episode. You've watched like three
movies in a row. Yeah.
Without me. Yes. Yeah, you watch
She Said Without Me. You know I love that shit, all right?
I found I enjoy films a lot more when you're not
beside me going, do you know, he was a Doctor Who
in 1987?
I think that's informative and fun.
Other people enjoy that now. I sometimes
go to cinema and santry and just kind of like stand up and like,
don't worry guys, I'll provide the trivia.
such a male pal
oh you couldn't
pay me to keep this mouth closed
gobble gobble
so you watch
like history of violence and you watch them what are shy
and then you watch the oh Florida project
as well I want to talk to you about those things
but I have been watching
Landman
Okay
Landman is the new kind of like
It's a badass
show for
White men
Old White Man
man.
Yeah, yeah.
And already,
because the only way old white men,
they're kind of bitter.
Yes.
They're angry.
Yes.
You know,
things didn't work out well for them.
Yes.
And I kind of re-relate to that.
And these old guys,
they sit down and they want to watch a show
where the old fella that everyone underestimates.
Yeah.
He's like,
suck my pecker.
And all the girls are like,
oh yeah,
let's do it.
So,
and there's like,
you know,
a college industry of Taylor Sheridan shows.
You know,
so like,
Yellowstone.
Yes.
Yeah.
Where it's Kevin Costor is the cool white conservative man.
Yeah.
And then there's Tulsa King.
Tulsa King is even more extreme because Tulsa King in that show, Sylvester Stallone is still
the hottest and toughest and biggest guy around.
Even though he's a senior citizen.
Yeah, but in that show, like, literally they'd be like in court for something.
Yeah.
And the mean old judge, she's like, no, I'm not going to, I'm going to go hard on you.
don't like you, he's like, come on, you know, it's me.
Hey, baby, come on, you know what you do, bang the gavel,
and she just falls in love.
Yeah, yeah, immediately.
She just slurs, semi- incomprehensible.
You know, I beg the gal whether I can bang you tonight.
How about that?
He's like Oscar Wild, he's got a wave of words.
And like, like, and like, let's say there's like,
there's like a rival guy in the town of Tulsa and Tulsa King, okay?
he's like, you better step off my patch, okay?
Because I got all my boys with me here.
And we're going to, there's going to be hell to pay.
If you mess with me, you know, I'm the, I'm the true Tulsa King.
And then Stallone will just punch him in the face.
Right.
And then the guy would be like, I now work for you.
That's how it works.
Yeah.
Okay, put your guns down, guys, all right?
This guy's in charge.
Let's just hand over our.
multi-million dollar corporate like criminal empire to this new guy and they say a lot in the show like
he's like a former mafia guy from new york or ever like that yeah and they say that like he's the
highest earner in mafia history uh-huh yeah right that's why they sent him to to Tulsa yeah yeah
or what is that he gets out of prison he gets out of prison he's in prison for years but i don't know
how long he's been in prison but in the show he doesn't know like what anything is he's like
He doesn't know what phones are
He doesn't know what the cinema is
He doesn't know what chocolate
I saw this
It was like a horse carriage
But like there was no horse
It was just moving real fast
That was like
Yeah what's going on here
I think in the season two
I think what's happening is
I've heard bits and pieces
I've seen bits and pieces of it
I think there's like an oil baron
Which is almost with the oil barons
Yeah, but he's an oil baron who's like a billionaire,
but he's also trying to get into the weed game in Tulsa.
He's trying to like...
That's where the real money is.
He's trying to sling ten bags in Tulsa.
Forget Halliburton.
That's yesterday's garbage.
Now it's all about hash kicks in Tulsa.
And then like, you know, it's like a billionaire versus the small business of Stallone, okay?
Yeah.
And they'll be like, Martin Star will hack into a satellite.
and then they'll take over his drones or something like
wow
so it really is just written
four boomers who don't you know
yeah yeah and this new show
is it's just as extreme
with the boomer stuff yeah but it's just
a tiny bit more grounded and I'm only
watched three episodes of Landman
but it's just so
bad title oh it is yeah land man don't you sound
dumb when saying it like land man is like
we'll call it that and we'll take it something better later
anything else like you know black gold or something yeah i mean is it possible that it was just
written by ai you know it could be but i tell you ai is pretty decent oh you're a big
you're a big proponent of i love simon harris and ai yes my two biggest question now if we can
combine those two oh i have a little simon harris in my pocket that ignores me i try to talk to
you don't care about us at all no well you don't care about the discipline yes i did
I actually do.
I think you're great.
I think you're wonderful.
Just don't touch me or look me in the eye.
But yes.
Oh, you don't think I have a big penis.
That's what you're saying?
Oh, I don't have a big penis.
Well, then, I'm not going to talk to you.
If you're not going to, if you don't think I have a big penis, but then my brother's an autistic.
And I talk to him every Christmas.
So you're in the wrong, madam.
You're very much in the wrong.
How did that make you feel, Brian?
I loved it.
He got schooled by that woman.
No, he got harassed by that woman.
I think, yeah, I would have arrested.
Their best buddies now, according to him.
Oh, yeah.
I'm talking to her on the phone every night, you know.
I love his, like, it's not on.
It's not on.
I had a moment of just, I was just flipping bad.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm so angry at myself.
Yes, yeah.
What a coward.
Oh, no, no.
What a spineless weasel.
He slaves every day for us.
And you got Mary Lou there killing guards.
Yeah.
and molesting children
and doing all this stuff yeah
molesting the children
of the murdered guards
she goes round to their house
saying oh daddy's not here
to protect you now
drop those pants boy
and Jerry Adams
like I'll shut
that's not that should ain't like right there
aye
and then they're just playing kneecap
on repeat
you know
while they molest the children
and these little orphaned boys.
That's the Sinn Féin government in a nutshell.
I'll tell you what, that is good political satire.
I kind of wish you were, you know, those political cartoonists.
That'd be pretty good, yeah, yeah.
I love those cartoons where it's kind of like, you know,
like Trump wearing a hat that says corruption on it.
I don't know.
Do you think people will get it?
Well, we'll get back to Landman the minute.
Now, I'm going to do something that I think is very annoying,
but fuck it.
I'm going to talk about something
I half remember from a podcast.
Okay.
So I was listening to a podcast about Trump, okay?
Right.
And it was negative.
Okay.
And they were saying that Trump's appointing all these people that are bad.
But their theory was, you know, you ever hear Matt Gates?
Yes.
No, Matt Gates.
Gates, okay.
So they tried to appoint him.
And you know him, he's been accused, like being with 17-year-olds and stuff.
Yeah.
Taking her over state lines, because that's what they love to do.
Classic, classic mistake.
And also you see his Venmo payments.
No.
Oh, yeah.
So Venmo is kind of like Revolut.
You have a little like message with each payment, okay?
So there's all these payments to like...
Four tame pussy.
No, no, it's all these payments of 17 year old girls and stuff, okay?
Oh.
But it's all like for being awesome.
For an awesome time.
Yeah, for being so freaking cool.
That's way more nefarious than if it just said for pussy.
Yeah, yeah.
