Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Welcome to Shelf Warmers. I'm Sam.
I'm Andrew. This is the podcast I.
Think we stick for the dog? I've been working at first, but
then it wasn't even too long. Welcome to Shell Farmers.

(00:30):
I'm Sam. And I'm Andrew.
This is the podcast where we watch and discuss movies from
roughly 2012 to 2020. Also known as the pump and dump
period of Hollywood. Not exactly a golden age, but
definitely a time of high fertility for Tinseltown.
So fertile, in fact, that we didn't see many of the movies

(00:53):
produced. So if they're good, they're bad,
or just meh, we're going to cover it all.
If it's been sitting on the shelf.
Well, Sam, it's time to take it down.
Get down off that shelf movie from the past.
It's your time in the spotlight.I hope you guys enjoyed that

(01:14):
alternative reading on our introtoday.
Yeah, I think this is our 12th episode, 12th episode 11th. 12
so you got changes up sometimes you got to keep it fresh but
people who are listening with the first time we don't sound
like that every episode yeah we.We're basically just starting
our podcast and we're already bored of the intro.

(01:34):
Should we give up a different take on it again?
Sure all. Right, this is intro #2 for
everybody at home. Welcome to Shell Formers.
I'm Sam. And I'm Andrew Alexander.
This is the podcast. Where we watch and discuss
movies from roughly 2012 to 2020.

(01:55):
Also known as the pump and dump period of Hollywood.
Not exactly a golden age, but definitely a time of high
fertility for Tinseltown. So fertile, and in fact, that we
didn't see many of the movies produced So good or bad or bad
or we're going to cover it all if it's been sitting on the

(02:16):
shelf, Well, it's time to train your dragon.
Jay Baruchel welcome. Jay Baruchel is not in today's
film. I I do feel like he could be in
today's film. He could have been like the
Scoop Mcneary character. He was going to be Maxwell Lord
in the George Miller's the cancelled version of Justice
League. Is Maxwell Lord Pedro Pascal's

(02:40):
character? In Wonder Woman, yes, and also a
Sean guns the character in Superman.
And Pedro Pascal is now in the MCU, but he was in Wonder Woman
1984. Yeah, how?
Do you feel about these actors who do both?
I don't care. Verse but.

(03:01):
I think they should take as manyroles as they can.
Everything is expensive and people are getting paid less and
less and no one's a movie star anymore.
Just take as many things as you can.
What about Momoa trying to be Lobo?
Ali's trying to be a Lobo. He is Lobo now.
He is. Yeah, he has cast.
He's the Supergirl. Yep, today we're covering 20

(03:22):
fourteens non-stop, directed by Keep You on Your Toes.
Do you know who directed it? I could pick out his name like a
multiple choice thing but I cannot.
I'll tell you it off the top of my head.
He's here. Three-part name.
It's three names and I looked uphow to pronounce it and I forgot

(03:44):
what the guy said on the YouTubevideo.
John May. Collette, Sarah.
OK, he also directed Jungle Cruise.
And such hit as Jungle Cruise, Black Adam, the recent film
Carry On. Did you see that?
The Netflix film starring Jason Bateman and Taron Anderson.
Similar is that to this movie. I was thinking about that.

(04:06):
I was like, I was like, he lovesairports.
He. Loves airports so much he made
two movies about him. Carry on.
A mysterious traveller blackmails a young TSA agent
into letting a dangerous packageslip through security and onto a
Christmas Eve flight. So weirdly a very similar the
kind of setup. And we've got Taryn, Edgerton

(04:27):
and Bateman as the mysterious. Kind of similar like casting
choice for the villain, like a weak guy who you think he's not
a threat, he's a weak little guy.
He's Jason Bateman. Is Hollywood icon Jason Bateman.
He's a little fella. Yeah.
But he's also worked with the star of today's film, Liam

(04:48):
Neeson, several times with Unknown, which was first, then
he does non-stop, and then the next year they did run all
night, which I also. I like run all night.
With common. Yeah, with Common and Joel, the
Joel Kinnaman, Yeah. Kinnaman, you know Jean May,
Colette, Sarah does these actionfilms with Neeson.

(05:12):
He does the shallows. This is his run.
He does non-stop run all night the next year, the Shallows the
following year, which I definitely saw.
That's the shallows. That's the Blake Lively shark.
Movie. Sure, sure, sure.
Definitely saw that. That's not 47 meters down I was
thinking of. And then the following two years
after that, he does The Commuterwith Liam Neeson and then that's

(05:35):
his last film Neeson. Then he does Jungle Cruise,
Black Adam, Carry On. And this year he did that movie
The Woman in the Yard. How do I recognize the poster?
Yeah, I was going to say I remember that trailer because
there are somebody who posts on Twitter like, oh, like, this
looks cool. And I watched it in the theaters

(05:55):
and I was like, this is what they were saying.
Oh, you watched the movie? No, the trailer.
That's the trailer in theaters. Sorry, I did not see it in
theaters. But I was one of those things
where I was like people, like people online were hyping up a
little bit. I was like, this is what the
fuck they were talking about. How do you think somebody like
him, like gets to be like the goto guy for some of these actors?

(06:19):
Clearly he could. Clearly he's had a few now.
I guess he's a chill guy if I had to guess.
He's probably pretty malleable too.
Yeah, he's like a studio hand. Yeah, kind of guy.
He can handle like an ego and hecan make a decent movie and deal

(06:40):
with like the big egos of stars and deal with a big budget and
stuff like that. You know there are polishable.
Did you see either Jungle Cruiseor Black Adam?
These are two post. COVID.
You saw both? Yeah.
I saw both my dad and I saw the Jungle Cruise together because

(07:02):
he really likes to ride in Disney and it was COVID.
What do? You mean it's a really fun ride?
I feel like your dad always has his takes.
Like I feel really passionately about the Jungle Cruise ride, so
I'll go see Jungle Cruise the movie.
Yeah, and we went with I think, I think my little brothers too.
And we all it's it's fine. It it has like 2.

(07:22):
No African Queen. Though it has two really fun
supporting performances from like like some of our guys.
Do you know who's in it? No.
The Paul Giamatti and the villain of the whole thing like
is the Plemons. Plemons is in Jungle Cruise.

(07:43):
He's the villain. He's playing like a rich, like
explorer, like he's kind of doing his version of the villain
from Indy, but I'm blanking right now on his name.
Wait, is the movie The movie good?
No, I mean, it's like, fine. And then I remember the Paul
Giamatti being very like, big and sweaty and like, he looks

(08:04):
crazy and he like runs like a trading outpost or something.
He's like, oh, the rock. You owe me money.
Maybe this is worth watching. Probably not.
But it looks, I guess it does. It looks like weird, cheap
Indiana Jones. Well, because it came out 2021,
right? 20 yeah 21.

(08:27):
I I might have seen this twice in theaters because there was
there was literally nothing. Else.
Playing in theaters and I just wanted to go to the movies.
Yeah, they probably filmed it before COVID.
Oh yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I definitely.
I don't remember a single thing that happens in that movie.

(08:47):
I cannot accept that I like plumbing, probably is a little
mustache and I feel like Paul Giamatti might have like a glass
eye or something like that. Because.
I just remembered those guys actually showing up for it,
yeah. But non-stop.

