SPEAKER_06So if you're wearing a women's graphic tee from Lucky Brand, there's a chance that I designed it.
SPEAKER_15That's probably most of our I when you are in your lucky meetings, are they like a lucky girl is a squeakels girl?
SPEAKER_06Definitely.
SPEAKER_15Yeah.
SPEAKER_06They specifically call that out actually recently, yeah.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, it's like what was the thing on Facebook, like Cambridge Analytica or whatever? Yeah. They're like women between the ages of 25 and 45 that wear lucky brand shirts and listen to squeakels are like tend to have an IQ that's crazy high.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Which they're like the coolest people like on earth. Yeah. Yeah. It says that.
SPEAKER_13And also hot? Hot, really hot.
SPEAKER_06Like really, like too hot almost.
SPEAKER_13Oh, like too hot.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_13Hey ladies, we're talking to you. Um, we need some more emails from hot women.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, hot women, please send us emails.
SPEAKER_06Don't wear my t-shirts.
SPEAKER_15Don't call or text. Yeah, don't call or text. Only send emails. Slip into the DMs. Uh, but the go to our Squequels Instagram, that's Squeak Pod at uh on Instagram, um, and and and send us a DM through there and not through my personal one, because that's how I communicate with my girlfriend. Um, or just email us at squeakpodcast at gmail.com if you have suggestions for movies, want to tell us filthy things you'd like to do, our bodies, yeah, those kind of things, you can send right over to us.
SPEAKER_13Or if you find a mistake in the New York Times or something. Yeah. We also are interested. We have direct access to the editorial board. We do. We've been pushing out some oh yeah, that op-ed section, we've been really making some landmark uh headway there. I'm really proud of what we've done.
SPEAKER_06It's inspiring.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, it is inspiring. So, Ana, I just have a quick question. Your birthday, March 15th, historically has fallen right around, or if not on the Oscars. That's kind of like when somebody has their birthday on a holiday. How has it been for you throughout your life?
SPEAKER_06Um, it's been great. I think this is the first time it's been on my actual birthday that I can remember. Um, but a couple years ago we had a big Oscar watch party because it was the day after or the day before my birthday. So it's always been really fun because I love the Oscars and it always falls around that time. And it makes it extra special. And I get to have a little watch party with my friends this year.
SPEAKER_15She loves an award show.
SPEAKER_06I do love an award show. It's like my Super Bowl, which I think is like for a lot of movie people.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, I feel like it's really good because like moments in your life can be marked by like epic moments, like the Adele Dezim thing. Yes. Like, where was I at that when Will Smith slapped Chris Ross and put his tongue in his mouth from the street? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But yeah, it's like you can kind of catalogue it from different parts of your life and be like, oh, this is where I was when that happened.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Um, since I can remember, my mom and I have always watched it together. Um, and never watched any of the nominated movies. That's but we we just loved watching the red carpet and just like the whole show in general. We've always just been so captured by the glitz and the glam of Hollywood and all that. We watch like old movies together and stuff. So it's exciting to go into this award show actually having watched most of the nominated movies.
SPEAKER_15So that's something I really learned about you this year because we you did watch a number of uh award shows, and I was there for some of them. Um, but I've always known you as an Olympic girl as well. And um, you know, we would be walking home from something and we would see a bar had an event on, and we would stop in and like have a quick drink and watch the event. Um and then this year I was like, I'm gonna make a concerted effort to like really get into the Olympics with her and like watch a lot of stuff. And what I realized is that like it's it isn't so much about the events, but it's about the event.
SPEAKER_06Yes. And you make sure to watch the opening ceremonies and the closing ceremonies, but the sports sometimes you could give a I'll watch the highlights and the clips, but yeah, it is I make such a big deal about it and I get so excited, and then yeah, this year you were like, should we turn it on? I was like, hmm.
SPEAKER_15I don't know if I want to watch curling.
SPEAKER_13Jude has been so into curling this year. I was a little bit into it. Direct explained that I was following. There's the US team is two people, a guy and a girl named Corey. Yes. It's two Coreys.
SPEAKER_07It's amazing.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, one is a real estate agent and the other's a lab technician. You said you reached out to one of them. I texted on Facebook, yeah. I got his real litter phone number on Instagram, but he didn't text me back. Yeah. I asked him a question. What did you ask? It was about something unrelated.
SPEAKER_06Not even about curling.
SPEAKER_13No, it wasn't about curling. It had to do with movies. I said it on this podcast, but I was like, which do you think is a better movie? Or like I I think I asked him if Sinners was going to win Best Picture or something. Oh, okay. He didn't respond. Yeah. Well, they got silver, but um, I'm really proud of him.
SPEAKER_06So nice.
SPEAKER_13They did really well. They did really well.
SPEAKER_06I really loved the drama of curling this year. I feel like that was new. I feel like it's gonna potentially change curling in the future because it was like uh an honor-based system, and you know, the background of the city.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, the Canadian guy was fucking cheating. He's like, watch the fucking tape. But apparently they have historically cheated, and that was a sting operation set up by like the Swedish or something. The Swedes, yes. Yeah, fucking.
SPEAKER_06They like had their cameraman from what I read, like specifically like focus on the Canadians like hand and finger because they were like, This guy's cheating.
SPEAKER_11Oh wow.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, and then they yelled at each other on the ice. It was really exciting.
SPEAKER_15It is very exciting. Uh, Jude, you brought up the Oscars. That is, besides your birthday, what we are here to talk about right now. Um we've got ten best picture nominees this year. I think my commitment to seeing them has been sky high, especially because of this podcast. Um, but I still did not get to all of them. Um, up until about an hour ago, I was rocking through The Secret Agent.
SPEAKER_13Oh, hell yeah. I didn't see that one. That's specifically one that I missed, and uh, don't uh judge me, but I just have really I just hate Brazil.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Right.
SPEAKER_13I'm just kidding. I love them. I really wanted to see it. I'm sorry. I was just gonna wait for it to stream. It is uh it is streaming, it's on Hulu. Is it on Hulu?
SPEAKER_15Yes. Oh damn. Okay, well, almost all of the movies you can find streaming except for like F1. You need to have Apple Plus. Yeah, F1's on Apple. Um, and then um what was the what's it called? Uh Sentimental Value. Sentimental Value, the Swedish is that Norwegian or Swedish? I think that's Swedish. I didn't see it.
SPEAKER_06Is that Skarsgard?
SPEAKER_15That is the Skars. Um so we'll go through the movies and we'll just say which ones we did see, and then we'll just fucking forget about the ones we didn't see. Yeah, yeah, because they're shit.
SPEAKER_06Love them.
SPEAKER_13Because only the stuff that we see is real.
SPEAKER_06100%.
SPEAKER_13We still have whatever that thing, uh, object permanence. Yes. So like everything that we can't see is not real.
SPEAKER_06I love that.
SPEAKER_13Alright.
SPEAKER_15So sentimental value, we mentioned it. Did not see. Nada. Alright.
SPEAKER_06Did not see.
SPEAKER_15Fuck you, Skarsgard.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_15Um Hamnet. Did not see it. I watched it yesterday. Uh Sinners. Yes. Yes. Yes, we saw it like opening weekend or so. Yes. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06In IMAX, I want to say, or maybe like Dolby, something that had amazing sound.
SPEAKER_15Great sound. We didn't see it in IMAX, and then we were like, maybe we should go back and see it in the Oh, yeah, that's right. What about you? Did I see Sinners?
SPEAKER_13How did you see it? Uh on my television. Nice. Um yeah, Steph watched it on a plane and I watched it shortly after. Just like Kugler intended. Just like Kugler wanted.
SPEAKER_15Just like Kugler wanted. We got Train Dreams.
SPEAKER_06Did not see it.
SPEAKER_15Did not see it. Netflix streaming. I did not watch it yet, but I probably will watch it in the next couple days. Okay. Bigeon. Yeah, I'll come back with my thoughts on that. Begonia!
SPEAKER_06Yes.
SPEAKER_15I did see Bogonia. Yes, we saw Begonia.
SPEAKER_06Yep. We saw that like opening night. Opening night, I think.
SPEAKER_15Yep. We got a poster of it. Uh One Battle After Another. Yes. I did see. I've now seen it twice. Yeah. Um I saw it four times. Nice. Frankenstein. No. Watched half of it. F1. Yes. Yes, we watched. Alright. We did see it. That one's on Apple. Yeah, it's on Apple. Apple produced. It is a that is a movie. That's a movies movie. Yes.
SPEAKER_13It is the most movie, I think, of all these movies. There's a part where he's gonna kiss the girl and then it shows the Bellagio fountain afterwards. It was that's my favorite part.
SPEAKER_06We're gonna do speaking. Yeah, we're gonna talk about it.
SPEAKER_13We're gonna talk about it. Yeah, because of cum. Because of cum. Yeah. Marty Supreme. Speaking of cum. Yeah, yes. Yeah, there's a lot of cum in that. Well, a real big close-up.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, there's a very close-up. The movie starts with that. Uh, and then finally the secret agent, which we mentioned. No. No, no. No. Yeah, I I would not feel comfortable talking about it at this point. Um, we just talked about Marty Supreme. Um, Anna, you saw it in theaters, Jude. How did you see it? I saw it in a theater. Okay. Uh, let's just get uh popcorn thoughts. What what did we think?
SPEAKER_13Me first, me first, I'll go first. And the gimme gimmies. Me first and the gimme gimmies. Is that the guy from No Effects that does is this like a cover band? I should not. Yeah, yeah, don't do that. Don't do that. Don't mention big. Okay, I'll No, no, okay, okay. This is my okay. This is my version. Uh this is my this is my take on Josh Safty. Okay, so the movie Um Multiplicity with uh uh Michael Keaton, yeah where like he keeps making copies of himself, but the copies keep getting dumber. Yes. That's kind of how I feel about Josh Safty movies. I really like Good Time. I thought Uncut Gems was awesome, but this one I just didn't like it as much as Uncut Gems. And I I just have to say, like, uh the script kind of dragged a little bit for me personally. I mean, I thought it kind of like had the same kind of energy. Um, but uh there was a lot of stuff about that damn dog that I just didn't quite care for.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_13Yeah. Uh uh Anna.
SPEAKER_06Um I thought it had like the same anxiety situation as Uncut Gems, but like similar to what you're saying, I don't think I liked it as much. I also was just waiting for him to get shot, and then that never happened.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_06I didn't like that. We're doing spoilers, right? Because we're assuming people have either seen it or they'll turn it off.
SPEAKER_13Well, it's your birthday. You guys decide how Marty Supreme ends.
SPEAKER_06Oh, okay. So um it should have ended. I don't think it should have started.
