Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 It's a Boston Christmas in January as Coy & Greg REUNITE for The Rip Reaction, Recap, Breakdown, Commentary, Analysis & Spoiler Review!! Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau react to The Rip (2025), the upcoming Netflix crime thriller from co-Writer / Director Joe Carnahan (Narc, The Grey, Smokin' Aces, The A-Team) that reunites longtime collaborators Matt Damon & Ben Affleck in a gritty, character-driven story about loyalty, desperation, and the thin line between justice and crime as a group of Miami cops discovers a stash of millions in cash, leading to distrust as outsiders learn about the huge seizure, making them question who to trust & who to rely on. What results is a tense, grounded thriller in the vein of Heat & Affleck's own The Town, focusing on the fallout of a high-stakes criminal operation gone wrong. The film stars Matt Damon (The Bourne Identity, Oppenheimer) and Ben Affleck (Argo, Gone Girl) as central figures caught on opposite sides of a dangerous moral divide, with their characters bound by a shared past, forced into a collision course when a lucrative score begins to unravel. Set against a contemporary urban backdrop, the story explores how greed, pressure, and unfinished business can “rip” relationships apart, testing trust between partners, friends, and family. The supporting cast includes Teyana Taylor (One Battle After Another), Scott Adkins (John Wick: Chapter 4, The Expendables 2), Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace, From), Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights, Godzilla vs. Kong), Steven Yeun (Minari, Beef), Sasha Calle (The Flash, On My Block), Néstor Carbonell (The Dark Knight, Lost), & More!

Dude dude You should watch it's pretty good All right That was a That was funny That was funny That was a genuinely funny ass movie My cheeks hurt a little bit

Yeah man Definitely I had a really good time I am I'm glistening So What's less pressure for you You go first or you go after John Who's really good at reviewing stuff

I'll go first Jesus Christ you should go absolute last after we get all the talking points out of the way you gotta come up with some shit to say yeah what do you uh what'd you think man did you uh did you did you find it funny do you think it's outdated should it be canceled and you're gonna ruin the fun for everyone it's not woke enough for you john loquen up almost god oh god no man what you think honestly i mean i'm a fan of seth macfarlane i'm a big fan of like family guys so naturally i found a lot of even the offensive stuff funny i know that we're not supposed to laugh

at that now but whatever you know um love offensive stuff it's what's all about baby um no yeah i i had a ton of fun it was hilarious i mean again it feels like an extended family guy kind of episode but um yeah i there was some existential stuff like he be he be being 35 and like because that's how old we are like there was I mean there was surprisingly enough experience wise as much as I was laughing and have a good in time with you guys there was this reflective moment of like oh am I a loser not not to be like so self-deficating but like yeah yeah but otherwise milakunis was like the best girlfriend ever and like still stayed with him like I there's a lot of things to unpack

there otherwise good movie she is like the the idealized right oh like she's like a dream person concocted in a lab yeah like I have this movie in particular to suspend my disbelief about all facets of the movie I really had to digest that like I was like oh my okay It seems like that she likes that you're a man-child. She just wants you have a better job and a slightly better grip on, you know, you like your nuts and bolts of just getting by in society, but otherwise, like, you know, be as crass and immature as you want.

Exactly. It seemed like you thought it was hilarious, though. Yeah. Yeah. As long as you find it a comedy, hilarious or funny, that's all that really counts at the end of the day. Of course, of course. It's a good point about the reflective side, though.

Yeah. I think this is a lot of things. There's a time where if you're in your mid-30s and dealing with this, it's like, come on, man, you're in your 30s. And now I feel like there's a lot of people in their mid-30s who deal with a lot of this kind of stuff. Definitely. You know?

At age where you're like, I should be a lot more of an adult by now, and I'm not. So I understand that feeling pretty well. And you have a best friend? Do you kick it with a lot? I do. I've known him since kindergarten. Really?

Yeah. I think you've met him. He was up my birthday party. But, oh, and Humphreys knows him from C-Sons. his name is Pejmon Oh yeah, yeah, no way Yeah, so I've known him since I was Yeah, Pej and I were in film classes together

There you go, yeah, yeah What she look like? I don't want to, I don't know That's his race By race Persian I know what you're talking about Yeah

You put me in a corner, fool It's just a joke I don't remember Nobody puts LJ in a corner I talk to like two people at your birthday birthday Oh my god But yeah no

Yeah I mean don't get me wrong Again A hell of a fun time Of a good movie But like I didn't expect to be so Reflective and Like really introspective

About like my age It's got a lot of heart Oh definitely Yeah It's surprised by how I thought the heart was gonna be like a Like a punch line Or a cynicism to it

And I was like surprised By how sincere it was plate. For real. Yeah. You know, and then, because the movie's not even like as edgy and offensive as the comedy is. I wouldn't call it like a cynical type of comedy.

