And we believe that every movie deserves a sequel. We believe that every girl deserves a birthday, and we believe that every movie also deserves an award. Can you say that more sensually and in a deeper voice? We believe that every movie deserves a sequel. Every girl deserves a birthday.

SPEAKER_13

And every movie also deserves an award. Oh my gosh. I should have put a towel down before I sat in this chair because I'm stopping. Slipping off. Yeah, I'm like a snail in the summertime. Because of the slime coming on my birthday.

SPEAKER_06

So if you're wearing a women's graphic tee from Lucky Brand, there's a chance that I designed it.

SPEAKER_15

That's probably most of our I when you are in your lucky meetings, are they like a lucky girl is a squeakels girl?

SPEAKER_06

Definitely.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

They specifically call that out actually recently, yeah.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, 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_06

Yeah. Which they're like the coolest people like on earth. Yeah. Yeah. It says that.

SPEAKER_13

And also hot? Hot, really hot.

SPEAKER_06

Like really, like too hot almost.

SPEAKER_13

Oh, like too hot.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13

Hey ladies, we're talking to you. Um, we need some more emails from hot women.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, hot women, please send us emails.

SPEAKER_06

Don't wear my t-shirts.

SPEAKER_15

Don'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_13

Or 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_06

It's inspiring.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, 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_06

Um, 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_15

She loves an award show.

SPEAKER_06

I do love an award show. It's like my Super Bowl, which I think is like for a lot of movie people.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, 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_06

Yeah. 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_15

So 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_06

Yes. 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_15

I don't know if I want to watch curling.

SPEAKER_13

Jude 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_07

It's amazing.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, 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_06

Not even about curling.

SPEAKER_13

No, 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_06

So nice.

SPEAKER_13

They did really well. They did really well.

SPEAKER_06

I 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_15

Yeah, 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_06

They 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_11

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, and then they yelled at each other on the ice. It was really exciting.

SPEAKER_15

It 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_13

Oh, 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_06

Yeah. Right.

SPEAKER_13

I'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_15

Yes. 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_06

Is that Skarsgard?

SPEAKER_15

That 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_06

Love them.

SPEAKER_13

Because only the stuff that we see is real.

SPEAKER_06

100%.

SPEAKER_13

We still have whatever that thing, uh, object permanence. Yes. So like everything that we can't see is not real.

SPEAKER_06

I love that.

SPEAKER_13

Alright.

SPEAKER_15

So sentimental value, we mentioned it. Did not see. Nada. Alright.

SPEAKER_06

Did not see.

SPEAKER_15

Fuck you, Skarsgard.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15

Um 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_06

In IMAX, I want to say, or maybe like Dolby, something that had amazing sound.

SPEAKER_15

Great 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_13

How 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_15

Just like Kugler wanted. We got Train Dreams.

SPEAKER_06

Did not see it.

SPEAKER_15

Did 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_06

Yes.

SPEAKER_15

I did see Bogonia. Yes, we saw Begonia.

SPEAKER_06

Yep. We saw that like opening night. Opening night, I think.

SPEAKER_15

Yep. 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_13

It 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_06

We're gonna do speaking. Yeah, we're gonna talk about it.

SPEAKER_13

We'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_15

Yeah, 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_13

Me 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_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah. Uh uh Anna.

SPEAKER_06

Um 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_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

I 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_13

Well, it's your birthday. You guys decide how Marty Supreme ends.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, okay. So um it should have ended. I don't think it should have started.

SPEAKER_13

I don't think it should have fucking started.

SPEAKER_06

No, 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_13

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Also, it would have been better as an opera or a ballet.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, yeah, he would have loved that.

SPEAKER_15

Timothy 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_06

No, you got it.

SPEAKER_15

Timoth Timothy Timothy Shall Leave me. Timothy.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, 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_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_13

In 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_15

Like, 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_07

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_15

He 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_13

Yeah, 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_06

Were you waiting for like vampire to be?

