Starting point is 00:03:47 Meow, meow, meo, meow, meo, meow. She kept censoring. Liberals. Yeah. Liberals, you're silencing. Hey, guys, we just watched Puss and Boots. It's, oh, no. No, no. We have never seen the trailer for the last wish. I have no idea what that even looks like.

Starting point is 00:04:09 People said it was amazing. Anyway, yeah, I didn't remember really anything about this, but this is Olivia's first time watching. It's my first time re-watching, but it felt like a first time watching in so many ways. Olive Branch, sorry, sorry, Greg's wife. What did you?

Starting point is 00:04:30 you think? I thought it was super cute. What would you rate out of 10? 10? I would rate it an 8.5. Ooh. What is the negative? Let's start with the negatives because that is how you went over audience. You told me not to start with a negative. You do the rules. You do three positives and one negative. That's the rules of every great movie critic out there. We're going to go reverse because now that we have pulled the veil. So I can only do one negative? I mean, No, you can, let's just leave with them. Generally, you do three positives, and then you go into a negative, and then you follow it up with here, Tara. This is what you're actually doing wrong.

Starting point is 00:05:13 Ring the bell! Anyway, I love terror. I love terror. Okay, anyway, so you want a negative, all right? what's the 1.5 what is what is what is hindering you from getting to a 10 uh i don't i'm not invested in the relationship between humphdine and uh plus are you supposed to be what do you mean well yeah because it's the overall arching theme of this this brotherhood theme of the movie is them coming together in the end i really don't

Starting point is 00:05:51 care that he died it makes me actually i'm thrilled about it you didn't find that scene touch Absolutely not at all. Really? I heard you're doing a little bit of awes when he was like hanging and he's like, I'll let go. It's because of the little baby duck. Goose? Geese? Little baby goose.

Starting point is 00:06:11 Little baby goose. I was concerned about the mama. You didn't even hear me saying? You don't listen to me. It's because you're too busy trying to think about what you're going to say that you're not paying attention to what your co-host is actually talking about. But I clearly said the poor mama goose. I said the poor mama I was worried about her

Starting point is 00:06:29 She had the whole building crashed on her Yeah but she'd be fine She's a kaiju She's a kaiju goose A little kaiju goose Would stand anything Listen I want more baby plus and boos

Starting point is 00:06:41 I'm sure that exists On this peacock platform Oh my gosh She's so cute Very cute I mean okay so that was the one I guess I can see What you're coming from there

Starting point is 00:06:52 Well I've never really rooted for Humpty Dumpty to be an all right guy because he was always kind of creepy He's very off-putting the guy His character design is off-putting And I never trust I thought he was like perfect as a villain

Starting point is 00:07:07 Yeah Like on the villain part he's perfect And I think Zach Alfenoccus's voice work on him is excellent But yeah I would never found myself really rooting for him To like have a good guy turn And I mean I'd be lying though

Starting point is 00:07:22 I wasn't actually moved by the end And I realize what makes me actually cry in movies. What? Everything. No. I usually don't cry at death scenes, weirdly enough. Food for thought. The thing that it really moves me is belief.

Starting point is 00:07:41 That's what really gets me. Baby, they haven't talking. Believe. That's why in interstellar, when I was a Jackie Chan, Jessica Chastain. When Jackie Chan playing Matthew McConaid's daughter. Aren't we reviewing this movie? Don't we fall off on tangents? But that's why.

Starting point is 00:08:00 Someone steer this ship back onto the... You know, we call it content in the end. When Jessica Chastain's like, Daddy was the ghost or whatever. That's what I'm like, oh, bully really gets me. Or when the ship's spinning after Matt Damon blows up. And then Matthew McConaughey's like, let's go for this bitch.

Starting point is 00:08:16 He doesn't say that, but that's what he's thinking. He's like, all right, let's go for this page. Anyway, I think he would be great in the Puss and Bootson's universe. Listen, Matt McAugh, all right, all right, all right, put a video. He'd be great voice work for her pussymoot. It'd be awesome, him, and Antonio Benderz. Antonio Baderz is so good in this. He's perfect.

