Battle Royale burst onto the global cinema scene in 2000, introducing the world to a disturbing vision of dystopian Japan where high school students are forced to fight to the death on a remote island. Two decades later, this cult classic continues to shock, disturb, and fascinate audiences worldwide.
Joined by our special guest and self-proclaimed "#1 Fan" Josh, we navigate the bloody corridors of this influential film that many argue laid the groundwork for everything from The Hunger Games to modern battle royale video games. The conversation quickly ignites into a heated debate about whether Battle Royale deserves recognition as the original "teens fighting to death" narrative or if comparisons to newer franchises diminish its unique vision.
Beyond plot comparisons, we dissect the film's most memorable survival scenarios. From questionable marksmanship (seriously, how did so many characters survive multiple gunshot wounds?) to the mechanics of those infamous explosive collars, we examine what worked, what didn't, and what simply defied logic. The lighthouse scene draws particular scrutiny as we question character motivations and missed survival opportunities throughout the deadly game.
What makes Battle Royale endure isn't just its shocking premise but its underlying commentary on generational conflict, government control, and human nature under extreme pressure. While the film doesn't shy away from brutal violence, it balances horror with surprising moments of dark comedy and poignant character development that elevate it beyond simple exploitation.
Whether you're a longtime fan of Japanese cinema or curious about the origins of the battle royale phenomenon that now dominates gaming culture, this episode offers fresh perspectives on a film that continues to influence popular culture more than twenty years after its release. Join us as we ask the ultimate question: in a Battle Royale scenario, would you fight, hide, form alliances, or simply jump off that cliff?

I don't think it holds up ifI'm being honest, that shit did
not bust any blocks.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Liars, liars.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
There's no busted blocks in the vicinity of that

That's the true metric.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
My fucking blocks remain intact.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
My blocks remain unbusted.
Wait, if you did War of theWorlds, who did Cooties?
Speaker 5 (07:19):

No you did War of the Worlds no.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Nope, I did Cooties no.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I think you did War of the Worlds because Alex did
Cooties, yeah, which means allthat hate goes on you now.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
TJ.
No, I'm pretty sure I did 1408.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
No, he did Because, yeah, you did Signs and then War

You didn't say laugh, I hatethat.
I found it funny you didn't saythat I liked.
Speaker 3 (08:42):

Let's talk about Battle.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Royale.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Let's talk about Battle Royale.
I don't give a fuck about thismovie, Dude.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
this movie was great.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Okay, really quick, we're almost done.
I want to go through one more,because this is an important one
the Day After Tomorrow, mid.
You loved it.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I did not love it.
We definitely did not.
The day after mid none of thosewere code black or tarp equals
map golden episodes.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
In my opinion, you called me out on two mid movies.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I'm just saying Survivor's Auction and Life of
Pi were your only good ones.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Me and Eric were cooking you know what we were
cooking, you know, you guys arereally like bending over and
sucking your own right here.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Hey, you know what I would say each other, but not
our own.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Standing Cartwheel 69 .
This is like pathetic.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Oh, I'm not going to lie, I was going to keep not
talking about the movie, but wecould talk about the movie, okay
, uh, I guess.
Well, since you're our guest,josh, do you want to lead the
conversation?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
What do you want to talk about, Josh?
Give us a synopsis.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Battle Royale is a movie about a bunch of kids that
have to kill each other.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
That's pretty much it .
I mean, I would believe it ifthat was the real synopsis.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
To the keen listener.
What you may have heard is youknow, it could have been Hunger
Games really, if you thoughtabout it, if I bleeped out
Battle Royale you would havejust thought we were talking
about Hunger Games.
Again, I hard disagree.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I mean if you take.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
If I bleeped out Battle Royale, you would have
just thought we were talkingabout Hunger Games again.
Yeah, exactly, okay, I harddisagree.
I mean, if you take theabsolute, most primal core
aspects of it, sure, All right,hold on, but literally
everything else about it.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
no, let's test that In a near future.
Japan, plagued by economiccollapse and rising youth
delinquency.
The government enacts theBattle Royale Act.
Rising youth delinquency thegovernment enacts the battle
royale act.
Each year, one junior highclass I don't like how they say
junior high class, but onejunior high school class is
randomly selected and sent to aremote island.
Their mission kill each otheruntil only one survives.
(10:56):
Now the reason why I say it'svery similar to the Hunger Games
students forced to kill eachother on an island.
Teens fight to the death in atelevised arena, Not necessarily
an island but Future Japanfuture US, exactly Dystopian
Japan, post-apocalyptic NorthAmerica.
(11:17):
The BR Act enforces fear ofyouth rebellion.
Capital uses games to suppressrebellion.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Yeah, Hunger Games.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Okay, yeah, it's, I mean, if you take it at its most
absolute, core aspect, sure,but I it's just a Japanese
version of Hunger Games.
Shuya Nanahara.
