But as we know, you said Verizon or something was having a huge...
00:01:38
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah, they had a whole outage over here on on like the East Coast for a bunch of people. And i was like we were having issues here in the house, too. And so it was like just overall, there was just nothing but technical issues.
00:01:50
Kendahl Titcomb
And we were a little scared because before we started this one, we were almost on the same boat. It turned out it was just user error.
00:01:57
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, something was going on on your side.
00:01:58
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah, it was user error.
00:01:58

00:02:08
Julian Contreras Jr

00:02:29
Julian Contreras Jr
And then we were just,
00:02:29
Kendahl Titcomb
And that's that's the hard part. Like, we're a little behind on Catch Up because we were we were literally on the cusp of of new movies coming out when it came out because we were we went and saw, I mean, well, now everybody, Thunderbolts is a little long in the tooth in the theaters.
00:02:48
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, exactly.
00:02:48
Kendahl Titcomb
But we we saw it and then we kind of had a little bit of a break and then we came back and then it had a technical issue. So now we're, you know, three ish plus weeks out from, i think, when we saw it.
00:03:00
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, it's been been a little bit. I've almost forgot about most of it, but not really.
00:03:06

00:03:31
Julian Contreras Jr

00:06:38
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes. Gotta take those vacations when you can get them.
00:06:42
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah. Especially as the kids are getting older, it makes, it's kind of makes it different, but, but anyway, yeah. Um, so other than that, I mean, it's been good. I did get, uh, I got a lot of little odds and end things in, um,
00:06:57
Kendahl Titcomb
on the entertainment side, because, you know, that's our that's our show.
00:07:00
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes, sir.
00:07:01
Kendahl Titcomb
i did actually finish watching all of Black Mirror this season.
00:07:06
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay, I still need to start. You told me a few things that one of them was a dud, but I have to get there.
00:07:08
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:07:11
Julian Contreras Jr
I've been marathoning so much other stuff because of what's going on in theaters, and I have
Julian's WrestleMania Adventures
00:07:17
Julian Contreras Jr
to catch up.
00:07:17
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah. Well, I mean, I'll say this much for for our listeners out there. If you have not watched Black Mirror this season... go in it with a little bit of a cautionary element. There's, um, it's not as, as not as lengthy as the past episodes or past seasons.
00:07:33
Kendahl Titcomb
This, this season only he has six episodes. Um, so it's, I, I don't know why they went with less episodes this season, but if you, if you know anything about black mirror, the first season was the same way. It was only a few episodes.
00:07:47
Kendahl Titcomb
Um, second season was pre pretty, pretty lengthy. Third season was pretty heavy. Um, And then i think the rest of the seasons all stayed right around that, like, I want to say eight, nine, ten episodes.
00:07:59
Kendahl Titcomb
um Or this one's six. ah There's some really good ones. I'll be honest with you, like, amazing good ones. um One episode or two episodes do callbacks to previous episodes.
00:08:14
Kendahl Titcomb
um And they're pretty good. Do you remember the Make Your Own Adventure Netflix
00:08:21
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, I believe so.
00:08:23
Kendahl Titcomb
Okay, so yeah they they kind of reference back to that. They bring in some characters from that. um And then there is the, there's also the episode that was kind of like a callback to Star Trek-ish type episodes.
00:08:36
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, OK. Yeah.
00:08:37
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah, so um they they bring, they come back to that um part of Black Mirror Universe. And they literally like go straight into where they left off on the last episode.
00:08:49
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, wow.
00:08:49
Kendahl Titcomb
So it's kind of cool. It's kind of a continuation. It's one of the very first times I feel like they've continuated an episode from previous seasons. um So it was really good. it's It's actually, that is hands down the best episode, not just because I'm a Star Trek fan, not just because I'm a sci-fi fan, but it is hands down the best episode in the six episode series.
00:09:10
Julian Contreras Jr
I was just about to say, look who's the biased one now?
00:09:11
Kendahl Titcomb
So... Yeah, yeah, a little biased. But no, I mean, because it's not necessarily... i mean, obviously, Black Mirror is sci-fi in nature. um But it does it's not about that. It's about... It's just really good.
00:09:26
Kendahl Titcomb
it is It is really good.
00:09:28
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay, awesome. I look forward to it.
00:09:29
Kendahl Titcomb
So...
00:09:30
Julian Contreras Jr
I got to get there.
00:09:32
Kendahl Titcomb
I would say that of all the episodes, the the first one, um one called... um
00:09:41
Kendahl Titcomb
I want to say Hotel Revere, think it's what it's called, and then the last episode. So those three are hands down the best episodes of all of them.
00:09:52
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:09:53
Kendahl Titcomb
So,
00:09:55
Julian Contreras Jr
Awesome. Good to know.
00:09:56
Kendahl Titcomb
but yeah, and i think the first one's called Everyday People or something I think it's something something like that. have to look up the name. But yeah, those those are the best ones.
00:10:07
Kendahl Titcomb
But yeah, other than that, I mean, I there's and got some other stuff that I did watch, but those are those are like the the well the movie we're going to talk about in Black Mirror.
00:10:18
Kendahl Titcomb
And then i did catch Minecraft, the Minecraft movie finally.
00:10:23
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes. In theaters or at home?
00:10:25
Kendahl Titcomb
No, at home. I watched it home.
00:10:27
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay, so you didn't have to...
00:10:27
Kendahl Titcomb
I had enough had enough ah ah credits that I was able to get it for basically for free. so
00:10:33
Julian Contreras Jr
You didn't have to worry about any chicken jockey fiascos going on?
00:10:36
Kendahl Titcomb
No. Except for my kids. My kids. My kids definitely yelled at Chicken Jockey in that moment.
00:10:41
Julian Contreras Jr
Nice.
00:10:42
Kendahl Titcomb
ah
00:10:42
Julian Contreras Jr
Good for them.
00:10:43
Kendahl Titcomb
So, good movie though. I really enjoyed it. I i thought it was definitely, you know, if you haven't seen it yet um and you're like, oh, I don't want to watch such a childless show, Hands down, it's it's a movie who knows what it is.
00:10:56
Kendahl Titcomb
there's There's no sugarcoating it. It's a goofy movie that knows that it's based off a video game, but they really play into it very well. And i I thought it was funny. i laughed I laughed out loud multiple times through majority of of the show.
00:11:11
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, so my my review of it held up for you.
00:11:11
Kendahl Titcomb
So...
00:11:14
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I honestly feel like the, it was funny. It was definitely oriented to the Minecraft group, right? Like it was very much that Minecraft group, but I think in the end, I still enjoyed it enough, regardless of it being a Minecraft movie.
