'Movie Grid' Game Introduction
00:02:19
Speaker
So we're going to open up today's episode by playing a little game called Movie Grid. If you haven't played this, the website is moviegrid.io. New format every day.
00:02:29
Speaker
um Are you two? You two are familiar with this. I think we've all played it before. Yeah. All right. So the first tile that we need to get. So there are it is a three by three square.
00:02:42
Speaker
There are three actors on the side with three prompts on the top and you have to line up the actor with each each prompt. So the first one is a two word title movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Does the word the... Oh, there is one thing I want to give as like a deeper dive.
00:03:00
Speaker
get more points if you pick a movie that less people who play the movie grid pick. Yes, it shows the percentage. um So we'll see what... ah Yeah, you always want to go like in the lowest percentage.
00:03:11
Speaker
Or try
Playing 'Movie Grid' with Jake Gyllenhaal
00:03:12
Speaker
to, if you can. So, two-word title starring Jake Gyllenhaal. No one look up anything on their computer. Okay. I'm thinking right ah Roadhouse.
00:03:24
Speaker
Is that one or two? um you think do you think the word the counts as a word? The word the does not count. Usually it says ignore the. Donnie Darko.
00:03:35
Speaker
Oh. That's for sure too.
00:03:40
Speaker
do we want to lock in Donnie Darko? We could do Donnie Darko. I do... ah number Although it doesn't say ignore the. It does not say ignore the.
00:03:52
Speaker
We could we could do it take a chance and do the guilty.
00:03:57
Speaker
we want We want to maximize points. <unk>t even know if I've heard of that. yeah I haven't heard of it either. if We're going to try the guilty, and if it doesn't count...
00:04:08
Speaker
You only get nine guesses. All right, I'm putting the guilty. It counted it. 3.4% of people. So that's a i go that's a good one. All right, Jake Gyllenhaal, three or more word title.
00:04:22
Speaker
Prince of Persia. Oh, that's a poll. That's a poll. We're getting better than that. Yeah, we're doing Prince of Persia. Let's see. Is it Prince of Persia? The Sands of Time?
00:04:35
Speaker
Oh, shoot. It's gotta be. Is there another choice? There's not. Yes, then it's that. Alright, good pick. 12.2%. Okay, bad. and Alright, last Jake Gyllenhaal.
00:04:45
Speaker
Title starts with A through H. Ignore the. So it can have the, but the title starts with the letter A through H. If we could use the guilty again. you can't i don't think you can repeat.
00:04:58
Speaker
um I mean, Donnie Darko's out there. Yeah, that was easy. What was that one? Denis Villeneuve Enemy. Oh, yeah, that's a good one. No one talks about that one.
00:05:08
Speaker
Yeah. all right. Enemy. 10.9%. ten point nine percent Okay. row complete. All right. Moving
'Movie Grid' with Tilda Swinton
00:05:16
Speaker
on. Tilda Swinton. Two word title.
00:05:20
Speaker
I got one for three word title. I do two. You got two? Oh, wait. You do for three word? Yeah. Yeah. i um I think I only know one movie that she's I really don't. i'm I don't know a lot of her work, to be honest. Is she a title?
00:05:37
Speaker
You know what? She's in Moonrise Kingdom, isn't she? Is she? Oh. I think she is. i was going to say Doctor Strange.
00:05:48
Speaker
Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Or Avengers Endgame.
00:05:54
Speaker
That could also work. That could also work, yeah. All right, do we want to risk Moonrise Kingdom or do one of the easy ones we're 100% on? Let's risk Moonrise Kingdom because we can do Endgame for endgame or Doctor Strange for titles through H. Yeah, if you do miss one, can't. All right, we're going to do Moonrise Kingdom.
00:06:14
Speaker
Okay. All right. Good shit. 6.5%. Nice. nice All right. I want to say the one for three or more were title and see if we had the same one, Alex. I was going to do We Don't Talk Enough About Kevin.
00:06:27
Speaker
Oh, I was going to do 3000 years of longing. Ooh, I think, I think the Kevin one will get, will be more points. ah So you get more points with more words in the title.
00:06:40
Speaker
No, just, uh, the percentage of, uh, of how many people guess it. Cause she's in, ah the Chronicles of Narnia, the lion, the witch in the wardrobe. And that's a lot of words. It's a lot of words. It's, it's pretty well known.
00:06:54
Speaker
Actually, I don't know what the name of this movie is. I put We Don't Talk About Kevin and Nothing Came Up. It's We Need to Talk About Kevin. We Need to Talk About Kevin. Thank you. We Need to Talk About Kevin. I'm going to that one. Starring Ezra Miller as himself.
00:07:07
Speaker
Oh, wow. I thought that was going to be a low percentage, but it was 20%. Wow. The highest percent so far. All right. Tilda Swinton. Title starts with A through H. Ignore the. We could do Avengers Endgame, Doctor Strange, or Chronicles of Narnia, Line of Witch in the Wardrobe.
00:07:23
Speaker
Is she in a Tarantino film or no? She might be. I think you're thinking of Uma Thurman. Am I? i think I could have sworn she's in like a crazy action movie, like Kill Bill or something.
00:07:37
Speaker
That, I don't know. But I might be imagining it. That is Uma. I'll have to look do filmography. We can do the Chronicles of Narnia. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Yeah. Does it start with the Chronicles of Narnia though?
00:07:49
Speaker
It does. Okay. Okay.
Completing 'Movie Grid' with Johnny Depp
00:07:51
Speaker
11.2%. Let's go. Sweet. but okay sweet All right. Last row. Let's see if we can get 100% on this. Johnny Depp, two-word title.
00:08:01
Speaker
Edward Scissorhands. Good one. I like it. Edward Scissorhands. thirty percent 30%. Johnny Depp, three or more-word title.
00:08:15
Speaker
ah The Rum Diary or Fear and Loathing Las Vegas. Rum Diary would probably less. Let's do Rum Diary and then Fear and Loathing for a through H. Okay.
00:08:25
Speaker
Is it The Rum Diary? Yeah, I think it is The Rum Diary or The Rum Diaries. 3%. Wow. wow Well done. That's the lowest one.
00:08:37
Speaker
And then Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas? Mm-hmm. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. 5%. We got 9 out of 9 correct. Nice.
00:08:48
Speaker
We're so good. Lost in the Frame is in the top 30% of players today. ah Let's go. Good job, guys. Good warm-up. We're so good. I love playing that like right when I log in and I have my cup of coffee. That's usually how I start my day.
00:09:01
Speaker
It's usually good or bad. However I do on that determines the rest of my day. It's risky. Yeah. Cool. Alex, you got some movie news? ah Not movie, but definitely...
