Roxy Striar & John Humphrey react to Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011), the thrilling action-adventure mystery sequel directed by Guy Ritchie (Snatch, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.). Following the massive success of Sherlock Holmes (2009), this second chapter ups the stakes as the world’s greatest detective faces his most dangerous adversary yet — the brilliant and deadly Professor Moriarty. The film stars Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man, Tropic Thunder) as Sherlock Holmes, once again blending razor-sharp intellect with unorthodox heroics, and Jude Law (The Talented Mr. Ripley, Captain Marvel) as the ever-loyal Dr. John Watson, now torn between friendship and his new marriage. Jared Harris (Mad Men, Chernobyl) delivers a chilling performance as Professor James Moriarty, Holmes’ intellectual equal and moral opposite, whose sinister plot threatens all of Europe. With its stylized action, sharp humor, and impeccable chemistry between Downey Jr. and Law, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows remains a masterclass in clever filmmaking and blockbuster storytelling.

I don't know anything. I've been looking for him for over a year. It's clear that your brother loves you. So he would never send you a message that would put you in harm's way.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Any information, therefore, would be by default, unintentional. Uh-oh. So the brother was one delivering the message. Just a few drawings. Let's just see what they have to tell us. Not the one the message was going to. Yeah, because it was supposed to be as. Because it was that whole ruse about make sure it gets to the, say it got to the sister.

Starting point is 01:03:18 Wow. Jesus, this is where the summit is happening. Holy crap. Look at that waterfall. The fact is it's going to happen whether we like it or not. Everyone has already arrived. Although these gentlemen may be talking peace,
Starting point is 01:03:31 believe me, they're readying their armies at home. To cancel the summit now would be tantamantal war. You should take the meeting naked. You don't understand the delicacy of the situation. I passed the telegram onto my superiors, but they're the ones who brought Mariati in to advise on the peace process in the first place. Christ the Lord. He's one of our foremost intellectuals.
Starting point is 01:03:49 He's a personal friend of the Prime Minister, as we all know that. I believe you. But where's your evidence? Shit. He's too good to leave evidence. They all are. Oh, he's alive. You'll find one.

Starting point is 01:04:33 I had my suspicions, but having seen who would be attending, I'm now certain. we know who to look out for Renee will be the evidence if we can find him and stop him we will perhaps not only save his life but prevent the collapse of Western civilization Wow
Starting point is 01:04:48 Jesus Christi No pressure That's interesting I thought this movie was like kind of tying down And we're ramping up Yeah man It's got a whole two hours left
Starting point is 01:04:57 This is a four hour mystery Zach Snyder's Sherlock Holmes I kind of remember the last one Being like an hour 45 Did I make that up? I feel like it was a bit on the tight side, but then again. For all we know, the rest of the half an hour stars Rachel McAdams. That's right.
Starting point is 01:05:20 She swoops in, does everything single-handedly. Professor James Moriarty. Oh. Big Jimmy. Big Jimmy in the hose? Professor James Moriarty, also known as Big Jimmy, also known as Shifty M. Now we're all present, I can tell you that the targets are the German chancellor and his ambassador, the French prime minister, and his man. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 01:05:45 Prince Michael, who's a cousin of the Tsar and the Russian ambassador, the Archdeu Kahl Ludwig, and the Austro-Hungarian ambassador. Ludwig. And the British ambassador. You'll choose a moment when all the dignitaries are assembled, preferably standing still. Is it to be an official photograph? Indeed, yes. In 38 minutes. Dude, the clock's ticking.

Starting point is 01:06:17 It does feel like she has been placed as like the, yeah, the formidable female lead who can keep up with Sherlock's antics. But I'm not there. No. I mean, I like her, and she's a cool character, but yeah, not as a replacement for Irene. But you don't see what you're looking for. He can do all these disguises, but he couldn't cover his black eye.
Starting point is 01:06:42 He ran out of brilliance for the day. I thought you'd never ask. He is. Over my shoulder. Young man, German uniform, ceremonial sword. Got him. Professional opinion. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 01:06:54 Major injury. Excellent repair work. Hey. Dr. Hoffman style. You did say he was at the forefront of medical innovation. Dang. We've already seen an example of his skills. Crazy lenses.
