Starting point is 00:00:01 Hi, welcome to Smoshmouth. I'm Shane. And I'm Amanda. And we have, wow, such a wonderful guest with us. You guys have not seen him yet on this pod. His name is Ian Hickox. Right. Hello. Hi. I'm happy to be here. Love what you guys are doing. This is your first time on the new set? Yeah. Oh my God. When he first walked in, he didn't know which chair to sit in. Yeah. Can you believe it? He was like, do I host this show? Yeah. You're like the middle of done. I was like, oh, that makes sense. Because like, you know, the hosts and you would put. put the guest in the middle, I guess. Yeah. Yeah, that would be crazy.
Starting point is 00:00:35 You're rocking a fit today. I was going to say, I love the yellow socks. We both got the, we both got the salvage. Yeah, I know. I was looking at our jeans and I was like. Very similar. Oh my God. Where's the same jeans?
Starting point is 00:00:47 I like the yellow socks with the dogs. If you guys are just listening, he's wearing a cool outfit. Thank you. And I also have a smosh shirt on, which is the coolest part of the outfit. That is so cool. Got the classic Smosh tea. Yeah, I'm wearing a smosh bra. It's awesome.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Oh, that's so cool. You know, we actually used to sell. Well, I don't want to say we, but... Back in it was just you and Anthony, you sold smosh bras. Back in the Defy Days, they're on the site. They sold Smosh panties. You guys are sickening. And I did not, I did not condone that.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Condone that. You didn't know what happened. You were just sitting at your desk signing. Approve. Approve. No, that was in the Defy Days. And yeah, there was like smosh panties. And if I recall, there was like a heart above the...
Starting point is 00:01:31 word smosh or something. Was smosh written on the butt or the front? That's a good question. I do not remember. And you guys had nothing to do with the creative of it? It just appeared on the site. I don't remember because I feel like they used to sell like a ton of stuff that was just like slap a label on it and sell it. That's wild that they went past you and did that.
Starting point is 00:01:54 I mean, maybe it was Anthony. I wish I had a pair. We can get you on. Okay. There's nothing stopping us from doing it. I wonder if eBay has one. Probably. That'd be sick.
Starting point is 00:02:06 It says shut up. That's actually really funny. That is funny. It'd be on the butt because I fart. I've never farted in my life. You should get on the fart train. I should get on the fart train. Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Imagine instead of a massage train, it's a fart train. Okay, so what's cool about today? Speaking of farts, what are we talking about today? Okay, Ian, we know how much you love boobies. You always... He said boobies. Well. No, we're not bringing this up.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Hey, you said that you don't bring up booby stuff, but you do bring up booby stuff. When did you guys have this conversation? I never said booby stuff. I said that I've never brought up, I've never brought up the breast milk thing. Oh. And every time somebody's brought up breast milk has been against my will. Okay. And again, another case, another case where I thought you just said boobies and you're like,
Starting point is 00:03:03 Oh, breast milk, Ian, breast milk. It's funny, I didn't actually say breast milk right here. Did you guys hear that? Yeah, but that's when you were inferring. No, no. Because you're like, oh, the booby stuff, it's the booby stuff. What's crazy is I didn't say breast milk and I didn't say boobies. That's what you inferred.
Starting point is 00:03:17 It just keeps happening with you, you know? I can't with you, Amanda. Okay, so anyways, we asked Ian because we know how much he loves movies, movies, and randomly, he'll be like, oh, I watched this movie, you know, from the 1900s. You'll bring up a movie that I've never heard of before in my life. Yeah. Okay. Like what?
Starting point is 00:03:33 Taking Pelham, one, two, three, the original. Yeah. Yeah, that was sick. And then recently you were talking about some, was it an Italian or French film from like the six? With the ship? With the ship? I don't know. Didn't you watch an old movie with the ship?
Starting point is 00:03:46 That's like the Battleship Potemkin. Sorry. Something like that. You watch a lot of like foreign, random foreign films that I never heard of. I think it's, yeah, I think it's important to have a good, because I watch so much media that I think it's good to have a good media diet. For sure. So I like to balance the crap with like something where I feel like, oh, I'm going to like take something away from this.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Wow. That's really smart. See, I'm at a place where I'm like, I don't want to watch crap. Oh. Do you know how some people are like, oh, I watch this thing on Netflix? It was so cheesy, but it was a joy. It was a fun. I can't do that.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Oh, yeah, I love watching bad movies. Like I watched, there was a new Alan Richson. Richson, Richson. Is that how you say his name? Richson, Rich, Rich, Richardson. He's doing what I do. Whatever. It's called War Machine.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Nice. I wanted to watch. Oh, yeah, yeah. I wanted to watch that. Yeah, it's just like military propaganda. I wanted. But with like an alien that just like kills people. It's that big guy from Reacher, right?
Starting point is 00:04:47 Yeah, yeah. He's awesome. Yeah, he seems cool. Beat the shit out of his neighbor. In real life? Yeah, but he deserved it. Yeah, his neighbor was being an asshole. So you guys know his neighbor?
Starting point is 00:04:56 He went all Reacher on him. Yeah. Out of everyone in the world. Reacher sounds like something else. I would you pick a fight with him. He went on the world. It's like. I'm gonna pick a fight with that guy.
Starting point is 00:05:05 The guy who's known for playing a guy on TV who just beats this shit. And he's massive. Yeah. Fun fact, I learned recently that I am in, that I've technically worked with Alan Richardson. I did an episode of Fred the show back in the day, back in like 2013.
Starting point is 00:05:21 And I, and he is in the episode I'm in. It's an episode where Fred Figglehorn... I don't know the show. Oh, you know what's funny? I don't know, Fred. You guys are laughing. This episode of Fred the show that I've done, I think is the funniest episode of television
Starting point is 00:05:39 I've ever been a part of. Wow. I do not know this show. It's legitimately, it's because it ran for like 10 episodes on Nickelodeon and then got canceled. But it got three movies. I think the show might have been after the movies, too. Really?
Starting point is 00:05:51 It's really weird. The show is legitimately good. This is what's crazy. The show is legitimately really funny. Written by Alan Sorke. Aaron Sorkin. I fucked that. You're lying on it.
