Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of Caravanagh Garbage, where we're looking at a bunch of classic movies, sorry, where we're looking at a bunch of movies that were meant to be classic movies for Disney, but they became massive classic Disney bombs that bombed really hard. You're really leaning heavily on classic there. You don't like it? If you don't like it, you can go.
Starting point is 00:00:20 Wait, you can't go. Ah, you put the option on the table. Here I go. Mason's twin brother, what are you doing here? I'm here to say he quit forever Are you also quitting? Yes Oh no!
Starting point is 00:00:35 And as far as we know We don't have any more brothers So please leave a like Because we're talking about Sometimes these skits should be like Thematically based I was going to turn that into a clipy-cloppy situation That could have been good, yeah
Starting point is 00:00:47 But we know we've gone with I've got a twin brother Who also doesn't want to work here Please leave a like for the Lone Ranger 2013 It's a classic character you might say Yes I would say that yeah And he's related to another classic character we've talked about before
Starting point is 00:01:02 because he's the grand uncle of the Green Hornet, right? That's right. So in this movie, The Green Hornet is the son of the little kid? Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense, I guess.
Starting point is 00:01:14 But not the little kid in the framing story. No, no, no, no, no, that's a different little kid. Has a completely unnecessary framing story, I think? In like the 30s. In the 30s. We're not around in the 30s. I don't care for this. What's the point of this?
Starting point is 00:01:24 I thought that kid was going to be revealed to be somebody important like Batman. Not that. Nobody was. And Batman, he couldn't be, for legal reasons, he couldn't be Batman. Because it's like, remember the old times? And it's like, this is the old times. Right?
Starting point is 00:01:37 What are you doing? Yeah. Yeah, man. This kid should have been in the 2010s. I agree. You know? It's a dusty one, though. I give this movie that.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Dusty, all right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's also the most pirates-inspired effort so far. Because for years, Disney were trying to find their next pirates of the Caribbean franchise. That's right. And they never did. Yet. Yet.
Starting point is 00:01:56 We're yet to see how Tron Ares goes at the box office. That's right. We're recording this at the beginning of 2024. That's right. And we have a good feeling about Tron Ares starring Jared Leto, alleged pedophile. Famously cancelled guy. Speaking of, just to get this out of the way, this movie stars two cancelled guys. That's right. Now, Johnny Depp is like the patron saint of divorced dads, and he has a bunch of defenders for some reason.
Starting point is 00:02:24 So you can relate to him. We're friends on Twitter. That's not true. it's interesting that like it's not just the whole you know the recent court case there's like a string of other things where he could be like yeah he's awful yeah so here's a list of stuff yep and if you're like well actually i think it was proven that we're talking about another thing whatever thing you have in mind that you think he's innocent of or whatever or you think we're too harsh in him or actually we're jealous
Starting point is 00:02:50 of his success we're talking about another thing i'm friends with him on twitter you haven't even considered this thing we're talking about that's right anyway still get work. Exactly. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. But it's interesting because there's no
Starting point is 00:03:00 Army Hammer Defenders. And I think it's because he didn't get famous enough before he was cancelled. I think that's what's happened here. But does this movie
Starting point is 00:03:08 bringing these two blokes together, these two icons of classic Disney cinema, do you think there's there is enough chemistry to carry this movie?
Starting point is 00:03:18 I think this is a, see, I didn't see this movie at the time. No? Neither of these men were cancelled at the time, right?
Starting point is 00:03:24 And I kind of think, I'm like, okay, Lone Ranger, Don't mind the idea of it. Like a Western from time to time. I just didn't see it. And is it because I'm like,
Starting point is 00:03:33 is Johnny Depp Native American or is he not Native American? Mason, I've got so much information about that. We'll talk about it later. But I didn't see it at the time. But I'll tell you what, I think the chemistry is pretty good. Yeah. And I think there's some very good action sequences in this.
Starting point is 00:03:47 I completely agree. Yeah. Well, this is, of course, is directed by Gore Vibinsky, who did the first three Pirates movies. It's produced by him and also Jerry Bruchheimer, who also produced the Pirates of the Caribbean. movies. Lightning, striking a tree
Starting point is 00:03:59 by a highway. That's right. Jerry Brachimer. It's got a Hans Zimmer score who composed all the Pirates of Caribbean movies except for the first one. It's also got a lot of silliness and swinging about and a big dumb hat. This was also the era
Starting point is 00:04:16 where the Johnny Depp mandate was Big Stupid Hat. Mad Hatter, Willie Wonka, Secret Window. And I guess it's funny that he feeds his little bird. What was his hat instead? Secret window. He had a big, wide-brimmed hat, Mason. Did he?
