Brad and Paul break it down in all of it's too cheesy to even be good terriblemess

Speaker 2 (02:42):
My mind and the Hello everybody at kate l r N.
It's Thursday evening. This is your early introduction to the weekend,
which means this is disasters in the making. How is
everybody doing?

Speaker 3 (02:55):
On?

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Brad Slager getting ready to uh guide you through the debris,
drown back alleys of Hollywood and bad movies. But I'm
not doing it by myself? Is joining me? Always on
this disturbing venture from screen ramp dot com. It's Paul Young.
What's going on, Paul Hey doing?

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Brad? I want to get this thing started by announcing
one of our first advertisers for the night. We have
twenty seven of them. We got managed to pick up
twenty seven advertisers for the show. First one is Spotify.
Welcome to Spotify. You Spotify for all your music and
podcast listening needs. Especially we want to listen to Joe
Rogan or Disasters of the Making. We were on Spotify.

(03:34):
You can find it Spotify for all your music needs.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Do you sound like you've been rehsing this?

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Well? I figured I was watching this movie that we're doing,
and there's twenty seven advertisers in this movie, and I figure,
if they can do it, we can do it. We're
just gonna mention all twenty seven of them tonight. So
that was the first one. Sometime randomly in the next
few minutes, we'll have a second one come up.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yes, this is a this is a monumental effort that
we're taking tonight because it is it is a movie
that's been remade numerous times, which means there was no
reason to do it, which means that was every reason
for Amazon Prime to do it.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
There's certainly no reason to have done it the way
they did it.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
And this time, well, we're going to definitely get into
the in the making aspect of things here today, because
this one is it's a fascinating venture into how you
should not make a movie ever.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Ever.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Basically this was done for the sake of making a movie.
There was no other motivation, Like, there was no demand
for this. Nothing else created this film out of only damn,
we got to do something.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Beckmantov director Beckmantov started this back in twenty twenty, but
that's not who actually directed this film. He was going
to do this. It's almost like he wanted to make
It's like he got a brand new iPhone, right and
a brand new Amazon account, and he's like, Oh, you
know what, I think I can make a movie based
off a classic literature using just iPhones and maybe maybe

(05:21):
never have the actual principles of the film ever together
in the same scene. Ever, We'll just film it separately.
This is the perfect COVID film. We'll make this movie.
Nobody has to be together and they can do We
don't even to hire cameramen. They can do their own
camera work by holding the phone in front of them.
We'll save a ton of money doing it this way.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
And exactly what they did and why they did it
was because it was right in the heart of COVID
And basically they said, we gotta make a movie. And
the prevailing answer to that is no, not like this, No.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
You do not.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
There's all two people in this movie who are ever
together in the same scene, and that's Faith and Mark.
That's it. Nobody else is in the same scene for
the whole movie. Like ever, it's hysterical. And I think
when bech Matov pitched this idea, the producer he pitched
it to said how many whiskeys deep are you? And

(06:21):
he said seventeen? And he said, well, can we make
it twenty seven? And that'd been the number of people
we can get to sponsor this thing, and he said sure.
Is said, I'll tell you what, I'm on board if
you can get Chuck Schumer to lend his name to it. Which,
by the way, Chuck Schumer is listening to this like
by his ex account, did you catch that? Did you see?

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, there's like a number of cameos that appear in
this thing. In avatar form only perplexing as well. All right,
let me just start here. What we're talking about is
War of the Worlds. Yes, the HG. Wells Well property.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Because story this is.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Not anything approaching that. With the lone exception of an
alien invasion taking place, we see alien craft that approximates
those seen in the Tom Cruise Effort from about what
ten fifteen years.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Ago twenty that movie came out five, Yeah, two thousand
and five, Bro and Tom Cruise. Like Paul Rudd has
not changed and he's still running. Some say he's still
running today pretty much.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yes, but this is literally a movie made during COVID.
That was the purpose of this. It was right in
the heart of it was in the fall of twenty twenty.
This is when we completely put two weeks to stop
the spread behind us, and we were in month three
or four. Hollywood was in complete shutdown mode. Everybody was

(07:53):
in panic. What are we going to do? And somebody said, well,
we can have individuals on camera because they're by themselves.
And then somebody snapped their fingers and said, yes, do that,
and so that was the entire motivation for this, that
they can film people by themselves.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
By themselves, but which is It's literally a TikTok film
because it's always a person on the film filming themselves.
I mean ice Cube, he got paid like three to
five million dollars in this movie, by the way, I
am in the long run, we're the wrong way.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
That was it that much?

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yes? Yes, the reported the reported income for him or
you know wage, was three to five million something right there.
I mean you got eva longorian here. These are just
not a short list name of actors in this thing.
The only people I've never seen before were his son, Dave,
Mark and Faith. Everybody else is somebody you've seen doing
something somewhere, and there's no sense of urgency. The only

(08:51):
person who has a sense of urgency for anything is
ice Cube, and it's terrible. This is like that. Are
there yet levels of cringe for him? Easily?

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yes, because the end, I mean basically the acting in
this the emotional range of people in this film can
be summed up in this way. Oh thank god I
got a job.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
That's pretty much the facial reaction you see out of anybody.
It's just like, I'm just working. This is great because
this literally was a COVID film.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
I couldn't watch. I had had watched this thing in
like multiple sittings, like I found myself falling asleep or
just like being like and it was upsetting me. And
I'm just like, this is just this is not good.
Like I once was a judge for the forty eight
Hour Film Festival you ever heard of it? This still
goes on, and they asked me to be a judge

(09:50):
while I was more proactive with screenwrit and I enjoyed
it and it was fun. And some of those movies
were three to five minutes long and I couldn't make
it through them because they were so terrible, because they
made them into forty eight hour Those were better than
this thing, and they have zero budget. There was a
in two thousand and eight, The Asylum, you know, our
good buddies at the Asylum, made a sequel to this

(10:10):
movie called War of the World's The Next Wave. I
would watch that on repeat for a month straight before
I would ever watch this movie again.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
This is this is a fascinating, fascinating piece of cinema.
I think there's no better way to sum up what
we're talking about than this explanation of things. In the
making of the movie. Production lasted for fifteen days.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
They still this in fifteen days, two.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Weeks were spent, and then the post production lasted two years.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
So what I could have made this movie on my
iPhone while we're doing this podcast.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Well, I think that the post production was just all.
Here's the thing. The entire movie takes place on screen.
I don't mean that you're watching a movie on your laptop,
photo or what have you. No, the action takes place
on a screen. We're watching ice Cube work on a
computer terminal, and what happens is on screen graphics, and

(11:17):
we see his face because it's from a webcam, and
then it'll shrink and we see all the other activity
there is. I would dare say ice Cube could be
considered second billing in this because the star of this
is his cursor.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
It's everywhere clip click, clinic clicks, any color clicks.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
What we see is the arrow, and then the camera
will zoom in on what he's clicking on and we
see him typing in passwords and such, and then it'll
zoom back out and there he is, and then a
phone screen will pop up. Hey you're getting a call.
Hey there's a DM over here. Hey you got to
email this. Everything is like that. The entire movie is
like that.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
I will say it was interesting that in this film.
My biggest complaint when I watch movies like Hacker, which
by the way, is awesome, hacked the planet and uh
uh the code or source code. And then there's the
Net with Sandra Bullock, you know back in the day
where they where they put everything onto a floppy disk
and they were able to, you know, hack the entire

(12:15):
world with a floppy disc. Of course, it's everything is
done with the computer, the keyboard. You know, you hear
tappity tabat tabita tabby. Everything they do like I'm going
to open up this file, tapa tabit tabit tabit tabby,
I'm gonna it's it's more realistic that when the cursor
was invented for Windows three point one point one, that
they decided they were going to use that right click click,

(12:35):
cli click click. I will say it's more realistic in
this film that he's clicking on things to open stuff
and write click and bringing up menus and that kind
of stuff. Then he is just like tabit tabit, tab tabit,
tab tabit tabty. Nobody's just everybody types code that way.
Nobody access as their computer that way, everybody's like, hey,
let me open up what's app? By the way, What's

(12:56):
app for all your communication needs? If you don't like
what's that, you can try teams Teams for all your
communication needs. We use teams. You should use teams. Try
teams now, brought to you by Teams. There's so many
app bro, It's it's like they just open stuff up
and then you would see the icon on the screen.