Starting point is 01:07:09 Those twins weren't to twins. Oh. What? My suspicions were aroused in Hyreborn when one failed to go to see it to the other. Wow. Notice a discreet but unmistakable puckering behind the air where his skin had been drawn back. I should have realized them that they were a surgical experiment. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:07:28 I did not expect that. To see if it is possible to make one man look like another. Cool. His face is no longer his own. One better way to guarantee. as world war than to make the assassin a different person
Starting point is 01:07:41 what are the ambassadors Jesus Christ disguised to a whole new level you and sin shall find her brother this is some dark passage shit you know my methods
Starting point is 01:07:55 so could Irene be a different actress now too that's right he surgically changed her face to be Numeripas other way who taught you how to dance you did

Starting point is 01:19:37 I'm really bored. I'm very upset right now, John. You know I miss him, too, in my own way. Same. In a way where I don't miss him that much, but I know how much you miss him. He would have wanted us to go. He would have wanted to come with us. Oh, let's make it happen. Come on.
Starting point is 01:19:54 when's mrs hudson coming to glaston soon three o'clock you didn't find the bodies i don't believe it oh the game is back afoot eh ha ha the oxygen device smat wicked smat dude not bad mary who delivered this parcel who smith what do you look like the usual chat or did he look peculiar He was in disguise. Oh, well done. Fun.
Starting point is 01:20:34 He looks so interesting in this movie. I can't place what it is. I know. He looks like what if Robert Downey Jr. But Keanu Reeves in this. Ah! That was great. That was good.
Starting point is 01:20:50 That was well done. not too shabby. Did our last one have some kind of a post credit or no? I thought maybe they had a sting, a little tease for what's to come. We can chitty chat a little bit while we wait to see that pop up. Well, man, I have to tell you, though,
Starting point is 01:21:14 I haven't moved on from Rachel McAdams. I am very surprised. Okay. If I had to levy a wager, my wager would be that they did that with, like, the hope that they could surprise us with her return in a three-quel, but also maybe not. I don't know. Like, it was an aspect of the movie that seemed like to lack a punctuation where one seemed, you know, justifiably earned. Usually you, the actress isn't in it or they are, but she was. And not for like a minute. Gosh.
Starting point is 01:21:53 The Stephen Fry naked. Yeah, really, you're really cutting low on that. And Rachel McCaff. Yeah, I don't know what to make of that, man. Wow. Wow, three people played this dog. It's crazy. That's wild.
Starting point is 01:22:08 Dude, well done, Reg on the casting. Do love a stylized credit sequence. I must say, Hans Zimmer. Yeah, it was. makes sense and Lorne Balfe yeah the credits are very fun and they match the entire movie and thematically it works this is one of those rare franchises i feel like take something where the source material isn't exactly like what this is but it's still doing a lot of what the source material is spiritually it's just like it's like when tim burton made friggin sleepy hollow and like that's
Starting point is 01:22:45 different from traditional sleepy hollow but you're like oh this makes a lot of sense though like I get this take I don't know the source material on this which is you know this is my introduction to Sherlock Holmes so do we not have one a post credit scene
Starting point is 01:23:00 yeah I don't know I guess we don't unless it's really at the very end all right well citizens of rejection thank you for being here with us for Sherlock Holmes too if you are an Apple or Spotify five star thumbs up if you're on YouTube Thank you, Preper, for helping edit us down.
Starting point is 01:23:17 And thank you, Chad Stahelsky, for co-directing the second unit. Chad Stilisky? Chad Stahelsky? Oh, do I say it wrong? Maybe. Staheltsky? I always have said, Chad Stalisky. Oh, yeah, the L is definitely later on.
Starting point is 01:23:36 I've been saying it wrong. I don't know if you're supposed to, how hard you're supposed to go on that H. The Helsky, Stelisky, Stilisky is what I. Anyway. Joe LaTrucleo. Okay, so we just watched this one. Both of us, to recap, liked the first one a lot. A lot of fun.
