Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
That was an idea.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
I felt like I was gonna fake Ye, I'm not
sure what to do with my hand.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
You have a part of my attention, you have the
minimum amount.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
What name? Who are you steal?

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Some men just want to watch the world.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
But let's see it drinking one percent?

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Is that because you think you're fat?

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Let's rock. Let's rock today. Well Andrews is still gal
vanting in Argentina. I mean, by now is he in Brazil?
Do we know if he's made his way to another
country in South America at this.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Point he might have. It's his honeymoon, it does his wedding,
it's all of it.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Well, hold on, so this is the second time he's
gotten married and it's the same person. It's just like
a different stuff of an Argentinian wedding versus an American wedding. Correct,
But like I'm fairly certain they've already had something like
a honeymoon, I would assume, So so now they do
they get a second honey I only see I got
American many married, and I got Bengali married. I only
got one honeymoon.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
I think you might have a point there, So maybe
they did just have the other honeymoon. They already had
their honeymoon. And now to your point, this is the Argentinian.
Am I saying that right?

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Argent Well, I see, okay, I Argentine researched this and
it's Argentine is the formal, Argentinian is the informal. So
I guess you could say that it's an argent Argentine honeymoon.
If he gets a second honeymoon, that lucky bastard.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
That means more time off, because I'm guessing he'll have
a Anderson Junior coming soon.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Was it for three weeks now he's been gone. Obviously,
we had the first week with Jess. We had that
great draft of of the deaths. I'm still bitter over
the fact that you got James Bond no time to
die because sorry that it just irks me. But that
was a great one with Jessman. In case you missed
episode four, that was a wonderful episode. We also talked

(01:52):
about strip clubs and that was it was a great episode.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
So I actually learned a thing or two, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
I mean, listen, I've only been to two in my
entire life.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
But now he's thinking maybe I'll go to a third one.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Just maybe we'll see. I mean, I think you would
have to be the one to take me to show
me what the hell I'm doing. Oh, don't do that
to me, because then you're a frequent visitor.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yes, when I travel to a new state, I will
check out their booby bar. That's one of the first
things on my checklist outside of food. It's all right,
let's go spend some money tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Maybe that's what anders is doing on his honeymoon. Maybe
I'm checking out the booby bars.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
I highly doubt Anderson would do that.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
He is.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
I know you are very conservative on strip clubs. Anderson's
I don't want to do that, Chris, I'm not interested.
That's how he is.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
I'm at least likely.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah. See, you'll listen, You'll okay, And if I end
up taking you, you'll be like I did, say that kid,
all right, let's go. That's it exactly. Anderson is just
not and I respect that. I would never pressure Anderson
to do that.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
I do got to get the wife's sign off, though.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
No. No, I understand that. That would be if you
want to go and your wife says no, I your
wife said no, sorry.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
I do I do feel she isn't gonna listen to this.
I do feel I have like kind of like a
plus one in the bank. So when we got married
in twenty sixteen, she had like a full on bachelorette
party and I and over the course of the years,
I learned about what happened to the bachelorette party was
seeing it was it was nothing. It was it was
nothing that would ruin our marriage. That's good, but it

(03:18):
was things that let's just say I didn't have it
my very much lacking bachelor party. My bachelor party was
like we spent three hours at I don't know why,
I'm blanking flat stick pub in Kirkland. Nothing wrong with that,
And that was about it. Nothing I want to I want, like,
I want a legit bachelor party. She got to have
a legit bachelorette party. So I feel like, how you know,

(03:39):
for eight years, I feel like I've had a plus
one in the bank.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Then I'm just waiting to use it exactly. So it's like, hey, hey, honey,
Chris wants to take me to a strip club. By
the way, I've had this plus one. I know I
have that to draw from me.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Can I use it? Yeah? I think that's fair because
when I went to Mike Dugar and my other friend
jevon their wedding, their bachelor party, ecuse me, we were
in Houston and we had a friend just there. Yeah,
we had a friend. His significant others said he could
not go to the strip club, and in my head,
I'm thinking, okay, but you realize what a bachelor party is, right, right,

(04:14):
So you're initially saying why, I don't know why he
even came to the batchel Of party because he knew
we were going to do that. This wasn't something that
we just thought of when we got there, like, oh hey, guy,
let's do this instead. No, it's kind of a tradition,
American tradition for the most part, that you attend a
type of party, ish club, maybe it's a strip club.
Maybe you just got yeah and that. So for me,

(04:37):
that was kind of really strange. And he really obi
you know, obeyed his girlfriend's significant others wishes, which was
kind of a shock.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
And that's fairly if listen, if if they're both cool
with the and they both have also the same regard,
like if one person has a different state, like but
you don't.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Get to do this that's kind of I think how
it works.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Well, that's not no. I mean, like, listen, you have
that double standard.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
No can not to get off too much in attend
before we start the show, the show.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
About movies and TV, and yet we're talking about strip clows.
This is great, let's keep going.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
But I think that's where I do the line. I said, look, man,
we can keep a secret. You can just go in
there and we don't have to ever talk about it.
It's really that simple. Yeah, And he's like, no, it's
a respect thing. I just don't want that. I said, bro,
you are at a bachelor party and she said, do.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
You think was going to happen?

Speaker 1 (05:22):
And he's like, no, it's cool, but you know, she
just want me to go. She just thinks. I said, well,
you need to build up a level of trust in her,
because that's what you're here for.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
So the only thing I'm mad about right now is
the fact that I went to Houston a week and
a half ago and you and I didn't have this
conversation before.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
I could have send you to a couple of them.
I'm sure where you could see booty hooles soon as
you walk in. Okay, I don't need to see that.
Nothing wrong with a pretty booty hole. The young lady see,
I don't need to see that. Well, I'll put it
this way. As long as you don't touch, it's okay.
You see it in movies, you see it in TV show,
you see a Harry Bush. Hell, you saw that in
the first episode of Black Sales.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
So there's a difference between booty hole and there is
there is, But you know, I feel like, you know,
there's a line, and I feel like we've been just
crossed it. Oh, let's actually speaking of Black Sales. It's
a perfect transition because of course you're listening to Hollywood Weekly.
My name is Jackson Feltz. That's Christopher Kidd. We are
two sports radio producers. We're usually three sports radio producers,

(06:16):
but Anderson is gone and we finally are gonna getting
a show to talk about something other than sports. This
is Hollywood Weekly. This is a podcast where we talk
about TVs and movies, and we've done now this is
our fifth episode. Black Sales has been the show of
the podcast so far. We all each each week what
we do is we talk about what we've watched, we
give a recommendation, we do something unique, and we kind

(06:39):
of give the news of the day. And there's a
lot of news today, by the way, lots of trailers,
my gosh. Okay, So on that front, Black Sales has
been the show of the podcast. I have finished Black Sales.
Oh my god. I will though, have to contain myself
because anders is the one who brought us to Black Sales.
It was this first recommendation on the first episode of

(07:02):
this show, and we both said, you know what, let's
do it. It's Game of Thrones with pirates. You and
I both said let's jump and let's dive in. You
finished it a lot sooner than I did.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Eh. Nonetheless, we both finished it.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Holy smokes, what a show. I will just say really
quick because we'll talk about Black Sales more when Anderson
gets back. But I will say right now, it is
going seventeen all time for me. You know, I don't
know if I've ever done this, but quickly to go
over it. I have lost Scrubs, Front and at Lights,
The Good Place, Ted Lasso, The Office, Star Trek, Strange,

(07:36):
New Worlds, Chuck House, The Orville Mandalorian Burn Notice, Star Trek,
The Next Generation, and or Parks and rec The Bears
at sixteen and Black Sales comes in at seventeen. But
I will say if the Bear continues to go a
little bit declining like it did this last season, Black
Sales could easily slide up into sixteen. What an incredible show.

(07:57):
We will have to talk about it more next week
when absolutely back.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
You can hold off on that. I get it. I
just wonder, wow, Yeah, that's a that shows up there.
It's really good. But like Jackson said, we don't want
to get into it too much because our fellow friend
that put us on for that show he is out
this week. But you know, Jackson, let's start off with
what have you been watching? What are you watching that
has your eyes peeled to the television? Maybe a movie?

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, which you got a lot of things. Actually, you
guys know, I'm continuing to work through mad Men now
into the fifth season, and it's just a solid it's
a nice weeknight mindless watch. It's not mindless. It's definitely
keeps your attention. But as the seasons go on, I
kind of just am looking at the watch a little
bit more, I'll say that. So it's starting to lose

(08:41):
me now towards the end of the season. Shrinking is
a show that's on Apple TV. I think I made
it run a recommendation a couple of weeks ago. It
has Jason Siegel, Harrison Ford, some other really really good
actors and actresses. The story is very interesting. I think
Harrison Ford is absolutely tacular in it. But they introduced

(09:02):
you watch Ted Lasso? Did you watch Ted Lasso when
it was on Apple?