Weirdly enough, right? I was, I was really surprised by that. I thought it would be more in that vein with a bit of a black humor to it. But no, it was actually like really sweet. And I was genuinely taken aback by like, I'm getting kind of, I'm getting pretty emotional. I was by myself at home. I'd probably let myself cry.

but I don't want to cry on camera over the movie, Ted? That's not what I... We need that for the thumbnail. Come on. People want to see you cry. I'm sorry. This is a lightful, raunchy comedy.

I'm about to cry right now. It's fucking odd. But yeah, well, John Wood, Humphrey, Big John. B.J. I enjoy the movie. One, two. BJ and L.J.

Okay. B.J. It makes perfect sense. You cannot blame me for. your mind being in the gutter. You blame Seth McFarland. Oh, there you go. This is very fun.

This is very fun. You know, it's a comedy, so some jokes age better than other jokes. But generally, yeah, like, its heart is in a nice place. And I do, you know, I would agree. It's like the thing that makes this nice is the fact that it does have an earnest sense of heart. It catches you a little by surprise with the fact that it has some sense of heart that actually cares to incorporate.

You know, it's on an afterthought. And as much as we are laughing about Milakunis being like, lab engineered human, you know, in terms of just like what she's willing to put up with and where the lines are,

she sells it really well. And like what the point of the movie is. Yeah, like there, I feel like during this time we had a lot of that man child character comedy. And this takes that and definitely does that and brings all the,

the Seth MacFarlane isms to that. But it tells like an actual coming of age story a little bit. And, you know, it seems to care about the through line of this guy, you know, growing up a little bit. And then it becomes a horror movie for a little bit for a little bit. For a kidnapping manhunt movie for a little while. That's fun. You know, everybody showed up to this.

So, yeah, it's a little unwieldy. And I could tell that this was the unrated cut, but I still had a lot of fun. Yeah, I felt like just a few minutes too long. me i had a great time i was like i was pulled in it's kind of the movie that i feel like i i needed right now just to escape from my own brain honestly no yeah like i i don't mind um it's like it's so obviously like meant to be so absurd even like the racist jokes and whatever that i'm not like bothered at all by there's like so yeah it's like humor here do the only times when i get a little bit like even though it was honest hilarious what it was like the stuff with the it's always something

with a kid. I'm like, oh, they're making a lot of, like, fat jokes about the kid. And I know that guy's

probably, the kids are an adult now. Well, they're making jokes about the kid and Giovanni Rubisi, like, being together.

Well, but it's mainly like the kid, then the fat jokes and he's like a really overweight kid. And I'm like, does this kid? I know he's not that world. I could have just like inserted improv these jokes. Yeah.

I wonder that too. Is he like aware? These are the kind of jokes he was going to get her. Like, walk in and just suddenly like, oh my god, these are, they're making like really mean

jokes about me, you know? That was the only time when I was, but at the same time, they were, they were really funny. Yeah.

Yeah. That crossroads. Hey, they signed up for it. It's just kind of been a thing throughout. I mean, I watched Goonnie for the first time last year. And then they had a whole kid

there named Lard, you know. Not Lard. Chunk. I call it Lard. I internalize it as Lard. They had market tested it on you. it would be lard

but you know same idea same concept it's a bit it makes you think they're right I call him lard and it's the movie so it's a net neutral at best

I'm the best kind of social justice warrior you are stand up for it while also participating yeah and Mark Wahlberg was so good in it too I like Mark

Mark Wahlberg in the other guys and Daddy's home He's so funny But the difference there That I thought was so odd Is I feel like he's so aware He's still in a comedy in those movies Even though he's so good in those films

And he's really really funny He He actually feels like a person in this And not Mark Wahlberg playing like a funny version against the type they expect him to play and like in daddy's home

he's like a tough guy and then and the other guys he's like he's like doing around he is so good in those movies and it's really funny but here I buy him as that like middle age guy who's a slacker and he has a best friend

as a like his interactions with him feel so real and I was very surprised by like wow Mark Paul Brou's actually really good in this film and he's very believable as this guy. character. That's a smart part about the casting because he has a boyish thing about him and like

and the way he talks, you know? Yeah. So like there's something about that that suits a big old child man really well. Right. And it helps you see past his buffness. Yeah. Because we were saying that growing like, this is the fittest slacker man. Yeah. Yeah. Like his vibe sells it. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I was really, really, really surprised by that. Did you have a favorite bit in the movie? Um, good question. Uh, I can't think of the top of my head. A lot of the offensive jokes, to be honest, like, as much as it's offensive. It's more offensive, the better.

