Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Was that.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
How about that you're not going to do it back
to me?

Speaker 1 (00:06):
No, No, I don't want to vomit.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
That is very rude of you. I was at the
office the other day and one of my co workers
gave me a great was up and then really, as
one does you reciprocate, you give them one back?

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
No one else in the office had any kind of
a response. They didn't know what was going on. I
looked at one of my twenty five year old co
workers and said, do you know what was up is?
And he said, was it from scream or something?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah? To be fair, you got to be of a
certain age to understand that joke. I mean maybe, yeah,
people would probably associate it more with scary movie.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Scary movie is the movie that it's from.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
And then that was the first time that I thought
to myself, am I at a touch?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
No, you're not a touch.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
It's the kids that are out of touch.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
No, if you were the first one to say was
you'd be, you'd be out of touch.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
What are they teaching these kids in school nowadays?

Speaker 1 (01:05):
I don't think anything. I think the kids are teaching
the team.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
That's why the education system sucks. I agree, need more
early two thousands bud Light commercials. One good three yeah,
just three. King of Queen, Marl Street.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Entertain Time and I'm a Mac.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
And we are the Mac and Goo program. We bring
you why.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
We will be bringing you some nineteen ninety nine shortly Actually, yeah,
that's that's really poignant. Today today we're doing, uh, the
greatest invention of all time? What have you been watching lately?

Speaker 2 (02:01):
On half Pain? Keep it short? Don you run? Now?
What's fun about that song? That's Norris the Terrible, great singer,
great musician. Go and check out his work on Spotify.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Is that where he is on Spotify?

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Go and check him out there. Also, go and check
him out live if you can find him. Norris the
Terrible used to be on The Boxers. Marcus Estebez. You
might know him by They're a band now, Yeah, they're
a band. Wesley not in the band whole.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Song and dance? Yeah, uh, we are discussing today.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Wait, let me get back to what I was gonna say.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Oh you had you weren't done?

Speaker 2 (02:36):
No, I stopped myself mid sentence, promoted Marcus, And now
I'll get back to I was gonna say. The original
cut of that song is like minute and.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
A half as most of Marcus's.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Which is funny because it's keep it short, tell me
right now, long song short thing. That's one of my
favorite things, uh, specifically from like a sketch show where
you have this super long intro. Yeah, ten seconds sketch,
super long out. Yeah, it's like Max's.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Fashion Fashion Mac fashion Mac Yeah. Uh. In the spirit
of that, we are gonna be discussing movies, but quickly
today we got I don't know the eight nine ten
movies discussed here, and these are all movies that we watched,
liked or didn't like to some degree, but none of
them deserve their own solo episode because there's just not

(03:26):
They're either not popular enough or there's not enough there
to discuss.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
You say that. But the first one that we will
mention extremely quickly is one that is coming out to
day or last night this weekend, and we did say
that would be talking about it today, but Mac has
not seen it because he is bad at doing this.
But that is Craven the Hunter.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, I missed the screening working on opening nights, So
what are you gonna do?

Speaker 2 (03:52):
I can tell you right now. First off, should have
been called nature.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Boy who whoo whoooo.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Well, have a full review at the top of next week.
But I'll tell you right now, Animal CGI is doochie,
bad action editing. It's an uninteresting story, poorly paced, especially
going back in time with the origin story. No thank you.
It lacks any humor, and it's not bad enough to
be fun.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Sounds like most of the Sony verse, right.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
I think it's very similar to a Black Adam, where
you watch it, you say it's a movie, and then
you forget about it.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah. Black Adam was pretty meh, So this movie's met.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Or super meh. And if you know the Craven lore,
I'm not like a big craven guy. I read up
more on it after the movie and said, that's not
what I saw. So if you like craven, if you
know craven, this ain't for you.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
I do like Aaron Taylor Johnson quite a bit, so
maybe he'll he'll carry it a little bit.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
If you're a big ATJ guy, enjoy yourself some sweet abs.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
I am not looking forward to this one, but because
we gotta review it, I will see it.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Oh, we go view it. I don't want to don't
tie my hands Mac very quickly. There is a special
that came out last weekend, not quite a movie, but
it is on Netflix. It is the holiday season. Whooped
to Doo Hibbitty Dop and Sabrina Carpenter put out her
nonsense Christmas special. This is directed by Sam Wrench and

(05:22):
it's starring Sabrina Carpenter and her friends Mac who were
the guest stars. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
So she did like a forty or fifty minute holiday special,
so kind of longer than an episode of television, but.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Shining dancing sketches.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, and you know she's got some shops, some acting shops.
She's pretty funny and if you know her presence on
stage on social media, she's just she's feisty, she gets it,
she understands it. You would know her from Girl Meets World,
of course.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
From the one episode I saw of her two episodes.
I saw the premiere and then I saw the episode
where Will Ferdell came back.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
There you go. So that's two more than I've seen.
Four musical guests are on the special, Tyler. She sings
that song water, you would know it's a real airworm.
Shania Twain hops in here for yeah, for a little dude,
dad is missus Claus She I feel like Shnida Twain
awkwardly sang the song. But she's out there and she
looks good, looks better than she has looked the last

(06:16):
couple of years. So that's credit to her for her
credit to someone. And then cali Ucci's I think is that?
How is that? How you say that one? That last one?
She got a real Betty boot thing going on there.
They sang a little a little duet as well, and
then the final musical guest was Chapel Roone. Of course,
she's fantastic. Their voices together are fantastic. Other stars that

(06:36):
pops up in here with Kara Delavine, Sean ast and
Kyle Mooney, who will talk about in a second, Jillian Bell,
Keent de Brunson, and Megan Stalter. So it's a fun
little forty forty five minutes passes the time, a couple
skits few songs. It's decent little watch.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Is it too much me to say that the only
funny moments were the Kyle Mooney song?

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, I'd say that was that's too much you?

Speaker 2 (07:00):
What else is funny in it?

Speaker 1 (07:01):
I enjoyed the Girlfriends of Christmas past the three little
that was it. They were ghosted, you know.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
So I would say that in general, and I just said,
it's not the funniest thing ever. But I do love
myself a Christmas special. I love these types of It's
a throwback to the nineteen fifties nineteen sixties. Paul Lynde
used to always do these. I would like for slightly
better sketches, but I'm into stuff like this.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, No, I think it was well done. And then
to conclude it, she sings a Christmas version of Nonsense
hence Nonsense Christmas, where she changes the lyrics and if
anyone wasn't to wear this is the song she was
changing while she was on tour, the outro, and it
was usually very sexual. And now, of course on tour
right now she's doing the whole juno position things, so

(07:48):
she gets it. She knows how to get the eyes
on her.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Only two F bombs and no new de tay.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, apparently you can be PG thirteen or TVMA with
two F bombs.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Well, she said three F bombs, but she only used
two of them because I was waiting for that third one.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
I was too, I thought.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
At the end, I was like, I was nudging my wife,
she's gonna see DF word.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
She was just gonna lean and go fuck.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
She didn't do it, though, she did kind of a sellout.
Go yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Speaking of Kyle Mooney, fresh out in the theater right
now is the movie Y two k the year two thousand.
Good and I were both ten years old. This hit
theater is this past weekend. H only two point one
million an opening weekend goo and no international release, so
this is all domestic. It's it's in this weird area
where it's not Christmas, so it's on holiday and there's

