Speaker 1 (00:00):
Sidney Sweeney swipes back. It's soap naysayers, Tom Hollands a fraud,
Why this actor left Hollywood? Blake Lively's Delulu, no skibbitty
Justin Baldoni, and you can now get Chinese robots pregnant.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
All of that and so much more coming up here
on News Dump, Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our program
of whimsy to bring you a special news bulletin from
the international podcast News. A movie has just landed on
Amazon Prime, so foul, so putrid that this news dump
(00:37):
will be postponed until further notice, and this episode will
now be dedicated to this hots garbage.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
One good, three, yeah, three, King of Queen.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Mals Street and good And I'm Ran Davey. That's right,
he is not Mac and Davey. You fool. You thought
we were doing the news dump, but what we're actually
doing War of the World?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Are you like you? Yeah, I'm reading all these things
and I'm like, all right, I'm ready to do this.
Are we actually doing World of the World right now?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Hell? Yeah, we ass do it all. Let's do it, Oh, Davy,
I know that you and Keith have already done a
dork on this this movie question mark, what is this?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Well? Once given context to that, it makes a lot
more sense when you get a little bit of background,
because just watching the movie going in blind as I did,
it's not a movie.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
No, and this was shot during the pandemic.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
That would have been helpful to know ahead of time.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And what my question, worst thing from the pandemic probably
on Rotten Tomatoes right now, the audience is giving it
some love twenty six percent, but the critics.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Three have you read the positive reviews?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
No? Are they good?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Not? Really?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Is it people that are admiring it for how bad
it is? I am for sure, But is also the
critic saying this is an interesting concept when in fact
it's not.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Let me see all critics. I'm gonna I'm gonna see
what out of forty reviews, let's see, I'm going to
define the first positive one. It's certainly stupid, but it's
also a great deal of fun.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I'm not sure if it is. I'm not sure. Now.
I'm a huge fan of so bad It's Good movies.
This movie takes a long time to even get interestingly bad.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
And it's even bad to the point where like there's
photo shopping in this movie, and it's horrendous, like it
could have been done by like a five year old.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I also, for so much of this movie thought that
ice Cube, this movie stars ice Cube. I thought that
he was reading all of his lines off the computer screen,
because this entire movie is shot on a webcam, shot
on I right, shot on body cams. And then I
just saw on the honest trailer for it that you
(03:07):
can see the green screen in his glasses.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I have to look again because there's definitely a scene
and there's not to give it away, but he's explaining
what's going on to like a war room of like
generals and like high ranking officials, and it is absolutely
clear that he's reading off a piece of paper.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Also, the sense of urgency in his voice and delivery
of his lines. Ice Cube has one speed in how
he speaks, and that is smooth. There is no urgency
to like speed up how he's speaking. It's just not
the world is under attack and he's just going at
this past constantly. You better take those glasses off in
(03:45):
a second and say, God, damn.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Well, I just I want to see this is he
does this, He like rocks back and forth like all
mo like in a webcam and like is constantly touching
his glasses.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Throughout the movie. He's constantly taking his glasses off to
then you know his eyes touch his nose, say god, damn, damn.
I bet that when he saw the Metacritics score of six,
that's what he said.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Oh he's going RTA. Come on, come on, come on, like,
that's that's the all I got you.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I got got you like, No, you don't. You could
have cut and paste so many of the points of
this movie into other points. It's him saying the same
things over and over again.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
And could you believe that people like Eva Longoria and
Clark greg we're told, okay, take your phone, put the
forward facing camera on it, and just say these lines,
and we'll give you a million dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Eva Longoria in this movie might be the most non
playable character in a video game that I have ever
heard speak. It is all exposition, and the amount of
fake depths that we get in this movie from her,
from his son, from the daughter is outrageous. Also, why
does she keep telling ice Cube all these like natural
(05:02):
disaster things? He doesn't care at any point in this movie.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
He actually at one point he tells her He's like,
I don't really care. That's not really my area.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Why does she think that they're friends? Why? Like they
aren't colleagues?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Right? No, in her name, I forget her character's name,
but it's like I don't like Jennifer, but it's like
Jennifer Nascat. Yeah, Like it's not even a real name.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
That's a work friend.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
This is released in twenty twenty five. Like I said,
it was made a couple of years ago. Rated PG thirteen,
it's an hour and ninety or it's an hour and
thirty one minutes. And this is really where, like it
doesn't fly at any point in this movie. There is
a turning point where I'm like, you know what, I'm
back in, But the first thirty five minutes to forty
(05:47):
minutes this is boring, And.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
It's like, do you the nssay's interface for you like
these high For him to control a drone, he just
basically has to make a mouse box over the drone
to come and deer it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I will say though, as someone who I'm an okay typer,
but I sometimes get into the habit of using like
one or two fingers. Ice Cube's really good at typing.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
He's flying, he's really you don't know if he's doing it,
but and he never makes a mistake, and especially when
stressed out and going fast, he won't ever make a mistake.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
He speaks at one speed, but the way that he types,
I think he should just type out all of his lines.
He should tell all of his directors and FBI just
through typing his words permittent, typing wise way faster than speaking.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Well. Now, I'm thinking of an ice Cube movie where
he has a Stephen Hawking voice, which would.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Be is pulling off his glasses typing really fast Stephen
Hawking voice.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I got you, I got you.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
A colossal invasion of Earth is coming in this off
kilter take on a legendary novel of the same name,
which I think that's what is really that's why people
are loving this is that this is just based off
of one of the most famous stories of all time
and Amazon Prime. We haven't even mentioned Amazon Prime yet.
