00:00:00
Jim Phoenix
Well, everyone, Jim Phoenix here and another short and and curly. No, hold on. That's something else. Another small one. No, that's bad phrasing, too. We'll get this done. This is our short one movie. ah Today's movie is get away. No, really. Don't come back, come back, come back. Today's movie is get away of Nick Frost.
00:00:26
Jim Phoenix
That's right. Two thousand and twenty four. Oh my God. This year, a matter of fact, I've got the screener. I've been sitting on it for so long from IFC films and shutter. So thank you very much for this. It comes out December 6th. So when you hear this, go to the theaters to watch it. It's worth it. Trust me. I have never studied you wrong so far. All that more on this human humans hit it.
00:00:59
Jim Phoenix
oh man mo
00:01:06
Jim Phoenix
Remember, if you want to hear Brannock and I, well, we got maybe one more episode this year. And that's often tell, I think mid January or February or something. Enjoy.
00:01:21
Jim Phoenix
we we will
00:01:26
Jim Phoenix
ah That's close enough, right? Yeah. Hey, kids. Hey, everyone.
Theater Experience Emphasis
00:01:30
Jim Phoenix
So we are doing another stream in demons. Just Jim, as they say, the JJ's, the just Jim's. And I've got a great offering for this one. It is getaway 2024 with Nick Frost. And I got this by mistake, honestly.
00:01:52
Jim Phoenix
I was talking to Shutter about a different Nick Frost movie and they just dropped this on me. I'm like, holy crow, I didn't know something even existed. This is so cool. And here we go. I'm going to read this directly from Shutter. By the way, it comes out December 6th in theaters. See it in the theater.
00:02:12
Jim Phoenix
And yeah, I know we've been to the theaters before and the most annoying commercial, except for those popcorn commercials that scare the shit out of me. I don't know why I've ever been to Canada. You know, the popcorn commercials I'm talking about, they scare the shit right out of me. No clue. I honestly, I've watched like that. But it's the this movie must be seen in the theater to enjoy. Of course, you're going to say that like, no, please hire the shit home now.
00:02:43
Jim Phoenix
I'm not saying you have to see this movie in the theater. I'm just saying it's a cool fucking movie. And if you want to take a date or just yourself, fuck it. It's been a rough year. Go to the theater. Enjoy it there. It'd be cool. It is 86 minutes. That's like an hour and a half. It's great timing. Your your butt will not go numb. Well, you know, it might go numb, but not from the movie. You know what you do? Safety word is banana.
00:03:13
Jim Phoenix
This comes directly from IFC films. This is the log line they gave
Movie Plot and Genre
00:03:18
Jim Phoenix
me. A family's vacation to remote getaway takes unexpected turn when they discover the island they're on is inhabited by a serial killer. Not bad. It's a decent log line. It's pretty tight. I think it goes beyond that. I think it really goes beyond that. And this is a horror, it is a rated R. And it's blood, guts and ass. That's why it's rated R. It's fun. And if you like to see Nick Frost driving a fucking car, like if you're like Black Cab, I want to see more of that him driving a car. This is the movie for you. He drives a shit out of that car in this movie. Not for too long. I mean, the other one's called Black Cab and literally him just talking of a fucking car.
00:04:12
Jim Phoenix
But this is. Him probably at his best since truth seekers. yeah Oh, that's a fucking deep drive. It is probably as best as truth seekers, which by the way, fucking got canceled way too soon. It is a non-simon peg movie. I didn't know if they could do movies about each other. Oh, am I jealous or is that a dig? Both.
00:04:40
Jim Phoenix
No, but it's going to be Shaun of the Dead esque, meaning there there is this horror aspect to it. There is a comedic aspect to it, but it really does fit firmly in the horror genre.
00:04:58
Jim Phoenix
And anything comedic is kind of the tongue in cheek. ah Later on, you'll see why that's kind of funny. And I'm going to give you a brief rundown of of all the people on it. I can't pronounce your names, but if you ever see like all the Swedish or like Midsomer and this one, get in that mindset.
00:05:24
Jim Phoenix
and then get rid of that mindset, the wrong mindset to have. But you you can kind of go in with that. You have Nick Fries, you have Azzling Bay and Sebastian Kraft. so call ah era mallinov These names I cannot say I need to do cut it out and they're all OK. Anita Sukari performs a master fucking class of acting. I wanted to strangle her, her character.
