Speaker 1 (00:00):
In a true speaker box and the love below theme. Here, Mac,
we have both created intros to this episode. Do you
want your intro or do you want my intro?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We'll do them both. We'll do them.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
We're gonna do both obviously. Do you want to go
first or second?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Though, I'll go first. I'll go first. Goo.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Mac, we just watched a movie about cars and racing vehicles,
and I ask you, what was your dream vehicle when
you were a kid?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Great question. When I was in first or second grade,
I wanted to be a taxi cab driver, So that
would be my dream car.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
That is not a car, that is a profession. Did
you want to be the Jimmy Fallon, Queen Latifa type
of taxi cab.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Driver or well as the writer of the movie Taxicab
starring Was it just taxi? It was just taxi starring
Jimmy Fallon and Queen Latifa. Yes, that was my dream.
I wanted that specific job with that. Okay, all right,
how about you? Mac?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
You ask me, hey, Max, do my so I'll give
you the young, realistic one, the one if I made
millions and millions of dollars when I stumbled upon the
McLaren F one as like a ten or eleven year old.
This is the first ever street legal vehicle that had
the driver's seat in the middle and then two passenger
seats on the side, so it was a three in
(01:17):
the front. Well it's just one row really, and it
was modeled, of course, after f one vehicles with the
center driver. I thought that was the coolest fucking thing ever.
And I think the car looks awesome, the more realistic thing.
I loved the Plymouth Prowler as a kid, the open
wheel design on the front. Really loved that fucking thing.
I also had an affinity for the old school Dodge Durango.
(01:41):
I liked the look of that. So those are the
three that really bounced around my head as a child.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Want to ask me mine my open question.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Kol You had a dueling banjos type of situation here,
I had one.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
You had one. What is your opening question?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Could you drive a race car?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Thousand percent? Yes?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I actually think I'd be pretty good at it, you
know what, I fucking love and I don't do it
enough because there's no room for a thirty six year
old man to be racing go karts goat carts like
the K one experience F one Boston. All that shit
is a blast, and I get super into it, really
into it. I also think it has a little bit
to do as we've seen with Lewis Hamilton and these
(02:21):
new school F one racers. They grow up in these simulators,
these video game style training systems, and I've always been
good at video games, so I think. I don't think
I ever could race professionally, but I could race the
car and not crash it. F one's obviously a little
different than fucking Nascar, just going around left hand turns,
right hand, Yeah, left hand turns for fucking three hundred miles.
(02:44):
I would love to drive an F one vehicle, though
I'm I like going fast. That's one of my favorite
things to do in a vehicle, and any any sort
of mode of transportation, snowmobiling.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
You ever go snowmobiling and goo.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
No, it's incredibly awesome, and you can go very fast.
It is dangerous good. Yes, I already know the answer.
But do you think you.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Could drive a race car? No?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I could not.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I don't even know if you break the speed limit
on the highway.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Here's the thing I don't like going fast, and the
reason Why is because when I'm going to speed, whether
it's driving, skiing, snowboarding anything like that, I feel like
I'm out of control, okay, and I hate feeling out
of control. I like to be in control of what
I'm doing and my surroundings. Also, especially with F one,
(03:27):
I feel like that's a real claustrophobic situation.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
So there is something to be said about that, sure,
and I don't like that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I don't know if I would want to do it
for three hours, but I'd like to do a couple
of laps, you know, see what that's all.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
That's what you tell all of your lady friends.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
One good three? Yeah, job three, King of Queen good
Mill Street, Goo.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Entertaime go And I'm Mac.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And we have a need for going a regular speed.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
You do?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah? Me?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I like to go over the limit and test the limits.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Doesn't he know the speed limit is sixty five? Why
is he going so fast? Why is he up? My
bum you?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Today we are discussing F one the movie.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
It was just called F one up until like two
weeks ago, and then they retitled it to F one
the Movie because apparently people might have been confused.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Who knows my wife hates when I tell her that
I'm going the pace of traffic.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, typically if it's if it's if you're in Massachusetts,
if you're going the speed of traffic in the left Land,
it's gonna be ten to twenty miles.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Well but even if I'm yeah, if I'm going like
seventy fives, why aren't you going faster pace of traffic?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Fair enough?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Fair enough? Goo? You won't get pulled over for that.
So that's that's.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
How I live my life. I have so many driving
speeding tickets in my younger days.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I've been the fast lane Goo. Good's life in the
middle E. I f won.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
The movie Goode just opened this past weekend, fifty five
point six million dollars on the domestic open, one hundred
and forty four million total globally. Uh good, This is
very interesting. We have not had a confirmed budget yet.
I've read anywhere between two hundred and three hundred million.
That is a drastic difference from two to three And honestly,
it might be the difference between this movie making money
(05:26):
or not, because as well as this getting reviewed so far,
it's it doesn't quite seem to have the push as
Maverick had a couple of years now it just isn't
hitting the same sea.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
You know when you look at the movie too, it
doesn't have that like extra little bit of magic or
sparkle that Maverick had too.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
No, I agree, I totally agree, And so we'll see
how this plays out. But obviously pretty solid opening number
one of the box office. This is a PG thirteen
action drama in sports movie sub genre car action and
a motorsport.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
So one second, so I know that we're not talking
about this movie, but I am so happy that M
Threeagan two point zero bombed. I have never been happier,
and like, I want other things to succeed. But when
I saw the trailer to M Threeagan two point zero,
I said, what the fuck is this? I hate this
and I haven't even seen the movie.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
And they've been marketing it for like six months, so
that's real bad.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Feel bad for them.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Goo F one The movie has a run time of
one hundred and fifty five minutes. I don't know what
the average run time of an F one races. I
should have looked that up. That would have been a
nice little fun fact for the folks.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Oh do you know about F one racing, I know
a little bit, so when they were doing their technicalities
in this movie, you were like, ah, bump drafting.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I knew a little bit of it because I watched
the first season of the Netflix series, which I think
is on like season eight now, but it is. It
is an informative series, and really what that series really
does is dive into the team dynamic of the sport,
which I don't think people really understand. You know, as Americans,
we know so little about F one. Most Americans know
us a little about Nascar, But Nascar it's one team,
(07:06):
one driver. F one is one team, two drivers, so
it's a different dynamic altogether. It's a pretty interesting dynamic.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Honestly, Can you drive a stick?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
No? No?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Well, I mean in the two attempts I've had, I've
stalled out both times. I think if I spent an hour,
I'd be able to do it, but I don't want
to learn how to do it.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Is there a debate online about this? I heard someone
talking about it the other day of if your plane
was crashing, and they said, can someone land this plane?
Would you volunteer to land the plane?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
This has been a debate for like three years.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Okay, well you've never brought it up. I'm the first
one bringing it to the table.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
So I'm pretty sure we've talked about.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
This party to the party.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I absolutely as long as you have people in your
ear telling you what to do, I could take instructions.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I'm a problem solver. I could absolutely land a plane.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
And asked me the answer is no, answer is no.
I get the yips when I'm parallel parking. I turn
into fucking Austin Power.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
You know, my pal Jimmy Brennan works on space planes
and he has a lot of pilot friends, and so
I asked him when this was hot in the streets
a couple of years ago. He goes, Honestly, you probably could.
He's like, people are kind of making it sound like
it's too easy. But as long as you have someone
in your ear, you know, you have the flight tower
would be probably talking you through it. And there are
(08:26):
a million buttons, but we just saw goo the rehearsal.
Nathan Fielder became a pilot. Now, he did hundreds of
hours of training, but it's not as improbable as a
lot of people seem to make it out. And I
think it's also pretty intuitive and so if you have
any inkling of I think, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I don't know, Like I don't think I would volunteer.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
But if the room was silent for like ten seconds,
the play was like, all right, I'll give it a try.
Because we're gonna we're gonna die either way. I might
as well take my life into my hands, right, But
you you would rather just put your life on someone else.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You did?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Just see the series premiere of Tailspin. It's a four
episode arc, of course, And you know, Blue, I'll just
do what Balue does. You pull up on the handle
as quick as you can and just hold it up.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
That's how you do it, curve up like that.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You know what else I have the yips with right now?
I mentioned my parallel parking. I get the yips sometimes.
