And we're back
A brand new episode
Lovely sunny day outside
We're inside
We've got the curtains pulled
Yeah
We're in a lead-lined room
Just in case the vaccine
tries to get us
Yeah
Vitamin D
You know what the D stands for
Not nah
I don't want to find out
It's so weird
Is people outside
Like having drinks and laughing
And kissing and touching
Yeah
We're inside
Like looking at them
Yeah
Scum
They're literally across the road
They're frolicing
You know what it is
It's like the beginning
Of every drunk driving ad
You've ever seen
They're all gonna hop in the car
Now and run over a three-year-old
Yeah, they're all like
You okay to drive
Yeah, doesn't matter if I'm drunk, does it
What's the worst that could happen
And there's a little kid
Like playing with a Thai car
Yeah
Okay, and little kid's like
Oh, I'm gonna be a doctor someday
Vrum, vrum!
Then the car comes and kills him
And it's like a crazy
Like fucking like a Kronenberg
like his head splatters.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
For no, like, the car hits his foot
and then his head explodes, okay?
Doesn't even make sense.
And then the blood goes in a toy car.
Yes.
And then it says something like,
vote you kid.
The car was foreshadowing,
but that was accidental
because the people who made the ad
don't know what foreshadowing is.
So, yeah.
Okay, we're going to jump,
to give you a layout
what this episode is going to be.
We're going to talk about yesterday.
Yeah.
The film.
The film yesterday.
Absolutely. If you like or even enjoy yesterday, you're a non-s.
Yeah, I remember when I saw the trailer for yesterday and I was, I was disgusted. It made me so angry.
Nobody remembers the Beatles. This guy's about to find out.
It's literally worse than childbirth.
Than what?
Than childbirth.
Childbirth.
What's he called?
Yeah, pushing a child out.
Yeah. It's more.
painful than that life.
You're right.
Which makes me sick.
And,
uh,
Himmash Patel,
is that the guy's name?
Hamish Patel.
Hamish Patel.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's, uh,
it's interesting.
The casting choice,
it's kind of like a UKIP
recruitment video is like
an Indian fellow
takes credit for all the Beatles songs.
Fuck you know,
this is what Nigel tried to warn us about.
They're taking the Beatles.
They're taking the footy.
Not in secret.
We want to take Blue Peter.
It's going to be called
Black Pete.
Brown.
Peter now.
I can't even enjoy kneeling down
anymore. They robbed me
of that pleasure too.
So we'll get on to yesterday in a minute.
Is there anything you want to talk about first? Have you been up
to much crazy shenanigans? No, I have
not. I've been working. I've been
trying to get a job actually.
Oh yeah, yeah. I've done two
like proper exams.
Where was this for? I don't know why.
It used to just be like handing your CV
and that's it. And now all these places
they're like, oh, put you only 30
spare minutes to do this exam.
Okay. So I did one for the SSE,
you know, eartricity. Oh, airtricity, yeah, yeah.
It's so dumb. It did like
little questions to start. They're very generic, like,
the customer is a problem. Should you listen to the
customer or like, you know, take a big
shit?
You know, they're very
basic kind of stuff like that, you know.
One of your co-workers is a problem.
Should you help your co-worker? Should you take a big
shit? Yeah. You know, it's very... I'm seeing a
pattern emerge here. It's the same
like you know. And that was
easy but then there was like
Matt's questions. Really?
Yeah. And I mean like proper like
leaving a certain maths question. They said please have
a calculator and pen and paper. Oh my god.
And you know it's so it's so
frustrating because they had like 10
questions I was doing them. It was taking my time and I was like
Jesus now it's like doing a fucking
Suduco now it's difficult but you figure it out
when it's kind of rewarding you know. And there's like
all different like equations and like
you got to find percentages of something and I'm like
sub that in and like this time
like if something's traveling this time
when will I get to here
even if it's the time difference
it's crazy questions all right
if there's a train traveling at
40 miles per hour
how long will it take for you to take
a big sheet
yeah
yeah and then I was doing it was like
you know what it's difficult
but I'm getting it done
and I pressed the final question
and said practice over
oh Jesus Christ
yeah and then they had 18 more
questions with a time limit
oh my God
and these were impossible questions
What the fuck?
Like, they were so needlessly difficult.
What was the position exactly?
I think sales.
Sales.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
For, for...
That literally any dog on the street could do.
Yeah, there's anyone with charisma.
Anyone who knows how to use a phone.
Yeah.
And, like, the questions were like, okay, if, um, here's a number of times, put this
onto a graph, okay?
But the times are like 12.45 a.m.
2.46 p.m.
And the graph is like 1 to 6.
Okay.
And I'm like, okay, so I assume
it's 24 o'clock then.
Right.
So I have to put this on the...
Yeah.
Accurately, but it's like,
there's like only like five minutes left
on the thing and there's like six more questions
ago. I honestly think it might have just been
a thing to see how you deal with pressure.
Right. And how do you deal with pressure, Brian?
I just sent him debt threats.
Which I think they'll appreciate.
Yeah, yeah.
This guy's thinking outside the box.
So that was one interview I did,
kind of exam interview thing I did.
And I haven't got word back from that.
So who knows, maybe I...
And they don't tell you, like, how well...
You don't tell you straight away.
Right, okay.
The other one was Sky.
Right.
Again, sales, they're going with Sky.
And again, they're like,
you're going to need 30 minutes for this.
And you're going to have to record video.
Oh, my God.
Of yourself.
So I was like, oh, shit.
This is very...
I had no ideas.
Very job I've had, I just...
Every job I've had, I just...
I just walked in and said, oh yeah, see him.
I'm his mate.
Okay, good enough.
My daddy owns this company.
I'll have you deported.
I'm from Wexford.
Yeah, exactly.
Back to picking strawberries for you.
You'll be back with Mammy tonight.
Oh, it doesn't really work, actually.
So I did the sky thing, all right?
First it starts off, like, are you married?
What's your sexuality?
What's your age range?
Okay
Age range
Yeah
Oh
So are you like
I thought
Why not just like your age
No it's like
Do you think like which
What age range do you prefer to bang
Yeah
No it was like are you 18 to 25
Or are you 26 to 40
Right
It was like weird kind of like
Oh wow okay
So I did them
I picked white Caucasian straight
I think that's where I went wrong
Oh big time
And they're literally like
Have you got any disabilities
I'm like no
Are you sure
Come on.
Come on.
Any autism at all.
Come on.
Just give us something.
Are you even a little wheelchairy?
Come on.
Yeah, yeah.
Look at you.
So I got to that bit and I said, now you can do the next part.
Here's video questions for you to do.
Okay.
And the video questions are all like very, it was all the same two people as well and all of them.
It's like one kind of fat Northern Irish guy.
Right.
And he's like, there's a video of him going like, thank you very much, Mr. Johnson.
That's good to hear.
Oh, yeah, Mr. Johnson.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Mr. John.
And then he turns to his colleague
He shot himself on the phone
Oh my God
He turns to his colleague
He goes like
Mr. Johnson was very difficult there
I did not enjoy that experience
And then the woman working next to him
Gets a phone call and goes like
Hello Mr. Johnson
You want to wish to make a complaint
About a colleague
And then the woman turns to the camera
Goes like
What should I do here
And your options are like
Be a Narc
Okay
You know report this
Sure
Try to help
the customer
or sit down
with your colleague
and explain
where they went wrong
okay so I picked
help the customer
right
I think that's where I made my mistake
oh is that
you're not meant to help the customer
I think they want you to be
a little rat
oh of course
yeah yeah okay
there's a few of those
kind of questions
or like
there's another one
where the guys like
again Northern Irish guys
like thank you very much
Mrs. Johnson
or whatever
fuck yeah
yeah yeah
thank you very much
mrs your husband's a prick by the way thank you very much mrs phillips that's nice to hear from you look if his name is patrick and i call him packy i don't see how that's a slur like what's the problem there yeah there's like a bit where he's like thank you very much mrs phillips thank you very much and the guy next time was like i think he could have handled that better that was very unprofessional and then the northern irish guy turns the camera's like i don't appreciate his criticism what should i do
do and it's like you know should you listen to him should you file a complaint or should you
ignore him what exactly about his performance wasn't good though nothing yeah it was just him like
thank you very much and that's that's all you see right yeah so and again i picked like
listen to him right but i think they want you to make a complaint they want you to be a rat
yeah a rat little snitch cunt fuck that shit so i did the 10 so anybody yeah just a quick
warning anybody that has sky they're all fucking
They were rats. And you know what? Sky, directly responsible for the Iraq war.
