This Seats Taken
Caught Stealing
excuse me, is anybody sitting here? Sorry, this is taken sorry. I would say september is the biggest month so far with as many bangers as coming out with. I would say july was a close second september.
Speaker 2:Okay, we're on wildly different parts then I I do not have september in my top movie months yet just this.
Speaker 1:Well, I technically were still in august, so I never mind. I was like this is a big weekend alone for movies. There's a ton of movies that came out this past week streaming and 100, and we counted this weekend towards september.
Speaker 2:I'd be much, much further into that train september, I mean it.
Speaker 1:It has him. It has a good handful of big name movies. July, I can only remember it was the big three Jurassic World, superman, fantastic Four.
Speaker 2:September I think it has been. That's all you need. And then, when did how to Train your Dragon come out? Was that June?
Speaker 1:Yes, yes Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, they had the big three.
Speaker 1:uh, ten polls there I forgot that movie came out. Honestly, I I told myself.
Speaker 1:I want to go through and watch all of them I think I made it through the first two movies, the animated ones, and then, um, I think there's another one still so crazy to me. It's, it's good franchise. It's a good franchise. I just I don't know. There's too much crap to watch brandon. There's so much to franchise. It's a good franchise. I just, I don't know, there's too much crap to watch brandon. There's so much to watch, there's not enough time in the day. Um, I'm on the last episode of the first season of stranger things, so I'm going through.
Speaker 2:I'm getting through it. You're making your way downtown.
Speaker 1:I'll be there. I'll be there by the time november comes, with the last season comes out, okay, um, I keep going back and forth on. My next watch is gonna be I think it's gonna be a wednesday. I've never seen that and I know season two just dropped and that seems like a quick watch to me, so I'll knock that out real fast. Um, but speaking of september, I mean, we, we had talked about doing more games and then, uh, we I I don't know this is considered a game. It's just us listening to things we're most excited for in september. Um, and this could be anything. I have a couple like an album on there that I'm looking forward to, um, and a couple movies and tv shows. So I don't. I think I have like 10 in total. I'm not about you, okay, all right, I guess I'm more excited for september than you. Are you for?
Speaker 2:sure are. Um, but I got a few things. But you know what that's. That's better, because maybe you can get me on the train of excitement.
Speaker 1:I also have a couple things like I think you're you don't know about too, so I'm humble. I'm hoping to put you on um. Okay, but how many do you have on your list? Uh? Six okay, that's a good amount. Um, I'll have you go first. I'll have you go first.
Speaker 2:Oh, you can't do me like that. Um, all right, first up. Um, obviously, movie related. We just talked about it. Uh, right for this. The long walk is a movie that I was so disinterested in when I heard the concept of. When I heard the concept and then know the trailer did its job and then the more I hear about this movie, the better the marketing for it's fantastic. I don't know if you saw, but they were talking about they're doing a screening where they're going to have people on treadmills, like walking at that three miles per hour pace, like I'm genuinely excited about this movie and it got me right in the driver's seat for it.
Speaker 2:Well, I want to explain a little bit more.
Speaker 1:The screening is like you want to walk at least three miles per hour the entire length of this movie while you're watching the movie. But if you drop anywhere below that, I think you're like three warnings, just like the movie. If you drop below that, they're kicking you out of the movie. You can't see it no more. You got to go movie.
Speaker 2:You can't see it no more. You gotta go, and I really appreciate it. Hell, yeah, I would do that. Yeah, it is fun because it's three.
Speaker 1:If it was 3.5, I hell listen, I'll watch it with everybody else, I mean I already seen the challenge started like people just like, okay, we're walking in three more three point miles for the length of the movie, which is it's? I mean it's an hour, like in 40 minutes, something like that.
Speaker 2:It's not that hard, that's a long time to be walking that pace like that. Don't get me wrong, that's not like a and that's the thing. It's a doable pace, yeah, but like also, you know, while you're watching this movie, you're obviously going to be going through a few emotions, right. You're obviously going to be like a little bit different than you would just do in the comfort of your own home.
Speaker 1:So I don't know, man, I feel like it's a little bit different I told my friend that challenge and he's like, oh, you should do that um the length of the movie. Just do the podcast. Walking on the treadmill like nobody wants to hear me huffing and puffing on the microphone I'll be out of breath in the first two minutes.
Speaker 2:Man, exactly, I can't exactly go with your second one that's fair.
Speaker 2:Um, second one, right at the top man, I am going with Gen Z Season 2. Should be premiering mid-September. Dude, I cannot tell you how excited I am Just for the boys universally as a whole, but to get the second season. We know it's going to tie in right away. I have no idea what they're going to do with it and I think that's my favorite part. Are you caught up on the Gen Z life? No, not Gen Z. I think I with it and I think that's my favorite part?
Speaker 1:are you, uh, caught up on the gen z life? I think I stopped as, like, season three of the boys, not because it's bad, I think that I just, I don't know, I it's I like discovering shows after it's done, almost so I can binge the whole thing, because I, I, I can't keep up with it, like I or I don't realize it's coming out the new season, especially like the ones that come out week to week. Like I'm surprised I'm doing pretty good decent so far with a peacemaker, but it's mostly because it's podcast. Um, I was good, like, with all the disney plus shows like wandavision, about watching it weekly and stuff like that, but then, like I just lost interest once we got other movies, um, that was on my list too, gen z, and every time a season comes out it's a big reaction. It's always nothing bad or anything like that. So it is exciting, it is on my radar and I'm happy for the universe. Maybe one day I'll go through and watch everything, um. But yeah, I'm here, I'm here and it's pretty hyped for the show.
Speaker 1:This season.
Speaker 2:You keep talking about your, your what to watch next. Get caught up. You know it's got to be up there as a priority. Jim v is so like. You know it's such a big risk for them like, because obviously it doesn't have obviously the same characters and they do take it in a completely different direction. But man does it work Like I. I cannot get more excited about this show.
Speaker 1:I mean, yeah, I'm excited for it too, and it wouldn't take too much for me to catch up, cause it was like four or five seasons of the uh, the boys were about to get to season five.
Speaker 2:We're about to. It's the last season. Season five is the last season. And then we got gen v, so you got three seasons to catch up on, basically yeah, isn't gen v like a prequel, kind of like a spinoff?
Speaker 1:no, it happened simultaneously oh, okay, I thought it was.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's what I'm saying that's what, like, the weird part is, but it's about these, you know, group of teenage college students, uh, and gen gen v is uh, I think.
Speaker 1:Well, I forgot the name of the school, but it's their college that they go to I thought it was like the main characters from the boys, like their characters in college, like back in the day no sir, no sir okay that's good big you're
Speaker 2:getting. You're getting excited, we hey, we got a chat All right. Outside of that, a weird one and probably my biggest dice roll on the list here I'm going the paper season one, the spinoff of the Office. Obviously it's something not a lot of people ask for and the trailer you know it did its job of, you know, showing us what it was, but I don't know if it really captured my attention. Oscars in it. I'm going to give it a fair shot. It comes out in september, so I guess I'm looking forward to it for this for the list for the purpose of this list.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm. The same way I had it on my list too. Um, I love the office so much. Um, there are like a lot of actors that I'm looking for. Nate jackson's gonna be in the show a lot, and, um, yeah, oscar is reprising his role as oscar martinez from the office. Uh, the trailers it's. I wish they felt the same way as the office. It looks more like a like a studio influence drama almost. Yeah, some of the shots and I don't know. I don't know like if the office were to air today for the first time, it wouldn't work.
Speaker 2:I don't know, like, if the office were to air today for the first time, it wouldn't work. I don't think Exactly, and that's the thing. And I think you said something similar last, last time. And don't get me wrong. We have our like share of raunchy comedies or, you know, like workplace comedies. That's why Brooklyn nine nine works so well. You know like. So we've work. It just has to balance giving us the feeling the office gave us without trying to be the office.
Speaker 1:You know, I don't know if that makes sense. It does. It does. I mean, hey, like everyone's gonna hate on it, but if it does, well, it's gonna just nothing do but surprise everybody. So I mean, like you can't lose, like I think expectations are pretty low as it is right now. Yeah, it's a spin-off of the office, but no one's expecting to be good as the office.
Speaker 2:No, that's so fair, it's so. Spinoff of the Office, but no one's expecting it to be good as the Office. No, that's so fair, it's so fair. Number four on my list Weird one. I brought this one specifically because we kept talking about my network TV addiction NCIS, tony and Ziva the series premiere. I don't know if you grew up watching NCIS these were like the two best characters in the show. So for them. I don't know if you grew up watching ncis, these were like the two best characters, uh, in the show. So for them, I don't know. What is it like 20 years later to finally get their own spinoff is way too late, but I'm gonna be here. Opening night for it.
Speaker 1:See, I saw that as one of the options put on the list. I thought of you instantly of when I saw that, but um, it didn't make my list. I do know of ncis. I don, I don't know anything. I didn't watch the show so I don't know too much about the characters. I didn't know it was characters from 20 years ago. That's interesting to bring them back.
Speaker 2:Yeah, something like that man. I was watching NCIS, at least in the 2010s, habitually, so I think it may have premiered in 2008 or something like that, so definitely.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like that, so definitely yeah, I think that's on paramount plus, if I'm mistaken, it's gonna be streaming only.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, for sure, yeah, yeah, good, pick a pick. Um, what is that? Four, all right. Going for the fifth one? Um, I lost my list. No, that was five. Okay, all right. Last but not least, um, a weird one that I only am looking forward to, because I was leaving the theater on thursday and I saw a poster for it and it just put a smile on my face. Man, toy story is coming back to the theater. Uh, I think it's like their 30 year, um, 30 year anniversary or something like that for toy story, and I will be. I will be sat, obviously, like I've seen the movie a thousand times it now, but it's one of those you know like I didn't get to see in the theater as a kid, or at least I don't remember seeing it. So I did see toy story 4 in the theater and that was a great time. I will absolutely be, uh, be there just to just to cheer it on that's pretty good.