Right now, I have the yips when it comes to
breaking eggs.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Oh, so, how do you do if.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I'm using If I'm doing fried eggs, I just crack
them right on the skillet. But the issue right now
is that when I'm cracking them, they aren't fully cracking,
and then the egg is like seeping out of like
a couple holes and it's not fully cracking in half.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
So I usually just do a scramby because it's the
easiest one. Usually too, like, I'll do the egg into
a bowl, mix them up, three or four eggs.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Right, So I got a fork. So what I do?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Goo, I hold the egg, well, crack it with the
fork because it makes a nice scene, and then it
works well. It works quite well because I also find
sometimes the consistence I mean the skillet, you know, the
if we try to do on the side of the
bowl of skill. Sometimes it leaks in there. You get
the shell in there. I don't care for that.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
You know. The hack to get in the shell pieces
out though, right.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I use my fingers.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
No, you use the shell, use the half shell, and
it scoops the other piece of the shell easier than
your finger does.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I usually put my finger on the hot skillet.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Try the fork method. Goo EV won the movie Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
On Roddy T's eighty three percent from the critics, ninety
seven percent from the audience. I totally understand it a
sixty eight on Metacritic.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I get all of that.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
The critics are saying, like, baseline, this is a good movie.
The audience is like, yeah, we love an underdog sports movie.
I that's what we're dealing with.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
That's what they were going for. Baseline, good movie, that's it.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, I think I think they accomplished that. Yeah, I'll
give them that. I'll give them that.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
And to be honest with you, I enjoyed this movie
and as it was climaxing, I was like somewhat interested
in it. I wasn't super invested, but I kind of
was because Brad Pitt's the man, right, and that's a
big part of this movie.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Goo.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
This movie was written by Aaron Krueger and Joseph Kazinski.
Kazinsky obviously the director as well. You would know Aaron
Krueger from Scream Three, Reindeer Games, The Ring, Transformers, Revenge
of the Fallen Transformers, Dark of the Moon, Transformers, Age
of Extinction, Dumbo, a Mac and Gooo favorite, and Top
Gun Maverick. Also Kazinsky. This is only his second writing credit.
(11:18):
His only other one was Twisters, which I don't even
think he directed again directed by Kazinsky. He directed Tron Legacy, Oblivion,
only the Brave Top Gun Maverick in.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Spiderhead, so yeah, he didn't direct Twisters.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
And I would say about Kazinski, he has really figured
out how to put the common theater go or the
viewer in the driver's seat of these action movies, these
sports movies. He does a really good job of setting
the scene and making you feel what maybe a driver
a pilot would feel. The way he shoots things is
(11:52):
really good for this genre.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You mentioned the movie Reindeer Games. Maybe the greatest moment
in podcasting his was on how did this get made?
That is the Paul Sheer, June Dian Rayfield, Jason Manzukus
podcast where they look at bad movies and they break
it down, they talk about it, and when Jason Manzukus
puts two and two together that Ben Affleck's character is
(12:15):
named Rudy in the movie, like Rudolph, he loses his
mind and it is the greatest like like come to
moment I have ever heard ever.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yeah, it's true light bulb moment. That is awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Uhgu if you are a Kazinski guy, and I think
at this point a lot of people are. He's got
two projects in the works here. Upcoming is a Miami
Vice movie, which might be cool and fun in the
Kazinski style, and then an untitled UAP disclosure thriller. I
don't know what that's gonna be, but maybe that'll be
great as well. Synopsis for F one the movie A
Formula one driver comes out of retirement to mentor and
(12:51):
team up with a younger driver.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
To change some diapers.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
That is, that is what this is.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I didn't know that was given the things for senior citizens.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Oh oh. This movie stars Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes,
Dampson Interest as Joshua Pears, Javier Bardem is Reuben Servantes
Servantes Servantes, Terry Conda is Kate McKenna, and Tobias Menzies
as Peter Banning.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
So they all did good, but we can say this
without the coolness of Brad Pitt. I don't know if
they pull this off.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah, there's two or three people on this planet that
can carry this movie the way Brad Pitt does. Brad
Pitt in his elderly age, what's he fifty five sixty
years old? He's getting up there in his age. He's
still inherently cool, yes, and also not just like cool
guy sport coote cool athletic like yes, legit built, looks
(13:42):
like an athlete and really pulls off this role like
no other.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
And he carries us, especially when the dialogue in this
movie it was written in one liners. There is no like,
there's no paragraph, it's just one liner back and forth,
and it's delivered as cool as possible.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Yeah, I thought the script for this movie was pretty weak.
It's not a very good script. It just is a
bare bones sports underdog story that they throw in uh
or they throw at one of the greatest stars in
the world. And because of that, because of that and
the direction it works.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
It's also wildly predictable. Yeah, there's kind of conflict, but
we don't know who it's against for most of the movie.
There's kind of a love interest. We do get some
of that, but also like when you really hit the
apex of like what Sonny is going through, it kind
(14:37):
of gets rushed and then you don't you don't feel
like how important it is.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
You mean apex racing.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Apex racing. That's the reason why it came to my mind.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Uh goo.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I also so you speak of the love and just
carry Condon. You know what I discovered during this movie.
I have a Kerry Condon thing I really liked.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I think you could put anyone in any movie. MAC
will see them and then say, you know what, I
have a thing for that person.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I very much really enjoyed Kerry Condon in this movie.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I also really liked Harvey or Bardem in a subdued role.
We don't see Bardem in a subdual role.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
He's pretty loud in this movie, though it's loud.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
In the way that an owner is.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
But as far as Harrier Bardem goes, I thought, I
thought he did a nice job being a subdued character.
For the most part, I thought the weakest character in
this movie was Joshua Pierce played by Damson Indrists.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I've never seen him in anything before, fighting out of
his weight class a little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
With the other actors on the screen, it just it
didn't come across as believable, I guess as everyone else.
And then our quote unquote bad sort of here is
Tobias Menzies as Peter Banning. He was okay, he was okay,
Like he's the one that you know, there's a whole
thing surrounded upon and the.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Thing I think we're also looking at it, so we're
comparing it to top Gun Maverick. I have a shirt
on hashtag frar, but you look at it, and so
Brad Pitt and top Gun. Maverick is not Brad Pitt,
it's Tom Cruise. And the asshole in that movie is
Glenn Powell. Glenn Powell is such a better asshole than
(16:11):
Damson Damson Idris. Yeah, the way that Powell plays the asshole,
you believe that he is that cocky, he is that confident,
and then if there is an issue where he has
to kind of take it down a peg, like, you
can see that shell kind of crack on him. Damson
Idris or let's not even blame the actor, but Joshua
(16:31):
Pierce is just such a week I didn't get any
of that cocky, confident attitude from him.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Yeah, and to you, you know, it's a good point too,
And I just said it two minutes ago. I shouldn't
be as harsh on Joshua or on Damson A. DRIs
because the script in the writing isn't great in this movie,
so he didn't have much to work with. And I'm
trying not to compare it to Maverick. Of course, that's
what really could how Kazinski, you know, made his name,
because that movie is just inherently the the the and
(17:00):
the stakes are just better than it's gonna be in
this movie. Like this movie, like, the stakes aren't that
high because it's not life and death.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Really.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
I mean, they try to punch it up to that point,
but it's it's just not at that point.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
They also punch it up too late.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I do like that they're.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Dropping in you know what happened to Pitt, you know,
thirty years ago, and why he got to this point.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
It's just just the script isn't great.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
It's as simple as that, right, It's just it's your
classic sports underdog story you've seen a thousand times, and
now we've seen the old dog come in teach the
young you know, brash character. We've seen that a million times.
We like it though, because the directing is great. We
haven't been put in the cockpit of a racing movie
like this ever. Also, Hans Zimmer's scores, yes, as it
always is. It really helps this movie. Props this movie up.
(17:46):
And of course Brad Pitt is great. So those three
things prop up a week script Separate from Hans Zimmer,
the soundtrack of this movie.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Was not great.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
It was like lazy. It didn't add to the movie.
It might have taken away from it a little.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Bit, you know, What it reminded me of was Air.
Every time in Air, where they put on a song
from the soundtrack, It almost took me out of the scene.
