Starting point is 00:01:37 All right, well, just remember this. Meatballs are in your future. They're in my future. This movie's at least 3,000 calories. I'm at 1,200 deficit. So we're going to find out together in three, two, I'm so hungry. We just experienced cloudy with a chance of meatballs for the very, first time. Before we get into it, remember to always send in Patreon questions. We're going to

Starting point is 00:02:03 answer some of those as a way to guide our conversation. But also, remember to like, subscribe, comment, do all the YouTube buttons, and thank the fine folks at Prepper. This is one of the easier ones because it's a, you know, a children's film, but it is a hard edit to get anything YouTubeable with copyright and stuff. This one might not have blood and gore and the things Roxy and I usually watch together, but it will be a battle. So thank you to Prepper and all the folks over at Patreon. And everyone else watching this video, If you're on YouTube, but joining us in this journey, I appreciate you joining us for our first

Starting point is 00:02:33 cloudy adventure. And I'm curious, the second one is, because there's another one of these. Oh. It got a sequel. Wow. This video does well. Maybe watch the sequel.

Starting point is 00:02:42 I wonder, it's got to be a different invention, right? It can't be. You can't re, I mean, maybe the world needs food. And he takes it on tour. Oh. I don't know, because it's pretty global. Maybe there's an imitator. Yeah, maybe he's going to take out the other mad scientist

Starting point is 00:02:55 that isn't as wholesome. But yeah, what did you think? I think it's so cute I think the script was really smart and it didn't have to be this smart you know like they could have really just catered this towards kids and they didn't have to have all of these callbacks

Starting point is 00:03:11 and payoffs and little like Easter eggs and things throughout but they did and that elevated it so much sometimes I get annoyed with scripts because I'm like you planted the seed and then you didn't water it like and I'm watering it

Starting point is 00:03:27 the whole time and then I'm disappointed at the end There was not one thing I was disappointed by because I feel like they followed through exactly what I wanted to do with the father, son storyline, exactly what I wanted to do with the love interest storyline, exactly what I wanted to do with all of the obstacles that were in the way. Every invention ended up mattering

Starting point is 00:03:45 as I was bringing that up early on. I was like, it's interesting that none of his inventions are working at all. Oh, wait, third act. Right. And so I just think that the payoff in the third act was so strong that there's nothing about the script that you could be like, that didn't work for me.

Starting point is 00:04:01 It would be so difficult because it just was so 90-minute tightness. And visually looked really cool, too. So I'm really into this. How about you? I think what these two guys do in particular is what I love about the concept of metamodernism, which I talk about all the time. That's like one of my favorite things in modern pop culture, which is sincere irony and ironic sincerity simultaneously.

Starting point is 00:04:24 Like the ability to be cheeky but with heart. Like the ability to be like, that's sarcastic. but I meant it, but it's got another layer to it. And I think this movie is a great example of what leads to your Spider versus, your 21 Jump Streets, all those things that they're known for, even the use of

Starting point is 00:04:40 running a joke just a little too long, but making it heartfelt, like the name thing. Or, you know, some of the visual puns and some of the actual puns, like, there's such a, oh, what a dad joke, but it really works because it's sincere that I think is such a strength of them, and explaining really dense concepts,

Starting point is 00:04:57 like obviously we can't make food out of water but they make a narrative out of the book that is applicable that a kid could be like you know radioactive things can turn food like they're really good at like in universe explanations while being funny and super energetic and I just think they're geniuses

Starting point is 00:05:14 I think the two of them are two of the best writers out there it's why I'm so excited for Hail Mary because that book is incredible I'm really excited to see them do something else live action because we've had Spiderverse I think two if Spiderverse 3 is as good as one and two, I think it's the best trilogy I've ever seen.

Starting point is 00:05:31 I think two five-star films in the Spider-verse and they're great at live action with Jump Street and things, but I've never seen them do something as dramatic as Hail Mary. So I'm really excited to see what they do there, and this just gives me more faith that they can do no wrong. Yeah, I'm with you on all fronts,

Starting point is 00:05:47 and they introduced some concepts in here that were kind of interesting. The fact that they're talking about bigger is not always better. Yeah, the gluttony. The gluttony of it all, the fact that we have a man who, in his own country, was a pilot and a doctor. Yeah. And here he is a camera operator.

Starting point is 00:06:07 Came here for a better life. Isn't that ironic? You know, they actually take some pretty big swings in this to introduce content also about politicians. And the misogyny of the newscaster. Like, just be pretty. Just be pretty. Say dumb things. She had to play dumb because that's only they should work.

