Ryan: Can't find it. My desk is a fucking mess.
tommy cresta: Did you move your desk?
Ryan: A little while ago. Yeah.
tommy cresta: Where's your bed now?
Ryan: It's there.
tommy cresta: Oh, is it by the door?
Ryan: It's right there. No, it's against the wall. You know that little cutout?
tommy cresta: Oh, where it comes out a little bit. yeah Nice.
Ryan: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's right there.
Ryan: It's not the best setup. I kind of panic that I was like, I don't know. I got to change it up a little bit. And it's not the most comfortable thing in the world. But it works.
tommy cresta: ah It works, that's all that matters.
Ryan: Yeah, it works.
tommy cresta: But yeah, we are doing 10 best, five worst honorable mentions for best, and then we're doing ah disappointing, which doesn't mean that they have to be, per se, bad movies, they just could have not hit where we wanted them to go.
Ryan: All right. Grab my blue light glasses.
tommy cresta: So I think we should do
Ryan: Mm hmm.
tommy cresta: I think we should do disappointing worst and then 10 through two best honorable mentions in our number ones at the end.
Ryan: OK.
tommy cresta: Does that work for you?
Ryan: Yeah, that works.
tommy cresta: Okay. Do you want to, do you want to get started with your number one disappointment or your number three disappointing or all three? All right.
Ryan: All right.
tommy cresta: Whatever you want to.
Ryan: All three disappointing. Is that what we're doing?
tommy cresta: Well, how do you, you, you make the
Ryan: I can do all three. I mean, I feel like disappointing is and kind of just go one by one because there's not, you know, yeah, it's only three.
tommy cresta: It's only three.
Ryan: All right.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: So I'll start off my three most disappointing movies. Number three, I have Love Lies Bleeding, which I don't know why I had such high hopes for this movie. I just saw the trailer and I was like, that should be fun.
Ryan: And then I watched the movie and it was just, it wasn't awful. Like I'm not again, these aren't bad movies per se, but it was just fucking weird the entire time.
Ryan: especially the ending just kind of threw me off a lot. It wasn't an awful movie and I think the the actresses did wonderful, um but just didn't live up to what I was hoping it would be in a nice, you know, I thought I'd have it a ah nice, decent little like kind of action thriller movie to watch.
Ryan: on a cool summer night and it just was not that at all. Um, so number two, I have Maxine, the third movie in, uh, the X franchise.
tommy cresta: I forgot about Maxine.
Ryan: Yeah. That was just, I mean, just completely different from the first two, which mean you both love X and Pearl or some of her favorite movies of those respective years.
Ryan: Where do they come on the same?
tommy cresta: Yeah?
Ryan: No, they were a year after each other, but, um, yeah.
tommy cresta: No, they're they're all year apart.
Ryan: So love those first two movies. And then this one was just like a completely different movie. It was it was really weird. It didn't feel the same at all. Like, yeah, you had the same character of Maxine and Mia Goth was still doing a great job. But this movie was just fucking wacky. And I don't know if you want to call it a twist at the end to the villain was with her dad. It was just an odd fucking movie that I just I really was disappointed by considering how much I love the first two.
Ryan: um me got still got fucking she should have been at least nominated for an Oscar and for Pearl but uh my number one most disappointing movie and it's a movie that I want to be clear is disappointing from the get -go from the first announcements of it not from like oh the trailer looked decent it's Joker Joker 2 because like why the fuck would you do that yeah yeah they they shouldn't have made a sequel in the first place but
tommy cresta: I know where you're going with this, yep.
Ryan: I feel like there are things you could have done with the sequel that could have been cool. And they just didn't do any of those things. It's just, it's just wildly like, what were it was just for money. And it's so disappointing that they get away with that and just run off like bandits after just making a shit movie to a very good first movie shit sequel.
tommy cresta: I mean, terrible, terrible sequel. Damn, I forgot about Maxine.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: That shows how disappointing it was.
Ryan: yeah
tommy cresta: mayam mine three My number three is Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
Ryan: Hmm.
tommy cresta: I thought this movie was going to be so much fun. Going into it. Guy Ritchie, rated R. Got some of the biggest Hollywood hunks out there right now. Henry Golding, ah Alan Richardson, Henry Cavill.
Ryan: Oh.
tommy cresta: You got all the boys to come in together. Isaac Gonzalez. And this movie was just not, it wasn't fun. I didn't have enough, I didn't have a good time with it. I stayed up really late to go see it and I had to go away with the army the next day.
tommy cresta: So I was like, this is gonna be good. It's gonna be a nice send off and it wasn't. It's too long, it's too boring, there's not enough action. And Alan Risson is wasted away by his character.
Ryan: Okay.
tommy cresta: So that is definitely my number three.
Ryan: Fair enough.
tommy cresta: Number two is Joker 2. Shouldn't never been made, should never been announced, should never happened. I should never had to sit through that movie. I should never had to sit through the worst third act ever.
Ryan: Hmm.
tommy cresta: God, that movie shouldn't have been made. But it's still not one of the worst movies of the year. I have five movies. I have definitely, six movies that are definitely worse than that. And my number one most disappointing movie of the year is Argyle.
tommy cresta: A movie I was so excited for. I love Matthew Vaughn. And this movie was just a flop.
Ryan: the twisted mind of Matthew Vaughn.
tommy cresta: Twisted Mind, Matthew.
Ryan: He's very, he's such a twisted guy.
tommy cresta: ah
tommy cresta: ah Matthew Vaughn for the don't know who did Kick Ass and he's done the
Ryan: Kingsman.
tommy cresta: Kingsman movies, thank you. And I thought this movie's gonna follow kind of like the same vibe of those ones and just doesn't. It's way too over the top. Some of the CGI is god awful.
tommy cresta: Sam Rockwell tries his best to save this movie. And there's just nothing there. And then with the end to show Henry Cavill again, but really redneck version of it.
tommy cresta: I don't know. It was just, it was just a disappointing movie from beginning to end.
Ryan: Yeah.
Ryan: Bryce Dallas Howard was doing her best too, but just didn't, didn't work. I don't know.
tommy cresta: I don't know if it's her or if she just chooses bad movies.
Ryan: Odd movie.
tommy cresta: so
Ryan: Yeah. I don't think it's her cause she is a good actress. Like you look back at her like older stuff too. She's fucking great, but man, she's just on a cold streak and a half.
tommy cresta: Jurassic World Dominion, baby.
Ryan: Mm -hmm. All right.
tommy cresta: Damn.
Ryan: So what are we going to now? And then worst.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
tommy cresta: And we can go, I feel like we can go. Do you want to do this one like back and forth?
Ryan: Yeah, we can do that.
tommy cresta: ah
Ryan: All right. So number five, I want to be perfectly clear this year. I i didn't realize how many shit movies that I just skipped out on. It didn't watch. I want to be clear.
Ryan: I'm happy I did that because I don't like watching bad movies. So my number five is going to be rebel moon two.
tommy cresta: I forgot about Rebel Moon!
Ryan: I didn't watch Rebel Moon 2. I didn't watch Rebel Moon 2, but I won a shit on Rebel Moon, because that first one sucked so goddamn bad that I know this one's way worse.
tommy cresta: That came out this year, didn't it?
Ryan: Yeah, no, 2 came out this year. I think Rebel Moon was last year. It was like December last year.
tommy cresta: Was it?
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: ah Yeah, 23.
Ryan: Because I think that was my number one last year, or number two. It was bad.
tommy cresta: It was bad.
Ryan: It was very bad. and Yeah, so Rebel Moon 2, I didn't watch. But I know it would be on there. So that's there you go.
tommy cresta: You didn't watch Row Moon 2, Skargiver?
Ryan: Scar giver? No. are you going to watch You're probably gonna watch the rated R cuts when they come out.
tommy cresta: No.
Ryan: No, I know you will.
tommy cresta: Those movies, those are terrible.
Ryan: No, some fucking dork on Instagram is gonna be like, well, they're actually much, much better. They're actually really good. It's like a nine out of 10. You're gonna be like, well, maybe I'll give it a shot.
Ryan: Maybe it'll be like Batman v Superman good.
tommy cresta: It's not. Batman V Superman is better.
Ryan: Fuck off. No.
tommy cresta: It has a 66 instead of a 28.
Ryan: It's still not a good score.
tommy cresta: But it's better than 28.
Ryan: If you got a 66 on a test, you're going to be like, yes.
tommy cresta: Me?
tommy cresta: me Yes. Especially in high school now. Not so much, but in high school definitely.
Ryan: no
tommy cresta: Um, my number five worst movie of the year goes to the strangers chapter one, a movie that I think I just so much hopes with that I walked out. I was like, it wasn't actually that bad. I went back and saw it two days later and was like, wow, this might be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. So that shows you how bad this year had my five worst are terrible movies. I mean, there's four other movies I think are out there with the worst things I've ever seen.
tommy cresta: So yeah, the watcher, the strangers, Jesus, criminals. I don't know how you, you had the whole story laid out for you and you still messed it up.
Ryan: Jiminy crickets Yeah,
tommy cresta: Yeah, that was rough.
Ryan: that's another one I avoided Yeah, just like my number four and I have this on my list because I had to hear you talk about it for way too goddamn long It's the crow which I know is dogshit and I'm never gonna see it
tommy cresta: That's gonna bomb.
tommy cresta: How do you put Rebel Moon 2 better than The Crow?
Ryan: All right. A, I know it's bad. And B, I wanted to piss you off. So I put it at four because I don't like it and I don't want to watch it.
tommy cresta: There are worse movies than The Crow that came out this year.
