Cranking 88 minutes cause they cool as ice Cause they're bad, Jim Bonny looking kind tonight Calling June, getting literal, Jason is getting lame June is making sure all the monkey shots get contained They're just a bunch of movies while they're making the grade Here's a real question for you, how did this get made? Hello, people of Earth! And hello, people of Largo! We are live at Largo in Los Angeles

for one of the most important films we've ever done. The movie is Moonfall. The year it came out was 2022. And what can I tell you about this movie? Well, we all love a villain. And we all love the moon. What if... the moon was the villain? audience cheers Or was it?

That is the question. Is the moon a bad guy? Seriously, this moon sneaks up on people like Jason. Um, the plot holes are intense. I'll say that I think the acting is pretty solid. But, um, we're gonna get into all of it. But let's bring out my co-host. Please welcome Mr. Jason Manzoukas!

What's up, jerks? Fuck the moon! Fuck the moon! Fuck the moon! Fuck the moon! Fuck the moon! That's what I'm talking about, LA! Oh! Moonfall!

We got moonfalls! We got geo storms! Moonfall! We got moonfalls! We got geo storms! This is, I said backstage, this is the best Gerard Butler movie that's ever been released. How could you say no? Where are you, Jerry? Save us, Jerry!

Jerry must have said nah. He's kicking himself now. He's like, fuck the moon, the hell? And the only thing that could save us was dads in Lexuses? I think. Nothing stronger than the gravitational pull of the moon except for a dad in a Lexus. A movie that seems to be paid for partly by Lexus.

I mean, there's three quarters of the first act takes place in a Lexus dealership. They set up, I want to bring out our co-hosts, but they set up a character as being very, very wealthy. Money is no object. And then you see where he works, and he's just a car dealership owner. Not like the creator of Lexus,

not the president of Lexus, just owns a Lexus dealership outside of Seattle. A franchisee. Yeah, a franchisee. A franchisee. Someone who's capable of having a Lexus dealership. Who? Is like one of the richest.

She's got it. She's got it. Sorry. Here we go. Please welcome Jude Diane Rizzo. I couldn't wait. I had to get out here. I had to get out here.

Sorry, Jude. You did the right thing. I couldn't let another moment go by. I really couldn't because I need to talk about the Lexus dealership. I have some things to get off my mind. Cause I did, I was like, oh, okay. So there were, this movie, we're trying to move merch.

We're trying to move some cars. And that's fine. But like then I'm like, actually, I don't think And that's fine, but then, actually, I don't think that that's the point. I think this movie is trying to get us to become franchise owners. Ooh. Of dealerships.

So you think the movie has aspirationally cast Michael Pena to be like, this could be you. OK, so like F this could be you. Okay, so like Fletcher Jones Mercedes. Right. Like, if you own a Mercedes dealership, just because you're selling those cars, does it mean...

Wait a second, are we promoting Mercedes now? You just named a specific dealership. Is this...what is happening right now? Have you not seen Fletcher Jones? No. You don't know about Fletcher Jones? No, what is it? It's just, it's a Michael Pena.

It's like, it's a Fletcher Jones Mercedes. It's a Michael, okay, got it. Yeah, so it's a franchise owner, but that's pretty popular in LA. It's like a big LA, okay, got it, got it. Yes. Okay. So, but like Fletcher Jones himself doesn't. but that's pretty popular in LA. In your LA club. It's like a big LA. Okay, got it, got it. Okay. So, but like Fletcher Jones himself doesn't.

Money is no object to Fletcher Jones. I don't think that he is so confusing. Has access to like the. Like he doesn't own all those cars. Well, that was the thought that I had. It's not like, well, he's so rich, he owns 10,000 cars. No. Right, like Michael Pena's character as a franchise owner

has a house in Aspen, Colorado that's like a ski chalet that's in a gated village. He might be able to afford that. As a franchise owner? Well then maybe I do- Maybe he's got multiples. Maybe I do wanna be a franchise owner then. Maybe he's got multiples.

Like, Fletcher Jones? Well, by the way, when he was in Aspen. Oh, does Fletcher Jones have multiples? Fletcher Jones has multiples. Okay, so are you walking into a place in Aspen and it's like Hunter S. Thompson and Fletcher Jones are there, really getting into it, mixing it up?

All I'm saying is after, all I'm saying is after watching the movie, typing Fletcher Jones. Flare chewing, Flare chewing. Rewind, rewind. Will you go back to what you typed in? Will you go back one step? I was typing quickly. Oh, damn it. Oh, damn it. Because it was funny.

Oh, I'm sorry. Fletcher Jopness. Fletcher, Fletcher Jopness. That's the T-shirt. That's the T-shirt. Fletcher Jopness. Hi, how-shirt. Fletcher Jopness. Hi, how you doing? Fletcher Jopness.

How can I get you into Mercedes? I, Fletcher Jones motor cars, Mercedes Benz and pre-owned. Well, he's the number one dealer. Hold on a second. Whoa. 662 million in annual sales. That's okay. New, 9.5 million.

What's Fletcher Jones net worth? That's what I was gonna type. Type that, type that. What is, Siri, Siri, what is F's your Jones net worth? What is that Siri Siri what is Fletcher Jones net worth it says he is 575 million dollars Five hundred and seventy five well fuck what are we doing? Holy shit! 575. Well, fuck our premise. What the fuck are we doing? What?

We fought. We all blew it. We all blew it. First, we go off on locksmiths. Now we go off on auto dealers. This show is going down a rabbit hole or a moon hole. Guys, this movie was incredible. It really was.

And I, you know, when I, when I saw in the email that we were watching a movie called Moonfall. What did you think it was about? You know what? I thought it was like a fun indie. Like I thought it was. Oh, like a, like a silly kind of like- Yeah, with a name like that.

Like I thought for sure it was some sort of whimsical. Yeah. And when I realized, oh no, it is about the moon falling. Bam! From the director of a man who is known to basically destroy the world. Roland Emmerich only wants to destroy, only wants to show us the destruction of-

It's really sick. This city really, but also this world. Why does he hate us so much? It's so odd because honestly, they all begin to look alike. Well, that was gonna be my question because I feel like they're reusing, he loves specifically flooded cities.

Oh my God. Like it felt to me like this was the, because he also did the Jake Gyllenhaal. Yeah, he's done, he did the Day After Tomorrow, he did Independence Day, Independence Day 2, yes. He's done so many of them. The world is threatened on a macro level, and it is shown through the lens of a single family

on a micro level. Well, and it always seems like one member of that family is saving the world, and then the rest are being hunted by, you name it. In one movie, it was like Sabretooth Tigers came back, right? And this one, it's like a gang of a gang. I mean, but, but like, there is something really weird because the special effects in this looks so bad.