Yeah?
Directly, yeah.
Finally, somebody's saying it.
Murdoch.
Yes.
Yeah. Fox.
The Anointed Tony Blair.
If you work for Sky, you got blood on your, oily blood on your hands.
Oily Iraqi child blood on your fucking mittens.
Your scum.
Your fucking scum.
Yeah.
You're all, and I'm too straight to work there.
Yes.
Yeah, so I did the questions.
I didn't even get to the video part.
They're like, we've looked at this now
and you are not Sky Material.
But don't worry, you can
reapply in three months.
Jesus Christ. You didn't tell me where I went wrong.
Well, because
they just said you're not...
That's a theory about being a rat.
Probably what? They probably do want you to
a rat, like, you know?
There's other questions that are more generic.
Like, I think another mistake I made is
I never picked the one that was like
just give the customer what they want.
Right. So let's say customer calls up
and he's like,
I don't like Sky anymore.
I want to quit right now.
Yeah.
The options are let him quit,
offer him something else,
explain to him the benefits of Sky.
Yeah.
Or, I don't know,
throw in a free modem or something.
Something like that, okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I would pick,
I would always pick the one
that wasn't just like,
give him what he wants.
Okay.
I think that hurt me?
As in, well, what is,
give him what he wants is cancel the subscription?
Let him leave.
Yeah, so you don't want him to do that.
Yeah, I'm right.
Yeah.
So I don't know where...
That's the 90th.
I don't know where I went wrong.
So in three months' time...
Oh, let's be honest.
I'll be dead by then.
And the baby skies fault.
Yeah, yeah.
Just another...
This is...
I had no idea.
From my place of privilege, my ivory tower,
I had no idea the struggles of the common man.
Yeah, it's very disheartening.
Jesus, yeah.
It's like, it's just fucking, like...
It's not even a job I really want, you know?
And they're like, you can't even work here.
You know?
the fat norty he won't let you work
ah yeah
yeah
fuck that so
keep keep plugging there
toler keep grinding
but hey look
the good thing is
have no jobs
have more time to focus
on the podcast
yeah that's good
and more time to focus
on a new segment
we have called
oh
production trouble
oh
and those are question marks
right
yeah yeah yeah
so I'm gonna pick
there's four films
I've been looking into
that have like
that haven't come out
yeah that have been completely shot
and haven't come out
they haven't been like released
yeah yeah right right and you have to try and pick
like which one you'd actually
fucking even attempt to sit through
okay okay so the first one's called
El Tonto
El Tonto yeah yeah
written and directed and starring Charlie Day
oh okay
I like Charlie Day
it's about it's him as a deaf mute
oh okay
yeah who ends in 1920s
Hollywood, I think.
Okay.
And it sounds,
they ever see the film Being There?
No.
Sounds a bit like that.
What's Being There?
Being There was about a deaf mute who like ends up like,
he just meets lots of famous and successful people and they're like, hey, this guy
agrees with me because they're so self-centered.
Right, okay.
And he ends up becoming powerful.
Is it good?
Yeah, it's very good.
Yeah, it's Peter Sellers.
Oh, okay.
So it sounds a bit like this, where this one's like he just kind of wanders on set and
they're kind of like, hey, this guy must be a good actor because he doesn't talk.
Or he can't hear anything
Yeah
He's a deaf mute you say
Def mute yeah
Okay
He's been described as a Mr. Bean character
Right
Okay
Right
And he gets up the crazy shenanigans
Hmm
Yeah I'm not
Yeah
Well apparently he was made in 2018
Wow
And he they haven't been able to find
Anyone who will
Dare go near it
Really?
Yeah
Why any reason
Apparently it's just not very good
It's got like a big name
It's got like E.
E.D. Falco
and Ray Leone
the biggest names in Hollywood
move over Jennifer Lawrence
we got Ray Leota
yeah that's a shame now
because I like Charlie Day
but apparently he said it took
him six years of his life to make
and he turned down Tarantino
that was a mistake Tarantino
wanted him to be in
once per time
he wants a time in Hollywood
and he's like no I'm doing
fuck you you feet
you feet cunt
yeah you freak
yeah I'm doing El Tonto
and it sounds like
they've had like a couple of distributors
but they're all like
distributors
but they're all like, you know, like,
oh, some, like, weird French distributor,
and that, that even falls through.
Right, okay.
So it's kind of, it's kind of a shame, you know?
It is a shame.
Well, it's obviously not very good.
It's kind of like, um, not to drill us,
because I know you got a few,
but Zeroville, did you hear about that?
Yeah, so I was taking a sip of my coffee by nodded,
but this is audio medium.
I actually have another James Franco one on this.
Okay, he has a lot.
Man, it's weird.
You ever going to, his ATM, his ATM, his IMDB,
he was doing like
he was directing like five films a year
and none of them ever like
would come out did come out
did never like
to get released in like Vodd
yeah yeah yeah
what was ZeroVille again
ZeroVille was like
I think he's like a fucking like skinhead
or something but he basically
it's weird because it actually got released
in 2019 I think
yeah it gets released and you have no idea about it
because it got I think overshadowed
by once upon a time
because it's set in the 60s
in Hollywood. I think there's a
Manson subplot. Yeah, it's
kind of similar to what you just said about that
being there where he's just like
some weird conter's just
floating through LA in the 60s
and he meets a whole cast
of wacky characters. The thing about Franco
is he was making all these films that like
will either never get released or like
it's like, oh yeah
it got released but he literally can't even find it on
PrimeWire because he don't cares enough to put it up
online illegally. But he'd get like
oh he got like you know Megan
Fox and Will Farrell to be on set for a day
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot of
It's, um, he has a lot of those
Like, he was doing a lot of shit, like,
plays and then, like, a Faulkner
adaptation. Art, art exhibitions.
The one I'm going to talk about is
he did a full on Bukowski movie.
I did hear about this.
Yeah, I think a postal
or
the, or it's a ham,
ham on right, they may be ham
on right, but like he did, he directed
and it's got like, fucking like Josh
Peck and like Robert Duvall.
Josh,
yeah Robert Duvall
and go suck
to car
Josh Peck
it's a Drake of Josh
Reboot
with Robert DeVall
that's Drake
where's the other one
Ah he's
gone a bit of trouble
Yeah yeah yeah
Actually Josh Peck
is in the new
Turner and Hooch TV show
Wow
Yeah
So things aren't going well
For Josh Peck
And he's the good one
Yeah
You know what's so weird
I read the synopsis
It sounds very dark
It's about
So Josh Peck
plays Tom Hanks's son
okay
but Tom Hanks
is being murdered
by Hooch
no it's
you son of a bit
wait which one was
Hooch
Houch was the dog
yeah yeah yeah
I never seen Turner
and Hitch
so basically
it's like
his dad's been murdered
so him and the dog
have to try and solve
his dad's murder
the same dog
I think it's the son
of the dog
yeah okay
I think the dog
get killed at the end
of Turner Hooch
he might have
yeah you might be right
I think the dog
killed himself
cause of cause of allegations
yeah he saw
He saw what Tom Hanks was getting up to.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so he did, again, again with this,
it's a completely shot film,
this Bukowski film.
Yeah.
And it's like just sitting on the shelf somewhere.
Yes.
And you think like in the world of streaming and shit,
like someone would pick it up.
Pick it up.
Just leak it on YouTube.
But I think didn't it?
Because it sort of coincides with fucking Franco
getting me-toed and all.
So like maybe nobody wants to.
This was like 20,
he filmed this all in like 26.
Okay, right, right, right.
This was like when he was big and he still couldn't get it released.
Yeah, yeah.
Test them into what a piece of shit it must be.
This is one, now a lot of these is kind of like, we don't know anything about them, so we're just speculating.
Yeah.
This one, I've heard from lots of people that it's literally just like incompetent and like, like, literally like, literally like leave the lens cap on bad.
Okay.
It's called All Star Weekend.
Right.
It is the directorial and the writ, written, rhetorial.
Nailed it
Switch, nothing but net
It's written and directed by Jamie Fox
Oh
Yeah
It's Jamie Foxes
Okay
It's Jamie Fox and Jeremy Piven
Yes
This was filmed in like 2015
Right right
Star is two truck drivers
Who love basketball
Okay
So they decide to head down
To the All Star Weekend
That's where to have all the big basketball players
Do a big game all right
Right right
So they decide to head down
I think hilarity ensues.