00:11:32
Julian Contreras Jr
nice
00:11:32
Kendahl Titcomb
Like separative of that theme factor, it still was just a good, funny, lighthearted, overall good movie.
00:11:40
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. Awesome. right. I want to talk about ah me.
00:11:43
Kendahl Titcomb
How about you?
00:11:45
Julian Contreras Jr
I.
00:11:46
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah, vacation. Talk about your vacation. Let's talk about that real quick.
00:11:48
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. Yeah. So real quick, wrap it up. um I did end up going to WrestleMania in Las Vegas and a few other shows.
00:11:59
Kendahl Titcomb
Okay.
00:11:59
Julian Contreras Jr
Went to five shows in total over the span of three days. Yeah.
00:12:04
Kendahl Titcomb
i was going to say, you didn't have that many days there.
00:12:07
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, I was, i didn't think this could happen. Like when you're so immersed in something you love, it the time just seems to go by and you're like doing everything you can.
00:12:19
Julian Contreras Jr
i just got so enamored in the wrestling thing that like my dreams, everything dreaming was wrestling, either standing in lines or going to the things or watching stuff in my dreams. It was crazy.
00:12:32
Julian Contreras Jr
It took about a week for that to go away, to be honest.
00:12:35
Kendahl Titcomb
yeah That good.
00:12:37
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes. But I had an amazing time, like I said, on the little short episode. Definitely the top three vacations I've ever been on in my entire life.
00:12:49
Kendahl Titcomb
Wow.
00:12:50
Julian Contreras Jr
like it It might be tied with my honeymoon, obviously, and the Carolina trip.
00:12:57
Kendahl Titcomb
yeah Just don't don't don't don't tell the wife that.
00:12:57
Julian Contreras Jr
Because
00:13:00
Julian Contreras Jr
she's fine with it. She knows. I put her first. She's always first.
00:13:04
Kendahl Titcomb
She knows what I am.
00:13:06
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. So i as you can see from the pictures behind me, I got some photos with a couple of superstars.
00:13:12
Kendahl Titcomb
Yep. You got a couple of new ones up.
00:13:14
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. Uh, I did end up buying one of those belts. It wasn't the big, big ones, but it was a very cool one. There's a very cool story. i went to wrestle con the first day and a wrestler named Rikishi had just gotten set up and he had a one-on-one belt.
00:13:35
Kendahl Titcomb
Hmm.
00:13:35
Julian Contreras Jr
And I ended up buying that one. It came with an eight by ten autograph and a picture of him too. That was $100 value. So it was really only $400. Sounds um sounds like a lot of money for a stupid thing.
00:13:49
Julian Contreras Jr
But yeah, it is what it is.
00:13:49
Kendahl Titcomb
have ah Yeah, but yeah, know what's what's money when it what it matters, right?
00:13:53
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, because it was one of one, and I really enjoyed Rikishi wrestling back when he was doing it. And it's his son now that is why mainly I went, Jey Uso.
00:14:07
Kendahl Titcomb
Okay.
00:14:08
Julian Contreras Jr
So I had already bought an autograph session with him, so I figured he would just sign the belt. And it ended up working 100%. I took the belt to the autograph signing.
00:14:20
Julian Contreras Jr
And everybody in line loved it because it's a unique belt. And he signed it. And I got it authenticated by Beckett when I was there. So it is 100% Yeah.
00:14:30
Kendahl Titcomb
That's awesome.
00:14:31
Julian Contreras Jr
legit
00:14:32
Kendahl Titcomb
That's awesome. I mean, I'm not into it like you are, but that's cool. I mean, because that's the thing, right? It's all about what's in you, right? And that's all that, yeah, that's right
00:14:41
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:14:42
Kendahl Titcomb
and year that's that's all that
00:14:44
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
00:14:45
Kendahl Titcomb
yeah that's you
00:14:45
Julian Contreras Jr
I'm i'm waiting for my
Julian's Past and Future Travel Plans
00:14:48
Julian Contreras Jr
wall piece to get here so I can hang it up on the wall because it's too big for the other space I wanted to put it in. But it's fine. But I want to talk about the huge show, WrestleMania. I've never been in my life, okay? I've been to local shows.
00:15:05
Julian Contreras Jr
There's about 15,000 to 17,000 people at the places that I go here.
00:15:13
Julian Contreras Jr
At Allegiant Stadium, 60 plus thousand people.
00:15:18
Kendahl Titcomb
Wow.
00:15:19
Julian Contreras Jr
It was full, Kendall. Like, I can't... I mean, besides behind the stage where they created the entire skyline of Vegas, there was just people, like, everywhere. And it was awesome to be there, seeing the whole setup. And i was telling my son, I was like, let's just sit here and enjoy it. Like, breathe it in. Like, this is insane that we're here.
00:15:43
Kendahl Titcomb
Never gonna do it again, right? Like it's not gonna be the same experience ever again.
00:15:47
Julian Contreras Jr
now It's never going to be the first experience again. like If we go again, we definitely have our ah correction of errors that we're going to do and what we can spend our money on, what was fun, what wasn't quite worth the money.
00:15:49
Kendahl Titcomb
Right. Yeah.
00:15:59
Julian Contreras Jr
you know But there was a lot of experiences that we paid for that are absolutely one-of-a-kind amazing. like Obviously, meeting the superstars was fun, but superstars, they're going to come
Movie Reviews and Experiences: 'Final Destination' and Beyond
00:16:13
Julian Contreras Jr
and go. In about five years, there's going to be a whole new crop of superstars.
00:16:16
Kendahl Titcomb
yeah
00:16:18
Julian Contreras Jr
But we ended up doing the brunch, which was super fun. ah Wrestlers came around to our tables and took a lot of pictures.
00:16:23
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:16:27
Julian Contreras Jr
And then even the at the Grand Prix Plaza, there was a lunch one day for just members that bought the package that we did. And I didn't know what was going to go on in there. Honestly, we went up this escalator. We waited in line.
00:16:42
Julian Contreras Jr
And then the guy explaining, he's like, so once you get up there, it's just this long room. And there's going to be food from this place and food from this place. And he completely undersold it. It was crazy. Free food everywhere. There was a DJ.
00:16:58
Julian Contreras Jr
There was Cirque du Soleil people doing like weird stuff on like the circle dancers.
00:17:04
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:17:05
Julian Contreras Jr
If that's the ring dancers, I don't know what they're called.
00:17:07
Kendahl Titcomb
I know what you're talking about. yeah
00:17:09
Julian Contreras Jr
There was a few of those. And every time the DJ would play a wrestling song, like one of the theme songs, like the whole room, would just start dancing and singing along to it, depending on who the wrestler was.