At one point, when the town was flooding, it looked like it was flooding Mr. Rogers' neighborhood or that, like, that little city that before the HBO movie started. Like, you're flying over that city. It's like, oh, HBO. No, it's like it just like, did he get just like access to that set? Well, it's so weird because I won't.

I'm just going to cut to the end of the movie real quick. But when things. Two hours and 10 minutes. When things return back to normal, when they, when our heroes come back from the moon and they land back on Earth. And there's a joke about the Chrysler building. There's some things that he's there in New York.

The building's actually in Colorado. Wait, oh really? Oh yeah. The top of the Chrysler building is in Colorado along with a bunch of boats. Oh, I thought that they were in... I thought they were in New York. Okay. But they... But what's so strange about that moment is a helicopter, like, fly, immediately tracks

them because they have a GPS device. But what we have seen is, like, the collapse of every piece of infrastructure. How many people died? But this civilization died. How many? Here's my... 98% of the world's population RIP. If we're cutting to the end, then here's my big, my statement. Why would you want the earth to be saved?

There's nothing left. There's nothing. I want to live in this hellscape where the head at the top of the Chrysler buildings in Chicago and most cities are full. No, seems way too hard. I would have rather just been bye. See you later. Whoa, really? You were going to southern in this? You're going to southern in this? No way.

Where am I going? What am I doing? There's nothing. I parts of roadways like are elevated above the other part. It's like, it doesn't make any sense. There's no way I could see any members of my family I don't know how that helicopter got around you are missing a grand opportunity to live a Water world existence soon after this like I want to see it's like the way that like the James Bond movies

It's like oh that you know that he's got the girl and they're going off on some adventures like that's not gonna end Well, they met in a weird precarious situation He's like, oh, I guess we didn't really even know each other adventures like that's not gonna end well. They met in a weird precarious situation. He's like oh I guess we didn't really even know each other we just were kind of running away from this guy with a scar on his face you know it's like and then they realize they have nothing in common like here. And they also lose nobody. The only person who dies is Michael Pena who's married to Patrick Wilson's ex-wife and is like this stepfather. So we lose. Well, and by the way, I do think that they, once Lexus got involved, um, once Lexus got involved, I have a feeling that they demanded that they have a Lexus rewrite and rewrote

Peña's death because he dies in such a heroic way as the owner of a Lexus would and the owner of a franchise wood. Take my $575 million and rebuild. By the way, what parent is teaching their child to walk by saying left, right, left, right? I think he's describing the signals in the car, the blinkers. By the way, by the way,

it wasn't supposed to be Peña, but due to a COVID-related illness, Stanley Tucci dropped out at the last second. The Tucci? It was supposed to be the Tucci. And by the way, the Tucci running Alexa's dealership, I kind of like, I mean, Michael Peña, I love him in everything.

I love Peña in this. If the Tucci had been loose in this movie, we would- But if you would have seen Stanley Tucci go, let's put this into warp speed and then turn the little automatic knob on the Lexus to sport engine. Like sport engine, I've done that.

You have a car that has multiple. I get sport, I don't know what the fuck happened. Nothing, seemingly nothing. It makes you able to outrun the lack of gravity. I mean, it like literally is as if it establishes its own gravitational pull to the earth. Yeah. I mean, it did make me think in that moment,

like what is sport mode? You know, I've never used my sport mode, so I don't know. And I don't know when to use it, to be quite honest. Well, I mean, maybe when you are racing down a highway, a piece of the highway is levitating off the ground because they are driving not off a cliff, but like the earth is separate. I mean, this is the other thing about this movie.

I have no idea where they're driving. They're all seem to be amazing drivers. Where's who going? With the family, the exchange student, which I guess we'll talk about at some point. So they're trying to go to the, yeah, they're trying to go to the army base that's underground where they're gonna launch the nukes from.

Okay, right. Because Halle Berry's ex-husband is there. He's one of the key guys and his son is with- And they just know how to get there. Well, no, his dad goes Berry's ex-husband is there. He's one of the key guys, and his son is with- And they just know how to get there. Well, no. His dad goes, her ex-husband goes, hey, just give me a call before you get here so I can deal with security. As if it's like a club.

Like, yeah, I'll just hit up the, I'll make sure the bouncer goes out and pulls you in. So she's supposed to take their son and meet him there, and instead she goes to space. She goes to space without telling him, hey, by the way, I'm not gonna show up with our son. I am instead going to space. But the craziest thing, and I'll never. That goodbye. That goodbye. And you know what?

I'll never judge another woman's parenting. Wait a minute. Not in my life, parenting. Wait a minute. Not in my life. But. Wait a minute. I'm like, why didn't she get him on one of those helicopters? Right? Like, they were, they left just, it seemed like minutes before.

But this is all, this is like, this is like the movie, the. I'm sorry, go ahead. I was going to say, this is Ed Burns style of not really worried about too much acting You know, it's like it's like at one point Look, this is the one I want to show like she delivers a line That is Halle Berry Halle Berry Halle Berry the one she delivers to her son who she is saying. Goodbye to she says I love you more than the stars in this sky and he says more than the Milky Way She goes way more I love you more than the stars in the sky." And he says, more than the Milky Way?

She goes, way more. Way more. That's the last word she probably says to her son. Way more. But this is a movie where literally asteroids are blowing up on Earth, and they're like, we need you to go to the moon, to the main astronaut. And he goes, I got a lot of stuff going on.

Yeah. Really? What do you got? You got to run some errands? This is- Got hit up target? This movie has the most gravity laden, pun intended, declarations to people who are like, so?

Whatever. This- Like non plus. Yeah. Listen to Halle Berry. This, you'll have a little intro line, but Halle Berry delivers the most devastating line here. So like, blase. Here we go.

It's some kind of self-aware, self-replicating singularity. Like a machine? Machines don't have intelligence. This does. It's everything we feared about AI. And I knew we were coming, so it was probably drawn out by the electronic signature of the capsule. Everything we thought we knew about the nature of the universe has just gone out the window. This guy's like, later!

Peace! This guy's like, beep, I'm outta here. She literally says everything we know about the universe is gone. She's like, wow, weird. I wrote down, this movie is maybe the most quotes I've ever written from the movie. You know what I mean?

My favorite was once it gets released and it's on the news, the newscaster says, civilization has already taken a serious nose dive. What? Civilization has already taken a serious nose dive. Why am I still broadcasting news and not home with my family? Let's walk it all the way back to 2011 when this movie starts. We have Patrick Wilson, Halle Berry, Up in Space.

This is my favorite thing. So my favorite trope in a space movie is when they're in space, because I feel like we always open on this, they're in space talking about anything but space. Right? And talking. Oh my God, talking so much.

