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.

Yeah, I get your big magnifying glass.
Here's my monocle.

It's my hat that we learned the name of last time,

You got the Batman eyes.
I just poked myself, John.
It's off to a good start.
That's because we're all right.
I'm watching Sherlock Holmes to a game of shadows.
True story.
I was scared of my own shadow this week.
Really?
Yeah, I...
Six more weeks of summer?
Let me tell you something.
I had two.
I had two shadows.
Oh.
You heard of that?
I was like, which one's mine?
It's a hoax.
Stanley Kubrick directed you.
There's too many shadows.
Or maybe it was Guy Ritchie preparing for a game of shadows.
John, how are you today?
I'm good.
I'm good.
I'm slowly settling into a groove.
My brain has been kind of.
bouncing all around this morning.
And, you know, I'm excited to, like, settle for a moment, get back into a mystery and to share
a reaction after a million flipping years.
Yeah, it's been a long time.
I think it's been since we watched the last one.
What happened?
Last week.
Yeah, that last one was seven days ago.
Definitely, it was a long week, though.
Seven biblical days that are of indeterminate length and could have maybe have been a couple
months, in fact.
What did God do on this day?
He blessed us with a lot of technical.
Technical knowledge, I guess.
Oh.
It's been a tech-heavy morning.
Very good.
Very good.
How are you doing?
I'm doing, you know, the rejects as a whole got some not some good, not-so-good personal news this morning.
So my heart's a little heavy today, and you get my tech message?
No.
Okay.
I will have to catch back up with some very significant life news after this.
Yeah.
So just in, you know, I'm in, I'm excited to be watching a movie with you.

This.
Magnifying glass, not monocle.
Are these the pages that will have.
eventually become the Arthur Conan Doyle stories.
A year was 1891.
Storm clouds were brewing over Europe.
Oh.
France and Germany were at each other's throats.
The result of a series of bombings.
Some said it was nationalist.
Wars brewing.
What do you say, 1891?
Yes.
My friend, Sherlock Holmes, had a different theory entirely.
Oh.
Wow.
That looked amazing.
Yeah.
Bombing in Strasbourg, read all about it.
Damn.
Really clean transitions here.
Yeah.
Hey man, Guy Ritchie.
Got that snappy editing.
Yeah, yeah.
Ooh.
Is that Rachel McAdams?
Could be.
Good call.
You are the sleuth this time.
And that's Robert Downey Jr.
He's gonna fool me again, all right?
He pulled me the first time.
Got my.
deductive eye on.
Oh, a full three-six date.
When did you start working for the postal service?
Oh, my.
What a costume for him.
A curious person.
Who's the intended recipient?
Look at his bald cap.
I'm free for lunch.
Hmm, I'm not.
How about the Savoy?
Eight o'clock?
Splendent it.
And will you be coming as yourself?
Most likely.
Uh-huh.
Three men have been following you for the last half mile.
There are motives.
savory. How many
ethnicities has Robert Danny
Jr. played now? The black guy, Asian guy. Has he played a Hispanic
guy? Oh, and by the way, they're not pursuing me, they're escorting me
and instead of three, there seems to be
four. Oh, boy.
Steady hands are that, Irene. Oh, I don't think it's my hands
you have to worry about it. Now, be careful with the face, boys. We do have a dinner date
tonight. Don't fill up on bread. Damn.
That's disconcerting.
I've got the rest.
Oh.
Careful with the face.
It's coming back now.
Yeah.
Pocket sand.
Pocket beans.
Owie!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Peelers!
Peelers.
Uh, uh, um...
So neither of them want to deal with the peelers.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh, he's using this time to charge up.
Wowy with the color saturation.
This is the most Guy Ritchie sequence I've ever seen.
Oh, yeah.
This is a really good combo of like well-known property.
and director-specific style.
Yeah.
Whoa.
Nice.
Ooh.
Ha, ha, major flinch.
Egyptian sarcophoblus,
achieved from the valley of the kings.
Your payment, doctor.
He sends his things.
Who will bid 100 pounds?
I think it would be sick if Sherlock Holmes
had to, you know,
do battle with a mummy.
Please give this to him.
He's expecting it.
Tell him our friend thinks I delivered it to his sister.
Uh-oh
Stay while I check the contents
I was assured full payment would be there
But assured by whom have you ever met him in person
Uh-oh
Or like me have you
Whoa
Hold it, hold it
Don't move it
Judging from its size and weight is not the payment you're expecting
I've waited the contents of rather more in century
Oh
He's got blown
dynamite
seems a secondary charge has been activated
sweet thing I might need your help
in the disposal of this parcel
their dynamic is so sick
he called her sweet thing
well good luck
1,000, 1 million pounds