(13:16):
It would say Teams or it would say Spotify, and
it would say what's the app.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
So since you're since you're pimping communication methods, they should
we should really tell them to try freedom chat freedom
chat dot com because that actually is a sponsor.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Oh, freedom chat for all your communication needs. Try freedom
chat today as seen a world of worlds.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Want to talk to your friends about liberty? Freedom chat
is your method.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Freedom chat where you can talk to everybody you would
like to talk to without being hassled. Freedom Chat. God,
budd Bro. They're so that this is it was so
blatantly obvious. You know, we watched Wayne's World, right, Oh
Wayne's World. The world when we watch that and they're
making fun of the product placement by throwing it a

(14:00):
pepsi or you know, holding up a pizza hut and
some Dunkin Donuts. It's laughable because it was so blatantly obvious,
and everybody liked it because it was funny. This is
done without a hint of irony at all. No, you
see that tesla over there, get inside that tesla? Like,
why would you just say get inside that car? It was.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
This entire thing was just it feels like it was
just made out of desperation.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
How many people own AirPods? Everybody in this movie apparently.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, And that's the other thing about this. When you
have a film that's based entirely on a computer screen,
in order for you to have things happen, your star
needs to be able to do anything from that screen. Now,
when I say he can do anything, he literally can.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
Do any anything.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
He could tap into every single camera on the planet.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
He had cambridge.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
He can address anybody's telephone, including a homeless person who's
number they don't know but can access somehow.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
He goes, hey, that's a homeless guy. See if you
can flip the drone over. We'll get to the drone later.
And he's like, it's a homeless guy. He doesn't have
a phone and says it's la everybody has a phone,
or he said, or so everybody's gonna phone.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Well I wanted to get to that screen a little
bit because it was that one sums it up.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Well, I will I will say maybe maybe that was
a very ironic joke that anybody. Maybe it's a higher
level sort of joke, because we have panhandlers here in
Florida and they'll sit on the side of the road
and they'll hold a sign that says Venmo and they'll
put their Venmo number out there. Cash app. I'm like, well,
I mean or something that you gotta bank, get account,

(15:55):
but you ain't. You don't have the ability to go
to work, get out. Here's what's happening. Maybe that's the joke.
Maybe it was a high level joke on their part.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah, it's literally anything and everything could happen here literally,
and so whatever. Whenever they needed something to happen, they
were able to do it remotely because they could because
the plot and the script said so literally that is it.

(16:28):
We can you know, question things like they didn't explore
too much the aspect of government could get into all
your privacy. I mean, they gave it lip service in
a couple of scenes, but that's about it. This is
a level of intrusion I don't even think a most
intent tech movie has explored. And you ever watched the

(16:50):
show The Good Wife, I have not.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Okay, the Julianna, Margaret Margurlli, Alice is in it, and
it's a it's a good show, you know, last for
about four or five seasons. And part of that show
starting like in season three, and it's ongoing through like
near day near to the end of the show, like
it goes across multiple seasons. Is the FBI and the
Secret Service listening in on her and all of her

(17:19):
coworkers and friends on their cell phones, just randomly without warrants,
to try to get information to bring her husband down
for indicting him on certain charges. But it's like a
separate back, like a side thing. It's just always in
the background happening, and they bring it up a couple
of times and it didn't come to a head till end.
That was less intrusive than what they're doing here. They're

(17:40):
literally pulling up cell phones into show and listening to
what everybody's saying and then using that information as a
way to get a warrant or you know, or other
information for an indictment that is not what this dude,
are they really watching my Amazon cart? Because I'm gonna
tell you this right now that they are, I'm gonna
start putting in stuff that it's.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Embarrass Well, this is the other thing too, and I
guess it's served the purpose of making this a little
more watchable. But let's just say you see a random
person on screen and say, hey, I'm gonna hack that
guy's phone. Think about the process involved in it. You know,
you need to triangulate services pinpoint on a map where

(18:17):
it's it's probably gonna take you a good five ten
minutes maybe no here five seconds. If somebody appears on screen,
their life is hacked instantly.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Always, and the information, the level of information that's being
pulled on that person randomly. It's like, did you see
when he was following his daughter. It's out her faith,
he said, she's like watching her. She buys a muffin,
and then he calls her about the muffin. When you
look at the side, it shows, you know, zero threat
level and it says stuff like uh baby mark baby daddy,
Like that's how he's labeled the father of his of

(18:51):
his child is Mark baby Daddy, and the system is
following her around with that label on her.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
He can monitor people's heart rate remotely and instantly. Well,
you've got to calm down your heart rates up to
one twenty.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Because he's using he's hacked her Apple health account. She
must be wearing an Apple an Apple watch. I'm sorry.
By the way, there are zero background actors in this movie,
so it makes it super easy to follow. And like
she's walking through the streets of DC and there's nobody
else around, Like it's morning time. You're telling me that
there's nobody else in their bottom luffing.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
It was like twenty eight days later, complete abandonment in
the city. But this again is all because of COVID.
Now you recall Paul years ago. We were into COVID
years and they were just you know, they had movies
in the bag already, but they couldn't release them because
theaters weren't.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Open, right, Yeah, And.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
One of the first movies to actually get back into
theaters was Russell Crowe's thriller called Unhinged, And we had
Mark Gill, the producer on our show. That's right, fantastic interview.
We wanted fifteen minutes, and this guy gave us like ninety.
He was there the whole time. But one of the
funniest things was we asked him a question. It's like, well,
you know, considering all of this, you know, are you

(20:11):
getting a number of scripts submitted that are COVID related?
And he said, holy shit, if I see one more
COVID script, I am going to burn a building or
something like that. Like he was not just yes, but
I am fed the hell up. This is a COVID script.
This is exactly what he was talking about, and we

(20:34):
see why. So that's the setup. We are watching people
watching screens this entire movie, and I hope here's here
was my favorite part of this. You mentioned that there
was one scene where people were together, and it was
I think three government agents with guns were going into

(20:55):
infiltrate an apartment where a hacker's supposed to be. Right right,
we see him come in the building, and they they
weren't coming in in like formation. They were separated by
six feet.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
The entire all of them are wearing jeans, and she's
she's got her gun in front of her and his.
I wish I could get the scene him take a screenshot.
She's walking in the building, her guns in front of her,
and she's holding her cell phone in her other hand
aimed to her face.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yeah, but she's taking a selfie while doing an infiltration.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
But he is hacking all of the body cams for
all the other unnamed agents that are with her going
into this building. Why isn't she got a body cam on?

Speaker 2 (21:42):
I mean, I just I love you know, you've seen
the scenes where you know, they all come up to
a door and they're about to breach it, right, and
everybody's shoulder to shoulder. Nope, she comes in a couple
of moments later, next guy comes. Maintain six feet. Maintain
six feet.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
And what is he in this movie? Because they say
he's just it looks like he's just a level three
That's what I showed on his access level three security clearance. Uh,
computer operator, slash world hacker. That's he. By the way,
he's the only one in the building. It's it's uh,
he's the only one in the building. What what the heck?

(22:18):
How are you in this building? The early one there?

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yeah, he works for the DHS and has access to.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yes, but still needs tech support. But he still needs
tech support.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
We're talking about ice Cube here playing the character of
Will Radford is his name, who comes in a very
well outfitted room, sits down in front of a computer,
and we have the point of view of the webcam.
Get used to ice Cube staring intently at a screen

(22:58):
with his jaw hanging open that they were going to
see completely all the time on this When he's not
getting angry or saying, oh my god, what is that?
Or yelling at his kids, he spends a significant amount
of work time watching his son and daughter. He's a

(23:19):
stalker of his family when he's on the clock.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
But here's what I don't get is he's doing all this,
but yet the President of the United States and the
Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security, we're
all waiting on him to pull all the credentials necessary
for a warrant to go get this disruptor fella.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Well, that's because they're on the golf course, Poul.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
Yes, e. They're getting ready run a raid, and this
fella is on the golf course. The Secretary of Defense
is on the smoking a cigar. He never leaves. By
the way, what is the timeline for this movie? Because
they show times, right, he says, nine fifteen or nine
twenty three am is when this particular event happens, and
then a little bit later, like it feels like there's
been a worldwide response where they have militarized activity for

(24:07):
everything across the planet, and they're showing people lined up
in the streets to have a parade with tanks, and
they're showing bombers in the air like it feels like
they've been at this battle for weeks or months. And
then it goes to twenty four pm. What am I
to believe this whole thing's happened in a day, Like
he's been stuck in that building.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
I've for only a couple hours. I'm going with that
because I mean I would see a timecode every so often,
but it had no bearing on the plot. It wasn't
like we have to get over there by two pm.
Or the only time you see it is when there's
a bombing run and there was like an eight minute
countdown for that. That was about it. Otherwise, any other

(24:46):
time they put on screen had no bearing on what
we're doing. So there we are.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
Can we just stop with all the alien movies being
beat by a hacker? Virus that somebody just makes up.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Well, apparently you've never heard of the rabbit virus.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
Paul, the rabbit virus. Yeah, rabbit punches right to your face.
Rabbit virus is.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
The most intrusive virus, but it's old school.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
At the same time, what they should have done has
just gotten them to this. Disasters of the Making sponsored
by LimeWire Liwire for all your virus producing needs by Liwire.
If you don't like LimeWire, try Kazah Kaza for all
your virus needs.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
While we're watching him set up, all of a sudden
on screen pops out a hooded figure with a voice
modulator speaking to him in grave intonations about Goliath and
what could happen to Goliath?

