Dude amazing, amazing , did it, yep we?

Speaker 1 (01:05):
are officially 41.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
I was going to say eight years older than Jesus
Christ when he went to the cross, but then I was like maybe I
shouldn't say Maybe we shouldn'tcompare ourselves to Jesus and
his miraculous feet.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
The Bible tells us to compare ourselves to Jesus all
the time, but not to claim to beJesus.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
I didn't say be like Jesus.
I didn't say be like Jesus.
I didn't say we were Jesus.
I said we're.
You know what?
You're right, thank you.
We should not claim to be Jesus.
You're right.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Yes, don't defend that.
I'm Wait, I'm kidding.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
I'm kidding, oh man, so dude.
Do we got any announcements forepisode 41?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
And if you go to YouTube, there are several live
streams that you can't find.
I don't think you can find themon the general podcast apps.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
No, it's only on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Only on YouTube.
So make sure you go and checkout our YouTube channel to get
those live stream recordings.
Yeah, yeah, and on that note,we are not doing a live stream
worship night on the 4th of July.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
That's right.
We don't want to compete withthe fire in the sky, that's
right.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Fire in the sky.
So it will be.
The 11th of July is when thelive stream worship is happening
.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
The truth be told, we're going to spend time with
our friends and family.
Yeah, and secondary.
We don't want spend time withour friends and family.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
And secondary.
We don't want to compete withthe fire in the sky, the
colorful fire in the sky, that'sright.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
I mean this doesn't really apply to all of our
global listeners, but for all ofour American listeners.
We will not be recording on the4th of July.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
4th of July 4th of July and if you don't know what
that is, listen in right now andJohnny's going to tell you what
the 4th of July is.
I was like I was doing in mymind like will it fall on or
around that we could do anepisode on the 4th of July.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
I watched a video today of this.
It's a Christian like, I guess,tiktoker or Instagram or guy.
She today of this.
It's a christian like, I guess,tiktoker or instagram or guy.
He just posts his christiancontent but he was making a mock
video talking about how thefourth of july is a pagan
holiday and then he just gives abunch of random connections to
why it's the worship of satanand he's like so if you're a

(03:42):
christian and you're celebratingthe fourth of july, how?

Speaker 1 (03:45):
dare you?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
you know what guys in the comments, let us know if
you want a fourth of julyepisode, and we'll connect to it
, of how it's pagan mysticmysticism, no, but uh, yeah, it
was funny because I mean, whenwe talk about the different
holidays, every time that we getinto them it's like the
progression is Maybe at somepoint it was paganistic.

(04:12):
Well, there's a correlatingpagan holiday that happens at
that time, and then Christianitycomes into the world.
They're still celebratingbecause of the changing of the
season or what have you, butthey make it about christianity.
And then, when we get into theconsumerism, materialistic
western societies, it becomessomething totally different,

(04:35):
that deviates from acknowledgingthe christian faith and just
becomes a materialistic thing,you know.
So it's like I mean, that'swhat I mean.
Christmas and halloween, that'sthe biggest battle is.
It's not about, like, theworship of satan, it's about the
things that people are buyingbecause it makes them feel good.
You know.
It's like, well, you're kind ofdeviating from what the

(04:58):
holiday's about.
You know like there is somespiritual truth to it for the
Christians, and then you knowother people will say no, it's
pagan.
But, really most people.
They're celebrating it for thematerialism.
Yeah, and it's like come on,just like Fourth of July.
I mean, how many people arelike, yay, I am so glad that we

(05:21):
declared independence from theUnited Kingdom?

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Right?
No, at least everybody is.
Let's go buy those fireworks.
Let's go watch the fireworksand eat a really good hot dog.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Let's wear some red, white and blue, maybe eat some
ice cream and a hot dog andwatch some fire in the sky
what's that it?

Speaker 1 (05:43):
I'm trying to.
I hear it all the time.
It's like you look like the 4thof July.
It makes me want to eat a hotdog.
Real bad, I have no idea.
It's a quote from a movie and Idon't know.
I hear it all the time but Idon't know what movie it's from.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, I couldn't tell you, I've never heard that
before.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
It's like a woman and she sounds like owen wilson.
Wow, isn't that the?
It's the same woman from whatwe're about to talk about.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
We're talking okay, okay, that's what I was about to
say that's a great segue,that's so funny that I knew

Well, you ready to do whatwe've been promising to do for
weeks now?

Speaker 1 (08:01):
I feel like it's been more than weeks, I think it's
been months, because we werepromising before the movie came
out.
Yeah, and then the movie cameout, and we had to wait until
almost the movie, until, likethe last day, the movie was
showing.
Yeah, the movie is now out oftheaters, it's on streaming
services, mm-hmm.
And here we are.

(08:21):
And now, finally, here we are.
And now, finally, here we aredoing our in-episode mini-review
.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, so we have two topics tonight, and the first
one, tyler.
This is your transition.
We are moving into our reviewof the Minecraft movie.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Jeep, grand Cherokee so funny.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Oh, are you going to sue me?
Everyone tries to sue me when Ihit them with my Jeep Grand
Cherokee so funny.
Oh, are you gonna sue me?
Everyone tries to sue me when Ihit them with my Jeep.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Grand Cherokee Linda.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Can I take you to dinner?

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Linda, the moment you hit me with your Jeep Grand
Cherokee I knew you were the onefor me last night.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Last night, when you hit me with your Jeep Grand
Cherokee I knew I was in lovewith you we're talking about the
Minecraft movie.
Minecraft for those who didn'tcatch the Jeep Grand Cherokee
yeah, the Jeep Grand Cherokeereference self done.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Oh my gosh, like seriously.
Probably some of my favoriteparts of the movie were not the
minecraft portions of the movies, it was the real world
interactions between female owenwilson and the villager.
That's so funny, dude.
Not saying that the rest of themovie wasn't good or funny.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, that just was so much funnier to me and for
those who have no idea who we'retalking about, her name is
jennifer coolidge jennifercoolidge I think she's on the.
She's doing a lot of uh, Ithink it's capital one
commercials.
Yeah, she's just she's doing acredit card commercial.
So it's like she's in thismovie out of nowhere and you're

(10:04):
like oh, okay, because she'slike a school worker, right,
like a teacher.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
She's the principal school principal, that's right.
Yeah, I don't know if y'all cantell it's been a couple months
since we've seen this movie yeah, so let's you know what let's
get into the uh overview.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
let's just give the overview for the movie Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
So Jack Black as Steve, steve, and he wants to be
a miner, right, is that what itwas?
He wanted to go into the mines.
He wants to go into the minesfor adventure, but he was too
young.
Because he was a miner, becausehe was a child, yep.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
So if you look it up on the internet, it says four
misfits are suddenly pulledthrough a mysterious portal into
a bizarre cubic wonderland thatthrives on the imagination.
To get back home, they'll haveto master this world while
embarking on a quest with anunexpected expert crafter.
It's not unexpected, no, weknew who he was From the very

(11:07):
beginning.
It's very obvious that SteveJack Black's character is a
master crafter, is a mastercrafter and also he's going to
be the way that the othercharacters get home Real quick.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
this is probably going to be a spoiler-filled
review of the movie.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, I mean, if you haven't seen it yet, that's on
you, it's not on us.
You've had plenty of time.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, it's been two months.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
So I will say that I was surprised, because a lot of
the characters are newer.
When you see all thecommercials and stuff, it's the
faces you recognize are jasonmomoa and jack black.
But there were several peoplethat you're like, oh, I didn't
know that they were in this,right you know.

