Pesa's intro. Hello movie fans and jock fans.
Welcome back to Movie Jock Set.
Today we have a special treat for today's movie episode.
We have a special guest, a famous imposter of Movie Jock Set.
The co-host of the Movie Mindset podcast,
Will Menicker is joining us today.
Will, how are you?
Happy to be here on Movie Jock Set.
I learned everything I know about doing movie podcasts from Movie Jock Set.
Thank you so much.
I'm happy to be here and I'm excited to talk about today's movie.
Yes.
Jacques, do you want to tell us the movie that you chose?
The movie I chose is a classic film in my eyes.
It is the embodiment of action adventure and honestly,
a little bit of romance.
Now, while we're not going to lead with romance,
we've got some of the sexiest.
But Lord knows I want to But Lord knows I want to. When Lord knows I want to, Asia Argento, she made me not only, she changed my sex life,
but, well, she made, I don't know, she changed my first, first,
perspective of sexy women.
And then she also told me the woman I wanted to be.
Okay, period.
She made me chance. The movie by the way is triple X starring
Mr. Mr. Vintage Diesel
And this is vintage diesel if there ever was one Jacques
I asked you to get a piece of paper and a pen ready for this. Do you have it with you?
Sure
Yeah, I want you to write down on this piece of paper.
No, wait, actually, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Okay, no, it's fine.
If you don't have it, it's fine.
I just want you to- It's right there, it's right there.
It's just next to me, it's next to me.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, I want you to write down on this piece of paper.
Okay, I fell over, but I got it.
I want you to write down on it.
Hesse likes me.
Hesse likes the movie.
If Hesse makes fun of the movie, it's okay.
Okay, okay.
Keep that.
And I just want you to keep that on hand for what's about to happen because I
Did love this movie, but I think it's one of the most mentally disabled movies
I've ever seen in my entire life
Feel the same what will are you here to shit on my favorite movie, too?
Already starting I am not here to shit on your favorite movie.
Triple X is a fun movie.
I haven't seen it since it was first out, but there are some very funny aspects of Triple X.
I mean, Tony Hawk.
Yeah, Tony Hawk.
I mean, to me, it's like it's part of the enjoyment of this movie is the sort of the very distinct kind of time period and sort of genre.
Because it's like this movie, it's
very clear that they were trying to get
like a whole franchise of movies in the early 2000s that
could translate James Bond to a new metal
extreme sports generation.
And to me, the concept of extreme sports James Bond
is something that could only have ever occurred
in the year 2002, 2003, like right before the Iraq War.
And that's what I find fascinating about this movie.
And that's what I enjoy about this movie.
Yeah.
I mean, who doesn't love that Iraq War?
No, but there's nothing about the Iraq War.
Actually, there is nothing
more incredible about this movie than the whimsy it brings. And I understand that people
could read that as maybe being a bad movie. But I mean,
I totally agree with you, Jacques, the the kind of yeah, go ahead. You finished. Well,
okay. I mean, there there's just so there's too much going on to even just break it down
by just certain aspects.
Let's just start from the very beginning.
Well, I'm gonna break it down by certain aspects.
Yeah.
Yeah. Let's just start from the very beginning.
You opened the movie and Ramstein is playing live.
Yes. Ramstein is playing live.
And I just want to say that last night I started this movie
Uh, I had taken an edible and the opening scene made me cry laughing
Because the opening scene it is extreme sports James Bond
And what do you have to do if you're going to be?
Rewriting the the canon of a classic character such as James Bond in your movie
You have to kill your darling right off the bat. You have to kill
James Bond. You have to show that he no longer fits in this world. And they do this in one of
the funniest scenes I've ever seen in a movie in which a James Bond-like figure in a tuxedo
has apparently has a plan of
Entering a Ramstein concert climate and climbing up on the stage
Yeah classic James Bond style he's sort of
Trailing a courier through one of the the great cities of Europe in this case
Prague and then like you see this like shady sort
of European near dwell or good and he's got the package that I can double o7
wants and he's like but basically James Bond gets the drops on him by like
basically how would you say this like just sort of he like slides down a rope
and kicks him and then knocks him out and takes the package. It's already pretty extreme.
It's a little too easy.
But the thing is, James Bond, he doesn't fit in in the sort of international criminal underworld of the early 2000s anymore.
Because unlike the classy sophistication of playing baccarat smoking cigarettes and you know being in Monaco places
or locations like that or fucking any woman you want yeah yeah exactly now straight edge you have
to be celibate straight edge no no no diesel straight edge he kills someone for drinking he
kills someone for smoking
He doesn't you have tattoos you do have to have tattoos be into extreme sports and
Be able to fit in at a Rammstein concert
James Bond gets killed
We find out that the package was a molecule that he
lost.
It's so easy to lose a molecule.
I know. I'm so sick of losing my fucking molecule.
I have a quote about this. That's a fragment of a complex molecule.
It's even smaller than a regular molecule.
Yeah, like, oh, okay.
I want to drop the molecule in the'm like, oh, OK. He crack up. When they said that, I was like, OK, scientist.
And so basically, yeah, James Bond
couldn't retrieve this molecule.
Samuel Jackson's like, well, there's our one idea,
sending James Bond in.
And we could have one of our agents change their clothes.
But what would be a lot easier is if we kidnapped a
bunch of X Games extreme sports guys.
Criminals.
Yeah.
But like these are like pranksters more than criminals.
Like making YouTube videos about stealing cars and stuff.
I'm Johnny Knoxville and this is Anarchy 99.
Yeah.
Oh my god.
Wait, before we even get further into the explanation of all of this,
the intro scene is XXX driving a convertible off the side of a bridge that he used,
kidnapped from a senator who is against violent video games and violent music.
Yeah, no, Jacques, I'm glad you brought this up because the introduction of the character
Xander Cage in this opening sequence is my favorite part of the movie because it depicts
a California state senator arriving in his Corvette to like a country club and the first
thing we see is that like this asshole just rolls up to the valet parking and it's just like,
hey, like you know, where, you've been to Tijuana
Like come on, what's the delay here? But he has a bumper sticker on his Corvette that means
Skateboarding is a crime
Yeah, and I would just like to say if you're picturing what this guy looks like and acts like
picture the the Bill Gates impersonator from Nathan for you and
Picture the Bill Gates impersonator from Nathan4U. He goes up and I wrote down the exact quote that he says to, I almost called him Nicolas
Cage, to Xander Cage.
