Are you ready? You know the you know, the basic whatever.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Okay, it up, but.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
It's it's play. We're fine, but.

Speaker 4 (00:12):
It just fills the cracks of the heart.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Actually I screwed it up. If you do it does
peanut butter, it's cracks of the heart. And then you
start immediately. Yeah, well hold on and see if I
can stop that. Nope, can't code, just nope, it started again.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Welcome to Kevin James completely.

Speaker 5 (00:45):
Okay, I need to that.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
I say, you keep all you keep.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
It complete retrospective of Kevin James past, present, and unfortunately future.
I'm Ree Maloney and with me, as always.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Are my co hosts Caleb George.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
This time we're checking out Amazon Prime slop that is
technically a movie Played eight, released on November twelfth, twenty
twenty five.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Good job with that intro. We all nailed this.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
I think it was the most The worst is that
we tried to rehearse it before and that is what
came out.

Speaker 5 (01:23):
There was an immense amount of thoughtfulness gone in before
even starting.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
That's correct.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
And we've been doing this for years. Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah, I think it's only the second time I've heard
that intro.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
It's Kevin James film. So we're doing it the Kevin
James way, just flopping.

Speaker 6 (01:40):
Through it.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Kind of hope, but no one notices that we suck.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Fuck James man, shall I read a PLoP? Sont?

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah? This thing?

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Okay? So the PLoP of this movie. Brian has just
been fired from his job. He becomes a stay at
home dad. He accepts a plate eight invitation from another
stay at home dad who turns out to be a
loose cannon.

Speaker 7 (02:10):
I love the simplicity with the and with that that
tagline line alone, like, that's the fun rock Kevin Hart movie.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
That's a fun right right.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
There have been several movies with this PLoP synopsis.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Oh absolutely. What makes this one different is I don't
want to watch Kevin.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Why? Yeah, does Kevin James want to be an action
star so bad? Why not do any of the work? Why?
Why is he doing this?

Speaker 2 (02:42):
I think he thinks that proximity to abs makes him
have abbs.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Okay, you know what, Okay, and you know what, it's.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Just it's kind of sad because you don't need him.
You're Kevin James. Do what you do.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Be funny, be funny, or try He's trying to do
the cheerleader effect. Have you ever heard of that? Like
when there's a group of women, they appear more attractive
to men, like all of.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Them, You're more attractive, yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Than if they were just by themselves. Okay, called the cheerleader.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Cheerleader.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Okay, he's trying to do that with Alan Richardson.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
He's just hanging around. So whenever you think hot and abs,
maybe you'll think Kevin James, I'm not that dumb head
that he always wears damn damn.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
And he figured that out around fifty did he He
did right?

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Okay, right when he started getting into his action.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
Do we think he works out? Oh yeah, yeah, he
works out right, Kevin James. Yeah, no, not Alan Richardson.
Kevin James.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah. I do feel like he's kind of in like
a every two years, I see him thin and then
he's back to normal, and then he's really thin, and
then he's a normal.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
He's always had a hard time with his weight. Yeah,
And I can't fault him for that one because he
lost all that money, But totally I get it. They're
the one thing that Kevin James and I haven't comment.

Speaker 5 (04:12):
I guess the only reason I ask is is like
am I gonna see anything athletic in this?

Speaker 3 (04:17):
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Like, I think you're gonna see him fall down a
few times.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
Well that's different than that, but I use my words
very specifically.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
You can't get up. I bet you his hamstrings are
gonna be tight.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Okay, so not athletic, that is what you're telling.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
I'm gonna see a lot of straight legging. I'm gonna
keep an eye on his legs.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
Because if we are moving into the Action Star era,
I'm just confused as to why I'm not saying the actions.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Who do we think is the loose cannon?

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Alan richards Allen Richardson, Yeah, but what if?

Speaker 8 (04:44):
No, No, I'm fairly comfident he's going to be the
every man who stumbles every time he gets in a
weird inner, and then he's somehow gonna.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Trick like the bad guy. He's gonna fall for his
stumbley bumblies. I'm calling that.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
I'm just saying, what if? What's his name? Alan Richard Richardson,
Ellen Rickman, don't do that. Don't don't insult him. I'm

(05:22):
you're may be missing.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Let's get back. Sorry, I mean there anything? Oh asked
for the reviews.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Oh yeah, so if you love this show, please leave
us a review on whatever podcasting platform you listen to
us on. If you have something you want to know
from us, weave a comment on one of our shows,
or reach out to us on Instagram. I see we
have a listener question. Yeah, so our good friend Mason
Wilkes said, Hello, Bacon, Marie and Caleb. I love that

(05:56):
you all are going back and rewatching, re experiencing some
of them movies who didn't watch as a group question
for Marie and Caleb, is there a movie that Bacon
missed from Adam Sandler Film School when he was in
Boston that you two would like him to watch with
You love the show as always, keep up the joy,
torture and laughs, keep them coming.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
That's tough.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
Yeah, there were some bad ones that we watched. We
watched really bad ones.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Did you guys watch Racing Stripes? Was that one of them?

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Did we?

Speaker 9 (06:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:26):
That was what the Zebra?

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Right?

Speaker 3 (06:28):
We did? We did watch that one?

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Right? Yes, I'm trying to think of because I listened
to you the episodes, which ones where I was like
if there was a time where I was like, oh man,
I wish.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
I missed that one.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
I think I would need to think on it.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Same because as you.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Said, they were really really bad.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
Most of them are pretty forgettable. Yes, like I remember
Osmosis Jones was kind of a fun one.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
But have you seen No, I have not seen. And
that's Chris Rock and it's animated. Is the animation good?

Speaker 5 (07:00):
No, I would say it's half to it's not great. Fine,
it's fine. It's far better than like Barnyard.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, I remember just the grossest things going on in
Bill Murray's body.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah, it is really gross.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Oh yeah, Bill Murray's bond.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah, it's really gross.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
That is gross for sure.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
I mean, and we also have I think we never
saw Lost and Found. That's a.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Oh my god, I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
What's his name, little Weasley guy? David just literally just
saw him concert. I got baby brain too, so I do.
My sleep hasn't been the best. That's okay, yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
He says a Weasley guy.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
I don't mean it, David. I like you.

Speaker 5 (07:50):
He is one of our more favorites sand Hans Sandman,
Sandman friends.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
But yeah, I think I think I would need to
think on it. To answer Mason's question, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Think about it because if we want to rewatch one
of those, because we are we already we just scheduled
we're gonna watch j Kelly. Yes, when a couple of
days after that comes out on Netflix. We were gonna
watch it in the theaters, but it's too late for me.
Bacon gets sleepy.

Speaker 5 (08:16):
I'm just looking through some of the movies that we watched, Yeah,
because I was like, what did we watch? There would
be a few that I would love to watch with Bacon?

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Actually, yeah, yeah, what are some of them?

Speaker 5 (08:26):
So there was like, you may not kiss the Bride? No,
it's not very good. We watched Monster House together, which
wasn't bad. Oh, Kirky Romano, Heavyweights, Racing Stripes, The Reef Down, Periscope,
Osmosis Jones.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
We watched Top Five together as well.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Can I tell you, I don't think I've ever seen Heavyweights?
You haven't, No, because as a fat kid, I'm like,
I can't go.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
I mean Heavyweights was probably our only kind the black Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
It actually Ben Stiller, Yeah, yeah, he's good, and I
feel like.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
We were like, oh my god, this holds up and
is so good.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
Yeah, I remember that being one. Yeah, absolutely I could
do that.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
One, but which ones are?

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Pooh?

Speaker 5 (09:12):
Well, the only one that I thought was kind of
fun that I always enjoys quirky Romana's Have you seen that?

Speaker 2 (09:17):
I like, I know we watched it, but I feel
like I've blacked that out of my memory. I cannot remember.
I can only remember like the.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Like, have you seen it?

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Make it? I saw it when it came out, and
that was the Remember. I remember the trailer you guys
thought Some Cacas was way better than in the movie.

Speaker 5 (09:39):
Correct was in the trailer, but the trailer.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Had a better take of you guys want some Cacas,
And then the movie itself is like.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Guys on it doesn't land as hard. Yeah, yeah, I'm like.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Why'd you use that take? Yeah, idiots, it's a.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
Weird one, but it definitely fits in like more than
probably do Bigelow type of feel for it. But it
is interesting. This will be my two, but we'll think
on it. Yeah, it's okay, question, very good question.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
So we're gonna do j Kelly and then we're gonna
do Deuce Deuce Deuce Bigelow two European jigglos uh before
the end of the year. So we got two more
episodes after this one, Adam Sandler, please stop content content
coming at you.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, and who knows what else in the New Year?

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Who knows? Who knows what's coming next year?

Speaker 3 (10:24):
We really don't.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Well, there's a there's one movie, there's the Solo Mio
comes out. It's another Kevin James.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Joint Solo Mio is coming out.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Damn. Why is he the prolific one?

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Why is he the prolific one?

Speaker 5 (10:37):
Why can't it be Sandler.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Who's prolific in February?

Speaker 1 (10:40):
You guys?

Speaker 2 (10:41):
So, Yeah, the New Year is going to bring some
fun stuff.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
And there's a couple Adam Sandler movies lined up for
next year. I do believe I'll just bring it.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
I can't wait.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
We got plenty of content here.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
I hope Sandman goes into his Oscar like Oscar.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
Go get him stage?

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, I hope so too.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Could you imagine if he was an.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Oscar you know what?

Speaker 5 (10:59):
I could being like a Peter Seller situation where it's
just like he really goes for it and he doesn't
win because they're like, but ultimately he's a comedian, you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
We want to give this to him. But he did
make Jack and Jill exactly.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Do we want that oscar next to all those exactly
bringing it down?

