Ever wondered why marzipan is shaped like pigs? Or how gifting Kendrick Lamar tickets could spark unexpected teenage joy? Kick off the holiday spirit with us as we share laugh-out-loud moments, from ear fetishes to holiday scheduling mishaps. The festive chaos of gift-giving gets us musing about the joys of spoiling loved ones while indulging in delightful self-care along the way. Join in our culinary escapades, where a prime rib feast awaits, and get ready to reminisce with nostalgic holiday tunes.
Switching from festive feasts to New Year's reflections, we tackle the pressure of resolutions. Are they really necessary, or is there a better approach to personal growth? We discuss the pitfalls of rigid expectations and how gyms thrive on broken January commitments. Instead, we advocate for continuous improvement that starts whenever you're ready, not when the calendar flips. It's all about setting broad goals, like enhancing gratitude or healthier living, without the countdown stress.
Finally, we journey through thrilling sports fandom and critiquing recent movies and TV series. From the Golden Knights' victories to the ups and downs of fantasy football, there's excitement at every turn. We entertain with sharp critiques on Star Wars storytelling and a werewolf narrative that went a little hairy. As the Las Vegas strip gears up for the F1 race, we ponder a pedestrian-only future amidst ongoing construction. It's a rollercoaster of fun, sports banter, and holiday cheer, perfect for anyone looking to laugh and reflect on the season's quirks and charms.

But one of the guys I play softball with, I didn't realize, was an artist and drew me a picture of a stormtrooper with all the like Viking stuff, like Viking colors and stuff like that. Because he was like, because I know you like Star Wars and I know you like the Vikings, and I went, well, that, yeah, yeah, I guess you figured me out, but yeah, it was nice.

Marzipan, Christmas Plans, and Food Fun
Speaker 3That's going to be amazing. I was talking to my boys and they saw me scratching my face all day. I need to get some marzipan. Fuck both of y'all. In Charles Dickens' novella A Christmas Carol, ebenezer Scrooge purchased a grand turkey and gave it to his overworked clerk Cratchit as a gift on Christmas Day. Y'all uneducated swine.

What the hell Like? Seriously, just a slice. It's like a log and they just slice it. I don't see no damn shape, no animals. Y'all making shit up, look it's a pan pig then. Okay, let's do that, and if it's, a link.
Speaker 2Jackson's gonna take you to Pornhub. That's all that's gonna happen. Some guy's fucking a loaf of bread.
Speaker 3See, told you, okay, that pig's in the bag. Well, those pigs are kind of cute.
Speaker 1Actually I ain't eating that, it's too adorable. Then you get the fruits.
Speaker 2They have marzipan fruits too yeah, and ain't, nobody gives a shit about no fruit, okay, yeah okay, this is good.
Speaker 3What the hell does marzipan mean, that definition? Up in pace because I'm like how you have marzipan fruit and marzipan pigs? I mean some fucking bacon. I'm gonna take some bacon, I'm gonna shape. How do you have marzipan fruit and marzipan pigs? I mean some fucking bacon. I'm going to take some bacon and I'm going to shape it.
Speaker 1We have to go to Cost Plus to get it too. So you have to go to the fancy store for it.
Speaker 3A sweet yellowish paste of ground almonds, sugar and egg whites, often colored Racist motherfucker, often colored and used to make small cakes or confections. Or this motherfucker, often colored and used to make small cakes or confections or as an icing for larger cakes. Oh, that's the. I wanted to say that it's that shit you make to make fancy cake designs.
Speaker 1It's not fondant, it's different.
Speaker 3The way they described it.
Speaker 1it was like that no, it tastes way better than fondant.
Speaker 3Hmm, well did you have, so you ate your tasty pigs.
Speaker 1No, we didn't get pigs. I was actually kind of sad about it. You just got a Cinnabon, your loaf that you saw they put that in the bread.
Speaker 2It was pretty good. I like it, but cinnamon buns this year.
Speaker 1Yeah, we had cinnamon rolls, too Hot cocoa.
Speaker 2Spoiled the girls.
Speaker 1Little one got more zombie babies. Saw that Big one got her Kendrick Lamar tickets.
Speaker 3And didn't even react. No, yeah, she did. You see the video.
Speaker 1I watched it back. I'm like no, that is more emotion than I usually get out of her.
Speaker 3I saw that and I was like holy crap, she's not a robot.
Speaker 1Look at that so now she can go back to school With her head held high.
Speaker 2But you gotta take mom and dad. That's the only downside.
Speaker 1Just dad, them tickets was too expensive. Just the two of you then yeah, just me and her. My dad never took me to no rap concert when I was 14.
Speaker 3I did, but it was Chris and Susan were going to the background. The mom was rapping presents out. They were singing 14. I did, but it was Christmas music on the background. The mall was rapping presents out.
Speaker 1They were singing the Christmas rapping song by the waitress. No, but that's too strong, because it is my favorite holiday.
Speaker 3Nope.
Speaker 1Dang.
Speaker 2We'll have to send it to you afterwards.
Speaker 3You know that song? Yeah, I don't hear you singing.
Speaker 2I don't know the words to the song. I know when he said it.
Speaker 1Duke's like yeah, I know this jam, I got it AZ lyrics, buddy.
Speaker 2Right, sorry, hang on. Let me open up another tab that I need to have open during the podcast, in case song lyrics fucking come up. And I got to be like oh shit, jack's gonna sing. I better type in the song Be prepared, duke.
Speaker 3Always ready. I had a browser open, ready to type in Marzipan. What the hell.
Speaker 1I didn't need a browser because I know everything.
Speaker 3Damn.
Speaker 1I'm like a leader up in this bitch.
Speaker 3What Roosevelt shirt are you?
Speaker 1wearing Alligator Loki. Oh, alligator Loki, yeah, alligator Loki, it's even got Throg somewhere. I can't point to my nipple.
Speaker 3Yeah, there it is, we know where your nipples are.
Speaker 1Yeah, we do.
Speaker 2It's a little cold out here in the casino. There's a really good steakhouse in town. They do the half of a prime rib for Christmas. It's for six people, do it's for six people? So it's like a half prime rib, a bunch of mashed potatoes, all the fixings and stuff like that. It's 250 bucks. But I was like there's no way I'm eating a whole half a prime rib by myself, or else I totally would have bought it next year. I gotta, next year, I gotta get some people together, a few people who aren't doing anything, so we can get it and I can give a, send a report back like what's a half a prime rib?
Speaker 3like?
Speaker 1right. Different sizes. What's the other half?
Speaker 2of the rib. I don't. Well, I think they just cut it in half. It's like a whole, like it's a whole. The prime rib is like the whole piece, and then they cut enough for like six people and then you cut that down from there. I think again, I don't know, I'll have to buy it. I just got the email promotion and I was like that sounds really good. Then I asked a couple people and they're like not this year.
Speaker 3How much notice did you give them?
Speaker 2Like a week.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's not.
Speaker 2I didn't get the email until the week before, so I didn't know it existed until I got that email.
Speaker 3That's bad on them. Yeah, that's bad on them. That's bad on them. They only give you a week, right? Excuse me, I assume it was also sides, or the sides separate.
Speaker 2Yeah, it was like mashed potatoes. Green beans got you a basket of rolls.
Speaker 3A basket. A singular basket, no refills.
Speaker 1What the fuck do you bring?
Speaker 2at home. Yeah, you bring it at home. Was it a to get new refills? What the fuck are you bringing home?
Speaker 3Hey, you bring it home. It was a take-home thing. I thought you showed up at the restaurant.
Speaker 2You showed up at the restaurant.
Speaker 1Did you try your potatoes all rotten?
Speaker 3Nope, ended up doing baked potatoes with steak and veggies instead with crescent rolls Could replace it.
Speaker 1He didn't expand his culinary plate.
Speaker 3No, not at all. I'm not even going to lie, I'm not going to say I didn't look for it. That was the original plan. Went there to go get it and then saw these baked potatoes at Sam's and was like, huh, there's four of these already put together with all the fixings and everything. Just throw them in the oven for 45 minutes. I'm like hey, how about this? She's like ooh, I was thinking that too Pivot. So we went right to the baked potato instead.
Speaker 3And then we pivoted the meat to like chuck roast instead of the steak. Yeah, it was chuck roast not steak, it was the chuck roast because we both prefer it. So, yeah, ended up doing that. And then pumpkin pie for dessert. That's what it does, doing that, and then pumpkin pie for dessert. That's one does. It was either that 11 meringue, but we're at sam's and and that's too. Then they're just too much. Man, I'd have to like take that shit to work, like, okay, y'all scavengers come tear this up. Those pies are huge. Man, can I get at least at least a grocery store? You can get a half pie.
