Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey dive into The Green Mile, the powerful 1999 classic directed by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Mist). Set on death row at Cold Mountain Penitentiary during the Great Depression, the film follows veteran guard Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks – Forrest Gump, Cast Away) as he encounters a gentle giant of a prisoner whose presence changes everyone on the Mile forever. That prisoner is John Coffey, played by Michael Clarke Duncan (Armageddon, Daredevil), a man convicted of a horrific crime but possessing a mysterious, miraculous gift that seems to heal pain and reveal truth. As Paul and his fellow guards wrestle with faith, justice, and what it means to be truly good, the Green Mile becomes a place where the line between the human and divine blurs. The supporting cast is stacked with memorable characters: David Morse (Contact, Disturbia) as the loyal head guard Brutus “Brutal” Howell; Bonnie Hunt (Jumanji, Cheeper by the Dozen) as Jan Edgecomb; Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Jojo Rabbit) as volatile inmate “Wild Bill” Wharton; Doug Hutchison (Lost, Punisher: War Zone) as sadistic guard Percy Wetmore; Michael Jeter (Sister Act 2, Patch Adams) as trembling prisoner Eduard “Del” Delacroix; James Cromwell (Babe, L.A. Confidential) as the stern Warden Hal Moores; Barry Pepper (Saving Private Ryan, 25th Hour) as inmate Dean Stanton.

been a thick day thus far, sitting in the cats for Greg while he's away for his birthday.
Just did a live stream with Koi as we are shooting this, and now I am ready for a thick boy
of an adaptation. Very excited. I've heard about this movie over the years, but I haven't seen
a lick of it other than that couple images of Michael Clark Duncan and Thomas Hanks. So, yeah,
how are you feeling, man? I'm excited. I'm excited, too. Yeah, I drank like a
natural energy drink before this, and I am feeling the effects of it. Oh, good. So, yeah, I am
hyped, and I think I'm ready for the mindset to be in this movie. And it is a thick boy. It's like
three hours and nine minutes, according to IMDB. So, yeah, we're in for a marathon, but I'd say
well-loved marathon. So I'm excited to see where that takes us. So that's where I am feeling in this
moment. Before we get into the reaction, I just want to let you guys know that we have

Damn, he was in Shawshank, too.
Is he a Frank Deribant regular?
This is interesting, like, I don't know, like echoed out audio.
Like, you can't really hear what's happening.
Or it's, like, slowly starting to come into focus.
Yeah, I hear dogs.
I am very concerned for the implication of that ripped piece of cloth back there.
I really hope that didn't come from a dress of some kind.
Oh, boy.
Oh.
You love your sister.
You might get in the last, no way happens.
Whoa.
Real type of shot.
Nice color.
Nice shadow contrast, I should say.
Looking good, man.
Yeah.
Look at that.
Old people have it so good.
Dude.
Back to the cafeteria.
Some Danish this morning?
Two pieces of dry toast take to things.
Left over is fine.
Aw.
Same as always.
Cold as man.
Mm-hmm.
Especially on those long walks.
Like long walks on the lawn and toast?
Don't let Nurse Godzilla catch you.
What's Nurse Godzilla?
Where do you go?
Every day.
Just walk.
Kind of sounds like Tom Hanks.
Is he going to walk a mile out in the greens?
Mm-hmm.
I don't even walk amongst the cows, huh?
That's cool.
You're going to feed the birds or something with that toast?
Oh, no.
No?
He just likes his cold toast.
My toast.
My pocket toast.
Yeah.
Saving it for a rainy day.
Whatever you do, if you find a mysterious book, do not read it.
Oh, Jerry Springer, classic show of the 90s and early 2000s.
Why do we always watch this stuff?
It's interesting.
A bunch of in-bred trailer trash.
All they ever talk about is.
That's kind of true.
The one that causes people more than...
Is going to let you try the body strider.
Yeah, you can't come back.
Whoa.
Are you all right?
You look tired.
You're not yourself.
No, I'm fine.
I promise.
Uh-oh.
I just didn't sleep well, so.
I had a few bad dreams.
It happens.
I'll be fine.
Well, Scott, too, so troubled.
Well, if Madge doesn't care, I certainly don't.
I haven't seen a quality program in 25 years.
I've had to be.
And my heartbeats so that I can hardly speak
Hmm
Aww
What's this bringing back for you, man?
Aww
Aww
Aww
Aww
Oh
Oh
Oh
Is the movie is self-triggering our memory, or is it just the sight of young love?
Whoa.
Where is this place?
I guess sometimes the pest just catches up with you whether you wanted to or not.
Hmm.
Was it the film?
I haven't spoken of these things for a long time, Elliot, over 60 years.
Dang.
I'm your friend.
I ever tell you that I was a prison guard during the Depression?
Oh, snap.
The dimension that I was in charge of Death Row
that I supervised all the executions.
I knew he's...
Okay.
Death Row was called the last mile.
We called ours the Green Mile.
Oh.
The floor was the color of faded lines.
Fascinating.
We had the electric chair.
Oh, sparky.
We called it.
Of course.
Oh, I've lived a lot of years, Ellie.
But 1935, that takes a surprise.
He's definitely the older Michael Clark, Dunker.
There was also the year of John Coffey and the two dead girls.
John Coffey.
Ooh.
Oh.
Oh.
Damn.
Production values on this are going to be wild.
Yeah.
Look at how many people they got.
Jesus.
Yeah.
All right. This is post-slavery, but it's definitely, you know, feels reminiscent and it feels like it's in the South.
Awuga!
What was the old guy's name again?
Paul?
Paul?
I think it was Paul.
Barry Pepper.
I'm more a friend of Larry Salt, personally.
Oh, yeah.
Oh shit, and then David Morse?
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
You're in pain?
Oh, yeah.
You got that urinary tract infection.
There's Paul.
Oh, I hate that for you.
Oh, God.
Piss and razor blaze, yeah.
Oh, I hate that for you.
UTI is no joke.
I'm not going to have one, but geez.
You should have took the day off going to see the doctor.
Sounds painful, though.
The new arrival, you know better.
It's not as bad as it was.
You're just clearing up.
Yeah, you got a whole two drops.
out of there. At the time of filming this, I recently saw Shawshank, so this is going to be an interesting
compliment. Shawshank's great. Love that movie. It is a tremendous film. Might be a
perfect film. What do I do? Do you boss of springs? Oh, Jesus. Ouch.
Dead man. Dead man walking. Oh, crap. You might want to reconsider getting in the cell with this guy.
He's a nonsense.
Can't be bigger than you.
I knew that old guy and then Tom Hanks sounded similar.
Dead Man Walking from the director of The Walking Dead, or at least the first season of Walking Dead.
Dead man walking here.
Jesus.
What a torture.
Dead man walking.
Is that Graham Green?
No shoes is so unhumane.
It's enough.
Jesus.
because another movie is going to be full at that guys

kind of dehumanizing him in a way
I'm not going to hand me trouble with you big boy

I get why the cast was king fin

Percy, you're moving house down in the infirmary.
Why don't you go see if they use
some help?
Nah, they got all the men they need.
Nah, get the hell out of here, Percy.
Uh-uh.
I don't care where you go, Percy.
Oh, you're cruel.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What's your deal? Why you saw
Ugh.
Damn it, Percy. Get the hell off my block.
Yeah, dude, don't come back.
Yeah, it feels like one of those guys that had no power in life,
so they utilize this to feel powerful.
Yeah.
Job like this.
It is Graham Green.
R-I-P.
Damn.
Like Percy's shorter than everyone in here, too.
I let Harry take those chains off you.
You're going to be nice.
I miss Michael Clark Duncan.
I thought I saw him at a Target once,
and I realized it was impossible, and it really hit me then.
Man.
Your name is John Coffey.
Oh,
Mm.
Like the drink.
Ha.
I did not spell to say.
Oh, you can spell, can you?
Just my name, boss.
Oh.

If I'm not here, you can ask for Mr. Terwilliger,
Mr. Howl, or Mr. Stanton.
Bob Terwilliger.
Questions.
Oh, friggin Dale's over there.
Do you leave the light on after bedtime?
Because I get a little skin in the dark sometimes.
Aww.
If it's a straight plate.
Oh, buddy.
He's a big softie.

Whoa.
Treating was a fellow man, yeah.
Come on.
Here we go.
You son of a bitch.
You can sit.

Oh, Deliquois car, take them down to the infirmary

Oh, it's the kids.
Oh no, oh no, oh no.
Oh no.
I don't even know what this sound is, but it's making this feel more intense.
It's like haunting sound in the background, blood all over the place.
Yeah.
Oh, this is what we saw in the beginning.
Yeah.
Ugh.
Jesus.
Was that the cloth we saw?
Was it that pattern?
What the hell?
Whoa.

Jesus.

Oh my god.
Holy shit.

God, the hair, the blood and the hair.

