Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Core of
Entertainment hosted by me, The OC.
This is an audio only podcast available on Apple and available
on Spotify every Monday morning and every Wednesday morning.
And today is Monday. Thank you so much for making
this platform a part of your day, and I hope this podcast
gets your day started off the right way.

(00:20):
And I am joined by none other than a return guest, friend of
the show, dear friend. Outside of the show, Ed is my
main man. What's going on, buddy?
What's up? What's going on, man?
So you've been watching watchingsome movies.
You've been watching some movies.
Yeah, I've been rewatching some stuff, watching some new stuff.
And this is all on your own. These are movies that.
You did, right? Yeah, right.
Obviously. OK.

(00:40):
I mean some of them I've seen with like friends, but yeah.
And then so for the audience, let's refresh the audience a
little bit. Your voice was a big one because
we talked about fight scenes, wetalked about John Wick, we
talked about Roadhouse, we talked about all the crazy
nature behind combat and films. We sure did.
Now, any thoughts on that as faras that's changed?
Are you kind of sitting where your temperature was at before?

(01:03):
You know, always looking and critiquing in movies and stuff
like. That we'll get into it when it
comes to 28 weeks later, I think, OK.
Oh, brother. All right, All right, So let's
set the stage for the audience, OK?
Every podcast that people visit sometimes is their first
podcast. Sometimes they're revisiting it.

(01:23):
You're a big fan of strategic like action, like the accuracy,
you know, weapons, hand to hand combat stuff like.
That, yeah. I mean, I don't mind it if the
story, story plot is good enough.
Like the rookie I like in the last podcast.
I don't really care about the training.
We can get into that because I saw a behind the scenes footage
of them training too. And I'm like, Oh my God, where

(01:44):
do you guys get these people? That right?
Craigslist. They should.
They should have got David Ayer somebody right.
Somebody get to ran tactical or something like?
This story's good. Yeah.
The story, It's Nathan Fillion, You know, I mean, like, I mean,
aside from the accuracy, it might be more of the storyline
that pushes the rookie. Exactly.

(02:04):
You know what? I mean, it's so.
Wildly ridiculous that it's good.
Exactly. Like Fuba, OK.
Well, let's just jump right intoit, man.
What you been watching man? Oh man.
Well, recently I watched. I saw the original 28 Days Later
and 28 Weeks Later and my friendwas like, have you seen this?
I'm like, no, he's like, it's kind of like a zombie movie.
And I'm not big into zombie movies or horror movies, but I

(02:27):
was like, you know what? He started playing it and like,
it looks interesting. Like you got these animal
activists about to release theseinfected apes.
And then it just causes a whole zombie apocalypse in England or
Great Britain or. Across the pond.
Across the pond, Yeah, right. Right.
OK, So what do you think? The first one I loved.

(02:48):
It was great 'cause it's Kelly and Murphy.
Early days, early days. Yeah, I I thought it was, it is
kind of cool watching it, but then I'm like, it was filmed on
like a toast or a potato 'cause I was like very low budget.
But they did very well for that movie.
The budget comes through, but you you notice, but at the same
time you don't really care. Yeah, because the story is so

(03:10):
solid. Yeah, you had the young
Moneypenny in there from the last James Bond series.
I don't remember what her name is.
No worries, no. Worries I was like, she looks
familiar, right, right. So no, it was a good movie.
The idea of him waking up out ofa cone was pretty cool.
I'm like, OK, right. And it was hilarious.

(03:31):
Where he I don't know. Do you have you seen the movie?
Of course I I was like, it's an old movie.
It's in a minute, but I mean, itholds up.
And now with, you know, the new one in theaters, I mean, of
course, everyone's kind of scrounging and revisiting, you
know, the old stomping grounds of where that one had come from.
Yeah, I need to go see the new one.
But I love the scene where he's like, oh, father, I'm sorry, I'm

(03:52):
sorry. And he just kept like getting
closer, inching it, you know, when he cracks him over the head
with his bag. I thought it was hilarious.
And I'm like, yeah, you get you get that one right.
But it it was a good movie, so. You're not a big horror guy.
No, not really. I'm not like invested in it
really. What was the selling point for
you to go back and check when a great one like that?
It was my buddy. He turned it on.

(04:12):
I'm like, that kind of looks cool.
That looks interesting. Like there's always every zombie
movie is kind of like the same thing.
Like, oh, there's a virus outbreak and the virus is some
it. It's a different mutation of its
own. And then people start eating
people. Right, it's kind of the same
story. But yeah, but I was like,

(04:33):
looking at it. And of course, the opening
scene, he's like, oh, can we getsecurity down here to contain
these people trying to break these apes out?
And it was interesting because you watched the monkey or ape or
whatever it was eat that ladies face off.
And I was like, you know, I could watch it.
I'll watch it, right? I was like, no, it doesn't look
too bad. OK.

(04:54):
So you think you're going to kind of revisit and maybe kind
of follow that one because the new one, while it like the
inconsistencies were the new one.
I mean, it's OK. Obviously I don't want to spoil
anything for yourself or anybodylistening.
Yeah, I. Haven't even seen the trailer
for I Didn't Know. Yeah, I had no idea this
franchise existed. Well, I think it was a, it's
Danny Boyle, obviously Danny Boyle, Alex Garland kind of

(05:16):
revisiting some of the old stomping grounds.
And to your point, like it's lowbudget, cameras work great,
cinematography works great. Acting alone is what carries
some of that. You know, very seldom do you see
a film like that, you know, withthat creativity, like really,
really shines through. You know, I equate a lot of that
style filmmaking to Reservoir Dogs, you know, like on a budget

(05:37):
of like barely 16, you know, it's nothing to like, it's a lot
to sneeze at because it's like, how do they make this thing?
It's really guerrilla style. Filmmaker, if you have a
talented crew, I feel like you can do anything.
Well, if you're passionate aboutit too, you know which will come
through. So you put those two on those
ones on the the first two that you've been watching, what else
you've been watching. Don't get me started with the

(06:00):
second one. What else have I been watching?
I I saw that counting too. Yeah.
I thought they couldn't outdo the first one.
Boy was I wrong. I was like, they out they there
was a masterpiece of a movie. In my opinion.
It was it was hilarious. I'm like, it was the plot was
really good, of course, but it was hilarious enough that it's
like he just keeps you engaged the whole movie.

(06:21):
It was. I've never watched.
I don't remember the last time Iwas in a theater and watched the
movie where everyone was that engaged with a movie.
Now, this is for everybody who doesn't know.
The Accountant was a film that came out a couple years ago with
JK Simmons, Anna Kendrick and Ben Affleck.
And obviously we know the character, we know the

(06:42):
motivations. He's very probably on the
spectrum a little bit, you know?Yeah.
But it's just he's so good at what he does.
He's on the specialized spectrum.
Yeah, right, right. And then so this one, they bring
in one John Bernthal. Yeah, 'cause he was only at the
end of the like, he was sporadically through the first
one. He's like his long lost brother

(07:02):
that they don't communicate. But the second one was good.
Johnny Bernthal like being unhinged.
That was funny. Like, what does it matter?
Like I can take that dog. Like what?
Who? What difference does it make?
Either it's 8 weeks with his mother or not.
Like, let me just take the dog. Meanwhile, he's on like a side
mission, like assassinating people across the globe.