Nick Frost's Contributions
00:05:56
Jim Phoenix
a police and mentor character, not the actual fucking actress. Jesus fucking Christ. Can't even fucking tell people. And I think one of the strengths of this film is a writing and Nick Frost wrote the fucking film. So you got Nick Frost writing it and acting the shit out of this.
00:06:18
Jim Phoenix
I will tell you they do this. It has sexual content and there is some sexual contact. If if you're like, we scream around sex because you're American or some shit. Sorry, it's truthful. Oh, shoot me for being. Don't fucking truth. Oh, I forgot you could get your Americans. Me too. Pieces. But the sexual content is.
00:06:44
Jim Phoenix
Well, when you see you're like, oh, fucking, I get it now. I without spoilers, I would say psycho. But I think that's fair. I think that's fair. And it's all really well done. There's there's no poor acting in this and there's no dead scene. There's no like, why am I doing this? And yes, the tagline is get ready for a killer holiday.
00:07:14
Jim Phoenix
It is brilliantly done. It's located in Finland. I'm so sorry. I know I don't want to. I'm American. Finland, Sweden, they'll end in the only Finland I know is Jimmy Buffett. God damn it. Fucking lost him this year, too.
00:07:32
Jim Phoenix
But give it ah a shot. Give it a go. You're going to see some practical effects and you're going to see some amazing twists and turns. I thought I can't give it away. If you give it away, it's kind of like, fuck it. But I will say when they told me the the team behind Tusk. I was like, fuck Tusk. Was it Kevin Smith? No, it's not. OK. Fuck it.
Movie Review and Comparison
00:07:56
Jim Phoenix
I'll still go. Well, I'll i'll wash it. It.
00:08:00
Jim Phoenix
moves, it moves. If you have an hour and a half, it is a great date night. It's kind of like funny, but still fucking a biteful movie. It's a great date movie. I would not take little kids at this. ah But maybe I would. I don't know. Take your own fucking kids or your kids, not mine.
00:08:24
Jim Phoenix
And it is something that you could absolutely rewatch. I cannot wait. If I get a chance to see this in Canada, I'll fucking be there. I'll fucking be there in December six in the theaters, because it's that good a movie. It's a rewatchable movie. It really is. Yes, Jimbo will share a little bit the magic of spoiling it as I was watching this movie. I was thinking, you know, be really cool.
00:08:53
Jim Phoenix
If they did this, if they did X, Y, Z, if they did this and X, Y, Z, I think this would be a killer fucking movie. It's a good movie now, but they did X, Y, and Z. And then X started happening like, holy shit. And then Y I'm like, no. And then Z I'm like, holy fucking no way.
00:09:11
Jim Phoenix
And they pulled it up. I knew in my heart of hearts, I would have done X, Y and Z. And when I saw that on the TV screen, thank you again, shutter and IFC films for an Amanda there for a TV screener. I was like, holy fuck, this is gold.
00:09:31
Jim Phoenix
It is my last, I believe my last single movie review of this year and it is the best one. I am going to give Nick Frost wrote this, acted the shit out of it. It's the cast is killer. The cast is a killer. It's really not family friendly.
00:09:50
Jim Phoenix
But it is strong. Go see it. Go rent it. Go to the theater. Brink people. It's a Christmas movie. It's a family movie. There you go. There's actually a tagline they don't have. Imagine National Lampoon's vacation meets tusk. You're fucking welcome, Nick Frost. I just solved the riddle for you. You owe me now. And I would take your first or third barn. I'm not really picking.
00:10:19
Jim Phoenix
So go watch it. I'm giving this five out of five. Cthulhu is perfect. Fucking score for Cthulhu. Those bam. I'm done. Get out. Yes, I will. Go watch it. Go get it. IFC shutter. You guys have a fucking hit on your hands with Nick Frost. Keep milking that motherfucker until he's done. All right.
00:10:44
Jim Phoenix
That's it for me. Oh, my God. That is it for me this year. Oh, so shit. Merry Christmas. Happy whatever's Thanksgiving is over with. See you all soon. Next year when Brannock and I are doing full swings. Bam out of the parks. We might have one or more episode based upon. I'll give you a hint. Documentaries. But other than that, it's been fun. Season four. Oh, my God. Season four. We actually have A big surprise for season
Tara Reed's Upcoming Role Announcement
00:11:15
Jim Phoenix
four. We got her confirmed. That's right. Tara Reed will be in season four. All that more. Next year, motherfuckers deuces. The music. So he played cats in a cradle like this. And then you put this right here. I need to put this one through there. I do one of these. I go, ah, my hands all mucked up. like I can't do that.
00:11:42
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, motherfuckers. Peace.