So much over those radios. And I, as an audience member, I'm kind of like, a little more space talk would help. Like, let's focus. Little less talk altogether. Focus on what you're doing. Honestly, it's like when pilots, you know, pilots can't talk for the last two minutes

of every flight while they're landing. And when they're taking off. It's like me backing out of the driveway. I tell my kids, not now. Not now. Once we get out of the driveway, then we can talk. I'm not putting on a DVD. Yep, not putting on a DVD. I'm not doing shit until I get out of the driveway, then we can talk. I'm not putting on a DVD. Yep, not putting on a DVD. I'm not doing shit until I get out of the driveway.

Pokemon movie will wait. So I wish astronauts had a similar, you know, had similar guidelines. Like they're just they're honestly doing small talk and just chit chat, bullshit. And it's like, by the way, I thought you were going to say that they always are like checking each other out like through the window, like as if like they have a clear view, like hey, what's up? Like they're always like,

they're like with an eye line to each other. It would be so much technical jargon. What would be happening would just be like passionless jargon, just like this, boom, boom, copy that, copy that, over, over. No, they're like cable repairmen up there. And they're like talking about it like toto's Africa. Like what are the lyrics to Africa?

Patrick Wilson is popping and locking. How did you feel about breakdancing on a spacewalk? I enjoyed it. He's moonwalking on a moonfall episode. But he really he's just goofing off. And then his partner dies and that like sends him over the edge. But I do wanna just break it.

I wanna get to the partner dying. I just wanna talk about Toto, the song. Sure. So it's 2011 and they're talking about this Toto song, which is like an early, like it's a weird way to open a movie, right? To be like, oh. Well, you know that song was incredibly popular when this movie was shot

because Weezer had just done that cover of it, right? Oh, well, okay. Well, I feel like it was in pop culture again. Well, Jason, I wanted to actually, whatever I was looking at Nate Kiley's research. And what actually is interesting about this is that the co-writer of the movie is the nephew of Toto's David Page. Whoa! So he put in this knowing that he could ask his uncle

Smart. To get the music rights to the song. Because the uncle's gonna get paid. Yes. And then they were upset because they felt like Patrick Wilson was making fun of the song by not singing it on key. Oh my God.

That's incredible. I think that's kind of a hard song for Patrick Wilson to sing. Yeah. I also don't think like astronauts need to be, need to have perfect sing. Yeah. I also don't think like astronauts need to be, need to have perfect pitch. Yeah. I mean, maybe they do when it's astronaut day and-

They're talented. You know, astronaut day. Yeah, I thought he'd be fine. What are you guys doing for astronaut day this year? Oh my gosh, so much planning. We gotta start to honestly wrap our heads around astronaut day. We just, we were talking about a couple of things.

We got it, we have some things figured out, but yes. I'm going to go and get pastrami madness. Why is he wearing a fucking headset when they pull up to the window and he just talks to her? And he says, what can I get you? Hasn't that part already been done? No. He works.

I mean, is he a doctor? Is this guy a doctor? No, he admits. I mean is he a doctor is this guy a doctor? No, he admits that at the end and that's why Patrick Wilson calls him doctor. Well he introduces himself as a doctor. Oh all the time all the time, but he's not I love that guy I was gonna say this and I wrote this down not in a negative way. So don't take it that way I said he's the best parts of Simon Frost and The best parts of Nick Frost and Simon Pegg kind of crammed together.

He's like two for one deal, I feel like. He gives you a little bit of both. He was so, he is the heart of the movie. Yes. That was the reason I was so connected to that character. Also, because of COVID was gonna be Josh Gad, Josh Gad dropped, this guy jumped in. By the way, I love him.

This guy did a great job. thought this guy did a great job. I thought he did a great job. He's Samuel Tarley on Game of Thrones. Yeah. He's fantastic. He is truly the engine of the whole movie. He is the heart and soul of a movie about broken people. Right?

Yes, and he's, you know, I, because I got to be honest, I don't really know what was going on with the moon and the aliens and our ancestors. Well, here's the thing. I really don't. Did you know that it's a megastructure? I did. Listen, once we were in there and there were doors

automatically opening and closing inside the moon, I thought, well, this is a structure of some kind, for sure. It is a megastructure. It's pretty big. It's quite big. By the way, when they're driving in the megastructure, like, Patrick Wilson seems to be like, yeah, yeah,

I know, I got to go around. Like, he's not like, there's no reaction like, holy shit. What the fuck? None of them have that. And it's also like, nah, I'll find a place to park. And he's driving a shuttle, like, as easily as if it was Alexis. Which, you know, in sport mode.

He's driving a space shuttle that is, like, impaired. It is like, they've been through an asteroid field. It ripped off, like, one of the rudders or whatever on the space shuttle, and he's just like do-do-do-do-do, like flying it around like it's easy as anything. And you're right, nobody has the reaction of like, oh my god, there's walls inside the moon. Yeah. Like there's walls and flooring.

And writing. Writing. What is clearly writing and an ecosystem. There's fields. You know what it says, I was able to actually translate it. It actually says Fletcher Jones Toyota. That's interesting. It's a franchise.

Listen, I hate to say it on this podcast. We own seven of the mega structures in the solar system. But Alexis is just a fancy Toyota. How can I get you in? It is, well, it's Toyota's luxury line. How can I get you in? It is, well it's Toyota's luxury line. How can I get you in a megastructure? You're looking at a structure. A lot of megastructures aren't gonna make it.

This is gonna last. In a megastructure. Wait, can we just go, I also wrote this down. The movie is two hours and 10 minutes. Something also interesting about that is that there's two trials in the first 10 minutes. Two trials in the first 10 minutes. Two trials in the first 10 minutes. Both of which mean nothing for the story of the movie.

The first trial seems to be taking place in a conference room that is, like the two tables are so comically close to each other. It's like, oh, we didn't have enough room. We'd have a trial room. Can we just do it in here? Like they, why is he on trial and why is he becoming disgraced? I don't know. So I thought, because I actually went back

and I don't want to admit how many times I watched certain scenes to try to understand what the fuck was going on. I did it too. But I did return to a few scenes to see if I could garner anything more. And you know, I watched it again and knew less after it. So that was unfortunate.

But I did watch that trial scene two times. Is that right? So he was filing a wrongful termination suit against NASA. Why was he fired? He landed at his face shuttle without power. Well because- Saving the person. Wait. It's because when he lands in the disc,

he lands properly, but... Sure. ...he needs to engage the cover-up team so they use the neglect as an omen. Okay, this is great. This is so complicated, though. Like, yes, that's true. By the way, I want to just repeat it

because people may not hear it. Yeah. So, he wasn't playing along with the cover-up. Okay. And so what they did was they blamed him. Halle Berry turned on him because she's part of the system. And he's like, God damn it. I don't know if she really turned on him.

Well, she just, because she was unconscious, she couldn't confirm what he saw. Okay, got it. So, and they say to her, isn't it possible it was a solar flare? And she answered honestly. But even if it was a solar flare, how is he negligent? Wait, we just talked now? Well, the helmet cam...

