This video is brought to by Mando. Their products are revolutionary and personal care offering up to 72 hours of odor control. Seriously, I love them. More on them after the reaction. Gee, are you ready for another night at the museum? Yeah, yeah, I'm right. I'm hilarious. Let's do it. Let's go. what did you think of this one aside from the fact that the rules while clearer this time they opened a whole rift to what appeared to be a supernatural realm that i feel like should broadly shatter the precedent established here to unto this point but uh other than that what did you think i like it way more than the first one agree yeah i like this way more i like the first one but this one i'm like oh this one felt like an actual adventure shouts out to eric hernandez for for saying this just yesterday
Starting point is 00:02:02 when I saw him he was like you guys are gonna watch the second one that's even better okay really yeah I really like I really like this one a lot I agree
Starting point is 00:02:09 but I want to get some questions out of the way let's go what are the rules what are the rules I thought that as long like if he drowned Owen Wilson in the sand
Starting point is 00:02:21 he wouldn't just come back to life the next like Teddy got sliced in half in the last movie yeah what's and they just waxed him back together Yeah. Would he actually drown in the sand?
Starting point is 00:02:34 Barring? Does he depend on oxygen to survive? Barring, complete bodily decimation. Like if they, I guess if they melt him down or like crush him. But even Octavius takes a fair beating from the squirrel and is mostly unharmed, unaltered by that experience. When we go to the first night at the museum, when he's fighting, when they go to the first night at museum, they're mainly just fighting with each other the whole time. So these guys must have, like, had death blows to each other countless times over the many years they've been at the museum. Agree, agree.
Starting point is 00:03:07 And, I mean, it's just a nitpick, but I feel like he could have done a better job of not letting himself get buried. Because you're just on an increasing pile. You could just kind of situate yourself on top of the pile. After a while, it does get hard. Yeah. Rules that death. So it feels too bad. How does he get away with everything, Larry?
Starting point is 00:03:26 How does Larry get on? Like, they. What happens? destroyed into property damage. When they destroy the literal walls of the museum building, what happens to that stuff? How did you get away with that? There's so much damage that happened at this casino. Like, is the tablet such that it erases any and all, like, remnants of their presence and actions there?
Starting point is 00:03:50 Or does Larry have to, in an hour, like, rebuild wings of the museum? Yeah, I mean, he just went home. He did. the flight. He pieced out. Why did they let him stay? Oh, it's the Jonas Brothers for them. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:04:06 That makes more sense. Yeah, I was like, who's a trio, 98 degree? Yeah, oh, yeah. At the time period, too. They were creepy. Okay. Anyway, they were creepy. They were creepy.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Yeah, there's a lot of things that I don't feel like they thought about. I thought they thought about this one more than the last one. But they did more damage to raise more. They raise new questions in light of that. Agree. Yes. They didn't completely, like, they didn't completely, like, demolish a section. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Of the museum. They completely destroyed a section of this missile. They crashed through the giant wall and destroyed a plane. Yes. Yes. They did, like, much damage and also took many artifacts, just inanimate artifacts, into different rooms and stuff like that. I, I, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Have questions. That's part of the fun of the movie. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't make me dislike the movie at all. I'm like, it's part of the part of watching that at the museum films. It's the amount of questions.
Starting point is 00:05:11 What the hell are the rules? Like, wait a minute. I have so many questions now. Yes, absolutely. It was very joyous in its nonsensical nature. Yeah, I thought this one's variety. I think they, it felt, like they like went to the smithsonian and i thought like what can we play with here and like what
Starting point is 00:05:32 other sections i like i liked how much bigger it felt but it didn't get carried away and how big it can get in fact the more and embraced it the more fun it was and i thought uh the i thought there are actual stakes here because in the first one i was like exactly is like the threat here he's just got it's got to keep this shit in order it's like it's like a five nights of freddie situation without the horror yeah you're just got to keep these three dudes from stealing the tablet, I guess. But that was a commensile way later to the film. It's mostly just keep this place from being destroyed.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Yeah, it was more, it was structured better, I thought. And I actually felt the heart and wonder more here. I mean, I think the first one goes from more heart and wonder, but I felt it more here because of just the way it's shot. And with Amy Adams, especially, like, she was great. And the set pieces were awesome. Like, when they go to, like, the rocket stuff, I love how, like, crazy and wild that got.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I thought they embraced a lot more of, like, the cool, like, what weirder things can we do and how much more appealing can we make this look? And, like, the overall look felt sharper. And I think it allowed itself to just sort of be what it really is instead of trying to be something else. Yeah. Yeah, this felt like it more assured in the way it was done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:57 And it increased for me that sort of Bill and Teddishness. I think you pointed out earlier on where you feel like you really are catapulting to like a whole bunch of different places and times and aesthetics of history. And yeah, having so many colliding, you know, art styles and forms and figures. Like I love that they brought in the paintings. I love that they brought in the sculptures. The whole thing with the Teddy Roosevelt bust was great. What makes me another rules thing?
