The Accountant 2 with Pat
We analyze whether The Accountant 2 improves upon its predecessor as Ben Affleck returns as Christian Wolff, the autistic mathematical genius who serves as both accountant and assassin.
• Ben Affleck delivers a more nuanced performance of autism in the sequel, showing detailed mannerisms and speech patterns
• The movie portrays autism almost as a superpower rather than a limitation
• John Bernthal returns as Christian's brother, with their relationship forming the emotional core of the film
• The plot focuses on solving a Treasury chief's murder and rescuing a kidnapped Mexican family
• The sequel features more hand-to-hand combat versus the shooting-heavy approach of the first film
• The storyline sets up potential for a third installment
• We also discuss Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) as a perfect background comedy with nostalgic 80s references
• Modern comedies struggle to match the unfiltered humor of earlier decades
• Both films receive similar ratings (6-7.5/10) but for very different reasons
excuse me, is anybody sitting here? Sorry, this needs to take him. Sorry, pat. If you can go back to the 1980s and you can record any song to claim as your own, what song would you claim as your own?
Speaker 2:holy shit throwing. It could be from the 80s till now that's. That's a question just out of the blue man.
Speaker 1:Okay, I'll make it easier. Which artist's career would you?
Speaker 2:steal. Okay, which artist's career?
Speaker 1:Yeah, you would sing all of their songs.
Speaker 2:Honestly Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1:He's already in the 80s though.
Speaker 2:Dude his career, though he's the GO career, though he's the goat, he's the goat you think you can perform billy jean hell? No, yeah, no, I couldn't. But like I'm assuming, I'm just taking over all of his abilities and talents, sure, sure okay, okay, I'll give you that all right.
Speaker 1:Um pat, welcome to the podcast. This is this. He's taken where I'm your host, rob miranda. First time, no second time on the podcast you came on with glenn once for an open tabs second time. I don't think we talked about any movies that time, we just kind of bullshitted that whole episode.
Speaker 2:We bullshitted, we talked about diddy and oil and yeah, that's just all going on, yeah it's gonna go on for a minute.
Speaker 1:I don't think it's trial until next may dude, or is it this may? It's crazy, it's crazy yeah, with all these conspiracies like that, he burnt out hollywood and now with kanye's ass acting crazy again bro kanye.
Speaker 2:I didn't listen to the what he said, but just seeing the stuff on twitter talking about his cousin and stuff yeah that's wild that is very wild, um, are you gonna listen to the song now? I mean I can.
Speaker 1:A big thing that's on my Twitter feed right now is all the reactions to the NFL draft, specifically that one quarterback. You know who I'm talking about, I don't know his name?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, Shadir Sanders. We definitely know about him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've been seeing a lot of shit Like how he thought he was going to be the first round pick, been seeing like a lot of shit like how he thought he's gonna be the first round pick and, uh, not just the first round pick, like probably the first pick I think he thought he's gonna be yeah and then uh, no, he's like one of the last people yeah, he.
Speaker 2:He was projected to be the first overall pick, like last year, and then he was supposed to be a first round pick this year and some, so he did something or something because he fell to the fifth round, which is crazy well, not just him.
Speaker 1:I heard his dad had a lot to do with it too, because his dad was like I'm going to be coaching that team, you know. So he come, he's coming with baggage and which kind of turns off a lot of teams this is very true, this is yeah do you think you deserve to get picked in the fifth round? Because of that okay, I heard he's an okay quarterback I don't know.
Speaker 2:I I kind of think he's a little mid, to be honest yeah, that's what I overhyped but he's probably not a fifth round pick, he's probably more of a.
Speaker 1:He's probably a second round, maybe late first round pick, in my opinion but I love seeing the t like how like he right he had the whole big ass party and like whole stage set up and everything. Yeah, I love following that on twitter, like that and like I really I'm not a big into NFL at all, but I like hearing the tea with Patrick Mahomes' brother all the time.
Speaker 2:I don't think he's been doing anything lately, but when he first came out, you know what?
Speaker 1:I just realized too this episode's 169.
Speaker 2:69.
Speaker 1:You know what that is? Two people leaving 169 with a cuck.
Speaker 2:I never heard of this. What are we talking about?
Speaker 1:nothing. Uh, pat, we're here to talk about the accountant too. Like we talked about the, I told you I was gonna have you on like two months ago for this episode. Um, and for a throwback episode some people pick like a similar kind of movie or something like that.
Speaker 2:You went totally opposite direction and we're talking about hot tub time machine, hot tub time machine just saw it for the first time last week I'm excited to hear because I've seen this several times.
Speaker 1:It's come like, came on 2010, but I want to talk about just the first accountant first, because there is a very big difference between the accountant and the accountant too. Yeah, there was, the accountant was filmed a little bit more darker, I would say. And ben affleck, he played, he was good in it. Don't get me wrong, he plays not like an autistic guy who I think shine a very good light on autistic people in this one, because they don't use it as like of something to hold in the back and more like almost like a fucking superpower.
Speaker 1:How he's using it or he has ability to do and he has like a whole freaking school of like little kids learning the same stuff as him. And we've seen similar stuff like this, like why does this intrigue people so much, like the, the corks, and like how they not just like in real life but like on screen, specifically like the OCD? Why does that intrigue us as much as an audience versus and I thought about this hard his character, ben Affleck's character, christian Wolfe, an autistic man? If you replace Ben Affleck with an actual autistic person, do you think the movie would be the same?
Speaker 2:Probably no I mean you need it to be Ben affleck? Yeah, honestly, as bad as that sounds, but yeah, they definitely did a good job of shining a light on, like, how autistic people can you know specifically more the second movie because, um yeah, the first one ben affleck does his research.
Speaker 1:He's like a method actor I can tell from these movies, but the first he doesn't seem as autistic as the second one, if that makes sense. Like he, he definitely picks up the corks like blown on his hands and like writing on the mirrors and like kind of like spazzing out when he can't finish something he started. So that was only like a handful of quirks he took. But this one he went, I feel like he went full more method, like the way his speech patterns, the way his posture and everything like that. For account two, he killed it.
Speaker 2:It was a little bit more detailed but that also made it stand out a lot more different than the first movie definitely I felt like in the first movie they tried to like he tried to just be like under the radar and they showed a lot of his like backstory where as a kid he was like damn near non-verbal and when he went to the do his job in the accountant one you know, with that uh firm or whatever, and they didn't let him finish what he started. And that's when, like, you really saw like his uh super autistic side yeah, because it affected everything he did after that.
