
Wait, hold on
00:27:41
tommy cresta
Oh.
00:27:44
Ryan
It was a prosthetic. Oh my God.
00:27:46
tommy cresta
It was?
00:27:46
Ryan
It was. I clicked on the first ah like news link is, um, talked about a huge prosthetic. Samson's huge. It's Samson, not Solomon. We keep saying Solomon.
00:27:59
tommy cresta
am I saying Solomon?
00:27:59
Ryan
Samson. I don't know. Samson. Huge prosthetic, ripping out spines and scary injury on the train. Huh?
00:28:08
tommy cresta
Also, I love the ripping the spine out.
00:28:11
Ryan
Oh, yeah, super cool.
00:28:13
tommy cresta
Very satisfying for like for what it is.
00:28:13
Ryan
Yeah. And it makes sense. Yeah. And it's what... Because they said Garland and ah and Danny Boyle said, like, they kind of based this off of nature, where, like, eventually there will be the biggest one and it'll become the alpha.
00:28:28
Ryan
And I think that also makes sense, the ripping the spine out. It's like a showing, you know, show a force to the other ones.
00:28:33
tommy cresta
How strong it is.
00:28:33
Ryan
Like, I'm fucking, I'll do this to anybody right now. Don't fuck with me You know what i mean?
00:28:37
tommy cresta
Do you think they kill each other ever?
00:28:38
Ryan
So... I'm sure they do.
00:28:41
tommy cresta
The zombies? i was well I was thinking about that.
00:28:44
Ryan
Yeah, i mean mate I mean, it's definitely possible that one of them, like if one of them steps down a line and the alpha has to go over there and just rip him.
00:28:52
tommy cresta
Yeah, like the alpha kills it.
00:28:53
Ryan
Yeah, I think that would, I could see that happening for sure.
00:28:56
tommy cresta
So I wonder what...
00:28:57
Ryan
Because there is definitely like, ah very animalistic and very like primal, but there is obviously some form of like, you know, hierarchy.
00:28:57
tommy cresta
i
00:29:05
Ryan
Obviously there's the the alpha.
00:29:06
tommy cresta
Yeah, because they he can like send them to do things.
00:29:08
Ryan
Yeah, and he also got the one pregnant. So definitely like,
00:29:11
tommy cresta
Okay, did he get that one? Did he do that? Or or did some normal guy get very horny?
00:29:19
Ryan
Well, I don't think that guy would have survived. Because it would have it would have acted like... i mean, it probably would have acted like an STD. Got him infected immediately.
00:29:28
tommy cresta
That's what i'm saying. Maybe that's what happened.
00:29:29
Ryan
Because it's any... No, I doubt it. Because, i mean, we talked about the speed of the infection.
00:29:37
tommy cresta
Oh yeah, I guess you win.
00:29:37
Ryan
You know what I'm trying to say?
00:29:39
tommy cresta
It's been a while probably for most of them.
00:29:39
Ryan
You wouldn't have the time. Probably, but I mean, it's like, you're done. you know what I mean? That would be impressive. No, I think... I assume it was... a so I keep trying to say Solomon. Samson.
00:29:51
Ryan
Who the fuck is Solomon?
00:29:51
tommy cresta
Samson. and
00:29:55
Ryan
don't know where I'm getting Solomon from.
00:29:55
tommy cresta
Salmon Grundy.
00:29:56
Ryan
Solomon Grandi. Yeah.
00:29:59
tommy cresta
Dude, i was so I was trying to get a head and like write down the movies that we have coming up for like the movies of the year.
George Lucas and Star Wars Legacy
00:30:05
tommy cresta
You got Superman, F1, Jurassic World, Fantastic Four, Eddington, Magazine Dreams. Well, I watched Magazine Dreams.
00:30:12
Ryan
Yeah.
00:30:13
tommy cresta
um
00:30:14
Ryan
My parents saw Magazine Dreams.
00:30:16
tommy cresta
Wild movie.
00:30:18
Ryan
Yeah.
00:30:19
Ryan
Yeah. My parents also saw Jurassic World last night. It was the mystery movie.
00:30:19
tommy cresta
I'll get into that one more.
00:30:23
tommy cresta
Is that what the movie was? ah I wanted to go see it, but I got home too late.
00:30:24
Ryan
Yeah.
00:30:27
Ryan
Hmm.
00:30:27
tommy cresta
Did I like it?
00:30:28
Ryan
Yeah. ah My mom liked it, but she likes everything. And I didn't talk to my dad about it yet.
00:30:31
tommy cresta
Your mom loves disaster kind of stuff, though. Like dinosaurs, disaster.
00:30:34
Ryan
Oh, loves it. Yeah. It's her favorite thing.
00:30:37
tommy cresta
It's big mom genre, I feel like.
00:30:38
Ryan
She's... Uh-huh. She gets back... Every single movie she gets back, she's like, it was it was entertaining. It was an entertaining time. I'm like, okay, but was it good? She's like, it was entertaining.
00:30:47