(09:07):
Produced by Joel Silver, Hollywood icon.
You know Joel Silver. Yes, of course.
Silver Pictures. Right, silly pictures he did.
Predator, Lethal Weapon, Die hard Big action guy.
The film stars Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore.

(09:27):
Julianne Moore, who I think elevates the film quite
substantial. Absolutely, and she's given a
paper thin kind of thing to do. Great mom role almost for.
Her great mom role, sure. Is the mom glasses in this?
Is it would you say is a better mom role in this or in boogie
nuts? Probably Boogie Nights.

(09:54):
Boogie Nights on the whole is ismy surprise listeners.
I think Boogie Nights is probably a lot better than
really. Wow.
Yeah, Sam, do you also know whenthis movie came out?
Well, 2014. Yes, I stare.
I did see in the theaters. It came out on February 28th,

(10:15):
2014. I.
Definitely saw this in theaters.Yeah, it was.
I remember thinking of Liam Neeson as like one of like the
cool guys. He was big.
I mean, this is he's one of those actors who has like
multiple phases in his career. Sure.
Yeah. Like I saw this in the same year

(10:37):
as Taken 3. So I saw two Liam Neeson movies
in one calendar year, which is like crazy to me because I don't
don't think of him like that much.
But I guess I was a big fan. He works a lot.
He doesn't work a lot as IMDb, but he.
Oh also also that really quick, really nothing opened against

(10:57):
us. So I don't have anything else
for you like, Oh, we we saw thatinstead.
There is really no other movie open against us that, like we're
talking about, was this. February.
Yeah. So you know, we still pride some
residual leftover from the January.
From the Oscars. You know.
But I'm just looking at this now.
This is just breaking news. He was also in The Lego Movie

(11:19):
this year. I saw three.
I saw three Neeson movies. I might have seen A Million Ways
to Die in the West, so I could have been 4 Neeson movies in one
calendar year. Did you ever see a walk among
the tombstones? Oh.
How about the night job? These are heavy hitters.

(11:40):
I think I have a memory of my mom watching a walk among the
tombstones on the couch, the very couch on the very couch
that we're sitting on right now.I remember, yeah, I remember
seeing her watching it on, like,video on demand, but I never saw
it myself. So only four.

(12:01):
So only four Liam Neeson movies in one calendar year?
He's good in Lego Movie. He's funny, he he's not.
Back to the second one. I don't think I ever saw the
second one. Second one's good, but it's a
shelf form. Stay tuned for.
For Lego month. Lego clutch powers.
Ninjago we we we. Legit, we probably could do a

(12:24):
Lego month. People would.
I wouldn't want to do. That no, I wouldn't either.
We're lucky if we even do Lego Movie have.
You seen anything good recently?I've seen Lego Ninjago, Lego
Clutch Flower, Lego Clutch Flower we.
Have a podcast and we cover shelf formers and.
Lego actually has a lot of shelfformers, maybe you didn't know
that. Lego was actually really good at

(12:47):
making shelf formers. But but you get it 'cause like
sometimes I build my Legos and Iput them on my show.
When we're fully, you know, creatively bankrupt, we'll
circle back to the Lego show former.
Lego month. Lego month.
I'm Will Arnett. I'm, I'm doing like the could
you host that Lego game show or whatever?

(13:08):
I watched the first season of that show.
Why? Why did you watch the first
season of Lego? Masters.
Lego Master Builders hosted by Will Arnett Because I love like
the baking shows where they like, make cakes and it's the
same format. So the same crew shot it but
they build Legos? It is like, all right guys,
here's your here's your test. Here's a loose bin of Legos.

(13:32):
Build the Mona Lisa. I mean, it be pretty close.
It's like you have 12 hours to build whatever more than that,
because Legos take a while and they come back with some pretty
incredible stuff. But it became a thing, rather.
I was in the middle of watching it, and I was like, I'm actively
wasting my time. Like, sometimes I remember, I

(13:54):
remember having this feeling a lot when I was a kid.
Like, before you can drive whereyou're at home.
I have this theory that, like, when you're a kid, a lot of your
time is just waiting around. Sure.
And sitting. Yeah.
And I would get this feeling usually when I watch, like,
reality TV, where I would get like, this sinking feeling in my
chest. And I'd be like, I'm actively

(14:16):
wasting my time. Sure, yeah.
So I stopped watching the masterbuilders, but I did watch a full
last season. Would sorry, here's my last
question of master builders, please.
Would he would he provide like alike a color commentary?
Of course it was hilarious. Maybe like, all right guys, send

(14:37):
a brick it or stick it. Bateman, right, Bateman, right.
Bateman, right? Bateman, right.
I'm sure, I'm sure we've mentioned this before.
We're not fans of Smartless. It's the laziest.
Sell out it's. The easiest cash grab I've ever
heard in my life. Each week now I'm picking
somebody who I hate. So last week it was John Burns
outside I I hate it for the day week before with Neil deGrasse

(14:59):
Tyson. This week, it's the whole
smartless gang. Yeah, I remember they had Tom
York and Johnny Greenwood on andI was like, so excited.
I was like, I don't even like, do these guys even do
interviews? And then half the episode is
their ad reads. There was, truly.
And the other half is Bateman being like, I basically only

(15:20):
listen to Radiohead and classical music and I'm just
like, fuck that makes me never want to listen to Radiohead
again. A band I love.
Fuck you. Jason Bateman.
There was an episode recently where they had the RZA on.
It was clear that only Will knewwho the RZA was really.

(15:41):
And Sean's be like, Oh my God, the RZA, like Sean, like
Brickley has no idea who the RZAis.
That's the gamble they take withsmart this they never know who's
going to pop up on the Zoom screen.
Which also probably, it's probably a lot easier than first
100 episodes. Yeah.
And they're like, OK, you don't have like, Mark Hamill anymore.
So we went to the whole cast of Arrested.

(16:05):
We got, we even brought back Tambor.
He's uncancelled. But non-stop do you?
Do you know what this movie's about?
Oh, I think I might have a little idea.
Should I try do? You need a reminder.
Would you want? I have it written now, but if
you want to. Would you like to give or would

(16:25):
you to give me a reminder or should I try to remember it from
if? But I watched it last night.
How about you try to remind the listeners and I'll fill in the
gaps. OK, Liam Neeson, he's an air
Marshall in a world where I guess it's like a hot debate,
like air marshals are like kind of like a.
They let anybody become an Air Marshall.

(16:47):
I don't think that's true, Sir. And then the intro like he's
sitting in his car and like he'seither drunk too and he stay in
his car like and they're like these air Marshalls.
I'm like people are mad at with the air Marshalls on like the
news. Like what is this?
So he's like a alcoholic former beat cop, NYPD cop who's now an
Air Marshall. His daughter, she died of

(17:09):
cancer. His wife dumped his ass.
She dropped the Zero and she went for a hero instead, and now
he's an Air Marshall. He spends his days just flying,
even though he hates flying. So he gets horse.
So he gets on a plane and business as usual.
Meets a cute redhead, Julianne Moore.

(17:30):
Maybe his second chance at love,Who knows?
But something's weird he's getting.
He's getting weird text messagesping and not the fun kind.
We all know there's fun messages.
They're scary messages. They are.
They're really scary messages. They're like, hey, like
someone's going to die. It's actually quite.

(17:51):
Blunt it's Someone will die in 20 minutes and every 20 minutes
after that unless. Millions of dollars, $150
million, yeah, which is a lot ofmoney and he has to figure out.
Which is only half of the worldwide gross that this film
made. Really, $300 million?

