Nobody 2
New review for Bob Odenkirk's new action sequel, Nobody 2. We discussed our thoughts on the franschise, discuss the plot, casting, and writing.
We first kick off the episode by discussing HBO Peacemaker show and the James Gunn's track record. We also discuss streaming platforms and current shows we are watching, including Alien Romulus. And end the show with a quick review of Freaky Tales, currently streaming on HBO Max.
excuse me, is anybody sitting here? Sorry, this is taken. Sorry, all right. I am pleased to announce that I am all caught up on peacemaker now oh, right in time the week beforehand.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, what did you think? It was good it was good.
Speaker 1:I had zero idea about the plot. I just knew it was john cena as peacemaker and I. I knew a handful of the actors from other movies and stuff yeah did not know the villains were butterflies and a space cow, that thing.
Speaker 1:I mean it's so ridiculous, it's so fun. John cena is a lot of fun but like a lot of his characters are just this character now like just it's just goofy. He's goofy guy, he's a good. I love watching him interview. He's such a nice guy too. It was a great show. I didn't realize james gunn also wrote that show too.
Speaker 2:The first season wrote and directed. That's like his one-two combo, um. And now, obviously, with superman, he's using this to tie everything back, like we had a new uh universe I. It's his world, man, we're just living in it he's man.
Speaker 1:This guy is so fucking talented. I get writing the guardians of the galaxy like you put your heart and soul into that. I get writing scooby-doo, right. How do you do that and become hits with so many different characters? You know, like, what is the secret? Like how does he put himself in the mindset of doing a superman movie versus a peacemaker movie? Totally different kind of vibes, superman's boy scout, this one's like like juvenile stuff like he it's.
Speaker 1:It's insane how his mind works. I like listening to his podcast, like I warrant his guest appearances because it's like you're picking his brain a little bit at a time.
Speaker 2:It's, he's a genius, I'm happy and now like to see this creator turn ceo, but like he's a genius. And now like to see this creator turn CEO, but like he's purely on that. I'm focused on, like making more things. Like even he just talked about how he has already finished or is about to finish the story for the new Superman family movie. And everyone's like do you sleep? Like are you actually producing this? And it'd be one thing if it was the same content, like you said, like I, even part of me, can see the jump between a guardians and then a suicide squad, right like it's just r-rated guardians, like in your head. But then you watch the movie, you're like no, this is completely different. And then picking peacemaker to make the movie about, and now superman it's like this guy is hamilton, like writing and writing until he's running out of time, like this is everything to me I mean he's he's talked about before writing peacemaker season two while on vacation with his wife and friends.
Speaker 1:Um, in my mind I'm like, is she gonna do complain like she's the one getting put in these movies for? No, she's actually like give me more screen time if you don't mind exactly yeah, she has that that I have heard, actually I, she does not complain about it at all, I mean, she understands his job and um she's all for it, which is cool.
Speaker 2:He yeah well it pops to her. I didn't. I didn't know um like about the relationship until peacemaker um, and I was like I get it, I would do the exact same thing. Um, I did. Um, obviously there was like a little bit of backlash when he announced that he was resetting the universe and, you know, wiping the slate clean like all new characters, but of course, his few characters from peacemaker would still be around. How did you feel about that?
Speaker 1:I'm all for it because, especially how popular peacemaker was, I'm just more curious how he's gonna do it because, like, justice league does make an appearance at the end of the first season and we see from the trailers it's gonna be like a multiversal. He's gonna come in face to face with another peacemaker, so, like, is he gonna just take a spot? And if that's the case, what about all these other characters that we fell in love with? You know, like what's gonna happen there? Because he doesn't have any other ties with this universe. Basically, besides this group of people and I think it's safe to say about the other group too, they don't really have any odds besides this one group together, exactly Maybe the one I can't remember her name but the one who's a Waller's daughter. She has a wife, like is the wife going to come over to? Like, how exactly is it going to work?
Speaker 2:I think only a handful. But yeah, I'm right there with you. You know, minus that post or minus the justice league showing up, they, they do have a little bit more of a clean slate if I'm not mistaken waller's uh canon to the new one too right yes, and that's the thing that kind of threw me, like he said, and obviously it could be more from the show. He said for sure, cena parkourt and um waller.
Speaker 1:So I'm, I'm, I'm very curious on who else so I'm, I'm, I'm very curious on who else makes the uh, the jump over. I I don't see too much coming over. Um, just because I think it is smart to start with a clean slate. I, I really liked it. I mean, if I don't think if somebody else wrote and directed peacemaker season one, I can see them having a chance of not coming over. But because gene guns, who put his heart and soul to this and he really fell in love with the character, of course he's going to do whatever he can to bring them over.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is his love letter. But I remember I got into an argument about Superman with one of my buddies and I said, hey, are you going to watch it? He's like no, I don't think it's going to be good. And I walked him through. I'm like hey, did you like Guardians? Yeah, I loved it. I was like you like Guardians 2 and 3? Absolute bangers. Did you like Peacemaker? Yeah. Did you like Suicide Squad? Yeah, then you're going to like Superman. It's the same dude who wrote it and now he's in charge. I think the best thing. Firing James Gunn, like can you imagine where we would be if that didn't happen? And he was still. You know he would essentially be Kevin Feige at this point because that was originally the plan for him. And now you know they're reaping the fruits of their labor on the DC end.
Speaker 1:I mean DC wanted James Gunn for longest to write a Superman movie. I think at the time he was going to do this is like when he just got fired. Kevin Feige thought he was going to go write a Superman movie for him but for them. But he decided it was a Suicide Squad movie. He didn't want to do Superman quite yet. But if he had it would have been for the Henry Caldwell Superman too. So I think it would have. I think it was best for him to start off clean and with a brand new super 100% and like not for nothing.
Speaker 2:And obviously you know the super, uh, the suicide squad film. Amongst people who've seen it now Absolutely love it. It's adored. At the time coming post COVID, it only made like 300 mil, Like it was a flop by box office standards. Um, but I'm glad that they stuck with him and was like no, that's a quality film, You're a great director. Like let's just keep the ball rolling. And again, like I think for him seeing, obviously, when Marvel dumped him or Disney dumped him I should, I should clarify and even though they brought him back, like DC just stuck with him and was like nope, you're the guy we, this is what we want. So I think that was really important for him as well.
Speaker 1:Yeah, how about this isn't like to have a short theater run for Superman too, Like it's already available to rent and you can buy it on? It's going to be streaming on um max pretty soon, I would say with I'll give it like less than a month.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm happy that, um, cause typically they have that 45 weight day window deal. But I I see a little tom cruise in him and was like you know what, let's actually still keep it in the theater like we're not doing an exclusive deal this time. And I think that's gonna pan out for him because, let me tell you, I can't believe we didn't talk about this yet. Did you see the featurette?