Speaker 5 (11:23):
But I can see him doing one like a movie
in the future that is just amazing and we're like,
oh my cuz, Uncatch Gems is incredible.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Was he not even nominated for No Year? That's okay.
If Adam Sandler gets nominated for an Academy Award, we
should live stream.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Oh yeah, us.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Watching yeah the Oscars And then like when it comes
react to if he wins or doesn't win, yes, because
we I don't know. I'm watching all the Robin Williams
movies right now. And Robin Williams does a lot of
serious movies. In the beginning, once he gets his oscar
for Goodwill Hunting, he then tries to in like into
heavy oscar bait and works against him. Like then he

(12:04):
starts trying too hard. Interesting, and he made like Jacob
the Liar, which is okay, but like not Oscar worthy.
What Dreams May Come That also felt like it was
trend for an oscar. There's a but, And then if
you look at like he makes a lot more serious
movies after Goodwill Hunting.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
What's that movie where he's like a scary like.

Speaker 5 (12:24):
Photo photo, Yeah, you're so close, you're almost there. What's
movie where he produces a photo and a sixty minutes.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Lens crafters Len's craft, you know.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
That old technology.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
I know, But I think I think he's another guy
that they weren't going to give him the oscar for
a long time because.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
He's a comedian.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
He should have got it. He should have Poets, Dead Poets.
The Awakenings is a great one. I think it's greatly
give it to de Niro for that one though, too.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
Yeah, but Dead Poets it felt like it was like what, yeah,
what really?

Speaker 1 (13:02):
But if you watch Goodwill Hunting like you cannot like
that is his so far in watching his best performance,
and he is a fantastic act.

Speaker 5 (13:10):
Oh he's brilliant, Yeah, so brilliant. Yeah, so we went
to Juilliard. He's well trained. Mats with Superman, Christopheried I
call him superman.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
You know he's not.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Don't say that. Don't ruin it for me. He's not
dead anyway.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
The format is we watched the movie together, plopping every
thirty minutes to discuss it. So far, each one of
us has a PLoP card that we can use to
pause the movie before that. Thirty minutes is up just
in case there's something that we need to talk about.
Are we ready to watch this film?

Speaker 1 (13:54):
This play? No, we literally talked around this movie.

Speaker 10 (14:00):
Yeah, we talked about everything, but this one probably doing.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
The same thing.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Yeah, I'm not looking forward to this. I'm gonna guess
that this is going to be towards the bottom of
my list. If yeah, that's gonna be my guess.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
We'll see, we'll see.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
All right, let's check it out. Oh shit, it's Pucus.
What's up, Pucus.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
Look, I'm sorry if I did anything to piss you
guys off.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Honestly, I just want it to be cool between this.

Speaker 11 (14:28):
Hey, I don't touch him.

Speaker 5 (14:30):
Daddy's here.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
Let's go, Lucas, we'll take something. Minutes you touch him again,
I come back here. I personally kick every one of
your asses. Everyone, every ass, I kick it. Understand. Just
let's go and just come on. Do you understand what
you guys almost got into? Do you have any idea
the annihilation that would have taken place here?

Speaker 11 (14:48):
Annihilation?

Speaker 1 (14:49):
What you want to go? You're feeling frisky? You want
to go, I'll go. You want to go, let's go?
How old Are you what the hell would you come from?
Let's go.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
I'm not saying I want to go. I'm saying we
can go Talking Ship and Stid old Man, bring the
boys down. Okay, we're in the locker rooms on of acoustics.

Speaker 6 (15:04):
You just said you could kick all our asses.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
I haven't even eat yet.

Speaker 11 (15:07):
We have reservations at Benny Hannah.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Do you know what they do?

Speaker 11 (15:09):
The smoking volcano thing with the runions. It's fine, let's go,
Lucas Man go. Just better watch it next time.

Speaker 9 (15:15):
Yeah, oh.

Speaker 11 (15:27):
It just the heart.

Speaker 5 (15:29):
We have watched thirty minutes and the introduction to Bacon's DJ.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
Career or Shock Jocker.

Speaker 5 (15:43):
We watched thirty minutes of Playdate, which has been quite
a ride already. How are we feeling, Murray and Bacon.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
We're angry.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
It's an interesting vibe here.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
I feel like we're angry. We're angry at this.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
To be fair, this movie has got us a couple
of times. There's a couple good lines and a couple
of throwaway lines. This is this is reminding me a
lot of like an old Adam Sandler, like an old
shitty Adam saying where you're like man, like I now
pronounce you chuck and Larry is such shit, so bad.
But every now and then there's like one two jokes

(16:21):
in that.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
Because spray, it's spray really is whatever hits many and
so it's like every once in a while, I'm like,
that's legit funny, Like that is really funny.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
But it's just so like unfocused.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yes that it's very unfocused.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
It's a wild movie so.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Far, Marie, can you explain what has happened so far?

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Kevin James is a dad, He loses his job, becomes
a stay at home dad for approximately.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
One whole day, which and then I said, and he
was reluctant to.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Take this reluctant to take this job. Also, the child
is watching is thirteen, This is and the mom was like,
I do love staying home with him all day. But
I can go back to work.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Well here's the green board. I can go back to
being a lawyer. You wear a lawyer the whole you weren't.

Speaker 5 (17:16):
I was doing accounting for a shitty company the whole time.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah, what the hell, I don't know what.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
The accountant pays, but I'm gonna bet theawyer. He also
he's a coach of a lacrosse team and he doesn't
know anything about lacrosse.

Speaker 5 (17:32):
I said at the beginning, he lost that huddle real thing.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Well, if you had that the jacket that Kevin James
is wearing, I can't respect somebody in that jacket. You
can't coach a team. You can't get in front of
a team and start yelling at me when you were
wearing a jacket with Adidas. But then all of a sudden,
it's like a giant triangle that ends directly on your nipple. Yeah. Sorry.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Also, in this world, they the kids play sports and
go to parks, but don't go to school.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
No, there's not.

Speaker 5 (18:03):
I'm guessing it's summer. But then y'all shot that down.
So I don't have anything for wearing.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Like warm weather, like warm jackets. They look cold and
they look like in California.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
And what it's Kevin James wearing.

Speaker 5 (18:16):
That's the thing that's throwing me A stupid, stupid fucking hat.
That's the thing that's throwing me off that I actually
don't think. I think that you've been you. You two
are saying, well, look at what he's what they're wearing.
Look at what Kevin James is wearing, which is what
Kevin James always.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
You can't assign season to Kevin James.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
You know what I'm saying, you can't. But and also
I also call this straight leg. Yes, straight leg, I
called it. I'm like, we're going to see a lot
of old man straight leg. He doesn't bend, he can't squawk.
His body has become very interesting. It's a ball two sticks.
It's grew that can only fall.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
It's giving. It's giving like Stocky grew. It's not all
enough to be a.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Zero or even as funny as grow.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
Oh, absolutely absolutely.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
And he doesn't have minions.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
Well I don't know no spoilers.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
In this world. So we established that kids don't go
to school. TikTok is called dick Doc.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
We almost popped, that was what I said.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
I said, it doesn't deserve it. It doesn't deserve I.

Speaker 5 (19:25):
Kind of disagree with you, Like, you're right, we could
have done a PLoP for the dick docs. But I
but I was going off ears. But I do think
the idea of dick Doc is hilarious, especially the way
they introduced it was the thirteen year old singing music
like musicals. Yes, and so it was like we thought
it was okay to show a thirteen year old doing

(19:47):
musicals with Dick doc.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Above it like this was a good idea, This is
a okay So this is Would you consider this a
family movie? It's on the edge, it is, it's a
family move.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
Be on meth like that's the way it feels like
it toes the looe Yes, it really does reach your.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Guy says a kid's mom went tits up.

Speaker 5 (20:10):
And it's one of the best moments's mom went tits up.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
You're supposed to explain the plot.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
It's so easy.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
We just left off as Bucky Cheese. But we do
have to talk about the best line we've heard so far.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Uh, the Benny Hannah joke. Yeah, oh, I'll play that right,
though I don't play it here. I don't have it,
but yeah, have it.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Dredging to beat up children, a large child calls his
bluff and Kevin Stumbley Bumbies out of it by saying, oh,
you know, we gotta go. I got a reservation, Penny Hannah.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
It took him for ever. It took a long time
for the Stumbley Bumblies, but.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Hannah, Yeah, it was really funny.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
But I know I'm talking about in Kevin James's whole career,
like he's been stumbley bumblies and we haven't found it
funny ever. Oh, this is the first time we found
a stumbley bumbly funny. Yes, the Benny Hannah joke. He
finally got there.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Jesus finally got us.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Wow, we can wait, Kevin, we have we have.

Speaker 5 (21:27):
My God, this is this is just a wild movie
because I still don't know what's going on. Oh yeah,
so it's where is a child that seems to be superhuman?

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yes? What do he do to that birdhouse? Dude?

Speaker 3 (21:41):
He did like a three.

Speaker 5 (21:42):
Sixty like like street fighter Chung Lee spin move.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yes. So there's Kevin James child who is a sweet
perhaps a little gay boy, Yes, and we love him.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
And he's and possibly a genius.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
We love him.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
He's very smart. He's definitely smarter than his father.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
The oh absolutely, his father couldn't ma him a sandwich.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
But there's there's mister Reacher's child, who is maybe great
casting because that child is unsettling.

Speaker 5 (22:12):
There's something to stir, something to look at.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
He's creepy looking. In the movie, he eats a.

Speaker 5 (22:18):
Butterfly because he keeps putting things in his mouth.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, he does three sixty.

Speaker 5 (22:24):
I can't I can't tell, though. This is the land
we live in right now. I can't tell if that's
just something that is an important plot point.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Or just the comedy of this world.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Does that make sense?

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, I'm definitely gonna be fighting grown men and beating
them up. Yes. Is that gonna be normal? Yes?

Speaker 5 (22:43):
Or is that normal? So he's a he's some sort
of superhuman creature.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Is that what? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, he's just a freak like mister Riacher.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
It's kind of like we almost have. Is that what
it is? What's it? Superbad? Not super bad? I don't know. Uh,
the one a kick ass. It's like a kick ass situation.

Speaker 5 (23:05):
So I guess my question I'm asking is is he
genetically modified? No, he's not.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
This is a normal We don't know, we don't know.

