Speaker 1 (00:18):
Welcome back to what the podcast is the people who
understand that Tommy want Winging Its where your host as always.
I'm Nick.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Kitchen's closed, Okay, the friars are off. How are you? Nick?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I'm doing well.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
How are you? I'm good. My name is Androsie's short
for Andres. I I'm doing good.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I'm sorry, I'm still giggling over the kitchen's closed.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Kitchens closed. Yeah, I'm I'm doing good. I didn't watch
as many movies this week. I did go to the
theater twice, I believe, not in consecutive days, but close to.
Since it's not consecutive, it's just like one more and
I said, close. Okay, that's covered. But yeah, I'm doing good.
(01:16):
I have strong feelings about said movie and we'll go
over it. But Nick, how are you? How are you?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
I am doing great. I off of a long stretch
of nine days straight at the hospital, and I'm feeling
great about not being there tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I can imagine, Nick, I have to bring it up.
We have to talk about weapons. Weapons. Unfortunately, you have
not seen it yet, which I understand you you will.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I guess who has the time to watch it in
the next couple.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Of days me as well.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Cool, I'm going to see it tomorrow. I already have
to tickets.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Nice. I yes, okay, I saw it and it was
like I was wasn't completely sure on No. I did
see it on two consecutive days. It was it's I'm
not going to go into any kind of spoilers because obviously,
(02:17):
and also this movie just does so much better just
with you knowing as little as possible, because it's a mystery.
That's the whole point. Like seventeen kids went missing, and
that's all you need to know. And it's the best
way to describe this. It's Zach Kraiger as a director,
(02:37):
editor and everything. Doesn't do something that's never been done before.
He just did it really well. He tells you the
story from multiple perspectives. He changes the entire narrative, narrative
structure of the movie. He resets it like he does
in Barbarian. He resets your expectation. He shows you just
(03:02):
enough then kind of resets. And some people might not
like that, and I think that's probably some of the
negative reviews that this movie has gotten, is it feels
a very start stop start. But that's also that's.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I feel like that's what it's supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Though it's a mystery, like that's the whole point, like
and it's you're only supposed to know so much. But
the thing is, this movie is just like like I said,
it's not not anything that hasn't been done before. It's
just done really well. And whenever you have actors as
good as Julia Garner and Josh Brolin, I mean, and
everybody else does, everybody else does does a great job
(03:47):
as well, almost like pretty much every single person who
has a line in this movie kills it. But whenever
Julia Garner is just that perfect kind of uh target
and uh and Josh Brolin, genuinely I believe, gives one
(04:08):
of his best performances he's ever given and uh it
because it's like he fits the role, he fits the look,
but he literally just acts his ass off in this movie.
And it's like it's it's such a like it's refreshing
to watch a movie like this because like, honestly, I
haven't had this feeling since Barbarian And that's saying something
(04:33):
like where you kind of feel like refresh, Like it's
a movie that kind of resets like your your entire barometer,
like the Substance kind of did that as well. I
feel like Together did a pretty good job of that.
But weapons, really it's like a new hard reset, Like
we're like I I'm not gonna call him like a
(04:57):
horror like like everybody's claiming like we have like the
new horror like kings, like the directors and stuff like
the I can't remember the term that they're using, but
like Jordan Peele and Ari Astor and all that, Like
we have these new great directors in the horror genre.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Uh, but they all make from like Carpenter basically.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah. All they're doing is it's when it comes down
to it, like it's for the most part, they're all
writer directors and most of them have like final cut, yeah,
and that's.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Kind of their vision is coming to screen.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah, So you're getting less notes and you're getting like
pure vision. And that's what you get if you if
the studio doesn't interfere.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
With it, if you let them cook.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, if you let these these writers who also have
the ability to direct, and a lot of them, yes,
come from comedy because they grew up literally making like
tiny short films on little crappy vc r uh uh
like tape place uh. Uh, recorders, they're there. They just
(06:10):
they've been doing it forever. I imagine Jordan Peele like we
obviously we knew of Key and Peel from Key and Peele. Uh,
Jordan Peele from Key and Peel, but we also knew
him from Mad TV and uh and and uh. I'm
also if I'm not mistaken, I believe he also had
stuff on Channel one as well. Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I think there's more in common between comedy and horror
than there is anything else.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Like Yeah, but they're also including so much drama, like
and horror usually comes hand in hand with drama. Uh.
