I Know What You Did Last Summer

The summer blockbuster season is in full swing, and we're diving into everything from Superman's ongoing cultural impact to the controversial use of AI in filmmaking. The Man of Steel continues to dominate conversations weeks after release, with fans still discovering Easter eggs and collecting merchandise that's flying off shelves faster than a speeding bullet.

We explore the shifting landscape of animation as Spider-Verse gets pushed to 2027, raising questions about how long anticipation can realistically build before audiences move on. Meanwhile, television excellence gets its due with Emmy nominations showcasing standout performances on shows like The Bear, where Ayo Edebiri makes history with her third consecutive nomination.

Perhaps most provocatively, we tackle Netflix's admission of using AI for an entire scene in a recent film – cutting production time by 90%. Where's the line between technological advancement and creative compromise? Is this the CGI revolution all over again, or something more concerning for the industry's future?

Our deep dive into Amazon Prime's "Heads of State" examines how streaming platforms have created a new middle ground for action comedies that wouldn't necessarily thrive in theaters. John Cena and Idris Elba's chemistry carries this turn-your-brain-off adventure that perfectly embodies the streaming formula. We contrast this with "I Know What You Did Last Summer," a nostalgia play that struggles to justify its existence beyond name recognition.

Looking ahead to Fantastic Four's imminent release, we can't help but get excited about the collectible popcorn buckets (particularly the impressive $80 light-up Galactus) while contemplating what Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards might mean for his already meteoric career trajectory. Whether you're a casual moviegoer or dedicated film buff, our conversation captures the pulse of this extraordinary moment in entertainment.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
excuse me, is anybody sitting here?
Sorry, this is taken.
Sorry, dude, can you believeI'm still coming down from the
high, from superman, dude, dudeI'm still flying.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
I I don't know if you can see it it's still my
background right now, likerightfullyfully so.
I was thinking about changingit.
I can't man, I'm still smiling.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
You haven't changed it to Reed Richards yet.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
I don't know, maybe Vanessa Kirby can get me to do
it.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
You know what?
Superman, because they finallyjust ended the press tour, like
two nights ago maybe, and thispress tour looks so much fun,
that's all my feed is likevideos of David Cornswet.
Like James Gunn interviews andstuff like that.
Like there's so many behind thescenes coming out.
There's still a lot that'sgoing to be coming out.
Like there's like hidden Eastereggs that James Gunn has, yeah.

(00:53):
Like yeah, we are going to showimages of some stuff later,
like that, for example, there'sa mural of old heroes and james
gone.
Like yeah, we will releaseofficial images of those later.
So like there's still more tocome.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Like it's it's not going to end anytime soon that's
what I'm hearing and I heardhim, uh, very similar all over
my feed.
And then today I saw one wherehe was like yeah, I think we're
going to do like a really goodbehind the scenes cut for the
blu-ray and I'm like this is whyI love physical media, like
just the, the thought of hittingthat button and watching the
behind the scenes, or even yet acommentary.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I would pay extra to have that commentary, like
tomorrow yeah, and james gunn,just you would think he would
get tired talking about all thisstuff.
Like this guy loves it, heloves it.
Um, the I think the pocketswere both referencing is the
happy, sad, confused podcast,which I'm in the middle of that
episode and it's so good hetalks about, like his transition

(01:50):
to become the new dc, like hisdecision to make a like to
reboot it because he wasoriginally going to just take it
over.
Um, it's a good interview andit's like the whole cast is
having fun with his press tour.
David corn, sweat the excuse melois lane, um, and then, uh,
nicholas holt sorry, they all,they all love these characters

(02:10):
that's doing and they allsupport the movie and it's
getting such great reactionsit's not going anywhere anytime
soon.
Um, so, yeah, I'm still on thehigh of it, like I'm waiting for
fantastic four to kick in anyminute, like I'm sure monday
it's all gonna be fantastic four.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah and I mean, like I'm already
starting to see a little bit,like to the point where I they
they released their last tv spotand I realized that I didn't
want to watch it becauseobviously, like, at this point,
I'm gonna go see it, I don'twant any more from it.
Um, but I think superman wasthe same way, like we caught the
train like right at the tailend, or at least the regular
people that you know.

(02:45):
I've been on this for a whileand, uh, I think that this will
help boost fantastic four forsure yeah and I'm glad you
mentioned this I was gonna bringthat up too was fantastic.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Four is less than a week away.
I've seen so many more like tvspots and like trailers and
images released like the pastweek.
I was like stop, stop, stop,you're, you're doing too much.
Like let me be surprised alittle bit.
I mean early, early, earlyreviews are being released.
I mean I'm sure we're getting alot more money because that's
when the official premiere is.
Yeah, um, been very well forthe most part from what I've

(03:19):
seen.
I've seen like a couple haters,but we also seen that first
early review of the hater onsuperman and that was totally
wrong what I say oh, I feel sogood being right um, but we're
slap dab in the middle of summermovies, dude, and there's a lot
of movie news going around.
So I thought like it's been aminute since we did it or since
I did it, um, hollywood updates.

(03:41):
So we both have a list of whatstuff you want to talk.
We haven't talked about witheach other, we're just going to
get our reactions right now andthoughts about it.
You want to go first with yourfirst one.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, so I'll start off.
You know I'll try toprogressively get better, but
very quick update Spider-VerseSpider-Man across the
Spider-Verse got delayed threemore weeks.
Not a huge deal, but uh, it wasvery interesting.
I know this is the first timewe've got like an official
confirmation, more than justlike when it's going to come out
, like they're actually puttingit.
It should happen, uh, june of2027.

(04:15):
How do you feel about that?

Speaker 1 (04:16):
so at this point, because it's so far away, I was
like what's?
Three more weeks, you know, uh,but did you hear the reasoning?
They moved it back?

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Because of school like school getting out later,
Like they didn't already knowthat.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, yeah, it's because of the summer.
For those who don't know like,they released it three weeks
later because I believe in thebeginning of June.
There are some schools in the U?
S or maybe just around theworld that are still in school
and they wanted to be slappedout in the middle of summer
break so everyone can come seeit.
Not a bad marketing idea but,like you said, you didn't think
about it sooner.
You had two other movies comeout already.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
In fact, the first one came out in December and I
remember where I was when I sawthat movie for the first time.
The second one came out June 2nd.
I remember it was the first dayor two of June.
I had my Spider-Verse shoes on.
I was really pumped to see it.
So it is like weird, likeobviously it's been delayed
almost three different timesalready for them to be like

(05:10):
three more weeks.
But you know what, like I saidit, it means that it's happening
, so I'm good to go yeah, yeah,like it's so far.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
I think it's 2027, right?
Yeah, crazy, it's so far away,like what's three more weeks,
you know yeah, I weeks.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
I had all my money on them releasing in December of
26.
That would have been fine withme, dude.
We were supposed to get thismovie back in 2024.
Was that right, didn't that?

Speaker 1 (05:36):
say that.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
It came out in 2023.
It was supposed to come out.
It was spring of 2024, was themarketing push for it.
Then, obviously, the strikeshappened, so it got kicked back
and now you know there's 77different things going on in
Hollywood.
So just for it to, to, to feelthis, you know, this, stretched
out, really, really hurts mysoul.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
I mean, the further you push it back, the more
anticipation you're building forit, and you got to live up to
that hype which is can be hard.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
There's like a level to it, though.
Right like um, I think honestly, like a year later would have
been a little too soon.
I, I I get why they did it,because of like how they
cliffhangered us.
So like, all right, fine, but Ithink you know if it gets
pushed back any further then yourisk people falling out of it.
You know, like we are alwaysgoing to go see it, but the
general public like it's hard tokeep that anticipation going
without any like crumbs ofanything yeah, yeah, I think I I

(06:29):
could have sworn.
I read an article that they didstart working on it and then
they just scratched a lot of it,so that's why it was almost
starting for me, right, but they, I remember, like two cinema
cons ago they released, um, likethe first, like quick pictures
of it, and then last year islike, when we found out it was
going to be an IMAX, like orlike you know, like,
specifically like, so how theshots were being designed.