Speaker 5 (23:14):
I'm getting the impression that this kid is particularly important
plot wise. Am I assigning this.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Movie to I think so, based on our expertise, they
don't have to explain this, I think so.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
I'm just wondering if he's genetically.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Modified, we could be wrong and wrong.

Speaker 5 (23:34):
We got an et situation where the government comes for
it but we've watched.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Movies where they don't have to explain this. This is
just in this world. He is just a really strong child. Yeah.
Also innocent bystandards, get hurt, all right, so have we.
So there's that kid.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
What about right side up? Hand?

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Oh my god?

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Right, okay, okay, right side up normal?

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Right upside? He's hanging upside out.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
He said, upside normal?

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Upside yeah, upside down or upside normal.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
Kevin James and his kid are sitting eating at Bucky
Cheese when and also the nastiest pizza show. Oh my god,
it was black black, It was just black and a
banana ship. Food. He always talks about food and all

(24:31):
the food in his movies, like food in a Weird
Owl video looks better than the ship, dude, And it's
so easy and not overcook prop food. Shouldn't it looked
like it was made out of clay?

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Also, on what planet? Are all the pepperonis burnt to
a crisp? But the cheese is totally fine?

Speaker 1 (24:53):
That isn't real cheese.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
What happens?

Speaker 5 (24:55):
That's the woman doesn't make any sense to me?

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Why did you? Why?

Speaker 5 (24:59):
No one was like those pepperonis are not right and
make any sense.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Hey, bos on camera, they look like turns.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Got some coasters we've ran out of We forgot to
buy the Pepperonis. I'm just gonna put some coasters on
these pizzas.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Jesus, disgusting, disgusting. How dare this movie so? Kevin James
and his kid who's smarter than him are sitting and
a Reacher is at the other side, just having a
PTSD meltdown like this guy every interaction like he is
on the hinge.

Speaker 5 (25:35):
He picked up the children and threw them in a
mini van. Yes, there's no consent there, there's no consent.
This movie doesn't give a gentleman like this consent because
he has been balls of the wall since we've met
this and.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Reach your kid is just somehow climbed up to the
top of the ceiling of Bucky Cheese and is doing
a pull up, and Jack Reacher says, oh, yeah, he's
up there hanging upside down, and we're all like, he's
not upside down because he's like doing little pull ups,
and then Caleb goes, yeah, he's upside normal. I'm like,

(26:08):
I can't believe I've lived this long and I've never
heard upside and normal.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
It made sense.

Speaker 5 (26:14):
He was upside normal. What would be the opposite of
upside down?

Speaker 3 (26:20):
You just don't represent there is up on the sea
like upside normal.

Speaker 5 (26:24):
Normals the opposite.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
The normal way you know on the ceiling.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
What's what's the.

Speaker 5 (26:32):
Opposite upside down? Upside up that right side?

Speaker 3 (26:38):
Why is that to be right?

Speaker 2 (26:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
It's got to be normal.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
I didn't make the rules.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
Normals got to be normal. You do gotta make sense.
It made sense.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
You do owe me fifty bucks. I'm not fooling around.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Oh my god, is fish? Is Fisher is part of
like the Mommy they call themselves that. Yeah, but they've
been introduced, we've gotten away from him. We might not
see him again.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
I disagree. I think this is gonna come back.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
I think this is gonna be a Pete Paul Thomas
Anderson Weaving of story.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
We're talking magnolia right now.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yeah, you're correct, they'll probably come back in and save
the day.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
Yeah. I think it is a muffy after it.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah, right, we're like twenty eight minutes in right where
we pause, we feel like there's gonna be a big
action sequence. And I think that's maybe when we're the
Honda Odyssey joke. I hope that has a payoff of
like we see action sequence where it's like a Blues
Brothers but it's just Honda odyssees.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
It's just like the Mafia Nation, just middle aged women.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
The product placement, like Kevin James is wearing a black
hat with nothing on it. It's at for the logo
forty seven that led the people who make the hat
Coca Cola Cohonda Odyssey. Ye playdate. The title card doesn't
come in until fifteen minutes, and that was. That was

(28:12):
And I have to.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
Say, I'm so tired of the lazy, the lazy like
cold open this.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
This is like they showed thirty.

Speaker 5 (28:19):
Seconds and then they went twenty four hours earlier. Really,
you can't just start at the movie, Like.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
I really thought it was going to be so late lazy,
that it was going to be like, hey, I'm Brian.
You're probably wondering how.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
That would have been better. I would have actually left
because they could be at least yeah, yeah, it felt
like a YouTube video. Yeah, that's the reason why they
had to put, oh, here's the action sequence right at
the beginning. So if you just because if you're just
scrolling through Amazon Prime because no one's watching this now,
like you're watching this six years from now on a
rainy Sunday. You're flipping through your Amazon Prime after a breakup,

(28:58):
and now you can't use their Netflix, so all you
god is your Amazon Prime least. You're going through there
and you're like, what's on my watch list? And you're like, oh, yeah,
six years ago I put on that Kevin James play
ate that might cheer me up. And you start watching
that and you're like, oh my god, you've always talked
about buying that. Maybe I should text her right now,
And that's what they want you to do.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
Damn, damn they.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
I hope no one under forty was dating always wanting.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Look, they do look like good car. So I'm just saying,
I think one of our neighbors has one that looks
really nice. I'm turning into a dad real fast?

Speaker 2 (29:40):
You are?

Speaker 5 (29:41):
You have that fast accelerated?

Speaker 1 (29:43):
It's you know what it you don't really accelerated it.
The first time I put on a robe, what I've
never owned a robe?

Speaker 3 (29:57):
You've never owned a robe before? What you forty?

Speaker 5 (30:01):
Yeah, forty two, you've never put on a rope.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Now they're only one. And that was the moment you
only see my hotels and then I'm like, that's gross.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
That was the moment that you had a big lebowski
where you're like, I get it.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
I was like, holy fucking ship. And I had to
have a discussion with Ruth and be like, oh, God,
can I and so can I wear these? Can I
wear these on my conference calls? And She's like, my
god no? And I'm like, well, what if it's just
like my persona? No?

Speaker 3 (30:32):
What if it's my persona?

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Now?

Speaker 5 (30:35):
What if my persona is just wearing a robe every
time someone sees me.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
I'm just a robe guy?

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Like, what in your brains connecting dude dad to the robe?

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Oh? Come on, people can.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Wear I see it. Honestly, I see it. I get it.
On the bridge from you to him, I get it.

Speaker 7 (30:56):
I get it.

Speaker 5 (30:57):
It's like it's also it's also not appropriate.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
And maybe in my home.

Speaker 5 (31:05):
You understand that the rome is not a lifestyle. He's
going full lifestyle you exactly. You are saying, no, it's
for occasion, And I am in between actually.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Shuffling down his condo stairs with breaking.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
He's giving up some pulp.

Speaker 5 (31:25):
Yeah, he's giving up oh j he's found a reason
to give up.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
On his sidewalk and taking a switch.

Speaker 5 (31:33):
He's found a reason to give up. We're all hoping
for it. We all want the reason to give up.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Another Amazon delivery. I gotta go down there. Damn Amazon
controls everything.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yeah, man, Welcome to the Welcome to the matrix.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Yeah, ropes are great. You don't need to be dead,
you don't.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
You should not wear well. I rethe says I can't
so whatever, smart onean Yeah, I know. That's why I
married her. I listened to her. She said, you know,
she would never come up with this idea. That's another
running joke that's been happening the night anytime something bad happens.
I blame Marie for coming up with the idea for

(32:17):
this podcast. Also, Marie said, I wish I was watching
Operation dumble Drop.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Okay, because give me some Lovin came on, which is
famously an Operation dumble Drop song. Duh, And I just
kicked Franklin.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Marie kicked a dog. Sorry a bunch of negative comments.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Okay, don't make it sound like I drop kicked him.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Dog kicker comment as the dog on our podcast yelling
at Maray's dog kicker shifting my So there's a lot
of random songs in this movie, and the movie doesn't
do him any justice. But there was an Operation Dumbo
drop song. Yeah, and Marie said, no, no, you can't.
And then she's like, would you rather be watching Operation Dumbo?

Speaker 2 (33:12):
I would rather be watching Operation Doumbo Drop. It's a
good film.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yes. How many Kevin James movies? How many Kevin James
movies have you watched? Like sixteen or something. I don't know.
He's rather watched Operation Dumbo Drops sixteen times? Yeah, than
watch all these independent movies. They're so bad. This movie sucks.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
It really does. It is all over the place.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
One of my jokes, one of the jokes I think
is very funny, but I'm like, what is this movie
is He's like they're driving in the car, they're driving
away from whatever, and it is an action sequence. And
he's like, go ahead and put on one of my
DVD's and they watched Silence of the Land highlights.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
It's highlights.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
He's like, puts on the jumps, like start with Jump.

Speaker 5 (33:53):
Ski it jumps like an hour forty in.

Speaker 6 (33:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
When he's like.

Speaker 5 (33:57):
About when he's got the mask on and I'm like, what.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
You fam barely in that movie. He's in like twelve
minutes of that movie.

Speaker 5 (34:03):
Right, that's that's the moment where he's getting transferred to
the other prison, like he's done in fifteen.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Well, Jack Creature has PTSD or something, right, because like
this is insane. The stuff that he's watching and doing
is just insane.

Speaker 5 (34:16):
And I think I'm a little This feels like it's
falling along this line of like this actor shouldn't be funny.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
He's in great shape.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yeah, they're trying to pull uh John Cena.

Speaker 5 (34:28):
John A Rock right from Central Intelligence, this idea of like,
well they're not allowed to be in shape and funny.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
But wait, right, have you guys seen thor ragn around totally?
I mean like this movie is so in the past
on this, yeah, so annoying. It's like, yeah, we know,
in shape guys could be funny.

