Starting point is 00:00:00 Sometimes they tie up the dick. You ever see that in Pornhub? No. What, they tie up the dick? Yeah, yeah. Like, strap it to a chair and what, they play, Steelers' wheels stuck in the middle with you. Well, I don't know why. That's how, like, rabbis perform the brace, you know, like, through a circumcision.
Starting point is 00:00:17 I don't know why I came in a night. Your dick's just screaming. No, I've never seen that. That'd be fun. If you were, like, if you were going to circumcise your kid, might not have a bit of fun with it. Why not? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:29 Any movie fans in the synagogue? Well, I just the rabbi's like, you know, I'm a bit of a ped-de-f, I mean, cinephile. You know a load of rabbi's got like, got STDs from like, oh no, sorry, they were giving babies STDs. How? Because the other way, is it a moyle? A moyle. Yeah, that's the person who performs the brisk. And some of them, well, all the time, and some of them still do it in, like, some of the more orthodox, extreme parts of New York and stuff like,
Starting point is 00:00:59 that is they'll bite off the foreskin with their teeth. What? Yeah. Jesus Christ. Do you don't know this? No, I did not. Loser. Yeah, they do with the old tradition like.
Starting point is 00:01:09 Because back in the day, like if you're on the run from Nazis, whatever, or Romans. You don't have time to... Yeah, yeah. Jews have been on the run for a long time. So they don't have time for scalples like that. It's like, we got all circumcised as kid. You know, improvise, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:21 Take a bite out of crime. Yeah, well, we're... Anyway, this is the podcast. Yes. That's a good little opening. I like that. So we're going to talk about another oppressed group
Starting point is 00:01:31 in this episode. My family. We've handled Jews. Yeah. That's sorted. Okay. We brought that up. Now, it's on to black people.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Okay. So... They're oppressed, you say. Well, I mean, I'm not sure of it. You could change my mind. Because I've been listening to a little guy because an academic called Anthony Coomia.
Starting point is 00:01:54 And he disagrees. Okay. Well, the reason that we're going to be talking about oppressed black people. people is because you just watch 12 years of the slave. I watch 12 years of slave I want to talk about because I think it's a very important movie and I think
Starting point is 00:02:05 every year it becomes a little bit more important to show people these kind of films I feel like to show what we did wrong and how we can get it right the next time right no I feel like because I guarantee it the major political change this country next 10 years
Starting point is 00:02:23 we're going to see like pure alt-right hate groups are going to spread up in the stage because of this podcast. No, no, we might influence it slightly. We might tip at the balance slightly.
Starting point is 00:02:38 But it's not like you're going to walk around with like pictures of us. No, I imagine. Yeah, yeah. No, but like more hate groups will rise in this country and we're going to see like racial violence,
Starting point is 00:02:51 terrorism. Okay. A lot of burning buildings. Apocalyptics. style scenarios primary schools would just get eviscerated
Starting point is 00:03:02 in the upcoming race war casualties baby yeah yeah and and fair play to him yeah yeah no so like I thought it's important to talk
Starting point is 00:03:13 about 12 years slave it's directed by Steve McQueen oh yes not evil Knievel but I keep getting confused with Steve wait
Starting point is 00:03:21 Evil Knievel's real name was Steve McQueen no Steve McQueen was an actor oh yeah from the like 70s I assume I always associate him
Starting point is 00:03:28 with evil evil of some reason, I think, because they're both like guys in the past, like, tough guys in the 70s. That is a very weird comparison. Well, that's why I just, I just think they're all... Well, I guess I tell you, I'll give you this. Steve McQueen and the Great Escape, he's zipping around on a motorbike. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:41 Look, Ineval motorbike. There you go. I haven't finished Great Escape. Have you? No. Well, I should watch that, finish it and talk about it on the podcast. Yeah, maybe. Then we can talk about another oppressed group.
Starting point is 00:03:53 The poor old Nazis. See, people kept escaping from their prisons. Oh, wow. we did it again. Well, the true victim, see ya. Yeah, so it's directed by Steve McQueen. Have you watched much of Steve McQueen's films? He did hunger about
Starting point is 00:04:08 Bobby Sands. Hunger's great. I want to watch that again. I might watch that for the podcast as well. That'd be a laugh a minute. Yeah, it'd be me describing hunger like they have a 20 minute monologue. Yeah. Another monologue. And then he's hungry and he's even more hungry.
Starting point is 00:04:24 He needs a sandwich. Yeah, but oh man, it gets so grim and he starts getting like kind of like lesions on his back and stuff it's very hard to watch did it go into like him I forget now I'm watching it how do they show him like proper you know like Christian Bail in the machinist
Starting point is 00:04:40 like yeah he is very skinny and gaunt in it yeah I don't think he's as bad as Christian Bail and machinist but he's pretty bad Christian Bail should have said he was doing that for Northern Ireland Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha there's a United Ireland I would have a sandwich yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:04:59 I'm surprised hunger like every Irish person should watch that yeah yeah and then be up a tan so he did
Starting point is 00:05:10 hunger he did what else he do shame shame I love shame shit it's but sex addiction yeah I love shame there's a bit in shame where like he's so
Starting point is 00:05:18 gone with a sex addiction he's getting sucked off by like two guys and he looks sad I've been there honey we got letter Wednesday It is funny
Starting point is 00:05:31 It's a film about sex addiction It's like His sex addiction gets so bad That in the final few scenes He's sex with a guy It's unimaginable horror As if like that The producer just takes
Starting point is 00:05:47 Steve we've got some notes here Now it seems that Yeah What's your problem? I'm black yeah in his Stephen Queen's mind it's like
Starting point is 00:05:59 the whole audience start crying when he walks in that gay club the people are like no we can never let this happen again and he did a film
Starting point is 00:06:10 called widows yeah I've seen widows widows is great widows is really good you all about widows I love about widows I loved when that girl's mother
Starting point is 00:06:18 is like there's a website you can meet cool gentlemen they'll pay you for you know spending time with them yeah yeah what do have to
Starting point is 00:06:25 Zuma, just, you know, spend time with them and you know, don't, you know, show them a good time. Show them a good time. Be affable. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why don't you try sucking them off for money? I don't want to work. I'm your mother. Yeah, it's her mother that makes her do it. Yeah, that's every mother's dream, I think, is that. I want to pip out their daughter.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Yeah, is that their mother starts sucking off. It's like, you know what? It's kind of like, it's like the way, no way my dad's a farmer. Yeah. And he wants me to be a farmer. Yeah, yeah. That's what it's like for women. all mothers are whores yeah yeah yeah and they want their daughters to be whores also
Starting point is 00:07:02 oh I pass it on yeah yeah well can anybody prove otherwise I don't think so the mother is watching her daughter like suck off some Japanese businessman she's like
Starting point is 00:07:11 there's my little girl look at her go the cats in the cradle and the sail of a spoon little boy blue and the man on the moon yeah little girl blue
Starting point is 00:07:23 little girl blue then she's Japanese guy will be together then Okay, all right So let's just jump in 12 years of sleep No, I've never actually seen it Okay Well, it makes to be automatically racist I think
Starting point is 00:07:37 I forgot one best picture I did it, yeah, yeah What is that 2012, 13? 13, okay Unlucky Oh, yeah Lucky for everyone this film is like that Especially poor old Solomon Solomon's named the main character, okay?