It didn't add to any of the scenes.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
It actually what I felt like in Kazinski wrote this movie,
so maybe there's some relation there. It felt like all
the songs that didn't make the cut for Twisters got
shoved into F one. That's what it felt like to me.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I don't know why, but I thought of what's that
Lincoln Park song of what Up?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
It's called what I've Done?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah, I'm not picturing that song in this movie.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Now. That's the end of the first Transfers movie. That's it.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
That's the reason why I thought of it. Because one
of these people wrote Transformers.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Right, yeah, No, he didn't write the first one, though
he wrote the second, third, and fourth ones, so.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
He has nothing to do with that.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Then Wood and.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Then Optimus Primes calling to the Stars shit back at
Fox two thousand and seven.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Shut up, So we get to the non agone. Yeah, yeah,
all right, fun factor. Driving in cars is fun. I
was confused at points. I didn't know how long laps were,
I didn't know the rules of F one, But I
did learn about teamwork.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
So what they didn't they talk about in this movie,
they don't show it. Uh, they showed a little bit
when uh when Sonny played by Pitt and Joshua Pierce,
the younger one are like qualifying at home at their
home track. A big part of F one racing is
the qualifying before the race and that that's where your
pole position is. So they didn't they didn't muddy things up.
They kept it pretty simple, which I liked. But this
(19:27):
movie's fun because people are driving shit fast and there's crashes, Like,
it's fun.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
It's a fun movie.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
How about Satisfactor? Were you satisfied a bit?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Just enough? Right?
Speaker 3 (19:37):
It's the sports underdog story and we get just enough
of the satisfactor at the end to be like, Okay,
it was worth the ride.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
You're not a has been here, never was I did.
We can go forever without hearing that line ever again.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yeah, that's that's a that's not a bad call.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
When they threw it at us, like, Okay, it makes
sense in here because that's that's what this script is.
But I think we can stop with this. Yeah, agreed, borometer,
they did a good job of I was never really bored.
I never really felt the run time, but what we
got like the the overall average score of the runtime.
(20:14):
I don't think like there's super high peaks, but there's
also no low valleys.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yeah, and for being two hours and thirty five minutes,
it's on the longer side. You're right For a movie
that I didn't love, I also didn't I wasn't that
bored because a lot of the downtime is like you're
hanging out with Pitt or it's Pitt, you know, doing
this or doing that. And also a really strong score
(20:40):
helps those in between things like Hans Zimmer helps this
movie along big time.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You know what the person next to me did at
the end of the movie. They cheered and fist pumped.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
And then the screen paused mid fist pump.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I just looked around him, like, what the fuck is happening?
Where is mac? I want to annoy him? Anita Brine
next to him? Sit by myself with these screenings with
these people, how about a quater world? Is this better
or worse than nineteen ninety fives cinematic classic water World?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
It is better, But this movie could have used a
little more water, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
It could have used more water and does water World
have more charm?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
No, I don't think so either Halloween. Will this wane
over time? No, I think it's as solid as that
will be. It's always going to be this.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I gotta be honest, already gone down one dog for me.
So but I think I'm at I think I'm at
where it's gonna land.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I mean I walked on the theater going all right, okay,
and you know I'm gonna say right now, all right.
Do you think if I learn about F one I'll
like this movie more or less?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I don't really think it affects the viewing, which is
which is a positive for this movie to the masses,
if you know, obviously F one is way more popular
around the world, but if to an American audience, you
didn't really need to do I know anything about F
one coming in, And again they didn't muddy it up
too much with like diving into too much of the
team aspect.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Because I did see Sam Libby posting about it. I
guess he's a big F one guy.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
He's a well, a lot of people watched that Netflix
series and now are F one fan.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Right, And he was talking about like I had to
suspend my knowledge of F one at certain points to
not ruin the movie.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Yeah, because again they're trying to market this to a
wider audience, so you don't want to It's.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Like me, yes Pants, ten City Excite bike Mania, did
anything get you going?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I really liked and this again, this is a classic trope.
I really liked Brad Pitt's chaos strategies. Right, that was fun,
like the old guy, you know, bucking the trends, going
against things and stuff working.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
That was fun for me.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I just thought that that was all like, as soon
as you brought him on to this team, he's gonna
go outside the box. And all of you nerd, all
of you egg heads that have your science, you don't
have this past experience that Brad Pit has.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
And because the movie is like a baseline intensity because
of the racing, and that is like a certain amount
of intense. There is no real pens tent moment. But
the action in the racing is pretty good throughout, you
know what I mean, like it it holds your interest throughout.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I'm still I'm a little bit like Okay, So Brad
Pitt went in there and he designed a car better
than someone that designed spaceships.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
No, he didn't design the car. He said, hey, here's
where where we can make up a margin. I don't
know how to do it, but here's what I here's
where we can make up the margin. Cause he gets
in the car and he can feel the car in
and out of the corners. And obviously someone who's designing
and engineering pieces to a.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Car or a car can't feel that. She's just seeing
the simulations.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
You know, he's saying, throw your computers away. I got
it all up here.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
No, because she needed the computer to design.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
What he was talking about now, a new computer, one
that he designed. He made the new computer.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
He is the computer.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
That would have been a fucking reveal, right there. Plemonade.
When life gives you plemings, you say, Jesse Plemmons is
the best, and he shows up, but he makes everything better.
Did anyone do that for you? Did any small role
do that for you? Even the bad guy in this movie,
he's not a good enough bad guy.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
I liked the team leader guy, but not Plemonade level.
He was just a fun little side character. Obviously, Brad
Pitt's making Plemenade the whole time. But he is the
movie so he can't really award.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
No, you can't give it him.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
This movie did.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Lack, you know, a tertiary character that like punched up
a scene or two.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Max credit Union, who are you giving credit to?
Speaker 3 (24:43):
I mean, it's gotta go to Brad Pitt, right, This
movie is Brad Pitt. This is what we go and
see Brad Pitt movies because of shit like this.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
The whole movie is Brad Pitt.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
For those of you tarty to the Mac and Goo party,
we rate everything on a forty hot dog ratings system. Mac,
you forgot to mention this earlier. The movie also received
forty million dollars in sponsoring their fake race car company.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I did like that dynamic of it and go you
know me. I love customizing things in video games and whatnots.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
As do you.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
I liked that they built up like a good enough
brand and it looked legitimate compared to all the real
F one brandings.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Goo yes for me, No, this I didn't. I just
said one fun fact. They didn't give me my hot
dog score.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
You thought I'm gonna go first.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
You thought that was my hot dog score.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I'm gonna go first.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
You thought that was my hot dog score. You think
so little of me. My hot Dog score is a
fun fact.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I thought this movie was exactly what it needed to
be to be Baseline good.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Right. It definitely could have been better, could have been way.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
You agree with me that if you saw the trailer
for this movie, you know what the movie is exactly
gonna be.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Pretty much. And because Brad Pitt is awesome, it works.
Because Kozinski can direct these action, you know, racing type things,
it works, and because Hans Zimmer's score is amazing, it works.
So I have it at thirty two hot Dogs, like Baseline,
pretty good movie, not great. It's my number six twenty
twenty five release. But that said, it's tied with like
(26:18):
four other movies in that range. So maybe in that
six to nine range, it falls just behind a movie
good that I watched last week now streaming on Peacock,
which I actually drafted in the movie draft, a movie
called The Ballad of Wallace Island. I recommend. It's streaming
for free on Peacock right now. It's just behind that,
and it's tied with Novacane, Companion and Lee Loan Stitch.
(26:38):
So if you liked those movies, or if you understand
what we're talking about like baseline, good movie, not any
world breakers.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I think you're gonna like this movie.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I already gave you my hot dog score. The movie
got forty million bucks from sponsors. How dare you step
up on.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Me ergo forty hot dogs?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I don't know how this was not released on Father's Day.
This is a dad movie. This is a This is
a forty plus go there. You might be feeling like
you're out of your prime, but you look at Brad Pitt.
He's on the screen. He's teaching those little fucking babies
how to drive cars, he's changing diapers. He's got the
(27:14):
grit behind him. He doesn't need school education. He has
street education.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
You know what this movie was missing in regards to that.
It has like the punched up rock country vibes. Right,
It needed like an eighties ballad type of vibe to
really send this movie home.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
This is old guy porn. This is you sitting back going.
You know, you're in fifties. You're sitting in your lazy
boy and you're like, I could do this. Yeah, Brad
Pitt's out.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I'm not gone, but I could get out of this chair.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Right, I could get out of this lazy boy. I'm
not gonna have you ever had a lazy boy chair.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I have owned a lazy boy for about seven I.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Forgot that you're a silver spoon, gray poopon boy. Brad
Pitt is cool, and that really carries the movie, especially
when every piece of dialogue is for him to sound cool,
and only certain people can pull that off. Brad Pitt's
one of them, you.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Know what I was thinking about at one point in
this movie.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
And he doesn't have the awards, so it's a hard
claim to make.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I think Brad Pitt is the greatest actor that's ever lived.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I think he legitimately is, because at this point he's
really playing cool guy Brad Pitt for the most part.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
But I think he's the only actor that I would.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
See any any movie.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
When you say that, I think you could argue best
movie star ever.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Then, okay, that's sort of what I'm getting at. Yeah, yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Well, if the movie wants to play with technicalities, I'm
gonna play with technicalities too, because Brad Pitt went out
there and Bill belichicked fucking torpedo bat at everyone in
those first couple of races, and everyone's like, I don't
know what he's doing. When if the viewer at home
where I don't understand F one, I'm picking up on it.
