Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Welcome back to us the podcast exclusively for people who
aren't gonna fall for that banana and the tailpipe. We're
your host as always. I'm Nick and I'm Andre And
did I stump you again?

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:33):
The Great Axle Foley.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Okay, so yeah, I've I've watched Beverly Hills Cop once.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
You're not gonna fall for the banana and the tailpipe.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Like you'd be surprised at once, you'd be surprised how
many movies I've only just watched once.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Listen, I did almost all of them. That Top Fair
is not your thing, but we're talking about like wuent
essential movie here, like this was on road.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
As for me, it didn't hit me. Like I didn't
watch like Tommy Boy until I was like almost in
my twenties. I didn't watch like all the SNL movies.
I didn't really watch. I think I got got the
worst one. Uh no offense to uh to not scherioh Terry,
uh Molly Shannon. But Superstar I think.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Was Pat was pretty bad.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Pat was bad, but I didn't see that one. I
think that was a little before. Like like the SNL people,
even alumni like uh Eddie who had already established himself
in Hollywood. I think the first time I really got
to new know Eddie Murphy honestly was Doctor Doolittle.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Oh good lord man.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, so he was like trying to transition to like
family affair and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Man, uh, work on that.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
I think my family shielded me from like because I
think my my family was a family who watched stand
up and I think Raw and stuff like that. I
think that was even a little too much for my parents.
And like, I didn't watch Raw until like I was
like in my twenties too, So oh.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
I understand, I get it. But the eighties were a
magical time. A lot of cocaine and a lot of
Eddie Murphy.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
I haven't watched Coming to America until I met you, Honestly,
I didn't even know about Coming up to America until
I met you.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
So good.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
I've also only watched that one time.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Oh my god, No, I real quick, before we get
into the meat and potatoes of this episode, I want
to go over the eighties for Eddie Murphy real quick.
Movie wise, all right, forty eight hours amazing. I've never
creating places amazing.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I've watched that a bunch.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Beverly Hills cop amazing, super underrated, The Golden Child. I
enjoyed it. I know that a lot of people don't
like it, but the Beverly Hills too. He comes out
with Raw and then coming to America in eighty eight
and Harlem Knights in eighty nine, just banger after banger,
and then we get his resurgence in the two thousands

(03:12):
with like Shrek and Thuddy Professor and both Inger was
a little bit before that. I don't know if you've
seen both Inger.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
I know of it. I never watched it.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Oh so fucking hilarious. Steve Martin, Heather Graham, Eddie Murphy
watch it.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
I mean, I mean Heather to Graham is great at
the slapstick too, so I mean she can hold her
own in any comedy, especially at that time.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, yeah, but yeah, the eighties were a magical time,
is what I'm trying to say. How have you been?

Speaker 2 (03:47):
I'm good, I'm tired today. I'm dealing with some running injuries,
which suck.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
They truly do.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
I mean, same old, same Oh, we're just trying to
figure it out every day.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah, I mean as an elder, as an elder millennial,
really the term that encompasses. My life is fake it
to make it, and I don't know if I'm ever
going to make it.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
I'm just trying to survive. Man, I'm just trying to survive.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Somebody sent me this today. It was it was a tweet.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
It was.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Me sitting at a computer my five year old. What
game are you playing?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Dad? Me?

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Paying bills? My kid? Are you winning?

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Me? Never? I never did, I never have. Yeah. Hey,
the thing is as much as like, it kind of sucks. Also,
like your thirties and your forties aren't that bad, they're
actually yeah, I could like your twenties are hectic at

(04:57):
least until like twenty five, it's pretty yeah, then reality
hits you. Yeah, but yeah, but it's fine. It's fine.
Do you make it through. You make it through, and
you watch some good movies.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Which is what we need to talk about because we
are rapidly approaching the month of July that is are
just gonna be jam packed full of good movies. Even
the latter part of June looks pretty damn good too.
I know you've seen some movies recently. Yes, so I'm

(05:37):
hoping pretty good movies.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
I'm not sure. Let's talk about twenty eight years later. First, okay,
just because I'm also going to talk about Jurassic World Rebirth.
I got to see it yesterday.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Twenty eight years later. It is an anomaly, man. Now
I have not seen it yet. I have not had
an opportunity. The shoe owing, the one early showing that
I had an opportunity to go to, was completely sold
out at my theater, which is great. I'm glad. I's
great to hear it was sold out. But you know,

(06:11):
we've got Danny Boyle coming back for this now trilogy
of movies with twenty eight Days and twenty eight weeks later.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Twenty eight weeks.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
It is a very different film from twenty eight I
rewatch it.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
It's fine. It's actually pretty good. It's better than I
remember that. It still abandons a little bit of like
the tragedy that the first movie does, but it's it
still works within the framework and banks since in the
world of twenty eight days later, what would happen twenty
eight weeks later after a giant apocalyptic outbreak?

Speaker 1 (06:47):
So well, I this is this is the reunion of
Danny Boyle and Alex Garland. In fact, they had not
worked together since twenty eight weeks later because they had
a fallout because of the way that movie ended. They
were on opposite sides of the spectrum of how they

(07:07):
felt that twenty eight weeks Later should have ended. So
they hadn't really worked together in this type of capacity
since twenty eight weeks later, So I think it's it's
kind of cool that we're getting them back together for
this what I would call a legacy sequel that has

(07:28):
divided some critics, but I think the vast majority of
people seeing this movie think that it's pretty damn good,
and it's pretty much a miracle that it is as
good as it is.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
I think, Okay, over the last couple of years, a
couple of movies have really perfected that third act, at
least in the genre space. I mean, this movie in
general it works as well, but Nope had a perfect
third act, and I think twenty eight weeks later, twenty

(08:03):
eight years later has a perfect third act.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
It's that's that's high praise, because Nope's third act is immaculate.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Nick I cried probably about like three times in the
last thirty minutes of Wow of twenty eight years Later,
probably maybe two times, maybe three, uh, But there it's
just I've seen it twice. I did not enjoy it
as I had I didn't know how to gather my
thoughts on on twenty eight years later after I saw

(08:33):
it the first time, because there were some certain editing
and camera tricks that they used, and I had seen
like some before behind the scenes images before the movie
had even come out. It's like been months ago, and
I completely forgot about it. There was a rig with
about like twenty cameras attached to it, and it just
it was attached to are they all they were all