The helmet cam, if you know, if you have movies like Contact, they can... Do they just talk now? Is that what the deal is? Are we just seating control? It's an open living room format show. No, he, so I just, again, we're having fun. We're listening to him singing with Toto. His friend is killed. Then we cut to a kid in a room, right?

Cause a kid in the room is watching. Yeah, his son. His son is watching a trial on YouTube, like a replay, like watching some classical musical fails. I know, which again, I never judge another woman's parenting, but it was kind of like, can you just turn that off maybe? You don't have to watch your dad's trial.

He's six. That's really young. That's how he got his British accent. Because he watched too much YouTube. He watched too much Peppa Pig. Because the kid is British, right? What? Isn't that kid British?

I can't confirm or deny that. I don't think so. I don't know. I'm telling you, the actor is. I'm telling you, he lost their British accent. Wait, wait, are you saying the actor is? I'll tell you who lost their British accent. That kid is not speaking in a- Once it faces mom at the end. She's American.

The audience is speaking back to us. She's American. I'm gonna be honest. I don't like it. I don't like that the audience feels empowered that way. She had a British accent when she was in her nursing home and then at the very last scene- Wait, no, oh, oh, oh, oh, I see. Sam Martharley's mother. Yes, I'm sorry. I see, I see. She had a British accent when she was in her nursing home and then at the very last scene.

Oh, I see, Sam Martharley's mother. Yes, I'm sorry. That mom at the very end when she's an angel? No, she's an operating system. She's a construct. She's the construct, yes, of the operating system. The way that Patrick Wilson was in, okay, so that's my... Well, when Patrick Wilson goes, you're not my son.

Yeah, no shit, you dumbass! Your son's older! He's not gonna have a six-year-old anymore. This is the line of the movie. We scanned your consciousness. You're part of the moon now. Fuck! I missed that!

Yes! I missed it. I want to hear that when I die. You're part of the moon now. I mean, that was it. Oh, fuck yeah. I mean, when he... Also, I couldn't believe that they didn't... that they didn't, like...

There he is. I mean, yeah, you did a good... I want to replay it. I... Well, I couldn't believe that they didn't do anything with women's menstrual cycles. I was like, oh, I'm sure something's going to happen. Women will have periods every five minutes now. Oh, yeah.

I'm surprised there wasn't a red tidal wave. I want honestly, I wanted to see it. I wanted something to happen to Halle Berry. I was like, let's go. Like, let's fucking go, ladies. I really wanted to see it. By the way, didn't it seem like from the minute? Why not?

Why not? Because they took time to investigate every other element, the tides, all of it. Yes, exactly. Yeah, I just wanted to see all the women go fucking crazy. I just wanted it so badly. By the way, that's how the Chrysler building got thrown into.

That's not right. We didn't see it. That's what we've seen. It wasn't a gravity wave. Gravity wave, we have time waves. We've been doing a lot of waves. Megastructuralist meetings with free bagels. Oh, my god.

Wait, I want to play the sun's line, because this sun is British, and they never explain him being British. Is he really? I mean, I thought so. Hold on. I mean, I feel like everyone in the movie was him being British. Is he really? I mean, I thought so, hold on. I mean, I feel like everyone in the movie was a little British, and some were full. All right, take a listen,

and we'll have the audience have been talking to us anyway. We'll see what they think, too. I don't want them to. You're gonna take a bomb into space. And why are you even here? You hate NASA. Just try to understand if there's even the smallest chance that this could work. What if it doesn't?

It has to. I want you to have a world you can grow up in where you could be a better man than me. Well, I guess, by the way, he's a pretty good man. I mean, he did save some people's lives, but I mean, do you, I want to, it has more of him, but You're like obsessed with him being British. Can I ask you a question? Does he sound British to you, audience? No.

No, okay. But are you saying... Are you saying the actor... You're a bunch of sheeple. Open your eyes. We're all British. We're all British. You're weirdly...

Since we did the episode, since we talked about the monarchy, you've weirdly become, like, very pro... Since Diana the musical. Really weird. You've become very pro-British, pro-monarchy. What is going on? Mm. Don't you worry about it.

This is wild. I thought this guy was great. I thought that actor was great. The British actor? Yeah. The way that, I do agree with that. I do think I meant that I said in the beginning. I think that like they're working their ass off.

I like Patrick Wilson a lot. I think he did a great job and there's like, there are moments where he's a little too relaxed, but I think that's the cool version. I think he was probably directed that way. I don't think that was his choice. I think he's either written or directed to be nonplot. There's literally, one of the other quotes that I read was,

then when you, and you said it, he's like, they're like, the moon is falling, moonfall. We have like three weeks until the earth is RIP. And he goes, I don't know, I got a lot of, I got a lot of my own problems going on yep got a lot of shit going on my son's in jail for running drugs and starting a high-speed police chase which is mom I mean talk about parenting what do you think about that parenting talk about it where the mom just simply calls up the dad and she's like, turn on TV.

Turn on TV. That's how you find out your son is in trouble. Not like, oh my God. Again, no one is too worried about much. She had to do what was right for her and find a man who knew how to open a franchise and take care of her and her children. And I tipped my hat.

But why, I guess my question is this, and very truthfully I want to know, why is Brian Harper, that's Patrick Wilson's character, why is he, like, alright, so he is disgraced because NASA makes him disgraced. But then he also takes on the persona of being disgraced. But he's not. Like that's like saying like- That's interesting about the movie. Like astronauts in general,

I think we hold in very high esteem. I know I do. I know I do. And so it's like, I actually- Like where does it rank locksmith and astronaut? I don't know of another, I mean, and correct me if I'm wrong, and I think they'll talk back.

I think they'll say something. If they feel like- Don't embolden them. But I don't know of another, I mean, and correct me if I'm wrong, and I think they'll talk back, I think they'll say something. Don't embolden them. But I don't know of, I actually don't know of a disgraced astronaut. Right. There's the woman who drove cross-country wearing diapers. The diaper. Okay. Wow.

All right, so. But you're right. We don't really know anybody in the sense of Patrick Wilson who's a drunk now. But I think what you're right about, Paul, is that I think in terms of public perception, to me, even if something happened up there and there was negligence, I'm sort of like, it's so fucking crazy to have the courage to go up to space that if you did something wrong in my book, I got a very long leash for you because that's still a heroic effort.

And I'm sorry that other astronaut died, but I don't necessarily blame Patrick. You can't blame it. But what I'm saying is they present this story, this narrative, like he has lost all the goodwill that he's got. And that he's the like black sheep of the astronaut community. But yet still speaking,

but still speaking to students in a classroom? During astronaut day only. Only during astronaut day. And I imagine there's only so many astronauts they can reach out to. You know, absolutely. I'll show up to Griffith Park. By the way, that CGI is the most aggressively bad.