Oof, his face.
Hey, James Cromwell
Farmer Hoggett
How's that pretty guy of yours?
Melinda's not so well, Paul
Not so well at all
Uh-oh
My headaches
Got laid up with another one yesterday
Boy swung yet
I'll be taking over to Vicksburg
Next day is over some tests
Oh wow
It's something they can see on the X-Rack
Maybe it's something they can fix
Here's hoping
This just came in
D-O-E on Bitterbuck
Bidabuck
You didn't come all the way down
They'd just a hand me a DOE.
The true you ordered Poisey-Wetmore off the block?
It is.
Uh-oh.
I'm sure you had reason, Paul, but the wife of the governor of this state has only one nephew,
and his name, Percy Whitmore.
Percy calls his aunt and squeals like a schoolroom sissy.
No.
He assaulted prison this morning, had a sheer petulance, broke three fingers at Edwaddeiard's left hand.
I didn't hear that part.
Of course he didn't.
The man is mean and careless and stupidness.
A bad combination in a place like this.
Yes, it is.
I'm gonna get somebody hurt or worse.
Stick with it, Paul.
May not be much longer.
Poisey has an application in a Briar Ridge.
The mental hospital.
Oh, good.
Administration job, better pay.
Then why is he still here?
Why?
Yeah, with his connections,
he could have any state job he wants.
You know what I think.
He likes frying people.
I think he just wants to see one cook up close.
Oh, boy.
Sick.
He'll get his chance then.
Maybe then he'll be satisfied and move on.
In the meantime, you'll keep the peace.
Coles.
You and Melinda
my love, okay?
And show that
X-ray turned out
to be nothing at all.
I'm afraid
I can't do that, Dave.
I hope he's right.
Something tells me
not, though.
Death Warrant.
Cold Mountain Penitentiary.
I've never seen Cold Mountain, the movie.
There's a movie called Cold Mountain.
Never heard of it.
Nicole came in in Jew law.
I think Jack White's in it
somewhere. Wanted some Oscars back in the day.
The music too loud.
Turn down the devil racket.
Just as big empty spot in the bed where my husband usually sleep.
Oh, it's her.
Worried about Melinda and Hal.
Is that what's got you up?
What is her name?
It's going to drive me crazy.
Yeah, I recognize the face.
I just can't put a name to it either.
You got a new inmate today.
Simple-minded fellow.
Do I want to know what he did?
Hmm.
You can have all you want.
I still got something wrong with my water works.
Oh, no.
I'll put it on to you.
No.
Have you seen Doc Bishop yet?
No.
He's just going to want me to take sofa tablet.
It's not.
and the rest of the week,
Pugh can never call in my office.
They will run its cause all by itself.
Jesus.
Interesting to hear the significance of him having a UTI in this movie.
Oh, boy.
Paul Dean.
Wow, I'm just cleaning the chair every time, huh?
I guess the legislature loosened up those price strings
enough to hire on a new car.
Oh, no.
What?
Look in.
Oh, no, little guy.
Oh, little mouse patrol.
And I ain't normal for a mouse to come up on people this way.
Maybe it's ready.
Oh, yeah, it could be.
Big scary mouse.
Aw.
We'll be hip deep in my surroundings.
I just want to see what it'll do in the interest of science like.
Yeah, yes, of course.
Willemouth, will a mouth, will a mouth.
eat a vanilla wafer
away for me
captain
this music is fascinating
yeah I was just thinking that
oh
I'm out
I got what I needed
yeah
I'm gonna go alert the crew
he's in the damn
restraint room
And you just know he's chewing the padding out of the walls,
making himself a nice little nest.
Go get the damn mouse.
Leave the mouse alone.
Let's put him outside.
Company March.
Not with a mop.
So be a mouse go-bye.
Can't put anything over on you.
Whoa.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, that is a lot of stuff to clear to get it one.
mouse. I'd say just leave it.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
All these extra
cells you're just using the storage? Interesting.
Wow. Oh, it's in the padded cell.
You cleared off the padded cell. Got it.
I guess I'm glad no one's had to spend any time in
the restraint room.
You let him get past you.
Oh, I did not.
I've been here all the time.
Where the hell is he? Three grown men.
How smart of a mouse?
of mice and three grown men
Bright side is all this commotion
Probably scared him off of good
Yeah that's the last we'll see a ham
It was not the last time they saw of him
Surprise Morgan Freeman would be pretty fun right now
Hey
Oh you're so cute
Little guy
Wait for me chief
Looks like a real mouse
He must have had a mouse wrangler on set
Oh no
Don't let friggin'
Percy near this thing
No
No no
No
No
You're probably going to step on it
You little son of a bitch
There is
Big as Billy be Frigged
I thought brutal was pulling my leg
It's a goddamn mouse
Yeah
I'll be jivered
Begging for food
Oh no
Come right on up to the desk
I hate this
No
Were you gonna shoot the friggin' thing?
Brave little bastard.
Gotta give him the hand.
Everyone's just trying to throw a little spats.
Oh, these guys look so different without the beard.
Yeah.
Oh.
This guy's got a good mouth open.
Oh, Jesus.
Mouth-breathing man.
Oh, no.
Cheese wafa.
No, no.
Perfectly to give a mouth.
You.
Oh, my God.
Wow, dude.
Freaking psycho.
Bro.
What the shell?
Percy.
Percy, that's not the way.
Yeah.
Percy, thank God.
Yeah.
I'm going to rip your disease head off.
Dude, you belong in a cell.
Right.
Put him in the proud and cell.
Yeah, dude.
You are a murder case waiting to happen.
You are a.
beating or some kind of horrible action
waiting to happen
Boy, she met your mouse
Let him here somewhere
I'm going to squish
A little son of a bitch
Oh god
I did not like the emphasis
on squish she just gave there
We already tried that
Huh
What did you say
Let him have his fun
Though I will say
If they wanted to just catch the mouse
Once he came out
You just cover that little bottom part
And then just like, I don't know, put a cup of them or something.
You want to think about what you were doing just now?
I was trying to get the mouse.
You're all so scared to live in crap out of me and Bill.
Yeah, you're freaking...
Not to mention the inmates.
Unstable person.
They are in cradle school.
Bluh.
They under enough strain as it is.
Men under strain can snap, hurt themselves and hurt others.
That's why our job is talking, not yelling.
Yeah.
You better to think of this place like as an intensive care ward of a hospital.
I think of it as a bucket of piss to drown rats in.
Get this guy out of here.
You kiss my ass.
I'm so used to the abode abusive prison guard trope that it's refreshing that all the other ones are normal.
Or least seem like decent men, except for Percy.
We all know your connections are, Percy.
You ever threaten a man on this block again.
We all going to have a go.
Job be damned.
I'm looking forward to it.
What'd you do, man?
Arlund.
Oh, yeah, why are you on the Grand Mile?
Two rehearsals, ugh.
Ah, sun down, sitting down, rehearsing now, everybody.
What?
Step forward.
Stepping forward, stepping forward.
Harry Dean.
Jesus, praying, praying, Lord is my shepherd and so forth and so on.
And so on and so on.
Never do it again, that's for sure.
Pray and still praying, getting right with Jesus.
Do it quietly, y' old gink.
What the hell?
Sitting down now.
Seating old sparky.
What do I do?
Watch and learn.
If you accidentally fry this guy, man, I'm going to be...
No.
Don't put this man near any kind of dials, buttons or otherwise
Getting clamped
Getting wired
This is rehearsal, a trial
How many times have you done this man
Yeah, it's just a morbid thing
Just so inhumane
This is this
Method
On a bit of book
You have anything to say before your sentence is carried out
I'm a fried chicken dinner
Graviona taiters
Yep
I get to have May West sit on my face
Cause I'm one
I'm one fucking
Jesus
Oh my
Regular cut up
Wow
One more remark like that
I'll have Van Hay rolled on two for real
And I'll have one less crazy old trustee in the world
It was pretty funny
Wow
I don't like it
We'll be doing this for real tomorrow night
There's no jokes
When anybody remember some stupid joke
Yeah.
You ever try not to laugh in church with something funny, get stuck in your head?
Is the same goddamn thing?
Yeah.
I'm sorry, Paul, you're right.
Yeah, they have some level of respect for what's happening right now.
Yeah, this is a very morbid thing.
What's you're doing?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
That's how that's done.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
You'll never throw the switch on a man without that.
Was, he just going to burn his hair off?
Wow.
You put the black coat on to make it less graphic for the people watching?
Your electricity should now be passed through your body until you are dead.
And according to state law, God have mercy on your soul.
Jesus Christ.
Roll on two.
Camera rolls.
Come on, y'all.
Oh.
Want to know what this has showed up a day early.
Oh.
Ah ha ha ha.
Don't tell Percy.
Yeah, run the little guy.
Alright, let's do it again.
Let's get it right this time.
Get that idiot out of the chair.
Love me a symbolic mouse.
Gosh.
Oh, God.
you'd have like whole groups come by for something like this this is
there's not much to do on a Saturday night you know I guess not you know the 30s were
different buy some tickets oh just shaking his head so he can get electrocated
you think if a man sincerely repents on what he'd done wrong that he might get to go
back to the time that was happiest for him live there forever
could that be what heaven's like I just about believe that very thing
Yeah.
Had me a young wife when I was 18.
Spent her first summer in the mountains.
I made love every night.
Dang.
She'd lie there after, bare-breasted in the firelight.
And we'd talk sometimes to the sun come up.
Aw.
Wow.
It was a beautiful image.
That was my best time.
Think of that, man.
Yeah, go there.
You'll be fine.
You'll do fine.
Bro.
Also, even though I know this isn't the way,
there's a level of, like,
sad morbidness to the fact
that this actor just passed in real life
yeah totally
gives an additional weight of mortality
yeah you gotta die with a wet head
terrible
yeah that's got to be big
uncomfortable
oh oh I hate it
the electricity you hear in the background too
this now feels so much heavier
and more awful than what we just saw
a minute ago
God have mercy on your soul
Oh my god
Oh my god
I hate it
I hate it
I already feel it on my chest
Yeah the crackle of the
Current
Ooh
Roll on two
Oh
Oh
Oh
my god
He's frying
Oh my god
This is so sick
Yeah, I never had the detail about the sponge.
It's wild.
God, this is so, oh, no.
Oh, no.
He's not dead?
Again.
Oh, God.
Again.
Oh.
Jesus.
Adio's chief, drive us a card from hell
Shut up, Percy
Isn't they call the Native American chief
In Cuckoo's Nest?
He's paid what he owed
He's square with a house again
So keep a goddamn hands off him
Yeah, man
Sick freak
You are the worst
Oh man
Like if they're gonna sentence someone to death
At least like
I don't know
I feel like shooting will be even more humane at least
Than is instantaneous
Exactly
And I put them through so much pain
And I don't you just move on, take that job at Briar Ridge.
I know all about it.
Sounds to me like a pretty good job.
Pretty good pay?
I might just take it too.
As soon as you put me out front, I want brutal spot for the next execution.
What is wrong with you?
It gets off on it.
One time, you be rid of me.
I swear.
And if I say no.
I might just stick around for good.
All right, let's move up the next execution.
Right.
You sit on his lap if you want to, if we get you out of here.
Yeah.
Oh, that's right, Michael.
I was just thinking of the last scene.
I was like, because I've heard about this movie.
I only heard him talked about.
I thought he was like the lead,
or at least co-lead of the movie.
But he's very much a supporting character,
at least at this point in this first act of the story.
I was going to say, we're only in the first hour.
Give it time.
You are not going to believe this.
No.
Oh, wow.
I don't tame me that mouse.
Damn me that mouse.
Watch this.
Watch what he do.
Watch what did he do.
Oh, wow.
Wow.
What happened to your hand?
Oh, they broke his finger.
Oh, that's right.
That's right.
Yeah.
Be smart, Mr. James.
Mr. James.
That is named.
He whispered in my ear.
Eh.
Could I have a box for my mouth so he can sleep in there with me?
I notice your English gets better when you want something.
Want to say what else he can do?
Is he, like, Cajor or something?
I have no idea, but I like it.
Play fish.
Show the La Laysia.
Play fish.
They call me the gambit.
I'm gonna make on everyone on the hill.
We don't be knowing that it ain't coming off.
Without that don't gonna come off with it.
I'm so sorry, beautiful.
I want this to be gentle.
Who is your dialect coach?
The Minions?
Whoa.
Cool.
Oh, a little guy.
A little false tree.
Oh, my God.
He's so cute, don't.
That's so smart mouse, Dale.
Like he's a circus mouse or something.
Oh, yeah, he is.
Take his show on the road.
He's a circus mouth.
And when I get out of here, he's going to make me rich.
You just watch and see if you don't do that.
Uh-oh.
Percy, get out of here.
No.
No.
Looks like you find yourself a new friend there, Dale.
Do I not chase?
Yeah, that's the one.
Liddell says his name is Mr. Jingles.
I'd call him Tricky Mouse.
Dells's been asking for a box.
Oh, no.
I don't like this.
What do you think?
You know what?
We ought to find a cigar box and get some cotton batting from the dispensary to line it with.
Oh, I don't trust it.
I don't like any of your ideas or your thoughts.
I don't trust it, man.
I wish you had the UTI.
Or is this just the way he plays the game?
I'll be cool about the mouse if you put me on that first.
You got a new prisoner coming in here tomorrow.
William Wharton.
Wharton.
Problem, child.
Dillie, the kid, tattooed on his left arm.
Okay.
Rambling all over the state
last few years, causing
all kinds of trouble.
What do you do, though?
Oh.
Whoa.
Oh, okay.
It's a tumor ball.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh,
That's harsh.
Wow.
Oof, that's big.
That's massive.
Deep inside where they get raised.
Terrible.
She's going to die.
Oh.
Oh, wow, dude.
That's tough.
It's big tough.
Yeah, Jesus.
Oh, my God, dude.
That sucks.
Fascinating detail.
Oh, no.
You gotta go to the outhouse.
It's outhouse, yeah.
Just piss yourself.
Just cut it off.
There!
Wow!
Let there be streams!
God damn!
I hate that for you though.
Oh my god.
Oh, finally.
See, Dr. Bishop, I'm going today.
Dang.
See, we get that new inmates squared away.
That was painful as hell.
Oh, Bill the Kid.
Sounds good, Mr. The Kid.
Sam Rockwell?
Sam Rockwell.
Oh, no way.
Whoa.
Them teeth.
Boys, dope to the gills.
William Porton.
Hey.
Oh.
We're going to have to do this.
Hell raiser, huh?
Look more like a lamp noodle to me.
Hey.
Whoa.
I'm so drugged up, not even a main anymore.
This episode is brought to you by prize picks.
The app that finally let me crash my wife's fantasy sports click.
Yes, I used to overhear her and her friends bonding while I sat in the corner where my arms folded.
Come to my home and I can't be included.
Trying to pretend like, yeah, I know what yards after catch means.
It's so left out, man.
And then I discovered prize picks.
So here's the deal.
It's daily fantasy sports, not gambling.
No playing against sharks or betting against the house.
It's just you versus your own sports brain.
You pick more or less on two or more player stats.
Like, will Luca Donchich score more than 30 points tonight?
Will Christian McCaffrey rush for less than 85 yards?
Sports things.
And if you're right, you win.
Another thing, too, it's fast.
You can make a lineup in under a minute, playing 30 plus states.
And you're not stuck to just NFL or NBA.
You've got MLB, NHL, college football, even e-sports.
Basically, if it has stats, you can play.
And basically, I now can hang out with my wife and her friends.
10 years in the making.
And when I get one right, it does feel good.
So, fellow reject, what you can do today is you can download the Price Pix app.
Use code rejects to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup.
That's code rejects to get $50 in lineups after your first $5.
five dollar lineup prize picks