Starting point is 00:07:24 I'm like, so what happens to like when they dump all the water? out of the painting. Does the painting reset? Is there a bunch of water on the floor now? But yeah, having all those elements come together. Why did only the water come out? Why not the people on the water? Why not stuff the squid into or the octopus into the painting? To attack the people in the water? Well, maybe it just wants to chill in the ocean and then it'll just pop out a tentacle during the daytime. But would it stay? Who knows? but yeah I thought this one increased the fun
Starting point is 00:07:54 and increased the just the like Sean Levy and hearing people talk about Deadpool and Wolverine you know one of the complaints I've heard
Starting point is 00:08:01 is that like his directorial style doesn't have like the most distinct quote voice but which I can kind of see but from the previous movie to this one
Starting point is 00:08:11 it looked like he really got a lot more confidence and assurity in just how to pace and rhythm things out and how to accentuate certain angles
Starting point is 00:08:21 and do the scope better. And I know there are lots of people involved with that, the cinematographers and the effects teams and all that stuff. But it felt well, better unified across the shifting, you know, dimensions and aesthetics that we kept catapulting through. I think Sean Levy's look is not defined. Like you can look at a Fincher film and you could see what a Fincher movie looks like. You could look at a Spilberg movie.
Starting point is 00:08:46 You can see what a Spilberg is, Scorsese, definitely. I don't think he has a defined film. look, I think there is a voice in the tone that is very much Sean Levy. That carries through a lot of his films. Agree. Maybe
Starting point is 00:09:03 not so much Deadpool Wolverine because it's like an R-rated movie and there's a lot of voices in the mix on that one. But I thought he did a pretty good job with that. But this one is like, oh, this one actually felt more like a Sean Levy movie to me than the last one. Yeah. The last one felt like anyone could have directed that really.
Starting point is 00:09:20 this one felt like a Sean Levy film yeah I would agree with that certainly just of how like wild and it doesn't it doesn't have like the father-son element that he loves to throw into his movies surprised how little when they cut back to the kid
Starting point is 00:09:36 at some point later on in the movie I was like oh yeah he's still at the computer I guess he's just helping out a guy in the chair the perfunctory character arc for Larry I don't understand Ben Stiller in these movies I don't either I thought It kind of bothered me in the last one, and now it's just funny to me.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Yes, I agree. Because he's so non-reactive a lot of the time, or he's just annoyed. He's unaffected, and he's just a little annoyed. Yeah, he's just, like, trying to get some stuff done, and, like, these hijinks keep getting in the way. I'm like, I don't think Ben Stiller likes making these movies. I can't tell, because I've seen him. It doesn't seem like he's having any fun when he's making these movies. Yeah, and Ben Stiller, well, it's interesting to me, because sometimes he'll,
Starting point is 00:10:19 he'll play a character full on and like commit to mannerisms like a dodgeball or like a zoo lander and then sometimes you have things that are a bit more like straight man bend still or like a meet the parents or whatever uh and this feels like a straight man ben stiller but but yeah i can't tell what the character's supposed to to be and i love that you have in the first movie this half-baked element of like what are you falling back on or what are you what are you giving up exactly you're an inventor i guess but we only really really talked about that once and then the rest of the movie gives way to him, you know, falling in love with the museum. And then this movie, they start again and they're like, oh, now you've gone back to your true passion of inventing. And then pretty much after that whole prologue is done, we forget
Starting point is 00:11:03 all about that. Like, even when he's having the thing with Jonah Hill, I thought he was going to name his glowing flashlight, but he just named a different flashlight like you would use at the museum. And like, it doesn't seem like that really they talk about it here and there again once in a while about like, oh,
Starting point is 00:11:19 you know, Titan of Industry, but it's, it's like anything that makes him like a human character feel so detached from the entire story. And so he does just feel like this weird cipher of a character who's just here. And it's like, I like Ben Stiller enough that like I'm fine to watch, you know, without everything else, this wouldn't be any fun. But like, it's fine. I'm happy to watch him. It's similar to your response to this movie amusing. But it is a little perplexing. And it makes me fascinated how and why this happened the way it did with his performances.