Ryan: Okay. Womp womp. Fuck you. I know you liked it and I wanted to make you angry.
tommy cresta: It was acceptable. It wasn't good. It was acceptable.
Ryan: It was bad. It was disappointing. It was bad.
tommy cresta: It almost made my disappointment less.
Ryan: Yeah, of course.
tommy cresta: My number four is a movie, I don't wanna talk about it anymore. It's a movie that has a huge impact on my life, but it is a god -awful movie, and that is The Watchers, M. Night Shyamalan's daughter's directorial debut. Hey, she swung for the fences with this one. But the fact that I guessed a twist that was at their fairies in the first 15 minutes is a wild twist that I was able to figure out.
Ryan: Hmm.
tommy cresta: that I turned to Sam when i we went and saw, I was like, I think they're fairies. And she's like, what do you mean? I was like, trust. And then they're like, they they named like all these crazy names and like the fairy people.
tommy cresta: I was like, oh my God. And I still had like an hour left in the movie after that.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: And it was terrible.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: Terrible.
Ryan: Maybe, maybe stick to making music because she's good at that.
tommy cresta: A nice daughter?
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: Really?
Ryan: Yeah. She make that's she was in a trap. The concert that they go to and trap, that's her.
tommy cresta: Oh, really?
Ryan: Yeah. Cause she makes, yeah, she's an actual like pop star.
tommy cresta: Cool.
Ryan: Don't ask me a song. Cause you know, unfortunately I can't help you with that, but apparently she is good. So I'll give her the credit there.
tommy cresta: Don't give me apparently.
Ryan: Um, supposedly she is good.
tommy cresta: She can't be she's got be better than her dad.
Ryan: She's most likely very good. It's very talented. Um, fuck off. And then it's got some bad dude. M. Night makes a lot of shit movies now, but you can't say, dude, that run. Six cents unbreakable. And then it stopped for a little bit, but then he had like split was pretty good. I stopped a little bit, but he's got some good movies. Signs is pretty decent.
tommy cresta: Science is decent. The visit was his like comeback film.
Ryan: Yes.
tommy cresta: I'll give him that. But I don't know.
Ryan: Avatar, the last airbender.
tommy cresta: Not it.
Ryan: I remember when I saw that movie, I saw it when it came out, when I was a kid, I saw it with my dad. And I think the universe knew that it was bad because a hurricane, I was down the shore, Washington and Jersey, and a hurricane hit and we lost power in the movie theater. So we couldn't watch the movie. Like halfway through, the power just went out and I was like, all right, well, cool. um My number three is going to be a horrible movie.
Ryan: but one of my most entertaining movies of the year, and that is Madam Web. It's goddamn. I know a lot of people said this was not fun bad. I think it was amazing. I thought it was so fun bad. I loved every second of it because it was so, it was just the greatest dumpster fire I've ever seen in my life. It was so much fun to watch. It was so dogshit. The ADR is, I mean, it's kind of astounding. The acting was horrible.
Ryan: There's no redeeming qualities to this movie other than it was so bad that it I couldn't stop laughing half the time. So that's my number three, Madam Web. Fantastic movie.
tommy cresta: My number three is also Madam Web.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: And I agree with the exact same reasons you didn't like it. I didn't like it. We talked about it when we did the review. It is, but it is so unbelievably bad that it's funny.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: This is, I don't know how this movie got green lit. I don't know how it got through the editing room. I don't know how much money these actresses got paid, but it was not enough.
Ryan: No.
tommy cresta: make them suffer through this entire script. Sydney Sweeney is so underutilized in this movie.
tommy cresta: Isabella Markad is also extremely underused.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: They use the two worst actresses out of the four. And yeah, I did not like this movie, but there is some really funny bad moments in that movie.
Ryan: ah it's Such a good movie.
tommy cresta: The spider people.
Ryan: Hmm.
tommy cresta: in the Amazon. It's one of the funniest scenes when they come out of the tree.
Ryan: Oh, yeah. We got to get hammered one night and just watch that again and just see how much funnier it is.
tommy cresta: We should drink and do the entire Sony villain universe.
Ryan: Oh, that would be wonderful.
tommy cresta: Binge throw it.
Ryan: All right. My number two worst movie of the year. It's Joker two. For a lot of the same reasons, I had it as my number one disappointing. It was just fucking bad.
Ryan: It was just a straight cash grab. And, you know, they obviously they kind of set it like. Before the movie came out, it was like, all right, this is obviously a cash grab. But then you're watching the movie and you're like, oh yeah, no, this is a cash grab. Like they didn't try to hide it at all. There's really nothing to it. And I mean, there's some moments in this movie that are good. I think like when, um, what was the name? Puddles.
Ryan: comes in at the courtroom and he's like, like, that seems good when he's just fucking around with him and just being the Joker, like just being a dickhead. But then everything, everything that they do well and like have him be the Joker and he's like kind of funny, but in a terrifying way.
Ryan: And then they just ruin it by making him Arthur Fleck again and just having him lose all of his confidence.
tommy cresta: Yeah, and then the end.
Ryan: It's just constant. Yeah. The end sucks. It's bad.
Ryan: The biggest thing with that movie is that they have decent moments where they could build upon and see him like gain his confidence as the Joker. But this movie hates the first movie and it's fans so much that they, the only thing they can do is say, no, fuck you. This guy's a loser. This guy is just like you. He's just like you watching on your parents bedroom. He's a fucking loser. Fuck you. He's a bad guy and he's a coward. That's all they do constantly. And it's just, it's so infuriating because they just, they could have done something cool and fun. Instead they had to make fun of their core audience.
tommy cresta: yeah and i inel Yeah.
Ryan: which I'm not a part of. i want to be I'm not that, I'm not a freak, but I shouldn't call them freaks. I'm gonna get shot, but um I'm gonna get married.
tommy cresta: You're gonna get John Lennon. Oh.
Ryan: Yeah, but ah no, this movie was fucking bad and just horrible on the fucking, what's the director's name? I can't even think now.
tommy cresta: Todd Phillips.
Ryan: Todd Phillips, yeah. I mean, but he's an asshole, so that's my number two, how about you?
tommy cresta: Mine over two is another asshole director, and I'm talking to you. Right down that lens, Francis Ford Coppola, you fucking dick. I want to kick you in the back of your knee. I hope you stepping gum every day.
tommy cresta: I hope you turn on your shower and it's ice cold every time. I hope you have no hot water. I hope you get bed bugs. I hope you nothing but the worst. I can't stand you. You made me sit through the worst movie of the year, I believed, until the number one, which I gave it to. But this movie is so bad that Ryan didn't even score your movie. He gave it a thumbs down. There wasn't even a number.
tommy cresta: Copa, you're an asshole. No one liked this movie. And if you said you did, you're a liar. This movie is terrible. Then the only redeeming quality of this entire trash fire waste of time was that I didn't have to watch the Eagles get absolutely dog walked by the Buccaneers. And that's the only upside to this. Copa, your daughter is a better director than you. And I hope someone tells you every day. I I can't stand you.
tommy cresta: That was my number two.
Ryan: Nice. Nice. So my number one is also megalopolis.
tommy cresta: yeah
Ryan: And um I think we have different reactions. I think you hated this way more than me. I thought it was funny bad, but not as funny bad as Madame Webb. So that's why it's higher on the worst list. um But like you said.
Ryan: God damn, this movie was fucking bad.
tommy cresta: he
Ryan: Oh my God, every little bit of it, it had no idea what it wanted to be.
tommy cresta: you
Ryan: Shit does not make any sense. They just throw things in and were like, yeah, that happened. Yeah, a fucking, a satellite crashed and killed half the city. You don't realize that. There's a one line where it's like, yeah, fucking 50 ,000 people died.
Ryan: Nobody acts like it. They never bring it up again. It just happens. And it's it's so God damn bad. Look at my boner.
tommy cresta: this one though It is it is the worst scene in film history
Ryan: Oh my God. I mean, it was hilarious, but Jesus. Oh, everybody that there's not a good performance. either Like, I don't know. I mean, I don't want to say the performances were awful, but it's just it's just because of the writing. They were so bad. Like, I think Adam Driver is Aubrey Plaza is a great actress. Chai is a good actor. the um I always forget her name, but masa but um Masande from Game of Thrones.
Ryan: I always forget her name every single time.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: She's great as an actress. They all fucking suck in this movie because the writing is that bad. There's not a redeeming quality to any of these characters. They all suck. I mean, Giancarlo Esposito, again, trying his best.
Ryan: There's nothing good. He just completely switches what he wants, what he does throughout the entire movie. It's so fucking bad. It's so horribly written. And I'm so happy that he lost all of his money making this piece of shit because he's such a pretentious douchebag douchebag.
Ryan: Now that, I mean, the funniest thing about this movie is that he gave it five stars on letterbox and said, I directed it. I think I did a good job. You didn't dickhead the best, the best letterbox review.
tommy cresta: You didn't. And and remember the best trailer.
Ryan: of this movie is just a half star that says megalopolis, more like mega cockles. That's the best one that perfectly sums up this movie. So that's my number one worst movie. It was just, it was just pretentious and fucking nothing.
Ryan: There was nothing to it the entire time.
tommy cresta: I agree.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: I hope he drinks spoiled milk, too. I can't stand you, Copa.
Ryan: I hope all of his wine bottles break.
tommy cresta: I just closed the I hope so too. Cause you made a good wine company. The only good thing you - Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Ryan: Yeah. I know he sold all of it. He sold all his vineyards.
tommy cresta: And now it's gone.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: Cause you wanted to make this.