(08:57):
pointing at an infected person, And I didn't really think
too much of it. And then I as I'm watching
the movie, there's a point where all that makes sense
where all those cameras are are used, and I didn't
like it. I really didn't like it, and really it

(09:18):
turned me off of the editing of the movie. There's
also like some early editing and probably like the first
ten to fifteen minutes that I also didn't really enjoy
that much. But then it kind of figured itself out.
It's still it felt like just a newer editor learning

(09:39):
new tricks on the job, like new techniques, Like it
was like, oh, that would be cool, here just because
he'd never used it before. That's how I felt like
whenever I first saw it. But then and I wasn't
able to truly appreciate the third act as much as
I did the second time, as it was still so fantastic,

(10:01):
and I just I didn't know how to collect my
thoughts after that first one. So I did see it again. Luckily,
I have the AMC A List, so it doesn't really
cost me anything extra. I just I pay the same
twenty two bucks a month and I can see four
movies a week if I want. That's awesome, So it's.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
So much better than mine. I get one free movie
a month and then get discounted tickets for the rest
of them for my market club.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
So there's a reason why there's like a cult of
A list because it's a great deal, Like you see
two movies a month and it pays for it. So
but then I saw it like a second time, and
it's a fantastic movie. It's really great. It's like it

(10:48):
took my initial thought of it just because I knew
it was a great movie, but I didn't know how
I felt about it. I put it a four star
on letterbox, but then I made it a four and
a half. After the second time, I thought, I felt
kind of the same way I did about it, the
same way I did about Furiosa. Yeah, it's just that
is just a good movie.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
That Kuriosa was a movie that I had to watch
a few times to really appreciate.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
The second time got me. I was like, man, like,
I love Furiosa more than I love Fury Road. I know,
I've rewatched them both recently, rewatched them both recently.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
I have to rewatch them.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Then there's something about Furiosa. I think it's just because,
like you get three different stories in it instead of
just like the central story and Mad Max.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
So you said something when we first started talking offline
about twenty eight years later, the first time you watched it,
you said it felt quote too much like a part one,
And I started digging and I didn't realize it is
technically a part one.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yeah, possibly three.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Possibly three. We know that the second one, the second
part of this third movie, if you will, comes out
in January twenty twenty six. They shot them back to
twenty eight weeks from now, twenty eight years later. The
Bone Temple is what it's called.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
And then I don't make sense when you see the movie.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I figured it would, but I so
it kind of makes sense to me now after digging
a little bit remaining spoiler free thankfully that it felt
like a part one because it is. Yeah, but does
it have a defined beginning, middle, and end? Is my question?

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Like yes, for like it's like a chapter, like like
it's kind of hard, like it's if you had like
and it's not like the length of Lord of the Rings.
But you know how Lord of the Rings was kind
of put out like in the newspaper at first. Yeah,
and then it started being compiled into actual books, and

(12:49):
then it became wait, was that Lord of the Rings?

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Lord of the Rings was what book?

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Oh what? There's a book that came out that was
originally printed in the newspaper and it was just like
parts of the I can't remember. It feels like that.
It feels like this it's going to be a classic
new trilogy. I almost feel the same way about it
about Lord of the Rings. I have that much hope

(13:17):
in the future. Even though The Bone Temple's not being
directed by Danny Boyle, it's Nya da Costa who did
Candy Man. But I'm excited for.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
But Alex Gardaland wrote both of them, oh, twenty eight
years later, and.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
So I'm excited for that shape out, Shape up though,
especially after the second viewing, because Danny Boyle, like I said,
there was an part of an interview that came out
today that I read that they didn't want to market
it as a tear jerker, even though that's what it's becoming.

(13:55):
People are leaving and talking about it, how much, how
much emotion there is and and it's it's a it's
a heck of a third act, man, because there's so

(14:16):
much care in a post apocalyptic world. There's still a
lot of action there in that third act, but it's
just like there's philosophy basically is discussed within that that
last bit, and it's like it's practice and uh yeah

(14:40):
and results.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
And I want to correct something that I said earlier.
It was not twenty eight weeks later that they had
the falling out on Danny Boyle and Garden Garland had
a falling out on Sunshine. That is why Alex Scarland,
that's why Alex Garland is uncredited on twenty eight weeks
later as a as a writer, him and Danny Boyle

(15:04):
had a falling out related to the ending of Sunshine,
which is a great film. I'd like to know what
exactly they had a falling out about, because it did
turn out as a fantastic film. But yeah, also, I'm,
you know, having taken this deep dive into Danny Boyle

(15:26):
and alex Oigarland and looking up their stuff in anticipation
of going to see twenty eight years later, I am
absolutely going to do a rewatch on like the Alex
Garland collection of things that he has written and or directed.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
I try to watch Devs whenever that first came out
during the pandemic, But for some reason my Hulu like
on my like Firestick wasn't working. Like every single time
I would try and start Devs, it would just stop.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
I really enjoyed it, so I I need to try that.
But from a movie standpoint, the guy is just it's film.
He did ex Machina, he wrote Dread, He did Annihilation,
which I still think Annihilation is one of the best
movies of that entire decade.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
I love x Makina.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Man is fantastic.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
It's that's amazing.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
But he did Civil War, which I really enjoyed, Men,
which was okay, but yeah, Annihilation was brilliant.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh no, I love Annihilation. I think like Natalie Portman
and that, like, I mean, so is everybody else, like
Jennifer Jason Lee and her limited screen time is great.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Oscar Isaac, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Oscar Isaac and Tessa Thompson like that like scene there,
like in that meadow thing like not meadow, but it
was like where honestly kind of looked like animals made
out of like mesh wire. Yeah, and I think Tessa
Thompson walks away to her death and we never see her.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, yeah, I never see her. But talking about x
Makinea though, that that ending with Donald.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Gleason, Yes, when she just leaves, just leaves.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
It's so good. It's so good.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
It's I know, I need to I've only watched I
need to re watch it one or two times and
I've seen it probably three times, and it's so freaking good.
Oscar Isaac so just like charming and menacing and yeah,
like that dance is so it's like a perfect gift too.
Because also, I mean I love Oscar Isaac too, So.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah, Oscar Isaac is a brilliant actor. So fan but yeah,
so twenty eight weeks later, I'm gonna say it's a
big recommend from.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
You, I would say, so. I think twenty eight years
later is like go in just ready to open yourself up.
I will say, Aaron Taylor Johnson does like I think
it's set in the in the Scottish Islands, yes, but
I feel like Aaron Taylor Johnson uses his full British
accent and then tries to make it Scottish and it's