(11:54):
So like, uh, jermaine clement.
He's in it for like 30 seconds.
He does the.
He's the auctioneer at thebeginning of the movie.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Auctioneer at the beginning of the movie.
Yeah, that's right Whenever?
Yeah, at the storage unit.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, he's like you don't understand storage unit
people and also Matt Berry had avoice cameo at the very end.
Oh, he's the villager it's likewait what he has an iconic
voice.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
You know who he is let's see, there was more than
that.
Jennifer coolidge too, like youknow, yeah, but she wasn't like
a cameo, she was like acharacter she was a character
throughout it.
I thought I had on my notesother cameos, but I guess I
don't do.
You know, uh, kate mckinnon,matt berry and jermaine clement.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Okay, kate mckinnon is alex, so like.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
So you.
She is, but you don't even seeher face right but you hear her
voice and I guess it's a cameoto imply that she's going to
play that character, yeah, inthe sequel which they're going
to make a sequel, come on, areyou sure they are dude?
Okay, how much do you thinkthis movie made?

Speaker 2 (13:16):
I bet you have it in front of you, don't?

Speaker 1 (13:22):
know it is the second highest grossing video game
movie ever.
Really, $954 million, wow,they're making a sequel.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
What's number one?
What do you think number one is?
If you had to guess.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
A video game.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
You're going to be mad when I tell you if you don't
get it.
I feel like it's somethingsilly, like maybe sonic no, okay
, it is illumination's supermario brothers movie oh yeah, I
should have known.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yeah, exactly about that.
When we're talking aboutfantasy, about how it it's in
the top ten.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah, it's considered a fantasy movie.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Unreal.
So anyways, yeah, we got oldJack Black as Steve in this
movie.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
So he wants to be an adventurer, go into the mines
and just explore and be creative.
Yeah, that's the big thing,that's a huge theme on this
movie is creativity.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, he doesn't want to.
That's a huge theme on thismovie is creativity.
Yeah, he doesn't want to.
He's tired of the mundane,judgy, stereotyping world and he
wants adventure and freedom ofcreativity.
And he finds it by goingthrough a portal into the
overworld in Minecraft.
Right.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
And then when he's there, he's stuff, he's living
there, he's having a great timebuilding all this grand stuff
like you do in minecraft, yeah,and then he finds some obsidian.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
I mean, yeah, I mean that's, that's the entire thing.
Like, yeah, he finds a chestwith a ruin.
He finds a ruin, there's achest conveniently next to it,
it has the one missing block,which is like funny enough.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
In Minecraft, the beginner like it's like the
shortcut thing that they'll giveyou if you choose for, like the
head start to your world.
They kind of put some of thepieces of the stuff you need to
go to the nether in the game andthat's what he finds is like
the shortcut yeah, yeah, it wasinteresting how they pick and

(15:28):
choose, like what they put inthe movie.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
As far as updates to the game, yeah, so, like some
things are very like old schoolminecraft and then it's kind of
littered with newer stuff fromdifferent updates.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
But it's not all.
I would say, just because ofhow vast Minecraft is, I was
surprised how little theyactually put into this movie.
Yeah, like they don't like wetalk about I think me and you
have talked about it a lot butit's like they put like in the
game.
There's like a battle arena andmansions.
They do have the mansion in themovie, but there's the wither

(16:08):
and then you said what else isthere?
The end.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
The end, yeah, with the ender dragon.
I mean, when they go to thenether they only touch on
hoglins, which are newer, andthen if they come into contact
with sunlight, they becomepiglins, which are original,
right, you know, and so thoseare, and then they've got ghasts
, and those are kind of thetwo-ish, three-ish things from

(16:32):
the nether, but the nether hasso much, so much more in it.
I think that this movie and thehighest they have is diamond.
So no netherite in the movie,right right.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
I think that they probably only scratched maybe
five percent of minecraft lorein this movie, so there's so
much more that they can do withthis franchise yeah, well,
easily.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, yeah, they definitely could go a lot
farther.
But I think that they alsopulled a little bit from
Minecraft Adventures, becausethe idea of Malgosia, like a
sorceress that's the, the mainvillain Mm-hmm, like that's
straight up from Adventure, yeah, minecraft Adventure, or the

(17:18):
concept of that, you know, likemini bosses, mm-hmm, because in
the original Minecraft you'vegot different bosses I do air
quotes for that.
You can go and fight them, butit's not required, you know.
So you've got the ender dragon,you've got the wither, you've
got the warden, you've got theAncient Guardian, and then

(17:46):
there's one other one that's notbig, but those are kind of the
main bosses you can go fight.
Yeah, but when we were playingMinecraft, what was it called?
Bedrock?
No, no, no no no, I thought youmeant what edition was it?
The team you run throughdifferent levels and fight.
Oh, minecraft Dungeons,minecraft Dungeons, thank you.

(18:11):
Yeah, the idea of like asorceress witch, like Hoglin,
that would be more so alongthose lines Minecraft Dungeons.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
But there's so much they can do.
Yeah, yeah, a lot.
So Steve is now living in theMinecraft world and then he
accidentally opens a portal tothe nether, which is where the
evil sorceress lives with allher pig underlings.
Yeah, and so she wants to go tothe overworld.

(18:43):
Yes, and so a key character goto the overworld.
Yes, and so a key character weleft out, dennis Dennis.
Dennis is Jack Black's dog andessentially Jack Black closes
the portal and then sends.
It didn't make sense how hedidn't close the portal.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
He sent Dennis with the cube no the nether portal.
Yeah, he didn't close.
Sense how he didn't close theportal.
He sent Dennis with the cube nothe nether portal.
Yeah, he didn't close it.
No, Because they run out of itafter Dennis and they start
getting turned.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
That's right, that was why they didn't want to.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah, they start turning into pigmen Right, or
they start getting zombified, asthey say in the movie.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Mm-hmm.
But he runs all the way throughto the normal world normal,
which the reason why jack blackends up in minecraft is he finds
like this uh thing, right, itwas like this artifact, yeah,
that when he put the two piecestogether, opened up a portal to
minecraft.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
I love how your first description is like he finds
this thing like how else wouldyou describe it?
Yeah, well, I mean in the, inthe movie they call it an orb.
An orb, but it was square.
It's a cube.
There's a cube.
He's like where I'm from.
This is a cube, but he's theround one, he's the round one

(20:01):
because everything squares guys.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
So dennis brings the orb to the real world.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yep, and then time passes yeah, he like throws it
underneath steve's bed in hisreal world house and in doing
that the two pieces separate.
There's two pieces there's acrystal and then there's the orb
, and when you put the the orbinside the crystal, it opens,

(20:30):
turns on the portal.
Yeah, and you can go through tothe overworld of minecraft, but
when you separate the two piecesthen the portals shut, shut off
and you can't go over, right?
So when he brings it over, thetwo pieces get separated, the
portal closes and then there'sno way to to get it for the

(20:51):
villain malgosia right.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Then enters our four main characters besides jack
black, yeah, I mean our lovablecharacters.
We can get into deep detailabout how they end up in the
overworld, but through one wayor another they find the orb,
they put it together and thefour main characters go into

(21:13):
Minecraft.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Can I just say the main reason that they end up in
the overworld is because Garrettthe Garbage man, garrison,
really needs money.
Yeah right, that's ultimatelythe driving point.
Jason Momoa's character, jasonMomoa's character his life's
falling apart and he needs cash.
And there's a note with thecube that says by no means put

(21:39):
the crystalline cube together tocome through the portal to the
overworld.
It's too dangerous, even forall the treasure.
That's yeah it was hilariousbrings up that there's a bunch
of treasure and stuff and he'slike, oh, maybe we should yeah,
check it out.
But yeah, that's ultimately whythey end up there.
I also like in the movie thisis a funny little side note how