Ryan: Yep.
tommy cresta: but somehow it's still not my worst movie of the year. The worst movie of the year that I've seen is Afraid. The A .I. horror film starring John Chiu, Katherine Watterson, directed by Chris Welch. Who let the dude who directed American Pie and Twilight direct a horror movie? Because this was just a terrible decision. This film is, I mean, I think half this movie, the actors aren't in the same room when they're filming.
Ryan: Mm hmm.
tommy cresta: cause there's like you can see like around the characters they like cgied them but they all look cgied into this
tommy cresta: give up and just like, okay, I guess the AI wins. And they get in an AI car that the AI tells them to get into. And it's like, we can be a friends again. It's so terrible.
tommy cresta: I hate this movie. It was so bad. I went to an 11 o 'clock showing at night because I was so bored and I was rather have sat and watch paint dry.
Ryan: Jesus.
tommy cresta: I would have rather actually talked to Francis Ford Coppola than watch this movie.
Ryan: What
tommy cresta: But yeah, afraid was terrible.
Ryan: would you have said to him?
tommy cresta: It is. I would have said you're a pretentious dick, and I hate you. But your movie isn't as bad as this one, Coppola. But, with all that said, that is...
tommy cresta: I can officially say it's the worst movie I've ever watched from beginning to end.
Ryan: Nice.
tommy cresta: And I didn't think that would ever get passed by, um...
Ryan: nice
tommy cresta: Oh my god. Oh, The Room. I thought The Room would always be the worst thing I'd ever seen.
Ryan: which was Which one was that?
tommy cresta: Tommy, ah Tommy Wiseau.
Ryan: Oh, oh, yeah. It was worse than the room.
tommy cresta: Cause the room has funny bed in it.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: There's no redeeming funny bed moment in afraid.
Ryan: OK. I got you.
tommy cresta: It makes you want to rip your eyes balls out.
Ryan: I understand.
tommy cresta: Oh, and half the film is AI. Like they use AI to like create things.
Ryan: Really?
tommy cresta: Yeah, it's terrible.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: There's a three minute scene that I thought I was going to throw up cause it was so dizzy. Made me so dizzy. But yeah, with all that said, We're now moving on to our best movies of the year.
tommy cresta: And we'll go back and, well, no, you don't want, you want to do your honorable mentions right after, when you get down to the, right before you do your number one, cause you don't want to take away from the people who are waiting to hear that movie.
Ryan: Honorable mentions.
Ryan: Well, yeah, but the honorable mentions means they didn't even crack the top 10.
tommy cresta: That's what I'm saying. So you do like 10 through two and then you go, oh, and some honorable mentions before we get to our number one.
Ryan: Okay. All right, fine. If you want to do, all right, Mr. Watchmojo, I got you.
tommy cresta: That's what I'm saying. I feel like that's the way you're supposed to do it.
Ryan: Okay. That's fine.
tommy cresta: Do you wanna start?
Ryan: So number 10, number 10, my 10 bestest movie of the year.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: I have kingdom of the planet of the apes as a good movie.
tommy cresta: oh
Ryan: I mean, it's just, I love that trilogy so much. And this movie just, I mean, I'm not saying it was as good as those movies, but I think, I mean, as good as the second and third movie, I think I would put it above maybe um rise.
Ryan: But I mean, this was just a good movie. Like it it didn't skip a beat. It felt like it like it it really felt like a part of that universe. I felt like they, you know, the progression of how the apes would be in this world without humans and by themselves was just done really well. And the characters were good. I, I'm very excited to see where this goes in the future, especially with like how the, it ends with like the cliffhanger kind of, I mean, I just found the movie to be really good and kind of surprisingly good. Cause I thought.
Ryan: You know, in the back of my mind, I'm like, ah please don't be like a cash grab to just kind of add on to this perfect trilogy. But it really wasn't. And it I feel like it carried on the story very well in the, um, you know, all the stuff with Caesar and like how he's seen now thought that was done really well.
Ryan: So yeah, I really enjoyed this movie. I thought it was a great. Sequel and a, hopefully a good start to a great trilogy, great new trilogy.
tommy cresta: Yeah, i I did love the new one.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: It was good.
Ryan: yeah
tommy cresta: Dude, there's so many this was the hardest I think it was like my top six were set like almost the whole year I had the same six.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: But outside of that, like the seven through 10 and the three honorable mentions, that was the hardest I think it's been for me since we've been doing this.
Ryan: Hmm.
tommy cresta: There's so many movies I really enjoyed this year that I wanted. But I did eventually get my list done.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: And my number 10 is David Leach's The Fall Guy, starring Ryan Gosling and amelia Emily Blunt. amelia I absolutely adored this movie. I think I saw it four times in theaters.
tommy cresta: It was just an absolute love letter to filmmaking and to stunt work. And Ryan Gosling is just the most charismatic dude. And the scene where he's tripping balls is so funny.
tommy cresta: um Winston Duke's hilarious when he does the scene when they're fighting and he yells, uh, fuck, what's his name? Oh, Daniel Day Lewis. It has to do with the Tomahawk.
Ryan: yeah
tommy cresta: There's just so many good like callbacks, like film and all that. And the fact that they set a world record with the canon role was really cool to watch them actually do it. And, but yeah, the whole movie was just so much fun.
tommy cresta: I love Ryan Gosling. And I think this is David Leach's best movie so far. I'm excited to see him continue to improve on his films.
Ryan: Yeah. Yeah, that's fair.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: It's good number 10.
tommy cresta: I really like that movie.
Ryan: I like that.
tommy cresta: Thank you.
Ryan: My number 10. Excuse me. My number nine. I'm eating candy.
tommy cresta: Hmm.
Ryan: I've Deadpool 3 Deadpool Wolverine as my number nine Listen, I understand a lot of real film people said this movie was just another Marvel movie in a lot of ways.
tommy cresta: Hmm.
Ryan: I Don't care. I Don't disagree, but I don't fucking care because I like Wolverine a lot and I like Deadpool a lot I think the first two Deadpool movies were great It was so cool seeing ah Hugh Jackman come back and just not skip a beat with his character and um The suit was great.
Ryan: Seeing all the all the Fox characters come back, I mean, there's so many great cameos in this and so many great characters. Emma Corin did a great job as whatever her name was, I kind of forgot already.
Ryan: That was my biggest disappointment in that movie, is that she was a little bit of a disappointing villain.
tommy cresta: Uh, Jessica Nova?
Ryan: What?
tommy cresta: Jessica Nova? Cassandra Nova.
Ryan: Cassandra Nova. Yeah, she was kind of a forgettable villain. but I mean, it's a Deadpool movie. You watch it for the entertainment, and I don't think it skipped out on anything. I think it was just as good as the first two, but it brought so much more and, you know, just a great, great time of a movie, especially if you like Marvel stuff, then, you know, this movie was great.
Ryan: So, yeah, it's my number nine.
tommy cresta: Yeah, that was a good number nine.
Ryan: Mm -hmm.
tommy cresta: ah My number nine is Alex Garland's Civil War.
Ryan: My turn.
tommy cresta: One of the...
Ryan: Nine buck.
tommy cresta: Nine. i And I love this movie. I mean, what did I see? I saw 66 movies as you. It was a lot to break down, but I loved this movie.
Ryan: There's a lot.
tommy cresta: And I just want to say, which is funny now that you're questioning where I have it listed on my list, after all the shit you gave this movie for so long.
Ryan: Yeah, I thought this movie is gonna be dog shit.
tommy cresta: And it has some of the, first of all, it has some of the best military choreography sound design ever. They used to not muffle the rounds like they do in all filmmaking.
tommy cresta: It was one of the best decisions.
Ryan: yeah
tommy cresta: It just makes it so much more heart racing. I thought the cast was great. Kaley Spaney just continues to prove that she is a star and this girl can, lead these big budget films and yeah I love Alex Garland I really hope he doesn't stop directing because I know they said he wants to focus on writing but man this dude because he's directing I know he's wrote 28 years wrote 28 years later but he did direct that new war movie that's coming out right yeah
Ryan: Yeah. Yeah.
Ryan: I think he did. Yeah. I'm pretty sure.
tommy cresta: So I hope he continues directing, because I think Alex Garland's an unbelievable director. I know Men hadn't had me and you hooked for a while, and I know the ending kind of left a sour taste with him, but this movie really got rid of any sour taste I had for Alex Garland, and Kirsten Dunst is fucking awesome.
Ryan: Yeah.
Ryan: yeah
tommy cresta: But yeah, I love this movie, and yeah, it's my number nine.
Ryan: Cool.
Ryan: Cool. My number eight is going to be dune two.
tommy cresta: wow
Ryan: Yeah, I know. I know. Listen, I want to be clear. If this was a very objective list, this would probably be higher. But as you know, I didn't love it as much as most people.
Ryan: So this is my list. Shut the fuck up. It's at number eight. um I mean. There's nothing I can really say as to why it's at number eight. It should be like top three, but this is my list again. So fuck you. I didn't love it as much as a lot of other people. And it's, it's one of those things. It's like, I can't really put it into words. It just wasn't as much for me. I just didn't love it as much as the first one, a lot, as much as a lot of other movies on my list. So yeah.
Ryan: It's a phenomenal movie. There's nothing bad I can really say about it, but number eight, sorry.
tommy cresta: I have nothing wrong with it being number 8. I was kind of nervous you weren't going to put it on your top 10.
Ryan: Yeah.
Ryan: I was, I almost as a joke had it as like number three honorable mention, but it, it had to be on the list.
tommy cresta: Just for the memes.
Ryan: Like realistically,
tommy cresta: No, I don't mind that being number 8. I'm having major top 10.