00:17:20
Julian Contreras Jr
And my son, I just kept bringing him food. And he's like and that they were walking around giving food to the tables too, like pigs in a blanket with these big, thick hot dogs. It was delicious.
00:17:31
Julian Contreras Jr
Mac and cheese bar.
00:17:31
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:17:35
Julian Contreras Jr
It was so much. It was a lot of fun. And it was crazy. ended up getting these, ah I don't know if you can see me or not, but I got like these little poker chips.

00:17:44
Kendahl Titcomb
Nice. ah yeah, with WrestleMania on it.
00:17:46
Julian Contreras Jr
So, yeah, i took I took some of those. ah Just a lot of fun. Had ton of great experiences. Met wrestlers that I didn't think I'd ever meet in my life.
00:18:00
Julian Contreras Jr
Just so much fun. like But like I said, it took about a week for it to get out of my brain. Like, it was a lot.
00:18:10
Kendahl Titcomb
That's cool, though. I mean, I i and and I know your son probably really enjoyed doing it because um like I remember nowhere near on the level that you're talking about.
00:18:11
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. Yeah.
00:18:20
Kendahl Titcomb
But when I got to go to Harlem Globetrotters, they had a ah local basketball team when I grew up as a kid and they hosted them.

00:18:30
Kendahl Titcomb
And again, the you know, the arena was just packed. And I remember doing that and then going and the, at the time my grandfather bought the the package that allowed us to meet them and be a part of that.
00:18:44
Kendahl Titcomb
And that's still, I mean, I'm, I'm 43 years old and that's still a core part of who like I am and the things that i remember as a child.
00:18:52
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:18:53
Kendahl Titcomb
Right. So I can only imagine your son feeling this in, in some form, a similarity that, you know, decades from now is that core memory of being there and doing that.
00:19:03
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, I really hope that in in a few years when he's graduating college and has a good job and wants to take the old man somewhere, we can go again.
00:19:14
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:19:15
Julian Contreras Jr
But I'm just glad that he's at the age he is where it is going to be one of those core memories, just like you said. It's going to be there for the rest of his life.
00:19:21
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:19:22
Julian Contreras Jr
He's going to be, oh, yeah, I remember when me and my dad went there and did that during that match.
00:19:26
Kendahl Titcomb
Right.
00:19:29
Julian Contreras Jr
A lot of fun. and don't know.
00:19:32
Kendahl Titcomb
That's cool. Yeah. I'm glad for you, man. I think that's, I guess I think that's a great thing. Cause when you have that kind of a core memory that, that, that experience, even for us at our age, I mean, that's something that's really,
00:19:45
Kendahl Titcomb
That's good to have, right? That's a good thing for us to be able to experience and be a part of too.
00:19:48
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, and I'm just trying to think of anywhere.
00:19:49
Kendahl Titcomb
So.
00:19:51
Julian Contreras Jr
Besides going to like a different country now, I don't know what is on my top list of vacations to do now.
00:19:58
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah. It's on your vacation bucket list.
00:19:59
Julian Contreras Jr
Because that was... Yeah, it was a ton of wrestling, and my wife made my dream come true when I went to Carolina. And they actually won a game against Tom Brady, which was amazing. i love that.
00:20:12
Julian Contreras Jr
And then we went to Fenway Park for a three-game series against the Yankees.
00:20:17
Kendahl Titcomb
Oh, yeah.
00:20:18
Julian Contreras Jr
And then obviously our honeymoon, we took our very first cruise down to Mexico and went to all those other places.
00:20:24
Kendahl Titcomb
That's cool.
00:20:24
Julian Contreras Jr
There were some correction of errors on that one. Next time on a cruise, we need to know what we're doing. Because the excursions, we had no idea what those were.
00:20:29
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah, I've heard that.
00:20:33
Julian Contreras Jr
We just saw people leaving the boat.
00:20:34
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah, I've yet to do yet to do a cruise.
00:20:36
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, what we got to redo it. But my son gets really, really seasick. So I don't think he will go on one of those. So if we ever redo one of those, we'll have to do that. But...
00:20:48
Julian Contreras Jr
I really want to take her to where they did Harry Potter in that country.
00:20:48
Kendahl Titcomb
Cool. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:20:55
Julian Contreras Jr
And I really want to see the... I always forget the names, but it's... I don't remember what country it's in, but this is a pair of twin light towers that are hooked together in the middle.
00:21:09
Julian Contreras Jr
I always forget the name, but if you guys look it up, you can Google search it by that and you'll you'll find it. But I really want to see that.
00:21:17
Kendahl Titcomb
Huh? I'm trying to think are you trying to, is I like Asian Hong Kong?
00:21:17
Julian Contreras Jr
So
00:21:23
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah, it's over there somewhere.
00:21:25
Kendahl Titcomb
Okay.
00:21:26
Julian Contreras Jr
I think they're called the twin light towers.
00:21:26
Kendahl Titcomb
Is it, is it Thailand?
00:21:29
Julian Contreras Jr
It might be.
00:21:31
Kendahl Titcomb
So I think, I think, uh, cause I'm thinking of, um, um, what is that? Uh, now trying think movie that it's in crazy rich Asians.
00:21:43
Julian Contreras Jr
The first time I saw it was on the, uh, the show, the mole. Yeah, it was probably there. don't know.
00:21:49
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:21:51
Julian Contreras Jr
I'll find it. I'll post a picture sometime, but I don't want to waste time on those towers that I haven't been to yet.
00:21:56
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah. No.
00:21:58
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. Thank you for letting me get that vacation talk. I've been waiting for weeks to talk about that.
00:22:02
Kendahl Titcomb
yeah
00:22:03
Julian Contreras Jr
A lot of people at work don't want to hear about it. They're just like, oh, that's cool. Wrestling, it's all fake and all that. you know I don't know why you're getting so amped up about it.
00:22:11
Kendahl Titcomb
now
00:22:12
Julian Contreras Jr
like Dude, that's my thing. Everyone has their thing. This is my thing.
00:22:18
Kendahl Titcomb
60,000 people in that arena, 60,000 people in that arena were right there with you.
00:22:18
Julian Contreras Jr
This and football.
00:22:23
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. I mean, those were all my people. That's what everybody kept saying. It's like, ah like who who likes wrestling? Like what I'll show you 60,000 people that I walked around and got the flu from.
00:22:35
Kendahl Titcomb
You know, yeah, in like a five acre lot.
00:22:36
Julian Contreras Jr
So. Okay. so
00:22:40
Kendahl Titcomb
So, hey, I did want to circle back really quick to Black Mirror just to to give the name. So the the the good episodes, just to throw them out there. Common People, it's Hotel Reverie, and then um the USS Callister, Into Infinity.