(18:14):
at some point it was almost unintelligible, so like.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Are we talking Brad Pitton snatch.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Or no, No, not that bad. But there's some times
where Aaron Taylor Johnson is just like putting it all on. Uh,
like I'm from Scotland, but I'm also very British.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
I mean he was real British and knows Feratu is
all I'm gonna say.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, and there's a god I love him and know Saratu,
but that role where he's just playing so like it's
kind of feminine to certain standards, but it's just like
I I don't sympathize him with him in one moment

(18:57):
of that movie, yeah, just because like I mean, I'm sad,
but I'm also not too sad so sad that I
want to fuck my my corpse wife. I think that's
what he does, right.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yeah, you're you're one hundred percent correct.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
I mean I love Emma Coorn too, but I I
yea not not her dead body.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
No, no, I'm with you. So I'm gonna say, go
see twenty eight years later. Definitely watched. Definitely watch twenty
eight days later before you go see it.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
I rewatched twenty days and weeks later, a day before
you watch, and the day of and uh, yeah it
was it. They both hold up twenty eight days later.
Obviously I get like this one.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, when I rewatched twenty eight days later, Like, I
guess it had been so long since I had watched it,
I had forgotten how I'm a thing of a film.
It was, yeah, because I was legitimately just on the
edge of my seat, like when you see Silly and
Murphy just walking through like basically an empty city London.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yeah, yeah, I said, that's like one of the biggest
dick moves in uh in cinema is using London as
a deserted wasteland by just shooting super as soon as
the sun gives you enough light, you get one shot a.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Day, you get what you get one shot, man.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
And it's so surreal that it's like you're like, man,
that is just some good at filming making. It's just
like that's a lot of work and making London look
completely empty. It's it's an impressive feat and for somebody
like back in two thousand and two. I mean, I'm

(20:49):
sure he was like probably forty eight at that moment
at that point, so he's probably a seasoned director. But yeah,
but still that like to do something like that and London,
like on the bridge, like some of the some shots
are easier than others, but.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
It's also just perfectly shot.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Like couldn't do that today, couldn't you, like you couldn't
it be impossible?

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah, So go watch watch twenty eight days later, watch
twenty eight weeks later, and then take yourselves to the
cinema and see twenty eight years later.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Yeah, it's a movie that was nearly twenty years in
the making. Twenty eight weeks later came out in two
thousand and seven, I believe so, Yes, nearly twenty years
and we got a legacy sequel that lives up to
the hype. It sounds like so.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
And then there's gonna be something that happens at the
very end of twenty eight years later. Just just roll
with it. I just if you're not British, you're probably
not gonna get it because it's a very apparently niche
British thing. It's like it's like Robbie Williams. Robbie Williams
is like super famous over there, but like he's only

(22:05):
marginally famous over here. Yeah, it's kind of probably the
same same comparison. There's gonna be something at the very end.
But you know what, we get a certain actor that
I'm pretty excited that, like we got to see him
at least another time this year, So that's okay.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
So that's twenty years later. You also went and saw
the new Jurassic Park film, Jurassic World Rebirth. Yes, I did,
starring Scarlett Johansson Jonathan Bailey. Yeah, Marsh, I believe Steven
Spielberg is back onto executive produce.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
But it was most importantly directed by Gareth Evans.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Gareth Gareth Edwards.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, Edwards Edwards. Yes, A big fan of Gareth Edwards.
Godzilla alone, I mean, the guy just knows how to
shoot scale. He did Rope One. I mean he's great.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Uh, he knows how to spectacle.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yes, And you know what, this is probably the best
Jurassic World movie, Jurassic Park movie since Jurassic Park.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
For me, I have it at number two. That might
just be recency biased, but I actually think it's because
I have Jassic World at number two, and then I
have the Lost World after that, then I have Jurassic
World three, and then I d Park three. Yeah, Jurassic
Park three, and then Fallen Kingdom and the Dominion whichever

(23:39):
one is.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
The last dominion was the previous one.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
The bug one, Yeah, it sucked. Yeah, so that's last. Yeah,
and then the one before the one before that.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
But no, I think Jurassic World Rebirth is actually a
really good movie. It it gives you that that family
element that have like their own adventure, kind of like
the like Grant Lex and Tim did in the first movie,
that you really care about, like it's the best part

(24:14):
of the movie. And then like Charlotte Johansson and Maherschel
al Lei are all great. I mean, Richard Madden is
a scumbag of course, because of course it makes sense.
He looks like it. He can play it well and honestly,
it's a great like adventure is a great kind of

(24:36):
like it's genuinely has really great like dino action. Man, Like,
there's like any scenes that have dinosaurs have our great scenes.
They're all great set pieces.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
So Okay, I want to get a little bit of.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
A single bad one.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
I want to get into the weeds here. I wanted
to do some inside baseball here because that's been problem
with the Jurassic Park franchise as a whole since probably
the first one. I felt like the quote unquote dino action,
it just hasn't looked as good since we saw it

(25:15):
for the first time in nineteen ninety three. Like there's
something to be said about in nineteen ninety three when
when you see the water go, you know, just kind
of shake a little ripple, and then you look and
there's a fucking Tyrannosaurus Rex there, and then that Tarannosaurus

(25:37):
Rex eats a guy off a toilet and then pushes
a jeep into a ditch. Like that was a spectacle
to behold, and it still looks great nearly thirty years later,
or over thirty years later.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
It does.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
It's like and then I looked at then I watched
like Lost World and I watched like the Dress World
movies and I'm like, this is fine, but it doesn't
it doesn't fill me with the same feelings of awe
that the nineteen ninety three film still does. Like I
could lost it tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
I feel like the Lost World did, because like the
scene with the in the in the the big camper
truck thing, that scene is like, sure, honestly, if if
Jurassic Park didn't exist, that would be like an all
time scene. But even compare it to it to any
scene in Jurassic Park and it doesn't hold a candle. Uh.
But that scene in that camper van and dress and

(26:36):
Lost World is like, it's a really great scene. I
just because to t Rexes, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
To t Rexes, it's gonna get weird to.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Dress and then you go to San Diego.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
I'm just saying like I was filled with awe and
inspired by nineteen ninety three Jurassic Park, like the creep, sure,
the dinosaurs in it. You know what Stan Winston was
able to do, what ILM was able to do, Like
these were marquee steps in digital and practical effects and cinema.