SPEAKER_13

I 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_15

Apparently, 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_13

Okay, 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_15

Um, 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_05

It just kept coming back.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, 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_13

Yeah, 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_15

Oh, like no animals were harmed in the movie.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, 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_15

That 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_13

Yeah, 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_15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Well I don't remember the seal part.

SPEAKER_15

He's uh he's playing ping pong for the um How and Beloveds.

SPEAKER_06

Oh right, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a real seal.

SPEAKER_13

That 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_15

I feel like that is one of Safti's powers, also.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, because he's like a guy, he's like a guy.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah. 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_13

Yeah, 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_15

Um, Timothy Chalmay nominated for best actor for this movie. Hey Tim, I've seen better. You've done better.

SPEAKER_06

Okay, last thing abouty wonka?

SPEAKER_13

Yeah. 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_15

Yeah, 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_06

Our 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_15

That's fun.

SPEAKER_06

Nas, yeah.

SPEAKER_15

I wish that the ping pong balls would have gone somewhere.

SPEAKER_13

Like out of a of a of a pussy in Bangkok or something.

SPEAKER_10

There is one point where he leaves the phone.

SPEAKER_06

That was after the credits. That was the post-credits.

SPEAKER_13

They've really left that opportunity on the table. Like, that isn't that like a thing? Yeah, ping pong shows.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah. 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_06

Nope.

SPEAKER_15

Um, Marty Supreme versus Gump in a ping pong matchup. Oh, that's a good question.

SPEAKER_06

Um, my gump was my initial reaction for the winner there.

SPEAKER_13

I 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_15

Didn'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_06

Yeah, yeah. He had to have a rematch.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

I think Gump would win the first time.

SPEAKER_15

And then he would also start beating the shit out of Timothy Chalamagne.

SPEAKER_02

He'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_13

Dude, yeah, Marty Supreme could have.

SPEAKER_06

That's a really good force gump.

SPEAKER_15

We 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_06

That's what he's wearing.

SPEAKER_15

He wears it to rallies. But we think of him as like a righteous warrior for uh women.

SPEAKER_05

Gump.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, 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_10

You smart supposed to love kids like that, Jake. That's what gump would say. That's what gump would say.

SPEAKER_15

That'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_06

Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, one last ride. One last ride.

SPEAKER_06

Do you think it's gonna be like Fast and the Furious franchise where it's like whatever?

SPEAKER_11

Oh, there's gonna be F2 and F1.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, F2, two F1. F2.

SPEAKER_13

That'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_15

I 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_13

Yeah, 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_06

Oh like just be Brad Pitt, and he was like, got it. Sure, man.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, oh yeah, dude. That all the fuck stuff is so dumb in that movie.

unknown

The fuck stuff.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah. As soon as like there's romance introduced in any regard, Anna and I were like, This is stupid.

SPEAKER_06

I 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_13

But um, yeah, if he fucked the F1 car.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I would have liked that a lot.

SPEAKER_13

I 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_06

She walks down the stairs and kiss me, starts putting. Yeah, yeah. And oh my god, she's beautiful.

SPEAKER_13

And like her big, her big, big friend is like, go get it, girl.

SPEAKER_12

And she's like, Oh, I think I will. I think a fuck Brad Pett in Las Vegas under the Belagio fountain.

SPEAKER_15

She 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_09

He's like a pair of kings, and they just immediately started fucking.

SPEAKER_12

It's like I knew you had kings the whole time, Brad Pitt.

SPEAKER_06

Um she calls him Brad Pitt in the movie, yeah. She does. She kept calling it Brad Pitt.

SPEAKER_13

She 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_15

Um, 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_13

Yeah, 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_06

It would be like Oh, yeah, Lewis Hamilton, Lewis Hamilton, Lewis Hamilton. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_13

Apparently 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_15

Yeah, 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_06

All of them. Men too.