Speaker 2:Like you, you couldn't perform task, simple task, right uh, he was like freaking out, like rolling his shins and stuff. I was like cringing doing that, oh my god, yeah, with the wood stick, yeah, yeah, and like the first one you get flashbacks of more of the kid, childhood and as well as their dad.
Speaker 1:Like the dad didn't want he had good intentions. Like he didn't want his no one fucking with his kids.
Speaker 2:So he taught them to be like stand up for themselves, but like they became like military trained and shit like that and they were little badasses and their mom was just I don't know if she was a piece of shit or like, if they just she just didn't like their dad or I don't know what the situation really was. It's kind of hard to tell, but they she left them, or if she just didn't, couldn't care for christian, you know at that time, or whatever.
Speaker 1:But it's tough. I mean, I have um, uh, an autistic niece. She's not doing this stuff, no, she's.
Speaker 2:There's definitely levels to it. Yeah, I have a cousin that has Down syndrome and he ain't doing this stuff either.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, it's not a default at all, it's more of just they're looking at the world differently. You know it's. You know, definitely, definitely. Every major character came back from the first movie to this one, except anna kendrick yeah, the girl.
Speaker 1:I thought we were gonna see her right, because it seemed like it was almost like a love interest in the movie but I mean, I kind of like that they made a more friendship kind of thing too, because it seems more realistic, right, um, but at least not mention it, because like he's he befriended, like the little girl from his school who followed him, his like entire dollhood, and um, that's when he kind of like left hanging. Like he left her, didn't he leave her money? In the first one on the kendrick's character, he left her something.
Speaker 1:Uh, yeah, like to just get away type money yeah, on top of that, he left her some left some paintings too that he collected.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the dog painting, the dog's playing poker.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but there was an actual painting underneath that that she ripped off.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, like the one that he used to keep above his.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I forgot what kind of artist it was, just like splatter type stuff. Yeah, art's so overrated.
Speaker 2:I think it's all just a scam. Not a scam, but it's just like a way to launder money and shit. Like it's just a. It's a black market.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because that's. That was something that look like me and you can make, true, but anyways, let's go to account two just slap some paint on a freaking canvas and it's worth millions the accountant too I want to talk about too, because the marketing was pretty good for this movie.
Speaker 1:Most of the time for a good small movie like this isn't a small movie, but for a good movie like it can be hard marketing like I think they could have done more fun stuff with it. Maybe they have been after like actually go around like teaming up with turbo because this is also on tax season too like he could have teamed up with turbo tax or something like that.
Speaker 1:You know turbo tax yeah, he could have our H&R Block. He definitely could have done something fun. But, like the trailer spoke for itself, in this movie it looks cool because not only that, we also saw John Bernthal's character have a more of an important role in this movie yeah, um, john Bernthal's fucking the man dude.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and John, like in the content one he wasn't like really super big back then no, he, he wasn't. Oh for his career. Yeah, at the time he didn't even do Punisher or anything.
Speaker 1:yet yeah, that was like right before Punisher yeah.
Speaker 2:So he kind of blew up after that. Yeah, he had much minor roles oh he's been a badass, though he's a badass in everything he does. He has his own podcast too.
Speaker 1:Do you know that? No, he talks not just like he has a podcast where he talks to well a celebrities, but two like just local, like badass policemen or firemen, something like that.
Speaker 2:That's cool yeah, he's.
Speaker 1:He gives back a lot, but I can also see him being a douchebag in real life too.
Speaker 1:He kind of does give them kind of vibes uh, but the account to christian wolf applies to his brilliant and illegal methods to reconstruct an unsolved puzzle of Treasury Chief's murder, directed by Gavin O'Connor, written by Bill Dobik, the Accountant 2. Just that title alone. When is the last time you've seen a sequel with a name and just the two at the end of it? It's usually a sequel the name and a subtext underneath it, or something like that.
Speaker 2:That's true. They did have a little play on it, because they made it like a little squared two instead of just like oh yeah so yeah, that was more like for like the character being like a math nerd and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah I think the first one came out 2016 and in 2020. Ben affleck was interviewed about a possible sequel and he said he would love to do it, but the script wasn't ready. There was also talks about turning this into like a mini series too. I could see it. Would you like to see that better versus a movie?
Speaker 2:I could see it, because then he can go through like all his clientele that we really know nothing about you don't learn anything really about his clientele at all? You just know that they're like super not even just illegal people, you know, like drug dealers, arms dealers, stuff like that, and he just does the books for all these people across all the the world, not even just in the us, and also, you could also like dive deeper into john burton, his brother's character.
Speaker 1:Uh, braxton, let's see some of his work, because he kind of seemed like a fucking pussy in this movie yeah, they, well they I say pussy, but he nerfed him.
Speaker 2:Yeah, when they open up the scene you know with him talking to the girl at the table and that's when Christian calls. You don't really see what's going on until like the very end of that scene and that's like really all you really see besides like a couple little fight scenes here and there in that movie.
Speaker 1:Well, I think when you first introduced the character yeah, he's looking cool, checking in the hotel, he's like laying out all his weapons and he's making this important phone call you think he's making some kind of deal. No, he's literally just buying a puppy and he's just not even like a pit bull or anything like that. It was like a corgi. He wanted yeah, he wanted a corgi he wanted.
Speaker 2:He wanted a corgi. I don't remember the dog's name, but the. The lady was like you gotta wait two more weeks because it needs the bond with his mother right, yeah and that he was like what's two more weeks gonna do, when he's never gonna see his, his mother again?
Speaker 1:and that had me thinking like, damn, that is kind of true, yeah I mean, it is, it is true, so it's kind of fucked up. I think about that all the time with my dog, like I, I think I looked up once like if my, if I were to introduce my dog to his mom again right now, would he even recognize her? I think they said, like they can remember the scent up to three years.
Speaker 2:Wow, I'm mistaken never had a dog, so I don't know, don't know a lot about dogs, nah I couldn't breed.
Speaker 1:I couldn't have people breeding uh, or buy a bred dog People adopt versus breeding, and then to nerf his character, to make him a cat person at the end too. It was just not only cat Shout out Cat Williams too.
Speaker 2:Shout out Mexican Cat Williams.
Speaker 1:The plot of this movie was very forgettable. The whole point of this movie was to um rescue this missing mexican family yeah one by one you find out different tragic stories.
Speaker 1:One was dead, like the dad was dead, the kid was in the constant like a concentration camp kind of thing, kidnapped, held up for ransom I don't even know, because they're gonna kill him anyway. And then the fucking mom they turned into like the winter soldier. She got in a car accident and then they rebuilt her Like she forgot all her memories. So they changed her to be an assassin.