Ryan: somebody's going to scream at me.
tommy cresta: Yeah, someone is, but...
Ryan: Making fun of Joker fans due into at number eight.
tommy cresta: on On the day that everyone found out the need didn't get nominated for another Oscar. um My number eight is another 824 project. So 824 is two of my top of the three movies so far. And that is heretic starring Hugh Grant and Sophie Thatcher. This movie was so good. And it definitely I don't say trails off because it definitely would have been in my top three if maybe it was 10 minutes shorter.
tommy cresta: But it's still, even with that said, Hugh Grant gives one of my favorite performances of the year. Him as Mr. Reed, Connor Callback quoted it, I mean, perfectly. You wanna sit and have a cup of tea with him while you have a gun aimed at him.
tommy cresta: He's just, he's so nice and you wanna just hang out with him, but there's something just off. Like he says little lines, like he invites him inside, but as they're walking through the door, he makes the comments like, he's like, I have metal on my walls.
tommy cresta: And then they just keep walking. Like, what? Like, why would you say that?
Ryan: Yeah. Yeah.
tommy cresta: And he's just, I mean, he was perfect. I loved this movie and I've, I really want to watch it again, but it also has one of my top three scenes of the entire year in it.
tommy cresta: He does this five minute monologue in his chef's kiss.
Ryan: Okay.
Ryan: Yeah, that's, that's one that I kind of missed out on this year.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: I never went and saw that.
tommy cresta: Oh, and we got to tell everyone, we didn't get to see the brutalists cause I got really sick. We were supposed to see it.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: So that, yeah.
Ryan: And I also woke up but sick that day.
tommy cresta: So. we
Ryan: My sickness went away rather quickly, but I was very sick to start the morning and I didn't want to go to the movies and sit there for four hours. So we didn't go.
tommy cresta: Hey, no judgment here.
Ryan: We will see it eventually. have to see it eventually.
tommy cresta: Oh, I do want to say it.
Ryan: It's monumental.
Ryan: Especially with ah what you saw what Brady Courbet said, Courbet said to do during the intermission, smoke some cigarettes and fuck.
tommy cresta: Oh, smoke some cigarettes, baby.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: ah
Ryan: ah We will not be doing that ourselves, but if you would like to bring a significant other and do that, that's, you know, I'm not going to judge.
tommy cresta: I know, there's no smoking.
Ryan: So number seven is monkey man, a movie that I low key, low key forgot about until you sent me you know our list.
tommy cresta: Wow!
Ryan: But just thinking about that movie again, it was so much fun. Like it's, it's just a perfect like action kind of thriller. It was just such a fun movie and death Patel with his first directing bid.
Ryan: It just did great. Like I really didn't have many complaints from this movie, at least none that I can remember. Um, I think we said something like it should have been a little shorter, if I remember right.
tommy cresta: Yeah, it definitely, it definitely drags in that second act.
Ryan: I think we may have said that.
Ryan: Yeah, just just a little bit. But the like the first and third acts and the action scenes are fucking awesome. It's just so much fun to watch. And, um you know, that Patel's character.
Ryan: I'm getting his name. It's Patel, right?
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: Yeah, I thought so. Um, he was fucking great. And the fact that he directed it and was first time directing, it was really, really great for that. Um, so yeah, I really enjoyed this movie and it's a movie again.
Ryan: And I kind of forgot about until I saw it on the list and I was like, I can't not put that on there. It was such a fun movie. She's so good. So yeah, that's my number seven monkey man.
Ryan: Highly recommend it.
tommy cresta: I think this is the most different our list I've ever been.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: We haven't had a single overlap yet.
Ryan: Yeah. Cause you saw a lot of movies without me this year.
tommy cresta: Hey, I went to the movies a lot.
Ryan: You left me out a lot.
tommy cresta: Hey, you were down the shore end for a lot of the summer too.
Ryan: Yeah, I was.
tommy cresta: I don't want to get blamed for that half.
Ryan: I was. Yeah.
tommy cresta: And then, um. Yeah, my number seven, this movie I didn't even see in theaters. I just watched this. um My number seven is Saturday Night. This movie was so funny. It is so well done. It is just the craziest hour and 45 minute movie, whatever. It feels so short, but it is great. It is so heart pounding. Like you just want everything to work out for these guys because it's about the first episode of Saturday Night Live.
tommy cresta: um don't know Brian is Dan Aykroyd and oh my god Michael something Smith he plays the Riddler in Gotham he played Chevy Chase he was perfect he was absolutely hilarious those two were great I loved all the young it was like all the younger like people of Hollywood were in this movie and they were all playing like a
Ryan: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ryan: Yeah, I saw it was like Finn Wilfard, um, Gay Nolfini.
tommy cresta: The kid from ah No Hard Feelings was in it.
Ryan: No hard feelings.
tommy cresta: the one Jennifer Lawrence.
Ryan: Oh, yeah, yeah, Yeah.
tommy cresta: He was in it. He was like a main part of the movie.
Ryan: Hmm.
tommy cresta: I mean, it was just great. JK Simmons is hilarious. He's just a little dick. William is also great in this movie is super well written and it has the final five minutes are awesome.
tommy cresta: It's just another love letter to that to that whole franchise of Saturday Night Live. And I really enjoyed it and I really want to watch it again. Yeah, number seven Saturday night.
Ryan: Cool. All right. So my number six is going to be Nosferatu, which it seems like it didn't make your list.
tommy cresta: It did not.
Ryan: It didn't even make your most disappointing list, which is surprising.
tommy cresta: Cause when I rethought out, but so far none of the movies you've said have made my list.
Ryan: Yeah, that's.
tommy cresta: I don't think so. Oh no, one of them did.
Ryan: Well, ah yeah, one of them must have.
tommy cresta: One of one them made my list.
Ryan: Um, yeah, but Nosferatu, I thought, I definitely liked it more than you, especially when we came out of the theater and you gave it, you gave it like a 60 something out of the theater. That was ridiculous.
tommy cresta: Hey, we changed. We we had a change of heart. We're just, we're a little disappointed.
Ryan: Yes.
Ryan: um I still think that the story is just kind of a little bit weak to begin with.
tommy cresta: I was wrong.
Ryan: Like I just I just think it's kind of, you know, somewhat boring story, and they tried to make it a little cooler and you know add more shit to it, which I think worked in a lot of respects and didn't work in some respects, but The acting and the directing and the set, it just all the production of this movie is what carries it through and through.
Ryan: Everybody's given a phenomenal performance. Lily Rose Depp, who I was nervous about, did a great job. Nicholas Holt was great. Um, obviously fucking, um, oh my God.
tommy cresta: bill ah gun I until ah he came out and explained why he did it.
Ryan: Skarsgard. Yeah. Bill Skarsgard was phenomenal. And I don't, I don't mind the makeup or the, I don't mind the look of Nosferatu at all. I know you hated it, but the mustache and the hair.
Ryan: Yeah, it actually looks like a person and not a fucking alien.
tommy cresta: That made more sense. Yeah.
Ryan: like It didn't look like he came out of a fucking wormhole. He looks like a real dude.
tommy cresta: That movie's so scary. I don't care what anyone says.
Ryan: Um, but yeah, this movie was just from a production standpoint, from like a, you know, an artistic standpoint. It was phenomenal. It was so well done in so many respects. So I had to put it on there at a number six, because I didn't love it. I didn't, ah my biggest gripe with the movie is just the story, but I can't hold that against, um, what's his name. I'm forgetting every name today.
tommy cresta: ah Robert Eggers?
Ryan: Yeah, Eggers, because, you know, he adapted the story that I kind of found already kind of boring. So I can't hold that against him at all. But yeah, good movie. Number six.
tommy cresta: I like that choice. my ah My number six is another horror movie owned by Neon. And this is Long Legs, a movie that I mean. I was super excited from from the time it got announced to the first trailer to those cryptic.
tommy cresta: I remember we did it on the podcast. I remember like the posters came out and they all had like one word, like a one sentence explanation.
Ryan: yeah Yeah.
tommy cresta: All of that just had me super excited to watch the movie. And then I love Mika Monroe. I loved um Oscar Perkins was fantastic directing.
tommy cresta: I'm super excited to see the monkey, which is complete opposite side of the spectrum.
Ryan: Oh yeah, dude. That movie looks like so much fun.
tommy cresta: but That movie is going to be a blast. And I think Nicholas Cage is just so weird in this movie and so made me so uncomfortable. And getting to see us the opening night with my mom and just watching her morph a metal popcorn bucket, because of how scared she was of this movie.
tommy cresta: It was just, it was a lot of fun. And I, I mean, I love that every time when saw it, I found another one of the demons in the background, because there's just so many of them.
Ryan: Yeah. Yeah.
tommy cresta: But yeah, I i really loved Long Lakes.
Ryan: All right. Real quick. Are we recording?
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: OK, I can't I guess I just can't see the time. Sorry to break the break the flow there for a bit.
tommy cresta: Oh.
Ryan: But I was like, there's no fucking way that we've been talking for like 45 minutes.
tommy cresta: There you go. No, we. We are at 39 minutes and 42 seconds.
Ryan: Okay, good. I just couldn't see the time and it scared me for a second.
tommy cresta: Yeah, no, we're good.
Ryan: But number five, long legs.
tommy cresta: Oh, there we go.
Ryan: Thought it was good. Yeah, it was pretty good.
tommy cresta: ah
Ryan: um Like you said, everybody was great. Mickey Monroe, great fucking Nicholas Cage. So fun.