What other movie have I seen a device like this in?
There's like another movie with like a famous scene like that.
Really?
Oh my God.
I haven't seen that.
That was smart.
Yeah, you did.
It's my man.
Jared Harris.
You did call that last time, right?
He's got a distinct boy.
Like, I'm a fan of his.
So I think, yeah, I guess.
I mean, I love you to guess.
I don't blame you.
I blame myself.
It's been apparent to me for some time that you had succumbed to your feelings for him.
Damn.
And this isn't the first occasion, Mr.
Holmes has inconvenienced me in recent months.
The question is, what to do about it?
The question is, that's my problem to solve now.
Ah, if you say so.
Oh, boy, taking the game into his own hands.
I no longer require your services.
Uh-huh.
Nah, man, just going to contribute to your undoing.
I like these fraught cello tones.

I was just noting like,

so at exactly which point
did we switch back
into the actual
shot of the
this close-up building?
99% of this movie
looks so good
and then there's something
and you're like,
that's a CG wide
if I ever saw one.
Oh,
Mrs. Hudson.
Holmes?
Do we remember why he's limping?
He got injured in the last one pretty bad.
Can't remember if he had a limp before that or not, though.
Your hedge needs trimming.
That's what she said.
I'm waiting.
Holmes is turning into a plant man.
I'm not going to play this game.
That looks like a doll, not him.
Remember, I have to catch the last.
Oh, train.
That's you dead, I'm afraid.
You win.
You win.
Lull.
Game over.

Holmes experts, comment below.
Why are you here?
I'm getting married tomorrow.
My man.
Whoa.
Beautiful mind.
Sweet mother of Charlie Day.
I see you've made good use of my old office.
Night of man.
What was scandal involving an Indian cotton tycoon, the overdose of a Chinese opium trader,
fomings in Strasbourg in Vienna, and the death of a steel magnet in America.
Steel magnet.
All have in common.
Well, according to your diorama.
Professor James Moriarty.
There it is.
Mathematical genius.
Celebrated author and lecturer.
Boxing champion of Cambridge,
where he made friends with our current Prime Minister.
Golly.
Do you have any evidence to substantiate your claim?
This.
Good use of the threads, honestly.
The ribbons.
Dr. Hoffman's death.
Do you know, Hoffman's style was at the forefront of medical innovations,
a true pioneer?
The other day, I avertered an explosion that was intended to him.
Says here, he does he, doctor.
of a heart attack.
He died of pison.
You still read the official statement
and believe it.
It's a game, dear man,
a shadowy game.
A game of shadows.
He said it.
He said it.
A plane cat and mouse,
the professor and had a cloak and dagger.
I thought it was spider and fly.
From Maldahide.
Not a fly.
Not a mouse, but a dagger.
You're drinking and balming fluid.
Yeah.
Yes.
Care for a drop.
He must be stopped
before his evil machinations come to a crescendo.