(08:36):
a lot of kids movies out right now, so not
a huge audience.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Well it's a New Year's Eve movie. That's kind of
the season.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Okay, all right, that's fair. I think it's an eight
twenty four movie as well. Really, oh yeah it is, yes, yes, yes,
this is an R rated comedy horror in sci fi
sub genres here goo AI artificial intelligence, not the movie
teen comedy Alan horror. This is a run time of
ninety one minutes and goo on roddy Te's. I saw

(09:03):
this last week and I was a little disappointed. Forty
four percent from the critics, forty nine percent from the
audience and I was like, Ah, that's that kind of
stinks A forty nine on Metacritic, and I was like, like,
I'm looking forward to this. I like the idea it's
Kyle Mooney. And then that I think that hurt the
box office, not that it was gonna make BOOKU Banana Land,
Bananza Bucks.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
No one ever thought it wasna make BOOKOU Banana Land,
Banana Bucks.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
But more than two point one, I think, right.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
But I will say this, and I appreciate you for
doing this. You went to the theater and you saw
this R rated comedy, So bravo. I have I might
do it myself, just because we need to support stuff
like this.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yeah, and I think you would like it. So a
little peak behind the curtain here. A lot of what
this episode is is movies. I have seen that Goo
hasn't or vice versa. There is one or two on
here we've both seen, so we'll get to that at
some point. Goo Y two K of course, written by
Kyle Mooney and Evan Winter. We all know everything about
Kyle Mooney and his SNL stuff. He was also a
writer the TV show Nathan for You. I think one

(10:02):
of the most underrated television shows of all time? Good
you really like to Briggsby?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
I love Brigsby Bear. If I can take if you
can take one thing from this podcast, go find Briggsby Bear.
I think it wrote twenty seventeen or twenty eighteen. He's
also stars in it too. It's him and Mark Hamill.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
And he wrote it, didn't direct that, but if you're
into Kyle Morning, that's sort of your speed. It also
created the show Saturday Morning All Star Hits, which has
some very funny clips from it. Evan Winter, we wouldn't
know him at all. His first writing credit. What he's
known for on IMDb are An Enrique and Glasi's video
and a Sean Paul music video. So all the Stars

(10:42):
the Right Temperature, Yeah there. Of course, This is directed
by Kyle Mooney, his directorial debut. Synopsis. Two high school
nobodies make the decision to crast the last major celebration
before the new millennium on New Year's Eve nineteen ninety nine.
The night becomes even crazier than they could have ever
dreamed when the clock strikes midnight. So essentially the premise

(11:03):
of this is an alternate universe where Y two K
occurs and shit hits the fan. However, the ship that
hits the fan is not like banking stuff. The electronics
turn into like b movie monk.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
So is it super Bad meets Gremlins.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
No, no, no, no, it's not. It's not like that.
It's more too excited. Then it's more like this is
the End meets the faculty. So it's it's it's an
interesting mix. It's it's not as good as it's the End,
but it's sort of in that vein. It's not as funny,
but it's in that same vein. Uh good. This movie
stars Jaden Martel as Eli. You might remember him as

(11:39):
the young version of James McAvoy's character and it Yeah,
he's a face you've seen before and stuff. Rachel Zegler
as Laura. She got kind of popped up these last
few years West Side Story sh'sm Fury of the Gods,
the last Hunger Games movie.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
And I think she actually might be playing into the
negative review from the audience. People hate her.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
No oh no, that was a short lived thing. People
actually really like her.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
People like her again.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, you're you gotta catch up on the internet.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
I'm not going to catch up.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
She's also going to be a live She's gonna be
our live action snow White. So we get that coming
next year.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
I'm not saying that.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
I think that's rapped production. Uh. This also stars Goose Boy,
Julian Dennis, and Danny.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
He's Firefist from Deadpool too. Uh so if he's a
movie right, yeah, hunt for Wilder People. So he's been
in quite a few things. Goo. Fred Durst stars as
himself in this, and he's he's he's not in the
whole movie, but when he is, it's it's great, it's fantastic.
It does exactly what you expect once you hear the
fred Durst name. Kyle Mooney is also in this is Garrett.

(12:40):
He's like a video store manager. The kid Larroy a
recording artist. Uh. And I didn't realize it was him
in the movie. I was like, I know that face
afterwards looked it up. He plays a kid named Chris
who Eli affectionately called soccer Chris the whole time, and
then playing Eli's parents or Alicia Silverstone and Tim Heideker.
Al yeah, I think that's what I said.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
You said, Alicia, No, Alicia.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
I go first things first. I saw this at Apple Cinemas.
And fresh pond. I've been to that theater in years.
They have the greatest popcorn delivery system I have ever
seen go on. It looks like it's like a double
wide claw machine. So picture a claw machine, but double wide. Yeah,
and then it's got dispensers like mid mount for the
popcorn and right next to the butter, so you can

(13:26):
dispense butter, dispense butter, and you do it all yourself.
It's fucking phenomenal. It's really really good. It's almost worth
going to the theater just for the popcorn.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Is it hot and fresh?

Speaker 1 (13:35):
It's hot and fresh, baby, hot and fresh.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
But it's in a machine. Is it popping while you're
doing it?

Speaker 1 (13:40):
No, so they probably pop it and pour it in there.
So it's I guess it's maybe hot five minutes ago,
maybe not as hot as it could be.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
So let's say it's seventy percent hot thirty percent fresh.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yep, but you have total control of the buttering, which
matters more to me.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
I'm not a butter boy though. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Well, maybe don't go to this theater. Then it's it's
it's a selling port, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
It even says it on the door of the Fresh
Pawn movie theater. If you don't like Butter, don't come in.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Like I said, goo this movie. While whilst watching it,
I was like trying to compare it to other things
so people may want to go see it, and I
sort of came up with this is the End meets
the faculty. Everyone knows this is the end. The faculty
is that. I think it's nineteen ninety eight. Josh Hartnett
like seeing horror kind of comedic movie. It's it's like

(14:27):
time and place for that, and Mooney's trying to capture
some of that because we are in nineteen ninety nine.
There are solid callbacks and references to ninety nine stuff,
but it doesn't overkill it.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
It's okay, that was my question.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Appropriate It's not bad at all.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
My first big question though, is it funny?

