PEDAL DOWN, VOLUME UP!! Baby Driver Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: ⁠  / thereelrejects  ⁠ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! ⁠https://www.rejectnationshop.com/�...�� With The Running Man starring Glen Powell releasing - , Aaron, Andrew, & Greg UNITE to give their Baby Driver Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Ending Explained & Spoiler Review! Aaron Alexander, Andrew Gordon & Greg Alba react to Baby Driver (2017), the stylish and adrenaline-fueled action crime thriller from acclaimed director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World). Known for its seamless mix of music, motion, and mayhem, Baby Driver delivers one of the most unique and rhythmically charged experiences in modern action cinema. The film stars Ansel Elgort (The Fault in Our Stars, West Side Story) as Baby, a getaway driver with unmatched skill behind the wheel who choreographs every heist to the beat of his personal soundtrack. His world spirals when he falls for Debora, a kind-hearted waitress played by Lily James (Cinderella, Yesterday), and dreams of escaping his life of crime. Kevin Spacey (American Beauty, House of Cards) plays Doc, the calculating mastermind who runs Baby’s crew, joined by Jon Hamm (Mad Men, The Town) as the dangerously unpredictable Buddy, Eiza González (Alita: Battle Angel, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire) as his partner Darling, and Jamie Foxx (Collateral, Django Unchained) as the volatile and menacing Bats. Iconic and highly searched moments include the opening car chase synced to “Bellbottoms”, the foot chase set to “Hocus Pocus”, the coffee run long take, and the final confrontation between Baby and Buddy. With its flawless editing, killer soundtrack, and visual rhythm, Baby Driver stands as a masterclass in sound design and cinematic movement — a modern cult classic that redefined the heist genre.

Like, you're zipping past, like rails. All right. So now she's going to drive just like him, right?
Starting point is 00:06:14 That's a good observation. I love how we're learning a lot about his personality through the music. Fleezingness Nice I don't know that is Want some red hot chili peppers How dare you? Get out of here
Starting point is 00:06:29 Damn, I could use a few of those If I recall correctly Edgar Wright wrote this to the song Like the soundtracks were in the scripts Damn, a lot of comic book actors Baby, full cut, same as everyone Doc, let me see Hey, that's offensive
Starting point is 00:06:49 He's a good kid and devil behind the wheel What the hell else more do you need to know So you don't think that there's something wrong with him. There's nothing wrong with a little quiet. You know why they call him baby, right? Still waiting on his first words. Dude, why does he care? You got away.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Are you a mute? They did his Punisher, boys. You a mute, Red? What are you listening to? That's right. You tell him, baby. For God's sakes, Griff. Leave the kid alone.

Starting point is 00:07:42 Sounds like you're envious. Hey. How many bears does he have? He's got a few on occasion for situations like this. Bill Pope is the cinematographer. That means how Spark. is going to be in here right in this elevator you think about that baby mommy and daddy are getting it on okay where do you get off uh here hmm i'm not used to john ham playing like this kind of

But not a baby. More fast approach from the day and you will be all paid up. Oh, he's got a debt. One more job and we're straight.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Sound good? Interested to know what that backstory is. These are for you. Hey. Now give me your burner. I'm going to need you behind the wheel again real soon. Call him there. What a nice flip because I thought he might be like surrogate father figure for a second.

Fox News, you know they're just spewing propaganda. Damn, he just says everything with such elegance and style, driving, cooking, signing.
Starting point is 00:09:19 That would annoy me. Bro, give him my goddamn sandwich. What is work? Sorry, I couldn't hear you have a banana in my ear. Also, I wonder if we're going to learn the history of those scars in his face or just character flourishes to show you his history. It means slow. It's a slow. That's great.

Starting point is 00:14:02 That's great. You got to let baby go even if he does this job? Because I don't believe it. There is like a classic noir heist element to it. Yeah, the style of the energy of this movie is just A1. Like, you feel it in every frame. Every motion as well. Questions?

Buddy. Come on, baby. Leave the baby in the car.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Bro, you crazy? Oh, no, you broke his iPad. His iPod. Okay. Wow, the franticness of this is so good. Yeah, Jamie Fox is too loose of a hothead. You can't keep him around. He's definitely very unpredictable and intense. I left my sock on behind. What? I left my shock behind. Bro, what?
Starting point is 00:18:30 Not groovy, Jamie at all. Groovy, baby, yeah. Kevin Spacey, where did you find these guys? Get down. Stay down, stay down. He's a head inside. Damn, I wish I could park like that. He didn't do a good parking job, though.
Starting point is 00:18:50 I'm talking about the drifting in. You would think he would do a good parking job. Look, he's not a stunt driver. He did a pre-competent job as an actor. I love the unexpected randomness of that guy just being there. You see JD over there? Now, J.D.'s an idiot. You're a bright boy, though.
Starting point is 00:19:07 So I got a question for you. Do you kill J.D? You make me miss that shot. Oh. I was trying to get us out of there. No. You're a good job. You're a bad liar, though.