(07:06):
This is on Amazon Prime. Yes, took it and fucked it.
They fucked this story.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
And again I don't know whomst thought this was a
good idea. I don't know like whose idea this was
and how it was It Like but also like, remember
this was like a radio program from Jesus. I remember,
and it was like every time I stole this from
I stole this from the radio program, and everybody thought
it was real. Yeah, and it was Orson Wells, right,
it was done by Orson Wells.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
And actually I read the entire script earlier, and what
I love about it is that it takes him three
or four announcements to get into the Flying Saucers. So
he does this first announcement of like, hey there's some
stuff happening on Mars, let's get back to music. And
then hey, we're seeing some stuff in the sky. Let's
get back to music. Like by the third or fourth
is like there are little fucking gray men running around
(07:56):
on this earth. So he took his time, and really
he really drilled it in. Yes, you got to eat
the data, Davy, and eat the data.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
But also like the NSA's like top guy is spending
eighty percent of his day like spying on his kids
and seeing what's in Amazon cards, Like that's his whole day,
and like while all this is happening, is like, hey,
you put that muffin down.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You don't eat that muffin? What are you you're pregnant,
can't eat that muffin fat for the baby. This is
directed by Rich Lee, written by Kenny gold Mark Hymen,
and then on IMDb it has HG. Wells. Do you
think HG. Wells would appreciate them putting his name on
(08:38):
this movie? Or would he have said to them call
me Alan Smithy?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Or were they just like his estate? Yeah, it's just like,
how much are you gonna pay us? Fine?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
All right, mister, we can do it. We don't give
a shit. This movie stars Ice Cube, Ava Longoria and
Amazon Prime.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Amazon Prime was way bigger of a character in this
movie than I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
But also the twists and turns of this movie. Oh oh,
you never seething right in your face. Oh my oh,
but you're telling me, you're telling me that the at
the head of the FB high is in charge of
this spoilers. Spoilers, sorry boilers.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Also, wait a minute, the son who's trying to tell
him all these government secrets is disruptor. What you didn't
sniff that out the first time the kid was on screen?
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
He becomes a disruptor At the end of the stupid
fucking picture.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
But like my favorite one is when the reveal a
Clark Greg is like the bad guy, right, and there's
a photo of him and he's look They're like it's
like this grainy shot of like these people in like
the like the whatever you n or whatever, and he's
looking right at the camera. And then once again, can
you give me ice cubes reaction to seeing that the
ex husband from the New Adventures of Old Christine is
(09:56):
the bad guy?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Hold, damn, damned this whole time, this whole time. Damn
he leaves the room once he gets up and walks
to the back of the room, and oh my god,
the thumb drive. The fucking the thumb drive.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Okay, so explain this to me. So the War of
the Worlds, which had this whole war takes what twelve
hours maybe, and these aliens have done this thing where
like fighter jets and military communications planes are falling from
the sky. Right yet ice cube cell phone still works,
his family cell phones still work, and his bumbling idiot
(10:34):
son in law can fly a drone into the NSA
five floors down.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I think you're underestimating Amazon.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Prime, right, you think, But also like I've flown drones
where I've lost signal when they go behind a tree.
Also his entire family, who are all ready and able,
all of them, It's not just one with all of
their skills, they're able to stop the day to consumption.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Be eating your points as we're reading the points. My god,
you know what, I do love this movie. It really
did take time. The turning point in the movie for
me was when the daughter who's pregnant is bleeding and
the son in law says, I got tape, and I'm like, fuck,
that's what I needed to hear.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That's something.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, And I'm like that, like that is the stupidity
that I need in this movie. When he said that
he could stop the bleeding wacking tape in my my
turning point was when his drone flipped over and was
laying in the street and they they were trying to
get a guy who was hiding in a pop up
(11:44):
tent to like come and flip the drone back over,
and they enticed him with a thousand dollars Amazon gift card. Well,
they offer him other shit first, and he's like, I
don't know if I should trust this thing. I'm gonna
die A thousand dollars to Amazon like a cash, like,
and he goes there and buys a fur coat, like
he goes to Burlington coat factory.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yes, if you go into Burlington Cote Factor with one
thousand dollars, you were literally a god. So yes, like you.
So I was asked point blank, did I like it? Yes?
I did. Was it a good movie? No, it's for
one of the worst movies I've ever seen. But did
I like it? Yes? I did.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I also saw it in chunks. I watched the first
forty minutes, fell asleep, and I'm like, I'm not sure
if I'm going to get back to that. It's fucking boring.
Then I hopped back on while on the elliptical at
the gym for twenty minutes, I'm like, Okay, this is
getting a little more interesting. And the son in law
offered to tape up his wife.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
How are you watching this at the Did you bring
an iPad or something.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
On my phone? That's how I was intended to be seen.
They don't want you to see the fucking CGI because
you can lord the CGI.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Like it's so bad. It's so bad.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Look, they're better off just using stop motion at this point,
just like use toys, use clay, Like what they gave
us is a step above the sci fi chant. But
you almost would rather have bird demic.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Oh absolutely, But like you said, it was intended if
you look at it, you know, shot on and the
other thing that killed me too. So it's shot on
basically like cell phone footage, like it's supposed to look like.
