SPEAKER_01 0:06

My name is Oscar. My name is Carl. And this is who would watch this.

SPEAKER_00 0:09

Welcome to who would watch this podcast. We watch a film, chat at the film, and then try and figure out who watched this. Today we're talking about the day after tomorrow, which currently has a 6.5 and 9 dB, a 46% on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 3 on Letterboxd. Oscar, what's the plot?

SPEAKER_01 0:22

When the effects of climate change start rapidly expanding, a climate scientist must try and save his son. Relatable. It's an Algore world, you know. That's what we've been saying. Um Carl, uh, should we go back to last week?

SPEAKER_00 0:39

Oh, to before we'd say in the movie.

SPEAKER_01 0:42

And when we try to predict who we think we've watched. We can go back. Back in time, like the Ice Age, trying to try to make a little yeah, it works.

SPEAKER_00 0:50

It's clever. It's very clever. It's very clever. It's very clever. It's very clever. It's Versus Month still.

SPEAKER_01 0:56

It's Versus Month still. Versus Month is the gift that keeps on giving. It's pretty fantastic. It's wonderful. We've decided to uh put Roland Emmerich in our sights. Uh two disaster movies, and we've got uh the And we just had him as well. We just had him. He's just around generally.

SPEAKER_00 1:10

He's around, he's uh he's a constant on this podcast. God love him.

SPEAKER_01 1:14

Uh so we haven't done Moonfall either, you know? We'll get there. We'll get there. Everyone raves about Moonfall. We all been jab out Moonfall. We are doing the day after tomorrow, and we're also in 2012. I've never seen uh Day After Tomorrow, like everyone I've ever seen 2012, though. I think that's just I don't know what year I think it was Avatar year. So I feel like everyone like that wasn't that was too cool for Avatar went and saw 2012.

SPEAKER_00 1:36

Yeah, I do remember it's like if you look at the box office after Avatar, like the next highest-grossing original movie of all time is 2012. Great, which is kind of nuts. Yeah. So considering the quality of it being quite good. Yeah. Um but the day after tomorrow, let's chat about it. Yes. I think pretty famous film for two reasons.

SPEAKER_01 1:55

Okay, I'm gonna say hopefully just the cover, because that's all I know. I was gonna say the cover. Great.

SPEAKER_00 1:59

Because this is a really famous cover, right?

SPEAKER_01 2:02

Yeah, I think so. I was very scared. I don't know what year it came out, but I remember being in the video store being like, things must go awry in that film, and I don't want any piece of it. You know, that's just me. Um, so uh, no Keen, what's the other famous thing about it?

SPEAKER_00 2:16

One was the cover. I think the other is okay, well maybe this is probably just for me, but there used to be there used to be like playing before a DVD was the like don't don't pirate or don't steal. Yeah. And the day after tomorrow in HD was its big selling part point. And that was in there along with like Alien vs. Preter and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_01 2:37

When it when it comes to the marketing of this film, many people remember the cover and they also remember it being the before and after for pirate. It was. We could probably put the clip right here. Yeah, of course. I'm not even kidding. Like, I'm sure it's a huge deal. I think many people would go, wow, that's I remember that. I remember that. For me, it was the the 101 Dalmatians. Uh Disney was just like, you wouldn't go to your dad's place and pirate this one. Look how shit the quality is. But a pure Disney video, oh, it does well.

SPEAKER_00 3:03

Disney never got no Disney never made it into my house, I fear. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:07

I think everything was very much a we might have to pause this because um yeah, no, so I know it's a disaster movie. Uh who do we think would watch this? Who would flick this on the other side? Well, I loved it as a kid. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:20

I used to watch this all the time. And so I feel like it's absolutely made for me at 12 or something like that. Yeah, nice. And I mean it's the whole reason. I think I think this is the reason Jake Gyllenhaal still stuck around. Not Bubble Boy? No, not Bubble Boy, not even close. Okay. Maybe that movie Life? Did you ever see Life?

SPEAKER_01 3:38

Yeah, no, I honestly here's the thing. I was gonna say, oh no, it's Donnie Darker, but I guess actually that didn't do very well. No.

SPEAKER_00 3:44

I mean, I think it could be accidental love. Did you ever see that David Arros movie who's got like the nail in his head? And they're like silently released that in the background of everyone doing well.

SPEAKER_01 3:52

I've I've seen Jarhead in a Maccas.

SPEAKER_00 3:55

That's and that's a film.

SPEAKER_01 3:56

I couldn't believe it. Which one is the one with Toe McGuire and Jake Jill Brothers?

SPEAKER_00 4:01

That's definitely not how the Mac is released.

SPEAKER_01 4:03

No, no, no. That was it playing in a McDonald's, and I was watching it as eating a happy meal. I couldn't believe it. Which part was the balloon part? It was when they were in the Afghan desert and something was happening. I couldn't believe it was on on television. Powerful. It's a powerful scene. That's really powerful. It was a powerful scene. It's the best place to watch movies, you know.

SPEAKER_00 4:18

Well, I mean, look, then this movie's powerful, and I think that's why it's remembered. Uh I look, I this it feels like Roland Emmerich's in a cycle where every time he released a movie for a while, it bested the last disaster movie and thus made that one move until he made 2012, and then he never made something as big again.

SPEAKER_01 4:36

No, right? I guess he had Independence Day. Is that him? Yeah, yeah. Uh it's crazy that's a high, and that's like an iconic film. But then I feel like financially it only really went up. Um, yeah, because what did he have? He had 2012, and then I feel like he was like, I'm done until uh what's the sequel to Independence Day Independence Day?

SPEAKER_00 4:55

Independence Day Resurgence. Yeah, nice. Yeah and then a Moonfall.

SPEAKER_01 4:58

Which felt like an underground. I don't know what was the shadiness behind that. Do you remember that? No, because of all the financiers were just like a bunch of people that are like, we're gonna kill you, Roland Emmerich. And I think they did.

SPEAKER_00 5:08

Well, I mean, he's never had a film since Moonfall, right?

SPEAKER_01 5:12

No, they literally broke his legs.

SPEAKER_00 5:14

I think that was the uh the the Oh Roland. He gets himself into that trouble, that boy. Uh, but yeah, who would watch the day after tomorrow? Look, I mean, as a as a young 12-year-old boy, I loved seeing things freeze and frankly, mass destruction. Like, you know when you used to like make just like villages out of toys and then just come in and be like, there's a tsunami, and like smack him with your hand. He's done that in film form, and that blew me away.

SPEAKER_01 5:42

Which is what's which is what film's for. You know, I feel like we've lost our way a bit, but it is just good to see things destroyed uh through the use of computers, you know. That's really what it's all for.