Starting point is 00:19:17 The moment you catch feelings, there's a moment you catch a bullet. You feel the heat. You've got to get out in 10 seconds. It's got outer scars as well as internal scars for external. Routine disrupted. Wow. He's off his rhythm. Oh, you're looking for JD?
Starting point is 00:19:39 He's long gone by. He messed up quite a bit on the job. Let's put it down. We'll drink. Like, he's got no remorse. about it. I guess you catch feelings you catch a bullet. Oh, man's cold. This is it. I'm a man of my word.
Starting point is 00:19:53 How are you? Oh, it's JD's body. And you're all straight, baby. That's it? Sure is. Ooh. What? Yeah, well, before you go completely crazy. J.D. was a bad person? Damn.
Starting point is 00:20:11 How careless. Sunset that ride. Oh, wow. I guess when you feel on... careless to get those guys in the first place. When you feel untouchable, you do untouchable things. Yeah, you get cocky. Amazing match cut. Oh, PTSD.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Makes sense. Is that what you said? No, no, I just said music is escape for him and reminds him of his mom. Oh, is that the iPod that's broken? Yeah. Oh, no. Damn. Jesus, I didn't think of it show it.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Where's the Iron Giant? That's exactly what I was thinking. It's because it's so fresh in my mind. Right, he said, where is I'm like, he's going to say it? Everyone knows I'm a reference machine. I know. We saw Iron Giant recently. The gloves are off.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Is he like Sunday morning? I still wouldn't have left those there. I would have incinerated. I would have incinerated those personally, but, you know, baby's probably smarter than me, so what do I know? Freedom! Let me go see Jonathan at the diner now. You're back. You're leaving?
Starting point is 00:21:33 Yes, sir. Coffee? Please. Yeah, cream and sugar. Man. How you took it in a long? Good. It's sweet, isn't he?
Starting point is 00:21:41 Chemistry is electric. She's been coming here since before me. I think maybe his mom used to work here. Oh. Glad to answer that question, and it wasn't just randomly. You're just here. Your name?
Starting point is 00:21:52 Well, you can get that for free. It's Debbie. Deborah. Oh, that song. My mom's name was Bebara. I think your name takes it, Jenny. Jenny? He's so cute.
Starting point is 00:22:03 The song's about him wanting to get with Jenny and her sister, too, whose name is Deborah. So it's not even really about me. It's about the sister. Her sister's name is Mary. She has got all... Mary, where are you going to? Your parents were cruel to you.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Got endless songs. I got one. You got two. That's the other one. Deborah, the song I'm talking about. Who, by? T-brex? Uh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:27 I've heard of them, but don't know that one. How's it go? Oh, Deborah. Aw. Always look like a zebra. A zebra. I can see, bro, I guess. I'm wearing back and might, so you can call me Debra.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Yeah. What? How many of those do you have? Oh, I got different iPods for different days and mood. Aw. Oh. And you're in a pink and glittery mood. I am now.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Ooh. Smooth. What is your name? Baby. Wait, what? Your name's baby. B-A-B-Y baby. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:01 I'll be your baby. We could drive back and forth across the States forever and never run out of baby songs. We might run out of gas. Did your mom call you baby as a kid? Sometimes. She used to work here. Sometimes, but she was a singer, too. Soulmates.
Starting point is 00:23:18 What does she do now? Nothing. I could find a neighbor if you want. Debbie, crying out of my house. There's nobody at this diner, man. I play it for me sometime. I don't have to get out of here. Yeah, do.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Ask her out, man. You know what you want yet? To get out of here. Ooh. I hope both of your pods get all the instruments. I do like it. Good. Wow, beautiful in the background.
Starting point is 00:23:45 That's, ah. From here? I love that. How to make a scene more vibrant. You're from here. You're a driver. You like music. You don't talk much.
Starting point is 00:23:55 No. I've spoken more to you today than I have tenuant all year. Whoa. And you're still smooth. It's adorable. She helps him open up, feel his feelings. I have this hearing thing. I was in an accident when I was little.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Is that what happened to your mom? Yeah. Yeah, my dad. I miss her. She's very forward about that. I'm sorry. No, don't be. I live with my foster dad, but now he's getting old.
Starting point is 00:24:16 So it's more like I'm looking after it. Oh, my God, no, the black guy's the savior. It might seem tough now. Once they're gone, you'll miss having someone to care for. Know that feeling. I don't have much to keep me here anymore. You know? We could get together some other time, some other place.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Laundromat is so exciting. Oh, well, we could go to a buccanilla. I've never been. I hear it's nice. The hell's a buccanillion. It's the finest wine in the dining of all the wines and dines in town. That is nice. guessing it's a wine and dine place what about next week what's your schedule like because she's smitten

But there's still running time left in the film. Good fellas. No, I said, we already mentioned casino earlier.
Starting point is 00:25:31 You could be a delivery driver? With music. Oh, when you drive? I mean, he would bring people pizza faster than Spider-Man. It's the same cinematographer, Greg, as Spider-Man, too. I wonder if I'm correct about that. You probably are. Nice transition.
