It's time for a game of Shadows.

Starting point is 00:00:46 A one. A two. And a three. That was well done. Not too shabby. Did our last one have some kind of a post-credit or no? I thought maybe they had a sting, a little tease for what's to come. We can chitty chat a little bit while we wait to see that pop up.

Starting point is 00:01:13 Well, man, I have to tell you, though, I haven't moved on from Rachel McAdams. I am very surprised. Okay. If I had to levy a wager, my wager would. be that they did that with like the hope that they could surprise us with her return in an in a threequel but also maybe not I don't know I like it was an aspect of the movie that seemed like to lack a punctuation where one seemed you know justifiably earned usually you the actress isn't in it or they are but she was and not for like a minute gosh is Stephen Fry naked yeah I really You're really cutting low on that. And Rachel McCann. Yeah, I don't know what to make of that, man.

Starting point is 00:02:04 Wow. Wow, three people played this dog. It's crazy. That's wild. Dude, well done, Reg on the casting. I do love a stylized credit sequence. Hans Zimmer, yeah, there you go. Makes sense.

Starting point is 00:02:20 And Lorne Balfe. Yeah, the credits are very fun. And they match the entire movie, and thematically. it works. This is one of those rare franchises that I feel like takes something where the source material isn't exactly like what this is, but it's still doing a lot of what the source material is spiritually. It's just like when Tim Burton made friggin sleepy hollow and like that's different from traditional sleepy hollow, but you're like, oh, this makes a lot of sense though. Like I get this take. I don't know the source material on this, which is, you know, this is my introduction to. Sherlock Holmes. So do we not have one? A post-credit scene? Yeah. I don't know. I guess we don't. Unless it's really at the very end. All right. Well, Citizens of Reject Nation, thank you for being here with us for Sherlock Holmes, too. If you are on Apple or Spotify, five-star

Starting point is 00:03:16 thumbs up. If you're on YouTube, thank you'd prepper for helping edit us down. And thank you, Chad Stahelsky for co-directing the second unit. Chad Stilisky? Chad Stahelsky? Oh, do I say it wrong? Maybe. It's Stahelsky? I always have said

Starting point is 00:03:35 Chad Stalisky. Oh, yeah, the L is definitely later on. I've been saying it wrong. I don't know if you're supposed How hard you're supposed to go on that H. The Helsky, Stilisky is what I. Anyway.

Starting point is 00:03:47 Joe La Truglio. Okay, so we just watched this one. Both of us, to recap, liked the first one a lot. A lot of fun. Yeah, a lot of fun. A lot of fun. I am curious just off the bat

Starting point is 00:04:00 and we will be getting to patron questions thank you so much to our patrons who sent us the questions but I just want to get your initial reaction to this coming off of watching the second one did this live up to the first one hype did this do what you were hoping for how are you feeling about Sherlock too

Starting point is 00:04:13 minus a couple of pretty you know evident things we are collectively dismayed about I had a lot of fun with this I really like the vibe and the timbre and just what they have assembled with these two movies like I would be this is a franchise that I would be thrilled to check in with every few years and just do

Starting point is 00:04:34 another adventure do all the different homes stories if you want to because I think like the combination of the way they've drawn the world here it's like I said a minute ago like I think this has a really nice blending of like totally Guy Ritchie style like definitely something that suits him it's you know it's you know it goes all over the globe but you know it's it's a traditionally British story and you know it lends itself to an adaptation that goes in his more pulpy direction while still throwing you a whole bunch of details and stuff like I'm curious to go back and watch these and see if you the viewer can deduce them entirely like I really liked and you know we've commented with the inserts and the punchins and inserts and the punchins and like here like the the notebook thing is an example of like an explanation or a twist or reveal that I'm like I don't know know if we would have really gotten that without the reveal. I don't know if you could really figure that out. But that's also not like the full conclusion of everything. That's just one aspect. So I'm not really that mad about it. Yeah, I had a lot of fun. I mean, like, I'm definitely