00:22:56
Kendahl Titcomb
Those are the three episodes that you should watch. I will tell you right now, the episode Plaything alludes to being in a really interesting episode, and it's probably the worst.
00:23:11
Kendahl Titcomb
um Eulogy is sort of interesting, but I had a hard time staying... like focused on it. I finished the episode. Absolutely not worth it.
00:23:23
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:23:23
Kendahl Titcomb
And then there's another one called, um, bed in a war and I haven't even finished it yet because it was so bad. So maybe I need to finish it to figure out if it's good or not.
00:23:32
Julian Contreras Jr
All right. Yeah.
00:23:35
Kendahl Titcomb
But um the three that I gave you, Common People, hotel Hotel Reverie, and then Into Infinity, those three are as good as Black Mirror gets. It's that twisted reality.
00:23:48
Kendahl Titcomb
You find yourself finding commonality, and then all of a sudden you're like, if this was true, holy crap. moment And that's what makes Black Mirror so great, right?
00:23:58
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:23:58
Kendahl Titcomb
So anyway, not to go deeper into that that whole element of Black Mirror, but yeah, those those three are really good. Really, really good.
00:24:06
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. That's totally fine. Cause you gave me time to look it up. And those towers are called the Patronus towers in Malaysia.
00:24:13
Kendahl Titcomb
Malaysia. There we go.
00:24:14
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. They, they are amazing.
00:24:15
Kendahl Titcomb
i was getting close.
00:24:18
Julian Contreras Jr
And i I would
00:24:18
Kendahl Titcomb
I was
Excitement for 'Mission Impossible' and Upcoming Trailers
00:24:19
Kendahl Titcomb
getting close.
00:24:19
Julian Contreras Jr
love to go, but anyway, let's get back into the meat potatoes what this show is.
00:24:24
Kendahl Titcomb
All right.
00:24:24
Julian Contreras Jr
Let's get to entertainment. We have live stories. That's cool. We'll share them at the beginning of the show, but we will always get back to entertainment that you can watch either on the small box on your wall or the big box that you pay to go see in the theaters.
00:24:38
Kendahl Titcomb
We kind of introduced a little bit of both.
00:24:40
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. All right.
00:24:42
Kendahl Titcomb
All right. sure
00:24:43
Julian Contreras Jr
What else do we want to talk about?
00:24:43
Kendahl Titcomb
Should we get into...
00:24:44
Julian Contreras Jr
Thunderbolts.
00:24:45
Kendahl Titcomb
Yes.
00:24:46
Julian Contreras Jr
That's three weeks old now. A lot of people have probably already seen it. It's probably exiting theaters in the next two weeks based on what is coming out.
00:24:48
Kendahl Titcomb
I know.
00:24:50
Kendahl Titcomb
And I guess we can... And we can kind of preface it with the fact that if you haven't seen or or heard this yet, but um it's you know all over a lot of news. And I don't feel like we're spoiling too much, calling it the New Avengers...
00:25:04
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, no, but like the day after I saw it, I think I saw it on the news that they were ripping the Thunderbolts name off the posters and stuff.
00:25:05
Kendahl Titcomb
um
00:25:12
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah, I don't know why em the MC Universe, Disney, whoever, Marvel, i don't know if you want to to to go down that avenue of blaming for it, but I don't know why they decided to just immediately jump into New Avengers.
00:25:26
Kendahl Titcomb
But it is what it is.
00:25:26
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:25:28
Kendahl Titcomb
ah like this movie.
00:25:32
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:25:32
Kendahl Titcomb
i I really like this movie. i i i liked the I liked the theme of the movie, the overall arching theme of it, um being that you know mental disease can have changing effects on different people.
00:25:48
Kendahl Titcomb
And how going through like different aspects of, of like, we'll say mental trauma can have different ways of, of affecting different people.
00:26:00
Kendahl Titcomb
Cause I look at it as you have, you have one character that has a deep hearted mental issue that ultimately ends up taking him to a dark place, which makes him, you know, ah becoming a, Oh my gosh, my brain just froze up.
00:26:16
Kendahl Titcomb
What's his name?
00:26:19
Julian Contreras Jr
Century is all in there.
00:26:20
Kendahl Titcomb
Sentry. Thank you.
00:26:21
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:26:21
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah. So, you know, he becomes Sentry and then you have, you have the other side of, you know, losing, um losing who would, you know, Black Widow and, you know, how her sister and her, and her father end up dealing with losing her.
00:26:40
Kendahl Titcomb
And in, in the sense of, the way that they're able to kind of not only find each other
Closing Thoughts and Future Plans
00:26:48
Kendahl Titcomb
in it in some way, but also kind of moving on.
00:26:51
Julian Contreras Jr
Thank you.
00:26:51
Kendahl Titcomb
i mean, honestly, like Florence Pugh's character deals with grief in a very different way, but ultimately that's, you know, again, we're farther off. I don't feel like I'm spoiling too much ends up helping, right. She ends up creating a good, a good part to, to help, um you know, century through his problems.
00:27:13
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:27:14
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, and already you are taking this way deeper than I took. I took it straight at fra face value.
00:27:20
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:27:20
Julian Contreras Jr
like
00:27:20
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:27:21
Julian Contreras Jr
Like you're going into like all these other things and I'm like, holy cow. All right, and maybe we did watch the same movie.
00:27:26
Kendahl Titcomb
Okay.
00:27:30
Julian Contreras Jr
ah I enjoyed it for the fact that it was a straight up beat them up, shoot them up. Honestly, with some comedy mixed in.
00:27:36
Kendahl Titcomb
yeah yeah
00:27:39
Julian Contreras Jr
I did not really care for Teemu Superman is what I'm calling Sentry.
00:27:46
Kendahl Titcomb
okay
00:27:47
Julian Contreras Jr
um Too powerful. And honestly, if he could make, when he turns into the, what is it?
00:27:51
Kendahl Titcomb
Agreed.
00:27:54
Julian Contreras Jr
The void. So we call him and he could just blip people into the shadow realm.
00:27:56
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:27:59
Julian Contreras Jr
That's like, I don't know. You can be as strong as you want. If he can just flick his fingers and you're gone, a little too powerful.
00:28:04
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:28:07
Kendahl Titcomb
Agreed.
00:28:08
Julian Contreras Jr
uh doesn't matter how strong or trained or teamwork you have he doesn't have to do any of that and then if you make him as strong as he was what does it matter like honestly so
00:28:19
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah, I, I, I will agree with that fact. I, you know, that was actually one of the conversations my wife and I had post the movie was he was too powerful. I mean, and even inside the movie, there was kind of this recognition of that.
00:28:32
Kendahl Titcomb
I mean, one of the characters like, well, I'm just going to leave. What are we supposed to do?