Speaker 3 (25:48):
And you know where that comes from, right the Goliath names.
It's from another movie in the World the World series.
There's an animated film in twenty twelve called World of
War World's Goliath. Okay, there's no there's no way that
is not a coincidence.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
So that that is that's an easter egg, is what
you're saying.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
That is an Easter egg for some reason. I bet
you if we were to start, if I was to
do a deep dive on who was involved in that
film and who's involved with this one. Uh, my guess
is that we'd find somebody involved in it, and they
just suggested there's no way. That's there's no way.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Here's my question, though. We're looking at an individual who
works in the highest reaches of government tech, who can do,
as we said, anything on a computer, who's clearly been
hacked and doesn't seem all too bothered by that. So
this hooded figure comes on and starts talking to him,

(26:43):
and you know, what's going on with the government to
so uppressa ed new people are going to pay for
the film, you know that kind of crap. And he's annoyed.
It's like, dude, why are you coming up with me
with all this stuff? Not like how the hell did
you breach our system? We have to shut everything down
in no, he's like upset. He's like, I'm trying to
talk to my kid, get off the screen. That was

(27:05):
the extent of his concern that the government was just hacked, Like, oh,
you hackers. You pissed me off. I'm so sick of
your stuff.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Let me let me rehack you. Hey, let me take
control of your drone And he would right click on
anything that you would say. There was a right click
mouse sub menu for it. I'm gonna I'm gonna commandeer
this drone. He right clicks on drone and goes to
commander drone.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Yeah, I'm just about to get into this because now
for some reason, instantly they have this military force that's
gonna go after the hacker like this had to have
been in place already.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
So no, they didn't have the warrant. They needed the warrant.
Remember he was he was watching his daughter by muffins. Meanwhile,
there was a strike force being put together. Why the
guy why the Secretary of Defense was on the golf
course and the uh the A department had security would
apparently on his treadmill or elliptical because he was drinking
from a water bottle the whole time by himself, by himself.

(28:09):
There's only two people involved in this raid.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
So there's a female military operative I guess soldier. I
don't even know what agency she's with or anything. Not important.
Moving on. Her and two other guys now are going
to infiltrate a building where the hacker's at. This is
how great Will Radford is. He can see any building,
pull it up on screen and instantly see where all

(28:35):
the cameras are located in that building, and they're bright
green and he can click on them and instantly have
the feed like that.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
And there's no way there are cameras in that building.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
No, this place was a hovel. This is like a
borderline condemned place, but it's wired to the teeth with tech.
At the same time, I'm gonna say, maybe fixed the plumbing,
but no, whole place has digital cams in five G
everywhere you go, so you could watch them move every
single quarner of the building. Here's something else that takes place.

Speaker 5 (29:10):
Now.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
You mentioned drones, right, So he'll be on the screen
looking at the building, see the camera locations, and if
a drone flies over ahead, he can click on it
and get the drone feed. We're to believe that they
have dozens of drones just randomly circling Washington, DC.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
All the time.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Just it's like, where are you at, Oh, you're downtown.
Hey on, let me pull up the drone because it's there.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
And we're going to get into a little bit of this.
I mean, yes, there's there are plot point Ellen. This
is going to surprise you. There are plot point elements
in this thing. It don't make sense, I know, because
the drones and the bombers and everything anything in the sky,
it doesn't make any sense on why they would even
be there based on what happens near the end of

(30:02):
the film. This whole thing is the premise is so bad.
Like you've got an at was it eighteen eighty three?
This novel was written eighteen ninety three.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
HG.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Wells's original novel.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Eighteen eighty nine.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
I don't want to say something like eighteen ninety eight.
So you've got a piece of work that was written
in eighteen ninety eight, a piece of science fiction that
was prior to anything technological, that is so good that
Hollywood will not stop trying to adapt it into something
more modern. Yet every time they do, these jackwagons think

(30:43):
that they can write better than HG. Wells and screw
up the storyline. Just just tell the storyline that Wells wrote.
It's perfect the way it is.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
No, it's not, Paul, because they didn't have computer servers
in eighteen ninety eight, so we have to update.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
I mean, it's so good. I wonder, I wonder if
you remember orson Wells's radio broadcast that originally brought the
country to its knees. Right, everybody's every thought. It was
every thought, it was real. It was a broadcast of
war in the world, and everybody was so good that
the world thought it was real. I wonder if they
were trying to recreate that with a modern twist.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Well, somebody in the production tried to justify this by saying,
you know, it's all taking place online now because HG.
Wells wrote about his time and then Orson Wells modified
it and made it for radio. So now we're modifying
it and making it for the internet.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Shut up, shut that's so bad.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
It is such an excuse. It's the COVID. We have
to make a damn movie. That's the inspiration for this film,
and it took. And the part that cracks me up
is they did this on rush during COVID and this
thing has come out five years later. So the rush

(32:08):
was for nothing, and there was no reason to make this,
let alone release it. And yet here we are.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
All you had to do is just wait, just wait.
If you've got a better story to tell, tell a story,
but still don't make it War of the worlds. That
don't ruin it don't blasphem us that name making do
something different?

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Gotta do it?

Speaker 3 (32:31):
Well, got to do it? Was it? Movie forty three?
What was the movie they made during that we talked
about during COVID where they made during COVID and they
kept everybody sequestered and it was terrible. I don't movie
halle Berry in it, But that's that's something different.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
No, that was that was a different one for Yeah, Well,
I don't know. There's so many at the time, I
can't recall offhand, but it was. This one is I
think the quintessential COVID movie. Though every everything about this
just screams made during the shutdown. It is utterly hilarious

(33:10):
that it's this bad and yet here we are, we
have it. So they're going into this uh, we're going
to this building to try to catch Disruptor that's the
name of the hacker that got into Radford's system. And
they bust into the room and it's completely empty except
for a chair with a laptop they've been set up.

(33:36):
So kay, that was a failed mission.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
And that's so stupid, like like he can tell where
everything is, but can't tell that the signals being pinged.
You can tell you can tell that market. You can
hack the cameras in an Amazon van, but you can't
tell that the single signals being pinged off of somebody
else's IP address inside of that game.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Based on his skill set that is displayed throughout this movie,
he should have been able to hack the laptop, should
have been able to hack the camera on the laptop
and see that it's in an abandoned room with nobody
monitoring it. I mean literally hacked a homeless guy's telephone.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
He no, he didn't even do it. He just gave
the access to his daughter so that she could do it.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Yeah. Yeah, but trust me, we're not even scratching the
surface yet on stupid in this movie according to its
own rules.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Well, you know, hackers did that scene a whole lot better.
I don't know if you remember where they're trying to
chase the kids down and they have taken two public
telephones and turned them receiver to receiver to transmitter, and
they've got them taped together and they go like, he's
at this payphone, and they try it's they got Penn
Juliet as the main hacker villain, and he says, they're
at this payphone, and they get there and it's two

(34:51):
pieces together. That's a cool scene. This was not a
cool scene. He could have just done it so much better.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
I think in the entire movie it does not have
a cool scene. I'm just gonna say it.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
You know, it's funny for a movie about film during
COVID and film because of COVID. There's not a single
mask in this movie.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
No, because there's no need for it because everybody is
by themselves.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Now how they cast Ben Aflac his daughter, Jennifer Garner's daughter,
then she could have been under a new mask usage
masks brought to you Spotify.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Well, the failed mission went nowhere, so we have to
introduce our aliens now, and so we get computer animated
meteors streaking down across the country, everywhere across the world
in fact, come in. They're destroying buildings and such. And
people are scrambling on the street making sure their phone

(35:56):
is still on, by the way, because they have to
still talk to Will radd while they're about to die.
Got it, I gotta get out of here. Oh but
I'm not putting my phone down, that's for damn sure.
And this begins an incessant amount of times that ice
cube is watching somebody running and tells them to run, run, run, Also,

(36:24):
run out of there, get out of there. Oh you
mean the building that's collapsing. Thanks well, I wasn't sure
what should I stay here and let it crumble on
top of me or go away from them, go away.
I'm gonna do that then, thank you. That's the part
that drives me batshit in any film is when people
are escaping trauma and people are telling them.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
To escape it, keep it, saving to the trauma, or
get inside of tesla random tesla, that's out of charge.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
I was laughing the other day. The wife had on
what was oh san Andreas. That's why I laughed at
it sometime. But they're on top of Hoover Dam. Earthquake hits.
The people, you know, a on top of the damn
looking at the sites and stuff, and they're like, oh
my god, it is a throng of people running. Paul
Jamonte is in the crowd. He decides to stop and

(37:13):
turn it people and wave at them, go this way.
Keep they're doing it already, Paul, you're doing nothing. I'm
running in a straight line and you're telling me to
keep running in a straight line. That's what you're doing
for mankind here, you fat slab of an idiot. Get
the hell out of the way.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
What they this agent stood still, the rock would have
just punched the earthquake into oblivion. But by the way,
the name of the the name of that movie that
I was thinking of, the bubble. Mmmm, we covered the bubble.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Yes, that's that's what it was. Now I remember, Yeah,
the bubble is better than this somehow. So yeah, we
get ice. Keep telling people to get out of destruction
buildings as fast as they can. Ron get out of
there right now. Okay, I'm going to leave the building
that's burning right now, thank you. So we get a

(38:07):
lot of that. Now. The development is these meteors. We're
actually somehow transport vehicles. We're talking of a meteor let's
say the size of a VW maybe. Well inside of
that is a fifty foot tall robotic mechanical with a

(38:30):
head piece that's the size of a semi truck. These
were all contained within these meteors that hit the earth.
By the way, so in between these building up and
everybody's saying the same thing, Now, what the hell is that?
We also come to learn because we did say that