Speaker 1 (09:05):
I watched maybe one or two episodes. Wasn't for me,
but I understand the hype around it.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
So basically, they have this British soccer player character named
Roy Kent, and Roy Kent's played by a guy named
Brett Goldstein. Great actor, and Brett Goldstein's role and that
is basically just say the effort over and over and
swear a lot and be very angry and mean. And
he's playing a character that couldn't be more of a
one hundred and eighty degree difference in Shrinking, And to

(09:32):
be honest, they've established this character, you know, in this
only place really mainstream as Roy Kent, and now he's
playing a character that's so wildly different it's just a
little bit jarring. So I don't know if bringing Brett
Goldstein in has worked the way that the creators are shrinking.
Have thought it would, but it's just gonna take a
lot of time to get used to. I had planned
to watch this movie called My Old Ass with Aubrey

(09:55):
Plaza this last weekend, but we were at Costco. We
saw they were selling the new Mario Party and that
took us down that road instead of watching the movie.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
So I don't blame you.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
So we're now. We're now playing a lot of Mario Party.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Video game podcast coming soon.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
I do want to talk about a movie called here
Here with Tom Hanks and Robin Wright. I think we
might have mentioned this at some point in the first
four episodes. The movie is I will say this up front,
it is not doing well at all on Rotten Tomatoes.
It is. It is pretty much bombing amongst critics. Fans,

(10:30):
or should say just moviegoers are very divided. I would
say more on the side of anti than four. It
very My wife absolutely loved when we saw it, and
it basically the concept of the movie is this here
refers to the fact that the movie takes place in
one geographical location. The camera does not pan to the left, right, up, down,

(10:53):
It stays in one spot. The only thing that changes,
fading in and out is the scene over time that
happened in this one place on Earth. So it happens
to be in a living room of a home throughout
the you know, I guess what is it seventies, eighties, nineties,
two thousands, and then they also cut back to like
the eighteen hundreds. They cut back to the seventeen hundreds,

(11:14):
They cut back to when they were dinosaurs, when they
were Native Americans roaming the earth. It changes the scene,
but you constantly through the whole movie just see what
is going on here in this one place, and it
just it keeps one camera shot the whole movie, which
as I set it up, you can see it's very

(11:35):
much just like what the hell. It's a really interesting idea.
I don't think it was a good movie. I do
think it was a fantastic and beautiful piece of art.
That's it's a rare occasion where like you can see
a TV or movie whatever, that is a piece of art.
You can see why we call this, you know what

(11:57):
we call this artwork? You know what what motion make
sure you filmmaking is it's art but at the same
time as a movie. In twenty twenty four, keeping one
single shot and just fading things in and out in
a what was a mildly incoherent timeline that didn't even
resemble a timeline. I'm not sure it fully worked as

(12:18):
a movie. Does that make any sense? It works as
artwork but doesn't work as a movie.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, I'm watching the trailer and they're showing dinosaurs.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, it's it's phase out, but it stays in the
one say that.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, and you're saying birds and seventeen seventy Native Americans,
and you're seeing time, and people are building things, you're
saying a home, you're seeing a veteran as you mentioned
all these times that elapsed between this period, and it
stays in that state. And then here right, and there's
art there is probably Yeah, continue.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
I would say that they tried to do too much.
You can already see it in the trailer, and anybody
who saw the trailer you can just go watch here.
I would say, like, if you are a if you
are a cinematic, if you're a person who likes to
see through the fine arts, and you likes to go
to music, you like to go to museum, I think
this is a movie for you. If you just like
to go see Mission Impossible, which we're going to talk
about later, if you like to go, you know, see

(13:07):
the big Bangs and the big you know, summer blockbusters.
I don't think this movie is for you, but watch
the trailer and you know you can.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
I think I saw the movie in the trailer.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
I think you did. And you can also see like
there's so many stories going on at once. Yeah, it
becomes it jumps way too fast. It becomes really hard
to follow. And because it jumps fast, the emotional moments
don't hit as hard. They needed to hold shots quite
a bit longer. But what a unique idea. That is unique,
really really unique idea to put that into a movie.

(13:36):
So I liked it as a piece of art. I
thought it was a beautiful piece of art. I just
didn't think it was a great movie. And you can
kind of pick that up there in the trailer, Chris.
So that's that's I haven't been watching too much, but
that's that's what's been checking off my box. I'll have
one more that I've been watching as a part of
my recommendation, but I'll flip it over you. What have

(13:57):
you been watching in the last couple of weeks?

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well, Outer Banks. I know we had a brief Kyle Chandler, right,
I have to look up the cast, but basically this
is around teenagers and they're best friends. They're all group
that try to hunt for legendary treasure linked perhaps to
one of the main characters father's disappearance.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
And you know it's not Kyle Banks or Kyle Chandler.
I'm sorry, but continue on Outer Banks.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
So it's on Netflix four seasons in and it's a
teenager show, so it takes you back to when you're
in high school, which for us is a long time ago.
But it just wo, what if I had friends and
we did I mean I did have friends. What if
we thought of doing something this crazy in Seattle? Well,
everything you think what happened in a show actually happens,

(14:45):
Like when you think about reality and your friendships and
your relationship with your mom and dad. He's supposed to
be in high school. We you' here started for treasure,
you know, get your priorities in the saying kid and
it's a it offers some realism, but then it as
a season progressed, it gets a little crazier, like, oh
my gosh, these kids haven't been home in two months.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
So I guess on the scale of you obviously have
you know, and later in the show, by the way,
we're going to be talking about the best comedies between
two thousand and two thousand and nine, and you have
a lot of you know, shows that who do teenage
realistic kind of teenage life now or not evencessaly realistic,
but more kind of like the super Bad style, where
it is these are conversations you actually have, and then

(15:26):
you go to like Twilight, where it's just roll of
your eyes. Nobody speaks like this in high school on
the scale of like realism conversations and realistic dialogue of
high school kids. They nail it.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
They nail it. I think, just you know, how fast
and furious they kind of get crazier and crazy with
some of the stuff. I think by the season, especially
season three and four, you're like, Okay, I mean, I
know these kids are smart, intelligent, but Mike, can they
is this really? Can they really pull something like this off?

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Is it heisty in that sense?

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Then a little yes, because their treasure hunt for most part,
they're just having to be teenagers. And in your head
you're like, God, like i'd want to believe that these
kids could pull off such a fee, But then the
back of your head, you're like, but they're also kids.
How much could a kid do at seventeen eighteen years old?
I don't know. I'm not a treacher hunter, but that's
where I kind of draw the line. But overall, I
think the storyline's really good. You get to look at

(16:20):
a community that's split between Kuks and pogues, and Pogues
are the unfortunate and the Kuks are more of this,
the the rich folk that look over and look down
upon the pogue. So you have this issue between communities
right then and there, and it brings them together, it

(16:41):
breaks them apart, and you see that shift season by season,
and it's entertaining. It just wrapped up season four. Fiance
and I were watching it and it ends on a
just crazy cliffhanger, which they did for the last two seasons.
But overall that have one more season coming and I'm
excited to see what they do and how they close
it out, just because they've built everybody's character the development.

(17:05):
That's one thing I'm big on. Character show. Yeah, it
starts off with multiple teenagers, but then they hone it
on one character. Season two, they hone in another character,
season three another one, and then season four another one,
and season five is going to be okay. I don't
know where the focus is going to be because they've
really developed every single character, whether it be for multiple
episodes damn near a season. They've done a really good

(17:27):
job of just doing that. And again, it brings you
back to when you were in high school, which I
think is cool and I enjoy that aspect of this show,
and it's been entertaining. The cast has done really well,
and again, the storyline is something that jumped out to
me just because when it came out in twenty twenty
during COVID, that was one thing that you could just
flip on and binge it in a day. And that's

(17:47):
what I did, binge it very quick because it's ten
episodes per season. But yeah, this is a show that
I've been checking out for the last four years and
can't wait for season five now.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
So season four is a big thumbs up. It sounds
like it's funny. It was good because Netflix is pushing
it pretty hard. I mean, I'm right now on the
other show I'm watching is Lost. I watch it while
I work out and and every single time I vote
up Netflix, it pushes the outer banks, and and just
looking up as kind of you know, as you speak,
I'm kind of doing research. Mattelineklin, who's in a Glass Onion,
the Knives Out story, that was a great Elizabeth Mitchell,

(18:20):
who's also in Lost, I'm kind of I'm buying in
and I'm kind of looking for that. Check out the show.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Just check out the first few episodes and you could
just exactly wait, like the same for me, or you
know what, I'm intrigued.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
You think that it would take your first few episodes
and you'd already kind of feel that.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
I think in the first few episodes either you're in
or out, whether it's yeah, for whatever reason, I don't know.
You'd have to check it out, but I would encourage
you to spend an episode or two on you shot.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
That sold me. I'm gonna I'm just gonna test it
out because I need another Netflix show. And all right,
I mean Black Sales is now done. I need to
show up the last so I need an outer bank.
So all right, I think I think you've signed me up.
What else you watch them?

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Okay, So I know you're a big fan of Guardians
of the Galaxy. Yes, huge fan. If I'm not mistaking that,
it's one of your big time, big time Okay, So,
Zoe Zaldana she plays on this show called Lioness.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Please tell me that's good.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Oh Jackson, if I had to rank between Outer Banks
and Lioness, you need to start Lioness.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
First, Ladies and gentlemen. We have just switched. So where
is that streaming again?

Speaker 1 (19:23):
It's on Hulu? Okay? Oh shoot, I lied, No, Lioness.
Lioness is on not Hulu.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Oh it's you.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
It's on Paramount, but I have it through. Okay, long
story short. Basically, what a cast on this show? Oh yeah,
it's that's another thing. The cast is crazy, but it
all when you watch it, you're like, Okay, I can't
be mad at that if I'm not mistaken. Well, actually, AnyWho,
it's about.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Sell me on this because I'm already I'm already boughty in.
But sell.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
It's about Zoe Zaldana, who she's an undercover CIA agent
or operations, and she's running the crew. It's a team
of maybe six seven people and they send in Lionesses
and their job is to get the trust of evil people.
Whether it be a terrorist organization and or maybe someone.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
That's you know, you need more dirt on.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
They send the Lioness in to handle the dirty work,
and Zoe's character is meant to train this young lady
because the first season they're going out the terrorists in
the Middle East, and this one specific terrorist has a
niece and she lives in a living a ravish, a
very really cool lifestyle, and the only way they can

(20:37):
find out more info is getting that Lioness in there.
And it's high stakes, high reward. If you can get
in and get her in there, get the information and
take out this suspect, you win. If not, your whole
mission can be compromised and that whole entire team gets
wiped out. And Zoe does Oh my gosh, she is
just she's a boss, Like I know she does. Her

(20:59):
role in Marvel movie is kind of second fiddle.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
And she even she commands the screen.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
But in this one you can tell, like, okay, she
ain't nothing to play with. It is insane. I just
watched what episode two a few weeks ago. Oh my goodness,
I never.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Heard her curse of season two or season one.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
There's two seasons, right, Season one so off season two,
the season two has already started. Season one. Season one
was in twent twenty three. They came back this year
season two, and there was an episode two weeks to
episode two. Oh my goodness. I never heard her MF
for so much in my life, but it was authentic.
You can see the presence she has and what she's
trying to do and the importance of this mission. She's

(21:42):
not here to play games. And I think it. I
think you would love it. I know I had out
our banks on her. Something you should watch, But Lioness
is one of those shows that it takes you into
a deeper dive into what CIA is doing and what
they're trying to protect us as Americans and keep our peace.
And I'm obviously the this is maybe dramatized, but I
don't know, because I'm not an operative. I don't do

(22:04):
my research on these type of things. But I have
enjoyed the show and I wonder, Wow, is this what
it's like out there? Are they really doing certain things
that we will never know about? So yeah, that it
gives you a little glimpse of what it could be like,
not saying that's this is exactly what it is. But boy,
are you at the edge of your seat?