Speaker 1:Uh, I think amc or somebody came out with a popcorn bucket for that. Did you see that? I did not, it's like it's like a bucket, like a play bucket, I believe, with, like some of the characters like on the back of it or something like that, like like, not just pictures of them, but like a physical like yeah, woody, jesse and buzz, I believe.
Speaker 1:Oh, now you're talking now you're talking yeah, I mean toby mcguire's, I think by the time this airs I think it's this weekend is back in the movie theaters. There's something coming up soon Tobey Maguire's in the theaters, I think it's this weekend. Yeah, that's pretty cool. I like when movie theaters do that. I mean Back to the Future is coming back to the movies very soon. I think Jaws was just another big one.
Speaker 2:Jaws was a really massive one.
Speaker 1:Like a really massive one, like my theater went all out for advertising for that one. Yeah, yeah, mine too. It was good for them, good for them. I. I love when they do that, trying to get everything back in the movies. Um, that was your last one, right? Yep, I don't believe you didn't say this one, but we talked about it already. But him, you didn't say that one.
Speaker 2:That's your on your list I'm not looking forward to it, man. I'm just gonna go see it. You're not looking forward to him. I'm excited to it, man. I'm just going to go see it. You're not looking forward to him. I'm excited. Jordan Peele is the goat of black horror. I guess I can put him in that thing. I know he's producing this one. I'm excited to see his take and his influence. But hell, no, man, I'm not sprinting to the theater for it.
Speaker 1:Interesting. A lot of what you had is on my list already. The long walk I had him, um I I guess I'm looking forward to this more than you are, but a big, a big, bold, beautiful journey with margot robbie, colin farrell.
Speaker 1:It's like a rom like a romantic movie, but it looks interesting. It looks interesting. This is also interesting. You're correct, it's same page, it's coming out the same day as him. So I mean, like they don't, I don't think they would have a chance of winning that box office. I don't even say that they wouldn't. I don't think they'll make top three that weekend, like I think the movie an older movie is gonna like take their spot. Agreed, like um. This movie was a big one with um caught stealing, and there was another movie that came out this weekend too, but um, they both roses yeah, the roses and um weapons still beat both of them this weekend.
Speaker 1:Um, I have the paper on their task. Have you heard about this show task? Yes, it's going to be on hbo max starring mark ruffalo, premieres september 7th. It's going to be on HBO Max starring Mark Ruffalo, premieres September 7th. It's going to be seven weekly episodes in the working class suburbs of Philadelphia and the FBI agent heads to task force to put an end to a string of violent robberies led by an unsuspecting family man. I feel like we had a million shows or movies with that description. Like I hate how they put unsuspecting family man because like, like, okay, now I'm going to suspect us. Um, but mark ruffalo's in it and it looks like a very dark drama almost, and I love mark ruffalo in those roles. Like dark waters is one of my favorite mark ruffalo movies. Um, so you can pull it off. I'm excited for that show.
Speaker 2:It's going to be, like I said, september 7th on hbo okay, no, I'm excited, you, you, I will 100 check it out at least the first episode, I'll give it a chance yeah, yeah, if it's seven, I'll give it a two episode buffer, you know?
Speaker 1:yeah, it doesn't win me over yeah, um, I know we talked about this next show. Uh, I have not caught up on it, but it is on my list. You watch it only murders in the building. Season five premieres September 9th and it's a 10 episodes weekly, yeah. So what are you going to do? Just binge it, dude. I have two weeks vacation in November and I'm going to binge everything I'm going to binge everything.
Speaker 1:That is my week. I'm not going anywhere. I'm just going to sit in my bed for two days and just binge all these two shows. I guarantee you Hell yeah, bed for two days and just binge all these two shows. I guarantee you hell yeah, hell yeah. Uh, hi jen v. Uh, I don't know if you're into this show. Uh, the morning show on apple season four premieres that is the show I'm literally about to start.
Speaker 2:I just finished, uh, my last show. I realized I never finished last of us. So I just finished that and I was like you know what I was just talking about ted lasso like I need another apple show. And I was like you know what I heard? That's coming, I'm gonna, I'm gonna start it.
Speaker 1:So that's my next watch jennifer henderson still stars in it. I know steve, steve uh crow was in it, but I guess not anymore because I don't see him in the name of the credits for this new season yeah, I think he was just in a few episodes and then like there's nothing.
Speaker 2:Reese witherspoon possibly isn't there as well. Yeah, it's, it's, yeah, it's got it made it just season four on apple, so it's got to have some type of merit that one does premiere on september 17th and have weekly episodes that released.
Speaker 1:um, I went to netflix to see what's going on. Uh, netflix has a new show called black rabbit. September 18th, eight episodes coming out all at once. It's when the owner of a new york hotspot allows turbulent brother back in his life. He opens the door to escalating dangers that threatened to bring down everything that he's built. It's starring Jason Bateman and Jude Law. That's the only reason why I want to see it, and same thing like the Mark Ruffalo show. It looks drama, it looks good, it looks phenomenal, dude the way that a name can change.
Speaker 2:You know the excitement because I was reading, I was listening. I'm like okay, yeah, but that did sell me. I will absolutely check out anything bateman's in it if you had due law. It's gotta.
Speaker 1:It's gotta at least be somewhat entertaining I mean, um, I do listen to the jason bateman's podcast a lot the um the smart list show and I remember, like a while ago, a few months ago, he they don't, there's not video, so it's only audio only but they talk about Jason Bateman how looking scruffy for a role coming up and this is the movie I guess our show is for and um, he looks good. Well, not like good, and he looks good for his character. His character looks interesting. Um, I seen the trailer for it and does look awesome, so I'm gonna okay think it said eight episodes all at once. You can binge that in like two days. Talsal King, I don't know if you're into this show on Paramount+ Starring Sylvester Stallone, new season, season three, nine episodes that come out weekly.
Speaker 1:The only reason I have this on my list my dad is a big fan of the show Sylvester Stallone. Dude, there's a lot of talk going on like there's um gonna be a prequel rambo movie I don't know if he's heard news about that, I did not and they're casting for like a biopic on sylvester stallone. Like they just casted a younger salvo salvo, a younger sylvester stallone, and uh, the guy looks like. I can't remember his name offhand, excuse me, but I just shared the post on instagram. But he looks good. He looks like a young sylvester Stallone. And the guy looks like. I can't remember his name offhand, excuse me, but I just shared the post on Instagram. But he looks good. He looks like a young Sylvester Stallone. And the very last thing I got I'm excited for September, cardi B is dropping an album. Am I the drama?
Speaker 2:You're not looking forward to that. I am looking forward to the rest of this court case. No, I'm excited, I'm excited, I'm excited. I actually like she's just one of those who's like a little bit hit or miss, but when she's like throwing out bangers, they go crazy. So, yeah, I'll be, I'll be, I'll be ready for Spotify to tell me when it drops.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, let's talk about that court case for a second, because you mentioned that. I only see like a couple things about it and I don't know much about it. Cardi b is being sued by someone that used to work with for her or something like that or right?
Speaker 2:yeah, I have no idea okay. So I think, she's similar to you. I keep seeing the memes. I know uh, nikki minaj was somewhat involved and they were there about a wig man. It is just a mess and I just I keep eating up everything I see.
Speaker 1:There's there's talks that she's getting sued by somebody, I believe, who used to work with her, a female, claiming that she was like sexually harassed and just harassed in general, like.
Speaker 2:I think it was her like security guard or something like that.
Speaker 1:So but all it's good intention, because the girl suing Card car to be her lawyer is just doing a terrible job. She's making her, his client, look worse than what. If anything, he's helping cardi b at this point, like with how he's defending her. I heard um, interesting um, and we talked about how it's going to be hit or miss. I don't think it's going to win any awards, but speaking of awards, um, there's a lot of grammy talk right now because it's going to be hit or miss. I don't think it's going to win any awards, but speed of awards. There's a lot of Grammy talk right now Cause it's getting ready for voting season pretty soon.
Speaker 1:Morgan Wallen is withdrawing his not submitting his newest album on the problem to any win any Grammys this year, which is wild because it's, like I think, the number one album for like longest this year out of the other album releases. I don't know if you're a big country fan. I'm a huge country fan. I love Morgan Wallen's music and that album has been on repeat since it was dropped, really, so I don't know how I feel about it.
Speaker 1:Obviously it's his personal choice, like Grammys or awards must not be that important to him. I heard he did say he was open to submitting. Or if the people featured on some of his songs want to submit that song for a nomination, he's open to that so they can get the win. Uh, but as far as his music, he doesn't really have interest in it. But I at the same time I'm thinking like what about all the people that worked on the you know album with you? You know they do also win awards too if you get nom or win. Um, so I wonder if you like consulted with him or what the reason he was really?
Speaker 2:yeah, I, that's exactly where my head is. You know he did have a, have a decent amount of features or just people you know. Creatively, like I was, I was more shocked that his um studio for like a record label, like kind of like let that one, because you know that's something that they hang their hats on as they try to get more people you know, and just like the overall accomplishments of the brand. But hey, man, let him live his life. I'm not, you know, I don't really care for for the guy too much, but he makes good music, I guess. So he's robbing like hey, whatever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, whatever. Yeah, I like how we incorporate music more into these topics real quick. But speaking of Hollywood updates, we can go into our Hollywood updates segment. If that's cool, I'll let you go. I mean, I'll go first this time, I'll let you go first last time. I only have four, four small ones, and I'm not even sure they're worthy of talking about. But this is just the date. Mortal Kombat 2 delayed to summer 2026. It was supposed to release in two months. That's kind of crazy. See, they're like we're not happy with the final.