But they're just doing like we have a good crop
of of writer directors, and I feel like if you
if we allow more like original movies like this and
(06:59):
like No and You Us and get Out and Barbarian
they're just completely original stories from the the brain of
the person who wants to make the movie. So it's
just it's it's a nice refresh. It's not even my
favorite movie of the year. I think it's going to
move up on my ranking. It's really hard because I'm
(07:22):
not sure if I like it more than twenty eight
years later and I saw twenty.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Five has been a a great year for movies and
horror or horror so far.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
And we can all have dinners together. Twenty eight years later,
Weapons bring Her Back, a predator, killer of killers, like
Hard Eyes was at the beginning of the year, Dangerous Animals,
all like, it's been a great year for horror. I
was actually thinking about that the other day. I think
just Last Night Until Dawn is fun. People like it's
(07:59):
shit on it, but it is a fun It was fun.
People didn't like wolf Man. I liked wolf Man. It's
not my favorite.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I don't think wolf Man was underrated. It's not a
great movie. It's not like no pure cinema, but it's
still a good movie.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, it's it treats. I mean, it's Leewanell, and he
wanted the treat like more like the Fly than anything
he was. I think he was making the Fly and
calling it wolf Man.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
You could tell, I mean you literally could tell that
he took his cues from that. My favorite things that
I've seen so far about weapons. Kreeger was interviewed by
Sean finnasy Over at The Ringer Podcast Network, and two
of his biggest influences for the way he writes and directs,
(08:54):
and his cinematography were were John Carpenter and Pull Fiction,
And I think you can really see that in both
Barbarian and I'm guessing in Weapons as well. Yeah, like
the way the camera moves, the way the editing cuts
are made. Definitely in Barbarian because obviously I haven't seen Weapons,
(09:15):
but that's that's Carpenter and Pulp fiction. If they had
a baby, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, And I actually I wrote that, I think in
my the second time I watched the movie, I was
like watching it a second time. You can tell, like
the the tendencies that Gregor does as a director, as
he as he has the camera move it's and it's
it's all based on just instinct. It's all like making
(09:42):
the shot as best as possible.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Like with learned behavior, it's learned.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
It's movement with intention instead of just movement just for movement.
All of his stuff has a language.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
So my my other favorite thing, My other favorite thing
was there's a this is just a theory. I hope
to God that Kreeger comes out and confirms it. But
apparently there's a scene where Benedict Wong has a tray
of food and on it are seven hot dogs and
(10:16):
they call back to the whitest kids.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
You. I watched the sketch last night.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
How many hot dogs would you say you eat in
a day?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Like, take as many as you eat in a week
and divide it by seven.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Probably seven.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Okay, so you wake up, if you go to and
you go to and go downstairs and get ready. Yeah,
I mean, well, I brush my teeth and like I
might have something in the bathroom. Is that something a
hot dog?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
So good it has no reason to be as good
as it is.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, you know what I think. I just moved I
adjusted my my rankings. I have moved Weapons to number six,
ahead of Fantastic four and f one.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
No, I'm super stoked to see this movie. The hype
is real with Kreeger. I mean, he just his style
of movie is just something that I adore. Oh God,
excited about it.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
My favorite thing that I heard him say about the
writing process of this movie was he had no idea
what the movie was as he was writing it. For
fifty pages. He just he wrote one thing.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
A teacher.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, a teacher walks into her classroom and none of
her kids are there. Why? And then that was it?
And then he was like, well, there's an angry dad.
What's he thinking. I was like, I've never like, that's
such a just a smart thing, just why is something happening?