Starting point is 01:23:53 Yeah, a lot of fun. A lot of fun. I am curious just off the bat, and we will be getting to patron questions. Thank you so much to our patrons who sent us the questions. But I just want to get your initial reaction to this coming off of watching the second one. Did this live up to the first one hype? Did this do what you were hoping for? How are you feeling about Sherlock, too?
Starting point is 01:24:10 minus a couple of pretty you know evident things we are collectively dismayed about I had a lot of fun with this I really like the vibe and the timbre and just what they have assembled with these two movies like I would be
Starting point is 01:24:24 this is a franchise that I would be thrilled to check in with every few years and just do another adventure do all the different home stories if you want to because I think like the combination of the way they've drawn the world here it's like I said a minute ago like I think
Starting point is 01:24:40 this has a really nice blending of like totally guy richie style like definitely something that suits him it's you know it's you know uh it goes all over the globe but you know it's it's a traditionally british story and you know it lends itself to an adaptation that goes in his more pulpy direction while still throwing you a whole bunch of details and stuff like i'm curious to go back and watch these and see if you the viewer can deduce them entirely like i really liked and you know we'd comment with the inserts and the punchins and inserts and the punchins and like here like the the notebook thing is an example of like an explanation or a twist or a reveal that i'm like i don't know if we would have really gotten that without the reveal i don't know if you
Starting point is 01:25:25 could really figure that out but that's also not like the full conclusion of everything uh that's just one aspect so i'm not really that mad about it um yeah had a lot of fun i mean like i'm definitely like irean adler is just such a specific and notable character here and I don't know like I'm not super well read on the Holmes like you know stories on paper so I don't know if there maybe even is a story where we think she dies and she comes back in a different story like you know stuff like that happens
Starting point is 01:25:55 and there are I think instances where we think Holmes is dead in the stories and then of course eventually another one comes out and they figure out a way to explain how so yeah in short I really like what they do here and minus a couple of story beats I was thrilled to be along for another ride and would be thrilled to be along for a third in the future. You said there is that?
Starting point is 01:26:17 We should check. I think they were talking about maybe actually finally doing a third one, but I don't know how like solid that is or if that's just people going, it's been a while maybe you're doing. But how are you feeling? I'm with you on so many things.
Starting point is 01:26:30 I actually think that the plot of this one might even be stronger than the first one in a lot of ways because I'm so invested in Sherlock and Watson that the fact that this is a that we have that reveal like they're after Watson and that's why Sherlock's being so protective and why he's actually taking this on that gives us such great motivation but there was the so I really liked it for that reason and the twists I thought really worked and the twin reveal was really cool um but for me it's not even just that it's Irene it's
Starting point is 01:27:03 the lack of Rachel like she their chemistry and then they show us that again in this movie so that was a bit of a bummer and then the other thing i don't know if you felt this way but the first movie flew for me and this movie started to like the second act really really started to be a little like drawn out um yeah i'm surprised to see that this movie is only like it was only like two hour five minutes or something because if this if you would ask me this felt like a two hour 30 minute movie yeah i would agree with that and and i'm kind of torn on how i feel about it because I don't begrudge a movie sometimes that's supposed, you know, it's Holmes' greatest arch nemesis,
Starting point is 01:27:39 and they're both friggin' brilliant. So, like, I don't blame a movie like this always for being, like, a headful, like, sometimes being overwhelmed is, like, a good thing. But I do agree that, like, you get three quarters away, and you're like, all right, cool. I know we got a lot of shit to do, and we're probably going to do a lot of crazy fight scenes and stuff. That's the thing is, like, I guess the biggest point of contention