Starting point is 00:07:51 Okay, who plays Solomon? Who plays Solomon? Oh, okay, I just wanted to hear you pronounce his name. I think, Edge of the Fort is right. I might not have got the first name correct. No. He's an English actor. Apparently, like, he went to, like, English acting school,
Starting point is 00:08:06 and, like, two weeks later, Spielberg saw him and something's, like, leave this fucking school. You're coming with me. Really? Yeah, yeah. It's almost like he bought him. That's what he did to the little girl in Poultergeist. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:17 He just saw in a restaurant. It's like, you're coming with me, sweetie. Anybody who, any history buffs out there will know that it didn't end well for that girl. She got raped so hard Her anus fell out Yeah, pretty much and died Yeah On the set of Jeopardy
Starting point is 00:08:31 I believe That's why Alex Trebek got cancer Karma baby Yeah But like I think that's It's funny That little girl She got raped to death
Starting point is 00:08:44 And like she's the lucky one I said Drew Barrymore Had to go And be in fucking Charlie's Angel Full throttle So who's the real victim here? The ghost that little girl was like,
Starting point is 00:08:57 whew! I dodged the bullet there. Okay, so let's just jump in this film. Let's stop being silly and unwalk. Okay. Yeah, this is the film that's going to bring it all back. Yeah. You know, like, it's time.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Tell you the reason why I picked this film is because I was watching a review of it online. There's a guy who like, he does film reviews, and he was reviewing this. And in the comments, it was insane. It was all like, oh, I'm sick of fucking these films making white people look bad. What about all the films that Why don't make a film that's not about slavery? Does one of those even exist?
Starting point is 00:09:31 Thanks a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was like, it's like, oh, I'm sick. I'm sick of watching a film about slavery where to make the white people look bad. Every time I turn on Cornetian Street, it's just about slavery, we get it already. It's like, I've talked to people who are legit,
Starting point is 00:09:47 like, you know, it's impossible to see a white person in Dublin now. Well, I did say, that but you know i was uh i was drunk under the influence at the time i was drunk in a britain's first meeting the irish section of b in the irish chapter yeah very low attendance numbers i'm not going to lie just you just me just you and a union jack no the union jack dress that jerry hallowell wore in the spice girls just yelling that picture of lennie henry It's just a still picture like, look, he's looking at me. He's always following everywhere I go.
Starting point is 00:10:29 You broke Dawn's heart. Oh, Jesus. Right, let's go. Okay, so Solomon is... Now, I don't understand the history this. So he's a free man. Okay. He's black. But he's in New York, which is a liberal side of America.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Right, right. Don't ask me when this take place. It's pre-Lincoln messing shit up. Yeah, yeah. It's back when slavery, apparently like slavery was around, but some black people were free and some weren't what determined that was it I think it's like maybe
Starting point is 00:10:58 if someone bought you of slavery than your kids weren't slaves either oh okay right and in New York it was way more common just have black people that you know in the past had been bought by nice white people who released them
Starting point is 00:11:12 or like maybe if they worked on a plantation for many years or maybe they just escape from plantation to south and they moved to New York right there's many different ways okay but it's funny because salt not funny like ha ha because Solomon's a free slave and he'd be walking around the shops and stuff
Starting point is 00:11:28 in New York and like every now and again like you see a black man going around and he's like yes master and he's still a slave for a white guy like he's carrying the white guy he's like you know groceries groceries and like gold in burning cross
Starting point is 00:11:43 a burning crossman of gold you know like that so he's he's doing great in America in New York he's a fiddle player or violin one of those gay instruments both day instruments yeah yeah oh I play an instrument oh shut up
Starting point is 00:12:00 Lincoln was wrong no no I'm joking so yeah he's a musician he's got a lovely wife he's got two kids lives in a nice little house in New York so he's got a maid yeah he literally walks around the park
Starting point is 00:12:16 and you know white guys were like ah Solomon top of the morning to you sir he's like uh top the morning to you whitey. So he's loving it. And then these two white guys show up. And they're like, ah, Mr.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Solomon, a lovely day indeed. We hear you play the violin quite marvellously. Do you mind coming to dinner with us? We'd like to hire you to go on tour with us. And Solomon's like, yeah. These white guys seem okay. And then the eyes like, danger, danger.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Like that, Solomon. Yeah, yeah. They don't care for the violin at all. Yeah. So these white guys bring him to dinner And they're like Yeah, you know, come with us on tour And he's like, oh, you know
Starting point is 00:12:57 Don't be away from the family too Yeah, on tour Like what do they do? I think they're Are they musicians as well? I think they're fancy actor people Like, yeah, right I think they like want to do a variety show kind of thing
Starting point is 00:13:06 Kind of like vaudeville Yeah, yeah, yeah And they can't afford the They're not Jewish though Okay Don't ever say that All right Show some fucking respect
Starting point is 00:13:16 Yeah, yeah A lot of minstrel shows in vaudeville Yeah They're trying to save a buck. It's like, we don't need to buy any, like, shoe polish. We'll bring old Solomon with us. He'll even bust attitude on the fiddle. It's a win-win.
Starting point is 00:13:30 It's funny if they went to Solomon, like, my God, your shoe-polished skills are so. It's so realistic. Yeah. So anyway, like, they're like, come out to dinner and, like, it's obviously because you know the way the film's going to go. You're like, this is a bad idea, Solomon. Stay away from those honkies, okay? Yeah, yeah, those crackers are up to know good.
Starting point is 00:13:50 So it becomes. like real get out situation where like they're like oh yeah have the have the dinner yes and drink this wine what don't we put something in it but don't drink this wine and there's just because there's mist coming
Starting point is 00:14:04 from the glass it's all fizzy it's white people drink this is wheatgrass yeah you've probably never seen it before but this is what it looks like don't worry so like he drinks and he gets dizzy and they're like ah our friends friends seem to have drank too much.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Come here, we'll bring you to your wink wink, wink, hotel room. So what happens is these two white guys, because they're a piece of shit, white fucking scum. Yeah, I was getting angry. Yeah, rightfully so. Yeah, I...
Starting point is 00:14:35 Sick of whiny always. They sell them. Okay. They sell them to black slave traders. It's like Pinocchio. Kind of, yeah, yeah. I've got no strings, I'll be up, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:14:46 But they're just chains. of strings into chains. What a dark version of Pinocchio where Pinocchio gets sold. But every time he lies, his dick gets bigger. No, anyway, go on. Wait, I'm just turn on the power real quick. Vam for a second.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Okay. Oh, you didn't turn on the power? Yeah. I was too excited about 12 years of slave. Oh, well, that's understandable. So, like, they sell them immediately to... So it's back then, like, you could literally sell a free man. They'd be like, okay, we're taking this out.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Yeah. And, like, obviously, the black... guy's like, I'm free and like, shut up. So there was no kind of way
Starting point is 00:15:24 to prove that he was free. Well, yeah, if you had your papers or a white guy could identify you.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Like a lost dog. Do you have photo ID or a white guy? We will accept both. But like they just throw the papers out there and
Starting point is 00:15:40 obviously like if you just fucking tie him up he's not going to find a white guy to identify him. Yeah. Yeah. So they immediately
Starting point is 00:15:46 like put him on a boat and they start shipped them off to the south. But it's a bad boat. It's not like a cruise ship or something like. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:54 You don't have Jimmy Buffett playing. It's not a party boat. It's not the impractical Joker's cruise. It's not like boat trip with Cuba Gooding Jr. Well, it kind of is.