Okay, so it's like kind of a road trip.
A road trip, yeah, yeah.
Right, okay.
And I think Robert Downey Jr.
plays a villainous Mexican.
I think they've darkened them up a bit.
Oh, I see.
Now, what's interesting is, Jamie Fox has a big name, okay?
Yeah.
So you think, like, oh, it'd be some fun cameos, basketball cameo.
None.
Really?
Yeah.
Wow.
So that's one, like, hmm, that's interesting.
Also, a lot of people on Reddit say they worked on the film and they said it was like,
very clear
Jamie Fox
had no idea
like
what he was doing
like how to
shoot a scene
like blocking
or anything
like none of that
stuff
like you're like
basic stuff
where he's like
what are these lights
for
like that
it's brighter
than a motherfucker
in here
yeah
no you think
though after like
fucking a 30 year
long career
in cinema
you would have
an understanding
like
I was listening
I was reading
like these people
they're extras
well this is
red it
so take away
grain of salt.
Nope,
I believe
every word.
They were saying
they're extras
and like
the days like
would just run on
for hours
because he was just like
I don't know
what I'm doing here
okay
and he would just be like
standing around
be like
can someone
yeah
what's the camera
do?
Okay,
what's that one called
All Star Weekend
yeah
okay
and this
there's no
it's just never
going to see
the light of day
probably
probably for a mixture
of Piven
and probably
Downy Jr.
Browning up
Junior's like
I did
it once, I risked it once, and I got away
with it. I think twice they might
start seeking a pattern here, you know?
Fuck, he really, I mean, wow.
Wow, what a legend.
He got there. And you know
what? Just right at the perfect time.
But you know what? It's like,
it was back then where it's like, look, we're doing
it's a take on something and I'm a mocking
actors to go too far. Yes.
And the idea of blackface.
And people could sit down and be like,
okay. Now, not
so much. No, no, no, no. They will
get a little bit
I mean have you ever
went to a shop
and bought boot polish
oh the locks
that you will get
it's like
I just want to shine
me shoes
how you know what
you kill you
you got to be
you have to buy
your boot polish
on the dark web
but you're winking
with cryptocurrency
yeah
no it's true
you just
you could not get away
with it now
like
funnly enough
though you said that
because
Jamie
when Jamie Fox was on
Joe Rogan
this couple of years
ago they were
talking about
that movie. I only saw
the little clip on YouTube, just talking like, you know,
it's a really hilarious bit of
satire, but you definitely couldn't get away
with it today. So that's just like an interesting
little, you know,
coincident or whatever. It probably
maybe it came up because they were
talking about the film. It was like, yeah, I got
Robert Downey Jr. to play a Mexican.
I think it'd be a funny prank
to like black up people
but it's like permanent.
You know? Like tattoo somebody's
face black? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
then they have to live with it
and no matter how they're like
no I didn't have anything do with it
this tomatoes being thrown at them
that would be a good little prank
it would yeah
for jackass four
yeah yeah oh boy
is that gonna be
sad for everyone
Jesus Christ
the pranks are just like
you know
I'm gonna take all my medication
silver lining though
you know Ryan Dunn's family
will go see jackass four in the cinema
and for the first time they'd be like
it's for the best that he
yeah I think we
we came out
we dodged the bullet
we dodged a bullet
yeah yeah
and the final one I want to talk about
and this is coming out
but I've heard that
there's talks
they want to do lots of reshoots
and not like
re-edits and stuff like that
the new Batman movie
oh yeah yeah yeah
now I've been hearing rumblings
but this for a long time
from your sources on the inside
yeah I've got a few
little birds
little birds
tweeting
In my ear.
Yeah.
So I just heard that, like, there was a bit of trouble on set.
And it caused the coronavirus, the shooting got extended for, like, an extra, like, four months.
Right, yeah.
Yeah, like, it was ridiculous.
And they kept, like, having to shut it down.
Because remember Pattinson?
He got COVID.
Allegedly.
Or did he?
Well.
Because the rumors I'm hearing now, Pete, listen to this, people.
I'm telling the people, right now.
They got this fucking skinny fag here playing bad man.
What's going on?
That's me sick.
Well, he's not a fag anymore.
Oh.
Yeah, you're right.
Because I've heard that he's been like a real pain on the arse, pain in the arse on set, all right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He refused, like, getting cheap, but he already showed up all fat.
Sweet.
Yeah, legend, right.
Fat man. Love it.
And that, like, he's, like, he was banging Zoe Kravitz.
Yeah.
The son of Lenny Kravitz.
The daughter of Lenny Kravitz.
And the rumor is he got, he was banging her on top of the Batmobile and got her pregnant.
Nice.
Yeah, I did see, like, there were legitimate articles, like, that came out as, like, we're hearing
rumors of
now some of the articles
were being little cowards and saying
these rumors are ridiculous
and there's no truth to it but then
there are some brave journalists
out there willing to tell the people
what's really going on regardless
of fact yeah don't let that
shit get the way but yeah Robert
Patterson was banging Zoe
Kravitz on top of the Batmobile
got the bitch pregnant he was
raw dog and cat woman boom
love it and apparently
there is video footage of it
this is the real drunk people, okay?
We're bringing you the truth.
And the studio is trying to hush it all up.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, like, I mean,
is it really inconceivable
to think that the studio
maybe fabricated this whole
COVID-19 thing?
And I don't just mean him catching it.
I mean, the entire thing.
They got Bill Gates on the blowers there.
All right, Billy, boy, yeah.
We still have the pictures
from Epstein Island,
try to call in a favor here.
So, yeah, I mean, who knows?
You know how important Batman is.
to the Warner Brother's schedule.
Look, did you see how fat Colin Farrell
get? This has to be a success.
Imagine that, like...
I ain't some witty fucking cababs.
Right. Why better get the asker now,
I'll tell ya that.
I imagine I started on something
Colin Farrell. He's just watching
Patenton going up and down on Zoe Kravitz and
Top. He's like, oh, I didn't used to be fat.
This is not fair.
I used to be a sex symbol too.
Yeah, yeah, and he just goes over and
sniffs the roof of the Batmobile
after they've cleared everyone off set.
I heard you ever watch his sex tape
No, I've never seen nobody
Yeah, he did have one
Who is it with?
Some black lady
Pornstar
No, I think it's just a model
Or something like that
Oh, okay
But it's funny
It's very, it's very Irish dad
He's literally like
Look at me meat and two veg
Look, yeah
Look my balls
Yeah
I'm not talking about football
He's like making jokes
All the time
He's doing little bits
Yeah
It's kind of like
Am I watching Lee Mac sex tape
What's going on here?
Yeah, he's all sweaty
yeah yeah
is this Vic and Bob
are they gonna pop out of each ball
what's going on here
yeah he's taught
she's very chatty
yeah
and she's like
just would you just
fucking
I think that got leaked
without his permission
well yeah
I would imagine
yeah
but I think she
I just assumed she did it
oh okay
but
well the statistics
will back up your
hypothesis
Mr Rout
yeah
but I was expecting
more just like
yeah
take that
but he's just chatting
the whole time
he was probably
coked
out of his mind, though.
Probably, yeah.
Well, your fairness, he still got hard.
Good. Well, he probably popped
the Viagra as well.
Yeah. Viagra, Coke, black
model. I mean, that's the trifecta.
And some cababs as well
for later. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Abra cababra.
That's what he called her funny.
So, that's the rumours
going around at Batman, but even that, apparently
the studio just aren't happy with it.