I think you could do that withevery zombie movie too, like you
could just say oh, this is justthis movie, because it's the
same core aspects of it.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Okay, but zombies are a genre, but not all the way
down to this.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
True, but that's like saying any zombie movie that's
like being like any zombie moviewith a virus instead of fungal
or bacterial or anything.
Any zombie movie with a virusinstead of fungal or bacterial
or anything.
Any zombie movie with a viruswhere a character gets bit is
the same exact movie.
It's not.
That's the genre.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
You gotta give us a lot more than that.
That would be like saying azombie movie.
That's a viral infection thattakes place in an underground
laboratory where an evilcorporation is building and
creating an entire bioweapon outof this virus.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
No, that's a lot of detail.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
That's fucking Resident Evil.
Yeah, that's Resident Evil, andResident Evil did that.
This is doing the same thing.
There's so many things that arethe same.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Literally.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Down to the hero Shuya.
Nahara is the reluctant fighter.
Fighter katniss everdeen wasthe reluctant fighter, now I do
know the ending is so different.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Ending is not at all different.
They just because she stretchedit out over fucking five books
does not mean that the ending isany.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I gotta hear your, I gotta hear your explanation for
the ending.
How is it?
How is it so, uh, not different?
I took the ending.
How is it so not different?
I took the ending to be verydifferent.
Yeah me too.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Okay, I mean I took the whole movie, but sure Two
people made it out.
That's the first Hunger Games,right, okay?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Well, three people made it out here though.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Two were alive at the end.
Two were alive at the end ofthe movie.
Three were alive.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
No, the other guy died.
He died after they escaped.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Eric brought this up earlier.
They fought against theestablishment.
Okay, she waited till bookthree to do that yes the main
guy who was in charge of all ofit had a weird obsession with
the main girl, true Snow Katniss.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I don't deny it, no, no, bro.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
He didn't have a major obsession with Katniss.
Okay, stop, hang on, hang on.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
No, because I wouldn't equatethe.
What were we?
What's the teacher's name?
The main bad guy?
Speaker 4 (14:00):
in this movie.
What's the teacher's name?
The main bad guy in this movie.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Yeah, kitano Kitano, yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I wouldn't equate him to Snow.
I would equate him to the GameMaster from Hunger Games.
If you're going to make that,comparison.
He's not Snow.
Snow is the government, whichwould be like the Japanese
government.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Okay, all right, I'm getting a little perspective
here.
If you're equating him to theGame Master, then I perspective
here.
If you're equating him to thegame master, then I can kind of
see why you think it's sodifferent, because I don't
equate this guy to the gamemaster at all.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
He's not the government.
He said he's.
No, it makes sense to run it.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Your argument is valid.
I can't.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I can't dispute that position, but I wasn't making
that comparison that's thecomparison that I'm seeing it as
, and I'm like I.
I get it in the sense that it'slike the government is making
these kids, uh, fight to thedeath, what so?
Here's what I don't understandabout this genre, I guess as a
whole, which is why kids.
I feel like that would be thehardest bill to enact, like it
(14:57):
would be so much easier toconvince a government to allow
or to force a group of adults tokill each other.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
To be fair, our government doesn't care about
kids dying.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah exactly Like prisoners.
So it's so strange that itshoots to kids.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Wait how TJ.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Repeat that.
No, I heard what you said.
I said our government doesn'tcare about kids dying so like
damn, but we didn't pass no billsaying that you have to.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
That's the thing.
The problem with our governmentis a lack of bills.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
You know we also have another problem with this movie
.
Is future dystopian Japan onthe track that they're on right
now?
They're not going to have kidsto kill a child through.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Their birth rate is really low.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
They're beyond extinction level.
To point out another thingthing this is very much like uh
squid game, also very squidgame-esque in a way.
Do you do?
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I never watched squid , never okay, all right that
that show I I hate that.
I've watched and enjoyed twoepisodes of it.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
No, so basically there's a front man, it's brutal
he's in charge of all thesepeople, these people go through.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Hang on.
Hang on, sorry, sorry.
Hang on.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Hang on, josh have you seen probably about half of
the first season, so would yousay that it's very similar.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I don't know.
Only one can survive at the endthat's such a basic premise,
though.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Only one can survive.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
We all knew that old man was the ringleader.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, Wait.
Are you talking about in SquidGames?
I didn't.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
If you look at certain parts of the games that
he's in.
He's never had shackles on him.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Oh, interesting.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
That would be such a key detail?
Is this the?
Speaker 4 (16:41):
same guy who, just in the most recent episode, was
screaming at the other person.
Why me?
Why do I keep the old man?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
the old man in the in the tug-of-war game was
different when they're doing thetug-of-war.
He, if you look very close, hedoes.
He's the only one in the linethat does not have handcuffs on
that's so interesting I'm I'mgonna be deemed a racist here
because I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I don't know the difference yeah, you can't tell
an old korean guy from a youngguy.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
He's the only.