Ryan: Osgood Perkins did a great job. Like you said, I'm super excited for the monkey. That just looks like so much fun. um But ah yeah, I think you kinda did pretty well explaining it.
Ryan: It's just a good movie. Trying to like see the devil in the background of so many scenes and just like, you finally catch it and you're like, oh fuck, that was creepy as hell. It was good. and It was like the first horror movie I ever saw by myself in a theater.
tommy cresta: Yeah, because we didn't see it together.
Ryan: Yeah, and I watched it and there was just a guy, it was was like me and like two dudes sitting separately in front of me. And I was in that row, like the back row and then there's like,
Ryan: two seats like kind of in the back against the wall you know what I'm talking about dude there was just one guy behind me sitting in a corner and every once in a while he would just get up and leave for like five minutes and then come back like just he did it like five times I was like this dude is going to kill me like this guy because you had told me the story of how they found an actual serial killer watching the movie I'm like fuck dude I'm gonna get stabbed in this goddamn movie
tommy cresta: Yeah.
tommy cresta: Yeah, they found the dude in the theater.
Ryan: As soon as it ended, I stood up and he wasn't there and I just booked it out of there. I didn't wait for anything.
Ryan: Yeah, but a good movie. That was my, what's your number five?
tommy cresta: Yeah. ah My number five, very different from Long Legs, is Inside Out 2, which I loved. I mean, I loved this movie. Had me tearing up at the end.
tommy cresta: It was ah did a great job. Everyone who's grown up and went through puberty and went through seasonal depression or anything that knows these feelings of this movie and has been through these very similar experiences. If you traveled with a baseball ah any sports team or anything like that, you know this exact story. And I don't know, if it hit very close to home with me, I really enjoyed it. I think it did everything that the first one did, but better. And I really loved the first one. So this was the...
tommy cresta: um This is the first animated movie I think that's made my list ever when we've done this. I remember the Boy and the Herring got honorable mention, but...
Ryan: Yeah, I think so. Uh, did spiderman get on there last year?
tommy cresta: Mm -mm.
Ryan: No.
tommy cresta: No.
Ryan: All right. Fair enough.
tommy cresta: Uh, it might've.
Ryan: It might. I know it was on my list, but I don't know.
tommy cresta: Maybe. Yeah, I know the Boy and the Herring just missed it last year, which I did love.
Ryan: Yeah. Yeah.
tommy cresta: But yeah, inside out too.
Ryan: And shout out Riley. We are hockey guys now.
tommy cresta: Wait, don't say we are now hockey.
Ryan: I am now, I am now a hockey guy. Go flyers, hook the devils.
tommy cresta: I am a huge hockey fan.
Ryan: You're a hockey guy, i am a I am now a hockey guy.
tommy cresta: New coming hockey guy.
Ryan: But you can't call me a bandwagon because the Flyers are dog shit right now.
tommy cresta: Whoa, whoa, flies on a six game winning streak right now.
Ryan: All right, the Flyers are decent.
tommy cresta: They're on it. They're on a tear.
Ryan: at At this exact moment, the Flyers are amazing. But season -wise, the Flyers are mid as shit, dude.
tommy cresta: At this. exactly We are there two points out of a playoff spot.
Ryan: Yeah, rebuild here.
tommy cresta: Hey, Qatar, got the change the entire seasons.
Ryan: Sorry.
tommy cresta: It's been since he came to Philly.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: They've been red hot.
Ryan: Oh, yeah.
tommy cresta: But yeah, big hockey guy.
Ryan: Fuck cutter.
tommy cresta: Yeah, fuck Qatar, got the.
Ryan: Yeah, I am now a big hockey guy, too.
tommy cresta: oh
Ryan: So ah Riley.
tommy cresta: What is your number four? I know you're gonna hate my number four.
Ryan: My number, I'm i'm probably.
tommy cresta: You're gonna hate my number four, you're gonna hate my number two.
Ryan: OK, my number four is Civil War. So I have that in number four.
tommy cresta: Wow, that felt that fell from one to four?
Ryan: Saw some good movies, dude.
tommy cresta: I mean, it was your number one movie for a while.
Ryan: It was, because you know there wasn't a ton. But then you know I watched some of the ones that I was like, no, I'll catch up on that later. And they ended up being amazing. So Civil War, you talked about it earlier.
Ryan: Alex Carlin is a great director. And with like the gunshots and stuff, I'm not military, but you said it. And I feel like a lot of people said it. It's very realistic in how they talk and how they act.
Ryan: It's just good. and it's you know I felt that it did kind of stay. like it It wasn't super political, you know what i mean which was good. That was kind of a worry that I had, was that I'm going to be watching it. like No matter what side they chose, I'm like, jeez, shut the fuck up. Stop preaching. But it really didn't feel like that to me.
Ryan: so Just a good, fun, solid movie. I don't know if fun's the right word, but just a solid movie.
tommy cresta: It was definitely, I get it, it was fun.
Ryan: There's a lot of fun parts, but then there's a lot of like, fuck.
tommy cresta: Really fucked up scenes.
Ryan: Yeah. Yeah. So, uh, good movie. Highly recommend it. I love the ending too.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: So yeah, good movie. What's your number four?
tommy cresta: My number four is Wicked. I loved Wicked. And I liked it every time more ah every time I saw it, I liked it more and more. And Wicked just got nominated for the second most Oscars, because somehow, in some fucking wild way, Amelia Prez got 13 Academy Award nominations.
tommy cresta: Wicked got 10, so. But I'm gonna stand up with my thoughts on all.
Ryan: Just hiding while you say that, but it's fine.
tommy cresta: Amelia Press has nothing to do with the story of it is a poorly made movie is why I think the way I think about I don't think the director just did a poor job making the project and the studio everything around it Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez tried their best ah Wicked on the other hand great production design the fact that all that is really there they built the real train they planted millions of flowers they built these places it's just
Ryan: Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
tommy cresta: great production and are on a grande and Cynthia Ervo to sing live which only that in tick tick boom the only movies to do it in the last five years which is a such a huge thing to do and I don't know I just absolutely loved every aspects movie I like the music I like musicals so it's not for I guess it's not for everyone and this movie just I think it was a very good interpretation of the story and I'm excited for part two yeah so wicked
Ryan: Yeah. I got you. I'm not a huge musical guy, so that's not why it's on there.
tommy cresta: I know what.
Ryan: But i don't know that didn't make me mad. i didn't I didn't hate Wicked. It's just not my thing.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: You know what I'm saying? Um, my number three might surprise you. That's my number three to Nora. Yeah. Yeah.
Ryan: It's a very good movie. One of the ones that I was like, I'll catch up on it later. It's not really grabbing me.
tommy cresta: And it was just so fucking good.
Ryan: And it was just like, this is the best movie fucking of the year.
tommy cresta: yeah
Ryan: I'm like, all right, I should probably watch this. um And it was it was it was phenomenal. um Usually those types of like kind of sexy movies wouldn't grab me. It's just not my thing.
Ryan: But this was very much not that in a lot of ways. Obviously, in a lot of ways, it was.
tommy cresta: Like, it's very sex -driven, but it's not a sexy move.
Ryan: But
tommy cresta: Like, it doesn't...
Ryan: Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: It's not a romance movie. It's yeah. So it was a, it was very good.
tommy cresta: Mm -mm.
Ryan: Um, I really, really liked it. And I got to catch up on some Sean Baker now. Cause I haven't seen like Florida project or red rocket or any of that.
tommy cresta: Wait, you haven't seen any of those?
Ryan: So I don't think I've seen any of his movies.
tommy cresta: Dude, Flarger Project is unbelievable.
Ryan: Yeah. Yeah.
tommy cresta: And it's filmed all on the phone.
Ryan: So I, I, yeah, I really got to catch up on that. So, um, uh, Nora was great. The acting was great. Mickey Madsen or Mikey Madsen did great. Um,
tommy cresta: You're up.
Ryan: I mean, yeah, Yuri or yora whatever, Borisov, fucking, you just said he got nominated for, I assume i assume supporting.
tommy cresta: Yeah, you got nominated. Yep.
Ryan: um I, what a fucking guy. I mean, talk about characters. That is one of the best characters I've ever seen. What a nice dude. Oh, and the end of that movie just made me like, it's a sad ending, but it made me happy.
tommy cresta: But it's the best ending that you needed.
Ryan: Yeah. It's the best ending possible. Cause you get the ego or just like being eager or just being the man. And, uh, any kind of finally, you know, it catches up to her a little bit.
Ryan: So. The ending was great, the whole movie was great, the acting was great, when she finally unloads on the parents. Oh, it felt so good.
tommy cresta: yeah
Ryan: The dad just starts cracking up. Yeah, no, I mean, it was really, really good. And everything kind of felt real. Like it's obviously a very outlandish story that she finds this fucking super wealthy kid and and you know all that.
Ryan: It's a crazy story. But then when you actually see the characters, everything feels real. Like they they don't feel super cartoonish. It doesn't feel like, oh, these you know kind of mobster guys.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: They weren't mobster guys. But you know what I mean?
tommy cresta: Uh huh.
Ryan: It doesn't feel like that. they They all feel like real people. And then the parents come. And they feel real as as much of assholes as the mom was. as It feels like she's a real person. So yeah, really good movie.
Ryan: I really liked it.
tommy cresta: Yeah, my number three is also in Nora.
Ryan: Oh, okay.
tommy cresta: ah Ryan said it pretty well. This movie was just a movie that i I mean, I wanted to see it from the first trailer because the first trailer that I saw was during it was during long legs. The first I think the first week of which cuts neon as well.