Starting point is 00:25:53 I'm getting the shirt. It's going to be faster than little narrows. Whoa. That was fast. I know. He's bringing such joy to the world. Oh, man, that is nowhere near as much money. Yeah, but it's an honest living.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Deborah. Ooh. Damn, he really wanted and dying her tonight. Are he's a responsible drinker? I like how so much is being said without being said through visual narration. You're all good. A gentleman pick this up already. Please tell me it wasn't Kevin Spacey.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Of course. And now he's got a one-up on him because of the woman that he's infatuated with. Shit. Leave him alone. He just wants to live a normal life. I really thought. this was over with. Good meal, baby. That's what about terrain is something, huh?
Starting point is 00:26:50 Why would he reel and back in? I said we were straight, but did you think we were done? But that was it? Yeah, he didn't respond directly to what you said.

Starting point is 00:58:50 Dude, just do the Morgan Freeman speech, Shawshank. I don't give a shit, and you'll get out. You got a letter, kid. Oh. Even though I heard it so many times in the court case, I still can't get used to the fact
Starting point is 00:59:02 that your real name is Miles. Oh, finally. That's fitting. I can think of a lot of great Miles songs, but we still have to get through all those baby songs first. I can't wait until the day when it's just us.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Music and the road. That's the one in the diner. See you later, baby. All my love. Oh, such a cool shot. Oh, it's real. Yeah, it's sweet.
Starting point is 00:59:30 That's great. Awesome transition from black and white to color. Five years on the rainbow in the background. Nice. He's a little rain before you get a rainbow. God dang. That is a beautiful. beautiful car but she is much finer
Starting point is 00:59:47 wow what a cut to credits that was all righty I'll be $1,000 yeah I'll pay even chocolate kisses you've seen the movie so I had no memory I literally
Starting point is 01:00:04 did not know he was going to survive that you paid me for you played me for a fool I don't want to hear it the one thing I did remember was people saying John Bernthal never comes back you played me for a fool You didn't know that? I was quiet the whole time
Starting point is 01:00:18 to like right to the end where you were like $1,000. I was like, take the bed here. When you said that, when you said that was like shit. Right when you said that was like I was kind of worried you were going to be like so disappointed by him not going to back.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Such an odd. Here's the only thing I knew outside of the movie is that apparently John Bernthal hated working with Kevin Spacey because he thought he was an asshole. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, fun.
Starting point is 01:00:42 He thought he was a dick on set. That's why he didn't come back. Because it kind of seems like him and his bats were like a similar character. Oh, for sure. Eddie, right before scenes, Randy's like, I'm not coming back. Sorry. Just good with what you already got. He said, yeah, if you don't see me again, it means I'm dead.
Starting point is 01:00:59 I guess he died. Yeah. He's going to be in the sequel. They did, like, linger on him there for a while. So I was... I mean, this movie has a lot of subversion of expectations. The rug is pulled under you a lot, or from under you, rather. And so him not coming back is not.
Starting point is 01:01:16 that's surprising actually no when i think about it oh he said that the tell oh they didn't even know all this they said oh my god you on i or tina too is watching monsters ink wow i didn't even pick up on any of that wait when they say you grow up so freaking fast he said that to the woman dolly oh yeah that's right that's right nothing is more important there yeah and they said it's bloody but relent is that like john ham's character like gaston is running out of time just that's what he said now i must try to end this on foot that's what he was that's crazy great foreshadowing good callbacks of lines edgar wright very well done great film and you cost me a thousand dollars edgar wright nice job wow wow wow i guess kevin spacy being a dick on set
Starting point is 01:02:05 cost me a thousand dollars i don't know either one okay you guys thank you so much for watching this reaction if you're listening to synoppler spotify please go and give us Five mother freaking stars. Also, we want to thank the people over at Prepa for cutting down these highlights. So you can see them here on YouTube. Also, make sure your comment, I like, you subscribe, ring the freaking bell. Don't ring it like to Nidus. All right, we got some questions that are going to be segmented in levels of importance, deeper questions, fun facts, or fun questions and little trivia's and whatnot.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Before we get into, we're going to give our quick thoughts before we jump into the review. Yeah, we're going to start off with Andrew. I'll give fast thoughts because I want to be fast like baby, but actually I'm probably going to be slow. I really enjoyed this movie a great deal. I like, I think the performance by I don't know the actors. He plays baby, but he was great. I love how subtle he was, how quiet the character is.
Starting point is 01:03:05 And I think that goes to a great deal to his personality. And I think him being so quiet and subtle and the way his music also speaks to his personality and his charm as well. It gives the film a lot of emotional grounding. And I think that was such a fascinating choice and the trauma he's been through in his life and that he chooses to zone out and go to an escape into his music. And I think that's so fascinating
Starting point is 01:03:33 because before I became a social butterfly myself, I would really escape into my music. And I still find times where I do that. As I've pointed out many times, movie music and 80s for me. That's my jam. So I really resonated with doing that. And I really loved the performance as well from Lily James. I don't think I've really seen her in anything before this.