He's the only one that's likein his 80s he's.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
He's old as fuck oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay,
all right, not the guy that Iwas talking about, right yeah,
yeah, I know if you look if youlook, if you look very close in
certain parts of the show wherethey have them handcuffed.
He's Wait, do we gotta give aspoiler alert?
This is the first season.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
No, no, it's been out for years.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
They're here.
Who the zombies?
I thought the gate would stopthem.
They knocked it down instantly.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
How much time do we have it down instantly?
How much time do we have?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
They're already here.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
We should have bought that beautiful Los Angeles
dream house in that safeneighborhood that Corinne showed
us.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I know it was so much more defensible and Corinne
would have had us moved inbefore the apocalypse.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Do you think it's too late to call her now?
I'll try.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
No, no, we should have called Corinne sooner.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Don't wait until it's too late.
Call Corinne Salas today at714-510-6443, and buy your Los
Angeles dream house now.
That's 714-510-6443.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Let's talk about the complete lack of survival and a
moment that just made me go Okay, the lighthouse.
Yep, what the fuck was that?
Speaker 5 (18:40):
What happened?
That was complete bullshit.
I don't know what the fuck thatwas.
What I had a thing about wasthat stupid girl that had a gun
to the other girl's head and itwas like oh my gosh.
I'm so defenseless now becauseyou have a taser.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yeah, she got tased and she dropped the gun.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
I don't know how that's supposed to be real tased
and she dropped the gun.
I don't know how that'ssupposed to be real, because if
she's standing there holding agun, to that girl and she gets
tased.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I think she'd pull the trigger body would clench.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
So how did she throw the gun away?
Also, did you see thecontinuity issue in there?
Oh, I did, I was watchingamazon, so it it comes up.
They had a major continuityissue right there.
The gun in the the beginning ofthat scene was a browning.
After it switches back andshows the taser, it's a uh 1911
(19:34):
oh, that's funny so they liketotally changed the gun didn't
notice, didn't care me either.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I mean it is interesting.
That's not what I mean.
I meant like I would.
That was not my concerns inthis movie.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
It didn't even dawn on me about that the fact that
they were still interrogatingabout killing each other.
In that scene you killed her.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
She had yeah, the whole fucking villain monologue.
I just just kill her, shut up,and that's what got her killed.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
I'm like that's such a classic mistake I had more
respect for those two who jumpedoff the cliff me too I was like
honestly, probably nobody triedto rip their like necklace off
beforehand yeah, nobody eventried.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Oh, I wanted to talk about this, sorry, really quick.
Do we think that would be aninstant death or do you think
you would feel that?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
for a little bit.
Right, because it's onlyblowing out Before you die.
It's only blowing out the frontof your throat, so it wouldn't
be an instant death.
You would literally be chokingon your own blood.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
It would only be seconds.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
But how fast, before your brain just shuts off and is
like nope, can't do that.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Well, because it would kill off both the carotid
and the.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
No, there wasn't that big of an explosion.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Carotid artery and the jugular vein.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
It would cut off both of them.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
And the amount of blood that came out.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I definitely think it would.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Think about how much blood if it tears out the trach
is like this in your neck, so itwould burst the bottom half
where it would still take about37 or like 40 seconds for you to
bleed out I think it's like.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I think it's like nine seconds but from the
carotid artery yeah, becauseslitting a throat is a thing
yeah and like you, die prettyfast if you tilt their head back
but what if you got like apiece of?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
yeah and shoved it right through, oh my god the the
under the collar about and thento pull it off to stop the
explosion oh
Speaker 1 (21:39):
yeah, I was with you, alex.
I was like what are you?
What kind of torture are yousuggesting?
Okay, I understand what you'resaying.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
This but everybody has the reverse bear trap from
Saw, oh man so headshots, youcan't get headshots, you just.
You know what I don't get.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
How could those kids be so smart to hack everything
else, but they couldn't fuckingget the the colors off oh, the
one guy disabled them.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
No, I know, but he's the one who it was.
It was the one at the end, butit was the ones that had the
entire system.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
They couldn't get those off.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
No, that was the one guy.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
The one guy that he said that figured out how to do
it was the one that survived atthe end.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Yeah, but there's the three dudes who did the hacking
.
Shut the whole system down.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Oh, it was three of them.
Yeah, that sounds bad.
I really thought it was one guy, but I genuinely just thought
it was one guy sounds bad.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I really thought it was one guy, but but I genuinely
just thought it was one guy.
No, there was three of them andthey were uh.
And then the fucking, the onedude, the exchange student who
shot him up after two of themwent to go get supplies, while
the third one got all thehacking yeah, okay, that's what
I thought.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, so one guy did all the hacking, the other two
were just like his assistants.
I think they did disable thecallers, though right, the one
guy like he disabled his own atleast and he showed um nanahara
and nakagawa how to disabletheirs even the, even the
teacher, the main bad guy waslike I know this doesn't do
anything.