(22:02):
every 12 minutes it becomesnight.
Yeah, like that's so funny.
Just like the game.
Just like the game.
But like when you really Likein the movie this is a funny
little side note how every 12minutes it becomes night.
Yeah, like that's so funny.
Just like the game.
Just like the game.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
But like when you really think about the concept,
like if we in reality went intoMinecraft just every 12 minutes,
it would be night.
Sun's gone, which would beabsolute nightmare.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, all these monsters come out of nowhere.
They all want to kill you, yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
It's funny.
So they uh go into minecraft.
They end up.
I don't remember how did steveget out of being captured,
that's right.
Um, what's her face?
Center malgosia.
Malgosia sent steve up to theoverworld to get the orb right
Orb of Dominance.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
In exchange she convinces him that she has
Dennis the dog.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
But Dennis, it was in the real world.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah, but yeah, steve didn't know that Dennis was in
the real world and so he, uh,she's like, if you want your dog
back, you gotta go get me theorb of Dominance.
So she sends him back.
And then he's like, if you wantyour dog back, you got to go
get me the orb of dominance.
So she sends him back.
And then he's like I'm notgoing to give it back to her,
but I needed his leverage to getDennis back.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
And so the main characters have it, and so they
are arguing over it and theybreak it.
The crystal part, the crystalpart, not the other part.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Well, I, I don't even think that.
Uh no, I I think it.
They don't necessarily break it.
I think it gets broken and theand the little kerfuffle with
the different monsters the veryfirst night there, right so they
have to then team up to go findanother one which is in a
mansion.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Yes, an abandoned mansion, not an abandoned
mansion.
A woodland man, sorry, awoodland mansion.
Yeah and uh.
This is where the infamous riotscene happens right, let's
start right that is the chickenjockey scene.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Oh, okay, all right, I was.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
I was trying to think like what are you talking about
?
A riot?
In the movie no, this moviecaused, caused riots in the
theaters I don't know why.
I have idea why.
This is the reason why wewaited so long to watch it.
Yeah, because we didn't want togo and be there with a bunch of
kids causing a huge kerfuffle.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah, people setting off fireworks and throwing raw
fish at people.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Whatever they had their hands popcorn chairs,
whatever.
It was ridiculous, ridiculous.
So when we went, the scenehappens where a chicken jockey
shows up, which is a chickenbeing ridden by a miniature
zombie.
Yes, and it just steve goesit's a chicken jockey, which is

(24:59):
a.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
I mean like that's not what they're called in the
actual coding for the game.
That's like a fan thing, right.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, I think so.
Just a jockey Maybe, and forsome reason in the movie itself
it's not that big of a hypemoment, but for some reason
everybody decided that was themoment.
They wanted a riot in thetheaters.
Yeah, that was the big thing.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
They're like oh, this is the whole reason.
I came to see the Marbury andit's not that big of a deal.
But I guess that's just adisconnect for us from what gets
people going, right, you knowit gets the people going.
Yeah, okay, I do have to make ashout out, though, that in the

(25:39):
movie they do a nod to herobrian, or no?
Not hero brian no, techno blade.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Techno blade, which was the guy who unfortunately
passed away.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah, he was a famous minecraft youtuber who passed
away.
They they gave a shout out tohis skin, so Character skin.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah, his character skin is a pig wearing a crown
and in the movie a pig walks bywearing a crown and one of the
characters asks Steve, like whois that?
And he says a legend.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Yo, I'm reading these Easter eggs, eggs and I did not
realize this.
But in the movie, because Isaid hero brian, can you see
here, brian, in the backgroundat some point?
Because when there's thehallucin and jace, the
hallucination, and with theenderman, uh-huh, that scene,
you know how it shows all thedifferent characters and they're

(26:43):
talking about how upset theyare with him or how awful he is
or whatever.
Mm-hmm, all the characters havepurple eyes like an Enderman,
except for, except for.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Steve, because here Brian is just the Steve skin
with white eyes.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
So when Steve pops up to do his like you're awful
it's white eyes instead ofpurple.
Mm Crazy, that's cool insteadof purple Crazy.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
I love it when movies do stuff like that.
Yeah, because I wouldn't havemade that connection because it
is Steve with white eyes.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yep, I'm just looking at a couple of these things
Water bucket clutch, they do dothat when they're falling and
then they use water to cushiontheir fall, to cushion their
fall.
Yep yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
So from the mansion, right?
Yes, they get the crystal, andby that point you're going to
have to say the witch's nameagain, the sorceress Malgosia.
Malgosia has found a way to get.
No, doesn't she get the crystal, and that's how she's able to
invade the overworld.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
She gets the orb of dominance.
She gets the orb of dominance?

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yes, and so they are then attempting to invade the
real world.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
So they're trying to no, they're trying to come into
the overworld to strip it of itsgold.
So it's going to turn into thenether in their quest to get all
the gold out of it.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
So what was their?
That's right.
They were using the orb to thenblock out the sun.
That's right.
That was their main goal.
So they end up fighting, andwe're being very vague because
it's still though we're talkingabout the movie.
It's still worth watching, ifyou haven't seen it yet.
So they get it.
They beat Malgosia the end.

(28:30):
Yeah, I mean, that's a goodsummary of it.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Well, I like what they did, where at the end it's
like they're like okay, let'sall go back to the real world
and take what we've learned andapply it to our lives there and
improve our lives in reality,because everybody in all the
main characters we kind ofglossed over it, but all have

(28:52):
issues like they actually havereal human problems.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yeah, like you said, jason momoa's character is like
about to lose his business andhe has no money and he's trying
to.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
He's very, uh, self-centered and he's like I
want he's there for the moneyand he, I mean I think that it's
less he's self-centered andmore of he puts up a front to be
tough in his mind.
What, what is a macho man?
That's what he's trying toportray.
I don't think it's necessarilythat he's just.

(29:24):
I mean, yeah, he's not, hecan't read a room, but he, you
know, he is somewhat considerateof other people.
It just not very good at it.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Yeah, the young man is very creative, but he has no
real outlet for his creativity.
He has no friends.
He has no friends, has no realoutlet for his creativity, he
has no friends, he has nofriends.
And his sister, who is an adult, who looks like she's younger
than the actress, looks youngerthan the boy.
Yeah, looks like a two-yeardifference, but she's supposed

(29:56):
to be 23, 24 in the movie orsomething like that.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, it was crazy.
She's trying to keep theirfamily together.
Their mom passed away, so she'strying to step into a role of
being a mother and a sister.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Then there is the Dawn.
Dawn, I can't remember A realestate agent.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
She's a real estate agent and she runs a petting zoo
.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
And she learns that she can have a great petting zoo
.
Well, I think that.
I think that her character,though, was there.
I feel like they inserted hercharacter for more comic relief
than actual real development,because I feel like her
character got the least amountof development comparatively.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Yeah, but I think it's more.
I think that she's like aSamwise Gamgee.
What Samwise Gamgee is to Frodo?
I think that she is to Natalieher sister.
Like she's a moral support,like reminding her of what's
going on, helping her growcharacter.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
She embodies the idea of she's not really there to
develop her character.
She embodies the idea.
She's not really there todevelop her character.
Like her character's notdeveloped, she's there to help
develop other characters.
She doesn't have a problem butshe's there.
They do try to insert that.
She has a problem, though, likewhich is I want to open a
petting zoo, like full-time, orsomething like that.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Well, yeah, she doesn't want to do real estate
anymore, but it's not like she'snot confronted with the harsh
reality of, like this is what'swrong with me and how do I deal
with it.
It's not like that.
Like everyone else, right,everyone else is like.
Even Steve Jack Black'scharacter is like, I don't want
to go back to the real world.
It's lame there.
Yeah, I want to stay here andcreate stuff Right there.