Speaker 5 (34:47):
Yeah, it just seems like it's overplayed at this point. Yeah,
so it's really play day, So we overplayed Dy.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
You kind of hope that this movie would go above
and beyond on that and like let him on the shine,
but instead he's just like Scary's.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Scary a psychopath.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Kevin James is the only like, Kevin James is the
grounded character.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
In this He's the one making.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
What I'm talking about.

Speaker 5 (35:16):
He's now making the reasonable decisions.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah. If Kevin James is the most reasonable person in
your film, you've done your film wrong.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
I feel like we haven't had something like this since
Memoirs of an International Assassin.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Oh my gosh, Yeah, which.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Is my least favorite. Really, this is better than that
so far because he's a bad.

Speaker 5 (35:37):
Father, yes, Like his son's injured and he's on the
field and he's like, get ups on.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Also his son is like thanks Dad, I love you,
and he's.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Like, people, I wouldn't say I love you.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
I wouldn't want anyone to know I love you.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah. If people think I love my son, they might
think I'm you know, they might think I'm you know,
they might think I don't like women or something. What why?
What the heck's wrong with you?

Speaker 5 (36:04):
Because there's that weird like undertap like toxic masculinity in
his films. It's really weird.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
You know, this movie would be hilarious like two thousand
and three. Sure, yeah, it kind of fits in that
time frame. It's insane that we're watching this now, it's insane.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
Yeah, it is just a bummer though, Like I feel
like it'd be much stronger and funnier if he was
like love you too, Love you too, buddy. Like they
just are like lovey dovey father son. Like that's cute.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
And that's what invited to Mitzvah is that's what we.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
All enjoy, and that's why we loved it.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
The marrowitth stories, Yeah, same thing, that's what we want
to see. We don't want to see this artificial Uh.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
He's like a fun dad spannglish. Yeah, good girl dad.

Speaker 5 (36:56):
I think we're all like really wanting the vulnerability aspect
of its.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Don't want to do that.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
I don't understand why.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
And we talked a little bit about it before we
started the movie because we smoked a little bit of
the Devil's lens and we went down a rabbit hole
talking about you know, if Chris Farley never passed, then
there would be no Kevin James. And how if you
put Chris Farley in any one of these Kevin James movies,
he makes them instant way better and he even b

(37:24):
would be better in this but and what's the big
difference is Chris Farley always had that huge vulnerability. You
could always see through the cracks. There's no cracks in
this round ball, straight leg.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
You got cracking, you get rid of it.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Dude. Come on, you're a millionaire. You're making movies. We
want to see actors. You got to be vulnerable, you
gotta be won't know if you want to be an actor.
I just don't understand who that's due. Who's that playing
to anymore? In other men who are uh can't open up.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
I guess it's just weird.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Yeah, it's like he's missed where Adam has like picked
up on the change of the tide, you know, in
that like toxic masculine. I mean, Adam is not perfect,
as this podcast has established, but I feel like he's

(38:34):
kind of being more vulnerable and real, and like we're
seeing that more and more of his films as he
gets older, and Kevin is just like not catching on
to that.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
We are in the Sandler renaissance. Yes, weird.

Speaker 5 (38:45):
We are excited about it, Kelly.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
We cannot wait to watch that one. And when we
started this podcast, Adam Sandler was at his lowest yes week,
and he has climbed his way back and he has
set up his family and he's doing such a great job.
But all his little cronies didn't catch up. Because Kevin
James is the best one with movies, most successful, oh,

(39:10):
most successful, share because Rob Schneider can't get anything done.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
Yeah, David Spay's not.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
The last thing Rob Schneider did was a ad for
like a whiskey called Liberal tears or something.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Oh my god, wait, really I did not see this.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
I'll post that on our Instagram. Okay, I do have
the photo. I think it's my phone background.

Speaker 5 (39:30):
Hold on, that seems protectives.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
No freaking way, your phone. It's not your daughter.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Yeah what my photos? I w there you go.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Yes we did, Yes, we did Tears of the Left. Oh,
tears of the Left.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
All right, okay, liberal tears.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
Do you want to spend your time doing that? That's fine,
that's fine.

Speaker 5 (39:55):
Your time in your head seems unpredictive, unproductive, but that's fine, totally.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
I think. Uh.

Speaker 5 (40:01):
I think also with Kevin James, like I just don't
understand for me, like what his what he wants to
do anymore. I'm really confused what the genre is. Yeah,
because it used to be funny and now I don't
know what it is anymore.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Right, Yeah, because he's the straight man in this. Yeah,
and the only jokes he had is I'm going to
beat up a child. Yeah, yeah, that's it. Oh and
we haven't even talked about his wife, Scrubs girl.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Yeah, Sarah chalk Sarah, it is Scrubs.

Speaker 5 (40:34):
I'm trying to figure out where again another person completely
out of his league.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
But I was trying to figure I screamed they kiss
on screen. It was disturbing. It shouldn't be allowed. I'm writing,
my congressman, what do you mean?

Speaker 5 (40:47):
It's I feel like this is so constant with these films.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
She is actually the first person we've seen in a
while that has like chemistry with him.

Speaker 5 (40:55):
She's not bad, She's not bad, I think, But I
also am always like, this is so like not yeah,
you're so much better.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
She's so much she could be so much more subtle,
she could be warmer, but instead she's playing down to
his level. It's very disconnected. That's his movie. Yeah, it's
not her fault. I still yeah. Yeah. Also, when Kevin
James went to work the one day we saw him
and he got fired, they were in they were in

(41:23):
a guy's office and there was just a bunch of
people watching cheetah footage.

Speaker 5 (41:26):
Yes, you guys, because if it was like live, this
is where the movie doesn't make any sense to me.
This is where I'm trying to understand what it's trying
to do that is such absurdist humor. Yeah that I'm like,
this is out of place with the people in the film,
Kevin James and the basic concept of what's going on.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Right, if this was a Tim Robinson movie, yeah, exactly,
it would be funny and hilarious. But watching like we
bet money on these cheetas.

Speaker 5 (41:59):
Because there's a metaphor there that's deeply funny. Yes, so
I'm like, oh, that's kind of funny, that's kind of interesting, Okay,
And then that whole scene is very weird and funny,
but it feels so misplaced within the greater context of
the film.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
What am I watching?

Speaker 1 (42:15):
We forgot about that part, that that part felt so
disconnected from the movie. It felt like an actual good scene. Yeah, yeah,
and we're kind of getting I was kind of getting excited.
And then the rest of this like Bucky cheese, I mean,
good god, yeah, is it even called Buckeye cheese or
are we just giving it a better name.

Speaker 5 (42:32):
What do you mean, I think that's I think it's
actually literally called Bucky Cheese.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Okay, in the in the movie's actual it is called
Bucky Cheese. I thought you were like, is Bucky Cheese?

Speaker 1 (42:45):
Is it real? Is bucket?

Speaker 2 (42:47):
They're making a play on I did a commercial.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
For Bie Cheese.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
Good for you? Good for booking.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
Commercials?

Speaker 3 (42:54):
Yeah for booking.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Chef, but a big old mustache on you, g sidebar.
Do you know that Chucky Cheese doesn't have the robots anymore?

Speaker 1 (43:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (43:09):
You get the fu home ied it.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
I haven't witnessed it, but my sister in law like
went to Chuck E Cheese recently and she's like, the
robots are gone. I was disgusted.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
I did do a Chuck E Cheese commercial.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
Yeah, and the robots are gone.

Speaker 3 (43:25):
That's how I know, did you really?

Speaker 1 (43:27):
I did a Chucky Cheese commercial and the bit was
that a guy really wanted to go to Chucky Cheese,
but he thought he had to have a kid, so
he had like a doll in one of those baby
buorn jumpery things attached to him.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Who the fuck?

Speaker 1 (43:40):
I'm sorry, I don't remember what are you describing to me,
I got paid for this and you should.

Speaker 3 (43:46):
Have Yes, you should have done it for free.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
Wait who signed off on that? That's like but that's
like pedophile.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
That was the whole concept of the Yeah, the whole
concept of the commercial was actually they were trying to
say like they were trying to appeal to the adults
to want to bring their kids in, being.

Speaker 3 (44:05):
Like they don't have kids.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Well, yeah, they're saying.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
I guess they didn't need to say that.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Yeah. I don't really remember.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Why they had you bring a doll in because you were.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Just saying I was I was the friend. I was
a friend who pointed out how weird it was. Okay,
but it was I was a part of the commercial. Yeah. Wow.
Interesting And they shut like six commercials that day, and
there's a ton of kids just kind of hanging out
because so they all were background actors, but then they
were also cycled in for like the kid actors.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
Interesting, it's a long day.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
It was a good day.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
Wow, it was.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
I found out that there was no robots. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (44:42):
Yeah, honestly, very upset about it because there's no reason
to going.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
Right, what's the point.

Speaker 3 (44:47):
What's the point is not for.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
The pizza, No one's going for the pizza, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
Because I want to see something spark and blow up.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
You go for the weird robots that sing songs absolutely
that are annoying. Yeah, but get stuck in your head.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
That's what I go for.

Speaker 5 (45:02):
Chester Entertainment cheese, Yeah, yes.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
Do we have anything else? We have to say? No,
we still have We still have two more stops.

Speaker 5 (45:12):
This is gonna be a weird one, and I'm predicting
a PLoP card. Okay, I think this is the random
energy of a PLoP card coming.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
You know what I'm gonna say. I feel like this
is gonna be our longest stop period. I feel like
everything after I don't think it's gonna do much different
than what we've already seen. You know. I feel like
we're not gonna have a lot to talk about after this.
That's my prediction. Okay, but there will be a PLoP
card because something weird is gonna happen.

Speaker 5 (45:34):
Something in the air, Something's gonna happen too random, a
chaos jokes from time to time.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
I feel like there's gonna be something out of the field.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
Yep o, caase's ready for thirty more minutes?

Speaker 3 (45:43):
Soss P, what.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
Are you talking about you're the one who saved him, Brian.
Great dad, You've got a great kid.

Speaker 3 (45:55):
Kitty loves you.

