You guys made it all those who have been following along,
congratulations to you. We are here to pick the grand champion,
Infinite Tech and Supreme Nacho Bill Grande Infinite Winter Chicken Dinner.
(01:17):
Damn it, let's do introductions all around. I'm of course sure,
you're master of the neudiverse, Mike g And let's start
with the ultimate human being yourself to the odin. What's
going on?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Hello? Not much. I'm ready to get the show on
the road. This kick ass Kingsman kickout.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
This kick ass Kingsman cookout is what we're going with.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Kickout. No, that's not what I said. Actually we should
do knockout. Knockout would be better. No knockout knockout.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I don't like any of that, all right, ISO on toots?
Speaking of ISOs, this the man himself. He wants drink.
He wants drink a glass of beer. It's wash once,
did it? What's going on?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Just one? That was not me? So on that note, Yes,
we're here for it. I thought we were calling it
a Vaughan off. Is that we're doing it. Vaughan is
fighting himself, Dark Vaughan versus Light Vaughan. So you know
we are here, and I'm stoked. I'm stoked to see
(02:24):
what happens. I am curious if the Nerdi verse will
come together on this final battle, as we have not
had a consensus yet, so I am curious if this
will be the one.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Haven't been unanimous on any of them, I think.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
No, no, no, no, it's always been one. There's always
been one, so yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
No, wow, maybe this is the one. Maybe it isn't
you know what I mean? I know we all have
our choices locked into our brains today of what we're
gonna choose, and we'll get there at the end of
all things. But for now, we're gonna go over how
we all got here, right, eight randomly selected graphic novel
(03:11):
films picked by our precious Overlord AI herself, and we've
come here with much deliberation, many arguments, many would have
could have should as. But this is where we land.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Did you guys write yours down yet? Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Good?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Did you write yours down? Locked in does not mean
you wrote it down?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Mike, this is my phone. I'm gonna put it on
my phone.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
No, no, no, you write it down on paper.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
No, that's digital's unreliable.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Why do you act like you can't delete it and
edit it? You forget or what? Yes, we have to
write it down, fink.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Or something of equal or lesser value.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
We haven't changed it in like the eight weeks we've
been doing.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I haven't had paper in eight weeks.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
But yet you've been writing it down.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I've been taking it down on my phone.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
No, we have actual evidence, video evidence that you've written
it down.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
That one. Good time. I did write it down.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Time.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Can I write it on my skin with that count?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah? I mean yeah, who cares? I mean at this point.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
At this stage, like a pen and a piece of paper. Bro,
all right, it's all right, man, it's your story.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Write it on your very pale skin.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Well, we go in there too. We're already fighting, are
already fighting.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Hey, it's summertime. I'm super darker than you right now,
I'm winning.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Wait till winter comes. Yeah, you're right, shout out the winter.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh he's a pastor of his own church. Now it
turns out.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
He's the master of his domain.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, he sure is good.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Good for winter, doing the Lord's work quite literally, quite literally.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
All Right, I got something. I'm gonna write it on
the back of this.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Oh yeah, integrity I have.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I have zero integrity, that's true. Learn it, learn it
written down. I'm not going to show you.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Okay, did you did you change your mind as you
were writing it up? I know you, I know you.
He's like, I.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Didn't want to put it down, so depending on how
I feel after everything. I'm gonna flip the side. You
can't beat me, you can't can't trick the trickster, you
can't riddle the riddler. Oh man, we're here. We're at
Kingsman versus kick Ass. Knockout is what we're calling it,
(05:52):
rough life. How is everybody feeling, Toot, I'm gonna I'm
gonna ask Toots, this is your first random select. You're
at the final round. How was this experience for you?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
It was so much fun. It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
We watched movies that I would have never sat down
and taken the time to watch or rewatch otherwise.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Coincidentally, every single movie that was paired up was somehow related,
which was really weird considering that all of this was random. Yeah,
the entire experience was really was pretty good, very very fun.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I'm very happy to hear that this is just something
we don't do often. I watch will tell you we
do them every once in a while, and I wanted
to start doing this annually. Once a year, maybe during
the summertime, we'll do a random select and that'll be
like our event, our Crisis of Infinite Earths, as it
were our civil war and we get to just kind
(06:49):
of have some fun with the audience and with ourselves
choosing these films. Wash, what are your thoughts about this year?
It's random select a.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Good random select man ID Like Toudy said, there's a
bunch of films in here I never would have watched,
like flat out full stop, and like there's some bangers
in here. So overall, like this has not been a
bad experience, and I don't think I have regretted any
of my time. It's this random select where I know
(07:21):
There's been one or two random selects where I've been like, eh,
that was a rough one, but we got the you
know what I mean. But no, this has been This
has been pretty good, very good.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
And I will concur with what you said, like sometimes
there's always that one film in a random select, you like,
I have no desire to watch this. How did this
make it? I'm forced at against my will to watch
this movie and you end up loving it or hating
it or whatever. This random select had nothing but bangers
in my opinion, Old boy, going back to pussuperbly, you
(07:54):
know what I'm saying, Astro boy, which is which is
some would say should be in this final round, but
this is where we're at, you know what I mean,
And this is the survival of the fittest. So I think,
with enough preamble, one last time, you guys ready to
dig into these movies a little bit before we make
our choices.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yept's do it.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Let's do it. Are you ready to.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Watch Teenage Ninja Turtles again?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You're so lucky because watch it. I got a feeling
watch was on the cuts.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I am so excited for my rapid fire. I'm very
excited for it. So go on.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
We have festivities here, we have fun episode. Are we
gonna do that before we start doing our final choices?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Uh? Yeah we can. That'd be fun.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Okay, we'll do it. We'll do it on that screen.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
They only have like five or six of them, so
it should go pretty quick. But I think it'll be fun.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Let's do final thoughts on Kingsmen, Like, this is a
movie that I didn't think was going to go long
in this random because of the competition. It was against
you know what I mean, didn't go up against Scott
Pilgrim versus the World if I'm if.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I'm Kinsman, was against was against.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Astro Boy, I mean yeah, and that was a hard
choice right there. This one made it. This is like
my underdog. Honestly, I think that this is film is
for all his faults, so much fun. Like I recollected
in my in our last episode watch it that I
(09:32):
just found myself watching this one day and it which
is on that doesn't happen for me often, Like I
didn't go searching for it. I was just flipping the
channels and it was on. From the cast to the
to the music is amazing, to the just overall action
and never lets you breathe. So my final thoughts is
I love this film. This is when I can put
(09:54):
on it any time, and it's a shame that the
franchise kind of finished out its tra is done. I
hope they we make it one day with a fresh
new eye. But that's just my two cents. On Kingsman, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I hope they don't remake it again. It doesn't need
to be remade.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Would you like to see a Kingsman a another because
you know what I mean, The Kingsman, the Law, the
Lore expanded.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Ay yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not a remake though, I
would not want to see these movies. Movies remade by
any by any stretch of the imagination.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Well, that's a rapid fire question spoiler alert, so you know,
get ready now that it's been spoiled. But yes, as
far as the remake goes, I I don't know, but
i'd say as far as Kingsman goes. I spent a
lot of time thinking about this movie over the course
of the last week and a half, just because it
(10:51):
is in the finals. And as I said, when we
started this movie had a lot of hype. I stayed
away from it simply because I didn't think it could
live up to the hype that I was hearing about it.
And so for me, and look, I don't want to
call it a simple movie, but you know what I mean,
(11:11):
it's not a big like thinker. You're not You're not
walking around going man, that that scene or how how
do we get here? You know, it's like a fun,
popcorny movie. And this movie has a surprisingly surprisingly amount
of depth that is brought to it from Colin Firth
(11:33):
and some of the other characters that are within the movie.
I'm not gonna say Eggsy's one of my favorite ones
because he's not necessarily one of my favorite ones because
they didn't really expand on him enough to be but
when you look at Colin Firth, the Operator, even Samuel L.
Jackson's character, who I still don't like that much. But
(11:57):
there's a lot of depth to the story that's being
told here, and that's something that I kind of have
an appreciation for that I didn't think was it gonna
be able to live up to the hype. You know,
if someone told you, hey, James Bond is amazing and
you're like, yeah, it's a fifty year history, You're like,
all right, and then you go watch yourself from James Bond,
(12:18):
you're like, oh shit, this ain't bad. Or you could
get one of the bad ones and go, eh, what
are you all so excited about? Kingsman did, And I
guess that's my point. Kingsman didn't leave that taste in
my mouth where it most certainly could have it most certainly.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Could have fell short. Absolutely what you thought.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
You know me, I'm kind of I'm a hardcore. So
it's like, if if this little thing is off, I'm like, yeah,
the whole thing's a mess, so don't Yeah, so for
it to workout, it's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, cool beads. What's your thinking too.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
It's a fun movie. I'm not.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
I haven't changed my mind about it. It's a very
good movie, very fun movie. Brian said that there isn't
uh like I mean, there's there's I guess he said,
there's depth, but it's not. It's not a it's not
a thinker's movie.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I I I don't know. It depends.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I only I was only turned on by by the
CIA aspect of it. And uh, you know the ways
that they go about seeking spies and agents and the
way they go about forcing people in a sense to
do the greasy deeds that they want done. Uh, that
(13:37):
that part of it I very much fun interesting. I
think there's a lot of truth to a lot of
the things Hollywood puts out, be it in a comic
comic form or in a comedy action form.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
The way this movie is done.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Uh, this movie is hilarious more than anything. So if
you're not paying paying too much attention to the conspiracies
involved in all of it, it's just a fun, fun movie.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
And it is.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
It is just a fun, fun movie. But again, crazy
Tinfoil Hatter like myself enjoyed it for different reasons. And
in that and in that sense. Yeah, I think it
was kind of a thinking man's movie, not on the surface,
but you can say that about any movie, just about
especially the ones that they've been pushing out recently. They
have answers in all kinds of movies that you're not
looking for, questions that you want answered all of a sudden,
(14:23):
and you don't really have any idea idea why this
is one of them. And this was like not necessarily
the beginning, but part of what was the beginning of
movies that make you question and wonder.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
So, yeah, it's good movie.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
It's fun movie, absolutely, and I definitely want to kind
of clarify like not necessarily remake same character, same character,
but like you were saying, Toots and Wash like really
just kind of an expansion of the lore kind of
like what was going on in the seventies with the Kingsmen,
you know what I mean? Is it a whole new
cast of characters, right, what was going on in the
(14:59):
thirties twenties, Even in the future, like a future version
of the Kingsman like Batman Beyond or something like that.