Is it just like four, six?
sex.
Yeah.
It's this way more like...
For J's cut.
For my special hour with you
that I'll never forget.
Yeah.
But they were saying that...
I don't know if it's true or not.
I don't really care.
But Trump is doing 4D chess.
Okay.
So he's appointing the paedophile
and the Linda McMahon types
to distract you from the actual
really bad people.
So who are the really bad people?
Well, they're saying there's some guy...
And again,
don't know, there's no way to find out
some bloke
there's some bloke who runs like
hospices and hospitals
so that's big money all right
and he's
his big thing is
he's trying to get Trump to make it harder for patients
to sue hospices and hospitals
right because he's fucking sick of all these patients
making a big deal out of little things
you know
because if you like it's kind of like
you know if you're trying to run a business
okay you can't every Tom Dick and Harry sue
you just because you know they got bitten by a rat or something
sure apparently the hospices do with a lot of rats
hospices do yeah oh there's a rat problem in the hospice
that's you you don't need that do you
that's you know during pallet of care
or it's a kind of like oh what you think that
if a rat bite you you're going to get sick
love wake up and smell like coffee
you're on the way out
if anything the rat could sue you
The rat takes a bite out of you
And then it's sick as fuck
How about that?
You fucking goober
How about you shave the rat
And give yourself a wig
You lollipop looking goofball
Oh, all right
Do they ever say that, Brian?
I'm making suggestions
Is it still political satire of Britain
About doing it, right?
It's a trope with a hat that says
Oh, what you just said
it's a really big hat
well also it's funny is a lot of people
go into the hospices now
they're not actually dying
no because you get money
lazy bones you get money for more people
in there so people that are kind of on the cusp
and like should they get the surgery
you're like nah just go to the hospice
with the rats
and the elevator is all broken
what the fuck
so they actually have ramps now
on the stairs
okay so it's like it's a bogging down
yeah oh my god
you wield some chemo
cunt, okay?
You gotta slide them down the stairs
and don't hit the rats
on the way down.
So they're saying
they're kind of like,
you know, obviously
like they're letting them go to shit.
Okay,
they're getting government contracts,
so don't need to try too hard
and you're sticking them any old piece of shit
and it costs too much money
to like, you know,
why are you going to give them
like food that isn't stale?
Yeah.
You know, come on.
But these guys,
this same guy, okay,
has bought a load of businesses
in, like, hospitals, I should say,
in, like, Africa now.
Right.
And those hospitals are even worse.
Yeah, they don't complain about the rats over there.
But there was some journalist who was, like, questioning,
some African journalist who was questioning, like, what was going on.
Yeah.
And then her car just exploded.
Ah.
Coincidence, I assume.
Yeah, yeah, just one of those things.
So, um, I listened, but again, I was listening to the podcast at one year,
and I was, like, doing work with the other.
So, like, you know.
Your dad was screaming out.
No, that's wrong, Brian.
Daddy, quiet.
Father, the hospice situation is gross.
It's absurd.
Yeah. I may actually get more details about that.
That sounds interesting, though, yeah.
Obviously, RFK was a big one.
Everyone was kind of freaked out that he's the new.
I think RFK, people were distracted by the other ones.
I think, like, Gates, Matt Gates is he's the only one that they couldn't get him in.
No, what?
But again, they're saying that's like, okay, look, we won't, we won't put in Matt Gates.
You're happy now.
We can get all the rest in,
but no paedophiles.
You're happy?
What was he going to be appointed as?
I have no idea.
Nothing too sexy.
You know, something like the treasury or something.
Something not unimportant.
Transport secretary.
Yeah, yeah.
That's not the sexy thing, you know.
I'm a minister of bodacious babes.
They're over 18.
Yeah.
Just, you know, could catch me out.
Yeah, minister of
Twins
What are we talking about, sorry, oh Landman
Landman, yeah
We got off topic there
So what exactly is the plot of a landman?
So Landman is about
Billy Bob Thornton and he runs
a big oil refinery company
Right, okay
Whereas Yellowstone is just farming?
Just farming and land and all right, yeah
So this is like next level
I'll tell you what, I'll think he owns a lot of land
So Kevin Costor is a land man
yeah they're all of that again again any new oil whatsoever yeah right right have a title like that
you know yeah uh oil and blood i mean i don't want to be i don't want to come off like a lip
char but this all sounds like kind of just cut and paste shite that's all the same i'll tell you
well at the start i was like this is gay yeah and then it won me over again and then it became
gay again okay then it won me over it's kind of going to the george you know uh but so it's
It starts off, okay, and I didn't fully understand this, but Billy Bob is doing a deal with, like, the cartels to buy their land, because there's oil in Mexico.
Okay.
Okay.
So because they're, like, Mexicans, okay, they can't just, like, sit down and have, like, a business deal with him.
They got to put, like, a bag over Billy Bob's head.
Oh.
And bring him to, like, fucking, you know, in middle of the desert.
Right.
And then they shoot, like, his buddy in the head.
Oh.
Okay.
And, like...
That's how you do a land deal.
Yeah.
And then with Billy Bob, they're like, why don't we kill you now, Gringo?
He's like, hey, suck my pecker.
They're like, we respect you, Gringo.
You are now in charge of the cartel hunts.
You control everything.
We respect you.
So literally, like, Billy Bob is like, there's papers in my pocket, take them out, sign them.
And the cartel sign them.
Right.
Because he says, suck my pecker.
Sure.
And they're like, pleasure doing business with you.
Yeah.
And that's the start.
I was like, okay, this is pretty stupid.
but the next scene
really won me over
next scene is
a mysterious plane
like a private jet
lands in the middle
of a motorway
huh
you're like what's going on here
a BC motorway
no it's empty
it's dead
just the middle of the desert
all right
where literally you can like
you can't hear
no cars around
from miles and miles
okay
lands in the motorway
a truck
comes by
okay
and smashes into the jet
and it's all practical
oh that's pretty good
it's like a truck
smashing into a jet
jet goes on fire
truck
oil truck
goes on fire
as well
you know
they have a guy
and they're like
old school
it's a guy
set on fire
running around
you know
it's not like
the fake
CGI fire
yeah yeah
that's how they
really get you
that's like
fuck and hell
what's this
so it turns out
one of Billy Bob
well it's a mystery
one of Billy Bob's
jets
was reported stolen
and now
a month later
the jet is
found on the motorway
burnt up
the truck is burnt up
and there's a
fuck ton of heroin
on the jet
the only thing
that wasn't burnt up
is like all the heroin
because it's gone
all over the
fucking road
okay right
right right
it turns out
it was Billy Bob's
private jet
that got stolen
and it's
Billy Bob's private
motorway
oh
so these guys
so powerful
they own motorways
this is like
Billy Bob
doorway that he
lets the government
like he lets people
use it
sometimes
but he built it
because he needed
it's all transport
you know
right right
so he's like
he is the king
he's incredibly wealthy
incredibly wealthy yeah
yeah
and you know
they kind of go into
now I like to start
because it's going to like
to kind of what it's like
to be on
in oil and all
aspects so like
there's the Billy Bob
kind of element
then there's like the
the guys like Michael Pena
oh yeah
and they play the guys
that literally
they live in like
basically it's an oil town
where it's like
it's like fucking
like army barracks
in a way
right
you're a little small
area
single bed
You get up at like 5 o'clock, some guy rings the bell.
