Tara, anything else you'd like to add before we get into Deadpool? No, I'm just stoked because I love Ryan Reynolds.

Starting point is 00:01:43 Deadpool, commence. Yes. Oh my God, I'm so good. There is a either. Thank you, Tim Miller. Yes, there is a mid or a post, so we definitely have to continue. The music seems so loud. Well, we just watched Deadpool 2016.

Starting point is 00:02:05 If you're listening on Apple or Spotify, make sure you drop those katanas. Give us five-star ratings. We would really appreciate it. Also, RejectnationShop.com. Get cool keys like these. Tara. What do we have here?

Starting point is 00:02:19 Oh, my God. This is, we're not, oh, the other one that we actually are going to be selling is up there. I'm scared to show this one, but. I love this one. I want to see it. It's, okay, so this is going to be out, but it's going to be on orange and black. We don't have the gold there, but if you go to RejectnationShop.com, this is our new spooky design done by me and Roxy, and we love it so much.

Starting point is 00:02:43 And it will be on the shop, in the shop, by the time this comes out. So cool. So cool. And this will be a limited edition one, medium. It's brand new. Me and Roxy will sign it, and then it will go up on RejectNationshop.com for a bit more money to help us pay back for all the sampling. we do to make sure that the sheet decks give you the best of the best, because we love you. Just saying, Christmas is coming up.

Starting point is 00:03:05 I want a copy, but I want a signed copy from you and Roxy. Just saying, okay? Tara, as usual, we always start with you. What did you think of pool? I, this is, okay, you know I'm an X-Men girl. You are an X-Men girl. But right now, I'm like a Deadpool over X-Men girl.

Starting point is 00:03:22 Oh, one film. I love it. I mean, like, I am like full-on freaking Deadpool. Are you kidding me? that was hilarious. It was almost to me a perfect film because it included such smart writing, really, really funny. The pacing and the tone of it was like perfect. I mean, as you stated while we were watching it, in between the action and the adventure, they're also mixing in a ton of comedy, but there's perfectly stated moments of like love and sadness and kind of tearing at your heartstrings, especially when it comes to, like, cancer and death and

Starting point is 00:04:02 relationships, they did a really good job of sprinkling that in. But when it was sprinkled in, you didn't feel like, oh, we're in the wrong movie. What the fuck is happening? They're not doing this right? You felt like it was the perfect time to say it. And I think that what really carries that is really good directors, but also a really good actor. I think the way that Ryan Reynolds went back and forth from Deadpool to the times where it needed to be serious, even though he'd be joking at times. It still played really, really well. I think to make this an amazing movie that had action adventure, like scenes where he like cuts the guy in half, he's decapitating people, he's counting the weapons, but mixed with heart, because my biggest complaint is if I really

Starting point is 00:04:51 love a movie but it doesn't have heart, it's not going to win me over. And this movie definitely won me over. It is such smart, hilarious writing, and I loved it. Absolutely. I agree with you. And granted, I know I've talked a lot of crap about X-Men Origins Wolverine. Again, I did mention when we reacted

Starting point is 00:05:11 to that. There are things about that film I really did like. I like the first 20, 25, 30 minutes. We really enjoyed that film. And that was Ryan Reynolds included in the beginning of that film. Totally. But I think all the problems I had with that, especially the Deadpool parts, I think were

Starting point is 00:05:26 corrected and fixed in this film. Granted, this is his film. It's not, you know, Wolverine's film. But like you were saying, just to piggyback a little off what you were saying, and kind of what I was also alluding to during the reaction that I couldn't get too much deep into, I think the biggest thing with films for me besides, like, I love films that are very character-driven. Obviously, a great story always helps as well.

