Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Alright you guys welcome back to 4 Guys, 1 Film.

(00:04):
This week we watched a movie that I remember very fondly from my childhood, something that
scared the shit out of me, The Day After Tomorrow.
Oh God.
If you haven't seen this film in the past, this is one of those, I think it's like one
of the best early disaster films to ever come out.
This is before I feel like it became like a Hollywood trope where it's just gotta be
Dwayne Johnson falling or running or moving in helicopters and shit.

(00:28):
But this movie is phenomenal, it's got a lot of really cool facts that I can't wait to
get into but the biggest thing, it's climate change so it's super topic specific for the
last quarter century.
It's been really well shot and I think it was pretty cool that they did this so close
to 9-11 even.
Just a few years.
Yeah no, it was really awesome right after 9-11.

(00:50):
It was super impactful for New York to feel like they could be part of shit like that
to be honest.
Who gives a fuck about New York though?
I think a lot of people around 9-11 give a fuck about New York.
There goes our whole East Coast.
I know, East Coast is gone.
Nice one bro.
The story basically follows a meteorologist who is giving a...
I thought it was a climatologist.

(01:12):
A climatologist who is studying the effects of basically the falling polar ice sheets
onto the currents and the impending doom that could happen over the next hundred thousands
of years.
What ends up happening is that one of the ice sheets that falls off is the size of Rhode
Island.

(01:33):
It pushes whatever the catastrophe to occur a little bit faster and they end up getting
pushed into an ice age now.
The story is all about him trying to help as many people bring awareness to this crazy
disaster that's happening.
We watch all of these incredible shots of different disasters hitting different major
areas.

(01:53):
I really want to talk about the LA scene.
Jesus Christ Nick, alright.
What?
Hey look man, I thought you were going to make it short.
How short do you want me to be?
Dude that shit was like 20 minutes long man.
I told you five minutes, I'm going to take five minutes.
I thought he was reading the fucking transcript.

(02:13):
I don't do it if you want me to.
He's reading it on Wikipedia.
I don't even, hey, I don't got nothing on me.
I'm just calling.
Hey when we said that we didn't give the synopsis the last time, it doesn't mean you have to
give the whole fucking movie like.
I'm going to give you the fucking kitchen sink.
But anyway, I'll get a little bit more wrapped up.
But again, really good shots of different disasters.
A lot of budget into that and just a lot of really kind of scary moments honestly that

(02:37):
I remember really feeling as a kid.
So I do want to get into some of the different aspects of the movies.
Okay so what stood out the most about this film?
What makes you remember it?
So like one of the things.
It's been 20 years.
No listen, this is fucking, this shit's real.
It's melting now man.
No shut the fuck up.
The day after tomorrow is today.
No listen, this actually fucking happened.

(02:59):
So there is an actual ice shelf that, that literal thing that they called them, the Larson
B ice shelf in Antarctica actually fucking broke off and it was the size of Rhode Island.
Oh my god.
It didn't lead to the cataclysmic.
No you're right.
Cataclysmic.
Cataclysmic issues that are being portrayed in this film.
Yeah and Pandora isn't a real fucking planet.
You want to tell me something else that Hollywood did?
Yeah, guess what?

(03:20):
Dwayne The Rock Johnson doesn't fly a helicopter in San Diego.
He's not a rock.
He's not a rock.
No no I get it but was it just impactful because of the way that it ties to the real world
or just like you liked it in general?
Well as a kid I remember, I mean fucking Alexis, you talked about how this shit scared the
crap out of you.
I think this is one of the first movies that I got to watch that I felt like oh shit maybe
something like this could happen.
That's why I was shitting bricks when I was a kid.

(03:41):
Yeah we talked about climate change and like you know when you're a kid like all this science
like you don't think about fact checking.
You're just like that makes sense.
We didn't have that back then.
It works.
It's kind of funny it's like the news?
Nah fuck the news.
Let's just watch this movie and this is it.
The Motorola Razr at this time.
No man we didn't even know what was coming.
There wasn't a sidekick to alert your friends.

(04:01):
Your T-Mobile top five couldn't know about the impending doom.
Same thing for me 2012 bro.
I was so scared.
I was like this might happen bro.
That's the thing I think is that when I saw movies like 2012 it was so dramatized in a
way that I felt like this one showed like one dimension of like it's just yeah there
was the whole tornadoes and everything that kind of took it away.
It was just that was just more visually stunning.

(04:22):
But the idea that all that's happening is just ice falls into water everything gets
colder and that's just logical and it didn't feel like like the whole idea of like oh the
Mayan calendar is destroying everything.
And now you know different shit's gonna just fall into the ocean.
It wasn't mystical at all.
It was just like yo this is your guys' fault.

(04:42):
It's your fault everyone's dead.
Like half the world is dead.
Yeah and like I think this also like sparked one of those like conspiracy theory shits
for me.
Like the government?
Yeah like the government knows but they're not helping.
Birds aren't real.
They don't do shit.
Yeah.
I mean it kind of felt like a whole big ass ad for global warming to me.
Oh sure yeah.
Which like is fine because I do understand that there's a huge impact that could happen

(05:05):
as a turn of us not trying to make a difference and realizing our you know imprint on the
planet and eventually people down the road.
Yeah I mean all of it was a little too in your face in the beginning.
Actually let me ask a question because you said it's too in your face but do you think
that because they went so hard it made people be like that's never gonna happen.

(05:25):
I don't give a shit.
No no I think if anything yeah it did it kind of yeah scared people into like alright what's
actually happening in the real world.
What can we do?
You know one of our local theaters main place was typically never played premiere movies.
I ended up watching the movie there.
Like it was just it was back in 05.
Back in 04.
They had fucking six dollar Tuesday movies.

(05:45):
Sick ass hot dogs dude.
That's expensive.
And I think you know as much as we say that this shit is kind of crazy because it sounds
like and like who didn't get a handy jet at the main place model dude.
Let's talk about it.
You gave him.
It was actually all of us.
I'm raising my hand because I was hands free that's fine.
He was like whoa.
He's gummy with it.
But no going back the thing that I wanted to say though is you know one of the things

(06:10):
I remember I don't know how long ago it was but like we've had a hurricane start to hit
like the western coast of the U.S. like we've had a lot of weird weather phenomenons we've
seen like in certain cases that we're getting more fucking water than some of the states
are supposed to.
So like that's a lot of snow.
I thought a lot of snow like this is a bunch of stuff that's happening that I feel like
adds to like the whole effects of this movie.

(06:31):
I get your whole point about propaganda and shit like that but no but I'm not saying that
in such a bad thing because I know this is something that needs to be shown.
Yeah.
I mean I know that it's very blatant in this film and it's fine because it's for a good
cause.
But I do think ultimately like the science and the way that it's backed it's like should
be more like apparent in the film and I feel like they kind of.
You think it was too much BS science?

(06:53):
Yeah and not enough like them kind of maybe they should have done taking the route like
Interstellar fucking Nolan like he actually talked to you know NASA scientists and all
those people that actually study physics and like all of it behind it and try to make a
movie that's like yeah it is a little bit kind of like pseudoscience you're not going
to go to a planet that has like 30 times the gravitational pull of Earth and survive.