Speaker 1:like the behind the scenes feature I've seen clips of it but that isn't my list to watch and it it looks amazing, especially that scene where he fell in love with david cornfield, like that, that monologue. At the end they have their back and forth about like the reasoning behind it and just see them as an actor like just really brainstorm it out and he's just gonna be like, hey, just trust me, bro, I got this literally just yeah, let me, let me cook.
Speaker 2:Um, yeah, I, I watched it. It's incredible. I sent it to danny. Uh, I said, hey, bro, this is like one of the best behind the scenes clips I've ever seen in my life. And he called me. He said that's a movie, it's an hour long, but I'm like that's fair, that's fair. Watch it anyway. Uh. But it also made me really excited to go, uh, go out and buy it on physical media when it comes out oh, I'm sure, because it'd probably be a bunch of deleted scenes, behind the scenes stuff.
Speaker 1:Um, there has to be some cool cover art or something like that inside the case. Um, yeah, that that's. I'm excited for dce dcu, but I just finished peacemaker 2. I told you I think I want to be more involved with pop culture shows, so I'm going to go watch a lot of shows I didn't catch up on, like um, you're gonna kill me for this, but I've never seen stranger things. I know the new season's coming out very soon. I want to go through breeze, do that, but I just started because it's brand new and I'm watching as it's coming out. Uh, alien earth that's on hulu right now.
Speaker 2:Okay, are you big fan of so far?
Speaker 1:I'm only like halfway through the first episode and it's very, I would say, nostalgic, but also like a like a great tribute to the original ones, because the way the opening shot is it's pretty much exactly the first aliens movie, like it's almost shot for shot the same. It looks cool. Okay, have you seen those? Are you a big fan of those franchise?
Speaker 2:I'm not. I'm not just because, uh, uh, you know me and horror, like it's not technically horror, but it's like weird enough where I never wanted to go see it and it just never fell into my lap.
Speaker 1:You haven't seen alien romulus, then, oh man, you're missing out such a great movie no, the girl plays hawk.
Speaker 2:I'm superman. She's in there and she I I think I said on the review like she's gonna become the new scream queen, because her scream was so great in that movie um but this that is my fear if she falls into the uh because she's going, she's on the line of becoming like a jenna ortega type, and if that happens I'll be pissed oh no, you know what she's adora with a soft girl.
Speaker 1:I don't think she's gonna do the same thing as jenna ortega.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she's a lot I mean I've seen just like you, like it's funny. I've seen this girl forever now like a similar. I know I know her from there. Um the like mark walbert movie, um there was like this really weird jason momoa movie with her, like I like. But now I finally like recognize her when she's on screen, like I think it started when I was watching last of us. I was like, isn't that that girl?
Speaker 1:and now from this I'm like all right, she's, she's a working actress, so go her good, yeah, working actress, understand, dude, she's been in so many things in the past two years, um, and top of that, she's gorgeous. I love watching her on screen. I think she's one of my celebrity crushes, I should say. Um, I figure we're leading with that, but alien franchise, like I, I'm like it's still coming out. I think the first two episodes are available right now, but there are a lot of easter eggs that I'm going to go through and re-watch them. Um, um, but I'm having fun with this. So far, it's a good show, it's a good promise this does. There's, like, several alien movies out, and this takes place between the first movie and alien rom, alien romulus, so I'm waiting to see the connection there.
Speaker 2:I think there is a confirmed sequel for alien romulus, so I'm excited to hear that or see that I'm excited for all of you because I genuinely like people are putting that in the top five of the year for that. Well you know. So, hey, have a good time. I may end up watching it. I think you, you can convince me.
Speaker 1:It's, it's I'm well, besides just being a good horror movie and a good sci-fi movie, it's just a great storytelling movie. Um, it's, it's. It puts you in a place like damn, I wonder how I would react, and kind of things like that. It's especially watching. I remember watching alien rhyming in theaters by myself and I was. I was like terrified. It was good the way, the show. And then I watched it again like a year later in a in with my friend's house with a bunch of us. All of us sucked, sucked in, loved it. So it does hold up. I think it's gonna hold up for a long time.
Speaker 1:All the alien really movies really hold up, just because, for the simple fact, all these movies are taking place like in 200, 300 years from now, um, so you can't really plug it in. I mean, this is the first time I'm not sure the first time or one of the first times that you see this franchise on earth. Like it's canon out that the ice age movies are in this universe. Like I don't know if you've seen that tweet or meme yet someone is watching ice age um, meltdown or something like that, whatever one of the uh um, but it is canon, it is fun, it is part of pop culture and I'm excited for it. I'm excited for everything alien does. Um, I'm gonna be excited for stranger things. That's gonna be my next big bear that I'll tackle. Um, I think I got peacemaker done in two weeks, which is insane because it's only eight episodes but they're like over an hour long each. I do watch on my lunch breaks and then I'll watch it when I'm folding laundry, but that's about it.
Speaker 2:Um, when when you're going back to peacemaker real quick. Obviously we always. We always talk about the difference between binging and watching. Now that you've seen it, can you imagine the like stress we were all going through?
Speaker 1:yeah, after a week waiting for like the next episode to drop, why I'm so glad I timed it perfectly. Like last season was like two years ago, right, yeah, this, yeah, like I have to wait a week, so it is perfect time. Do you like it when the streaming system drops all the episodes at once, or would you prefer week by week?
Speaker 2:if it's not an important show, drop it to me all at once, like if it's like, but if it's something like peacemaker, that I need to hit the pop culture, like injection into my veins, that I think it has to be weekly. That's what gets every, because then it, like spoilers is really the thing that messes it up. If it drops in one time, everyone's afraid to talk about it because you don't know what episode everyone is on. If it's weekly, you're like all right, you, you better be caught up, because now, like, we're all again anticipating together, so I think it has a longer staying power. What about you?
Speaker 1:I think that's a I was gonna say all at once, but you put up a very good argument it is fun like we're all enjoying it together, versus like if it comes out on wednesday night. Well, a lot of people work wednesday night and you know, like you said, there's a bunch of articles like it is good for content creators too, who do reviews or just talk about easter eggs and stuff like that. Um, they can spread out their content a little bit more. Um versus, like you said, oh, you got content for the weekend you know yeah so I I do enjoy that.
Speaker 1:It's just anticipation, also like it's throwback when we used to watch tv shows with his family, like back in the day, you know, let's all gather around thursday nights or something like that to view it.
Speaker 2:I remember when the uh, the mandalorian first dropped, like I, we would all go to sweat's house like cram in his basement, like people I didn't even talk to, and just like watch this hour of Star Wars television. Like there's something about that part like having a plan to do, like let's order some Dora to Ashley, let's get a drink or two and let's let's you know, make this a moment. And I think that that means more to me.
Speaker 1:What is a show that you remember that your family used to do that to Like when you were younger family or friends, I guess Throwback which is hilarious for me.
