I'm ready to protect you here. All right. Protect me. Protect my body. There it is. Okay, okay, Andrew. Andrew, we just finished the hitman's wife's bodyguard. Is that what we watched?

We'll correct that from the beginning. Yeah, that's the movie, man. What did you think? I think that if you guys are listening to us on Apple or Spotify, if I should drop a rating. Yes, but in regards to the movie, look, I still found it fun and entertaining, which I think that, I mean, look, they kind of were self-aware of what we were in for, like with the first film,

but I think the magic was a little bit like we were talking about during the reaction. Like, I still loved Selma Hyac in this film. She's a lot of fun. You can tell she has, she's got a lot of charisma and energy, and she's having a great time, which I appreciate it.

I still really enjoyed watching her character. And I'm glad they gave her a lot of depth and some backstory with her and Antonio Banderas' character, which I'll get to him in a second. So I appreciated all that. But again, the thing that I was looking most forward to, like literally in our introduction here, was watching the interactions between Ryan Reynolds and Samuel Jackson.

That's the part I really loved the most in the first film. And we did, again, there was kind of a breakage with Selma Hyake where she got the whole amnesia thing, and she was like just stalling. And, you know, we got a little breakage from her so that they could shine low, which I loved all that. great. And also, I really did love the whole

thing with Morgan Freeman being his dad. I thought that was great. I was not expecting that. Not at all, no. So that was fun. That was good. And I know it could feel a little repetitive in regards to, well, we already saw the first movie. It was already them interacting

the entire, most of the first movie, if not the whole first movie. Yeah. I understand that, but if you want to play that game, okay, well, it's a little repetitive, having Ryan Reynolds being knocked out five different times in the entire film. So I mean, if you want to play that game, I can play that too. But point being is, look, I'm glad we got a little bit of time of just the two of them. I would have liked more. And again, I'm very grateful we, Selma Hyatt got to have more screen time.

I don't mind having her do a couple scenes with the three of them even. I thought they all had some good chemistry together for sure. But I would have liked a lot more screen time with just the two of them. If I had to have a major gripe, the action is still great, the stunt work is still great, some of the CGI and visuals with the explosions and all that. It's a lot of hard work was still put in there. And I actually look, the whole thing with the, I mean, just like with what we talked about in regards to the whole storyline, there's not really much there. I mean, you have the whole Antonio Banderas who wants to, you know, destroy Europe for Greece

or whatever. I already forgot it. It is what it is. But the point being is I didn't care about all that. But I did, again, enjoy Antonio Banderas's energy. It's always fun watching him play a bad guy. And I'm glad we got to see a bad guy at this time. The bad guy, as much as I love Gary Oldman and how brutal.

and scary he was in the first film. I at least appreciated getting to see him do that one-on-one hand-to-hand combat. I'm going to go into more. I want to hear Aaron's thoughts, though. Mother! Listen, I really, really enjoyed the first movie. A lot.

I thought the chemistry was really good between the two of them. The plot was a little light, but, you know, the chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Samuel Jackson really made up for that. That being said, this movie's a goddamn mess. I before I get into my criticisms I'll say the things that I like first I really enjoyed some of the bits that we had here between the little scenes of comedy and the levity there's not all the comedy worked for me in this movie I would say less the comedy worked for me in this movie than did the first one but still the comedy moments that did hit really hit hard for sure I think that the chemistry between Samuel Jackson and Ryan Reynolds was still there even though It's not as prominent of a part of this movie.

And Antonio Banderas was fun. And that's where my positives end. This movie, that's it. That's it. And the action, right? The action was worse in the first movie. I will say that for me. Okay.