He says, where'd you come from, Tijuana?
I'm sorry, please take good care of my car.
Little does he know that the valet parking attendant is one extreme athlete and illegal
extreme athlete video production star?
Criminal.
Zander Cage played by Vin Diesel.
And he and his car have just entered the Zander zone.
Yes, he's now we are now firmly in the Zander zone.
Zander is escaping, but the senator has placed a call
There's a barricade at the back of at the end other end of a bridge and they're like the cops on the other end of
The barricade of the bridge are like he's heading this way
We got him hook line and sticker. There's nothing he can do unless he uses that ramp that someone put in the middle of the bridge
About halfway between him and us that's kind of angled off
the side of the bridge. Well let me just say that police are famously stupid and then also
if I you know I mean let's just be honest if we all saw this ramp none of us would know that that's
what was gonna happen who would know that that's what was gonna happen he was gonna drive off. I
think you're right I think in our world Something like that is quite unlikely
He is I just like that like he has selected this senator's car for his like most extreme stunt yet
I'm jock you already alluded to it, but like not only is this state senator opposed to skateboarding
Which he said what she says is a crime
He is also opposed to rap music and video games. And Xander Cage is like,
listen asshole, like it's A, it's just music, B, video games are the only education we got
because you cut the budget. And that's when he drives his car off a bridge and base jumps
out of the top of the convertible, where he is then parachutes to safety and is rescued by Tony
Hawk with a cool cameo.
There's nothing funnier than this expression that Tony Hawk has looking towards Xander
floating down in a parachute of amazement like, haha, my bro's done it.
Yeah and then also they're also being watched by like a line of like 15 cops off of the bridge and has zero problems
Like or concern that they're about to get zanked
Yeah, that's well Jack
It's because the top the bridge is in one state and the the gulch at the bottom of the bridge is in another state
So those cops have no jurisdiction
but
After that they go to a celebratory party, which I assume...
Hosted by rapper Eve, by the way.
Yeah.
Who's who's Zander Cage's manager?
Yes.
So sexy.
I wish that was my manager.
And there's a lot of fun cameos from people I did not recognize and don't know who they
are.
There's a couple of professional skaters.
There's Tony Hawk and there's a couple other ones.
A couple other guys who are in the Tony Hawk video game.
I know that. I know that much so there's a professional BMX guy in it that I actually met in Austin
No, I can't remember his name, but he okay
so there's a there's two professional BMX actors in this movie at the beginning of their career and
Long story short. I'm in Austin and I'm wearing head-to-toe
official triple X movie a career and long story short, I'm in Austin and I'm wearing head to toe
official triple X movie promotional stuff at HGV.
And this guy walks up to me and says, hey, is that for the movie triple X? And I was like, yeah, of course.
It's one of my favorite movies.
And the guy goes, you know, it's crazy.
I was actually in that movie.
So he takes a picture of me, sends it to his group chat,
and they're all like, what the hell?
People still like this movie.
And it was a full circle moment for me.
I mean, come on.
I've been repping this movie for years.
Yeah.
And I mean, we wish it was all fun and games.
And they just partied with the BMX guys and the skateboarders.
But unfortunately, a SWAT team crashes through the windows and in the first time of three times in the next seven minutes of the movie,
Xander Cage is knocked out and wakes up in a strange place. Right before the NSA breaks in on the extreme party compound,
like Eve's illegal prank video production website,
and the cool songs they're having.
Such a lame business.
Yeah. There's a representative from a video game company
who approaches Vin Diesel, and she's like,
you're a hard guy to get hold of Xander Cage and like, here's my card, let's do a video
game. And then Eve sort of pulls her aside and says, just so you know, Xander Cage, he's
never going to sell out. And then right there, he's recruited by the NSA to become a secret
agent for the United States government.
Also, I love Eve, but the acting from Eve between this
Eve in the video game like woman is just awful.
Like God awful, like Eve can barely maintain like words.
I mean, that's I I suspect that
Vin Diesel's character in this movie is touched by an angel a little bit
because he was molested will you're right that
I don't think an angel is someone who molests you honey. Well
but I think that
Like
Fuck what was I gonna say? Oh, yeah, he
Will you're right in that he is recruited by the NSA. That does certainly
happen. But he doesn't really know what's going on for maybe the next week of his life
conservatively.
Yeah. So Sam Jackson puts him through a series of tests to see if he has the stuff to be
a secret agent, beginning with... They shoot him with a dart at his party compound. And
then he wakes up in a diner and he's just like oh what's going on and I'm like but he
begins to notice that there are things awry in this diner that all is not quite
as it seems and it appears that they're like he's woken up in the middle of a
robbery and he like very breezily just takes the guns away
from the assailants, revealing that Samuel L. Jackson is just
like, good job, Xander.
You passed your first test.
Yeah, and there's an amazing scene.
I have the quote.
I have the quote right here.
Wait.
Oh.
Oh, go ahead.
So in revealing that he has determined
that this is a fake setup, that they're not real robbers
But he and vendies on his like really sexy voice. He's like, but you want to know what really where you blew it with
My aunt was in the restaurant business all her life. There's no way a career a career waitress comes to work
high-heels
She'd have blisters the size of a pancakes before lunch.
I mean these people should have gotten Emmys or Grammys or whatever you give them.
Yeah both. They should have gotten an Egon for this movie.
Yeah all of them.
But I just love the idea that he's like nice try this place that I woke up out of nowhere
Nice try. This place that I woke up out of nowhere after getting after getting shot by a blow dart with a sleeping potion in it by a SWAT team that broke into a party.
I could tell this wasn't a real diner with a real robbery going on.
I knew something was up from the start when I woke up.
You didn't. And then they knock him out again. It's been maybe three minutes.
They shoot him again.
Yeah, he's been conscious for maybe three minutes at this point.
They shoot him again and he wakes up on a military cargo plane.
Yeah, and he has a parachute on and they're like he looks around there's other there's two other extreme sports guys in there
And he's like oh you guys got kidnapped by a weird guy, too
And you guys been to the diner lately
He's like graduates of the diner test and they all high-five and laugh
And then they're like okay guys the back of the plane is
gonna open and you just open your parachutes and you'll just fall out onto
a runway and they're like okay let's do it they do that and then they don't
know walking in a random direction well at triple X says his most famous line of
the entire I live for this shit exactly right before the parachute pulls him violently out of the plane. Right before ragdolling out of the back of a plane.