tommy cresta
That's my dad. My dad's... Because my dad... some he said so because He said Sinners is a 60. And then came back.
00:30:54
Ryan
Which is crazy.
00:30:54
tommy cresta
And he was like... He's like, Ballerina's like an 80. was like, there's no way you watch Sinners.
00:31:00
Ryan
Yeah.
00:31:01
tommy cresta
You get for that a 60. ah you
00:31:02
Ryan
That's...
00:31:04
tommy cresta
Sinners... Sinners is, I think, my number two movie of the year.
00:31:07
Ryan
Yeah.
00:31:08
tommy cresta
Probably number two.
00:31:08
Ryan
And even, I don't think I think both of us didn't like Sinners as much as like a majority of people did.
00:31:13
tommy cresta
Yeah, like we're...
00:31:13
Ryan
But it was still a great fucking move.
00:31:15
tommy cresta
Yeah, because me and you aren't also... I feel like we're not... We tend to not fully go on the side of film talk people. Like film content people.
00:31:23
Ryan
Yeah.
00:31:24
tommy cresta
We don't tend to like... Love the movies that every one of those and them love. and But we also, i feel like, don't fall like in the old school way. I feel like we find our own little niche rating for movies.
00:31:34
tommy cresta
Because there's not a lot of time we agree with ah ah lot of people
00:31:35
Ryan
Yeah, no, we're different. We're special.
00:31:38
tommy cresta
We're special.
00:31:38
Ryan
We're special little guys.
00:31:43
tommy cresta
I was waiting for a comment.
00:31:43
Ryan
Special.
00:31:45
tommy cresta
Oh, I won the 94.1 concert tickets today.
00:31:51
Ryan
Really? What concert?
00:31:52
tommy cresta
Yeah. ah Bare Naked Ladies.
00:31:54
Ryan
Shit. Nice.
00:31:55
tommy cresta
I called in. Called in three times in the last week.
00:32:00
Ryan
Nice.
00:32:00
tommy cresta
Hugh Douglas remembered me.
00:32:00
Ryan
I haven't listened to WIP.
00:32:01
tommy cresta
it was pretty cool.
00:32:02
Ryan
ready It's pretty cool.
00:32:03
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:32:04
Ryan
What was the?
00:32:04
tommy cresta
He asked if my girlfriend broke up with me. I was like, no, I'm actually in her apartment in Georgia. He's like, Georgia? He's like, it's hot as shit in Georgia. I was like, yes, it is here.
00:32:13
Ryan
It is.
00:32:15
Ryan
What was the, was it like a question yet answer? What was it?
00:32:15
tommy cresta
Was it?
00:32:17
tommy cresta
It was ah Kyle Schwartz hit a bomb, foul. um It was named a weird duo. Like a duo that the doesn't seem to match up. And people would like anything.
00:32:27
Ryan
Like sports or anything?
00:32:29
tommy cresta
And people were like Muggsy Bogues and Manute Bull. And I was like, i was like, nah, I was like, Dennis Rodman and King John. o And they're like, that's a great answer.
00:32:40
tommy cresta
i was like that And then like two hours later, they called me and like, you won?
00:32:41
Ryan
That's a great answer.
00:32:43
tommy cresta
i was like, oh, shit, really?
00:32:44
Ryan
Nice.
00:32:45
tommy cresta
so I got them for my parents. The only reason I did it was because I knew my mom and dad really liked them.
00:32:50
Ryan
Yeah. feel like Barenaked Ladies is not like a... Sam, you want to go see Barenaked Ladies?
00:32:55
tommy cresta
I do love the Barenaked Lace, but I only like, like, I don't like them enough to go see them in concert, don't think, because they they play, like, 30 songs.
00:32:55
Ryan
Who the fuck are they? I like a couple of songs.
00:33:00
Ryan
Yeah, no. I don't care about that.
00:33:02
tommy cresta
i probably like five songs.
00:33:04
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense.
00:33:05
tommy cresta
Those five songs are all in my top, like, 50 songs of all time.
00:33:09
Ryan
Yeah, great band. Great band.
00:33:12
tommy cresta
Oh, ground out.
00:33:12
Ryan
Phenomenal.
00:33:13
tommy cresta
um Do you have anything else you want to add on 28 Years Later? i feel like we talked about, like, it's, because a lot of the stuff, what I'm going to, I'll finish off my, What I have to say about really quick?
00:33:27
tommy cresta
The baby, we're going to learn more about that. So yeah, Aaron Tyler Johnson, that was actually a stupid thing for me to say earlier. Of course, going to see more him because we have to know more about the baby. Like, how does that work?
00:33:36
Ryan
Yeah.
00:33:36
tommy cresta
um It's to be cool seeing where Jimmy and Spike get into and where the story leads into setting up this third film in the trilogy. But I think it was better than I think anyone expected it to be when they announced it.