I think that would be interesting. It's just what are
the Kingsmen doing now? You know what I mean almost
like and it has like that timeless kind of availability,
like the Predator.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Definitely has a timeless capability to.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Where you can you could drop any time in American
history or whatever history, English UK history, and there's probably
the Kingman running around doing dirt, you know what I mean,
recruiting people going on black ops. That's that's interesting. I
think that's and I think that's what The King's Man
that the final movie was about, was the birth of
the Kingsman, which I think takes place like in World
(15:39):
War One, fighting rasp and stuff, cool stuff.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
You know, how do we know Indiana Jones wasn't recruited
by the Kingsmen?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
We don't know that.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Say oh, let's do that a man, Amen, man, Let's
let's do it. Harrison's third go. But you know what I.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Mean, you trigger something to my brain. You know. It's like,
did you know that during World War Two Captain America
team dealt with Wolverine to fight the Red Skull. Oh yeah,
Canada was involved in that, So technically Captain America knew
who Wolverine was before Wolverine knew who Wolverine was.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
That's that's can though, isn't it like it's.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
No, it's it's part of the Marvel lore. That's interesting, right.
It makes me think of that Iniana Jones. Uh freaking
you know what I'm saying, like, who else could you
throw in that that may have run may have run
parallel to the Kingsman freaking maybe even real James Bond,
you know what I mean? Like why not have a crossover?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Right, Ethan Crane, the League of Extraordinary Gentleman. You know
what I'm saying, with like doctor Jackel and misst the
world has got to get weird.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
You know, there's a lot of different and you know what,
I think a Kiksman at least for this first one.
It's it's flighty enough that it there's room for some
silliness in it if you want to do that to
where it it still comes off as, oh, well this
is still kind of cool stylish and I like it. Yeah. Absolutely.
(17:15):
Is it a Rainstorm Clean Energy? No, okay, I the Purple.
I thought I had you. I thought I had you
Rainstorm Clean Energy.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
It's yeah, it's a it's a raspberry nectarine delicious.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
They're not bad. Yeah, waters are not bad.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Waterloo, Waterloo, Waterlo.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Sorry, this is not a commercial, but if you want
to sponsor rest Waterloo, hashtag amblet and follow find your
boy make us all rich please. Yeah. Any final thoughts
on Kingsman, I just love I love everything about this one.
I didn't realize I like this as much as I did.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Well, I had to put you know, as we're comparing
these two movies, I had to start like checking boxes
on one half. As I said, there's no exact science
to how these things are picked between the participants of
random Select, so it's like for me, I had to
check boxes, and this checked a surprisingly number of boxes,
(18:18):
even against kick Ass, which we're gonna get to in
a moment. But even as I like begrudgingly had to admit, like, nah, dude,
this is kind of a dope movie, question mark. I
just kind of wish there was a tad more there.
And when you really get down to it, it's like
(18:40):
this thing's like it's pretty fed, man, It's pretty thin,
just this movie, and you know, when you get the
kick Ass. This was to two hours, nine minutes, And
I think about kick Ass and the third thing, and
I think to myself, I actually thought Cass was a
longer movie until I just looked, and I'm like, no,
(19:04):
Kingsman is the longer movie doesn't doesn't necessarily feel that way.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
So there you go. I feel it. I feel it.
Any final thoughts, tuts, No, sweet Kingsman, Ladies and gentlemen.
In one corner and in the other corner, we have
the team Matthew Vaughan. We have Matthew Vaughan versus Matthew
Vaughan with the chair. Matthew vaugh It's Matthew.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Von up to the mask.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Now is that possible?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
He got the money in the bank. Suit Casey's coming in?
Oh no, he takes off the baskets. Just Matthew Vaughan
with a scar. It's freaking shoutouts Compton Media dog. I'm
sure they would get a kick out of all that.
Speaking of kicks, we're talking about ass kick. We're talking
(19:59):
about kick ass. This movie was a surprise to a
locked and especially a surprise to me. I love that.
As to so eloquently put, it is m O T
and coded. This is what we all would do. This
is what we all strive to do as masters of
the Nerdi verse. You know, just just try to be
something above and beyond. And some take it to the
(20:23):
next extreme. You know, the kick ass took it to
that extreme. He got his ass kicked a couple of
times before he became godd. I'm not gonna say much
on this one because I feel like this movie really
speaks for itself. Are you frozen? Are you listening? Oh
you're very still? That was I thought you were frozen.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
No, I'm I'm I'm trying to bring up the brightness
on my on the laptop.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Okay, you were tripping me out because you were just like.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I was like, who, You're good, You're good. I love
Nicholas Cage in this movie. I've been watching all the
ghost Rider movies over the weekend and just how stupid
Nicholas Cage is.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
I'm knocking at the.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Sorry about that, guys. I don't I want to blow
out anybody's but Nicholas Cage is amazing in this film
as Big Daddy. Of course, hit Girl is a star
of the show. I think she just steals everything. And
she's in, of course, the titular kick ass who actually
has meat on his bones. Pause, And I think this
character does have amount of character growth that you see
(21:38):
throughout this journey and I love the kind of social
commentary that it helps create. I love that this is
the very first beginning of the If it's not on camera,
it didn't happen. Generation I love seeing him actually get
superpowers as he goes through this film by like nerve damage,
you know, he becomes got like a And I love
(22:02):
the villains. I love Mark Mark Strong, who was also
in Kingsman. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Strong, that's his name, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
You know what I'm saying. So I'm a big fan
of this movie. I love it's heart, I love its journey,
and I'm happy that he got a sequel. Who wants
to go up and just kind of give their thoughts
on kick Ass?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
All right, I'll go, okay, go ahead, Lady Odin, You're fine,
all right, fair enough. I think kick Ass, for what
it is, is a completely absurd movie that probably shouldn't
have worked, you know what I mean, Like it shouldn't
be as good as it turned out to be. It
probably should have been left like, yeah, this is kind
(22:46):
of dumb and not gonna work. And kick Ass managed
to bring fun laughter. I actually got more laughs out
of this than Kingsmen. And you know, for me laughs
is hard in any general movie. But Big Daddy, uh
Nick Cage. I kept putting him up against Colin Firth
(23:07):
in my head, and Colin Firth wins over over here
over Big Daddy by the smallest margin, just because he's
freaking cool man. Colin Firth nails it. But then kick
Ass comes along and brings in Chloe Grace Moretz with
hit Girl, and she kind of beats out Eggsy and
(23:30):
what Tarn Tarren, what Han Solo's over there doing? So
for me it really became like, man, these are two
really good movies. Matthew, You're you're literally fighting Matthew Vaughn
in your head, you know what I mean. He's like
writing the same thing kind of in a different way
(23:52):
over here for a different type of movie. And kick
Ass is so much fun and it probably shouldn't be.
And I still go back to the kids in the
car jamming out, which I think Lady Odin hates that scene,
or Mike, it was one of the two of you
that was dead did not like that scene. And I literally,
for like two three weeks now, like I'm in my head,
(24:15):
I can see myself jamming out like in the car
with my Costu bo like, yeah, man, this is cool.
So uh. I think kick Ass brings a lot of
fun that's completely unexpected and there was no hype for
me to live up to. But upon a rewatch of
a movie that I hadn't seen in you know, fifteen
(24:36):
freaking years, for it to hold up, that's pretty impressive.
In my end. We can get into TM and T
if Lady Odin would like, but you know, it's been
a while, so for it to hold up, it's like, yeah,
that's pretty good. Cause most things don't hold up. Most
things you get to a stage with and you look
(24:58):
at it and you go, yeah, I don't want to
see any of this and we're kind of done with
it no matter what it is, you know. But there
are some things like The Godfather Part two that no
matter what age you are, you're like, oh, damn, that's
kind of a cool movie once once you get through
the whole thing, like damn, so.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Very cool. All right, cool, what are your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
To I found kick Ass to be extremely unique.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
You know, I'm not going to regurgitate all the all
the bullshit I already said, that's already been said.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
It.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
There'n't no reason to say it again, but kick Ass
is absolutely unique.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
It's it's a first of its kind.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
It introduced new actors in that time. It also reintroduced
the actor that played mclebbn. I think to me he
was the worst part of kick Ass in that there
was a lot of cringe involved with that character.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I think it was done on purpose that way.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Uh. I don't think it was bad acting. I think
it was actually done on purpose for him to play
a try hard the way he was playing a try hard,
which was a little off putting.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
But you know, that's the main reason why I don't
like the scene in the car where they're singing. It's
it's a cool bonding moment, I guess for two for
two young teenagers. But then you know when he brings
out the joint and he's like, yeah, I do this
when I want to take the edge off.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
It's like, come on, kid like.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Kids kids that act that way in real life. And
there we've we've all known one or two are weird.
I don't want to be around you, weirdo. Stop trying
so hard, you know what I mean? And that doesn't
make anybody cooler than anybody else. It just means it's
just like, yeah, we're not We're not there, buddy, We're not.
Like if you're gonna spark a j, spark a jay
and shut the fuck up. Like nobody needs that extra
So that that's the whole reason why I didn't like
(26:47):
that scene. But yeah, like I said, it, did this
movie erase the type cast of McLevin. If you ask me,
nobody looks at him anymore and thinks, oh, yeah, McLevin.
You know what I mean, Nobody looks at him and
thinks I forgot his name and kick ass Red Hawk or.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Whatever, red miss uh, red.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Mist Fine, nobody, nobody, Uh, He's not the mclovin anymore. Basically,
I mean he then he moved on to this is
the end, so it's not like he he didn't do
other things. I think the try hard part of this
for this person is more of the fact that he
wasn't trying to be type cast as mcleven. I think
this role was him begging Hollywood not to typecast him,
(27:31):
which might be part of why it was played the
way it was too.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
But the last thing I'll say is.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
It's a first it's a full circle movie. It has
a great beginning, It has a great middle, and it
has a great.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Ending, and it ends. It ends. It actually ends.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
You can't have you can't continue the story because Big
Daddy dies. So this story with his dynamic trio, it's over.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
It's done. So the movie ends.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Like it's it's it's it's a brilliant fantasy world and
it's sowas Kingsman, mind you, if if we want to,
if we want to do commonalities, they're both superhero fantasy
world movies. And Kingsman, you're a superhero but you're also
a gentleman. And kick Ass you are a ruthless kick ass.
So yeah, I mean and that they are. They are
kind of one and the same, like you, Like Brian said,
(28:17):
Matthew Vaughn was making the same movie in different ways.
I just think kick Ass has a more completed version
of itself.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
To say the least.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
I hadn't considered it, but you know what, I would
watch a Big Daddy prequel movie with him and the
other cop, like like when everything goes totally bad, and
I would watch that. I hadn't considered it, but it's like, yeah,
Matthew Vaughan, come back and do that, Nick Cage.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
It has to be comic book, comic books about it, right.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Like I think, so, I'm not the kick asthologist. I've read,
like I used to read a lot of it, didn't
you read them? Yeah? I read them.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
But master of the Universe.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Part of the title, you don't know everything.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Superman isn't super.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Superman according to according to the critics. We'll talk about
that on Friday. But yeah, yeah, I know, it's just
you know, but I think there is there's a lot
of lore when it comes to Big Daddy and hit Girl,
and in the comics it takes a little bit longer
for him to kick to kick ass for him to
(29:29):
kick off. So I think there's a lot of backs.
