Starting point is 00:01:03 Yeah, it's going to be a good time. It's going to be a good old fun time. No tears whatsoever. Damn, that's kind of depressing. What did you think of the movie? I understand it's history, but I kind of wish they didn't do that at the end. Yeah, right? I mean, no, I think that it's important.

Starting point is 00:01:30 to show because we always assume that war movies are going to end with them the right side winning right like um and we know what obviously happens at the end of the war but you lose a lot of battles in order to get there and I thought this was a like it makes me want to you know when you watch a movie and you're like I want to go look into the 54th I want to go see like how many of these characters were based on real people and like and like and you know a movie affects you and you want when you want to go do your own research to know more about it the performances were amazing the music was incredible the cinematography was wonderful uh it's just like having such a harsh ending yeah is is tough and it wasn't like a abrupt i mean sort of but

Starting point is 00:02:22 yeah just that's the feeling that you're left with at the end of this after something that's so triumphant throughout the entire course of the movie because like they had to fight for this respect over the course of these two hours and you know they they ended up getting that respect ultimately in the end but and it seems like because this is the battle that we followed it's like damn like they died for nothing but obviously as I said in the the epilogue there that they were credited they were like an important piece into winning the war I also like I kind of wish at the And it was like Lincoln gave the family members of every person who died the $13 an hour they were owed or something to make me feel like, okay, we like progress was made here.

Starting point is 00:03:12 Because even like we never, I guess it doesn't matter that none of them got paid the 13 instead of 10. But at the same time, like there's just such a feeling of despair at the end. of this and I guess that kind of goes back to Denzel's moment where he's like what's it off what's the point like I don't want to wear I'm not fighting your war there's no winning here and this really that was foreshadowing and we should have known in that moment there's no winning here for these specific people there's no winning now for the future they're helping make other people's lives they're helping for freedom for other people for future for other people but as he said like for him specifically for Denzel's character for all the characters we're seeing here

Starting point is 00:04:01 there even for Matthew Broderick's care there's no winning no yeah there's no winning but I think that it definitely showed Matthew Broger one had had an arc you know he's willing to stand on the front line for his black brothers for his squad so that was very noble, I suppose, even though he had Denzel beat in the earlier part of the movie. Yeah, but I'm kind of wishing that Matthew Broderick didn't volunteer them.

Starting point is 00:04:29 Like at all to fight? No, to go first. Oh, right. He's like, yeah, when they're standing and they're standing on the beach and they're looking at it and the guy's speaking and he's like, whoever goes first is going to have all the casualties.

Starting point is 00:04:42 And Matthew Broderick's like, how about my people? And it's like, and I understand that that was the purpose. That's why everybody, was here they were like we want a fight right listen to us we want to fight we won our shot so i'm not saying you shouldn't have but i wish he didn't like i wish they hadn't been the first in because it's like it i don't know has a bittersweet feeling because like kind of break at all yeah because

Starting point is 00:05:05 they went from like not having them fight at all to them being essentially like the cannon fodder the first line so the so everyone else can get the credit for what they started the the progress for you know and that's I thought it was a great movie you know I was kind of you were saying before like the score was incredible all the performance was really good especially Denzel like

Starting point is 00:05:25 that man's a star for a reason yeah truly for his commitment he must have nominated he had to have it I'm gonna look up some award stuff right now because I'm curious about this yeah please do also who the hell that guy was

Starting point is 00:05:40 instead of IMD yeah who that guy is the one that I kept saying I knew The one that you believe that I know. Oh, what about the one that I knew, I knew? And then it's both of them that I'm curious about, the one that my favorite guy in this, I want to know where I know him from. And then the white dude that I know that you must know. I definitely don't know this guy.

Starting point is 00:05:58 But you said he's a comedian? No, I don't know. I thought I saw him in a comedy recently. I'm not sure. Like, I'm trying to think of what it's from. Okay, so let's see. In terms of awards, actually, let's look at the director, Edward Zwick, because I felt like I remembered his name. Oh, he produced 30-something.

Starting point is 00:06:18 Oh, he produced The Last Samurai, Shakespeare in Love, but what did he direct? Let's see. Let's see. As a director, he did Jack Reacher Never Go Back. He did love and other drugs, which I liked. He did Defiance. He did Blood Diamond. He did The Last Samurai.

Starting point is 00:06:36 Really? He did Courage Under Fire. Samurai's a good movie. So he's a Denzel guy. Yeah, okay. that's a lot of things why don't I even see glory on here so so you guys can't see it but after glory it's prompting us to watch the color purple again I know I saw that which is you know a little cruel you know let's let's just go through another black struggle movie that's what we need

Starting point is 00:07:00 right now compact the sadness baby let me see let me make sure oh no I lied about all of that I didn't mean to lie about all of it but I think he produced all of that I don't know if he directed did any of that. Let's see. Misfilmography director. No, no, he did direct it. It's just weird because it's not showing that he directed Glory, but it's, oh, yeah, there we go. Glory was 1989.