Speaker 2:I never understand how they're at the finish line and stuff like this happens Obviously something with production, but yeah, that's a pretty hefty move, yeah because by the time two months is coming, you got to be down.
Speaker 1:You're done with the movie and you're only working on marketing at this point and I always thought I knew it was going to get delayed. Just because there is a famous comedian I see, andrew schultz. I believe he was uh said to be casted in there and I heard him talk a few times about like how he's trying to get in shape. He's not in any of the promotion, like trailers or anything like that. He's not even listed as the credits quite yet. But I was like, if they haven't revealed that, like they're not going to be ready anytime soon, like they only had like one or one extended trailer, if I'm not mistaken out so far.
Speaker 1:So yeah, they're not going to be ready that's crazy um also, ice age 6 boiling point was pushed back to 2027, february 2027. It was originally going to come out the same day as avengers doomed day, in december 2026 push it they probably like we don't got a chance. Hell, no, dude. Yeah, february, february seems like it will be good to them, like in that nice, safe landing spot, for sure, yeah I didn't even realize there were six ice age movies. I knew for sure there was three dude I would be if you would ask me.
Speaker 2:I probably would have said like I knew there was three, I'd like they probably made a fourth, one, six, insane. But I saw the uh little, uh mini squid, I guess, or like the uh squirrel, yeah, um, earlier today, so it was pretty cute.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. That does make sense. Like they're gonna market, market that heavily now. That's going to be a plush immediately. Yeah, danny Ramirez, who plays the new Falcon in the new Captain America movie, will produce and star in the new Scarface adaptation.
Speaker 2:That's a really good adaptation, like pick. I didn't know that, but he fits that. That's Fanboy from Top Gun, maverick, if you remember.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I do remember that I love that guy.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't. I'm sure he's maybe our age, maybe a little bit older, I don't know. It's an adaptation. I'm not saying it's a reboot, it's a remake. It's inspired by, I should say, scarface. It could be heavily inspired, um, but to see him I don't know this is really going to test his skills.
Speaker 2:I think this might make or break his career. Yeah, I'm excited for him. Um, this seems like the exact role that I would have you know, given him advice, uh, to go do like right, like branch out, uh, especially with obviously he's done a little bit with, like obvious superheroes. I think he's already announced for doomsday. So, you know, go make sure that you can stand on your feet outside of the superhero realm.
Speaker 1:100 yeah, uh, I would say even that's something anthony mackie has a hard time doing sometimes anthony mackie oscar almost oscar nominated anthony mackie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's where he's, just on the studio. Stop that. He was the studio playing Mackey. Oscar almost Oscar nominated Anthony Mackey.
Speaker 1:You just saw him in the studio. He was in the studio playing himself. What do you mean? Hell, yeah, he was. He was. I mean he had that Elevation movie, or whatever it was called, that came out. That was just kind of mid he does have. Twisted Metal right now, but that's not that's just personally me, brother.
Speaker 2:you're missing the big thing man, you see. But that's not, that's just personally me, like I, brother you're, you're missing the big, the big thing, man, you see, uh, um, hurt locker. No, I haven't seen that actually. Ah see, that's why you see, that's why you're doubting the king brother.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, um, and uh, and uh from eight mile yeah, I think that was his first role ever and he didn't even say anything, he just. This next one I'm really excited for eva mendez will be returning to the big screen after 12 years, alongside her husband in the new star wars movie I have something for that, so I'll keep my comments.
Speaker 2:but uh, even mendez, dude talk about someone who was at the height of their game. Like, welcome back, the sooner the better.
Speaker 1:She was my biggest crush, celebrity crush, growing up.
Speaker 2:Man seeing her in.
Speaker 1:Hitch Too Fast and Too Furious man.
Speaker 2:Brother, me and you are on the same exact page. Both of those I was already cooked. And then one of my favorite comedies, probably my favorite comedy of all time, is the other guys, oh yeah, and she's in there and that's like one of the best bits of the entire movie. Like, please give her more, yeah. We need it Um yeah yeah, he's gonna be.
Speaker 1:They're gonna. The ryan reynolds is not ryan reynolds, ryan gosling is gonna be the new star wars film. Have you seen the footage, first image of that? Yes, I did. Isn't it gonna be more than like of a comedy, if I'm not mistaken? Oh, I haven't heard that, and I hope not. I thought so, isn't it? Taika watiti, uh, directing it? No wasn't he going to be directing a star wars movie, or?
Speaker 2:did. He was, he's directing one, but I don't think it's that one. Okay. Okay, that's what I was thinking of, that comedy.
Speaker 1:Because I heard there's also like there was in development I don't know if it's still coming true Like a space bar comedy that's set in the world of Star Wars.
Speaker 2:I want Star Wars to get into genre films, but we don't need a Star Wars comedy. So when I say that like I would love, dude, I would love and I know this goes against everything you know about me a Star Wars horror movie Like I think you can do a lot with either the Nightsisters or just you know, make it a Vader movie and make him that guy dude, like I want him. Vader has the most like critical quotes about like being, you know, destroying whole civilization. It's like make it a horror movie like I will absolutely watch something like that. They're already kind of leaned into that with skeleton crew, like a little coming of age, like, uh, goonies, vibe.
Speaker 1:So yeah, but no, I don't need a just slapstick comedy you know, I like how you, I like how you describe that like, and I think if they were looking for a director to do something that to take him to that edge, I think it would be the director of caught stealing, darren aronofsky. And when we get in our and when we get into the review, I'll definitely dive deeper into that. But um, he definitely was. He took it there to this movie like he. He pushes the edge and he surprised me with a lot of his choices. So I think they were doing like a darker film with dark vader, like that. I think he could probably.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, now you're talking. Yeah, now you're talking. I did, uh, I, it was gonna bother me. I looked up who's directing it and you tell me if this moves the needle for you. It's, uh, it's gonna be sean oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1:Sean levy, yeah, um yeah, I loved his work. I loved his work. I don't know I'm I'm scared he's gonna try to do like free guy almost, or something like that, and that's dude.
Speaker 2:I love his work. Free guys. Like one of my favorite movies, real steel. Like I remember when I watched it as a kid, like nightmare of the museum deadpool and wolverine like. But he does, he. Is he gonna lean to ryan reynolds? Yeah, and then go go.
Speaker 1:You know comedy ah yeah, I don't know, man, um, I mean, it's still gonna get numbers. Ryan gosling, I hope to start to try to with like big name actors going to that franchise. Maybe I might be a minority that people probably don't want that, um, I don't know. And the last one I think I got. But I kind of want to talk about something else. Uh, after this one harry potter's show, we're finally getting updates about that. No, they're in the middle of filming the first season. They announced they plan on running our show for 10 years, ending in 2037. That's really putting all your eggs in one basket. Um, really trusting the vibes.
Speaker 1:And actually, the director for the first two original harry potter movies came out and he said like, yeah, I've seen the images and the set photos and he was a little bit disappointed because it looks damn near the exact same. It's like same costume designs as the original harry potter's movies. He's like, oh, it's more like deja vu versus something original, like he thought it was going to be. Granted, we don't know what the final result is, but as far as looks, the costumes are the same. Haggard's is the same, obviously, they just have black cloaks for, like the kids. So I don't know how much different you could do that. Um and as far as the school goes, I don't think we have official confirmation on what that will look like yet, but I can't imagine it much different than the harry potter movies yeah, you know, I almost um, when I first heard that they were doing this, I was a little bit nervous.
Speaker 2:Um, just because I'm not a huge potter hat dude, I know I'm a, uh, griffin door till I die represent. But for the overall movies I like them, but I probably have only seen all of them, like through twice. Um, there's some I like more than the others. Uh, so when I you know you hear this, at first it almost sounded like a money grab, like do we need it? Uh, but the more I think about it, I'm like, dude, they're gonna have a season per book. We're gonna get way more.
Speaker 2:Like obviously, um, that the books kind of went through, flesh out the characters, give them more like, give the world. And and here's been my big thing about reboots, like you know, some people are against them, some, whatever it's not like it erased the first movies, you know what I mean. So, like, if you don't like it, they're still there, but for them to at least commit to it and that's what I appreciate, just in case, like, the first season isn't really what they like. Like, no, we are sitting on this. We saw it happen with Amazon, with the Lord of um, I'm I'm good with this one okay, okay, I'm excited for it.
Speaker 1:I'm excited, I mean I love. Yeah, the movies are good. I'm not a big diehard fan, like fun. Some people are like I'm a fan of the franchise. I do like the whole wand, the cosplays and everything like that. Good for them.
Speaker 2:It's not really just me, but like I gotta, I gotta wand around here somewhere I dude.
Speaker 1:I went to uh, um, was it universal? And they, that's. That place bleeds, harry potter. I wanted to buy a wand so bad, but it's like 40 to 60 bucks, and then I was like I'm gonna go home look at this wrong.
Speaker 2:Well, I want to go home and look at this like why the fuck did I buy this thing?
Speaker 1:and I looked on amazon it's the same exact thing, but like 20 bucks cheaper on amazon too. But did you get it? No, I didn't get that.
Speaker 2:I did not get see, this is what I'm saying, man.
Speaker 1:I bought stupid things, but I can't justify a wand.
Speaker 1:I can't justify a wand, and this is like the last piece of it. I don't know if you have this on your list and I'll let you get through yours in a second, but there's rumors right now of Robert Downey Jr and Ryan Reynolds beefing on the set of doomsday. This has been heavily debunked. I don't know who to believe at this point. Ryan reynolds hasn't even been confirmed to be in the movie yet. Um, I don't know if they commented on the rumors yet, but um, I don't know you buying this no, and I'll hop on the train, I'll hop on it.
