this week on we hate movies well look at that it's another movie where people are
constantly chugging blue liquid it's max pain i'm andrew jupin stephen sadak
eric ciska major pain and we hate movies wrong movie what
Hello, everyone. Welcome to We Hate Movies. Thank you for tuning in. As always, that's right.
We got another video game adaptation for you. It's John Moore's Max Payne from 2008. I got to say right up front.
This dude, dreadful fucking film.
You take a look at this shit.
Flight of the Phoenix remake, Omen remake, Behind Enemy Lines, A Good Day to Die Hard, this, and something called IT with Pierce Brosnan Lookout.
I never saw the Oman remake, but the Flight of the Phoenix remake is uniquely terrible.
That's very bad.
The Omen remake is very bad.
Both of those in theaters.
Actually, saw behind enemy lines and theaters and a good day to die hard.
I heard John Moore fanatic.
I guess so. Whoops.
His picture on letterboxed is hilarious, by the way.
He is like an American flag scarf, but it's not like the colors.
It's like de great.
It's like the cover of the Zach Snyder's Justice League.
It's all like a white.
It's really something.
Look it up on letterbox.
It's incredible.
It looks like he's sweating through the oldies in this fucking picture.
I got to tell you.
I will say if you asked me in 1999,
if enemy at the gates
is one of the best movies ever made
I would probably say it was
Oh behind enemy lines
Okay so then I'm way wrong
Okay so behind enemy lines
Was that Owen Wilson
Yes
Wow
Behind enemy lines
Wow
And Gene Heckwood's like
Oh we got to get him out of here
Before I retire from filmmaking
Because this is getting pretty bad
Kevin you were not kidding
I don't know what is going on with this scarf
He's got a tie on in this picture
Now I got to look at shit up
Post it to the chat.
It's on my iPad.
I can't do that.
I'll get it.
Cabin, you do it.
I mean, also what's crazy?
This dude's an Irishman.
Oh, that's nice.
He kind of looks like,
what's his face there?
There's a bomb in Centennial Park.
Paul Walter Houser or actually what's the same?
No, not Richard, Julie.
Looks like Paul Walter has.
Got it, got it, got it.
That Oman remake, again, is just so bad.
So totally fucking bad.
Okay, I'm seeing the fun.
now. Yeah, he's got the
stars draped over him there.
It's a bit of a weird choice,
especially for an Irishman.
I mean, maybe it's just a scarf
that has stars on. I don't like that
anyway. Yeah, I don't know what. It's in
a very specific pattern. The Irish
likes stars, horseshoes, and balloons.
And honestly, that seems
like it's a
Tinder photograph that gets
swiped the wrong way a lot.
oh man
so anyway
this guy he saw Sin City
and he loved it so much he wanted to make dim
city
how long we working on that this afternoon
I was after I watched the film
I jotted that little number down
and I was like I'm going to work that in the night
Eric went to the comedy store
for one joke
Eric Zizka ladies a gentleman
Eric Liska
you got any onesies
what do you guys think about this
dim city
because it's not only a
dark and grainy film right
you know also the mood right but
also Mark
Wahlberg's big dumb guy
oh yeah that's also he's a big old
moron yeah I would also
say Eric you could also
go with a dumbstantine
would also be
dumbstantine would also
work 100%
yeah I wrote down of my notes you sir
are no Constantine
this movie because I mean not even close listen I've kind of been dancing around and don't tell me I don't I don't know why I can't tell you is I've been dancing around a constantine rewatch because it's a fun movie yeah and like after this definitely getting thrown on this week yes we should mention I believe the video game doesn't have this crazy supernatural element it's yeah but this isn't even a real super natural element anyway it's that's true.
It's a hallucination.
It's a shared hallucination, which doesn't make a ton of sense.
And if it's special to the world, sure.
But then you have to explain that to me a little bit.
We put monster juice in the drugs by mistake.
I mean, I don't know, man.
This is a movie about a fucking detective whose family is murdered.
And he's trying to figure out why.
And like a pharmaceutical company is involved.
And like, that's all it should be.
I don't need this Norse mythology.
All the pharmaceutical stuff, I assume.
has something to do with Resident Evil too
because also video game
adaptation stuff. Well, we should say up front though
then Chris because I mean like
get this out of the way. Yeah, this is a video game. Did anybody
play the game? I did. I definitely
I don't know if I played I might have played both of them
but I've definitely played at least one all the way
through. I think in one of my sadder years I watched a buddy of mine
play it for a while. That was kind of fun. Yeah.
I never.
You're just hang out of a buddy's house.
good beer. He's played a video game. Like, this is pretty cool. It came out like 2001. So I either
played it like, I don't know, the summer before college or maybe freshman year being a real
cool guy with my fucking tower PC. Yeah, I never touched this stuff. I saw a picture. Somebody
showed me a picture. He looks in the video game like he's one of the Cuomo clan. Yeah.
He's got that luck to him. He looks like a scuzzy like Guido kind of guy. Very much. Eric, do I recall
correctly he kind of talks like this oh no
what's gonna happen to be max pain
absolutely because we're trying to do
I mean we're really trying to do
that hard boiled like film noirish type
of stuff the entire video game really relies on
like voiceover narration of that guy who's
right in this movie by the way James
McCaffery yeah that's right
yeah he plays the FBI agent in this movie who gets like
one second scene apparently was the voice actor
for Max Payne in the game
and it makes it makes sense like
that you would do this for him too
because like by this point
well 2008
I think Rescue Me
maybe it wasn't over
but it was definitely drawing to a close
so like he had been on TV
sort of regularly for a while at this point
in the world of like
you know when we talk about video game adaptation
we talk about this a lot which is like
when you're watching a tumor movie like
well fuck I just kind of wish I was watching
Indiana Jones because again it's
it's the same thing where it's like oh let's make
Indiana Jones the video game with the sexy lady
this is like let's make a cool noir movie
as a, you know, rock'em, sock a video game.
And that's cool.
And it's like, yeah, what if we added fucking dark angels to it for some reason?
I just don't even know.
The drug of the game was called Valkyre, I believe.
It was.
And we know what's great about the video game, too.
And they do do a scene or two of it in this movie is we were just saying,
oh, you got to activate bullet time.
Because remember the Matrix, everyone?
We got to do bullet time.
Yeah.
So everything slows down.
you could shoot like, I don't know, more funnly.
That's like there's a game out now that I was playing on Switch called, oh, fuck.
I think the word hot is in the title.
It's kind of like a shoot-em-up thing.
The graphics are like very sort of like basic, but it's all that sort of like physics,
like slowing down time and hot, hot girls.
You're talking about pornography, dude?
Oh, fuck.
Maybe I am.
Great franchise.
They got to put that on.
out on Switch.
Where's the port for
remaster that?
It's not this,
but it's like hot shot
or something like that.
I don't know.
Super hot?
Yes.
Yeah,
there we go.
Oh,
okay.
Super hot.
Mario presents hot, hot girls.
Oh,
get over here,
ladies.
Get kissing each other.
What?
Wah-hoo.
Oh,
we're all to get to canceled.
Oh, no.
Bowser stole our ladies,
man.
The one thing.
The one thing.
The one thing.
all the hot, hot girls.
It makes sense for those girls to be undressed in Bowser's castle
because he's got all those lavas in his house.
I'm sorry, Mario, but your hot, hot girls are in another castle.
I mean, Bowser is also, he's all about not wearing anything.
Like, he's a nudist, of course.
He only has that collar.
That's it.
That color tells you everything you need to know.
He's sex forward. He's very sex forward.
Yeah, absolutely.
So he's got like a big old turtle dick or something.
Yeah, but it opens up and has to come out.
It's like the shape of water dick.
Oh, did they show that dick?
I got to rewatch it.
They didn't see that.
They explain it at some point.
Ladies are attracted to the power though.
You know, he is a king for sure.
You know what I mean?
It's got like a James Gandalfidi build as well.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, but he's also super strong dude.
So all these hot, hot girls, he's doing like those cool like standing 69s, you know?
He's also, he's also, he's also.
super strong in another way. This guy is
not firing any blanks. He's got so many
kids and they all have castles.
That's true. That dude has way
too many kids. I think Bowser's fucking Irish
in those games. And you know, tip
off his shell. Very horny.
Wrap it up, you fucking fat
dragon. Jesus Christ.
Wrap it up, you fat
dragon. That's a t-shirt,
right? Oh, definitely.
So one thing that I know was
not in the video game was this
subplot, the Manchurian candidate-esque
subplot about the Marines and the
super drug? Yeah, well, you know what, dude? I mean, that's just straight
fucking, we're in the middle of the war in Afghanistan.
Yes. I mean, we're commenting.
I was more surprised. I don't know if you guys have seen this like
where, so he's like a detective, right? Yep. And then his wife
gets murdered? Dude, could you believe it? I mean, like, detectives usually
solve crimes for like things that Abidon.
other people, right? That's what you expect.
That's like getting home and opening your door
and finding a podcast in your house.
I would say that's almost too
personal, Steve, for you to be getting involved
with. It's strange, but that he does do
it though, because he has to, I guess, right?
I know, and it was just so fucked up. Oh my God,
they killed his wife. And dude, and his
baby daughter, I've never seen that
in the movie before. That was really.
That fucking blew my mind. This is big time
the video game. I remember there was even
like a, they're sort of not like
full on hallucinations, but they were like
dark dream levels or something
where it's like you're running around
this darkened house and you're hearing the baby
cry forever and it's just like, okay.
So they basically, I mean, they use
that like pseudo haunted house shit
to like filter in this other stuff
like all the fucking, I almost call them
parodemons, but like these dalcaries
or whatever, right? Because like if you got a dark
house and there's a like lone baby
crying somewhere in the darkness
like creepy shit and then at that point
it's like well, why not some fucking evil
angel things let's do it sure yeah because well the other why else are you doing this weird look
like if it's just going to be a normal like oh a corrupt organization bow bridges killed my wife
like if it's just going to be that like there's no real reason for this to look so stupid and like
to look over stylized this way it's incredible that this movie is 08 in 07 uh
Or was it also
08? No, I think it was 07.
Whatever year
fucking Iron Man came out
and Jeff Bridges is also playing a guy
who knew the
protagonist, his whole life
as a trusted confidant
and then also turns out
to be crooked,
just like Bo Bridges in this movie.
I think that's fantastic.
I really have to know.
I know it's the name.
Iron Man's 08, by the way.
So the same year
the Bridges Bro is playing crooked favorites.
Hey, well, look at us.
We're playing crooked fucks, brother.
I just really need to know if they
did they hire Bow Bridges
because the name of the character was BB
I think so because I really need to know
Mark Wahlberg would just
could only call him Bo Bridges
okay I could shorten it to BB maybe
that's how I'll remember
I'll remember you bro Mark his name is
Carla no you know just BB's fine
we'll just shoot those other we're going to have to reshoot
those other scenes we're just going to have to shoot him
I'm Mark and I'm M.M.
He's Bo Bridges and he's Beebey.
What's so fucking hard?