Starting point is 00:06:22 And while we're watching an actual world. crisis take place. We're going to comment on your looks instead because we are diverting from what is actually matters but with all of these distractions. The father's traditional nature versus the future and like all those father's son dynamics. That and the loss of your mom and what it means to not have female influence in your life anymore. And so like all of these things are really big concepts that they of course they're not going to dive into like to the deepest extent because this is still a kid's movie, but the fact that they're introducing it and making people start to think about it.

Starting point is 00:07:01 Yeah. What is it to have belief in your kid? And when is it too far? And when do you try to gear them back? And, you know, the way that science works is that kids are supposed to have two parents for that balance system. And that doesn't, not all kids get that lucky. And when you are stripped of that, it is extra hard on the one living parent to try to

Starting point is 00:07:24 to have both those concepts. So just the fact that I'm even talking about any of this after a cloudy with a chance of meatballs is kind of absurd. Very impressive. But Lord and Miller were like, we have some thoughts on these things. And let's just sprinkle those into it.

Starting point is 00:07:40 Like you can come here for a better life as an immigrant after making an unbelievable work effort in your, wherever you're from. And then you come here and you're treated different. You can be a woman who is the smartest person in the room, but because of how you look you're treated different like those are things that why would this movie tackle that

Starting point is 00:08:00 but it did while having public enemies fight the power right right like it layers up and that's I think their strength like they don't make movies that are linear they add so many layers to the sandwich yeah I just really really excellent work by Lord and Miller hair and the punmanship my God is so good in this movie

Starting point is 00:08:18 yeah there's so much smart puns so many smart puns concepts jokes man it's like one of those movies it's so dense they're like rewatchability is crazy like there's so much I'm sure we missed and I think that like you know with my little niece that too with your future children these are like oh I can't wait for watches my kids

Starting point is 00:08:33 you want to introduce your the young generation to you know it was 2009 so I was in my senior year of high school I moved here in 2009 senior year of high school going into my freshman year of college and this was not even close to on my radar at the time I graduated that much earlier than you I graduated no six

Starting point is 00:08:50 three years earlier than me I guess that makes sense I just turned 34. Oh, yeah, I'm turning 37. Man. But you'll be back east, man. Yeah, I haven't had a... I haven't had a Boston birthday, I think, in 15 years. Jelly.

Starting point is 00:09:05 See, we had to make a Boston reference in here somewhere. Yeah. There was no tea party joke. That was what I was waiting for, because I thought we might get that for us. Yeah, that's true. Like big tea bags falling into a bay. That's amazing.

Starting point is 00:09:16 Ana Ferris did such a great job in this. Agreed. I did not recognize her voice. Bill Hader always did a great job. A lot of great vocal. acting choices in this. Anyway, I'm sure that... Oh, yeah, the Mr. T element, the Bill Hater,

Starting point is 00:09:29 like everyone was so... You loved Mr. Tee. Oh, my God, Earl was so... Everything he said was my favorite thing. And the monkey was amazing. I love... Steve. Aladdin and Aboo is my favorite duo in Disney. I'm a sucker for a story with a monkey. I've always wanted one. It was part of why I love friends so much.

Starting point is 00:09:45 I just... They're the best creatures. All right, let's do some Cloudy with a chance of meatballs. Patron questions. First up, from Game knight j14 what food creature would you guys create if you had access to the machine i'm not even trying to spell it's acronym i love that running joke too the acronym being garbage and they've just tried to say it because a lot of scientists pick names for things that are absolute trash yeah instead they just went like this and but i flew forever um okay what food creature would you guys

Starting point is 00:10:14 create creature so do they mean like the jello tower yeah i guess like well why don't we just answer like food you know dynamic because there wasn't a lot of creatures till the third act. Okay do you have an answer to this? Um I don't I would like to make a Mayan temple out of

Starting point is 00:10:36 casadias like I feel like I can make a cool structure trying to think structure and food. Okay weirdo or a boat out of a steak piccato burrito like a raft I've always been a huge Willy Wonka fan

Starting point is 00:10:52 So some kind of a chocolate river Seems attainable Yeah, like the beauty of that Come on, it would be sick Yeah, those are a pulse I'm real hungry If you could make it rain one food, what would it be? Thank you, Mike Joyce

Starting point is 00:11:08 Rejignation, as many of you know I got very serious about my health this year Since January, I've dropped nearly 50 pounds and a little over 10% body fat.

Thank you HelloFresh for supporting the world with a healthier lifestyle. If you may rain one food. I think that you and I can be very practical

Starting point is 00:12:57 and we would have to be extremely practical about this. The number one sustainable food for people that they can live off of is avocado. If you can make it rain one. Oh, I like that. You can make it rain one food with all of the absolute crisis going on in the world of hunger crisis.