Speaker 2I was like, oh alright, that's cool, you can even get the slice if you want, if there's only a couple of you.
Speaker 3You can just do that. I'm fine with a half pie because they're smaller pies. They're an 8-inch, 9-inch pie, fucking Sam's. That thing is 12, 13, 14,. Whatever size that thing is, it's huge.
Speaker 2You can put that shit on your car and drive it home. Yeah, you have to strap it to the roof.
New Year's Resolutions and Reflection
Speaker 3See, that thing's big enough to be the car Hell. It's ridiculous Driving my pie home. So, yeah, nice and simple.
Speaker 1Well, what's New Year's coming up? Do you guys do New Year's resolutions at all?
Speaker 3No, I haven't been doing that in a long time. After I realized that I don't follow any of them. What's the point as you get older, if I want to do something, I'll just do it. Cold turkey, I'll just like. I feel like doing this, I'll do it. Starting now, I'm going to act a until january 1st and all of a sudden I'm gonna be a good boy.
Speaker 2I can agree with that I mean, I think I I probably spend more time doing reflection and thinking about stuff that I can improve on, like I mean, we've been talking, we've spent a lot of time on the podcast talking about being uh, being grateful and that type of thing. So those types of things like what are things that I can do next year?
Speaker 2that you know, that maybe I didn't do enough. Looking back, you go okay, like what could I've done more of? Not necessarily like holding myself to like, oh, I'm gonna do this 20 more, right, or I'm gonna do this twice a week instead of once a week, but more of what am I gonna do to try to put more? Where am I I going to put my efforts Right?
Speaker 1I can agree with that. So cause I think that calling it, labeling it, a new year's resolution will kind of stress you out Right Like, ah, I'm a fucking failure. I missed the gym this week. I was supposed to go every week.
Speaker 3Yeah, I saw that commercial like failure Friday, the second Friday of January, whatever it is. I was like okay, and then a lot of people do that shit. They just give up completely. Oh, I had a bad day. Nope, it's over, I'm done.
Speaker 1Yep, try again next year.
Speaker 2Yep, I've read a couple articles talking about how much money gyms and shit make off of the January people joining in January and then they don't bother canceling until July. Right, like yeah. Again, I mean it's one of those things like when you subscribe to something and they just never use it. They don't care, they're still collecting their money.
Speaker 3Yeah, and that's, and that's why you got to get that experience app or whatever it is, to help cancel all the shit you're not using.
Speaker 2I don't know, rocket money.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's one of them A lot of them do that. It's like I don't know. I guess if you have a lot I don't know, I keep track of my shit pretty easily. I don't know why people are like oh, I didn't know I had this, how do you not know able?
Speaker 2to keep track of it either through a spreadsheet or mentally in your head, or whatever. That's when you've got to start going. Okay, now I need to start looking at where all my money's going. It's you know, yeah, every time you go to the bar. Well, that's free Lou.
Speaker 3And not if you're subscribing to a website.
Speaker 2Wait, you're doing it wrong, buddy.
Speaker 3Am I.
Speaker 2Yeah, you don't got to pay for that shit.
Speaker 3Okay, good to know, good to know.
Speaker 2I'll give you some pointers, pointers, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3He's going to be very blunt with his pointers.
Speaker 2Yeah, exactly, I'm going to lay it on heavy.
Speaker 3Yeah, but you can't help that. That's just genetics. Lay it on heavy, big is big. What are you going to do? I'll have a resolution to lift weights anyway. There it is my chin. You going to do I know, hey, I'll have a resolution to lift weights anyway.
Speaker 2There it is. My chin is going to be so strong by the end of the year.
Speaker 3My jaw you have such a Henry Cavill jaw all of a sudden.
Speaker 2Yeah, exactly, are you going to be the next?
Speaker 1Wolverine, did you get your cheeks done? Did you get some plastic surgery? Nope, working out Just New Year's resolution.
Speaker 3Exactly. I just didn't give up on Failure Friday, that's all.
Speaker 2Start over Saturday is what I call it Now it's.
Speaker 1Fallatio Friday. Yeah but yeah no but as far as that goes.
Speaker 2How about you jack? Are you a? Are you a?
Speaker 1resolution guy. No, no, I think I agree with lou like, why wait until the beginning of the year to be better? Just be better, just little things here and there? Is it a good idea to like, maybe make broad goals? You know, like it'd be cool if I worked out more, you know, if I started a new tradition, a new habit. That'd be cool. But to put like a new year's- resolution positive habit.
Speaker 2Yes, let's, let's start a new, let's start a new habit.
Speaker 3Yep, cocaine yeah, man plate the cookies during a podcast. That's a new habit.
Speaker 1Yeah, it is. Hey, I don't have to start exercising until two days from now. Yeah, fuck that.
Speaker 3He's like I don't know what day it is. It's two days from now, though, yeah.
Speaker 1Whatever, I want to exercise next year, right, but no, just like as a person, just make yourself better all the time. You should always try to improve yourself as a person, but you know an overall goal, like we were talking about the Gratitude Project earlier in the show so many episodes ago. But just to be better at something whether it's losing weight or being nicer, saying nicer things to people you can start that shit anytime and just putting a name on it a New Year's resolution name on it, I think sets you up for failure, because then you're like well, I sucked at that, I messed it up once, I guess.
Speaker 3And there are a lot of people who have that mentality. They screwed up once and they're like, oh, I'm over it.
Speaker 1Yeah, I done fucked up Instead of you know what Cool I stumbled. Let's keep going at it, you know, but I also understand.
Speaker 2I also understand why people would use that as like a jumping off point, right, yeah, yeah, no, for sure. Because new year's, like new year's after, that kind of the the time frame before like the next holiday and that type of thing. Like you have a little bit of a runway where, right now, everybody's kind of gluttonous and you know in their own way right, whether it's eating a lot, drinking a lot, doing a lot of traveling, like all of those types of things. Yeah, well, that's 365, like it's not, like it's not like you're jerking off more because it's the holidays you know we're inside more I mean they're dressed up like sexy Santas.
Speaker 3Is this season to be jolly?
Speaker 1Let it Exactly, let it now what. But no, I see what your point too, you know. Hey, now I have a starting point. Yeah, but you also have to take it as that is a starting point. It's not a an all or nothing thing. Yeah, so yeah, but you also have to take it as that is a starting point. It's not a an all or nothing thing. Yeah, so yeah. Yeah, people don't have to work out.
Speaker 2Your goal is to work out more Like. You need to give yourself the grace.
Speaker 1Right, I'm working out zero now. I'm doing it once a week now, so that's more than you did last year, your so?
Speaker 2that's more than you did last year.
Speaker 1Your left arm looks like you've been working out a lot, my friend Exactly.

Speaker 1That did happen.
Speaker 3True story. Okay, so my brother and I were visiting my dad's side of the family in California and we were going out someplace. It was probably like seriously, we were probably 13, 14, something like that and we're visiting and grandma was out of lotion and actually got some butter and put it on my brother but I was smelling like a freaking loaf of bread. It was like I was like, wow, that actually happened.
Speaker 2But yeah, that was a joke Brother out there smelling like Lando, Out there smelling like Lando Leakes and shit right.
Speaker 3Oh man 35 years later and I still remember. I'm never going to forget that one.
Speaker 2You ordered some mashed potatoes at dinner and you're just like rubbing his arm. You're like, okay, I need some butter for my mashed potatoes. Take a piece of that, taking the butter knife, and just like.
Speaker 3Man, does this smell like food all day? It's like what the hell man, Only happened the one day we got restocked. By the time we got home we were out playing at the park, wherever we were.
Speaker 1You know how Lou's scared of milk, his brother's the same way about butter.
Speaker 3From now on, it's like what did I tell you? About that. That'll be margarine. Good old dairy boys, put that stick away, get the country crop. That shit ain't real man we need or at least me. I name drop a lot. We need to get paid. What the hell? Land O'Lakes All in the same five minutes, what the?
Speaker 2hell.
Speaker 3Crisco Roosevelt, crisco.
Speaker 2One time We'll get there someday. 5,000 views, right, isn't it? 5,000 views, something like that.
Speaker 3Where are you at? Mama Susan, but I forgot she died Wow.
Speaker 2Oh my god, alright, boys you guys doing anything for New Year's?
Speaker 3Doing anything tomorrow oh yeah, I already said mine Movie hanging out with my co-workers.
Speaker 1Thankfully I don't have to work late, though Seniority pays off. Oh I thought that was required for all y'all no. No, we have to work Like nobody gets like vacation or anything but no T, I don't work my regular shit.
Speaker 3No, that's a good problem, man, until they call y'all ass back.
Speaker 2When does it start, like on New Year's Eve? When do things start getting busy as far as, like, the calls?