SPEAKER_15

He could have. He could have fucked anybody in that movie. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Oh my god, but I only want to see him fuck the car.

SPEAKER_13

And 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_06

Is that right? I didn't notice that.

SPEAKER_13

You 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_06

Oh, interesting.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, 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_06

Okay. Ultraverse.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, but this is Heineken Zero world. So Landman is produced by the uh the the guy that I mean like large scale.

SPEAKER_15

What 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_06

I was gonna say that or AMC, but yeah, Paramount.

SPEAKER_15

But 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_13

It'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_15

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_13

So what would that be?

SPEAKER_15

Yeah. What's our Apple movie or Apple series?

SPEAKER_06

Well, an American going to Europe.

SPEAKER_15

Cricket is, you know, great.

SPEAKER_13

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a baseball star and he's going to coach a cricket team.

SPEAKER_06

That's very good.

SPEAKER_13

That's an Apple TV series. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15

That 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_13

Yeah. Or he's like a rodeo star. And he has to ride an animal that's uniquely European. What would that be?

SPEAKER_06

Or if we what if we do like he goes to like Australia and it's like kangaroos or something.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, or a big spider. He gets in a kangaroo boxing match.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, that's good.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_13

Okay, that's it. That's the animal. Alright. The animal's kangaroo. We love it.

SPEAKER_15

That's what we were trying to figure out is what is the animal?

SPEAKER_06

Well, 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_13

Other 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_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13

They got wolves. Um yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's it.

SPEAKER_15

All 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_13

Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_09

They're all racing, he's like, last one to finish has to buy breakfast.

SPEAKER_13

That'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_15

Yeah, 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_13

I 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_06

I've never seen it.

SPEAKER_15

Denise the piece. Dude, Tom Cruise.

SPEAKER_13

Tom 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_15

Corn 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_06

I'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_15

No, no, no, just Magnolia. But back to one battle after another.

SPEAKER_06

I love John anything John C. Riley, so I'm sold already.

SPEAKER_15

He 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_04

I 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_05

That was good.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, it works. Don't touch my drum set, man. Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's really nice.

SPEAKER_03

Hey, you're all here today. It's nice to see y'all. Something like that. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_13

That's pretty cool. We did it. We mastered him.

SPEAKER_15

We can put him in the movie.

SPEAKER_13

We can create a new role for John C. Riley in combat after another.

SPEAKER_15

Uh if John C. Riley was in one battle after another, what would his character be?

SPEAKER_06

I think he'd be like a friend of Leo's from like the older days.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

I think he'd be in that crew.

SPEAKER_15

Do 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_06

I think a lovable John C. Riley. I'm picturing kind of like how he was in um Skull Island.

SPEAKER_15

Oh, I that's so good. I was like that kind of thing. He had like a big beard.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Like kind of like, what are you doing here? Just kidding. I'm a friend.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, 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_15

Yeah, 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_13

Yeah, 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_15

Sean Penn, um I'm gonna be a little bit of a couple of things.

SPEAKER_13

I'm gonna feel he was such a great I know he was really Sean Penn, yeah.

SPEAKER_15

So 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_06

I was like, whoo.

SPEAKER_15

Uh eat shit.

SPEAKER_13

We hate you here.

SPEAKER_06

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_13

Um we don't.

SPEAKER_06

I love you if you're listening to this.

SPEAKER_13

He does listen. He's our only Swedish listener, besides the um the curling team.

SPEAKER_06

Right. Your friend.

SPEAKER_15

I 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_13

That's where you draw the line.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah. Um, but this is a crazy performance from him.

SPEAKER_13

I 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_15

So 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_13

Oh 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_15

Um yeah, the Sean Penn performance is nuts. Gross.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, 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_13

They 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_15

That haircut, too. You say clean cut, but that is a weird yeah, it's really gross.

SPEAKER_13

That'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_15

Um 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_06

Definitely. Yes.