Starting point is 00:13:13 you would have to pick something that people could That was very wholesome Yeah I like that I mean the the protein is lacking But at least it's got healthy fats It has a lot of health fats It's calorie dense It's very it's a lot of different ways

Starting point is 00:13:26 And they also don't require the same kind of storage Or just something like a meat They go bad real fast They do but like If we can keep it raining If we can keep it raining avocado Yeah I'm gonna be less practical

Starting point is 00:13:37 Because that is such a practical answer Which I respect If I'm not worried about If I'm in this fictional world of Yes yes I am going to go rain one food Guinness

Starting point is 00:13:50 I would like it to rain Guinness I have a follow-up question for you Yes Do you know that Guinness is not food? It is very hearty It fills you up It is actually less calories than skin milk Making it one of the healthier beers

Starting point is 00:14:04 It is... I just want to make sure that you know that beer is not food What is food by definition? not drinks not beverages all right I'll counter that with

Starting point is 00:14:19 I love the answer and we're sticking to it I just need to know as your fellow Boston homie so we don't get stereotyped that you know that Guinness is in fact it's got food nutritious

Starting point is 00:14:33 elements what is food mashed potatoes I think it'd be really fun like snow if it rained mashed potatoes you can sculpt it and you could like dive into it you could slide all right so let's just just juxtapose these for a second i said i need to get avocados to the children in gaza and i said

Starting point is 00:14:52 you know i got to slide around and i got to make snowmen and i also caveat in a fictional world first so i wasn't a monster where is the guinea i am i said fictional world i am not trying to make the world a better place in this answer I am merely joyously drinking and eating potatoes. Yours would make the world a better place. Oh my God. I think there would be a lot more tranquility. Listen, I love your answer.

Starting point is 00:15:20 Do not get me wrong. I also assume it would be draft. Yeah, yeah. Which is the best of Guinness. Yeah, come on. There's nothing better. What are we doing about the foam head? That's the clouds.

Starting point is 00:15:30 Yeah, okay. It comes out. You've thought of everything. Yeah, I'm prepared for this. Go ahead. Guinness. Also, Guinness is good, warm or cold, making it the best beer to be poured from the sky.

Starting point is 00:15:40 What are we doing about the children? Oh, I'm... Keep your mouth closed, children. I was going to say, I think Guinness will be served to my child before 21. Before 21, but I'm talking about like the five-year-olds. It doesn't stunt your growth like they claim. Yeah, yeah. They'll be fine.

Starting point is 00:15:57 In the pool? Mike Joyce, thanks for revealing me be a horrible parent. Next up, Tim, Tom, yeah, Tim Porkroll. Tim Porkroll, your name is very fitting for this film. Not to get too morbid, but what would your death row meals be? I've thought about this a lot. I'm sure you have Gainesis boy. I would like it to be a buffalo chicken artichoke pizza with steak, potatoes, and a glass of either poaching or whiskey ginger.

Starting point is 00:16:26 Like, I want it to be, like, a little bit of everything, and then, like, Padki Mao, Thai food. Like, I want it to be, like, nice hearty, because I'm not going to be worried about my calorie density. I'm going to eat all the things that I shouldn't eat, and then, like, a nice beverage to take me out. I'm thinking surf and turf I love a filet and I love lobster which you don't And then pasta is my favorite food all the time So maybe surf and turf over some kind of a pasta

Starting point is 00:16:51 I like that we're both like I'm gonna eat as much as I want Oh yeah Because that's it. But then like Someone has to clean it up But that's whether you eat a little or a lot Okay And chocolate chip cookie. Oh I love a chocolate

Starting point is 00:17:02 Oh nice one Actually I'm gonna go full cookie dough I want a tray a cookie dough Like the 24 Nestle I want it baked for a very small out of time. Okay, so like a warm gooey center, just the shape of a cookie. Yeah, exactly. Before I started my fast,

Starting point is 00:17:15 that was the last thing I ate was a pound of cookie dough. Yeah, whole pound. To the face. It was real good. It made the scale. A pound is a lot of cookie dough. I have an actual addiction, like a problem. When I had the tapeworm, I ate so much cookie dough and everybody would come over and they'd be like, you have cookie dough in your fridge and I was like, yeah. And I was eating like four or five

Starting point is 00:17:31 trays, which is a pound. And I didn't realize it was like, the tapeworm won. It was controlling everything. So I'd be like, yeah, you get cookie dough. And one of my exes tried to give me to break it like the cigarette habit of like smoke this whole pack and she got me like a Costco sized tub like where you spoon out I just ate it and I gained seven pounds because it was five pounds of cookie dough and I just was like