Speaker 2:So, um, the person who broke it, uh, is somebody I only slightly follow, john Rocha, and he, the guy who broke it has out loud said that this is not the two people that he was talking about. So, like, if you go down that train, like no variety came out and like published the article and it turns out Ryan Reynolds and Robert Dunn Jr have never even met before in real life, but they've had like a a few across social media interactions, but Ryan Reynolds has not been on set yet. So this logistically couldn't have happened already either. So, no, I'm not buying it for a bug.
Speaker 1:Who do you think are the two rumored actors who we beef in?
Speaker 2:Man, it's got to be political. And if that's the case's, like, uh, some people were saying like, funny enough.
Speaker 1:Somebody said that, uh, anthony mackie is involved somehow, like he's the biggest name, he's the biggest man, but keep getting repeated.
Speaker 2:yeah, um, I think lapita, if she's in there, I believe, um, she's got some pretty strong takes. Um, do you know who I would love for it to be who? Robert Downey Jr and Pedro Pascal? Right, I want Mr Fantastic and Doom beefing. I want them taking it that seriously that they're, you know, beefing in real life, like that. Would that means that?
Speaker 1:the script is good, but I don't know who do you think it would be, anthony Mackie? But like I do agree with you, it is going. I I feel like it is going to be an og avenger someone's been wrong in the universe for a minute beefing with somebody new. So I mean what you say with rdj and peter baskell. I could totally see that happening. Um, I don't know like, if it's political, like you said, mark ruffalo might be involved in somehow.
Speaker 2:That's true yeah, for all, almost, almost guaranteed. It's because the reason why I, like you, got to really take what they're saying in consideration, like the first rumor I think they said it like someone made a joke, you know that wasn't taken the right way. But if it's to the point where they literally were like we'll rewrite the script, we will change your, your dates. It's something foundational, fundamental to a belief system. So that's why it screamed. Mark Ruffalo is not the type to sit back and let something slide if he feels like it's inappropriate. So, yeah, I would absolutely believe that he was involved if that happened.
Speaker 1:So, like you said, they did have to rewrite some scenes to separate these two actors. Supposedly. This is all rumors, supposedly, but that makes me think its characters rewrite some scenes to separate these two actors. Supposedly. This is all rumors, supposedly, but that makes me think its characters, or at least one of the characters, doesn't have a big role in the movie, because there's no way they would rewrite this whole big movie for these two bitching bickering.
Speaker 2:Um no, they're like why would this person, does this person have to be at the? You know the location.
Speaker 1:No, all right, get them out of there yeah, I mean it could be danny ramirez, who knows, like he's a psychic, as right now. You know um, it could be an x-men. I heard um the guy who plays cyclops. I can't remember his name, excuse me, scott something. No, not scott, um, I can't remember his name, but you know the guy who plays vision. I heard it's been him before um paul bitney. Yeah, I do think it might be one of, like, the other universes, like you said, like an x-men or, yeah, someone from.
Speaker 2:That's the pairing that makes the most sense to me, because it's not going to be too. We know how tight the original og squad they have tattoos of each other and then everybody who was around that time like, obviously, if they made it through any game, they're good, so it's I. I would very, very much hop on the side of an original og versus some some newcomer coming in a little too hot, a little too heavy, like thinking that they're, they're one of the the, the people who you know had to get put in their place could be easily paid, but not just say like that, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I've been loving all the memes about having him stressing on set and just grabbing on to girls. Go ahead with your list of Hollywood updates.
Speaker 2:My biggest was going to go. Alan Richman, you're a Reacher guy, right? We talked about this, yeah.
Speaker 1:I haven't seen the first season, but yeah.
Speaker 2:Rob, you watch so much and, at the same time, nothing I don't understand how I'm not a show guy, I'm a movie guy um, alan richmond, I guess he had a conversation with james gunn, uh, about playing batman and then came out of it was like I'm absolutely going to be, like you know, really got a bright future heading towards the dc, uh, but maybe somebody else. So not to say that he's out of the running for batman, but, um, you know, people were doing a lot of casting like an aquaman for him or like I'm a big like captain adam. He like seems like there's a lot of people that he could play um in there. So that was. It was exciting to hear that there's he's possibly gonna have, you know, a role in the upcoming dcu. Who do you, uh, who would you fan cast him as?
Speaker 1:um, you know I would love for him to be batman. I love the fan art and everything like that, but, um, he's just too old, unfortunately. Yeah, if they want somebody to be someone with corn corn sweat uh, david sweat, corn sweat um, I couldn't think of his name. Um, they gotta have somebody closer to age for them. I mean, there's rumors that we're going to hear see Batman in season two of peacemaker Like there's big rumors about that going on right now. We'll talk about that when we get that review for that.
Speaker 1:But, um, aquaman was the first thing that came to mind when he said that, like he did play Aquaman before in Smallville and, um, he just has that built. He has a good built, he has a good hairline. I think he easily can play, uh, play out. What's his name? Alan robert, something like that aquaman. Um, you said captain adam. I dude, I love that casting. As soon as you said that, that was pretty cool if I were to cast somebody else as captain adam, though I can't remember his name, but he has. He was, um, the villain in creed three.
Speaker 2:Uh, the big oh, kid, yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. I don't know that guy's name, but that would be a really good one yeah, yeah, he would be good he's built.
Speaker 1:He was just in that movie that flopped so hard last year with um, based on that borderlands yeah, I did not go that movie was bad um, to the point, I think I had a guest on for that episode. I just I felt so bad about making them watch that movie.
Speaker 2:I almost changed that episode, um, but yeah, he would be good to captain adam.
Speaker 1:I mean, well, yeah, we're gonna talk, we're gonna do a review of season two of peacemaker the first two episodes at the end of this episode, but uh, stick around for that. Yeah, but aquaman is my official choice for alan. You know what? Now I'm thinking, thinking about it. Green Arrow, he'd make a pretty good Green Arrow. I think he's too old for that. If they want to adjust his game Like Aquaman makes sense, like he's older because he's I don't know, the agency misses us. But Green Arrow, green Arrow.
Speaker 2:It wouldn't work because of Hawkgirl, but dude him as a Hawkman.
Speaker 1:That would be. That'd be pretty good. That's hawk man interesting well, you know what?
Speaker 2:because he's got like that old, like if you told me that guy was like from the 60s or you know 1730s like, and he, he like, can give off like whatever energy and he's just built like a brick. So we'll do a fan casting one day?
Speaker 1:I don't know. I'm sticking with aquaman, I'm sticking with aquaman. Yeah, I think next episode we might just do a bunch of fan castings for stuff.
Speaker 2:Um and then my last and not least, um, I had, uh, going back to star wars, a starfighter. Um, obviously, you know you talked about the first. Look a little bit of the casting dude. Um, aaron pierre is gonna be in this now with amy adams and I think like two very interesting names for a movie like this. Um, you know he's coming straight off of green lantern like is he just a franchise guy now? So kind of excited just to see him doing a lot more. Um, and then amy ad dude, I can't remember the last movie. I remember that I watched her and I know she's been in a few things, but like getting Ryan Gosling, getting, you know, up and coming new person, but like someone is, like you know, found foundational as Amy Adams, like this. This cast is starting to fill out and I'm getting really excited, interesting.
Speaker 1:Interesting and I'm getting really excited, interesting, interesting. Amy Adams. Isn't she the one that was on the Office as the purse girl? Am I thinking of the right Amy Adams In the Office as the purse girl? Yeah, like she's just a cameo for one or two episodes. She dates Jim for a minute, if I'm thinking of the same girl, like she just had a movie come out either early this year, late last year, night bitch. I don't know if you've seen that one yeah, that's the movie I was talking about.
Speaker 2:I didn't watch it oh, it was.
Speaker 1:It's good to have like if you're just coming on and relax at the end of the day. Just have on the background. It's not that good. I don't think it'll last out of the theaters too long because it jumped on a hulu right away. Yeah, I'm pretty caught up with Hollywood right now. Oh, d23 is going on right now. Some Hollywood updates talked about that, which is how I learned about Ice Age. I didn't even know. There was only one small update from Avengers, doomsday, and it was just the Russo brothers saying they're working hard on it. Paul Rudd makes a cameo. It's a great set and stuff like that. It's coming out in December 2023. They're going to have big things to show next 2023, 2026 no predicting it.
Speaker 1:I bet you they saw the first trailer on um super bowl again. That that's pretty far out still, but I'm still predicting we're gonna see the first trailer super bowl well, I'm excited.
Speaker 2:Well, now that I think about it, dude, you just talked about eva mendez coming back. Um, did you say she was in starfighter?
Speaker 1:no, I don't know, she's in whatever movie ryan gosling is doing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's okay, that's starfighter I don't know why I didn't put that together. Until this exact moment I was like, oh yeah yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1:I don't know how big of a role she's gonna have on there there. I mean, I'm going to watch it just for her alone. Yeah, I love her. I love her so much. And then Ryan Gosling has come on several times, like you know. She's just been a great support of his acting career. She had personal stuff in her life, like her brother had cancer or something like that, so that's why she wasn't in the limelight for the longest. But, um, yeah, let's see what how she does in the franchise, like this, like, uh, she's she did in two. They bring everybody back in too fast and furious. Why not bring her back, you know?
Speaker 2:for fast 11.
Speaker 1:We're here for it yeah, um, I think we're ready to get our review quad stealing. Let's do it. We're gonna do like a two minute spoiler free review first, um, and then if you want to watch this movie, which I highly recommend you do, go ahead and listen and come back out of the finish. The review, um, caught stealing. This one was not.