Speaker 2:They didn't even train her. She just did that. They said she had savant syndrome and her brain was just constantly in flight or flight mode. Well, she was a badass character. She was bad. Yeah, she was a badass character. She was bad. Yeah, she was a badass. It's crazy when you see the picture of them as a family.
Speaker 1:She looks nothing the same. I was thinking the same thing she looks nothing a little bit more like fuller in the face yeah, yeah yeah she, she was fucking badass. I think she had definitely had her own bucky barnes moment, like when she was looking at the picture.
Speaker 2:It's like oh shit, this is my family. She remembers yeah. Yeah the the plot was like a little all over the place at first. It's like where is this going, you know?
Speaker 1:I feel like if you would have walked in halfway through this movie, you could have put it together that's true. Yeah, that's probably and they kind of made this movie more focused on brotherly love than an actual action movie. Yeah, they had a lot of weird random moments and it had nothing to do with a plot like the whole dating scenario.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the like speed dating thing, the speed dating.
Speaker 1:It was an interesting thing and I was like, okay, there's no way he's really interested in dating. I thought he was like trying to get intel on somebody. But, no, I think he was there trying to find a companion and they never did anything like that. He meets this person, square dancer, which I'm gonna come back to that scene in a second and he meets him.
Speaker 2:He gets her number. Never heard from her again. No, like what was the point of this movie? Yeah, I mean that that stuff added to the movie. The speed dating thing was weird because like every single girl was in line only to see him yeah, when she rigged it yeah. Then he said he just like. What did he say? He said he like changed the algorithm or some shit.
Speaker 1:He mastered the algorithm. He like he knew what women wanted, or like by strategy, like most women want, like a provider or so-and-so, and he like rigged it to answer all of his answers like to what most women want. On top of that, he also rigged like his photos, like the most suggested photos that people are attracted to and this guy made game.
Speaker 2:That game dude. Yeah, was it just a game for him? Like, did he just want to see, like, how women would respond, or like was he actually looking for somebody he was looking for like a dating companion? Because like, so he is getting tired of being alone.
Speaker 1:I would think so and on top of that, like well, first of all, like when he we're talking about the speed dating thing, women line up to see who they want to date and there's like probably 30 guys there.
Speaker 2:That is bogus.
Speaker 1:And like all 30 women line up to take turns with him and after a while, like he stopped talking to them, like they were dates and like giving them accounting advices and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he couldn't do it. He could do the dating thing. I mean, it was a funny scene alone. So so I asked this does that make the, the autistic girl that's at the whatever it's called thing, the school, jealous because she has to like love him, right?
Speaker 1:I don't she does call him dreamboat yeah yeah, I wonder. That's kind of I don't think they were gonna say why dreamboat? I don't know either, um, but she gives him advice like don't wear the black suit and everything. So I'm assuming she's always listening to him or something. Yeah, so I don't know. I they, they don't.
Speaker 2:I wish they gave more backstory in her a little bit yeah, you, you really only learn a little bit about her at the very end of the first movie and it's like she's her, his handler, basically. Basically, yeah, and christian got her like a supercomputer, because that's how she communicates is through the computer. Yeah, and the guy that they were bringing in a new student at the time and the guy was like a computer engineer and he was like holy, you have this crazy computer and that's when you learn that the british quote-unquote british person is her, the non-verbal chick.
Speaker 2:That's like what like? Probably like 17 to 20 in that, the first movie. Yeah, she's like definitely like in her late 20s or early 30s in the second movie I think they did replace the actress did, did they, yeah, yeah she, although the first actress did like do the actual voice for the computer stuff.
Speaker 1:Uh, they did replace it, though, and then she goes downstairs. It's like fucking the X-Mansion from X-Men. They're like a team of five or six autistic kids all thinking this is a game, first of all to hack into people's phones and computers and stuff like that. Let's stop here and back up a little bit. Let's talk about the theater reaction, because we went there and it was a semi-packed theater.
Speaker 2:I was generally surprised and happy that there was a lot of people in there.
Speaker 1:I think that makes the experience more fun. Even though I like going to the movies, and sometimes it's just myself, you don't go to the movies a lot, do you?
Speaker 2:I used to Not as much anymore.
Speaker 1:What kind of movies are you into?
Speaker 2:Well, I've uh, well, I've seen all the marvel movies and stuff like that not all of them, but I would say about 90 of them, mostly that I like action, action movies action movies are tough.
Speaker 1:You think um, you're in the fast and furious movies I've seen all of them. Yeah, I just started re-watching like uh, I think the fourth one nice yeah, I I don't know. I don't have a favorite type of movies, anything like that, but this one I had three in a row back to back. I had the amateur, I had sinners and now this one. There it's. It's pretty good so far, and then next week's thunderbolts, where I heard nothing but great things about it. So I'm excited for it. Yeah, I'm excited for thunderbolts too.
Speaker 2:And then we have lilo and stitch coming, yeah um, how about? At home you streaming a lot of shows uh, I I'll into shows occasionally, but I'm currently dry on shows right now. I finished. What did I finish recently? Well, daredevil ended.
Speaker 1:You know what? I've only seen like half of the first episode.
Speaker 2:Oh man.
Speaker 1:It's good. I mean, I heard nothing but great things about it and I can't wait to finish it.
Speaker 2:Great season. I'm not gonna give you any spoilers. I know they're filming season.
Speaker 1:Well, if not done season two already.
Speaker 2:I think they said they want a daredevil season to come out every year yeah, so so are they considering it like a new series, or is this technically daredevil, daredevil season four? I guess you say daredevil season four, so okay everything that happened on daredevil still, still applies, yeah yeah, and I heard like season two.
Speaker 1:I don't think this is a spoiler, because it's a rumor right now, like they're bringing it back to defenders see that's.
Speaker 2:I don't want to get into it because I don't want to spoil anything oh, that's cool.
Speaker 1:I like all the defenders except iron fist.
Speaker 2:I hated his show iron fist was probably the worst, but, but I've seen all those I had also heard rumors that iron fist would show up in shang chi's new second movie, which that makes sense. Yeah, because they, they're kind of like similar.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that would make sense which shang chi is gonna be in the new avengers movie. So that's pretty dope. We talk about like avengers at the end of this movie let's go back to the account too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah uh, we talked about ben f, like a little bit like his character. He does kill it in this movie. He. He has his mannerism, his speech patterns, like he does. I feel like he spent more time maybe with autistic people or at least done more research on it. We talk about major people coming back. Jk Simmons is coming back. As a matter of fact, he's like the very first person we see in this movie. He is badass in this movie, like he is kind of like a rogue cop a little bit trying to do his own investigation. He was looking for this family and he got a little bit too close to it and it cost him his life. But the whole bar scene alone was pretty badass.
