Starting point is 00:00:00 Senna. Pals. We're watching. Now you see me. I almost want to say, Now You See Me, Now You Don't. That's not what it's called. It is just called Now You See Me. On the count of three, open your eyes and tell me what you see.
Starting point is 00:00:16 One, two. I see the end of a movie. See, now you see me too. Didn't I say something about Harry Potter earlier? You did. Wow! Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! That was so much fun! I want more.
Starting point is 00:00:36 I crave it, I breathe it, I live it. This may, like, if this doesn't make you want to go into magic or kiss a magician, I've done that. I'm going to excuse myself. No. Spill the secrets. No, no, we're not going there. No, oh my goodness. This is so much freaking fun.
Starting point is 00:01:01 I wish I was a part of a film this badass. You know how much fun they had making this? Not only that, the cleverness, the amount of work and time that went into making this film to make it so brilliant is outstanding. And it's like, and the effects were so good. They went hand in hand. They did actual slate of hand, and then they hit us with that movie magic, too. Yeah. It was like, I did not mind once.
Starting point is 00:01:39 It was all done so well. It was all every, I love every, yes. Right? I felt like they brought the magic and the hope and like, you know, I believed. Yeah. Not only that, every single character in this was absolutely on point, perfectly casted, like, oh my dear Lord,
Starting point is 00:02:01 Jesus, like, they provided, like, fire on fire and explosions of, like, greatness, like, pah! My brain, I cannot take it. I was super excited about this film, and I know we just watched it, but I'm beyond psyched on it.
Starting point is 00:02:17 I loved ice movies, like, on every level, because the ensemble is always so much fun together, right? You can tell that they worked super well, together on and off screen and then I love being like a feeling like you're stupid kind of but like being like oh no that was a good one you got me there like I like how you said I like how they make you feel stupid but you're like ah when you're this intelligent all the time you know what it's like right
Starting point is 00:02:47 like you get bored so it's nice to be wowed every now and then you know you gotta hand it to I just, wow. Why they always got to put Jesse Eisenberg with, like, a redhead, though? Because redheads are hot, okay? Always him. But you know why? But here's the thing. Here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Here's the thing. When you have a character as quirky as him, you got to have a firecracker. You know, and they say redheads are, you know, freaky. And why wouldn't you want that? Like, he deserves to have a freak. She can illusionize me all day. Oh, she, I think she is just stunning. Every time I love her, personally, I do.
Starting point is 00:03:29 But I really, really liked her in this. Woody. Oh, my. So good. He's always good in it. I hand it to him. He is both intimidating, endearing. They both were in zombie land, were they?
Starting point is 00:03:41 Yeah. Yep. That's right. He was the bad. He's always kind of, you know what? They have amazing, beautiful chemistry together. I love that they brought Michael in. I love it, but he's one of my favorites, him.
Starting point is 00:03:52 and Mr. Freeman Like Michael Cain, hello Yeah, they had like a lot of Even though Katrina didn't say a word She was beautiful I love how you're like Have my children

Starting point is 00:04:15 I thought she was just like I can be She is absolutely sunny My favorite scene I think was When Jack Wilder a.k.a. Dave Franco. His whole action sequence. Yeah. I feel like that was the meat action of the movie.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Like that was done. It was choreographed so well. And it was so smart physically. So that was a nice, like, that was a nice balance between all the, like, mental stuff that was going on. His scenes were super good in that last part. Yeah. I liked that a lot. I love all about it. I think it's interesting how his brother, because I'm acquainted with the, them. And I think it's funny how when he speaks, I could see parts of his older brother, Tom Franco,
Starting point is 00:04:59 in the way his movements are, you know, like all three brothers. I think Tom Franco and James Franco almost look identical. Yeah. And then Dave Frank. They did. And then Dave Franco is very different because the other two are a lot taller, you know. But he also has like a different, a different look to him. He's like street. But like pretty. yes but there's something about their mouths that I'm like I was like oh I see your brother all right I see both your brothers and you the jeans yeah they're right well done well done David David well done well done I don't even know what else I could say to other than wow wow wow wow wow wow wow I wish I was in a film like this someday one day

Starting point is 00:06:04 And it was so fun. Active. It was dramatic. There was definitely suspense in there. A lot, but it was like romance. It was all done in the right manner. Every shape of form. There's not one bad, like one thing in here. I did not