(07:15):
I don't think the point of this movie was to be safe.
Like the whole point of this movie was to exaggerate all the things that could potentially
happen.
But this is one of my criticisms.
I don't think that I mean they should have been thinking about that at that time.
I think that that time they didn't really do that yet because I mean you think about
like what movies like in my opinion the movies that this is really competing against would

(07:36):
be like the core would be Armageddon like shit where it's like a meteor.
The core is a good fucking movie.
The core is a phenomenal movie but it's got such bullshit fucking science.
That movie is great.
I've never heard of that movie.
Yeah.
That movie is amazing.
Doesn't that have who are we talking about who we loved recently.
Fuck our favorite bald guy in the Devil Wears Prada.
Oh Stanley Tucci?

(07:56):
Stanley Tucci that's got the Tucci too.
Does he?
I swear to God Stanley Tucci is the core.
Oh yeah he's like an explosive expert in the movie.
Yeah.
So it's got awful reviews.
It's a fucking great movie.
It's a shitty movie but it's so good.
I thought it was a fun movie man.
Does Nick Lee like movies that are awful reviews?
I don't know what you're talking about.
He's like master disguise?
Master disguise.
There's zero examples of that.

(08:17):
But anyway the disasters in this movie.
You know what's crazy?
The movies that we've talked about that are yours have done better than the crazy ones
that Alexis is like.
That's not true.
I can show you the stats.
Scott Bogan is the only one that's like the outlier.
He's just manipulating the numbers so they're all in his favor.
I know right.
I'm just photoshopping all of our analytics.

(08:38):
He's just redoubling the episodes every time it is.
He's like I have a 45 minute drive from Santa Monica every day.
He has a farm where his videos are on loop.
It's dead ass.
He's a manager now so one of the things that's on his employee reviews is do you download
my fucking podcast?
He's like you're fired.
You have to listen to all 20 episodes.

(09:01):
There will be a quiz.
He has Dylan just listen to it all day.
On his school iPad.
He's like why do I have to do a movie for 24 hours?
He's like it's too damn bad.
So what were we talking about?
The disasters that I wanted to really get into.
So like you know one of the scenes that I mean this movie did a really good job on its
visual effects.

(09:22):
I mean I know.
I mean George kept yelling like every five minutes.
Oh my god.
I was just in awe.
He's 20 years old?
What the fuck guys?
We were fucking seven bro.
I don't remember this.
I watched it once.
I don't remember it being that good.
The CGI at least.
I think that honestly though you just don't fucking appreciate that when you're young.

(09:42):
I think you're right.
Because maybe I just thought I'm like no that's real.
That's real ice.
Well if anything like you think like Masters.
I think like some of the crazy shit in Master Disguise or even like The Mask.
Like that isn't crazy CGI but it's more goofy is the type of shit that you'd be really thinking
is cool as a kid.
Versus now you're like whoa look at how realistic the Capitol building looks getting ripped
out of the ground by 20.

(10:02):
Oh I see.
Yes.
Now we appreciate those details.
Exactly.
Yeah I'm like yo they did that shit on Windows 99.
Ain't no fucking way.
No way.
But actually I was going to mention.
First of all it was XP.
It was XP at that point.
Yeah.
Come on.
I'm just going to say that again.
Nine special effects houses worked on this film.
Over a year.
At the same time consecutively.
Like throughout that time.
No it's apparent.

(10:23):
You can see it.
Yeah.
That's for sure.
What was the budget on this movie by the way?
One hundred twenty five million dollars.
Holy shit you just knew that off the top of your head.
That's impressive.
That's impressive.
I carry all this information in my ass.
But.
Is that why you told it out?
So this movie did well at the box office.
It did.
It got like I think it was like 380.
Who directed this movie?

(10:44):
Yeah.
306 International.
You know him for making more of these types of movies.
Roland Emmerich I think.
He did Godzilla.
The 90's Godzilla.
The one that was really bad.
Yeah.
Also gave me a little Cloverfield vibes.
How does he look like?
Cloverfield is an example of a great disaster.
I love Cloverfield.
He looks like.
I didn't mind it.

(11:05):
I think he was also one of the ones that invented shaky cam footage.
Look at his fucking god damn gap in his teeth.
Holy shit.
I didn't like the reveal for that one.
It just took too long for me.
I think it was a different way to handle monsters which is cool.
But one of the things I wanted to ask you guys.
So we see a lot of different scenes.
We see how much they poured into showing hurricane shots.

(11:25):
How much they showed into showing.
It even felt like they did a little bit of earthquake.
But it was mainly the tornado ripping into the buildings.
Also the eye of the storm.
Being in the eye of the storm.
Being close to freezing.
I know Andre our producer made a really good point.
He's like honestly that seems like one of the best ways to die.
You're not feeling anything because you're so numb and it's fast.
You're suddenly freezing.
I beg to differ.

(11:46):
I don't know if you've been in the freezing cold.
I feel like it'd be a detrocious way to die.
The fact that you're.
When the fuck have you been in the freezing cold?
Bro I lived in fucking Georgia for like.
That ain't cold son.
It's cold.
It's cold down there.
I think he moved to Georgia for a bit.
He's like one degree that's crazy.
I wouldn't be shocked if he moved to Georgia.
No Washington DC was also freezing during the winter.

(12:07):
You're in Chicago?
You haven't been to Chicago.
Yeah but DC was freezing bro.
I couldn't even stand being out there for more than a few minutes.
Guys I've been to Mount Baldy.
Chicago negative 30 player.
I don't know how it compares to DC but it was cold.
Regardless the difference that you're seeing here though is you're right.
That's slow death to cold exposure.
These guys are talking about how it would be suddenly shocked down to negative 150 degrees

(12:28):
Fahrenheit.
So you would die in seconds.
You weren't dying before.
Like you were cold and it sucked.
But if you were outside and you were like ugh this fucking sucks.
I'm walking and then you just die.
Would negative 50 kill you instantly?
Negative 150?
Oh you said 150.
Negative 150.
It was freezing.
It was freezing flags.
And we're talking about Fahrenheit fellas.
And now out there most of the world is Celsius.

(12:50):
Yeah you guys 120.
This is America?
Celsius.
Oh god.
We have real numbers.
Real numbers okay.
This movie is so American that we invaded the Mexicans.
That's how America cleared their debt.
Our country.
That was a hard M.
The United States of Mexico brother.

(13:10):
And they even had papers imagine that.
And then they didn't even have fucking oil which is the craziest part.
This movie is so real.
Full on invasion.
It's so real that a really old ass motherfucker ends up president.
What are you talking about?
He did.
No but they didn't do it for the oil.
They did it for the warmth.
They did it for the freedom.
Or they did it because they wanted to go to Egypt.
Secret boy to get oil.
Because the global warming themselves.

(13:32):
The vice president didn't want to say shit because he knew that if they invaded Mexico
they'd get some fucking oil.
The thing that I wanted to ask you guys is I guess being in all of this or seeing these
disaster movies like what to you makes the most sense for something to be fucking afraid
of?
I don't know.
Every time I think about tornadoes, I'll be honest, they're terrifying looking the way
that it handled LA.

(13:53):
And I know they're not so like you don't get so much of a fucking warning but you definitely
get way more of a fucking warning than you do something like an earthquake.
You can see it coming at least.
I had an experience in Oklahoma where I drove through the center of a storm.
You're just plowing all the white girls in the United States huh?
No but I was driving through Oklahoma and I literally got a tornado warning.
It was like 30-40 mile per hour wind.