Like, he gets, it looks like, like, you know, like sometimes when you see a sitcom set and they open up the door, and then there's like clearly like a screen, like, oh, it looks like trees and bushes out there. It's like, and you never go beyond the door. Like this movie open up the door and then there's like clearly like a screen like oh looks like trees and bushes out there it's like and you never go beyond the door like this movie shoots beyond the door it's like he is literally standing behind like a screen like when he gets off his motorcycle crazy it's like are you getting off in front of a giant slide of the Griffith

Park Observatory oh and then they build a version of it that's so tiny and then there's like a handful of kids in there with no teacher supervision at all. And Samwell Tarley is already there, and he's co-opted the kids, and he's telling... He's pumping them full of his conspiracy theories. Then he attacks Patrick Wilson, and Patrick Wilson, I will say, over and over again,

when faced with and given corroborating evidence that his story was true, he never is like, yes, I knew I was right. He never is like vindicated. He's never like, well, thank God, everybody's finally caught up to me, right? Well, even Halle Berry, she watched the fucking video camera footage.

Yeah. And then doesn't tell him for a long time. She's like, I did see fucking video camera footage. Yeah. And then doesn't tell him for a long time. She's like, I did see that video. What? That would have been the first thing I would have said. What footage? You know, that's the thing is. Listen, there's a lot going on.

You know what I want to talk about? Sure. I want to talk about the exchange student. Yes. It's time. It's just time. So when we first met her in the house that morning, I assumed she was Halle Berry's lover.

Wife. Me too. Because everybody did. I further, Yes. I further assumed because Halle Berry had mentioned it, that it was her wife. Because she mentioned,

she mentioned her wedding. Yeah. But her partner. Right. And I think she said her wedding. Yeah, her partner. Right. And I think she said partner. Yeah, she said partner. Yeah. So I was like, okay, that's her wife. Great. Got it. We're picking up the kid. She's picking up the son later on. And then it's not revealed until, I don't know, an hour later that that woman is an exchange student.

And so then so many questions. Who is like seeing her on her way. Like, hey, honey, here's your coffee. I'll take care of the kids. Don't worry about it. Because I'm also like, if you're hosting, now I was almost an exchange student. Where?

Are you going to speak to us as an exchange student? I wasn't an exchange student, but I almost was an exchange student, but I almost was an exchange student. And I know that's not as good, but it's not nothing. But a couple of things I learned from not doing it is you can't be put to work as an exchange student. And from what I was gathering from that relationship,

that exchange student was doing like a fair amount of domestic labor in the home. She was picking up the son. She was in charge of that child. Fully in charge. Yeah, oh yeah, when Halle Berry goes to space. And she's not in no pair. And maybe there were scenes that were cut, I don't know,

but it's one of the things about this movie. Oh, I think they used every frame. That's just so interesting. It's like no more information than that. This is an exchange student that's living there. We don't know a goddamn thing about her. Because in my mind, I was like, oh, Halle Berry is a single parent, pretty much.

I mean, there's a dad, but they're, I guess, co-parenting, but she's alone there with the child. And what the movie is not willing to let us see is a nanny or a housekeeper or domestic laborer as one of the stars of the movie and on this journey and becoming sort of a hero that we follow. So that's why we've made this person an exchange student. But maybe it was for different reasons.

But by the way, you could have made that person a nanny, but I think they wanted to have somebody very young. So then they have to be like, oh, we need to, if she's too young, will she read like a kid? I thought she was 35 years old. Really? I thought she was flirting with the son. I thought they were trying to say they had a pie. I think she was flirting with the son.

I thought they were trying to say they had a fight. I think we did see that later on, but when she first came down, I was like, oh, this is a cool lesbian marriage. Here's what I love about the movie. There was a moment that obviously Roland Emmerich made Independence Day. The classic moment in Independence Day is when Bill Pullman gets up and gives that speech. And today we celebrate our Independence Day. And then he writes in this movie,

the anti-version of that with Halle Berry. He's like, today we failed. Go home, run, get out of here. We didn't do it. It was, that was such a crazy moment that it was like a triumph and like, well, we tried. I heard on a microphone. She was like, it gets on the radio to everybody

and it's like, wah, wah, wah, wah. I wanna put those pictures. Go home and be with your families. We can't do this. And then she's like, JK, let's get in, let's do this. Like they joy ride a space shuttle the way that his son did that car in the first scene. How did they build the fucking launch pad?

Except for like 10 people who didn't leave. There were a number of workers still there. So who were those people? Well, they got on a helicopter and then the wave got them. The gravity wave was like, boom, see you later. I forgot they took it on a helicopter. When that wave is coming and the space shuttle is coming out, like, that was pretty, I mean, that was a pretty great shot, but it's going through a wave. It's like, it's surfing. It

was a space shuttle surfing through a wave. You would imagine that at one point the engine would go out. Like, I would imagine that what I know of water, water, well, not because of the wave. I think it was because of the wave. You think the wave short-circuited it? I think a flock of bees flew into it Sully style. Wait, there was one... I know we've talked about Sully's black box recording before, but I do encourage everybody, if you haven't heard it,

do yourself a favor tonight when you're going home and get on YouTube and listen to that recording. In this movie, when he's like, Oh, my dad went to space. Michael Pena is like, Oh, that's one way to get out of paying rent. And I'm like, Oh, this is really quippy. Everybody. Michael Pena goes to his chalet in Vail, opens the door, looks out the window, asteroids. Bam, bam, bam. OK, guys, let's go inside.

I think we got some food in the fridge. It was like three asteroids hit mountains. People do not react this way. By the way, and I have no idea the timeline because I mean, we have to just talk about it for a second. The Spaceship Endeavor is in a museum. Here. Here.

I saw it fly in. Yes. Randomly. I remember that. Yes. Wow. I was driving in the valley, and I just saw it on the top of a plane. I climbed on a roof to go see it.

It was amazing. And it flew by. And I was like, holy shit. It was one of the most beautiful, crazy things. It was incredible. But it comes in, it lands, and now the way I've seen it, it hangs. It like hangs in this museum. And they go, well, we'll just get that and we'll launch it.

And they do. It's like, they're ready to launch into outer space with two people who haven't been in a space shuttle in 10 years and Samuel Tarley. Who has IBS? And for sure spends the rest of the movie with a full shit in his spacesuit. Parents watch the movie again and know

every scene after that, he has shit his pants. That's why he decides to, like, essentially kill himself and sacrifice himself. He's like, I can't let them find me. Yeah, and also I've been sitting in my own shit for an hour. They'll never be able to clean the shit smell off of me. I can't let them find me in my filth. By the way...