Ryan: Yeah. yeah
tommy cresta: And I mean, that first trailer it's super short and it just shows like some like quick ah b -roll but then it shows uh it's the scene where she's like did you get the milk she's like do you see any fucking milk and i was like oh i was like i'm so down for this movie like just that simple short scene and i was i was already invested and i mean sean baker is one of the best directors now like he this dude's gonna have I think Red Rocket was not nominated for Best Picture, but Flutter Project was, and this is.
tommy cresta: So he's two for three in Best Picture nomination on three films, which is absolutely unbelievable. And they're all great.
Ryan: yeah
tommy cresta: And the way he writes characters and every story is so different. Flutter Project's about a run down motel. Red Rock's about a failed porn star. This one's about a stripper falling in love, quote unquote, falling in love.
tommy cresta: um with a Russian mobster guy. it They're all wild stories. And the fact that he makes them feel so real is so unbelievable. So yeah, I love the Nora.
tommy cresta: And I'm excited to see what Mikey Madison does next because it's a real shame that she's not going to win the Oscar because she's just too young.
Ryan: Mm hmm. Yeah.
tommy cresta: But I love Mikey Madison as much as me as we were to her after Scream 5, where we just referred her as a bitch.
Ryan: Yeah, as bitchface.
tommy cresta: She is unbelievable in this movie.
Ryan: Yeah.
Ryan: Yeah, no, she was she was really great.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: The accent, too, is hilarious.
tommy cresta: I'm shocked.
Ryan: I love the the interview.
tommy cresta: It's no funny.
Ryan: I've seen that like interview clip because it was just the ad for the movie for a while of them talking about like how she got the accent, just hanging out with like Brooklyn girls.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: She's like, yeah, they fucking make her crazy. She's funny. um My number two is going to be kneecap. It's the Irish movie.
tommy cresta: Okay, that's that's the Irish one.
Ryan: it's That's the one. Yeah, that's where it is. um Another movie that I was like, I had heard about, and I remember seeing the trailers and I really wanted to see it in theaters, but it was it was such a limited release in the States.
Ryan: So it was only playing, I was down the shore and it was only playing at a theater. It was only it it had like two showings at a theater that was like 30 miles away. And I was like, well, not gonna waste my time on that.
Ryan: um But I was super excited for it. And then you know I didn't get a chance to see it and I didn't want to drive that far. So I just kind of waited. And then fucking two weeks ago, I was ah just saw that it was on Netflix and I was like, oh shit, I could watch that right now at 11 o 'clock at night. And I didn't get tired a single second. It was so much fun all the way through. Such a fun movie. The music.
Ryan: You can't understand half of it because it's in Gaelic, but it's still fun. It's still fun to watch. I mean, half the movies in Gaelic, but it was just a, it was a really great time and it kind of teaches you a lot about Irish history, um, North of Ireland ish history. And, uh, yeah, I just thought it was a really fun movie that, you know, it it was super cool seeing that they were the actual guys too. Cause I didn't know that even from the trailer, I i had no idea that that was the actual crew who was acting.
Ryan: And they all did a phenomenal job the writing the acting. It was great. Um, so yeah, that's my second favorite movie of the year. It was very fun.
tommy cresta: Hmm Yeah,
Ryan: Recommend it to anybody. Cause it's just, it's not that long. It's like an hour 45. It's on Netflix. It's just a fun drug music movie. It's a good time. It's probably better than better man too.
Ryan: If I had to take a wild guess.
tommy cresta: I do want to see better man because it is getting unbelievable reviews. It's just It's like a it's like a 90 I Think it is
Ryan: Not unbelievable. It's getting like, yeah, it's fine.
Ryan: For a music movie, a 90 is kind of, you know, they all get 90.
tommy cresta: You need that tick tick boom numbers.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: um My number two before we get into our honorable mentions is Alien Romulus. I said from when this movie came out to now I adored this movie.
tommy cresta: I am one of the biggest fans of this franchise. I think Fedi Alvarez stepped into shoes that most people did not think he could fill, especially with Ridley Scott making the first one, James Cameron doing two of the best movies of the 70s and the 80s of the 20th century. And then this guy comes out and makes the best alien movie since those first two that came out all those years ago and did it with practical filmmaking. The ability to do the face huggers as
tommy cresta: without CGI for the first time in so long was unbelievable. And the fact that when they announced the movie at Comic -Con, they released the Face Hikers into the crowd, just so much around this movie would look so cool. All the actors talking about how scary it was seeing real xenomorphs just popping out from places and all those kinds of things. And my one downside of this entire movie is it doesn't have that iconic shot that each movie has. but There's like snippets of shots, but they never get like that one I wish there was one shot, like like a money shot.
Ryan: Like a money shot, like a real deal of money shot.
tommy cresta: There's no like money shot in this movie. There's a couple quick shots that could be money shots, but the scene with the facehuggers in the water is one of the most
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: fear -inducing things that I could think of until the offspring thing happens and I have never felt this fear that ran down my spine the first time I saw that thing mountain just staring at the camera.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: What the fuck? And the fact that that was practical too was unbelievable. I love Alien.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: Fedi Alvarez, this dude deserves all of his flowers for that movie and I can't wait to see what Ridley Scott does in his Alien movie coming out, Alien Earth, the TV show, and the sequel to this movie.
Ryan: Mm -hmm.
Ryan: Mm -hmm. I feel like Alien Earth is not gonna...
tommy cresta: It's the guy did Fargo the dudes never made a bad season on television I'm gonna hold out That is true did that be so far I hope I think we do like how we did the disappointing just say all three why we put them there and
Ryan: I don't know.
Ryan: Well, yeah, but he's never made a fucking alien movie, an alien show. He made Fargo. You want alien Fargo? It would be funny, but it'd be so stupid. um All right, so honorable mentions. Are we doing one by one honorable mentions or just ripping through all three?
Ryan: All right, so honorable mentions. Number three, I have Furiosa, a Mad Max saga or story, whatever it was.
tommy cresta: Mm.
tommy cresta: Snog I think.
Ryan: Um, the movie was really good, but I feel like the use of CGI, it wasn't bad.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: It was implemented pretty well in most parts, but there were a couple of scenes, like it just didn't have the same punch as Fury Road because you know, Fury Road is one of the best action movies ever made now. Um, and Furiosa just didn't have that.
Ryan: I think Anya Taylor Joy did a great job, but, uh, Did you just notice him?
tommy cresta: i Just noticed that that's Rex.
Ryan: He's been there the whole time.
tommy cresta: I didn't know what that was the whole time and then finally like my eyes like focus on it I Still really loved it.
Ryan: Yeah. ah um But yeah, no, it's it was a really good movie. It was a really fun movie, but it just I didn't like it enough to crack my top 10, which was kind of disappointing because everybody was saying it was almost as good as the first one or you know close to it.
tommy cresta: I just
Ryan: Yeah. Yeah, I still did really like it, but it's not that good. it's not Fury Road. Good. Um, number two, I have gladiator to another good movie. It, I mean, doesn't hold a candle to the first one, but another good movie with really great acting. I think this one could have made my list. Definitely. I think, you know, it really could have. Um, but it just kind of kept it off there. Cause I remember we left and I gave it like a relatively high score and then like,
Ryan: It was one of those movies. The more I thought about it, the more I was like, man, it was, it was fine. It was all right. And it just kind of kept going down. And, uh, yeah. So that's, I think why I kept it off, but another good movie, good kind of legacy sequel.
Ryan: And I think the third one should be pretty cool.
tommy cresta: Interesting Yeah, they just didn't they had water I I could agree with the water.
Ryan: It should be pretty cool. I hope so. Um, they definitely never had sharks in the Coliseum. I don't know why. Yeah. Water's fine, but the sharks are, I don't know why people were defending that, including you Dickhead. Um,
tommy cresta: Why am I being thrown with the sharks?
Ryan: yeah, no, the water's fine. They probably did flood it, but the sharks, they didn't have like giant tanks to carry them.
tommy cresta: They have glass continue
Ryan: Yeah. They didn't have that. Um, number one. honorable mention is Alien Romulus another movie that like if this was objective it could have been like six or seven on my list if not maybe a little higher but yes like this movie is better than Deadpool 3 I'm not I'm not that much of an asshole like I know it is but this is my list so fuck you again um yeah no Alien Romulus was great it was really really good but
tommy cresta: Okay, major.
tommy cresta: Oh, like if you're saying it's just quality. Yeah.
Ryan: Um, yeah, just didn't, I didn't put it on my list. Sorry. Sue me. It's very good.
tommy cresta: I'm happy mate, I thought it wasn't gonna make any of your stuff.
Ryan: No, no, no, of course it did. But yeah.
tommy cresta: My honorable mentions, two of the three are horror movies.
Ryan: Hmm.
tommy cresta: one of the one The one was on my list until literally this morning at 10 o 'clock when I realized I forgot about Inora.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: was lay on my list. ah the first one ah The first two were not on my list ever. They were just always right on the outside. First one is A24's We Live in Time with Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield.
tommy cresta: I'm in complete agreement with most most people on this movie, a lot of film critics. If this movie doesn't star Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh who give great performances, this movie's like a 60.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: Because it's just a generic love story. that of course is gonna have a really sad ending. But Andrew Garfield in Flower's Peace Chemistry was perfect. I mean, they they even in their interviews, they feel like they they feel like love yeah like that they're in love. And I just love the movie. I legitimately cried the last 15 minutes nonstop. My mom had to reach over and be like, are you okay? I just could not stop crying. ah Stuff with like cancer and stuff kills me. But
tommy cresta: I loved this movie. I was so excited from the time they announced it. Ryan was a cynic against this movie from the first trailer. But then Ryan went solid, which is one of the craziest surprises ever.
