It's Josh and Jilly on Tuesday night, fresh off of movie and Mexican night. Sans the Mexican. Edition. Italian. Not really Italian. Pizza. Solid pizza pizza Pretty good It was coal fired pizza

I am upset I mean it was very good But I do feel a little empty without the Mexican food Sorry your stomach can't handle it Look That's very fair And the problem is There's nothing that I can get in a Mexican restaurant

That isn't going to destroy my stomach Because I'm not going to get something that's all you know uh lame tasting so i get spicy shit and then it and it messes with my innards and then my bowels run like water and i don't know what to tell you so tonight i wanted to change it up i wanted something different so it was movie and pizza the pizza was pretty good like i thought it was the honest to god it might be the best goddamn pizza we've had here it was really good it was like a coal fire thing crispy cup pepperoni's the best yeah so like i'm not gonna sit here and tell you that i'm sorry that it happened i'm glad it happened hopefully we'll get out of this hellhole at some point get to a place where you know they have

decent pizza somewhere and it's not pizza with this nasty ass processed cheese on it we can get some actual goddamn pizza somewhere. Once we get the hell out of Dodge, I mean, no matter what happens here in the next handful of months, we're getting the hell out of Dodge. Whether I have a job somewhere or whether we're moving in with dad

or whether we're moving to Houston and living in an apartment out in the ghetto somewhere, I don't know. But we're certainly getting the hell out of Dodge. It's just a matter of where and if I have a job because we have a lease here until the end of March, and I get severance until March. So anyway, none of that really matters here.

Movie and Mexican night. It keeps the branding. It's kind of like when Monday Night Football, but the Monday Night Football broadcasters do a Thursday night game, and they still call it Monday Night Football, or it's a playoff game, but they still call it Monday Night Football football or like it's a playoff game but they still call it Monday night football even though it happens on Saturday movie in Mexican night is the brand and the brand continued tonight uh we went to see uh some movie with Jesse Eisenberg and uh Macaulay Culkin's brother was that's that's Fuller right was that Fuller go

easy on the Pepsi is that the Culkin brother that was I have no idea you know what I'm talking about though right from Home Alone where it's like hey Fuller go eat Fuller I right? Was that Fuller go easy on the Pepsi? Is that the Culkin brother that was? I have no idea. You know what I'm talking about, though, right? From Home Alone, where it's like, hey, Fuller go easy. Fuller, I didn't know that was his brother. Oh, yeah, that was one of the Culkins. That was either, there's Macaulay Culkin, there's Kieran Culkin, and then there's Rory. Is there a Rory Culkin, too? So I believe that the one that we saw tonight, that's Kieran Culkin.

I believe he's fuller go easy on the pepsi i think it's who he is he didn't want to hang out with fuller because fuller what's the bed like that little shit well i think that's who this was and what the hell was this movie called i think a real pain a real pain that's what it was called a real pain nice little movie you know like you know a little kind of indie type of movie, two dudes on like, you know, some sort of soul searching adventure in Europe or Poland. They were in Poland because they wanted to go see, you know, the homeland of their grandma who had just died. The movie was fine. Like it wasn't, you know, like the greatest movie I've ever seen. We've seen worse movies on a movie in Mexican

night. So I didn't think, I didn't think it was bad. It was watchable. It wasn't overly sappy and annoying or anything like that. So it was fine. I enjoyed it. But here's what we've learned in going to Movie in Mexican Night. And I don't know, how many nights have we done Movie in Mexican Night? At least five, six? Probably more, yeah.

So, I mean, we've seen Beetlejuice on Movie in Mexican Night. We saw this on Movie in Mexican Night. We saw Saturday Night on Movie in Mexican Night. What did we see last week? We saw this on Movie in Mexican Night. We saw Saturday Night on Movie in Mexican Night. What did we see last week? It was some movie you really liked, but now I don't remember. Either way, we've at least gone, at least two months worth of Movie in Mexican Night. I think Movie in Mexican Night started whenever I had a job still.

No, I think it was after. Either way. Right after. It was close. So Movie in Mexican Night is now a tradition in the house that it probably won't carry on to the next place unless the next place has cheap movies on Tuesday, which a lot of them do. So I don't know. But we've seen a good number of movies.

And this is certainly not the worst of Movie and Mexican Night. The Joker was the worst of the Movie and Mexican Night movies. There was another one we left and we were like, holy shit, that was garbage too. The first one we did was Deadpool and Wolverine. Okay, so that would have been when I was still on the air. It was. It was August 27th. You most definitely were not.