Speaker 2:We watch Grey, we're friends, I guess, throwback. Uh, which is hilarious for me, bro, I, we watch gray's anatomy religiously, like I, you gotta think. I have three sisters and my mom, like me, and my dad were out numbered and my dad was, you know, preaching. So it was a thursday night, it was shonda verse on abc network. Uh, uh, gray's anatomy scandal and how to get away with murder. But gray's is. Gray's is the one that always stuck with me.
Speaker 1:Nice, nice.
Speaker 1:I remember this isn't like a reality show, but dude, I don't know why, because I have two brothers, a sister and my mom in this home, and we all had different tastes, very different tastes, but one that I remember we all came up with was America's Best Dance Crew. Every Thursday night on MTV, we used to watch that all the fucking time. None of us can dance, mind you, like I don't know what our interest was. The jet, the jet walkies, had us sucked in every week. Um, I remember me and my mom usually used to watch shows a lot, but the good doctor was another one. Um, okay, the flash on cw me and my dad used to watch you know what is also every thursday night was impractical jokers.
Speaker 1:That was a big one for a lot of us too. Love, oh you know what?
Speaker 2:oh, you just unlocked the memory. We used to watch um operation repo. Yeah, oh my god, that show was on 24 7 my dad loves shows like that.
Speaker 1:Um, what's the one in detroit? The pawn shop, yeah, and pawn stars? Um, my dad still watches to this day. He used to watch jerry springers and mori every single day. Uh, jerry springer, mori and uh, steve wilkos that was his guy, steve wilkos, though, granted, like you stay home from work, school or something like that, you guarantee that's going to be on the tv 1000.
Speaker 1:You know that 11 am hour yeah um, this is a long intro for people. Listen, we are doing a movie review. This episode we're going to be talking about nobody too. Um, it's been a while like it's a lot of movie news and now one thing you do want to bring up like there's there's been a lot of Spider-Man news too lately.
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely. We got, like you know, more set photos. Like obviously they're doing like a little bit more of an open set. You know, I'm still split on it because I'm enjoying everything we're seeing, but I am getting nervous Like I don't want to see everything, like leave some for the theater. But like this is how you market a movie I know we talked about this last time like showing that building this anticipation without really giving anything away, like a year in advance, this movie is going to be great. Everything I've seen so far all indicates that way. How are you feeling about it?
Speaker 1:I'm kind of the same boat. I'm getting a little bit nervous too. But, like I said, like this is as of right now, I I guarantee you, when a movie comes out, I'm gonna forget everything I saw uh, some people aren't like me.
Speaker 1:Um, it is scheduled. I think they just finished scheduling uh, filming outdoors, like where they were that previously, like they're moving on, probably the like closed sets now. Um, and I can see them adding in cgi care, like the hulk later, or something like that or whatever. Because that's the thing, like you, you, what happens with this footage that you see them filming? People are just guessing what the plot is going to be now.
Speaker 1:Like that scene with the tanks, like oh it's, it's punisher, going to go fight the hulk. I was like that's 100 when I saw I kind of like, no, I kind of doubt that they won. Like well, the hulk the last we've seen him, he's like a dad now and as smart hulk, like and like I I seen. I don't know if you follow the escape. I think you do, because you sent me a couple of tickets. Oh yeah, one of the things they talked about was like the plot is rumored to be someone is going to trade the hawk and that's how we're going to get savage hawk again. But they were like like then, that's like the eighth time someone tried doing that. Like you have loki, you have like wanda and you know ultron and stuff like that in it's.
Speaker 2:It's a little bit lazy at that point, so like I don't see them she-hulk, like that was the entire plot of she-hulk yeah, I don't see.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly, I don't see that happening. I hope not at least, and that that is like I, I don't know, and that, no, I that makes me nervous, that better not be the case, let me tell you that right now it better not be and like for why?
Speaker 2:you know there's so much like the whole point about this one, and the thing that I think is getting the most people excited is the street-level crime. You know, like Spidey, and that's why the Punisher like makes sense. So obviously, if the Hulk the thing is, in every one of the Spider-Man movies he's had a mentor that was an Avenger Like. That's why it works right from Iron man to Doctor Strange, and now like it would make sense that a science-based Bruce Banner Hulk version is the one like trying to coach him or mentor him through this. So that's where I think I don't know why everyone just assumes it's gonna be batshit Hulk.
Speaker 1:That doesn't even make sense you also gotta remember, like Bruce Banner was Bruce Banner in Shang-C chi, like in that incredible 100 with a broken arm still we never saw like, okay, can he change back then, or like you know it was, it was weird.
Speaker 1:Um, I mean shang chi, we just haven't heard anything about sense. There's so much like stuff that's hanging, I think they're. I think marvel has taken notes on that. Yeah, they're done doing that stuff with the cliffhangers, um, but spider-man, as far as we know, like there's, there's the punisher, there's uh hawk, there's scorpion, you know, I think you know, because the rule is with sony like if he goes he's spying was gonna be in a marvel movie, he has to be with an a-list avenger.
Speaker 2:And I remember when it first came out, like I think it was paul rudd originally who was gonna, who was gonna be the ant-man, I think they switched to mark ruffalo, which I think, well, once clark manias came out, I, I, I don't see anything else, um zendaya and his friend um, what's his name?
Speaker 1:in the movie ned ned is returning too, I think, for bigger, big roles again too, if I'm not mistaken, which is like all right, you can kind of leave them behind, like I wouldn't be upset if you left them. Mind, uh, because there's also talks about introducing harry osborn in this movie rumors that miles morales is going to be in there. Because, like, uh, they're casting for the I can't remember her name, for the lady from the bear is rumored to play his mom in this movie.
Speaker 2:Okay, um that's interesting.
Speaker 1:Mary jane is supposed like I. I know.
Speaker 2:I did see that, sadie, yeah it hasn't been confirmed.
Speaker 1:That's who she is, but it's most likely.
Speaker 2:I would say yeah that's her and I'm okay with that. I want to see a love triangle. I don't care, a love triangle.
Speaker 1:I remember at one point there was talks about him having a love interest with an X-Men, which he does for a short period of time in the comics. Um, that'd be interesting. That'd be cool way to tie in the x-men too. Um, I was at this point. I just want to see him be friends with johnny storm yeah, oh they, we talked about this.
Speaker 2:You know they're gonna get along yeah, yeah it's.
Speaker 1:It's interesting how they're gonna do everything, which is this was gonna take place between avengers, doomsday and secret wars. Secret wars now it. Just that didn't make sense With the kind of story you wanted to tell in the new one. It's kind of good because I think it's going to hopefully end with going into Doomsday. It still hasn't been confirmed to how Mulholland's going to be in Doomsday, but I would say for sure Secret Wars at least. Because in the Secret Wars, that's where he gets the Venom suit. He'll suit, he'll need to be in secret wars. I can't imagine a world where they don't. Yeah, and I don't know. Like tom holland is so wishy-washy, we're like, oh, like I'm gonna retire after this year and like I'm done playing spider-man and then like, yeah, but he's excited to come on the set and stuff like that. I was like so do you want to keep playing or what like? Are you not happy with this kind of role? Like no, I think he is.