Starting point is 00:16:03 No, yeah. That's the sequel. Yeah. They go back in time. Yeah. So this is interesting now. So they're on a boat and we immediately meet
Starting point is 00:16:15 Michael K. Williams. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. And I think this is intentional. I think Steve McQueen disintentional, okay, so we see, because he probably knows what we think when we see Michael K. Williams. Yeah. So you're thinking like, oh shit, Omar's gonna fuck shit up. Omar's gonna fuck up these white guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:34 You know what happens? Omar gets stabbed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Michael K. Williams gets stabbed and thrown off the boat immediately. Oh, wow. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, he, he tries to stand up. I think, I forget exactly, I think they're like trying to rape a black woman or something like that. Right. And Michael C. Williams is like, stop it, and then they just stab him and throw him off the boat. Yeah. That's one way to deal with your problems, you know, I guess.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Yeah. And it's so funny that he's fucking... I don't even know if they're autistic or just racist. They're like, these guys on YouTube, like, that's not logical because slaves be worth something, so they wouldn't have stabbed them and thrown them off the boat. Like, these people are like, actually, they wouldn't mistreat slaves
Starting point is 00:17:14 because it wouldn't be economically profitable. Yeah. The free market would have fixed them. So I think that was like an intentional thing by Steve McQueen You'd be like I'll give you a bit of false hope at the start Where you think oh this is going to be like Django and Chained wrong Okay yeah yeah This is not going to be a fun revenge flick
Starting point is 00:17:34 Yeah Where like Michael K. Williams gets two guns Start fucking a little twink You know No Okay So also it's kind of interesting is There's another slave on the boat
Starting point is 00:17:47 That's real like oh You know I can't whittle him these chains I'm gonna fuck I'm gonna fuck whitey up you know okay yeah we gotta rise up so then they get to the port and there's a big fat white guy going like excuse me where's my slave where's and the white the black guy who's all like I'm gonna fuck him up's like oh master oh you came and gives him a hug are you serious yeah yeah yeah basically like hums his leg he's like oh thank you master you save me and the fat guy I wish you gone into this more the fact guys were like oh don't worry and like it's like rubbing his head oh really oh don't worry I was
Starting point is 00:18:19 look after you my good little slave and then they go off we never see him again okay you think they were back in hope so okay and i wonder like was that a bit of comedy or was that like a comment by stephen queen of like some people like they talk to talk but but then when it comes down to it they actually yeah yeah some people actually kind of like it's way easier to submit yeah and just pretend to be like oh i love my master than actually like because in a system that's obviously like there's no way that guy's going to like rebel so so hard he end slavery
Starting point is 00:18:52 yeah yeah yeah there's no way he was gonna punch a white guy so hard to be like you know what we're changing a lot you've made us see
Starting point is 00:18:59 the error of our ways and this comes back over and over again the film it's like the system makes everyone bad okay okay
Starting point is 00:19:05 I'm not excusing white people want to say this but it's like there's a lot of people um in the film that like
Starting point is 00:19:12 they use that an excuse almost for the white guys are like oh yeah I'd love to set you free but oh this fucking uh
Starting point is 00:19:17 got bills to pay yeah oh this system where we're both victims here I tell you. Johnny Law on me back I'd love to let you go and have a laugh but I can't he do it pal I'm getting the fucking ants
Starting point is 00:19:29 oh boy it's no so let me just fill so the slave owner shows up he's like a seller he sells slave so he's buying his stock I got two two slaves a two slaves a back of three back of three
Starting point is 00:19:46 and sold so he's almost like a used car salesman. He gets the cheap slaves that they've... Oh, you'll get plenty of mileage out of her, buddy. She's seen me through some hard time. That's literally how to do it. You know who's the slave guy in this? Paul
Starting point is 00:20:01 Giamatti. Really? Yeah, because when you think a guy selling black people, you think Paul Giamatti. Tell you, a slave comes with a brand new air conditioning, yeah, it'll blow right in your face. No, he literally has the slave standing around naked, and he's like checking the tea and he's going like this 12 year old, he's like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:20:17 he'll grow up into a fine piece here. I'm selling, of the real deal hey I'm losing money on this yeah 50 bucks you're robin be blind yeah yeah yeah yeah you know what you get this yeah you get an old cripple one for free
Starting point is 00:20:30 how about that he can still pull a bit pick a bit of cotton you know you only missing one arm come on crazy eddies hey if you need a paperweight with a personality we got the old cripple over here
Starting point is 00:20:43 yeah it's actually like it's so interesting to watch how like they're so dehumanised that like they're just standing there almost like statues because probably these guys they know like they're probably gonna get hit
Starting point is 00:20:54 if they in any way put up like they just have yeah so just let this white guy open their mouths and like you know like check to slap their buttocks and like oh look at this fine buttocks here you know
Starting point is 00:21:04 oh okay yeah that's the sign of a good worker and look these broad shoulders yeah he could work that massive cut come on he's your bargain I'll throw the cock in for free
Starting point is 00:21:14 oh god Yeah, so let's see, they have the slaves stand nude for the auction And then Cumberbatch comes along Bendick Cumberbatch again, like if you want to cast someone who owns slaves Yeah, yeah That sounds like he owns slaves, you know I think his family did actually Really?
Starting point is 00:21:36 I think yeah, if you trace it back his family had some kind of slave connection Well, maybe if you trace it back they probably all did Yeah, yeah, yeah Fallon still is a few knocking around They're called they think roots are there of their own they think they're there voluntarily hell though
Starting point is 00:21:52 what's your name it's Questlove it's Questlove Yeah I actually Picture an idea of now You know the way Questlove has the big hair Love to leave him hiding a gun in it And then he just pulls out and shoots
Starting point is 00:22:08 Fucking foul in the head Falling would still laugh Yeah You put a bullet in my fat chest he's slapping the desk and dies So Cumberbatch buys him And brings him to his plantation The Cumberbatch plantation
Starting point is 00:22:22 And Cumberbatch is actually pretty nice Is he? Yeah, I mean like he still works him to the bone And doesn't give him freedom Yeah What's part from that But for a slave owner, he's pretty nice You know, he even gives Solomon a violin
Starting point is 00:22:33 Oh, okay Because Solomon's pretty like, you know Pretty good worker And like a few times like We're like Cumberbatch's like I want to do this And Solomon's kind of like You know if you did that
Starting point is 00:22:44 it would be easier and I would save you time and Cumberbatch is like jeez you're a mighty fine Negro I tell you that you know Oh okay Yeah yeah yeah You know I'm still gonna whip you But here's a violin
Starting point is 00:22:54 You know He's pretty nice to him you know Right okay And Cumberbatch is more kind of like You know I got these slaves But it's no reason why You have to be too mean to him I'll give him a nice little shed to live in
Starting point is 00:23:04 And you know Yeah you know They could have some water That I'm pissed in On Christmas But Paul Dano lives on the plantation as well, yeah, yeah. Now, I forget
Starting point is 00:23:15 Paul Dano, he's definitely in the family. I don't know if he's like a cousin of come back or a son. I forget exactly, but Paul Dano is a piece of shit in this. Really? Paul Dano sings what I suppose you could say is a song where it's literally just the N-word. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. To a tune. He put it to a tune and he just sings that
Starting point is 00:23:38 at the slaves. Right. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I'm not going to sing it. No? Yeah, yeah. It doesn't matter how catchy it is. You've got a beautiful voice, Brian. I really think you could make it work. It'd be funny if like Evichi before he died was like, I'm going to remix it.
