F1: The Movie

Brad Pitt roars back to the screen in a high-octane thrill ride that proves age is just a number when passion drives you forward. As veteran racer Sonny Hayes, Pitt brings a magnetic charisma to a character whose superstitious quirks – including his refusal to touch winning trophies – hint at a complicated past filled with triumph and regret.

When struggling team owner Ruben Cervantes (perfectly cast Javier Bardem) recruits Sonny to mentor rising star Joshua Pierce (Damson Idris), the stage is set for a classic tale of redemption that transcends typical sports movie formulas. Their chemistry crackles with authentic tension – the seasoned veteran who races for the pure art of it versus the young hotshot chasing fame and fortune. What begins as rivalry gradually transforms into mutual respect through white-knuckle racing sequences that put viewers directly into the driver's seat.

Director Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) brings his technical mastery to the world of Formula 1, creating racing sequences that feel heart-stoppingly real. The camera work deserves special mention – innovative angles and drone shots capture the visceral thrill of racing at 200 MPH. Hans Zimmer's score perfectly complements these moments, building tension and emotional resonance throughout the 2.5-hour journey. While some subplots could have been trimmed, the core relationship between Sonny and Pierce provides the emotional engine that powers this film to its satisfying conclusion.

For racing enthusiasts, F1 delivers authentic details and cameos from real drivers that enhance the experience. Yet it remains accessible to newcomers, explaining the sport's complexities without patronizing its audience. Beyond the spectacular racing sequences lies a universal story about finding purpose, mentoring the next generation, and pursuing excellence for its own sake rather than glory. Don't miss this pulse-pounding celebration of second chances and the relentless pursuit of perfection – experience F1 in IMAX for the full immersive journey.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
excuse me, is anybody sitting here?
Sorry, this is taken.
Sorry, you know what?
I've been stuck binge watchingthis whole entire weekend.
What's that?
um, the bear on hulu yes, seasonfour season four just came out,
but I I'm behind.
I'm literally in the middle ofseason two right now and I'm
trying to catch up in time.
This show is so addicting,brandon, like I cannot stop

(00:29):
watching it.
It's so good.
I mean, if I I just try lookingright now when you join the
zoom uh, you call me.
I was looking up the bear thatthe actress, ayo I don't even
know how to say her name, ayo uh, in barbary, I don't know how
to say her last name.
I'm obsessed with her.
I love her in everything shedoes, everything she touches.
She's a producer now.
I have a huge crush on her.
She's our age too.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, no, she's fantastic.
She's got that quirky.
Like Bob, you want to hang outwith her, but for me she
stresses me out.
But I love her anyway.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
She's on TikTok too.
She only has one up there rightnow, but she must have deleted
all her other ones because she'sbeen on it for a while.
She's so funny, she seems sorelatable.
And to think that, like we, shewas supposed to be the mcu by
now.
Did you know that?
No, no, what was she supposedto be?
She was supposed to be in thethunderbolts.
She was supposed to be the.
Uh.
Julia ladroff is uh assistant,okay, but then the actor strike

(01:22):
happened and it kind of pushedback her schedule and she
couldn't do it then.
So she was going to be in there.
Well, she's blowing up too,like she's literally everywhere
now, yeah, yeah.
So I mean, do you think shewould have done good in that
role as the assistant in theThunderbolts?

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Listen.
I think she'd be great inanything she does.
For that one she's too big of astar like you need someone who
can kind of fade into thebackground like character actor
type.
I think she would have, in agood way, stole every scene I
100 agree with that.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
She's she.
They could find her better rolefor her in the mcu.
I would like to see you in themcu.
Maybe I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I honestly see her more of a dc role kind of person
though yeah, I well, if shedoes like mcu, I kind of see her
voice acting like obviously shedid really good at inside out,
um.
So I think that there's herlike you can kind of find her in
a guardians of the galaxy typemovie I'm trying to think of any
voice acting thing that mightbe coming up soon.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Um, I don't think they have anything going on mcu.
Maybe she can be, please.
Oh god, this is another one Iwanted to bring up on the
podcast.
Um, I hope she does not joinironheart.
Have you started watching thatshow?
No, I'm going to.
I have hot takes on that.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
I want her in a full movie, like she deserves.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
I have.
I'm in the middle of the thirdepisode, because the first three
episodes are out right now.
It's not for me, man.
It is not for me.
It is getting a lot of hate.
Honestly, it's mostly the actor, the villain.
I can't remember his name.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
He was in transformers, um it's not to be
from hamilton, right?

Speaker 1 (02:53):
yeah, yeah, I just hate him, I just don't like him.
I just don't like him inanything he does.
Oh, my god, yeah, he's sodistracting to me and everything
like in a bad way, almost like,and he's like the villain in
this one.
I don't know if he's thevillain, yet he's a character in
there and I just the wholestoryline okay.

(03:15):
The only reason I'm giving itthe chance is because ryan
cuckoo is attached to it as aproducer, um, and he even stated
, said like this is gonna leaddirectly into doomsday.
I'm not complaining about theproduction or anything like that
, I'm mostly hating just thestory itself.
Like it's kind of boring anddistracting not distracting, but
like off-putting, like why dowe care about some of this stuff

(03:35):
?

Speaker 2 (03:35):
you know, like she was by far my least favorite
part of wakanda forever.
Um, like I like that.
I understand what they weretrying to do.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
It just didn't necessarily there was nothing in
there that said I need to see atv series after this and well,
the cool thing, it's based inchicago, south side chicago so I
mean we're seeing a lot oflandmarks that mean you would be
familiar with um, but then someof it's like almost like the
one of the points in the secondepisode is like chicago's

(04:04):
building, almost like anunderground city Not city, but
like roads for people to crossthrough easily.
It looks very much like Wakandaunderground.
I was like there's no wayChicago's going to do this.
It's ridiculous with some ofthe plot points and her motives
and she makes her own suit andAI is her best friend that
passed away, and so she'sdealing with trying to get over
her friend that passed away.
And it's exactly so.

(04:25):
She's dealing with like tryingto get over a friend too.
I was like trauma, yeah, I waslike well, we already covered
the trauma part in Wakanda too.
I mean like give me somethinginspiring.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Trauma is a journey.
You know, I guess my wholething is for the culture.
I'm going to watch it.
Right, I'm going in happythere's unhappy.
There's a lot of haters outthere who are hating it for the
wrong reasons.
So I'm gonna give it a try.
I just don't as a as a marvelfan.
It didn't scream um watch onfirst day to me yeah, I think
there's only six episodes.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
The first three came out already.
I think the second three arecoming out already next week,
okay, so?

Speaker 2 (04:59):
it's easily bingeable .

Speaker 1 (04:59):
That's good though yeah, yeah, um, it just doesn't
scream original to me like thestory plot, plot points are just
very cliche.
I feel like it's kind of weirdbecause I think there are I saw
a couple um conspiracy theoriesthat they're gonna bleed out to
mephesto and there are hints ofit so far that's been the cat

(05:21):
like fan theory sinceandaVision.
Yeah, but this one's more likely.
There's definitely someone acape that he was stole from a
demon.
All things are pointing toMephisto.
There's a lot of MCU references, though, in this movie, in this
show.
This is what I like about it alot, but anyone listening, if
you want to watch Ironheart, Iwould probably say watch the

(05:42):
Bear instead.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
The Bear is easy, it's, the bear is also inspiring
, not in there, the literal,probably best show on tv right
now.
They're both in chicago.
Oh my goodness, that's actuallycrazy.
Everybody was saying, speakingof fan cast, and jeremy, uh,
alan white, like, uh, they werefloating the idea for him for
Wolverine, which was kind ofhilarious to me.
He's got that short angry vibegoing, but I think that might be
a little bit outside his rangestill if you, if man maybe more

(06:19):
Cyclops than Wolverine oh ew, Ineed him like I think I need
somebody a little bit more puttogether for my cyclops.
Who is that.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Who is that?
Um actor banshee, the one whoscreams?
Maybe, yeah, maybe I don't know, I don't know we'll do an
episode of fan casting x-men oneday.
Yeah, that'll be pretty cool.
Um man, this has been a crazyweek for movies, like um we, but
we're going to talk about f1,this episode.
I'm excited to bring that back,um, but there's also several.