SPEAKER_13

Leonardo 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_15

Yeah, 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_13

Yeah, 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_06

Fun 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_13

Damn. 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_06

I 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_15

Fuck yeah. But anyway, did you get to meet a young uh Lieutenant Hopper or whatever?

SPEAKER_06

I met some other lady that was complaining about how long she was standing there to see Leonardo DiCaprio.

SPEAKER_13

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_06

So no.

SPEAKER_13

Okay, 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_06

We love a loose butthole in this house.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah. Some things we have to be tight butthole, but most of the time, like loosey-goosey butthole.

SPEAKER_13

Okay, 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_06

You've been holding that in there for a while. Yeah, it's orange. Oh, it says Marty Supreme on it. Wow.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, 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_06

Farty poop cream.

SPEAKER_15

This is all Farty Poop Cream. Farty poop cream.

SPEAKER_06

Farty poop cream.

SPEAKER_13

I only show you my butthole for my birthday. For your birthday. For my birthday, yeah. That's all I want.

SPEAKER_06

Once a year I want to see your loose butthole.

SPEAKER_15

March 15th.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. Next year I want a different ping pong ball though. Of course. Thank you.

SPEAKER_15

Uh, 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_13

I 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_15

Yeah, 100%.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. 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_15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

And I liked it. Yeah, I loved the movie. I thought it was great.

SPEAKER_15

An 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_13

Yeah, 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_15

Yeah, 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_06

Poor things.

SPEAKER_15

Poor things. I mean, he won the Academy Award last time for that. Yeah. Um your thoughts?

SPEAKER_13

Yargos 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_06

Yeah, 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_13

I 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_15

Um 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_13

It was like the most important thing in the world to them that they were shaving Emma Stone, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_15

Um, 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_13

Yeah, 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_15

Yeah. 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_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13

I 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_15

Yeah, 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_06

Right.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, 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_13

No, 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_06

He was great, yeah.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, 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_15

I think that uh the whole joy of that movie was what just watching those two go at each other.

SPEAKER_07

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_15

Um, 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_13

Yeah, 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_06

Yeah. We talked about that too, didn't we?

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, when Elizabeth Holmes and I get to Theranos. Hey, hey, I'm Elizabeth. I'm very horny right now.

SPEAKER_00

Is that how you guys get this is how you guys get like a little in the mood.

SPEAKER_13

This is how we talk about it. This is that we have to stop. Anna puts on her like uh her turtleneck.

SPEAKER_00

She's like putting creeping blood in this box.

SPEAKER_13

So hot.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13

That's hot. Um, damn. Fuck. Yes.

SPEAKER_06

Just a little peek into our life.

SPEAKER_13

Just a little peek behind the turtleneck.

SPEAKER_15

Little get in the turtleneck. When you I would like to do the comedy pull on my turtleneck and steam comes up.

SPEAKER_10

She'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_15

Uh 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_10

And steam was coming out of their ears. Kathy was there going, Arrrrrrrrr. Kathy.

SPEAKER_05

Garfield. I found out eating a lasagna.

SPEAKER_13

No, 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_06

Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. She's like to show me a picture later.

SPEAKER_13

I will. I got lots of pictures.

SPEAKER_06

That's the whole camera.

SPEAKER_13

I had AI do a whole thing. No, no. Um, yeah, I worked um, I worked Elizabeth Holmes into the Gump uh script.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, nice.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, I thought she was necessary. Yeah, it was very good.

SPEAKER_15

Thank you. Thank you, sir. Yeah, she was like the college dorm mate of Gump Jr.'s girlfriend.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, like they're fucking and she walks in and she's like, oh my god.

SPEAKER_06

She was panting.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, she was panting, and she's like a common ball. So yeah, begonia.

SPEAKER_06

Is there usually this much cum talk?

SPEAKER_15

No, 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_06

He 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_13

It's gone into his rectum, and then it turns into the mine.