SPEAKER_00 5:50

I'm also really excited too about the fact that um I haven't seen this movie in a long time. I've never seen it, just by the way. Right.

SPEAKER_01 5:56

I'm going in, I'm I'm a virgin to this.

SPEAKER_00 5:58

As a heads up from memory, I do think that this movie peaks in the middle and then has a lot of fun. Like from memory, I'm like, there it gets. A 12-year-old being like, it just doesn't have that rat-a-tap. It's just a point where it's just a lot of camping. I'm not even kidding. Just so you as a heads up for you, like that's always stayed with me where I know when the movie's at its best when I go and then nothing ever, nothing good happens to the rest of the film.

SPEAKER_01 6:23

No, I'm very excited. I'm very excited.

SPEAKER_00 6:24

Uh, what about you? Who would watch this?

SPEAKER_01 6:26

Um, I guess people that like a frozen disaster film. I don't think I've seen a frozen disaster film in a hot minute. No. I guess Ice Age really took the wind out of all eyes. You see this new Ice Age coming out? Yeah. I couldn't believe it. I was blown away. You know, I couldn't believe either. They're using like the motif or the jackass, them in slow-mo getting just like hit with balls and shit.

SPEAKER_00 6:45

It's our generation's jackass, though. I could that's what people have been saying. Sid is my Johnny.

SPEAKER_01 6:49

Yeah. I'd say Bam's my kind of uh scratch. That's kind of me. For sure. Personally.

SPEAKER_00 6:56

Simon Pegg's little uh pirate rat. That's my guy that made her. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:05

Yeah, no, so I feel like it's for the disaster head that love a bit of frozen, you know? Just love the the the cold temperatures. Yeah. Uh, which I think is a dime it doesn't. Kyle, I've been calling this movie tomorrow when the war began, pretty much the entire runtime of the whole thing.

SPEAKER_00 7:17

Thank god you have as well. Yeah, great.

SPEAKER_01 7:19

Is it the Australian in us that just can't wrap our heads around like it's a janky type with the the day after tomorrow? What is it even referring to? I don't know. It's very odd that it it's sort of past because I don't really get I guess maybe like a new like age, a new world. I don't really know why. It's a mouthful, it doesn't really work.

SPEAKER_00 7:38

It doesn't, it's a deeply confusing title. Yeah, and I guess did they say it in the movie at one stage where they go the world's gonna end the day after tomorrow?

SPEAKER_01 7:47

Two days it should be called. It should be called two days.

SPEAKER_00 7:51

What a horrible running title. Somebody's like, what's a more convoluted way to say this that would stretch into just a couple of words?

SPEAKER_01 7:57

Yeah, and then you get the E, which is a great one to be.

SPEAKER_00 7:59

It's fun, it's good to go on and up. Yeah, precisely the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow. It's good. It's very good.

SPEAKER_01 8:05

Carl, how are we feeling? Are you a bit chilly on this one?

SPEAKER_00 8:07

I think I was I accidentally succumbed to the same to the issues I knew which would happen. Which is I was really into it. Up until it just becomes about camping. I couldn't believe that I was correct in my remembrances.

SPEAKER_01 8:22

I was really upset because I feel like they're like, okay, we've got it's getting cold, and here's a couple of shots of the world being really cold, and now New York's frozen over. What are we gonna do? Yeah. And the film goes, not a whole lot. It's a lot of waiting.

SPEAKER_00 8:37

Yeah, a lot of book burning. A lot of book burning. Which I was against. So I was like, I guess you're gonna have to die.

SPEAKER_01 8:43

It's pro and con, you know. So I'm pro-book burning, you know. In this current climate climate, I think it should be happened more. Yeah. Um, yeah, no, it's it's really weird. It feels like they I don't know why it's uh I guess it's a father-son. It's odd that these three characters, the mother, the father, and the son, you know, are just like we need to connect. And that's the sort of the the glue holding this film together.

SPEAKER_00 9:08

So messy because we never have the three of them interact together. Right. Um, we only have her the mother interact with Jake at the beginning, and then uh Dennis Quaid very briefly interacts with Jake on a car ride, and then there's no contact again. Then all three of them are split up, and the mum is given a plot of what's gonna will this dying cancer kid get an ambulance. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:28

And it's it's a it's a bold question when I no offense, I think there's bigger things to worry about. There were bigger things to worry about.

SPEAKER_00 9:35

So it's sort of like we fear millions are dead, and she's like, but I can save this kid for another year. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:42

It's like that's like the keto is not working, he's in just like, oh man.

SPEAKER_00 9:46

His body's rejecting it. There was a whole plot that they cut out of it.

SPEAKER_01 9:49

That kid is struggling. I have a really uh unsettling thing to uh confess. Uh Dennis Quaid is probably the hottest I've ever seen in here. He okay, thank God. Yeah, great. So, because I went out and and watched the trailer for Yours, Mine, and Ours, which is filmed the next year, or I assume it comes up the next day. The next year. Next year, 2005.

SPEAKER_00 10:09

He looks way older than that.

SPEAKER_01 10:10

So so old, so gross, that sort of like, you know, I don't mind me political views, but he's like a military dad, you know? That's that's him now fromever. He looks rugged in this. He's kind of He looks so good in this. Look a bit like Harrison Ford.

SPEAKER_00 10:23

I think it looks fucking good. I was also gonna tell you the movie ends with him smiling, and I was like, fuck, the Quaid's have an incredible smile. All of them. Randy, Dennis, the guy for the boys, what's his name? Jack Quaid. Jack. There's gotta be some other Quaid heads.

SPEAKER_01 10:40

I want to be vulnerable there, but I just think I fully agree. I'm glad you brought it up. He's got a dirty beard, he's kind of fucking like, I'm the freaking, I'm fucking, you know, sometimes I just I figure out climate sum. He made climate-I can't believe this didn't stop climate global warming.

SPEAKER_00 10:53

I was shocked. I was one of this things where I went, if Al Gore looked like him, everyone would have lived.

SPEAKER_01 10:58

Everyone would have done it, everyone would have done. It is, it's a I will say, pro for the film being like, right, climate change, totally real, yeah, and here's a fanfic of what happens if you guys don't fucking buck up and recycle.

SPEAKER_00 11:09

Well, okay, so this is I I think this is a little bit of an ish. Is because I think the movie also doesn't want to tell you that climate change is real. I think they want to be like, this is happening, but it's not because of you guys. It was always gonna happen.

SPEAKER_01 11:24

It's not fossil fuels, it's just something the earth does. When the crust gets a bit frickin' lazy, ice starts to form.

SPEAKER_00 11:32

It doesn't take a political stance, and the sort of nuders any point it could have.

SPEAKER_01 11:36

It it goes takes a strong stance on book burning, but like I don't I think it almost like no whiny way.