Speaker 11 (45:58):
I don't know about that, you know what I gotta
say you being a stepdads. I thought i'd have kids
in my twenties or thirties, and that didn't happen, and
I was okay with that. Then they put Emily in
my life, and it's like, Wow, you know this amazing
woman who's kind of out of my league, you know,

(46:20):
totally out of your leak like way way.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
Out quick looks personal. I like pretty much every day,
I possibly got it. You know what he's saying. PLoP
card Caleb George has called a PLoP card because there's
somebody in the movie. Uh we did we talk about
the two star review? Explain what, explain why we why

(46:43):
we plopped? For sure? For sure? For sure?

Speaker 5 (46:45):
So I saw on letterbox that Paul walt Hauser, Paul right,
Paul Walter Hauser, who is delightful, has now showed up
in this film. I did not realize that he gave
a review of this movie that was like rhythm other night.

Speaker 3 (47:03):
I had a great time with these jokes. I did
not realize he.

Speaker 5 (47:06):
Meant that literally he was in there.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
I did not mean that. He meant literally.

Speaker 5 (47:11):
He had a great time doing this with these gentlemen.
But my favorite part is he gave this movie two stars.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
Too.

Speaker 5 (47:20):
Stops in it and he gave it two stars, which
makes me laugh so hard. And the moment I saw him,
it made me laugh. I just love the idea of
an actor being like.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
Two stars and he's not like a movie star. No,
you know, that's great. That's how you know it's honest.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
That's how you know.

Speaker 5 (47:42):
That's how he gave it a really honest review.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
Oh wow, So I had to stop.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
We had to stop, We had to stop on that.
Anything else you wanted to say about it, No, that's it,
that's it. Yeah, I love it, love it great. Back
to this piece of shit, Well, it.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
Was at this top secret building.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
I didn't know who.

Speaker 12 (48:00):
Owned it or what went on in there because I
was never allowed inside. The job was pretty strenuous, lots
of problem solving, and I got to pretend I was
come through freaking Panda, which was pretty freaking awesome.

Speaker 6 (48:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (48:14):
So all I was told to do was patrol the
area and submit to random drug tests, which I have
no idea how I passed, because there was like literally
no chance I passed anyway. So when I was working
this top secret building, the only other employee I ever
saw there was this bearded dude who looked just like
Zach Galifanakis.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
But it wasn't him because I asked him once and
he said no. But I get that all the time.

Speaker 12 (48:36):
You see, we were never allowed to give our real names,
so I just called him galifanak Ish. So a few
weeks ago, this truck pulls up to the warehouse with
a package.

Speaker 3 (48:46):
Which was super weird because I don't even have an
Amazon account.

Speaker 5 (48:51):
I didn't want to leave it outside all night in
case it was something super important like the Ark of
the Covenant.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Brought it in and that's when I heard it.

Speaker 8 (49:05):
Oh shit, you throunded asshole, We're we're all gonna blow
your head off.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
Oh my god, who's there?

Speaker 2 (49:13):
I'm in here.

Speaker 3 (49:15):
So I posted it through the door because I'm big
and freaking awesome.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
And then what did I do.

Speaker 12 (49:26):
I rescued him like a rescuer, like the Yellowstone guy
from Bodyguard, way more badass and cool.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
There you have it, There you have it.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
Yeah, all right, we are back having watched another half
hour and basically everything Cayleb predicted happened.

Speaker 13 (49:48):
Hey notre damass, heyre damas, haynder damas, hey nerder damas.
How's it feel feels f should be a bell tower
or something?

Speaker 5 (50:01):
I felt crazy before when I was trying to be
like you understand, right, you understand how it's like, doesn't
something feels weird?

Speaker 1 (50:08):
And Baltimore and are like not too smart, like we're smart, Yeah,
we think it's just stupid. No, he's a clone. He's
his name is CJ because it literally stands because he
stands for clone.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
Jeff Jeff is Reacher's character name. He've been just calling
him Reacher, so we do have to explain that.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
Yeah, because he's not a Jeff. He's not a Jeff
in any way. He's a Reacher all the way through
and through.

Speaker 5 (50:37):
I have so many questions though from that. Is that
he is ultimately a security guard for the facility in
which CJ.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
Was clone Clone.

Speaker 1 (50:46):
Yes, yes, but.

Speaker 5 (50:47):
He's a really bad security guard.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
Yeah. And there's like a backstory about him being in the.

Speaker 5 (50:54):
Army lost over that he refused to shoot a child.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
With a bomb bomb.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
He has PTSD, he refused to shoot him, and he
got court martial.

Speaker 5 (51:06):
He got court martialed for it for refusing to shoot
a child that didn't seem to be setting off the
bomb wasn't he was just wearing it, just wearing a
car victim exactly, the bomb exactly exactly.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
Very shooting then would have been power amount.

Speaker 5 (51:22):
So I think murdered, yes, and he chose not to
do that and he got for it.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
Yeah, it's really stupid. This movie is so stupid.

Speaker 6 (51:30):
It's wild.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
So your boy shows up more. We had the whole
stop and he's in this movie was legitimate.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
Walter Houser is the begitimately the parts he's doing. He
is so funny. We've only seen him for like four
minutes and it's been amazing.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
He is fan fantastic.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
And Kevin James is just lost, like he's really taking
a back seat, hasn't. Why is he in all these
action movies? He can't keep up with his eight ball
in his straight legs. The last one Christina Ricci had
to carry the whole thing, and then this one he
doesn't do ship this We've.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
Seen four scenes in a row where reachers going off
the deep end, and then Kevin James like, hey, could
I talk to you for a second? Four times in
a row. What are we doing?

Speaker 1 (52:24):
Is sometimes he's wearing the glasses and sometimes on the forehead.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Yeah, it's on the forehead.

Speaker 5 (52:31):
So literally, I think those lines have been said like fortunes, Yes,
can't talk wild.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
Yeah it is wild, Yes.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
Because that's all Kevin James is here for. Is he
stumbling bumbly recaps everything that we saw, just in case
you're a moron. Also, this is made for a twelve
year old boy, Like this is just a twelve year
old boy movie. It's very stupid. It doesn't make any sense.
There's Dick Doc and there's also Humper.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
Dating app yeah.

Speaker 5 (53:00):
Which was wild, which which I had to stop and
we had to go back.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
And there's there's some fun psycho stuff like the kids
going to the candy store and just like getting out
of control. But then there's some psycho wild stuff like
the Honda chase where Isla Fisher gets tased by her
own son and.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
She plays it real like she's like she did convulsa.
She did not for comedy in the medium.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
She yeah, spun out. Yeah they should.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
Have died, and I called it. There was a chase
sequence with all the Hondas. But the problem with having
the chase sequence we all Honda odysses is you don't
know which Honda Odyssey is the heroes and which one's
the villains. Even though it was like the one right
in the middle, it was just boring to watch, Like, yeah,

(53:51):
but it was, but they did. I wanted them all
the crash Blues brother style and that didn't happen.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
Yeah, there's still time. But I guess there's.

Speaker 2 (54:00):
Spent some really great robe work that they admiring, you.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
Know what you know? And I'm a I'll say it,
I'm a rookie to the robe world. I should get
on Reddit our robes honestly, is it our OBEs or
is it our robes? Should get all that?

Speaker 2 (54:20):
Is there?

Speaker 3 (54:20):
Any way you can?

Speaker 5 (54:21):
Man, you got to write a book or something, says
rookie to the robe world. Rookie, I am, And it's
your midlife book.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
It is actual comfort. I'm finally getting comfortable. It's really
awesomely took forty years years. It's hard. It's hard. Good
for you, a tough one. Yeah, it's easy. Actually, I
get robes. Oh yeah, they never thought I'd be able

(54:49):
to wear.

Speaker 5 (54:49):
They say that notoriously. Once you have the kid, it's
easy for me.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
It is. That's what they say, is what they It's
insane that in my story now it's easier. It's insane.
Insane speaks to your story. It really speaks to my stories.
Then I just got to Robes, you know. And in
this movie powerful, you know. I think I got the
title of a memoir something to do with Robes. Unrobed Bacon, Unrobert.

Speaker 6 (55:22):
Bacon, Bacon, Robert Bacon, a rookie to the Robes, the.

Speaker 10 (55:34):
Worst and best joke I've ever heard. He's upside natural
or whatever you normal, upside normal, upside and Robert Bacon.

Speaker 3 (55:51):
This movie suffers.

Speaker 1 (55:52):
From we're having way more fun talking about the act.
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (55:58):
You can always tell the how bad the movie is
by how much we go on the bits.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
Yeah, but I'm telling you, look, you guys, we haven't
been talking very long. We don't have much else to say.

Speaker 5 (56:08):
I really like there's some wild Yeah, it's a wild,
unfocused movie.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
I don't know where we're going. There's clones involved.

Speaker 1 (56:16):
Clones. Did I think there was clones when I started this? No?

Speaker 5 (56:19):
No, But you were the first one to call it
it felt something clones, something felt weird?

Speaker 1 (56:24):
CC, what is it? Caleb George called clones clones.

Speaker 3 (56:30):
Caleb calls clones.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
College clones.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
I mean CC stands work CCC clones.

Speaker 5 (56:38):
I need a podcast called Caleb calls clones where I
just watched movies and I stop watching the movie once
I call clones. That's it. It's the whole concept of it.
I called it. Sometimes it takes fifteen minutes a podcast.
I think a clone character a clone.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
Called it done no outro, Yeah, just goes straight into
a me and these commercial truly, Yeah, dude, and then Rake,
what the rake?

Speaker 3 (57:08):
So much money?

Speaker 1 (57:11):
It is a great idea. It's a great idea. Did
anyone have any notes from this? I only had Caleb clothes.
I don't really know what to do with this. This
is really weird. It's a really weird movie. Oh we
said it's edited like a YouTube.