(06:49):
So at this point, what's thedude who plays?

Speaker 1 (06:52):
miles.
I know you're talking about.
I can't think of his name.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
It was a love with Haley Seinfeld yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
You know down bad for years.
Now he's going gonna be likehis voice is.
He's gonna age out dude like Idon't even know how he's still
supposed to have this teen voice.
It's all.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
It's crazy to me dude and he's, he's come on, so he
wants to play the live action.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Miles morales is like man, if you don't get your old
ass.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Age is one thing, but I mean, like a lot of actors do
get in shape for it, but likethis guy like does not have a
body.
Yeah, he's not gonna be inspider-man, but but that's the
thing like miles story.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
He is like a again.
He's that high schooler likethis dude is.
He's grown and he's never gonnarecover from that tweet like I.
Just I still that's a tough one, man what's what you're talking
about for our audience?
When, uh, hayley steinfield gotengaged, he like put you know,
you always put those sub tweetsout.
I forgot exactly what he says,but you know like, oh, people

(07:50):
hurt you, but I'll be all right.
Some stupid thing, it's likeall right, man.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, sure, you know what it's awkward because she's
just not into him.
But then like and there's abunch of clips of like awkward
interviews like he does saysomething like oh, like, who's
your celebrity crush?
You know hayley steinfeld, andhe says it's such a weird way
and she's definitely creeped outabout it.
But then you go to like michaelb jones press tour with her and
she's like lovey-dovey with himthe whole time.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
He's all over that man and he, what's the one that
he always said he was like it'seasy to uh act like you're in
love when you're sitting next toHaley and he just stares at her
.
Bro, I get it, we've all beendown there.
I'm not, and if I was sittingnext to Haley I can't say I'd be
different.
But you got, you can't go fromJosh Allen to Michael B Jordan

(08:35):
Like you're playing in adifferent, a different level, my
friend, yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
All right.
Next up, emmy nominations havebeen posted.
Severance, the penguin in thestudio, have the most
nominations for this year.
I'm not surprised Severance hasa lot, but I am surprised the
Studio has a lot.
I love the show.
I didn't think it was going tobe for everybody, but yeah, seth
Rogen even posted about it.
I think he alone has the mostnominations.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah, yeah, I was over the moon.
Obviously, I know we both lovedthe studio, but I thought it
was like this inside baseball,only for us like type deal.
So to see that it's gettingthat like, obviously a lot of
the actors really like it, youcan tell that it was embraced.
Well, even though it's a parodyof a lot, but it's that thing,
right.
They took the time to make funof stuff, but they also put a
lot.
But they, it's that thing,right.

(09:23):
They took the time to make funof stuff, but they also put a
lot of care and attention, likethat one shot episode.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
So my favorite episodes of the series, like and
they did it right, so Iabsolutely earned and deserved
yeah, um, also, the bear got alot of nominations not
surprisingly always do everytime the season comes out, but I
broke history with three thefirst african-american woman to
have three nominations in a rowand this is like the importance

(09:48):
of not even the importance, butthis is kind of what you got to
educate yourself.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
I remember last year, man um, when she didn't get any
noms and people were throwing afit because they didn't
understand, like the way theyears was based off.
It was like still rewardingseason one and she didn't have
that much to do.
Right, like season two was theone where they really delved
deep in season three even more.
So you kind of gotta, you know,let the process happen.
Emmys are really weird with thetiming of tv shows, but it

(10:15):
worked out and I'm very happy tosee her getting the recognition
is it nominated for season fouror season three?
so season four just came out.
It it's gonna be not yetnominated for season three okay,
okay.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
I just caught up to start season four, like I'm
waiting to hit play on the firstone because, uh, someone wanted
to watch it with me, so I'mwaiting on them to watch season
four.
Um, there, it's good.
I'm not hating on it.
I like the first two seasonsbetter than season three.
I'm not gonna lie, because atthis point there's just too many
characters coming in that Ihave to care about.
Like I do not need to get a sad, sobby story for every single

(10:52):
person I see on screen.
Keep the story moving forward.
I'm getting more flashbacksthan anything anymore.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
I feel like yeah, and I to your point.
I think, like I just phrase itup they're getting real artsy.
You know, like that was like mybig thing, uh, in season three.
I think I know what episodeyou're talking about, uh,
napkins, I actually like thatone at the end, but then like he
went on this weird likeflashback episode for a whole
and I'm like we only have 10 ofthese.
You can't be exploring allthese like small motivations

(11:19):
when we're very limited on timehere.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Guys I actually think that's um I a o I o's a o's I
o's is um director of debut.
She did that episode, if I'mnot mistaken yeah, yeah, yeah,
she crushed it.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
I just like how, like ?
Um, obviously we got to know alittle bit more about tina.
I think you could have donethat in half the time.
But then, like watching mikeycome into it, like seeing their
relation, and then the talk atthe diner, that's, I think, like
it just meant a lot to me andthey did a lot of season set up
for season four with like, haveyou started watching it or no?
I finished, I dude, I finishedwednesday.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Okay, I just I haven't started yet, but they
were left off.
They left cliffhangers for,like, um, obviously, ayo's
character leaving um set up for,like the, their uncle, whoever
it is is like losing money.
So there's no funding for therestaurant anymore.
There's a lot of setup, whichis cool, which is the hell the
end every season, basically.
But um, yeah, like I said, toomany characters slow it down.

(12:11):
I'm excited to see brie larson,to see what she's doing in the
show.
Um, john berthal is crazy inthe show.
I was surprised.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
I was surprised to see john cena in the show that
was random, the biggest pop-upthat threw me off, like to the
point where now, when BrieLarson goes up, the person I was
watching with I turned and Iwas like they're just getting
everybody from Fast and theFurious at this point they're
just like it's almost likethere's going to be a really
interesting Venn diagram ofpeople who have done Bo.

(12:50):
Jamie Lee Curtis has beenbecoming a really good, rich,
harvey current character.
Yeah, yeah, she, she holds itdown, man and she.
They dive a little bit moreinto her and sees more season
three is the episode when uh,sugar had her baby, right.
Yeah, okay, that was aninteresting episode too, that's
what I mean it was just long manthey're also trying to make
like funny regular characters.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
don't cousin?
I don don't even know themaintenance man who become like
the hostess or something likethat with his brother yeah.
They're like forcing that on me.
I did not fuck with themcharacters.
I was like they were funny.
Every once in a while I waslike you're giving me too much
of them.
Like they're good in smalldoses.
So, you know that, the big guywith the tattoos, you know he's

(13:27):
um the only actual chef on theshow.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
No, that's cool.
Yeah, he's not even a chef onthe show like full star chef
like, which is why it's so funnyto me yeah, and it's man, what
a curve.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Because, like they went from selling beef
sandwiches to like thesefive-star meals, like in chicago
.
In chicago, like I, have youever been to the actual
restaurant?
I never have been wanting to go.
I don't know.
I I don't know if I buy thatpart.
I know there are fine diningrestaurants in chicago, but, um,
but from going from a beef shopthat's like if our local beef

(13:55):
shop changed into a fight.
I don't know how good thatwould do.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
well, I saw, I saw a tweet like last year, uh, or
like two years ago, I guess,when the season ended.
It was like hey man, I love thebear, all fun and games, but if
my local like sub shop turnedinto a fancy ass restaurant that
I couldn't afford, I'd bepissed and I feel that with my
soul.
Dude, like, can you imagine?
Like, like pops you know inChurroville like, or is it

(14:26):
someone round town?
If like round town?