Speaker 2:Yeah, when they met the chick, the Winter Soldier chick, I had no idea where they were going with that at first, because I'm like why I thought he retired first off in the end of the first movie.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which is why I said like he kind of goes rogue, yeah, yeah but so when they, when they talked to medina, didn't they say deputy director? For reiki yeah so he was still the the director at the time and it was like eight years later, I think he did say like he was semi-retired yeah and he was only taking cases that he felt personable to yeah but like I don't think he was off payroll, like he was still getting paid for that stuff, I would say speaking of the the like, whatever the treasury department.
Speaker 2:That's crazy to me, like those two knew that christian was doing super illegal things and they just let it happen, because they were basically getting their pockets greased in a way. They were in a way they were getting like the high profile even uh, medina said like yeah, he goes up, christian goes on.
Speaker 1:Medina like yeah, I put you in that position exactly, and that's why she kept referencing the chair.
Speaker 2:She was like I can't find a good chair that, you know, can I feel good in, because she doesn't feel like she deserves to be there, damn.
Speaker 1:Look at you with that symbolism. That was pretty good.
Speaker 2:She doesn't feel like she deserves to be there. And then she finally finds the chair at the end where the one guy gifted her christian gifted. I was assuming that was a gift from Christian right. No, that was from. That was the guy's chair. He was just sitting in the fish market he was just sitting in that chair.
Speaker 1:I thought, like Christian put that there for her, I mean he might did he?
Speaker 2:no, he never. He was never at the fish market doesn't mean he can't like have something delivered, that's true.
Speaker 1:I thought the whole like scene with the chairs, like because I was the first um medina. Like I thought the whole like scene with the chairs, like because I was the first introducer, like I thought the whole scene was the chair. I was like because I literally thought to myself like why the fuck are we seeing this? Like who cares about this? But then I like I talked about my last episode like the movie. I was like this is random as fuck. Why don't we seen some of the stuff? And he's like I think the whole point of it is to show like, yeah, this stuff can happen on any random day. And like, yeah, that shit happens. Like randomly, you're going to look at chairs and like oh shit, next thing, a murder happens on your fucking desk it's crazy I don't know, uh, but how do you feel about marybeth?
Speaker 1:I didn't the actress herself, I don't care for a whole lot like I, like I think I told you in the theater it's like there's no way that's her her real speaking voice. Like I felt like I don't know what she was trying to do. Like there was her and another guy like the sniper, like trying to do a tough accent mary beth, the assassin the mary beth and the assassin, the sniper the sniper guy definitely was.
Speaker 2:He had a crazy voice. I don't know what he was trying to do with that, but yeah, they, we didn't really get a lot of background about him, he just was no, they did presume him to be like a main character kind of thing.
Speaker 1:I don't even remember how he leaves. If he gets killed, he dies on the bus yeah, like he was very forgettable. That's a case 100.
Speaker 2:He was just there to like randomly shoot people and he would just pop into a scene, shoot somebody and then just disappear he was also the one who killed ray king and he was praised for it was like you know, all, like out of five of my men, like only you kill this guy.
Speaker 1:I thought there's gonna be a big showdown between them, maybe, nah but he wasn't even supposed to kill ray.
Speaker 2:He was. They were there to kill the girl right, right and she. He couldn't get a shot, so he settled for ray to like kind of throw her off them.
Speaker 1:Kind of yeah, it's very strategic guy. Yeah, I mean, uh, we can talk about Justine before we get into the to John Berthold's character. Justine, like the one who plays um her, his handler, the nonverbal. The nonverbal one. She was very good about like I don't think I'm pretty positive, not actually autistic herself, but like moving back and forth like her movements yeah, uh, non-verbal. She was speaking, communicating through an ipad. I was like there's no way this chick's typing everything because she was speaking way faster than she was typing or doing anything like that.
Speaker 1:So I was kind of curious how that happened, what they, how they do that yeah, then I was thinking like when she was in the lab like computer typing, she was probably using one of those like special um keyboards that they use in courts. So you know, in courts I can't remember what it's called.
Speaker 2:I know what you're talking about. Or maybe she had the Neuralink and whatever she thought went straight to the computer. That'd be nuts. That'd be nuts, but I think she did In the first one. Going back to the first one, she was like that might have actually been an autistic person. That actually just did the on-screen stuff. Yeah, that she might have actually been autistic. And then the second one I think you're right, it might have been a different actress I know it was a different actress.
Speaker 1:Yeah, um, would you have one of those neural links?
Speaker 2:no, no, I don't think I'll be saying some out-of-pocket shit because I've been thinking about random shit, yeah, but it would be crazy to have access to like everything in the world dude at the same time like they show them how they hack into a computer like a random woman's like laptop just to find a selfie.
Speaker 1:I hated that whole scene. First of all, too. Like they're looking for this woman, the soldier is like look, there's a woman taking a selfie and I was like it's so obviously posed. Like they were almost like trying to get this person in the background, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2:And then they, when they're hacking into her computer and they're like ringing her doorbell and stuff like that, it's like wow that would have known this shit out of me. That that's like another thing, like is technology too advanced now?
Speaker 1:like your whole home is set up to one to wi-fi, basically yeah, yeah, like her tv, her ring and um her printer like yeah like what did they hack into?
Speaker 2:they said they hacked into the thermostat to get into the system. And then it's like what?
Speaker 1:like you're hacking into a thermostat, right, right right, and I think that's the point, because the reason that they keep distracting her is like we're bouncing all over the place in the storyline too. Yeah, we are, but um, but the reason they're hacking like I mean not the reason, but like they're hacking into this woman's laptop and I guess she could see someone's in her like laptop just because the lights on in the camera. I was like you can do all this stuff, but you can't turn off this one light.
Speaker 2:Yep, yep that's what it's, just the the freaking um, it's not that they emailed a picture from her computer to them. I was like wouldn't you see it in your sent mail, right? But then again, how often you look at your sent mail? That is true like I I mean I. I run two email accounts for work and, like occasionally, I'll go back through my sent mail to see when I send something yeah, but why wouldn't they hack their phone instead? You know what?
Speaker 1:because that because you took the picture with their phone yeah, it sounds.
