01:11stick aroundthis is more to comewe're listening to ourselveson our own headphones right nowand it's bizarre it's weirdit's transportiveI'm mostly listening to youyou have a velvet
01:26I'm really tending to thepodcast voice now because I can hear myself when normally I'mwhat's going onRichard? Yeah see now you're like oh shit I've beendoing this wrong the whole time let me turn up the game and get close to themic so it's like I'm really talking to youto you the viewer the listeneryeah the reject
01:48so what do you think about this whole Amber heard trialoh let meI have many thoughts and opinions I would like to express on thatall right guysStick around for our Amber Heard Johnny Debtron.That's what you came to this to review for.Oh, man.Yeah, that was good.
02:11I think they even snuck a little yorma to-cone voice cameo at the end.Man, that was great.That was dazzling.That was delightful.Other D-word to complete alliteration.Dale Riffick.Chiptacular.Monterey
02:31Nah, it'll come to me.Montaragious.Montaragious, there you go.There might be a post-credit scene.There's modern day times.There's got to be.Post-credit scenes, modern day.A meta, self-aware post-credit scene.
02:50Boom!Movie sucks now.Redo it.Release the post-credit scene cut.Released.All right, let's talk about it.All right, that's right.We're trying this out.
03:03We could hear ourselves.This is weird.We're talking much lower than usual.This is new.This is prohibiting us from being able to be ourselves.This was a bad idea.It's okay.You should always try something out when it's go time.
03:15Yeah.Don't just experiment off camera first.We never have time to test anything.So it's always like, let's test it out on an actual video.And uploaded.Yeah.Let's risk this being unusable.But maybe we'll have to have.
03:28have a new technique.Yeah, okay, so as established in the beginning of this,I had, my knowledge of Chippendale was about just, you know, like what they look like.I had, when they made the joke about Chippendales, the Vegas show.And when I first heard there's a Chippendale trailer out, I thought it was about the Chippendale.Vega, I thought that's exactly where my mind went.I didn't think it was about Chippin, I didn't hear it was from Disney Plus.I thought it was just Chippendale.
03:57They're like, oh, they're doing something.movie about the chip and dale show yeah so yeah and I didn't know for a while thatoh it's about the chipmunks and so going into this there's very little things I had heard about itother than I people word a mouth on it was that it was a really good movie that it was greatI wasn't aware of the voice actors wasn't aware of any of that and as he saw on our reaction ifyou stuck around for it we have a podcast by the way real rejects podcast people who arealready here for the podcast are like why are you mentioned thisIt's because it's going up on YouTube.
04:29Some people on YouTube don't know that this can be found on Spotify, Apple Music, Music, Stitcher, wherever you get your podcast.And it would really help us out if you'd subscribe it.Yeah, it'd be cool, man.I'm trying to do a little bit more stuff there.But if you're there, here, this is going to confusing.Which audience do I tend to?All of them.You're all welcome here in the Reject Nation.
04:49So, yeah, I thought that this film was really delightful.I did not expect such a.Meta Roger Rabbit vibe through it all.It's the plot of Roger Rabbit in a lot of ways.You know, like, tunes are being murdered.Yeah, yeah.Some devious scheme is happening in the skeevy part of Toon Town,and we've got to figure out what it is and stop it.
05:16But they at least acknowledge Roger Rabbit twice,instead of ever making a direct joke about like,oh, this is a lot like the plot of Roger Rabbit.And it's that world of going through all the characters.But the scope when the cameo started coming in was really surprising to me because of all the different IPs.You know, and it's like Roger Rabber, very specific IP you were dealing with.If it's a Warren Brothers movie, it's only people in the Warner Brothers umbrella who you're dealing with.Well, Roger Rabbit did break ground in that they have that piano sequence where it's like Daffy.
