Starting point is 00:00:00 FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London. One woman has a secret, the other a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost. FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+. This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates. We're back for Caravan of Garbage. Last week we looked at something Judge Dreadful. James is going to turn it around in the next sentence. He's got a pun play on words for dread that means good, right?
Starting point is 00:00:41 Yeah, I do. Here we go. This week we're looking at a better movie. Leave a like. Leave a like. We're, of course, talking about Dread 2012 or Dread 3D, as it was known when it came out. Was it? That mustn't have helped.
Starting point is 00:00:57 It was on all the posters. It's in a lot of the official titling. Huh. Yeah. Was it in 3D? Should I have gotten a better movie-going experience by watching it in 3D? The idea that it was in 3D is not what killed it. It's that it's an R-rated have gotten a better movie going experience by watching it the idea
Starting point is 00:01:05 that it was in 3d is not what it killed what killed it it's that it's an r-rated action movie based on a comic book premise that nobody yeah has any idea about marketed weirdly yeah people like bad faith from the last one people thought it was a sequel the last one yeah i knew about it at all and this was like i mean the avengers had just come out i think yeah so it was still a comic book movie stigma attached of like comic book. I don't know. I think Avengers was a fluke.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Yeah, right. Okay. I mean, off the back of, you know, the Dark Knight trilogy and the Avengers, like a property like this, like lesser known-ish, it is a risk. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:38 I feel like if this had have come out now, it probably would have made more than the $41 million it did make off its $45 million budget. Oh, dear. Tragic. Yeah. I figured out why this movie is so good, though.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Okay, I'm ready. It has a screenplay by Alex Garland. And you might be like, Alex Garland from Ex Machina and Annihilation and the guy who wrote Sunshine? And I say, yes, the very same. That's right. And apparently, Carl Urban has mentioned, he's the one who actually directed this movie. Like, the actual director-director,
Starting point is 00:02:07 you know, he was involved to some extent, but this is really considered Alex Garland's first directorial effort. That's very interesting. And that makes a lot... Is that scandalous? I guess. How does a writer-director film?
Starting point is 00:02:19 Are they like, more description? Say more description. These words, say these words the way I've written them. Or maybe put your own spin on it. That's directing, right? I'm not a director. I am the director. No, you're not the director anymore.
Starting point is 00:02:33 I'm the director. I'm Alex Garland. I'm the director. So I think that's why this works so well, in all honesty. What else is fascinating about this is it's a bottle episode. You know what I mean? It really is, yeah. It's not end of the world, stakes are high.
Starting point is 00:02:46 It's like drugs and we'll just stop these drugs. Is that to cut costs? Yes. Yeah, right. There's a lot of cost-cutting things associated with this. The question here is does this really feel like Dread, Judge Dread, like the comic book Judge Dread? And I guess the second question is does this need to be a Judge Dread movie?
Starting point is 00:03:06 Well, yeah. Dread and I guess the second question is does this need to be a Judge Dread movie well yeah and look aesthetically it doesn't really feel that much like Judge Dread no like it's certainly been pared down it's not like you know weird Gianni Versace glam of the last movie big heels big boots right a big codpiece yes it's not the you know super outlandish mega cities of you know just the comics and that one street they built in that last slide. Yes, exactly. The mayhem and madness and everybody is some sort of bizarre neon clown on the street. It's more like an exaggeration of just modern day.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Yes. The modern day slums of the world, except expanded out to cover 800 million people. Yes, exactly. And I think it might be the downfall of this movie a little bit, I guess, but at the same time, I really liked that aesthetic because they filmed in like Johannesburg and Cape Town. They filmed a bunch of like regular streets because it was apparently very grid-like,
Starting point is 00:03:55 the areas they filmed in. And then they throw in the big towers with CGI, a few highways and some cars and here and there, but it's all very much real locations. And I think that, you know, that really speaks to the look of this movie but beyond that if you look at judge dread himself they built him like a riot cop yes you know and intentionally you know if you look at he doesn't have like the crazy shoulder pads you know what i mean the big the big gold chain and the eagle and all that i mean there's an eagle but it a... Yeah. But even like the badge is probably the most outlandish thing on it, I guess. But to answer the other question, could you make this movie without Judge Dredd?