I think they would have too predictable. It's exactly what
(29:01):
you expected from the trailer. It lacks a true bad guy.
For most of the movie, I was saying, who is
this against? Who are we trying to expectations?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
That's the underdog story, right, That's that's the bad guy?
Is you just inherently that beating?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Beating too true to life. I don't want that in
my movies. I don't want to deal with expectations and
the world weighing upon your shoulders. This movie looks amazing,
it sounds amazing. See it in imax. Have the wheel
screeching in your ears. I don't love when the conflict
comes in. And when the conflict does come in, it's
super rushed and it's just kind of like a race car.
(29:38):
It's just driven right past. Doesn't matter. The cops say
it doesn't matter. I would say everyone outside of Brad Pitt, No,
I didn't even care about that part. Thirty three Hot
Dogs thirty three.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Okay, I was thirty three yesterday, I'm thirty two.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Today, so I get it. We're one of the same there.
We both went in with the same expectation and it
met our expectation.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Good spoilers spiler, spoiler spiler, it's really not much to
spoil here.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
The quote unquote twist in this movie is Tobias Menzies
Peter Banning. He is Harvey Bardem's Ruben Servantes, his right
hand man in the board. It actually turns out he's
working against Ruben and he's the one that dimes out
or tries to. He falsifies those papers and he's trying
to get the team to lose that he can essentially
(30:22):
make an offer and make some money on this team.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
I didn't mind it. It worked well enough, right.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
He was better. I think if that character was better,
I would have been cool with it. But I thought
that him in general, he felt like a nothing.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Yeah, but it's supposed to think. I think it's supposed
to be like that because it's like we weren't really
rooting four against him anyway. So then when you know,
when he goes down, you're like, all right, whatever, I
don't know, You're right, he could have been better. But again,
that's that's more writing, right, Like the script is weak.
It's not a strong script.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
You are absolutely correct. Brad Pitt also wins the final
race and he leaves his body, So I was.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Curious what was gonna happen there. I did like that
Pierce makes the sacrifice for Sonny Hayes. I thought we
were gonna get a bit of a bittersweet where Pitt
makes the sacrifice again.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah, I did like that ending. It was good.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
I actually thought that Kerrie Condon and Brad Pitt had
legitimate chemistry too, so that was good.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I didn't necessarily need that.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
You need to shoehorn a little love affair into this
whole thing. They could have been platonic, but they're both
hot people, So what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Hot people? That's what happened.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
That's what it is. That's the rule of society hot.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Like I mentioned earlier, race is what three through four
was all Brad Pitt doing technicalities on the race track.
And I was so confused.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I was, Yes, So what I didn't know, and this
may be true or not, is like, if you win
a race, you automatically get another three years, which was
the whole point of them winning that final race, right,
And but you can score points for finishing the top ten.
I knew that shit, but I didn't know like the
three year window thing. So that was like the big
stakes amongst at all. And and then maybe that's why
(32:02):
this movie was never gonna be as good as Top
Gun Maverick, right, because the stakes are never going to
be as high as the United States versus another country,
you know.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Which by the way, in Top Gun Maverick, that's who
it was against. It was just another country. We're not
saying who it is, right, just another country.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
It's so like going into this movie, it's just I
think it's hard to feel either way strongly either way.
It's hard to love it, it's hard to hate it.
It's a baseline good sports movie.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Because I also didn't really know who any of the
other drivers were, and none of the other drivers had
anything against this race team well because they were so
bad and even when they were playing dirty though.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
So the two main stays in F one, and they
have been for seven or eight years now are Lewis
Hamilton and Max Vers Stoppin. So those two names I know,
and they mentioned both in the final race. It's with
against Lewis Hamilton Hamilton, you see verstopping a couple times
throughout this movie, so they did it also did a
good job of like setting it in somewhat of a
real world, which I think some people would appreciate. I
(33:04):
just everything besides the script in this movie was very
good to great. But because the script's not great, it
just it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
You know, do you want to see Sonny come back
and race Tom Cruise inn F two?
Speaker 3 (33:17):
So, and now I'm curious because you had mentioned that
to me before I saw this movie, And no, I don't.
We got we got a good little cherry on top
of Sonny's story. I don't need more of Sonny Hayes.
As much as I love Brad Pitt.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
What if they're racing on the beach shirtless?
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Okay, maybe maybe just son of a bitch.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
You brought me right back in. Actually that's a good
question here. I'll ask you who was shirtless more this year,
Brad Pitt in this movie or Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
We did get like the one main scene where Cruise
has to strip and get out of that wet suit
and he's in his tighty whities.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
But Brad brad Pitt.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Maybe this is what I'm getting at when I'm talking
about Gray's movie star Vault, Brad Pitt, shirtless with pants,
closercond guy on the planet, cool serking guy of all time,
of all time, shirtless with pants, Brad Pitt number one
by a mile.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
By the way, they're both in their sixties. Is Brad
Pitt sixty he's sixty one. Tom Cruise is sixty two.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
That is so fucking impressive because Brad Pitt still looks
like a fucking athlete in this movie. He looks like
he's forty two.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
You could title the movie. You can't call it F two.
That's not a real thing. That's a joke. A serious
title is Shirtless Gilfs on a beach.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
The other part of F one that I learned in
the Netflix series is there's an F two, three, and four.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
There's minor leagues for F one.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
So there's drivers that work their way up from F
four up to F one.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Oh So would Idris or not Idris? Would Joshua Pierce?
Would he have been sent down to like two, three
or four?
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Yeah, he probably would have drove an F two had
he not found a spot in F one.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
And then I'm assuming that if he gets sent down
from F one. It's gonna take him winning a lot
in F two to then get another spot in F
one after failing so poorly.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yeah, something something to that effect.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Yeah, are you done with that one?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Yeah, it's it's a good movie. If you got time,
go see it. Good popcorn movie.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
It's hard to talk about as you just listened to
us too, idiots try to talk about this movie. But
if you like Brad Pitt, you'll like this movie.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Let's get into and maxa could be anything it could
be about. And Mac I would like to talk to
you about Dix oh Cox all right, Sporting's good, Sporting.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Goods Oh sure, sure sure.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
And I think the biggest Dix, the cleanest dicks, the
best dis is in Boston, Boston, the one on Newburn,
not on Newbury, on Boylston Street. And I was in
there yesterday. And this is a serious conversation.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
This hate advertisement. What's going on right now?
Speaker 1 (35:52):
This is a real conversation I had with my four
year old son. Everyone's gonna say this is made up,
This is AI No, no, no, this is.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
How you didn't tweet it out. If you tweeted out,
people would say that's falsest.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Okay, so what happened? We were in there right now,
fifty percent off Drew Holliday in Christop's Porzingis jerseys. They
have been traded, not to get sportsy. They have been
traded from the Celtics. Yes, I said, they're still both champions.
It's okay for you to keep on wearing these jerseys.
So we're in the kids section, We're looking at them
(36:24):
and he looks at me and he goes He goes, Daddy,
I want the black number seven jersey And I said, oh, no,
that's brown, and he goes, no, it's black. And then
he goes, well, no, how about the number nine jersey?
And I go, oh, that's white. He goes, no, it's black.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
What does mine say, dude? What does mine say that?
That was a real life situation?
Speaker 1 (36:47):
There a real life situation. Who's on front?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
It makes sense? Yeah, that makes sense. So what jersey
did you end up purchasing?
Speaker 1 (36:53):
None? They didn't have any smalls. They also had their
backs because Raphael Devers jerseys also on sale fifty percent off,
but it had to say Devers on the back. You
couldn't just get a Red Sox number eleven okay, they
I agree with.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Your sentiment, though, in general, if it was a beloved
player on a championship team, that jersey becomes timeless. You
could buy a Devers, you can buy a Holiday, you
can buy a Porzingis, you could wear forever.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Oh I went. I had to buy them online after
I went on Fanatics Big Sale. I saved sixty six
dollars on my on my buy so pretty good. It
doesn't matter how much I spent. I say it on
sixty six dollars Mac. Where can the folks find us?