Speaker 1 (14:28):
turned into this big, majestic, like hundred dollar
plate restaurant.
I mean I would be big man.
Yeah, yeah, which I don't know.
Oh, you've seen season four, soI don't know.
They might touch on somethinglike that.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Um, you can go next for the hollywood update yeah,
um going into um movies, willowand spitch this is and Stitch
the first billion dollar movieof 2025.
I know you want to go see this.
I know you had a veryinteresting reaction.
What do you think when you hearthis?

Speaker 1 (14:55):
I'm not surprised it hit a billion at all.
I am surprised it's the firstone to hit a billion this year.
I'm really upset.
Sinners did not do that, butI'm not upset about it, you know
.
Good for them, I, I it's comingout with a sequel.
It's going to be completelyoriginal.
Don't know how I feel aboutthat quite yet, um, but the
movie was just average.
But, like I said, it's a kid'smovie, it's.

(15:16):
It was fun.
I remember having fun watchingit.
Um, I was more upset about thechanges, but that's just me
being ignorant, like notaccepting new changes.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
But yeah, good for them.
I think I'm with you on the notaccepting the changes, but I
hear it, I hear it.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah, ryan Gosling and Will Ferrell have a new
movie coming up through prime.
It's going to be called thetough guys or called tough guys
Don't know what it's about, butit's Will Ferrell and I'm
signing up for it.
Have you seen the?

(15:51):
last will ferrell um prime movie, um, you're accordingly invited
, or something like that.
Oh no, I didn't.
I know it was good it was.
It was good, it was primestandard for comedy.
I would say, and we'll get intothat.
One of the movies we're talkingabout is the heads of state,
this episode, um, but think likericky stanecki, think of, like,
uh, you know, similar comedies.
It's that kind of standard ofhumor, okay, um, but I'm
thinking about will ferrell,like dude, like him and ryan

(16:11):
gosling.
Yeah, it's gonna sell ticketsbecause they're big celebrities,
but like I'm tired of them justputting will ferrell with
another a-list or celebrity,like, like with mark walbert,
with kevin hart, um, uh, john,well, john c riley was a good
choice, but I'm trying to thinkof somebody else, but like
you're just sticking him with alist of celebrities because you
think they would mesh, well,like, let's throw these two in
the room, see what happens.
I was like, give me goodchemistry.

(16:33):
Like you know, will ferrell'snot just comedy actor, he's a
good drama actor as well.
Um, so I mean, it's just him.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
He could definitely just be the one choosing these
roles too, like you know, if Iget it that, sounds like, yeah,
he's at the age where you knowhe's he's working with people he
likes you know, or working withpeople that like they probably
had a really good conversationat a bar once and then like,
yeah, let's do it like I, if itain't broke, don't fix it.
You know, like if they can keepputting a little and it still
works.
So, um, him, mark walbert, arethe best combo for me, like

(17:04):
other guys is literally in mytop 10 movies so I would say the
other guys.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
But like were you a big fan of the daddy holmes
movie?

Speaker 2 (17:12):
uh, I like the first one way more than I like the
second one yeah, uh, you gotanother one yeah, um, going into
, so all right.
So we were talking about thestudios early in the studio
earlier.
I'm going into, so all right.
So we were talking about thestudios or the studio earlier

(17:32):
and it's that big scene in theKool-Aid episode which was my
actual favorite episode and youknow they're they're trying to
avoid, like the castingsituation.
Someone stands up in the crowdand was like I heard you're
using AI.
You know everyone like goes andgoes crazy.
So it was really interesting tome that this week, uh, netflix
actually admitted that they usedai on one of their lower budget

(17:54):
movies for a full scene.
I guess the scene was like abuilding explosion or whatever,
um, but they talked like they,out loud, admitted that, uh, it
was more cost effective.
They did it in 10 times, uh,quicker than it would have taken
their normal process, humanjobs, um.
So you know, as we are goinginto the future, like, what are

(18:14):
your thoughts about companiesusing ai movies like this?

Speaker 1 (18:17):
dude, ai is coming everywhere right now.
I was scrolling on tiktok theother day, um, geico insurance
has an ad on tiktok right now.
I could totally tell it was ai.
It's not real people there, um,and it's something I am
noticing that that was a greatepisode.
Like it addresses, like peopleare so worried about, like are
there the students are soworried about being culturally

(18:40):
right, about like castingchoices they didn't really they
over.
Like they didn't think ai, theydidn't totally slipped their
mind.
Like they don't really see itas a big deal.
Probably I can see sides fromboth.
Both sides like, yeah, you'retaking jobs away from actual
laborers, but like it is costefficient, it is.
As a small content creator, Ido use ai, but not like they do.
Like I use af like editingreasons, but like yeah, to make

(19:03):
a whole explosion.
That's kind of insane to me.
I I'm so curious, just curiousto see how it works.
Yeah, I I'm so drawn.
I don't know, I know, I knowthat's why that's what I was.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah, it's.
It's that thing, man.
Like I'm also split because, atthe same time, like obviously,
when it comes to art and cinema,and like you know, where do we
draw the lines, like I don'twant them.
You know, commissioning scriptsbased off ai written, you know
stuff that's plagiarizing otherthings in front of it, or just
like you know, like no humanemotion towards it, but cgi,

(19:39):
right, if you would, 30 yearsago it took away jobs right from
practical effects, like westill talk about that now.
So I don't know, I think that'ssomething that is really going
to be a big hot topic.
It was definitely one of thehot topics when it came to the
writer's strike and the actor'sstrike.
We saw it in both contracts and, like the studios, we saw the
battle.
So I'm very interested to seehow it plays out.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
I personally think I'm okay with um ai cgi stuff,
like crazy explosion versus aiwriting.
I think I'm okay with the otherstuff, but what's the
difference to you, though?
You can definitely tell it'snot.
There's no human emotion withai writing.
There was a movie that came outhard eyes.
I believe this year that Iswear it was written by ai dude.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
I hate that movie with my whole heart yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
I mean, you see examples of like remember that
whole fake Willy Wonka thingthat happened last year?
Yeah, that guy wrote a wholescript for those characters
solely off of AI.
It didn't make sense oranything like that.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
But it's going to get better.
That's the thing.
So when they refine these toolsthat's what I'm saying when do
we draw the line?

Speaker 1 (20:45):
I'm saying when do we draw the line?
I want to end it with thisargue you can't get Superman
with AI writing what James Gunnjust did.
We're on the same page there.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
We're on the same page there.
But if they use it like youknow, it would be something to
say like what if James Gunntyped into AI like you know,
give me a concept of you knowthis movie.
An ai like you know, give me a.
Give me a concept of you knowthis movie.
And then now he's savinghimself time because he, he's
rewriting it instead of writingfrom scratch.
You know like it's.
It's just going to be.
It's a.
It's a hard thing to keep trackof.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
It's going to be a very slippery slope one of my
favorite trends going around nowactually is ai.
Um, people are taking a pictureof themselves, they're taking a
picture of their dog, and thenthey're taking a picture of that
end credit scene with uh,crypto and superman on the moon
and they're asking ai, can youmake a photo like this for me?
And it'll does, like that's abig trend, like people are
getting pretty cool photos oftheir dogs on the moon, like
that all right that's baller.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Uh, next time I'm gonna do it with my cat check
out my instagram next topic.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
I don't know if you've seen this.
I loved it.
Shane gillis hosted the sbs theother night, absolutely dude
absolutely.
Shane gillis is definitely handson my favorite comedian now.
I listen to his podcast everysingle week.
I love everything.
I was tires.
Have you seen tires?
No, no, oh, my god, it's.
It's hilarious, it's so funny,like the whole show was great.

(22:00):
He's great and everything hedoes.
Um, it was random topic like myme and my co-worker were talking
about like celebrities thatdied and I asked them like if a
celebrity were to die today,like which celebrity would have
the most impact on you right nowthat you would be devastated
and shocked about?
I think mine would be shanegillis.
Like I, he's like oh, wow, okay, I wouldn't say at his peak

(22:22):
right now.
He's still rising up like Ifeel, like I'm I can't wait to
see what the next thing he does,uh, but if she can get us right
now, like I feel like man, it'dalways be like mac miller or
selena, like where would theybeen now?
You know?
But uh, the espys.
He's getting a lot of confusingreviews like backlash or like
praise, and it's just becauseit's it's his comedy.