Starting point is 00:23:55 I think this could cut like, you know, there's some parts of America especially would really like that song. True, yeah. A Trump rally. Yeah, yeah. But Cumberbatch, like, he's actually so nice. He actually gives them,
Starting point is 00:24:12 he lets them go to church stuff. Oh, yeah, like he, he tells them Bible stories and that. Right.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Yeah, yeah. That's so nice. Yeah. Even though he's, again, he's still owning them. He owns them
Starting point is 00:24:23 like their property and not humans. Yeah. But apart from that, pretty nice good. And if you don't work, he will just put you down like a dog.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Okay, of course. Well, come on. Look, he's a business man. Yeah. I'm starting to think, Brian, to be honest now,
Starting point is 00:24:36 you're like, haven't listened to this. I'm starting to really, like slavery sounds pretty bad. Yeah. We haven't even got to the bad stuff. turned around here bro I'm starting to notice a trend so far we're just on Cumberbatch and it's like yeah you know what like I was like it's a bit like when I worked in the
Starting point is 00:24:50 that resort in America you know you live on site you get whipped every once in a while they give you a violin yeah I was like I didn't get violin this is bullshit wish I was a slave I'm singing the song wish I was a slave okay there's one woman though she got separated from her kids when the boss. Oh, okay. So they were like, I'm not buying the kids as well.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Yeah, sure. It's a package deal. It's kind of like when you buy something it's like batteries, not included, you know? So, uh, I don't know. That's, yeah, I kind of didn't even know how to react to that. I was like, yeah, anyway, um, let's keep,
Starting point is 00:25:31 stick to the script, James. Let's do it. This is, this is all written. It's no improv. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Uh, so she keeps crying. She's missing her kids.
Starting point is 00:25:40 It's real heartbreak. She's a very good actress. She keeps missing her kids. She's crying. She gets to this. stage where even the fucking slaves are like, you know, we get it. You know? Yeah, give it over.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Yeah, yeah. We all got problems. So, she gets taken away. Okay. And then Liam Neeson comes to save her. No, no, Liam Neeson wouldn't save her. Are you the one? She was my friend, you bitch. Yeah. So she gets taken
Starting point is 00:26:07 away and I think Solomon at the stage is like, oh shit. Like, this is not just the thing of like, I think Solomon still kind of like look I'll work here but I'm going to get out with this like you know I'm not it's not supposed to be here
Starting point is 00:26:19 I wasn't even supposed to be here today oh it's like clerks yeah yeah it's exactly like clerks yeah yeah yeah I imagine the Kevin Smith's version of 12 years later just Jason Mews so yeah but then when she gets killed
Starting point is 00:26:34 she gets taken away in shock because she's crying oh yeah yeah he's like fuck wait who shot her took her away I think Dano oh okay yeah
Starting point is 00:26:42 so I I think that's when he's like, this is like the final nail I'm not getting out here. Right. This is going to be my life now. So he, okay.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Yeah, and he kind of like gives up hope a little bit. Oh, really? Yeah, so he's just like, this is, this is my rotten life.
Starting point is 00:26:53 So Paul Donald keeps fucking with him. Just constantly fucking. Like, he's like, uh, like putting up, uh, timber and Paul Down was like,
Starting point is 00:27:01 that's not straight enough. Okay. And he's like, okay. And so he puts up again and he's like, it's not straight enough. And the Solomon's trying to keep it together. He's like,
Starting point is 00:27:10 because he can't talk back. yeah to the master like sir i'm trying my best maybe it appears not straight to you from your angle but from my angle i believe and he's like you're talking back to you boy you sassin me boy yeah yeah yeah so eventually um solomon losing it's like
Starting point is 00:27:27 sir i think you're incorrect I'm just god yeah yeah yeah that's uh those are fighting words so paul down will lose it then tries to whip him and Solomon is like I can't handle this So he, you know what he does, grabs the whip, whips Paul Dano. Paul down, like little bitches like, ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo. It hurts, please.
Starting point is 00:27:49 He's a bit like Dudley-Durzley. You go from Harry Potter? Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like, ooh, it's not fair. Yeah, yeah. So, obviously, this is like a death sentence. If a slave whips the master, like.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Yeah, I mean, you don't get away with that. Yeah, yeah. so like Paul Down was like finally now I have an excuse to lynch you okay like that so he puts him and a few of his guys put a rope around his neck and kind of pull him up
Starting point is 00:28:21 and he's off the ground but then one the other guys is like wait wait wait wait we got to check with the mask we got to check with Cumberbatch first yeah we can't this is like this is property okay it's funny like even the good guy he's like he's not like this is a human life he's like way this is like
Starting point is 00:28:37 breaking someone with lawn more yeah because then we're all out of pocket if he comes off yeah yeah yeah so what they do is and this is like such a
Starting point is 00:28:48 they draw it out for so long it's so uncomfortable to watch they leave him there where he's got like one foot on the ground oh so he's just barely yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:28:57 so he's like he's like with his toes tippy toes yeah he's okay he's okay for being strangled yeah yeah but just yeah so
Starting point is 00:29:04 and he's still kind of swaying and they I'm not exaggerating, it's like four minutes of that because they slowly walk to the house to check with Cumberbatch and what's so powerful is so he's there on his tippy toes
Starting point is 00:29:18 other slaves still working they don't yeah what are they going to do like a lot of them are older like they've been there longer they're probably used to this and they're probably used to just keep your head down if you try and do anything
Starting point is 00:29:29 you're going to get a whipping as well one girl slave is like and she's taking a big risk there to give them a little bit of water Yeah, she runs over Gets him with the water and runs away again
Starting point is 00:29:40 in case anyone catches her Yeah, yeah So then they finally Cut him down And Cumberbatch is like Look You know, I'm a good guy
Starting point is 00:29:50 You know I'm your buddy I'm actually one the best white guys around You know But I can't I can't have you here Have you seen Patrick Melrose Very good
Starting point is 00:29:59 Very good You'd like it I think Um You're Sherlock Well I can deduce You're about to get lynched elementary my dear Watson he's fucked
Starting point is 00:30:10 yeah but he's basically like look I like you but you know I can't even protect you here like Paul Dano yeah like I can say don't do it they're going to do it and if they don't do it straight out you're going to have an accident they're going to accidentally you know fired or gun into your face
Starting point is 00:30:25 nine times with reloading you know like that or you're going to drown the river or something like that you're not safe here so I'm going to sell you to Michael Fastbender Yeah, yeah Okay And he even says like
Starting point is 00:30:38 By the way Michael Fastbender He ain't nice Yeah Okay So let me just Check where I am now So Paul Dano
Starting point is 00:30:50 So I imagine Paul Dano's pretty upset Yeah Paul Dano's like jumping in the air Going Rootin, toin Ah Oh I want to get my hands on him And we never see him again
Starting point is 00:31:01 Which is a shame The way this is set up Like it's like him going different plantations so like you don't never go back to Cumberbatch and that which is like I know it's more historically accurate but you would love to see like a sequel where like you know Solomon meets a cool guy called Django and you know they go for a little uh little bit of revenge you know okay I get you yeah but sadly not that doesn't happen yeah so it's more historically accurate but it's not satisfying to watch but that is well depends on your worldview I suppose
Starting point is 00:31:31 I suppose if you have a maga hat on and an air horn like, yeah, do, do, do, do. That's fun for the whole family. Look at that boy. Yeah, you want with your little son. They're like, yeah. Someday, you know.