So it's supposed to look kind of janky. But then
they just throw in like random B role footage of
like armies.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Okay, random B role footage of armies, which, by the way,
he watches clips on his computer. He also flips back
and forth between Fox News and CNN. You had a
great chance to have some nice, poly charged humor in there.
When he flips the Fox News, they should have blamed
the libs. When he flips the CNN, they should have
blamed the president. Like the comedy rights itself.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It does right itself, and it could have it could
have been very topical at the time.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Those are topical jokes that can live forever. Like those
are easy, that's a Have you seen those clowns on Congress?
How do they come up with that great humor? Don't
praise the machine.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
By the way, I'm looking at rich Lee's directorial chops.
It seems like he's He's directed War of the Worlds.
He directed the Black Eyed Peas I'm Ana Bee video.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
That's a good one though.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
He directed Christian Mingle starring Lady Shaver, and several other
music videos for Lana del Rey.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, that absolutely checks out. So, like I said earlier,
the amount of every time that he ends a phone
call with anyone, it's they've oh they've died. Yes, Oh
their phone went out. No, no, no. Three seconds later, oh,
he's tracking them on the computer.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
It's fine, and they're moving and he has no And again, like,
if I'm being bombarded with like lasers and like rubble,
the very first thing I'm gonna want to do is
FaceTime my dad. Wow, the whole time it's going.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
On, not only that, Okay, the daughter and I understand
there's some there's some conflict in the life of this family,
but the daughter while the world is ending, is like, hey, man,
you're a shitty dad. They're a fucking bad dad. What
are we doing?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, I think we put that aside for the time being.
We'll talk about that later.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah, Like, hey, like, if we survive, I'm gonna bring
this up later. Because like even talking about Okay, so
when ice Cube says to her, I understand why you
didn't invite me to the shower, she should have said,
like knowing that the world is ending, Oh no, we
mailed it to you. You must have not gotten it
because you're still at work, Like lie to him because
the world is ending. How is he gonna know?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
And not only that, but like you can tell me
your daughter's heart rate, what she's eaten, and like her
blood oxygen level, but you you can't see that you
weren't invited to the baby shower because you weren't friends
with her boyfriend on Facebook. Like that that is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
That was another turning point of like, okay, you've you've
got my interest a little bit more. Also, the email
at the end of the movie. This is when I
shook my head and said, you know what, this movie's
not all wrong. The headline of the email said parenting
is hard, and I'm like, fuck it is you bet?
I bet you's got a point. You probably.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
To this.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I relate to the fact of if someone offers me
a thousand dollars to Amazon Prime, my initial thought is scam,
But then I'm like, think of all the shit I
can buy.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Oh, look at that, like all the yeah, yeah, do
you have any like bottle cleaners, like water bottle cleaners
I can get for that.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Think of all the pairs of eyeglasses I could buy
that I could tear off my face right now. Damn
all right, in the true Mac and Goo fashion, let's
run through the gauntlet of stupid stuff that we always do.
Fun factor of this movie. Over the course of the
entire movie, I'm not sure if there's enough fun for
how bad this is. But if you're recommending it, you're
(16:30):
gonna tell people. It's like, oh, you, you gotta watch
this sitcom, But you got to get through the first season.
You got to get through the first couple episodes because
the first half an hour of this movie, it's dry
and it's garbage. It's not fun.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
It's not and it's like you start asking yourself, are
they really taking this that seriously?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
But off the back of that satisfactor, I almost admire
this movie for how clever it thinks it is.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yes, and I am looking forward to this being in
the cult classic movie conversation along with like The Room
and you know, Troll two, Like it's it's on that
level of like it's so bad that you're it's hysterical.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
But comparing it to those movies and to like a
Madam Webb, like Madam Webb from the get go is
fucking stupid, oh so.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Dumb, and like pointless this and I mean, this movie's
pointless too, But it's also like I don't know how
to describe it. It transcends good and bad.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yes, because like even at work, I was I was
trying to half recommend it to a coworker who loves
bad movies, and I'm like, it's just so down the middle,
and the idea of the movie is stupid at the
beginning for how they're shooting it, but it doesn't get
interestingly bad for a while. Yeah, and the fact that
like this whole war of the World by the way
they say the title of.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
The movie like three times.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Which is that makes me like a movie. That makes
me like a movie. Like when Ben Affleck yells out
in mal Rats to Jason Lee, you fucking mal rat
it's the best part of the movie.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
And I forgot where I was going with that. Now
I'm thinking about mal Rats, But like, shit, what were
we talking about before I lost my train of thought.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
That's good, quater World. It is worse than the nineteen
ninety five classic water World.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I think water worlds. I mean, I didn't mean. I
remember being like ten and seeing water World and not
enjoying that.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Maybe you didn't understand it, maybe I didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Maybe it was too deep. Maybe it's too deep for.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Me, too deep like the ocean. Ooh that's right, ooh Halloween.
Will this movie wane in interest over time? I'm actually
with you, I think this is gonna pick up a
lot of popularity in the people that want to see
something so bad that it's good.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Or you start talking about it with somebody who had
seen it and people are like, what are you talking
about and you're like, sit down, okay, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
So like in this conversation, I have liked it way
more because of what we've been talking about. And I have,
and I think over time, I'm gonna forgive the bore
because I'm not gonna watch it again, but I'm gonna
talk about it.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Oh, and I'm gonna watch people watch it like I'm
gonna like the whole time, I'm gonna be like looking
down at the couch and being like you fucking seeing this,
you know what I mean. And they're gonna ask me
questions like wait, why why is the head of the
NSA like spying on his kids? Like great question.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You see that eighty eight You see that ad at
right there.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
So what do these aliens want? They want to kill us,
but they don't and that's they don't have to kill anybody.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
No, they just they want to eat your data.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
They could have just landed and just taken And again,
how does that feed them? They're like bio robotic organisms
or whatever like they Eva Longoria has this like explanation
of why they're doing this, and it's like makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Data is the most important, and that's where the money is.
