1:32

night. It's

1:35

a dark night. Dark

1:39

night. It's

1:57

2:17

What's going on everybody? Welcome to On Screen Live.

2:19

My name is Andrew Jupin and this is our

2:21

show for Monday the 29th of April. We

2:24

can even believe it. In the year of our Lord, 2024.

2:27

Can't forget that. I hope you all had

2:29

a great weekend. We had a blast

2:31

down in Hotlanta last week. If you

2:34

were there, you know what I'm talking

2:36

about. Hey, good day

2:38

to be a New York sports fan, my

2:40

friends. Nick's win, Ranger's sweep,

2:43

Yankee's kicking the shit out of the brewers yesterday.

2:45

It was just a great day to be alive. And

2:48

I'm going to bring in some of my buds here. We're

2:50

going to talk about some movies that

2:52

we've seen and whatnot. First up, here's

2:54

a dude who's glad to be alive every day,

2:56

Mr. Steven Zadak. It's a

2:58

real treat every day. A surprise,

3:01

but a treat. Yeah.

3:05

The New York Knickerbocker. So how about it? Hey,

3:07

how about that, dude? How about that Jalen Brunson

3:09

fucking 47 points in the playoff game? Love it.

3:11

We are just turning off all of our fans

3:14

right now. Well,

3:16

unless there's any Nick fans out there. That is

3:18

possible. Possible. Possible. You got back

3:20

from Hotland and One Piece. I see that's good.

3:22

Sure did. Yeah. Don't get ready

3:25

for, I have a. So

3:27

nobody knows this, but I'm going to Los

3:29

Angeles this week for my brother's wedding. Hell

3:31

yeah. Mark Zadak coming back for a week

3:33

and then going to Houston and Austin. So

3:35

it's just been kind of a

3:37

crazy couple of weeks for this. Yeah. He's just

3:39

a busy little beaver, dude. Busy man. Uh,

3:42

speaking of busy man, our blonde

3:44

man, our mustachioed man. We love him

3:46

so much. Take a look here. Welcome

3:49

to the show, Eric Siska. Oh,

3:59

no. Uh, it would appear Eric's

4:01

gone drinking. Mmm. That's it,

4:04

yeah. No, Eric can't be here today,

4:06

of course, but that's totally fine. He's

4:09

off getting a little downtime. Listen, like, we're

4:11

getting old, man. These trips on the road

4:14

take it out of use. Oh, no. He's

4:16

in a back to tank right now, reliving

4:19

all of his exposition, except

4:21

instead of the back to water that's in it, it's

4:23

actually surveys that Cristal is in the tank. Oh, yeah.

4:26

He's in a tank of beer right now, folks. God

4:28

willing. And here's someone

4:30

who I know is swimming in a tank of beer in his

4:33

day, Mr. Chris Gavin. Nobody

4:35

wants to admit it in Hollywood, but

4:37

this is the plain truth. Quincy Jones

4:39

steals toilet paper. He will come to

4:41

your house, go to your upstairs bathroom

4:43

and take all the stuff underneath the

4:45

faucet, not just the stuff on the

4:47

holder, the stuff underneath, and he will

4:49

take it and he will bring it

4:51

home. This is how he has amassed

4:53

the fortune he has. I know that we did it.

4:56

Oh, sorry, guys. Scott

4:59

Herron. He's great. He's

5:01

fantastic. He's a good piece. So,

5:03

yeah, I'm good. I assume Eric

5:06

is then pretty pruney if he's in

5:08

a survey for Cristal. Yeah, that's true.

5:10

It's probably getting to a pretty, you

5:12

know, not great looking. I know he's

5:14

all about his appearance, so I don't

5:16

want him to get too musty from

5:18

there. Could start looking

5:20

like one of the vampires from Blade that not

5:22

the one he likes to see. No, no, no,

5:24

no, no, no, no, not any of the sexy

5:27

ones. No, but we'll see. We wish

5:29

him luck on his recovery. And also, we welcome you in

5:31

here to the chat. Of course, all

5:33

those folks out there, Nico

5:35

Fish, Achance42, Greg Bafuto, Anso

5:37

Rachel, Zebz364, Carlisle

5:40

Commons, Johnny Pomato,

5:42

just did Johnny Pomato's show

5:45

authorized last week. So

5:48

that's coming out, I think, sometime in May. Fun

5:51

as fuck time talking to those guys about,

5:53

dude, I read a four children Tim

5:56

Burton, Plano the Apes adaptation. Dude,

5:58

it's fucking. better than the movie

6:01

man. How long did that take?

6:03

A couple weeks? Oh yeah, yep,

6:05

yep. It was like it was

6:07

like heretics of Dune, 2001 Planet

6:09

of the Apes adaptation, kind of

6:11

right there. We

6:13

got some birthdays to get to today and then some movies

6:15

to talk about and some box offices to go over here

6:17

of course. First up, Honoring the Dead

6:19

and what would have been her 107th birthday

6:22

avant-garde filmmaker Maya Darren. I

6:26

think a theater in like Pittsburgh or

6:28

something had like a Maya Darren

6:31

birthday party and they played a bunch of

6:33

her films on 16th. I mean there's nothing more

6:35

avant-garde than being dead. I mean that is just

6:37

so in your face. Hell

6:39

yeah dude. Just like your left turn like

6:42

oh you think this person's alive? I don't

6:44

think so they're dead. Fucking

6:46

dead, left turn. Truly boundary pushing

6:49

to be dead. Someone who is

6:51

definitely not dead still going strong.

6:53

Happy 91st birthday to the

6:56

red-headed stranger himself Willie Nelson. Goddamn

6:59

that guy's just sailing on

7:01

good vibes and fucking cannabis smoke man and that's

7:03

how I want to fucking, if I'm lucky enough

7:06

to get to 91 that's what it's got to

7:08

be dude. Do you think he remembers doing anything

7:10

for the Beyonce record or is it just? No.

7:12

No it's just gone right? It's just immediately out

7:14

the door yeah probably. Actually I bet you he's

7:16

one of those dudes that like even with all

7:18

the the cannabis he's still like whip smart with

7:21

the memory. I had like an

7:23

incredibly chatty Uber driver that was when

7:25

I was going to Atlanta taking

7:28

me to Newark and Newark

7:30

Airport and was just he

7:33

couldn't remember Willie Nelson and I didn't give a

7:35

shit so he kept being like like

7:37

that guy oh god it's gonna

7:39

kill me. I got it it's

7:42

Waylon Nelson I love him he's

7:44

fantastic. All these like

7:46

esoteric Willie Nelson facts as opposed to what you'd want

7:48

like it was it was like the worst scape of

7:50

password I'm trying to think like

7:52

oh he's just you know he's got long

7:54

hair he's like uh he sings mamas don't let

7:57

your babies grow up to be cowboys I'm like

7:59

I don't No, that could be anybody. He was in

8:02

wag the dog anybody

8:06

Yeah, he played James Kahn's father

8:08

figure in the film thief. Oh,

8:10

then I would done So

8:14

this dude Remembered all this shit about

8:16

Willie Nelson include not his own titles. Yes, but

8:18

could not it's just like oh man I can't

8:20

get it. Like why don't we just fucking drive

8:23

and let's forget about eyes on the road, dude

8:25

This sounds like it's gonna be a dangerous adventure

8:27

Oh Happy

8:29

88 birthday to a

8:32

we hate movies favorite total

8:34

legend Lane Smith. Oh Still

8:37

8:42

8:46

now all our older actors have a hell

14:46

you've been so important to the movie business

14:48

as Juri of has been you need to

14:50

listen to him when he says that the

14:52

movie or over like you gotta you have

14:54

to respect the he's made a whole to

14:56

movies in his life and that is very

14:58

important. Something

15:01

is known as a better way to do. Things

15:04

I've been them in your home and

15:06

auto insurance it all says oh, I'm

15:08

going to the grocery store for males

15:10

instead of buying on cow. Eyes

15:13

and easier on. That will save us.