SPEAKER_00 11:42

It feels like it might be a bad look. This guy, this movie might not be okay. In between it not having a political stance and the pro book burning, it's rather a tough line. It is politically, it's messy. It's messy because they go. The reason this is all happening is because the ice caps are melting and nobody ever goes, but why are they melting?

SPEAKER_01 12:00

They all just go, okay, so it's because of the ice caps. It's happening so quickly. Yeah. Um, everyone's like, we don't even need to figure out who's at blame. Let's just get this stuff sorted, you know? That's the main thing. Yeah. Uh, should we get into introduce our characters? We got uh Dennis Quaid.

SPEAKER_00 12:16

Dennis Quaid and he's two pals. Yeah. Uh we have older pal and younger pal. Precisely. Uh and I I haven't apart from I guess when we when we watched White House Down recently, I sort of longed for the way Roland Emmerich used to craft his characters because I think they were all really forgettable, nothing characters in in White House Down. Yeah. But here they're all very forgettable, but there is a bit of lovability to them. And there's a bit of nihilism as well, because I think a lot of them all just get horrible deaths, and you're they the movie goes out of your way to be like, that's a kind person dead.

SPEAKER_01 12:55

Yeah. You go, whoa, okay. I think because they have time, I guess because they're like, look, audiences only is four of these big events, and then the rest of it's just chilling with these guys. And I'll be honest, we haven't got the dialogue to do it. We don't. So we're just gonna make a kind old man, sipping whiskey, dying.

SPEAKER_00 13:10

Absolutely. They're like, we got the guy from Lord of the Rings, he's gonna have his whole other plot. So basically, this old fella, he's got two friends, everybody's got two packs.

SPEAKER_01 13:22

You seen Hustle? It's the best BB show BBC show you've ever. These guys, a bunch of con artists, con people. Really? And then at the end of each episode, they show them how they do it. Essentially, it's Ocean's 11, the series. Well, the budget could be small.

SPEAKER_00 13:33

I can't imagine ever getting sick of it. The budget couldn't get smaller.

SPEAKER_01 13:37

But like, what are we doing a small time pounds in the back of a lorry? And that's most episodes.

SPEAKER_00 13:43

Wow, he sort of brings that energy in this as well. I do, everybody does seem to have they're all in threes, aren't they? It's a good number.

SPEAKER_01 13:50

Because sort of Jake Gyllenhaal's got a girl he's wooing, and his friends and it seems he's got a friend, but then he also has a friend who's I think at the start it seemed like he's like, he's trying to usurp Jake. He's just like, yeah, I'm gonna fuck that girl. And then midway through we go, nah, I'm not.

SPEAKER_00 14:04

He's like, he's like, why don't you make a move? You guys would be good together. And I was like, I read you wrong, pal.

SPEAKER_01 14:09

Yeah, and that's on me. And that's not on me, you know. I was just like, yo, he's muscling on your turf, Jake. But no, he's actually just a kind soul who wants the best for him.

SPEAKER_00 14:16

I didn't realize we had the nicest man in the world in our midst here in the middle of the burning.

SPEAKER_01 14:21

That's the Roland Emerich charm. He's just like, here's a couple of the nicest people, and guess what? Even and you know, it's real, because the nasty people, they make it, they get kaput.

SPEAKER_00 14:30

Yeah, we have um there's like a guy who's just a rude, self-talking uh man that's like, I want to open the bus for me. He's like, I hate New York, and I hate Raton.

SPEAKER_01 14:41

He's that he's the I I do apologize for the accent, the rat looking one from suits. Yeah. And that's mean to say, but I feel like in suits they play him as the rat-looking one.

SPEAKER_00 14:48

He's well, you don't trust him, and I think they've cast him because he's radish. I would assume. I've assumed. I haven't seen suits. Yeah. I've only seen him here.

SPEAKER_01 14:56

I've only seen him here, and I've only seen suits clips, I don't know, probably the length of the entire show to four times over. Uh that's how you should watch Suits. Wow, you're a big clip guy, it seems. Yeah, no, I'm deeply sad. Deeply sad. But it's kind of it's a good rush, you know. It's like it's like a fleet and high, like sniffing petrol. Oh, good.

SPEAKER_00 15:13

And I assume you just get just have to chase it the rest of the night. 100%, 100%. That's good.

SPEAKER_01 15:17

I watched a lot, I couldn't tell you a single thing I've watched. How good. It's kind of the best thing for your brain. It's really nice. Now, Carl, let's get into it. Dennis Quaid, even though he's the best climate scientist ever, I don't know we can, but he's also a bad father.

SPEAKER_00 15:32

Well, I don't think he is. Oh, okay. Because this guy actually goes out of his way to not be a bad dad the whole movie, and even cares about his son's grades. And I'm like, he's doing the minimum. So if he's doing the minimum, he's not a bad dad.

SPEAKER_01 15:46

He's working for the vice president. And he's also like he he didn't drop his son off at the airport. Oh, get a taxi.

SPEAKER_00 15:52

He effectively spends his whole life trying to help. And at the end of this movie saves millions. Is he really a bad dad? Because even when he saves everyone by going, you've all got to come down past this line, and he saves everybody because of the evacuation, he kept bringing it up, he still goes and saves his son. Oh no, I'm not talking about the end of the arc of the film.

SPEAKER_01 16:16

I'm saying at the start of the film, he's a dipshit. No, he's great the whole way. I love that you achieved his architecture, so what do you mean to Doy? He was it was always in him, believe it or not.

SPEAKER_00 16:28

For all we know, he's not an app like because we're just seeing a snippet, you know, we're seeing a snippet of his life. For all we know, he asked for the divorce, and he went, you know what, you look after Jake because you've got a bond with him, and I'm gonna dip in and out while I save the world. And they've gone, that's fine, keep up with his grades at a minimum, and he's like, I can do that, and then kept up with the grades.

SPEAKER_01 16:47

Yeah, I guess I didn't think did the film have a like a secret, like uh, you know, agreement that we were privy to. You weren't aware of the divorce papers. And that's me. That's a bad film looking, that's a bad film analysis, you know. You really should look between the deliard scenes. You've always got to project. Yeah. It's the best way to enjoy a film. Do we like Dennis's green car? It looks very eco-friendly.

SPEAKER_00 17:06

Uh, I did not. Oh. I think he should have taken the taxi. When Jake's like the taxi's already here, and I'm not hopping in that green piece of shit. He should have hopped in the taxi.

SPEAKER_01 17:15

He should have hopped in the taxi. He should have hopped in the taxi. Now, things get pretty bad pretty quick, I feel. Which is nice. They hopping right into it.