You all get up at your fucking toolbox and your hard hat
and you get in big buses and you go to the oil rink.
And he's working the oil refinery rinks.
Sounds kind of horrible.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was like, that's the life for me.
That'll toughen me up maybe.
I'll stop listening to podcast.
And then I'll have my own motorway.
The Doctor Who motorway.
Beep, beep, out away.
I'm driving my cardus
Tardis
It works, yeah, it works, yeah
There we go
Doctor Who actually you have a car
Called Bessie
Bessie
Yeah, yeah it was an old kind of car
Like proper like bongk, bonk
You know that kind of like
Yeah, yeah
Old air horn, that kind of thing
Yeah
Anyway, we're not here talking about
Doctor Who James
Stop trying to make them like Dr.
Oh, I can't help myself
It's lost the whimsy of it all
yeah so it's billy bob and like john ham is in the show but john ham i imagine he probably
shot all the scenes separately because his whole job is he's like the business guy who like i think
runs billy bob i think he's like in charge of billy bob oh i think he sells the oil to john ham
oh i see right yeah yeah so john ham's like where's my oil i'm like we got a problem that's your
problem, not mine.
And it's all these
scenes of like John Hamm is somewhere
gets a phone call and then he's
like, what's going on? Well, this happened
found the jet, this happened, okay.
Hang up. Yeah, yeah.
So he's just always like in an office or whatever.
Or like a fucking like dinner
or somewhere. It's like, I got to take this.
Honey, please. I got to take this.
All right. What is it now?
You know? So that's all John
Ham does. I watch three episodes. That's all he does.
And he's got a daughter in it. I showed you
the daughter. You did? Yeah, Billy
Bob's daughter
in it
and she
is like
I didn't
expect this
show to be
so crass
so they say
the F word
in it
oh really
fuck
yeah
and there's a
bit in it
where the
daughter's like
she's got
a boyfriend
yeah
and Billy Bob's
like
I hope
you're practice
in protection
she's like
don't worry
daddy
he can come
anywhere on me
as long as
he doesn't
come in me
that's my little
girl
just like
your daddy
taught you
yes
but
she
the actress is
very attractive
she's 27
in real real life
but she's
playing a high schooler
is that right
I believe so yeah
yeah yeah
so
she's 27
so hey
not gonna catch me on
I wasn't accusing me of anything
yeah
the only thing I like
you just see her
and her mother
who's also really
fucking hot
just like lying by the pool
in bikinis
yeah they're very spoiled
women
they lie around the pool
and they're
You're like, Billy Bob, go get me three French fries.
Well, I can't just get three.
I've got to get, you know.
No, just buy a load of French fries.
Throw them out.
Just pick the three best ones, give them to me, Daddy.
Oh.
Yeah.
I'll do any with my little girl.
Meanwhile, Michael Pena is on fire.
Could I have the fries you throw out?
No, that one set a bad example.
I don't want to set a precedent here.
So Billy Bob's got these problems.
So there's this jet that went missing, and now it's
of drugs. We don't know yet how
if Billy Bob's involved with the drugs
or not. Okay. And also there's
like Michael
Michael Pena. Yeah. He isn't last
past first episode. What?
So what happens is he's like working on one
oil rink. Yeah. Oil rig?
Oil rig. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah. And he's working on it and
something's not turning. So he's like
oh fuck it hell. And he starts banging a wrench
with a hammer and get a turn and it causes
one spark. And the whole thing
goes up. So now Billy
Bob's got fucking problems with like
you know the environmental agency and the
families of the workers got blown up
yeah yeah so he's dead
he's dead
completely melted yeah he's literally
like charcoal that doesn't make sense
why because he's a big star
you wouldn't get him in for one episode
yes you would surprise you
you can't afford him for like you're paying
for john ham you can get john ham no butter
I get john ham right here
Michael pinia
John ham and cheese
John ham's doing fucking toast to London all this shy
I don't know
I think he's gonna
But it's like you know
When they have like
Drew Barremor and Scream
That's different
It's a movie
A TV series is like
Yeah do you need them longer then
Yeah
You can't afford him long
He doesn't want to do longer
Okay alright fine
I get so defensive
I'm an idiot then yeah
Well look maybe you'll come back
Yeah I think he's gonna come back
In flashback
Or he's not actually dead
Well he looked pretty dead
Yeah but these shows are like
Oh but I had
my secret hatch, you know, it's
retarded. It's a dumb show
for retards like you. I'm like
no, it's not. It's amazing.
I learned so much.
They got me real hype at oil.
You know oil is making more money
than ever before. Really?
Yeah, I taught oil is on the way down.
I thought it's a finite resource.
No, oil has never been more expensive and also, okay.
Yeah, because there's less of it.
Yeah, which means the money goes up.
Okay.
Uh, but here's thing.
If it's, there's less of it, there's
to sell so eventually it runs
out. That's a future problem. At the moment
okay, oil is like number three
let's say in the biggest industries in the world
but when any of those top industries
go up those industries
need more oil. Okay. So like
they all go up like the car manufacturing
they're making more cars than ever before
which I'm surprised by that as well. I thought to be
less but aren't they all like
electric vehicles and stuff?
Only a small amount just be honest. Have you seen
the Jaguar stuff? Oh yeah.
That's so funny. So you
The only way, they made Jaguar, like, trans or something, didn't they?
Yeah, they had trans people in the ad or something.
Yeah, so whatever, okay.
Why are trans people not allowed to drive Jack?
You know, it's funny, I saw multiple people retweeten.
Do you ever see the Villains ad from like 2012?
Villains?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, okay.
So, this is, picture this, okay.
It's somebody in a suit driving a Jaguar, all right?
Okay.
And camera turns around, it's Mark Strong.
He's like, yeah, I'm always playing the villain
And then there's a chopper above him
It's Tom Hiddleston
He's like, I'm playing the villain is so much fun
And then someone walks out of a fancy mansion
It's Ben Kingsley
Okay
And sometimes it's good to be bad
And then the helicopter lands
And the jockey, skinny, limey fruit cakes
Like, oh, I'm such a bad man, you know I am
I'm a naughty little bugger in I
Yeah yeah
But then like
You know Jaguar pulls boy
The Jaguar's there
The three fellas there
It's like yeah
It's good to be bad
Jaguar
Right
And I see all these guys post to be like
This is when Jaguar
We're making cool ads
And balls
For men
Yeah
Yeah
We're just know a little boy
Didn't we
Oh I love to be bad
I do
Yeah but that's when
fellas could be
fellas, am I right?
Yeah. They took out the little Jaguar,
the little image. Is this the word Jaguar now?
Well, that's,
that's way stupider than, you know.
Yeah, that's more offensive than that.
Unless they made the Jaguar trans.