Speaker 2:I think he's good for this trilogy. I think that he is absolutely going to make another trilogy and then he may retire from acting or depending, you know what it's going to be, depending on the reaction to him in the Odyssey, right, because this is his first like not first real role. But this is like he's number two, it's Matt Damon. It's him In a Christopher Nolan-directed movie. So this, like you're standing on your own here, man, he's number two. It's matt damon. It's him, uh, in a christopher nolan directed movie. So this, like you're standing on your own here, man you got. Do you have this to be the next? You know, live up to the timothy chalamet as a peer, or are you gonna fall behind?
Speaker 1:um, once, if he does good in this movie, I think he would eventually move up to leonardo theCaprio status, where he can come out with a movie once every five years then yeah, well, and he's talking about this, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're absolutely right. He's, you know, happy living his life with Zendaya, which don't blame him.
Speaker 1:And coming with both of them. They could stop working today and never have to work a day in their life, and never for the rest of, for a whole generation.
Speaker 2:They're already taken care of. So that's also like he's built this empire, uh, but I think like it's not. Like ego is the wrong word, but I think he really wants to prove to everybody that he is more than just spider-man. I think that's really important to him.
Speaker 1:So you know, once this happens, he'll be good to go which isn't wrong, because, like all the spiderman done that tubby mcguire did the same thing. Started without andrew garfield, like they, they'd gone to have very successful career. I think andrew garfield has the biggest one so far, for sure for sure, two-time oscar nominated.
Speaker 1:I want to say yeah, yeah and, like tom, honda also loves doing theater too, so he probably would want to slow down for that. Like I said, zendaya is between I think she has her makeup line and he has like a um, non-alcoholic beer line plus with other small business probably. So they're good, like I'm excited because, like they're, marvel's gonna go through a soft reboot and my biggest question is, like, all right, is this still gonna be my spider-man, you know? Is he gonna be making it at the end of it? I think I don't. It hasn't been confirmed that they're doing a trilogy with the second half.
Speaker 2:Um no, but yes it's, it's unofficial.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But we all know what they're trying to do.
Speaker 1:I know he's really. He would like to hand it off to miles Morales, which will be cool, but there's so many cool Spider-Man stories I want to see you know like I want, especially like now teenager that's how it's looking, uh, and that's exactly like.
Speaker 2:That's why I love what's happening so far, like we saw high school spidey and now I'm excited to see like the growth of that yeah, there's talks.
Speaker 1:We're going to get a norman osborne too, and um harry osborne I want to see, I want to see the green goblin again.
Speaker 2:You know well yeah you, if this is all we're getting, I want to see them go all out. But yeah, you're exactly right. Like then, the goal is not to reset, it's just to pass the torch. And I think, once you know, even if his trilogy really counts as this movie, doomsday, and you know, secret wars, if he pops up in both um, or if he does like aing one after Secret Wars. That was my three-picture deal. I'm done. Passing the baton off to that new generation is going to be foundational.
Speaker 1:He will then have been Spider-Man Do you think they would just stop making him appearance, or do you think they would kill him off?
Speaker 2:No, I think they would just, just oh, do like another spider verse. Like he is the uncle ben, you know, like he's the inception of, like that. That would be cool, I think that they're. They'd be crazy to do that because of how young tom holland is. I think, like the, the idea of having him out there, you know um, and you can bring him back at any time, would be very attractive to sony and I mean it just begs the question like how long do you think marvel is going to keep going like it's been going since 08?
Speaker 2:when they stopped making billion dollar movies.
Speaker 2:You know not even when they stopped making 650 million dollar movies when they started making 500 million dollar movies. A story is a story is a story. I think that it made a lot of people nervous. What feige said about secret wars, essentially resetting the mcu, yeah, um. But that also intrigued me in a way that's like all right when you say reset. My interpretation of that, which would be positive, is starting at this point, you don't need to watch the other 40 movies to be caught up, like we don't have to do homework to get into this. If it like resets us in a way, that's like all right, you can hop in here and this is the new launch point, because we're going to have so many characters that you can then follow whoever you like.
Speaker 1:I think that is what will help the MCU and it's kind of why it's because that's we're going to lead up to. You think we would start hearing casting now around this time, you know, for, like, the new captain america or the new wolverine or whatever it may be, I feel like that's something they should be working on now. If not, they probably are, but I would think we would hear about it.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, yeah I mean the same thing. Like uh, uh, desmond. Um, you know who's like black panther. Like they're already. They know who it is like, but he's you. Whether they're in contract negotiations or they just don't want to, you know they're protecting it. People also forget at last point on this how good Marvel was in its peak of not saying anything. Like they have. They had that under wraps, like that's why they made the joke of Kevin Feige with the sniper when they're doing interviews, like they're not going to share anything that they don't want to. Uh, on their time frame, there's leaks that are happening, but for the most part they'll be good.
Speaker 1:Yeah and I think it is rumored that any minute now or any day now, we should be getting another casting chair thing that they did for the first time really see who else might be in it.
Speaker 1:I think it's so. I think I believe that rumor just because, like, ryan reynolds made that weird post on Instagram Did you see that with anarchy sign over the Avenger sign? It was like that's kind of random timing and he didn't know leave any context with it. Like, okay, like, is it going to be like another Spider-Man thing where they're filming outside and people are going to eventually end up seeing costumes and actors which is that they did it, and-man and everything? Yeah, um, so I think that's what they're gonna get set up for doing, because they're gonna be filming in public a little bit more. Um, a lot of, a lot of a lot of movie. Marvel updates uh, dc has a lot of great things going on too, so, but we, I think it's time for us to get into the movie review we're going to be talking about nobody to just came out.
Speaker 1:I've been like openly like judgmental and hating over this movie before I've seen it, before I even see the first one. I've seen the first one the day before I've seen the second one, um, starring Bob Odenkirk. And for people to know, about nobody too. This movie is about suburban dad hutch mansell. A former lethal assassin, is pulled back into the violent past after thwarting a home invasion, setting off a chain events of a that unravel secrets about his wife becca's past and his own. Okay, let's talk about the first one for like a bit, because I feel like this movie this first one and second one was exactly the same, with the exception with his wife. It even opens up exactly the same with him getting interrogated looking all tough and then like who are you?
Speaker 1:and of course, at least at the time of card, nobody, kind of like invincible in the show. Invincible, yeah, um. So the first one? Like both these movies? Well, I should say the second. Um, so the first one like both these movies? Well, I should say the second one, because the first one was exactly as bad as I thought it was gonna be. The second one did surprise me a little bit because it did a little bit better. I know what you're gonna say, but listen, hear me out.