(18:11):
Nice. Well, a little less 2/22. 2:22
Nice. Hell yeah.
That's you. That's a lot less.
But, well, when you're splittingmillions.
Maybe, maybe in 2014, but not in2025.
Yeah, Yeah. They used to figure out on this,
this huge commercial flight to London who's trying to kill

(18:34):
everybody. How'd I do?
Non-stop. Man, the man is non-stop.
I've got a particular set of non-stop little taken reference
for you. I have a very particular set of
skills. I realized in the research, well
first of all your description was almost word for word what I

(18:56):
have like alcoholic X NYPD turned Air Marshall
International flight. Fight the cute reference the.
Killer. Yeah.
So when we were obviously when Iwatched this movie in 2014, I
wasn't really aware of this stacked cast.
But in hindsight, we kind of this is a lucky film that we

(19:17):
have in our heavy hitters on ourshelf, as we've mentioned,
Julianne Moore as Jen Summers. And for you sweaties, yes, she
is playing the future child of Scott Summers and Jean Grey and
that's why she's a redhead in this movie.
This actually a prequel X-Men ora sequel X-Men that.
Makes perfect sense now. It's not actually.

(19:38):
Don't. Don't believe me?
I realize now what I was trying to think of earlier.
So Liam Neeson, his name in thisfilm is Bill Marks.
OK. And at first, I was like, Bill
Marks, Like, that kind of soundsfamiliar.
Yeah. Yeah, that sounds.
His character in Taken 1-2 and three is Brian Mills.
Bill Marx. Brian Mills.

(20:01):
It sounds like Bill Maher, whichis what I'm realizing to.
Imagine Bill Maher in this film,The Air Marshall.
I think it does sound like Liam Neeson, like trying to say the
name of Bill Maher. I play Bill Maher, Bill Maher,
Bill Maher. Bill Maher, Julianne Moore,
Scoot Mcnairy. Scoot As a squirrely little guy

(20:24):
who we find out later is the villain, the villain of the
whole film, Michelle Dockery, who I watched this with my
grandmother as I do most of these shell formers and
apparently she plays the flight attendant Nancy, Nancy.
Nancy lay me some to give some really good name reading He

(20:45):
does. But Michelle Dockery is from
Downton Abbey. Oh, so my grandma was like,
there's so and so from Downton Abbey.
I just saw the trailer for the third one in in front of in
front of Eddington I think actually, which also has now
Paul Giamatti. Paul Giamatti's in Eddington.

(21:07):
No, he's in. Downton Heavy 3.
He's the third Dalton Heavy. Downton 3.
Downton 3. Those movies make money.
They must. The Last Crusade.
If they make another one, yeah. But like the.
Shell former Corey Stoll Lupita Nyong'o is in this film kind of
wasted as another not wasted but.

(21:30):
She said she's so she she shouldface the whole movie.
He's. Kind of put to waste in this
film, I think. In Black Mass, Corey stole,
which is. Coming up.
But she also plays a flight attendant.
I would imagine they filmed thiskind of before she became Lupita
Nyong'o. Oh.
Absolutely, because they would have like 2 more scenes.
Yeah. So that's not a lot to do.

(21:52):
No, she's, yeah, she's like, maybe like the least used in the
whole cast. Corey Hawkins kind of similarly
has a smaller role. He's got a great career.
Yeah. This was around the time, I
guess right before. Straight out of content.
Straight out of content, but also his his unfinished arc on
The Walking Dead. Why was it unfinished?

(22:14):
He he, he played the character of Heath, which was a larger
character in the comics, but I think he got cast in that show,
right, as he also cast Doctor Dre.
So it was kind of like, do you want to star like the biopic on
N.W.A for Universal Pictures andbe like #2 on the call sheet or
be a reoccurring character for three seasons on The Walking
Dead? And I think he was like, I'm

(22:35):
dipping. It's kind of a hard decision.
Yeah, not. Oh, wait.
Really. I mean The Walking Dead was a
huge ass show. Sure but this was like season 4
so they only had like like 2 1/2more years of good.
Good of good day and one more person who we love love, love,
love why I. Didn't realize was in this until

(22:55):
the last shot, but I heard the voice.
I heard the voice and I was like, who is his voice?
I know this voice in my heart. I I thought it was somebody and
Kirchy thought I was the same person.
It was one of those things that was like really on the tip of my
tongue the whole time. I couldn't figure it out.
I. Thought it was Holt McNally.
It sounds like a similar tone. Yeah.

(23:18):
Turns out it's Shay Wiggum. And I shit you not, I almost
started crying like I have. I had such a visceral reaction
for some reason. I was sitting in a rocking chair
in front of my couch, and my twin was My twin was sitting
behind me, but I was kind of like, blocking the screen in my
rocking chair. But Shay Wiggum pops up and I

(23:41):
whip my head back and we both stay at the same time.
Shay, Shay. And my heart started racing.
Tears started welling up in my face also because before we see
Shay, it's kind of like the classic scene.
This is basically die hard on the plane.
Yes. So there's that scene where Liam
Neeson's in the ambulance and he's, you know, he's got like a

(24:04):
blanket on him and like, for some reason it kind of hit me
where it's like he, his name kind of gets ruined in this
film, his character. Tarnished.
Tarnished. Drag to the mud and by the just
like Superman. Wow.
Bring it back. And he kind of gets redeemed at
the end of the film and it's like kind of you kind of buy.

(24:24):
I bought into it. I was like, hell yeah.
Mr. Air Marshall. Mr. Bill Maher.
Mr. Bill Maher, Mr. Bill Maher and then Shay Wiggins on the
phone. He's like, hey, you're all
right, man. You're all right.
He did good. He was like, this conversation
never happened, but just know you have my full support because

(24:45):
I was like that. That's a contradicting
statement. I.
Was wondering why they didn't dothe die hard thing of showing
Shay Wiggum throughout the wholefilm like they do with Carl from
Family Matters. It is.
Strange, right? Because I guess they don't want
to take you like out of the plane.
Because we, we don't ever, we don't ever.

(25:07):
They like just we don't ever a moment where we leave the space
of the plan. There's not that.
Must have been intentional, which I kind of like.
It makes you feel a little more claustrophobic.
I will say the shade has showed up in F1.
Yes and I did not recognize him.Like I was looking at him and I
was like, this looks like Shay Wiggum, but something looks off.

(25:30):
I was very psyched. I turned to the guy I saw it
with and I was like, Shay, I'll,I'll, I'll yell at Shay to
anyone who will listen. He.
Probably didn't care. It he didn't reciprocate the
Shay enthusiasm. But yeah, I mean, you can
probably imagine how the movie goes.
He's on the plane. How did you feel about the way

(25:51):
this film visually shows texts? I really liked it.
It was kind of cool, right? And.
First of all, he's a BlackBerry.Constant ping, ping ping and
then it popped up on screen as like a title card and.
He's texting so fast. He's such a fast texter.
Yeah, but there's like a but like a smoothness to the

(26:12):
animation, the graphic that likeis how it looks in real life,
which I think weirdly like in a weird way, a lot of movies don't
do texting well for some reason.Like there's kind of like a
stiffness like to the message that here kind of has like here
has the flowiness. Yeah.
So that was a satisfying on a visual level.