It's in data.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
It's in data. Why do they need money?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Data? It's data? Pants tend City, Excite bike Mania. What
got you going in this movie? And it really is
the turning point of the tape. The tape got me going.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
The tape got you going.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
The tape got me going, It got me cackling, and got.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
What got me cackling was that after seeing planes fall
from the sky and you know, carnage going on outside
the fact that ice Cube family plan was very much
intact to their cell phones and somehow the news was
still on.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Everything is still going at this point in the world.
CNN would have played their doomsday video that you can
find on YouTube that's twenty two minutes long, where it's
a band on the White House Left.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Favorit two and now in retrospect when they're like, how
did they do this? And they're like, they blew up
all our satellites and we're blind, I'm like, no, you're not,
because you're talking to each other right now on the phone.
You're not blind because you're you're on fucking cell phones
which use satellites.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I have taken training at work of if something like
this happens, something's out there, you're making that up. If
something is out there eating our data. We have a
station further west in Massachusetts that we travel to that
we'd be able to deliver news to you and record news,
put it on a loop and just keep you up
to date on the AM signal.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
That's a real thing.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yes, that is a real thing.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Dave, Wow, I only saw and like fallout, like whether
you like listening to the radio and it's just like
on a loop the whole time, But like that's fascinating
that that's a real thing.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
It's in a bunker. I'm not gonna tell you where
it is, though.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Don't, please don't. I don't want to. I don't want
to tell you where it is.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I'm not gonna tell you where it is. I don't
want you hopping on there.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
You don't want me going to Framingham.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
You're gonna hop on there? Start start playing some my
dork podcasts.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Just hijacket and just like whatever, Like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
When life gives you Jesse Plemmon's in a movie, he
makes plemonade, he makes it that much better. But with
this movie, I flip it on its head. Who pops
up for a short amount of time and you say,
what are they doing here? Why are they doing this?
And I think it's Ava Longoria. And you could argue
that she is in too much of this movie.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
She's in way too much. Yeah, I would agree with you.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
But it's just funny to me every single time that
she's like, I have this interesting thing to tell you
when ice cubes like, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Look at the lightning. I've never seen lightning like this
is it? Yeah, that's not a national security thing for me.
That's weather.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Like I'm curious who are her other friends? Does she
have no friends?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
You know why she's so pretty that everyone's mean to her now?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Also'll even answer the phone. He's at least willing to
answer the phone.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
And like when they have that like big meeting, like
they don't even call her in.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
And then let's sear Max credit union. Mac isn't here,
but if Mack was here, he would give credit to
the writer HG. Wells for signing off on Hey man,
this is your legacy.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I don't think he signed off on it.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
He did from the grave. He's like this, he read
the script and said this looks good.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
When do you think HG. Wells died?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Let's see, this movie just came out, so what the
last couple of days. He was one of the writers
on this movie, Dave.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I understand he was one of the writers in this movie.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
He was.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
He died right when World War two died in nineteen
like forty six.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
You think like he was killed in World War two.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I mean he could have been. He was seventy nine
years old. I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
A lot of people died around that time.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
A lot of people did, That's right, especially in England.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Hot Dog score. I'm going to give it a zero,
but it's a good zero. It's a zero, like I
think getting a zero is better than getting like a ten,
better than getting an eight, better than getting a five.
You're in that negative zone where then you can flip
it on its head and still watch it.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I'm gonna give this a one hot dog because I
would like to tell the director and writers of this
movie where they can take that hot dog and.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Stick it like a tentacle going up ice cubes butt.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
That's right, shine it up real nice again? And why
do the data eating things have probes? What do they
want ice cubes button?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Because they were eating his data.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
They're trying to get his date.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
What a fucking twist that would have been? What if
ice Cube was a robot the whole time?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Ah, they went up his button, took all his points.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
You could have imagine if the last half an hour
was every minute a new twist.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
And they played twist by corn at the end.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Let's get into mac sack, and mac Sack could be
any thing. It could be about Davey. Have you seen
on social media's it's called blind rankings where the influencer
or the creator will put up like top five, top ten,
and then someone else will give him the answer he
(24:14):
needs to take that answer. It's a hard slot into
one of those numbers, and that's it.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
So I saw you do this with the senses, and
I was you did it with mac and senses and
it was like ten, and I was like, hold on,
But then you twisted a little bit. I thought that
was very clever.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Okay, Well, I'm gonna do this with you right now.
So you are an educator, you have, You've gone through
many years of school. You're a scholar.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I went starting my twentieth year teaching this year.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Okay, So I am gonna let's do a top ten
blind ranking of schools.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
All right, schools, All right?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Are you ready for this?
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yes? Hi?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Nine middle seven, elementary three pre five of hard Knocks,
one of fish, ten of rock.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Oh, it's gonna be what I have two back two
oh with Rodney Dangerfield four out for the summer. Eight
is eight available, school's out for the summer, Alice Cooper,
that's right, number eight.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
And then finally Ernest goes two.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Oh, it's gonna be six is left right.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Number six is left. Okay. So Davy's ranking of his
favorite schools at number one of hard Knocks, hell Yeah.