Starting point is 00:31:47 You'll be Paul Daniel. Yeah, yeah. Someday. Remember the song? I taught you the song. Sing it. Okay. Now, Fastbender is not a good slave owner.
Starting point is 00:31:59 He's a real jerk. Yeah. he he not only doesn't make them work hard he also makes them dance oh yeah so during the day he'll make him pick cotton
Starting point is 00:32:09 and at the end of the day he'll do like uh break dance competition no no he'll do a count of the cotton okay and whoever picked so if you're under a certain number you have sleep outside and if you're over a certain number
Starting point is 00:32:21 like you can sleep inside you know and if you're under certain number it's like what's wrong with you today or if you're even lower than yes it's almost like working in the office uh no it's not but it's kind of like you know you're you had these numbers yesterday
Starting point is 00:32:33 and you're down yeah what's wrong with you okay even if it's a very high number if it's less than yesterday it's like yeah you're sleeping aside oh okay so you always every day it has to be better yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:32:44 it's kind of like capitalism away it's like it's like it can't sustain like you just get bigger and bigger like it's gonna collapse like yeah so and that's during the day and at night he's like yeah bring him to the house and make him dance while just drink
Starting point is 00:32:56 fucking I don't know what to be drinking back down like moonshine or something She was drinking moonshine and watching Like, hey, look at them dance Yeah, I'm having a great time Yeah I got a big dick and a load of moonshine And I make my slaves dance
Starting point is 00:33:10 Because I'm deep down, I'm sad Yeah, I've seen that exact Tinder profile His wife is Sarah Paulson in this And Sarah Paulson is the typical white woman Oh yeah, basic white bitch Yeah, yeah She is actually worse than him in it She's like a lady Macbeth
Starting point is 00:33:28 where she's like, you're going to let your slaves talk like to you? Oh, yeah. There's a few times in it where like, let's say one of the slaves is like, I don't want to dance.
Starting point is 00:33:35 I'm real tired. Sarah Paulson's like, you're going to let him not down? That's disrespect. Are you even a man? Yeah. That's what she said. Dicks tiny, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:33:43 She literally says stuff like that to him. Like, yeah, yeah. That's what we've been doing, Brian. All of them. They're all the same. There's actually, does, one, the girls in this,
Starting point is 00:33:54 she's played by Lepita Nyongo. She's, she's, writing this yeah yeah yeah she I said it right yeah god I feel great
Starting point is 00:34:05 yeah I can walk around Africa now saying that the entire continent like just bragging like
Starting point is 00:34:11 and you want to hear me say names to which the edge of the edge of the floor yeah and they're like what what are you saying I'm just like
Starting point is 00:34:22 I just walk into like I'm in Africa and I walk into like some store and they're like can I help you and like to which
Starting point is 00:34:27 to which the edge of Lepita Niongo Isle 3 There's one girl in She's a slave Patsy I think her name is Yeah Patsy, okay And Fastbender's a bit of a thing for her
Starting point is 00:34:41 Okay, right, right, right He's like, geez, Patsy, my best slave Oh, she picks the most con She was a girl and she outpicks all the men Oh, my Patsy And he's saying this he's like rubbing her, you know, Face and stuff like that's like Like a bit of a George Washington vibe here, is it?
Starting point is 00:34:54 Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. Oh, yeah, exactly, yeah. all you're missing is the wig is the white wig like and then you know what's so no it's so fucked up like Sarah Paulson gets so jealous by the way he talks to Patsy there's literally a bit in it where like they're dancing and like Fastbender sitting down drinking moons trying have a great time yeah and Paulson loses shit gets up and smash the bottle on Patsy's head yeah and when um when fastburn fastburn's like hey what you doing like hey that's my favorite bottle yeah yeah he's like oh oh
Starting point is 00:35:28 women. I've got to clean that up now. Oh wait, no, I know. I've got slaves. There's actually the other bit in it where like Paulson is talking about her cooking and is serving like,
Starting point is 00:35:38 this is the food, even though the slaves made it and are serving it. But she's like, yeah, well, I'm technically I made it because I got the slave to do it. I set the menu. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:47 Paulson is such a fucking awful white woman in this film. Yeah. Oh, God. Hate that. And you know what? She'd be the type of woman as well, I guarantee you that like,
Starting point is 00:35:54 if this is modern day and slavery is still around, she'd be like, you know what? A woman should be a woman should be was to whip her sleeve just as much as a man you know I'm all about quality here
Starting point is 00:36:03 yeah posting a fucking gift from drag race it's slay yeah but literally I was about to say she loves Lizzo
Starting point is 00:36:10 like no she wouldn't love Lizzo she liked the music of Lizzo and she'd find to see a picture and go oh no she'd see a music video where's my bottle it's Patsy
Starting point is 00:36:22 okay yeah Patsy's revenge yeah so um yeah and then like we find out that he actually is he's having sex with yeah he's banging yeah yeah he's banging patty yeah and um uh patty at one stage literally asks solomon the killer oh really yeah because he's like i can't escape from this um i don't want to have his child uh please kill me and and you know solomon's like hey i kill you i get killed as well yeah yeah this system like we're both fucked
Starting point is 00:36:59 go kill yourself typical women always relying on men oh I should mention as well Solomon can I'm joking by the way just so everybody knows why are you winking
Starting point is 00:37:09 why are your fingers crossed holding up a sign saying not joking hashtag hate them all hashtag free Weinstein oh 23 years he'll be out in six the number 23 Jim Carrey
Starting point is 00:37:26 predicted the whole thing So I should mention as well Solomon can read and write Okay Which none the other slaves can But he's keeping that a secret Because that might help him escape Oh okay
Starting point is 00:37:39 Yeah So for instance like He like starts a blog or something Somebody will come and rescue it Like gossip girl Yeah So there's a bit in it Where like she gives him
Starting point is 00:37:51 He's been with for a while with Fastbinder and they trust him so much to send him the store to get groceries and he's like store this is my chance to escape so he gets to the list of groceries and he's like
Starting point is 00:38:05 just runs the other way and as he's running like he just sees a bunch of guys distance he slows down and literally some white guys like lynching a few black people yeah yeah and they're kind of like you go anywhere son he's like I'm going to the store
Starting point is 00:38:19 and they're like well good luck to you and then that scene kind of represents the fact that like Solomon's like I can't escape from here Like if that Where's he gonna go?