15:16

It's funny side st when you find

15:18

a home auto. With Moscow. Sonos

15:21

sitting side by state and are not available in every

15:23

state, saving up to twenty five percent of the country

15:25

by tap into the maximum available savings of the Hum

15:27

policy. Also vehicle and property insurance company and affiliates not

15:29

like Illinois. I

15:32

trust him about movies and I trust

15:34

months was arrested jobs that's how that

15:36

goes and it's just a secret. You

15:39

don't know. Of course as huge as you're

15:41

just goofing, there was Marty same some that

15:43

of us. Not an hour to get a.

15:45

Skillet. Isn't it enough dude

15:47

to have created one of, if not the

15:50

greatest sitcom of all time? Light. Calico.

15:52

Arrest on that. Count your billion

15:54

to the be. Discouraged. Really

15:57

the blacks and also. Why? Are

15:59

you pissed off? About the the

16:01

the you know woke college kids now

16:04

as you say like are you married

16:06

well? He's

16:08

not I think his wife is very much age

16:10

appropriate these days Congratulations

16:13

on making the same jokes 60,000 other

16:15

people I had to I have it's

16:18

my impulse How

16:20

was even saying about it? I don't know

16:22

Jerry Oh like people like our age end

16:24

up like well up into

16:27

Jerry's age bracket are still

16:29

helping him sell out The beacon theater here in New

16:31

York and all these residencies like you're not

16:33

hard up dude So I don't know what the

16:36

problem is for you. It's very confusing

16:38

ego It's I

16:40

mean, it's a pretty easy answer. He's got

16:42

to do you go the size of a

16:44

fucking tank Like do you think it's because

16:46

he started writing a bunch of material like

16:48

for that group and they they're not coming

16:50

He's like I wrote all these

16:52

jokes and now the audience doesn't get it

16:54

cuz they're not here I mean they probably

16:56

can't I mean at least when like because

16:58

he's been complaining about this for a while

17:00

This has been essentially since post-pandemic. He's been

17:02

doing this And I

17:05

assume they went and saw it and didn't laugh and

17:07

he got you know pissed He just

17:09

yeah awesome do like if your material doesn't

17:12

work. It's their problem not yours. So

17:14

therefore I mean I've

17:16

been so over the Comedian

17:21

as the Gentle

17:23

sage of culture I

17:27

Would weigh over that like since like I can't it

17:30

like I just accidentally I was a sports podcast They

17:32

had a comedian on and then they it

17:34

was a nice comedian that I like I'm not gonna even say was that you

17:36

like the comedian and we're just doing the normal like

17:39

Talking about being a comedian. I'm so

17:41

bored by all of this. Yeah,

17:44

I've heard this interview one trillion

17:46

times Just move on and

17:48

actually just tell jokes would be fucking Fantastic

17:50

just focus on being funny. You're

17:53

not fucking guiding a generation of

17:55

people through a desert or something

17:58

No, you think you're doing by? telling

18:00

your truth on stage, like it's

18:02

all about a fucking plane that got delayed

18:04

or my fucking dog did this, the other,

18:07

just make people laugh and just stop

18:09

it. Just, and

18:11

when you're a billionaire, double stop it.

18:13

How about that? You don't have to be George

18:15

Garland. You don't. No, fine. Exactly.

18:19

Like, sorry you couldn't be. Right? Carlin,

18:21

insanely popular with all groups right up till

18:23

his death. Sorry, that's not you. But

18:25

not everybody can be George. Anyway,

18:28

let's see what's going around the box office today.

18:30

Something that the Pop-Tart movie next weekend

18:32

will not have anything to do with Netflix streaming

18:34

only, eat shit and die. Here we go. This

18:37

is highest gross. All

18:49

right. Here we go. Interesting

18:51

top five. And boy, first of all, fellas, we

18:54

should be thankful that Eric's taken the day off

18:56

because Kung Fu

18:59

Panda 4 down to like seven or something.

19:01

Oh, no. So he, I'm

19:05

glad I didn't have to break the news to him in person. Look,

19:08

look, that's probably why he took the day off. Yeah.

19:11

Probably saw he woke up this morning, you know, he gets right on

19:13

it, right to the paper. Chuck's variety immediately.

19:15

Oh, absolutely. Oh, my baby's down. My baby's

19:17

gone. Well, maybe he's like, if I see

19:19

it enough the next week, maybe I could

19:22

bump it back up to six or five.

19:24

Maybe. Maybe I get it back

19:26

there. The plan is going well. He's in his fourth

19:28

month. Yeah. If he can make it to fifth, I'd

19:31

be really impressed. Someone

19:33

in the chat asking if I'm mad at

19:36

Netflix or Pop-Tarts. What do you think? Of

19:38

course, Netflix. I'd

19:40

never be mad at a delicious Pop-Tart. That's

19:42

crazy. Oh, look at this. A

19:46

little, look at this hilarious spam. Oh,

19:48

here. Look at that. Look

19:51

at that. Thank you so much, Twitch. Look at that.

19:53

Yeah. Yeah.

19:55

Courtly, courtly, wealth,

19:58

whatever. All right. on

20:00

guys first up at five. We'll

20:02

be reviewing it a little later in the show,

20:04

but Abigail new one from

20:06

radio silence in its second weekend, hanging

20:09

on here with 5.3 mil puts it up to 19

20:12

mil domestic. It's

20:15

got a ways to go. It's got a ways to

20:17

go. I feel this is going to be a rental market

20:20

thing because like the, the, the

20:23

ecosystem was just a wash with

20:25

horror these last few weeks. You

20:27

know, I, I, yeah, people

20:29

will find this movie on streaming and I,

20:31

I think that'll be my review, but yes,

20:33

it's to find, find a theaters now. But

20:35

yeah, I think that I think people will

20:37

find this is streaming for sure. Yeah, exactly.

20:39

Um, and just to go back to, uh,

20:41

two weeks ago when I did the box

20:43

office poll, we didn't have one last week

20:45

because we were away. Uh, congratulations

20:48

to the 14% of folks who were

20:50

with deadline in their 12 million

20:53

or under its first weekend was a little bit of an

20:55

under showing. I think it did like 10 or

20:57

something like that. So that was the, the Patreon poll

21:00

there, but we'll talk about the show or the movie

21:02

a little more later in the show. Little

21:04

more later, have some more coffee. Uh, here

21:07

we go. Civil war. Alex

21:09

Garland's masterpiece

21:12

wins in this. I it's been a couple of weeks.