SPEAKER_13I don't think it should have fucking started.
SPEAKER_06No, it was very fun. I saw it in theaters with my friend Jaclyn. Hi, Jaclyn. Um, and it was super fun. Um, but I think what was so frustrating um is that he got his like kind of happy ending. Whereas with like Uncut Gems, you're like, yeah, this is kind of what this dude deserved. And I felt that way about Marty Supreme, and then we just watched him play ping pong for a long time, which I understand is like the point of the movie, but I was like, okay.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_06Also, it would have been better as an opera or a ballet.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, yeah, he would have loved that.
SPEAKER_15Timothy Chamelet would have loved that. Yeah. Oh, this is another thing you'll learn is Jude doesn't know how to pronounce Timothy Chalet's there.
SPEAKER_06No, you got it.
SPEAKER_15Timoth Timothy Timothy Shall Leave me. Timothy.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, that's the part, that's the part you're getting wrong, Jude. Damn. Damn. Oh wait, wait, wait. Can I tell you something? Of course. Fuck you. No, I'm kidding. Wait. All right. Do you know how I get thrown off a lot? Okay, so this I get thrown off sometimes by like things. Okay.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_13In this movie, I saw it very early on. I saw it like one of the first days or weekends it came out. And the part when Mr. Wonderful tells him that he's a vampire that's been around for 1400. I I was like, Is he is he a vampire? Is he a is that real?
SPEAKER_15Like, did he mean that? Okay, so let's talk about a couple things you brought up. Let's talk about that one very specifically right now. Uh 100%. What the fuck? Um, it is so funny because you could say, like, is this a metaphor? But then he wouldn't specifically say, I was born in 1601.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_15He would say, I've been alive forever. I've been I am I'm immortal. I am a vampire. He would use those kind of terms, but he specifically says, I was born in 1601, I'm a vampire.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, it was like way too specific. So I was like, I couldn't get my head off of it. And I was like, Oh, it's like vampires now.
SPEAKER_06Were you waiting for like vampire to be?
SPEAKER_13I felt like really actually like I felt like vindicated because later people were like, This line was weird. Yeah, you know what I mean? That's I looked it up.
SPEAKER_15Apparently, he like came up with it on set, Mr. Wonderful. Yeah, and was like, I think I would say something like this. And it's like, well, maybe that's why you're not an actor.
SPEAKER_13Okay, I will say he was probably the best part of that movie, though. I actually thought he was really good. Yeah, I thought he was fine. Yeah, I thought he was good.
SPEAKER_15Um, the dog. I think in looking at that, I was like, oh, this is really just one of his softy tricks. It's like, how do I introduce more tension, more anxiety into this moment? And the first time with the dog in the bathtub, I was like, this is crazy, this is wild. And then when the dog is like left in the exhaust of the car, I was like, oh, fun, a nice little like send-off of that plot device, and then it came back. Yeah, and then it came back again.
SPEAKER_05It just kept coming back.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, wouldn't let the dog go. No. Um, I agree with both of you, but I think I liked it a little bit better. Um, I didn't love it, but I do think it's like Softie, he knows how to like make a movie, you know. It like the visual storytelling is like really on point. It's like gripping. I don't think there was a point where I was like, uh, is it how long is this movie? I was like in it most of the time. Um and then to uh speak to your point about the happy ending, is we talked about it a little bit on the phone last night, but it's like you see this dumb young kid who is like the best. He is the best, he knows he's the best, and he acts like he's the best, and he does that through the movie, and he like makes dumb decisions and he fucks people over and he like constantly fucks up. Um, and then the last moment, I think the difference between him getting a happy ending is that he's like choosing a happy ending. He when he finally wins that uh you know ping pong match, the first thing on his mind is that young woman, and he calls her and he calls her at the hospital and he like gets home to see her instead of going like okay, what's the next thing for me? He goes, All right, what do I do now? And it's go take responsibility for your fucking kid. Dude, I have I have And if you know anything about having a kid, Jude, uh it's it's not a happy ending.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's it's a big fuck up. You gotta be really careful and you gotta make sure that she's on birth control and you're wearing two condoms, or else you're gonna get a baby, like I did. You're gonna be cursed with a baby. Dude, I have big news. I have goss. I have I have the goss. Hot goss. I've got hot goss. Okay, so my friend, who I'm helping with something, like a writing project, she was the assistant for a producer on this movie. She gave me some inside info. I'm not even gonna- I'm not it sounds like I'm about to say something in a- I always trust you. No, you don't. You never trust me. I do. Okay, trust me. Um that role was offered to Rachel Sennett, and she turned it down because she was making I Love LA. And they were like, fuck you. This is like gonna be the biggest thing of your career. And she was like, No, my show's probably gonna be better. And I think she was right. Um there were a bunch of meetings in the script, there were script meetings with like producers and other like writers, like the main writer and Josh Safty have like worked together on all the movies, and they were like, take the dog stuff out. And they were like, No, they wouldn't take it out. Or they wouldn't even like abridge it. Like, like all the go into the cabin and the shooting thing, they wouldn't take it out. And the movie couldn't get there's like an accred a accredation, accredit accrediting thing. Yeah um with animals. And the thing where he's playing the match and the seal hits it, they couldn't get the accredation because like the seal wasn't like filmed under like the proper circumstances.
SPEAKER_15Oh, like no animals were harmed in the movie.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, they couldn't put it, they couldn't put in the movie because the seal didn't have the same standards. That's so funny. Isn't that hot gossip? That's like some fucking hot goss.
SPEAKER_15That is hot gos. And it's so funny because it stands out like a sore thumb in the in like in that movie, and then when he like goes to the ping pong uh gym, and then the guy's there and he's like, Where's my fucking dog? You're like it's like the movie goes and hits the brakes immediately. You're like, we're going back to this.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, dude, that's the thing about okay, and that's the other thing too, is like when I was watching the movie, I just couldn't help but be like, I wish I was watching Adam Sandler. You know? Um it made me miss Uncut Gems. But uh, but yeah, hell yeah. Like uh full of adrenaline. Um, and animals were harmed. No, I'm just kidding. I don't think the seal was harmed, but it like it didn't go they didn't go through like the right channels for like the seal to be used. I love that seal. Well, also they could have just taken that part out. And it they could have like been like, yeah. They could have put the tag on it if they took the seal part out, but they wouldn't. Like apparently they're like, we're not budging on anything. Um which is kind of cool, I guess, if you're j but Josh Safty or whatever.
SPEAKER_15Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Well I don't remember the seal part.
SPEAKER_15He's uh he's playing ping pong for the um How and Beloveds.
SPEAKER_06Oh right, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a real seal.
SPEAKER_13That was a real seal, yeah. Also the celebrity cameos in it were insane. There's a part where like David Mammoth just comes out. Oh. In like the theater. Yeah. David Mammoth. And then like the guy that does that like hype video for the New York Knicks or whatever that does the Instagram like bing bong stuff. His dad is the CEO of Gristette's department stores. Or grocery stores. Did you guys know that? No. His name is John Castamides. He's like a billionaire. He's like not an actor. But he's like a like a local New York businessman. And I'm sure that like they got funding for the movie because he met him at a party or whatever. He's like, You want to be in a fucking movie? Yeah. That's what that's actually.
SPEAKER_15I feel like that is one of Safti's powers, also.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, because he's like a guy, he's like a guy.
SPEAKER_15Yeah. You know? He just like cools people up. Because like, how do you get Adam Sandler to like give that performance in like your second major motion picture? Yeah.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, and like get like sports broadcasters to be like, you want to do like four lines in a movie? Yeah, Kevin Garnett to like play a role in your movie. Yeah, yeah. It's crazy. It's fun. Yeah. Yeah. I would do the same thing. If I knew anyone, I would definitely put them in my movie.
SPEAKER_15Um, Timothy Chalmay nominated for best actor for this movie. Hey Tim, I've seen better. You've done better.
SPEAKER_06Okay, last thing abouty wonka?
SPEAKER_13Yeah. The marketing budget for this movie was three times as much as it was to make it. Um that's not even exaggeration. Like the marketing budget was three times more than it cost to make this movie. That's wild. That's not crazy. Damn. That's kind of the like apparently that's like a common movie thing now. I don't know.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, usually the the estimate usually is like however much it takes to make the movie, it will take that up to like a certain level to market it. So if it's like a$500,000 movie, you can imagine that it's like a million dollar budget because they spent$500,000 on advertisement and marketing.
SPEAKER_06Our friend has um the Mardi Supreme ping pong balls that they got for whatever showing they went to. They were like giving them out.
SPEAKER_15That's fun.
SPEAKER_06Nas, yeah.
SPEAKER_15I wish that the ping pong balls would have gone somewhere.
SPEAKER_13Like out of a of a of a pussy in Bangkok or something.
SPEAKER_10There is one point where he leaves the phone.
SPEAKER_06That was after the credits. That was the post-credits.
SPEAKER_13They've really left that opportunity on the table. Like, that isn't that like a thing? Yeah, ping pong shows.
SPEAKER_15Yeah. There's a point where he leaves, you know, his uh girlfriend in the room and she like picks up one of the ping pong balls and like looks at it. And she just starts like tapping it with her finger. But I was like, what if the next easers are shooting this out of her personal? No, that's the sequel. That's Melinda Supreme. She becomes, yeah, the greatest at that. Um other thoughts on Marty Supreme? Hell no.
SPEAKER_06Nope.
SPEAKER_15Um, Marty Supreme versus Gump in a ping pong matchup. Oh, that's a good question.
SPEAKER_06Um, my gump was my initial reaction for the winner there.
SPEAKER_13I think Gump has the talent, but I think Marty would put poison in his uh soda or something, you know, like this soda's making me feel funny.
SPEAKER_15Didn't Gump Gump was training like with the Chinese, right? Yeah, so I think he would have the edge. I think so. Yeah, they injected him with something. Like you saw he didn't even break a sweat. Um, whereas Marty was like flops.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, yeah. He had to have a rematch.
SPEAKER_15Yeah.
SPEAKER_06I think Gump would win the first time.
SPEAKER_15And then he would also start beating the shit out of Timothy Chalamagne.
SPEAKER_02He'd be like, You go home to that woman, you take care of her, take her back to Brooklyn. You got her pregnant, you take responsibility for that baby.
SPEAKER_13Dude, yeah, Marty Supreme could have.
SPEAKER_06That's a really good force gump.
SPEAKER_15We look at gump, or that gump, not all gumps, as um, not all gumps. Each gump is Jordan's I shouldn't have said not all gumps.
SPEAKER_06That's what he's wearing.
SPEAKER_15He wears it to rallies. But we think of him as like a righteous warrior for uh women.