Random Movie News
00:09:14
Speaker
visual media related um the teaser trailer for the king of the hill reboot came out and i'm stoked because as a uh as a texan feel like that show is just it's goaded i've never i've never watched it same see you guys are missing out it's like the simpsons but kind of rednecky
00:09:37
Speaker
It's pretty clever, honestly. I've heard good things. Yeah. I really like it. I love Conan O'Brien. I know he he used to be a writer for it. Oh, really? That's pretty cool. I've been watching a lot of South Park.
00:09:49
Speaker
I love South Park. How's that? It's good. like yeah i've i feel like my entire life, it's just been like you I would see episodes here and there, but I've never just sat down to watch it.
00:10:01
Speaker
I'm having a good time with it. and see why it's gone on for so long. um For other movie news, I wish I could show you guys the picture, but there is a picture of the Rizzler on Sesame Street and it says Oscar the Grouch put the w Rizzler in the trash and he's in a trash can.
00:10:19
Speaker
This is real or it's just. I can't believe Oscar would do that to the Rizzler. Here, I'm going to. I don't know how to send this. I couldn't find it, but I did find a ah news article from 28 days ago titled, That's Not Oscar the Grouch.
00:10:39
Speaker
Concord Carthy Found Hiding in Trash Bin. Police. um this Is this Concord, California or Concord, New Hampshire? So like a man was hiding in the trash?
00:10:50
Speaker
Yes. Cool. it It wasn't the Rizzler. It wasn't the Rizzler.
00:10:57
Speaker
We need the Rizzler as a guest. I would love the Rizzler as a guest. Do you want to tell Tachi the Rizzler's top four real quick that we reviewed? Yeah. ah So the Rizzler released his letterbox top four and it was the Goonies, Thunderbolts, um Secret Life of Super Pets, and the Batman.
00:11:19
Speaker
Okay. You know what? Not bad. It's really not bad. and It's not bad at all. He's a good dude. Good dude. Honestly, it's good. It's better than some of like the try hard ones I see. Yeah.
00:11:34
Speaker
It's so unapologetically the Rizzler. don't think most people could be that authentic. Not even if they tried. Yeah, I appreciate his honesty.
00:11:45
Speaker
Yeah. right, well, the meat and potatoes for today's
'Hear Me Out' Segment Introduction
00:11:49
Speaker
episode is our Hear Me Out episode. So we each pick two to three movies that we just want each other to hear each other out on, whether that be a guilty pleasure, if it was critically panned, or just underappreciated.
00:12:02
Speaker
um Yeah, how you guys feeling going into a Hear Me Out session? Do you think there's going to be any anger if the others disagree? hope so. I want animosity.
00:12:14
Speaker
We need we need ah drama to boost the ratings. We need to start fighting through the screen. Yeah. Yeah, so we're going to go roundtable, pitching one movie at a time. We'll talk a little bit about the pick, why we picked it, what's wrong with it, and what we don't think is wrong with it.
00:12:31
Speaker
What have you, memorable scenes, quotes, or themes. We'll go roundtable, and we'll sum it all up at the end, and then kind of go from there. But who wants to kick us off with their first Hear Me Out?
00:12:43
Speaker
I can go. Let's hear it, Tachi. What is your first Hear Me Out, and and why did you pick it? My first Hear Me Out is... probably
00:12:56
Speaker
the best movie that we're going to about today. and i have a question for why you put this one. Okay. Give one second. let Let me introduce it.
00:13:06
Speaker
Okay. It's going to be The Holdovers, which is a new Christmas classic. Came out in 2023, directed by Alex Erna Payne. It's about a curmudgeonly instructor at a New England prep school, and he's forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go.
00:13:25
Speaker
Yeah. Pretty much sums it up. um I picked it because i think despite how critically acclaimed it is, it's still very much underappreciated and I don't think people discuss it enough.
00:13:41
Speaker
And I'm also a huge Christmas movie fan. It's my favorite holiday and I think the more exposure that we can get to Christmas stuff, the better.
00:13:56
Speaker
So that's that's kind of my argument. and I'm going to one-up you and say it is this generation's It's a Wonderful Life. and ah And in 20 years it will be remembered as such. I was going say, I really hope so. it's It is a 10.
00:14:08
Speaker
It's a 10 out of 10. I do think time is going to do very well with this movie. I think the longer time passes, the more people are going to get introduced to it. And so I think I totally see what you're saying. And I think it's just a matter of time for, I think, general audiences to be like, oh, shit.
00:14:27
Speaker
You know, and then it's also hard because it is a Christmas movie, so no one's going to be watching it in July. so it's going to be it's going to be a slow burn. But I have no doubt that it'll get to the point where i think that we all think it needs to be
Discussion on 'The Holdovers'
00:14:41
Speaker
one of the big ones.
00:14:42
Speaker
do you Do you want to even spicier take? Lay it on us. Paul Giamatti should have won Best Actor over Killian Murphy. Honestly, I don't like that. I like it, too.
00:14:53
Speaker
i was going to be very happy if you won. hmm. Like I knew it was going to Killian, but big part of me was just like, I really want to see Giamatti take it.
00:15:05
Speaker
I think he's who I voted for in our Oscar. I think I voted for him as well. I think I, yeah, I i think we all did. Yeah. I think we all voted knowing it wasn't going to be, but just like with the slightest glimmer of hope.
00:15:19
Speaker
Right. Cause that would have been awesome.
Malik Defends 'Prometheus'
00:15:21
Speaker
but I still won that year though. You did. There's a little trophy. Oh, wow. Look that.
00:15:29
Speaker
and think I think have a box of those. Did you guys do one this past year? No. It was just me and Cam at home. and Yeah, because I was in Colorado then.
00:15:40
Speaker
Oh, that's right. That's right. there I think there were a few people out of town. i did really well in my picks. I don't remember how I did. I think I i think i did all right. One thing, i I don't know if you guys saw it in the um and the episode ideal repository, but I think it'd be fun to do like an early Oscar predictions.
00:15:58
Speaker
I need to see more. like really I have i really need to see more too. After the summer will be a good time. Yeah. Yeah, i think I think that'd be a good episode. I like that. Hear me out. Great job, Daji.
00:16:09
Speaker
Thanks, guys. Do you want to go, Malik? You can go. right. um I actually didn't realize that we were married to the ones that were in our repository. I just threw those there when I wrote the idea ahead of time. So I might go for some wild cards.
00:16:23
Speaker
Yeah, you you don't have to be married. If there's any off the top of your head, you can I just pasted it because it was there. Yeah. all right. um I will do one from that, though.