21:14

We can spoil it. Who wins? Is it Iron Man

21:17

or is it Captain America? Like who, who could we

21:19

just say now? Oh, well, he was a captain America.

21:21

I was defeated with his own shield. If you could

21:23

even believe it. That was what happened

21:25

there. Iron Man beat him to death with it. Oh,

21:30

Judy fucking, uh, the vanishing remakes

21:32

him with it. Oh, Jesus. Yup.

21:34

Yup. Uh, this did another seven mil. So now

21:37

we're looking at the 56 mil, uh, domestic 76

21:39

global on a $50 million

21:43

budget. So, you

21:45

know, do TV move,

21:47

do TV. What's your

21:49

good act? Come on, Alex. Come on,

21:52

baby. That was great. It's

21:54

what I, and I think both these last

21:56

two would have been much more interesting as

21:58

TV, like what missing is the guy.

22:00

And you have to pick the guts out to make it a

22:03

good looking movie, I guess. Well, I'll tell you, I

22:05

mean you're totally right about this next one, Chris, here

22:07

at number three because this kind of shit did make

22:09

for a better TV show than movie in this case.

22:12

Godzilla X-Kong

22:14

compared to, you know, Monarch, which the

22:16

first season of I liked much more.

22:19

This still hanging out of a 7.2 million here. This

22:23

is interesting. So 75% of this movie funded

22:25

by Legendary over Warner Brothers, so it's a

22:27

legendary movie. Legendary's got the two

22:29

biggest movies of the year. This, Dune Part 2,

22:31

was also them. So

22:33

it's gonna be a great fucking holiday

22:35

bonus season. I don't know

22:37

what the Legendary is. I would just watch

22:40

out for like Blood Eclipses or whatever because

22:42

Dan Stevens is in two of the top

22:44

five grossing films in a weekend. Hell yeah,

22:46

dude. That scares the shit out of me.

22:50

I mean, that's the monkey's paw though.

22:52

He can't lead one. If

22:54

you lead one, it goes completely to pot.

22:57

If he's in it, he can still, he can

22:59

get past the witch. I do, I will say

23:02

this later too, but I think Dan Stevens is,

23:04

it kills it in Abigail. He's so good at

23:06

that. Really good. Yeah, hell yeah. So,

23:08

in at number two, the reliable

23:10

Christian audience such as they are,

23:13

they will come out- No,

23:15

not again. Not again. They will

23:17

come out for things no one else has heard of outside of

23:19

your fucking local church bulletin. Lionsgate

23:22

presents Unsung Hero. Okay.

23:26

This Unsung Hero motion picture, $7.8

23:28

million debut. Could

23:33

you put the poster back up there? What

23:35

for King and Country film? A

23:38

for King and Country film, right? Is

23:40

that the directing pair? Is that a

23:42

radio silence type situation? If

23:44

so, that's pretty bad, I got to say.

23:46

Pretty bad name, I think. I'm

23:49

looking at it up here because that's very funny and I hadn't

23:51

even thought of it. Richard

23:53

Ramsey and Joel Smallbone are

23:55

credited with directing. Which one's

23:57

God and which one's Country?

24:01

Yeah, does it say like credited as God in

24:04

country? Come on IMDB. Why are you

24:06

so fucking terrible? That would really be bad. Yeah,

24:08

no, it's just co-director. Damn. That

24:11

would have been really funny. This

24:13

is like this. It's the same group of people that

24:16

did like Jesus Revolution among

24:18

some of the other ones. So whatever. Those

24:20

folks got to go out and enjoy a movie.

24:22

That's fine. Is Kelsey Grammer in this one too?

24:24

Did they sneak him in? Not

24:28

that I saw, I believe these are Australian

24:30

people in this movie. They're

24:34

all based on true stories, right? But

24:37

this shit, I mean, these guys know

24:39

what they like. 8-plus cinema score. Unsurprisingly

24:42

51% of the audience was over 55 years old. You

24:46

do not say. Yeah. Because they

24:48

bring them in by the busload. Community

24:50

centers are like, we're going to the movies.

24:52

This is your fucking outing for the weekend. I

24:55

didn't want to see unshun here. Everybody just

24:57

see Abigail, god damn it. It's

25:02

really interesting how much money that

25:04

Universal Warner Brothers and Paramount have

25:07

been putting into retirement homes. They're

25:10

just like buying them up by the handful. Just

25:12

a bunch of them. And Foxes too with the

25:14

logo on the side. I don't know, guys. That's

25:17

some fucking interesting scandal that I'd love to

25:19

see actually go down. And

25:21

at number one, we'll talk

25:23

about it in depth momentarily or

25:26

a little later. Challengers.

25:28

Luca Guadagnino's new one

25:31

from Amazon MGM here.

25:33

It did $15 million, not

25:36

too shabby, kind of

25:38

like right in on its tracking. This

25:40

is the biggest debut for a

25:43

Luca Guadagnino movie. And

25:45

this is the biggest Zendaya

25:47

debut in a non-IP

25:50

motion picture. I'm not counting the Spider-Mans and

25:52

the Dune and whatnot. It did better than

25:54

Small Foot is what you're saying? Small

25:58

Foot. Oh, yes. The

26:00

animated, uh, which

26:02

I don't remember for that hilarious internet

26:05

video of Zendaya Ismichi. Uh, if you

26:07

remember that from a couple of years

26:09

ago, ask your parents about it. Yeah. Yeah.

26:11

Mm-hmm. So it was, it was Zendaya.

26:14

Was there a Chris Pratt involved in

26:16

that? There was LeBron, LeBron James was,

26:18

I think, if not the lead, like

26:20

really involved. Yeah. We might

26:22

want to check that out for a day for

26:24

maybe a, where stuff coming up. Yeah. God

26:27

damn. Zendaya is

26:30

Michi. She absolutely was. Um,

26:33

and she was also very good in this movie we'll talk

26:35

about in a second. So there you go. There's the box

26:37

office again. Sorry to Eric. Fucking

26:39

kung fu panda for a dude. RIP Po.

26:41

I look, I hope he's spending today in

26:44

theaters with his friend. That's all I know.

26:46

They're close. I hope he's got his, his

26:48

pepper and his popcorn and he's sitting there

26:50

and it's him and Po are just having

26:52

a day of it. No, yeah. I'm sure

26:54

he's doing just fine. Uh, but,

26:57

uh, you know, it could have been worse.

26:59

I mean, it's still at seven, how many

27:01

weeks out you could have been, uh, the

27:03

fuck was that movie Chris boy kills world

27:05

that came out this week. Tent.

27:09

I've never, I've seen

27:11

the poster and people are like, you know, it's

27:13

coming out. I've never, I've never, I've never gone

27:15

to the movies a lot. TV pic,

27:18

not a trailer, not nearly a trailer. Have

27:20

I seen more trailers on TV? I have

27:22

not seen any of any odd movies. I've

27:24

seen a lot on TV. I'm not kidding.