SPEAKER_05Gump.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, you respect that woman. Uh, he just starts beating the shit out of like Jake Lang, uh, who we just found out is a pedophile. Well just yeah, confirmed.
SPEAKER_10You smart supposed to love kids like that, Jake. That's what gump would say. That's what gump would say.
SPEAKER_15That's a new segment of the show. Um, amazing. Let's talk about it. It's it's we said it's the most movie of all movies. F1.
SPEAKER_06Yes, yes.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, one last ride. One last ride.
SPEAKER_06Do you think it's gonna be like Fast and the Furious franchise where it's like whatever?
SPEAKER_11Oh, there's gonna be F2 and F1.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, F2, two F1. F2.
SPEAKER_13That's what's about, man. It's about family. That was a bad bride pit. That was like fucking um, I just did like put your lotion in a basket.
SPEAKER_15I love this because I feel it's the same about Marty Supreme and about F1, is you look at these actors and they're like, this is the hardest work I've ever done on a movie. This is like incredible skill that I put into like making this happen. And it's like, well, yeah, you learned how to like drive a Formula One car. Uh yeah, you became like really good at ping pong for a movie because you like practice day in and day out. The acting, it seems like you're just doing you doing that.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, that was like the most Brad Pitt I've ever seen him. He didn't have lines, he it's like he just showed up, yeah. You know?
SPEAKER_06Oh like just be Brad Pitt, and he was like, got it. Sure, man.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, oh yeah, dude. That all the fuck stuff is so dumb in that movie.
unknownThe fuck stuff.
SPEAKER_15Yeah. As soon as like there's romance introduced in any regard, Anna and I were like, This is stupid.
SPEAKER_06I was getting so into all of like the technical car stuff and like the action of the races and you know the pit crew, all that stuff. And then when they like switched over into like the love story, and I was like, I thought the love story was between him and the car, like not in a strange addiction kind of although that would have been fun too.
SPEAKER_13But um, yeah, if he fucked the F1 car.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, I would have liked that a lot.
SPEAKER_13I was waiting for that too. That was that came in the post credits. Oh, but I I was I was thinking the opposite because I was like, you know, there was like this be this technician, and like she had her hair up and she had glasses on, and I was like, if if only she you know, fully summer up in the whole guy and humble bag. Literally is and and and got this hideously accented Irish woman to stop talking about bones and castles for a little bit and get off her science high horse, you know. She might be like, Oh Brad Pett, you're so fucking hot.
SPEAKER_06She walks down the stairs and kiss me, starts putting. Yeah, yeah. And oh my god, she's beautiful.
SPEAKER_13And like her big, her big, big friend is like, go get it, girl.
SPEAKER_12And she's like, Oh, I think I will. I think a fuck Brad Pett in Las Vegas under the Belagio fountain.
SPEAKER_15She walked out after the because yeah, we mentioned this earlier, but like they literally kiss, and then you see like fountains, and it's like, yeah, it like it like does a crossfade where he's like pushing her up against the wall and they're like doing that, and it's like, oh, they're about to have sex, and then it third crossfades. Can I be honest with you though? I fucking loved every second of that movie. I like actually really liked it. I we really had a good time, but uh she fell asleep about uh two-thirds of the way through. And then once the once the movie switches from like racing to living, where it's like each scene is like a monologue between two characters and they're talking about their feelings, and she's she get it it really starts with like her getting them together for the poker game. And she's like, I'm a woman, and I'm gonna teach you two how to express your feelings towards each other. And they're like, I was like, this is so lame. Why did why is this the role of a woman in this movie when she was like designing the most killer car for them? She is now positioned as like I'm the sensitive one here, and you know, it it just and then it just kept rolling into it. It was like another scene where it was like people talking about their feelings and really just saying everything. Yeah, and I was like, before this, it was like them talking in race language, and that was exciting because I could see the tension between characters while they were strategizing or like doing this other stuff. I could see them gaining respect for each other through that, and then all of a sudden they just started talking, and I was like, This sucks. So I agree.
SPEAKER_09He's like a pair of kings, and they just immediately started fucking.
SPEAKER_12It's like I knew you had kings the whole time, Brad Pitt.
SPEAKER_06Um she calls him Brad Pitt in the movie, yeah. She does. She kept calling it Brad Pitt.
SPEAKER_13She was like, they're like, let's do this a weird method way. Like, let's we're gonna use the reality show method.
SPEAKER_15Um, there's a really funny thing I noticed too, and it's like just shows you how much was put into this movie, and then they were just like, fuck it on other things. But it's like every firework in this movie is the most after-effects fucking firework that you will ever see. There are some that fall on the tracks that might be like practical, like you know, um practical pyrotechnics, but especially in the last shot, like where it's over the stadium, every one of those fireworks flies up in perfect unison and explodes in exactly the same way.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, and every day it's because Brad Pitt's coming every time. Every time it's because he's coming. He's like, Here comes here comes my little swimmers. Dude, it's also I love the references to like real athletes or whatever, like the real drivers.
SPEAKER_06It would be like Oh, yeah, Lewis Hamilton, Lewis Hamilton, Lewis Hamilton. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_13Apparently he was like a producer on it too. Oh, that's it. Which is funny. And like Max Verstappen or whatever, and he's like, damn, he's good. You know, just reverence to like real people or whatever. It was like very it made it like an extra level of cheesy. The movie though, kind of I felt like the movie kind of knew it was like cheesy, which was like kind of fun too, you know. Um but yeah, dude, I I just really loved the whole like uh ugly duckling thing. Um and the mom being like, you need to trust Brad Pitt because he's so hot and so old.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, we uh we wanted to see how many women in the movie wanted to fuck Brad Pitt, and how many he could actually. Yeah, he could have fucked everybody.
SPEAKER_06All of them. Men too.
SPEAKER_15He could have. He could have fucked anybody in that movie. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_06Oh my god, but I only want to see him fuck the car.
SPEAKER_13And also, you we should play a game. How many people were drinking like Heineken Zeros? Like Heineken Zero was mentioned 50 fucking times in that movie. It was everywhere.
SPEAKER_06Is that right? I didn't notice that.
SPEAKER_13You couldn't see it, they were only drinking it when they were in like the boxes or whatever. They were all drinking Heineken Zero's. Like all the ads were like Heineken Zero.
SPEAKER_06Oh, interesting.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, I'm like attuned to this stuff because of Landman. Because of like, you know, like the Mickle of Ultraverse. That's a complete that's the mickle of ultraverse.
SPEAKER_06Okay. Ultraverse.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, but this is Heineken Zero world. So Landman is produced by the uh the the guy that I mean like large scale.
SPEAKER_15What what network? Probably like the Republican Party. I don't know. Okay, well, so this is I think it is, yeah, Paramount. Yeah, it's consistent.
SPEAKER_06I was gonna say that or AMC, but yeah, Paramount.
SPEAKER_15But it's um F1 is produced by Apple movies, it is an Apple product, and when I finished, I went out to the Apple home screen and saw they're like, now showing F1. And they have they are now like the rights holder to air F1. And I was like, oh, this was a designed propaganda film. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_13It's also funny that like it's a movie about a guy from America that goes to Europe to do something not American. Yeah. Which is also the pot of uh what is that one show? The soccer one? Oh, Ted Lasso. It's pretty much the same thing. Like he goes to Europe. I mean, I guess he did F1 in the past because of like the camel cigarette thing crash in Spain or whatever. Right. But like it's like, wow, like Apple really likes you. We should pitch Apple with the idea of like an American guy going to Europe to do something European, but he's used to doing something American.
SPEAKER_15Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_13So what would that be?
SPEAKER_15Yeah. What's our Apple movie or Apple series?
SPEAKER_06Well, an American going to Europe.
SPEAKER_15Cricket is, you know, great.
SPEAKER_13Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a baseball star and he's going to coach a cricket team.
SPEAKER_06That's very good.
SPEAKER_13That's an Apple TV series. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_15That might have been the original Ted Lasso idea. And then they're like, can we make it a little more like international? Yeah. Um a panel show. He just like is an expat and he just becomes very big on like, would I lie to you? and eight out of ten cats and he guest stars on uh Taskmaster.
SPEAKER_13Yeah. Or he's like a rodeo star. And he has to ride an animal that's uniquely European. What would that be?
SPEAKER_06Or if we what if we do like he goes to like Australia and it's like kangaroos or something.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, or a big spider. He gets in a kangaroo boxing match.
SPEAKER_06Oh, that's good.
SPEAKER_13Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_13Okay, that's it. That's the animal. Alright. The animal's kangaroo. We love it.
SPEAKER_15That's what we were trying to figure out is what is the animal?
SPEAKER_06Well, and then I didn't even come up with one for the UK, but or I don't think Europe has an animal. And none. They actually don't have animals.
SPEAKER_13Other than those like fucking um French cows that are like black and white and like very French looking. He's got a sheep. Sheep, yeah. Like he's a sheep rider or something. Yeah. They've got wolves, you know?
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_13They got wolves. Um yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's it.
SPEAKER_15All right. Yeah. It's uh I I think it's also, I'll say it's it's a movie that I say is written within an inch of its life because you every character down to like the blonde in the pit crew who like fucked up the first time she changed attire. By the end of the movie, she's like leading the pit crew and calling shots and stuff. And it's like, does every character that we see need an arc in this movie? There is an arc for everyone.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, that's true.
SPEAKER_09They're all racing, he's like, last one to finish has to buy breakfast.
SPEAKER_13That'll work on my Brad Pitt. It was so Brad Pitt, though. He wasn't like uh he wasn't trying at all, really. They were just like, damn, just just go out there and be yourself, man.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, and uh I mean what we you know that's if he can do it and he's charming enough to get it done. I enjoyed my time. Uh one battle after another. We got a new P.T. Anderson. In my regard, I think uh one of his funniest um to date. I think just like most real, like general appeal funniest. What's wrong? You don't think Magnolia is funny?
SPEAKER_13I think Magnolia is very funny, but I just don't think a lot of normal people find it funny. Yeah, Jordan always talks about like the Tom Cruise scenes in that movie as like his favorite part of these scenes.
SPEAKER_06I've never seen it.
SPEAKER_15Denise the piece. Dude, Tom Cruise.
SPEAKER_13Tom Cruise is okay basically it's very pressy, and I guess because he he plays like a man, he would be like a manosphere blogger now. Yeah. But he's like, this is is it Frank? His name is like Frank TJ Mackey or something. I don't even remember. He's like a he's like women are like a giant pussy that you just got and it's like peak Tom Cruise, and he's got like these like long blonde hair, and like it's so weird for like that stage of like his career that he was even in, I guess. Because it was kind of like vanilla sky era, yeah, you know. Um, but it's really weird, really despicable dude. Yeah, he's a bad dude. He's a real fucking bad dude.