(38:51):
Eva Longoria is in this she's a NASA scientist.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
And that might be the worst casting since since what's
her name? Was Halle Berry and any Bond film when
she had when she a hacker in a Bond film. No,
she was a hacker. She was a hacker with Hugh Jackman.
That's what it was.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
Oh yeah, that was that. Damn what was that called
with John Travolta.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
She got topless? That was her first. That was Swordfish.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
I knew it was a one word name. I just
couldn't pop it.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
Sword for that was her few. That was her first
topless scene. I remember. I remember then. We're going back
a bit because it's two thousand and one, but when
she was promoting that film, I remember her going on
Oprah and Oprah asking her about it being her first
topless scene, and she was like, yeah, you know, I
wouldn't think I was ever going to do it, and
Oprah's like, girl, you should be doing it, blah blah
blah blah blah. I bet I wish I could find
that clip. And they were all just super excited about

(39:50):
Ulberry being topless.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
She said, I wasn't going to do it, but then
I demanded two hundred and fifty thousand dollars additional and
they paid her.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
Yeah, she had just she would have been more than
that on older fans only fans sponsors of disaster in
the making.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
So avl Longoria is doctor Sandra. Yes, doctor Sandra Salas,
who's Will's friend working at NASA, who monitors the weather.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
And her her uh, her little chat thing always comes
up as like her contact info. It just says Sondra
and NASA. Yes, that's how he's got her her in
his computer.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Avangoria is basically a doctor of clouds, cloud doctor, although
she doesn't ever address weather or anything else, with the
exception of just her first scene, because there's big storms
and lightning and these preceded the arrival of the meteor,
so that was like basically clicks her on the screen

(40:52):
and says, hey, Sondra, what's going on. Excuse me, that's
doctor Sandra. She didn't say that, but it would have
been funny. She's like, no, we're monitoring this too, and okay,
she's a weather doctor.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
Forge and he says, he says, I don't care about
the weather. We watch people, not the weather. We watched people,
not the weather. You know what this movie reminds me
of have you ever been on a Universal Studios ride,
like a Jimmy Fallon ride. This whole thing like the

(41:26):
Fast and Furious ride at Universal, And this whole thing
feels like one of those rides where the person on
the screen as you're going rumbling through on the rails
is talking about, Hey, come with me, we're being followed.
We got to get this secret, top secret piece of
information over to the other side of this ride. I mean,
to this building. Come on, we got to go. We're

(41:46):
being chased by Optimist Prime and the Decepticons. Here we go.
It's the movie feels like that's the way they're talking
to you the whole time, because it's that gorilla style holding.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
I think it was on a Jurassic Park ride with
Ellen DeGeneres when that came up, Like I'm halfway through
the ride and suddenly she's like, hey, guys, did you
see them dinosaurs?

Speaker 3 (42:09):
We need to get away.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
He just took me out of the moment entirely. I'm
buying into your mechanical robot dinosaurs. I'm having fun here.
Let's go with this, Okay. I'm in a lava strewn
landscape and then Ellen degenerous shows up to instruct us
what to do sure.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
Or or I'm on a ride. Here comes Jack Black.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
What well? The so these robot monsters I don't even
know how to describe them. They're not UFOs or anything
because they have forty ft long legs and stuff on them.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
But whatever.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Ice Cube now is trying to monitor his kids to
make sure they're safe. His daughter is a brilliant scientist.
That's gonna come in handy later. She's also she's brilliant. Yeah,
and she's dating a guy that ice Cube doesn't like.
She's having a bridal or sorry, a baby shower that
he's not invited to. This is like deeply important stuff

(43:12):
in the first act.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
Well, I wonder where he's not invited to it, because
he immediately hacks into her computer. He's like, oh, you
changed your password, let me open up. He pulled like
this intrusive father who's just found out that he's not
invited to his own daughter's baby shower. What does he
do instead of call her and say, hey, I didn't
realize blah blah blah. I think it's probably better if
I just hack her laptop at the house. Let me

(43:35):
do that. Oh, she changed her password. Hey, let me
pull out this code generator and create a password. Oh
boom done. Now let me watch her I messages in
real time so he can see her talking to Mark
like what why?

Speaker 2 (43:51):
And her boyfriend understand Now again, she's I don't even
know what her discipline is, but she's supposedly a brilliant scientist,
researcher of some regard card who's engaged to an Amazon
truck driver. Her boyfriend is a delivery driver for Amazon.
Amazon for all your shopping needs, and we can bring

(44:13):
them to you to your door.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
Yeah, and Stamley, this.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Introduction is in an Amazon uniform, shooting upwards so that
the Amazon sign behind him is clear as.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
Day all the time, the whole time. Zero makes zero sense.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
Yeah, she's a she's a biomedical.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
Researcher married or dating an Amazon amaz driver delivery guy. Yeah,
and the cleanest Amazon truck I have ever seen in
my entire life. I mean, everybody gets Amazon delivered to
their house. Sometimes they'll they'll deliver me stuff in box
trucks just like random rider. Yellow box trucks has been
beat all the cracks right, or it'll be in the

(44:55):
back of somebody's like Nissan CenTra over there, we got
a lot.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
Of the there's Mercedes box vans.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
Oh yeah, we get those two.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
First supplemental delivery I've read.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
In the middle of the actual Amazon truck. And I
live like five minutes or ten minutes from an Amazon facility.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
Well, on our property here, we have a hub locker.
So they fill that thing up twice a day minimum,
and so does the post office. Curiously enough, so.

Speaker 3 (45:25):
We're introduced. Did you notice how we're introduced to Mark?
Did you catch that his first introduction when he calls
him to ask him about the baby shower or whatever.
He's having a fake conversation with somebody that's not there
that he's attempting to deliver a box too. He's like,
there's no gym here. I'm looking for, Jim, there's supposed
to be a gym. These guys don't ask who they're
taking this thing and dropping it off to. Has he

(45:46):
never gotten an Amazon delivery for they they yeat that
thing over the fence, on the onto the porch, underneath
the mailbox, into the bushes wherever they can get it.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
They can give two rats asses about the name. It's
all about the number.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
My ring app is constantly pulling. By the way, that's
the one person who didn't sponsor this movie. Who who
you would think would sponsor this movie constantly was Ring
because they could pull up every camera from every ring
all over the world, and you would think that would happen.
But no, even though Prime owns Ring whatever. I get
these ring notifications constantly and it says, hey, did somebody

(46:20):
get my Amazon delivery? They dropped it off at the
wrong house. Well, maybe they weren't asking for Jim. You
gotta go and ask for Jim. That's how it's done.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
It is. Yeah, it's so funny watching him try to
act with somebody who's not there, and he's so bad
at it that they are clearly not there, clearly. And
he's not a good looking guy. I'm not knocking, as
you know, necessarily, but I'm just thinking, she's a biomedical researcher.
What is she doing with a delivery driver who's not hot,

(46:52):
not much of a personality. He's kind of a goofball.
I think he's maybe supposed to be comic relief, but.

Speaker 3 (46:59):
Maybe maybe he knows how to deliver the package. Brad,
if you know what I'm.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Saying, whoa look at Paul with the single on Tundra did.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
Say it maybe maybe he knows how to handle his package,
if you know what I'm gaying.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
I think it's evident that they weren't on screen together,
so we don't have to worry about whether or not
they have true chemistry with each other. So there you go.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
They did make a Schwarmer scene, an Avenger Schwarmer scene
at the end of the film, and they put it
all together, and I'm sure that was tacked on years later,
and they just said.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
I was gonna say that had to have been a
pickup scene when everything was safe.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
I will say, I look, the only part of this
movie that I want to I want for myself is
that when my daughter or my son eventually have their
first kid, I want a Grandpa Shark sweatshirt.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Of course you do. Did you notice a warrior had
a NASA's shark. She did not did She's off and
as it's like, wait, why is she even in there?
And then they did another clip and she's in a
red shirt and said, NASA shark, that's not even the thing.
That's stupid, doesn't even So he's trying to track his

(48:09):
kids down while battling this whole baby shower drama. The
I guess fiance. I'm gonna call him Mark, Amazon guy.
He lets slip that there's a baby shower. Now ice
Cube is upset. So ice Cub goes to social media
and friends Mark so he could start spying on him

(48:30):
online while badgering his daughter about it. And it's like,
aren't you at work? He's on social media, he's stalking
his kids, he's badgering the boyfriend. Okay, so yeah, we
got meteors fallen. He's worried about his daughter and he's

(48:51):
literally monitoring her heart rate because she's pregnant. Now that
he knows this, and he's like, okay, you take a
slow walks alow. Your heart rate is up to one twenty.
At that point, I throw my phone the hell out
of my dad.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
Yeah, take my Apple Watch off. But he's like, hey,
you gotta be careful. Your heart rate is elevated and
it's like one oh two. I'm like, I would love
for my my unhealthy butt's heart rate to be at
one o two resting.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
You know, I'm gonna tell you right now that based
on his level of stalking, he should have known she
was pregnant, because he probably could have at one point said,
you know, I noticed you haven't been menstruating for about
four months.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Have been paying attention. I've been looking to see what
you buy. I have a camera in your closet.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
I mean, he is literally that intrusive in her life
that there's no way he didn't know. It's like, I
notice you're not cycling like he used to. It's been
six weeks. It is that bad. I mean, yikes. And
then his son pops up, and his son is very evasive,

(49:57):
wants nothing to do with that. It's like, quit it, dad, back,
get off my Yeah, you're embarrassing me. He acts like
a twelve year old you're dropping off in middle school.
Stop it, mom, don't kiss me in front of my friends.
But he's like twenty two years old, very bothered by father.
By the way, mom apparently died.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
Yes, and they never say how or why.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
Yeah, we just we see him look for Lauren on
occasion and listening to a playback of a phone message
hun five seconds and he goes, okay.