Maybe that's why it's not there
because it's at the, you know, it's at the clinic,
get the hormones, and then it'll come back, you know.
With massive teeth.
And a rainbow-colored wig or whatever.
Whatever happens at those clinics, I don't know.
Yeah, I don't really know
But it's almost like
People keep falling for it
It's like they seem a Bud Light
But didn't they bring it back
Yeah
It's like it's like you remember they made new coke
Yeah, it's gonna be gay coke
It's like yeah
It's like and now don't worry guys
We came back and all these old fellas
Like I can finally stop the boycott
Yeah yeah
Now that they're not gay
I'm gonna buy three Jaguars
Yeah like anyone who's fucking stupid
Enough to fall for that shit
It's never gonna be able to afford a Jaguar
Like we were watching Christmas ads here
a while ago.
Yeah.
And I forget what
company it was,
but it's like,
Boots?
Maybe Boots,
you know,
but it's like,
boots than something
like most men are going to
anyway.
Speak for yourself,
darling.
I just be like,
I'm there five nights a week.
Knocking boots.
Ooh.
But me as men,
is that,
I get raped to the local chemist,
Brian.
I go in for a box
of Solfidine
and they rape me
because they know
I can't say no.
Yeah.
I don't you get to
solfidine.
Oh, this is just padded all extra
Oh, they got me again
Well, it's not like lads down the pub
We're like, oh yeah, Saturday night, a bit of boots
Come on, lads, we'll go down booze
Play the fruity machine, get a cab
And head round boots
For some mascara
So they made some ad where like boots is like kind of gay
But again, it's just to get people online
Be like, boots are gay
Yeah
for women now
and you fall for it every time
don't you
I get so angry yeah
it's like when made Doctor Who
gay
yeah
when in the 60s
oh burn
is that when it started
it did yeah
sweet
63 I believe
it was a 61st anniversary
there in 23rd
really
yeah what did you do for
61st I said
did you go to boots
no
I just
I go to boots
to read my Jaguar
back in
scenes.
But anyway,
Landman.
So what else?
Back to that teenage daughter.
Tell me more about her.
There's so many scenes of like,
to do two separate scenes of
Billy Bob smoking where he shouldn't smoke.
Okay.
It's like the first scene,
he's like at a police station
and this cop is like,
hey, sorry, sorry, you can't smoke in here.
He's like, hey, not right now.
I don't need this.
Oh.
Hey, you can't talk me like this.
I'll talk to you anyway.
God darn want
He's like
Well I'm gonna arrest you
And then like the sheriff comes by
He's like
All right Billy Bob
Let's head off together
He's like yeah
That's right
Hey I want you to fire that rookie
Yeah
No he does instead he's like
Yeah
You don't like my mouth
Well your wife does
And she also likes my dick
And gives him the middle finger
Wow
Some little rookie you know
Yeah
It's not really that oppressive
If you're a billionaire
air oil barring.
He throws the
fucking cigarette
down the ground
yeah.
So he's making a mess
now as well
and then he does
the exact same thing
in a restaurant
the next episode
like please stop
smoking a restaurant
yeah
no
fuck you
and your wife
loves my dick
and then he's like
you know
if you give my wife
too many tequila
they'll be fighting
you know
you won't make it out here
and you'll be in a box
you all just kind of like
tough talk
you know yeah
but again
it's like kind of
still own the way
Billy Bob, like, he's not exactly the most mostliest man in the world.
No.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying...
It's kind of skinny, isn't it?
Yeah, but, I mean, it'd be sometimes in it where he's...
I'm old.
There'd be sometimes in it where he's literally talking, like, five big black guys.
He's like, you wouldn't like me when I get angry.
And the black guy's like, we're sorry.
Yo, man, I don't want no trouble, dog.
Well, too bad, partner, you got trouble.
What?
You know what to do, fellas, and they all get tired on their knees.
Let's take turns.
It's so big, it's going to take all of us to do it.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, it's just like pure, like, boobber, white guy fantasy stuff, you know.
All the black guys are scared of me.
They respect me.
Don't get me wrong.
I fall for it as well.
much as any
it's not like
I'm above it
I love it too
I'm like
yes Billy Bob
show them
show those
good for nothing
hoodlums
his boss
when Lewis
you're like
oh Billy Bob
what would Billy Bob
do
I
I
you know
I let a cigarette
on a bus
and they gave me
a fine
and now
I'm in lots of trouble
and I'm not allowed
to take the bus
anymore
you're smoking the bus
and you're like
stop like
yeah
The sheriff after you.
The show itself is actually pretty stupid now.
I think I won't watch much else, you know.
I like living in the world, but like after three episodes,
it's like I'm done, you know?
And even then, I wasn't really fully paying attention.
It's funny you talked about like, you know, kind of white guy fantasies and all that.
You're voting the election, are you?
Yeah.
Have you heard of Val Martin?
No.
Oh, Val Marrhy.
He's an independent candidate for Kirk McCross, I believe.
Oh, okay.
You're talking about him on Celtic Lig.
He's independent.
He's against, like,
he's talking about
Dublin's gotten this shit.
It's full of Asian gangs now.
And there's too many immigrants and stuff.
And, yeah.
Yeah.
He's, like, kind of like,
normal in that sense.
But, like,
they're talking about him Celtic Ligers.
Yeah.
And he's got a very odd kind of,
like, he's become, like, a big star
and, like, TikTok and all that.
Oh, really?
But he records, like, just on his phone.
And he'd be listening, like,
on the road, be like,
I'm on the road here now.
Look at that house now.
uh jeez young people love living the house but sure immigrants come along and they buy all the houses and
there's nothing left for anyone uh it's a grand old house now and like he like he like burp and stuff
and he just won't do a second take oh right okay and he like get his you know words wrong and
like i'll start over just starts you know there's a video again but he doesn't edit it no no no
that's hilarious and like he had like a video of like him going around his house being like well
you want to vote for me you should get to know me more so here's me house and he just walk around
be like, so there's the toilet there.
You've got to pull the string there
to get it going now.
The toilet's on a bit...
I built it now.
It's on a bit of a slant, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
So, but it's good, good crack now.
I'd never be bored.
I got my books there, the art of war,
and I like...
Shunt has you.
Yeah, yeah.
And he was saying, like, he used to be a guard
for like four years, you know?
Oh, wow.
He was like, and I'd be solving crimes and all that.
And it was good now.
And tell you, when I were tired,
even the travellers respected me.
Weird thing to say, but all right.
I'm surprised I haven't heard of this guy.
Yeah, well, I'd say look him up.
We'll watch some videos of him.
Yeah.
I'd need to watch more of them.
I've just been listening to Celtic Liger's talk with him.
Right.
And the thing is like, he literally puts out, I think, like, a video every single day.
And they're all these, like, long meandering videos.
Yeah, yeah.
And I tell you, another thing, as all this stuff, like, I don't think it's true at all.
He's like, I'll tell you, shouldn't Fain say they want to, they want to stop young people from buying houses.
I don't think this.
I don't think any political party.
would say that ever.
And they say they don't like old people and they want all
the old people to be assisted suicided.