Speaker 2:It seems like it'd be easier to be honest. That's what I was thinking, instead of the laptop. How did that? How did they know that it was on her laptop already? Probably it was an apple phone, because it was just all linked through yeah, it's probably I through iCloud.
Speaker 1:Um, now we can talk about john burthold's character. He was cool, I mean the, the, they. They kind of nerfed him like well, yeah, it's all. But yeah, he's trying to buy the puppy and he gets a cat person. But like the whole movie he's crying, like why don't you come say hi to me or send me a car and I? Was like yeah come on, you're supposed to be this big tough guy he played like the lonely brother in this one.
Speaker 2:Like he was like. I just miss my brother. You know they grew up together being badasses well, not beingasses, but that's how they had to live. He grew up looking after Christian. His older brother.
Speaker 1:And then for him to turn his back on him, which I can totally see. I could totally see, but that was the third or fourth time him asking about it. I was like shut the fuck up guy.
Speaker 2:I'm tired of you bitch and cry. It's just the way that Christian's brain works.
Speaker 1:He doesn't compute that he doesn't even think he's doing anything wrong. He doesn't exactly, yeah and um, and that just bothered him. He's like like he even asked like is it because of me that you don't want anything to do with me, or is it because of?
Speaker 2:your like your autism that you don't feel anything yeah, and then I was a little confused as well, like because in the first one john's character uh, he was like it looked like he was the head guy controlling everybody, yeah, like he was like a guy not for hire, but like he did defense or something like that, like he like helped people security type shit.
Speaker 1:And then the second one, he's like literally an assassin no, I got the sense of the feeling that he was a hired protection, like you said. But like yeah, he's not afraid of his hands dirty though oh yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2:And then what it was in the first one, when he learned that it was his brother, when he's watching him on the cameras, that was such a good scene. That was like he's like wait a second, Like he's just looking at the mannerisms, how he's taking these people out, and he's like anything in that first movie besides like send everybody after him.
Speaker 1:Um, this one christian did a lot more physically like fighting than than his brother did, like that whole scene with it in that factory when he was like, uh, auditing, like he uses his mind to like oh he shit on those guys in that with the with the pizza sizes and stuff like that like that's wild, you know, like, oh, the whole scene was awesome, yeah that was a good scene.
Speaker 2:That was a really good scene and Medina, part of the government, is just like.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then she didn't see nothing. There's a scene where they do kidnap somebody and then Medina's like I gotta wet my hands clean of this, and then she just lets them go, like Krishna and his brother.
Speaker 2:I was like yes, you guys, you do whatever you guys want, yeah, because it's part of the thing. Well, like, she's in that position because of them, yeah, so, but I don't know, it's just that's just. That dynamic was weird to me, because it's like, if you're really, if you're really a true cop by the book type person, you're not going to let that happen, but so no.
Speaker 1:And then, um, let's talk about how she or he, christian. Like I said, there's a lot of brother moments in this movie, which is a good thing. I like that, I've seen that. But there's a whole scene where they go to a bar just to have a drink and, um, one of the waitresses is flirting with Christian and then he talks him up to go. He actually doesn't he, like he, she's hitting on him and it goes over his head and he, she walks away. He's like what are you doing, dude? And you can tell he wanted to say something more. But like he was just nervous and he's like he swallowed his pride and like, all right, 15 seconds of confidence, and he goes up to her on the dance floor. It's a like a western, like a road, like a honky-tonk kind of place yep country and then, um he, then he sees her dancing.
Speaker 1:I think she was talking to another guy too, if I'm not mistaken. But he goes there and just like a mathematician, he's going out there studying the movements and counting the steps and all that. And I think I told you ain't no way we're about to see this guy dance in this movie right now. Yeah, I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 2:And sure enough, he line dances.
Speaker 1:But even before then, if I see this guy just like looking around like he's in the middle of the dance floor, that's kind of weird. But we see this guy land dancing and he's having fun with it. It was a good scene. At the end of it I think he gets her number.
Speaker 2:That's the last we ever hear about that yeah, it was a good scene because you can see like, because he everything is like numbers to him. He realized that that dance was just all, just in coordination, like one, one step at a time, and he just like memorized the, the, the dance within like 30 seconds and then he went up there and started just busting it out and his brother's like that's my brother out there, and then yeah, the other guy came up trying to claim that girl and she's like we're not even together.
Speaker 2:yeah, and then he's like, go ahead and hit me and the guy's like what he's like hit me, my brother will be very excited. Yeah, he's like, go ahead and hit me and the guy's like what he's like hit me, my brother will be very excited. He's kind of bored right now, and then they start fighting. That was a funny scene too. They just whooped their ass.
Speaker 1:And they just drove off. You don't really see the fight.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they just get thrown through two windows, yeah.
Speaker 1:They just throw him through the windows and then they're driving and he pulls up his sleeve and she wrote his, her number on his arm. But that, yeah, like you said, that was the last we've seen.
Speaker 2:You mentioned that going home man got beat up by an autistic guy? Yeah, that's not a good look, his friends are. His friends are talking shit forever like yeah, boy, you got beat up by a dude that can't even make a verbal or by an account like that was the thing, a joke in the middle of.
Speaker 1:Was it the first or second? I think it was the first one, when someone was on the phone like oh, it was the second one. The prostitutes were calling their pimp and the pimp was like what are these guys who look like? And she goes accountants.
Speaker 2:That was a pretty funny line, Accountants yeah.
Speaker 1:And there was a random ass line in one of the prostitutes who gave up all the why she said that.
Speaker 2:But this is so fucking random and funny at first I didn't understand, but then, like once, you learn a little bit more, going further in the movie, it makes sense she probably did have kids.
Speaker 1:She's probably protecting them.
Speaker 2:That's what I was got out of it I think she was basically hinting like if they have kids then they're gonna be like held somewhere, like that's what they're. She was hinting at to to them to try to figure out. So she was saying, like I don't have kids, but like some of the other girls do yeah and then they put the connections together. On the one, the picture of the boy in the fence that was like he's 13 and the other picture he was like eight or whatever or something like that.
Speaker 1:And then they figured out like they're holding the kid somewhere against you yeah, so so the girls have to be prostitutes yeah, but then, like they find the busload of kids and they know they're gonna get killed, why would they kill? That was fucked up, by the way.
Speaker 2:I don't understand why they were killing so the white dude at the fish market, the head of everything or whatever he was like, kill all the kids. So there's nothing to attach the kids and the girls to me oh, that, which is fucked up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was okay. Um, this is a good movie. Would you like to see a third one like a trilogy?