SPEAKER_00 17:22

Yeah. But I do fear it's they're gonna run out of steam. When I was watching it, I was like, this all happens faster than I remember it.

SPEAKER_01 17:30

Yeah, you having the the sort of like, hey, by the way, a lot of camping in the latter half of the film, when they started camp pitching a tent, I went, we're an hour in. We're an hour in. It's it's pretty tough.

SPEAKER_00 17:41

Well, I like it because they we we get the groundwork of the fact that all the scientists find out that in a matter of 10 years, 50 years, 100 years, the earth's gonna go fall into an ice age. And it turns out it's really gonna happen in the next couple of days.

SPEAKER_01 17:55

The day after tomorrow.

SPEAKER_00 17:56

The day after tomorrow. So it's pretty it's pretty scary stuff. Yeah. Uh, and so we get to see the vice president ignore him. The vice president has a weird arc in the movie, I would actually say.

SPEAKER_01 18:09

I think I thought they were doing like a Dick Cheney thing and sort of making fun of it. Because it looks a bit like him, you know? Yeah. Or vice fame. I get that. And I don't know what his climate policy was. I guess we just won't know. No, we can't know. Are they doing that? I can't really tell.

SPEAKER_00 18:26

I do love that when bad things start happening, the first to know are the animals.

SPEAKER_01 18:32

Animals, and I think every film, every disaster film, the birds know. The birds always know.

SPEAKER_00 18:39

In this one, they make a big point of the bears know. After the birds, they cut to them in a sewer, the bears like, ah! I was like, why does the bear know?

SPEAKER_01 18:49

They get birds, like they could hear something, you know, birds. They're always flying out of trees and shit. But I just don't think, you know, what does a bear really have? Bears. Smell the snow. Smell the if they live in the snow, you know.

SPEAKER_00 19:02

It's sad because that bear definitely died. And so he was like, I know what's coming. It's free me.

SPEAKER_01 19:09

It'd be crazy if someone was like, there's a snow coming soon. Just release all the animals, it's more ethical. And then he's like, so there's a bunch of ice and animals on the loot.

SPEAKER_00 19:19

It was crazy as well, because halfway through the movie, they're just like, oh, this is boring. Bring in the wolves.

SPEAKER_01 19:25

I I was running down. Okay, let we'll save the wolves. Save the wolves. I think Roland Emmerich goes, I he goes, I love making disaster films, and then midway through he goes, I want to make another film. Let's just do some boring films. Let's just do Jurassic Park. He's like, with no dinosaurs. Like, wolves two wolves!

SPEAKER_00 19:46

I don't care. Not the wolves escape. The bear helped.

SPEAKER_01 19:50

The bear knew what was coming and helped him. Very clever. He was very clever that bear. It was a clever bear. Let's get into it. Jake Gyllenhall uh and uh the person from Shameless, Emmy Rosen Rosum. And they're going to like, I want to say they call it a weird thing, but it seems like just like a general, like, smart quiz.

SPEAKER_00 20:08

You can tell that they don't they don't want to label the factor at like mathletics in case we as an audience turn against the nerds.

SPEAKER_01 20:17

They are coy about it, because it's like, nah, it's just a college thing where we kind of come together and like you know, answer questions. I'm like, whoa, it sounds like I thought they'd have seen the bar exam for a long time. Yeah. And I was like, these nerds aren't doing that.

SPEAKER_00 20:26

It sort of seems like this is a mock UN. And the director was like, Don't let the audience catch wind of that. They've got to be intelligent, but not so smart that they turn against it. Yeah, I wouldn't mind Jake Jill. Oh, he's a nerd. Kill him. Kill him. Jake Jillen Hall's so smart that he's smarter than his professor at his college. Yeah. Which seems ridiculous. It does seem ridiculous.

SPEAKER_01 20:48

Because it doesn't even come into play. No, and I don't think because at one point he's like, hey, big crowd, my dad said the ice is gonna get you.

SPEAKER_00 20:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:56

Um, and I don't really think he has like the like he's probably like what 17? Yeah. I just don't like who cares.

SPEAKER_00 21:01

I would've been like, my dad said you suck.

SPEAKER_01 21:03

That would have gone a big laugh in the library. For sure, and I'd be like, come on, everyone, let's go for a walk. The wolf, the best. Um, no, but essentially I'm trying to think what happens, but I feel like Jake Gyllenhaal uh and his gang.

SPEAKER_00 21:16

Yeah, they're in They truly are a gang. Because a part of a part of the movie is them loving New York, like at the Natural History Museum, they're out getting ice cream, they're gonna go chill at the dad's apartment.

SPEAKER_01 21:27

Yeah, no, things go bad, but for the it's just a great day in New York because they're in the sort of streets. I feel like he's done this about a thousand times, and you know what? It never gets old. They just flood a big street in New York. I don't know how they do this.

SPEAKER_00 21:38

No, I and it looks fantastic. It looks like the it's a full incredible set. The when I was watching the making of it is shocking how much of this movie is sets. Yeah, great.

SPEAKER_01 21:48

Like it is it has to be. It looks so good. There's like I'd say, like, I don't know, a hundred cars, probably like two hundred extras, wading through water to get to the natur uh the library, the famous New York library, I'm not sure. There's most. The film.

SPEAKER_00 22:00

Yeah. Well, it seems like the in terms of what I could find about Roland Emmerich, the guy fucking loves extras. So he just keeps on being like more extras and things.

SPEAKER_01 22:09

And it only and like I feel like at the moment, like, and you know what I was thinking? We've not done a single Netflix film. I have no idea what the general big popular Netflix films are, but all those for a long time, completely sparse with nobody. Yeah. It's so nice to see just like like look at 300 people for just no reason. I've been just like, there's New York.

SPEAKER_00 22:30

You guys know new you guys know crowds. You're right. And I mean, they also go out of their way to be like, this is one person's viewpoint of this disaster, and we're gonna watch them for two minutes and then they're gonna die. Yeah. And that was like we have the this entire section we've accidentally skimmed over, but LA gets attacked by all these tornadoes. Yes. Um, and I thought that looked fantastic. I did. Thought the CGI looked really good, thought all the cars blowing around look great. Um, there was one guy who kept shooing everyone away. He's like, stop taking photos, but then he'd stand there and look as well until he died. Yeah. Um, and I think there's a real fun energy to the movie at this point because there's so many characters experiencing the LA chaos. We've got one guy on the phone to him, watching him on TV, watches him die until his building is taken down by a tornado. Like it's all really fun. Yeah, it's the same with the weathermen. All the weathermen are going psycho, they're all like, We're the bravest people in the world.