Starting point is 00:05:48 Yeah. And obviously, I'm going to mention how much I love the characters in a second. Yeah. I think balance is such, it's a really tough thing to figure out when you're, writing a script because you can write it and try to execute it but then like and even when you're filming it you don't know because everything you're filming it at a single time you don't know until you start seeing dailies and then even as you're editing it's like okay it feels good but like actually after you see you're like shit we didn't do it or shit we did do it this is

Starting point is 00:06:15 this is lightning and above this is the jackpot we did it yeah so I think you know the writers did a fantastic job just really bouncing because you got fourth wall breaking you got comedy, you got romance, you got action. And a lot of meta. And a lot of meta references. That's a lot of balancing juggling act. It can be bad. Yeah, for sure. But this was good. It was done well. It was executed in a way that wasn't take

Starting point is 00:06:38 because again, fourth wall breaking can take you out of a film. Meta stuff can take you out of a film. But the way it was executed and with Ryan Reynolds' charming hysterical delivery was keeping you still grounded in the film and then you obviously have this dramatic story about a guy having cancer and doing whatever it takes because he's in love and wants to do whatever it takes so he can get back to the love of his life. And there's something

Starting point is 00:07:02 endearing about that storyline, like doing whatever it takes for love. You know, from that perspective, like I was just engulfed in that part of the storyline. And then when you got characters that within five minutes that we love, we got to see right away, you know, Wade Wilson's character stopping this creepy stock. We're like, okay, we love him right away. And then you got to see the chemistry and the relationship between him and Vanessa. We're like, okay, we're obsessed in love with these characters. But yeah, I just, I love that they immediately get us into a story that we're emotional, we've got emotional depth with these characters that we're invested in, and then you've got

Starting point is 00:07:36 the storyline where this guy will do anything to survive, and then we've got action sequences that are exhilarating and awesome, intercut with funny comedic banter that keep you still grounded with all, like we said, with the fourth wall breaking, and I love the inventiveness on some of these action sequences you got the bullets being 12 11 10 it's just so inventive and awesome and a lot of these core in the choreography with the action sequences too fantastic hand to hand too i want to definitely give credit but um also too i want to give a shout out to a ryan rounds i love that he was okay with making fun of himself whether it came to making fun of the deadpool and x-men uh origins uh or wolverine and also making fun of his performance

Starting point is 00:08:20 Green Lantern or just the film in general I think there's like I think that's why I love like one of my favorite comedians of all time is Rodney Dangerfield and that guy I'm not sure if you've ever heard his comedic fits but maybe he makes fun he made fun of himself all the time and I think that's like that

Starting point is 00:08:36 that's where I ain't get no respect like and that's like I think like that's it really works in this film Ryan and I was making fun of himself totally and I also I loved all the stuff included Hugh Jackman and I think that's gonna once we get to Deadpool and Wolverine that's gonna make like, oh, that's going to just add so much more weight to possibly arrive. Well, we'll

Starting point is 00:08:55 see. I mean, I haven't obviously seen. We haven't seen the film. We haven't. We're wasting. We'll see. But, or maybe a jealousy of sorts. Right. The sexiest man alive. But, yeah, overall, I love this film so much. It's, it's a great time while also at the same time. It's very endearing. It's very charming. It's very satisfying to watch. And I think, but I think the biggest strength of this film is the chemistry and the heart of the relationship of the two main leads. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 00:09:25 Is the main driving force that keeps me invested in the story for me personally. I agree. And I don't remember his name, but he's a great actor, the one who plays Francis. I mean, you should look up trivia right now. I'll look it up right now. Yeah, and I really love the chemistry

Starting point is 00:09:40 between him and the girl. I thought that they did a really great job and it was just the second you saw them together. I mean, you could just feel the chemistry on screen, which I always find it odd when you watch a movie and there's like a guy and a girl and you're like, I don't feel the chemistry. I'm like, did they not do a chemistry read? Like, it just seems so odd to me. Obviously, they did. And they look, they look great together. And I really, really believe their relationship.