SPEAKER_15Corn Pop was a bad dude. Corn Pop, he was bad dude. Um, who you got John C. Riley, so funny in that movie. He plays like a cop, like a lonely cop. Yeah, William H. Macy is a child winner of like a game show who got hit by a lightning bolt.
SPEAKER_06I'm sorry. I thought we went back to talking about one battle after another. No, no, we're saying. And I was like, did we watch the same movie?
SPEAKER_15No, no, no, just Magnolia. But back to one battle after another.
SPEAKER_06I love John anything John C. Riley, so I'm sold already.
SPEAKER_15He wasn't in this one, he usually is in these guys. Yeah, yeah. Um, a friend of mine taught me that if you want to do a John C. Riley impression, you'd probably be good at this. Um, you do a Kermit the Frog, but then you but then you give it like a little bit of a like lilt.
SPEAKER_04I can't Kermit the Frog. You're like, hey, hey, hey, I didn't know you guys were gonna be here. Hey, don't touch my drum set.
SPEAKER_05That was good.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, it works. Don't touch my drum set, man. Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's really nice.
SPEAKER_03Hey, you're all here today. It's nice to see y'all. Something like that. Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_13That's pretty cool. We did it. We mastered him.
SPEAKER_15We can put him in the movie.
SPEAKER_13We can create a new role for John C. Riley in combat after another.
SPEAKER_15Uh if John C. Riley was in one battle after another, what would his character be?
SPEAKER_06I think he'd be like a friend of Leo's from like the older days.
SPEAKER_15Yeah.
SPEAKER_06I think he'd be in that crew.
SPEAKER_15Do you think he'd be playing like a serious badass, or do you think he would be kind of like a bumbling, lovable John C. Riley?
SPEAKER_06I think a lovable John C. Riley. I'm picturing kind of like how he was in um Skull Island.
SPEAKER_15Oh, I that's so good. I was like that kind of thing. He had like a big beard.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_15Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Like kind of like, what are you doing here? Just kidding. I'm a friend.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, he could also be like one of the um the like Christmas adventurer guys, but like the goofy one. It's like, oh come on, man. Like we're just we're we're trying to build something here, you know.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, the the um doughy, kind of like in a polo with his hair combed, John C. Riley is also a very good John City Riley.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, like a good racist, you know. Yeah, or like a lovable racist. A lovable racist. Cute. Um yet was Sean Penn nominated for this movie? Oh, I don't know.
SPEAKER_15Sean Penn, um I'm gonna be a little bit of a couple of things.
SPEAKER_13I'm gonna feel he was such a great I know he was really Sean Penn, yeah.
SPEAKER_15So let's talk about best supporting actors very quickly since you mentioned it. Uh we've got uh Delroy Lindo from Sinners, Benicio Del Toro, one battle after another, Sean Penn, one battle after another, Jacob Alordi, Frankenstein, and Stellan Skateboard, Sentimental Value. Fuck you, Stellan Skarsgard. Stellan Skateboard.
SPEAKER_06I was like, whoo.
SPEAKER_15Uh eat shit.
SPEAKER_13We hate you here.
SPEAKER_06Oh wow.
SPEAKER_13Um we don't.
SPEAKER_06I love you if you're listening to this.
SPEAKER_13He does listen. He's our only Swedish listener, besides the um the curling team.
SPEAKER_06Right. Your friend.
SPEAKER_15I don't like Sean Penn that much, just personally. Well, yeah, I don't think a lot of people do. Yeah, when you beat up Madonna, like tie her to a chair and beat the shit out of her. Right.
SPEAKER_13That's where you draw the line.
SPEAKER_15Yeah. Um, but this is a crazy performance from him.
SPEAKER_13I also I did not know he was in this movie when I saw it. I saw it very early again, Mark, because I see things like super early, just no big deal about me. A little thing about me that I see like I see things like super early. Um and it also takes very little for me to ejaculate. But I didn't know that I didn't know he was in it. And like I was like, and like Steph, my wife was like, Is that oh, is that why is that? Oh, is that like you know what I mean? You know what that happens? She's like, Oh, is that who is that? Like, it's Sean Penn, it's the president of Haiti. Dude, he was so creepy, man. His face was ugly. Yeah. Um he did that like weird thing where he put his like spit in his hair.
SPEAKER_15So that is actually inspired from a moment in Fahrenheit 9-11 where like one of the generals is talking to Michael Moore and in it like pre-interview and they show it in in on the reel. Is that true? Yeah, he does the exact same thing. He licks, he sticks his entire comb like in his mouth and tongues it, and then he combs his hair with it.
SPEAKER_13Oh shit. If I did that, I would taste the dandruff. You know what I mean? I wouldn't do that. It's like MSG. Mine specifically is like MSG. I'm being farmed. From all that time I played ping pong in China.
SPEAKER_15Um yeah, the Sean Penn performance is nuts. Gross.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, and gross. I didn't realize it was him at first either. It took me a second. Because they just like, I feel like they deformed his face like so well.
SPEAKER_13They deformed his face, and usually I'm not used to seeing him like clean cut. Right. You know, like I've never seen him in like an army type or you know.
SPEAKER_15That haircut, too. You say clean cut, but that is a weird yeah, it's really gross.
SPEAKER_13That's like an Alabama Harley Ryden lesbian haircut. Yeah, like for the character, they just showed him a bunch of those videos that do like the fr they put like their iPhone while they're driving and like they like do the front facing videos about like gas prices and stuff and like Iran.
SPEAKER_15Um Benecio del Toro also nominated for Best Supporting Actor for that movie. I think it's one of my favorite like Benicio performances. Yeah, he was awesome. Um on both ends, it's like he seemed like he was just like floating through the movie almost while like doing a lot of stuff. And where we say Timothy Chalamet and Brad Pitt didn't act. Uh these guys fucking acted. Ever I think everybody in this movie acted their fucking ass off.
SPEAKER_06Definitely. Yes.
SPEAKER_13Leonardo DiCaprio. Yeah, I I felt like it was uh he himself was very uh loosey-goosey, which I appreciate. I because I feel like Leonardo DiCaprio sometimes when he acts too hard, he um Okay. So uh a side note my wife and I paid to get illegal cable from a guy in Buffalo.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, we've we this is Lore on the street. This is Lore, yeah. So we Okay, but you were afraid that he was gonna know what you were watching.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, yeah. What are you watching? Lot of porn. There are porn, there are porn channels. Um and there's like Scottish channels and stuff, but mostly porn Scottish porn channels. Scottish porn. No, they don't have that. Um not yet, but we're working on it. Okay. We're working very hard on it. But there's like premium movie channels, but right now, like the only movies that are playing on the premium movie channels are Django Unchained and Revolutionary Road. Those are the only two movies you can watch.
SPEAKER_06Fun little fact. Oh, sorry to cut you off. Uh Revolutionary Road, part of it was filmed in my hometown, Trumbull, Connecticut. What up, 203? Um, and I stood outside of the filming location with my friend for hours, and we finally gave up, and it turned out that we were just on the opposite side of the lake, and Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet came out and talked to everybody while we were standing on the wrong side.
SPEAKER_13Damn. Yeah, it'd be funny if you kept calling like 311 or something, and we're like, these guys are fighting. It sounds really it sounds really bad.
SPEAKER_06I did see Kate Winslet um because I went back the next day with my mom because I was like, Mom, there's a chance we're gonna see these people. And we did see her walk from the car into like the building that they were filming inside, so that was pretty cool.
SPEAKER_15Fuck yeah. But anyway, did you get to meet a young uh Lieutenant Hopper or whatever?
SPEAKER_06I met some other lady that was complaining about how long she was standing there to see Leonardo DiCaprio.
SPEAKER_13Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_06So no.
SPEAKER_13Okay, the point is that movie is like Leonardo DiCaprio, he's acting really hard and is like his head is twitching. You know what I mean? That's like that. Um, the movie where he goes inside of the bear, you know. Oh, revenant the revenant, it just kind of feels like he's just he's his butt is really tight. But this movie, it felt like his butt was a little loose. Yeah, loose butthole. It is a loose butthole.
SPEAKER_06We love a loose butthole in this house.
SPEAKER_15Yeah. Some things we have to be tight butthole, but most of the time, like loosey-goosey butthole.
SPEAKER_13Okay, so just for the listeners, because podcasts is audio, I've just took out my butthole and you guys are it's very loose. Okay, and he is expelling air, but it's so there is a ping pong ball coming out of it.
SPEAKER_06You've been holding that in there for a while. Yeah, it's orange. Oh, it says Marty Supreme on it. Wow.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, yeah. Okay, I'm gonna need that bag. That's worth a lot of money. It actually says Farty Supreme. Yeah, yeah. Fuck you.
SPEAKER_06Farty poop cream.
SPEAKER_15This is all Farty Poop Cream. Farty poop cream.
SPEAKER_06Farty poop cream.
SPEAKER_13I only show you my butthole for my birthday. For your birthday. For my birthday, yeah. That's all I want.
SPEAKER_06Once a year I want to see your loose butthole.
SPEAKER_15March 15th.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Next year I want a different ping pong ball though. Of course. Thank you.
SPEAKER_15Uh, one battle after another, the daughter is also nominated. I mean, of course. It's fucking incredible. Um, I think the movie in general was like one of my favorites of the year. I know it's like uh it's a fucking little white boy thing to say, but I thought it was like very current, very relevant, um, told a story that didn't center. Like it was about this dumb white dad. Uh, but uh, you know, he was kind of like this bumbling idiot, and it uh told stories, colorful stories, uh, vibrant, uh diverse stories. Pete Anderson is like really good at doing that, right?
SPEAKER_13I mean, to be hon you know, you're just asking like this humble podcaster's opinion? Um, but I think personally, for me, uh One Puzzle After Another is my favorite movie of the year. Uh no, I think for those same reasons, uh, it I feel like uh we're obviously we're living in a time period that's like very difficult to uh describe, like, you know, how how we feel, especially like you we all want to be like part of a quote-unquote resistance, but we don't know like what that looks like or whatever. Uh so to be kind of given like an alternate version of like the Weatherman or like a like a world where even like that kind of descent is uh possible and has networks um and is like outside of any kind of like mainstream media is like uh you know, it was like a hopeful thing, you know, especially at the end where kind of the theme was like, oh, this is gonna continue. Yeah, you know, they're gonna keep fighting. Um it was like, oh, that's like that, that's that's a plausible world that that we could live in, you know. Um so it's like it it it felt very like modern and had a hopeful ending, I guess.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, 100%.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. I had that same thought too, where I was like, Well, like you said, like the subject matter obviously was like very heavy and like current, and it feels very much like we're living in it, but the sense of hope was there, and I was like, okay.