Speaker 1and stuff when people start getting off of work.
Speaker 3You know, like five-ish.
Speaker 1Okay there we go, and then when the strip starts to close down, I think they start closing it down at like. That's earlier in the day, though right Six or something.
Speaker 3Yeah, I was going to say that's like six when that happens. So about the same time man Between 5 and 6, when people get off work and they close the strip Because they close.
Speaker 2It all right, so you can go walk.
Speaker 3Not all of it. Sahara to Trop yeah, that's what it used to be anyway, it might be longer now.
Speaker 1I was going to say it might be.
Speaker 3I would guess further south now they keep Sahara, but they'd extend that down to Hacienda.
Speaker 1Well, they have. I think they're having issues with TROP this year because they imploded the TROP, so I think they're actually moving it. So it might be like the north side of TROP up to Sahara, or, yeah, it might go up to Sahara still To the Strat.
Speaker 3Remember the one year I went on the strip? That's what it was, and it seemed like every year I look it's the same damn thing, yeah yeah. It's pretty standard.
Speaker 1Drop to Sahara. It's crazy that they have 2004,.
Speaker 3I think is when I did it.
Speaker 1There's a Golden Knights game tomorrow too. Ew, gross, but I think it's at noon or something. Okay, you have time to get out of there if you want Exactly, but also if you want to stay. I mean, at least you're already down there. Yeah, hopefully you get. Hopefully you pay for parking before it goes up to like $80. I think Fashion Joe's charging like $80 to park there. Good lord At the mall.
Speaker 3You can just I'll just parachute in, fuck that.
Speaker 2And I guess I'll ask both of you, because Jack, you lived in there and Lou, you live in there before A few of the. So there are a few touring touristy Vegas type videos that filter through my YouTube channel or my YouTube recommendations, and there has been, I guess, because of the F1 race stuff. I guess the conversation about closing basically closing the strip to all traffic and just making it all walking has been a more and more frequently talked about topic, where before, besides New Year's, that just was not something that happened. Is that something that, Jack? Have you heard anything else about that as far?
Speaker 1as no, I don't think that'd be a good idea. Turn it into another Fremont? I don't think so. I say leave it open Because it's fun to drive down the Strat.
Speaker 2Well, and everything's still so far apart, anyways.
Speaker 3Like that's the thing that's me. That's a long walk, it doesn't look long.
Speaker 1but if you're like, yeah, let's walk down to the Strat from the fricking MGM, yeah, you're going to be hurt.
Speaker 3You know, the flip side of that is like downtown Denver, they have a free bus. It just goes up and down the main 16th Street is what it is. And if they did something like that for the strip to help with that almost like what the San Francisco trolleys I know you pay for that, I believe, but this make it free where almost like the tram just goes up and down the middle, obviously you have several of them, they just need to cover the people. So if you want to move around up and down the strip, that would help with that. If they wanted to block it off, oh, you could park at an end or on the sides, whatever. Let's say you could still park on the back streets to get to wherever you want a casino, and then from there. I mean that would be okay. But I'm with Jack, I kind of like the whole driving up and down the strip thing.
Speaker 1Not that I do, that's a tourist thing.
Speaker 3Unless somebody's visiting. You know how it is. It's like oh, this casino was built four years ago. I've never seen it. Oh, what Somebody's visiting. Great, let's go check it out.
Speaker 2Pretty much Going to be doing that a lot in the next couple years. Baseball stadium.
Speaker 1That'll probably probably the next thing to go check out Hard Rock, not until they have.
Speaker 3Star Wars or Funko Pop oh, I forgot about that. Hard Rock, yeah the baseball. Oh man Going to that stadium in the middle of frickin' summer, yeah, that sounds great, right. Yeah. How they didn't build a dome. I have no idea.
Speaker 1It's like a half a dome-ish. It is enclosed.
Speaker 3The sun's going to be here, so let's put the shade here or just have all damn night games. But even then it's still hot.
Speaker 1Yeah, but having the sun is a lot better.
Sports Talk and Fantasy Football Recap
Speaker 3Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't imagine too many day games that are going to be happening in Vegas, no Plus, I mean, obviously it helps TV as well because it's West Coast so you can get a late game still for people to watch. I just like hey, you want to come to this game? It's July at two o'clock in the afternoon. I'm good, thank you.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, no, I do not. Can we go to a bar that has air conditioning and watch it there, right?
Speaker 3That's like I don't understand. Like you get some diehard fuckers out, that's true, and there are some, so more power to them, man.
Speaker 1Speaking of Star Wars 9, I went to the minor league hockey game.
Speaker 3Saturday.
Speaker 1That was fun.
Speaker 3I think I was confused. Was that different? Was there something going on for the Golden Knights game as well? The next day Okay.
Speaker 2Did they have a giveaway or whatever?
Speaker 1No, they had Star Wars jerseys. They did give away lightsabers, lightsabers.
Speaker 3Mm-hmm, I called that.
Speaker 2Yeah, light sword, laser swords.
Speaker 1Yeah, Light up swords. But they did a whole introduction. They spoofed Star Wars. The Silver Knight was locked up. They had this dude, the Town Crier, who was dressed up as a stormtrooper and they had lucky. The mascot horse was Chewbacca and stuff. So they recreated the Death Star, Prison escape and stuff. It was cool. And, yes, I bought a jersey. Yes, it was a lot of money.
Speaker 2But it's Star Wars and they probably were. I'm guessing they were probably raffling off the players'seys afterwards for charity auctioning yeah, they auction them off.
Speaker 1Yeah, and I would have got one. One of them dudes was number 77. I'm like that'd be a badass one to get and as a star, you, and everybody else there. Right, it was better than last year's, though, because last year's they ran out of food. They ran out of a lot of stuff. I don't think they were expecting Star Wars people to be Star Wars people, but it seems to be a lot smoother run this time.
Speaker 3That's a fail, fire somebody, and then we did go to the Golden Knights last night 3-0 victory.
Speaker 1Yeah, shut out.
Speaker 3Screw off Calgary.
Speaker 1So yeah. That's always a fun time, especially because they're the ones we beat for the Cup a couple years ago. So they were a little scrappy.
Speaker 3They went down in flame.
Speaker 1Yeah, they burned out quick Sports, a couple of fights.
Speaker 3How's your fantasy football ended up?
Speaker 1Oh shit, I didn't even check. I know it said that I was going to win, so I stopped paying attention. After a little bit you were paying attention.
Speaker 3I ended up in five semifinals, and of those five I lost three. So two finals and three third-place matches.
Speaker 1Won all three third-place matches. Holy shit, she kicked your ass, lou Dude. I lost by like 60.
Speaker 3Yeah, you did. And then I got second in the other two.
Speaker 1So yeah, you did. And then I got second in the other team, so I got two seconds and three thirds this year. Holy crap. Like she wasn't even nice to you 142 to 81.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's 60. That's what I said About 60. My team did not show up at all, At all. I think that's the lowest score I got all year too. I think so too, and it happened. Got all year too. I think so too, and it happened in the finals. Luckily it wasn't for money.
Speaker 1Right, I won 128 to 102. That's a beatdown too.
Speaker 3Duke lost to a person that wasn't even playing.
Speaker 2I wasn't even playing either, though, right.
Speaker 1When you get to this point someone that's on ir and out dell on houston and edwards on the chargers gus edwards.
Speaker 3yeah, other ones were crazy like like I lost. I lost big that finals both my finals got my ass kicked. The other one I lost like 185 to 250. Dang Dude had three dudes in the 40s and like two other dudes in the 30s it was his team. He had Joe Burrow and T Higgins, so it was like 40 points apiece, malik Neighbors 40. And then he got tonight. He got like 27 from Jameer Gibbs from Detroit. Yeah, it was just like get the F out of it. I got blown out.
Speaker 1Did Detroit win?
Speaker 3They were winning last time on championship. Yeah, they won by a touchdown.
Speaker 1Yeah, they did.
Speaker 3Was it 40 to 35? 34.
Speaker 134?
Speaker 334? Okay.
Speaker 1An exact touchdown.
Speaker 3He missed the extra point. That kicker missed an extra point in two field goals. Let's see, that's seven points they lost. By how much Uh-huh.
Speaker 1Looks like Vikings and Lions is a game to watch next week, though.
Speaker 3Next Sunday night. Yeah, that's the one Winner take all. It's crazy. Winner gets the one seed, loser gets the five seed.
Speaker 1It's a hell of a drop off.