(31:46):
Yeah, I want to stay here andcreate stuff, right, so, but
yeah, so at the end of the, atthe end of it, the moral is, you
know, take what you've learnedthrough your creativity of the
game and apply it in the realworld and and be okay with who
your friends are.
You know, like, be yourself,and where your friends end up
coming from is where they're at,you know, and so I think that's
good, especially in today, likedude, gaming has become so

(32:13):
insane, like the differenttechnologies that they're coming
out for the internet in general, but then also in the gaming
world, it's making it very easyfor someone to never leave their
house, and I mean, that's nothow we were created.
You know, god created us to havedominion over all of creation

(32:36):
and to take care of it.
That's Genesis, chapter one,right there.
And so when we neglect ourresponsibility to take care of
the earth, as God set up for usto do that's the first
commandment he gives mankind Tohave dominion over the earth,
populate it and take care of itand when we neglect that, we're

(32:58):
stepping outside of what ouroriginal, a part of what our
original creation was To be thelords and stewards of the earth.
And so, and when you step outof that role, you pass it off to
somebody else.
Who's that somebody else?
It's the devil, you know Satanin the demonic realm.
They're running the show onearth because humanity is

(33:22):
neglecting their responsibility.
And so I like that.
That's what I like at the endof the movie is they bring it
back to like hey, you can havefun in the real world, you can
have relationships, andfriendships in the real world
and you don't need to hide inthis fake world.
Yeah, you don't need to hide inthe fantasy, where anything's

(33:42):
possible.
You can make things possible inthe real world.
I mean, the kid makes a jetpackin the real world.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Which is a bold statement, saying that you can
be in the real world for a moviebased off of a video game.
Yeah, which is like theirselling point of like, come play
our game, but their message isyou don't need to be in our fake
world game, yeah, so what?
What did you think of the movie?

Speaker 2 (34:10):
overall, I enjoyed it .
I think that they did a goodjob yeah, uh.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
So my biggest complaint going before seeing
the movie, based off thetrailers what'd you like about?

Speaker 2 (34:24):
what do you think of the movie?
Well, it was good.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
My biggest complaint is well I want to say this okay,
is that it was doing in thetrailer?
The thing that I felt like itthought its audience was stupid
so it was jack black, callingout every single thing that was
happening on the screen.
Yeah, I hate it when movies dothat because it's over
explaining and it kind of makesyou feel like the creator

(34:48):
doesn't have enough confidencein his audience for them to know
what they're looking at.
Yeah, so it's like, in myopinion, going in was who was
this made for?
Because?
Is it made for the fans?
Because it was?
It was made for the fans, yeah.
Or is it made for people tryingto introduce them to minecraft,
which I don't think that wasthe part of it?

Speaker 2 (35:09):
see, I didn't interpret it that way.
I know that's how you see it,but in my especially watching
the movie oh, that's my.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
That was my point I was going to get into okay, go
ahead.
That doesn't exist.
That's not a problem at all.
In the actual movie it's likeevery moment in the trail where
he calls something out waspretty much spread perfectly
throughout the movie.
It's just.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
It was annoying when it happened back to back to back
in the trailer yeah, it's kindof like a call out, like, look
what we've got in the movie,yeah, for the commercials, but
yeah, in the movie.
Every time that happens to meit's a it's a veteran player
giving a quick rundown of thegame to a new player and rather
than them, because in Minecrafthe was explaining it to the

(35:48):
people there, not to theaudience.
Yeah, and the original way thatMinecraft was set up.
The essence of the game is youhave no idea what is going on.
You literally figure everythingout on your own.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
They added it in later that you could figure out
like you had like all therecipes and just had to find
everything.
Before it was like nothing.
You just like figure it out andeverything was figured out
through community.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
Yeah.
So, like in the original game,you didn't know how to make a
pickaxe, you just had to getrandom materials and start
placing things in your craftingbench and hopefully it did
something.
Yeah, when you find the rightschematic for the crafting bench
, it will show you here's whatyou made.
Then you can craft it.
But now, yeah, they've gotschematics.

(36:34):
It's more user-friendly for ayounger audience.
Yeah, but yeah, in the originalit was very hard to play
because you had to figure it allout and that was kind of the
lure of it, I guess finding outnew things.
Yeah, so yeah for me.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
I really, really, really like the movie, yeah, but
there was no snow golems in it.
So zero out of zero, zero stars, no snow golems.
Like seriously I was.
I really, actually disappointedme about the movie because that
is my favorite uh creature inminecraft.
Yep, it's no golems, no snowgolems at all.

(37:11):
I don't even remember seeingany snow?
Yeah, they never went anywherewith snow.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Yeah, I got really go to a snow biome.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
No, I got really excited because they did like a
pan and they showed a snowballbiome.
Yeah, but they never went there.
Yeah, they never went there.
So it's fine, it's mostly ajoke, but it's like y'all better
put a snow golem in the sequel.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Yeah, I think it's funny, though, at the beginning
of the movie, how one of thefirst builds that Jack Black's
character, steve, does is a woolhouse made out of pink wool,
which is like the hardest sheepto find, right, the pink sheep.
Well, he probably dyed it.
Well, no, I mean, that's justit.
They suggest that becausethere's a pink sheep right at

(37:54):
the portal, that he made anentire house out of wool.
From the sheep, from the sheep.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
Yeah, that's funny and it's like what I wanted to
say real quick.
This movie was made by the sameguy who made Napoleon Bonham,
not made by the same guy whomade Nacho Libre, and just like
those two movies, this movie isincredibly quotable.
It is yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
Jared Hess.
Jared Hess, he also brings totsinto the movie.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Yeah he does, which is funny because I don't know if
he actually did.
I was thinking is that a thinghe does for all his movies?
I don't remember if there wasany tots or not in Nacho Libre.
No, there's no tots in NachoLibre, so it was a callback to
Napoleon Dynamite then, becauseit was a tot shooting gun right
Like it was a little blasterthat shot tots.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Well, yeah, in the beginning she makes him a tater
tot pizza that's right To taketo school.
His sister makes the maincharacter a tater tot pizza to
take to school and he's liketaking it with him and he stops
at that's where he meets JasonMomoa.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
He stops into Jason Momoa's store.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
And he's like and Jason Momoa.
He stops into Jason Momoa'sstore and he's like and Jason
Momoa's character's like takinga Todd pizza to school.
Lame.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
You can just leave it here with me.
Yeah, he starts eating it.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
But yeah, it's some of the leftover tater tots from
that is what he has in hispocket conveniently and he makes
a tot gun, which you can't makein the Minecraft.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
That was like there was a few like Minecraft game
breaking moments Like where,like you wouldn't have done this
in the game yeah, you can't,but it's still fun Like I get.
Maybe that's a call out to mods, possibly.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Maybe Because another thing that I'm pretty confident
in is the shoes of swiftness.
When they put it on the irongolem.
You can't do that.
Make it fast.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
You can't do that in the game so it'd be great if
they added these things in afterthe fact yeah, which I do want
to.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
I do want to say jared has did a good job like
yeah for sure, actuallyconnecting with the audience by
throwing in a ton of minecraftstuff.
You know what I mean.
Like some, some movies todaythat are based off of other
things.
They have like minor thingsthat link it to the original

(40:13):
source material, but it's itsown thing it is the source
material, mostly in name.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
a lot of times, yeah, and it really doesn't actually
follow that.
Monster Hunter did that,resident Evil did that.
There's several video gamemovies where they're just like
how do we do this?
You know and they don't know,but you can tell Jared Hess was
a Minecraft fan.
These movies, when they arebased off of something, are