bad people do bad things because they
do bad things because they can
do one

Ritzinous, communist, fruit is highly toxic.
He's barely breathing.
Excellent.
Obsturity.
This may be just thing.
Ah!
I heard you mind terribly if I try my adrenal extract.
How many times are you going to kill my dog homes?
Jesusu Christi.
Took off like a monkey from a box.
I made me one of those in a few hours.
Consider it a wedding gift.
Hey, that's going to come in handy later on.
Pretty sure.
Might we use an alternative exit?
Trap door?
Is there something different about you?
I'm under observation.
His costumes are so goofy.
It's a different time.
People will believe way easier.
Their eyesight was worse.
That's true.
Why are you looking at me with such concern?
I'm so very worried.
Your vitality's been drained from you.
Oh.
Marriage.
It's the only matter.
I think of it as the beginning.
Armageddon.
Rebirth.
Restriction.
Structure.
Answering to a woman.
Being in a relationship.
So, we have a good old fashion romp tonight.
You'll settle down, have a family, and I'll die alone.
Oh, no.
Why hasn't he looked for Rachel McAdams after she didn't show up?
With these movies, I just guess that he already knows that something's wrong
and that he's going to have to, like, unravel the mystery to find her.
I don't know.
By which you arrived, how did it damage for you?
Yes, the left.
That you have recently acquired a new bow for your violin.
Same bow, new strings.
Speaking in codes.
Good evening, by the way.
No.
No.
But with all the conflict in Europe.
At the moment, the whole situation could, excuse me, suddenly erupt.
Oh my.
I'm here to avoid a dire catastrophe.
Be nice to slash.
If the concerns of two nations, which shall remain nameless,
can tell you they speak French and German,
are not dealt with tonight.
I shall be forced to go to Switzerland to attend a ghastly peace summit in Reichenbach.
The Alps.

She was biting my leg.
I'll have Carruthers put some fuel into that motor carriage of yours.
You do have a wedding to attend.
Oh, I drive.
Oh, no.
Carruthers.
Don't drink and drive.
Not even in the 1800s.
You think there were laws against it back then?
Oh, God, I don't know.
I guess my best expectation is that they would catch you drunk driving and maybe throw you in the slammer for a night.
Not to advocate for it, but how much damage are you going to do drunk in one?
one of these things i mean yeah like drinking at the helm of a carriage feels a little different than
a carrot like a yeah maudrin metal torpedo look you got those little lamps on the front
little sunglasses oh my god worst best man ever i mean they do sound good to be fair
Oh, no.
Clean up, man.
Do not walk in there like this.

Significantly better to be late to your own wedding than what you're about to do.
Yeah.
Oh.
The gang's all here.
Okay.
Oh, my goodness gracious.
Ask a bodacious flirtation.
Oh.
It's a very quick ceremony, no vows.
You don't know how they did it back then.
It's true.
Oh.
Where is Rachel McAdams?
The professor wants to meet.
Oh, boy.
He was wondering if it'd be convenient for you to come by the college this afternoon.
Looking forward.
One side, chumny.
One side, chumby.
God looks like Van Gogh.
Isn't it be a very difficult script to write the old English is on the forefront of this?
That's right, Chumley.
Chumley.
We'll start speaking in an old time.
But even like broke your beak.
Yeah.
Would you care of some tea or coffee?
Neither.
Something stronger, perhaps.
No, but might I trouble you for an inscription?
Oh, the dynamics of an asteroid and lecture notes.
Tom's going to have to stop an asteroid.
I read that the good doctor was to be married today.
It went well.
very good
he'll no longer be party to my investigations
he's out of the equation
I trust you'll take this into consideration
oh
and what considerations will you grant me
I ain't been reading that book
have you actually read the book
I found it compelling
though I'm primarily interested in your
more recent endeavors
I take that as a compliment
I have the utmost regard
for your talents
it's a pleasure to finally meet you
Kiss.
Are you familiar with the study of graphology?
I've never given it any serious thought, no.
Loader Hokem.
The upward strokes on the P, the J, and the M indicated genius-level intellect,
while the flourishes on the lower zone denote a highly creative yet meticulous nature.
The overall slant in the pressure of the writing
there's a suggestion of acute narcissism,
a complete lack of empathy, inclination toward no moral insanity.
I wonder if any of that's real.
An answer to your previous request regarding Dr. Watson not being involved, the answer is no.
Oh, Shazbot.
Less your mechanics dictate that when two objects collide, there is always damage of a collateral nature.
Ooh, don't threaten Watson.
Yeah.
Two gentlemen find themselves at cross purposes.
A young woman torn between them.
Oh boy.
And she suddenly falls ill.
Tragic consequences.
Whoa.
So he didn't realize she was missing.
Are you sure you want to play this game?
You'd lose.
Rest assured.
If you attempt to bring destruction down upon me, I shall do the same to you.
Is that why we introduced another hot woman?
I wonder.
I hope not.
There can be two hot ladies.
Let me pay you on return when I said if I were assured of the former eventuality,
I would cheerfully accept a letter.
Basically, I think that boils down to,
if you make good on your promise to involve Watson in this,
that I'm glad for mutually assured destruction.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
I like how protective he is over Watson,
even though he rips on Watson.
Yeah.
This episode's brought to you by prize picks.
The app that made me finally understand
my wife's obsession with fantasy sports.
She's been obsessed with fantasy sports
the entire time I've known her.
And I'll be honest,
I would sometimes zone out whenever she would talk stats.
She'd kill me for a minute of that recorded.
But until now, now I get it.
it because price picks makes it simple and fun and no it's not gambling it's daily fantasy sports you're not
betting against other people or the house it's just you versus your predictions you pick more or less
on two player stats like will step curry hit more than five threes tonight or will patrick mahomes
throw less than three t d's it's touchdowns for you uninitiated and if you're right you get
paid and i'm a man all about efficiency and speed so what hooked me is how fast it is you can
make a lineup in under a minute in over 40 states and it gives every game that extra level of
excitement when you're right that feeling can be addicting in the best kind of way so reject nation if
you're ready to join the alba household you can download the price picks app today and use code
rejects to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup that's code rejects to get
$50 in lineup after you play your first $5 lineup prize fix it's good to be right I'm sorry madam