00:16:33
Speaker
ah Gremlins 2 was, you know, a lot of people think it's a bad movie. I really like it. It's so tongue in cheek. um And it's so ridiculous that it is insanely entertaining.
00:16:49
Speaker
And I don't understand why people hate it. um I haven't seen it. It's have you seen the first Gremlins? Long time ago. So, I mean, that's like a solid speaking of Christmas movies and it's it's Gremlins, a solid Christmas movie. Gremlins 2, I don't think takes place during Christmas, um but there's all sorts of like different kinds of Gremlins. And then like the Phoebe Cates bit from the first movie where she was like.
00:17:20
Speaker
my dad fell down the chimney and that's why I hate Santa. They do it again. and it's so just out there. um Like in hindsight is, is hilarious.
00:17:33
Speaker
Like the movie itself is like a joke. A guy falls in love with a gremlin. um I think if I remember that correctly, that's, and is that the central plot?
Appreciation for 'Ong Bak'
00:17:43
Speaker
No, it's just like a side plot because there's like ah there's like a girl gremlin.
00:17:47
Speaker
Oh, okay. Nice. I like the girl one. She girl bosses in the movie and it ends. It's a little freaky. That Santa bit reminds me Cruella de Vil. Whenever we got the Cruella movie with Emma Stone, we gave her like origin.
00:18:01
Speaker
And someone, I saw someone online predict like before the movie came out, they're going like, watch the reason she hates dogs is because they killed her parents. Yeah. And like that happened in the movie, like the parents are like on a cliff or something and the Dalmatian like ran up and pushed them or something. Is that real? I think so. If I, if my memory serves me correct, is that worse than the Lilo and stitch live action?
00:18:24
Speaker
Having Lilo put in child protective services? I mean, same company. So it's the same. Yeah. It's the same hurt feelings there. Like, I wish there was like an attraction at Disney where we could go and just see like the writers do their thing.
00:18:40
Speaker
Sit in a boardroom. You just see them make the worst decisions consistently. I'd pay money to go see that. The studio, the ah the new show, The Studio on Apple TV, Seth Rogen's show, has a really funny bit. So he's ah a movie ah studio executive.
00:18:56
Speaker
And he's very much like into the arts and has wanted to do this for his whole life and finally becomes like a studio executive. And his tat his first like big job is to to make an adaptation of The Kool-Aid Man.
00:19:09
Speaker
So there's a couple episodes of him trying to get like a Kool-Aid man movie together. And I think it's just very, probably very close to like what those meetings look like for these live action remakes and weird adaptations.
00:19:21
Speaker
What's it on? Apple TV. Okay.
00:19:27
Speaker
Would you recommend it? Oh, highly. Very good show. I was telling Alex about it. Just can you guys hear that? Yes. Yes. They're mowing the lawn. is a train? They're mowing the lawn.
00:19:39
Speaker
Oh, just guys being dudes. All right. We'll go to me for my first Hear Me Out. And I put Prometheus. I think I'd pick Prometheus for one of our drafts, if I'm not mistaken, the first one. You did you yeah you did the Alien franchise. yeah okay yes i will You actually got props from someone I know that they were giving you mad props for the Alien franchise, and I believe Prometheus was the crown jewel of said props.
00:20:08
Speaker
I just want to say about Prometheus, the girls that get it, get it, and the girls that don't, don't. It's the fifth installment in the Alien franchise. 73% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 68% audience score. we got Are you showing Prometheus to a lot of girls? are
00:20:29
Speaker
No. um We got to pump those numbers up for for the review. sheet yeah She's not interested in the Alien franchise. I tried and I was like, hey, at least watch Prometheus with me. But I think it's a little too scary.
00:20:41
Speaker
Yeah. um I've got a couple bad reviews from Rotten Tomatoes that I wanted to read out. This one star review says, didn't like the storyline, ruined the franchise, would have been an average good film if it not have touched the Alien franchise though.
00:20:58
Speaker
Well said. i i couldn't have said it better myself. And this two-star review, which I, this one says, just watched it 10th time during past few years, and I felt like it's another space movie instead of Alien.
00:21:12
Speaker
Movie as standalone good, but not part of Alien. Two stars and you watched it ten times? Ten times. That's crazy. like This is the tenth time I've watched this movie. I hate it.
00:21:23
Speaker
What did the very opinionated French language speakers have to say about Previous? I didn't find any French reviews on this one and I could not and i could not read it. but um I love this movie.
00:21:37
Speaker
Good movie. if you're on the You just need to get on the right side of history here. You will be remembered as the villains if you are not what's Why do you like it so much, if you can sum it up pretty easily?
00:21:51
Speaker
It just feels like Ridley Scott came back all of these decades later and really wanted to build on the mythology of the alien universe. And so I think the inclusion of the engineers, which is like one of my favorite parts of this, and this whole conversation about higher beings and gods and where do we come from and just being able to...
00:22:16
Speaker
kind of melt that into the overarching story of alien i thought just worked really well and was really interesting and so i thought there was a lot of cool interesting things going on in prometheus thought it was shot very well um cool back around the horn what is your second hear me out i hear me out is on the back it's something i talked about our first go around on the real guys um really
00:22:46
Speaker
entertaining, uh, martial arts movie. Um, I, I grew up watching martial arts movies. I think everyone should be exposed to the exposed to them in some way. Um, cause I think it's, it's a part of, it's like a movie genre. That's just not really given much respect, I guess.
00:23:10
Speaker
Um, at at least from my perspective, um, I guess because the the emphasis isn't really on storytelling.
00:23:22
Speaker
It's really more about aura farming, which is fine and it's great. And I love that, which is, you know, the primary reason I love these movies. But um I think it's just another reason to watch movies, which is, yeah um you know, to be entertained.
00:23:43
Speaker
So, yeah, Ong Bak is... movie made in 2003, um, set in Thailand. So you're not going to get some great English, uh, dubbing, which is fine.
00:23:59
Speaker
i think it just adds to the allure. I agree. Uh, so it's about the head of a statue sacred to a village. It gets stolen and a young martial artist goes to the big city and finds himself taking on the underworld to retrieve it.
00:24:14
Speaker
Um, I think the coolest part about this movie is that there's no stunt double for the lead actor. He does all the stunts. Um, and he actually hits all the stuntmen.
00:24:28
Speaker
Oh, so there, there's even a scene where his legs are caught on fire and I think he kicks a guy like in the neck. Um, there's a lot of flipping involved, really, uh, some violent hits, but, um,
00:24:43
Speaker
Awesome movie. Just like fueled completely by adrenaline and rage and um really, really highly recommend so watching this because it's just, it's a lot of fun.