Starting point is 01:27:59 I would be curious about from the people is just, I have to imagine if you've read these you might take issue with the fact that they are so roller coastery. I think it suits this but I do think that in a situation like this movie where you have like kind of a big thick boy of a plot and it's got to be momentous because it's
Starting point is 01:28:16 Moriarty blah blah blah but you also have a ton of action it does yeah feel like at certain times it could be a little more streamlined I'm super with you I think we have revealed that there's probably no post credit sequence. This is a surprisingly short
Starting point is 01:28:32 credit scene for all intents and purposes i think that we credit's sequence we should uh get to some patron questions see what they have to ask us i want to know where you guys what you guys are thinking what you guys are feeling and uh you guys ask such great questions another shout out to our royal rejects the patrons themselves thank you guys for being there we have copyright strikes we have uh moved studios we are always trying to upgrade and uh you guys are the way that we're let's do that so thank you plus you ask better questions than even we do so i am leaving that to john because everybody knows with my nails i cannot click the buttons that need to be the hard is button to button oh yeah the musical yes it's what obviously hans emeritus a silly
Starting point is 01:29:20 comment to even say but step into these babies hans all right thank you again here we go with the patron questions Jane Roads my memory of this movie has faded a little bit but my question do y'all like this version of Sherlock and have y'all seen other Sherlock Holmes projects so John I know you've seen way more than I have or
Starting point is 01:29:43 more well versed in Sherlock lore than I am I am the keeper of the Sherlock library so how do you feel about that I like him yeah I mean like this is I think these came out at a fortunate time before it's like Robert Downey Jr. would have probably just been back and you have Iron Man, you know,
Starting point is 01:30:04 helping with that, but this would be kind of a fresh, a breath of fresh air. Let's pinpoint in time really quick. When this is? Yeah. Okay, so the first Sherlock Holmes was 2009. Oh, okay. And then, yeah, so that's right after Iron Man. And then this one was
Starting point is 01:30:20 2011. Okay. So yeah, like I like this a lot as a Robert Downey Jr. project. and I feel like, you know, this is... When was Madman? 2005, I think that started. So, I mean, yeah, you would have Jared Harris fresh on the heels of his tenure
Starting point is 01:30:37 because what is Madman? It's like seven seasons, I want to say. So we might, yeah, and he's not in all of them, but we're somewhere on the heels of that, I would venture the guess. Yeah, I like this version of Sherlock. I like the way that he, you know, embodies it. I think I heard some people say,
Starting point is 01:30:54 well, it's kind of like his jacks, because it's, you know, like a rascally Brit character, but in the exact opposite way, where as much as he is a bit of a mess, he is also absolutely brilliant. I really like him and, uh, I feel that. Jude Laws Watson together.
Starting point is 01:31:07 And yeah, for like this take on Sherlock Holmes, I think he's great. I think he does a really fine job of selling all the things that the character needs to sell without it feeling like he's on autopilot or like he's doing a stick that we've gotten used to, you know, like I kind of miss the,
Starting point is 01:31:24 the day and age where. we would have Robert Downey Jr. popping up in a different major thing playing a character that certainly you know you're watching him, but it also feels like you're watching him play a character. Yeah. Play him.
Starting point is 01:31:37 For me, I, this is my introduction to Sherlock Holmes, so I like this version because this is my version. So I guess he's my Sherlock. I'd be very interested to see other Sherlock's. Benedict Cumberbatch, I've seen most of those. I have seen some of the older ones with like Basil Rethbone.
Starting point is 01:31:55 and did Peter Cushing play Holmes? I don't know. I lose track sometimes but I've seen some of the classic movies and stuff. Right, yeah, I just haven't so yes, I like it
Starting point is 01:32:05 and no what happens. You know, there's Shrain Webster. Thank you. In my opinion, this is one of Robert Downey Jr.'s While there's comic relief in the movie,
Starting point is 01:32:17 there's also a lot of area for his acting chops, what do you think of Robert Dany Jr.'s portrayal of Sherlock Holmes? So just from an acting perspective, of John, do you feel like he did a good job here? Yeah. He lost himself in the character a bit for you?
