possibility of this movie and we can't wait for it we are the she Jeejacks if you don't know we usually cover horror movies but here we are in a whole new genre for us getting ready for this entire ride we're gonna be going through all the Hobbit movies as well so thank you for being here on this journey and let's get started let's do it oh Miranda Otto that's her name bro the the blonde yeah Yeah, right now I died. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's my name, Miranda Otto.

God damn it. I should have been able to pull that. I'm so pissed to myself. Citizens Reject Nation, we just watched the two towers. This is the second movie in the Lord of the Rings franchise. And if you guys are with us right now, if you're listening on Apple, Spotify, make sure you give us that five star. If you're watching on YouTube, don't forget, thumbs up, comment along.

We want to hear everything you guys have to say. You guys have seen this movie so many more times than us. so we really want to know, no spoilers, but what did we miss? Tell us all the things. Yeah. Okay, Tara, just initial thoughts on one versus two. Where's your heart lie right now? I really like to.

I mean, I love them both, but this one just, wow, like epic. Like, I got goosebumps multiple times, and I just, I, the tree thing is so awesome. Three thing's so awesome. It's so cool. I love, I mostly, I really like that aspect. It's an aspect that I didn't see coming. I love it and that's probably why. Because they're both very high level films to me.

How are we feeling about Gandalf the White? I mean, I love him. I love the he returned. I think it was, you know, the fact that I didn't think about the fact that he could still be around by any means. Yeah. Because we watched him falling, but he is a wizard, bro. Yeah, he fought that demon, dude. Last time we talked a little bit about our favorite characters.

I know that yours, I think, was Sam. Yeah. Is Sam still your number one? Honestly, I really like Gilly, Gilden. Who? What's his name? Gilly. Gilded.

The redheaded. Who is? The dwarf guy. Gilden. No, no, no. Let's see, this is why we need this. Gimley. Gimley. Oh, I love Gimley. I mean, I love Aragorn.

That's awesome. I've never heard of Gimley before. He's not spoken about. He should be. Right. And now, I didn't think he would make it to the movie. No. And he has, I mean, to show, he is our, kind of our comedic relief here. He shows, like, a lot of strength and a lot of, like, just toss me over, man. Like, he is there for the battle and he's there with the front. Like, this movie really is a, movie about friendship with obviously multiple plot points in regards to darkness taking over and saving like the greenness. But I really like where Gimli lies in the middle of this story. We still have the entire fellowship other than Boromir. Yeah. So we didn't lose any fellowship members in this movie.

Right. We still have Pip and Mary, although they haven't been with us. We, of course, have Sam, we have Frodo, we've got, we have Gandalf back, we have Aragon, and we have, Gimley. Gimli, and we have Legolas. So we have everybody still, which I'm really grateful for because we didn't need to just lose somebody, especially Gimley, bro. And when they went out, I was like, it's going to be Aragorn or Gimley right now, but I didn't think it was going to be Aragorn. And I'm really glad it wasn't. I'm really glad we kept them.

One of the things I miss about the first one, which I like this movie as much as the first one for different reasons, but one of the things I missed is I really do miss Pipp and Mary being part of the team. And I miss Frodo and Sam being with Aragon and... Yeah, the whole troop together. Yes, I miss the whole squad together. Everybody, we split into three different storylines this time. We thought it was going to be two because we thought.

thought that Aragon's team would find Pipp and Mary quickly, but they never did reunite. Right. So we didn't end up getting two different stories. We got three full-blown different ones. Right. Which I really like, because I'm with you, I love the tree storyline. And I think it definitely speaks to all of us with when you think something's not your fight to fight, but it's like that poem and then they came for me.

There was no one left, right? And it's like, evil is evil and needs to be fought on all fronts. Mm-hmm. Totally. And so I thought I really like the tree storyline. I really like what's going on with Frodo and Sam. Their friendship is at the heart of this movie. Yeah.

It is the core of this. And kind of I feel that way about Gimley, Aragon, and Legloss, too. Yeah. So I'm loving that. I feel like we could have used more Galadriel in this one. I wish that we had more Kate Blanchett. You guys have Kate Blanchett. She was barely in the movie.