SPEAKER_15Yeah.
SPEAKER_06And I liked it. Yeah, I loved the movie. I thought it was great.
SPEAKER_15An act of revolution can be raising a child that you know continues the fight on into the next generation. That is also a revolutionary act.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, and I think like, yeah, the like revolution will not be televised. It's like, you know, that's the whole point. It's like it's taking place like inside of you, you know. And like that, that was yeah, it was hopeful. And I I really enjoyed it. Um, and I uh I liked everybody, and everybody was cute. Everybody was really fucking cute.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, really sweet movie. Um, and uh begonia. We loved it. Yep. Uh I'm a Yargos freak. You're a big Yargos freak. I'm a big Yargos freak. Um he also is a freak, too, as we get along last year. Kinds of kindness, yep. Kinds of kindness and wild.
SPEAKER_06Poor things.
SPEAKER_15Poor things. I mean, he won the Academy Award last time for that. Yeah. Um your thoughts?
SPEAKER_13Yargos is the kind of guy that if he says he's a demon born in 1601, he he means it. Yeah. It's not some shit he's just throwing around. Um, this movie uh I I mean I got Jesse Plemens just fucking is going for it in this one. I feel like he didn't get like the kind of he didn't really get any flowers for this one, and he was crazy. Uh and he did uh he did such a good job. He was like very high energy, um and uh an interesting character. I kind of was like, please don't let her actually be an alien the whole time. Yeah. And then she was, yeah, and then it just completely went for it, and I was like, okay, I'm in this guy's world.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, and the thing about that, because I was I kept going back and forth. I was like, I hope she is. No, I hope she isn't, and I like he's just crazy. But the thing with him is like, if she is, we're gonna go fully into that, and it's like gonna be crazy, but it's gonna be so good that I'm I wasn't even mad that she was, and like, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_13I totally get what you mean. Because I was like, there could be two versions of this movie. There could be the version that it actually had where she was an alien, there could be one where she wasn't an alien. Yeah, you know what I mean? Um but the yeah, yeah, and going back to like the point about one battle after another, like this movie also felt like very like modern like yeah.
SPEAKER_15Um I I I to speak to that point is I feel like you in saying this could have been two movies, is like it could have been two movies, and I think the best part about it is that no matter what that conclusion was at the end, the rest of the movie would have been the same. Because like that's I think what it's saying is that like these people are so disconnected from humanity on a level, and what the movie is positing is that it's a disconnect in a sense of like they are the arbiters of our like destiny or whatever the fuck it is. But from a ground level, what it's saying is like they are thinking that they are like making choices that are bigger than you know millions and millions of people.
SPEAKER_13It was like the most important thing in the world to them that they were shaving Emma Stone, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_15Um, and uh, you know, these like both characters were like so far disconnected from the day-to-day life of like your average street walker, but also we understand both of them on a completely human level because we feel that way sometimes. Like, fuck, I just want to like drag one of these people out of their fucking house and you know, be like, Why the fuck are you doing this? Why are you doing this to all of us? Yeah, but you also then like look at somebody else on the street and you're like, that guy's fucking crazy. What leave me alone? Yeah, can I just like get from here to my office and not have to like look at some of these people?
SPEAKER_13Yeah, but like he that that movie kind of the question of that Bogoni did really well is like I kind of just feel like he looked at a person with schizophrenia and was like, what if he was right? And that was like the basis of the whole movie, which is fun, um, but kind of scary.
SPEAKER_15Yeah. Um, you can uh, you know, I think a lot of we're actually seeing a lot of that come to pass these days as like the Epstein files released, and we're like, oh, all these fucking nuts online, like at least 15% of what they were saying was true.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_13I did like the aliens kind of looked like uh like a ween concert. Like just they all had like dreads and then were like really furry. That was like an interesting um take on aliens, I think. Uh our hometown hero, Stavi, was he was great.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, I don't really have anything to say about it. And really nice, um, I think Yorgos does this well, is it was like five characters in the whole movie.
SPEAKER_06Right.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, yeah, hell yeah. Could have been a stage play, just like really a character piece that I think was well done. I don't know if it's you know gonna take anything, but yeah.
SPEAKER_13No, I've I felt like uh Emma Stone definitely deserving of the Oscar nomination, but I kind of thought Jesse Plummons was gonna get a little shout out there because I thought he did such a good job.
SPEAKER_06He was great, yeah.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, he did the whole weight thing, he lost weight. I feel like doesn't that like an Oscar thing? You should get that. Doesn't that make sense? Everybody's saying, you know. Yeah. Lose weight is not an Oscar mate.
SPEAKER_15I think that uh the whole joy of that movie was what just watching those two go at each other.
SPEAKER_07Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_15Um, because they're just such powerhouses. And uh Jesse Plemens did really great on the uh marketing circuit. Like there were tons of viral clips of him on like TikTok and Instagram in like his interviews and stuff. Um yeah, Amazone, Amazon is like so good in it, but also like she's one already. And I don't think this was something where I was like, I've never seen anything you do anything like this before.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, I mean she just she was like was you know an alien. She was like Elizabeth Holmes, kind of a little bit like alien-like.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. We talked about that too, didn't we?
SPEAKER_13Yeah, when Elizabeth Holmes and I get to Theranos. Hey, hey, I'm Elizabeth. I'm very horny right now.
SPEAKER_00Is that how you guys get this is how you guys get like a little in the mood.
SPEAKER_13This is how we talk about it. This is that we have to stop. Anna puts on her like uh her turtleneck.
SPEAKER_00She's like putting creeping blood in this box.
SPEAKER_13So hot.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_13That's hot. Um, damn. Fuck. Yes.
SPEAKER_06Just a little peek into our life.
SPEAKER_13Just a little peek behind the turtleneck.
SPEAKER_15Little get in the turtleneck. When you I would like to do the comedy pull on my turtleneck and steam comes up.
SPEAKER_10She's like, your your cartoon mannerisms are making me even hornier. Can you can you make your tongue fall out of your mouth and form a carpet? Your eyes bulge out with hearts and you slam on a table and go, oh. Can you float seductively towards a pie in a windowsill, attracted only by the tendrils of scent coming off?
SPEAKER_15Uh at the wedding, it's like, I remember the first time I saw them at a bar. They were looking at me, their tongue was laying on the bar, and they were panting.
SPEAKER_10And steam was coming out of their ears. Kathy was there going, Arrrrrrrrr. Kathy.
SPEAKER_05Garfield. I found out eating a lasagna.
SPEAKER_13No, that feels Garfield, but it's the same, it's the same universe. Yeah. Um, Kathy, the person that like drew Kathy is like kind of hot. It's like controversial.
SPEAKER_06Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. She's like to show me a picture later.
SPEAKER_13I will. I got lots of pictures.
SPEAKER_06That's the whole camera.
SPEAKER_13I had AI do a whole thing. No, no. Um, yeah, I worked um, I worked Elizabeth Holmes into the Gump uh script.
SPEAKER_05Oh, nice.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, I thought she was necessary. Yeah, it was very good.
SPEAKER_15Thank you. Thank you, sir. Yeah, she was like the college dorm mate of Gump Jr.'s girlfriend.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, like they're fucking and she walks in and she's like, oh my god.
SPEAKER_06She was panting.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, she was panting, and she's like a common ball. So yeah, begonia.
SPEAKER_06Is there usually this much cum talk?
SPEAKER_15No, actually not. Okay. To be honest, that's cool. We didn't even talk about the cum in Marty Supreme, which is such a funny thing. Is that the movie, the whole entire opening credits is just like a little CGI sperm fest.
SPEAKER_06He does, so I came, because you not to go backwards, but you said that it made you want to watch Uncut Chums, and I came home and started watching it because it is streaming somewhere, or at least it was after I saw the movie, and it has uh like the same opening kind of colonoscopy. Yeah, that's what it is.
SPEAKER_13It's gone into his rectum, and then it turns into the mine.
SPEAKER_06Or a mine, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_15Yeah. And this is the sperm-up egg turning into a ping pong.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, very creative ways to turn these circular things into the phone.
SPEAKER_15Like I said, this guy's about he has a very, I think, like specific visual language, this softy boy. He has like very he's very competent at making these things, but it at n at this point it's like we have three movies that are like kind of the same.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_15And uh, you know, as you said, diminishing returns. I don't know if it's diminishing returns, I think it's just changing a little bit, but yeah. It's still the same movie.
SPEAKER_13Can I ask you guys a question? Is there like move scenes from certain movies that stand out in your mind? Or that you can't stop thinking about it, like of all time? I'll say of all time, but sp there's one for me. This is all a lead up to something that I want to say. Yeah about your your ghost.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
SPEAKER_13There's this movie called Killing of a Sacred Deer. We love it.
SPEAKER_06Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_08Okay, do you know the part when Colin Farrell goes to the kid and he's like, his son, he's like, when I was a boy, my father was lying in bed and I grabbed his penis and I jacked him off.
SPEAKER_13Yeah. I can't stop. I I I don't know why, but that part is just like in my head forever, and I don't know. I can't get it out.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
SPEAKER_13Do you maybe have unresolved issues around something? When my dad when I jacked my dad off, it was celebratory. It was your It was my birthday.
SPEAKER_06That's really nice. Um there's a lot of scenes that do that for me. It's mostly scenes that I've like come from like horror movies, probably. Like there's a scene in hostel that like sometimes it'll just like pop into my head and I'm like, oh, I wish I never watched that, you know, like that kind of thing.
SPEAKER_13That's what's happening to me right now.
SPEAKER_06I can describe it to you in my Elizabeth Holmes voice.
SPEAKER_13Yeah. Are you gonna do it? Do it. Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_06I don't know how good my Elizabeth Holmes is. No, it's the scene. I don't I don't remember if it's the first or the second one, but um uh they I have never like seen them in their entirety, and probably it's because I saw that scene and I was like, that's enough for me. But um one of the like guards like knocks on the door and the torture person answers and they talk, and then it like pans to like what this guy is doing, and there's like a person alive on the table, and he's skinning him alive, I think. Just like slowly, like it yeah. And um, I really wish I never saw that.
SPEAKER_13He's he turned he got he got better.
SPEAKER_06The skinned alive guy? Yeah, okay, thank you. Yeah, I never finished thank you, because I never finished the movie, so that's good to know. Yeah, he it grew back, it got better.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, that man is F1 driver Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt. That's Brad Pitt. Sonny. His name is Sonny in that movie, too. That's also weird.
SPEAKER_15Um, mine is Land Before Time, and it's like when Littlefoot is like running towards his own shadow on the wall.
SPEAKER_06I'm gonna start crying.