(40:42):
always the best.
When somebody who knows thesource material and is a fan of
the source material is adaptingit yep, so do you want to guess
what the rotten tomatoes ratingis?
It's high, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (40:54):
it's like um 85 yeah, popcorn meter is 85, but tomato
meter is.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
It's like a 48 is yeah, it's low on well tomato
okay.
So what we're talking about isthe critics scored it a 48,
audience the fans scored it an85.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
I want to know who these critics are, because they
get so much wrong.
Yeah, so many movies wrong.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
I go and I like to look at scores, but I will
reference critics but alwaysgauge the audience yeah.
That's always your best bet,whether or not you're going to
enjoy it.
Like if you're looking at aMarvel movie, critics are
watching a Marvel movie to makemoney.
Audiences are watching a Marvelmovie because they're fans.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
At the end of the day , you are the.
What matters is the fanswatching the movie.
Yeah, so obviously a critic isnot going to understand all the
deep references that Jared Hessput into this movie and the
nostalgia you actually feel fromwatching it yeah, so your
favorite mob did not make itinto this movie and the
nostalgia you actually feel fromwatching it.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Yeah, so your favorite mob did not make it
into the movie.
But what was your favorite mobthat was in the movie.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
So before I really became a fan of Snow Golems, I
was actually a pretty good fanof Creepers.
Okay, I actually really likedCreepers.
Yeah, and I will say for beingthe face of Minecraft, they
weren't really in the movie asmuch Like as an enemy.
They just kind of showed up asalmost a gag a couple of times.
Yeah, like the time.

(42:33):
Whenever was it Jason Momoa'scharacter?
I think he was at night in thewoods and then just the Creeper
kind of sneaks up on him, blowsup.
That was like a goodintroduction.
And then they go through thatcave full of Creepers, his
Creeper farm.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
That's right.
He had a Creeper farm.
Yeah, that's what it was.
Yeah, so they blow up all theCreepers in his Creeper farm?
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Which I mean it was great yeah, which I mean it was
great, yeah, it was great.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
I just feel like that the Creeper was underutilized,
yeah, I just don't know how theycould have used more of it for
the story.
Sure, sure.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Because I guess, just from that point of view, it's
just another mob, A small thingto get in their way when the
main characters are trying toreach their goal.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
Yeah, have you heard any of the like fan fiction
behind the creeper?
As far as, like, what theanatomy is?
no, the religion practiced inminecraft, no world no because
if you go to the desert biomeswith the temples, the creeper is

(43:42):
the image that's on the temples, the creeper face so, and it
pops up in different places, butthe creeper face is like in all
these ancient ruins.
In the game.
I do air quotes yeah, it's thecreeper face that's on all these
ancient architectural ruins andso they they allege that the
creature, the creeper, wasworshipped by this ancient

(44:05):
civilization that no longerexists.
That's in the game.
So when you stumble acrossthese different caches, like a
desert temple or a jungle templeor even the temples in the
ocean that they were actuallyset up.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
So you think that these ancient people?

Speaker 2 (44:24):
worshipped creepers.
That's what.
That's what the fan fiction'salleging, because there's a
depiction of creepers on it Icould see the evidence there
yeah.
So I mean, it's a fun littlething.
It just adds to the lore of thegame.
It's like in in the real world.
Here we see something fromantiquity and all we can do is
speculate.
You know, like we can't.
We weren't there, so we can'treally without a shadow of a

(44:47):
doubt say like this is how it is.
All we have is whateversupporting evidence we can find
to cross reference and thenspeculation you know, so all
right, that's all I've got forMinecraft.
I got one more thing.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
All right, that's all I've got for Minecraft.
I got one more thing.
Okay, oh no, you've defeated me, knife.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Come here.
I've got to tell you something.
Do you have a knife that you'regoing to pull out and stab me?
No, I'm too weak.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
Knife.
Oh, you stopped me but for real.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
Come here and let me tell you a secret.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
Another knife, you are the worst.
That was probably the part that, besides the jeep, grand
cherokee which is what made melaugh was her pretending to be
dying and do like she keptpulling out knives, like you
think it's gonna be areconciling moment for the
villain, and it's not.
She's just she's just bad, likeshe's just literally the worst

(45:42):
and he just like there's likethree moments of where she tries
to stab him with threedifferent knives and he finally
just like I'm gonna have to walkaway.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
Yeah, it's funny uh, yeah, go now.
Dennis changed on Duns, liveDennis.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
La, la, la lava.
Ch-ch-ch-chicken Okay.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
The boys were going around singing that after we
watched the movie for a coupleof days and they were singing it
so much, we went to a familyget-together with all the
cousins Uh-huh, and theyinstigated all the cousins to
sing it with them.
And all the cousins haven'tseen the movie, so they have no
context for what's going on.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
So they're all just running around.
Lava chicken, lava chicken lavachicken.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
Yeah, they're all going around, going la la la
lava chicken oh, steve's lavachicken oh, mama see the lava
steve, lava chicken.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
I don't know, you know that that song was like
considered to be a hit, like atop 100 hit for a little while,
and that's because it's because,okay, jack black now has got
his groove perfectly in syncwith his audience, where all
jack black has to do is sing alittle bit in a movie and it's

(46:58):
going to become a hit yeah, yeah, especially in a children's
movie.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Yeah, ironically, mario brothers has a hit as the
villain, yep.
And then minecraft, the secondhighest grossing video game
movie.
He has another hit with lavachicken hero as lava chicken,
which what's the name?
It's peaches, peaches, peachesfrom Mario Brothers, peaches

(47:23):
from Mario Brothers, yeah.
And then Lava Chicken fromMinecraft, which both songs are
only like 30 seconds long.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
Peaches is a little bit more of a real song, lava
Chicken's more like to me ajingle.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Yeah, truly a jingle.
It would be funny if he cameout with a full song, full
version.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Some fans have tried to like put a full version
together.
Yeah, it's still only like aminute or so, minute 15, because
a lot of the chicken's likemaybe 20 seconds long.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Yeah, yeah, that's funny.
All right, well, that's all wegot, so are we ready to move on
to our secondary topic, our?

Speaker 1 (47:56):
second topic.
We had two main topics.
We had two main topics, sohere's our second one.
Tyler, this is your transitioninto I don't even think we have
a title for this Actors.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
Actor, our favorite actors, yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
In a world.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Where, where we talk about our favorite actors.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
Only one podcast is doing that this week.
Yeah and it's us, it's thesaints that serve, serving you,
a heaping helping of actorsheaping, helping.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
Oh my gosh geez.
All right, so how do you wantto do this?
Do you want to do you do oneand I do one, or do you want to
do all yours and I'll do all?

Speaker 1 (48:39):
mine, let's do a little bit back and forth,
because I feel like we're goingto overlap, okay?
So you know, me and john weretalking about like who's our,
who's your favorite actor?

Speaker 2 (48:49):
you know what I mean yeah john stamos, john no, uh,
david hasselhoff davidhasselhoff.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
No, but yeah it, just it.
It's like there's movies thatyou have that you will watch
based off of it, not because ofthe plot or the director or
anything like that it's I wantto see that movie because blank
is in it, you know.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
So I feel like that happened a lot in the 90s, yeah,
and it might be happened allthe time.
I just feel like I remember it.
So, yeah, like actors who kindof inspired us a little bit, I
guess, yeah, or were in ourlives a little bit more than
others because that, becausethat specific actors in the film

(49:37):
, it gives more credibility andmore desire to be like I want to
go see.
Yeah, I don't know anything elseabout this You're not going to
watch.
Would you watch MissionImpossible 10 if it wasn't Tom
Cruise, I mean?