I was so
curious about this because I
assume that was the reason.
That like has to be. It's just
Marky, Mark, didn't know what to say.
He had to say BB for
Bo Bridges, but apparently it was a
character in the game, but a completely
kind of different character was like a cricket
DEA agent. Well, it's the same
character because they take the
DEA thing kind of out of this. He's just
the security head for the evil corporation.
right the big pharma place aries or whatever it's called and so but in the in both this and the other one in the video game he's like the the father figure and he was the former partner of his of herald pain or whoever his father is that's he was that in this movie too yeah yeah they both that's the one thing that keeps but the DEA thing I don't think is anywhere in this oh no it's not DEA I think he's supposed to be like a beat cop it was a weird I was having trouble being like so you were a cop and now you work for you
for this pharmaceutical agency,
but yeah,
I guess if he's like
the head of security
for that, sure.
It's just an odd
career transition for BB.
Absolutely.
And I kept on thinking,
I'll be,
it's a throwback,
but I,
every time the word BB,
and the name BB
is said a lot in this movie.
It is.
Every time I thought about,
uh,
uh,
what's a deadly friend?
I,
every time,
every time I was like,
I was like,
oh,
is the fucking little monster
going to come,
the robot monster
going to come around the corner?
Speaking of the little monster coming, I kept thinking about Netanyahu.
I just kept thinking of Netanyahu.
So did Max Payne?
We have to kill your wife, if you understand.
She said something nice about Palestinians.
So she must be killed now, now, now.
Max Payne is my favorite video game.
When I first heard BB8 from Star Wars,
I thought they were talking about Netanyahu's final term.
Ken?
They kept reluctant that guy.
So this thing starts out with Max Payne floating in the water
I don't believe in heaven
I believe in pain and fear and death
There's armies of bodies in the river
I mean I think that last line
There's armies of bodies in this river is pretty cool
I do like the visual of him floating
And there's all these other corpses like
At least you don't got it like we do
Join us down here
Have a beer
It's actual armies of people
Yeah it's all the test subjects
from the army that died on
Valkyreary or whatever
and they threw him in the water.
That's Bo Bridges' fucking dumping
ground.
I was half waiting for him
to start saying,
so here's me.
I was banging this old actress.
And then
some former director
was also telling me
I should leave,
but I didn't.
So I got shots.
Oh shit,
von Stroheim, bro.
Von what?
Von Dutch?
Yeah, I love that shit.
I would bet.
I would bet.
everything that I have
that Mark Wahlberg has never
heard of Eric von Stroheim
No doubt about it
But he has rocked no fewer
than 20 Van Dutch hats
Yes absolutely
Oh Eric von Stroheim
The Hat guy
He's famous
I this movie
And it's especially when it starts to get going
Speaking of Von Dutch and douchebags
It feels like a fake movie from the entourage universe
It does
Remember that
I am Queen's bulletin
That Jekylland Hyde movie he makes
In the entourage movie
It's probably better than Max Payne
Probably the Escobar 1-2 probably I would imagine
Oh, Mettie Ian bro
I'm talking about Mettie Ian
The um
Is Vince gonna do Max Payne and not
Uh
Not actually
Sorry about that
I noticed when he
This is kind of an interesting
thing. So we're talking about the Bridges Brothers
a second ago. A thing I observed
last night watching this, he's floating in this water
right, and he's there and he's like clearly
it's Mark Wahlberg like in a tank
and he's holding his breath and shit.
When Mark Wahlberg is underwater,
like totally
underwater, right?
He looks exactly like Donnie Wahlberg.
Which is to say that Donnie Wahlberg
is a water larded Mark
that's accurate. That seems about right.
if they ever need
you know him to play like a
like if they ever have to show Mark Wahlberg
as a corpse just pull in Donnie
yep exactly
just like splash a bucket of water on him
you'll believe that's Mark Wahlberg's dead body
honestly and Jenny McCarthy seems like
a perfect samalcrum of all
of the women that Mark Wahlberg has
knocked up or given a venereal disease too
well not anymore
my friend he's found Jesus
so you should just fuck right off
hold on a second
I'm not going. I'll stop that. Mark found Jesus.
Oh, yeah, man. Where was he?
Bend over and I'll show you. He was at the garden.
Well, he's doing, he's got some new movie where he's playing a priest, too.
Is it like a, a violent priest of some nature?
Yes. It actually is. Dude, it's a fucking, he's a, it's a, it's called Father's Stu.
And he plays a boxer who becomes a priest for some reason. And Mel, you know who's in it?
Mighty Mel Gibson's also in it. Oh, yes.
Yes. That's what you want.
The Catholics are coming out tonight.
He's a killer priest.
No, I think he's just another guy like who's like, oh, how could you be a priest?
Or I guess he's just dad maybe.
They have the same last name.
Now we're the cast.
Oh, no.
Or brother possibly.
Mel Gibson cannot play Mark Wahlberg.
Yeah, that's a good way.
That would be very funny if it did have.
But I heard the last thing I heard from all Marky Wahlberg was that he was.
definitely going to do. This is what I thought you met when he became a Christian. He's going
to do the Bill Belichick biopic. Oh, nice. Finally get his Oscar. That's how he would get it.
I mean, come on. Better start eating. Joke Oscar. Do it. He's, he's playing Bill Belichick?
He wants to eat. That was the last thing he says, like, look out. Bill Belichick,
a biopic, me coming. Is Bill Bill Belich? I was it Bill Biopic. I said Bill Biopic. Is Bill
Belichick famously Christian? I don't know. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's
Mark Wahlberg, what the, but it's the
Pats, baby. Yeah, it's a faith. I mean, it's a faith
that's unto itself.
Yeah, I mean, that's, that would be
something you would call it chicken wing the movie.
So whatever
and like, we kind of flash back to
a very meaningless thing
which is like Max Payne works
the cold cases and that's
all he does and
there's this guy like, this guy's like
if you end up here, you're a piece
of shit just like Max Payne. Right, he's
showing this, this fellow around.
And I'm like, okay, so this guy's going to be a character in the movie.
He's going to be our conduit.
He's going to be our eyes as the audience.
No, he's just gone.
Well, it's funny.
He's a black gentleman.
And like, it's like, he asks like Mark Wahlberg, like, hey man, you want to get a beer.
And he doesn't even say anything to him.
And he's like, yeah, Max doesn't go out much.
I'm like, nah, if you were white, he'd probably go out with you.
Oh, yeah, Max Payne.
Yeah.
I buy that with Max Payne.
The funny thing, too, is this other, this like egg-shaped,
gentleman that's showing the new guy around
like it's not just like Walberg's
down here he's like if you're down
here with us kid it means you fucked
up something bad we all
got shit we're trying to repent for
or whatever and then the guy's like
prodding and prodding and prodding like yeah
how did Max get down here blah blah blah
and the guy's like finally had it enough and he's like
look his wife and kid
were moited
because we should say this is this is a
New York City set motion picture
filmed exclusively
in Toronto. So you got fucking Canadians
up and down this cast.
Props, though, for them
filming a lot of it outside on location.
Because look, it looks better than a Marvel movie
in that regard. Sorry.
But yeah, he's like, yeah, there's a ground
and sky that you can see sometimes. Real fucking
buildings they're standing in front of them. They do love
this flurries of snow, which I was like, is this
CG? Oh, dude, some of the
worst fake snow I've ever seen in this movie. Yeah.
There's a scene where, like, someone opens a window, or it's where it's like Max Payne raids, I mean, we'll get to any raids, like Donald Logue's office at the police station, and then, like, jumps out the window.
And when they break the door down, it's like, oh, he got away.
And there is, like, shredded pieces of paper flying through the window.
It looks terrible.
Because it's, like, big enormous flakes of snow, the entire film.
Yeah.
Well, there's that shot where Lupino, the one of the bigger village, is, like, outside.
naked and it's definitely supposed
to be like a Rutger Hauer in Blade
Runner's shot. Sure. The snow coming
down and him like hanging off some
balcony somewhere.
This dude's doing a lot of looking off
balconies in this movie. It's kind of like his main
function. But we see
a little bit of like what Max Payne's
getting into here after hours and of course
it's your thing of like yeah he's
riding this desk during you know
work time but he is still
investigating you know trying to
solve his family's murder
so he's like walking in the subway
like baiting tweakers to mug him
so you can get information from them.
Yeah and I mean the funny thing is like
what we find out is that his family was murdered
three years ago
and only through the events of this film
does he start being like
yo maybe I should check out where she worked
he's just like going into alleyways
beating up fucking meth heads
hoping to get information for three years.
Yeah you're not wrong dude
It's like how good of a detective is Max Payne in the first place?
He's a terrible detective.
I mean, if you meet Chris O'Donnell and you trust him, immediately get out of the door.
Get the fuck out of here.
He's evil.
Look at this man.
Yeah.
I got to tell you, man, he's too old for it now.
I said this last son in the group chat.
He's too old for it now.
But if you got Chris O'Donnell back then, maybe a couple years younger, but I think, oh, wait,
O'Donnell still could have done it.
He could play that total rat fuck Matt Gap.
Looks exactly like him in this movie.
If you gave Chris O'Donnell,
Matt Gats a stupid fucking Beavis and Butthead haircut.
You mean, that guy's going to eventually be president,
so maybe he could play him like as an older.
The problem is,
is that I don't know how you quagmire a jaw like that.
Like, that's what you need to do.
Chris O'Donnell would have to let out his jaw
by about two to three inches to get a Mac Gates.
Oh, man.
So when you were talking about,
meant like she's she's trying to get these uh these users to fight him in this subway station
he then goes to the subway bathroom a fictional thing we would all love to use totally a new york city
yeah a new york city subway bathroom in 2008 get out of here fantasy film it does they don't exist
anymore there's more realistic shit in lord of the rings it's absolutely true one of those
talking trees i could see that happening before a a new york city subway restroom reopened
Swords and shields are made every day.
Let's just be honest.
And what is Ghalm, if not just a fentanyl attic?
Right?
That's true.
His precious is the fent.
And the Mount Doom is the toilet
you flush the drugs down.
So he's beating the shit out of these dudes.
And one guy gets away, but like he's high
on this stupid drug.
So all these evil angels are bothering him.
and like he just gets hit by a subway
which is pretty cool.