(06:49):
Did you, did you watch elio?
No, no, the new pixar one, thenew pixar one?
I haven't.
It's well.
First of all, it's floppinghard right now.
Yeah, definitely gonna give it awatch, mostly because I heard
that they brought back thedisney pixar bloopers at the end
of the movie, like how theyused to do in the early 2000s,
so I'm excited for that.
There's a new movie called likebride wars or something like

(07:13):
that, with um what's that?
yeah, it's perfect wilson rebelwilson, not rebel wilson.
Yeah, yeah, rebel wilson.
Um, I'm gonna go see thattomorrow.
I'm still trying to see, 28years later, um, what else is
coming out.
Um, I saw megan 2.0 watch.
I'll tell you about in a minute.
Um, it's, it's, it's picking up, it's picking up.

(07:34):
I'm glad we're getting likethree or four yeah, similar.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
I already have like my next five movie tickets
bought.
I think I'm also going to seerebel on monday, but then I'm
doing it early screening ofjurassic world, just a day early
, nothing crazy.
And then of course I got thatearly screening of superman
coming up, so like it's just allstacking up for me let's talk
about that, because I wanted tobring up on the podcast, okay.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
So f1 came out official release dates on friday
.
As everyone knows especially ifyou're a lister they always do
early preview nights on aThursday.
Well, this week, for whateverreason, they decided to do an
early preview preview night on aWednesday and I saw an AMC
wanted to go buy my ticket.
I was like, is that a mistake?
Like I thought maybe it was aprivate screening or something.

(08:17):
But no, I bought my ticket fora Wednesday and you, you also
bought on Wednesday.
I know you also mentioned howyou're gonna go see it on, I
think, on Wednesday too, forSuperman.
I do not like this.
I do not like that they'reshowing it so, so early.
I was like, where do we drawthe line?
Where?
Why are we showing it thisearly?

Speaker 2 (08:35):
I, I'm very similar.
I like it, um, but I only likeit for special events like I
don't even know, I just I likeit for like long weekends, like
funny enough, even the JurassicWorld.
Like obviously Thursday orFriday is going to be 4th of
July, so Thursday is going to bea little great.
I can.
I can buy the excuse of givingit Wednesday.
They do that for Thanksgiving,memorial Day, like stuff like
that.
This random.

(08:56):
Like I'm with you, it's alreadyhard enough to avoid spoilers.
I'm trying to avoid like morelike leaks coming out every
second.
So people who are watching ittuesday, wednesday, that's just
makes my life way more stressful.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Keep it on the original thursday release and
I'm also thinking like that'skind of cheating in the box
office too, like for openingweekend you know, because you
have a whole extra day well, Ithink, like the, I would assume
the logic behind it is let's say, you and I go on wednesday, we
were obviously going to becounted in that thursday group

(09:27):
anyway, right?

Speaker 2 (09:29):
so I don't know if they're getting like you get
multiple chances at that, Iguess but maybe.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
But I went to go.
I think there was only oneshowing.
I'll give them that like itwasn't like on the whole thing
thing.
There's only one showing at 7pm.
That's near me at least, um,but it was packed.
I've seen it in imax and therewas a lot of people there.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
I mean, that's that's definitely like another,
probably 100 grand right there,like uh and you know already
talking about it, you alreadysee the the boost that it gets,
because I didn't even thinkabout this.
They did what?
144 million opening, you know,one of the highest, like uh,
opening weekends for an originalmovie in a long, a long time.
So it didn't really do that.

(10:06):
Or did they get that littlewednesday boost in there now
you're?

Speaker 1 (10:09):
now you're uh getting a little bit behind the scenes
there yeah, I mean I wouldn'tsay like the best opening
weekend this year, I meansinners is probably still the
best one, I think.
Um, I don't.
I think something did beat itrecently.
I can't remember what it waswhat did, did Sinners do?

Speaker 2 (10:23):
opening weekend.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Off the top of my head, I don't know, but I would
say Sinners.
I'll predict Sinners isprobably the top four of the
year.
It's going to have the bestopening weekends, Speaking of
which.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Specifically with these originals, because
obviously these multi-moviefranchises have a little bit of
a leg up, but like a trueoriginal it's pretty pretty, uh
pretty fantastic to see like Isnuck in fantastic there.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Uh, we're gonna be also doing a draft of the second
half of this episode.
We're gonna be doing the best.
Our predictions for the bestopening weekends for the
remaining movies of the secondhalf of the year and, um, for
the fun of it, we'll probably dothe ones that we predict are
going to flop as well.
At least I have one.
Do you have one for that, louis, for that?

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, I got my big three.
I got my big three, ooh, I gotmore than three.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
I'm such a hater.
I'm a hater.
But we're going to talk aboutF1 of this movie.
First of all, the marketing forthis movie was pretty great.
I mean it's.
I loved it.
Did you see the popcorn bucketsfor this movie?

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah, the helmets, badass.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
It looked very similar to the Captain America
one, the aviator helmet, almostJust different black and gold.
Basically they were very cool,but they were kind of tiny.
I wish they were a little bitbigger.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
They, um, they were very cool, but they were kind of
tiny.
I was a little bit bigger.
They were very small, um, butthey they're gonna look great
together on a shelf like theright next to each other yeah,
also megan 2.0 had a popcornbucket come out this week too.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Have you seen those?
Those look creepy no, is it.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Is it a megan?

Speaker 1 (11:57):
doll, it's a megan's head, and also the face is
removable too, so you can seelike the mechanics underneath
her face.
Oh, I hate that with everythingin me.
It was like it was bigger thanthe f1, like the helmet.
It was bigger than that.
I was like it was.
And then you just open up thetop of her head like a popcorn
bucket.
It was so ugly I.
Well, before we get an f1, I'lltell you about megan 2.

(12:17):
You, it's a good, as you expectit to be from being a sequel to
megan one.
The first one is a little bitbetter because it makes more
sense.
Uh, because, like it's an aiturning evil.
Basically, this one megan comesback, but she's not evil, no
more.
And they're explaining for thatis like she.
I was a kid then I grew up.

(12:39):
I'm not like that anymore.
I was like that's that, you'rea, literally a machine.
Like what are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (12:45):
you're not a real.
You're not real at all.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
And they are fighting this group of people who go
around the world to stop aiproduction have from happening
because they are scared of megan, something like megan to happen
again.
So anything technologicaladvances like if there's
anything like, uh, there's athey, they build a machine to
help, like with people who havemuscle disabilities or something
like that like you attach it toyour skeleton, not like you

(13:09):
wear almost like a secondskeleton, and uh, you can lift
things like three times as muchas your weight.
And it's like they end upstealing that or destroying all
the properties for that and uh,the reason is because, like, we
don't like that's obviouslybecause they're going to be used
as the army, like they're goingto take that and use it for
their advances.
So they try to stop anyadvancements.
And they see Megan and they tryto stop.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Megan, basically.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
It's ridiculous, it's stupid.
Even more stupid than the firstone, I would say.
And the first one was prettyridiculous.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Alright, on the spot question who handled AI better,
mission Impossible, finalReckoning, or Megan?

Speaker 1 (13:57):
As the terms of actually seeing ai being used.
Megan, mission impossible yeah,like I think they did a better
uh use of ai in the first partof mission impossible.
And the final reckoning partone yes, the second part, like,
yeah, you see the finalreckoning part one.
There's the second part, likeyeah, you see its presence from
the very beginning in this.
Like the last hour 50 minutesis them just running and chasing
, trying to get like thisalgorithm, like a physical?
I don't know, they didn't do itwell, they didn't really.