That's when we went to see that? Oh, you know what it was? Me and Scott talked about that movie on the air and he went to see it when it opened. We went to see it after I had gotten whacked. Okay. Yeah, then Beetlejuice, Beet beetlejuice beetlejuice yeah killer's game killer's game was the one with batista right now that was that i'd argue this is gonna be a bold take here killer's game may have been the

best movie we've seen on movie in mexican night uh then uh my old ass that was fine that's already free on amazon prime by the way. Joker 2. Joker was easily the worst of the movie in Mexican night movies. Saturday Night. Saturday Night. Somehow, everything was in the trailer for this movie. It was fine. I'm not telling you it was awful.

It was passable. It wasn't nearly as good as the trailer would indicate. Speaking of movies that are kind of in that same vein, this movie that's coming out at the end of the month, or I guess next week, this is the end of the month. What day is it? I lose track. But a movie about the hostage situation at the Olympics in 1972 from the vantage point of the people that are doing the broadcast and shit, this movie's going to be excellent and I can't wait for it. I had not heard of it until tonight when I saw the trailer for it.

So I'm excited. This is going to kick ass. What other movie in Mexican Nights were there? There was Goodrich. Oh, Goodrich with Michael Keaton. That was one of my favorites of it too. A little sentimental, a little kind of hokey at the end, but I enjoyed it thoroughly and I might have teared up a little bit

during that movie and I love Michael Keaton. Heretic? Heretic was another good movie in Mexican night movie. Look, we don't see shit on movie in Mexican night for the most part. We see bangers. So we've seen nine. We have seen nine movie in Mexican night movies all since I got whacked. So almost every Tuesday has been occupied by a movie in Mexican night.

And tonight, movie in Mexican night was called A Real Pain. And again, it was fine. It was passable. It was one of those movies where, like, I like movies like this, where it's kind of just like, not a lot of people in it, not a lot of characters, not like in your face slapstick humor shit but it was just kind of it was passable nothing about it made me go oh wow this is certain this is so deep and amazing it was fine um and that's it's that's really like that like you know two stars I don't know if you gave it up if we're Roger Ebert and there's four possible stars two and a half I don't know two stars like I wasn't highly entertained by it but I was you know like I it was pleasant like I there was only an hour and a half so it knew what it was it didn't

keep dragging it on it never got too emotional it was fun yeah it was just a cute little movie and it was fine had its funny moments yeah but none of it was like in your face like hey here's a fart joke or something it was just fine it was a fine little picture and I enjoyed it and uh again it wasn't something that I would say highly recommend or anything like that but it was fine I hate that one of the positives is we didn't see the same goddamn trailers today in this one at least so usually when we go to the movies on movie in Mexican night we see the trailer for this y2K Jonah Hill movie, which we both predict every good scene is already in the trailer, so that's going to suck. Actually, you know what movie looks interesting?

Is the one with Robert Pattinson where he dies, like they kill him like 17 times or whatever. I think that looks like a pretty solid movie too. It looks kind of funny, kind of different, kind of wacky. No, no, the more I see the trailer, the more uninterested I am. Really? Yeah. I don't know.

I'm going to give it a shot. I mean, look, movie in Mexican night, you know? I mean, what are you going to do? I'm just glad that this Munich movie is coming out, like, next week. Like, I love when a movie like that looks good, and then you see the trailer, and it's, like, four months from now. You're like, no, that's, like, next fucking week. That movie fucking week that movie's gonna fuck he's gonna find a theater that's gonna show it that's the other hard part some of these movies that you don't see advertised anymore

like the theaters just don't show them yeah so we'll see now as is usually the case when we uh see a uh emotion picture actually here's what i'm gonna do i'm gonna play a couple crappy and wicked is coming out this weekend too too. Look, okay. You used to be excited for it. We'll get into Wicked and something else that happened at the theater. But first, I'm going to play some commercials. I have no idea what they're going to be. I don't place them.

They just air and let the chips fall where they may. And then we'll talk about my uninterest or my disinterest in Wicked and the shit that happened at the theater tonight. Which may have been the worst of all the situations we've had at the movies so far. We'll do that after these words from whoever the fuck this is.