They might have just shot that during one and threw it in there. I don't know. Yeah. I wish that we had more Liv Tyler. I love their relationship. I don't want to see him with Miranda Otto. I really want to see him with Liv Tyler. Yeah.

So they're kind of messing with me there. But all this to say, I'm so unbelievably invested right now, bro. Yeah, me too. Me too. I just feel like, and the way they're throwing in, there's also like a friendship aspect that's so large that we are fighting for for Smeagle. we're fighting for him even at the end he becomes he's obviously coming over this demon is taking over him and becoming more and more gallum by the second and he's obviously going to lead them astray to whoever he thinks the woman is going to kill them

but i i truly think that in some way shape or form that the friendship aspect from froto and sam could possibly bring smigel back I do too, dude. Out of that and not from Gollum. And that is truly where it always. And I mean, even at the end, we did see, we saw Gandalf together with Legolas and Aragorn. And like all of them, you know, on their horses saying like, we see what's coming for us.

And it's a fight for middle earth. It's going to be bad. Yes. And but it's nice to see them all together. And how they got there, I mean, it was sort of all spread out. then they end up all together. And he ends up, I mean, Aragorn really is the one, along with Gimli, who brings up the fight in all of the men in that castle and finally convinces the king to, like, have some hope.

Right, and Legolas, totally too. Yeah, but Theodred is like my least favorite character so far. Yeah, he's not as bad, obviously, as like the Saramon or Sauron. No, no, no. But he's just, this is lacking. He shouldn't be in a leadership position. And we have so many leaders that shouldn't be in a leadership position in life. Yeah.

That it's just like, I see him and he's like, woe is us. And it's like the way, Eric, listen to Aragon, listen to Legloss. Listen to Gimli. Look at them. He said, throw me. Gimley said, throw me into the fight. Literally toss me. Right.

Meanwhile, goddamn Theodrid sitting there like, well, we have to give up. Give up what? The women and children are. to be murdered. So there's no giving up. You have to fight. We don't want to fight, but sometimes you have to fight. The fight came to you. The fight came to you. What are you going to do? You're just going to let everything. So that homeboy really pissed me off. I'm glad you brought up Gallum versus Smigel because I do, I'm so with you. I think that we've seen that this is a movie about greed and what that can do to you. And I do really feel that he is

an allegory for addiction, all different kinds of addiction. But who do you let win inside of you, the one that's paranoid, the one that is evil and is greedy and always wants more and selfish, or the one who realizes that friendship is on the line and love and the goodness of people. And we're watching Smeagel. I didn't know that Ghal had another, had Smeagel in him. We just thought of him as Ghal. Right. But there's something good in there.

And it is hopefully on Frodo and Sam, even more than Frodo, because Frodo is already trying, Sam has got to give the love and kindness to Smeagel the way that he gives to Frodo. Right. I agree with that. You know when it's hard. Yeah, I absolutely agree. I think that in the same way, the king was fighting against like his darkness and doom against hope. And the only way that he could see hope was through his friendship in a way with Eragorn.

Like he had, it's like when you're depressed, you need that one person to like nail this thing on the head multiple times until you're like, yeah, okay, get it. Get up and like go and do the damn thing. And then when they go out, that's such an awesome shot where they're just like, they ride out meet them. And I was like, they're not going to make it very far. And they're just like, like knocking them all down together. Because heart and hope and it's just like, it's like how the hope helps you take over the darkness and it gives you, you know, the light is at the end of the tunnel in this movie. And we see it with them until

Gallum is sort of taking over Ceremon. No, what, no. Smigel. God. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So many names in this. I know. So that's one thing I will also say is that there's so much lore to this and I do feel like I am paying the F attention.

But it is a little, when we had three different storylines and we're fighting battles in multiple locations and people's names all rhyme and sound the same, I really at the end. I really, at the end was trying to keep straight oh okay so the trees aren't going to the same fight right they are going to the Sauramon fight um because they need to take over there because Sauron's the one that came for the trees bro right but then this other fight that we see um with fro that comes to Frodo and sam is Sauron's uh black evil creature right coming to them so then we're fighting that fight

But then the Vigo Mortensen fight on that front is the orcs that are turned into the gorters. What's the thing that you called the orgs? The wargs that they were riding on. I never heard that word. I didn't hear that in this year. They were riding the worgs. They look like the pigs. Okay, but the orcs are the ones on top.