Speaker 1 (14:43):
It is funny, but not hilarious. Okay, so it's like chrisappointing,
but it's a comical but not laugh out loud funny.
There are there are some laughs thre but.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
It doesn't overlye on references from the late nineties.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
No, no, And that's why I also said it's like
not as good as this is the End because this
is the end is hysterical, don't really have any scenes
like that, and it's it's like so it's also a
little more serious than maybe you would expect, but it's
like too serious to be a B movie. But it
also does a lot of things that are very much
in the vein of a B movie. So I can
understand why people are like not loving this movie. Don't

(15:17):
get me wrong, I could. I could certainly see that,
but that those ratings still seem very very low. But
like for you and I like, if you're into those
late nineties teen horror dramas, you know that type of stuff,
which I am. Plus you like Kyle Mooney, which we do,
you're probably gonna like this. So I have this, like
thirty thirty one hot Dogs Number nineteen twenty movie of

(15:38):
twenty twenty four. It's it's maybe not worth spending money
in the theater unless you want to go got that
delicious popcorn, but it's it's worth seeing. I think it's
it's it's it's kind of ridiculous at points, but it's
a fun little watch.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
All right, Let's move on to movie that I just
saw on an arrow plane a couple of weeks Ago,
and that is the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. This is
a guy Ritchie movie that came out back in April,
but it is currently on Stars Rated are action comedy
on Roddy Te's A sixty eight and ninety three, starring
Henry Cavell as Gus marsh Phillips, Alan Richson as honders

(16:16):
Lassen and Isaa Gonzalez Is That isa Iza Isa I
Believe Okay as Marjorie Stewarts. This is based on recently
the classified files of the British War Department and inspired
by true events. Inspired by true events, so really picking

(16:36):
and choosing right at the British military recruits a small
group of highly skilled soldiers to strike against German forces
behind enemy lines during World War II, and it's hard
to not compare it to an Inglorious Bastards, where it
is a small group of soldiers going up against Nazis.

(16:59):
But this is pretty good. This is very, very fun.
It's definitely deserves it's R for its pretty awesome R
rated action, tons of likable heroes in it, but it
doesn't really have any of that tension that you have
an Inglorious Bastards that makes it a truly great movie.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Okay, So like as a story, it sort of falls
flat other than killing Nazis.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Right, Like, I think that what's his name, Alan Richson,
who's in this fucking giant dude and not saying something. Man,
he's next to fucking Henry Cavill and he's bigger than
Henry Cavill. Yes, well he's saying something.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
He's in that Prime series Reacher. I believe he's plays
in that series. He's in a large man. He also
played Uh fuck, he was something and something that really
that really goes a long way. But two huge beefcakes,
Henry Cavill and Alan Richson here.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Going out there and having fun killing Nazis.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
I like that, and Isaac and Zalaz Nazi killer as well.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
She is more of a spy and she is being
used to try and lure one of the main Nazis
into Uh they're trying to get this gentleman, but also
trying to distract them while they get a base.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
So that Nazi's trying to fuck and that's a.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Right until yeah, maybe he finds out that there's something
screwy going on here foot up foot maybe, But like
I said, don't expecting glorious bastards, but it's pretty fun.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah, Guy Ritchie movies are usually fun.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
I do often find myself like not wanting to rewatch
guy movies. And I watched him, like, yeah, I had
a fun time, But I just feel like he peats
maybe twenty twenty five years ago, and since I haven't,
sounds like I've really loved his shit. Next up Gou
and this is a recent breaking one on the radar.
Had never heard of this one.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Oh by the way, like twenty nine Hot Tugs.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Twenty nine it's okay, Yeah, so happy you didn't pay
for it, but very enjoyable airplane movie.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Well enjoyable in the fact that I was watching it
every minutes, I had to take my headphones off to
ten to my son. But yeah, it was fun.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Go. Next up is Amelia Perez. This came out November one, theatrically,
I believe short Little Run, Limited Run originally a France
movie that came out in August and France made Yeah,
made almost nine million worldwide. This hit Netflix Goo on
November thirteenth. And the reason why this is on the

(19:27):
radar Goo is just the other day we got the
Golden Globe nominations and this got ten or eleven nominations,
absolutely blue doors, and I'm like, what the fuck is
this thing? Why is this being recognized so much? So
I was like, all right, I'll add it to the
list attention.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
I love awards.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Well, it's at least worth looking into. And then once
I looked into it, I was like, I don't know
what and then I read a little more like all right,
I'll give it a chance. I'll give it a chance.
This is a R rated crime musical and thriller subgenre
pop musical, which it is not at all. Also, comedy
is on IMDb.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Have we figured out what a pop musical is?

Speaker 1 (20:06):
No? I don't think anyone knows because this isn't a
pop musical. This is also not a comedy. I don't
know how comedy ended up in there. That's really really
poor genre by IMDb good. This has a run time
of one hundred and thirty two minutes, and you do
feel it a little bit. It's it's a little scattered.
It could have been more toy, But what are you
gonna do? A on roddy T's seventy six percent from

(20:30):
the critics, seventy four percent from the audience a seventy
one on Metacritic. This is written by Jacques Audiered and
Thomas Bitegang. You would not know either of those two fellas.
This movie is based on the opera libretto by Audi Aired,
and that opera is loosely based on the novel of

(20:51):
the same name by Boris Razon. So this is all
sort of coming together over the last couple of years.
Directed by Joaqux Audi Aired synopsis Inadacious Fever Dream that
defies genres and expectations through liberating song and dance in
bold visuals. This odyssey follows the journey of four remarkable
women in Mexico, each pursuing their own happiness. Fearsome cartel

(21:14):
vida Amelia and lists Rita, an unappreciated lawyer, to help
fake her death so that Amelia can finally live authentically
as her true self. So what they don't tell you
in there is that originally Amelia starts the movies, starts
the movie as Manitas. This like conniving man, drug cartel person,

(21:35):
but really is living, wants to become a woman, wants
to transition. So there's a whole underlying thing there, and
in order to do that he's got. He's got a
wife and two kids. The wife is played by Selena
Gomez and the lawyer is played by Zoe Saldana. So
he enlists this lawyer to help fake his death and
find a doctor that will help him transition. And once

(21:57):
you get past all that stuff and that's the happens
and you get into the story, it's fucking really riveting. However,
the musical aspect of it seems unnecessary. It's a little
telenovella type. It's like it kind of takes you out
of it. It doesn't add to the movie. And you know,
megu I'm this movie. There are a couple of scenes

(22:18):
that helps with some of the emotional stuff, but there's
like three or four scenes where it completely takes you
out of the movie and you're like, I wish that,
I wish that wasn't in there. So again, this stars
Zoe Saldana is Rita moral Castro, she's a lawyer, Carlo
Sofia Gasson as Manita's del Monte, and Amelia Perez. Selena
Gomez is Jesse, Adriana Paz as a Piani that's Amelia's

(22:40):
love interest. Edgar Ramirez is Gustavo brun Jesse's love interest,
and Mark Ivanier is doctor Wasserman. That's the doctor that
does the surgery. So if you're not into musicals, this
one's probably even lesser because it's not a great musical.
But I do think the underlying story is good enough
here and let me just try to sell you on
it a little bit. So the cartel leader transitions, fakes

(23:04):
the death, sets up Selena Gomez and his two kids
or her two kids for life, and then after a
couple of years, has regret that he's that they're not
gonna see that the children again, so creates a scenario
to bring them back into the mix. And then it
gets really interesting because Selena Gomez's character is not aware
that this character was her husband. So there's a there's

(23:27):
a whole thing that that it goes into from there.
Once again. It got ten Golden Globe nominations, and a
lot of them are warranted. Don't get me wrong. The
two leads here, Zoey Saldana and Carlo sofiagas On are amazing.
Selena Gomez isn't a ton She's very good, though, like
it takes a little bit to get going and for
the audience, I think to buy in a little bit.