Speaker 2 (22:21):
USA Network used to have a show called Covert Affairs.
There was obviously show called on Showtime called Homeland. It
feels a little bit mixy of those, but zois Holdana,
you have freaking of Cole Kidman, Heyah Sheridan, Morgan Freeman.
He's the Michael Kelly of House of Cards. I mean,
the cast is stacked right now. I'm just gonna look
up to see what the Rotten Tomatoes is. But every

(22:41):
time they put a every time they put a how
I say this a teaser or commercial or anything like that,
because I've heard it on the radio, I've heard it
on podcasts, I've seen the commercials.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Oh yeah, it look good.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
One eighty percent was the popcorn Meter or the audience
score on Rotten Tomatoes. So clearly, you know you are
not alone in liking it.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
No, and I know a lot of people probably I
don't know how to say this, but having woman whoop
ass is kind of not the trend everyone wants to see.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
I mean, I'm sorry, Zoeys Saldana signed me up.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
No, but she's actually training other another woman to whoop
ass in a certain capacity. And season two just gets
better obviously, but I want you to start with season
one because I think A would really like it and
be your.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Girl is always in there, lionss. I can start watching
on Fubo right now. So Rocking and Rolling.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Yeah, that one. So I would say start lying as
first and then you can work your way out our banks,
just on the ranking order.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
It feels that's that feels like that's more of my show.
I think it will be just you know who I am.
It's you'll enjoy it, and I think the wife you
will as well. I don't know, I feel like, yeah
for strong, strong female characters. She's all in the rock
and roll. Well, that's think of Columbiana times times ten.
I don't know if I've seen Columbiana.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Oh, it's always in that too. If I'm not mistaken,
she's one of the main care I don't even remember
that movie is about. But basically, I think your parents
get killed and she goes to be a killer hit man.
I'm not mistaken. Rock and roll at any who? Anything
else before recommendations a movie, Yeah, I think I told
you about this movie before, but we didn't have the
podcast at the time.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Go ahead, no one will save you. Is this the
alien one? Yes, but there's no dialogue. Go ahead, there's
no dialogue. So this is not the one where I think,
So walk me through this. Maybe you this title sounds familiar.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
This came out in twenty twenty three. Yeah, And it's
a young lady who lives alone and one night she
goes to bed like normal ony a night, and she's, oh,
this is the movie.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
This is the alien movie. But you're telling me there's
no dialogue.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
No, there's no dialogue.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
I thought I thought for sure there was dialogue.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
There's none.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Well that's interesting, Yeah, but it kind of like it.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
It's all I know you gave art with here.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yeah, I was like, who is that? One movie? Was it?

Speaker 1 (24:55):
And then I remembered. So that's why I'm comparing it,
because you know, one still shot cool the whole movie.
This movie, there's no talking. There's just panic. There's fear,
there's oh my goodness, what's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
I would just say, having seen the trailer and I,
you know, sorry, say the title again. No one will
save you. No one will save you. Folks can go
watch the trailer and I'll say the exact same thing
to you. Now that I did when we watched the
trailer together out at our desks, and that's move. Don't
go back to the house, just leave never there's an

(25:28):
alien there. Clearly there's something haunting that place. Just I
don't care if you just bought the house, don't go back,
sell it, talk to realaturs, lose money whatever. You obviously
can't go back there, or you will die.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
For the catches, she thought she might've been dreaming. So
now you're you're playing in two different realms, like, oh
I was a dream, Okay, was that real?

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Fool me once and then fool me twice, right, and
so it's just like okay, but like the thing's clearly
gonna kill you.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Well that's another interesting will they kill you? So it
was my friend told me about it, and when he
said there's no dialogue, I said, now I know what
the word die love means. You mean no speaking. He's
like yes, Chris, I said, what and how long is
this movie? And I think it's about ninety minutes? And
it's just that's interesting. No communication. But boy man, the
twist on that had me going, Okay, I don't know

(26:15):
if I'm going to sleep tonight. But that was a
really good movie, and for someone that loves communicating and
seeing that for that movie to not have that and
for me to understand what was happening and to finish
it and go I got it. That makes sense.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
But but you, but you also refer back to how
you just said I may not sleep tonight.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
I'm kidding, You'll be fine. I just want to throw
that in there for some effects.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Oh, I was gonna I was gonna say, I sleep
very well.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
I'm a huge fan of scary movie. All the movies
I can sleep on are are tough to sleep on,
or something like The Conjuring and that that one is like, okay,
I need like a glass of water. I need to
watch some NBA highlights to get my mind off of
what I just witnessed. But I think no one will
save you. It's a little scary, a little creepy, but
you and your wife will be able to find some
sleep afterwards.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
I think, all right, interesting, did you see uh what
the Jordan Peel the latest Jordan the Alien movie?

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (27:06):
I did, but I no, nope, not not of this,
uh not of planet Earth. That's what it amount of
planet Earth. So like that is a not really horror
but sort of horror alien movie. How would you compare
the two in that sense of horror? Horror not so horror?

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Then No One Will Save You jumps way ahead, so
it's way more horror, but yes, way more horror. But
even Nope, it wasn't all that scary. It's like, oh,
they didn't swallowed you. I will say the scene, yes,
they're screaming, and that was mentioned that on the Death
because that was two weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yes, that was. That was a little hard to watch,
you know. I mean that's like, that's like a dozen
people like screaming as they basically get swallowed by an alien,
and the cameras inside of the alien's belly. That was.
That was a little thing nasty. That was crazy.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
You got a recommendation before we move forward. The recommendation
will be Linus Linus and the alien movie titled No One.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
I forgot it. No One Will Save You will say.
I was about to say, no one will hear you
because it's no dialogue, But.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
That's a good one.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
They probably could have made the title the same as well.
True that nice for really quickly from my recommendation. Uh, obviously,
I think that for a lot of people listen if
if you have, if you are right now high on life,
and if you're smiling from ear to ear and you
have been since last Tuesday, that's fine. You're all obviously
happy and entitled to. If you are of another mindset

(28:34):
and you are not happy and smiling all the time
and you are understanding that, or if you are in
the mode of just like God, this world right now
and you need a little lightness in your world, the
Great British Baking Show is the show for you. It
is just it's a competition based show. But I would
not say it's very producer heavy. It's very much just
to keep things light, keep things fun. It's just your

(28:57):
basic BA baking cooking show. But it's the way that
they developed the characters in each season. The season that's
going right now has been absolutely hilarious. This latest week
is why I'm making up my recommendation this week, because
you have somebody who has a dominant week, and it's
always fun to see somebody just absolutely owning the world

(29:17):
in their given craft. You have a massive amount of
sexual innuendos in this latest episode. It is so hilarious
and it's just kind of the way my wife and
I looked at it last week as we were watching
on Friday night, was it just kind of felt like
a little bit of light in the darkness. And if
you're looking for some levity and you're looking to just
kind of smile and you take yourself away, and yes,

(29:39):
there's all these different shows that can can put you
in these different worlds, but if you're just looking for
something completely different that's just gonna make you smile and
just enjoy life for an hour. It's on Netflix, Great
British Baking Show and this season, especially the one that's
rolling right now, is really really good. In this last
episode I thought was outstanding. So that would be my
recommendation in for some people what they need just some

(30:03):
levity in their life, and and that would be that's
that's the levity that's been for my life for sure. Chris,
we have a lot of trailers to talk about. We
have a lot of news to talk about. Let's get
to the Marvel news in a little bit. Let's start
with the trailers, and let's start with Mission Impossible. We
obviously had Dead Reckoning. What was what Dead Reckoning Part one?