Speaker 5 (57:27):
It is really poorly edited. It's really poorly edited. And
then it is a lot of adr and it's also
so much it's shot in a really youtubey way.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
Yeah, and I don't know if it's there's sometimes there's
like digital punch ins or cuts or we it's just
edited so poorly, and I don't know if it's the
bad editing or if they just did a bad job
of getting coverage and like didn't have a storyboard, or
like everything this movie looks like complete nutter shit. Everything
shot from like the same fucking angle, and everything's flat

(58:00):
and everything's kind of gray, and everything's very Canada.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
They urry Canada, and they also keep reusing the same
sound effects. Can scream and it's a.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
Wilhelm screen, then it would be funny.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
Not the Wilhelm scream. It's like a really high.

Speaker 5 (58:17):
Pitched like and it comes to weird places like when
they when and when they turned into the retirement home
and then the old man fell over and I'm like.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
Who screamed? It was the same screen from when Reacher
goes and beats up the mascots in like the back area.
It's just bizarre they keep using the screen.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
Well, it's because they're being lazy. There's something totally.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
It's just like they're slamming it. They're slamming it wherever
they can and it's like, chill out.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
It's a ship movie. Uh, you know.

Speaker 5 (58:50):
We we were talking about the background when they were
driving and being like that's so Canada. I actually think
that's green screen.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
Now I think more about it.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
Yes, because they keep showing the same Canada Canada. I
still compromise.

Speaker 3 (59:01):
I'm willing to.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
I think so. I think so because it looks exactly
like Canada. But it looks so cheap. But this so cheap,
and sometimes it's very I can't believe it came out
on fucking Amazon Prime. This movie's a piece of shit. Damn.
If they're a ten year old boy, you might like
this movie. I think he can enjoy this movie.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
That's the target dog, and that's tet audience.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
It's made for you, and I hope you enjoy it, buddy. Yeah,
I hope you enjoy it. I hope you enjoy your
soccer practice later. I hope everything's going great for you. Yeah,
you'll enjoy Robes one day.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (59:32):
And also, your father loves you, even if he's unafraid.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
It's just thirty two years from now, you'll enjoy I
love them.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
Yeah. Make sure you're not a clone? Are you a
c J or see something or other? You can say
for a clone something Jeff, clone Jeff.

Speaker 3 (59:50):
We're able to make clones, but we come up with
bad ways.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
And He even says it, like, yeah, his name CIEJ.
Like clones, anybody named CJ is a clone Jaffer, a
clone Joe, You fucking idiot clone James.

Speaker 5 (01:00:07):
Come on, you just found out about clones and you
couldn't put together clone Jeff.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
Yeah, fucking you're ready for to find what JJ means.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
Right, He's not your son, he's your clone.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
Did you ever notice? Why?

Speaker 5 (01:00:23):
Purely because they were like, he's a perfect soldier, but
then he became a security guard who's kind of an idiot.

Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
That kind of full blowing it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
The the logic in this film, it's weird, right, it's weird.

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
You brought up that word logic.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
Like they show the court martial. He's court martialed for
not killing a child, like, but then the army officers like,
I wish I had more of you, exactly, but we
just court.

Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
Marsh and more of you who wouldn't follow it exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
More of you wouldn't murder a child.

Speaker 5 (01:01:00):
His flashback was in Sepia. It was in Sepia, tone.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
It was, and that was the Operation at Y Freedom
exactly at this point, Yeah, what war is it? Yeah?
This is black opped down? What is it that far?
I think it's not too What war could it be?
How old is Reacher? He's forty two. Oh he's my age.
That's Operation I reckon Freedom tone.

Speaker 3 (01:01:27):
Dude, he's about to approach his robe era.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
Oh and he just got introduced on some great ones
he did. There are some like I can't wait to
get the gold one. Oh my god, I just realized. Dude,

Speaker 5 (01:01:59):
They will have the custom Yes, that is probably gonna
be like, yeah, I don't know if I'll make it
through customs.

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):

up the rest of this piece of dog trust, so

(01:04:07):
we get a PLoP card. Unless there's a PLoP card,
which I don't know. I'm predicting there might be another
PLoP card, but I'm predicting that we don't have that
much to talk about at the end of this. Yeah,
it's not that bad so far. I feel like we've got.

Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
Wild I don't know how this is gonna come together.

Speaker 2 (01:04:24):
We've watched way worse.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
Yeah, how is this gonna dovetail?

Speaker 5 (01:04:28):
I have no idea how this is gonna come together exactly.
You got to ask yourself how is this gonna beta?

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
But also, I can't do any more car violence.

Speaker 1 (01:04:40):
There is so much scratuitous it is absurd.

Speaker 5 (01:04:44):
We've spent so much movie, so much movie time in
this minivan.

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
This is why.

Speaker 3 (01:04:49):
Actually, now that you bring this up, this is eye
opening for me.

Speaker 5 (01:04:52):
There is so much time in this fucking mini van. Yes,
they spent half the fucking budget on city in like
a studio in a moon, like a mini van with
it rotating projector screens exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
But then the other half of the time is car
chases with the mini van nearly murdering people or sometimes
actually murdering.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
We don't talk about how we don't we don't talk
about it. We don't talk about how innocent bystanders in
this movie are constantly in danger and peril at children,
at babies, at the chuck e Cheese knockoff. The people
get stabbed, they fights, there's people pushing a baby across,
which is like my number one fear walking around Chicago

(01:05:39):
with my daughter every time I get to an intersection
is oh my god, I'm so scared and this is triggering.
It's so scary, very fun to watch.

Speaker 5 (01:05:47):
Exactly, how dare you use such a baby? Is a
way so cheaply you have to you have to, Brian
de Palma, untouchables, throw that stay slowly.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
Exactly, it's a throwaway. This baby was exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
They after they almost hit the baby with the car,
they hit a child.

Speaker 1 (01:06:09):
You know who. This is funny to a twelve year
old boy. Twelve year old boy finds this hilarious because
they have no concept of death, right, Yeah, they think
that wou'd be funny if the girls lemonade Stan got
run over by take and then the girls got shot
in the face of the take, exactly, write a movie, dad,
all right, and that's how Jeff Bezos made this movie.

Speaker 3 (01:06:31):
Yeah, Bezos and Sanchez's kid.

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
Oh god, that scary.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
Are you guys ready for the last last thirty five
minutes of this? Yes, Slopper, all right, let's go. Let's
do it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:44):
Do you know what your kryptonite is? Felt fish? You
have too much.

Speaker 1 (01:06:51):
Empathy?

Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
C j.

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
Okay, season, you weren't the only soldier to let your
country down.

Speaker 11 (01:07:07):
In the field, soldiers get tired, they get afraid, they
start to have feelings.

Speaker 3 (01:07:17):
Well, I needed to fix that problem.

Speaker 1 (01:07:21):
So when I stumbled upon Simon's.

Speaker 3 (01:07:23):
Genius here genius bitch.

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
Even Simon didn't realize what his technology could create. It
could create the perfect genetic soldier.

Speaker 3 (01:07:35):
All we needed was your superior DNA random drug tests.
You were our ideal candidate, Jeff. So you're telling me
all those little guys out there are going to be.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
Super soldiers each one designed to never get tired. And
now for one final test. Go ahead, CJ, do what
you were trained to do. Sergeant Naming, Thank.

Speaker 3 (01:08:12):
You for your service, CJ.

Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
Listen man, Yeah, you're not a machine. You know how.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
I know that.

Speaker 3 (01:08:32):
Because if we're the same, it means we got the
same heart.

Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
We have finished playdate, and it ends suggesting that it
deserves a sequel, and it ends with a really long
string of outtakes just to pad it just enough to
make it to movie length. I do believe the movie
ends abruptly after Kevin James and Reacher kill a bunch

(01:09:00):
of orphan clone children in a giant building. Don't know
why they did that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:06):
They do This is not a joke. They literally blow
up a building with cloned children inside.

Speaker 5 (01:09:14):
Who did not ask to be Yeah, to be.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
I did not ask to be cloned.

Speaker 3 (01:09:24):
I'm sorry, I can't hear you with your mask on.

Speaker 5 (01:09:27):
To take the mask off, because we didn't have the
budget for actual CGI children.

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
They're like, you know what, yeah, just throw a bunch
of As soon as they started putting masks on, I'm like,
oh wait, do.

Speaker 5 (01:09:39):
Write yourself into a massive issue budgetarily, Mari, can you
just explain what I guess we should get there.

Speaker 2 (01:09:47):
I say, let's just I'll just kind of quickly give
the end of the film. So when we last left off,
we were with Paul Walter Houser and he was like,
explained who cloned.

Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
CJ.

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
We finally see that millionaire. Kevin James sells them out
because they threatened to kill Sarah Chalk, who we never
see again.

Speaker 3 (01:10:14):
Important to the plot.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
They just give a quick clip of her grocery shopping
and that's the last time we see her.

Speaker 1 (01:10:19):
You know what, that makes that kiss even grosser. There
was no reason she never came back. She was never
important to the plus no action elements.

Speaker 5 (01:10:28):
She was only important to the plot in that one moment.
In that moment which ultimately became pointless.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
Right, he sells them out. We finally see the millionaire
the jeff Bezos stand in all tutic place, and he
is very funny. He's one of the few bright parts
of the movie. We find out that uh, what's his
butt was cloned because he was a good soldier, except
he had empathy and they bred that out of him

(01:10:56):
with the clones. Was the mistake they tracked. See, they
take CJ. But we'd track him to this warehouse. We
find out there's more clones. They fight them off, dozens
of them, dozens of them off the there's clearly just
five two women just with this face.

Speaker 1 (01:11:16):
Covering the mask.

Speaker 5 (01:11:18):
They're wearing masks for no reason other than budgetarily, they
just didn't have the ability to do the CG.

Speaker 1 (01:11:24):
I feel it would have been a pain in the ass.
They did. They showed us like, oh, they're twins using
the doubling techniques, went so easy. And then they did
it like with a couple of things. And then they
did some.

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
Serious child throwing.

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
Gods, kids sure beats the ship out of these kids.

Speaker 1 (01:11:41):
Euro beats up children, tries to run down women, destroys lemonade,
steam our.

Speaker 2 (01:11:49):
Here there's shockingly more car violence.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
Oh my god, this be called the Honda Audust.