And then you just blindly, blindly write for don't have
(12:06):
any intention for it, let it figure itself out. I
was like, yeah, that makes so much sense. And until
I heard it said out loud like like that, just
because like he was, it was, it was like he
figured that out at that moment too. That's what he
what he did for the movie. And He's like, I
(12:28):
have so many move I have so many scripts that
have written that are so good, but I just can't
figure it out, so they're just gonna sit there forever.
I'm like, all right, yeah, I appreciate that because he
feels like kind of like a James gun as well,
where he doesn't James doesn't start a movie until the
script is finished, whereas like Marvel, Yeah we know about
(12:52):
that especially now. So but yeah, I can't wait for
you to see weapons. It's as good as advertised. I
originally gave it a four out of five star. I
had moved it four and a half.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I'm extremely excited to see.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Literally whatever you're thinking about the movie. Whatever you're thinking
is the cause of anything, just don't think about it
and just like go blank slate. The movie starts off
with literally the seventeen kids are gone. That's how it
starts off, so that the entire synopsis that it says saying,
(13:29):
last night, at two seventeen, every child's from her classroom
woke up and left. And that's how the movie exactly starts.
And that's all you need to know, because you don't
need to know why anything's happening. You find out as
as the mystery becomes unraveled, and then whenever you get.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Home tomorrow, whenever.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
You get home, I'll tell you the disturbing I'll tell
you a truly disturbing fact about the movie too.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
All right, I'm excited about that as well. No weapons
will be good. That'll be a fun time tomorrow. On
my long week of work, I did happen to watch
quite a few movies, but they are all movies that
I had seen before, or there's one that I was
no they were at all. I'd seen all of them before.
(14:27):
So I had a lot of free time sitting at
work waiting for work to happen. So I just would
pop on movies at my desk, and in no particular order,
I watched Novacane, Mission Impossible, Dead Reckoning, Terminator, Dark Fate, Interstellar,
Tommy Boy, The Truman Show, Gladiator, and Zach and Mury
(14:50):
make a poor No.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I mean the Zach and Mary at work is is.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
I had my air putts. We're fine.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Sorry, hooget hook hooget chuck it. It's one of Tyler
Leban's best performances. No offense, Tyler le Bean, Uh, because
you're doing You've done a lot of great things. But
that small little cameo and Zach and Mary make a.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Porno drunk guy getting a coffee.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
It's cute, doggie. Uh, I forgot about that. Nick. Oh,
I have to say, I no, like not to are
you out? Because you you had to you miss Uh
we missed our time that we were gonna hear originally record.
(15:45):
So I went to Walmart and I had my music
on and I just I always put it on shuffle,
so I have no idea what's ever going to come on?
And uh a song from the Producers came on and
I said, badly know still every every single word that like,
I'm I'm ahead of the of the soundtrack.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
I did that a few weeks back. I was watching
it and just singing along to every It's.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
The easiest, easiest musical in the world to remember.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Thoughts on on the movies that I watched. Though Terminator
Dark Fait gets a bad rap, it is not as
bad as as critics said. It's not a great movie. No.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I like Dark Tray. I liked Dark Tray. McKenzie Davis
as the as a Terminator was awesome. Diego what it's
not Diego, he was the he was the ghostwriter. What
is his name? Uh? The other terminator in the movie.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Gabriel Luna.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Gabriel Luna. I thought he was fantastic. That especially, A
lot of it was in the trailer. But that scene
in the in the factory is really good. It's a
it's a really fun piece of action. Uh. You mentioned Gladiator.
Gladiator is great, but uh, it's so drastically different tones
(17:13):
in that movie. Uh, it goes very dramatic and sad
and then very violent. Uh. I'm trying to remember everything
else that you said.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
You Novacan is still a good times.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Just it's it's just a it's just a fun It's
like it's almost like fruit stripe, a strep fruit stripe gum.