Oh.
John Cuffer, not a good time at all.
But I need to see you, boss.
I need to talk to you.
I could fix you urinary tract, boss.
Let me touch your Oscar Maya Wiener, boss.
Close.
Boss, you know you ain't supposed to do that.
Mind your business, Dale.
I don't know, man.
I trust John Coffey.
What do you want, John Coffey?
Just to help him.
Whoa.
Oh.
What the fuck?
I spoke too soon.
Oh, he actually is doing it.
What?
He's touching his peeper.

Wow.

he wished he could take it back like he could
suck death out of the
girls and make them alive again

them but just like take back their deaths
but how did they die in the first place
if not the house to
the field like that
boss
What do I do to you?
He fixed my pisser.
U.T. Bain.
I could easily see somebody editing that scene into something way more hilarious.
Leave your Green Mile YouTube poops down below.
Piss for his piss.
Son of a bitch.
Oh, yeah.
The subtitle on that was wild.
What did it say?
It was like urinating forcefully and easily or something like that.
Oh my God.
That's hilarious.
Fascinating.
Hey, honey.
How are you feeling?
Fixing to take you upstairs.
Not too bad.
What's the doctor say?
A.
Oh, you know, doctors.
Gobbled a good mostly.
What are you doing?
Yeah.
Oh?
What does it feel?
Hey.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Good for Jan.
Good for Jan.
Love a love-making coda.
Oh, my God.
I'm making love all night.
Dang.
Paul.
Yeah.
Not that I'm complaining.
Uh-huh.
We haven't gone four times
and one night since we were 19.
God.
Ooh!
I never actually made it into Dr. Bishops yesterday.
A kindly prisoner fixed my wang.
Brutal.
Paul.
Listen.
I'm thinking of taking the morning off sick.
No jobs here.
Transience turned back.
Trepingus Parrish.
What a name.
Man, what a swing said.
Oh, Gary Seneas, let's go.
My pops used to work with Gary.
Senise?
We block supervisor up on
Coal Mountain.
I've heard of it.
Lost a few clients
your way.
That looks familiar.
Is that what
Santa Dan?
Yeah.
Ah.
Gary Sinise, boy.
He had a band
called the Lieutenant Dan Band.
Oh, really?
Yeah, they would play like,
you know,
U.S.O and, like,
charitable shows and stuff like that.
Oh, that's awesome.
Playing hits.
I love that.
John Coffin, causing your problems.
He doesn't like the dark
and cries on occasion.
Oh.
Other than that.
It's cries, doesn't he?
Yeah, he'd say.
You know what he did.
I read the court transcript.
Do we know what he did?
I've wondered if he ever did anything like that before.
Man who does a thing like that,
there's often developed a taste for it over time.
It occurred to me.
Might be easy enough to follow his back trail.
Yeah.
We tried like he dropped out of the sky.
How can that be?
We're in a depression, drifting by the thousands,
looking for jobs.
Looking for that green and grass.
Even a giant-like coffee wouldn't get noticed everywhere he goes.
Hmm.
He is a strange.
There doesn't seem to be.
be any real violence in him.
I know violent man.
Hell, one of them's on my staff.
You didn't come up here to ask me
whether he might have killed before.
He came up here to see if I think he did it at all.
Yep.
We had us a dog.
Mungrel.
You know the kind.
Well, in many ways, a good mongrel dog
is like your n-hriot.
Oh, boy.
You get to know it, often.
You get to love it.
Oh, my.
Particular use, but you keep it around
because you think it loves you.
Ooh.
Not a fan of this analogy.
Nope.
My wife and I were not so lucky.
Yeah, comparing him to a mutt too is...
This Giving Tuesday, Cam H is counting on your support.
Together, we can forge a better path for mental health
by creating a future where Canadians can get the help they need
when they need it, no matter who or where they are.
From November 25th to December 2nd,
your donation will be doubled.
That means every dollar goes twice as far
to help build a future where no...
one's seeking help is left behind. Donate today at camh.ca.ca slash giving Tuesday.
Please, sir.
Whoa.
Oh, no.
He still has the one good eye. I suppose he's lucky not to be completely blind.
Do coffee can cure him?
That dog attacked my boy for no reason.
The same of John Coffey. He was sorry afterwards. But those little girls stayed and marty.
Oh my God.
Oh, my God.

Don't you hold that on me
You big dummy
Bro
That's why
You're not getting at it.
Yeah, that's not going to help you.
You'll keep a civil tongue on my block.
Oh, hell no.
And the face is crazy.
You get that one for free.
That's the last one.
Oh.
Just a little bit of one.
Whoa.
What the hell?
You are insane.
Oh my god, what a guy.
Pissed on me.
What?
You want to be worse in person.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
We've been meaning to clean out that room for a while.
Yeah.
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Just put his ass in there, for sure.
You can come in here on your legs, but you go out on your banks.
Billy the kid or guarantee you that.
Wow.
It's before the tasers.
Oh my God.
Hose's ass.
Piss on me.
Piss on this.
Yeah.
What's the PSI on that?
Oh.
Thank you, Wild Bell.
Nah.
Yeah.
I'll be good.
Honestly, I'll be good.
Honest engine, I will.
I will.
I will.
Honest engine, Jesus.
Rice, he's fetching a pet.
He'll be fine, boys, trust me on this one.
One, two, three.
Wow.
To slide him in.
Scooting them.
All I want to me is a little cornbread, you motherfuckers.
All I want to me is a little cornbread.
You don't deserve cornbread.
You know, it's typically rude for people to go into solitary.
I'll learn my listen.
Yeah, this is the one time.
I'm like, okay with it.
No.
Don't buy that.
Royal Crown.
Is that what R.C. Cola stands for?
Damn.
Paradine!
You didn't go for that moonbook.
Hate this.
Hate this. What did you get a nickel in here?
I wouldn't be surprised.
Oh my god, bro.
Savor it at least.
Jesus.
Oh god.
Oh god.
You still got it in your mouth?
Are you slush it up to spit it at him?
Yep.
Ugh.
Ew.
Ewe.
Wow, oh, hate that.
Hope your bags are packed.
I'm ready to go where we're going.
No!
No! No!
Throw away the key, man.
It's a big day for you, Mr. James.
What's happening?
Folks hurry about your mouths.
What?
Not just prison guards either.
Politician all the way from the state capital, I believe.
What?
Is this an execution?
This feels odd.
No, I feel like they wouldn't lie to him.
All right, let's move briskly, folks.
There's not much time.
All right.
We're rehearsing now.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Tell.
Oh, this is it.
Please don't tell me.
They're going to fry him together.
I don't know.
I think they tell him if this is frying.
Oh, no.
Jesus.
Oh, I hate that.
I don't know what this guy did.
I guess it must have been terrible, but.
Oh, we're still doing trials.
Until you are dead in accordance with state law.
God have mercy on your soul.
Damn, we ain't seen much of you since frigging Billy the kid flipped out.
Yeah, and I don't think they're about to put other guy down
because they would have told him and treated it with more care.
They're a professional.
Let's do it again.
He's so proud.
Hello, Mr. James.
They laugh over that they cheer.
They clap.
Well, that's just aces.
Uh-oh.
Oh, I ain't never seen you smiles or why.
You done good old time
We're happy for you
Uh-uh
I don't like what you're talking to
Um
This guy might have been a joker
in a different life
Oh
Hate that
Uh-oh
Why did you trip them
I didn't mean nothing by it
I was just playing
Come on now
I was just happy
Whoa
Oh yay
Yeah they both suck
Oh my
Oh my god
Oh
my god
oh
oh my god
oh my god
oh my
yikes
oh
Oh, oof.
Somebody touch him.
He may water in his pen like a little baby.
Jesus Christ.
He's going to kill you on your mouse now.
You talk about this to anyone.
I get you all fired.
Oh, boy.
What happens on a mile stays on a mile always has.
This is a very P-centric movie.
Yeah.
Oh.
He's got a little boy.
He loved to have a pet mouse, I bet.
How could a boy be trusted?
They forget to feed him.
Aw, get it.
Oh.
Your wife's not going to take too kindly to that.
Give him the coffee.
How about Mouseville?
Tourist attraction down in Florida.
Ah, Halasie, I think.
Is that right, Paul, Tallahassee?
Moussville?
Is that a knockoff Disney World?
You'd like he's got the stuff.
He is pretty small.
They got this big tin that you go into.
You have to pay.
Is it really?
Might's got earn a living.
Yeah, that's the blade for Mr. Jenkins.
Oh.
You're going to be as sick as a mouse at a dog.
Yeah, buddy.
Mouth sick, young Floyd.
You know, retire a happy.
Oh, oh, no.
No. Percy's out there.
No.
Percy's out there, but also so is frigging.
Psycho.
Oh!
You freaking psychopath!
Oh.
That's not the way to get your dignity back, dog.
That's...
Oh, God.
It's just a matter of time.
You fucking cruel bastards!
Mm-hmm.
Take...
Oh, my God.
Yes.
Do it, coffee, do it.
Come on, man.
Oh, you gonna let the rest of them in on it?
Oh, boy.
I mean, I guess he must be.
Yeah.
Oh.
Please John help him.
Oh.
What the?
Look at the tail.
Mm.
Woof.
Whoa.
What the?
Oh my God.
Is John Coffey like an allegory for Jesus, dude?
J.C.
I could be.
He's a man on trial, but he does miracles.
Wrongly persecuted.
Uh.
Fascinating.
That noise, that like gutter old.
You guys all saw it.
Yeah.
And again, I said it earlier, but I'd really appreciate this movie not going with the
trope of like the asshole prison guards, because they're all pretty decent guys.
Yeah, and they recognize that like nobody wants to be here.
so cruelty isn't going to help
anybody, like, yeah, except for
Percy, obviously.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh.
What did you do?
I hear Dale's mouse.
Yeah, you did.
Your circus mouse.
Oh.
You live in a mouse city down in.
Yeah.
Florida.
Boss Percy bad.
He means. He stepped on Dale mouse
to get back to them.
Yeah, you did.
Bro.
you come along with me you fellas going back to your village game
i'm telling you he said i tried to take it back he probably tried to save them
that's what i'm thinking yeah because why yeah because he didn't say explicitly that he did it and
then we're already entertained or he's already entertaining the idea that he's innocent
i just want to know what happened in the first place to even be in that position
now don't start in on me he's just a mouse never belonged here in the first place my house is fine
You know better at mouse killing than you ought.
Oh.
I don't let anything else around here.
Yeah, you expect me to believe that.
Go look.
I heard the goddamn thing crunch.
Aren't you glad Mr. Jingles is okay?
After all those talk we had about keeping the prisoners come.
Aren't you relieved?
Oh, boy.
What kind of game is this?
It's no game.
See you for yourself.
Yep.
All right damn, Mr. Jingles said to you.
Ha.
Ha.
You switched him somehow, you bastards.
I always keep a spare mouse.
Oh, my wallet.
Fuck me.
Both of you.
It's just who the hell you think you are.
Oh, shit.
Jesus.
With the people you work with.
But not for long.
I want your word.
My word.
I put you at front.
Fidel.
You put in your transfer to Briar Ridge the very next day.
What if I just call up sighting people?
Tell them you're harassing me.
Harassing me.
Burying me.
Go ahead.
And I promise you leave your share of blood on the floor.
Oh, Percy's such a little bitch, dude.
But four men will swear, you stood by?
While Wild Bill tried to strangle Dean to death about that, people will care.
Even your uncle, the governor.
Oh.
I put you out front.
You put in that transfer.
That's the deal.
Thank God.
Get him freaking out of here.
Yeah, dude.
You make a promise to a man.
You shake his hand.
Well, I don't know if that counts.
He's not a man, so.
Put your back in the cell
Billy the kid to see you feel about that
Oh my guys
Dripping in the damn building
Dark and stormy night
Geez
Like a haunted castle
Truly
Even the music's echoing that
That feeling
E for electricity
Yeah, pretty much
Oh, it's his time, no
Dale no
Hey, boy
Say hey, Mr. Jim
Oh
I bet in the book
It probably has more of that stuff
One thing we learned watching Shawshank was like
Yeah, they left certain of like the prisoner's crimes out
That are more horrific
Yes, Dale.
Don't let nothing to happen to meet the jungle, okay?
You take him.
Oh.
I can't have a mouse on my shoulder, wow.
You know.
I'll take a-old.
Yeah.
Oh.
Save his place for him.
Yeah, you take him, John.
You take him to this foolishment be done.
Foolishment.
Aw.
You can't take on the floor of that in the mouth of you?
We'll do it together, most likely.
Maybe take a little.
Vacation time.
Hey.
People pay down
to see him
for the kids.
Ain't that right about hell?
That's right down.
Hell, I pay a quarter to see him.
You're a good man,
I pay double.
Oh.
You too, boss.
Oh.
I sure wish I could met you guys
someplace hell.
Yeah.
Or if I'm in a media.
You didn't.
Oh.
Oh.
I love you, my little one.
Oh, thank you, John.
I didn't know you
new French. I think you said. Yeah, goodbye, my love. I love you, my little one.
He's good and scared. Hope he knows the father Stoughton and Satan's imps awaiting.
Jesus. Oh boy. Yeah. Why is he here? Yeah. Last person you want to see at the front of your execution.
Very different vibe now.
Ugh
Roll on one
Oof
Oof