SPEAKER_15He's like, Mother, mother, and then he gets closer and he realizes that it's just his own little shadow that was magnified.
SPEAKER_06That movie ruined me. I watched that one time, one time only, when I was probably like 10 years old, and I tried to watch it again, and the opening scene, just where they have like the sea turtle swimming, I already started crying, and I was like, Well, I guess I'm just never gonna watch this movie again.
SPEAKER_13I watched that movie probably 400 times a time, too.
SPEAKER_15I don't know. I just Oh, I watched it 400 times and I remember every fucking second of it.
SPEAKER_06It made me so sad. Anything with parents dying, like The Lion King, I still can't like really watch without sometimes when she comes home drunk.
SPEAKER_15This hasn't happened off uh like recently, but she'll just start sobbing because she'll be like, I was just thinking that my dad is gonna die one day.
SPEAKER_10Yeah, it'll get sad.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, I'm sorry, it's true, right? That's what I do. I pat her on the back and I say, You're right.
SPEAKER_13He is absolutely babe. Just cross your fingers and it's not horrible. He goes on like a like a website from like 1998 that's like death calculator, and he's like, Does your dad smoke?
SPEAKER_12Hey, how old is he?
SPEAKER_13Let's figure out when, just so we can get ready. Yeah, and it's like it's like a just pick a date. It's like a Geo Cities website with like one of those counter things, and you can like see all like the digit things.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, dude. That was a good one though. I feel like there's just so many that it's hard to just like pick one scene from a movie.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, but Jude can and it's it's just that we're uh well that movie also begins with like an open heart surgery. That's what made me think of it. And then I was like, but Colin Farrell like has accent too, so he's like, one time, my dad, call him in his room, and he's he told me to jerk him off.
SPEAKER_15You're acting too much to be Colin Farrell in a Yorgos movie. No, he was acting, he acts. Colin acts. But but Yorgos specifically is a director where he's like, You're doing too much. You're you're doing he's like, don't he doesn't like when actors like use their eyebrows to emote. Oh.
SPEAKER_06Colin Farrell has like little cater caterpillars going on there.
SPEAKER_15Um it was my first time, I think, really seeing um what's his name? Billy Keegan. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06That was my introduction to him too, I think.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, and he's a weirdo. He is a weirdo. He is a demon. Yeah, I think.
SPEAKER_06Has he fucked up ever not played a weirdo?
SPEAKER_15Um, in um the Sabrina Carpenter music video.
SPEAKER_06He was kind of a weirdo then too.
SPEAKER_15Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_06I don't know. He was he was a criminal. They're all weirdos.
SPEAKER_15Wow. I'm just kidding. Whoa.
SPEAKER_00Bagogna barely talked about it.
SPEAKER_15Sinners. Biggest one of the biggest movies of the year. What could be better? Ryan Kugler's From Dusk Till Dawn. Half of the movie is uh the Smoke and Stack, the brothers building their juke joint. Their juke joint, yeah. And then the second half is that juke joint besieged by Vampir.
SPEAKER_09Uh yeah, it the Save the Cat Guy is like, at first it starts off as, you know, a road movie, but then it ends up as the monsters in the house movie.
SPEAKER_13That's all like Save the Cat Guy.
SPEAKER_09You learn what he talks like. Harry Carrie.
SPEAKER_01If you were a vampire and you were starving, would you break into a Duke Jordan and start sucking the life out of it?
SPEAKER_09Or would you let the Irish guy in? Would you let the white guy in?
SPEAKER_15Um, that guy, the Irish guy? Yeah.
SPEAKER_13Um he's fucking he's uh he's Jimmy from 28 years later.
SPEAKER_15Yeah.
SPEAKER_13What a year.
SPEAKER_15What a year.
SPEAKER_13What a year from my guy. Oh my god, truly. Yeah, dude, sinners so good. First off, fucking that song that they sang. Yeah. The Rocky Road to Dublin. That's like total grandpa. Like, that's like grandpa bar song. I was like, damn, Rocky Road to Dublin mentioned.
SPEAKER_15All the music in that movie is incredible. Um, it's nominated for best original uh like score. Yeah. Um, and I think it that is I don't I love so many other scores this year. Like one battle after another is fucking incredible. There's so many good ones. Um, but the music in this movie is like it's about music.
SPEAKER_06It was amazing, yeah.
SPEAKER_15Yeah.
SPEAKER_06And like I said, we saw it in like Dolby. Yeah, I think so. And it was like, you know, the scene where they show everybody in the woods like dancing around, like after I think like they've gotten some of the people from inside. It's like half of them are like vampires now. Yeah. And like the seats shaking, like while they're like dancing around. That's when that's when they're doing the Irish dick. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just gotta look like full-blown chills again.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, and doing in the um like club scene where it's like all the eras and ancestors and descendants are coming together. It's like what a huge swing for that movie to make to be like, yeah, uh, in the middle of this period piece, we're just gonna throw in like a DJ and like a MGMT looking motherfucker. Well, yeah.
SPEAKER_13Yeah. It was like, so I was like, oh damn, like ghosts encrypted and shit. The whole time, okay. I had the same feeling watching this one that I had as F1, but whereas F1, I was like, I can kind of see where this is going. I like had no idea where Sinners was going.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_13And I was like, this rocks the whole time. I was just like, this fucking rocks.
SPEAKER_06I kept yeah, same here. Cause I knew there was like some kind of like vampire-ish twist to it, but I was like, How are we?
SPEAKER_13And it doesn't show up until like the last like third of the movie, which is great, yeah.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, it was just so beautiful and so like easy to just like watch and appreciate and enjoy. And the ending, I was crying, and it was just it was a great movie.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, most of the criticism I heard was that I think a lot of people went in thinking, like, oh, this is gonna be a vampire movie, and then they were like not expecting so much of like non a story.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_15Um the sorry no no no.
SPEAKER_06I was gonna say, um, the same thing happened to me in this movie that happened to me when I watched Freaky Friday for the first time. Or sorry, not Freaky Friday, the parent trap for the first time. Okay, wrong Lindsay Loan movie.
SPEAKER_13You can do both. You can also, they call it um, they call it freaky trapping. It's when you like you basically like switch places with your mom who's also your twin. Right. And like a lot of kids are doing it.
SPEAKER_06I didn't think you just do it.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, it's called like rainbow parties, you know, or like it's like that, you know, when you put on like lip gloss and suck a dick. It's like pretty similar.
SPEAKER_05Okay. Yeah, no, it sounds it sounds the same with my mom.
SPEAKER_15Exactly. Okay, or I'm my mom. Well, well, you are your mom.
SPEAKER_06With the lip gloss. Okay.
SPEAKER_15Um, in that I thought uh That would be just quickly, actually, in like the new Freaky Friday, that would be good if like grandma switches places with like the youngest child in the family, like her granddaughter, and then she goes to a rainbow party at the high school.
SPEAKER_10Yeah, and then all these kids are getting their dick sucked by a grandma.
SPEAKER_13And that's like the begonia twist is that like it's actually happening, yeah. Because that's like all the sensationalist stuff is like, oh, it's it's real, and they take you to like a real rainbow party.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, and she doesn't tell the daughter, right? So the daughter goes back to school and she's like, Why is everyone staring at me like that and giving me a big thing?
SPEAKER_02Why does my mouth taste like 16 dicks?
SPEAKER_06Why is my mouth full of she opens her mouth and just what is this?
SPEAKER_13And yeah, and then the post they recruit her, they're like, we're building a team for the choking game.
unknownThere's this choking game.
SPEAKER_13I don't know.
SPEAKER_15Isn't that all about the made up Oprah thing? I thought you were talking about like the Hunger Games or something.
SPEAKER_06No, but it's with the wieners.
SPEAKER_15No, it's like another high school like urban legend of what kids were doing. They were like taking choking each other out.
SPEAKER_13They were choking each other out and like seeing if they would like survive.
SPEAKER_06Oh, okay. Got it.
SPEAKER_13Um anyway, so that's called freak trapping.
SPEAKER_15So you have the same thing with the parent trap that you did with sinners.
SPEAKER_06In that I, when I first saw the parent trap, I thought it was two little girls playing the twins. And in Sinners, it took me an embarrassing long time to understand that Michael B. Jordan was playing both parts. Oh, you're like and I was like, wow, these guys look really similar. And I was like, oh no, I'm just dumb.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, Anna looked at Jordan and she's like, Michael B both guys?
SPEAKER_15It's very good. I was gonna I was gonna do the classic. It's like, oh no, they just had two versions of him on set, Michael A. Jordan and Michael B.
SPEAKER_06Oh, that's very good too. Very good jokes, guys. Thank you.
SPEAKER_15Thank you. That's what we do.
SPEAKER_13We're texting like nonstop before this. Yeah, we gotta like really impressive. We gotta like, yeah, dial in some real hot zingers.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, like we gotta really, we gotta, we gotta VV. Especially for like an hour and 40 minutes in when we're just talking about sinners. That's when we really gotta start pulling out the good material.
SPEAKER_13That's when you gotta because you gotta wait. It's like the rainbow game, like you it's like the orange shouldn't happen first. Um what a crazy thing for people to be worried about. Even if your daughter did go to a rainbow party. Can you imagine being like the 14-year-old boy at the rainbow party?
SPEAKER_06What is a rainbow party?
SPEAKER_15Rainbow party is where uh you go to a party, the girls wear different colored lip gloss or lipstick, and then you see how many blowjobs you can get by the end of the night, and the different colors on your dick are is this real?
SPEAKER_13Um No, I don't think it was real, but I'm sure that like they gave the idea and somebody was like, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, I'll do it.
SPEAKER_15I mean, there was a similar thing with like hair ties. It was like I think it was like the opposite version for girls, but you would see how many like hair ties you could get by the end of the night and different colored ones. Um soggy biscuit. Did you ever hear soggy biscuit? No, I don't know this one. It's like all the guys on a team would jerk off onto like an Oreo or like a cookie, and then somebody who like lost in a race would have to eat it or something. Got it, got it, got it.
SPEAKER_13Yeah. Yeah, the yellow hair uh scrunchie means you're into piss. Yeah. Especially in the high school parties. That's the only one that matters. Um yeah, Centers was so good. I I was like, damn, I I was scared at multiple points. It was spooky. It was kind of like Stanley Kubrick kind of spooky when they were like going through all like the different like music musicians that could like speak to each other. And then when they were like figuring out that um um corn corn cornpop was a bad dude. Was it cornbread? Cornbread was the name of the guy, and he was like, You gotta let me in. He's like, You just have to invite me in. Oh, right. I was like, Oh, that was that's scary. Because he's like, you know, he's very similar to how he was before, but now he's all fucked up. Yeah, yeah, that was such a cool scene. Yeah, it's like the same thing, but fucked up a little bit. That's like um Pet Cemetery, kind of the conceit. All right. They're like a little different.
unknownRight.