(30:26):
A few years ago? That was Were you a fan
of of a The Mission Impossible series and be Dead
Reckoning Part one, Love It, Love It. I think we're
both on the love It, Love It, Love It and
Dead Reckoning from all the things of launching the motorcycle
off the side of the mountain and everything of the
train car scene at the end. I love the airport
scene where Tom Cruise is just evading the people through

(30:50):
the Abu Dhabi airport.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Have you noticed that, if I'm not mistaken, Phil, this
might be off kilter, but an every one of his films,
he sprints for a very long durrace and he's a.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Very weird sprinter. Have you noticed that where he sprints
like nobody else sprints in the history of films.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
I think him and Tom Hanks and Forrest Gump should
race at this point, because my.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Man Forrest Gump has run all over the world.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Meanwhile, in every film, if I'm not mistaken, in the
latest one, he resprinted for two straight minutes in that
airport and he was smashing. It wasn't like he changed pace.
He was doing the entire sprint, the entire way along
the roof like.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
It's a mile away, and he hasn't changed.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
If you go back ninety seconds, he is still running
the same. I'm like, Tom Cruise must have like the
endurance of a god, because this dude has been running
in every film. And in the trailer did you notice it, Jackson,
he was sprinting. There was an explosion in the background
and he was I'm like, there he is. If there's
one movie where someone's gonna sprint it for a long

(32:00):
it's gonna be Tom Cruise. And he does it so well. Now.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
The better example is of the sprinting and dead reckoning.
Part one was the scene in Venice where he has
to sprint through Venice. Well, first he has to run
away from the building because the AI is in the building,
and then he has to sprint to that random bridge
and I love as he's sprinting, he's bumping up against
the walls and bumping up against that wall and bumping
up like he's running through the little halls of Venice.
Apparently that's it. Actually did that in Venice, and it

(32:25):
was actually him bumping into the corner too fast.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
I wouldn't be surprised, but I just I knew it.
I'm like, I can't wait for him to be sprinting,
and there it is. The trailer. I said, I can't
wait for it.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
This trailer was spectacular, right, can't wait this This is
what a trailer should be. Give away zero plot. Listen,
we already know what's gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
The last film, Like, hey, I know about the key,
but come on, what's going on.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
In this movie? We understand they have to go to
the ship or the submarine that's sunk. He has to
go into the nuclear sub and you know, get the
AI and all. We understand the point of this movie.
But the fun of the trailer was that it didn't
really emphasize that at all. It just leaned into, yeah,
you know, we have a whole bunch of crazy action
stuff that you are expecting from the planes and just crazy.

(33:11):
Everything played off so well in this trailer just to
get you so massively hyped for next year.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Can't wait, man, I'm I'm there hasn't been a movie
I've seen at a midnight release in quite some time.
This is, Hey, babe, when those tickets go on so
January whenever that is, let's go ahead and get all order.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
In at Then. The last line of the trailer is
Tom Cruise ethan Hunt saying I need you to trust
me one last time, so the Bible don't kill him all.
The big question is is this the last mission? Impossible?

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Probably, it's been a great run, I.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Know, going back all the way since the nineties.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yes, that's incredible. I mean he is, and I think
it's one of those where you don't bring in another one.
Is he the biggest action star in the world right now?
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
I'm not sure who would he even? I mean, there's
Chris Pratt. I guess in terms of just the Jurassic
World and stuff.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
What do you mean biggest?

Speaker 2 (34:07):
I mean, just like you when you think of action star,
when when you think of the term like there was
there was that more in like the nineties, I think.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Well I would, I would, I would have to. I
don't know. This is a tough one.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
But right now, if you were, if you're you're to say, if.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Either with Denzel is kind of like okay, when that
comes out, you're kind of like, all right, here we go.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Denzel was probably that for a time, but like if
you were, you know, close your eye here and here
the term action star? Is there anybody you you you
think of other than Tom Cruise right now?

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Gosh, I phone they kept making rush hours. Now I'm kidding,
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Uh probably you know James Bond.
But even then his run Daniel Craig. But now but now,
but now he's doing the exactly And that's the thing.
He's been ethan hunt for twenty And.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
When I say action star, like, it's not just mission impossible.
Obviously you have why am I blanking on the fighter jets?
So what are we doing right now?

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Are you kidding?

Speaker 2 (35:03):
What are we doing?

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Oh? My god?

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Gun? There we go, so Maverick, And then inevitably there's
gonna be a third one, right, So he's in obviously
the action star in those like he is the action
star of this SENTI nineteen ninety six. That was the
first one.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
That is a that is a can we say rain.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
That's a thirty year run.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
That's a rain of just action, ass beating, saving lives,
taking lives. Marriage.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
I can't get married.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
You wanted my girlfriend, That's not gonna work because I'm
in the business of saving the world. If you choose
to accept it, if you choose that's that's a good point.
We have to do a draft of I don't know,
I don't know how you would word it. But a
draft around the biggest action stars, and it'd be tough
to say Ethan is not number one.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
I think I think Tom Cruise for what he's done,
or excoose me Tom Cruise playing me Ethan Hunt right exactly.
I think I think he's number one, And like this trailer,
he does look he does look older.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
I will see which is good, My goodness, we want
to see guys age. I don't want to see friggin'
Ethan Hunt. Why does it look like Eithan Hunt fro
ninety six? My buddy's sixty plus years old. It's okay,
he's old.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
He's old. He's older now, Matt Damon because of the
Born series.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
No, it doesn't come close. I'm sorry. I think Ethan.
I think there's tears, Tom Cruise has Tom Cruise is there,
and now I'm trying to figure out who else is
in that category because this is a run since ninety six.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Uh, this is not easy to think about.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Off top.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
We will, you know, let's let's let's bring Anderson in
this conversation. But I think I listen all this to
say the trailer was phenomenal.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yes, check check check, check check.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Mission Impossible, the Final even the Final Reckoning. The title
of it is the Final Reckoning, which hints to me
that this is it, This might be it. In what
a way they're going out this that three hour movie.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Give it to me.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
I make it as long as you want. Just put
it in. Put it, make it a four hour long.
Give me a ten minute intermission to use the bathroom
and get some more popcorn? Uh more movie? Need to
do that, by the way, an intermission.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
This is gonna be their eighth film, only the eighth. Well,
but you gotta think about it, right, just because they
don't give them to you.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
I thought Fallout was eight, the Fallout was seven.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
Yeah, they don't give them to you every other year.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
I do think Fallout was the best of the series,
though I don't even I can rank them.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
I love them all. I mean, I'd have to go
back and watch them individually again. I did, honestly, I
had maybe during the summer. I did go back and
rewatch Mission Impossible, two, three, four Protocols.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
Who's really good? Ghost Protocol is a good movie.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
So yea, I have to I'd have to go back
and watch it again and dive in and take a
really good look at it. But right now the first
Dead Reckoning Part one, I was like, oh my god,
can you top that? Oh you're coming out with part.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
And it looks so good. It does all right, Mission
impossible the final recording. Go check out the trailer because
it is amazing. Now on to the lots and lots
and lots of Marvel stuff. We got trailers for Captain America,
Brave New World. We got a trailer for the new
Thunderbolts movie, which is basically the Dark Avengers. We got
a trailer for What If Season three. All of these trailers,

(38:05):
I mean, what If? It's kind of cool. We don't
need to touch on it too long. It's introducing I
think the big news is it's introducing Storm from the
X Men. So this is, you know, another piece where
we're seeing X Men coming into Marvel, which is great.
That looks very fun. Thunderbolts is very much it's just
the suicide squad of Marvel also looks very good. The quick,

(38:27):
quick witted humor I think plays off really well in
the trailer. And then obviously Captain America, I just you know,
inject the hype into my veins. Chris, of these what
stood out to you.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
The excitement just I'm just really excited to see what
they can do with Captain America. Yeah, just because it's
a it's not our same Captain Rogers that we've had
for the last Do you like it? I do. I
do like the direction they're going in, But we just
got that you have to land it right. You can
like all the things you want if it's not landed. Okay,
we're coming back to see the next one that comes

(39:01):
out in four years or two years, whatever the case
may be. But I'm anticipating what it could be, and
I think it could be really really good. I like
the red Hull, the idea that they brought. I'm like,
who the hell is that. I to go back and
look it up. Google it.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
The journalists they're red, so they're red now.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Yeah. It just there's so much that I'm intrigued and
interested in and regarding that film, and gosh's coming up
so quick. Before we know, it'll be in theaters and
people will be watching it and it's gonna probably do
crazy numbers. Then the reality check sets in. Was it
a good film?

Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah? Exactly, And I think that's a big question because
I think one of the good things. The trailer is
doing that I think they can do well to emphasize
throughout the movie is where you know Harrison Ford, who
plays the President Thaddeus Ross, says to our new Captain America,
Sam Wilson. He says, you're not Why am I blanking

(39:55):
on Chris Evans name but the original cap?

Speaker 1 (39:57):
Yeah, you're not him, You're not not Rogers, you Steve,
You're not Steve Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
And Sam Wilson says, you're right, I'm not. And I
think just emphasizing that at all points to be like,
this is a stop thinking about this character like Captain America.
This may be a Captain America in the suit, but
this is not Captain America in you know, in the mentality,
in the flesh, in any specific part. This is a
completely different character who just happens to be wearing the suit.

(40:25):
And I think is if they hammer that home over
and over well also like making us like Sam Wilson's
character as he's now becoming Captain America. If they bring
it all together, it can work. But I think you're right,
The question is will they Because it's such a it's
such a hard thing to accept. I knew like if
you bring the iron Man right, like they're they're bringing

(40:47):
in Ironheart, right, this girl you know to be the
you know, you know suito new iron Man right, wearing
an iron Man suit, and it's it's hard to accept
a new character in the same suit as an old character.

Speaker 1 (40:59):
Yeah, it's I think for one is too soon. I
think this is something you do twenty years later, you
let iron Man whatever, and then twenty years later when
I'm like fifty, Oh that's new, that's interesting bringing on it.
But money, oh, I know, money talks, but they have
There's so much they can do with Marvel. There's characters
that you haven't even heard of that are in this

(41:20):
universe that they can bring back, bring in and make
a movie of. You're so they don't have to do this,
Like I said, you can wait on it. I know
money talks, but there's characters that I want to know
more about. This cow, Why is.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
What bringing the X Men sooner? There's so much they
can do.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
But hey, I'm not a director. I'm not a producer.
I produce radio. But this is big gang. They're doing
movies and things of that nature. So they might have
an end goal in a game like they did with
with the MCU and what they did with in game
and how that all played out. Iron Man started.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
That's I mean, clearly that's not happening because they had
they had a route and then Chadwick Bowman Bosman Pass
was the West and their whole roadmap gets blown up.
And then everything that happened with Jonathan Major's is King.
He obviously gets canceled, and you know rightly so, but
he gets canceled, and now that whole plan is blown
up with Kang, so they're on like Plan C for
this saga. So we just need to we just need

(42:12):
to get this over with. Let's just let's get let's
get this whole thing over with, and let's move on
to the X men.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
Let's see it happen.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
Uh Thunderbolts I thought was the It's it's exactly what
you expect. It's just it's your suicide squad from Marvel,
and it's these bad characters coming together. And all you
want is the writing to be good and there to
be some fun scenes, and it seems like, you know,
I think we have a nice David Harber's Red Guardian,
you know, I think they have a nice group together.