(27:17):
And then like I just felt like, especially in the
Jurassic World movies, the the you know, Durssic World, Fallen Kingdom,
and Dominion, like nothing caught me and was like, this
is amazing. Look at it, like you could tell the
really you know, okay done digital effects, but none of

(27:38):
the dinosaurs were like, oh man, that's a spectacle.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
I've I thought the first Jurassic World, I thought they
they they gave us enough of that. I feel like whenever,
especially whenever Chris Pratt goes into the field with the
the bronosaurses and everything like that that I've been slaughtered,
I feel like you got a bit of it there.
And then yeah, admittedly you didn't have some of that. Honestly,

(28:04):
that scale that like will kind of give you that
appearance of it being like more terrifying, like putting it
like in a no, in a more realist, not realistic situation,
because not if it's realistic.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Maybe it's just because we didn't get a shirtless Jeff
Goldbloom in those other movies. And that's why I'm a
little down on them. Life finds a way Drew.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Didn't find it in those movies. Yeah, Jeff glob Wim
even promised us and Dominion that life would find and
it didn't.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
It didn't. It did not. I've never seen a movie
go from theaters to peacocks so quickly.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
I will say, Man, Jurassic World rewirthgo see it. It's
it's I think it's the first blockbuster that's coming out
in July. I think it's the right movie to start
off July because.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
It'll come out July second.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Yea, So it's perfect, perfect way to start the summer
of movies is Jurassic Park Draassic World Rebirth because it's
a fun adventure, very tense, great set pieces, and you'll
fall in love with a family, and it's awesome.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Steven Spielberg keeping up with everything and just being awesome still.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Yeah, so I was very happy about that.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
I did the oldest Steven Spielberg. I was. I was
wondering that at the other day, he's he's got to
be in his seventies, right, I would think, so, I
mean the fiftieth anniversary, Yeah, well, the fiftieth anniversary of Jaws.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
I do need to I meant to watch that on Sunday,
but I didn't.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Well, I was going to bring that up. Part of
the summer blockbuster being re released in theaters is Jaws
in the month of July, so like, apparently they're releasing
it in Imax as well. I didn't even know. I'm
guessing they can convert it to IMAX from the.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Well, there's a lot of different types of imaxes. Most
of them are digital now most of them aren't actually
going to be that film, so it's easier too. It's
just it's an it's formatted for IMAX, but it's depending
on the screen that you go to how much money
they're willing to put in for a format.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
So he's he's seventy eight years old, by the way,
which means he was he was twenty eight years old
when he released Jaws. Just a one of the like
arguably the first summer blockbuster. It was like the first
real true summer blockbuster.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
I've been looking for a showing at an AMC but
it says opening August twenty ninth.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Oh did they move it to August?

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Okay, which sucks, Yeah, it.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Does because it's such dude. I rewatched it probably about
a month ago.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Now it's been about a year.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Still totally holds up.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Oh no, I watched it like twice in like two weeks.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
I also want to know who elected that guy Mayor?

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Uh still Mayor In the second one too, he is.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Like who elected him? He's awful?

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Nick? Where are we now? Yeah? Also, what's it called?
Jurassic World Rebirth? Doesn't shy away from like, dude, big
Farmers sucks?

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Oh yeah, well good good, thank you Steven. Uh So, Yeah,
Jurassic World Rebirth comes out on the second Uh. We
fast forward to just a week later, a little over
a week later, and we get Superman coming out on
the eleventh.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Bunch of new trailers, a bunch of.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
New vignettes and trailers. They are hitting the marketing trail
right now internationally, a lot of just meet and greets
and buds right now. The embargo is still on, so

(32:14):
no reviews have been released yet, but the general sentiment
of what's coming out of these early release showings and
viewings and marketing pushes is that it is everything we've
been missing from DC since nineteen seventy eight. Superman the Movie?

Speaker 2 (32:37):
What are your thoughts on Superman two? So?

Speaker 1 (32:42):
I think if they would have let Donner finish, because
they actually were shooting Superman the Movie and Superman two
back to back, much like they ended up doing with
like the Matrix Reloaded and Revolution or whatever it is,
and what they've done with the New twenty eight years
later and Bone Temple. But about midway through the shoot,

(33:05):
after they had finished Superman and they were most of
the way done with Superman two, they fired Donner And
that's why we got a lot of camp in the
second one. And it's not a bad movie. It's just
not a not my favorite follow up to a great film.

(33:25):
But the great thing about this new Superman that's coming
out is James Gunn In every piece of news or
interview that he's come out with, he's very sincere about it.
And I think there's I think that's important when the
guy who wrote it and is directing it and heralding

(33:49):
an entire franchise of movies of a studio is passionate
and sincere about something like good things will happen. So
like I am still like obviously I'm a I'm a
homer if you will on this one, like Superman Superman,
and I'm gonna like Superman. But man, am I just

(34:12):
I'm giddy at this point about it. I've already bought
my IMAX tickets, you know, Clark and I are thirteen
year old or a fourteen year old, and I are
going to go up and see it in Imax the
way that it's probably meant to be seen.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
So mart lewis in Saint Louis, the home of James
Games gunn so where. Yeah, that's awesome. I'm very excited
for it as well. I everything that I've seen from it,
Like I I don't want trailers except for superhero movies
just because I don't care. They're also not going to

(34:48):
show me enough that's gonna throw me off from a movie.
So yeah, because they're usually pretty like calculated at not
showing the important stuff. But I am. I'm excited for it.
Everything I see about David Cordan Sweat I like even more. Obviously,

(35:09):
Rachel Brosnahan's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
We did see some like Kyler Cazando.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
I do love him, Red Beckett en Bien. Apparently beck
Bennett was the most favorite person at thirty Rock. Yeah,
according to the idiot. Yeah, who's gonna play the dummies? Yeah,
I'm I'm Benna Beeck for Bennett fan before he got