(14:17):
You're gonna give me workupagain, but I want to talk about
more grounded story.
Then we'll go to f1.
Brad pitt is the fucking man.
He is the man and I think he'sin the 60s, right, yes, sir,
this guy is kicking out man.
I was looking at his hairline.
I'm jealous that, even as a 30year old or not 29 year old, I'm

(14:39):
jealous of this hairline.
Literally, he I didn't realizehow big of a f1 fan he really is
in real life like he's beentrying to get like a racing
movie off the ground for yearsI'm like a couple decades, he
said.
And then this one came alongand he fell in love with the
thing.
He's his producer as well yeah,yeah uh, for those you don't

(15:00):
know, it's a formula one drivercomes out of retirement to
mentor and team up with ayounger driver.
The star is Brad Pitt.
This is also a big one.
I'm introduced to is DampsonIdris, directed by Joseph

(15:20):
Kwasinski, who directed the TopGun Maverick.
Did you know they're making aTop Gun Maverick 3?

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yeah, the, the, the best movie of that year hands
that's what they said man, Idon't think it's gonna happen.
I I, I know tom cruise wants itto I there's.
There's no movement on theproduction side.
I don't want it unless tom comeaverage is a perfect movie.
I do not need more.

(15:44):
I don't want them to mess upthe legacy of two fantastic
movies yeah, what?

Speaker 1 (15:48):
do they wait like 30 years for the sequel to come out
?
Yeah, I'm good.
I'm good right now.
I'm not saying like I deserveone or anything like that.
It's it was perfect.
Let it be for a while At least.
Like you know, I get a TomCruise getting older and you
don't know you have miles tollerwho's who's doing great.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
so, um, I was thinking about tom cruise or you
can do it with uh glenn powellhitman or hitman, like a
spin-off.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
He's the guy.
That's what I need.
I was thinking about tom cruisehard the other day.
Um, dude, I I think of rolesfor him, him and johnny depp.
I was like I don't, I cannot inmy mind, I can't see other
scenarios of where they startedin another movie.
That isn't well for Tom Cruise.
Like, isn't action packed, youknow, like he he's done rom-coms
before.

(16:37):
I was like I don't see himdoing that ever again.
Um, tom, I mean, uh, johnny,back powers of the caribbean
with him and, if I'm notmistaken, I don't see him doing
anything else than that.
Like I don't see him doingheartthrob movies or anything or
anything like that anytime soon.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
So I know that.
Um, his latest one that he'strying to get made is were you a
tropic thunder guy?
Yes, okay, he's trying to get aless grossman movie made, uh,
based off his character,obviously, in uh, tropic thunder
.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
So really that would be fun.
That would be, I mean, if hewere to do it.
I hope to god he brings benstiller back I don't care if
he's in it, but at least todirect it.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
You know that, man well so he he's actually
partnering um with the dude whodid, uh um the mission
impossible movies like they wereworking on the screen together,
of course.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
I think there was a question Brad Pitt had in the
red carpet because Tom Cruisedid show up to the premiere for
this movie with Brad Pitt, andthere's two where they work
together again Because they didwork in a movie.
I forget what movie it was.
I think it was a rom-com too Inthe 80s.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Oh, the interview with the vampire.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yes, and Brad Pitt goes.
You know what?
I would love to work with himagain, but I don't want to be
jumping on a goddamn plane likehe has been doing.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
And that's what everyone was saying, because
originally I think Tom Cruisewas supposed to have the lead in
this one and the director waslike thank god we didn't get tom
cruise to do it because we werealready stressed with them
driving it.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Tom cruise would have wanted to flip it himself, like
yeah, um, there's also talks alot a sequel for this movie
already with a potentialcrossover with tom cruise's
movie he does.
He also did a racing drivingmovie in the 80s like thunder
road, something like that daysof thunder, days of thunder.
There's talks about doing acrossover movie with that, and

(18:37):
that's when it led to thequestion like, would you work
with him again?
Um, same thing with this movie.
Just let it be for a while.
I don't think I need a sequel.
Like, I feel like he had apretty good ending for this
character.
Um, unless I don't know, Idon't see anything.
Yeah, the ending movie is likehim picking up a new challenge.
We'll get into that in a littlewhile, but I think just let it

(18:58):
be for a while.
Like, let like and suck up theenjoyment.
Um, I think this is, ifanything is, more about opening
new doors for damson.
Um, for, you know, futureaction roles, not even as action
drama roles too like he wasgood in this movie yeah, I think
I told you, but he's my pick tobe the.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Uh, if they recast t'challa like he would be my
perfect black panther pick yeah,I was thinking about that the
entire time I seen him on screen.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
I was trying to envision him in and I could
totally do it.
He's he's a good guy.
He's's a handsome guy too, andhe definitely could pull off
physically, because he looks fitin this movie too.
Let's talk about opening day.
We both went to go see it on aWednesday.
How was your theater?

Speaker 2 (19:40):
It was good.
It was packed dude Similar toyours.
I was shocked.
I don't know about you.
I didn't hear about thisopening until two days
beforehand.
I don't know how the word gotout, but people were very
excited to see it.
What about you?

Speaker 1 (19:53):
you say anything.
Yeah, I didn't hear about ittill about two days, like you
think you texted me like hey,did you know this is early?
Yeah, I just saw it.
Um, and once they go see in ourimax and you know how big our
imax is the theater and it wasprobably about like 75 packed.
It was pretty good.
Um, I don't think any crazystories that I can remember off
the top of my head.
I did see like a few couple infront of me were like talking a

(20:14):
lot during their previews, butthey were mostly was gawking
over the.
They bought the popcorn bucketand that's how I was gonna go
look at it.
Um, yeah, it was a greattheater.
Reaction got an applause at theend of it, which is awesome.
Did you see it in imax 2 or no?

Speaker 2 (20:27):
yeah, I had to.
Actually I started going to thecinema because it's a little
bit closer for like my, you know, just convenience sake but no
regular, like imax movies willbe seen with amc obviously.
Uh, bonus to the a-list.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah, yeah, man, we would be so broke if we didn't
have the a-list membership noone, because I'm still going to
see I was talking to a co-workerwho's I told him about like my
marathon day, like I've seenfour movies in one day, and he
goes, like I did that once.
It was one of the transformerscame out like one of the michael
bay ones and speaking of whichthey're making another michael

(21:03):
bay movie, transforms movie.
Um, but the difference is hewent to go see transformers four
times in one day.
I was like that is ridiculousguy.
He said he was gonna go see itand he was talking to a friend
of his like I wouldn't mindseeing that again.
So they turned around, went togo see it again.
I think I was gonna go see withother people the second time,
third time.
I was like ain't no way thatboy was that good to go see it

(21:24):
four times, even a little bit.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
That's how you end up on the list.
You can't spend that much timewith Transformers.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, I haven't done a Hollywood updates thing in a
couple episodes.
We've got to do it soon, yeah,but they're going to be making
another two new Transformersmovies.
Michael Bay is doing one.
I forgot who's doing the otherone.
Is it the same director fromTransformers 1?
They also canceled theTransformers one sequel, which
I'm very disappointed about.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah, um, cause that movie was way better than had
any right to be um, or is it?
It's not the Bumblebee director, right?
No Cause that was James butyeah, I don't know if the second
.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
I can't remember what it was.
A big name too, but I don'tknow.
I'm kind of over transformers.
Actually, I'll I'm in the wrongfor saying this.
I'm kind of over transformers.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Dude, I've been over transformers since, like the
third one.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yes, I think I've seen one of my Mark Wahlberg's
one transformer movies, butafter that I just did not care
for them, like to transformers.
One did bring me back it,though.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
I'll give him that absolutely, and I'm like and I
think that's the whole key of usbeing movie fans like I'm most
likely gonna go watch it becauseI will if it works out like
there's only a benefit there,but it just is like what is my
excitement towards it not?

Speaker 1 (22:38):
non, almost non-existent all right, let's go
through the transform.
I mean not transformer.
Let's go through the f1 movie.
Um, I mean, it opens upimmediately with action,
immediately with racing, likehe's waking up like a morning
routine.
He wakes up like nothing.
I was like, oh, you guys kindof interrupted my nap because
he's napping on the like a race.
It was, uh, totona racing.
It was like a 24-hour race.

(22:59):
First of all, I don't know why.
What's the point of racing 24hours?
Like?
What is the?
I?
I mean, I, I saw, I, I listenedto brad pitt's interview on um
dax shepard's podcast.
Have you heard that one?