Ryan: I saw it. I saw it by myself in a completely empty theater and I felt nothing. So, you know, the movie was okay. It was, is you know, like you said, if it wasn't those two, it would not be great.
Ryan: It's very, it's pretty generic, but it was good.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: I didn't cry because, you know, I'm like growing up, but um yeah, it it was fine. It was fine. It was weird seeing that movie alone though. Like nobody in the theater, dude, it was, it was very odd.
tommy cresta: I had a pack theater for mine, which made it so much more embarrassing that I couldn't stop crying.
Ryan: Yeah, that's surprising. Yeah.
tommy cresta: It was just women and me. I was the only dude in the entire theater.
Ryan: Yeah, no, I believe that. Yeah. No, I almost left that movie too. Like the first, like before it really like picks up and they start like, you know, before it really picks up when they're just like chatting and like starting to date, I was like, why the fuck did I do this to myself?
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: I hate this.
tommy cresta: The birthing scene is one of my favorite scenes. It was so just wild.
Ryan: That was great. Yeah, it was hilarious.
tommy cresta: But ah my number two for Arnold Mentions is The Substance, which I finally watched, a movie that I wanted to see so many times in theaters, but two hour and 40 minute horror movie really, really put me off. Just because i I'm a huge person and on the side of horror movies should never be more than two hours and never shorter than an hour and a half. There's that great spot in the middle. But this movie was hilarious. Like out loud laughing throughout.
tommy cresta: It is disgusting.
Ryan: Oh really? Look at you saying, how could this be a comedy for like months? There's no way.
tommy cresta: I know, I said it to Sam.
Ryan: It's a horror it's a body horror. How can it be funny?
tommy cresta: I was like, I have to apologize to everyone when I talk about this movie.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: Dude, it was so good. And Demi Moore was awesome. Margaret Qualley continues to just do these in smaller movies that sadly and people don't go and see, but she is so good in this.
tommy cresta: Dennis Quaid. is the best stereotype of like a Hollywood old white guy. He is so homophobic.
Ryan: Mm -hmm.
tommy cresta: He's so racist, so sexist. And it was so I mean, Sam was cracking up.
Ryan: Man, I really gotta watch this movie now.
tommy cresta: But it was it was really good in the final 10, 15 minutes are so ah over the top that it like it doesn't even take itself seriously. The one character is like superpowers. It's why I don't even know how to explain it.
Ryan: Okay.
tommy cresta: But the substance was a really good time. I really want to see more of her films. but yeah, substance was a good watch. And then the movie that held a spot on my list all year up until the end is The First Omen, a movie that is one of the best -made movies of the year. If I was doing this fully off of how Ryan says it, if I was doing it like critically, this would have been top seven for me. But I ended up doing it of what I liked more and what I found more enjoyable. And yeah, The First Omen just missed. It has one of the scariest scenes I've ever seen. It's right up there with the bedroom scene from Skin of Meringue, but yeah.
tommy cresta: i am I really liked the first omen. I was kind of sad to make my list.
Ryan: Nice. Immaculate didn't make your list.
tommy cresta: That's the funniest thing. I saw those five days apart and they're the exact same stories.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: The first omen is just an A plus and the macula is a D plus.
Ryan: yeah Okay.
tommy cresta: I not like the macula.
Ryan: All right. So there's the honorable mentions. Now's the big moment.
tommy cresta: Yeah, um I have no idea what your favorite movie is.
Ryan: I think you just didn't remember this movie or didn't know about it, but it's a real pain.
tommy cresta: Oh, I never saw it. I never got around to it.
Ryan: Dude, it's the last one that I watched. It's it's the last movie I watched. I watched it like two days ago.
tommy cresta: Damn.
Ryan: It was fucking great. Because they just put it on Hulu. I really wanted to watch it, but it was like 20 bucks to rent it. You had to buy it. You couldn't rent it everywhere.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: But they finally put it on Hulu like two days ago. And I was like, all right, fuck yeah, I'll watch it. And it was phenomenal. it's just It's such a simple story that's just fully carried by the by the characters and the actors.
Ryan: kieran colkin You said he got nominated. That man really, really might win because Benji is one of my favorite characters of the year. I used i think he's like right behind Igor for me. um Just such a of really, really complicated character. He's such like, I mean, there's there's a monologue that it's like a minute long that Jesse Eisenberg has where he just explains because the the whole movie is just their cousins who the grandmother dies and they go to Poland to see, you know, where they come from and then like where she came from.
Ryan: That's the whole movie. Very simple. It's like an hour 45. That's it. It might be, it might be like an hour 35. Um, so they do that, but Benji is just such a complicated character.
Ryan: Um, Jesse Eisenberg, I forget his character's name, but he's, he's much more like straight shooter job just living in New York. He's got wife and kid, all that kind of dorky.
tommy cresta: Thank you.
Ryan: And then Karen Culkin is just the wild child living it with his parents smoking weed the whole time and just seeing them. because they're cousins and they still love each other, but they hate each other because they're so different at the same time.
Ryan: It's just the relationship between those is the entire movie. And it's done so well because both of those dudes are acting their fucking asses off. And it just, it works so well. I was completely, you know, hooked from the very beginning.
Ryan: So yeah, good movie.
tommy cresta: Jesse Eisenberg. Shout out.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: It's his director or a debut, isn't it?
Ryan: Yeah, I think so.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: And I think he directed Didn't he to direct that like World War II movie?
tommy cresta: Jesse Eisenberg?
Ryan: There was one where he was, I think, it wasn't like a war movie. I think he was, or maybe, I don't remember.
tommy cresta: Ah.
Ryan: Let me see.
Ryan: Jesse Eisenberg directed movies. All right, no, he's directed, but he did direct When You Finish Saving the World from 22. Who was that?
Ryan: Finn Wolfhard, Julianne Moore. I don't remember that for a second, but
tommy cresta: um I don't remember that at all. Finn Wolfhard is having his directorial debut.
Ryan: Is he?
tommy cresta: Yeah, it's like a horror movie.
Ryan: Nice. Apparently Jesse Eisenberg also directed Becoming a Werewolf. It's a short film. I don't i think I'm going to keep that off my list. um Yeah.
tommy cresta: Oh, we never saw Sasquatch Sunrise.
Ryan: Yeah. Sasquatch Sunset, Thomas.
tommy cresta: So, whatever.
Ryan: Yeah. You were close.
tommy cresta: I'm talking about the prequel that comes out next year.
Ryan: Yeah. No, that was a movie I did really want to watch, but didn't get around to it.
tommy cresta: Yeah, fuck.
Ryan: Um, yeah, I'm sure it was fun. i I don't think it would have made my list. I think it's just people in monkey costumes walking around banging on trees.
tommy cresta: With giant genitalia prosthetics.
Ryan: Yeah. Fuck. Yeah.
tommy cresta: um My number one movie of the year, if you haven't guessed, it's been my number one movie since the day I walked from the start of the movie to now. ah It's Doom part two. I think this is one of the greatest science fiction movies ever made. I think Denis Villeneuve solidified himself as the best director working right now. He's right up there with Christopher Nolan for me. He's my favorite director by leaps and bounds.
tommy cresta: And Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides is a perfect casting to me. That speech he gives in front of all those people is, I could run through a fucking wall for Paul Atreides. And ah find the score, not when he's fighting Faderotha, the score from when he beats Fade, he gets the surrender and they all start flying up for the war.
Ryan: get to murder billions of people.
tommy cresta: It is one of the greatest, I don't care what they're gonna do. I'm on Paul Trady's side the whole time. It is one of the greatest scores ever. It's called Kiss of the Ring. If you haven't heard it, go listen to it. It is absolutely perfect. Rebecca Ferguson's unbelievable. I can't wait to see more Christopher Walken, more Florence Pugh. I can't wait for everyone to see Doom Messiah. It's going to be unbelievable. And the fact that you're also gonna get the same time as the Odyssey, Christopher Nolan's Odyssey, which Jon Bernthal just joined the cast of, what the fuck?
Ryan: All right.
tommy cresta: That, yeah.
Ryan: He's probably playing the Cyclops.
tommy cresta: That movie is going to be unbelievable and so is Doom Messiah and yeah, I think Doom, Doom Part 2 is just the scene of them floating up at the beginning.
Ryan: Yeah, it's awesome.
tommy cresta: ah Like all those C8s, unbelievable. But yeah, ah that's how you do a high ah big budget film like that.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: Damn.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: Yeah, so Doom Part 2, my favorite movie of the year. Also, did you know Annie Romulus only had a $30 million budget?
Ryan: Yeah, yeah, super low.
tommy cresta: And it made like 380.
Ryan: Yeah, it's amazing.
tommy cresta: God damn.
Ryan: I'm kind of realizing, the more that I think about it, the reason Dune had so much money to focus on the on the effects of the people, because that it looks amazing in the ships. Because there's no fucking buildings in the movie.
Ryan: It's just sand the whole time. They don't have to worry about anything.
tommy cresta: but
Ryan: Even when they go to the different planet with Florence Pugh, it's just grass. They just went to like a garden and were like, all right, build a fucking shed we can walk into, and we're good.
tommy cresta: It lay is like two rooms in that world, two rooms in the other in a on Dune on a Arrakis.
Ryan: Yeah.
Ryan: Yeah. Hmm. Like the first one, when there's the, the city, they, you know, quote unquote city that they go to originally, there's buildings there, but then they just go off into the desert immediately.
Ryan: I'm not not saying that to knock the movie. I'm just saying I must make it much simpler.
tommy cresta: Makes sense how they say.