00:28:36
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. He just rips Bucky's arm off.
00:28:40
Kendahl Titcomb
Right.
00:28:40
Julian Contreras Jr
Like he tries to punch him with it. He just rips it off. Like, okay, well, yeah.
00:28:43
Kendahl Titcomb
And then beats him with it.
00:28:45
Julian Contreras Jr
I mean, what's Bucky going to do? He's 90 years old and yeah, I don't know.
00:28:50
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah, but I mean, i i I thought this was definitely a um good comeback from where MCU has been.
00:28:51
Julian Contreras Jr
But okay. Yes.
00:28:59
Kendahl Titcomb
um
00:28:59
Julian Contreras Jr
I will agree with that. It was a good start of a comeback.
00:29:00
Kendahl Titcomb
and Yes. And I felt like it did not fall into the trope that was so heavy in the other ones of where they tried to be funny and it wasn't funny. And then they tried to be action and it's like, this is super lame.
00:29:15
Kendahl Titcomb
And so i I felt like there was a good mix of all the things that that we go to see these type of movies. And that is this, you know, kind of almost buddy cop element of where you have good cop, bad cop.
00:29:30
Kendahl Titcomb
They come together, they fix out the situation, but in the midst they get into a lot of trouble and then figure out how to get out of it at the same time.
00:29:37
Julian Contreras Jr
right
00:29:37
Kendahl Titcomb
And i I felt like that really kind of was the nuance of this of this movie in its heart was you had a bunch of misfits that were getting into trouble, but they had to come together and then figure out how to fix it all.
00:29:48
Julian Contreras Jr
Right.
00:29:51
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes. And I want to jump ahead to the cut scene, the very, very end of the movie.
00:29:55
Kendahl Titcomb
Okay.
00:29:58
Kendahl Titcomb
the The legalese.
00:30:00
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes. But right before that in the credits during the music part they give away what they're gonna do did you notice that
00:30:12
Kendahl Titcomb
No.
00:30:13
Julian Contreras Jr
if you're reading the credits and it gets to the movie part the very last song that they have in the order is the fantastic four theme song
00:30:23
Kendahl Titcomb
Oh, yes.
00:30:25
Julian Contreras Jr
I was like, okay, when the hell did they play that? Oh, I just swore. Sorry. age Anyway, ah I didn't understand. I'm like, well, okay.
00:30:36
Julian Contreras Jr
I don't remember that. So here it comes in two minutes.
00:30:38
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah. Yeah, i no, I did catch that. Actually, it was funny because as you say that, I remember I i i did think that I'm like, okay, well, whatever the cutscene going to be, it's going to introduce the Fantastic Four in some format.
00:30:51
Julian Contreras Jr
Right. And I... I really hope the Fantastic Four is good. i i don't have an opinion yet. I've only seen the one trailer. I'm almost refusing to see more because I don't want to ruin it. And I don't want, I mean, I love the man as an actor, but I am getting so Pedro Pascal out.
00:31:13
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:31:13
Julian Contreras Jr
He's in everything.
00:31:14
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:31:15
Julian Contreras Jr
ah no credit to No credit to him for being good at what he does to get all these jobs. That's awesome. Way to go, Pedro. You can come on the show whenever you want.
00:31:27
Kendahl Titcomb
It's feeling like a Nick Cage situation of the late 90s, though.
00:31:30
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, he's in everything. He's every character. And it's from The Last of Us to Game of Thrones to the Fantastic Four. What else has he been in?
00:31:42
Kendahl Titcomb
Well, he was in that, he was in the, ah what is that, Nick Cage movie that was out.
00:31:48
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, yeah he's yeah. That run with a really long title that I forget.
00:31:51
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah, the, yeah, don't even get me, i don't know.
00:31:55
Julian Contreras Jr
So I'm really hoping, and I'm going to drop it after this, but I'm really hoping that the Fantastic Four is at least a high good.
00:31:55
Kendahl Titcomb
Nope, my brain's off.
00:32:07
Kendahl Titcomb
Well, okay, so here's here's my here's my two cents on it. Oh, and the by the way, you didn't that you also missed The Mandalorian, um The Kingsman.
00:32:14
Julian Contreras Jr
oh right. Yes. Sorry.
00:32:16
Kendahl Titcomb
um Let's see. I'm just looking at a couple things really quickly. Oh, Gladiator 2. Yeah.
00:32:22
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, yeah. I almost forgot about that one.
00:32:24
Kendahl Titcomb
um
00:32:24
Julian Contreras Jr
That's how much I like that movie.
00:32:26
Kendahl Titcomb
yeah Oh, ah the the brief driveway dolls.
00:32:30
Julian Contreras Jr
Hey!
00:32:32
Kendahl Titcomb
um
00:32:32
Julian Contreras Jr
it did like that one.
00:32:33
Kendahl Titcomb
okay but Okay, so here's my two cents on Fantastic Four. the the the The ones that came out in the late 90s, early 2000s, they weren't bad. They weren't great, but they weren't bad per se, right?
00:32:46
Kendahl Titcomb
the I think they got a little bit of the of the negative rap that was the beginnings of what could become the MCU. Yeah. um they The very first movie was weird, quirky. The second movie was a little bit too fantastical, quirky.
00:33:02
Kendahl Titcomb
And I think that threw everybody off. And then they dropped it. Then the next two movies that come back, right? The next two movies that come out. Here's the problem. They went through multiple director changes. They went through multiple writing changes. They went through multiple production changes.
00:33:15
Kendahl Titcomb
And when you look at that, there's never been a good movie that had multiple producers, multiple writers, and multiple directors. consecutively on both films and then be successful. It never happens.
00:33:30
Kendahl Titcomb
Look at Suicide Squad, right? So when you had Suicide Squad, what's that?
00:33:33
Julian Contreras Jr
I'd rather not. I'd rather not.
00:33:35
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah, like the Will Smith Suicide Squad. Terrible movie. Terrible movie.
00:33:40
Julian Contreras Jr
OK.
00:33:40
Kendahl Titcomb
But then you look at like suicide Suicide Squad when you when you have like The Peacemaker and those guys in it. That's a good movie. Why? You had one director, one writer, one producer the whole way through.
00:33:52
Kendahl Titcomb
So you i might my two cents on this is that I'm hopeful that this is a good film, only for the fact that they've had the same they've had roughly the same directorial, writer, and producer lineup since the beginning of its major production.
00:34:08
Kendahl Titcomb
So, and, and, and let's go back to, this is not trying to reinvent the wheel of modern day version of Fantastic Four. This is going back to its originality from the form of which it came out in the 1950s and how it was aligned to the comics at that time.