Speaker 3You're going to be 14-3 and the 5 seed. You've got to play two straight road games. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 2My friend is a Packers fan. He came over to watch the game yesterday and we were just talking about how wild it is, how You're in the NFC North, where you could literally be in half of the other divisions and you would have locked up first place in the division you would have like you know, one of the division a month ago, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2Buffalo did. Yeah, like it's crazy, like if we would have been, if the Vikings or even the Packers would have been in the NFC West, like they would have locked things up, you know, playoff position, contending for having a bunch of tiebreakers and stuff like that for winning the division and stuff, and instead it's going to be like you're going to be playing a 9-7 team or whatever.
Speaker 3Yeah, on the road, you're going to be playing at the Tampa Bay 10-16.
Speaker 2Yeah, or the Rams oh yeah, yeah, rams 10.
Speaker 3and 16.
Speaker 1At least on paper. It gives you an easy game.
Speaker 2But that's why they play them. Yeah, but this week's slate of games fucking sucked.
Speaker 3The good ones were all on fucking Christmas break Saturday and all that. The good ones were all on fucking Christmas break Saturday and all that. The ones that mattered. Sunday was just like okay, the Sunday night game wasn't bad, though Atlanta-Washington turned out to be a good game. I mean mainly because it was bad football, but it turned out to be a good game. I mean two bad teams, two good teams. I'm fine with either, just don't give me a good versus a bad.
Speaker 1That's boring. Two bad teams other than the bad football.
Speaker 3it's at least close. It starts off Saturday. Nfc or AFC North will be settled on Saturday. What I don't get is why would they play the Ravens game first? Because once that game's over, pittsburgh knows that they can't win the division. I'm assuming the Ravens are going to beat the Browns, so it's like, okay, pittsburgh. At that point they're fighting for five and six because they can't be the seventh seed anymore, so all they can do is be the five or sixth seed depends on the Chargers.
Speaker 1Raiders game on Sunday is the 1,000th Raiders home game ever.
Speaker 2I assume you guys are going to go to that game, oh yeah, there's got to be some kind of gift right Something right Something on them seats, probably some towels or something. Who are the Raiders playing on?
Speaker 1Sunday Chargers. They're probably not going to win, but I don't know it came out okay.
Speaker 3I mean they screwed up their draft position like the Giants did, but whatever that's frustrating. I mean they screwed up their draft position like the Giants did, but whatever that's frustrating, I mean I get it.
Speaker 2Somebody seems fucking over their playoff position, just to get a win right.
Speaker 3Draft position yeah, yeah, for sure. It's like man, I'm telling you, if I'm a GM, there is no way. I'm like you need to start the third stringers. I don't even want the first stringers dressed up, just in case somebody gets hurt.
Speaker 3Put in the second stringers. You do not go. I treat it like the preseason. Let's see who we're keeping for next year. That's how I would sell it. Everybody would know you'd be tanking, but that's what I'm saying. The Raiders played a decent game. Granted, they played a shitty team. I mean, they played a shitty team. They had no business. Raiders had no business winning that game, but they did. There's still hope that they can beat the Chargers and help the Steelers out. I just don't have the confidence that the Steelers are going to beat Cincinnati straight up. I know they did a month ago. They won 44-38. High scoring. But Pittsburgh defense has fallen off. Russ has fallen off. It's just whatever. They're already in the playoffs, great. Go lose your first game so I can stop worrying about you. Don't give me hope they win a game and I'm like, oh, maybe they have a chance. Nah, just cut that shit off. If you're not going to win the Super Bowl, lose the first round to have a better draft pick.
Speaker 1Simple as that. Losing all that, losing all or nothing yeah, honestly, when it comes to no games that that's how I want you.
Speaker 3I want you 17 and 0 or 17. Don't, don't give me that crap. In between, it's like oh, we're gonna hang around mediocrity and pick 18th every year like you're. All that means you're gonna keep getting mediocre players. Great, they don't have a quarterback worth a damn because they've been drafting in the middle the whole time. It's like like, man, I would love to have Jaden Daniels. Even Drake Bay is pretty good. Michael Penix looks like he can play. I don't know, man, whatever it's like, what are you supposed to do? So it's like all right, live in mediocrity.
Speaker 1Yep, at least the.
Speaker 3Giants had a chance to reset, like they did with Eli Manning in 2004. Had a chance. Here we are, 20 years later. Had a chance and no, they got to go out and win. Although kind of blame the Colts, how do you lose to the Giants? Man You're fighting. This was a playoff game for you. You needed to win this game to keep your playoff chances aligned and you're going to lose to the three. Win now, three win. It's a time to win. Giants. Get out of me, damn Giants, players with pride and all that crap. Get on my nerves.
Speaker 3You feel that that's pride fucking with you Right, for real. How am I supposed to be a fan of you with all that pride?
Speaker 1Dude can't say nothing.
Speaker 2He's over there winning finally, I know right, hey, one game at a time, man One or no, that's the whole thing.
Speaker 3And he's winning with a backup. He's winning with the backup. He's winning with the backup quarterback. It's not even supposed to be his quarterback yep, that's crazy time to trade jj mccarthy I don't think they'll trade him.
Speaker 2I honestly don't think they'll trade him.
Speaker 3So well, you're gonna get rid of darnold. Can't pay him, no, no no, they're gonna franchise darnold.
Speaker 2They're gonna franchise darnold and they'll keep him unless somebody's 60 million I, unless somebody. I think they said 43 is what the quarterback franchise tag is going to be. But the things that I've heard are basically they're going to franchise tag him and if a team pulls up with the fucking draft pick Brink's truck, then they'll be willing to tag.
Speaker 2and you know, tag and trade him, but otherwise, especially if they tag and trade him, yeah, but otherwise, especially if they I mean if they win, if they, if they even make it to the super bowl I mean that's a given that they're going to give darnold more money or they're going to keep darnold around for at least one more year, because now he's here maybe they have everybody else, that there's four or five guys that they're going to have to try to figure out as far as financials go. But all the guys that they signed in this past offseason which I mean in my opinion and the few people that I read and stuff their opinion like this is like the best free agent class that the Vikings have had ever, and probably I mean there are some people saying it's the best free agent class that happened in the past year in the NFL period, because again, the Vikings were supposed to win six and a half games. Their over-under for wins was six and a half games and they were supposed to be the bottom.
Speaker 3With McCarthy or with Darnold.
Sports Talk and Playoff Predictions
Speaker 2Period With Darnold. With Darnold, this was like everybody's preseason prediction. The most optimistic people were saying six and a half wins was their over-under.
Speaker 3Yeah, but in preseason it was supposed to be McCarthy. It wasn't until the week before the season started that they IR'd him. Like all right, that's fine, but I am looking forward to next weekend. So you know, finish up these last spots of who's where I'm sad there's no more fantasy football other than DFS. If I want to do daily, then okay, great, It'll be fantasy sports. For those not knowing what DFS is, so I might jump in some DFS, because it'll happen through the playoffs as well. It'll be kind of cool. And then six months of nothing. I don't give a shit enough about basketball Hockey. I guess I'll pay attention to.
Speaker 1Yep Hockey and soccer.
Speaker 3Yep and soccer ends in May. Well, the soccer I watch, because I watch the Premier League in England, Although Chelsea's falling apart. They were in second place for a while. They've lost points three games in a row. It's like, oh, assholes.
Speaker 1It's all right. The Golden Knights are number one in the league, we one in the league. We're doing good there.
Speaker 3Are they really? I knew they were number one in the West. I didn't know they were number one in the league. Alright.
Speaker 2Congratulations.
Speaker 3I guess we'll stick around with that, dave. But the problem is Colorado keeps winning. I'm not a Colorado hater, the Avalanche as much as I am the other teams, but they're in the West too, so F them. So it's like look.
Speaker 1Colorado, you can. So it's like look, look, look, Colorado, you can do good until you play Vegas.
Speaker 3How about? That let's draw the line there, other than I gotta hear the radio Talk about him the whole time.
Speaker 1These last couple weeks have been great.
Speaker 3That's what I'm saying. These last couple weeks have been great Two losses. If I listen to the radio, listen to all the hate, it's so funny listening to these jackasses. It's like, oh, we're 9-5. We have three games to win one. It's like, oh no, we lost this one this week. We have two games to win one, and then they lost this week. It's like, okay, now it's down to this final game. It's like what happened?
Speaker 2to you. We have one game to win, one.
Speaker 3Yeah, they're all so positive and all of a sudden they're like fucking, fucking, just sucking on their fingers, just nervous as hell. I'm like man, please collapse. You had one game to win over three weeks and y'all fuckers blew it. Oh, I would love to just throw that in. Or, if they do make it, go get their ass handed to them 40 to nothing to Buffalo, because if they make it, that's who they're playing Buffalo in Orchard.
Speaker 1Park. That would be fun, though they make it to the playoffs and lose first round. First round exits are embarrassing, more embarrassing than not making it.