Starting point is 00:06:01 No, in the episode, Fred, He drinks some expired milk and he starts hallucinating. And this evil, the expired cow shows up in his mirror and is like threatening him. And it's played by Alan Richardson. And I had no idea. He is not a cow. And he's like, I have to fight this cow. And I show up as a chocolate chip cookie who trains him in karate to fight this cow.
Starting point is 00:06:22 And it's legitimately so funny. So, so, so, so. What? So the chocolate chip cookie would dunk into the milk, which is the cow's expired milk. chocolate chip cookie who's training him in karate. Okay, no. There's no connection. It's crazy how I see this so differently. It's legitimately funny because in the scenes with me, I'm in a
Starting point is 00:06:41 giant cookie costume. Uh-huh. And he'll be talking to me, but my over-the-shoulder shots, they just held up a real cookie next to the camera. That's so clever. That's so clever. It's a really funny episode, and it's a really funny show. Why didn't you ever meet the cow?
Starting point is 00:06:57 I wasn't in any scenes with him. How? You're fighting. Oh, no. You're training. I'm not fighting. I'm training. I'm the, I'm the Yoda. Okay, and get this. In the Fred movies, his dad, John Sina. Yes. I am one degree away from John Sina. I don't think John Sina was in that episode. So you're basically like John Sina. No, John Sina's his dad. John Sina's in Fred the show. Did you meet John Sina? No, I just said I didn't meet Fred John Sina. You know what's crazy is I really want this story to end where you meet both of them. So just let me have it. I haven't met either of them, but I have worked. So you
Starting point is 00:07:32 did no scenes with them, but they were in the show. Yes. Wow. Because the show just loved to cast like huge buff guys. Yeah, I was going to say. Is that? They cast me as well. But they put you in a fat-ass cookie.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Hell yeah, and I look good as hell. How do you do karate in a cookie costume? I wasn't doing karate. I was just training him in. Wow, I guess I don't understand. You clearly don't get the highbrow nature of Fred the show. Wow. No, it's legitimately the funniest show.
Starting point is 00:08:00 I would love to see a clip of that. And I, look, I think. think so random and Goldbergs were really funny shows. Fred the show might be the funniest show I ever got to be. So why do you think it got canceled? Just nobody was watching it. That's why it got canceled. Okay. But it was legitimately
Starting point is 00:08:14 funny and I think unfortunately at that point because Fred was like the first big YouTuber. Like first like most... What's his name? The channel was called Fred. What's his full name? Fred Figglehorn's the character. Oh, got it. Okay. The actor who plays him is named Luke's. Do you think that he still does
Starting point is 00:08:30 He doesn't still do Fred? And he does not like to talk about it. He doesn't want to talk about it. Well, because it was such a big sensation back in the day. He doesn't want to talk about it. Well, yeah, because it was just like, oh, that's his past.
Starting point is 00:08:42 He's trying to put it in the past. Because his, he was like a very, like, everyone, like, anyone that wasn't a fan of Fred really hated Fred. Yeah. Because he had this, he pitched up his voice in editing, and he was, like, really hyper. And so just like, anyone that wasn't like
Starting point is 00:08:58 a kid that wasn't a fan of Fred was like, I hate Fred. Fred sucks. So he was one of the first YouTubers to go to the mainstream. Like Nickelodeon was like, we'll give you some movies. We'll do a show. And so people thought the show, it's like, oh, it's Fred the show. It's probably, and I remember at the time, before I worked on it, thinking like, oh, Fred the show. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:09:18 And then I got the script and I was laughing my ass off. And I did it. I was like, this is really funny. And they kind of like, they kind of unpaced his voice for the show. Yeah. It wasn't as intense. The show is very good. Do you think people didn't watch it because they were?
Starting point is 00:09:31 annoyed by his voice. I think they didn't watch it because the connotation of the character already. And I think Fred by that point had already kind of been, like people are getting a little worn out on it. This is like 2012, 2013 and Fred was at his peak in like 2007, 2008. Yeah, probably 2009 maybe. Yeah, so it's just a few
Starting point is 00:09:48 years after. This episode of Smoshmouth is sponsored by Zoc Doc. Amanda, you'd be happy to hear I finally got the things done I was holding off. I got my finances in order, organize my schedule, and most importantly, Oh, did you finally take down the giant at the top of your beanstalk? What I do with my mom's cow and my magic beans is none of your business. I was talking about my health care.

Anyways. We're talking about movies.
Starting point is 00:11:29 So anyways, we're talking about movies. I really appreciated that lore. Why we brought you on, Ian, is because you actually have a letterboxed. I do. And you write movie reviews. Yeah. Are you bringing any movie reviews today of your own? Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:11:44 You were, okay. Secret. Before we started filming, you were typing ferociously on your phone. Well, because I remember, I re-watched Mad Max Fury Road last night. So good. That movie's perfect. So good. I remember seeing that in the theater.
Starting point is 00:11:59 at the vista before it closed down and then reopened. It was epic. That movie is perfect. It's perfect. Truly. It's literally perfect. It's one of my five-star reviews. You know, Tom Hardy barely speaks in that movie, and yet he's so impactful.
Starting point is 00:12:13 He's so good in it. I think he speaks more grunts than actual words. It's incredible. Are you willing for us to go, like, delve into your letterbox today? Of course, yeah. What are your, like, top movies? My top four? Perfect.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Yeah, what are your top four? Or like top for your favorite, but then also what are movies that you think are perfect? Okay. I think those are two different categories. That's a great question. What are movies that you think are perfect? How about that? Because, yeah, there's movies that are your favorites.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Right. And then there's movies that are you think perfect that you think perfect that you like don't ever need to watch. I do think Raiders of the Lost Ark is a perfect movie. Wow. It's also one of my favorites, but I'm like, I think it is structurally as a story and filmmaking, just the way it's shot is just like perfect. I do agree. I think Arrival is like Arrivals. Yeah, Arrival is
Starting point is 00:13:02 one of my favorites. I would say Arrivals close. I don't think there's any movie that's perfect. Sure. But I would say... On a relative scale. I mean, look, I gotta give it to RRR. I don't think it's perfect. Yeah, but that movie rocks.