I heard other wild shit, like, you know,
he'd show up drunk, but then he had, like, a
gun on set, and at one point he kidnapped.
the director
like held him
I think people
are getting a little
bit carried away
no, no
that's what I've heard
I did hear
they had they
were having arguments
but you know
the problem is
there's two problems
with this
one is
this is probably
his first big
studio film
since Twilight
right
so this is probably
bringing back
a little bad
memories
yeah
okay
yeah
there's a reason
why he did
all small
he did
lighthouse
instead of like
he did
lighthouse
instead of this
new Star Wars
the rover
he did
good time
three really good
films
that he
is fucking great in like yeah i mean yeah you know like obviously from fucking harry potter to twilight i
as everyone did dismiss them was like this guy is just a fucking i kind of put him up there
what was that other content twilight taylor lotner just a pretty face with no substance but then
you see fucking the rover and good time you're like oh shit this guy can actually act so i think
now he's doing a big budget studio movie again yeah bringing back you know all the all the
memories of when he's probably traumatic like yeah like his girlfriend's
beat on him and everyone was like
everyone's just making
Jimmy Kimmel's just making fun of it
the indignity of it
yeah
like so that's probably bringing it back
and also
I heard she left him
for a younger guy
well to be fair
he is 300 years old
oh yeah
see I could write for Kimmel
you think that's funny
I think Kimmel
starts crying
yeah
but like
so it's that
and also I think
a lot of these actors now
they think like
you know
doing a comic
movie it's like doing hamlet look
what Joaquin did you know I need to get into
the mind of Batman yeah
so I could see him like bringing a gun around
being like oh this killed my parents
oh Uncle Ben
is that Batman
Uncle Ben touched my ass
and Alfred watched
Shall I get your jiz rag
So that's
That's all the films I was going to talk about
Okay well I'm looking forward to the Batman movie
just because of all the wild shit I'm hearing you know
I want to see all of them
I was legitimately excited for Bukowski
for a while and then I realized like
oh this isn't coming out
also I kind of realise like
oh Franco is just annoying
yeah he's annoying and like
he's whenever he is like
the main creative driving force
it's always shit
he kind of ruins it with Ziegle like
that room movie disaster artist
oh yeah yeah I mean like
did he need to put in all those
cameos and all his friends and
shit.
Yeah, I
and also cast
his brother
in the film as
well.
Davy Franco.
Yeah, I was a bit
like, come on.
I show a bit
restraint.
Yeah, I wasn't
too keen on that
but I never really
gave a shit about
the room.
Like I watched the room
once and I got
bored halfway through
it's like, I get it
it's bad.
But like people
are like, I watch it
three times a year
and we go to screenings
and throw spoons
at this, well you're
mentally ill.
You're more mentally ill
than that fucking
Yeah, you work for Sky.
Yeah, that's right.
You're mentally.
ill rat
but like
yeah you're right
this kind of
the joke
the room
like we get it
okay move on
yeah
people still like
it's hilarious
because he says
yes doggy
yeah
oh hi Mark
remember when he said
that
yeah
yeah
like it's a bad
film
but like
it's not worth
don't dedicate
your life to it
yeah
people are
obsessed with it
like
you know
simpletins
that's
troglodyites
at least
the fucking
that Mongo
freak
I mean
at least he's like
he's literally carved out a career
you know because that's the thing
all the people that go to like meet him
think they're doing it ironically
and the jokes on him he's getting
your money pal you're the fucking idiot
oh you're giving me money ironically
oh it's jokes on me
you know it to be more ironic if you gave
me twice as much money
yeah that would make you look a fool
yeah so I don't know
look if you
like the room
be it ironically or unironically
you're a worthless dog as you dive face down in the street.
That's just me.
We're guarantee you next little while we're going to get like a complete remake of the room
but with like loads of like people, like funny, happy people, being like, oh, I'm doing
high mark.
Yeah, yeah.
I can't wait for the article that says, the room's diversity problem.
Why is it at all white cast?
There are lots of very untalented people of colour actors in Hollywood.
but why weren't they in the room?
You know?
Okay, let's go on to a...
Very satirical there, Cadden, well done.
Brian's not going to congratulate you?
It's a bit too satirical.
It's a bit, isn't it?
Sometimes you can hold too much truth to power.
Very inside baseball now.
Anyway.
Okay, so let's go on to something that also made me sick.
Yesterday.
Yesterday.
So we're talking about it to start of the show.
Yes.
So we just jump into it.
Yeah, let's do it. No, I'll tell you what,
you intrigued me earlier
which doesn't normally happen. Okay.
So I watched this film and I'm so used to
like, I watch the film, you sit there and I
talk about it, all right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I walked
in, you're like, you've seen them yesterday
as well. I only watched it this morning there, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow, and you told me
there was a different version.
Yeah, so
I was watching it, I'll say this, no, okay, let me
just preface by saying, yeah, watch your words.
Yesterday is dog shit. It's fucking just
happy go lucky
fluff nonsense
typical Richard Curtis
bullshit the fact that
Danny Boyle did it is disgusting
but he's kind of not done anything
good in about 20 years anyway
so who gives a shit anyway
but like so it started off right
and I kind of expected to hate
it immense because I saw the trailer
as I said and when I saw the trailer
I was like what the fuck
I got so angry
the magic of the be oh it's not even that like obviously
the Beatles has some great tunes, but I'm not one of these
fucking, like, oh, the trailer
just had this real, like, sweet sickness
to it, or so, I don't know, and I'm not even describing
it, well, I don't know. That's a good description,
sweet sickness, yeah, just like, it was
disgusting and vile, but had this, like,
cotton candy aesthetic, like,
nobody remembers the Beatles,
well, and I'll bring the magic to the world.
She la la, la, la. It was like,
And he's an Indian but you can't say now about that
But no, right, so I started off watching it
And I was actually into it
Like I think your man Hamish Patel
Hamish is good
I thought he was very good in this
He's got that EastEnders training
Okay, yeah
He's honed his craft with Ian Beale
And Phil Mitchell
Yeah, yeah
All those other actors is fucking what
It's like, you know like Rada
You know like if you haven't done EastEnders
You're notting
Yes, exactly
So yeah
So it started off and it's like
oh this is kind of interesting because
no the bit that I found
interesting was this bit
it goes up it literally loses
it but like when he started
like so yeah you know the stupid blackout
thing happens which they don't explain good
yeah why bother fuck it
we're you know let's just buy into that
retarded bullshit premise but
anyway when he starts performing
the Beatles songs right
but nobody gives his shit it's like
you know he's not like his parents
he's like he plays let it be for them
they keep interrupting and then he's in the pub doing it nobody really cares everyone's like
whatever and then he's like you know he's having that moment like oh the problem's me it's like um
i know the songs are good but it's not connecting with people because of me and that was like i was
like oh that's an interesting thing and apparently now obviously they fucking literally
three seconds later he gets signed to a fucking label and he becomes a big star and goes exactly
the way you'd expect it to go
pure bullshit takes a nosedive
but that little moment I was like now there's
something that could be interesting you're right
there's something there or maybe
a thing where it's like people are too
cynical now yeah and that kind of
beetle shit it's like doesn't fly now
exactly yeah now here's the thing
the writer Jack Barth is his name
I believe Jack Barth
oh roasted end the episode
I take that back actually not because he's
going to kill himself now
we're going to drive Amanda suicide because we're too
satirical. Jack Barth, he
got this
script picked up
when he was 62,
right? He's the oldest guy
to ever have a screenplay
brought into development. That's interesting.
It was held, the original title was
held by Raymond Chandler back in the
50s. So, now this guy
fucking Jack Barth, he was
like trying to get fucking scripts
made for years. He actually wrote a spec script
for The Simpsons. Oh. That turned
out to be, you remember the one with Troy McClure
marries Selma, a fish
called Selma. Now he, like, it was
a spec script, obviously. Oh, I did like that episode.
They punched it up or whatever.
So he basically wrote
the original, and it was like
he kind of had this idea
if nobody came up with Star Wars
and I wrote Star Wars, I bet
you I couldn't sell it.
Because of the way the system is, studio system
works now. So we thought there's an
interesting premise. That's basically what happens in
his original version.
The guy, you know, the Beatles,
never happened and he like you know
he like records all the songs
releases them but he doesn't get success
and he kind of dies broke or whatever
that's a way more interesting
premise for a film yeah but then
of course fucking Richard Curtis comes in
and like just does what he does
can't they all be smiling yeah exactly
turns it into shite now another
thing actually
can I ask actually where are you getting this information
oh I've got sources have you got little birds
as well I've got lots I've got birds
that are bigger than your little
Birds. Have your little birds got big tits? Yeah, they do. Big lovely
Wikipedia, Brian. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, see... I'm literally talking to children
me. Hello, little birds. I just did this. I just went on Wikipedia just to illustrate
to the listeners and to you how inconsequential you are. If I wanted to be the research notes guy,
I could do it in a heartbeat. But I just let you have your little moment in the sun.
And then everyone thinks, oh, Brian is the academic. And Cadden's the fadding.
video to those racist voices.
I'm the one in the library
late night, like scouring through books,
okay? And the guy, security guy, is like,
morning, Brian. I'm like, is it a morning already?
Brian, when you ever gonna settle down
and find Mrs. Reich?
Well, I got the podcast.