Yeah, the orcs are the people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So the orcs, that's a third fight. Yes. So that was like, whoa, there's so many fights going on. You guys are all fighting a common enemy, but they're all different sectors, kind of. Yeah.

So it was a little tough. And then when we introduced Aowen and Aomere and Aragon and Arwen, you know, it's all similar sounding. Don't I know it? That it was like, Grima and Gimley and Ghalem and Ghalm, that's all G's, Gandalf, there's just a lot of. And then we've got like Fangorn and Roe. and Mordor as locations. So it is a lot of information coming at us at once. And I think, like, as unbelievable as this is at shelling that out,

it really probably does take a second and a third and a fourth watch to really get the lay of the land. Totally. Like, they're making this movie, I feel like, for the book readers who are like, thank God, they're adding it all in versus us or people coming in cold are like, Hold up, I need a second. Because the elf that came back, the blonde elf that looked like Legolas, that wasn't, who I think we saw in the first movie, who's like, I'm proud to fight alongside you men.

Yeah. At one point, he knew his name. I don't know, I don't any longer know that man's name. Me neither. And I'm like, are you coming? I believe he was coming from Aeroen. That's the girl. Yeah, I believe he was coming from Liv Tyler.

Yeah. Team. but he might have been coming from Galadriel's team. So I don't actually, do you know the answer to that? I don't. I don't remember where he was coming from that he got there. We did hear Galadriel giving this speech for one second about what was happening. I think it was probably from Gladriel because they were the elves, right?

They're the elves. So is Liv Tyler. Yeah, I know. But Aeroen is the blonde girl. That's who I was saying. Oh, sorry. I didn't mean Arrowin. I meant what's Liv Tyler's name?

I don't know, Liv Tyler. I don't know her character's in. Arwin, Arwin. So I didn't know if he was coming from Arwin or from Galadriel. I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying.

I don't know about that. But I think, oh, wait, wait, wait. We saw them. We saw them crossing the bridge where Ardwin was at last. Where Arwin was. Where Arwin, Liv Tyler was. So he's coming from Team Arwen.

I think so. Then Arwen's dad be pissing me off too, bro. Orwin's dad's like, don't do this. And it's like, man, isn't that relatable? It feels like young love, right? I know. So just there's so many amazing characters.

Multiple people have multiple names. Aragon's name being Strider. Strider also. Gallum being smegle inside him. Yeah. And then like Gandalf being the white and but was the gray. But then there's also a white wizard, but it's not Gandalf. It's not Gandalf.

It's not Gandalf. the other guy, the tree, tree beards are also called ants. Yes, exactly. Like, everybody has a second name up in this bee. Even now Sam Wise, the Brave or whatever. It's so, it's a lot. Yeah, and I'm loving it, but this is not for the. The weary.

Yeah, it's like, holy crap, you got to keep your peepers peeled and be like, I'm studying this like it's for a test because you guys are throwing a lot at me and it's brilliant. I agree. And we're picking up what you're putting down, but oh, baby, does this? require every part of my brain. I agree. And I think if you are with us, like at your first time watching, like, subtitles help so much. So much because it also says who's speaking. And I'm like, oh. And that helps to dig it in here. Yeah, for us to remember because that would be tough.

Did you like the look of the first one or the second one better or equal? I think, I think equal. They both look incredible. They both look amazing, I think. And the way that they take those master shots with the environment with like the snowy cap mountains and the leaves and then the water and the waterfalls, like, that's amazing. And I really, really, really enjoyed the special effects that they did with the trees. The trees are just amazing. And I, like, love the trees. And I got so many goosebumps when I'm like, oh, duh, trees have roots.

They can hold against water. Yes. Like that makes sense. That's the grounded part. makes sense. Yeah. And that's just so epic. The thing that stood out to me a little more in this one than the first one is actually the score. I feel like the score in this one was even more elevated. It really moved with us. Yeah. And it was amazing in the first one too. Yeah. But maybe it was, I was just expecting the same. And I feel like they even upped their game for this one. I agree. I do

agree. I think, I mean, I made a comment a couple of times in regards to like the strings. Strings to me when someone's playing that It almost feels like a voice is singing out And I felt just very emotional I know they had that in the first one too But I don't think as much as they did in this one I don't usually ask you this But the third movie is called Lord of the Rings

The Return of the King Any theories on that The Return of the King The Return of the King So we had Fellowship of the Ring Then we had this one, the Two Towers and then we have the return of the king. King, to me, would that not be Sauron?