SPEAKER_13That boy is very different. In Pet Cemetery?
SPEAKER_07I love you, daddy.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, that's the movie though. The book, that's sometimes a company.
SPEAKER_06I read the book. I didn't see the movie.
SPEAKER_13But that's what's scary about the book, I feel like. They make they do it better in the book.
SPEAKER_06And by day, I mean I remember being very scared reading like the last few chapters when everything was like really going down.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, and like the they they tell like a pad the past about it. Like the guy's son died in Vietnam and like brought him back, he like put him in the pet cemetery and just like stared at him, and he was like being a real fucked up kid. Yeah. God, fucked up kids. Fucked up kids are scary. They are. Dude, yeah, since you might have one. You never know. I've had that conversation. I had that conversation with our coworker, Hannah. Hannah. She might listen to this podcast. Hannah's great. But we were like, we were both. Shout out to Hannah. Yeah, Hannah Small if you listen to this.
SPEAKER_15Hey, Sam, Hannah.
SPEAKER_06Lots of shout-outs tonight.
SPEAKER_13But she we were both uh saying, like, we're afraid that we're gonna have fucked up kids.
SPEAKER_11Because you're so insane and fucked up personally.
SPEAKER_06Maybe it'll balance out and like Yeah, maybe it'll be a normie.
SPEAKER_11Would you rather have a fucked up kid or a fucked up normie? Um by like how normal it is. Don't look at him. Don't you fucking look at him?
SPEAKER_15When you think about what kind of kid you want to have, don't look at me.
SPEAKER_06I'd want like a weirdo for sure.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, real funny.
SPEAKER_06But not like a like a school shooter, you know?
SPEAKER_15Not that kind of fucking no, like a like a CEO shooter. Oh, okay, alright.
SPEAKER_06Like a Luigi, yeah.
SPEAKER_15Yeah.
SPEAKER_13But not like the kid in like a Luigi. Like a Luigi. He went to he went to Penn. He went to an Ivy League school. The kid is good. It's a good kid, he got a good head on his shoulder.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_02And he took a bad head off of somebody else's show. Hey!
SPEAKER_06What's the since we're talking about movies? Um, I recently-ish watched um Were we talking about movies? Is that what we we're like kind of talking about movies?
SPEAKER_13We started you started the movie podcast, and I'm along for the ride. Um I'm here for the tang.
SPEAKER_06You can just oh, John C. Riley is in it. I can't remember what it was called right now. Oh, a story about a boy. No. We need to talk about Kevin. That movie messed me up because I had no idea what it was about.
SPEAKER_13It's the ultimate fucked up kid movie.
SPEAKER_06Wowza.
SPEAKER_13It's Tilda Swinton, too. Yes, yeah.
SPEAKER_06Um, I went into it completely blind. I was like, oh, it'll be like a thriller. And I was like in it, and I was like, oh boy.
SPEAKER_03Oh uh, we need to talk about your son. Uh uh, he's he's acting. I found his uh diary and it's uh Don't worry, don't worry, Tilda.
SPEAKER_04Oh, don't worry, Tilda. Uh he's fine.
SPEAKER_13That's Kermit the Frog, Mary, to tell this when it turned out Yeah, it was a little too Kermit on both. Yeah, yeah, when we're working on it way into the Kermit. We gotta go more into the fossil.
SPEAKER_15Alright. Um finally Hamnet, my thoughts. You guys didn't see it. Cried my eyes out. But then in the very beginning of the movie, Hamnet, like what the heck is that? There's a quote, it says like Hamlet and Hamnet are the same name. And it's like some historian.
SPEAKER_02And I was like, then just call it Hamlet if they're the Was it originally Hamnet?
SPEAKER_06Like when he first wrote it, and then it changed. They're the same.
SPEAKER_13I think his son's name was Hamnet in real life. Yeah. And like the other thing about Shakespeare is like he never wrote it down. So like, isn't like all the folios of Shakespeare is people watching the plays and just writing them down ferociously. So like the the L could just have looked like an M. Interesting. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_06So uh why did they go with Hamnet for the movie?
SPEAKER_15Because his son's name is Hamnet and his son dies.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, I know that. Okay.
SPEAKER_15Yeah. But I was like, just do Hamlet and make that movie. Because that's already a thing.
SPEAKER_13Yeah.
SPEAKER_15It's probably like Hamnet is confusing. And who wants to watch a movie about a little boy dying? At least in Hamlet, it's an old man who dies.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, or they could make the little boy age really rapidly and have them be played by like Robin Williams, and they can have it be Jack.
SPEAKER_06That'd be good. Or the other way around, back to Brad Pitt.
SPEAKER_13Benjamin Button. Benjamin. The opposite way. Benjamin Button. Do it.
SPEAKER_00Do the thing.
SPEAKER_13How old are you?
SPEAKER_00How old are you?
SPEAKER_09Seven. Seven. But I look a lot older.
SPEAKER_13I love I love Benjamin Button. I like the end when they're like, some people were born to dance.
SPEAKER_10And some people were born to swim. And some people were just born to love.
SPEAKER_02God, what a dog shit movie.
SPEAKER_13There's so many movies. It was good when I saw it. I and that was definitely like 15, but I loved it.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, I saw it in theater, so I I think I was like probably.
SPEAKER_15It was like late teens, I think.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_15So many bad movies nominated. I don't think I don't know. Looking back on this, if you had to choose like one that would be the crash or the you know, that kind of like that one, the Oscar or whatever. Which one of those would it be? Of these?
SPEAKER_06Like for best picture? Yeah. I'd say it's F1. If that won, I'd be like, what are we doing?
SPEAKER_15I don't think that's gonna win.
SPEAKER_06I don't think so either. I think it'll win for like sound editing, maybe like stuff like that.
SPEAKER_15And also like original score fucking. Oh yeah, it was Hans Hans Zimmer's awesome. Yeah, it was very good. It's it's like you said this during the movie, Anna. It's like somebody saw Challengers and was like, Yeah, oh, that's I want to make a movie like that without doing anything like fun with the story of it.
SPEAKER_06Sure.
SPEAKER_15They were just like, oh, how can I tell a straightforward story with all the aesthetic of challengers? Yeah, yeah. That was a good one.
SPEAKER_13And the music, because at one point it was like very similar, like playing over like awesome action shots. Yeah, because I kind of feel like if even Bogonia came out of nowhere and won Best Picture, people would still be like, Oh, I get it. I get why it won. Yeah, but they wouldn't be like excited about it.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, I don't see that winning.
SPEAKER_13No, I don't either, but I'm saying like people would be like, I get it, I guess. Um, I think Sinners would be weird to win best picture, yeah. Because it's like it's not really saying anything. Do you know what I mean? Like it's like it's a cool fucking movie, but it is essentially from dust till dawn.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, I think it's a it's a really great celebration, like picture of like black excellence, and it is like um a cool thing to see, but in the same way, it's like I don't know. I when somebody it's like I think it's there's 10 movies on there, and some movies that were just like the biggest movies, and like you know, kind of the brightest movies of the year got put up on there. Yeah, and I think Sinners is not it's like a marquee movie, but it's not a fun movie.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, it's also like really cool and fun, but it is definitely kind of like in that like avatar category. It's kind of like Ryan Kugler Kugler's like Avatar. Yeah. I like that at the end that he's just like BB King. That's wild. That's literally what I thought.
SPEAKER_06So then what are we looking at? Well, I guess what you've seen more. Uh well, you saw Hamnet and you saw half of um Jordan I'm talking to right now. I forgot I'm on a podcast.
SPEAKER_13You don't need it's okay, just ignore me. I'm not important.
SPEAKER_06You're so important. Who else would talk about cum this much if you weren't here?
SPEAKER_13Probably a lot of people. Like you get a lot of guys talking about cum.
SPEAKER_15If you listen to any two white guy podcasts, probably 30% of the time they're talking about cum. Yeah, that's fair.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Anyway.
SPEAKER_15Um, I mean, I like I think one battle after another is a great way to go. Has oh PT won for Phantom Thread, right? No, no, he never won an Oscar. Oh, he didn't? Not even there will be blow for nothing. I think then one battle should take it.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, I I kind of think the betting odds. I I'm not saying that I have checked Kelshi, but I have. Uh it it's it's the highest odds. Um also Jesse Buckley for like a best actress is like 90%. I I've never like seen those odds. Yeah. Like I've never seen odds before, really, for Oscars.
SPEAKER_06But um because she didn't win the Golden Globe, right? Or did she?
SPEAKER_13I I don't know, but I just remember being like, that's like so high.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_15I mean, she's incredible in the movie, she's just an incredible actor. Her on the fourth season of Fargo, she's a fucking highlight there. Um, she's in the bride. She's she's opposite Christian Bale and the bride. This is like she's just fucking, you know, killing it right now. Oh, she's in men. She's the woman in men.
SPEAKER_06She's just oh, I was confusing her with someone else, but yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, she's just like top to bottom, like one of the best actors I've seen working, uh, I think today. Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, um, I have strong feelings about um best supporting actress. Okay. What do you think? I think they should get rid of the whole category. No, no. That's good. I'm kidding. I think I I really like Amy. Is it Amy Madigan? Amy Madigan from Weapons.
SPEAKER_06Oh, yeah. She just won something.
SPEAKER_13She fucking rules. She's so fucking cool in that movie. Gladys, yes. Gladys is such such a good character. So iconic. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06She just won uh Netflix had their like actors' awards or whatever it's called. I think she just won that. She won something recently, so yeah, dude.
SPEAKER_13Um because the only time I've ever seen her before was she plays um uh is it in uh Field of Dreams. She plays Kevin Costner's like wife, and she's kind of like the prototype of like a manic pixie. She's like, You should just follow your dreams. You should do your dreams, Kevin Costner.
SPEAKER_08And he's like, I'm gonna build a baseball field so that my dad can come as a ghost.
SPEAKER_05Oh, that's nice.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's good. His dad is Raleo.
SPEAKER_06I've never seen that movie.
SPEAKER_13It's wild.
SPEAKER_06I also confused it with the Robin Williams movie where he walks into the paintings. What is that called?
SPEAKER_13What dreams may be.
SPEAKER_06I always same era. Yeah, I always can not that they're the same or similar, but I always confuse them when I hear the title.
SPEAKER_15If Jude was starring in it, uh they'd be called uh Wet Dreams May Come. Wet Dreams May Come because of my wet dreams. Because he does. They may, though. It's excitement dreams and then he spurts in his bed.