Starting point is 00:04:34 You could. But no one would see it more or less. Or less? I don't know. But that's the thing. Like, I think this is a more subtle take on Dredd. Yeah. A great example would be how each particular actor says or screams,
Starting point is 00:04:50 I am the law. Yeah, sure. But this particular Judge Dredd, he more encompasses the spirit of Judge Dredd, I think. Yeah. Because in this, he's less of a man and he's more of a vibe. Yeah. You know what I mean? When we first see him, like we just see him
Starting point is 00:05:05 from like a distance and like we often see him from like, from the perspective of his hand drawing his gun out of his holster. There's a lot of shots of him.
Starting point is 00:05:13 It's just his mouth. You know what I'm saying? Like it's just... I mean, if you can't focus on the eyes, what else you got? Exactly right, yeah. We get two perspectives
Starting point is 00:05:20 in this movie. We get rookie Judge Anderson who at one point we see look out into the the mega city from the peach tree tower block they've just come out of a firefight and you know she's she's she's wrecked and ruined by this and she looks out in the cities and she realizes that everything is like that the whole city is like this and the whole city is this awful nightmare
Starting point is 00:05:39 yeah but for judge dread from his perspective this is literally just any other day yeah If you watch from the perspective of like, he does this every single day. Like every move he makes is just like, yeah, I'm going to do this tomorrow. And I'm totally fine with that. Like, you know, at the point where the tower is like locked down and, you know, dangerous gangs are out to destroy them. He's still like, okay, Anderson, you're the rookie. Make a play. Yeah, that's right. This is still a training exercise. He's still like okay anderson you're the rookie make a play yeah that's right exactly this isn't this is still a training exercise he's still in it yeah yeah there's never a moment of
Starting point is 00:06:10 panic there's never really a moment of compromise but i guess there is kind of more towards the end but what i think also uh distinguishes him from the stallone dread is he's not the worst person he's not the worst he's fair like he'll stun a kid even if the kid is going to shoot him. Yeah. There's a little bit of leeway in him. You know what I mean? There's a...
Starting point is 00:06:29 He's fair and it feels earned, like his fairness. Well, exactly. And that's hard to do even if you're not aware of the character of Judge Dredd. But in the first one,
Starting point is 00:06:36 in the 1995 version... The very first incarnation ever, we should point out. Exactly, that's right, yes. That version... And it's hard to do because, again, Judge Dredd is supposed to be an iconic character
Starting point is 00:06:46 and also a caricature, so how do you play that? And Stallone went with just an unbelievably unlikable character who will not bend for any extenuating circumstances whatsoever, and when that character falls afoul of the justice system, you don't care. And he can't comprehend it either because he's like, what do you mean? Everything's black and white, and this guy's like this gray area this exactly that right as they
Starting point is 00:07:09 approach the peach trees like there's a like a homeless guy and he's like move along yeah he could have given him you know weeks in the iso cubes kind of thing but also that moment really speaks to the character because when he comes back even though he's got a million better things to do he's like i told you you're coming in right you know what i mean he's just he's got a million better things to do. He's like, I told you, you're coming in. You know what I mean? He's that kind of guy. He's like, I'm fair, but fuck you. That's the kind of attitude I get from this guy. I've got a question about him though.
Starting point is 00:07:34 I don't think he's famous the way that the comic book version or the Stallone one is. I think he's famous among other cops, but most of the other people in the real world, they just think he's another judge. I think that's famous among other cops, but most of the other people in the real world, they just think he's another judge. I think that's true as well. And I think it's never, I don't think, outwardly stated, but I think this is meant to be quite early on in the career of Judge Dredd
Starting point is 00:07:54 because, again, in this movie, Judge Anderson is like the first judge cadet who exhibits any kind of psychic powers. But in the comic books the side judges are quite commonplace like there's a whole division of them to uh to you know use their powers to fight crime whereas she seems to be the first so i think you're right i think this is meant to be early days and yeah he's he isn't a legend amongst the world he's just known amongst other cops as kind of being a bit of a prick yeah yeah and you're like and you get that
Starting point is 00:08:23 sense for when he comes up against some crooked judges but there's never bad guys that are like oh shit it's dread you know they're just like it's just another cop we gotta exactly we we the audience learned to respect him because of his actions not because of like a legendary aura that's been dropped on us by the director yeah exactly so i wanted to also talk about how there's future stuff in this, but not really. And I wonder whether it's because we're now in 2020 and this came out in 2012, but it's like facial recognition, drones, like smart guns and shit like that. There's bits and pieces. You're like, that's futuristic-esque.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Oh, yeah, yeah. But there's nothing here that's like, wow, the future. I'm trying to think back to 2012. I know there were like the start of drones and there was facial recognition. But is there anything here that really feels like, whoa? Implied cannibalism? I think so. Is that a futuristic thing?