Starting point is 00:17:49 oh what does that have to do with the tape? Oh it craves sugar and I wasn't my brain wasn't logical I was like I just calories is calories and I was just eating cookie dough all the time because I was like I crave sugar and I got like horrible addiction to cookie dough. Wow yeah fun fact about me at the end of this video wow thank you Tim

Starting point is 00:18:05 I still to this day anytime I can house a pound of cookie dough if I ever had the game wait for a roll last one here Robbie Bar Barbar Pyrus Robbie Barbop Pyrus Thank you very much for the super chat Hi guys, how's going? Hello. I was thinking of food related question

Starting point is 00:18:21 Because it's the main theme of the movie But seeing that you already answered Two or three questions like that Let's change topic I love by the way Robbie When you guys look at each other's questions And you don't repeat questions That is awesome

Starting point is 00:18:31 Thank you to our patrons who do that Let's change topic to one I challenge you to say the name of the invention as fast as you can Two, how would you have called Flynn's Food Machine. Three, what would you invent? Great questions all around. Hit me with one, Coy.

Starting point is 00:18:44 One. Flisimidavir. Fliish deifer. Flitish midiffer. Flitzmer. Fletzmysfer. I think yours is much closer. Nicely done. You could do some consonants. Two, what would you have named Flynn's food machine? I mean, okay, so it makes the food rain. Yes.

Starting point is 00:19:08 Food rain. Food. Everybody sings, any time you need. What do you think? I would call it food. The food on order device. Okay.

Starting point is 00:19:24 You're giving Elon. Sorry, guys. I went later. You know, I really want one of those Amazon slate trucks, and I feel horrible about it. Yeah, I hear you. It looks so, I like the simplicity. I get it.

Starting point is 00:19:38 You know, late stage cat. I have, it's a struggle. Last one, what would you invent? I can't tell you guys because I want to start a company. Patent to that, whatever it is. Copyright Roxy 2026. I have a T-related invention. Oh.

Starting point is 00:19:53 But I can't give you the T on the T. Can't, uh, what would I invent? If I could invent anything, I would invent. Water that turns into Guinness. Oh, man, if only. If, oh, that'd be so dangerous for me to have. I would invent something that allows you to have like a bubble that is like a two-way sound device that you could turn on or off. So you could receive the sound if you wanted, but you wouldn't output sound unless you chose to.

Starting point is 00:20:27 So that like when you're on a train, all the sound and cacophony for people's nerves, like people that have anxiety would be able to be out in public. But like navigate that. But also when you go to the movie theater, you could like mute someone. so that, like, they'd stop messing with my theater experience. So, like, a sound device. How many times have you sat there thinking that you wish that you had this? It used to be a more violent daydream, but now I'm trying to keep people alive. But I've thought about, like, it'd be cool to have, like, a taser and just this is it for any time people talk.

Starting point is 00:20:57 So instead, mute them. The thing that I really want actually already exists, which is those full-body scanners that tell you, like, 1,400 different diseases that you could possibly have, like, all different tumors and all the stuff. but it costs like $4,000 in order to get those scans because government is an absolute scam. And so I would invent one of those and then for free because it can save everybody's life. Avocados and life-saving Guinness and Taser silence.

Starting point is 00:21:24 And you know what? We're both making the world a better place, one practically and one with inventions, a little bolder and more selfish. Thank you very much and much love to Sardinia. I appreciate that very much. Patrons, thank you for these wonderful questions. and again, thank you for looking at the other ones

Starting point is 00:21:39 and mixing it up. That is very helpful and consider it. We appreciate it. Hopefully this video does well. We'll do the second one if so, so please like, subscribe, comment, let us know what you'd invent. Let us know what food you would want to be rained from the sky. Let us know if you enjoy this reaction. This movie's a blast.

Starting point is 00:21:55 It was good to be off probation with Roxy. We're back. Everybody still asked me about that. Now it's the greatest. We've got like a subtext. There's like, there's lore. I like that we have lore. And somebody wrote over most recent video It's like, because they're actually not buddies and they hate each other for so long

Starting point is 00:22:11 and I wanted to be like, mm-hmm. That's it. That's the secret. That's what it was. It's that Boston rivalry. It's that knee-jerk reaction. She was on the wrong side. Boy, and I wouldn't speak for a year. Yeah, that was, yeah, we didn't talk outside of here either.

Starting point is 00:22:26 We can't tell you guys what it was about, but it was big. It was rough. Roxy's from the wrong side of the 95. All right, that is going to do it. We'll see you soon. Bye.