(42:41):
Who can play off of each other. Good action. In
the trailer that you have Juliuuis Dreyfus as kind of
the leader of this group. I think she kind of
comes off menacingly. It's a fun trailer. But I think
I think we can kind of say, like if if
Marvel even roughly hits on both of these, neither of
these projects I don't have to be I think have

(43:02):
to be A level projects. But if both of these
Thunderbolts and Captain America can be B level projects, I
think Marvel's fully back at that point.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Let's hope that you're right, Jackson.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
Let's hope. So, by the way, what if this a
little bit surprise? What if? Season three is coming out
in December, so we are a month away from getting
the next season on What If? Which looks good. Now,
news wise, before we get to our you know, completely
switching up the entire topic of this weekend, we're going
to talk about comedies of the last you know, twenty
five years or so, I should say, two thousand to

(43:35):
two thousand and nine. Some news that should be shared
about what's going on with Marvel, because there was D
twenty three. I think it was like D twenty three Brazil.
There was lots of news that came out from Kevin Fagi,
the head of Marvel Studios. He says, after twenty twenty five,
we're gonna get the same thing every year from Marvel,

(43:55):
and that's two movies and three shows. Every year we
get two movies and three shows, which for me like
it means. It means you're very much understanding. We need
to pace out what we do and pushing three four
movies a year and five series or whatever it used
to be, pushing that out too much was too fast.

(44:16):
We need to space out the projects. And two year
I think is a good number for the movies.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
I think that's aggressive, and I like that they should
go after.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
It and listen, Like, I think aggressiveness I think comes
with the shows. Like I don't know how you find
out shows, but if you invest the right amount and
have decent CGI looking at you she hulk, I think
then it can be worth it. But you can't skimp
on the CGI. Pay people who are doing the CGI,
because they're the ones who you rely on to make
this all look good.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
We are almost a month away from a movie that
I'm excited to see, and that's Craven the Hunter.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
I know we didn't. You're excited for it.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
I am why for one? Dude looks bad ass. I'm
not gonna lie.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
I'm just the story there though.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Eh, that's where they're gonna have to sell you when
you go watch it. The story looks intriguing. They had
a heavy cast Russell Crowe as the dad of Craven
the Hunter. The trold just it just pulled me in.
That's a d C character, right, that's a good question.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
I think I think Craven the Hunter is a DC character.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
Oh is it DC? I got it all mixed up?
Well I could.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
I couldn't be very wrong.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
No, it is Marvel, Yeah, feature the Marvel.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
So Russell Crowe was Zeus in Thor, Love and Thunder,
and then now he's this he's the dad. No, no,
you're thinking of no Russell Crowe. Russell Crowe was Zeus
in Thor, Love and Thunder.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
So I didn't even see Thor Loven Thunder.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Something you didn't miss much it is. Let me let
me also give you some good news. I'm not sure
if you saw this. Kevin Figgy on Blade quote, we
are committed to Blade, we love the character. We love
the version that Mhersha law Ali has of him. I
can say that the character will reach the m c
U we will get. According to Kevin Figi, A Mahersha

(45:54):
law Ali Blade.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
L f G. Yeah, I can't wait because.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Mershie Mershal, He's gonna be perfect.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
Blade with Wesley Snipe's money. Now you're giving a new generation,
and I don't think they did it too soon. I
think they would for a perfect time to do it,
and the time is now. I don't know if it's
gonna branch off of previous stories, or it's gonna be
a whole new story, or they're gonna reboot it, but
I'm excited to see what it will be. I mean, hell,

(46:24):
the video game trailer looked incredible, and that was just
wasn't even a trailer, it was a snippet. Yeah, and
I was just like, I want to buy the game
just because it's Blade and it just looks so cool.
And now they're back in getting the film done. I'm
hoping twenty twenty seven, twenty eight we have a new
Blade film.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
Then I think you bring up the right wording there,
twenty twenty seven to twenty eight, because they've lost scriptwriters
they've lost directors, They've lost Xyz over and over and over.
I mean, I'm not sure why they keep losing people
associated with the product, but they just can't get a
team together. But it just feels like, with such a
talent that is Myhrscha law Ali, if you just have
the right team around him and write a good movie,

(47:02):
it could be so good.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
I know it can be good. The cast says it alone.
All Right, dude played a badass in Luke Cage, and
now you're gonna give him a role where he's a
superheo killing vampires. Yeah?

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Work?

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Can we sign up? Now? Is there a petition I
need to sign to get this out any earlier? Do
you need? What are they called extras? I'll be an extra?
What do you that's I want? I want to see
this film. I don't know how I could be how
more excited I could be about it, But the fact
that they are committed to getting this film out, Yeah,
I don't want them to rush it. Sure, if it
takes you four years, I'm okay with that.

Speaker 2 (47:38):
I in fint he wouldn't be saying this stuff if
there was any galley. He's saying this because they are
clearly maybe a little bit further down the road than anything.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
That's fine and that's great. Keep that in the dark.
Don't launch a trailer to twenty twenty six, yes, at
least in twenty twenty seven of December.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
Whatever.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
I don't care. Do whatever you need to do to
make a good product. Because again Blade one was a hit,
Blade two great, Blade three, but it was okay. I
understood the story. It was just you know, I get it.
It's hard to to come back and give you another good, good, good,
good film. It's really hard to do. But I think
Blade kicked off really well. They came back to Blade

(48:14):
to I said, goddamn, how they do it? And then
Blade three? Okay, And now you're saying, what twenty four twenties,
five years later, we're gonna give another injection of action,
and we're gonna bring this new character who will be
so good and yeah, he's he's good in everything he does.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
I think I think that Marvel would be smart. You know. Obviously.
The whole thing is, you know, bringing it together and.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
Keep it rated. R I don't want to see a
PG thirteen stickers, don't don't, don't fall for though we
want to get a bigger Nah, damn all that get
that rated R Bloody Door, which was which it was
based upon. This was Marvel's first rated R movie that
was oh successful, So go ahead and keep it that way.
Don't dumb it down for the you know, thirteen year
old kids. I want to go see it. Well, if

(48:55):
they want to go see it, bringing a dope with you,
that's the only way you get it.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Let it be separate of the multi or let it
be separate. Oh yeah, Let Blade be Blade's thing, please.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
Don't you guys did with well the thing with X
with Wolverine and what's his face?

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Well Deadpool? Yeah, but see know I think that they
did that. Okay, but I didn't say it, but I
heard it. They sort of they sort of let it
be its own thing in the third movie. I didn't
think they were in the third movie they were gonna
let it be it's something. I thought they were going
to fold it in. They really didn't fold it in
that much at all. To the MCU. Really, Deadpool is
still on its own and in its own universe. Let

(49:30):
Blade be that. Let Blade be in its own universe
and just develop it as its own project. Because I
don't know how old mahrschel Ali is. But he has
a couple of these movies in him at least. I
feel like he's still young enough to you know, if
he puts one out in twenty twenty seven, then he
could put a second one out in twenty years old. Yeah,
so there you go. If he if he makes two
of these or three of these next ten years, then yeah,

(49:53):
he looks young still. He can pull it off, and
he's a damn good actor to do it. So I
love it. So that's great news. There. The other other
thing coming out of D twenty three in Brazil, apparently
that wasn't Marvel related, was Disney is developing a live
action Lee Loan Stitch movie. A big, big fan of
the original Lee Loan Stitch or the animated version. I'm

(50:13):
not a big fan of animated stuff, but I sure
do love it when Disney does it. Uh the first
live action Look at Stitch now should be mentioned and
tell me if I'm off here. I don't think Disney
has done a great Maybe they did one good, but
I don't think they've done a good or great live
action movie.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
No, it's tough to do.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
It's been failure after failure after failure, and mufoss is
coming out in December. Reid eager to see on streaming,
but not in the theater. But I'll watch it at home.
But I will say the live action look that we
got of stitch this, you know, Little Alien Monster, it
looks freaking great. I hope it looks really I think
I just saw you the picture. It looks really really good.

(50:55):
So if you're gonna if you're gonna have that good
of you know, visuals, Okay, okay, just make sure the
story is in long.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
What are your thoughts on Sonic real quick?

Speaker 2 (51:05):
You know what Sonic is right if you're in the
right mindset. When I watched the first one, I had
a couple of drinks in me and I laughed, and
I found it mildly enjoyable for a night when the
wife was gone and there were no sporting events. On
the second one, I needed probably four drinks to get
through about half of it, and then I decided to

(51:25):
turn on something else. So, but listen, I think that
I think that it's it's certainly like I think for kids,
it's absolutely there. Obviously, they've been doing a lot of
these products with knuckles and shadow so it's being successful.
It seems fun and I see what they're going for
and maybe it's just not me personally, but as a concept,

(51:47):
and having seen the first one, yeah, I could see
how a lot of people would like it.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
Gotcha? Okay? Fair enough?

Speaker 2 (51:53):
Do you are you? Are you of a fan?

Speaker 1 (51:54):
Then somewhat?

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Someone?

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (51:58):
So? How much of it have you watched? All the
way through the New Shadow one?