If you want more backstory, it's always go to the
source material. You're gonna find your, your, your, your, your,
your hit. But I could see this being kind of
continued as a graphic as like an anime animation, like
a Netflix animation or something like that. Bring back all
the original voice actors, kind of like what they did
(29:50):
with with Scott Pilgrim. I think they would be down,
you know what I mean, because there's still a lot
of book that to tell, but as isolated in a
white room film this does have a very strong beginning middle,
and he is now a hero and this is now
his city, you know what I mean. Very Spider Man,
(30:11):
you know what I mean in that sense, or go
from nerd zero to hero, you know what I mean.
And I think that's aspiring for a lot of nerds
out there who are like, can I can I get
the girl? If you apply yourself, Maybe maybe not that girl,
but you'll be able to get someone that you that
bets better suits you. It's kind of like power fantasy, right,
let's let's uh, let's be the best we can be.
(30:34):
And I like that about kick Ass. It helps you
aspire to be more, you know what I mean. Whatever
that means for you, you know what I'm saying, and
like what you're saying too. It's about I never thought
of Kingsman as a superhero movie, but it really is.
There's some fantastical stuff going on in that movie. But
you're just in the guise of a secret agent versus
wearing a Rather than wearing a mask and a cape,
(30:56):
you're wearing a ox first, not brokes, right, you know.
To mean, it's another form of fantasy that can be
just as fantastical as Kick ass Is, and I like
that juxtaposition between these two films, and I think for
this being the final round again Vaughn versus Vaughn's almost
like we made this up. It's almost like we rate
(31:16):
this album for the beginning, but this is just how
it happened to fall.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Even when you kind of look at the last scenes
in Samuel L. Jackson and The Bad Guy and kick
Ass the Father, I can't remember his name, well known actor,
Like even when you look at like, I don't want
to say they're the same character. Yes, thank you, Stanley Tucci.
I don't want to say that. Yes, I don't want
(31:42):
to say it's the same character. But they're very similar
in how they act, in their mannerisms, the way they yell,
their voice, like the timing of it all. And so
as you're comparing the two films, it's really like a
Vaughan off. It really does become that. It's like, hey, Matthew,
you turned in two projects. In the food thing, you
(32:04):
gave me two dishes. Have to judge them between each other.
It's a little rough, buddy, Yeah, but here we one
had been a soap opera, you know what I mean,
they'd be a lot different. It'd be like a soap
opera versus kick Ass. Great, but both based off anime, animation,
off graphic novels. Yeah, it becomes similar.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah, you need like a you need a peppermint between
meals to refresh the palette. You know what I mean,
a peppermint. Yeah, kick Ass Strong Strong Contender. It's once again,
it's here for a reason because of its message, because
of its action, you know, all those things unpitted against
(32:50):
its rivals. And before we go into our final takes,
Watch has something special cooked up for us, which I'm
interested to see.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
It is something special at least, it's something new that
we haven't done on Random Select before. So we did
watch eight films. We don't have them up, but I
will run through them very quickly. And a couple of
things came up through our conversations, and I just want
to have some rapid fire questions to where you pick
a movie. Answer the question, and you know, the audience
(33:26):
gets to know a little bit more about you, and
we get to learn a little bit more about our
feelings about the final Random Select entries for this year. So,
without further ado, I will scroll to it and I
will tell you that our movies were God, it's all
(33:46):
scrolls so badly. Our movies were pardon me, Kingsman, Kick Ass, Persseopoly,
obviously I can't find it there. It is Scott Pilgrim,
Teenage Mutant, Ninja, Turtles, Nightmare, Alley, Astro Boy, Old Boy,
(34:12):
and as I said, Persopoly. So it does not matter
who goes first. But the first rapid fire question I have.
What is the most memorable scene that you have from
all of them? What scene has been going on in
your head since you saw it?
Speaker 1 (34:31):
I can go the scene that is this I have
never let go is the Persopoly scene with Eye of
the Tiger. I've been singing that in my brain. I've
been I've been rewatching it in my head. It's a
beautiful scene, and that's just my favorite part of anything
(34:52):
for a while. It's that that that's my answer, the
Tiger Tuty Lady Odin.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
I gotta tell you that's a tough one to answer
because I pulled clips from all of these movies. Oh
my brain, they're all jumbled, So I'm not sure how
all how honest i'd be able to answer this question. Okay,
there's a lot of memorable scenes as far as one
that stick with me the ending of kick Ass, where
(35:25):
Big Daddy's screaming, uh moves, and again I did not
know that he was just shouting out a comic book
TI titles.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
As as the moves. As she was doing these moves.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
I thought that was pretty freaking fascinating and cool to understand.
But that's day's life. Well he's on fire. That's an
insane scene. But yeah, there's there's way too many of them.
The Eye of the Tiger one is a good one. Uh,
the Scott Pilgrim scene. Actually you both dream dream sequences
(36:01):
where they're both walking through the door the first time
and then for the last time. Well, you know, I
don't have just one.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
I got your Rapid Fire.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
I got you rapid Fire. Just one. Uh movie that
you never need? Oh mine was surprisingly Bradley Cooper last.
Uh think we have a bit of the delays, So
I'm sorry if I'm.
Speaker 5 (36:27):
Talking over you lady. One moment. Yeah, are we caught up?
I think we're caught up, all right.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Uh movie you never need to see again, not in
a bad way, but you saw it. You've seen the
Rod and you just never need to see it again.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
No, you're okay, I'll say Nightmare Ali. I'm cool on that.
I don't need to see diver Alli again. My adults,
I love you, you know, but but yeah, Nightmare Ali.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
For me, Lady Odin movie you never need to see again?
Even though I think we know the answer. I think
Lady Odin may be dropping.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
You mind, jumping out and jumping back in. Maybe that'll
clear it up.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
I will say my movie that I never need to
see again is going to be Old Boy. It's like, yes,
I it's fine, man. But ultimately, like you know, they
they just rated Parasite as the number one movie of
like you know, the twenty first cent whatnot. And I'm like,
(38:01):
you know, I, after watching Old Boy, I think I'm
gonna be good on the Korean films for a minute.
I haven't seen Parasite, but watching Old Boys just like
I probably I'm probably good on that. So that was that.
And in regards to the first question, I'm not sure
if it was caught or not. My most memorable scene
(38:23):
is going to be Bradley Cooper at the end of
Nightmare Alley when he goes I could do that. I
could do that, dude, with everything that it comes with it,
and It's like, man, had that movie just been a
tad bit tighter, that movie probably could have did it
tad well. But the thing was all over the place.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
You know what the problem, the major problem was with
that story. Like you said, it wasn't tight enough and
it needed to be expanded upon. It needed to get
the American horror story treatment and have like six or
seven episodes that needed to be fan out because that
the pacing of that movie was all over the place.
You don't time frames were weird. You didn't know how
(39:06):
much time it passed between X and why, and that
that show needed to breathe, and unfortunately it didn't have
that runway. Two d's back. Let me bring it back.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
I got your lady Odin here, I'm here, Hi, we gotcha,
we gotcha. Okay, movie you never need to see again,
not in a bad way, but just never need to
see it again. Lady Jodin Turtles that we saw that
coming favorite character and the Ninja Turtles. No in the
(39:41):
in the rapid fire.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
Uh, Astra boy, Astra boy, yep, Astro.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Boy, Leonardo. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
I'm going Colin Firth, Colin.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Oh, that wasn't my real answer, I'm just seeing I
thought you were serious. I was being an internal Uh
for real? Answer is that's a tough question, dude, Dude,
I gotta say the doctor from Astro Boy, I think
(40:19):
I really enjoyed his arc, like going through think about it,
going through grief and seeing someone go through grief and
how they're dealing with it. And it's also Nicholas Cage.
You know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, that guy. No,
that's RD you know that guy part by French actual
(40:43):
Boy's dad. I just candle to that character, especially at
that time in my at that exact time, I felt
him and I was like, you know what I'm saying,
like what I what I pet cemetery somebody right about now.
I can't give you a straight answer, So I I
speaking of you.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Know, speaking of pet Cemetery. Which Halloween? Which? Which character
or costume would you wear for Halloween party? Who would
you go as?
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Oh that's a fun one. Actually, that's a fun one.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
I'd look like a green sausage. If I try to
wear a kick ass, you.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Know what I would? I would do hic girl. Hic
Girl's a fun one. Yeah, that'd be a fun costume.
But hell, yeah, red boots, let's.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Go give me a little like magnetic thing, like, yeah,
it'd be freaking cool cool.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
I hate to be this guy, but I'm dotting the
blue bandana with the two swords. I'm being Leo from
Vinja Turtles only because Mike g never got to be
an inter turtle for Halloween. In my entire life. The
costume costume much. I was a stickler. I wanted did
(42:02):
it to look perfect, and they just couldn't come together.
So my, So you were a brat.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
That's why you didn't get to be teenage meaning I
didn't want to.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Wear the fifties costume.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
I wanted to look I wanted to people, Oh ship,
it's a digit turtle.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
You were a brat.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
I was a brat certain things. I was the person
who almost got expelled for trying to make good job
mom and dad. They did an excellent job. I almost
got expelled for trying to make a Freddy glove in Woodshope.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
Damn, I'm that guy. You can't use real blades here.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Blades, bro. I brought the glove in and I was
in there and my my shop teacher just happen to
look at my shoulders. So what you're doing, I'm gonna
put these blades on my hands and I'm gonna be
fucking Freddy cougar bitch go to the office. Why man,
When I tell you my mom was about to wear
my ass out, she was like, Mike, just don't where'd
(42:59):
you get the blades? Now? In his back? George, you
had some blades. I was gonna bring them to sharpen
them up. I thought it was a little Oh. I
almost got to almost got my ass beat for that one,
but it would have been worth it because it was
coming together. I would have made it happen, Doug, I
promise you. Sorry that triggered a memory in my head
about me and my mom.
Speaker 3 (43:17):
Don't worries. Two more? Which setting do you most want
to go into? If you had to go into one tomorrow?
Which one? Which one are where you headed.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
The carnival and I'm Ellie, that's that's number one one.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
Easily part of me wants to go into the kick
At universe because we really need superheroes right now, you
know what I'm saying, Like, I would love to have
real life superheroes, even if they're kind of cheesy and
kind of bootleg at least we have heroes. But I
(43:54):
would love to be in the world and I just
want to be in the world of Astroboy with a
bunch of cool robots sipping around like the Flintstones, you
know what I'm saying, Like the Jetsons. I want to
be in the super tech techno future, you know, Japan, Tokyo,
you know what I mean. That seems super cool.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
Yes, I actually went with the Turtles because, yeah, nineteen
eighty nine was a cool year. I remember it. I
remember that club, and yeah, New York was a tad bit.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 3 (44:24):
New York sounds fun as hell to you know what
I say, Like eight New York could be a good time.
So you know, you might get knifed, but you might
be okay.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
You might be okay.
Speaker 3 (44:39):
So and the last one, which was alluded to, uh,
if you could make one of these movies tomorrow as
a not necessarily a remake, but just a fresh vision,
one that's in need of a fresh vision, which would
you pick?
Speaker 2 (45:01):
Scott Pilgrim.
Speaker 1 (45:01):
I was just gonna say it, m h m hm, Okay,
there's a lot left on the bone with Scott Pilgrim.
