HOLY 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!

Starting point is 00:00:00 all right john you're ready i couldn't be more ready let's get fixed find out what the heck is this is 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
Starting point is 00:00:34 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
Starting point is 00:00:47 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
Starting point is 00:01:04 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
Starting point is 00:01:30 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
Starting point is 00:01:50 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.
Starting point is 00:02:09 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.
Starting point is 00:02:28 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,
Starting point is 00:02:50 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
Starting point is 00:03:03 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
Starting point is 00:03:15 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.
Starting point is 00:03:26 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.
Starting point is 00:03:48 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
Starting point is 00:04:03 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
Starting point is 00:04:19 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,
Starting point is 00:04:26 it took a while before it reached, like, a hilarious moment to me. Yeah. But once, and it wasn't like, okay,
Starting point is 00:04:34 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,
Starting point is 00:04:41 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.
Starting point is 00:04:48 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.
Starting point is 00:05:01 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
Starting point is 00:05:16 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.
Starting point is 00:05:52 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.
Starting point is 00:06:04 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
Starting point is 00:06:15 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
Starting point is 00:06:55 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.
Starting point is 00:07:32 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
Starting point is 00:08:14 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
Starting point is 00:08:32 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
Starting point is 00:08:53 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
Starting point is 00:09:25 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
Starting point is 00:09:37 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
Starting point is 00:09:53 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.
Starting point is 00:10:28 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.
Starting point is 00:10:53 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.
Starting point is 00:11:16 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.
Starting point is 00:11:38 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.
Starting point is 00:12:05 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.