(14:16):
My car was shaking.
I couldn't see further than the foot in front of me because it was raining so hard and there
was thunder and lightning going off like every I don't know like 30 seconds.
It was nuts.
It was the worst experience ever.
Fuck that place.
Tornadoes suck.
Well I'm kind of curious so because and maybe Andre you can help us out with the research
in this like which natural disaster kills the most people in the US and I want to specify

(14:36):
the US because obviously other countries might just be underprepared but like I feel like
tornadoes got to be one of the smaller ones because typically the states that are going
to get...
They don't happen often.
The states that get it have sellers.
So it's actually a really big natural phenomenon that only occurs in the US mainly because
of the way that the how flat the plains are and the way that the I think it's like the

(14:57):
warm wind from Mexico comes in and the cold air from Canada then they mix in the middle
and it's so flat it's perfect for this to occur but it doesn't happen often in other
places in the world.
No you're 100% right.
It's crazy.
I remember when I was younger I was like...
The fact that he knew the signs was fucking crazy in itself.
I'm kind of impressed yeah I did not expect that.
I looked into it because the tornadoes like...
Yeah he was in the middle of a tornado.

(15:18):
I got through it and I was like I survived this.
But how?
He's like I need to understand why the fuck you mean.
I'm like God why?
Why me?
Floods are the biggest causes of death.
I mean and that kind of makes sense because...
In China too.
Oh shit.
You know that kind of makes sense though in general because for me the thing about like
something like a flood versus like a big hurricane or an earthquake or tornado is that like earthquakes

(15:40):
happen so few and rare that are huge that actually can cause a giant death toll that
we're probably not taking into account like the frequencies of deaths under like extreme
floods.
It is not safe to live in China.
Even tsunamis.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah bro I mean...
Four million people died in the China flood.

(16:02):
Two million in the Yellow River flood.
Fucking the earthquake in 76 killed all fucking three quarters of a million people.
Holy shit.
What for you guys like what's the scariest idea of a natural disaster?
Like a tsunami.
I think I kind of I'm tending to agree with you because I feel like those are way more
sudden.
Even though we're not like where we particularly live it's not going to happen.

(16:24):
Yeah we have all our fault lines already on shore so it would have to be further off like
into the ocean.
It would have to be like Hawaii.
Yeah so.
No no but like I think just like I think just seeing a giant impending wall of dunes like
just a water coming down at you is scary.
Oh yeah it's horrifying but luckily I don't like sandworms.
We're not prone to tsunamis whatsoever in the west.

(16:44):
I'm not at least.
Alexis can't swim so he's not going to be near water.
I can swim.
Fuck you.
What about you Alexis?
I don't think I'm scared of like.
I'm not even scared of earthquakes either.
Yeah it's more of the fact that I may be separate from my family or my loved ones and it's like

(17:05):
do I take care of myself or do I go for them.
You're not scared more of the disaster itself.
You're about the repercussions.
Yeah the repercussions.
I think that's a very real thing.
You know I was thinking about this movie before we even watched it and like I remember going
through different phases in my life.
We've all talked about this I think in certain podcasts when I was young I remember having
these like vivid dreams of like whether it be some sort of danger at school or something

(17:29):
like a disaster happens and how I would do something super heroic or something crazy
like oh I'd be like an action star I'd do a zombie apocalypse do this this and this
and nowadays like you know go through college and stuff and early work.
I'm like oh my god it's so nice to just die in one of those and not have debt and then
now.
Jesus Christ.
That's not what I'm thinking at all.

(17:51):
But now that I have like significant others and stuff you know I'm just like oh shit like
I can't even think about myself.
I just need to make it home to like these people in my life that matter and make sure
and pray that there's no like fallout that really affects me and my loved one.
You know what's crazy the movie I don't know if you guys watched the impossible it's about
the tsunami that happened in the Philippines.
That movie fucked me up because it was exactly talking about these points literally the tsunami

(18:13):
itself was devastating and like tons of people died but the movie focused on the family and
the aftermath and how they had to recuperate and they couldn't find each other.
They're in a foreign country they don't speak the language and like they're basically like
it's not just about me dying here like my two kids are out there and they're separate
from their father and their the entire movie you're like shit are they ever going to find

(18:34):
each other.
And luckily I mean I don't want to spoil it but like it ends up being it turns out possible
happens it turns out OK.
But it was it was fucking scary to watch and the fact that it was based on a true event
it just like it fucked me up.
It was if you haven't seen that disaster movie I remember when I was young like like you
know being obviously foreigners all of us like my mom trained in me that if an earthquake

(18:57):
ever happened she was like I need you to memorize your grandparents number in Columbia so that
if you ever get access to a landline or something that can access them in our phone systems
are down you can call them notify them where you're at.
And then when we get access like it's like a third point you know we had we didn't have
anybody else in the US that we could call at the time like why does Columbia have what's
their natural disaster.

(19:18):
Are they also you know they know they don't have like Chile gets earthquakes and like
you don't feel them if they're really fucking crazy.
It's a natural resource.
Our natural disaster is white people coming into our country.
That's what I was like.
He's like let's go.

(19:40):
It's booger.
Our is what was it called.
Not colonization.
Fucking repopulation.
No no gentrification gentrification is a natural disaster.
You know I think the scarcely more about natural disaster is the after effects like the looting
in the Marauding.
Oh dude yeah.
The idea of like I mean it kind of starts to feel like a zombie apocalypse or something

(20:01):
else.
Everybody fends for themselves.
I think I think this one thing that we I brought it to as well like during the movie I was
like hey dude like if some shit like this goes down like you're gonna have supplies
like you gotta be ready you gotta have a you know a fucking generator you gotta have gasoline
George you're not allowed to any of the stuff that I have.
You are I see I'm like I'm like I know I know a guy guys.

(20:23):
We're good.
You know.
OK.
He's not letting us say he's not stupid about that though is lately every time I have a
conversation with that I'm with my girlfriend.
It's never an earthquake disaster kit or a fire.
It's a fucking like zombie prep.
She's like we're gonna get a crossbow.
We're gonna get our hands on the crossbar.
We're going to Costco.
We're going to Wal-Mart.
Where's the supply.
I'm like we're worried about zombies.
We're glad.

(20:43):
I'm glad you bring this up because I feel like the best way to avoid zombies is to have
like a night suit you know like a you know the metal full and full metal suit because
there's nothing to bite.
Well then you can't move.
You could just wear like work like like overalls like for work.
You know Carhartt like yeah.
Or Carhartt.
You know what would be Carhartt sales after this.
You can't wear Carhartt.

(21:03):
You're not allowed.
Me and Nick are the only people allowed in this fucking room to wear Carhartt.
Number one.
Number two.
You can wear chainmail.
You could get chainmail.
But chainmail like I feel like people forget.
It's too heavy you know.
What about Velcro?
No because it can go ripped.
You're going to stick to them.
Which side though?
You're abrasive so you're killing me.
So Alexis would die in a zombie apocalypse.

(21:24):
Okay so we got that.
Off the list.
Do you think they'd eat an ass first or what?
I'd hope so.
I'd hope so.
No they're going for you.
They're going for the face.
Hey if it's one thing that zombie apocalypse shows or movies have taught us is that the
real monsters are the humans.
Really you don't got to worry about the monsters.
Isaac just admitted that.
You got to worry about other people trying to kill you and loot you.