Starting point is 00:08:34 Yeah. I like how he's just not playing Zorro, but as a cat. He's actually a completely different character, actually. They could start, if I remember, I really don't remember that those, the Shrek movies as well. But if I remember it correctly, that was the appeal of the Shrek's love. Shrek his life. Yeah, I kind of remember those. Those were, like, creepy YouTube videos.

Starting point is 00:08:52 but the the but i think it terminus is great um i really i think they had a perfect handle on implementing western tropes as the part of their beat sheet for the way this movie unfolds like it seems like the first half of this movie is very much a western and then the second half goes a lot more fantastical but then the finale brings it back to being like a good marriage of both the Western and the Fantastic. It's like literally that Western finale trope of having to save the small town. I thought it was, it was really

Starting point is 00:09:29 heartfelt at the same time, too. I thought it was a really heartfelt film. Why is the town still after? And why are the cops still after? And that makes no sense. You mean at the very, very end? Yeah. Well, he never, he technically never... Oh, did you hear my tummy grow? Yeah, you got to get curly fries.

Starting point is 00:09:44 I gotta get those curly fries from Jack at the Box. He never technically cleared his name on the, on the bank rock. robbery that he was framed for he still saved the town it's a wash i know but in some people's eyes it might look like he brought that there that he saved the town after he brought the danger i mean everyone now knows i mean humpty clearly i know that's the weird part is the juxtaposition of everyone in the town being like hero but then you got the cars being like fill it yeah so but i guess that's kind of that kind of plays on the trope of like the worship of an outlaw in a way but he's not an

Starting point is 00:10:17 outlaw though at all except for some stuff that he did prior to the adventures Anyway, I thought that was really cool I love him in Salma High getting to work together again Puss? Yes, he's so precious His little teeth is a little meow His little whiskies Yeah, so every time I make a point I think you just come in with a little bit more details about Puss

Starting point is 00:10:41 Okay That's how we handle it Watson, Watson, Watson, Watson, Watson, he's not doing anything but walking He's literally doing nothing to you He's walking. He's walking, you do not attack that cat Watson. Todd, run for your life. Or completely ignore the danger around you.

Starting point is 00:10:58 I know, he don't even notice it. Todd, your dad did not raise you properly. You're in danger. How am I supposed to teach him about danger? You're in danger, Todd. Whenever a stranger came up to me and said, you want some candy. I always said, yes, I am poor. Come over here.

Starting point is 00:11:13 I would love some candy. Watson. Watson, look at mama. He's just stressed because you're in here. I know. He really hates this room. He hates you being in here because he knows he'll get the least attention here because your attention will be completely hot. That's true.

Starting point is 00:11:28 His television and not him. He's really mad about him. He's every time I step in this room for two seconds. He's like, whew-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h. What do you think you're doing? You don't like being in this room. I know. I almost done, baby.

Starting point is 00:11:42 I know, Malish. Come here. I know, baby. I know. Great use of music. Music? You music throughout. What I loved in the animation, especially beyond the incredible expressions of the balance of a cat behaving like a human to a cat being like a cat, is the use of texture on actual material items.

Starting point is 00:12:05 I constantly notice it like on the close up on the boots and on the hats and the walls. It was so realistic, baby. I'm talking about stuff. Listen. I know you can't be on your phone to distract yourself. So you will fall asleep from listening fatigue. To bored them, to people who bore me like you. Hey, hey, hey, we've got a camera pointer to us.

Starting point is 00:12:25 We can't show what you're really like when the camera's point. What you're really like, boring. Listen. Whoa. Listen, what I like about this movie, and I guess why this works so well is both, it plays as a kid's movie and a movie catered towards adults. No, thank you, sir. Thank you very much.

Starting point is 00:12:43 I appreciate that. It's catered to both adults and adults. It toes that nice. And adults. Adults and kids. You've confused me because the cat was here. Look, now you're going to complain. He's like, he's walking behind the TV.