SPEAKER_06

Or a mine, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah. And this is the sperm-up egg turning into a ping pong.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, very creative ways to turn these circular things into the phone.

SPEAKER_15

Like 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_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15

And 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_13

Can 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_06

Okay.

SPEAKER_13

There's this movie called Killing of a Sacred Deer. We love it.

SPEAKER_06

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_08

Okay, 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_13

Yeah. 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_06

Okay.

SPEAKER_13

Do 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_06

That'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_13

That's what's happening to me right now.

SPEAKER_06

I can describe it to you in my Elizabeth Holmes voice.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah. Are you gonna do it? Do it. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_06

I 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_13

He's he turned he got he got better.

SPEAKER_06

The 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_13

Yeah, 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_15

Um, mine is Land Before Time, and it's like when Littlefoot is like running towards his own shadow on the wall.

SPEAKER_06

I'm gonna start crying.

SPEAKER_15

He's like, Mother, mother, and then he gets closer and he realizes that it's just his own little shadow that was magnified.

SPEAKER_06

That 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_13

I watched that movie probably 400 times a time, too.

SPEAKER_15

I don't know. I just Oh, I watched it 400 times and I remember every fucking second of it.

SPEAKER_06

It 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_15

This 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_10

Yeah, it'll get sad.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, 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_13

He 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_12

Hey, how old is he?

SPEAKER_13

Let'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_06

Yeah, 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_13

Yeah, 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_15

You'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_06

Colin Farrell has like little cater caterpillars going on there.

SPEAKER_15

Um it was my first time, I think, really seeing um what's his name? Billy Keegan. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

That was my introduction to him too, I think.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, and he's a weirdo. He is a weirdo. He is a demon. Yeah, I think.

SPEAKER_06

Has he fucked up ever not played a weirdo?

SPEAKER_15

Um, in um the Sabrina Carpenter music video.

SPEAKER_06

He was kind of a weirdo then too.

SPEAKER_15

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_06

I don't know. He was he was a criminal. They're all weirdos.

SPEAKER_15

Wow. I'm just kidding. Whoa.

SPEAKER_00

Bagogna barely talked about it.

SPEAKER_15

Sinners. 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_09

Uh 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_13

That's all like Save the Cat Guy.

SPEAKER_09

You learn what he talks like. Harry Carrie.

SPEAKER_01

If you were a vampire and you were starving, would you break into a Duke Jordan and start sucking the life out of it?

SPEAKER_09

Or would you let the Irish guy in? Would you let the white guy in?

SPEAKER_15

Um, that guy, the Irish guy? Yeah.

SPEAKER_13

Um he's fucking he's uh he's Jimmy from 28 years later.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13

What a year.

SPEAKER_15

What a year.

SPEAKER_13

What 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_15

All 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_06

It was amazing, yeah.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

And 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_15

Yeah, 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_13

Yeah. 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_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13

And I was like, this rocks the whole time. I was just like, this fucking rocks.

SPEAKER_06

I 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_13

And it doesn't show up until like the last like third of the movie, which is great, yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, 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_15

Yeah, 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_06

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_15

Um the sorry no no no.

SPEAKER_06

I 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_13

You 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_06

I didn't think you just do it.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, 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_05

Okay. Yeah, no, it sounds it sounds the same with my mom.

SPEAKER_15

Exactly. Okay, or I'm my mom. Well, well, you are your mom.

SPEAKER_06

With the lip gloss. Okay.

SPEAKER_15

Um, 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_10

Yeah, and then all these kids are getting their dick sucked by a grandma.

SPEAKER_13

And 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_06

Yeah, 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_02

Why does my mouth taste like 16 dicks?

SPEAKER_06

Why is my mouth full of she opens her mouth and just what is this?

SPEAKER_13

And yeah, and then the post they recruit her, they're like, we're building a team for the choking game.

unknown

There's this choking game.

SPEAKER_13

I don't know.