SPEAKER_01 23:25

I love that it feels like they were on essentially like constant vacation, just like there's no ever weather in LA, and they're just like, oh fuck weather, and then it's like their first day on the job, like uh breaking news, um, that I don't know what's called, but I'm I'm not happy about like it feels like they were already thrown to the fire.

SPEAKER_00 23:43

Well, I loved it was done like a horror movie where uh she's like, what's that noise? And he's like, it's weather, baby. It doesn't matter, just keep making that.

SPEAKER_01 23:52

You know, I make the weather. It's just like, man, would you really that?

SPEAKER_00 23:55

You could be my green screen.

SPEAKER_01 23:57

You've got you've got what it takes, legs. You've got you wide, wide woman, you flat, wide green woman. You make a great green screen. You could go so far. You could be a beautiful animal carpet andor a green screen here at the studio. I hear Disney's making a new blue woman come out. That's right, Toots. You're done. You're out of this town, you're too old for this town. You've got nothing but me.

SPEAKER_00 24:20

You might as well settle. I gotta tell you, the worst of her problems is the weather.

SPEAKER_01 24:28

Get out of that room! It's not good. You know, LA's really fucked up in a real fun way, you know. Yeah, I definitely definitely feels light. And then I feel we come back to a cancer page and you go, uh, well, there's the fun.

SPEAKER_00 24:39

It keeps I gotta tell Roland Everett always bogs it. There's always like one or two really boring plot lines that are just there for fodder. And you go, just cut out that plot. Yeah. Um uh but the one thing that I did want to say is I think last week I was talking about that there's like memorable stuff to me in the movie. The thing that was so memorable to me about this film is that Weatherman getting hit by the sign mid-broadcast. Because it's funny, and also as a kid, really scared me because he didn't deserve to die, and that really threw me.

SPEAKER_01 25:11

I do love, I feel like karma's out the window for these ones. Maybe not for like certain characters, but for the general gist. If you've been introduced for three seconds, it doesn't matter your effics.

SPEAKER_00 25:22

It doesn't matter, you're just gonna die. Which is real. Yeah, which is real. Well, it's the same with half of those people all end up like freezing to death. Yep. And we came to know them. Yeah, we really came to love them. You know, there was a couple.

SPEAKER_01 25:34

There was New York cop. Uh there was sort of Security Guard. Security guard, there was guy with dog. No, guy with dog stayed. No, no, it's a separate dog. Separate dog. With the two dogs? Two dogs. And that's this. You know, he goes, let's get a big crowd of people. Uh-oh, one dog.

SPEAKER_00 25:50

Not enough. Not enough. Surely there'd be two here. Maybe three. If we've got bears and wolves out and about, there's two dogs here.

SPEAKER_01 25:57

100%. I like to think that dog lived. Um, let's get into what I would say is in my mind, most of the film, Jake Gyllenhole, uh, Emmy Rosum, and their friend, and then the guy who tried to fuck Emmy, but not really, who's just a vibe. He's just a good dude. He's a great guy.

SPEAKER_00 26:15

It's funny to find out that either way these these guys are all gonna live. Because I think if they'd stayed at the penthouse, they would have survived that too.

SPEAKER_01 26:22

I don't really get the cold in the sense that I think he goes, if you're outside, you're done. But in my mind, there's a big door, and I I don't know why we're there.

SPEAKER_00 26:32

Cold can't get through a door because it can't work out the handles. It's tough.

SPEAKER_01 26:36

It is tough. Yeah. Uh in my mind, there's a lot of broken windows, though. And they and the cold just is cool with that.

SPEAKER_00 26:42

Again, it's sort of like you know when a fly can't find the hole. That's the same with the cold. Yeah, gotcha. So it just can't get through.

SPEAKER_01 26:48

A lot of eyes, a lot of eyes.

SPEAKER_00 26:49

I mean, look, I think I guess you burn enough books, Satan will warn you, like just warm you up.

SPEAKER_01 26:54

Yeah, it's nice. Let's talk about the book burning scene, and really, I'd say the the the sort of the bridge of the movie, you know? Um we get sort of I don't even know who these two characters are. We get sort of like the bookworm, like the librarian? Bookworm librarian, and then woman who I think ethically doesn't like book burning, but then it's just like you're gonna say that.

SPEAKER_00 27:17

Why didn't they why didn't they burn the furniture?

SPEAKER_01 27:20

I don't know. I don't know why they went straight to the books, and also I don't know. That's why I thought it was a bad vibe. I thought it was a horrible vibe. There's a bunch of like antique furniture here. They're like, should we burn the Bible? Should we burn Nietzsche? And also, guys, there's more books. I don't know why they think this is the only last remnant copy. Yeah. I grant you. You're not the only library. Yeah. I'm sure there'll be a Bible hanging around. I'm sure we'll find some meats.

SPEAKER_00 27:42

It's the first book to go. Yeah. When all hopes lost, they don't turn to that book. They go, get it out of here. It's quick to burn. It's quick to burn. It's quick to burn. Look, it's just it's good burning. It's thin pages. Yeah. It goes up in flames. Well, magicians use it, you know, for tricks. Um that madman. Was that, you know, um this is a niche reference? Uh what's uh madmen films when it's like they click, it's like I know the exact one. Yeah. Yeah. Um I hope people like that.

SPEAKER_01 28:13

Is that an Australian only distributor? No, I feel like they do a lot of things. I'm so maybe it's because I've watched a lot of Australian films.

SPEAKER_00 28:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:20

Ugh, you know what? It's it's a riddle.

SPEAKER_00 28:22

Uh you can email us at us wwwtpodcast at gmail.com if you get that reference.

SPEAKER_01 28:26

Or want us to send through a gif of the logo.

SPEAKER_00 28:29

Yeah, if you wanna, because we can't. It's not something you can find online. You've got to film it when it happens, but it also always happens.

SPEAKER_01 28:35

No, and I normally export my videos in gif form. It's less pixels. It is. Yeah, keeps the data down. Uh yeah, no, there's a long, I guess it definitely feels like uh maybe like a like a we're having a smart conversation, you know. Whose books, you know, who decided to survive when it comes to the the ice age.

SPEAKER_00 28:54

But um It's a tough debate to introduce in a movie that's been pretty dumb. It's a har it's a harsh pause where they go, we we should now uh just talk about this for a hot minute.

SPEAKER_01 29:06

Yeah, 100%. Like, what's the effects of burning the Bible? It's like, I don't know, guys. Again, Jake Jenna Hall burned a bunch of stuff.

SPEAKER_00 29:12

Yeah, well, you didn't want to take a political stance on if this was global warming or not. So I don't know if I want to listen to you on the argument as to whether or not you should or shouldn't be a big thing. What about philosopher?