It's it's really nice and sweet and like that's all
you need it for. It's just like you don't need
to pay attention, but every single time you look at it,
it's gonna be just like a little nice sweet treat
for just for a second.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
It's a nice pick me up.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah. And then Jack Quaid very charming. He's always charming,
very affable. Uh, Amber mid Thunder gotta love her, even
even in the role. Uh what else did you say
that Reckoning is?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Is just?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Is it Dead Reckoning or Final Reckoning?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I watched Dead Reckoning. Final Reckoning just came out in
theaters a little while ago. It's not on streaming yet.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Okay, Yeah, Dead Reckoning is fun. I love Palm clementief
in that one. I can't remember like a notable stunt
in that movie. Besides the train and then the the
motorcycle to get onto the train, I remember a lot
of the set piece.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
That's the big stunt of the movie.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Mean, I mean the scene in the club with with
whenever we first learned about the entity. It sucks that
we lost for Rebecca Ferguson just because she was like
I want to go work, man, I don't want to.
I don't want to be sitting on this movie for
a year where I can.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Go to Mecca fergus said better than Hailey att Well.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
In my opinion, I take them all like I don't.
I don't rank them above anybody else.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Fus just has gramatas.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
In my opinion, I love Rebecca Ferguson, but I do
love Haley at Well. I think I think I like
Hell yet or well a little bit more than I
liked for Rebecca Ferguson, But that might just be me.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Uh, Interstellar is still a mind fuck.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
To completely different halves.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, man, that movie just is brilliant.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
It really is.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
It's it's absolutely a brilliant movie. Nolan just knocked it
out of the park, and to his credit McConaughey, the
emotion that he plays with throughout the entire movie, like
from start to finish, is just spot of perfect.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Like you can tell he cares, like you can tell
the character that he he plays cares, and he unfortunately
having to a kind of sacrifice himself and his family's
happiness with with him there. But if he feels like
(20:06):
apparently like the the government feels like he's the person
for the job. And if you're the person for the job,
it does suck that you have to leave your family.
But luckily for the family, they're very brilliant people. And
and why can't I think of the what is Jessica
ches Stain's character's name, because it's a very specific name, uh,
(20:31):
because he yells it a lot, and it's like a
it's Murph, Murph. It's Yeah. I was lucky enough to
see this in Imax earlier this year. It's a fantastic movie.
Jessica ches Stain is great and too uh so Ane
Hathaway whenever you get Matt Damon is so.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Horrible, such a terrible human being.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yeah, even the girl who plays young Murph is great
because you've cared so much. Yeah, everybody, like everybody else
in the movie, like John with cow Yeah, I put
what you get with, especially that scene on the planet
(21:15):
where the wave hit the the other person and they
wasted so much time there, and the fact that possibly
maybe the person who had arrived there only arrived there
just like a couple seconds before they did, and it
was that much of a waste of time. That's like
(21:37):
the biggest like gut punch in the movie.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
For me, it's it's a fun movie, like it's it's
a thinking movie. But The Truman Show speaking of a
fun thinking movie.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I watched that so much growing up.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Oh it's so good. And you know, if I don't
see you.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Again, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Oh it's Jim Carrey has multitudes.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
It's genuinely one of my favorite movies of my of
like the nineties. I think it really showed Jim Carrey's ability.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah, and then today, before I got home, I did
watch Tommy Boy. That was the last movie that I watched.
I've watched it before I got off work, and man,
it still holds up. It's all gonna say. It still
holds up weekends, no weekdays. Dan akroyd is Rais Alinsky,
(22:38):
The Auto Part King Not on the Box, Big Tom Callahan.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Uh, it's I haven't watched it in a while, but
I I mean David Spade and in which is Chris
Farley just well, mainly David just throwing hands at Chris
so much and not not getting what.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Farley is throwing heat the entire movie, Like there's not
one pitch under one hundred miles per hour from Chris
Farley in that movie like We Committed?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Would you do? Because Nick, I don't know if you
know this about me. When I was living back home
in Cape, I was at work at my old pest
control job, and I thought I was in reverse, but
(23:40):
I was in No. I thought I was in for drive,
but I was in reverse and my door was open, yes,
and my door bent the wrong way. And instinctually I said,
would you do what you do to myself? Because like
there was nothing else I could do you.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
About the damage.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yes, So that look prehistoric forest.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
It's just it is one.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yeah, I'm gonna hit you in the face of the.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Most quotable movies in the history of.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I bet he plays for the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I mean that kind of little coke comes from it.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
You know where the gym is.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Check it out? Was checking the in line on the
rotary girder, I'm retorted.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I love that movie so much. It's so so good.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Uh for anyone out there it's just looking to get
out of a funk that they're in. Just watch Tommy
Boy and it will immediately get you out of set funk.