Starting point is 00:09:15 I guess it is. It's a timeless thing, James. Okay, yeah. Depending on the economy, right? I mean, they never outright say it, but there there is a mass shooting quite earlier in the movie, a vehicle is sent out to take the bodies in for re-psych. Right, yeah. And it's never really implied what it's for, but what else would it be for? Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:09:38 As far as I'm concerned. As far as I'm also concerned. Think about this movie as well. It's grim and it's bloody and it's awful. Oh, and also people seem to be quite all right with it. Like people, like it's a world that, again, 30 minutes after this mass shooting, people are like, well, open them all again.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Open them all again, yeah, right? Exactly, yeah. I think about this movie as well. It's like it's grim and it's bloody and it's awful, but it's also, it's a beautiful looking movie. It really is, yeah. I mean, outside of the slow mo stuff but also the slow mo stuff they filmed that at something like 4 000 frames per second
Starting point is 00:10:10 don't quote me on that it's probably a different amount of frameage but even the one frame per second james you were way off but even you know watching somebody get shot through the face yeah it's it's balletic and it's beautiful and it's colorful and it's vibrant. And a lot of that was done practically where they'd shoot someone with like an air cannon and get the ripples of their body. FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London. One woman has a secret, the other a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost.
Starting point is 00:10:53 FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+. Oh, wow. And then they'd add like the CGI blood splatter or that they'd film in front of a green screen. And I think it really makes you go, this isn't so much... It's bloody, but it's not turn-away, wincing. Yeah, right. You can see bones breaking through arms,
Starting point is 00:11:17 bones piercing skin and stuff like that. You say that, but several men are skinned alive. Yeah, I mean, there are exceptions. In real time, though, yes. But, you know, do you know what I mean? Absolutely, yeah. Even the death of Ma at the end when she hits the ground, you don't really see her, like, face, like, split apart.
Starting point is 00:11:33 It's just this, like, this beautiful display of, like, blood. You want to talk about Mama? I do, yeah. Lena Headey, who's normally, like, what I like about this is she's committed to being, like, a femme fatale, but not in that classic way of beautiful, but with the deep, dark secrets. And she's using her feminine ways.
Starting point is 00:11:53 To reach the top of the food chain. No, she's just... She's killing people all the way up. Chopping people to bits to reach the top of the food chain. Yeah, like she's committed to the scars and the hair and the teeth. Yeah, exactly. The dirt. And I'd imagine that's something if she wanted to, she could fix.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Yeah. But it's like, no, this is very much who I am. And we don't get a huge amount of screen time with the character, but we do get enough of her origin to be like, oh, I get how she ended up here kind of thing. Oh, she dug out Domhnall Gleeson's eyes. That's not cool, you say? Not cool at all, but I understand.
Starting point is 00:12:24 She's had it pretty rough. I think also the reason that you were like, was this in 3D or whatever? Is because it's not filmed in the way that a terrible 3D movie is filmed. Sure. You know what I mean? They used all the riggings and all that kind of thing
Starting point is 00:12:38 so they don't have to post-convert it. But there's nothing like, look out, Dredd, there's a bullet flying towards you and the audience as well. Look out. Anderson, the only way you're going to be able to defeat these guys is with a ping pong paddle with a ball and string on it. Tap-a-da-tap-a-da-tap-a-da-tap. Yeah, so I think it was probably a waste of time.