(26:35):
So congratulations to the whole VFX star and for non-stop.
Yeah, you did it. You crack texting.
Also, I found out in the research, like we said earlier,
every 20 minutes, this is the text.
Every 20 minutes, someone will die on the plane.
Turns out the film is pretty accurate on that timetable.
Yeah. Yeah.

(26:56):
Every 20 minutes or so, someone does die right on time.
Well, as the first person who dies is actually dies from the
hand of Liam Neeson, yeah, I thought.
That was a really good little twist in the script where he's
like watching on the monitors, like everyone's phones, like

(27:17):
he's watching everyone in their seats and him.
And he instills the help of Julianne Moore and the girl from
Downton Abbey. And they're like, circle anyone
you see on their phone and they circle the guy like one of the
other air marshals that's on theplane with.
Played by Who's that Guy? Jim Caviezel.

(27:38):
Who's that? Jesus Christ himself In what?
The Passion of the Christ. Whoa.
And the and the guy from Sound of Freedom, he's like an alt
right like huge nut now. I don't think I knew that.
Yeah, he's pretty good. Oh yeah, he's good for his.
He he's good for his little role.

(27:58):
But there's basically the first like action, action scene is
he's like traps him in the bathroom and he's like.
Finds out he's a dirty air Marshall.
Yeah, he's a crooked Air Marshall and BM Neeson is forced
to kill him. Breaks his fucking neck.
Crazy. Don't.
Don't grab the gun. Don't do it.

(28:19):
Don't do it. And he snaps his neck.
Brutal. In the airplane bathroom.
But it's kind of cool because then, like, right after he
breaks his neck, the timer goes off and you're like, whoa, we're
in a bigger game. Whoever's behind this knew that
this would happen. And I was pretty hooked.

(28:39):
Even though I'd seen it before, I didn't remember the twists.
Yeah. I was just like, oh, wow.
Like I was thoroughly entertained.
I thought I was smarter. I thought it was a dumb movie at
first, so I was like, oh, so it's Julianne Moore.
Wow. And wants you to believe that a
little bit. Yeah, Trixie is really.

(29:01):
Like is is she bad this whole time?
Nope. Turns out she's.
Turns out it's the guy who lookslike the NSL.
Surprise, surprise, it's. Scoot.
It's. Scooty doodly dude.
It's kind of. Interesting because niece is
like, he's not like very like good in this, but he's not bad.

(29:26):
He's very much asleep at the wheel.
Like he's been playing this now for seven years, you know, since
taken. He can play this part with like
one eye open. And he does.
And like for the first like chunk, like at least till the
action starts, he's like not making like choices.

(29:47):
Like he's sitting there in scenes and like it's completely
blank. He's a little chunkier in this
movie. He's.
A little chunkier. He's skinnier in the Naked Gun,
which is coming out. Yeah, he's also like 11 years
older, which is kind of crazy tothink about too.
Yeah, he's still going. Still going.
But now it's almost like the Naked Gun is like subverting

(30:09):
what he's been doing. Oh, sure.
Which is cool. Yeah.
I don't, I, I, I, I really don'tknow who else his age would have
been able to play that role now.I think Cruz could have done it.
Cruz, well, Cruz's character in Tropic Thunder is based off Joel
Silver, the producer of the film.

(30:32):
I I don't know that. Yeah, like the bigger guy.
The beard. Hollywood hotshot.
On the phone. Big producer, guy.
Big producer. Yeah, Neeson is.
How do you feel about Neeson? I think this is like kind of his
peak in this era because he doesa lot more after 2014, trickling

(30:52):
into the end of the show former era.
But I think this is kind of likewhen, like, you and I both went
and saw us into in the theater, like we were old enough.
It's PG13, which I only realizedafter the fight with the guy in
the bathroom, his phone gets cracked.
Yeah. And when he texts after the
phone crack, the text on the screen is also cracked like the

(31:16):
in like the the graphic and I guess he uses like the F word
and the the fucking in the text was cracked and I was like what
wait, what does it say? Like I leave it.
I got a smart actually F word and it's.
A clever movie like it uses his budget really well.
Yeah and I was like oh it is. It must be PG13, otherwise why

(31:37):
would you censor the the F word in the text?
I realized that when they they're.
Fucking with the wrong guy, he texts him.
When they let's shoot Corey Stoll and and it almost looks
like he doesn't get shot becausethere's like no blood like a
minimal like effect on the gun and he like.
Throws his body back. Yeah.

(31:57):
And I was like, oh, did he get hit or did he hit like a window?
And then just like, Oh no, he got hit, I guess.
Yeah, what are what? Did you do a Marshall?
Oh, he's doing like he's He's also a former New York cop.
Yeah. Stole.
Yeah. Wait, so how do you breakdown
for everybody as Corey Stall? He's one of the suspects.
He's a New York cop, like you said, that's kind of actually

(32:19):
his whole thing, the only thing about him.
It's kind of the classic movie thing where you his.
Brother's getting gay married. Yeah, he's like my fairy
brother's marrying some guy witha British accent and you're
like, OK, man. It's like, it's like, how would
you say that? Like like just not like an
alien. But it's almost like he's true,

(32:42):
like it seems like he actually loves his brother.
He does. His brother, but for some reason
he has to be like my favorite brother is marrying a guy.
Well, could he price that to other cops in the NYPD?
Yeah. Oh, Where you going, hot shot?
Where you going? I'm flying to London.
My favorite brother is marrying a guy.
He's a British accent. Oh.
Oh, and Bill Marks is like, you don't have to put on some

(33:04):
persona for me, boy. My brother is gay too, but he
married a New York gay. He married a New York gay.
Yours is marrying a British gay.We are not so far apart.
And then it's funny because he, well, it's that thing in a movie

(33:26):
where in the 1st 10 minutes, 1015 minutes, you kind of get a
glimpse at all these people on the plane, kind of like Lost or
like I said, Die Hard, where you're kind of introduced all
the characters. And then this mystery kind of
springs into action and you kindof think, well, it could be
anyone, which is, you know, we've seen it before.
But like in a movie like this where it's done well and it's.

(33:50):
Unique. That it's on the plane.
Yeah, I kind of. I've definitely bought into it.
Oh sure, absolutely. I do think it could have.
I do think it could have startedas soon as they were boarding.
Yeah, a little slow on the up. Turn he like, like he's just
sort of like, he's like just wandering around the saddest
airport of all time. And they do this weird thing

(34:11):
definitely dated like 2014, where it's like half of the
image is blurry and it like whips back and like the focus is
all weird. I guess because he's like,
drunk. Yeah.
And he's like honing in on all these little details.
And then see a little girl there.
She dropped her Paddington Bear.And this, this dumb ass girl,
OK, OK, here's one of the here'sone of the characters.

(34:32):
This dumb ass girl, she's flyingalone.
First time she's seen her dad inLondon and she's a Paddington
Bear with her that she drops. Does every British kid have a
Paddington Bear? Our pooser Bash lived in
Scotland for a little bit, whichanother quite not necessarily
British, but they're in the UK, so Bash, is that true?

(34:52):
It's truly saying. Wow.
But she goes, he goes. Oh, what's his name?
Henry. That's not his name.
It's Paddington Bear. It's it's literally Paddington.
He likes Mama that. Yeah, that that's his whole
thing. He's he.
He's a little rain jacket on. It's not Henry.
You don't get to rename Paddington.
No, like he was like a a bland teddy bear.
Sure, call him Henry. But they got.