(23:48):
The pacing doesn't help, But if you can tolerate those caveats,
and they are big caveats, there really is a truly
compare compelling story here. Like I was left thinking, I
was a little disappointed because I feel like the best
verse of the story maybe not a forty dogg or,
but like a thirty seven thirty eight dog movie could
have been really really great, and it doesn't quite get there.
But because the idea or the story is so intriguing,

(24:11):
it just keeps you interested the whole time. So I
got it, like thirty one, thirty two, Hot Dogs, Top
twenty on the air, fifth fourteen or fifteenth. It's a
good movie. I don't know if it garnered ten Golden
Globe nominations. I don't think it needed to go that far,
but I think it's a movie worth watching if you're
not distracted by the musical aspects.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Let's move on to movie that we've both seen. This
is currently on Amazon Prime, Yeah, Prime, my old ass.
It came out back in September, Like we said, currently
on Prime. It made five point seven worldwide, ninety four
of that was domestic.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, which is a little bizarre because this is like
a pretty relatable coming of age story I feel like,
and I don't know why it wouldn't play to foreign audiences.
It's a little bizarre.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
It is rated our comedy, drama, romance come into age.
I think more than anything, it's coming of age.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
It's your like classic quintessential. Now it's I guess I
shouldn't say classic, because it's a unique coming of age
story and they do that part really well, which that's
why this movie stands out.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
I think a lot of it felt like Man on
the Moon.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
I wouldn't really say that, but I guess I get
where you're going.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
And that's also just a coming of age story, I suppose.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Runtime of under ninety minutes, less than an hour and
a half.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
You're brisk.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Roddy T's ninety eighty nine percent Metacritic, seventy four. Written
and directed by Megan Park. Yeahs. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
She's She's an actress that's been in stuff the last
twenty fifteen, twenty years. Like, once you see her face,
you'd be like, oh, I saw her in this, I
saw her in that good. I'm really intrigued because this
movie was so good. She also wrote and directed a
movie in twenty twenty one called The Fallout starring Jenna
or Tager and Matti Ziegler. And because this movie is
so good, I think I'm gonna rip that at some point.

(25:57):
It's just this movie is so well done and so
well and that I think it's worth following up with
all of Meggott Park's projects.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Synopsins A Mushroom Trip brings a free spirited Elliott. That's
her name. Yeah, why do I think it was Ellie?
Just Ellie? That that makes sense though, face to face
with her thirty nine year old self played by Aubrey Plaza.
But when Elliot's old ass delivers a warning to her
younger self, Elliott realizes that she has to rethink everything

(26:25):
about her family, life and love.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
This movie stars Mazie Stella as Elliott. I believe she
was in the show Nashville. Other than that, you wouldn't
know her from anything. She was pretty, she was pretty faceless.
I didn't recognize her whatsoever. Of course, Aubrey at Plaza
as the older version of the character. Percy Hines White
as Chad, who was awesome in this Yeah, perfectly cast
in the role.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
That so likable, really, like, can they introduce him? I'm
like why, Like, how are we gonna fall for this gentleman?

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (26:56):
Right, I get it.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah. Mattie Ziegler as Ruthie and good that twice I've
mentioned her. Obviously, Megan Park has a working relationship with her.
You might remember Matti Ziegler from the Sea video with
Shilah Buff where they're dancing around. She was on Dance
Mom's way back when. That's how she came to fame.
Caris Brooks's Row, Maria Dizzia as Kathy the Mother, Elaine

(27:17):
Gulem as Tom the Father, Seth Isaac Johnson as Max,
Carter Trozzolo as Spencer. Those are the two brothers, and
then there's a second love interest here, played by Alexandria Rivera.
She's the female love interest, Chad's the male love interest.
And that's really what kind of differentiates this coming of
age story from a lot of other ones. Is Elliott,

(27:37):
who sort of thought she was a lesbian, is now
having second thoughts because of this character Chad, and she's
very confused. She's consulting her old self about this whole thing,
and so the scenes between her and Plaza are like
so well done. There's not much to them.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
And there's not many acting. There's only like three or
four scenes with Plausa in them.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, just two people act. And there's only a couple
sets in this whole movie. Like I'm sure the budget
was pretty low, but it's so well written that it
like you're like really rooting for the characters. You really
like the characters. It's just the small backstory of Elliott's
family's farm and like moving away. I don't know, they
just they hit every note in this movie. It's to
me not a forty dog movie, but it's like thirty five,

(28:20):
thirty six ut dogs who I really love it. It's
in my top ten.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
I'd have it around thirty two. But I do really
love the you know, regret Slash, don't regret Slash, don't
take things for granted. Really appreciate your family now because
they're not always going to be around Slash. Maybe the
way that you're living, they're living isn't always going to
be the same things that you expect to always be there.

(28:46):
Not always gonna be there.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Yeah, which is why I'm surprised this hasn't done better
because it's a lot of relatable themes in there, whether
or not you're a bisexual female or not like it.
There's all sorts of stuff in here people can pick up,
So I have a feeling in the next year or so,
this movie's gonna gain even more popularity. But if you
haven't seen this, it's free on Prime right now, go
watch it. It's really good.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Did you cry?

Speaker 1 (29:08):
I did not cry, but there's a couple moments in there.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Now we might have teared up a little bit. There's
a really touching scene at the end where there's a
warning going out the entire time, and then you learn
why the warning is there, and it's kind of flipped
on its head.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Right.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Yeah, I like it.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
It's nice. It's a really real It's a real nice again,
real easy watch under an hour and a half, So
go watch that.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Speaking of another real hard watch, and that is Trap,
which is currently on Max that went on there in October.
It originally came into theaters on August second, twenty twenty four.
RADYPG thirteen, a murder mystery by director m Night shamal On.
It is fifty seven sixty five on roddy T's and

(29:52):
I am surprised by how high. That is because this
is and I don't have the run time here. I
think it's only around like ninety ish minutes. This feels
like a never ending story. It just keeps going.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
So I had planned on watching this like two months ago,
a month and a half ago, and then I saw
a couple of reviewers that I pretty well respect called
it maybe the worst movie of the year. And then
I saw multiple clips on TikTok, and I was like,
this looks really bad, really bad.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
This has some of the worst writing and some of
the worst dialogue given I have ever seen, and there
are some amazingly like this is almost as fun as
a Madam Web where it is it's insane the twists
and turns that we take in this where so you
have m Night Shyamalan's daughter Selika, who plays Lady Raven.

(30:44):
They go to this Lady Raven concert at you would
assume like heading into an evening. Yeah, but after this
two two and a half three hour show, it's still
broad daylight when you go outside. So did the show
start at ten eleven?