After he clicked it he was likeI know you figured out how to
(23:12):
turn them off.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
That was the one that survived the last Battle Royale
, but we're talking about theone that got shot up.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Yeah, that was what was his name.
What was his name?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
The other exchange student, the other exchange
student, right, oh the crazy guy.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
He's the one that Kawada killed.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Which was ridiculous, because he got shot several
times in the movie nobody inthis movie had it knew how to
aim no, nobody in this movieknew how to aim at all.
Even from like three feet away,they were still missing.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
They were all stormtroopers I think I think
what's even more bizarre thanthat.
To me that's realistic because,remember, these are all kids,
right?
So that makes sense.
Most of them have probablynever shot a gun before.
But at the same time, I think ahigh schooler for sure could
easily miss 35 shots in asubmachine gun.
(24:02):
I remember when we went toVegas and we shot guns, they
handed me an MP5.
And they were like just pulldown the trigger, it has no
recoil, it's super easy.
The fuck, it has no recoil.
What the hell was they talkingabout?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
the guy, the guy who showed him how to shoot, was
like 200 pounds.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
He's like six, three 200 pounds and he's like there's
no recoil in it and, and likeme, it's an mp5 guy, it's a
submachine gun and it likepushed eric around hey, I
wouldn't say that, but like Icouldn't hold it steady, it was
recoil but what I'm saying is Icould see all these skinny
(24:40):
Japanese high schoolers notbeing able to control a gun.
I could see that easily.
What I don't understand aboutthis movie is the fact that
everybody is a fucking bulletsponge oh, they could just take
8, 9, 10 shots.
I could just take, or like nine,ten shots dude, they would, I,
I could, I could understand twoor three shots, but they're
taking like eight shots and thenstill standing back up to shoot
(25:02):
back no, you're not what.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
He got up to fucking answer a phone call and now that
was funny yeah, I thought theywere gonna pull, like a saw.
Yeah that scene.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I laughed Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous Mostly
because, like I looked away forhalf a second to do something
and I turn back and I see himsitting on the couch and I was
like what the?
I didn't even see him get up.
I was like what the fuck justhappened.
I just kind of accepted itbecause that's kind of how this
movie is, to be honest, and Ijust accepted.
I was like I guess he's aliveagain.
(25:33):
And then he died on the couchand I was like I guess he's dead
, he again he put, he put thelast cookie in his mouth and he
died to do a whole bunch ofother shit.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
I had to.
I had to do other stuff.
While I was watching this, theone thing that I was really um
lacking on was he had picked upgrenades when the the the real
bad guy, kiriyama.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Uh, he went and picked up grenades and I didn't
see enough like use of that typeof munitions grenades yeah,
explosives yeah because clearlythey had more than just those
three yeah yeah, when he, whenhe got that, got that kid got
his head chopped off with thekatana yeah, and then he fucking
put the grenade in his mouthand then they it was.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
It was like 30 seconds right before it went off
always, always I missed that,did you?
Speaker 4 (26:22):
well, it's always a katana.
There's always a katana deaththere has to be.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I saw him, I saw him jump from above with the katana
and then I heard the slicing.
I did not realize that he put agrenade in his mouth, because
it I guess it did take like 30seconds, because I thought that
explosion was completelyseparate from that event he
stuck the grenade in the guys inthe kid's mouth and he threw
the head through the window yeah, oh, shoot, yeah.
(26:48):
No, I did not catch that headgrenade aren't grenades like
three seconds?
Speaker 5 (26:52):
I thought it was like 17 seconds.
Let me look at.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Oh, it's probably longer than three, but I don't
think it's that long.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
I think it's under 10 , but like you could pull the
pin and hold the trigger still,but as soon as you let go of the
the trigger four to fiveseconds okay, four to five
seconds.
Okay.
So four to five seconds, okay,yeah, so not that long no, not
at all.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
I feel like.
I feel like that should belonger.
Hear me out.
We're putting people in danger.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
What's a standard Japanese grenade timer?
Well, I think we can all agreethere's a lot wrong with this
movie, but it was a movie.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
One of my favorite movies.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
One of your favorite movies.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Yeah, I'm adding this to the favorite movie list.
It's not fucking top one,probably not even top 10, but I
feel like I'll put this at likea 84 in my top hundred.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
No, no, no you gotta, you gotta go, you gotta go
lower than that.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
If this is 84, I feel like you've only seen 84 movies
.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Nah, dude, this is yeah, no, this is a great movie.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
No, I think you've seen 85.
Number 85 is Zombies.
At the Beginning, that's it.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Exactly, that's not even on the fucking 100 list.
What are you talking about?
My top movie of all time isInterstellar.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Bullshit Zombies at the Beginning for TJ is like
number two.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Well, with that, this was an okay movie.
It was a movie it was a movie,an okay movie.
Speaker 4 (28:12):

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Battle Royale.
Oh, we got to finish thesentence.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
From 2001.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
From 2000,.
Actually.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Oh wait.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I think it was released in Japan in 2000.