Starting point is 00:13:18 What's crazy? Definitely not perfect in the way of like, I don't know, female representation. Do you have any reviews from RR that you picked out from you? Because I actually have some. Oh. Selina actually picked out some reviews from RRR.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Okay. So if you don't know what RRR is about, it's a fictional history of two legendary revolutionaries journey away from home before they began fighting for their country in the 1920s. Yeah. And also a lot of dancing and animals. It's not a lot of dancing. Oh, but the dancing.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Yeah, dancing is like a huge part of it for me. Competitive fighting dancing. Oh, yeah, for sure. Some excellent mustaches also. Oh, the mustaches are. And just like some of the worst dialogue for all of the English speakers, which I think makes the movie better because it just adds this layer of comedy that's like kind of unintentional where it's like they come into a scene and then and then
Starting point is 00:14:14 the British people are like, and that's that. Okay, here's a review. The timeline of my experience with RRR, 0 through 20 minutes. Why are people obsessed with this movie? It's so over the top what is even happening. Yeah. 21 through 80 minutes. Okay, I get this.
Starting point is 00:14:29 It's growing on me. This is cool. 81 plus minutes. Fuck yes. Iconic. Hit me with all of it. Another review. Now, excuse me, I have some dance moves to learn.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Yeah. Another one contains the best piggyback ride action sequence in semantic history. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Life will forever be divided into two parts before RR and after RR. This movie was great. Last one, no movie has earned the title card doesn't appear. until 40 minutes into the movie
Starting point is 00:14:59 more than RRRR. Eat Your Heart Out, drive my car. It also appears three times throughout the movie. I love it. It's kind of like, because split into three acts kind of thing. Yeah, I love it. No, that movie's incredible. It is such a fun movie.
Starting point is 00:15:12 It is like a rough first 10 minutes where you're like, what's going on? And then they just busted this lady's head with a stick. Yeah. And you're like, huh? Yeah, that was hard. Also, it was like very intense to watch. You know when you're watching,
Starting point is 00:15:27 like a 3D movie and you're like, what is reality? That's what it felt like when I first started it. You also have to like get used to like the physics and the world where it's just like these people are superhuman. Yes. And you just have to accept that. Yeah. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Okay. So RRR you think is a perfect movie. I don't know if it's a perfect movie, but it's one of my favorite movies. Your top four. Okay. So my top four are. Arrival. City of God.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Yeah. City of God is so good. I haven't watched that. You know what's funny? I watched that movie when I was like 12. Two, really young. And I haven't seen it since, but I remember watching it just be like, this is crazy. But I need to rewatch it now as an adult so I can actually understand what's going on.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Yeah. But my brother showed it to me when I was a kid. He's like, this is one of the best movies ever made. Right. I was just like, oh, this is just scary. I feel like, man, Brazil went through some crazy shit in like the 70s because, you know, City of God is based around that time. so is I'm still here. I'm still here.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Which is like crazy. And then also the secret agent, which came out last year. I need to see it. Is it really good? It's good. It's a little confusing. Yeah. But I think that's kind of the point because I think that time in Brazil was very confusing and weird.
Starting point is 00:16:46 But yeah, City of God is just incredible. I have RR on here. I have they came together. in my top four. That's Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler. Just making fun of rom-coms. It's like the naked gun of rom-coms. I don't know if I saw it.
Starting point is 00:17:06 So it's the same people that made White Hot American Summer. Yep. It's like it's one of those jokes per second movies. Got it. Just non-stop jokes. And then the other one on my top four, Portrait of a Lady on Fire. I just recently watched that again. And the most amazing thing about that movie is every show.
Starting point is 00:17:25 is a painting. The way they light, everything is unbelievable. The way they have a scene where it looks like they're lit from candles, I was sitting there being like, how did they do,
Starting point is 00:17:37 and they're barely speaking in it. I, I feel like you like train dreams. That's on my list. I need to watch train dreams. One of my favorite movies that is not in English is Valver.
Starting point is 00:17:52 It's one of my all-time favorites. Oh, I got that on my list. It's Pedro L'A Moldavert, who's one of my favorite directors. I love him. Broken Embraces is also such a weird, good movie by him. But Valver is one of my absolute favorites. It's like about sisterhood and mother, and it's just gorgeous. I love the way he shoots.
Starting point is 00:18:13 He's also very sexual and sensual the way he shoots. It's a porno. Well, it's Penelope Cruz. Yeah, it's Penelope Cruz. But like everyone in it, it's just... And that movie goes places where you're like, what's happening here? Cool.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Yeah. Amadeus. I've still never seen Amadeus. So good. It's such a commitment because it's 12 hours long. No, it's not that long. It's only...
Starting point is 00:18:35 You can do it? No, it's only 160 minutes. Okay. Do you know what I think is the perfect movie? It's all you think is a perfect movie. The bird cage. So... Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Not the original. I haven't seen the original. The original is like a French movie. Oh, but the Robin Williams? The Robin Williams one is so unbelievable. That's one of the more recent movies I've seen. I'd never watched the bird cage. I didn't
Starting point is 00:18:54 really know what it was about. And then Courtney and I watched it one weekend. And that movie rocks. That movie is so funny. I think I was reading that Nathan Lane wasn't originally supposed to play the role he was in. This might be wrong. But I thought I was reading that it was like, oh, Steve Martin was originally supposed to be in that role. But I can't imagine that movie without Nathan Lane. Nathan Lane is the reason that movie works. And I love that Robin Williams played it the way he did. He played it. It's one of his, honestly, most, like, one of his more, like, downplayed performances. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Like, more along with, like, Goodwill Hunting or something. He's not playing it big. And it works so well. That movie's so good. Goodwill Hunting is also an amazing movie. Yeah. You got good picks, man. You give us your top fours?