SPEAKER_01 29:20

At one point they're like, Nietzsche wanted to fuck his sister. Think he's a good guy? I was like, I like that's we don't. We why? I don't know. We'll keep the book around, you know. Jake was like, yep. Alright, hands up. Who wants to fuck their sister and thinks we should put it in a book? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now they've got a ship that's circling them. Yeah, there's this big ship that rocks up. And at one point, uh, Emmy's cut her leg.

SPEAKER_00 29:44

I have no idea why or how. She's so she cut it when she hops uh when she goes to help that French lady. Yeah, gotcha. Which is in vain. Yeah. Never say never try and save the French.

SPEAKER_01 29:56

Even if it's not a big ice age, they're they're doomed.

SPEAKER_00 29:59

She's like doomed. Now we go out for our walk. Yeah. And you're like, ah, why'd you do it? She almost died to save you, and you're gonna die anyway.

SPEAKER_01 30:08

It's just ridiculous, that cold bitch. Now, yeah, so then I think Jake's just like, you know what's probably on that ship? Medicine. We should probably probably he's so anti going outside, and he's like, let's let's go board, let's go pirate a ship. Again, this is me thinking Roland Emmerich just wants to do another film.

SPEAKER_00 30:24

At this point, it's just it's just it's just he was definitely like, Oh man, if we just did a movie where like a bunch of wolves were loose on a ship, I think that would make a lot of money. And they're like, I Roland, I don't think it would. And he's like, Alright, I'm gonna put 20 minutes of it in my film, and let's see if it's a hit, and then let's see what you do.

SPEAKER_01 30:43

And my god, you these wolves, wow, tension is gone. I don't give a shit.

SPEAKER_00 30:48

Oh yeah, the the way that this whole sequence is like surely you agree with me where the movie it really falls off a cliff.

SPEAKER_01 30:53

I couldn't believe you believe there's not like another disaster, another disaster. It sort of is like quieting down. At one point, Dennis Quaid and his storyline is that they're wading through the snow, and one of his friends falls down a hole, and it's like a big moment of like.

SPEAKER_00 31:11

So Frank dies. And it's a tough watch. It's a tough watch. We've come to love Frank. We have not established Frank.

SPEAKER_01 31:18

Um, he's one of the two pals. Yeah, Dennis is Quaid's pals, so it's really tough to see.

SPEAKER_00 31:23

They're they're on their journey to go and get Jake, they don't realize they're on top of like a shopping mall. Uh, which I thought was odd too, because the reason not all of them die is because Dennis Quaid's able to hook his like pickaxe into glass, which doesn't shatter more glass.

SPEAKER_01 31:41

That like, no, that part's snow. Yeah, Carly, you're not a climate scientist, you don't really understand. You're right. Yeah, yeah. So he gets the climate, you don't. Sorry.

SPEAKER_00 31:49

He was right. And he also abandons it. He's like, he's like, hey, young guy, have you got everybody's weight in this situation? And he's like, Yeah, yeah, I sure do. I'm bleeding a little, but I got it all.

SPEAKER_01 32:02

I thought Dennis Quaid. So again, so so so his his Frank is like hanging down the shopping mall like that. You got Quaid who's on the other side, then you've got the guy who's like What a picture of your panic. Thank you, thank you. He's like uh holding over. I thought Dennis Quaid was gonna break his window and then fly down, almost like you know, cracking. And then the weights, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 32:21

I thought then they hit each other and then just the swing of momentum to get back up.

SPEAKER_01 32:25

I thought that's what was gonna happen. So it's crazy. Frank's just like, I got a knife, I'm into this now, I'm not, I'm not doing this.

SPEAKER_00 32:31

I'd go so far as to say Dennis Quaid gets Frank killed, because I don't think the weight needed to go on to the middleman.

SPEAKER_01 32:38

No.

SPEAKER_00 32:38

And I think because that choice was made, it put everybody in jeopardy. Yeah. So I think Dennis Quaid here is at fault.

SPEAKER_01 32:44

Yes, but he is very attractive and therefore does not get in the blank.

SPEAKER_00 32:48

If I was Frank's wife, I'd sue for manslaughter. And then fuck Dennis Quaid. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 32:52

He is a single and eligible bachelor.

SPEAKER_00 32:54

I'd be like, Dennis, I'll drop it, but you've got to come over for 40 minutes. That's the Quaid's. And he'd be like, with his big Quaid stuff.

SPEAKER_01 33:05

You're giving a horrible smile. I can't really stress you guys. We'll put it, we'll put it here.

SPEAKER_00 33:08

It's tough because his chin goes up like this.

SPEAKER_01 33:12

It's a cheesy grin. It's an incredible smile. It's a really good thing. See how he did well in Hollywood. Clause but like, where was Dan's Quaid from? Yeah. I guess was it the parent trap that's what it made him? God, he's good in that. He's very good.

SPEAKER_00 33:25

He's good in I feel like most things, and then not anything for a while. Yeah. Man, he was bad in Soul Surfer. He was bad. That was a bad performance. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:34

He's an odd little man, isn't he? But again, very attractive. Um yeah, so this this wolf thing goes on for a while. Yeah. Uh I I I feel like we get introduced with a bunch of characters. At one point, petrol uh starts um freezing over some helicopters, they crash.

SPEAKER_00 33:50

Yeah. We're told that the freeze can getcha at any one point in time. So but you are right, it really does lack a third act because once Dennis Quaid I just kind of couldn't believe we were sort of just sort of limping to the end.

SPEAKER_01 34:07

I did I was just like, oh, it's over. Like all the freezing stuff's over. Don't really worry about it, you know.

SPEAKER_00 34:12

Well, I I I timed it as well. And so when the wave hits, there's an hour and twelve minutes to go. And I was like, it's a lot, it's a lot to ask us to sit through that. Yeah. Especially when in between what was all the disaster stuff, suddenly we're now stuck with three men in a cabin, one woman with her patient. Like it's they're not very enthralling perspectives on this weather.

SPEAKER_01 34:36

No, and we sort of get that sort of like spread over like what's happening in the rest of the stuff. Yeah. And all the American people are going down to Mexico, which felt again like a similar political thing of like, isn't climate change bad, but not really saying anything about it, you know, which is fine.

SPEAKER_00 34:49

I like that they said um Mexico let them in because the USA wiped their debt.

SPEAKER_01 34:55

Whoa. The second this ice thing freezes over, that's gonna be a hot button issue, you know. Yeah, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 35:01

I think that, yeah, there's ramifications for financially things forever. Yeah. I and it'll probably be one of those things where I think yeah. I don't know what's gonna cover that. There's a lot of disaster. Frankly, I'd like to see that film.

SPEAKER_01 35:14

Yeah, there's a lot of disaster film. I would love after the sort of patching up. I mean, it sounds the most boring film of just a lot of lot of somebody could do it.