Starting point is 00:10:08 And that is what really made me feel at the end. Like when she takes off his mask and she says or like i'd be happy to sit on it i just think that that it's it's so funny but it's also very heartwarming right um i really love that romance i'm looking up to see if he was in peeky blinders is that what you said yes i thought but i could be told you i've literally seen two episodes of that i don't even i'm not seeing it but yeah i was wrong typical reject nation i just want to take a quick second to thank today's sponsor because as a business owner i am surprisingly not the greatest at handling and tracking finances. It just doesn't come naturally to me. I can definitely have an oversight when it comes to certain things. And I'm sure you can relate with this. I hate the feeling of paying for something that I just haven't thought about in a while or worst. I just keep forgetting to cancel. Procrastination is the name of the game. And that's why, before we ever partner with today's sponsor, about a year and a half ago, I started using Rocket Money. I'm glad to have this ongoing partnership with them because I already used their product. So it just makes it a win-win. But seriously, they've been a lifesaver. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that's simplifies managing money by canceling unnecessary subscriptions, lowering bills.

Starting point is 00:11:18 Rocket Money does the heavy lifting by analyzing your spending, then customizes notifications to help you stay within your budget goals. Over 74% percent, not 75, 74% of people forget about subscriptions they don't use. I was paying for things I don't even remember subscribing to. Free trials will do that. One of the best things about rocket money, they found those things and canceled them for me effortlessly. What I really love about rocket money is organization. It puts everything in one place.

Starting point is 00:11:44 Imagine just seeing all your subscriptions and with just a tap, you're able to cancel the ones you don't want. It even compares your spending month to month keeping you on track for more financial success. Money's the name with the game. Rocket money can also negotiate lower bills for you up to 20%. With over 5 million users and over $500 million saved and cancel subscriptions, it's helped people save up to $740 a year. Join the Rocky Money community and stop wasting money on things you don't use. Cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocketmoney.com slash rejects. That's rocketmoney.com slash rejects.

Starting point is 00:12:19 It's a great way to support the channel and a great way to support your bank account. Heck, it would even just help us out if you wanted to just click the link and poke around. Generous thing that you could do for us and for you. It's a win-win. But yeah, also too, I do want to mention we were talking about the inventiveness of the action sequences with like the bullets and some other things. I thought it was super inventive, how we got to develop the relationship with happy internet. National Women's Day and Happy Thanksgiving, Halloween, like just developing the passage of time through their love. That was very smart.

Starting point is 00:12:50 I thought that was incredible to do that. It was great. I loved it so much. It's awesome. That was great. Okay, so should we get into some? Let's do trivia. Okay, let's get into trivia.

Starting point is 00:13:02 Let's see, got it. Okay, it's loading. Here we go. Through the Make a Wish Foundation, 13-year-old Connor McGrath, a terminally ill. fan from Edmonton requested to attend the special event for Deadpool in January, one month before the film came out, which turned out to be one of the two special screenings in New York and LA for Los Angeles for the fans. He couldn't make it due to the severity of his illness. Ryan Reynolds heard his story, traveled to Edmonton and surprised him with a private special screening of the

Starting point is 00:13:35 film. Reynolds said the boy was the first person ever to see the film. They kept in touch until Connor's passing a few months later. Reynolds pay tribute to him on his social media pages. Oh, my God. Ryan Reynolds. Like the hair is standing. Like, if y'all zooning, like Harley's Molly. I never.

Starting point is 00:13:55 I've heard stories about this film and, you know, but that one I'd never heard. Wow. Good on you, Ryan Reynolds. That's an incredible story. Man. During a talk at Google, Ryan Reynolds revealed that the taxi driver character, Do Pinder was named after a. and I quote a really cool guy he knew in elementary school

Starting point is 00:14:13 who died when hit by lightning. Whoa. The character was meant to be a tribute to him. Oh, wow. I really like that he did that. Oh, my God, died by lightning. In elementary school. Holy tamale.

Starting point is 00:14:25 Sheesh. Wow. This film is just tragedy after tragedy, right? I'm not going out in the rain ever again. Yeah. Ryan Reynolds has said that Deadpool will be the last comic book character he will ever portray. However, he doesn't object to future Deadpool's sequel.

