Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know what I love about action movies.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I don't know music like this.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
This is how realistic they are brooking Jeffrey in the Morning,
you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Where there's like a giant.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Explosion tosses the hero through the air in slow motion,
and right before he hits the water tank filled with
radioactive robot sharks, his girlfriend swoops in, hanging upside down
from her helicopter and grabs him out of the sky
with one hand and then yes, gotcha, perfect hair realism.
(00:40):
And then she says something super cool like is it
time to save the Day's cat's phrase?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I'm not cool enough to come up with it.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
But there are some skeptics out there who might argue
that scene would never happen in real life.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Wow, that's a line.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
In fact, most of us like fall down by accident
walking straight sometimes.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yeah, and there's people that swoop in to save us constantly.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Beautiful women all the time.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
But I understand that's why a list just came out
where people were pointing out the wild things that happen
in movies constantly that are one hundred percent unrealistic.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Oh my mom was an EMT for fourteen years and
she is the worst to watch TV.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
And movies with.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
She's like, that's not how they would do it. They
would have broken their neck by now if you did
it that way.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Some of these things might be from our parents. Like
number ten, spotless air ducks or air ducks that can
support the weight of a two hundred pound man crawling
around through them, that aren't full of screws and bolts,
and somehow absorb all the sounds of the man moving around.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, it's unbelievable. I'm really bummed out about that.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Oh well, are you gonna run the bank or get
in to steal the priceless piece of art?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
If you can't have a nice air duct to.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Crawl through, I know, scrap the plans that we had made.
Yeahthing else. Number nine people getting pistol whipped and knocked unconscious,
then waking up a little while later, functioning completely normal,
as if nothing happened.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
No brain damage, no lump on the head, nothing.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
There is no concussions.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Eight movies, Carto.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It would really change the plot if there was.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Okay, are we saying bring back the concussions to action movies?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Forty five minutes later, he still has a headache. Yes,
can move on to the next scene.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Guys birthday. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Number eight a hero being assaulted by a dozen henchmen
one at a time, fighting with their fist, feet, metal chains,
and iron bars, only to end up with a small.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Butterfly bandage on one cheek.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
So funny and it's so choreographed, which is cool.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
It's impressive. Yeah, we love a good fight scene.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
But literally it's like, okay, you first, now to you.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
I always thought that people were just really polite when
they fought and they waited for the next person to finish.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Jose, We're gonna send you out into the park to
fight a bunch of people, and I bet you you
come back on skates.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah. Down, while if you're just joining us.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
A list came out where people highlight all the things
that happen in movies all the time that they say
could never actually.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Happen in real life.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Number seven unemployed bachelors who live in spacious penthouse apartments
in the most desirable location in the entire.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
City, or honestly, anyone with an artist type job. If
you're a writer, if you're a painter, if you were
at a radio station and you live in the house,
it's also.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah, radio slam.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I'm just saying we all know that's true.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Doing pretty well if you ask me.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Number six computer hackers pulling up a security grid saying hmm,
and then five seconds later.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I mean, yeah, I believe it. Yeah, that's how it happened.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Yeah, it's almost like the guy that cracks the codes,
the one that invented it, the FBI frame and I'm in.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Oh, yeah, I wrote this one. I was twelve.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
It's the only one I believe just because of how
many times people use password.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Is their password? Oh, that's that's really what's going on
in this.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Number five is restaurant scenes where they order a meal,
eat one bite, and then just leave the rest uneaten
on the table, not paying.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Because they have to go somewhere. Oh yeah, usually you
take that to go.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
You're like, no, I just been twenty bus for this.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
You want more eating in scenes where people are just
talking with their mouth full while say in their lines.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yes, absolutely again.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
These these are all from a list of the things
you see in movies all the time that are one
hundred percent unrealistic or impossible for the actual world.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
This is fine.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Number four stopping by in the morning to have breakfast
at a friend's apartment before you both head off to work.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Can you imagine so much showing up at your place?
Alexis like, hey, skip for a Yeah. People don't even
show up to other people's houses unannounced. Every Yeah, you
have to have at least an eight text exchange before
it actually happens.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah for real.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Number three that says, why does every grocery store bag
have loose celery.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
And baguettes in it?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Nobody buys that much celery or baguettes.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I only buy one bag. Get like, if you're going
We're brand, you buy the loaf.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
I feel like I'm gonna have to start paying attention
to selling in the bags on movies.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
But you gotta admit that sure makes it look like
groceries when you see the celery sticks.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Poking at the top of the bag, and oh wow,
they cook for themselves. Good for them.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
You're like, mine's on the egg plant, but.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
The high fiber die.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Number two the classic zoom in enhance image. Zoom in
again isolate that section, enhance it more, and we can
perfectly see.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
The face and license plate of the driver. Everything's blurry.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Honestly, my neighbor.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
We've tried to catch people doing stuff on our street,
and I'm like, he's got a security camera.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
We have never once been able to make out anybody
in the videos. It's another tall, blurry person.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Fired at ring doorbell security cameras. To the number one
most unrealistic thing that people say happen in movies, people
sprinting past tsa, no boarding past, no idea, and somehow
able to stop the plane out on the tarmac.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, and I.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Wish we could do that. I know I would have
made so many more flights that I missed.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I'm always like they closed the doors like fifteen minutes
before final. There's no way this would happen.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yeah, those were the most unrealistic things that you constantly
see in the movies that could never happen in real life.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
We got your phone tap coming up right after this
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Brooking Jeffrey in the morning.