Speaker 1 (31:02):
Right?

Speaker 2 (31:03):
I don't want to give too much away. Josh Hartnett,
He's doing his best. His character though, seems to be
giving away that he is the killer around every single turn,
and nothing that he does is clever. It just seems
like everyone around him is just really, really stupid. I
want you to watch it because you are someone who

(31:27):
understands protocol, and I mean, do you know how to
catch a killer in a stadium? I feel like you
would at least understand it.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
I think I could devise a plan that might work.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Within the first five minutes. I'm like, this guy should
be caught by now. M Night. Shamalon also cameo on
this his worst cameo of all time. Oh really, it
is laugh out loud funny. The dialogue that he gives.
So he is Lady Raven's uncle. And you know this
because he is someone that is in the audience that

(31:59):
needs to look for an audience member to go on
stage with Lady Raven for a song. Sure, but the
way that he introduces himself is, Hi, I'm Lady Raven's uncle,
her dad's brother.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Well it could have been her mom's brother.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
I'm aware of what else he could have been, but
who would introduce himself from from the dad's side. Of course,
the daughter does her best too. There's this whole other
storyline with like the daughters having fights with their friends
at school and heartnett Is keeps getting into it with

(32:34):
the girl's mother and that's like a whole side argument
that's happening, and he has people in a basement and
at the forty five minute mark, you think it's over.
At the hour mark, you think it's over, and it
just keeps on going. The concert is just preposterous. There
is just no concept of daylight and the amount of

(32:58):
switcher ruse are just asinine. You have this like Lady
Raven is a Lady Gaga Taylor Swift level superstar. And
I'm not trying to give anything away, but she ends
up back at Josh Hartnett's house.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
I have seen so, I've seen the scene on TikTok
with the phone in the bathroom.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yes, and she is the one that gets him captured
by the FBI because the FBI can't figure it out.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
No, of course not.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
And after the FBI takes him in, he gets out easily,
barely inconvenience, and then you find out how they eventually
found him and you're like, how did no one else
do this? This guy is so sloppy in what he
does but the one thing that he does tight, that
he does extremely well. Hartnett eats pie extremely efficiently. No,

(33:53):
like a keem lye keem lime key lime.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
No like a keem lye.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Okay, So James Franco is it? Huh?

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yeah? This thing sucks?

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Oh boy? So bottom three of the year, bottom five
of the year. Where's this fall?

Speaker 2 (34:09):
I think I have at bottom six because.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
It's some really bad movies this year.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Yeah, I counted those Christmas movies, okay, but I think
I have it right above that. Okay, but I don't
have it as low as say, like Joker or kinds
of Kindness. So I have it thirty three, just above
the Christmas movies Garfield, Ghostbusters.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Yeah, and that's not thirty three hot Dogs by the way, folks,
that's thirty.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
No, No, this is this is well below the aquator.
And I'd have it around like fifteen fourteen. It's kind
of fun and how ridiculous it is, okay, but a
first time watching through you feel like it's gonna end
multiple times and it just won't do it.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
That's very frustrating. That's a very frustrating movie to watch,
that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
I want you to watch.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
I don't think I'm ever gonna watch next up two
movies actually watch Men, Chapter one and Chapter two. This
is a two part sequel situation, but it's really one
long movie that they cut into two parts. As everyone knows,
the Watchmen graphic novel is a very long I think
it's like a twelve part graphic novel that Zack Snyder

(35:16):
turned into a cinematic movie in two thousand and nine
that I actually really like more than most people. This
is based off the same source material, is a little
more faithful. I think it might even be a straight
adaptation pretty much of what we get in the graphic novel.
So the first one was video on demand August thirteenth,
need to pay like four ninety nine for it, did

(35:37):
not hit theaters. The second one on November twenty sixth.
The reason why I watched these is because the first
one hit HBO Max on November eighteenth, so for free
if you have.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Matched, Oh that's cool.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
I liked it so much that I paid for the
second one when it came out a week later. These
are both rated our animated action drama, mystery sci fi.
Of course, we don't have to really sell you on
watchmany kind of know the story, but dystopian sci fi
superhero type of stuff. Chapter one is eighty three minutes,
Chapter two is ninety minutes. Crisp cumulatively under three hours,
but it keeps it moving, you know, it's it's I'm

(36:10):
pretty sure this is shorter than Zack Snyder's one movie,
so that's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
But I also love when they do shit like this
where it's the two part of the graphic novel. They've
done this with The Dark Knight Returns, and they've also
done it with Long Halloween. I didn't love the Long
Halloween one, but the animated two parters that equal out
to roughly three hours.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Yeah, I think it's more palatable that way. I agree
with you on Roddy Teazgue. Chapter two doesn't have enough
reviews on either side to get a number yet, but
chapter one ninety two percent from the audience eighty percent
from the critics, so really strong. For reference, the Snyder
film had sixty five percent from the critics seventy one percent.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
You love that movie.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
I don't love that movie, but I enjoy it. This
is definitively better on Metacritic, a seventy one. The Snyder
film had a fifty six. This is written by J. J.
McCary Stazinski and of course based on that graphic novel
by Dave Gibbons and Alan Moore. The two directors here
are Brandon Vietti and Vinton Huke. Hevialians Right, Yeah, Huge

(37:12):
Massive In an alternate nineteen eighty five America, The murder
of a government sponsored superhero draws his outlawed colleagues out
of retirement and into a mystery that threatens to upend
their personal lives and the world itself. This stars Matthew
Reese as Dan dreiberg slash night Owl, Katie Sakoff we
all know her as Lorie Juice Pa Chick slash Silk Spector,

(37:35):
Titus Wellever as Walter Kova's Roacheschak Worshak. Troy Baker is
Adrian vite Ozy, Mandias, Adrian Barbo is Sally Jupiter, Laurie's
mother the other Silkspector. Michael serveris as Doctor Manhattan, Jeff
Pearson as the older version of night Owl, and Rick d.
Washerman as Edward Blake slash the comedian Goo to me.

(37:57):
This is if they had done this live action Snyder
movie if they had done this in two thousand and nine, especially,
it would have been forty dogs. Okay, this is really good.
Maybe the animation will turn you off. It's not the
best animation you've ever seen, but it's specific. It's it's
doing a job. I really liked it. I got these
I'm just gonna rate them together even though they're technically separate,
because they felt the same to me. I think it's

(38:18):
about thirty five hot dogs orderline top ten on the year. Yeah,
it's it's really good. So if you like animated comic
book superhero shit, this should be right up your ally
at the very least. Ripped the free version on HBO Max.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Shout out Troy Baker, one of the voice actors here.
He's played Batman in the past. I think he plays
Batman now that he's a joker too.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
He's the voice actor on What's the What's the the
HBO Max show that's coming back next year that we
all loved with Charley Quinn. No, no, no, no, it's
Pedro Pascal is playing the father figure and then the
what's the name. It's based on the video game Naughty Doug.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
Last of Us?