(07:23):
He's like, come on, just give methe dog.
Yeah, he's. He's fun.
I never would have imagined thatthe chemistry that Berenthal can
add to like the roles that he takes.
He's he's really good at just. About anything.
What he does, yeah. I mean, it doesn't even matter
if he's a scumbag like in The Wolf of Wall Street or Walking

(07:46):
Dead. You know what I mean?
And then, of course, he is now known as the Punisher.
The Punisher, obviously I'm. Still upset they cancelled the
original Netflix show. Oh yeah, I don't know, Like I
understand he's a Marvel character, but like getting him
in to mingle with like superheroes and stuff.
I'm like, right, he's the Punisher.
He just, he does, he uses like human violence against other

(08:09):
humans. Well, yeah.
And The thing is I I guess a lotof I got a lot of shit for this
on online and this platform by saying that the most comic book
accurate Punisher is Ray Stevenson.
Ray Stevenson from Warzone, because he's just a prick.
Everyone hates him. The cops hate him, the heroes
hate him, the villains hate him.He's just not a likable guy, you

(08:30):
know? But Berenthal can do no wrong,
can do no wrong. So you would put the account in
like as a theatrical experience,something that was like,
everyone was engaged, everyone was digging it, right?
100% do you? Think they're going to do
another one? I hope so, but I feel like
every, the third movie in every franchise is kind of a downer.

(08:53):
Like they did the first and second one we're good.
And then the third one's like, so I, I have confidence they
could pull off a third one pretty well, right?
Did you have confidence going into the sequel that this was
going to be better than the first one?
I did, yeah. I just, I didn't think they
would top the first one because the I like the first one so much

(09:14):
because it was, it was so simplethe way they filmed all the
action scenes and stuff that it was kind of comically hilarious.
Like when he's saving Anna Kendrick.
If you haven't seen the scene, go watch it.
But when he's saving Anna Kendrick, he's so cold.
He walks up acting like he's a regular guy and then out of

(09:35):
nowhere he blasts you with like 2-3 elbows, pulls out the
suppressed 1911 out of his out of his bag, puts one in his
head, shoots the other guy coming up to him.
Just like there's nothing flashyabout anything he did.
It's very cold. It's very like, it's like a cold
calculated person because he's the accountant.

(09:57):
That's that's how he is when he fights too, which is I didn't
think they could top it in the Ididn't think they could top the
first one and they did so. Before we move on to the other
thing you've been watching, whatdid you think about their
chemistry? You kind of touched on it.
What did you think about John and Ben coming together?
Could be further from the opposite.

(10:18):
I don't know, I feel like John, like going back.
John Birnthal is like friends with everyone that he works
with, it seems like. So I love the chemistry.
It was hilarious. Like Braxton, I, I need my
sunscreen. I I got sunburned twice in my
life and he just chucks the sunscreen and I was like, I
thought that scene was when they're on.

(10:38):
Top of the camper when they're when he Oh yeah, he's like oh
that's great let me see that real quick throws it just gets
rid of. It he's like Braxton.
Don't, don't, don't repeat what I just said.
It was a good movie. That's awesome.
What else you been watching? I I rewatched like another Ben
Affleck movie, The Town classic.That's a great movie, man.

(11:01):
Yeah, it's early days. Early days, Jeremy Renner, man.
And I'll be honest, everyone knows this who listens to this
podcast. I got a soft spot for Jon Hamm.
Jon Hamm, to me, can do no wrong.
I mean, he can do comedy, he cando drama, he can do action, he
can do suspense. I mean, everything from

(11:23):
Bridesmaids, which he's hilarious and just a just a a
horny scumbag of a man, a calculating businessman and land
man. And of course, Mad Men.
He was terrific in and the town.I mean, it's it there really
isn't a lot to go off of. You know, they kind of drop you
in right away. Boots on the ground.
Yeah, we're robbing this bank. Yeah.

(11:44):
And it instantaneously you're just like, what is this, you
know, And it's Affleck's, you know, performance, direction,
you know, how did that? How did it go revisiting?
Does it still hold up? Yeah, I love that movie.
Yeah. Yeah, that's awesome.
What? Shows that best friend dynamic.
It's like, hey, we're going to we're going to go do some
things. Don't ask me about it.
I'll never talk about it again. That is a great scene.

(12:06):
Whose car are we going to take? That's a.
Great. Scene.
Best scene in that movie. I feel like, yeah, especially
the suspense as it builds when he's talking to her and he's
like, they threw bottles at you.Oh, and then she's like, I'm
just fine. I I, I I just have to go the
long way. It's fine.
And he goes. I need your help.
You can never ask me why. You can never ask me about it
later. And we're going to hurt some

(12:26):
people. So who's Cal are we going to
take? Yeah, he's just.
Sitting back, relaxing, he's like, oh, it's just another
Tuesday. That's true.
The performances alone, you know, and what did you what did
you think about the way that thetown had had kind of wrapped up?
I mean, the relationship with his dad obviously is like.
Yeah, they like outed what happened exactly because he

(12:47):
didn't want to do the job for the florist.
It took me a second, but I I like the way it wrapped up.
He kind of he watched his best friend spoiler, he watched his
best friend get killed and he's like, Oh well, I got to leave,
but I'm going to low key tell this girl that the FBI is

(13:09):
watching. Hey, I'm out of here.
But you tell him I'll be around or whatever and he just kind of
left. I'm like OK.
He just kind of disappears a little bit, you know, And I
think that when it comes to those, like expectations,
obviously, and how those are filmed and that film is so
sharply edited, it looks great. The color palette looks great.

(13:32):
Quick, quick cuts. Real quick too, for sure, when
everything goes wrong and you know it's coming, you know, it's
not like Den of Thieves. It's not like heat or any of
those other like big, big set pieces, you know?
Speaking, I've started watching the second Den of Thieves.
I don't know, it's so slow, I can't get through it.
I'm like halfway through. I'm like, I'm like, I guess they

(13:57):
captured the planning of a greatcrime heist pretty accurately.
I think it's great that they usethe Pink Panthers, the Serbian
criminal group, because they, they're the guys that robbed Kim
Kardashian back in the day when in Paris.
They they, they know what they're doing right.
Do you think that the first one just holds a little bit more

(14:18):
weight? I mean, with Pablo and $0.50,
you know, for sure, like just the charisma that those guys
have, you know, and they're, I don't want to say is believable,
but each character carries a lotof weight.
I mean, Butler, Jerry Butler. I mean, come on, the guy was
Leonidas. And as Big Nick, he is the worst

(14:39):
and the best of that film, you know?
All right, all right, not bad. So the town still holds up.
The town still holds up. All right, All right.
I don't know what it is about Jeremy Renner and acting like
he's going to get rich by eitherkidnapping somebody from SWAT
from the original movie or stealing a bunch of money and
then, hey, we're going to go drink margaritas.
But he always ends up dying. Right, I don't know under.

(15:02):
I don't understand what's up, but he still does great in those
roles. So give him another, give him
another another movie where he does something bad trying to get
rich. Real quick sidebar here before
we move on to the next one you've been watching, what did
you think of him as Hawkeye in The Avengers?
I thought Hawkeye, it's like that meme, Oh, he they had him
and Black Widow have no powers. But every time he's not there,

(15:24):
The Avengers lose. I'm like, that's kind of like, I
like that. I love that.
Character. They kept them human.
There's a book right in front ofyou on the table.
It's Old Man Hawkeye. It's Old Man Hawkeye.
And here's the thing, that character to me is so
fascinating because in the show,they take inspirations from Matt
Shackman's My Life as a Weapon, where he starts losing his
hearing, he's dealing with, like, arthritis.