Speaker 3Only if they get blown out, because, to be fair, they are the seventh seed playing the two. They're not supposed to win that game, but everybody's supposed to be. Hey, you're professionals, you made the playoffs, you should be close. And then to get your ass handed to you, like when the Chargers got their ass beat in the Super Bowl when they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in 95. Oh my God.
Speaker 2Luckily I don't hold a grudge, but Well, and the other part of that too is, especially if you get housed, you know in their house and you're out of playoffs. That's the last thing that people are going to remember for the next six months.
Speaker 3Yeah, and then you as a player, have a long flight home. Yeah, even better if they get snowed in. It's a crazy game. They get snowed in, they can't even leave. They're stuck there. Fans just pointing at them and laughing at their faces.
Speaker 2Fans just pointing at him and laughing at their faces. Lou flies into Buffalo just to point and laugh at him.
Speaker 3I would too, man, not that I'll count on Southwest to help me out. Hey, we're going to make your flight $500 instead of $700. Screw y'all. But yeah, you know, had the Broncos overachieved this year, absolutely Good job, but they're still not a good team. I don't care, they got lucky. Good job, but they're still not a good team. I don't care, they got lucky.
Speaker 3They have one win against a team with a winning record. That is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who got caught in the trap games. They just beat Detroit and was about to play Buffalo the following week, or some crap like that, and four of their starters were out that game. So that's the one win the Broncos have over a team with a winning record. So it's like, oh, the Broncos are great, they're 9-0. It's like, yeah, they got lucky and got eight wins against some sorry-ass teams, so don't even give me that. But again, that's Bronco fan. For you, please either make the playoffs and get destroyed or just get embarrassed and not even just choke this final game. But again, for that to happen, I need Miami or Cincinnati to win this week also, and if I were to put money on it, the Broncos are a 10-point favorite in this game because the Chiefs aren't starting anybody. So I looked it up and it was like 9.5 points. I was like man Chiefs, I get it, you earned it, but you're just going to gift your rival a playoff spot.
Speaker 2I am a bigger fan of starting your starters, but then, once the game's out of hand, then benching them immediately.
Speaker 3Yeah, but what if the game doesn't get out of hand? What if it's a close game the whole time? Then you're risking the Chiefs players getting hurt. Patrick Mahomes is already coming off a bum ankle. Kelsey's 35 years old Hollywood Brown is the only one who should play because he's missed the first 15 games of the year. So let him play so he can get some reps. But everybody else I can't be mad at that. It's good business, Except for, like I said, now you're two weeks stagnant. So are you going to be rusty when you come back, even though it's a home game in two weeks? Are you going to be rusty?
Speaker 1So that's a gamble. The refs will work it out for him. It's fine. Yeah, that is true. Whoa, whoa, you looked in the homes. 10-yard penalty.
Speaker 3Touching the white girl.
Kidnap and Chaos
Speaker 2God she sucks so much man, that's funny. But yeah, I guess we'll see.
Speaker 3Yeah, it'll be fun. All right Enough sports ball. Skeleton crew sucked.
Speaker 2We're an hour and 10 minutes in and Lou's like I guess we can stop talking about sports now.
Speaker 3I looked at the clock, that was like a 23-minute conversation on sports ball. I was like Jack's got some editing to do, right, okay, so skeleton crew sucked again. Why, it was a little bit better.
Speaker 2Is that fanlu? And?
Speaker 3no, he's only watched it once. Nope, only one. Yeah, I was gonna say only only watched it at once. I think I think fanlu would actually like the episode. Tell you the truth, thinking again, having not watched it, but thinking about it, I'm like it wasn't horrible. However, so much dumb shit. I think this episode's problem, for me anyway, was the similarity to Obi-Wan episode when they snuck out on the hangar with Leia underneath his coat. It was just some. That was just some dumb shit. And Obi-Wan In this one, we're going to have these kids pretend like you can't tell you're going to get better prosthetics, better makeup, better something.
Speaker 3These people are just supposed to believe. These kids belong, are elders, on this fucking sex planet. Get out of here with the oh, I'm sorry pleasure planet. It wasn't necessarily sex, just a pleasure planet. So you got that. And then they get to the hotel room and act a fool. I mean, they all know what's at risk. They all know what's at risk. They all know what's going on. This isn't like we're brand new into this trick. They know they're at risk and they act a fool in the hotel room, making all types of noise, not listening After. They were just panicky before that of what was going on. It was like what? Oh, okay, we're just going to play this out. And then they skip around. Okay, how did they get out of this scenario? How did they get out of this scenario? They just happened to get out of the scenario and they just show up. Oh, next scene, cut, next scene. Okay, sure, great. And where did the acid go? Acid disappeared, it just automatically came back and filled in the area.
Speaker 1It obviously goes to different holding chambers, so that it can fill in yeah.
Speaker 3That's how certain that would work. Is your argument that it would fill in instantly, like that?
Speaker 1Why not?
Speaker 3It drained instantly. No, it took a little bit of time. It took a bit to drain.
Speaker 1But it would also fill from the bottom up, and they were at the bottom, they were at the bottom of the chair.
Speaker 3That means as soon as it starts, you climb up.
Speaker 1So it's easier to get out.
Speaker 2They're freaking out. He's sitting at the door going. Did I do that?
Speaker 3that would have been hilarious. That would have won me over that episode.
Speaker 3It's just one line just give me one line and all of a sudden it's episode. Let me go to imdb quick five stars. But then they're in the, they're in the chamber, so I don't touch anything. Blah, blah, freaking blah. So what do they do? Touch everything? Great, now it might have been just because they had quote unquote turned everything off not that they say that they did turn everything off, they could have. And then it's like oh, don't touch the seal, no, we're gonna fall down. This seat's a trap door. So what do they do at the end? Go down it on purpose, yeah then I'm the evil Jedi dick.
Speaker 3It wasn't a big deal at the end, but it was a big deal five minutes before that.
Speaker 1Right, because they didn't know where it took them, but going down there was better than dealing with the evil Jedi guy.
Speaker 2Who now has a lightsaber?
Speaker 3Yeah, a High Republic lightsaber Right.
Speaker 1Looked like Duke's lightsaber.
Speaker 3Dude.
Speaker 2I was like hey, that looks familiar side note, did you see that uh, disney released, uh, one of the guys from the high republics lightsaber? They've done a couple of them. I saw something on my news feed those saying they were they're releasing another one. It has like a. It almost has like a sif like the, the blades like jack. I think it's similar to the one you made at Disney where the saber comes out the emitter, it has like fins on it. So whichever High Republic guy that is, it looks like they're releasing it. Or girl or girl, yeah.
Speaker 3So overall, it was just like okay, kids did stupid shit. Again you would think they would know better. Or girl that we couldn't see. Obviously, they didn't show us who he was for a reason. So I'm curious how that's going to play out. I'm like, alright, that's cool. I wonder what's going to happen here. But overall, again, it was just like, okay, more dumb shit that these kids did, and nobody seems to care that they're doing dumb shit. It's like, oh yay, I'm watching Obi-Wan all over again. More dumb shit.
Speaker 3Although I would argue, obi-wan was more dumb.
Speaker 1I think I figured out your problem, mu. You were judging these children as an adult. When I watch the show, I watch it based on their perspective. They are children. I've never been a 10-year-old that was kidnapped by a ship and put into pirate places, so I don't know how I would act as a 10-year-old that was kidnapped from my planet. As an adult, you are 100% correct. If these were adults acting like that, I got you, but they're kids, so you have to look at it through their perspective. The story's being told from their point of view. Are they doing dumb shit? Yeah, but they're also kids. When you were 10, you weren't kidnapped from your home planet by some 100-year-old ship with a robot with a rat fur brain. So you don't know what you would do in that situation because you have not been in that situation. But you're a 50-year-old dude judging these kids for being kids in a situation you haven't been in.
Speaker 3Get off my ship. Yeah, because I know how I was when I was a kid and that shit would have lasted for about one or two episodes. And then you grow up real the fuck fast. And these kids are not maturing. There's what I'm saying. They're in this situation this night. Okay, we need to hey, we don't under. They understand the situation they're in, that. They almost died. Yeah, they understood that shit in the last episode when they were trying to go to battle and all of a sudden they just forgot that part. It's like all the shit we just learned and that we need to quote unquote grow up fast, like any other natural kid would do.
Speaker 1They're not doing it it's like they're going backwards. It's Las Vegas hotel room. Little kids are going to jump on the bed. Whether they just almost died or not, you would jump on that bed if you're in a big-ass Las Vegas hotel room.
Speaker 3My dad would beat my ass.
Speaker 1Your dad's not there. We're talking about a big guy, 50-year-old Lou.
Speaker 3John should have beat their ass Instead of just time out.