Speaker 1:I didn't hold this up high on my radar and I the trailers looked okay to me, but I was like they're just forcing austin bullard on my throat at this point. This movie made me eat. Made me eat my words so much because this was great. It was such a great time. Like I talked about the director pushing it to the limits. There is stuff like where they could have easily chickened out and no, you see, you see them push those limits. Like I was surprised, genuinely surprised, at some of the things that they did, like they actually followed through in this movie. Um, it was great, it was funny. The soundtrack was great. The way it was shot, it was great. Um, all the acting was phenomenal. Austin baller just made me want to go to the gym right after the movie, so it had motivations on me. How did you feel about?
Speaker 2:it. Yeah, um, we're a little bit different. I think this movie is really really good and and it captured my interest. I think there is a pacing problem with this movie because I thought that it was two and a half hours long and then I looked at the runtime and I said hour 45. Like I don't know what it was about the movie that just kept going and like felt every like. You know, there's a scene in here where like it feels like it ends and then there's another 45 minutes of this movie, so that that part was strange to me. But man stellar, cast, similar like austin butler, carries this on his back, his very ripped back, and zoe kravitz is in here just doing her thing. Uh, there's like a lot of like man, she's so fine in this movie.
Speaker 2:She's so fine, so fine, brother, like I. I watched it and I was like that's my cat woman. Like I was like that's that's why you, you choose her. Um, and there's like a you know, vincent d'onofrio's in here, like randomly, like there's a lot of really great casting. Everyone brings it, similar to you. There was some. I was like they're not going to go there and I was. You've met me covering my eyes for part of this movie and I didn't expect that. But it's a really, really interesting story. It's really good. Matt Smith is in here as well. It doesn't have a lot to do, but it's fun. It's gruesome, adrenaline pumping.
Speaker 1:But man, I really thought this movie was the longest movie I've ever seen in my life, so I gotta, I gotta dock it so I have a theory of why you think that, and I think it's the same case with a lot of movies that feel longer than what it is. And it's a star, austin butler, what it is. He's in every single scene of this movie. I think it's an hour 48 minutes. He's probably in an hour 44 minutes then in this whole movie. Yeah, and just seeing the same person on screen over and over again, like I think that's like damn, like when are we going to move on from this or something like that? You know you're talking about the pacing of it. I do feel what you mean. I thought it was.
Speaker 1:It did take a little bit long. For me, it wasn't a good way. I didn't check, which is like surprising for me. Um, I went to I went the opening night, thursday, but it was like an earlier show, like around four o'clock. There was like only a couple people in the movie theater with me, um, but I think it's going to be underrated, like I. Like I said I don't even think it beat weapons this weekend it's still only saturday when we're recording this, but, um, opening day weapons still beat it and um, I think this is going to be listed as one of the most honor rated movies of the year. I do hope everyone's going to seize it. Austin Butler kills it, but that's my theory of why you think it's too long. Austin Butler was in too much of every single scene his character.
Speaker 2:But he does so well Like I really want everybody to understand like he crushes it. Similar to what you're saying, though he's just in all of it.
Speaker 1:Like all of it, like I just I don't know, maybe I got fatigued, but I mean the character development was great. I love the pacing with that, like how he owns up to the, the thing, his origin story kind of thing, um, and it I think it circles back perfectly in this movie, like, yeah, like it's a sad ending, a little bit um, but I I had a great time watching this, even like, like the set of story side and everything like that. It's set in the 90s. I'm starting to love when movies do this. It's so nostalgic, like it feels cool.
Speaker 1:Granted, like there wasn't big, massive sets, like I think it was pretty small, something like a small bar and uh, you don't really see new york in the 90s in this movie, maybe a couple scenes on the street, um, but from what? Like the camera work, the visuals, the lighting it was great. The freaking um, the costumes are not awesome. Uh, the soundtrack was great. The cool thing about the soundtrack and I this hasn't happened yet I listened to my fate, one of my favorite podcasts happy, sad, confused, um, with the director. I keep mentioning the director um darren uh aronofsky thank you.
Speaker 1:Um, he was on there getting interviewed and they mentioned they were talking about the soundtrack. They had the person who was Head of music Make the director A playlist based Off of what he thinks each character would listen to. So Austin Butler's character had a playlist. Matt Smith, did you know Zoe Kravitz? He said they were planning, they are planning on releasing that as part of the press for this movie all their different soundtracks and I looked it up. I cannot find it yet, but I'm I'm very pumped to see what these characters listening to and I wish more movies are going to start doing this um well, I think james gunn pioneered this right, because he did this, uh, for superman as well each.
Speaker 1:Each character had their own sound. My playlist. I didn't know that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm definitely gonna check that out now yeah, hop on, like when you uh go to the superman um soundtrack on spotify, like everyone was doing this, like trend of seeing what who you got first like whatever characters your album cover and then he like intros it by. Like this is what they would be listening to, or like what motivated the character interesting, interesting.
Speaker 1:I like that a lot. Um, it's a cool marketing thing. Like it's free, it's nothing like it has nothing to do yep with. Like the actual character itself, it's just like. Hey, it's just for a fun fact, this is what they're listening to. Um, speaking of fun marketing, this is going off topic for one minute.
Speaker 1:Uh, the toxic avenger also came out this weekend with peter dinklage. Uh, I think is on my radar. I don't know what it's about, but I do want to go see it. Marketing for that, it's a very, very low-budget movie. But what they're doing with their marketing is crazy. I believe they're donating some of their money to people who need it, and that alone is just getting good press. I heard some TikTokers hope that it starts a trend with movies like donating for a cause or something like that. I can't remember which charity they're donating to or what they were doing with that money, but they are giving away a good chunk of their marketing budget, so good for them. Because of that, that caught on my radar. I'm definitely going to check it out. I'm more likely to check it out now. So it definitely worked.
Speaker 1:Alright, let's dive a little bit deeper. Spoilers in this next part. You know I had to mention how Austin Butler has great, he looks great in this movie. But he did work hard on his specific physique in this movie and I read like some fun facts about it. He has played like a washed up baseball player, like high school baseball player, you know. Like he's still trained with professional players, if'm not mistaken, to get his physique a little bit, especially his swing. In this movie he worked with professional like trainers who train athletes, like baseball players. Excuse me, but they also want to make him seem more like a washed up baseball player so they have him on a diet like eating pizza and ice cream in between sets too. So I mean, like it's kind of a win-win with you. Like he wasn't in great like a physical shape, he seemed more like a realistic shape I should say so that's, that's what made me realistic, this man's ripped.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I take that back, you're right way too cut.
Speaker 2:Yeah, maybe you gotta like that rob. Maybe I do. I'm just hiding it all, yeah.
Speaker 1:Light work. Um, and that same interview I heard that on happy, sad, confused the director was talking about like, and it was as soon as he said it I was like I a thousand percent agree with what he's saying. He said it feels like two separate movies in this second part. Um, he said the tone definitely shifts and I think I pinpointed where that tone shifts it. I think it's when they kill zoe kravitz character. Everything gets not not stopped like 10. Um, because that was the biggest thing is like oh shit, I can't believe they actually killed the girlfriend. Like zoe kravitz and I was also bro heartbroken, I was damn it, I was, I liked her character, you loved her character, but like I was like I can't believe they had the balls to kill her off like that.
Speaker 2:They killed first of all everybody was pissed, yeah, yeah, that one genuinely shocked me, like that's not really something, that a lot of movies go to, that quickly at least, and like there was a little bit of a setup, because she didn't say, like the, you have my number, like, so it felt like, but I just thought like, oh, she's gonna leave him, or something. I'm like damn.
Speaker 1:They killed my girl.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean the biggest thing in this situation. Like I feel like Austin Butler's character his actions are also reasonable and relatable Like I feel like almost every way he acted in this movie I would act the same. Like I would feel scared to call the cops too at the beginning. You know, like they got, they got jumped. Like he didn't. I thought maybe he was going to be like this, this punk little punk, and stand out to the right guy like. No, he was literally in the wrong place at the wrong time. And this whole movie is him as a normal person. He's not trying to be like john wick or anything like that, he's literally just trying to survive you just summed up.
Speaker 2:The exact reason why I love most of this movie is I didn't watch the full trailer thankfully, because now I've seen it spoils the entire movie. But I saw the scene. There's a lot. But I saw the scene with them coming to the door and I was like, oh, like, all right, he's going to be no dude, he gets the shit kicked out of him and I was like I genuinely appreciate it and he's just on the run. I don't know if I agree with every decision he made, but I, I was. I was pretty, uh, pretty thoroughly impressed with how it felt, like, like it genuinely felt like he found himself in this position and he couldn't get out of it, where most times we're just like bro, just go somewhere else, like nah. They made it very clear that he was kind of, he had to go figure it out I mean also.
Speaker 1:Almost every single character in this movie could deserve their own spin-off movie like a prequel. Am I not right?
Speaker 2:it is a universe very built in and you kind of talked about it earlier just with that like 90s vibe. I saw someone say and I this is like the best thing I can agree with. It doesn't feel like it was like shot or like you know a nineties movie, because it was, like you know, tonally that way. It felt like this movie came out in the nineties. Like that, like genuinely. That's like the best compliment I can give it. Like if you would have told me this movie was released back then I was like man, they did really good with the, that kind of uh changes. For me, like this is, this is a very lived in universe a thousand percent agree.