Number two is of Fish, a school of Fish.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
At number two three School of Fish was ten School
of Rock school number two school of Fish Fish.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
School of Fish is number ten. You don't like a
good school of fish?
Speaker 1 (25:45):
No, I don't like deep Water.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
At number three is middle. At number four is back
two the Rodney Dangerfield Classic. At number five is elementary.
At number six is ernest goes to school. At number
seven is high school. Number eight is out for the summer.
Alice Cooper's school is out for the summer. At number
nine is high school and at number ten Davy's worst school.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Fish Yeah, no, thank.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
You, a group of fish.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
I feel good about that list.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Where can the people find you?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
People can find me in that place between sleep and
being awake, you know, but really where they can find me?

Speaker 2 (00:13):
All of that and so much more coming up here
on News Dump, Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our program
of whimsy to bring you a special news bulletin from
the international podcast News. A movie has just landed on
Amazon Prime, so foul, so putrid that this news dump
(00:37):
will be postponed until further notice, and this episode will
now be dedicated to this hots garbage.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
One good, three, yeah, three, King of Queen.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Mals Street and good And I'm Ran Davey. That's right,
he is not Mac and Davey. You fool. You thought
we were doing the news dump, but what we're actually
doing War of the World?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Are you like you? Yeah, I'm reading all these things
and I'm like, all right, I'm ready to do this.
Are we actually doing World of the World right now?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Hell? Yeah, we ass do it all. Let's do it, Oh, Davy,
I know that you and Keith have already done a
dork on this this movie question mark, what is this?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Well? Once given context to that, it makes a lot
more sense when you get a little bit of background,
because just watching the movie going in blind as I did,
it's not a movie.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
No, and this was shot during the pandemic.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
That would have been helpful to know ahead of time.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And what my question, worst thing from the pandemic probably
on Rotten Tomatoes right now, the audience is giving it
some love twenty six percent, but the critics.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Three have you read the positive reviews?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
No? Are they good?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Not? Really?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Is it people that are admiring it for how bad
it is? I am for sure, But is also the
critic saying this is an interesting concept when in fact
it's not.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Let me see all critics. I'm gonna I'm gonna see
what out of forty reviews, let's see, I'm going to
define the first positive one. It's certainly stupid, but it's
also a great deal of fun.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I'm not sure if it is. I'm not sure. Now.
I'm a huge fan of so bad It's Good movies.
This movie takes a long time to even get interestingly bad.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
And it's even bad to the point where like there's
photo shopping in this movie, and it's horrendous, like it
could have been done by like a five year old.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I also, for so much of this movie thought that
ice Cube, this movie stars ice Cube. I thought that
he was reading all of his lines off the computer screen,
because this entire movie is shot on a webcam, shot
on I right, shot on body cams. And then I
just saw on the honest trailer for it that you
(03:07):
can see the green screen in his glasses.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I have to look again because there's definitely a scene
and there's not to give it away, but he's explaining
what's going on to like a war room of like
generals and like high ranking officials, and it is absolutely
clear that he's reading off a piece of paper.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Also, the sense of urgency in his voice and delivery
of his lines. Ice Cube has one speed in how
he speaks, and that is smooth. There is no urgency
to like speed up how he's speaking. It's just not
the world is under attack and he's just going at
this past constantly. You better take those glasses off in
(03:45):
a second and say, God, damn.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Well, I just I want to see this is he
does this, He like rocks back and forth like all
mo like in a webcam and like is constantly touching
his glasses.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Throughout the movie. He's constantly taking his glasses off to
then you know his eyes touch his nose, say god, damn, damn.
I bet that when he saw the Metacritics score of six,
that's what he said.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Oh he's going RTA. Come on, come on, come on, like,
that's that's the all I got you.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I got got you like, No, you don't. You could
have cut and paste so many of the points of
this movie into other points. It's him saying the same
things over and over again.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
And could you believe that people like Eva Longoria and
Clark greg we're told, okay, take your phone, put the
forward facing camera on it, and just say these lines,
and we'll give you a million dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Eva Longoria in this movie might be the most non
playable character in a video game that I have ever
heard speak. It is all exposition, and the amount of
fake depths that we get in this movie from her,
from his son, from the daughter is outrageous. Also, why
does she keep telling ice Cube all these like natural
(05:02):
disaster things? He doesn't care at any point in this movie.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
He actually at one point he tells her He's like,
I don't really care. That's not really my area.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Why does she think that they're friends? Why? Like they
aren't colleagues?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Right? No, in her name, I forget her character's name,
but it's like I don't like Jennifer, but it's like
Jennifer Nascat. Yeah, Like it's not even a real name.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
That's a work friend.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
This is released in twenty twenty five. Like I said,
it was made a couple of years ago. Rated PG thirteen,
it's an hour and ninety or it's an hour and
thirty one minutes. And this is really where, like it
doesn't fly at any point in this movie. There is
a turning point where I'm like, you know what, I'm
back in, But the first thirty five minutes to forty
(05:47):
minutes this is boring, And.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
It's like, do you the nssay's interface for you like
these high For him to control a drone, he just
basically has to make a mouse box over the drone
to come and deer it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I will say though, as someone who I'm an okay typer,
but I sometimes get into the habit of using like
one or two fingers. Ice Cube's really good at typing.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
He's flying, he's really you don't know if he's doing it,
but and he never makes a mistake, and especially when
stressed out and going fast, he won't ever make a mistake.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
He speaks at one speed, but the way that he types,
I think he should just type out all of his lines.