(21:44):
Isaac just admitted he'd shoot somebody in an earthquake.
It's like a 4.0 and he'd just kill people.
It's like no reason.
Oh my god he's like wow I think that light bulb.
You guys are lifeguard lawn friends.
I got to protect my property.
Tease their own.
I have liberty property boys.
It's one of the amendments.
So we got a chance to talk about a lot of the different types of disasters and disaster

(22:08):
movies out there.
Going into this I kind of wanted to ask you guys what you felt about the characters in
the scenes in particular like what stood out to you.
The characters aren't very interesting.
They're kind of forgettable to be honest.
They really didn't even have.
It's really about the show.
Honestly like what the director portrayed in like the scenes is better than what they
were saying.
It's like the dialogue is shit.
Yeah.
Like some of the visual effects of like when they're talking about science are just shitty.

(22:31):
But I think that's actually what it looked like back then.
Probably.
Because even today like.
That sad ass like little diorama they had playing on the screen every time.
It was the same one.
I was like nothing's changing.
What are they looking at?
Like it's getting worse.
They're like hmmm.
It's getting real cold.
It's just I think I'm not going to lie I think I disagree.
I think it was getting bigger.
But it was the same satellite image because it was just slowly showing that the hurricane

(22:52):
was growing.
George you understand they had fucking dial up back then.
No no.
I just thought it was funny because just like I mean to today's standards you're kind of
like nothing's really going on.
That was 20 years ago you dig my deep shit.
It's changed.
I get what you're saying.
I get what you're saying.
I mean I.
I see George's point though.
I see you guys' point.
I think a lot of the.
I think a lot of the characters even in the library sections because like I don't think

(23:13):
the homeless guy.
Yeah the homeless guy was cool.
Even like the small discussion of the like the two people who are really into books and
stuff like that.
Like just bringing up that part that like I don't think I ever really processed as a
kid and maybe even now just processes adult like that.
Someone's trying to say like look this is like something that could potentially like
destroy us if we don't take care of it.
And it's clearly doing a gigantic impact on New York that has so much history and especially

(23:38):
the public library.
So he's like I'm going to preserve a little bit of history with me.
Like if I can carry this and say like this is something that's important to me.
I get what that scene was trying to show but I'm like bro there's going to be a lot more
books that survive.
Who's.
But that's the point isn't the book.
That's like what he just did was say representation of what he saved is what he saved is the is

(23:58):
the literal equivalence of like the Declaration of Independence.
It's a book older than that.
It's the first book ever printed.
So I like to that they wasn't the Gutenberg Bible is the first book ever printed.
You want to you want to get fat check motherfucker.
I'll fact check you.
Honestly Nick is so confident about that.
I want to get to it's punisher.
You want to feel it.

(24:18):
That's exactly.
But but no I liked I liked the little like things that they added there.
One of the scenes that fucked me up as a kid actually more than anything was the wolves.
I know that it looked like I remember being like kind of not for the dogs and shit but
like afraid of the idea of like being able to find an animal in the like in the dark.
I watched this like as a kid so every time I remember going down my stairs at night or

(24:39):
anything like that like there's a scene where you all you see is them kind of looking in
the dark.
I know I like that shit.
You saw like I guess a kid I just visualized that shit in the shadows.
So I remember all that to do with this printed.
I'm not saying first book ever made I'm saying first book ever printed.
Make sure you get that shit and type type less loud.

(25:02):
What about you guys like what did you guys feel about different things.
Jesus Christ.
I'll wait for him to finish.
Cut that cut that.
Let's wait for him.
Nope.
According to Google it's called the Demon Sutra.
The Demon Sutra.
The Demon Sutra.
What the fuck.
The Demon Sutra.
That one sounds more interesting.
The Demon Sutra.
Fat check Nick.

(25:22):
Where is that?
Let me see what it says.
Tang Dynasty.
That's a drink man.
This is the first book ever printed.
Yes it's A68AD.
Nick I believed in you.
What the fuck.
I didn't get a chance to hear from you.
What was your favorite like or I guess what.
Oh back to me.
Alright and we're back ladies and gentlemen.
So one of the scenes that scared me as a kid was when the reporter's doing his thing and

(25:45):
then this giant ass bus just comes straight at him and that like really scared me as a
kid.
No it was a sign.
Was it a sign?
Oh yeah it was a giant billboard.
It was the sign that took the reporter out.
It was the bus that crushed the reporter.
Yeah okay so I'm referring to the billboard that just smacked into this guy as he's reporting.
I didn't expect it.
No I remember.
Like Isaac was saying that scene in particular would replay on FX.

(26:08):
You're gonna die for the crab baby.
You're gonna die for it.
Yeah that was the scene that they'd replay on FX where they were like FX has the movies.
But that just kind of like reminds me of how stupid some of the people in this film were
because you know they say shit like oh my god it's getting closer and then they die.
But no no no.
There's a guy with a camera.
No no listen.
Get this shot.
I think that's real as shit.

(26:28):
If it was an earthquake in LA I think Californians and people who come here are more prepared.
But because it's the first time a tornado has ever touched they're like whoa this is
crazy.
They hit it on the nose because like now with modern technology I think it'd be even more
people doing that.
Because it's like before not everyone had cameras like that.
Dude they wouldn't even look up from their phones.
Now everyone has it in their pockets.
So the world is gonna be like.
They'd do a stupid TikTok.
I'll be live on TikTok or Instagram and be like yo.

(26:51):
I'll be with my giant magnifying glass fucking lens.
I'll be taking pictures from like 400 feet away and shit.
Dude that guy got fucked up.
Have you seen that meme where it's that fucking guy in Buffalo Oklahoma somewhere and he's
like here he comes and there's a tornado.
That's gonna be me bro.
I swear to god.

(27:11):
It's gonna be amazing.
That's a real city by the way.
But you know actually even thinking about that though to be fair.
That's where I got hit by a tornado.
It was George.
Bro I drove through that shit I'll record it for the gram.
You know one thing that I think movies like this would also benefit from though is showing
like a brief period of different people from different cities.

(27:35):
Like you got like I actually think the LA scene was fucking great.
They showed us Tokyo.
They showed us Tokyo.
Well Tokyo was a very little bit with the hailstorms.
But like I wish they would have expanded more on like the widespread disaster in Tokyo and
then going to a place in Europe.
Like actually it's pretty shocking that they decided to show Tokyo over fucking Europe.
Like I feel like every major picture usually decides to show as many white people as possible

(27:58):
from as many different fucking places.
I live out like certain parts that were just like no fuck them they're dead.
Everything passed this line in North America.
Gone.
Wiped.
What about the Canadians?
Fuck them.
No honestly.
They're already dead.
What about you George?
What was your favorite scene and what kind of set out to you?
What was impactful?

(28:19):
I mean I don't know if there's one specifically that stood out to me.
There was a lot of ones.
Like I mean in the beginning when the ice is like breaking off and they're just.
Ices.
No the ice is breaking off.
Oh okay different words.
Jesus Christ.
This happened here in 9-11.
Good point.
They could have been.
They weren't there yet.
They weren't there.
This was all a terroristic.
It was a global conspiracy.

(28:39):
They're seeding clouds in Saudi Arabia.
That's what happens.
Dubai.
That's what they're doing now.
Exactly.
Holy shit.
It's a global conspiracy.
That scene and then also the scene where the guy breaks through the freaking glass and
it turns out they're on top of a mall and that's how much snow has fallen.
That kind of like.
I'm like oh they're just kind of walking around and then out of nowhere.