So first of all, let, start with Wicked. I was excited about Wicked because I like musicals. I like, you know, I like Ariana Grande. A lot of people think Ariana Grande's sick, by the way. Like, she looks sickly, and, like, there's speculation that she's sick or has some sort of eating disorder. She says she's fine. Like, she looks gaunt.

She does. Like, she looks sickunt. She does. Like, she looks sick. To be fair to her, and I hate her, and I've said I'm not seeing this movie forever because I can't stand the, oh, a Mariana Grimes. Like, why do you talk like that? I thought that was your character on the goddamn Sam and Cat show, but no, that's just how you talk in every role. Who was that dude? Was it Big Sean

that used to plow her? Yeah, and then she got mad because he talked about her, rapped about her sex life. Bitch, all you do is talk about your sex life and sing about your sex life calm down yeah like walking side to side you know why she was walking side to side because big sean ravaged that pussy anyway uh anyway so i had no interest in the movie because of ariana grande but once she dyed her hair blonde for this role and she played it on Broadway, too, that's when she really started looking like uncomfortably skinny. Yeah. And she's very skinny and very pale. Now, granted, part of that is that's kind of what the I guess what a pleasant witch would look like.

She would be playing the good witch of the north, I guess. And then the black gal is playing the wicked witch who isn't wicked initially, by the way. Can we talk about how wicked is two hours and 40 minutes? Yeah, well, that's another reason to not see it. Your sister, she just texted me. Emily said she's taking Tripp this weekend. She's going to see Wicked? Yeah.

What else would it be like? I'm taking Tripp to see A Real Pain. Maybe Moana 2. That's out too. You know what I'm looking for that I still want to see is real pain. Maybe Moana 2. That's out too. You know what I'm looking for that I still want to see is the robot movie, the wild robot. I think that looks kind of cute too. It looks like it could be an emotional film. But my reason I'm turned off by Wicked.

And I was excited for it. And the song that's in the trailer, I like it. And she's like, oh, it's the fucking witch witch it's the wizard that should be afraid of me and i'm like fuck yeah fuck the goddamn wizard let's fucking go and i'm into it and then like i hear that this dumb woman uh was offended by some fan-made uh poster for the movie that she said was offensive because it covered half her face which by the way in in the original Wicked poster for the Broadway show covers half the witch's face. But this woman got so offended by it, started ripping these people that made the fan posters. And now I hope this movie is a fucking dud. It's weird how I am.

This is how I am. This is how I act. I get really annoyed by certain things. And once I've gotten annoyed by something, it takes one thing for me to be turned off by you or your movie and in this case it's this one little dumb thing like now I want you to fail because of how stupid you are because of the fact that you were so offended by something someone was doing as a compliment to you because they're a fan and they want to see it successful like that you are such a dumb asshole that you feel the need to rip these people and make some big statement about how it's offensive and racist. And like, once people start calling shit, that's not racist, racist, I start rooting against you. If something's legitimately racist. And I'm like, I get that totally right. Like I'm on your side. I'm not going to turn on you. But once you start calling

shit that isn't racist, racist, then I'm like, all right, you're fucking annoying and I hope your stupid fucking movie fails. Thus, I hope Wicked fails miserably. And it feels like it will. A, it's a two hour and 40 minute musical. Two hour and 50 minute musical. B, it's not gotten much good press from this because of dumb things like what this lady that's playing the witch does. It's overexposed with the commercials and the Target. And that's my line.

Like, I hope this movie's a giant fucking bomb. And she did this. Like, when people annoy me, I root for their failures. And I'm rooting for this woman's failures. So we do not have to see Wicked. I'm not interested in it. I don't care about the origin story about how this witch became an asshole. and I'm rooting for this woman's failure. So we do not have to see Wicked. I'm not interested in it. I don't care about the origin story about how this witch became an asshole.

I don't care. And by the way, I feel like the whole goddamn story's told in the trailer anyway, because people tell too many, too much of the story in the trailers. I mean, like the whole goddamn movie's in the trailer. 100% agree.

Like everything advances. Like even like you see like, okay, here's how it starts. Oh, and then they go here, and then they do this, and then this. The trailers, they got to stop. Here's what you should do. I can tell if I want to see a movie within five seconds of something.