I want a different take I kind of.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
Want Nightmare ally because I was kind of disappointed and
it was it was I think that there's meat left
on the bone, as you say, with that, so I could.
I could if someone said, yeah, we're doing Nightmare ally too,
kind of forget what you saw, but we're in that
same world. I'm like, all right, let's do that so
(45:32):
rapid fire first time. Thank you participating fun stuff. Oh man.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
And it's like, don't you can't say turtles could just
wait five minutes and they'll just they'll they'll announce a
new Turtles. The turtles are being revamped every generation, so
just waiting.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
Yeah, that's so annoying.
Speaker 4 (45:48):
I'll be honest, though, guys, hot take the ones where
they're super buff and they're dumb looking. Those are actually
good movies. They look like shit, they don't look like
the turtles, but the movies themselves were so good.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
I don't if you guys have given him.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
A chance, but the movies was really Michael Bebis Michael.
Speaker 4 (46:09):
Okay, I don't maybe the one that's what the Yeah,
their their faces were terrible, like they didn't look like
like the Ninja turtles, right, they looked like big giants
steroid it out off twenty year old. Uh, frat boys
is what they what they were kind of were. But man,
those movies were so much fun. They were surprising.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
Is that a hot take or now, did you guys
lose me again?
Speaker 1 (46:36):
You were a little bit of delay, but.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
Oh, you guys got really quiet? What the hell?
Speaker 1 (46:42):
No, because we were trying to I was trying to
hang on to your words. But not a hot take
at all.
Speaker 3 (46:51):
I think, not at take.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
I think those are underrated. I just wish we got
rock Stadium Bebop. You're not going to fight me. We
got rock Steady and be Bop Dude, Like, that's just
too Did we get almost get crane in those? I
don't remember exactly we got crying, didn't we fuck that?
Speaker 3 (47:10):
In fact, I almost watched those the other day just
because we had watched te Mutant Ninja Turtles. I didn't
necessarily need to see two and three, and I was like,
you know what, I could go to Michael Bay's and
just do that, but there's other stuff to watch.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
So the only miscast was making Foxes April O'Neil. That
was the only kind of kind of nah. I wasn't
really wet, you know, but Michael Bay's going to Michael Bay,
so that's totally fine.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
Why was she? Was she too hot? I thought she
did an okay job too.
Speaker 1 (47:39):
She was too hot, Dirk, she was too hot.
Speaker 3 (47:43):
But they can.
Speaker 1 (47:43):
But then again, the cartoon O'Neill Raypel O'Neil was too hot,
So April O'Neill could be hot. You're winning me over, Toots,
you're winning me over. She was amazingly hot, but you
know what's hot.
Speaker 4 (47:56):
All right, I'm gonna bounce out again and see if
we can fix this delay.
Speaker 1 (47:59):
Okay, was talking too much? I'm sorry. I tend to
do that once my show Crazy watch that on the
rewe before she chops back in. It's insane that we're here.
Speaker 3 (48:19):
Man, dude, Like you know, every every time we do this,
it's it's not.
Speaker 1 (48:29):
Yeah, hold on, let me get let me grab her,
all right, what they tell you?
Speaker 2 (48:37):
Yeah, that's this fixes the delay for the end of
this episode.
Speaker 3 (48:43):
Which we should probably get to so that, you know,
weird things don't start to happen to weird things.
Speaker 2 (48:50):
So I think we're think they've already been happening.
Speaker 4 (48:54):
We're going to keep talking, yeah, instead of getting.
Speaker 3 (48:57):
To the point.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
Well, that's really because you're on a delay and when
it's my show, I can talk as much as I
want to. I have an idea, why don't we show
all of our choices at the same time rather than
go me, Brian, I do at all. This is a
horrible idea. What are you guys thinking?
Speaker 3 (49:21):
I mean, I'll go first, Like I'm not afraid to
go first. So essentially what I had to do was
go tick tick this one here, this one here, this
one here, this one here, and I ran down a
list of some of that already. But ultimately what it
came down to was what was the more complete movie
(49:42):
in my opinion, what was the more complete Matthew Vaughan experience?
And for me, because of the third act, if the
third act was not there, if Hit Girl was not there,
Kingsmen probably would be taking this. But she cleans up
(50:03):
the last part of that movie completely, Like for twenty
to thirty minutes, You're like, who is this, like twelve
year old that's just wrecking shop on screen And this
is my second watch and I was still like, damn,
like she is wrecking shop on screen, So kick ass
(50:23):
winner Wow. Brian Very twenty.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
Five, twenty twenty five it's it's I knew it would
come down to this. I knew it would come down
to this. I'm just gonna flat out say it. I
went with Kingsman. I went with kings Man.
Speaker 3 (50:44):
I love you, but not get a unanimous decision if
we wanted to.
Speaker 1 (50:48):
We're just too different. And that's what part of we
don't all agree, and that's what I love about this.
We're all gonna have different perspectives. One of my reasons
putting these two films head to head. You know, I've
always said what my criteria was, what's a great film,
what did I have fun watching? And who got closer
to the middle? You know what I mean, who got
(51:08):
closer to the middle. I love these spectacle of Kingsmen
a little bit more than I liked the spectacle of
kick Ass, even though Kingsman was a bigger, grandiose visual spectacle.
I love the I love the heart more in kick
Ass than I loved in Kingsmen. I think the story
of kick Ass was amazing. I love his growth. I
(51:29):
loved Nicholas Cage, but I also loved the lore of
Kingsmen and made my mind spin. I love the idea
of this secret, clandestine organization more than a teenage kid
in real life. So that's where I came with my decision.
I just enjoyed Kingsman more. And at the end of
(51:50):
the day, which film aren't going to watch on a
Saturday afternoon, I'm gonna watch Kingsman more than I will
watch kick Ass. And that's just really how I made
my decision.
Speaker 3 (52:02):
Lady Odin, there you go. Falls to you who will
be the winner of this year's twenty twenty five graphic
I am on the edge of my seat graphic novel
Random Select. I do not know.
Speaker 1 (52:20):
I do not know. Are you muted?
Speaker 4 (52:34):
Hey, well, I'm not gonna beat her on the bush either.
I'm not gonna explain as to why it's already been said.
It's already been done over eight episodes.
Speaker 2 (52:45):
Was that a joke?
Speaker 1 (52:48):
No? Yours? No, you got a delay. You had a delay,
so we were listening.
Speaker 4 (52:57):
I don't think the delays on my end. There's nothing
else running over here.
Speaker 1 (53:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (53:10):
No, but that seemed to got you.
Speaker 4 (53:12):
Now, Well, okay, well, I guess we'll just work with
the door happen.
Speaker 2 (53:22):
All right?
Speaker 4 (53:22):
Well, without further Ado, the winner of Random Select for
twenty twenty five is kick ass for sure, better movie,
better ingredients.
Speaker 2 (53:35):
Papa John's.
Speaker 1 (53:39):
Yea, the butter, the garlic sauce. Bro Kick has had
garlic sauce. That's what it boiled out to the artist
with us to it was the garlic sauce, wasn't it
pretty much?
Speaker 2 (53:54):
Also the better written movie part of it too.
Speaker 1 (53:57):
So yeah, garlic sauce, garlic sauce, that's the that's the secret.
But no, you're as you guys are absolutely right kick
ass Ismay.
Speaker 3 (54:09):
Yeah, I mean well, Matthew Vaughn would have a hard
time picking between these two, and I'm curious to what
he's say. In fact, I might tweet him later which
of these movies do you like better? Matthew Vaughn, And
I'll put the link in and be like, let us know.
I'm absolutely gonna do that. Heads up, Matthew vaugh I'm
coming for you for.
Speaker 2 (54:27):
You send them the link to the episode.
Speaker 1 (54:30):
Yeah, yes, absolutely almost pulled a Booker t. No, Matthew
vaugh watch all eight episodes before you ask See how
we got here? Man, See how we got here?
Speaker 3 (54:47):
Sir?
Speaker 1 (54:48):
You beat some pizza wat you owe it to us,
Matthew vaugh.
Speaker 3 (54:55):
You know it to yourself, like you made these films man,
so uh no, good time. I mean I can't. I
can't be mad and either or if one had won
or not. But I am with two D kick Ass
for me, just it was the more complete movie, like
a couple of those holes and Kingsmen were just hard
(55:15):
and had they had when I watched Kingsman two, I
could come in here and be like, oh yeah, they
filled out exy. This entire thing is awesome, you know
what I mean, kick or Kingsman one is great, but
I don't have that context. And I don't really have
any context for kick Ass too because I don't remember it.
Speaker 1 (55:32):
So yeah, you have to be you have to be fair, right,
you know, put these films in a white room, which
one's better? I think you guys nailed it, you know,
even though I'm I've been a bit of a contrary
in this entire random select and that's okay. I do
feel kick Ass, Like I said, either one of these
(55:53):
of these films could have just took it all, you know,
And I think we have a strong winner here, kick Ass.
Speaker 2 (56:02):
All right.
Speaker 3 (56:03):
If you would have told me kick Ass was gonna
take this when we stared at this I would know
in fact that was that was with Lady Jotin. I
thought Old Boy was gonna win this hands down. I
did not think that there was going to be much
conversation to be had. But you know, random selectick.
Speaker 4 (56:21):
Speaking of I want to go, I want to do
my eight to one from uh just so you guys,
this is who I want.
Speaker 2 (56:28):
This is how I wanted to go.
Speaker 4 (56:29):
Teenagement, Nina, Turtles number eight, Scott Pilgrim seven, Nightmare Alley six,
Kingsman five, Persopoly four, kick Ass three, Astro Boy two,
Old Boy one.
Speaker 2 (56:38):
That's what have been. That would have been my dream.
Speaker 4 (56:40):
Random Select winners, for sure, that's tight.
Speaker 1 (56:46):
I wanted to put Turtles at eight, but then I'm
a little body.
Speaker 3 (56:51):
I wouldn't put Old Boy in one.
Speaker 2 (56:53):
You guys, you guys would have both put Teenage and
Turtles at one.
Speaker 3 (56:57):
Number one would be in the top three. You probably,
that's for certain. I think.
Speaker 1 (57:08):
Would hate it.
Speaker 3 (57:11):
Watch out this October, I'm putting a Leonardo costume on Amazon,
sending it to you, buddy, like you can you can
get all the pizza you want and like hang out
with your bandada on and be like I'm Leonardo.
Speaker 1 (57:23):
Why don't we dress up for the m T and Spectacular.
Speaker 2 (57:28):
Yeah, I dressed up last year. No one else did.
Oh you did?
Speaker 3 (57:32):
You did to Mike?
Speaker 2 (57:33):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (57:36):
See we wait what black face?
Speaker 3 (57:40):
Yes? I was black? I was black?
Speaker 1 (57:43):
You're what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (57:46):
It's it's my costume. You have some weird rules that
get you There's there's no such thing. So before this
goes completely off the rails stuff, why are you worried?
Speaker 2 (58:06):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (58:07):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (58:08):
I mean, go ahead and try it, like, knock yourself out.
Walk to the grocery store. See probably probably nothing goes.