00:33:51
Ryan
Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:33:52
tommy cresta
And I was very much satisfied leaving the theater. Like I didn't feel like disappointed in any capacity. It was so cool. I think the visuals of this movie are stunning.
00:34:04
tommy cresta
Performance is great. The kid who plays Spike. We just talked about how great he was. And yeah, I think, i think the movie was really good. So 86, I think it's a good score. I'll put it right.
00:34:15
tommy cresta
It's in that top echelon of movies so far. And I think it'll probably, it's one of those movies that I know by the end, I'm to be like, is this my seventh favorite movie of the year? Or is this just outside my top 10?
00:34:25
Ryan
Yeah.
00:34:27
Ryan
Yeah, I can see that for sure. I thought it was a really, really good movie. I had a lot of fun watching it. I'm trying to think because you said a lot of the things I was going to say.
00:34:36
tommy cresta
Sorry.
00:34:37
Ryan
Again, yeah, Alfie Williams. I looked up. He has like two credits on I think it was his Dark Materials and something else. But that's it. Like two credits.
00:34:46
tommy cresta
His dark materials.
00:34:46
Ryan
And I'm sure it was just like a little thing. I think it's a Netflix show, isn't it?
00:34:51
tommy cresta
Hmm.
00:34:52
Ryan
I don't know. I don't remember. I think people say it's good, though.
00:34:56
tommy cresta
Hmm.
00:34:56
Ryan
I've heard of it.
00:34:57
tommy cresta
Well, he's great.
00:34:57
Ryan
i I know I've heard of it. Yeah.
00:35:00
Ryan
His dark materials.
00:35:00
tommy cresta
Danny Boyle has the...
00:35:02
tommy cresta
just he He has very strong visions on what he wants. Like, he knows, I feel like... Him and Alex Garland, I feel like when they're writing, they can fully see exactly what they want.
00:35:12
Ryan
Yeah, they're freaking weird enough to be like, just hallucinate like, oh, yeah, that looks good.
00:35:12
tommy cresta
Which is very... They're very...
00:35:17
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah, no.
00:35:18
tommy cresta
And like, but they both see it. Like, it's not one of the...
00:35:20
Ryan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:35:22
tommy cresta
They're like, yup, that's it.
00:35:23
Ryan
Yep, that's the one. Yeah, shift the camera over like a foot. Perfect. That looks really good. Just staring at a fucking wall. Yeah, no, they're both absolute freaks, and that's why the movie's so good.
00:35:35
tommy cresta
be a little bit weird to want to make this movie.
00:35:39
Ryan
Yeah. I feel like Ralph Fiennes is a secret, just freak show. Because that dude is, I mean, he's a phenomenal actor. And seems very chill when he does interviews and stuff. He seems like a pretty chill dude.
00:35:52
Ryan
But if you're doing that much weird shit and you're that good at acting, there's got to be a piece of you that's like, um like I'm going to kill a motherfucker tonight.
00:35:58
tommy cresta
Yeah, what what was the movie he did a couple months ago?
00:35:59
Ryan
Like there's...
00:36:01
tommy cresta
he got in great shape?
00:36:03
Ryan
Yeah, yeah.
00:36:04
tommy cresta
He's playing Odysseus.
00:36:04
Ryan
What was that?
00:36:07
tommy cresta
It's pretty much another version of the book.
00:36:07
Ryan
Yeah, forget.
00:36:10
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah, I forget what it is. But you're right.
00:36:13
tommy cresta
Oh my god.
00:36:13
Ryan
But I mean, like, Voldemort. And then he does doesn does fucking Conclave, the Menu. mean, those are the recent ones. But back in the day, Red Dragon. He was the Red Dragon.
00:36:23
tommy cresta
Fuck, he is the right... Oh my god.
00:36:25
Ryan
Yeah. And then get, like, Grand Budapest Hotel, where he's just a little weirdo again.
00:36:26
tommy cresta
I didn't remember that.
00:36:29
Ryan
And then he's in Prince of Egypt?
00:36:30
tommy cresta
Ooh, I was about to say The Menu's is my favorite but role he's in.
00:36:33
Ryan
In Bruges?
00:36:36
tommy cresta
But I think it's Grand Budapest.
00:36:39
Ryan
Grand Budapest is phenomenal.
00:36:40
tommy cresta
First, Grand Budapest, top 30 movies for me. Because don't think it's top 25.
00:36:46
Ryan
It's a good movie.
00:36:48
tommy cresta
I'm going to say it's like that in that five other movie range.
00:36:51
Ryan