(35:14):
But they got and they threw the Paddington Bear.
But they show him like he's a nice guy, yeah, because he gives
the girl the bear even though he's fucking wasted.
Also I love. His car so scary. 6 foot 4 drunk
athlete. And then you drop this.
What's his name? I feel like our voice of him is

(35:41):
like 2° away from get off my plane.
Yeah, yeah, he's he's in a similar like range to Harrison
Ford. You can also throw like an Air
Force One vibe in this Sure. Where Air Force One is pre 9/11
non-stop is post. 9 post 911 it's very post post.
Iraq war. It's always pretty loaded

(36:03):
actually. It's a lot more political than I
thought it was good. I remember, I mean, I remember
watching it in the theater and kind of being a little scared.
I don't know how you feel about it, but like for me, like flying
in airports, especially going toNew York airport, which is where
they flew out of. Oh, I've never been to Newark,

(36:25):
so I didn't really. I've only ever flown to Philly.
That's like something I knew as a kid and I was like, Jesus,
that's. Where I fly.
Like I'd go out of there. So seeing this movie, it's like
it does kind of bring some of that stuff up.
And what I kind of like about itis the passengers are also aware
of that. Like they're all extremely

(36:45):
xenophobic to the Muslim guy in the plane, they're like.
Who's a doctor, by the way? Who's a doctor?
And they're like, you're just going to let him.
What is like, I think he's goingaround like searching for the
guy who's threatening to kill people every 20 minutes.
And the Muslim guy has a bag andleave me some like looks through
it and one of the white guys is like, what there was, there was

(37:08):
nothing in there. It's like, no, there wasn't.
Yeah, he's the doctor. He ends up helping everybody
out. Yes, and there's a.
There's the NYPD cop, as we said, yeah, who's also kind of
in in that same vein of like, how can we trust that we're.
Flying coach, What is Air Marshall doing?
And then there is a Scoot Mcnairy.

(37:29):
Scoot Mcnary, like a guy travelling to Amsterdam
supposedly, but he's on a flightto London.
London, someone is not making sense.
And then there is a hacker guy. He's in business class also.
Yeah, who's like in his way or something at the.
Yeah, he just. Security.
Check. He's he's, he's just kind of
like a rude guy. The hacker.

(37:50):
He's like, I'm sorry, was I on your way?
And Liam Mason, just like ices him out, doesn't even talk to
him. Yeah.
And then, yeah, he also turns out to be another bad guy.
Bad guy. There, it's kind of like the end
of Scream. Turns out there's two.
The two guys are in cahoots together.
And he's an Iraq war vet who wants money and scoot.

(38:14):
His dad died in 9/11 so. Wait, what?
Yeah, right. Did he say that?
Did they say his dad died at 9:11?
No he did. I'm reading this now in the
wiki. I must have blacked that.
Yeah, so a scoots hole. His motive is he wants to make
airport safer, right? Isn't that what he says?

(38:35):
He wants to be safer? So like something like what
happened to his dad, like couldn't happen again.
It was pretty fascinating. I will say at the end of the
film how this unravels. Because they're like, because,
because they're are, they're going to jump from the plane and
escape with like the money. Yeah, their, their big plan is,
I guess they looked into Bill Maher and they decide that

(39:00):
they're going to put the money, they're going to take the $150
million that they get. They're going to put it into a
trust in Liam Neeson's name. Very convoluted as I'm
explaining this. So then they're on the plane.
The plan is to crash the plane with Bill Marks on the plane,
killing him, at which point theywill parachute off the plane

(39:24):
before the plane crashes and allthe money.
And I'm tarnishing his name too.And they're ruining his
reputation and making him seem like the guy who hijacks the
plane and crashes it and blows it up.
There's also a bomb on the plane, so their plan is to jump
off the plane. Once Liam Neeson dies, all that
money will be split off, splintered into 100 different

(39:47):
accounts in seven different countries, and they'll be able
to retrieve that money more secretively.
Which is like so convoluted as apoint where leading me seems
like. Well, what about this then?
And they're like, don't worry, man.
Like don't worry man. Like you're not going to find.
Any answer steps ahead of you. Steps ahead of you.
But then he exposes the one stepthey didn't think of.

(40:10):
So what's up? They didn't consider who's going
to live. Yeah.
So the one guy's like, oh, I mean, we're going to jump on the
plane. He's like, no, like, I'm going
down with this plane. We both knew that already.
Yeah, they like it seems like they never talked about it.
Where like. Are we going to die on this
plane? The rude guys, like they're both
vets, right? I don't remember who Scoot was,
but definitely the other guy. They were.
They both like, because I think Scoot is like, I came back to

(40:33):
this country and they didn't want anything to do with me.
And he's like really upset, but he's like, they're like paired,
they're ready to parachute out of there and scoots.
Like we both knew, we both knew we weren't going to live.
And the guys like looks crazy. He's like, wait, what?
Like I thought we were. But it's kind of cool at the end

(40:57):
because there's this whole thingwhere slowly Bill Marks kind of
gets into some trouble outside the plane where people are like
the press and TSA and everyone is starting to think that he is
like the narratives that he's hijacking the plane.

(41:19):
He's a. Drunk with a gun?
He's a drunk with a gun with a tragic past, as we said, like
his daughter passes away, his wife leaves him, he becomes an
Air Marshall after basically being fired from the NYPD.
And by the end, the pilot is oneof the people who dies.

(41:41):
Yeah, it's him. It's the other.
Air Marshall. Who's the only one I like like
the lean using kills except for scoot and then it's a random
passenger. Is that all?
Who does? That I think I saw online that
the body count was 5. So yeah, it would be the three

(42:03):
gay people on the plane and thenthe three, the 2.
Yeah, the terrorists. He gets a nasty headshot on the
scoot. Yeah, Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The plane's the way that might have.
Been one of the coolest parts, yeah, where the plane is
descending rapidly to 8000 feet because basically these two jet

(42:25):
fighters, what the fuck were they called?
Yeah, are like prepared to shootdown the plane.
Because they don't want another version 911.
Yeah, They don't want this to become a larger terrorist
attack. And the pilots like, well, we
got A and they're in contact with the pilot and they're like,
do not just do not change your altitude.
Do not. We will shoot you down.

(42:48):
And he's like, the plan is once they get down to 8000 feet they
will the bomb will blow up and at that point the air will be
less pressurized or something soit won't be as horrible.
Whereas if they were at like 25,000 feet it would just
destroy everything. Yeah, tear everything up.
So they rapidly, the plane rapidly dips down and then

(43:10):
everything becomes like 0 gravity on the ship and Liam
Neeson's like flying back with his gun and he just pops one.
Right into scoots like temple. He's done.
But also, like right before the bomb goes off, this is like his
moment where like he convinces everybody there's a good guy and
he has to do like the rousing speech.

(43:32):
I was a little. I was a little tickled by this
stuff. I was a little tickled too, but
I was like, I don't know, like it's.
Like, it's, well, first there's this whole thing on the news
where they're like, he's the badguy, He's a drunk.
They dig up all his demons. Yeah, it like, but this movie is
like so like overridden like in kind of like an annoying way

(43:54):
sometimes like where it's almost, it's almost like the
opposite of Die Hard, but that'slike I'm going to.
Divorce script is airtight. I'm not.
I'm going to divorce. I'm at a Christmas party.
This is like he used to do a rousing speech like.
I everything you heard them say about me is true.
It's true. I'm an alcoholic.
My my kids dead. My wife left.