Starting point is 00:12:57 He's getting his cat here everywhere. I know that's what you're thinking. No, I was actually, we're just going to knock over the tripod. Give me a baby. Anyway, I feel like the story line does a great job of towing that line. I think especially in some of the irreverent humor. Yeah. There's a lot of sensual.

Starting point is 00:13:19 Like, it's not full sexual. You're not going to get it as a kid. But there is something, like, sensual about a lot of the humor, the irreverent humor that they do in this movie that doesn't ever cross the, it's got to be at least, yeah, it is PG. It doesn't ever cross the boundaries. But sometimes it was surprising. It was pretty, like, edgy joke for an American animated movie, actually.

Starting point is 00:13:42 Yeah, and I love the spins that they did on making, because if I remember in the Shrek movies, they would have, like, characters that sometimes were like a cool spin on popular fantasy characters um they didn't like over like lullabies oh yeah like the gingerbread man but they're usually like a a schick that they do my gum drop buttons yeah i remember that not the schick of them but actual characters here's what they did i thought you know even with jack and jill the commitment to them being actual villains and sister in the fairy tale. They're fairy tales.

Starting point is 00:14:17 That's what they are. They're not lullabies. They're fairy tales. Fairy tales. Yeah, still the commitment to them being villains, I thought was a cool. I like the twists they take on them. Yes. And even the payoff with Jack at the Chi Piedstock is like a creepy pro.

Starting point is 00:14:34 What are those called in Westerns? Like the, how are you changing? Like weird. Prospector. Prospector. Is that the word? Yeah, I think so. I know, baby.

Starting point is 00:14:44 I'm almost done. I know. I wish they could see his face right now because he's not pleased. He's not pleased. This is like the struggle to stay focused discussion we're having here. Why? Because there's so many distractions happening at once, and I just want to talk about Interstellar. That's exactly what it is.

Starting point is 00:15:07 What do we cover? This is why I have a notepad now. They can't see it. This is why I have a notepad now. to keep me on track here. Well, I talked about, I've really put in a lot into this review. I think, you've nailed it.

Starting point is 00:15:22 I talked about the con. I talked about how good the characters were. I talked about the storyline. I craved a tiny bit more action. Not action, I craved more sword fights, like western. Maybe I'm just thinking it's all right with this boy. That's an action.

Starting point is 00:15:40 Sword fight. But in action, you also can be, like, explosions and cars. I'm more particular. I am saying, Jesus, H, you don't listen. Well, if you're going to yell, you got to put the mic properly faced at your mouth. It's above your mouth. Listen to me. You don't ever listen to me.

Starting point is 00:16:00 That's the problem here. Action in particular, I wanted to sort of. I think it's a hot-garet relationship. I want a divorce. No, no, no, no, no. It'll be bad financially for taxis. That's true. That's actually... It'll be hard. We're at the end of the year. It's gonna be tough. We get disgusted in like 2026.

Starting point is 00:16:22 2026? Yeah, we thought we have time to prepare throughout 2025. You've had stuff on your beard and I hope it was there this whole time. So flippin. What were you saying? Okay, you want to wear sword fights? A sword fights. And then, yeah, no, I mean, they kind of, I think the movie primes you for some action scenes like that.

Starting point is 00:16:55 Like, but we got like a lot of dance numbers. And we got, don't get me wrong, like, there's a lot of great tracking shots and cool chase sequences that go down. The jumping on the roof and, and the details to the catism of it all. is really fine. Yes, absolutely. So all of that was very, it's still like when it's there, when there's like cool action visuals,

Starting point is 00:17:16 it's there in the chase scenes and even like the, the one on the road with Jack and Jill, the one in the, not the jungle, but the whatever it is, when you plan after the Beanstalk, the Beanstalk scene,

Starting point is 00:17:28 the finale, like it's all very cool and visually appealing. But I do, I do think the movie kind of sets you up when it does kick off with like a cool on-routine. to a fight that you're going to kind of get some more action so I did I think reflecting