Starting point is 01:03:56 To be quite honest, if I have, I'm zoning out. But I feel like I would remember her. She's got a face. I feel like I would not forget, or her personality. I think she was very charming in this film as well. I thought she was very warm and welcoming, and especially with baby's character. I mean, he's really on a self-healing journey as well as a redemption journey in this film.
Starting point is 01:04:15 So I think the fact that she was someone who was there for him emotionally and someone that he could go to and be expressive and could feel his feelings towards, I think was such a beautiful match made in heaven and that they could find coddling with each other with music and just the way they just had so much in common. And I think their chemistry was really electric. I feel both of them were so mesmerizing on screen together. and I really dug the film. I thought the pacing was very frenetic, but at the same time, while it was extremely fast-paced, it was very easy to stay on as well,
Starting point is 01:04:55 not get lost in the speed of the film. So I dug the film a great deal. It might be recency biased, but it might be my favorite Edgar Wright film. I have not seen all his films, but I enjoyed this a great deal. It was very smart, quick-witted, fast-paced, And I think it was, I like the complexities and the deep exploration of these characters, I thought was really great.
Starting point is 01:05:19 And also, I love how unhinged and psychotic Jamie Fox. When we first met Jamie Fox, I really thought his character is just, he's just this throwaway character, not throwaway character, but rather this guy who's just, he's the bad guy on here. And that's it. I didn't think too much of him. And then the more we got in, I'm like, holy shit, he is so unhinged and so relentless. and he's really like I don't know how unpredictable he is I don't know what he's going to do next and that keeps me on my toes and edge as an audience member so I can only imagine it for a character who's got to interact with him you don't know what he's going to do next and that's a very scary feeling so as you can tell I hated the film I loved it was great definitely Greg my ears kind of hurting like from the head film tonight is oh no it's my voice I have a slight idea of a small kid I just like it's really I usually have to sleep but a little something odd because yeah I have a constant ring in my ear
Starting point is 01:06:18 but it's really frustrating it's just it's not like this where it's very clear it's but if it is like completely silent I can hear it anyway yeah Aaron I watched the other outside of Scott Pilgrim versus the world I think this would be outside of last night in Soho this I've seen every movie of his now on this channel as I've watched Scott Pilgrim versus the world here. It's a fascinating trajectory looking at what Edgar Wright has done because the trilogy of films he did with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are rifts on the genre in a way that is very homage-like, you know, a little spoof-like. They are their own films and at the world's end demonstrates
Starting point is 01:07:07 noises right I just hearing the noise the cup movement I'm just hearing that so much but the the world's end is the
Starting point is 01:07:20 is the one that I thought demonstrated the most like dramatic maturity for sure of his and Scott Pilgrim versus the world I felt like in the finale parts of it I was kind of like
Starting point is 01:07:30 yeah this seems like it's going on a little too long for me whereas this one man I love Scott Billgan versus the world I'm wrong I love I love pretty much all the movies he's done. And this one is one he wrote and directed himself. It is entirely original.
Starting point is 01:07:47 And it's cool because it is essentially a riff on a lot of these getaway driver movies. I was recalling how this came out relatively around the same time as the movie Drive, which is again another one that's a riff on it, but in a very different type of tempo and stuff. speed this is a classic example of that of the getaway driver and fantasies and they and slowly flipping on its head but I wasn't as hyper aware of the tropes during this experience I feel like they get a lot of that out of the way in the first 30-ish minutes of the film around that point when I was going to what the hell is the plot in this movie going to be because it seems like he's done
Starting point is 01:08:29 now so when it kept going in the latter half a lot of that originality really began to sing And this is one of those films where the star of the movie would really like the highlighting of the directing and the editing. Really, this script, though, seems like that's where the foundation of this needed to be cemented because so much of the exciting turns that happened, the bad guy trope was the one that was so unexpected. The way it was kind of like hot potato with bad guy. First, it seems like Kevin Spacey, you're the full-on bad guy. And then, okay, looks like it's going to be Jamie.
Starting point is 01:09:05 Fox now but they set up enough of buddy John Hamm early on in the diner to let you know he's a little bit on hinge too he can be a little bit crazy and they really set up how much John Ham and Isaac Gonzalez love the shit out of each other so when that turn happens it's going to make a lot of sense
Starting point is 01:09:20 and it is you know baby is responsible for a good like he did botch the job and landed them in that position and then John Hamm is and then by the time John Ham shows up in the finale Kevin Spacey's not doing something good and you're like what the hell why am I liking Kevin Spacey now?
Starting point is 01:09:36 Like the way it plays with all that was done in very surprising ways whilst being a hyper cool edited movie where the music is a character in it of itself that is often dictating the emotional state of the character, whether that be the way he's doing it with his father or just in the car ride or taking a walk. I think it's an amazingly composed film. I still feel like I would edge out Sean of the Dead
Starting point is 01:10:06 as my favorite one of his movies. But this is a really, really, really close second, I would say. And for the longest time, I did see this years ago. I mean, he didn't stick with me because I remembered this movie being so hyped but me not being as enamored with it. I mean, eight years ago, it was a very different human being.
