Guys, I'm so excited to do today's video because I'm joined today with Jackie. Oh, crap. Bon seigneurre.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Bon seigneuré. Yeah, that was good. Yeah, that was like five times. Trying to tell it. I'm going to nail it. I'm a nail it. I'm a nail it. We met through a mutual friend, Michael Tesler, who you guys might have seen on the channel before. But apparently she's never seen men in black. Never in my life. So much so that I was like, yeah, you're like Bull Smith? And she's like, he's in this? I was like, wow, she really doesn't know men in black. I know nothing about it. No, she knows nothing. She knows nothing. I know that for Halloween, my two friends dressed in black suits and had a little balloon of an alien. And that's my extent of knowledge. Balloon of an alien.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Like a green guy. Oh, like, a generic alien. Yeah, generic. Generic alien. So that's what I expect them to look like. You thought it was a drama? No, I thought it was an action move. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Yeah, kind of. Well, I saw it as a kid many times in the 90s, you know, right around the time you were born. I've been wanting to revisit this. So I got excited at the opportunity that you have never seen it. So my job today is to make sure I don't guess anything. And like, I remember a good amount of it. It's the sequels I don't really remember. What are you looking forward to?
Starting point is 00:02:30 Well, wait. What year did it come out? 97. I avoided any research I was trying to be true to the reject way. So kind. You're so kind. Anyway, guys, follow her on social media. She does a lot of music.
Starting point is 00:02:41 She's a really cool person. Are you excited? Jackie, let's do it. I am excited. Let's go. All right, guys. This is the part we review something. Yes.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Are you excited to review something? So excited. What I have to say is so important. I imagine. Everyone sit down. I'll help you. else. I'll set you up a little bit. I'll ask you questions. Give you some talking points here.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Don't you worry. Guys, we want the full reaction watching along where you sync up with your own copy. Asville for our Royal Rejects. Those are our patrons.

I wonder if people are like, who the hell is Jackie?
Starting point is 00:03:33 I guess no one or read Jack. I'm excited to see. We got some questions. Oh, wow. I'm getting a real great behind the scenes look right now. Yeah, no. And I'm not sharing it with anyone. We put out there men in black, Jackie and Greg, and no one was like, not one person went, who's Jackie?
Starting point is 00:03:50 No, they're accepting me with open arms. I'll just say, yeah, I'm good. I'm good with her. Well, yeah, I haven't seen this movie in like decades at this point. And this was your first time. So what is your first impression of this? I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. What was your initial expectation?
Starting point is 00:04:08 I don't love aliens. I avoid alien movies. I feel like at all cost. I was scared to see the new Ryan Gosling movie because I was... Oh, really? Because I sat down. I had no idea what it was going to be like, and I don't like aliens, but that was great. And yeah, and I also am not a huge fan of action typically.
Starting point is 00:04:31 So I, but I really liked it. It was a beautiful blend of, you know, comedy and the action was really exciting. And just like a little sprinkles of heart. I really like that he got to go back with his wife. I was literally thinking the one of heart right before you actually said that. I like that he, I like the idea that when they retire, they get reunited. What I do wish is, I want to know what happened to the original guy that retired from the first scene of the movie. Wow.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Where did he end up? I'd like to know. I want to book out. Yeah. I mean, it is a bookend. He's the key character art. He changed. He was the one who changed in and became the guy at the beginning of it. It's passed now. The legacy of men in black continues to persist. But Will Smith, you seem like you were really into his performance. I really, really admire his performance. I mean, it was fantastic. How old we think he's in his 20s in this? And it was. How old was Will Smith in men and men. black. 28 years old. Yeah. Okay, great. He had fresh prints.
Starting point is 00:05:38 I think he had Independence Day and Men in Black, or it was Men in Black than Independence Day, one of the two. No, I think he really does, I think a different actor in that specific role may have ruined the movie for me. I think it's his charisma, his comedy, and he just feels so real. I don't know, he's just so fun to watch. He's great. He's the definition of like natural.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Yeah, exactly. Combined with Star, Because I think the audience really does kind of, especially me going into it totally blind, I really did identify with him as a character. And I'm figuring everything out at the same time he is, which is really great. Yeah, that's very true. That's a good point. So overall, it sounds like you actually enjoyed the movie.
Starting point is 00:06:19 I really did like it. That's cool. I'm very upset to hear that the gorgeous, gorgeous girl is not in the sequel, apparently. Yeah, they do that with sequels and movies sometimes, especially with the women. But Will Smith is in it. Will Smith. Yes, clearly. Carrying it on his back.
Starting point is 00:06:34 It becomes like... Star vehicle. He is the... At the beginning, it said Tommy Lee Jones at the top first build. Yeah. He was a more popular actor then as like a leading man.