Starting point is 00:05:39 like Irene Adler is just such a specific and notable character here. And I don't know, like I'm not super well read on the Holmes like, you know, stories on paper. So I don't know if there maybe even is a story where we think she dies and then she comes back in a different stuff like that happens and there are i think instances where we think homes is dead in the stories and then of course eventually another one comes out and they figure out a way to explain how um so yeah in short um i really like what they do here and minus a couple of story beats uh i was thrilled to be along for another ride and would be thrilled to be along for a third in the future you said there is that we should check i think they were talking about maybe actually

Starting point is 00:06:23 finally doing a third one, but I don't know how like solid that is or if that's just people going, it's been a while maybe you know, but how are you feeling? I'm with you on so many things. Like I actually think that the plot of this one might even be stronger than the first one in a lot of ways because I'm so invested

Starting point is 00:06:39 in Sherlock and Watson that the fact that this is a that we have that reveal like they're after Watson and that's why Sherlock's being so protective and why he's actually taking this on. That gives us such great motivation. but there was the

Starting point is 00:06:55 so I really liked it for that reason and the twists I thought really worked and the twin reveal was really cool but for me it's not even just that it's Irene it's the lack of Rachel like their chemistry

Starting point is 00:07:09 and then they show us that again in this movie so that was a bit of a bummer and then the other thing I don't know if you felt this way but the first movie flew for me and this movie started to like the second act really really started to be a little like drawn out um yeah i'm surprised to see that this movie is only like it was only like two hour

Starting point is 00:07:28 five minutes or something because if this if you would ask me this felt like a two hour 30 minute movie yeah i would agree with that and and i'm kind of torn on how i feel about it because i i don't begrudge a movie sometimes that's supposed you know it's its homes is greatest arch nemesis and they're both friggin brilliant so like i don't blame a movie like this always for being like a headful like sometimes being overwhelmed is like a good thing but i do agree that like you get three quarters away and you're like all right cool i know we got a lot of shit to do and we're probably going to do a lot of crazy fight scenes and stuff that's the thing is like i guess the the biggest point of contention i would be curious about from the people is just i have to

Starting point is 00:08:07 imagine if you've read these you might take issue with the fact that they are so roller coastery i think it suits this but i do think that in a situation like this movie where you have like kind of a big thick boy of a plot and it's got to be momentous because it's moriarty blah blah blah, but you also have a ton of action. It does, yeah, feel like, you know, at certain times it could be a little more streamlined. I'm super with you. I think we have revealed that there's probably no post-credit sequence. This is a surprisingly short credit scene, all intents and purposes.

Starting point is 00:08:38 I think that we-credits sequence. We should get to some patron questions, see what they have to ask us. I want to know where you guys, what you guys are thinking, what you guys are feeling. And you guys ask such great questions. Another shout out to our royal rejects, the patrons themselves. Thank you guys for being there. We have copyright strikes. We have moved studios.

Starting point is 00:08:58 We are always trying to upgrade, and you guys are the way that we're able to do that. So thank you. Plus, you ask better questions than even we do. So I am leaving that to John because everybody knows with my nails. I cannot click the buttons that need to be the hardest button to button. Uh-oh. Yeah, the musical Uh-huh,

Starting point is 00:09:20 And yes, it's what? Obviously, Hans Emery It's a silly comment to even say, but It is. Step into these babies, Hans. All right, thank you again. Oh, my God. Here we go with the patron questions.

Starting point is 00:09:34 Jane Rhodes. My memory of this movie has faded a little bit, but my question, do y'all like this version of Sherlock and have y'all seen other Sherlock Holmes projects? So, John, I know you've seen way more than I have

Starting point is 00:09:46 or more well-versed in Sherlock lore than I am. I am the keeper of the Sherlock Library for the real rejects. So how do you feel about that? I like him, yeah. I mean, like this is, I think these came out at a fortunate time before it's like Robert Downey Jr. would have probably just been back and you have Iron Man, you know, helping with that. But this would be kind of a fresh, a breath of fresh air. Let's pinpoint in time really quick.

Starting point is 00:10:13 When this is. Yeah. Okay, so the first Sherlock Holmes was 2009. Oh, okay, okay. And then, yeah, so that was right after Iron Man. And then this one was 2011. Okay. So, yeah, like, I like this a lot as a Robert Downey Jr. project.