(29:02):
That was a lot.
That was like.
They should have showed the guy dying.
For me.
Yeah that was the worst.
It was a lot but it also showed the grand scale of things because it's like oh shit
they're not just walking on like frozen over ground.
They're on top of a fucking mall and a building.
That's like got to be like at least 20 to 30 feet.
No yeah so they fucked me up.
I was like wow that's a really good use of like what they had to work with.

(29:25):
Imagine the repercussions of an event like this.
Imagine what's going to happen to all that snow.
Imagine.
That was the whole movie.
Imagine.
Well even just like again going back to the fucking disasters we just talked about.
What comes after the snow is flooding.
We already know that California.
So this is not even the end of it.
This is like just the beginning.
That's just yeah.
To the tip of the iceberg.
Oh shit.
Wow.

(29:45):
God damn.
This is in Mexico though.
And we're the Titanic.
And Florida.
And Florida.
El Tipo del Iceberg.
Oh.
Damn.
How do you say iceberg in Spanish?
Iceberg.
Bergo.
Bergas.
Why'd you say it like that?
Icebergas.
That's good.

(30:06):
That's all right.
Why'd you say it in Japanese accent?
That's what I'm questioning.
That's my question.
No no.
Dude.
I think.
Dude.
He's so fucking racist.
He's so racist in this episode.
It's because it was in Japan too.
I'm just including our Japanese.
No but they didn't make it to Mexico bro.
Yeah well.
Clearly iceberg.
You know where they went?
You know where they went?
No no way.
They went to Peru.

(30:27):
Peru.
That's exactly.
Yeah you know they went to.
They went to Peru.
Dude I think your dad would have preferred to die in California.
He's like fuck.
I gotta go back to Peru.
Fuck that shit.
You know but actually thinking about it too.
There's so many movies where I always feel like I'm like oh even like Zombie Pocket shit's
like I'm like oh fuck.
I'm like fuck.
I'm like fuck.
I'm like fuck.
I'm like fuck.
This probably actually is one of those too that you can't do that.

(30:50):
Like being surrounded by that much water probably perpetuates this whole.
And then you're gonna freeze.
You would have frozen to death.
Well you gotta do like 2012 bro.
They all escaped to the fucking Moses boats.
Just the fucking.
That were magically built.
The ark.
In China.
China.
Now you gotta head for the mountains.
I think that's the only place.
To the mountains?
Yeah cause if you build like something in a base in a mountain.

(31:14):
It's above sea level.
If you build it they will come.
You would have freeze to death either way.
No but if look.
At least you're above sea level.
So what's your strategy?
Tell us your strategy right now.
What are you doing?
You head to the mountains.
This movie.
And you go into a multi million dollar base.
Is already pretty.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Like you got that.

(31:34):
Easy peasy.
Easy peasy.
So you're trying to buy a fucking plot of land.
Let's say like a hundred acres right.
Yeah.
What if on the news it's like Bill Gates killed himself.
Fuck.
Oh my god dude.
Fuck now what?
Fuck that was my plan A.
Fuck boys.
Now it's bad.
Bitcoin 30 cents.
It would specify though is because he was on Epstein's list.
That's why he killed himself.
Bitcoin goes to 30 cents.

(31:55):
I'm killing myself.
Fuck.
Elon.
If there's a 4.0 earthquake.
Isaac will kill you.
So it doesn't matter.
But no.
What about you Isaac?
What's your strategy?
What's my strategy?
Yeah.
You're like stay home.
You know what I would do is I would get all my trucks and make a wall or perimeter around
my yard.

(32:16):
Damn he's already Republican.
Yeah.
Like make a whole.
Getting on my goddamn trucks man.
Make a whole perimeter right.
My trucks is gonna step all the water.
I got like.
Hell do it.
I got like four like industrial regenerators in my yard.
Bring him over here.
Right.
I got like 400 gallons of gas and diesel.
Right and then what?
And then I'm just chilling here man.
I got like 400,000.

(32:37):
Alright right.
That's the way to stop the looters and the people.
That's how you create an ozone hole.
How do you stop the like 20 feet of snow that's gonna lay on top of you?
Right.
Buddy.
You build around it.
Okay.
You build around it.
He's like.
He's so easy.
He's like hey you know what.
You just burn more fuel.
He's like I run a landscaping business.
I got Mexican labor up for days.
Alright.
We're building this shit.

(32:57):
He's like give us like 30 minutes.
It's all gone.
It's gone.
What's up with this Al Pacino scarf face accent.
I'm buying tacos for the guys.
We're getting it done.
First of all.
It's Coronas and beers.
Thruns will still be open bro.
You know what.
You gotta give them the Coronas after work.
You buy them tacos for their break.
I don't know man.
George turned fucking Cuban all of a sudden.
George you come from like.
I can't do.
I can't do a bad Mexican accent.
Niggas Japanese guy turns Cuban.

(33:17):
George you know what they do.
You're like the most fucking freehold motherfucker in this room.
But I can't do a bad Mexican accent.
That's why I gotta do another Atlantic.
Hey dog.
You know what you need to do is just talk.
And it's right there.
You don't need to do shit.
You don't need to do shit.
You don't need to do shit.
You don't need to do shit.
My Spanish is great.
Fuck you.

(33:39):
I want to hear your Spanish.
Let's go.
It's pretty good.
It's pretty good.
Nah I heard him.
He stuttered way too much.
Yeah dude.
It's just me and English too bitch.
You just can't speak.
I can't talk.
It's his ADHD.
So the day after tomorrow.
It's called ADA TARM.
You're not safe.
I want to know your plan.
What are you doing?
What am I?
I'm going to fucking Isaac's.
I'm going to fucking Isaac's.
Jesus Christ.

(34:00):
I'm like hey bro.
Isaac's like eww.
I only got enough food and fuel for my family dog.
We're in California and you guys are hunkering down rather than going south like they tell
you to.
Or you guys actually following this shit.
So this is a movie and it's not real.
No.
Wait wait.
What?
George did Epiphany?
This shit is fake.
It depends on.
It's not real.

(34:20):
That bitch is fake.
Oh yeah.
We're fucking Nick so we follow what the movie does.
Cause that's real.
That's what it's saying.
No no.
Put yourself in the world.
So has the government never given you a mandated fucking order to do something like stay indoors?
I'm telling you.
I'm heading to the mountains.
High ground.
So if they tell you go south you're going north to the mountains.

(34:40):
You don't want to go where the masses are anyway.
That's impeding.
Too much traffic.
Way too much traffic.
You can't even get that far.
Especially cause the cars will make it dark.
George is like I can't cross the public road.
I can't cross the road.
What if everything goes okay?
What if it was a false alarm?
They were just trying to get me to cross.

(35:01):
They got all of us.
He's like my DACA?
Fuck.
They got me.
God damn it.
And then just Trump at the White House he's like we did it boys.
They're all back home.
He's like all those freak-o-leiros they're outta here.
Bad hombres south.

(35:22):
Wall?
Write the fuck up.
We're gonna make them pay for it.
They're done.
They're done.
I just took them out of the country.
He's like that wall is gonna look like the DMZ in Korea man.
Fucking land mines everywhere.
Now I mean I get it.
I kinda want to hunker down too.