Half a dozen.
Who are they?
A wedding present for Moriarty.
Lovely ceremony, by the way.
Many a tear shed in joy.
Oh, John.
Do you trust me?
No.
Well, then I shall have to do something about that.
Aw.
Oh my God.
Christ the Lord.
It had to be done.
Huh?
She's safe now.
In my own defense.
Oh, no.
That was crazy, what he did?
That was insane.
I told you, I timed it perfectly.
What does that mean?
Oh.
This is such a good fight.
Yeah.
And his frigging bloomers.
Whoa.
Whoa.
That's an ornate.
I'm sorry madam, you cannot use the lavatory once trains in the station.

She's engaged.

Wow.
Oh, let's go.
Oh, let's go.
What an amazing image.
Yeah, man, let's just freaking crack on in our bloomers.
Wow.
All right, this looks good enough.
Why did you leave them here? Why did you involve us?
They're not here for me, they're here for you.
Yeah, dog.
Oh shit.
Wow, oh my god
Mind the door
Very jokery makeup
Imagine him walking into a room
I think you'll find your second class is more comfortable
The coast is clear to the south quick march
Good morning
Lie down with me, Watson
Yes
What are we doing down here
We are waiting
I am smoking
I love him.
Yeah.
Wowie, wowie.
Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ.
Ah!
Patiently waiting.
For a track to explode on me.
Another one.

uh huh
uh huh
uh
I accepted
accepted his fate there
that is why it is action adventure Friday
that is why it is action adventure Friday
and on historical drama Tuesday.
His brother.
I believe congratulations are in order,
Mrs. Watson.
If you were her,
you would be so confused.
As you and Mary
not be so hell-bent on your wedding,
we could have already solved this case.
All I'm saying is the argument could be made
that your nuptials were rather poorly timed.
That's life.
My dear fellow, if you could be bothered
to see this through to the end,
I shall never again.
I don't buy that.
And I wouldn't want to.
Once more under the breach.
Once more onto the breach.
Once more.
I'm really into this plot this time.
What does a criminal mastermind want with a simple
gypsy fortune teller?
It's her brother, I tell you.
When we fight him out, do we mask?
Where is it?
We're going, Paris.
Oh.
Because I love that this is about Sherlock and Watson.
Yeah.
Like, that's very cool dynamic.
I do miss Rachel McAdams.
I do too
I don't believe she's dead
But yeah
This like ultimate game
Between Holmes and Moriarty
Right
Watson getting married
And the game involving
Like the literal death of Watson
As Holmes faces
Like the friendship death of Watson
Return her back
Oh no
It still smells like her
Oh
What year is this movie?
when was it made yeah god it's gotta be the way before madman right no madman might have still
been going or it might have been just after i'm not sure because what is this the early 2010s maybe
oh really it's a shame professor i was looking forward to don giovarly i thought mid 2000s for some
reason you might be right honestly i don't know i have no idea yeah i'm awful in it i think the first
one was like 2007 or eight oh okay hotel do triumph
that looked like if a Wes Anderson movie had all the colors stripped from it
Wes Anderson Sherlock Holmes pretty sick concept oh my god
there've been a couple surprise franchises lately where I'm like
Wes Anderson installment you know I'm just starting my journey with that for real
rejects really Wes well I watch Graham Budapest dude and now I have all of his