(44:14):
Me, he's like, I'm not a good hauler.
I'm not a good man. And they're all like nodding
like they're like hell. He's.
American. And they just, they're all cool
with it at that point. Yeah, he's like but.
I that bomb on this plane. I gotta stop it.
And Corey stalls like, oh like. Bros at that point.
Yeah, they're Bros now. And then everyone kind of makes

(44:35):
a man because then. Also also also they try to
attack him first. Oh, it's so trying to jump on
him. What is he in the bathroom,
Right? And then he.
Comes out of the bathroom. And it's like weirdly quiet.
He's like, huh. It's like.
Nine guys jump on him and he nothe knocks down every single one.
He drives one guy with a face and just runs up into the plane

(44:56):
wall. The action is like, it's fun to
watch. It's not John Wick.
It's not quite as choreographed.Because he's kind of like huge
and clumsy. Yeah.
So like him, I was like him during the airport or, sorry,
him in the bathroom fight with him and Jim Caviezel.
I was thinking about 6 foot 4 Liam Neeson, 200 plus pounds in

(45:19):
that a little bathroom fighting with also huge Jim Caviezel.
Yeah. So it's interesting.
Have you seen the episode of Atlanta that has Liam Neeson in
it? No.
Because he got kind of soft cancelled for a little bit.
Do you remember this? He like admitted, he was
admitted when he was younger that he was a racist because his

(45:39):
friend, he said, had been assaulted by a black man.
So then he went to the streets of London or Northern Ireland or
everyone at the time, and he waslike going to go out like and
kill a black guy. And this is like, this is like
literally his own quote. And he was having the premiere
of that ice movie he did with him and Laura Durham, where he's

(46:02):
like, it's, it's similar set up,but the Cold Pursuit.
Yeah. And the premiere got cancelled
and everything like that. And then he was like soft
cancelled for a couple years. And then he was on the episode
of Atlanta. The Ice Rd.
The ice road. And he was on episode of Atlanta
and Donald Glover, like, wrote the scene for him.

(46:22):
And it's like about he's like, Idon't know, I'm fine because
people don't really care. He's like, you know, he's like,
yeah, like, you know, I said this thing, I'm fine.
Like, yeah, but like it. But really, it's a really,
really like, funny and like, also like a also like an
apologetic scene. Like he wasn't sure if he should
do it or not. So like he asked his kids about
Atlanta and they were like, yeah, like it's a really funny
show. And this is like how you come

(46:43):
back from that. And he was like, OK.
And he did it and, like, really liked it.
Wow. I mean, he definitely works a
lot and he's been in a lot of good stuff.
Yeah, he's. Oh wait, I'm confused now.
I'm seeing Cold Pursuit and The Ice Road AS2 separate films.
I guess. I guess he loves ICE as much as

(47:04):
this director loves airports. And loves airports.
I mean, he's also big for us. We can talk about this, but he's
big for us because he's quite onGent.
Of course, yeah. Who is one of the best parts of
the prequels? Yeah.
I mean, I mean, he kind of he, he kind of out acts most people

(47:24):
in that first movie. Yeah, and he's just so chill and
you love him. And when he died?
Heartbreaking. It is it, it's, I mean, there
are, there are, there are actually a couple people from
Star Wars in this too, because Lupita was Maz Kanada.
Oh my God dude, blast in the past.

(47:45):
Her career is so fascinating. She's never on the show.
Her. Maz Kanada.
I would love to have Maz Kanada.I'd love to have her and Unkar
plot. Is that the quarter portions?
Quarter portions, yeah. And I would love to have not the

(48:07):
BB8, but I'd love to have like the stuttering Droid who is
voiced by the JJ Abrams and 90. My God.
And I would love to have others nuns from up to date.
I don't even know what those are.
I saw that movie once and was soupset.
I don't want to talk about Star Wars Up City anymore.

(48:28):
I like that movie and and I don't want to get.
Into it, but he's also racial ghoul.
Oh yeah, true. Which?
Is great. He's good in Dark Knight Rises.
When he comes back, he's like a figure and Bruce is in the
whatever that is, the whole. I almost said that the Islam

(48:51):
Nublar, but that's but that's but that's Allen Jurassic Park.
Yeah, there is like a. There's a name for the whole,
but I can't think of what it's called.
The Isla Nublar Isla Nublar I was born in Isla Nublar.
I was born in Islam Nublar, raised by the Raptor.

(49:13):
John Hammond didn't let me go outside too well to the pack
those down. I love bane Bane.
I've I I love sorry we're talking a little Dark Knight.
I I love that Christopher Nolan shows that as the voice.
What are the insane choice for him to be.

(49:35):
I would make Bane sound like that on this stupid pursuit of
my Batman films are very are very like real and very gritty
and the grounded in reality. Yeah, of course you would sound
like that, but you didn't have to, man.
I mean, that's a funny choice. It's also awesome though.
Oh, it's so awesome. Especially because it's Hardy.

(49:57):
Yeah. So it's production facts in
Slate time, Sam. Yeah.
So I got a few facts here. The set for the plane was built
slightly larger than a standard commercial airliner to
accommodate Nissan's. As you said, 6 foot 4 height.
So they literally had to make a bigger plane because it would
have looked strange of him. He was like leaning over the

(50:19):
whole time. I was thinking about that and I
did have it in my nose, but I kind of forgot to go back to it.
I would love to film in one of these sets.
Well over 90% of the movie was shot in a two week period really
on this plane. Wow, yeah, I guess it was like
theater a little bit. Yeah, and there were 200 extras

(50:40):
who were cast and stayed throughout filming.
It also makes sense. Well, that would have been fun.
Yeah, To just be an extra for two weeks.
And you just sit down all day. Yeah, and watch Liam Neeson
scream, punch guns. The movie, like I said there was
exactly 100 minutes long not counting the closing credits,

(51:03):
and exactly 5 people die on the plane disagrees with the
terrorist promise to kill one person every 20 minutes.
Apparently Julianne Moore is a big fan of Downton Abbey and
like fangirl doubt when she got to work with Dockery.
Michelle, that's really. Sweet.
I like hearing stuff like that, like especially about the older

(51:25):
generations of actors being likeand like, oh, like I'm really
fan of this ex person. Like it's up and coming.
Like there was a sweet thing to hear about that.
It probably means so much. Yeah, I mean, Julianne Moore is
probably one of my favorite actors.
Safe. Incredible.
Boogie Nights. Incredible.

(51:45):
Magnolia. Incredible.
All the Todd Haynes stuff. Neeson was paid $20 million.
Jesus. The biggest salary of his
career, which I feel like that'swhy this is kind of the peak of
his second. Act absolutely.
As being like Liam Neeson. I'm surprised you didn't get
like more for like like the third Taken movie he was.

(52:07):
Like was later paid the same amount for taking 3.
Congratulations. And as always, we have our
sweaty Marvel trivia fact. Nerd roundup Sweaty Marvel
roundup. What do you want to say?
4 actors from this film went on to the MCU.
Can you name them? Yeah, let me think.

(52:29):
Some of them are deep cuts here.Corey stall as a yellow jacket
slash Modoc what? Yeah, he's Modoc.
He becomes Modoc and Ant Man 3, the one we talked about earlier.
Oh yeah, we were having breakfast at the diner and we
heard. We separately talked about Ant
Man 3 quantum. And we heard.