Tumbling for 40 feet on a dirt runway.
I like to use that before I do a drop when I DJ.
I live for the shit.
Oh, that's a good one.
That's good.
That is good.
What we see, essentially, the next level Samuel L. Jackson's NSA agent test is that they drop like
like three extreme athletes
They drop them in the middle of a cocaine farm in Colombia and like they are immediately beset upon by the you know
Managers of this drug lab led by the great Danny Trejo
Yeah, yes, and they got him in a good role for this. And they chose him right. Yes
outside his comfort zone
Portrays yeah, yeah
and
I I mean this is why I think he's a little touched because he gets he like literally in his perception of the world
Ten minutes ago. He was at a party celebrating a stunt he did.
And now he is on a dirt runway in Colombia.
And guys are shooting it with like AK-47s and they're going to torture him.
Yeah. And he's not really sure if it's real or not.
And then he smells real blood on the machete and he's like, oh, better get out of here.
Yeah, his Riddick powers kick in.
Also, he said Danny Trejo, better get out of here. Yeah, his critic powers kick in. Also, so Danny Trejo slaps him once with the machete.
And Xander Cage responds with, you better not hit me
with the machete again, or you're
going to get a real beating.
And then, of course, Danny Trejo.
I'm going to throw you a beating.
It's such old world language.
Yeah.
Throw you a beating.
I'm going to go outside and cut a switch off one of these
cocaine trees. And I did like when they first arrive in the
cocaine, like in the coca fields or whatever, like one of the
extreme athletes is like, bro, you know what this is? This
shit's worth like millions back in the States. And he just
starts pulling leaves off the coca plants and stick it in his
pocket. It's like, well, it's not really worth anything until
it's refined into the powder product.
You can maybe get like four grains.
I don't think it's bringing a branch of the cocoa.
Yeah, yeah.
But then one of them just tried to leave with a brick
after they escaped the torture chamber.
Well, yeah.
Which is a strong, straight edge message of this movie.
Well, also, just really quickly to bring up,
at this point, the Colombian government
has started to intervene on this
We don't have to even address this
I don't I feel like well just to explain that they've left the torture chamber
Because the Colombian government has started shooting with helicopters at them. Yeah, and Star Wars lasers at them. Yeah
It's really bright a lot of explosions and but it gives it gives it okay
I mean like I think I like about this movie is that like it really does It's really bright, a lot of explosions. And we get a sick. But it gives, it gives Andrew K.
I mean, like, I think what I like about this movie
is that, like, it really does give,
like, try to give, like, a little platform,
a little highlight to, like, every variety of extreme sports.
And in this one, we get to see his dirt bike skills a lot.
We can see his motorcycle skills a lot.
And he sort of escapes from this cocaine compound as it's being attacked by the Colombian government on
a like a dirt bike, like a like a motocross kind of bike. And
there was a cool stuff where he basically jumps through the barbed
wire but like sort of like, it has to like put the bike
horizontal and sort of like slip through it like that. That was
cool.
Yeah, like drop kick through the fence.
It was so sexy the way he went between that barbed wire.
I got a little bit moist, if I'm being honest.
Exactly.
So it's like, this being one of your favorite movies,
who do you say you like more in this movie, Vin Diesel
or Eja Argento?
Because I find a lot of my favorite movies
have someone I think is very hot or you know like sort of like
played a large role in my fantasy life. I'll be very frank with you too that
Asia Argento in this movie was not only my sexual awakening but the
beginning awakening of my gender identity. I have So where can we send the bill?
I mean, Chuck, I have to agree with you.
I think Agent Argento is extremely, extremely hot.
She's so sexy.
Obviously she's not hot and the heart is despicable above all things.
That was a really rough watch.
Don't watch it.
You've seen the most random movies, dude.
I saw it with my mom in theaters and we got like an hour and a half way through the movie
and had to leave because it was absolutely.
An hour and a half is a long way to get into that.
We pretty much had to leave when Marilyn Manson starts
raping the boy.
Real scene happening in the movie.
Marilyn Manson betraying a trucker.
And by the way, this is.
Great movie to see with your mother.
Jesus.
Yeah. Anyway, anyway, wait. Is your Argento is so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, ma'am. Okay, fine. Not the least of which is that he does get knocked out again when the Colombians first get him and that's the third time within five minutes I think that he
gets knocked out and wakes up in a new place and is completely unfazed by it. And when Danny Trejo
walks in and he thinks that this is an actor sent here by the NSA, all I could think was Danny Trejo being like oh my
god you're Dom Toretto and then the plot of Tropic Thunder happening where he has to play his mentally
challenged character for all of these cocaine traffickers. But after they
after he makes it out of this insane plan. Samuel Jackson, one of my favorite, there's a lot of parts
in this movie, I think a lot of the knocking out scenes in the script, they were like in
brackets it said, fill in later or something like, and they never did. Yeah. These are
the scenes we need. Let's not worry about how to get from scene to scene. And you know
what? I respect that a lot.
And I think it was the right choice.
I think this is brilliant cinematography and movie work.
And by the way, if you didn't know,
Samuel L. Jackson's character's name is Augustus Gibbons.
Augustus Eugene Gibbons.
What were they thinking with this name?
Yeah, I don't know. It kind of has the same effect that Rita
Rosoli played by Whoopi Goldberg in Fatal Beauty.
It just doesn't seem like a name that would really fit together with the actor, actress.
I don't know why.
The I mean, whoopi Goldberg fits less with Whoopi Goldberg.
Augustus Eugene Gibbons is sort of like Nick Fury.
That's the same role.
Nick Fury, honestly, not as good as Augustus Eugene Gibbons.
Oh, not even close.
I mean, what's Nick Fury?
It's from the Marvel movies.
It's his character in all the Marvel, the MCU movies.
But I do just want to mention maybe my favorite little detail in the entire
In the entire movie my favorite the headcanon of my of this movie for me is that?