(22:44):
Like people are saying like heshouldn't treat it like a
stand-up comedy.
People are there to receiverewards, but like that's why you
hired him.
That's why you hired him.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
I think at the end of the day, the only people to
blame is ESPN.
You gotta know your audience.
We saw their literal audience.
There were some people laughingat the jokes, but it was a
tough crowd.
Like some of that shit wasactually hilarious.
It was like tough crowd, likesome of that shit was actually
hilarious.
It was like really funny.
Not everything landed for melike, but I just, you know, he
was on that norm mcdonald float,like he was just kind of going

(23:12):
in, but that's the thing aboutlike this type of comedy.
He was hitting everybodyequally.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
You know, like anybody and everybody can get
the smoke, and you know if Ifelt good to just laugh, um, but
you got to know where you're atman I mean maybe just because
I'm not a sports guy either,like I don't, I don't know
almost anybody in there, okay, Iwas like they're just hating on
them, but I was like I don'tknow I could be different.

(23:37):
Like you work your whole lifeto be the best of the best and
then this guy's coming pokingfun at you.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
You know but that's, that's what I mean.
Like it more so is I'm not evenlike, because I'm not trying to
defend these people, I actuallydon't care about them at all.
I'd probably do the same thing.
But like, I think about the,the oscars, right, like I I'm so
pumped for you know, oscarseason with you is gonna be a
blast.
But uh, you know, when theyannounce a host, like I do, like

(24:03):
when the monologue pokes fun atlike a certain topic going on,
but I don't need to see thatperson go in at everybody I love
, like in a way that I'm likeall right, like didn't have to
do that here, like I lookforward to this.
So I I understand the mindsetthat they were in, like damn,
all right I mean, it definitelyfelt like a roast, almost too
exactly, and like in a rowsetting dope and his own comedy

(24:26):
show, dope at the actual place.
That's what it gets a littlemurky, but at the end of the day
I laughed my ass off.
I watched those clips likethree or four times and the wmba
joke had me acting.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
So I I love it yeah, I can't wait to listen to this
podcast, to hear him talk abouteverything.
I got one more and it's aboutpodcasting.
Nick Cannon launches a newpodcast called Nick Cannon at
Night, which, oh man, he missedthe opportunity to do Nick at
Night.
I'm sure he thought about it.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yeah, I'm sure they banned him from it.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah, and it's about he's giving relationship advice
and you can really DM him askingany questions about
relationship, sex or dating ingeneral and he'll give us
feedback on it.
I'm tired of Nick Cannon.
I'm tired of Nick Cannon.
I've been tired of Nick Cannon.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
He's got how many kids Like 16?
Probably yeah, 16.
I know it's in the teens now.
I don't know who let this manand publicly messy divorce from
Mariah F and Carrie.
Who let this man get publiclymessy?
Divorce from Mariah F he carry.
Who let this man get amicrophone?
I'm so tired of him.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yeah, I mean I'm sure it's not going to be serious
advice.
I mean it's definitely going tobe comedy.
Like Jake Johnson does the samething.
You can call his podcast andthey'll ask any question.
They'll give you advice on it.
They're not experts.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
They're obviously giving giving a joke answer,
which is what I'm expecting.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
The canon thing to be about.
I mean it is gonna be fun and Idon't know if I'll listen to it
, but uh, I don't even know whatI was.
He did great.
He did great at hosting masssinger.
I was like that's the blastthere, even like america's best
dance crew even I'm not dancecrew like america's got talent.
He was great at hosting that,yeah.
But I mean, like once you gofrom stuff like that to doing
while and now, which I don'tthink it's that funny anymore oh
, it's not it.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
No, it's not at its peak, but when it was good man,
it was hard to find somethingbetter but it wasn't good
because of him.
It was good because everyoneelse, you know that's a little
column, a little column b,because his ability to make let
them make fun of him or likelean into the cheese, like that
also take like Nick, at the endof the day, is a personality, so

(26:28):
I fully understand.
Like the, the venture.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, um, yeah.
Would you like to see him backin movies?
No, no.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Drumline was pretty cool.
Dude Drumline is Drumline's upthere.
I just, I haven't.
It's been so long that I don'the's.
It's that thing, right.
I don't think I'd be able toseparate whatever characters
he's playing out of Nick Cannon.
I'd just be like look at Nickon the screen, what is he?

Speaker 1 (26:55):
doing.
I feel like he had such a hugeopportunity to have the same
career as Michael B Jordan yeah,he, he just you know, really
dove into the music part.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
But he at a very young age and on Nickelodeon,
like he's had us for a while,like he's shown his range, his
chops, I just I don't know.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
I guess I'd be excited for him and I'd root for
him, but that would be veryhard for me yeah, yeah, uh, you
know there's a lot of hollywoodupdates that we just I don't
know this is a couple of we wantto go over.
But they said superman is stilla big hot topic right now.
But I mean, the tone is goingto change tremendously.
We're going from dc to marveland, um, fantastic four the

(27:39):
first time fantastic four iscoming to the big screen in 10
years I think it's been 10 years.
Yeah, yeah, miles teller, yeahand um, I'm pumped for it.
It's getting great reviews, itlooks great.
I, oh, first of all superman,real quick.
The popcorn buckets um, wetalked about them on the last
episode, but, amc, I told you Ithink I told you last episode I

(28:01):
wanted the superman cups so badand they were sold out.
But I recently went to go see Iknow what you did last summer
at the one in hobert.
They still had them and Ireally wanted it so fucking bad.
I didn't buy it.
What?
Only because I saw, uh, whichtheater?
Not regal cinemark?

(28:21):
No, not cinemark.
Um amc regal cinemark I can't uh, damn, I'm tipping my time, I
can't think of it right now, butanyways, they have a popcorn
bucket that I absolutely love.
It's the same texture as a cupbut it's a full popcorn bucket
and it looks amazing.
It's not sold anywhere anymorebecause I'm sure it's sold out,
but it's on ebay and I'mthinking about pulling the
trigger, but that's like 60bucks.

(28:43):
I was like, oh jesus.
But that was like, if I'mwilling to spend 60 bucks, I
might as well buy the 80 buckpopcorn bucket galactus okay,
yeah, I know that.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Dude, dude, dude.
I know you posted on instagram.
It will be remiss if I don'ttalk about it.
My favorite popcorn bucket alltime.
The new freakier friday oh mygod.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yeah, I haven't talked about it with anybody yet
.
It looks interesting like whenI heard of it, it's funny.
It's a funny on a tag dudemovie concept product.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
That is how you make a popcorn bucket.
I I have no notes.
It took me, it confused me, I'mnot gonna lie.
When you posted it I was likeall right, it just has branding
that.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
I was like, oh, yeah, so I love that for those who
don't know, it's a popcornbucket and drink combo thing and
the thing is like they'reswitching places, like the cup
is actually the popcorn bucketand inside the popcorn bucket
it's like a little thing foryour drink.
You can drink out of thepopcorn bucket.
It was pretty funny.
It was pretty funny.
Um, I, I can guarantee you I'mgonna do my hardest to grab a

(29:49):
kirby popcorn bucket next week.
Okay, that's my goal.
Like the, I think it's amc,right, yeah, amc kirby, it's a
popcorn bucket.
You can hold your snacks inthere, it can hold your drink.
It all in one device and it'slike big as my torso probably.
It's a pretty big size one.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
You may make me get a popcorn bucket rob I may I,
like I said, I just know if Iget one you're gonna start
something.
I.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
I can't continue you don't have any right now?