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Yeah, Last of Us? So Troy Baker is the voice
act during the Last of US video games.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Oh cool. Yeah, Now, if you played arkham origins, Troy
Baker was the voice of Batman and the Joker.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
Wow. Yeah, So this guy's got that got a hell
of a fucking voiceover career.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
Everyone's like, it's not Mark Hamill and Kevin Conray.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
Yeah, this is one guy doing it.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
It's pretty impressive. It's not as good, obviously. It's like,
you know, someone who's a really good cornerback and really
good wide receiver. Would you rather have an elite verse
is Travis Hunter.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
We don't quite have Randy Moss and Dion Sanders, but
we do have Travis Hunter.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Right, Let's get to a little movie that dropped in
November on Netflix, and that is Hot Frosty eighty one
percent on Rotten Tomatoes. It only has thirty two reviews,
and I'm not sure who reviewed it on roddy. T's
fifty two from the audience rated TVPG, so keep that

(39:51):
in mind. That might have been what kept the people away.
Directed by Jeddy sit our Anti. Is that what you said?

Speaker 1 (39:58):
Chick or reedy? Chick?

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Areedi? Are you sure?

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Chick a reedy soup starring Lacey Schabert. You would know
her from the early two thousands.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
You would know her from My Wet Dreams.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
Dustin Milligan, you would know him from Shit's Creek. He
was the eventual husband. Wait does no, he doesn't marry
the daughter, right he leaves?

Speaker 1 (40:21):
Oh the bearded guy.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
Yeah, the veterinarian. Oh Ted, Ted, Ted leaves. They don't
get together, No, they don't. So he's in this Joe
Lloyd Trugio, who is in Brooklyn ninety nine everything. He
got Katie Mixing Greer from Eastbound and Down.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
When did she had the Greer?

Speaker 2 (40:42):
I don't know. You think it's Rusty Grear. And then
finally Craig So Craig Robinson. So that's that's a pretty
good little character act or staff right there.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
This thing is trying so hard to be funny, and
maybe that's what they're trying to appeal you with is
the effort and the talent that they have, and they're
just trying to pull your teeth out and get you
to laugh. This is about a widow, Kathy played by
Lacy Shabert, who magically brings a snowman to life played
by played by what's his name from Shit's Creek?

Speaker 1 (41:20):
Okay, Dustin Milligan.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
Ye. His innocence helps her heal and find love again.
They fall in love and every old lady in the
town thinks this snowman is the hottest thing going. They
bond before the holidays, but he is doomed to melt
because Craig Robinson arrests him and puts him in a
really hot jail cell.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
So is he in snowman formed the whole movie?

Speaker 2 (41:42):
He's only in snowman form the first five ish minutes
of the movie. Then he's brought to life, and then
there is about tennish minutes where she thinks he's just
a homeless guy, but she's letting him stay with her.
Then everybody that she tells from there on out she's like, oh,
that's the snowman that was in front of the building,
but now he's alive, and they're like, okay, cool, and

(42:03):
they just go along with it.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
I the entire time was just questioning is this real?
Am I being punked?

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Is this just real?

Speaker 2 (42:15):
I needed to know if I could count this as
a movie, because I'm not sure if it.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Is well here it is in our episode, it is.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
Did the people like it? Did the people enjoy this?

Speaker 1 (42:28):
It's very worse than trap.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Oh yeah, this is way worse than trap. This is
comparable to the Lindsay Lowhand Christmas movie that came out
a couple of years ago where she gets amnesia from
falling down a ski hill. Although that might be the
best scene of all time though, when she falls down
that hill that green screen chef's kiss. This doesn't really
have any of that, like so ridiculous, like that one

(42:54):
scene that really pops at you, and like this is
this is really fun? This isn't even that fun.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
Does Craig Robinson play the keyboard?

Speaker 2 (43:00):
No, he plays He plays a cop that thinks that
his main job is to keep the streets clean. So
he needs to get this Santa Claus or this Santa Claus,
this fucking Frosty off the streets.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
I gotta get this homele guy off the streets.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
Yeah, this thing stinks, but I would take it over
Joker and kinds of Kindness.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
So only third worst movie. Oh so you have hold on,
So you have Madam Webb above.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
Madam Webb is last. But I'm gonna tell you this
right now, All right, fair enough, if I'm picking my
top ten movies of the year. Madam Webb is number five.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
I just wanted to clarify where Madam webboser.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Okay, I am it on the bottom, just to know
where it is.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
So did you finish this movie? And you say, you
know what I need is another Netflix movie?

Speaker 2 (43:46):
Well, so we did watch this the week after. But
while watching this, when I was on and off my phone,
this is a real tough one to pay attention to.
My wife yelled at me, I don't think I missed anything.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
No, you didn't.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
No. The other Christmas movie that hit Netflix more recently
November twenty seventh, and that was Our Little Secret thirty
eight and fifty seven on roddy Tea's.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
My Daddy Little Secret.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
Directed by Steven Haddock, starring Lindsey lohand Ian Harding kristin
Shadow with Carla from Scrubs and Tim Meadows.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
So you care enough about this movie to put Carla
from scrub.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Well, she popped on the street and I was like, Wow,
good for Carla.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
Carl from scrubb I used to love. The only deemable
thing to me about Scrubs was Carla.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Oh, Scrubs is coming back. Guys.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Yeah trying.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Someone had an amazing meme where they put mister Burns
in a mustache over all of the cast of Scrubs
and they called it Scrubs.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
I don't like that.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
You wouldn't get it. It's a great joke. So mister
Burns shows up to a town hall meeting with a
mustard shown. Sure, and they say, who are you? I'm
mister strub.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
When you read Ian Harding, I was thinking iron ZERI,
which could have made this movie better.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
This movie is compident enough to actually call it a
movie like this is This is a real rom com.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
So our little secret greater than Hot Frosty.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
I don't think Hot Frosty is a real thing. Okay,
this is definitely a movie. And I would say that
Lindsay Lohan is slowly growing her chops back. Oh, she
in this movie likes to eat. I can compare with I.
I understand that.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
At one point Kristin Chennow was like, uh, you ate
twelve cookies in one sitting? Fucking easily all of us can.
This movie, though, has a what's that dumb romantic comedy
that you like? With Steve Carell and Ryan Gostin.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
I'm not gonna answer that crazy stupid.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
Love this gonna be. This movie has a scene that
is trying to be crazy stupid love when Drew Carey's
brother gets into the fistfight and they throw every possible
scenario at the wall. None of it is very funny
and none of it is shocking or like there are

(46:08):
no guffaws in it. Sure, and then the end is
kind of ridiculous, But it's about Lindsey Lohan and one
of her ex boyfriends. They eventually break up after the
boyfriend proposes, and they date two separate siblings. They end
up showing up at the same Christmas party and they're like,
uh oh, and Kristin Chenowick is the mom.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
Uh So this is still bottom six of the year.
Though you're saying.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
Bottom ten, I would say bottom seven. It's not good.
I don't I'm not a huge romantic comedy guy, but
this is this is this is a movie.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
Okay, fair enough, goo, A movie I watched that I
didn't really care for. Was I like movies ironically, And that's.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
Weird because that feels like that's right up your alley
because you like movies.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
This was the movie I spoke to you a couple
of weeks ago about maybe it was on dump, just
mentioning that it had actually debuted in twenty twenty two
at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
You didn't tell me what it was about. You just said,
I watched this movie from twenty twenty two. Can I
count it for twenty twenty four? And I said, is
it a movie?