(35:34):
on SNL, when he was doing those AT and T
commercials with the kids in the round table yeah, like
and then all of a sudden, like he was on
Tannadel and we're like the guy from AT and T commercials.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
No, the cast is good. Nicholas Holt, I think is
gonna be the the dark hortse MVP of this movie.
Even though I think David corn Sweat's gonna knock it
out of the park and I think Rachel Brosnahan may
be the best possible will pick for Lois Lane, I
think Nicholas Holt is gonna knock it out of the park. Man.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
I have all faith in Nicholas Holt. Man. He I
don't think he's like the worst thing that he's kind
of done and is not bad is run Field.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
So yeah, and he's not bad in it. No, Like
the movie itself just wasn't great. It's the problem.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
It's fun and it achieves its goal of being a
goofy Nick Cage Dracula movie. Yes, with Aquafina, and I
love Aquafina.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
I love Aquafina.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
I'm a big fan of Nora Nora from Queens from Queens.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, but yeah, Superman comes out in July eleventh, and
I could not be more excited. We skip ahead just
a little bit more into the into the the month.
I'm gonna wait because it's two weeks out. But a
week after Super Superman we get I Know What You

(37:01):
Did Last Summer, we get a return.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Of jennih and Freddie Prince Junior.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
I have not actually seen any of the I Know
You Did Last Summer movies.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Like none of them. No, like not even the first one.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
No, there was like some weird slashers in the nineties
that I just never got around to watching. So like,
that's why I'm not really that interested in the in
the remake or the continuance. But it does have Chase
Suey Wonders, and I do love her from from the studio,
so I'm considering it. But then that requires me to

(37:35):
have watched the original.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yeah, the original what I'm more excited about that week.
I think it's July nineteenth. I want to say July eighteenth,
excuse me. I'm more excited for Eddington with m Stone.
Are after Pedro.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
Pascal anything with Emma Stone. I'm interested watching Phoenix there
we go. I couldn't for some reason, I couldn't. Austin
Butler's in it as well. It's supposed to be a
dark comedy and I I'm in like Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone,

(38:15):
Pedro Pascal.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
There's a new PTA movie two this year with Leonardo DiCaprio.
It's gonna be a good like second half of the year.
I feel like the first half of the year was
I think that technically the best movie that came out
in the first half of the year with Sinners. Yeah,
but this back half is going to have some bangers,

(38:39):
so I'm looking forward.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Centers. Yes, I will. I will give you that. It
was probably the best of the year so far. But
in January we did get Companion, which.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
It's still it's still my favorite movie of the year.
I enjoy Companion is still my favorite movie of the year.
Sinners is number two, bring Her Back is number three,
and twenty eight years later his number four. It's already beaten.
The last hour of Mission Impossible, I.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Had forgotten how the first two hours.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Wash first hour and a half garbage, like not garbage,
but it's just it ain't the last hour.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
On July twenty fifth, though, my two play that's happening
that day is I will go to a screening of
Fantastic for the first steps and then end with a
nightcap of Happy Gilmour two.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Oh yeah, that's gonna be a good day. Like unfortunately
for me, my showing of of uh what's called Fantastic
four is I believe on a Thursday, Yeah, Thursday, So
I'll have to wait for Happy Gilmore. Oh my god,
they got what's his name? The guy from like the

(40:08):
Utah Jazz, the Rockets, he does the State farm commercials.
He's playing like the big guy's son. I can't think
of his name. He's like a great basket like very
fun basketball player. I love it, and but I love
the fact that he's in the movie. I don't care
how like ridiculous. This movie is gonna get the like

(40:29):
throw it all at the wall, throw it all, like,
give me every single little Niche reference. I don't care.
It's like this movie is not gonna be like a
great movie, but it's gonna be a fucking Happy Gilmour movie.
Directed by Kyle Nuwachek. Yes, so I was like, good
for Kyle, that's awesome. I think it's the second or

(40:52):
third movie with Adam. I think he did the two
like spy movies or like with Jennifer Anison.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
Stree or whatever. Yeah, yeah, It's gonna be fun regardless
we get. We get a return of Ben Stiller as
well as the Nursing Home Guy, which is gonna be great.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
I can't wait.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
So July toy fifth is gonna be a fun day.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Travis kelceire in it too.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
Yeah, bad Bundy, Travis kell.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
His new Caddy, isn't he?

Speaker 1 (41:25):
I believe?

Speaker 2 (41:26):
So? Yeah, I don't know anything about that.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Julie Bowen's back, which is great.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
I love Julius, thank God, thank God, one of my
earliest crushes. I think anybody who watched Happy Ego more
as a kid, this is my happy place.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
Yeah. But yeah, July Toy Fi's gonna be really good.
I think I'm super excited for Fantastic four four Steps.
I love the cast, and man, Marvel needs a hit
right now. I I thought that the was good, but

(42:03):
you know, it just didn't make its money back, like
like it just it fell short of their projections quote unquote.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
And I could give a fuck about their projections.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
I agree, but their bottom line affects what we get
in the pipeline.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
I agree, but also you need to like the reason
why movies like started to struggle is because they were
overworking they're not there like your stars or anything like that.
They were overworking their production team, the guys and yeah,
everybody who who contributes a huge amount to the movie,

(42:42):
and that's what suffers the movie. Yes, and then they
were just trying to put out as much as they
could could and they had some really good ideas. Some
things just didn't work. Uh, And some people wanted to appease,
like comic book fans a little bit more. Some people
were a bit more loose. I think probably the biggest

(43:05):
example of someone being a little too loose was Takawa Titi.
I think doing Love and Thunder Love and Thunder, Yeah,
because I think it was more of a fuck you
to like.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
I agree, it did not live up to my expectations.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
Oh, I didn't think it looked good in the first place.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
I know you didn't. I remember vividly. I was super
stoked about it. One bit of Marvel news that is
the rumor mill, if you will. Apparently there are talks
of bringing Jonathan Major's back, as as Kang He who

(43:50):
remains Kang the Conqueror since he was exonerated. I think
Marvel probably feels that they can bring him back. I
think with their swings and misses that they've had recently.
It's probably more and more likely that it happens, but
that is that is the rumor right now that Marvel

(44:11):
is in early talks to bring Jonathan Major's back.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
All right, uh.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
Now, I do not know how that will affect things
like Doomsday and see their wars moving forward, but for
which it will.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
I personally didn't really watch some of the footage, but
I believe that there was footage of him being kind
of aggressive. Wasn't there?