(15:45):
He's he's just a guy. Yeah, he's just human.
And he's getting beat up for allthese years, going on these
missions with literal geniuses and gods and monsters, you know,
but. With a bow and arrow.
Oh yes, yes, let's be fair. A special bow and arrow, like an
endless quiver of like tricks and stuff like that.
Yeah, but he runs out of him, which is.
Cool. Yeah, he does the creatability,

(16:07):
yeah. Yeah, Black Widow still has like
18. Magazine somehow finally reloads
after like halfway through the battle in New York, and there
she's like, oh, now we're gonna reload, right?
I'm like, God, he ran out of arrows.
He ran like 5 minutes. Yeah, it's like first 5 minutes
he's done and. The crazy part is he can even
like pull him out and reuse him if you can't.
It's the chance. But.
You're right. Well, one thing I loved about

(16:28):
that, one thing I loved about that character is I think it's
an Age of Ultron. When he's talking to Elizabeth
Olsen, he's like, listen, none of this makes sense, OK?
Yeah, we don't know. I don't know what I'm doing.
I have a bow and arrow, OK? It's great.
And that self aware notion is great.
Have you ever seen Mayor of Kingstown?
I haven't, it's on my list to watch.

(16:49):
When you have when you come back, we're going to have you
back, obviously, but you got to check that one out because he is
sublime in that. Him and Kyle Chandler are
amazing. Absolutely amazing.
That and whatever show that Bernthal's in that he plays that
crooked cop, I want to go see that something.
Is it we in the city? I don't know.

(17:11):
I don't remember what it's called.
He plays a crooked cop and then he finally, I've seen it all
over TikTok. He finally gets caught.
It's kind of like based on a Baltimore is a Baltimore.
I think like that. Baltimore or Brooklyn, something
with AB? Yeah, he plays a cricket cop.
Yeah, there's nothing that guy can't do.
It's like he's talented. Come on the show.
Come on. Yeah, come on, John, What are
you doing? You, you got a podcast?

(17:32):
I got a podcast. Come on, man.
I got plenty of mics and CS for you.
You know, you let me up. Hit me up.
All right, man. Let what's what's on the next on
the list. But in no particular order, I
rewatched the original Top Gun because I was bored and the
second one I had to pay for on Amazon and I was like, just play
the original 1. OK, but I'll kind of glance over

(17:54):
that. Vikings Valhalla.
We didn't talk about this last time I was on Great show.
I love that I didn't. I preface this.
I didn't watch the original Vikings.
I kind of Yeah, I know. Oh my.
Goodness. I was kind of browsing through,
I'm like, when was this filmed? OK, it's fairly new.
And then it's it's like first season goes by, second season

(18:14):
goes by and damn it, I'm on the third season and there's no more
episodes. Yeah.
Talk about gritty action. Well.
The thing? Betrayal.
Oh, dude. It's it's it's purely it's
purely an aggressive, egregious,beautiful show.

(18:37):
They take inspirations from these Vikings and shield maidens
that lived, you know, and it shows the pathway that a lot of
these, you know, clans and tribes and famous Vikings like
walked and man, you got to watchthe show.
God, you got to watch the show because the show just kind of is

(18:58):
a slow burn build up to the early days Northmen, the early
days Vikings, where they came from what they see on the
horizon and Vikings Paula is theepic Part 2 battle of what its
predecessor was. So First off, Leif Erikson Leif
is I mean, when they show up foreverybody who hasn't watched the

(19:21):
show. So that starts off with all
these clans coming together. They're they're and this is the
age where Christianity is being aggressively encroached on
Norway for wide, wide widely around the entire world.
So there are Vikings that go with the old ways and there are
Vikings that are Christians. The kicker is when Leif Erickson

(19:44):
shows up, they are feral and they have like polar bear, you
know, I mean, fur on. I mean, it is one of the
greatest scenes in the world when he says something like,
have you ever killed a man? And then he goes, no, I fought a
bear before. Oh.
Yeah, he's like you did the samething a bear would do or
something like that. But he comes back, they come,
they show up. Where all these clans are

(20:05):
gathering for the king or something?
I can't remember exactly what itis, it's been a minute since
I've seen it, but they show up from Greenland because his
father got exiled out to Greenland.
Because he was too extreme. Yeah, something like that.
I mean his his dad is extreme inthat show.
Yeah, which makes you wonder howextreme.
It's like Keith Richards tellingyou need to go to rehab.

(20:27):
Yeah. They come back primarily because
Leif Erickson's sister is looking for revenge on the
Vikings. That settled while her father
was gone and, like, sexually assaulted her and then carved a
cross in her back. Talk, talk about the The story
gets quick from there. Yeah, well, it does, and it just

(20:48):
immediately throws you in and immediately throws you in.
I mean, she, she's carving this dude out and then they're like,
oh, and then the whole show kicks off from there, right?
I mean, it's I mean to think that they're in front of a
camera, you know, when they say action or cut or line, the
bloopers completely take you outof a show like that because it's

(21:09):
so grounded. It's so grounded and so hard to
watch sometimes. But yet you still sit there and
like this is a show. This is clearly acting.
But my God, the scenery is great.
The weapons are great. I mean, there's a real sweet
call back. I'm not going to spoil it for
you, but there's a sweet call back to the original Series A
few times, which is I was, I waswaiting for it when I was coming

(21:32):
out. I was like, how does this
connect? Because everyone said, well,
it's kind of a sequel, kind of arevisiting of that world.
I'm like, okay, well, where is it?
And then they do one of the coolest callbacks right away,
which is like DiCaprio, like, there it is right there.
Yeah, yeah. Is that one show where it's like
if if you had a time machine andyou can put me in, I'd probably

(21:54):
go choose to go fight with them in like Constantinople or
something. Really.
That was such a good like that season.
I don't know, travelling throughlike Russian winter down to the
Middle East that didn't look that appealing, but where when
they it's like that old school, hey, we're going to go conquer
this town or this city and it's really hard and we're you got

(22:19):
Laif the scientist and then the Prince.
I can't remember his name. It's playing someone H.
Yeah. Oh, Harold.
Harold. Yeah.
Harold's like, OK, we're just going to obliterate them all.
And then Laif's the smart one. Yeah.
But just like coming back and being the the guys that did it,

(22:40):
and then you have all these spoils and riches and stuff.
Yeah. I was like, put me in.
I'll, I'll go right now. Put me in.
Yeah. But then I was like, when he got
captured, I'm like, how the helldo you get out of this, right?
And he saw, of course, figures out.
You gotta figure it out, right? Right there.
It's in the script. He gets out.
Well, how we don't know that. Yeah, we don't know the.
Director told him he could exactly right right The producer

(23:03):
allowed him to the. Crazy thing about the Vikings
and that whole culture is how much fear they put into people.
Like they weren't scared no to to die.
They were excited and they were like, I mean, they believed.
I mean, what they kind of touch on some of the gods, they kind
of touch on some of the belief systems.
It's more in the original serieswith Ragnar and Lagatha that

(23:25):
they touch really heavily on thereligious side of the Vikings,
early days Vikings and that culture.
But in this one, I mean, I wouldbe remiss if I did not mention
my favorite character in that inValhalla, which is Forkbeard.
Fork beard. Fork beard was cool.
He is this like, I love it. And as a father, I can 110%

(23:47):
credit where the kids are running.
They're doing whatever they want.
They're they're just having the time of their life.
And then when Dad shows up, they're like, oh crap.
I love that. He's like his son's wife.
The queen is like doing all thisbetrayal and stuff and he's the
one that sets her his sets her in her place.