Speaker 1:I feel like I don't know if this movie and maybe it wasn't, maybe that's why I'm not getting it the movie was written as a spoof on other movies like this, because I feel like this movie took all the cliches from John Wick to Taken and all of the Jason Statham movies, all the cliches and put them in this movie, between the cheesy, lazy plot line, the chain of reactions to the mystery past, to the cheesy one-liners after killing somebody like and on top of it, it's bob odenkirk, who's not known for roles like this. He's known for comedy, which is the same thing like well, I wouldn't say like, like comedy, but like liam nielsen, like before taken. I wouldn't no one would ever forget he was in roles like this and now that's all he gets offered. It was this tough guy roles. Same thing with jason statham like he, that that's his role. It's the same kind of person like so, bob casting bob odenkirk was reminding me of leonis neeson in this kind of role. Like the older man who you don't realize is a very talented, yeah, assassin. On top of that you have cliches like the mystery past, like, okay, this guy was also established assassin. He even has gold coins.
Speaker 1:Like john wick. Um, if you were to tell me that this movie was in the john wick world, I would totally believe it. Like he has a handler, kind of like winston and the continental yep. Um, he has a brother who comes in at the very last second. Help him. Kind of like john fishers uh, not john fishers um, what's his name? Lawrence fish. For lawrence fishburn's character I can't talk um. So I feel like this movie just borrows way, way too much, to the point where I was like, okay, they have to be doing this as a joke, almost I told you listen, this is what I meant, where I'm like it's in the same.
Speaker 2:like John Wick, like gun foo We've seen this from John Wick to pig to this, to silent night or violent night Like it's the same thing. So for me this one was a little bit more surprising because it is like Bob Odenkirk and like he plays it very well. I think if this movie took itself any more seriously I'd probably hate it. But the first one, like, was so good and like this Monday, because it was different of like obviously we have these revenge tales and like that's what he's doing. But it's like the family dynamic of this guy just getting beat to shit, his relationship sucks, his kids don't respect him and he's just like silently, like don't activate me, bro. Like at once this, you can't put the genie back in the bottle. So I appreciate it. Like his journey of like just trying to get the stupid uh thing for his daughter, uh, but like, how crazy that guy I think this is like what every white suburban dad thinks he is 100 like yeah, don't fuck with me don't fuck with my family because I will fuck you up.
Speaker 1:This guy's like taking all armies, like killed assassins and stuff that to the point. Like you know that there's jokes in john wick movie like he's the guy you go sent to kill the boogeyman. I would like to see a crossover where Bob Odenkirk is the boogeyman and see that face.
Speaker 2:Okay, that would be okay. But that's the thing too. Like it's not even and maybe this is like I have a little bit more like pay attention to it in different ways, because obviously like the military background for me, but I'm always like I don't want the guy to be a superhero, you know, I don't need that, um, but I do want him like it's different when he's going against the assassins, but when he's just beating up makes my heart happen like hell. Yeah, like when he gets back on the bus in the first one and he's like all right, like you had your chance and is wrecking them uh, you know that worked for me versus you know we'll talk about the new one. Uh, there's some scenes in this one that I was like all right, to your point, we've, we've crossed the line. Like it is getting a little campy okay.
Speaker 1:So I'm glad you brought that up because, like the first one, it was good. With action, I'm not gonna bash the action at all because the killings, the fighting, the gun scenes were very cool. Even they even pulled off christopher lloyd making me laugh holding the shotgun. You know being a badass, you know he felt cool that day. You know this is probably one of the coolest action scenes he's ever done in his whole career with bob odenkirk. And to see them like back to back to back, you know it was funny, it was good.
Speaker 1:Um, the second movie we can get into the second movie now because it's I like the. The best thing I liked about this movie is this movie is like a direct uh cause direct sequel to the events that happened in the first one, which might mean, but like that, he's a retired assassin but he's brought back into work because of his actions. In the first one he he ended up taking the russian mafia's uh cash and burning it. So now he has to get back, pulled in the game and work it off. So he's working non-stop assassins. I like that aspect of it and that's why the reason he was pulled back into the game, versus like another stupid reason or anything like that, like as the first movie. Like, uh, like you said, it stole her daughter's bracelet, I think. Yeah, so that was a good reason to have him keep doing it.
Speaker 1:And then it's catching up. It's taking a toll on him physically and it's also taking a toll on his marriage and his family. He's not there as much, um. So you know what? Let's do? A family vacation. So the plot of aspect of where we're at now I like that at all, but everything else was exactly the same. Like he ends up pissing out the wrong guys and it's like a miscommunication of what's been going on and then, well, fuck, the boss catches wind of it and now you gotta face off the boss. It's like same and again saved by your brother and your and your dad. Again, like it's, it's the same exact movie, um, with the exception of the wife being more understanding of it now. And also you find out she has a little bit skill at the end. Um, but I feel like that was brought too late into the movie.
Speaker 2:This is a very short movie. Both of them are very like an hour and a half, which is another thing I love about it. Brother, I cannot tell you the fact that if this movie was 15 minutes longer on either end, I'd hate this movie. It would drop significantly for me.
Speaker 1:I 1,000% agree with that, because the plot is nothing difficult that some people can't understand.
Speaker 1:It's very easy to follow, so you can't really stretch that too much. The action you know what? This movie I didn't care for in the beginning, at the very beginning. It wasn't until because before you see him montages of fighting and killing people I was like, alright, show me something different. It wasn't until they're on vacation and you see this movie in trailer. At this moment in trailer it's like where his daughter gets slapped by that, like that giant man. That instantly pissed me off, instantly. That got the biggest reaction out of me the whole movie. I was like, all right, now I get it. Now I understand why he would react the way he works.
Speaker 2:Any father would yeah, yeah, like you said, it's like everyone's dream. Like if I was in that situation, I will say I, okay, loved it, loved every second of it. I thought it was a dream sequence, until I remember what movie I was watching, like he, like I was waiting for them to be like and seen, and then he's like, like you know, he let it go hell. No, that actually went in there, because when the when the uh manager was like throwing his son around, I also was like you know this, I work in arcades as well, so everything about that aggravated me. I was like in what world? But whatever, and I'm like all right, that's a grown man. Okay, that's interesting. He slapped the daughter I've. I almost jumped out of my seat, like I tensed up. I was like oh, you can't let that slide yeah you cannot let that slide, and I'm glad he didn't.
Speaker 1:I'm glad you pointed. I thought the same thing too. I thought he was gonna walk in the door and then his wife was gonna grab him or something like that. Um, I went to go see this with my dad too, and he seemed he had the same exact reaction, like because he was a bouncer too for many bars. So you know he knows that shit doesn't slide, especially like a man. It'll be different. It was a kid, like manager slapping him. It was a grown, huge man and then, you know, fucking him up. And they also ended up fucking up just innocent bystanders, like that guy with the whack-a-mole machine. That was so funny though yeah, I mean it was, it was awesome. And then it does piss you off too when they're the only ones that get arrested with for what happened.