He should tell all of his directors and FBI just
through typing his words permittent, typing wise way faster than speaking.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Well. Now, I'm thinking of an ice Cube movie where
he has a Stephen Hawking voice, which would.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Be is pulling off his glasses typing really fast Stephen
Hawking voice.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I got you, I got you.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
A colossal invasion of Earth is coming in this off
kilter take on a legendary novel of the same name,
which I think that's what is really that's why people
are loving this is that this is just based off
of one of the most famous stories of all time
and Amazon Prime. We haven't even mentioned Amazon Prime yet.
(07:06):
This is on Amazon Prime. Yes, took it and fucked it.
They fucked this story.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
And again I don't know whomst thought this was a
good idea. I don't know like whose idea this was
and how it was It Like but also like, remember
this was like a radio program from Jesus. I remember,
and it was like every time I stole this from
I stole this from the radio program, and everybody thought
it was real. Yeah, and it was Orson Wells, right,
it was done by Orson Wells.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
And actually I read the entire script earlier, and what
I love about it is that it takes him three
or four announcements to get into the Flying Saucers. So
he does this first announcement of like, hey there's some
stuff happening on Mars, let's get back to music. And
then hey, we're seeing some stuff in the sky. Let's
get back to music. Like by the third or fourth
is like there are little fucking gray men running around
(07:56):
on this earth. So he took his time, and really
he really drilled it in. Yes, you got to eat
the data, Davy, and eat the data.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
But also like the NSA's like top guy is spending
eighty percent of his day like spying on his kids
and seeing what's in Amazon cards, Like that's his whole day,
and like while all this is happening, is like, hey,
you put that muffin down.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You don't eat that muffin? What are you you're pregnant,
can't eat that muffin fat for the baby. This is
directed by Rich Lee, written by Kenny gold Mark Hymen,
and then on IMDb it has HG. Wells. Do you
think HG. Wells would appreciate them putting his name on
(08:38):
this movie? Or would he have said to them call
me Alan Smithy?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Or were they just like his estate? Yeah, it's just like,
how much are you gonna pay us? Fine?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
All right, mister, we can do it. We don't give
a shit. This movie stars Ice Cube, Ava Longoria and
Amazon Prime.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Amazon Prime was way bigger of a character in this
movie than I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
But also the twists and turns of this movie. Oh oh,
you never seething right in your face. Oh my oh,
but you're telling me, you're telling me that the at
the head of the FB high is in charge of
this spoilers. Spoilers, sorry boilers.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Also, wait a minute, the son who's trying to tell
him all these government secrets is disruptor. What you didn't
sniff that out the first time the kid was on screen?
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
He becomes a disruptor At the end of the stupid
fucking picture.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
But like my favorite one is when the reveal a
Clark Greg is like the bad guy, right, and there's
a photo of him and he's look They're like it's
like this grainy shot of like these people in like
the like the whatever you n or whatever, and he's
looking right at the camera. And then once again, can
you give me ice cubes reaction to seeing that the
ex husband from the New Adventures of Old Christine is
(09:56):
the bad guy?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Hold, damn, damned this whole time, this whole time. Damn
he leaves the room once he gets up and walks
to the back of the room, and oh my god,
the thumb drive. The fucking the thumb drive.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Okay, so explain this to me. So the War of
the Worlds, which had this whole war takes what twelve
hours maybe, and these aliens have done this thing where
like fighter jets and military communications planes are falling from
the sky. Right yet ice cube cell phone still works,
his family cell phones still work, and his bumbling idiot
(10:34):
son in law can fly a drone into the NSA
five floors down.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I think you're underestimating Amazon.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Prime, right, you think, But also like I've flown drones
where I've lost signal when they go behind a tree.
Also his entire family, who are all ready and able,
all of them, It's not just one with all of
their skills, they're able to stop the day to consumption.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Be eating your points as we're reading the points. My god,
you know what, I do love this movie. It really
did take time. The turning point in the movie for
me was when the daughter who's pregnant is bleeding and
the son in law says, I got tape, and I'm like, fuck,
that's what I needed to hear.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That's something.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, And I'm like that, like that is the stupidity
that I need in this movie. When he said that
he could stop the bleeding wacking tape in my my
turning point was when his drone flipped over and was
laying in the street and they they were trying to
get a guy who was hiding in a pop up
(11:44):
tent to like come and flip the drone back over,
and they enticed him with a thousand dollars Amazon gift card. Well,
they offer him other shit first, and he's like, I
don't know if I should trust this thing. I'm gonna
die A thousand dollars to Amazon like a cash, like,
and he goes there and buys a fur coat, like
he goes to Burlington coat factory.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yes, if you go into Burlington Cote Factor with one
thousand dollars, you were literally a god. So yes, like you.
So I was asked point blank, did I like it? Yes?
I did. Was it a good movie? No, it's for
one of the worst movies I've ever seen. But did
I like it? Yes? I did.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I also saw it in chunks. I watched the first
forty minutes, fell asleep, and I'm like, I'm not sure
if I'm going to get back to that. It's fucking boring.
Then I hopped back on while on the elliptical at
the gym for twenty minutes, I'm like, Okay, this is
getting a little more interesting. And the son in law
offered to tape up his wife.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
How are you watching this at the Did you bring
an iPad or something.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
On my phone? That's how I was intended to be seen.