aggressive
from Watson
Hey
You're hungry
Damned
Madam
This is a glorious hedgehog goulash
I can't remember
Ever having had better
His delivery deadpan is so good
When was the last time we had a hedgehog goulash
I told you what's and I can't remember
Perhaps you repressed it
It's too traumatic
How dare he be rude to this woman
Who's invited us into her tent
Offered us to a hedgehog
Says the man who throws women from trains.
It was aggressive.
It was, yeah.
Protect their lives.
Why did someone try to kill me?
Your brother has become involved with a very dangerous man.
It clearly believes that Renee has told you something you shouldn't know.
Uh-oh.
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.
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.
Unusual choice of paper.
It means the same stock as the letter.
They smell musty.
Must have installed somewhere cold and damp.
Somewhere dank.
Blood.
Oh.
Wine.
So a wine cell are located near a printing press.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
There's a wine cellar used by the anarchist group, La Pembourg, close to their leader.
Claude Ravach, a bomb maker.
I sampled some of this work last week.
Oh, good.
I was a part of the movement.
So was René, until it became too extreme for us.
We are moderates.
If my brother is back there, he will see us.
We didn't even vote in this election.
Is she French in real life?
I always thought Numer Rapos was, like, Scandinavian or something.
Oh, good morning, Mrs. Watson.
Have you had breakfast?
Mycraft.
Good morning, sir.
Telegram for Mrs. Watson.
Uh-huh.
It doesn't make any sense.
Allow me.
Uh-huh.
My most loathed, Mary, I do not love you.
I never wish to see you again.
It's a double encryption, my dear,
Shirley and I have used since we were boys.
If the first letter of the message is a consonant,
then what follows is the mirrored truth.
Fun.
It's time to play, is it cake?
Oh my god.
Bacon signage.
Still hiding in basements.
Oh.
It's difficult for me to
start.
I'm not here to see you.
Damn.
Swoff.
I prefer to partage this moment with your English friends.
Hey.
1789 a seminal vintage
how
the year of our glorious revolution
is that guy
100 year old wine
it's my brother here
I haven't seen him for a long time