Starting point is 01:10:28 I feel like I'm a completely different person like every two years. And to watch it now, I loved it. I thought this was like an expert crafting film right down to the very end because at the end of the day, baby was a criminal
Starting point is 01:10:42 and consequences need to be paid. So I like that everyone suffers consequences for their actions, including our main character. He gets to pay his dues and still get the reward, but he also gets to pay his consequences simultaneously. So yeah, I thought it was like a pretty
Starting point is 01:10:58 near-perfect experience of a movie. I thought it was near-perfect. I still haven't seen drive. I've got to see them. Yeah, it's really one of my favorites. I didn't know this. Yeah, I just echoed your sentiments. I also really love the movie.
Starting point is 01:11:11 I thought it did a really great job of being a movie that utilized its screen time extremely well. It was extremely well-paced. The performances from everybody were in tone with the script and in tone with the rhythm of this movie. Kevin Spacey, you kind of said it early on, had that almost like a musical tone to him. as well whenever he was speaking and the dialogue which is so snappy the chemistry between our two leads was incredible and even though we didn't know too much about deborah you felt how much she loved baby and he felt how much he loved her in the end and yeah all these different pieces that were placed throughout the course of the movie and how they were interwoven into this beautiful tabestry that was conceived from the moment that i don't know edgar i wrote it but all also just these things that you can catch in the moment, but also one of those things that make it endlessly rewatchable because there's these little details you're going to catch
Starting point is 01:12:11 with every subsequent viewing. And every semblance of action that sort of showed up on screen had this fluidity to it and this energy that was also musical in and of itself. And I really appreciated it for that. And I also appreciated the variety of music, the way that you're able to make something that is so in tandem with one another. And obviously we become accustomed to living in a world where, you know, James Gunn is very big on putting music in his movies.
Starting point is 01:12:43 And it's so interesting seeing a movie revolve around that, not only because something that the main character does, but clearly this is something that Edgar Wright loves. And I'd be curious to see, like, something that's behind the scenes of this or, like, what inspired Edgar Wright, to write this not only about his love for the genre but the love for the music choices that he created over the course of the movie. So yeah, I really, really enjoyed it
Starting point is 01:13:11 and I'm excited to get into the questions. For sure, I was just going to say I can really tell, and this is not a far-fetched comment that most people love Terminator 2 Judgment Day, but I can really tell Edgar Wright loves Terminator 2 Judgment Day and that makes me appreciate him a great deal. Hell yeah. Appreciate it all those visual references.
Starting point is 01:13:28 he was giving us from the stepping on the sunglasses to the final shot in Terminator 2 driving into the unknown void of the road and some of those other shots was like, good man, Edgar, right? Good man. I need to rewatch Terminator 2. You really do need to.
Starting point is 01:13:42 It's a movie that everyone should rewatch five or ten times a year, and I think Greg would agree with that. I would. All right, guys, we're going to get into the Patreon questions now, so let's get it started. Jaden Rhodes,
Starting point is 01:13:54 thank you for setting another question, man. This movie uses music to mix in with certain stuff like gunshots is amazing it's my favorite thing about this movie do y'all really like that or do you um sorry do you all really like that or do but i'm not sure how you couldn't uh Greg yeah i think the way it's infused is great because it there are directors who like to write to songs right to music you just cited james gunn quentin tarentino often has tracks in mind to before he makes certain films sometimes though it can feel stylish in a distracting way sometimes
Starting point is 01:14:40 uh the first one yeah yeah it's the best movie ever what are you guys talking about the yeah the david one in a sense yeah that was a very studio one though i'm talking sometimes a director can make that choice where like I get it you're it's cool and it's it's stylish but it's self-indulgent to the point where it's kind of distracting and it feels like surface and that's why I wanted to make sure to highlight
Starting point is 01:15:06 Edgar Wright's writing first and foremost because the cherry on top is his brilliant we all know he's like a brilliant director and a and works great with his cinematographers like this is a beautifully shot film beautiful looking film and these music
Starting point is 01:15:23 sequences in particular are using a variety of demonstrating who the characters are, telling you the emotion about the scene, allowing to be backdrops for the visual language like when the characters are falling in love with each other, his relationship with Joe, but then also to enhance action scenes. You know,
Starting point is 01:15:38 I like when the gunshots are timed to the music itself. It's almost like a music video, so it makes it kind of transportive, but I was never going, wow, style, you know. I was in the story the whole time. Yeah. And that's the hardest thing. I think to accomplish when you are this good at style
Starting point is 01:15:58 for sure is being distracting with your style and I've I didn't ever and especially like the last hour 30 minutes of this film or something you know like this movie's almost two hours and and I'd say like a good three-fourths of it the last three-fourths I was just enamored with the story it's like truly enveloped and the music's there the whole time so I think the the music reels you in more versus going, look at me, you know?
Starting point is 01:16:27 Yeah. Well, first, what I will say is release the air cut. And then second, after that, I will say, I think music should be expressive of how the characters are feeling, first and foremost. And I think this movie does a great job of that. And I think also what this movie does a great job, allowing you to get inside the head of baby.