(24:07):
I was like, that is cold. I love that.
Well, and he is intense, man. The beard, the just the you can
tell this guy has been through it.
And I love that he has the vibe like, yeah, these fucking kids.
Seriously. You know, it's just that.
I know I was kind of like the way he went out.
I I understand 'cause I mean, hetold him how he took his own

(24:31):
father out to take over power, but I'm like.
A lot of foreshadowing. Yeah, but then I seen him goes
like, God damn it, I wish you put up more of a fight.
That would have been a lot cooler right than than the way
he went out. But hey.
What are you going to do? You know what I mean?
Like, yeah, it was filmed a longtime ago.
Nobody's making out of that. But.
I mean, yeah, the way that Leif's sister gets rid of

(24:55):
Harold's brother. I can't remember the name save
my life but that. He was one that just rubbed me
the wrong way from the get go. Oh, yeah, he, he did.
He's a great actor. Oh, yeah.
His goal was to make you upset. And he he accomplished that
every. Time.
Well, yeah, the second he's on screen, before you even know who
he is, I'm just like, I don't like this.
Praying like God damn it. Fuck, is this guy, you know what
I mean? You can't be a Christian and a

(25:16):
Viking. Yeah, you can't do that.
And of course, this is like, obviously it is like it's not
history with a capital H it's, you know, they they gotta make
it entertaining. They gotta have some type of
drama, some type of romance, some types of battle, but by
God, is it not fun. Yeah.
I mean, it's also like an interpretation, like how the
hell do you know what actually happened?

(25:37):
Right. I'm watching it.
They're all dying, clearly. Yeah.
Oh, now we're gonna sail out andfind America before Columbus?
Like OK. Well, yeah.
And like, I think that there's so much more within that world
of how they built their ships, how they fought.
Yeah. And it's just a real fun show,
really good TV. Yeah, it just.
Reminds me of the SpongeBob episode.

(25:59):
He's like, you gotta follow the Moss that's north or whatever.
Leif Erickson. I think that is the.
First comparison on the Internetthat SpongeBob did it better
than Vikings. I don't know about that one.
What you You're the one that brought it up which?
I thought the meme is hilarious,but I'm like that that show is
really good. I wish, I wish they kind of kept

(26:20):
going after the third season because I'm like, you could have
done typical Netflix. I'm like, you could have done a
spin off of Harold's story because now he's king, he's
taking over. You could have done a spin off
because they kind of did the spin off where they it could
have been a spin off like her father and late father because
he's just a fucking crazy person.
But then they they go journeyingout to America 'cause I'm like,

(26:42):
probably, but nobody knows what happened to him after anyway.
But right. Well, I mean kind of made a spin
off. But the, but the idea behind
like there's endless avenues that you guys can take on this.
And, you know, now we know like in reality, we know that the
various Viking settlements do predate Columbus, like up in
British Columbia, up in parts ofCanada.
We know that the Mongs back Genghis Khan in those early

(27:06):
days, they sailed everywhere, you know.
They played the ice bridge between Russia and Alaska.
You can that's how the the original theory of the natives
being here is they walk that until they hit land.
So that's. Fascinating.
Like God damn it, Netflix. Seriously.
Like you're printing money. I would like a percentage for

(27:26):
yeah for my ideas. Yeah, at at the Core of
Entertainment on Apple and Spotify, please.
This is Edison, you know. I'll come consult for the combat
scenes. There you go.
We don't mess that up again. Exactly.
All right, my man, What else you've been watching?
The well, the most recent movie that I like watched from
beginning to start was the Old guard 2.

(27:47):
So OK, I've seen the first one. The scene, the first one was it
was good. I liked it A lot of political
like a lot of like wokeness in it makes you really sprinkled
throughout it. Yeah, because it's like people
are going to take this the wrongway.
But the main character is in Dramaki who like traditionally

(28:09):
when when Troy fell everything was because of her, but now
she's like this great warrior over time, which is cool because
Charlize Theron she is she's onehell of a warrior.
Like the whole movie makes she forgot more ways to kill than
she actually knows. Right.
Good movie but her like her going up against some like £350

(28:34):
guy. Like no, I know you're immortal,
but no. All right, well, like here's the
thing. So for me personally, the the
nature of that of that film, theone thing I did enjoy a lot
about it once you're talking to a massive comic book fan here.
So when it comes to like the adaptation of how it's like

(28:55):
displayed and how it's done, that concept to me is very
fascinating. You know, this race of immortal
beings where loved it and they it's really odd because it's not
quite like Highlander, it's not quite like Berserk.
The Keanu Reeves book right there where he's, that's a great
representation, where he was literally born via caveman and

(29:16):
he is of this special OPS group.And now he's just been living.
And his representation is so funny because they're like, you
know, they're, they're coming for you.
They know who you are. They know you've been here since
the beginning of time. And he could not care less
'cause he knows, yeah, this has happened before.
This has happened before they found me.
Typical Keanu Reef to kill everybody.

(29:38):
It's. So dude, it is so good For
anybody out there that wants to check it out, Berserk is one of
the greatest comic book adaptations 'cause it's more
grounded. The old guard kind of focuses
more on the archetypes of like, what do you do with this
immortality, right? And the concept behind that,
that where Berserk really succeeded in the old guard, kind

(30:01):
of like it was a little like middle of the lane.
I don't want to say I hated it, but it was definitely middle of
the lane. But I am fascinated with that
idea that they've just been living and they don't know if
they're going to come back or not.
Yeah, their immortality disappears whenever, but I like
the concept of she's got a like team of men and women from

(30:22):
different periods of history. Like I kind of like as much as
Booker betrayed everyone, he waskind of my favorite character
because he was the techie guy. He's like, oh, I'll go get it
done, whatever. But then you haven't drama cues
like, oh, I got to delete this picture of me that that's in the
background, the selfie, because somebody might recognize that
I'm 3000 years old or whatever. They should have done the they

(30:45):
should have done the Kingo from Immortals where he just plays
his father because he's immortaltoo.
And in that in the Eternals in Marvel, it's a great hook of
like, how do you get around being famous?
But you've been alive since the beginning of time and he just
basically dressed up. He claimed to be his own father
and his own grandfather, you know, So it just continued so no

(31:06):
one would get suspicious of like, this guy looks familiar,
you know? And then it just like thousands
of years and thousands of years.But I mean, Charlize, I mean,
let's be fair. I mean Furiosa, the original
Furiosa, I mean, just, I don't think really.
And you know Prometheus, I mean,she can't really do any wrong,
you know what I mean? I mean, Netflix, if you're

(31:26):
watching, I would suggest you ifyou want to do a historical
movie, make it about her and herimmortality, but like when Troy
fell, because that's another oneof my favorite movies.
Troy with Brad Pitt. I'm like, now do it like from if
you're going to make it about like a female warrior, do that
because that would look that would look cool.
Like, Oh, Troy fell and then herstart her story from there.

(31:50):
Because like, how did how did she find out?
Because she she doesn't talk about why or how she found out
or anything about her immortality.
She's just been there and done that.
Well, there's a story there. Once again, they're painting a
whole picture for you. Spin it off.
I want to see her fight or run away from the burning city of
Troy and get into it. Like come on.