Starting point is 00:04:30 And he was the murderer the whole time. There's the ending to Secret Window, everybody. Wow. Yeah, you should have got on that. It was in like 2004. It's not my fault. You should have got on that secret window ledge, like us. We're a couple of real ledge heads.
Starting point is 00:04:42 It's true. Legge ends. Yeah. This is all right, this movie. I agree. And I do think it does have a spectacular ending action sequence. Agreed. For real, legit, 100%.
Starting point is 00:04:53 No cap, Mason. Whoa. That's what Johnny Depp said to me. me on Twitter we're friends. But he loves caps. I know, which is so weird. Yeah. Maybe it's a fan account.
Starting point is 00:05:03 But even then, they wouldn't say no cap, would they? I think it's the real Johnny Dap. Anyway, yeah, I would say ending sequence. Look, the two big action sequences are this, they're both train sequences. Yeah. So if you don't like train sequences. I like train sequences. I'll tell you this also, James.
Starting point is 00:05:18 I'll tell you this for real. I'm ready. I reckon maybe one of the reasons that people didn't watch this is because just conceptually kind of hokey. The whole thing. But if you take either of these action sequences, the big train action sequences, the one at the start, one at the end,
Starting point is 00:05:32 and you replace the Lone Ranger and Tonto yawn with... Zorro! Batman and Robin. Or... Zorro! ...Captain American in the Winter Soldier. Zorro.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Stop saying Zorro. You put in two cool guys. Yeah, Zorro and his friend, Little Zorro. Exactly. Robin and the Winter Soldier. Robin and Zorro. Robin and Bucky, but it's like Kid Bucky. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:51 And then you'd like... But you have to tweak the tone a little bit, so it's more like... Less dusty. Less dusty and less dusty and less. less like, what are we doing? Whoa, and more like professionals doing a job. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:00 People are like, these are really cool. You know what I mean? The score helps as well, which I want to talk about. So the story of the Lone Ranger is he's a masked Lawman and he has a noble Native American sidekick. How are you saying that? Lawman. Lawman. Lawman.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Lawman. Lawman. Lawman. Like Lucy Lawman. Okay. How do you say, Lawman? Like Logan Lawman. How do you say Lawman?
Starting point is 00:06:19 Lawman? Lawman. He's a lawman. Yeah, he's a lawman. I'll quit again. I'll do it. Whichever one I am, I'm quitting again. I'll find one of your brothers, one of your other brothers, Mason.
Starting point is 00:06:32 All right. But the original plot was supposed to focus on more supernatural elements and Native American mysticism, and there's a bit of that in here, but it's more kind of vague. It was going to have werewolves. And I think this also makes sense because if you're doing the pirates formula,
Starting point is 00:06:46 there's always a supernatural element to those movies. They're not just pirates, it's pirates and zombies and pirates in a big squid-faced man and whatever. I would be willing to bet a bunch of money there is a Lone Ranger comic book where he fights werewolves because silver bullets, you know what I mean? Well, exactly, exactly.
Starting point is 00:07:02 However, the first draft was going to cost $250 million. The first draft of the script. That's right. That's what they said. And also after John Carter, they were like... Who was it by Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City?
Starting point is 00:07:14 She did earn too much money for what, quite frankly, was a dog shit fucking article. That's what I'm saying. And she was such a weird prude for writing a sex college. She's like, oh, what's kissing? Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:07:24 I don't even love it. like it. What are you doing then? Stay at home. Yeah. Right about bankrupting yourself on shoes. So after John Carter bombed,
Starting point is 00:07:34 they revamped it to meet something that Disney would approve of more, which became the current script. Also, the production was delayed because Cowboys vs. Aliens didn't do well. Oh, no. I'd love to come back to that at some point.
Starting point is 00:07:46 But this does have an insane budget. Here's an example. Army Hammer recalled that the production budget was so extravagant that we're needing to coach Tom Wilkinson on how to flip his pocket watch and chain, the world's best of yo-yo expert was flown in to teach him and continued to be on call during filming.
Starting point is 00:08:02 That's some... What does that happen like twice, maybe? That's some old-school filmmaking, though, isn't it just? Yeah, yeah. Also, don't kiss your dead brother's wife. Just a note that I've got. So, the Lone Ranger, he gets set up at the start. He's a nerd.