Yeah. Oh, Bone Temple comes out in January. I thought it was next summer.
00:36:55
tommy cresta
Oh, no, they filmed it back-to-back.
00:36:57
Ryan
Yeah, no, I know they filmed it back to back.
00:36:58
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:36:58
Ryan
I just thought it was, I didn't know it was coming out that soon.
00:37:01
tommy cresta
two big movies Two big franchises did back-to-backs.
00:37:01
Ryan
Hell yeah.
00:37:04
tommy cresta
Wicked and this film did back-to-back. feel like you don't see many movies do that anymore.
00:37:10
Ryan
Yeah, not a ton. It's really just a big one because it's so much fucking money. like It's not yeah i mean like Marvel, maybe Star Wars would do that if they actually...
00:37:16
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:37:19
Ryan
If Star Wars ever planned out some movies, maybe they would do that, but they don't they don't really feel like doing that, I guess, most of the time. So, you know, you get left with some wacky shit, two different directors.
00:37:31
Ryan
God damn it. It's so stupid.
00:37:35
tommy cresta
that That was a shit shit.
00:37:35
Ryan
It's so dumb.
00:37:36
tommy cresta
I would have rather seen... I say this. I say I would rather have seen the Lucas... ah George Lucas franchise. The sequels.
00:37:43
Ryan
I'm sure they would have been shit too.
00:37:45
tommy cresta
Yeah, but... they Well, you can read them. They're just on the internet now.
00:37:48
Ryan
Yeah.
00:37:48
tommy cresta
Like... They still get fucking wonky, wonky, wonky in the end.
00:37:52
Ryan
Yeah.
00:37:56
tommy cresta
But... Yeah, 28 years later.
00:37:56
Ryan
George Lucas is the best.
00:37:58
tommy cresta
Two thumbs up.
00:38:00
Ryan
George Lucas is one of the best creative minds in film.
00:38:03
tommy cresta
yeah not a Not a perfect director.
00:38:06
Ryan
He's a dog shit writer and not a great director.
00:38:10
tommy cresta
Yeah, he's great he's a great creator of something. like he can Again, he can visualize things.
00:38:12
Ryan
Yeah. No, he's he's an ideas man. Indiana Jones. Perfect. like Perfect fucking point on this. He's like, Steven, I got there's this guy. He's really cool. And Spielberg's like, all right, give me the idea.
00:38:26
Ryan
I'm going to make the best fucking movie you've ever seen.
00:38:29
tommy cresta
He's like, you want to produce and make a shit ton of money?
00:38:29
Ryan
He's like, right, cool. Yeah. I will say, though, George Lucas, genius for taking all of the merchandise money. gets like but He gets like 90% of it, some crazy margin.
00:38:43
tommy cresta
Do he gets paid a lot of money for Spaceballs?
00:38:43
Ryan
That's why Disney sells. Does he?
00:38:47
tommy cresta
Yeah, they, they, the, uh, I always to say Mel Gibson.
00:38:48
Ryan
bet he does.
00:38:51
tommy cresta
That's not his name.
00:38:52
Ryan
No.
00:38:53
tommy cresta
me Mel, Mel Brooks.
00:38:54
Ryan
Mel Brooks.
00:38:55
tommy cresta
Mel Brooks went to him and was like, what can I do?
00:38:58
Ryan
Okay.
00:38:58
tommy cresta
He's like, you can't have any merchandise, like actual merchandise. that's why you've seen Spaceballs, right? You know the scene when they like, they show off their like merchandise store.
00:39:07
Ryan
yeah
00:39:07
tommy cresta
That's because he wasn't allowed to have actual merchandise. So that joke was put in because of that in the deal.
00:39:12
Ryan
yeah i bet i bet george lucas loves space balls too he's probably a huge fan yeah he seems like a guy who would just laugh at that is he that's awesome
00:39:13
tommy cresta
And he... Oh, he loves it. Oh, he... Supposedly, he's having something to do with the new one. Yeah. Dude, you know he's gonna get some... I bet you, within the next five years, he gets... He works on a Star Wars project.
00:39:31
tommy cresta
I think he's gonna...
00:39:32
Ryan
I mean, he probably will soon.
00:39:32
tommy cresta
He's gonna... He sold it for all that money, and they're just gonna give it... right He's gonna get it back somehow.
00:39:38
Ryan
i don't know.
00:39:38
tommy cresta
he should I think he he should get...
00:39:38
Ryan
I don't know going to get the whole thing back, but yeah, and know what you're saying though.
00:39:40
tommy cresta
Not all of it. Like, he's not gonna be... No.
00:39:43
Ryan
He's going to get some creative control again. But even, I mean, Filoni was kind of his like right-hand man with Clone Wars. Because that was like that was just before Disney bought it.