Speaker 2:yeah, I think there is going to be a third one okay just the way they if they ended it with with the girl they really didn't like. They killed, go ahead they killed the white dude, the fish guy I don't even Did they even ever say his name.
Speaker 1:I don't think so.
Speaker 2:In the movie. I don't know, but yeah, it was the white dude, the fish guy, and they killed. She killed him and now she's just. What is she?
Speaker 1:I was like do you think she's that's?
Speaker 2:what I was going to ask you Do you think she's? Or like head of, like this drug lord, and also do the counting at the same time? The girl medina, medina, oh, medina is going to continue doing what she does. But I think the third movie is going to be about probably the two brothers and the the winter soldier girl, and because they saved her son, because her son had the autistic stuff I think we've seen them Because her son had the autistic stuff.
Speaker 1:I think we've seen them driving to show that meetup, yeah, but we never see that meetup. But I was like what the fuck?
Speaker 2:Yeah, but they set the room up for him and it had his name above the bed and they set the little Jackson ball up, which is what he was playing with in the movie. So yeah, he's definitely going to the.
Speaker 1:I bet you, if there's a third one, it's going to pick up exactly where it left off and they're never going to get that reunion. Something's going to happen between them driving to the meetup point. Someone's going to attack them.
Speaker 2:You think it's going to be the mom.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:No, I think someone's pissed off that he fucking killed everybody.
Speaker 2:Sure. I think it's, and then, like the end of that movie, it's gonna be like a reunion and at the end they had the british, the handler, called the russian supreme guy that was setting up everything which was john's boss and told him to basically call off the hit on medina. Yeah, and that allowed. Uh, it also allowed the girl to find the white guy and they were in some random remote country, because I think they set him up.
Speaker 1:Would you go see?
Speaker 2:this movie again in theaters, in theaters. I don't like watching a movie a second time in theaters. Yeah, I'll re-watch a movie, but not two times in theaters, no.
Speaker 1:You're going to change're gonna change your mind. When you see Sinners, dude, you gotta see it in IMAX too. I'm gonna see it. What would you give this movie? 1 out of 10, 7.5. I'd probably give it 6 out of 10.
Speaker 2:I thought it could have been a lot better, but they're doing what a lot of movies and shows are doing right now and they're setting themselves up for the future to have more.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I think they're trying to get more demographics. If you cut out all the brother stuff, I think it would have been a little bit better movie for me.
Speaker 1:It's more action, more straight to the point, versus you have all these side stories about him getting closure from growing up and then you have the whole relationship story, like if, like, the first one didn't have any of that stuff and that's why I think it was a little bit better movie for me. But, um, yeah, this is a good ass movie. This is. This is the action kicked up a notch. Uh, there was more hand-to-hand combat versus, like the first one, he was established as a shooter.
Speaker 1:He was just shooting everybody yeah, this, he was badass in this movie and I love ben affleck, yeah, and he's so.
Speaker 2:He's so surgical with everything that he does. It's just, it's awesome. Are you a?
Speaker 1:big ben affleck fan too. Yeah, I like ben affleck, he's dope, he's the man. Um, now let's switch gears, switch, switch gears to a completely different kind of genre movie oh yeah, this movie.
Speaker 1:I are account two. I talked about, like how you can start maybe midway through the point and catch on from there. This movie is the exact same. This is like definitely the definition of a background movie, like something you have on in the background you can look at over at any point and understand the plot of what's going on. We're going to be talking about hot tub time machine. Uh, came out 2010. This movie's about a malfunctioning time machine at a ski resort.
Speaker 1:Takes a man back to 1986 with two of his friends and nephew, where they must relive a fateful night and not change anything to make sure his nephew is born. Directed by Steve Pink, written by Josh had man, this is like right at the hype of the Office, 2. Or like right when the Office is finishing, kind of Because Craig Robinson and Clark what's his name? Right at the hype of the Office too. Or like right when the Office is finishing, kind of Because Craig Robinson and Clark, what's his name? Clark Duke, who's played Jacob the Nephew those are household names that drew everyone in and Rob Cawdry, who plays Lou. At this 2010 time, I feel like he was in everything.
Speaker 2:He was a lot more stuff than, yeah, he really was.
Speaker 1:And I haven't heard from him maybe like the past 10 years. Same thing with clark duke, sorry, uh. Yeah, clark duke, uh, the glasses kid, he wasn't everything around the time. He was in super bad for a little bit too super bad. Yeah, I remember. Yeah, he was in um, what's that one like? Uh, when they do a road trip about something sex road?
Speaker 2:trip, oh um, will they do a road trip Something?
Speaker 1:sex road trip. Talking about Wild Hogs Was he in Wild Hogs? Wild Hogs was John Travolta. I don't fucking know, are you?
Speaker 2:talking about the Vegas trip? Yeah, I think so. He was in a lot of things, not the.
Speaker 1:Hangover, no forget it, but anyways. But they had household names around the 2010s in this movie, which I think is why it was a big hit. Um, this movie's definitely. Even though there's not really drugs in this movie, it's probably listed as a stoner movie definitely.
Speaker 2:It's a more of a.
Speaker 1:It's a comedy first off, so that immediately hits the stoner fan base yeah, they just we were talking before this like they just don't make comedies anymore they're not that good anymore.
Speaker 2:Comedy no, they're just, they're not. They don't hit the same because everybody's woke now. Everybody's woke now they don't want to get canceled.
Speaker 1:They're like oh, that's just fucked up. We shouldn't have said that. I just listened to like this. Actually this movie I didn't even know this version of the black eyed peas song existed. It's like let's get it started. It's hot, you know. The real lines is like let's get retarded in here.
Speaker 2:No, I never knew that.
Speaker 1:It's in the movie.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's the real lines, I guess, or they just did that for the movie.
Speaker 1:I would imagine they just took a real song. I was like that shit would not. You can't say the word retarded right now. You can't say that, no, that, and the F word is used a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I love that word. Yeah, you do. It's a funny word.
Speaker 1:Because you love it. We can't say it now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, it's fine, but I don't mean it like it. Yeah, I don't mean it, and they didn't mean it in this movie. Yeah, it's something you just say to your boys, like, oh, you're a.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you it like that it's not like, yeah, so yeah, there's this.
Speaker 1:There's a lot of funny one-liners like that in this movie. The plot itself, like these three best friends who grew up together, just like normal dollhouse, you know, you kind of fall apart, like you don't really keep in contact and stuff like that. What's? They're going through different things. Like one's getting a divorce, one is like just not happy with his life. The one is like he's married but he's not happily married because like he kind of felt like he gave a part of himself up to be married and he's missing that part. So there's all three different stages of life and clark's like the nephew of the one who got into divorce. So to try to preserve some of their manhood and their friendship, they go back to the ski resort, which was 1986. And there's not a more relatable thing when you go to somewhere where you went as a younger person.