You better believe I rewind that scene
saying what the fuck just happened
because I never saw this movie
and I didn't play the game that much
but I was like hold on
what's happening in this week
these gobobiles are like
coming down from the sky
scratching at this guy
that he gets by a train
and I'm like I guess it was hallucination
and I could just put that to bed
but they keep coming back
Mamma me
one of my hot hot girls
was taken by a gobolid
Oh, it's a hot to hot to goblin
They took him a hot to hot to girl
Man this drug
Talk about a Mario party
Get some hot hot girls in there
Now we're talking
Sure totally
That might be the smash brothers then
Oh my Lord in heaven
This fucking drug shit is pretty stupid
So these guys don't seem like
That they were in the army
And being officially tested on
So I guess our
we come to find that Marine Corps
like Sergeant who's now
hanging out in a nightclub
he has like zero time in this movie
be cool to develop maybe
sure the villain at all
yeah it's a weird thing where like
this whole movie this guy Lupino
is like the fake villain
because Bo Bridges is the real villain
so what you do learn in
in the end of the movie though
is that Bo Bridges is it's like something
something yeah we just put the drug
out on the streets and I was like
the fuck did you do that for it's limited it's like quailudes or something like you know they're
not going to keep making this stuff even at the at a part at the party they show some blonde woman
like just kind of like taking some of it like all these like demons come out just like oh this sucks
and i'm like yeah dude you wouldn't take the stroke twice it's it's thank you it's such a stupid
we could just get right into it max pain goes to a party uh at this dude trevor's house who's like
some old informant guy
and he's walking around and over and yeah there's this
one part where like the movie
like continues on
but the camera stays in this room
to watch this girl do this drug and she's
like so hip to take it
and then yeah like she lays she lays back
on the bed like you just have a you know
a killer hit of something you know
and you're ready for it to kick in and then it's just
like whoa
and she's like oh no
what the fuck it is a one
and done drug later in the movie
they suggest like the whole thing was that
it was a combat drug. Sure.
And like when you see the interview
with Lupino before he became
a psycho, he's just like
I just feel like nothing could touch
me. I feel so great. I'm like, where the fuck
is that feeling? Anywhere and
anybody else except this guy.
That's that's another fucking blinking.
You miss it line though, Chris, because he's like
again, I think it's fucking Bow Bridges
is like, yeah, like the
people we gave it to, like the vast
majority of them freak the fuck out.
But like a few people here and there, it did what it was intended to do.
So it's like Lupino and then maybe a few other dudes, but everyone else has totally adverse effects, it's including Max Payne.
They are warriors, you know, that dude.
So it's like this Nazi crank developed for that kind of guy specifically.
It'd be cool if you knew a buddy who was like addicted to this drug.
And like every time he's just like, oh man, I was watching Ocean's 11 last night.
I fucking hate when all those demons showed up in Ocean's 11.
I was like, dude, you got to get off that drug, man.
It's not in the movie.
Man, that was so fucked up on the blue stuff last night.
I was watching Constantine, and it was totally fine.
You can't, like, try to follow it at all.
Like, literally when Olga, like, he meets Olga Kurlenko.
Curlenko, yeah.
He meets her at this thing.
And her whole thing, she keeps on saying, is like, oh, I need the drug to keep the demons away.
That's how they stay away.
Okay.
And I'm like, okay.
So nothing makes sense.
fantastic. Olga Kirillinko,
objection, Your Honor,
she gets the hammer in this movie
and Parlin's, the hammer
is who gets the end and the credits.
That's got to be Bo Bridges.
Yeah, of course.
Stunny.
He's just like third build.
I'm like, no, no, no, no. If he's in the movie
this much and he's kind of the secret villain,
it's and Bo Bridges and everyone
goes home happy. Maybe I could
see an argument for Chris O'Donnell
if he was a character. Yes, exactly.
It's not a character. Therefore, it doesn't make sense.
Yeah, Uncle Kerolenko playing a creatively named character at Natasha.
And she comes up to this movie all wasted.
And she's like, I thought I knew all of Max's friends.
It is a hilarious delivery here.
Yes, I'm sorry, sweetheart. I only get hard for my dead wife.
You're barking up the wrong tree.
yeah masturbate to old videotapes of old birthdays we had for the baby yeah i gotta fast forward
i gotta fast forward through all the parts where it's just the baby on screen
shows wore a hot dress on those birthdays you know man his fantasies about his family and later on
when he's like thinking he's gonna go meet them and be in heaven again i want to ask you guys
your thoughts on this now if you have a baby in heaven does that you know not like
birthed in heaven, but your baby dies, it goes to heaven. Does it grow up? Can you go up there
and hang out? Like, there's a great question. I think it becomes a baby ghost for sure for a little
while at least. But then that's like, it's just babies are so dependent on you and a baby ghost,
one that won't die and go away if you don't take care of it. Like that sounds like a nightmare.
Well, the baby ghost problem is that we are seeing less and less castles being built
in this modern day. And we need more castles for baby ghosts.
They don't do well in apartments.
I'll be honest.
They just don't,
they don't seem to really flourish there.
Like the movie Baby Ghosts starring Joe Estavis.
What?
There is a movie called Baby Ghost,
and I know it was done in Rift Tracks,
but I watched me a decade ago.
It is an insane Joe Estavis movie
where there is a baby ghost
haunting an apartment building,
and it's got a great theme song that goes,
I'm a baby ghost.
Now I'm free.
Do da, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
Yeah, it's, it's,
This VHS cover, whatever, looks amazing.
Yeah, my wife and I found it like a 1am one night.
And like, again, this is years before Rift Tracks did it.
And it changed my life.
It is the most boring, bad movie you'll ever watch though.
But I thought you were going to say that time you experienced a baby ghost in your old place in Brooklyn, Steve.
Oh, yeah, that was just, I think that was just something a baby ghost experience.
Please walk us through your haunted.
No, I think it was just a vet, but it was just like every night at like midnight, there would be,
like a wailing through coming through
my vents and I'm like that's fucking creepy
Max Payne. I was kind of
I was kind of Max Payne.
Another
actor who I think is pretty good
that's totally wasted in this movie is
Milakunis. She is
Natasha's sister
and is also
something something very powerful
crime boss. Absolutely.
You got it dead on right there. Question mark.
Don't need any more explanation. What are you talking about?
You don't need no. It's just a
heavily involved mafia
playing Mona Sacks
in my notes
I have is she terrible
because that's the problem
with I think Milakounis is really
specifically like really good and good
things and really bad and bad things
and I don't it's she's
one of those actresses and that's fine
comedies yes
comedies she's great and she's good in Black Swan too
yeah I think she's very funny
but also like watching this like I would watch
her do
some kind of like John Wick
like if she
was casting that fourth John Wick as something
because like she is like very natural
with the gun play and shit like it was all
working but like
it's just not a character
and at this point I mean it's 2008
like she was as big as she's ever been
and it's just like you're in this movie for two seconds
literally the movie abandons her
she shows up impossibly
in the final action sequence
she shows up and then vanishes just as quickly
Yeah, she really does.
It's great.
She like takes out
Beau Bridges number two
who you didn't realize
was a character
until they really amp him up
you're like,
okay?
Yeah, it's kind of,
it's a real hey,
whatever screenplay.
Hey,
whatever.
And so,
uh,
yeah,
Mona Sacks is all pissed off
that her sister
Natasha Sacks is at this party.
Seems like there's been
some sort of sobriety issues here.
Sure.
Something,
something.
So that's one Mona Sacks and one,
Nat Sacks.
That's right. It's just such a name.
Sacks. Yeah. It's got to be like a shortened thing because they're both supposed to be
like Russian in this movie.
Sex. Sanova or something.
Oh, so in this party, we also meet Trevor, one of his lowly guys.
I only notice this guy because he's played by Andrew Friedman, who is the pervert uncle from
capturing the Friedman's.
Yes, actually.
That was a pervert dad and son.
I think they captured that guy.
He wasn't able to be in movies anymore.
No more computer courses for that, Bozo.
Was it before 2008, though, Steve?
That's the question.
That's a great question.
No, from, it's always sunny in Philadelphia.
Charlie Dave's a weirdo uncle who's like rubbing his thighs.
Oh, Uncle Jack.
Yeah.
I love that guy.
Good on.
This dude's been in a ton of shit.
But yeah, I was like, oh, Uncle Jack.
That's appropriate.
Yeah, and he's just another guy
that kind comes to nothing.
He was a former Max Payne informant,
we're told, as the idea there.
But this is the scene where he follows Natasha
into this back room.
She gets high on the blue powder drug.
And Mark Wahlberg here is noticing
like there's all these people with wing tattoos
including this guy Lupino.
What's that about, bro?
Whoa, look at that only one wing.
That's fucked up.
How are you going to fly away with just one?
Stupid tattoo, bro.
I may be, I may actually adjust my detective strategy of beating up random homeless people,
which is what I've been doing for three years.
I suppose I can stop beating up the homeless and follow a lead.
Why not?
Yeah, Eric Adams, take note.
Man, that guy.
Fucking rank choice voting.
Fuck you, New York City.
But so like, she goes back with him and he's like trying to get information.
out of her I guess is the idea
and this is when she's like
I'll have sex with you and he's like
no bro you're not my dead wife
my beautiful angel dead wife
dude the funny thing is though
she doesn't know that it's a dead wife
situation and she's just like
oh yes it's just someone who broke your heart
and not here anymore
how about I be her you close your eyes
and fuck me and I be her for you
and I was like lady
this is the dead wife you're talking about
he's going to get pissed about this.
At John Morris camera, I mean,
it is about as a tasteful
as Al Bundy. It's just
like, take a good look,
Costanza, every fucking,
every turn, every cut for
as soon as she enters the fucking frame.
There is, though, a really
like, you
are embarrassing
yourself by trying to do this shot,
but also keep it PG-13,
because she takes everything off except her underwear
and she lays down in the bed,
like, you know, in reality
she'd be laying there just
topless like let's fucking do this
but she's just got like
the part of the under
sheet of the bed just draped
over her. It's like a pillowcase.
It's so weird. I was like you fucking undid
the bed just to do, like you
unmade the bed just to do this.
She sees like Max Payne
and it's like she sees what zero
pussy does to a motherfucker so
she's trying to help him.
She's trying. I guess that's true.
But listen, I don't know
how horny you can get
when you're with someone who's hepped up on Scarecrow's
Fear Toxin.
Like, I'm fucking a devil
angel or whatever.
Yeah, this is awesome.
This is great.
I mean, fucking a Valkyrie, bro.
I don't know.
I would feel pretty,
I'd get, my ego would be boosted pretty well
if a woman was like, I'm seeing demons.
I'm seeing angels.
Yeah, dude.
I'm seeing a fire above me.
Your life's flashing before your eyes
as we're getting in there.
I mean, I don't know, Chris, like, yeah, you're, you're fucking doing the deed.
And if it's like, oh, I'm seeing heaven, I guess that's one thing.
But if the screams are, oh, I'm seeing demons, that's not a great response.
I don't know, man.
I mean, some people might be into that.
Yeah, I think Chris is on to something.
The burned angels, you know, just everybody likes the feathery type.
That's true.
Ash and the burn.
Walbert gets in a great line here.
And it's something I've always wanted to yell at somebody, but he's,
He's trying to get her out of the apartment.
Like, she's kind of not, she's like, wait a minute.
Seriously, you don't want to fuck me?
This is the first time this has ever happened to me.
And he's like, get your shit and get out.
And I'm like, oh, man, get your shit and get out.
Great thing to say to somebody.
And I guess she steals his wallet, even though, I don't know, she's like a mob boss of some kind.
I mean, I guess I don't know.
Fuck this guy.
This guy, you know.
Yeah, true.
He's now bruising her ego.
Yes, yes, I am loaded.