Ryan: you know
tommy cresta: And now the hardest thing in production wise for that movie had to be doing the UV light.
Ryan: Oh yeah.
tommy cresta: That had to be so fucking annoying because one person moves wrong if I mess up the entire shot.
Ryan: Yeah. Yeah. But it's so cool.
tommy cresta: But yeah, that movie is I love Doom part two. And I really, I need to rewatch it because I don't think I've seen it since it left theaters because I went solid in theater so many times. But yeah, that is our best and worst of 2024.
Ryan: Yeah. Oh, one more thing about doing two.
tommy cresta: That was the most.
Ryan: Fuck that kid who sat next to me. That fucking douchebag who was cracking beers and talking the entire time, smoking in the theater.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
tommy cresta: probably ruined it for you a little bit yeah you did see it again thank god um but before we leave ryan out of all your best movies or honorable mentions recommend one of them what what movie would you choose for everyone to go watch
Ryan: ah Yeah, no, absolutely he did. But then I did see it a second time and I was like, yeah, it's all right. It's good.
Ryan: Megalopolis. um No, I think.
Ryan: I'll recommend, I'll co -recommend too, because there's such different movies, but it's going to be a real pain in kneecap. If you want, there's similar lengths under two hours. A real pain is a great like drama and just character, um very character driven, just two cousins talking and just figuring out life, just going through a trip. And the kneecap is a drug fueled fucking fever dream with Irish music all throughout. So whichever one of those,
Ryan: Whichever one of those two seems more interesting to you, watch it. Because they're both great movies in their own right. But definitely on ah different sides of the spectrum of a good movie.
Ryan: So recommend those two.
tommy cresta: I'll do a co -recommendation.
Ryan: Co -recommendation.
tommy cresta: We'll go two very different films. We'll go I Feel like doing you can't recommend aliens not for everyone I'm gonna say if you're a religious person go watch heretic cuz it will I mean it Threw my brain for a loop and I have had the same beliefs as I was a little kid So that was a wild thing to experience. And then I would say, I should go watch Saturday Night. It is so funny. It's not so like a heavy hitter. I mean, you could put it on and just listen to some of the jokes. Half the script is ad -libbed, like they just kept trying to be like Saturday Night Live. They talk about on the production side. And the guy who plays John Belushi is, I didn't say it earlier, he was great. He was so funny, but yeah.
tommy cresta: ah Go watch one of those two films, they're both on Amazon Prime. But yeah, Ryan, there it is. There's our best and worst movies of 2024.
Ryan: Sweet.
tommy cresta: Now, the next thing we have to do...
Ryan: Got it done. We got it done after saying we're going to do it after we see the brutalist.
tommy cresta: And then we got sick and we couldn't push it back anymore.
Ryan: We didn't see the goddamn brutalist. Yeah.
tommy cresta: We have to then do the popcorn Oscars or Oscar guesses, do an Oscar breakdown.
Ryan: We had to get this out.
tommy cresta: We still have to do Ryan still has to watch the Alien movies.
Ryan: I do. I do. I do. I do. I definitely do.
tommy cresta: And they're all on Hulu.
Ryan: They are all on Hulu.
tommy cresta: They are. They're also on Disney Plus. Which is so weird to me seeing Alien on Dearly Plus.
Ryan: Which is Hulu. Yeah.
tommy cresta: But yeah. um Yeah. Thank you guys so much for tuning in. What's the next movie that come. Let's see. What's the next like movie that we're going to.
Ryan: Although Disney Plus doesn't work up in my garage now.
tommy cresta: Really.
Ryan: it pissed me Every time I try to open the app, because the past couple nights I've had like, you know, Nate and Puff coming over and I'm like, all right, well, I got 30 minutes to kill. Let me watch some, i wanted I just, all I want to do is watch some Star Wars and Clone Wars.
Ryan: The app just won't open. I just, I just, I click on Disney Plus and it just sits there on a loading screen for 20 minutes. It's infuriating me.
tommy cresta: I'm sorry.
Ryan: Hulu works fine, which pisses me off even more because they're the same goddamn company. Why does one of your thing work and the other one doesn't?
tommy cresta: Maybe to update it.
Ryan: Makes, makes me upset. I don't know how to do that, but I'll figure it out.
tommy cresta: Here do I. That's why it didn't work in my basement for a little bit. So presence is out.
Ryan: Yeah.
Ryan: Presence from San.
tommy cresta: The horror, the ghost movie from the ghost point of view.
Ryan: Oh, Oh yeah. It's not going to be good.
tommy cresta: a Oh, Captain, Captain, um Captain America.
Ryan: What does it have? What does it have?
tommy cresta: ah comes out What do you think it has?
Ryan: My mom bought tickets for that last week. That's how excited for that movie she is. And she is so upset at us for constantly shitting on it.
Ryan: Presence Okay.
tommy cresta: Yeah um IMDB and ros six five i m db ninety d Rotten Tomatoes
Ryan: Yeah. All right.
Ryan: Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know, I love, like I always say, I think a movie's bad, I love to be proven wrong, but that movie doesn't, I i don't see how it's gonna be that scary if you already know who the ghost is.
tommy cresta: It's certified.
tommy cresta: ah
Ryan: Nothing's gonna jump out of you, you know what I mean?
tommy cresta: That's what I thought. It says a slow burning spectral thriller presence reaffirms that Soderbergh plays with form as definitely as he fits between as he as he flirts between genres.
Ryan: it It is kind of funny we got this right after in a violent nature. Which was like, Oh, it's just, this is such a weird thing.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: Seeing it from the killer's point of view. And then Soderbergh's like, I'm already kind of making the same thing, just different.
tommy cresta: yeah Dude in a vile nature that has the most vile kill ever in He saw with the the yoga oh oh ah it is It's a wild thing to see enough the dude like the row in front of me started gagging I was like, that's a fair reaction but
Ryan: Oh yeah. I i finally saw it. The fish hook or whatever. Yeah. Pulls it through. This is wild. Oh my God.
Ryan: Really? Yeah.
tommy cresta: Yeah. Um, yeah. Thank you guys for tuning in. We know it would probably be Captain America.
Ryan: Wait, when does that come out?
tommy cresta: We'll probably be the next movie we review, but it comes out next week. Where does it come out today?
Ryan: Fuck. No, I thought it was February.
tommy cresta: Oh, is it 13th?
Ryan: I thought it was like the 12th or 13th.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: Yeah, should be like Valentine's Day.
tommy cresta: Damn.
tommy cresta: And there's no movies coming out right now.
Ryan: I know.
tommy cresta: This is the worst time of year.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: Oh, we got...
Ryan: Except for those little ones, like those monkey man's who come out and they're like, oh shit, I got it.
tommy cresta: Yeah, sneaky good.
Ryan: Yeah. The ones they don't really believe in. So they're like, yeah, I will just throw that out and ends up being real fucking good.
tommy cresta: Oh, the Attack on Titan movie comes out.
Ryan: Oh, that was good. Fuck. I forgot to put that in my honorable mentions. I was going to sneak that in because the finale movie, because I watched it when it was on Cartoon Network.
tommy cresta: Yeah.
Ryan: i Found it. I think I did something illegal, but I don't know for sure I literally just went on Google and looked up attack on Titan finale movie and it was on Adult Swim for free. I don't I didn't have to like sign into anything.
Ryan: I just watched it so it was it was Adult Swim's website.
tommy cresta: Oh my, that's, that's not illegal. Yeah.
Ryan: I don't know. I didn't do anything wrong, but It was so fucking good though.
tommy cresta: Yeah. That was the day debuted.
Ryan: Yeah, it was so good.
tommy cresta: Yeah. I still haven't seen it.
Ryan: What's it it comes out on the 10th, right?
tommy cresta: Yep.
Ryan: Yeah. I mean, we're definitely seeing it because I ah absolutely see it again.
tommy cresta: I, I want to see it.
Ryan: Yeah.
tommy cresta: Damn.
Ryan: It was, it was really good. It was a good finale. I don't know if you're going to love it.
tommy cresta: Oh, Wolfman's out.
Ryan: I'm just kidding. I think you're gonna like it a lot.
Ryan: Yeah. Apparently it's dog shit.
tommy cresta: Yeah, I know. It's kind of breaking my heart.
Ryan: Yeah. I mean, the more I saw trailers for that movie, the more it looked like he's just not going to be the Wolfman. Like, you know what I mean? He's never in costume. Like, I understand saving it for the movie, but it seems like it's not that long of a movie.
Ryan: It seems like he's going to be the Wolfman for like the last two minutes and you're barely going to see it. You know what I mean?
tommy cresta: yeah hu damn yeah there's nothing out fuck it's gonna be a boring couple weeks um but yeah thank you guys so much for tuning in i don't know what we're gonna review next maybe we'll be presents or maybe ryan will watch alien and then we can do the alien rankings or we can or we could do the uh
Ryan: Which is really disappointing because I don't want to see some dude who's just got fucking scales and boils on his skin. run around for an hour and a half. That's not, I don't really feel like watching that. So yeah.
Ryan: It's possible.
tommy cresta: Our top 10 directors thing we were talking about.
Ryan: Oh yeah.
tommy cresta: And then have like their view, write their favorite movie with it.
Ryan: Yeah. I feel like there's a lot of movies I want to watch though from direct.
tommy cresta: i think
Ryan: Like if I have a director, I'm like, I want to finish his cinematography.
tommy cresta: Like filmography.
Ryan: Whatever. Yeah. That's what I meant. Sorry. Filmography.
tommy cresta: But yeah, thank you guys so much for tuning in and we will see you in the next episode.