And then 2001,.
It was released in the rest ofthe world.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
That's all some really interesting facts, TJ,
but we haven't introduced ourother co-host.

I wish I had TJ's voicemanipulator, I totally I'm 84.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I have three kids and I am ready to mingle and no

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Does that mean she's still a MILF?
Speaker 2 (02:25):

You should know this.
Tj and I won the season.
We tied Technically.
If we're being real, I shouldhave won.
No, technically if we're beingreal, I should have won because
(03:04):
I forgot to count the lastseason point.
That I won, yeah, but it was asingle point, so every win of an
episode counts for three points, while the loser gets one.
I got it from Josh.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
It's a single point.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, but it's only a single point Every win is worth
three season points.
So if you count my ten naturalwins because Josh never fucking
gave me a season point, Never Ihave have 30 help me out.
You won like seven and then youwon six.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
That was mid, that was very mid.
Uh, you did, did you do?

that you tj?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
that one might have been a tj I feel like that was a
.
Tj movie.
That one might have been a TJmovie.
I feel like that was a TJ movie.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
You did.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
War of the.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Worlds.
Speaker 2 (06:48):

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Oh fuck off.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, I can't lie.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Epic fucking blockbuster.
You fucking assholes.
I don't think it holds up ifI'm being honest, that shit did
not bust any blocks.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Liars, liars.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
There's no busted blocks in the vicinity of that
fucking movie Liars that didn'tbust any of my blocks.
That's the true metric.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
My fucking blocks remain intact.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
My blocks remain unbusted.
Wait, if you did War of theWorlds, who did Cooties?
Speaker 5 (07:19):
He did, I did Cooties .
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I did oh no TJ did War of the Worlds.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
No you did War of the Worlds no.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Nope, I did Cooties no.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I think you did War of the Worlds because Alex did
Cooties, yeah, which means allthat hate goes on you now.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
TJ.
No, I'm pretty sure I did 1408.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
No, he did Because, yeah, you did Signs and then War
of the Worlds was next.
But I feel like you did War ofthe Worlds because I was
watching the bad version and Iwas telling you I was like this
movie sucks.
Let's just, let's see,regardless.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
But I definitely did Cooties.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Because then TJ did Castaway.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Very special, as I say, every fucking episode very
special.
How marvelous A 2005 film.
I am the host of war of theworlds.
Therefore, it is not mid.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Wow, great movie, fantastic I don't know, I still
call that it was me okay, alexdid cooties, it was all right

You didn't say laugh, I hatethat.
I found it funny you didn't saythat I liked.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
It is my name what I said.
I definitely didn't say loved.
Let's talk about Battle.

Pi were your only good ones.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Me and Eric were cooking you know what we were
cooking, you know, you guys arereally like bending over and
sucking your own right here.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Hey, you know what I would say each other, but not
our own.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Standing Cartwheel 69 .
This is like pathetic.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Oh, I'm not going to lie, I was going to keep not
talking about the movie, but wecould talk about the movie, okay
, uh, I guess.
Well, since you're our guest,josh, do you want to lead the
conversation?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
What do you want to talk about, Josh?
Give us a synopsis.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Battle Royale is a movie about a bunch of kids that
have to kill each other.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
That's pretty much it .
I mean, I would believe it ifthat was the real synopsis.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
To the keen listener.
What you may have heard is youknow, it could have been Hunger
Games really, if you thoughtabout it, if I bleeped out
Battle Royale you would havejust thought we were talking
about Hunger Games.
Again, I hard disagree.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I mean if you take.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
If I bleeped out Battle Royale, you would have
just thought we were talkingabout Hunger Games again.
Yeah, exactly, okay, I harddisagree.
I mean, if you take theabsolute, most primal core
aspects of it, sure, All right,hold on, but literally
everything else about it.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
no, let's test that In a near future.
Japan, plagued by economiccollapse and rising youth
delinquency.
The government enacts theBattle Royale Act.
Rising youth delinquency thegovernment enacts the battle
royale act.
Each year, one junior highclass I don't like how they say
junior high class, but onejunior high school class is
randomly selected and sent to aremote island.
Their mission kill each otheruntil only one survives.
(10:56):
Now the reason why I say it'svery similar to the Hunger Games
students forced to kill eachother on an island.
Teens fight to the death in atelevised arena, Not necessarily
an island but Future Japanfuture US, exactly Dystopian
Japan, post-apocalyptic NorthAmerica.
(11:17):
The BR Act enforces fear ofyouth rebellion.
Capital uses games to suppressrebellion.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Yeah, Hunger Games.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Okay, yeah, it's, I mean, if you take it at its most
absolute, core aspect, sure,but I it's just a Japanese
version of Hunger Games.
Shuya Nanahara.
I think you could do that withevery zombie movie too, like you
could just say oh, this is justthis movie, because it's the
same core aspects of it.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Okay, but zombies are a genre, but not all the way
down to this.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
True, but that's like saying any zombie movie that's
like being like any zombie moviewith a virus instead of fungal
or bacterial or anything.