00:24:55
Speaker
The, ah the fight scene in the club in that movie. Oh, you've seen it? Like the, the Thai fight club is awesome. Is it the one with um Mad Dog? Yes.
00:25:05
Speaker
Yeah. Awesome. I've, I've seen this, right? We, I've seen it. I think so. Cause we did. Yeah. We did do it for the real guys. Mm-hmm. Yeah, this movie, though, i I do need to rewatch it like the I only saw it one time through and i think it was middle school.
00:25:23
Speaker
Yeah, but I just remember the fight scenes in this movie being awesome. Yeah, they're super, super awesome. Really well choreographed. And did you ever see two and three?
00:25:35
Speaker
I saw two for sure. And I also saw The Protector, which the lead actor Tony Jaa is also starring in. um Probably a different universe, but kind of the same theme of him just running around beating the shit out of everybody he sees.
Nostalgia for 'The Adventures of Milo and Otis'
00:25:51
Speaker
So it's good stuff.
00:25:55
Speaker
Nice. Yeah. I do. Yeah. As you're talking about it, I do remember watching it. I could see why it appeal. it would. ah Yeah. If I saw this as a child, i would been like, oh, hell yeah. Yeah. It's sick.
00:26:08
Speaker
Yeah. Great choice. Great choice. Alex, what you got for your next Hear Me Out? um I'm trying to think of what direction I want to go because I could just copy Tachi.
00:26:22
Speaker
And do a action movie. Or I could do one that it's like.
00:26:28
Speaker
such a i could go really controversial. You can do both. yeah think yeah Yeah, we got one more movie each after this. So.
00:26:41
Speaker
I don't know if I want to touch this movie in this episode or not. um It's hard ah to talk about this movie because of how I'm going to end this little spiel.
00:26:56
Speaker
um Because this was legitimately like one of my favorite movies. i don't even know what my take on this is going to be. I just feel like I need to talk about it. You just got to talk through it.
00:27:07
Speaker
I just got to talk through it. um because I still hold this movie in such high regard. I watched it like 30 times when I was a kid. It was my go to sick day movie.
00:27:19
Speaker
um The Adventures of Milo and Otis. I don't know if either of you guys have seen it. I've never even heard of this. this is It's like live action animals with like a guy narrating over it.
00:27:30
Speaker
And there was like a real story and it was originally it was made in Japan. Actually, it's like a Japanese movie that nice like somehow made its way over here. um And it was like adorable. And I just love the movie. I love the story. The music in it was really good.
00:27:47
Speaker
Had like a lot of really good classical pieces. um It introduced me ah to a lot of classical music that I still listen to today. However. When I got a little older, I learned that there was serious animal abuse allegations.
00:28:03
Speaker
Oh, no. Oh, man. ah That go along with this movie. And. I can't ever bring myself to watch it again, probably.
00:28:16
Speaker
but I still hold it in a really high regard because I cannot let the nostalgia factor go. I have it as like my most shameful eight out of 10 on Letterboxd. And that includes the eight out of 10 I gave to Cannibal Holocaust.
00:28:32
Speaker
It's got pretty good reviews. So there's a Japanese version, said, and an American version? there's So the the Japanese version, i guess, is a little different, but it's really hard to find.
00:28:42
Speaker
There's like some added scenes that are like... i've I've seen a couple of them. I've never seen the whole movie together. I went on like a deep dive on this movie, because like I said, this was like a foundational canon movie for me.
00:28:54
Speaker
And... There are some scenes that are allegedly part of the Japanese cut, and they i have to be. I don't know where else they would have come from, where it's just like so surreal and like messed up.
00:29:09
Speaker
like You just feel weird watching it. Weird. um But like the dub is different, which is, like I don't know where this actually really came from. i like That's just Cope. like it It clearly came from the movie.
00:29:23
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:25
Speaker
um And it doesn't really do itself any favors because it ends with... Not with... Like, no animals were harmed in the making of this movie, but it ends with, like, all the animals were cared for and their safety was prioritized in this movie.
00:29:43
Speaker
That seems like a weird backtrack. Yeah. um Like, hey, we did it to the best of our ability. Right? It's... Yeah, and I just... You know, the cannibal holocaust, that could be my other.
00:29:57
Speaker
Hear me out. Yeah, they're both eight out of 10s and they're both like. Extremely out there and they both somehow involve animal abuse. What does that say about your taste? I don't. I promise to the viewers and listeners that I love animals. And I love and cherish them.
00:30:17
Speaker
I do not condone animal abuse.
00:30:22
Speaker
We believe you. That's the official Lost Boys statement. yeah But these movies are I like them for different reasons, but I don't think I could ever watch Milo Notice again without getting like just crud.
00:30:36
Speaker
Yeah. Like reality hitting. Makes sense. Would you... I know you won't watch it, but would you recommend it?
00:30:46
Speaker
I don't know. mean, it's it's if you were to ignore everything, it's a really sweet movie. Yeah, there is one scene that I and this is also probably cope.
00:30:57
Speaker
But there is there is one scene where everyone's like, oh, this is clear cut instance of them abusing an animal. And i don't think it is because.
00:31:11
Speaker
I think they did some movie magic with it. And it's the only part where I actually think they were literally faking it instead of what happens on the screen actually happening. Uh-huh.
00:31:22
Speaker
But if you ignore that scene, it's pretty, it's pretty cute movie. All things considered. It's only an hour 16, maybe, maybe. But yeah, I've seen it like 30, 30 something times.
00:31:35
Speaker
Good pick. All right. I might watch it. Yeah. I'm very curious.
Malik on 'Hurry Up Tomorrow'
00:31:41
Speaker
I'm just curious now. This so shrouded in mystery. Yeah, I hope curiosity doesn't kill the cat.
00:31:48
Speaker
Is that good?
00:31:52
Speaker
Moving on. All right.
00:31:56
Speaker
My next Hear Me Out is a recent release that I'm sure is still in theaters, so you can go check this out if you would like. But I'm picking Hurry Up Tomorrow.
00:32:07
Speaker
No. Yes. i don't think no and have you should. Have you guys seen it? Yes. Tachi, did you watch it? I've only seen the one viral clip. The one clip? Yeah, with his teeth. think the clip... ah Okay, yeah, we'll get in. Okay, hurry up tomorrow.
00:32:22
Speaker
A musician plagued by insomnia is pulled into an odyssey with a stranger who begins to unravel the very core of his existence. This is the cinematic accompaniment... What?
00:32:33
Speaker
Accompaniment? Accompaniment? Accompaniment is that how say it? yeah Yes. Cinematic accompaniment to the weekend's final album also titled Hurry Up Tomorrow. That's his last album?