Speaker 2 (30:14):
no, because that's I.
I told you I'm a collector, I'ma hoarder man.
If I get one, I'm gonna be likethat for the rest of the year.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Do it I have a good handful that I don't really do
anything with.
I'm looking around like theyhave some like random stuff in
there, but like I don't use themany.
I've never used any of mypopcorn buckets for popcorn,
like not even at home.
But that superman one I totallybought.
I definitely would use that forpopcorn.
Yeah, that looks sick.
Um, all right for those things.
For sticking around, for thelong intro, we're gonna be doing

(30:42):
two, two movies.
This episode it's been a minutesince we've done two episodes,
or two movies, um, one intheaters and then one streaming
at home that everyone can watchright now.
The one we're gonna start offwith first is a prime home video
, heads of state, starring johncena and eejit alba.
I going to dive deep into thisone because I just finished
watching this morning, and thenwe're going to finish the

(31:02):
episode with my quick review onI know what you did last summer
the sequel.
Um, yeah, so we're going totalk about I want to talk about
heads of state real quick forthose who don't know.
It's on prime right now.
It's when the uk prime ministerand the us president become
targets of a foreign adversity.
They are forced to rely on oneanother's thwart and globe
thwart to thwart.

(31:23):
A global conspiracy, john's I'm.
I love john cena, don't get mewrong.
He's playing the same characterevery these, all these movies.
Now he's getting very.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
He's, he's out, he's just above turning into the rock
because he still has deliveredsome really good performances.
Peacemaker saved him, like heactually showed range, depth,
all the fun things there.
I think this is like when youcall it a hired gun, like when
you have an actor you know, likeif you're looking for a john
cena, throw him in here, quickand easy process.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Keep it pushing I think the thing that people are
drawn to and like why studioslike well, amazon keeps hiring
him as like it's, it's the jokeon like he's delivering fast,
fast dialogue and also likesmart dialogue, but it's coming
from this man who's just allmuscles.
Basically it's silly in thatfact alone.

(32:19):
So I think that's why peoplelike are attracted to this,
because like he's, it's kind ofodd to see in that kind of place
.
Yeah, I also I'm going to startthe conspiracy theory that this
president, he's playing apresident in this one.
He's the same character fromricky's to nicky.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
I'm starting that conspiracy theory at the end of
the year, at the end of ricky atthe end of ricky, he and he
stays with his friends, whobecomes corporate and stuff like
that.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
He legally changed his name and everything like
that.
Yeah, playing a role likethat's not really his life, he's
, he's.
And then I'm gonna predictsomewhere between that movie and
this movie he went back toacting, he made it exactly and
then he became a president andlike, probably legally- changed.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Someone reached out to him.
They saw the news story.
They're like you know what,let's you.
You did really good methodacting.
Let's, let's get you on the bigscreen.
And he worked his way up yeah,he, I'm sorry that conspiracy,
we're there yeah, uh, aegis alba.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
It was an interesting pairing.
How did you feel when you heardthe announcement of them two
coming together?
I'm so confused I'm gonna lie.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Well, they were in suicide squad.
They were in suicide squadtogether and it made me laugh
that they're both in fast andfurious, but in different ways
hobs and shaw.
And then he's obviously dom'sbrother.
So I was like, yeah, I guessthey've crossed paths multiple
times.
Um, but I mean, yeah, I, Iwasn't.
It's like that Will Ferrellthing, like pair two, you know

(33:39):
two popular people up and see ifthey have any chemistry and
this this.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Prime is very good about making movies that you
should stream at home versusgoing to the theaters to see.
I was like I did not see thisneed to see this in the movie
theater.
It was funny, it was good, butI probably would have been.
I spent money tickets ontickets to go see it, you.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
You summed up my dude .
If I would have paid a dollar,I would have been pissed.
I would have been so upset thatI drove sitting at home.
I think I told you I had a fewdrinks.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Uh, totally different experience and this movie is a
good background movie.
I should say like it's.
It's.
There's a lot of politicsinvolved in it, but like I feel
like these, almost like baby youlike to spell it out Like uh,
when they were explaining whatNATO was to the little girl, I
was like NATO's a group offriends who get together to

(34:34):
stand up to the bullies.
I was like, yeah, some peopleneed possible with that, giving
it a little bit more complicatedstoryline.
Oh, for sure, and what say?
This was like the um well one,the humor, and also like um the
cool.
The action scenes were verycool, I'll give it that, but I
feel like you're using it as acrutch a lot versus for a good
story.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah, they um listen, they worked with what they had.
I think you also summed up likeprom is really good about
allocating the budget where itmakes sense.
They knew they weren't going toget some fancy writer that
could go in depth, but they knewthey could make one hell of an
explosion and they leaned intothat part of it.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
And the premise alone is ridiculous.
It's an actor becomingpresident, which is not unseen.
We even seen like people likeadvocating for the rock to
become like the president, stufflike that, absolutely arnold
schwarzenegger was governor ofan entire state.
Yes, becoming president, andthen he's also like he's just
having a meeting with primeminister and stuff goes down and
like they, they had to find away back home, basically without

(35:35):
getting killed, um, but oncethey're home they're still
fighting the bad guys.
I was like you don't have to dothis anymore.
You know you have like a wholesecurity team.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
I I don't tell you this, this is a bad movie.
But I there's a moment that Iwas watching this movie where I
realized that, similar to a fastand furious, I had to turn off
my brain If I, if I, if I keptusing logic, I was going to get
in a bad mood, like I felt thathappening.

(36:08):
So then, like I just sat backbecause, dude, every scene,
there's so many issues, even theAir Force one I was like it's
wrong about fighter jets at alltimes.
This would never happen.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
That's what.
That's what I was my firstthought.
That was my first.
I was like all right hey, hey,not that type of movie that I
just kind of just let it ridedude um, probably my favorite
joke in the whole movie is whenthey the plane gets crashed down
, the plane gets attacked andthey jump out of plane and john
cena gets stuck in the um treeand the agents album's character

(36:38):
throws a shoe at him, like, hey, you know what happened the
last time someone threw a shoeat our president.
That made me laugh out loud sohard for no reason.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
It was.
I forgot the pun because it wasgetting real wobbly at the end
of that movie.
But he says a pun at the end ofthe movie, like which was the
running bit that had me?
I out loud said it earns a goodrating for me.
Like that it crossed thethreshold.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
I, I, I like this movie um, I turned this movie on
thinking I started the wrongmovie, did you think?
I thought it was like an ad atfirst, because it opens like a
new story or something like that.
Yeah, by uh priyanka.
So, bro, jonas, nick j Jonas'wife in real life.
Yeah, I've seen her in rockcomedy before.
I thought she was an okayactress, but I really liked her

(37:25):
in this movie.
She was gorgeous.
She had great fight scenes.
She played that confident rolevery good, so good for her.
She definitely stood out to mein this role.
It's kind of odd seeing her asIdris Elba's love interest,
though I thought that was kindof a weird pairing.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
It was's one of the things.
I called it right when I rightwhen I saw it, I was like that's
gonna happen um, especiallybecause john cena was married in
.
You know, one plus one equalstwo.
Um, yeah, she, she was in thisreally great show called
quantico back in the day.
I like don't know what happenedto it.
It was.
That show was baller, um, soI'm very familiar like three,

(37:59):
two or three seasons deep withher work um, but outside of that
like yeah, I've seen her in afew things.
I've always thought she was cool.
I I was pleasantly surprised tosee her in this one I well, she
was also in baywatch.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
Um, she came out in a movie like two, uh two years
ago now.
It's called love again.
That was a pretty big rom-comfor that year.
I think it was very good onNetflix, if I'm not mistaken.
But I think Nick Jonas doesn'tmake a cameo in that one too,
but it was cool, oh, with thewhite elephant or like the.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah okay shewas like getting over a dead