Starting point is 01:32:31 Yeah, absolutely. I mean, he's definitely consistent with what he laid down in the first movie, maybe a little bit more, I don't know what the word is, maybe a little more saturated in this one than the first one, but I think that's appropriate for a sequel. And, yeah, I like the way he sells the physicality. I like the way he sells the brilliance and the, you know, again, the frustrating aspects of homes without ever losing us
Starting point is 01:32:54 being too off-putting, you know, if he ever has to be kind of difficult or off-putting, I always feel like it's kind of in the right ways. And yeah, this is, he's really good at the accent. He's an actor who's proven that he's, you know, up to the challenge of and enjoys accent work. So, yeah, like for an American actor playing an iconic British character, I think he does a pretty great job. And I feel like I almost imagine some kind of utopia where we have, you know how, like, Godzilla you have Japanese Godzilla and you have American Godzilla and they kind of just both coexist. I kind of like the idea of we have like you know we have BBC homes and we have like big blockbuster homes which are not altogether entirely different because you know Guy Ritchie is a famous you know British director but you know yeah I feel you on on that especially when you're talking about the physicality I think it's very very difficult as an actor to make the facial expressions especially when you are going through a lot of guy
Starting point is 01:33:52 Richie slowmo and getting punched and sometimes have a stunt double doing the work and it's just your face and like he really, really sells the physicality of this. So yeah, I think that he's a really, he's an excellent actor. And this is super different than Iron Man, which is obviously not the only thing I've seen him in, but was the thing that he was in at this time. So I'm sure there was a lot of comparisons at the time. And I think that there's a world in which Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man could have been very similar personality-wise and they are not. It makes sense on the heels of that
Starting point is 01:34:28 for him to play this game. This is kind of like a... I see how this happened and how this was fortuitous because it's like this draws on enough things that we like about him playing Iron Man but also opens up a lane for him to do some other stuff too. So like that's, I think, very satisfying
Starting point is 01:34:44 and I feel like, yeah, for this particular take he lends himself pretty well. Tim pork roll Yes thank you Tim The ending of the film repeats the ending Of what was going to be The final Sherlock Holmes book With Holmes pulling Mardi
Starting point is 01:35:01 Over the edge to both their deaths Apparently there was such a high demand That Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote Another story showing Holmes survived Are y'all happy that they showed He survived in the film Or would you have preferred them To have left it ambiguous
Starting point is 01:35:18 the only way I would have preferred it to be left ambiguous I mean it would have been a fine choice I might have liked it either way I think it would have been more rewarding to leave it ambiguous and then many many many years later open up the idea of maybe we'll come back like it it makes sense if your idea was to do part three I was like yeah they're going to plunge off the cliff and then the sort of reward at the very end will be this McGuffin from earlier
Starting point is 01:35:45 which I had totally forgotten about but you know just like in the moment i was like oh clever you know like fun little detail um so it's weird it's like i don't begrudge this movie it didn't take anything away i feel like if we knew part three was coming it would you know because we don't have a part three yet it's kind of frustrating now whereas if he had stayed dead i would have been like well that's it okay food we're done and i mean you know i feel like they could have done that because it's not like obviously why not everybody knows this, but it's possible through cultural osmosis to know that that ending
Starting point is 01:36:19 was a thing and that Arthur Conan Doyle did have to write him out of death at one point. So, you know, I feel like you could have still left it ambiguous and had people be like, no, he'll come back, don't worry. I thought it was worth it for the question mark bit.