Was there a moment, you don't apologize for laughing at offensive stuff. We're edgy here. What did? What is there, is there a joke in here that you were like, that was probably the hardest one you laughed at? Oh, man, I need to really think about it. Um, yeah, it's like, I remember. gut busting a couple times and I'm trying to remember what it was about. This movie,

because the thing is this movie is so dense with jokes and stuff. Like there's so much flying at you and there's so many quips and cutaways and stuff. And because this is again, 10 minutes more jokes. Yeah, yeah. But I also thought most of it was funny. No,

I did too. I'm not even complaining. It's like an embarrassment of riches. It wasn't like irritating, you know? Yeah, yeah, that's true.

That was the one part where we put on unrated. I was like, uh, But like honestly, nine times out of 10, when I watch an unrated version of a comedy, I think they're bad. I don't usually. Generally, I don't like the unrated versions of comedies. I think they, like, go on way too long. Yeah.

And they're, like, overly self-indulgent. And a big part of what makes a comedy work is the overall pace of a film. And surprisingly, this movie's, I thought it was, like, really well-paced. Even if there were a couple of moments that, like, went on a little too long. I was this part of the unrated? It never actually ruined, like, the next scene or something. then like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, there was extended jokes for sure that like just like they they sat in it for a little bit, but otherwise didn't like it didn't bother the flow of the

story. Do you relate with the Joel McHale character? Oh, good Lord. Definitely. There's a lot of when I was watching. I was like that was that was that was the most off-putting thing I've seen a long time. That moment was I wonder honestly if that was in the theatrical cut because that Seems like I could cross a line into unpleasantness Yeah, a little extended. Yeah. Did you like the fart joke?

I could, I could say that far joke. I normally don't like fart jokes. Yeah, no, but the fart joke with Temek is. It was so unexpected, but also like, honestly very relatable. Real? Yeah. It's like waiting for a private moment.

It was surprising. That was like, that was one of the funnier fart jokes. Yeah. Yeah. Because it's saying something about. the character even skill you know what you think he's gonna say something like a absurd he's like thank god

for finally or whatever yeah I could see that being a cut out moment because all the later scenes when he's like look I know I'm gonna out like none of that plays as possibly believable when you have that moment earlier when he sniffs the chair yeah yeah yeah but I don't know man

that was a thought of It's a great comedy, but not a lot of hard and surprising, well done. And I appreciate, and, like, I like the actual, like the visual of it with the color symmetry, like there's white and green palette. I thought it was really good. I know we got some cues because what the Royals are going to be a part of. Let's do it. Fellow reject, 2026 feels different.

Do you want to read the first one? Sure. This movie really rich. Part of the rules. You got shout out their name. Oh, my bad, my bad. Yeah. My bad.

Rookie mistake. From Jaden Rhodes. This movie really only works if you like family guy humor, which I love that kind of humor. My really only issue is I think the movie runs five to ten minutes long. Too long. You mentioned that. I'm curious if y'all agree and y'all plan to watch the show. I don't know if the show is the show liked?

Yeah. Really? I remember the first season that people were like, show get viewed. This is surprising. Who people still be watching. I feel like people were surprisingly enthusiastic when the first season's out. Is it like strictly on Peacock?

Is that what happened? Like when he's a teenager? I mean, I did it air on TV. There's no way if it's like an R-rated show that it could air on like NBC. No, yeah. What other channels does Peacock own? I don't know. Comedy Central.

Are they a universal NBC? I don't know. It's got to be like a, I don't know. No plans right now. just the first two movies at least but no pads right now you don't have a question except that we agree

yeah we kind of I mean we watched the five to ten minute long yeah exactly for our standards this is 20 to 15 minutes too long I suppose it is five to ten minutes too long

I mean I think I can see you know there's a version of this being a tight 90 where I think that's maybe advisable but not even the actual is 90 Yeah, theatrical's an hour and 40, which is not too bad. I mean, honestly, you know, I wouldn't argue that you couldn't.

