Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hey everyone, Welcome to the Buck Brief. This episode, our
special guest is Matthew Marsden, actor and filmmaker. You will
know him, no doubt, from Blackhawk Down, which I have
heard described by some of the most elite special operators
of all time as the most accurate war movie they've
(00:41):
ever seen, so at least modern war movie they've ever seen.
Also from Rambo, the most recent Rambo movie with Sebesi Sterlone,
as well as other films out there. Oh, the of
course Atlas Shrugged. Right, weren't you in the Atlas Shrugged
as well?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I was.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Man. How's it going, dude?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
How's life in Texas with your with your like fifty kids?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Tell me what's going on?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
No, it's great. I mean I love it here. You know,
the state is amazing. It feels it feels like freedom
every day. You know. That's the great thing. It feels
like freedom. And I don't have to like dodge homeless
people in the streets. Yeah, so that's that.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
It's always I'm guessing you haven't missed La living all
that much.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
No, you know, I miss I miss my friends out there.
Although you know, nine families from my community moved out here,
you know, from my close community moved out here, so
they all moved to this area. But apart from that,
now I don't miss it at all. I mean, it's
it's really it's it's quite something. You really you don't
realize how actually oppressive it is, you know, until you
(01:52):
until you get out of it.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You've never met you've never met my dog, Hey, ginger,
come here, let's see if on the podcast here for
a second.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
I guess people can only see her.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
They won't be able to hear her unless she starts barking,
which would be bad.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Do you have any dogs?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I don't, you know. I have kids. I always say that,
you know, a clean up enough poop every day from
that from them. But we did recently have an acquisition
of rabbits.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
You have under that.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
She's under my desk right now and now she's eating
my feet because she's a puppy.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Ow.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But you've got rabbits. What are rabbits like as a pet?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Well, you can always eat themless it goes wrong, right,
I mean that's the bonus. But they're actually really sweet.
They leave these lop eared rabbits and they just kind
of sit down. They look fluffy, and that's about it.
And that's what I wanted. I didn't want anyone like,
you know, like I said, my kids cause enough terror
and chaos in this house for me to have, you know,
throw an animal in the mix. That would just be
(02:52):
not very smart at all. So so yeah, I'm just
just kids.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
So see, I have an Australia. I have an Australian Labradoodle,
so I would like to think that she has a
cool accent like you, even though technically she was born
in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
So right, Yeah, a lot of people don't realize that
was Australian Shepherds are actual the American dogs. But you know,
my sister has like a double doodle I think it's called,
and it does look like a giant toy, like a
giant like kind of animated toy. It's amazing, good looking dog.
(03:28):
But yeah, I had a Rottweiler a few years ago
because that was in my family. While he was in
my family, but it's it's just not practical with all
these kids. You know, like I said, they cause enough.
You know, I always say that my kids should actually
be drafted into the army because it'd be great to
have like the Marsden Battalion and just drop them into
areas where they can just destroy stuff, you know, just
(03:52):
come in, just wreck the place. And my kids are
really good at doing that.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
We have the have you seen the new Star Wars
lady who is going to be directing and what I'm
talking about, and she has got this thing about how
she wants to make men uncomfortable. Tell me what is
your what is your analysis of how Disney can risk
even one of the most valuable franchises they have.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Well, I think part of the issue is people don't
understand like how deep the indoctrination goes, right, how deep
it is. Part of the issue is they have absolute
contempt for the audience, which in any other area, any
of the sphere, you'd be in a situation where you
(04:38):
would never ever say anything like that. I mean, can
you imagine like Nike coming out I mean, I know
they did it kind of with a kaepenic thing, but
can you imagine someone coming out and saying, hey, listen,
I want you to feel uncomfortable. And the funny thing
is is the majority of people to watch those movies
as well a men or at least boys, right, And
so what you've got is identity politics just destroys everything.
(05:02):
I know, you know that, but I mean, look, when
I very first came into the entertainment industry, one of
the main things that I was told, and I knew
it anyway, because it's just common sense, is don't alienate
your audience, right, don't go out there and give them
any excuse not to like you and so and look,
you know if the left haad and come for me,
I would never have said anything as an aptit to
(05:23):
kept a down low, you know, kept on the download,
because you don't want to alienate people. What they're doing
all the time, they show contempt. It's so weird. And
this is what I've been saying to a lot of
conservative don is it's actually an opportunity because they're not
making good movies anymore. They're not making movies that have
(05:45):
really great storylines with anyone, with things that characters can overcome, right,
which is that the old you know, the tried and
tested a model for stories on the whole. You know,
you have a person there's to have become these obstacles
and then they become better for it. Well, what Disney
(06:06):
has done, Disney, Marvel and Star Wars underneath that banner
is all they have now is a bunch of girl
bosses that are just perfect in every way, shape or
form and way better than men. And they don't overcome anything,
they don't learn anything, they don't move forward. They're not
better for it. They're just massively overpowered. And part of
the reason buck is they're doing diversity hires, right, They're
(06:30):
not hiring people because they're good anymore. It shouldn't matter, right,
it shouldn't matter how good. And you know, people say,
well she won like that particular director one two short
documentary Oscars, Well, let me tell you I've made two documentaries.
I produced one and the other one that it didn't
end up going out is they're two very very different
(06:50):
animals to motion pictures. Right. So, but you have to
ask yourself, why are they hiring these people? And why
wouldn't you fire someone that will come out and say
I want men to feel uncomfortable as a human being.
Why would you want that anyway? But why would you
want to filmmaker to do that. I don't understand it.