You be so quiet, so still
No
Edouard Deliquor
You've been condemned to die by a jury of your peer
You have anything to say before sentences carried out
Oh, bud
Besides from what I do,

Oh, you're the worst.
Ass.

You just all you should know.
Oh, you're...
Why?
You're the worst.
Bro, learn a lesson.
After every...
Everything.
A small guy.
Are we going to not do the freaking thing to make it worse?
They're the worst, dude.
You're actually just the worst person alive, and you deserve to be in that chair.
Somebody please notice that there's not a bunch of, like, juice running down his head?
Oh man, I hate it.
Oh, man, I hate it.
Electricity shall now be passed through your body until you are dead in accordance with state law.
God have mercy on your soul.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
Yeah, this is bad.
This is really bad.
He feels it too.
Oh, drunk coffee feels it.
Damn, that font on the clock.
Oh, he knows.
Yeah.
No ripples.
Please stop it.
Please stop it.
Nothing.
Oh, he feels it.
Oh, no.

This is horrible.
Oh, God, oh God.

Like cooking him here.
Oh.
Oh, he feels it.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, what's, what's, what's, what's, wow.
Oh my God, oh my God.
Jesus Christ.
Dude, he's gonna, like, launch into the stratosphere, like.
Whoa, Jesus Christ.
All that because there's no water in the sponge, that's crazy.
Why don't you shut it down while he's still alive?
Jesus Christ.
This is so awful.
Yeah, make them.
Yeah, make them.
Jesus.

Thank you for that.
Put him in the freaking padded sale.
Oh, you say no.
You saw what he did.
Now there's nothing can change that in.
Brassy is not wet.
So he just gets away with it.
Ooh, how it wakes.
Ooh, how it wakes.
What in the blue fuck was that?
Yeah.
There's puke all over the floor up there.
You got Van Hedo in both doors.
But that smell won't go out for five damn years.
That's what I'm betting.
And that asshole, Wharton is saying about it.
You can hear him up there.
What in the hell happen?
An execution, a successful one.
You're not going to write him out?
Can you call that a success?
And Dwar Deliquire's dad, isn't he?
Poise.
I didn't know.
The sponge is supposed to be weighed.
How many years you spend pissing on a toilet seat before someone told you to put it up?
Percy fucked up.
Jesus.
That's your official position?
Don't you think it should be?
It's putting in.
Transfer request to Briar Ridge tomorrow.
Moving on to bigger and better thing.
Is that right person?
Yeah.
Barbecue.
May and you.
Thank you, thank you, piqu, pew, peon.
What the hell did you do?
Uh.
For bill and jelly.
You're about 10 seconds away from spending the rest of your life in the padded room.
Huh.
My guy's the worst, but Sam Roppel looks like he's having a lot of fun playing him.
Oh, yeah, poor O'Dale.
John, you okay?
I can feel it from here.
Oh.
What do you mean?
You could hear it.
Is that what you mean?
No.
No.
He the lucky one.
No matter how it happened, Dale, the lucky one.
Oof.
Well.
Mr. Jane.
I felt a dog
don't think of me back.
Oh.
He felt it too
blew me.
Oh.
Didn't mean to hurt him,
none.
All that hurt
just
get out.
Wow.
Ooh,
I felt chills in my body.
Awful tired now,
boss.
Dog.
I wonder if he is
some kind of
Jesus metaphor.
There's that whole
like,
whatsoever you do
unto my people
you do unto me.
Literally feeling
the execution happen.
Literally feeling his pain,
yeah.
and he can perform miracles.
Still curious what made him cry when he was older.
Oof.
I hate this.
I know.
Huh.
We getting together for lunch.
Oh, shit.
Frigan, it's her.
That's good.
That's good.
Yeah.
What's a bad day?
Sometimes she's not a self anymore.
She swears.
She swear it just pops out.
Nope.
Most awful language you can imagine.
She doesn't even know she's doing it.
Wow.
I didn't know she's ever heard words like that.
To hear us say them in her sweet force.
I'm glad she's having a good day, Paul.
I'm glad for you and Jan.
No.
You got to propose it, man.
Do you got to let him know about coffee?
You don't tell me what's on your mind.
I'm afraid I'll have to smother you with a pillar.
I'm thinking I love you.
I'm thinking I love you.
I don't know what I would do if you were gone.
Oh.
I'm also thinking I'm going to have the boys over tomorrow.
The boys?
Well, you sure do.
Know how to cook chicken.
I guess this is your whole social life.
You can a hoggle them taters?
Yes, I am.
How did you get that name?
You all saw what he did the mouth.
I could have gone rest of the day without you bringing that out of.
He did the same thing to me.
He put his hands on me.
He took my blood infection away.
Praise the Lord.
He came home that day.
He was all better.
Ha.
His subtext.
Huh.
Authentic healing.
I praise Jesus' miracle.
I am.
Oh, yeah.
What's he got to do with us?
You're thinking about Melinda.
Melinda?
Yep, yep, yep.
You really think you can help?
It's not a bladder infection or even a busted my house.
I think there might be a chance.
Hold on now.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Talking about our jobs.
Sneak a sick woman into a sale, blah.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
How would never stand for that.
Bring coffee here.
You know him.
He wouldn't believe anything if there's a fellow on him.
So you're talking about taking John Coffey to hurt.
Whoa.
Yeah.
See, now, the way I figure it, you stay back on the mile.
That way you could deny everything.
What do I have to stay behind?
Well, you can include them in the conversation.
Our boys grown up, gone off to school, Harry's girls.
They all married now.
Right.
You have a future ahead of you.
Brut is a single man.
You're the only one here with two children.
Another one on the way.
Let's not discuss this as if we're thinking of doing it.
Well, what would we be discussing it then?
I'm sure she's a fine woman.
The finest.
Hmm.
I have no doubt, but we don't know it like you and Jandu, do we?
And let's not forget, John Coffey is a murderer.
Is he, though?
What if he escapes?
I'd hate to lose my job or go to prison,
but I hate worse to have a dead child on my conscience.
I don't think that's going to happen.
I don't think it's going to happen the first time.
I don't think he did it at all.
God putting a gift like that in the hands of a man.
Child.
Well, that's a very tender notion, but the man is on death row for the crime.
Like, that's never happened by mistake.
I think a lot of bullets to stop him.
Oh, we'd all have shotgun.
Addition to side arms.
I'd assist on that.
Hey.
If he tried anything, we'd have to take him down.
It's worth a shot.
What are we going to drug him?
Oh my.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
You think this is enough?
I don't know.
Caring for mental patience.
Oh, what?
Jesus Christ.
It's what they heard back in the day.
Here I am, thinking you're studying for the new gig.
I always had them nudie tunes.
Fresh out of icebox.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, no.
I'm going to get some to you, ain't there?
My ass you get some, too.
What makes you think you deserve any?
Is that you a big man picker?
Makes you suitable, all right?
Come on now.
Don't be stenzie hogs.
Come on now.
Oh, oh no. Oh, they need him to shut up.
Yeah, they knew he'd ask for it.
Come on, client, give me a head.
You promised me.
Or else I'll drink this myself right here in front of you.
Do do, do, do on now, don't be that away.
I'll be gay.
That away?
Go spit on him again.
Jesus
What a dank man
And I'm the good way either
Nope
No
I can smell him from here
You give a shivie a sneaking music
Now's now it's like more country
It's like OD
Did you just kill him
Anybody wants out
Now's the time
After this
There's no turn I'm back
So we're gonna do this
That'd be just fine
I'd like to take a ride

Yeah

You're a weasel

Big people

If you're lonely
Just think about him
His lid pipe
Ha ha ha ha ha
Oh
What do you say
If somebody stops my
Coffee got upset
Just after lights out
So we put the coat on him
Locked him in the restraint room
Lay in and kicking a fuss in the other
Coffee, I think it's him.
We go for the ride now.
That's right.
We're going for the ride.
Coffee nose.
You, Harry, Percy, all down the laundry, doing you wash.
I'll take y'all few hours for you back.
Oh, no!
Oh, God damn it, man.
How are you awake?
What is he doing, Norm?
What is he doing to him?
I hate you, man.
That is the devil.
Whoa.
He still his power?
Have me some shine.
Leggars all to have their own electric to quite man.
Ugh.
Oh, I'm glad you woke up for that.
He's a demon, you know, a man.
Yeah.
He's the imps.
He's one of those hell imps they were talking about earlier.
Yeah.
Oh, the night sky.
Look, boss.
Huh?
It's Cassie, deleting the rock and change.
Oh.
Let's go, go, go.
God, wild.
Get this man's shoes.
Please, man.
Love's nature.
All right, big boy, let's get moving, come on.
It's like a potpourri.
It's like, I'm outside.
This is beautiful.
You would not believe your eyes.
I was about to say.
If 10 million fly your flies,
I'd like to make my self-belief.
I really enunciate.