I would say what made it worse is the fact that before we got like these longer segments of really getting to see these characters be capable. In this one, it felt like more cut up. And the one takes were a really cool part of the first one. were not as prominent in this movie and they would have them but they would like cut like they give us like maybe like a few seconds of a cool oneer and then they would like cut away to something else which i found a little annoying as we're watching it yeah but when we're in those moments we're cool uh i think that you know conceptually the idea of a sequel is very cool and i think that what they miss the point of what makes this franchise or what makes this premise so fun it's not the fact that it's a hitman and a body bodyguard. It's the fact that it's Ryan Reynolds as a bodyguard and Samuel Jackson as a hitman. And though I really enjoyed Sama Hayek in the first movie and she's very consistent with her character, I think she worked in a capacity when she was away from the primary plot because that gives her and just her big energy at time and the space to really shine her heightenedness against like a more

subdued background. But when she's in the middle of that, I feel like her energy kind of of takes over every aspect of whatever scene she's encapsulating, which is a great thing for Samahika as an actress, but I think when your whole crux of your franchise and your premise is the banter between your characters, it just doesn't work as well. Also, with her being married to Samuel Jackson and their energy being so chaotic together, that also takes away from the dynamic of Samuel Jackson and Ryan Reynolds because no it's okay and it makes it feel like more of a third wheel

and you can tell that this movie didn't really know how to balance those three characters because it kept relying on the gag of knocking Ryan Reynolds out to have the husband and wife kind of take the lead together also with that I felt Samuel Jackson where he in the first one because he was like the more silly one and Ryan Reynolds was more of the straight man and even though he was still Ronald in that straight man role, he allowed him to really shine

and have fun with this movie. Garian. Oh, Gary and Johan, the guys who were in 30 seconds of this movie. R.P. Gary and Johan. But because it was really allowing those two to shine, I felt as though

oh no, what was I saying? Because he was very much the loose cannon of the first one within the dynamic, I felt like in this one, we've gotten the Samuel Jackson we've seen lately in recent years where he's not the lead where he's like having fun but it feels like he's more there to like get a paycheck who's just part of the movie rather than be there to be like I am the show. You know what I'm saying? I'm here to assist the show rather than be the show and be the lead in that dynamic. I'm not sure if that's something you felt, but that's something I completely agree.

No, that's a good point. I mean, they constantly kept knocking Ryan Reynolds at out and they couldn't balance out the three of them. And I agree with you. The contrast between the two of them, I liked, you know, how stoic and strategic and, like, straightforward, even though there was some comedic, you know, bits that Ryan, Ryan, he's Ryan Reynolds, he's going to be comedic. But he was a lot more serious in the first film, you know, than Samuel Jackson's character. And Samuel Jackson was absolutely hysterical in the first film. And I love that contrast.

And again, we just didn't get, you know, the contrast of those two characters getting to watch those interactions like we did in this film because, again, it was conflating with having someone Hayek's character in the middle of those two. So, yeah. That's a perfect analogy for this movie because when you look it on Amazon, it says action, comedy, confused, thrilling. I was like, yeah, I felt like this movie was confused about what it needed to be or what it wanted to be. I also think, too, because so much is going on at the frenetic pacing, it doesn't give us, it doesn't give us time to bring. breathe and take it all. It's a lot happening all at once. Again, at such a frenetic pace, it's hard to take it all in.

It's a lot. And also, adding to the fact that it's a lot, I don't know if you felt this way, but I was like, I don't really care about, like, the plot of, like, what's happening. Like, the end of the world plot is, like, one, something we've seen so many times, but, too, they didn't really, like, flesh out, like,

what the stakes are. Like, yeah, you should know what the stakes are. Like, end of the world is bad, right? Just inherently. And we just had so many characters. I felt like there was potential for Frank Gorilla's character to be interesting.

I feel like within his own story but he was just so sparsely in this movie it didn't really get him the chance to shine. I agree with you. I agree with you. Yeah, he's an interesting character. I just wanted him in the damn film more. And also too, like, I know we harped on it

during the reaction, but sorry, we got invested in the first film and it was such a big part of the arc of Ryan Reynolds' character in the first film was that redemption in his own character of forgiving someone that he blamed for something that wasn't her fault was his girlfriend and then they came back together and again I get it she's not in this film fine

some kind of flashback or some kind of explanation exposition what the hell happened and I know there's going to be people in the comments Andrew they broke up that's it I understand that can you get an explanation what the hell happened why they didn't even acknowledge her so we didn't even know if they broke up as far as we're concerned if you saw the first movie and didn't see this movie? No, if you saw this movie didn't see the first movie, you would never know he had