Speaker 3 (50:31):
And it's a it's a it's a phone, it's a
Facebook message. It's an audio Facebook message. To take out
the trash and to be nice to the kids. And
it's five seconds long, so maybe she she had to
Based on that being the last message, I'm guessing she
died in an accident.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
But after his son tells him, I don't want anything
to do with you, Dad, Later he calls up and
he's like, Dad, Dad, I know what's happening, because now
the entire world has to deal with these unster sleeves
tall robots and people are trying to figure out what
the hell is happening. And then they come to find out, huh,

(51:09):
every one of them has gone to a location that
has a government server.

Speaker 3 (51:15):
A sacred data service. They call them secret Data service.
But then on the news all talks about the secret
data servers.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Well, he's got of his numerous software apps as such,
he could pull up something and it'll tell him that
this is a secret government facility, like the screen graphics
will say that. He's like, wait a second, that's a
secret place as well. And also when they're looking at
random people, literally just a camera can focus on somebody

(51:46):
and you get a full breakdown of their data.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
It's like a bad video game, like you're watching a
bad video game cut scene or you're like in the
middle of Resident Evil, and they like the side characters
are telling you things that just happened that he's just
move into the story.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
It's not even like facial recognition. He can just zoom
in at somebody at a bus depot in a major crowd.
They have a rectangle around them, and if he looks
and clicks on it, all their info is up instantly.
This is their name, this is what they do for
a living. And at the very bottom and red it
always says government threat unknown. So everybody walks around with

(52:23):
some kind of terror threat status attached to them automatically.
I mean, that's damn convenient. It should be the subheading
of this movie.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
The Word of the World. That's convenient.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
So as he's look, he's like, I'm gonna monitor now
on the map where all of these robots are located. Hey,
that's a secret government facility. That's true. What is a
second that's a secret government facility too, according to my screen.
And so he realizes they're going after government servers.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
And why but why Brad, why would they go after
the government servers? By the way, he's given a full
breakdown debrief from his little locked in room to the
President of the United States, and like, supposedly the whole
Joint chiefs are there, but you only ever see the President.
And he's like, he has put together a PowerPoint presentation

(53:27):
that shows all these little red dots converging on multiple
areas across the entire planet in the United States, and
he has determined that they're all head into these Particularly
he's by himself triangulated. There's nobody else in the military
involved in this situation. They're all waiting on Bradford to
give them the information necessary, but he's too busy hacking
his daughter's fridge to put effort.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
He took a break from spying on his kids to
actually help the planet, thankfully, And he calls up his
NASA weather girl, I'm sorry, doctor her solemn and she
went to some building where all these because she's a
weather person, she has to go physically to where the

(54:11):
aliens are attacking. And she touches one box and it's
extremely cold. Still don't know what that was indicating.

Speaker 3 (54:22):
And then why would she's from NASA, why would she
ever want to walk up and touch something that just
fell down from space. I mean, you would assume that
the first emergency personnel would have been there before she
was right.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
And then she's in some building enclosure, phone on her
of course, always taking selfies, and she starts getting attacked
by all these tiny little things and she doesn't know
what to do, but thankfully ice CEB tells her get
the hell out of there. Go. You need to get
out now, run, So she does. She managed, though to

(54:57):
take with her three of these this skule robots in
a glass jar. Conveniently enough, they looked like ticks, yeah, basically,
and they actually look like the little the little creatures
from the Day that the Earth Stood Still, the remake,
you know, I'm talking.

Speaker 3 (55:16):
About what was it Kuthlu or Kulu, the one with
Keanu Reeves.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
Oh that thing. Yeah, I was gonna say maybe the
maybe the spiderbots from the Tom Cruise movie Minority to Report.
It could have been, but these are like, uh, these
are tick sides. They're really really small. So she at
one point contacts ice Cube via of course screams and
she says, here, you gotta watch this. She puts down

(55:45):
a flash card from a I guess a computer or
a camera.

Speaker 3 (55:50):
It looks like a digital camera.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
Yeah, it's like one of those small ones. It's like
about an inch by an inche and a half or something.
She's like, Now, watch takes the little robots, shakes them
on the table, and then they crawl up and they
start touching the tabs with their metallic feelers, and they've
figured out what's going on. Now. The aliens are here

(56:13):
to eat our data, not our data, not collect our information,
not download for any use or such. They're consuming our data.

Speaker 3 (56:28):
But okay, there's so many things wrong with the premise
of this one. Why would you eat everything that was
already produced? Why would you kill off people to keep
from eating stuff. Why would you not just siphon into
it and have an unending supply of milk. Why would
you just go, I'm going to drink all the milk

(56:49):
and this cow's udder, and then I'm going to kill
the cow so it can't produce any more milk. This
doesn't make any sense. It's so dumb feeding. Well, how
do you feed off of ones and zeros? That data
is just electricity stored as ones and zeros, that's all
it is. So you're feeding off electricity, but you're over

(57:11):
there destroying all of our electrical plants. Well, the data
is no good to you that way.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
But the data is like a consumable item. It's not
like they're, you know, tapping into your hard drive and
copying it. They're consuming what's on your hard.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
Drive and going there because it's a data center. Like,
what did they do? Because they show these things come
like landing in the fifties, right, like the fifty three
and stuff like that. And what were they trying to
consume then? Because data was on data tape? Were they
just like eating miles and miles of tape like it
was like bubble tape? Gum it.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
This is War of the World's three point five. This
is an upgrade.

Speaker 3 (57:57):
And why wouldn't they go and attack Google's data cent
there's as much larger than the governments. I'm almost positive
of it.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
Yeah, they'd kill right there. They could suck on that
teat for a good six months and be.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
Do you know how many bitcoin farming systems there are
out there just doing nothing but crunching numbers and producing
data common Wikipedia would be like on the first thing attacked,
the first thing you go after is Wikipedia.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Yeah, but then we wouldn't be able to find out
who's starred in this movie, who played the homeless guy
go to Wikipedia. Oh damn it, they they ate Wikipedia.
This is literally what we're believing in this film.

Speaker 3 (58:40):
So I'm just gonna google it. Who has the largest
data center in the world.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
Now, in the midst of all of this mayhem.

Speaker 3 (58:50):
China Telecom. They didn't attack China at all?

Speaker 2 (58:52):
Why all right?

Speaker 3 (58:54):
China has it's ten point seven million square feet facility.

Speaker 2 (58:59):
I'll tell you why. You want to know why, Paul,
Because when you eat Chinese data, you're hungry again. In hour,
you're hungry again.

Speaker 3 (59:06):
Well done, sir well Son. I'm glad I set you
up for that. I didn't see it. I didn't see
it as I was doing it, but I realized what
was happening.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
It was on the tee and I'm gonna swat that
some bitchit Louisville. You know I'm gonna do it.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
Good job, sir, so does that?

Speaker 2 (59:22):
This is yes, brought to you by Louisville Slugger. You're
bad for use for easy punchlines.

Speaker 3 (59:31):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
His son pops up and it's like, Dad, Dad, I
know what's going on because apparently everybody in the world
can't figure out what's taking place, but his twenty two
year old son seems to know it. He's like, Dad,
I can tell you this is this us to do
with the government, And his dad says, what, I ain't
got time for this, because, after all, he is the
major hacker for the government. Why would his twenty two

(59:55):
year old son know better on what's going on in
the government. But it's one of those movie troops too,
where somebody could easily spit out about five seconds of
information and would completely alter the plotline, so they can't.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
Welcome to every episode of twenty four.

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
Dad, I know what's gonna be. I ain't got time
for this. I got to call somebody, my weather girl
at NASA. No, no, Dad, listen to me. I can
explain this to you later. We'll do this later. Yeah, okay, Hey,
he's got information about the everything you're trying to figure out.

Speaker 3 (01:00:28):
And suddenly now you don't want to listen to him
because you've been doing nothing but spine and listen to
him without him knowing for years, and suddenly when he
wants to actually tell you something in person, you've got
no reason to say he showed. What he should have
done is just typed it in randomly on his computer.
His dad would have just snuck in there and watched
him do it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
I mean, this guy knows every time his kids take
a bowel movement, and now his kid wants to actually
volunteer information. I ain't got type for that. What the
hell's happening anymore?

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
So?

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
Uh yeah, he's talking with a couple of government guys
here and there, and then while they're still in the
midst of trying to figure things out, the hacker disruptor
pops on his screen again, has more dire intonations form,

(01:01:19):
and with everything taking place in all the mayhem and
the world collapsing, ice Cube decides to take time and
try to remodulate the voice on the hacker.

Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
Oh my gosh, I was I wanted to throw everything
around me at my TV watching that scene.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
Cause whatever he needs to do, he's got a software
program to do it. If at one point he hacks
into a government secret mission meeting taking place a Zoom except.

Speaker 3 (01:01:49):
I love this.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
It was it's a classified meeting taking place on Zoom.

Speaker 3 (01:01:56):
Then that time then that happened like this year when
when was it Hegsworth or whatever his name is. Didn
they then they accidentally Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
No, that was what's happened. They had a journalist set
in on the text.