They don't want you to see the fucking CGI because
you can lord the CGI.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Like it's so bad. It's so bad.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Look, they're better off just using stop motion at this point,
just like use toys, use clay, Like what they gave
us is a step above the sci fi chant. But
you almost would rather have bird demic.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Oh absolutely, But like you said, it was intended if
you look at it, you know, shot on and the
other thing that killed me too. So it's shot on
basically like cell phone footage, like it's supposed to look like.
So it's supposed to look kind of janky. But then
they just throw in like random B role footage of
like armies.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Okay, random B role footage of armies, which, by the way,
he watches clips on his computer. He also flips back
and forth between Fox News and CNN. You had a
great chance to have some nice, poly charged humor in there.
When he flips the Fox News, they should have blamed
the libs. When he flips the CNN, they should have
blamed the president. Like the comedy rights itself.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It does right itself, and it could have it could
have been very topical at the time.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Those are topical jokes that can live forever. Like those
are easy, that's a Have you seen those clowns on Congress?
How do they come up with that great humor? Don't
praise the machine.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
By the way, I'm looking at rich Lee's directorial chops.
It seems like he's He's directed War of the Worlds.
He directed the Black Eyed Peas I'm Ana Bee video.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
That's a good one though.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
He directed Christian Mingle starring Lady Shaver, and several other
music videos for Lana del Rey.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, that absolutely checks out. So, like I said earlier,
the amount of every time that he ends a phone
call with anyone, it's they've oh they've died. Yes, Oh
their phone went out. No, no, no. Three seconds later, oh,
he's tracking them on the computer.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
It's fine, and they're moving and he has no And again, like,
if I'm being bombarded with like lasers and like rubble,
the very first thing I'm gonna want to do is
FaceTime my dad. Wow, the whole time it's going.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
On, not only that, Okay, the daughter and I understand
there's some there's some conflict in the life of this family,
but the daughter while the world is ending, is like, hey, man,
you're a shitty dad. They're a fucking bad dad. What
are we doing?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, I think we put that aside for the time being.
We'll talk about that later.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah, Like, hey, like, if we survive, I'm gonna bring
this up later. Because like even talking about Okay, so
when ice Cube says to her, I understand why you
didn't invite me to the shower, she should have said,
like knowing that the world is ending, Oh no, we
mailed it to you. You must have not gotten it
because you're still at work, Like lie to him because
the world is ending. How is he gonna know?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
And not only that, but like you can tell me
your daughter's heart rate, what she's eaten, and like her
blood oxygen level, but you you can't see that you
weren't invited to the baby shower because you weren't friends
with her boyfriend on Facebook. Like that that is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
That was another turning point of like, okay, you've you've
got my interest a little bit more. Also, the email
at the end of the movie. This is when I
shook my head and said, you know what, this movie's
not all wrong. The headline of the email said parenting
is hard, and I'm like, fuck it is you bet?
I bet you's got a point. You probably.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
To this.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I relate to the fact of if someone offers me
a thousand dollars to Amazon Prime, my initial thought is scam,
But then I'm like, think of all the shit I
can buy.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Oh, look at that, like all the yeah, yeah, do
you have any like bottle cleaners, like water bottle cleaners
I can get for that.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Think of all the pairs of eyeglasses I could buy
that I could tear off my face right now. Damn
all right, in the true Mac and Goo fashion, let's
run through the gauntlet of stupid stuff that we always do.
Fun factor of this movie. Over the course of the
entire movie, I'm not sure if there's enough fun for
how bad this is. But if you're recommending it, you're
(16:30):
gonna tell people. It's like, oh, you, you gotta watch
this sitcom, But you got to get through the first season.
You got to get through the first couple episodes because
the first half an hour of this movie, it's dry
and it's garbage. It's not fun.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
It's not and it's like you start asking yourself, are
they really taking this that seriously?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
But off the back of that satisfactor, I almost admire
this movie for how clever it thinks it is.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yes, and I am looking forward to this being in
the cult classic movie conversation along with like The Room
and you know, Troll two, Like it's it's on that
level of like it's so bad that you're it's hysterical.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
But comparing it to those movies and to like a
Madam Webb, like Madam Webb from the get go is
fucking stupid, oh so.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Dumb, and like pointless this and I mean, this movie's
pointless too, But it's also like I don't know how
to describe it. It transcends good and bad.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yes, because like even at work, I was I was
trying to half recommend it to a coworker who loves
bad movies, and I'm like, it's just so down the middle,
and the idea of the movie is stupid at the
beginning for how they're shooting it, but it doesn't get
interestingly bad for a while. Yeah, and the fact that
like this whole war of the World by the way
they say the title of.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
The movie like three times.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Which is that makes me like a movie. That makes
me like a movie. Like when Ben Affleck yells out
in mal Rats to Jason Lee, you fucking mal rat
it's the best part of the movie.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
And I forgot where I was going with that. Now
I'm thinking about mal Rats, But like, shit, what were
we talking about before I lost my train of thought.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
That's good, quater World. It is worse than the nineteen
ninety five classic water World.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I think water worlds. I mean, I didn't mean. I
remember being like ten and seeing water World and not
enjoying that.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Maybe you didn't understand it, maybe I didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Maybe it was too deep. Maybe it's too deep for.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Me, too deep like the ocean. Ooh that's right, ooh Halloween.