Speaker 2 (49:49):
I haven't watched it.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Did you watch Okay, better example Did you watch the
fifth Bourne Identity?
Because it was Jeremy Rennerinstead of Matt Damon.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
No, exactly, but I didn't watch any.
I mean Really, I watched thefirst.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
Bourne movie Gotcha, that's it.
They get better over time.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
What you should have said is you should have done
something with Lord of the Ringsand Aragorn.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Well, he was unknown in that at the time.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
Oh, but he did so good I'm saying, if they, they,
because they are okay, so theyare relaunching.
They're coming out with a moviehunt for gollum and they're
like, hey, vigo mortison isgoing to reprise aragorn, are
you gonna go see it?
And I was like, well, I don'tknow anything about the movie
because it's not canon in thebooks or anything, but because

(50:41):
vigo's coming back, yeah, I'mgonna go see it, you know,
whereas if they're like, yeah,we're getting somebody totally
new to play aragorn, you'regonna be like I don't know, I'll
have to wait and see what elsecomes out about it to see if I'm
gonna go see it, you know Iknow I get what you're saying,
but I don't feel like it fullyencompasses the fact that it's a

(51:02):
new film with an actor you like, like a new franchise or
something to that effect.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
Oh dang it, it's raining, oh geez.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Can I just complain for a second?

Speaker 1 (51:20):
Go ahead.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
I do a lot of exterior work for my job.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
And it is awful right now in Georgia.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
The storms that are constantly blowing through.
Okay, like in Florida, it rainsalmost every day and everyone's
used to it.
There's like an afternoonshower and everyone expects it.
Right in georgia, there's rainyseasons and then there's dry

(51:51):
seasons, but this year, I can'teven remember this year where we
have gone longer than a weekwithout rain.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
And it's such a weird thing to say, because it's like
that you do a lot of outsidework, that's how you provide for
your family, but it's also likea blessing because we're not in
a drought.
I mean, yeah, don't get mewrong, and that's not a jab at
you or anything, but it's justlike I get it.
It's like you need to beoutside, you need to not be

(52:22):
raining.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
Yeah, dude, it's just it feeds the conspiracy theory
side of me, because everyone inthe conspiracy camps were
talking about cloud seeding andstorm control when the hurricane
blew through North Carolinalast year.
And so here we are this year,in 2025, and just the sheer

(52:44):
amount of storms that areconstantly bombarding us.
I'm like, dude, like how are it?
Cause you know, there'swildfires popping up on the West
side of the well.
There were wildfires towardsthe beginning of this year
popping up on the West side ofour country and then they burned
.
I mean, los Angeles pretty muchgot burned to the ground at one

(53:07):
point, and now there's all theriots and people are setting
fires for the riots and stuff,and it's like it's so dry over
there.
Why can't some of this rain goover to the west coast and we
just keep on getting bombardedwith it?
So I'm like, are theycontrolling the weather?
Are they trying to make surethat rain stays away from one
area and is so they're justshoving it all to another area.

(53:29):
You know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
That's weird and that's your mini cryptid corner
yeah, the corner.
Yeah, all right, let's get backinto so what I was saying
before we got interrupted bywater from the sky.
Later on next month, fire inthe sky, but that's, that's
different later on this month,you mean next month, that's what
I said later on next month,okay.

(53:52):
So you compared it, that itwould be another movie in that
franchise with the actorreprising his character years
down the line.
But in this particularsituation it is a new movie with
an actor you are familiar with.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Okay, I'm not seeing the difference from the examples
you gave and the examples.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
Okay, so Tom Cruise is in a new movie you've never
heard of.
You're familiar with Tom Cruise.
It is not a sequel, it's just abrand new movie.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
People are going to go see that movie not for the
plot, but for Tom Cruise.
I keep using Tom Cruise becausehe's not on my list.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
Yeah, yeah, because everybody loves Top Gun and
everybody loves MissionImpossible.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
And everybody loves Tropic Thunder.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
Tropic.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Thunder is a pretty funny movie.
It is pretty funny and it isfunny that Tom Cruise is in it
and you don't realize that it'sTom.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
Cruise, yeah.
So anyways, what's your firstactor?

Speaker 2 (54:54):
none of these guys are in any particular order.
It's not like my most favoriteto least favorite.
That's how my list is okay.
I think they're all prettysolid guys and because they're
in movies I'm willing to give ita chance.
So my first one I'm gonna gowith is brendan frazier.
Brendan frazier because he isin a lot of pretty funny good

(55:15):
movies.
Obviously the best is the mummythe's, eh, but one and two are
solid.

Speaker 1 (55:25):
I've considered putting Brendan Fraser on my
list, but at the end of the day,the only movie I could really
always refer back to in my mindfor for him is the Mummy.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
He's also in George of the Jungle.
I know he's in other stuffGeorge of the Jungle, looney
Tunes, back in Action but I justyou know those aren't movie the
jungle.
I know he's in other stuffgeorge of the jungle, uh, looney
tunes, back in action but Ijust you know those aren't movie
.
Besides the mummy, I don't feellike I've watched a whole lot
of brendan fraser movies.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
Yeah, yeah, he's in um.
Actually it's a prettyinteresting concept.
He's in a movie blast to thepast where he is born inside a
bomb shelter.
His dad's a prepper in like the60s and they think that a
nuclear warhead goes off and sothey rush down to their bunker

(56:13):
that he's been prepping and it'slike he's prepped it to where
they can live down there fordecades until there's no more
nuclear fallout and basicallywhat happens is he's born the
night they go down in there.
He grows up in the bomb shelter, so he's stuck in the 60s

(56:34):
because that's all his parentshad and geez.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
That rain is really coming down right now.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Yeah, this is some solid stuff.
I wonder if you can hear it inthe mics.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
I heard some popping when it lightened, so there
might be something in therecording.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
There you go, anyways , but yeah, so he's blasted the
past.
He's basically a 20-year-oldwho his only concept of-.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
Is 1960s and.
I'm assuming it's and he goesinto the 80s is okay, yep, which
is not that far of a difference.
It's like saying that you havesomebody who has 2000 culture
and then comparing that to now.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
Same situation, you know yeah, but it I mean when
they do the movie.
It is pretty interesting to seelike how crazy different it is.
Yeah, of 20 years, and I meanwe grow.
I mean, yeah, we experiencedthe year 2000 and we're here
today and it's like we canrelate back to the iconic stuff
from back then.

(57:37):
But because we're living in thenow, we don't realize how much
of a culture shock it is to goone day you're in the year 2000
to the next day you're in 2025.
You know Mm-hmm, so anyways,yeah, so there's a couple ones.
Inkheart, he's also in that.

(57:57):
Yeah, I like Inkheart.
Yeah, I really love that bookseries.
Yeah, so he's.
Yeah, I think he's a prettygood actor.
I really liked his older stuffbecause he always did all of his
own stunts.
And I don't know why, but to meI was like that's really cool.
Yeah, you know that.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
We went and saw real quick side tangent on stunts.
Me and Asher went and saw thenew John Wick movie Uh-huh on
stunts.
Me and asha went and saw thenew john wick movie uh-huh, and
it is such a stark differencewith keanu reeves in the other
john wick movies doing his ownstunts to this young woman who
obviously isn't yeah.

(58:34):
So this is like it's.
Movies are pretty good when youhave your actor on screen doing
their stunts as the actor.
Yeah.
So I mean john, I mean not johnwick uh, keanu reeves.
Like he trained like, yeah,with military training to know
how to utilize guns on thescreen for this movie, like you

(58:57):
know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
Like I mean the fighting technique he uses in
the movies is one that hecreated himself.
Yeah, and based off of what helearned yeah, based off what he
learned, he just incorporatedclose combat with using a
sidearm and and created, yeah,his own technique which is.

Speaker 1 (59:15):
That's pretty cool so anyway, side tangent over there
you go.
All right, what's yours, jimcarrey?
Jim carrey like come on, youhave the mask.
Ace ventura, pet detective, petdetective, uh, dumb and dumber,
liar, liar, the truman show.
Like you start naming all thesemovies, and all of them are

(59:35):
great movies I watched a shortreel.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
It was a guy.
He's like someone who startedthe Truman Show late.
He's like watching like a videoof a baby and he's on the phone
with a friend.
He's like when does it get?