(32:13):
First one was good. I like the first one.
The second one, I'm like the theIT was good, but the whole
storyline, I'm like, I'm kind ofconfused on what we're doing
here, the whole movie and then towards the end they leave you
on a cliffhanger and I'm like, well, I just understood what the
whole point of this movie was to.
Set up for the next one. Yeah, but it's been like, I'm

(32:33):
never, I don't usually Google reviews, but I was kind of
disappointed in the second one. I was like, what the heck is
going on here? So I Googled it and everyone's
like, it's been too many. It's been enough time from the
first one that the second one's kind of like.
Well, you're not striking when the iron's hot.
Yeah. It's kind of like it's, it's
been a minute. Yeah, yeah.
It's been a minute and now we'rekind of just sitting here and

(32:55):
it's like, OK, And they're kind of just plugging holes where the
first one kind of left off. Making sure you, you remember,
you know what I mean. Hey, remember this?
Yeah. OK, cool.
Because. When when they fished Quinn out
of the ocean after she was banished and she keeps dying and
coming back to life under the ocean.
You would think like in the second one some like random

(33:17):
fisherman would have found her or something.
And she she's been under the ocean for centuries.
She'd come out and not knowing what.
But no, it's like another immortal fishing her out of the
sea and you're kind of confused to like what the point is.
And she's like the the the mortal that fished her out was
the original immortal, but nobody knew about her except

(33:37):
this one guy who didn't speak for thousands of years about the
original. I'm like, what?
Right, right. It it made it kind of didn't
make sense. Right, well, it I will say that
it is better than Marky Mark's portrayal of Infinity.
Do you ever see that one where Mark Wahlberg plays a Highlander
man? It's kind of like an
amalgamation. You're not missing much.

(33:59):
I love Mark Wahlberg in in certain roles, but anybody who
says that they could have stopped 9/11 his words not mine.
I'll I'll refrain. From oh, I've seen that clip
where he's like, yeah, I could have done that.
I mean, I feel guys, we think wecan land a commercial airliner
with no training. Oh, the pilots had a heart
attack. Don't worry, I got this guys

(34:20):
right. I'll take care I have ACDL so I
can if I can operate a semi I can land this 747.
Safely. Yeah.
Safely. Respectfully.
Yeah, I have no idea. Mark yeah, you watched too many
of your own movies. Relax.
You're an actor. Yeah.
You were the underwear guy before Ed is here was born.
So let's be fair. All right, man, What if?

(34:42):
She would watch Calvin Klein. Yeah.
Oh yeah. Yeah, exactly.
Trust me, my wife and I rememberthat.
My wife a little bit more than me, but you know, I remember it
for sure. But at that point it's I think
that like it's it's a very interesting concept when you
deal with immortal warriors, thestory there could be really fun.
The story there could be really captivating, you know, because
you got to kind of reference well, why are they immortal?

(35:05):
You know it's. Kind of like the Assassin's
Creed game, like video game, like that's what that reminds me
of because you're going through history, you're making up like
stories now. And I love that idea and
concept. I'm like, I don't know, take me
back to 1492 and put an Assassinin there.

(35:25):
That sounds cool, right? Right.
Right. Christopher Columbus, a Templar
or whatever, Right, right. Assassin's Creed is unique.
It is, it is. Did you play all of them?
I haven't played all of them. I Remember Me and my brother, we
spent one summer playing. The only game we played was
Assassin's Creed Revelations where there where it's Ezio and

(35:48):
Turkey. That was great.
Like, you got Constantinople andhe's running around doing his
thing, and that one was my favorite.
Oh yeah, I. Played the third one where it's
like the Revolutionary War. I don't know.
I'm like, I can turn into a bird.
Like, it was cool, right? But the Revelations is my
favorite. Yeah.
Black Flag, it was always mine when you do have pirates and

(36:10):
stuff like that, you know, but I'm, I'm also a suck it for a
good pirate, you know, kind of vibe, you know, like Black Sails
and Pirates of the Caribbean. You know, I mean, obviously it's
it's kind of more of a light, light hearted kind of vibe.
But anything in those in that, in that realm of like time
travel, you know, and like different, like monumental
points throughout history. You can't go bad with that.

(36:33):
No, I don't think you could, unless you like spin the story
very like one way or another. And I was like, OK.
What are we doing here? Yeah, like we just make the make
it entertaining. Like we know history.
Yeah, let's just be entertained now.
Yeah, like why stop spinning history in like someone's
viewpoint? But alrighty, what else you've
been watching? Or watch the second season of

(36:53):
Foobar. OK, so let's talk about Arnold
not retiring. Let's talk.
About Arnold. Let's talk about Arnold real
quick. OK, so Arnold Schwarzenegger.
He probably is responsible for an entire generation of men and
women going to the gym. He redefined the action genre.

(37:16):
He redefined what an action herois supposed to look like.
He is on the Mount Rushmore of probably 95% of the populations.
Mount Rushmore of action heroes.Yeah, I mean, he's the commando.
OK. Spin off of Ramba, Yeah.
No one's holding a gun that big,even with arms that big.
That is ridiculous and I loved every minute of it.

(37:37):
Exactly. OK, yeah, I remember.
I remember. My dad made me watch that movie.
I'm sure he's like sit down and watch this.
I was like, this is cool. Yeah, right.
And I did the same thing to my son.
I did the same thing. And I was like, hey, you got to
check this out. And then he's like, what is it?
And I said, well, this one's called Commando.
He's like, OK. And then we saw it.
And he was like, hey, isn't thatthat one guy?

(37:58):
That's that robot. And I was like, Terminator.
Yeah. Good for you.
Good for you. I haven't failed you.
Good. Another franchise he won't let
die. Well, let's be fair.
There's there's. OK, we can talk about Terminator
here in a minute, but FUBAR is an interesting one.
I like FUBAR, I'll take it along.
I get you. I want to hear your thoughts.

(38:19):
But for me, when I first heard the idea, like Arnold's doing
something with Netflix, what is he going to be doing?
What could this guy possibly do?I thought The Last Stand with
Johnny Knoxville was. That was pretty entertaining.
I thought that was great. You cannot beat Johnny Knoxville
with a little hand cannon. And he pulls it back and it
breaks the nose. I mean, it's just, it's great.

(38:41):
It's so fun, but we know that Arnold is eternal when it comes
to action movies in the standardof, of action films.
When FUBAR came out, I didn't exactly know like where they
were going with it. As far as I, I, I watched it.
It was fun. It was obviously Arnold is not a

(39:03):
spring chicken by any means. And you see it.
That's clearly a stunt double. He's got longer hair.
Oh yeah, yeah. In between cuts you're like, he
was a spray tan guy. Exactly.
That's not you, right? It's like that episode of Family
Guy where Stewie jumps out a window and it's a guy with a
mustache and he lands at a dumpster and then Stewie comes
out. Yeah, anyway, so FUBAR, go

(39:24):
ahead. It was just a good watch.
Like obviously Arnold can't sit still doing anything ever in his
life. He can't retire.
So he decided to make a comedy show on Netflix.
I'm like, what a what an interesting idea this is.
And then they, there's that app in the in the show in the first
season where his like son makes that app or whatever, you can

(39:46):
scan the price tag. He gets hit with a lawsuit in
real life about that by somebodywho actually made that app.
Of course Arnold would get hit with this, and now he's got to
figure it out. Man, I I will say though if
foobar. Funny.
Foobar is entertaining. I will say it's entertaining if
you don't really think about it too much.
It's it's pretty fun. Yeah, I will say the marketing

(40:09):
for Foobar was probably some of the greatest marketing that I've
ever seen where extraction with Chris Hemsworth.
I remember that now, yeah. Yeah.
So that was coming out and Foobar was coming out and
they're in the elevator together.
And then he tries to give him advice on marketing for
extraction. And it's like, you need to, you

(40:30):
need to hit the man with the clock and say your time is up.
Or then you knock someone's teeth out and say you're overdue
for an extraction. You know, I was like laughing.
Laughing like tenfold was great,but.
Typical Arnold comedy. Oh, it's great.
Man, I mean the, I was sitting there with my buddy and I was
like, have you watched FUBAR? He's like, no, I'm like, it's an

(40:50):
Arnold show. And he kind of rolled his eyes.
He's like, yeah, this can't be that good.
I'm like, it's so bad that it's hilarious.
And he's like, you know what? He puts on the first episode and
within like the first 5 minutes he's making fun of his like
super feminine, like son-in-law.He's like, come on Cardo, Those
those paintings ain't gonna finger themselves.