(38:33):
boyfriend who's gonna be husbandand she starts receiving texts
from his old number and thensomebody else who uses that
information to make her fall inlove with him.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
I think that's kind of crazy yeah, yeah, but that's
the type of movie that, uh,netflix does work for so yeah,
yeah, um, I mentioned beforericky's to nikki and also will
ferrell's movie.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
you're cordially invited.
There's also like kristen dunstmovie, kristen kristen's movies
.
This definitely fits great inthose categories.
Like it's nothing, like I said,groundbreaking, it's nothing
original.
It is kind of original but it'skind of lame original.
But the chemistry between eachnovel and John Cena was pretty

(39:13):
good.
I would say like they had agood back and forth and they are
pros for a reason.
They, they, they were quickwith it.
They were quick going back andforth and I'm curious to see how
much they improvised, because Iknow they're both improvisers.
Aegis Alba is also aninteresting character.
I've always taken him as a veryserious actor growing up.
Now, like seeing a bunch ofinterviews, his podcast
appearance, this guy's just abig goofball.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Like he seems fun yeah he's a big goofy dude, he's
big cool like have you seenthem in the hot ones?
he's pretty funny yeah, oh yeah,that's like the third, like
highest clip.
He's like I'm gonna, like, I'mgonna fight you like, can you
fight, like I would.
You know, my guard's up on thatmoment.
And he also, like it was verycurious, he was doing an
interview and he said that he'snever watched the wire, which is
baffling to me because he'sphenomenal in there.

(39:58):
But you know, to each their own.
Um, yeah, dude, I they play totheir strengths.
John cena is that very goofy,like actually I think he's a
little bit more reserved in thisone like he's definitely like
got some over the top, but he'slike very, he's the grounded one
, he's like the passionate one.
And then, you know, interestelbows like the kind of grumpest
, like stop kidding around, likelike, and I think that worked

(40:21):
both uh well for both theircharacters um, but I'm kind of
worried that he just oboes alsothe same thing.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
He's getting the cast in the same roles all over
again, like the more serious oneand the more quick-witted, like
leadership kind of role.
Um, dude, I don't know, heplays a great villain.
I'll give him that too, but Imean that that movie lion last
year.
He was good in that too.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Beast, beast, yeah yeah, that movie was crazy.
And like the whole behind thescenes with his daughter, dude,
I can't take this man seriouslysince hobson shaw.
I'll say it because watchinghim two things one like actually
badass introduction whenthey're like who are you?
Quick one-liner, bad guy I was,oh my god.
And then the scene where he'slike genocide, schminicide,

(41:05):
little paycheck paid for his newguest house and like he's he's
not thinking that deep aboutthis one you know what movie I

(41:25):
like to think about when I thinkabout each is?

Speaker 1 (41:27):
alba is obsession with beyonce.
Oh, you remember that one thatwas a good one.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
I kind of want to go back and rewatch.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
That cracks me up, man yeah, yeah, um, I mean I
don't have too much to answer.
This whole movie like it'sdecent pacing.
I would give it that like, uh,there's one action scene like
maybe every 12 minutes.
I would say, yeah, yeah, uh,the the fighting scenes were
funny alone too.
Like there's a scene like whereguy loses a tooth.
You get the pov from inside hismouth through the missing tooth

(41:57):
.
That was pretty funny andclever.
Like it lines up perfectly withher head fitting in there.
Yeah, um, there's a lot offunny fight scenes.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
There's like a random surprise cameos in here too, or
one big one, I guess you cansay who are you thinking of?
Jack quake oh yeah, duh how canI forget about him?

Speaker 1 (42:14):
I like didn't market him at all.
I thought about that.
I was like I don't rememberseeing him in the trailers.
If they did show him, no, yeah,I didn't see him.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
But I was like, that's my boy, Novocaine.
I was so excited.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Because of Novocaine and his goofy acting choices in
the past.
I legit did not see that badasscoming from him.
I thought let's go get thismotherfucker.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
And I thought he was going gonna get killed instantly
as a joke.
But no, I was watching it.
Like I said, uh, that's what myfriend said, the same exact.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
I thought he was gonna die off the, off the rip
no, he was clever with it, hewas badass, and the only thing
that killed him was like like asecond of hesitation or
something like that.
Yeah, um, yeah, he was.
He was good, good for I washappy to see him.
I'm happy to see him anythinganymore like he's becoming one
of my.
This is the third, third filmwith him this year so, dude, you

(43:04):
want to talk about three moviesat one time.
Pedro pascal's in the theaterthree times next week.
He's gonna be for um, what'sthat movie we just reviewed?
Um eddington, no, eddington too, but um, oh, the, the rom-com
with chris evans.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Um, oh, uh, uh, it not, it's complicated, it's uh.
Oh, my god, I'm blanking dude,me too.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
Anyways, he's gonna be with that movie, eddington
and the fantastic four all whata big summer for this guy.
And eddington did not get thepress that it should have.
Like I'm hearing great reviewsabout it's gonna be a big, well
it's.
I think it's gonna be a greatstory, but no one goes to see it
kind of movie we talked aboutwe might still do again.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
It's a little bit um um artsy, like kind of gives you
like a little bit more wannabe.
Prestigious has a lot of bignames attached, like way too
many big names attached.
But no, it'll be good.
And it was called thematerialist.
I don't know why that thateluded me good.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Good, because I totally blinked on it too.
Um, we talked about like notdoing it on the podcast, but we
might go on on live, instagramlive or tiktok live.
When I talk about it real quick.
Um, that's gonna be on my list.
But pedro pascal huge summerfor him huge summer, huge career
.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
Do you think that we're going to get pedro, uh,
fatigue?
What do you mean?
Like, are we going to get tiredof seeing this?
Because, like we I don't knowwhere you got introduced with
him.
Game of thrones is the firsttime I saw him and loved him
right away.
But like again, from last of usto mandalorian, even though you
don't see his helmet, he'sstill there.

(44:44):
And then you see him in threemovies in three months and like,
he's working on all thesedifferent projects.
Like, is this sustainable?

Speaker 1 (44:53):
I don't think we're gonna get tired of him.
I think he's gonna get tired ofus.
I think he's gonna startslowing down, like being way
more specific about his roleshe's saying yes to everything,
man, as of right now.
As of right now, good for him,but like two or three years from
now, I bet you will see himonce every other year alright, I
think I need.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
I think um, I don't want to get into spoilers about
other things, like other moviesor stuff, but I think the thing
that is keeping him successfulfor better or worse, he's not in
them for a long time, like TVshows, like he'll do Mandalorian
, but he's only the voice.
So you're not reallyassociating him with that
character.
Like I don't associate him withJoel.

(45:32):
Like it takes me a minute tolike oh yeah, he was in that.
But I think when he's going toplay someone as impactful
impactful as reed richards, likehe's embodying that he's gonna
get like that's what he's gonnabe from now on.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
So if I see him take six, six more roles in the next
year and a half, I'm gonna be alittle bit peeved so I think
it's a very thin line if he Ifeel like that's one of his
strengths like versus, like tomcruise or robert downey jr, like
they have many different roles.
I'm always gonna source robiedowney jr with iron man.
Uh, johnny dove with captainjack sparrow.
There's not one specific thingI think of um pager pascal, like

(46:09):
I think he.
That's my point.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
He hasn't had that like big, like he's done a lot
of cool things, yeah, like,that's what I mean.
Like what is he on, if that'sall?
If I ask you, like, what do youknow him from?
It's, it's a lot of small.
He was in it for a few, maybe aseason, like I over martel.
He finally got people to stopcalling him that.
So now taking on this big ass,but you don't like that.