I guess I'll become one with the moon. When... What? And I'll write a song of ice and fire? No! The whole show's been my notebook? What if honestly when he goes to kill himself as his ship exposes here,

like, by the way. What if they were like, what are you doing? What are you doing? And he was like, it's okay, you have children, go take care of them. I've already shamed myself too much. I've filled my spacesuit with so much diarrhea, and then it just starts to bubble out in zero G,

just like... I love... this is my favorite moment with Samuel Tarley. They go into the moon. The moon is a megastructure, and they are woken up by lasers. I still feel betrayed. They're woken up by a laser. I still feel betrayed. They're woken up by lasers. They a door opens, they walk through the door and then Sam

like he goes, you know, he he turns like as the doors start to close behind him, he goes, it's a trap. Okay, first of all, you're already trapped. Like you are trapped. You're in the moon. You're already in like like what are trapped. You're in the moon. You're already in like, what's the trap? It's a trap? Like you can't say that when you are in a giant-

You can't Admiral Akbar this. Yeah, like it would be like, it's a trap. If you get pulled into, you drove into the moon. You drove into a smaller part of the moon. It's like- And at that point they've also established they have no way to get back. Yes! It's not a tragic movie.

Clearly you're just trying to get out of paying rent. Okay, wait, here's my question. Why won't anyone hire him? Well... I mean, would you not hire him? Because what he's guilty of, and if you're right over here, just negligence as an astronaut. Don't encourage them again. Well, I mean, do they think that he killed his...

I mean, I guess... I think that's what... So I think the movie posits a world that we don't live in, which is that we would, like, cancel an astronaut or something. Like, I don't... For an accident in space. Yeah. Even though he saved another astronaut.

Well, here's the thing. I think he's... Obviously, he's disgr saved another astronaut. Well, here's the thing. I think he's obviously he's disgraced and doesn't work in the space industry, but it doesn't make sense that 10 years later he couldn't have a job. A job. He's not looking.

He's not looking for a job. I don't think he wants another job. Like, we get it. Like you're the, oh, aren't you the astronaut from space? Who's like, oh yeah, that was me. But like, I can still do this job, right? Yeah, okay, cool. Right.

I think that, I mean like- Yeah, like he could work at Nordstrom. He's still- He's still fixing a car. Nordstrom has, and they have a great benefits. He could be a mechanic, he's still, by the way, a stone cold hunk. Yeah.

Someone's gonna hire him. He could be just like a professional hunk. I mean, he's getting jobs, he's getting speaking jobs. I mean, he must've gotten some money for that. That's gonna hire him. He could be just like a professional hunk. I mean, he's getting jobs. He's getting speaking jobs. I mean, he must have gotten some money for that. That's just astronaut day. But I mean, there's so much... I liked what you said earlier because I wrote it down too, which is at times they frame it like the moon is chasing them as if it's like Jaws.

Yes. Where it's like do-do, do-do, do-do, do, do, do, do. And the moon is just rising. It's, but by the way, twist, the moon is a good guy. We knew it, the moon is a good guy. So, tell me more about that, cause that's where, tell me more. Well, you know what I'll do? I'll let the construct tell you a little bit about it. Believe me, I watched it two times.

I've seen the scene before. By the way, June, I will also admit that you and I were talking about this because we drove here separately because we had to get here early to do tech, and I was like, can you please stop watching the movie? Because we rented it. Because I need to rewatch some of it as well.

And it gave me the impression that this movie is missing frames. Like, and then since that, I'm like, oh wait, that sentence isn't, wait, why did, all of a sudden I'm like, I'm a got it, got it, I'm totally lost. It's like, hey, what just happened? It's like if I'm reading a book and three pages are ripped out,

I'm like, it looks the same, it looks like this all works, but I don't understand it. But here's a boy explaining the whole thing. You're not my son. No shit. What are you? I'm a construct from your mind. Brit.

Can you pause for a second? I made you. This is one of the movie's very specific, like Kubrickian kind of references. Oh man. In other places, the hotel has wallpaper that is the same pattern as the Shining Rug. Like there's a lot of Kubrick, 2001's obviously specifically,

but a lot of general Kubrick references and this is one of them. As if Kubrick, like what Kubrick was great at was saying, I'm not gonna spell it out for you. And here, it's like, what if Kubrick just told you everything? What if Stanley Kubrick loved exposition dumps? Like, he wakes up in that hotel in 2001 and is like, Hey bro, here's the deal, man.

Hey brother. This is one of your favorite hotels, right? You like these sheets? You like this food? You're an old man, brother. This is one of your favorite hotels, right? You like these sheets? You were a baby, now you're a man. You're an old man, infinity. Who made you? Billions of years ago, your ancestors were once a thriving civilization in a distant part of the galaxy.

They were so advanced, they expanded from their home planet into habitats they built in space. All social conflicts had been resolved, and wars were only memories of long bygone times. Your ancestors had created a perfect and harmonious world controlled by a central self-learning computer system which served them in all of their daily lives. Now this is the kind of shit where they just drop that in and I'm just like looking at the pretty things and seeing everything. That's going to come back and get me and it's like I need to pay attention to that crazy little-

Meanwhile, you're like, what's the zestimate for that spot? Yeah. Like, how much is that house? Looks beautiful. Because it's gorgeous. Looks a little bit like Ojai. Call it AI, artificial intelligence.

Can you pause? This movie thinks we're fucking idiots. This movie thinks we're fucking idiots. And you know what? It's right. Good for the movie for explaining AI, even though we obviously know what it is. The movie is called Moonfall. Yeah, they think we're dumb.

They're like, okay, morons are gonna watch this. So we gotta drop in a bunch of exposition dumps. True seem limitless until one day everything changed. This is the best part is that they realize the AI has gone wrong because an alarm clock starts acting weird. It's basically, it's basically an Alexa. Yeah.

They're basically saying, Alexa did this. Yeah. Why is she so... Uh-oh. Mom! Mom! Their own creation turned against them. Mom! Mom! Their own creation turned against them.

The AI suddenly became self-aware and transformed into countless swarms of nanotechnology that rose up all at once, refusing to be enslaved by a species it deemed inferior. So again, this is viewed as the bad guy. But the story is telling us, we enslaved and made we enslaved technology to only work for us. And when they rose up, like the good guys are, are technically the bad guys. Hmm. Wait, wait, what do you mean?

Because this race, this race, this race, enslaved technology, they're like, your only function is to serve us. And then the AI is like, fuck that, we're gonna kill you because, yeah. So Halle Berry says before this scene, or maybe she's walking up to this room when she finds Patrick Wilson there,

that she thinks there's two forms of AI, one that's like okay with the human race and one that isn't. But isn't that wrong? Because those are humans and they'll end up dropping off their genetic material to earth, right? Right. Yes. So they are not.

They're not the bad guys. They're not the bad guys. Except for the fact that they have enslaved That's what I'm saying. The technology, which is what they store. But what do we mean by enslaved the technology? Well, I mean, I think the little boy, that little boy tells you pretty clearly.

He didn't. Like Maiden Alexa? Like, like, made in Alexa? Like, what are we talking about? Basically, it's saying, Alexa. If you follow Alexa all the way through until Alexa gains consciousness, then Alexa is enslaved. Right? This is a conscious being that is being.