And let me tell you
now, I'm going to put a stop
to that. So if you love your
granny, vote for me.
But like Celtic Ligers do the like
the actual fucking donkey work.
Like listen to them and they get the good clips.
Yeah. And all that. Yeah.
Tell you man, Celtic Ligers,
they fucking do the work. I could never do
that much. They're watching all this shit.
They're like on Twitter and they're
like, um, yeah. They're whistling all these.
from politics stuff.
I'm the opposite.
I've zoned out so much.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Like, because, you know.
I've got better things to be doing.
Do you?
You're unemployed now.
Dr. Odyssey.
Oh, right.
I showed you some Doctor Odyssey.
Yeah, I wasn't like that.
Oh, you loved it.
That wasn't written by Taylor Sheridan.
I could tell.
Yeah, it wasn't.
He wouldn't put up with any of that nonsense.
Actually, that's a very interesting point,
because Dr. Odyssey is a show about this handsome doctor on a cruise ship.
Yes.
But he looks like a really nice guy.
It's Joshua Jackson, he kind of shows up like, hey, how are you getting on?
I used to help like underprivileged children in like Africa or wherever.
And then like...
I'm rich and handsome, but I just can't seem to find a girlfriend.
And when I'm not, you know, crying over the plight of women, I'm writing poetry, you know.
But like if it was a Taylor Sheridan show, it'd be like, who'd be like did get now?
Instead, Joshua Jackson, did get like, not Liam Neeson, but they get like some of like...
Yeah.
an aging star
I'd see like
a
what's it
Clive Owen
That'd be a good one
Yeah Clive Owen
And he'd be like
You know
You can't smoke
On the crew ship
Yeah
suck my dick
Well you fuck off
You little
Slag or do
I'll fuck I won my yeah
And they'd be like
He's so charming
Yeah
I don't know
What's called
Doctor Odyssey
Doctor Odyssey
So he's a doctor
On a ship
called the Odyssey
Right
Yeah
I don't know
I didn't like it at all
Yeah
I'm going to watch
That's the key
You've been unemployed
Now I can watch all these things
Yeah
Let me check my notes see
Tell you what
Real quick there
I'm pretty sad
Fucking Todd Shalons
Just what's his name
Todd Salons
Salons
Yeah
He just can't get funding anymore
Really
It's been weird
Maybe it's because
All of his films
are dog shit
Like I love the first two
Like welcome to the dollhouse
And happiness
I think are legit grade
Yeah
everything after that
dog shit
like it's insane
the drop off
in quality
is serious
I've never seen these other films
man I've watched
I haven't seen them all
but like
tell me but so like
let me just go through
is actually filmography
because I want to
what's the first one
welcome the dollhouse
isn't it
welcome the dollhouse
that's good isn't it
that's really good
yeah that's fantastic
despite like
this little girl in school
who's getting bullied
but like
she's also a really horrible
person to like people in her old life and yeah uh yeah like he's just very good at like the kind of
the real dysfunction of suburbia he really like examined that middle class kind of dysfunction
no and like uh what about storytelling storytelling is okay i guess like it's split up into two
so the first one is about uh selma blair she's a student
and she's taking this creative writing class
and the teacher or the professor
is a very kind of pretentious
like asshole
and he like he's always talking shit
about their writing and how they're not good at it
but he's a black guy as well
and his whole thing is like banging
little white
the thing that Todd Salons is
he really leans into the controversial topics
like he's very
that's what he got renowned for
I think he's kind of got a reputation
being a bit of an edge lower
Yes
Yeah
See but like in the early 90s
Well mid 90s
I suppose when he started
Like that was still kind of
You know
It was considered
Pushing the envelope
Thought provoking
It was edgy
But it had a point
You know
Well this is back to your time
People thought like
There's no more problems anymore
So the racism's been solved
Yeah
War is not even an issue anymore
You know
And like
You know
Israel's okay
You know
Everything's grand you know
So now you can't
and push it and it's like whatever you know
we're now a bit more kind of like socially
kind of like aware
yeah and annoying
and they won't let me watch my paedophile movies anymore
I want to see Dylan Baker
I have to make my own
yeah
but yeah
so storytelling then the whole thing is like
so the black professor bangs Selma Blair
and the whole thing is like
he makes her call him the N word
while they fuck
and then but then
after
and she decides it was rape
and she writes a story
about it. Basically,
she writes a story for the creative
writing class about how the professor
raped her. And then the professor's
like, yeah, rather
potentious and self-indulgent,
not very well written.
Would you recommend it as a novelty?
I mean, for a novelty, yes. That's the first half.
What about, oh, sorry, second half, yeah.
Second half is then about Paul Giamatti.
He's a documentary filmmaker.
who wants to he basically follows this high school student fly in the wall kind of you know yeah yeah
but the thing is the kid he's like he's a real he's a dipshit like he's an idiot like he says
he doesn't want to go to college he just wants to host a chat show like Conan o'brien like that's
his whole thing it's like i just want to be the next colon o'brien so that's pretty funny yeah but
then paul d'bara's like yeah but you know Conan o'brien went to harvard what really
Really? Yeah, yeah.
I think there's a bit with, like, a dream sequence where the kid goes on Conan O'Brien.
That makes sense. Conan would do that, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. See, it's not great, but it is worth a watch, I think.
You know, especially like the sex scene where she's calling him the N-word.
Of course, yeah.
If that doesn't get you hard, I don't know what will, to be honest.
James loves that.
I sure do.
And he did it on me.
Brian, if you're not going to commit to the bit, why did I cover myself?
and boot polish.
Ah, come on, just say it.
I'm not recording.
I told you I switched the camera off.
They're just doing it.
The red light means it's not on.
So then, now, paladrome.
Palindrome.
I was chatting to a guy about this a while ago now.
And he didn't like it, but him talking about it made me interested in it.
Yes. Well, I'm going to agree with him because I didn't like it either.
Okay.
Now, when you hear about it, you hear about it.
you hear what it's about
you know it is like it definitely
grabs your attention
it's so poorly executed though
like just from a technical standpoint
it looks like it was filmed
by like a novice
student filmmaker and you know
I'm sure that was intentional but it kind of
it's borderline unwatchable
like what is it even
it's like
some do abortion isn't it?
Yeah yeah yeah
but then halfway through
it switches
I thought the gimmick was from
What this guy told me the gimmick is that
The main character is constantly changing
Yes, that's what it is
So it's like at one point it's like this overweight black girl
And then it changes to like she's a teenage girl
And like this paedophile like captures her
And takes her away
And a lot of Todd Salon stuff
Is always about rape and paedophilia
And you know
Racism and now it didn't do well
So he then went
went back to the well and did happiness too.
Yeah.
Which is life during wartime.
Yes.
Which I haven't seen because I'm normally like this, but this is one case from like,
I loved happiness so much.
I don't really want to see.
Happiness is by far his best film.
Yeah.
And like, it's just, it's insane to watch that.
And then to even go to Life After War Time is a good example because it's just,
it's the same characters, but all new actors.
Yeah.
So it's Karen Hines playing.
the Dylan Baker role.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
That's very different, isn't it?