Speaker 1:I mean this movie. I'm gonna say, like this movie is timeless, like you can watch this 30 years from now. I think it's gonna hold up very well. Uh, they don't really rely on it in the 90s, like to be an obstacle for them. In this case, like they even have cell phones, like yeah, it's a shitty cell phone, but um, they're. I mean, it's the same day-to-day business. Like this could take place today and it'll be the same outcome really. The only thing that will be different and I mentioned this to you as soon as you watched the movie Craziest thing to see ever the very first shot of this movie to establish itself in the 90s is them showing the Twin Towers in New York. That means this is pre-9-11. The movie ends with him sneaking onto a plane. I was like this is this, didn't? I might be the only one who noticed that. I might be the only one overthinking that. Him sneaking on a plane very easily. Matter of fact, I was like that was kind of sauce little to no resistance and you know what I'm.
Speaker 2:It's really funny, obviously, you know. You said you texted me that and I laughed. But that was like my only like slight gripe coming out of it was I was like man, that kind of happened way too easy and I was like yeah, there's no reason.
Speaker 1:Like people weren't as suspicious back then, like absolutely, I buy that a thousand percent um the plot twist with the detective, detective roman played by regina king, um the plot was with her being like the real bad guy. Didn't surprise me at all, like I caught.
Speaker 2:I caught that like right away, when he was like interrogating her at his kitchen table I didn't catch it at the kitchen table, but right when she started talking about like having a whole other life, I was like nah weird yeah yeah, the person who I was sitting, uh, who I watched it with they, were they gasped. No, they caught me off guard. I was like dude, like no way, you know good, I wish I had that reaction, though.
Speaker 1:Good for them. I clocked that right away. Um, that all seemed as weird as okay.
Speaker 2:Like when she like just poured out her dreams to this random guy, I was like okay yeah, I was like this is a, this is a strange go back to the police station and as soon as I saw that, I was like ah, there we go um, these also have like the best hiding spots I could think of ever, like in these movies, like with the key hidden in the cat poop.
Speaker 1:I would have never if it wasn't for him. I mean that that litter box wasn't even supposed to be in his, in his apartment. So I mean like he's literally in the wrong place at the wrong time, everywhere. Yeah, disguising it as fake poop genius, genius, genius, dude. And also disguising like hiding the key in the cat's, like little wrap genius. I would never thought to look there. He's surprised me a lot with that. Um, I do want to talk about bad bunny and caught stealing. He was great. I'm liking him a lot as an actor. I I could talk about your face you're not agreeing with this but I thought he was good. I thought he was good. Granted, like, even when he was speaking english, they were giving him subtitles because you couldn't understand. But as far as intimidation goes, or or like creepy, like hot, hot, trigger, happy guy, I thought he was good. I thought it was good yeah, no, that's fair.
Speaker 2:I don't dislike him like ever since bullet train actually I've been a big fan of him. Like branching out and doing this, this is just like the safest scene you could have gave him. Like he was definitely intimidating, like when he brought out the gun at first and he was a little bit more calm and collected and then he gets crazy, crazy and I said there's Bad Bunny. So I think when he's grounded he's a lot better. But he didn't detract from it in any way for me.
Speaker 1:So do you think Bad Bunny is great in all these movies he's been in, but he's not really the star in any of the movies he's been in. He only has small cameos. Do you think we would think Bad Bunny is a good actor if he starred in a movie? He was supposed to start that sony, uh, spider-man villain movie uh, that got canceled. But do you think he has what it takes to carry a whole movie by himself as a no hard?
Speaker 2:no, I don't think he's anywhere close and I don't think that's a bad thing. I think, like you gotta recognize that I think he's running through the reps right now. Um, in the future can I imagine him being there, you know he the same way that I imagine john cena doing it right, like you know, before peacemaker, I can see him in a lot of fun roles as a lead, but and will I ever take him like very seriously? I don't think that he's.
Speaker 1:He's built for that quite yet I think he's getting there. He's not there yet I think he's very close. I like seeing him on screen. I enjoy all of his cameos and his small parts. I feel like his parts are getting bigger. He had a big part in Happy Gilmore 2. That was very silly.
Speaker 2:I was just about to say that. You see what I'm saying. They're all, like this, really eccentric or goofy character the eccentric or goofy character.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, we you mentioned in bullet train. I loved his character a lot. It's very kind of similar to this character too, a little bit. Um, I would, I would like to see a spinoff with that character, like his, his origin story, because it looked very interesting. He's a killer. We're like a part of his family. It was all big thing. I would like to see more of that kind of stuff. Um, I don't know, but maybe, maybe I don't know what kind of role I could see him in. That isn't so much of the roles he already played Exactly. He's also surprising us. He's surprising me so much with how funny he is too. I mean he could do a lot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that's what I mean. But I think that he just if he stays in this box will he be successful, absolutely 100%. If he branches out, and I was like you know we're about to head into Oscar season If I see him pop up there it's going to be a jump scare Whoa, what are you doing, buddy? So I just want him to be happy. Like you know, even I was talking to somebody this other day like obviously we there's a rumor that Blue Beetle, you know, could be in the DCU. Like if he popped up in that, you know, I'd be like, yeah, that's like, please go work with James Gunn, like I want you to have. Like you know, and he does really well when he leans into his culture. So like something like that will set him up for success. I just want him to develop there first before we push him, you know, to a box office failure.
Speaker 1:I think I would like to see um bad bunny and blue beetle more as george lopez's character.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, how about that?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah, um, who else is in this movie? Zoe kravitz. Let's talk about her for a minute, because she is so bad in this movie. Oh, my god she is. She is everything you want in a woman. She's, she's great. Her character was good. You were meant to fall in love with her and she made it so easy to do so. The cute little thing like you got my number just calling me. She was there, always there for me. You see her get heartbroken at one point because of some mean things he says but she is quick to not quick to forgive, she's still nurturing. After that, to him Sympath, forgive, she's still nurturing. And after that, like to him sympathetic, she helps him heal back to health a little bit.
Speaker 1:Um, her death was a big impact on the whole movie and when they find out the end twisting with like oh my gosh, brothers, the jewish brothers were the ones who did it, you. Honestly, when they brought up that little gun, they're like oh yeah, I completely forgot. Like someone did kill this woman and it happened to be them. Like I forgot all about that, but it was such perfect timing how they brought that out, brandon. I thought that was genius. What a genius way to review.
Speaker 2:We're on the same page. I'm thinking obviously it's the end of the movie. Brother, I'm locked in. I'm like you know what? Yeah, he's gonna get out of this. And I here's the thing I knew the gun was gonna come into play, or at least I thought it was. When I saw it I was like check off's gun. We know we're gonna see this in some way. Maybe he'll, like you know, get himself out of it by pretending it's real. And I completely forgot about it. The moment she died I was like, oh, never mind, out of there. So when I saw that, I damn near gasped. I was like, ah, you. And then like the tense, like feeling of that scene and the way they like shot it and let it sit, dude, probably my favorite top three scene in the movie for me.
Speaker 1:Definitely the same way as you. He totally misled me. I thought he was awesome, but the same way, he's going to use it as a fake gun. No great, great callback. Let me just talk about the Jewish Brothers. If anyone deserves a spin-off series, it's these two guys. It's these two guys.
Speaker 2:Geez, louise, I'm. It's these two guys, um jeez, I'm trying to look up their names vincent denafrio and uh, is that lee schreiber?
Speaker 1:yes, lee schreiber who? Both of these characters, first of all, I didn't recognize right away until like the close-ups of their face these guys did not give a fuck.
Speaker 1:They did not give a fuck. They literally killed anybody that was in their way, didn't even look back, did not stop their stride at all. Um, these guys had the balls to do everything and but yet it's so funny how they're still religious because like they won't, like they won't drive, bro, they don't. It's what it is. I think you say you can't operate machines or something like that or anything electronic, but they still follow rules like that hilarious little touch to their characters. Um, like I said, if anyone deserved a spinoff, it was the two characters. They even, like, have like a soft little heart story with their family, you see, like her grand, their grandmother or something like that, like how much they respect and love her, and then, after they were, after their deaths, was like, oh no, what about their grandma? You know like what's gonna happen? I'm still thinking about that a little bit. They were badass.
Speaker 1:Now, the only thing about this movie is this key. The key, the thing. That is the kind of thing that's bothering me. Obviously, no one really knows what the key is until matt smith comes out. I'll talk about him in a second, until matt smith uh, reveals it's for a garage unit. But once you find out it's for a garage unit, all this does is like unlock a little padlock.
Speaker 1:I'm surprised, like the jewish guys, I was like fuck that key, we don't need the key, just get bolt cutters. You know, like why is the key so important? But then, yeah, I don't think they told they knew the jewish people that was for a storage unit, which is. I'm glad they didn't reveal that because that's the only thing. That's not you know making my thing up a plot hole, um. But there's a big thing. I was like it's the key is really not a big deal, especially a cop like you can get like a warrant to go search this freaking uh storage locker if you wanted to, if you knew about it, um, but yeah, that's my only complaint about the movie. With that it's literally one key and no one even knows what this key is for and they're just assuming this is where their money is at, or has something.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, we're on the exact same page. Because I'm like is like, yeah, they have to assume it's either in like a trunk, you know, or like a basement, or like you know somewhere like vault, maybe like with the, you know, with a lock pad. But I was like, yeah, man, just follow the guy you know. Like if you know that it's at a stores locker, that would be beyond easy to go snag yourself.
Speaker 1:Especially the cop. Like you think you would like look up records, like okay, he owns like a storage unit at this place, like let's go check that and see if that's there. I don't know, it was in the 90s too, so maybe I don't think I have access to stuff like that. I could be wrong. Um, matt smith's character in this movie man, I went in this movie wanting to hate this guy so much. Um, mostly because of, uh, morbius. I hated him in morbius so much.
Speaker 2:I was already prejudging oh, were you not a? Uh, are you a doctor? Who guy?
Speaker 1:no dude.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, he's the best doctor bro. Okay, those guys are cool. Yeah, he's.