Speaker 3 (01:02:09):
Message that's what it was. Yeah, that happened.

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
But if you're on Zoom, basically that means China's listening.
So the Deepentagon's having a classified intel meeting on Zoom.

Speaker 3 (01:02:21):
Why is the government ever doing anything of that nature
on a publicly accessible form. Should you have like your
own software developers putting something together that can only be
used by you and the and the government, why would
you and it be on like all offline on a close.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
Closed, yeah, closed system that nobody else has access to.
But not in war of the World's pole.

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
So apparently not in real life either, because they're having
what's that conversations? Hey, hey, guys, this is the president here.
If we could just all hop on the slack team
channel real quick, We're going to have a quick, quick
what to do about about all this stuff that's happened
in Seattle and Chicago. We just have quick teams like
it hashtag join us now.

Speaker 6 (01:03:05):
Ding.

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
Hey guys, I'm in Starbucks right now, So if you
want to talk about that bombing mission, then Iran, let's
go for it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:13):
Hey, I know we've been using Skype for the last
six or seven years, it's been very functional. But I
tell you, they're getting ready to treat detransition. So we're
gonna move on over to teams. So we're gonna join
us in a teams meeting because Microsoft is the most
secure process software on the on the planet.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
Could you repeat that classified mission assignment? Because the Wi
Fi in this library is real dodgy and I missed
half of it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:34):
They're using teams in the government bro to talk to people.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
But I love the fact that he hacks into it
because he's got that password generator program and it's not like, Okay,
I'm gonna set this up and it's gonna take me
about eight minutes, no click, copy paste password. In the meeting,
he's in that quickly.

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
I need a level of five password, and tech support
he's he's team's messaging tech support. He goes, I need
a level five password and the guy goes, I got you. Bam.
There you go, what that's not how that works?

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
And tell the president I was watching him play with
himself and oh my, lastly.

Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
Well, my whole favorite part about him contacting tech support
is that the world is melting down around him and
apparently there's some dude making fifteen dollars an hour. She'll
sit in there, answer and tech support calls for random
DHS agents.

Speaker 2 (01:04:32):
Our entire server farm has crashed. Did you try turning
it on and turning it off again?

Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
Have you scanned this to run a d frag on it?

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
But he's he's getting into this, and the hacker comes up,
so he tapes what the hacker said to him and
starts playing with the voice modulator and using slides higher, pitch, lower, pitch,
fasters lower, And at this point I said to myself,
it's gonna be his asshole son, and modulates a little

(01:05:04):
bit more, and all of a sudden, you see ice
Cube slide back in his chair with his hands on
his head, calls his son on the phone, Holy crap,
it's you.

Speaker 3 (01:05:15):
And he stands up with his hands on his head
and disbelieve, Oh my gosh. I don't know if anybody
coached ice Cube on how to react in this movie
at all. Like, I don't even know if there's a director.
I think the director just sat at home and waited
for people to upload the files and then just went, yeah,
I can do something with this. There's no way he

(01:05:36):
was watching in real time, it's like I need you
to respond this way. I need you to respond that way.
Give me more of that, give me more less of this.
There's no way, there's no way the director did anything
in this movie.

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
I think I've figured out what the issue is. And
it's like I actually have liked ice Cube in a
number of movies, Like he was cool in Three Kings,
and I loved him in with the television remake with
the Cops, Oh twenty one Jump Street.

Speaker 3 (01:06:00):
He's good to try. I like him, ride along him
and Kevin Hardy.

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
He's really good when he gets pissed off and raises
his voice, and I mean, I'm on board with him
every time he's doing that. And yeah he's you know,
shouting directions with somebody. It's like he is as comfortable
as can be here. He has to be like quietly intense,
and he's just I don't think he's.

Speaker 3 (01:06:24):
Ever worn glasses in his life, because you keep watching
him push his glasses up on one side, like that's
his tick. I don't think he purposely developed a tick
for this character. I don't think he got deep enough
to go you know what. I think my character would
wear a sweater vest and wear glasses and have a
tick because he pushes them up. I think he just
has never worn glasses and he was they were literally

(01:06:45):
falling down his face because he probably picked them up.
He probably Amazon Prime air them to himself. And he's
just wearing these glasses and had zero idea what to
do with him.

Speaker 2 (01:06:54):
He should have got over like shipping for a pair
of Krokies to put on them so they'd be tight
on his head.

Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
Like, why does he need glasses? Not like not every
computer operator. He uses glasses and it's entirely necessary. It's
not necessary. You could have created that character without glasses on.

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
He's just it when look smarter.

Speaker 3 (01:07:10):
Well that's why Chris Hemsworth wore his And Ghostbusters, which
is so one of my favorite scenes that movie was
absolutely toast. But that scene where he scratches his eye
through his through his glasses and no lens and she says,
do you know have lenses in your glasses? Goes, oh no, yeah,
if it was bothering my vision by light, the way
they look on me and he's.

Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
He was the only thing worthwhile in that film.

Speaker 3 (01:07:34):
Oh my gosh, he's funny in that film.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
Well, we we're getting to so he figures out his son,
and his son then is able to explain to him
what the problem is, and that is the aliens are
going to breach the Goliath server because it's the best
server on the planet and they can't breach it. It's unbreachable,

(01:08:02):
and that's the reason. But the server is so good
that they knew if they released Goliath that it would
attract the aliens. And the guy in the government who
turns out to be bad. Now, who's Clark greg from Superheroes?

(01:08:25):
He was always the you know, the sidekick for the
Avengers and all that.

Speaker 3 (01:08:29):
I like him.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
Yeah, turns out he plays Briggs and he's the director
of Homeland Security basically above ice Cube. He released Goliath
when everybody told him not to because he's like, the
hell would it?

Speaker 3 (01:08:46):
I guess? And he's like forty feet underground through my
dog Bury my dog Barry's bones deeper than forty feet underground, Like,
how did you think that that was sufficient? How deep
is the is uh the air Force base up in
what is it Arizona, Utah?

Speaker 2 (01:09:06):
Were they with the nuclear waste? Yeah that I want
to say is like four miles down And they also
have that one cave. They've just discovered where all those
social security information is on paper.

Speaker 3 (01:09:22):
The Chyenne Mountain complex, but this were located.

Speaker 2 (01:09:30):
But did he ever explain why he released Goliath, Like
because everybody said not to do it. He's like, I'm
going to like all it was like crank swinging on
his part. Yeah, we've got this, We've got to use it.
But the aliens are gonna show up.

Speaker 3 (01:09:49):
Well, yes, because he is uh, he says that it's
he said, what's in people's Amazon charts is more important
than their privacy? Or are people say or something like
that it's more part they dude, how many times do
they say the word Amazon cart five? Or yeah, by
the way, just so you know, the Shyanne Mountain Complex

(01:10:12):
is two thousand feet below solid, solid granite mountain, And
somehow the writers of this thing thought it forty feet
below a building was enough to protect whatever this they
want to do. You've got literal things you can google
out there.

Speaker 2 (01:10:28):
You got to count the building to them that's above ground.
But this is the other thing that completely falls apart
in the film. Now we hear them say you can't
put Goliath out there because it'll attract the aliens. Except
in the first act of the movie when the Aliens
showed up, not a single person knows what the hell

(01:10:49):
is going on?

Speaker 3 (01:10:51):
None they are at what's going down? And he's they've
been around since the fifties, it's been seventy something years.

Speaker 2 (01:10:58):
They said, you can't do it because that'll happen, and
then when that happens, everybody's like, the hell's this?

Speaker 3 (01:11:05):
What's going down? Anyway, I'm gonna be on the golf
course smoking to my cigar. Also, when you see me again,
I'll be driving my car with my AirPods in. I
wanted to punch every single person with an AirPod. I
wanted to hit him so hard their AirPods came out
the other side. Well.

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
Basically, at this point, ice Cube decides he's going to
become a hacker, and Briggs is pissed off at ice Cube,
so he cuts him completely off, not just his access
but his Internet and everything. He's got no access any
longer to anything technological. He's dead in the water. But

(01:11:40):
thank god the hacker comes up and hacks into his system.

Speaker 3 (01:11:44):
Is that something he can do from his elliptical? Like?
Is that just so what you can do? You can
just pull up and say no, and I catch you
off of everything? Is that the way.

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
He called tech support?

Speaker 3 (01:11:56):
He just I needed to turn off all access to.

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
Cube on the third level. Let's go uh, let's go
red on it cut them off of everything.

Speaker 3 (01:12:06):
We know. It's very convenient that and all the photos
that they that disruptor gave him to prove to him
what was going down, the only face that was visible
or not blacked out or blurred out was the directors.
He's at a table full of people, and that's the
one that doesn't get blurred out. That's very convenient.

Speaker 2 (01:12:24):
They did this throughout the entire movie though, too, because
there's like battlefield scenes and the soldiers faces are blurred
for some reason.

Speaker 3 (01:12:32):
Yeah, and all of this is like again, this this
whole thing seems like it's happening over the course of
like six or seven hours.

Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
But clothes, I think they were using either stock footage
or something else where they didn't have permission.