Starting point is 00:07:22 1989? Whoa, even earlier than we thought it was. Yeah, that's why Denzel just looked so young. Let's say 1990. What the hell? I don't know. Maybe based on where it's released. I don't know.

Starting point is 00:07:34 Yeah, it could be. Okay, so then on top of that, let's check out some of this cast. The, yeah, the guy that you. you know, Andre. He died last year. That sucks. Okay, the guy I know is named Bob Gunton that I think you know. Come on.

Starting point is 00:07:56 If my internet was going any slower. Bob Gutten. We would have died in that battle. Let's see, he was in Shawshank Redemption as the Warden. He was in Ghostbusters. He's in Patch Adams. He was in 24 for, oh, yeah, 24. for like four seasons.

Starting point is 00:08:13 Oh, wow. Okay, he's done. He has 138 credits on IMDV. Jesus Christ. So you definitely know him. What does he look like now? It's old man. Come on.

Starting point is 00:08:27 Kind of. Kind of looks familiar. You've seen him. All right, Reject Nation. So today I want to share something with you that has been a wonderful addition to my health and fitness journey that I discovered during the holidays. And that is Liquid IV's hydration multiplier. I'm down to my very.

Starting point is 00:08:42 last packet, and I'm freaking out, but it's okay. I got more in the mail. Now, a lot of you have been so kind to notice how I've been working on my physical health. Thank you for all the compliments. And one thing I learned is that proper hydration is absolutely crucial, especially post-workout and pre-filming after post-workout. And my wife actually introduced me to this product, which is perfect because we not only care about quality, but a good taste and quality product. Whether it's after a sweaty workout or just after, you know, a good night out, you know what I'm saying efficient hydration and replenishing electrolytes is key you just feel better and it tastes fantastic i can't emphasize that enough and another thing that i'm always on the lookout for too is products

Starting point is 00:09:17 that have zero sugar or zero sugar added because that's one of my main dietary restrictions throughout the week and they of course got products that fit that description that also tastes good too so yes thank you so much so liquid ivy's hydration multiplier is in summary is they are a non-gmo electrolyte drink that delivers hydration into your bloodstream faster and more efficient than water alone Sometimes drinking a whole gallon is not always efficient. But in fact, it can provide the same hydration as drinking two to three bottles of water. I'm also big on efficiency. Plus, it's packed with a little of essential vitamins, and even we know vitamins are good for the body.

Starting point is 00:09:46 It's vegan, soy-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free. You can customize their water amount to your taste. Again, perfect for post-night recovery, traveling, or just having a big night out. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:11:48 Join me, V. Greg Albin, the Adventure of Language Mastery at Babel. We shall not just learn no, nay. We shall conquer the world of communication. Or as they say in Spanish, communication. looking a little familiar I didn't watch more war movies. War movies? War movies? This made you feel that way?

Starting point is 00:12:12 Yeah, like, I need some more death and war struggle in my life. No. I don't think any of us need that. Phila alive, you know? I can't find, the cast is kind of listed in kind of a weird way.

Starting point is 00:12:28 Well, it says that one of the soldiers is Mark Margolis in this. Who is that? Um, uh, he is the guy from, um, Better Call Saul, he plays Hector, Salamanca. Oh. Okay. That's just, I don't remember him being in this movie. But he was in this.

Starting point is 00:12:48 Yeah, I guess, this is in 1989. Yeah, so probably it's just, he's a soldier. Just there's so many random people as I'm scrolling through a lot of people on IMDB that it's like, oh, I recognize them. I don't even remember them being in the movie here. It was a ginormous cast. Yeah, I mean, it was huge. It was huge.

Starting point is 00:13:04 I'm curious also the budget of this, but let's look at awards to see what this was actually. So it won three Oscars. Good. Danzel won for it. Of course. You had to. It was so good. That's well deserved.

Starting point is 00:13:16 One for cinematography and sound. So if I was going to pick three things for this to win for, it would be Denzel, cinematography, and sound. So really stoked about that. It was nominated for art direction as well. It was nominated for editing, which all makes perfect sense. yeah no even though wow the fact this is 1989 is even crazier just because the action was so like visceral and very well shot you really felt the struggle of like this uphill battle literally of what they were going through so it's three years after ferris bueller okay okay so then

Starting point is 00:13:53 matthew must have been in his prime that oh yeah that was like his prime broderick yeah that's what they call it where are the ribs where are the ribs need them ASAP that's what I got for you that was good I'm happy I feel educated I feel informed good glad I I didn't educate anybody Google educated both of us wow okay you guys you got educated we got educated what did you guys think of glory did you like it were you sad at the end like us if you weren't Go get therapy.