Speaker 1 (52:02):
I'm all caught up. I'm all caught up, knuckles the
show everything? Okay, I lie, So I've watched both movies.
Haven't started the show. I think my fiance has. She'd
be watching all the type of shows that I know
nothing about. It's when I'm not home that she does
all the stuff that I'm like, what you're watching this?
I would love to watch it, but screw you, you're
already watching it. I haven't started, have you? No? See?

Speaker 2 (52:23):
I have not gone that deep just because I like
the product, but I don't like it enough to do.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
But I'm okay with probably not viewing it. I think
I'll go see the third one.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Yeah, Keanu Reeves is the kind of the the new
character Shadows.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
So he's gonna behow okay, So I'm already wanting to
go see it, but I didn't know kenull Reeves was
gonna be the bad man, so even yeah, just because
that's a cool little cast. And I thought the second
one was a little cheesy and maybe it didn't perfect.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
That's where it lost me, see, was the cheesiness. And
I think if you if you kind of bring it
back down with three, see, I might go see Having
seen half of two, I might go just go see
three because the reality is, like I think, I think,
is if you're in the right mindset, and you know,
if you know the theater I go to in Federal Way,
there's a Buffalo Wow Wings next to it. So let's see.

(53:10):
If I go have a few drinks of Buffalo Wow
Wings then stumble my way into go seeing Sonic three,
then that might be where you catch me for that.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
No, I feel you on that. So I'm in just
because I enjoyed the first two films for the most part,
and why not go see it? You know, that's something
as a kid, you played video games, and that's something
that I think they're doing a really cool thing, is
bringing video games to life. Yeah, they didn't do a
really great job with Halo, but I'm a Halo guy.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
I enjoyed it. I'm also so it kind of sucked
that ruined.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
They didn't do a great job of it, but I
understood the vision, and maybe in fifteen twenty years they
do a movie and the movie touches on just the
video game, not before Maschie became Matage, because.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
I really just do the video game.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
That's just that's all I wanted to.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
Do the goddamn video game.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
They decided to try and go deeper, and I just
didn't care about his past, Like, give me when they
are on the pillar of autumn and go from there.
It's really that simple. So with Sonic, I don't remember
playing it that much, but I remember the video game,
so I don't know how much of the game they
have started in the first movie and up to this point,
but it seems like they did a good job. So

(54:17):
that's all I would say in twenty years, whenever they
want to make a Halo movie, just go play the
video game and make it the movie and give me
three of them four.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
The story in the game is so good, it's.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
Such a movie on its own, and it's a video game.
I would sit there and watch the opening credits because
I'm just excited to play Halo. I just can't wait
to see what they've done. You should add that to
the trailer. But nonetheless that I just to encompass the
entire conversation around Sonic. I think it's done well, I'll
go see the third one. Can't wait to see what

(54:49):
they happen. Think about think about it.

Speaker 2 (54:51):
If you made I think in a movie, you could
do Halo one, Halo two together in one movie. Got
something A long movie, I know, but three, I mean
three out like that's you know, if you were to
do epics right, And.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
I'm not mad at it.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
I don't want to spoil to folks who haven't And
because seriously, if the thing is I don't know, I don't.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Halo sold how many games, let's say twenty million games
the end the end.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
Of the end of Halo two and with the cliffhanger
not so cliffhanger at the end of Halo two. I
don't do that in a movie. Yeah, yes, please, yeah,
why not? That stuff would be And you can.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
Make comics in the movies, why can you do with
video games? Uh?

Speaker 2 (55:26):
Speaking of comics and speaking of comedy, it's about time
we transition to the final part of Tonight's Hollywood Weekly,
the final part of our show tonight. Uh listen. So
the reason why we're gonna do this tonight is because
Anderson has made it clear he's not a big fan
of the raunch Colm. Like, obviously there were things called
rom comms, and we all know the rom comms, and

(55:46):
that's the one where you know, for us, I'm sure
our wives are big into rom comms. My wife sure is.
I'm I don't whatever I can, I can leave those
at the door. What I love is kind of how
I think when we hit somewhere in the mid to
late nineties, early two thousands, we morphed into the Raunchcolm,
the raunchy comedy, and Anderson, for some reason, he doesn't

(56:10):
like these movies. I, for the life of me, will
never understand how you don't like the movies we're about
to talk about, But these just aren't for him. And
I love the fact, Chris, that we can then take
our chance while he's not here to talk about some
of the great movies of this decade. Because the raunch
comedies don't necessarily get made anymore, you have little things

(56:33):
here and there that kind of, you know, I think
we talked about it, maybe in the first episode the
No Hard Feelings with Jennifer Lawrence you have bottoms that
came out a couple or maybe as that was last year.
That basically the modern day version of Not Another Teen Movie.
You have these these things that are kind of pushing
to get back to that era. But raunchy comedies don't
happen like they did between two thousand and two thousand

(56:57):
and nine. That was the era of the raunchy comedy
where it was just thriving in that time. But now
we live in a different state of comedy and it
is what it is. But we will always have these movies, uh,
from you know, this age and for our generation, Chris,
I think these are the movies that I have always

(57:17):
and probably will always connect to what I like in
a comedy.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
No, I hear you, man. There were so many that
popped into my head that just I just start cracking
up thinking about it. And I've watched these movies over
and over and my fan's like, Hey, I'm not.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
Gonna watch the movie with you because he goes.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
In, Oh damn bad, I'm I'm sorry. They're just so
good and there's so many things that resonate and just
hit home and make you laugh, and gosh, there's just
so many of them.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
There's so much, so many of these, And like, I
think what we're gonna do is, we're gonna do a
top where it's gonna give our top personal top five,
will count down from five to one and it's and
then we'll kind of get into some ones that miss
our list. So obviously we're gonna be able to talk
about each one of these as we go. We're not
drafting or anything, so we're gonna repeat each other, I
imagine at least somewhere. So why don't you start with

(58:03):
your number five?

Speaker 1 (58:04):
Oh this is tough. Yeah, I probably will miss out
on one, but if I had to go with like
five down to one, number five would be Black Night
with Martin Lawrence. Oh my goodness. It is hilarious. And
the fact that he's just dropped into a time of
like this, I think it's the eighteenth century and everyone
speaking English like this, and you are Moore and he's
just like, what y'all fake? And man, this ain't real.

(58:26):
And then he's like, I'm really back in time, like
and I think I came out in early two thousand
and one. Just a hilarious movie.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
I remember watching that on the b.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
And you can't even take it serious. That's another thing,
like you not suppose to take the movie serious, and
you find yourself like, this is actually like pretty entertaining.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
I think I was on a bus in junior high
to and from some sort of a ski snowboard.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
It was fourteenth century, my apologies.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
And a bunch of us in the group on the
bus all were watching it mm hmm. And I just
remember there was a group about ten of us who
were up on the bus because Mark that was That
was such a quotable movie with Mark Lawrence because he
was he was rolling at that point in Hollywood and he.

Speaker 1 (59:08):
Was on fire. Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom
boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom. So yeah,
that's that's just one that it's very under the radar.
I don't know if it was like a box office hit, No.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
It wasn't, but it was definitely It's in that kind
of niche area.

Speaker 1 (59:23):
It's just like you see it and you just start laughing,
and he's funny throughout the entire film.

Speaker 2 (59:28):
Like, when has Martin Lawrence not been funny?

Speaker 1 (59:30):
That's another thing.

Speaker 2 (59:31):
Even even in Bad Boys for Life, he's still funny
twenty five years later.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
And it's crazy. I have a couple of movies that
are like ninety eight, ninety nine Blue Streak. You know
that was a good one. When he's trying to steal
the diamond and he's he's his friends are all they're
all bank robbers, and they're they're there. They wanted, they
wanted to go. They went and try to steal this
diamond from this building, and they do it successfully, but
one of his friends turns on him and wants to

(59:57):
take the diamond to him for himself, so he ends
up stealing it back from his friend, and then.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
He hides it in a building.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
He's able to hide in a building, and he remembers
the street where it's connected. He goes to prison for
like ten years. He gets out and guess what's built
where he hit the diamond? Guess what building's there now?

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
Just guess, well, guess what building is there.

Speaker 1 (01:00:16):
Guess what type of building is there now? For workers
there's people, Guess what type.

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
Of building it is.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
I was gonna say a church, No, even worse a
police station. So now not only is this diamond still
in the building, it's at a police station. So he
has to try to find a way to get it back,
and he ends up becoming a police officer so he
can get a diamond. And it's just a crazy film
that in the early two thousands, you can see how
someone desperate will be like, I gotta come, I gotta

(01:00:44):
be a car. This is the only way I can
get this damn thing, and he It's just a funny
movie and he does his best to avoid the being
authorities in it. Unfortunately came out in ninety nine, so
it can't be on my list, But that was definitely
when I say, oh yeah, Blue Streak, and then I realized,
ohkme on ninety nine, so well, I love none.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
Black Knight's a great call.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
Yeah, Black Knight, My five, Jackson, what is your number? Five?