00:32:46
Speaker
It's his last album. So now what? This is it. Now he's the weekday.
00:32:53
Speaker
That was Cam's joke. I stole it.
00:32:57
Speaker
I had to. um Yeah, I recently saw this in theaters. It has got... do you guys want to guess, actually, what the Rotten Tomatoes score is on this is, both critics and audience?
00:33:09
Speaker
It can't be high. I'm going to give it a 30%. For critics? Both. Okay, 30% for both. In the 30s for both. All right, Tachi, what is your guess? I'll say critics, 55%.
00:33:21
Speaker
fifty five Audience, 40 okay critics 14 okay and audience 64 i had to swap so still not great but i was very i'm kind of shocked to see a 14 on this and i just want to say so when this album came ah go ahead I'll admit the 14% is a little too low.
00:33:46
Speaker
It's not. It can't be that bad. It not a 14% movie. That's like shockingly bad. Yeah. there's i think for I think for general audiences that go to watch this that maybe aren't really big fans of The Weeknd, I can see... I think all the criticisms are valid, I just want to say.
00:34:08
Speaker
like i don't I think everyone... it's so like It's okay, but I can just imagine like general audiences walking into this not really, maybe knowing some of like the popular weekend songs, watching this and just being like, what the fuck did we just watch? like What was that shit?
00:34:21
Speaker
Because it's very much, i think, like style over substance. and the story's really not that i just don't know i've been a really big fan of the weekend for a very long time and i i just enjoyed it i enjoyed myself like i go on letterbox and it's just one star one and a half stars and then there's me i think i put it at like three and a half but i don't think it's that bad all right i don't and it made me appreciate the album more
00:34:52
Speaker
Tachi, know you loved the album when it came out. and I listened to it a couple times. I was like, oh, this is a pretty good album. Following this movie, I've been nonstop listening to this album. um Are you a weekend stan, Malik?
00:35:05
Speaker
I am. Okay. and it And it's been like that since, I think, my sophomore year of high school. Okay. And I'm about to be 30 tomorrow.
00:35:16
Speaker
Biased? Yes. Justified? Yes. I disagree. and that's And that's why we made this segment. um That was so self-indulgent.
00:35:30
Speaker
like Let me talk about the good before I talk about the bad. It insists upon itself. It insists upon... No. um It's really well made. There was a lot of times where I was like looking at what happened on screen, and I was like, this was...
00:35:47
Speaker
Someone cooked here. Someone really cooked behind the camera. And it was ah it was a pleasure to look at. Like active power. But as someone who likes The Weeknd, I don't love him. I'm not a Stan.
00:36:02
Speaker
i like The Weeknd.
00:36:06
Speaker
That was just so... Like, I am sniffing my own farts.
00:36:14
Speaker
And it was... could almost be described as like the writer who was the weekend, um, trying to write some sort of like weird fetish thing, but he wasn't actually brave enough to do it.
00:36:30
Speaker
Like getting tied up by Jenna Ortega and then who whose agent hates her, by the way. Um, that's another thing we bring up like each episode getting tied up by Jenna Ortega. And then like,
00:36:48
Speaker
Just getting talked at about your music. I mean, I made the joke. I sent the joke where it was literally Jenna Ortega, but she's doing the Huey Lewis and the News bit from American Psycho.
00:36:59
Speaker
Yeah. You know, it was like. i don't think he was brave enough to actually do what was supposed to be done for that. Like he could have gone deeper and I think he made it to surface surface level. like he didn't commit to the bit enough to where it came off as this isn't experimental. This is like you're kind of just jerking yourself off.
00:37:25
Speaker
And again, that's a valid critique.
00:37:30
Speaker
And I think if it wasn't the weekend in it, like if it was like the Malik end, was you, no one would care. And everyone would it's bad. is guy?
00:37:43
Speaker
because it's the weekend and it's like, oh, he's an artist. It's like, I feel like you have people like, well, it's actually pretty deep. But I did not. The thing is, like, I don't even have this, like, facade of, oh no, it was actually like really deep.
00:37:56
Speaker
like I do agree with a lot of the points that you were saying. And that is actually one of my least favorite scenes in the movie because we are quite literally just being talked at. and i think so it wasn't a good enough actor to carry it. It should have been somebody else. it should it could Yeah, it should have been somebody else. So I think there's a lot of good ideas in it and it could have been executed a bit better.
00:38:18
Speaker
But at the end of the day, it just felt like a little glimpse into... Into like ah his overall tortured mind, his sick, twisted mind.
00:38:31
Speaker
Things are so fucked up up there. um Yeah. Yeah. like Like I said, I think you're very valid in in how you feel in the opinions and everything like that. And I think there is a huge bias, but I also think that that's okay. And almost the point.
00:38:46
Speaker
I also didn't know it was a movie about the album until I was about 15 minutes into the movie and I was like, oh, the the album was called Hurry Up Tomorrow 2, wasn't it? Yeah.
00:38:58
Speaker
He said he had the idea for the movie first and then the album came. Does it play every song through the album? No. Only a couple. Okay. Only a couple.
00:39:09
Speaker
But yeah, it did get me stoked on the album. i've been listening to it a lot. Nice. Yeah. would you Would you put it above anything you added up below previously? Like album-wise?
00:39:19
Speaker
Yeah. um Oh, that would be fun to do a ranking of the weekend. It wouldn't beat anything. it It honestly might be... well but no
00:39:33
Speaker
It might be like second to last or third to last still, but I still really like it. Similar to, look, we're going to have a Mission Impossible episode. Similar to Mission Impossible. Okay, yeah, yeah. Not a single bad movie.
Tachi Talks 'Willie's Wonderland'
00:39:45
Speaker
There's just least best and best best. Yeah, makes sense. Yeah. It's still my favorite album, though. ah Hurry Up Tomorrow is your favorite album? Yeah. That's insane. It has, like, the highest re-listenability to me.
00:39:58
Speaker
Oh, that's crazy. It's a hot take. Oh, man, we're going to have to have a whole weekend episode. We're gonna have a Hurry Up Tomorrow deep dive. I think I'll be getting married during that episode.
00:40:12
Speaker
Alright, that was ah my second Hear Me Out. I'll be back to T-Money. Sure. So this one is a movie I wouldn't even necessarily want to say as a hear me out it's more of like the idea of it and kind of I guess where it fits in to movie genres which is just like kind of a campy we just want to have fun type of attitude.
00:40:42
Speaker
Um, but this movie is Willie's wonderland. Let's go. Starring Nicholas cage. Is that the five nights at Freddy's? Yeah. Spoof.