Ain't no future net podcast nonsense.
That's the white people shit.
Anyway, but yeah, Jack Barth's
like Richard Curtis, like,
you know, he basically
re-adapted it. But he says he never read
Jack Barth's original version. But then Jack Barth was like, well, there were literally
lines of dialogue and jokes in my original
what's in this. So you definitely did read it. So there was like a bit of a fucking
you kind of, you took my idea, bastardized it, made it the
worst version of itself, claimed you didn't read my script when obviously
you did and plagiarized shit. So I think Richard Curtis really did this guy
dirty. I would believe that. He got, he got
but very fucked over.
And, uh, you know.
Anyone who's like that real tweet, like,
hmm, I like to write films about people who have a good time and they're all friends.
Yeah.
It's like, well, a warning sign right there.
Literally, you dig up graves and fuck the remains of people that you know.
You're being all Hugh Grant about it.
Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
You do pardon my indiscretion, my dear.
But anyway, yeah, so I just, that was so, yeah, up until that point, I was like,
oh, I'm actually kind of into the.
this he's a struggling musician he you know they forget about the beetles and he releases the songs and
nobody cares but immediately after that like three seconds later they record it by the way when they did
that little fucking recording montage why the fuck is his misses like his female friend doing back
and vocals she's a school teacher she's not a musician also to do the percussion they clap and
hit fucking buckets get a fucking drummer you mangoloid you can get a drummer for 50
quid a day it's not inconceivable
it's fucking retarded and stupid
and it just had that little fucking sweet
disgusting sick little
montage of happiness and like they're all
laughing and giggling recording it
it fucking turned my stomach
Brian I'm glad this is what I want now
it's the passion I want I'm surprised I didn't use
teapots yeah no let's
oh just jam jars like from that
montage bit onwards
it just got progressively worse
and I got more violently
but let's let's rain it back
stand down
okay put the knife down all right
all right
how long we've been going
we're okay
we're good you just
squeezed that stress ball
I'm sweating I'm sweating
he's on the ground now
he's convulsing
all right
he's okay now
so let's you went a bit too far ahead there
okay let's go back to the beginning
yeah
and we'll just go through the film
now do you remember what the character's name was
Hemish Patel don't we call him Hemish Patel
Jack
Jack Marlin
or Martin or Marrick
Jack
So Jack is a struggling musician
Yes
Okay
And he's got his
Platonic friend Lily James
Yes
Who is just a fucking hated her and this
Really?
Yeah I hated her too
The worst
Like
She's not a real person
She's kind of like generic
Like
Hello
We're friends
We're friends
But I've actually been in love
With you forever
Yeah
We're friends
But I'll kiss you
On the cheek
Sometimes
And she has no
Like
Real purpose
But she's just like, yeah.
It is very, I mean, like,
the Bechdel test
does not apply to this film, you know?
Yeah, and she's like...
Which, which, that's what angers me the most, Brian.
Yeah, so...
The Indian Bechdel test.
Two women on a bus
have to know each other
and have a conversation that doesn't evolve
being raped by a man.
Terrifying.
So, like, and she's just a very generic,
like, go on, Jack, you can follow your dress.
You're my little brown friend
Come on, Jack
Let's take a picture together
And I'll put it on Instagram
So everyone knows
I'll tag it
My friend
Not romantic interest
Because you know
You're more like a little dog to me
Like a little chihuahua
That's what you were
And I'll kiss you and touch you
Because you're literally
That lowest sexual threat in my eyes
Yeah
Like you can literally take your cock out
And I'd be like
Ooh cute
Oh lull
Yeah
So she's his
manager but he's not doing very well like even like he's doing a gig yeah but it's like no one's
watching which i you know back in back in the old days we now were rocking rolls to yeah i remember
like doing a gig at a festival in a tent exactly like that but uh the stripes were on the main
stage so everyone just like went there so we literally played to an empty tent so i know that pain
and i'm not even indian so i mean what the fuck like we were four straight white men and we couldn't
get success. That's what really
twists the knife.
So, like, he's leaving the gig then.
He's like, that was my last gig.
Yeah. No more music.
I'm not following more dreams anymore.
Yeah. So he's cycling home, all right?
Yeah. But then, the whole world
blacks out. The whole world
blacks up.
The whole world. Blackface
for 12 seconds.
Yeah. Some were more ready than
others. Like, the whole world blacks
out. Yeah. Okay.
wouldn't that cause like crashes and like
yeah like car crashes playing
like if the entire world blacked out
for 12
see if it was a second even I'd be like
okay maybe but like for 12
life support machines
there would be yeah I mean there would be
maybe close to like 100,000 people dead
yeah yeah yeah well all we care about is him
so he wakes up he gets hit by a bus
and he wakes up remember like Lily James
like oh it's not really funny
but your teeth are fall now
it's very funny actually
look your teeth
and he's just lying there
oh
look your teeth are falling out
that was the only white part of you
now it's gone
oh tough luck
the only pure good part
the only part I liked
yeah yeah
so you know he's in the hospital
then he's recovering okay
and as they do a very unsubtle
hint so like there's no Beatles around
like he's like oh will you still love me
when I'm 64
and she's like what
Why 64?
He's like,
What you mean,
you daft bird?
Yeah.
And then he meet with...
Very ham-fisted and contrived.
And then they meet up with some friends and he like...
Yeah.
He's like singing...
They bought...
They buy him funny presents.
They buy him a toy bus because you get hit by a bus.
So I remember that time that at my dad's funeral,
you bought me a rope.
Ah!
What a goose.
I was swinging around.
He's like, look.
Do you get it?
It's from yesterday.
Hasn't come out yet, but you'll laugh.
Oh, I know I'm 64.
But yeah, so then they buy him a new guitar.
And they're like, play us one of your songs,
but he decides to play yesterday by the Beatles.
And they're all like, what song is that?
That's brilliant is that.
The rest of your stuff shite.
And Lily James, and she hears me, like, oh, I'm coming.
She is literally frothing at the gash.
Like, br-hr!
Yeah.
Like a wild dog.
Literally, yeah.
Okay. So, and then there's like some, lots of funny jokes.
Like, it's almost as good as cold play.
You what?
Yeah.
Cold play.
That shit.
Yeah.
So then like, you know.
So he, he's like, what?
Come on.
You're playing a prank on me.
It's by the Beatles.
And they're like, who the Beatles?
Who's that?
So then the penny drops, okay?
Yeah.
He runs home and starts Googling the Beatles.
And he sees pictures of actual Beatles, all right?
He's like, what?
And then like, no oasis.
Yeah.
That was a nice little dig.
get Oasis
basically saying
because they're
they ripped off
the Beatles
I guess yeah
yeah
you could have done
the other band
the Beatles would
have influenced
lots of bands
yeah I know
yeah
but anyway
obviously
Danny Boyle has
something
against Oasis
probably
this is basically
his version
of a debt
trest like
so he's like
wait no
no Beatles songs
all got
me an idea
am I really
going to do this
so he starts
playing the songs
as his own
and then you
as you say
at first doesn't
work out very well
yeah
then like
seconds later
Ed Sheeran's like, oh, I...
Yeah, literally Ed Sheeran calls
him up. It's like, oh, I saw you
on that local British
TV show. It's like, did you
really, Ed Shearer? I just lived down the road
and I love local radio. Yeah, yeah.
I'm not in a Hollywood mansion
getting my dick socked by a girl
who I hope is 18. No, I'm in
I'm in peck him.
Fucking watching local access television.
Down the nag's head with Boisey,
okay? So, like, he just shows
up at the house. Now, how is this
a funny scene, all right? So he's
in the house and Jack's
dad is around, okay, looking
for food. Now, the joke is
he doesn't really care that Ed Sheeran's in the house.
He's in his kitchen, he's kind of like, oh, look, you're
in my way there, yeah. So he goes, oh,
do you know where the pickles are to
Ed Sheeran? Why would he know? Why would
he think, is he mentally
defective? He clearly is, yeah, yeah. Why would he
think this ginger man knows where the pickles
are? He doesn't make sense. He's never seen
before in his house.
doesn't introduce himself, like, where's your pick-oach?
Yeah.
Like, oh, well, you're just a mentalist.
Also, do you notice his parents are the two from the Kumar, like...
I did notice that, yeah.
Is that kind of lazy casting, is it?
Just be like, oh, get the two Indians who played a couple and that other thing.
Yeah, probably.
I mean, I actually do like those two.
Okay.