SPEAKER_15

Isn't that all about the made up Oprah thing? I thought you were talking about like the Hunger Games or something.

SPEAKER_06

No, but it's with the wieners.

SPEAKER_15

No, it's like another high school like urban legend of what kids were doing. They were like taking choking each other out.

SPEAKER_13

They were choking each other out and like seeing if they would like survive.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, okay. Got it.

SPEAKER_13

Um anyway, so that's called freak trapping.

SPEAKER_15

So you have the same thing with the parent trap that you did with sinners.

SPEAKER_06

In 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_13

Yeah, Anna looked at Jordan and she's like, Michael B both guys?

SPEAKER_15

It'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_06

Oh, that's very good too. Very good jokes, guys. Thank you.

SPEAKER_15

Thank you. That's what we do.

SPEAKER_13

We're texting like nonstop before this. Yeah, we gotta like really impressive. We gotta like, yeah, dial in some real hot zingers.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, 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_13

That'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_06

What is a rainbow party?

SPEAKER_15

Rainbow 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_13

Um 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_15

I 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_13

Yeah. 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.

unknown

Right.

SPEAKER_13

That boy is very different. In Pet Cemetery?

SPEAKER_07

I love you, daddy.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, that's the movie though. The book, that's sometimes a company.

SPEAKER_06

I read the book. I didn't see the movie.

SPEAKER_13

But that's what's scary about the book, I feel like. They make they do it better in the book.

SPEAKER_06

And by day, I mean I remember being very scared reading like the last few chapters when everything was like really going down.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, 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_15

Hey, Sam, Hannah.

SPEAKER_06

Lots of shout-outs tonight.

SPEAKER_13

But she we were both uh saying, like, we're afraid that we're gonna have fucked up kids.

SPEAKER_11

Because you're so insane and fucked up personally.

SPEAKER_06

Maybe it'll balance out and like Yeah, maybe it'll be a normie.

SPEAKER_11

Would 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_15

When you think about what kind of kid you want to have, don't look at me.

SPEAKER_06

I'd want like a weirdo for sure.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, real funny.

SPEAKER_06

But not like a like a school shooter, you know?

SPEAKER_15

Not that kind of fucking no, like a like a CEO shooter. Oh, okay, alright.

SPEAKER_06

Like a Luigi, yeah.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13

But 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_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And he took a bad head off of somebody else's show. Hey!

SPEAKER_06

What'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_13

We started you started the movie podcast, and I'm along for the ride. Um I'm here for the tang.

SPEAKER_06

You 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_13

It's the ultimate fucked up kid movie.

SPEAKER_06

Wowza.

SPEAKER_13

It's Tilda Swinton, too. Yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Um, 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_03

Oh 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_04

Oh, don't worry, Tilda. Uh he's fine.

SPEAKER_13

That'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_15

Alright. 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_02

And I was like, then just call it Hamlet if they're the Was it originally Hamnet?

SPEAKER_06

Like when he first wrote it, and then it changed. They're the same.

SPEAKER_13

I 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_06

So uh why did they go with Hamnet for the movie?

SPEAKER_15

Because his son's name is Hamnet and his son dies.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I know that. Okay.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah. But I was like, just do Hamlet and make that movie. Because that's already a thing.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15

It'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_13

Yeah, 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_06

That'd be good. Or the other way around, back to Brad Pitt.

SPEAKER_13

Benjamin Button. Benjamin. The opposite way. Benjamin Button. Do it.

SPEAKER_00

Do the thing.

SPEAKER_13

How old are you?

SPEAKER_00

How old are you?

SPEAKER_09

Seven. Seven. But I look a lot older.

SPEAKER_13

I love I love Benjamin Button. I like the end when they're like, some people were born to dance.

SPEAKER_10

And some people were born to swim. And some people were just born to love.

SPEAKER_02

God, what a dog shit movie.