Starting point is 00:08:15 He's a lawyer from the city. He is a nerd, isn't he, with his fancy suit and his white collar? Yeah. And his hair cut and his teeth. I don't want to shoot this man. You should shoot him. You should shoot him straight up. Shoot him straight away.
Starting point is 00:08:26 You would have solved all these problems. Your brother would still be alive. You wouldn't have to be the lone ranger. You don't have to hang out with Johnny Depp. He doesn't have to hang out with you. That's good for both of you, really. It's perfect. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:36 You won't have to meet Helena Bonham Carter and she's missing a leg because the bad guy ate her leg. And then you'll be like, hmm, that gives me an idea for real life. It just occurred to me. I did never cross my mind. Just hit me now. Yeah. Do you think that's an army hammer note?
Starting point is 00:08:51 Maybe. It is official. We called it here. Wow. So yeah, so he's... He's presumed dead like his brother and a bunch of other lawmen. I'm just going to go with it. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:09:00 To see you close your eyes like you've got a migraine when I say that. And so he comes back and they, you know, the idea is that Johnny Depp gives him the idea, if people think you're dead, you can be like a vengeful spirit or whatever. Oh, yes. And wear a mask and no one will ever know who you are and whatever. I mean, you look like that guy we know. Yeah. Same hat.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Just got a thin strip of cloth across your eyes. It's also kind of green at points that mask. Did I imagine that? You probably imagined it. Because it's supposed to be black, right? I don't know. I don't think there's any official notes on. Okay, look, I said it's supposed to be black.
Starting point is 00:09:28 I did look into it. It is supposed to be black. I said it nonchalant. Okay. But I did do my research. You've done some research. All right. And the hat, I mean, the hat's iconic, right?
Starting point is 00:09:37 Yeah, it is. The horse is iconic. I'm iconic horse. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the villain is, well, it's two villains. Let's not spoil them both. It's William Fickner. That's great.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Looking grubby and greasy and dry and dirty. Also, the shredder. And he's also, he played the shredder. That's right at one time. Sort of. He was the shredder. He was out of the shredder or he was going to be. But also he's in grown-up movies. He's a grown-up movies. He's also in a certified grown-up movie Michael Clayton.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Oh my God. How are you doing this every week? Everybody's in Michael Clayton. It appears that way, yeah. So there is this idea that there's a cursed pile of silver that Johnny Depp sold out his tribe for when he was younger. So he's now this, he's supposed to have all this ancient mysticism, but he's just a lunatic. But also he might actually be magic. I thought the reveal was going to be that he's just a white guy. That was the reveal because he...
Starting point is 00:10:27 I mean, that was the real life reveal. He's introduced in the movie and we're like, oh, this guy's supposed to be a Native American. And then part of the Comanchee tribe and he's got all this wisdom. And then the lone ranger meets the elders of the Comanche tribe. And they're like, we've got a story for you. He's not a lot of us. And I'm going to be, and I was like, oh, it's going to be a white guy and he got lost in the desert and he went mad.
Starting point is 00:10:49 But no? Johnny, look, here's the thing about Johnny Depp's performance. The whole time, it felt like he was doing the ironic like Robert Danny Jr. Tropic Thunder. Yes. Like ironic but post-ironic, but is it ironic, blackface? And I was, the whole time he was expecting at one point for him to be like, because he's always going like, huh, white people. And I was expecting at some point for an actual Comanche guy to be like, what do you mean white people?
Starting point is 00:11:17 what do you mean white people you know never happens there is a moment where he's playing a Comanche warrior who's also playing a Chinese man yes what does that mean I don't know but it did happen yes anyway he made it all up or he didn't and the magic is real and curse is a real and the Lone Ranger can't really be shot there's that layer we mentioned it before yeah the the layer is we didn't mention this part the bookends of this movie yeah is that it's the 1930s and a little kid is in a sort of a fun fair exhibition. A fun fair exhibition about the Old West and he goes to look at this like a statue or a stuffed man that's a native American but it turns out it's just Tonto who's just there.
Starting point is 00:12:04 He's just standing around. Is this job? It's his job, maybe. And then he tells him this wild tale and occasionally we cut back to the 1930s and the kids like, is that even real? And he's like, yeah, I don't know, maybe. I don't know, maybe. It is.
Starting point is 00:12:16 I guess. I'm necessary, just take it out. Yeah. I don't understand. You don't need it. Also, it implies that, like, he had a really sad life. Like, the back half of it was just him, like, losing his mind and he lost his best friend Army Hammer, which was okay. That's all right, though.