Speaker 3 (01:12:45):
Well, so there's that scene where the Boeing forty seven
crashes at Bagram in Afghanistan, so that was actually real.
That was a real footage. So I guess they got
in a little bit of trouble for using footage of
footage where people died like people died in that accident, right,
And so somebody went in from the visual effects team

(01:13:06):
and recreated that scene in CG on their own time
and then swapped it out, but didn't tell anybody, so
they just left it where it was. They didn't like
go in there and change it, so they got in
trouble for using the footage of people actually dying. Somebody
went in and took out the real plane, swapped it
out with a CG plane, but that left the footage
and they just kept it in the movie home.

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
The only people who lost their lives were NPCs. There
you go. Well, here's another problem that the movie defied
in itself, and that is after eating so much data,
the aliens were basically knocking down everything in the world
as far as grids go, to the extent that planes

(01:13:50):
just arbitrarily started the fall out of the sky. Yeah,
they're eating It doesn't quite work that way because physics
are still in play here.

Speaker 3 (01:13:59):
Guys like he's like there is he's eating all the
GPS data, So the flame can't fly, but the engines
are still running.

Speaker 2 (01:14:08):
Yeah, so wings still work and the pilot still is
up My favorite though is and again ice Cube has
access to anything and everything in half a second, so
he's like, what the hell's going on around the world.
He taps into like battlefield scenes. Instantly we see a
helicopter just start spinning randomly because the computers don't work anymore.

(01:14:29):
And then they cut to a beach and a battleship
is sinking. It's flipping on its side now because the
computer shut off, boats still float. You don't need computers more,
they still work. So this is all taking place, and
the world is falling apart now, and yet somehow everybody's
in America is still on the Internet, despite telling us

(01:14:52):
that nobody can work on servers and computers anymore. That's convenient.
So they figure out what the solution will be this
They have a secret file that explains everything about Goliath,
so ice Cube releases it to piss off Briggs, and

(01:15:12):
then they have because that's not going to bring the
aliens somehow, I guess they figure they're already here. Screw it,
just give them more data. And he now has to
break into Goliath himself with a virus that they can

(01:15:33):
upload into Goliath. So when the aliens breach it they'll
suck the virus up and die. The only thing is
he needs a flash stick.

Speaker 3 (01:15:43):
Well, no, they got to create the virus first, remember,
and yeah, and when they go to create it, he's like,
I'll call some people, and his son goes, no, I
got better people, and he brings all these weird people online, Starfire,
double on the Wheeze, all these nonsysical names that they're
supposed to hear hacker names off like like all that.
That's so unrealistic because every hacker name, everybody knows that

(01:16:04):
you got it to have a good when you've got
to have sixty nine in there, sixty seven, So it's
not gonna be on there for twenty you know, smoking
if you've got them cyber kitty X. There's going to
be all sorts of ridiculous names for hackers. They're gonna
have leak talking there with a bunch of parentheses to
replace the words, and they're the other being an emoji

(01:16:25):
in there somewhere. That's so unrealistic. It's as if they've
never even bothered to do their research.

Speaker 2 (01:16:32):
But then they yeah, they say they have to come
up with this rabbit virus, which is an old school virus.
But that'll upset the new school alien somehow. But they
have to write it. And like, writing a virus is
something you can do in about thirty seconds.

Speaker 3 (01:16:46):
Apparently you just write click on it. Yeah, and you
just go at GPT, write me a virus to take
down the alien mothership?

Speaker 2 (01:16:53):
Can you can you spin up the rabbit virus in
a couple of seconds? Who I gotta did you see already?
Were already just put in chat No I missed a
triple X underscore weed Hunter sixty nine bags. Yeah, so

(01:17:17):
all of this is going out without a hitch, except
for one problem. He doesn't have a flash drive because
they're not allowed in the building.

Speaker 3 (01:17:25):
Apparently people aren't allowed in the building either, because he's
the only one. So you're telling me, in the.

Speaker 2 (01:17:30):
Entirety of the Department of Homeland Security, there's not a
single flash Oh no, they MONTRAI, you can't bring those
into the building. Hell no.

Speaker 3 (01:17:39):
Now, now, let me tell you what this is going
to blow your mind a little bit. And that and
the Good Wife. When I was talking to you about
what was happening to the Good Wife and the Seier server,
the CIA and Central Intelligence stuff, he sneaks a thumb
drive in to his office and the bottom of a
coffee cup because they don't allow thumb drives and into

(01:18:00):
the CIA for that reason.

Speaker 2 (01:18:02):
I understand that concept, yes, and probably on certain levels,
we're gonna tell me you can't go to HR or
payroll and somebody doesn't have one floating room.

Speaker 3 (01:18:14):
I mean sorry, but I mean if it was really
old school, they would have had like a five and
a quarter inch floppy discipn there.

Speaker 2 (01:18:22):
But thankfully ice Cube knows a guy his daughter is
dating somebody who works for Amazon. He can fly the
Amazon drone to the building and bring a flash drive
to him.

Speaker 3 (01:18:39):
Now, the best part about that is he goes, hey,
they've been training on this stuff for months and it's
not live yet. Why do you have it? Why do
they letting you just run around the city with a
drone in a bag mark? But if it's more live,
why are they just letting you drive about with it?
I'm sure the training is in a facility somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:19:00):
He's got the drone and he's got the flash stick.
The only thing is ice Cube has to go on
Amazon and actually order it first. So we watch you
pull up the Amazon screen in order to flash stick,
and now the guy in the truck that already has
it says, oh okay, now I can send it to you.

Speaker 3 (01:19:19):
It's Prime Air and actual thing they're trying to it
is it is an actual thing.

Speaker 2 (01:19:24):
Oh yeah, there's parts of the country. The drone, though,
is not the size of a salad plate like we see.
It's they're pretty monstrous because they can carry huge boxes.
I mean they're sizeable drone, not this little thing. And
it's like, oh okay, here you go.

Speaker 3 (01:19:40):
But apparently it only operates in Lockford, California, and College Station, Texas,
not Washington, DC.

Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
That's where the aggies are.

Speaker 3 (01:19:51):
Oh well, you know what I'm gonna We're gonna try
to Amazon Prime Air something to Aggy and see if
it can make it up up to her remote location.

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
She needs it because she lives in the sticks.

Speaker 3 (01:20:02):
I'm gonna send it. I'm gonna send her like some
a glass face or some glass grapes and a painted stone.

Speaker 2 (01:20:10):
Have it drop it off right on her pool deck
or late deck.

Speaker 3 (01:20:14):
Just just leave it right there. Yeah, that would be awesome.
She knows she would send us a video of that
if we did that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:21):
But here's my other question. You're not allowed to bring
a flashtick into the DHS building, but somehow a drone
can fly in there without a problem.

Speaker 3 (01:20:32):
All the doors are shut. There's not a single again,
there's not a single other person in this entire DHS building,
No one anywhere. There's no alarms going off, there's no agency.
It's DHS just like a off of the weekends as
there's like nobody there. Twenty four to seven. We have
a DHS building down the street from my house. It's

(01:20:52):
across the street from the bank. There's cars there all
the time. I don't know what they do there. There's
cars there all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:20:59):
Actually, got an answer for you.

Speaker 3 (01:21:01):
Oh oh.

Speaker 2 (01:21:02):
During COVID, everybody was working remotely.

Speaker 3 (01:21:06):
Boom except for this except for this guy.

Speaker 2 (01:21:09):
Yes, one person could not, but he's working by himself.
So the six foot distance was maintained. Nobody was at risk.
No mask is needed. You're welcome.

Speaker 3 (01:21:18):
But if that's true, then why is the Secretary of
Defense out golfing?

Speaker 5 (01:21:24):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:21:25):
Well, because the tea box has a six foot circumference
and everybody can just stay outside of it and be safe.

Speaker 3 (01:21:32):
Well, we do know that they were holding parties at
Obama's mansions without without protocol.

Speaker 2 (01:21:39):
Maybe they were at the golf course where the French
laundry was at oo zing. He just got dosome, look.

Speaker 3 (01:21:46):
At that French French laundry. Is my burlesque man.

Speaker 2 (01:21:52):
That's my hacker name.

Speaker 3 (01:21:54):
Hacker name is French blamers.

Speaker 2 (01:21:59):
So, for reasons not fully explained, he has to get
into the server room where Goliath is at and have
a flash stick. So we're watching the drone fly through
the DHS hallways. Ice Cube has left his monitor, but
now coaches his daughter to do this on her phone

(01:22:20):
or computer where she's at, and he could tell her
exactly what she needs to do. So when he gets
to the server room and it has a pass code,
he can tell her just pull up the footage for
the last time somebody got in here and tell me
what the code is. She pulls it up in about
two and a half seconds, just flich rewind hits the
code perfectly because she so.

Speaker 3 (01:22:44):
So there's a there's a couple of things to play here, Brad,
it's a secret, so you're hiding secrets. It's a big
secret room that nobody knows about. That's not you're gonna
tell me. You've got a camera aimed at the keypad I.

Speaker 2 (01:22:56):
Was just gonna make that point.

Speaker 3 (01:22:58):
And it doesn't even have a shroud of even the ATM. Yeah,
I check out at a seven eleven and try to
buy a mountain dew in a Snickers bar. It's got
a shroud to hide my number when I type in
my pin code.

Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
Yes, except now you've told everybody that you go there
and get mountain dew. You're on the grid.

Speaker 3 (01:23:18):
I am on the grid, suckers.