(52:55):
Yeah, from obviously Good by Yellow Brick Road, but they use
that in the Ant Man 3 trailer and in such a stupid and funny
way that it's now burned into our heads.
We saw so many movies at the time that we just play over and
over again. We're.
Definitely diseased. We're like, you know, we're
like, we're like Bucky because we were in the we were in the
booth and we were having a conversation as friends do

(53:17):
socially. And then this we heard the song
and we both kind of cocked our heads to the side and stop
talking. And we were like, oh, oh, it's a
disease, folks, get your MCU vaccination today.
So yeah, Corey stole the. Man 1 wake him in the MCU.

(53:42):
You just mentioned the other one.
Well, Shay is. Shay is also in this.
Do you know what Shay was? It's kind of obscure.
In the MCU, is he like an Iron Man or something?
He played SSR Chief Dooley in season 1 of.
Agents of SHIELD. Agent Carter.

(54:03):
Agent Carter Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
So Shay, Corey Stall is Corey. Oh, I do think Corey Hawkins is
actually, because I've looked onCorey Hawkins IMDb page.
I think it's an Iron Man 3, right?
That's not listed here, but it'spossible.
Oh, then I don't know how I'm thinking of them.

(54:24):
You mentioned her, Lupita Nyongo.
Oh yeah. And apparently, Anson Mount Air
Marshall Jack Hammond. Oh, that was Anson Mount.
I don't think you were saying who.
Jim Caviezel. Yeah, I don't think that's who
it was. Oh I completely got it wrong

(54:44):
then. Jim Caviezel and him look
similar though. Who's Anson Mount?
Anson Mount played the Black Bowl and the Inhumans and Doctor
Strange, and he's Captain Pike on Star Trek the Brave New
Worlds. OK, Brave New Worlds, Is that
what it's called? Yeah.
How can they call it that? Or, sorry, Star Trek Strange new

(55:07):
worlds. Did we talk about that gym hall
clip for Strange World? I think we have talked about
before, yeah, I was world star. World Star Strange sure is a.
Strange world. Sam, what's on the slate for
this week? Yes.
So honestly, last few episodes I've been kind of uninspired.

(55:29):
Sure, with my slates. I feel like the earlier episodes
I was like, I was like, oh, likethis is like the wall.
This is like, you know, all these great movies, but I was
kind of interested in the Joel Silver of it all.
Sure. So I have my Joel Silver Hall of
Fame, which you could pair with this movie, even though this is

(55:52):
kind of like a later era. As I mentioned, he's the
inspiration for the Tom Cruise character in Tropic Thunder.
He's a Jersey boy. I found out this little bit of
trivia. So he attended Columbia High
School in Maplewood. During his time there, him and
these other guys created the rules for what he called

(56:14):
Ultimate Frisbee. What?
He was later inducted into the USA Ultimate Hall of Fame.
As a result of this, he inventedUltimate Frisbee.
That's like how Todd Field was the Co inventor of Big League
Chew. Is that fucking true?

(56:35):
Yeah. Wow.
And with friends, the Kurt Russell when he was like a boy,
I want. To go.
Get it? And his father-in-law.
Was he a kid actor Todd Fields. I I think so.
Or he was, he was on a baseball team with Kurt Russell that his
dad or the Kurt Russell and his dad were friends maybe or
something like that, something strange that and then his

(56:55):
father-in-law wrote The Cuckoo'sNest.
How bizarre. Yeah, I always love this kind of
weird little things, entertainment like that.
Really little things. So as I mentioned, this is like
a Die Hard on a plane. My first slate pick is Die Hard,
the one that you could argue oneof the most influential

(57:17):
Hollywood films of all time, especially for that genre.
Absolutely. It's it still talked about?
It still talked about like it islike the greatest movie of all
time. And it holds up.
And then about 10 years later, he does a little film called The
Matrix. So is your slate just action

(57:38):
movies are produced by Joel Silver?
Yeah, OK. Joel Silver, Hall of Fame.
Joel Silver, Hall of Fame. Which is also one of the most
influential movies of all time. True, this guy is producing
heavy hitters. True.
And then kind of a late era favorite of ours, The Nice Guys.
Yeah. So be thankful that we had Joe

(57:59):
Silver. Now, Sam, I do believe that I
have, I do believe that bit of asurprise for you today.
Yeah. I landed something big for us.
What'd you do? I landed an interview with the
star of non-stop, Liam Neeson. Really.
Yeah. And I don't know.
Why you didn't bring this up sooner?

(58:21):
Well, well, because I want to surprise you.
I didn't want to over shadow ourhonest thoughts on the episode.
I wanted to keep us honest journalists because that's what
we are, journalists. Yeah, we are journalists at this
point, but I think there's a bitof a snafu here.
I think there might be a slight issue with the fact that I think
he, I think William's mad at us or something.

(58:43):
Mad. Why would he be mad at us?
He, I think he heard a cut segment we did because his
producer, he asked for the raw files of each episode before he
came on. And we do allude to the fact
that there are several photos ofMr. Neeson with piss in his
pants in public. That's right.

(59:06):
We did talk about that so. I think he, I think he got his
feelings hurt and he decided to cancel on us.
But his PR person's here. OK, instead.
So please welcome to the show Wesley Urine.
He wants me to say that there's no relation to to Urine and

(59:27):
Jump. It's just his family name.
Hi everyone. Hi, Wesley.
Hey. Wesley.
Thank you for coming today. And thanks for and thanks for
having me. I know you scheduled an
interview with Mr. Neeson this week to promote his new movie
The Naked Gun to see you in theaters August 1st, but.

(59:51):
We would love that. And you're discussing his film
non-stop, what she's very proud of.
But I pulled that OK. I said, why Mr. Yeren?
Did you hear at Because you hearat Shelf Warmers are pieces of
shit. Piece of shit, Frank Dreven.
Sorry, PR brain. Frankly, I met in episode 1 of
Shelf Warmers in a segment you deleted, which don't get me

(01:00:13):
wrong, I appreciate. I appreciate that.
Yeah, yeah, my client appreciates that.
Sure. You still to discuss the
doctored photos on the Internet of my client, apparently with
piss in his slacks. That's not good for us, No.
So we screened the first two episodes for Liam.
He liked them. Oh.
Great. But he was still feeling a

(01:00:35):
little anxious about you guys, so he made me check the Rawls.
He checked the Masters. Low balled You 2 immature brats
talk piss gate. OK?
Liam was ready to turn the othercheek.
But I am out to set the record straight and protect my client.
The record shows that you that your two actions have
consequences. Really.
I mean Jesus, so. So So what?