I guarantee it.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
It's it's such a fun time and dennyh Yeah, character
actor Brian Dennehey, Yes, Uh what else? Well, Hey, Nick,
I watched Dogma the other night, And let me tell
you a funny thing about me watching Dogma. Okay, I
(25:17):
put it on. I have the Blue Ray and I
I was outside in my living room and I it was,
you know, everything holds up, even the ship monster. I'll
even liked because what's her name? Uh? I kind of
think of her name? Uh, the muse, why can't I think?
(25:40):
Selma Hyak gives it the explanation of why this it's
the ship monster. It's because it wasn't just Jesus who
was on the cross. It was multiple people, and it
was just all the feces of the people, and it's
all the feces of the wicked. And that's why it's
a ship monster. I had never really paid that much attention,
(26:03):
but he makes a reasonable reason for having a ship monster.
So everything holds up. My funny thing about the movie
was I I could not stay awake. I tried watching
the last fifteen minutes three times in a row, kept
falling asleep. Forty five minutes I spent trying to watch
(26:24):
the last fifteen minutes kept falling asleep. I would sit up.
I'd fall asleep sitting up. So I still have the
last fifteen minutes to watch. Still great, though, still great.
Everybody honestly kills it. Even Jason Muse. He's better than
I remember. Kevin Smith as an actor and a director
(26:48):
and a writer, very smart even for Dogma Dogma. It
holds up. I will give it all the sattire completely
still works. Uh and yeah, it's still great movie. It
does not did not get worse with age. I feel
(27:11):
like Kevin Smith's movies, most of them have not aged poorly. No,
I agree with that, even though they're very much products
of their time.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yeah, like mal Rats is a product of the that,
Like we don't even really have mals anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Yeah, but they all pretty much hold up and they're
not really that problematic. It was the stuff that they
they even talk about because it's like even Jay in
the movie, super progressive and like from the get Yeah,
so yeah, incredible.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, Jane, Silent Bob are all about a woman's threat
to choose.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
That's why they hang out at abortion.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Because they can't get those women pregnant. Ye.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Well, no, they figured loose women are there. Uh. The
only like ridiculous part of the movie is whenever they
they tell her that she is the great great great
great great great great niece of Christ. Yeah, and she
(28:22):
kind of flips out in the water. That's only just
to get Alan Rickman walking on water. You don't have
to like it's a bad scene, but it's all just
about getting Alan Rickman to walk on water.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Absolutely, it must I must say. Alan Rickman is one
of my favorite parts of that movie.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
He's so funny. He's so like, like his delivery is
just so perfect.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
When there when they're having a drink.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
And Mexican restaurant and.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
That's spitting it out immediately because he can't buy alcohol.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
So good he he understood this, like he I think
he trusted Kata because I remember, I think recently Kevin
had said something about Alan taking a note, and I
think Kevin was just trying to like be like really
super nice and kind and like ease with Alan, and
(29:17):
Allen's like, no, just tell me what you want me
to do, And like I think he was like, don't
give me a note, tell me what you like. Yeah,
tell me what it is and I'll do it. Yeah.
Fantastic movie. But I'm happy you got to watch I
mean those movies while at work. I'm sure some interruptions, but.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Not as many as you think.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
But yeah, but that's a good, good crop of movies.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
It was. It was fun watch a little bit of
TV as well. I won't board with the details. It
starts for Extrange New Worlds as a new season out.