Starting point is 00:19:40 I mean, I gave you more than Top Four. Yeah. I have a rival up there. I got Dune Two. Dune two. Do you like Dune two more than Dune? Yeah. Yeah, I like, I think Dune, I think Dune, the first Dune was, like, the pacing was just
Starting point is 00:19:51 kind of slow. Yeah. Yeah, right. Still incredible, but... I am so curious what the next Dune is good. Because do you know anything about Dune lore? Yes. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Sorry, I love Dune. I mean, I... Really? I love Dune. I've read a little bit about it. I'm saying, like, the books. Yeah, about how, like, the timeline is just Duncan Idaho's all the way down. They start cloning him like a million times over or something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:14 No, because they go like... Is that correct? It is. There's a million Dunkin Idaho's. And then there's a worm emperor. like there's a guy who's a worm Yeah I heard that like What's funny is I'm thinking about when I watched
Starting point is 00:20:28 The original which I felt like I was actually Tripping on acid when I watched the original I was like and the worm is so What's his name? The guy who plays Stellan Scars Stelenskarsars Oh you're a Baron Harkening Just all of the creatures
Starting point is 00:20:45 In the original and that movie feels like it's three and a half hours long Yeah I think it is But I just think that it goes to such a weird fucking place. Yeah, because in the books... But I've never read the books. Yeah, so in the books, after Paul Atreides,
Starting point is 00:20:59 there's a... I'm sorry, spoilers, but like, the movies are not going to get to... I don't know. No, because this is like book five. There's a... I think his son becomes like an immortal worm emperor who rules the universe.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Yeah. There's apparently a dominatrix planet. Oh, cool. Dominatrixes who are a thing. And there's just a bunch of weird... Because Paul Atreides is like a false... He's a false prophet. He's a false prophet.
Starting point is 00:21:25 So in the last Dune 2, there you have the Florence Pugh situation. He's like set up to be with her. I don't, I'm trying to remember. Anyways, I need to rewatch Dune 2. Well, if you have, you know, three hours. What Dune 2, what you just said reminded me of, and this is so weird that my brain went here. But just thinking of like the score and the music, Sicario is also such a good movie. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:48 The score of Sicario. Before Taylor Sheridan just started writing. content for Republicans. We're going to come for you if you bring up Taylor Sheridan. Yeah? Yeah? You know what's crazy? I was on vacation and I met this woman whose son is in the new Taylor Sheridan.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Oh, good for him. I don't know much about Taylor Sheridan. I've only seen. Yellowstone. He had a, he writes Yellowstone. No, dude. He created Yellowstone. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:22:11 You will shit. If you look at what this guy is done. Also, he was a cop in sons of anarchy. So he was a cop and sons of anarchy. He was an actor. He wrote, he wrote hell or high water. Yes. Which is incredible.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Such a good movie. He wrote Wind River. Sorry, wrote directed. Such a sad. Which is incredible. It would be so good, though. He did Sicario. He wrote Sicario.
Starting point is 00:22:33 And then he did all the iterations of, yeah. He did 1926, whatever the other. Oh, so then he started making money. And now he did the new show Madison. So he does every, like, he does every, like, he does the shows that everybody's mom is like, have you watched Yellowstone? Yeah, of course. But it's brutal. That's my favorite show.
Starting point is 00:22:52 It's brutal. I feel like he really, like, struck gold with this kind of, like, white man power fantasy kind of thing of like, of like, I want to live out on a ranch. The hierarchy of the older man taken on generation at generation. Yeah, yeah. And he struck gold. So, yeah, he did, like, Yellowstone, 19-Den-Rober. He did really amazing things.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Heller Highwater, Sicario. Wind River. There's a scene in Sicario that plays in my head every now and then, you know the scene. At the dinner table. At the end? At the end? Yeah. With Benicio, Totoro?
Starting point is 00:23:21 I mean, that whole movie's great. It's so good. It's also, you're watching it. I felt like I was Emily Blunt watching it the whole time, just like so out of my element, so fish out of water. Like, I shouldn't be here. That's what I felt like when I was watching it. Yeah, she's like the avatar for that.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Exactly. That's not really her story. No, it's not. Is it Benicio's story? How often do you watch movies? I won't say like every day. But I go. He watches them all the time.
Starting point is 00:23:50 But I've seen... Truly all the time. So far I've seen 53 this year. Wow. I will say my normal is that, but since having a kid, it's really hard to watch a movie. But I'm actually finding my... I've been really into shows, but I'm finding my joy for it. But I was like movie person.
Starting point is 00:24:09 I watched everything that was out. Everything that, like, everyone was talking about, the indie films. It's hard to watch movies right now. But I miss so badly going... going to the movie theaters and, but God, I love movies. I also love international movies. So much.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Yeah. What's your favorite international movie? Well, there. Oh, there you go. What were you writing a review of while you're saying? Oh, yeah. I was right. aggressively typing.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Well, that's, I was writing a new review of my feelings on Mad Max Fury Road. Oh, right. Right. Oh, did you have an old review? My feelings haven't changed. I feel like the, the, some of the VFX have aged.
Starting point is 00:24:50 a little bit. Some of the explosions, some of the, and also the 3D thing where the steering wheel comes out of the screen. That was corny as hell from the get-go. I kind of like that.
Starting point is 00:25:01 I forgot that that movie came out in 3-D. And when Mad Max Fury Road came out, the concept of a dine-in theater was still kind of like novel. And we went to this dine-in theater and we were all watching on 3-D and then that part happens
Starting point is 00:25:17 where like the guitar comes out at the screen. And everyone was just like, ugh. Like, it's just such a, it's such a great movie and it happens like right towards the end and you're like,
Starting point is 00:25:29 I never could do the 3D thing. The only, the only movie that I didn't mind in 3D was the original Avatar for some reason. I will say, dude, dread. Oh, you're talking about it. I would say like on level with like Mad Max, I feel like Dread.
Starting point is 00:25:42 That came out in 3D and that actually had some pretty, some pretty good 3D effects. It was also, Also kind of secretly directed by Alex Garland. Oh. Who did Ex Machina and Civil War. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Exmachna is so good. I finally watched it at one point. Dude, that movie fucking rocks. I have not seen Dread. It's Carl Urban who he's in a mask. He's in a mask the entire time, which I think is like, that's something that movies always, they always like chicken out and have like the star take their helmet off or take their mask off to be like. He stays in it the whole time.