rene using this same paper

assignment by an anonymous benefactor

Jared Harris

We have a deal
Oh no
Ugh
You've got leverage on you
No lose ants.
Oh no, he's gonna try to kill them.
To get my family save.
Kill you guys.
10 minutes.
Oh, dude.
Jesus Christ.
Oh my god, John, I did not think that that's what was about to happen.
Nope.
He has no further need of that pistol.
Why don't you take it and cover the stairs?
Dude, this fit on Holmes, though.
Holy crap, this fit on Holmes.
Well, I thought he was about to fight them.
Where do all the smudges mean?
Ow.
Huh?
Whoop?
There's only one way out of this place.
Right you are.
Fun.
Very fun.
fun hey i want a trapdoor i want a cool yeah we should build one here every studio has a bookcase entrance
or it's like a shelf of movies my brother he he's weak sim i need you to take a deep breath and follow
us sim to the opera at the opera tonight this does feel like we're in a post dark night
And Holmes with the Joker-esque makeup earlier, Moriarty is like his Joker.
Yeah, maybe this is like 2014 or something.
I don't know.
God, this music is just booming.
Is this Hans?
I forget.
Wow.
I don't know.
The costumes are unbelievable.
Yeah.
Just the production designs overall.
Oh, no, this guy.
Evil Van Gogh is back.
Whoa, Imperator.
Imperator Furiosa.
Whoa.
Whoa.
You are the show now, Holmes.
Whoa, what are we got?
Yeah, that thing had to be significant.
Too conspicuous to be cake.
He clocks everything.
I was mistaken.
I made mistake.
Oh, no.
Holmes.
You got to prove you're as brilliant as Moriarty is.
who's the spirit oh no damn oh my god the demons i kind of want to see that show
yeah same let's get some offer reactions wow oh oh oh
Wow!
Whoa!
Oh no!
Whoa!
Shot fired!
Damn!
I do like that as much as these movies are like
blockbuster roller coaster takes on this, they still require you to fucking pay attention.
there's a faint scrape where he dragged his tripod and set it up here oh not to mention
a seven or eight mile an hour wind he was needed a wind gauge which he placed here
and put a cigarette down here oh what a team you guys are first prone with the touch
of tackle must have four now he was rolling up wasn't that the blend you also know oh snap
best marksman in the British army
shit
this is the second victim of his that I've encountered
what better way to conceal a killing
no one looks through a bullet hole in a bomb blast
hey find the hay in the needle stack
the bomb was also meant to conceal the murder
of just one man
the man killed by the gunshot
was none other than Alfred Manard
he makes guns
big guns only days ago a large share
of his company was bought by an unknown investor
Moriarty.
Uh-huh.
To avoid repeating last night's debarctal, I was obliged to collect more sufficient data, hence my tardiness.
What did you get?
Trying your parts in 14 minutes, so.
Stook in the fires of war.
Oh my God, best costume yet.
Yeah.
It is fun to watch all his looks.
Look like an old timing.
Oh, nice.
Just the bags.
But we have enough time for me to indulge my little habit.
Oh.
His habit are feeding that urban species, the feral pigeon.
Hey, respect the pigeons, all right?
Where he will be just in time to catch the 11-04 train to Berlin.
It makes several stops along the way, one of which is Elbron.
Uh-oh.
Exactly where we must go.
Game is a foot still.
It's Moriarty's factory.
The shadows are.
shadowy. They're very shadowy.
Crossing between France and Germany
is to be closed and the failure of
pursuit is over unless we can happen
upon a comrade who knows their way
around borders.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
We know another way.
There's no other way.
Wow.
Go through Middle Earth.
They gave the little tiny pony.
We slip in through the loading bay
That's what she said
Hey
Can we get out
Getting out might be tricky
We will get you out
If my brother is in there
Get him out alive
Sir yes sir
Are you happy
Are we here for another reason
I think we are
Should we get on
It's a simple question
Are we going to do something
Wait here for them to come back around
What time is it
Game time
It's 1033
315
Over there and the rest of it
A part of the complex
Should be a telegraph office
Send this to Mikeroft
Be back here on the hour

All right

That's how we get you back in the game
Prepper loves when I slink out of frame
We can just put the video above us
And then we could watch from
Way down here
If you were my real friend
John you would watch it down here with me
For the rest of time
Okay
This is gonna be the funnest part of the video to edit
Oh no
Gun
Oh bigger
gun oh my god they're sending them everywhere they're supplying so many guns
these are fierce looking weapon wow that's what you get mr arms
when industry marries are sure what you need is one of these
the blaster pick one
Moriarty knows exactly which one you'll pick.
Self-repeel, take 7.6-3 caliber rounds in one of these.
Oh, no.
Fastest drawing the West End.
Magazine.
Easy enough to load.
Easy enough to empty.
That's one would have to attract old to engage the first round.
Easier done than said.
Ooh.
Easier done than said.
Oh, they chloroformed them.
Take him to the surgery
I'll find a doctor
Come at once if convenient
Ush
If inconvenient
Come all the same
A telegram
Was sent from here
Who was it sent to
My horror at your crimes
Is matched only by my emeration
At the scale it took
To achieve them
You used the anarchists
And their bombs
To create a crisis in Europe
Nation against Nation
Yeah you're tailing our whole war
Cotton
Opium steel
now arms and chemical weaponry ought to be shipped across europe in less than a week wow
everything from bullets to bandages manufacture the conflict and the means to fight it you intend
to create the demand of world war yep you are familiar with schubert's worth

I'm gonna lose a fish.
Oh.
The way, out the way.
Move, bitch.
Get out the way.

Doesn't realize until too late that it has swum into a trap.
Ooh.
Ow.
Ow.
Is that just through his shirt or through his body?
Yes.
Okay.
Yes.
to both.
Uh-oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Is this movie rated R?
I don't think so, but it's a hard PG-13 for cool kids.
For cool teens.
Oh, him hanging there.
I didn't know I needed him singing so badly.
Whoa.
This is leather facing him in here.
If he turns out to secretly be Jack the Ripper, I'm gonna be...
I will be overloaded.
1891, does that line up?
I don't recall the dates.
I feel like Jack the Ripper was earlier than this.
To whom?
Did you send the telegram to my landlady?
Like that?
To my brother, my god.
Whoa.
What are you plainer?
That's not fair.
Yeah.
Mines is bigger.
Question for you.