(07:12):
I don't understand number one on a business level and
number two on an actual personal level. Why would you
so imagine you're an actor. They're going to be male
actors in this film. And that woman just turned around
and said, I want men to feel uncomfortable. So the
actors are they're going to feel like, oh no, no,
not then, because they're special. Okay, what about the cinematographer
(07:34):
as well? No, not then. Okay, So your statement's ridiculous
on the face of it, and he shows that you
don't have any kind of whatever. However, she's however, while
she's done in the past, there's clearly a bias in
there that's going to influence her filmmaking, and I don't
see how it's going to be good at all.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Right, Yeah, well, I want to talk to you about
the movie that you're making, by the way, which I'm
sure is going to be very good or you're going
to be a part of.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I should say, are you making it, are you in it?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Or both?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
It's done, it's done, it's done. Done.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Ah, this is what we call tease in the business.
We're gonna get to this in a second. Yeah, but
first from our sponsor, is there a change coming to
the US dollar this year? Former Wall Street insider Tiketchwari
still very much of the belief that it could and
will happen this year. He thinks the biggest risk to
Americans is not a spreading war in Ukraine or the
(08:28):
Middle East, but the security of the US dollar. He's
so adamant on this point that he's published a video
online with all the details, including how you can prepare
and how you can actually prosper from this.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
So what do you have to do?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Well, if you want to listen to ticket Swari, go
to move your cash now dot com to learn the
three steps you need to take to protect and grow
your wealth in the coming months and year. That's Move
your Cash now dot Com. Or you could end up
holding a bunch of dollars that aren't work what you think.
They are paid for by Palm Beach Research Group. Go
check it out today. All right, tell us about this movie.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Well, I can't say too much about it because I'm
under an NDA, but it is let's put yes, sneaky,
but the audience of your your audience is going to
absolutely love it. It's basically based on a true story
of corporate corruption in an area that you we might
(09:29):
have had certainly for me, I might have had some
controversy over the past couple of years. But but let's
put this Andy Wakefield, doctor Andy Wakefield directed the film,
so that should give you some kind of an idea
if you know anything about his history, and he's he's
an amazing guy, absolutely amazing guy. So yeah, I'm hoping
(09:51):
that it's going to shed some light on some areas
that we seem to have just moved on from that
we haven't really explored, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Amazing movie, vague, vague, not read in on this for
everyone yet, you know, Secret Squirrel, YadA ya, but going
to be amazing put Secret Squirrel.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I like this, it's gonna be amazing film.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
But probably the best.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Where some people are saying the best movie that Matthew
Marsden's ever made. He's a great guy, Marsden, fantastic, you know,
like amazing guy, Like maybe gonna work for me one
day in the White House.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Even people that don't do impressions of Trump have a
Trump impression because he is so emblazoned.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Into the minds of the American people.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Now, like you just you start thinking like, probably the
best you know, he's he's he's amazing. Some people are
saying yes, yeah, like Chris Walkin, right, what's the last
you know? Christopher Walken is also a very unique character
and has uniquecharacteristics. So Matthew, let's talk to this general movies.
(11:04):
I I went to a movie recently and first Soul's
Ferrari and I hated it.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
But I don't know if you've seen Ferrari. I thought
it was I thought it.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Was shockingly horrible movie given the subject matter, which should
be fascinating and really interesting, and it was just garbage.
And I'm not anti Adam Driver either, some people just
don't like him as an actor. I think he's good
in some things, not good in other things. But it
was it was a crappy movie. But this thing of
thirty minute long intros now of commercials and trailers. I
(11:37):
I tweeted this out of the day. I was like,
it's like the it's like the movie theater industry is
tired of dying slowly and so now it's just having
a pillow smothered over its face. And people are like, wow,
that really seems to be true, like I'm never going back.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, no, I mean it's it's uh. I just look
for mainly the people like us especially have families, professionals
like we don't have time to sit there and sit
through all those ads. And you know, I do understand
that the movie industry has really been hit hard in
the theaters, especially over the past few years, and they're
(12:14):
really struggling. It's a wonder any of them are still
still operating, to be honest, I mean, you know, but
that a lot of them now are saying I don't
want to go through distributors anymore. I want to go
directly to the filmmakers, which would be which would be
a really great development because those distributors are a lot
of the gatekeepers, which is why you don't see a
(12:34):
lot of movies that you want to see. But yeah,
I mean I want to go and watch a movie,
especially when you know we have Netflix and you can
just press a button. Or my airports are dying. Can
you still hear me?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, keep going.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
We're almost We're almost at the you know what, me
let me just say, let me say a word. A
word from from our final sponsor so that way, if
you cut off entirely, you know it's all good. Look,

I've partnered with these guys. I really believe in what
they're doing. All right now, Matthew, the best movie you've
seen in the last year. We'll let you close it
out with this.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Oh my gosh, you know what, they haven't been the many.
I don't think there have been that many movies that
have really like moved me in any way, shape or form.
You know, it's sad that I don't really get excited
about it. But I will tell you the one movie
that I watch a lot, and I just think it's
(14:24):
an absolute masterpiece. I mean, I did watch The Equalizer
three last night. I did watch that. I love Denzel
in everything that he does. I thought that was it.
I thought the screenplay was a little bit modeled, but
you know, you still like Denzel going kicking ass with
all the bad guys. I like that. But my go
(14:47):
to is nineteen seventeen. I just think it's Oh yeah,
I just think it's just an absolute masterpiece of a film.
On every level, it's just brilliant.