Oh. I don't know. Was he at one time? Or is it the king of the elves? Like, and then he takes back the greenness, the Shire, the King of the Elves, maybe. Maybe it's the good king. But the Shire would be the hobbits. Right.

Maybe they work together. I don't know. So who is, what is the return of the king? And what does this man want? Totally. I don't know, man. We will find out. We'll find out.

I'm so excited for the next one. I love these movies. Yeah, me too. I'm so with you. They're the best. Yeah, this is just truly, I understand what you guys have been talking about for all this time. So thank you for getting our two little butts in these seats. And we will see you guys for the return of the king.

We'll have Return of the Sheejects. Later. Reject Nation. I never really consider myself a. sports guy. I know so many people who are in the sports, so many people who watch this channel are into sports, my wife, into sports. Sometimes it feels emasculating while she yells at the TV and I don't know what's going on. Why that feels emasculating? That's more to do with me than her, that's for sure.

That's right. Forty five of our closest friends. Why don't we go through our invitation list together really fast? And what everyone's going to bring to eat. And what we're, there we, okay. Or what we're grateful for.

There's no but. Jackson Angel. Well, he's going to bring obviously the turkey, the whole turkey, a live turkey. Of course. And then Shannon Darbonne is going to stuff that turkey

with bits of bread and other seasonings. to make the stuffing. Oh, yes, and Uncle Dog, you know, Uncle Dog can be. He's probably going to show up with a box of paparoni pizza. A box of pepperoni pizza just for the people who don't love the Thanksgiving-type food. You've got to have options, and we appreciate that. And also, another option of a friend who got invited was Rukudisimd, who is. Yeah, no, I haven't seen him in forever.

Yeah, it's going to be so good to see you. And thank you for bringing your world-famous word salad. It's going to be a great one to talk over throughout the night. And Jose Montalvo. Well, every year we always give him crap about bringing burritos. But this year, he's bringing tacos. Oh, Thanksgiving tacos. Let's go.

Hey, it's fusion food. We love fusion. We also love Brandy Torres for showing up. Bringing a bowl of flaming hot brandy punch. It's going to be good. It's like a cider. It's mulled with spices. Oh, well, Mighty Beast.

He's bringing a pound of human flesh. Oh, good. for our cannibal guests. Yeah, we got a good amount. They're coming up here. Yeah, you know, you got to be tolerant of everyone's dietary needs, you know. And also, Elaine Dolales is bringing a tofurkey

made entirely of tofu. That's what I would need to eat. Yeah, so you get all your bases cover. You get human meat, you get turkey meat, you get non-meat entirely. Thank you for being on the lookout, Elaine. Mascarino, every year, same thing. Mascarino, Macarino all the time.

All the time. Get that cheesy goodness. That's what we even call him. That's his nickname, Macarino. Macarino. Macerino. He was like, hey, there's big macarino over there. Big Mac.

Big Macarini. It's funny. I ironic because he's really short. Anyway, who's next? It's an ironic name. Don't worry. Don't worry. Juventino Salas is coming.

Bringing Juventino salads for everybody. That's a great call. It's like a nice, you know, fresh garden salads, some nice little greens, maybe a little tomato or an onion or two. Oh, that sounds delicious. Croutons. We love it. Cyrus Sulkha is bringing a hookah because, you know, we're not a big fan of the cigarettes around here.

But, you know, it's cultural. That's right. Clearly, we got a lot of Persian-Armenian people who are coming based off of these names. Bring that turkey-flavored tobacco for the hookah. And Aaron Miserent is hot on Cyrus's tail bringing just a big bunch of cigars. Because after we all eat a big ass meal, we're going to all sit and not inhale, but taste the goodness of toasted tobacco products. That's great. Well, that's funny because you're not sponsoring this video.

Antonio is bringing T.R.C. Hey, Antonio. Look out. Just pure T.C. that you lick. Last year, it was hard to get everyone to eat. So this year, I don't think that was going to be a problem at all. And Dylan Jagger actually brought the CBD as well. So once we're all nice and full, we can ease some of that pain, some of that discomfort with a little bit of, you know, those other precious kid opioids.