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Well, so here here's how it is. It got movies
right in the title.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
It's right in the title. So yeah, it's a movie.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
I got released in Canada last year. It got a
limited release in the US this year. It is currently
video on demand. You gotta pay for it. And I
only did this because I started looking like, all right,
what are some of the year end best of lists?
And this was on a couple lists, So I said,
you know what I'll watch. I like movies. This is
a PG thirteen comedy in drama, a coming of age story. Goo.

(47:39):
We've already talked about one. This is worse still short though,
runtime of ninety nine minutes. But why this is intriguing
and why pulled the triggers? Because on roddy T'SOW one
one hundred percent, how many reviews, I don't know one
hundred percent from the critics, seventy nine percent from the audience,
a seventy six on metacritics. So I'm like, you know what,
this might be right up my alley, coming of age

(48:00):
that the critics really liked. I might be into this.
Written directed by Chandler Levac. You wouldn't know anything he's done. However,
if you do watch this and like it, he's currently
in post.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
Do you only watch movies created by French autours.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
This guy's Canadian, actually French Canadian. Possibly possibly He's currently
in post production on a movie called Mile End Kicks.
So if you liked this, maybe go see that at
some point whenever that fuck that comes out, I know
goo will because that is a rom Car rom com
starring Jay Bharshaw. Synopsis of this movie. Lawrence Queller, a

(48:35):
socially a seventeen year old cinophile, gets a job at
a video store where he forms a complicated friendship with
his older female manager. So basically, you have this high
school kid who's a film snob. He's kind of a
dark no one really likes him at school. He's working
on like the year end film project, the video Yearbook.
For lack of a better term with his best friend.

(48:55):
During the movie, naturally, him and his best friend have
a falling out. The best friends like into the girl
and they're kind of ignoring each other. And at the
same time, this kid gets a job at the movie store,
so like that becomes his life. The manager of the
movie store is Alana, played by Romina Duogo do Go.
She's very good in this. She's I think the standout
performance in this. Goo. You know who's also in this

(49:17):
who plays the best friend, Percy Hines White, the same
fella from the last Coming of Age story we just
talked about, the one that played Chad in that movie.
He plays Matt in this movie.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Oh Chad.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
Yeah, So he's very good in this as well. The
main actor is Isaiah Lettnin and he's also he's really
good at being like a pompus dickhead. This movie's not bad.
It's not bad, but the main character is so unlikable
it can be I could see this being a hard
watch for people, Like he's he's purposefully playing a little
seventeen year old lass hole, but man, it's so hard

(49:48):
to like watch scenes with him. Sometimes it's like kind
of cringe worthy type of stuff. But it is well acted.
I see why a lot of people liked it. I'll
probably give it twenty seven hot dogs, like it's not bad,
it's not somewhere in between. I got a number twenty
eight on the year. Like, if you're really really deep
into this sort of coming of age where the main
character is a fucking dickhead, maybe you'll like it more

(50:10):
than I did. I didn't care for it.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
What were the movies that were referenced in this?

Speaker 1 (50:15):
So it's also set in like two thousand and seven
or something like that, so it's like age. It's throw
back a little bit. Yeah. Early, it's like early or
midd or late two thousands, so it's there's also some
of that going on too.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
So the kid is sitting there like, ah, I'm watching
this Adam Sandler Anger Management movie. It's great. Came out
in two thousand and two. It's a little it's a
classic at that point five years later. Yeah, be inducted
into the Hall of Fame at that point, so very quickly.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
I would Yeah, I watched Y two K. If you
are into you know, movies like this is the end
but maybe not as good, you might like it. If
you like late nineties teen horror comedy dramas. You might
like it. I would give it a thumbs up, but
probably not worth paying for.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
I watched Craven at the theaters. I'm only gonna ask
you to watch it so that you can talk with
us about it on Monday, because we need your listens.
Otherwise you can still listen anyways, we're gonna talk about it.
Please listen. Like subscriber review, smash that button right here.
Sabrina Carbenter's Nonsense Christmas was pretty fun little romp. I

(51:24):
don't know how much I loved it, but I love
the idea of it. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is
a fun little Nazi hunting movie with beef cakes having
fun killing them.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
So thumbs up.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
Yeah, thumbs up.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
I watched Amelia of the Perez. It's currently on Netflix.
I give it a thumbs up, but it's not a
recommendation for everyone. It is a movie that is for
a certain type of crowd. If you're not into musicals
at all, this isn't for you. Even me that like musicals.
It was a hard cell but eventually it came around.
But because of the award buzzet, maybe worth watching.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
I really liked and Mac loved my old ass.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
Yes, highly recommend. That's currently streaming on Prime.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
Trap might be so bad that it's fun. There's a
lot of ins and outs and the movie just could
have been over so so many times, and you really
question how how these people got their jobs.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
This is on Max. I probably will never watch it.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
Please watch it.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
I watched Watchmen chapters one and two. Chapter one is
on Max right now. Chapter two's video on demand. I
highly recommend both both really well done. If you are
or craving The Hunter, a faithful adaptation of the graphic novel,
this is right up your alley, I highly recommend.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
I watched a Christmas two pack on Netflix. One Hot Frosty.
I just want you to tweet and say real or
not real? Was it a fever dream? And then also
our little secret, which is if you have free time
you want something Christmas y.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
This is.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
It's fine. It's not very good, good enough. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:08):
I watched a movie called I Like Movies. It's a
video on demand. You gotta pay like four bucks to
watch it, which I could get that four bucks back.
It's not very good, it's not very bad at somewhere
in between. It's not for me. Ultimately, let's get into.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
Maxack and Max Sac could be anything. It could be
a boat. And with the big day coming just in
a couple of weeks, I'm talking about Santa's Birthday Christmas.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
Mac.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
We've discussed many of times the gifts that we received
as children, the big milestone gifts, and I think now
we look at pop culture wise, the big toys that
were given in television shows like, for example, a movie.
I think the most popular fame miss fictional toy of
all time would be in jingle all the Way would

(54:04):
be Turbo Man. I'm gonna ask you. I'm gonna throw
a bunch of fictional, famous television gifts that all the
kids wanted at. You tell me what television show they
are from. All right, Mac, the first one on the

(54:30):
board here, I will ask you, And this one is
pretty simple. Princess Unicorn.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
Oh, that is Dwight's doll that he hoards in the
office and then he sells his last one a Toby.
It's a black doll, and Toby gets upset that it's
a black doll not a white one.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
That is correct. Princess Unicorn is from the Office from
two thousand and eight. Dwight buys as many of these
Princess Unicorn dolls as possible and ends up selling them
for over two hundred dollars a piece. You are one
for one Nancy Spamoni snow boots. Uh.