Starting point is 00:12:57 And I didn't see this in the cinemas because I was teaching up north at the time. Did you see this in the cinemas? No, I was against movies at the time. Wow. What were you doing? Books. Yeah, books yeah books yeah books but i don't know i feel like if there was a sequel to this which we will talk about you kind of need to go mutants and more telekinesis and weirder weapons and well i guess you know we we can build up to that again if this is early days and and radiation
Starting point is 00:13:23 is just causing some psychic abilities in some people, but as the dialogue maybe suggests, most people are getting horrible mutations. We will see that later on, but yeah. Going out to the wasteland and all those things. There's something that I know people want to know about you and what you think.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Oh, Mesa's Minigun Minute? Correct. We do it every week. That's right. We do it everything from Aladdin to Zool week. That's right. We do it everything from Aladdin to Zoolander. That's right. That's my ABC. Those terrible miniguns in those movies, in the sense that neither of them had miniguns at all. You've got stipulation for miniguns, though.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Do you want to lay them out? Okay, well, the minigun, traditionally, it has to be... Are they mini at all? They're not mini at all. It's a miniature version of the kind they hang on fighter planes. That's why it's called a minigun. It's kind of a joke. But they're not meant to be manned portable,
Starting point is 00:14:10 but in a lot of instances they are. Like the classic one, Terminator 2 Judgment Day. Correct. Here's the thing. You have to have six barrels. Heavy machine gun, that's not a minigun. Eight barrels, it's not even a real thing. Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:14:21 Whatever movie that is in, what are you... Stop. And three, it has to be a real one. real thing are you kidding me whatever the movie that is in you what do you stop and and and three it has to be a real one yeah these ones i think fall down a little bit because they look like they're cgi but yes i mean they are yes but they are cutting through people oh my god the action is spectacular it fits we haven't really even covered that i mean we're talking about the slow mo stuff but the action in this movie aspect that seemed particularly just just incredibly brutal and speaking of mama just the idea of like she'll just cut through a level of people she
Starting point is 00:14:48 doesn't care no exactly you can see the kill one guy yeah you can see the glint of the muzzle flash in her eyes at one point and i'm like she's loving it she's absolutely loving it yeah see i i would give it a pass if it was james's minigun minute it's not i just want to clarify that with everybody because it is this hyper violentviolent, stylized world. So I would have thought that maybe you would give it the same, but he... No, it should have been real miniguns and Carl Urban should have been willing to cop at least three or four slugs. Sure. In order for this to get my seal of approval.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Well, speaking of, Dredd does get shot in this. And I got the sense through this movie that him and his comrade, they could die. You know? Right. He's not just like running through when he's fine and like, you know, he shoots over his shoulder and like four guys fall down. Though that probably does happen in this movie. You feel like, Dredd, you need to be careful because there's a lot of danger going on here. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:15:36 Yeah. He feels like he could die at any minute and then that's just the end of the movie, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. But they also, again, like you were saying, there's no shooting over the shoulder, but they sort of behave like real cops. There's a scene right at the end where it's him and Anderson working their way up to Mama.
Starting point is 00:15:52 They're working together. They're clearing the rooms together. It looks incredible. It does look good. And there's a couple of great action sequences early on. We get the slow-mo one, but we also get a sequence where they're fighting through the Stum gas cloud.
Starting point is 00:16:03 It's all green and neon. And there's another one where they fight through a flashbang explosion. And that gas, I don't know whether it is, but it looks real. Because often when you see gas in a movie, say like Batman v Superman, you can see that it's not quite...
Starting point is 00:16:15 I mean, maybe it isn't real, I don't know. But I got the sense that it was. If you worked on the movie Dread, if you're the gas man, please write in, let us know. What I also thought was really incredible about the way they made this movie there's a sparing use of cgi shots you know when they're going like up the the center of the complex like they obviously didn't build that whole thing they built one corner of one level and then they just redressed it so they
Starting point is 00:16:39 didn't even do the whole side so every time they did it you know they swap everything around and do it from a you know it sounds like they did take something out of 1995's Judge Dredd. Just that one street, they kept moving around. Yeah, but you didn't get the sense that... No, no. I thought they built them all, Mason, is what I'm saying. What a huge waste of money. Now, before I do trivia, three-treatment trivia, which we do every week,
Starting point is 00:17:01 have you got any more things to add? It's a grand old time. Like, it's tough. I was going to say it's tough to be funny about this movie. It's tough to be funny at the best of times, James. You know us. Yeah, sure. When a movie is just straight up enjoyable and there's no glaring production errors,
Starting point is 00:17:18 it's hard to make fun of it. But you know what? Not all of this is jokes, all right? Not all of it is jokes. I'll also say that this came out around the same time as The Raid, and there was a lot of people saying that this borrowed from The Raid, you know, because it's about storming up a building and whatever and crime lords and et ceteras.
Starting point is 00:17:35 It just doesn't line up timeline-wise. You know what I mean? They're two kind of independent ideas which kind of developed independently. No, I think this studio was like the raid, huh? Well, quick, get a C-list superhero comic book license. Get a quick, build a building. What have we got? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Anyway, so Alex Garland actually wrote three treatments, because this is three treatment trivia. We do this every week. We do it from every movie from Aladdin 2 to Zoolander 2. So these are some of the ideas he came up with. One was the Dark Judge's treatment, which features an encounter between Dredd and the rival judge by the name of Judge Death.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Yes. What's he all about? Death. Probably his skull. He's got a skulled face sometimes. Yeah, he's got a pretty scully face, yeah. Cool, good on him. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:19 The second treatment is related to the Dredd and Cursed Earth storyline. Oh, yeah. Which I think, did we talk about that last week? Maybe a little bit. Yeah, or maybe we didn't. You don't have to go outread and Cursed Earth storyline. Oh, yeah. Which I think, did we talk about that last week? Maybe a little bit. Yeah, or maybe we didn't. You don't have to go out of the Cursed Earth, right? It's an option. It's an option.