I'm guessing that even the theatrical cut out of shit you could cut out. But yeah, I wasn't like annoyed by, like, there was a moment where I was like, okay, I can feel how long we've been here. But then I was laughing again and I didn't really care. Yeah, that's Seth McFord. Yeah, I know what. And to your point, we know what we're getting into with that. Yeah, all right. BJ.

All right. Read the other one. Brandy Davis, thank you for chiming in. Hey, guys. John stupidly, this is the suspense part where we find out

if this is about us or the John in the movie. John stupidly risked everything to party with Sam Jones. All right, who would be the celebrity that you would risk it all to party with? My pick would be you guys, of course.

Oh, and Clint Eastwood. Thank you. Us and Clinicewood together. Interesting. Who we part? partying with gang. Yeah, I want to party with 95-year-old coach.

Watch him die. He's out here. Watch him talk. I don't think you should do that. I mean, in reality, I don't think I would want to party with any of them. If there's a, I think the real, I think the heart of your question,

I am going to totally like strip all fun away from your question. I think the heart of your question is, which celebrity would you drop everything to meet, like drop everything with to meet. And I'm like, well, if I'm at a party, I'm probably going to be really quiet as a matter of party and everyone's going to want their attention. And I'm not going to feel like I'm trying too hard to be funny or something like that. It's like, yeah, would I drop everything of like Conan O'Brien's here? Like, yes, I would, but I'd also

be like highly into me. I'm like, this is probably not the environment. I don't want to be Conan in on it. So, but if I had to have a pick to participate in the question, it would be, it would be Conan O'Brien. I would say Conan O'Brien for sure. Do you have one, L.J.? I don't have an answer. I mean, because the context of the movie is that he basically... We don't know how to just answer your question.

Yeah. We can play Twitch on our own. I'm sorry. We're imagining a party that we don't want to go to. Yeah. And he leaves the significant other. That's the tough of it. He's playing it in this realm. Which celebrity would you really

want to read? That's a good question. I can't Damn it This is great No I'm blanking here Go to Humphreys Ah shoot This is the complete

You can't name one famous first This is the complete inverse Of how it would normally be I just have a straight answer for you It's either Keanu Reeves Jack Black or Nicholas Cage What's the next question? Cool Okay

I would be happy to party with all those dudes He's doing exactly what we're doing right now, which is like, let's really overthink the context of this question. I'm not leaving anybody important. It's just a fun, good-sized party where ostensibly we will have a good time together.

Keanu Reeves, Jack Blacker, Nicholas Cage. Michael Jordan? Or Ted Danson? He seemed fun. Nice. You drop everything to meet Michael Jordan? Were you a big Chicago Bulls fan? No, I mean, I wear his shoes. I just want to thank him for the shoes.

I'm blanking with anyone who's... My favorite cobbler, Michael Jordan. Dude, man, those shoes you made personally crafted. Did it just slap your name on this? The fact that you hand make every pair and then produced them on the mass level that you did. How do you come up with so many unique designs?

This is incredible, man. Oh, you didn't? Oh, the fact that you pointed it and said those... Oh, my God. The fact that you signed a contract so that a bunch of other people could make decisions and you get paid for them and use my name oh my god brilliant my silhouette i love you michael jorke oh my god i don't know jack about your basketball career all right well if you think of one you let us know okay

nick at night great name uh hey rioly jacks what would you guys want as a living stuffed animal i love how there's like no serious questions that's brilliant works for this movie It's the one time I'm like totally okay with it Who would you guys want as a living stuffed animal to hang out with and why? Oh, that's scary You know, I had an old Mosquito stuffed animal who was my dude back in the day and I think I think he would be cool

I think it would be cool one I would like my old Skeeto to come to life Interesting. Yeah, an insect I want my Indian in the cupboard to come to life Hey yeah that way I could bring everything to life Oh, you just get the cupboard. The actual cover. Then you have infinite.

I got infinite stuffed animals. Yeah. Then you got, yeah, you got Thunderbodies galore. Yeah. You can make anyone a Thunderbody. You can charge. That's kind of a messed up title. That's offensive.