Starting point is 00:38:30 Yeah I'll get caught by someone I'm in the fucking south It's not like Oh the border's like Right there I can just jump over them okay It's like if I go
Starting point is 00:38:37 I left the plantation for two minutes I saw people getting lynched Yeah I'm not gonna go out of it Yeah Yeah The only didn't get lynched there is because he's holding the fucking
Starting point is 00:38:45 shopping list Like I'm just doing shopping for the up there For Mr. Fastbender He was in shame He played Magneto and X-Men first class and they're like he was a good
Starting point is 00:38:54 addition to the ex family free bride singer but he's not in jail I know he should be he's Thailand I believe oh of course yeah so anyway like it's not going well for Solomon
Starting point is 00:39:11 and that's an understatement so you there yeah but he's down in the dumps so guess what happens okay let's see what we're doing we're 40 minutes already all right wow yeah we're
Starting point is 00:39:22 We're, you know, we'll run through this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So guess what happens? They hire a white worker. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's some drunk alcoholic guy. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:32 And he's like, yeah, I'm such an alcoholic. I've ended up working with the slaves. Jesus. And they actually put him living with the slaves as well. Is he American? Yeah, he's American, like, yeah, but he's a real alky. Right. Yeah, he's like, yeah, just, I just, he's like a bum.
Starting point is 00:39:47 He just travels around and he works in, like, a different place for a while and then move on. Kind of like Charlie Chaplin, you know, the tramp. sort of walking around. Yeah, yeah, he fell over a suitcase and he did a lot of pratfalls. Who plays the drunk? Not somebody famous. It's someone, it might be Scootie McNara.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Oh, yeah, Scootie, yeah, Scootie is in the film. I think he's the white bum. Okay. He might be someone else. I could see that. Yeah, I think it is Scootie, but, you know, if I'm wrong, you know, don't. Yeah, that's the only thing in this episode, people get annoyed about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:22 That wasn't scurred McLeary at all, you idiot. I didn't mind when you sang the song. It's my ringtone now. So, yeah, so Solomon sees this as his chance. So he's like, the white guy, the white alcoholic. He's like, listen, I can actually write. And the white guy's like, what, blah, blah, what? You know?
Starting point is 00:40:42 And he's like, look, I've written a letter. I want you to send it. Okay. And the letter is kind of like, he sent it to New York going like, listen. Come get me. Yeah, because, yeah, yeah, save me. Save me. He's right until Lauren Michaels.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Yeah, please let me audition. Put me on SNL. Yeah. It's the only safe place in America. If Keenan could get work, surely I'll be fine. Oh, now people would get upset over that. I love Keenan's house. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:09 I'm a big fan of Keith. Come on now. Whip your ass. He would, he would, and he's hilarious, and he's great. He can do a sketch and, like, he'll have one lines. Like, you're way funnier than, like, everyone else. He literally, as soon as he's in a sketch, it's automatically better. He really carries that show
Starting point is 00:41:23 That's the failsafe For all the directors know Like if his sketch is dying Just cut to And in his ear They're like just make a face Like what? Yeah
Starting point is 00:41:31 You know like that But anyway Like enough keen Tom Just get back to slavery Yeah So he's like Not the first time you've said that Yeah
Starting point is 00:41:38 So he's like Solomon's like Listen White alcoholic guy Please send this letter Don't sign anyone Okay please Yeah
Starting point is 00:41:46 Okay And well the important thing is though He doesn't give him the letter straight away. He's like, I want you to send this letter. Because he's like testing the waters first. Right. Okay. And the Wicke is like, yeah, sure, I'll send a letter. Oh, wink, wink. You know like that. So the next day, Fastbender shows up. And he's like, so, uh, someone tells me you can read and write and send letters now. Is this true?
Starting point is 00:42:09 But Solomon thinks quick. He's like, what, you're going to believe that dumb, uh, drunk? Yeah, he's just making lies because he wants you to put him in charge of us. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and it's a real tense scene because you can tell Fasperner's like, who do I trust an alcoholic or a black man? It's Sophie's choice all over again. Who do I trust?
Starting point is 00:42:30 An alcoholic, white guy who's fucked up his entire life? Or an educated black man who can play the violin? Yeah. Oh, God, this is a noodle scratcher. So he actually, he goes for Solomon. He believes Solomon. Then the next scene, is Solomon burning the letter he wrote
Starting point is 00:42:50 Yeah and then again it's like Oh God Solomon can't Solomon can't catch a break Oh no oh you ve Okay Does he go up to the drunk Be like what the fuck man No they fire the drunk
Starting point is 00:43:04 Oh okay Yeah yeah You can fire a slave Well he's a white guy Oh okay I guess He wasn't like I think he was actually getting paid Oh alright He wasn't a slave
Starting point is 00:43:14 He was just like Work in there Yeah what probably happened He was like Not just stay here I'll work from my keep for a few days
Starting point is 00:43:22 and we're like yeah we'll fucking put you at somewhere but we're just gonna let you with sleep at the slaves like we'll throw you a few fucking coins
Starting point is 00:43:27 like because you know you're human unlike these non-humans I can play the violin with the reading and writing that makes me sick that's why I hate New York
Starting point is 00:43:39 so next scene more for mad TV myself next scene they hire another white guy but this is a more educated white guy they need
Starting point is 00:43:49 because they're building something and it's like an architect something like that like he's like helping out with the design
Starting point is 00:43:53 of the building can't Mosby from how I met your mother no it's actually Brad Pitt oh okay yeah
Starting point is 00:43:58 Brad Pitt is a real conundrum this film okay because you cannot I maybe it's because I knew he produced a film
Starting point is 00:44:06 his company made it yeah but it's so obvious like he shows up and immediately like you know I think slavery's bad and someday
Starting point is 00:44:13 they'll come a time where they'll make slavery illegal and maybe then they'll elect a black president and maybe then he'll serve two terms and he won't shut down Guantanamo Bay
Starting point is 00:44:23 and I'll marry Angelina Jolie and she'll be let's say difficult let's be diplomatic here she will not be fun to be around Witton near the end she'll make me star in a movie she directed and it'll get panned she'll make me adopt lots of kids
Starting point is 00:44:41 that are similar to the ones that you own but none of them can read or write So it's a real pain in the air. So basically, like, they hire Brad Pitt, and Brad Pitt is, like, you know, spouting all this nonsense. This absolute dribble, this nonsensical garbage. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:59 No, but he's very woke. In Fastbender's mind. Okay. And fast being like, what is up with you? And he's like, I'm Canadian. Oh. Which is even more question. At the start, you're kind of like,
Starting point is 00:45:09 Brad Pitt's not really doing a loop. They're all, like, doing southern accents. And Brad Pitt isn't. He's just Brad Pitt. Okay. And then they say he's Canadian. you're like, it's not doing a Canadian accent either, it's just Brad Pitt.