Speaker 2 (23:12):
okay, yeah, not even listen to the interview, but I
saw he went on you.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
You should listen to it.
He talks he's talked a lot agreat about the movie.
Um, damn fraud's gonna go withthat.
But I mean it opens up with a.
He's a big f1 fan.
That's what I'm saying he.
He said the big, that's what itwas.
The biggest challenge of thismovie is how do you make people
who don't know the sport, f1 orracing at all, come to the

(23:37):
theaters, come see this F1 movie, and I thought, felt like they
did a very great balance.
This is almost.
This is, would you, would yousay this movie is great, better
than Gran Turismo that came outlast year.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Yeah, yeah, I have it like this Ford versus Ferrari.
This is in the middle, and thenGran Turismo.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
I think you should for people listening.
If you haven't seen this movie,I think you should watch Gran
Turismo a little bit, or watchthat movie before you watch F1,
just because F1 went over myhead with some of the rules and
stuff like that.
Gran Turismo did me likeunderstand the sport a little
bit better, um, but he said yeah, that was the biggest challenge
of this movie.
Like, how do you balance thatto make people want to come see
it?
For, like, first of all, you'rebrad pitt.

(24:16):
I think people are gonna comesee you, no matter what.
So that um, he you know itopens with 24 racing.
He wins like it's nothing,doesn't even want the trophy, he
doesn't want to touch thetrophy.
This guy is very superstitiousthroughout the whole movie.
I loved it.
I thought it was a very coolquirk of his um.
And then he's recruited byruben cervantes cervantes played

(24:38):
by harry arbertum perfectcasting for this kind of role.
He their chemistry was greatthey, they, they, perfectly like
.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
If I don't see my best friend for 10 years, I know
I'll still have thatrelationship.
That's exactly what they Justthat dude vibe of being like,
you know, being able to pick upwhere you left off and have that
rivalry, competitiveness andlove for each other.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
He comes into Recruit Sonny Hayes.
That's his name in the movies.
He comes to recruit Sonny Hayesbecause he has a loser team.
He's in the hole like what isit like?
38 billion dollars or somethinglike that crazy amount of money
so he's like I need someone tohelp my team win, to get them on
the map, basically because onthe verge of losing the team and

(25:25):
he goes, he brings them on theteam.
This movie is almost like ifyou think about it in like a
Disney Channel way like, oh,like the Bad News Bears, or
something like that you know,like the team sucks, you know
they bring in ringers to helpthem come in and win.
It's kind of like that, butwith more drama attached to it.
So he comes on board.
This is a new kid, joshuaPierce, who was played by Dayton

(25:46):
D Dampson-Adrius, who we'vebeen talking about.
Who's a new kid?
I think he's a rookie and he'sjust tired of being on a losing
team.
He doesn't really.
He's a talented kid but he'smore about the fame and glory of
the part of the sport.
So, yeah, that one, the onewho's more about fame and
younger blood versus the old andinexperienced who's winning

(26:09):
versus, like, the olden,experience who's winning.
I don't want to get too much,it's a two and a half hour movie
.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
There's a lot to cover this movie long, long.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
I really want to see this movie again, but that's the
only thing.
Holding me back is like I don'twant to sit in a theater for
three hours yeah, especiallywith the 30 minutes of trailers.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Don't even get me started about that yeah, this is
a full-time commitment yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
So let's go through the good and bads throughout
this movie, because I have alist of bads and I have a list
of goods in this movie.
They're not even bad, there'sjust like more things I think
they could have improved on what.
So the good thing is I like thechemistry between the casting.
That soundtrack was amazing.
I mean, you could definitelytell it was the camera work from

(26:49):
the guys who brought you totaco maverick.
Matter of fact, my favoriteshot in the whole movie was it
was like the third act, thefinal race, like when he's about
to cross the finish line.
I thought first I thought theyhad a camera attached to the car
racing, but then I think it wasa drone.
That was the way they made itlook.
It was so fast and it wascovering everything and it was,
yeah, phenomenal.

(27:10):
That was my favorite shotthroughout the whole movie.
Um, you see that, like theprogression, there's crazy
character development in thismovie.
Loved it between both characters, actually all the characters in
this movie, from the the ownerabsolutely yeah, yeah, um, it's
just that like, and brad pitt'sthe man, I man, I love Brad Pitt
.
He's definitely the best partof this movie.
What about you?

(27:31):
What's something that gets for?

Speaker 2 (27:33):
you.
Yeah, I mean the score by HansZimmer, like you feel it, the
sound design alone.
Like I don't know about youthat I was so tense, like I
could feel the tension of everyrace, like every, every decision
.
My heart was going as themusic's picking up.
Absolutely, love that.
Um, I hate to call it action,but yeah, just the way that they
shot.
You know the whole pitch ofhaving the guy who did Maverick

(27:55):
is like how do you put thecamera in the cockpit?
And that's what it felt.
Like I was, like we were thedrivers, we were right there in
the vehicles with them justgoing as fast as possible and
yeah, man, the character works.
Some people just say like, oh,this is brad, pitch is being
cool again, don't care.
All right, that's the vibe.
That's what I bought my ticketfor.
I got to see it and again, likeyou, he had some good character

(28:16):
development, but just a verysimple story gave me, gave me
everything I wanted to see onscreen.
Definitely worth an imaxdefinitely.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
I would even go as far as probably one of those 4D
theaters too.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah, that'd be badass.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, a lot of the driving is done by the actors in
this movie too.
Yeah, of course they have stuntdrivers for the more dangerous
ones, but for the most not forthe I don't know how much
percentage wise they did, butthey did a good handful of those
driving scenes, they said, andthey did it.
Doing actual races too.
They had a 15 minute window togo on the uh laps with a real
crowd there too.
There's also a lot of cameosfrom real drivers in this movie

(28:51):
too, which is awesome.
I think I didn't recognize anyof them, but there's people yeah
, there was people in theaudience that were like, oh,
that's so and so, and that's soand so.
You know, it was pretty cool tosee that a little bit yeah, I
was like to the point about theactual races.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
I know the one, uh, I think the final race that they
did in vegas or the one,whatever one, that was in vegas,
like I very like, distinctlyremember looking at that and
being like that's real, like Ijust know that that race
happened two years ago or lastyear and I was like you can
absolutely tell that they gavethem time well, in the interview
I mentioned with doug shepherdhe talked about like yeah, they
filmed.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
One of their first scenes was, um, what I can't
remember which race, and it washard one.
They finished it.
And then thank god they'dfinished it because like the
next day they went on strike asthey couldn't work again for
like another was like four orfive months probably longer than
that yeah, um.
So we probably could have gotthis movie last year if wasn't
for that strike.
I would say, um, I do have thelast things I didn't like in

(29:50):
this movie.
One I couldn't stand bradpitt's random laugh in this
movie.
It's his real laugh.
He's laughing like a regularconversation like, and it's his
real laugh.
He doesn't laugh with dachshund, it's his real laugh.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
That's what, I think, made me like it so much it was
just like random placement ofhis laugh.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
I was like I don't think, I don't know if you'll be
really laughing at it righthere.
It was just weird.
It was kind of like preppy boykind of laugh.
Uh, there's been.
I have a lot of things thatcould have been cut out of this
movie and that these are the hotpick, hot takes.
I think that I think good toget.
I don't remember her name, butthe pig crew one who messes up
in the beginning.

