Episode Date: August 16, 2025HOLY MOLY!! Fixed Full Movie Reaction Watch Along / thereelrejects Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Aparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ Animation Legend Genndy... Tartakovsky RETURNS with a Netflix Original feat of Hand-Drawn Adult Animation - Greg & John Give their FIXED Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Breakdown, & Full Movie Spoiler Review!! Get ready for a raunchy, animated romp as Fixed unleashes a surreal night in the life of Bull—a lovable staffordshire bull terrier who discovers he's scheduled to be neutered the next morning. Directed and co-written by Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Dexter’s Laboratory, Primal) with acclaim for its bold, hand‑drawn 2D visuals, Fixed marks Sony Pictures Animation’s first R‑rated animated feature. Voicing Bull is Adam DeVine (Workaholics, Pitch Perfect), joined by a standout voice cast including Idris Elba (Luther, Pacific Rim) as Rocco, Kathryn Hahn (Agatha All Along, Bad Moms) as Honey, Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live, Portlandia) as Fetch, Beck Bennett (SNL, The Mitchells vs. the Machines) as Sterling, Bobby Moynihan (SNL, Spider-Verse) as Lucky, plus River Gallo, Michelle Buteau, and more! The plot zooms through Bull’s desperate, gonad-obsessed escapades—storming dog clubs, chasing love, causing chaos in “Hump City,” and facing his deepest fears. Scenes like the dog's strip club, Kool-Aid toilet debacle, ball-themed existential chaos, and Bull’s heartfelt confession to Honey are as hysterical as they are disturbing. Tartakovsky’s signature visual style shines—even if the humor may wear thin quickly. Critics are divided: some praise the stunning hand-drawn animation and bold character design, while others chide the relentless crude punchlines!

it bad boy that was um all right well we just watch six good luck prepper yeah good luck
make sure this shit is monetized no matter what what if there's a post credit scene
Netflix told us to move on
That's fair
That's fair
I'm going to assume
There's not when Netflix tells you to move on
Yeah
Um
Okay
Wow
We only got a few minutes here right now
I got a tickets to something
That I must attend
John you can go first
Thanks
Thanks man
I have no idea what to say
This was wild
I love
that a 2D, what appears to be
an authentically, you know, hand-animated
drawn movie exists in the Year of Our Lord
2025. This was not what I would have expected it
to be about, but I'll be
damned if I didn't have some kind of fun watching this.
I've never had a movie experience quite like this, I don't think.
I don't know if this is my favorite of Gendi Tartakovsky's
various works but
I was definitely
taken for a ride
and I certainly won't forget this
experience that we've shared together
it's borderline disturbing it is a little disturbing
yeah especially when you get to the final moment
he's confessing and
douchebag dog is that doing him from behind
I was like this is like really funny
but kind of contextually
disturbing just like Ren and Stimpy
You bet that's what I was thinking, yeah, yeah.
Wow, yeah.
Okay, it's like the first 20-ish minute.
I wasn't until he got to like the city.
Yeah.
Because a bowl, I just don't, I thought he was like kind of,
I thought it was actually annoying.
I wasn't finding him particularly funny.
Like the opening scene with the humping was pretty funny.
It started off like so extreme in that moment.
And, you know, like,
but when it was going, I was like, okay,
this actually, I feel like I'm going to get a headache.
I feel it's kind of annoying.
This is it's going to be like, okay, I get it.
It's a raunch.
It's a dog.
It's supposed to be like, yeah, animated dog movie.
And it's supposed to have the presentation with vibes of older animated movies,
but we're raunchy.
And will this get like predictably raunchy,
um, repetitively, too.
And when I thought when they went to the city, though,
that's when we started getting
like creativity
like real creativity
not just like raunchy obvious jokes
about dogs
I thought the create
I mean some people probably
were hooked in right away
not me personally
it was like taking me a long time
and then when we got to the city
started getting like creative bits
like I loved every time
they were cutting away to them
just running and then there was like a new adventure
happening for every run
and picking up a new dog
the skunk
every one of those bits
was really fun
And then I started to get a little bit more endeared to,
I was getting more in dear to the other characters.
What's the dog who I was obsessed with?
Lucky.
Lucky was my favorite, undoubtedly.
There's like, out of all the dogs, easily my favorite.
Normally a character like that, I would find him like repulsive.
But he charmed the hell out of me.
He was just so fucking funny.
Yeah.
No matter what situation he was thrown into,
bold still remain my least favorite character by the end.
I just, I thought he was like,
a bit frustrating
of a personality
I never fully warmed up to
even though he went from
like really annoying
to
tolerable
you know
where I wasn't like annoyed by him
anymore but I was like
okay I'm able to at least watch this
and get that it's his journey and stuff
and yeah I never
particularly like fell in love with the character
but he still had like
some truly funny scenes.
At the day of the day,
like,
there's a few sequences here
that are just flat out
freaking hysterical.
Like,
like,
it took a while
before it reached,
like,
a hilarious moment to me.
Yeah.
But once,
and it wasn't like,
okay,
that was just it in the city,
like,
things would just happen.
I love when you show up
and you clearly got,
like,
the joke of,
like,
a trans dog.
I don't know,
it was just like so fucking funny.
Yeah,
yeah,
not trans.
What would you call that?
It would be trans.
I don't know,
I don't know,
know the acceptable word is
for this moment in time for when you're born with
both, but I don't know what that is.
Yeah, it's not trans. Sorry.
Some sort of gender non-conforming
scenario. Yes.