Starting point is 00:11:54 It's a choice that he made. I guess. He can go big. It's just he's so. He's so collected in moments where like, why would this guy be this collected and why is he just annoyed here? When he has to fly the plane? He's never like, and he's, oh, he has to fly the plane. He's like not reacting at all.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Like, he's not even trying to sell this right now. No. He's cooler than Indiana Jones in a situation. James Freaks out more than this guy. It's in his contract. He can't be shown to be weak or out of his element at any point in time. Ben Stiller can't go big. I've seen him go big.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Yeah. And I've seen him be at least like earnest or sympathetic more so than he is here. Not that he's like non-sympathetic, but he's kind of sympathy neutral in these movies. It's like as a character, the flavor of this guy's is pretty neutral. and I find that interesting because like a part of me gets that you kind of need someone who's willing to be the straight man to all of the, you know, over the top personalities he's going to run into. But I feel like he should have some kind of like thing that would endear us to him. Yeah. You know, but the ensemble across this was really fun.
Starting point is 00:13:03 I don't get the sense he likes doing it. I don't. Like the night, it's like, you're the night security guard and you love us and we love you. I'm like, I don't really get that sense you do, man. Yeah. well that's the thing is it seems like he's just fine having left and then he's just realizing over the movie like oh i guess i have become detached from this haven't i yeah and uh it's it's odd but he's famous he's famous i mean you know i can't makes me wonder what a night watch bid would make it a natural history museum like that because like you can't be the bottom barrel of you know wages because you're guarding you need incentive to guard like very valuable stuff even though they were about to get rid of it and replaced it all with holograms at the beginning.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how and why these movies work. But yeah, this one definitely had like a... I just think it would be more fun if Larry was like both, like terrified, freaked out, annoyed, but also like, wow. That's Al Capone. Or that's Abraham Lincoln.
Starting point is 00:14:07 They have like the variety. But he has none of that. You want to feel an investment. You want to feel like him invest. nested in the situation somehow. So it actually kind of diminishes the believability of what he's doing. Yeah, it makes it completely cartoon, and then it relies on the strength of the, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:25 the bits and the performances. And certainly I think there are a lot of funny bits. There were certainly a few bits during this movie where I was like, okay, seems like someone really took a, really shifted into third gear on the editing here and was just like, we're going to let this one play for a few minutes. And luckily a couple of those did.
Starting point is 00:14:44 come around into punchlines I thought were really funny but there were a couple of times where I was like man you're really letting these guys riff the first time Common Rock gets the three heads together Christopher Gaston
Starting point is 00:14:55 Napoleon and the other guy you know that's a joke about the dress yeah that whole thing went on and I was like oh that's a cliche joke all right cool I got it we're fine we can move on from this
Starting point is 00:15:06 Reject Nation some of you guys have been so kind to point out Greg you look like you've been getting in better shape lately and Greg you look like you've been pointing that out a lot more than we've been pointing that out lately. That's because I've been getting products that have allowed me to casually mention that. But with all that exercise comes a lot of sweat, and let's be honest.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Nobody wants to smell bad, especially when we're in close quarters filming proximity to one another. That's why I've been using the Mando products. Heard a lot about them and I was like, please send them my way. And as a vegetarian, it makes me so happy that they are all natural. They're high quality. And man, do they get the job done? First up, the Mando Holdbide. There's a little hair here.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Ew, that's gross. The Mando Whole Body Deodorant. It's safe to use anywhere. Why wouldn't it be its deodorant? It controls odor for up to 72 hours. Keeps me fresh and feeling confident. Now my wife finally cuddles with me. This next one I really like.