(35:42):
I think there's a fucking, as much as I don't want to listen to an order like that, I think
there's a genuine fucking feeling of like I don't want to lose my shit.
Like I worked hard for this.
Well that kinda reminds me of remember when Hawaii got the false alarm for the missile?
Oh shit yeah and everybody was like we're about to die.
Yeah I think a lot of people are just kinda like okay this is happening I can't do anything

(36:02):
about it.
I gotta imagine how many people like just did some crazy shit because of it.
See but sorry Gator.
What I was gonna say.
Sorry Gator.
George.
Sorry excuse me.
No no no.
Look look let me finish.
Let me finish.
I think they're gonna be like, I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
I think that that's true but they didn't actually have it happening in front of them.

(36:24):
If I saw all that shit and then I'd be like this is actually happening like it's actually
do or die.
So yeah.
The white thing I feel like it's kinda like it might be a thing.
Yeah in that case I'm taking the carpool lane I don't care guys.
You know what I would do.
I'd probably.
Solo.
Breaking the law.
I'm breaking the law.
There's a bunch of abandoned like military bases in California.
I'd try to find them.
CO Beach yo.

(36:44):
Yeah.
That's a good point too.
CO Beach.
I don't know I mean.
I don't know who you're inside bro.
Not even the bandit.
In a thing.
Well.
Is it CO Beach when abandoned?
Okay Isaac for you what's your favorite scene for the movie or what do you think?
I think it's when like fucking Jake Gyllenhaal is trying to like act like the macho character.
I don't know I just thought it was funny.
When did that happen?
You're talking about when he's running with like the guy.
Yeah.

(37:04):
Yeah he's like I can do it.
I'm Jake Gyllenhaal.
Yeah that's exactly what he did.
Yeah.
Yeah that's exactly what he did.
Yeah it's crazy because throughout the whole time.
Little baby face Jake Gyllenhaal.
We just couldn't get George to stop talking about Donnie Darko.
The whole time.
Yeah.
He's like what the fuck is up here.
He's like is that Donnie Darko?
It's Donnie Darko baby.
Is that Donnie Darko?
It's Donnie Tardum.
Is that Double D's yo?

(37:25):
You know but that's I think that's when the science also started getting weird to me.
Like this whole idea of like shit permanently freezing.
I gotta imagine some shit.
No way.
Can't fucking freeze the same as other shit.
You know.
Like there's actual fucking fire.
But also it's like it's freezing instantly but like in order.
Yeah.
In a sense it's just kind of like.
Yeah like some things gotta freeze faster than other things.
Somehow they made freezing like a character.

(37:47):
And also it's very visual.
Like a monster.
Very like it's creeping up on you and it's like you probably wouldn't be able to see
it.
I think if something like that did happen it would just happen like instantly.
There's no like oh it's coming at you.
Well you know that's what's crazy though is cause I mean not to get like a little sciencey
but like you know like you've heard of like super cold liquids or something like that.
I forget what they're called.
Like they're it's like a liquid that is cooled past freezing but it's like done so slow.

(38:10):
Sub zero.
No no no it's done slowly so it gets to a point where like if you shock it like you
ever seen like a can where it's like it was put in the freezer and you hit it.
Oh yeah and you hit it and it slosh.
And it immediately freezes over.
But you can see that it's like slowly freezing from the impact point.
So I've actually had that happen to me once with a water bottle.
Yeah.
But the thing is that I looked into it and it's because of the way that the crystallization
forms on the bottle from you smacking it.

(38:30):
Yeah yeah yeah.
So it's not necessarily like the actual liquid itself or how cold it is.
It's just a reaction.
No no no.
It's a reaction and it's that Goldilocks zone where it's like it's almost freezing but
it hasn't.
No no no it's so.
I love you but you're wrong.
It is.
I'm explaining but that's what you're talking about.
You're trying to fight with the engineer right here?
So no.
Isn't that what you're talking about?
You're right actually you're 100% right with the crystallization but it is brought it's

(38:51):
brought past its freezing point.
But because like I don't know what it is about water in particular or certain liquids but
oh because there's no impurities so it has to be water that's like very like alkaline
or.
You can do that with coke.
I've done this with coke yeah.
You can do it with sodas too.
It's just it's just about like the state of movement.
And what is it then?
It's like the movement of vibration of the molecule.
So when you smack it a sudden shock.

(39:12):
You're not adding anything to it.
Like actually allows it to freeze.
That's true because when when water is cooled down to freezing temperatures the molecules
are essentially vibrating.
Yeah.
Like slowly right like that right.
Or not slowly.
Not an absolute zero.
But I wonder if that's exactly that's essentially what this is trying to show right.
Is that like essentially like a portion or something got shocked and then slowly everything's

(39:33):
cascading.
building that frost and freezing the air everything around it is just freezing and getting to
that point.
I get what you're saying but like also the way that they just made it they fucking made
it into a monster.
It was a little cheesy but I did like that it gave like the weather like like Alexis
said like a bit of characterization I guess like it's a threat that we can see.
Yeah.
Because it's like you know like you have like movies nowadays that are trying to do like

(39:56):
invisible monsters and stuff like that and they they really push it with like sound and
other things that I don't know if they had really thought back in the day.
So they back in the day they really relied on visuals.
They're like you're not going to understand that the wind stopping suddenly means that
they're in the eye of the storm.
They had to show them holy shit all of a sudden the day is clear as fuck.
And they were in the eye.
And you have to get the suspense as well.
Yeah.

(40:17):
Because it's not like oh fuck we understand the fuck the science behind this.
Actually I bet this movie was really good in a movie theater.
Oh dude it was.
Because it was the sound right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was scared shitless as I was watching this.
Oh yeah that's right you saw it in a movie.
Well I mean I'm kind of excited I mean we talk about disaster movies I think are for
me like even more impactful than like typical horror movies because I don't really fucking
care for the supernatural shit as much.

(40:38):
Like monsters and stuff like that.
Like it's not even just a lack of belief.
Oh that's a separate question.
It's not even like a belief for me it's one of those things where it's like if I'm in
the nun or something else like I'm just going to accept it.
You're in the nun?
Like I'm saying if yeah if.
Boy.
Buddy.
I don't know about that.
Oh Slayer's going to play.
I don't know if you know how nuns work but.

(40:59):
Yeah.
If I'm in any one of those settings I'm not out here trying to fight you know demons and
ghosts you know I'm not trying to fight.
Like a demon slayer or something.
Yeah no I'm not.
You know no Kimetsu you know but yeah I prefer me you know none of that shit.
But what I am going to do like in this situation is obviously try to survive if you're in a
natural disaster.
So I think that's where it's a little bit more creepy a little bit more scary.

(41:20):
Like you can you actually feel like there's a chance and that little bit of hope also
gives you something to lose.
And versus like when you think about like Freddy versus Jason situation someone invading
my nightmares.
Or like just just Freddy in general.
I don't know man I feel like all scary movies there's an easy solution to shoot him with
the fucking gun.
Yeah I mean.
And like these play these movies take place like in the Midwest in the south somewhere.

(41:42):
I'm like there's got to be a motherfucker that has a shotgun or a pistol or a rifle.
Yeah but they're all too friendly.
They're like they're like hey you got some weird scars all over you and you got a machete
in your hand you're high neighbor.
And then they let you in.
Let's hear about what some of our friends think on letterbox.
All right this one's by Maddie two and a half stars 2004 was a simpler time but twink Jake

(42:04):
Gyllenhaal and Americans illegally crossing into Mexico still remain politically economically
and sexily relevant today.
Yeah man I mean it was pretty on the nose you know Americans going into Mexico for refuge.
That's actually a huge thing going on right not for refuge but they're working from home.
They're loving fucking.
Is that Mexico like they're fucking loving it.