Biologically speaking. But to get that
with the dog bit
and it's just like a common
it's like a common type
of joke, but it was so
obvious that Lucky was going to be so down
for it. And that's why I thought it was
so like fucking funny. Because it wasn't going to
be like, ooh, what are you? You know?
yeah it was it gonna be like my life yeah it wasn't gonna be like the hangover joke of like what have
put my penis in you know something like that that's why i thought it was funny and there i bought
their romance more than i did um honey and lucky yeah like i really bought it to that yeah they were
my favorite part of the movie man they were so funny and i was and i was endeared to them uh yeah
so it's like it's not quite like the soaring comedy adventure that i was hoping it would be is
especially by everyone was like,
this movie is hilarious.
I don't even say the movie
from beginning to end is hilarious,
but man,
there are like so many scenes.
There are a good amount of scenes.
I'm like,
that shit at me fucking cracking up.
Yeah.
I think it's that the nature
of the existence of the movie
is outlandish and like funny anyway.
And then,
you know,
the movie itself,
yeah,
I certainly was laughing
either intentionally
or just for the sheer
ridiculousness of it. Yeah, it wasn't always like inspired comedy. No, no. The way I have seen
some of Gendi Tartikovsky's, you know, things, you know, the heights of which some of his other
stuff has risen to. But yeah, like this never lost me completely or, you know, fully, you know,
repulsed me despite how, you know, much it's aiming to straddle and, you know, mess with that line
for you. Intersex. Intersex is the whole. You know, you know, intersects. Intersex is the
word it intersects dog like i corrected myself there we go we did some education for ourselves there you go
you watch me inters out a word and then i went wait let me educate myself i grew yeah it had it had some
moments of of inspiration here and there um and yeah like it's a it's a type of story it's like a hangover
type of story or something like that where yeah we're going to go on one night of a madcap adventure
and yeah like by the end i was endeared again it's not my favorite of his things but
But I certainly, like, had a vivid experience the entire time.
And I, you know, I was happy with the way things wound up by the end.
Yeah.
And, yeah, I mean, you know, as a, we all know dogs and cats and stuff like that.
So there's a lot of fun observation there.
And they certainly don't shy away from the, you know, more gross by human standards,
just aspects of instinctual pet life.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, a lot of times when people talk about certain.
sexual tendencies of people we compare it to like animalistic tendencies and now you're watching
animals with human personalities fulfill these quote unquote animalistic tendencies sexual wise right down
to like their secret place of you know oh god which was wild i mean that sounds so funny though
that was one of my i think yeah the like getting out into the city
the dog show was fun the brothel
was I think the pinnacle
of yeah like the comedic
crescendo and yeah I mean I feel
like you know I felt similarly
about Bull I felt like this
really helped
the supporting cast really helped here
like Edress Elba was a lot of fun
yeah the dog that Fred Armisen plays
I thought was a lot of fun like the trio
around Bull helped the ensemble
story a lot
and you know
then bull is free to kind of yeah just guide the story along yeah uh didn't dislike i wasn't like
completely off put but yeah it's like the least appealing personality of all three um and then you know
honey obviously lovely yeah she was really enjoyable yeah yeah uh yeah there it was uh you know
there's i appreciate the animation i appreciate that they had they had they made a whole
plot about like it's like a graduation story you know yeah we got it's a bucket list story you
You got to get one last good time
before the summer ends
We all part ways
And I do find a charming sense
When it does feel like
You can feel people
When they were working on this
Just laughing
They probably thought this was
Like people are really responding
To this movie
Critics, I'm surprised
Are responding to this movie
Really well too surprised
Yeah
But I'm like
I bet they
When they were making this
They thought it was
funnier than when anyone else who watches this thing you get that vibe yeah the entire time just
been giggling behind whatever desk going i can't believe they're letting us do this yeah i can't
believe someone bankrolled this finally after so many years have you seen sausage party oh god a million
moons ago okay so i mean yeah they have that one scene in sausage party that was like the talk
of the town of like oh wow they went there but this is like that movie but non-stop i think like the
whole you know testicle gag thing was
I think the whole, you know, like the visual gag of it.
And the buttholes, yeah.
I think that wore thin pretty early on.
They kept doing it.
But I don't know.
I think it's literally just for the gag of like someone spent time to it,
especially in a world where there's like there's a cut of cats where they had to remove all the butts.
Yeah.
You know, it's, yeah, it's just like, we're making sure that there's always the anatomy is always being reminded to you.
I mean, but hey, what they delivered on the promise of the premise.
It does what it says in the tin.
It does exactly what they said they wanted to do.
And it surprisingly had some heart to it.
It did.
And on top of that, too, you want moments that are actually really funny.
And like I said, there are scenes that I wouldn't call just funny.
I call them, there are scenes that I thought were fucking hysterical.
And lovely animation.
And surprisingly lovely animation.
I love watching this.
I loved the visual language of this.
Yeah, even the way like the cities and the streets are drawn,
there's like a retroness to it, you know?
Yeah, there's a retro quality.
There's like this really thick pencily line work,
and I don't know how much computer assistance was there,
but this felt very much like a piece of art to some degree.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
What would you guys think of fixed?
Leave your thoughts down below.
We'll see you guys soon, Rejectation.
You've seen the movie Wardogs, two guys, one laptop, and a $300 million arms deal,
but Hollywood only told half the story.
David Packowls got played by his own best friend, but here's what the movie never showed you.
I did time with Ephraim Devoroli, the guy who screwed over Packhouse.
And what he told me, David Packowls had no idea until he came on the podcast.