Starting point is 00:06:45 But I think as we go forward, I imagine Will Smith will be the top. Yeah. Because it's just fucking Will Smith. What did you think about the Edgar performance? It was a great performance. It was just so yucky.
Starting point is 00:07:01 It was a yucky. It was so... But it was fantastic. It was really, I mean, amazing physical acting to watch him kind of. I mean, I made a joke while we were watching it. Like, wouldn't he have learned how to better operate the physical, you know, vessel, I guess that he's using? But no, because the body is literally deteriorating. Yeah. So it makes sense that it actually gets worse and worse and worse. And it's really fascinating to just be clocking that as I watch. Well, I love that the movie has attention to detail like that. I think the thing that this movie thrives on is attention to detail.
Starting point is 00:07:34 They pay attention to like when the traffic would be at this certain time of day. They pay attention to like this character wouldn't run at this moment like Will Smith would run but Tommy Lee Jones would not run at this point. They really under they paid attention to like every little thing. And I feel like there's such a good like whimsy and wonder why this movie has stood the test of time because it is just like it's like a good fibbing movie. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:57 It's just like a good feeling kind of. It's just fun. It's just fun to watch. Are you that familiar? I can't imagine that familiar with Tommy Lee Jones, are you? I don't think so, no. Did you like him in this? I did like him.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Yeah, their chemistry was... He really grew... Because I didn't love him, I think, in the first scene. I didn't immediately, like... You weren't like he's... Yeah, he's it. But I really did grow to like him more over time, and especially just their chemistry together, I think.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Yeah. Yeah. Okay, we got some fun questions here. I love this movie. This movie still holds up to me very, very well. So we're going to ask some questions. What we do is we clap. that way the editors know
Starting point is 00:08:33 because we don't have a click thing so we just clap old school do two claps and then I want you to read the first one all right I just read it shut their name out all right
Starting point is 00:08:44 Janice B asks all these years later the scene where the galaxy is contained in the necklace then used as a marble at the end of the movie really puts into perspective just how tiny we are
Starting point is 00:08:54 in a vast universe if you could get your hands on a neuralizer would you use it on yourself or someone else If at all. I love this question. It was like, oh, are we going to go through like a philosophical question about being so small in this universe?
Starting point is 00:09:13 What would you do in the neuralizer? Makes you think. Would you go blink, blink, bye-bye? Thank you, Janice, for this amazing question. That is a good question. Would you use it on yourself or someone else? That is like the ultimate question this movie poses, right? I want to see some like Gen Z person do a video about why the neuralizer is so mean and harmful in society.
Starting point is 00:09:37 I think we touched on that. There's no consent given to neuralizing in this world. Would you use it on yourself or someone else? Ooh, what would I want to? Well, I think my immediate impulse when I read the question was, oh, if I do something super embarrassing, I could just like forget the last 30 seconds. Like if I fall or something. But then actually, I don't know, because I think all that builds character. So I wouldn't want to use it.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Maybe if there was like some, like instead of doing EMDR, I could just like do the truck. But I don't think it works like that. It's not selective. Yeah, that's true. You know? I imagine if I gave like a bad karaoke performance.
Starting point is 00:10:15 I would want to do the whole bar. Yeah. A whole bar. The whole bar. How would you get their attention? I would do another performance. You'd do another performance. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:24 But I feel like at that point would everyone even be looking or would they be like, oh, this guy. which is most of my karaoke performances. I don't know. You actually make a really good point, though. I wouldn't. I think there was a time in my life where I,
Starting point is 00:10:39 I've had more fantasies about what if I could do that thing? Like, I get trans, unlike me, 35-year-old Greg, and then I get transported back to like 17-year-old Greg. But I still have, like, all the memory. Like, I get a do-over. I want, actually, I also want that. Yeah, that's more appealing to me than, like, this is less appealing.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Yeah, I don't know if I would actually use it on anyone. Well, you could... I don't even really want to do over. Well, this is bad, but you could steal. Stealing's bad, though. Oh, yeah, you could steal. Stealing's bad, but you could steal so well. Or like, oh, wait, if you get, oh my God, if you get pulled over.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Yes, you could be a criminal. I did not think about it in that context. Yes, you could do some horrible. things. Oh yeah. I mean, if you kill someone, they don't have a memory of those scenes. Whoa, we're going to killing someone. Oh, yeah. Why not? I mean, if there's like someone you really don't like. Maybe like, and then a witness. Oh, or like you're at the, you, oh, okay. Okay. You're at a restaurant or a bar.