00:40:52
Speaker
Yeah. yeah Um, so quick summary, uh, when his car breaks down, a quiet loaner agrees to clean and abandoned family fund center in exchange for car repairs. Um,
00:41:04
Speaker
He soon finds himself waging war against possessed animatronic mascots while trapped inside Willy's Wonderland. I loved this movie. It
00:41:15
Speaker
it was like It was fun and it also wasn't. It had a lot of boring bits scattered in between you know kind of the highlights of him just being so overly violent and just having and a great time.
00:41:30
Speaker
um one of One of the strange aspects though is that he doesn't speak a word for the whole movie. um So he's like having his Ryan Gosling drive moment.
00:41:42
Speaker
Yeah. Because I just have to reference Ryan Gosling. But, um yeah, I don't know why that decision had to be made, but... but um I don't know. It's just a really fun movie where it seems like everyone's having a great time.
00:42:00
Speaker
And there is actually one really cool shot. I don't know if you remember it, Malik, but it's like red backlighting and he's standing in a doorway. Yeah. He's just looking like very ominous and yeah cool.
00:42:13
Speaker
Um, like a bad-ass. So I don't know. it's,
00:42:20
Speaker
I don't know if people should watch this movie. but i think it's ah I think it's that type of movie where it's like you need to be in a full theater yeah to get like the full experience. like Maybe watching it by yourself at home, like I think you'd be bored and like not get much out of it. It's like specifically made for like a full rowdy theater. yeah Or like a party.
00:42:37
Speaker
Yeah. yeah yeah it's How did it compare to Five Nights at Freddy's? I don't know. I haven't seen it. I also haven't seen it. I saw it. How was it?
00:42:48
Speaker
It was really mid. What does that mean? It's movie. I liked Matthew Lillard in it, but I like him in almost everything I see him in. So... fair he's great it's all in here being out i you have my uh you have my vote for willie's wonderland yeah it's it's a strange one um i wouldn't say it's good i i wouldn't say it's well made wouldn't say it has good writing um but i will say
00:43:22
Speaker
Movies like this have their place and um depending on the mood and the setting, they can be really fun. and And that's kind of the whole point.
Debating 'Pulp Fiction'
00:43:32
Speaker
So that's just kind of why I wanted to include that.
00:43:35
Speaker
Beautiful. So Alex, your next one. Do we want to hear about Cannibal Holocaust or do you want to hear about a lauded movie that I think is overrated? Oh, I want to hear the overrated.
00:43:48
Speaker
Yeah. Pulp Fiction. Super overrated. Let's talk about it. I wouldn't even put it in Tarantino's top five. I wouldn't either. haven't even seen it. So I think it's so. I mean, this is one of those things where Pulp Fiction fanboys are going to blow up our comments and they're going to say, um Alex, you suck.
00:44:09
Speaker
But hear me out. I like Tarantino a lot. I think that movie is way too long. I think it is. And it's what I get it.
00:44:22
Speaker
I get the movie. I don't I'm not lost on what is happening. i didn't think it was confusing. ah just thought it was. i didn't think it was interesting enough.
00:44:35
Speaker
To have that. to to be presented in that way. um I didn't particularly care about anything that was happening on screen, which is really rare for me from a Tarantino movie because I think he does a really good job at me making really like crappy people interesting and make a story gripping.
00:44:53
Speaker
Like Reservoir Dogs, all those guys suck. Especially if ah you're um you're in the service industry. But, um you know, I cared about what happened in that movie.
00:45:06
Speaker
I was really gripped by it, you know? ah Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, you know, same thing. Like, all of them, really. Even, like, stuff Tarantino has written that he didn't direct, like, from Dusk Till Dawn. You know, all those characters are bad people, but...
00:45:22
Speaker
you you're you're rooting for him you're interested in the story and i just i never got that with pulp fiction and i never understood why it was like film bro canon why it was a movie that was so universally praised and loved to the point where it almost became a joke to have it as one of your favorite movies ever mm-hmm And like, I don't just having seen every Tarantino movie except for Death Proof, which I need to watch.
00:45:54
Speaker
um I would not put it in my my top five. I would say his best is probably it's a coin flip for me between Django Unchained and Inglourious Bastards.
00:46:06
Speaker
It honestly depends on my mood. Right now, I'm probably thinking Inglourious Bastards. But Django is number two. I would say Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is three. I would say Kill Bill is four.
00:46:19
Speaker
um I'm partial to the first Kill Bill if we're going to split them up. So I would say Kill Bill Part One is four. And then my really hot Tarantino take is Jackie Brown is top five. I love Jackie Brown.
00:46:32
Speaker
I think that's a really good movie. And I feel like it gets no love at all. I feel like people don't even count it as existing in Tarantino's catalog.
00:46:43
Speaker
It gets in the shuffle. What'd you say? It gets lost in the shuffle for sure. Lost in the frame? What? um and I think every single one of those movies delivered itself better to me than Pulp Fiction did.
00:47:07
Speaker
and i just i get I guess I feel left out and I feel slighted by that. um But I've never understood the hype for that movie.
00:47:20
Speaker
And maybe I never will. But maybe I'll rewatch it one day and then
Malik Defends 'Babylon'
00:47:25
Speaker
it'll click. so But for now, it is it is a hear me out that I don't think that that's a great movie.
00:47:32
Speaker
I think that's fair. um You brought up a good point with it kind of being cemented in like the film bro history. I would love to do a deep dive on like what makes a movie. What gave it the following of the quote unquote film bro?
00:47:46
Speaker
which it And I would love to do that too because I actually have such a hardcore film bro take that um was in the honorable mentions for this episode. and We could talk about that too because is it is literally like such a film bro take.
00:48:01
Speaker
And I'd love to talk about that one day. Yeah, we'll our honorable mentions after my last ah after my last one. You also have one, Tachi? All right. Let me do my last one and then we can get into our honorable mentions.
00:48:14
Speaker
Cool. um And I don't think I fully know how you guys feel about this movie, but this broke my heart looking at the tomato meter on this one. But my last Hear Me Out... is 2022's babylon tell by damien chazelle i don't understand yep i don't understand why people hate it 50 critics on rotten tomatoes 52 audience audience It has decent reviews on Letterboxd, right? Like it's a 3-7 out of 5 or something? I feel like a lot of people that are on Letterboxd love this movie, but it's like the overarching audience that just doesn't, which is the louder the louder voice. And then I'll see if I can find like a like a one-star review, but one of the things that I see people say a lot about this movie is they just don't like...
00:49:04
Speaker
They think it's really pretentious. And I think fully disagree with that in the way that it's people looking at it, maybe like Damien Chazelle, maybe like you said earlier about the weekend, like sniffing his own farts, like high on his own supply. And just because this is a movie like about movies and how much I think he appreciates like the golden age of Hollywood and how that shaped maybe who he is as a filmmaker now.