(30:30):
I feel like her whole characterart could have been cut out.
Like she did nothing towardsyou, like I thought there would
maybe at least be a romancebetween her and, um, that one
guy, that pierce yeah, no, theydidn't.
They'd never brought up again.
Um, the reporter who had a feudwith Sonny, that could have

(30:50):
been cut out.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
I like the first interaction, when he's a dick
and he points out all of hisflaws from his past.
Because we needed to know aboutthat, I felt like, and that was
a good way to bring that up.
You actually didn't even haveto do that.
I think you could have justdone a montage of reports like
oh, sonny Hayes from 1996 orwhatever it was like you know he
had a trouble pass like show me, like a documentary, like style
, almost thing.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
this guy was a scene was cool in itself, because you
just got brad pitt going yeahyeah, yeah, that was pretty cool
like that, but yeah, didn'tneed it um, this is also even
hotter.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Take sunny's love interest.
I think that whole thing couldhave been cut out.
You didn't need that.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
You didn't need I hear people, I don't know, man,
I think it still works you.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
I mean, it was cool that was in there.
You did not need it though.
Uh, I feel like that wasdefinitely like mimicking top
gun maverick, someone who was onthe team.
Well, she wasn't on the team,but someone who just happens to
be there, is his love interestlike she?
I don't know this movie.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
I think it anchored, so for me, like, I think it just
ain't like yes, they could havehad that same relationship
without it being like romantic.
But I think the whole point ofhim is he's this suave guy, so
watching him, him win her overin that way for me worked a
little bit more.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
So I mean the whole thing about the biggest.
Well, I want to say the biggestreason why they're losers is
because they have a lot offemales for the first time in
the whole league.
I think the first she was likethe.
She was on building the robot,not the robot, the car,
basically.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
She was an engineer, yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
And then also the first pit crew.
She was also like, uh, I don'tknow she's the first one on
their team as a female or what,but they definitely were rookies
and they were definitely beingwatched more throughout the
whole league just to see howthey do.
Basically, yeah, and the firsttime you're on the team you're
automatically dating the driver.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
I was like I don't know how I feel I hear you, I
hear you doesn't lend well, butyou know what?
It wouldn't be different if itwas dude, who you know, and the
opposite one.
So I mean I would have.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
I would have liked it if they were just tight, they
were just good friends.
You know, that's what I mean.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Like I think that you still needed her character and
his to form that he likesstraight talk and have her be
the one to get them to sit atthe table.
I think that she was important.
I do agree that it didn'tnecessarily have to be a
romantic Leigh involved, yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
I did like that scene a lot at the bar, though, when
they were like who was kind ofhitting on her?
But then he was like then heshut it down, like down, like a
shot straight, like all right,this is what the car needs.
Like he was talking shop withit, like he is very
knowledgeable about the sportand he loves it and that's
mostly brad pitt too.
He just loves that too.
Um, and she was like that can'tbe safe, what we were doing.
It's like I didn't have to besafe.
And then you find out about hiswhole accident and that was a
pretty.

(33:42):
You saw a pov from his accident.
That was pretty cool to see inthis movie.
It was intense, it was scary.
Um, you see a couple accidents,man, when pierce flipped that
or went over that car and youknow the first accident, it got
quiet in the theater.
But then someone the guy rightin front of me is like oh my god
, it's like grant to use themall over again.
I was like come on, andeveryone laughed, everyone
busted out laughing it was crazy.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
I, I had the same thing, because I think the music
cuts out.
But there was like someteenager there and he was like
oh man, he's cooked.
And then like somebody was likeliterally he's on fire and I
was just like shut up.
Yeah, it was kind of funny, butI was like you just took, you
gotta just cut that, cut thatscene for me.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Um, man bill I think it was paul rudd went on amy
poehler's podcast and they weretalking about dirty dancing and
there's a scene you know likehave you seen dirty dancing?
yeah of course, okay, there's ascene like where he hits his dog
, that the dad hits the daughterand he goes like, oh my god,
I'm so sorry I didn't.
I never put my hands on you oranyone or something like that or

(34:48):
any woman.
Paul rutt, someone in thetheater yells like liar, um,
another hot.
Take that scene.
The texas hold'em scene at theend of the movie where they
finally bond like kind of accepteach other as their peers.
I love that scene.
It happens way too late in themovie.
I wish I was in the more towardsthe middle of the movie Cause,

(35:11):
like you finally learn how towork as a team on the very last
race there's nine races in totalI was like you did it, he they
did work well as a team, like inthe first couple of years, like
when they were he was Brad Pittwas like, or Sonny was helping
him advances by knocking out theother team players, um, but

(35:31):
they still have that rivalryrivalry.
They didn't really see eachother eye to eye until the very
last race.
I wish that happened, at least,like the three or four races
left, you know maybe the firstrace.
The problem with that, though,was that he was out right, so
yeah yeah, limited time frameyeah, and I guess the crew just
did not give a fuck about thesubs because they didn't.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
They got no camera time in the whole movie they
just got like here's the nextman up and they're like smile
yeah, I wanted to think out ofthe scenes cut out and the
actors just didn't know.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
But I wish that.
That was a great scene.
They they played it three way.
Um it's.
It reminds me a lot of aniconic scene that I'm sure they
mimicked a little bit.
I can't remember what I'mthinking of from, but it was a
great scene and they should havedone it a little bit sooner
because they had this two and ahalf hour movie.
That scene probably happens attwo hour minute.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
How about the social media manager?
Or his manager?
Who's like?
He was funny.
He was like a little quirky.
I think he could have been alittle bit more quirky to me in
this movie, but he did thedefinition of like you know
you're you're trying to get yourfriends on too right, just get
them on payroll, like.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
But it's not that he was bad at his job, he just and
they locked in later, but yeahhe was even at the club.
He was like man, we turn it upbrother I gotta go I liked how
they included them.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
Uh, pierce's mother in this movie too, she did get
in Sonny's face about theaccident because she blamed him.
And then, as soon as ithappened and Sonny overheard
that conversation his mom hadwith Sonny, I thought there was
going to be a scene.
Well, there was a scene wherehe admits it, like he Sonny
wasn't in the fault.
There I thought there was goingto do at least a press release,

(37:09):
because everyone in the mediablamed Sonny too, it wasn't just
his mother, and I thought therewas going to be a moment where
the mother was going toapologize to Sonny.
But no, you never see thathappen again.
I don't know, maybe there was adeleted scene, I don't know,
but that was a powerful scenetoo.
Like when he finally comes torealization, like oh, sonny is,
he starts learning from Sonny.
I wish that happened a littlebit sooner too too.
Like when he finally comes torealization like, oh, sunny is,
he starts learning from sunny.

(37:29):
I wish that happened a littlebit sooner, sooner too.
But it mostly happens duringhis accident, when he seems
running.
He's like pierce has all thisfancy equipment, kind of like
lebron james kind of style, andsunny's just doing it.
Old school.
He's actually running the track, which I wish they had done in
like a scene where he asked himwhy he does that like, so he's
like, so I can learn the track,or something like that yeah, I

(37:50):
and I think that's where I amwith this movie, because talk
about the explanations.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
Even that scene like I and I'm sure you also we
watched it and we got it.
So I'm like I don't know if Inecessarily needed it to be
spelled out to me, but I do wishthat there was a conversation
like that's how, that's how muchattention and detail he has
yeah, yeah, and the same thingwith the tennis balls, like he
mimicked that too.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
Um, the prayer sonny does a little bit of prayer
right before he goes in the carevery single time.
I thought he would ask aboutthat.
He doesn't, which it's kind ofself-explanatory why he does it.
But I thought pierce wouldstart doing that too.
But I don't know.
I like how the progression ofthe team starting to run with
him too, it's kind of hard tosay like is this a sunny movie?

(38:32):
Is this a sunny pierce movie?
Is this the whole team movie?
Um, because they do touch on alot of it and to me it's a lot
going on.
Like, if you're gonna do asunny movie, just just give me
sunny the sunny pierce, justgive me those two.
Like I don't care about, likethe team.
Like forming a bondage too,like I'm already assuming
they're, they're an f1, I'massuming they're already.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Actually I take it back because, let me tell you
when they, when watching sunny,win them over.
Like even the c stands forcombat or, like you know, the c
stands for chaos, and they'relike all chanting like that was
another scene where I'm likepumping my fist in the movie I
don't know I, I ate that up.
That was right on my wheelhouse.
Yeah, yeah, that was anotherscene where I'm like pumping my
fist in the movie theater like Idon't know I, I ate that up.
That was right on my wheelhouse.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
Yeah, yeah, that was pretty tight.
Um, what else do I?
I got some here things that Iwish they included a little bit
more.
I wish we seen a little bitmore rivalry between the teams
like uh from like um yeah what'sfrom?
What's some of the other teamsout?