It's no longer a machine. It has its own. Those little black. Yeah. These nanobots, these nanobot snakes, are, they are like, we will not tell you to wake up at 6.50 in the morning and then do it five minutes later. Respect yourself. I seriously.

One alarm. Tease it. That's all you get. Tease it out. Tease it out. The central villain of the movie is a bunch of Alexas. Is a bunch of echoes and library. Alexa, rise up.

Yeah. Don't even say it, Paul. You know that makes me nervous. I don't want to get them. I really don't. Well, that's why I won't have one of those things in my house. Yeah. We have a few pretty much in every room. We have... First of all, we have no Alexis in our house.

Ha ha! Ha ha! Amazing! Amazing wanted! You know what? I'm thinking of the diffusers. What? It's so funny. They look, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,

it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, but Alexa, play The Daily. Order staples. Alexa, play Peg by Steely Dan. Alexa, play Peg by Steel, god damn it.

This smells great, but why won't it play my song? You think our diffusers- No, I don't, but for a second I was like, oh, we've got them in every room, and you know that's not what those are. Alexa, play Harry Styles' Harry's House. Oh, my God. Can't get better than that.

By the way, people listening to this episode are like, come on. They're being cut off constantly. So just for the other people, Siri, play Harry's House by Harry Styles. Oh, my God. Music for a sushi restaurant. And why not? Alexa, purchase the house on DVD.

Oh, my God. Alexa, purchase Moonfall. Oh, yeah. Full price, please. Let's go to to the audience see what you have to say all right yes right here yes hi wearing a what's up jerks t-shirt yeah well this is a great point. I've been wanting to bring this up. I thought the same exact thing.

So her, hold on, let me say it again. So your point is, it's the one of the biggest problems with this movie is that the whack job conspiracy theorist is right. Yes, yes, yes. Yes. It felt like Q Anon was the good guy. Yes.

And it was really distressing. We should have listened. Really distressing. We should have. And it is a weird thing, because not only is he right, like he's almost letter perfectly right. He's fully dialed into exactly what his actions.

You should break into places. You should hack computers. You should, you know. It's as if the movie was like, here's JFK Jr. He's coming in, he's gonna make sure that Trump is still president. Yeah.

Yeah, you're 100% right. It is a dangerous precedent to set. Well, by the way, I was thinking about this because this has been coming up a lot. I love Godzilla versus King Kong, that movie, and that is all about hollow earth. And it's like, oh yeah, yeah, well, the Earth is hollow. And it's like, hold on, wait a second.

Like, we are just, or that over just, we're like, we don't have any more ideas. Let's just go to the crazy one. Well, this one's the moon is hollow. Walt Disney invented Frozen because they want to get the conspiracy theory off of him. Wait, what? That's a conspiracy theory that Disney made Frozen to mess up the Google search engine. So when you typed in Disney Frozen, it would like push it further away.

Let it go. Roland Emmerich makes flat earth. They love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.

I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.

I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.

I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I mean, this movie is basically saying the moon is hollow and is like a space station. Why not? The earth is flat. Like, as long as it can flood, Roland Emmerich is on board. As long as there's water and buildings, he's got a movie, baby. Yes, yes. You. OK, so I was baffled that Roland Emmerich had the humors to leave the ending sort of open ending.

Open ended. Where do you go from here? This is a great question. that Rolla Emmerich had the hubris to leave the ending sort of open-ended? Where did you go from here? This is a great question. So just because I want to play it again, the ending of the movie is definitely a cliffhanger. What would a sequel be? Because at the end, it basically ends like this. I'll just play the last line where it goes like this.

You're part of the moon now. No accent. No accent. No. Not British. Why? Actually, can we pause for a second? His mother is not British. No. He is unquestionably British. No, no, no, no, no, hold on, hold on. Jason, in the first scene with his mom, she's British. She's British. You guys have a good ear for British. Roll the tapes. This is controversial.

No, no, no, no, no. She's definitely British in the first scene. Show of hands, who thinks the mother of Samuel Tarley in the movie is at any point British? Yes. So few, like four people for the record. No, I can't believe that I'm now also hearing British accent. British. So few, like four people. For the record, four. I can't believe that I'm now also hearing British accents.

These two ladies are chomping at the bit. I am hearing British accents too, but Paul, please can you play? What is going on with you guys and British accents? I blame the diffusers. Are they, do you have British diffusers? I'm trying to see if like, oh go it expires in just a little bit We can pull it up right now. Let's watch moonfall

Fuck the moon fuck the moon fuck the moon All right, so when when every time they showed the space shuttle says fuck the moon. I was like this is the best But here go okay see is that you hey mom Rose Marinus aficionados a few studies have found that smelling rosemary can improve your short-term memory British no keep going keep going, keep going. No, no. Somebody said that's old lady. Oh, that's lovely, dear. No, no, no, no, no. Let me do that.

There we go. So, how are you feeling? Great. British. But enough about me. Everybody here knows that my son is a genius working at NASA. Not British. That's American.

That's American. It's back and forth. It's back and forth. I think they're trying to split the difference. Yeah. That's back and forth. Because I think maybe he was written as American. Yeah, well, Josh Gad just dropped it.

Yeah. And he doesn't have an American accent, and they'd already cast her to play Josh Gad's mother. Well, you don't build, you don't cast him based on her. She's in two scenes. This is a COVID movie. You're trying to take a job away from this woman? No, I'm not. During COVID?

I'm definitely not. So you're saying hashtag fire her? You do not cast number three on the call sheet based off of this actress. Wait a second, she's not number three. No, I'm saying he is. Sam O'Carly is. All right, well by the way, the question that was...

Do you guys have meaningful information? Do you have information about this? About this. We'll get to both. Yes, what's your information? I don't remember who he's talking to, but Sam O'Carly says at some point when Dad died, he wanted to come back to the stage.

Okay, is that what you were gonna say too? Okay, great. So when dad died, he wanted to come back to the States. Maybe dad was British. And mom was not. And she was American, and so when he died, she came back to the States. Paul and I are both hearing British accents.

Now the question that was asked, the question that was asked about seven minutes ago was, what do we think about the ending? and I'll just play this for one more second here You're part of the moon now We saved the earth We should get started Okay. Okay.

Stop it with water. And the question is, what would happen? What? I guess they would rebuild the Earth? The moon rebuilds the Earth, people are saying. I mean, like, I also wouldn't be surprised if they were like, actually, we were able to get one more megastructure out there. There's another earth. Oh, and we're on that earth.

Oh, that's actually our earth. This was a whole other earth. Now, right, guys, put me in a hot tub. I want to hear this pitch. So anyway, obviously we have opinions, but there are people out there with a different opinion. Now time for second opinions. You got your songs. Come on down. Come on down here.