27:26

I've never seen the trailer for that movie

27:28

and I've never seen the commercial or anything.

27:31

I've just seen the poster and I'm like,

27:33

is what, huh? Nobody should see it and

27:35

nobody will see it as my general hope

27:37

here, but we don't know, we'll see the

27:39

poster looks like you remember those, like it wasn't

27:42

Tekken, but it was like, uh, Oh God,

27:44

what does it called? Like, uh,

27:47

the dragon ball Z movie. No, no,

27:49

even the lesser fighting. Oh, take that.

27:52

Okay. I take it again. Take nothing again. Use

27:54

burped on the air. Oops. Uh, that's what

27:56

I was 12, 16 times that episode. Uh,

28:00

like King of the King of

28:02

the fighters. What I'm talking about, like those

28:04

lesser than lesser street fighter games. Like there's

28:07

like Mortal Kombat and street fighters to your

28:09

Tekken's over here. You got

28:11

your clay fighter over here. And then you've got

28:13

this thing called King of the fighters and all

28:16

that stuff over all the way down here. Right.

28:18

Am I, am I making that up? But anyway, it

28:20

just like, it just looks like a fighting game. I

28:23

want nothing to do it. It looks like a fake

28:25

movie and all I saw of it was the poster.

28:27

I mean, I did not see a single trailer. I

28:29

did not see a single TV advertisement. It

28:31

was the one poster that they left in the

28:33

same light box at the theater on the upper

28:35

West side that I go to for

28:37

what seemed like months on end. I didn't follow the release

28:40

of this movie. I don't know if it got bumped at

28:42

any point, but like the poster

28:44

was starting to be weathered by the sunlight. You

28:46

know what I mean? Like it sat in the

28:48

same spot for months on end and like now

28:50

it was garbage and the movie still was not,

28:52

that was like three weeks ago. So

28:55

whatever. Yeah. It's a Bill Sarsgaard

28:57

movie. Yeah, sir. Hey,

29:00

cool. Hey, cool, man. I

29:02

did not see a single fucking trailer for it.

29:05

Uh, but we do have a trailer for

29:07

something that I am, I got to

29:09

say, incredibly fascinated by. We'll take a look at our

29:12

upcoming release here in a segment.

29:15

We like to call trailer segment. Did

29:28

you guys know that this summer, early

29:31

August, we're getting a new movie from

29:34

the king of suspense himself, M. Night

29:36

Shyamalan. Hell yes. I mean,

29:38

my man's back. I didn't mean like, there's

29:41

again, there's a school of thought that this

29:43

man never went away or that the

29:45

quality never dipped and that is complete dog shit.

29:47

I think that's false. That's a false assertion. You

29:50

can make bad like people have long careers. They have

29:52

good movies. They have bad movies. Yeah. Uh, no more

29:55

so than my good friend M. Night I

29:57

think from old was fun,

29:59

but. flawed that was kind

30:01

of and uh obvious and i think uh knock

30:04

at the cabin was a really flat

30:06

out great so i'm

30:08

really really excited for this and i'll say i think

30:10

like 60 of glass is a pretty good movie

30:13

the third act of that movie is some of the like most

30:17

like fizzle out disappointment shit it's one of

30:19

those like the big build up for

30:21

whatever and then it's like a tiny fight on

30:23

someone's front lawn and then the movie's over with

30:26

i mean i feel like that is going

30:28

that is what has caused all the reconsideration

30:30

are the endings and how they

30:32

play out and because those are always the things

30:34

that people are like it's it's two-thirds of a

30:37

really good movie and then but dupe it happens

30:40

uh and like i i

30:42

see uh situations

30:44

where that is true but there are

30:46

ones where i have softened i've liked

30:48

it going back to it more i

30:50

i'm now more or less a happening

30:52

defender um that took i i

30:55

went back to oh the suicide movie

30:57

with mark walmer one yeah actually it

30:59

got after seeing knock at the cabin

31:01

because they have similar like uh

31:04

material like that what's very similar yeah and

31:06

times kind of stuff it actually did help

31:08

it like i kind of what

31:10

knock at the cabin is talking about more tightly

31:12

and more like focused i think

31:15

happening is doing a little bit more looser uh

31:17

it it it suffers i

31:19

think from a mark walmer performance yeah

31:21

anything most mark walmer do i i

31:24

i had these last three or four

31:26

i've been really uh really jiving

31:28

what with what he's doing knock at

31:30

the cabin old and glass i've all

31:32

really liked it you know what though

31:34

chris i'm pretty sure knock at the

31:36

cabin did not have hot dog guy

31:38

did not that is a fair point

31:40

and it's the happening maybe has a

31:42

plus over it right there anyway uh

31:44

but this one this movie i watched the

31:47

trailer last weekend i got

31:49

pumped immediately i am a full-throated supporter

31:51

of the heart nettissant of course keep

31:53

this dude in movies fucking handsome son

31:56

of a bitch such as he is

31:59

um but i think I think this is an

32:01

interesting, interesting idea for a movie. So we have

32:03

it open here. Folks, if you're watching at

32:05

we go. This is Trap, it is wide

32:27

on 8, 9,

32:30

August the 9th from Warner Brothers, new one from M.

32:32

Night Shyamalan in 3, 2, 1, go. I

32:37

have a question, I'm going to use the

32:39

audience to help me out here. His

32:42

daughter is playing this pop star. Yes,

32:45

but it's a different daughter than the one

32:47

that directed the other movie that's coming out.

32:50

That's all I needed to know. I was confused by

32:52

that. I'm pretty sure it's two, I know he has

32:55

two daughters. Great year

32:57

for his kids, I guess. Yeah, you

32:59

know. This is

33:01

literally the best food for lunch. Look

33:04

how tall this dude is, by the way. Pretzel's

33:08

okay. You know what, somebody in

33:10

front of me at a nickname was eating a

33:12

friendship sandwich and O-Man did that stick. Nope,

33:15

Nope, Pretzel's totally fine. Yep, that's

33:17

about as hot as you want to go food

33:19

wise, you know what I mean? Get

33:21

some cheddar dip maybe for it. Yep. Oh,

33:24

you got some nice cheese on there, that's perfect. Oh,

33:27

here we go. This is, I mean

33:29

like, it's kind of cool, right?

33:32

Like, because it's basically you're getting the twist

33:34

out of the way. Yeah. Yeah.

33:37

I want him to take a huge shit if he has to go to

33:39

the bathroom. Right. Well

33:42

you know how the audio sort of cut out for the shot of

33:44

them eating the pretzel? Yeah. It should be

33:46

the same, he's just cut to a shot of him

33:48

like in the stall just taking the shit quietly. His

33:50

stomach starts burbling like, oh, antsy.

33:52

Yeah. He's a pretzel. Mmm.