(46:31):
No, no, I think it's cool, okay, but I think that he's now
going to.
He's going to be our reedrichards from now on.
He just is like he's goodbecause he's going to this.
He's going to be in doomsday,he's going to be in secret wars,
like so to see him.
The main audience sees him likethis.
Everyone calls him this.
It's going to be hard to thenwatch him.
If he decides to pick upanother interesting character

(46:53):
like I will just know him fromthis.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Now is my, is my fear I think that's the same as I
think happened with RyanReynolds and Deadpool.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Like before before.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
Deadpool, he was well he was also he was also mostly
real answer, but he had, yeah,like I know him from like um,
just friends, you know, likesmall movies, like that.
But like then, what devil?
He's only devil.
Now he owns a soccer team.
For God's sake, he's stillDeadpool.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
That's Deadpool.
That's what I mean.
Like I think this is about tohappen to him and they're, and
they're framing it that way.
So I just think it's going tobe very interesting to see what
happens next.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
Yeah, I wouldn't believe you, but it's already
happening.
Like, like the materialist onlyasked him about fantastic for
this Eddington movie no one'sheard about, because fantastic
is for us coming out next weeklike he had movies at least two
weeks in a row.
That's crazy.
Yeah, this hasn't happenedsince?

Speaker 2 (47:43):
um, funny enough, uh, john uh, not burnthal um.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
Why am I blanking on his name?

Speaker 2 (47:50):
today's, not my day uh, the guy who plays thanos uh,
I know, john moe, god damn it,josh brolin josh brolin um, when
infinity war came out, thatthat was in theaters.
Sicario 2 was in the theatersand deadpool uh 2 was in the
theaters and he was like a maincharacter in all three.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
So that was the last time I can remember something
this like, like that happenedman we veered off way hard off
of um has a state can't let usget yapping bro dude, you know,
like you know, I'll end this onthis like it's a good movie to
have in, the perfect movie towatch at home, like that's like
a wednesday night or somethinglike that.
Um, I, I normally like to saylike it's a good watch with your

(48:34):
friends.
I don't think, I don't thinkthis is one of them.
This is maybe just one foryourself if you want something
in the background a little bit.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
Uh, like I said, I had some drinks with me and I
was, I had a good time, I waslaughing, we were pointing it
out, stuff.
So if you take it that way tohave fun, be responsible.
But uh, yeah, do not rush to gosee this, but it was dope and
I'll say this.
I'll say this sometimes it's amovie that reminds me like to
stop being so pretentious,because when I post it, I like

(49:03):
to always post like the uh titlecard of whatever movie I'm
watching.
Uh, I had like four or fivepeople snap me like oh, I love
this movie.
So, really, first I waswatching it, I was like really,
and then that's what I mean, Iturned off my brain.
I was like this is fun, manlike this is a fun.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
It is fun, I'll give it that it had a great
soundtrack too.

Speaker 2 (49:24):
Yeah, oddly, oddly great?

Speaker 1 (49:26):
Yeah, I think they a lot of.
Actually, in that sameinterview James Gunn we were
talking about like, uh, theyasked the question about the
soundtrack and in this one, andhe was hesitant about that, he
said not because he's known forthat in the guardians.
Well, mostly all of his movies,like the scooby-doo movies and
stuff like that suicide squad,um, a lot of people think they

(49:48):
use he uses a truck, uh, acrutch, but he doesn't in such a
way because he writes thosesongs into the movie, says like
he does, in such a way that it'sthe strength versus the crotch
which is perfect sense Go aheadno you got it, got it.
In this movie.
There's definitely a crotch tomake up for some scenes.
Yeah, it was a fun movie.

(50:09):
I would probably give this likesix out of ten.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
All right, we're right there.
I gave it a three.
That pun, which it's crazy thatI already forgot.

Speaker 1 (50:30):
I just I got up and I was screaming 3.5.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
I really I you can get me with a good pun man.
I think it was like three forme on a letter that's so fair
and reasonably.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
It's probably like a two, eight, but I'll let it
slide, you know, and then we'regonna go transition to a movie
that came out this past week,against.
It was a big week for movies isalso, but it was a big week for
movies is also.
But it was an interesting onebecause it's also that not sweet
, like the bitter spot betweensuperman and fantastic four, so
like what can fit in betweenthese two, because you got you
got to get the attention ofpeople to get away from superman
in this movie.

(50:54):
That's probably why eddingtonisn't doing so well, but
eddington, smurfs and I knowwhat you did last summer huge,
different, uh, categories.
What are you going to,eddington?
And we're gonna go see talk, wetalked about that.
Are you planning on seeingsmurfs?
um, probably not in theaterslike I'll for sure catch it you

(51:18):
know there was a there's othermovie reviewer that I talked to
on um, on um instagram a lot,and they were watching smurfs.
They didn't realize jamesgordon was attached to it.
They said they walked out afterfive minutes after hearing his
voice.
I was like I'm not a big fan ofum james gordon either because,
like it was his personal life.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
But first of all, I I want to go.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
That is deep.
I was like he had the popcornand everything and he grabbed a
beer.
I'm not planning on seeingSmurfs at all because that movie
looks horrible and I'm hearinghorrible reviews about it.
You also got to take a factit's a kid's movie.
But even if it's a kid's movie,at the point where you make a
movie so bad that you don'treally care, like you're just
trying to make visual effectslike for the kids, like be

(52:03):
distracted by yeah, so.
And then I heard rihanna's likeshe made music for it.
She had like one good song init, maybe, yeah, but I agree,
yeah, but she's also makingmusic for a kid's movie.
So yeah, um, and then we're,I'm, we're gonna, I'm gonna give
my mini review.
I know what you did last summer.
I know you're not a big horrormovie fan.
It's not even a horror movie.

(52:24):
I would say it's a slashermovie.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
There is a difference .
I will absolutely grant you.
There is a big difference.
Have you seen the originals?

Speaker 1 (52:32):
No, not at all, but you know the concept right.
Yeah, there's a group offriends that have a murder of
friends that have a murder.
They accidentally murdersomebody or something like that
manslaughter.
I would say they don't want toget in trouble.
So they keep make a pact thenext summer someone comes after
them who's attached to thatmurder.
I went to go see it opening dayme and only one other person in

(52:54):
the theater, but it was aThursday at a four o'clock
showing, so I'm assuming theTrevor ones are the bigger one
had more people in there.
I'm hoping at least um.
This movie is mostly, I wouldsay, 90, made for the nostalgia
okay.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Well, that's how the trailer kind of set it up to me
because it's exactly the same.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
It's exactly the same as the original ones, like just
a new murder and it'sridiculous, like you know.
Have you seen the screen movies, at least, yeah, the screen
five.
Screen five was better thanthis one and that movie wasn't
that great really.
Yeah, that's bold, okay, yeah,um, I don't want to give
spoilers on too much of like theending of who the actual killer
is, but it's like some of thescreen five, like it's exactly

(53:36):
who you think it is, for me atleast, I don't know.
It might be a twist for somepeople yeah um, it had a decent
soundtrack as a fun soundtrackat least too.
But I mean they for these kindof movies, they juice up the
music and like the music whenthey show the like the haunting
score when the killer was around, it did its job, it made the
sense more and it made the scenemore intense.

(53:57):
Um, I had like a bunch ofrandom like topics to and I was
kind of bummed you didn't see itbecause like a random scenes
that I wanted to pick at yourbrain.
Um, this movie opens up like awoman, like a little, not a
little girl, a woman probablyour age, getting ready to go to
her best friends.
Okay, she's getting ready to goto her best friend's wedding.