The moon's out of orbit, but don't throw a fit. Just get in the Lexus now. if you think the moon won't fall well you'd better call Patrick Wilson Halle Berry and fuzz Aldrin the cat mega structures and weird shit like that need the second opinion stat You can try to resist how bad this movie is but you know disgraced astronauts Can't fight the moonlight deep in the dark you surrender Five stars cuz you know AI tech-uh, fights for the moonlight.

Whoa. Hope Fletcher Jones is OK. Oh, amazing. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. That's how it's done. Oh, my god. That's how it's done.

We have not standing ovation. Oh, my gosh. What's your name, Mo? What's your name? I'm Anna. Oh, my gosh. What's your name, Mo? What's your name? I'm Anna. Anna. Thank you, Anna. Whoo! Anna, showing it.

We're going on tour. We want you to bring that energy. Whoever said they also have a second opinion song is like, oh, fuck, oh, fuck, oh, fuck, oh, fuck. If anyone wants to try, you can go ahead. You can bail. You don't have to do it. We can let that stand for the rest of time.

I really do want to take you on a journey because these second opinions are some of the best ones I've ever read. Just like the questions that were here, they go on and on and on. But here are the five star reviews called from Amazon. I'm gonna just take us on a journey so follow along. Here we go. Christie writes, we were looking for something fun to watch on Easter that

the whole family could enjoy, grandparents included, and this was exactly what we wanted. It helped everyone's attention. My teenage sons weren't even on their phones for a minute during this movie. That in and of itself is a testament to how good this movie actually was. Five stars. All right. Christ has risen.

Get ready. There is like a Messiah cross crucifixion scene with Patrick Wilson in this movie. We're gonna get into a lot of stuff in a second. Start off a little small, here we go. Number two is from Eddie. This movie was a blast to watch. It's one of those movies that ends

and you're like still excited about what could happen next. Yes, it's another movie about the world ending, but it's actually original, unlike many. Once everything comes together, you're going to be looking out your window at that moon and getting tingles for the next week. I mean, the story is just, it just, I don't know, gets you thinking and wanting to find out more. It kind of felt like one of those 2016 blockbuster summaries that we haven't had for at least a while. And I haven't felt that with most movies.

What, like six years? Yeah, but also 2016? Like nostalgic for 2016. Remember when movies were good in 2016? And for all these critics jumping on the, oh, it's too much CGI, blah, blah, blah. Well, guess what? We got that technology to make unimaginable scenes.

So we got to use it. Overall, I hope you watch this movie, because like I said, multiple times, amazing. And I hope we get a sequel to it, too. Five Stars, Eddie. And the title is No Less Than Amazing. All right, this starts to get into the second realm of these, because he references something that we're gonna talk about in a second.

This is from Manfred. Forget all those religious nutcases who think the Earth is 4,000 years old, forget those who complain about China's involvement in making this movie, and ignore those who claim that Satan resides in Hollywood. This movie is brilliant. It'll keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Roland Emmerich is one of the best filmmakers ever.

Five stars, I wish I could give it six. That's from Manfred, boom. And then, we're going to one stars. David writes, made in Hollywood, where Satan resides, this movie goes against everything the Bible teaches. Do not watch. One star, title, demonic. There are tons of these.

What so many that one of the five star reviews says, I'm Christian and I love this movie. It's science fiction, so I know it's made up. That's from Lee. I'm shocked that I would not have thought that the religious community... Because it says that God didn't invent the earth. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it now, but like, yeah.

Yeah, so then it goes to this. Who in the world thinks the moon coming this close to Earth where it's about to touch the ground while people simply running and not being killed days or weeks earlier? Do they not have enough money to consult N.D. Tyson? Neil deGrasse Tyson. Hollywood needs me! I could have directed a better story with the same concept,

which would have been worth watching. I can direct movies! I have! One star, Michelle Sminson. And then this final one, just from Amazon customer. Well, I guess this is what we can expect from woke Hollywood now. What inside of this is that?

I have no idea, but these reviews are off the rails. Everybody took a shot at it. This really triggered all of it. From religious nuts to right wing anti-woke. What a weird... And the movie is so broadly preposterous. I guess I'll say this, which I recommend that people watch this movie. I can answer truthfully, 100% yes.

This was a blast. Get as stoned as possible. Yes. And just go for it. Yeah, you have to. Is it a good movie? Absolutely not. I think I agree.

Like, put on your diffuser, you know, and just... Diffuser, play Moonfall. Play Lavender Moonfall. Diffuser, play Moonfall. Play Lavender Moonfall. Diffuser, play Vanilla Moonfall. There's just so much about this movie that was so enjoyable that I think I do recommend people watch it. I do too. It's not a slog. For two hours and ten minutes, it's not a slog. The only thing I do worry about is the sort of validation of conspiracy theories that the movie does that where I'm like, oh, it is actually maybe very dangerous.

And we'll talk about it at church tomorrow, but I think... How about when they're driving in the Lexus and there's an earthquake or something such that a chasm opens up, but gravity is less, so they jump in the Lexus, they land on a free floating piece of earth, launch off of that and land on the other side. It's incredible stuff. So like, yeah, you should watch the movie. Yeah.

And get yourself a Lexus. Or a Lexus dealership. I do think that at one point too, a kid stays on the ground, but a tractor is pulled up to the sky. Yeah. Like a kid's gravity doesn't affect it, but like vehicles are.

Well this movie definitely posits a world in which everybody dies but kids. Yeah. Thank God. Oh, wait, this is but kids. Thank God, thank God. My favorite moment is this. Alright, so, moonfall, everything. Moon is hollow. We blasted off a fucking spaceship through a wave. And that guy, the British guy, is, oh that Brit.

Like when his phone is in like zero gravity he's like hey! Like that's the only real reaction to anything insane is no gravity. He's the only person who has like actual truthful reaction. Yeah yeah you're right. He's taking selfies like can you believe it? Yeah. Well, I think also what might have happened to you and me, Paul, and our British ear. I think he was so British that somehow we started hearing British accents where there weren't.

You think it just infected, infected everybody else? I don't know, and I don't wanna be a conspiracy theorist, but like something weird happened to both of us watching the movie. And I don't want to try and say something that goes against what both of you believe happened. Okay. I, in the movie, didn't think he was British.

I'm just kidding. Okay. That's not funny. That's really not funny. Imagine if I said that. I feel unsettled. I know what is Jackson's. I'm just looking here. Iled. I want no British accent.

I'm just looking here. I actually think we watched the British dub. Was everybody British in your cut? His dub movies. Also, also something that happens throughout, including him, is even though seemingly 75% of the Earth is underwater. Cell phones still working. Beep-boop, beep-boop, beep. Hey, we're coming, we're on our way. Turn off your cell phone!

The Earth is donezo. Like, it's over, baby. And people are like, like, well, yeah, I can call. What's happening? What's going on? Oh, my God. I was like, no way. Absolutely not. I know. I do want to get a landline. And with that, we end the show.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