Speaker 2 (39:28):
ferrari not for yard ferrari, um, I don't know the
other, that's how.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
Yeah, I mean, to that point I, I only remember
ferrari being up there but Iwish I was like lewis hamilton,
whoever he was racing for I meanthey do, they do sell them,
like the team like flicking themoff, and I saw like, oh, you
guys suck and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Nah, like I wish there was like an actual it
would be a little bit more too,because even in the beginning,
when the guy was like I'm goingto catch up to you one day.
Sonny, like how's that going tocome into play Like it didn the
time where, uh, uh he like hisfirst race back when he was
doing all the shady stuff, whenhe was getting interviewed like
another driver like pat him onthe back and was like, hey, you

(40:06):
know, good job on there.
I was like, all right, he'sgetting a lot of praise like
where is that?
Very, very much with you somemore competitiveness?

Speaker 1 (40:14):
I'm not sure about this, but someone in the
comments can let us know.
But like I think that was justa cameo from a real driver,
that's probably why they didthat oh, that makes sense um,
but I wish, yeah, like there'sanother two, two, two drivers
and another team that they werelike talk shit to them basically
and then like at the end, likeit's like top gun, maverick,
almost, you know like they justlike give them respects at the
end of it.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
I wish I was very hot take, similar to what you're
saying about needing more.
I like, I like this movie.
I think I love this movie.
This is a sequel to a moviethat we've never seen.
I like very much in thespiritual vein of like how top
gun maverick.
Like you get top gun.
30 years later.
There you get top gun maverickand it just kind of picks up.

(40:56):
This movie there is a movieabout brad pitt's character
where all of this happens welearn about, like you know the
prayer.
We learn about like the luck wesee his fall.
And this movie there is a movieabout Brad Pitt's character
where all of this happens welearn about, like you know the
prayer we learn about, like theluck we see his fall.
And like this movie comes out30 years later.
Like that is how I feel, likeI'm just missing something, like
I miss that edge that Top Gungave me that being said do you

(41:20):
think we'll get a prequel?
It's too late now.
Like that's what I mean.
Like that that's I was.
I was genuinely almost baffledthat this is kind of the order
that this came out, because youwant to learn so much more, Like
there's clearly a lot to sayhere, a lot more to do, and then
leaning into, like this is abro movie, this is a dad movie,
Like it is supposed to be thatway.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
That's why I'm like I just feel like there was
another movie missing and thatthat would have elevated this
Cause he he does have such ahuge past Like he was always
like the star prodigy in this,in this sport, but he also went
through, like, several marriages.
He had a gambling addiction,you know.
He lost his father at a youngage.
Yeah, there's a lot to thischaracter then.
Like you said, we are meetinghim way past his prime in this

(42:04):
movie, even though he does winthe f1 at the end.
Um, yeah, I, I definitely couldbenefit from seeing a different
movie from this too, and alsohe could have had a character
kind of like we would be able tosee him see himself in pierce
more than that way too, you knowexactly it's being back and to
that point too.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
Like yeah, I get it, they had a little rivalry.
I 100 understood where piercewas coming from, like I wouldn't
have followed his you knowtrain of thought the whole way.
But if you're the best driveron a team that's about to like
get disbanded.
I'm gonna be a little weary ofthe guy who shows no like, like
constraint, like just kind ofdoes his own thing, who's
knocking me off, like won't, letme pass him on my first race.

(42:43):
Like don't.
I fully get that.
I'm not like.
I guess what I'm saying is hewasn't like a bad guy in the
movie, he just had his own youknow thing going on I think this
is more of like a youngerperson thing too, like where
they don't necessarily showtheir respect for older people
as much as they should likebecause, yeah, like the first
thing I thought of, like oh, hedefinitely could be learning

(43:03):
from this person, like that'swhat you don't think of.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
You know, um, and matter of fact, one of the
things I have on here listed, Iwish we literally got a little
bit more of a background of thekid too.
Um, specifically, it would havebeen a perfect chance to do
from that scene where brad pittfinally calls up um, calls up
ruben, and he's like all right,tell me about the kid.
And like ruben could have wentinto, like well, I found him on

(43:26):
this track.
You know he shows promises.
He's a lot like you in someways.
You know he's a hothead, but heshows promise.
He just needs to know the ropes.
And you know you could havewent to his background just a
little bit, because otherwise heeven says like he, uh, sunny
asked him, why are you evenracing?
He's like for the fame andglory.
I think he does say that.
Um, I was like well, at somepoint you didn't always think
that I'm I'm sure.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Yeah, I wish we had to get here first and he like I
mean, and this is like thebalance right, because I didn't
need a really preaching movie,that's like you know, my
struggle was like this like Ikind of liked seeing him at the
top and being proud of himselfand like you know, he put his
mom on, got her a house likebrad Pitt, made fun of him about
it.
Like you still live with yourmom, but like having like his

(44:09):
own social circle and havingbrad pitt at the end of each
race.
What you smiling about?

Speaker 1 (44:13):
like that's what I mean, like there was there was a
lot there, I.
I do think it just kind of wentone one extra more detail they
do go back and forth a lot withher, like like just bashing on
each other, to the point likethe people in front of you were
so actual with it, like therewas a scene from the trailer
where he goes like oh so younever wanted an f1, or when's
the last time you wanted an f1?

(44:34):
And the guy goes same as youand the guy in front of me like
oh snap, I was like shut up,shut up, we.
We've seen this scene already.
Like what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (44:42):
the person I watch with.
We always um, I was a littlelike that's a bar that goes so
hard.
I don't care, it's such a goodthey were.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
They were good slams in this movie for sure put me
down to stuff like that.
There's also like a lot ofmotivation in this movie.
This is so people ask me allthe time, because I do this
podcast what makes a good moviefor me.
And the biggest thing is like Idon't care if the movie's good
or bad.
If I'm walking out the theaterfeeling something, whether I'm
feeling angry, mad or inspired.
This is definitely one of thosemovies I definitely felt
inspired kind of thing like notto go racing or anything like

(45:18):
that, just like find a passion,passion or something like that.
You know, yeah, this is great.
Same thing with the bear bearslike inspiring as fuck too.
I'm not going to go out thereand cook, but it definitely got
me off my ass.
They were like sorry, gettingthis podcast ready to get my
notes.
Yeah, definitely Great movie.
Would you like to see a sequelto this movie?

Speaker 2 (45:44):
it goes back.
It goes back to what you said.
Do I want to see a sequel ofthis movie with this team?
Not, really, don't care.
Would I like to see a moviewith uh j uh, jp?
Yeah, I can be down movie withum uh sunny absolutely so, I
guess it just depends on thedirection.
Uh, but not like soon.
I I can wait like four, fiveyears and uh be excited about
that so we didn't.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
Well, sunny does win the f1 of this one too, like to
the point where, like, hedoesn't touch the trophy before,
which is cool I like that corkabout him, but he, I think he's
at a point in his life like, allright, what next?
And you see him driving in thedesert with like a flyer so
isn't drivers needed and I don'tknow what.
I forgot what that racing iscalled like, where you're racing
like those dune buggies,basically throughout the sand
and, um, he's starting thatjourney of his life.

(46:24):
Now, too, I was like that'spretty sick to be starting
something brand new thatdangerous at like the age of 62
or whatever he is.
You know, yeah, it's, he's.
If we were gonna see him again,it'll probably be a movie like
that.
So I think we're done seeinghim for a while, like if not
permanently, like he's.
I don't know, maybe he's acameo in a second movie for
pierce or like he could, verysimilar to this.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
He could be that coach right then, like I know,
they offered him the thing thethe spot.
You know, not really gettinginto the spoilers, but he can be
that guy who isn't racing, likewho's teaching someone else, or
like really elevating jp, whichwill be a fun, like dynamic, to
see him come back, you knowyeah, I mean, but then that will
turn into cars three, you knowI'm getting started about that

(47:12):
uh, I had a fun time watchingthis movie.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Like I said, there's a couple things I would have cut
out of this movie, but the factthat it's in there, I'm not
hating on this movie at all.
It's phenomenal.
I'm probably giving this like a.
I'll give this a 9 out of 10.
I give this 9 out of 10.
I had fun watching it.
The soundtrack was great.
I walked out of theater feelinggreat.
Um, a lot of the everyonecheered at the end of it, which
is awesome yeah, yeah, whatwould you give this one out of

(47:35):
10?