Speaker 1He's the fun uncle.
Speaker 3If he beats one of their asses, the other three will straighten up.
Speaker 1All it takes is one, just knock out one, but he's the fun uncle that's not going to do it.
Speaker 3But he's not the fun uncle. That's not what he's there for. He's there to use them.
Speaker 1And that's what he's doing. Why does he care if they're?
Speaker 3acting up.
Speaker 1Because he's going to get him caught?
Speaker 3Yeah, he did. He was the one telling him to calm down Eventually, of course. He cared as soon as he was telling them the plan. They were acting a fool, they weren't listening. He cared as soon as they. It's like yo. I said, shut the fuck up. And then they kept going Boom, go beat one. I guarantee, I'm telling you, they would have been shocked as hell, like, oh, he's serious and they're not.
Speaker 1And it's like man, no discipline you're putting your personal experiences on this. You need to just watch it in the context of the story, not what you would have done, not what tell me. Tell me what scenario.
Speaker 3What? What real person would tolerate what is happening? That would not happen in anybody's real world. That's what I'm saying. It would not happen in anybody's real world. That's what I'm saying. It's like this this right here. If that wait, is this some white people? Shit. Is this what white people do without discipline? They don't. They don't spank their kids and this is what we get this is what happens, okay. This shows for white people Okay.
Speaker 2I can't get 50-year-old Lou hopping out of bed in Vegas and having his dad show up to beat his ass and him going where'd you come from?
Speaker 3I could totally see that shit happen. I'm like oh, my bad.
Speaker 2Oh it says, his shoe just flies out of nowhere.
Speaker 3No, that's mom, that mom showed up. If that happened, or an ashtray, if an ashtray showed up and popped me in the head? Yeah, that totally happened Again in the head.
Critique of Homages in Television
Speaker 3Yeah, that totally happened, but it's just again. It's just, these kids aren't improving. It's like I wanted them to grow a little bit and they're not. What bullshit's going to be next episode? Like, oh, we're in danger, but we're not going to act like it, so who cares, nothing's going to happen to us. We're going to go down and hit this chair and go to this no-place land that we were hiding, trying to hide from or try to escape from, not five minutes ago. But hey, let's go down there on purpose now. Oh, great.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's a getaway from Jah, who's trying to kill you.
Speaker 3Jah wasn't trying to kill him. He was just trying to make them listen. They don't know that.
Speaker 1He's being a big creepy-ass dude, so they ran away.
Speaker 3No, no, if he wouldn't have told the little girl to yield, he would have just killed her. That would have made more sense. I would have been fine with that.
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 3Then the three of the other three.
Speaker 2He had to get the captainmanship correctly, or else Smee wouldn't. He did.
Speaker 3It was he challenged and he told her he's like look, I don't want to hurt you, just yield. And she didn't want to. Dumbass, dumbass, don't know how to use a lightsaber, comes in and tries to save the day, which would be against code, because then he's fighting in a three-way fight and that's not how it works. It should just be those two, the captain and the person. So that's a problem in itself. The robot should have smacked him for trying to cheat, but he didn't kill her. He had every opportunity to like I challenge you.
Speaker 1He had a knife to her throat.
Speaker 3And what'd he say? He didn't say. He said yield. He didn't say let's do this slice. That's not what happened. He's like just yield. He's trying to give her a break and they want to be assholes about it.
Speaker 2Oh, we have a tree. I mean, again, it's the same. It's very similar to the Fratellis and Chunk from the Goonies Like this episode was definitely the most Goonies influenced episode so far, and so I think I think part of the problem is, I mean and we've talked about this in the chat before or during the text messages early is like I think, like when you try to have shows like this that are homages and fan service I'm saying fan service, I'm trying, I can't think of I guess homage would be the best word Homages to the movies from the 80s that we grew up on ET, goonies, home Alone, all of those movies, right man by.
Speaker 3Me yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, the young, teen, kid movies, you know this. I mean that entire episode, the entire last episode of Skeleton Crew was straight Goonies, you know them falling, them doing all the weird stuff, them touching stuff that they shouldn't have done. All that stuff happened in the goonies, right? But the problem is that I think all of that that whole generation of movies now has been, we're all so jaded and cynical now that I don't think those movies could come out and be successful today. But in the 80s, when they came out, it was a different time Again. We were all a different age, et cetera, et cetera. I think, as we've gotten older, a lot of us and I'm the same way Like Lou, I don't disagree with how you were looking at it, but I didn't hate the episode, I didn't dislike the episode.
Speaker 2I still have problems, like you were saying, with the character arcs and that type of thing. Like I want to see. I want to see somebody grow and I don't feel like we're seeing, besides Neil, because he's the best, none of the rest of them have Wait, hang on. None of the rest of them have really evolved at all, none of them have. You know, and again, I'm not expecting them to have a huge like oh, now I'm a grown-up but yeah, like whim and and fern, and you know, again kb, I don't even don't even know what her character arc is. She hasn't really given us one. You know, she's definitely out of the four of them, or the five of them if you want to count jod, like she is definitely the one that's just kind of like oh, we need somebody to be technical, get her to do the thing, technical thing, and then she just goes back to being in the background yeah, she's their droid of the show.
Speaker 2Just to have somebody do 100 like because they didn't want to have I'm guessing, because they didn't want anyone to to. Um, uh, they already had smee, so they don't they didn't need, they need a second one yeah, um, so I kind of feel bad for her and her character because again, we don't know anything about her, right, like I kind of feel that that you know. But yeah, I, I don't disagree with you.
Star Wars Writing Critique
Speaker 3The stuff didn't bother me as much because, again, I was thinking of it in the goonies way when the the show started, and so the stuff didn't bother me near as much as it bothered critic lou, but yeah, it was just, yeah, it was just dumb shit when the pirate showed up and the ships got blown out by the other pirate ship and as they were coming in to try to try to fight the last 10 minutes of the show, nobody, nobody. You didn't have a full-on squad of people waiting to blast them out of the sky themselves as soon as they landed, blast them. It's like they just blew up two ships while coming in without, obviously, permission and y'all just gonna let them just go Like, oh, we're just gonna ignore this, it's fine, no big deal. It's like again, no-transcript going to fill in the pieces for them that's.
Speaker 2That was some scooby-doo shit where they're just running back and forth in the hallway, but it was just like.
Speaker 3It's like, oh my god, this is so bad. Um, and it was just again. It could have been written better. It was just dumb shit. It was the first thing I thought of was Obi-Wan. I was like, oh, we're back to Obi-Wan writing, where this dumb shit happened. Because as soon as the kids came off the damn ship, it was like, oh God, leia's going to be underneath the trench coat again. Here we go. And it just played from there.
Speaker 2I need to go get a trench coat, so Leia will be under my trench coat.
Speaker 1Whoa, no, no, no.
Speaker 2Not that Leia's turn.
Speaker 3She's nine, buddy, she's nine.
Speaker 2Old Leia Wow.
Speaker 3Say old Leia is dead, you fucking necrophiliac. What the hell? I've got a corpse underneath my trench coat. It's like. Alright, to each their own. Okay, Bernie, Know what you're doing this weekend.
Speaker 2So what did you think of it, Jack? I?
Speaker 1liked it. I can watch stuff without being all critical like that, and that's what I was saying earlier. I'm not even going to argue it. I just watch it. I enjoy it. I don't put my own feelings on that shit. Sure, the kids could get yelled at. That's not what Jod's there to do. He doesn't care. So I don't care. As long as it's entertaining, I'm fine. I'm like oh well, if I was in this situation hypothetically.
Speaker 3You didn't think that shit was stupid, that happened. You didn't think any of that shit was dumb and stuff the ship take the end, the pirate ship getting blown up. They're just like, oh hey, land, it's okay the escort trips you mean yeah, yeah. When the escort ships got blew up and they were just like, hey, no big deal, I honestly was, I'm like. When I saw that, I was like, oh damn, they're gonna have a whole arsenal waiting for them when they land. Nope, it was just like oh hey, welcome guys.
Speaker 1Maybe they're just cocky and they're like no, people don't do that shit here and they don't have a bigger security force than those two little escort ships.
Speaker 3Then they should have explained that If that was the case, all it takes. What one line the lady I think it was a lady who was running the thing all it would have taken was like, hey, like something where to just let them do their thing, we their thing, we don't have the support, but they had the support and security to chase them down. They had 50 people chasing the kids.
Speaker 2They got zero people.
Speaker 3Fine, then the ground crew could have all been surrounding the ship.
Speaker 1It could, but see, you're overthinking it. It's Star Wars. You're overthinking Star Wars. How is?
Speaker 3that overthinking, that's just common sense?
Speaker 1No, it's not. It had nothing to do with the story. They just want to get the pirates down there to chase the kids.