Samuel Jackson tells him he's like look I don't even want to be in the NSA so just take me back home and Samuel Jackson's like no
We got your ass that one crime you did apparently the first crime you've ever done all three strikes
You got all three strikes, and then he points to the tattoo on Nicolas Cage
I keep calling him Nicolas Cage on the back of his neck and he's like each one of those X's
It's basically like each one is a strike that you got and you're you've got three strikes
So you're going to jail forever if you don't do this job and
in my headcanon um zander cage got that tattoo right before
then right before doing the corvette stunt because he's like
i'm gonna get all three strikes from this one baby i'm going away for life
also why is a guy like that scared of jail
he seems like he would be totally in the ass playing getting fucked on the dl
yeah that's not the only thing that happens in jail. Like there's a lot of downsides as well
Like no snowboarding no, no fucking base jump
That hits him like a train he's like no more mountains and
He looks like he was just told his entire family died in a car wreck
Well, you've never spent any time in jail, right? I spent one night in
Providence, Rhode Island lock-up. Let me tell you something. Yeah, I spent three and a half weeks as a 17 year old in
Lafayette, Louisiana jail and for five felonies for industrial vandals.
And honestly, at times it was rough, but more so,
and I wasn't even getting butt-fucked or anything like that,
but more so than anything,
it's a place where people come to celebrate action movies.
We watched Face Off in English and in Spanish.
Yeah.
That's awesome. That's awesome.
The same thing happened to me in the Psych Ward.
We watched Taken 3, I think, to play twice in English and Spanish.
And then we watched American Gangster on Christmas.
It was a special treat.
But one of my favorite.
So Samuel Jackson has his ass and he's like,
you're going to Prague to do a plan that is not clear
and will not become clear throughout the movie.
And so he gets to Prague.
They arrive in Prague and he's in the safe house from Munich.
Imagine that Eric Bona just left with those
Mossad commandos.
Well, basically, he's been recruited by the NSA and sent to Prague to
infiltrate the radical terrorist group Anarchy 99, who the NSA believes has
acquired a Soviet era chemical or biological nerve gas
developed by the Soviet Union right before it collapsed
called Silent Night.
The good shit, aka the good shit.
Well, you say that and that would make sense,
but at this point, and they're very clear about this, I'm pretty sure,
all they know is that they have a fraction of a molecule.
They don't understand...
Well, I mean, if there's a fraction of a molecule, you can bet that the remainder of the molecules
are soon to be discovered.
They're close by with this Ennardky 99 group.
And what I like about, you know, Jacques, if I could offer a critique of this movie,
my critique would be, I think the weakest part of this movie are the villains
Just be careful what they're about to say because I will get deeply offended and probably fly to New York to have to have a
Fist of Cuffs match
Reclaim our friendship
The villains of this movie were not my favorite part of it
but I did like that they were all sort of like
Russian euro trash and like part of him being a legit is there like like you're an agent now
You know what that means you're going to the club soldier. You have to party with these
degenerate euro trash who like, you know
You know Ramstein and things like that. Yeah, very it's very
You know very 90s action movie, you know this,. This Bucharest or Budapest, Eastern European kind of, but still not behind the iron curtain
type place with a bunch of guys with shaved heads named Ivan who are wearing turtlenecks
at all times and
Basically like Xander Cage
gets there
He meets a guy who looks like the cartoon man in the opening credits of the pink panther movie
because his nose is so long and
He Xander Cage delivers to him the immortal line
Let's get this straight.
You may not want me here,
but I definitely don't want to be here.
Two, I'm never under anyone's jurisdiction.
Yeah, this is a frosty working relationship
with Czech intelligence.
Yeah.
This is the same thing I say to the bell house management
when I'm doing a show there
I'm under no one's jurisdiction
There will be a case of bings and you will call me Xander Cage and you will treat me like a sexy
And by the way, I have to mention this really quickly I do have a ten foot long
really quickly, I do have a 10 foot long poster, official movie poster of Xander Cage that used to go from my ceiling down to my
bed. And I would look at him every morning when I woke up. And
honestly, he is so sexy. And so is a jar of gentle and I want to
be both of them at the same time. And when I see them kissing, I
see my gender before me.
That's beautiful.
That's wonderful.
Jack, one thing I want to note that I would like to point out in the in like,
you know, the Prague parts of this movie is that this movie, the director of this
film, Rob Cohen, who did the original Fast and the Furious movie.
Oh, I didn't even know that.
Yeah, yeah. He was the director of the original Fast and Furious movie.
He lays in one very canny movie reference in this movie.
It's sort of a throwaway scene, but it's sort of a street scene in Prague.
And it features a sort of a busker playing music on an instrument known as the zither
And this would be of course this would be of course. This is a very famous reference to a very famous movie
Carol reads the third man starring Orson Welles and Joseph Cotton
There's like he's a little sister this is sorry
Zither music is sort of the played throughout that movie and the opening credits take place over the strings of a zither being plucked.
Yes, and Will, not only is it just zither music, it is the third man theme.
It is the theme for the third man.
Yeah, but with some extra jazzy improvisation thrown in, which I really appreciate.
Which is like a nice contrast to like all the other, I mean like all the soundtrack
to this movie is, Jacques, would you agree that the soundtrack to this movie is is yark would you soundtrack this movie oh one of the big the sound this movie is
seals the deal to make this such a sexy package of action adventure fun and
beauty let's let me really quickly state that you will never see a movie with
orbital the band playing live in a club in Russia with Technicoils
shooting out like electric bolts everywhere. I don't know. What do you call those?
Like a Tesla Coil.
Yeah, the Tesla. I said Tetra Coils. What am I saying?
You didn't even say Tetra Coils either.
I said Tetris Coils.
Well, we got, you know, like Queens of the Stone Age. You've got Let the Bodies Hit the Floor song.
I like to imagine that like the soundtrack to this movie was
exclusively played in tanks, American tanks in Baghdad.
Oh, absolutely.
I had to think of like when I imagine the soundtrack to this
movie. Oh, absolutely.
There was one song that was so bad that I had to look it up and
write down the name. It's called I Will Be Heard by Hatebreed.
Oh, that's in the Avalanche theme.
That was yes. That song honestly rock.
OK, there's I I'm I don't even know what you're talking about.
Bad song. I mean, also Orbital, this incredible two brothers,
electronic music group.
Yeah, I was really shocked. Orbital was in this movie. Not only that, but they make an original song for the movie
based off of the name of the club that they're playing at called Technologic Park.
And this is this this is the part of the movie where Asia Argento gets the sexiest.