Starting point is 00:14:40 and or cameos. Heck yeah. Good to know. Get it, Ryan. When 20th Century Fox refused to pay the writers of the film, Rhett, Reese, and Paul Wernick, for on-set input, Ryan Reynolds paid out of his own pocket for them to be on set to overlook the film.

Starting point is 00:14:56 Rees stated, we were on set every day. Interestingly, Ryan wanted us there. We were on the project for six years. It was really a core creative team of us, Ryan and director Tim Miller. Fox, interestingly, wouldn't pay for us to be on set. rentals paid out of his own money out of his own pocket that is insane it kind of makes me hate fox because anytime you are on set at least when i am on set the writer it has been

Starting point is 00:15:24 there um because they give you quick turnarounds they're like we don't like that line let's do another take so they have a bunch of alternates i get that he's good at improv but that's why i was saying the way that it is written of course he would want the writers there because they're going to be able to go, great, we'll do another take. Here's the pitch. Like, here's the joke. And then he can do five takes

Starting point is 00:15:48 with the writers being there and have multiple takes that you could use to edit in to see which one works best. That's insane to me that they were like, we're not going to pay for them to be there. That's wild.

Starting point is 00:15:59 And I think that also shows how much he values their opinions and on top of that, just how much this project meant to him as well. Yeah, that's the reason why I complimented this on really great writing. Why? Because when they shot it, the writers were there.

Starting point is 00:16:13 I guarantee you, obviously, the last of what we see is not the final draft of the script. It was changing probably in the moment, so I really appreciate Reynolds for doing that. Dude, Ryan Reynolds, MVP of this. While filming Ryan Reynolds visited Sick Kids

Starting point is 00:16:29 via Make a Wish Foundation as Deadpool. Oh, I love that. Good guy. Such a sweet man. Us Canadians, we're just good people. I know. The half of the good half-rightners. The Deadpool costume originally had a muscle layer underneath, but it had to be removed.

Starting point is 00:16:45 Ryan Rounds was so muscular. The costume was not only too tight for him, but it made him look over large. That is such a fun fact. I love that. It's like too muscular. I love it. Damn it to my trainers.

Starting point is 00:16:58 So great. On April Fool's Day, 2015, Ryan Rounds posted on Twitter that the film would be rated PG-13, which prompted absolute fan backlash, as the Deadpool character often swears and commas. it's acts of graphic violence. Later that day, Reynolds confirmed that it was a complete prank

Starting point is 00:17:14 and the film would be rated R. They lost their minds again. I cannot imagine the hate comments he got. Did they not realize what day it was that he posted this? It's April 1st, if he posted any other day. It was a good joke. Good on Ryan. Good on Ryan.

Starting point is 00:17:34 We'll do like two or three more. I'm not going to go to the spoiler ones. No, no, no, we can't. Just in case there's. anything for Deadpool and Wolverine, or any other films pass this. I don't want to spoil Tara or myself. Ryan Reynolds kept his Deadpool costume after filming had completed. I would have done the same thing. Technically, he didn't ask to, nor did he give anyone the chance to take it from him. When Twainth Century Fox found out about this, the studio just let him keep it. Good.

Starting point is 00:17:58 Yeah. As they should. He paid for the writers to be there. You be it's his project, too. He deserved it. At around the 22-minute mark, after Vanessa and Wade have ski-balled and are trading in their winning tickets for prizes. A large stuffed dog wearing a Deadpool attire can be seen hanging behind the counter. This refers to dogpool, a canine version of Deadpool from an alternate universe. I did not even notice that. I didn't notice that. That's such a fun little fact. It's like a hidden Mickey. Yeah. Okay. Last two. In an interview writer Rhett Reese stated that Negasonic Teenage Warhead wasn't always intended to be in the film. Other X-Men such as Cannonball were considered, but they eventually used

Starting point is 00:18:37 Negasonic Teenage Warhead because they, and I quote, liked her name better. I agree. Me too. It's a great name. Yes, Negasonic Teenage Warhead. That's such a sick name. And I loved her character, too. She was great. So awesome.