(41:12):
Yeah, because he's a kindergarten teacher.
Yeah, yeah. My buddy saw that and he laughed
so hard. He's like, I like this so.
It's cute and that I think that it's like, it's definitely like
we talked about like Terminator and a few of the other ones.
He's definitely out of place. And I think that's what makes
the comedy even work so well is because we all know who Arnold

(41:33):
is. We know what movies he's done
and now he's like plucked out ofthat time and put it at this
time and it's still Arnold, you know?
I mean, do you have a favorite Arnold aside from FUBAR in that
performance? Do you have a favorite Arnold,
you know, performance? Probably in between True Lies or
Commando, Really those two there's.

(41:53):
True lies true. Lies is also hilarious.
Well, yeah, and it it works. It works on so many levels.
I'd probably have to pick True Lies over commando.
Just really humor. Oh, yeah.
Well, Tom, he's. A little.
He's a little older by then, but.
Yeah, he's, I mean, you cannot be the, the amazing Jamie Lee
Curtis. We all know the scene I'm
talking about, which you're like, OK, all right.

(42:16):
I mean, Arnold was about to jumpa horse off a building and the
horse was like, hey, yeah, how about we don't?
Do that, that back and forth that he had with the fucking
horse on the rooftop and he's like, OK, back up, back up, back
up and he goes, what the hell iswrong with you?
I had the guy and you let him get away.
Look at me when I'm talking to you.

(42:36):
It's. It's not even his horse.
The horse is like what the hell?What?
Kind of cop, are you in? What kind of 220 lbs savages on
my? Back Exactly.
Well, I love how he apologizes to sorry.
He takes the cop off the horse and he's just riding it through.
You can't deny that. Like the chops of like what?
Like if you have the right director in the right setting,

(42:58):
something like Arnold, like, he's not that funny, is he?
And then in True Lies, he is funny.
He is funny as hell. I feel like Arnold can just do
whatever he wants. I think he does.
And he's like, oh, I'm not a politician, But then I ran for
governor and won. Yeah, no.
True Lies is good. True Lies is a fun one, my
personal favorite for any performance on an Arnold side

(43:21):
would probably have to be I would say I really like
Terminator and Terminator 2. I think both of those.
I mean, you got the redefining like the sci-fi horror, you
know, genre, which the first Terminator, with all due respect
of how sci-fi it is, Michael Bean and Linda Hamilton, amazing

(43:46):
chemistry. But it is a horror movie in a
lot of ways 'cause they're just running from this machine.
They just can't do anything to it.
You can run and you're going to have to, you can do stuff to
slow it down, but it's, it's notgoing to stop.
And then in the second one, I mean, now it's flipped.
He's the good guy, you know which I mean.

(44:06):
You can't go around killing people.
Why not exactly? It's dude.
It's it's so good. And I roll a tear every single
time that movie ends when Joe iscrying, begging him not to go,
you know, thumbs up. Yeah, that's that's that's the
way to go. That's iconic in itself, you
know what I mean? But I would say definitely

(44:27):
Terminator 2 for sure. And I think there's a lot of
other roles that he did where hedoesn't get a lot of credit.
Obviously, Kindergarten Cop is great.
Fucking great movie. Right, right.
And Twins with Danny DeVito. Yeah, I've seen that.
How great is? That it's been a while.
Could not be further, could not be further from it, which is
great. Kindergarten Cop, I don't know
what it is with like Arnold and action comedy movies like he

(44:50):
can. Pull it off.
You know, it's great. It's like, and the kids are the
ones that you know that like ruin him, you know, and he's
just losing this can. You imagine making that movie
now No where that little kids talking about gender dude.
Dude I'm like Arnold would have a headache and he would die from
a tumor 'cause they would massacre him.
Except for making that movie. Well, and the fun part about

(45:12):
like, like, obviously it's not the tumor.
It's just like, it's like one ofthe, it's just like the the
amount of, I think the amount oflike realism behind that,
whether it's the kids going through all the stuff that the
kids are going through or how he's resonating with this
environment that he's been placed in, you know, and I mean,

(45:36):
he's got his the king of 1 liners.
I'm the body pooper. It's like, may I sit down?
It's just like, all right, I guess you know what I mean?
Like, I don't think that there'sa whole lot like to be to really
be gained for like a career wisethat you try to do like comedy
or inject some type of comedy and to inject some type of

(45:57):
action and A and a good story, you know?
He's like, he's like the the role model if you want to do
anything because the Austrians didn't like him when he spoke
German because he was too rural.He was like a heck considered to
Austrians like don't speak German.
And then he could never get English without like the proper
accent. And then yet he did everything

(46:18):
he wanted to set his mind out todo.
He's like, he is that guy. Well, and he.
Sucks watching him get old now. Well, and I, I.
Think it's just it's a mark on like you immigrate to a country,
you put a very cult underground sport on the map and

(46:39):
bodybuilding and then you take afew roles here and there and
then you come out and do Conan and then you come out and just
redefine this, you know, the action genre.
You essentially become the staple of this genre that
inspires Stallone to get, you know?

(47:00):
Bigger the feud? I mean, like the amount of like
gravity that he was able to pull, you know?
And then I think I'm going to run for office here.
And then not only run for office, but you get it, you
know? He's the original.
Hey bro, hold my beer. Exactly do this.
Oh man like and you are right onthat one.

(47:20):
I think that may be why FUBAR doesn't hit with certain people
because it does kind of bum bum me out to feel like God, he is
kind of getting old as me. But I mean, he's still Arnold.
He's still Arnold, but man does it.
I mean, he has, he has that like3 episode documentary on
Netflix. I've seen that too.
And it's like, I don't know, it's, it sucks watching him get
old. One of my, this guy I used to

(47:42):
spar with very briefly, he was out, Arnold was out here a
couple years ago, probably looking to buy property or real
estate or somewhere, right? My buddy was probably in between
jobs. I don't know the whole story.
I know he was on the security detail for when Arnold came into
town. I'm like, that's the coolest
thing ever, seeing somebody, youknow, like because he's a
bodybuilder too. So talk about like.