Starting point is 00:26:21 All you see is his mouth. Does he have this, like, thick Australian accent? No. No. Is he New Zealand? I don't know. I don't know what he is, but he, you see his, all you see is his mouth, and he just has this, like, this, like, grimace.
Starting point is 00:26:36 He's so bad ass. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's incredible. He's so good in that movie. Is he done with the boys? Is the boys done? Yeah, it's final season. Thank God.
Starting point is 00:26:45 I loved the boys for the first two seasons. Same. I know. I've been watching it and I was I just don't like all the gore Yeah it for no reason It gets over the top This is my take on the boys this season was
Starting point is 00:27:00 There was an era like Game of Thrones came out And Breaking Bad where it was like new to have things go wrong And for the villains to win It was like whoa, what is this? This is crazy But now watching the boys I've been able to predict every scene Because I go okay this is gonna go wrong All right this plan's gonna fail
Starting point is 00:27:17 All right the worst thing that could possibly happens, it does without fail to the point that I'm actually bored. I'm like, I'm no longer surprised by this. Like, you need to have different things happen. It's funny, like, we got so into that that now when shows have a good thing happened, that's when I'm surprised. Yeah. I'm like, a good thing happened. And I, I like that. Like Paddington. I like. That's a perfect movie. Okay, Paddington, too. I know. Everyone says that. I watched Paddington. and I still have yet to watch Paddington 2. Everyone talks about it.
Starting point is 00:27:53 He goes to prison. Paddington 3 is fine. It's lovely. It's got Olivia Coleman. She's great. Oh, speaking of Olivia Coleman, the favorite is one of my fucking favorite movies. Oh, the Yorgos movie? I loved it.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Yeah, it's good. I loved it. Would I re-watch it? Maybe once more. That's it. I feel like that's most, like, most Yorgos Lantamost movies. You're like, that was good. I don't want to.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Can not rewashed. Yeah, poor things. I also love poor things. Sure. Will not be. Oh, yeah. I have zero inches in rewind. But I was laughing so hard at poor things.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Very darkly funny. I thought Mark Ruffalo's character was one of my favorite characters I've seen in so long. I think when he stopped, there was this interview about him when he stopped doing the Hulk, he felt free. Because I think you're on a really serious contract with, obviously, Marvel. And so he felt free. So I felt like he was just like, I am going to have the most fun. in this wild character. He was, I just, his character made me laugh out loud.
Starting point is 00:28:54 And I don't know, I don't know if it's like doing comedy all the time. I really struggle to laugh out loud in movies, which sounds so sad to me. No, I, I, but that's to surprise me. And I felt like he was joy the whole time. Yeah. And I also feel like, I know that Ted Lassau was really funny because it was joy, but like, I really feel this shift in comedy where instead of like, everything's, this woman's life, everything's going wrong.
Starting point is 00:29:19 and how terrible. I feel this shift of like joy and it can be dark joy, but like this joy. It can be like hysterical joy or excited joy or scary joy. But that's like the way comedy's going right now and I'm really into it.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Yeah, no, because like I think similar with comedy, you know, I remember when like girls came out. And I remember at the time being like, I love this. Roundbreaking. And you know, that was like when like Herbie enthusiasm was on. Like where it's like, oh, these despicable characters. All these people are cringy
Starting point is 00:29:48 and they're hard to watch. And it's funny because these characters are awful. But now, like, I love when I have a character I can root for. Like, it's really fun. And I love the kind of, like, thing you're seeing with a lot of characters, which is the kind of character who's oblivious and naive. And they're so positive and so kind. They're so earnest. And I love that earnesty.
Starting point is 00:30:09 It's what I loved about, like, watching The Birdcage. I was just like, there's a lot of earnesty in it. A lot of the scenes that are really funny is where it's just, like, genuine kindness coming from these characters. And even if they are a villain, my favorite part is even if they are the bad guy that we can't stand, they have this really awesome redemption arc where it's like, oh, you're fighting for something that you believe is right. But we all know it's not right, but you don't know it yet. Until you lose something or somebody that you love kind of points it out. And then you have to go through this journey of like self-redemption.
Starting point is 00:30:43 And that's where I also find joy in that. Totally. Like the show, DTF St. Louis, that we both love, there's all these characters that you're like, villain, villain, are you the villain? And then you're like, oh, oh, you guys are just so in your own bubble. And the best character ever is someone who's not aware of how they're making people feel.
Starting point is 00:31:06 They know they're hurting this person's feelings, but they don't understand why. That's my favorite, is them like figuring that out. This episode of Smoshmouth is sponsored by Rocket Money. I was really struggling to find where I could save within my personal finances. Yeah, when you look at your bank statements and see a list of transactions, it's really hard to understand where you're spending. I started using rocket money because I wanted to see if I could spot any patterns. And guess what?
Starting point is 00:31:29 What? It felt like I was only ordering out for dinner every once in a while, but then I popped it onto my rocket money dashboard and saw I was overspending. It had saved me so much money just by helping me recognize my patterns. Well, sign me up. I would love some extra cash.

Starting point is 00:32:37 I almost, I feel like another like hot take throughout there. Hot take, honey. I almost feel like because so much American shows and just movies for the past, like, decade have been so, like, everyone's awful. Everyone has bad intentions. Everything ends up going wrong. I almost wonder if that sphere allowed for anime to become as mainstream and big, because in anime, like, people are like, we're going to work hard and we succeed. Like, there's a lot of, like, the good guy wins. And there's kind of like, that's like a very, like, typical storyline in a lot of, not all animas, plenty.
Starting point is 00:33:10 and like Death Note has a lot of dark endings. But so many are just have like a, oh, if you work hard and you believe in yourself, we will persevere and win. And that's kind of like refreshing. I think that's also connected to like the, honestly, the Romanticy era that's coming back so hard as people are like romanticcy sci-fi. It's the main story and everything, which is just like, obviously the hero's journey. You know, it's kind of interesting that like romanticies become like so huge,
Starting point is 00:33:40 but there aren't any, like, big, romantic-y movies that have come out. No. I don't think. Is it too sexy? Well, they're trying. It's hard. They're trying. Well, Michael B. Jordan bought fourth-wing the series, which was, like,
Starting point is 00:33:53 interesting. Such an, such an, I have a lot of thoughts on that series. But he bought that series to make, I think it's really hard to make them into visual. But like the Sarah J. Mass, like, books. She took it back. So she, all of her rights were sold to Hulu, and then she just took a, all of her rights back. Because like, I guess it's probably too horny because at that point it would be like,
Starting point is 00:34:15 it would be like softcore porn. I think it's visual. I genuinely think the author and the person are colliding on who is going to be cast. Because in these books, they're godlike, beautiful creatures. No one on earth looks like that. What do you think? Nobody's hot enough. Nobody's hot.