Starting point is 00:11:43 You get your drink and like you just drink it really fast or you eat your lobster really fast and then you go like, I didn't get my food yet. You want to do like little things. Yes. I do. I'm thinking big picture here. No, I'm thinking retirement. I'm thinking every. I'm Thinking everyday conveniences. That saves money over time. Talk about retirement fund. Okay, that is true. Saving money over time.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Well played, Jackie. The check comes. The check comes. You go, you just comp this meal. What do you mean? Yeah, you just screw over the waiter. That's true. No, I would get the manager.
Starting point is 00:12:14 I don't want to hurt the little guy. You know. How deep of the layers does the neuralizing go? Yeah. Like, if you like, neuralize the waiter. But then the manager's like, what happened to those people? Then it creates a whole effect where the person Like I forgot all about these people.
Starting point is 00:12:28 So you have to like keep neuro. They don't really explain that in the movie. Kind of have to do the chain of. There's a chain of people who will ask questions. Yeah. I would, I would, if I did a men and black movie, I would make it all about the constant stress of having to neuralize. Everyone all the time.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Well, like, what if you should get the wrong setting. Yeah. So you got like to do the dial. I'm already getting anxiety. That's a lot. That's a lot. I would fuck up. I would like, I accidentally look at it.
Starting point is 00:12:54 I did once pepper spray myself in the face. So I feel like. that's adorable is it yeah what we're using never spray for is it well i used to live in new york i used to live in new york i had just gotten it i was testing it out forgot about wind and that was on me that was maybe on me i understand i think i've done that with something that's fair all right yeah few more okay rc flores with which alien in the movie do you
Starting point is 00:13:23 identify most personally i'm frank i'm old and grumpy but also like to gossip. Of course. Which one was Frank? I don't know. I was hoping that you knew. Frank. Frank.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Oh, Frank is the dog. Frank the pug, yes. Frank. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, he's fantastic. Yeah, yeah. Which alien do I identify the most?
Starting point is 00:13:45 Ooh, I identify the most with the one that sadly passed, the owner of the cat, because he was just really excited to meet up with his friend, introduce the cat to his friend, have some parogies, and then things took a tragic turn. Yeah. Just minding my business and then things go wrong. I really understand. That is a fair point. I feel like you and the rejects are the aliens in the coffee.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Yes, in the coffee room. Or the Mexican. You're like, I just assume they're Mexican. Whoa. Cut that out. No. Keep it in and loop it. What are they?
Starting point is 00:14:26 are the bug coffee people creatures aliens I don't think they had a had a race maybe I think they were just alien they were doing Latino voice Nope they're not they're not Latino well okay AI okay Google AI how do you know Interesting to assume
Starting point is 00:14:45 I thought it was Okay so on Reddit though Their accents sound Mexican or at least Latino I'm not alone I'm not alone in thinking it They are seen drinking coffee. So true. Yeah. Latinos love coffee.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Only race that does. No one else. Nobody else. Only Latino. Men and black worm guys not related to Jabba the Hut. No, that's fantastic. While they may not be related, the worms are just as eating. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:13 There's a lot of good thought. I think people out there. Do the next one for us. All right. Do you got to clap? You got to clap. Friends, what is your relationship with eating healthy right now? As many of you know, last year for me, it was all about us
Starting point is 00:15:25 Stratics. Dropped a bunch of weight, got really disciplined, took some photos. But this year, it became about maintenance. Now, it's about performance. I've been running a lot more. I'm training for a Spartan race right now. That's right. Trying to be a man.

Personally, I think it still works for the most part and love it when they go practical. Take it away. I agree with you, Thomas. I I wasn't taken out of it at all.
Starting point is 00:17:26 You know, I thought the effects were amazing and disturbing, many of them. And I really like knowing that they used a lot of puppetry and a lot of practical effects. I feel like I want to go home and now go on a deep dive of BTS footage, hopefully, which exists on the internet. Yeah, it's a good K-pop band. Mm-hmm. What do you think? I think that it looked striking today. and when it was
Starting point is 00:17:53 I kept pointing it out and when it was CGI the actors were so like okay so take the big alien bug creature at the end Yeah it was like a big villain but alien cockroach And it was the part
Starting point is 00:18:07 when Tommy Lee Jones is like insulting me and he's like so committed It's selling it so much He's probably just talking about some tennis ball And back then it was probably even weirder To like do that shit Because it wasn't like as normal as it is now It was common
Starting point is 00:18:21 and that's what sold it. So even like when Will Smith is like hanging on to his tail and me and like jerked around like sure, those digital effects like age? Yeah. But the moment still sells me. Everything around it is real. And I think it's just a testament to both of their acting.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Exactly. In this film. I mean, talk about commitment. Yeah. I thought, I think it looks great. The set designs are cool.