(01:00:56):
So you think my client pissed his pants?
I don't know, I just think maybethis is a bit of an overreaction
considering we cut the bit. You entertained it.
You entertained the fabrication.That's like, that's like, that's
like you, that's like, that's how you going out entertain.
A JFKS head just fucking exploded.
Wait, what? Say this head just explode like

(01:01:17):
it just did that. What do you think happened?
Well, I know he was shot in the head.
I'm saying I'm saying I just exploited on his own.
So I'm saying So what? You think it's funny?
So what, you think it's funny? OK, let's entertain this for a
second. Please.
That Mister Neeson, he he did pee his pants as a grown adult.
You, you think that's funny. You think you should mock for

(01:01:38):
it? I think you.
Should mock him for that. Me and Andrew think it's a
little humorous, yes. It is a little funny.
Oh yeah, I'm still here. Hey, Andrew, I'm.
Still here, I'm just quiet because I'm embarrassed.
So what? So what you so you YouTube both
think it's saying to a mock an adult who can't control his
bladder even if that was the case?
OK, OK, OK. Even if that was, it's not

(01:02:00):
funny. You know what my client is a
celebrity. He's gone to millions of
restaurants, millions photo shoots.
There are 5 pictures of him of what appears to be liquid on his
slacks and he's and he's dubbed the bed wetter.
Well, conveniently, these puddles in his pants are right
around his private parts. Yeah, you would never stood up

(01:02:24):
at a restaurant really quick andknocked a whole glass of water.
I knocked a whole large Sprite onto your pants.
Have you never done that before?Is that what happened to Mr.
Denise? Yeah.
He knocks, he knocks water, he knocks Sprite.
He's he's not really a Coke. I guess Sprite doesn't have the
the caffeine doesn't do caffeine, but he's not Sprite.
Well, Coke does water. Piss when it's on your pants.

(01:02:45):
That that's what I'm saying. We're doing the same thing.
Sprite water. I'm implying that I think you
are making it seem like it's Sprite or Mountain Dew or
whatever might explain the piss puddles.
He has he has spilled a whole gallon of Mountain Dew on
himself before. But that's.
But that's But. But that was not even a punk.
I just saw my own eyes. OK.

(01:03:06):
I have an eyewitness here. And who can back me up?
Who can back me up and clarify? OK.
OK. Hello.
Hi. This is John Furbrano speaking
and I just need to get somethingoff of my chest and put it onto
the record. See, I want to.
Go on the record here and state that in front of you all and
this recorder that with my hand on my heart, and my hand is on

(01:03:27):
my heart, my. Left hand.
Sorry, I see it you. Can't see it here, but that's
OK, it's. I can see it, don't worry.
That was that when you recorded it and.
If I was the kind of person who swore on things like this, I
would swear, but I don't do thatkind of.
Thing He's a good guy. I was.
On the street that fateful day. And Liam Neeson did not.
In fact, I'll say it again did. Not whoa in.
Fact urinate in his trousers. What he did do, however, is help

(01:03:52):
a pregnant. Woman across the street.
Now that's the kind of guy we'retalking about here.
Wow, that's some public wow. He's.
A goddamn Samaritan. Sounds like it.
Spike on Jen then. I know that if someone was in
need, he would take off his pants and give them away in a
heartbeat and. He keeps shorts under them,
talking about for a different reason.
Liam Neeson, I know he's a good man, a good man.

(01:04:14):
Wow. I did not mean to.
I don't mean to reveal that he keeps shorts under his under his
slacks or trousers, but that's just for a different reason.
Because he's always ready to play.
Like he's always ready to play apickup game of basketball.
Yeah. Or ultimate Frisbee.
He's he. He's a little too big for that.
Yeah, but he can dunk. My client can dunk.

(01:04:34):
He can dunk. Wow, your fucking producer's
shaking his head. I mean, my client can dunk.
OK, so I. Just, I just don't think Bash
appreciates you coming in here like this and being a little bit
rude to me and Andrew. You guys started being rude.
I'm just teaching your your lazyass generation.
I'm 75 years old, by the way. Yeah, I'm older than Liam

(01:04:57):
Neeson. Yeah, well, you look like you're
about fucking 15, buddy. I still smack your shit out.
I think it's time for you to go.Yeah, OK, well, it's a carpeted
floor, so you didn't hear me walk in, but you're heal me
stomp really hard out. OK, OK.
Jesus. You woke the dog up, asshole.
Way to go fucker. And guess what?

(01:05:18):
Guess what? Guess what?
We still like Schindler's List. Love that movie.
Great movie. What a fucking asshole.
I hate that guy. Didn't even.
I thought maybe he might have the message from Liam.
No, it didn't work. I I still think he puts his
pants back. I think about it even more now.

(01:05:41):
Yeah, it's like, jeez. I'm still going to see a naked
gun. Yeah, me too.
But you know, I, you know, before the movie starts, it is
going to kind of be on my mind. Like fuck that PR guy.
Yeah, he's probably, he's probably producing.
God damn. Maybe, maybe shelf over fans.

(01:06:01):
I think we should boycott seeingthe release of the new The Naked
Gun movie, because I don't. If you're paying for it, if you
have stubs, you know, I don't really have whatever, but.
I I don't really know who gets the money, but if not then I
don't. I don't really think you should
see the movie. No, no, no.
He just harassed us. That was horrible.
Yeah, well, Leanne, we're still fans of you, but you're but

(01:06:22):
you're but you're PR guy. He's got to die.
Yeah. He should die soon, yeah.
He's, I mean, he, I mean, he's old as hell.
He made it himself. OK, well what a what a bummer
way to end the episode. Yeah, kind of a downer, but I I
guess we should tell everyone a rating or how we feel about the
movie. Yeah, absolutely.

(01:06:43):
I would say, Sam, would you, youknow you're packing for a big
trip, you know you're going to London, it's your first time
overseas. Would you throw this in your
carry on along with, let's say, your handgun and your badge?
And your copy of Carry on Carry.On the 2024, well, you don't

(01:07:04):
have physical release of Man because because it's on Netflix.
Unless it gets like on the Criterion collection like the
Irishman. Which it could.
It could. Or would you rather put the
luggage when the back of the plane and let it blow and let it
blow up as you as you quickly fall to 8000 feet?

(01:07:26):
You know what, I'd throw it in because it would probably be a
best served as a plane movie. Absolutely one of the few movies
that can. Say that, but they probably
would edit it down. Yeah, some dark.
It would be a little bit too close.
It probably like it probably a 10 minute long movie like it
probably him in his car and thenhe grabs the like grabs the bear

(01:07:50):
and then. They land.
Yeah, and he hugs the girl and. What about you?
Well, I've seen this before. So as we said, like you and I
saw in theaters, so there was a bit of a soft spot there.
I guess I'm just like thinking back to a movie that I really
did not care about, but I was, you know, like that was 11 years

(01:08:11):
ago. I was thinking about the time I
was at. But, you know, I I don't think
it ever reaches the heights of something like Die Hard or a
Lethal Weapon. I fled to the 80s action movies
were able to were able to overwrite in a way like, you
know, like we watch, like, you know, I watched the first the

(01:08:34):
weapon on a plane the other day and you care about Yeah.
And it's great. And you care about their
families and the fact that like once suicidal and it's like you,
you really like you like you have to buy into that.
Yeah, I forgot that part of. It yeah.
And it's like also, it's still insane.
And there's like a scene like they're like, like Mel Gibson is

(01:08:55):
shirtless and he throws a guy athis friend and then breaks their
necks. He's like shirtless and like
he's a huge mullet. And I'm like, it's just like
fun. And this is fun, but it's just
like never as like it's never going as far enough as you would
hope it would. And I just miss that little
action. We like I I would like, I don't
need to be like so overridden and like try to be clever on

(01:09:18):
itself. Like I just want like, see lean
missing. Just kill some guys.
Some flair. So I would leave in the back of
the plane and let it explode while we descend 8000 feet.
Hell yeah. Thank you for listening to this
very special episode of Show Formers.