Speaker 3 (01:12:00):
I'm so tired of being in the minivan.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
And it ends with.

Speaker 2 (01:12:05):
Reacher and CJ. They CJ does have feelings.

Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
They didn't, you know, they didn't get it out and
didn't get it out of it.

Speaker 5 (01:12:12):
They wasn't important, it was it was important.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
And they leave, all four of them leave together and
they blow up.

Speaker 1 (01:12:20):
Kids, blow up children.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
Why with a you know, fun explosion in the background.

Speaker 1 (01:12:25):
The movie ends with the Badass they're walking away from
a fireball scene. It's really stupid.

Speaker 5 (01:12:29):
They kill about roughly fifty children. They go into blooper reel.

Speaker 1 (01:12:34):
Yes, that's what happens.

Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
It's blooper reel. It are laced with like early two thousands.

Speaker 5 (01:12:42):
Like yeah, music video, But it's a blooper reel that
went on too long.

Speaker 2 (01:12:51):
The bloopers weren't funny, they weren't bloopers.

Speaker 5 (01:12:55):
This was not enough of a blooper reel to make
a blooper.

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
Kevin James forgot his lines. That is not a blooper.

Speaker 5 (01:13:03):
And again there was a moment where Alan Reacher where
Reacher was like, my detonator to kill the children didn't work. Yeah,
there was legit like, oh man, were real funny. I
can't get my dick up and my and my detonator
to kill these children?

Speaker 3 (01:13:22):
Is it working?

Speaker 2 (01:13:24):
Also, not only did Sarah Chalk not come back, Oh done?
Why why was she in this?

Speaker 1 (01:13:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
She was part of the mom mafia, has a seizure
in a car and we never see her again.

Speaker 1 (01:13:41):
We thought that was going to be important.

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
It was just part of the car.

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):
Was right about everything, and we were wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
We were so wrong, honestly the most predictable movie I've
watched this year.

Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
Wow, how are you so honed in on this? Were
you expecting an arrow to go into an innis?

Speaker 6 (01:14:02):
That is the most.

Speaker 3 (01:14:06):
Honestly, that is the most profane thing I have seen.

Speaker 1 (01:14:11):
Did you explain that part?

Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
No? I didn't, Sorry so in detail?

Speaker 3 (01:14:15):
Yeah, you left out a pretty big deal.

Speaker 2 (01:14:18):
In the I guess you'd call it the climax.

Speaker 3 (01:14:23):
I'm sorry, I call it the climax.

Speaker 1 (01:14:26):
The climax.

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
They tell c J to kill Reacher Jeff, and he
aims an arrow at him and then winks, turns around
and shoots the arrow directly into Alan Tudic's asshole. And

(01:14:54):
we're not talking like the but she it is direct
booty hole.

Speaker 5 (01:15:01):
Dude hesitated only because there was only one way to
describe it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:07):
It went right in his right there like a bull.
I don't know what we call what we call the
business a brown bully. I don't know how, I don't
know how.

Speaker 3 (01:15:17):
I also say this in his Starfish. I mean, I
don't know what to tell you do?

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
Give it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:26):
Direct hit into the balloon?

Speaker 7 (01:15:28):
Knots?

Speaker 1 (01:15:30):
Did it real good?

Speaker 2 (01:15:34):
It was really I mean we've I think we've all
you know, seen a pratfall of the arrow hit a butt.

Speaker 5 (01:15:44):
Che Yeah, right, well, so how many points are on
this arrow?

Speaker 3 (01:15:47):
It was like six points.

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
There's a lot of sharpness, and there's no he's dead.

Speaker 5 (01:16:00):
The internal damage alone, I'm still laughing it balloon not.

Speaker 1 (01:16:10):
It is still so funny to me.

Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
Oh my god, you don't want to admit that.

Speaker 1 (01:16:19):
We all understand that.

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
It's so funny.

Speaker 1 (01:16:26):
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (01:16:26):
This movie is again one of those movies where it's
so wild and bad that I'm like, I'm not this
is not there's nothing to talk about. No, there's nothing.
It's just awful movie. I Oh, it's really bad.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
We've talked about everything that you need to talk about.
This movie is so lazy. It's so dumb. It's so bad.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
They also had, oh like an after blooper scene that
just advertised totinos tostitos.

Speaker 5 (01:16:58):
Sorry, this is so much ad placement. This is capitalism collapsing. Yes,
it is an Amazon Prime. It is so profoundly and
authentic in every way, Like it's so and it's wildly
frenetic and weird. It feels so yeah, TikTok like YouTube heavy,

(01:17:21):
it's so in cohesive.

Speaker 1 (01:17:25):
And Kevin James disappears, Oh he is gone yea.

Speaker 5 (01:17:30):
Like as far as Kevin James film, this is one
of the worst, But it's also one of the worst
showings of James. I feel like he doesn't really do
much once rich And comes in the picture, Reacher comes
into the picture, like Kevin James is gone, he's overtaken,
so he really becomes the guy that is just slowing

(01:17:51):
everything down again.

Speaker 1 (01:17:52):
And like, for.

Speaker 2 (01:17:59):
I feel like, how did his acting get so much
worse when the hat is on?

Speaker 1 (01:18:07):
Yeah, he can't hat act. You put a hat on
this guy really ways, but the hat is also the crutch.

Speaker 5 (01:18:12):
Well, and here's the deal, And sometimes I feel like
they're getting away with it when they put the glasses.

Speaker 3 (01:18:16):
Right, it's like, hey, that's a you think that's a hat, Yes,
you think that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:22):
You think that's a hat.

Speaker 5 (01:18:23):
That's not a hat, it's a it's a.

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
Comfort it is a comfort blanket.

Speaker 3 (01:18:29):
Yes, it's a blanky. Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 5 (01:18:31):
He can't even when the hats off, He's got to
have the glasses.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
In the post blooper scene, I can't say credits because
we can't even call that I don't know what it is.
The scene he doesn't have the hat or the glasses blanket,
and it's uncomfortable to see him on screen. I agree, Yeah,
I don't know what else say about it, but I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:18:52):
Think there is anything else.

Speaker 2 (01:18:53):
It's just weird. How is he so bad at being
bald when he's been bald for so long and he's
not bad?

Speaker 1 (01:19:00):
Oh? God? Is this just how he looks all the
time though? Like this is his outfit, This is what
we're gonna wear in every fucking movie.

Speaker 5 (01:19:06):
Notes Kevin James is a settling phase.

Speaker 1 (01:19:10):
I feel like we're like a house and the cracks
are showing exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:19:13):
Okay, that's not quite what it was years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:19:18):
Tear this house down exactly?

Speaker 5 (01:19:19):
We might mean rebuilder. Do we just gonna wait this out?

Speaker 1 (01:19:22):
It looks like you got Paul Blart mall cops one
of your foundation pieces that's not gonna hold them. Well,
tell you what? Oh, what's this? Your closets?

Speaker 2 (01:19:32):
All?

Speaker 1 (01:19:33):
Here comes the boom.

Speaker 5 (01:19:35):
I'm hoping you're just starved enough for entertainment that you'll
take it at the lowest price.

Speaker 2 (01:19:39):
Altum is built on a foundation of Blart mall cup too.

Speaker 1 (01:19:46):
That's strong. I didn't want to bring that up. That's leacoling. Yeah, yeah,
well you can't have if you put that next to
something strong, but you put it next to zoo keepers.

Speaker 5 (01:19:56):
I gotta be honest with you as as just being
just to be transparent in terms of how you're how
your purchases this. The the barnyard is in need of replacement.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
Is full of old Yeah, it is full.

Speaker 1 (01:20:13):
To get somebody in here immediately on that slime turney,
it had an expiration date. We didn't know.

Speaker 3 (01:20:20):
We didn't know at this point. It's its own being.

Speaker 1 (01:20:24):
Yeah, it just is what it is, and it's the
attic for some reason, the attic. Yeah, oh my god,
what a piece of fu it was.

Speaker 2 (01:20:34):
It was really bad.

Speaker 1 (01:20:35):
I mean, maybe if you were on a plane or something,
this could pass the time.

Speaker 5 (01:20:40):
I don't even think this is plain worthy. I don't
think they would like.

Speaker 2 (01:20:44):
Needlonipin to calm you down. Maybe watch this. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:20:50):
This wouldn't make this wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (01:20:54):
It's like a mild saidtive right for people with anxiety
about flying, right, But this feels like.

Speaker 5 (01:21:00):
This counteracts the colon up And I want to give
you because it's so frez.

Speaker 3 (01:21:09):
Constantly.

Speaker 1 (01:21:10):
Anytime I see a Honda Odyssey, I'm gonna go little.
I'm gonna be on a lot.

Speaker 5 (01:21:15):
Yeah, I got pt Honda. You know what I'm saying this,
I mean, I got it, dude. I don't want to
see a scene in the Honda Odyssey ever again.

Speaker 3 (01:21:29):
I got it all in one movie. I knocked it out.
I don't want to ever see it again with you.

Speaker 1 (01:21:35):
Hond upside, normal, upside, normal, upside normal. I mean this
movie should have just been called the Honda Odyssey. I mean,
I'm so upset of how much time I spent.

Speaker 6 (01:21:50):
Wait, what is your gauge?

Speaker 3 (01:21:51):
How much time percentage wise? How much time is spent?
If you had to take a guess.

Speaker 1 (01:21:57):
Now, you've just made me do a cut up.

Speaker 2 (01:21:59):
You've see me think of the Odyssey told in a
bunch of Hona like the story of.

Speaker 5 (01:22:05):
The doing the story of the Honestly, that's fantastic.

Speaker 3 (01:22:15):
That's a great idea.

Speaker 5 (01:22:16):
Yes, folding in on capitalism, that's really fine.

Speaker 1 (01:22:22):
Finally, yeah, than and apparently they're setting up for a
play eight to do. You think they filmed them concurrently.
That's why they knew this green lid the moment it drops,
They're like, this is gonna be whole trilogy, or but
it's gonna be quadrilogy. Actually, we'll do another job in
the next year.