I forget their names now, but, like, they've been...
They're working actors.
Yeah.
They've probably both done Doctor Who, you know?
They've done Doctor Who, Casualty, Holby City.
the bill, they've done it all, baby.
Have you done Hotel Babylon?
If not, you fucking kill yourself.
But yeah, so, like, there is parents, and then, like, Ed Sheererner's like,
you want to be in my opening act?
In Jolet.
Yeah.
So then he says, opening act, all right.
And then you remember this bit where Ed Sheeran's like, I got an idea.
Let's have a little song writing contest.
Yeah, which is like, what?
Yeah.
Ten minutes.
Is this your idea of a rap battle, is it?
Yeah, literally.
Ten minutes, you have to write the best song.
Don't use anything you've worked on before.
as if you can tell.
Yeah, as if it, like,
yeah, so it's just,
it's weird,
yeah,
because it's kind of like,
wait,
is it,
is it meant to imply that fucking Ed Sheeran doesn't think he wrote the song?
I think,
or is it just like an ego,
he better not be better than me?
I think Ed Sheer just wants to see,
like,
how good is this kid?
This kid swim with the big dogs and me.
By the way,
Ed Shearin,
his guitar gives a more,
like,
you know,
charismatic performance.
He is just pure,
dead weight, just a lump of timber floating in a canal
and somebody decided to film it. Whose idea was it? I thought he was a cameo.
Whose idea was like, Jesus, Ed Shearing guy can act? This guy, he pops.
Yeah, we need write more scenes with him in it.
Can we get rid of the Indian and just have Ed Shearan?
Kind of feels like he doesn't want to be there.
Yeah. You know what I mean? He really, it's just like no effort.
He's kind of like, hi, I'm Ed Shearin and, oh, that's your song, is it? That's pretty good.
Yeah, it's magic, isn't it? Yeah.
He really, yeah
I get sensed the whole time
he's kind of glancing over to the side
He'd be like
Can I, am I done now?
Can I leave now?
Will this Scottish man put down the knife?
Yeah, this is a weird
Brit award ceremony
So we have lots of Ed Shearing
Montages of them all like, you know
giging with Ed
and then like going off on their own
and people are screaming
and we get kind of like
the friends reunion people being like
oh I love this music
from all over the world
Right, yeah, yeah
so yeah he becomes like a big sensation
and his clips go viral and blah, blah, blah.
So now we get Kate McKinnon.
Yeah.
As Ed's agent,
now this is a huge missed opportunity
because I think they're somehow mocking the music scene.
Yeah, yeah.
But there doesn't seem to be anything wrong
with Kate McKinnon or their ideas, really.
Yeah.
Just kind of like maybe some nice pictures.
Yeah, yeah.
It's not crazy.
Yeah.
I mean, like, if you wanted,
you should have done crazier where they're like,
how about we have the Apple logo tattooed on your head?
Right.
Or something like,
something
something a bit wackier
to show
like
they're just
kind of like
maybe shave
and wear
a shirt
so are you trying
to change me
that's not
who I am
yeah
or maybe they're like
forget about the music
you need
to be on reality
shows
or there could be like
instead of
Abbey Road
why don't you call
it iPod Road
something
sure
I'm spitballing
yeah
yeah
no like
I would hope so
I hope these
aren't ones that
you writ out
it's like
you're a workshop
up on the bus on the way
here.
Like it
Eminem and eight
come on the
come on man
you can do it
yeah
yeah
one chat
iPod road
it works
but yeah
I get you
but she's just like
yeah
I'm gonna make you
lots of money
yeah
yeah
because she is
she's very
what's the word
like very matter of fact
she's like
she's very L.A.
kind of like
yeah look
this is what you got to do
you know
you gotta be fuckable
you gotta have
we gotta make money here
yeah she's just
a business woman, which is just how business
people are. They should have done, like, maybe she yells at
interns. Yeah.
Or, like, I know something. Maybe she's, like, grabbing his
balls. I may say something
that might anger you, please don't throw your
cup at me. I actually,
I didn't mind Kate McKinan
in this. I thought she was good.
Missed opportunity. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let her act more. She's
just playing generic, like, yeah, good.
I kind of like her playing a
LA Kant because
she is an L.A. con.
Yeah, so...
It's easy for her.
Because, like, when you see her fucking dressed as Hillary doing Hallelujah, you're literally...
Oh, please kill yourself three times in a row right now.
Yeah.
Everyone she's dancing and doing her little S&L shit.
That's the Ginsburg.
It makes me fucking sick.
But when she's playing a horrible conch, that's what I like.
I'm kind of like, oh, I wish I'm going to try Turner.
Yeah.
Um, so, well, oh yeah, also, why do you about this?
There's no cigarettes in this world.
Yeah, what is that?
or like there's no Coca-Cola
he has to get Pepsi
is that even a joke like
what is that? That serves
no purpose except for that one
little line is like any Coke
what? Oh
Pepsi oh
it's like what? That's it
yeah so just eradicate Coca-Cola
for that one joke but what was the
so it's a world
that's slightly different but like
no cigarettes go for like
there's no fags in this world oh that sounds
terrible
there.
Keep going.
Keep going.
You know you want to.
No, I don't.
But yeah,
like,
it was just like,
oh God,
I wish I hadn't quit smoking.
I'd love a cigarette.
And then his friend Joe's fries.
Oh, yeah.
What's a cigarette?
Yeah.
Like,
what?
And that's it.
They don't explore it any further.
Go further then.
Like,
maybe something crazy.
Like.
Pointless.
Yeah.
Pointless.
What they should have done is he's doing well
with the Beatles stuff,
but he finds out the world's actually crazy.
Yeah.
Like there's low,
Let's say he's like, oh, is there any Jews around?
What's a Jew?
You know, I'm going to make him after all.
You know, like, it turns out that Holocaust happened.
Like, everyone's a Nazi.
Like, they should have done something funny, okay?
Yeah, yeah.
That would be a goof.
Funny and inspirational.
What I think Richard Curtis, I think Holocaust gags, definitely.
I don't know.
There's something, okay.
Or, like, he's like...
Four weddings and a Jew.
funeral, yeah
I'm okay
but then so next
he's like
he can't remember
the lyrics of the Beatles
songs
yeah
so he goes to Liverpool
to see the grave
of Elnor Rigby
right yeah
and then they show
a priest
and he goes to
strawberry field
and yeah
Abbey Road
yeah yeah
but there's people
watching him
yes
even at that
early gig
in Moscow
there's somebody
there like
oh you know
something's afoot
so you're like
oh this might be
thing with like the adjustment bureau or something like that
right they say there's a secret
secret organization have to take him out
yeah you know it could become like a
you know like they're going to kill him
yes and he's got to get back to his own reality
something like that yeah yeah yeah but no
just watching him so next he meets
lily james again yeah
brings her back to his hotel room starts grabbing
her arse or she loves it
yeah so he's kissing her and she's like
oh i can't do one not
stands and he's like
we could do more and she's like
Now you're going to leave for L.A. tomorrow.
That's the one not to stand.
You're good boy.
Yeah, well, you broke up Dominic West's marriage, you bitch.
Now touch it.
Yeah, who high and mighty here?
Yeah, yeah.
Hore, homewrecker.
That was her, wasn't it?
It was, yeah.
Yeah, your knowledge of whores is very impressive.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Much to learn you have about hoars.
When we're to big Hollywood parties, all right?
You can point at them and say it to straight.
their face and we'll be popular
yeah yeah they'll love us
so
then he does
oh yeah here's another missed opportunity
he goes to like a marketing meeting
right yeah they're like here's your new
album she's a picture of his face
yeah and it just it's called one man
only yeah basically he's like
it's called he wrote all the songs himself
and you steal it from an alternative
reality
because they keep going
oh just you're just one man and you wrote
all these songs
you're a genius
you're incredible
oh my god
but he starts to get
imposter syndrome
yeah
not really
imposter syndrome
because he actually
is an imposter
you know what
a lot of people
who have imposter syndrome
maybe there's a reason
yeah yeah
have you ever taught of that
yeah
yeah like
but did I learn to deal with it
should you
or I've just got better at lying
yeah
fucking hack fraud
come on name names
too
let's say erredin
yeah so he um
also they mentioned Thursday night live
did you catch that?
Oh I didn't even now
another of what was that's
Oh is that oh that's a joke like Saturday night live?