Starting point is 01:36:35 Yeah. Yeah, it was cool. And the disguise thing. Yeah, it was cool. Going back to a couple of the previous questions, too, I did like, this movie made the disguises more obvious. He didn't That first movie like blew my mind that one time Where I was like oh my god The guy's the card
Starting point is 01:36:49 But I do think he embodies It's fun to watch him embody these different This is like dollar store costumes Yeah yeah They made them more apparent this time It was very fun Kev B Did anything catch you off guard
Starting point is 01:37:04 About the battle of wits Between Sherlock and Mortyarty Was it the clever twist The intense mind games Or maybe just Sherlock Winning with a well-timed pipe toss trivia oh i'll get to the trivia after actually why don't we just stop there for a second john did it catch you off guard uh it's one of those things where i i think the pipe thing did yeah because like
Starting point is 01:37:28 there's a lot of stuff in these movies when he blew the flames that pipe thing or the basically yeah after they've both gone through the you know brain palace sort of like oh you'll do this thing and then i'll do this thing we're playing 12 d chess and then yeah him taking that choice of like instead of doing any of these things I'm going to do yeah like a lower more sneaky move by yeah throwing these this ash and ember in your face so you know
Starting point is 01:37:57 I that kind of I thought that was a neat foil two guys who are trying to outwit each other on like such a high level that yeah like a more unpredictable or more a less sophisticated choice becomes you know a clever gambit yeah I think that was cool Me too. I love the way that was shot. I love that when we went to Jared Harris's perspective,
Starting point is 01:38:18 Mordiarty's perspective, I thought that was really, like, seeing Moriarty talk through what is that telekinesis? What is the? It feels like it. Yeah, whatever was happening. I thought that that was really, really great. Kev B also threw in some trivia. He said one of the most intense scenes from the film was the fight and fall over the,
Starting point is 01:38:40 how do you say falls? Rikinback. Rikinback Falls. Downey Jr. and Jared Harris were strapped to robotic arms combined with live waterfall footage and advanced digital effects, perfecting the robot movements took a week. So while Moriarty was falling,
Starting point is 01:38:57 the crew was hanging on for Deer Life behind the scenes. That is bonks. Well done. It looked pretty good. Right, V. Nothing is worth anybody hanging on for Dear Life for entertainment, but it did work. Okay, thank you for that, Kev. Hawk, what do you think of the handling
Starting point is 01:39:14 of Irene Adler and her quick demise here compared to the first movie. Yeah, so this is where I'm kind of surprised not every question is about her. Let's dive in. I'm big mad about this. Yeah, to be honest, John, like, I've never felt more on the same page with you. You and I are often on the same page, but I just kept checking in with you every 10 minutes to make sure we were still on the same page. I was like, she'd go come back, right?
Starting point is 01:39:38 Right. Like, I feel bamboozled. I feel hoodwinked. Like, I feel, you guys. brought her back for the movie and then you reminded us these two have incredible chemistry and then we set a date and we said neither of us are going to be late and then we see that her she orders the tea we see the turg tuberculosis thing and then we never see her see her again we don't watch him mourn her like I just think is she going to be in the third one because I feel like what we would I don't know
Starting point is 01:40:08 I'm feeling really messed up about this she had better like I think that is something where like if she doesn't come back in part of three i would be kind of bummed but what happened uh why'd they do that i think they did it it's weird it's one of the few things that i feel like there there are things i think could be tighter about the movie like we talked about that's one of the few things that at least in the moment of this viewing experience that felt like it didn't quite hit the way they wanted it to like i think the purpose of that is for them to show like oh man moriarty's frigid serious bro he took out holmes's you know his most potential romantic, you know, prospect,
Starting point is 01:40:46 but also just somebody who's, like, on his level and, like, can totally outwit and foil him and with whom he, he's his catwoman, you know? Yeah. But you honestly think this was on purpose, a creative choice? This wasn't a scheduling issue? I have no idea, honestly.
Starting point is 01:41:01 It feels, the way it's executed makes it feel like some kind of scheduling thing. Right. My narrative brain says they want this as, again, a means of, like, showing that Moriarty's machinations are big serious. But the way that it's handled and the fact that we don't really spend much time, like, not that, you know, you need to change the character of Holmes and make him super emotional. But, like, you want the impact. You know, reference her again.
Starting point is 01:41:24 Yeah, you want him to acknowledge this. You want the impact of it to be felt. And the movie kept handling it in a way where I just never quite believed it to be true. Like, I fully expect it's going to be like halfway through if they ever make part three. If she doesn't show up and I'll just be going like, man, maybe they really did kill him. I still definitely, definitely, definitely don't believe it. Like, I feel like that is tailored to be whatever if they ever do it. I almost feel like that's the having your cake and eat it too.
Starting point is 01:41:54 It's like, we won't kill Holmes and we'll show you that he's alive so that everyone will be ready to come back. And then maybe they'll surprise you in part three with Irene. And maybe that just didn't come together. Come on, Irene. Hey, do, do, do, do. But yeah. Same page, man. I'm big mad about that.