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
I Love you man? With Jason Siegel and Paul Rudd
and Rashida Jones. I for me like I was an
only child and finding bro relationships and finally like like
like dudes to bro out with and you know, you know,
slap at a bass with uh That has always been
a thing that I've connected with and the the the

(01:01:26):
run of Paul Rudd trying to have, you know, have
that same feeling I connect with a lot I love
I Love You Man. I think Jason Siegel is great
in Knit, you know, and in kind of a complex
character when you look at it, and and Rashida Jones
I think plays really well into the whole dynamic there.
But at the end of the day, it's just it's
a feel good bro movie. It's it's one for all

(01:01:48):
guys to say, you know, when you need a guy's night,
if when you need just a guide to just brow
out with. This is this is the type of connection
that we're all looking for. And and the in it,
you know, I think it also it doesn't I don't
know if it's necessarily as much of a one liner
movie as it is a you know, just feel good

(01:02:09):
movie that has lots of great comedy elements to it.
And it's one of my just basic favorite movies. So
I had to get I Love You Man on the
list at my number five.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
Well, you can know number four and I'll go right
after you.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
So number four is very, very hard. It's tough because
I wanted to fit I Love You man on the list.
I knew it was gonna be the last one because
it's just a personal touch to me. Number four is
when we get into the actual fundamental great comedies here
and alternatively, where that wasn't a one liner movie, this
one is. It's Borat. I absolutely loved the original Borat

(01:02:47):
because it just it took over the zeitgeist for a
good three four years. I mean, you couldn't go five
steps and in junior high without people, you know, saying
nice or you know what, any nice or not or
any sort of line that from from Borat. I mean,
like I remember having an iPod Mini and you know,

(01:03:08):
and I would just reference the iPod Mini line all
the time, and you know, there's just all these one liners,
and it was I think it was really kind of yes,
you can say how much real and how much wasn't real.
But it was a great look at America itself in
that you know, mid two thousands range. I think it
was like oh six or something where you know, this,
this is what America's makeup is right now, and I

(01:03:30):
thought it did a great job of highlighting that while
also putting in just a wild character who is forcing
people into these uncomfortable situations, which I love. I thought
they did it very well on Sasha Baron Cohen. It's
just his masterpiece. I loved Borat. I'm not sure how
you feel about it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
Oh it was crazy. Didn't love it? Boy, it was
it was crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
Love it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:52):
It was crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
So it's not making your list. It didn't make my list.

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
No. My fourth one is actually going to White Chicks
with Marlon Wayne's and brother Sean Wayne's. I thought that
was just two and early two thousands to have two
black guys dressing up as white women undercover. Where else
could you get some comedy like that? And they did
a really good job being white woman, uppity blonde, and
my god, like I really enjoyed that. And shout out

(01:04:16):
to the white community for taking that and laughing with
it and not becoming defensive. Oh why can't we end
up we all understand why certain things are allowed. And yeah,
that was just.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
The prosthetics were so good.

Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
Yeah, it was like it was like it looked ridiculous before. Yeah, yeah,
I don't want to Yeah that that movie is just it.
It's so funny.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
Oh, it's been so long since I've seen it, but
that might be due for another watch, because that's just hilarious,
genuinely funny, genuinely funny movie, and it did in.

Speaker 1 (01:04:45):
A clever way, and I thought they just nailed it.
Two black dudes turned into white chicks and it was.
It was freaking hilarious. I don't know where else to
go with it. If you haven't seen White Chicks, give
it againder.

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
I think I think it's one that every community can
at least get a chuckle at, even like we're very different,
we clearly have different tastes. But I thought that was
a very funny movie. I honestly thought it was in
the late nineties, so I just had to google and see.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
Oh yeah, I believe it came out in three that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:17):
You're clearer for that. All right, we'll go to number three.

Speaker 1 (01:05:19):
Number three, Oh just now gets I'm gonna go with
Tropic Thunder. Number three. I gotta go. Tropic Thunder was
just as crazy as my guy was iron Man from
putting on black face. He did it in a way
where I was kind of like, you know, I don't
know if that's racist.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
I'm a dude playing a dude disguises another dude.

Speaker 1 (01:05:39):
And it's like usually you get backlash for whatever reason.
I was like, I get it. I don't know how
I get it, because it's not you. You're not supposed
play black face. It's just not you know, you don't
do this conversation.

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
With the rapper in that scene where they he pulls
him tight and he starts singing the theme song to.

Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
The Jefferson It's just it's one of those movies that
I couldn't believe how funny it was until I watched it,
and I was like, this movie is hilarious.

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
Tom Cruise in maybe the best that role Tom Cruise.

Speaker 1 (01:06:06):
That scene where he's yelling, this is flaming jagged, Oh really,
f face, Why don't you literally take a step back
and your own face? And he's just dead serious, name
one in the rooms, just like.

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
This is did you see the size of his hands? Yes,
he was wearing prosthetic in his hands, like three times lark.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
Chest, this Islex Grossman, who is this? This is flaming dragon?
Oh really, f face? Just a great movie.

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
And then thea just calm down, take a step back
and your own face.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
Yeah. Uh, that scene right there I think had me.
I think I had to be winded because at that
time you could actually wind movies and get to see
it again. So I will we whined that so many times.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
My wife saw it for the first time two years
ago and just was rolling on the floor laughing.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
It's one of those scenes where you're just like, God,
did he do that on his.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
Own bench Stiller and then he's you never go full
our word and it's just, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
A hilarious movie all around Jack. Where else can you
go wrong? Man? So that'll be my third pick.

Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
Such a good pick that was on my on my
uh you know what, what's the things the things that
didn't make the top five, but honorable mentions because that
is such a fantastic movie. Uh my number three. My
wife's gonna hate me. She's gonna be mad that I
didn't take this number one. But it's step Brothers, Step
Brothers with John c Riley and Will Ferrell. Also all

(01:07:32):
of the one liners and just the back and forth
between the two, the ball sack on the drum set,
the boat like, can I say boats and hose? Well,
I guess it's boats and hose I say booty hole. Yeah.
So the song there, you know, Prestige Worldwide and the
music video for that but also the other the other
little things that went into Step Brothers. The Adam Scott

(01:07:54):
character is the brother in law, or there's the brother.
Then you have the sister in law, the wife of
Adam Scott's character, who is played by Funny Enough, the
woman who also plays Agatha Okay, Kristen Hanno, Catherine han
So she's in there and she plays a hilarious role.
Just all of the little character dynamics the mom Mary
Stein version. Everybody plays off of each other at an

(01:08:18):
a level game. And the script is so tight and
so fun, whether it's burying you know, the guy alive,
just all of the little things that play into this
movie and all of the directions that they take. It's
for me. It's it's hard not to have it any
higher than three because it's just so damn good. But

(01:08:38):
Step Brothers is I think, unequivocally one of the best
of the decade. All right, go to your number two hangover.
The hangover is coming in number two, and I kind
of like said, so you might know where I'm going
number one later, but the hangover's number two because I
don't think I remember going into it in the theater,
and like it's a couple of friends and son it
and saems like it's so funny. You have to see

(01:09:00):
the Hangover, And it turned out to be so much
funnier than I ever imagined. And just like you don't
see the crazy stuff that comes, whether it's you know,
Ken Jong jumping naked out of the back of a limousine,
you know, Mike Tyson, you know, punching a guy when
they wake up and you are not wake up, but
they go and then Mike Tyson's singing this or no,

(01:09:21):
it's Andy, it's Andy's character from the Office Ed Helms
singing the song about Mike Tyson punching him, Mike Tyson
playing the piano whatever. It was like all these little
things that just make you absolutely roll on the floor laughing.
Doug eventually being on the roof something that like you
could have seen from the very start. I thought it
all tied together really well in just a weird, stupid,

(01:09:46):
hilarious picture. It barely edges out Step Brothers. For me,
it's like, you know, on the comedy meter, we're talking
like ninety eight to ninety nine. But I think Hangover
for for what it tried to do and for what
it pulled off. I think the scene where they're all
driving to the wedding changing in there, and you have
Zach Galfanakis changing in his underwear in the back of
a really nice Mercedes rolling down the freeway from Vegas

(01:10:10):
to LA was an absolutely hilarious scene. I hangover. Is
is one of the ald timers for me.

Speaker 1 (01:10:17):
Unfortunately I forgot to mention this one, but I will
put it as an honorable mention before I get to
remember two. Yeah, and that's Evolution. Oh my goodness. Add
two thousand and one. You have Orlando Jones, he's in it.
You have David Duchardy, I don't know, David Duckveney, Ducoveney,
he's in it. Sean William Scott is in it. And

(01:10:39):
my goodness, it's one of those films that I crack
up to this day. I will go back and watch it. Honorable.

Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
Never seen this? Ah, what is this? What is this movie?

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
So a meteor hits Earth and in this meteor it's
carrying alien life form and Orlando Jones I believe he's
a school teacher. He teams up with his friend David
I say, lay the company. They team up and they're
trying to stop aliens from dominating the world, and it
ends up being just this chaos of just hilariousness, stuff

(01:11:13):
you'd never think would be in a movie regarding aliens.
It I don't know where else to start.

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
I currently have the trailer up and it seems very odd.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
So it's very odd. But that's an honorable mention. My
number two, Yes, number two, I will have to go
with Next Friday.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
It was I was wondering. I was wonder if you
Friday is.

Speaker 1 (01:11:33):
Yes Next Friday? That that man, that movie is just
so funny. The first film was good, but I didn't
think it was that funny. It was kind of serious,
but it was had his funny moments. Next Friday they
bring in Mike Ebs and he just steals the show.
So I have to go with that as my second.
That was just hilarious. I love the franchise, but number
two wins my heart for comedy, and it's just one

(01:11:54):
of those that's staple when you and your homeboys kicking it. Hey, bro,
put on Friday, man, oh, next Friday, let's watch So yeah,
that's something that growing up couldn't watch right our movies.
But when I got to an age where I could.
That was the first thing I wanted to see because
all my friends are like, oh, we ain't seen Friday.
My mom was very strict in that regard, like, hey,
you're thirteen, you're not teen radar movie, son, that's just
not happening. There's stuff you don't need to see yet.

(01:12:14):
At that age, I'm like, what all my friends are
seeing it? You're not your friends, baby boy. So when
I got to see it, I was like, Okay, this
was worth it. It was worth the wait. And then
my number one movie. How could I not? I already
mentioned it earlier. I'm gonna go Rush Hour too. I mean,
my goodness, you can't. The movie is so good and
hilarious that if they wanted to re release it, they

(01:12:35):
couldn't do it today, just because of some of the
stuff that was said. Okay, but my gosh, the comedic
element between Jackie Chan and Chris speaking of his speaker.
It's not Chris Chris, yeah, no, uh oh, I can't
get my man's name, Chris Tucker. It is Chris Tucker.
Excuse me. It's just I don't know. It was a
match made in heaven. Those two and Rush Hour two

(01:12:56):
were incredible, just incredible. That's a movie I could over
and over again, and I will say every line. My goodness, Jackson,
just pull a picture.