Starting point is 00:34:35 But also, yes. I do think there's some that. I think they're probably hard to translate. over to movie and TV show. They could get cringy, cheesy, real-factory. Yeah, like some things, truly, just the medium that they're made in is where they work best, right?
Starting point is 00:34:50 And I think also with books, like Romantasy, it's where people really want to place themselves in it. And when a movie, you literally can't do that. You're watching it. So funny. I don't ever... I asked myself this the other day when I'm reading those. I never put myself in their shoes.
Starting point is 00:35:04 It's always like I'm watching them from afar, like a little creep. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You know what's weird? When I'm reading, I'm a huge permit. I'm in the room. I'm in the corner, just like, yes.
Starting point is 00:35:17 I have this feeling that, like, pretty much every sex scene in a movie is, like, not erotic at all. I don't think that it's erotic at all when they're shooting it. But, I mean, like, the final, the final product. You're saying, like, as a viewer is watching it and I see a sex scene, I'm like, it never, like, I feel like it never achieves. like what it's trying to achieve. Really? Except. Those aren't good sex scene.
Starting point is 00:35:44 There's only one sex scene that you think is, does the job. Yeah. What is it? All right. You ever seen the, you're not going to guess. This setup is, I can't even handle this. Have you ever seen the, the, who else is in it? The, if you don't.
Starting point is 00:36:05 Jude Law. Get to it. a World War II sniper movie Enemy at the Gate I've never seen Enemy at the Gate With what's her name? Rachel Weiss
Starting point is 00:36:16 Oh So many people in the room are like Yes And they're like Yeah Enemy at the Gates Also that scene is so hot Also I'm sorry
Starting point is 00:36:25 Cold Mountain It's such a sad Long movie But Jude Law and Cold Mountain And Nicole Kidman's relationship Is very Maybe it's just Jude Law But there's something like
Starting point is 00:36:36 I think I think because like... Enemy at the gates is very good. Because like I feel like with sex scenes and movies, they're always like, oh yeah, we're going to like show some tities or whatever. No. In Enemy at the Gates, they don't show anything. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:50 They're laying next to each other. Aren't they in like a camp with a bunch of people? Yeah, they're like... Yeah. There's like a bunch of people sleeping next to them. And they're like getting busy under the sheets. And it's very erotic. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Yeah. Okay. I agree with you. I think it's the intention behind it, the scene. I think some... Some movies go way too hard and you're like, oh, those are two actors who worked out really, really hard for this scene. And, you know, they stopped and go and they don't have a lot of chemistry. And it's just awkward and like...
Starting point is 00:37:18 I do think there are some sexier, there are some sexier scenes that I will have to ruminate on the rest of this episode. I can't quite think of them. But I will say, Rachel, her, she is, like, sexy as hell. I don't think that's her last name. Vice? Yeah. Rachel Weiss? Rachel Weiss?
Starting point is 00:37:37 Oh, with a W. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that scene's pretty hot. Anyway, I don't know about there, but... No, that's good. So, do we want to read some of your letterbox reviews?
Starting point is 00:37:52 I also have a game I want to play. I don't have good. I have good ones. You do serious ones. Well, because I feel like, I feel like the... I don't want to be that annoying person on letterbox that just makes, like, one sentence jokes all the time. Okay. Like, occasionally I'll do like a joke, but then I also think like being earnest about my love or hate for a movie is, is good.
Starting point is 00:38:15 I think it's, I think it's good to provide an actual, like, opinion and feeling on, on things. Also, Phantom Thread. I know a lot, not a lot of people loved that movie, but I loved that movie. You're crazy. I do have some letterbox reviews, too. But, Shane, you have something? You said you have a game. Well, I was going to pick the, you know.

That's great. Done. Let's do it. Love it. I'm going to pick a random movie and it's a movie that you guys definitely both know. It's going to be like, how did that mouse learn how to drive that car?
Starting point is 00:38:53 Sure. That's Stuart Little. You know what, Shane, I have to say something. You're really good at games. You should like create a game. I'm sorry. I'm being real right now. I created a game.
Starting point is 00:39:03 It's called sniper chess. No, I'm just kidding. No, but like, you're really, really good at, like, I'm like, oh, that's such a good idea that I would never think of. Wow. You're so welcome. We also used to do a show similar to this called Netflix and Chill. Don't tell me that. Just let me sit in that.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Where we would read reviews of Netflix movies, and if you guessed it wrong, you'd have ice poured down your pants. Yep. This is back when you used to. I'm wearing a dress, so try it. It would go up then. Oh, my God. All right. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:39:33 Here's the first review of this movie. Very popular, very well-known movie. Sayoban gave it four stars, said... It's probably Chavon, but that's okay. Yeah, probably Chavon. Chavon? It's okay. Hey, hey, hey, I'm sorry.

Starting point is 00:48:25 said, I would drive one of the spiky cars. Okay, so it's Mad Max. Fury Road. It's Mad Max Fury Road. So they didn't mean to moan about... They're just like, it's hot. It's a hot movie. I don't agree with that.

Starting point is 00:49:25 Oh, wait, someone said Andrea gave it three stars and all captions. If you say something about breakfast again. No, they just said that fucking victorious episode with crying emojis. Victorious episode? Yeah, you guys are probably not getting help of that. Oh, no. Oh, God. Didn't even eat breakfast.
Starting point is 00:49:43 Is this a popular? James wrote two stars. I can't believe I watched victorious version before this. What are you saying? Oh, is it Schindler's List? No, what? That, you're crazy. Wait, is this a popular movie?