Speaker 1:He's the guy in there you know what, in the first like appearance before he leaves to london, like I was kind of annoyed, this character is like ain't no way this guy but when he comes back and he spent a little time with them and, like you know, you also find out too, like when he left he was not in this kind of trouble, like he was literally just he just missed a payday for some people, basically. And um, yeah, once you find that out too, like, oh, like it seemed realistic too. There was no big crime drug, drug lord crime or trying to cross anybody there was.
Speaker 2:He went to london for his dad. Yeah, like it, just he, he just spaced. And then this guy is the guy to space out, like yeah, 100, I buy that yeah.
Speaker 1:So I mean, once you find him and then his crash out to when he kills, like, uh, you know he's obviously hurt. So he's like delusional. He kills some people by accident I'm not by accident, but like the way his character dies. It was he fell for his character too.
Speaker 2:They made you like, oh man, damn, I thought I was gonna make it, kind of thing yeah, obviously he does, like the thing where he, you know, tries to betray him there for a second, and that aggravated me. Um, but yeah, man, I think that, like I wish I would have got a little bit more of him. But, like him being this crazy, like weird dude, that's just on one. But like he said, he said it too, because he's like, really, they all gave you this money. He's like, yeah, I'm a professional and everyone knows like I'm too free, like I'm too scared of anybody to cross. I'm like I was like again, yeah, that that actually makes sense.
Speaker 1:So no, I I think they did a really good job there oddly enough, the only one who survives this whole movie is pavel like, and arguably the most one, who was the danger, the most dangerous in this whole movie. Like little short guy I think he just gets knocked out and, um, yeah, with the baseball bat like, oddly enough, he's the only one who survives this whole movie. Besides, awesome, brother, um, we don't know we're. I know we're taking a lot of time real quick, but the ending with him getting away with Scott Free, with this whole thing, I don't know. There's no other way he could have done it too. He is a wanted man. There's no way he's going to. There's no witnesses anymore. All these deaths are going to get pinned on him, so he has to leave the country. I would never have thought to ever steal my friend's passport, though, and move to.
Speaker 2:London friend's passport though, and moved to london. That was really smart. I am not really on the same I because, like one, it's the 90s, so it's not like everything is crazy. But I thought multiple times at least before, like all the triple murders, bro, you have money, like I, like there was.
Speaker 2:There was a point where I'm like four point mill can get you away. Don't know how to say you. This happens in new york. They say he's from California, brother, you are on coast to coast. Like we're on opposite sides. Hell, go to the Midwest, brother, you can live lavishly or like comfortably, and no one will ever know. Like that was the only thing that was. Like at what point do you cut and run? But I do appreciate, like that's why Zoe had to die, you know, because like it really tied him to it, like once they said the thing about his mom, she won't be safe. Like I was like all right, I guess I can, I guess I can get on the on board with this, but by the end of the movie, no, he's screwed. Go, take your four milli, hop into an island, you can, you're, you're good for the rest of your life.
Speaker 1:But also you can't come back, like Like you could never come down because your name would get ran through a system, like obviously you're not gonna look like your friend forever, yep. I mean, yeah, your mom can come visit you, but you can never go back to the United States.
Speaker 2:It's alright. He said he was alone. You know he's got his mom and you know his girl died, so you know what does he come back for? He got the cat with them. Yeah, that's true. Who was the? Who was literally the damn near main character Besides him, like that cat. They really did a good job of making us care for the thing, oh yeah because the cat was great.
Speaker 1:I mean I don't know how much of acting or CGI or something like that, the facial expressions, the way it looks at somebody it was a good cat. I had a blast watching this movie. I damn near would say I would go see this movie again in theaters. It was that good I think. Think it's gonna be underrated. I think everyone should go see it and for that I'm getting like a 9.5 out of 10.
Speaker 2:Whoa, yeah yeah, we gotta put, like you know, the horns like wow, I told you like the only thing I thought would be a plot point like I talked myself out of it, like it's not a plot point, there's not too much I would change about this movie.
Speaker 1:I thought it was genius, it was fun. I can't wait to go see it again.
Speaker 2:Wow this is a movie that has aged better with me from the moment I left the theater. I cannot stress enough. I really did leave in a bad mood because of how I felt, like because of the the timing of this movie. Um, when I was on the way, like riding back, me and my movie buddy were talking. I like this is a 2.5 for me. We got a 5.
Speaker 2:Like I just cannot get over, as I've sat with it, I hear other people talk about it. There is so much to love in this movie, man, I think at the end of the day I'm still going a little bit lower. I will give it a solid 7.5. Okay, 7.5, okay, 7.5 highest I can do.
Speaker 1:Do you think you would?
Speaker 2:appreciate it more on a second watch. Yeah, I most likely will, 100, especially because now I know that it's not gonna psych me out. The scene I'm talking about is when he went to the beach and put his like feet in the water. I was like this is the worst ending I've ever seen in a movie and it like it didn't end. But it was like that moment, like they, they know what they were doing I was just like okay, um. So from there, like all my brain was thinking it's like long ass movie, long ass movie, long ass, yeah, um. So yeah, on the second watch I think that'll be dissolved and I'll appreciate it more. It can get up to an 8.5 for me, but this, this is a solid 7.5.
Speaker 1:We didn't even talk about the scenes with his crash and his flashbacks and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean I do love the scene where he comes to cope with it, when he does admit it, like I did kill my friend. It wasn't on purpose, but he never admitted he killed his friend, he was selfish with it. It and I do like it came the full circle and especially how he kills them the same way. You know he killed his friends. I mean beautiful. I mean he was probably didn't even care if he died himself at that point. You know he lost so much. Up to that point he lost his girlfriend, his bartender, like his boss, and his friends and um, you know you can only get stabbed and cut so many times before you start taking it personally. You know it was good. It was a good movie a little bit more. I mean we can speed some of the stuff because we did talk about that.
Speaker 1:We watched season 2 of Peacemaker. There's two episodes released. I think it's safe to say I like this season already more than the first season and it's only been two episodes. I'm not saying the first season was bad at all. I love the first season. I think it's better, it's good, and the biggest thing I was concerned about was like how are they going to merge these two and like they do it so simply, like, oh it's, yeah, all that stuff is canon, but just in another universe. We're just going to have him walk over to our universe through this closet Simple. I like those simple facts and like the first episode, like he kills his um doppelganger, I was like, okay, he's just gonna fill in that gap. Then you know like that's what you're assuming so far as right now yeah, that's what you assume and then the second episode.
Speaker 1:You see, I'm like one of the things I wrote my notes, like I'm so happy they're sticking with the source material of suicide squad, like everything that happened, like him killing rick flag jr. It's still coming to play, even in season two, because now we have rick flag senior, who, um is played by frank frank grillo grillo, who was also like canon before this in that um creature commandos episode. Yep, I'm liking it. I'm liking james gunn is cooking with so far, like everything is so collaborative it's.
Speaker 1:I mean, the only thing I'm confused about is like how everyone made a big fuss about the end credit scene not the end credit scene, the ending of season one, it was superman and justice league coming into and how they changed it to the justice gang. But I was like why, if you already assume, like establish this is a different universe, you know why do we?
Speaker 2:yeah, we just it's a retcon, you know. Live with it because it's a but it's a less than 30 second fix that makes everything better so what, what, what difference does it make, though?
Speaker 1:like if that's a different universe, you know, like why not superman and ben affleck exist in that movie or show, if this, if that's not even our peacemaker? You know what I mean no, but that's no.
Speaker 2:That's the retcon. It is our peacemaker. That's the same universe. James Gunn just changed it.
Speaker 1:I know that, but why? Because, okay, let's call it the suicide.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, it's all good.
Speaker 1:It's A. David Cornsweth's universe is B.
Speaker 2:No, I see what you're saying. Now I understand what you're saying. Actually, I get it completely. I don't know, people are stupid. I absolutely understand. Yes, if we're talking about the dcu, then why does it matter?
Speaker 1:on the same page, yeah, yeah, I mean unless, like, they're gonna come on say like, oh, similar events happen in the second one too. You know, I mean it's other universe too, but I don't kind of doubt it and I like how they they really I think john cena's character has like real emotions, like the second one too, you know, I mean it's other universe too, but I don't kind of doubt it and I like how they they really I think john cena's character has like real emotions, like oh man, seniors, you're look at yourself in your eye, your own eyes.
Speaker 1:It gives you chills, like you. I think he has realistic reactions versus like either either straight to fighting or straight to like um, joking around or something like that yeah, I think james gunn talked about that too.
Speaker 2:He said you know, the biggest surprise that he had for this season was he had obviously done a lot of work. You know development John Cena as an actor in season one. But he said he hadn't, you know, worked with him for, you know, almost a year and a half. So that scene at the end of episode one was the first scene that they filmed. And he said I was shocked like at like what, what Cena Cena brought to the table. He said, all right, this is going to be a fun season. Then I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 1:The tones everyone's back. They made you fall in love with the team so much in season one. I'm loving every single second. They're on screen together as one. Tim Meadows is an interesting add-on to the season. He's hilarious.
Speaker 2:He's funny as hell dude. I know it's not going to work for somebody. I get it Like. If you tell me that it's a little too over the top or a little too goofy, I 100% understand, but I also don't care. Bird blindness is real, all right, and it's something that we need to start addressing.
Speaker 1:The bird was on top of the guy. I was like like I can't tell how big this bird is. I just got attacked by a duck, bro. I was freaking, crying, honestly. I watched that episode earlier today and I already want to go back and re-watch that show like the whole first two episodes.
Speaker 2:It's so good it is so good, this is so good james gunn?