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Yes, there was, but he was found not guilty in
a court of law. Right, Hey, listen, I am bringing
the news.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
I I can only I can only just say, like,
I be guess. I could say some stuff but like
it's not positive or or like would be a good
conversation and I like it. I could say stuff that
could be a little like I loved Jonathan Major's I
was a big fan, but I just I'll need more time,

(45:13):
I guess, And I think that's the best thing that
I can say. I didn't go see Magazine Dreams, even
though it was a screen unseen and I found out
that it was his, So I mean, I I loved
the guy in what like the harder they fall. I

(45:34):
loved him in a lot of movies. I just I
don't know, I'm just maybe sometimes something's a little harder
for me to forgive.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
For a while I'm with you, I forgot to ask,
you know. We took that little bit off when I
went to Disney and the week after. But did you
get to kill go see Dogma in theaters the twenty
fifth anniversary.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
I was a little broke at the time.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
Literally never came to Kpe. It never came to my
my Marcus theater.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
I'm sorry, that's sor right.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
I have it on Blu Ray, so same. Yeah, I
could have sold that for quite a quite a bit
of money. Not now, well not now, no hindsight's twenty twenty,
my friend.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
Yeah, I mean I wanted to, but yeah, I just
couldn't like afford to, just like I had the money.
But it's just like their other priority. So yeah, I
mean I wish I did, because I do love Dogma.
I don't know if I like, I could have just
rewatched it here and seeing if, oh do I like?

(46:40):
I'm sure it'd be a great movie to just enjoy
in theater and then be with like kind of like
minded people who also really like Dogma and Kevin Smith.
I just never got around to it. Also, like last
month was pretty big, this past month, it has been
pretty busy seeing a couple at new releases, so I

(47:00):
was a little are you.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
Planning to see? We are just a few short days
from it this Friday, Megan two point oh comes out.
Are you planning on seeing that?

Speaker 2 (47:14):
You know what? I probably will. I saw the first one.
I you know what, it's Tongue in Cheek comedy, and
it's literally like it knows exactly what it is, which
is exactly what tongue in cheek comedy does. And I'll
go see it just for like the ships and get
It's kind of like Clown on the Cornfield. Clown in
the Cornfield knew exactly what it was. Megan especially knows

(47:38):
what it is so.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
Absolutely it does. And that first one may have been
the most self reflective movie of the year, like it
knew exactly what it was trying to be.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Yeah, it was like, we know, we get it, guys,
but it's it's a fun concept. I think Violet McGraw,
I think it's back, so I think it's the second
time I'll see her in theater this year because she
was also in the Life of Chuck. And then whoever,
I think it's the same girl who voiced Megan in

(48:12):
the first movie, but I.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
Think, yeah, Jenna Davis.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
Was it the same same girl who technically did the costume? Okay, yeah,
little girl. I love that little girl. She did Phoenix
fan Fusion here this past year, or it was the
Horror Coon I can't remember, and I saw some footage
and yeah, she's just nice little kid. So oh and

(48:37):
then also like kind of the same as the little
girl from Abigail. Those two girls, Abigail and Meghan need
to get together and make it like the most self
reflective movie. Come on, Oh god, Abigail versus Megan?

Speaker 1 (48:59):
You know what, I'm watch it?

Speaker 2 (49:00):
Yeah versus Megan. Would I bet they're not on the
same like platform, like network or ownership, So that sucks,
but yeah, that'd be it fantastic. Uh yeah, so I'll
probably see that. But I also I think I'm gonna
go see f one as well, because I like, I'm

(49:24):
a Brad Pitt guy.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
I'm a Brad Pitt guy as well. And you know what,
fast cars, let's do it. Let's like I.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Ended up liking Grand Tarismo. So yeah, so I let's
let's watch this about cars that go real fast, and
and I'm gonna be tense because cars that go real
fast also die very quickly, so it's going to be tense.
And it's Brad Pitt who who did say if he

(49:52):
does get a chance, he wants to work with Tom
Cruise again, but only if like they're not like flying
or or doing some stuff. Whenever he returns to land,
he wants to work with Tom again. So I would
I would love to see Tom and Tom Cruise and
Brad Pitt together again.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
Sure, but yeah, yeah, that's your end of June through July.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
Movies. One thing that I watched this week completely off
topic of movies, but two giant movie stars Uma Thurman
and Charlie Stron did Hot Ones together. They did the
what's it called the hot Ones Versus where it's the

(50:44):
two celebrities that sit down and you know, talk to
each other and eat wings and it was brilliant.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
I loved it domin and lived in it a couple
of weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
Two just massive movie stars.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
Sonny guys did it a couple of ago.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
It's fun. Speaking of Uma, Thurman. I did a rewatch
of Kill Bill.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
I really need to dude, I fell in love with
Uma Thurman in high school. She was who was I
in love with in high school? Because of Kill Bill.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Dude, it's they're so good. It's The Bride.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Volume one I think is vastly better than Volume two,
but Volume two great, great movie. It's just this thing
is a banger. Also, finish Nobody's look cooler. I bought
I bought Yellow owned Suka Tigers because of this movie.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
Uh, from start to finish, that movie is just immaculate.
It's that the the knife fight scene between the Fox
and Uma Thurman, yeah, is so intense.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
And then when she shoots through the cereal boxes like
it's perfect.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
Uh yeah, it's a and then and then ended with
the with with just the brutality of the Uma Thurman
versus Lucy Lou fight, it was more.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
I felt like it was more elegant. I felt like
the brutality was was against the crazy eighty eight. I
think crazy like that. I love the excuse that why
they did it in black and white is because or
black and blue. It's because it was it would have
met m p A a standing standards yes, but who

(52:38):
I mean it made it almost makes it cooler. Yeah,
but yeah, you get that great like standoff between Orin
e E and the bride, and just how whenever Lucy
Lou's head just like part of her head slides off.

(52:59):
It's just like perfect. And then such a great score
with that like that pan flute. It's I had the
soundtrack of this movie. It's so good. But yeah, the
entire fight scene between the Bride and the Crazy eighty
eight and then Go Go, God Go Go is like

(53:21):
one of the most effortlessly cool looking characters in movies ever.
She was is a go go I think it's go
go the girl with the ball and chain thing. Yeah, yeah,
it's it's an all time scene. But that entire set
piece is perfect. Ohso nicky, wig your big toe, wiggle

(53:46):
your big toe.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
Fucking cool, so fucking cool Will's paralysis away from her?
Any other any other movie news that you got?