Just comes to me.
Tuned in to the good lord's antenna.
Hmm.
Oh, so what's up?
This is a mistake.
Oh, Christ, Paul.
What were we think?
Is it lay now.
John, you stay.
Wow.
Who the hell goes there to 30 in a goddamn morning?
It's us, it's Paul, I'm brutal.
All right?
No.
Oh, no.
You gotta tell him.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, Jesus.
No.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You stay right where you are.
Relax, now take it easy now.
Don't you move, wait.
I said, hoe.
Hell, put the gun down.
Hold!
Has he got to prove it.

I'll be fine, just let me be.
Wow.
How did I get here?
We were going to the hospital in Vicksburg.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Did I have the x-ray?
Oh, wow.
It was clear.
There was no tumor.

Oh, f y.

Anyway.
Ugh, you didn't get to cough it out yet.
Yeah, man.
I'm worried about this.
You know that, don't you?
Well, I must be doing a cell check and there he'll be dead on his phone.
No.
This is getting back on a mile.
I don't like what's coming next.
I don't know what to expect.
He's gone so long while this will make a noise like he's going to wake up. What the hell happened to him?
He's heightened, Dean. He's heightened bad.
Please let it out. Please let it out, John.
Was it like the mouse, was it, you know, a miracle?
Yes.
It was greater than that.
Oh.
You pissed yourself again?
I want to talk, shout.
I take that tape off.
You're going to be calm.
Why did your mother always say that?
Your mother used to put tape in your mouth?
Nutcoat.
And that's on Will Smith.
What you did to Dale
You accepted like a man
Or else will make you saw you ever born
We'll also
See you beating
Within an inch of your life
We know people too
Are you so foolish
You don't realize that
Nothing's hurt so far
But your pride
What happens on a mile
Stays on a mile
What was that?
Wharf
May I be let out of this coat
Now
Mm-hmm
My things
I don't trust it
I intend to think it over very hard.
Starting right now.
You're about to shoot him?
Yeah, sums up.
You'll talk.
Soon or no later.
Whoa.
What the hell?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
I'm going to breathe it into you.
Are we gonna give it to him? Yeah.
Oh my god, this is insane.
Oh my god.
Oh.
Whoa.
Oh.
Oh.
Easy.
Easy.
Hmm.
Are you all right?
You ain't Percy like he used to be.
Too, these like wheezy little breaths.
What you looking at?
You'll have a noodle.
You all kiss my ass.
Uh-oh.
Whoa.
Yep.
Whoa.
Yep.
Yep.
That's exactly what I thought was about to happen.
Wow.
Wow.
No.
No.
No.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh.
Oh.
Percy sucks, but hats off to this actor.
Yeah, I know.
He did an amazing job.
He's doing a terrific job.
And this is a thankless role to play.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, it was Percy.
Oh, it's Percy.
Weird, two cruel bastards gone.
I punished them bad men.
Wow, Wild Bill.
I saw in his heart.
When he grabbed my arm, I saw what Wild Billy done.
Oh.
You can't have what's in your heart.
You saw what?
Take my hair, boss.
Oh.
You see for yourself.
Oh, man.
No.
I don't know if I want to see.
He's gonna do it.
I don't know if I want to see what he did.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, Lord.
A gift.
Wow.
Oh no.
What?
What?
No.
Is this dude a piece of shit?
Oh my god, dude.
I don't like them red drips and that red brush.
Not at all.
Don't like that.
Don't like the hammer, pounding the nail.
No.
What do we got, Ralph?
Oh my god, no.
What?
I worked you enough for one day.
Oh, God.
Billy did it.
Oh my god, that's horrible.
Jesus
You love your sister
Oh
I'm okay you are instead of you
You're making a noise
A mock you are
I understand
That's what we heard at the beginning
Oh
Oh my God
So how did John know to be there
He kill them with their love
They love each other
Oh my God
Now you see how it is
That's the way it is
Every day
That's the way it is
Oh my god, you just feel so much pain
Percy, son, can you hear me?
I think this boy's cheese slid off his cracker.
I'll cover for you as much as I can't,
even if it means my job.
Wow.
Does this have anything to do with what happened in my house?
Nah.
Does it, Paul?
No.
God, there'd be no way for people to know about what Billy did.
Yeah.
way before forensic and stuff.
Wow. Oh my God, he got the
transfer. All right.
Oh, shit.
For a day.
For a day.
Does hell know that coffee's innocent, I mean.
Oh, man.
Nobody knows, and you can't prove you
on forensic back then.
Does he have the influence to do something about that?
Stop the execution.
No.
That sucks.
There's no way out of this for you, isn't it?
Then both to wind up in the same prison?
I mean, like, how did John know to, like,
how was he in the position to have the girls in his arms in the first place?
This is the first time I've ever felt in real danger of hell.
Talk to him, talk to John.
Are they going to break him out in this movie?
Find out what he wants.
I certainly hope so.
Here's a little rock pick.
Lobos.
Hello, John.
I guess you know, we're coming down to it now.
Another couple days.
No.
If anything special, you want to eat for dinner that night,
I can rustle you up most anything.
Yeah, what do we got?
Meatloaf, be nice, mashed tables,
gravy, okra.
Hey.
Maybe some of that fine cornbridge, Mrs. Make.
If she don't mind.
That sounds like a good meal, man.
What about a preacher?
Somebody to say a little prayer.
Don't want no preacher.
You can say prayer if you like.
Aww.
Me?
Suppose I could if it came to that.
John, I have to ask you something very important now
You don't have to say it
No, I do
I do have to say it
Tell me what you want me to do
You want me to take you out of here
Just let you run away
See how far you could get
You are conspicuous
Would you do such a foolish day
On the day of my judgment
When I stand before God
And he asks me why
Did I kill one of his true miracles?
What am I going to say
That it was my jaw.
You tell God the father, it was the kindness you done.
Yeah, it's fallen orders.
I know you're hurting it were.
I can feel that I want to, but you ought to quit on it.
I want it to be over and done.
I'm tired of being on the road, long less a spell in the rain.
Yeah.
I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with.
Tell me where we's going to, coming from, or why.
Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other.
Yeah.
Yeah, here, here.
I'm tired of all the pain I feel and here in the world.
Every day, there's too much of it.
Yeah.
Can you understand?
Yes, John.
I think I can't.
Well, that must be something we can do for you, John.
There must be something that you want.
I ain't never seen me a flick a shoulder.
Hey.
Yeah.
Oh.
No.
Oh.
Aw, that's beautiful.
Harry Dean's the projectionist, too.
Funny.
Angels just like a neb.
Hmm.
Be all right, fellas.
This is the hard part.
He's got to reassure them.
Oh, give it back after.
Huh.
You know, I fell asleep this afternoon and had me a dream.
Oh.
Dreamed about Dale's mouse.
Did you, Jim?
Mm-hmm.
I dreamed Mr. Jingers got down to that place.
Most Howard talked about that mouse field place.
Hmm.
I dreamed as kids and how they laughed at his tricks, my.
Mm-hmm.
I dream those two little blind hitter girls there.
They're laughing, too.
I put my arms around and set them on my knees and there's no blood coming out of they had me.
He's just five.
We all watched Mr. Jacob from this.
Yeah, man.
Oh, my God.
Oh, you guys don't even know that you didn't do it.
You just hated.
I can feel it.
Yeah.
Be his steak and me.
Oh.
Feel how we feel that.
Yeah, I feel the love.
We don't eat you.
Can you feel that?
Kill him twice, you boys.
You won't kill it.
Baby.
Oh.
Oh, I hate it.
Oh, dude, this isn't going to bring you peace.
I get it.
Left for your face before you stand up, Dean.
Yes.
Oh.
Ugh.
Does it hurt yet?
I hope it does.
I hope it hurts like hell.
No.
John Coffer, you have been condemned to die in the electric chair by a jury of your peers.
Sentence imposed by a judge in good standing in this state.
Do you have anything to say before sentence is carried out?
Hmm.
I'm sorry for what I am.
Oh.
Wow.
You shouldn't have to feel that way.
Please, both.
Don't put that tag for my face.
Take up from my face.
Oh.
Don't put me in the dark.
Oh, yes, right.
Oh,
All right, Joe.
Oh, sponge.
Oh, sponge.
Hmm.
Heaven.
Heaven.
I'm in heaven.
Oh,
Oh, dude.
John Coff, electricity shall now be passed through your body until you are dead in accordance with state law.
May God have mercy on your soul.
On his vessel.
Oh, Dean.
He is the only ones that will know what he did.
Guys in control, you know this is wrong, but what are they like, oh.
What are they going to do?
Yeah, what a predicament.
Yeah, you have to say.
You have to give the old.
Oh, he has to kill the best man, you know.
Yeah.

Whoa, shit.
I was 44 the year that John Coffey walked the green mile.
Whoa.
Damn.
He mustn't blame John.
He couldn't have what happened.
He's just a force of nature.
Oh, I've lived to see some amazing things, Ellie.
A hundred and eight is insane.
Another century come to pass.
Yeah.
I've had to see my friends and loved ones die off through the years.
Oh.
Hell and Melinda, Brutus Hal,

And you will hate, you'll die too.
Oh, no.
And my curse is known that I'll be there to see it.
Oh.
It's my tone, much you see.
It's my punishment for letting John Coffey ride the lightning.
Yeah.
For killing him, miracle of God.
Oh, he just has to live and live.
The source of all being in life.
What a shot.
I'll have to stay.
Well, I'll die eventually.