She grapples her front two hands onto the side of a railing to dance alone and the most
provocative I mean I was like I know I like women and I know I want to be a
woman and in that moment. These clubs featuring acts such as
Orbital and Rammstein are a big part of the kind of quote-unquote legitimate front
to the
terrorist group Anarchy 99 who you know they're like we've done business now we
must party listen to orbital to brothers at Club Technologique but really all
their clubbing and like you know Vin Diesel's original approach to them is
that like he needs them to buy high-end cars for an American client but
they're like all fans of his I like that he doesn't try to have a secret identity
he's just like it's me Xander Cage well-known extreme athlete vacationing in
Prague I'm gonna approach these gangsters and see if they can get me
some cool cars and then they're like indeed we can because we all love your
videos bro you crazy yes and I really have to stress up to this point
This is just this is not a terrorist group. It's just some guys some guys like do E every weekend
Yeah, it's it's not clear that they're evil
until maybe
An hour and 15 minutes into the movie when their plan is revealed
Yeah, when they're like, you can't.
We'll get to their plan, but one of the things I love,
like, Will, I wrote down when he,
what the main guy says to him,
and I really feel like the script of this movie
was one and done, one draft,
because the main villain says to him, who are you?
And he says, my name is Xander Cage.
And then he's like, I know.
He's like, what the hell?
What are they talking about?
Well, he was testing him to see if he was going
to use a secret identity.
And then they would know he was an agent.
He orders 10 cars from them.
And Samuel Jackson's very-
Kind of a ridiculous order.
I mean, just-
I love it when Samuel Jackson was like damn it cinder cage
We give you very expensive stuff. Sorry
We give you very specific instructions on what kind of cars to order and he was like all those cars were
Wack there were cars. There were those cars who laid so I would have been spotted immediately
Because I wasn't asking them for cool enough cars
Yeah, and the cars are all that he gets are all
Ferraris and a GTO and he was like the GTO is very hard to track down in Europe for obvious reasons
Yeah, they don't appreciate classic American muscle cars in the Czech Republic
Not like Xander Cage. Are you a bit of a car guy? Well, no, I'm not I'm not a car guy at all
I try to say I found something really not impressive about the, you know, the GTO out of all the fucking cars that he gets to choose.
He has to have like the kind of lame sort of like basic looking just, you know, is that really you would think this shock you would be.
I would have loved him in an El Camino or like, you know,
I would have loved him in an El Camino or like, you know, an El Camino. He's like going max speed like 60 miles an hour,
like trying to escape from people. Or I mean, at least his
cousins are in the his cousins are in the trunk. But but but
as our our our male straight correspondent here, what is the
significance of a GTO into the male culture?
Well, it's like, it's like, it's a, it's a,
in the classic American fashion, it's a very large car,
like big automobiles of that, like, you know,
60s, 70s, 50s era.
The Cadillac.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Like, it's a big muscle car.
So, there are cars with, that have huge engines.
It's like, kind of similar to the one that Dom Toretto
gets at the, you know, like the big black muscle car that he has in Fast and Furious.
The point is that like, you know,
like Ferraris are very fast, they're very quick,
but the GTO has just like a much bigger engine.
So it can go faster on straightaways than a Ferrari,
I believe.
It's like European versus American.
Yeah, exactly.
The Ferrari is like, that's the,
that is the epitome of like European
engineering and like sexy sport car elegance and the GTO is like the epitome of American muscle
car like speed and power. Yeah and the I also love like the idea that the cars that were originally
on the list would have gotten them caught. Was it like a Toyota Tercell?
Yeah, we need a Toyota Tercell, a Pontiac Aztec, a Dodge Stratus.
Yeah. Superoon Prisa.
They need a PT Cruiser with the PT Cruiser.
The PT Cruiser with the what do you call it?
The wood grain side. Yeah, the wood panel. Yeah.
We need to get back to that kind of society
where we were making those kind of cars
Or like when the Thunderbird remake came out
Yeah, as hell
Also before before they go to club technocratic or whatever it's called
Technologic park. I'm trying to move us along here because I know we don't have
but the, he gets geared up by his, the cue and kind of like the sidekick,
the unearned sidekick role of the movie is a character named Toby Lee Shavers.
And he gives Vin Diesel one of the most seven yearold boy arrays of gadgets of all time, which...
Gadget number one, a gun with 20 different kinds of bullets that can do anything.
Gadget number two, goggles that can let you see a girl's boobs through her clothes.
He gives him literal x-ray specs.
The first thing he does is look at some sexy Czech secret agent at the shooting range, He gives him literal x-ray specs.
The first thing he does is look at some sexy Czech secret agent at the shooting range.
He's checking him out and he's looking through her clothes at her underwear.
Amazing.
Yes.
And gadget number three, one of my favorites, is explosives, cleverly disguised as bandages and a detonator which is
cleverly disguised as a detonator. In all fairness the detonator just looks like
an mp3 player from the early 2000s. I really think the detonator prop is the same as the
molecule prop from earlier in the movie. The x-ray binoculars that he's given, Agent Shaver is just like, like put it in
penetrator mode to look under women's clothing. The X-ray mode is literally called penetrator
mode. So damn it. I got you rape goggles. He's like, cool. And then yeah, they do the car
exchange. He shoots the Prague guy with a fake bullet that makes it look like he was shot with a real bullet and then
They go to energy 99's castle like a classic Bond villain. He has to have a layer
You know, yes stuff like his
Sexy layer they got the other two to the hot pot in a hot fountain in the front and
in a hot fountain in the front, in bikinis. And we, at this point, Vin Diesel, one hour into the movie about, delivers one of the funniest lines,
given where it comes in the movie, which is, so what is Anarchy 99?
And the main villain kind of tells him,, you know, we we don't like government
We because we want to be able to do whatever we want
And then they go to the lair and the main villain tells Vin Diesel
This used to be someone else's house, but we just kind of took it and at this point I started being like
What are these guys upset about because it seems like they are ready or doing everything they want to do
No thesis behind
We want to snowboard all the time we want to club every night we want to live in a castle
It's like bro. You're doing that already. You don't need to kill. You don't need to kill everyone in Prague.
Yeah, and I mean we'll get to their life is awesome right now like
Who is oppressing you like what are you? Why are you doing this? I do like though after it like after he infiltrates energy 99
He gets like I like a bank account number from them Like he makes the overture about selling the cars.