It's been really good so far. And then I started
watching Sabrino nine to one one.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I was just thinking about that yesterday.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
So it's it's still as funny as it was ten
years ago.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Wendy McClinton Covey post like my sister showed me a
post of like she's been married I think for like
thirty one years now. She's been like with her husband
for a while and like, uh right, as like I
was about to take my dogs out and I was like,
I should start Reno nine one one. That was just yesterday,
So that's funny. She's also just very funny in the show.
(30:30):
Oh she's everybody kills it on that show, and.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Everybody kills in that show. There are certain moments where
I have a favorite, yes, like Dangle Tom Lennon. Lennon
is always funny like I still talk about the new
boot Goofen, like I think about it, like I said,
fifteen years later, probably probably weekly. Yeah, he put them
(30:56):
on payments, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
I just goo.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Which he still has by the way, they are in
his closet.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
He he has no shame, like he will talk to
you about it if you want to talk to about it.
I love him.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Junior is like Junior has some of the funniest stuff
in the entire show. Yeah, some of the Cold opens.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
With him driving at like the one where he's asleep
at the wheel, Him and Garcia are in the car
together and he's asleep at the wheeling he was just
dreaming that he was in a NASCAR race and all
of a sudden, boom they hit something.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
That's the Cold open. It's so good.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
I don't remember that one out there. I don't think
I ever watched like a full season of it. I
would just catch it.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Yeah, Kerrie Kenney Silver Though as as Wigel is probably
Pete out insane, she actually.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Is what she is willing to do and like make
herself look so bad, like bad, like she never comes
out the winner, like I mean, I mean sometimes, but
most of the time she makes herself the butt of
the joke she makes like it's kind of like Paul
Sheer in the League. Paul like constantly made himself the joke.
(32:22):
Not we didn't realize realize it at first, but then
you look back and you're like, man, Paul was taking
some risks. Everybody else was, but Paul was just like
taking those lumps. And that's what Carry Kenny does. Carry
Kenny like like invites those lumps.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
And then you get the the cameos from like Nick
swartzten as as Terry Yeah on his roller skates. You know,
it's just a fun show for sure. But yeah, it's
like you could watch the whole damn shows on on
Paramount Plus, so you can watch the damn thing.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, and Nick, I know you and I didn't get
to get a chance to watch wrestling this week.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
We did not my choice. I'm still a little salty
salty from the the Summer Slam reveal.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Totally get it.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
So I have no idea what's going on in WW
right now other than Naomi is maybe hurt.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Well, she did take that stump tumble. I don't know
if you saw, but she was driving on the yeah,
and she said, I'm not gonna take Jacob Fattoo's advice anymore.
All gas no breaks or what does he say? Is
it all gas no Breaks? I think there's a part,
like a different part of it that differentiates it for him.
(33:49):
But yeah, we haven't. She hasn't posted since that too,
So hopefully Naomi is okay because she's on the run
of her of her career right now. Yeah. Even she
had been champion before, but like and want to at WrestleMania,
but she's on the run of her career.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Yeah, it'd be a damn shame if if this was
kind of the end of that, if she had to
give it up. Uh, you know, I know we're you know,
short on time obviously. You know, we've got things that
we need to do. But I will I just want
to talk about just real quick. Uh. Nobody Too comes
(34:28):
out on Friday.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
It does.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Yes, I'm very excited to see it. It is one
of like three movies right now that I've got to
get to the theater this week to see. I don't
really have any expectations for it, but I know that
the first movie was so damn good.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
I actually I just bought it when I was at Walmart.
I was like, I need to own this. I just
need to have it because it's it's that much fun.