Speaker 3 (01:22:43):
The trilogy, exactly to film it back to back.

Speaker 2 (01:22:46):
Those kids are about to hit puberty any second.

Speaker 5 (01:22:48):
A stranger thinks they don't want to, they don't want to.

Speaker 2 (01:22:53):
Exactly, I don't want to range those kids.

Speaker 3 (01:22:56):
You got it. You gotta film it all at once.

Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
Anything else that anybody has to say about this piece
of ground, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:23:05):
Don't watch.

Speaker 3 (01:23:05):
Really not good. It's on the really bad end.

Speaker 7 (01:23:08):
It is.

Speaker 2 (01:23:09):
And I found my rankings.

Speaker 1 (01:23:10):
Oh and I realized when it was a half a
star movie when all the clones wearing masks ran into
an invisible wall and like the computer effects of them
running to the wall looked like an old Goosebumps episode
the BBS Goosebumps.

Speaker 5 (01:23:28):
It's the awful the amount of times I had to
stop and genuinely ask, wait, what is going on? I
actually think I need to understand what's happening because I
don't during this movie was wild or had to be like,
what is going I don't know the context of the situation.

Speaker 1 (01:23:49):
Yeah, so this is definitely a half star for me, Marie,
do you know where you would put play Date?

Speaker 2 (01:23:56):
Yes, so this is in my number fifteen slot. It
is going under Grown Ups two. But above grilled.

Speaker 1 (01:24:09):
Oh yeah, definitely above grilled and.

Speaker 2 (01:24:11):
Grilled is really bad.

Speaker 1 (01:24:14):
Grilled is straight trash like that one's so boring.

Speaker 2 (01:24:18):
Grilled is my second to last worse, same.

Speaker 1 (01:24:20):
Second to last for me? Is this better than Guns Up? Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:24:27):
For me, I think, really, I think Guns Up is better.

Speaker 1 (01:24:30):
You think Guns Up is better? I do.

Speaker 3 (01:24:32):
It's a more cohesive plot line.

Speaker 1 (01:24:34):
Okay, explain a little bit more. You can convince me
to put this below Guns Up.

Speaker 5 (01:24:38):
Well, First of all, I like I like, I like Rereacher,
but he is all over the place. I think Christina
Ricci is more focused and a better actress just in general.
I think also this plot, the plot line to to
Guns Up is way more clear. I understand it a
lot more right, Like the first twenty minutes of play Date.

Speaker 1 (01:25:00):
You don't need the whole job thing.

Speaker 5 (01:25:02):
Quitting is so super I literally could have started with
I lost my job now at home with my kid,
and that's all you need. At least with with uh
with his other fucking film, the Guns Up, you kind
of understand the motivation of the characters, right, it takes

(01:25:23):
times at least for you to understand the family dynamic.
This is so frenetic and so crazy and so unfocused
that I ultimately in the end was like nothing mattered.
Everything was stupid, and like you proved it by punching
on a blooper reel at the end, Like you didn't
even take yourself that seriously that you put a blooper

(01:25:43):
reel on a comedy film, Like I just like and
it's barely and it really is a lot of like, oh,
these are low end bloopers.

Speaker 3 (01:25:52):
So to me, this is just like a way worse film.

Speaker 1 (01:25:55):
So what you just did for me is you moved
guns up up.

Speaker 2 (01:26:00):
Yeah, you know what, I'm sorry, I have to amend
I didn't have guns up in here, and I'm putting
playdate below guns up but above grilled.

Speaker 1 (01:26:07):
Got it, So I'm gonna say I have it above grilled.
So now I'm struggling is it and it's a half
star so it's below guns up? But is it below
home team? I think it's below home team because below
home Team at least was some sort of story and
the whole thing had purpose, even though it's a piece

(01:26:29):
of shit. Yeah, so you know what, I have it
above Grilled below Home Team. It's my third least favorite
Kevin James film. H It's yeah, so nothing changes. My
top is Becky Barnyard, Paul Wall Cup two, and my
bottom three from is Playdate, Grilled and my least favorite

(01:26:49):
true Memoirs of an International Assassin. That one.

Speaker 2 (01:26:52):
We have the exact same bottoms.

Speaker 1 (01:26:54):
Yeah right, same bottoms, the same blue knot at the
end of our Kevin James bloppers, you know what I mean,
right down the old blop it was so good. Oh
my god.

Speaker 3 (01:27:12):
Okay, here's a disgusting list.

Speaker 2 (01:27:15):
Yeah, it's pretty rough.

Speaker 1 (01:27:16):
That's rough. Yeah, it's really You would think that, like
Kevin James had better movies. I know, you know, you'd
think The Hitch is good. But like, honestly, guys, what
if you think it is good, go watch it again.
It's not that good. It's not good. And especially Will
Smith is not aged, you know, right right post slap

(01:27:36):
Remember when when.

Speaker 7 (01:27:39):
Oh boy, itch, when Kevin James cleans up a mustard
stain with coke yet.

Speaker 1 (01:27:49):
A club soda books, Yeah, oh my god, and he's
barely in that movie. That's a Will Smith movie.

Speaker 3 (01:27:59):
Absolutely Will Smith.

Speaker 1 (01:28:01):
We were almost like we we almost didn't put it
on the list, but like it kind of has to
be the first movie. But yeah, it's a real ship list.
I mean, the only list that's worst is so any
other thoughts unplayed it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:21):
It's pretty bad.

Speaker 1 (01:28:22):
It's we're going to be watching j Kelly next, very
excited about that. We'll be watching it a couple of
days after gets released on Netflix, so then it'll be
up probably like the next day or something, so make
sure to say subscribe. And after that comes out, we
are going to rewatch the film that Caleb and I

(01:28:46):
watched that we think Marie should see, and that's Deuce
Deuice Deuce Bigelow European Jigglow.

Speaker 5 (01:28:56):
Appropriately around Christmas time.

Speaker 2 (01:28:58):
Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 1 (01:29:02):
We'll go to Amsterdam, Amsterdam for Christmas. It's gonna be
a lot of fun. Marie, you're going to lose.

Speaker 3 (01:29:08):
Your I'm very excited for you to watch it.

Speaker 1 (01:29:10):
You know what, Marie, I give you. Caleb, you could
agree or disagree. Should we give our unlimited stop cards?

Speaker 3 (01:29:16):
We used ours?

Speaker 1 (01:29:18):
Yeah, I think we used ours. And because we know
what everything's coming.

Speaker 3 (01:29:22):
So we're going to use ours, so I think you should.

Speaker 1 (01:29:25):
I think you should take three. But I think there's
also a rule if we all use a stop card,
then you get another stop card. So I don't know.
I don't want to say anything. Actually, don't listen to
the episode or anything.

Speaker 2 (01:29:36):
I'm not gonna listen to much.

Speaker 1 (01:29:37):

Speaker 3 (01:31:08):
Anything new in your neck of the woods.

Speaker 1 (01:31:10):
Yeah, I'm still working on. So I'm watching every Robin
Williams movie in order of theatrical release, and I'm going
to make a YouTube video series like four videos separated
out like batching the movies, like the beginning, the Golden Era,
the Gamble, and then the finale or whatever. And right

(01:31:34):
now I just finished by Centennial. Man, good that one was.
That was no fun sitting through.

Speaker 3 (01:31:41):
What a great filmography to go through?

Speaker 1 (01:31:43):
Oh yeah, so great. I mean there's so many great films.
The Fisher King never saw that. That's such a fantastic,
beautiful film. Oh yeah, Awakenings never saw that. That's amazing.
What a Dead Poet Society seen, oh really never seen.

Speaker 3 (01:32:01):
I'm so excited to watch it, but I have never
seen it.

Speaker 1 (01:32:03):
It's great goodwill hunting. I have Goodwill Hunting higher. Aladdin's
my number one right now. I love that. It's so good.

Speaker 2 (01:32:13):
It makes it like you can't do Aladdin without.

Speaker 5 (01:32:19):
It's also wildly beautiful.

Speaker 1 (01:32:21):
The drawings are gorgeous. It's so good.

Speaker 5 (01:32:24):
It's all so visually so interesting. I think that's its
underrated element of it.

Speaker 1 (01:32:30):
My top three Aladdin, The Fisher King, Goodwill Hunting one, two, three,
and then like Good Morning Vietnam, The World according to
Garb Awakenings, Missus Doubtfire, Dead Poet Society, The Birdcage, Hook,
Moscow on the Hudson, Being Human, Jumanji, like when you
get down where it's like Toys where it's like a
beautiful film that's deeply, deeply fault flawed. And that's like

(01:32:54):
one of his worst are not as good films like
that's he has such a great filmographer. Yeah, and I
have to the next one is Death to Smoochie. I'm
gonna watch, but yeah, I'm gonna make a YouTube video
on that. So check out my YouTube channel. Chicago Bacon
or go to Chicago bacon dot com subscribe there. I
got a bunch of videos, a bunch of cutups, like
one finding out how much of the movie faris Bueler's

(01:33:17):
Day Off is filmed in Chicago, like the actual locations. Yeah,
so I did. I went through on that. There's a few.
There's a few like is this film here? Kind of
cool fun things and then the Robin Williams will be
a part of that. But anyway, we'll be back with
a bunch more episodes. What do we say, Kevin James
never start, never starts? Is that what it is? Yeah?

(01:33:39):
I believe so, all right, Kevin James.

Speaker 14 (01:33:43):
Never start, Kevin James coming out because the two of
them together on screen is just comedy gold, which you
wouldn't think, but they're so great together.

Speaker 7 (01:33:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:33:57):
I I never met Kevin before, and so the financiers
knew Kevin, they had worked with them before. And you know,
we got Alan and Kevin. I got them on a
zoom together, started talking about character and you know, I mean,
it's a it's an interesting pairing. You know, I know
Alan from comedy Alan. Everyone knows Alan is the serious

(01:34:21):
badass dude right now, and I think I think they're
gonna be blown away by what he can really do.