And he's like, all right, I'm going home.
And Samuel L. Jackson's like, not yet.
We're not ready to pull you out.
Like you have to like continue to associate with them.
And one of my favorite lines in the movie
is when Zander Cade says to him, he's like,
are you for real?
He's like, these guys are cool, but they're not that cool.
I don't want to spend the week with them.
Yeah, I love, I also love how he's like, okay I guess.
I gotta keep working for you.
Also when he first gets to the palace, he goes into his room and there's a stripper
doing a sexy dance to a really funny song, doing a sexy dance grinding on an ornate carved like bed
post with maybe uh Jacques you are right the cinematography of this movie is
really good like oh my god are you kidding me the the the avalanche scene
alone yeah I mean especially the snow hitting the screen it's like you're
there especially the stunt work is like very I imagine like extremely innovative for the time
Like this is how all action movies are shot now and I feel like this was on the kind of on the cutting edge of the stunt
Ford American
2000s brand of
of action movie where like doing extreme sports style stunts like this
We wouldn't have the mission impossible the modern mission impossible style stunts like this we wouldn't have the mission
impossible the modern mission impossible movies without stuff like this but after
that there's a scene where he catches Asia Argento coming in and there's a
floor in the in the they're in the palace they're in a huge room in the
palace the floor is shaped like a chessboard, and I really pictured the studio executives smoking cigars,
writing this in one night,
coked out of their minds in a hotel room,
being like, the floor can look like a chessboard,
which kind of symbolizes the chess and mouse game
that he's having with this girl.
I'm crying.
Yeah, like, the, uh, the like they kind of have an exchange. He thinks Asia Argento is like
a thief at this point. Who's trying to steal from steal from these guys. And as she's leaving,
he yells at her. Hey, that cop I shot isn't dead. And it's so loud, you can hear it echoing through
the place. And then it cuts from that to the main bad guy getting a call from someone who's like, getting a call telling him basically that...
Yeah, a mole who dimes out Xander Cage as a secret agent working for the Americans.
But in my mind, first watching this movie, I was like... It's one of his henchmen being like,
Hey, yeah, boss, I just heard from down the halls and or KGL that isn't dead.
Well, he also says it in the in the most nonchalant way is an
exit line between the two is Argento and him he just goes,
by the way, the cop a shot isn't even dead. I mean, he says it
with kind of ease. He doesn't say it like in a fucking like
Yeah. It doesn't say it like in a fucking... Like...
It doesn't check out.
Sound carries in those old houses.
Yeah, absolutely. And so basically they know he's a mole.
He's at the fanciest restaurant in the world with Asia Argento.
And a character who looks like Elon Musk and Vladimir Putin fused together
has a sniper trained on him from outside and
They have an ingenious plan to like make it's kind of like notorious where she has to seem
Like she's still on the bad guy side
and
Zander cage escapes he slides on a dinner a silver platter down a railing
Oh keep going sorry, I'm gonna cut you off Ica
Yeah, yeah, oh wait no my audio
Oh
No worries. No worries, no, my audio got fucked up. Oh, no worries, no worries.
And then Xander Cage, this is where we get, like Samuel Jackson,
he meets Samuel Jackson at an opera house in Prague,
where Samuel Jackson is watching a performance of Don Giovanni by himself.
And you can do that when you're the head of the NSA.
They let you do anything
Well, you're Augustus Gibbons. You do whatever you want
Yeah, these anarchy 99 guys should have joined the NSA because it seems like he can just do whatever
Like he's on god mode in a video game. Like what if we drop him into?
Columbia that would be fun
That's how I find out if they're right to work for us
But yeah, Samuel Jackson basically tells him like look I know your girlfriend is in there
I know she's not evil, but look we got to just go send in a team and kill everyone there
So he's like I got to go in I got to take her out of there first
We at this point are an hour and 20 minutes into the movie and it's not yet clear. What is going on or what the
What anarchy 99 is doing but we discover in this scene um in i okay at this point my notes become
every other note is in all caps what even was their plan what is their plan this plan is ridiculous
What is their plan? This plan is ridiculous
stuff like that because
There there's a reveal of I don't know how else to describe this thing But it like a pod racer from episode one
Is revealed underneath the bad guys lair and it's they keep saying this is our submarine
guys lair and it's they keep saying this is our submarine this submarine can travel for months and it just has to come up every few days to get some
sunlight because it's solar powered which I was like okay that sounds a lot
like a nuclear submarine but worse because it has to keep coming up and
surfacing but they have this like submarine they keep calling it a submarine and I cannot stress that enough.
It looks nothing like a submarine. It looks like a spaceship.
I think it's fair to say that this is not a submarine because we see it used in the movie and it is very clearly a hovercraft.
Yeah, we will get to the usage of this. Because this, for me, this is the most frustrating and insanity inducing
part of the movie is my plan I'm willing to agree that this is where the part of
the movie I this one my all-time favorite movies is where it falls apart
kind of really it really falls it is in shambles but from this point on but it's
still so fun to watch and still so like awesome. Classic action cinematography.
And so they should have given him a Golden Woody.
Yeah, a Golden Woody.
And basically, yeah, awarded by Mort Rifkin every year
to the greatest movie of the year.
But they are like, we got this submarine.
It's awesome.
Now, finally, we have a way to get our deadly nerve gas
that can kill a million people to the center of Prague.
And it's revealed that they've just had this nerve gas
but they were just waiting to build this submarine
so that they could have a delivery method for it.
And their plan ostensibly is to drive this submarine above water. Like
about a foot or two above the water. It's a hovercraft, you know? Yeah, yeah. It's hovering
above the water. To drive it into Prague, launch missiles straight up into the air and
I guess the missiles would come directly back down to the exact same place they were launched from and then explode.
And their plan...
Just one more...
Releasing the toxic nerve gas.
One more element of this plan that I think bears scrutiny is that they make it very clear
by the end of the movie or at some point when they're talking about this Soviet nerve agent
Silent Night that the only way to disarm it is with water.
Yes. Yes.
So I'm beginning to see that there's sort of a flaw
with their plan and their delivery system
more specifically.
Yeah, a submarine is probably the top one worst ways
to deliver.
A water sensitive bomb.
A WMD that is-
Can be disarmed by water, by getting wet.