I don't need the money.
but hey, hey, hey, look at him trying to use bank card tomorrow morning.
Fucking loser widow.
He is kind of a loser widow, to be quite honest.
I think that's a widower, by the way.
But she just gets got by Lupino here.
I mean, I think we see more of these demon things.
And again, I'm watching this movie because it's not explained just yet.
I'm like, are these things real?
Because if these things are real, and I'm like kind of just like,
gripping the back of my couch
gonna break it for five seconds
like totally it was a thing
where I'm watching it and I was like I was like
I had the text drafted to you guys
like some sort of like are they
fucking serious just in case
these things turned out
to be real
but so whatever she's dead the next day
but why again like why
why was she killed
why what's his motivation to kill her
that's a great question
he doesn't make any sense yeah he doesn't
make any sense. They say that he's making an army at some point. And I'm like, what is he
doing? And then like that goes nowhere. However, like is Bo Bridges telling him, oh, you got to kill
this girl. Frameback Spade. Probably not. See, there's no plot to this. There's no like, what is this
dude who's got this nightclub full of this Valker drug? What is his end game? What is he doing?
Why is he doing any of this shit? I don't know. It seems like, I mean, I hadn't thought about it,
Steve, but I think of the notion of like
and again, the movie
doesn't say this, so it's just speculative
but like that seems like
the best motivation for why Lupino
would kill her is to do this like
framing of Max Payne
but you know, because Bro. Bridges
is like, uh-oh, he finally
thought about maybe investigating his
wife's job.
Oh fuck.
Here's the report. Max Payne
Max Payne beat up six homeless people
last night. Excellent news.
Every day, he's just excited because he's just on the entirely wrong track.
Things are looking up.
Gotta say.
Couldn't be the healthcare industry, bro.
I mean, they're heroes.
They're saving lives every day.
That's right.
They are.
We should talk about the...
Did anyone else notice that the blue medicine, which, by the way, is not injected,
which is kind of cowardly.
You just drink it.
It looks very much like the blue liquid used in maxi pad commercials.
You know what I mean?
To show absorbency.
Yep.
Oh, my God.
Absolutely.
100% correct.
I didn't think about that until right now.
And I'll tell you,
I've always kind of wanted to drink that blue.
Well,
that you'll see fucking dragons and shit.
But here's the thing, here's the thing.
Great point about not injecting it, right?
It's ingest to get it going.
But then why?
Oh, why?
Later in the movie, when they go to this dude,
like whatever Green, John Green,
or whatever, he and Milakuna's go to find Owen Green.
They go to find this dude
and he's in some fucking tweaker pad or whatever.
It looked like the beginning
of Denzel and
Lithgow, what's that movie?
A ricochet.
Yeah, where they go in that, like the drug den house
and ricochet. Kind of reminded me of that.
Yeah. The dude has, and I guess
it's just like, so he's doing this stuff, but also
maybe, you know, pushing needle drugs also
because, like, he holds up his arm and he's got
the wing tattoo, like Mark Wahlberg notices the wing tattoo again.
And there's track marks all over his arm.
So I was like, are you also?
shooting this shit? Or is that
it's a separate drug addiction? He probably wanted heroin
to come down from all these fucking
rabid demons and shit, dude. I guess that's true. That's true.
And now to Steve's point, I mean, you know,
huff in a maxi pad, that could be
an interesting drug for sure.
Oh, yeah. I think they did that in the
70s. They do a lot of things in the 70s.
I'm a toughest nails detective. My name is
Max Pad.
You could call me Maxie.
My friends do.
Tampon squad
We keep shooting this guy
But he's not bleeding
What the fuck?
It's like something's absorbing the blood
It's awful
Oh no, it's good
So whatever
The next morning Max Payne meets up
With Donald Logge
Again another dude
I'm like oh fuck yeah
Donald Logge in this movie
For eight seconds
He's playing Alex Balder
An old partner of Max Paines
They had falling out
because Max Payne basically felt
like this dude wasn't working his dead wife's case
hard enough. Yeah, because probably
Alex was being like, it's definitely
B-V and the corporation, they 100%
did this, they have the power, they have the means,
she probably, she probably fucking saw something she said,
you're not doing it enough, bro. There's no way. It's got to be
some junkies, bro. No,
they are a pharmaceutical company. Do
no harm.
It's like, what is this guy,
care. I mean, you're not going to bring her back. Like, whatever at this point.
Three years, I say, you know, let's sleeping dogs lie. That's my opinion. And Max Payne,
if you're still sore about it, time for the urn, dude. Yeah, go join them. You piece of shit.
Why don't you raise a baby in heaven? No, yeah, it definitely can't be a doctor, bro. They take
the hypocrites oath. They sure fucking do. Raise a baby in heaven. Wasn't that that
that fucking shithead Eric Clapton's song?
Oh, yeah, because his, his kid made a leap of faith there.
This kid was like, oh, fuck, my dad is Eric Clapton.
So, yeah, he's just like, hey, listen, man, we, you got to come with me.
There's something I need you to take a look at.
They go to where Olga has been laid out in the alley, and he's like, hey, so your fucking
wallet is on this dead girl.
What's going on here?
And the dead girl is in pieces, and no one can even recognize her at first.
I think Max Payne identifies her by the tattoo.
Yes.
That's my favorite metal band, bro.
She's the same ink.
I went to the At the Gates show with her, bro.
I mean, yeah, exactly.
This is 2008.
This is very, very popular.
What is also crazy?
Oh, shit, dude.
I saw had a Glass Chaw show last night.
But that fucking tattoo, I mean, what did we come to find Donald Logan has found or whatever?
It's like, this girl's got the same tattoo as your,
you know and it's like
why would like so your wife
just comes home with a mystery tattoo
and is the pharmaceutical company
putting that on her? Is she
how involved? No no no no no the wife didn't
have it but Donald Logge is looking at the crime
scene photos again because he has seen
the wing tattoo and Olga Kirillenko
and he's like where have I seen that before
and he's looking through the crime scene photos
when the when Walberg
or when Max Payne like found
the wife dead there was like
that dude there was like a couple
the dude still in the apartment and he murdered
one of them. Right.
And that he finds the photo and
that guy, the dead assassin
had the tattoo. Yeah, because he, well
the photo,
see, this is the, it's a visual
medium. So he's got a
photo of, I guess, that guy's
arm. And it's circled and it says
just like Michelle.
Yeah. And I'm like, oh,
so she had that tattoo as well. This is an
image conveying something to me. No, no,
he just played bass and pig destroy.
I mean, also, like, what a lame thing to do.
It's like getting a cannabis leaf tattooed on you, man.
It's just like, yeah, dude, I love weed.
It's like, I know.
Yeah.
But if anyone listening has that, I think it's quite cool.
It's very cool if you have it.
So Donald Logue is quickly dispatched.
Is he, is, is, do we, does Max Payne comes and finds his body?
Is his, is he decapitated?
I think his throat is cut.
That sounds right.
And that's, yeah.
And that's the problem.
This movie is PG-13.
let's just do the R for well I guess because I mean literally because it's video game adaptation you want as many like 14 year old boys to show up and see this movie as possible yeah however came out seven years prior I think those kids are old enough to see an R rated movie and it's just it's just so funny man because it's like you know I mean we still the film industry Hems and haws over getting a PG 13 over an R anyway and like I got news for you in 2008 just as it was just as it is now in 20.
22, nobody gives a fuck about
film ratings. Like, you rate this movie are
kids under 17 that want to see it, we'll fucking find a way to see it.
Like, a parent is not going to give a shit. Like, the whole rate, it's just bunk. It's
just fucking bunk. Yeah, there's definitely been at least one kid out there who got
on the apps, their parents' TV, and it's just going through and go on
shutter and somehow watch most of society.
Oh, sure. And they shut. That's definitely happened.
they should.
It's society on...
I actually changed my settings to
MA on Disney Plus.
Could I now watch Society or...
Yes, Disney Plus is now presenting
the shunting in all its uncensored glory.
Oh, no.
Our cut.
Oh, no.
I opened the porthole to the society universe.
This is going to be bad.
Dude, if it was just
Benedict Cumberbatch's face on a fucking ass,
oh yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I hate to go up my own ass or anything like that.
You know, you help one little teenager
with an incredibly small problem
and now all of a sudden
my face is on an ass
Oh man, like the fuck hell universe
that would be great to explore.
Oh, so yeah, so yeah,
he finds Donald Logue dead
and then he's like, oh wait a minute
is that my ex-partner dead on my own house?
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
And then like some dude just starts
beating the shit out of him.
And this is, I have to say,
like yeah, PG-13 rating
but like he gets his ass handed to him.
in this house fight
and it's kind of awesome
it is it rules I wrote it down like this is my favorite part
of the movie obviously it just really
get this shit kicked out of him
and so he wakes up in the hospital
and this is so funny because like
I wasn't really super looking at the opening
credit so I didn't even notice like
Bowbridge's name at the top
and so like they cut and he wakes up
in the hospital bed and it just like kind of
cuts farther out and you see who's sitting next to him
and it's just like bam
bow bridges yeah
and the most sins
city part of this whole movie
is his hair
this hair. Bo Bridge's hair? Yeah
Bowbridge's hair looks like it was
a portal from the Sam Ramey Spider-Man.
It was just like it's
so cartoonish in this fucking thing. I mean
the saturated color also but like man
this like took me by surprise.
And so we get a thing
just a quick cut in like this is
the movie I got to say I rarely
I rarely figure
things out way in advance.
But like, I called this movie
from like, this next shot.
Chris O'Donnell's like
reading a newspaper and it's like
brutal murder in Harlem, drug
dealer suspected. And he's like,
go.
And then like goes
and like shows this old lady who's
like evilly sitting in a limousine
and she's like, well, I'll have to do
something about this. And I was like, all right.
So the pharmaceutical company's crooked.
They killed his wife. Got it. Oh, what's that
fucking almost an hour and a half left?
perfect. And the second you see
Bo Bridges, like, well, he's in on it. Like, not even,
I mean, it doesn't even, I don't even know what, like,
you know what I mean, it's just like law and order rules. Like,
you got Bro Bridges, he has to be. Yeah.
Who could also, who else could
possibly be in? Exactly.
He's the only star left.
Unless like Milakunis actually somehow was
like, you double back and like, oh,
she's like, oh, no, I killed my own sister for some
reason. Or maybe we find out
here's the other star in this movie.
So Mark Wahlberg
insists on going to Alex's
funeral, even though everybody is certain he
killed him. He's in the hospital
from that altercation or whatever and
all right.
You're going to stop by the office and picking up a fucking shirt
for the great funeral we're going to.
It's nary seven hours later that they're putting
the suit in the ground. And literally everybody, like,
people who don't know him are like, you know, he killed his
partner, you know, that's it. You know, that's it. You're not bad.