And it's like he's just gotten out of prison.
And, yeah, to be honest, it's so badly done that it's actually very, it was quite boring
and tedious to get through.
And I can't even think of, I think there's a bit in life during wartime where a character
from Welcome to the Doll House, so like the kid who played the brother, he shows up
in that and they're at like some backyard barbecue.
And his whole storyline is like, yeah, everybody accused me of being a paedophile, but I'm not.
So, okay, right.
Now, Dark Horse, that's the next one he did.
Have you seen there?
Yeah, that was actually okay.
It's like, Selma Blair plays like this, like, depressed.
Just like, yeah, she's almost catatonic in her depression.
She just, like, goes through life, completely detached and alienated.
and then the
so she strikes up
a kind of relationship
with this like fat
obnoxious man child
who's like really obsessed with
like a little toy action
figures of like superheroes
and stuff and he like he works
for his dad's company but he's really
bad at
he's just like useless
or whatever he's very selfish
and I think
he ends up getting a disease and
dying or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now, that one I remember, like,
I remember that one actually coming out.
Yes. I didn't watch it. Remember, like, people
saying, like, actually wasn't, like, shit?
It wasn't terrible. Definitely,
a lot better than
palindromes or life after wartime.
And finally, I'm making you work hard here,
but finally, the last one, okay, is
Weiner Dog. Yes. Which I'd never seen, but wasn't it
like, that was an Amazon movie? I think he
got money off Amazon to do that.
Well, you know, that actually has a bit of a cast
in it, so there's, like, Kieran Culkin and Danny
DeVito and stuff so it's like it's a series of vignettes and like there's this wiener dog that like gets
passed around from different owners to owners because some owners die or some get arrested so you're
just like that's the you know framing device or the narrative thing and uh you follow like i think
danny de veto is suicidal he like tries to shoot up a place or something again i think i kind of watched
all of these are on the same time.
Yeah. And it's not like you're so vastly
different, I imagine. Yes.
You're like, which one of the pitiful in it? Yeah, exactly.
They really all overlap and blur.
Yeah. And it's like, when you go back to like happiness,
obviously the subject matter is so like grotesque.
But the performances are so fucking good.
Like Philip Seymour Hoffman is hilarious.
Yeah.
And tragic in equal measure.
So there's stuff that you can go back to.
I would not be in a hurry to watch any of these films ever again.
I remember of being actively like
This is shit
I don't like this
I'm wasting my time watching it
I was angry at myself
And Todd Salon's
Well thankfully if you might say now
It looks like there's not be any more Todd
Because he's been trying to get films funded
I read an interview with Elizabeth Olson
Oh yeah
So there's a film that
She has been trying to make with him now
It's about I think a guy
You like bangs his own mother or something like that
So of course mainstream appeal
but like they've been trying to make this for like a decade
and at one stage I had like
everyone has been attached to at some stage
from like Fast Bender to Killian Murphy to like you know
fucking Gosling like all apparently it's a good script
because all these people keep trying to fund it okay
and Elizabeth Olson is like she is trying her best
she's out there being like would someone please
I'm talking to all the millionaires
she's fucking like Wanda Vision
is that her? Yeah yeah yeah yeah exactly
you think she would be able to even no she's like even
I'm trying to use all my mariner
Carvel connections. Nobody wants to fund this
because they're like, we're just
kind of burning money. I had to
convince Mark Ruffalo that Todd
Salons is anti-fraking
and he's actually very surprisingly
in favor of it. But I just seen, so I saw
like Michael Mann can't get the money for
heat too. Really?
Yeah, so I think back in the day there's all these
old directors that people are like,
ah, give him a bit of fucking money. Yeah.
We'll make it back in the long run with DVD sales
or whatever like that, yeah. But now, so like
it's really
movies just are not making money
anymore so they can't make he too at the moment
and Scorsese had to cancel
like he's been trying to make
like a Sinatra movie couldn't get the funding for it
yeah so Scorsese's
next film is going to be based on some
novel called home
this is what he's saying now okay
just in a gaffe no it actually is
the whole thing is it's all set
it's a drama set in one house
okay and that's it
over multi-generations
not even that
Isn't that what that last Semeckis film was?
Yeah, no, it's not like that.
It's more kind of like,
what's named that Warren Beatty movie
with all the flies at the end?
Not Locusts.
Days of Heaven, is it?
I forget what it's called now.
But anyway, so it's not like that.
It's basically it's about like a family
come to a house,
there's another family there,
and there's a connection
with a dark secret.
It's like a small kind of kitchen sink
and a dark family drama.
I'm interested in like Scorsese do something like that.
Yeah.
That isn't like, you know, a big epic
Yeah, with montages or anything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I think that's because it's more kind of budgetary than he else.
He's like, I can't make my big film now.
I mean, if Scorsese can't get funding, you know, you know it's pretty bad.
Yeah, yeah.
It is pretty dire out there.
But the thing is Todd Salons, like his films are so small in scope.
Yeah, the small in scope.
But I think it's just so like, well, no, actually.
Because I was saying, like, they're so weird.
they wouldn't have mainstream appeal
but with the internet and all that
like there's a lot of weird
people out there
you know
paedophilia is pretty popular
you think like
you think like
you'd be able to get it made
but yeah
yeah
it's a shame all these
kind of artists now
like all those kind of weird
like the next Todd Shalon
okay that's
he will just end up doing
like
one division season three
or whatever like
yeah
or yeah
he won't do anything
kind of cool or weird
anymore
we're losing it
I mean I guess
you could go back
to theater
you know
make theatre.
I don't want to go to
theatre.
I mean,
nobody does.
But if you want to
talk, if you want
to enjoy paedophilia,
you either go to the theatre
or you go to the playground
and put in the legwork,
huh?
All right, we're at like 47 minutes there.
Really?
Yeah, we're flying by, yeah.
I don't really have much else to say.
I'm looking at my notes here.
Yeah.
I'm kind of taking easy this week.
Asher, that's every week,
isn't it, if you honest.
Well, it's McCabe and Mr. Miller.
on the Patreon
or whatever episode we did
Was that Patreon
or is this Patreon?
I don't know anymore
I'll be honest
Yeah
I've actually uploaded
all four for a month
on Patreon
Oh have you?
Yeah
Okay
Look it's almost
the end of the month
anyway
Who care
Yeah
Yeah
People want to hear
The fucking
The industry talk
All right
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
You're voting
Tomorrow then are you
I will you
Yeah
For my boy
For your boy
Simon Harris
Yeah
Probably will get back in
Oh yeah
No
So there was, they were all talking on the papers there, the Simon Bump.
Oh, yeah?
Simon's so popular right now, we might actually get more votes than there's actually people in Ireland.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
But now they're saying that, because I know the way that woman treated him, that awful, awful woman who's trying to stand up for disabled people.
Yeah.
Now they're saying it's like a Simon Slump.
Oh.
It's gone from Bump to Slump.
That's politics for you right there, yeah.
It was making me laugh there.
Again, talking with Celtic Ligers.
Garrett from Celtic Ligers saying that he did like,
he went to some like talk, I think in London.