Speaker 1 (58:16):
Get a drink, go to a bar, drink. See how
that goes? With that? And with that we have reached
the end of our twenty twenty five mot and Random select.

with the ultimate human being yourself to the odin. What's
going on?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Hello? Not much. I'm ready to get the show on
the road. This kick ass Kingsman kickout.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
This kick ass Kingsman cookout is what we're going with.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Kickout. No, that's not what I said. Actually we should
do knockout. Knockout would be better. No knockout knockout.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I don't like any of that, all right, ISO on toots?
Speaking of ISOs, this the man himself. He wants drink.
He wants drink a glass of beer. It's wash once,
did it? What's going on?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Just one? That was not me? So on that note, Yes,
we're here for it. I thought we were calling it
a Vaughan off. Is that we're doing it. Vaughan is
fighting himself, Dark Vaughan versus Light Vaughan. So you know
we are here, and I'm stoked. I'm stoked to see
(02:24):
what happens. I am curious if the Nerdi verse will
come together on this final battle, as we have not
had a consensus yet, so I am curious if this
will be the one.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Haven't been unanimous on any of them, I think.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
No, no, no, no, it's always been one. There's always
been one, so yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
No, wow, maybe this is the one. Maybe it isn't
you know what I mean? I know we all have
our choices locked into our brains today of what we're
gonna choose, and we'll get there at the end of
all things. But for now, we're gonna go over how
we all got here, right, eight randomly selected graphic novel
(03:11):
films picked by our precious Overlord AI herself, and we've
come here with much deliberation, many arguments, many would have
could have should as. But this is where we land.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Did you guys write yours down yet? Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Good?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Did you write yours down? Locked in does not mean
you wrote it down?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Mike, this is my phone. I'm gonna put it on
my phone.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
No, no, no, you write it down on paper.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
No, that's digital's unreliable.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Why do you act like you can't delete it and
edit it? You forget or what? Yes, we have to
write it down, fink.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Or something of equal or lesser value.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
We haven't changed it in like the eight weeks we've
been doing.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I haven't had paper in eight weeks.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
But yet you've been writing it down.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I've been taking it down on my phone.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
No, we have actual evidence, video evidence that you've written
it down.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
That one. Good time. I did write it down.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Time.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Can I write it on my skin with that count?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah? I mean yeah, who cares? I mean at this point.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
At this stage, like a pen and a piece of paper. Bro,
all right, it's all right, man, it's your story.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Write it on your very pale skin.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Well, we go in there too. We're already fighting, are
already fighting.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Hey, it's summertime. I'm super darker than you right now,
I'm winning.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Wait till winter comes. Yeah, you're right, shout out the winter.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh he's a pastor of his own church. Now it
turns out.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
He's the master of his domain.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, he sure is good.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Good for winter, doing the Lord's work quite literally, quite literally.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
All Right, I got something. I'm gonna write it on
the back of this.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Oh yeah, integrity I have.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I have zero integrity, that's true. Learn it, learn it
written down. I'm not going to show you.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Okay, did you did you change your mind as you
were writing it up? I know you, I know you.
He's like, I.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Didn't want to put it down, so depending on how
I feel after everything. I'm gonna flip the side. You
can't beat me, you can't can't trick the trickster, you
can't riddle the riddler. Oh man, we're here. We're at
Kingsman versus kick Ass. Knockout is what we're calling it,
(05:52):
rough life. How is everybody feeling, Toot, I'm gonna I'm
gonna ask Toots, this is your first random select. You're
at the final round. How was this experience for you?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
It was so much fun. It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
We watched movies that I would have never sat down
and taken the time to watch or rewatch otherwise.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Coincidentally, every single movie that was paired up was somehow related,
which was really weird considering that all of this was random. Yeah,
the entire experience was really was pretty good, very very fun.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I'm very happy to hear that this is just something
we don't do often. I watch will tell you we
do them every once in a while, and I wanted
to start doing this annually. Once a year, maybe during
the summertime, we'll do a random select and that'll be
like our event, our Crisis of Infinite Earths, as it
were our civil war and we get to just kind
(06:49):
of have some fun with the audience and with ourselves
choosing these films. Wash, what are your thoughts about this year?
It's random select a.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Good random select man ID Like Toudy said, there's a
bunch of films in here I never would have watched,
like flat out full stop, and like there's some bangers
in here. So overall, like this has not been a
bad experience, and I don't think I have regretted any
of my time. It's this random select where I know
(07:21):
There's been one or two random selects where I've been like, eh,
that was a rough one, but we got the you
know what I mean. But no, this has been This
has been pretty good, very good.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
And I will concur with what you said, like sometimes
there's always that one film in a random select, you like,
I have no desire to watch this. How did this
make it? I'm forced at against my will to watch
this movie and you end up loving it or hating
it or whatever. This random select had nothing but bangers
in my opinion, Old boy, going back to pussuperbly, you
(07:54):
know what I'm saying, Astro boy, which is which is
some would say should be in this final round, but
this is where we're at, you know what I mean,
And this is the survival of the fittest. So I think,
with enough preamble, one last time, you guys ready to
dig into these movies a little bit before we make
our choices.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yept's do it.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Let's do it. Are you ready to.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Watch Teenage Ninja Turtles again?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You're so lucky because watch it. I got a feeling
watch was on the cuts.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I am so excited for my rapid fire. I'm very
excited for it. So go on.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
We have festivities here, we have fun episode. Are we
gonna do that before we start doing our final choices?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Uh? Yeah we can. That'd be fun.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Okay, we'll do it. We'll do it on that screen.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
They only have like five or six of them, so
it should go pretty quick. But I think it'll be fun.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Let's do final thoughts on Kingsmen, Like, this is a
movie that I didn't think was going to go long
in this random because of the competition. It was against
you know what I mean, didn't go up against Scott
Pilgrim versus the World if I'm if.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I'm Kinsman, was against was against.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Astro Boy, I mean yeah, and that was a hard
choice right there. This one made it. This is like
my underdog. Honestly, I think that this is film is
for all his faults, so much fun. Like I recollected
in my in our last episode watch it that I
(09:32):
just found myself watching this one day and it which
is on that doesn't happen for me often, Like I
didn't go searching for it. I was just flipping the
channels and it was on. From the cast to the
to the music is amazing, to the just overall action
and never lets you breathe. So my final thoughts is
I love this film. This is when I can put
(09:54):
on it any time, and it's a shame that the
franchise kind of finished out its tra is done. I
hope they we make it one day with a fresh
new eye. But that's just my two cents. On Kingsman, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I hope they don't remake it again. It doesn't need
to be remade.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Would you like to see a Kingsman a another because
you know what I mean, The Kingsman, the Law, the
Lore expanded.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Ay yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not a remake though, I
would not want to see these movies. Movies remade by
any by any stretch of the imagination.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Well, that's a rapid fire question spoiler alert, so you know,
get ready now that it's been spoiled. But yes, as
far as the remake goes, I I don't know, but
i'd say as far as Kingsman goes. I spent a
lot of time thinking about this movie over the course
of the last week and a half, just because it
(10:51):
is in the finals. And as I said, when we
started this movie had a lot of hype. I stayed
away from it simply because I didn't think it could
live up to the hype that I was hearing about it.
And so for me, and look, I don't want to
call it a simple movie, but you know what I mean,
(11:11):
it's not a big like thinker. You're not You're not
walking around going man, that that scene or how how
do we get here? You know, it's like a fun,
popcorny movie. And this movie has a surprisingly surprisingly amount
of depth that is brought to it from Colin Firth
(11:33):
and some of the other characters that are within the movie.
I'm not gonna say Eggsy's one of my favorite ones
because he's not necessarily one of my favorite ones because
they didn't really expand on him enough to be but
when you look at Colin Firth, the Operator, even Samuel L.
Jackson's character, who I still don't like that much. But
(11:57):
there's a lot of depth to the story that's being
told here, and that's something that I kind of have
an appreciation for that I didn't think was it gonna
be able to live up to the hype. You know,
if someone told you, hey, James Bond is amazing and
you're like, yeah, it's a fifty year history, You're like,
all right, and then you go watch yourself from James Bond,
(12:18):
you're like, oh shit, this ain't bad. Or you could
get one of the bad ones and go, eh, what
are you all so excited about? Kingsman did, And I
guess that's my point. Kingsman didn't leave that taste in
my mouth where it most certainly could have it most certainly.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Could have fell short. Absolutely what you thought.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
You know me, I'm kind of I'm a hardcore. So
it's like, if if this little thing is off, I'm like, yeah,
the whole thing's a mess, so don't Yeah, so for
it to workout, it's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, cool beads. What's your thinking too.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
It's a fun movie. I'm not.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
I haven't changed my mind about it. It's a very
good movie, very fun movie. Brian said that there isn't
uh like I mean, there's there's I guess he said,
there's depth, but it's not. It's not a it's not
a thinker's movie.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I I I don't know. It depends.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I only I was only turned on by by the
CIA aspect of it. And uh, you know the ways
that they go about seeking spies and agents and the
way they go about forcing people in a sense to
do the greasy deeds that they want done. Uh, that
(13:37):
that part of it I very much fun interesting. I
think there's a lot of truth to a lot of
the things Hollywood puts out, be it in a comic
comic form or in a comedy action form.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
The way this movie is done.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Uh, this movie is hilarious more than anything. So if
you're not paying paying too much attention to the conspiracies
involved in all of it, it's just a fun, fun movie.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
And it is.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
It is just a fun, fun movie. But again, crazy
Tinfoil Hatter like myself enjoyed it for different reasons. And
in that and in that sense. Yeah, I think it
was kind of a thinking man's movie, not on the surface,
but you can say that about any movie, just about
especially the ones that they've been pushing out recently. They
have answers in all kinds of movies that you're not
looking for, questions that you want answered all of a sudden,
(14:23):
and you don't really have any idea idea why this
is one of them. And this was like not necessarily
the beginning, but part of what was the beginning of
movies that make you question and wonder.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
So, yeah, it's good movie.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
It's fun movie, absolutely, and I definitely want to kind
of clarify like not necessarily remake same character, same character,
but like you were saying, Toots and Wash like really
just kind of an expansion of the lore kind of
like what was going on in the seventies with the Kingsmen,
you know what I mean? Is it a whole new
cast of characters, right, what was going on in the
(14:59):
thirties twenties, Even in the future, like a future version
of the Kingsman like Batman Beyond or something like that.
I think that would be interesting. It's just what are
the Kingsmen doing now? You know what I mean almost
like and it has like that timeless kind of availability,
like the Predator.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Definitely has a timeless capability to.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Where you can you could drop any time in American
history or whatever history, English UK history, and there's probably
the Kingman running around doing dirt, you know what I mean,
recruiting people going on black ops. That's that's interesting. I
think that's and I think that's what The King's Man
that the final movie was about, was the birth of
the Kingsman, which I think takes place like in World
(15:39):
War One, fighting rasp and stuff, cool stuff.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
You know, how do we know Indiana Jones wasn't recruited
by the Kingsmen?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
We don't know that.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Say oh, let's do that a man, Amen, man, Let's
let's do it. Harrison's third go. But you know what I.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Mean, you trigger something to my brain. You know. It's like,
did you know that during World War Two Captain America
team dealt with Wolverine to fight the Red Skull. Oh yeah,
Canada was involved in that, So technically Captain America knew
who Wolverine was before Wolverine knew who Wolverine was.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
That's that's can though, isn't it like it's.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
No, it's it's part of the Marvel lore. That's interesting, right.