If you tell me origin story, Wicked Witch, how did she become an asshole? I'm like, okay, I'm in. I don't need to see four minutes of the fucking movie in the trailer. And in order of events. It all happens in order it just tells the whole story it's like back when um like if you've ever watched the hitchcock trailer for psycho he literally just tells you the whole fucking movie while standing at the bates motel it's like a seven minute trailer there's no scenes from the movie it's

just alfred hitchcock explaining the plot of the movie and basically how it goes. And I'm like, we don't need this shit. I know. I can tell by the people who are in a movie if I want to see the movie. If you say, here's Michael Keaton and such and such, and it's a movie about fathers and sons and blah, blah, blah. I'm like, okay, I want to see it. I like Michael Keaton. But I don't need a full-on fucking breakdown of the movie and all the scenes.

And we've been burned too many times by these things where the movies end up, you know, showing every scene for the movie. So it's lame. In the Y2K trailer, all I had to see was

doofy kids at a party, shit goes down at midnight. Yeah. Y2K is real. Like there's, that line is in the trailer. They go, oh shit, Y2K is real and then shit goes

ham and I'm like that's all I need to know and let's get stupid. Instead of advance is like three scenes in so we already know they get in the woods we already know they're doing that like it's so stupid. We already know that this little remote control car robot the thing like sets a dude on fire like we know all this shit cut the shit cut the make trailers 30 seconds it's sort of like how i feel about burger restaurants right like if you sell burgers like hi i'm burger restaurant this is what i do i don't need some fancy fucking name for your burger restaurant just call it burger restaurant eight and i know you sell hamburgers and that's all i fucking need from you what I don't

need is a full-on breakdown of the goddamn movie every scene scene by scene in order beginning middle and end it's stupid and it's fucking shit up that said other things that fuck shit up the people at the movies particularly the people at the movies in St. Louis Missouri where both you and I as we walked out of the today, we looked at each other and we were like, you know what? I think St. Louis people at the movies are truly the worst movie goers on the planet. We've shared stories with you already on the pod from Mexican and Movie Night. Like during Beetlejuice, I think it was. It was Beetlejuice where the person in front of us was on their phone.

No, actually, it might have been the Batista movie. No, it's happened multiple times. Correct, but there was one where the woman was literally on her phone from the beginning of the movie till the end of the movie. Yes, there was one where a guy next to me was on his phone from the beginning of the movie to the end of the movie. I think that might have been the Joker. I think that guy might have been the Joker,

and I want to say the Batista movie was the one where this woman did not get off her phone. And like, we could look down and see what she's looking at. So it's not like somebody just texted her and she had to respond. Cause like the babysitter reached out or something and was like, Hey, I'm just making sure everything's fine. No, what you end up getting out of this is this woman was on Facebook. Then she started scrolling Instagram. Then she started scrolling Twitter. And then she starts texting someone and like having a full-on conversation during the movie.

And like that, she was the worst in terms of being in all, she was inaudible, but she was annoying, right? Like it was like, you could see the phone and they don't even dim their phones to the point where it's about as low as it can go. It's full-on fucking bright. But today this couple, and I'm going to guess they were old people. to the point where it's about as low as it can go it's full-on fucking bright but today this couple and i'm gonna guess they were old people they were certainly at least like middle

aged midwestern people right hillbilly types you know morons so we're sitting there and it's in a small theater this isn't one of your big you know like where we saw the joker like last week where we saw the movie in that giant uh what do they call it the mega screen or whatever that's a giant screen and it's loud and intense it was pretty fucking cool but like this was in one of the smaller rooms because it's like a little art house type of indie type of movie not a real big one so of course you're going to be looking at you know a smaller theater and there's only a handful of people in there and these two people talked the entire fucking movie and if they weren't talking they were making weird disgusting mouth noises they were snotting constantly snorting

back snot and it was disgusting and they would not shut up and it's almost like they viewed like the um the the sound the the volume of the movie going up it's like they viewed it as a challenge to talk louder it's not like a situation where like they're just being kind of low and no if the movie got louder if there were music playing in the movie they talked fucking louder they were the worst it was insane i don't know what it's just i mean i've been in movies with obnoxious people before but for some reason saint louis just really kind of takes the cake with obnoxious moviegoers it's a it's a wild thing to experience man like and it's not kids either like a lot of times you'll be like oh what is it a bunch of doofy kids that are fucking around and we've dealt with some of those too but like when we saw beetlejuice there were some kids in there and up through the

trailers and everything in the previews they talked a lot but by the time the movie started they kind of settled in and they weren't little assholes right they were like and i say kids they're like teenager types you know 16 17 15 you know like teenagers high schoolers but when the movie started they were like hey we paid money to see this fucking movie. Let's shut the fuck up. These people today would not shut the fuck up. And it wasn't like, I don't even know what they were talking about. But like sometimes you'll hear people commenting on the movie.