Yeah yeah wow
Wow that's actually the most pointless one
That's literally even more worthless than
Oh no Coke Pepsi or cigarettes don't exist
Like Thursday night live
but here's the thing
you could have
like a thing
where it's like
you know
the Beatles not being
in reality
has changed
little things
in ways
that you couldn't
think of
but coke
and cigarettes
they are not
connected to the Beatles
at all
yeah
yeah
like maybe
Thursday night
life
you could like
oh well
maybe that affected
the schedule
because the Ed Sullivan
show got cancelled
their leads
so
right
so lower
and had to
put it on
different
you know
something like
but like
here's the thing
they don't even
make
attempt to investigate how the world is different because, I mean, okay.
I'm telling you, Holocaust. Should we go in Holocaust?
But that's, I mean, to, dare I say, a Holocaust of even greater proportions has been, you know,
avoided by the eradication of the tobacco industry. So what is this? The tobacco plant never
existed. Is that why you don't know? Cigarettes? Because John Lennon didn't get to hit Yoko, is that?
like what's and like
Coca-Cola like arguably the
biggest corporation that's ever existed
even bigger than iron brew
yeah if you could imagine
but I'm saying like those two things
would undoubtedly have an effect
on like you know
like the capitalist structure
and even I don't know just like lots of shit
like there would be huge ramifications
of cigarettes having never existed
that's my phone
you keep talking Jesus I thought I was like
what's happening to my head right
am I dying?
Yeah, James' phone went off
But it's like a what?
What is that?
A stream?
Yeah, it's...
A babbling brook.
A babbling brook.
That's not you.
I know what?
It should be like,
go boon, diga, dinga dinga dinga ding digger digger diggit.
That's what I hear on my head.
That babbling brook is just to turn down the noise in my brain.
Turn down for what?
Yeah.
But yeah, so just pointless.
But it would be so good if it was like,
you're famous, you're successful,
but also space lizards rule American.
yeah yeah and he's like oh oh is it worth it you know but there's still no Jews right
okay well hmm I this really is a space lizards they have the state of Lizrael
Lizrael ladies and gentlemen Liz rail are you with me come on come on come on
please that's that's I'm not gonna top that give me my sitcom you can't give me a sex
and cheery's your shit.
Raymond's got a sitcom, what about me?
Lisreel. Come on, people.
Ah, I'm applying to Grip
next week. I don't care.
It's the end times.
So, um, he goes on
well, we, we think he goes
on Corden. Remember this? And Corden's like,
it's good to have you on. Did you write
all the songs yourself? Yes,
I did. Really?
Because there are two white men
backstage who said you
robbed them. And I'm inclined to believe
them.
Is this
that would
happen
on like
a fucking
not
like syndicated
like huge
American
talks
was like
is Cordon
the Martin
Bashier
of America
now
but it's a dream
yeah
it's a dream
yeah
yeah
so I
I was gonna hate
the movie
there
but it was like
oh it's dream
okay
you got me there
yeah
oh you were
babboozled
I was
yeah
I was like
I was being
all like
you know
James Corden
wouldn't ask that
because James Gordon's
a good man
yeah
who wouldn't
fuck up
someone's shit
or
yeah
smithy wouldn't do that
smitty's no grass
smithy wouldn't work for sky
I'll tell you that
okay so now
now he is the album launch
all right
yeah
Lily James is like
you know the way
you said you love me
and we've been friends
for you
thought I just bring around
my boyfriend
no problem is it
yeah
and her boyfriend's a real
like acaster
looking land
yeah he's actually
the guy
the sound engineer
who recorded
the songs for him like oh yeah yeah yeah so you go that's why you can't let them talk to any men any men
yeah that's actually that man is literally the only other man in the film that lily james talks to
for any extended period of time so obviously she's gonna shag him again you like a wild dog
he's just got some treats in his pocket you know something interesting here's a bit of wikipedia
knowledge to i got okay there was a whole subplot with and
Ana da Armis
you know
Anna de Armis
the girl
she was dating
Ben Affleck
she was in Knives
out
War dogs
okay
right
yeah sorry
yeah
the whole subplot
where her
where he like
meets her
and he like
has a fling
with her
okay
but it's not the same
and they took it out
because they were like
the dog-brained audience
to be like
how can he
how can he
love one woman
but not
do you're
supposed to be
with one person
your whole life
yeah
you know
so they just
cut out all her scenes, cause it made him
unlikable, that's the reason. That's weird
actually, yeah. It's such a simple to
movie where it's like, you like someone when you're
kids, and eventually you tell
them you love her. Because you're the, you know,
soulmates and the one
and all that shit. And the woman
you love, you know, she, she doesn't
really do anything else. Yeah.
She doesn't really... She just sits in a room and
waits for you to come to your senses
and she doesn't leave the house.
She doesn't wear makeup when you're
not around. Yeah. She
shops online because she doesn't want to meet men in car parks
because she'd be gagging for it
which actually makes sense.
The Anna,
the cut parts make sense because near the end he goes like,
I'm sorry he apologised to her.
And I'm like,
why is he apologising?
I'm sorry I let you out free.
Yeah.
But anyway, so back,
so he has the album launching is huge, all right?
But then some people show up and they're like,
we know your secret, we know the Beatles as well.
And you're like, holy shit.
Yeah.
This is going to get to net now.
Yeah, yeah.
It was like, because there's kind of like, at a press conference, you just hear,
who was your biggest influence, John Paul, Georgia, Ringo?
Yeah.
He's like, wait, what?
And then, you know, it gets overshadowed or, like, the other reporters start shouting.
But then you just see a yellow submarine been held up in the back of the room as if to go,
oh, yellow, you know, you're thinking, these two people show up and you say,
we know your secret.
Yeah.
And if you want to keep it, you got to work for us.
Yeah, pay us money.
got to kill princess diana you know
yeah sure you know we're time agents
and stuff
I keep I keep thinking of ways to make this movie
better my talents are wasted here
yeah they are
but yeah so these people it was like
you gotta kill 10 children
yeah and it's like a moral dilemma
or even if it was like we want a cut of the
profits or just rob a bank
just anything literally
so like the one little moment
that's the thing it goes back to what I said earlier
so you have that little oh oh this is
interesting. Immediately they throw a bucket
of cold water on it irrelevant.
The exact same thing here. So these
people show up, we know your secret.
Oh, what's going to happen? And we
want you to do something for us.
And you know what that is? What?
Keep making music.
We just want you to thank you because
the world without the Beatles is so much worse.
And neither of us can sing. So it's got to be you.
Because I'm a woman and he's Russian.
Yeah, yeah.
Yes, the Beatles.
I am so thankful for you
Oh, I'm Russian
Yeah, so they're like
It's great
So now he's got nothing to worry about it here
He's like
Those two no more secret
Imagine if he was like
I'm gonna kill him anyway
Because I can
I wrote let it be you dogs
You know, that'd be great
If he just gets coked out of his mind
He's like maybe I actually did write him
Why does John Lennon get all the fun
Get me in Asian
go on
batter us
yeah
go on
we're going to get naked
and it's going
to stop the war
somehow
yeah yeah
but no
they just
they don't have
fun with it
at all
they're just
every
I mean
so now
let's just
this is
sorry
yeah
joking on my own
right
so now
they've got
the whole thing
like
the new album's
coming out
or when the new
album
coming out
it's going
to change
the world
probably going
to stop
all war
and genocide
yeah
and even
he's like
to Lily
James, like, oh, I might
just stop, I might not release the album,
you know, I might just become a music teacher
and she's like, you can't, because
the magic that will be released from
the album, it's the most magic
magic, magic. If you become a
teacher, you're going to use your magic on
children, and they don't deserve the magic,
because the magic is magic.
I won't be able to get wet for you
anymore if you're just a fucking school
teacher. But you're a school
teacher, I know, but I'm a thought.