a girlfriend in the first movie or had a love interest or ex-love interest. And they also read con like you said too, because I misheard the line, but they read con that, because he got demoted in the first movie after Kirasawa, that whole thing, and they said he got his license revoked, right? They did. No, no. In this movie, they said he got his license

to vote. Yeah, but I'm saying in the first movie it was demoted not revoked. Exactly. He went from a AAA license or AAA agent a bodyguard to like a one star bodyguard but he was still a bodyguard because the movie opens with the fact that he's still capable he's just in a less prominent position than he was and he literally is still bodyguarding in the first movie

in like the second or third scene Richard E. Grant's character with the docks and who we see later in this way. Which happens after Kirasawa. They red conned it. And the fact that they red conned that the whole point of the first one right is that he is still capable body bodyguard but he was extremely successful because he was efficient at his job he was so good at his job that the fact that he let a high client die is what what killed his his career

prospects and whatnot for sure but he himself was still great at his job like either the the first thing that comes from my mind is when samuel jackson's going to the the clock tower and he's following him taking out all the guys behind him right and he's very much by the book and he's still Just that guy who's on top of every situation. And in this movie, it felt like they retconned that and made him more incompetent and more goofy so for the sake of Salma Hayek shining more. Because he was very much not,

he didn't want to kill anybody, and he was very much kind of like whiny, and they made him feel like because he lost his license, he was bad at his job and he, like, lost his confidence, which doesn't make sense in relation to the end of the first movie because he was still great at his job. And the fact that he was so good at his job, never been shot and he goes out of his way to get shot for samuel o jackson at the end of the

first movie only doubling down on the fact that he's still a very capable bodyguard yeah and i see i really understand what they were trying to do with this character but again making him so insecure about the fact that he wasn't triple a licensed or whatever i'm like to me personally again this is just made subjective i just didn't find that interesting and though again how they made him extra goofy like Deadpool style which again I love seeing him like that in general just not this particular character for me I think you felt the same way but right um you know what I've been a stronger movie for me yeah is if this movie was the hitman's bodyguard too and it was about samuel jackson going to Ryan Reynolds to help him save his wife but it's not dealing with the

espionage or like this political thing that's happening in the world what if we got to explore the world of hitmen? What if it was like, weeks were the crime world of it? That sounds way more interesting. It sounds more fun. And the buddy cop is what makes it. Them going on a journey together and then bickering is what makes that journey so fun. Have you seen the lethal weapon films?

All right? Rush hour, right? No. I might have seen seen the first lethal weapon, but I don't remember it at all. Well, the point I'm making is like Riggs and Murtah like, regardless of the way, I love I love all four. The films, the first two are the best. But the point I'm trying to make is the chemistry and the relationship between those two characters and their interaction. Those are the strength of those films, regardless of whatever you think of the

storylines of those films. Having a major, and again, I know they weren't separated in this film, but having someone, and I know people are going to say, well, Joe Pesci came in the second film, yes, but he was an added addition. He didn't, and again, I'm not saying someone like divided them, but again, it was interfering with their interactions kind of thing. Just her infectious energy and her screen presence was there was a dichotomy in their interactions like Joe Pesci elevated and added to what they were already doing and like them making

fun of him in the second movie I hope I'm not spoiling it for you but the point I'm making is like it wasn't detracting from the two of them in the buddy cop sense you know what I'm saying whereas again I love some I still really enjoyed her in this I hope that's not being lost I really enjoyed her but her scenes with them again it was detracting from their chemistry the buddy cop style that I want to see with those two

too. So again, those are my thoughts. I'm going to get into the trivia in a second, but I think that's where a major part of this film was lost. And what you just described, that sounds like a far more satisfying sequel, like just dealing and exploring that. The underground world of hit men and crime. Yeah. But with them still being the leads, that would have been a lot, much more fun for me. But something else I want to add, I was happy when we did finally get Samuel Jackson and Ryan Reynolds kind of back in their buddy cop playing. But even then, And for me, it still felt different because Ryan Reynolds is still playing this incompetent version of the character from the first one.