Like I almost feel like they were having a separate conversation that had nothing to even do with the movie. I think that's accurate. I'm like, what the fuck are we doing like like i know that like as a kid we all probably did obnoxious shit at the movies and like snuck into like r-rated movies when we weren't supposed to like i've got like i got caught doing that when i was a kid once so my dad would take me to the movies all the time and that would and it didn't matter if it was a movie that you know seven-year-old josh wanted to see or not i had to go because me and dad went. So I remember one time, I think dad may have taken me to see The Unforgiven, the Clint Eastwood movie, The Unforgiven.

And I walked out of the movie to go to the bathroom and walked into Bebe's Kids, which is still one of my faves. I love Bebe's Kids. We don't die. We multiply. And one of the dudes, when I went in and snuck in and sat down, somebody that worked at the movie theater, like grabbed me and walked me back to the theater that the Unforgiven was showing. Like, so like, that was embarrassing, of course, but you know, that's what we did. We did dumb shit as kids. You're obnoxious. And I can forgive dumb, forgive dumb obnoxious kids like because we've all been

there like you want them to shut up and you want you but you also don't want to be the guy that's like hey you fucking kids get off my lawn because you're like I get it he the guy might be on a date with some girl or they're in a group of friends and you're just dicking around and it's like you're not at home you're away from your parents you're having a good fucking time like as long as you're not being so invasive in the movie I'm fine when you're middle-aged fucking people that don't shut the fuck up during the movie you're the fucking devil and I hate you and these people like it was almost funny because it was like like I can live with a once or twice you say something during a movie or like you might be

trying to say something to someone and then like right when you talk is when like the music or something stops or the scene changes and it goes from like a big loud scene to like nothing and it's like oops but that's not the case with these people they kept snotting and they kept talking and they wouldn't shut the fuck up and you want to talk louder if there was music they got louder and you want to know like like what should i do do i larry david that situation and be like or now this has happened in movies i've been in before too where someone will just have the the balls to say shut the fuck up and you get that sometimes from people too that theater was so small and there was only like four people in it that i wasn't like if you would have said shut the fuck up everybody would know who it is because there's nobody there but like what the fuck and here I've never experienced it like this

here and then what's even funnier is you go to sporting events here and nobody stands up so like it's a weird and at concerts you want to feel like you're out of place go to a concert in St. Louis and and dare standing up during or try standing up during the show, these people will bitch that you're standing up during the concert. Most of the concerts we've gone to have been classic rock. And most of them are not just classic rock. They're old as fuck classic rock. Like, when I got Chili Peppers, people were standing.

That's true. That's a fair point. But, like, a lot of the shows we went to, it's like you felt like you were being intrusive by standing up to watch a rock and roll show. Like, when you're watching all these old-ass, you know, acts that we had at Casey, and people would just bitch that you were being intrusive by standing up to watch a rock and roll show. Like when you're watching all these old ass, you know, acts that we had at Casey and people would just bitch that you were standing up. Like they'd look at you like you're an asshole. And I'm like, listen, I'm sorry that you're incapable of standing up because you're either morbidly

obese or handicapped or just old. And I'm sorry about that. But I came here to rock my fucking balls off to REO Speedwagon and you're not going to fucking ruin this for me, grandma. But anywho. Anyway, so that was movie and Mexican night tonight. Just a, just a, these people, these people, my God, like, that's all you can say is these people. I honestly don't get it. Adult people at the movies that don't shut the fuck up. Old, middle-aged fucks at the movies, and they don't shut the hell up. Maybe you mean well.

I don't know. And it's not like this was the kind of movie that was like a laugh-out-loud movie or something, where you're kind of like, it's just like, it's nonstop laughter, so you can't hear people talk. And they would do it in like there's like scenes that are kind of like monologue type scenes like kind of emotional climax scenes of this movie where it's supposed to be sort of emotional and they don't and they just talked right fucking through it and I'm like why would you pay to go to this movie if you're not going to listen to like the emotional apex of the fucking movie what are you doing anyway all right

so with that said i'm gonna go watch more of my uh my documentary about ted turner run up birthday oh it's ted's birthday huh ironically kind of worked out i started watching that i saw today like oh it's ted turner's birthday so i'm gonna go watch some ted turner documentary and uh we shall reconvene for more uh later