Speaker 2 (01:23:22):
So he gets up there, literally, he races up to
the door and sees the keypad is able to tell
her what to do, how to do it, where to
find it, get it, and he types it in. This
all takes place in about ten seconds, but he needs
the flash drive. Still they're still driving this thing through

(01:23:45):
the hallways of DHS, flying the drone. By the way,
we've already the drone is crashed one time, but thankfully
it fell where the camera was pointing at the homeless guy,
and they were able to get the guy's homeless phone
number type a message to him, Hey, go out in
the street and flip that drone over. And he argues

(01:24:06):
with him and he's like no, he said.

Speaker 3 (01:24:08):
I won't. I can't do it. Can't do it. They're
out there, they're gonna get me. Then they said, I'll
give you free internet for a year.

Speaker 2 (01:24:16):
And he his answer is from the government, Hell, no,
screw you. So they're like, okay, we'll send you an
Amazon card. Then we see on screen they pull up
an Amazon card loaded with one thousand dollars send it
to his phone and he's like, okay, now I'll go
flip that thing over and.

Speaker 3 (01:24:34):
Dude, the internet for a year was like the equivalent
of what I paid like fifty bucks a month. So
here's's six hundred dollars for you.

Speaker 2 (01:24:45):
So and this is where I think the stupidity reaches
its apex. We're flying the drone through the building. On screen,
we see the Internet symbol xt out, meaning there is
no signal. He's still flying though only this time the
screen is read as he's doing it. I guess that's
what happens.

Speaker 3 (01:25:06):
What's the what's the range on those things? Because he's
wearing a mask, but he's got goggles on to be
able to this is Are they using like military styles RF?

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
Sure, let's go with that.

Speaker 3 (01:25:19):
I'm curious.

Speaker 2 (01:25:21):
But he then reaches ice cube and he's like, you
just made it. Thankfully, all right, boom, So he gets
the He just takes an empty flash drive. He hasn't
loaded anything on it.

Speaker 3 (01:25:35):
No, it's her, his daughter is leading the world in
bio organics and cyber tech organics. And remember these things
are like they have blood cells, so they figured that
they're a biotech organism, biocyber organism. And so she has
written this killer DNA code and uploaded the code of

(01:25:58):
the cannibal coust the cannibal code onto the flash drive.

Speaker 2 (01:26:02):
And that I miss her doing this.

Speaker 3 (01:26:04):
No, she does it while she's sitting there with a
piece of rebard her leg. After well, no, she removed
the rebar and Bart came over and taped it up
with a tape gun. Yep, he taped up a wound
with packing tape. Now, Amazon drivers have no need to
carry packing tape because there should not be opening up
our packages to reveal them.

Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
Plus the Amazon packing tape is printed not clear.

Speaker 3 (01:26:31):
Yeah, on purpose.

Speaker 2 (01:26:33):
But so she fed it to him. Then I must
have missed that part because she typed it in.

Speaker 3 (01:26:42):
She typed it all. She's like, she uploaded the code
from her laptop because she never once she got hurt
and the aliens attacked. He drove her to her office
like that. He didn't take the tesla to a hospital.
He took the tesla back to her office.

Speaker 2 (01:26:58):
We hacked to test. By the way, I forgot about that.
She got wounded. The monsters were coming and ice Cube said,
go to that tesla, and he's able to hack it
remotely because sure, of course, again door open. She climbs
in and he programs where to go, and meanwhile he's
adjusting the air conditioner and such from his office. He's

(01:27:20):
doing all of this. This is real life, all right,
So yeah, I missed that part. So he's got the virus.
Now he gets in while the aliens have their tendrils
coming up through the floor and grabbing him, and he's
telling his kids, I loved you, and just manages to
reach out and put the splash drive in. Virus is uploaded,

(01:27:43):
and in about fifteen seconds, every alien spacecraft collapses and dies.

Speaker 3 (01:27:49):
And that's what happened in the two thousand and five movie.
But all they did was like expose them to the air,
and so they didn't have they hadn't been breathing our
air and didn't have our anybodies. They suddenly died as
theyir exposed to air. Air killed them. Oh you know what,
technically air killed them now too, Amazon.

Speaker 2 (01:28:07):
Primary Amazon Air and so and I didn't quite follow
this either. We saw ice Cube die and then he's alive.
Did they ever explain what the hell happened there?

Speaker 3 (01:28:26):
I don't know, like they address it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:30):
There were all these messages he sent to his kids.
If you get this, I loved you and I promise
your mama might take care of you, blah blah blah,
and tear down the daughter's face and the son is
looking perturbed now and then the very next scene, Secretary
of Defense is calling him on the phone. Hey, President's
got a new job for you. Wait a second, hold on,
he die, What the hell what? And he says, thanks, sir,

(01:28:54):
I don't think I can do that. I'm done with
watching people. And he's like, oh really, what does that mean?
Because my new job is watching you? And now we
buy into ice Cube has joined the hacker squad and
is going to monitor the government happy ending.

Speaker 3 (01:29:14):
What the hell he's wearing all of his grandpa's shark
shirts and stuff. I don't know, bro, this whole thing,
it's bad from conception to execution, like across the board
it's just bad.

Speaker 2 (01:29:31):
But here's the thing. I gotta recommend this because this
has to be seen. It is amazing what they did,
how they did it, what they pulled off. Not because
it's good, just everything about this is misbegotten. And they

(01:29:53):
released this on Amazon like this is going to be
a big release, supposedly on Amazon Prime. There was another
they had a summer movie that came out with Idris
Elba and uh John Cena. It was supposed to be
like their big summer blockbuster action movie and people were
like yeah, and same thing with this, Like they were

(01:30:18):
pumping this for about two weeks like major release coming
only on Prime, and then it came out and everybody
was like what in the living hell? And Amazon was like, oh, yeah,
that didn't happen. Like I have to go It only
came out like a month or so ago. I had
to seek this out on Prime to find it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:30:36):
I had to search for it too, Like I was
going through, it's gotta be in the top ten, No
gotta be in features, right, no new releases. Nope, fine,
I'll type it in. They're trying to pretend this didn't happen. Now,
holy crap. But I will say put it on and

(01:30:56):
leave it in the background, because you're not going to
miss anything if you know doing dishes, are laundry or
anything else working what have you? Just if you're so
often look up and you're gonna be like, wait, what
they did? What you didn't miss anything? It is that
screwed up. It's something to behold, all right?

Speaker 3 (01:31:14):
Word she is? You need it? Okay. So if you're
on TikTok and this lady is hysterical. I've never seen
her prior to this, and she doesn't get a lot
of love. But she's very, very funny. Her uh her
user name is at seventy seven cancer Arian, I guess
like the symbol of cancer arian. And she recreates most

(01:31:37):
of the us of this movie dressed up as ice
Cube and she's wearing like a beard and a wig,
and she's doing all the scenes, like all the ridiculous
scenes that he was doing. Bro. It is so funny.
It is so funny. She's so good at it. I
know you're not on TikTok, are you.

Speaker 2 (01:31:54):
No, I'm not, but send me to look maybe they
can pull it up.

Speaker 3 (01:31:58):
Yeah, I'm gonna send it to you. She's she's very funny.

Speaker 2 (01:32:02):
Too cool, well good. I know this made some waves
when people were like, holy crap, like every word this
is that. I think this is in single digits on
Rotten Tomatoes. I think I'm Metacritic. It's only got about
a ten or eleven percent approval, and like the few
that have given it a positive rating were like me,
They were like, yeah, you gotta see this and have

(01:32:24):
some fun with it.

Speaker 3 (01:32:25):
It has a two point five on IMDb. I gave
it a half star on letter on Letterbox. I just
can't with this movie. Like there's some movies I can
get by with, you know, like, Okay, I get it
that the purpose of it was to be bad or
low budget, and that's not They did this on purpose.
This was a purposeful made film. I can't just use

(01:32:47):
it infant that way.

Speaker 2 (01:32:49):
No, this is this is the kind I really chew
into when it's got a decent budget, stars are involved,
effort was made to make this into something, and look
at what we got. This would be the kind of
thing where you open the box from Amazon and then
tape it right back up and send it back.

Speaker 3 (01:33:08):
Try it and I don't even need a refund. Don't
even give me money back on the same.

Speaker 2 (01:33:12):
I don't need to go right back to the UPS
store and here you go return please?

Speaker 3 (01:33:17):
It is that bad?

Speaker 2 (01:33:19):
All right? Well, Paul's got to get out of here,
and I have to refill. I just finished my beer,
so I got to get more. What did you let
people know where they can find more of your stuff? Paul?

Speaker 3 (01:33:30):
Search for Wallace on TikTok. I'm around the reposting carbage
all the time. I hope you like dancing videos and cats.
Thatt'll be on there.

Speaker 2 (01:33:39):
I'm still waiting more of your toilet reviews. I feel bereft.
I need to do.

Speaker 3 (01:33:44):
I need to start a toilet review website, just like
That's what we're talking about today, okay. Perfect.

Speaker 2 (01:34:35):
We've gotta start filtering through some of the horror options
maybe for the coming month, and see what we can
come up with. But we'll uh, we'll dig through that
fetid pumpkin patch and see what we can come up
with next time here on disasters in the making.

Speaker 3 (01:34:59):
Cabs your mine.

Speaker 2 (01:35:02):
It turns girls on that I'm mysterious.

Speaker 6 (01:35:06):