Yeah. And like, everybody's doing it. So he
goes to this funeral. I love this part. And Nellie for pop singer
Nelly Furtado. Could not believe it. Brings down the house
chewing him out. Oh, it's great. This is the, you said the beating up
is the best scene. This to me, this dressing down is so wonderful. For me,
the end credits. The uncredits. Also, a wonderful moment. Actually, no, it's great
because he goes, I mean, like, but first he goes up, she was like, Krista. And he's like,
kind of say, I'm sorry for you lost. She slaps him. And then someone
the backer goes, Jesus.
And then she like gives him the business.
Like I can't believe blah, blah, blah.
You know, he, and it's not even like she thinks she killed him, but it's more like
you weren't his friend anymore.
Like you always gave him shit about your dumb dead wife.
You piece of shit, Max Payne and fucking hate him guts.
She's like, you made him think he hadn't done enough.
And he felt fucking horrible guilt over the murder of the family and everything.
And then dude, this was the nuclear fucking button here.
she goes, and what is Max Payne done
except bring misery to everyone
who ever can for him?
And I was like, fucking touchdown Nelly for Tito.
Jesus.
I got that again.
Oh, Jesus.
It would be awesome if you fucking looked at the credits
on IMDV and it's just like
whoever the fuck has guy who says Jesus at wake.
Because that should be credited, that delivery.
Absolutely. I honestly,
hit back for every time
someone gets hit by a shotgun
shell goes flying.
Jesus!
Which happens a lot.
The shotgun, man, the shotgun
impact physics in this movie are
kind of great. They're fun.
Bullet time. Always a shotgun fan.
Oh, yeah.
Big time. Yeah.
This is when I yelled out, what?
In my own home, which is
him and Bo Bridges leaving. He gets
kicked out of his best friend's funeral.
Kind of a rough week for Max Payne.
And on his way out, a car
pulls up and Chris
Ludacris Bridges gets out
and it's like you're coming
with me Max Payne I'm internal affairs
I'm like no you're not
no you're not you're gonna
you're gonna use a computer to steal his car
some shit you're from the Fast and Furious
franchise thank you because there's a couple
he's fun in the Fast and Furious movies
that's fine he's a fun rapper
the thing is like I believe him as a rapper
I believe him as a car thief I believe him as like
as even a comic release
guy. I'll believe him as a best
by shift change manager. I'll buy
that. Internal Affairs?
No, sir. No, ma'am.
Everyone signed up for this, I guess,
because they thought this was going to be like a big
franchise. Sure, yes. I didn't notice
this. I read this on Wikipedia afterwards
and I didn't have time to go back before
we started, but apparently there's even a post
credit scene in this. Oh, you better
believe it. We'll save it, but
fucking help. They really
thought they had something here.
Michael Keaton comes in. He's like,
What am I doing in this universe?
Weird.
Hey,
Hey, Max Payne,
you want to go fight Spider-Man?
I was a donkey shit.
I was just in another cell.
Now I'm in another cell.
Pretty useless, huh?
See you guys next time.
Well, that's like,
you know,
like, Nelly Furtado must have, like,
fired her management after this.
Oh, sure.
You told me to get into movies
because it would make me popular.
I could have just done a fucking horror movie,
and you had me in this shit.
Well, that's, I didn't,
I didn't look it up, but has she done much else
acting? Because I got to say, she's actually pretty good.
Yeah, she gives the business. She gives it the business.
It's good. Look now.
So, oh, man, I got to say, it wasn't my
favorite part of the movie. I will 100% point that out
when we get to it. Because it's one of the
greatest things I've ever seen Mark Wahlberg do. I called
it. I was like, oh, that's the part Andrew's
talking about it. And you're right.
But, dude, I had
a massive LOL when
they are, so ludicrous
is like, all right, like, we're going to go downtown
to the IAB office and I got to talk
you about this. He shows him
a crime scene photo of Donald Logue
and the expression on Donald Logue's
face is fucking hilarious.
It is like, like, it's
as if someone, uh,
threw you a surprise party and the
second, like everyone yelled surprise, someone
slashed your three.
Because he, because the look on his face is like, hey
what? Like it's just
they really needed to do like a
couple of options. Maybe like
one that looks a little less
totally funny. No, yeah. It's like, it's like
if there was an S&L sketch, he was scared to death.
You're totally right.
That's exactly right.
I mean, it's just, it's a hilarious reaction to having your throat cut.
Kind of love it.
But, oh, so, yeah, I'll go ahead.
No, no, whatever.
Like, he just basically tells this guy to go fuck himself.
He's going to get his union lawyer.
Like, that's kind of it.
And, like, the ludicrous thread goes nowhere.
Sure does not go anywhere.
I do have to point out
that his name is
Jim Bravera.
Oh, yeah, dude. I'm like, just call him
Johnny Bravo. Just get it over with.
Just fucking break the fucking, you know,
get into trouble legally. Just do it.
It also would be hilarious
if Ludacris just shows up in this movie. He's got
the Johnny Bravo haircut. Yeah.
Why not? Fuck it.
Doing a bad Elvis impersonation. I'm happy
with all this. He'd be better in the role
of Johnny Bravo. Then she would be in
this movie. We should do Johnny Bravo on AD.
It's been a long time. Oh, that's a great idea.
Oh, yeah. I'm going to watch that cartoon in the long time.
I'm sure he's a problematic phase.
He might get canceled.
Mm-hmm.
Which is definitely a real thing.
So look after that.
So he goes to the fucking police department and all these homicide cops are like,
what is this fucking piece of shit doing here?
And he's like walking through.
And everybody's like spitting on him and hissing like fucking.
Jesus carrying the cross in the street, man.
Everyone's just giving this guy the business.
And he fucking runs into the office.
And this is where he finds the photo that's like same as Michelle question mark.
Is this where he also gets a little brief encounter with.
Oh, yeah.
Dean Sanchez from the stalked by my doctor Colin the patient's revenge movie,
which is our Patreon offering on once of a lifetime this month on Patreon.com slash weA movies.
Now, Eric, can I ask you, is Dean,
Sanchez also known as Dean
the golden shoulder Sanchez
because the fucking
wailing he does on this fucking door.
Oh yes. Yeah. Oh yeah.
He's incredible. He's throwing this shoulder as if he's
a football line linebacker. He's just going
in there. Well, that's a funny thing. It's like Max Payne walks
into the homicide office. There's 2,000
homicide detectives. Just
looking at this guy calling him a piece of shit
and walks through them. Like one of them needs
to put a hand on like, yo dude, you can't
be in here. But he gets to the
office. And then like the door
lot of like, well, there's nothing we can do
now. It's like, no, you should have stopped him
beforehand. Yep, exactly.
Like, why did you just let him barge
into the office like that in the first place?
He's wanted for murder.
He lost his wife. I mean, come on.
He lost his wife. Let him do whatever.
They're fucking milking that for
years. For three years
back, get over it.
Hey, here's the thing about Dean Sanchez,
by the way. The actor's name is
Rico Simanini.
And I think he must be,
friends with this director or something because
he's in this. He
also turns up as a colonel in a good
day to die hard of all motion pictures.
And I just
texted you guys so I wouldn't lose
it while I was looking at his profile.
He was in a movie in 2020
with Eric Roberts
that's called My Last Best Friend.
Whoa. The plot
revolves around two identical looking
men, Walter, and the
nameless protagonist.
I believe just
from looking at it.
Yep.
Oh my God.
Two Eric Roberts?
It's another two Eric Roberts movie.
Oh my God.
I love this.
We got to find it.
We got to fucking find it.
We absolutely have to.
The only thing better than Eric Roberts is two of them.
I don't know, man.
The problem with doing a show like ours is like it turns into like the odyssey and like
you find your your path on Eric Roberts Island and then you just start doing Eric Roberts
movies all the time and you forgot why you even got.
there and where you were trying to go and it's like
been five years and all you've done is review
Eric Roberts movies. That's very
possible. Yeah. I mean, that's how Max Payne
feels like when he's beating up these poor men in the
subway station. Yeah, there's the three
Eric Roberts Sirens who
call you and they're like, hey,
hi, hi. I got
almost 700 movies.
500 of them were terrible.
And they all have to clamshell bras too. Of course.
They have to go all out.
Man, if he had 200 great movies,
that'd be something.
Yeah, I was about to say, dude, that's a little generous with that stat.
I'll tell you what, though, Steve, to your point about like, yeah, you know,
doing Eric Roberts movies or whatever, that is a slippery slope.
I will gladly slide down, my friend.
So, yeah, so he runs out of there.
He fucking disappears out this window like Batman, which is hilarious.
By the way, we had, he gotten off an elevator that was still going down to get to this office.
It's a real great point.
So he jumped out of.
at least a two-story window.
Yeah.
You know.
I mean, it doesn't bother Constantine.
It's not going to bother him, Eric.
I mean, come on.
I wasn't paying attention to the elevator continuity, unfortunately.
Yeah, it was there.
B.B. is still going down.
So, you know, pain gets caught in an alley by Mena Kuhna Cunis.
Who wants to remind people that she's still in the movie?
Yes, absolutely.
And she does so by saying, we need to talk about my sister.
and then just starts pistol whipping him with a machine gun.
It's kind of funny.
This is, I think, a Sin City as it gets, really.
Yes.
No, this, and there's actually, the dock is literally the dock
from like the beginning of Sid City with like Michael Batson.
You got a bad ticker hardigan.
And she's dressed, you know, pretty sexily in this scene with the high heels and everything.
I still can't get over that name because it's so close to moan sex.
Yeah.
Which is a fun.
time for adults only.
And my sister, orgasma.
That's right. They're all here in my new game.
Hot, Hot, Hot Girls.
Get away from my hot, hot girls, Luigi.
Find a your own.
Go back to your mansion and jerk off.
Yoshi, get your tongue out of there.
Oh, no.
Waller Luigi would fucking clean up.
Oh, that dude, forget it. Yeah.
He's prime Brooklyn trash, dude.
BDE on Wall Luigi, my friends.
I'll tell you what, though, with that Waluigi
man he's giving you something oh for sure absolutely dude yep it's probably it probably just
makes like a lightning bolt shape come up on something on your body yeah it's something after
sex with him you it's a it's applause because he gave you the clap
wah want want want one someone liked it yeah he's while luigi gives you the blue
the blue shell you think you're in first place but you're about to lose dude you're
about to lose.
That's the spiky shell.
You didn't know that.
So she brings him to find this
Owen Green dude and he's
tweaking it up screaming in this
tweaker pad yelling about like,
they took her up in their wings.
They took her up in her wings.
And this is when he's hanging out.
He like gets up on a door,
on a windowsill and this,
you see this demon,
this like fucking I Frankenstein looking
motherfucker is pulling on the back
of him.
And you see his,
his nails are like being
like he's like
he's like trying to hold on but clearly
I mean I guess it's supposed to be gravity
but like you're trying to have it both ways here
and it's worse shit.