00:39:54
tommy cresta
Wait. Does George Lucas work on Clone Wars?
00:39:58
Ryan
Yeah.
00:39:59
tommy cresta
Oh, shit. In my head, that's like after he did anything.
00:40:00
Ryan
Cartoon Network.
00:40:04
Ryan
No, he he worked on it I mean, it was Filoni's thing, but Lucas still had a say in stuff. Yeah.
00:40:10
tommy cresta
I saw a take today. I truly agree that Dave Filoni is not the person to carry Star Wars forward.
00:40:17
Ryan
No. I think he works for some of the animated stuff.
00:40:17
tommy cresta
i I think he's too...
00:40:20
Ryan
He's too simple. He's too, like, he doesn't take enough chances. It's the same kind of thing you know that you're getting.
00:40:25
tommy cresta
Yeah, he's stuck on that era of Star Wars, too. I want to see more.
00:40:29
Ryan
Yeah. Well, yeah. I can understand that.
00:40:32
tommy cresta
Well, because Anakin's coming back. And I'm, don't get wrong, I love seeing Hancock. Anakin, I love seeing. I am wondering how, what, what do you think we're going to see? just i guess just there's going to be more flashbacks in Ahsoka, because Ewan McGregor is in Ahsoka.
00:40:45
Ryan
I mean, I guess so. It's going to be... i wonder if it's going to end the same way.
00:40:48
tommy cresta
Story needs to move forward.
00:40:51
Ryan
Yeah, not, you know, side by side. It's, you know it needs to go somewhere.
00:40:54
tommy cresta
staying in this little space.
00:40:56
Ryan
way
00:40:57
tommy cresta
Look at The Last of us Season 2.
00:40:57
Ryan
Not just swap.
00:41:00
tommy cresta
Didn't go I was just about to say I haven't fully come to the side that Season 2 is a bad season of television.
00:41:01
Ryan
It didn't go anywhere. I mean, it barely did move. It's bad. Yeah.
00:41:12
tommy cresta
I have come to the side that it is a very mediocre season of television.
00:41:17
Ryan
Yeah. I think...
00:41:18
tommy cresta
Because I still love Episode 2.
00:41:18
Ryan
I was thinking about it.
00:41:20
tommy cresta
And I love a couple of the episode episodes in the season.
00:41:22
Ryan
Yeah.
00:41:22
tommy cresta
It's just that the season itself doesn't what we just said. It lead goes like this the whole season.
00:41:26
Ryan
It does, like... Just doesn't move enough forward. But I was thinking the other day. I think Last of Us Season 2 and Ahsoka Season 1 are pretty comparable. Because you said, it's like, there's a great episode. Well, I know you love the episode in Ahsoka. I was like, whatever.
00:41:40
Ryan
It's fine. Okay.
00:41:41
tommy cresta
That's an awesome episode.
00:41:43
Ryan
Yeah, sure. doesn't make the season good. You know what I mean?
00:41:46
tommy cresta
No, I have been very vocal of my disappointment in Ahsoka.
00:41:46
Ryan
Because you said...
00:41:50
tommy cresta
We spoke about this Oh.
00:41:50
Ryan
I'm talking about Last of Us now. ah we We brought this up. it was like I was like, Last of Us season two is bad. You were like, how could it be bad if it was a great episode? And then I thought about it more.
00:41:57
tommy cresta
That was a bad take.
00:41:58
Ryan
I was like, Ahsoka, bad season, has a good episode.
00:41:58
tommy cresta
That was a bad take. Thank God that was that was off the podcast we did this discussion too.
00:42:03
Ryan
Yeah. You were like, how could it, it was a great episode.
00:42:04
tommy cresta
Where were we?
00:42:07
Ryan
You're probably sitting right where you're sitting right now.
00:42:09
tommy cresta
we are stupidass um We have I'm assuming people are like, oh, did they talk about the movies like when they're doing the fight?
00:42:09
Ryan
And I was like, you're dumbass.
00:42:15
tommy cresta
This is what we talk about all the time.
00:42:17
Ryan
This is it. Yeah, this is this is all we do.
00:42:19
tommy cresta
This is pretty much why there' this. And then just mixing Phillies and sports.
00:42:24
Ryan
Yeah.
00:42:25
tommy cresta
ah It's also us arguing most of the time about that.
00:42:27
Ryan
And
00:42:28
tommy cresta
But, um, yeah, 28 years later, two thumbs up.
00:42:30
Ryan
then somebody pulls out a sword and yeah shit gets hectic.
00:42:33
tommy cresta
Oh, yeah. Where is it?
00:42:35
Ryan
Yeah.
00:42:35
tommy cresta
Damn, did I lose the sword again?
00:42:37
Ryan
Don't tell me you lost the sword again.
00:42:38
tommy cresta
Dude, how do I lose a sword?
00:42:40
Ryan
It's a big sword.
00:42:41
tommy cresta