In a true speaker box and the love below theme. Here, Mac,
we have both created intros to this episode. Do you
want your intro or do you want my intro?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We'll do them both. We'll do them.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
We're gonna do both obviously. Do you want to go
first or second?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Though, I'll go first. I'll go first. Goo.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Mac, we just watched a movie about cars and racing vehicles,
and I ask you, what was your dream vehicle when
you were a kid?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Great question. When I was in first or second grade,
I wanted to be a taxi cab driver, So that
would be my dream car.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
That is not a car, that is a profession. Did
you want to be the Jimmy Fallon, Queen Latifa type
of taxi cab.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Driver or well as the writer of the movie Taxicab
starring Was it just taxi? It was just taxi starring
Jimmy Fallon and Queen Latifa. Yes, that was my dream.
I wanted that specific job with that. Okay, all right,
how about you? Mac?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
You ask me, hey, Max, do my so I'll give
you the young, realistic one, the one if I made
millions and millions of dollars when I stumbled upon the
McLaren F one as like a ten or eleven year old.
This is the first ever street legal vehicle that had
the driver's seat in the middle and then two passenger
seats on the side, so it was a three in
(01:17):
the front. Well it's just one row really, and it
was modeled, of course, after f one vehicles with the
center driver. I thought that was the coolest fucking thing ever.
And I think the car looks awesome, the more realistic thing.
I loved the Plymouth Prowler as a kid, the open
wheel design on the front. Really loved that fucking thing.
I also had an affinity for the old school Dodge Durango.
(01:41):
I liked the look of that. So those are the
three that really bounced around my head as a child.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Want to ask me mine my open question.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Kol You had a dueling banjos type of situation here,
I had one.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
You had one. What is your opening question?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Could you drive a race car?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Thousand percent? Yes?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I actually think I'd be pretty good at it, you
know what, I fucking love and I don't do it
enough because there's no room for a thirty six year
old man to be racing go karts goat carts like
the K one experience F one Boston. All that shit
is a blast, and I get super into it, really
into it. I also think it has a little bit
to do as we've seen with Lewis Hamilton and these
(02:21):
new school F one racers. They grow up in these simulators,
these video game style training systems, and I've always been
good at video games, so I think. I don't think
I ever could race professionally, but I could race the
car and not crash it. F one's obviously a little
different than fucking Nascar, just going around left hand turns,
right hand, Yeah, left hand turns for fucking three hundred miles.
(02:44):
I would love to drive an F one vehicle, though
I'm I like going fast. That's one of my favorite
things to do in a vehicle, and any any sort
of mode of transportation, snowmobiling.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
You ever go snowmobiling and goo.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
No, it's incredibly awesome, and you can go very fast.
It is dangerous good. Yes, I already know the answer.
But do you think you.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Could drive a race car? No?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I could not.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I don't even know if you break the speed limit
on the highway.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Here's the thing I don't like going fast, and the
reason Why is because when I'm going to speed, whether
it's driving, skiing, snowboarding anything like that, I feel like
I'm out of control, okay, and I hate feeling out
of control. I like to be in control of what
I'm doing and my surroundings. Also, especially with F one,
(03:27):
I feel like that's a real claustrophobic situation.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
So there is something to be said about that, sure,
and I don't like that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I don't know if I would want to do it
for three hours, but I'd like to do a couple
of laps, you know, see what that's all.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
That's what you tell all of your lady friends.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
One good three? Yeah, job three, King of Queen good
Mill Street, Goo.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Entertaime go And I'm Mac.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And we have a need for going a regular speed.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
You do?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah? Me?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I like to go over the limit and test the limits.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Doesn't he know the speed limit is sixty five? Why
is he going so fast? Why is he up? My
bum you?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Today we are discussing F one the movie.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
It was just called F one up until like two
weeks ago, and then they retitled it to F one
the Movie because apparently people might have been confused.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Who knows my wife hates when I tell her that
I'm going the pace of traffic.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, typically if it's if it's if you're in Massachusetts,
if you're going the speed of traffic in the left Land,
it's gonna be ten to twenty miles.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Well but even if I'm yeah, if I'm going like
seventy fives, why aren't you going faster pace of traffic?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Fair enough?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Fair enough? Goo? You won't get pulled over for that.
So that's that's.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
How I live my life. I have so many driving
speeding tickets in my younger days.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I've been the fast lane Goo. Good's life in the
middle E. I f won.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
The movie Goode just opened this past weekend, fifty five
point six million dollars on the domestic open, one hundred
and forty four million total globally. Uh good, This is
very interesting. We have not had a confirmed budget yet.
I've read anywhere between two hundred and three hundred million.
That is a drastic difference from two to three And honestly,
it might be the difference between this movie making money
(05:26):
or not, because as well as this getting reviewed so far,
it's it doesn't quite seem to have the push as
Maverick had a couple of years now it just isn't
hitting the same sea.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
You know when you look at the movie too, it
doesn't have that like extra little bit of magic or
sparkle that Maverick had too.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
No, I agree, I totally agree, And so we'll see
how this plays out. But obviously pretty solid opening number
one of the box office. This is a PG thirteen
action drama in sports movie sub genre car action and
a motorsport.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
So one second, so I know that we're not talking
about this movie, but I am so happy that M
Threeagan two point zero bombed. I have never been happier,
and like, I want other things to succeed. But when
I saw the trailer to M Threeagan two point zero,
I said, what the fuck is this? I hate this
and I haven't even seen the movie.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
And they've been marketing it for like six months, so
that's real bad.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Feel bad for them.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Goo F one The movie has a run time of
one hundred and fifty five minutes. I don't know what
the average run time of an F one races. I
should have looked that up. That would have been a
nice little fun fact for the folks.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Oh do you know about F one racing, I know
a little bit, so when they were doing their technicalities
in this movie, you were like, ah, bump drafting.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I knew a little bit of it because I watched
the first season of the Netflix series, which I think
is on like season eight now, but it is. It
is an informative series, and really what that series really
does is dive into the team dynamic of the sport,
which I don't think people really understand. You know, as Americans,
we know so little about F one. Most Americans know
us a little about Nascar, But Nascar it's one team,
(07:06):
one driver. F one is one team, two drivers, so
it's a different dynamic altogether. It's a pretty interesting dynamic.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Honestly, Can you drive a stick?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
No? No?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Well, I mean in the two attempts I've had, I've
stalled out both times. I think if I spent an hour,
I'd be able to do it, but I don't want
to learn how to do it.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Is there a debate online about this? I heard someone
talking about it the other day of if your plane
was crashing, and they said, can someone land this plane?
Would you volunteer to land the plane?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
This has been a debate for like three years.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Okay, well you've never brought it up. I'm the first
one bringing it to the table.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
So I'm pretty sure we've talked about.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
This party to the party.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I absolutely as long as you have people in your
ear telling you what to do, I could take instructions.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I'm a problem solver. I could absolutely land a plane.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
And asked me the answer is no, answer is no.
I get the yips when I'm parallel parking. I turn
into fucking Austin Power.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
You know, my pal Jimmy Brennan works on space planes
and he has a lot of pilot friends, and so
I asked him when this was hot in the streets
a couple of years ago. He goes, Honestly, you probably could.
He's like, people are kind of making it sound like
it's too easy. But as long as you have someone
in your ear, you know, you have the flight tower
would be probably talking you through it. And there are
(08:26):
a million buttons, but we just saw goo the rehearsal.
Nathan Fielder became a pilot. Now, he did hundreds of
hours of training, but it's not as improbable as a
lot of people seem to make it out. And I
think it's also pretty intuitive and so if you have
any inkling of I think, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I don't know, Like I don't think I would volunteer.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
But if the room was silent for like ten seconds,
the play was like, all right, I'll give it a try.
Because we're gonna we're gonna die either way. I might
as well take my life into my hands, right, But
you you would rather just put your life on someone else.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You did?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Just see the series premiere of Tailspin. It's a four
episode arc, of course, And you know, Blue, I'll just
do what Balue does. You pull up on the handle
as quick as you can and just hold it up.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
That's how you do it, curve up like that.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You know what else I have the yips with right now?
I mentioned my parallel parking. I get the yips sometimes.