Starting point is 01:42:11 I wonder, I'm curious from you guys in the comments. How did you guys feel about the Irene thing? Like, did you guys care like we did? This made me feel like Ilsa Faust. Like, that was such a frustrating. That was one of the parts of dead reckoning that I was big frustrated about. And I was like bargaining with the whole time.
Starting point is 01:42:27 I was like, they can't just be it though. We can't just get one, yeah, a quickie moment here and then we're done. And like there's less emphasis even on the death of Irene here. It just becomes like another detail and a sea of details. So, yeah. And the fact that like after she was done, He, like, didn't notice that she, he knew she didn't show up for the dinner, but he didn't, that didn't concern him.
Starting point is 01:42:50 Yeah, big weird. It's either, yeah, either unplanned and we did our best or, yeah, this is definitely, like, a thing you're supposed to take note of and we'll pay it off later. And it just took way too long to do it. Thank you for asking the question, Hawk, because we need to talk about it. Jay Rushden, okay, who are favorite Sherlock and Watson on-screen or television, is bad at Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman Sorry, I'm a bad person to answer the question because this is my only.
Starting point is 01:43:20 So, John? Anytime Greg and Olivia's cats, Sherlock and Watson have appeared on screen, which they have on this channel at some point, they are my favorite. Oh, great answer. Great answer. Thanks, Jay, for the question. Hopefully that's exactly what you were looking for.
Starting point is 01:43:35 Robbie Bobar Pirate. Hi, guys. How's it going? Okay, I'm going to pause there. How's it going? It's going. It's going pretty okay right now. I've got a lot of things on my mind and this movie was a head full, but it's going. I know. Well, it really, at some point
Starting point is 01:43:50 I really with all the jumping, I was like, I'm either dizzy or like, ah, ha, ha, yeah. My brain is starting to liquid. This is definitely a verging. It's weird. It's presented in a way that's much more fun and roller coastery, but it's verging on like, you know what, don't try too hard to manage the details, just vibe. Also, for you guys at home,
Starting point is 01:44:06 not that this is fully relevant, but we watch this in the morning, and this feels like a nighttime watch. Yes. This doesn't feel like, a morning movie. This isn't a primer to start your day. This is like once you're like been fired up for a good few hours and you're friggin' running. Totally. Yeah, this is a 6 p.m. watch for sure.
Starting point is 01:44:25 Yeah. I was like, wow, it's too early. Like, I have not had lunch yet. Ever have I ever seen two movies on this channel where I'm like, cool. So we'll just come back and react to these again in a year so I can like reassemble the details. Totally, totally. Okay. So that's how it's going, Robbie.
Starting point is 01:44:42 Forgive me if you already answered this question in the past. but which one is your favorite Robert Downey Jr.'s movies, what's your favorite Robert Downey Jr. movie, excluding the MCU, and which one is your favorite Jude Law movie, and why? And what was your favorite deduction made by Sherlock in this previous movie? Keep up the good work, and chow from Sardinia. Oh, okay, so let's start with the favorite Robert Downey Jr. movie.
Starting point is 01:45:08 I would need to pull up my phone. Sure. We can just pull up the IMDB right here. And favorite Jude Law movie. Do you have off the top of your hub? Oh, boy. There's a movie called Bowfinger that I love very much
Starting point is 01:45:19 that Robert Downey Jr. appears in and I want to be a cool guy and say that. I thought you were going to say, do little. Hey, man, nobody pulls bagpipes out of a dragon's butt like Robert Downey Jr. That's the only thing I know about them. That's funny. He pulls bagpipes out of dragon's butt.
Starting point is 01:45:41 Tropic Thunder is the best role of it. It's very hard to beat. hard to be. Okay, no MCU. Oh, Zodiac is so good. Yeah, Zodiac, he's great. I really liked him, Charlie Bartlett. I remember seeing that back of the day. Kiscus Bang Bang is like what really made me be like, oh, this
Starting point is 01:45:55 guy is really good. Oh, yeah. Gothica. It's definitely Gothica, that's the answer. A big alley, like, Neil fan. Now we've scrolled far, far. Now we're in the back in the olden day. I mean, I don't, I wouldn't name this as my favorite, but I remember
Starting point is 01:46:11 he really struck me in natural born killers. And he plays like an Australian guy just on his own whim, apparently. Oh, really? Yeah. I think he came to Oliver someone. He's like, I haven't been an Australian. I'm like, sure, why not? Oh, Chaplin. I haven't seen it.