Starting point is 01:16:45 And I feel like every song was really doing a good job, whether that was an actual gunshot, or what's that thing called? called with the thing you have, Tinnitus. All those were being very, like allowing us the audience to literally go inside baby's head. And I've had times where it could even be during a reaction, could be during a baseball lesson, could be driving a car.
Starting point is 01:17:08 I am literally hearing music inside my head sometimes and I'm not even listening to music. So I think that Edgar Wright did such a brilliant job of actually putting us inside of baby's head. And I found that to be so damn creative and so fascinating. And I love that choice to do that. Yeah, no, I thought it was great. I really loved the music and the way it was paired in the movie. You know, it's an extension of, of baby himself.
Starting point is 01:17:35 And the way that we were able to, yeah, be inside of his head really worked for me. And the restraint that Edgar Wright had shown over the course of the movie, his indulgence is love, but also his restraint and not going overboard and kind of being like, look how cool the song is. that every song had purpose, and I really appreciated it. So, yeah, I thoroughly enjoyed it. That's the difference between Aguirreight and me. I would have been, like, look how cool this song is, because I'm arrogant like that. Smart man.
Starting point is 01:18:06 All righty. Jay Rushden, what up, Jay? Thank you so much for being a Royal Reject, and we're asking the question. We appreciate you. Question. What is your favorite music in the film here? I would go with tequila,
Starting point is 01:18:20 just because I'm always in the mood to drink, so I would say that one. and that's just such a catchy tune. What about you? And also, I think, like, with the explosion that happened, right? And all the characters literally went tequila. I think that was just such a bombastic and cool note to end that scene with that note. So in saying that word.
Starting point is 01:18:37 So I like that song. What about you guys? I think my favorite song in the movie is like Sunday morning. It's just a classic. But I think the one that works, the best as far as it being in tandem with the movie, was the one during the first car chase, or baby singing the word. and the editing that's played there. I don't know the name of that song,
Starting point is 01:18:56 but I thought it was really, yeah, really effective. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Frank's figuring his out right now. There it is. I'm figuring out at Aaron's song. It's Bell bottoms. Okay, Bell bottoms. Yep.
Starting point is 01:19:11 We'll have to listen to that one later. When the baby is running. Oh, that was a good one. Hocus, Pocus by Focus. I like, damn. That's a good one, say that one. I think the one I'm not going to forget, though, is the Deborah one. Debra, Zebra.
Starting point is 01:19:31 Because the emphasis on lyrics and I'm terrible at remember people's names to begin with, much less a character's name. And when I was like, what's her name? And then I would remember the scene. And so it actually, like, stuck with me. This movie does a really good job at getting you to remember. Like, they kind of repeated enough in certain ways and added enough emphasis on nicknames. and why to get you to recall who is who in a really good point really good way i will vouch for gregg the first time he interacted with me via social media after we had met he called me
Starting point is 01:20:05 aaron so i was up he does not remember names well sometimes that's funny all right oh yeah uh mike loxley if you had to pick a skill like this but it comes with the drawback what would you choose i already have to deny this so i'll take some sweet driving skills who what skill would I pick I got so many skills I don't quite get the question
Starting point is 01:20:30 like if you could have any sort of like a skill you don't currently possess but there's like a drawback to whatever that skill is like his is like thriving but you know having the tinnitus or like
Starting point is 01:20:41 I would be okay with losing my sense of smell so I can be sick at guitar okay all right I would lose my sense of feeling and so I could be sick at knowing the lottery ticket numbers. That'd be cool with that.
Starting point is 01:21:00 All right. And I'm going to get stretchy powers and I can't get an erection. All right. You guys are willing to sacrifice. I'm horrible. What's the point of getting stretchy powers? If you can't get an erection, why would you want to win the lottery if you can't have feelings? Well, I can't feel.
Starting point is 01:21:17 That means I can get really drunk and I can't throw up. This is a good thing, Greg. I can celebrate my billions of physical feeling. Okay, I can be translucent. Not being nauseous anymore. Weird sacrifices.
Starting point is 01:21:32 I'm just thinking on the spot, I'd have to really think about this question. I'll answer in the comments when I think deeply about this. How much do you value your sense of smell? Not much. Okay, that's an easy sacrifice for you. Who said it had to be a hard sacrifice? Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:21:50 I'm sure tonight is, I mean, you have it. So, you know, I don't have to that degree where I need to drown it out constantly. Fair. But I do hate pure silence because of that. Damn. All right. Well, we picked our things. What are you guys' things?
Starting point is 01:22:03 What would you guys sacrifice? Love to hear. Resonant Z. What's up, dog? I've been had. Me too. By him. What do you mean this movie isn't about a guy driving a baby around?
Starting point is 01:22:21 I thought this was going to be Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, Steve Goodenberg, and Ted Danson just driving babies around. I mean, if, you know, they listen to Jamie Fox, it would have been that. It would have been a very different trajectory of the movie. But all kidding aside, I do love this movie. More of a silly question, but everybody in the crew had code names to protect their identities. If you were part of a crew, what would your code name? Movie reference.