Right now, I have the yips when it comes to
breaking eggs.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Oh, so, how do you do if.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I'm using If I'm doing fried eggs, I just crack
them right on the skillet. But the issue right now
is that when I'm cracking them, they aren't fully cracking,
and then the egg is like seeping out of like
a couple holes and it's not fully cracking in half.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
So I usually just do a scramby because it's the
easiest one. Usually too, like, I'll do the egg into
a bowl, mix them up, three or four eggs.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Right, So I got a fork. So what I do?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Goo, I hold the egg, well, crack it with the
fork because it makes a nice scene, and then it
works well. It works quite well because I also find
sometimes the consistence I mean the skillet, you know, the
if we try to do on the side of the
bowl of skill. Sometimes it leaks in there. You get
the shell in there. I don't care for that.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
You know. The hack to get in the shell pieces
out though, right.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I use my fingers.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
No, you use the shell, use the half shell, and
it scoops the other piece of the shell easier than
your finger does.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I usually put my finger on the hot skillet.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Try the fork method. Goo EV won the movie Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
On Roddy T's eighty three percent from the critics, ninety
seven percent from the audience. I totally understand it a
sixty eight on Metacritic.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I get all of that.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
The critics are saying, like, baseline, this is a good movie.
The audience is like, yeah, we love an underdog sports movie.
I that's what we're dealing with.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
That's what they were going for. Baseline, good movie, that's it.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, I think I think they accomplished that. Yeah, I'll
give them that. I'll give them that.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
And to be honest with you, I enjoyed this movie
and as it was climaxing, I was like somewhat interested
in it. I wasn't super invested, but I kind of
was because Brad Pitt's the man, right, and that's a
big part of this movie.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Goo.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
This movie was written by Aaron Krueger and Joseph Kazinski.
Kazinsky obviously the director as well. You would know Aaron
Krueger from Scream Three, Reindeer Games, The Ring, Transformers, Revenge
of the Fallen Transformers, Dark of the Moon, Transformers, Age
of Extinction, Dumbo, a Mac and Gooo favorite, and Top
Gun Maverick. Also Kazinsky. This is only his second writing credit.
(11:18):
His only other one was Twisters, which I don't even
think he directed again directed by Kazinsky. He directed Tron Legacy, Oblivion,
only the Brave Top Gun Maverick in.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Spiderhead, so yeah, he didn't direct Twisters.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
And I would say about Kazinski, he has really figured
out how to put the common theater go or the
viewer in the driver's seat of these action movies, these
sports movies. He does a really good job of setting
the scene and making you feel what maybe a driver
a pilot would feel. The way he shoots things is
(11:52):
really good for this genre.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You mentioned the movie Reindeer Games. Maybe the greatest moment
in podcasting his was on how did this get made?
That is the Paul Sheer, June Dian Rayfield, Jason Manzukus
podcast where they look at bad movies and they break
it down, they talk about it, and when Jason Manzukus
puts two and two together that Ben Affleck's character is
(12:15):
named Rudy in the movie, like Rudolph, he loses his
mind and it is the greatest like like come to
moment I have ever heard ever.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yeah, it's true light bulb moment. That is awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Uhgu if you are a Kazinski guy, and I think
at this point a lot of people are. He's got
two projects in the works here. Upcoming is a Miami
Vice movie, which might be cool and fun in the
Kazinski style, and then an untitled UAP disclosure thriller. I
don't know what that's gonna be, but maybe that'll be
great as well. Synopsis for F one the movie A
Formula one driver comes out of retirement to mentor and
(12:51):
team up with a younger driver.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
To change some diapers.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
That is, that is what this is.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I didn't know that was given the things for senior citizens.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Oh oh. This movie stars Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes,
Dampson Interest as Joshua Pears, Javier Bardem is Reuben Servantes
Servantes Servantes, Terry Conda is Kate McKenna, and Tobias Menzies
as Peter Banning.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
So they all did good, but we can say this
without the coolness of Brad Pitt. I don't know if
they pull this off.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah, there's two or three people on this planet that
can carry this movie the way Brad Pitt does. Brad
Pitt in his elderly age, what's he fifty five sixty
years old? He's getting up there in his age. He's
still inherently cool, yes, and also not just like cool
guy sport coote cool athletic like yes, legit built, looks
(13:42):
like an athlete and really pulls off this role like
no other.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
And he carries us, especially when the dialogue in this
movie it was written in one liners. There is no like,
there's no paragraph, it's just one liner back and forth,
and it's delivered as cool as possible.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Yeah, I thought the script for this movie was pretty weak.
It's not a very good script. It just is a
bare bones sports underdog story that they throw in uh
or they throw at one of the greatest stars in
the world. And because of that, because of that and
the direction it works.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
It's also wildly predictable. Yeah, there's kind of conflict, but
we don't know who it's against for most of the movie.
There's kind of a love interest. We do get some
of that, but also like when you really hit the
apex of like what Sonny is going through, it kind
(14:37):
of gets rushed and then you don't you don't feel
like how important it is.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
You mean apex racing.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Apex racing. That's the reason why it came to my mind.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Uh goo.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I also so you speak of the love and just
carry Condon. You know what I discovered during this movie.
I have a Kerry Condon thing I really liked.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I think you could put anyone in any movie. MAC
will see them and then say, you know what, I
have a thing for that person.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I very much really enjoyed Kerry Condon in this movie.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I also really liked Harvey or Bardem in a subdued role.
We don't see Bardem in a subdual role.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
He's pretty loud in this movie, though it's loud.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
In the way that an owner is.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
But as far as Harrier Bardem goes, I thought, I
thought he did a nice job being a subdued character.
For the most part, I thought the weakest character in
this movie was Joshua Pierce played by Damson Indrists.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I've never seen him in anything before, fighting out of
his weight class a little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
With the other actors on the screen, it just it
didn't come across as believable, I guess as everyone else.
And then our quote unquote bad sort of here is
Tobias Menzies as Peter Banning. He was okay, he was okay,
Like he's the one that you know, there's a whole
thing surrounded upon and the.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Thing I think we're also looking at it, so we're
comparing it to top Gun Maverick. I have a shirt
on hashtag frar, but you look at it, and so
Brad Pitt and top Gun. Maverick is not Brad Pitt,
it's Tom Cruise. And the asshole in that movie is
Glenn Powell. Glenn Powell is such a better asshole than
(16:11):
Damson Damson Idris. Yeah, the way that Powell plays the asshole,
you believe that he is that cocky, he is that confident,
and then if there is an issue where he has
to kind of take it down a peg, like, you
can see that shell kind of crack on him. Damson
Idris or let's not even blame the actor, but Joshua
(16:31):
Pierce is just such a week I didn't get any
of that cocky, confident attitude from him.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Yeah, and to you, you know, it's a good point too,
And I just said it two minutes ago. I shouldn't
be as harsh on Joshua or on Damson A. DRIs
because the script in the writing isn't great in this movie,
so he didn't have much to work with. And I'm
trying not to compare it to Maverick. Of course, that's
what really could how Kazinski, you know, made his name,
because that movie is just inherently the the the and
(17:00):
the stakes are just better than it's gonna be in
this movie. Like this movie, like, the stakes aren't that
high because it's not life and death.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Really.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
I mean, they try to punch it up to that point,
but it's it's just not at that point.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
They also punch it up too late.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I do like that they're.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Dropping in you know what happened to Pitt, you know,
thirty years ago, and why he got to this point.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
It's just just the script isn't great.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
It's as simple as that, right, It's just it's your
classic sports underdog story you've seen a thousand times, and
now we've seen the old dog come in teach the
young you know, brash character. We've seen that a million times.
We like it though, because the directing is great. We
haven't been put in the cockpit of a racing movie
like this ever. Also, Hans Zimmer's scores, yes, as it
always is. It really helps this movie. Props this movie up.
(17:46):
And of course Brad Pitt is great. So those three
things prop up a week script Separate from Hans Zimmer,
the soundtrack of this movie.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Was not great.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
It was like lazy. It didn't add to the movie.
It might have taken away from it a little.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Bit, you know, What it reminded me of was Air.
Every time in Air, where they put on a song
from the soundtrack, It almost took me out of the scene.
It didn't add to any of the scenes.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
It actually what I felt like in Kazinski wrote this movie,
so maybe there's some relation there. It felt like all
the songs that didn't make the cut for Twisters got
shoved into F one. That's what it felt like to me.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I don't know why, but I thought of what's that
Lincoln Park song of what Up?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
It's called what I've Done?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah, I'm not picturing that song in this movie.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Now. That's the end of the first Transfers movie. That's it.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
That's the reason why I thought of it. Because one
of these people wrote Transformers.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Right, yeah, No, he didn't write the first one, though
he wrote the second, third, and fourth ones, so.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
He has nothing to do with that.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Then Wood and.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Then Optimus Primes calling to the Stars shit back at
Fox two thousand and seven.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Shut up, So we get to the non agone. Yeah, yeah,
all right, fun factor. Driving in cars is fun. I
was confused at points. I didn't know how long laps were,
I didn't know the rules of F one, But I
did learn about teamwork.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
So what they didn't they talk about in this movie,
they don't show it. Uh, they showed a little bit
when uh when Sonny played by Pitt and Joshua Pierce,
the younger one are like qualifying at home at their
home track. A big part of F one racing is
the qualifying before the race and that that's where your
pole position is. So they didn't they didn't muddy things up.