(42:26):
I mean who wouldn't though.
I mean honestly.
People are pissed about Mex people moving into Mexico.
It's crazy because they're bringing up the prices for everything and then they're just
gentrification.
They're they're literally like oh we're getting paid in USD because we're fucking digital
nomads and now we're dead ass.
A real thing I thought about like a few years ago like when I went to the last one to Columbia
we were looking at like apartments in Medellin and it was insane like I have a cousin who's

(42:48):
moving there right now from from what that I capital and she was telling me she's like
oh yeah she's like you can live in like the high rises that are like in the nicest areas
of Medellin and your rent would be like twelve hundred.
Bro honestly that might be the move for some people like yeah if you have a remote job
the one thing that was you still got taxes.
George 1099 dude you should do that.

(43:12):
But now here's one thing in the movie it seems like very like oh yeah yeah yeah get over
here guys yeah come to Mexico it's cool you know whatever but I feel like in real life
you'd be like no.
OK now here's the real question.
No I think Mexico would do it.
Would you would your partners follow you to a different country.
Yes you would.
I think so.
I think with impending doom I don't think I think we'd make a decision together.

(43:33):
Yeah I think even without impending doom she would.
Yeah I think we would have a conversation.
Oh you're talking about just a random move.
Yeah like it is like no like I mean just like hey you say like hey this is the better situation
we moving to a different.
Oh yeah I mean we've talked about moving.
If it's because of like a natural disaster.
You move states?
The situation.
If it was a requirement like if we couldn't find a house here or anything like that.

(43:56):
Oh you won't.
What's our family.
I won't.
I love California too much.
I love California too but it's tough.
But I mean going back again thank you for the review and the big thing is I don't know
I feel like I agree with you.
It's crazy to think about this this climate that we're in politically.
No literally well no just like I mean.
Literally nice one.

(44:17):
Fuck you were gonna you took my words.
You're too slow.
You stuttered.
I was talking about the climate.
Yeah I know but I think we should do something before it gets to this point boys.
Alright next review.
Thank you Matty that was a good one.
Just kidding.
Thank you Matty.
I'm glad you like something.
Alright this one's a five star by Karen Mancera.
Alright this is gonna be a little long but I'll try to make quick.

(44:38):
This is the first Jake Gyllenhaal movie that I saw.
I was 11 years old.
I was obsessed with this movie and I saw it every time it was shown on TV just like you.
I always thought he was cute.
Young Jake is adorable.
However the main reason I became obsessed with this movie was because I thought the
same thing could happen and I was so scared about it I'm still scared.
A lot of parentheses in this.
Global warming is real and we are all doomed.

(45:00):
A little melodramatic.
You know who's really doomed?
It's not gonna be us.
It's gonna be our like three generations of mountaineers.
I honestly think that we have a duty to help prevent that for a future generation.
But honestly so many people are selfish.
Ourself included.
I'm like I don't care.
But I mean it's the same thing as like it starts with us.
I'll use you know glass bottles instead of plastic when I can.

(45:23):
We can try but honestly it's the corporations that are messing things up and as much as
we want to save water.
It's Taylor Swift.
It's Taylor Swift.
There's not a lot that we can do.
Dude we should get Taylor Swift man to like the North.
I mean after the fifth jet I get it.
But like the sixth one come on.
It's just not necessary.
That's where we draw the line.
But this reviewer Karen she makes a good point about Jake Gyllenhaal.

(45:48):
I think when he started his career such as in Donnie Darko he was a cute guy.
You know kind of unassuming.
But then he became this this like hunk.
This masculine.
Yeah.
Muscle man.
You think that fucking guy is.
I mean this guy was obsessed with masculine dude.
Are you kidding me?
Yeah I mean have you seen photos of him in Roadhouse?

(46:10):
He looks insane.
I don't have it to you.
I mean I think even like this person was obsessed with this movie.
But Gator was obsessed with you know Brokeback Mountain.
Brokeback Mountain.
So it's like you fall in love with him.
At one of those stages.
Donnie Darko.
Brokeback Mountain.
Day After Tomorrow.
For Nick it's Nightcrawler.
Nightcrawler.
I just measure my life to it.

(46:32):
Yeah.
Alright next one.
This one's by Brits.
Three and a half.
I'm not even kidding you guys.
This is what I thought was going to happen in 2012.
I sat on my bed with my Twilight book clutched to my chest and prayed to a god I didn't even
think was real.
Crossing fingers emoji.
Three and a half stars.
Jesus Christ.
Pray to god it's not even real.
I think we've all been in a situation where we're kind of like we're actually genuinely

(46:53):
worried for their life and be like hey I'll do anything.
I will say this.
This is as much as I like this movie this is one of the fewer ones that I believe is
going to happen.
Like I do think a San Andreas type accident is something that I believe way more than
this.
No yeah I think the disaster itself for me that would be realistic that I'm scared the

(47:13):
most about is nuclear warfare.
I feel like that's.
I'm gonna say that.
It's not natural but it's a fucking disaster.
It's a disaster that humanity could legitimately cause and that it might be a possibility in
the future.
I mean I don't know if you guys have ever heard that situation that happened with those
Russian submarines that they got an alert that they were being hit and they basically

(47:35):
were about to launch counter missiles with nuclear warheads and hit the U.S. but one
general decided that they wanted to double check and make sure it wasn't a false alarm
and because that general said no they weren't able to flip the switches to send those fucking
warheads.
If that would have happened I think that could have been pending doom for humanity.
I bet you that wasn't the only close call we've encountered.

(47:56):
Exactly that's what I'm saying.
You ever watch board games?
Like shit like that could happen just because of the way it took off.
Maybe a movie review on the pod.
Even the most recent Mission Impossible and shit.
For that that's very real for me and horrific though.
It fucking scares the shit out of me.
I think the U.S. got something to combat that shit.
I'm sure but I agree with the review.

(48:17):
This movie watching it young for sure definitely sparked some of that feeling to me.
Yeah absolutely thank you Britt.
Alright this is the last one by Kizar Islam.
Two and a half stars.
I obviously did not watch this for the scientific inaccuracies, the bad acting, the shitty dialogues,
American means heroes.
Why is this always the case or the sentimentalism?
Why did I watch this two and a half stars?

(48:38):
Well one the Americans make the movies.
America, I mean that's what it is.
I mean I feel like this is classic early 2000's kind of like hell yeah America we can do this
kind of movie.
Not definitely.
I mean like you know no disrespect to you whoever you are but as a person who isn't

(48:59):
a fucking American I'm not complaining that there's not enough fucking movies that Colombians
are the protagonists made by Americans.
Same here as a Peruvian.
Like I could give two shits.
There could be an argument that Scarface is a protagonist to fucking Colombians.
I mean there could be an argument.
Yeah a degenerate drug lord.
I thought he was Cuban.
Yeah he really made us look great.
Was he not Cuban?