00:34:26
Kendahl Titcomb
So I think this is just, again, I'm going on my high horse for a second. Here's my soapbox. I'm stepping up for a second. I really have my hope for this because of these factors. Now I'm stepping down, walking away.
00:34:38
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay, awesome. We'll leave we leave that one in the MCU universe. um um want to talk about a few trailers. I did talk about them in that little short episode.
00:34:49
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:34:49
Julian Contreras Jr
i hope you all watched because we're having a little bit of a discussion.
00:34:53
Kendahl Titcomb
I did.
00:34:53
Julian Contreras Jr
First, I want to talk did you watch the trailer for The Long Walk?
00:34:56
Kendahl Titcomb
Yes. Yes, I did.
00:34:58
Julian Contreras Jr
What do you think?
00:35:00
Kendahl Titcomb
ah well Okay. i like I like it. It looks really interesting. It um i it it very much reminds me, and it kind of hints to this too, because you have the same production team for Hunger Games.
00:35:14
Kendahl Titcomb
It's this... post-apocalyptic almost but kind of steampunk-ish type tv show that's themed on individualized torture so
00:35:29
Julian Contreras Jr
it it's based on the book like we talked about and I really want to read this book before the movie comes out because I want to be that guy in the theater that's like, that's how it happened.
00:35:32
Kendahl Titcomb
yep
00:35:39
Kendahl Titcomb
I just added it to my list.
00:35:39
Julian Contreras Jr
That's not how it happened.
00:35:40
Kendahl Titcomb
I actually just, just before our show, because we were talking about it in pre-production, I actually added it to my, my book wish list. So I'm going to, my, my next ah free credits that I get, that's my next book.
00:35:48
Julian Contreras Jr
All right.
00:35:53
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. And then one that you had talked to me about that's coming out, i think next month already. Weapons.
00:36:00
Kendahl Titcomb
Oh my gosh. This movie. It's just, if you haven't seen the trailer, did you, I mean, I, I apologize, but, um, if you haven't seen the, the, the preview for this trailer, I, did you talk about when it comes out?
00:36:16
Julian Contreras Jr
ah No, I think it's soon. It might be in two weeks after the big one.
00:36:18
Kendahl Titcomb
It, I would say, I know it's coming up, but, um, go watch this.
00:36:21
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:36:25
Kendahl Titcomb
It's man. yes.
00:36:27
Julian Contreras Jr
It looks very, very trippy. It's got Josh Brolin in it.
00:36:29
Kendahl Titcomb
Yes.
00:36:31
Julian Contreras Jr
I know I saw him. i forget the blonde with curly hair. I forget her name. She's going to be Silver Surfer.
00:36:37
Kendahl Titcomb
Julia. Give me a second here. um
00:36:43
Julian Contreras Jr
but I'll go into a little bit of this movie. Watch the trailer because I'm not going to do it any justice, but it's this school where she's a teacher and everyone shows up to school, but all of her students are nowhere to be found.
00:36:59
Julian Contreras Jr
And it's just her classroom.
00:37:00
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah, Julia Garner, by the way.
00:37:02
Julian Contreras Jr
Julia Garner?
00:37:02
Kendahl Titcomb
Julia Garner. Yeah, Garner.
00:37:03
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. And it comes, they find out that at 2.17 all of her students... all of her students went downstairs through the front door and were never seen again is what the trailer says and you start watching this trailer and it gets freaky fast like it's jimmy johns
00:37:25
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:37:28
Kendahl Titcomb
I mean, it's it's it's very... It is very trippy. I happened to run across this trailer not because for anything other than someone had like liked it within my circle of friends on Instagram and it popped up and I was like, what is this? And if you've ever watched a trailer on Instagram, that's just...
00:37:49
Kendahl Titcomb
Why? Why do you do that? Like, don't do yourself that favor. Go to YouTube and watch it like a like a real person.
00:37:53
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. Watch the full thing. Yeah.
00:37:56
Kendahl Titcomb
Anyway, so like a real person.
00:37:57
Julian Contreras Jr
Like a real person. A real boy.
00:37:59
Kendahl Titcomb
And that's what I did. i went to YouTube and found it And I was like, OK, going to watch this trailer. Oh, my gosh. It's so trippy. It's just so trippy.
00:38:07
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. It played on the movie I went to go see with my brother and he hadn't seen it before but he liked it. And then one other one that's coming out that looks even more insane than that one.
00:38:19
Julian Contreras Jr
Together with Bree...
00:38:23
Julian Contreras Jr
Alison Brie and James Franco. Is that right, James?
00:38:30
Kendahl Titcomb
What is it?
00:38:31
Julian Contreras Jr
Together.
00:38:32
Kendahl Titcomb
Together.
00:38:33
Julian Contreras Jr
I know it's Alison Brie and it's her husband, Dave Franco.
00:38:37
Kendahl Titcomb
Yep.
00:38:38
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes, they're the only two that star in this movie from what I can see. There's a few other people. Oh man, but if you look at this one, super trippy, not sure what's going to happen.
00:38:50
Julian Contreras Jr
Definitely going to have my popcorn ready.
00:38:53
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah, this one looks interesting too. like it's um i've I've only seen like snippets. I haven't actually watched the full preview of it. But yeah, very and just again, i think um there's some really interesting like
00:39:07
Kendahl Titcomb
head game type movies coming out.
00:39:10
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. So of course I'm going to lead with those two trailers because they were scary and they did happen to be on our next topic. Final destination.
00:39:21
Julian Contreras Jr
That one hit theaters Friday or Thursday. if you got advanced tickets, but final destination bloodlines. Oh my goodness.
00:39:28
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:39:30
Julian Contreras Jr
You guys, if you are a fan of this series in any way, this one is by far the best, if not the first one being the best.
00:39:41
Julian Contreras Jr
This one is amazing.
00:39:44
Kendahl Titcomb
Well, it has, it actually has one of the highest Rotten Tomatoes scores in the series.
00:39:50
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:39:50
Kendahl Titcomb
So it's currently at 93%.
00:39:50
Julian Contreras Jr
And it's, it's,
00:39:51
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah. Yeah.
00:39:53
Julian Contreras Jr
It's well-deserved. You haven't seen this one, Kendall, but you've seen the others.
00:39:56
Kendahl Titcomb
no
00:39:57
Julian Contreras Jr
And so you you know that the premonitions that they have are usually about their own deaths and what's going to happen real quick.
00:39:57
Kendahl Titcomb
yeah
00:40:05
Kendahl Titcomb
Right.
00:40:05
Julian Contreras Jr
And they get out of the situation and you know chaos ensues.
00:40:07
Kendahl Titcomb
yeah And then death follows. Yeah.