Speaker 1:did he direct this season two or just wrote it? Do you know? Yeah, yes, he did he's. I don't believe this guy has any time to himself like this. Guy is the busiest man in hollywood right now. He's riding like crazy. He's directing like crazy. Good for him. I mean, I heard him get interviewed the question like how long does he think he can do this? Like he said, he's not gonna do it forever, obviously, but he is gonna be doing it for a long while at least. I was like that's all I asked for, because I believe it was in the 60s, I believe.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, you know he is what we talked about right when he was announced as CEO. Like he is the creative, he's the thread. So I 100 percent he's like making sure that he lays the groundwork now. That's why I like obviously it's really great seeing the reception of Superman Creature Commandos was badass. Like this season is already off to a great start. Lanterns is the next project and it's the first one that he didn't work on himself. So that'll be the true test if this universe is going to work. Is Lanterns out before Supergirl?
Speaker 1:Yeah, the TV show is going to come out, okay. Okay, I think he wrote supergirl, correct yep, okay, he does.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's what I mean. It's the first one he didn't write or direct like yeah, he just you know produced yeah, I'm excited to see where it goes from that.
Speaker 1:Um, dude I, we might do weekly updates on the show too, because I I just want to talk about the show for we please, please.
Speaker 1:It's so good yeah and I gotta keep you on it. You do, you do um, and the last thing real quick before we go. I know we've been on for like a while now. Um, we had another game lined up. We were supposed to do this like the other episode, but, um, I thought it'll be a fun game to pick two movies that we think could co-exist in the same world, if you, if you just imagine them to. Um, I have five mashups here. I don't know how many you have, but um, and some of these are. I got five. Okay, some of these are probably theories, so I mean, I'll let you go first this time too well, hold on all right.
Speaker 1:First one oh, sorry, the just for the clip. These are episodes, sorry. These are movies we think could exist in the same world.
Speaker 2:All right. First one we just talked about this movie and I think it lends itself Well John Wick and nobody right Totally similar action styles, very, very Lindsay to each other's world. I think that if you told me that this happened in the same universe, I wouldn't even blink an eye. I completely agree.
Speaker 1:They even have. They use gold, like they do in john wick too, a little bit, and you know there's similar things. If you were to tell me, like I mean, his dad was a part of the freaking same game as him, um, christopher lloyd, he could have definitely be like friends with winston or something like that. You know they might be outside. What is it like that? I can't remember what the upper people are called in this moment, like not the pyramids, um oh, the uh, I just know him as the high table.
Speaker 2:I don't high table or something like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the high table the high table could exist in this universe too. They could be definitely some of their handlers, the one that's like studying their missions. You know, um, it's I. It's very possible. There are several movies like you could honestly say the taken. It could be in the universe too 100, 100.
Speaker 2:What else you got for me? All right next up, I got a little bit of a throwback, but uh, kind of works for me. Inception in the matrix um, I think that if you tell me that you know we just kept going with technology, uh, um, and obviously, like the dream state, I think there's a very linear you you know story that you could tell on how we got there.
Speaker 1:Interesting. I could buy that Good pick.
Speaker 2:Thank you, thank you, um, next up, and you know I wanted to give a fun one, um, so I'll go fast and furious and cars would be same world, it just becomes animated. This is years and years down the line, um, and you know the, uh, the cars become sentient because of family, you know. But, uh, this, this was inspired because of, uh, uh, the sony leak there. I guess gi joe and transformers were supposed to be in the same universe so what would that look? Like you know.
Speaker 1:Uh, so you know, just went a little bit goofy there I'm surprised vin diesel has not voiced a character in cars yet, though he has to, like you're leaving money on the table.
Speaker 2:You're leaving money on the table um, two more um, just because it is a fan theory, like, let's talk about it home alone and saw oh, I did hear about that.
Speaker 1:Like well, kevin mccallister was kevin, is that right? Kevin mccallister, yeah, yeah, is thought to be grown up to be jigsaw. Interesting theory, interesting theory, I mean. I think the only really connection is like they're fixed on, like setting up these crazy traps, these very intricate traps, because Kevin McCallister is sadistic as hell.
Speaker 2:So again, if you don't want to smash, up two.
Speaker 1:I know you didn't even watch the song movies.
Speaker 2:I did. I watched the first two Really and then I ran away and then, last but not least, I was really trying to incorporate one of my favorite movies and top five for me is the Truman show. So I think the weirdly enough one that kind of fits in the same realm would be don't worry, darling.
Speaker 1:Don't worry, darling, florence Pugh and Harry Styles and you, anything that ties in with the truman show. I could see it being inspired by the truman show. Definitely, yeah, so I think that like because of, like the success of that.
Speaker 2:I think that if you told me, like in the future, uh, those events led to people like trying to live in simulations or, you know, escape reality. I think that they, they have a similar theme there. Um, so I would, I would kind of go there like very creepy corporation, different, experimental, perfect cities or towns with people, um, I think that'd be a good one I can see that knowledge reported that way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, definitely, definitely. That was your last one, right? Yep, all right, I got five. Those are regular, those are good. I think you put them together, but not that I have on my list, but some of these are already established theater like, uh, theories, um, the first one we got ghostbusters and casper the ghost.
Speaker 1:Okay, there is a small thing, like in the beginning of casper the ghost, where they're trying to find buyers. They do have, like, um, people in jumpsuits, similar to the Ghostbusters, trying to flush out these ghosts. It's not really said to be Ghostbusters, it's mostly a parody of them. But I would like to think that parody does come from the real-life Ghostbusters in the movie, in the universe. So I'm seeing those Jay and Silent Bob and Scream 3. They do have a cameo in Scream 3. So everything that happens in Jay and Silent Bob's Scream 3. They do have a cameo in Scream 3, so everything that happens in Jay and Silent Bob's world is canon to Scream Universe, et and Star Wars. They are coexisting. There is a planet with ET on there and, granted, they don't take place near the same timelines at all, but I mean they could evolve, they could be the Wookiees.
Speaker 2:You mean, they could?
Speaker 1:evolve. They could, you know they could be the Wookiees, like they just grow hairs on, like that later down the line.
Speaker 1:I see what you're saying, like if it, uh, they obviously have been around long enough, like we're just in a different part of the galaxy, okay, Um, this next one I did talk about when I reviewed the karate kid because it was planned to cross over in the future and, like so some of the universe of ours, this crossover does exist. Uh, the Rocky franchise and the karate kid franchise, both directed by the same directors, I mean the director who directed both those movies. Um, it's simple enough Like one's boxing, one's karate, they can't exist in the same world, you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, and like the importance of them. Obviously, like boxing was a lot bigger than it is now, but like at the time and Rocky, it seems like the greatest thing on the planet. That's how karate can feel. So I can absolutely see that people are already accustomed to cheering for things like that.
Speaker 1:And my last one. I'm going to say that Greece is in the same world as high school musical Cause, if there's a world. That's confirmed everyone knows that right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, Cause if there's a world that's confirmed, everyone knows that right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, If there's a world of high school just singing, you damn well combat like they easily can fit in each other's world.
Speaker 2:I like that. I like that. I just thought of two more. Go ahead, okay, very quick.
Speaker 1:Purge and hunger games. The purge in the hunger games Just the idea of connecting is killing.
Speaker 2:Like the, just the idea of connecting is killing. Like the the purge like happens way, way before the hunger games. Like it's like all right, purge didn't work. How do we still get everybody in line? You know, we we do it once a year, but just with 12 select cities or people sure about that?
Speaker 1:because isn't like hunger games, like their continent, is not like ours at all, really like, ah, well, you know and then, last but not least, you inspired me with the karate kid breakfast club and ferris bueller's day off I've heard that theory before and I totally buy that.
Speaker 1:I would love to yeah, that, that's the one that's like, obviously a layup have you heard the theory that, like the breakfast club was all in um, I can't remember her name, one of the names, uh, the one of their things she made up the whole movie in her mind like she was crazy the whole time oh, I think so, but I don't.
Speaker 1:Yeah, come on that's kind of a wild theory um, very last thing before you go in. I think it's been like close an hour and a half not ready. Um, just leave it off. On movie recommendations, how we all do. So I took recommendations that I thought of, like I loved caught stealing so much, like, oh, I want to go through and watch some movies that are similar to this. What can I go watch? And I have five suggestions actually, but I'm not. You can go with your first, with yours. No, go ahead. Okay, if you like caught stealing, I, I recommend watching the Fugitive in 1993 or Fargo.
Speaker 1:It came out in 1996. Jackie Brown, 1997. The Usual Suspects and the Talented Mr Ridley. If you enjoy caught stealing, you might enjoy any of those movies.
Speaker 2:Okay, I like the Fugitive on there being, uh, being a good pick. Um, you know, everyone keeps talking about this k-pop demon slayer. Um, obviously we've. We've talked about it now with nazium. Um, and you know, just shout out to sony's animation team like, obviously, with everything they're doing, again that spider verse poster right behind you doing well, um, so I will throw it back to one that kind of snuck under the radar. But the Mitchells vs the Machines fantastic movie and really, really holds up to that Sony animated line.
Speaker 1:Okay, I like that a lot. I'm probably going to add it to my list pretty soon. Brandon, we're here to the next episode. That was a good episode. I love this episode a lot. We talked about having our guest here to the next episode. That was a good episode. I love this episode a lot. We talked about having our guest on for next episode. We've been saying that for a while now, but our schedules can't line up. I think I have to put on my brave pants and go see the new Conjuring movie coming out next week. I'm dreading it. I haven't seen all of them because I'm too scared to, but I might force myself to go to theaters and just just cover my eyes. Honestly, we'll talk about some other stuff. We're going to have some more games and stuff like that next week, so keep an eye out for that, brandon. Good episode everyone. Thank you, stay tuned next week, where we should be saving you.