Yes, yeah exactly. And basically,
also this plan is basically to kill everyone in Prague with this nerve agent so that Prague won't
know who did it, the Czech government won't know who did it, and that will start World War 3.
But the Czech government is very clear from the jump that the Czech government knows that
it's them.
So this plan doesn't make, just on so many levels, this plan, this is maybe the most
frustrating plan I've ever seen in a movie.
Well they called them Anarchy 1999, They didn't call them Quiz Bowl.
They didn't call them the debate team.
Mensa 99, yeah.
You know, all the people that are building the technology
throughout this movie, the evil people, the scientist.
I mean, it's not like any of these extreme sports junkies
know how to turn a, you know,
a switch on and off to make a bomb.
Yeah. And give me a break.
So Xander Cage escapes after finding this this huge revelation of this
submarine thing and finding out their plan.
There's an amazing shot.
I think one of the biggest, funniest shots of the entire movie,
and it's definitely intentional, is the main henchman
kind of goes off a ramp
and is flying in midair. He doesn't know that there's a bomb attached to his bike.
Oh yeah, that was awesome.
And he looks like a dumb ass flying through the air
on the bike.
He's like, his face looks like Tim Allen
when he goes like, huh?
Yeah, Yuri's face.
Yeah, and then he just explodes.
And then it flashes back to the main villain
who's screaming his brother's name, Yuri,
as if he saw him explode.
He didn't.
Yeah, and then basically the,
like, Xander Cage returns to the safe house.
He sees the Czech guy there, and the Czech guy turns out to be the guy who ratted him out and
The Czech guy says the line
You're new to the spy business
Which I thought was really funny
Because he's right. This is day two Vin Diesel being a spy
Which is very funny if you think about it
Which is very funny if you think about it. Then Asia Argento comes, kills the Czech guy and says,
I'm actually not a thief. I'm from FSB, which is like the Russian version of the CIA.
I've been infiltrating them for two years. Vin Diesel then says,
Two years, what was your plan?
And she says, I think the most, one of the most honest lines in the movie
There was no plan
They forgot about me
She's like has to live it's just like a woman who goes to clubs with these guys
Yeah, yeah
An FSB agent to be honest. She also says, um, I volunteered for this assignment at which point I wrote in my notes in all caps
What assignment with like six exclamation points?
Yeah, they have a
Drum and bass needle drop nasty style kiss where Asia Argento is going crazy on his mouth
It was kind of violent the way that she ravaged his lips.
Mm-hmm.
Then we get the avalanche scene
in which an obvious stunt double
is snowboarding down a mountain.
The avalanche scene is sick though,
because he- It is.
He parachutes out of a plane,
with the snowboard already attached.
No parachute, no parachute.
No, no, he has a parachute.
At the beginning he has a parachute.
Yeah, and then he lands on the mountain and goes down this huge cliff face
until he comes to a stop and sees the communications array that he's supposed to take out
and all the bad guys, all their goons are on ski mobiles
and they're coming up the mountain to get him. And then he just like tosses two grenades over his shoulder, jumps
off this little cliff, triggers an avalanche and then snowboards down this like cliff face,
snowboards down this mountain with an avalanche chasing him. You know, like obliterating the
bad guys and their communication array. Top Zander Cage moment in my opinion.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
The Avalanche special effects actually look really good.
Because I feel like from a distance, especially the overhead shots where you can see the full scale of the Avalanche.
And I feel like this is where like that early CG like
Looks really good is like rendering something like that, but he he escapes the avalanche by jumping onto a pole That's maybe six feet off the ground and it passes just below his feet
And
Then I can't even remember what happened. I gotta check my notes got the movie just kind of you just lose
I mean, I've watched this movie a hundred times
I was actually rewatching it right before here and you just lose a little bit of interest towards the end the juices parts are
For at the beginning of the movie. Yeah, there's um this we get an amazing moment
Then the the main villain tells
moment then the main villain tells Asia Argento I knew all along that you were a double agent I was just using you like a puppet to my own ends and I in my
notes my notes get very confused at this point a lot of all caps what like
another one the main bad guy tells Vin Diesel, you want to be there to see it?
Sorry, you can't be there to see it.
Like Victor and Colea.
And Vin Diesel looks so mad about this.
And I'm pretty sure there are not any characters in this movie named either Victor or Colea.
Maybe that was a cut plot line of these two characters who are not in the movie
who were like his friends or something. And then we see the deployment of the submarine
and in my notes, again, it says, okay, so it's not a submarine.
Well, I was a little disappointed because the main villain, the leader of Enderkey 99,
is like escaping in a speedboat and Xander Cage just kills him by like shooting him
from a very long distance and then like the speedboat crashes into a wall and blows up.
I would have liked a little bit of a cooler, maybe like mano a mano, one on one death for
the bad guy in this movie. Yes,
I think at this point that people that were making the
movie were like, we just need to wrap up. We need to we have
spent so much money on Tony Hawk.
The guy who plays the bad guy is a Hungarian actor. I recognize
him as a bad guy from the first equalizer movie with Denzel
Washington. Yeah, he's the Russian bad another another Russian bad guy in that movie
But he's Hungarian by cross box. Yeah. No, his last name is Martin and his last name is spelled C
Sokas so in my mind he was Martin Cockass
Yes, it brings to mind the other the classic Vin Diesel character dick be Riddick
Name of what maybe my favorite Vin Diesel movie. Yeah
This is my favorite Vin Diesel movie, but also the Chronicles or Riddick series is worth watching
I mean, I like I like to but pitch black the original one, that's my favorite. I think. Alright so Ben, the hovercraft is flying down this canal towards the center of Prague and
an amazing moment occurs where
the one of the Prague guys is like, sir the hovercraft is flying, nothing can really stop it,
but there's a mentally disabled man in a GTF
And Vin Diesel's like I don't know what we're gonna do, but I gotta get on that thing
He in fact does in a stunt that killed someone in real life
Yeah, one of the stuntmen this movie
Well, I hate this fact it It makes me so sad, but keep going. Yeah, it was parasailing on the back of the hoverboard and just went full speed into the bridge, a bridge in Frog. Oh, no. Yeah, yeah.
Which, you know... And I like that because there's a huge American flag parachute,
like in the movie Frog, that right before this one, you in died yeah and I one of my
maybe my favorite dumb exchange in the movie is right before Vin Diesel does the
stunt where he transfers from the car on to the hover the hovercraft he tells Asia Argento. I wish I wish I had a video camera and
Her her reply is why?