Especially because like
this moment in particular like Max Payne starts running at him
in slow mo like don't do it bro
I need you to tell me who killed my wife
and you see this fucking
Valky thing
pull this guy away from the window
like he goes flying backwards
so far that it's not
just like he jumped out the window and I was like at that moment I was like oh so they are real
because it just pulled him but no definitely not definitely not he does hilariously land on a car
though yeah that's good and that's like so that's there's that they go to the tattoo parlor
this guy's like oh man you want to hear about Norse mythology this guy kind of looks like
while while Luigi a little bit he sort of does this guy looks like he did some some backstage work
with Nick Cave in the Bad Seeds. Oh, definitely.
This guy sounds like
an actual ghost.
All I could think about, though,
in this, because, like, Mark Wahlberg,
like, they go into this tattoo parlor,
and he's looking through the tattoo books,
you know, like pictures of things you get,
and he's like, oh, what's that one?
And this dude,
first of all, you don't expect him to have the voice that he does.
It's very, like, deep radio,
very nice kind of voice.
But he's like,
those are Norse Valkyries
and he starts going into the history
of this thing and all I could think about
was Chris Farley in Wain's World
and then afterwards
Mark Mike Myers is just like
wow that security guard was awfully
informed
he's giving him like every piece of
information about this tattoo
can he do that for every tattoo in there
like that's a butterfly
young girls put that on their back
and it stands for
there were ancient butterflies
They came from Indonesia originally, and they meant to kill you.
Yeah, they'll pick out the righteous dead,
and they always rewarded those who drew the first blood on the battlefield.
Because in Norse mythology, which also includes butterflies,
you go to hell if you go to sleep and die.
You got to die violently, brother.
Oh, that tattoo right there?
Yeah, that's a Tweety Bird kissing an ass.
Normally you see those placed on an ass of somebody,
so it looks like beloved Looney Tune Tweety Bird is.
kissing the person's ass.
I would tell you the history of that one,
but we don't got all night.
But it's some deep,
dark, strange stuff, brother.
Yep,
that there is a Mario from the video game
Hot Hot Girls.
It's just a regular Mario,
being he's got a huge erection.
Yeah, bro, can I ask you?
Do you know who killed my wife?
You know everything.
It's just so awesome.
There's a weird,
this comes to absolutely nothing.
they cut away from that to like this dude Lupino just like torturing this guy
and I was this something about making the army because he kind of just murders this
dude yeah I think this is the test I assume and this is all my math because the movie
to tell you this I assume he gives them the drugs if they freak out that he kills them
because they're not going to do it but if they if they soldier up they become one of his army
of the undead or something I got it you know what I that makes sense we were doing all those
hot, hot girls references. We never said laying pipe.
Oh, yeah. The show ain't over yet. Motherfucker, you should have worked in it.
I just did. He's a plumber. He's a plumber. Technically, you worked in it.
I can just say something. That's sure. Sure, sure. You know what joke we should have told?
The following. Too much emphasis in comedy is made on timing.
I cried myself on having none of it. Eric, what do you read it? Telling me what jokes to make three days later. Yeah. Yeah.
So whatever. Milakunis goes to like some contact of hers. This dude Lincoln. It's actually the actor Jamie Hector who fans of the Wire know played Marlowe Stanfield for a fashion on that show. Great performance there. He's in this for like two seconds doing some vague West Indian accent. And he tells her like, oh yeah, like the dude you're looking for is Lupino. He holds up at, are you ready for this everybody? The Ragnarok Club.
which when you
when we get to the
ragner rock club it's even
stupider because it's actually something
else it's like ragland
and brocco or something
and like the lights
on the sign spell out
Ragnarok and I'm like well that's even worse
I just make a club Ragnar
my family's old factory
it's me
Lorraine Braco
she should have been in this movie
yeah this is Lorraine Braco
and for HGTV
were we doing this nightclub
I bought it for one euro
now famously Ragnarok was
the home of many monsters
I forgot she bought that
village she'd get it fixed up nice and what she did
I watched that whole series everyone was called
but there was a like a limited series
of Lorraine Brocko
repairing an Italian house
I think it was called this old tomato house
Yeah, it
You know
Now in the basement
Because it's an Italian house
It's got Mario and he's plowing
His hot hot girls
He's laying pipe
Mario's down there
Lay pipe in my basement
Right now I'm being fucked
And his brother Luigi's
At the other end
Oh man
I got the Eiffel Tower
From the Mario brothers
Absolutely
Had to have gotten that
It's so cool
Yeah
you know like there's been so many
Halloween's that have gone by oh yeah for you know
two Mario brothers got it got dirty one night
oh totally and they definitely made the laying
pipe joke then for sure
of course
there is a fucking hilarious thing
of Max Payne driving to this factory or whatever
and uh
it's it's he's like playing over like
a bunch of things people have said to him
while the you know over the course of the
movie kind of like the Lisa Needs Braces dental plan thing and it's like you know this
person that person whatever and then this guy again the tattoo parlor guy because his voice
is so distinct and rich and different than everybody else's and it comes out of nowhere and
it's just like that's a Norse valcary a soldiers angel I fucking love it so much uh but so what
is the dealer pain goes to like uh he's actually not driving to the club he's going to like a storage
facility because he finds that
this is where he
yeah he wants to look at like old
stuff from his wife and this is where he
finds that all of her
Aerith files are missing
and he's like wait a minute
evidence
dude and this is where he notices
for the first
time that this
this ACER logo has the fucking
feather on it yes
which I don't know
Bowbridge is like how about you start
telling these dudes not to get
tattoos
of the logo of your crooked pharmaceutical company.
This should really prove, like,
Max Payne before, like, they make a point of these,
like, now he's a grieving, you know, widower and all this,
but, like, he must have been, like,
the worst husband ever.
Oh, definitely.
If you didn't pick up that this feather thing
was just from the folders that were on your fucking dining room table
every fucking day for the last goddamn three years.
Like, I just, I don't under,
he must have been just like, yeah, baby,
you're doing whatever you're doing.
I don't fucking care.
I got a murder to fucking solve.
There's no way.
She has to be happier dead than alive.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
So he finds that
his wife's former supervisor
was a guy named Jason Colvin,
which we learn is Chris O'Donnell.
And he fucking goes to
Chris O'Donnell's office. Like this is pretty much
yeah, this is we're at right. Yeah. He goes
to the office to like get some information out of him and I got to tell you
this is again, not my favorite moment of the movie, but
I never knew how entertaining it could be. And it's because by the way
I think he's a good actor and he's selling it. Chris O'Donnell's getting the shit
beat out of him here. Oh yeah. It is fucking hilarious. You didn't know you wanted to see
it and the same thing happened to the next scene when he gets shot in the heart. I'm like,
well, that's pretty satisfying. Apparently in the
unrated edition. Now, we all watch
the theatrical, I believe, right? Yes, that's
correct. Because the only way to watch
the three minutes longer
unrated edition was to buy
it. And I don't think
so. Just take a look at this picture
because I just put there because
apparently in the unrated edition
like Jerry O'Connell's
nose explodes in CGI
blood. It's not just that.
It's a bunch of more blood. Because I
have seen the under, I watched the theatrical for this
time, but the last time, the first time
I watched it. I saw the unrated version.
Really? You watched the unrated version?
But it was, I mean, it was like whenever it came out on digital originally.
I read it on the trivia, right? Like his fucking chest explodes.
Yes, it's really gory. And like the digital, like, you see it a lot in the movie anyway,
but they just amp up all, like, we're in the first days of digital blood puffs and sprays
and stuff. So there's just like 20 times that in the original, in the unrated version.
but yeah so max pain is like beating information out of this guy
it is kind of hilarious chris o'Donnell's calling for his secretary jacky
and he's just like jacky which is so great and like this girl like gets up from her desk
and is like mr colvin is something going on i love that he happened to be holding the giant
folder of evidence when he when he's encountering max pain
and something, something, Matt,
he's like, I'll tell you everything
that you need to know, Max Pay.
You just have to get me out of this office alive.
And then Bo Bridges, like,
brings in the fake cops who are crooked
and they just shoot him right in the heart.
Oh, man.
Oh, my God.
It is so, because it's a weird, like,
office standoff.
This, like, fake SWAT team runs in
and everybody's, like, at a standstill
because Walberg has a gun on Chris O'Donnell.
And it's just like, boom,
fucking huge bullet right to this dude's heart.
love it. I would have liked another
Jesus.
It's the same guy. Who keeps inviting
that guy? He's on the SWAT team?
And then we get the most impossible
sequence. It's like, Max Payne
opens fire on like this
basically mercenary
SWAT team. Yeah.
And none of them can hit him whatsoever
to the point of which he's just like leaving the building.
It's crazy. I mean, they
shoot the shit out of this place.
This office is decimated.
and yeah, he gets out of there
and he gets down to like
some basement level
and he runs into ludicrous
and it's like, all right,
now remember Mark Wahlberg,
I'm in this movie
and then like a bomb goes off
to blow the door
so that's kind of the end
of ludicrous trying to get into the movie.
Yeah, so Max Payne runs away
and then it's just like,
you let them leave, damn.
It is a wild coincidence
and maybe they named it after the fact,
But, like, the drug that makes people see these Valky things is just called Valker.
Like, again, you got to do better at covering your tracks here at Bow Bridges.
I mean, I don't know what to tell you, man.
Well, originally I was going to call BB Superjuice.
Come on.
No, everyone did know that I'm making the drugs.
Isn't that what you want?
B.B.'s patented super juice.
Makes you a better soldier.
Step right up.
Some, do you want to be a better soldier?
come here, come here. Do you mind dark
demonic visions?
No?
Good.
Sir, are you related to me?
No.
So, like, he,
Walberg is watching this
Lupino testimonial video that they shot.
And this is where I was like, oh shit,
this is insane that now all of a sudden it's a war on terror movie.
Yes.
Like out of fucking nowhere.
And it's just this dude being like,
oh man, when I was hepped up on this stuff,
I was killing all sorts of insurgents.
Don't even worry about it.
Something, something red, white, and blue.
Okay.
Which I guess, like, when you think about it, the movie...
It's got a political...
Is being critical about all the bullshit.
So that's kind of something.
It's definitely not shining a positive, rah-rah America light on it, at least.
But it was 08. That was just where the tide was at the time.
But I agree. I mean, it's better than the opposite.
Well, exactly. And also, it would be impossible to be inspired.
by anything in this movie.
Have you watched this?
It snuffs out everything.
It's just the look of it even.
Yeah, we're not going to secretly trick guys and girls into recruiting themselves into
the military by watching Max Payne.
We'll just leave that for the NFL.
If anything, we're going to, if anything, we're going to drive them to the real drugs.
That's true.
And this is when, like, Max Payton's like, well, I got to do it.
I got to go to Club Ragnarock and snuff him out.
And it's like,
She, Milakutus for somebody's like, you can't go to, I'll help you at anything, Max Payne,
except for going to club Ragnarok for some reason.
It's a weird thing where like for this scene and this scene only, she like emotionally cares about him
because she's like kind of almost crying and she's like, you think if he kills you,
you'll be with them again to which Walberg responds.
That's how it works and Cox a gun.
Just like, that's how the Lord Jesus Christ works.