It's just I got it for five bucks, like having
a physical copy of that for five bucks. And what's
his name, Odin Kirk was just on Conan's podcast and
(35:08):
like they were talking like fondly about it. He didn't
even know if nobody was gonna get made because he
got approached it to do it when he was making
Better Call Saul, and they offered him to take like
fight classes and stuff like that, and he's like, I'd
never really been a gym guy. So I was like, well,
even if we don't make this movie, at least I'll
(35:29):
know how to do these things for other things. And
then and like two months later, they call him and
he's like, hey, how's everything doing. They're like, yeah, well,
let's we're gonna make the movie. And he's like, all right, perfect,
I'm getting trained right now. And had it never happened,
at least I would have just gotten to the habit
(35:50):
of getting to the gym. And he's like, that's what
he's thankful for for the movie.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Well, I mean after he had that heart attack. I mean,
I'm sure he's grateful.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
For yeah everything.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Yeah, but the only other piece I have, and I
know you want to talk about it too, So so
let's jump in Alien Earth premiere. As we are.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Recording, I watched the first hour of it. Okay, it's
it's man, the production value looks insane. This looks like
a movie. Man, it looks like an HBO, HBO like
West World level budget. Oh wow, it's it looks great,
it's super interesting, super weird. It's from what I've heard,
(36:32):
Noah Hawley is saying that they're disregarding most of what
Prometheus and Covenant put out, but I feel like they've
taken the the template that David made as a synthetic,
and that's what they're running with. I think like David
Johnson was very much so in that same David aesthetic,
even though I mean we had other other like synthetics before,
(36:56):
like like what can I think of The Iron two?
He's fantastic and Aliens. I really loved him.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Are you talking about Bishop?
Speaker 2 (37:11):
I loved Bishop h Yeah, Lance Hendrickson, he was my
favorite synthetic until we got David. And then David's just like, uh.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
David's such a good character.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Yeah, Michael Fassbender really just re re established what we knew.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
I mean, was really good as Ash.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Oh they're they're all great, but the modern template of what.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
We're getting David was a leap and then an alien Romulus.
I really like what they I really like what they
did with Andy, with David Johnson's character.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
I love the fact that he was like a discontinued
model that she was just keeping and uh it was
their brother man and it Yeah, that made it so
much more like meaningful and like David Johnson did such
a great job in the role too. So actually, FX
(38:14):
had a marathon of alien movies going up until Alien
Earth came out. It's it's very interesting. Like I said,
it's very weird. I've only listened. I've only watched the
first hour. I got to where shit is about to
hit the fan and then had to step away.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
And I mean, people have to realize that Alien Earth,
this is, this is taking place even before Romulus. This
is which took place between alien and Aliens.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
I think I've heard this takes two years before Alien Okay,
takes place two years before that. I think that's what
I heard. So I think it's like twenty one to
twenty and I think Alien is twenty one, twenty two.
I don't remember. It's it's really good. But Nick last
thing that I wanted to bring up and we both
(39:06):
got to watch it. We both watched the last two weeks.
We didn't discuss it last week of Game Changer Man.
The the entire thing for Jacob Wis Hockey was just
such a like a such.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
A heartfelt episode.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
I knew what it was and like maybe two questions
and I was like, Okay, this is just to really
help Why Sockey because I feel like he doesn't get
as much credit for like he's an incredible improviser. He
works with with all these he is such a like
(39:45):
he's a one of one kind of improviser too, Like
is yeah, he like nobody really plays like a Why Hockey,
Why Hockey literally and he deserved like that. I feel
like it's hard to describe. He like he played a
game show about his life to earn like one hundred
(40:06):
thousand dollars correct. Yeah, and yeah, it's it's just like
a nice thing. Sam did, uh all the all the questions,
especially with Camilla, like everybody there. It was so sweet.
But yeah, that was a great episode. But the most
recent week, the season finale of the election. Yes, yes,
(40:31):
who would you have voted for?
Speaker 1 (40:33):
I mean, I'm a Brennan stand so I'm vote for Brittan.