They kept it pretty simple, which I liked. But this
(19:27):
movie's fun because people are driving shit fast and there's crashes, Like,
it's fun.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
It's a fun movie.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
How about Satisfactor? Were you satisfied a bit?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Just enough? Right?
Speaker 3 (19:37):
It's the sports underdog story and we get just enough
of the satisfactor at the end to be like, Okay,
it was worth the ride.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
You're not a has been here, never was I did.
We can go forever without hearing that line ever again.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yeah, that's that's a that's not a bad call.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
When they threw it at us, like, Okay, it makes
sense in here because that's that's what this script is.
But I think we can stop with this. Yeah, agreed, borometer,
they did a good job of I was never really bored.
I never really felt the run time, but what we
got like the the overall average score of the runtime.
(20:14):
I don't think like there's super high peaks, but there's
also no low valleys.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yeah, and for being two hours and thirty five minutes,
it's on the longer side. You're right For a movie
that I didn't love, I also didn't I wasn't that
bored because a lot of the downtime is like you're
hanging out with Pitt or it's Pitt, you know, doing
this or doing that. And also a really strong score
(20:40):
helps those in between things like Hans Zimmer helps this
movie along big time.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You know what the person next to me did at
the end of the movie. They cheered and fist pumped.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
And then the screen paused mid fist pump.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I just looked around him, like, what the fuck is happening?
Where is mac? I want to annoy him? Anita Brine
next to him? Sit by myself with these screenings with
these people, how about a quater world? Is this better
or worse than nineteen ninety fives cinematic classic water World?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
It is better, But this movie could have used a
little more water, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
It could have used more water and does water World
have more charm?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
No, I don't think so either Halloween. Will this wane
over time? No, I think it's as solid as that
will be. It's always going to be this.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I gotta be honest, already gone down one dog for me.
So but I think I'm at I think I'm at
where it's gonna land.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I mean I walked on the theater going all right, okay,
and you know I'm gonna say right now, all right.
Do you think if I learn about F one I'll
like this movie more or less?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I don't really think it affects the viewing, which is
which is a positive for this movie to the masses,
if you know, obviously F one is way more popular
around the world, but if to an American audience, you
didn't really need to do I know anything about F
one coming in, And again they didn't muddy it up
too much with like diving into too much of the
team aspect.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Because I did see Sam Libby posting about it. I
guess he's a big F one guy.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
He's a well, a lot of people watched that Netflix
series and now are F one fan.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Right, And he was talking about like I had to
suspend my knowledge of F one at certain points to
not ruin the movie.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Yeah, because again they're trying to market this to a
wider audience, so you don't want to It's.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Like me, yes Pants, ten City Excite bike Mania, did
anything get you going?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I really liked and this again, this is a classic trope.
I really liked Brad Pitt's chaos strategies. Right, that was fun,
like the old guy, you know, bucking the trends, going
against things and stuff working.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
That was fun for me.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I just thought that that was all like, as soon
as you brought him on to this team, he's gonna
go outside the box. And all of you nerd, all
of you egg heads that have your science, you don't
have this past experience that Brad Pit has.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
And because the movie is like a baseline intensity because
of the racing, and that is like a certain amount
of intense. There is no real pens tent moment. But
the action in the racing is pretty good throughout, you
know what I mean, like it it holds your interest throughout.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I'm still I'm a little bit like Okay, So Brad
Pitt went in there and he designed a car better
than someone that designed spaceships.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
No, he didn't design the car. He said, hey, here's
where where we can make up a margin. I don't
know how to do it, but here's what I here's
where we can make up the margin. Cause he gets
in the car and he can feel the car in
and out of the corners. And obviously someone who's designing
and engineering pieces to a.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Car or a car can't feel that. She's just seeing
the simulations.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
You know, he's saying, throw your computers away. I got
it all up here.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
No, because she needed the computer to design.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
What he was talking about now, a new computer, one
that he designed. He made the new computer.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
He is the computer.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
That would have been a fucking reveal, right there. Plemonade.
When life gives you plemings, you say, Jesse Plemmons is
the best, and he shows up, but he makes everything better.
Did anyone do that for you? Did any small role
do that for you? Even the bad guy in this movie,
he's not a good enough bad guy.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
I liked the team leader guy, but not Plemonade level.
He was just a fun little side character. Obviously, Brad
Pitt's making Plemenade the whole time. But he is the
movie so he can't really award.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
No, you can't give it him.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
This movie did.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Lack, you know, a tertiary character that like punched up
a scene or two.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Max credit Union, who are you giving credit to?
Speaker 3 (24:43):
I mean, it's gotta go to Brad Pitt, right, This
movie is Brad Pitt. This is what we go and
see Brad Pitt movies because of shit like this.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
The whole movie is Brad Pitt.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
For those of you tarty to the Mac and Goo party,
we rate everything on a forty hot dog ratings system. Mac,
you forgot to mention this earlier. The movie also received
forty million dollars in sponsoring their fake race car company.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I did like that dynamic of it and go you
know me. I love customizing things in video games and whatnots.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
As do you.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
I liked that they built up like a good enough
brand and it looked legitimate compared to all the real
F one brandings.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Goo yes for me, No, this I didn't. I just
said one fun fact. They didn't give me my hot
dog score.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
You thought I'm gonna go first.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
You thought that was my hot dog score.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I'm gonna go first.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
You thought that was my hot dog score. You think
so little of me. My hot Dog score is a
fun fact.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I thought this movie was exactly what it needed to
be to be Baseline good.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Right. It definitely could have been better, could have been way.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
You agree with me that if you saw the trailer
for this movie, you know what the movie is exactly
gonna be.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Pretty much. And because Brad Pitt is awesome, it works.
Because Kozinski can direct these action, you know, racing type things,
it works, and because Hans Zimmer's score is amazing, it works.
So I have it at thirty two hot Dogs, like Baseline,
pretty good movie, not great. It's my number six twenty
twenty five release. But that said, it's tied with like
(26:18):
four other movies in that range. So maybe in that
six to nine range, it falls just behind a movie
good that I watched last week now streaming on Peacock,
which I actually drafted in the movie draft, a movie
called The Ballad of Wallace Island. I recommend. It's streaming
for free on Peacock right now. It's just behind that,
and it's tied with Novacane, Companion and Lee Loan Stitch.
(26:38):
So if you liked those movies, or if you understand
what we're talking about like baseline, good movie, not any
world breakers.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I think you're gonna like this movie.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I already gave you my hot dog score. The movie
got forty million bucks from sponsors. How dare you step
up on.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Me ergo forty hot dogs?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I don't know how this was not released on Father's Day.
This is a dad movie. This is a This is
a forty plus go there. You might be feeling like
you're out of your prime, but you look at Brad Pitt.
He's on the screen. He's teaching those little fucking babies
how to drive cars, he's changing diapers. He's got the
(27:14):
grit behind him. He doesn't need school education. He has
street education.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
You know what this movie was missing in regards to that.
It has like the punched up rock country vibes. Right,
It needed like an eighties ballad type of vibe to
really send this movie home.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
This is old guy porn. This is you sitting back going.
You know, you're in fifties. You're sitting in your lazy
boy and you're like, I could do this. Yeah, Brad
Pitt's out.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I'm not gone, but I could get out of this chair.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Right, I could get out of this lazy boy. I'm
not gonna have you ever had a lazy boy chair.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I have owned a lazy boy for about seven I.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Forgot that you're a silver spoon, gray poopon boy. Brad
Pitt is cool, and that really carries the movie, especially
when every piece of dialogue is for him to sound cool,
and only certain people can pull that off. Brad Pitt's
one of them, you.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Know what I was thinking about at one point in
this movie.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
And he doesn't have the awards, so it's a hard
claim to make.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I think Brad Pitt is the greatest actor that's ever lived.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I think he legitimately is, because at this point he's
really playing cool guy Brad Pitt for the most part.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
But I think he's the only actor that I would.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
See any any movie.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
When you say that, I think you could argue best
movie star ever.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Then, okay, that's sort of what I'm getting at. Yeah, yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Well, if the movie wants to play with technicalities, I'm
gonna play with technicalities too, because Brad Pitt went out
there and Bill belichicked fucking torpedo bat at everyone in
those first couple of races, and everyone's like, I don't
know what he's doing. When if the viewer at home
where I don't understand F one, I'm picking up on it.