Well, Lane Papp is fortunately bringing lollipops because when you get this high, you might want to eat a lot. And yes, indulging on Friendsgiving is a thing, but you can overdo it. So maybe you need to just suck on a lollipop to turn down some of those cravings. Hey, I like the sound of that. And, hey, hey, Ben is bringing a blended. smoothie for everyone made out of all your favorite thanksgiving vegetables, you know, get some green beans in there, get some mushrooms in there, get some, you know, a potato in there.

You've been consistently good at giving, knowing what they're bringing. I got, you know, I got food on my brain. I'm hungry. You've been doing such good job. Just naming food. I love food, you know. And Ben does too. Ben knows what I'm talking about.

It's just naming. That's right. Ben loves a blended smoothie made of Thanksgiving treats. And Ryan Lenzie is bringing Ryan Lanzania. Oh, definitely. Because they call Lanzania around here. The Lanzania. He's Italian. And we make fun.

We make fun of everyone's culture. It's kind of a racist friend's giving. Of course. A racist high friendsgiving. It's a good time. It's a very debauched time. And Jackson Ryan knows exactly what I'm talking about because he's just bringing a whole jackfruit. He's that vegan guy

who's just like, no, guys, seriously, this is exactly the same and you're going to love it. And then we all figure out how to cut through the jack fruits, you know, saw, like hard, spiky exterior. Oh, yeah. Oh, Joe Smith. Joe Smith, unfortunately, brings Brussels sprouts. Oh, damn it, Joe.

And everyone has to pretend to like the Brussels sprouts. I was hoping you would bring these. Joe was like, oh, I always tried to try a different butter this year. And it just never quite hits. But we always just Stick around for Joe Smith. Yeah, Joe.

It wouldn't be a Thanksgiving without Joe. I don't even know how people are friends. I wouldn't call Joe like my. He's more like a friend. Joe is a, Joe, she is an acquaintance. But, you know, she's one sarcastic chick from what I'm understanding. Joe's a guy. Definitely.

Show is everything. Joe is all people. Thousand percent. And that's what we love about Joe. We also love Anthony Donato, who stopped at Donato's pizza on the the way and bought a pasta bowl. He's that guy who goes to every pizza place and he's like, you know, I'm not going to get what you actually are known for.

I'm getting the pasta side dishes you guys have as just like an afterthought. And, you know, thank you for bringing your afterthought to our friends giving. It wouldn't be, you know, a marginally more epic feast without you. So totally agree. Stardust of madness is living up to the madness by taking all their food from the fridge, throwing it in a blender, and then put wrapping that in an aluminum. foam foil and just slopping it down in front of the center of the table for everyone to pick from like a pig just face first so we like to hear matthew arms uh is just going to eat off of his own

arms and invites us to do the same and that's what we love about matthew matthew actually lay across the table like one of the sushi girls and then you know we put all the different plates and all the different dishes in different areas of his body well 100% would he just keeps showing up being like Eat this bitch. Hey, and then we're like, oh, you. Yeah, it is big, so it works. It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without this joke we hear every single year. Every year.

You're part of the tradition. It will lands every time. It gets funny over here. That's right. Kevin Meek, he's the guy who doesn't show up to the party, but instead makes a big deal about going down to the homeless shelter to feed those people instead of eating alongside us where we have way too much food and are probably going to waste a bunch of it. That's very true.

Way to be holier than thou this holiday, Kevin. We like to see it. Knobdip Situ is bringing the most English dish you can think of. Yeah. Spotted Dick. Let's get it. What they're bringing to that. That's right.

Thank you, Navdeep. Appreciate the spotted dick. Zen science is going to say the prayer. Totally. Because we pray. I almost left him off the invitation list. Yeah. Yeah, no, it's okay.

It takes a long time ago. It's invitation. It does. It does. We should invite less people next year. Because, like, you don't even get to fully, like, spend time with everybody. But we will spend time with Zen science being grateful for our blessings as you lead us in a spiritual oratory. Oh, and Joe Anello.