But if not for Brennan, m man Ali maybe.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
Even after Allie threatened to kill all cats in the
world with her own hands.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
She has three guns.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
She does they do they? It was so funny.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Is just pure chaos, and that's what I love about them.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Beardsley is a Beardsley So like the evolution of Beardsley
on like either game changer or make some noise or
like I don't I don't think see I don't watch
Dimension twenty. I do know that they're big on Dimension
twenty as well. I don't I'm not very familiar with it. Sorry,
(41:32):
I'm trying to remember the the other people's say. Obviously Edgy,
obviously you know. I have a hard like what I
have voted for VIC because I don't know. Bria was great,
Brio was.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
Great, always great.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
Yeah, but I'm not really that familiar with Abria because
once again, they're a Dimension twenty person. Admittedly, like I
didn't love Demi's campaign, It wasn't my favorite campaign.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
He did want to give everybody money from their Venboa capto.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
But I think Vic was is who I would have
voted for.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Fix also one of one.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
They're they're incredible too. Uh yeah, I mean I loved
I loved how Brennan eventually got like forty of the
entire vote after getting five.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
I did love how they would bring out the big
board and then go over.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
That the second time. The second reveal was incredible, like
looking at Brennan's face, and then we did.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Get a great cameo. Uh Sam rightious dad, former former
Secretary of the Treasury.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
And who did he endorse? He endorsed, uh be his Demi? Right,
he endorsed Demi because Demi gave him money. Even though
I believe Brennan gave an impassion speech.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Brendan went right at man, where are you from?
Speaker 2 (43:05):
A beautiful callback, beautiful callback. It was a great season finale.
I think I think ending on the y Sockey probably
would have been better. Myself probably would have been.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
But I did really enjoy this episode.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Oh it was. It was very funny.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
You know. If I had to pick an episode in
the what the seventh season we're in, uh, probably the
episode where everyone was quote unquote drunk.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
Yeah, let me let me look up or or the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
The Olympics Outstanding one.
Speaker 2 (43:52):
Year later was a lot of fun. I didn't love
the Olympics. I did love earn it. The earnest one
with Ali, Zach and Lisa.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
Yeah, at least. Favorite was probably the crowd Work episode.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
I like that one. I ended up really like it
wasn't bad.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
I liked all of them.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Oh no, yeah, you were talking about the where everybody
thought they were drunk. The drinking game. I couldn't remember
which one that was. That one was very funny, especially Uh.
I'm such a big fan of I wish I could
remember her name Izzy. Uh yeah, and Izzy makes the
funniest faces where I love her. She's also kind of
(44:36):
chaos as well. She's like chaos, just a little smaller.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
What I think we can take from the entirety of
season seven is Dropout is a unique experience for viewers
and for the people that work for Dropout, And if
this is the model of entertainment moving forward, I'm one
hundred percent in. I will gladly give them my money
every month same because because they're creating content that you
(45:06):
can't get anywhere else.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
With and they're just trying to make some funny stuff.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
Yeah, with talent that normally we wouldn't see in like
studio form or network form. And and that's great, It's
such it's such a brilliant idea having all these different
types of shows that fit all different kinds of demographics,
(45:34):
and just the comedy that comes from it is amazing.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
Yeah, I mean without I mean, we know of improvisers
like js men Zukus and and and even Paul like
that because they got bigger, they got on shows. But
and then we retroactively learned that they, oh they're big
improvisers like yeah, even uh Amy Poehler, Amy Polar obviously SNL,
(46:00):
which isn't so much improv that's sketch. She came from
improv and like you yeah, upright citizens Uh And but
now we have like Dropout, which does it showcases just
for the most par our improvisers. Obviously they'll bring in
(46:21):
like bigger name people and actual like stand ups. Yeah.
But he's also known Sam Reich apparently forever so I
didn't know that. Uh, And we found out that Sam
Riich is an NPC and in Grand Theft, Auto Vice City,
yes or no, San Andreas. So if we would have
(46:45):
known that. And Sam Rice is just being this not
benevolent like ruler. He's like the ruler that everybody like
seems to enjoy. Yeah, but yes, he's been there the
whole and yet we still see him as a ruler
and we're not bothered by it.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
No, not at all. But yeah, get drop out, Phoebe.
Spend your money. It's worth it from Game Changer to
make some noise. Dirty laundry is great, smarty pants is great.
I love to mention twenty very important people. Yeah, very
important people. They've got something for everyone on there.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
So like.