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
Well s.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
Man, I never hit a one before. But Joe aff
is putting it like I think.

Speaker 2 (01:13:13):
I think that it's so funny in the modern day,
when we've we've moved, and this kind of goes to
why we're doing this, the the idea that we've moved
out of the these types of comedies, the comedies that
you couldn't do today because the scripts were a certain
way where you couldn't make them in twenty twenty four.
And I understand that being something that happens, but I

(01:13:34):
also understand that sometimes it's you. We view things and
we get to laugh at things that we don't say
in our normal lives, and if they we do see them,
they can be funny. We just have to understand that
these movies are trying to be comedic. This isn't supposed
to be a commentary on life, This isn't supposed to
be a real life. We can enjoy when comedy is

(01:13:57):
just going a completely left direction of what we think
should be real life and real conversations. That's freaki ten.

Speaker 1 (01:14:05):
That's a miszet in a bath ro man. Let's go
down and bust them. Freaky ten is a very dangerous man. Literally,
I'm a burious, dangerous man. Let's go up there and
bust some man. Come on, man, you mean that's like
there's just so much can do.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
Listen, Okay, I understand the word midget right, that word
was used, so maybe you changed that. But at the
same time, like you can still do a lot of
the the meat and potatoes. Is there to do another
rush hour?

Speaker 1 (01:14:28):
I think I think they just they're just afraid of
being themselves, because that's the one thing they are going
to be. They're going to say things that in this
day and age in twenty twenty four are when you
have people that have now he they them, there's a
certain aspect where there's just things that maybe they would
be comfortable doing. The jokes that were said between Tucker

(01:14:48):
and Chan, I will slap you back to the main Dynasty,
I'll bitch slap you back to Africa, Like, those are
things that if we're said in present day, someone would
take high offense. We're back in the day that was
just a funny ass. Joe and you knew these two
were they were beefing with each other, but it was
all fun in love.

Speaker 2 (01:15:04):
At the end of the day.

Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
They were trying to solve a case. They're trying to
bring someone home, They're trying to do their job, but
they just have had a funny way of going about it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
Going back to that phrase, though, somebody's gonna be somebody's
gonna feel attacked.

Speaker 1 (01:15:14):
Yeah, someone's gonna feel attacked.

Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
I would say let them feel attacked.

Speaker 1 (01:15:18):
Yes, But I don't think they want to put up
with that because what can now nowadays, what are movies doing.
They're just eliminating certain scenes they could easily like Necklace
can say oh well, we don't want to deal with
that backlash, We'll just cut that scene out. I don't
know how many times I wanted to go watch a
movie somewhere or on something online and I'm like, wait
a second, where's the scene at? Oh well, because of
this time we're living in, we decided to remove what

(01:15:39):
what you decided?

Speaker 2 (01:15:41):
You just what do you mean?

Speaker 1 (01:15:43):
It's a movie, it's not real life, This is not
based on a true story. This is comedic adventure. Let
these dudes be themselves and let it roll. And I
don't know if that's the reason why they haven't made one.
I know they're getting older. It's not like Chris.

Speaker 2 (01:15:56):
I was just gonna say, Chris Tucker's only fifty three. Yeah,
he's still plenty young.

Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
I know that the jokes that they did at that time,
if they were to re release this movie, you couldn't
put in theaters. There would just be so many people crying,
Oh hell say, oh bitch slapping back to Africa. That's right,
you know, like that's just the climate we are in now.
Back then two thousand and one or two thousand and
two when it came out, I was laughing my butt
off because I know it was a joke and there

(01:16:21):
wasn't this heightened animosity towards.

Speaker 2 (01:16:24):
The racial quote unquote jokes that were being said.

Speaker 1 (01:16:27):
It was more so it's a joke laden to me,
just like comedians now, they can't say some of the
things they want to say because the communities that they
are teasing take high offense to it. They don't see
it as a joke. They see it as, Oh, you're
attacking me as a person because I did this to
my body, or I am now deciding to use a pronoun.
They feel attached changed I don't know. I think I

(01:16:50):
just think that's just the reality of the situation of life.
Were evolving, and we're evolving in a way that makes
people uncomfortable. And when things are uncomfortable, people want change,
and when people climbing for change, things change. And this
movie there's just no way that they can release something

(01:17:11):
to that magnitude, right, I think they can do it.
I don't want to reserve Rush Hour. I want Rush
Off for what it is, Asian dude, black man, solving
crime together, making racial jokes, making hilarious jokes. You are
black man on Crenshaw with a Chinese restaurant. Man, you
embarrassing yourself, man, Like that's real facts. You are a

(01:17:32):
black man with a Chinese restaurant on Crenshaw. Like, come on.

Speaker 2 (01:17:37):
As funny as that is, people.

Speaker 1 (01:17:39):
Will take high offense STA for whatever reason. Oh, you
can't be multi multidiversity or what. I can't get the
words out. But my point is it's just one of
those films where it's good for the time it was at.
Because if that dropped in twenty twenty four, oh my god,
producers would get fired. They would be out with pitchforks.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
Ben.

Speaker 1 (01:17:55):
It just wouldn't be a good fit. But for me
growing up, that was great. I enjoyed it the second
of that movie.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
I think that's the thing with these movies is that
we grew up with this type of comedy, and we
love this type of comedy, and I get it for
genuine for gen z. They just can't watch this without
you know.

Speaker 1 (01:18:12):
I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:12):
That's stupid.

Speaker 1 (01:18:13):
Okay, well, I guess it's stupid, all right. Any I'm
not gonna argue with you about it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
Maybe that goes to the fact that our comedy tastes
different from our parents parents comedy. I would say that
we're talking about the golden generation of comedy. This is
the golden generation of comedies, and based on I think
we've seen an attempt to get back into this sort
of over the last five years or so, we've seen
an attempt to push towards comedy. But I think we're
very clearly seeing that it will never be what it

(01:18:39):
was in this decade. My number one is Super Bad.
Super Bad. I think I wanted to put that in there,
but I hear you, it's the gold standard it is
we have. You know, we have a clip in the
open from Super bad for me. It's it's the best
comedy ever made. It is the king of one liners.
It is I think the king of character dynamics playing

(01:19:01):
off each other. I mentioned with the whole dynamic of
just bros with I Love You Man. I think this fill,
you know, fills right into it where eventually the two
of the characters, Jonah Hill, they make it back to
one of their houses and they basically are just like
it's almost as if they're crawling in bed together and
just reflecting on a night of two guys. It's just

(01:19:22):
it's it's it really checks all the boxes off. The
minor characters all hit really well. Joe Lutriglio, Bill Hayter,
Seth Rogan, everybody hits so perfectly in the movie. From
the little scenes of the of Jonah Hill, who can't
stop drawing penises and then gets caught, you have I

(01:19:45):
forget who was I'm blanking on the guy's name, but
he's staring at the girl's boobs in class and then
she catches him and he just stares up into the ceiling.
The little five second shots in that movie that just
happened over and over and over. Mclovin, it's just I
think it's just the perfect comedy in so many different areas.

Speaker 1 (01:20:07):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:20:07):
Said, those are our top five man now honorable mentions.
We should quickly get through these. I have a few
of them, Talladegan Knights Forgetting Sharah Marshall, Wedding Crashers, Anchorman,
The Legend of Ron Burgundy, and Harold and Kumar, both
Harold and Kumar's Oh My Castle, Gano Bay, you cannot
do those movies at all.

Speaker 1 (01:20:27):
Oh my gosh, the stuff that they were doing, my goodness, hilarious.
But boy, those those they couldn't even get another job
if they did those movies today.

Speaker 2 (01:20:35):
I think they should try for three.

Speaker 1 (01:20:36):
I really wish they would, because those movies are hilarious.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
If anybody's gonna do it and push the boundaries, I
think it's those two. John Chow is now a big
enough star where he could pull it off. And I mean,
why am I blanking them that he ended up working
the other guy end up working for the Obama administration.
Actually he was all he was in house. He became
a massive star and was a big deal even outside
of Hollywood. I think they they've had established enough careers

(01:21:02):
where I think they could pull off and yes, again,
it would be reserved, but I think they could do it,
so Harold and Kumar, both Harold and Kumar's I absolutely
love What are your honorable mentions before we get out
of here?

Speaker 1 (01:21:11):
Oh that I just named Evolution as one that was
kind of one that stood out to me. And now
I'll just leave it at Evolution. I think that one.
I've never seen that, so considering you've never seen it,
I kind of want you to watch that today. I
don't know what you have planned, but I know I
threw three shows that you lying out right Outer Banks.
But now you got to talking about comedy. I really
want to see Evolution just because you can see how
crazy and funny that movie is. There's just one scene

(01:21:34):
that stands out to me just because it's hilarious with
Orlando Jones, and I want you to go watch that today.
So that's my homework for you for this week today technically, but.

Speaker 2 (01:21:43):
I'll get it done eventually.

Speaker 1 (01:21:44):
I know you will.

Speaker 2 (01:21:44):
So yeah, all right, that's it. We we really hit
all the different dimensions. Thank you all for listening. We'll
have Anderson Hurst, I think back from well before he
before he gets back from South America. He'll also probably
go to Africa, then he'll hit Asia, and he'll hit
Europe before find finally flying back to Seattle. We'll have
him back next week. We'll have a new draft, we'll

(01:22:05):
have new things to talk about. Christopher Kidd, Jackson Felts.
Make sure you follow us C Kid two O six
and Jackson on radio wherever you get us, especially there
on Twitter. Thank you for listening to Hollywood Weekly. We'll
talk to you next week. Everybody,