It makes me think of that Iniana Jones. Uh freaking
you know what I'm saying, like, who else could you
throw in that that may have run may have run
parallel to the Kingsman freaking maybe even real James Bond,
you know what I mean? Like why not have a crossover?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Right, Ethan Crane, the League of Extraordinary Gentleman. You know
what I'm saying, with like doctor Jackel and misst the
world has got to get weird.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
You know, there's a lot of different and you know what,
I think a Kiksman at least for this first one.
It's it's flighty enough that it there's room for some
silliness in it if you want to do that to
where it it still comes off as, oh, well this
is still kind of cool stylish and I like it. Yeah. Absolutely.
(17:15):
Is it a Rainstorm Clean Energy? No, okay, I the Purple.
I thought I had you. I thought I had you
Rainstorm Clean Energy.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
It's yeah, it's a it's a raspberry nectarine delicious.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
They're not bad. Yeah, waters are not bad.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Waterloo, Waterloo, Waterlo.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Sorry, this is not a commercial, but if you want
to sponsor rest Waterloo, hashtag amblet and follow find your
boy make us all rich please. Yeah. Any final thoughts
on Kingsman, I just love I love everything about this one.
I didn't realize I like this as much as I did.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Well, I had to put you know, as we're comparing
these two movies, I had to start like checking boxes
on one half. As I said, there's no exact science
to how these things are picked between the participants of
random Select, so it's like for me, I had to
check boxes, and this checked a surprisingly number of boxes,
(18:18):
even against kick Ass, which we're gonna get to in
a moment. But even as I like begrudgingly had to admit, like, nah, dude,
this is kind of a dope movie, question mark. I
just kind of wish there was a tad more there.
And when you really get down to it, it's like
(18:40):
this thing's like it's pretty fed, man, It's pretty thin,
just this movie, and you know, when you get the
kick Ass. This was to two hours, nine minutes, And
I think about kick Ass and the third thing, and
I think to myself, I actually thought Cass was a
longer movie until I just looked, and I'm like, no,
(19:04):
Kingsman is the longer movie doesn't doesn't necessarily feel that way.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
So there you go. I feel it. I feel it.
Any final thoughts, tuts, No, sweet Kingsman, Ladies and gentlemen.
In one corner and in the other corner, we have
the team Matthew Vaughan. We have Matthew Vaughan versus Matthew
Vaughan with the chair. Matthew vaugh It's Matthew.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Von up to the mask.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Now is that possible?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
He got the money in the bank. Suit Casey's coming in?
Oh no, he takes off the baskets. Just Matthew Vaughan
with a scar. It's freaking shoutouts Compton Media dog. I'm
sure they would get a kick out of all that.
Speaking of kicks, we're talking about ass kick. We're talking
(19:59):
about kick ass. This movie was a surprise to a
locked and especially a surprise to me. I love that.
As to so eloquently put, it is m O T
and coded. This is what we all would do. This
is what we all strive to do as masters of
the Nerdi verse. You know, just just try to be
something above and beyond. And some take it to the
(20:23):
next extreme. You know, the kick ass took it to
that extreme. He got his ass kicked a couple of
times before he became godd. I'm not gonna say much
on this one because I feel like this movie really
speaks for itself. Are you frozen? Are you listening? Oh
you're very still? That was I thought you were frozen.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
No, I'm I'm I'm trying to bring up the brightness
on my on the laptop.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Okay, you were tripping me out because you were just like.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I was like, who, You're good, You're good. I love
Nicholas Cage in this movie. I've been watching all the
ghost Rider movies over the weekend and just how stupid
Nicholas Cage is.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
I'm knocking at the.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Sorry about that, guys. I don't I want to blow
out anybody's but Nicholas Cage is amazing in this film
as Big Daddy. Of course, hit Girl is a star
of the show. I think she just steals everything. And
she's in, of course, the titular kick ass who actually
has meat on his bones. Pause, And I think this
character does have amount of character growth that you see
(21:38):
throughout this journey and I love the kind of social
commentary that it helps create. I love that this is
the very first beginning of the If it's not on camera,
it didn't happen. Generation I love seeing him actually get
superpowers as he goes through this film by like nerve damage,
you know, he becomes got like a And I love
(22:02):
the villains. I love Mark Mark Strong, who was also
in Kingsman. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Strong, that's his name, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
You know what I'm saying. So I'm a big fan
of this movie. I love it's heart, I love its journey,
and I'm happy that he got a sequel. Who wants
to go up and just kind of give their thoughts
on kick Ass?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
All right, I'll go, okay, go ahead, Lady Odin, You're fine,
all right, fair enough. I think kick Ass, for what
it is, is a completely absurd movie that probably shouldn't
have worked, you know what I mean, Like it shouldn't
be as good as it turned out to be. It
probably should have been left like, yeah, this is kind
(22:46):
of dumb and not gonna work. And kick Ass managed
to bring fun laughter. I actually got more laughs out
of this than Kingsmen. And you know, for me laughs
is hard in any general movie. But Big Daddy, uh
Nick Cage. I kept putting him up against Colin Firth
(23:07):
in my head, and Colin Firth wins over over here
over Big Daddy by the smallest margin, just because he's
freaking cool man. Colin Firth nails it. But then kick
Ass comes along and brings in Chloe Grace Moretz with
hit Girl, and she kind of beats out Eggsy and
(23:30):
what Tarn Tarren, what Han Solo's over there doing? So
for me it really became like, man, these are two
really good movies. Matthew, You're you're literally fighting Matthew Vaughn
in your head, you know what I mean. He's like
writing the same thing kind of in a different way
(23:52):
over here for a different type of movie. And kick
Ass is so much fun and it probably shouldn't be.
And I still go back to the kids in the
car jamming out, which I think Lady Odin hates that scene,
or Mike, it was one of the two of you
that was dead did not like that scene. And I literally,
for like two three weeks now, like I'm in my head,
(24:15):
I can see myself jamming out like in the car
with my Costu bo like, yeah, man, this is cool.
So uh. I think kick Ass brings a lot of
fun that's completely unexpected and there was no hype for
me to live up to. But upon a rewatch of
a movie that I hadn't seen in you know, fifteen
(24:36):
freaking years, for it to hold up, that's pretty impressive.
In my end. We can get into TM and T
if Lady Odin would like, but you know, it's been
a while, so for it to hold up, it's like, yeah,
that's pretty good. Cause most things don't hold up. Most
things you get to a stage with and you look
(24:58):
at it and you go, yeah, I don't want to
see any of this and we're kind of done with
it no matter what it is, you know. But there
are some things like The Godfather Part two that no
matter what age you are, you're like, oh, damn, that's
kind of a cool movie once once you get through
the whole thing, like damn, so.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Very cool. All right, cool, what are your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
To I found kick Ass to be extremely unique.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
You know, I'm not going to regurgitate all the all
the bullshit I already said, that's already been said.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
It.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
There'n't no reason to say it again, but kick Ass
is absolutely unique.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
It's it's a first of its kind.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
It introduced new actors in that time. It also reintroduced
the actor that played mclebbn. I think to me he
was the worst part of kick Ass in that there
was a lot of cringe involved with that character.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I think it was done on purpose that way.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Uh. I don't think it was bad acting. I think
it was actually done on purpose for him to play
a try hard the way he was playing a try hard,
which was a little off putting.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
But you know, that's the main reason why I don't
like the scene in the car where they're singing. It's
it's a cool bonding moment, I guess for two for
two young teenagers. But then you know when he brings
out the joint and he's like, yeah, I do this
when I want to take the edge off.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
It's like, come on, kid like.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Kids kids that act that way in real life. And
there we've we've all known one or two are weird.
I don't want to be around you, weirdo. Stop trying
so hard, you know what I mean? And that doesn't
make anybody cooler than anybody else. It just means it's
just like, yeah, we're not We're not there, buddy, We're not.
Like if you're gonna spark a j, spark a jay
and shut the fuck up. Like nobody needs that extra
So that that's the whole reason why I didn't like
(26:47):
that scene. But yeah, like I said, it, did this
movie erase the type cast of McLevin. If you ask me,
nobody looks at him anymore and thinks, oh, yeah, McLevin.
You know what I mean, Nobody looks at him and
thinks I forgot his name and kick ass Red Hawk or.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Whatever, red miss uh, red.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Mist Fine, nobody, nobody, Uh, He's not the mclovin anymore. Basically,
I mean he then he moved on to this is
the end, so it's not like he he didn't do
other things. I think the try hard part of this
for this person is more of the fact that he
wasn't trying to be type cast as mcleven. I think
this role was him begging Hollywood not to typecast him,
(27:31):
which might be part of why it was played the
way it was too.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
But the last thing I'll say is.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
It's a first it's a full circle movie. It has
a great beginning, It has a great middle, and it
has a great.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Ending, and it ends. It ends. It actually ends.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
You can't have you can't continue the story because Big
Daddy dies. So this story with his dynamic trio, it's over.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
It's done. So the movie ends.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Like it's it's it's it's a brilliant fantasy world and
it's sowas Kingsman, mind you, if if we want to,
if we want to do commonalities, they're both superhero fantasy
world movies. And Kingsman, you're a superhero but you're also
a gentleman. And kick Ass you are a ruthless kick ass.
So yeah, I mean and that they are. They are
kind of one and the same, like you, Like Brian said,
(28:17):
Matthew Vaughn was making the same movie in different ways.
I just think kick Ass has a more completed version
of itself.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
To say the least.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
I hadn't considered it, but you know what, I would
watch a Big Daddy prequel movie with him and the
other cop, like like when everything goes totally bad, and
I would watch that. I hadn't considered it, but it's like, yeah,
Matthew Vaughan, come back and do that, Nick Cage.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
It has to be comic book, comic books about it, right.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Like I think, so, I'm not the kick asthologist. I've read,
like I used to read a lot of it, didn't
you read them? Yeah? I read them.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
But master of the Universe.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Part of the title, you don't know everything.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Superman isn't super.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Superman according to according to the critics. We'll talk about
that on Friday. But yeah, yeah, I know, it's just
you know, but I think there is there's a lot
of lore when it comes to Big Daddy and hit Girl,
and in the comics it takes a little bit longer
for him to kick to kick ass for him to
(29:29):
kick off. So I think there's a lot of backs.
If you want more backstory, it's always go to the
source material. You're gonna find your, your, your, your, your,
your hit. But I could see this being kind of
continued as a graphic as like an anime animation, like
a Netflix animation or something like that. Bring back all
the original voice actors, kind of like what they did
(29:50):
with with Scott Pilgrim. I think they would be down,
you know what I mean, because there's still a lot
of book that to tell, but as isolated in a
white room film this does have a very strong beginning middle,
and he is now a hero and this is now
his city, you know what I mean. Very Spider Man,
(30:11):
you know what I mean in that sense, or go
from nerd zero to hero, you know what I mean.