To which he replies cuz I'm about to do something really cool
To
to the to the thing and
to the thing. And so he's on this hovercraft,
which is only called the submarine in the movie.
And the way he defeats it is by turning one of the missiles
upside down to generate, I guess, downward thrust.
And by pulling the car battery that this thing runs on
out of the hovercraft,
and the hovercraft shoots straight down
underwater and you know explodes underwater saving the city.
Norwegian neutralized, Prague saved, NSA vindicated.
NSA vindicated and you know they all think he's dead. Samuel Jackson tells Asia Argento before, you know, before he died
he told me that
I made a deal with him
that you could come
that you could come to America
which is not true
they had the opposite deal
where Samuel Jackson said
we are going to shoot her in the head
once we find her
and also
Asia Argento's character
when she reveals that she's an FSB agent, it makes it clear that she's a patriotic
Russian who wanted to help and do the right thing.
So her reward for that is like, you've always wanted to live in America and now you can't.
Yes, exactly.
Oh my god.
And when we get the reveal that Vin Diesel is alive, it's one of the funniest, I think,
unintentionally funny moments of the movie
because he is like crawling out of the drink.
Yeah, and he is shaking like, quivering like a baby.
And his voice is like, he's like crying and shaking,
basically, when he's like,
you have to send us to Boca now,
or Bora Bora, like, to go on vacation. And it's like, come on, you could to send us to Boca now or Bora Bora like vacation.
And it's like, come on, you could have dubbed that at least to make him sound a little cooler.
I think it's authentic.
Yeah. Yeah. There's a bunch of yeah.
Then it cuts to them in Bora Bora. Gibbons tells him over his incredible early 2000s video
phone with a full keyboard, which I believe is called the Motorola Accenti or something.
He's like, Congrats, you passed the final test. And there's a hilarious flamenco string sting that's like, brrrr, that happens when Vin
Diesel does a little grin after hearing that.
And Samuel Jackson's like, we need you for another job.
And then the end credits animation begins and it's an incredible animation
which features
Pistons from car 3d CGI pistons from car engines
Spinning around like fans, which I don't think is how pistons work in cars. I don't think they
Rotate horizontally
Shows that you know about the American automobile, you bitch.
I guess that's true.
I'm just kidding.
I guess that's true.
And that's the incredible film, Triple X.
I give it a 10 out of 10.
I don't think that even if it has some flaws, I think it's a perfect piece of action 90s
deliciousness.
Seeing it in theaters was, I guess it was 2001 actually,
maybe 2002, but it was delicious to see in theaters
as a child, it was delicious to see now.
It's unlocked my sexuality and my action abilities.
And I would watch it every day.
I have watched it like 40 times.
Yeah, I mean, it's definitely worth a watch. It's so did you see well
First of all, did you triple X part two starring ice cube or and then triple X the return of Xander case
so I have seen triple X state of the Union, which is where ice cube is plucked from
Augustus Givens to protect the president in a
Givens to protect the president and a government coup to kill the president. I have not seen the return of Xander Cage, but I
did watch the trailer for it earlier today. And I said, I'm
gonna download it. I'm gonna watch it. I need to see it. And
also, I just wanted to touch really quickly, that poor stunt
man who did die, they did include the footage of him right up to the moment right before he died in the film.
Really?
Yes.
It was the take before the take where he died that they used.
No, no, no.
Yes.
I'm reading it right now.
That seems somewhat ghoulish in my opinion.
Jacques, I'm sorry, but I think you're wrong.
I don't know if they used the take where he died.
I swear to you, out of respect to the stunt man,
they used his final footage as a testament to what he did.
He sacrificed his life for us to have a good movie.
I also, one more thing I would like to mention is that-
His ghost is angry, you think?
I'm sorry, just a quick question.
Just quick.
No, I don't think,
I think his ghost is doing stunts in heaven.
Okay.
But I do also love that the stunt men wear rubber,
unconvincing, slightly too white, rubber Vin Diesel masks during all the stuntmen wear rubber, unconvincing, slightly too white rubber Vin Diesel masks
during all the stunt scenes where they're doing stunts for him. I really love that.
We don't have Jackie Chan's anymore where they do their own stunts.
No, we do not.
No, we do not.
All we got is that short guy that just wants to hold onto a plane as it takes off.
Yeah. Yeah. Will, do you have any final thoughts about Triple X?
Well, I want to thank Jacques for sharing one of his favorites with me.
I had forgotten about this movie.
I hadn't seen it, like I said, probably God since it was first out.
But it was it was a fun time to revisit that sort of that era of the early
2000s and the extreme sports craze
and Jacques before I go I wanted to give you a or ask you have you about an Asia Argento movie
that I'm wondering if you've seen and if not I'd like to recommend it to you I think I know which
movie it is let me hear it hit me with it have you seen the film boarding gate oh that wasn't what I
was gonna guess no I've never heard of it okay Okay, it stars Aja Argento and the recently departed Michael Madsen.
And it is directed by the French filmmaker Olivier Assayas.
It is a very cool sort of sexy corporate espionage movie.
And if you're a fan of Aja Argento, Jacques, I think you would enjoy
Boarding Gate starring Michael Madsen and Aja Argento directed, I think he would enjoy a boarding gate starring Michael Maddison and Aja Argento directed by Olivier
Assayas.
I'm an absolute fan of that lady except the grooming. She is a
very well I mean she literally grooves the guy that the kid
she in the hardest despicable above all things she has a kid
that she steals back from foster care
She's in the real life. You showed right and then groomed that same kid. She waited till he turned 17. Okay. Okay
Yeah, I mean yeah, that's I thought you were talking about a character. She played in a movie
No, well, no no in the movie
She plays an abusive mom that sexually exploits her child and then she goes on in real life to
groom
That same child actor and she also killed Anthony Bourdain
It's up for discussion, but I can't get into it right now. It's too long, but I believe it's actually Cajuns that murdered Anthony Bourdain.
He was with Anthony Boudin. His last name was too close to Boudin.
No, no, no. Two weeks before he died, he was filming in Louisiana with a prominent, deadly family that I know personally.
What? What?
Wait, Jack, you told me this before. What? What the fuck are you talking about?
So he was deadly family? I gotta go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll talk about this. We'll discuss this on another day.