SPEAKER_00 35:22

Someone could do after the day after the day after tomorrow.

SPEAKER_01 35:27

And it's like a lot of weeks. It's a lot of weeks. Yeah, it's a lot of weeks. They're calling it weeks the movie.

SPEAKER_00 35:32

Yeah. Well, I'm one of the best things about that. Um being like, well, this is what's happening. Yeah, this is the title. You go, oh, it's consistent. I love consistency, is the fact that they're like, This is this is this is what life's like, and you're like, I love seeing this. That movie kind of shits the bed. But you know, it's that that beginning. It's nice to see fun.

SPEAKER_01 35:53

It's always so much fun. It's always so much fun. How good's aging?

SPEAKER_00 35:56

It's pretty good.

SPEAKER_01 35:57

It's kind of a right.

SPEAKER_00 35:59

I can do more things now than I used to. Precisely. But my back hurts. There's there's a funny repetitive to the repetitiveness to the fact that for the people that are trapped to the library, they keep getting leg injuries or just ankle injuries. Yeah, I don't know what it's like three. Yeah. Yeah. Especially because the wolf attacks our good guy, our great guy. Yeah. Um it feels like maybe that will now be the biggest issue because she's got penicillin for her blood poisoning. Uh, he's now got seconds until rabies takes over. Nicely. From the ice.

SPEAKER_01 36:33

Ice wolves, you think they're clean? Uh- I mean, I don't want to discriminate, but you know, they're all pretty dirty. How did they survive when everybody else was freezing to death? They're Arctic wolves, so they're fine. Oh, were they? I mean, that that's genuinely my me. I'm yeah, probably right. It's a polar bear, but it just, you know, it had a sort of, you know.

SPEAKER_00 36:53

When I'm in the wrong location, I don't look polar y.

SPEAKER_01 36:56

I think they've maybe they do sh maybe maybe I is that's I'm sure polar bears are different species, but if you put a bear in the ice, will it just turn snowy? I don't know enough about animals for We can speculate. Yeah, I'm a we're a podcast. We can lie. It's yeah, we can always lie.

SPEAKER_00 37:12

You know, uh, okay breaking news. Put a bear in the Arctic, it'll become polar. It will become polar. It'll become polar. That's how they think the humans work, right? Yep, sure thing. We always climatize. That's what they've been saying. Um, yeah, look, and I mean this is sort of our last threat, I guess, is the is the wolves and then outrunning the cold. Yeah. Um, yeah, the cold is really ridiculous.

SPEAKER_01 37:39

The cold is the cold is and it's not very like cinematic disastery, which is odd, you know. That's the worst part. Like constantly they're sort of like, like, fuck, it's gonna be chilly soon.

SPEAKER_00 37:50

And it's like the camera's chasing behind them, like it's it's gonna get them.

SPEAKER_01 37:54

And you're like, well, it'll just get a little cold. It's kind of like the happening. You remember that the wind happening? I don't think the wind is or maybe the wind is makes them crazy. I can't remember what it's like. The wind was killing them.

SPEAKER_00 38:03

Yeah, the change in the wind was what did it. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 38:06

It's kind of that for the whole thing. It's very odd. There's a scene where Dennis and his mate who's alive, the two out of the three, are in a tent and it's very, very sensual.

SPEAKER_00 38:18

It's actually a really beautiful moment in the movie. Especially because Jake's in this film. Yeah. So we know that there's broke back mountains being talked about. Precisely.

SPEAKER_01 38:26

He's like when Matico film a film uh, you know, with uh the new Joker. They're like, that's too early. We don't know what that even means. You're saying nonsense, Jake. But we're gonna go fuck him as tent, I guess, if that's in your script. Yeah, Mr. Angley.

SPEAKER_00 38:40

When I was when I was watching the feature, they were like, when they when Dennis Quaid and his mate outrun the cold and they go and camp downstairs, the ending of the movie was apparently, unless I've misunderstood the clip, but they were like, that mate wakes up at Dennis Quaid's for Einberg's and he's like, We're gonna get there now, and then they just get him. And so it's to get Jake. Yeah, and so it's just apparently like they just needed another obstacle, or just to keep the momentum going. They were like, it was a real movie, sort of fell off of a cliff without sort of waking up. They were like, when he wakes up, Dennis Quaid needs to be.

SPEAKER_01 39:18

The wolves feel like a giant, like just like it's odd they have an hour ten film. Yeah, it's an odd thing that they were like, because you think it's stretching out, you know.

SPEAKER_00 39:28

Well, you can feel that this is their stepping block to 2012 when they go, We should have set up a situation that unfolded longer to have three set pieces. Yes. So we sh really we we fucked up having the wave happen in the middle and then not another set piece.

SPEAKER_01 39:46

Have another I wouldn't even mind if it got wet and then icy. Yeah. Because then it's all wet and icy.

SPEAKER_00 39:51

Yeah, because we see LA get destroyed, just show us another city get destroyed.

SPEAKER_01 39:54

Yeah, totally. It's odd Japan's like they get a couple of bits of hail and that's it.

SPEAKER_00 39:59

Oh, we I did forget about that. That guy who ends up dying in that scene, he had refuge. Why did he run out?

SPEAKER_01 40:06

He was under a building. I have no idea.

SPEAKER_00 40:08

And he had a briefcase. Yeah. Why did he do it?

SPEAKER_01 40:11

Japanese people love having a briefcase in a different disaster.

SPEAKER_00 40:14

I was recently there. They love having a briefcase. City of briefcases.

SPEAKER_01 40:20

That's what they've been calling it. City of stars.

SPEAKER_00 40:22

On their license plates, like ours is Sunshine State. No, I think they're the first one.

SPEAKER_01 40:27

No, we're the first are we the first state. First and best. When they say we're cocky. Brackets. We're the one with the Sydney. We've got Sydney. Sydney. Suck on it. Suck on my cock. We have major tourism. It's a long license plate, but you need them for the numbers, everyone delivers here in Sydney.

SPEAKER_00 40:42

I was in Tassie recently and they had a good one. I couldn't. They were just like, we're down here. They're like, we're having a great time.

SPEAKER_01 40:50

And I was like, you are. I think there's a Sunshine State. There, I think Melbourne has. See you in the NT. Yeah, see you in the state. It's obviously a big famous one. Great. And then I feel like I think South Australia is just like the wine one. Oh no, the one for jazz. It's it's it's by far the worst one.

SPEAKER_00 41:05

Yeah, the Western Australian one's like, we'll we'll always threaten to leave. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 41:10

We've got all the m- We've got all the resources and the sunset, so go kill yourself. And you know what? We can't really do much about it.