Starting point is 01:22:49 That's your code name? Yeah. That's a long code. code name all right reference what's your code name it's a pretty cool name reference reference all right my looking at me like how dare you pick that my code name would be if you if yours comes to mine first area like quote i'd call you quote quote quote is pretty cool okay quotes a cool adjective yeah that's tough I don't know we small this guy's a big fan of sandlot
Starting point is 01:23:22 you know make an ironic name called Mel Gibson so Mel Gibson Greg we're gonna fight right after this man Roxy and I'll take you on though I do love him he's a great actor so your your reference
Starting point is 01:23:36 your Mel Gibson a Mel Gibson smalls give me back my name Greg Resident Z what's your nickname man? Thank you for sending in the fun question Alan Smithy thank you Alan for being a royal reject and for asking us
Starting point is 01:23:51 question we appreciate it hey gregg andrew and erin hey helen hope you loved baby driver what is your favorite song or piece of music in the daily soundtrack of your own life like when you're driving around what music are you blasting i'm a beastie boys fan because i'm rhyming and stealing thanks rejects you guys want to take this away first you want me to go you know it really varies depending on my mood. So lately I've been listening to a lot of Laughfully because she's been a great rotation in my list. But honestly, the one I keep coming back to
Starting point is 01:24:29 is probably Hamilton. I listen to Hamilton a lot. The songs are so fun. You give me those quotes in the past before Greg and I react. I'm like, I don't know what you're referencing or singing right now. You're like, one day you will. Now I'm like, okay, now I understand this.
Starting point is 01:24:43 It's good to know. Hamilton on long drives always listen to the song. song non-stopped and My Shot and Theodosia, all the songs. Those are my go-toes. What's you, man? Lately, I've been really in a glass animals. And, you know, like my favorite artist are Eminem and Red Hot Chili Peppers. But in terms of like when I'm exercising, which is pretty much the only time I'm listening to music, I don't really listen to music in the car.
Starting point is 01:25:12 The only time I'm really listening to music is when I'm working out. And I find myself listening to either one of those artists or, funny enough, the Hampton String Quartet, they do, like, orchestral tributes to popular songs. That sounds good. And also a good amount of Lady Gaga randomly. Really? Yeah. He's a big fan of Joker, if all I do. That's why.
Starting point is 01:25:39 That's why. I like hocus pocus by focus. That's a good side. No, I've told you guys before. I love movie music. I think I'm going to echo Aaron's sentiments that it really depends on my mood. I could be Danny Elfman, could be Hans Zimmer, could be the greatest of all time. Mr. John Williams, I do need to listen to Alfred Newman, who apparently is one of the greatest composers of all times.
Starting point is 01:26:03 Got to listen to some of his music for sure. 80s music, I've been listening to a lot of thriller by Michael Jackson lately, but also it's because I just recently watched one of my favorite comedies, which I hope Greg allows to. become a reaction on this channel that's the 1984 film Revenge of the Nerds and there is a great needle drop of that song in that film and a great scene of that film of that song rather in that film so yeah definitely been listening to that song
Starting point is 01:26:26 so it just depends on my mood what I'm feeling so yeah sweet do you guys think there's any areas for improvement in this movie um it's tough because I'm someone who normally really values like character depth
Starting point is 01:26:43 but I felt like the type of story that we had I think that the intention behind character depth is to get inside the mind of the character and to understand and empathize with them
Starting point is 01:26:52 a little bit more maybe see yourself in these characters but I feel like this movie did a good job of getting you on that side of
Starting point is 01:27:00 the characters without having to go too deep into what their stories were I would have liked a little bit more info about Lily James and like her
Starting point is 01:27:08 what it's not the type of movie but you know it's not an everyday thing you ride or die with a guy who was like a little bit a criminal and you see him shoot somebody
Starting point is 01:27:16 like yeah I think I'm still right with this guy he lied about his name and everything else about him but you know I love him so we're gonna do it but you know I think about their chemistry was so palpable it makes it believable but outside of that I didn't really have any issues I think you loved it yeah I totally agree with you
Starting point is 01:27:32 I think you guys know what level of improvement I would have liked definitely a little more John Bernthal would have saved me a thousand bucks at least but having said that I really enjoyed this film right now in thinking about and I don't think there's too much more. There was one thing I did not touch upon that I thought was great.
Starting point is 01:27:50 Greg made an excellent point earlier and when he was talking about how there's a subversion of expectations when it comes to who you think the main villains are and then they keep swapping it out, which I think was so brilliantly done by Edgar Wright. It's Kevin Spacey. It's John Bernthal. It's Jamie Fox.