Speaker 2 (47:36):
agreed.
I think I gave it an 8 out of10 purely because it's it's
about 15 minutes too long for me.
Like, not in a bad way, butthat was like I I just simply
remember looking at my clock,man like how much time is left?
Um, I think that man verysimilar to you.
As long as I'm invested, I'm inthe best mood of my life.
I left this movie excited.
I wanted to go watch f1 racedon't care about f1 at all but

(47:58):
it really got me like how do Iget into the pocket?
Like he was like it.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
It really yeah, yeah, I mean, man, the adrenaline was
up almost every race that theyshowed.
You felt the adrenaline, whichis cool.
Especially the last race I hadgoosebumps, which is kind of
rare, that I'll get like, ifthat isn't marvel, you know, um,
yeah, anything else they had onf1.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
Before we go to our next subject, no, but I um you
know this movie.
I think it was produced byamazon 200 million dollars, it's
actually apple oh, that's whatI meant.
Yeah, apple, um, thank you.
Uh, yeah, 200 million dollarbudget, um, and just an original
script and for everybody who'slike you know, hollywood doesn't
make originals anymore, likeeverything has to be a sequel or

(48:44):
prequel.
We got sinners, we got this,like there is still room for it
as long as we go see it.
So this is just that other callto action get back until the
movie did I think saw yesterday.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
I saw yesterday um that already made back over half
of its budget, so it's on thetrack to do very good in the box
office.
I think what's going to help ityeah, you can do tons of
marketing, but what's going tohelp it all, ultimately, is the
word of mouth, and I think a lotof people are walking out of
the seat are telling everyone togo see it.
So I think that it will do.
What place do you think will bethe year for box office?

Speaker 2 (49:25):
I would say probably as of right now, maybe third or
fourth.
See, I got it.
There's so many third or fourthdude as of right now.
I don't know about the draft,but I think I got it like in six
, seven.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
I'll be happy if it lands there yeah, there's too
many great things like comingout this year like yeah, so I'll
say that as of right now,though, sixth, third or fourth
um, yeah, we still have a lotcoming out to that.
You know that's gonna lead aperfect into our draft right now
.
Yeah, let third or fourth, um,yeah, we still have a lot coming
out to that.
You know that's gonna lead aperfect into our draft right now
yeah, let's do it but you justdrive right into it and, like
you said you, you gave this idealike let's do a draft for the

(49:50):
top opening weekends for the newmovies coming out though up
front.
I think we have like june 1sttill the rest of the year yep,
there's a june or july somethinglike that or Something like
that July 1st.
July 1st.
I have some potential.
I think we said six each, right?
Yep, we're both going to pickthem and we can pick each
other's.
You just cross off the board.

(50:11):
If that is, I'll let you gofirst.
Since you came up with this,Alright, then I am going.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
Fantastic Four.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
Fantastic Four.
I was so curious to see whatyour number one is gonna be.
I didn't know if I thought youwere to pick superman.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Honestly, yeah yeah, I, as you know, that's the movie
I'm most excited about.
But if I'm going pure, what'sgonna have?
This one has the mcu's backingof it.
Like I know are going to see it, even if they didn't love where
Marvel is.
I just know that this should bethe highest grossing box office
of the year.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
Even though Superman is having an early, early
premiere date on a Wednesday youthink?
Fantastic Force is going to win.
Okay, well, that's the game.
I'm picking Superman.
I'll pick Superman.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
Alright, fair enough.
Fair enough Again.
That was like these were my toptwo, so I was really stressed
going there um in my third onedude, or my second slot, or
actually you can go back to backwe'll see.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
Okay, um, I'll take wicked part two and that's why I
shouldn't wait.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
All right, all right.
Yeah, I mean, the first one didbuku bucks.
This one's gonna be absolutelyall right.
Sleeper hit on here for you,and by sleeper I mean the right
answer.
I'm going avatar.
Uh, that was my next one.
It's december, but it counts,avatar for sure you're trying to

(51:40):
get and then going to kind ofgo a weird one here, oh wait.
No, I'm not Jurassic, the newJurassic.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
That's on my.
That's on my flop list.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
I flop for overall box office.
That's why it's going to have astrong opening weekend.
I'm calling it.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
This is my fourth pick now.
Yep, I'm going to go.
Tron eras, tron eras, is thatwhat they said?
Tron eras, yeah, I didn't.
I mean, honestly, I've neverseen the first one and I didn't
think we were.
I don't think we, I would haveever expected to see a sequel.
But then disney did that whole,uh, the disney world did the
whole thing with a attraction,the ride and stuff like that.

(52:19):
I was like, all right, this ispicking up traction.
Oh, and my next one, uh, I'llgo zootopia 2.
Is that one coming out thisyear?
Uh, november 26, I missed thatone love it, I died.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
All right, yeah, all right so that's my fourth one.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
Yeah, I got two more all right, that is fam.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
That's a.
That's a really good pick, andI'll actually follow you on your
animated vibe and I'm gonna gothe bad guys too, okay, okay now
I I thought about that one hard.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
I tried hard.
I could have looked it up tosee how the first one did in the
box office.
Uh, but yeah, that's a goodpick.
That's a good pick, I'll giveyou that, yeah it did fine.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
You know nothing.
Nothing too crazy there, but Ithink in a year where we're
lacking on animated movies, likeyou said, um, obviously when
zootopia comes out, that's gonnarule the world.
So I'll give you that one there, but should be good, um, and
then I'm gonna go the uh man,you really stole my pick there

(53:19):
is this this your last one.
Yeah, I believe, so I'm goingNow, you See Me.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
That's a good one.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
I can't believe you didn't pick this one, but I'm
going to go with him.
The new Jordan Peele.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
Oh my god, oh my god, sports horror.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
And then for my last one of it's going a horror movie
uh, I'm going to a finalconjuring movie.
Okay, oh, that's yeah, I meanthe.
Every time I see the trailer Ihave to close my eyes.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
Even it looks terrifying okay, all right, and
I actually I think I do have onemore.
Uh, since I picked first, sogoing last, I'm gonna go a
smaller one.
But uh, nobody too, I think isgonna have a pretty, but I think
a nice 60 mil, 70 mil I neverseen the first one and, to the
point, I don't even remember thefirst one coming out oh my god,

(54:21):
dude, dude, it's fantasticthat's with uh david um.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
What's his name um?

Speaker 2 (54:27):
no better call solve.
That's um, um.
I'm blanking on his name dude,he's great in comedy.

Speaker 1 (54:34):
I just don't buy him as a tough guy like that.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
You you should have saw him in nobody.
He was fantastic it's the point.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
It's like liam neeson , you know, like in taken kind
of thing, you know I almost tookuh, what's that?

Speaker 2 (54:48):
uh, the the naked gun yeah, I almost took that, but
that movie looks.
Yeah, it looks rough.
Um or happy gilmore, I was alsogonna pick happy gilmore.

Speaker 1 (54:59):
That's is it.
I don't think that's theatricalrelease, but I would have took.
Oh no, it can't be box officerelease.
If it's not theatrical, that'snot on netflix.
Yeah, yeah, that's fair, allright all right, you want to
move into the biggest flops ofthe year?
Absolutely, actually, you onlyhave three.
You said right, yeah, we can,just we do.
You think we should do a draftor just list them?

Speaker 2 (55:18):
yeah, we can we can I can find I can find more this
is.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
This is a hot take, but every time I see this
trailer in the theaters, I keepforgetting oh yeah, I forgot
that movie's coming out.
It's one battle after another.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
The new leonardo the caprio movie it's oh okay, all
right, four score.
It will not make any money,that's fine, it's going to be
great.
I had a great feeling aboutthis Paul Thomas Anderson, if
I'm not mistaken.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
Yeah, and I think that's why it's going to flop.
It's like it's not Leo withMartin Scorsese, this one
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
That is exactly where I am, like they almost like
under marketing it, like it'slike not his original vibe, it's
like an artsy movie.
People are gonna feel that notlike a oh leo's in here, like
let's go, like, support it.