Speaker 1 (59:50):
good, skip ahead of like six seasons and it'll get
good, skip ahead 10 years.
You're like, oh okay, thatmovie's concept is wild.
Yeah, Like I see stuff all thetime still videos like things
you didn't notice.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, Stuff like that.
I'm going to go home and watchTruman Show.

(01:00:12):
I love that movie.

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
Yeah, man, jim Carrey is pretty.
He's good at acting, he's agood actor.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
The Grinch, the Grinch yeah, like he has his
rubber face.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, and that's whatmakes him really stand out is
how he utilizes his face.
That's like not made of rubber,but sure does look like it when
he moves it around.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
Yeah, yeah, I'm surprised he's not in a
superhero movie.
I feel like he would be.

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
He is, but I'm not going to say the title of it.
Oh, kick Butt.
Oh, he's in the second KickButt movie.
Oh he is.
Yeah, oh, I didn't realize that.
There you go.
But he didn't have anysuperpower in that.
But that was more likeeverybody's Batman type
character.
They're all vigilantes.
Yeah, more like everybody'sBatman type character.

(01:01:03):
They're all vigilantes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
Good movie, but I'm not going to say the title.
Yeah, yeah, I got you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
The what was the other one?
I guess, if you considermagicians, superheroes, he was
in the Incredible BurtWonderstone.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
I'm just thinking more of the An actual superhero.
Yeah, the DC version of MrFantastic, which I can't
remember.

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
He was in a superhero movie.
He was a villain.
I don't know why I forgot aboutit.
He was the Riddler, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
He was that's funny and he did an all right job.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
You know Mm-hmm.
He did fantastic for what hewas given with that movie.
Yeah, let's be honest.
Yeah, you had those two TimBurton Batman movies in the 90s,
yeah, and they were great.
And then Joel Schumacher tookit over and made it neon and
colorful, mm-hmm, and thoseactors did their best.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
Yeah, which, surprisingly for a Tim Burton
film, there was no Johnny Depp.
Or what's the chick's name?
The chick Johnny Depp?
Helena Bonham Carter?
Yeah, isn't it funny.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
Yeah well, tim Burton's married to Helena
Bonham Carter.
She's the female version ofJohnny.
She's the female version ofJohnny Depp.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
But neither of them made it into the movie.
It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Batman movies I think that was a later on thing, I
guess that's true Like wheneverthey started being in everything
together.

Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
Yeah.
So, All right, cool.
So what's your next one?
I've got on the list, melGibson.

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
I really feel like that we're going down two
different paths here, where mineis mostly comedy, yeah, and
yours is mostly action.

Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
Don't get me wrong, I like comedy and I was thinking
in this as like who's a goodcomedy actor that I like?
But I couldn't think ofanything when I was thinking of
the list.
So I guess my mind is just inaction because I mean, you know,
half the stuff that brendanfrazier's in is not action, yeah
, or or adventure it, but thefew things that I see him in a

(01:03:02):
lot I really like he's reallygood.
But anyways, mel Gibson he dida really good job in the Patriot
and Braveheart.
Those kind of came out closetogether somewhat In his younger
years.
Lethal Weapon yeah, he did areally good job with those
movies and he was like morecharismatic in those movies.

(01:03:23):
His characterapon yeah, he dida really good job with those
movies and he was like morecharismatic in those movies.
His character was, whereas in,you know, like Braveheart and
the Patriot, his character ismore down to earth, you know,
just trying to get through lifekind of deal.
So he's got a little bit of arange.

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
Then he played Jesus.
He didn't play Jesus.
I know so.
I got a funny story of a range.
Then he played jesus he didn'tplay, I know so.
I got a funny story.
That's the reason why I didjesus.
He directed jesus.
So whenever the passion tochrist came out, yeah I didn't
know who mel gibson was, becauseI obviously didn't keep up with
action movies like I did comedymovies growing up.
Yeah, so I saw that movie andjust remember seeing Mel

(01:04:02):
Gibson's name all over it and Ijust assumed that the guy who
played Jesus was Mel Gibsonbecause his name was all over
that film.

Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
Yeah, yeah, so that was funny to me.
I thought about putting himdown.
Jim Caviehl, the actor whoplays Jesus Christ, but I've
really only seen him in that.
I've seen him in the Count ofMonte Cristo.
And then there's one other filmthat we talked about when we
talked about Vikings theOutlander.

Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
So would you say that's one of your honorable
mentions?

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
I don't know if I'd put him in honorable mentions
just because I mean he's a goodactor, but I haven't seen him in
enough to be like, oh yeah,it's a good actor, but I haven't
seen him in enough to be like,oh yeah, it's a cavile.

Speaker 1 (01:04:45):
So I'm going to go check it out.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Yeah, but Mel Gibson one of our favorite movies
Pocahontas.

Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
That's right, he's John Smith, isn't he?
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
That was a joke.
For those of you who didn'tpick up on it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
Pocahontas is not our favorite movie, but no, but I
know who you're talking about.
Like it's one of those thingswhere it's like I know that he's
in that, but it's like one ofthose like tidbits of knowledge
that I can't just call out frommemory of like yeah, john Mel
Gibson is John Smith, you know,like a huge name playing this
main character that you can'ttell yeah, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
What's your number two jack?

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
black all right all right like there's gonna be any
other jack paws like jack.
Who?
Which jack could it be?

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
it's jack nicholson yeah, man, you got all the good
ones.
You got hard rock or rock,school of rock, anything.
I'm like, come on what?

Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
oh wreck that one school of rock uh, tenacious d
and the pick of destiny I neverwatched that, that's that's I
couldn't, I don't know, Icouldn't I wouldn't watch it now
but as as a teenager, that wasone of my favorite jack black
movies.
Yeah uh, nacho Libre, kung FuPanda yeah yeah, house with the
Clock in the Walls Like, yeah,anybody.

(01:06:09):
Actually that movie wasn't good.
That was a joke, I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
Bowser for the Mario Brothers Bowser Mario Brothers
movie.
What's the one where it's likebird watching?

Speaker 1 (01:06:18):
Oh man, I know what you're talking about, because
Owen Wilson is in that as well.
We keep on bringing Owen Wilsonup.
Mel Owen Wilson is in thismovie.

Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
Oh man, Because I think it has Steve Martin in it
too Mm-hmm, doesn't it?

Speaker 1 (01:06:33):
Owen Wilson, steve Martin and Jack Black in this
about birdwatching, and for thelaugh of me, I want to remember
it without looking it up, butit's like watching, or something
like that.

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
Yeah, I'm trying to see if I can pull it up.
Anyways, what are some otherJack Black movies?

Speaker 1 (01:06:51):
Big Year.
Big Year, that's what it'scalled.
Big Year.
I'm blanking for some reasonright now, but he's in so much
good stuff.
What's that movie where he'sthe mortician?
I don't know, bernie, bernie,have you ever seen Bernie?
No, all right, it's got JackBlack and Matthew McConaughey in
it and Jack Black plays afuneral home mortician who is

(01:07:13):
just like the greatest guy ever.
Okay, just the best guy ever,yeah, ever, yeah.
And this like little old ladytakes advantage of that and
starts kind of making him do allthis stuff for free around her,
her house and whatnot yeah andhe ends up killing her.
He shoots her in the back of thehead with a bb gun several

(01:07:35):
times until she dies, oh my gosh.
And so the rest of the movie ishim dealing with the fact that
he killed somebody.
Essentially, he sees Red andblacks out and just starts
pulling the trigger on this BBgun.
Jeez, and because she's littleand old, yeah, it's a really
good movie.