Starting point is 00:49:59 It's a very famous movie. Incredibly famous movie. Princess Bride. It's not Princess Bride. Stop. Stop. Keep going. Andy gave it five stars, said

Starting point is 00:50:28 What? Lemonade Mouth. The connection between this movie and just fucking Disney and Nickelodeon. How is this? Victorious. Bender? We're so lost.
Starting point is 00:50:38 All he gave it four-down stars said the victorious parody of this is better. Okay, okay. Is it Roshaman? Let's, we're going to move away from Victoria.

Starting point is 00:51:20 You're getting close. They're getting very close. They definitely did not become friends. A breakfast club. It is breakfast club. They didn't even eat breakfast. Victorious did an episode, a parody episode of. That makes sense.

Starting point is 00:56:13 New movie? No one questioned why this. Kid is running the town dry of tinned soup. Like, here comes soup, boy. Three stars by Jay. What? Oh, shoot. I may not have seen this.
Starting point is 00:56:26 Have I seen this movie? Yes. I have. Yes. Oh, God. Okay, kids getting outside. Three and a half stars by coffee. You can tell this is made by a former sketch comedian because it's almost entirely set up for one really good bit.
Starting point is 00:56:42 It's weapons. Oh. Yes. Nice. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was just one that I wanted, that I wanted to do. No, that's good.
Starting point is 00:56:50 That's good. Wait, can I read you guys one that Caroline, Caroline, who's our lovely PA, wrote. Oh, this is a review. Wait, okay. Okay, so Caroline, our PA wrote this review. Yes, she gave this movie five stars, loved it. Being better than the men around you, rocking a bob and having a horse. Like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:11 Having a bob. Be better than the men around you. So who has a bob? who's on a horse with a bob? Okay, okay, I'm trying to think of movies. It's not, it makes you think of like mirror mirror, like princess diaries. Is this like a popular one? She doesn't have a bob on a horse.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Is it a new movie or? Bring a bob on a horse. No, I wouldn't say this is a new movie. Okay. Oh, well, you know who has a bob on a horse? Who? Lord Farquod. Shrek?
Starting point is 00:57:43 No, but that's funny. It says being better. than all the men around you. I don't think Lord Farquod, remember when I had his haircut and you kept telling me that I had his haircut? No, I said you had the haircut
Starting point is 00:57:53 of a 13th century crusader. And then I did the Berries and Cream commercial. Yeah, I did get you. And I put a wig on and it looked exactly like my hair. I don't think I know, okay. I think a bob on a horse. Wait, is it Wuthering Heights? No.
Starting point is 00:58:11 She does not have a boath. You're crazy. He has a bob. Andrew gave it four and a half stars and says, I love in movies when men are stupid idiots and girls save the day. Wait, did Caroline also? Okay, so she wrote a second review. Caroline wrote all the reviews with her.
Starting point is 00:58:27 Caroline really needed to get her thoughts out. Appeals to every little girl's dream and desires, duplicity, deception, and being exceedingly better than their male peers and having a kill count. Oh, shit. She's a murderer. Do you think, Caroline, do you think I've seen this movie? You guys have all seen this movie?

Starting point is 00:59:50 Yeah, it's okay. Ian, come on. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, this happened to a couple of my friends a few years ago. Okay, people leave that on every single thing. Okay, here's the one. Weasel, my beloved.
Starting point is 01:00:00 That's not going to actually help us in any capacity. Not going to lie, getting choked to death by Margot Robbie seems fun. I feel like that could be multiple. Marco Robbie movies. Wolf of Wall Street? Nope There was no children killed in that movie
Starting point is 01:00:17 Wuthering Heights This person said I don't care I'm just gonna say it King Shark is a King Shark is a hembo Oh this is Suicide Squad

Starting point is 01:01:00 Is it the exorcist? Nope. Oh, okay. Look me dead in the eyes and tell me James Wan isn't into puppets a little too much. Two and a half stars by Jay. James Wan.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Is that a director? Yes Four and a half stars By Vye Thought My House was haunted Because the TV kept turning off Turns out I was sitting on the remote Is that if you have anything to do with the movie?
Starting point is 01:01:27 Thought my house was haunted Because the TV kept shutting off Turns out I was sitting on the remote It's not even Does that play a part of the movie? Annabel you're getting close Okay conjuring Yes
Starting point is 01:01:38 Oh And Annabelle is in it Here's what I wanted to read to you because you are a sicko and do this. Five stars by Reese, one of the little girls slept without the blanket covering her feet and was shocked when a demon
Starting point is 01:01:50 grabbed her question mark. You always sleep with your leg out. Dude, you're gonna get snatched. Shane, you're gonna get snatched. I know, I believe that. That's the conjuring. I think such a good horror movie. So dark.
Starting point is 01:02:01 This game is fun. I don't know, but I don't know if y'all have seen this, but it's a new movie. It came out in 2025. Probably haven't. I said my review was the Major sure loves to talk about nutsacks
Starting point is 01:02:13 What are you doing? Sorry, when did you say this movie came out? 2025. The Major sure likes to talk about nutsacks. Is it the new Avatar movie? No. Oh, that's a good guess. They don't even have nutsacks, do they?
Starting point is 01:02:30 I'll give you no one. I think these ones are going to be fun. Is this the same movie? Yes. Okay. All right. I got another one. Okay, so I'd be the guy.
Starting point is 01:02:40 I'd be the I don't know what it's made me laugh I'd be the guy dying sorry I'd be the guy dying because he's sorry there's nothing that has made Ian laugh this hard
Starting point is 01:02:57 dude I've never seen you like this I got you I'd be the guy dying because he has to shit that's what's making you laugh so hard dude I feel characters of the lower
Starting point is 01:03:13 It feels like Jurassic Park. No. I've never seen a guy... Because that happens to Jurassic Park. A guy dies because he has to shit. Yeah, I remember. Well, he's on the toilet because he's hiding. He's scared.
Starting point is 01:03:21 He's hiding. Yeah, but he kind of dies because he has to shit. What's happening here? I don't know. Here's another review. Yowie's so doomed, they kept calling each other brothers. We've definitely not seen this movie. I'd honestly sign up just to make a friend like Pete.