Starting point is 00:15:53 The Mando Invisible Cream Deodent Pro Sport. The cream is perfect for intense workouts. It keeps it dry, smelling great, without residue. My wife finally holds hands with me in public. This one straight at the shower. The Mando Acidified Cleansing Bar. It's fantastic. 4-1 powerhouse for shampoo, face wash, body wash, and deodorant.
Starting point is 00:16:11 It leaves my skin fresh and clean. wife finally lets me shower in the same shower she uses. I don't have to go to the hotel anymore. For quick refreshes, the Mando deodorant wipes. Perfect for on the go, gentle on the skin. And my wife finally let me meet the in-laws after using them. And lastly, the Mando body wash. Provides a rich lather and 24-hour odor control. The scent is incredible and leaves my skin smooth. My wife actually calls me by my name in the bedroom now.

Or did she call me Stephen? That was gross. That was my father's name. And I think you pointed out something that is a very good observation, which is I think I do enjoy the characters most who are always in character versus the ones who... In character where their dialogue sounds more from the time period.
Starting point is 00:17:14 they're from or when they're interacting with with current day colloquialisms in a way that doesn't suggest that they just use them now yeah you know if like they come across a phrase like Einstein saying like this is how we do it or something yeah yeah yeah so does that's feel like dream works animation jokes for kids or something yeah exactly or we don't need the cherubs to rap you know like of course they're going to rap I weirdly enjoyed that you know hey it's a every now And then I go, hey, that's funny. Yeah, sure, no, no, no. But even like Hank Azarias grew on me.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Because there's something of, he was so not from that time period, but that choice seemed to work, especially in the banter bit with not touching the dial and playing out the insecurity that this guy actually does have internally underneath the anger. Yeah. I thought, like, whenever he gets angry, it was really funny. Yeah, no, I thought, like, yeah, he was certainly cartoony as a character, but his commitment and his ability to sell the choices he was making. Oh, you made him so much fun to watch.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But at times it does feel like an S&L sketch. Totally. And I liked it more when it felt like characters. Yeah, 100%. Like Bill Hader, I really feels like... Bill Hader, I thought, had that right line of feeling like...
Starting point is 00:18:32 Like, it doesn't sound like he's exactly from that time period other than, like, voice and mannerism and look. But, like, the dialogue he's given. It's a... Like, he's got a... right middle ground for me yeah he's got the right blend of like the dialogue is it seems custery enough and his delivery it's like he'll have like emotional mannerisms that feel a little bit subversive of what you'd expect or a little bit more modern yeah but they're flavored in
Starting point is 00:19:00 like when he has that that bit where they're like by yelling attack aren't you just like announcing the plan and the way he kind of recoils and he's like oh yeah he really takes it in you Which is like a kind of a modern flourish, but it's also like it's so in character and it's of the performance. Like everything that Hank Azari is doing is common raw is like way over the top. And he's always selling something that's over the top. Whereas like the custer, he would like get subtle in ways that were like a bit absurd to the history of the character. But funny because of the commitment to the performance of that. I thought this one was a lot more fun overall.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Yeah. And the fun stuff is like not. something to really deep time it's it's really creative and i think the hijinks and the action too that's where a big part i felt more of the sean levy voice shining through like there's a lot more composition to the way the the actual action scenes are constructed right down to custer's first scene when when he's on the bike yeah through like that's great looking a lot more flow to the events too and i think um i think amy adams's performance really brought so much to this
Starting point is 00:20:10 movie, like a much needed presence for someone like Larry to bounce off of. And I think part of the point they were trying to make is like her helping to bring that out of him. But I'm like, well, he's kind of like the same guy for the first movie. He's still just with money now. I would have made that more
Starting point is 00:20:26 of a point of his character then is like you need to loosen up or have more imagination or some odd thing. Because in the first movie, again, it was just sort of like, hey, you used to be an inventor and you don't really do that anymore and you could get a job anytime and you don't I guess and then in this one it's like hey you're an inventor and you're just kind of the same
Starting point is 00:20:45 drab guy yeah but but maybe adventure yeah or like have some type of drama of him with the people at the museum the the historical figures of I can't just be with you guys all the time I have responsibilities I got to do this like really drive that home yeah of of I need to sleep yeah I need to go to bed I got like I have a world outside of here guys yeah i can't just only live here you guys have a different life then they'd be like fine larry go no i didn't mean that i'm sorry no it's a fly larry and then bam they go get kidnapped and he's like i gotta go save them boom got a good emotional thrott there's art heist that ben stiller isn't want to bring you i feel like he made a trade off between committing to the stunts this seems like
Starting point is 00:21:34 a movie he said uh i guess my kids will watch this so i'll do it yeah it felt like it's so weird Because both these movies, it seems like, he put his vigor into the stunts. And, you know, like, when he's having that flashlight sword fight, I was like, I'm sure there's stunt doubling in here. But it seems like there are enough shots of, like, it's clearly facing him. Yeah. Where I'm like, he probably had to learn some choreo and get in stretch at least. And, like, those things, I'm like, man, he seems committed to selling these. What did you just decide only physical or only emotional?