Right.
It's like a motivational talk.
And the woman was like, oh, where are you guys all from?
And he said, oh, you're from Ireland.
Oh, my husband's very worried by Sinn Féin.
He's very, very worried that Sinn Féin would take over.
So he saw in the papers that Sinn Féin are going up in the votes.
Yeah.
And he was despondent.
So he spent hours wandering around the orchards.
just in a daze because of Sinn Féin.
Sorry, love, aren't you a motivational speaker?
How about you cheer him up?
Or if you can't cheer him up with your mouth,
cheer him up with your mouth.
You know what I mean?
Put that mouth to work, love, one way or the other,
either in the air or on the cock.
How about that?
No, I will not leave.
Get your hats off me at once.
I feel motivated.
I feel motivated to hit you with a brick.
How about that?
I don't think
they'll allow
I think if Sinn Féin took over
we'd have
it went up like
Nicaragua I think
where the Americans
just take over
like it's too dangerous
you know
that's what happened
the last time
and then they just did
like a coalition
government with the Greens
so they'll probably
just do something like that
I think yeah
like
they'll never let
Sinn Fain be in
no no no no
not what's say
they've all seen
at Disney Plus show
now people have realized
the IRA are bad
I think it's funny
all these Americans
on like Reddit
I see are like
I just
going about the troubles there last week.
Yeah. And let me tell you, I don't like it.
I suppose the troubles are kind of having a moment because this new show is out.
Dairy Girls was very big.
Yeah. Neacap are huge.
You know, everyone's kind of focused on Northern Ireland, you know?
Yeah.
And they're letting this out kind of slip a bit.
Yeah, yeah. And that's how the, you know, the bureaucrats and the cronies come in and take
over.
I was going to make some very interesting points about the election, but I've forgotten.
Well, I'll stop talking.
while you think.
We got another 10 minutes.
So we'll just take some time
to relax and not talk.
No, I can't think of anything now.
Well, the thing is,
none of them running enough people
to form, like, a government by themselves.
So it has to be a coalition.
Okay, yeah.
So it's funny, I did read the Farmer's Journal this week.
Good.
And that is pure Fina Gale.
Really?
Yeah, it's all about how great Simon Harris is.
Well, I don't think that rings true.
I think that's propaganda.
No, no, no, no.
Formaganda.
No, no, no.
It's actually, it was so crazy.
So they had, like, a thing, a couple of pages about Simon Harris, all right?
Yeah.
And I thought it was a statement from Simon Harris, but it was actually just like a, it was like,
Simon Harris, line, line, line, line, line, line, line.
And then at the very end, like, he said.
Ah.
Yeah, yeah.
And then, like, it's just an interview.
But I've never seen an interview where it's like to let someone talk for so long,
like multiple paragraphs.
Yeah.
Before, like, asking next question.
I don't know.
I don't think farmers are having a very good time right now, are they?
What?
I don't think anyone is, but...
No, no, no, no. It's like, you know, when people talk about, like,
with Joe Biden, they're like, the economy's great.
It's just people don't understand that.
Right, okay. People are just too stupid to understand that, yeah, yeah.
You know how they, like, they can't afford food, and they're stupid,
so they think that's because the economy's bad.
See, the economy...
It's just because they make bad decisions.
The economy's really good, and people aren't addicted to the fentanyl,
but people are too stupid to realize that.
I say, right.
Well, that's, you know, that's me told then.
Did someone come in?
I don't know.
This is your house, pal.
What time is it?
We're getting robbed.
What time is that?
I can't turn my phone over.
Yeah.
It's 5.30.
Would they be back already?
No.
Nah.
I might just heard noises.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, look, I was going to say something else now.
You were going to say a lot.
Yeah.
You said very little.
But I tell you,
James, talk about movies again.
Talk about Whiner dog.
Weiner dog.
Yeah.
Well, it's depressing
his films really do
decline, but
what other film?
I watched that
She Said movie,
the Harvey Weinstein film.
There's always she said.
You're always talking about that.
Yeah, it's great.
Talk about the Florida Project instead.
Oh, okay.
That's something we can all love.
Did you like it?
I did.
Do you like the kids in it?
Yeah.
Not to sound weird or anything,
but do you like those kids?
Very good performance from the main
girl.
It's sad.
She didn't do anything.
afterwards.
Yeah, although I do remember feeling quite uncomfortable watching it.
Why?
Because there are multiple scenes of her in a bath.
Why is she always in the bath?
And why is Sean Baker always filming this girl in a bath?
I like them unclean.
But yeah, so it's set like in a shitty motel next to the, like, fucking Orlando Disneyland.
and Willem Defoe was fantastic in it.
He improvised a lot, apparently.
Really? Yeah, yeah.
The scene, to be honest, I don't know why,
but you know the scene where the old weird Pino
comes over to the kids?
I couldn't stop but thinking about you the whole time.
It was like, it looked like I was looking into a mirror
into the future, you know?
But yeah, he's just like, he was like, he was bald,
like almost like he had alopecia.
Yeah.
And you know why I think I was thinking
to you? Because he really looked like
was Jim Norton. He looked like
Jim Norton. I'll like this.
Hang on. I see Jim Norton.
I don't know. But you're
the Irish Jim Norton. I've always said it.
Yes, yes, yeah. But yeah.
So basically, he's Jim
Norton, but if he was like an old age
pensioner, and he's wearing these
like jean shorts,
but the waistband is very high.
And the polo shirt is tucked
for the uncle Phil.
Hey there, kids, are you having fun?
And Willem DeFoe is like, what are you doing here?
Oh, I just want a soda.
So, oh, well, I'll take it.
He follows him all the way to the soda machine.
He stands with them.
He's like, well, aren't you going to drink your soda?
Oh, yeah, sure.
But old Willem DeFoe, he didn't fall for it.
And then he knocks the soda out of his hands.
Like, get out of here.
I can't remember the film, too.
I don't actually don't remember that guy too much.
It's very funny.
what's the general plot
sorry so she they're like poor
and the kids kind of like fuck around a lot
and then like she becomes a prostitute
yes of course because of Sean Baker
so yeah so it follows
like the daughter
and mother now the mother is a very
like she's just like covered in tattoos
she has no job
she's like on welfare
smoking weed the whole time
and eventually she can't afford
to live in that like fucking
motel
it's just like a shitty motel
where just like a lot of like
impoverished broken people
or living there and their
kids are just like running around
in this really depressing
world but they're having the time of their life
because they're just you know
eating McDonald's and like
running through the park and you know
having friendly old men coming up
and talking to them. It's sweet isn't it?
Yeah yeah
but then eventually the
mother starts hoaring herself out
and like bringing
like guys to the hotel room
and banging them
and then eventually
child protective services
get called
why
some some stuff shirts
some fucking small prints
yeah yeah
some finagale
loving types
yeah it's like
I think it's actually
horrible now
you know
you have sex for buddy
in the bedroom
where your child sleeps
but yeah
again
Sean Baker
this is the
Florida Project
Tangerine
Tangerine
Red Rocket
It's always about
Sex work
and like
You know
Port Stars or hookers
Or drug addicts
Yeah
But you know
He was a drug addict
himself
Was he?