Starting point is 00:10:29 And I feel like, you know, this is... When was Madman? 2005, I think that started. So, I mean, yeah, you would have Jared Harris fresh on the heels of his tenure. Because what is, Madman's, like, seven seasons, I want to say. So we might, yeah, and he's not in all of them. but we're somewhere on the heels of that I would I would venture the guess um yeah I like this version of Sherlock I like the way that he you know embodies it it's I think I heard some

Starting point is 00:10:57 people say like well it's kind of like his jack sparrow because it's you know like a rascally Brit character but in the exact opposite way where as much as he is a bit of a mess he is also absolutely brilliant um I really like him and uh I feel that you laws Watson together and yeah for like this take on Sherlock Holmes I think he's great I think he does a really fine job of selling all the things that the character needs to sell without it feeling like he's on autopilot or like he's doing a schick that we've gotten used to you know like i kind of miss the the day and age where we would have robert downy junior popping up in a different major thing playing a character that certainly you know you're watching him but it also feels like you're

Starting point is 00:11:37 watching him play a character yeah play him for me i this is my introduction to show at home so i like this version because this is my version. So I guess he's my Sherlock. I'd be very interested to see other Sherlock's. Benedict Cumberbatch, I've seen most of those. I haven't. I've seen some of the older ones with like Basil Rathbone. Yeah. Not me.

Starting point is 00:12:00 Did Peter Cushing play Holmes? I have no idea. I lose track sometimes, but I've seen some of the like classic movies and stuff. Right. Yeah, I just haven't. So, yes, I like it. And no way. See, you know, there's Shrain Webster. Thank you. In my opinion, this is one.

Starting point is 00:12:15 of Robert Downey Jr.'s more serious roles. While there's comic relief in the movie, there's also a lot of area for his acting chops. What do you think of Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of Sherlock Holmes? So just from an acting perspective, John, do you feel like he did a good job here? Yeah. He lost himself in the character a bit for you?

Starting point is 00:12:34 Yeah, absolutely. I mean, he's definitely consistent with what he laid down in the first movie, maybe a little bit more, I don't know what the word is, maybe a little more saturated in this one than the first one, but I think that's appropriate for a sequel. And, yeah, I like the way he sells the physicality. I like the way he sells the brilliance and the, you know, again, the frustrating aspects of Holmes without ever losing us or being too off-putting.

Starting point is 00:12:59 You know, if he ever has to be kind of difficult or off-putting, I always feel like it's kind of in the right ways. And yeah, this is, he's really good at the accent. He's an actor who's proven that he's, you know, up to the challenge of and enjoys accent work. So yeah, like for an American actor playing an iconic British character, I think he does a pretty great job. And I feel like I almost imagine some kind of utopia where we have, you know how like Godzilla you have Japanese Godzilla and you have American Godzilla and they kind of just both coexist. I kind of like the idea of we have like, you know, we have BBC homes and we have like big blockbuster homes, which are not altogether entirely different because, you know, Guy Ritchie is a famous, you know, British director. But, you know, yeah.

Starting point is 00:13:44 I feel you on that, especially when you're talking about the physicality. I think it's very, very difficult as an actor to make the facial expressions, especially when you are going through a lot of Guy Ritchie slow-mo and getting punched and sometimes have a stunt double doing the work. And it's just your face. And, like, he really, really sells the physicality of this. So, yeah, I think that he's a really, he's an excellent actor. And this is super different than Iron Man.

Starting point is 00:14:13 which is obviously not the only thing I've seen him in, but was the thing that he was in at this time. So I'm sure there was a lot of comparisons at the time. And I think that there's a world in which Sherlock Holmes and Ironman could have been very similar personality-wise, and they are not. It makes sense on the heels of that for him to play this kid. This is kind of like a, I see how this happened and how this was fortuitous, because it's like this draws on enough things that we like about him playing Iron Man,

Starting point is 00:14:42 but also opens up a lane for him to do some other stuff too. So, like, that's, I think, very satisfying. And I feel like, yeah, for this particular take, he lends himself pretty well. Tim Porkroll. Yes, thank you, Tim. The ending of the film repeats the ending of what was going to be the final Sherlock Holmes book,

Starting point is 00:15:03 with Holmes pulling Mordiarty over the edge to both their deaths. Apparently, there is such a high demand that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote another story, showing home survived. Are y'all happy that they showed he survived in the film or would you have preferred them to have left it ambiguous?