Starting point is 00:22:05 And I'm not going to sell both. It's just strange. But then again, part of me wonders if he did have, like, a way more appealing personality if the movie would work as well. Maybe it wouldn't. Yeah, this felt like actually stepping into history where the other one just felt like museum pieces. Yeah, and then you get the end part, which reminded me of the column one. It just felt like museum pieces. The ending's so weird on this.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Ricketts' characters is so, like, naive. Yeah, and, you know, people are impressed and or unimpressed with the moving, living. animatronic history i like like that reminded me of the bill and ted uh excellent adventure like school presentation but it on a broader scale which i thought was like neat uh i might have written that kota a little slightly but differently but i i did like the idea i thought it was charming still i feel like you just got to let the world know but now this one was really fun all like everything everything we're saying really just does not actually um like it should would make the movie better, sure, but it doesn't
Starting point is 00:23:10 actually make it like a negative experience for me. I still had a lot of fun. It becomes something to just laugh at. Yeah, yeah. Any, any gripes or anything about the rules is all nothing actually detracted from the enjoyability of the adventure and the appealing nature of the ensemble.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Maybe there's an answer for why Ben Stiller does. I'm like, there's something up with your performance in this. I generally love Ben Stiller. I generally love it. I'm like, and you're one franchise outside i meet the parents yeah well i mean while you look that up i also i really liked what the smithsonian offered the story because too you get you know like it makes sense as a
Starting point is 00:23:51 sequel you start in a museum that's mostly contained to one place and then you go to a museum that has like a whole bunch of different buildings and and wings and types of art or history you might be exposed to that that was a solid choice on their part yeah you get a lot of art jokes for the art nerds like me or people who know more about art than me which is a lot of people there's no there's no tell all interview
Starting point is 00:24:17 apparently he was really involved in this he sat in on most of the audition process for every character maybe he was just so busy working on other aspects maybe he just took this so serious that we're totally misinterpreting it I don't yeah I don't know it's so strange
Starting point is 00:24:34 I like I don't know yeah he's he's not he's a very middle range character in terms of like sympathy and just like generally appealing qualities there's a whole reddit thread about him so like i like ben we talk how much of a freaking badass ben stiller is the night at the museum i mean maybe that's the key is he is such a badass he's never phased by any of these extraordinary events i don't know it's fascinating people who will be the only ones who feel this way i don't know i'm bothered by it everyone's like
Starting point is 00:25:14 no jesus is so badass by the point he gets to the second movie he's not affected him like john mclean would be affected i guess that's what makes him badass is that he's always cool in every situation and his pulse never gets too high he's never too chill he's right in the middle at at a casual level of frustration this is just an in Inconvenience to my goals, but I can handle anything it throws my way. Our goddamn nightcard right there. Well, you got to get out of her, John. I do, I do.
Starting point is 00:25:46 I got to get that tablet and run off, you know, before I get dusted. You're having a real need to leave. What did you guys think of a night at the museum, of night at the museum battle of the Smithsonian? Do you agree or do you think that Ben Stiller is the most engaging, badass character of his entire filmography traversing all of history without a single beat of sweat