34:01

I mean I got I am thrilled by this

34:03

idea from you know what I mean The

34:08

whole concert like wow they really want to get

34:10

this guy Do

34:16

you imagine this happening at a Taylor Swift

34:18

concert mm-hmm like goddamn The

34:22

twist but is it the only twist

34:24

well that's a great question. Oh

34:27

no probably not. I'm gonna guess

34:31

And this is such a great role for

34:33

Hartman like oh, yeah Still

34:36

has like you know teenage cute boy vibes

34:38

or whatever, but now he's gonna play a

37:51

or like do it? We

37:54

do a group watch the day of I'm like

37:56

I think I'm good and I will probably do

37:59

more than one But it's just like

38:01

that movies. It's right up here. It's all up

38:03

here You know I often have to like take

38:05

a bunch of Notes to

38:07

remember like how to guide us through the movie

38:09

and like plot points and shit. Yeah But

38:12

this you know yeah, I'm probably not I'm

38:15

just gonna be making some stray remarks on

38:17

my iPad Yeah, like it's all I Know

38:20

how that movie goes so yeah

38:23

very excited for that night one

38:25

in Houston night one in Austin

38:27

Houston It's our Houston coming out party.

38:29

It's our first time in Space City That's gonna be

38:31

a lot of fun, and then yeah, I returned to

38:33

Austin. It's been six years since we played

38:35

the North Door I think it was

38:38

so we will be at the Houston improv for the

38:40

Houston RoboCup show and we will be a cap city

38:42

comedy in Austin, Texas for

38:44

that from Dust Till Dawn show all

38:47

the ticket info and everything like that

38:49

head to our website WHM podcast comm

38:51

and for those who have been asking

38:53

because sometimes the club websites and ticketing

38:56

interfaces Don't make sense meet

38:58

and greets after both shows and that's the

39:01

whatever the VIP Tier is

39:03

whatever they call their highest thing. That's

39:05

the meet and greet But we will

39:07

be hanging out after both shows. It was

39:10

great honestly Steve. You said it best in

39:12

the Big Daddy Dispatch I think it was coming out either

39:16

today or soon, but um The

39:19

absolute best part of playing these shows is

39:21

going out like hearing from people you hearing

39:23

other people's stories the relationships to the show

39:26

Yotta all that stuff very very cool. So you don't

39:28

want to miss your opportunity to do that with this

39:31

Two nights in Texas that we're doing Alright

39:36

Two movies to review here one that's been out for a couple weeks,

39:38

but we do want to talk about it first

39:40

up We will talk about Abigail

39:43

from radio silence You

39:46

know, this is a fun a fun as hell

39:48

movie, you know, it's funny I've seen a lot

39:50

of people saying like oh gee, you know Why

39:53

did they have to tell us about the vampires or

39:55

whatever and when we were in Atlanta we got to

39:57

talking about oh Well, you know how did from dust

39:59

till day? Dawn do it and

40:01

from Dust till Dawn didn't. In the trailer it is

40:03

straight up there are Vompeers in this movie. There's no

40:05

way to do it. That's how you get people in

40:07

the States. Exactly. It's the only way to do it

40:09

unless you're just really loving because

40:12

also like that will only last a week.

40:14

So it's a rare part. You know what

40:16

I mean? Like yeah, exactly. Like

40:18

in the in the mid 90s, it probably

40:20

took like a little longer for that stuff

40:22

to get around. But nowadays, I mean, forget

40:24

it. No, it's it's November. But

40:27

yeah, it's I just think that the the

40:29

second hour once the constraints

40:31

are off and once the suspense is

40:33

gone as to what is going on.

40:36

It's yeah, so fucking fun.

40:38

And I I

40:41

love the way that the T is fooling around

40:43

with the vampire lore. It's it's

40:46

mostly on track, but there's some different stuff

40:48

that goes on that I'm into.

40:50

You know what I mean? I always I always

40:53

I'm curious why certain writers and

40:55

filmmakers choose X versus Y with vampire

40:57

lore. And I think that was fun.

41:01

Yeah, no. And it's we sort of hinted

41:04

at a little bit talking about Dan Stevens. But like,

41:07

what a casting job top

41:09

to bottom in this movie. Melissa Barrera is fucking

41:11

great. It's like the she sure

41:13

is and she should be in more movies.

41:15

Yep, she sure should be. You

41:18

know, she's basically like the main

41:21

character. We see the movie more

41:23

from her perspective than not. Dan

41:25

Stevens as like this ex cop

41:27

scumbag guy, man, it's great.

41:29

And it is so the

41:31

opposite of what was this

41:33

con character, Stoney? Oh, Trapper.

41:36

Trapper. Yes. You know,

41:38

it's so anti Trapper. He did see he's

41:40

so much fucking fun in this movie, but

41:43

he really does feel like a dude that's

41:45

going to send you on a mission in

41:47

Grand Theft Auto. Like, you know what I

41:49

mean? You just totally hey, so I need

41:51

you to go down and pick up some you

41:54

know, you just you're exactly great. All right, here's

41:56

the deal. You got to go down to the

41:58

sea park because the bad license plates

42:00

are coming in. I need Jews to pick up the

42:02

bad license plates and bring them back up to the

42:04

chop shop for something. Oh,

42:06

who cares if they're Argentinians? Just kill them

42:09

already. I mean... I

42:12

mean what I like about this movie is

42:14

that it has a very... It

42:16

feels like a Hammer movie. It like it feels

42:18

like a very quick setup and

42:21

most of it is about the characters that we have

42:23

are stuck with in this situation

42:25

and like yes, there

42:27

is much mystery to what is going on here like

42:30

it's like I didn't but I'm

42:32

not gonna say I got all of them, but most of the

42:34

twists I was like, oh, yeah, that's obviously but

42:37

like What that also doesn't

42:39

matter when you have good actors doing

42:42

your you know, these scenes these scenes are

42:44

in between and that's what I My

42:46

problem with Marvel my problem with all those

42:48

movies is the in-between scenes fucking suck Like

42:50

these do not these are actually these like

42:52

characters that have flaws and are talking about

42:54

the conflicts They're trying to deal with them

42:56

and there's some heartfelt performances in it. That's

42:58

all I really need That's I

43:01

don't need much more. I've never been a

43:03

Kevin Duran fan, but I really liked him

43:05

in this movie But that's he's fucking great.

43:07

I gotta say I liked him a Little

43:11

bit from back in the day. He had a brief

43:13

role on Lost. That's where I sort of knew him

43:15

from I mean,

43:17

obviously the blob is just embarrassing every

43:20

level No,

43:24

but I think the difference

43:26

is in what this screen play and this movie

43:28

allows him to do is like play

43:30

a character That's not the Kevin Duran. I'm

43:32

gonna kick your ass. Yeah, and a guy.