Starting point is 00:12:31 It's all right. Yeah, yeah. Oh, Mason. Yes. It's time for his famous segment. It's Mesa's Minigun Minute. Oh. This minigun is used to kill a bunch of Native Americans in a real throwaway moment, but later it gets whipped around and then it shoots through all the white men where they're sitting and they're all.
Starting point is 00:12:46 all fine. Gave some real Keanu Reeves on the helicopter in the Matrix because it's just whipping through a train.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Rat-tat-tat-tat-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tas. It's not a minigun that was it? No, it's a... Gatling gun? Gatling gun. Which is the gun that John Gatling
Starting point is 00:13:00 invented to end all wars. Great job, buddy. You've done it again. Zero out of ten, John Gatling. And that's for Jonah Hex as well. I think we already did that one
Starting point is 00:13:09 but also there's... William Fickner has that Jonah Hex vibe, doesn't he? He does. He's got the little lip thing, yeah. I don't know about this Also, I don't think a cleft palate
Starting point is 00:13:18 inherently makes you evil Well, I don't know At mine I'm just saying Looking at this movie A movie we like I mean if this This is the only movie you've seen
Starting point is 00:13:27 I guess you could But it's not a cleft ballot Because he doesn't have it in the flashback sequences Oh, that's a good point So it's a scar I think It's a man cleft palette Exactly It's a pallet cleft by man
Starting point is 00:13:38 Correct Also his brother Tom Wilkinson is the villain Shock of all shocks Who knew everybody obviously I've seen Michael Clayton Yeah, we've seen it They've been doing silver stuff together For decades now
Starting point is 00:13:48 And hi-ho silver and whatever That horse The horse is fun Good horse Crazy horse stuff in general Okay so it has an incredible third act Agreed Legit amazing train sequence
Starting point is 00:14:01 I think it's one of the best of all time It's up there with Indiana Jones 3 But not 5 It's up there with Back to the Future 3 It's up there with some of the Mission Impossible movies It's up there with Underseech 2 Dark Territory What I will say though is that the first train sequence also great
Starting point is 00:14:14 because it's got the classic bit two guys chained together. Yeah. What are they going to do? What are they going to do? Run around. Run around. Run around. Use their weight.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Yep. You know, back and forth. Balancing. Yeah, good fun. Good fun. But you're right, third act, train sequence. Yeah. And having the William Tell overture play,
Starting point is 00:14:29 that's a fun piece of music for this man. You do say that, but I also think it's a little bit. It's, again, I like the William Tell Overture. It's a little bit hokey. I have looked at. I think they should have got Scrilex to do a remix. a dubstep remix and this is just for us
Starting point is 00:14:45 Are you punching it into AI now? Well no because copyright This is from the blue core Philharmonic All right This is just for us This is their dubstep remix of the William Tewell Overture Here it is.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Check this out Throw some of that in. Throw some of that in. That's not better. No, you're right. It's not. It's undeniable. Whatever that is. They've done it.
Starting point is 00:15:26 They've done it. You don't like it. No, I don't. It's upsetting. I think they needed a little tweak. No, I disagree. I think it works the classic nature of it. It also has Johnny Depp's favorite thing, and he does this as Jack Sparrow a lot, just balancing
Starting point is 00:15:40 on things and running about. Balancing on a ladder. He loves it. Balancing on a train. Yeah. For that sequence, they built like a bunch of tracks. One of them was a huge oval-shaped track in New Mexico so they could just loop it. Other times when there's the tree sequence.
Starting point is 00:15:55 When they're going through the trees, they put them on the back of semi-trailers so they can run one next to the other. And I think it looks really good because a lot of it is real, like a lot of the crashing stuff, you know, a bit where the train slides towards them at one point, like that's real. There's a reason why this made, no, it didn't make so much money. There's a reason why it cost so much money. There's a reason some people like this. Yes. But nobody's paid money to see it.