Think about my beautiful gin, how I lost this a many years ago.
So lonely.
And I think about all of us walking our own green mile, each in our own time.
But one thought, more than any other, keeps me awake most nights.
If he could make a mouse, live so long.
How much longer do I have?
We each owe a death.
There are no exception.
Oh, God.
Sometimes the green mile seems so long.
Oh.
Okay, it's alive.
Buddy.
What a film.
What a film indeed.
Yeah, what a film indeed.
Based on the novel by Stephen King.
Oh, you guys.
Wow.
Um, if you're listening to this on Apple or Spotify, make sure, uh, you go and give us five
stars or whatnot.
I want to thank people over to Prepper for cutting down these highlights.
Thomas Newman.
Thomas Newman.
There we go.
Um, yeah.
So you guys can see this here on YouTube.
Freaking A.
That was a movie and a half.
In fact.
Um.
yeah
so uh we're gonna get into uh some questions in a little bit sent over by our patrons but um before we do that
john how you feeling boy feelings on the movie i'm exhausted i'm rung out bonnie hunt that's her name
um yeah that was incredible it's been fascinating to visit these two frank dera
punt directed movies that are both, you know, adapting the more thoughtful side of Stephen King.
And God, what a tour to force both of these movies were. And so affecting and so well
acted and so kind of thoughtful and poetic. It's fascinating. And I, and again, I wonder how
this reads on paper. I wonder what details may have been spared because this is a thicker movie
than Shawshank is
but yeah
this was so well done
and yeah I went
places I was not expecting
in terms of both
the drama
but also the supernatural
aspects as well
I'm gonna be chewing on
and processing this for a minute
but this was just so
beautifully done
and it has a great ensemble
the production values are incredible
this was you can really feel the the love and the care that went into this definitely so yeah
I thought this was really terrific about you oh man um yeah this movie was beautiful this movie was
really sad and really allows you to appreciate life and you know we watch a lot of movies
here for this channel and this is one of the ones where you know you just kind of watch like
if you were watching this in a theater you just kind of walk out and just kind of in silence
and just like sit in your car for a little bit and just like blonder the experience you just
had absolutely and yeah with the movie like this you just kind of want to soak it in and
kind of sit in it to just reminisce over the things that you just experienced um and yeah i would say
that's kind of home feeling right now i'm i'm feeling this
sense of appreciation and analyz analysis of life and you know how we treat each other and
what it just what it means to to be good what it means to be human um and yeah just appreciation
that a movie like this exists you know my whole life without seeing this movie and thinking about
just the
altruistic nature of
who John Coffey was
and how
like this movie
made me feel like
this is a real guy
like he was just
he just cared
and felt so deeply
for human life
um
yeah I feel like
this guy really just passed before my eyes
and I'm like kind of
a little shuckin by that but also
witnessing how the effects of somebody like that
play into the appreciation for
the experience that Paul had.
But also these performances were all incredible as well
if we're just talking about the film on a technical level.
The music was incredible.
All the performances were really believable.
I was extremely inventive.
invested in, you know, Paul and John and their relationship, and I hated Bill and I hated
Percy with a passion. And I think that those two characters met their face in a way that
was very narratively gratifying. Um, yeah, dude, I'm, I'm, I'm befuddled. I'm just a little bit
at a loss but I think that's okay um that's so you know something added impact yeah
something that's something special you're just kind of caught in the afterglow exactly yeah um
but what is something i will say that's that's a major positive of this movie is that i did not
feel the runtime i was just yeah it was extremely well-paced and did a good job of endearing you
to the characters from the jump and yeah i just uh really really enjoyed it
Such a steady hand.
Like, hats off to Frank Darabon.
I mean, obviously, dude's been around.
He's been doing a ton of, he's done a ton of movies, he's done TV, he's done everything.
But watching both Shawshank and this in tight succession, like, these are incredible.
Like, these couple movies are especially incredible.
And, like, the amount of assuredness it takes to pull something like this off, but also thoughtfulness is wild.
And I know that oftentimes.
things get changed in adapting the Stephen King stories or whatever but um he just seems to be a guy who
like is so well attuned to the spirits of what these stories want to be i assume i imagine it feels
that way certainly like these movies feel definitive sure yeah and yeah just like so much
craft and skill on display and and it's not distracting it's like oh look at me you know it's just it's
to make a movie like this
that, yeah, that glides
and that is affecting
and that, yeah, never drags
or anything like that is really
a mark of immense
skill and prowess.
Yeah, I wholeheartedly
agree. But
I have to imagine we have some questions
that kind of color the rest of our conversation here.
Absolutely do.
All righty.
Okay, all right.
we are now getting into the questions some small period of time has passed between the last thing i said
now because it is very cold in the studio so i currently have a this is the coldest studio we have
they're all in the same air conditioning unit and so every shooting space it responds differently to
that we are in the room that gets coldest fastest yeah we have this shoot room another studio in the
podcast room and yeah this is the coldest of the three to get the others temperate we we have to go
into like a freezing mode in this room so this is a little hard to work against especially when
you're like well I have to leave the AC on otherwise they're going to boil so anyway right
yeah so you guys thank you we got a bunch of questions today thank you so much for sending
these in I'm excited to get into the questions so without further ado
Lob star, the Green Mile.
I'm so glad you guys are watching this movie.
It's, in my opinion, the best Stephen King adaptation.
Question is, what do you think of everyone's performances?
I think no character was wasted in this film.
Agree?
I know.
It was a terrific ensemble.
Everyone's really well cast and everybody shows up and leaves an impression.
even characters who were only there for a small period of time,
you know,
even people who are like in these incidental almost sort of stream of consciousness feeling bits or whatever.
Like, yeah,
this was a real tour to force in terms of acting and casting all around.
Like there's almost not enough that you could say to encompass.
Yeah.
Just the terrific work on display.
Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree.
I think, yeah, Tom Cruise.
Not Tom Cruise.
Tom Hanks was great.
Michael Claude Duncan, R.A.P.
Oh, man.
I didn't even think about that.
He's actually dead in real life as well.
Yeah, he was amazing in this movie.
I don't know if he got nominated,
but he definitely should have
because I feel like it's a not an easy role
to believeably play somebody
who is physically, you know,
very imposing,
yet someone who is so
warm and so loving and gentle and gentle at the same time and but you without feel like it's a hard balance
to sort of walk to be somebody who does physically look so intimidating we're also being so
sincerely warm and and you like you feel protective of him in in a way where you're
You know, he's, he's too good for this world.
You know, you want him to be this, this guy who is so, I don't know, he's, you feel like he deserves better.
And it sucks that he is someone who got the faith that he did.
But everyone else is so, also is really great in the movie as well.
Yeah, I absolutely loved all the performances.
Sam Rockwell was definitely an unexpected surprise and you hated him so much in this movie.
He did a fantastic job.
You also hated Percy and all the other, all the other guards, you know, you really felt for them as well.
You really believe that these four guys were above the average interpretation of what we perceive like prison guards to be.
Because it's normally some like some foul play or like, you know, they're really abusing their power, sadistic.
exactly so i feel like they did a good job of portraying these empathetic guys who just wanted to do
their jobs and really believed in what this guy john coffee um could do for for the world and
and for healing people um and yeah really felt his loss so everyone did a great job um thank you so
much for the question lobster here here all right star dust and madness this is one of those
movies that should have won all the awards.
My Claude Duncan is phenomenal in the role of John Coffey, and I think he was robbed
of an Oscar.
Wow, I wholeheartedly agree.
Yeah.
Who do you think was the cruelest character ever created for a work of fiction?
And why is it Percy Wetmore?
Oh, golly.
Oh, God.
There are a lot of, oh.
There's a lot of really fricked, messed up characters in movies.
um percy because he's just a conniving little bitch who hates who hates people and who you know he has a power complex of like wanting to impose his will on these people that are gonna they're dying anyway and he's just so petty he just freaking sucked but there's a lot of really great bad guys in movies um and just works a fiction in general so it's hard for me to
pin one down because there's so many but all the top of my head percy was pretty awful and so was
um so was bill bill was awfully trash they were both trash um so yeah any any bad characters coming
off of uh your mind right now get no frills delivered shop the same in store prices online
and enjoy unlimited delivery with pc express pass get your first year for 250 a month learn more at
c a max katie uh in cape fear mercer pretty pretty cruel cruel guy nurse ratchet uh in one floo over the cuckoo's nest
very very cruel character uh like i i'm half curious to watch a clockwork orange again when i saw it i found
it i know people love that movie i found it rather off putting and uh alex delar
is very off-putting characters and is, you know, gleefully cruel.
I need to watch it again.
I've been watched it since high schools.
I don't really remember what happened.
Frigin Denzel and Training Day, pretty freaking cruel after a while.
The Calvin Candy and Django is pretty cruel.
That is an immensely cruel role.
I thought he should have got the Oscar for that one.
Yeah, it's terrible.
Yeah.
There are a lot of good.
ones though I'm trying to see if there's anybody I might have forgotten glorious
bastards yeah I'm pretty cruel I mean you know what's the guy's name in
Schindler's list certainly never seen Shindler's list certainly mad cruel it's been
a minute since I've seen it but uh yeah I'm sure there are other good ones but
those are a few that came to my mind I'm sure there are a lot of war movies of
characters like that too I was looking atable villains right now yeah just look
up like you know oh i want to watch road to
oh you know what i just watched who's a pretty hateable dude
who's that um christopher lloyd and um
grim roger rabbit that guy sucks he was he was very evil
he's very evil i will give you that it was very fun to watch but also it was very
evil uh joe peshy in what casino is a pretty
pretty freaking cruel and unpredictable scary guy um
baby jane
whenever happened to baby jane
it's pretty cruel
there were a lot
we could go on
but uh
but yeah
those are something
that came to my mind
yeah those are definitely
some uh some good ones
but i mean percy
yeah percy certainly was uh
definitely again
props to that actor
because uh thankless role
hateable guy
and uh yeah
and brought
you could tell
you could extrapolate who this guy is
from his choices
and that's good
it's like he brought
humanity even though you're never getting very sympathetic with him so yeah but yeah certainly earns a
spot among the cruelest especially in an environment where he provides such a contrast and he's the guy
you were expecting the other guards to be essentially you know uh yeah well definitely thank you for
the question star dust and madness absolutely you're a gem you're a superstar
you were a death on death row what would be your last meal oh it would be like an ADD feast
it would be like give me some sushi give me a burger king original chicken sandwich uh I want a
ficcatcha bread pizza I want a cream soda I want like an Oreo milkshake I want an ice coffee
I want all this shit that I love give me some with lemon in it oh that be nice oh man
It's tough because I'm like, there's so many good foods that I like.
Taramisu, lemon cake.
If I could just have something that I, if I knew I wouldn't get sick
and I could just eat all the things that I wanted to eat,
oh man, let's freaking give me an omelette, give me like a nice, hearty steak,
give me a good burger, some of the best chicken strips in the world,
give me some of the best fries in the world, some bomb sushi as well.
Oh, okay.
We had to go stupid with it.
What else can we get?
We had a fucking tomahawk steak.
Never had one of those before.
Okay.
Yeah, maybe some, I don't know.
Some fried tacos.
Give me one last hot dog.
Classic, you know?
Sure, you know, keep it easy.
Keep it simple.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I would say those would be my, yeah, for sure,
an ADD concoffiny of different things.
Also, some chocolate milk,
because I love me some chocolate milk.
Absolutely.
Yeah, but I feel like that answers the question.
What would your last meal be, guys?
I'm curious to hear all them last meals, yeah.
Thanks for sending in the question.
Here you go.
Appreciate you.
Hey.
A double clap.
All righty then, Melissa Taylor.
Hey, John and Aaron.
This is a powerful film, disturbing, heartbreaking, and hopeful all that
once between playing tombs on the air.
X-Files and Percy Whitmore in this film, Doug Hutchison sure had a knack of for playing
evil sadistic characters. Do you think the film was successful in using Percy's cruelty to
highlight the potential for abuse of power in the justice system? Johnny? Yeah, I mean,
we've seen characters like this in films that have highlighted, I think, something similar.
I think it's interesting the way it is presented here.
And I think that, yeah, he represents the kind of person who you suspect, like, you know, the things that get them off and the things that make them feel, you know, powerful or successful or whatever you want to call it, you know, are not that far away from the people that, you know, he's on the other side of the bars from.
And there are lots of obviously movies that kind of highlight that fact of like, you know, the only difference between these criminals.
and those criminals are the bars
and you're getting paid to treat us terribly, blah, blah, blah.