Starting point is 00:18:42 I love like the corporate look of men and black. Yeah. Everything is just black and white or silver for all their items. You know, it was like simple, solid colors and it felt very retro. Yeah. I love the vibe. I think it's part of the look of it is a character of the film.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Also, just the other spaces and how contrasted, like the farm and the Aliens antique store that he owned, everything was so specific and felt so lived in. Yeah. I really loved it. Good points. Good points all around, Jackie. You're doing all right. Hang in there. Not fired yet.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Hang in there. Nikki Sunn Lisa. No, wait. Was that me? Yeah. Let's go. One of my favorite Will Smith movies. I love the story.
Starting point is 00:19:21 the soundtrack is a great question what's your favorite song made for a movie the song men in black became such a 90s cultural phenomenon and still on a regular rotation on my playlist i do love this song this answer is very very easy for me really like in terms of like a song that was like specifically like oh they say the word men in black in the title where it's all about the movie um it's actually will smith one it's wild wow west just think about that on the car right over I haven't. I don't think I've heard of it. The Wild Wild West song?
Starting point is 00:19:55 You haven't heard the Wild West song? Maybe I have. I can't think of it right now. You've been to karaoke. I've been. It's one of the people's, because you're a singer. It's one of the people's go-to karaoke songs. I hear all the time. Yeah, because it's like a fun rap.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Okay, give me a sample. West, Jim West, Desperato, Rough Rider, no, you don't know, Nada. And that's about what I remember. I don't know what he says here. I see her, none of this six gunning this brother running this. That's what I hear. Buffalo Soldier, look it's like I told you.
Starting point is 00:20:23 It's a very classic Will Smith song. Amazing. He does the, woo. Woo. Uh-huh. Aha. Yeah, it's an easy one for me. You don't have one?
Starting point is 00:20:34 What's your favorite song in a movie that was probably for the movie? Let's condense this down. Well, my mind immediately went to, and I can't remember the name of the song. What movie? The movie. Great film. if only I could remember the title of it. What happens in this movie?
Starting point is 00:20:55 Who's in this movie? Lana Del Rey wrote a song for a film about a woman who's an amazing painter and her husband takes the paintings and sells them. Oh, is that the one with Christoph Waltz? Maybe. Is that one with Amy Adams? Probably. I haven't seen this movie, but I think I know what you're talking about. It's a good film.
Starting point is 00:21:16 It's a good week. Yeah, can you? Lana Del Rey. Amy Adams movie. Eyes song. Big Eyes. And it's called Big Eyes. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:26 I haven't seen the... Big Eyes. Big Eyes is absolutely... Yes, about Margaret Kean. Yes. Damn, what a pool. It's a fantastic song, fantastic film. I really, really enjoyed it.
Starting point is 00:21:38 All right. And she wrote... Sorry. God, I'm a fake fan. She wrote two songs for the film soundtrack. Both of them, great. Oh, man, you're good. They're good.
Starting point is 00:21:45 No one ever once has brought up this movie ever in conversation. I forgot it was. directed by Tim Burton. Yeah. Makes sense? We've seen Tim Burton. Huge, huge Tim Burton. Huge, Tim Burton fan.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Huge. Huge. Huge. Huge. Huge. The music in this movie, too, amazing. Danny Elfman, who does all Tim Burton's movies, amazing music in this movie, too.
Starting point is 00:22:08 All right, we got one last one here. Or like two? Oh, my God, there's three. No wait. We don't have time to do all that. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, guys.
Starting point is 00:22:16 I know there's some. This is yours. Jennifer Dixon asks, what do you think? What do you think of the chemistry between Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith? It makes the movie. I don't think you can do this movie without having these two specific actors. I agree. You need the perfect old, grumpy, white guy, and you need Will Smith.
Starting point is 00:22:38 And you need Will Smith. You need these two, like, the way they look, even just like the looks they have. When it's like, this is Agent Black and just like the little look that he gives him. And they're not doing like a punch in for the comedy. Yeah. It's just kept him for the shot and you got to like catch that look. Yeah, the way they riff with each other every part of it. And like Tommy Lee Jones also has to be endeared to him.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Yeah, he does. And he is. So while he like gets like critical and and you know, he talks a little bit like sardonic, he's a bit of a grumpy guy, they have these little moments where you can see Tommy Lee Jones actually really likes him, you know? And I feel like that's a hard nuance to find in dynamics. I feel like they really get along. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:19 now. What do you think? Well, something else that I feel like this question just made me think about is that both Tommy Lee Jones's and Will Smith's characters are kind of both so self-assured. And kind of such assholes. Like, they're so confident and cocky, but in such different ways. And I think that they both maybe relate to the other one more than they realize at first, especially.