Starting point is 00:18:30 You don't have to take it. Okay, fair enough. And the third one was an adaptation of the pro-democracy terrorist attacking the judges storyline. So there you go. But they went, all of these are too difficult to kind of get in scope-wise and budgetary, so let's keep this bottle episode. Let's get dread getting some asthma inhalers garland this is primo stuff but how about think of a corridor think of a corridor think of think of a regular motorbike if you could yeah yeah carl urban is really on that motorbike didn't take his helmet off the
Starting point is 00:19:00 whole time i should make we should mention that um it totally doesn't detract from this movie no how do you like in some great chin acting i mean when that's all when that's all you're Talmanoff the whole time. We should mention that. It totally doesn't detract from this movie. No. How do you like in some great chin acting? I mean, when that's all you got. What a frowning. You know, like that sad lob fish. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:19:13 Absolutely. Great stuff. Really good. Hard to do, I'd imagine. So there's been talk of like, is this going to get a sequel? What else is going on in this universe? I can offer some updates here because I'd love to see more of this. But whether or not that happens, we'll see, won't we?
Starting point is 00:19:26 There is a prequel motion comic, which you can watch on the YouTube. Here's a clip of it here. What do you think? Ooh, it's just like being there. In this room, watching that. Sure. There's also a sequel comic called Dread Underbelly. I
Starting point is 00:19:41 actually just read that before the start of this. It's very similar. There's a new drug on the street and it's even more dangerous than the previous drug. So I would have liked to have seen it kind of expand out more. It's called Fast Forward. That's right. You take it and then it's like two hours later and you're on your couch.
Starting point is 00:19:57 You're like, what? And you're 40 years older. I missed all my favourite TV shows. And I'm 40 years older. So I did like it it it's a good read and it's a beautiful looking book and it brings in a little bit of kind of the mutant element
Starting point is 00:20:11 because there's a mutant refugee kind of storyline going on with it but part of me was like this is a comic you can do literally anything like you don't want to bring in something else have you read some of the other Judge Dredd comics? of course they do a lot of weird stuff
Starting point is 00:20:22 that makes it it's cool it's really good and the other thing is thered comics. Of course, they do a lot of weird stuff. That being said, it's cool. It's really good. And the other thing is, there's a Mega City One series, which is happening. It's not not happening. They haven't said it's not happening. Oh, great. Terrific. Yeah, so.
Starting point is 00:20:34 But why would they say it's not happening? You know what I mean? I don't know. Carl Urban says he would definitely take the role. Of course he would. Yeah. Carl Urban said, nah, not for me. This critically loved fan favourite.
Starting point is 00:20:48 No, I wouldn't do it again for money and acclaim. Nope. So according to Carl Urban himself, the concept is to build this show around more rookie judges and the new younger judges where Dredd himself would come in and out. So he stated that he would be interested in reprising his role for this show on the condition that Dredd's part be implemented in a meaningful way. Kind of like Limitless, the series probably.
Starting point is 00:21:12 And he could do that from home, you know how? Full green body stocking, except for the mouth. Except for the mouth. And then he films it in his house, like the shower or something. Also, great callback in this movie, right at the start of the movie, he's like, are you ready? And he's like, you don't look ready. And at the end, do you start of the movie, he's like, are you ready? And she's like, you don't look ready. And at the end, do you remember the end?
Starting point is 00:21:27 And he's like, are you ready? And she's like, yes. And he's like, yeah, you look ready. You look great. That was sick. That was sick, wasn't it? That was sick, wasn't it? Right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:35 If you haven't seen Dread, and even if you've watched this, I don't think it's going to detract from it. It's an absolute banger. This is my go-to if I'm editing and I just want something on in the background. Because it's just a beautiful-looking movie. It's a beautiful-looking if I'm editing and I just want something on in the background. Because it's just, it's a beautiful looking movie. It's a beautiful looking movie, great action. You get it. Characters you
Starting point is 00:21:50 can get. Olivia Thilby who played Judge Anderson met her husband on the set. Really? Yeah. So it's worked out for everybody. She should be in more things.
