of the best movie reviewers in town. And since you're not gonna damn be

(00:47):
much more information about. I wantto ask you today this morning Civil War.
This is a twenty four. Thisis Kirsten Dunst. This comes out
Friday Friday, Okay, say night. If you're that type of person,
Yeah, yeah, and you've seenit already and intriguing for multiple reasons.
The one sentenced synopsis is a teamof journalists who travel across the United States

(01:10):
during a rapidly escalating Second American CivilWar, which has engulfed the entire nation.
Yes, so this dystopian type film, which very much so usually when
you hear the word dystoping, you'rethinking future alien type monster. It felt
very much like today, a coupleof years from now. Yeah. Uh
yeah, it's this was one ofthe films that it didn't really pick my

(01:34):
interest when I heard about it sawI was like, oh, okay,
cool, But it had so muchbuzz at South By Southwest last last month
that I was like, Okay,I gotta let me dive into this,
Let's see what this is really about. It. Yeah, that's basically.
I mean, you're you've got aUnited States that's divided Texas and California twin

(01:56):
alliances called the Western Front to andtheir mission is to, you know,
just bring down the White House.And these journalists who are war journalists there,
they're capturing these moments. They're inthe middle of it. So they're
trying to get to the President beforethe Western Front gets there, because you
know, with them, once therest of Front gets there it's over,
so there is just following these journalistsand you're really seeing And I posted this

(02:20):
on my on my Twitter, onmy ex it stayed on the area you're
really getting an understanding and awakening ofwhat a war journalist does, like they're
really it's into like it's it's veryhonest, and I love that in this
story with Kirsten Duntz. But Imean, it's a great film. I
saw on an Imax, so itwas really Usually with Imax it's more a
lot of people think more visually thananything. But I think with the Imax

(02:44):
element to it, it was moreof the sound the sound effects to it,
because it felt like I was likeright in the middle of with all
the guns and the and the bombsgoing off. I was like, oh,
like I jumped a few times,like oh my goodness, Like this
is like scary. But I lovethe film. I thought the last thirty
minute of it was like worthwhile,Like that's it was like the icing on

(03:04):
the cake of everything. Because Imean for some people maybe they think it's
a little slow, just because it'sa journey, so you're following them,
you know, as I mean,it's intense. The whole time, because
you know, they're in a warzone. But man, the last thirty
to forty minutes was like, whogreat, I mean it was, yeah,
it was. It was heavy.It's ninety four percent on Rotten Rotten
Tom. Yeah, it's one.It's an hour and forty minutes. Yeah,

(03:30):
I love that part of it.Yeah it might yeah, it might
have been. Is it hour forI saw someone talk about that they're like
to do a movie that deep andand not get it done in two hours,
but I have one might yeah.Yeah, but I felt the same
way. I thought, like gimmicky. And then I saw the trailer before
Bottle Rocket with Ben and Skin afew months ago and went, Okay,

(03:53):
it's Nick Offerman and it's President thePresident. Yeah, you know, and
I have to say, man,I always love President. It's just President.
I don't think they They might havegiven a name, but it was
like the United States is casting credit. Yeah, I don't have to say.
Man. Jesse Plemans he was inthat movie for maybe ten minutes,
and that completely changed the tone ofthe film. He is unnamed soldier.

(04:15):
The film was already like heavy,like intense your seat, but when he
came in and who he was playingand what he was representing. It was
like trailor real. That's the biggestpart of the trailer. Is only a
small part of the film. He'sonly in the movie for maybe two minutes,
and he was just like completely changedkind of American. Yeah, he

(04:36):
completely changed the tone he was actingright there. Yeah, down playing.
So no spoilers, but Texas spoilerfree girl, Texas, California, the
Western Alliance. California is the goodguys. No, well about the Florida
Lions. It's just the Florida swoopingand save everything. Yeah, they just

(04:57):
mentioned the Florida Alliance. It's notYeah, they kind of mention it.
Yeah, the whole seque will beabout them, probably, And I really
I cannot wait to see it again, honestly, because it like who's the
good guy, who's the bat?Like what's the reasoning behind, Like what's
why they're you know, going upagainst the Maybe they intentionally kept that nebular
to not create a template for thefuture, Maybe because like in order for

(05:23):
that to happen, you're thinking toyourself, what happened, Like why is
it that these two states are reigningagainst the president of the US. And
so it's almost like who's good,who's bad. That's the thing is,
no two states could be more diametricallyopposed than California and Texas. Did they
cover that? Why those two teamedup? They did, like a little

(05:46):
like the beginning. Yeah, soyou're kind of yeah to keep that movie
short? Two hours? Yeah,I can't wait to see this. I
want to see it. I maytry to go sneak in this weekend Thursday
night. Yeah, wait, youhave to pay cinema support. Okay,
fine, sneaking security yard there hemoved. Well, I get you know,

(06:11):
privileges. Well, that's the idea. And I guess any civil war
or most any wars that everybody issure they're on the right side. You
look at the camera and say,wait, are we the baddies? Do
you see that? No? Likea German soldier, I don't think it's
a comedy. He just looks athis friend. Are we the baddies?
Stuck in my head, we're thebad ones? Yeah. You're seeing all

(06:31):
walks of life of people and peoplewho own businesses that you know they're just
sitting out with the gun, Likewhat do you like? Everyone is suspicious,
like everyone you know, you can'ttrust anyone because you don't you don't
know. So you see people,I mean they just stopped to get some
gas and they're like, what doy'all wh what are y'all doing? We
just we need gas to get throughgeta yeah, and it's just everybody's on

(06:54):
edge time. I don't want thatblood. I don't want how many dumplings?
About a four? Okay, abouta four? Three and a half
four? I think that last thelast thirty minutes was just like whoa all
right it was I was and man, it was yeah, that's sound.
This is a sound effect. Really, man, it was just loud and

(07:15):
heavy and it was civil. Idon't know what it's like to be in
the middle of a fighting of abattle of guns, but man, it
really felt like how loud it wasthat I was like, cranking, bab
I'm an air force, man,I'll listen and see if it sound what
it sounds like when everything goes down. You saw action. You're all very

As soon as totality hit, allthe dogs went straight to their owners and
stood right by them, all ofmine and everybody else's dogs. It was

(11:28):
amazing. They were very quiet andstill, and as soon as totality broke,
they all went back to doing whateverthey were doing. It was amazing.

So I actually went to a ChILduring the eclipse today. They closed and
let their employees come outside and takea look for you know, the twenty
minutes it's for the whole thing tohappen. It's pretty cool. They even
came out with trays of food afterwardsand gave everybody in the parking lot nuggets
and sandwiches for the inconvenience. Sothat's pretty cool. Anyway. I love

in like the Manfield Arlington area,and there's a neighborhood called Fanned Farms that
I lived in for a long time, and there are just peacocks everywhere,
and really they're they're really cool looking. It's awesome to have them just walking

(15:28):
around. But I mean, otherthan them just being really horny all the
time and like you know, makingtheir mating calls to the others, it's
it's really delightful to have them around. I mean, if you get past
the horniness and the and the banging, I mean, it's it's great.
They're beautiful creatures. Love, y'all. Peacocks are beautiful creatures. They fly
to every dude. Yeah, pastthe horniness and the banging this, we're