Any zombie movie with a virusinstead of fungal or bacterial
or anything.
Any zombie movie with a viruswhere a character gets bit is
the same exact movie.
It's not.
That's the genre.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
You gotta give us a lot more than that.
That would be like saying azombie movie.
That's a viral infection thattakes place in an underground
laboratory where an evilcorporation is building and
creating an entire bioweapon outof this virus.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
No, that's a lot of detail.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
That's fucking Resident Evil.
Yeah, that's Resident Evil, andResident Evil did that.
This is doing the same thing.
There's so many things that arethe same.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Literally.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Down to the hero Shuya.
Nahara is the reluctant fighter.
Fighter katniss everdeen wasthe reluctant fighter, now I do
know the ending is so different.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Ending is not at all different.
They just because she stretchedit out over fucking five books
does not mean that the ending isany.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I gotta hear your, I gotta hear your explanation for
the ending.
How is it?
How is it so, uh, not different?
I took the ending.
How is it so not different?
I took the ending to be verydifferent.
Yeah me too.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Okay, I mean I took the whole movie, but sure Two
people made it out.
That's the first Hunger Games,right, okay?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Well, three people made it out here though.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Two were alive at the end.
Two were alive at the end ofthe movie.
Three were alive.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
No, the other guy died.
He died after they escaped.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Eric brought this up earlier.
They fought against theestablishment.
Okay, she waited till bookthree to do that yes the main
guy who was in charge of all ofit had a weird obsession with
the main girl, true Snow Katniss.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I don't deny it, no, no, bro.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
He didn't have a major obsession with Katniss.
Okay, stop, hang on, hang on.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
No, because I wouldn't equatethe.
What were we?
What's the teacher's name?
The main bad guy?
Speaker 4 (14:00):
in this movie.
What's the teacher's name?
The main bad guy in this movie.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Yeah, kitano Kitano, yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I wouldn't equate him to Snow.
I would equate him to the GameMaster from Hunger Games.
If you're going to make that,comparison.
He's not Snow.
Snow is the government, whichwould be like the Japanese
government.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Okay, all right, I'm getting a little perspective
here.
If you're equating him to theGame Master, then I perspective
here.
If you're equating him to thegame master, then I can kind of
see why you think it's sodifferent, because I don't
equate this guy to the gamemaster at all.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
He's not the government.
He said he's.
No, it makes sense to run it.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Your argument is valid.
I can't.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I can't dispute that position, but I wasn't making
that comparison that's thecomparison that I'm seeing it as
, and I'm like I.
I get it in the sense that it'slike the government is making
these kids, uh, fight to thedeath, what so?
Here's what I don't understandabout this genre, I guess as a
whole, which is why kids.
I feel like that would be thehardest bill to enact, like it
(14:57):
would be so much easier toconvince a government to allow
or to force a group of adults tokill each other.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
To be fair, our government doesn't care about
kids dying.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah exactly Like prisoners.
So it's so strange that itshoots to kids.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Wait how TJ.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Repeat that.
No, I heard what you said.
I said our government doesn'tcare about kids dying so like
damn, but we didn't pass no billsaying that you have to.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
That's the thing.
The problem with our governmentis a lack of bills.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
You know we also have another problem with this movie
.
Is future dystopian Japan onthe track that they're on right
now?
They're not going to have kidsto kill a child through.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Their birth rate is really low.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
They're beyond extinction level.
To point out another thingthing this is very much like uh
squid game, also very squidgame-esque in a way.
Do you do?
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I never watched squid , never okay, all right that
that show I I hate that.
I've watched and enjoyed twoepisodes of it.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
No, so basically there's a front man, it's brutal
he's in charge of all thesepeople, these people go through.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Hang on.
Hang on, sorry, sorry.
Hang on.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Hang on, josh have you seen probably about half of
the first season, so would yousay that it's very similar.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I don't know.
Only one can survive at the endthat's such a basic premise,
though.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Only one can survive.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
We all knew that old man was the ringleader.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, Wait.
Are you talking about in SquidGames?
I didn't.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
If you look at certain parts of the games that
he's in.
He's never had shackles on him.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Oh, interesting.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
That would be such a key detail?
Is this the?
Speaker 4 (16:41):
same guy who, just in the most recent episode, was
screaming at the other person.
Why me?
Why do I keep the old man?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
the old man in the in the tug-of-war game was
different when they're doing thetug-of-war.
He, if you look very close, hedoes.
He's the only one in the linethat does not have handcuffs on
that's so interesting I'm I'mgonna be deemed a racist here
because I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I don't know the difference yeah, you can't tell
an old korean guy from a youngguy.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
He's the only.
He's the only one that's likein his 80s he's.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
He's old as fuck oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay,
all right, not the guy that Iwas talking about, right yeah,
yeah, I know if you look if youlook, if you look very close in
certain parts of the show wherethey have them handcuffed.