Speaker 1:And then, um, you, this is where you meet the sheriff at one point. Who the sheriff is? Played by colin hanks, if I'm not mistaken. Hanks, tom hanks's son. I knew this guy looked familiar the whole time. It wasn't until, like right before this, we started recording that I looked it up. Um, I don't know how do you feel about him? Like I was like, do you think he's I don't think he's living up to his father's footsteps.
Speaker 2:No. So I know him. Uh, jumanji, the new Jumanji, he's in prevalently, uh, or not prevalently. He's the uh, he's, he's a character in there. So now his face is burned into my head, um, and I think that I think that he's doing it right, like I don't need him being leading man, like right right now, like nepotism, right.
Speaker 2:I like him kind of acting chops, like similar to like scott eastwood in like the fast and furious movies, like there is a version where they are already at the top and I like that they're just character actors right now and if they work out, they're obviously old, older, uh. But if they end up working out, like good for them, and if not, like hey, you don't have to. If anything, it would be worse for him. Like kind of like a john david washington who is now always getting compared to denzel because he keeps doing these big movies like no one's. No one's comparing these two. They're just like good for you, buddy. So I think, I think that might be the safe route there, but with the argument with that is look at jack quaid's career.
Speaker 1:dennis quaid is also both his parents are big movie stars too and he's leading man in a lot of movies and he's fantastic. Granted, some of them are the same roles. I would say that's what I was going to say, I think people like Jack Quaid.
Speaker 2:Obviously he would put him on the map and he is stuck to. The nerdy capable somehow gets through this guy. But I wouldn't say that he's like standing on his own in anything. No the king was his best shot.
Speaker 1:But he was also played a lot of good villains in movies. He was a villain in Scream 6. He was a villain in what's that robot movie that came out earlier this year oh, companion, I love that you were on that episode. But yeah, he's also played good villains too. So I mean, I think he does have aspects in horror and, like they said, the comedic nerd who unexpected is a badass.
Speaker 1:Um, so I've never had to state we just saw yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I was genuinely excited to see him in the movie. Like, oh shit, fuck, yeah, let's go. Um. So jack quaid, I think, is an exception to that rule. Like tom hanks because I just watched big not too long ago and also I don't know if you got the same um trailer in your movie. They're going to be re-shown apollo 13 in theaters with tom hanks and he looks so young in the movie. And then I just saw big not too long ago. Like tom hanks was a big star at a very young age and he's obviously I would like to see his kids take on some of the roles like that too.
Speaker 2:No, that's fair, that's fair. I just want them to work. I just want them to like, have fun doing it, and it seems like in these movies he's he can flex a little bit more and, you know, be outside the box without the pressure of like. How was his performance? Like every time he, he gets a bat, but, yeah, no, I, I liked him, though. I think he, I, I think he did really well and, honestly, like that's the thing I think he did really well.
Speaker 2:It pissed me off in this movie, yeah, versus like the tom hanks, like lovable characters, even like the ones that I know colin from so far. Uh, I think this one like, really, really, he got under my skin, like and I was like I hate this dude and I I appreciate it, though to the point you, you hated him so much that the ending happens with his like and I was like I hate this dude and I I appreciate it, though to the point you, you hated him so much that the ending happens with his character and he's like yes, you know, yeah, someone had the balls to do it.
Speaker 1:Um, and there's a lot of other cameos in this movie too, like, uh, well, also christopher nolan, not christopher nolan, christopher lloyd comes back to play as a dad. I thought they were gonna kill him off, like since the first one. I like I thought they were, oh, grandpa passed away, or something like that, but no, this guy was still in there kicking ass all the uh, all the uh nursing home gals was just fawning over him.
Speaker 2:The lady with her oxygen tank she had me rolling yeah, and this is.
Speaker 1:You find out a lot more about his character too in this movie, because you find out his dad was also in this. Well, you kind of put this together in the first one, but his dad was also an assassin who brought him to the same I'm not sure what the six flags land is called in this movie, but who brought him the same thing, the same place for the same reason, basically to do an assignment and like for I or I. Just this place is known for being a cover for a lot of legal activities like trading and stuff like that going on, and he just ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. He's fucking with the wrong son. He ends up the son who ends up like I don't even remember him hitting him in the arm. Do you?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I did I did, cause it was like it was like a. They almost like slow-moed it, because that I don't know, maybe they wanted to be a point, but I, I did catch that one so they end up fucking with the wrong son by breaking his arm, who was all?
Speaker 1:who happens to be the sheriff. I went sheriff. I don't know what he, what his status was, because he was higher than the sheriff uh, he was the original big bad until there was a bigger, big, yeah, yeah same crime lord he was like the, the, the mayor, like crime guy yeah who's that's a famous actor too, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1:I've seen him in a handful of movies. Um, not wyatt martin, is it? I think it's wyatt martin. Um, his character ends up having a complete 360 change, with him being this big badass like you get the fuck out of my town to like. Please help me fight these people off.
Speaker 1:I need it yeah yeah, and I mean the ending. I don't want to get too much into the detail we already spoiled a lot but like there's a lot of cool action, fighting scenes, like the one in the boat, like the duck boat, very badass, very similar to, though, the bus scene, um, and then you get to the ending where it happens to be like it's more of a gimmick, where it's at like it's more let's find these creative ways to kill people and what's the best way to do that is have it in this old um, like carnival kind of thing. There's a bunch of rides and slides and um games and stuff like that. Like, oh, it's the same thing with the whack-a-mole stuff, like it's same gimmicks. Like you, one of the most ones that made me jump like squeegee my seat a little more, was when he went down the water slide and, oh, I covered my eyes. I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 2:I hate that, that was probably the biggest one.
Speaker 1:that made me jump. You have games like that where you're really playing with a setting that you're in. They could have just made this an older warehouse or something like that, but that would have been half the time Just shooting, dodging, shooting, fighting, dodging, losing your gun, something like that. There also is a Kill Bill moment in this final ending with his brother and the swords fucking badass with the, the last bullet where he cuts the gun in half and he slices the guy's head face through.
Speaker 2:That's why you never bring a katana to a sword fight it's such.
Speaker 1:He had cheesy bad line one-liners in the first movie too. Um, I was gonna say the mom you see the mom at the end of the pool and sniper. I thought she was gonna be like hiding in the woods, picking them one by one I was very confused.
Speaker 2:I said so let me get this straight. You thought you didn't know that the brother was there, so you left these kids alone in the middle of the woods, while you know you're under attack, to go hopefully help your husband, who's like miles down the road right.
Speaker 1:Exactly I thought it would have been cooler. I think she just typed them off because you see this movie only get one shot and she's like 10 feet away from the person you know yeah, it was kind of less impressive when you think about that.