Speaker 1 (56:08):
I don't even know what the movie's about.
I just know it's about a like arebellion yeah, it's really
really weird all right uh, youcan go next.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
Um, so for flopping, I actually have the.
I know the trailer came out.
It looked really, really greatand speaking of the bear, he's
on one, the Springsteen movie.

Speaker 1 (56:28):
I had it on my list too.
I'll give you that.
The only reason I had it on mylist is because of the Timothy
Chamblee movie last year withBob Dylan's movie.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
Yeah, complete unknown and that listen, I got
one for an Oscar, but I think,even looking at the online
discourse, I think people aregoing to like it.
I do not think it's gonna.
It's no.
No one asked for this movie andI have a hard time thinking
that the the typical movie goingon audience will flock to the
theaters I mean the trailerlooks okay, but bruce bing's

(56:57):
thing he's.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
They should have made this movie a long time ago if
they were going to make it moretowards his prime, a little bit
closer to his prime.
I mean they really have achance with Jeremy Allen White
playing it.
But we'll see.
You can go to the second onethe third.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
This is a movie that I'm very excited for.
I'm pumped.
I think it's going to help himout a lot.
It will flop.
I'm going the smashing machinewith the rock.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Oh no, you don't.
I think it's going to help themout a lot.
It will flop.
I'm going the smashing machineWith the rock.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
Oh no, you don't think it's going to be the iron
claw.
No, I and.
Well, and this is the thing, nomatter how good it is that's
what iron claw taught me it'snot.
It's going to live on Like.
People are going to hear aboutit very, very late, late.
They're gonna wait for it toget on streaming because it's
824, it's a lower budget like,and then it's gonna blow up.
But I think, box office wise,unfortunately, this is probably

(57:47):
gonna be his best performanceever complete dud calling it now
interesting, interesting.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
Uh, for my second pick, I got the naked gun.
We kind of talked about thisalready, not?
Saying it deserves to be on theflop list.
Um, I think this is made waytoo late, because those movies
are hilarious.
Those movies are fantastic.
We are as a america.
We're just not in the samecomedy places we were back then,
and that's what's gonna be hardto sell it on him dressing up
as a little girl 12 year oldgirl, it's.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
It doesn't hit the same way as it did in the 90s,
especially as you put it on thetrailer too.
You know, the funniest,funniest joke in that trailer
was when they made it a spirithalloween like that was the
humor that works now, not likethe over the top and also, it's
liam neeson too.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
Didn't he just get canceled?
He's coming back from beingcanceled, not from not too long
ago for the third time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They should have pickedsomebody else um for my third
pick.
I got freakier friday.
It looks bad.
It looks bad to me at least.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
I agreed.
I actually completely forgotthat that movie existed and I
did just see the trailer forthat as I was watching the movie
.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
Trash.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
Trash.

Speaker 1 (58:54):
What else you got?

Speaker 2 (58:56):
And then I'll go one more I had.
I'm actually going to switch.
I'm going to go Spongebob, theSpongebob movie.
It's coming out at the end ofthe year.
I know they just had a similarone come out maybe last year or
two years ago and it didterrible.
Because who's the audience?
We grew up with Spongebob andwe do not care about this movie

(59:16):
at all and the younger kidsaren't going to go pay money to
see a movie about it all right,and um the last one, more um,
yeah I actually got two morelisted, but I will go with more
combat too.
Yeah, I was.
I was flip-flopping.

(59:37):
I think I think it will bestrong either a strong start and
then fizzle out, or opposite.
I think it'll either grow overtime, depending on how it is um,
I'll throw this one as anhonorable mention.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
Uh, because every time I see the trailer in the
theaters, it just doesn't lookthat good to me.
I think they think it's funnierthan what it is.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
I'm going with the roses front of the cumberbatch
okay, that one, it looks likemade for our parents age and I
don't see them going to theatersto see this.
Well, this I it has the girlwho was on snl forever um, um,
katherine.
No, I know who you're talkingabout and also has a family
samberg to um hate somethingyeah, yeah, I that one's the

(01:00:22):
time to do it.
I'll do one more too, just toround out the five.
Um, frankenstein, I thinkthat's gonna flop.
I do only because it's theseartsy movie man like it.
It's gilmore del toro would uhor uh yeah, that's all right,
yeah um, I think that he's goingto make a fantastic movie.

(01:00:43):
I just don't think enoughpeople are gonna see, I disagree
.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
I think this is gonna be our new nosferatu.
Really, yeah, yeah, I'm excited, yeah, yeah I I was between.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
As you know, I only watch, if I can help it, one
horror movie a year this isgonna change with this podcast.
I hope you know that we'regonna see other movies, but I
want to go see the black phonewhen it came out and black phone
2 comes out this year.
I'm hyped for that dude I justwatched the black phone, the
other day, yeah, and for the.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
I love that movie dude that movie.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
I was on a date when I watched that movie and I quite
literally threw my popcorn likeon that poor girl because I'm
scared to scare me was it likepop-up scenes with the kids,
like he turns yeah, yeah, yeahyeah, so we we're friends and I
she'll make fun of me to thisday, but uh, yeah, that movie
stressed me out, but it was good.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
I I actually liked that so the one reason, biggest
reason I like that movie isbecause it's such an interesting
concept like yeah, it's ahorror movie, but the idea,
that's why I like the conjuringmovies a lot like I'm terrified
of them, but they're so great atstorytelling.
And the black phone too.
Have you like heard or read thepremises of those two?
No, um, so people are wonderinghow he's gonna come back.

(01:01:54):
He is dead.
I can't remember his name, butthe guy is dead, but the kid
he's a little bit older now boththe kids are coming back for
this movie.
He sees another payphone,something like that, and it's
the guy calling him now sayinghe think he can get rid of me,
or something like that.
And I guess he's torturingthose kids on the other side of
the world now or the other sideof life now yeah, see, now

(01:02:18):
you're stressing me out again,man yeah yeah, it's, it's gonna
be a good one.
So I've heard people say this isthe year for horror.
See, now you're stressing meout again, man.
Yeah, it's going to be a goodone.
I've heard people say this isthe year for horror movies.
I was like I don't know if Ibuy that quite yet.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
Well, now that I'm thinking about it, from Sinners
to Him, to the Conjuring toMegan, there's at least a lot of
horror coming out this year.

Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
Yeah, yeah, I think we're close to an hour.

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
But if you could recommend something for anybody
to watch tonight, what would itbe?
Only because we are in the moodof F1.
I think it's time to throw itback to the original Cars movie.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
I think it's the original Cars movie.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
If you haven't watched it recently, if you
haven't watched it in the lastfew years, go ahead and throw it
back on.
Let life remind you of the goodold days.

Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
You know I'm going to a Disney um this November and I
always watch all the Disneymovies before, like to get
myself high for it.
And cars is definitely gonna beon that list.
I we do a cars trilogy one day,cause I did not.
I think it's popular opinion.
The second one just sucked tome.
But the third one was very good, like it kind of gives F1 vibes
.
I thought it was good, like himhanding off the torch.

(01:03:29):
I don't know, man.
One of my favorite scenes, too,was like Brad Pitt.
He's about to cross the lineand he's like what is he doing?
He's like he's flying.
That was a pretty good scenedude, yeah, that's what I mean
in the pocket.
I'll go gran turismo if youknow you want a racing movie too
.
That's a pretty good movie.

Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
I haven't seen that in like I don't think, this
whole year, but it was greatyeah, look at it, those three in
a row, you will be ready toready to be a rider yourself
yeah yeah uh, next week we'retackling jurassic world rebirth,
I think that's what it's called.

Speaker 1 (01:04:03):
How hyped are you for that?
Are you hyped at all for that?
Not even a little bit.
But I will watch anything,scarlett johansson is in, so I
hear like pretty bad reviews, sowe'll see how it goes that's
that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
That's why you genuinely make me excited,
because, even though I know it'sprobably gonna be terrible, I'm
excited to talk about it withyou?

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
yeah, yeah, that's a good point.
Um, yeah, I think that's all wegot.
I think I well, I know we bothat least got one new follower