00:49:27
Speaker
But I mean, I think it's really earnest and I think it's honest and I just see a lot of passion that comes out from this. And it's a this so this is a great movie. This is a five out of five for me. I love this movie.
00:49:39
Speaker
It's it's so well made, even if you think it's a little self-indulgent, like the opening party scene. Yeah, it sequences. Yeah. Yeah. And this the soundtrack is unbelievable.
00:49:51
Speaker
The soundtrack is so good. How that wasn't even nominated for an Oscar was a travesty. Yep. Let's see. I found a half star review. Somebody owes me three hours of my life back.
00:50:02
Speaker
Garish, pseudo Baz Luhrmann-esque, soft porn, disjointed, bad accents, and ultimately very boring show. The only interesting part of the movie was the set design. Wonderful furniture and some amazing vehicles.
00:50:14
Speaker
After the first hour, I didn't care about any of the characters. And when the show mercifully was finally over, the only good thing about it was that it was finally over. pseudo Baz Luhrmann-esque is hilarious. That is kind of funny. you know But it is actually pretty accurate. As someone who loves the movie, like I get it.
00:50:33
Speaker
Yeah, kind of cooked on that one. um yeah this Yeah, this is a fantastic movie. It's got a great... One of my favorite sequences in this is the Tobey Maguire scene towards the end of the movie with like the whole underground fight club.
00:50:48
Speaker
like Just goes in a completely different direction. So like some argue that like, why is this part of the movie? I think we got a good, we got a good performance out of Tobey Maguire and that's just a really, that's just a really fun time.
00:50:59
Speaker
But I think the lead in it, um Diego Calvo was awesome and I haven't really seen him in anything else. Yeah, I haven't either. I haven't either. Were you to say too many?
00:51:10
Speaker
Oh, um I was going to say, I think I'm with the audience on this one. I will need to rewatch it just because it's a movie that you love so much. Um, and I, I want to watch all these movies that you guys love, but I, I just found myself being pretty bored throughout the entirety of the movie.
00:51:29
Speaker
Um, but I, I will give it a second chance. I mean, it was years and years ago, so, um, I'll hear you out, but i just have memories of it being Kind of just like droning on, but hear about it. think it's also just just really funny.
00:51:49
Speaker
Another scene that I'll shout out is the... um So this is ah movie about like the golden age of Hollywood and as we get into like color in film and sound and so when they first start ah filming with sound it's all very new to them and so there's a scene with Margot Robbie on set trying to get into a right the right position with the microphone and they're trying to figure it out so they got the sound guy in the sound box and they just have to keep doing the take over and over and over again.
00:52:16
Speaker
And the scene is drawn out. I think it's like a 15 minute scene of basically the same joke, just repeating like every minute or so. But it just, it worked. I think it works and it's hilarious. And the way that the scene culminates is just so good.
00:52:31
Speaker
So Babylon five out of five for me audiences. I'll find you.
Additional Movie Opinions and Anecdotes
00:52:38
Speaker
You found me. Hands up. Awesome. Who wants to go through their honorable mentions or their other hot takes?
00:52:47
Speaker
I'll start with some. um you know Obviously, my Cannibal Holocaust take will be saved for another show. But I think Wolf of Wall Street is a top three Scorsese.
00:52:58
Speaker
and I agree. and is such a film bro take, but that movie is so good. Some film bro movies are just... It gets such a bad rap, I think, because of people who started to idolize Jordan Belfort.
00:53:11
Speaker
Yeah. be like ah He's literally me. But if you take that away, the movie is so good. It is hard to make a three hour movie feel like an hour and 30 minutes.
00:53:23
Speaker
That movie does. and It's super fun. Yeah. I'm glad we're all in agreeance there. Some film bro movies have it right. Yeah. However, some have it wrong. And that's Fight Club.
00:53:36
Speaker
I hate Fight Club. oh I think Fight Club is trash. Wow. And you know what? I can't even articulate it. I just hate it. So suck on that. That's a 10 for me. Fight Club is a 10 out of 10 for me. That's another film or movie that I'm actually... Yeah, I just hate it.
00:53:53
Speaker
I didn't enjoy a second of it. I don't know Not even one second. Okay, maybe one. Maybe Brad Pitt shirtless. But I don't know. i just...
00:54:05
Speaker
I'm not afraid to say that I didn't get it because I didn't really get it. I like I've heard the themes that it's trying to get across, but I just I didn't get that from my viewing of it.
00:54:16
Speaker
It just didn't work for you. Yeah, just nothing worked for me. And then and I don't know that, you know, the the big spoiler was, and you know, revealed to me really early on, way before and watched the movie. But I just didn't like Fight Club at all.
00:54:35
Speaker
it's my puncture.
00:54:39
Speaker
That's a good hot take. I thought puncture was your puncture. ah Puncture is its own thing. It's on a level. It's so bad that it created its own category. Essentially. Yeah.
00:54:52
Speaker
Um, one of my honorable mentions, i don't know if you guys have seen this one, but it is Darren Aronofsky's mother starring Jennifer Lawrence. No, I haven't seen that one, but I've heard it is just like hot take central.
00:55:05
Speaker
That's, that's a, that's a hot take central movie. Um,
00:55:10
Speaker
You guys should watch it. I showed this. All I'll say about it is this. I showed this movie to my family. And they usually trust me like with recommending movies and everything like that.
00:55:23
Speaker
And I watched this and I was like, I'm going show it to them. like Kind of fully knowing that they were going to hate it. Now I get questioned every time I recommend a movie because of this. This movie ruined my reputation that I had with them.
00:55:35
Speaker
So I'll just leave it at that. but That's crazy. my brother actually went through a very similar thing where we always trusted his movie takes like when we get stuff from blockbuster or red box yeah and um one day he brought home the road and we're like okay it's got vigo mortensen like we love him from lord of the rings um that we we've never forgiven him for that and it's just the most depressing movie of all time so do with that what you will the road is a hard watch yeah
00:56:08
Speaker
Yeah, that's i mean, that's a Cormac McCarthy novel, so it's going to be rough. Do you have any similar stories like that, Alex? um I'm trying to think.
00:56:20
Speaker
Because I know my dad has one where he's lost our trust for a bit. ah He put on this claymation. thing called Harvey Crumpet. It was like a short. It was like 20 minutes long.
00:56:33
Speaker
um And we loved claymation as a kid, like Chicken Run, Wallace and Gromit. But Harvey Crumpet was like adult claymation. And there's a couple scenes where like Harvey Crumpets and like um and an insane asylum, like naked, running around, dancing. It was kind of crazy.