Starting point is 00:45:21 Yeah. So anyway, like Brad Pitt gets to be the hero to film. He's like, so what happens is Solomon hears him going all this fucking woke bullshit. Yeah, okay. And Solomon was like, oh, maybe I can trust this guy. What are you trying out for a tight five
Starting point is 00:45:37 in the car store? What's going on? UCB. So he's like to Brad Pick, you send the letter and Brad Pitt's like, of course I will, because I'm one of the good white guys. Okay. I'm Brad Pitt
Starting point is 00:45:49 God damn it and I'm a good white guy so then Brad Pitt sends a letter and I actually looked this up it turns out Brad Pitt was meant
Starting point is 00:45:58 to play the Fastbender role but he didn't want his kids to see him in a real bad role like that like a racist guy yeah
Starting point is 00:46:05 yeah which you know what would have been better I think if they cast Paul Dano in that role it would have made more sense of the young guy to be more liberal
Starting point is 00:46:14 yeah yeah and maybe like he's from New York and he's down he's a real successful architect from New York like to travel around America
Starting point is 00:46:22 and he's like he heard these fancy ideas but because it's Brad Pitt you're like I don't think like he's such a you know he's such a huge commodity
Starting point is 00:46:33 that like regardless of not wanting his children to see him as racist I imagine studio executives didn't want Brad Pitt to be like screaming the N words you know what I mean because he's like too much of a everybody loves them type
Starting point is 00:46:46 you know pretty boy handsome. Don't give me wrong, very talented actor like I like Brad Pitt, but he's too much it's kind of like casting Tom Hanks as like a racist, you know? Yeah, oh my God, if they'd cast Tom Hanks and a Paul Danna roll Oh my God
Starting point is 00:47:00 Oh, someone could do some funny redubs It's slavery! There's no crying and slavery Oh, someone could do some very funny edits with Toy Story 4 no i'm not saying i think uh actually i should also say as well that i want to go back to the same was talking about the way systems can corrupt everything yeah uh michael fastbner so vindictive he actually gets solomon to whip patsy oh yeah and that almost like a cooking situation that that he likes watching another slave
Starting point is 00:47:38 whip a slave like his woman yeah yeah yeah on the side yeah yeah yeah yeah Actually, and also I skipped this as well. Geez, I'm skipping a lot. He gets Patsy pregnant and she is a kid. Oh, right. And he actually likes the kid. Is that right? Yeah, he's all like, yeah, it's like, oh, look at my little kid.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Oh, yeah. Get back to work. Patsy, clean up this placenta. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The idea of like she's literally just giving birth. It's like, anyway, start dancing. Everybody dance. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:10 so Brad Pitt sends the letter to New York and then a man comes by from New York who he met earlier in the film just some random white guy white guy was like top of the morning to you Solomon yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and he's like
Starting point is 00:48:26 oh I do believe that's Solomon Solomon my dear boy I haven't seen you in 12 years now one thing I have to say is they don't really specify the time in this if you told me it was six years I believe you if you told me it was a year I believe you.
Starting point is 00:48:41 You never really get the sense of the passing of time in the film. Which, I know, maybe it would be a bit cheap, but maybe to show like a few Christmases, like a montage. Which is like a close-up of a calendar with the page is falling. When the days become, the weeks
Starting point is 00:48:56 become the... And didn't say the end word. Yeah, yeah. But like, when they say 12 years, like, oh yeah, 12 years to sleep. Yeah. God, I'm a fucking idiot. Oh, and I was silly Billy.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Anyway, back to slavery. So he's like, my word. And the sheriff is there as well. And he's like, are you sure this is a free man? He's like, yes, it is. My dear boy, it's Solomon. Oh, Solomon. Oh, what have they done to you?
Starting point is 00:49:25 Okay. And the sheriff's like, okay, because this white guy identify you, you're now human. That's how it works. Yeah, yeah. It's Hollywood, baby. And then Fastburn is like, it's my property get away. And the sheriff's like, sorry, but, you know.
Starting point is 00:49:40 look if it were up to me hey you know don't worry but this we got this guy over here this New York fucking liberal Jew over here oh this fucking
Starting point is 00:49:51 he's all they got shit kill us fire oh this piece of shit New York Jew over here to think they're better than us trying to take away our slaves so yeah so then
Starting point is 00:50:04 the New York guy they hop on a little I think it's a horse and car or something like that or yeah they hop in that and they go away and all the other slaves are like watching them and it's kind of like solomon's like well better you you know better me than you yeah it's like what am i supposed to do here yeah top break yeah i'm out i mean what what's solomon like and it's kind of like like what solomon's supposed to do here but also like you do feel
Starting point is 00:50:30 shit and solomon probably feels a bit shit as well it's like these people like he's become friends where he's known for like how many years like and patsy's there and like patsy's still trapped and there's nothing he can do yeah well well look Sunday you do you gotta just yeah gotta take his chance
Starting point is 00:50:44 to be free I mean he's put 12 years into it yeah yeah what's supposed to go to that New York guy
Starting point is 00:50:50 no I'm gonna stay here until I you know fight the power yeah I'm gonna try and run for president yeah
Starting point is 00:50:58 I'm not allowed buy fucking milk but I'm gonna try become president so Solomon goes back to New York and this is the heartbreaking thing
Starting point is 00:51:06 he goes to meet his family his family being informed he's coming back and he walks in and he's like oh I'm so sorry it's been so long and then like his wife is there and there's another guy

Starting point is 00:52:07 And my grandmother father now. And then it cuts the text and it says that Solomon later went to write a book about his adventures called 12 years of slave. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. And we still don't know how he died. Oh,
Starting point is 00:52:22 because the record's so poor back then. You don't know how he died? Yeah, the only records they have of them really are from that book and from like, you know, like, you know, maybe a little bit, maybe news article like from the south going like slave gets freed, nation angry. It's an outrage, says Mr. Fastbender. And then the quote from Cumberbatch
Starting point is 00:52:41 It's like, I gave him the violin, didn't like him And the quote from Dano was just The song again The quote from Dan was just An star sign Exclamation point Hashtaguer Yeah And that's the end of
Starting point is 00:52:58 12 years stay Yeah Not really a happy ending Not really a feel good film No definitely not Again depending on your worldview Depending on your political leanings For some people
Starting point is 00:53:09 They were like I loved it right until the last 10 minutes For some people It's like yeah That New York guy's a villain There's a guy I know His favorite film His American History X
Starting point is 00:53:20 But he definitely likes it For all the wrong reasons Oh I actually All the wrong reasons I know guys like that as well Yeah We're literally like At the point where Edward Norton
Starting point is 00:53:29 gets reformed They turn it off into school Yeah yeah It's the greatest movie ever Up until the last 20 minutes They're like what a pussy didn't stick to his ideals Yeah
Starting point is 00:53:38 What a quitter Do you know what stuff Films in black and white? Well the flashbacks are The good bits are Yeah Yeah yeah In colour
Starting point is 00:53:47 All the worst parts Are in colour Typical Yeah I actually do know guys like that as well We're like I watch and I get so pumped up You're like really Just when you see the brother
Starting point is 00:54:00 From my name is Earl Screaming the N word You know why I brought up I remember like saying like Go after Fight Club You know like you watch Fight Club and afterwards
Starting point is 00:54:07 you just want to get in a fight and they're like, yeah, I'm the same way after American history X, just want to fucking that's where my fucking... You just wait by the curve
Starting point is 00:54:16 hoping that opportunity will present itself. Yeah, yeah. You ever shoot in firemen? Who are you? Yeah, okay. Toil you're a slave. A very powerful...