And I think that's aspiring for a lot of nerds
out there who are like, can I can I get
the girl? If you apply yourself, Maybe maybe not that girl,
but you'll be able to get someone that you that
bets better suits you. It's kind of like power fantasy, right,
let's let's uh, let's be the best we can be.
(30:34):
And I like that about kick Ass. It helps you
aspire to be more, you know what I mean. Whatever
that means for you, you know what I'm saying, and
like what you're saying too. It's about I never thought
of Kingsman as a superhero movie, but it really is.
There's some fantastical stuff going on in that movie. But
you're just in the guise of a secret agent versus
wearing a Rather than wearing a mask and a cape,
(30:56):
you're wearing a ox first, not brokes, right, you know.
To mean, it's another form of fantasy that can be
just as fantastical as Kick ass Is, and I like
that juxtaposition between these two films, and I think for
this being the final round again Vaughn versus Vaughn's almost
like we made this up. It's almost like we rate
(31:16):
this album for the beginning, but this is just how
it happened to fall.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Even when you kind of look at the last scenes
in Samuel L. Jackson and The Bad Guy and kick
Ass the Father, I can't remember his name, well known actor,
Like even when you look at like, I don't want
to say they're the same character. Yes, thank you, Stanley Tucci.
I don't want to say that. Yes, I don't want
(31:42):
to say it's the same character. But they're very similar
in how they act, in their mannerisms, the way they yell,
their voice, like the timing of it all. And so
as you're comparing the two films, it's really like a
Vaughan off. It really does become that. It's like, hey, Matthew,
you turned in two projects. In the food thing, you
(32:04):
gave me two dishes. Have to judge them between each other.
It's a little rough, buddy, Yeah, but here we one
had been a soap opera, you know what I mean,
they'd be a lot different. It'd be like a soap
opera versus kick Ass. Great, but both based off anime, animation,
off graphic novels. Yeah, it becomes similar.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah, you need like a you need a peppermint between
meals to refresh the palette. You know what I mean,
a peppermint. Yeah, kick Ass Strong Strong Contender. It's once again,
it's here for a reason because of its message, because
of its action, you know, all those things unpitted against
(32:50):
its rivals. And before we go into our final takes,
Watch has something special cooked up for us, which I'm
interested to see.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
It is something special at least, it's something new that
we haven't done on Random Select before. So we did
watch eight films. We don't have them up, but I
will run through them very quickly. And a couple of
things came up through our conversations, and I just want
to have some rapid fire questions to where you pick
a movie. Answer the question, and you know, the audience
(33:26):
gets to know a little bit more about you, and
we get to learn a little bit more about our
feelings about the final Random Select entries for this year. So,
without further ado, I will scroll to it and I
will tell you that our movies were God, it's all
(33:46):
scrolls so badly. Our movies were pardon me, Kingsman, Kick Ass, Persseopoly,
obviously I can't find it there. It is Scott Pilgrim,
Teenage Mutant, Ninja, Turtles, Nightmare, Alley, Astro Boy, Old Boy,
(34:12):
and as I said, Persopoly. So it does not matter
who goes first. But the first rapid fire question I have.
What is the most memorable scene that you have from
all of them? What scene has been going on in
your head since you saw it?
Speaker 1 (34:31):
I can go the scene that is this I have
never let go is the Persopoly scene with Eye of
the Tiger. I've been singing that in my brain. I've
been I've been rewatching it in my head. It's a
beautiful scene, and that's just my favorite part of anything
(34:52):
for a while. It's that that that's my answer, the
Tiger Tuty Lady Odin.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
I gotta tell you that's a tough one to answer
because I pulled clips from all of these movies. Oh
my brain, they're all jumbled, So I'm not sure how
all how honest i'd be able to answer this question. Okay,
there's a lot of memorable scenes as far as one
that stick with me the ending of kick Ass, where
(35:25):
Big Daddy's screaming, uh moves, and again I did not
know that he was just shouting out a comic book
TI titles.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
As as the moves. As she was doing these moves.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
I thought that was pretty freaking fascinating and cool to understand.
But that's day's life. Well he's on fire. That's an
insane scene. But yeah, there's there's way too many of them.
The Eye of the Tiger one is a good one. Uh,
the Scott Pilgrim scene. Actually you both dream dream sequences
(36:01):
where they're both walking through the door the first time
and then for the last time. Well, you know, I
don't have just one.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
I got your Rapid Fire.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
I got you rapid Fire. Just one. Uh movie that
you never need? Oh mine was surprisingly Bradley Cooper last.
Uh think we have a bit of the delays, So
I'm sorry if I'm.
Speaker 5 (36:27):
Talking over you lady. One moment. Yeah, are we caught up?
I think we're caught up, all right.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Uh movie you never need to see again, not in
a bad way, but you saw it. You've seen the
Rod and you just never need to see it again.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
No, you're okay, I'll say Nightmare Ali. I'm cool on that.
I don't need to see diver Alli again. My adults,
I love you, you know, but but yeah, Nightmare Ali.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
For me, Lady Odin movie you never need to see again?
Even though I think we know the answer. I think
Lady Odin may be dropping.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
You mind, jumping out and jumping back in. Maybe that'll
clear it up.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
I will say my movie that I never need to
see again is going to be Old Boy. It's like, yes,
I it's fine, man. But ultimately, like you know, they
they just rated Parasite as the number one movie of
like you know, the twenty first cent whatnot. And I'm like,
(38:01):
you know, I, after watching Old Boy, I think I'm
gonna be good on the Korean films for a minute.
I haven't seen Parasite, but watching Old Boys just like
I probably I'm probably good on that. So that was that.
And in regards to the first question, I'm not sure
if it was caught or not. My most memorable scene
(38:23):
is going to be Bradley Cooper at the end of
Nightmare Alley when he goes I could do that. I
could do that, dude, with everything that it comes with it,
and It's like, man, had that movie just been a
tad bit tighter, that movie probably could have did it
tad well. But the thing was all over the place.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
You know what the problem, the major problem was with
that story. Like you said, it wasn't tight enough and
it needed to be expanded upon. It needed to get
the American horror story treatment and have like six or
seven episodes that needed to be fan out because that
the pacing of that movie was all over the place.
You don't time frames were weird. You didn't know how
(39:06):
much time it passed between X and why, and that
that show needed to breathe, and unfortunately it didn't have
that runway. Two d's back. Let me bring it back.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
I got your lady Odin here, I'm here, Hi, we gotcha,
we gotcha. Okay, movie you never need to see again,
not in a bad way, but just never need to
see it again. Lady Jodin Turtles that we saw that
coming favorite character and the Ninja Turtles. No in the
(39:41):
in the rapid fire.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
Uh, Astra boy, Astra boy, yep, Astro.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Boy, Leonardo. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
I'm going Colin Firth, Colin.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Oh, that wasn't my real answer, I'm just seeing I
thought you were serious. I was being an internal Uh
for real? Answer is that's a tough question, dude, Dude,
I gotta say the doctor from Astro Boy, I think
(40:19):
I really enjoyed his arc, like going through think about it,
going through grief and seeing someone go through grief and
how they're dealing with it. And it's also Nicholas Cage.
You know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, that guy. No,
that's RD you know that guy part by French actual
(40:43):
Boy's dad. I just candle to that character, especially at
that time in my at that exact time, I felt
him and I was like, you know what I'm saying,
like what I what I pet cemetery somebody right about now.
I can't give you a straight answer, So I I
speaking of you.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Know, speaking of pet Cemetery. Which Halloween? Which? Which character
or costume would you wear for Halloween party? Who would
you go as?
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Oh that's a fun one. Actually, that's a fun one.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
I'd look like a green sausage. If I try to
wear a kick ass, you.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Know what I would? I would do hic girl. Hic
Girl's a fun one. Yeah, that'd be a fun costume.
But hell, yeah, red boots, let's.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Go give me a little like magnetic thing, like, yeah,
it'd be freaking cool cool.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
I hate to be this guy, but I'm dotting the
blue bandana with the two swords. I'm being Leo from
Vinja Turtles only because Mike g never got to be
an inter turtle for Halloween. In my entire life. The
costume costume much. I was a stickler. I wanted did
(42:02):
it to look perfect, and they just couldn't come together.
So my, So you were a brat.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
That's why you didn't get to be teenage meaning I
didn't want to.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Wear the fifties costume.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
I wanted to look I wanted to people, Oh ship,
it's a digit turtle.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
You were a brat.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
I was a brat certain things. I was the person
who almost got expelled for trying to make good job
mom and dad. They did an excellent job. I almost
got expelled for trying to make a Freddy glove in Woodshope.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
Damn, I'm that guy. You can't use real blades here.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Blades, bro. I brought the glove in and I was
in there and my my shop teacher just happen to
look at my shoulders. So what you're doing, I'm gonna
put these blades on my hands and I'm gonna be
fucking Freddy cougar bitch go to the office. Why man,
When I tell you my mom was about to wear
my ass out, she was like, Mike, just don't where'd
(42:59):
you get the blades? Now? In his back? George, you
had some blades. I was gonna bring them to sharpen
them up. I thought it was a little Oh. I
almost got to almost got my ass beat for that one,
but it would have been worth it because it was
coming together. I would have made it happen, Doug, I
promise you. Sorry that triggered a memory in my head
about me and my mom.
Speaker 3 (43:17):
Don't worries. Two more? Which setting do you most want
to go into? If you had to go into one tomorrow?
Which one? Which one are where you headed.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
The carnival and I'm Ellie, that's that's number one one.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
Easily part of me wants to go into the kick
At universe because we really need superheroes right now, you
know what I'm saying, Like, I would love to have
real life superheroes, even if they're kind of cheesy and
kind of bootleg at least we have heroes. But I
(43:54):
would love to be in the world and I just
want to be in the world of Astroboy with a
bunch of cool robots sipping around like the Flintstones, you
know what I'm saying, Like the Jetsons. I want to
be in the super tech techno future, you know, Japan, Tokyo,
you know what I mean. That seems super cool.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
Yes, I actually went with the Turtles because, yeah, nineteen
eighty nine was a cool year. I remember it. I
remember that club, and yeah, New York was a tad bit.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 3 (44:24):
New York sounds fun as hell to you know what
I say, Like eight New York could be a good time.
So you know, you might get knifed, but you might
be okay.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
You might be okay.
Speaker 3 (44:39):
So and the last one, which was alluded to, uh,
if you could make one of these movies tomorrow as
a not necessarily a remake, but just a fresh vision,
one that's in need of a fresh vision, which would
you pick?
Speaker 2 (45:01):
Scott Pilgrim.
Speaker 1 (45:01):
I was just gonna say it, m h m hm, Okay,
there's a lot left on the bone with Scott Pilgrim.
I want a different take I kind of.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
Want Nightmare ally because I was kind of disappointed and
it was it was I think that there's meat left
on the bone, as you say, with that, so I could.