But I mean, yeah, like, certainly he seems like a guy
who, you know, has all these connections,
wants to be here, who thinks he wants to be the executioner,
who wants to, you know, be that cold iron hand of, quote, justice.
And yet, you feel, yeah, the evil in this guy,
and there are certainly probably people who get into,
I mean, you know, it's well-documented people who can,
can, not always, but can join the military as an excuse to, you know, let out their bloodlust.
There are also people who might, you know, go into a place like a prison, which is, you know,
obviously theoretically intended for either rehabilitation or to house people until the end of life.
And, uh, and yeah, this seems like a guy who wants kind of a free legal license to be cruel and
to lord power. Uh, and that's a very real thing. So, uh, yeah, I feel like he,
it you know in a it was an interesting way to do it having him be the one guard who most heavily embodies that and the rest of the guards the rest of the prison staff are relatively sympathetic in this movie and i think it's it does nicely for what the story's trying to do and also you know pays service to that idea that yeah like you know a lot of the people guarding and conducting the prisons are no better you know yeah no i think uh they
did a great job of performing in this role and I think that yeah it did you know we said it
multiple times in the film that it is surprising that some of the other characters were not
of that sadistic vein but and I think that stems from you know both in real life and
in other films the trope of the evil or you know power abusing guards is is very
prevalent you know i think a lot of people want to feel powerful who view themselves as weak so they
project this thing of being powerful and being in lording that power over people who they feel
otherwise would not submit to them so yeah it is really messed up um the highlighting the potential
for abuse in power yeah i think that did a great a great job of of showcasing that and you
Yeah, I think there just needs to be greater screenings for people in their tendencies and psych evals for people in power because it happens all the time in prisons on the streets and other countries and it needs to stop.
And then, yeah, there's a lot of pain.
It's being caused.
A lot of death.
Unnecessary death is happening all over the world.
One too.
It's like he's not only doing this to take out something on the prisoners themselves.
He's also sort of inflated his own sense of status due to his connections.
And so he's able to like try and leverage that on to the people he works with and, you know, yada yada.
So there is that too.
It's like it plays on both sides.
Not only his torture of the inmates who are under his quote care, but also the way in which he tries to push his superiors and peers around with.
his, you know, unique connections and whatnot,
a person who thinks they're above and outside of the law, essentially.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's really aggravating to watch in the context of the film.
And I have to imagine there's definitely a lot of people in positions of power that, you know,
toss their weight around because like, oh, my dad's a senator, like some shit like that.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm happy you got his come up.
It's because, like, dude, freaking.
sucked. He's a little, little, little bitch boy.
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.
Bad, bad, dude. Thank you so much with the question. I appreciate you.
All right, Brandon Davis.
Thank you for sending in the question.
Just to get it out of the way, I absolutely adore you guys. We adore you too.
Love you.
Thank you. Appreciate you. I always kind of wish Percy had ended up on the mild.
What do you think of that versus?
where he ended up also
rest in peace
gram green yeah all right
p graham green for sure
that's fresh
um
yeah I don't know
that's tough
because like
yeah because I think that would have been a
you know a suitable
fate for him
granted the only person he killed
in the movie was a mouse
and then I guess the
and then that mouth went to
far exceed his lifespan
presumably
But yeah, I think that could have been satisfying, but also him just like in a days and finally getting out of that place and him, you know, being a different kind of prisoner in another location in a mental facility because that dude was messed up.
He had problems even if he didn't murder anybody.
So I think for me was satisfying because he would never be the same after the experience of that prison and John Coffey.
so yeah I think that would have been nice I don't think it would have narratively made sense but I think that from my fan gratification point of view it would have been very satisfying to hit him in the chair without the wet spun so he could feel what Dale field right before he passed and tell him some stuff he doesn't want to know in his final days and hours like well actually um
We talked to every woman you've ever been with, and they say, you have a very small penis.
And they're all here to watch you die.
And they're going to laugh at you.
But, yeah, those are my short thoughts on there.
What about you, Ben?
I was content with where he wound up because it's a death unto itself, really.
And I get how, like, yeah, it's that weird.
the transitory nature of him taking on this darkness that, you know,
John Coffey has absorbed and, and, you know, all of that pain and ugliness swirling around
inside.
And you have to imagine that, you know, Bill's actions were in there, too.
And, you know, Bill is the guy who did, you know, traumatize this, you know, for all the
things you can say about Percy, certainly nobody deserves whatever horrid altercation
happen when you know bill pulls him up in the thing and starts canoodling his bum uh you know
i feel like it yeah for me it was proportional and it made sense that he should you know like
go into this sort of fugue you know unload on bill who is like in a lot of ways the target of
his you know pain and frustration here initially the the number one person who has undermined him
here.
And so to have him take him out, who's a character who we really hate and we know, it's funny.
I've been watching, you know, Dexter obviously on the channel and a big thing that factors
into that is like the code.
And so like it seems like Bill has done more than enough things to justify, you know,
being shuffled off the mortal coil.
Percy's an asshole and a, you know, small person spiritually speaking.
But I don't know if I would have put him on death row necessarily.
And I think the poetic irony of him, you know, one way or another,
getting that transfer, you know, is pretty good.
You know, I think that as a literary kind of payoff is nicely proportioned.
So while, again, yes, as like a movie watching fan, you know, in my id brain,
I'm like, yeah, cook them.
At the same time, I'm like, I think this is a more poetic.
And something that, yeah, certainly still harkens toward the death of something.
And it seems like he's just going to spend the rest of his life in a catatonic state.
So, you know, it's almost worse having to just live and suffer and be this husk than it is to, you know, have it.
I mean, you know, it is also terrible to die because that is permanent and final.
But at the same time, it seems like, yeah, he is able to go on suffering.
And in a way that, you know, now he is a pretty.
prisoner himself and he gets to kind of you know somewhere down the dark corridor of his own mind
live out you know some version of what he was on the other side of so uh as much as it would be more
that if he wound up on the mile i don't know if it would be you would have to do too much stuff
and focus on other things too much i think in the context of this to to do that and then have him
show up as i just feel like it would add a whole other wing of the movie whereas doing
this i thought was like a really nice little ribbon on that story yeah i think it wouldn't have
flowed the same i thought yeah it was suitable for what he uh had uh went through yeah or yeah
but appreciate the question thank you so much all right jaden roads
jane rose talking about the green mile ha ha i'm not sure if you've cried as much watching
the movie before all actors bring it um but my question is i think i think it's i'm not sure i've
cried as much watching oh my bad i haven't dyslexic a little bit no no no it's it's okay it's how it
is written uh there must have been an auto correct somewhere in there but yeah i'm not sure if i've
cried as much watching a movie before all the actors bring it they do they do uh but my question is
since this is a stephen king's story do you think this sticks as one of his best or do you i prefer some
other ones um i think this is one of his best granted i can't speak to all i don't have like
a large experience of all of his work i have it and then i got this and i maybe a couple other
ones that i did not know were him um so yeah what about you man what do you think yeah there's
certain ones i have to see i've never seen misery um i mean you know there's what carry there's
I like the mist a lot
Yeah
The Secret Window 1408
There's a bunch of stuff
In the Stephen King filmog
This is definitely one of the best
I mean like it's it's a toss up
Between like a Shawshank
Or the Shining
Or this and
Not really yeah I forgot shining was him as well
He is just such a wide variety of different types of storytelling
Yeah
He's done so that's
It is tough to kind of pick
but this one for sure stands the towards the top for me just because I think that it just
captures a lot of heart and and pain and humanity in a lot of ways yeah it's this and uh and
shaw shank kind of duking it out and uh you know at the top because they're both they they have
similarities obviously shashank is is you know more grounded and and has a a different
kind of payoff that's a little less you know heart wrenching by the end it's it's a more of a sort of
tears of joy and relief whereas this is you know certainly bittersweet but i think these two movies
are absolutely toward a force i mean it's hard to pick between them and um i don't know how they
read on paper which is why like oftentimes if you're saying like what's the best stephen king's story
it's like you can't i don't necessarily foist the shining first because i'm well aware that it is
not very similar to the book
and so I don't know how this
or Shawshank you know
correspond to their source material
but this is definitely yeah one of the best
as far as I'm concerned
and and yeah
it's either this or Shawshank
like it's they're both fresh
in my mind too so it would be really hard to
choose one or the other they're both
super emotional super touching they
contemplate a lot about the human
spirit and the sort of peripheral
magic and
spirituality of life and what struck me about this was that this
does that but also with a supernatural element
and a certain it's weird this is the other side of Stephen King
there's a stand by me too which I haven't seen a long long long time I feel
like I feel like that could be a contender too but yeah this one struck me in
that yeah it's it's every bit is like the thoughtful Stephen King I've come to
understand but also with some of the more supernatural some of the more you know at I wouldn't say
horror in totality but there is horror in a story like this both of the human variety and of again
the sort of mystery of the supernatural um so yeah it's got to be one of these two I would imagine
but ask me again on a different day and I might give you a different answer to my change these are
really terrific films yeah thank you so much for the question we appreciate you yeah all right
I'll read this one.
Roby, Bobar, Papyrrata.
For John and Aaron on the Green Mile.
Hi, guys, how's it going?
One.
This is one of Tom Hanks' best performances.
So which other performance of his is your favorite and why?
That's a good question, too.
Damn.
And two, what is your favorite Stephen King novel
and which your favorite adaptation and why?
Keep up the good work and chow from Sardinia.
You know what?
I have read precious little Stephen King.
I'm not very qualified to comment on the actual adaptation of and by extension my favorite King novels.
I remember we got really into secret window back in the day and I picked up that one,
that collection of short stories four minutes to midnight or whatever was called.
But I definitely need to read some Stephen King to get you a real answer on this question.
It's, you know, because of the movies and stuff, you have such a cultural osmosis for a lot of his work.
I don't have to think for a second on my other favorite Tom Hanks performance.
I would love to see Road to Perdition again.
It's been a long-ass time since I saw that movie,
but I remember him being amazing in that.
Huh.
That's tough.
I remember I watched it a couple years ago.
I really liked him in Terminal.
Hey, I like the Terminal.
I like the Victorinovorski.
Yeah, I think it's, it's underrated.
Hichit.
Yeah, man.
I like that movie.
Obviously, Forrest Gump is one of his classics.
Yeah, 100% of course.
Yeah, I think I'm blanking on some.
I need to see my Tom.
Castaway.
Big Captain Phillips.
Big, never seen Captain Phillips.
I need to see, I need to watch a lot more Tom Hanks.
But the ones I have seen, those are great.
Obviously, great as Woody.
Definitive answer is actually Elvis.
wait Elvis oh no he's in Elvis that's right no he's uh he's in that as a very contentious
portrayal uh oh da Vinci code of course doi ever seen da Vinci got to be da Vinci code
i'm gonna look at this man's or or uh you know we got how about Larry Crown that's the best
one ever seen Larry Crown I haven't seen me don't worry you're in good present you're in good
company good company Polar Express
that's the best one
awesome polar express
he's actually
he's pretty great
and catch me if you can
I'd throw that up there
I like that's great
catch me if you can
it was great catch me if you can
is rad
um I mean
this is easily
up there with them
this movie was
fantastic
saving private Ryan
is uh is one
you got a shout out
I feel like for sure
um okay
Apollo 13's great
I've never seen Philadelphia
would love to see Philadelphia
I'd love to see the burbs
never seen
I would love to see those.
Or Joe versus the volcano.
I remember liking him as Walt Disney.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, and saving Mr. Banks.
Yeah.
Whatever that is.
There's a Woody car in the Cars movie.
I don't remember that.
Well, look out now.
Oh, ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Shouts out to the lady killers.
I know nobody likes that movie,
but he is very fun to watch, I thought,
as that weird character that he does.
in the lady killers
the Coen brothers version he is like
one of the most
charactery performances
I've seen Tom Hanks put on
a lot of quirks
Okay I need to watch more
Tom Hanks
Yeah man
This might be it
This and
This one and
What's the other one I was thinking of?
The Forest Gump might be his best
For me
He's Green Buller Express
Yeah, those are my two answers