Starting point is 01:28:07 And then you got John Hamm and Isaac Gonzalez. And what I loved about Isaac Gonzalez and John Ham's character is they are actually well whereas John Bernthal and Jamie Fox are ostracizing and getting on baby because he's very reserved and quiet and not very socially and socially awkward and so they're getting on him for that whereas John Hammam and Isaac Gonzalez they respect him and they're kind him and welcoming to him and then to see that shift into a very climactic and combative way of what happens the job is botched. I'm like it actually like it sucks and it's tragic,
Starting point is 01:28:48 but it was such a really well done way that I didn't write a way see coming, but then when it happens, it's like, wow, that was that was really well executed. And it's, it's tragic to see, even though they are the villains, of course, you know that shit was going to go down. But I like that there was that contrast
Starting point is 01:29:08 between Jamie Fox, Kevin Spacey, and John Bernthal, the way they treated him in the way these two and then how this is the final villain towards him in terms of because of this vendetta he has
Starting point is 01:29:20 that he's with baby being responsible for taking out his woman with the cops and all that so I thought that was just brilliantly executed did you have any issues I would agree with you on the Lily James side because I do feel like every character here
Starting point is 01:29:36 has depth except the female characters I think Isaac Gonzalez lacks depth I feel like we learned a lot about John Bernthal, even if it's not fully confirmed. I think we got enough, I feel like what makes Jamie Fox effective is that you don't learn a lot about him. You just have
Starting point is 01:29:52 ideas and you learn about him through his actions more. Whereas with Isaac Gonzalez, she's the girlfriend, you know, and she gets off on when he gets violent for her in the name of her. Yeah. Outside of that, you know, she doesn't really get
Starting point is 01:30:09 to be a character. And she's just like literally the woman are there for the men in this movie. True. And I think that we missed an opportunity there for... I really didn't notice it too much about Lily James until you pointed that out. I was like, huh, weird.
Starting point is 01:30:22 I didn't really notice it, but then I was thinking about it when you said it. I'm like, oh, yeah, you're right. So those would probably be the only two elements. I was initially going to... When I was watching this, sometimes when we watch these movies, I'll be having a thought that I'll go, oh, yeah, remember to say that when we're reviewing the movie. and initially I was going to point out Jamie Fox feeling too comically bad guy at first
Starting point is 01:30:48 because he wasn't scary or menacing at first he just seemed like to just like so one hinge and I don't know why anyone would ever work with this guy he's supposed to be a professional it just kills all the time yeah like at any random moment how could you ever who would work with this guy so I had like questions about why someone as smart as Kevin Spacey would do that but gets the job done and the latter half after killing all the people with the guns the the the arms dealers he started getting really scary and and i started really liking what he was doing in the yeah so that criticism went away yeah that tells me he's a guy you don't say no to there's a point in the movie we're like i have a prediction about kevin space but then
Starting point is 01:31:26 you're like i'll reserve it because i don't want to predict her in the movie do remember what it was yeah and it didn't come true you should have made a thousand dollar back i could have said it because it was my prediction was going to be that Kevin, I 100% just don't recall so much of this. I thought it was going to be Kevin Spacey was hiring Jamie Fox and Jamie Fox would take out.
Starting point is 01:31:48 I thought Jamie Fox was going to kill John Hammond. That's what I thought was going to happen. I thought like that was the whole thing was he was set, that's why Kevin Sparcy was working with him because he was hired to take them out after the job, which there wasn't even a hint of that in the era. You and I
Starting point is 01:32:04 were on the same. You and I were on the same board. I was thinking the same thing. Yeah. Yeah. That was my one thing. I like that he pulled this up. I don't, I don't mind that Bernthal was barely in it. I feel like weirdly it made more of an impression that he was barely in this movie.
Starting point is 01:32:18 I kept thinking about him throughout. So I... He's a great act. We love him. If he wasn't famous, we wouldn't have thought about it. Yeah. Because he's famous, we thought about it. And I love how he has a mysterious cameo appearance. And then you go, I guess his character died. And when
Starting point is 01:32:34 you kept seeing them swap out different crews it makes sense too that he doesn't come back it's just it's interesting because it didn't seem like his character and and jami fox's character were two different not really seem like they're kind of hot heads yeah i could have also seen like they're they're secretly friends and then he was coming back like because this is the big score you're not leaving me out of this and they're really friends and like he told him about the job i thought something like that was coming but apparently kevin space he's a dick on set so yeah which we're reading in front of us that's why I guess he wasn't in here.
Starting point is 01:33:07 He was written out of the movie because he hated working Kevin Spacey. But yeah. But it's fortunate that his last line is if you don't see me. It means I'm dead. They probably wrote that because he was like, all right. We know he hates working with this guy. So we'll just like get him out here. I'd be curious to know if luck just turned out that way.
Starting point is 01:33:25 Yeah. You know, sometimes you do get lucky with that where they just happen to have this vinyl line or. I don't like how to this. This is unfortunately the first example that comes to. mind sad one is the the actor chance on gen v how they establish his character in season one has a thing that could kill him in his brain so when the actor unfortunately died they happened to have a narrative that set up to say goodbye to his character yeah you know so sometimes something does happen where oh well we actually have something we could use yeah they used it and i was like it's unfortunate but it was smart for sure they had no idea that that would be the thing that they would use i would agree with you guys but i never seen it so i don't know what you're talking about oh yeah we answered we answered okay i think we have one last thing right i think we answered we answered we answered them all
Starting point is 01:34:20 we did them all all right you guys well that'll be it for us today you guys thank you so much for watching our baby driver reaction let us know your additional thoughts in the comments how do you feel and also what's your favorite heist movie we're going to speed on out of here and until next time.