Speaker 2 (54:01):
No supermand yeah, no, I think I covered all the
Let's talk about some wrestling.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
Sure w W E is heading towards maybe Knight of Champions,
which is King and Queen of the Ring. We have
I believe six matches set. You've got Jade versus Oscar
for Queen of the Ring. You've got Randy Orton versus
Cody Rhodes for King of the Ring. You have Sammy

(54:38):
Zain versus Carry and Cross because that feuds finally going thankfully.
But we we get Carry and Cross back on television again,
which is which is nice. We get obviously CM Punk
versus John Cena for the undisputed w u W E

(55:00):
title and I think I'm missing.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
A mans Raquel.

Speaker 1 (55:08):
In a street fight. That is correct.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
Also to have Jade Cargill, the woman known for her body,
to go over to Saudi Arabia and have to cover
her entire body. Yeah, and she's gonna win. I love
Oscar because nobody's nobody, nobody's ready for Oscar, nobody will
ever be right.

Speaker 1 (55:31):
Yeah, Oscar is awesome. Uh. The the the concern is
with the uppeople in the Middle East right now, the
fact that the straight out of corn Moves has been
closed even though there's a quote unquote ceasefire going on,
and the fact that, uh, it is being reported that
multiple pre show employees have been stuck in Cutter because

(55:57):
flights in and out of certain countries have been closed
down there is not a zero percent chance that Night
of Champions gets canceled. So I think this is going
to come down to the wire. SmackDown is supposed to
be over in the Middle East as well, so you know,

(56:19):
I think we'll probably know by Thursday whether or not
it's it's gonna happen there. They may have to pivot
and have it in a different location. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
They said it's not going to be at the Performance Center.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
Yeah, so yeah, we'll see. Is the thing we Night
of Champions may look different than what was anticipated thanks
to global politics and war.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
So the worst person on the planet.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
Yeah, so raw is not war. Night of Champions as war.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
Apparently in the midst of it. I can't laugh. I
shouldn't laugh.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
Yeah. So that's kind of the big thing that's happening
in ww right now. Looking forward in July, we do
have a Saturday night main event. We get the fifty
eight year old Goldberg fighting the ring General for the

(57:25):
WWE Championship. Man, I hate Bill Goldberg.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
Making gun through wear training wheels to fight a fifty
eight year old man. Yeah, I'm not that excited about it.
I don't think most of most people are. Unfortunately, I
think the let's just call them the old heads that
are still sticking around, which I mean, thank god you're
still watching wrestling. Well, I mean it's become less progressive

(57:54):
in the last year, but thanks for sticking around. We're happy.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
But like, yeah, as Gunther said in the middle of
the ring on Monday, it's not nineteen ninety nine anymore. Yeah,
he was twenty five, ed Gunther, It's going to be
facing a fifty eight year old Bill Goldberg who once
almost took out the Undertaker.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
Because doesn't feel bad about it anymore. Yeah, Yeah, maybe
feel bad about it for about five years and then
decided I don't want to feel bad about that anymore.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
He's shit in the ring, That's what I'm trying to say.
He was shit in his prime. He's going to be
real bad at fifty eight years old.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
Yeah. Also, I found it funny that, like not funny,
I found it interesting that Dom also pulled out of
the Intercontinental title match because I don't think he or
aj Styles wanted to go over to Saudi Arabia. Noso
Apparently doing the Saudi Arabia shows aren't really a added
benefit anymore. It's part of your contract now. So it's

(59:01):
not even like, oh, we're going over there for bigger paycheck. Nope,
not anymore.

Speaker 1 (59:06):
Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
So it's not even incentive to go over there, So
why would you want to go over there?

Speaker 1 (59:11):
Yeah, and I don't don't.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
There are good fans over there, there's good people who
want to see that, but unfortunately it's just a complicated
situation that's been ongoing for ever.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
It's blood money. It's blood money, period And I don't
blame dom or aj Styles if that is in fact
why they pulled out of Night of Champions. So, you know,
WWE is still in a weird place right now. We've
said it the last probably four times we've been on
the pod together, like we're in this weird in between time.

(59:47):
I think once we get past Night of Champions, you
have a crowned king and Queen of the ring. You know,
you obviously have a mister and missus money in the bank.
Like we're we're we're heading on to Summer Slam, the
first two night Summer Slam ever.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
From from New Jersey Jets j E Jets.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
I like how they leave the giants out of that
every time they.

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
Talk about it, Like I don't like either team, but
I also don't like the Jets.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
I think I like the Jets worse than the Jets.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
I can't say that because I'm a Cowboy, I know, but.

Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
You're a you're an NFC East guy anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
Like I'm familiar.

Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
Cowboys are in that division, is what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean it still sucks whenever,
like the Giants or the Eagles win a championship and
the Cowboys haven't won one and so long.

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
No, I'm saying that's why you don't like the Giants
because they're in Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
Yeah, Okay, I was confusing.

Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
Okay, no one gives a ship about the Jets because
they're the Jets. It doesn't matter what division they'd be in.

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
One of our best friends loves the Jet.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
I said what I said. No, I think once we
get past King and Queen of the Ring iidah champions,
I think we'll start hitting the ground running again. At
least I hope we do. I think the storytelling has
been suspect at best for the last couple of months.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
I think they're trying. It's just like I think everybody's tired.
I think like the fans are tired. I think we're
just trying to kind of catch up because they're trying
to push like stuff like Ruce Evitt versus Shamus. They're
trying to push stuff. Unfortunately, also right now, weird injuries,
weird people not being here right now with time off.

(01:01:41):
But then also we're kind of having to reacclimate to
people like Alexa Bliss who has been gone for years,
and we have to try and reintegrate her into the
storylines because I mean Charlotte Flair, Yeah, Charlotte with Alex
Alexa is going to be a perfect kind of like
back and forth of Tiffany eventually gonna have a great
set of matches because tiff can work, Alexa can work.