That's why I'm banging this, James
Acaster looking
cunt
Hello Jack
I love your songs
They're so pretty
Because you know
Male and female
Hmm
Alright
Do you remember that bit he has
No
There's a bit where it's like
Male and Female
And it's like sexist
Oh I don't remember that bit
It's another bit where it's like
Brexit's like when you make tea
And you put the tea bag in
And the tea bag goes all mushy
Anyway
Yeah
Anyway
God
I'm getting wreck
I'm gonna get a
Cabab after this
You do
You can't stop me
You've earned it
Yeah
So now he has the big
album launch
All right
Yeah
And it's like
Album launch
Commencing in
In 10
9
8
Stop the presses
Stop
And he runs down
And he's like
You know what
I didn't write
Andy's songs
The Beatles did
It's from a
Power of Universe
The Beatles
wrote all the songs
Okay
Keep up
but it's actually on stage in Wembley
at an Ed Shearing concert where he does it
Oh you're right
Oh shit I forgot we forgot about John Lennon
Oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah so that bit when they're like
Those two weirdos are like
Thank you for doing the Beatles songs
It's like maybe and he
But your man's all like
Oh but I feel like a fraud
Because I didn't write them
And is it right to do this
And then they were like
Well here's someone who could maybe
Help somehow or for whatever reason
Help
Yeah
Very good
Yeah so he goes
to John Lennon, okay, and John Lennon
doesn't seem to have any idea about his past
life. What do you mean?
I didn't get the sense that he knew about the Beatles.
No, no, he didn't.
So it's just this random famous guy's like,
hello, are you John Lennon?
Yes, I am. Did you have a good
life, did you? Yeah, yeah, and it's so
weird, like, yeah, because he's just some
like old man who lives by the scene.
Yeah, and he's like, so did you, did you...
Imagine Justin Bieber
showed up to your Gaff, it's like,
are you Bride O'T? Like, yeah, it's like,
Have you had a good life?
No, I fucking have it.
But I'm putting on a brave face or Bieber.
Like obviously, this, this new John Lennon,
he's just a guy who's worked this whole life, okay?
So if you were like,
you were probably better off working
than being successful and famous.
I would have gone to your head.
Yeah, I worked as a plumber fucking in the cold,
in the snow, and me bones hurt,
and me, my wife don't mean, my wife don't really get on too well,
but, you know, he's like, did you love your wife?
Like, yeah, I guess.
I've never had the option
to even question
What you think I can pick
Alright
She sucked me dick
And I got her pregnant
Alright
I didn't even know
How that works
I didn't even fuck her
But
You know
That's what I get
For getting with her
Romanian
You know
Her dad had a gun
Used her a voodoo
To get her pregnant
But yeah
And because of it
Now did you notice
Alright
So he just goes like
Well
It's good to you
The happy life
You're a
strange one you are
because of your skin color
but like so
Jack leaves
alright
yeah there's a shot
of John Lennon
they start playing
beat
Ed Sheeran's music
yeah
they kind of like
be like
we know who the new one is
they used a lot
of Ed Sheeran music
in this as well
a lot yeah
but so because of this
he's like
now I can tell people
the truth
which doesn't make sense
you think like
it would have been
in a case
where he's
you know what it is
though
John Lennon was like,
It's not so hard
If there's a girl you love,
tell her you love her
That's the only way to be happy
Wouldn't it be better
If it was a case where like
He meets the John Lent
And John Lennon is just a junkie on the street
You know, oh God, I wish I learned
How to Guitar
He's a 78 year old rent boy
Who wants to be to cook tonight, boys
Are you happy?
Actually, yeah, I am
It's quite fun
Meet new people.
Plenty of exercise.
Lots of interesting characters.
Get my steps in.
And they beat me.
Yeah.
But again, just everything about this film is so stupid and cheesy and ham-fisted chite.
So finally, he gets up on stage at Wembley and he's like, guess what?
I didn't write the songs, the Beatles did, and I've uploaded all the songs on the internet.
For free.
Yeah.
So power to the people.
and then the show like
came being like
No!
Do you have any idea
how many people work
How many careers he ruined?
Lives destroyed.
Because if he's like...
Because they sank probably millions
into marketing campaigns,
studio time,
all this shit.
And then he just goes,
oh, you know what?
I'm uploading it all for free.
It's like, well, you're going to jail then
because you signed multiple contracts.
You have infringed upon
you've lost us millions
we're legally allowed to kneecap you
right now literally that's in your contract
that's gonna happen right now
Kate McKinnon's
licking her lips
but yeah so he
and then he's just like well that
the career's over now do no one asked any
follow up questions so I'm just
back in fucking wherever he's from
could you imagine if like Mick Jagger
got up on stage like guess what I'm not the real
Mick Jagger I'm actually a ghost
and it was just like
okay well
it was nice when it lasted
do it TikTok
yeah
it's just like
you could have fun with that
where like he goes
he ends up the mental asylum
yeah see the whole thing about this
it's just like when you have a premise
this huge
there's always an inevitability
of missed opportunity
there's always going
because you can't do
but that's what I'm saying
in a fucking film like this
with a premise that's so big
missed opportunities are inevitable
because you can't do everything in two hours.
Yeah.
But they literally don't attempt anything at all.
You know what's like?
Like there are so many ways they could have gone to make it slightly interesting and they just don't at all.
You know, it's like if I was like, hey James, I've got you 100 pieces of Lego.
Yeah.
You can do anything.
You can make a Millennium Falcon.
You can make a pirate ship.
You can do anything.
And you were like, okay, and you started licking the walls.
Yes.
And I'm like, well, you can do anything.
he's creative in different ways
it's just such a like
yeah so then like he's like
oh now I'm a teacher with Lily
oh no and then he goes like Lily James
I apologize
take me back
yeah oh what I love you forever
now that I've decided I'm not gonna be rich
and famous I'm willing to shag you
also Lily James is never like
wait what yeah she's just like
oh you you wait a minute
lads yeah men
Oh, you did it all just to impress me.
Yeah.
So the next scene is them just like,
is there some joke about Harry Potter?
Yeah, which apparently was pitched by Sarah Silverman.
Wikipedia, baby.
Yeah, but I, you know what, because...
Are you looking at a different week?
Are you looking at smart people, Wikipedia?
Oh, you just get baby Wikipedia.
Yeah, I get the real shit.
It's just all drawings and shit.
Pop-up Wikipedia.
What's she doing, Wander, and on set?
I don't know, but just said in the production,
Richard Curtis said
the Harry Potter joke
was given to him
by the friend Sarah Silverman
but here's the thing
I don't even remember
the Harry Potter joke
what was it's just something like
that it doesn't exist
they've just retired now
and they're Googling shit
and there's like
there's no Harry Potter
and he's like
should I
and she's like
Matt's my man
or like you know
kind of like
oh here we go
best not
oh right
so he's like
Harry Potter does exist
maybe should I do it
and she's like
best not
We don't want a repeat of that
You're being successful
Yeah, you being rich and famous
We literally can't afford
Our kidney is an operation
And we can't afford it
It's so, I mean like
Ugh
As if anyone in their right fucking mind
Would turn that down
Is like imposter syndrome
Look at fucking pop stars now
It's all
It's literally bitches
They get ripped them out of the womb
They feed them miracle grows
So that they're 18
wink wink
get the fake tits
fake ass fake lips
you put them in a studio
with 16 producers
they write all the songs
you trot them out and stage
in the little dress
they dance and sing
that's literally what the music
industry is now
because because of mental health
we've added a new chapter now
because it used to be like
getting when they're young and sexy
milk them for all they've got
talent wise
then throw them in the bin
before they hit 30
and then throw them in the skip
and kick them on the way out
kick him in the
cunt on the way out
all right
but now
10 years later
you can be like
okay let's bring her back
now okay
and she's all crying
being like
I was
but I'm still staying strong
even though now
I'm ugly
because I'm 30
and now we've got
we can milk him
some more
yeah yeah
so it's just
it's awesome
but
God I love Hollywood
but I'm just saying
like anyone
in today's
modern
you know
music industry
system
that like would even
nobody would give a shit
like imposter syndrome like the whole thing is fake
nonsense you know so I don't know
again it's just another aspect of
why this film is so god-awful
and shit and just does not in any way
attempt to scratch the surface
of what could have been an interesting
idea yeah but hey
but so that was yesterday
so how did did you enjoy it
you know what actually all joke in aside
we put on the character
I thought it was a laugh a minute feel good romp
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No, I did though, for a bit
I was like, for the first like half hours
You're so gullible
I know, yeah
You're just clapping to
Well, you know
He's singing, let it be
That's what I do
But yeah, no
But awful, really awful
Yeah, I hated it
So yeah
And I knew I would hate it
So, but you know
I think we like
Give us an opportunity
A rare opportunity
to talk about something we didn't enjoy.
You're right, actually, yeah.
It's a bit of a novelty, isn't there?
Alright, let's get a kebab now.
Yeah, it's very sweaty in here.
I'm so sweaty.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, thanks everyone for listening.
Goodbye.
Head over to Patreon for extra episodes.
Peace.
Peace.