Starting point is 01:03:41 Therevana, the band, the show the movie? This one should get. give it away. Thought it was about walking. Then came the poop. Is this the long walk? Yes. I haven't seen the long walk.
Starting point is 01:03:51 I haven't even heard of it. Oh, that makes sense that someone dies because they have to shit. Yeah. Well, you know what's funny? Because shitting is hard when you have to keep walking. I know the premise of the movie is that they have to keep walking and if you stop walking and get killed. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:04 But like, marathon runners shit themselves and keep running all the time. Why would anyone want to watch this movie? Well, it's a Stephen King book turned into a. It's really, it's really good. But yeah, there's a couple people where shitting is like, it's a problem. I think it's funny that in the same year,
Starting point is 01:04:23 two Stephen King books got turned into movies The Running Man and the Long Walk. Oh. Is that really funny? It was okay. I saw it. Okay. I watched it. One day. Just at home. It's fine. Oh, Ian, did you notice? We have a table.
Starting point is 01:04:46 You know what's funny? Because I know people were asking, for a table. Oh yeah. They were? Oh yeah. There's no way. I didn't even hear about that. Yeah, I don't know. I don't check. Did you? No, I didn't know that. Wait, I got one more from Caroline. Okay, Caroline has a good interview. Okay, Caroline's gonna close this out here. Five stars loved it. Irish boy wants to be in the center of a dance circle so bad he makes it a whole thing. I had two slushies, half bag of popcorn and half bag of gummy worms, yum, yum, yum, yum. Titanic. That makes sense. That makes sense. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:05:19 He's not Irish, though. Irish boy. No, he's not Irish. But there were Irish people. Oh, yeah. Remember the Irish friends who got killed? That was really sad. The center of a dance circle so bad.
Starting point is 01:05:31 Belfast. Is it, is it, I hate that I keep bringing up. Boop. Emerald Fennell movies, but. Saltburn? Saltburn? I don't know. Is it Saltburn?
Starting point is 01:05:44 How recent is this movie? It's a new movie. It came out in 2025. Oh, shit. Irish boy. I may not have seen it. I swear. Are there other reviews for this movie?
Starting point is 01:05:52 Mac gave it four and a half stars. Standing ovulation. I mean, ovation. Whoa. Joe A. gave it four and a half stars. That one sequence, you'll know when you see it. Magnum opus type scene, spirit awakening type scene, inspirational, inspirational. Centers?
Starting point is 01:06:08 Yes. Oh. The Irish boy. Oh. Yep. So what about the two slushies? Damn. That was just Caroline.
Starting point is 01:06:18 You were doing work. My God, brain freeze. The concession stand was like, are you going to watch the movie? Jesus, you keep coming back here. I'm back for another slushy. Hit me, man. Come on. Hit me. Sinners is rocking me.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Can we talk about some of our lowest rated movies? I want to know what some of your lowest rated movies. Okay, so I got, I got, this one's an all-timer, Wonder Woman 1984. That movie's pretty rough. I need the stone! Wow, did it in voice. Was that your review for it? No, I didn't leave a review.
Starting point is 01:06:48 Don't worry, darling. Rarely has there been a gap so enormous between how smart a movie thinks it is and how smart it actually is. Oh, that's not my review. Very style's performance on I Carly was much better in my opinion. Oh, dude, it is like the best way to describe that movie, and I'm, this is not my original thought. This is somebody else's thought was like a white woman's attempt at making a Jordan Peel movie. Oh, that is brilliant.
Starting point is 01:07:15 And it felt like a student film that had like a 200 million. million dollar budget. Whoa. There was so much drama surrounding it because she, apparently Olivia Wilde was dating Harry Stiles during the shooting and that's where at all. I don't care about that. Well, the Truman Show, but Harry Styles violently eats pussy.
Starting point is 01:07:32 Oh, there was a, yeah, there was that scene. Listen, I think Harry Styles is cute. I don't ever want to see him do that. Sorry. I don't know what it is. I don't like it. That's fair.
Starting point is 01:07:42 I've got another one on here. Tiptoes. Have you guys ever seen tiptoes? I am very aware of tiptoe. Isn't that Gary Oldman? It's Gary Oldman. It is. Gary Oldman playing a little person.
Starting point is 01:07:53 It is a. They just have shuffling around on his knees. And when he's sitting in a couch, they have, he has a little like puppet legs. No, I saw. And he's like, he's clearly like in the couch. And this is a serious movie. This is not a comedy. Is it Matthew McConaughey?
Starting point is 01:08:10 It's Matthew McConaughey. It's Matthew McConaughey and Gary Oldman are brothers. I think they're twin brothers. I think they're two brothers. I think they're maybe twins. I forget, they're brothers. So Maggie McConaughey. Joel McHale make fun of this movie
Starting point is 01:08:22 all the time on the soup or something. I don't know. His brother is supposed to be a little person, but it's played by Gary Oldman on his knees. And it's like an Oscar Bate movie. Like they were really trying. Well, Gary Oldman's a great actor. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:36 Not, yeah. But speaking of another like total train wreck Oscar Bate movie music. I don't even know if I've heard about this movie. Wait, is that Cia's movie? Yeah. Cia's movie where she like. Okay, speaking of dance moms, which we weren't speaking of, but I'm thinking about dance moms for some reason, which I'll explain later. One of the lead in dance moms is the lead in music.
Starting point is 01:08:59 And she plays someone, she just, it's not the right casting. Sure, sure. Okay, but I do have a lot of review that I think you guys are going to get. Four stars, Jiba? Tony Collette deserves a normal family. Hereditary. Sixthence. Six cents.
Starting point is 01:09:18 We nailed two different ones. Yeah, she, boy, she loves to play moms that are haunted. One of my favorite movies. Sixth Sense is incredible. Of all time. And then I told you that I didn't realize the little boy's name is Cole. And I've loved the name Cole forever. That's my son's name.
Starting point is 01:09:36 Boy. Should I ask him if he sees dead people? And he's just like, bah. Huh? He just. No, that's his thing. Now he goes, huh? Huh?
Starting point is 01:09:47 Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? I think we're out of time. I think we're out of time. Oh, okay. Wow.