05:48It was like Daffy.That's right.Yeah, it was like the first.It was a big moment for crossover.Right, right.But still like.this is way, you know, further down that revolution.This still bridges a whole bunch of other
05:59types of animation style.Like, I love how they made all thesejokes of things you can make fun ofover the years of the evolution of animation.You know, especially with the back in the dayand sometimes movies still suffer with it.That back in the day,CGI dead eyes look of the uncanny valley,
06:17I thought it was awesome.All the different kinds ofthe stop motion animation with the Gumby like.Yeah.And the way they utilize everything.seem to be not just like obvious jokes, but a genuine sense of adoration for it all,which made it that much more complimented.Like, and I think aesthetically the choice to make Dale the 3D animation and Chip keep him
06:44at his hand-drawn animation also worked so and well, like not just as a commentary of theother way times have changed, but also as a reflection of who these characters are.two characters who are also stuck in the pastin their own different wayslike Dale looks fondlyupon it but is trying to capture the magicof the fame and success stillso he's like selling out there's parts
07:12it's funny because there were parts of itthat were weirdly making me think of anotherAndy Sandberg movie called That's My Boyyou know andeveryone's favorite Adam Sandler joined toothere were parts of it were Daleit was kind of likeAndy's, it was for some reason
07:29making me think of the Andy Samburg and theand the, I mean that's a father and son's storybut the dynamics of, you know, havingAndy Samburg and the way Chip is portrayedhere. That's an R-ratedkids if you're listening tothis review. Don't watch that movie.Now this would be a good double feature.
07:45Yeah, maybe actually.Thematically.Unlikely double features are underrated.Whereas Chip is stuck in the pastbut in a grudging.sort of way.Yeah, in a bitter kind of way.Yeah, I really think like the way they are as characters is really fleshed out well.
08:04And I thought keeping that the center and the focus instead of doing what a lot of thesemovies tend to fail at where they get so caught up in only Easter eggs and only cameosand fun appearances and quick little nods, quick little one-liners.they still made it a story that honored the LA cop genre you know I thought it was really inventive and exciting and funny and the way they the way they did their meta commentary was was wonderful like I don't have any issues with this movie at all I don't even have I don't really have a single complaint I never foundannoying or anythingI thought it was like littlenitpicks you can do but I think thatwould just be me trying to find something that I don't
08:58actually have a problem with it. Yeah Ithought this was pretty inspired overalland yeah something I feel likeespecially I mean obviouslyRoger Rabbit is kind of the touchstone but there are other things thatblend you know cartoon realitywith real life or animated characterswith real life space jam or even the
09:16Sonic movie recently is kind of an example ofthat and I feellike there is a tendencyand I guess you could look at Space Jama new legacy andkind of see this happening where it's like they leanmaybe a little too heavily intolike it's a cartoon you know
09:32there are no rules we can havereckless abandon for everythingand just dump you knowrecognizable properties like it's funny there's so many thingsyou can sit during this movie and go it's thatand it's that and it's that blinking you'll miss itand yet somehowI felt like they really knew
09:47where to lean into the cartoonand when to lean out of the cartoonand to take certain aspects seriouslyor to at least treat themwith the credence of characterswho actually care.And yeah, it reaches this nice...It was like partway in.
10:06It was like at the half hour or 25 minute markwhere I was like, they're treating this like a real movie.And they're letting Chip and Daletheir emotional journeyand their relationship storygrow at a very natural paceI feel like a lesser movie would try and fast track that stuff to get to all the fungags and all the fun effects that, you know, we want to see and that are so dazzling to
10:27behold.But yeah, it's that, you know, simplicity at the core of them having to confront and reallyunderstand both their own feelings about each other as well as themselves and open up aboutall that stuff.But it's also that they're trying to help, you know, one of their immediate team.And so while it's not like being back in the cartoon, it does have this reallynatural core to ground it and then you have all the extra fun around that and yeah i thought thisbuilt it's funny there are a lot of similarities for roger rabbit but i thought this built really nicely
10:59and justified its existence by lovingly and beautifully combining so much and really going to show andwe were talking with a friend uh our friend erika a while ago who kind of put it to us this way thatlike a lot of people mistake animation for a genre when really it's a medium all unto itselfAnd this is a really great example of that because you see hand-drawn 2D animation from all different eras from like the hose style in black and white to the more modern style that looks like it's done on a computer to things in between.And then you have the claymation and you have this 3D.And there are multiple approaches to all those things so much so that that uncanny valley, I was like, wow, you guys left no stone unturned in really looking at the growth of animation in all its different facets over time and incorporating those and making those.those characters feel alive and treating each of their realities or each of their forms as justpart of this world. And so that's, you know, another thing that Roger Rabbit did really well is,
12:00yeah, I really believe that just all these people kind of coincide together. Yeah. And as opposedof just breaking the wall and making some obvious joke. Yeah. It's like, it's weird. It's like it is acartoon, but it doesn't feel as much like a cartoon as like a lot of other things can because, yeah,It is like, I want to go to that world.It feels so tangible, you know.I mean, they have puppets, too.And puppets, yeah, I was thinking of the Happy Time murders.I was like, this is way more palatable than the Happy Time murders, even,
12:28and it's doing parts of what that movie kind of tried to do.Well, I love that the way it was shot had such specificity to it.It wasn't just like some flat-looking film.And I feel like a long time, you kind of would,but they reallyhad greatsymmetry and lightingto complement each scene
12:51so when they're blending the animationseven though it takes place in Los Angeleswhereasnot to just keep making this comparisonRoger Rabbit or it's like Roger Rabbitthat's in Toon Town or whatever rightwhat's it called? Yeah there's Tune TownI can't remember what like major US
13:07city it's supposed to be kind ofa part ofwell they eventually get like really embodied therewere here you stay in L.A. the whole time.Yeah, yeah.And I thought, you know, the way they blended the animation and there looked seamless.It didn't look weirdly misplaced or just some added on thing in post.It still felt part of a world.