Speaker 1 (55:11):
That makes me think of Dino Spamoni from Hey Arnold,
So I'm gonna say, Hey Arnold.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
Hey Arnold is correct. The episode is from nineteen ninety six.
Helga gets them, but because Arnold needs those Spamoni snow
boots to I believe work with either a city worker
or a social worker to help mister Wynn find his daughter,
Helga gives those boots that have been sold out for
months to that social worker so that mister Wynn can
be reunited with his daughter.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
How about that even Helga has a heart.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
Bone Storm bone Storm, bone Storm, Oh.

Speaker 1 (55:45):
I got nothing on this one, drawing a blank on bone.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
Storm bone Storm is from The Simpsons in nineteen ninety five,
their first Christmas episode since their series premiere. Give me
bone Storm or give me the Hell or go to Hell?
Not give me Hell. It's going to me both for
a go to Hell. Bart wants this and eventually shoplifts
the game. This, of course, sends Margin to a tailspin

(56:11):
a lot of lost love. In this episode, Millhouse does
get the game and enters his name as thrill Ho.
He then becomes bored at the game and instead gets
into a cup and ball. By the end of the episode,
Bart does get a video game. It is Lee Carvallo's
Putting Challenge. The Deluxe Cynthia Dreamhouse with real working hot tub,

(56:34):
satellite dish, entertainment center, and attached garage.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
Angelica gets this in Rugrats Yes, the entire episode of
the Santa Experience from nineteen ninety two, Angelica is in
fear of getting coal because of the trick that she
played on Phil and Lil. But because she made right,
she did get that dream house from Santa. But when
she opens the garage at the end, Cole Freddy Teddy,

(57:08):
Righty Teddy Freddy Teddy.

Speaker 1 (57:10):
This has got to be a play on Teddy Rucksbin.
That feels I don't think the Simpsons would do it,
so I'm gonna guess South Park.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
I'm going to give you credit here because it is
a take on Teddy rucks Bin. Freddy Teddy is a
storytelling bear that showed up first in nineteen ninety on
the show Family Matters.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
Live action.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
Okay, live action, well done. I'll say that you're two
and a half out of four right now?

Speaker 1 (57:37):
Yeah, okay, fair enough.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
The tube offone tubafone.

Speaker 1 (57:45):
I feel like I've heard tubafoone before. I'm drawing a
blank here. Where there's tubefone from?

Speaker 2 (57:51):
Well, that is the gift that Kel gets from Keenan,
Keenan and Kel.

Speaker 1 (57:55):
That's where it is. Yeah, that's where it is.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
It's a tuba at a the two.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
Wow. Fuck, I should have got that.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
You just blew it. That was your chance to win,
because we have one left and I'm not sure if
you're gonna get it. The photo scanner paper shredder. It's
a two way piece of equipment. It's a photo scanner
and a paper shredder.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
Okay, so you haven't doubled up yet, so I guess
I gotta rule out the Simpsons photo scanner and paper shwordder.
This does sound familiar. Photo scanner paper shredder. Fuck me,
I'm drawing a blank here too.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
It's from thirty rock.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
Motherfuck.

Speaker 2 (58:43):
The product is a fatal flaw in which both functions
are marked PS, meaning customers are likely to accidentally shred
their photos.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
I fuck me. I gotta rewatch thirty Rock. I've seen
I feel like I've seen most of thirty Rock, but
I've never sat through and run through it.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
That's the first season, so you should know that one's
on me. Yeah, so you got two and a half
out of six.

Speaker 1 (59:04):

Christmas time. I ordered a bunch of stuff earlier. Of course,
it's the annual get my father in laws something with
a cool little photo of him and his grandson on there.
I also found a nice h a nice yamriy yogurt
T shirt and Pabel Beret T shirt. I bought those.

(01:00:03):
I'm a big Pabel Burray guy.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
Yeah. Did you get Canucks?

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
Canucks? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
Yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
Mean I don't mind him on the Panthers.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
That's not the had a couple of good Panther years too.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
Yeah, it's a T shirt. It's not a jersey though, keep.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
That was he on. Was he on the Cup team
with Van Besbrook?

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
No, because he was still on the Canucks.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
I thought when they were so.

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
He was on the Canucks when they made the Cup
final in ninety four and lost to the Rangers. And
then he was not on the inaugural Florida team that
went to the Cups and lost to the Avs. I
believe they were swept. I think the Abs were. Also
the Abs were not a new team, but that's why
he just moved from Quebec the yeah ninety six.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
Yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
Also a little bone to pick with with fanatics the
NHL shop. Sure where are all of my European players.
There is no Yarmoy Yager stuff. He was on like
one hundred teams. You could sell a jersey for all
of them. There is no Dominic Hashik, there is no
Pavel Burret.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
Yeah. Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
I have to settle on eBay and just hope that
what they send me is good.

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
I used to buy low quality jerseys. I kind of
stopped because I got too many and I don't have
too many opportunities to wear them these days. But when
I was a young lad and money was low, I
had low funds.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
I found a couple of Chinese websites. Yeah, and for
the most part they were good. I'd say they were
about eighty percent good. The worst one I ever got
was a Steve Nash Santa Clara jersey that it's supposed
to be like a maroon and white. It was like
bright red. It was so bad, Like I never wore
it once.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
I was so disappointed in myself. I was in Jersey
over the weekend. First of I saw Frank the Tank.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
Yeah, that was awesome with this hot dog hat.

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
Yeah. So I was in the I was in the
American Dream Mall, the second biggest mall in America. I
went to the Champs there and they had a fifty
percent off rack and at the moment, at that time,
I thought I was dealing with some low funds, so
I wasn't able to purchase this. But they had for
sixty dollars a beautifully stitched Nets Kenny Anderson Jersey. That's

(01:02:05):
a good one with the blue and the red YEP.
I couldn't pull the trigger because I didn't know what
was gonna happen money wise. Imagine you, what'd you spend
our last dollars on? Got this? Kenny Anderson Jersey? Are
you a Nets fan? No? I actually kind of hate that.
They exactly all right, So check us out next week

(01:02:28):
for Craven at the top, and then a news dump
and then then we have Christmas Week.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
Yeah, and Sonic and something else Christmas and bossipon and
knows Faratu Wow. Yeah, so that we might be loaded
up with year end movies and then uh, we'll have
to figure out. I think I'm up to forty five movies,
so I'm quickly approaching fifty.

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
I met forty one. I think I'll definitely by the
time we get to the awards, which I just started
the doc I sent it to you earlier. I have
two categories on there so far. One is for worst
must stash. We're both on there, but I think it'll
be well over fifty by the time we get.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
To the apparts just movies we're gonna review. Probably by
the end of the year, it will get me to fifty.
So yeah, maybe you'll get to fifty two one week.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
There you go, Yes, so check us out then Tuesdays
or Goose Days, I Abuse Kangaroos, Team Burton Burton.