I take my standard instead. What do you need? The indigenous person. The First Nations person in the cupboard. We fixed it. We did it. I legit don't remember what happens in that movie. Outside of one time he cuts the boy's hand, her finger.

Yes. And like someone dies at some point. Yeah, yeah. What? It gets really sad at that moment. Yeah. I don't know. I can't tell you what.

Yeah, I want a little guys. Yeah. And they have to, like, bury him. And that brings the car. I don't remember what. I don't know. Indian in the cupboard reaction coming. Over your stuffed animal.

I don't, I didn't have. one growing up, so I, but... Yeah, that I. I'm trying to think of, like, a... You know what you have? Huh. A wide imagination.

Thanks, Jack. No, I'd probably think of something silly and... And, like, simple. Like, uh, you know, uh, uh, uh, Pokemon, like a Pikachu little stuff. Oh, that's actually a great big. Yeah. That'd be actually pretty cool to have a real, like, Pokemon. Yeah.

So, like, have the powers? I would hope so. If Ted can punch... fucking Mark Wahlberg, then yeah, I want my Pikachu to have... You can't put up a fight against you by her piece. I know. Apparently not.

I know. I was like, you could take this guy. Read the next one, little John. Master T says... We got to clap for the editor. Sorry. Read the next one, Little John. Master T says, hello, Greg and John.

I guess it's not me. They're not aware you're in it. I know. No, no. It's a typo. Who wrote John twice. Love watching your reactions. My question is,

for you is who would be your Thunder Buddy be? You go ahead. This is a chew. I know. This is. I go with it. I go with BJ. Yeah.

Aw. Yeah. Buddy. Agree. We're Thunder buddies. My wife would just push me away. Dude, I'm not going for a hug. Dude.

We could weather the thunder together. Yeah. Yeah, I go with you. Yeah. And you're alone now, Joe. Yeah. Welcome to this room. Yeah.

You're not allowed to be. Thunderby with us. It's only two. Third wheel. You only get to be... Damn right, you are. What happens to? You're a real reject. Everyone that's Greg a John. That's a third wheel. Yeah, so pick another reject to be a Thunderbody.

What about your friend? No, yeah. Well, about Pej. Yeah. I would immediately choose him, but otherwise, whoever the future significant other is. His name is Pej? Yeah, PeeJ. Pej.

Pej, the Persian. Yes. Hesmond. Hesmond is full name. Cool. Sick. Do you, oh,

we picked each other. Yeah, dude. We've been Thunderbodies for real since you're... All right, B.J. L.J. No. BJ. You're up.

B.J. Daniel. Thank you for chiming in. In the opening montage, montage. We see John and Ted having boys night out at the movie theaters. What are? some activities you'd all feel comfortable bringing your quote animal buddy to tag along for could be younger you or adult you strip club definitely adult you my animal buddy you go to the

What if you do a VR? So the ideas you have like a TED. The one that's like a living one. Yeah, that's how I... I feel like both of these work, though. Sure. I mean, the world of Ted, he's just a being that exists and everyone accepts it. It's not like...

Like, I bet. No one's like pointing in the way and like, oh, a teddy beer. Yes, they could have gone to the arcades. We're thinking too much about this. Well, the movie has no rules. No, Seth McFarlane has a Bible. What is appropriate in Ted Lawrence? I need to think in rules.

Okay, so as a young boy, you wished for your some kind of... I would bring my cupboard with my cover. My sentient cupboard. My little Indian friend, I would... Except he's actually from India. I would bring him in the Shockey Sheets. I would bring my stuffed animal to life and then we just go to museums and quietly look at the art. Would you bring Michael Jordan?

That's the celebrity. Whoa. That's going to be my version of a Ted style movie is instead of like a stuffed animal brought to life. It's just like the powers that be bring you Michael Jordan. And now Michael Jordan's just like, we live together and I'm your best friend. Oh my gosh. Well, that was a really fun movie. Thank you guys for asking these questions. thank you guys for being here.

It's about how he met that guy's mother. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's the gist of the title, right? It took eight seasons to tell that story. It did, and everyone loved how it turned out of it. Everyone loved how the anyway. I had no confidence. It was worth it.

We ask them on how she does it with Karen Feinerman. You'll get insights from leaders like today's Jenna Bush Hager. There's a lot I say no to. And I think it's a really important word for women to use. Rachel Weber of Paris Hilton's 1111 media. I'm going to be a much better leader. I'm going to bring more creativity if I have other things filling my life. And more.