13:30Yeah, to the point that you'd have, like I was noticing there's moments where like a CG rendered character or a 3D meant to look.Like I kept marveling and wondering how they achieved some of these things or what they'rewas because like when a CG character picks up a 2D animated character, there's something about even that where I'm like, you could probably, and it probably is all done in the same effects render shot on a computer. And yet somehow it looks like you did a layer where there's a CG character and then you did a different layer where there's a hand-drawn character. And that again just lends more and more credibility to the interlocking and the interplay of all these different styles and effects and whatnot. And yeah, like this was not to slight Akiva Schaefer whatsoever because theLonely Island has always had film styleas part of their repertoire of comedyand I've very much enjoyed several of the comedieshe's directed with that crew but this one was one whereI was like man the the choices of lenses and angles
14:25to again lend credibility and to really make you feel like you arein a detective story or an L.A. movie or whatever it is at the timeare like really deliberate and and I forgetthe cinematographer's name off the top of my head I mean that'sanother you know sort of a guy who's got a lot of big creditsunder his belt butStill, it was, yeah, it was so much more crafted and cinematic than this movie had to be,because I'm sure it would be very easy to dish this out and put it on Disney Plus and plop your kids in front of it.
14:54But, yeah, this is, like, they...Well, am I thinking like a lot of the jokes kids who won't get?Yeah, that was, I was surprised.It's like, it is trying to play to everybody in a sense, but it's not trying to be too much for kids.To the point where I was like, I feel like the Ellie character is almost here to, you know,She has this sort of very incredibly genuine and sort of dough-eyed quality about her.And I feel like that is kind of the part where it's like, okay, we've got to kind of anchor this so it's still a bit of a family movie.But even still, it's got that edge and that sense that we're not trying to sanitize it too much.
15:29And we're not trying to get too edgy in a way where it's like you can tell we want to go further, but we can't.You know, like I felt like they had a good grip on how adults could enjoy this and how kids could enjoy this.Well, the commentary they make, A, they do a good job with characters, even with Sweet Pete.Like, I think they, the way they use their comedy is, and the commentary specifically, is through these characters and how one hasn't caught up with the times and the other one is trying to keep up with the times.So the way they do talk about reboots and those knock off, you know.Oh, the bootleg.the boot legs yeah the way they talk about those um the way they do talk about animation and suchis all it viewed in in what the characters are going through in the moment
16:24and like even with the rap you know like making fun of that the the idea of rebootsyeah like ending on that note that's almost like an adaptation endingof talking about what this film iswithout ever making it just somethingthat is talking to the audiencewhen the joke is clearly a meta jokeand I think tooyou know even sometimes there's
16:51it feels like it's more fleshed outand has more depth than the filmany need to really bebut never got weighted downor slowed down by iteven with sweet Peteyou know I thought that was cool tohewn a story
17:07about him, about Petergrowing up andbecoming an old bitter man.Going through what a lot of child actorsgo through. Going through like what a lot of child actorsgo through and how hebecomes the amalgamation ofso many things that have gone
17:23wrong. Yeah.So many things have been extended and adapted.This is a crossover catastrophewhen he's that big villain at the end.It's an IP mismatch.It's like literally the nightmare that this couldhave become yeah yeah i think that's so smart you know like i think ralph breaks the internet did areally good job on on that film i thought did a really good job on doing all the disney spoofs
17:46and stuff what i really liked about this one too was as many ips as they oh we got to talk aboutokly sonic at some point oh we as many as many as many ips as they sweep across here yeah as many asthere are actually they have phones help me out there because i noticed my voice was travelinghere when I was talking there soI was on I don't know I don't know I've got to focus myvoice here yeah soum thethe uh what we're just
18:12saying before I mentionedugly Sonic oh the IPsyeah all the uh with the IPsthey never went to unless I totallymissed it as some random Easter egg they never went toStar Wars and they never went to Marvelthey even did DCbut they didn't hone in on doing
18:29jokes that Disney nine times out of10, we have Marvel and Star Wars, let's do that.And they never went down that path.They actually respected the restraint on that.Yeah, it's like they, I think they are in there, but it's not, and I love free guy,but it's not free guy, where it's like, oh, I can tell the one sequence where this isafter the Disney merger, and now we can do that.Yeah.