And Samuel Jackson is still, I don't want to say phoning it in because he was still acting, but you can tell he wasn't that same level of how he was in the first one. Yeah. You know, he was there for the energy he brought in the first. It was just so magnetic and he was just so fun and so funny. And this one, he was just reacting rather than being of the show. And I felt like, yeah, this movie could. have really benefited from maybe a stronger script and a stronger story

and you know Ryan Reynolds is always great in every movie he plays and I just felt like he needed to be a more competent character and not have him be the butt of every joke because we don't want to yeah we want to see him be cool you know I actually felt bad

for him. I felt bad for him bro and yeah like granted I felt bad for him for the first in the first one but I still felt like he was capable and he was good and did he still have skill in this one sure but it was so encompassed by this unfounded added plot of the fact that he was so obsessed with the fact that he wasn't a AAA bodyguard anymore granted that was part of the first one but he was still capable and and they took it they never

even resolved that that issue well they did they're like he doesn't need his license anymore and hopefully if I still like these two characters I still would want to see a third one, I hope that they can embrace the fact that he doesn't need his license anymore and maybe he's doing like more underground stuff now, but he's bringing him back to the state of being a capable lead. Capable star

the franchise. They kind of did the same thing with his character in this movie, although in the first movie it was far more interesting where look he lost this guy, Gerasawa, how have you say his name, apologies. Gerasawa. They lost he lost his character, got demoted, blamed his girlfriend, lost the relationship there,

Okay, this is a really lost man through a lot of traumatic effects. He feels like he has felt like he has lost everything. But he's still like kicking and going. And then this, I'm like, okay, he's very insecure. He's extremely goofy. And I just, again, personally, I just didn't find that as interesting. It just felt rinse and repeat, but demonstrably shittier. I want to take a quick moment to thank today's sponsor, Acorns.

was only relevant for a scene. And I feel like I don't like when movies give you information for the sole purpose of just having it mean one thing and not having it be prevalent throughout the whole story. Like if we would have set that gelato thing up early and like made it a point of like him safety and like maybe like it was the anniversary of his mom's death or something. Like this time of year was something that was like really like sensitive for him. Okay, that would have made sense. And like him kind of going through that arc of the story, sure. But for you to just drop it in one scene just for the reveal of like, oh, he's getting gelato. because he's, like, he's strad about his life

and then never bringing it up again. Also, the fact that, I don't know, the whole... You got over it pretty quickly, too. You got over it pretty quickly, and it just made it just irrelevant. And also the twist of Antonio Banderas and Salma Hyke having a thing, and then she had Amisia.

Like, granted, it was that a funny little joke, sure. But I don't know, it just didn't, like, add a whole ton to the story. I don't know if you felt that way, maybe you did. I think it was just so they could have an excuse to have those two actors together again. I mean, it didn't feel like it added a whole ton. And again, I have not seen Desperato or any of the other films that they have been in. They have a legacy and a history together

as actors. They're very good friends with each other. So I think it was more of a meta thing they wanted to add into the movie because they've done so many movies in the past. Right. But to this film, agreed with you. It didn't really add. But again, I always enjoy seeing them interact with each other

in their scenes together. And the comedy is still good. I still liked the scenes. You guys saw me. I was I was dying laughing in some parts and like the reveal of Morgan Freeman being the dad, which is also came out of left field. I like before you're saying Morgan Freeman. It was fun. It didn't add a

ton to it. I think just the inclusion of Tom, I think his name's Tom Hooper, I want to say, and Morgan Freeman added to this new established sense of insecurity that Ryan Reynolds had and I thought, you know, if we would have played on that more or

Tom Hooper. I feel like if we still had him be competent but still address the fact that he has insecurities about his placing in the world, I think that would have been stronger, but him being incompetent and wanted to be a pacifist, coupled with that, I don't know, it just, it didn't work for me. Yeah, I agree with you.