43:34

You know what I mean? It's like he's

43:37

a big elephant that's scared of a mouse kind

43:39

of a thing Yeah, and it's a really interesting

43:41

thing to see him play and he fucking does

43:43

it really well. It's very entertaining All

43:46

of the like, you know grand

43:49

Wignall esque like fucking blood

43:51

flow in this movie the practical blood effect

43:53

I'm all over that the over-the-top ness, you

43:56

know theatrical nature of it more

43:59

of this, please Yeah, get fucking gross at

44:01

the movies again, and I will say I saw

44:03

a pretty packed Screening on a

44:05

Tuesday at the Alamo and my audience is having

44:07

a lot of fun you know because it is

44:09

a you know, I think I hope it finds

44:11

its voice extremely, you know how it's doing right

44:13

now, but like It's

44:15

it was fun to watch at theaters and have

44:18

the surprises come and the big blood splashes and

44:20

people like oh my god You know that kind

44:22

of oh, yeah It's like there were so many

44:24

like I I was on a it was like

44:27

a Sunday afternoon opening weekend decent-sized

44:29

crowd in the theater, but everybody was

44:31

with it and Every

44:33

time there was another like blood

44:35

explosion. Yeah, it was just all these

44:37

people just like Holy shit, like there

44:39

was a lot of that like a lot

44:42

of exasperated like You

44:44

know a lot of it coming for me admittedly But

44:47

man, it was just nice to have fucking fun

44:50

at the movies and it's a horror movie That's

44:52

not like so serious like, you know

44:54

as much as I did like first

44:56

omen fine Serious as

44:58

fuck. Yeah immaculate couldn't

45:00

get any more self serious than that movie

45:02

like just fucking fun with horror

45:05

movies again It was just a total

45:07

total blast absolutely So,

45:11

yeah, you know, this is the same writing

45:14

and directing team Guy

45:16

Bizik is writing scream 7 radio

45:18

silence no longer directing it But

45:21

so we'll see. I don't know We'll

45:24

see But I you know, I'm

45:26

radio silence pill. I've been a fan of those for

45:28

a while So this was really cool to have them

45:30

another like big studio release for these dudes. So

45:33

good shit all around Some

45:37

people just know there's a better way to

45:39

do things, like bundling your home and auto

45:41

insurance with Allstate. Or hiring

45:43

someone to move your piano instead of doing

45:45

it yourself. So,

45:50

do things the better way. Bundle home and

45:52

auto and save up to 25% with Allstate.

45:56

Bundled savings vary by state and are not available in every state. Saving

45:59

up to 25% is the countrywide average of the maximum

46:01

available savings off the home policy. Allstate Vehicle and

46:03

Property Insurance Company and affiliates Northbrook, Illinois. Gears

46:06

shift, uh, just slightly

46:09

a bit. Um, just the

46:11

slightest bit. So challengers

46:14

directed of course, by Luther Guadagnino, call

46:16

me by your name and, uh, uh,

46:19

the Suspiria remake among other things, of course, this is

46:21

his new one. Man, I fucking, can I just say

46:24

right off the gate, I hate having to

46:26

type out like I did for the lower third, uh, and

46:28

also just to see it on screen,

46:31

Amazon MGM. Oh, that sucks. Yeah. Why

46:33

don't you change it to fuck you

46:35

production? Like honestly, like it's just, it

46:37

feels like, cause it's MGM, you know,

46:40

it's Metro golden mayor and it's just

46:42

Jeff Bezos fucking putting a cigarette

46:44

out on its arm, you know, it's

46:47

just a disgusting thing to have. That's what

46:49

you make money for. So that you can

46:51

put your cigarettes on another people's arms. This

46:53

is well known. We all know this

46:56

is good. I, I, you know, I

46:58

think this is a pretty good, uh, movie.

47:01

I like it. Okay. Um, I

47:03

think my issue is the same

47:05

as always with, uh, Luca is

47:07

that I think he makes very

47:09

pretty movies where like, you

47:11

know, bad stuff happens, quote

47:13

unquote, like there's portrayals and all this

47:15

stuff, but there's no pain to it.

47:18

There's no real, uh, tension to it.

47:20

It's all just kind of like, Oh,

47:22

well, Oh, it sucks that you cheated on me,

47:24

but you know what, it's kind of okay. Now

47:26

like 10 minutes later. Oh yeah. No, it's cool.

47:28

Cool. Like stuff like that. I find

47:30

it's very Italian. I suppose. I

47:32

mean, I find it very, I'm no longer mad.

47:34

You've taken a lover. Well,

47:36

even that, if that was it, but

47:39

like the core of the drama is

47:41

that in like, they just don't shoot

47:43

like it's just like, uh, easy going

47:45

for most of it. But, uh,

47:48

this, I do agree actually that

47:50

it is probably from my memory, other

47:52

than seven days in hell, it is probably the

47:54

best tennis movie. Yeah. It's

47:56

I'm, I think I might've liked this movie the most out

47:58

of everybody. Just based on our letter. box scores.

48:02

So I'll go out. I really love this

48:04

movie. I had a blast with it. I've

48:06

never disliked Zendaya as

48:09

an actress, but I was really impressed

48:11

with her in this movie. It's not

48:13

like, and even in Dune, it's a

48:15

very like, it's a really like, she's

48:18

there and she's holding me together, but it's

48:20

really like, it's Timmy's movie and there's so

48:22

much other shit going on. It's

48:24

really nice to see her stripped down and just

48:27

in a kind of taught drama. And I mean,

48:29

I think that what it's a great

48:31

sports movie. And I think that it's what I

48:33

love about the movie is like, yes, there's sex

48:36

stuff. Yes, there's a relationship stuff, but it is

48:38

all about fucking like literally like she says, there's

48:40

something like, I think they're talking about the relationship

48:42

and he's like, are we talking about relationship? We're

48:44

talking about tennis. We're always talking about tennis. Right?

48:47

That's what that movie's about. It's really it's it's

48:49

the sports thing that you don't see a lot of,

48:51

which is the Michael Jordan thing.

48:54

They're like, some people have that

48:56

thing and most in a 99

48:58

percentile do

49:00

not who are athletes and they, they just

49:02

like to do, they're, they're good at it.