00:56:51
Speaker
And we were like eight. When we're watching this. um So my dad was kind of banned from. ah from From picking claymation movies for a bit.
00:57:03
Speaker
I had a first date once where I. And I tried to talk her out of it. ah We watched Skin of Mering. Yeah.
00:57:15
Speaker
That movie sucks. Have you seen Skin of Mering? I have not. um I didn't love it. it didn't help that it was a first date and it didn't help that I watched it on Hulu and there were ad breaks in between.
00:57:32
Speaker
So like the movie's like atmosphere was completely shattered because it was like, you know be like just static shots of like a hallway. And then it was like Charmin ultra soft, like wiping, there's nothing left behind.
00:57:47
Speaker
Then it would go back to the movie. yeah, I think skin of a rink could have like skin of a rink belongs to a genre that I've never been able to get into at all. Like analog horror.
00:57:58
Speaker
And like Malik Tachi, have you seen those like analog horror like series on YouTube? I've never been able to get into them. And I've tried because it's like I love horror. I kind of love the vibes of it, but it's always so boring.
00:58:14
Speaker
And the payoff is like 30 seconds of like some guy with like a like a big face. Yeah, it doesn't do anything for me. um Skin my rink, I think, would have been really good ah as a short, like 30 minutes long.
00:58:26
Speaker
It would have gotten its point across. You could have done like the empty ambient feeling because there were a couple of really good moments where i was like, oh, that's pretty unsettling. But to actually get there was such a slog.
00:58:39
Speaker
Yep. And people love that movie. That movie's got some shooters. And ah remember i was very excited for it. And I watched it. I was just like, what the? Like, I was just I fell out of the loop. i was like, did we watch the same movie?
00:58:55
Speaker
I was I I wanted it to be good and I really gave it a shot. I know you hated it going into it because then when I because I like when I saw you at work the next day,
00:59:06
Speaker
I was purposely like, I got something to tell you. Yeah. It was like, I went on date last night. and you're like, oh, how'd it go? And I'm like, we watched Skidmerink. And you're like, what?
00:59:18
Speaker
That's like a that's a crazy, that's a crazy movie to put on for a first date. You bring it up like every time you saw me for like that week. Because it's insane. I tried to say like.
00:59:31
Speaker
Yeah. like I gave her like three chances to be like, no, I don't want to watch this. Cause what, what happened was we were just looking on Hulu for movies to watch. And I was going through like recommended. It was like Oh, skin ring. I'm like, Oh, like I want to check this out at some point. And so I clicked add to my list and then starts going. She's like, why don't we just watch that one? If you want to watch it. And I'm like,
00:59:54
Speaker
ah I was like, I'm not sure it's the vibe. And she's like, but I like horror. And I'm like, yeah, but it's like a really weird kind of horror. I've never seen it. It's just what I've heard about it. And she was like, let's check it out. Like, you know, always like to try something new once.
01:00:08
Speaker
And I'm like. OK, and then so like 15 minutes in, she's like, wow, nothing's really happening. And so I pause and I go. i don't mean to spoil this, but this is the whole movie.
01:00:21
Speaker
Like this is basically the entire movie. And she goes. Okay hit play.
01:00:29
Speaker
wait i And after she was like that wasn't very good. And I was like. tried to tell you. At least you tried. Like I made it. i did not push that.
01:00:43
Speaker
Like I wanted to watch something normal. And we watched Skin Meringue. Anything. Act of Valor even.
01:00:52
Speaker
I couldn't ever watch active valor with a woman. Awesome. Any other honorable mentions from you guys? Yeah, I'll say this real quick since we're kind of still on the topic of horror.
01:01:05
Speaker
This goes back to Cronenberg movie that we reviewed one time. And I just want to say the Cronenberg family needs to not have access to filmmaking equipment for the rest of their lives.
01:01:21
Speaker
That's good. I don't like anything. spurned this infinity pool? it was No, it was the one with Vigo. Yeah, and Kristen Stewart. um I'm forgetting the name of it. Yeah, it's so weird.
01:01:33
Speaker
I remember tagline. It was like, surgery surgery is the new sex. I'm forgetting the name of the movie. It's just like stupid. I don't know. Which which Cronenberg? david i believe yeah the old one the bad i just like i don't like that man i don't like the messages that he has to say and um i don't think he should be making movies crimes of the future crimes of the future the the movie was a crime in my eyes I think it's what I said before. I remember like immediately when that ended.
01:02:06
Speaker
i think you were just like someone you said exactly that. You're like someone needs to take away this family's right to make movies. I was just angry. I wasn't even disappointed and like upset that I wasted my time.
01:02:18
Speaker
I was angry. Your letterboxd review is is hilarious. Oh, what is it? Yeah, what is it? I don't remember it. It's more like... So, Crimes of the Future. More like Crimes on my eyeballs.
01:02:31
Speaker
F-U, Cronenberg. Freak, in all caps.
01:02:37
Speaker
Yeah, I think that gets, you know, my my feelings across pretty well. I hated it. Yeah. And you told me that pretty much everything else is weird like that, so I just... have zero... I have negative interest, actually.
01:02:49
Speaker
Yeah, weird, uh... different Different movies for sure. If I can convince as many people as I can to avoid his movies, I will. I want watch Crash and Videodrome.
01:03:00
Speaker
There's one Cronenberg I watched. oh Man, what was it called? But it had... um What's his name? Who's... Walken. Christopher Walken. The Dead Zone.
01:03:13
Speaker
Have you seen The Dead Zone, Alex? No. I actually haven't seen a movie of his. I've only seen Infinity Pool, which is the kids. The Dead Zone is so good. i watched so I watched it a little bit under the substance with Oscar a few years ago.
01:03:28
Speaker
And all we were like, that was a trip. That was such a good movie. I just, I don't believe you. There's no way. It was so good.
01:03:40
Speaker
I mean, just listen to the plot of Crash. and And this is a movie that I actually would be interested in seeing. I've heard a lot of good things about it. After getting into a serious car accident, a TV director discovers an underground subculture of scarred, omnisexual car crash victims.
01:03:57
Speaker
And he begins to use car accidents and the raw sexual energy they produce to try and rejuvenate his sex life with his wife. Like what? Which kind of 3.7 5 on Letterboxd. crash i think i have that on dvd actually but i haven't seen it are you sure it's that crash or is it the crash that won the oscar for best picture that is i'll let you know whenever we wrap this episode up i'm pretty sure i've got the cronenberg crash on dvd for some reason what a nightmare are no lost in the crash we review crash and crash