(48:03):
All right, Yeah, Talk. About hey, I'm doing, I'm
working for the guy that just started it all, so.
What was it like? Did he meet him?
Oh, yeah. He they, they he was on like his
personal detail while he was here in Colorado, and then once
he left on to the next gig or whatever.
Right. But it was cool to see like, oh,

(48:24):
hey, I, I know that guy. Yeah.
What the hell is Arnold doing? You're like, that's cool.
That's awesome man. What would the?
Oh, that's a good question. Right there when I ran it when I
was a kid, I was, I went hiking in the middle of nowhere.
And the guy who did Santa Claus,what's his name?
Tim Allen, Yeah. I saw it.
It was a it was a off road trailand I look over and Tim Allen's

(48:46):
coming down and this his lifted Jeep just waited.
I'm like, that looks awfully familiar.
And I was like, he, Buzz. Lightyear.
Yeah, I was like he did. He's Santa Claus.
That's awesome. In the middle of nowhere.
Colorado. Colorado.
Yeah, he's from out here. At 5280, man, he's from here.
And that's so wild to think about, like.
And I was like 12. I'm like, I know that guy from
somewhere, right? Right.

(49:07):
Oh, man, that's see, there's notmany.
There's not many like celebrities, directors or like
icons that would like make people like Buckle or like a
dream come true to like see them, you know?
Is Arnold one of them for you? Yeah, but I I don't think I
would be fan fanning over any celebrity.
And I think. That that's a little cringy when

(49:28):
people are like, Oh my God, Oh my God, bro, I'm like, there's
good to see you like. There's nobody out there that
you would buckle to see. Man, I don't think I could like
I don't Fiona Reeves, Keanu Reeves.
I would. I wouldn't mind like meeting
count, but I wouldn't buckle or anything.
Really. Yeah.
Not even Tom Hardy? Probably not.
No, man, I would. Yeah, dude.

(49:49):
Oh, dude, I would fucking like. I'd be like you, man.
Like I probably couldn't even talk.
Are you kidding? I.
I'm like, I, I don't know, I've tried to see if I feel like
they're just used to people likeswooning over and it's like,
bro, just be normal. Like hey, I love this thing.
You're in cool to meet you like or cool to see you around.
Yeah, well, I mean, like, 'causeyou know, that I think that you

(50:12):
make a good point and obviously played for humor here.
And the fact of, like, being able to meet like somebody like
John Berenthal or Arnold or Keanu Reeves or anything like
that would just kind of resonateto the level of how grounded
they are, you know what I mean? And especially when it comes to
that, they are people you know. It's just an Organism.
And literally, it just so happens that this person is so

(50:35):
successful and they've been in everything that you're like,
dude, I love your fucking movies.
I love everything that you've done.
This is awesome. You know which I mean, you know,
we, you know, we think we tend to think about like the staple
of like Arnold and like everything that he's done and
like Keanu Reeves, the massive like renaissance with these two

(50:56):
characters that have been aroundfor so long, you know, but what
are you going to do? They are people.
Yeah, it's kind of it's now you have like, it's not even
celebrities anymore. Now it's like you see this
influence or call whatever you want and people like throwing
themselves out. I'm like, bro, it's a little
cringy that like this is, this is your life.

(51:17):
Like you quit. Like you come off like they
don't like that, right? They're they're human.
Like you are like, yeah, say hi and keep it pushing.
Right, right. Keep it rolling.
Yeah, and it's like, oh, can I come and work for you?
I want to work for you. Come, I'll, I'll do any.
I'll work for free. I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll.
And it's like, bro, they're not going to.
That's not a good sales pitch. You know, just act cool.

(51:39):
Yeah, be cool. I can honestly say that the, the
essence of like meeting somebodylike that.
I mean, if you had the, the foreground to, I've told the
story before on the pod that my wife and my son long, long, long
ago, early 2000s, they were up in Aspen.

(51:59):
They're up in Aspen and my son, little kid, he's like crawling
all over my wife and like pulling her hair.
And this is being a little kid, being a little kid.
And then somebody puts their hand on my wife's back and says,
really cute kid and then Pats her on the back and then leaves.
And she's like, oh, thanks. And just like it's like clawing

(52:22):
all over. She's getting upset.
And then there's this girl that goes runs right by her and
another girl goes right by her. And then she's like, what is
going on? And one of the girls in the
store was like, oh, Brad Pitt was just here.
Oh yeah, Aspen. Where I used to where.
I was an instructor at, we had a, we had a client, they had a

(52:45):
house up in Snowmass and they Airbnb it, which is right next
to Aspen for those of you who don't know.
And she's like, they, they're the those exactly what you're
talking about. Kim Kardashian's in town, Brad
Pitt's in town, Angelina Jolie flew in, Michelle Obama flew in
with her kids. They're all going skiing.
And it's uncomfortable when you go out there because you walk

(53:05):
into like just a store and that they immediately qualify you.
They're like, hey, so I, becauseI walked into a Rolex store, I
was like, I want to, I want to see what a Rolex looks like in
person. I walked in and they're like
immediately they're like, oh, sowhere are you from?
I'm like Denver, like, oh, immediately they're like, I'm
just, or if you hit the I'm justlooking.

(53:25):
Yeah, they're like, God damn. It they're like we've heard
about you, you have the you're poor, you have the you we've
heard about you, you have the green cotton paper and you're
and you're like, you mean money.It's like, no, it's not on the
plastic. I got cash.
Well, I mean, I did it. It's like Kim Kardashian was
just in here and we have to shutthe whole store down because

(53:46):
it's Kim Kardashian. Yeah.
But then it's like, when you think about it, it's like you're
just Kim Kardashian wears a helmet and a ski, like a ski
mask and everything. You can't tell it's Kim
Kardashian. You just enough.
It's just another person. Like, so yeah, I probably
wouldn't be swooning over anybody that I could think of.
Yeah. Be like, oh, OK, that's pretty
cool. The ironic thing is my wife

(54:07):
tells that story so much, which is great.
And like, F1 just came out and then she every so often I'm
like, it's just so crazy to me that you met him.
You met him and that was, you know, I mean, like, how cool is
that, you know? Was it like a?
Was it a normal interaction or was it he literally?
Just said he just said cute kid and pat.

(54:28):
At her. Oh, that was him.
Yeah, it was Brad Pitt. That was Brad Pitt who said
that. And then she didn't realize who
it was. OK, Brad Pitt's the only man
that gets a gets a pass on Pat and your wife.
Well, yeah, it was like someone else.
You'd be like what the fuck? Yeah, at that point, I'm like
Brad Pitt. Wait, Fight Club, Brad Pitt.

(54:49):
It's like, listen, if it's between him and me, I'd pick
him. It's.
Achilles over there, we're goingto take a chill pill.
Right. That's awesome, man.
Are you watching anything else lately or that's about it?
I think I rewatched like limitless.
OK, cool. Early.
Days early days, Bradley. Cooper I love that.
Also, that idea of you can take a pill and becomes like, your

(55:11):
brain is superhuman. I'm like, give me a pack of that
and give me a week. I'll be rich by the end of that,
and we'll just go retire. Yeah.
That's I, I definitely think that when it comes to like
revisiting some of that stuff and revisiting so many of those
like pointed, pointed like filmsand like to think like where

(55:32):
Bradley Cooper was at that pointand then to see where he is now.
I mean, it's really, it's reallywild to see that whole like the
hangover, like Boosted, like hiswhole, his whole.
Career. And then he landed American
Sniper. He got beefy for that man, boy.
Huge. Huge, huge.
It wasn't just the beard, either.