18:52Whereas here, yeah, it's like, it's so, they, like those things pop up, but there's so manyother things that are popping up that are exciting that are featured that, yeah, get thatattention.I don't remember that.I don't remember them being there.The Star Wars is toward the beginning at the convention when they cut to the two mice, literal mice.Oh, yeah, yeah.But even that is not the most obvious, like, you know, it's not like Dale pulls out a lightsaber at some point.
19:15Like, you would imagine a Star Wars not in a movie like this to be.And I appreciate two again.They're also like a con, you know.Yeah.So it works within there, yeah.Exactly.And it's so brief.It's not the focus.
19:28And I thought that was another nice choice is it makes a lot of sense for these characters to be at convention.and signing autographs and whatever.And that gives you a chance to almost have your, like, goofy space jam background actors who just are people in cosplay, but then also have the characters around in real form.And, yeah, it creates a world rather than a conveyor belt of references.And I love that in a day and age where it's like you have Space Jam a new legacy where clearly that's Warner Brothers partially strutting their entire stable of IPs and characters.I am appreciative, and I'm sure that perhaps the breadth of what Disney owns is probably beyond what I'm aware of.But it seems like they probably had to pay at least certain people to use their IPs.There are definitely some Warner Brothers characters in here, and there are definitely some characters that aren't included in Fox that are in here, as much as there are a lot of Fox and other characters.
20:23Well, there's Dreamworks, too, and there's E.T.There's a lot.Sonic is paramount.And that's another example of like, you know, there's tons of Disney stuff in here.But I appreciate and especially in some kind of spiritual Roger Rabbit's successor that, yeah, they went across the aisle, paid a little money to other people to bring the characters together.And I always feel like there's sort of a laying down of the ego when that happens.Yeah, because this was about the animation departments.Yeah.
20:54You know, and I think that guts a lot of respect.and the fact that they got to get ugly Sonic is so crazy to me because most of us can remember when that trailer came out and the outrage and the fact that they change the design because of the outrage and that's something they like tried to bury like they hid that trailer you know and and then this character gets to live on and be a character and a different version of Sonic like a completely different versionand still make fun of that in a way that...It's like a recasting.Yeah, that only works because of that outrage.And it's like, oh, that's so funny.They got to make a character out of this.And it's the benefit of the outrage of what happened there.
21:40It's kind of nuts.And the original designer, the original design of that kind of gets to live on.Even though they tweak it, they make them like taller, older, fatter.Creepier.Creeper, yeah, yeah.But it's still honing in on that original design.That was actually a big surprise, like that was one of the most surprising things because I was like, wow, I want to hear the conversation that led to them approving that on both sides because that's, you know, a difficult moment, I'm sure for a lot of animators who worked on that and for the studio who put that out.And to come in and make Ugly Sonic an actual character and also I think it works because he helps save the day.