Will this movie wane in interest over time? I'm actually
with you, I think this is gonna pick up a
lot of popularity in the people that want to see
something so bad that it's good.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Or you start talking about it with somebody who had
seen it and people are like, what are you talking
about and you're like, sit down, okay, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
So like in this conversation, I have liked it way
more because of what we've been talking about. And I have,
and I think over time, I'm gonna forgive the bore
because I'm not gonna watch it again, but I'm gonna
talk about it.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Oh, and I'm gonna watch people watch it like I'm
gonna like the whole time, I'm gonna be like looking
down at the couch and being like you fucking seeing this,
you know what I mean. And they're gonna ask me
questions like wait, why why is the head of the
NSA like spying on his kids? Like great question.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You see that eighty eight You see that ad at
right there.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
So what do these aliens want? They want to kill us,
but they don't and that's they don't have to kill anybody.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
No, they just they want to eat your data.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
They could have just landed and just taken And again,
how does that feed them? They're like bio robotic organisms
or whatever like they Eva Longoria has this like explanation
of why they're doing this, and it's like makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Data is the most important, and that's where the money is.
It's in data.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
It's in data. Why do they need money?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Data? It's data? Pants tend City, Excite bike Mania. What
got you going in this movie? And it really is
the turning point of the tape. The tape got me going.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
The tape got you going.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
The tape got me going, It got me cackling, and got.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
What got me cackling was that after seeing planes fall
from the sky and you know, carnage going on outside
the fact that ice Cube family plan was very much
intact to their cell phones and somehow the news was
still on.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Everything is still going at this point in the world.
CNN would have played their doomsday video that you can
find on YouTube that's twenty two minutes long, where it's
a band on the White House Left.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Favorit two and now in retrospect when they're like, how
did they do this? And they're like, they blew up
all our satellites and we're blind, I'm like, no, you're not,
because you're talking to each other right now on the phone.
You're not blind because you're you're on fucking cell phones
which use satellites.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I have taken training at work of if something like
this happens, something's out there, you're making that up. If
something is out there eating our data. We have a
station further west in Massachusetts that we travel to that
we'd be able to deliver news to you and record news,
put it on a loop and just keep you up
to date on the AM signal.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
That's a real thing.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yes, that is a real thing.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Dave, Wow, I only saw and like fallout, like whether
you like listening to the radio and it's just like
on a loop the whole time, But like that's fascinating
that that's a real thing.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
It's in a bunker. I'm not gonna tell you where
it is, though.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Don't, please don't. I don't want to. I don't want
to tell you where it is.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I'm not gonna tell you where it is. I don't
want you hopping on there.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
You don't want me going to Framingham.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
You're gonna hop on there? Start start playing some my
dork podcasts.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Just hijacket and just like whatever, Like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
When life gives you Jesse Plemmon's in a movie, he
makes plemonade, he makes it that much better. But with
this movie, I flip it on its head. Who pops
up for a short amount of time and you say,
what are they doing here? Why are they doing this?
And I think it's Ava Longoria. And you could argue
that she is in too much of this movie.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
She's in way too much. Yeah, I would agree with you.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
But it's just funny to me every single time that
she's like, I have this interesting thing to tell you
when ice cubes like, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Look at the lightning. I've never seen lightning like this
is it? Yeah, that's not a national security thing for me.
That's weather.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Like I'm curious who are her other friends? Does she
have no friends?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
You know why she's so pretty that everyone's mean to her now?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Also'll even answer the phone. He's at least willing to
answer the phone.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
And like when they have that like big meeting, like
they don't even call her in.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
And then let's sear Max credit union. Mac isn't here,
but if Mack was here, he would give credit to
the writer HG. Wells for signing off on Hey man,
this is your legacy.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I don't think he signed off on it.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
He did from the grave. He's like this, he read
the script and said this looks good.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
When do you think HG. Wells died?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Let's see, this movie just came out, so what the
last couple of days. He was one of the writers
on this movie, Dave.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I understand he was one of the writers in this movie.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
He was.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
He died right when World War two died in nineteen
like forty six.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
You think like he was killed in World War two.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I mean he could have been. He was seventy nine
years old. I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
A lot of people died around that time.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
A lot of people did, That's right, especially in England.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Hot Dog score. I'm going to give it a zero,
but it's a good zero. It's a zero, like I
think getting a zero is better than getting like a ten,
better than getting an eight, better than getting a five.
You're in that negative zone where then you can flip
it on its head and still watch it.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I'm gonna give this a one hot dog because I
would like to tell the director and writers of this
movie where they can take that hot dog and.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Stick it like a tentacle going up ice cubes butt.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
That's right, shine it up real nice again? And why
do the data eating things have probes? What do they
want ice cubes button?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Because they were eating his data.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
They're trying to get his date.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
What a fucking twist that would have been? What if
ice Cube was a robot the whole time?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Ah, they went up his button, took all his points.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
You could have imagine if the last half an hour
was every minute a new twist.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
And they played twist by corn at the end.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Let's get into mac sack, and mac Sack could be
any thing. It could be about Davey. Have you seen
on social media's it's called blind rankings where the influencer
or the creator will put up like top five, top ten,
and then someone else will give him the answer he
(24:14):
needs to take that answer. It's a hard slot into
one of those numbers, and that's it.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
So I saw you do this with the senses, and
I was you did it with mac and senses and
it was like ten, and I was like, hold on,
But then you twisted a little bit. I thought that
was very clever.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Okay, Well, I'm gonna do this with you right now.
So you are an educator, you have, You've gone through
many years of school. You're a scholar.