Starting point is 00:17:42 I'm like I could use like at least one more like really cool action sequence but overall I mean if they if it doesn't feel like they could fit it in and they would have to sacrifice a good story to fit in an action scene I'd always take a good story over a unnecessary action scene so yeah I thought that was really neat and I do what is like the kind of the what is the overall theme of this movie would you say cats are cute cats are cute that's 100% it don't declaw your cats

Starting point is 00:18:14 okay um it seems like forgiveness and accountability is a big part of it I think that's very important no forgiveness no no maybe second chances I kept mentioning second chances probably comes in the hands of like

Starting point is 00:18:29 forgiveness and accountability I can I can give someone a second chance without forgiving them wow then how would they succeed at that second chance. Well, that's the thing is they're going to mess up eventually and prove me right. And they're going to prove me correct.

Starting point is 00:18:44 Possibly succeed. And then I'll be able to look at the, I do it. That's the important thing. You want them to fail. You are a self-fulfilling prophecy situation. If they're strong enough to overcome my self-fulfillment, then that proves a point. But usually no one is. So that says something, doesn't it?

Starting point is 00:19:04 Yeah, you set up people to fail. Well, it's not my fault that they fail! They still fail on their own. Fair enough. Yeah, I mean, what are the themes? Family, because him with Imelda, the town, finding a place in belonging. Jealousy, anger, revenge. It's a pretty good amount there.

Starting point is 00:19:32 I think there's something kind of relatable in the thing that creates the divide between. them and also the unwillingness of Humpty Dumpty to the unwillingness of Humpty Dumpty to the unwillingness of Humpty Dumpty to accept

Starting point is 00:19:47 that he does actually belong where he's at. Well also misery loves company so he felt like he didn't belong and he wanted Puss to feel that same way. Exactly. And when Puss no longer felt that way, it was unacceptable to him and Puss became the enemy.

Starting point is 00:20:04 Yeah, I actually thought there flashback that illustrated their because in order for the heartbreak of their of their departure as brothers you have to have the heartfelt stuff first and i thought that that was really well illustrated beyond just how visually looked but in terms of the actual story showing the differences that even they're both coming from the same orphanage having similar experiences the identity and the way he the way Puss is received greatly affected the development of Humpty Dumpty

Starting point is 00:20:38 I think there's something that that right there I think grounds it in something that is actually very relatable and real. Well, isn't that really relatable for people who have competition within families? Absolutely. Yeah. So there's that thing divide, you have a sibling who's always jealous

Starting point is 00:20:54 of the attention that the younger or older one gets and so that shapes who they become throughout their life Yeah, I think that was That was like the smart thing to really ground the story there In spite of never really rooting for Humpty Dumpty Yeah

Starting point is 00:21:10 I think that was a really great set up to it And Salma Hyacca was just a great, great voice action She's so good I know. You've seen Desperado? Of course I've seen Desperado Once by time, Mexico I love that movie

Starting point is 00:21:22 We've never watched it together We should watch it together I saw in the theaters, did you? No, I watched it at home I was so bum when I When the movie told it's like she's dead Johnny Depp's that movie I went through Johnny Depp phase

Starting point is 00:21:33 I'm sorry I was like I think that was the time everyone was going Yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah everyone was in her Johnny Depp phase then Yep They have so just I was weirdly thinking about that a few days ago Like man it was kind of annoying when you learn that

Starting point is 00:21:48 Selma Hyac is just dead in that movie And you only see her in like a flashback I know I know Spoiler alert I mean it's the setup of the kid of the movie She's dead I know that scene Yeah so anyway

Starting point is 00:22:00 I thought this is great what i hear the one that is truly remarkable is pussy and boots the last wish everyone says that film is like completely incredible and it came out wow 2011 so they made the sequel to that like more than a decade later yeah wait when did it come out i want to say like two years ago no way the puss and boots too yeah yeah still never seen like anything from it i have never seen we didn't see that in theaters either we usually usually drug me to every film well not that time i don't think i had any interest i'm like why would i want to see a post of boots