22:17So there is a bit of like we're not punching down too hard.Like we're acknowledging that Ugly Sonic is Ugly Sonic.but also, hey, this is actual supporting characterin a movie full of just blinking, you'll miss it,you know, appearances as well.Well, it's also like, we're not going to let your character go to waste.Yeah, yeah.And part of me hopes they brought some people back
22:36who worked on the original ugly Sonic model to do all that stuff.Like, I hope the animators on this movie were treated well,because that's often a controversy just among any effectsor, you know, animation department is like,we're like overworked and underappreciated and underpaid, blah, blah, blah.So I really hope that in a movieWith such celebration that the animators and that departmentAll those people got to really embrace
22:59And feel the joy that they're delivering us with the movieSounds like they couldn't get NickelodeonDid there are Nickelodeon characters?I don't rememberThere were someThere were some I mean they definitelyThey tell that whole story with Ellie's backgroundBut I don't recall seeing any characters
23:16I don't there probably areI don't remember them being featuredsuper prominently as like speaking or featured characters but there are definitely some you know it'slike the squidward star on the walk of fame and they're there they're the fact that they're talking aboutand they mention Nickelodeon and yet there are a number of I think even on the bootleg wall thereI think like Jimmy Neutron was a Nick show and yeah there are definitely there's aNickelodeon presence it's just not maybe the most prominent one yeah yeah well yeah this wasthis was a surprise I thought I thought like we've been walking and so many people said
23:50it was good, but I didn't knowwhat it was about,much about it, and as someone who wasn't a Chippendalefan growing up, not becausethey didn't like, they just never watched them.What channel were they on?Disney?Disney Channel?
24:06Or was it? ABC watching it in the morning.Because, yeah, there was a block where it was,oh God, what was it? It was Rescue Rangers,like Darkwing Duck andand Duck Tales?I don't know sure. I feel like theymight have been on the Disney channelbut it could have been
24:23like an ABC Saturday morning blockor something like that or maybe they played in both placesI don't know. For the longest time there's only one TV in the houseI just didn't watch itbut this was greatand I hope peopleI hope people watch this moviebecause this was awesome. This was an awesome movie
24:43this was really awesome. It's one of the best things I've seen all yearabsolutely yeah this brought me a lot of joyI can't wait to watch it againAgain, I can't wait to show it to people.And two, I appreciate, like, I thought the voice cast did a really good job because it's easy to fall in the hole of having a bunch of celebrity voices and not having it feel like a, you know, not missing actual voice actors.And I know that there are probably arguments to be had about who gets included in a movie like this.But I feel like they did have some also classic voice actors lending their talents as well.Definitely, definitely.
25:15But yeah, even the celebrity cast, I thought was really well chosen.Like Eric Banner, I was sitting there going, is that one of the other?the original voice actress or is that?And I didn't even recognize until the end, yeah.Yeah.So.All right, guys.Well, what did you think about Chippendale, Rescue Rangers movie?
25:30Leave your thoughts down below.Is your childhood satisfied?I mean, mine is.Mine is.Without playing so much outcome.This is the best possible outcome for this.Hey, let's do a patron of the day show.Out of
25:51EverettPixel Might BakerIf ever a filmdemonstratedThe Might of PixelsIt's probably this filmPlus there was a bakerIn the movie
26:07He was a shady guyBut he was baking and he had breadNo matter how many illicit weaponsMight have been hidden in the breadEverett is a shady individualEverett as wellIs the shady.If you were a cartoon, you would be like one of those cartoon robber guys with like, you know, the beanie hat and the five o'clock shadow and like, you know, one gold tooth.
26:29In real life, though, he's a cult leader.I would follow the part.I wish you would tell me where your compound is.I'm sorry, I really set you up for a dark joke and I think I went too dark there because of where you went.Kids love cult jokes, though.I know.Kids are watching these Netflix documentaries.about cult leaders yeah and i think everett might be featured one of them one day and i just thought it
26:55be cool to be like you know people are like hey i saw charley manson once at spawn ranch when i wasriding a horse i thought like it mentioned then we know ever we we saw ever picks on my bakerused to subscribe to our patreon before he killed the crazy stuff yeah oh man but he has all thesehot girls yeah just following him yeah people love a crazy person i just don't understandPeople have a charismatic on a hinged person.It's just he seems like so passionate,and he knows what he's talking about.It just makes you feel like you're the only person in the room.
27:23Sometimes I'm there, and I'm like,he's talking directly to me when there's like 100 hot women there.And I'm like, I'm just a random dude there.So, you're not hot at all.But you feel hot when you talk to Ever Baker.That's the strange thing.He's got this power and its ability to just connect to my souland make me do things.
27:40I never thought I do terrible things.Terrible, awful, unspeakable things.But hey, you do what you have to for love, am I right?For the love of Everett Baker?I know, right?They're a drug.Where it's to do ASMR reviews.Let's crank the games and we can hear the sound of our own voice.
28:03It's cranked the game really high and whisper really low.So you can hear the inside of our mouths.Every breath.let's end the video before we blow people's ear drums out