Oh, Joe Jello for a reason. Jellanello. Because he brings the Jello shots. Let's go. He brings the Jello shots to Friendsgiving is complete. No, Friendsgiving is complete. No, no Friendsgiving is. complete heather gear kicks into high gear when she gets those jello shots but she's also brought one of

those martinelli's sparkling ciders for us all to shake up oh that's nice explode open like it's a champagne bottle but you know for for the whole family wow that's crazy because cala the king guess what she brings oh what was calip bringing burger king burger king that's right get a wednesday whopper with the purple bun everyone's always looking at the fancy dishes but when that fast food shows up, they're like, I got to get someone that Burger King. That's right. You do. And Kira is right behind with some Wendy's because we go to every fast food. That's the thing is people cook, people carry out. We do a little bit of everything. And we appreciate Kira for, you know, bringing us some value deals. Maybe she picked up a

crabby paddy. Wow. They did the collab. And we all got to try it and express our thanks for marketing that the creator of SpongeBob didn't want to happen. That's insane, John. That's insane, John. Well, Juan Longoria is bringing baloney. Ooh. Because baloney's spelled, it kind of looks like it would rhyme with Longoria. Yeah. But there's this a letter or two in baloney you're not pronouncing. One, Belongolongol.

It actually doesn't like rhyme in when you're saying it. But when you read it, you're kind of like, does that see Bologna? And then we invited one after that funny. After the funny mix up, yeah. Then we were like, well, you've got to be on the list. And the same thing happened with Cliff Rodriguez. Uh-huh. We were looking at Cliff's name and we're like, your name looks just like,

um, uh, uh, uh, uh, ravioli looks kind of similar to ravioli because it's, you're like two miles away. It's like a, yes, there's an R at the beginning and there's a bunch of other letters after. Yeah, definitely. And Thanksgiving ravioli is a totally great concoction, all right? A little turkey and mash-filled pasta pockets or some spinach for the vegetarians. We love to see it. Well, ogrely ambitious is bringing onions. Oh, just a sack of them.

Because he's an ogre. I like to see that. Ogre. And he's picking his earwax at the table. That's funny because it's gross. Making candles out of it. That's really gross. Lorenzo Baxter brought a dog.

And everyone's like, why are you bringing a dog to Friendsgiving? We're not going to eat that. And then Lorenzo's like, whoa, who said anything about eating this dog? This is just my emotional support dog. You said I could bring it. And then we're like, oh, that's right. Well, differently sane is being so different this year. Too different, honestly.

Because last year, they brought a variety of Doritos. Oh, the fun pack. The fun pack. It was just a big bowl of, you didn't know. And this year, they're bringing chicken breasts. Oh, so many. A lot of chicken breasts. A lot of eight to ten specifically.

Eight to ten. That's good. That's a symmetrical amount of chicken breasts. You cut it and a half. You get 44. Oh, that's good math right there. Thank you for bringing all the chicken. And, hey, Marco Tunstil shows up late and just spills things

everywhere. Gross. Didn't bring anything and now is knocking over the plates and all the dishes and stuff on the floor, all the different serving implements. But it's okay because the floors are so clean you could eat off them yourself. And Marco's the first one to show that that's true. Simply Fated brings James Franco. Oh, good.

It's that friend where you're like, oh, God, do we really want James Franco here right now? That the plus ones. Half the people at the party are like, hey, he's really a tone and he's been going out they're speaking on podcast, really showing he's not the same guy anymore. They're half as like, I don't know, I just don't trust him because he's famous, but the day of the day, it's James Franco, you know, he's favorite, like, you're going to

like, you've got to be thankful for some of that's from about Spider-Man 3 or something, right? Exactly. There's a lot to ask him about it. Thank you for the opportunity. So thank you simply faded for bringing James Frankis. Absolutely. And, hey, S.J. 94 brings 94 jugs of some juice. And, uh, because everyone's got to have

Yeah. Whoever was doing the laying down. And we're eating off them before needs a break. So Melanie can step in and be the dessert. Nothing smells better than a lot of just tuna. Nothing smells better than canned. Especially canned in that watery. Cunk-like chicken of the sea.

There you go. Tuna. This is brought to you by Chicken of the Sea. This whole Friendsgiving is brought to you by. I'm now realizing in hindsight how setting up that joke about you laying nude and then using Tudor might it actually sound. I didn't mean that. That's not.