Starting point is 01:46:27 Chaplin, I feel like we watched a little bit of in school. I think he won or was nominated for Oscars for that. I would like to watch that movie again for sure. Yeah. Okay, maybe that's our next watch. Yeah. Do you have a definitive favorite? I guess I would have to say Bowfinger, but but because I want to pick one
Starting point is 01:46:45 where he's got like a big substantial role, it might be Zodiac, honestly. Zodiac is so good. I'm gonna go Tropic Thunder. Yeah, it's like it's gotta be. Okay, let's go to Jude Law. All right, Judy. What do we got?
Starting point is 01:46:57 Judy, Jude, Judith, Judy, Judy, Judy. It's also hard when you say, like, what's your favorite movie of somebody that's like is your favorite performance of theirs? Or are you saying the favorite movie that they're in? Because like, both these are big franchise people. I'm like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:12 Like, how big do you? Does the performance have to be? How big does the role have to be? Does it have to be like they are starring in this film or just like they had a particularly great appearance in this film? Yeah. Let me see.
Starting point is 01:47:25 Let's see. We're scrolling through the Judes. I feel like once my answer shows up. Oh, Grand Budapest. Good point. He is pretty great in that. Loved to having him in the, you know, he was very lovely in Hugo.
Starting point is 01:47:36 Hugo was excellent. I was going to say, Repo Men, lull. The holiday, don't sleep on it. The holiday under, I want to watch that movie again. I saw it once ages ago. Don't sleep on it.
Starting point is 01:47:47 I remember really liking it. Imaginarium of Dr. Pornassus was pretty cool. Cold Mountain. I loved that movie. I need to see that. And SkyCaptain. Oh, Talented Mr. Ripley. Road to Perdition.
Starting point is 01:47:58 That's right. Oh, Gigolo Joe. Remember artificial intelligence? Damn. Giglo Joe. Oh, AI. Yeah. I haven't seen that in friggin forever.
Starting point is 01:48:05 Yeah, me either. And I don't remember. What do you know? What do you know? The talented Mr. Ripley is a movie I would love to watch at some point. You never saw it. We saw it. It was one of those ones that got put on in class at school one day. Existence is sick.
Starting point is 01:48:19 What's Existence? It is a movie that came out like around the time of like the Matrix in Dark City. So it's one of those like, oh, if you like the Matrix, check this out. I think it's a Kronenberg movie and it's about like this living video game of sorts. Weird. It's really, it's a cool movie. Gattaca we watched in school for sure. I don't feel like I have a definitive, maybe Cold Mountain.
Starting point is 01:48:43 I got Seacold Mountain Yeah, really good Yeah, some good stuff Oh, sir What's your, pick one? Pick one, okay I mean, I'm gonna pick Friggin' repo men

Starting point is 01:49:31 And he's thinking really fast And then there's a bunch of details I'm trying to think What was the best revelation? There was like the stuff in the last movie With the bugs that was really interesting Or when they went into the room And there was like the one

I think Guy Ritchie's got a really fun, punchy vibe and style. Love Jared Harris's Mordi R-a-R-Ti. I know. Every time I said, like, Mordi-Rity, Morty-Rty, Morty-Rty.
Starting point is 01:51:36 Yeah, and I keep... And I, too, I mean, I like Mary a lot. I was hoping that she would, like... come in and help out in some clever way. A little bit, but not much. So that would be a cool thing for next time. The way, I kept thinking Irene was going to come and save the day. I know. I know. I do.
Starting point is 01:51:52 That's fine. You can't always get what you want. At least it was a good movie. And we will see you guys. Next time, have a good weekend. Rejects later. Woo!