Starting point is 00:15:22 The only way I would have preferred it to be left ambiguous I mean, it would have been a fine choice I might have liked it either way. I think it would have been more rewarding to leave it ambiguous and then many, many, many years later open up the idea of maybe we'll come back.

Starting point is 00:15:39 Like it makes sense if your idea was to do part three, I was like, yeah, they're going to plunge off the cliff and then the sort of reward at the very end will be this McGuffin from earlier which I had totally forgotten about but, you know, just like in the moment I was like, oh, clever, you know, like fun, a little detail.

Starting point is 00:15:55 So it's weird. It's like I don't begrudged this movie. It didn't take anything away. I feel like if we knew part three was coming, it would, you know, because we don't have a part three yet, it's kind of frustrating now. Whereas if he had stayed dead, I would have been like, well, that's it. Okay.

Starting point is 00:16:11 Food, we're done. totally and i mean you know i feel like they could have done that because it's not like obviously why not everybody knows this but it's possible through cultural osmosis to know that that ending was a thing and that arthur conan doyle did have to write him out of death at one point so you know i feel like you could have still left it ambiguous and had people be like now he'll come back don't worry this episode's brought to you by prize picks the app that made me finally understand my wife's obsession with fantasy sports she's been obsessed with fantasy sports the entire time i've known her and i'll be honest i would sometimes zone out whenever she would

Starting point is 00:16:52 talk stats she'd kill me for a minute of that recorded but until now now i get it because price picks makes it simple and fun and no it's not gambling it's daily fantasy sports you're not betting against other people or the house it's just you versus your predictions you pick more or less on two-player stats. Like will Steph Curry hit more than five-threes tonight? Or will Patrick Mahomes throw less than three TDs? It's touchdowns for you un-initiated. And if you're right, you get paid.

Starting point is 00:17:23 And I'm a man all about efficiency and speed. So what hooked me is how fast it is. You can make a lineup in under a minute in over 40 states, and it gives every game that extra level of excitement. When you're right, that feeling can be addicting in the best kind of way. So, Reject Nation, if you're ready to join the Alba household, You can download the Price Picks app today and use code Rejects to get $50 in lineups

Starting point is 00:17:43 after you play your first $5 lineup. That's code Rejects to get $50 in lineup after you play your first $5 lineup. Price Picks, it's good to be right. I thought it was worth it for the question mark bit at the end. Yeah, that was cool.

Starting point is 00:17:59 And the disguise thing. Yeah, it was cool. Going back to a couple of the previous questions, too, I did like, this movie made the disguises more obvious. That first movie blew my mind. that one time where I was like, oh my God,

Starting point is 00:18:10 the good at the card. But I do think he embodies, it's fun to watch him embody these different. This is like dollar store costumes. Yeah, yeah. They made it more apparent this time, it was very fun. Kebby, did anything catch you off guard

Starting point is 00:18:25 about the battle of wits between Sherlock and Mortyarty? Was it the clever twist, the intense mind games, or maybe just Sherlock winning with a well-timed pipe toss? Trivia. I'll get to the trivia after.

Starting point is 00:18:38 actually why don't we just stop there for a second John did it catch you off guard it's one of those things where I think the pipe thing did yeah because like there's a lot of stuff in these movies when he blew the flames that pipe thing or the basically yeah after they've both gone

Starting point is 00:18:56 through the you know brain palace sort of like oh you'll do this thing and then I'll do this thing we're playing 12 D chess and then yeah him taking that choice of like instead of doing any of these things I'm going to do yeah like a lower more sneaky move by yeah throwing these uh this ash and ember in your face uh so you know i that that kind of i thought that was a neat foil two guys who are trying to outwit each

Starting point is 00:19:24 other on like such a high level that yeah like a more unpredictable or more a less sophisticated choice becomes you know a clever gambit yeah i'd say i think that was cool me too i love the way that was shot. I love that when we went to Jared Harris's perspective, Mortyarty's perspective, I thought that was really like seeing Moriardi talk through, what is that telekinesia?