Yeah, that's what I was going to grab it.
00:42:41
Ryan
How
00:42:44
tommy cresta
Where the fuck is it?
00:42:46
Ryan
do you...
00:42:47
tommy cresta
But, quick thing about Magazine Dreams. So, I was going to watch it, but then, like,
00:42:50
Ryan
Hmm.
00:42:53
tommy cresta
I was sad I had to go home from Georgia, of course. And i was like i don't I was like, I don't want to be sad. And I know if I watch this sad movie, I'm going want to cry. was like, no. I was like, I'll watch Andor. Download three episodes of Andor.
00:43:06
tommy cresta
Got on the plane.
00:43:06
Ryan
Hell yeah.
00:43:06
tommy cresta
None of them downloaded.
00:43:08
Ryan
Oh,
00:43:09
tommy cresta
So then I was like, fuck, I got to watch Magazine Dreams.
00:43:13
Ryan
God damn it.
00:43:14
tommy cresta
Dude, I'm watching. I got so in. I texted you. You never answered me. Asshole.
00:43:20
Ryan
Oh yeah. I read them and I was like, yeah. All right, cool. Just put my phone back down that you sent me one of those texts. That's just like a statement. And I'm like, I don't i don't know how to respond to this. I just didn't.
00:43:31
tommy cresta
I thought you were – that's pretty much what I did.
00:43:31
Ryan
Cause you, you just sent me a review. What do you want me to Just be like, nice.
00:43:34
tommy cresta
I didn't really – that's what I – that's because feel like we both have done that where we just send each other a quick like, this is what I thought about this movie I watched today.
00:43:35
Ryan
Okay.
00:43:41
Ryan
Yeah. Like, yeah.
00:43:44
tommy cresta
And it's always a movie we won't really talk about. But, yeah, Magazine Dreams, Jonathan Majors, not saying he's a good person, not saying what he did was right, anything like that.
00:43:46
Ryan
Mm-hmm.
00:43:53
tommy cresta
His performance is amazing. Like, the role, the character was great. Score, sound design, perfect. Might be my favorite of the year. Cinematography, it's like, it's very baseline.
00:44:10
tommy cresta
But, I'm trying, I said to my dad, it's if you mix Joker and Uncut Gems and i like um like, that kind of film.
00:44:19
Ryan
Okay. Yeah.
00:44:20
tommy cresta
But it's, it gets so over the top. That like, you're kind of like, okay, like, how much more can we really do? Like, People have rock bottom. This dude decided to get a jackhammer and just fucking dig even deeper.
00:44:34
tommy cresta
And it's so it just gets a little over the top. But he's so good. Like the performance is so great that it kept the movie in the 80s for me. When I text sounds like without him, this movie late like a 55 to 60.
00:44:48
Ryan
yeah
00:44:49
tommy cresta
But the performance is so great that it's up there. It's like one of my favorites of the year. And what else? Oh, and I watched Havoc on the way down to Georgia.
00:44:56
Ryan
How was it?
00:44:58
tommy cresta
Fucking mid. I need you to watch the opening 15 minutes.
00:45:04
Ryan
Opening 15. Yeah.
00:45:05
tommy cresta
It has a car chase. I'm not. I was really. I was also in the plane. So it was kind of hard to tell fully.
00:45:11
Ryan
yeah
00:45:12
tommy cresta
I'm 99% sure it's all CGI. And then when they do close ups. They do like a stationary car.
00:45:20
Ryan
Okay.
00:45:21
tommy cresta
But it looks really bad. I will say the end action sequence. Kind of dope. lot of cool ways of killing people. But all in all, it's a very lackluster movie. It's Raid 1, Raid 2, Down in Hell Somewhere is Havoc.
00:45:38
Ryan
Gotcha.
00:45:39
tommy cresta
But, yeah.
00:45:40
Ryan
I can see that.
00:45:41
tommy cresta
So, um, oh, and I watched The Materialist. Sam went to school the one day. i didn't know, I already got done all my work on my computer, so went all that.
00:45:49
Ryan
Wait, so you you were with your girlfriend, and the day she was gone is the day you go and see a rom-com.
00:45:58
tommy cresta
She doesn't like rom-coms.
00:46:00
Ryan
Oh, my God. Oh, fuck.
00:46:04
tommy cresta
Dude, she was... She had never seen the Mission Impossible before. That's so... That was first she watched.
00:46:09
Ryan
That's wild.
00:46:10
tommy cresta
She's now in awe like, Tom Cruise's stunts.
00:46:15
tommy cresta
Dude, i I'll go see Final Reckoning with you.
00:46:16
Ryan
Man. Alright.
00:46:19
tommy cresta
It's so much fun. I don't think it's underwhelming like some people said.
00:46:24
Ryan
I got you.
00:46:25
tommy cresta
But, yeah.
00:46:25
Ryan
Yeah, I'm down to see it.
00:46:26
tommy cresta