49:04

They're, they're good at their jobs and they,

49:06

they like the tennis or the blah, blah,

49:08

blah, or they like whatever their sports they're

49:10

doing, but they don't love it. They don't

49:12

live for it, bleed for it. And that,

49:14

that drives that other faction insane. You know

49:17

what I mean? And like, I, I really

49:19

love the way that, you know, that explores

49:21

that relationship with three, three, three characters. Cause

49:23

she has it and they don't. And like, she almost

49:25

is like, not like she's

49:27

not Machiavelli, any lately, like playing them

49:30

to get them to this place, but she kind

49:32

of is. She just wants one of them because

49:34

of what happens to her, which happens in the

49:36

trailer. You know what I mean? To reach that

49:38

level. And it, and I think

49:40

the ending is fantastic. I, the score

49:42

is tremendous. I was blown

49:44

away by the score and like really

49:46

excited watching all the tennis scenes. And

49:48

I'm vaguely, I like tennis, mostly

49:51

Mario tennis, but I like tennis. Mario

49:54

tennis is the superior tennis form

49:56

as far as playing tennis for

49:58

me. I

50:00

don't know. I'm probably like right in the middle

50:02

with this movie. I think All

50:06

three of them are fantastic. Absolutely

50:08

top to bottom great performances. It's

50:10

the best thing I've seen all

50:13

of them do I Think

50:16

for me one of the things that

50:18

just completely ripped me out of this movie is

50:20

the structure of it. Hmm I I'm

50:23

fine, you know, I'm not anti

50:25

playing with timeline, but like For

50:28

this movie it just for me It felt like

50:30

every single time the movie was about to get

50:32

going We just shush to

50:35

a different time period and sometimes

50:37

that's years prior Sometimes there's

50:39

one that was literally I think that the text

50:41

says like earlier that day and you're just like

50:44

Can we just fucking stay for a

50:46

little bit and just tell the story

50:48

linearly like it was really taking

50:50

me out of it There's one moment where a character

50:53

says oh Did you tell him

50:55

about Atlanta and then just cuts and it's

50:57

seriously just big bold letters Atlanta like hmm

51:00

driving me crazy So

51:02

that really took me out of it. I do think it's a

51:04

really good sports movie. It is

51:06

not the fucking Sex movie

51:08

that people are going to see it more

51:11

So I feel like speaking of word getting

51:14

out. It'll be really interesting to see week

51:16

two because that trailer That's

51:18

a tricky little trailer Little

51:20

trailer look I'll admit it is

51:22

a horny movie, but it's not

51:24

erotic It's not

51:27

like that You know the desire

51:29

has its limitation like what I like about

51:31

movies about desire is that desire can make

51:33

you do fucking crazy shit It's like this

51:35

movie. It's kind of like well crazy crazy

51:38

shit, you know, it kind of somebody else

51:41

You know kind of stuff and that is I

51:43

think the difference is that is I? Honestly

51:45

think if this movie had built itself more

51:47

as a like young people drop

51:50

like something in the van I know it's not

51:52

teenagers, but like yeah, ten things I hate about

51:54

you kind of level like something a little bit

51:56

more funnier I might have been more willing to

51:59

get on its level But like

52:01

it carries itself like an adult drama and and

52:03

I know that I know that there are plenty

52:07

of people who think it's an adult drama too

52:09

and I'm just disagreeing with them. But like I

52:12

what I was missing from it was like this

52:14

moment of like are you actually hurting each

52:16

other or are you just like just like

52:18

oh well that happened. Well that

52:20

happened and like it got

52:22

me a little annoyed that you were rather

52:25

than like it being about people who are

52:27

okay with all that stuff. It's about literally

52:29

just avoiding conflict and like not

52:31

doing the real actual argument which

52:34

is tough to write I imagine. So yeah a

52:36

lot of those conflicts are folded in they don't

52:38

get they don't get that you want one scene

52:40

where it's like did you actually blah blah blah

52:42

you know what I mean like one of those

52:44

kinds of moments would be I

52:46

totally get it. Yeah I do I

52:48

completely disagree with Andrew I like

52:51

the structure but what I really like about the structure

52:53

at least is and

52:55

again these two performances they do really good

52:57

job of playing teenagers into people

52:59

in their early 30s you know what I mean

53:02

and like you could it's not just the haircuts

53:04

and it's not just the clothes they're wearing like

53:06

they feel like teenagers when they're teenagers and they

53:08

feel like adults when they're adults you know what

53:10

I mean and I think that that's just it's

53:13

the script that's the writing but

53:15

it's also it's how they play. I

53:18

like to Mike Face is his name.

53:20

Yeah my story. Yeah the best thing

53:22

in that fucking movie. I'll

53:24

always be the one that

53:26

hates that movie but I liked I really liked

53:28

it. I love Josh O'Connor.

53:30

I've been on a Josh O'Connor kick. What is he

53:33

been in? La Camara which

53:35

just came out which is great

53:37

nominal fucking movie out right now

53:39

from really good gay drama

53:42

called God's Own Country from a couple

53:44

years ago. Oh right sure yeah. I'm

53:46

the guy from that. He at

53:48

one point was

53:51

Prince now King Charles on the crown.

53:53

Oh cool. He was fucking built

53:55

for it with that fucking satellite dishes he's

53:57

got on the side of his head. That's

54:00

the thing that I find really fascinating about the

54:02

movie and like and again three great performances across

54:04

the board You could not have found

54:06

two goofier looking motherfuckers to have someone like

54:08

Zendaya be attracted to I just think that

54:10

I feel like You're gonna be great. There's

54:12

gonna be people that chatter Goofy

54:19

motherfuckers man, it's okay, but that's like

54:22

but what I like about is that

54:24

like We complain about

54:26

this all the time. It's all fucking models

54:28

that are playing young people These are two

54:30

they are a believable adults like and I

54:33

can also believe like someone being hot for

54:35

them Like yeah, maybe maybe less like vice

54:37

character. I just was turned off by him

54:39

generally. Yeah, Josh O'Connor I was hot for

54:41

him the whole time. I was like keep

54:43

on going babies. I Gotta say

54:45

I gotta say speaking of hot dudes in

54:47

this movie Skoch of

54:50

a cop out here because we are

54:52

teasing these dudes showing their dicks through

54:54

the whole movie But instead we have

54:56

like C team locker room guys with

54:58

their fucking non-famous pieces get out of

55:00

here What a cop out that was

55:02

the only dick in the movies total

55:04

strangers. Thank you The other probably get

55:06

any dicks in my movie. I'm not

55:08

good at all That is

55:10

finally some at a certain point We

55:13

keep talking with Josh O'Connor like him and

55:15

his huge cock. They keep saying it over and over

55:17

again Yeah, it turns into almost

55:19

a boogie night scenario where you might

55:21

need a prosthetic to actually pull off

55:23

what we the audience are imagining

55:26

Or yeah, you're a fucking star. You're

55:28

a fucking tennis star. Yeah, I do.

55:30

Yeah, I also

55:33

love Josh O'Connor just like Sleeping

55:36

his way through Westchester on

55:38

Tinder. It's Amazing

55:40

an amazing detail that I think is just fantastic.