Hi John and Aaron
Hello to you
Well this answers my question
During the Shawshank Redemption Q&A
Whether you had seen this
Yes in fact
Keep your eyes out
That video is probably up by now
I love this movie
But I know people who will never watch it again
because it was difficult to get through.
What are your thoughts on that?
Would you watch this movie again?
Someone already asked you about other evil characters
other than Percy.
I can think of one from Game of Thrones.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joffrey, Ramsey.
Oh, yeah, terrible.
Shitpags on Game of Thrones.
But how would you compare Percy and Wild Bill?
As always, I love your reactions and thoughts.
Thank you so much, Tara.
I appreciate you.
Oh, goodness, gracious me.
Ooh, okay.
I could, this shot,
Ashank, again, is more uplifting as on the whole.
I would watch this again.
I would too.
I don't think I would not.
I mean, it is very emotional and, and there is a lot of heaviness to it.
But that's not the only flavor.
It's not like oppressive wall to wall the entire time.
There's a lot that's very beautiful, that is uplifting, that is sort of triumph of the
human spirit, but also thoughtful and spiritual.
this is the kind of movie that I would be very curious to go back to see again and to pick up
different details from or read into certain things a little more deeply or whatever. So I can
see why you wouldn't want to put yourself through this again, because again, it is very
emotional and heartbreaking. And I know that this is, you know, sort of among the great cry movies.
But I could definitely watch this again. There's just so much great work.
Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree. I think,
We watched a lot of movies here, and, you know, some of them I'd put on again and, you know, just for my own entertainment, because I want to show people.
Other ones, you know, I don't want to think of that again.
Smurfs.
But anyway.
Truly traumatic.
Truly a traumatizing experience that.
Truly.
So much blue.
Requiem for a dream.
All those.
You watch Requiem for a dream here?
I still have not seen it, actually, but somebody here just, just watched it.
I heard it was a, yeah.
And that is the number one.
one film of people saying, you know,
great movie I'll never watch again.
Yeah, I reacted to the,
with the person who watched it afterwards,
and they were definitely messed up by the experience after the fact.
Sure.
Going into a lighter movie was definitely the move after.
But, yeah, I think that it is someone,
the one I would watch and I would want to invite people
who have not seen it to experience it
and then talk about it.
Because I don't think it's like a, the beautiful thing about this movie is the fact that it's three hours and it's not a tedious watch.
It's not a slog fest.
Yeah.
It's very well-paced and it has interesting characters and people you care about.
And I feel like this is one of those movies that you may even benefit from multiple viewings in the first place.
And you knowing the fate of what happens may make watching it even more bittersweet.
I don't know.
I feel like this is one of those ones I would, you know, like a fine wine.
You know, it would age well with more viewings.
But what was the other question?
Was there a second question here?
One, and knowing where it's going to land on a second viewing, I think, might make it a bit easier.
Because, again, you can kind of observe and you know what is coming, but also even his acceptance of death is sort of beautiful in its own way.
Yeah.
It's not dower, even though it's, like, heartbreaking.
It's not a dower movie.
No, I weirdly feel, I don't want to say hova.
I don't think that's the right word, but yeah, it makes you just want to show more care
for people, want to show more love for people in the world and, you know, address those
in pain.
I feel like that's my takeaway from the movie is to just be a better person, just to go out
of your way to try to do what you can to aid and help.
help people in pain in your small corner of the world.
I think that is the legacy of Mr. John Coffey and what we should take away from it,
or at least what I'll take away from it.
But yeah, thank you for the question, Tara.
Appreciate you.
Do we get Percy and Wild Bill?
Oh, my bad.
We've already talked some about this.
We did.
How did you compare them?
I think Wild Bill is actually a psychopath, and I feel like Percy may be a sociopath.
feels like nature and nurture like wild bill just feels like this feral thing whereas percy sucks
but certainly feels like a more political animal you can kind of see how this guy might
have got this way or you could imagine what influences led to this whereas wild bill just seems
completely unhinged he had some craziness in him before wild bill him came to the picture
because he's, like, tearing the place apart trying to get that mouse.
I was like, I'll squish it.
I'll squish the life out of that mouse.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So there was some, you know, some tennis season there.
He reeks of a guy who's been made to feel small and who wants power,
but doesn't really have the grit yet to actually be shit.
Yeah.
You know.
I feel like he, yeah, he was a little small dick of boy.
He wanted to be a big dick boy, but he didn't have the energy to do that.
So that sucks on you.
You go fucking rod.
a hole and think about what you
did forever on the loop. But yeah,
that's how I feel about that.
Thank you so much for the question, Tara.
Appreciate you.
All right, Johnny Boy, is our last question.
Keanu-Chinell. Thank you for chiming
in, the Green Mile. Hey, Studs!
Hey, yourself.
I hope y'all are doing swell
this fine Friday slash
whenever this is uploaded
slash the day when this is
uploaded. This movie is incredible
and heartbreaking. The performances are
top notch, especially from Michael
Clark Duncan, rest in peace, and
Tom Hanks. Do you all think
justice was served in the end, despite MCD
still dying, and do you think Mr.
Jingles is still alive and thriving?
Again, hope y'all
and all of the fine citizens of
Reject Nation have a swell day and week.
Same to you. I hope you're doing well out there.
Thank you for taking the time,
you know, to check this one out, because this
is a thick boy. Thickums.
But yeah.
Yeah. I would say you.
I do think justice was served for Percy and Wild Bill.
And it's unfortunate because, yeah, I feel like John Coffey made peace with his fate in the end.
He was just in so much pain because of how much empathy he had that he wanted it to stop.
But part of me feels like, yeah, I don't know.
He could have done more good in the world.
But then also he's like in 1935, like racist America.
so I think he still could have done good
but I feel like the hate he would have received
would have not stopped beyond his time within this film
I feel like he would have experienced that for many more years to come
and experience many people in pain
and I feel like he I don't know
yeah I don't think he deserved to die
and it really sucks that he died in front of a room people hating him
and you know he's not the guy
type of guy who would do good for for the sake of being praise he just did good because it was
the right thing to do because it was just his nature yeah he was just a a saint in
that way so yeah he was literally yeah he was in a way like the the the the Jesus figure you know
he died in front of a group he's people hating him even though he did miracles and stuff and yeah there
definitely some parallels there for sure and um yeah any thoughts on that when you fly in emirates business
class and you're picked up by your private luxury chauffeur driven car you'll see that your
vacation isn't really over until your flight is over fly emirates fly better it's that it kept
reminding me of that that f that him that you know whatsoever you do to the least of my people that you
do unto me you know this guy who certainly is on a bottom rung of society who is you know absorbing
these cruelties and you know performing healing in the face of them like you know yeah there is something
very Christly about him um and yeah it again it's that bittersweet thing of like in some ways
justice is served in some ways it's not because obviously his name isn't cleared people don't
know the truth but a couple people do and that's important you know
there were people there to mourn him.
There were people there to love him in his final moments to some extent.
And some people at least learn the truth.
And, you know, in isolation, in the room where it happened, you know, justice is arguably served.
I mean, you know, Wild Bill had to go.
Billy the kid had to go.
Bad, bad, evil guy.
And so, like, you know, that circle of things, him passing this, you know,
this pestilence on to Percy and then you know it's it's it's a fascinating little
moment because yeah it's like you know the guy who John Coffey is here in place of is also
here and and you know the the balance is somewhat adjusted when he is killed and when the
truth is passed along and yeah not everybody's going to see it so there is some level of
injustice to his end but I do appreciate it's weird you know because he accepts death and he
wants the relief and in some ways you know he gets to rest peacefully now and that's a beautiful
reward but at the same time you bargain and you're like man though if he could have gone living with
a clear name somehow but who's to say the trouble wouldn't befall him someplace else down the line
because he is such a gentle giant he is so um childlike in so many ways and uh you
Yeah, it's weird.
There's definitely stuff that obviously you wish it worked out differently,
but there is justice afoot.
It's just not, I guess, you know, the full breadth of it that you would hope for,
you know, for this guy to be vindicated and, you know,
revered in some way for his ability, for his link to, I assume,
some divine higher power.
Yeah, it's a, it's a rich handling of the stuff to make,
you think about it and to you know make you sort of probe it from multiple angles um and i do and i
would venture to imagine that i'm just gonna i'm just gonna hope that mr jingles is still out there
even still i'm hoping mr jingles is out there and i want to make an addendum to my statement
i think that wild bill should have gotten the the dry sponge treatment that i mean yeah dude
he went out too easily yeah and it's weird because it's like you know percy shooting him
in a lot of ways
there's there's there's there's a lot of interesting stuff about having it go down the way it goes down
and for percy it's weird even though he is sort of this vessel of judgment
and from then on is just sort of gone at the same time he's sort of getting a revenge of sorts
you know for a pretty in isolation shitty situation so this is my butthole blah blah blah
yeah exactly uh this is for my dignity and my butt cheeks and uh but uh you know
also yeah frying there is almost no fate too awful for bill some might say that yeah it's fast
he got off easy you know if he had been cooked without the sponge it would be hard to have that
much sympathy because he truly was just awful every ounce of time he was on screen even when
he was being kind of quiet yeah no every awful every second and i wonder if like
because some actors are so good at playing these roles that,
you know,
they get those hate that hate in real life.
I wonder if this period in Sam Raqwell's life,
people were just like,
yo,
fuck you.
Yeah,
and I mean,
too.
I'm happy he's bounce back and played other characters because,
yeah,
this is a real piece of POS character to try to play.
Well,
yeah,
and I mean,
multiple,
you know,
there were racist characters,
but like easily the most overtly racist piece of shit on screen,
too,
like the way he talks to John Coffey constantly.
It's just disgusting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, in a movie full of nuances, like the one character who is just awful.
And I have no sympathy for him.
Whatsoever.
Yeah.
But yeah, you guys.
Well, first off, thank you so much for the questions.
We appreciate you guys so much.
Yeah, this was terrific.
This was really great.
This was a great film.
And I will cherish it forever.
And I'm going to think on it.
I'm going to drive home today.
But, yeah, that'll be it for us today.
We love you guys and stay good out there.
Stay kind and we will see you in the next one.
Deuses.