That's just heaven, bro.
that's just it
it's the laws of heaven
stupid cacoc
and I am not going to hell
for that Vietnamese guy
because I was gacked up
on Valca when it happened
it's not even my fault
it already happened
why do you care
it already happened
it's in the past
so pain goes to this club
or whatever and he's fucking
taking out dudes left and right
this over the back
slow-mo shotgun shot though
it was a little much
the bullet time.
You had to do it, bro.
A little bit, yeah.
But are you, are you like bending over backwards
doing stuff like that in the game?
You do like...
Slow motion.
Yeah, it's kind of more Sam Peck and Paw-esque.
Yeah, like, I know the slow motion stuff happens,
but is he like a fucking gymnast bending over like this?
I don't know.
I think there was too chunky.
You're thinking of the game, Hot Hot Hot Girls.
Oh, right? Yeah, a lot of bending over backwards.
Exactly.
Exactly.
All the yoga levels, it's very...
Mama me, now that I can do this
I'll never leave the house.
He's laying pipe into his own mouth.
That's cool.
No.
You know what?
I hope a giant flower that spits fire
doesn't come out of his dick into his mouth.
Wow.
Do you think honestly, I would say,
let me know if you guys disagree.
I would classify Burdo as among those hot, hot girls.
Let's go here in the mix.
Totally.
I'm into it.
No doubt about it.
If Burdo was real,
death would.
If a drug that I could see demons,
maybe once.
He has like this big fight scene with Lupino
and what is it?
Fucking boat bridges comes out of nowhere and he's like,
the angels aren't done with you yet.
Just fucking shoots this guy.
That's the end of that.
It's kind of.
All right?
It's kind of a,
and that's what you know for sure he's crooked,
which is like 20 minutes too late.
But at the same time,
it's like you kind of want Mark Wahlberg.
to win that fight, right? And then
you know what I mean? Like just that makes it the
movie. This is what this scene
like where that BB shoots
the guy instead apparently inspired
one of the guys who made the video game
to like write a screed denouncing
the film.
Why? Because like BB in the game
was like a hero and not crooked? Well,
no, because Max Payne should be killing
this character and not
who wasn't even anything
or like a resemblance of
the character in the game. It was
like quite quite a different turn for BB in this there was also i forget if it was actually shot or
just planned the original was that they were max pain was going to kill uh the lady who's the head of
the pharmaceutical company right yes and they were going to do a end of die hard three
shoot a electric wire into a helicopter yeah blow up the helicopter and see this old lady get fried
up but uh no i guess we're not doing that instead maybe we'll hint we'll do it in the next
movie. That might be exciting.
So we can't have it here. That's what the stinger
is, is him being like, now
I got to kill this old woman.
It's literally what it is. We already got the footage
for it. There was Max Payne, too,
as a video game, not as a movie.
Well, you know, I can
understand, like, the guy who made the game,
you know, very popular game. He's very proud
of the game that he made or whatever. And to see
it, butchered like this on screen,
I get it's a bummer. But the guy
should be thankful,
at least, this is literally the only screen
play this person has ever written.
Before or since,
literally the only fucking thing.
It's one of those like, how did you get it?
How did you get the job? Who the fuck
are you? It's also so rare that that ever
happens that you only like, even
with a piece of shit like this, the fact that you
were like, you were the guy who took the hit
like, look, we need to put out the
Max Payne movie. The kids love this
shit. We got it. Seven years ago.
And so they get this guy
to finally do it and they can't even throw up a bone
to like, you know, a dog
babies for the hunt for Rosco
or something like that
just anything.
Wasn't there,
yeah,
speaking of babies,
wasn't there like a baby geniuses
direct to streaming shit
in the works probably?
Hey,
please,
yeah,
get this guy.
The Max Payne guy should write the baby.
We got to eventually do that
baby geniuses movie.
Oh yeah.
For fucking John Void alone.
I would love to talk about
some babies again.
I don't know if the fucking
authorities would like
Nothing wrong with talking about babies.
I'm not talking to babies.
It's good.
Thank God.
Question, because we keep saying like, oh, yeah, you know, the game came out seven years before the movie.
When did that second Max Payne game come out?
Was it before this movie?
Like, were we writing the popularity of both?
I think the first game was 2001-ish, and the second game was like 2003, 2004.
Yeah, so it's been like four or five years of nothing from the Max-Pain universe.
got it okay so yeah the that fucking candle had still been extinguished
so yeah there's kind of this fucking bow bridges like parlor scene speech here he's
talking about how he this is a weird thing where he's talking about like he at when he
killed mark walberg's wife he realized what he'd been missing all his life and I was like
killing people yes it's it was like it was the first problem I
ever solved all by myself.
And I was like, wow, this is going to be great.
I'll just start killing people.
I read this weird thing.
I started reading this guy, Brett Easton Ellis.
She's got some books that really are influential for me.
And I think just some bloodlust would really break open my life a little bit.
Get a little loose.
Some of it gets a little, you know, creaky hand weird if you ask me.
But it still gave me some ideas.
And Walberg here sort of takes.
a minute. There's a dumb as shit
flashback to Walberg
again in the bedroom and he
sees fucking Bo Bridges
like reflection
in this like
baby, what do you call these
things? Carousel. Mobile.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like he's
like slinking out the window like, got to go.
By the way. It is such a dumb
effect. I love that the door of the room says
baby on it. Yes.
So Mark Wahlberg doesn't get too
confused when he, you know.
It's when Max Payne's coming home wasted after working a 48-hour shift, dude.
Don't throw up in here.
What mood do I go in?
There's one that says, baby.
Yeah, there's no.
There's one that says wife.
The fucking master bedroom should say Max on the door.
So that's the room you go in, okay?
Go in and it's the bathroom.
That's the one that has Max on it.
Go in there, please.
Because he is a piece of shit.
Well, I would like to think that it's more that there's no movement whatsoever on actually
getting this child a name?
Not at all. Max is boycotting
all the good ones. He's like
Little baby pain, dude.
No, just Max. It has to be Max
Jr. Come on, honey. Anything else?
No, Max Jr. Well, why doesn't Bo Bridges
like, yeah, I know when I killed your baby
was even better. Like, I loved killing
your wife. That really clarified some
things for me. But man, killing
your baby. Who doggie, that was
fun. Or maybe it's the other way, dude.
He's like, I had a great time
killing your wife. And then when I killed your
baby. I was like, whoa, baby, back up. Ladies only. It's okay to be your friends with
Lucifer, but you don't want to be Lucifer. You must be this tall to ride this ride and that means
the fucking Reaper's ride. Yeah, I recreated the last caress by the misfits. You know that song?
I recreated it with your family. Kids at home look that too. Never seen a movie called
Manhunter?
I gave your family the dollar hide.
Hey, Max, look at this cool tattoo on my back.
I broke all these mirrors.
So he gives him two doses.
It puts it in his pocket, two doses of Valcure.
It's like, you're going to kill yourself, Max.
And then he's like, here, go.
Hey, other guy, give me that rope.
And then that's when, like, Max makes this move.
There is a solid Max Payne head.
headbutting Bo Bridges right here.
It's like,
it's on par with like the best professional wrestling headbutts you've ever seen.
Bowbridge's fucking sells that shit,
man.
He drops like a sack of rocks.
Pretty good.
It's all pretty great.
And so, yeah,
he jumps in the river.
And so it's like,
here we are.
So now you know how I got here.
And he's fucking hearing this dead wife.
We're back to the start of the movie, bro.
I hope you want to rewatch it again because we're just going to roll it again from the top.
Don't worry about it.
You didn't accidentally hit Rewind.
Now the movie just caught up with the prolog.
Hey, what's a prolog?
You know, people get so confused.
I get so confused during movies.
Let's make a movie that's not confusing for once.
It's going to be three hours long, bro.
It's going to be like a Bollywood movie.
Narratively, we've caught up where we were.
We're not going to restart the movie.
The reels didn't break.
You don't need to go back and beat up the ushers like I might have.
often. Dude
yeah, he goes out and he's like, the fucking
lights are still on. I'm trying to watch
Fast and Furious Seven.
Turn the fucking lights off. It just becomes like
Grimlins too and Hulk Hogan's
Oh, just with much
less charm.
Just as racist though, actually, if you could
believe it. Yeah, yeah, right there
equal footing on the racism.
Or did you say less racist?
No, same. I think you're same. Yeah, same, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, dude, he fucking climbs out
of this water and he's freezing and shit.
And here it comes, you guys.
He takes both of these files.
He chugs both of these things because he's like,
it's, uh, you know, the river
is frozen and so he's all like,
got hypothermia and whatnot. So it's like,
this is the last thing to revive myself.
And let me tell you something.
I had to fucking pause it and watch this
three times. Oh, I'm sure.
Because he takes this shit. And then
Mark Wahlberg making the dumbest face he's ever made on camera.
I love this. Roars like God.
Godzilla. It's so good. It's an out and out Godzilla.
And I was screaming. And meanwhile, in the background, there's like, there's like flames and
demons and shit. And it's just fucking little firecracker effects going. And it's, of course,
in slow motion, so it looks dumber. Of course. It's unfucking believable how stupid it is. I
loved it so much. Right. And right here we get like a five second thing of where like,
Ludacris called in the FBI. Here's the cameo of the guy.
from the video game. Shut up. Let's move on.
We're not going back to that.
We did it already. It's done.
Yeah, that ought to fucking satisfy those little
S-O-Bs. Ludacris, by the way, is dressed
like Columbo for half of this movie. It's so silly.
The little hat. Yeah, I was going to say, I was just about to ask, does he
have a stupid hat on or was I just making that up? He's got that little hat?
Well, apparently the story goes that this role was written for a 60-year-old man,
but Ludacris did such a good job
in the audition
Oh
Uh-huh
I can't imagine
I guess so
Was the 60-year-old man
who auditioned
Beau Bridges?
We got to
Bo we got some
Thanks for coming in anyway
You got beat out
by Ludacris
Don't kill yourself
We got something else for you
Well we paid for the dentures
You might as well use them
I know you have good teeth
Just put them in as well
Now I'm thinking about
Swapping some roles
You imagine
We should get a note to Vin Diesel
For fast 10
bow bridges and he's not a villain he's just part of like they're like yeah vinty's was like
oh man for this job we're gonna need a hefty set of breaks i'm gonna go to my eight number one break
man and it's his bobridge my man fat tom fat tom is in the house
they really should have like a fat white boomer dude to at least run interference on people
exactly and then he is shot to death by the end of the oh for sure it's so sad
movie they get a new like fat boomer dude to roll up it'd be great it's like you know one of them could
do a distraction where they cause a scene at like a margaritaville or something they got fat tom the break
man let's pour out a corona for him oh totally dude this he had his last barbecue last week you remember
fat tom the break man from all the barbecues we've done right he always took over he always took all
the leftovers barbecue oh dude it'll be great there's a bunch of fucking fake photos
shop things of Bo Bridges. Like, he's been here the whole time. He's been our long, our long time
friend the whole time. Just him and Paul Walker in a picture. Oh, yeah. They could drive off
together. Oh, man. So yeah, Colin in the FBI, where Bo Bridge's fucking shagging ass running
is kind of something I didn't know I needed. And he's like, it's him. The other character's
name is Joe Sal, I think. Sure. His like second in command or whatever. And this is
it's another, I love a good
casual line delivery where
it should be a little more, you know,
should have some more like an oomph behind it.