55:43

Also movie takes place in New Rochelle. I went

55:45

to high school in New Rochelle That's another half

55:47

star right there. Yeah Interesting

55:50

thing. I don't know if I've ever experienced

55:53

this before I thought the

55:55

score was fantastic. I Just

55:57

don't think it's for this movie at all

56:01

I really loved it and I saw

56:03

a bit of a corrective When

56:06

the sports stuff is happening when you're

56:08

doing you know that score when they're

56:10

playing It's perfect when

56:13

you're playing that music and it's in these like

56:17

Really sort of rigid. Yeah,

56:19

why it hotel room seems it just it took

56:21

me out of it completely And it felt like

56:23

someone should be pounding on a wall telling someone

56:25

to turn it down Well, you know what? I

56:28

mean? It just it was so weird on the

56:30

court Fine the rest of the

56:32

movie that pounding driving score made no sense

56:34

to me I think I agree with you

56:36

because there are certain scenes and what I

56:38

think is what he's trying to do and

56:40

you know He's not without being a little

56:42

heavy-handed at times But like he

56:44

really wants you to think like he really

56:47

wants you to remember remember remember tennis

56:50

equals sex Tennis

56:54

When you're having like I know one

56:56

scene I was exactly in your court with that Andrew

56:58

was when they're in the sauna together And it starts

57:01

they're having a very serious conversation about their

57:03

their Fights than the O'Connor

57:05

are having very serious conversation about their their

57:08

past their history all this up And it

57:10

starts going when legs and die is mentioned

57:13

Because like they want to be like, oh

57:15

it's competitive. Remember it's competitive And

57:20

like I'm just like no you can just let them talk

57:22

it's okay to let them talk I get what you're talking

57:25

Trust me everybody gets that your movie that

57:27

is about sex and tennis is about how

57:29

Texas tennis and sex are similar I get

57:31

it. Everybody gets it. You don't have to

57:34

remind everybody. Yeah, we don't need the audio

57:36

bridge I'll say in from the chat over

57:38

on Twitch Palm

57:40

crash Valentine chimes in fun fact Josh

57:42

O'Connor gets naked in that God's own

57:44

country movie And he needs a nary

57:46

a cock prosthetic interesting. She's a bear

57:48

go it. He's got he's got some

57:50

goods He's really doing it and

57:53

also just to yeah put

57:55

the rumor to bed. I did not

57:57

go to Iona prep Let's just be

57:59

honest I don't think so.

58:03

I went to Silesian High School just enough. If

58:06

anyone could ever give a shit. And

58:09

yes, my wife Chelsea is in

58:12

the chat pointing out that he's also naked

58:14

in the movie Mothering Sunday, which we watched

58:16

virtually from Toronto one year, and nobody

58:19

else saw that fucking movie. Because it was a

58:21

21st century Sony Classics movie and they just plumb

58:23

forgot to tell people about it. But

58:26

yes, also naked to that, I don't remember the penis

58:28

situation though. Go

58:30

back to Mothering Sunday. I

58:34

was trying to think if there was another story. Oh, cinematography,

58:37

fantastic, gorgeously shot movie.

58:40

You can miss me with the tennis ball cam. That

58:43

was pretty much. It gets a little bit much.

58:45

I'm not a smash mouth video here folks, okay?

58:48

I thought it was fun and exciting but

58:50

then overused. Like you know what I mean?

58:52

To use it sometimes. It

58:55

gets a little overused. To

58:57

me this is all classic look up problems. Like

59:02

the movie's too long. He

59:04

needs to bat you

59:06

over the head with the ideas he's using. Those

59:09

are things that have always been his issues and they still are.

59:11

But I think everything else about this movie

59:13

is as strong as he's been since Call Me

59:15

By Your Name, in my opinion. To

59:17

me this is like a movie that is exactly what

59:20

I want more of. It's a

59:22

movie that's kind of sort of for adults about

59:25

adult themes. It

59:28

fits a very

59:30

waning trope which is sports movies. You know what I mean?

59:32

Like a big deal sports movie that we're going to be

59:35

talking about. It's nice that

59:37

this is a fake sports thing by the way. Yes.

59:40

Like yes we're saying US Open and all that stuff but like they're

59:42

not real athletes. There

59:44

was that tennis movie a few years ago that

59:46

I think Neon put out. Battle

59:49

of the Sexes? No that was Fox

59:51

Searchlight and yes those were real people too. Bjork

59:54

something? Bjork Meckenro.

59:57

Yes. That movie. So that

59:59

was like more real. tennis people. So it was cool because

1:00:01

I think when you do it this way, right, and

1:00:03

there are just these fake people that have been made

1:00:05

up, you can concentrate more on the sport and it's

1:00:07

not so much like what happened in the real game.

1:00:09

And you can sort of pick and choose from real

1:00:11

people and put them in there. There's obviously a lot

1:00:14

of Venus and Serena in Zendaya's

1:00:16

character, you know what I mean, and other stuff

1:00:18

too. I wish the characters were pumped

1:00:20

up a little more. That'll be like my final sort

1:00:22

of complaint about it. Like they felt a

1:00:24

little too one-dimensional at times. It's just kind of like,

1:00:26

you know, like, yeah, she was supposed to hit it

1:00:29

big and take care of her family. Josh O'Connor is

1:00:31

a rich kid. Mike Face is the

1:00:33

dude that has nothing but his dead grandmother.

1:00:35

Like, I want a little more

1:00:37

about their lives and everything, but you know, it's

1:00:40

already two hours and 11 minutes. The funny thing is,

1:00:42

Chris, I didn't feel the time as much as you

1:00:44

know. I think it's because I'm still stunned that

1:00:46

Suspiria was like two hours and 35 minutes. I

1:00:49

mean, yeah, that is the most, but like to

1:00:51

what you were saying, Andrew, like, I think that's

1:00:53

also been a problem with him for a while

1:00:56

now is like his characters are just like figures.

1:00:58

They don't have really like, what do

1:01:00

you like? What do you like? Is it really

1:01:02

just tennis and that's it? I

1:01:04

guess that is a person, but it makes a

1:01:06

pretty uninteresting person if they're not

1:01:08

talking about like, do you like going to

1:01:10

Italy or France? Like basic shit. What's your

1:01:12

fucking favorite color? Get me something here. I

1:01:15

liked an arrow focus, but again, we're all just

1:01:18

sort of. Oh, if I can't play tennis

1:01:20

then I have no reason to play. I

1:01:24

just kept thinking about that Seinfeld lady the

1:01:26

whole time. But yeah,

1:01:28

anyway, you know, I still full throated recommendation, by

1:01:30

the way, based almost solely on the fact that

1:01:32

it's three good performances and it's a movie for

1:01:34

adults that's out in theaters right now. That's

1:01:37

not a fucking change to a comic book

1:01:39

or a television show or whatever. But

1:01:41

that is going to do it for this week, folks. If

1:01:43

I return to onscreen live here, as

1:01:45

always, thanks so much for tuning in. We've got a big

1:01:48

week coming up. If you're playing catch up from last week,

1:01:50

we did release a couple of things towards the end of

1:01:52

the week on the Patreon, including this Gleep

1:01:54

glossary all about Garak face

1:01:56

Lauren. Oh, if Eric were

1:01:59

here. He'd tell you that this was a

1:02:02

child actor who grew up

1:02:04

starring in like Imperial propaganda

1:02:06

films It's very interesting

1:02:08

We had a lot of fun with that and then

1:02:10

also a cartoon that a

1:02:12

time traveler tailor made for us

1:02:14

skeleton warriors Because

1:02:16

my god, this just was right up our alley. I

1:02:19

saw someone saying I can't believe they didn't make a

1:02:21

skeleton League joke and it's like Cuz

1:02:23

it's the most obvious thing like it's right there

1:02:25

like we went in warriors a different. Yeah League

1:02:29

elsewhere. This is the word. Yeah, these are the words

1:02:32

Like that exact serious for five minutes here

1:02:36

It is it's gonna be great it makes

1:02:38

no sense. There's a lot of like are

1:02:40

the skeletons evil Who

1:02:43

1:02:45

tomorrow We are bringing the blessed

1:02:50

month of sheen pearl to a close. We

1:02:52

1:02:57

1:03:01

mullet at work more like it? It

1:03:04

1:03:09