(49:20):
Yeah he was getting the coca from Colombia.
Yeah he was making us look good because he was giving us money.
But no I get the point of like yeah it sucks that it's always the same people.
Like I do like that this is a start of showing like different types of backgrounds and stuff
in cultures and like now that Hollywood is really trying to say like Americans don't
have to be white.
Like you know I know that some people are like unfortunately trying to fight this trend

(49:44):
to show what Americans look like and that we all look like different people including
people in this room.
But I think that for now we just have to at least admit that the setting is America.
Like we could as much as.
New York.
Well like the biggest problem too is like kind of my arguments is shit is like you know
how I would feel if Americans were trying to make a movie about my country.
Like I can't imagine how it would feel if they were trying to make a movie about the

(50:06):
cultures and other people without like their permission.
Like it has to be a film writer or director or or like people who are native to that country
or origin for me to for me to even feel comfortable being like oh yeah that makes sense.
You know like it.
So I don't know like I get I mean she's I'm not going to argue against the shitty dialogue
and some of the you know weather and accuracies.

(50:26):
This is this is of a time where we didn't fucking care about that shit as much as we
do now.
You know we talk about Nolan's movies we talk about a lot of different like great directors
nowadays who take the time even fucking Rick and Morty taking the time to hire the right
people to really get some of the science down.
Nowadays you make this movie with the scientific inaccuracies fucking you deserve to get cooked.

(50:48):
Yeah yeah I mean I think like you said earlier you kind of changed my point.
It's not really about the fucking accuracy of the film it's more about what it's trying
to portray.
Hey we don't do anything.
This could be a very real threat to humanity and generations down the road.
That's it.
The science behind it is just kind of like we don't have it all figured out.
So fucking whoopty at least we're trying to portray you know a certain image for it.

(51:15):
Exactly.
Well all right you guys.
I'm glad that we got a chance to do some fucking really unhinged shit and also some scientific
shit and a bunch of other bullshit but had fun with it.
That's good.
I had a really good time.
Yeah.
So I think we should just let loose a little more.
Yeah let Isaac say some other things.
Now you know the real us.

(51:36):
Exseparator.
He doesn't represent us as a whole.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Nick said the fucking most outlandish shit ever.
I'm sure.
I'm sure.
You got so upset.
You got so upset.
I did get upset.
I'm not gonna lie.
You know.
Hopefully if you're still listening you don't hate us and you think some of this was at
least funny.
And if you do hate us you can direct your hatred directly at George.

(51:58):
I'm the moderator so just let me know.
Just let him know.
But again curious about your guys' reviews.
We can start around the room.
Let's go with Alexis.
What do you think about this film?
What do you give us?
Dude I'll just give it like a solid six bro.
You know it's like one of those you know like one of those early 2000 movies.
You know what I'm saying bro.
You're so like you know like early 2000.
It's like I don't know man.

(52:20):
It was so good.
It felt good.
Not enough.
After about you know 20 years of maybe waiting to see this movie because I was so scared
as a child.
It wasn't that bad.
It wasn't that bad.
I'm glad I hear that it lived up to.
Six out of ten.
Whatever you thought it was.
What about you George?
Where you at in this film?
I mean there's a lot of takeaways that I really enjoyed.
Like the graphics like I said.

(52:40):
I can't believe it's this old and it aged this gracefully.
There was a lot of things I didn't like.
Like the inaccuracies.
This fucking ad for Pro Global Women that's kind of being shoved down my throat.
And the Wendy's Fuck Wendy's.
Don't be throwing our future sponsors down the drain George.

(53:01):
Just kidding Wendy's we love you.
And then.
Hey Austin we love you.
So anyway I feel like it needed a little more for me.
So I'm gonna give it like a thing with Alexis on this is six.
Alright.
Isaac where you at?
I think I gave it an eight.
What the fuck.
Hell yeah brother.
What the fuck.

(53:21):
Hell yeah brother.
You said America.
Fuck yeah.
Why?
Why?
I can tell you exactly why.
Can I tell you why?
Because this movie is rewatchable as fuck and that's what he likes.
That's true.
That's one.
Two.
I have a really nostalgic memory of me watching it in theaters and like actually watching it
like in a big projector.
I remember like.
So he ain't no scared.
A little scared of me.

(53:42):
A little scared of me.
A little beat.
Well you got taken to it.
It's not like you're like hey.
Nah I was excited dude.
He was in there just like.
I'm like.
It's a guy.
Nah but dude like I remember like leaving the theater in main place and like a fuck
load of people.
Like I remember like if.

(54:03):
That's like.
That's like the fullest I've ever seen a theater in my entire life.
Like I've never.
Like it was so hard to watch it.
Like I remember like no fucking Marvel movie.
Just a blockbuster.
Literally dude.
And no it did five times as much.
This is the definition of a blockbuster.
It is especially for that time before like fucking.
Billion dollar movies.
Like a billion dollars was a common thing.

(54:24):
I mean dude when it came out I was like seven.
We were all around the same age.
I still remember it now.
Like I'm telling you that poster with the statue of Liberty in Frozen.
Like that is engraved in my head.
Iconic.
Yeah there's few iconic posters that are engraved in my head.
Man that poster is slayed.
Yeah.
So now you went.
Even though the movie.
I don't remember.
Today.

(54:44):
Today.
2024.
I'm just switching characters.
I like it.
Show us a movie that wasn't in the 90s or below.
Well Scott Pilgrim I think.
Oh yeah Scott Pilgrim.
But the before trilogy.
But it was.
The second one.
That was three.
The second one.
The second one was in 2004 I think.
And then the third one was 2014.

(55:06):
He's barely cutting it off right now.
There you go.
But a majority of it.
He has been saying that we're going to do some newer movies.
But he made it.
He made it there.
Yeah.
So this one is a seven and a half.
I.
Fuck you guys.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is a good film.
I mean and it's tough for me because I know like Dennis Quaid and nobody else in particular

(55:29):
fucking killed it in this movie.
Like acting wise.
I get that.
Don't get me wrong.
But I also feel like not every movie has to be acted by Oscar winning fucking like actors.
You know sometimes it can be shitty dialogue.
I can't wait for us to one day watch the core for those of you guys who haven't seen it
because it's such a fucking good movie for such a shitty movie.
You really like low rated movies.

(55:50):
I think you know what it is George.
I mean I don't mind it.
I don't mind it.
Like this movie I actually quite enjoyed.
Yeah.
I think it's like I do enjoy like the interstellars of everything you know like the really like.
You like to go against the grain Nick.
And I appreciate that.
I wish I did.
I'm a basic ass bitch.
But no it's like Barbie.
I know I fucking love Barbie Oppenheimer.

(56:12):
I enjoyed Dune too.
We were the left left.
There you go.
Let's go.
It's more important for me that I just get a fucking copyright strike for that.
I know just for that last two fucking real let Nick talk.
But it's just more important for me to understand the mindset when I'm watching a movie and
this is a very easy mindset.
So it's a seven and a half for sure.

(56:33):
Overall rating.
Overall rating.
We round up seven.
Solid seven.
And I think that's fair for a movie like this.
That's money baby.
And I think if you've never seen it I think you'd enjoy it.
Honestly I think I mean I watched it once but watching it again I was like oh this is
not as bad as I remember.
Honestly if you watch this movie in a dark room big TV loud as shit you're fucking scared.

(56:57):
This is one of those movies that it needs to be part of a cinematic experience.
I think so too.
It's like some fucking surround sound all that shit.
I'm telling you dude it was a great movie.
Imagine watching this in Dolby now.
Wow.
Like with the seat like I remember watching Dune too instantly with the vibrating on the
fucking scenes.
He's like I gotta cut it.
I'm too much weight.
They didn't even show the death.
You need to work on your bones son.
I mean help me out.
He's like he said let's get some practice in.