He's Wait, do we gotta give aspoiler alert?
This is the first season.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
No, no, it's been out for years.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
They're here.
Who the zombies?
I thought the gate would stopthem.
They knocked it down instantly.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
How much time do we have it down instantly?
How much time do we have?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
They're already here.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
We should have bought that beautiful Los Angeles
dream house in that safeneighborhood that Corinne showed
us.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I know it was so much more defensible and Corinne
would have had us moved inbefore the apocalypse.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Do you think it's too late to call her now?
I'll try.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
No, no, we should have called Corinne sooner.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Don't wait until it's too late.
Call Corinne Salas today at714-510-6443, and buy your Los
Angeles dream house now.
That's 714-510-6443.
You can also find her onInstagram at nexthomebycorinne,
or visit her website atcorinnesalasnexthomegrandviewcom
(18:21):
, or visit our website atcorinnesalisnexthomegrandviewcom
.
That's C-O-R-I-N-N-E-S-A-L-A-Sdot.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Let's talk about the complete lack of survival and a
moment that just made me go Okay, the lighthouse.
Yep, what the fuck was that?
Speaker 5 (18:40):
What happened?
That was complete bullshit.
I don't know what the fuck thatwas.
What I had a thing about wasthat stupid girl that had a gun
to the other girl's head and itwas like oh my gosh.
I'm so defenseless now becauseyou have a taser.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yeah, she got tased and she dropped the gun.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
I don't know how that's supposed to be real tased
and she dropped the gun.
I don't know how that'ssupposed to be real, because if
she's standing there holding agun, to that girl and she gets
tased.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I think she'd pull the trigger body would clench.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
So how did she throw the gun away?
Also, did you see thecontinuity issue in there?
Oh, I did, I was watchingamazon, so it it comes up.
They had a major continuityissue right there.
The gun in the the beginning ofthat scene was a browning.
After it switches back andshows the taser, it's a uh 1911
(19:34):
oh, that's funny so they liketotally changed the gun didn't
notice, didn't care me either.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I mean it is interesting.
That's not what I mean.
I meant like I would.
That was not my concerns inthis movie.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
It didn't even dawn on me about that the fact that
they were still interrogatingabout killing each other.
In that scene you killed her.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
She had yeah, the whole fucking villain monologue.
I just just kill her, shut up,and that's what got her killed.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
I'm like that's such a classic mistake I had more
respect for those two who jumpedoff the cliff me too I was like
honestly, probably nobody triedto rip their like necklace off
beforehand yeah, nobody eventried.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Oh, I wanted to talk about this, sorry, really quick.
Do we think that would be aninstant death or do you think
you would feel that?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
for a little bit.
Right, because it's onlyblowing out Before you die.
It's only blowing out the frontof your throat, so it wouldn't
be an instant death.
You would literally be chokingon your own blood.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
It would only be seconds.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
But how fast, before your brain just shuts off and is
like nope, can't do that.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Well, because it would kill off both the carotid
and the.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
No, there wasn't that big of an explosion.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Carotid artery and the jugular vein.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
It would cut off both of them.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
And the amount of blood that came out.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I definitely think it would.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Think about how much blood if it tears out the trach
is like this in your neck, so itwould burst the bottom half
where it would still take about37 or like 40 seconds for you to
bleed out I think it's like.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I think it's like nine seconds but from the
carotid artery yeah, becauseslitting a throat is a thing
yeah and like you, die prettyfast if you tilt their head back
but what if you got like apiece of?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
yeah and shoved it right through, oh my god the the
under the collar about and thento pull it off to stop the
explosion oh
Speaker 1 (21:39):
yeah, I was with you, alex.
I was like what are you?
What kind of torture are yousuggesting?
Okay, I understand what you'resaying.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
This but everybody has the reverse bear trap from
Saw, oh man so headshots, youcan't get headshots, you just.
You know what I don't get.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
How could those kids be so smart to hack everything
else, but they couldn't fuckingget the the colors off oh, the
one guy disabled them.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
No, I know, but he's the one who it was.
It was the one at the end, butit was the ones that had the
entire system.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
They couldn't get those off.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
No, that was the one guy.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
The one guy that he said that figured out how to do
it was the one that survived atthe end.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Yeah, but there's the three dudes who did the hacking
.
Shut the whole system down.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Oh, it was three of them.
Yeah, that sounds bad.
I really thought it was one guy, but I genuinely just thought
it was one guy sounds bad.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I really thought it was one guy, but but I genuinely
just thought it was one guy.
No, there was three of them andthey were uh.
And then the fucking, the onedude, the exchange student who
shot him up after two of themwent to go get supplies, while
the third one got all thehacking yeah, okay, that's what
I thought.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, so one guy did all the hacking, the other two
were just like his assistants.