SPEAKER_13

There's so many movies. It was good when I saw it. I and that was definitely like 15, but I loved it.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I saw it in theater, so I I think I was like probably.

SPEAKER_15

It was like late teens, I think.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15

So 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_06

Like for best picture? Yeah. I'd say it's F1. If that won, I'd be like, what are we doing?

SPEAKER_15

I don't think that's gonna win.

SPEAKER_06

I don't think so either. I think it'll win for like sound editing, maybe like stuff like that.

SPEAKER_15

And 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_06

Sure.

SPEAKER_15

They 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_13

And 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_06

Yeah, I don't see that winning.

SPEAKER_13

No, 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_15

Yeah, 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_13

Yeah, 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_06

So 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_13

You don't need it's okay, just ignore me. I'm not important.

SPEAKER_06

You're so important. Who else would talk about cum this much if you weren't here?

SPEAKER_13

Probably a lot of people. Like you get a lot of guys talking about cum.

SPEAKER_15

If you listen to any two white guy podcasts, probably 30% of the time they're talking about cum. Yeah, that's fair.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. Anyway.

SPEAKER_15

Um, 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_13

Yeah, 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_06

But um because she didn't win the Golden Globe, right? Or did she?

SPEAKER_13

I I don't know, but I just remember being like, that's like so high.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15

I 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_06

She's just oh, I was confusing her with someone else, but yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, she's just like top to bottom, like one of the best actors I've seen working, uh, I think today. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, 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_06

Oh, yeah. She just won something.

SPEAKER_13

She fucking rules. She's so fucking cool in that movie. Gladys, yes. Gladys is such such a good character. So iconic. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

She 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_13

Um 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_08

And he's like, I'm gonna build a baseball field so that my dad can come as a ghost.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, that's nice.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's good. His dad is Raleo.

SPEAKER_06

I've never seen that movie.

SPEAKER_13

It's wild.

SPEAKER_06

I also confused it with the Robin Williams movie where he walks into the paintings. What is that called?

SPEAKER_13

What dreams may be.

SPEAKER_06

I 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_15

If 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_13

No, 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_06

Nocturnally, yeah.

SPEAKER_13

It 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_05

Wow.

SPEAKER_13

Because he didn't technically have sex, but he still had Airbnb. But yeah, he still ruined the ruined.

SPEAKER_06

The whole Airbnb.

SPEAKER_13

They don't have mattress covers in Japan. That's against their religion.

SPEAKER_15

That'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_00

That's right.

SPEAKER_15

This year, Conan O'Brien, uh, I believe for his second year.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_15

Before that, another late night host, Jimmy Kimmel. No, 2022, a funny little mix-up. Three hosts Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it was bad.

SPEAKER_15

I don't remember that at all.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I don't remember liking it very much.

SPEAKER_15

Um, for three years before that, no host whatsoever.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15

You had your COVID Oscars.

SPEAKER_06

Very awkward Oscars.

SPEAKER_15

Jimmy Kimmel for two years before that.

SPEAKER_06

Yep.

SPEAKER_15

Chris Rock hosted in 2005 and 2016. Whoopi Goldberg hosted in 94, 96, 99, and 2002.

SPEAKER_05

Wow.

SPEAKER_15

Damn. 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_06

I yeah, every year I'm like, just have Billy Crystal do it again. And my mom says the same exact thing.

SPEAKER_13

That sounds like an old person's.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I thought she was like, and she says the same exact thing.

SPEAKER_06

Why doesn't Billy Crystal host the Oscar?

SPEAKER_02

I thought you asked her why doesn't he host, and she says the same thing.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, no, no, no. She agrees with me.

SPEAKER_15

I 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_00

Oh, that was an era. Yeah.

SPEAKER_13

I feel like that was back when like the meatball shop was popular. Was it like 2012?

SPEAKER_15

2011, yeah. Okay. 2012, Billy Crystal came back, then 2013, Seth McFarlane, 2014, Ellen de Generous. That selfie.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, 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_02

That was when I still liked Kevin Spacey.