Speaker 2:It's not going to be the same. It wasn't even close to the same. It was run down, everything was boarded up, dude I went to Wisconsin Dells last November.
Speaker 1:That's exactly how I felt Really. The magic wasn't there anymore.
Speaker 2:That's part of life. It's crazy when you just get older and things change, especially in like friends groups like that. At least they uh I guess they really weren't super close because they really weren't talking until the guy tried to like kill himself damn near, yeah, uh and they go to this resort.
Speaker 1:And this is a hilarious running gag too, with a bellhop missing an arm and if you look at him like, it's pretty obvious his arms in his shirt. You know it's pretty bulky.
Speaker 2:It was obvious, but that was a funny running joke Throughout the whole movie. He almost gets his arm taken off. Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then they get in the hot tub together. I had some with our friend Glenn and Brandon. We bonded in the hot tub, just like that. Hot tubs are magical.
Speaker 2:Hot tubs are dope. Glenn needs to get a hot tub. I that like. Hot tubs are magical. Hot tubs are. Hot tubs are dope. Glenn needs to get a hot tub, I think he has the room for it on his uh dude.
Speaker 1:They had them on amazon like those inflatable ones I've heard someone has them like because my thing is like that's cheap, like it's gonna come apart.
Speaker 1:Now I heard they're pretty good yeah, they're only like a couple hundred bucks yep, glenn should get one you hear that glenn, you should get one so then then they get in this hot tub and then they party all night. That scene looked fun, Like the camera work, I should say them panning back and forth and spinning around stuff like that that was a good camera work. And then they wake up, find out they're in 1986. I like how they do find out too. They're skiing and they had a pretty bad accident. They get up. I feel completely fine and they had a pretty bad accident and they get up.
Speaker 1:I feel completely fine, they're younger bodies, and then they start looking around and everyone's dressed up in 80s gear. I think that would be pretty sick. If you can go back in time, we're still pretty young, but any point in time in your life, which time would you like to wake?
Speaker 2:up in. That'd be sick. I'd probably say I don't know if I'd want to go back that far, maybe like late 80s, beginning of the 90s.
Speaker 1:No, I mean like in your time.
Speaker 2:Oh, my time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, any point in your life, because 80s is there like out of college or just out of college or something like that.
Speaker 2:My time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what year? I should say.
Speaker 2:That's a tough question. I'd probably say I enjoyed like senior year of high school, like around that time.
Speaker 1:That was those peak like man, I feel like I would go back only six years like maybe, yeah, I would probably say the, the, the years after high school, like beginning of college.
Speaker 2:The years after high school like beginning of college. That's pretty good. That's where I would go.
Speaker 1:The 2012 to 2014. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Now the question is, because the whole point of this movie is you can't alter anything because things are going to change.
Speaker 2:Fuck that shit. Yeah, what are you changing? I'm changing everything, because I ain't got nothing attached to me. I don't have kids. I ain't got nothing attached to me, I don't have kids, I don't have nothing.
Speaker 1:One of the bits is like they're betting on a sports game a random sports game. That happened in 1986. And you remember every playoff.
Speaker 2:There ain't no way. That wasn't random Rob, that was the catch. So it was like a very big sports history.
Speaker 1:I didn't know that. That's probably why it always went over my head.
Speaker 2:The Broncos came back to. It. Was the Broncos, right? Yeah, the Broncos came back to win. Was it the Superbowl AFC championship? Yeah, guy made a spectacular catch and yeah, yep, that was a big sports moment. But it was funny because, like he, he, he remembered it so perfectly because it's such a big moment, but because he was trying to change it, everything was changing a little bit in real time.
Speaker 1:Well, they already changed a lot of shit up until that point. Yeah, yeah, man, I would definitely change it a lot. You know, chevy Chase makes a cameo in this movie. He's the repairman.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, the old guy, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1:Chevy Chase is a comedy legend and he I don't know. The whole thing was random and weird. With him as a character, he was never on point.
Speaker 2:Why couldn't he just fix it? Why did they have to find that?
Speaker 1:drink that they were drinking or whatever.
Speaker 2:What did it say on the? Can Chernobyl or something?
Speaker 1:like that. Yeah, yeah, you know. Sebastian Sand Speed of the Winded Soldier, sebastian Stan is the cameo in this movie. He's the only character in this movie. He's the bully who beats him up. That was yeah, that's Sebastian.
Speaker 2:Stan yeah, it was, this is a young one. This is before the oh. Wow, it is a really young one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's been in between this because captain america. When a soldier came out 2014 actually, even like the captain america the first one he was in that one and that came out 2011 or, yeah, 2011 I believe so, like right after yeah so I mean this is the point of his life like where he's kind of just started branching out his own. But he was funny in in this movie, like just a douchebag.
Speaker 2:Like a super pro-American. They thought they were Nazis because they found the can that has Chernobyl or something.
Speaker 1:Yeah, or something.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's funny shit.
Speaker 1:Like count backwards from 60 and then you see him, hide him against the wall.
Speaker 2:But it's a bomb walking backwards with the can.
Speaker 1:But when they're walking through the ski resort for the first time to see like and that question, like where craig robinson asked like what color is michael jackson? Apparently that was improvised yeah great line that made the movie instead. Also that line when they're realizing it was a hot tub time machine. He was like it's some kind of hot tub time machine. He looks directly in the camera.
Speaker 2:That was also improvised I didn't know that that's good yeah craig robinson is the man you know.
Speaker 1:He's around from around here. He's so funny.
Speaker 2:He's from around where is he from?
Speaker 1:like chicago. Okay, like I, he used to teach school like I. I know people who he was their substitute. Uh, music teacher, no shit yeah, that's cool yeah, like he used to teach, like in hammond knee, chicago, so he's a sub. Uh, I think he did teach, but he's slid around a little bit. Okay, that's cool. Yeah, he's like he's a. He's one of favorite characters in the office. He's a. He's a hilarious man.
Speaker 2:I you'd like the office a lot, don't you?
Speaker 1:I love the office a lot.
Speaker 2:You just see my dwight pillow right there you had that and you've referenced it like a couple times already. Yeah, yeah. You know what. You're going to hate me for this, but I've never really watched the Office.