Lost potential, but again, there were some enjoyable things. It just didn't connect into the winning formula that worked in the first film in this film. It just felt like a bunch of random scenes that just turned into a very schlocky, weird film for me. But, I mean, if you guys loved it, that's awesome again. And we appreciated certain moments, and we still like the, you know, certain moments with Ryan Reynolds and Samuel Jackson.

And again, I still loved the energy and hystericalness of Selma Hayek's character. I thought she was great in this. Having said that, and there were some really good action sequences, having said that. Before you get into that, did you feel like Sama Hayek and Ryan Reynolds had good chemistry? I mean, I thought they were fine together, nothing like terrible. But there were some weird-ass scenes between them as well. I don't think they did. I just thought they were okay together.

Which is not what you want in a movie about the hitman's wife's bodyguard. Yeah, I thought there were, again, there were some scenes where, again, I know her character is just extremely unique and interesting. But the scene where she's rubbing is, I'm like, what is going on here? I felt like whenever Samuel Jackson and Ryan Reynolds were together, it was like this give and take energy exchange. But whenever it was Salma Hayek and Ryan Reynolds, it was very much, she's the show when he's responsible. bonding to her being this bigger energy. It was giving her the space to shine. So it didn't feel balanced

whenever they interacted. Yeah. I could say that. Like I said, it was okay. But the thing I was missing the most was those two. Prime amounts and Simile Jackson. I just wanted more of that in this film. Yeah, I don't think this energy, I don't think the franchise is lost. I would love to see a third one. But let's

bring it back to focus. Let's bring it back to our two leads. Yes. But yeah, with that, Andrew. All right, you're going to like this first one. So Johnny James and Dennis Smith, the actors who respectively portray Johan and Gary, the characters that act as short-lived decoys for Ryan Rounds and Samuel Jackson's characters are actually their stunt doubles. Ah, that's fun. That's fun. Hey, we'll give them their due. Might as well go out in glory as stunt doubles, right? Yes, yes. Ryan rounds said of being slapped around in this film,

and hit man's wife's bodyguard, I'm slapped in the face twice by Selma Hayek and once by Samuel L. Jackson. For the record, it was Selma who didn't pull the punches, not even once. I can still feel the sharp sting of her tiny hand, working its way into my soft Hollywood cheekbones. May God have mercy on her soul. Ryan Reynolds, I feel your pain in this film. You took a lot of beatings and a lot of times where you knocked out, my friend.

Rest and peace, we are looking forward to deadpool. We're green. Thank you. That's very good. The mugshot of Michael Bryce in an ugly Christmas sweater was actually from Ryan Reynolds' real-life Instagram from 2018. Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal pranked Reynolds

to an ugly Christmas sweater party that wasn't really an ugly Christmas. sweater party the photo is in crop version without jackman and jillen hall and has since become a popular meme template that's funny i know that i know that picture yeah selma hyac refused to do the shot where all three main characters are drugged and fall on each other when she found out that ryan round's face would end up on her butt and her face would be against samuelo jackson's crotch they had to use a body double for her absolutely the possibility of another sequel has been touted by the film's director Patrick Hughes prior to this picture's premiere in June 2021. He said of another sequel in an interview.

It dawned me during the first film that the endlessly suffering fool who is Michael Bryce must suffer endlessly. Therefore, we must endlessly make sequels. As a result, the sequel does leave things ready for another film. All we can say is that it sets Ryan up to suffer endlessly. Endlessly. Well, you really did make him suffer endlessly in this film. He did. He did. So, I mean, if that's what you continue to aspire to do, I say, I guess make a third one, although I still say, I don't mind if you do that. Just get back to the basics of the buddy cops, you know, interactions and stuff like that.

But I'd like to go in a little bit different of a direction than just making him suffer, but that's just me. I agree. Yeah, let's see. Star Sama Hyac was shocked when she was asked to reprise in the sequel, her small supporting part of Sonia Kincaid from the hitman's bodyguard. She said, quite frankly, I was shocked. I've been in so many movies where we get the call.