He's getting all these like
weapons out or whatever and he says
that this, Bob Bridges says to this guy, he goes,
oh, take some C4.
Yeah. Why did you take some C4?
All right. Do you got napalm?
Yeah, you should have some napalm.
You know, it's Max Payne. We should have some napal. Just
just a case. And, you know,
it's the big assault on
the, on the place
seen it's you know it's as advertised you're shooting people it's fun right yeah oh yeah but this is
the this is where i was like wait what the fuck because like he is having a total like class a freak out
from being on these drugs and like he you're seeing what he's seeing and it's all the fucking
demon shit or whatever and then like he is in like the the pharmaceutical company building
he is on like a top floor you know high up floor of this thing and then out of nowhere
Milakunis appears and I'm like
how did this character get
into the building? How did you make it to this level
of the video game? She flied with the demons of
course. Ah, on the backs of the
Valcara. You know how she got there is she was
because she's an attractive lady
she ended up in hot hot girls
and Mario showed her that hack we can walk
on top of the level. Oh,
totally.
Which was a great
great one. You put your face in the
my pipe and then I show you the other magic
pipe. He's just impressing.
hot, hot girls by breaking every brick
he sees with his head.
That'll do it, dude. That'll impressive.
How old girls. Definitely will. You never know where money's
going to fall out on that brick.
She straight up says
to him, this is one of the worst
lines ever. She's like,
you're not done yet.
He's just like, that's what my dead wife
just said when I was in the river. By the way,
I'm gacked out of my fucking mind,
bro.
Totally. The last fucking act of this movie,
I'm high as a goddamn kite.
Am I in Afghanistan now?
There is a really funny moment because he is so strung out on this shit.
He bursts into Bowbridge's office with a machine gun.
He's like, bah!
He's like firing this thing.
Literally no one in the room at all.
He's strung out just opening doors firing immediately.
That rules.
I love it.
I support it.
But then this dude blows the C4.
This Joe Sal guy blows the C4.
and pretty cool explosion effect
here knocks out like a whole floor
of this huge office building
and that's too show
because Milakoulos comes in
inspires Max Payne
and she's like I'll take care of the number two
and she kind of does
and then he hits the C4
and she just disappears
from the movie until the stinger
it's kind of great
she literally is like firing a gun
at some of these security guys
and like an elevator door closes on her
and that's literally the end of her
for the movie
proper
she takes an elevator out of the movie
yep exactly
Oh, is this my floor? Oh, no, the movie's on the floor.
I'm up on four. Sorry, I got to get it.
Oh, I got to go down to the stinger scene, actually.
Yeah, what's that in the fucking sub-basement of this movie?
Got it. Oh, second bill. See ya. See you. See you. Goodbye.
She was, wait, she was built over Beau Bridges.
Insane. Which is why you give him the stinger.
Like, you could do that, but then you give him the stinger.
Yep. That's what the stinger is for. Or the hammer.
Sorry, the hammer. You're getting terms that you yourself made up mixed up.
Yes, to give him the hammer,
therefore.
When we're talking about the cast,
I just remembered by obviously looking up
who plays the head of the whole company
that it's supposed to be hinted at,
we'll kill her next time.
Kate Burton,
who was Margo,
the like journalist friend in Big Trouble in Little China.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's where she's wrong.
She looked really familiar.
And, yeah, there it is.
She pops up in a ton of stuff.
Oh, yeah, she's constantly working.
She was on the television show scandal that I watched more than I should have of, yeah.
She was in Grey's Anatomy for like 30 years.
I just feel like if Francis Conroy says no, you're like, hey, Kate, how's it going?
So whatever, we're up on the roof.
It's just just Bo Bridges and Mark Wahlberg here.
And he's like, well, all right.
So now I give the big speech, right?
And he just fucking shoots Bo Bridges in the heart.
drops it's the second time we do slow motion uh or whatever slow motion time
apologies yeah we got to just say what the matrix said and he pulls it out and he pulls out his
gun there is so much snow on this gun immediately i was like that's ridiculous i was like so is he
just like been standing there for two minutes pointing this gun the snow accumulated i guess he's just
so fucking high he's just like i'm gonna fucking kill you man i'm gonna fucking kill you man the snow is
just mounting on this gun.
It would be so incredible. It's like Boehbridge's like,
oh, you're gonna, you're gonna kill me or
you're all right? What's going on there? He just walks away. And then he's like,
oh, I must have killed him, bro. He's gone. I must
have shot him to hell. He fucking leaves down the stairs
right behind. Boe Bridges just goes home.
Goes to sleep.
Well, that drug, you know, that drug keeps working out for me. Wow.
Pretty cool. And you know, I have to say, credit to this movie
for just fucking ending.
Bo Bridges drops dead
and, you know,
Walberg kind of just like
sits on the ground on the roof
and some SWAT guys come in
and these are like the dudes
who are with Ludacris
and McCaffrey there
and you just hear this dude
be like, Max Payne is alive.
We got him.
And then cut to the
Comedy Central Roast special effects.
Dude, I made the same note.
It is exactly the Comedy Central Roast
of Max
Bain, it's nuts.
Oh, man.
I can't...
Dude, I fucking expected Greg Geraldo
to be doing material on the back end of this.
Because, like, that's how old that shit is.
Greg Gerrallo was still alive and they were doing that.
You know what I mean?
It's insane how no one was like,
excuse me, uh,
this looks comically like the Comedy Central roast font.
It's just all the close-ups of all these guns,
different like revolvers, shotguns,
then just all the way in the middle, it's Jeffrey
Ross's face.
Oh, the next time, bro,
we're going to get the Roastmaster General.
Oh my God, it turns out the Roastmaster General
was in on my family's mita.
Oh, every time I see the demons,
I see Jeffrey Ross too.
And so this stinger scene, another
dumb as shit line that happens.
So it's Max Payne. He walks into this bar.
Some dude,
this bartender, like, opens up a couple
of brew dogs here.
And he gives him a,
Max Payne and he goes, good to have you
back. And I was like, I don't
think you've been in this movie until this point.
I just say that to everybody.
I just like making friends, you know.
Good to have you back. I'm a tourist.
Well, I presume all these people
are long regulars of mine.
If you're ordered Budlight at my bar,
your family. And that means
you're cheap.
Just like my cheap family.
And then so, yeah, he just sits down
with Milakunis who's reading a newspaper and she sort of gives it to him and it's a picture of
this old lady and it's like rich lady getting richer acer stock skyrocketing and it is a true
fucking let's go get him. L.O.L. We're never going to see a sequel. Nope. It's not in a million
years. God bless him. I love a bad stinger. Totally. Totally. I mean because the thing about it is
like shit if you had made a second Max Payne movie okay but like now you're just embarrassed
forever.
Nope.
You know what I mean?
Like the sequel
could have existed
without a stinger.
Yes.
Idiots.
But that is the end
of this movie,
this dreadful Max Payne motion picture.
Go around the horn here.
Recommendations and final thoughts.
Steve Sadeh?
No, it's really,
really bad.
I will say,
and Walberg is really ill-suited
to it, I think.
Specifically, it's really funny.
We didn't talk about
what he, like,
when he's going to see his baby,
he's got like,
like, obviously the director was like,
all right, now you're happy
in the scenes.
Like,
happy.
it. And he's got the dopiest, dumbest smile. It's like, all right, now you're brooding.
Brooding. Got it. And like, I mean, like, he's just really ill-suited to this. You need somebody
with like some more range, like Clive Owen type or something, some broodier kind of shit.
But all told, the action isn't terrible. It's, it's kind of a, it's kind of a fun watch.
It's a light not recommend. Light not recommend. Chris Cabin. Big not recommend.
Gotcha. Mostly because I don't like it when you.
tamper down the Boston
and Mark Wahlberg.
I don't like when you deplete him of the one thing
that is kind of funny about him.
Also just set it in Boston.
What do we think?
I say all of it.
At any time you have a movie with him
that fucking The Gambler remake Entourage,
put them all in Boston.
Yes.
Because it makes more sense that way.
And it's more of his ground.
This, when he has to like put all the character
of his voice out to be more bland,
it's almost as bad as,
the Doctor Strange thing.
He yells at someone in this movie
and it fucking bean towns up really quickly.
I mean like it breaks. You get some
nice flowers here and there but like
it's just not enough and I
get very tired very quickly
of that stuff and I get very tired
very quickly of this movie. So no.
So we will leave the last thought to the only
person who played this video game so I
will just say yeah
it's a not recommend. It's kind of
an almost recommend but here's the thing
that Valkyry shit is some of the
dumbest stuff I've watched in a really long time.
And especially if it's not in the video game,
what are you doing? Like, yeah, the action's
kind of fine, whatever. It would have been
probably like a, you know,
a hangover movie kind of thing. But that
Valka, I cannot get behind
that. It's dumb as shit.
So yeah, it's a hard no for me.
So Eric Siska, PC gaming fan.
Oh, yes. Yes, the big
Max Pay. I, you know,
I played it in college.
And then I moved over
to Halo for a little bit.
yeah, yeah, you know, like you do, like guys do.
So, you know, I was, it's not like I'm a super fan of the video game property and I'm like
they're not doing it justice or something.
It's, it's all trash.
It's a big not recommend for me.
I almost see where you're coming from, Steve, like some of the action or whatever.
I was thinking about this throughout the day and I went back and rated my letterbox score a half
star lower than I did initially because this is, this is.
is just trash it's just nothing here i mean there's a few moments of cool bullet time and you got
bow bridges which which is which is unfortunate i it's a note for me i wish bo bridges had more to do
i wish anyone had more to do i wish i understand that the motivations of more of these characters
yeah uh i'll just say as a quick final thing it turns out like nelly frittato does kind of just act
i mean a lot of these credits are just like music videos or whatever but like she's been in
some things, including, you know, she is
she, what is she? Yeah,
she's Canadian. She's in something
called like Hockey, the musical.
Oh, is that how she got this job? Because she's Canadian
and they, they shot it next to her house. Yeah.
Yeah, she was just walking in Toronto. They're like,
Hey, Della Fittano, you want to be able to move? Hey,
Oh, it's called. We're scrapping
the original song you had planned for Max Payne.
But would you like to be in Max Payne?
She should have done a song. You're totally right.
That would have been anything. Yeah, the thing
it's from 2010. It's called score
colon, a hockey musical. Oh my god, that sounds
Canadian and a half. A teenage hockey player becomes a national
sensation. Did Jay Burrell
direct that too? Some dude named Michael
McGowan directed it. I don't know what that dude's
about, but yeah, anyway, I don't know. I thought
Nelly Fittato was pretty good in this movie.
A shining light in an otherwise grim
looking weird piece of shit movie.
But that is going to do it for our discussion