I could if someone said, yeah, we're doing Nightmare ally too,
kind of forget what you saw, but we're in that
same world. I'm like, all right, let's do that so
(45:32):
rapid fire first time. Thank you participating fun stuff. Oh man.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
And it's like, don't you can't say turtles could just
wait five minutes and they'll just they'll they'll announce a
new Turtles. The turtles are being revamped every generation, so
just waiting.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
Yeah, that's so annoying.
Speaker 4 (45:48):
I'll be honest, though, guys, hot take the ones where
they're super buff and they're dumb looking. Those are actually
good movies. They look like shit, they don't look like
the turtles, but the movies themselves were so good.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
I don't if you guys have given him.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
A chance, but the movies was really Michael Bebis Michael.
Speaker 4 (46:09):
Okay, I don't maybe the one that's what the Yeah,
their their faces were terrible, like they didn't look like
like the Ninja turtles, right, they looked like big giants
steroid it out off twenty year old. Uh, frat boys
is what they what they were kind of were. But man,
those movies were so much fun. They were surprising.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
Is that a hot take or now, did you guys
lose me again?
Speaker 1 (46:36):
You were a little bit of delay, but.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
Oh, you guys got really quiet? What the hell?
Speaker 1 (46:42):
No, because we were trying to I was trying to
hang on to your words. But not a hot take
at all.
Speaker 3 (46:51):
I think, not at take.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
I think those are underrated. I just wish we got
rock Stadium Bebop. You're not going to fight me. We
got rock Steady and be Bop Dude, Like, that's just
too Did we get almost get crane in those? I
don't remember exactly we got crying, didn't we fuck that?
Speaker 3 (47:10):
In fact, I almost watched those the other day just
because we had watched te Mutant Ninja Turtles. I didn't
necessarily need to see two and three, and I was like,
you know what, I could go to Michael Bay's and
just do that, but there's other stuff to watch.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
So the only miscast was making Foxes April O'Neil. That
was the only kind of kind of nah. I wasn't
really wet, you know, but Michael Bay's going to Michael Bay,
so that's totally fine.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
Why was she? Was she too hot? I thought she
did an okay job too.
Speaker 1 (47:39):
She was too hot, Dirk, she was too hot.
Speaker 3 (47:43):
But they can.
Speaker 1 (47:43):
But then again, the cartoon O'Neill Raypel O'Neil was too hot,
So April O'Neill could be hot. You're winning me over, Toots,
you're winning me over. She was amazingly hot, but you
know what's hot.
Speaker 4 (47:56):
All right, I'm gonna bounce out again and see if
we can fix this delay.
Speaker 1 (47:59):
Okay, was talking too much? I'm sorry. I tend to
do that once my show Crazy watch that on the
rewe before she chops back in. It's insane that we're here.
Speaker 3 (48:19):
Man, dude, Like you know, every every time we do this,
it's it's not.
Speaker 1 (48:29):
Yeah, hold on, let me get let me grab her,
all right, what they tell you?
Speaker 2 (48:37):
Yeah, that's this fixes the delay for the end of
this episode.
Speaker 3 (48:43):
Which we should probably get to so that, you know,
weird things don't start to happen to weird things.
Speaker 2 (48:50):
So I think we're think they've already been happening.
Speaker 4 (48:54):
We're going to keep talking, yeah, instead of getting.
Speaker 3 (48:57):
To the point.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
Well, that's really because you're on a delay and when
it's my show, I can talk as much as I
want to. I have an idea, why don't we show
all of our choices at the same time rather than
go me, Brian, I do at all. This is a
horrible idea. What are you guys thinking?
Speaker 3 (49:21):
I mean, I'll go first, Like I'm not afraid to
go first. So essentially what I had to do was
go tick tick this one here, this one here, this
one here, this one here, and I ran down a
list of some of that already. But ultimately what it
came down to was what was the more complete movie
(49:42):
in my opinion, what was the more complete Matthew Vaughan experience?
And for me, because of the third act, if the
third act was not there, if Hit Girl was not there,
Kingsmen probably would be taking this. But she cleans up
(50:03):
the last part of that movie completely, Like for twenty
to thirty minutes, You're like, who is this, like twelve
year old that's just wrecking shop on screen And this
is my second watch and I was still like, damn,
like she is wrecking shop on screen, So kick ass
(50:23):
winner Wow. Brian Very twenty.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
Five, twenty twenty five it's it's I knew it would
come down to this. I knew it would come down
to this. I'm just gonna flat out say it. I
went with Kingsman. I went with kings Man.
Speaker 3 (50:44):
I love you, but not get a unanimous decision if
we wanted to.
Speaker 1 (50:48):
We're just too different. And that's what part of we
don't all agree, and that's what I love about this.
We're all gonna have different perspectives. One of my reasons
putting these two films head to head. You know, I've
always said what my criteria was, what's a great film,
what did I have fun watching? And who got closer
to the middle? You know what I mean, who got
(51:08):
closer to the middle. I love these spectacle of Kingsmen
a little bit more than I liked the spectacle of
kick Ass, even though Kingsman was a bigger, grandiose visual spectacle.
I love the I love the heart more in kick
Ass than I loved in Kingsmen. I think the story
of kick Ass was amazing. I love his growth. I
(51:29):
loved Nicholas Cage, but I also loved the lore of
Kingsmen and made my mind spin. I love the idea
of this secret, clandestine organization more than a teenage kid
in real life. So that's where I came with my decision.
I just enjoyed Kingsman more. And at the end of
(51:50):
the day, which film aren't going to watch on a
Saturday afternoon, I'm gonna watch Kingsman more than I will
watch kick Ass. And that's just really how I made
my decision.
Speaker 3 (52:02):
Lady Odin, there you go. Falls to you who will
be the winner of this year's twenty twenty five graphic
I am on the edge of my seat graphic novel
Random Select. I do not know.
Speaker 1 (52:20):
I do not know. Are you muted?
Speaker 4 (52:34):
Hey, well, I'm not gonna beat her on the bush either.
I'm not gonna explain as to why it's already been said.
It's already been done over eight episodes.
Speaker 2 (52:45):
Was that a joke?
Speaker 1 (52:48):
No? Yours? No, you got a delay. You had a delay,
so we were listening.
Speaker 4 (52:57):
I don't think the delays on my end. There's nothing
else running over here.
Speaker 1 (53:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (53:10):
No, but that seemed to got you.
Speaker 4 (53:12):
Now, Well, okay, well, I guess we'll just work with
the door happen.
Speaker 2 (53:22):
All right?
Speaker 4 (53:22):
Well, without further Ado, the winner of Random Select for
twenty twenty five is kick ass for sure, better movie,
better ingredients.
Speaker 2 (53:35):
Papa John's.
Speaker 1 (53:39):
Yea, the butter, the garlic sauce. Bro Kick has had
garlic sauce. That's what it boiled out to the artist
with us to it was the garlic sauce, wasn't it
pretty much?
Speaker 2 (53:54):
Also the better written movie part of it too.
Speaker 1 (53:57):
So yeah, garlic sauce, garlic sauce, that's the that's the secret.
But no, you're as you guys are absolutely right kick
ass Ismay.
Speaker 3 (54:09):
Yeah, I mean well, Matthew Vaughn would have a hard
time picking between these two, and I'm curious to what
he's say. In fact, I might tweet him later which
of these movies do you like better? Matthew Vaughn, And
I'll put the link in and be like, let us know.
I'm absolutely gonna do that. Heads up, Matthew vaugh I'm
coming for you for.
Speaker 2 (54:27):
You send them the link to the episode.
Speaker 1 (54:30):
Yeah, yes, absolutely almost pulled a Booker t. No, Matthew
vaugh watch all eight episodes before you ask See how
we got here? Man, See how we got here?
Speaker 3 (54:47):
Sir?
Speaker 1 (54:48):
You beat some pizza wat you owe it to us,
Matthew vaugh.
Speaker 3 (54:55):
You know it to yourself, like you made these films man,
so uh no, good time. I mean I can't. I
can't be mad and either or if one had won
or not. But I am with two D kick Ass
for me, just it was the more complete movie, like
a couple of those holes and Kingsmen were just hard
(55:15):
and had they had when I watched Kingsman two, I
could come in here and be like, oh yeah, they
filled out exy. This entire thing is awesome, you know
what I mean, kick or Kingsman one is great, but
I don't have that context. And I don't really have
any context for kick Ass too because I don't remember it.
Speaker 1 (55:32):
So yeah, you have to be you have to be fair, right,
you know, put these films in a white room, which
one's better? I think you guys nailed it, you know,
even though I'm I've been a bit of a contrary
in this entire random select and that's okay. I do
feel kick Ass, Like I said, either one of these
(55:53):
of these films could have just took it all, you know,
And I think we have a strong winner here, kick Ass.
Speaker 2 (56:02):
All right.
Speaker 3 (56:03):
If you would have told me kick Ass was gonna
take this when we stared at this I would know
in fact that was that was with Lady Jotin. I
thought Old Boy was gonna win this hands down. I
did not think that there was going to be much
conversation to be had. But you know, random selectick.
Speaker 4 (56:21):
Speaking of I want to go, I want to do
my eight to one from uh just so you guys,
this is who I want.
Speaker 2 (56:28):
This is how I wanted to go.
Speaker 4 (56:29):
Teenagement, Nina, Turtles number eight, Scott Pilgrim seven, Nightmare Alley six,
Kingsman five, Persopoly four, kick Ass three, Astro Boy two,
Old Boy one.
Speaker 2 (56:38):
That's what have been. That would have been my dream.
Speaker 4 (56:40):
Random Select winners, for sure, that's tight.
Speaker 1 (56:46):
I wanted to put Turtles at eight, but then I'm
a little body.
Speaker 3 (56:51):
I wouldn't put Old Boy in one.
Speaker 2 (56:53):
You guys, you guys would have both put Teenage and
Turtles at one.
Speaker 3 (56:57):
Number one would be in the top three. You probably,
that's for certain. I think.
Speaker 1 (57:08):
Would hate it.
Speaker 3 (57:11):
Watch out this October, I'm putting a Leonardo costume on Amazon,
sending it to you, buddy, like you can you can
get all the pizza you want and like hang out
with your bandada on and be like I'm Leonardo.
Speaker 1 (57:23):
Why don't we dress up for the m T and Spectacular.
Speaker 2 (57:28):
Yeah, I dressed up last year. No one else did.
Oh you did?
Speaker 3 (57:32):
You did to Mike?
Speaker 2 (57:33):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (57:36):
See we wait what black face?
Speaker 3 (57:40):
Yes? I was black? I was black?
Speaker 1 (57:43):
You're what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (57:46):
It's it's my costume. You have some weird rules that
get you There's there's no such thing. So before this
goes completely off the rails stuff, why are you worried?
Speaker 2 (58:06):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (58:07):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (58:08):
I mean, go ahead and try it, like, knock yourself out.
Walk to the grocery store. See probably probably nothing goes.
Speaker 1 (58:16):
Get a drink, go to a bar, drink. See how
that goes? With that? And with that we have reached
the end of our twenty twenty five mot and Random select.