Speaker 1:That was, uh, that was very interesting and when the that you know, um, what's his name? Um hutch is face to face with the villain at the end. I mean, I guess she's pissed that she wants to kill him, but like it's also like what's the point? Like you just said, you lost all your money, you literally lost all your men. Like you have no power anymore at this point. Like you have nothing, which is probably the reason for wanting to kill her but like you can't kill this guy and think everything's going back to normal. Like you, you're done. Like you have no assets anymore.
Speaker 2:All your best got killed.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So like at the end, like when she gets killed her other soldiers, they kill them. 'm like, why, like I?
Speaker 2:that's bothered me. And don't get me wrong. Like I said, I I enjoyed this movie. That pissed me off because I was like what do you mean? Like she was like kill him. I was like why didn't you start with that? Like what do you think they've been?
Speaker 1:doing this whole time right and like after that she dies, but I was like I was a yeah, I'm gone though, bro, right, I'm not getting paid.
Speaker 2:I'm a hired gun. What do you mean? Like I'm absolutely, and it's not like. It would be one thing if they presented her to be like this great leader that people would pick up her sword. That girl's quick. Hey, we're safe, we're free. Fellas, yeah, let's go, dude, let's go. I always think I think we've had this conversation in action movies. I'm always interested in like and it's a little bit better for superhero movies. But like, let's go, dude, let's go. I think we've had this conversation in action movies. I'm always interested in like and it's a little bit better for superhero movies. But if I see a guy, a John Wick type, who's murdering everybody, why do I think I'm going to be the person to stop him? That part is never really, I guess strength in numbers when they're human. But hell, no, dude, I'd rather be the guy that he knocks out. If I wake up a day later, woo versus the guy who was cut in half.
Speaker 1:There's no wrong reason. He could just tap me and I'll pretend I'm knocked out, honestly.
Speaker 2:Throw me off a building. I'm not getting back up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there was one. Well, there are movies out there that make fun of that simple fact, like iron man 3, when he's about to shoot him, he's like he puts his gun. Like honestly, these people are weird. I'm audrey, anyway, that is funny when they do that, but I'm always so in disbelief of how many henchmen like these people got. Like this lady like had like a hundred not even kidding a hundred men willing to die for her for for probably money, but like yeah, and if it's money that's fine, but then when they die say that you know like you gotta give me something else and it's not like she had someone to take over her spot.
Speaker 1:It seemed that we know of, at least I mean there's. You know there could be stories like she had a sister or or niece or something like that. Like down the line was like who's next in line, or something like that. So, um, this movie can lead up to sequels. I can see it being a trilogy and, um, especially with the wife getting involved, now it's going to become more. I won't say mr and mrs smith thing, but like they're fighting together, I should say yeah and the kids like secrets out.
Speaker 1:I kind of wish I wish the son would get in this. Like the cycle keeps going like this, he pulls the sun into it, he does kind of, doesn't he kill? Like strangle that guy to death or he doesn't.
Speaker 2:That's. I think that was him being better, because the henchman was like please don't kill me, which is like all right. I think I would have respected this movie if they went.
Speaker 1:No one's ever done that. Like you never see them, like an origin story like that, you know. Yeah, um, I kind of like the next movie. Like I said, you see the sun and it's hard. It would be hard to see, it hard to sell. I could see why they don't want to do it, but I kind of want to see that something like that happen. Um, the ending see there's a big explosion and the why. This is the coolest shot in the whole movie, where they dive in the water and like there's explosions above them. But I was like you're at a kiddie pool, like there's no way this water's that deep, like there's explosions above them. But I was like you're at a kiddie pool, like there's no way this water is that deep, like there's no way you get fully under that.
Speaker 2:You I said wait one second, like and this is the thing, I can't think about these movies too much or will agree. That's how I felt about freak your friday when I started getting pissed off at the end, like I in the theater, I turned to uh, my movie buddy, and we were both like that is not, that's not that same pool, like it's just not.
Speaker 1:No, no, the pool. It looks like it's 20 feet deep. Real it's probably like five feet at the most Exactly, I'll buy seven.
Speaker 2:You know, I remember being in six feet when I was a kid, like I'll buy, but like when he drops and I'm like all right, so he's about five, eight. You know, I'm like watching him sink.
Speaker 1:I was like yeah, there's no way he drops and then you see his wife like swimming pretty far down to go get him. I was like, oh my god ain't no way this is a kid in park man for like eight year olds yeah yeah, I mean there's a small plot holes like that yeah, yeah it's not about that.
Speaker 1:The other day, it's it's about the action and stuff like that, because the plot line is like nothing great. It's the exact same exact movie. Um, different director. Actually the director the first one was set to come back and do this one I saw, but he was always already doing heads of state that we did the other day. Um, oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, so he was. He was scheduled to come back, which I think I like this one a little bit better for the directing too. Also, in the first and the first movie in the third act it was in a building and I didn't like about it because you see them send off a bunch of booby traps and stuff like that. I was like when the fuck did you do that this one? You see that a little bit them setting up.
Speaker 2:I I really like that little uh details attached to this movie yeah, and actually and I'm really critical of booby traps about 80 of these made sense like the only ones, like, like you know, the one where he put the gun, like on the slide. I was like so you're planning on running up?
Speaker 2:there like I was like all right, that's a little to me, but the rest, like with the grenades, like even though it's campy, or like you know, at one point something takes out two henchmen and I was like what if there were three? Like, but you know, turn that part of my brain off. I think you see that in the first one.
Speaker 1:He kills three people with one bullet in the first one, yeah, yeah. But that gun on the side of the slide kind of makes sense, because that's where the spikes were. It's like okay here or something. I mean, if you, I do see that prep, I do like that like idea that it wasn't just random stuff, like you can tell they really thought like okay, I'm gonna run here and do this and stuff like that. Um, then you do think that grandpa's gonna die in this one too. That was a little bit sad, like damn, that would have been a way to go out. But yeah, no, he ends up being the hero at the end too, as always.
Speaker 1:Yeah, crazy christopher lloyd, back to the future, baby so just final decision what did you feel about bob on kirk as this kind of character? Did you buy?
Speaker 2:did you like I was like I for me, I didn't buy it I, I bought it and you know, like I, there were moments in this movie obviously, dude's coming off a heart attack right, he is up there in age, so, like there was, I was just happy to see him on screen. There were times where I was he's. They have to cut away because he can't move that way. Same thing that we were talking about Liam Neeson. But he plays that frustrated, like middle-aged old white dude so well, like, not even like trying to be funny. There was multiple parts in his movie where I was like that's my friend's dad, like I can 100% see my buddy's dad being this exact same way, like the way that he talks, the way he moves, his irritation, like that. He played that really well, damn.
Speaker 1:Is your friend, okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no he's good.