Speaker 1:Oh man, it's a good show, I've never liked that type of genre. Like I can see what you mean. And when people are watching it it's always hard to get into the first season because it is kind of dry. But once you get a sense of the humor.
Speaker 2:It's hilarious. It's good. Yeah, yeah, never really got into it.
Speaker 1:Definitely give it a try uh, there's actually a spin-off of the office coming out pretty soon, very soon. Um like it's the same world, just like different kind of company like is it any of the original cast? Or I think a couple have been confirmed so far. I don't know about like being major characters, definitely cameos though cool yeah, nice yeah. Um, I didn't.
Speaker 1:There's not even that much to say about hot like it's it's a funny movie and it's funny bits we can talk about, uh, but this is definitely one like you just have on in the background, even like if you're having that with your boys, and just have it on.
Speaker 2:It is a funny watch with a group of people, especially too it's funny, like when they first went back and they're like, like you said, they're all wearing like 70s, 80s stuff and the guy's coming down the mountain with that huge brick of a cell phone yeah and he's like I'm calling you from on top of the mountain and he goes.
Speaker 1:You owe me two dollars. That line was specific. I did read a fun fact about that line. That was specifically. It was like a reference to the main character, uh, john cusack's old movie I can't remember which movie, but it's an older movie, like they say the same thing. So that was a reference to him. Yeah, and, but Craig Robinson's character going back and claiming old songs to be his. That's why I asked you that question in the beginning because, that's okay.
Speaker 1:I would a thousand percent do the same thing if I had the talent to do that. I mean, yeah, you want to create Google. If you were to create Google right now, if no one knew about Google, but only you did, I still wouldn't even know how to start it up.
Speaker 2:Oh, it'd be so difficult.
Speaker 1:Like just trying to explain it to somebody.
Speaker 2:But if you got the idea, though, and you just get the right people around you, they can make it happen. It's just all about knowing the people, because he knows exactly how it works inside and out. He just doesn't know how to get that done. All he's got to do is just find some people.
Speaker 1:I would definitely use software engineers and knowledge. I would make movies instead of like music. That would be my thing that would be my niche.
Speaker 2:See the when he just made that song like that and like raw dogged it. I don't think I could do that because I don't know if I'd be able to remember a whole song like that and just off the dome like that there's a lot of my favorite songs.
Speaker 1:I don't even know every single lyric, yeah yeah, plus I'm not good at singing, so well, this craig and robson real life. He's a very talented man he plays a lot of instruments and um, yeah, yeah, what would you give this movie?
Speaker 1:one out of ten hot tub time machine, probably like a five there's also a sequel, too that I've never seen, but I heard the main cast comes back and we talked about this like I don't know where they're gonna go from here, like what else can they do? And they come back in time. They do, change a lot of stuff and then like and benefits of them it could be funny to do like a darker movie, like to see what they really fucked up and like you know, like let's see, you can see jeff basil's like living like a homeless shelter or something you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I never watched the second one, but if I had to take a guess, if I was the director, maybe they go back in time to try to fix everything that the one dude changed.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But I don't know. I've never seen the movie, so yeah.
Speaker 1:Maybe next time you come on. Yeah, yeah, it was a solid movie choice. I'd probably give it, like you said, a 5 out of 10.
Speaker 2:I said 5,.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'd probably give it a 5 out of 10 as well. Yeah, this is something I know I'm going to watch again, but I'm not going to go out of my way and watch it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, we were just taking place last. Let me see, it was last Sunday, I believe, so it was 420, also Easter. And we were part. We are partaking in 420 activities and that's why we watched. On Jesus' birthday we watched Hot Sub Time Machine Went back to the 80s, 70s on Jesus' birthday, his second birthday he came back.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, this is something I'm going to put on when I'm cleaning the house, or something like that. It's funny.
Speaker 2:It's funny and it's even funnier if you forgot some of the jokes from before, like I did, and you know, just reliving it it's a pretty good movie, yeah, but you're not gonna sit there and lock in on it. Exactly. There's some movies that you gotta lock in on like the accountant two well yeah that's a bad one, the accountant one, I would say counting one, definitely. Um, I recently watched dune two. I watched dune one and dune two and I felt like I had to lock in on those.
Speaker 1:Definitely because it was boring as shit.
Speaker 2:Well.
Speaker 1:I thought so. It's a long movie, but I think Robert Pattinson just joined Dune 3 too.
Speaker 2:Did he? Yeah, I mean, I'd watch Dune 3.
Speaker 1:I think you got like A long ass time, I think next winter, if I'm not mistaken. Are there any movies coming out that you've seen in the trailers? Maybe that you're kind of go see?
Speaker 2:the one coming out next week.
Speaker 1:I want to see thunderbolts, thunderbolts, yeah definitely our friend glenn's coming back on last time he just up as captain america. Uh, maybe we can do it again, get him to do it again yeah, glenn is a stony baloney, yeah stony baloney. I like that, yeah, but any other movies that you're thinking about, like, like, uh, you excited for the fantastic four, for superman, for the mission impossible movie?
Speaker 2:you know what, when we were watching the trailers before the accountant, I had no idea that was a mission impossible movie. So, and it's kind of wise of me base on this. Are they like giving him like? Did you see the last one? No, I don't think I did.
Speaker 1:The last one was like supposed to be a part one, part two, because that was Final Reckoning, part one and this is supposed to be part two, but they just changed it to the Final Reckoning or something like that.
Speaker 2:I forgot. So in the trailer they shot him up. He went in that thing and did he get superpowers? Damn near.
Speaker 1:I don't know, because there's a lot of footage. I haven't seen all of them. There's a lot of footage from past Mission Impossible movies, so I don't know which one was old and which one was new.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I mean, it looked pretty decent though, Honestly, when I saw the trailer. It looked all right, but then that's a series just like Final or not Final. Fast and Furious, Fast and furious. That's just that's you know drawn out.
Speaker 1:Man, I think about it and you. It's like all those cliches, like when you're like thinking about it's like a story, like like comic books almost. Like it's not always the same continuous story, like it's just random stories at the point of their lives, like that's exactly what the mission possible movies are, like they don't really have to connect, which most of them don't connect this is a random story from the superhero, or, yeah, super guy, um pat, thanks for coming on.
Speaker 2:Dude, yeah, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1:I'm excited to release this episode. Um, next week is thunderbolts and I'm excited to get into that with glenn because I just love marvel. I'm ready for more to come back. I'm hearing nothing but good things about this movie. Uh, the count two worth seeing again. Maybe not in theaters, but it's worth seeing yeah, it was a pretty good movie all right.