00:40:09
Julian Contreras Jr
This one is a little bit different. It starts with what you think is her seeing the premonition and going through it all.
00:40:20
Kendahl Titcomb
Is this the one at the the prom?
00:40:22
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, it's going to be the one at the really high hotel that looks like I would never eat dinner there in my life.
00:40:24
Kendahl Titcomb
Mm-hmm.
00:40:29
Kendahl Titcomb
Yep.
00:40:31
Julian Contreras Jr
So it goes through the whole premonition.
00:40:31
Kendahl Titcomb
The Space Needle or whatever.
00:40:34
Julian Contreras Jr
And then it goes into, it's a girl in college that is seeing it. And it's a premonition dream type thing that her grandmother went through.
00:40:44
Kendahl Titcomb
Weird. Okay.
00:40:45
Julian Contreras Jr
So right there, it was just a very intriguing difference in the story.
00:40:50
Kendahl Titcomb
Right.
00:40:52
Julian Contreras Jr
And I remember in the year 2000, I watched this in the theaters and i took my dad because it was my sister's birthday party. My brother was hanging out with his friends. And so my dad and I got out of the house and we went to go see the very, very first one of these movies.
00:41:08
Julian Contreras Jr
And right away, it was amazing. there I mean, sure, there are some inconsistencies. Like was when that blonde girl gets hit by the bus, you can clearly see that the road is cut off and blocked.
00:41:21
Julian Contreras Jr
So there's no reason the bus should have going that fast in that direction.
00:41:24
Kendahl Titcomb
Right.
00:41:26
Julian Contreras Jr
I mean, but that's that's Hollywood, right? There's going to be small mistakes.
00:41:28
Kendahl Titcomb
Semantics.
00:41:29
Julian Contreras Jr
I mean, there's an airplane in the Lord of the Rings, for heaven's sake.
00:41:29
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:41:35
Julian Contreras Jr
But I strongly recommend everyone please go see this movie. It is, well, I mean, if you're not a big fan, don't. Because it's gross sometimes. But this was also my very first experience with the D-Box seats.
00:41:50
Kendahl Titcomb
Oh, I was going to ask you if you went to see it that way.
00:41:53
Julian Contreras Jr
Have you been into D-Box?
00:41:54
Kendahl Titcomb
No, not yet.
00:41:56
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. I thought it was just gonna be speakers in the chair that made the but louder. No, as soon as I sat down in the chair, my brother and I, we would go to push the up button to make the intensity stronger, which I thought was a volume button, but it's not.
00:42:13
Julian Contreras Jr
As soon as I push it up, my chair goes, and it just starts vibrating.
00:42:18
Kendahl Titcomb
right
00:42:19
Julian Contreras Jr
And I knew i was in for a ride.
00:42:22
Kendahl Titcomb
An experience.
00:42:24
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, my brother's like, how high are you going? I was like, well, I paid for this seat. I'm going all the way.
00:42:29
Kendahl Titcomb
yeah
00:42:30
Julian Contreras Jr
I'm leaving it on a high. And for all those people that haven't been in D-Box, because there's gotta be people out there, cause I haven't sat in one yet. This thing will tilt slightly left and right and forward and backward along with vibrating with what's happening on the screen.
00:42:47
Kendahl Titcomb
That's cool.
00:42:48
Julian Contreras Jr
The more intense the scene, the more intense the chair gets. Super fun, adds a lot to the movie. even when they're in a car scene and they're just driving, you know, there's a little dialogue scene between the passenger and the driver.
00:43:04
Julian Contreras Jr
You're idling in the chair like you're in the car.
00:43:07
Kendahl Titcomb
Oh really? So you have that slight
00:43:09
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. And there's, you could even tell there was a different vibration between when they were in a car driving and they were in a truck driving. They even calculated that. It was, it was a lot of fun with the D box seats.
00:43:22
Kendahl Titcomb
That's cool. Yeah, I'll have to try that. I haven't, I haven't, there's only a couple of places around here that do it and I haven't really found a movie that i wanted to. So Twisters was one that they offered in it and I just was like, yeah I don't know if I want to do that.
00:43:35
Kendahl Titcomb
And then, um and then I saw this one is offered. And so, yeah.
00:43:40
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, I would definitely give this one a try in the D-Box. ah Somebody I was talking to was like, whoa, I should have saw Thunderbolts with D-Box. And I was like, eh.
00:43:49
Kendahl Titcomb
I don't know would have done that.
00:43:49
Julian Contreras Jr
I mean, there was some action, but it was more talking. This one was definitely a good, it's a good experience. I'll say that.
00:43:57
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah, that's cool. so would So would you, um okay, going back to the originalities, because I know that that's another part of this, right? So the whole idea is that this is the idea of bloodlines. It goes all the way back to the very beginnings of of like, you know, why death has followed these people.
00:44:17
Julian Contreras Jr
Uh-huh.
00:44:17
Kendahl Titcomb
ah In comparative to the first one, you kind of said it, but would you say this is as good as that? Or, um or would you say that they've, they've definitely hit the jackpot of the rarity is being better than the first?
00:44:34
Julian Contreras Jr
I mean, the it's hard to say. The first one is good because it came out in the year 2000. But at the same time, the way this one is built and the CGI has gotten so much better. Like during the trash can scene, that's one of the things I leaned over and said to my brother. i was like, the CGI has gotten so much better.
00:44:55
Julian Contreras Jr
ah I would say that this one for me is better than the first. Yes.
00:44:59
Kendahl Titcomb
so here's another question does it stand alone in its in its category so like some of the other movies you kind of had to don't know like if if you're not into it you probably won't watch it in this one if you're not in if you've never seen a final destination can you go and watch this and be like oh that was a good movie okay
00:45:15
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes. Yes. Because i think I feel like the only two that really go together are one and two because of Clear, Ali Larder.
00:45:23
Kendahl Titcomb
Right, right.
00:45:24
Julian Contreras Jr
She's alive. She makes it through the first one. Spoiler alert, if you 25 years, she makes it to the second one, but not all the way.
00:45:29
Kendahl Titcomb
yeah
00:45:33
Julian Contreras Jr
She makes it halfway through that second one before she perishes.
00:45:36
Kendahl Titcomb
Right. And then yeah right and so.
00:45:39
Julian Contreras Jr
All the others are pretty much just standalone. And this one is by far a standalone because it takes place in the fifties and what's going on with this particular family. There is one cameo that, you know, I'm just going to give it away because RIP Tony Todd, they do find that character in this movie.
00:46:04
Kendahl Titcomb
Hmm.
00:46:04
Julian Contreras Jr
And as soon as they said that they were going to see him and I knew who they were going to go see, I leaned over and I'm like, oh, this might be sad.
00:46:05
Kendahl Titcomb
Okay.