Speaker 1:He was another character in the bear that does really good, like he plays like a wife's friend or something like that. But for me I just I couldn't see. I mean, yeah, like I mean I read like he he got in the best shape of his life, for I don't know about his life, but he got really good shape for this movie. Kind of don't believe that. I feel like we would have seen footage of him getting in shape like they were to release as promo, like him training at least. Um, they, they did. There's multiple of him training. Well, like five or six movements. I would say like, oh my god, it wasn't even training.
Speaker 2:This is now my mission.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna get training, going over rehearsals for the fight scenes, like I want to see him in the gym putting the work. Oh, you want to see him lifting, lifting weights, because, like it was weird in the in the movie they go to this water park and this guy's wearing a long sleeve shirt underneath, like a shirt. I was like, if you're getting the best for your life, like once, you want to show that shit off for the movie? Tell me. I'm wrong.
Speaker 2:Tell me I'm wrong. You're just playing factor cap with the prep of this movie, like nah yeah he's, he's, I just didn't buy him.
Speaker 1:I guess he does great playing the like the dad, like being overprotective and stuff like that, but like as far as tough as to take on a whole army now. Now I don't know I. But also I like the idea of older men in these kind of roles too, because like yeah, it's a younger kid like these older men have experience and that's why they're old, because they live long enough to to do this, I mean beware of an old man in a young man's profession it's the same thing with anime.
Speaker 1:Like every single anime, the oldest person is like the most strong and powerful, like it's hell yeah, it's just kind of role, like versus like, if this is like a timothy chamblee kind of playing this kind of role. They're doing the same thing with kevin james. Did you see that?
Speaker 2:he has a movie like that's not gonna work for me I can tell I'm gonna be excited to see it because I like me some kevin james, but that's not gonna work.
Speaker 1:There's only reason I see them doing it is because, like, at one point, I would love to do something like that in my life. Yeah, to look cool on screen. That has to be the only reason, like they don't think they can actually make this into their new career. You know, we got james. He didn't even he was in more shape for that. Uh, here comes the boom, or something like that. Here comes the boom. He was in good shape for that. This one, he's just like paul blart. What would you go back? What would you give nobody to one of the time?
Speaker 2:I'm giving it a solid seven Okay. I'll go 6.5. 6.5 out of 10.
Speaker 1:I did like it better than the first one. I'll give it that. And if there was a third one, yeah, I'll go watch it, now that I'm sucked in this world and now you kind of establish the realistic of this kind of universe and this kind of movie. So I think by the third one I can definitely put everything aside and enjoy a little bit more uh, like I said, I think that's just exactly uh kind of what you're talking about.
Speaker 2:That's where I am right now, like I am in. This isn't a summer blockbuster, but it's like a nice little august mid-release. You know, throw some action on screen, make you creative, give me some scoobit one-liners I'm always gonna have a good time I'm gonna predict the third one for you right now.
Speaker 1:Um, the wife obviously is gonna be more involved now that she's accepting this kind of world, the kind of line of work she's doing. She's a real estate agent, right, she's gonna end up selling a house to somebody that she overhears is like a big part of this crime, lord, or something like that like, oh, this is a perfect place to keep little kids that you know. I can have for something like that and and she lets him know, she starts doing her own investigating before he gets involved, like we're gonna see more of her than him, I think.
Speaker 1:And then, uh, once she starts bringing him in, like what are you doing here? Like you're like, oh, this, they're gonna have two different stories to say. They all both line up to the same crime, boss, I would say, and that's what they're gonna find out. And then they'll teaming up together and then, of course, the brother, grandfather.
Speaker 1:I bet you the brother by the next time, will have a girlfriend too. At that point he's got his own kids. I'm predicting it. I'm calling it out Before we go. There was one more movie I wanted to bring up to you I don't know if you've seen it on Max called Freaky Tales. Is that the Pedro Pascal one? Pedro Pascal one dude. I don't know if it came out this year or last year. I don't remember hearing anything about it.
Speaker 2:I know that no one saw it in the theater.
Speaker 1:I distinctly remember that that's weird because IMBD says it came out 2024, but Max says it came out 2025. So I don't know which one came first. I don't remember seeing it in theaters or hearing about it. I loved it. It's so underrated. A friend turned me a good friend of mine turned me onto this movie. It's incredible. The best way I can describe her, the best way she described it, was like it's like scott pilgrim versus the world, mixed with kill bill, like it's the perfect description for it. It's I don't know if you know anything about it it's about basically one night from the point of view of several different people, and they all connect in a wild way at the end okay, I'm, you know what I was going back and forth?
Speaker 2:uh, because I have heard good things, I will absolutely watch it this week pager pascal is amazing in it.
Speaker 1:For me, seeing him on screen for the fifth time this year, he definitely brings a different kind of vibe to this one like, uh, he was yeah, I would say out of his characters a little bit closest to um, the last of us kind of vibes versus like fantastic or even the materialist. It's a different. He kills in this role. Tom hanks makes a very fun cameo in this movie. Oh, um, the stories it's. It's incredible. Go watch. It's set in the 70s and for each story it's almost filmed in a different way. Like the first one, like it's about a punk rock kids and it's filmed kind of like scott pelican versus the world. Um, peter pascal's a fellow's, almost like a little bit like narcos, almost um, no different styles, different stories, great acting, great way to end it and I kind of wish more movie. I would like to see more from this director. I would say I'm sold.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna adding it to the list.
Speaker 1:It's official yeah, um, anything else that you want to talk about before we get going? What? What's the movie you want to suggest tonight?
Speaker 2:um, oh, I just saw a trailer for a weird one, you know what? Never mind, we keep talking about spider-man. I'm I want to do this for a while. I'm going to go back and rewatch, no Way Home.
Speaker 1:No Way Home. Okay, I put that on once, maybe every few months, I would say yeah, always going to hold up, and it gets me more excited for the Spider-Man coming out. You know what? I'll go leave this one I'll do Taken, he's been on my mind a lot lately.
Speaker 1:The whole trilogy was great. We'll do an episode. Maybe we'll go over the whole trilogy. We'll start doing that. Go over older movies. We mostly do newer ones. Next episode is Honey Don'ts with a lot of celebrity. Carissa Evans finally comes back to the big screen after a while. I'm excited we might have a guest on too, so we'll look forward to that.
Speaker 1:Have you seen the tiktok comments and stuff like that? Sometimes people like it's funny to see people get beef in our comments with each other, like not even with us. Oh, they were beefing with each other. I love that. Yeah, one of the one of the videos I posted was like a vlog style, like where I go to the movies and I always start the video buying snacks in the at the dollar store. Someone commented like uh, you know, you gotta really support your local theaters. That's how they make their money. Blah, blah, blah. And I was like they get, they get monthly bills for me that I pay, and then, like people are fighting like no, like who cares, like it's a dollar, like their fault. They go back and forth. It's pretty funny to watch, though, but, um, yeah, subscribe to our tiktok page. I've been posting a lot of clips on there. We can see us talk about it. Um, anyways, stay tuned. Next week we'll be saving the scene. Bye.