Starting point is 00:16:19 I saw it at cinemas. Interesting. And let me tell you, Mason, I don't really remember it outside of the third act. No, I would also say I don't think There's a very spectacular train death In one of the Zorro movies Yeah, Zorro's incredible The William Figner death in this
Starting point is 00:16:35 Not as good Not as good Yeah, it felt like he could have come back Or been alive at the end for a little bit Or something Just shoot him Just shoot him So many opportunities
Starting point is 00:16:43 Shoot him two and a half hours ago Exactly Anyway, there's a post credits of sorts And it looks like Johnny Depp Is shit his pants And he's wandering away from camera Unnecessary, that whole end of sequence Where he wanders off
Starting point is 00:16:54 and whatever, man. Yeah. Whatever. Anyways, it's time for the lone rivia. Ah, I... This is... Yeah, good. Trivia section of the show.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Todd McDaniels, a linguist of the Comanche Nation College, commented favorably on Johnny Depp's attempt to speak Comanche, a language with only 23 to 30 living native speakers. The words were there, the pronunciation was shaky, but adequate. What do you think of that?
Starting point is 00:17:19 I mean, good on. What do you think of this? Good on everyone. What do you think of this? Okay, all right. Johnny Depp has stated that he believes he has Native American, ancestry. I mean, I knew this because I googled, okay, is Johnny Depp?
Starting point is 00:17:30 Okay. I said, okay, is Johnny Depp Native American or what? No. He said it's from his great-grandmother, and he said that he considered the role a personal attempt to try and write the wrongs in the past in reference to the portrayals of Native American culture in the media. So, yeah, I guess it's not the worst betrayal that we've seen. I'm guessing. Yeah. I've seen them all. We've only seen this movie, so I guess so, sure. Critics, though, within the Native American community have labeled Depp a pretendian. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:18:01 A term used to describe individuals who falsely or inadequately claim native heritage. Makes sense. Yeah, there's no evidence that he is Native American. There's evidence to the contrary. He's in that movie Dead Man. The Jim Jarmish movie? Okay. Is that the one that didn't come out?
Starting point is 00:18:17 No, that came out. Because there was one... Since coming out on Criterion. Great. But I don't think... But he's... He's not Native American in that. He's a guy.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Hang on, I'm going to look this up real quickly. He did make a movie in the late 90s where he plays a Native American that was never released because it screened it like Cannes. Okay. So Dead Man's from 1995, Jim Jarmish. William Blake, an accountant, is on the run. Later, he meets a man who calls himself nobody who eventually leads him on the path of spirituality.
Starting point is 00:18:44 That's good. But he's not Native American. That must be where he got his native American heritage. He puts like paint on his face. So I guess in the world of Hollywood, people are like, well, that counts. Yeah, I believe so. Sure, why not?
Starting point is 00:18:55 Yeah. Also, Depp's portrayal of Tonto in the Lone Ranger led him to naming his rock band, Tonto's Giant Nuts. Great, good. Great. I didn't know he had that many bands. We knew how many scarves he had and bandanas a lot. So many scarves and bandanas.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Yeah. He meets a Native American man in Dead Man. He meets a man. And that's not him. He doesn't meet himself. No. Wow. Also, Johnny Depp was two hours late for the script read-through
Starting point is 00:19:20 because he wanted to read in full makeup and costume. That's annoying. Yeah, he didn't have to do that. It's two hours of everybody else's time. Shades of, you know, that guy we like. He's going to be great in Toronto, Ares. Yeah. Jared Leto.
Starting point is 00:19:33 That guy we like. Some real quality method acting, I'm sure you'd be proud. You know the guy? There would be blood. Oh, Javier Bardem. Yes. He would be proud, wouldn't he? Quentin Tarantino actually named this movie as one of his 10 favorite films of 2013.
Starting point is 00:19:49 Wow. It's probably not one of my 10 favorite movies of 2013. I couldn't do it off the top of my head. Do you like Iron Man 3 more? That's also got James Badge Dale. It does, that's true. He's the guy. He's the guy. He gets shot all the way through the chest.
Starting point is 00:20:03 I don't love Iron Man 3. No. But that's more of a disappointment. This is more like surprising that there's something in it that I like. Do you know what I mean? How do you compare those two things? You say one's better. You do.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Tarantino, though, he doesn't reckon he seems like the kind of guy who would like do a line of cocaine and then name every Lone Ranger guest star from the original series? Absolutely he would. So it doesn't surprise me that he loves this kind of thing. Yeah. Also, you mentioned it, but the Lone Ranger is related to Green Hornet and Tom Wilkinson is in both movies. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 00:20:31 That's right. He loves being in a movie. He loves, not now. He loved it. He loved it. We loved it. We loved seeing him in it. Michael Clayton.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Michael Clayton. Will there be a Michael Clayton connection next week? I'll find one. I should have found one for the previous couple of movies. I agree. Speak to your twin brother. Maybe he can find one for you. Great.