Starting point is 00:19:49 What is the? It feels like it. Yeah, whatever was happening. Exactly. I thought that that was really, really great. Kev B also threw in some trivia. He said, one of the most intense scenes from the film was the fight and fall over the, how do you say falls? Rikinback. Rikinback Falls. Downey Jr. and Jared Harris were strapped to robotic arms combined with live waterfall footage

Starting point is 00:20:12 and advanced digital effects, perfecting the robot movements took a week. So while Moriarty was falling, the crew was hanging on for Deer Life behind the scenes. That is bonks. Well done. It looked pretty good. Right, V. Nothing is worth anybody hanging on for Dear Life for entertainment, but it did work. Okay. Thank you for that, Kev. hawk what do you think of the handling of irene adler and her quick demise here compared to the first movie yeah so this is where i'm kind of surprised not every question is about her let's dive in mad about this yeah i'm to be honest john like i've never felt more on the same page with you and i are often on the same page but i just kept checking in with you every 10 minutes to make sure we were still on the same page because like she'd go come back right like i feel bamboozled i feel hoodwomened i feel hoodwomened

Starting point is 00:21:03 Like I feel You guys brought her back for the movie And then you reminded us These two have incredible chemistry And then we set a date And we said neither of us are going to be late And then we see that She orders the tea

Starting point is 00:21:18 We see the tuberculosis thing And then we never see her again We don't watch him mourn her Like I just think Is she gonna be in the third one Because I feel like what we I don't know I'm feeling really messed up about this

Starting point is 00:21:31 she had better like I think that is something where like if she doesn't come back in part of three I would be kind of bummed but what happened uh why'd they do that I think they did it it's weird it's one of the few things that I feel like there are things I think could be tighter about the movie like we talked about that's one of the few things that at least in the moment of this viewing experience that felt like it didn't quite hit the way they wanted it to like I think the purpose of that is for them to show like oh man moriarty's frigging serious bro he took out Holmes is, you know, his most potential romantic, you know, prospect, but also just somebody who's, like, on his level and, like, can totally outwit and foil him and with whom he, he's his catwoman, you know? Yeah. And, uh, you, you honestly think this was on purpose, a creative choice? This wasn't a scheduling issue? I have no idea, honestly. It feels the way it's executed makes it feel like some kind of scheduling thing. Right. My narrative brain says they want this as, again, a means of, like, showing that more already. these machinations are big serious.

Starting point is 00:22:35 But the way that it's handled and the fact that we don't really spend much time, but not that you need to change the character of Holmes and make him super emotional. But like you want the impact. You know reference her again. Yeah, you want him to acknowledge this. You want the impact of it to be felt.

Starting point is 00:22:48 And the movie kept handling it in a way where I just never quite believed it to be true. Like I fully expect it's going to be like halfway through if they ever make part three. if she doesn't show up and I'll just be going like man maybe they really did kill I know I still definitely definitely definitely don't believe it like I feel like that is tailored to be whatever if they ever do it apart of it I almost feel like that's the having your cake and eat it too is like we won't kill Holmes and we'll show you that he's alive so everyone be ready to come back and then maybe they'll surprise you in part three with Irene and maybe that just didn't come together you know on Irene hey do do do do but yeah same page man I'm big, big mad about that. I wonder, I'm curious from you guys in the comments, how did you guys feel about the Irene thing? Like, did you guys care like we did?

Starting point is 00:23:39 This made me feel like Ilsa Faust. Like, that was such a frustrating. That was one of the parts of dead reckoning that I was big frustrated about it. And I was like bargaining with the whole time. I was like, they can't just be it, though. We can't just get one, yeah, a quickie moment here and then we're done. And like there's less emphasis even on the death of Irene here. It just becomes like another detail and a sea of details.