Dude, yeah, like, uh, gear up montage. Let's go.
Just get them cocking a million guns and like putting them in pockets.
Yeah.
Because we got to have one more big action sequence left, right?
Yeah.
There's got to be some crazy crescendo.
How did you survive that?
I'll find him.
I'll find him, Daddy, I promise.
Ooh, Zaddy.
Zaddy.
Whoa
Whoa
Did you see my brother?
No, but I'm certainly he's been here.
How can you know I would find you didn't find me you collapsed a building on me?
Wow

Why does it sound like Star Wars all of a sudden?
Because the empire is about to crest this next ridge and apprehend them.
Make sense.
Take him to Lord Vader.
Makes sense.
That's just really bankrolling all this shit.
Gohawi.
God, yeah, these motion tracking bits are crazy.
Makes me a little bit dizzy, but I still like it.
My eyes are like...
Yeah.
Whoa.
Whoa!
Teamwork, bro. Making the dream work.

Uh-oh, uh-oh, you clipped them.
Ah, shit.
This guy's gonna wound Watson, isn't he?
Ah, shit.
He's focusing.
No.
Marco!
Very nice dream.
Good sequence.
What?
He's not breathing.
What?
Is he slipping away?
What's going on?
Cradle his head.
Raise his legs.
I don't know if I would know how to cradle somebody's head.
Ooh.
Live.
Come on.
Are you supposed to do that or not?
Now you can hear me, you selfish bastard.
Now I think it's just staying alive.
You can hear me, you bastard.
Oh.
Oh, the adrenaline he gave him.
Yeah, there you go. Bring it back. I got Brain Wife.
His wedding gift.
A, A, A, A, C, you're the detective.
Ugh.
Ugh.
Oh, Lord.
You're in Mary in Glass and I'm in a restaurant.
Howie?
Howie?
What have you administered?
Your wedding present?
Who's been dancing on my chest?
Alcohol, I don't know.
Ewee.
I've an important job to discuss with you.
Remind me if it later.
Sit down.
Drink this.
What's that gonna be?
I need to get that out before it turns septic.
Alcohol?
I don't know.
Ugh.
Sleep it in.
Leave it in.
Leave it in.
You are a, oh, you are self-sought of.
Be nice.
You're a doctor.
Dr. John Watts.
Feet people are having a field day.
Dude.
I think we should go home.
I concur.
Do you concur?
Oh, he didn't think he's going to agree to that.
Just hold on.
We're going home.
I'm going home.
We're going home.
Via Switzerland.
Fire Switzerland.
Then in peace, sir.
Yeah.
Drop in and see my brother.
I'm sure it's missed you.
We missed him too.
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,
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.
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.
Get my private and personal supply of oxygen, and you're not to touch it.
That's my vape.
I've arranged for documents to be prepared which allow you into the ball.
Do we got to bring back Mycroft's hairstyle?
We didn't really know what is planning.
It won't be another bomb.
No, it won't be another bomb.
It doesn't make sense.
Why would he attack all the nations?
Only to unite them.
It'll be an assassination.
Oh.
By a lone gunman at close range.
René.
Unfortunately, yes.
Jesus.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
I've never done this before.
Just.
Dance?
My lead.
Yep.
She never danced once,
despite her nomadic culture.
Yeah, I think we're supposed to be shipping them, right?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
so could Irene be a different actress

ensure he doesn't give himself away like a gambler can see
a tail oh boy Fraterini I think it might be him you think your clock is ticking you have to
be sure he has blue eyes Jared Harris does single miscalculation will cost you the game
Blitz chess if I tackle the wrong man to the ground I could start a war

reason to me nervous tonight huh huh oh are we oh I don't know oh shit oh shit
so perhaps it's the opposite what are you saying an actor so consumed with
his performance that the one characteristic he cannot accommodate is
spontaneous reaction huh oh who didn't who didn't who didn't

Ooh.
Smythes.
Rook to Kings, Rook three.
Check.
Not even using the pieces no more.
Oh, Bishop to Rook 3.
Dude, he's so hard right now.
Its importance was not fully apparent to me until I observed your conscience for feeding pigeons.
Then it occurred that with an empire so enormous, even you must keep a record of it somewhere.
Bishop takes Bishop.
Broke to Bishop 4.
I then only required the notebook itself.
Yeah, their memories, man.
Oh, need to endure a considerable amount of pain.
Whoa, shit.
Wow.
Damn, dog.
But the notebook would undoubtedly be encoded, so how can to break the code?
Oh.
Rook takes rook.
Porn takes rook.
Bishop to Bishop 7.
Oh.
Takes night porn.
Does the art of domestic horticulture mean anything to you?
There was an insert on it.