Starting point is 00:18:52 Last one. In the trailer and in the film, Wade Wilson request, and I quote, don't make the supersuit green or animated. This is a reference, of course, to Ryan Brown's previous role as the DC superhero in the 2011 film Green Lantern,

Starting point is 00:19:09 whose green suit was a special effect rather than an actual costume for Reynolds to put on. Deadpool pokes even more fun at the costume in a deleted scene on the Blu-ray copy of the movie. I want to see that deleted scene. On the Blu-ray copy of what movie?

Starting point is 00:19:24 Deadpool. For this film. Oh, my God. You guys, I don't want to see Green Lantern. It's a special effect, his suit. No, thank you. I kind of want you to see. Just to react.

Starting point is 00:19:36 No, thank you. Yeah, I think it would. Let us know in the comments if you'd want to see that reaction. Maybe we don't give Tara. I mean, I would do it, but now I'm already mad. You know what?

Starting point is 00:19:44 Are you insane? I think sometimes not so great movies can make fun reactions just to see if someone has a different opinion on it or just to see like it's not a great movie. Let's just see their reaction. I mean, you all know I did my first solo reaction to the room. I did not. I did not. So good.

Starting point is 00:20:02 Yeah. Oh, hit John. Anyways. Yeah, again, I love this movie so much. I can't wait for our next one, which is X-Men Apocalypse, which came out a couple months after this film. So if you don't want to miss it, don't forget to. Ring the bell.

Starting point is 00:20:20 And you will not miss out on that reaction. And guys, if you have stayed on this long, we love you. We appreciate you so much. And we shall see you on the next one. Toots. Jones. If there's anyone at our Patreon page that reminds us of Deadpool,

Starting point is 00:20:42 it's you. Reason being you're totally going to get cancer one day. You are. You just freak of it and you're going to like I can spell. I bet I bet you even kind of look like way of else. I'm not talking Wade when it looks like Ryan Reynolds. Yeah, when he looks like the

Starting point is 00:20:57 post fire radiation. Yeah. That version. Like when I think of your face actually look like scrotal. Whenever I watch Deadpool and I see him out of mass, I'm like, so much like, oh, my God, when do pandemics start acting? I can't not see Pandemic Jones. That's Ryan Reynolds in makeup, which is basically pandemic. Now, you don't have a sense of humor.

Starting point is 00:21:20 No. You can't fight. You don't have a mass appeal. No, and you don't. You do look like cancer. And you do look like a radiation problem. So with that in mind, we deem you the Deadpool of our Patreon. You are the topographical map of Utah of this page.

Starting point is 00:21:36 He's got a girl on his photo with him. You think that's some celebrity or his girlfriend? See, that's Vanessa. Click it. All right. Who's Vanessa? Some Deadpool fan. You are.

Starting point is 00:21:49 Some fan of the pool. I know many real life. Yeah, you know, I know at least two, so I feel you. Don't worry. And then there's also the kingpin, Vanessa. That looks like somebody famous, honestly. It does look like somebody famous. Are we sure that's Pandemic Jones?

Starting point is 00:22:04 He doesn't like cancer. No. No, it's good there. No, but maybe that's like some kind of mask he got or something. Maybe he had like a prosthetic face arranged. Yeah, he's ashamed of his radiation. He could walk around in public. There's no way he looks like that.

Starting point is 00:22:16 Yeah, that's his real superhero mask is just like a silicone. It could just be a girlfriend. But kind of the background looks like some type of con event. I mean, it is like so crisp and just clean. And yeah, and it looks like, I don't know, you know, she's posing a few. If it is a celebrity, she looks awfully comfortable to be posing. She is kind of up on you. Celebrities don't pose a lot.

Starting point is 00:22:35 Especially women, you know. It's true. They don't want to be touched by anybody. Unless he was like, come here, sugar, stutz. He had her come in. Arm wrong. We're taking this here picture. Get on my arm.

Starting point is 00:22:46 That's where you live now. Anyway. I hope you're doing well. Be well, pandemic. Stay cancerous.