SPEAKER_06

And Kevin Spacey, yeah. Yeah, it's the worst people you've got.

SPEAKER_02

Harvey Weinstein.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah. Hey, that picture is still up in my head. Neil Patrick Harris after that.

SPEAKER_06

Okay.

SPEAKER_15

Um, 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_06

Very 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_13

It'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_06

Wow, you are good with the dates.

SPEAKER_13

I 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_06

He did a very good, yeah, like musical performance.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Um, 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_15

Those 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_05

Wow. Yeah.

SPEAKER_13

That was before the allegations came out. Suck my brows. Yes, yes, and also Eric Cartman famously hosted the Oscars in 1997.

SPEAKER_02

That was so fucking edgy when he did it.

SPEAKER_13

It 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_15

Hello? Dude, Jude's notoriously rude to customer service employees.

SPEAKER_06

Um, did you file a complaint with Buffalo Wild Wings?

SPEAKER_13

I did.

SPEAKER_06

What happened?

SPEAKER_13

The guy showed up and it took two hours and the the the wings were open and cold.

SPEAKER_05

Oh.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, yeah. It was probably worse. That was uh worse than like when that blimp exploded, the Hindenburg. Oh yeah, the humanity. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

I was wondering which tragedy you were gonna pick, and I'm glad you went with that one.

SPEAKER_15

The one with the blimp. This is the first time he's brought up the Hindenburg.

SPEAKER_13

It'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_06

It was a challenger. Yeah, fair.

SPEAKER_13

That that old chestnut. I don't know.

SPEAKER_15

Crack it right open.

SPEAKER_13

That old chestnut. Uh no, it wasn't the Nickelodeon blimp disaster in 1997.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13

Um what were we talking about?

SPEAKER_15

Uh 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_13

I 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_15

Yeah, 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_06

I 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_15

Yeah, that wouldn't be bad. Um, I was thinking um Jake from State Farm. Jake from State Farm.

SPEAKER_06

Both of them co-host yeah, the like Jake's from State Farm.

SPEAKER_13

Jake'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_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15

Uh, what about Shane Gillis?

SPEAKER_05

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_15

Sure. How like they put Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl as you put Shane Gillis at the house.

SPEAKER_13

It's gonna work. I honestly like that's that's not even weird to me.

SPEAKER_15

I'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_06

I was gonna say, I thought Jimmy Fallon had hosted, but I guess not. I think I was just thinking of Jimmy Kimmel.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah. They could do Mr. Beast, but he has a gun or something. Right.

SPEAKER_15

He 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_02

If you're going to host a show, put away your belly.

SPEAKER_05

That's the whole show.

SPEAKER_02

Do you know this? Oh, it's the best.

SPEAKER_05

It's the best clip of all time.

SPEAKER_02

Putaway your belly. Oh, sir, you couldn't be more wrong. I love being up. Oh, it's so good.

SPEAKER_06

It's so good. You have to watch it after this. Oh, hell yeah. We'll make you watch it.

SPEAKER_02

I'll watch that. It's a catfight between James Corden and Sir Patrick Stewart.

SPEAKER_13

And 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_06

Oh, that's nice. That's all they do. There's like no speaking at all.

SPEAKER_13

It's like awkward. Like someone like runs out to give them something and like, what the fuck are you doing here?

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, they try to make the whole thing into like an elevated joke about how shitty they are, but it's just like uncomfortable.

SPEAKER_13

The 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_15

And with all that, we wrap up this year's Squeakels Oscar special. Squeakels Anna's birthday special. Anna, happy birthday.

SPEAKER_06

Thank you. Thank you so much. This was such a pleasure. Thank you for having me.

SPEAKER_13

I 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_15

Um 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_13

Okay, good, good, good.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Thanks, all. Bye. Bye.

SPEAKER_13

Great, 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.