You're completely to collect the flowers in his own window box.
Yeah, I saw that.
Irony abounds.
It must be exhausting to be these guys.

Embers.
Oh, shit. They did it.
They did it.
He saw him. That was so sad.
I believe that is
one of the classic
Holmes Moriarty conclusions.
Yeah, like they plunge off of a
cliff together or something but him seeing watson as he was doing it knowing oh this is for you my guy
moriarty raging to the end and holmes just at peace oh be locked in this dance forever a few words
may suffice to tell the little that remains whoa that was very effective any attempt at
Finding the bodies was absolutely hopeless.
Jesus.
Oh, these little orphan boys.
Deep down in that dreadful cauldron
of swirling water and seeding foam.
Got away with words, man.
Well, lie for all time.
He played the game for the game's own sake.
He did.
And the foremost champion of the law
of their generation.
Here, here.
I shall ever regard him as the best.
Dude, Irene's dead.
I am not there yet.
This shit's crazy.
I don't think Sherlock's dead, and I don't think Irene's dead.
Whom I have ever known.
No.
John, you should probably pack.
It's half-fuss, too, and the carriage is coming at four.
Oh, dude.
It's going to be a beautiful week in Brighton.
Hey, finally.
It'll be fun.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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,
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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,
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,
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
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?
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
That's right.
Oh, Gigolo Joe.
Remember artificial intelligence?
Damn.
Giglo Joe.
Oh, AI.
Yeah.
I haven't seen that in friggin forever.
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.
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.
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
Okay, you do you
The genetic opera
No, no, I'm kidding
Oh yeah, the aviator
I'll pick X's
Road to Perdition was excellent
Yeah, I would need more time with this
But we did our very best
To answer your question, thank you
But there was a second part of this
Yeah
Okay, the second part of it
Was your favorite deduction made
by Sherlock in this and in the previous movie
Keep up a good work
And chow from Sardinia
Oh boy
Who's your favorite to Doug?
See that's the thing is these movies are dizzying
And watching them once
Is like such a blend of like
It's moving really fast
It's there are a lot of details at you
Then you're like in his perspective
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
mushroomy
whatever thing
that they used
me trying to recall
these
I was gonna say
I mean you know
the thing with the whole
like facial
reconstructive surgery
that was cool
pretty interesting
yeah
um
yeah
yeah
stuff that comes to mind
is not necessarily
deductions as much
as it is like
you know
things that he did
like that whole thing
with a lipstick
or whatever
yeah that was really cool
um
god I feel like I'm gonna fail
this question
no those were good enough
we did a good job
those write them in the comments and we'll tell you if we ever come back for three yeah that is
sherlock two uh wait do we find out if there's a third one what was the uh i looked and it said
basically that they've been talking about it for a long time and as of 2024 jude law
mentioned that there's a new version of the script in the works uh dexter fletcher at one point was
rumored to maybe be attached but that could be totally different now yeah i like dexter fletcher
in terms of, like, people to take over.
What about Rachel?
No idea.
And I feel like they would have a perfect opportunity
to friggin bring her back.
So, I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm hoping.
Cure for tuberculosis.
It was pretty sick when he knew that guy
was in the friggin rafters.
That was kind of cool.
That was cool because the B.O. smell.
Yeah.
I mean, just the, all the chess at the end was pretty great.
Well, thank you to our patrons
for those questions.
Thank you to all of you guys for watching.
We really appreciate you.
If there ever is a Sherlock Holmes 3, we certainly will be here.
We're waiting for it.
Trip you moist in the house.
John, any final thoughts before we get out of here?
No, just love the cast, love the production values.
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.
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.
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!