Starting point is 00:20:50 Great bit we're doing. One of the all-time great bits, I think you'll find. So if I looked around, that's something I would find. Yes. Okay. On a budget of probably $250 million. That's a lot. This made $260.5.
Starting point is 00:21:05 But of course, you know, as you said, they brought in that yo-yo guy. They probably brought in a railroad guy to just look at the stuff and go, yep, pretty good. They did use real railroad guys for this. They did, yeah. My goodness. In September of 2014, studio president Alan Bergman was asked at a conference, if Disney had been able to partially recoup its losses from this film and also John Carter.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Of Mars. That's right. No, through subsequent release windows or rather monetisation methods. And he responded, I'm going to answer that question honestly and tell you no. It didn't get that much better. We did lose that much money on those movies. See, because that's the thing as well. Like back in the olden times, you didn't have to make back all the money of one movie through its monetization.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Subsidiaries. Exactly. What would happen is they would make a bunch of movies, some low-budget movies and some big-budget movies, and overall, they made some of the low-budget movies would be big hits, and some of the big-budget movies wouldn't be, and they'd just be like, this is fine. But now it's just like, this is a big bomb. This sucks. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Who's this? Alan Bergman. I'm only sorry because I got caught. Yeah. I'd do it again. So we ask us at the end of every week. Do you consider this. a spectacular waste of time and or money.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Not my money. True, but of Disney's money. Like, going into this afterwards, we're like, I wish I didn't watch that. No. This is my favourite of the three we've watched so far. Yeah. And that's an incredible thing to say.
Starting point is 00:22:33 And this has some great swinging around on a train. I agree. Swinging around in and around a train. Yeah. That I mean? Absolutely. Good movie. Not overall.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Movie. Movie with some good bits in it. Agreed. More memorable bits. Yeah, there is more memorable stuff. Like, as opposed to the other two, where you're struggling to be like, I could definitely go to somebody
Starting point is 00:22:52 at least go on YouTube and find the train bits, which are probably, have probably been carved up and put on YouTube, you know what I mean? But otherwise, it's just on Disney Plus.
Starting point is 00:23:01 That's right. Don't worry about it. Yeah. Anyways, do you want to hint towards next week? Yes. It's Tomorrowland. I mean, I can change it
Starting point is 00:23:10 if you're not happy with it, basically. No, let's do tomorrow land. Still, we have to do it eventually. Do you do we? Yes. Okay. We have to do every movie.
Starting point is 00:23:18 We have to do every movie. Otherwise, we have to do every movie that people are like, whoa, you know. This, of this movie of this kind. Because when we run out of these, we have to do like bicycle thieves and stuff. Oh, yeah. You know, movies that are about things, old movies that are about things. What are you talking about? Right?
Starting point is 00:23:34 Nothing's about anything. Things just happen in movies and people go from A to B and they go, where'd you get that? Eventually, we're going to have to start doing the before trilogy. Oh, my God. Well, if there's a new before movie, we can do the before trilogy. Yeah, before end game, they're going to call it. Before Infinity War, wait, before Secret Wars. Secret War, Doomsday.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Yeah, that's right. Yeah. It's just Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy just walking around during and before and after Secret Wars and Doomsday. Yeah. Been like, whoa, what's life about? Whoa. What's this crystal or whatever? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:06 It's probably important. Yeah. Also, I'm in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Ethan Hawk would say. His moon night's made or whatever. I'm the glass foot man. I'm the man with glass in his feet. That's true. Anyways, thank you so much to Ben for the edit, who did this entirely by himself.
Starting point is 00:24:20 He needs everybody to know that. Lawrence didn't help at all. Thank you, Ben. This is a solo effort. Love it. And also, don't we have something called Big Sandwich.com? You better believe we do. Early videos go there.
Starting point is 00:24:29 We do movie commentaries. We do video game, let's plays. We do bonus podcasts. We also have a podcast. It's called The Weekly Planet, where we talk movies and comics and TV shows. It's got its own YouTube channels on Spotify, Apple and all the different things if you wanted to find and have a look at it and talk movie with the news of the week and then a movie. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:24:43 It is, isn't it? Mm-hmm. and we look forward to seeing you next week for a movie that I don't want to watch. Well, you're going to have to? Yeah. I'm going to have to. You can just pretend.
Starting point is 00:24:53 No, because I don't remember it enough to pretend. Yeah, that's how they get you, isn't it? That's how they get that view. It's true. All right, thanks, everyone. Grabbed at Jim, you guys. We'll see you next week. Bye.