(54:21):
Is it wedding or engagementparty?
One of those two and she goes,she goes, visits them and, um,
that night they get drunk.
They go let's go watch thefireworks, because it's also
fourth of july and they're justthe part that pisses me off
about this scene.
First scene uh, they go, let'sgo watch the fireworks, like we

(54:41):
used in our old spot.
They drive to and they stop inthe middle of road, like on a
curvy road, to look at fireworkson the dock.
I was like you couldn't find anyother spot besides in the
middle of the road and like oneof the guys, guys who plays like
a jackass.
Um, he's like, oh, like, I'm inthe middle of the road, hope no
one hits me, basically, andthen someone swerves and falls
off the thing and then it waskind of an intense weird scene

(55:06):
because it's half off the cliffand so they're trying to get the
guy out of it but he'sunconscious in the car driver's
seat and then once the guy looksup who's next to the driver
door, he's like it's jammed, thedoor won't open.
The guy punches through theglass window, grabs onto the
guy's shirt and the guy kind ofpanics and he's, he takes it off
because it's a button up shirt.
He takes it off like a quickjacket.
I was like but they never talkabout that again Like what the

(55:29):
fuck was that?
It was weird, it had nothing todo with, like what happened in
the whole movie.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
And it never comes out.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
No, no.
All this, like most of thekillings, are the same in this
movie.
They have this giant hook.
Stupid reasoning is more areference for the originals.
I wrote the biggest note I havein there.
I'm tired we're going to do adraft of things.
We're tired of seeing movies doit opened up.
I hate when movies go.

(55:57):
Someone's coming back into town, which is the main character
coming back into town to standat her parents' old house house.
I hate when movies do this,like because I don't know how
real it is.
Um, they come back to their oldhigh school bedroom.
It's exactly the same, like noone's touched it.
They haven't.
They haven't not boxed up theirown stuff.
They haven't taken their oldstuff like apparently they leave
all their old clothes there.

(56:17):
I hate when they do that.
Do you have you heard anyonedoing that?

Speaker 2 (56:21):
I'd see that all the time I was actually just
watching a movie.
Or maybe there's a scene in thebear where like just goes back
to the.
But I actually like for sure,now that you've said it, like
it's gonna bother me.
But I was like man, I wish Icould have like a forever home
where I can just go back.
But you tell me you didn't putlike a box in there.
Even superman, that's what itwas.
Superman like his, hischildhood home is the exact same

(56:41):
.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
So we got the posters in there and everything yeah, I
guess you're right about that,but it pisses me off.
My just like my mom would notlet me leave my shit here.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
You know no, and I think maybe it dude, maybe it's
a culture thing, right, I guessthere is a theme of the of the
houses that do that, but butthat's really funny.

Speaker 1 (57:01):
And it's definitely a cultural thing.
Because this movie I wasthinking like 90% of the time I
was like this only happens towhite people.
Like this is like it kills me.
It kills me with some of thedecisions.
Like there's a point where thiswoman I can talk about this
because it's in the trailer likewhere the woman's new boyfriend
or husband gets killed whileshe's in the bathtub.
He gets killed while she's inthe bathtub.

(57:24):
He gets killed and um, shecomes down, discovers his body
is freaking the fuck out.
First of all, that guy did notdeserve to be killed.
He had nothing to do with amovie.
He wasn't even there when theygot killed, like it was.
It was like a whole year latershe met this guy and like, and
then, um, she takes, obviously,they go to the police station,
she goes home by herself.
I was like after that I waslike you, someone just came in

(57:46):
your house and attacked somebody.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
That's one of my big movie tropes.
I I hate that.
I hate that with them.
I hate that man.
You're not going back home.

Speaker 1 (57:55):
I don't care what the situation, you're not going
back home also the only peoplethat show up for her at the
hospital or police station,wherever they're at, to like
right after it happened, was thesame five friends from the year
before, like some of themaren't even talking anymore.
They all showed up there.
I was like your family isn'tgonna come check on you.
His family is gonna come.
Like what?
The?

Speaker 2 (58:12):
hell is that?

Speaker 1 (58:12):
yeah, um community pastor somebody yeah, there was
a whole misdirected was onecharacter that they set up to
like, oh, this is the killer,but it wasn't, and he ends up
dead for what reason, I have noidea.
It made no sense to me.
It was kind of weird.
Um, the whole scene, thecharacter choices, that movie
was weird.
The whole casting was weird.

(58:33):
Like there's a character where,like where the guy is obviously
antagonistic at the movie goingforward, like he plays a jerk
in this movie who thinks he's abadass.
I was like who's asking forthese kind of movies?
Like who's eating this shit up?
Who I'm so curious, like Idon't know.
And then the ending withnostalgia, like yeah, the two
characters come back from theoriginal.
Um, they were mostly there, asI, well, one of them and

(58:57):
jennifer love hewitt.
I feel like she came back asironic because it's almost like
she was talking about the moviedirectly.
Like who like this?
This?
No one's asking for this.
Basically, she says that in themovie, plain, plain.
I was like the nostalgia shitjust doesn't work anymore,
almost like talking to theaudience directly.
I was like why do you includethis?
Who is this for?

(59:17):
Like, what are you talkingabout?
And I also want to talk aboutthe name.
I know what you did last summer.
Long ass title because I wroteit down for my notes.
Like damn, like typing this outwas long shit.
But I do agree it's a goodtitle.
Just hearing the name I knowwhat you did last summer already
gets me engaged like, oh shit,what did they do last summer?
You know it's, it was genius, Iwould say.

(59:40):
But to name it, I know what youdid last summer with already a
movie called I know what you didlast summer.
It was kind of weird, I'msurprised the same franchise in
the same franchise and they haveI know what you did, uh, the
summer before or something likethat, and also something like
they had a couple movies similar, but I didn't like how they
just did the same exact titleand also make the same exact

(01:00:01):
movie, basically that's lazy,like you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
We talked about the ai shit.

Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
That is lazy as hell yeah, um, I think I gave like a
two and a half on letterbox,okay, but out of 10 I would
probably get a good five out of10 okay, my only question um
matt madeline klein.

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
How was she in this movie?
Let me see real quick I gottapull it up who she was madeline
klein, oh, I hated her no, Ihated her as a character or like
a character the character sheplays like a ditzy kind of
person, like uh, I, I lovemadeline klein and like she,
obviously, um, I think she'sfrom like outer banks um, but I

(01:00:47):
never seen that onion and youknow, she crushed it, she did
her job I haven't seen outerbanks, um, but she's listening
to stranger things, at least forone season.

Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
Um, we talked about like I need to watch more shows,
and I started making a list ofshows I need to watch because
I'm almost done with the bear.
I'm almost caught up with thebear, um, I think the only two I
have on there so far are, um,the white lotus.
I've never seen any of thatokay and what's the one we
talked about last time umseverance?
No, I've seen Severance hold on.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
I pulled up real quick and Ted Lasso yeah, that's
why it's on the list and you'reactually missing that, because
then you got to go from TedLasso to Shrinking and you got
an adventure ahead of you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
I started Shrinking.
I think I did see the firstseason and that one's a pretty
cool relaxing show wait tillseason two okay, okay.
Tenney ford is hilarious.
I like the action.
That will be too in that show.
The other therapist yeah, Ilove her so much.
She's a great.
She's also a voice actress.

(01:01:57):
I like to hear her voice too.
Um, she's good.
Um, other than that, fantasticfour is coming for us, dude,
galactus is coming.
Galactus is coming around thecorner.
If you come on the next episodeand you don't tell me you
bought a popcorn bucket, I'mgonna be kind of mad all right,
I'll think, listen, it may haveto happen, just for the plot,
just fuck around.

(01:02:17):
And get the 80 galactus one,just fuck around and get the $80
.
Galactus one.
That would have been so hard.
It's so cool, it is very cool,I do.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
I have like a shelf of helmets.
So I'm like in my head I waslike I could probably justify
that it's close enough.

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
It's huge and it lights up.
I wish it like made noise atleast.
Maybe I don't know, but yeah,I'm going for that kirby one for
sure.
I think that one's only like 30bucks or something, something
like that.
Um, by the grace of god, ifanyone listening to this wants
to donate a galactus bucket tous, that'll be tight.
That'll be tight.
Um, yeah, we're gonna.

(01:02:51):
We have some we just talkedabout before this episode um,
doing some interesting gamescoming up, so I can't wait to do
that.
I've been posting a lot moreclips on tiktok, so go ahead and
follow that, um, and follow ourinstagram page both of our
instagrams and, of course, ourletterbox.
And yeah, we're going to betalking about fantastic four.