(55:53):
Yeah, the man was big. He was big.
For sure he portrayed us what Texas boy Pretty good.
What do you think of it? I liked it.
Yeah. I well, I liked it because I
have no idea of like, what the true story, Like they based it
off the book. But then you listen to somebody
like Jocko, who was who, God Dang it, I'm blaming it on his

(56:17):
name. Chris Kyle was like direct under
the command of Jocko because he was the commander of task unit
bruiser Jocko. He's like, yeah, wasn't really
like that. Like the guys would not be
acting this way. Those guys were actually, they
were proud to be there. They weren't like complaining or
moaning about anything. So I was like, well, I haven't
even thought about it. But as a movie, I liked it.

(56:39):
Right, Right. Yeah, like pretty realistic.
Like there's some barbaric things that go that happened and
they portrayed it pretty well. Like especially the I can't
complain. I thought that the nature of his
inception to wanting to serve was was really captivating
through that film, you know, where he was like, I'm going to

(57:01):
go do this, I'm going to go do this.
I have a responsibility or I feel like I have, you know, I
feel like there's something there that I have to go do.
I don't quit. Like that's a cold, cold line.
I don't quit. I'm like, OK, we've heard that
one before, right? Right.
But in the performance alone of like what really good, really

(57:22):
good performance, I would, I would give it, I would, I would
give up for a lot for Brad Bradley Cooper on that one,
which was really fun. I was joking with somebody who
was a sniper for the Army, and he made the joke.
He's like, I don't like shootingthings I can't that aren't
breathing or I can't see or something.
Where you remember when he shot the rattlesnake?
I was like, yeah, bro, cool. Like you watched American
Snipers. That's my favorite movie.

(57:43):
I was like, of course it is. Of course.
It is. Like bro, you were in Iraq.
I get it like sniper this that. I'm like, I didn't realize my
movie quote could make you happytoday.
So. Well, and with your like
interest and like your background and your, you know,
the interest that you have like with the combat scenes like in

(58:04):
films and all the combat that you actually practice and you
actually do on a daily basis. How did it?
How does it hit you when you seea adaptation of something that
you're passionate about? So like you have, we talked a
little bit about the terminalist, We talked a little
bit about that. And those books, I just finished

(58:25):
the whole series, by the way, the 6th and 7th book.
And when you see it brought to like the small screen on like, I
don't know, like an Amazon, where do you where does that?
Where do you find it? Before we get out of here, I
just wanted to get your opinion on that of what what it was from
the book and like reading it to the adaptation on the small

(58:47):
screen. I liked it.
It was entertaining to watch. Of course the book is always
going to be better because there's so much more detail and
stuff. The one thing I was kind of like
let down with in the terminal list was like in the book he
writes about a young blonde, super attractive reporter that
he like teams up with to put outhis story.

(59:10):
And then you watch the show and it's like not knocking the lady
or anything, but they they cast it like an Asian girl to be the
young blonde, like American proud American reporter.
I think there's obviously some scenes, if you were to take that
from the book and put it in the show or a movie, you'd have to

(59:34):
probably make it rated R becausein the book, he, he tortures one
of the guys who was responsible for his family's assassination.
Pretty much he take he, like, carves out his intestines and
stakes it stakes at one end intoa tree and makes him walk around
the tree until he gets entangled.
Yeah. Like you can't put that in a
show. No, no.
But I wish they Chris Pratt did a great job with acting like a

(59:59):
seal. I wish the one thing they did is
in the book they Jack Carr writes about a lot about martial
arts. They use collie, they use this
technique. He was super in a detail.
He's kind of on the spectrum about how much detail he puts in
the hand to hand fight scenes. I'm hoping they kind of put some
of that into the future because they just they're about to do a

(01:00:20):
spin off with that Ben Edwards character and they're filming
season 2 for I think it's the Savage song, which is the second
book in the series. So I'm hoping they see they do a
little more like hand to hand asdescribed in the book.
But other than that, I think it was great.

(01:00:41):
They they followed the storyline.
I don't think he hallucinated that much in the originally in
the book. He hallucinated a bunch and I
mean, he's got a tumor growing in his head.
But it was a good it was a good show.
I liked it. Where did you put it on the
unlevel of accuracy to like the accuracy of like the combat

(01:01:01):
scenes and like the firearms? Because that's also a big one
too. Yeah, the, the, I mean, you have
Jack Carr, who's an actual SEAL consulting on the show.
And then of course you have professionals that were brought
in to train the actors on doing those scenes.
So there's a cameo where Jack Carr like smack, they get into

(01:01:24):
Chris Pratt backs his Toyota 4 runner up into or Land Cruiser
back up into Jack Carr. He's like, hey, man, sorry I
didn't see you there. Because he he found out that
Jack Carr is tailing him and they get into this gunfight and
it was great because he shoots him, he moves, he gets off the
axe, which he moves around to the driver's side of the door.

(01:01:44):
He checks that obviously this guy's dead or he won't spring up
and shoot him again. And then he conducts a magazine
change to top off his gun in case he needs to.
I thought that was great. You don't see that like John
Wick will go till he's out of bullets.
This guy, he knows he has bullets still in his gun in his
magazine, but he tops it off anyway.
He's like Tac Relo's reholsters books it out of there after he

(01:02:08):
grabs the file that was meant for like the hit list that was
out for him. So that was AI thought it was
great. I'm just hoping they put in more
hand to hand in there. Yeah, yeah.
Well, I mean, you got to think like those adaptations are
always great when you got the brains behind the original 1
producing it and bringing everything to the forefront and
bringing everything to light. And then you get the honest

(01:02:30):
portrayal and, you know, it's Chris Pratt.
You know, say what you will about Pratt.
Jack Carr's his like. His logo is 2 Winkler blade
Tomahawks crossed together like battle Tomahawks and they're
they got. It's not just a regular
tomahawk. It's got like a giant spike on
the front in the back of it. And throughout the whole series

(01:02:50):
of books, James Reese, the character, he will mess people
up with that tomahawk. So they need to they they need
to start doing that in the show.He goes like ape.
Like he'll go complete savage. With that thing exactly, he'll
go caveman on play with an axe and the last two books.
If you haven't read the books, Irecommend it, they're great.

(01:03:12):
What are so? What are so for everybody out
there who doesn't know, what arethe books for the terminal list?
So there's seven of them. OK, First one is the terminal
list. The second one, yeah.
God, the savage sign. I just read in Only in the dead
and Red red sky morning or something like.

(01:03:34):
That check them out, though. Yeah, check them out.
The first 3 or 4 are very like there's so there's only so much
if person can do. Obviously like James Reese is
starting to become James Bond towards the end and there's a
there's a very James Bond esque ending.

(01:03:54):
But I hope he brings the character back later on because
now he's like taking the series and he's writing about James
Reese's father who was a SEAL back in Vietnam and then he
turns into Acia spy. So I'm going to have to pick up
that book at some. Point.
That sounds awesome. I like that world building
aspect. The thing about the Terminal
List series is Jack Carr. When you read the books, he'll

(01:04:15):
use current events and plug themin there, COVID, China, Ukraine,
Iran, Iraq. And he'll weave a story of James
Reese going through this. But it has current details of
like current things. And there's it's like when I
read the 6th and the 7th book, they're talking about Iran and

(01:04:36):
China. And then two days later we have
Iran and Israel going back and forth at it.
And then China's over there. I'm like, did I just read like a
prophecy or something because itwas so accurate and he wrote.
Like that predictive media kind of vibe.
Yeah, and I'm like, somewhere out there there's a James Reese
stopping all this. Hopefully so.
That's beautiful. Now that's awesome, man.