SPEAKER_13No, I think I have said this on the podcast before, but when I do sleep in a strange uh bed or hotel, I will sometimes uh ejaculate uh nocturnally.
SPEAKER_06Nocturnally, yeah.
SPEAKER_13It actually happens to my friend Ryan too. No, so I want to tell a funny story about Ryan to like kind of deflect for myself, but like him and his uh girlfriend went to Japan and uh the host of the Airbnb was like, Well, like this is unfortunately the house rules, but you can't have sex in the bed. And Ryan went to sleep in the Airbnb and had one of his like nocturnal nervous dreams, and uh he was like, I guess I got around the rules.
SPEAKER_05Wow.
SPEAKER_13Because he didn't technically have sex, but he still had Airbnb. But yeah, he still ruined the ruined.
SPEAKER_06The whole Airbnb.
SPEAKER_13They don't have mattress covers in Japan. That's against their religion.
SPEAKER_15That's not true. That's a lie. Yeah. The host. An iconic part of the Oscar party, right? Uh, you will be the host of this party at our apartment, but there is the host of the Oscars.
SPEAKER_00That's right.
SPEAKER_15This year, Conan O'Brien, uh, I believe for his second year.
SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_15Before that, another late night host, Jimmy Kimmel. No, 2022, a funny little mix-up. Three hosts Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it was bad.
SPEAKER_15I don't remember that at all.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, I don't remember liking it very much.
SPEAKER_15Um, for three years before that, no host whatsoever.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_15You had your COVID Oscars.
SPEAKER_06Very awkward Oscars.
SPEAKER_15Jimmy Kimmel for two years before that.
SPEAKER_06Yep.
SPEAKER_15Chris Rock hosted in 2005 and 2016. Whoopi Goldberg hosted in 94, 96, 99, and 2002.
SPEAKER_05Wow.
SPEAKER_15Damn. When I was a kid, I I thought that it was like it was Billy Crystal and Whoopi Goldberg's job to host the Oscars.
SPEAKER_06I yeah, every year I'm like, just have Billy Crystal do it again. And my mom says the same exact thing.
SPEAKER_13That sounds like an old person's.
SPEAKER_02Oh, I thought she was like, and she says the same exact thing.
SPEAKER_06Why doesn't Billy Crystal host the Oscar?
SPEAKER_02I thought you asked her why doesn't he host, and she says the same thing.
SPEAKER_06Oh, no, no, no. She agrees with me.
SPEAKER_15I hate that fucking guy. Yeah. She says the same thing. Um Billy Crystal, one of the most uh hosted. Uh we had Steve Martin, we had Chris Rock, we had Jon Stewart, we had Alec Baldwin for a minute. What about Wallace Sean? Wallace Sean never hosted the Oscars. He should. He should. Um, do you remember when Ann Hathaway and James Franco split the DVDs? I do actually.
SPEAKER_00Oh, that was an era. Yeah.
SPEAKER_13I feel like that was back when like the meatball shop was popular. Was it like 2012?
SPEAKER_152011, yeah. Okay. 2012, Billy Crystal came back, then 2013, Seth McFarlane, 2014, Ellen de Generous. That selfie.
SPEAKER_06Oh, the famous selfie. Oh, the famous selfie. I thought that was so cool when I was watching it. That was when I still liked Ellen DeGeneres. And I thought it was so funny.
SPEAKER_02That was when I still liked Kevin Spacey.
SPEAKER_06And Kevin Spacey, yeah. Yeah, it's the worst people you've got.
SPEAKER_02Harvey Weinstein.
SPEAKER_15Yeah. Hey, that picture is still up in my head. Neil Patrick Harris after that.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
SPEAKER_15Um, other than that, it's like Hugh Jackman? Yes, that's what I was gonna bring up for you. Thank you. Was that big for you when Hugh posted?
SPEAKER_06Very much enjoyed that Oscars, and I still talk about his funny joke that he made because he was going through all of the people that were nominated for I think like best or actor or something, whatever. He was just talking about the movies and stuff, and he was like, and I'm an Australian who played an Australian in a movie called Australia. And I was like, that's the funniest thing I've ever heard.
SPEAKER_13It's pretty good. Yeah, and I see it. That was after like the financial crisis, right? Like Occupy Wall Street. Yeah, it was like 2009 or something. I fucking he that rocked. He also he did like a It is exactly 2009.
SPEAKER_06Wow, you are good with the dates.
SPEAKER_13I remember he did like a performance. He was like, we can't afford uh, you know, we can't afford to do like a big thing. So we like did like a cardboard box performance at the beginning.
SPEAKER_06He did a very good, yeah, like musical performance.
SPEAKER_13Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Um, I remember Billy Crystal, he did the thing where he like inserted himself into all of the best picture nominees. And I always think about that too. I thought it was so funny.
SPEAKER_15Those are great. Those openings. Um, I think yeah, you you do want a song and dance guy, you know, hosting the Oscars. You got your Seth McFarlands. Um other ones of note, just uh throughout history. Um Johnny Carson hosted five times, Bob Hope hosted 19 times, or co-hosted because for a while there were like sometimes three or four hosts. Uh, and one time he co-hosted with Donald Duck.
SPEAKER_05Wow. Yeah.
SPEAKER_13That was before the allegations came out. Suck my brows. Yes, yes, and also Eric Cartman famously hosted the Oscars in 1997.
SPEAKER_02That was so fucking edgy when he did it.
SPEAKER_13It was crazy, dude. You can't say that shit on television. I'm getting a call from Ocala, Florida. Last time we did this, I got a call from uh Buffalo Wild Wings, yeah. Really? Yeah, they were following up in a customer service complaint. Oh, well, pick it up. You complained? All right. Yeah, let's see.
SPEAKER_15Hello? Dude, Jude's notoriously rude to customer service employees.
SPEAKER_06Um, did you file a complaint with Buffalo Wild Wings?
SPEAKER_13I did.
SPEAKER_06What happened?
SPEAKER_13The guy showed up and it took two hours and the the the wings were open and cold.
SPEAKER_05Oh.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, yeah. It was probably worse. That was uh worse than like when that blimp exploded, the Hindenburg. Oh yeah, the humanity. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06I was wondering which tragedy you were gonna pick, and I'm glad you went with that one.
SPEAKER_15The one with the blimp. This is the first time he's brought up the Hindenburg.
SPEAKER_13It's usually the Challenger or like Yeah, but that's because we stopped doing Challengers, so I stopped thinking about it. Because when we were watching Challengers, all I could think about was the chestnut.
SPEAKER_06It was a challenger. Yeah, fair.
SPEAKER_13That that old chestnut. I don't know.
SPEAKER_15Crack it right open.
SPEAKER_13That old chestnut. Uh no, it wasn't the Nickelodeon blimp disaster in 1997.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_13Um what were we talking about?
SPEAKER_15Uh looking at uh 2027. Let's say Conan retires, he hangs up the hair, the pump. The pump. Who would we put in house duties for 2027?
SPEAKER_13I kind of feel like you could dust off huge Jack Man, but let him do one more round. I think he's prim for it.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, and it would probably be good to like help cross-promote Deadpool Wolverine 2. Maybe the new Avengers movie coming out. That'd probably be great synergy for you know, some brand there. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06I feel like that, or they would go with a comedian again. I feel like Nikki Glazier has been a favorite for hosting. She did the I think the Golden Globes twice now.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, that wouldn't be bad. Um, I was thinking um Jake from State Farm. Jake from State Farm.
SPEAKER_06Both of them co-host yeah, the like Jake's from State Farm.
SPEAKER_13Jake's from State Farm. He's like, I don't know what I'm doing here. Um AI. AI. Yeah, if AI could host it. Yeah. Yeah. Honestly, probably. They'll be like, Claude is hosting.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_15Uh, what about Shane Gillis?
SPEAKER_05Oh my god.
SPEAKER_15Sure. How like they put Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl as you put Shane Gillis at the house.
SPEAKER_13It's gonna work. I honestly like that's that's not even weird to me.
SPEAKER_15I'd be like, oh James Corden, could we need to go back to you know a late night host? You keep that thing going, a Jimmy Fallon, of course.
SPEAKER_06I was gonna say, I thought Jimmy Fallon had hosted, but I guess not. I think I was just thinking of Jimmy Kimmel.
SPEAKER_13Yeah. They could do Mr. Beast, but he has a gun or something. Right.
SPEAKER_15He can shoot one celebrity. I would like if James Corden was hosting and then Patrick Stewart came up and he's like, to give you a few notes.
SPEAKER_02If you're going to host a show, put away your belly.
SPEAKER_05That's the whole show.
SPEAKER_02Do you know this? Oh, it's the best.
SPEAKER_05It's the best clip of all time.
SPEAKER_02Putaway your belly. Oh, sir, you couldn't be more wrong. I love being up. Oh, it's so good.
SPEAKER_06It's so good. You have to watch it after this. Oh, hell yeah. We'll make you watch it.
SPEAKER_02I'll watch that. It's a catfight between James Corden and Sir Patrick Stewart.
SPEAKER_13And they're real, they're really mad at each other. They hate each other. Oh, good. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I feel like James Corden and Ellen DeGeneres can co-host and like hit their assistants or something.
SPEAKER_06Oh, that's nice. That's all they do. There's like no speaking at all.
SPEAKER_13It's like awkward. Like someone like runs out to give them something and like, what the fuck are you doing here?
SPEAKER_15Yeah, they try to make the whole thing into like an elevated joke about how shitty they are, but it's just like uncomfortable.
SPEAKER_13The whole thing is taking place at a restaurant where they're just being really mean to the waiter. Throwing omelets at omelets at the waiter.
SPEAKER_15And with all that, we wrap up this year's Squeakels Oscar special. Squeakels Anna's birthday special. Anna, happy birthday.
SPEAKER_06Thank you. Thank you so much. This was such a pleasure. Thank you for having me.
SPEAKER_13I hope something fucking crazy happens during this Oscar when it's like the uh the syzygy with your birthday. Like it's all happening at the same time. Yeah. Please spell syzygy.
SPEAKER_15Um with all that being said, you can reach out to us at squeak pod on all forms of social media at squeakpodcast at gmail.com if you want to talk to us about the Oscars. If you have any movies to recommend. Next, we have coming up Kindarden Cop. Uh, with the Samurai Movie Jam guys making a special guest appearance. I never agreed to that. Have you ever seen Kindergarten Cop? I don't want new friends. You don't need to meet them. They just sent us a video.
SPEAKER_13Okay, good, good, good.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_01Thanks, all. Bye. Bye.
SPEAKER_13Great, we did it. That was so good. That actually, in my opinion, I might be wrong. That was actually like my favorite that we've ever done.