Speaker 3Then write it better. That's my point. That's how bad the writing is. Oh, we just don't care. We're just going to put these people here and you're going to consume. This doesn't have to make sense, because we think our audience are idiots and they're just going to accept it and that's all there is to it. It's a good show because we put them there. That's disrespectful to the intelligence of the audience, as long as it's entertaining, I don't care.
Speaker 1Fair enough.
Speaker 3Fair enough. Fair enough, I can't sit there and overthink stuff.
Speaker 1Just sit there and watch. If it is actually horrible, I would say so but I don't think it's actually horrible.
Speaker 2I think we all agreed that the Acolyte writing was not great, agreed.
Speaker 1Yes, that's fine. Acolyte was bad. It was very poorly written. This it's a lot better than Acolyte, just because it's not trying to be smarter than we are. The Acolyte came out acting like they were smarter than the audience. You know we got this murder mystery and all this stuff's going on, and here's a flashback. Oh, this guy's not as bad as you think he is. He's not as good as you think he is. This show is straightforward. They're not trying to trick us. They're not trying to be smarter than we are. It's just. Hey, here are these kids, they're on an adventure.
Speaker 3Go with it it. I think that's part of my problem. I expect better writing right, and I think I only expect better writing because previous writing of the shows acolyte, obi-wan were horrible. So I was like, oh, they'll fix it. They know, with the feedback they got, they know it sucked. They know all this, they're gonna better and it's like.
Speaker 1But you know, there's only like one well-written Star Wars movie, two maybe Empire and Rogue. One.
Speaker 3I was just going to say don't forget Rogue One.
Speaker 1Yeah, there are only two well-written Star Wars movies. The rest of them have the exact same problems that you have with Skeleton Crew.
Speaker 3Yeah, bunch of dumb shit.
Speaker 2Exactly, you guys watch what?
Speaker 3episode. No, I'm waiting for it to finish. Is it finished?
Speaker 2tomorrow. It's done.
Speaker 3Oh, it's today, it finished this morning, yesterday, oh, then I'll probably when I get up tomorrow morning, I'll probably because, I don't start my day in for like one, so I liked it.
Speaker 1I mean, it was kind of cool to see a Moon Knight mech. That was kind of cool. Yeah, they even brought him back, yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah they had a lot of Oscar Isaac's voice. Yeah, yeah, it was him.
Speaker 3Okay, right on, right on.
Speaker 1Yeah yeah, there's a whole Mecha Avengers thing fighting some creepy Hulk variants. It was pretty cool.
Werewolves Movie Review and Critique
Speaker 3Dude, wait, you've only seen one, but Duke have seen one. But duke, have you seen it all? Do they do, without spoiling it too much to do? They at least do, like last time, with episodes like one through seven, culminate in eight, which is all individuals this time um, there's, there is a through line, but it's not driving the episodes.
Speaker 2So the episodes are our stand for the most part are standalone in this season, which, again, I'm fine with. I don't need to have that honestly, I don't, I don't need, yeah, the last, I think it's the last two episodes are together and that's just wrapping up the what if the whole saga, the whole, all three seasons, this is it for what? Yeah, this is it for now.
Speaker 1Right, at least this, this version of it right right so we have marvel zombies is coming out, and then that spider-man cartoon is just a extended. What if?
Speaker 3yeah, that's not okay, that explains more. That's butterman cartoon trailer. Look garbage. Fucking black harry osborn, black norman osborn and harry is trans. Now what it's like. What the hell man? That trailer looked garbage.
Speaker 2Yeah, but it's not canon.
Speaker 1I think I read it it was supposed to be originally, but then they were like meh, that's what I thought too.
Speaker 3Yeah, In that case, that's fine. In that case you can have your trans Harry and black Norman. Okay, fine, Nothing wrong with that?
Speaker 1Did you get mad when they made Nick Fury black?
Speaker 3No, because he was in the comics. No, he wasn't. Yes, he was.
Speaker 2Not in the.
Speaker 3Ultimates yeah, one Nick Fury was, but newer ones, he was a black guy, okay.
Speaker 2The Ultimates.
Speaker 3so no, I'd have been fine either way If they had made him white or black. I'd have been like, okay, well, that's in there in the comics.
Speaker 2But if he was white he had to be David Hasselhoff. That's the problem.
Speaker 3I mean yeah, I mean everybody knows that. Oh man, that would have been cool to see fucking Civil War, not Civil War, winter Soldier, and he called his jeep kit or something, hasselhoff. I mean, legally I'm sure they'd have to come up with something or buy the rights, but just for the end joke would be so much fun.
Speaker 2I'm sure Disney knows it by now, and to hear David Hasselhoff when he's clicking on Captain Marvel's beeper right before he blips going Motherfu-.
Speaker 3David Hasselhoff doing that holy crap Right? That would be great.
Speaker 2Update on trailers our trailer series. I did watch Werewolves yesterday with my friend after the game. Wait, that's out, it's, yeah, it's out, and digital. Don't, don't, no, just don't. Wow, all right, yep, lou, you will watch that and then you will. You know what, lou? Go ahead and watch it, because then you'll go like that's a day of shame, so like, and again, I hashtag spoilers.
Speaker 2I'm gonna just I'm doing this to warn you guys like for an example of like kind of how bad the movie was. So the whole premise of the movie is that at some point in the now time, right like this isn't like something in the future of the past, like it's kind of it's set modern times there is a supermoon and a million people or billion people in the world become werewolves, and then the supermoon passes. All the people go back to being normal. A year goes by. The following year there's another supermoon coming. So they've had a year to kind of prepare for the next, the next trailer said okay so they have so.
Speaker 2So they have these people in cages that are test subjects for this thing that they're trying to see if it will help prevent people from turning into werewolves and lou diamond phillips LaBomba's in it. He's running this government agency that is doing this testing and figuring out what they're doing.
Speaker 3He was a wolf in some TV show.
Speaker 2So he's in the show. He gives one speech. There's no background To anybody. Frank Grillo is Like the person in charge of defense, but then he's also like a molecular biologist, and I'm like well, you know?
Speaker 1no, he's not I guess, frank being that, I got I was like no, he is, no, he is not I'm like, really like that's how you introduce him, okay, so, so.
Speaker 2So then of course, the the people are exposed. The thing that they try doesn't work. They end up all becoming werewolves. And somebody hits the wrong button and it swings the thing around and blows up the breaker and of course, then all the doors unlock and the people come out and are werewolves.
Speaker 3Now this is before the moon has happened no, the moon did happen, so the people became werewolves.
Speaker 2they're the people, the people in the test subjects have become werewolves and they're killing everybody. Lou Diamond Phillips is in this, like you know, the lab above the lab, right the observation area. He runs down and puts on this you know bunny suit that the rest of the people are wearing and goes into the lab. The lab which again don't understand when you're like the, the leader of this group gets gets cut and knocked over, faces the moon. They don't ever really explain if it's like a walking dead situation where everybody is infected. But you can only become a werewolf if you look up and see the moon. As long as I'm looking at you guys, and we could be out in the moon, we could, could be under the moonlight and it's fine as long as we're not looking at the moon. So at some point Lou Diamond Phillips, within the first 20 minutes of the movie, gets knocked down and cut, looks up, sees the moon, because of course the moon's still out and you know, whatever. Right.
Speaker 1And then he becomes a werewolf.
Speaker 2And then we never hear from him again, like he is just gone. He's a werewolf. None of the werewolves have any distinctive features, so it's not like you can say, oh, that's the labamba werewolf or whatever. He becomes a werewolf and then that's it. He is just out of the movie, he is gone. And I'm just like wait, fucking labamba, what the fuck like? It's just like so weird and so like frank grillo and this lady scientist who's like the lead scientist for all this stuff are the only ones to escape the lab. Right, everybody else dies.
Speaker 2The other part that just was another example of just befuddling things that you're just like wait, I don't understand this. They're sneaking through town to make it back to his brother's wife. You know, his brother died the previous year because of Supermoon, blah, blah, blah. So they're trying to make their way through town. They get to this point where they run into this like military group who of course gets immediately slaughtered by werewolves. And she does this thing to distract them so they can get in the, so they can get in a truck and escape. They do it. He gets in the truck, she runs up to the truck, opens the door, smiles and says yeah, like thumbs up. And then all of a sudden you see this werewolf hand come down, grab her, pull her up and then she's gone. No blood, no nothing. She just straight disappears and he like sits in the truck for a minute with his head on the steering wheel and then he starts, the car, drives away. She's never mentioned again what the fuck?
Speaker 3maybe they edited it and cut some shit out that they need to put. No, I think it was.