SPEAKER_00 41:16

You can't do anything about it, really. Isn't it fun that there's a real feud between all the license plates in Australia?

SPEAKER_01 41:20

It is nice. It is funny that I feel like Perth and Western Australia are too far away that we just don't like I'm like, oh, yeah, stay, you know, but I I just don't know what you guys are up to.

SPEAKER_00 41:29

They could they could leave and I wouldn't know. It's hard to grasp that they're there because I don't see the license plate. Precisely. But you're all the other ones.

SPEAKER_01 41:36

You're always in a Vic or a son. Carl, who watched the day after tomorrow?

SPEAKER_00 41:44

Look, it is it's a bunch of hoo-ha, isn't it? Really? After you've seen the hoo-hash over here.

SPEAKER_01 41:51

It's a lot of fucking around. It's a real nice one because I feel like there's a lot of disaster movies that go, hey, here's a bunch of here's a bunch of set pieces. This one goes, hey, what if we just have a well we sit in one, you know? Take a moment.

SPEAKER_00 42:03

I watched um practical magic recently, and it's so held up by the two leads.

SPEAKER_01 42:09

Like I sorry, I was like, I was like, what magic show did you go to?

SPEAKER_00 42:13

What's practical magic? The Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kimmer movie. They've got a sequel about to come out. Uh but it's not it's not good, and it's held up by just two good leads. And this is sort of a movie where I wouldn't even say it's held up by good leads, but there's you've sort of got Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal, and it's sort of legitimized the movie more so than it needs to be legitimized, and so it sort of has more eyeballs on it. And I guess it's ahead of its time, but now it's moot, now it's pointless. You don't need to watch this. It's really hard to go who should watch this when the movie dies halfway through. So it's really only for if you want to watch it in clips on YouTube.

SPEAKER_01 42:51

And I think I I think that's the biggest thing. Like, who would watch this? I think it's tough because it really was at that last moment where like you had to go to the film to go to the movies to see big destruction. I think the second this film came out and someone's like, check it out, put it on YouTube. Yeah, like it's done now. Just put the good scenes up. Yeah. Because that's all that's all for. I think the DVD sales for this was amazing. It was like a hundred million dollars.

SPEAKER_00 43:13

Yeah, I'm sure it was a huge shame. I owned it on DVD.

SPEAKER_01 43:16

It's just so and that was it. I feel like it's such a shame that like these big sort of destruction sequences, it's kind of for that junkiness of it, but you like who's that for? It's not for anyone anymore because you just see the scenes on YouTube now, you know. And granted, I guess you get to see it in like a big multiplex, but I don't think people would care. You know? I don't think they do. No, no. Oscar, who would watch uh The Day After Tomorrow? It's such a tough one because I just don't like I feel like when you strip back these disaster films and like just go, well, let's just look at the characters and the like the moments and like the science, it all kind of deteriorates. This one I do feel compared to the others, it's a bit it's just a boring one, you know. I really don't think you've uh really got much. And like I want to be like ser serious, but it's really just I Candy because you know I feel like it's two leads kind of at their prime, you know. Um, it's yeah, I think it's unfortunately a bit of a pointless one because yeah, 2012 knocks it out of the park, and then all the ones from the 90s. I feel they've got like you know a bit more practicalness to if you're missing that, you know. Um, again, I do like the city, the sequence in New York with the flooding cut. I just think I'm like, wow, good that's it's a it's a great sequence.

SPEAKER_00 44:23

I even think the LA stuff's really good. Yeah, I think though I think those key sequences are still very simple.

SPEAKER_01 44:29

It's a bad script as well. Like straight up, it is just a bad script.

SPEAKER_00 44:32

Like all the way through. Yeah. So the characterizations are poor, who they decide to focus on is we focus the plot off the street. I feel there's no real main character really. No, it doesn't feel fo like because even Dennis Quaid drops in and out of the movie over a long time.

SPEAKER_01 44:45

I feel like it's Jake's movie, and he's like, I can't even think what his like arc even is. It's just sort of him, but like we should probably stay here. And you're like, okay, I guess.

SPEAKER_00 44:54

Yeah, he's a planter. You go, he's good at planting, and you're like, that's a bad, I don't know, do we want that in a character?

SPEAKER_01 44:59

I don't want that, I don't want that in a character. Carl, who'd watch the day after tomorrow?

SPEAKER_00 45:03

Uh I think if you're just like first acts. I think if you're like a first act, this is for you.

SPEAKER_01 45:08

Or sister act.

SPEAKER_00 45:09

Yeah, yeah, sister act. Oscar, who would watch the day after tomorrow?

SPEAKER_01 45:11

Carl, if you're living in Europe at the moment and you're you're through that hot uh that heat wave, or kind of like SNL, like a joke's only funny like for one week, and then that's that's this is then pointless. You watch this in two months' time, this is completely pointless. Carl, who would watch uh the day after tomorrow?

SPEAKER_00 45:27

I think if you just like vice presidents, I think they finally get a chance to glow up. Yeah, yeah. And I think that's just a good time for that.

SPEAKER_01 45:33

Yeah, I feel like Adam McKay was very cruel in his depiction of vice, and it's just nice to see super positive. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 45:38

Super positive. You know, you go, wow, vice president really can't have it all. Oscar, who watched The Day After Tomorrow?

SPEAKER_01 45:45

Uh, if you're very horny, uh, but you're too dumb for Donnie Darker, you're gonna love this one. Logic Jill and Hall is prime with He's just as wet. He's just as wet, and you're not getting any of that nonsense, you know, that blade bunny nonsense, you know? It's just it's just cold nonsense, you know. That's that's why it's good. Uh Carl, who watched the day after tomorrow?

SPEAKER_00 46:02

I think if you've always wanted to watch a movie that depicts global warming but doesn't take a stance, this is a really strong one.

SPEAKER_01 46:09

You don't want to get bogged down with the politics, but god, I love to see the slow destruction of the stance. I don't want it's not even like I don't want to do anything, it's just like I don't want to even think about it being an option. Yeah, yeah. It's very brave. Oscar, who watched the day after tomorrow? Carl, if you watch the edge of tomorrow and want a proper climax, then check out the day after tomorrow. That's a think of that one. That's a thinker.

SPEAKER_00 46:36

Carl, what are we doing next week? Uh we're doing 2012. Yeah. We're jumping it. We're going, we're going up to his next one. We're doing up to his next best. Yeah. People are excited. People have been clamoring for it. People have been screaming. Shut up about it. We're finally getting to 2009's 2012.

SPEAKER_01 46:50

It's a great title to say loud, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 46:52

I love it. It's like, you know, it's like Lee Daniels the butler. 2009's 2012.

SPEAKER_01 47:00

Typing it in to just wow, eight digits. Thanks for listening.