(01:02:06):
Alex can easily be like the like the hurt heel.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
But yeah, we're just trying to I just I think
they're under utilizing people that they like where's EO right now?
Like I haven't seen EO in a few weeks, Like
she's the w W Women's Champion.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
Yeah, Well, the thing is it happened literally last week
because they started the they were setting up live versus EO,
and then like the next segment they've got her, Yeah,
needed surgery. She's gonna be possibly out for six months,
so they literally they lost EO's entire storyline by and

(01:02:49):
literally they set it up and they lost it immediately,
so they have to figure it out.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
All I would say is Rock San Perez is right there.

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
Well they did set up with Oscar talking with EO
last night. Uh, and how Oscar wants to challenge for it,
So no matter what, even if Jade Cargo wins, Oscar
is going to challenge for that title now because they
need a story.

Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
Yeah, but then you've got on the men's side of things, Like,
don't get me wrong, I enjoy Cody Rhodes. You know,
he's a he's kind of a super baby face.

Speaker 2 (01:03:22):
Now for a while, but he's been more present the
last couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
I'm kind of I'm kind of over him and his
story right now, Like why do I need to see
him in another main event, Like let's give him some
time away like we did with Roman, Like I think
he just I'm just saying, let's let's let some other
guys get into the like like taking away Jusial's belt

(01:03:49):
so quickly, and then all of a sudden, jay Uso
was back in the King of the Ring sweet Steaks
like that. I don't know. I just questioned some of
their storytelling right now.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
Now, Yeah, I mean taking the title off of him
in the first place was a mistake, and then him
immediately being in the King of the Ring. Yeah, that's
a mistake. But I think that was all just to
serve Goldberg's ego, and I think gun God, I hope
Gunther doesn't drop it to Goldberg because Jay. They could

(01:04:25):
easily scapegoat Jay and make him lose because it's politics.
But I don't I'm glad at least if if it's
gonna like it'll suck that if it does come off
of anybody, it'll come off gun Through, but I'd rather
it come off of Guntherro then it come off of
j Yeah. So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:04:49):
Again, just kind of.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
I guess that was never even kind of a story,
so that nothing I just said was even relevant.

Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
No, It's okay, I'd rather he should come back and fight.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
I'm tired, apparently, Yes, No.

Speaker 1 (01:05:06):
It's just it is what it is. It's still fun.
It's still wrestling.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
Dude. That spear from bron Breaker on Penta last night, Jesus, Like,
that's I need that meme.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
I need that meme from Happy Gilmore where it's like
Chubbs and the Alligator and we just need to add
Carlito and and Penta to that that picture. Because bron
Breaker has now killed two men with spears.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
I'm not kidding. In the future of bron Breaker, that's
going to be like a match that's like one of
like the things that is like on his You should
watch this bron Breaker match was against Penta. That was
That's an all time bron Breaker match. Hopefully he has
more great ones. That was an all time like TV
bron Breaker match. That was incredible. Seth. Seth is a

(01:05:59):
little boring right now because it's just kind of repeating
the same thing every week.

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
You're a little boring right now.

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
Yeah, But and I called it literally it's gonna end
up being a triple threat between going to be Becky,
Bailey and Lyra and they could have just let it
be a good singles competition without interference.

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
I mean, I'm a big Lyra fan. That that was stupid,
Like it was Bailey and Becky I.

Speaker 2 (01:06:30):
Think they were. That was a great match. It was
a hell There were two great, like really great matches
last night. Ye between Braun and Pinta, and I mean,
like the other matches were good, but Braun and Pinta
and Becky and Bailey were great matches until the end
of bron Becky and Bailey.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
Yeah, Bailey came out wearing the Macho Man trim on her.

Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
Chack barely that was her WrestleMania gear. Oh nice, Yeah,
that's what she was gonna wear for WrestleMania before she
got hurt by Becky. So sure y yeah, uh yeah,
I mean I can't really think of anything else obviously
see him punk versus John Cena.

Speaker 1 (01:07:12):
Uh, John Cena is gonna wine but probably.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
Yeah, but the thing is, I mean it's even gonna.

Speaker 1 (01:07:20):
Happen, Yeah, who knows. Yeah again a weird time, weird place.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
Game Changer was great this past week. You only have
one one. It was a great episode.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
I loved the menu. Uh gave him a menu at
the at the first part and they got to choose
what they what they did, I different things.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
It was.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
I loved all of it. I just the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
And Alex Horn made an appearance from Game Changer, so
that was that was amazing. I like, especially as much
Game Changer as I've been watching. I just finished the
No Fielding season.

Speaker 1 (01:08:06):
You mean the task Master?

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
Yeah, task Master? Sorry, and yeah great. I loved Alex
Horne showing up.

Speaker 1 (01:08:14):
It was great.

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
Yeah. I feel like a lot of people are kind
of like finding. I think it's because of Jason Manzucas.
I think has kind of broadened the audience. I imagine their
YouTube views went crazy, at least in America. I imagine
they spiked after Jason joined. So great. Yeah, great show.

(01:08:37):
I've been watching task Master, Very important people with Lisa
gilroy As. I can't remember the name of the monster
like from Hell. Yeah, don't spake me.

Speaker 1 (01:08:51):
Vic is just a brilliant human being.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
Vic is so smart. Vic Michaelis and Lisa gilroy Or
are too, just powerhouses like they I think they're the
two best people technically. I think they've become the two
best people on Dropout drop Out. I really think they have.

Speaker 1 (01:09:13):
A big Emily Axford and Murph fan. You probably don't
know them that well because they're mostly on the Dimension
twenty side of things, gotcha, but they they're they're famous
in their own right outside of Dropout as well.

Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
So see, I'm like, of course we've mentioned it one
hundred times. I'm a huge Josh Ruben guy. I do
love Zacha Yama. I do love Pat Problem. I do
have Brendan uh exactly, no problem. You get that shirt,
that sweater on dropout dot com. So yeah, I mean
but Vic is a monster, and then somehow Lisa Gilroy

(01:09:54):
is an even bigger monster. Yes, yes, like and like
they both bring something to the table, but Lisa just
goes insane.

Speaker 1 (01:10:09):
Lisa has no she's got no quid in her like
she was limit. I don't think it's going there's no
limit for Lisa.

Speaker 2 (01:10:19):
Like, like I said, VIC is just a different type
of instrument, but god damn she she plays every single
instrument and does it well. Yeah, I'm a big fan
of like if not kidding, if you're not paying for Dropout,
if you like comedy, that's it's the best best uh

(01:10:43):
An edition I've ever I've ever paid. So yeah, Nick,
I have nothing left.

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