Speaker 2It was written terribly like I don't think the edit had anything to do with it, just because, like the way these characters are, you have no idea. Again, none of the werewolves have any distinctive features except for the big bad one, right. And so you make like, okay, we made Lou Diamond Phillips a werewolf. Well, I want that to have something. So then if I see him later in the movie, I'm like I reckon it's full circle, right. But instead he just disappears, never heard from again, and then Well, that'll be part two, yeah, when the moon goes away.
Speaker 2And now he's back to yeah, and and some of the effects were good, like the werewolf effects were pretty good the transfer, the transformation. You could tell that there was a lot of cgi, but I mean it was fine and there's a couple good kills. The movie's an r rating but I didn't really see like I'm expecting with a where with a movie called werewolves that has an r rating, I'm expecting entrails, I'm expecting people getting their heads ripped off like I I want to see. Fucking you need to earn that r right, if you're going to call yourself werewolves, you got to fucking earn that shit. You can't just be like hard r, yeah, hard r, thank you like, and you can right like you're like you. You've given yourself this, like this premise that you're like oh, werewolves, anybody can be a werewolf and they will just fuck you up and like. That never really happens and I'm like they say fuck a couple times. So I'm guessing that's probably why it's an R.
Speaker 3Yeah, we only had one, I think, so you got that second one in there.
Speaker 2Yeah so but I I was at the end of it, me and me and my friend just looked at each other like what the fuck did? We just watch, like, and it's been a while since I felt that way about a movie, because usually movies I'll give a little bit of grace to, but and then the person whoever directed it or was a cinematographer, like he wanted, like jj abrams, to come skull, fuck him or something, because, like every single light had a lens flare and every like it was, the lens flare was so awful. There was actually times when when people would be having conversations and I distinctly remember them having one conversation and every time they cut to one of the people, the lens flare was like cutting through his eye, to where you couldn't really even see the character when he's having the conversation. And I'm like, is this my did? Is my projector broken? What the fuck is happening right now? And I'm like, no, that's just how they shot it.
Speaker 1Like but like that's a title of one of the reviews on IMDb that gave it two stars lens flare and epilepsy.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, and there was so many broken lights that weren't broken. They would just like blink, blink, blink, blink, and you're like no, we don't. And then smoke. It would be blinking lights with smoke. There's another one.
Speaker 1Three stars Way too many flashing lights. Interesting it has a 4.6 out of 10 on IMDb.
Speaker 2This didn't make it for the theater did it. Yeah, I think it was released in the theater, but I think it was a really small window.
Speaker 3Oh, I remember making the theater. Okay, I just looked it up on IMDb and saw that it's on Prime for $20.
Speaker 1I would not spend $20 on it. 10 out of 10 for meeting expectations though 10 out of 10 for meeting expectations.
Speaker 2That's what this guy says.
Speaker 1It's the exact kind of dumb movie I needed to see right now and, going with those expectations, this movie delivers.
Speaker 3This is somebody who likes Skeleton Crew Got it.
Speaker 1They gave it a 6 out of 10. Wait, they liked it.
Speaker 2I like this movie. It's exactly what I need they got a 6?.
Speaker 1Yeah, he gave it a 6 out of 10, but titled his review 10 out of 10 for median expectations. Oh my god, the Purge meets.
Speaker 3Werewolves.
Speaker 1One of the worst movies I've ever watched the Purge meets Werewolves. I kind of like that description. 3 out of 10 for Frank, 2 out of 10 for Katrin 1.5 out of 10 for the movie.
Speaker 2I don't understand how it has.
Speaker 3I'm going to watch that shit just for the. I don't understand how it has I'm going to watch that shit just for the. I don't know. I want to see the train wreck now. I'm not paying for it, not directly.
Speaker 1Too bad, it's him, frank Grillo, and his boring face.
Movie Critique and Star Wars Discussion
Speaker 2Yeah, if you don't like Frank Grillo, you're.
Speaker 3I like this Groundhog Day movie.
Speaker 1Which one?
Speaker 3We watched a couple movies, I can't remember what it's called, but he kept dying and repeating to his wife's office or something. What the hell is that movie? It came out like two years ago, three years ago.
Speaker 1We watched the shit One Love the Bob Marley movie. It was okay, it was a PG-13, even though they smoked pot the whole time. I was kind of hoping that there was more drama in his life, but there really wasn't like for being like revolutionary and stuff. I thought there'd be more drama, but what do I know? And then, oh, we watched that mcavoy movie. Speak no evil, that one was pretty good.
Speaker 3Yeah, I added that to my list last week that was pretty good.
Speaker 1It didn't. It was like a big build up to like the breaking point where they're like no, you know what, mcavoy, you guys are fucking creeps we're out. And then, like, all the action started. But it was entertaining enough. I wouldn't say don't watch it. It was entertaining and watching mcavoy be weird and creepy always a good time that's fair, he.
Speaker 3The trailers made him look creepy enough that I was like, man, I want to watch this. Just from that alone. Hey, my battery saver is on.
Speaker 1Well, we're also at an hour 42, so oh yeah, we are Until editing happens.
Speaker 2The fake lens flare filter was distracting. It had the worst regard of ammo amount I have ever seen in a movie Worst regard of ammo Wow. That's true. There was times when they had like machine guns and they were just like and never reloaded once, and you're just like wait a second. Wait a second.
Speaker 3You just didn't see him reload. It happened off screen.
Speaker 2There you go when it cut away.
Speaker 3Yeah, then they reloaded and they grabbed back to it. Then they hit a trap door that they were trying to avoid and they went down there on purpose. But I don't know. I guess, like I said, I'll probably watch. I'll probably watch. Oh, I'll lose them probably, or do you want to take it? So I'm watching Nosferatu tomorrow and then I was going to watch Heretic too, but I heard not so many. It's like a mixed review. I had one group say, oh my god, the movie's really good, and recently another group's like, oh, it's not all right.
Speaker 1It's on streaming, so whatever Well that's the thing, right. It's like well, at this point You're not worth the money at this point Right.
Speaker 3So it's like okay, whatever, give me something to do.
Speaker 1Yeah, I'm not going to watch anything until next calendar starts For them platinum points.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, at this point, a couple days away, there's no way for that. But I have nothing to do tomorrow, so Probably go watch Mufasa.
Speaker 1I read their review.
Speaker 3It said it's better than you think it's supposed to be. I hope so because I have no expectations in the positive side for that movie.
Speaker 1It's the number one movie in the world, sir.
Speaker 3That is true, though, Even though Sonic isn't Sonic in the United States. But hey, whatever.
Speaker 1Sonic doesn't even come out worldwide until like the 15th or something.
Speaker 2They just wanted to get it in for Oscar consideration in the US.
Speaker 3I just thought the movie was okay. The 15th or something, they just wanted to get it in for Oscar consideration in the US Wouldn't be surprised. I just thought the movie was okay. I mean, if you're a Sonic, fan, you'll probably like it.
Speaker 1Yeah, I feel like the last two movies. I thought it was fine.
Speaker 3Well, yeah, I definitely like the last two movies. I just mean I can't say stand alone, because you need the other two movies to watch this one, but it was at least the last movie and it was just like all right.
Speaker 1I mean, nothing too crazy happened no, I mean it's more of the shadow yeah, shadow was about how shadow is supposed to be.
Speaker 3The the, the stuff at the end with metallic sonic and amy, okay, great we'll see.
Speaker 1Maybe they can make the fourth one without jim carrey and do something new yeah, that I don't.
Speaker 3I mean, obviously the fourth one's in the works, but I don't know. I mean, how can you do that, though, if you have the Metallic Sonic?
Speaker 1thing we don't know who made them.
Speaker 3Well, didn't Robotnik make them the first time?
Speaker 1Maybe, so that's why I was all like well, if Shadow can survive, so can Robotnik.
Speaker 3Well, then again, shadow's got so much chaos, energy and he's going on and he had the crystal power for a little bit out of there. So it's like, eh, whatever. But again, I didn't mind that. I'd rather watch that again before an episode of Skeleton Crews.
Speaker 2But we need FanLoo to watch Skeleton Crew. Damn it, Do what. We need FanLoo to watch Skeleton Crew.
Speaker 3Yeah, we do. Like I said, said I think as a fan, the last episode wouldn't have bothered me as much as a critic. Watching stupid shit, it was just like what the fuck? But just watching it play out, like I said, thinking about it, alright, I was like thinking about it, it's not too terrible, it's just. I gotta just not think about it. Which is sad the fact that to enjoy it you have to not think about it but it's Star Wars.
Speaker 1You can't think about anything in Star Wars. Yeah.
Speaker 3You can't think about anything in Star Wars?
Speaker 1Yeah, unfortunately, that's starting to be the case. It's how it's always been, always will be.