I think they did disable thecallers, though right, the one
guy like he disabled his own atleast and he showed um nanahara
and nakagawa how to disabletheirs even the, even the
teacher, the main bad guy waslike I know this doesn't do
anything.
After he clicked it he was likeI know you figured out how to
(23:12):
turn them off.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
That was the one that survived the last Battle Royale
, but we're talking about theone that got shot up.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Yeah, that was what was his name.
What was his name?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
The other exchange student, the other exchange
student, right, oh the crazy guy.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
He's the one that Kawada killed.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Which was ridiculous, because he got shot several
times in the movie nobody inthis movie had it knew how to
aim no, nobody in this movieknew how to aim at all.
Even from like three feet away,they were still missing.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
They were all stormtroopers I think I think
what's even more bizarre thanthat.
To me that's realistic because,remember, these are all kids,
right?
So that makes sense.
Most of them have probablynever shot a gun before.
But at the same time, I think ahigh schooler for sure could
easily miss 35 shots in asubmachine gun.
(24:02):
I remember when we went toVegas and we shot guns, they
handed me an MP5.
And they were like just pulldown the trigger, it has no
recoil, it's super easy.
The fuck, it has no recoil.
What the hell was they talkingabout?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
the guy, the guy who showed him how to shoot, was
like 200 pounds.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
He's like six, three 200 pounds and he's like there's
no recoil in it and, and likeme, it's an mp5 guy, it's a
submachine gun and it likepushed eric around hey, I
wouldn't say that, but like Icouldn't hold it steady, it was
recoil but what I'm saying is Icould see all these skinny
(24:40):
Japanese high schoolers notbeing able to control a gun.
I could see that easily.
What I don't understand aboutthis movie is the fact that
everybody is a fucking bulletsponge oh, they could just take
8, 9, 10 shots.
I could just take, or like nine,ten shots dude, they would, I,
I could, I could understand twoor three shots, but they're
taking like eight shots and thenstill standing back up to shoot
(25:02):
back no, you're not what.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
He got up to fucking answer a phone call and now that
was funny yeah, I thought theywere gonna pull, like a saw.
Yeah that scene.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I laughed Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous Mostly
because, like I looked away forhalf a second to do something
and I turn back and I see himsitting on the couch and I was
like what the?
I didn't even see him get up.
I was like what the fuck justhappened.
I just kind of accepted itbecause that's kind of how this
movie is, to be honest, and Ijust accepted.
I was like I guess he's aliveagain.
(25:33):
And then he died on the couchand I was like I guess he's dead
, he again he put, he put thelast cookie in his mouth and he
died to do a whole bunch ofother shit.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
I had to.
I had to do other stuff.
While I was watching this, theone thing that I was really um
lacking on was he had picked upgrenades when the the the real
bad guy, kiriyama.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Uh, he went and picked up grenades and I didn't
see enough like use of that typeof munitions grenades yeah,
explosives yeah because clearlythey had more than just those
three yeah yeah, when he, whenhe got that, got that kid got
his head chopped off with thekatana yeah, and then he fucking
put the grenade in his mouthand then they it was.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
It was like 30 seconds right before it went off
always, always I missed that,did you?
Speaker 4 (26:22):
well, it's always a katana.
There's always a katana deaththere has to be.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I saw him, I saw him jump from above with the katana
and then I heard the slicing.
I did not realize that he put agrenade in his mouth, because
it I guess it did take like 30seconds, because I thought that
explosion was completelyseparate from that event he
stuck the grenade in the guys inthe kid's mouth and he threw
the head through the window yeah, oh, shoot, yeah.
(26:48):
No, I did not catch that headgrenade aren't grenades like
three seconds?
Speaker 5 (26:52):
I thought it was like 17 seconds.
Let me look at.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Oh, it's probably longer than three, but I don't
think it's that long.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
I think it's under 10 , but like you could pull the
pin and hold the trigger still,but as soon as you let go of the
the trigger four to fiveseconds okay, four to five
seconds.
Okay.
So four to five seconds, okay,yeah, so not that long no, not
at all.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
I feel like.
I feel like that should belonger.
Hear me out.
We're putting people in danger.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
What's a standard Japanese grenade timer?
Well, I think we can all agreethere's a lot wrong with this
movie, but it was a movie.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
One of my favorite movies.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
One of your favorite movies.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Yeah, I'm adding this to the favorite movie list.
It's not fucking top one,probably not even top 10, but I
feel like I'll put this at likea 84 in my top hundred.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
No, no, no you gotta, you gotta go, you gotta go
lower than that.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
If this is 84, I feel like you've only seen 84 movies
.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Nah, dude, this is yeah, no, this is a great movie.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
No, I think you've seen 85.
Number 85 is Zombies.
At the Beginning, that's it.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Exactly, that's not even on the fucking 100 list.
What are you talking about?
My top movie of all time isInterstellar.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Bullshit Zombies at the Beginning for TJ is like
number two.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Well, with that, this was an okay movie.
It was a movie it was a movie,an okay movie.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