00:46:30
Ryan

00:46:43
Ryan
Well, yeah, because it's not real. Well, i tried. I started three last summer and just I forget what else. to start by just started playing other games and kind of, you know, just forgot about it eventually.
00:46:51

00:46:52
Ryan
But I might go back and play it.
00:46:53
tommy cresta

00:46:55
Ryan
ah No, that was. Well, I mean, it was when I got um PlayStation Plus.
00:47:01
Ryan

00:47:01
tommy cresta

00:47:17
tommy cresta
Oh, yeah.
00:47:17

00:47:20
tommy cresta
The wet one.
00:47:22
Ryan
it For no reason at all, the characters would just be soaking wet all of a sudden. It was so funny. It would be in the middle of a cutscene. They just get soaked.
00:47:31
Ryan
So.
00:47:31
tommy cresta
I remember you Snapchatting me the videos of it.
00:47:34
tommy cresta
Like, that's what I thought it was late opening up and you're like zooming in on your la on your screen.
00:47:34
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah.
00:47:38
tommy cresta
You're like, why the fuck? Because someone walked in the frame.
00:47:40
Ryan
Yeah.
00:47:42
tommy cresta
They were just soaked.
00:47:43
Ryan
They're just soaking wet. I think it was Marlene. And she just walked in just dripping. was like, what the fuck happened? We're inside.
00:47:51
tommy cresta
Oh, everyone. Ryan hasn't played the Arkham games. Those are what you have to go play. Dude,
00:47:56
Ryan
I've tried playing them several times.
00:47:58

00:47:58
Ryan
I just, I haven't been able to get into them. I know.
00:48:02
tommy cresta
Well, you can't just jump ahead.
00:48:02
Ryan