Starting point is 00:24:01 so uh yeah and the fact that like after she was done he like didn't notice that she he knew she didn't show up for the dinner but he didn't that didn't concern him yeah it's big weird it's either yeah either unplanned and we did our best or yeah this is definitely like a thing you're supposed to take note of and we'll pay it off later and it just took way too long to do it uh thank you for asking the question hawk because we need to talk about it yeah j rushden okay who are favorite Sherlock and Watson on screen or television, mine is

Starting point is 00:24:35 a bad at Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. Sorry, I'm a bad person to answer the question because this is my only. So, John? Anytime Greg and Olivia's cats, Sherlock, and Watson have appeared on screen, which they have on this channel at some point, they are my favorite. Oh, great answer.

Starting point is 00:24:51 Great answer. Thanks, Jay, for the question. Hopefully that's exactly what you were looking for. Robbie, Bobar, Pirate. Hi, guys. How's it going? Okay, I'm going to pause there. How's it going? It's going pretty okay right now. It is going. I've got a lot of things on my mind and this movie was a headful, but it's going.

Starting point is 00:25:10 I know. Well, it really, at some point, I really, with all the jumping, I was like, I'm either dizzy or like, uh-huh. Yeah, my brain is starting to liqueful. This is definitely a verging. It's weird. It's presented in a way that's much more fun in rollercoastery, but it's verging on like, you know what? Don't try too hard to manage the details, just vibe. Also, for you guys at home, not that this is fully relevant, but we watch this in the morning. And this feels like a nighttime watch Yes This doesn't feel like This isn't a primer to start your day This is like once you're like

It is a movie that came out like around the time of like the Matrix in Dark City so it's one of those like, oh, if you like the Matrix check this out. I think it's a Kronenberg movie

Starting point is 00:29:50 and it's about like this living video game of sorts. Weird. It's really, it's a cool movie. Gattico, we watched in school for sure. I don't, I don't feel like I have a definitive, maybe Cold Mountain. Oh, okay, I got to see Cold Mountain. Yeah, really good.

Starting point is 00:30:30 Okay. The second part of it was your favorite deduction made. By Sherlock in this and in the previous movie. Keep up a good work and chow from Sardinia. Oh boy. Who's your favorite deductible? See, that's the thing is these movies are dizzying. I know.

Starting point is 00:30:45 And watching them once is like such a blend of like it's moving really fast. There are a lot of details at you. Then you're like in his perspective and he's thinking. really fast and then there's a bunch of details and like I'm trying to think what was the best revelation there was like the stuff in the last movie with the bugs that was really interesting or when they went into the room and there was like

Starting point is 00:31:03 the one mushroomy whatever thing that they used yeah me trying to recall these I was gonna say I mean you know the thing with the whole like facial reconstructive surgery that was cool pretty interesting yeah

Starting point is 00:31:17 yeah stuff that comes to mind is not necessarily deductions as much as it is like you know things that he did like that whole thing with a lipstick or whatever yeah that was really cool um god i feel like i'm going to fail this that's got to be good enough no those were good enough we did a good job with those write them in the comments we'll tell you if we ever come back for three yeah that is sherlock too uh wait did we find out if there's a third one what was the uh i looked and it said basically that they've been talking about it for a long time and as of

Starting point is 00:31:50 24, Jude Law had mentioned that there's a new version of the script in the works. Dexter Fletcher at one point was rumored to maybe be attached, but that could be totally different now. Yeah, I like Dexter Fletcher. In terms of, like, people to take over, they'd be a cool. But what about Rachel? No idea. And I feel like they would have a perfect opportunity to friggin' bring her back.

Starting point is 00:32:13 So, I don't know. I don't know. I'm hoping. Cure for tuberculosis. It was pretty sick when he knew that. That guy was in the friggin rafters. That was kind of cool. That was cool because the B.O. smell.

Starting point is 00:32:41 John, any final thoughts before we get out of here? No, just love the cast. Love the production values. I think Guy Ritchie's got a really fun, punchy vibe and stuff. of Jared Harris's Mordiart. Moriarty. I know. Every time I said,

Starting point is 00:32:54 Moriarty, Morty, Morty-Ry-R-R-T. Yeah, and I keep, and I, too, I mean, I like Mary a lot. I was hoping that she would, like, come in and help out in some clever way. In a little bit, but not much, so that would be a cool thing for next time. The way, I kept thinking Irene was going to come and save the day. I know, I know. That's fine. You know what?