I think they would have too predictable. It's exactly what
(29:01):
you expected from the trailer. It lacks a true bad guy.
For most of the movie, I was saying, who is
this against? Who are we trying to expectations?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
That's the underdog story, right, That's that's the bad guy?
Is you just inherently that beating?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Beating too true to life. I don't want that in
my movies. I don't want to deal with expectations and
the world weighing upon your shoulders. This movie looks amazing,
it sounds amazing. See it in imax. Have the wheel
screeching in your ears. I don't love when the conflict
comes in. And when the conflict does come in, it's
super rushed and it's just kind of like a race car.
(29:38):
It's just driven right past. Doesn't matter. The cops say
it doesn't matter. I would say everyone outside of Brad Pitt, No,
I didn't even care about that part. Thirty three Hot
Dogs thirty three.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Okay, I was thirty three yesterday, I'm thirty two.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Today, so I get it. We're one of the same there.
We both went in with the same expectation and it
met our expectation.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Good spoilers spiler, spoiler spiler, it's really not much to
spoil here.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
The quote unquote twist in this movie is Tobias Menzies
Peter Banning. He is Harvey Bardem's Ruben Servantes, his right
hand man in the board. It actually turns out he's
working against Ruben and he's the one that dimes out
or tries to. He falsifies those papers and he's trying
to get the team to lose that he can essentially
(30:22):
make an offer and make some money on this team.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
I didn't mind it. It worked well enough, right.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
He was better. I think if that character was better,
I would have been cool with it. But I thought
that him in general, he felt like a nothing.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Yeah, but it's supposed to think. I think it's supposed
to be like that because it's like we weren't really
rooting four against him anyway. So then when you know,
when he goes down, you're like, all right, whatever, I
don't know, You're right, he could have been better. But again,
that's that's more writing, right, Like the script is weak.
It's not a strong script.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
You are absolutely correct. Brad Pitt also wins the final
race and he leaves his body, So I was.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Curious what was gonna happen there. I did like that
Pierce makes the sacrifice for Sonny Hayes. I thought we
were gonna get a bit of a bittersweet where Pitt
makes the sacrifice again.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah, I did like that ending. It was good.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
I actually thought that Kerrie Condon and Brad Pitt had
legitimate chemistry too, so that was good.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I didn't necessarily need that.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
You need to shoehorn a little love affair into this
whole thing. They could have been platonic, but they're both
hot people, So what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Hot people? That's what happened.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
That's what it is. That's the rule of society hot.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Like I mentioned earlier, race is what three through four
was all Brad Pitt doing technicalities on the race track.
And I was so confused.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I was, Yes, So what I didn't know, and this
may be true or not, is like, if you win
a race, you automatically get another three years, which was
the whole point of them winning that final race, right,
And but you can score points for finishing the top ten.
I knew that shit, but I didn't know like the
three year window thing. So that was like the big
stakes amongst at all. And and then maybe that's why
(32:02):
this movie was never gonna be as good as Top
Gun Maverick, right, because the stakes are never going to
be as high as the United States versus another country,
you know.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Which by the way, in Top Gun Maverick, that's who
it was against. It was just another country. We're not
saying who it is, right, just another country.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
It's so like going into this movie, it's just I
think it's hard to feel either way strongly either way.
It's hard to love it, it's hard to hate it.
It's a baseline good sports movie.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Because I also didn't really know who any of the
other drivers were, and none of the other drivers had
anything against this race team well because they were so
bad and even when they were playing dirty though.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
So the two main stays in F one, and they
have been for seven or eight years now are Lewis
Hamilton and Max Vers Stoppin. So those two names I know,
and they mentioned both in the final race. It's with
against Lewis Hamilton Hamilton, you see verstopping a couple times
throughout this movie, so they did it also did a
good job of like setting it in somewhat of a
real world, which I think some people would appreciate. I
(33:04):
just everything besides the script in this movie was very
good to great. But because the script's not great, it
just it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
You know, do you want to see Sonny come back
and race Tom Cruise inn F two?
Speaker 3 (33:17):
So, and now I'm curious because you had mentioned that
to me before I saw this movie, And no, I don't.
We got we got a good little cherry on top
of Sonny's story. I don't need more of Sonny Hayes.
As much as I love Brad Pitt.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
What if they're racing on the beach shirtless?
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Okay, maybe maybe just son of a bitch.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
You brought me right back in. Actually that's a good
question here. I'll ask you who was shirtless more this year,
Brad Pitt in this movie or Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
We did get like the one main scene where Cruise
has to strip and get out of that wet suit
and he's in his tighty whities.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
But Brad brad Pitt.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Maybe this is what I'm getting at when I'm talking
about Gray's movie star Vault, Brad Pitt, shirtless with pants,
closercond guy on the planet, cool serking guy of all time,
of all time, shirtless with pants, Brad Pitt number one
by a mile.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
By the way, they're both in their sixties. Is Brad
Pitt sixty he's sixty one. Tom Cruise is sixty two.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
That is so fucking impressive because Brad Pitt still looks
like a fucking athlete in this movie. He looks like
he's forty two.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
You could title the movie. You can't call it F two.
That's not a real thing. That's a joke. A serious
title is Shirtless Gilfs on a beach.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
The other part of F one that I learned in
the Netflix series is there's an F two, three, and four.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
There's minor leagues for F one.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
So there's drivers that work their way up from F
four up to F one.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Oh So would Idris or not Idris? Would Joshua Pierce?
Would he have been sent down to like two, three
or four?
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Yeah, he probably would have drove an F two had
he not found a spot in F one.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
And then I'm assuming that if he gets sent down
from F one. It's gonna take him winning a lot
in F two to then get another spot in F
one after failing so poorly.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yeah, something something to that effect.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Yeah, are you done with that one?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Yeah, it's it's a good movie. If you got time,
go see it. Good popcorn movie.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
It's hard to talk about as you just listened to
us too, idiots try to talk about this movie. But
if you like Brad Pitt, you'll like this movie.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Let's get into and maxa could be anything it could
be about. And Mac I would like to talk to
you about Dix oh Cox all right, Sporting's good, Sporting.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Goods Oh sure, sure sure.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
And I think the biggest Dix, the cleanest dicks, the
best dis is in Boston, Boston, the one on Newburn,
not on Newbury, on Boylston Street. And I was in
there yesterday. And this is a serious conversation.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
This hate advertisement. What's going on right now?
Speaker 1 (35:52):
This is a real conversation I had with my four
year old son. Everyone's gonna say this is made up,
This is AI No, no, no, this is.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
How you didn't tweet it out. If you tweeted out,
people would say that's falsest.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Okay, so what happened? We were in there right now,
fifty percent off Drew Holliday in Christop's Porzingis jerseys. They
have been traded, not to get sportsy. They have been
traded from the Celtics. Yes, I said, they're still both champions.
It's okay for you to keep on wearing these jerseys.
So we're in the kids section, We're looking at them
(36:24):
and he looks at me and he goes He goes, Daddy,
I want the black number seven jersey And I said, oh, no,
that's brown, and he goes, no, it's black. And then
he goes, well, no, how about the number nine jersey?
And I go, oh, that's white. He goes, no, it's black.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
What does mine say, dude? What does mine say that?
That was a real life situation?
Speaker 1 (36:47):
There a real life situation. Who's on front?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
It makes sense? Yeah, that makes sense. So what jersey
did you end up purchasing?
Speaker 1 (36:53):
None? They didn't have any smalls. They also had their
backs because Raphael Devers jerseys also on sale fifty percent off,
but it had to say Devers on the back. You
couldn't just get a Red Sox number eleven okay, they
I agree with.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Your sentiment, though, in general, if it was a beloved
player on a championship team, that jersey becomes timeless. You
could buy a Devers, you can buy a Holiday, you
can buy a Porzingis, you could wear forever.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Oh I went. I had to buy them online after
I went on Fanatics Big Sale. I saved sixty six
dollars on my on my buy so pretty good. It
doesn't matter how much I spent. I say it on
sixty six dollars Mac. Where can the folks find us?