Yeah
I know nothing about
him at all
I think he was a heroin
addict for a few years
Jesus
It's funny heroin
Like it's not really
That big a deal
Is it?
A few people
Like
Oh man
You should get in
Now that you're
Unemployed
What else are you going to do?
It's the next stop
Yeah
Heroin and
you know start putting that mouth
to work.
I'll get heroin and weed mixed up
up. I'll do a little heroin
and it'll make Harold and Kumar funnier.
As if that were
possible, Brian.
Yeah, but no, Florida
Project was very good. She said
was not good, I'll have to say. Not
a good film at all. Of course. You were
really angry about it, aren't you?
No.
I realize it, Brian, don't put words in my mouth.
The whole thing
is like, oh, we've got this story.
There are multiple scenes
that are meant to be really dramatic
where people are just gathered around
a computer screen, reading
words being written and being
like, oh my God. Wasn't it like
Woody Allen's son actually like
got the whole story? Ronan Farrow
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wasn't it Ronan Farrow
actually did all the, there wasn't the demand
all the real work? Well, yes, but these, you know
how these dames are, they were
on their period or having, you know,
postpartum depression?
No, I haven't seen it, but it reminded me of the
film The Post. Yes.
where like it's very strange
that they pick like the Washington Post
and it's like all about them like
doing the story about Vietnam you know
and like how brave
this the female publisher
was yes but like other
newspapers also published
it and it's kind of like it's not really that big
a deal at all yeah
so the thing is it's about these two female
journalists
who work at the New York Times
and yeah so they go around
interviewing like victims and stuff
and yeah, it's a lot of just
So, what happened?
Well, he raped me.
Oh, that's bad, isn't it?
You don't like that?
And, yeah, no, I didn't like it.
The New York Times also, like, fake load of rape stories
about, like, about, like,
was it October 7th?
Oh, really?
I think they did, yeah, I think they had all these stories about, like,
Hamas were raping.
Yeah, but then they're like, do you have any proof for that?
And they're like, the fact that you ask for proof is, like.
Is anti-Semitic?
Well, not even that.
It's just anti-women or something.
Oh, okay.
I need to double-check that now,
but I think the New York Times
aren't exactly whiter than white.
No, yeah, no.
Well, I don't think any major publication is, you know.
Yeah, I just remember when it just became very apparent,
like, especially during, like, the Israel-Gaza stuff.
Yeah.
They were publishing a lot of just basically, like, IDF propaganda.
Yes.
Which, by the way, we didn't even mention it,
Biden solved the whole thing.
Did it?
Yeah, Biden fixed it.
What are you?
He got a peace deal.
How so?
They're not.
fighting anymore. I don't know. Yeah, Biden, you were
talking, you'd call him old and saying like
he was a goober, yeah. And look
at you now, egg on your face. Because it's
all grand. Is it? Yeah.
It's totally fine over there. Israel are like,
well, you know what? We went a bit mad.
Yeah. Yeah.
We got the, we went
the schmeckis in the head
there. Or whatever they
say. So now
it's all fine. It's all, all
the buildings are all built back up.
Yeah, yeah. All the children aren't
dead. They've come back to life, thanks
to Biden. Yeah.
And no more
paragliders in that part of
the world.
But wait, sorry, just to get back to this.
So what do they actually do?
What do they do? They interviewed the other women.
So they interview the women and they get together
the story. But then they also
hear that Ronan Farrow,
he just came out with the whole thing.
And so it's the exact same as the post then.
Mid-filmed or like, oh, some other guy just released it.
why do we follow that guy then
that's the interesting stuff
to be honest they don't even
like they have nothing to do
with Ron and Fowler like
oh some guy did something
well that doesn't affect us
it's like kind of does
but all right
the fact that like now maybe it's just
others have better PR
but like when you mentioned me too
to me and like who broke it
the name I can pull out of the air
is Ronan Farrell
now obviously it helps the whole
Farrow thing and all that year
and the Woody Allen thing yeah
but I couldn't name you
Could you name the women now?
Mone, God, and whining, Gie back.
I just don't know the women's name.
So maybe that's good to put their stories out, you know?
I know the actresses.
Do you?
It's Carrie Mulligan and Zoe Kazan, who are both very good.
Yeah.
But, like, the characters...
Isn't Kazan a Nepo Baby?
I'm sure, probably.
Yeah.
But anyway...
I can't watch a film when Nepo Baby...
Yeah, because Ronan Farrow, he really got where he is.
Just, you know, just hard work and gumption, right, Brian?
Yeah.
Come on, defend yourself.
Don't hurt me.
But yeah, so there's so much of like, they're on the phone,
and then they're, you know, they're writing this story.
Oh, I have to stop writing the story because I'm on the phone again.
And there's just, it's all in offices and, you know,
they try their best to make it.
a worthwhile film
but it's really...
It's hard.
Yeah.
It's like when they made that movie
won the movies
about the Prince Andrew interview.
Yes.
And they have to have all this stuff
about the lead up to it and that.
It's like...
It's just like tense music
while a printer
a print site pages.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Oh, no.
Oh, it's out of toner.
Oh, no.
Like, it's just, it's just,
you've picked a subject.
It's like, you've fucking handcuffed.
yourself in a way. You pick the subject that's very hard.
Or it's not like, that's why I really
love Spotlight. You watch Spotlight. It's great.
Yeah, Spotlight do a very good job
of it's about interviewing
people and slowly
compelling, compiling a story.
Yeah. And then
checking your sources, but they actually make it
very, very good and very interesting.
Well, they just, they try their
best here. And look, there are a few
moments that are kind of, you know, there's good
acting, good performances.
We never get to see Harvey
Weinstein, you see the back of his head
and you hear his voice on speaker
phone, but that's it.
But interestingly, it starts, the movie
starts in Ireland. It starts
in Ireland, 1992.
Now, I don't know what film it is,
but the girl, she is in Ireland,
walking along a beach, a film's being made,
she gets a job as a runner.
Turns out that girl, that's Laura Madden
from Monaghan.
She's from County Monaghan, so
yeah, I almost felt like I've been
raped by Harvey White Street. I believe that
was that far and away?
Possibly, yeah, possibly.
Well, we can't finish until I find
out. Okay.
But yeah, overall,
it was a real, and it came out,
it was very unsuccessful,
both critically and commercially.
Like,
it was a huge bomb. Yeah.
People didn't really want to watch it. People said it was kind of like
sad. Well, another thing
is, it came out 2021, so
everyone's kind of like, I'm stuck at home,
COVID is ruining
the planet. I don't want to
watch a film about Harvey Weinstein
because they just came out of the
Me Too movement. All they fucking heard
for years was about the Weinstein
thing. So it was just
kind of like people were burnt out with the
subject matter and then also
the way it was conveyed and handled
it was a little bit kind of tedious
and... Oh, it was the Damo
and Iver movie.
Well, luck, love.
You just had to take one for the team there.
you know uh i couldn't find the film that's all right