00:48:03
tommy cresta
You got to play them 1-1-1.
00:48:04
Ryan
No, I know. I gotta to play them in order.
00:48:05
tommy cresta
You don't got to play Origins.
00:48:05
Ryan
I've tried to play them in him in a order. No, Origins, I know you skipped.
00:48:10
tommy cresta
Origins, I tried to play because it because it's one of the games you can get for free. The combat's so bad in that game.
00:48:16
Ryan
is it
00:48:17
tommy cresta
I played Arkham Asylum like three months ago, like beginning to end.
00:48:20
Ryan
hmm but also hell let loose already talked about it a little bit super fun game one of those games that's like you basically run for five minutes and then you get shot and die
00:48:21
tommy cresta
I think...
00:48:26
tommy cresta
going recommend that.
00:48:37
Ryan
But that's kind of the fun of it. You know what i mean? You're just running, doing nothing, and then you're like, oh, I see some – and you die.
00:48:41
tommy cresta
That doesn't sound... that' a Those are like the games I get mad at
00:48:43
Ryan
That's it.
00:48:45
Ryan
No, but if you actually like take your time and like find a position to kind of sit in for a little bit, it is fun to play. You just see some guy like run across, she're like, oh, he thinks he's safe. You just shoot him in the chest.
00:48:56
Ryan
It's great. It's so much fun.
00:48:57
tommy cresta
Damn.
00:48:59
Ryan
Yeah.
00:48:59
tommy cresta
I'm gonna recommend...

00:49:05
Ryan
Yeah.
00:49:06

00:49:13

Ryan
Three games, Tom. Three games you got to play.
00:49:30
tommy cresta

00:49:30
Ryan
You started one of them. You started one of them and you said, oh, there's puzzles. don't to play this anymore. You got to finish the Jedi games.
00:49:39
tommy cresta
Oh, that's because I can't figure out the stupid ass map.
00:49:42
Ryan
That's what I'm saying. there's It's not hard. You're just dumb. And I'll help you. I'll help you through this.
00:49:48
tommy cresta
It's not dumb. It has the worst map I've ever used in this game.
00:49:51
Ryan
Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, Tommy is stuck on the first level of the game, and he's like, I can't, I don't know where to go.
00:49:57
tommy cresta
No, it's not the first level.
00:50:00
Ryan
right, yeah, you start off on the scrapyard planet. I forget what it's called.
00:50:02
tommy cresta
Yeah,
00:50:03
Ryan
Your buddy dies, and then the sixth sister, the ninth sister, I don't remember.
00:50:08
tommy cresta

00:50:09
Ryan
this No, the second sister is the main one, I believe. And then, ah yeah, the big one.
00:50:12
tommy cresta
The six sister is the one, the big giant one.
00:50:16
Ryan
Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's annoying. Yeah.
00:50:19
tommy cresta
also don't, I'm not going to lie, I don't love the combat in, like, the lightsaber.
00:50:24
Ryan
Really?
00:50:24
tommy cresta
Yeah, I'm not, I don't like the parrying in it.
00:50:25
Ryan
I like it a lot.
00:50:29
Ryan
No?
00:50:30
tommy cresta
No, I don't know why, and it's very, like, most games. it's It doesn't feel as smooth as like, i guess I'm comparing it Ghost of Tsushima, which is just not fair to that game.
00:50:38
Ryan
Yeah, no, that's...
00:50:39
tommy cresta
Which has, like, the best, kind like, sword combat.
00:50:43
Ryan
Yeah.
00:50:44
tommy cresta
I'm so ready for the new one. I will, that, I will have that the day comes out.

00:50:50
Ryan
Mm-hmm.

tommy cresta
Played the fuck out of that game.
00:50:53
tommy cresta
I'm so sad. I was going to re-download it. And I was like, oh wait. I don't have my account anymore.
00:51:00
tommy cresta
Because there's you multiplayer.
00:51:04
Ryan

00:51:05
tommy cresta
Yeah, it's like a survival mode.
00:51:05
Ryan
Oh, yeah. There's the ah the Legends mode, right?
00:51:07
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:51:08
Ryan
Yeah. I played that for a little bit. It is pretty fun. It's just different.
00:51:11
tommy cresta
I feel like that's a game me and you would get very mad very quick at at each other.
00:51:14
Ryan
Yeah. Because you would go in and just start wailing on guys.
00:51:15
tommy cresta
A way out is going to get there.
00:51:18
Ryan
And i'm trying to like I'm trying to sneak on rooftops and take guys out one by one. You're like, come here, fight me! That's not... Stop it!
00:51:25
tommy cresta
That was me in Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
00:51:25
Ryan
Stop!
00:51:27
tommy cresta
I did not once. hide forgot I came out throwing axes.

00:51:44
Ryan
I've heard that you're wrong.
00:51:44
tommy cresta