Oh, my God, you're one of the most like characters in the film. for the first time there was a director that said I'm going to listen to the audience but I didn't trust him at the beginning I said oh he's just exaggerating he's just being nice but then when we started talking about it he told me the storyline and then I realized oh my god this guy is not just for real but he also wants me involved in the process that's awesome it's awesome you can tell yep um let me do at least 150 casting crew from the hitman's bodyguard the first film came back to work on the sequel that's cool I Let's see if we got any spoilers here. Do one or two more at all. All right, all right. Oh, were you asking? Oh, no, you were asking about Morgan Freeman and Samuel L. Jackson. Morgan Freeman and Antonio Banderas have been in a film together called The Code.

Ah, okay, okay. Prior to the film's release and even in the movie's press kit, the details of Morgan Freeman's role and character in the movie were kept somewhat secret. As revealed in the film, Freeman plays. the stepfather of Michael Bryce though he is named Michael Bryce senior he is building the credits as just senior smart I mean you don't want to give the way that reveal because again we obviously had never seen this film although we're probably gonna be accused of having seen it as we usually do but again that's that's

a fun little twist in the film like so it makes sense in the in the in the uh when you're putting in the press kit just put senior in there like yeah so for him to be the stepfather named after him I have to imagine she got pregnant something happened to the original, the biological dad, and then they got married, and by the time he was born, named after the stepfather. Or, or, that's not his biological mother, and they adopted.

We don't know. Oh, okay. But the name thing wouldn't make sense. I think the first one you said makes more sense, but I'm just saying because we're going on this whole adoption thing with someone. Who knows? Who knows? Yeah, but I think you're right about the first one.

All right. last one I shall read after Michael Bryce slams the head of Magnuson, Tom Hooper into the jukebox it plays the sign by Swedish pop group Asa Bass

to which Michael remarks that he likes this song. It is the same song that he sang during the car ride in the hit man's bodyguard while Darius Concade was loudly singing nobody gets out live written by Jackson himself. That's cool. Damn, I wish I would have picked up on

that one, but I'm glad we read about it. That's a good one. I'll give the film credit. That's that's meta and that's cool. That's a Deadpool type of move. That's a deadpool type of move. All right, guys, let us know what you guys thought of the hitman's wife. Bodyguard. I said it. I said it. I said it right. Gosh, dang it. That's a tough one, honestly. It's a long title. It's a long title. But yeah, come back for the next one. We will be here awaiting your love, give views to hang out. And yeah, see you guys later. Doses. Protect me. Guito Galindo.

You're a good guy. Nay, a great guy. A germane gentleman, if you will. A gracious and gregarious a gonorrhoea gile guy. Gonorrhea gile guy. You've got much guile and much gonorrhea. But you're not a goner is the important thing to remember.

You are a gateway drug. You're a gateway drug to all things great and lugubrious. It's a little loophole G word there. Because you are a G yourself. You're an OG. You're garbage germs. You're garbage germs. Yeah, that's right, man.

You should be at the Guggenheim so people can study you in your garbagey, germy, germane, gentlemanly ways. Your glacier glazed. Your glacier glazed. I mean, that sounds actually kind of cool, like a specialized, you know, frosted donut. It's a great donut.

Yeah, I was going to say, Glacier glaze, you know, a little bit of, like, you know, cool mint chips inside of it or something. You know all about that. A little Titanic. A little Titanic. Titanic. Ironically.

That's what you, yeah, a little Titanic sprinkle on top. It's two hours to make that down. You know, it's worth it

though. It's worth the tender loving care that goes into it, which is much similar to the tender loving care

that you have shown us because you're part of the generous generation. You are part of the generous generation. Gen. Gen.

As we like to call it, Generation generous. Generosity with the velocity. and hey, hey, you're never grating, all right, but I bet you grate some mean cheese. Any G-word will do, G.

I'm out of G-words. You're out of G-words? Well, you know, hey, Gito Galindo, send us your favorite G-words so that we know you got this. And maybe next month we'll be even more loaded up with more and more G-words to describe your greatness. send you some Godiva grapes. Oh, yeah, some Giradelli chocolates or something like that.

Or, um, uh, I think we did. Yeah, we did it. All right. Gucci. You're so Gucci. Be well. We love you. Stay well.