Speaker 2 (01:07:53):
Do you feel like Zach Galifianakis is a B Jack Black?

Speaker 1 (01:07:59):
B Jack Black B version off-brand To a degree, I
feel like he's kind of made aname for himself now a little
bit more, but I think wheneverhe first started acting I would
have 100% said yes in hisearlier stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
But I think he's become his own thing because
he's lost weight.

Speaker 1 (01:08:20):
Oh, really, yeah, Okay, he's Jumba in the
live-action Lilo and Stitch ohyeah, I haven't.

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):
I still haven't seen it yet uh, it's, it's pretty
good, it's okay I've beenhearing that it's not like it's
okay, but they don't like thechanges that have been made.
So, oh yeah, jumanji, jack waxand jumanji that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
Forgot about that.
Jumanji one and two.
He did the Goosebumps.
That's right, he was inGoosebumps.
He was RL Stein in that.
Yep, another childhoodnostalgic thing, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
I've got different movies pulled up.
I'm trying to look at ones thatI would actually know he's in
Tropic Thunder.
Tropic Thunder, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
Year One.
Do you remember that movie?
Yeah, it was a movie about thefirst year of Earth.

Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
Yeah, very sacrilegious.

Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
Yeah, what was that one where it was like was it
Jack Black was upside down andhe had to go to the bathroom,
but he was in the dungeon beinghung upside down where Michael
Cera was being hung up normally,or was it vice versa?
But either way, one of them hadto pee, so they peed and it
just run it down his face.
I don't remember that was.

Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
That movie was funny, that's funny, I forgot about
this till just now.
King Kong, that's right, he'sthe director.

Speaker 1 (01:09:44):
Not of King Kong, the director that's in the movie
King Kong.

Speaker 2 (01:09:48):
Yeah, yeah, jack Black also.
He makes an appearance on thecommunity TV show, does he yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
And it's so funny he's also in the Office.
He makes a cameo in the Officeas well.

Speaker 2 (01:09:59):
Oh, he does.

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
Yeah, I can't remember, I'll tell you later.
Okay, all right, it's notappropriate for this podcast.
This cameo, yeah, all right,cool.
So what's your next one?
Jason momoa, jason momoa.
Ironically, another action,another.
I feel like all these actorshave probably known each other
at one point or another.

Speaker 2 (01:10:19):
yeah, uh, but yeah, he's also in the minecraft movie
, but, uh, he also is instargate, stargate, yep, that
was one of the first things Isaw him in, and then of course,
your favorite thing.

Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
he's in Game of Thrones.
I have not watched that.
He's just in one season.
Yeah, the first season.

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
I haven't watched it, but I hear he did good.
I guess he did good.
I watched one of the earliermovies that I saw him in.
That wasn't a TV show was Conanthe Barbarian.
Came out in 2011.

Speaker 1 (01:10:53):
That was show.
Was conan.

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
The barbarian came out in 2011 was him wasn't it
the live, uh, not live action,just the remake of conan the
barbarian.
Yeah, so that was all right.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
And then I uh aquaman , aquaman, he's not number two
number one was good.

Speaker 2 (01:11:07):
Number one was good.
Number two is okay dune, he'sin the first.
Yeah dune, he's's in the firstDune.

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
Yeah, Dune.
He's in just the first Dune.

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
Yeah, I had to think about it.
And then he's in the Fast andthe Furious yes, sagas, but only
towards the end.
But they throw him in to saylike hey, he was in Fast Five,
he wasn't.

Speaker 1 (01:11:26):
They do that all the time, especially in the Fast and
Furious.
It's like I was there the wholetime.
No, you weren't.
I know how movies were made.

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
They're trying to intertwine him into something
and he wasn't there in the past,so he's in a good amount of
stuff.
There's something coming outthis year that he's in that I'm
actually interested in watchingwhat's that.
It's called Chief of War andit's an Apple.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
TV series.
He's also in Sea.

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
Have you seen Sea?
I've seen stuff for it.
I haven't watched it.
That's also on Apple.
On Apple, yeah, but with Chiefof War.
The concept is it's I don'tknow if he's playing King
Kamehameha, but he's playing aHawaiian chieftain during the
tribal wars between thedifferent islands, and it's the
unification of the differenttribes and islands, which is

(01:12:17):
what King Kamehameha is knownfor.
He unifies all the Hawaiianislands through conquest and
creates the kingdom of Hawaii.
So I would be interested to seeif that's what this is.
Is that he's portraying kingkamehameha the first?
But yeah, that seems prettycool.
Anyways, what's yours, numberthree?

Speaker 1 (01:12:38):
will ferrell, will ferrell, will ferrell I love
will ferrell movies.

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
Yeah, they're funny.
I don't know what it is aboutwill ferrell.

Speaker 1 (01:12:46):
He's the same he's.
He's got that whatever jimcarrey has, where he knows
exactly what he has, and itworks every single time, and
it's very rare that he doesn'tessentially play himself in a
movie.
Yeah, and we love him for it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:02):
Yeah, I think that duane johnson does it as well
yeah but I'm kind of gettingtired of it yeah, yeah, I think
that will ferrell and adamsandler.
They know their niche and theystay in their niche and that's
why they've done so well elf,anchorman, talladega knights,

(01:13:23):
old school step brothersbewitched.

Speaker 1 (01:13:28):
Which one of these movies is worse than the others?

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
I don't think.

Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
I've seen Bewitched.
Bewitched was like the remakeof the TV show.
There was a TV show in the 60s70s called Bewitched, yeah, and
it was kind of like, hey,bewitched was a TV show, but the
witch from it was real orsomething.
It was a joke.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
Megamind, megamind, daddy's Home, daddy's Home.

Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
Kicking and Screaming .

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
Kicking and Screaming yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
What's the one where he gets kicked out of his house
and now he has to live on hisfront yard.
Everything Must Go.
I've never seen that one.
It's depressing.
It was Will Ferrell attemptingto be a serious actor.

Speaker 2 (01:14:11):
Oh, okay, don't you to me like.
When comedians do that most ofthe time it does not go well.

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
Jim Carrey did it in two movies.
I can call out and they bothwere pretty good the number 23,.
And then I'm going to say itwrong, but the Eternal Sunshine
of a Spotless mind.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
I've seen number 23 and I couldn't get behind it
because the concept is like it'sa guy who's mentally losing it
and becoming psychotic and youknow you're supposed to get
through that suspense,thriller-esque.
But because it was Jim Carreyyou couldn't look past it
Because of Jim Carrey's iconiclook.

(01:14:54):
Yeah, yeah, you couldn't getpast it, any kind of facial
expression.

Speaker 1 (01:14:59):
I was like hmm, Because you're just in the movie
theater in a very seriousmoment and you're just like ha

Henry Cavill, a more modern DC actor.

Speaker 2 (01:15:33):
Yeah, the younger.
Well, he's not really young, Ithink he's in his 40s, but I
guess a younger face than allthe other ones that I've brought
up, but he's I mean almosteverything that I've seen him in
I've liked, so obviously youknow he was man of steel.
I feel like he's been the bestsuperman I've ever seen yeah, I

(01:15:55):
don't know, I'm, I'm.
I think this new movie is gonnabe really good maybe I don't
know, but I think he portrayssuperman well, yeah, and I think
it stirs from his devotion tojust he's a nerd, yeah, he's a
nerd, and so he's like I want todo right by the character
that's been developed, not likeI want to come in and do my own

(01:16:17):

He's in that I like the movieimmortals.

Okay, honestly, there wouldn'tbe Regal Shenanigans without
Kenyon Thompson or Home Videoswithout Kenyon Thompson.
Yeah, this podcast probablywould not exist if it wasn't for
me watching Kenyon ThompsonOkay, because of that like
butterfly effect of beinginspired to be on camera or