Starting point is 00:54:30 You know what kind of reminded me of? Because the plot isn't really that important. Okay. Like I wouldn't like the guy who wrote is a guy called
Starting point is 00:54:38 John Ridley or Ripley and I wouldn't be like after like I want to see who else he wrote because that's not really the point of it it's just he just adapted a book like it's funny like he's actually working on a Tron TV show at the moment
Starting point is 00:54:51 was just as much racial social commentary yeah it would be funny he was like yeah I'm taking Tron to a whole new direction you know the way you put it on in the plot of Tron it's like a normal world
Starting point is 00:55:04 and then you put on you go into the video game and you can like ride like light cycles stuff like that in his verse like you put on you go into a video game
Starting point is 00:55:12 and you get like a this blue whip blue whip but you're whipping the same person you whip him to turn the pixels but yeah
Starting point is 00:55:24 it's kind of reminded me of if you go to like let's say a black history museum or something that and they have these
Starting point is 00:55:31 things that show you how bad racism is and they have to like sometimes really put in your face like in this film as well they show you the scars they really they really linger on the scars and like even that bit where he's being
Starting point is 00:55:44 like lynched and he's like they really make you uncomfortable by showing you the harsh realities of this and they're constantly showing shots of his back constantly and just how like it becomes like an Eli Roth film like it's just gruesome
Starting point is 00:55:58 yeah just gruesome but it's never like yeah it's fucking sick yeah it's like it's just like it's just there It's just It's just constantly there And it's like Awful
Starting point is 00:56:08 And I was picturing Like You have to make it like that For like the dumb fat kid The Magahat Like put down his game by And be like Oh
Starting point is 00:56:16 Oh it makes me tink Oh Maybe I've been wrong Yeah Yeah And then he's like No Haven't
Starting point is 00:56:24 No And he puts on a second Magah hat On top of his Maga hat I'm doubling down me That guy who saves him represents Hillary
Starting point is 00:56:34 Brad Pitt is Hillary I always do it Well yeah I would recommend the film I'm not surprised at one best picture It's a very powerful film I'm looking forward to Steve McQueen's Next Yeah his next thing is
Starting point is 00:56:49 It's a TV mini-series With I think John Baiega Oh yeah From Star Wars And it is It's interesting now It's about immigrant communities In Britain
Starting point is 00:57:00 I think it's like six episodes In each episode It's like a different decade Oh okay Yeah So like from them First coming Like first generation
Starting point is 00:57:08 Yeah Like maybe 50 60 Stuff like that Yeah And then Then Present day Yeah
Starting point is 00:57:13 Yeah And then how things change And probably like You know It probably make Tatcher Look like a bad person Oh Oh
Starting point is 00:57:19 You're fucking Propaganda Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah So that would be interesting To watch
Starting point is 00:57:26 I'm looking forward to I'm surprised Widows didn't really Do that well Widows Yeah It kind of Can't
Starting point is 00:57:30 And wanted Nobody really Talked It was very good No one Talked about I didn't get any kind of nomination or award. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:57:36 Maybe the academy or the industry just isn't ready for empowered women. Because it is a very, like, empowered women movie. But you know. It's not like, you know, shoving it down your soul. It's just like a really cool movie. Well, I saw the trailer and I was expecting it to be way more like, you know what? Bitch is doing it our way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:55 Can I like Hustlers? That movie Hustlers? I'm seeing Hustlers. I was thinking more like, like, um, like that Birds of Prey. Not even Birds of Prey, actually. like, I was expecting more of like a dumb kind of like Charlie's Angels Yeah, really dumb kind of ham-fisted over the top
Starting point is 00:58:12 Not very subtle But it's not like that at all, it's really good And Colin Farrell's great as well It's like, I'm realistic kind of guy who's like Yeah, look, I don't even want to be a mayor But fucking mayor, I suppose That scene actually where like he just comes from like Something, like some woman kind of
Starting point is 00:58:29 Like verbally assaulted him on camera then he gets in the car and drives the whole way and you just it's like a you don't actually cut to inside the car it's just exterior shots
Starting point is 00:58:39 the whole time that was great I really enjoyed it yeah that seems so good because he gets in the car on like the projects yeah and he drives to like
Starting point is 00:58:45 the nice part and the whole time he's ranting but the scene only takes like three minutes and they go from like the worst of the worst where people like
Starting point is 00:58:54 some people like dying on the streets to like really fancy gay community houses and stuff like that it's a real powerful thing Yeah, I was very surprised that he didn't get nominated.
Starting point is 00:59:03 It was great. What year did that come out? That's like 2018, isn't it? 2018. What won that year? Shape of water? Was it? Ugh.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Jesus. Well, the Academy or so I would talk. Imagine they're like, yeah, what's more relevant? You know? Women of colour or fish creatures. Yeah, yeah. Let's ponder this for a bit. Well, a movie about, not just about women of color.
Starting point is 00:59:28 It's about, you know, it's a female empowerment, but it's also about, like, inequality. It's about, up political systems it's like you know wealth disparity stuff like that
Starting point is 00:59:37 and they're like yeah this has nothing do America you know what it's like America these days a woman fucking a fish
Starting point is 00:59:42 yeah soul yeah yeah so that's just an hour there we go we hit an hour
Starting point is 00:59:50 12 years of slave and obviously anybody who is offended you are a right to be offended yeah well done yeah look we
Starting point is 00:59:57 you're a good person we use satire as a way to like process ideas ourselves. We had to process the idea in this still. Maybe slavery's bad. I had a whole, I had
Starting point is 01:00:07 a board set up. He's like a pro and conglades. Yeah, yeah. But you know what's so interesting? I've made this point before. I try to do it a bit but people don't really want to hear about slavery when they're having a few points in the inter. Again, depends where you're drinking. Yeah, yeah. Go on.
Starting point is 01:00:25 But like, if slavery was still around today, there would legitimately be a large percentage of people that would be like oh yeah yeah yeah yeah sure I'd love to make slavery wrong but you're living in cloud cuckoo land if you believe that we can just get rid of slavery oh you and your fancy ideas
Starting point is 01:00:45 but look if you got rid of slavery people lose jobs okay and it would really affect the economy so I care about the economy more than your wacky ideas about you know like people not being whipped to debt and you know maybe we shouldn't That's what happened in Flint, Michigan. They got rid of slavery and the economy just tanked overnight.
Starting point is 01:01:05 And you know what's even worse? It's like, did have people, prominent politicians going, like, there's no way we can get rid of slavery, and then they'd be on S&L. And they'd be like, yeah, I might not agree with your opinions, but I'm still going to do the neney with you on TikTok. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so slavery's wrong. Slavery is bad, guys. 12 years slave is a great film.
Starting point is 01:01:27 Tell your friend. We're not white supremacists We're actually the opposite We hate ourselves That's true That's the end of the podcast guys 12 years of slave I'd recommend it
Starting point is 01:01:36 You should all watch it Steve McQueen Big fans Love to have you on the show Yes Either Steve McQueen's Either the Steve McQueen's The dead one or the live one