00:46:14
Julian Contreras Jr
Because this was his last movie, I think. I think on IMDb this is his last one. And, I mean, life is a cruel beast, man. Like, you could... You've seen Tony Todd in his prime.
00:46:30
Julian Contreras Jr
Strong, muscular... full of life, just that deep voice, kind of scary. When you see him in this one, it's, it's when he's sick.
00:46:43
Julian Contreras Jr
It's, it's kind of, it's really sad, but great.
00:46:47
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah, and I think, um yeah, this is, that's the hard part is like, I will never see him pass like the Candyman. Like that's always been, like that's my brain.
00:46:58
Kendahl Titcomb
Like that's how I always will see him as that like staunch, very almost like stoic, creep you out just looking at you kind of character.
00:47:06
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah yeah so definitely go see this one you're gonna enjoy yourself Kendall especially if you liked all of them I binged all five before I saw this one they were fun I will say they were all fun
00:47:09
Kendahl Titcomb
yeah. so
00:47:16
Kendahl Titcomb
Oh, yeah. I mean, they weren't all great. They were definitely not all great, but...
00:47:24
Kendahl Titcomb
but Yeah, they all had their nuances of being entertaining.
00:47:28
Julian Contreras Jr
yes but going into the finale of this episode 47 minutes in the big heavy hitter that is coming out this weekend that I need to make plans to see that my wife and I are watching a marathon currently mission impossible.
00:47:49
Julian Contreras Jr
What are your thoughts? Are you excited? Are you not ah Tom Cruise fan? Do you care?
00:47:56
Kendahl Titcomb
Okay, this is where you and I have our big battles and differences. i've I've never fully watched a Mission imp Impossible movie from the beginning to the end.
00:48:07
Julian Contreras Jr
I just watched one through three yesterday, my guy.
00:48:10
Kendahl Titcomb
ah i've I've seen the first one in parts.
00:48:10
Julian Contreras Jr
what
00:48:14
Kendahl Titcomb
That is it. i have never i i own I own every one of them. I have never watched them.
00:48:19
Julian Contreras Jr
What? Okay, is it... It can't be because it's not action-packed.
00:48:26
Kendahl Titcomb
No, it's it hasn't.
00:48:26
Julian Contreras Jr
It's gotta be because it's Tom Cruise.
00:48:26
Kendahl Titcomb
nothing no Not necessarily. It literally has just been, it's never been one, oh that's what I want to go watch right now.
00:48:34
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. I mean, I get that.
00:48:37
Kendahl Titcomb
it's just never been on my watch list. I, my, it, it, I went and saw the, ah um, I went to go see the original and I don't remember what else i was playing. and I was like, eh, no, I want to go see him something else.
00:48:49
Kendahl Titcomb
So I never saw it. And then somebody I knew rented it and they were like, oh yeah, let's put it in. And remembered starting it. And then we got distracted and like we were playing a game or something. I never finished it. And then I've seen parts of it on TV and yeah, it's just, it's never hit hard on that line. So,
00:49:06
Kendahl Titcomb
Look, i this is this is a big this is a big end to a very impactful series because this is a series that is the rarity that from the beginning to the end has never really faltered that hard.
00:49:15
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:49:22
Kendahl Titcomb
They've always been fairly successful.
00:49:22
Julian Contreras Jr
I mean, it's in the name.
00:49:24
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:49:24
Julian Contreras Jr
It's the final reckoning.
00:49:26
Kendahl Titcomb
well And that's the thing is it's always been it's always brought money in. you know It's not like the Harry Potter series where it was based on a book. It's not it's not like the Lord of the Rings series that was based on a book. it's not i mean This is definitely not like Back to the Future or that just you know was a cult following.
00:49:46
Kendahl Titcomb
this is just it It's just good cinema that a lot of people like. i I unfortunately have never fallen into that part. But I'm just saying, like, I, obviously this is one of those rare TV movie. Cause it's based off the TV series.
00:50:01
Kendahl Titcomb
It's, it is a rare, it's a rare situation of where it's been successful time and time again. So don't, don't not see this because I said anything.
00:50:08
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes.
00:50:10
Kendahl Titcomb
I'm just saying, don't judge me. Cause I've never finished to making a mission impossible movie. So yeah,
00:50:17
Julian Contreras Jr
There's no judgment. I'm just surprised.
00:50:19
Kendahl Titcomb
Right? I know. i i
00:50:20
Julian Contreras Jr
ah
00:50:21
Kendahl Titcomb
this is one of those I think this summer, this is what I need to do. I need to finish the series, watch it from beginning to end, become a fanboy of it, and then go see Reckoning. Yeah,
00:50:31
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, you know, this is this is the eighth one. You know that.
00:50:34
Kendahl Titcomb
yeah I know.
00:50:35
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. he got
00:50:36
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:50:37
Julian Contreras Jr
In fact, I might go downstairs and watch four or wrestling. I'm not sure. Whatever happens. But I am super excited for this. I'm going through the marathon again. We did a marathon back when number seven came out.
00:50:52
Julian Contreras Jr
And it was awesome. Took my son and my wife. We went to the big theater and saw it. Thought the next one was going to come out in a year. turn It's been three.
00:51:04
Julian Contreras Jr
So I can't wait to see the ending of this. Like he says, I need to trust him one last time.
00:51:16
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:51:16
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah. Well, and this is this is been um this has been coming for a while because they filmed the last one and this one together, correct?
00:51:26
Julian Contreras Jr
Mostly together. I don't know what the holdup was.
00:51:29
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah.
00:51:30
Julian Contreras Jr
I might have to do some research, but I'm going to do the research after I see it because I want no biases, no judgments. If it was something stupid, um,
00:51:37
Kendahl Titcomb
Well, I remember watching the last one, the preview for the last one when Top Gun Maverick came out. And then I thought, mike because my again, I'm not as privy to the Mission Impossible universe.
00:51:51
Kendahl Titcomb
I thought that was the last one. But then I found out that was the first part of a two-part. think that was four, three, four years ago?
00:51:59
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, somewhere in there.
00:52:01
Kendahl Titcomb
Yeah, three years ago. It was three years ago. it was three years ago. So yeah, I i don't know.
00:52:07
Julian Contreras Jr
So I can't wait. I mean, I've loved every one of them. you do This is a series where you, unfortunately, you do have to watch all of them to know what's happening.
00:52:15
Kendahl Titcomb
Right. Yeah. Well,
00:52:16
Julian Contreras Jr
You have to know every single character, the ones who've died, the ones who've betrayed him, the ones who have never betrayed him, his wife that's not his wife anymore. It's it's crazy.
00:52:28
Julian Contreras Jr
It's his whole web.
